School violence continues to be a growing concern for all educators regardless of how long they have been teaching. According to the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control - Division of Violence Prevention, in 2013 12% of students ages 12-18 reported that gangs were present at their school. In 2015, 20.2% of a national sampling of students reported being bullied on school property. As the "boots on the ground," teachers can be instrumental in reducing the instances of bullying and school violence.
Relationship building between administrators, teachers, students, and families is at the foundation of promoting well-being in schools. Promoting communication and making everyone feel that they have a voice in the school community can help in avoiding the isolation and stress that many feel. Mentoring programs that teach impulse control, anger management, and empathy can help students develop skills they need to take control of their lives. Striving to Reduce Youth Violence Everywhere (STRYVE) is an initiative from the Center for Disease Control that offers information, training, and tools to help communities promote the widespread use of evidence-based preventions strategies and reduce national rates of youth violence. Information can be found at www.cdc.gov/violenceprevention/stryve/
If your school has a bullying prevention program, such as those trained through Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS), get involved and help. If your school does not, discuss your concerns with your administration to see about asking for training for your school staff. To request information about PBIS and the universal bullying prevention curriculum contact the Desert/Mountain SELPA at 760-552-6700 or send an email to www.dmselpa.org. Establish a club or organization focused on bullying, prejudice, or stereotypes that encourage students to be a part of the solution to school violence. Johns Hopkins Center for the Prevention of Violence has resources that can be located at http://www.jhsph.edu/research/centers-and-institutes/center-for-prevention-of-youth-violence/
Parent education programs that teach the danger of exposure to violent media can be instrumental in reducing violence in school. Because violence is often learned at at a young age, work with families on identifying changes they can make early on in the home. By the time they are 18, children will have viewed on average 10,000 acts of violence on media, so parents should limit the number of hours of exposure to television and video games to avoid desensitization, a diminished emotional response to violence. In addition, parents should have conversations with their child on different ways to resolve conflicts. More information can be found at https://www.ojjdp.gov/programs/safestart/TipSheetFor_ParentEducation.pdf
School violence should not stop educators or parents from providing positive opportunities for children to grow and explore their world. Together we can work to provide a safe environment for our students and staff.

With smartphones spurring data explosion, Nilekani said aggregation of data in a few concentrated platforms or aggregators is a big risk. "A big part of public policy all over the world is going to be how we enforce a policy regime where data is open, shared and it's portable. The data is yours and you have the right to get it back. In India, we don't have anything like a policy yet," Nilekani said in a fireside chat with D J Patil, who was the chief data scientist for the Obama government. The chat, on how data analytics would transform India, was organised by learning platform Upgrad on Tuesday.
Prior to joining the US government, Patil held senior positions at LinkedIn, eBay and RelateIQ. He holds a PhD in mathematics from the University of Maryland and did his undergrad in mathematics from the University of California.
Providing a US perspective, Patil said almost $45 billion was spent on moving traditional healthcare data to electronic medical records. "People build tech that is not user-centric. In this case, nurses and physicians didn't like it, it was CIO-centric. The challenge is far more difficult in the US. If those records are inside hospitals and pharmacies, they are not likely to give it up," he said.
Nilekani took pride in India creating a digital consent architecture where one can store financial or health records in a digital locker. "You can call out your ultrasound data and give it to the specialist," he said.
DigiLocker ties into the Digital India vision of providing citizens a shareable private space on a public cloud and making all documents/ certificates available on this cloud. Indian citizens who sign up for a DigiLocker account get a dedicated cloud storage space linked to their Aadhaar number. Organisations that are registered with DigiLocker can push electronic copies of documents and certificates (like driving license, voter ID, school certificates) directly into citizen's lockers. "The government has notified the digital locker authority which licenses different people to set up lockers which is completely interoperable," Nilekani said.
Both Patil and Nilekani have worked in the private sector and with the government and shared their experiences on working with the latter. "In the private sector, the rules of the game are well-defined. The language of business is the same. In the government, how do you carve out what passes muster with everyone is a tough problem. The amount of time you spend in the government in consensus-building is huge. You should pick your battles. You can't go and fight everyone. You have to evaluate if that particular battle is strategic to your goals," Nilekani said. Patil said as one gets closer to a decision, many stakeholders show up. "Everybody has veto power," he said.

Goucher, a 2000 Olympian who was a national champion in high school, in college, and as a professional runner, had run a 1:04:53 at the Rock 'n' Roll Philadelphia Half Marathon in September, which earned him an entry into the 2012 U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials in Houston. Although he writes that he was recently "as healthy as I had been in years," Goucher was beginning to be plagued by a sore knee shortly before the Philadelphia race. Subsequently, an MRI revealed a torn meniscus and cartilage damage. He's having surgery again on Friday--and there won't be time to recover for the January Trials.
Still, writes Goucher, "I choose to look back at my comeback attempt as a worthwhile experience. I do not have to live with 'what if' in the back of my mind. Although I am saddened by the outcome, I have no regrets for trying." He's "not done running," but acknowledges, "I am retiring from elite racing." At "More," you can read many more reflections by Goucher, who recently co-authored Running The Edge with Tim Catalano. More

Advertisements appear in print and online journals, email alerts, other online information products and services, and other types of media (such as podcasts and blogs). For biomedical publications, advertisements typically include the following:
▪ Advertisements that promote professional or trade-related products (primarily pharmaceuticals and medical equipment in biomedical publications), services, educational opportunities or products, or announcements (see also 5.12.3, Advertorials). These are typically called display advertisements in print; online, they may include banners, pop-up windows, or text-based ads (such as in email alerts or other online communications of information) (see also 5.12.6, Advertising and Sponsorship in Online Publications).
▪ Display advertisements that promote products and services not specifically related to a profession or trade (such as an ad for an automobile or an airline in a medical journal).
▪ Classified or recruitment advertisements (listings of employment opportunities, educational courses, workshops, announcements, or other services).
In most cases, advertisers pay to place advertisements for their products and services in publications. Those advertisements for which a publisher does not typically charge a fee include public service announcements, ads for nonprofit organizations or charities, and "house ads," which promote a product or service provided by the owner of the publication.
Important considerations for editors and publishers are whether paid advertisements and sponsorship invite potential infringements on editorial independence and whether they represent important revenue opportunities for journals in increasingly competitive markets.7,8 The keys to maintaining editorial integrity are to achieve a balance between these seemingly opposing forces, to maintain a recognizable separation between the functions and decisions of editorial and advertising departments, and to have consistent and publicly available policies on advertising and sponsorship.2,9
Although the primary function of most journals is to educate and inform in a neutral manner and that of advertisements is to educate and inform in a promotional manner, advertisers and editors share a common goal—to influence the behavior of readers.10 Obvious differences between editorial text and advertising copy exist. In biomedical publication, editorial material typically comprises text composed in a consistent scholarly format with data-based tables and figures, whereas advertisements typically contain bold, colorful statements and eye-catching graphics. Scholarly editorial material is generally intended to be objective, whereas advertisements are generally intended to be preferential, selective, and persuasive. Problems arise when the means to achieve the common goal—of influencing behavior—fall outside expected norms or violate specific regulations and standards.
In many countries, advertisers must meet specific criteria established by national regulatory agencies. For example, drug ads are required to follow the regulations of the Food and Drug Administration in the United States,11 the Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry in the United Kingdom,12 and the Pharmaceutical Advertising Advisory Board in Canada.13 The International Federation of Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Associations has regularly updated guidelines for pharmaceutical marketing practices that may be helpful for countries without well-defined regulations.14 However, each of these regulatory agencies has been criticized for not enforcing its regulations.15,16

When you think nuts & bolts, what do you think of next? I bet you didn't guess wellness. But that's a main focus at Packer Fastener, a fast moving, innovative company based out of Green Bay, WI. Competitive by nature, Terry Albrecht, the founder of the company, sets up a unique structure for employees to succeed, fostering and encouraging each employee to be the best. He does this through leveraging 15 core values, which includes health & wellbeing.
"We are focused on having an intentional culture," said Terry in our recent interview, "One that encourages and makes it possible for everyone in our company to be at his or her best physical and personal health to assure a bright future, both personally and professionally."
Their headquarters supports this philosophy by offering a 1,600 sq. foot onsite gym, complete with a wingnut inspired fitness logo. Terry also personally engages with each individual employee, shadowing everyone in the company at least once a year. During that time he makes sure to review health goals, supporting and encouraging employees' journey throughout.
Packer Fastener recently took their wellness to the next level, launching with myInertia in the start of 2016. The program was developed in partnership with their new brokerage, Forsite Benefits.
"Selecting a health insurance company that shared our vision for a proactive vs. reactive approach to healthcare was a key factor in selecting Forsite as our benefits provider," Terry said, " Our goal was to engage our population in a healthy lifestyle to reduce the cost of healthcare for both the company and our team."
For the 2016 program, Employees were offered a $100 reimbursement toward a Garmin or Fitbit fitness tracker of their choice. Tapping into their competitive nature, there's a trophy up for grabs for the employee who earns the most points throughout the year. They can earn points by participating in annual physicals, monthly fitness challenges or by cranking out some reps at their onsite weight lifting competitions.
When we asked Terry how their new wellness platform has supported Packer Fasteners already health focused culture he stated, "The online wellness platform is a great tool that allows us to engage all of our team members across multiple locations, and continuously reinforces our wellness initiatives. myInertia's comprehensive program pulls together our desired wellness plans into one easy to use package, resulting in a daily ritual that supports that culture. Since the kick off, there has been continuous office chatter about steps, challenges, and overall wellness. myInertia has proven to be the reinforcement tool we had hoped."
The program currently has 100% of employees participating, and as a group they are averaging over 8,000 daily steps. Looking towards the future of healthcare & their program, Packer Fastener will leverage myInertia's points-based tracking system to offer annual premium differentials to those who meet a certain point goal.
At the end of the day, Packer Fastener has successfully built a culture of wellness because health & fitness is not a static concept; it's a living dynamic value pulsing through the company veins.

How did Brett Whiteley portray the body?
Extracts from this document...
Brett Whiteley How did Brett Whiteley portray the body? In the same way Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo used techniques to express the body in a way they thought was acceptable - as it was, Whiteley used techniques to express the body in a way he thought was acceptable. By doing so, Whiteley added character and life into his artwork, by distorting and changing the form. Instead of simply drawing what he saw, Whiteley expressed in a way he thought would communicate his point the most. By doing so, Whiteley would distort shapes, change lines, and exaggerate certain body parts that he felt were 'important.' Leonardo chose to capture the body nearly exactly they way it would be found in reality and that was how he thought would converse his point the most, and so did Whiteley, though he chose to portray the body in a completely different way, proving that it was just as effective. ...read more.
Body parts are defying gravity and can float or sink any direction. He emphasised the abstract nature of his artworks and the feeling of vivaciousness and sensuality, especially of women. Whiteley produced over one hundred and fifty original prints between 1961 and 1992 and used various printmaking techniques to express the full range of his subject matter, from figurative conception, through to landscape, still life, nudes, animals and birds, to the most explicit erotica. Indeed the very breadth of techniques employed by Whiteley, including etching, lithography, woodcut and hand-worked photo-screen, echoed the boundaries that he challenged through his painting and sculpture. "Brancusi in sculpture and Matisse in graphics were the two artists that particularly made one aware of respecting the integrity and truth of each medium whether it be marble, cedar, lithography, charcoal etc; that the pen behaves so differently from the brush, that to draw on copper with a fine nail suits certain subjects, that to draw with a greasy crayon on stone is perfect for others, the nude for example. ...read more.
His work was shown at the Whitechapel and Marlborough galleries from 1961, and in that year he was selected to represent his country at the 'young Painters' Convention' UNESCO. Even more crucial to his future was his success in winning the International prize at the second 'Biennale de Paris' (International Biennale for Young Artists), which brought with it the excitement, glamour and disadvantages of world publicity in Paris. After 1961 he returned to Australia. What he learned from his contacts with such countries as Cambodia, Vietnam and Japan is expressed in his drawings and paintings, and even more in sculptures such as his 'Asia', a construction in fur, steel and acrylic in which a white wallaby was depicted with its head stuck in a sewerage pipe. During the 1979s he won a number of national prizes and settled at Lavender Bay. Whiteley continued to receive a number of awards for his artworks. His colourful life ended in the same nature; he committed suicide in a motel in NSW in 1992. ...read more.

Part 2: How can you grow a potato plant without a seed?
Several weeks have passed since I posted about our science guided inquiry activity involving potatoes. Thankfully, the experiment is over and the classroom smells better. Yes, beware of 2 week old potatoes fermenting in the classroom! Stinky aroma aside, we learned some interesting things after completing the experiment. On our Day 7 observation, there wasn't a whole lot to report. A few of the potatoes had begun sprouting tiny buds in a few places on the skin. The students made and recorded their observations. We shared some of our inferences about the water traveling through the inside and skin of the potato and helping new buds to form. The students also recorded predictions about what they might see on Day 14.
Day 14 is when we finally observed some real changes. Here are a few photos of our 2 week old potatoes--

Unfortunately, fender-benders and accidents can happen, and at these times car owners can turn into understandably flustered and confused. Indicators look like a style accessory, only used to confuse others or show how pretty their automotive is. They are rarely used for precise indication of an precise flip or if they're the driver can and will change their thoughts as to the route they will turn! A few of the popular automobile elements embrace fuel injection systems, superchargers, exhaust systems, or air intake programs. Car detailing is utilized by both automotive lovers to exhibit their pride at auto shows, or, by car dealers to get a greater price for their commerce in vehicles, or, by you, both for sheer delight, or, you need to get the perfect worth attainable in case you're pondering of promoting it or buying and selling it in.
You might not know this however skipping on needed automobile maintenance causes about eighty p.c of automobile associated problems, says James E. Duffy in Modern Automotive Technology. Body retailers have two options to bumper restore: repaint the entire bumper (if the paint is broken but it surely is not misshapen) or exchange it (if the bumper has been minimize, dented, or misshapen). The story below is a true one from one among my trips to a national automotive dealership and what I went by with them. Many drivers think that there isn't any hope if their insurance coverage firm says that their automotive is 'totaled.' A automotive that is totaled isn't essentially unrepairable though. Sorry you have got had a bad time driving in Saudi Arabia, I hope your automobile is fastened soon.
Some individuals have it of their thoughts the automotive won't ever be right again, and there isn't a lot you possibly can say to alter that. While some electrical cars may solely be fired with 3 times the overall AA, AAA batteries, C or D, electric vehicles use more intermediate and advanced electric motors with rechargeable battery packs that can be offered with or with out electric automotive physique. The sensory nerves and sense organs of the peripheral nervous system (PNS) monitor conditions inside and outside of the body and send this nformation to the CNS. Used auto parts may very well be your best choice by way of price-effectiveness and quality provided you select the right auto part on-line and buy it from a recognized vendor only. The physique painting he produced on her pores and skin was incredible, an underwater theme of fish, coral, mermaids, vegetation and the blue sea.
When finished properly the air goes within the freest direction and by doing this it pushes down the automobile and cools down the engine. Many nationwide auto parts stores provide their clients remanufactured elements, and even brand new options to Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) elements at lower costs. However these could be four-12 months BA(Hons) courses and after reading your weblog I'm beginning to fear that age will turn out to be a problem for me, so I recently discovered SPD's one-yr course in Car Design Tools and the subsequent Master in Car Design which feels like a quicker choice. The nervous system is the one which serves as the control and communication system of the body.
The impulse travels rapidly in a single course; every neuron disturbing the following one alongside the route of a sensory nerve until the part of the concerned organ or physique half is knowledgeable. Well positioned traces can suggest a lot, I purposely left the shading out of this as a result of I felt it important to show individuals about building as I really feel it is the most difficult part of drawing. One of the biggest benefits of utilizing thermoplastic car components is that they are light-weight. Unless you're prepared to shell out cash on car customization, you need not tread that path.

As it relates
to the play free bingo Allegan County casino, which has been announced to be constructed
by the Gun Lake Band in Dorr Township off of US 131, this project will
only become a reality after play free bingo the Gun Land Band enters a class III Tribal
State Gaming Compact with the state. In addition, the parcel of land
where the casino play free bingo is to be located will need to be taken into trust by
the federal government. If the state does not negotiate a compact with
the Band, then the Band may seek approval of its casino project directly
from the U.S. Secretary of Interior. However, play free bingo this process can take a
long time and requires the willingness of the Secretary of Interior to
approve the deal. So far, the new Secretary play free bingo of Interior has not seemed
inclined to force a compact on a state. In addition, the process to take
land into trust by the federal government can be onerous at best.
Therefore, although the Band has the federal tribal status which play
free bingo allows
it to move forward with a casino, it still must receive the okay of
state and federal governments. Thus, it would be difficult to provide a
time estimate on this project.
Along with
tribal play free bingo casinos, riverboat gambling has been a popular means of operating
a casino.
Illinois legalized gambling in 1990 and saw its first riverboat casino
open the next year. The state play free bingo currently has nine riverboat gaming
play free bingo
establishments that employ 11,000 people and generate $512 million in
tax revenues play free bingo each year. In Illinois, however, riverboats can be
permanently moored and need not leave the dock on scheduled cruises in
order for patrons to gamble. In states where play free bingo riverboat gambling is the
only legal form of casino gambling, the ability play free bingo to remain docked is an
important play free bingo factor. For starters, it allows patrons to come and go as they
please. People do not have to wait for a scheduled play free bingo cruise in order to
gamble, and they don't have to wait for the boat to dock in order to
leave. It is considerably more convenient for gamblers and play free
bingo operators
alike. Illinois has recently been discussing ideas about a possible
casino in the Rosemont area of Chicago, though recent disputes play free
bingo and
lawsuits have play free bingo not allowed these plans to come to fruition as of yet. It
is noteworthy, however, that there is active debate regarding further
play free bingo
expansion in the state.

New Delhi. A "civil society" member has proposed that all the polling booths in the country should have some sort of an idiot-detecting gadget installed at the entrance so that no idiot passes through it and casts his or her vote in favor of an undeserving candidate.
The member has further proposed setting up a joint drafting committee to design this gadget, which would be known as "mental detector".
"Most of the Indian voters are idiots. They support any candidate who can give them a 100-rupee note or a bottle of liquor. That's why people like Anna Hazare fear losing their deposit if they stand for elections," Nishant Bhushan, the civil society member argued, "We don't trust these people with good sense, and hence we must stop them from voting and corrupting the system further."
Mr. Bhushan said that in order to stop good people like Anna Hazare to go on fast again and again, a proper system needs to be in place that stops idiots from voting or having a say in policy formulation. For the same, he recommended designing and installing "mental detectors" at polling booths whenever an assembly or general election takes place next in India.
"I have a prototype of mental detector ready and I'm ready to have a discussion on its functioning with a few nominees from the government, but the key issue is that we must get this mental detector installed as soon as possible," Nishant Bhushan, also a lawyer by tradition profession, told Faking News in an exclusive interview.
Government is yet to respond to the suggestions of Mr. Bhushan, but former Samajwadi Party leader Amar Singh has rejected the proposal as "idiotic".
"Why doesn't Bhushan test himself with his mental detector first and share the results? And let him do that in public and not in presence of a few good friends," Amar Singh dared Bhushan.
Meanwhile sources suggest that while the government might agree to the formation of the joint drafting committee as demanded by Mr. Bhushan, the leaders are not too keen to get a powerful and accurate "mental detector" designed.
"They fear the consequences if such a gadget is installed at the entrance of Parliament and state assemblies," informed our source.

* Individuals may not invade the privacy of others by 'hovering' over them while they use the terminals. No more than two people may use a terminal at the same time.
* Individuals may not misrepresent themselves as another user or attempt to modify, gain access or reveal passwords or personally identifiable information belonging to others.

Failure to abide by these guidelines may result in the suspension or loss of Internet terminal and other Library privileges.

In last week's blog I wrote about being the recipient of the W.S Berger Award for outstanding contributions to the art of ventriloquism along with my partner Dan Willinger. We received this award for our website Ventriloquist Central.
Being honored in this way is a great honor to say the least. However, there's more to this than just the award. There's a bit of social proof here.
As I write this, Ventriloquist Central is arguably the largest information website dealing with the art of ventriloquism (and it's only five and a half years old). Within a year after creating the website, we were ranked on page one of Google. Plus, our Alexa rating (Alexa ranks top websites) is pretty darn good too (compared to other ventriloquism sites).
Since I'm the webmaster and marketer behind the site it's important to note that I've created a successful model for websites that works and has been proven.
How would YOU or YOUR business website like to be as successful in your niche or area, just like Ventriloquist Central is in the realm of ventriloquism? As I stated, this model works!
I have created this model and know the secrets to making it work. I can make it work for you and your business website.
If you want to have this type of success for your website, contact me and we'll talk about your situation. Even if you don't have a website, I can help you build one that will be successful in your niche.
Please let me know what I can do for you.
To Your Success,

'Fill 'er up' becomes the unlikely battle cry of Car Wars
STUFF : BUSINESS - STORY : New Zealand's leading news and information website
Now, you might assume governments will begin to act in the interests of consumers when oil supply fluctuations start to bite. After all, inflation's no good for anyone, is it? Perhaps. But there is also the possibility we're living through the early phases of something much bigger than just another temporary "crisis" and which history will record as a turning point.
And that's how we deal with the coming and predictable scarcity of fossil fuels.
You may have already heard of a thing called "Hubbert's peak". Hubbert was the geologist who (along with later analysts who revised his figures) more or less accurately predicted when global oil production would hit its maximum output – around 2006-2010. Once over this peak, with demand steadily outstripping supply, prices will inevitably climb. For a world obsessed with growth and globalisation, the potential consequences are dire – and a little harder to fix than by car pooling in the Auckland rush hour.

Recovering from divorce or a breakup is painful at the best of times. Even if your split is agreeable it can take time to work through finances, your emotions, and come out the other side. It's not uncommon for details to get missed and credit records or loan repayments to take a hit during the process.
It only takes one unpaid bill or missed loan repayment to impact your credit record. And if you're in the unfortunate position of facing multiple bills or a bad divorce; you may struggle to keep your credit record clean.
So you've lost the family home, you're down to one income, and your credit record is looking less than perfect and you need to buy a new home. For many providers you're not an ideal customer, but that doesn't mean you can't get a home loan.
RESIMAC have designed our products for real people with real needs.
In 2016 there were 8,169 divorces in New Zealand. With a median divorce age of 46.8 years for men and 44.4 years for women, it's fair to assume that a good percentage of these involved dividing up the family home.11Source: Statistics New Zealand
We're here to help you to move forward. We don't want you to get stressed about not being able to get a home loan: we'll work with you to make it happen. Let's start with 3 simple steps that will help you get set and begin the process of buying your own place.
3 steps to begin the process of buying your own place
Step 1. Review your money
Don't start by house hunting. You'll set yourself up for disappointment if you start shopping before you know what you can afford. Begin by understanding exactly where you are financially and review your budget for a clear idea of how much deposit you've got, your income, and your costs.
Step 2. Grab your credit record
Forewarned is forearmed so let's be upfront and check out your credit record. If it's feeling the side effects of the divorce we can help you to get things straight so you're good to borrow.
Step 3. What would you like to do next?
Your future is ahead of you and we'd like to help. Let's make some plans around where you would like to live, what size and type of home loan suits you, and how long you'd like to borrow for.
Your home is your priority now but in 20 years time you might be ready to retire. We'll help you to take a look at the bigger picture so your home loan suits your total finances.
See how easy that is? At RESIMAC we like to focus on what's possible and working with you to achieve your goals. Our Lending Specialists are here to help you work through each step and understand exactly what you can do.
We will help you move forward and achieve home ownership.

Take a deep breath as you grip your handlebars and prepare for your next Twin Cities Getaway Adventure. You will feel as if you're deep in the country. As this north metro community area borders the Mississippi River Trail it can be your personal playground when visiting. While in the area you can: stop and fish; play a round of disc golf; go birding; travel through a chain of lakes by bike or canoe; or explore one of the many parks. You can even satisfy your inner sports fan by visiting the National Sports Center, with a velodrome track.
The Twin Cities Gateway is made up of nine different bike-friendly communities: Anoka, Blaine, Coon Rapids, Fridley, Ham Lake, Lino Lakes, Mounds View, New Brighton, and Shoreview. All unique in their own way they all offering relaxed small town-type atmospheres with plenty to do, perfect for anyone looking to get away and only minutes from the big city.
For interesting articles about the many biking opportunities in the Twin Cities Gateway, visit our blog .
The Twin Cities Gateway is just a short drive, or an easy commute by bike from Minneapolis or St Paul. Another major feature is the Mississippi River Trail (MRT) following the rivers edge in three of the nine Getaway communities: Anoka; Coon Rapids; and Fridley. Plus the other six Gateway Cities have bike friendly roads and trails that lead to the MRT.
The trail starts at the headwaters at Lake Itasca in northern Minnesota and passes through the Twin Citities Gateway before flowing to the mouth of the river in Venice, Louisiana. While riding along the river you'll pass many opportunities for site-seeing, so make sure you camera is fully charged.
You can take the Rum River Regional Trail down to where it meets the MRT, maybe stopping in historic downtown Anoka along the way? There is also the scenic trails in Bunker Hills Regional Park offering heavily wooded and prairie flower landscapes. Or, take the thrilling Coon Creek Regional Trail that connects to the Coon Rapids Dam Regional Park and the MRT.
For a more extensive rides you can also explore the trails along the Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Park Reserve. Or, take the Rice Creek West Regional Trail back to the Mississippi River. This trail passes through Long Lake Park which has several trails that take you by the park's namesake and Rush Lake. Another option are the trails in the Vadnais-Snail Lakes Regional Park which is filled to the brim and full of beautiful scenery and its easy to switch from one trail to the next.

Centerville Segment (3.8 miles, Rating 3.5) This segment begins at 35E in historic Centerville. Paralleling Main Street (CR 14) all the while, it goes between Centerville and Peltier Lakes before curving north past the expansive marshes of George Watch Lake. It ends at 35W. The surrounding natural wonder of the Rice Lakes certainly is splendid, but other nearby trails can show you the same thing without the next to a road part.
Andover Segment (2.5 miles, Rating 1) This segment, running next to the dangerously busy County Road 116, is thoroughly unpleasant and doesn't lead much of anywhere. Oddly enough, it is the only segment with signage telling you that you are on the right trail, and it needs it the least.
Anoka Segment (1.8 miles, Rating 2.5) This segment begins at the corner of Seventh Avenue and Bunker Lake Blvd. (County Road 116), goes past a library and a wind turbine, then intersects with the Rum River Trail (which connects to downtown Anoka, to the south) before crossing the Rum River. From there, it enters River Bend Park, where it briefly curves away from the highway, before ending at Germanium Street in Ramsey. You can make a good ride using this and the Rum River Trail.
Ramsey Segment (1.2 miles, Rating 2) The Ramsey Segment of the trail runs next to County Road 116 from Tungsten Street to Hematite Street. Though the road is not nearly as busy here as it is in Andover, the fact that the trail is still next to the road is impossible to be ignored.

This stand-alone gem (it doesn't connect to any others, though it is near the Mississippi Trail) makes for a great quick ride. It begins just outside Coon Rapids Dam Regional Park, and follows Coon Creek upstream through Coon Rapids, crossing the creek countless times on numerous different kinds of bridges. Then, it curves east and follows Coon Creek's tributary, Sand Creek, to Foley Boulevard, with lots of ups and downs. The trail runs very near trailer parks and suburban homes, and yet stays very nicely forested. Highway noise, dangerous road crossings, and some small onroad sections make this trail less than perfect, but the pavement is smooth, and it is a scenic and entertaining ride.

This trail parallels Lexington Avenue from the Rice Creek North Trail to 125th Avenue. The sun-scorched trail stops at every light, so it's just like an off-street bike lane. It is interesting to see the slow transition from suburbs to cornfields.

The new Mississippi River Regional Trail offers unique experiences for bikers and hikers in Anoka County. It is one of a few trails that combines regional and local parks and attractions. The new trail offers a link from Coon Rapids Dam Regional Park through the cities of Coon Rapids, Fridley and Columbia Heights into the Minneapolis parkway system. Many points of interest are located along the trail corridor and are briefly described on the reverse side.
The Mississippi River Regional Trail connects with a variety of other regional trails in the north-metro area. At Coon Rapids Dam the trail crosses over the dam walkway and connects to the North Hennepin Regional Trail which leads to Elm Creek Park Reserve. To the south of the dam, you can connect to Rice Creek Regional Trail West which follows Rice Creek east through the City of Fridley. The southern end of the trail connects with the City of Minneapolis' St. Anthony Parkway system. North of the Coon Rapids Dam Regional Park, the trail continues to the City of Anoka.

Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Park Reserve, the second largest park in the metro, preserves a swath of wetland wilderness that cleaves Lino Lakes in two. Motorists have to go around the park, but bicyclists can head straight across on the main park trail, which connects Aqua Lane and the Rice Creek North Trail in the west with Centerville in the east. The beautiful wetlands here are home to all sorts of birds, and you'll catch sight of Marshan, Reshaunau, George Watch and Centerville Lakes along the way. Being flat, it's also good for beginners.

Southern Segment (3.2 miles, plus 2.2-mile loop, Rating 4) The Rice Creek North Trail's main trailhead is at 35W and County Road I. To the north, the trail follows the creek through Shoreview into Anoka County, with twists, curves, and spur trails left and right. This is one of the easiest trails in the metro to get lost on. Unfortunately, I mean that literally, so bring a map. The pavement condition is okay in Ramsey County, but very bumpy and cracky in Anoka County.
To the south, there is a new 2.2-mile loop in Arden Hills (the online maps still show it as proposed). Though it's not as curvy or shaded as the north part, it still adds something to the trail by showcasing a pretty section of creek from both sides. It's surprisingly pleasant for a trail in a decomposing ammunition plant, and includes the warm satisfaction only a loop can give.
Northern Segment (5.0 miles, Rating 5) This amazing segment winds through woods and marsh around the Rice Creek chain of lakes. These lands are not yet tamed by the trail, and the tranquility of it all makes you want to keep your voice down. Most turns are still unmarked.

Many portions of the trail travel immediately along Rice Creek, within the steep valleys of the floodplain. Since the trail corridor is only minutes from downtown Minneapolis/St. Paul, adjacent lands are developed residential and commercial. Some of the most interesting terrain and natural communities are located between Highway 47 and Central Avenue. Because the trail connects with the Mississippi River, many birds travel the creek on their seasonal migrations. During the spring and fall trail users may see eagles, herons, egrets, as well as loons, cormorants and pelicans.
What's At Rice Creek Many improvements have been made along the corridor recently. In 2000, safety along the trail was improved when an underpass along the trail at T.H. 65 was installed. Several portions of the trail were repaved during this time, as well. In 2000/2001 the picnic area at Locke County Park was completely redeveloped and new sections of trail were laid in 2006.
Trails A ribbon of paved trail travels through this linear park, stretching from the Banfill-Locke Center for the Arts (Manomin County Park) to the Ramsey County border. From there, the trail continues to Long Lake Regional Park. The four mile trail corridor in Anoka County travels through upland forest and lowland natural areas. There are a few steep slopes along the corridor, which require safe and alert trail use.
Trail Connections The Rice Creek West Regional Trail connects to the Mississippi River Regional Trail near East River Road. The Mississippi River Trail Corridor links with Coon Rapids Dam Regional Park (north five miles) and Riverfront Regional Park (south four miles). To the south, the trail continues to the Minneapolis Parkway System.

The Rum River Trail begins in downtown Anoka and follows the Rum River upstream to County Road 116. Though two small sections in downtown Anoka are on streets, these sections are short and the streets are bikeable even for beginners. Interpretive signs describe the history of the area. North of downtown, the trail is incredibly well maintained; it seems like it has been paved yesterday (and maybe it was). The trail follows the sharply winding river north through fields and forests. A wonderful ride.
