In Wisconsin's vision for RtI, the three essential elements of high quality instruction, balanced assessment, and collaboration systematically interact within a multi-level system of support to provide the structures to increase success for all students. Culturally responsive practices are central to an effective RtI system and are evident within each of the three essential elements. In a multi-level system of support, schools employ the three essential elements of RtI at varying levels of intensity based upon student responsiveness to instruction and intervention. These elements do not work in isolation. Rather, all components of the visual model inform and are impacted by the others; this relationship forms Wisconsin's vision for RtI.
For more in-depth information on Wisconsin's vision for RtI, please see Wisconsin Response to Intervention: a Guiding Document.
A brief webinar presentation on Wisconsin Response to Intervention.
The Wisconsin RtI Center (www.wisconsinrticenter.org) is a collaborative project between DPI and the twelve CESAs to provide high quality RtI professional development and technical assistance regionally throughout Wisconsin. The Wisconsin Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) Network (www.wisconsinpbisnetwork.org) operates within the RtI Center.
For Professional Development and Technical Assistance please visit the Wisconsin RtI Center and Wisconsin PBIS Network.
For information on Wisconsin's specific learning disabilities (SLD) eligibility criteria, please visit http://dpi.wi.gov/sped/program/specific-learning-disabilities.
Wisconsin's framework for Response to Intervention (RtI) was initially developed with input from stakeholders through the State Superintendent's Collaborative Council. As a result, RtI in Wisconsin has been defined thus:
RtI is a process for achieving higher levels of academic and behavioral success for all students through:
- High quality instructional practice
- Continuous review of student progress (multiple measures)
- Collaboration
Successful implementation of this framework in Wisconsin is based upon the following seven principles:
- RtI is for ALL children and ALL educators.
- RtI must support and provide value to effective practices.
- Success for RtI lies within the classroom through collaboration.
- RtI applies to both academics and behavior.
- RtI supports and provides value to the use of multiple assessments to inform instructional practices.
- RtI is something you do and not necessarily something you buy.
- RtI emerges from and supports research and evidence based practice.

The ugly trading Tuesday in mortgage real-estate investment trusts and the funds tracking them is something of a contrast to what's happening in closed-end funds, which just underscores the value of being diversified.
The selloff, as Mike Aneiro explains over at Barron's Income Investing, follows Sterne Agee's call for American Capital Agency Corp. (AGNC) to cut its quarterly dividend from 80 cents to 50 cents. AGNC's 8.6% slump is a driver of the 3.5% slide in iShares Mortgage Real Estate Capped ETF (REM) and Market Vectors Mortgage REIT Income ETF (MORT). Both ETFs are at two-week lows, reflecting glum investor opinion.
The broader Vanguard REIT Index ETF (VNQ) is down 1%. AGNC makes up 14% and 13%, respectively, of the first two ETFs.
Which is where CEFs may come in. At least for investors who are comfortable with an exposure that's nowhere near as precise (many won't even give you mREITs), the CEF idea is worth a look. Especially since so many are trading at unusual discounts to the underlying portfolios.
An example of a REIT-heavy CEF handling Tuesday's selloff somewhat better: Cohen & Steers Quality Income Realty (RQI),which owns Simon Property Group and Health Care REIT Inc., among others. This CEF is down 1% Tuesday. It trades at a roughly 9% discount and has a 6.87% distribution rate and is 27% leveraged, according to CEFConnect.
Neuberger Berman Real Estate (NRO), down 0.2% Tuesday, is trading near its widest discount all year, 14.6%. This owner of Ventas Inc., Starwood Property Trust and a bunch of other REITs and preferred stocks has a 5.1% distribution.
Again, they're not the same exposure. Which raises the question: Do you really want the mREIT exposure in the first place, or do you just want a juicy yield? If only the latter, look to CEFs.
Nuveen Real Estate Income Common (JRS), which leans heavily to REIT stocks and preferreds, was in the bargain bin briefly in late summer, but has since levitated back to an 8.5% premium.

Back Lewis for three-peat
Reece Killworth (Twitter: @reecekillworth) reckons Adrian Lewis can make it a hat-trick of titles at darts' Ladbrokes World Championship.
- Related Content
Christmas is coming - and that means only one thing for the darts fans amongst us: the Ladbrokes World Championship is here.
All roads lead to Ally Pally with the first major sports world title of 2013 up for grabs - even though we're still over a fortnight away from the end of 2012!
And there's no surprise to see Phil Taylor chalked up as favourite.
You can get 2/1 on 'The Power' making it 16 world titles on the first day of the new year, and that'll no doubt be close to a mortgage job for some.
As always, it's not too difficult to make a case to back Taylor.
Success in the World Cup, Premier League, World Matchplay, German Darts Championship, Championship League Darts and Players Championship Finals means he finishes the year with six top-level titles to his name.
And as is his wont, he's rattled in nine-darters and the usual amount of ridiculously high ton-plus averages along the way - as an example his 117.35 against Simon Whitlock was the highest in the Premier League's history.
The fact is Taylor remains the best player in the world - underlined by his continued status as World No 1 - and on his day he still takes all the beating.
Anyone wanting reasons to back him really shouldn't be reading this preview.
But it's certainly fair to say that across the course of a year he has come back to the field somewhat and as good as he remains I think some of the fear factor has gone - particularly for the new breed of players bursting through.
And the fact I can make a case against him even at 2/1 is telling.
As good as Taylor has been in general across the year, don't forget he exited here 12 months ago to Dave Chisnall in just the second round.
And he departed at the same stage of the World Grand Prix over in Dublin as recently as October, beaten on that occasion by Robert Thornton.
Why is that relevant? Well that's the other major event that is played over sets not legs, and it's that format that Taylor hasn't truly convinced in of late.
Yes, he won the Grand Prix last year, but that's the only time he's won a set-format major in five attempts, dating back to October 2010.
Two years ago, Mark Webster accounted for him in the quarter-finals here while his fellow Stokie Adrian Lewis ousted him at the 2010 GP.
And while plenty of players would give their right arm (albeit not literally!) to have such a record, it's got to be borne in mind for Taylor backers.
Taylor does at least have the chance to ease his way into this tournament and it'd be a HUGE surprise if he exits in either of the first two rounds this year.
But Thornton is a potential opponent in just the third round, while the likes of Chisnall and Whitlock could lie in wait further down the stretch.
As I've said on numerous occasions, Taylor remains the likeliest winner of the tournament and as such I'll swerve an outright bet in his half of the draw - but it's no banker for me and I don't need too much persuasion to look elsewhere.
My radar falls on Taylor's protege Adrian Lewis.
I can see why Michael van Gerwen has been installed as second-favourite on form as he's had a quite brilliant year but I think it's wrong to overlook the fact Lewis has gone course and distance here twice in successive years.
Van Gerwen exited in the first round two years ago but did at least win a couple of matches 12 months ago before exiting to Whitlock.
He's a better player now than then, of course, but - for all his brilliance in winning the World Grand Prix and reaching the Grand Slam final - it's worth recalling that his most recent major outing ended in a second-round exit.
The same goes for Lewis, granted, but losing to Taylor is less surprising than a defeat by Andy Hamilton, though that's not to talk 'The Hammer' down.
What Lewis has done in the last two years is produce his best at the worlds and that's a quality that simply cannot be underestimated.
Twelve months ago I wrote that 'Jackpot' hadn't kicked on in the manner people had hoped after securing his first world title at the 2011 renewal - and the same is certainly true one year on after his second.
He did at least win the World Cup with Taylor and the German Masters alone - but his performances at the televised majors haven't been up to the high standards he sets himself.
Lewis has proven he can peak for the big one, though, and the draw has certainly been kind to him in the early stages of the tournament this time.
Though there are talented players in his section and I could live to regret this, I don't see a real threat until a likely quarter-final clash with van Gerwen.
Of course, the Dutchman could be bang in form by then, but I think given his prior experiences on this stage, I'd still favour Lewis for that one.
And after that I don't see an opponent as good until the final. If Taylor makes it, Lewis has beaten him previously and won't show fear while there's obviously also the possibility that someone will take care of the great man along the way.
Unfortunately the 14/1 the sponsors laid early on Lewis has gone but 12/1 is too big for the two-time defending champion and he's my headline tip, with the insurance of backing each-way returning a tidy profit for a final appearance.
Elsewhere, after Kim Huybrechts rewarded my faith with his run to the Players Championship Finals, I was looking to get him onside again - he's 11/2 in the quarter betting and looked a decent each-way punt at 40s - but the sudden death of his father earlier this week has certainly affected my thinking.
As if we needed evidence, we've seen previously with Mervyn King and Gary Anderson how a family tragedy can affect a player on the oche and anyone thinking of backing Huybrechts should certainly bear the above in mind.
He's in the fourth quarter for those interested and with Taylor expected to come through Q1 and Lewis Q3, the other value bet looks to be in Q2.
Sure, he may be the market-leader in this particular field but Simon Whitlock has to be worth our support at 9/4 doesn't he?
The Australian has reached the semi-finals (at least) in two of his three appearances at Ally Pally, so is clearly a fan of playing at this venue.
He's also proved he's in decent nick by winning a major title - his first in the PDC - at the European Championship after previous final appearances in the World Cup, Premier League and Championship League earlier in the year.
There shouldn't be anything for the 'Beard to be Feared' to fear until at least the third-round stage here and Chisnall, his potential opponent at that stage, certainly hasn't matched the heights he achieved last year.
Anderson, Raymond van Barneveld and Brendan Dolan are all potential opponents down the line but it's fair to say all three have their flaws.
Anderson remains frustratingly inconsistent on the big stage, Barney has to prove his run at the Grand Slam wasn't just a one-off and Dolan, though probably the most consistent of the trio, has never past the second round here.
Whitlock should be shorter than 9/4 in my eyes, so we'll get involved.

Exclusive: Mark Townsend Dishes on Jennifer Lawrence's New Lob
Twitter and Instagram are in a frenzy with the news that Jennifer Lawrence has cut off her famously long locks. BAZAAR went straight to the source, celebrity stylist Mark Townsend, to get the exclusive story on her new 'do. His words below:
"Yesterday, Jennifer showed up an hour before call time and as she opened the door she was like 'Mark I want to cut it all off.' I was like 'What? Are we allowed to do that?' And she said 'Of course, it's my hair!'
She didn't want the conventional asymmetrical bob (shorter in the back, longer in the front). She wanted tons of layers—so we went with a full-on shag, with bangs and a lot of face-framing layers. I loosened up the ends by chopping into them with thinning shears. As I cut, I lost track of how many times she said 'I love it!' She was super excited. It's the shortest her hair has been her whole life."
Townsend also adds that it's the perfect cut as warm weather rolls in: "She doesn't have to worry about keeping frizz down. She can just rock her natural texture."
Follow Townsend on Twitter and Instagram @marktownsend1.

Hi I am glad to be your new friend. As your problem goes about your scrub tops, I think you should get a pattern for petites. If I was to adjust the pattern, take off from the mid front fold and the mid back fold, make sure that the v neck is not to deep and adjust accordingly. also adjust the width of the shoulders and the width of the arms. Do not forget to adjust the sleeves with the width of the arms. Then of course you adjuste the length of your garment. Hope this will help. If I was close by I could show you. Hope your study goes well and that you make it to become a NICU nurse.

Needle sticks are a possibility of both my work (surgeon) and my life (quilting). The ones from work are much more serious, as there is the built in hazard of transmission of HIV, hepatitis, etc. There is a good eMedicine article (Needle-stick Guideline by Brenda Cosens, RN) that covers the guidelines if a needle stick occurs. The best thing is to follow those universal prevention rules we have all been taught:
- Wash hands with soap and water before and after procedures.
- Use protective barriers such as gloves, gowns aprons, masks, goggles for direct contact with blood and other body fluids.
- Disinfect instruments and other contaminated equipment.
- Handle properly soiled linen. (Soiled linen should be handled as little as possible. Gloves and leak-proof bags should be used if necessary. Cleaning should occur outside patient areas, using detergent and hot water.)
- Use of new, single-use disposable injection equipment for all injections is highly recommended. Sterilizable injection should only be considered if single use equipment is not available and if the sterility can be documented with Time, Steam and Temperature indicators.
- Discard contaminated sharps immediately and without recapping in puncture and liquid proof containers that are closed, sealed and destroyed before completely full.
- Document the quality of the sterilization for all medical equipment used for percutaneous procedures.
The ones from quilting/sewing are more a nuisance leading to sore and then calloused fingertips. Yes, these are my fingertips from hand quilting recently.
If I were immunosuppressed, these could be more serious and lead to infections, such as a felon. There are thimbles that can help prevent these needle sticks, but you have to use them. I have never been good at using thimbles. I put one on and then promptly use the finger next to the protected one. It's as if the thimble and lack of sensation causes me to not use the protected finger. I have been able to use the leather thimble, but usually end up with a "hole" in it from repeated use in the same spot. So I just don't bother anymore. Here are three thimbles I own.
However, if you are a quilter or sewer who is on chemotherapy don't do as I do (and I will change my ways if I ever end up there). Either switch to machine quilting only or make yourself learn to use a thimble. Any small (used to be minor) skin injury whether from sewing or gardening or slicing vegetables in the kitchen can lead to infections that will require treatment.

My New Favorite ThingMy experience with flat irons ranges from Conair, Revlon, Maxiglide, Power IQ, Heatmaster, Andis, Hot Tools, CHI, Solia, and the FHI my stylist uses. I'm no novice, I have very difficult hair and I know quality. My reason for purchasing is I've had my beloved Solia 1 1/4 plate for 4 years now. I loved it and recently ordered the 1 3/4 because my hair is longer and I thought it'd work even better. Unfortunately, it seemed different than my other one. It felt cheaper and it didn't make straightening any easier so I returned it. This turned me off to ordering another 1 1/4. Several months later, after some research I decided to give Sedu a shot. First impression out of the box, this iron is really pretty - the pics on the site don't do it justice. The plates are this deep blue purple with multi-colored sparkles. The outside is black with a hint of the multi-colored sparkles. Love it. I chose the Diamond because it's the newest and I like the temperature control...my one gripe with my original Solia was the dial temp control. The label jumps from 360 to 450. 400 seems to be my perfect temp, but I could never quite tell if I was there or not until I started using it. With the Diamond, it's a digital control and I see exactly what temp I have it set at so there's no guessing.
My hair is very thick, there's a ton of it and it's varying levels of curl from kinky tight coils underneath to loosely curly on some places on top. I only had to pass each section 1 time and it was perfect - with my Solia, I could do MOST sections with 1 pass, but some areas would take more. Sedu is lighter and easier to maneuver. I worried the 1 inch plate would be too small for my hair (a little past my shoulders and growing it out) but it didn't take any longer than with the 1 1/4. I also felt like I had more control with curling it under. I ended up with more kinks with Solia trying to do this. But the thing that amazed me most is the shine and softness. My hair is like silk. I always thought my Solia got my hair soft - and it did - but this is unreal, better than when I have it done in the salon (professional blow out, Moroccan Oil Products, FHI flat iron). I have to consciously keep stopping myself from touching it. I'm waiting a bit to evaluate how it does damage-wise with my hair but so far I couldn't be more pleased. There's a reason these products are so highly rated. I'm a believer. :)Feb 6, 2014Leela J. / United StatesHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Dry Hair / Curly Hair / Color Treated Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair

Good For Sleek Look But Not For CurlingI'm a hairstylist, and this iron is great for curly hair for getting the sleek straight look but for curling it is just bad it snags on the hair and just doesn't curl smooth, I love the 1.5 sedu revolution iron it just makes such pretty curls but this one is soooooo bad, i love my GHD's wouldn't change them for anything they curl flip wave anything you want it does better then this diamond iron.Feb 5, 2014MayaHAIR TYPEMedium Brown / Color Treated Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair

FantabulousI exchanged my Lasio for this Sedu Revo. Daimond because of all the good reviews.
This product made my hair so straight without the frizz and dullness, and kept my hair healty looking with shine. I tried this on my daughter who owns a Babybliss and swore by that product and after doing her hair, she couldn't tell the difference between the two.

I Will Always Buy A Sedu!I originally had the 1" plate iron that was the feather light model. I loved that iron so much! Especially when I would need to do the back of my head. My arms would never get tired because it was so light and my hair was relaxed at the time so it kept it looking healthy. I was no longer afraid to do my own hair at home with this iron. I decided to go natural a few years ago and I stopped straightening my hair and gave it away. Big mistake; I had the idea to straighten my curly hair just to change up my look and decided to buy this one. It's not as light as the other model but it works just as well.
It's not super heavy but compared to the light-weight model I previously owned you can tell the difference. I'm African-American with natural 3c/4a hair and I love this iron. It's worth the investment for your hair.Jan 25, 2014Erica / MichiganHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Curly Hair / Fine or Thin Hair

"revolution"ary Flat IronHands down, this is the best flat iron I have ever owned! Straightens hair in a single pass, cutting down on my overall styling time. Excellent results even on the lower heat settings. My relaxed and color treated hair is smooth, shiny and soft - and looks better and healthier than ever. Flat iron heats up in 40 seconds, is light weight and has an extra long cord. It's worth every penny!Jan 13, 2014C L.HAIR TYPEBlack / Color Treated Hair / Relaxed Hair / Chemically Treated Hair

For many years I ordered Leading Lady #27-4171-8, Style 110 with built in shoulder pads which kept the straps from rolling. Even though both styles are very comfortable, the straps of this current style does roll.
This bra gives excellent fit with comfort.
It is very comfortable and fits great.
I had contacted Leading Lady to find the best size of this bra for my 38C bust. Ordered Large. Too small. Ordered XLarge. Still too small. Should have gotten the Leisure Bra where you order by size. Knowing how large women's breasts get during nursing, there's no way this bra will work. Maybe when you're weaning, but still.

|In response to Re: Can't find these
: These are not exactly plumbing problems, but hopefully there's enough remodoling experience around to help.
: I'm looking for two items that used to be popular and don't seem to be available any more.
: I think I want an electric cooktop with solid cast iron disk burners. These look like a good compromise between the ugly hard to clean calrod burners and the expensive hard to care for smooth units. I've never owned one of these. Is there mayby a good reason that they don't make them any more?
: I also think I want a built in cutting board or corelle insert in my kitchen counter. The cutting board fits into a cutout in the counter and has a stainless steel rim. The cutting boards used to be fairly commen in the early 70's and I know somebody made a similar unit with dupont correlle.(I may have the name of that material wrong, it's the stuff they make pots and baking dishes out of). Is there a reason they apparently don't make either of these anymore?
: If anyone knows where i might find either of these items , it would be greatly appretiated.
: Thanks,

Research Projects
Research Grant Program
Cleveland Metroparks is committed to the use of scientific information to guide conservation actions, and to that end, a Natural Resources Research and Monitoring Program was implemented.
The program's goal is to stimulate, initiate, and collaborate on research, monitoring, and assessment projects that provide reliable and defensible scientific information for the conservation, preservation, and management of natural resources and the impacts on those resources related to park visitation and the changed urban environment within Cleveland Metroparks and northeastern Ohio.
A permit is required for any research or collection activities conducted in Cleveland Metroparks (whether they visibly disturb the site or not). This includes but is not limited to plants or plant parts, soil and minerals, animals, insects, and water sample collections.
Permits are required prior to conducting research and monitoring projects within the boundaries of Cleveland Metroparks. Additional state and federal permits may be necessary depending on the scope of the project. For more information regarding permits and research options click here.
Rocky River Valley Bird Survey
The WCAS is continuing their survey of forest breeding birds to provide information about bird populations of the Rocky River watershed. After WCAS adopted the Rocky River Important Bird Area in 2005, it only seemed natural to them that they take an active role in monitoring the bird populations of the region.
Deer browsing can affect homeowners
as well as the natural resources in
Cleveland Metroparks.
Impact of Deer on Forest Floor Dynamics
In cooperation with Cleveland State University
The impact of deer on forest ecosystems is not a new phenomenon. In 1949,Aldo Leopold said that:
"… as a deer herd lives in mortal fear of its wolves, so does a mountain live in mortal fear of its deer…, for while a buck pulled down by wolves can be replaced in two or three years, a range pulled down by too many deer may fail of replacement in as many decades."
Deer over-browsing adversely affects plants, but high deer densities may also alter populations of other animals and insects. This study, initiated in 2006, compares areas with high and low deer densities to determine differences in vegetative composition and structure and how these attributes relate to the diversity and numbers of creatures inhabiting the forest floor.
Various trap designs have captured small mammals such as mice, shrews, voles, moles, chipmunks, and weasels as well as forest floor invertebrates including mites, centipedes, millipedes, and snails.
Preliminary results show that the number of tree seedlings and saplings, leaf litter depth, and soil moisture are good indicators of what mammals live on the forest floor.
Areas with high deer impact such as the Cuyahoga Valley National Park and Brecksville Reservation have lower numbers of under-story trees, less leaf litter, and dryer soils. In turn, these areas appear to have fewer small mammals and fewer invertebrates on which the small mammals feed.
Forest Vegetation Survey/Deer Impact and Recovery
A Cleveland Metroparks Natural Resources Division study
An intensive vegetation survey has been in progress since 2003 to provide data on plant species composition and structure in Cleveland Metroparks.
This survey is documenting the multitude of species found in Cleveland Metroparks including common uncommon grasses, forbs, shrubs, and trees.
Most importantly, periodic resurveys of the hundreds of plots scattered throughout the park district will reveal changes in plant composition and forest structure
Thus far, North Chagrin, South Chagrin, Bedford, Brecksville, Bradley Woods, West Creek and Rocky River Reservations have been included in this survey.
Blanding's Turtle Project
In cooperation with Cleveland Metroparks Zoo and John Carroll University
In 1999, a small population of the Blanding's turtles was found at the Ohio and Erie Canal Reservation. Blanding's turtles are listed as endangered or threatened in several states, and the Ohio Division of Wildlife lists them as a "Species of Special Concern" indicating that further loss in numbers could lead to higher protective status. Less than 10 populations occur naturally in Ohio.
In cooperation with the Zoo, a program was initiated to increase the OEC population as well as develop methods for potential reintroduction to other areas. For the past several years, work has centered on studying the biology of a population of Blanding's turtles at Sheldon Marsh, about 60 miles west of Cleveland, to learn more about this species biology. Turtles have been equipped with radio transmitters to track movements, allow recapture, and locate reproductively active females as part of a dietary and reproduction study. To view a recently completed Master's thesis on this study, click here.
Non-destructive sampling of recaptured turtles indicates that their diets consists primarily of snails but also include beetles, water bugs, fish, tadpoles, and crawfish. This is contrary to reports from other states that indicate a diet rich in crawfish. Observed nesting behavior also differs from other reports. Nests are shallower and the process takes longer, possibly because of the high silt and clay content and high compaction of the soils at Sheldon Marsh.
Newly hatched young at Sheldon Marsh are outfitted with transmitters to track movements and document predation. Young hatchlings also have been reared at the Zoo as part of a "head-starting" program to provide larger individuals for reintroduction at Ohio and Erie Canal Reservation in hopes of lowering rates of predation.
To date, over 30 individuals have been released at OEC, many with transmitters to follow their movements and survival. Several turtles have been recaptured five years after their release indicating that survival is good.
A Coyote Howling Survey
Cleveland State University researchers are studying ant diversity in northeastern Ohio.
In cooperation with Cleveland State University
A graduate student and volunteers are listening for coyotes in North Chagrin, Bedford, and West Creek reservations to learn more about the numbers and locations of coyotes in the Park District. Coyotes are present throughout northeastern Ohio, and they can be found (or heard) in nearly all Cleveland Metroparks reservations. Under strict guidance of Natural Resource Division staff, the student uses recorded calls to entice these animals to howl, thus giving away their approximate location and numbers. Using a geographical information system and aerial photography, the student is hoping estimate home ranges and population sizes in these reservations.
Coyotes have adapted easily to urban environments because of their varied diets and ability to construct dens or utilize human structures for homes. Coyotes are normally very wary of human beings. However, in urban areas there are less threats from hunting and trapping and more likely to associate people with an easy and dependable source for food. Under these circumstances, they can become very bold. They will visit homes regularly if food is regularly present. Coyotes have learned that pet food left outdoors and small dogs and cats are easy prey. Newspapers across the country have carried stories of coyotes harassing leashed dogs on walks with their owners in and near parks and golf courses within city limits. For additional coyote information, see our Featured Animal web page.
Forest Leaf Litter/Ant Diversity in Forests
In cooperation with Cleveland State University
Wetlands are mapped using sophisticated
GPS equipment to optain accurate
estimates of wetland size.
Ants are important predators of other insects, and they play important roles in seed dispersal and breakdown of organic matter.
Through a series of sample sites set up in, Huntington, Garfield Park, Bradley Woods, South Chagrin, North Chagrin, Hinckley, Bedford, and Brecksville reservations, scientists from Cleveland State areas evaluating the impacts of forest fragmentation on leaf-litter ant communities. The goal is to determine whether smaller forest patches have fewer ant species than larger ones and to document ant species occurring in NE Ohio. Preliminary analysis shows that species richness differs little among the sites with intermediate sized reservations having lower species numbers than either large or small reservations. Moreover, previously undocumented ant species have been found during the surveys. For more information click here.
Fragment size alone is apparently not a good indicator of ant species numbers, and other factors may play prominent roles.
Wetland Assessment
In 2005, staff began a wetland evaluation project to develop baseline data on wetland condition and quality using the Ohio Rapid Assessment Method. The assessment is based on wetland size, surrounding land use, hydrology, habitat alteration, special wetland designations, plant communities, and micro-topography. Scores (0-100) are then assigned with higher scores indicating higher quality wetlands.
The results, which to date include surveys of 274 wetlands, show that our wetlands include predominantly vernal pools, forested wetlands (swamps), emergent marshes, and wet meadows with bogs and fens absent presumably because of geologic history. Scores ranged from 13 for a wetland at Brookside Reservation to 87.7 for an exceptional, large wetland at Hinckley Reservation. Natural wetlands scored higher on average than created wetlands, and Hinckley Reservation had more high quality wetlands than other reservations because of its large size and protected watershed.
This information supports efforts to protect wetlands in large, less developed areas from further development and fragmentation, and challenges us to uncover strategies for enhancing natural wetlands in developed areas.
Starting in summer 2007, a focused study was initiated through Cleveland State University to collect additional floristic data in select wetlands from this project to determine whether wetland size or urbanization is a better predictor of total plant species richness and wetland quality.
Primary Headwater Stream Census
In cooperation with Cuyahoga Valley National Park
In 2003, using protocol developed by the Ohio EPA, Cleveland Metroparks began a census of primary headwater streams in the Park District. Similar evaluations are occurring in Cuyahoga Valley National Park. This project is collecting information on habitat features and aquatic life to classify stream quality using procedures developed by the Ohio EPA Division of Surface Water.
Primary headwaters serve as the origins of all larger streams and rivers. They play an essential role in watershed health by moderating flow from heavy rains, processing nutrients, and reducing sediment. These streams also provide habitat for some of Cleveland Metroparks most unique native flora and fauna in both their waters and in surrounding riparian habitat areas.
Unfortunately, headwater streams are subject to a wide variety of negative impacts caused mostly by urban and rural development including channelization, culverting, habitat destruction, and pollution. To date, Rocky River and Mill Stream Run reservations have been completed, and seasonal staff initiated sampling in Hinckley Reservation during 2008. A PDF version of a presentation on this project is available here.
Exotic European Wood Wasp (Sirex noctilio)
In cooperation with USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service
Trap used to capture Sirex wood wasp.
APHIS is conducting a small trapping program for Sirex wood wasp in Cleveland as well as other cities in the state. The wasp is often found in wood packing materials at ports-of-entry. However, in 2004 an individual wasp was discovered in a mixed species forest near Fulton, NY and additional specimens have been since found at additional locations in NY and PA. It prefers pine species, especially loblolly and Monterey pines.
To determine incidence only, APHIS will place Lindgren funnel traps (pictured right) within a 50 mile radius of the Port of Cleveland. Several traps will be located within Cleveland Metroparks. For additional information on the APHIS Sirex program click here.
Status of an Amphibian Fungal Disease in Northeastern Ohio
In cooperation with Cleveland Metroparks Zoo, Mount Union College, Cuyahoga Valley National Park, and Geauga Park District
In March, cooperators began a project to describe the host and geographic range of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) on amphibians in Northeastern Ohio. Bd is the fungal organism that causes an emerging infectious disease implicated as one cause of amphibian declines worldwide.
Bd has been found previously in field collected amphibians from northeast Ohio, and the possibility exists that the diverse amphibian population currently residing in our area resulted from a previous, unrecorded population decline that took place sometime after the initial introduction of Bd to the area. Moreover, wetlands in Ohio have been subjected to large disturbances for the last 150 years. Intensive agriculture, mining, and industry along with an ever increasing human population have had significant impact on wildlife species including amphibians.
Since Bd is present, this study will help determine if it is widespread or limited in occurrence. If widespread, the amphibian species remaining in the region are likely resistant to the lethal effects of this pathogen. However, if Bd is only present in limited locations or species, the amphibian populations of this region may still be in danger of declines.
Volunteers and staff from Cleveland Metroparks and Geauga Park District are following strict protocol to collect skin swabs from local amphibian species in pond, wetland, and stream. Environmental data including habitat type, water depth, and temperature, and animal data including length, sex, and breeding condition are collected at each site.
Mount Union College faculty and students are using a tool called quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) to analyze DNA from the skin swabs to determine the presence or absence of the fungus. After the appropriate permits were obtained, extensive sampling occurred from April through October in forested vernal pools, semi-permanent ponds and streams across the northeast Ohio region.
Frogs, toads, and mole salamanders (Ambystomatidae) at various stages of maturity comprise the majority of amphibians sampled from April to May. From mid-May through July, several sites were re-sampled, and several streams and riparian areas were sampled in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park and Cleveland Metroparks. Lungless salamanders (Plethodontidae) dominated these habitats. Of special interest was a longtail salamander (Eurycea longicauda) sampled at a site in Medina County.
The analysis of samples has just started, and results will be posted when available.
The Impact of Deer Browsing and Flowering Plant Abundance on the Reproductive Success of Mayapple
In cooperation with Baldwin-Wallace College
Mayapple is an herb that grows in forests throughout the Midwest. It is pollinated by a variety of bees. As forests have been cleared and converted to other uses, there has been growing concern that pollinator populations would decline.
In a previous study, scientists at Baldwin-Wallace College compared 3 areas across northern Ohio in which forest cover varied from more than 50% (Lake County), to 15-20% (Lorain County), to less than 10% (Henry County). The decline in forest cover corresponded to an increase in the intensity of row crop agriculture across these counties. Instead of revealing a relatively low rate of pollination and fruit production in Henry County, the Baldwin Wallace Study found that Henry County plants had the highest rate of pollination and fruit production.
The absence of the predicted relationship among deforestation, agriculture and mayapple reproductive success leaves unanswered the question of what, in fact, controls variation in mayapple reproduction. One factor that may influence reproductive success is the density of other flowering plants in the vicinity of mayapple. Mayapple does not produce nectar and does not attract large numbers of insects. Other plants growing in the vicinity of mayapple may produce nectar and attract insects that then inadvertently visit and pollinate mayapple flowers.
In 2006, study results showed that the Henry County sites had a higher density of flowering, non-mayapple plants than the Lake County sites. This difference could be caused by the impact of deer browsing. In Henry County, deer can focus their browsing on crop and forage plants that are often very high in mineral content from crop fertilization. In Lake County, deer may have fewer options because of more extensive forest cover and much less agriculture. In Cleveland Metroparks, our vegetation survey has demonstrated that excessive browsing by deer can eliminate forest herb populations.
In spring 2008, Baldwin Wallace faculty and undergraduate students began an examination of the combined impact of deer browsing and the availability of non-mayapple magnet plants on the pollination and fruit production of mayapple in Cleveland Metroparks. Observations indicate that substantial variation in deer browsing exists, and in areas of high deer impact, mayapple actually seems to thrive given a low preference for browsing by deer. Because the researchers can identify mayapple populations in areas of both relatively high and low deer impact, they will be able to compare pollination and fruit production levels as a function of deer impact and specifically in terms of the density of flowering plants that might attract pollinators.
Cleveland Metroparks has partnered with researchers at Michigan State University to launch a long-term urban wildlife project throughout the Metroparks system. Collaboratively, we have deployed more than 100 camera traps that non-invasively sample wildlife populations by taking pictures of animals as they trigger the cameras by their motion and body heat. With this data, we seek to understand the distribution and abundance of wildlife throughout the park system. Our findings will help us understand interactions among the abundant animal life within the reservations to facilitate ongoing management and conservation efforts focused on these species. The camera traps are intended to capture photographs of animal wildlife in open fields on land accessible to all members of the public.

Chicken Kisses
One of my favorite dinners. Alyssa (my 12yr old) usually chooses this as her birthday dinner every year. It's so perfect on a fall evening, very filling and quite delish too! Thank you to Aunt Sandy for sharing this recipe with me many many years ago! I don't think I have changed it much.
Michael is a little (okay A LOT) anti-creamy. I usually use half the amount of cream cheese called for in this recipe, but for this dinner? I went all the way. And it went all the way to my thighs. You could easily though use less fat cream cheese, if it makes you feel better.
Easy Chicken Kisses
Yield: 8
- 4 cup cooked, diced chicken (use a Rotisserie for an even quicker dinner)
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 4 Tbsp butter, softened
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 Tbsp minced onion
- 2 package Pillsbury crescent rolls
- 1 jar Heinz chicken gravy, warmed
- Mix chicken, cream cheese, butter, spices, milk and onion in bowl.
- Unroll crescents and using two crescent rolls at a time (to form a rectangle) fill with stuffing. Pinch up the corners (makes 8 packets).
- Bake at 375 for about 15-20 minutes. Serve with warmed gravy! Enjoy!

Man oh man are these flats pretty!
"The color of these flats I just adore. The color is so soft and just amazing. They run a bit narrow and I already know how they will feel once I start wearing them because I have a couple other Steve Madden Heaven flats --- they will make your feet sore and blistered the first multiple wears and the inner lining will peel. I urge you to put band-aids at the back of your feet to try to prevent that burn you will feel after your first couple times wearing them. All in all, these are soooooooo cute and a definite must-have."

A little different from other SM Heaven flats
"I love SM Heaven Patent flats. They're pretty much my favorite shoes ever, and I have pairs in five different colors. The latest edition to my collection are the mint green ones. Although they are fabulous, they do feel differently to me from the other pairs. The upper seems stiffer somehow, and they're also looser. I typically have to size up a half size in these flats. I did the same when I ordered these online, but I really should've gone for my more typical 8.0 instead of the 8.5. Now they're sold out, so I can't exchange them, but I like them too much to just return them. They seem like they'll do all right for me with a bit of cotton in the toe."

Thank you for joining us this afternoon.
We have some new product news we're eager to share with you. However, to set the stage properly, I want to briefly discuss the state of Acura business today. As you may be aware, Acura set a new all-time sales record in 2004, selling almost 199,000 vehicles in 2004, a 16% gain over 2003. This success was due in part to the introduction of the new RL with Super-Handling All-Wheel-Drive and the strength of other Acura models. For anyone who might have missed it, the Acura TL is now the best-selling luxury sedan in the U.S. These record-setting sales are the direct result of our focus on four brand-defining values for Acura: styling, performance, technology and craftsmanship.
These four principles have guided us well in the complete transformation of our sedan line. Our sedan overhaul began with the all-new TSX in the spring of 2003, followed by the TL later that fall, and lastly, the all-new RL this past fall. Each of these models demonstrates our commitment to distinctive design ... and groundbreaking technology. With the successful renewal of our sedan line-up, we're now focused on the next generation of Acura sport-utility vehicles.
Our MDX has been a growing success for Acura since its launch in 2001. With continuous product enhancements, we've increased sales each year since launch. Today, however, we would like to talk to you about an all-new Acura SUV, positioned below the MDX. In 2002, we unveiled an early design study for this SUV. Today, I'd like to show you a more advanced concept - one that comes closer to the production vehicle that will arrive in the '06 calendar year.
This vehicle was created with a specific customer in mind. A customer who works in a creative field, and who enjoys an active lifestyle. This new Acura SUV is created to put a wide range of possibilities right at his fingertips. Let's take a look.
"Ladies and Gentlemen ... the RD-X Concept from Acura."
The RD-X Concept was created to provide full-access to everything that's important to the driver. Let's begin by talking about the confident connection it provides to the road, and the excitement of driving. The RD-X is built on an all-new light-truck platform. It's seven inches shorter than the MDX, which gives it greater agility. Importantly, the RD-X features our Advanced Compatibility Engineering body structure, which provides added protection in collisions. We're not yet prepared to discuss the powerplant in the RD-X. But I can tell you the engine will produce more than 200 hp ... and that it will be coupled to Acura's Super-Handling All-Wheel-Drive System, which ensures responsive handling ... and helps the driver maintain precise control in all weather conditions. 19" wheels and tires provide both grip and strong stopping power as do the large Brembo brakes.
Inside the RD-X, our designers created a dynamic and sophisticated environment. The floors are trimmed in polished rosewood to provide a rich, warm feel.
Another architectural touch is the indirect lighting throughout the cabin. This space is seamlessly integrated with a driver-oriented cockpit ... featuring a distinctive six-spoke steering wheel and ...paddle shift system ...a three-pod instrument cluster...and front bucket seats that are closely spaced, rally-car style, for better communication between driver and passenger. Between the front seats, there's storage for a custom-fitted briefcase.
From the driver's seat you have a commanding view of your surroundings. Another innovation is our wiper-less and heated windshield. During rain, jets of air keep the windshield clear. Cameras take the place of side-view mirrors ... and give a more complete picture of the lanes beside you.
The RD-X features an advanced version of our AcuraLink Navigation System - with a simple, multi-function controller that moves from in-car comfort controls, to an array of information and entertainment options. You can find movies and starting times ... Restaurant reviews and locations and concert information. And once you decide, you can quickly find the fastest way to your destination. The RD-X features AcuraLink, our Satellite-linked communication system that displays Real-Time Traffic conditions as part of the Navigation function.
Of course, for the youthful driver, music is vital. So in addition to XM Satellite Radio, the RD-X includes an integrated hard-drive, where he or she can upload, sort and access an entire personal library of music. Rather than being hidden away, the nine audio speakers are an integrated part of its design. Finally, the interior offers ample, flexible cargo space for all recreation, home and work projects.
The RD-X demonstrates our commitment to the qualities that set Acura apart:
o Styling
o Performance
o Technology
o Craftsmanship
The production version of the RD-X will be manufactured at our plant in Marysville, Ohio and will arrive in dealerships in 2006. We feel it will be a powerful and distinctly new competitor to both European and Asian luxury SUVs, and will provide Acura with an even stronger line-up of automobiles and light trucks.
Now, I'd like to invite you to take a closer look at the RD-X Concept. I, and members of the RD-X design team will be around to answer any questions you may have.
Thank you for joining us!

The Laboratory
Looking for a lab that coordinates with this page? Try the Dune Buggy Challenge Lab from The Laboratory.
vf = g * t
(dropped from rest)
where g is the acceleration of gravity. The value for g on Earth is 9.8 m/s/s. The above equation can be used to calculate the velocity of the object after any given amount of time when dropped from rest. Example calculations for the velocity of a free-falling object after six and eight seconds are shown below.
Example Calculations:
At t = 6 s
vf = (9.8 m/s2) * (6 s) = 58.8 m/s
At t = 8 s
vf = (9.8 m/s2) * (8 s) = 78.4 m/s
The distance that a free-falling object has fallen from a position of rest is also dependent upon the time of fall. This distance can be computed by use of a formula; the distance fallen after a time of t seconds is given by the formula.
d = 0.5 * g * t2
(dropped from rest)
where g is the acceleration of gravity (9.8 m/s/s on Earth). Example calculations for the distance fallen by a free-falling object after one and two seconds are shown below.
At t = 1 s
d = (0.5) * (9.8 m/s2) * (1 s)2 = 4.9 m
At t = 2 s
d = (0.5) * (9.8 m/s2) * (2 s)2 = 19.6 m
At t = 5 s
d = (0.5) * (9.8 m/s2) * (5 s)2 = 123 m
(rounded from 122.5 m)
The diagram below (not drawn to scale) shows the results of several distance calculations for a free-falling object dropped from a position of rest.

Skip to comments.Obama wants $35 billion for teachers, first-responders first
Posted on 10/16/2011 12:51:26 PM PDT by jazusamo
President Obama is returning to the road this week to press Congress to start passing the American Jobs Act, beginning with $35 billion for states to put teachers and first-responders to work.
But White House officials said Sunday that Obama will not be sending a separate piece of legislation to Congress, referring questions about the process to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) and House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio).
White House spokesman Josh Earnest said that Congress has a jump-start in producing legislative language because Obama submitted the American Jobs Act with the provisions contained within.
Obama will implement the full-court press on the pieces of the jobs act as he embarks on another bus tour, this time hitting the critical battleground states of North Carolina and Virginia, two states Obama won in 2008 that are essential to his reelection strategy.
Earnest said that neither state was selected for its political importance, though he acknowledged if House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) gets the message from his home state that voters want the jobs bill passed immediately, then a "top priority of the trip will have been accomplished."
With the full $447 billion jobs bill suffering defeat in the Senate, Obama and his aides are moving to a second phase, publicly pushing for passage of the bill piece by piece.
The first piece Obama wants is $35 billion in aid for states to prevent the laying off of or support increased hiring of teachers, police officers and fire fighters, Earnest said.
While neither the trip nor the call for passing the jobs bill is new, the bus tour represents the first time Obama will be addressing crowds outside of Washington since the Occupy Wall Street movement gained momentum.
Reports over the weekend said that the Obama campaign is looking to capitalize on the movement, and Earnest's remarks on a conference call Sunday seemed to support those reports.
Earnest said that as Obama travels this week, the president will "continue to acknowledge the frustration that he himself shares" with Wall Street.
And using the popular refrain from the Occupy crowds, Earnest said that Obama will ensure the interests of 99 percent of Americans is well represented
At the end of the trip, Earnest said, "the message will be clear: Pass the bill this week to protect the job of a North Carolina teacher, or come down here, look her in the eye and explain to her why protecting" tax cuts for the wealthy is more important than passing the jobs bill.
Earnest has learned well from his boss, the Liar-In-Chief.
Obama also wants the first $35 billion for unionized teachers and first responders. The jobs bill is just a campaign tool for Obama.
I see that Obama is still trying to balance the budget.
And still doing it wrong.
FUBO!! Read and heed the US Constitution, dufus!!
this road trip is just fund raiser(on tax payer dime) for him
It's a tax bill. After the first year, the states will have to pay for everything.
This President just can't stop himself from spending our money....Oh and if you don't pass the bill you hate schoolchildren and want people to die in the streets(at least that's what the media will say)
Another slush fund...
Exactly. I can hear Dingy Harry and Pelosi blubbering on the Senate and House floor, wiping tears from their eyes saying that very thing.
If we need THIRTY FIVE BILLION!!!!!! for "teachers" and "first responders", we obviously don't need "teachers" and "first responders". You can bet that the majority of that money will be going towards the pensions of those who do nothing these days but sit around on their asses.
"If you won't give me $500 BILLION, I'll settle for $37 Billion. Wah, wah, wah."
"Daddy, if you won't buy me the Saleen Mustang, how about a Honda Accord?"
Not one more dime to commie pubic school teachers!
Of course - Obama wants union and government at the head of the line. everyone else wait your turn for your government handout
President Obama is returning to the road this week to press Congress to start passing the American Jobs Act, beginning with $35 billion for states to put teachers and first-responders to work."
Doing what?
Not sure I've heard of a teacher shortage, and where the 35 billion to fund first-responders is going to come from, or who will pay for it once the money dries up.
Obama sure is an old smoothie.
Those are state/local issues, but I suppose most sheeple will scream in agreement with this very important piece of propaganda.
Screw it, make it 35-Trillion. Yes we can.
Why didn't he give to them 3 years ago when he had 900 billion?
Play his game. Bring the infrastructure elements up first. What's more important, keeping bridges from collapsing or reducing c;ass size from 21 to 19?
Tax cuts for the wealthy, do the math not enough there to support the weight of debt he has put upon us and will do in the future. And yet he still has mindless fools following him like the pied piper.
Is it really any wonder that the very first piece that he broke out of his "jobs" bill is directed at only those jobs that have unions? Not to mention the fact that the jobs he is talking about are local/state responsibility.
It is not $35 billion to "education" and "first responders".
It is $35 billion to the education industrial establishment and other segments of government employees' unions. That's the purpose of the $35 billion, not "education" or "public safety".
It will also contain strings tying acceptance of the funds to locals' adoption of policies in line with the WH political agendas in education and in local government hiring policies.
How many RINOs will recognize this and say so??
He had to pay his friends and bankers first.
Now he wants to make friends of teachers and first responders. He's just a friendly guy, y'know.
You pay off your thugs first.
cops and firemen will provide the heavies to bust the necessary heads. The teachers will be the human shields.
Opponents will be arrested by cops and bogged down/bankrupted in the judicial system.
it's taxpayers against government employees. It was always going to be this way.
As as teacher, FUBO!
The MONEY-P!SSER-AWAYER-IN-CHIEF at work for the American people. WADDA JOKE!!
Heck, why not 50 billion, uhbamy? Or 100 billion? Where'd ya get your numbers from this time-a poll, a union whore, bill ayers?
Uhbama only gives where he benefits.
He is a smelly, angry, shallow human being with a chip on his shoulder that matches the size of his destructive ego.
Thank you ABC, NC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC etc., for delivering this inept piece of filth into our oval office. A creep who BEGAN his career in politics in the LIVING ROOM of a terrorist who tried to kill NY policemen and got off on a technicality-bill ayers the slob. Thanks MSM for the total LACK of vetting you did because of your own orgasmic feelings for that black/white prig.
Since WHEN did teachers start being paid by the FEDERAL GOVT????? When is someone on our side going to point this out???
They also eat lots of donuts and take many vacations.
Unbelievable that a POTUS would suggest using Federal taxpayer funds to pay salaries for state and local government employees, and that nobody has put a straight jacket on him yet.
Ubanga wants more money to prop up public union pensions and other socialist bloat.
Surprise surprise.
...beginning with $35 billion for states to put teachers and first-responders to work.Well, not to work, just give them pay. Some of these teachers and first-responders won't be just imaginary (like Democrat voters in Chicago) as part of Zero's ongoing money laundering scams.
