|In response to Re: Clogged Shower/Sink drain
: I have a shower drain and sink drain that eventually feed into the same drain that goes into the ground. It is clogged pretty bad. Water will still drain but very slow. I have used a small snake. I have used the Liquid Plumber foam cleaner. Neither has worked. A friend suggested using Liquid Heat. He says that he has used it in the past, and it worked great with no harm to the pipes. What are some your opinions on using this stuff? Thanks.
Kevin, If the stoppage was above groung i would try it but the stoppage being below ground may require a good electric sewer machine to get this line cleaned.You may waste money on chemicals trying to clean this line ,but It is a pretty good bet the machine will clear it. I have used a sewer machine first then a bacterior type drain cleaner that will continue to keep the line clean. I have had the best results with Thrift. Read instructions FIRST. Wear safty glasses.

By Lou SanseveroFerron
Recently I read an interesting article with the intriguing title of "There are no illegal aliens in Missouri." While the debate rages between the enforcement only and amnesty only factions of the illegal alien issue and while Utah became the nation's first "sanctuary state" the people of the "show me" state have "shown us" the way with a common sense, economic, and effective approach...they simply pulled in the "welcome mat" and "slammed the door" in the faces of illegal aliens (Missouri SB858).
How you may ask, well while we in Utah felt it was important to have an official handgun, Missouri declared, through a constitutional amendment, that English was its official language and passed laws requiring all government activity to be conducted only in English and that no individual had a right to demand government services in any other language. In other words all state applications, licensing exams, documents, and pamphlets are produced in English only...if you can't read and understand English that's your problem.
Under federal law, unlawfully present aliens are not eligible for state or local public benefits so while Utah pondered how best to provide these benefits to illegal aliens, Missouri passed laws stating that applicants for benefits shall provide proof of citizenship, residency, or lawful presence in order to receive benefits.
While Utah debated punishment for public employees who exposed illegal aliens applying for public benefits, Missouri passed a law that bared government entities, political subdivisions, and government officials from interfering with any communication with the federal government regarding the citizenship or immigration status of any individual and which says that the state shall not fund government entities, agencies, or political subdivisions that have policies that would interfere with such communications.
While Utah proudly became the nation's first state to offer a special class of driver's licenses for illegal aliens, Missouri's Department of Revenue was ordered not to issue any driver's licenses to illegal aliens nor to persons who cannot prove lawful presence and that a driver's license issued to an illegal alien in another state shall not be honored by the state of Missouri and the Department of Revenue for any purpose.
While the question of enforcing Federal immigration law was politicized in Utah, the Missouri Highway Patrol entered into a memorandum of understanding with the federal government to have members trained to enforce federal immigration laws and are required, along with other law enforcement officials in the state, to verify the immigration status of any person arrested, and inform federal authorities if the person is found to be in Missouri illegally.
While the chief of police of Salt Lake City and the Utah Attorney General balked at enforcing immigration laws, virtually giving illegal aliens sanctuary, Missouri municipalities were barred from adopting policies designed to give aliens sanctuary when they are present in violation of federal immigration laws. Those municipalities that adopt sanctuary policies are ineligible for any grants provided by the state.
While the Utah legislature debated how much to charge illegal aliens attending Utah state funded colleges and universities, Missouri barred illegal aliens from enrolling in all public universities in the state and those institutions were required to annually certify that they have not knowingly enrolled any aliens unlawfully present in United States in the preceding year.
While Utah passed a cynical, flawed, and virtually toothless "Guest Worker" law, Missouri employers were barred from employing illegal aliens period. Violators are subject to the suspension of their business permits and licenses or exemptions. In order to correct the violation and have permits and licenses reinstated, the employers need to terminate the employment of the alien or request a second verification of the alien's status from the federal government, sign a sworn affidavit stating that the violation has ended, and submit documentation confirming the entity is enrolled in a federal work authorization program.
Violators who were under contract with the state were to have their contracts voided and are barred from contracting with the state for three years. Subsequent violations result in a void contract and a permanent bar from contracting with the state.
Missouri did all these things and, the last time I checked, still exists... there is still produce in its grocery stores, lawns are still being mowed, gardens are still tended, fast food is still being served, and hotel rooms are still being cleaned and their beds still being made up. In short all "the jobs Americans won't do" are being done in Missouri. In addition, tourists still visit Missouri.
Whether or not there really are "no" illegal aliens in Missouri I can't say but it seems to me that the approach Missouri is taking, making Missouri an environment which is decidedly illegal alien unfriendly is an economic, common sense approach to the illegal alien problem that works.
I believe Utah should adopt similar policies and, like Missouri, "pull in the welcome mat" and "slam the door" in the faces of potential illegal aliens contemplating entering Utah and give those already here "strong inducements" to leave Utah voluntarily for more illegal alien friendly states.
Governor Herbert abandon your support of the cynical and flawed "Guest Worker" law, support its repeal and support a proactive, logical approach such as Missouri's for resolving the horrific problem created by illegal aliens in Utah.

Snooki Sluts Up an 11-Year-Old
[There was a video here]
Doing publicity for Snooki is a pretty straightforward. You put her in a vaguely inappropriate context, aim a camera at her, then wait for media outlets to stumble into your trap. Example: Snooki making over an 11-year-old.
Because the only thing that makes polite society gasp with more titillated horror than Snooki herself does, is little girls in age-inappropriate costume.
"You're never to young to be bangin'," MTV's orange-skinned mascot for classlessness purrs as she approaches a confused schoolgirl with a tub of bronzer. And just like that, one of Jersey Shore's formerly counterintuitive conceits—that "feeding the trolls" is a viable business strategy—became boilerplate PR. [Video via AOLNews]

Zoom Critter Craw
Crawfish are a major food source for bass, and at certain times of the year bass really key on them. The Zoom Critter Craws feature an extremely life-like shape and profile, and the super soft plastic Zoom uses makes the appendages extremely active in the water. The salt impregnated into the soft plastic itself also causes bass to hold on longer once they bite - for more positive hooksets.
Great for Texas- or Carolina-rigging, or as jig trailer, the Zoom Critter Craws work just as well for dragging along the bottom as they do for flipping and pitching. Available in two sizes, the 5" Big Critter Craw and the 3" Lil' Critter Craw, they also come in a variety of colors to vary your presentation. Zoom Baits have been a favorite of tournament anglers for a reason - because they work.

Comments: this is one of the best craw worms that you can use. I use the big critter craw all year long. In the spring it is money! Use it Texas rigged or on a Jig. Big bass crush it. Best price you will find for an awesome craw.
From: Roger: Lafayette, LA 5/30/14
Comments: I love the small ones as a jig trailer. Very realistic and give a very good defensive posture for the jig. I love the black/blue and the green pumpkin blue.
From: Jim: Woodstock, GA
Comments: You don't mess with the Critter Craw! I love the 3inch model on a weighted 2/0 hook. You just drag in on the bottom and weight for bass to slurp it up. I use the Rootbeer Pepper green for largemouth and Watermelon for some monster smallmouth.

Massachusetts education officials are recommending that the Board of Education approve five new charter schools across the state and expand eleven existing programs. That could mean another alternative high school for one rural Massachusetts town.
The Pioneer Valley Chinese Immersion Charter School in Hadley has been adding one grade per year over the past six years. They now serve kindergarten through eighth grade students. But the school's executive director — Richard Alcorn — says since it opened in 2007, one major concern parents have had is where kids will go once they reach ninth grade.
"Whether the kids wouldn't in a sense fall off a cliff. They would have years of immersion language training and then there would be no program for them to continue in."
Alcorn says if the expansion request is approved, the immersion school would introduce a rigorous International Baccalaureate high school curriculum. He says the school would eventually educate 584 students, up from 300 — which he says would require buying another building. Charter school facilities are funded in part by money the school receives from the state. But Alcorn says he expects some help from an unexpected source, the US Department of Agriculture. USDA rural development grants helped the school buy and expand the building it's in now.
"Part of the reason the federal government was interested in our school is that most immersion, most Chinese immersion programs are located in cities. And we're sort of unusual in that we are able to serve a rural population."
The expansion requires approval by the state Board of Education, which is due to meet next week. If approved, Alcorn says the program will be the first K-12 Chinese immersion charter school in the US.

West Allis - The long-hoped-for crosstown connector bike and pedestrian hasn't crossed into oblivion just yet.
Hope for the trail re-emerged recently thanks the planned widening of Interstate 894. The Wisconsin Department of Transportation indicated that when it rebuilds the freeway bridge over the Union Pacific Railroad tracks, it could make the bridge wide enough for the trail.
That would enable the east-west trail to swing north a bit and pick up 92nd Street, which has a bridge over the tracks, said Peter Daniels, West Allis principal engineer.
From there, the trail could head east again, eventually connecting with the Hank Aaron Trail at about 56th and Mineral streets. At least, that's the leading option the city is now considering, Daniels said.
The long trail
The city began planning for a crosstown trail several years ago, as part of an idea which envisioned not only a local benefit for hikers and bikers, but for trail users literally stretching across the state.
The off-road trail - on a former interurban train route from approximately 92nd Street west to 124th Street - would enable trail users to get to Lake Michigan via the Hank Aaron State Trail to the east and to near Madison via the New Berlin Recreation Trail and Glacial Drumlin State Trail to the west, with further connections as far as the Mississippi River.
It would also provide an off-road connection to the on-road, off-road Oak Leaf Trail through the Milwaukee metropolitan area.
But when the idea began to take shape, the trail soon ran into a roadblock.
Crossing over
To date, what has stopped the trail is the Union Pacific Railroad's refusal to give permission for the trail to cross its tracks.
Though stating that the railroad's safety objections are groundless, city officials continued to search for a way for the trail to get through.
The wider I-894 bridge option would mean the city would only need railroad approval of crossing a little-used spur line that stretches into Waukesha, where it terminates. Daniels was optimistic about getting railroad approval for that crossing. (The more heavily used double track that the Union Pacific doesn't want people crossing is a line that goes out to Butler, Daniels said.)
The I-894 bridge over the tracks is scheduled to be rebuilt in 2015, he said.
Trailing ahead
In the meantime, beginning next year, the city will work on building the western mile of the off-road crosstown connector trail from about I-894 west to meet the New Berlin trail at 124th Street near Burnham Street. That project is estimated to cost $770,000, Daniels said.
Two federal grants will pick up all but $154,000 of that portion of the project. The city has a Federal Transportation Enhancement grant and a Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality grant.
The city will likely borrow for its share of the project.
Last week, the Common Council approved $2,160 to study options for the trail route to get from the tracks to the Hank Aaron trail, including a tunnel under the busy tracks and a bridge over them.

This is way out there but maybe it's like this:
Some evil dude knows of a ressurection jutsu and brings back the dead (Sort of like how Oro brought the 1st & 2nd back - might also explain why he's left cause he's already learned what he needed to know from this "evil dude"). As much as I hate to admit it, this might mean that Pain was Yondaime, Tobi was Obito...etc. They need to be in these coffin like chambers to regenerate their chakra or something weird like that, sorta like a treatment thingy. Obivously, not all akatsuki members were once taken to the other world, so not all of them need this.
This possibly means that of the current roster, at least 6 of them need this type of treatment.
Okay, now you guys can go ahead and rip into this rant of mine.
I think they are bodies that Pein use when one body gets tired. So he can fight more. This could be the reason why he can kill Hanzou. Once he get tired, run off, dock his current body, switch into another one, then run back to battle.
this might answer your question (it's a spoiler for naruto manga chapter 370)

GDR #70 - Canucks @ Flames

Game Day Recon #70 - Canucks @ Flames
The Vancouver Canucks face their long-time division rivals tonight as they travel to Calgary to end their 5 game road trip against the Flames. The Flames could very well end up facing the Canucks in the first round of the playoffs. Based on how the games have gone so far this year, I think the Canucks would probably be okay with that.
Broadcast Info
Game Time: 7:00 PM PT
The Intel
The Vancouver Canucks are 3-0-1 against the Flames so far this year, outscoring them 17-8 (I'm not counting the SO winner as an actual goal). And Tim Jackman has four of them. Yes, you read that right. So the Canucks have done a positively fantastic job shutting down the rest of the Flames lineup so far this season.
But this could very well be a special teams battle if this becomes a chippy affair. The Canucks have the league's best road power play, while the Flames boast the third best home power play. If the two teams start trading penalties, it will be imperative for the Canucks to capitalize on their extra-man advantages and use their vastly improving road PK to keep the Flames out of this game.
While the Flames in general have been playing incrediby well as a team, there's only one skater that's really been burning up the scoresheet lately. Curtis Glencross has been on a tear, with 5 points in his last 4 games. Jerome Iginla has had a it of a strange year offensively. He's gone on two bit spurts of points scoring, intertwined with very erratic scoring, where he'll get points in a couple of games, then cool down for two or three, then score for a couple, then cool again. Well he hasn't scored a point in his last two games and before that, he had 8 points in 4 games. So far this year, he has 0G 3A for 3Pts in 4GP against Vancouver, and is -5. Besides that, he has not looked especially dominant and the Canucks have doon very well to keep him in check and not engage him physically. Iginla has torched the Canucks throughout his NHL career, so you have to expect that Iggy will wake up at some point this season. In 78 career games against the Canucks, he's scored a blistering 28G 40A 60Pts. Surprisingly though, he's only scored 2 GWG against Vancouver.
As for the league's leading scorer, Daniel Sedin, he's killed the Flames throughout his time in the NHL. in 60GP against the Flames, Daniel has 20G 39A 59Pts and is +16. Brother Henrik's numbers are just as impressive at 11G 41A for 51Pts and +21, also in 60GP. Oh... and they both have 3 GWG's against the Flames, too.
So look for the Sedins to have a stellar night, and expect that Iginla is going to break out of his slumber against the Canucks and exert some will on this game.
**UPDATE** - News courtesy Ian Walker, Tanner Glass has reaggrevated an upper body injury and will not play tonight. The Canucks will very likely put Jeff Tambellini back in the lineup to fill Glass's roll on the fourth line.
The Three Keys
Here are the three keys for the Vancouver Canucks tonight:
1. Watch out for Tim Jackman. NO, SERIOUSLY! In 4GP this year against the Canucks, Jackman has 4 goals! And he's scored in every game! He only has 10 goals for the entire year! You see why I am flabbergasted by this?
2. Faceoffs. The Flames will be without the 2nd-leading faceoff taker, Brendan Morrison, tonight. Granted, Morrison wasn't very good in the faceoff dot, but he was logging big minutes there. So the Flames have to replace him with someone not accustomed to taking that many draws. With as good as the Canucks are, this good be a huge advantage for them. Control the puck and keep it away from Tim Jackman. I mean that.
3. Win the third period. Sorry... #windaturd. The Flames have been dominant in the third period this year and are third in goals-for in the final frame. They do give up goals though, as they rank 20th in goals-against in the third. So the Canucks need to use their 1st place third-period offense, and their third-place third-period defense to close out this game. If the game is close or tied going into the last period, you can expect this one to have one exciting finish.
The Links
Here are your top 5 links for today's game:
1. Tale of the Tape: Canucks @ Flames (canucks.com)
2. Henrik: Team meeting made a difference (The Province)
3. For Canucks, the puck stops here (Vancouver Sun)
4. Desperate Flames host surging Canucks (CBC Sports)
5. Flames Nation (flamesnation.ca) << SEE WHAT THE ENEMY HAS TO SAY!
are you nuts, I don't want to have anything to do with the flames in the first round. I would rather play wild ducks preds coyotes, no way do i want to play flames.
That's right, the Flames would take the Canorcs to game 7 for sure, on pure blood and guts hatred. Those other teams will roll over for you, but the Flamers are your sworn enemies, they'll play you hard. Thankfully for you, the Flames won't make it in. They're a gritty playoff team if they do.

Skip to comments.Georgia high court disbars former Congresswoman Majette
Posted on 03/29/2014 8:29:55 AM PDT by PAR35
The Georgia Supreme Court has disbarred former Georgia Congresswoman Denise Majette, finding she overbilled clients and misled the court about how much she was owed in fees.
DeKalb County voters elected Majette to Congress in 2002 after she defeated then-Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney in the Democratic primary. She resigned after one term to run for the U.S. Senate and lost to Republican Johnny Isakson in the general election in 2004. In 2008, she sought office again but lost her bid to unseat state School Superintendent Kathy Cox.
(Excerpt) Read more at ajc.com ...
She got tripped up by inflating both her hourly rate and the hours worked on a case.
And now I have Hank Johnson! What a trade!
She is an African American and a D
Is he the island tipper?
"She got tripped up by inflating both her hourly rate and the hours worked on a case. "
That's absolutely normal. I knew an attorney with big corporate clients who would add up his monthly bills and divide by the number of clients. They'd each get a bill that was more creative writing than Michael Crichton. One of Al Gore's attorneys in his election fight billed more hours than existed from the point he was hired until Gore lost.
She must have done something else to annoy the court as overbilling is well within the accepted norm.
Yes, the news isn't that she got caught; it is that the paper clearly showed her party membership.
Padding hours is one thing. Leaving a paper trail is something else. And quoting $200 an hour and then asking the court to award $500 an hour is over the top even by legal standards.
And finally, there are two sets of ethics application - on set for the solos and small firms, another set for the megafirms.
"And finally, there are two sets of ethics application - on set for the solos and small firms, another set for the megafirms."
I hired a mega-firm once as I already knew the junior attorney. The first billing wiped out my entire budget. Since they literally hadn't done anything my buddy looked into it. It turns out they never billed less than $3,000/month. They didn't try to justify it, that's just what they did. They had clients like oil companies and tire manufacturers. Apparently, big companies never even notice. My buddy had me pay the bill and he did all the rest of the work at home on his own. (He was awesome.)
Who has the list of O "family member" recently being brought to justice? From sea to sea D "corruption of color"
I have to say your generalization is way off base.
I have many black democrat political friends in GA that do not violate the law like this trash. Do we disagree on issues? Hell yes! But we still live and work in the same community.
I don't like it when it is done to me as an "old conservative white man" by Ebony magazine either.
That kind of discourse must stop.
Didn't you have Cynthia McKinney for a couple years in between, before Hank?
I hate to say it, but Hank is an improvement.
Majette was a fool to run for the Senate seat. I don't know what she was thinking.
Inflating hourly rate and hours worked?
How does this differ from every other lawyer?
Please put "Democrat" in the title, somewhere in front of the name, when you post articles like these; that way, her/his party affiliation shows up immediately in a Google search.
The media does this for every GOP politician that does something; we ought to reciprocate.
Yet-another-corrupt-Georgia-Democrat ping.
Thanks, but I think I'll stick to the posting rules.
She did regain the seat for a single term after Majette stepped down. To tell you how many friends she had in Washington the Democrats refused to reinstate her seniority when she returned to Congress.
RE Posting Rules:
Is that against the rules? Sorry, I didn't realize that.
Just figured we should return the favor any way we can to the other side.
Holder's protected species.
You aren't supposed to alter headlines (unless you need to cut them to fit). Personalized headlines can contribute to multiple posts.
Got it. Didn't realize that.
It's accepted to put stuff like that in brackets so it's obvious it's not part of the original headline, but yeah, the original headline is the ticket.
It's desired to add a state in brackets at the end of a headline if a locale-specific event is happening, and it isn't obvious where from the headline. Say something like "Ted Cruz Speaks to Republicans in Springfield [MO]."
GA FReeper ping. Former 4th District congresscritter here.
McKinney still teaching Cornell university meatheads??
Dekalb county Georgia city of Decatur. Ground zero liberals democrats feminists and guilty whites. Emory university and Agnes Scott college feeds this cesspool yielding a sting of congressional fools. Worse yet is they are fronts for violent and extremely corrupt paymasters.
She is not an African-American, she is just an American who happens to be a darker skin color than most in this country, period.
The longer we accept their isolating of constituency sub groups, the longer we will have to live with the consequences. Those of that particular skin tone, as a sub-group, will have to endure their own perceived problems with others until they get with reality and pull themselves out.
An excellent example is the mother of Dr. Ben Carson and the effect of her acceptance of reality that resulted in his life story. Although a very good man, he is not without his flaws in regards to the Constitution and especially the 2nd Amendment.
But at least Hank has offered legislation to prevent Guam from turning turtle.
Another crooked corrupt black democrat. What a surprise.
Thank you!
I don't post articles all that often. I think in the time I've been here, I posted maybe four max...
Just figured it would be good to return the favor to the other side. You have to dig most times for the (D) when it comes to the 'rats.
media bias in action. if this was an "R" it would be in the first sentence. Because it is a "D" it is hidden along with her black caucus membership.
Muchelle: Ordered off the Illinois Bar by the Courts.
Majette: Disbarred in Georgia.
Bill Clinton: Suspended from the Bar in Arkansas.
Perhaps they should form a club? They coulkd meet at a bar?

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – If anybody thinks Davey Johnson is still licking his wounds and lamenting the painful way the Washington Nationals' year ended, they don't know their feisty manager.
Johnson won't hold back when he heads into what's supposed to be the final season of a 17-year managerial career, inviting high expectations for the Nationals as they seek to defend their first NL East title.
"World Series or bust, that's probably the slogan this year,'' Johnson said at the winter meetings. "But I'm comfortable with that.''
The Nationals, who had the majors' best record at 98-64, took a 6-0 lead in the decisive Game 5 of the NL Division Series and were still ahead 7-5 with two outs in the ninth inning before the St. Louis Cardinals stunned them with a four-run rally to win in an instant classic.
Johnson stuck with closer Drew Storen even as he walked two batters and gave up three hits, including Daniel Descalso's game-tying single off shortstop Ian Desmond's glove and Pete Kozma's two-RBI single to put the Cardinals ahead 9-7.
"I don't re-live it because I think enough about what I'm doing before I do it, and I have all the reasons,'' Johnson said. "I've never worried about anybody second-guessing me because they don't know all the options that I have and how I've managed all year. So none of that bothers me.''
Johnson, who turns 70 in January, said he wanted to come back for a final shot at winning the World Series, which he did twice as a player and also as manager of the New York Mets in 1986.
The Nationals boasted the best starters' ERA in the NL last season at 3.40 and may have an even stronger rotation with the free-agent addition of veteran starter Dan Haren. They've also filled a void in center field by trading for Denard Span, but could lose first baseman Adam LaRoche, their home run and RBI leader, who is a free agent.
Of course, if Johnson has any say in the matter, LaRoche is not going anywhere.
"Adam LaRoche is going to come back,'' Johnson said. "I mean, if I have to go to Kansas and take him and all his cattle to Florida, I will. … We're trying to make it easier for him to come back.''

By Sun Herald, Biloxi/Gulfport
Jamie Miller said Tuesday he was "excited about being part of the solution" at the troubled Mississippi Department of Marine Resources. As Gov. Phil Bryant's nominee to be the DMR's next executive director, Miller said fixing the agency "begins and ends with being transparent and accountable to the public."
The public should welcome transparency and accountability at the DMR, which has not undergone a state audit in more than 10 years and which is now under investigation by state and federal officials.
We wish Miller every success if he is confirmed by the state Senate.
We had urged the Commission on Marine Resources, which oversees the DMR, to recommend to Bryant a candidate with hefty credentials to lead the DMR out of the wilderness.
We had hoped the CMR's search would be far removed from the state's good old boy network of politically connected folk, and that specifically the search committee would place emphasis on a person with a good scientific mind informed by the areas that are touched by the DMR's work.
We also hoped the person selected would have demonstrated a record of excellence in the management of people and budgets, and that he or she would be someone dedicated to the spirit and the letter of the laws that govern the agency.
Miller, a 40-year-old native of Gulfport, does hold a bachelor's degree in environmental biology from the University of Southern Mississippi and worked as a coastal ecologist with DMR from 1997 to 1999.
But those scientific credentials pale beside his political connections at the municipal, state and federal levels of government.
Now he may oversee the DMR, which has grown to be a powerful state agency since it was formed in 1994.
Of the 17 unnamed people who wanted the DMR job, three were selected by the members of the CMR and their undisclosed names were submitted to Bryant.
The governor chose Miller, and now the state Senate must judge that selection.

Under the leadership of President Paul R. Brown, PhD, Monmouth University is commencing a comprehensive, inclusive, and transparent strategic planning process that will establish a path for programmatic, athletic, facility, and general funding priorities as we strive to achieve new heights of excellence.
The entire strategic planning process is informed by the University's mission and core values. It is also informed by our collective privilege and obligation to help our students to unearth their intellectual passions in an environment that embraces their varied cultures, backgrounds, and beliefs.
Our collective journey will help establish benchmarks for what constitutes the best personalized learning experiences and outcomes for our students, tempered by the understanding that the real value of an education isn't measured solely by objective benchmarks.
Each student who arrives on our campus richly deserves to understand and experience the unique opportunities that make a Monmouth University education personally relevant. Initially, three key themes were identified to guide the planning process: personalized learning experience, program relevance, and global and cultural awareness. After input from the campus community, a fourth theme has been added, a community of teaching, scholarship and collaboration. These themes can translate differently across different areas of campus, and even across different universities.
An overarching goal for the strategic planning process is to determine the optimal portfolio of graduate and undergraduate programs that will prepare our students for "life after Monmouth," setting a foundation for both continuing intellectual development and economic advancement, by aligning our resources to provide the best match for what we have to offer them. This is a collective and holistic effort by everyone on campus.
Strategic thinking that encompasses the entire community will help us formalize a strong and comprehensive vision that will set our priorities in the years to come. All members of the campus community will be engaged in this important task.
In October, the Board of Trustees endorsed the strategic plan that developed by the campus community. The Monmouth University Plan: Our Commitment to Transformative Learning expresses a clear vision and strategy for Monmouth's future, reflecting the input of faculty, administrators, staff, students, alumni, and other stakeholders.

On September 11, Emery High students and faculty gathered in the auditorium to honor the lives lost on September 11, 2001. The student council used the theme "Remember" for this first assembly of the school year. Tyrell Jewkes welcomed everyone to the assembly. Travis Bunderson led the group in the Pledge of Allegiance. The Emery High a cappella Choir was next on the program singing the National Anthem.
Jessica Malone introduced the special guest speaker, her father, Major Bill Malone of Ferron. He is a retired US Marine Corps officer who spoke about his history with military service from his uncles, father, cousins, nephews and son. His son Jared, is in the 1st Tank Battalion in Iraq. Jared is in Bravo Company among the soldiers who toppled the first statue of Saddam Hussein.
Major Malone reminded the students of the importance of military service and to honor the military always. After a story concerning a retired Marine's heroism on September 11, Major Malone asked the students "Who are your heroes?" He then stated "All the heroes are dead."
Several Emery High students read biographies of people lost on September 11. The choir sang again and the concert band participated by playing. Emery High principal Gwen Callahan closed the assembly with the comment "The best tribute we can give those who died is to be better people."

The Friday Chat is on.
It's Errand Day, and I'll be in and out on a rainy Friday morning, but I'll be checking the blog.
Hugh Freeze downplays the importance of a starting quarterback when he knows both Bo Wallace and Barry Brunetti will play. Still, there was much talk about who the Ole Miss starter would be until Freeze named Wallace Thursday afternoon.
From what I saw, I thought it would be Wallace all along, even if Wallace didn't run away with the job. Now that he's won it, the question is can he keep it, and what will be Brunetti's role. Lots of teams have success with a run-oriented QB coming in to take a shotgun snap. Looks like that's on the horizon. Brunetti's role could be much more than that, however, if Wallace doesn't take advantage of this opportunity and build.
Also, did you watch college football last night, and did you think Vanderbilt got jobbed on the pass intereference no-call? The Commodores still would have had about 35 yards to cover to reach the end zone, and the clock was running, but they were denied that chance.
It wasn't a great debut for South Carolina aside from Marcus Lattimore, and even Lattimore wasn't immune to early mistakes with a fumble. The Gamecocks, though, looked quite average on offense after Connor Shaw hurt his shoulder. He showed a lot of toughness to finish the game, but that's a big concern for South Carolina moving forward.

After over 5 years and 1500 posts, this will be my final blog entry as host of the Core Knowledge Blog.
The good news – no, great news – is that the blog will continue to host an ongoing conversation on curriculum, literacy, teaching and learning. It will continue to make the case for a content-rich education as the indispensable key to language proficiency, vocabulary growth, critical thinking, problem solving and nearly all of the big picture goals we prize in education. A guy named E.D. Hirsch will be taking over this space for now. I believe you've heard of him.
K-12 education looked very different when this blog launched in December 2007. The education reform discussion largely revolved around structural concerns—teacher quality, testing, charter schools, school choice, and the like. This blog expressed frustration early and often at the blithe lack of concern among policymakers and reform advocates with the content of our children's education–what teachers teach and children learn. All of these structural issues struck me, then and still, as important but insufficient if we wish to see not merely incremental change, but a watershed improvement in student outcomes, especially for low-income and disadvantaged students.
With the advent of Common Core State Standards, much of the energy around school improvement is now squarely focused where it belongs: inside the classroom. Does this mean K-12 education is now safe for content? That curriculum is the most favored reform lever? Not hardly. CCSS implicitly rescues literacy from its status as a content-free, skills-driven intellectual wasteland, but questionable, ineffective literacy practices are the seven-headed Hydra of Greek mythology—cut off one head and two more grow in its place.
I choose to be optimistic. The essential point made by E.D. Hirsch for nearly 30 years – literacy is a function of background knowledge – is settled science. For the first time in the reform era, American education is having a deep and fruitful conversation about what gets taught. The understanding that the more kids know across knowledge domains, the more likely they are to read, write, listen and speak with comprehension and confidence, is enshrined in the Common Core ELA standards. Not for nothing has Hirsch been referred to as the intellectual forefather of Common Core. All of this was nearly unthinkable a mere five years ago.
The fight is not over. It will never be over. Education has a peculiar talent for endlessly re-litigating disputes, regardless of the weight of evidence, and relabeling old ideas as new and innovative. Is there any field that is as broadly ignorant of its own history as education?
Which brings me to what's next for your humble blogger. Effective this month, I will be continuing to make the case for content, but in a slightly different form and venue. I will be leading an effort, along with some of the leading thinkers in education and public policy, to launch a new organization to advocate for civic education, to renew and revitalize the civic purpose of education. You will find me here shortly, and for now you can also follow me on Twitter here and Facebook here. You can also email me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
To be sure, I don't view this as a departure from the work of Core Knowledge, but as an extension of it. Another voice in the happily growing chorus of those who understand and advocate for a content-rich education, and seek to rescue our kids from the joyless, skills-happy, prep-and-test drudgery to which schools too often descend. We have a larger mission to serve in education. One that transcends the unlovely if earnest end of "college and career readiness." The public purpose of education is citizenship first. Don's last book was titled, The Making of Americans for a reason.
In closing, I am immensely grateful to have been associated with Core Knowledge for the last five years, and to have had this forum to make the common sense case for a content-rich education. I walked in the door a true believer in the Core Knowledge vision. I walk out the door doubly so.
I owe debts that can never be repaid to my Core Knowledge colleagues, in particular Linda Bevilacqua and Alice Wiggins. To Dan Willingham for his wise counsel, friendship and assistance. And most of all to Don Hirsch. It has been the singular privilege of my adult life to be associated with him and his deeply democratic and egalitarian vision of education.
