For the past 25 years, the schools in Union City, New Jersey, have gradually improved and now rival some of the best schools in the state. How did they do it? Improbable Scholars author David Kirp, a professor of public policy who studied the schools for more than a year, concluded that Union City engaged in a process of "plan, do, review." This systematic approach allowed district officials to select a path forward, implement it, assess its results, and make the necessary adjustments. The administrators, teachers, parents, school board members, and town officials of Union City aren't smarter than anyone else. But they are far more patient and far less likely to be fooled into adopting a silver-bullet line of attack.
The New Jersey Department of Education (NJDOE) could learn a little something from this methodology. Instead, NJDOE officials lurch forward and embrace the use of student growth percentiles (SGP) to evaluate teachers, even though the research says they shouldn't.
Dr. Bruce Baker, a professor at Rutgers' Graduate School of Education, is one of those researchers who questions the wisdom of the state's proposed teacher evaluation regulations. Baker maintains that student growth data cannot show the degree to which a teacher influenced student progress. He concludes, therefore, that the data should not be used to measure teacher effectiveness.
Naturally, the NJDOE points to research that supports its course of action, namely the Gates Foundation Measures of Effective Teaching (MET) Project. In this study, student achievement measures were a critical component in determining teacher quality.
The problem is, the statistical measures used in the MET Project are very different than those proposed by the NJDOE. As University of Southern California Professor Morgan Polikoff noted in Baker's School Finance 101 blog, "…the MET project says nothing at all about the use of SGPs." Polikoff, a member of the MET Project research team, goes on to explain that "The growth measures used in the MET project were, in fact, based on value-added models (VAMs). The MET project's VAMs, unlike student growth percentiles, included an extensive list of student covariates, such as demographics, free/reduced-price lunch, English language learner, and special education status. Extrapolating from these results and inferring that the same applies to SGPs is not an appropriate use of the available evidence."
Still, the NJDOE's march toward the use of SGPs continues, even without evidence that this use can effectively or fairly determine teacher quality. The department—and the teachers and students of New Jersey—would be better served by an evolving approach toward long-term improvement much like the way Union City met its challenges.
So says noted researcher Dr. Howard Wainer, author of Uneducated Guesses—Using Evidence to Uncover Misguided Education Policies (Princeton University Press, 2011).
"Experience has taught us a great deal about what kinds of optimization methods work in complex systems and what kinds do not," writes Wainer. "What does work is the implementation of constant experimentation, in which small changes are made to the process. Then the effects of the changes are assessed. If the process improves, the size of the changes is increased and the outcome monitored. If the process gets worse, the changes are reversed and another variable is manipulated. Gradually, the entire complex process moves toward optimization. If we follow this approach, when the future arrives the system of the future is there to greet it."

NFL Draft Report
By Joe Buscaglia
LB Travis Lewis, Oklahoma
by Joe Buscaglia
posted Feb 10 2012 4:15PM
Travis Lewis, #28
6'1", 232 lbs., 24 years old
San Antonio, TX
2011: 84 tackles, 4 TFL, 1 sack, INT, 2 FF
2010: 109 tackles, 5.5 TFL, 1.5 sacks, 3 INT
2009: 108 tackles, 9.5 TFL, 1 sack, INT, FF
2008: 144 tackles, 12 TFL, 3.5 sacks, 4 INT, FF
- An instinctive player with very good recognition skills. Rarely out of position.
- Displays a knack for taking the right angle to the ball carrier.
- A sound tackler. May struggle when the ball carrier has a full head of steam, but is dependable for the most part.
- Looks comfortable in an underneath zone coverage.
- Despite his frame, he looks smallish and is easily pushed around by offensive linemen attempting to block him. Needs to get stronger.
- Not very explosive, has no real burst to him even on blitzes.
- Just average speed for a smaller player. Will struggle in getting sideline-to-sideline with NFL backs.
- Just looks a bit stiff in his hips.
Special Notes:
- Four-year starter with Oklahoma that peaked statistically as a freshman.
Projection: 6th to 7th round
- While Lewis has the starting experience unlike most, his game certainly doesn't translate well in to the NFL. This will likely be a case of a good college linebacker that put up big stats that will have a hard time finding a home in the NFL. Needs to be a special teams guy to stay on a roster. Weakside linebacker in a 4-3.

liz does not live far from me i have local paper clipping of her do you want me to put it up on here tomorrow ?
Apologies if this has been posted before - just seen on Amazon that Miss Frasers' autobigraphy -"Adventures of a Carry On Girl" is due for publication on 10 October 2011.
liz does not live far from me i have local paper clipping of her do you want me to put it up on here tomorrow ?
I can't wait for this as I've been a big fan of Liz's for many years. Many years ago, I wrote to her and got a signed photo with personnal message which I still treasure to this day :)
I'll definitely buy this. Should an excellent read
I think I'll hang fire until about a month before publication and see what the competition is selling it for
I hope she does some signings
Any predictions about the kind of 'tone'? I only know her through her work, so I have no idea what she's like as a person, or what aspects of her life she'll want to play up or down? Do you think it'll be s straight chronology keeping things polite troughout, or will there be dirt to dish? Or will it be something like Bob Dylan's Chronicles - a confusing tongue in cheek look back at - if I may quote Kenny Everett's immortal Quentin Pseud - everything, and yet nothing. I realise this last idea is unlikely, but how do you think she'll approach the retelling of her life?

Here we go as promised
Robert Ross - Books
Liz is a very 'sparky' person - she used to write a lot of amusing letters to a national newspaper. She could probably have written her own book but, perhaps, needed the discipline of an experienced writer to keep her focused.
You'll get a sample of whats to come if you buy Carry on Cabby, here she is interviewed by Robert Ross in the commentry section where she talks about her career. For instance she don't talk highly of "The Painted Smile" which I thought was quite good myself.
Thanks - it's always good to know who the ghost-writer is (and I'd be interested to know of any celeb autobiographies of recent years that don't have one). A recent one I very much enjoyed was June Whitfield's which I recently disovered was written by Christopher Douglas, well-known to Radio 4 listeners as Ed Reardon and Dave Podmore
Re-opening the grouse season - Times Online
Liz does have a very negative few of The Carry On Films and some people involved in these films - Peter Rogers and Jack Douglas to name but 2 - but she always liked Sid, who doesn't. She also owns a Bassett Hound which seems to growl at the very mention of Peter Rogers!
i have the pleasure of having known liz for many years and she has some very strong and frank views which i hope find their way into the book. her career has covered an amazing amount of british comedy films. i look forward to reading it. sadly i have heard from two film stars of the 1950s and 60s who can't find a publisher interested in publishing their autobiographies yet they starred in famous movies and alongside big names . great pity
Although Amazon are still listing this as having been published yesterday, the website of Signum Books (the publisher) says it will now appear in Autumn 2012. And there's no mention of it on Robert Ross's website.
Anyone know anything?
Waterstones have it listed for 10 October:-
Adventures of a Carry On Girl: The Autobiography of Liz Fraser (Book) by Liz Fraser (2011): Waterstones.com
Has anyone read this,is it any good and is it still available? Amazon list it as unavailable as do various other sites.
Yet to be released i'm afraid. . A heavily revised edition is not due until the Autumn.

"These flats are the comfiest I have ever worn! I know they aren't too fancy since they are moccasins but I live on the west coast and can get away with a more relaxed look at work. They pair well with leggings, colorful jeans and dresses of all sorts. The soles are just so comfy! I highly recommend them to anyone, especially those who have a hard time wearing stiff flats.

Yvon Godin Acadie—Bathurst, NB
Mr. Speaker, I have two petitions to present. The first petition is signed by 99 people from my riding of Acadie—Bathurst, who are asking the government to maintain funding for old age security and to make the necessary investments to enhance GIS benefits to lift every senior out of poverty.
Public Services
Routine Proceedings
11:10 a.m.
Yvon Godin Acadie—Bathurst, NB
Mr. Speaker, the second petition comes to us from people in the Atlantic provinces and Quebec. I am pleased to present a petition containing over 4,575 names calling on the government to reverse plans to cut jobs and public services by $4 billion; to maintain and improve federal public services to all Canadians; and to reverse corporate tax cuts as a cost-effective way to reduce the deficit.
The petitioners believe that public services are a major contributor to the security and prosperity of our families and communities. Cuts to services undermine our safety, our health and our environment and reduce families' spending power, hurting the economy.
Multiple Sclerosis
Routine Proceedings
11:10 a.m.
Ralph Goodale Wascana, SK
Mr. Speaker, I have a petition to file today signed by a number of people across a broad swath of central Saskatchewan, including the great constituency of Regina—Qu'Appelle, who are expressing their concern about chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency.
The petitioners call upon the Minister of Health to consult experts who have practical experience in dealing with CCSVI. They urge the minister to proceed with phase III clinical trials on an urgent basis. They also urge the minister to require follow-up of patients with Doppler ultrasound and clinical examinations in the period after their treatments, whether those treatments happen in Canada or abroad.
This is one of a long series of petitions from the Saskatchewan people expressing concern about this very difficult condition because one of the highest incidents of MS and CCSVI in Canada occurs in the province of Saskatchewan.
Human Trafficking
Routine Proceedings
11:10 a.m.
Joy Smith Kildonan—St. Paul, MB
Mr. Speaker, I would like to present a number of petitions from people across Canada who are calling on our government to put forward a national action plan to combat human trafficking in our country. This was a national action plan that was announced during the last election. These people want to see that this is done.
Human Rights
Routine Proceedings
11:10 a.m.
Rathika Sitsabaiesan Scarborough—Rouge River, ON
Mr. Speaker, today I rise to present petitions on behalf of members of the greater Toronto area with respect to human rights in Sri Lanka.
We know the United Nations had a panel of experts who studied the conditions of what happened during the last phase of the war. There were credible allegations that war crimes and crimes against humanity took place on the island of Sri Lanka.
The petitioners call upon the Government of Canada to urge the United Nations to immediately establish an independent, international and impartial mechanism to ensure truth, accountability and justice in Sri Lanka.
The Environment
Routine Proceedings
11:15 a.m.
Ted Hsu Kingston and the Islands, ON
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to present a petition from the electors in Kingston and the Islands who call upon the Government of Canada to assume direct responsibility through Environment Canada for monitoring, in a long-term way, climate change in the Canadian Arctic and to make those data freely available to interested researchers.
This is especially urgent now because we know there will be imminent termination of funding for year-round operations at the Polar Environment Atmospheric Research Laboratory and getting long-term data from measurements like that will be very important for understanding what will happen to the Arctic when climate change occurs. We know that the Arctic will be most affected and, if we want to have sovereignty over the Arctic, we should be understanding of what is happening up there.
I believe the government would support this because the Minister of the Environment once stood up in question period and said, "Our government believes that what gets measured gets done." I hope the government will commit to measuring the effects of climate change in the Arctic.
Routine Proceedings
11:15 a.m.
Rob Merrifield Yellowhead, AB
Mr. Speaker, I have four petitions from the riding of Yellowhead.
The petitioners recognize that the Supreme Court said that Parliament was responsible for enacting abortion legislation. They request that the House of Commons enacts legislation as fast as possible to restrict abortion to the greatest extent possible.
Routine Proceedings
11:15 a.m.
Andrew Cash Davenport, ON
Mr. Speaker, recently the Minister of Public Safety stood in his place and declared that those who do not agree with the government's lawful access legislation are standing with child pornographers.
That is what the minister is saying to the people in my riding who signed this petition expressing their grave concerns over the Conservative government's online spying bill.
Putting aside the minister's insult, not just to the people of my riding but to people right across the country who are concerned about the bill, the folks who signed this petition did so because they believe that the fundamental underpinnings of a democratic society is the protection of privacy—
Routine Proceedings
11:15 a.m.
David Sweet Ancaster—Dundas—Flamborough—Westdale, ON
Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order. I understand that this is the time for petitions but it was my understanding, procedurally, that members were not supposed to speak for or against a petition. It is my understanding that the member has clearly taken a position on this, which is against the Standing Orders.
Routine Proceedings
11:15 a.m.
The Speaker Andrew Scheer
I would encourage the hon. member for Davenport to provide a brief summary of the petitions that he is presenting. We could then accommodate more members who wish to present petitions.
Routine Proceedings
11:15 a.m.
Andrew Cash Davenport, ON
Mr. Speaker, the people of Davenport have grave concerns about the government's lawful access legislation, in particular the underpinnings of a democratic society or the protection of civil liberties and privacy.
That is what the petitioners are concerned about and that is what I present, respectfully, to the House today.
Income Tax Act
Routine Proceedings
11:15 a.m.
Russ Hiebert South Surrey—White Rock—Cloverdale, BC
Mr. Speaker, it is a pleasure to rise and present a petition on behalf of the people of South Surrey—White Rock—Cloverdale.
The petition states, in part, that one of the hallmarks of a stable and mature democracy is financial transparency and accountability, that the majority of Canadians believe that labour unions should be required to disclose how they spend their union dues, and that labour union financial transparency would allow Canadians to gauge the effectiveness and financial integrity and health of unions.
The petitioners ask that the House pass the disclosure legislation as quickly as possible.
Bottled Water
Routine Proceedings
11:15 a.m.
Elizabeth May Saanich—Gulf Islands, BC
Mr. Speaker, I rise this afternoon to present two petitions.
The first petition is on the subject of the use of bottled water in federal buildings and within the House of Commons. It comes from Canadians from coast to coast, from my riding of Saanich—Gulf Islands all the way to Ontario, and some from Quebec.
This is an issue that many Canadians are concerned about, both from the point of view of solid waste, the tapping of aquifers and the ongoing question of undermining our public services in potable and very high-quality tap water in Canada.
Aboriginal Affairs
Routine Proceedings
11:20 a.m.
Elizabeth May Saanich—Gulf Islands, BC
Mr. Speaker, my second petition today is signed by people from an even wider variety of Canadian locations, Calgary, Toronto, Guelph, Hamilton and Saturna Island within my own riding.
The petitioners call upon the Government of Canada to cease and desist from promoting the northern gateway pipeline and, relevant to an exchange earlier in question period between the hon. member for Edmonton—Strathcona and the Minister of Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development, calls on full, fair and proper consultations in respecting first nations' inherent rights.
Routine Proceedings

The wife of Alexian Lien, the driver of the SUV that ran over a motorcyclist, released a statement to The Daily News that her family was "in grave danger." VPC
One undercover detective told superiors days later he did not intervene to protect his cover.
At least one New York police detective was riding with a motorcycle pack that chased and beat an SUV driver Sunday after a road-rage altercation but he did not intervene to stop the attack, law enforcement sources told news organizations.
One cop was an undercover officer who told superiors he did not get involved or call 911 because he did not want to be exposed, the Daily News and the New York Post reported. Sources told the Post he was not investigating the bikers but waited until Wednesday night to reveal he witnessed bikers attack 33-year-old Alexian Lien in front of his wife and 2-year-old daughter.
STORY: Biker charged in SUV chase, attack caught on video
STORY: Biker charged with reckless driving in taped NYC chase
The Post said the undercover officer belongs to a motorcycle club called the Front Line Soldiers, whose members include several police officers. ABC News reported he was working narcotics.
The Daily News' sources said two officers -- and possibly two or three others -- were among the estimated 20 to 30 motorcyclists on the Henry Hudson Parkway when riders tried to slow traffic. LIen's Range Rover bumped one bike when he was cut off, and he accelerated to escape, hitting several riders and seriously injuring one.
Several bikers chased Lien four miles before catching up with him in Manhattan traffic, smashing his windows and severely beating him in Washington Heights.
A biker's helmet-cam video of the pursuit and assault went viral after being posted to YouTube. It had more than 6 million view by Friday.
The undercover officer's actions are being investigated by NYPD Internal Affairs.
A second biker, Robert Sims, surrendered Friday. He is believed to have yanked the vehicle's door open and also participated in the assault.,police said. A third rider remains a suspect.
The injured biker, 32-year-old Edwin "Jay" Mieses, of Lawrence, Mass., suffered a broken spine, torn aortic valve and a punctured lung when Lien ran him over. Doctors do not yet know if he will be paralyzed.
STORY: Supporters rally around biker hurt in NYC dustup
At a news conference Friday, celebrity lawyer Gloria Allred said the aspiring rapper was trying to get other bikers to walk away from the confrontation when Lien ran him down.
"He told everyone to move on and go back to riding," she said. "His sole intention was to defuse the situation."
"Watch that huge vehicle, SUV, blast off, and watch it as it is lifted several feet off the ground as it rolls over Edwin Mieses," she said of the video.
Dayana Mejia, Mieses partner and the father their two children, defended the cyclists who gathered for the "Hollywood STuntz" rider.
"They are not gang members. They are not thugs," she said tearfully.
Lien's wife, Rosalyn Ng, released a statement Thursday in which she expressed sympathy for Mieses but defended her husband's actions because it was a "life-threatening situation."
STORY: Driver's wife: Biker chase put family in 'grave danger'
"Our fear for our lives was confirmed when the incident ended with the ruthless and brutal attack on my husband, me, and, most importantly, our 2-year-old child," Ng said.
Neither Lien nor Mieses has been charged.

There's a lot to see between the lines of studies that estimate uncollected sales tax figures.
While a study by the University of Tennessee projects that uncollected sales tax on web sales (both business-to-consumer and business-to-business) under current law will reach as much as $12.7 billion in 2012, another study backed by Internet businesses says the loss in sales tax revenue will reach only $4.7 billion.
Why the gap?
Forecasts often differ because of different models and data sets, but the wide gap between those two figures also reflects the split between proponents and opponents of a nationwide sales tax system: The University of Tennessee study was requested and backed financially by the SST Governing Board, which oversees the Streamlined Sales and Use Tax Agreement, and three store-centered retail industry organizations that support the sales tax effort to level the playing field with web-only retailers—the National Retail Federation, the International Council of Shopping Centers, and the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts.
The membership in NetChoice, which backed the alternate study, is comprised of web-only and catalog retailers and organizations steadfastly opposed to a new sales tax system. Its members include eBay Inc., Overstock.com Inc., the Electronic Retailing Association, and the Internet Alliance. The Internet Alliance includes groups such as the Direct Marketing Association as well as individual Internet businesses.
The NetChoice-supported report—written in February 2010 by Jeff Eisenach, managing director at business consultants Navigant Economics (formerly chairman of economics consultants Empiris, which Navigant acquired early this year) and an adjunct professor of law at George Mason University; and Robert Litan, senior fellow in economics at the Brookings Institution and vice president of policy and research at the Kauffman Foundation, an organization that promotes entrepreneurship in business—contends that the University of Tennessee study overestimates both uncollected tax revenue tied to B2B online sales and overall projected growth in online sales.
Eisenach and Litan note, for example, that the Tennessee study fails to consider the fact that broadband penetration in U.S. households is reaching a saturation point and no longer spurring growth in e-commerce as it once did, and that the study also fails to account for the fact that many B2B sales are considered "inputs to production" and not subject to sales tax.
The Tennessee study, which was written by university economics and business professors Donald Bruce, William Fox and LeAnn Luna, included detailed questions to states about how sales tax is charged against wholesale transactions as well as products sold as component parts in manufacturing. It forecasts e-commerce sales using data from the U.S. Census Bureau combined with projections from HIS Global Insights, an economic forecasting firm.
Tennessee's study, completed in April 2009, is an updated version of an earlier independently produced study by professors Bruce and Fox that was not financially backed by either side of the sales tax debate. The SST Governing Board, having recognized the prior Tennessee study, in 2004, as unusually comprehensive among the tax studies conducted in most states, requested the university to update it to reflect more current e-commerce developments, Peterson says.
Two other university economics professors—James Alm of Georgia State University and Mikhail Melnik of Niagara University, who don't receive support from outside parties with an interest in the sales tax issue—say in a June report published in the National Tax Journal that the Tennessee study offers the best example of estimated revenue lost from uncollected sales tax, noting that, among other things, it uses detailed state-by-state surveys of taxable e-commerce transactions.
The true amount of incremental tax collection that would arise under a new sales tax collection system, of course, should eventually surface if pending federal legislation authorizing states to mandate sales tax collection by Internet and catalog retailers becomes law. Until then, it's good to look between the lines of the studies.

Chapter 1
Moses begins the recitation of all that befell Israel during forty years in the wilderness—The children of Israel are commanded to go into and possess Canaan—Judges and rulers are chosen to assist Moses—Israel's spies bring an evil report—The adults of Israel will perish—The Amorites defeat the armies of Israel.
1 These be the words which Moses spake unto all Israel

19 ¶And when we departed from Horeb, we went through all that great and terrible wilderness, which ye saw by the way of the mountain of the Amorites, as the Lord our God commanded us; and we came to Kadesh-barnea.
20 And I said unto you, Ye are come unto the mountain of the Amorites, which the Lord our God doth give unto us.
21 Behold, the Lord thy God hath set the land before thee: go up and possess it, as the Lord God of thy fathers hath said unto thee; fear not, neither be discouraged.
22 ¶And ye came near unto me every one of you, and said, We will send men before us, and they shall search us out the land, and bring us word again by what way we must go up, and into what cities we shall come.
23 And the saying pleased me well: and I took

25 And they took of the fruit of the land in their hands, and brought it down unto us, and brought us word again, and said, It is a good land which the Lord our God doth give us.

text: Movie Making Isn't Just for Film Students Jul 27, 2011 by Lisa Lowdermilk Making videos is something just about everyone I know has tried. And it's no wonder: Programs available today make it so easy...just look at YouTube's content! Whether you have aspirations of becoming a professional filmmaker, receive an unconventional class assignment or just want to film your college graduation, expressing yourself and preserving your most treasured memories can be done without much effort while having lots of fun. If you're a PC user like me, you can use Windows Movie Maker for all your video editing needs. Of course, you can't have a video without some footage (or at least some pictures). Click "Import Media" to find your clips and drag them to where you want them to appear on your timeline. Next, peruse the effects and transitions you can use by clicking on "Tools." Effects such as blur, speed up, slow down and even watercolor all can give your video a more stylized look and transitions let your video flow instead of looking like it was just cut and pasted together. If you're having issues with sound quality, consider downloading the free audio editor Audacity. It lets you alter the pitch, speed and volume of your recording and easily import it into WMM the same way you would your video clips. Of course, WMM isn't the only movie-making option available. Sony Vegas and Apple iMovie are two other types of movie-making software you can choose from. I know some people who bought a Mac specifically for iMovie's advanced movie-making abilities and others who use Sony Vegas on their PCs for its advanced audio capabilities. While some people say iMovie and Sony Vegas are more advanced than WMM, keep in mind WMM is free while iMovie and Sony Vegas are not. If you realize you have a real passion for film, consider checking out film-making programs offered by Full Sail University, the New York Film Academy and the Los Angeles Film School, among others. Maybe someday we'll even see your name in lights! Lisa Lowdermilk is a published poet, avid video gamer and artist. Her poems have appeared in Celebrate Young Poets: West (Fall 2006) edition and Widener University's The Blue Route. She enjoys watching thrillers, trying different restaurants and attempting to breakdance.

Law enforcement in the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia is the responsibility of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Headquartered in Skopje and headed by a Government-appointed Director for a four-year mandate, the Ministry's Bureau for Public Security runs the national police force. It is responsible for:
- Protecting the freedom and rights of its citizens;
- Ensuring law and order;
- Preventing, detecting and investigating crime;
- Regulating and controlling traffic;
- Controlling migration and residence of foreigners;

classy bootie!
"I love this bootie. I have been looking for a tan-colored bootie for a while and I only found the ones with either a platform or ridiculous chunky heel. Finally, I found this BCBG bootie in a DSW store and I found my tan bootie!! This is a comfortable shoe to wear to work and it looks great with leggings or a skirt or dress. The tan color also makes them work with just about any color outfit. Great purchase!"

(January 12) This week we're celebrating . . . Cuckoo Dancing Week
Cuckoo Dancing Week
Honoring the memory of the comedy team of Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy. So let the sweet, sweet sounds of "The Dancing Cuckoos" (their theme song) be heard far and wide this week!
And of course any celebration of "Stan and Ollie" just wouldn't be complete without a mention of their film Babes in Toyland. What would my childhood's Thanksgiving Day celebrations have been without the perennial viewing of Babes in Toyland in all its black and white TV glory…
And to brighten up my day (and hopefully yours) I found this trailer for the movie Babes in Toyland ! Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet! View the video after the jump.

BLM asks for public input on Special Recreation Permit applications (01-08-13)
SALIDA, Colo. – The Bureau of Land Management is seeking public input on recreational use in the Methodist Mountain and Arkansas Hills areas near Salida, so the agency can analyze three Special Recreation Permit applications for those areas.
The public is reminded that before including your address, phone number, e-mail address, or other personal identifying information in your comment, you should be aware that your entire comment—including your personal identifying information—may be made publicly available at any time. While you can ask the BLM in your comment to withhold your personal identifying information from public review, the BLM cannot guarantee that it will be able to do so.
For more information, please contact Linda Skinner, BLM Outdoor Recreation Planner at 719-269-8732 or via e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com
The number of SRP requests in Chaffee County is on the rise. The BLM attributes this increase to new non-motorized trail systems on BLM-managed lands near Salida. The RGFO has issued six recreation permits for the trail systems on BLM-managed lands in Methodist Mountain and Arkansas Hills: three have been for commercial mountain-bike guiding, and three have been for competitive events such as mountain biking and running races.
The BLM manages more than 245 million acres of public land, the most of any Federal agency. This land, known as the National System of Public Lands, is primarily located in 12 Western states, including Alaska. The BLM also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. The BLM's mission is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of Americas public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations. In Fiscal Year 2015, the BLM generated $4.1 billion in receipts from activities occurring on public lands.

By The Associated Press
JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — An inmate has pleaded guilty to participating in a deadly prison riot in Mississippi.
One guard was killed and 20 people were injured in the May 20 riot at the privately-run Adams County Correctional Facility in Natchez. The prison holds illegal immigrants convicted of crimes in the U.S.
Yoany Oriel Serrano-Bejarano pleaded guilty Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Natchez.
Serrano-Bejarano will be sentenced June 4. He faces up to 10 years in prison.
A complaint filed by an FBI agent says he assaulted a guard and helped other inmates climb onto the roof of a building where correction officer Catlin Carithers was beaten to death.

By far the most awful tires I have ever owned. Barely 18,000 miles and I have serious cracking in the sidewalls on all four tires. Pirelli will not honor the warranty citing the cracking was likely excessive curb rash. Absolute garbage, as I hardly ever park anywhere there are curbs in my usual driving places.

I don't understand why some post negative reviews because I find these to be a good all around tire. Driven to Florida and back from Toronto and found these tires to be quiet and good at handling. Driving through the Virginia mountains with all it's S curves was fun and I had no problem and felt confident taking them in curves at 140 km/h and at times even higher speeds. In snow and icy conditions, I always am careful and adjust my speed accordingly so again no problems. PS. I gave these tires perhaps an unfair low snow rating because comparing them to my Winter Bridgestone Blizzaks, they are not as good.

I'm running 245/40-18 on my 02 Maxima and I get an avg. Of 28 mpg on these, they don't hold well under fwd power load, meaning they spin easily but they are ELRR tires! They are soft compound tires and very quiet and comfortable. Not the best for PA mountain cornering but for the sunshine state FL, they are perfect as went don't have mountains or pot holes here. But everything is miles away. I bought a used set of 2 for $80 and made 16k miles on them but my control arm bushing failed and ate one tire badly. They don't make much noise when you spin them, but leave nice tread makes. If they were $40 cheaper, I'd buy a set of 4!

I once sat around in New York with a group of painters, who wanted to meet once a week and have discussions about paintings. This was in the late 70s. And I only went to one meeting, because at the end of a long discussion, it seemed to me that they were trying to make a painting in a way bullet-proof, intellectually. What you could paint was a grey square and the grey had to be a mid-grey square, painted without any expressionistic brush work. That was a minimum painting and that was a painting that you couldn't argue with. That was also a painting that didn't say anything. And I don't think that being an artist is about making yourself bullet-proof. It's about exposing yourself to attack. Being able to take it.

The Sharks showed their hunger for a Super Rugby play-offs spot with a pulsating 32-10 win over the Bulls at Kings Park in Durban.
The Sharks showed their hunger for a Super Rugby play-offs spot with a pulsating 32-10 bonus-point win over the Bulls at Kings Park in Durban on Friday.
In an enthralling contest played at a furious pace, the home side banked maximum points to keep their play-off hopes alive with just one round of the tournament remaining.
Any thoughts that the Sharks would be rusty following their bye and a four-week break prior to that, were quickly dispelled as the hosts dominated proceedings from the kick-off with powerful runs and bone-crunching hits forcing the Bulls on the backfoot.
The Sharks were rewarded with their early dominance when Bismarck du Plessis took a pass from Marcell Coetzee close to the line and the Bok hooker didn't need a second invitation as he ploughed his way over for the opening try of the match.
Frederic Michalak added the tricky conversion and the Sharks were looking good at 7-0.
It took the Bulls 15 minutes to make their way inside the Sharks half, and they made it count when Morne Steyn managed to put his side on the board with a simple penalty that closed the gap to four points.
Both teams went at it hammer and tongs, but it was the Sharks who once again held the upper hand on attack and defence. It proved too much for the Bulls as the visitors allowed the returning Francois Steyn a chance at adding three more points to his team's tally from 50m out, and the Sharks' rocket-launcher didn't disappoint.
Leading by seven points, the Sharks struck again with their second try of the match after sustained pressure on the Bulls line ended with JP Pietersen dotting down in the corner. The in-form Springbok speedster only had Bulls prop Dean Greyling to beat, as Charl McLeod went blind and fed his team-mate for a well-worked touchdown.
Once again Michalak made no mistake from out wide with the conversion attempt and the Bulls suddenly had some serious work to do after trailing 17-3.
It didn't get any better for the Bulls after Michalak slotted over a penalty from bang in front to take the Sharks into a commanding seventeen-point (20-3) lead with nine minutes of the first half to play.
The Bulls finally hit their straps and threatened to score out wide only for a try-saving tackle on Akona Ndungane denying the winger what looked like a certain try in the corner.
The Sharks went into the half-time sheds with their tails up and only 40 minutes seperated them from a crucial win to keep their finals hopes alive in the tournament.
The second half was as physical but just as gripping as the first, as the men in black came out firing after the break. And it didn't take long for the Sharks to cross the whitewash yet again when captain Keegan Daniel went over thanks to some excellent build-up work by Jannie du Plessis and Steyn.
This time Michalak was off-target with the extras, but at 25-3 the home support certainly weren't complaining.
Nerves did creep in however when Bulls full-back Zane Kirchner gave the visitors a glimmer of hope with a converted try on the 50-minute mark.
The Bulls looked the better of the two sides as the clock ticked down, but the Sharks dug deep for the all-important fourth try when full-back Louis Ludik brought the Kings Park crowd to their feet after going over in the 77th minute.
Replacement back Meyer Bosman then hammered the final nail into the visitors' coffin with his conversion to seal a memorable victory for the hosts.

Despite a pair of first half goals from Cody Morris and Dylan Butler, the Harrisburg High School soccer squad couldn't hold off Marion in a 3-2 defeat Monday at Michael Herrin Soccer Field.
"I think a 2-1 Bulldog lead going into half time really caught Marion by surprise," head coach Mike Stewart said. "The Dogs came to play soccer and our play has improved. I think we are finally getting the picture of what we need to do to get the job done.
"In the second half, Marion caught the blind side of the defensive line and took advantage of it twice to give them the equalizing goal as well as the go-ahead goal. To make the same mistake twice is a little frustrating and we should have recognized that and made the adjustment. We still had a few mistakes but overall the dogs are playing some outstanding soccer. I am very please and proud of what they are doing."
Harrisburg had six shots on goal against the Wildcats. Carver Gregg, James Curtis, Luke Horton and Morris all had one.
Ryan Cowsert took the loss in goal for the Bulldogs, allowing three goals, but making four saves in 80 minutes.

So Comfy
"I ordered this shoe as a replacement for my beloved Roxy small black buffalo. I love these because they are very comfortable, and my feet dont sweat in them. Also, they dont look too much like slippers that I am opposed to wearing them out of the house, as a lot of this style shoe tends to."

Cozy Love
"The cute herringbone wool material and the furry inner lining make these casual flats completely autumn appropriate and comfy-cozy. Perfect with leggings and a relaxed tunic for a casual-chic look. Love."
