Who School Librarians Are and Learning4Life
A Parent's Introduction to Learning4Life: National Plan for Implementation of the Standards for the 21st-Century Learner and Empowering Learners: Guidelines for School Library Programs
"The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn and relearn."
- Alvin Toffler (1990)
As educators, we are trying to teach students to be independent users of information and it is in the best interest of parents to assist in this process. One of our goals at AASL is to "prepare students for life-long learning, informed decision-making, a love of reading, and the use of information technologies" and we would like you, as a parent, to help make this possible by supporting our Learning4Life initiative.
Learning4Life (L4L) is a national implementation plan for the Standards for 21st-Century Learner and Empowering Learners: Guidelines for School Library Programs. L4L illustrates the idea that a successful school library program should contribute to formal and lifetime learning. AASL believes that these standards are necessary for success in a student's educational, professional, and personal endeavors. As school librarians it is essential for us to provide learning environments and opportunities for student success in and out of the classroom.
Many states have created curriculum content standards and benchmarks which detail the expected student outcomes throughout a student's K-12 career. There is an absence of a "library skills" content area in many of these standards. AASL, building upon its "Information Literacy Standards for Student Learning" located in Information Power: Building Partnerships for Learning (1998), has established Empowering Learners: Guidelines for School Library Programs and the Standards for the 21st-Century Learner to help shape today's school library program and integrate it into the curriculum. This is a comprehensive framework of standards and strands which delineate the skills, dispositions in action, responsibilities, and self-assessment strategies for students to be successful in a technologically-dependent world.
- Skills are the key abilities needed for understanding, learning, thinking, and mastering subjects.
- Dispositions in Action are ongoing beliefs and attitudes that guide thinking and intellectual behavior that can be measured through actions taken.
- Responsibilities refers to common behaviors used by independent learners in researching, investigating, and problem solving.
- Self-Assessment Strategies are reflections on one's own learning to determine that the skills, dispositions, and responsibilities are effective.
The position of school librarian, teacher-librarian, or library media specialist, regardless of the moniker, is synonymous with literacy. Today, our meaning of literacy exceeds that of books and encompasses all information. Technology has changed the landscape of education and schools are attempting to keep up with these changes. According to A Global Imperative: The Report of the 21st Century Literacy Summit, "A profound shift is taking place in the way people communicate and express themselves…a new concept of language – and what it means to be literate – is evolving...incorporating visual and aural elements with textual elements, and an immediacy which itself is a dimension of the new language". With so much misinformation in our data-driven society, school librarians must help the entire educational community to obtain the necessary skills to survive and thrive in the 21st century.
President Obama's educational policy is "to deliver a 21st-Century education that will prepare all children for success in the new global workplace". He aims to accomplish this task "by promoting world-class academic standards and a curriculum that fosters critical thinking, problem solving, and the innovative use of knowledge to prepare students for college and career". Many states are revising their curriculum to incorporate 21st-Century skills and there are other initiatives with common goals to that of AASL. For instance, the Partnership for 21st Century Skills possesses three areas of student outcomes including Life and Career Skills, Learning and Innovation Skills, and, most relevant to school libraries, Information, Media and Technology Skills.
Parents are the primary stakeholders in their children's education and the learning environment at school can only be successful if supported in the home. We hope you will embrace the challenge of preparing your children for life in an ever-changing, 21st-Century world by "learning, unlearning, and relearning" the same skills as your children. Why not embrace the role of lifelong educator since you will be their most important teacher? Be courageous; create a profile on a social networking site, learn to Tweet, explore Google, edit a wiki, write a blog; this is your child's world and it soon will be yours if it isn't already.

|Fantastic route and summit. A bit tricky on the approach - following the snow gully straight up, we had to negotiate a 20-foot high, wet rock step that we ended up belaying, which was quite time-consuming. On the way down we realized that there is a fairly easy way around this obstacle. Still, all in all a great day out and tremendous views!

|Gotta love Washington Pass
Date Climbed: Aug 27, 2011
|8.24: Despite protests, started late (14.40ish?) to do the Beckey route. Enjoyable, but coming from Cali, almost didn't seem worth it (yes, I know the 1st ascent history) compared to what we were used to- climbing time was comparable to the approach/descent time. Whatever- have had worse approaches, climb was fun, we were in the beautiful North Cascades, and we had the most beautiful sunset I'd experienced in Washington that night. Great climb!
8.27: W/ Faith again. Like an alpine Yosemite big wall in foreign territory. Rock (solid granite) was familiar, but snowfield approach added to the allure (shots from above looked like they were straight out of Alpinist; well, maybe not, but you get the idea). Climb not as hard or sustained as what I was used to in the Valley, but regardless- great climbing, exposure, and views! Due to our less-than-F1 pace, we bivied at the spacious ledge below P8. As a result (despite Faith's f&%$ed-up eye, due to her leaving her contacts in, in spite of my warning that we could very well spend the night somewhere on the wall), we had a comparatively "relaxing" (speaking for myself) day after the main climbing day. Views from the top were grand, descent mild, peaches from generous WA climbers at the parking lot delicious, and beer in Winthrop great. Best climb in the North Cascades (so far, at least)!

Herbs provide an aromatic flavor to chicken served with tasty onion sauce – a perfect slow cooked dinner.
Those fresh little pearl onions can be time-consuming to peel, so using the frozen thawed ones saves you a lot of time. If you don't have pearl onions in the freezer, you can slice and use a large yellow or white onion.
Serve all that wonderfully flavored sauce spooned over the chicken legs. Tuck a perky sprig of fresh tarragon or rosemary next to the chicken, or sprinkle a little chopped fresh parsley over the top for that special touch.

Epinephrine Autoinjector Shortage Predicted After Recall »
"An estimated half a million epinephrine autoinjectors are coming off the market. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is advising patients to call their doctor for an alternative, but some say there won't be enough supply to meet the demand."...
Read the Epinephrine Autoinjector Shortage Predicted After Recall article »
(Generic versions may still be available.)
Signs and symptoms of overdosage with promethazine HCl range from mild depression of the central nervous system and cardiovascular system to profound hypotension, respiratory depression, and unconsciousness, and sudden death. Other reported reactions include hyperreflexia, hypertonia, ataxia, athetosis, and extensor-plantar reflexes (Babinski reflex).
Stimulation may be evident, especially in children and geriatric patients. Convulsions may rarely occur. A paradoxical-type reaction has been reported in children receiving single doses of 75 mg to 125 mg orally, characterized by hyperexcitability and nightmares.
Atropine-like signs and symptoms-dry mouth, fixed, dilated pupils, flushing, as well as gastrointestinal symptoms-may occur.
Treatment of overdosage is essentially symptomatic and supportive. Only in cases of extreme overdosage or individual sensitivity do vital signs, including respiration, pulse, blood pressure, temperature, and EKG, need to be monitored. Activated charcoal orally or by lavage may be given, or sodium or magnesium sulfate orally as a cathartic. Attention should be given to the reestablishment of adequate respiratory exchange through provision of a patent airway and institution of assisted or controlled ventilation. Diazepam may be used to control convulsions. Acidosis and electrolyte losses should be corrected. Note that any depressant effects of promethazine HCl are not reversed by naloxone. Avoid analeptics, which may cause convulsions.
The treatment of choice for resulting hypotension is administration of intravenous fluids, accompanied by repositioning if indicated. In the event that vasopressors are considered for the management of severe hypotension that does not respond to intravenous fluids and repositioning, the administration of norepinephrine or phenylephrine should be considered. EPINEPHRINE SHOULD NOT BE USED, since its use in patients with partial adrenergic blockade may further lower the blood pressure. Extrapyramidal reactions may be treated with anticholinergic antiparkinsonian agents, diphenhydramine, or barbiturates. Oxygen may also be administered.
Limited experience with dialysis indicates that it is not helpful.
Phenergan (Promethazine HCl) Suppositories are contraindicated for use in pediatric patients less than two years of age.
Phenergan (Promethazine HCl) Suppositories are contraindicated in comatose states, and in individuals known to be hypersensitive or to have had an idiosyncratic reaction to promethazine or to other phenothiazines.
Antihistamines are contraindicated for use in the treatment of lower respiratory tract symptoms including asthma.This monograph has been modified to include the generic and brand name in many instances.

Western Sahara Population: 538,811
|« Previous Country | Next Country »
|Western Sahara is a disputed territory on the northwest coast of Africa bordered by Morocco, Mauritania, and Algeria. After Spain withdrew from its former colony of Spanish Sahara in 1976, Morocco annexed the northern two-thirds of Western Sahara and claimed the rest of the territory in 1979, following Mauritania's withdrawal. A guerrilla war with the Polisario Front contesting Morocco's sovereignty ended in a 1991 cease-fire and the establishment of a UN peacekeeping operation. As part of this effort, the UN sought to offer a choice to the peoples of the Western Sahara between independence (favored by the Polisario Front) or integration into Morocco. A proposed referendum never took place due to lack of agreement on voter eligibility. The 2,700 km- (1,700 mi-) long defensive sand berm, built by the Moroccans from 1980 to 1987 and running the length of the territory, continues to separate the opposing forces with Morocco controlling the roughly 80 percent of the territory west of the berm. Ethnic tensions in Western Sahara occasionally erupt into violence requiring a Moroccan security force response.

Western Sahara has a small market-based economy whose main industries are fishing, phosphate mining, and pastoral nomadism. The territory's arid desert climate makes sedentary agriculture difficult, and Western Sahara imports much of its food. The Moroccan Government administers Western Sahara's economy and is a key source of employment, infrastructure development, and social spending in the territory. Western Sahara''s unresolved legal status makes the exploitation of its natural resources a contentious issue between Morocco and the Polisario. Morocco and the EU in July 2006 signed a four-year agreement allowing European vessels to fish off the coast of Morocco, including the disputed waters off the coast of Western Sahara, but this agreement was terminated in 2011. Oil has never been found in Western Sahara in commercially significant quantities, but Morocco and the Polisario have quarreled over who has the right to authorize and benefit from oil exploration in the territory. Western Sahara''s main long-term economic challenge is the development of a more diverse set of industries capable of providing greater employment and income to the territory.

Plane Politics
Why It Matters
Could the contrails from airplanes be directly affecting the weather outside?
Scientists have established the effect that cloud cover has on the local weather. Clouds can act as reflectors of the sun's energy or act as a trap for the heat that has already made it to the Earth. What about the contrails from an airplane? Are they contributing to this phenomenon?
Scientists have had a difficult time researching this question because there are constantly planes in the air. For the three days following September 11th when all planes were grounded, scientists had the opportunity to pursue this question and they took full advantage of it!
Check it out: http://www.wired.com/science/discoveries/news/2002/05/52512
Explore More
- Use NOAA's site (http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/fgz/science/contrail.php?wfo=fgz) to answer the following questions:
- What is a contrail?
- How do they form?
- How are they similar to clouds?
- Like all scientific research, there are always other perspectives. Not all scientists are in agreement that the change in temperature is directly correlated with the jet contrails. Use the following articles that challenge the presented argument for jet contrails affecting the climate (and any additional research that you would like to do) to formulate your own perspective on this topic.
- Design an experiment to help confirm your stance on this debate. What type of data would you need to collect? What kind of model could you create to simulate the effects of jet contrails?

Pleural fluid culture is a test that looks at a sample of fluid from the space around the lungs to see if you have an infection.
Culture - pleural fluid
A sample of pleural fluid is needed. For information on how this is taken, see: Thoracentesis
The sample is sent to a laboratory and examined under a microscope for signs of infection.
For information on how the test will feel, see: Thoracentesis
Your doctor may order this test if you have signs of a certain infection, or if a chest x-ray shows you have too much fluid in space around the lungs.
A normal result means no bacteria, virus, or fungi were seen in the test sample.
Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
Abnormal results may indicate:

Yep, old news. But according to Rebelscum and other websites, they won't be showing up until likely December. Especially since September has been over a few months. By the way, the R5-D4 may not actually be R5-D4. The R5 unit from the Star Tours ride is actually R5-DL.

Thanks JarJarBinks.
Just hope they will use the mold to make the announced SAGA-ANH R5-D4...
- "I've never understood Walt Disney".
Howard Philip Lovecraft.
Man, where's the freakin' pictures of these things already!? I've been sweating over this R5-D4 for what seems like months. I'm terrified they'll try to re-use the POTF R5 retooled but srtil with that dumb azz masive heeead. I just have these visions of being in a yoystore and not finding anything other than aisle aftyer enldless aisle of POTF R5-D4 repackaged. No other toys of any description just the dumb crappy resculpt.
I just need to see the pics so i know it's a new figure, same cool R2 body they've been using a while now but with a new head that's the right scale and has the right details. I don't care if it's got the two eyes and they call it R5-D4 or whether they get the three eyes right, i just want an accurate R5 droid. And i want to know what the other two look like two, what the hell is SK-Z38 and will G2-9T look similar to G2-4T? what the hell are hasbro trying to do hold out on the pictures until all the toys have sold out? SHOW ME THE PICTURES ALREADY!!! I should stop drinking coffee now.................
No fear of a POTF2 re-hash figure !
They said months ago (at the last ToyFair if I remember well) they (Hasbro) plans to make a new R5-D4 with a new mold. The same time, they anounced they surely will make a "rebody" of the Cloud Car to be a store exclusive (POTJ). Today we are almost sure the Cloud Car will finaly see the light spring 2003. Then it seems logical to expect the ANH R5-D4 soon.
I also remember they answered my questions about the delayed figures (on the Rebelsum Q&A to Hasbro managers) : "we were these past few weeks focused on the AOTC toys then we haven't much time to do other things).
They also talked about the Sandcrawler (10 months ago) and about a new Tie Fighter with big wings...
- "I've never understood Walt Disney".
Howard Philip Lovecraft.
heheh coffee rush always gets me hyped up. If i remember that Q&A session hasbro said they wanted to try and get a tie fighter out with new wings. I know it's been rumored for 2003 but quite honestly i think you could just randomly pick characters for release in the future and post it and everyone would take it as gospel. I actualy tried that as an experiment once. posted a list of rumored figures and slipped one in that I just thought soundded nice. Then i went to a few sites and saw the same thing listed as fact somewhere. Just shows how people put too much faith in the internet. Anyway, I hope the R5 is all new, I hope it actually gets a december release and doesn't get pushed back like a lot of stuff recently. If it gets a december release I might have a chance of finding one online in january. I plan on getting five R5 droids, one to keep as is and four for customing. One imperial, two rebel, one Mos Eisley, and one sale of the droids true. The rebel ones would be the white one with the black head and there's a white one with maroon markings in the rebel briefing scene of ROTJ that I fancy doing. The Mos Eisley one would be the orange yellow one. But then I could get more and do the one from the Naboo royal starship, The mauve one from Coruscant in AOTC, Then there's more rebel astro droids from ANH, a red and black one and I think there's a dark green one. Proportionatly i have more astro droids now than any other type of figure, I'm well on my way to having a total droid army. The droids will rule I'm tellin' ya!
Doesn't alter the fact that there's stil no pics of the figgies though.
I'm a bit concerned that the year's almost up and we haven't even seen pics of these guys yet. I haven't seen any sales figures, and I doubt anyone else has either, but I'm fairly certain the Star Tours line sold very well. Hopefully, the last 3 will actually be made, but they've seem to completely fallen off the map in the past month or so.
This Auction says they'll be released December 1st. I don't believe everything I read on E-bay, but at least it gives us some hope.
Eh, for someone without a pic of the actual figures. I'd surely take the date listed in that auction with a salt lick - not just a grain.
If or when they produce the cloud car...will they have the foresight to give us two pilots or will we have to wait a few years to get a carded second figure?

Life Lessons: Financial bootcamp for kids
At just 13-years-old, Andrew Swenson is learning about the stock market at a Future Investors Club of America camp for kids.
Lisa Swenson supports her son's hobby, which may lead to a career in the future.
"I think that this is really his chosen path," Swenson said.
With pens in hand, business attire, and sharp answers, the campers are ready to turn their hobby into something more.
"We'll have some millionaires. We'll have some who are relatively financially successful," Camp Director Frank Parks explained.
A lack of girls at his camp is a common theme, which the camp leaders hope to change.
"There is a huge market for females to get into the financial services industry," Parks said.
The Yang sisters both say they may be interested in careers in math.
"It can be fun and interesting at the same time," Roslyn Yang said.
Financial expert Kathy Boyle said it's never too early to teach your kids about money.
She has three tips for parents: talk to your kids about the value of money, teach them what credit is, and educate them about investing.
The kids at the Future Investors Club of America camp seem to understand those basics.
"I don't spend a lot," Andrew Swenson said.
Experts said even habits not directly related to money can impact your child's future financial success.
Teaching them how to maintain and nurture long-lasting relationships, the importance of detail-oriented work, and even the love of learning can help children be financially smarter as an adult.
Like a majority of high-paying, high-pressure jobs in America, women have historically been discriminated against in the financial world.
A Bureau of Labor survey found that less than a third of financial advisers are women; the last census estimated 50.8 percent of the American population to be women.
Yet, a survey by investment firm Edward Jones found two-thirds of Americans believe the financial services industry is the hardest industry to break into for women.
Financial clout of women
According to the Federal Reserve, in 2010 women controlled 51.3 percent of all of the wealth in the country, and that number is expected to rise to 66 percent by the year 2020.
Women totaled $13 trillion in earnings in 2010, and $20 trillion in spending.
Yet again, despite these numbers, only 11 percent of women said they prefer to work with a woman financial adviser.
Studies have shown women generally make more prudent decisions and provide consistently higher yields on funds they manage.

Renovations are on tap for two popular destinations in Tupelo: Dick's Sporting Goods and Red Lobster.
• At Dick's Sporting Goods, which opened in The Mall at Barnes Crossing in 2009, the bulk of the work will be replacing 4,300 square feet of flooring.
There also will be some electrical work, and new track lighting installed.
• At Red Lobster, plans call for a renovation of the interior and the exterior.
New seating with new looks are on tap, and it looks like the exterior will get a remodeling, too.
No word on when the work begins at either location.

Kitsch Kanab and Zion

We arrived at our motel, Quail Lodge, and we were dead happy with our choice (another tripadvisor favourite). The motel was a very kitsch, 1950's, roadside building that had been recently done-up. The beds were so comfortable and we had one each! We ate out at a really nice 1950's diner too, The Rewind. Kanab seemed like a really great place to stay for a couple of nights and it made a refreshing change be staying in a nice little town away from the dust of the desert
23/10/2209 - We woke up in the morning and enjoyed the free doughnuts and pastries (and Earl Grey tea!), that the motel provided for breakfast. We had hoped to stay another night at Quail Lodge, but they were fully booked, so we checked out and drove down the road to another 1950s motel, Parry Lodge. We reserved a room and then drove on to Zion National Park. Two couples we had met during our travels had both said we had to visit the park, so we had high expectations. We approached the park from the east along Rroute 9, which has to be one of the most beautiful drives in the states. It was stunning. At the park entrance we had to pay $25.00 to enter, which we thought was s bit steep, but does cover you for 7 days (although we were only visiting for one). Once in the park, you have to park your car and catch a shuttle bus that travels up and down the canyon with various drop off points. At first we thought this was s bit annoying as we had planned to drive around ourselves, but we soon realised it was a great idea. The park receives over 3 million visitors a year, and before the introduction of the shuttle bus, the traffic queues were a nightmare.
As we only had a few hours to capture the best of the park, we took the bus to the top of the canyon, where there was riverside trail
During our walk we saw some rock climbers who were ascending the cliff walls thousands of feet up, what an incredible sight. We also saw lots of deer and even a bald eagle soaring around the canyon (see video). After a few hours, we reluctantly caught the bus back down to the car. There are numerous walks and hikes to be done within the park and you could literally spend a whole week there and still not see all there is to see. It certainly was as beautiful as we had been promised. We returned back to our motel weary, but relaxed by the memories of beautiful Zion Canyon.

|The Quintessential Trout Trout angling is the core of flyfishing worldwide.
|Topic Review (Newest First)
RE:North Country Salmon
Good idea... many of us will need desalinization pretty soon!
When will the spring fishery decline, then hows the fall?
RE:North Country Salmon
The lead ban is actually just for the lakes and ponds, although we were trying to honor it in the rivers as well. The problem was that all small tin shot is apparently backordered throughout the state. In the river mouths the sink tip systems would be fine, but in the pools you are rarely fishing more than the leader and a few feet of line, so you are really relying on that weight a foot or two above the fly to get your line down out of the current.
It is amazing how quickly the water levels fluctuate in those damned (as in below the dam, not the curse word) rivers. A few sunny days with no rain or releases and the level would have been fine.
NH is now taking camping reservations. It's a long trip but could have potential as a site for a future gathering for likeminded trout and salmon heads...
RE:North Country Salmon
Jeff -
After reading your report I realize I don't get up there often enough. In fact I haven't been up there since moving out west. Other than the weather and river levels, it sounds like the classic north country fishing experience.
Would sinktips fished with attractor deep patterns have helped out with your lead jones? I tend to favor lead bans myself, although the indicator / nymph method probably calls for it on occasion.
In any case I tend to forget just how much we have right here in New England. Thanks for the report!
North Country Salmon
Just returned from four days in the CT Lakes region of New Hampshire trout and salmon fishing. I guess MA isn't the only place tht has had a cold spring and nothing but rain. The water was the highest I'd ever seen, making the fishing a bear.
Still, as the weather improved and the water receeded, we managed to get a few nice rainbows and salmon each day on streamers and big bead heads. Tough to get a fly down with the lead ban though.
The rainbows that leave the lakes and swim up the raging currents into the pools of the river are strong as bluefish and make for some great fights.
Most of the land locked Atlantics we got this year were small, 12-16", but when they jump four feet in the air 5 or 6 times, the size matters less and less. I guess we missed the smelt run this year by about a week, so the salmon were all on bead heads.
Unfortunately, the fishing pressure was heavier than ever. This seems to be the case everywhere I go, fresh or salt.
The last day i left, someone took a 3+ pound 21" brookie in one of the small feeder streams. Man oh man, how I wish that had been me.

Chang, Y-F. and Carman, G.M.
Notes: Opi1p is a transcriptional repressor that regulates phospholipid synthesis in yeast. Opi1p activity is regulated by protein kinase C (PKC) and cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA). This study investigates the role of casein kinase II (CaMK II) in regulation of Opi1p activity. PKC and PKA were used in phosphorylation studies to determine how specific mutations within Opi1p affect phosphorylation. (3536)

Choi, M-G., Kurnov, V., Kersting, M.C., Sreenivas, A., and Carman, G.M.
Notes: In this study, the authors investigated the role of Protein Kinase C in the phosphorylation of choline kinase, which is thought to play a role in the generation of human tumors. cAMP-Dependent Protein Kinase, Catalytic Subunit, and Protein Kinase C were used in phosphorylation reactions of pure choline kinase, immunoprecipitated choline kinase and choline kinase synthetic peptides. (3507)
Zhang, B., Zhang, Y., and Shacter, E.
Notes: Researchers used Promega's cAMP-Dependent Protein Kinase Peptide Inhibitor to demonstrate that BAD kinase is phosphorylated through a cAMP-Dependent Protein Kinase (PKA) dependent pathway in Burkitt's lymphoma BL-41 cells. The PepTag® Non-Radioactive cAMP-Dependent Protein Kinase Assay was used to demonstrate PKA activity in BL-41 cell lysates. In these experiments the researchers added cAMP with and without Promega's cAMP-Dependent Protein Kinase Peptide Inhibitor (20μM) or Rp-cAMPS (100μM) to 0.2-2ug of BL-41 cell lysate. Images of gels were depicted in the paper. (3134)

Notes: The Serine-Threonine Phosphatase Assay System was used to monitor dephosphorylation of two phosphopeptides derived from the SCR homeodomain. Dephosphorylation was performed using the catalytic subunit of the PP2A protein. Authors also used pSI for cloning, protein kinase A enzyme, PKA and PKC assays using biotinylated peptides (SignaTECT® Protein Kinase assay systems), anti-β-galactosidase for Drosophila embryo staining, and TNT® Quick Coupled Transcription/Translation systems to produce mutant and wild type protein for gel shifts.

Notes: Immunoprecipitates of CFTR become phosphorylated upon addition of a PKA catalytic subunit which is inhibitable by the Protein Kinase A Inhibitor Peptide. The SignaTECT® cAMP-Dependent Protein Kinase Assay System was used to measure PKA activity in immunoprecipitates of the CFTR protein. The activity was almost totally inhibited by the Protein Kinase A Inhibitor Peptide. PKA activity was four times higher with the anti-CFTR antibody precipitates than with a control antibody and addition of cAMP increased the amount of phosphorylation observed in the immunoprecipitates. Immunoprecipitates were prepared from Calu-3 human airway epithelia cells. (0318)

This small church is another possible site for the room that the Last Supper was held in and contains a Christian stone inscription testifying to early reverence for that spot.
Certainly the room they have is older than that of the Coenaculum (crusader - twelfth century) and as the room is now underground the relative altitude is correct (the streets of first century Jerusalem were at least twelve feet, or 3.6 metres, lower than those of today, so any true building of that time would have even its upper storey currently under the earth). They also have a revered Icon of the Virgin Mary, reputedly painted from life by St. Luke.

Large entries have us evaluating our time management practices at Hunt Test. What are some of the things your club(s) is doing to make the best use of the time during a Hunt Test?
Some of our little things that we (Carolinas Retriever Association) do:
*Request that Judges visit Friday afternoon to establish first series set ups. Have everything in place for a prompt 8:00 Saturday morning start.
*On Friday, also ask Master Judges to consider the set ups for the second and third series. We did this at our last test and we had a crew setting up the second series prior to completion of the first series. Likewise for the third series. Everything including line equipment was waiting on judgers and handlers to move over. We felt this saved us 2 hours.
*Have bird boys arrive a little early and make sure to have a winger for an orientation/safety class. Some bird boys will be new and a few tips will prevent several "no birds" during the day.
*Make sure stake box check list have been gone over. The inevitable "We need poppers at Junior" will cost minutes.
*Never have 2 inexperienced gunners shooting flyers without guidance. Split up experience levels.
*Make sure the bird steward has lighting, their job starts before day. Also make sure the bird steward has a good count of birds needed for each stake. This number should be written on a note card . They need to be bagged and placed at appropriate winger stations for your prompt start.
*Have the Lunch delivery person coordinate with the Marshals of various stakes to see when would be best time for a lunch break. Rebirds and series shifts are time saving opportunities.
*Make sure signs and other location communications are clear so handlers aren't touring the back roads while you are waiting for them at the line.
* Try to pre-plan potty breaks with bird boys. Carry as many as possible to the potty during lunch or during re-birds so that you don't have to carry them individually every hour .
*ATV's and/or UTV's at each stake are a bonus.
*The marshal of a soon to be completed test should notify the hunt test secretary and make them aware of the approximate time left on their stake. If the HTS is running a dog, with proper notice, they can make arrangements to be at HQ to meet judges and prepare ribbons.
I may think of more and will add them if I do. I'm looking forward to hearing some of the things ya'll do so that we might incorporate them into our next test!
It's 8:00........Guns Up!

Yak Gear Yak Stick Mud Anchor
Anchor effortlessly in shallow water with the Yak Gear Yak Stick Mud Anchor. Features a "T-Handle" that fits the paddlers hand, the Yak Stick is easily deployed by sticking the pointed end into the mud. The soft foam grip allows easy handing and comfort during use while effortlessly connecting to a Yak Gear "ClickNGo Leash" through the stainless steel shackle.
The Yak Stick from Yak Gear does not float. It's designed so that if you walk away from your kayak with it anchored and a wake or wave pulls the stick out. The stick will drop to the bottom and hopefully catch a stump or rock and stick in place. By also making it solid rather than hollow, the Yak Stick will be easier to deploy on hard bottoms or even through oyster shell or gravel. Yak Stick anchors come with pole clip minis and stainless steel hardware for mounting the anchor to the boat while not in use.
• Yak stick size - 6 Feet
• T handle offers a comfortable grip while anchoring and can also be turned over and used as a push pole
• Mini pole clips provided for easy storage when not in use
• Includes all necessary hardware
• Works for anchoring of any kayak, canoe or even small boat up to 16 feet long

At CartoonNetwork.com you can vote for
a hammerhead
a wolfman
a Talz (Muftak's species)
to be the featured Jedi in one of next year's Clone Wars cartoons.
This thread is to discuss the merits of each of our choices.
I haven't made up my mind myself, just yet. Giving the Shistavanen Wolfman justice after he was cut out of ANH seems right to me. Plus he's fast and furious, and in cartoons, would remind me of Senior Coyote. He'll need a roadrunning Geonosian to chase around for an opponent! Beep-Beep! (heheheh)
On the other hand, a Talz Jedi would be very powerful.
Seeing an Ithorian just move, would also be fascinating.
What do you guys think?

Alternate name: Black Birch, Cherry Birch
Family: Betulaceae, Birch view all from this family
Description Native to eastern North America, from southern Maine west to southernmost Ontario, and south in the Appalachian Mountains to northern Georgia.
It is a medium-sized deciduous tree reaching 20 m tall with a trunk up to 60 cm diameter. In younger trees the bark is characteristic of most Birches with smooth bark and horizontal fissures. It can sometimes be mistakenly identified as a Cherry tree. In some older tree specimens the bark can (unlike most birches)develop vertical cracks into irregular scaly plates revealing rough darkish brown bark patterns. This however, does not occur in all specimens. The twigs, when scraped, have a strong scent of oil of wintergreen. The leaves are alternate, ovate, 5-10 cm long and 4-8 cm broad, with a finely serrated margin. The flowers are wind-pollinated catkins 3-6 cm long, the male catkins pendulous, the female catkins erect. The fruit, maturing in fall, is composed of numerous tiny winged seeds packed between the catkin bracts.
Habitat Mountains.
Range New England, Mid-Atlantic, Great Lakes, Southeast, Eastern Canada.

By DSU press release
CLEVELAND – Delta State University Department of Intercollegiate Athletics announced the hiring of Todd Cooley as the 19th head coach in Statesmen football history on Friday, Jan. 25. Cooley will be introduced to the campus and community at a press conference on Monday, Jan. 28 at 11 a.m. inside the Simmons Room of the Hugh Ellis Walker Alumni House. The public is invited to attend.
"We are excited to add Todd Cooley to the Delta State University family," said Ronnie Mayers, interim director of athletics. "Coach Cooley has coached at all levels of football and brings with him a knowledge of the Gulf South Conference and NCAA DII. As a student-athlete at Arkansas Tech and as a coach at ATU, Central Arkansas and Ouachita Baptist, DSU competed regularly against coach Cooley and now we are proud to have him as one of our own. We encourage everyone to come out Monday at 11 a.m. to the Alumni House as we welcome him to Delta State."
Known as one of the top offensive coordinators in the country, Cooley brings his high-octane system to Delta State after serving as the offensive coordinator at Northwestern Louisiana State University (2009-2012), University of Central Arkansas (2005-2008) and Arkansas Tech University (2004).
In three years running the NSU offense, Cooley's established the Demons as one of the top units in the Southland Conference. In 2012 under Cooley's tutelage Brad Henderson finished the season ranked seventh in the SLC with 181-of-330 passes completed for 1,874 yards with 14 touchdowns and only four interceptions. The Demons averaged 24.1 points per game and ranked fifth in the league in scoring.
Cooley's explosive offenses at Central Arkansas lit up scoreboards around the Southland Conference in 2007-08 and during his four seasons with the Bears as offensive coordinator and quarterback coach. In that time (2005-08), UCA posted an overall 35-13 record, including an 11-3 SLC mark in the Bears' first two years (2007-08) as an NCAA Division I FCS member.
In 2008, Cooley's offense at UCA scored 40 points or more in seven of 12 games. The Bears had six receivers make 23 or more catches, four with 35 or more receptions.
In 2007-08, Cooley's offense averaged 445 yards and 35.4 points per game. In his last season at UCA, the Bears went 10-2, 6-1 in the SLC, led the conference with a 37.5 scoring average and a 48 percent third-down conversion rate.
In 2007-08, the Bears threw for 57 touchdowns and completed 68 percent of their 804 passes with only 14 interceptions — just four in 400 pass attempts in 2008. UCA ran for 47 touchdowns and 4.2 yards per carry in his last two years. In their first two seasons of full-fledged Division I competition in 2007-08, the Bears averaged 287 passing yards and 157 on the ground while making only 32 turnovers in 23 games.
Cooley helped his alma mater, Arkansas Tech, and UCA to reach the NCAA Division II playoffs in back-to-back seasons in 2004-05. He spent one season at Arkansas Tech, and in 2004 he restructured the Wonder Boys offense from a unit averaging 18.4 points per game in 2003 to a squad that averaged 32.2 per game. Arkansas Tech went 10-2 and became the first Arkansas school to host and win a Division II playoff game.
He was hired at UCA the following February and promptly helped the Bears win the 2005 Gulf States Conference championship and they went on to reach the Division II playoff quarterfinals.
Cooley was also quarterbacks coach from 2001-03 at Ouachita Baptist University for former DSU head coach Todd Knight, quarterbacks and receivers coach in 2000 at Northeastern Oklahoma for a Lone Star Conference championship team that reached the Division II playoffs, and running backs coach in 1998-99 at Arkansas Tech, helping the Wonder Boys win the 1999 Gulf South Conference title.
At UCA, he coached record-shattering quarterback Nathan Brown, the 2008 SLC Player of the Year and the 2007 SLC Offensive Player of the Year. Brown was invited to play in the 2009 Senior Bowl, and is now coaching at UCA. He also coached a record-setting passer at Arkansas Tech in 2004, an All-Lone Star Conference quarterback in 2000 at Northeast Oklahoma and the 1999 Gulf South Conference Offensive Player of the Year at Arkansas Tech.
As a player, Cooley set 13 school records at quarterback for Arkansas Tech in 1996-97 and was a finalist for the 1997 Harlon Hill Trophy presented to the most outstanding player in NCAA Division II. He was also Academic All-GSC in 1997 and was named to the Daktronics All-Region Team in 1997.
At Nashville (Ark.) High School, he was an all-state passer for coach Billy Laird. In 1993, Cooley's senior year, the Scrappers became the first NHS team to reach the state championship game as Cooley broke state single-season passing record by throwing for over 2,300 yards.
Born September 7, 1975, Cooley married the former Lisa Gatlin of Conway, Ark., on July 16, 2005. His parents are Don and Lynne Cooley, who reside in Nashville, Ark. Cooley's father is a longtime Arkansas high school football coach and his mother is a reading specialist for the state of Arkansas. Cooley has two younger sisters, Paige Fisher of Russellville, Ark., and Kristi Simms of Natchitoches.

The painting is mentioned with an attribution to Caroselli in the inventory of the collection of Cardinal Flavio Chigi, which was drawn up in 1693. The work remained in Palazzo Chigi even after 1918, when the building and the collection of works of art it contained were purchased by the Italian State. It was published by Ottani Cavina in 1965, but it reached the Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Antica in Palazzo Barberini only in 1994 upon special request by the Commissione per la Ricognizione Patrimoniale, which was set up to retrieve works of art owned by the State and used as interior decoration in public offices and institutions.
The attribution to Angelo Caroselli in the late 17th-century inventory was verified after restoration, which clearly revealed the "AC" monogram on the saddle of the donkey at the left. As for the subject, the original inventory described it as a "landscape with four figures — one is the Madonna, seated, with the Child in her arms and a straw hat on her head talking with a woman, and some sheep", thus making no explicit reference to a rest on the flight into Egypt. It is in fact true that the scene does not take up the traditional imagery of the evangelical event, since it also contains details and figures, some of which are taken from the apocrypha, and from the "Pseudo Matthew" in particular. The woman kneeling at the centre of the picture is shown offering the Child some cherries, a fruit symbolising the reward for virtue, and alluding to paradise. The apocrypha tells of the presence of Salome, Jesus' nurse, and the woman in the painting, even though still young, may indeed be her. At the left of the central scene, in the middle ground, Joseph is being helped by an angel to gather some fruit in his cloak. The detail, like the stream at the foot of the painting which leads off to the sheep drinking from it, alludes to the tale of the "Pseudo Matthew", describing the miracle of the palm (the leaves of which symbolise martyrdom) which, in the presence of Jesus, bends down to offer its dates to the Family during their rest, while a spring gushes forth from the foot of the trunk (Vodret 1996, pp. 130–34).

Swords into Plowshares is the blog of the Peacemaking Program and the Presbyterian Ministry at the United Nations of the Presbyterian Mission Agency of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.).
Seeking peace. Striving for justice. Together.
Presbyterian World Mission encourages all PC(USA) members to engage in prayer and fasting November 17 and 18, 2012, in solidarity with our sisters and brothers in the Church of Central Africa Presbyterian (CCAP) in a time of difficulties in that church. The CCAP has five synods spanning Malawi, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. The CCAP has not held a General Assembly since 2007 for a number of reasons. This dysfunction has been a matter of concern for many.
Presbyterian World Mission encourages all Presbyterians to uphold the CCAP in prayer on Saturday and Sunday November 17 and 18, 2012. Pray for each of the five synods – Blantyre, Harare, Livingstonia, Nkhoma and Zambia – that God may bless them with vision, discernment and a heart for unity and shared witness that can overcome any differences.

Infrared Motion Detectors
Infrared motion detectors are critical to any home security system, but most security kits only come equipped with one. If you want to maximize your system, it pays to invest in at least two or three additional motion detectors for inside and outside the house. HomeSecurityStore.com is proud to offer a wide selection of high-quality motion infrared motion detectors for every major system.
The Science of Infrared
An IR motion detector uses a sensor to detect the infrared radiation produced by body heat. This kind of heat can be detected, but not seen by the human eye. The technology is extremely accurate, and makes it virtually impossible for criminals to slip into a secure environment undetected.
Preventing False Alarms
Heat alone isn't sufficient to trigger an alarm. The most advanced IR motion detectors only trigger an alarm when the detected heat has the correct temperature, motion, and timing associated with an intruder, thus safeguarding against false alarms. This means the detector will reject false alarms caused by spot temperature changes such as small to medium sized animals, air conditioners, or moving curtains. At HomeSecurityStore.com, our IR motion detectors are not only extremely advanced, but also easy to install.
Situating Your Motion Detector
The placement of your infrared motion detectors is just as important as the selection you make. Of course, your detectors should be placed in vulnerable areas both downstairs and upstairs (assuming you have a two-story house). However, there are other areas of the home that you may not have considered, including the corner of the house leading to the stairway, and in front of the stairway itself. This will enable you to protect the area leading to the second floor and into specific bedrooms.
A Variety of Options
When a presence is detected, most IR motion detectors send a signal to the control panel to trigger the alarm. But some detectors are equipped with their own alarms, and many will sound an alarm whenever someone tries to tamper with the mechanism.
Order Today
HomeSecurityStore.com offers the best prices on the most sophisticated infrared motion detectors, and we also offer same-day shipping. So order yours today, and take advantage of the superior deals only found at HomeSecurityStore.com.

A lot of people are afraid of heights. Not me, I'm afraid of widths.
favourite are woodies.
Its fun to see how the geography determines the answers. We can walk out and shoot 3 wood ducks on the waterway any day here. The drakes are still beautiful, but once you tend to treasure the ducks you rarely get.
For us in Mississippi, that would include Canvasbacks, Redheads, Pintail... all around, but not real common!

Any doctrine that weakens personal responsibility for judgment and for action helps create the attitudes that welcome and support the totalitarian state.

Associate yourself with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation; for 'tis better to be alone than in bad company.

Gig'em Aggies!! BTCO'77HOO t.u.!!
Drake mallard is my favorite but a pintail is a close second
If you are talking about one that is on my bucket list it would be a Harlequin. If you are talking about one that I have killed before it would have to be a pintail.
Spoonbill! Cause if you miss on the first pass they always come back for a second look!!

Conference planned on Internet regulation, May 29
Posted May 13, 2002; 08:22 p.m.
A conference on "The Future of Internet Regulation: Open Access, Private Rights and Public Values" will be presented Wednesday, May 29, in the Frist Campus Center Multipurpose Room by the Program in Law and Public Affairs .
The conference will bring together leading lawyers, policymakers and academics to discuss legal responses to the Internet age. It will run from 9 a.m. to 5:15 p.m.
Over the last decade, the Internet has transformed our way of life, bringing with it some legal challenges. Judges, legislators and attorneys must wrestle with questions about how to secure personal rights of privacy and ownership while also capitalizing on the promise of new opportunities to improve the public's access to information.
The conference is organized into four panels: "The Architecture of the Internet," "Fair Use and the Internet," "Filtering and Content Regulation" and "Privacy, Surveillance and the Internet." The panels are designed to inspire discussion and audience involvement. Speakers will make brief remarks and then respond to questions and comments from the audience and their fellow panelists.
Space is limited; those interested should register online by Monday, May 20.
Contact: Marilyn Marks (609) 258-3601

Enjoy the flavors of pork, ramen noodles and fresh veggies in this done-in-a-flash stir-fry.
The tenderloin is considered the choicest of pork cuts. Although higher in price per pound than loin roast, tenderloin is a good value because it is lean and has no waste.
This is the perfect place to use a bag of chopped broccoli flowerets. Or buy broccoli flowerets from the salad bar section of your supermarket.
Play with the colors in this ten-minute recipe. Use cauliflower instead of broccoli and green or yellow bell peppers instead of red.
Remember this recipe the next time you have leftover pork.

DetailsSpornette Touche Boar Reinforced Bristle Rounder Brush 2.25 Inch
Having short-to-medium length hair has its advantages and its disadvantages. One of the latter is the challenges associated with trying new styles. Worry no more, because BigDaddyBeauty.com has you covered with the Spornette Touche Boar Reinforced Bristle Rounder Brush (2.25 Inch).
This incredible Spornette hair brush is an elegant styling tool with a unique bristle innovation. It goes like this; the reinforced boar bristles are slightly offset so effectively penetrate and hold your hair for great styling results.
Styling help is great, but the boar bristles also have other properties that make your hair look and feel great. For instance, boar bristles distribute natural oils through your hair; strip your hair of dead hair strands; and create a shiny, healthy look by closing your hair strand cuticles so your hair reflects light for a luxurious, all-day shine!
Like all the Touche hair brushes from Spornette, the Spornette Touche Boar Reinforced Bristle Rounder Brush features and ergonomically designed foam handle for lightweight fatigue-free use all day.

Shipping Rate: $0.00
This item ships directly from the manufacturer, please allow up to 2 weeks for delivery. This item does not qualify for free shipping.
Ground Shipping
Products weighing up to 75 lbs. will typically be allowed to ship via UPS Ground. If multiple products are purchased, and together exceed the maximum Ground Shipping weight limit, the method of shipping will change from Ground to Freight. In some cases a product may have oversized exterior dimensions which require Freight shipping.
Freight Shipping
Products weighting over 75 lbs., or products with oversized exterior dimensions, will ship Freight via an 18-wheel truck. Assembly or set-up is NOT included with freight shipping. All deliveries are considered "curbside" deliveries unless special arrangements are made with our customer service department. Due to the large size of many of our products, some or all of the following may be part of a Freight delivery:
- Lift Gate Fee – Additional Fee required for the Freight delivery truck to arrive with an "elevator" to lower the shipment to ground level. This is often necessary to safely lower a shipment, often containing hundreds of pounds of equipment or more, to ground level. This option is also used if a forklift, to unload the truck, is not available at your place of business. If this option is necessary for delivery to your place of business, please contact our customer service department prior to ordering at 1-800-685-2817.
- Residential Delivery Fee – Additional Fee required for delivery to a residential area, regardless if a business is present in the residential area. This fee is required due to residential areas being largely inaccessible to 18-wheel trucks. Deliveries to residential areas often require the products to be loaded onto a smaller delivery truck, which may also require a Lift Gate as described above. If this option is necessary for delivery, please contact our customer service department prior to ordering at 1-800-685-2817
- Inside Delivery Fee – Delivery to the inside of your building is NOT included on curbside freight deliveries. Inside delivery is available through many trucking companies at an additional charge, ONLY if your building is accessible to palletized freight deliveries made with a pallet jack. For more information or to request inside delivery service, please contact our customer service department prior to ordering at 1-800-685-2817.
- Pallets & Crates - Many of our larger products are packaged in boxes with protective wood crates. Both oversized boxes and wood crated products are typically placed on wood pallets for delivery. Shrink wrap is also placed around the perimeter of these larger shipment
- Refused Shipments – If this item is shipped and then refused by the customer, the customer is responsible for shipping fees back to the manufacturer and will also be responsible for shipping fees that were paid to their place of business.
