Employment & Benefits
This section provides an overview of many benefits available to faculty and staff. In the event of conflict between the overview provided in this handbook and the plan document or insurance plan, the plan document or insurance plan will govern. Complete descriptions are not possible in the handbook; employees should contact Human Resources for specific plan details. The Labor Agreement governs in the case of Union employees in all aspects of this section. Regular employees who have a schedule involving a (.46) FTE or above are eligible to participate in the College's benefit programs.
Carleton College will comply with all applicable laws such as ACA, FMLA, federal, state, and any applicable regulations.
Floating Holidays
All regular, benefit-eligible employees are eligible to receive up to three floating holidays per year.
|Floating Holidays Eligibility and Maximums by Employee Group
|Accrual Rate
|Total Floating Holidays annual accrual for Full-Time Employee
|Maximum Balances for Full-time Employee
|Maximum Negative Balance Allowed for Full-time Employee
|Bi-weekly (Non-Exempt, Non-Union)
|.0116 per hour paid
|3 days
|48 hours (6 days)
|12 hours (1.5 days)
|Monthly (Exempt)
|.25 days per month
|3 days
|6 days
|1.5 days
Floating holidays are accrued at the end of each pay period based on the employee's current accrual rate, the number of hours worked (excluding over-time) and/or the employee's budgeted FTE.
Staff working less than 12 months must use their floating holidays during their paid employment period. Staff positions are budgeted for the appointment period only and therefore there are no funds available for paid leaves outside of the appointment period.
When an employee reaches the maximum balance, their accruals will cease until their balance drops below the maximum. Carry-over maximums are equal to maximum balances.
Bi-weekly employees are to record their floating holiday time utilization using actual time verses rounding to 15 minute increments on their web-time entry electronic timesheet.
Monthly employees must electronically record utilization of floating holidays on the HUB. The Fair Labor Standards Act requires exempt leave reporting in no less than half-day increments. Timely reporting of exempt leaves is encouraged, and adjustment to leave balances will not be made due to late reporting.
The purpose for allowing employees to use accruals before they are earned (negative balance) is in response to the cyclical work of many offices around campus that may dictate when an employee can schedule time off. It is not the College's intent for employees to carry a negative balance for an extended period of time, and like other aspects of the floating holidays policy, supervisor approval is required before an employee can use unearned time off.
At separation, accrued floating holidays balances will be paid out to the employee. Any negative floating holidays balance will be deducted from the employee's final pay check.

Purim Carnival to benefit children's foundation
The annual Purim Carnival will be held at 8 p.m. Monday, March 17, in the East Gym on the Binghamton University campus. The carnival is open to the public and features a wide array of game booths, rides, attractions, music and food, including unlimited free humentashen (jelly-filled cookies).
New this year is a battle of the bands contest scheduled to begin at 9 p.m. The contest will feature three University student bands competing against each other.
The carnival benefits the Children of Chernobyl, a non-profit organization that treats sick children still affected by radiation from the 1986 nuclear power plant blast in the Ukraine. This year carnival organizers hope to attract more than 2,000 attendees and generate enough money to help children get airlifted to hospitals for treatment.
A $2 admission fee includes five carnival tickets; $5 admission fee includes all of the rides and attractions.
The carnival is sponsored by the Chabad House Jewish Student Center, and co-sponsored by Hillel-JSU, Alpha Epsilon Pi, Alpha Epsilon Phi, the Jewish Heritage Program, Off Campus College, Sodexho Marriott and many of the residential communities.
For more information, call Chabad House at 797-0015.

Well, Caltrans closed my freeway exit today (Fell St in San Francisco). It's going to be replaced by a boulevard. The last exit to the center of San Francisco just got a mile shorter.
I've heard many arguments on the issue, and many make sense. But some of the supporters of this plan claim that the traffic will be better. I can't decide if this is a lie for their agenda, or if they are really that naive. No matter how well the traffic lights are timed, a mile of elevated freeway is 10 minutes faster than a mile of stoplight traffic. And during rush hour, it's just more lights for 40,000 vehicles to be idling at.

What You Will Need for Recycled Lava Lamps:
- empty bottle
- cooking oil
- water
- food coloring
- Alka-Seltzer
Step 1: Add the Oil
Have your child fill an empty container 3/4 full of cooking oil.
Step 2: Add the Water
Then, fill the rest of the bottle with water, leaving about an inch of bottle empty.
Step 3: Add a Little Color
Let your child drop 10 droplets of food coloring into the bottle.
Step 4: Add the Bubbles
Break an Alka-Seltzer into about 8 small pieces and drop them into the bottle.
Step 5: Watch!
When the Alka-Seltzer hits the water it will start to fizz causing the colors to erupt! After your child has added all of the Alka-Seltzer to the lava lamp, screw the lid on and turn the bottle upside down and watch a lava blob appear.
Why It Works?
Oil and water do not mix, the food coloring will only mix with the water and the Alka-Seltzer tablets react with the water causing tiny bubbles. The bubbles attach to the little blobs of color causing them to float. Then, when the bubble pops, the blob sinks back to the bottom.

Compare great Fiat Leak prices in Morpeth with Who Can Fix My Car.
I had a price for a timing belt and water pump replacement I also asked them to do further work including welding and a rear brake caliper replacement I received a full quote and that was the price I paid I am happy with the work done the staff were very honest and helpful I would recommend them to anyone as an independent garage as giving you piece of mind.
Very happy with the work done!
Service was excellent, quick response to quote, booked in within 48 hours waiting in nice room whilst repairs were done, friendly staff, will use again
The quote I was given over the phone was incorrect and so the job ended up slightly more expensive than going to the garage around the corner. Nice guys, they changed brakes and pads, but double check the quote prior to driving to bedlington
Dropped car off on the morning was explained what work would be done .They later rang to say it was ready before the time .Had no problems with this Garage would probably use them again
Very efficient booking process and work carried promptly whilst I waited. Very pleased with the work carried out and with the price I paid.
excellent garage will definitely use again
I am really impressed with the professional service I received. After being told by National Tyres that I needed a complete exhaust I was really chuffed that Redburn showed me I didn't need one at all. All that was wrong was one of the hangers had snapped and it simply needed welding. To carry out all the work that was required for MOT plus the MOT was £150. That included a replacement CV joint and new brake pipes and of course the exhaust hanger. I was aware that these jobs needed doing from my previous MOT so I was well pleased to get all the work done for this small sum. In addition I was treated with courtesy and nothing was too small. I would definitely recommend this company

How in the frick do I get her to stop "popping?"
I have tried putting piles out and just sending her, after a few days I move the pile back and she does fine, and so on. It is just on a blind that she refuses to take a line and stick with it.

Only a few days removed from a disappointing showing at the NCAA Final Four in Indianapolis, and having to wait until the very last minute to even get invited to this event, Michigan States Raymar Morgan was one of the most productive players at Portsmouth and did about as good a job as he could to help his professional stock in the process.
Morgan was active and athletic around the rim, moving off the ball intelligently and being a terrific target for his guards to dish passes to for simple finishes. He also crashed the offensive glass, was outstanding in transition and generally played with a chip on his shoulder, spending most of his time at the power forward position, where he was very effective.
While injuries may have never allowed us to see what could become of Morgans career at Michigan State, and his scoring numbers clearly regressed every year since his sophomore season, it was good to see him show that he still has a pulse and is worthy of keeping tabs on.
Mostly an inside player in college, seeing the largest part of his offensive possessions in the post according to Synergy Sports Technology, Morgan showed off better perimeter skills than we had seen from him up until this point. He created his own shot off the dribble on a few possessions, but didnt show much in terms of a jump-shot, an area he struggled in this season at Michigan State as well, knocking down just 20/71 jumpers on the year, and 5/17 from beyond the arc.
Defensively, Morgan is capable of guarding either forward position, something that makes him attractive in todays NBA. He competes on every possession and has good physical tools, standing 6-8 with a 6-10 wingspan, and is also a terrific rebounder on both ends of the floor. Hes a pretty versatile guy all in all, picking up a good number of blocks and steals to go along with his nice assist numbers.
His pedigree is another thing NBA teams will likely appreciate, having reached two Final Fours and being part of one of the most overachieving NCAA teams seen in recent memory. Despite a slew of injuries, Morgan missed only a handful of games over the last three years, showing the capacity for playing through pain, even if it wasnt the smartest thing he could do long-term.
All in all, Morgan is not a player that is likely to get drafted at this point with his pedestrian numbers and clear-cut tweener status. If a player like Marcus Landry can make an NBA team and stick on a roster for almost an entire season, though, theres no reason why a similar but more talented prospect like Morgan cant. More likely, hell end up overseas and will make some old-school European coach very happy with the terrific blend of smarts, fundamentals and toughness he brings to the table.
Michigan States Raymar Morgan showed that he was worthy of being invited on the first Portsmouth go-around instead of having to wait for a last minute nod, putting up a strong 17 point, 10 rebound, 3 assist performance in his first outing. Morgan looked a lot more athletic than we remembered him, finishing emphatically around the rim repeatedly and crashing the offensive glass ferociously with an excellent second bounce. He played with a chip on his shoulder just like you would expect a Tom Izzo pupil to, but did so in a controlled and intelligent manner, even showing some perimeter skills by creating his own shot off the dribble in transition. Morgan is a guy we wrote plenty about early in his career but cooled on significantly as injuries took their toll and his numbers fell off. It will be interesting to see how he looks over the next two games. Its amazing to think that he was playing in the Final Four in Indianapolis just five days ago.[Read Full Article]
Raymar Morgan made tremendous strides during his sophomore campaign with the Spartans, improving significantly in nearly every statistical category without seeing an increase in playing time. The athletic small forward became even more of a fixture in Tom Izzos offense than he was as a freshman, leading the team in scoring while seeing his shooting percentage jump from 48% to 55% even when taking more shots per game. With the departure of Drew Neitzel, Morgan will have to shoulder even more of a load for Michigan State and has the potential to have an All-Big Ten caliber season. He was outstanding in the first half of the season last year and then saw his numbers drop off dramatically in the second half (particularly in the NCAA tournament), and will need to be consistent all year long for the Spartans to have the type of season many are expecting.
At 67, Morgan has average size for the small forward position, but compensates for this with his length and solid athleticism. He has good open floor speed and quickness, but his weak ball handling skills slow him down considerably and prevent him from being more of an offensive threat. His wiry 225 pound frame is much stronger than it looks and this allows Morgan to finish with contact around the basket at a tremendous rate and to post up smaller players.
As was the case last season, one of the biggest areas that Morgan needs to continue working on is his range. He has shown continual improvement in his ability to connect from mid-range as a catch and shoot player. His release point is inconsistent, but quick enough that he can get his shot off against most defenders. Morgan gets into trouble when he tries to create for himself off the dribble; usually he winds up off balanced, firing a line drive at the basket. He still isnt much of a threat from beyond the perimeter, attempting just 33 shots from beyond the arc last season and connecting on 10 of them.
Morgans ability to score effectively in the post makes him a versatile scorer. His strength and athleticism allow him to back down smaller opponents on the block. While he doesnt have any developed post moves, he shows pretty good instincts when playing with his back to the basket. Morgan does tend to panic and make poor decisions when he is doubled down low though.
Rebounding and versatility continue to be the appealing aspects of Morgans defensive game. Last season he pulled down over 6 boards per game and that was without ever really doing an effective job of boxing out opponents. If he can add proper technique to his length and aggressiveness, there is no reason to think that Morgan cant be among the Big Tens top rebounders. He also does well covering various types of players, whether it be bodying up power forwards or guarding more perimeter based players on the wing. He does struggle from time to time with his lateral quickness going up against quicker matchups though.
Morgan has already done himself plenty of good in regards to making an impression on NBA scouts, this season he can make the leap from promising underclassmen to legitimate pro prospect. If he can become a more consistent shooter from 18 feet and improve his ball-handling skills, Morgan will show that hes fully made the transition from power forward to small forward.
After a fine debut season in college, Morgan has bumped his play up with his expanded role in the Spartan offense. Now in his second year, he has become the focal point in Michigan States offense, leading his squad to a 19-2 record, while posting impressive numbers individually as well. While he is nowhere near a finished product, Morgan has continued to make strides in adjusting to the small forward slot from his natural position of power forward.
Since we last wrote about Morgan, not a whole lot has changed in terms of his progress as a prospect. Like many young players, his consistency has been up and down. The 31 and 23 point performances he posted against Minnesota and Northwestern were paired with two single digit performances, along with a 10 point outing in MSUs lowly 36 point game against Iowa.
Showing the ability to beat his matchup inside with his strength and athleticism, Morgan has no problem sliding down to the power forward spot when needed for MSU. He can turn to either shoulder and overpower most small forwards when in the pivot. The Ohio natives non-stop motor and hustle make him a very tough guard for most forwards.
Raymar has continued to show improvement on his mid-range jumpshot this year, proving to be capable of converting both coming off of screens and off the bounce. He gets a very good release on his mid-range shot making it tough to defend, and it is beginning to emerge as his go to scoring move from the perimeter. With so many NBA teams doubling down in the post today, Morgans promising ability to hit the 18 footer will help him greatly in the eyes of NBA scouts.
Morgan has been equally as versatile on the defensive end, where he has shown promise guarding both perimeter players and post players. Equally as impressive has been the potential that Morgan has shown at times as a rebounder, where he ranks well amongst the top small forwards in rebounds per 40 minutes pace adjusted. Boxing out is especially key for Raymar in this area however, given that he could easily average one or two rebounds per game if he checked his man out on a more consistent basis.
While he is impressive in so many areas of the game, we are not ready to call him a true small forward for the NBA level just yet. Much like Danny Granger a few years back at New Mexico (after his transfer from Bradley), Morgan is still developing the skill of breaking people down from the perimeter and is expanding the range on his outside jumper. He still struggles handling the ball when forced to put the ball on the floor more than two or three times in a straight line, lacking any creativity off of the bounce. His three point shot is still not quite there, with Morgan making only 5 three-pointers thus far this season, on 25% accuracy.
While this has been a very promising year for Morgan so far, and Michigan State has established itself as the team to beat in the Big Ten, he could certainly use at least another year on the collegiate level to shore up his perimeter skills. The arrival of top 15 recruit (and former AAU teammate) Delvon Roe will allow Morgan to play the small forward position on more of a full time basis next season, giving him an opportunity to further cement his name in the minds of NBA scouts, after getting off to a great start in his first two years as a Spartan.
After a solid freshman season for the Spartans, people had big expectations for Michigan State entering this season. Along with the lofty expectations for the team, the same can be said for small forward Raymar Morgan. The sophomore has responded thus far this season, proving to be one of the more efficient scorers in college basketball, while showing improvement in other aspects of his game. Though there is a long way to go before the end of the college season, Morgan could really make some noise if he continues this level of production.
Physically, the Spartan forward has a body that can be described as NBA-ready. He carries 225 pounds on a well-developed frame, and has clearly spent a good deal of time in the weight room. Morgan also possesses ideal length, with long arms that assist him on both ends of the floor.
Offensively, the numbers have been off the charts across the board so far this season. A shooting percentage of more than 60% and 1.72 points per shot are just two of the statistics that describe the way Morgan has played this year. The sophomore scores a number of his points off the dribble, and he effectively pulls up off the dribble from mid-range. He has only taken nine three pointers so far this season, but his aggression going to the basket off the dribble and in transition has led to nearly seven free throw attempts per game. Morgan loves to run the court in transition, and shows crafty finishing ability inside, thanks to his body and very effective footwork. The sophomore also uses the pump-fake well to get his defender out of position.
Morgan posted low assist numbers last season, averaging less than one per game. This season, he has displayed an improved feel for finding the open man, and has even made the extra pass a few times in transition. He still turns the ball over fairly often, usually due to poor half-court reads and drives into traffic.
To really improve his stock the rest of the year, the second year forward will need to prove he can hit the three-pointer with consistency. The range on his shot didnt extend consistently past 20 feet last season, and his awkward mechanics may limit his ability to shoot the long ball. Many scouts have questioned his ball-handling ability as well. It seems that Morgan needs a good deal of space to get to the basket, but rarely accelerates past the defense off the dribble in isolation situations.
Morgan has started well this season, but a run into the NCAA Tournament will go a long way in helping his draft stock. He has a great feel for how to put the ball in the hoop, and his body can already be described as NBA ready. The sophomore will look to land in the first round when he declares, but how high he can go has yet to be determined.
Despite being just a freshman, Raymar Morgan was an essential piece of Michigan States NCAA tournament last year. Hell be looked upon even more as the Spartans attempt an even deeper run this season, possibly to the Final Four. On the individual side, Morgan possesses an interesting skill-set and shows the potential to develop into an effective player at the next level.
Morgan already possesses a versatile offensive repertoire at his stage of development. An efficient scorer, Morgan averaged 11.6 points per game shooting 49% percent from the field and 31% from beyond the arc. His field goal percentage is impressive because of the way he gets a good amount of his points: from mid-range. Very few freshmen (or upperclassmen) forwards have the type of mid-range game that Morgan possesses. With a refined instinct for moving off the ball and coming off screens (particularly flex cuts) to find an open shot, he can catch and shoot on the move from anywhere inside the arc due to his quick release and elevation. However, his form could use some work, especially the further he moves. He has a tendency to cock the ball from behind his head, as well as kick his legs out on his shooting motion, which results in wasted movement and particularly an inconsistent release point. It is most evident in his 3-point shooting. He often ends up pushing the ball and overshooting because he is not comfortable yet in his shooting motion. A guy who has the ability and tools that Morgan possesses should be a far better 3-point shooter, but he will struggle from this area until he improves his mechanics.
Morgan loves to push the ball on fast breaks and, though he is not incredibly explosive, is a good finisher with either hand. He does a good job of drawing contact as well, and when he gets fouled, he makes his foul shots at 69%: not a great number, but a percentage he is certainly able to improve.
Morgan has a nose for finding open spots in unbalanced defenses to get to the rim, using the baselines in particular to attack the basket. Possessing solid athleticism, and good body control, he is able to get points in a variety of ways around the basket. In fact, it would be nice to see him use his physical ability more often because there arent many players that can compete with him at the NCAA level. He doesnt spend much time in the post, though when he does, he has questionable touch, but undeniable potential. At 67, 220 lbs, he certainly has the size to log minutes in the post, but with Michigan States front line, it might not be entirely necessary.
Though his numbers dont suggest it (5.2 rebounds/game), he is also a good rebounder on both ends of the floor. He is constantly in the mix for rebounds and utilizes his athleticism to really be a force under the basket. In fact, Morgan really moves well on both sides of the floor. He rarely looks lost on the floor and this is another intriguing element of his game thus far. He is a scrappy player at this point in his development and his effort is usually high on both sides of the court.
This is not to say that Morgan is a finished prospect. He has a long way to go. His ball-handling skills in particular could use plenty of work. When hes slashing to the basket, he often looks out of control, and thus hardly pays attention to anything besides himself and the basket. This also makes it tough for him to pull up off the dribble from mid-range amongst traffic, as he does not currently possess the ball control to do so. Combined with a bad handle, this results in turnovers as he dribbles into traps, often while teammates are also cutting towards the basket. He has a bad habit of moving before he dribbles as well, resulting in far too many unnecessary travels.
Morgans passing ability is similarly flawed. He does not make crisp passes and when he passes the ball, he has a tendency to have his passes intercepted by opposing backcourt players. He averaged 2.5 turnovers per game last season compared to 0.8 assists. His overall court awareness, shot selection, and basketball IQ must improve if he is going to be able to achieve his potential.
His defense also needs some work. He has nice length, fundamentals, toughness and strength, but he needs to do a significant amount of work to become a good perimeter defenderhaving mostly guarded power forwards for most of his career. Last season, he gave his man too much room and sometimes was out of position on the perimeter. He reached in a lot, as well, resulting in unnecessary fouls. Another testament to his youth is how easy savvy scorers got him to bite on fakes. This will improve with maturity, though. He really does look like he could evolve into a solid defensive player at the next level because of his physical tools and awareness. After all, as said before, he is already a scrappy player and plays all over the floor with high energy.
A big season is expected out of Michigan State and Morgans improvements are essential in order for the Spartans to succeed. This season will be considered a test to see if Morgans intriguing combination of skills, toughness, and potential will translate to an NBA atmosphere.
Sharing a bit of a similar profile and duties with Donte Green, Raymar Morgan was one of the small forwards that the US Team used in a combo-forward role during the tournament. Standing around 6-7, strong, showing solid athleticism, he's not a greatly talented player, but he can do the basics, such as shoot the ball out to the three-point line (not always consistently), put the ball on the floor, play good defense and stay strong in the rebounding area. Nothing spectacular, but still useful for his team.[Read Full Article]

I have Elements 10,windows 7. Epson perfection 4490 photo scanner. When I scan a photo or document and import it into the software it scans ok but puts up another small box that says "importing from Epson" and then closes and puts the photo in the workspace. (I should have to close that myself),but everything under file is grayed and elements freezes.I cannot print or change anything. I also have PSP 8 and scanning there works just fine. I can print the document and there is no smaller box with the "import from epson". This is probably not clear, but does anyone have any ideas as to why elements is not working correctly? I have had 10 for awhile and just now tried to scan with it,so don't know if this is a new problem or not.

I only have 7 and I scan to computer rather than Elements, and import later.. does it work if you do that?? It will eliminate the PSE element so we can see where the problem is... :-)
Posted 03 August 2013 - 11:54 AM
Well I don't know what to tell you. I thank you for responding,tho. I opened PSE 10 and lo and behold it scanned perfectly. I tried a text document too, and it was fine.I can't imagine what was going on. Yesterday I could not do either one,and like I said elements froze up.If it happens again, I will be back.Thank you for offering.

By Tiernan Ray
Bernstein Research's tech team Wednesday offered the second installment of their treatise on the future of semiconductor production, "Dawn of Dusk for Semi Capital Equipment Manufacturers?" following the first installment on Monday.
Authors Pierre Ferragu, Stacy Rasgon, Mark Li, and Mark Newman follow on their observation that delivering on Moore's Law — the rule of thumb that transistor density doubles every two years — is going to be increasingly expensive, driving up capital investment expense for the industry.
The authors posit that chip makers such as Intel (INTC) may succeed in balancing rising cost of wafers with the higher economies of reduced transistor size. The result would be steady capital spending, avoiding declines of the past.
In a less desirable scenario, the authors write, the costs of production will outweigh progress on Moore's Law, which could make spending untenable for the industry.
In either case, the authors write that the stepped up investment will result in some particular winners in the semiconductor tools business:
Overall, we expect growth in the semicap industry to be stronger in the next decades than it was in previous ones, whatever the evolution scenario we consider. At the same time, all process steps won't benefit equally, there will be winners and losers […] Winning segments are process steps at the origin of the increase in cost per wafer: Lithography, Process Control. In addition, we see Wafer-level packaging as a long term winner as well. Losing segments suffer from the decline in wafer additions we anticipate under the combined effect of increasing costs per wafer and the 450mm migration: Etch, Clean and Planarization, Deposition, RTP/Oxidation, Ion implantation, Manufacturing Automation […] In our coverage, ASML [Holding NV (ASML)] is a structural winner and remains a top pick. Outside of our coverage, KLA Tencor (KLAC), Hermes, NuFlare, Rudolph, and Nanometrics (NANO) appear as standing to benefit from the mourning of Moore's Law. For most other players, mourning Moore's Law equates to a secular headwind. At first sight, if mourning Moore's Law is about more expensive wafer starts, it can't be bad for capital equipment spending as a whole. It isn't indeed. We described in our Silicon War research last year how competition for manufacturing leadership structurally increased capital expenses at leading foundries and IDMs. Combined with the concentration of the industry, the picture is fairly impressive. Cumulated capex of the top 3 manufacturers reached ~$33bn last year, vs. an average of $13bn from 2004 to 2009 […] In sum, we expect Lithography and Process Control to grow at a much faster rate than the overall semi cap market.

¿Qué aprendés en este curso?
Skills and Training
Writing Skills
Getting Started: Writing Basics
Begin a journey through the writing process with a look at your fellow travelers: your students! We'll discuss the types of writers that emerge in grades 4-6 and find ways to encourage and motivate them. You'll also explore the basics of teaching writing by learning how to create an engaging writing task with a specific audience and purpose. At the end of this lesson, you'll pack a writing suitcase to organize your materials and learn how to create a writer-friendly classroom.
The Writing Process: Part 1
Learn the importance of modeling your writing skills as you teach your students about the writing process. We'll start with an overview of the process and then focus on the first two steps in our writing journey: prewriting and drafting. Some intriguing superheroes will help your students learn effective prewriting techniques like brainstorming, freewriting, and mapping. And we'll wrap up our lesson with a friendly monster who will help you teach essay
The Writing Process: Part 2
Today we'll continue our travels through the writing process with a study of the last three steps: revising, editing, and publishing. You'll learn how to help students become confident peer revisers as they check papers for content and clarity while still respecting the author's sense of ownership. Next, we'll discuss how you can help students focus on writing mechanics during the editing step. In both revising and editing, you'll encourage your students to collaborate, coach, and correct. Finally, you'll find ways to let your students share their writing as their voices are fully realized in the publishing step.
Ways to Strengthen Writing
It's time to get out your barbells because this lesson is about strengthening your students' writing. We'll focus on specific strategies for constructing intriguing sentences that vary in length and style. To be strong writers, your students will need some nourishment, so we'll learn how to use a submarine sandwich to teach paragraph structure. Using this formula, your students will become proficient at writing topic sentences, supporting sentences with transitions, and concluding sentences. Finally, we'll see how to use technology as a tool for strengthening writing.Enhancing Writing Instruction With Trade Books
Reading and writing have a natural relationship. When students connect these skills, they strengthen both abilities and enhance their learning. In this lesson, we're going to explore how to foster an eagerness for writing and teach writing skills using children's trade books. Then you'll discover and develop writing prompts that allow your students to effectively communicate their understanding of literature.
Narrative Writing
"Once upon a time . . ." Remember the wonderful books you read as a child? Today we'll bring that "once upon a time" magic into our students' lives as we help them see that good stories aren't just found in books—they're in each of us as well. Our topic is narrative writing, and we'll explore the skills students need to tell stories. You'll learn how to help students create memorable characters, vivid settings, and descriptive plots. Finally, we'll consider ways to expand your students' writing repertoire using different writing genres.Expository Writing
Can you count how many research papers you've been asked to write? At some point, your students will certainly be given this assignment, so now's the time to teach them about expository writing. Expository writing is simply writing that explains or informs. In this lesson, we'll start by looking at three expository elements: focus, support, and structure. Next, you'll find ways to teach your students how to conduct research and take notes. Finally, you'll learn how to help them organize all of the information into an exceptional report.
Persuasive Writing
Our young students often feel unheard in an adult-dominated society. But with persuasive writing, they come to know that what they think matters and what they have to say can make a difference. That's a powerful motivation to write! Today you'll learn how to walk your students through the prewriting step, where they'll choose a topic, decide on a position statement, and research evidence that supports their view. Next, we'll help them learn to hook their readers in their introduction, use different persuasive appeals in the body of their essay, and leave a memorable impact with their conclusion. Finally, we'll help them avoid the pitfalls of certain fallacies that can undermine their efforts.Writing Across the Curriculum
Writing isn't just for English class! It's a valuable tool to help your students learn other topics more deeply. In this lesson, as we explore writing across the curriculum, you'll learn how to provide plenty of writing opportunities in every subject area. We'll explore summary writing and journal writing as ways to write about a subject. And then we'll move on to writing projects that are unique for each content area. Finally, we'll finish with some engaging ideas for writing about famous people in any content area.
A Trait-Based Approach to Writing
Good, effective writing lets readers enjoy the journey with the writer, moving them toward a clear destination while blending the author's voice with the reader's emotions. The 6 + 1 Trait Writing method helps our students create a reciprocal relationship with their readers. Today you'll learn practical strategies for teaching the six writing traits: ideas, organization, voice, word choice, sentence fluency, and conventions. Then you'll discover the "plus 1" and ways to make your students' writing presentations appealing. When students can pull all these traits together, they'll have writing that makes a memorable impression on their readers!Writer's Workshop
In this lesson, we'll combine all the writing strategies we've learned and see how they fit into a Writer's Workshop. You'll be excited to discover how students can use the writing process, learn writing skills, practice different applications, and work collaboratively using the Writer's Workshop model. We'll divide our study of this teaching approach into three components: the mini-lesson, the small group and independent work time, and the sharing session. And an example of Writer's Workshop in action will help you visualize its use in your own classroom.
Writing Assessments
Assessment is the final topic for our course. However, it isn't the "end of the road" for your students' writing experiences. In this lesson, you'll learn that assessment is an ongoing process that you can use as a tool for improving both learning and teaching. We'll start with a comparison of traditional and alternative assessment options. Next, we'll focus on how to use authentic writing tasks and portfolios to assess writing. Finally, you'll learn how to develop and use rubrics so you'll be well-equipped to evaluate your students' writing.
Información adicional
Through well-crafted lessons, expert online instruction and interaction with your tutor, participants in these courses gain valuable knowledge at their convenience. They have the flexibility to study at their own pace combined with enough structure and support to complete the course. And they can access the classroom 24/7 from anywhere with an Internet connection.

Andre Dida to Return to Fighting This Summer
- Written by Dave Walsh
Andre Dida is one of those guys that most of us know from our time staying up super late to watch Japanese events from here in the United States and rightfully so. Dida cut his teeth in Brazil before being called up by K-1 for their HERO*s organization, where he took place in their first Lightweight GP. Dida, who was a relative unknown to Japanese fans at the time, made it all the way to the Finals. From there he went on to appear in DREAM as well as K-1 MAX.
His K-1 MAX stint was weird, to say the least, as K-1 threw him to the wolves early on, so to speak. His first fight was a crazy KO, so then he was moved up in competition. When I say moved up, I mean that his second K-1 fight was against Buakaw Banchamek (then Por. Pramuk). What was crazy was that he nailed Buakaw with some great shots, Buakaw was a king at the time. Buakaw went on to win via decision in an extra round, but Dida earned some serious respect there. He had two more fights in K-1 after that, both of which were still steep climbs up the talent ranks, against Yuichiro Nagashima and Hinata Watanabe.
Dida announced his return today, claiming that he not only wanted to come back to MMA, but to Kickboxing. I'm not sure that he'd be able to just jump right into the deep waters at 70kg right away, but if GLORY or K-1 were to pick him up they'd be able to build him up until he's comfortable and see where he stands, at least. Dida is planning this comeback with Champions Sports Management based out of Stoney Creek, Ontario, a brand of House of Champions gym, headed by Alin Halmagean and Nenad Kuruc.

POTUS is here for folks to use reasonably. It keeps this topic that some RTF folks enjoy debating off the main board.
The policy remains today as it has been since the board was set up. The policy is quite basic:
Be civil or be banned.
No, I am not here to write detailed "rules" about what's civil and what's not.
You all have the ability to report a post. If someone is abusing this resource, please do report the post and let us deal with it. Remember this please.
Guy "A" is thowing mud. Guy "B" gets into the gutter and decides to throw mud too. In the end, both are covered with mud and it matters not a whole lot who started it. If you're going to engage in non-civil treatment of others on RTF, you're looking at getting banned.
Yes, it is possible to use a political board respectfully and still debate.
Have fun. Enjoy RTF. Life's too short to get bent out of shape over internet arguments.
RTF is here, as always to provide value to the global retriever community.

By Errol Castens/NEMS Daily Journal
OXFORD – The YMCA may be coming to Oxford, and both the Y and the Oxford Park Commission members hope the two entities will be complementary rather than competitive.
"The Y's interest in Oxford is one the worst-kept secrets anywhere," Keith Johnson, president of YMCA of Memphis and the Mid-South told commission members Wednesday.
The non-profit organization's toehold may be through Baptist Memorial Health Care's fitness center.
"We are in the process of discussing with Baptist potentially taking over the Healthplex," Johnson said. "If we take over the Healthplex, the long-term goal would be to have a facility in Oxford."
The Y and Baptist have not yet signed a contract, he said, but a letter of intent is in place.
The region's YMCA facilities in greater Memphis and other Mid-South communities run a host of programs in sports, health and fitness, youths, at-risk teens and seniors, many of which are already in place in Oxford under the Park Commission.
Commission member Marvin King voiced the question on the minds of all his fellow members.
"One of the concerns is, if the Y comes in, how do we work together to keep from competing with each other?" he asked.
Johnson compared the YMCA's aims in Oxford to those in its present outreach in Olive Branch, where the Y does not duplicate programs the city already has in place.
"We don't have a written agreement about that, but that's our understanding," he said. "When we opened in Olive Branch, the mayor came to our board meeting and invited us.
"Our goal is to be part of the community," he assured. "That doesn't mean taking away from other parts of the community, as long as you're doing it well."
Johnson noted that the Y's athletics do not typically address the needs of elite competitors.
"In most of our sports programs, our tendency is to do non-competitive, intro programs," he said. "We want kids to be kids and learn how to play and enjoy it."
Mayor Pat Patterson made clear that Oxford will not gladly yield programs into which it has made sizable investments of time and money.
"We welcome you to our community," he told Johnson. "But let there be no mistake: We'd be foolish if we didn't look at our options here."

Family: Nymphalidae, Brush-footed Butterflies view all from this family
Dimensions 1 1/8-1 5/8" (28-35 mm).
Endangered Status The Uncompahgre Fritillary, a subspecies of the Dingy Fritillary, is on the U.S. Endangered Species List. It is classified as endangered in Colorado. This butterfly is known to live only among Snow Willow Plants above 12,000 feet elevation in a few places in the San Juan Mountains and the Sawatch Range. Sadly, this and other butterflies that live in small and isolated populations have suffered at the hands of humans, namely collectors. The rarer a species is, the more it is coveted for collections, and this butterfly's low, slow flight makes it an easy catch. It has been listed as an endangered species since 1991, and it is illegal to collect or otherwise molest it. Researchers are surveying the butterfly's range in the hopes of finding other populations, and studying the species habitats and life cycle. There have been reports of other populations existing, but their discoverer has chosen to keep the locations a secret.
Habitat Alpine & subalpine habitats, Arctic habitats.
Range Alaska, Rocky Mountains, Western Canada.

An Iceberg Graveyard0
Today's ice photo is from the iceberg graveyard in Pleneau Bay, Antarctica - a place where icebergs have run aground and are slowly melting. It is almost impossible to take a bad photo here!
According to the National Snow and Ice Data Center, "Icebergs form when chunks of ice calve, or break off, from glaciers, ice shelves, or a larger iceberg. Icebergs travel with ocean currents, sometimes smashing up against the shore or getting caught in shallow waters."

Jonathan Minard and I went to Allegheny County Airport (AGC) in West Mifflin, PA to take a Gigapan of the building and runways. The airport is totally art-deco, and really beautiful inside--it's like a time capsule.
I think one of us shook the camera accidentally on this one, so there may be "jiggles" in it, especially around the straight lines (runway lines, the light pole, etc.)

Just a personal opinion.
Being hot is not always about who looks the best, but about who carries themselves the best, hence why I give Miss Brinson the title over some others.
Check her out before the Heat 2nd Round game before the Celtics.
I'd must examine with you here. Which is not something I often do! I get pleasure from studying a publish that can make people think. Additionally, thanks for permitting me to remark!
An interesting dialogue is worth comment. I believe that you must write more on this topic, it might not be a taboo topic however generally people are not sufficient to talk on such topics. To the next. Cheers
Thank you for your whole labor on this site. My mother loves managing research and it's easy to understand why. All of us notice all of the lively form you render valuable guides through the website and attract contribution from the others on the concern and my simple princess is without a doubt starting to learn a whole lot. Take pleasure in the rest of the new year. You are performing a stunning job.

It's been a while since I've posted here. After "retiring" after graduation, I've found that coding has become less interesting than writing and thinking. This comes as a shock to me as I was a massive code nerd. I'm now at the University of Toronto in their Knowledge Media Design Institute and the Faculty of Information studies, and that is all sociology, political science, psychology, literary theory, philosophy, you name it.
MeatballWiki continues to grow despite my best efforts to keep it level, and so it has experienced some massive growing pains of late due to excessive energy and latent tensions. This has taken a lot of time out of my life that I should be spending on my Masters degree, not to mention my personal life.
I occsasionally peek at Advogato; once a month or so. I am always impressed by the strength and longevity of the community here.

My contributions to the community have radically changed as of late. Due to my good fortune in being able to go to debconf2 (see my write up about it ) I decided to devote my work on the open source community to debian.
Since then, I've created two debian packages for inclusion in debian, imapfilter and limewire. imapfilter is already in the archive, but limewire is still pending.
I also have decided to become a debian developer, and am almost completely done with the applications process.
I also wrote a gtk frontend for the new debian installer.
I'm tremendously happy about working with Debian, and I couldn't have gotten as involved as I have without the help I got from Mako, Tolleff, and Joerg.
I plan to continue improving the debian-installer and package a number of gpl truetype fonts for inclusion in main. Im' currently discussing licensing issues with a number of font authors.

I just took a peek at the current results of the Poll on Training… and I think it is right where I thought it would be. "Leaving us wanting More".
We talked a lot about training at the annual meetings and just how bad it needs to be upgraded and changed.
I think that the BSA is on mark by requiring its leaders to be trained. But the training needs to be more specific to the leaders job and it needs to provide the information that is going to do two things.
First. Help the leader better serve youth. Training needs to include sessions on mentoring, coaching, and dealing with youth with special needs. The training needs to included "Train the Trainer" sessions, giving the leader skills to train youth leaders. And the training needs to tackle issues that help the leader work with developing young men.
Second. The training needs to address specific BSA policy so we are all providing the same program (delivery methods may vary).
Current BSA training is geared to serve the lowest common denominator. We need to move away from this philosophy in training and train those leaders that we really want working with our youth. Now, before I get hate mail.. I honestly think that Chartering Partners need to be selective in who they allow to be leaders. I understand that it is hard to say no to a volunteer.. but lets not forget what we are trying to accomplish here. These are the youth that we want leading America one day, yes this is "only Scouting", but we are working with young men in their formative years. We need to be carefull how we are training them and teaching them to be men. The wrong leader can leave the Scout with a bad Scouting experience.
Boy Scout training does leave us wanting more.
Lets take Wood Badge for example. Wood Badge should not be a training event that you attend 5, 10, 15 years along the training continuum. It should be training right after a Scout leader completes his or her basic course. They would get a lot more out of it I think.
Advanced training should then focus on skills, techniques, and should be delivered in Workshop formats.
Let me know what you think.
Have a Great Scouting Day!

Hearty grilled fish, served with lemon wedges that can be ready in just 20 minutes - perfect for a dinner.
You may need move the oven rack so it is 4 to 6 inches from the heating unit. Set the oven control to broil. (For easy cleanup, line the bottom of the broiler pan with foil before placing fish on the rack.) Brush the broiler pan rack with vegetable oil or spray with cooking spray. Brush fish with half of the butter; sprinkle with the salt and pepper. Place fish on rack in broiler pan (if fish fillets have skin, place skin sides down). For fish steaks, broil 5 minutes. Carefully turn fish over; brush with remaining butter. Broil 4 to 6 minutes longer or until fish flakes easily with a fork. For fish fillets, broil 5 to 6 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork (do not turn over). Brush with remaining butter. Serve with lemon wedges.
Use 1 pound skinless lean fish fillets (flounder, halibut, mahimahi, perch, red snapper, salmon, sea bass, sole, trout or whitefish), about 3/4 inch thick. If the fish fillets are large, cut into 4 servings pieces. In a shallow dish, mix 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon paprika, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Coat both sides of fish with flour mixture. In a 10- or 12-inch skillet, heat 1 tablespoon butter or margarine and 1 tablespoon olive or vegetable oil over medium heat until hot. Add fish. Cook 6 to 10 minutes, turning once, until fish is brown and flakes easily with a fork. Serve with lemon wedges.
The steak is cut from the cross section of a large fish. Steaks are 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick. Allow 1/4 to 1/3 pound per serving.
Fillets are cut lengthwise from the sides of fish. They can be purchased with or without skin.
Place a fork in the thickest part of the fish, then gently twist the fork. When the fish flakes easily, it's done.

Campus, community connect for Communiversity celebration
Posted May 1, 2006; 03:22 p.m.
Sunshine and warm temperatures on Saturday, April 29, attracted a large crowd to the 2006 Communiversity celebration, which annually brings the town and University together for a day of performances, food, games and more.
Set up on Nassau and Witherspoon streets and the campus, the event is sponsored by students at the University and the Arts Council of Princeton. Merchants, nonprofit organizations, musicians, performing and visual artists, food vendors and 60 University student organizations and performing groups turned the area into a colorful fairground with events for students and families alike.
Numerous student and community groups performed on four stages, and the
streets of Princeton and the front of campus were filled with vendors,
information booths, art exhibits and food stands. Besides traditional
favorites, this year's Communiversity featured a return to an emphasis
on the arts, including an increased number of artists and crafters.
campus Communiversity activities were: more than a dozen performing
groups on a stage near Stanhope Hall, including Ballet Folklorico de Princeton,
Triangle Club, Naacho, BodyHype and TapCats; a variety of sports games
and demonstrations by Princeton's student athletes and cheerleaders on
Cannon Green; performances by the University's a cappella groups in the
East Pyne arch; and displays of artworks at 185 Nassau St.
The University's International Center continued its tradition of
participation with an elaborate flag procession lead by Chinese lion
dancers. Each flag represented a Princeton student's home country. This
year as the culmination of a month of programming for the International
Festival, Communiversity sponsored a "Global Village," featuring foods,
information booths, performances and artworks from around the world.
Tours of the campus by the student-led Orange Key guide service left from in front of Nassau Hall throughout the festival. There also was interactive story-telling by the Middle Earth Theater as well as other activities sponsored by the Cotsen Children's Library on the Firestone Library lawn. The chapel joined the Communiversity celebrations with a children's organ program and a tour of the facility.
The University's participation was coordinated by the Office of Community and Regional Affairs.

Our son think that if he is going down in flames he is going down in style (ha!ha!) It doesn't look like your typical medical bracelet but is still easily identified as one. Good value for what you get and so far our son loves it. he picked it out himself and feels quite comfortable in wearing it.

- Great bracelet Review by Anbmama
For the most part this is a fantastic bracelet. It shipped super fast, within days! My son loves to wear it. Only bad thing is it seems one of the seams is already unraveling. That's not so great for an active boy! However, he'll keep wearing it until it's done and then I'll just replace the band. (Posted on 6/11/15)
- Happy! Review by Mrvnmarshun
My son was so looking forward to getting his fire bracelet and this did not disappoint. He never wants to take it off. He's so willing to wear the bracelet. Great quality. Well made. It doesn't even seem like a medical bracelet. I would buy this over and over again. (Posted on 10/30/13)

My fashion forward teen daughter loves her cool flame medic alert bracelet. It's hard to find something that she feels is fashionable yet still makes her medical conditions known because of emergency this bracelet makes her feel stylish and still takes care of the important alert that needs to be made it fits comfortably they can go in the water so it doesn't have to be removed daily it fits well we're very happy with it and all at once with (Posted on 8/22/13)
- Firefighter Review by Margsb
My son has epilepsy I let him pick what he wanted and he picked this one cause he wants to be a firefighter when he grows up! Thank you for making bands kids will wear and not feel like a spot light is on them. (Posted on 8/7/13)
- Actual bracelet is small Review by New to medical alerts
It says teen, so I bought it for my 10yr old. It fits but has no more than an inch to expand. Very small. As for labeling/ look/ quality, great! Just won't get to use it very long, and pricey for that. (Posted on 6/28/13)
- relieved Review by jacqueline

I love the bracelet. I bought for my 5 year old son who was just recently diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. He loves it, and feels really cool wearing it. Will purchase from them again! (Posted on 4/24/13)
- Very pleased Review by Heather
I purchased this for my son with type 2 diabetes and Crohns disease. He loves wearing it and loves the look and that it isn't a metal chain. I will be getting him several more bands! (Posted on 3/4/13)
- My 7 year old boy loves to wear his bracelet. Review by nancy
He feels special and likes to show it off. Great style and colors. Fits nice. Clasp is a little hard for child to maneuver and doesn't feel very strong. (Posted on 2/26/13)
- 5 Year old LOVES it Review by Linda Alexander
The bracelet is durable, stylish and fun. I was worried about getting my 5 year old to wear it every day, but he really enjoys it and I think it makes him feel like a big boy. Plus, it gives me peace of mind. (Posted on 1/14/13)
- I would rate the bracelet as average Review by Stacy Popp
The clasp on the bracelet feels like it would break easily, especially since it is a child's bracelet. The face of the bracelet doesn't seem very scratch resistant, it already has scratches. Doesn't seem very durable for children. (Posted on 9/7/12)
- fantastic Review by emma
Bought for my 5loviin year old to wear to kindergarten. He loves it, reminds me to put on him every morning and all the kids atschool like it also. He says it is "super cool" delivered in one day just awesome. (Posted on 9/6/12)

- Great band Review by Carolyn Rhedin
I got this band for my 13 year old son and he has been wearing it since we got it with no complaints. Guess that sums it up right there. (Posted on 8/12/12)
- My son likes it very much Review by Jon Roberts
So easy to get your child to wear this, because it looks so cool to them. The worst part is his friends all want to wear his bracelet. Very durable bracelet for an active boy.

- My son LOVES his new bracelet! Review by Heather Cropper
My son was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes a few weeks ago. We thought it would be fun to let him help pick out a medical bracelet to wear, and this is what he picked. He was sooo excited when it came. It was easy to shorten (and the hint to melt the end of the strap was very helpful). The engraving looks great and everything seems to be very durable. We love it! (Posted on 4/9/12)
- Perfect fit Review by Elizabeth
My son loves his two new bracelets. These are longer than his others, and I'm glad he won't need to move up to the adult size for a while yet. The "barbed wire" and "flames" designs are perfect. (Posted on 3/22/12)
- Great for boys! Review by Sarah
My 9 year old son loves it, and so he always wears his medical ID - so I love it. (Posted on 2/25/12)
- awesome!! Review by Susie
My 5 year old son has type 1 diabetes and he loves his bracelet. I don't have to fight with him to wear it. He actually likes wearing it. (Posted on 2/21/12)
- Perfect for 7 year old son. Review by Blue Star
My son picked out this bracelet for his peanut allergy and although the picture shows it with a Black Medical Symbol, my son really wanted the Gold Medical Symbol and wow does it look awesome! He enjoys wearing it. The length was a bit long so you will probably need to cut it down. The tricky part was I cut it down and tried to feed it through the buckle before I melted the nylon ends so when I put it through the buckle, the ends frayed a little. But, all was fine after I melted the ends in place. You may want to melt the ends prior to feeding the braclet through to ensure no fraying. (Posted on 1/25/12)
- This band is my son's favorite! Review by Shay
My son was so happy to get his new medical ID bracelet that he put it on the afternoon it came in even though we were all at home together. The flames band sold it for him at 8 years old. It is the perfect size for his wrist. He wears it almost daily, rotating with the Aztec band. He now has a wishlist for more bracelets. This was the one perk he got for having just been diagnosed with epilepsy. (Posted on 1/24/12)
- Great! Review by Tímea
This med-id band is great for an 8 years old boy! He likes it much! Than you! :-) (Posted on 12/20/11)
- great Review by Angel
This bracelet is durable. I have tried others and they didn't even last a month. My son is six and loves his bracelet.It adjust to fit his small wrist. The clasp is easy enough for him to take it off on his own. I had his name engraved in it and I love that you can buy other bracelts and just slide the slider with all his important information on it. (Posted on 12/7/11)
- cool Review by christa
My son is 12 and although we always knew he had allergies, he recently went into anaphylactic shock after an allergy shot. He now has to carry epipens. My 12 year old was very concerned about the impact this will have on his social life. The fire band is cool and comfortable enough for him to wear everywhere and I know emergency personnel will have the info they need in case of an emergency. (Posted on 10/28/11)
- Really cool Review by Teresa Schwab
My son loves this band, it is the coolest. I like alot cause it is easy to adjust and convienent to snap together. (Posted on 5/1/11)
- Just right! Review by Diana Dessy
So far we have been very pleased with this medical ID band. It is adjustable for the small wrists of my 6 yr old. I really like that the slider has the engraving on the bottom, so its less likely that the important information will get scratched beyond recognition. The style & color of the band choices make it alot of fun for my son. (Posted on 4/28/11)
- great id Review by Amy Hathaway
My son loves his ID bracelet and shared it for show and tell the week he got it. (Posted on 4/13/11)

I purchased the bracelets for my son who was recently diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. He loves them too because they make him feel like he's a big boy and everyone at school likes them too. (Posted on 4/6/11)

The idea that the genetic code is evolving under pressure to
ameliorate errors—or indeed that it is evolving at
all—has not won universal assent. Some cogent objections were
set forth as early as 1967 by Carl R. Woese of the University of
Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Among other points, he noted that if a
trait is actively evolving, you would expect to see some variation.
In particular he called attention to the various
"extremophiles" that live at high temperature, high salt
concentration, and so on. These organisms tend to have unusual
proteins and unusual nucleic acids, but they all have the standard
genetic code.
The few variant codes known in protozoa and organelles are thought
to be offshoots of the standard code, but there is no evidence that
the changes to the codon table offer any adaptive advantage. In
fact, Freeland, Knight, Landweber and Hurst found that the variants
are inferior or at best equal to the standard code. It seems hard to
account for these facts without retreating at least part of the way
back to the frozen-accident theory, conceding that the code was
subject to change only in a former age of miracles, which we'll
never see again in the modern world.
Another challenge to the error-reduction hypothesis is the
difficulty of showing causation in an evolutionary context. Even if
the pattern of codon assignments is consistent with such a
mechanism, the same pattern might have arisen in some other way.
Computer experiments like Alff-Steinberger's and Freeland's reveal
nothing about pathways of evolution. A program churning out a
million random genetic codes is not what you expect to see in
nature. To simulate the step-by-step process of mutation and
selection is much more demanding; after all, the biosphere has been
working at it for a few billion years. Nevertheless, models of this
kind are being attempted. Guy Sella and David H. Ardell of Stanford
University are running a simulation that includes both a nucleic
acid genotype and a protein phenotype, linked by a mutable genetic
code. They point out that change can be introduced into the genetic
code without utterly disrupting cell metabolism if there are
multiple codons for a given amino acid, and some of them fall into
disuse; these rarely used codons are then free to take on new roles.
The mechanism is analogous to the gene duplication that often
precedes evolutionary divergence of proteins: One copy of the gene
carries on the original function, allowing the other to explore new
territory. Thus degeneracy or redundancy is not just an accidental
feature of the code but is necessary to allow scope for evolution.

GigapanMagazine.org vol 3 issue 1
Located at River Mile 116.5, Elve's Chasm is a refreshing stop with a quick hike up to this slot canyon where one can swim, climb, and jump into the crystal clear pool. With shadows moving quickly and covering the swimming area, I was forced to over-expose the downstream view in order to get a good image of the waterfall. Several members of our party climbed above this falls to explore the beautiful side canyon further while I shot this GigaPan. The water is plenty cold in April, but very nice until my jump from the falls landed way too flat with a smack to my rear end. It had been a long time since my backside stung so badly.
