Gillian x
This colour looks lovely on you xReplyDelete
Lily, I bought this the other day as well as the bright pink one and was so disappointed when I got home, the Superdrug bag had a hole in it so I must have dropped Luna in the street somewhere. It looks lovely as well..ReplyDelete
Rachel x
This shade really suits your complexion very well :) I wasn't too interested in the apolocalips release however I would like to buy this colour as it's the perfect peachy nude. xxReplyDelete

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Just don't tap off the PCV hose.
WOW, look what I started.
I think there are a few posts towards the beginning of this thread that just do not make sense. And that article by the GM tech is exactly why I am looking for manifold vacuum, and not ported. I have a vacuum gauge in the car and have double checked each vacuum port. I DO NOT have a manifold vacuum port on my carb ... which confirms what Holley said in the instructions.
I have since learned I can actually tap into one of the threaded holes on the intake and run a vacuum line off of it. I may try it that way.
|Rick WI
On almost all vehicles you will disconnect the vac line at the distributor and plug it, even my Pinto was that way.
If you were setup as true ported vacuum you'd have no vac signal to the vac advance at idle, assuming throttle blades are adjusted correctly. That ported source would not be exposed the the pressure differential.
No matter the port location, manifold or ported, once you are under wide open throttle either location will give the same signal to the vac canister. The reason, simple, they both are looking at the same thing. Absolute pressure in the intake.
If your carb is a restriction then you can have a vacuum reading at wide open throttle. It may only be 2 or 3 inches of pressure drop but may be enough to pull in some of the vac advance.
Hooking a vacuum gauge to the manifold port on the carb and taping the gauge to the windshield is a good way to figure out what is going on.
I'm not quite clear yet though on what your saying the GM Tech guy was saying versus the way you're thinking the 302 is setup.
|cliff tate
vacume advance
on the fords i amworking on you set timing with vacume line off, inst line and you get some advance even with throttle plates closed as much as poss [ using holley 650]their is some signal,itis my understanding 1 gets advance via the vacuum as well as centrifical until near full throttle. the gm teck is saying toatle advance is not effected under full throtle on manifold vacume. on the ford ported signal it seems that it combines to give toatle advance as the vacume only drops off under heavy load as engine lugs. my question is am i missing something. iam useing a older vacume unit on my 302 with shims to delay vac advance as with latter sealed unit had to much advance part throttle. engine is in a 32ford infront of a c6. again the gm guy explained ther manifold system very well.any ways this is a good discusion as always i learn somethig cliff
|Rick WI
|Cliff, I bet your wondering where you get the parts to "correct" the advance curves on a stock Ford distributor? That, I don't know. Almost every Ford engine we have done in the past 2 or 3 years has had an aftermarket unit on it.
|cool rockin daddy
|Huh? What I think Rick is trying to say is that if you have vacuum advance on your Ford (and most Ford's do), the same principals would apply as in the chevy article. I don't know squat about Fords and maybe the mechanical advance comes in differently or is a lot less or more than a typical chevy distributor but vacuum advance is vacuum advance!
|Rick WI
|What I am saying is the fundamentals are the same. Chevy used ported vacuum as well on a variety of applications.
|cliff tate
|Rick WI
|What is different between a Ford 4 stroke cycle and a Chevy? The fundamentals are the same.
|cliff tate
vacume advance
a very good artical by the x gm guy. but what about us ford guys wher they have ported advance, any one out ther to go over that system to enlighten the blue oval crowd. cliff
|Rick WI
|The all time (yes that's a pun) classic: Advance it till it pings and turn it back a tad.
|cool rockin daddy
|yes, all the exciting anecdotes and yarns on what 'ol granpappy did to the Rambler to get it timed or that Fonzi down the street went from full manifold vacuum to ported vacuum and picked up a tenth in the quarter and could run it on last nights beer! LOL
|Rick WI
|There will be lots of folks that will post it's BS, and that's too bad. For whatever reason folks have a very hard time wrapping their heads around how timing works and the purpose of it. You ALWAYS want to run vacuum advance on the street. Properly setup up base, mechanical and vac advance will always make a car run better and get better mileage.
|cool rockin daddy
This article clears up so many questions on this subject in a easy to understand way. The way this gentleman described it, I could actually picture the air/fuel mixture and the spark plug igniting it in my mind! Thank you for sharing this article. Full manifold vacuam for me from now on!
As an aside, I will be very curious as to how many people on the board are going to post views that refute what this ex-GM engineer has to say!
Quotation thanks to JohnZ
As many of you are aware, timing and vacuum advance is one of my favorite subjects, as I was involved in the development of some of those systems in my GM days and I understand it. Many people don't, as there has been very little written about it anywhere that makes sense, and as a result, a lot of folks are under the misunderstanding that vacuum advance somehow compromises performance. Nothing could be further from the truth. I finally sat down the other day and wrote up a primer on the subject, with the objective of helping more folks to understand vacuum advance and how it works together with initial timing and centrifugal advance to optimize all-around operation and performance. I have this as a Word document if anyone wants it sent to them - I've cut-and-pasted it here; it's long, but hopefully it's also informative.
The most important concept to understand is that lean mixtures, such as at idle and steady highway cruise, take longer to burn than rich mixtures; idle in particular, as idle mixture is affected by exhaust gas dilution. This requires that lean mixtures have "the fire lit" earlier in the compression cycle (spark timing advanced), allowing more burn time so that peak cylinder pressure is reached just after TDC for peak efficiency and reduced exhaust gas temperature (wasted combustion energy). Rich mixtures, on the other hand, burn faster than lean mixtures, so they need to have "the fire lit" later in the compression cycle (spark timing retarded slightly) so maximum cylinder pressure is still achieved at the same point after TDC as with the lean mixture, for maximum efficiency.
The centrifugal advance system in a distributor advances spark timing purely as a function of engine rpm (irrespective of engine load or operating conditions), with the amount of advance and the rate at which it comes in determined by the weights and springs on top of the autocam mechanism. The amount of advance added by the distributor, combined with initial static timing, is "total timing" (i.e., the 34-36 degrees at high rpm that most SBC's like). Vacuum advance has absolutely nothing to do with total timing or performance, as when the throttle is opened, manifold vacuum drops essentially to zero, and the vacuum advance drops out entirely; it has no part in the "total timing" equation.
At idle, the engine needs additional spark advance in order to fire that lean, diluted mixture earlier in order to develop maximum cylinder pressure at the proper point, so the vacuum advance can (connected to manifold vacuum, not "ported" vacuum - more on that aberration later) is activated by the high manifold vacuum, and adds about 15 degrees of spark advance, on top of the initial static timing setting (i.e., if your static timing is at 10 degrees, at idle it's actually around 25 degrees with the vacuum advance connected). The same thing occurs at steady-state highway cruise; the mixture is lean, takes longer to burn, the load on the engine is low, the manifold vacuum is high, so the vacuum advance is again deployed, and if you had a timing light set up so you could see the balancer as you were going down the highway, you'd see about 50 degrees advance (10 degrees initial, 20-25 degrees from the centrifugal advance, and 15 degrees from the vacuum advance) at steady-state cruise (it only takes about 40 horsepower to cruise at 50mph).
When you accelerate, the mixture is instantly enriched (by the accelerator pump, power valve, etc.), burns faster, doesn't need the additional spark advance, and when the throttle plates open, manifold vacuum drops, and the vacuum advance can returns to zero, retarding the spark timing back to what is provided by the initial static timing plus the centrifugal advance provided by the distributor at that engine rpm; the vacuum advance doesn't come back into play until you back off the gas and manifold vacuum increases again as you return to steady-state cruise, when the mixture again becomes lean.
The key difference is that centrifugal advance (in the distributor autocam via weights and springs) is purely rpm-sensitive; nothing changes it except changes in rpm. Vacuum advance, on the other hand, responds to engine load and rapidly-changing operating conditions, providing the correct degree of spark advance at any point in time based on engine load, to deal with both lean and rich mixture conditions. By today's terms, this was a relatively crude mechanical system, but it did a good job of optimizing engine efficiency, throttle response, fuel economy, and idle cooling, with absolutely ZERO effect on wide-open throttle performance, as vacuum advance is inoperative under wide-open throttle conditions. In modern cars with computerized engine controllers, all those sensors and the controller change both mixture and spark timing 50 to 100 times per second, and we don't even HAVE a distributor any more - it's all electronic.
Now, to the widely-misunderstood manifold-vs.-ported vacuum aberration. After 30-40 years of controlling vacuum advance with full manifold vacuum, along came emissions requirements, years before catalytic converter technology had been developed, and all manner of crude band-aid systems were developed to try and reduce hydrocarbons and oxides of nitrogen in the exhaust stream. One of these band-aids was "ported spark", which moved the vacuum pickup orifice in the carburetor venturi from below the throttle plate (where it was exposed to full manifold vacuum at idle) to above the throttle plate, where it saw no manifold vacuum at all at idle. This meant the vacuum advance was inoperative at idle (retarding spark timing from its optimum value), and these applications also had VERY low initial static timing (usually 4 degrees or less, and some actually were set at 2 degrees AFTER TDC). This was done in order to increase exhaust gas temperature (due to "lighting the fire late") to improve the effectiveness of the "afterburning" of hydrocarbons by the air injected into the exhaust manifolds by the A.I.R. system; as a result, these engines ran like crap, and an enormous amount of wasted heat energy was transferred through the exhaust port walls into the coolant, causing them to run hot at idle - cylinder pressure fell off, engine temperatures went up, combustion efficiency went down the drain, and fuel economy went down with it.
If you look at the centrifugal advance calibrations for these "ported spark, late-timed" engines, you'll see that instead of having 20 degrees of advance, they had up to 34 degrees of advance in the distributor, in order to get back to the 34-36 degrees "total timing" at high rpm wide-open throttle to get some of the performance back. The vacuum advance still worked at steady-state highway cruise (lean mixture = low emissions), but it was inoperative at idle, which caused all manner of problems - "ported vacuum" was strictly an early, pre-converter crude emissions strategy, and nothing more.
What about the Harry high-school non-vacuum advance polished billet "whizbang" distributors you see in the Summit and Jeg's catalogs? They're JUNK on a street-driven car, but some people keep buying them because they're "race car" parts, so they must be "good for my car" - they're NOT. "Race cars" run at wide-open throttle, rich mixture, full load, and high rpm all the time, so they don't need a system (vacuum advance) to deal with the full range of driving conditions encountered in street operation. Anyone driving a street-driven car without manifold-connected vacuum advance is sacrificing idle cooling, throttle response, engine efficiency, and fuel economy, probably because they don't understand what vacuum advance is, how it works, and what it's for - there are lots of long-time experienced "mechanics" who don't understand the principles and operation of vacuum advance either, so they're not alone.
Vacuum advance calibrations are different between stock engines and modified engines, especially if you have a lot of cam and have relatively low manifold vacuum at idle. Most stock vacuum advance cans arent fully-deployed until they see about 15 Hg. Manifold vacuum, so those cans dont work very well on a modified engine; with less than 15 Hg. at a rough idle, the stock can will dither in and out in response to the rapidly-changing manifold vacuum, constantly varying the amount of vacuum advance, which creates an unstable idle. Modified engines with more cam that generate less than 15 Hg. of vacuum at idle need a vacuum advance can thats fully-deployed at least 1, preferably 2 of vacuum less than idle vacuum level so idle advance is solid and stable; the Echlin #VC-1810 advance can (about $10 at NAPA) provides the same amount of advance as the stock can (15 degrees), but is fully-deployed at only 8 of vacuum, so there is no variation in idle timing even with a stout cam.
For peak engine performance, driveability, idle cooling and efficiency in a street-driven car, you need vacuum advance, connected to full manifold vacuum. Absolutely. Positively. Don't ask Summit or Jeg's about it they dont understand it, they're on commission, and they want to sell "race car" parts.

Home Invasion Suspects Arrested in St. Pete
ST. PETE, Fla (970 WFLA)- At about 12:30 am Thursday morning, St. Pete police officers responded to a home invasion robbery and attempt homicide at 261 79th Avenue NE.
The victim, Jihi McEvoy, was found by her son severely beaten and unable to communicate what had happen to her. She was transported to the Bayfront Medical Center with severe upper body trauma and is currently listed in critical condition.
Mickey White lives with his mother and had left her alone briefly while he went to run an errand with a friend. White said he had been contacted by an acquaintance, later identified as Carrie Marcink, who asked him to come with her to an ATM so she could play him back for an outstanding debt.
White was picked up by Marcink at about midnight, leaving his mother alone in the house and returned about half hour later.
Upon his return he found his mother lying on the floor brutally beaten with evidence that the house had been ransacked and valuables taken.
Detectives interviewed Carrie Marink who subsequently admitted that the two co-defendants had conspired with her to lure White out of the house for a brief period of time so that Tennis and Andrews could commit the home invasion robbery in his absents.
During her interview with detectives, Danielle Tennis also admitted to her participation in the robbery and claimed it was Andrews who beat the victim with his fists and feet while she searched the house for valuables.
Christopher Andrews was later arrested, but denied any involvement in the home invasion or beating of the victim.
Detectives have also determined that portions of the home invasion were captured on a neighbor's home surveillance system.
Marink, Tennis and Anderson are all being charge with home invasion robbery and attempted 1st degree murder. They have been booked in the Pinellas County Jail.

Walking Sticks
Walking sticks have been around since time immemorial, but it took a few millennia for the technology to really evolve. What started as the most basic of supports has since become a truly advanced medical device, capable of supporting your full weight without dragging you down as you move through life. Here at All Time Medical, we are proud to say we offer the best quality walking sticks available.
Why invest in high quality walking sticks? Studies have shown that our bipedal manner of getting around becomes a hazard once the exigencies of age make balance more difficult. The same principle that makes tricycles fail-proof devices applies here as well--two points makes a rickety foundation, but three is rock solid. Add a walking stick to your regular gait and you may greatly reduce the incidence of falls.
Of course, everyday strength help is important too. The truth is that walking sticks can easily take weight and stress off your hips and lower back, preserving your strength and making muscle aches at the end of the day far less severe. Today's best walking sticks are designed for this kind of heavy use, offering ergonomic handles, notched shafts that center your gravity and fully rubberized tips that will not slip even when wet.
Here at All Time Medical, we believe you should have more and better options when it comes to your mobility aids.

I know I've officially lost it when I am looking at 20+ year-old minivans
But for some reason (maybe all those Cal Worthington commercials I watched as a child), I have a liking for the short wheelbase, original Dodge Caravan / Plymouth Voyager (1984-1990)
Sitting behind one in traffic reminds me that it truly is a minivan, and not an SUV-sized vehicle misnomered as such.
These can now be picked up for grocery money. Obviously a Turbo would not be easy to find nor affordable, but one of the carb'd 4-cylinders or 6-cyl Mitsubishi-powered Vans (per WikiPedia) might make a good runabout for me, as the 99 coupe is not very practical for CostCo / veterinary shuttling runs.
Apparently the Transmissions are a weak point. I am sure there are many in junkyards, so parts should be plentiful.
According to this TCL thread, they are the "forgotton sportscar"

We're (slowly) adding video of the 2008 Executive Council meeting to YouTube. Check out what we have up so far:
From the news conference: Mayor Fenty, Governor O'Malley (two parts) and Governor Kaine.
From the public "poster session": presentations on Bay Program partners' progress on their champion roles (given by Peter Marx from the Bay Program office) and the Chesapeake TMDL (two parts, given by Jon Capacasa at EPA Region 3 and Rich Batiuk at the Bay Program office).
You can visit our YouTube channel to check out the rest of the footage as it is added.
Here at the American Society of Civil Engineers International Low-Impact Development (LID) Conference in Seattle, I'm swept up body and spirit by the growing throng of several hundred enthusiastic devotees to the cause of polluted runoff (a.k.a. "stormwater") reduction. As a non-engineer EPA bureaucrat, I'm a first-time participant in this biennial LID pilgrimage. But after three days of PowerPoint presentations and an all-day field trip to Portland, Oregon, which is the other "LID Mecca," I'm just about ready to compose my own rap tune out of cool LID lingo and design "treatment trains" (combinations of multiple LID techniques) in my sleep. When I get home I'll definitely take a new look at my own roof downspouts and concrete driveway, and think about how much reinforcement my carport will need before I can put a vegetable garden on the roof!
I used to be an engineer when I was a kid growing up in the suburbs of hilly central Connecticut. One of my favorite activities was building snow dams in the street gutter when the rain finally came and melted the snow on our particularly steep hill. It was great fun to pack the snow into a big ice dam and then, when the call came to go inside for dinner – invariably at 5:00 sharp – kick the dam open and send a big slushy gusher down the street. Down at the bottom of the hill it always flooded out of the street and into the Perraults' front yard. (Maybe that's why I felt guilty when I saw them at Sunday Mass.)
Of course at that time, I didn't see any connection between that phenomenon – the runoff gusher – and the fact that we could always catch trout in the Quinnipiac River upstream of the city but never caught any downstream. Or why we never found any oysters when we went way downstream to tromp through the mud in Long Island Sound, even though my grandfather and uncles told great stories of burlap sacks full.
From what I've learned thus far, the "treatment train" at a house like mine would go something like this:
By that point, you should have pretty well mimicked what the Chesapeake Bay watershed used to be: a beautiful hardwood forest with clean waters in healthy streams. With this LID "treatment train," now we can all be engineers! Choo Choo!
The 2008 Chesapeake Exective Council meeting is just two days away, and agencies throughout the Bay Program partnership are busy finalizing details for this annual event. This year, Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley, Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine, Washington, D.C., Mayor Adrian Fenty, EPA Administrator Stephen Johnson, and representatives from Pennsylvania, New York, Delaware, West Virginia, the USDA and the Chesapeake Bay Commission will be on hand to review the past year's Bay restoration efforts and set a new agenda for 2009. You can read more details about the meeting at the Bay Program's website.
The meeting will be held at Union Station in Washington and is open to the public from 12:30-3 p.m. We're also planning to have a live webcast of the meeting on our website; stay tuned for that link.
Yesterday I visited the Chesapeake Bay Environmental Center (CBEC), located in Grasonville on Maryland's Eastern Shore. It's an excellent spot for an afternoon walk, with trails that wind through salt marshes and loblolly pine stands. According to its website, CBEC has four miles of trails, two observation towers and two observation blinds, which are great to take photos from. There's also a one-mile water trail, with canoes and kayaks on-site available to rent (though it was a little too chilly to be out on the water yesterday!).
CBEC is also part of the Chesapeake Bay Gateways Network, a network of over 150 sites in Maryland, Virginia, D.C., Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Delaware and New York. Gateways include water trails, parks, wildlife preserves, museums and more. If you're looking for a way to experience the Chesapeake Bay or your local river, the Gateways Network has lots of spots to offer.
CBEC is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. every day. It's about a 20-minute drive from the Bay Bridge and there's a $5 per person admission charge. I hope you're able to go check it out!

Ministry Training Institutes
Ministry training institutes provide Foursquare churches with the opportunity to invest in leadership the way Jesus did, with relational teaching and opportunities for hands-on practice. They offer a cost-effective and convenient option for ministry training, ideal for leaders and laypeople alike.
What are Ministry Training Institutes?
In 1923, Aimee Semple McPherson founded Angelus Temple Evangelistic and Missionary Training School, which later became known as L.I.F. E. Bible College, and now is Life Pacific College. The purpose of that original Foursquare training institute was the same as the mission of our contemporary ministry training institutes—in Sister Aimee's words, "the practical training of evangelists for the harvest fields of life."
Download our 21 Questions and Answers for Prospective Institute Leaders (PDF, 144 KB) to learn more about how to launch and run an effective Ministry Training Institute.
What Types of Institutes Are There?
Schools of Ministry provide education solely as an extension of local church training, both to strengthen local leadership and to train men and women for Foursquare ministry.
Formal and Non-Formal Bible Institutes offer training that falls between the types of training offered by colleges and those offered by Schools of Ministry. Institute training culminates in a diploma or certificate of completion, and the purpose is often to train leaders to go out and pastor Foursquare churches. The scope of training at an institute is much broader than a School of Ministry.
Church-Based Bible Colleges have been authorized by their states to award associate's and/or bachelor's degrees, but are also hosted by a strong and healthy local church affording its students the opportunity to experience hands-on ministry skill training and character formation that is not typically found at most traditional Bible colleges.
What is the Emerging Leader Network (ELN)?
The Emerging Leader Network is an alliance of full-time, immersive schools of ministry designed to empower, train and release young leaders between the ages of 18 and 25. These "immersion discipleship" environments blend hands-on ministry, focused academic and mentoring relationships.
Learn more about ELNs by visiting EmergingLeaderNetwork.com.
Can my Foursquare church launch a Ministry Training Institute?
Yes! Though starting an institute requires intensive preparation and a long-term commitment from church staff, the results can be very rewarding.
Consider the following to see if a ministry training institute is the right fit for your church at this time:
- Since ministry training institutes are a long-term commitment, consider your church's vision for ministry over the next 10 years.
- Do you have qualified faculty available? Each instructor should have a minimum of a bachelor's degree from an accredited institution along with ministry experience.
- Are you willing to release people to become licensed ministers after they have completed training?
- Are there nearby churches that could partner with you in establishing an institute?
- Do you have facilities that can accommodate institute classrooms and a library, on a consistent, long-term basis?
- Does your church have the finances necessary to launch an institute? Facilities, equipment, and salaries all must be considered.
- Check out our 21 Questions and Answers for Prospective Institute Leaders, and prayerfully consider whether God is calling your church to launch a program at this time.
Help me get started!

Notable Oregonians: C.E.S. Wood - Soldier, Attorney, Writer
Charles Erskine Scott Wood was born in Erie, Pennsylvania on February 20, 1852 to William and Rose Mary Wood. He graduated from West Point Military Academy in 1874 and served as an army lieutenant. Wood fought in both the Nez Perce War in 1877 and the Bannock-Paiute War in 1878. It was in this capacity that he experienced the southeastern Oregon desert, described as a "lean and stricken land," that was to have a deep influence on him. While still in the military, he began contributing articles to periodicals. He also attended Columbia University and by 1883 he had collected a Ph.D. and a law degree.
The next year Wood left military service after he was admitted to the Oregon bar. He began a law practice in Portland that would span 35 years. Instrumental in founding the library and art museum, he became a leading figure in Portland's cultural scene. Meanwhile, he wrote both poetry and prose. His Poet in the Desert became a literary success soon after it was published in 1915. Ironically, while Wood was an avowed social anarchist, he served as attorney for one of eastern Oregon's biggest land monopolies. He argued a major land claim related to the old military wagon roads across Oregon and won a million dollar law fee.
Wood spent the last 25 years of his life with his second wife, poet Sara Bard Field, in the Los Gatos, California, retreat that they called "The Cats." Here he authored works that brought him national recognition. Among them was his satirical drama Heavenly Discourse, published in 1927, which soon became a bestseller.
Wood was a fascinating and polished personality, as at ease in a banker's drawing room as he was at a gathering of Wobblies. He drew friends from contrasting corners of society, including such well-known figures as Chief Joseph, Mark Twain, Emma Goldman, Ansel Adams, Robinson Jeffers, Clarence Darrow, Childe Hassam, Margaret Sanger, and John Steinbeck.
Wood died in Los Gatos, California on January 22, 1944.

Last November, two enterprising teachers were unjustly fired after maintenance staff saw them clearly "rehearsing" their sex ed presentation. Linda Waite, the New York High School Superintendent, stated that Cindy Mauro and Alini Brito were found in a classroom at 8:50 p.m. "naked," with one "on her knees" and one "lying on the floor," reports United Press International and NBC New York.
This sort of puritanical misunderstanding is outrageous. These two progressive educators should be commended for their innovative approach to sexual health by endeavoring to engage their students through performance art. This is high school. Statistics show that modern teens are indeed sexually active (ask them about those colored Jelly bracelets) and could benefit from a creative explanation of their sexual "options." Relax, parents. No teacher would recommend this type of mature demonstration to, say, elementary school children.
Not that educators shouldn't instruct their kindergarten classes in proper anatomical terminology, or first graders about sexual orientation and gay slurs, or fifth graders about various types of…penetration. In fact, the recent hullabaloo over Helena, Montana's new sex ed program for grades K-5 is absurd. Anyone accusing these administrators of nefarious intent is pathologically prudish. Helena brought the best minds of the community to the table to revamp the curriculum. I mean, they had a "committee," and conducted an "intense review," utilizing the…
…best practices and research-based information from state and national health organizations, Burson said, and the draft incorporates the district's philosophy of teaching to the whole child. (Emphasis mine.)
I really don't think you people want a bunch of six year old "half" children walking around saying words like "wee wee" and "pee pee," do you? Cultural nightmare!
Indeed, these officials are working tirelessly to educate the whole American child from cradle to college coed. Sure they have some kinks to work out, like "accidentally" authorizing condom distribution to first graders in Provincetown, Mass. Whoops! Just a procedural error. School superintendent Beth Singer (author of the district "condom policy") assures us that no more condoms will be available to younger children, and that the policy will be "age-appropriate"— they'll wait until, like, fifth grade.
State officials' acknowledgment of "age-appropriateness" should certainly assuage any remaining parental fears, even the President himself recognizes the need for "age-appropriate" curriculum. After all, he personally selected Kevin Jennings as Safe-Schools Czar with this very issue in mind. Jennings understands the delicate balance between respect for childhood innocence and fomenting adolescent lust which is precisely why he waited until children were 14 to tell them how to properly "fist" someone. That level of moral discernment should dispel any residual concern about educational intent. Likewise, no parent should doubt whether children need this instruction. Of course they do.
After all, children will have sex. It's an inevitability. We should give these little sexual beings all the tools necessary to make informed decisions, the younger the better! To deny their sexuality almost seems, I don't know, a hostile act against their personhood—a bourgeois power play, even. Perhaps a history lesson (content warning) from Germany would be instructive:
Sexual liberation was at the top of the agenda of the young revolutionaries who, in 1967, began turning society upside down. The control of sexual desire was seen as an instrument of domination, which bourgeois society used to uphold its power. Everything that the innovators perceived as wrong and harmful has its origins in this concept: man's aggression, greed and desire to own things, as well as his willingness to submit to authority. The student radicals believed that only those who liberated themselves from sexual repression could be truly free.
To them, it seemed obvious that liberation should begin at an early age. Once sexual inhibitions had taken root, they reasoned, everything that followed was merely the treatment of symptoms. They were convinced that it was much better to prevent those inhibitions from developing in the first place. Hardly any leftist texts of the day did not address the subject of sexuality.
For instance, "Revolution der Erziehung" ("The Revolution in Education"), a work published by Rowohlt in 1971, which quickly became a bestseller, addresses sexuality as follows: "The de-eroticization of family life, from the prohibition of sexual activity among children to the taboo of incest, serves as preparation for total assimilation — as preparation for the hostile treatment of sexual pleasure in school and voluntary subjugation to a dehumanizing labor system.
Well, maybe that's a tad extreme. Admittedly, European leftists really went that extra mile. No worries, though. American culture and educational philosophy is quite impervious to European influence. No similarities at all, moms and dads!
You can sleep soundly knowing the State will tenaciously, relentlessly seek out pioneering new ways to do more age-appropriate things to more children, earlier…with or without your consent.
Trust them.

I used to count fish. Most probably do when they start fishing as a way to catalogue it, or for whatever reason. I stopped mostly after reading Longest Silence–if you did you probably know the exact passage about "trout number seven"–and also because it is a nonsensical way to record a fishing experience.
Looking back on my fishing journals, I recorded a day in the year 2000 where I caught 30 just-stocked brook trout on a river where I paid for a beat. Should that carry more weight than the trip that year down the Rio Hatiguanico in Cuba? The one with the ornithologist who served me rum and helped me hook my first tarpon on fly? By numbers it does.
So I started counting days. In 2008 I recorded over 100 excursions with a fly rod and I knew with the birth of my first child that year that the pace would not last unless I moved to Florida and/or won the lottery. In 2013, I recorded 52. Once a week seems more than reasonable for someone in a northern locale with a full-time job and family, and who is not a guide.
Still, counting days is not a perfect math, either. The year in my head doesn't add up to the numbers on the page–a notion my wife would find insane¹. Maybe it's because I turned down as many invitations to fish as times I actually spent fishing–I am probably the king of the "Yeah sounds awesome oh wait I can't" response. Maybe it's because of the skunk days I withstood trying to force carp to like me. But likely it's because much of my fishing time came in clusters or consisted of stolen moments².
Either way, in 2013 I got to be on the water in some of my favorite places in the world in both Florida and New York with some of my favorite people and also got to watch my two daughters catch panfish on little pink Ugly Sticks by the dozen. So, yeah, 2013 was good. And as the great Neil Young sings, "numbers add up to nothing."
Happy New Year.

WaPo and CBS reporters: Yeah, actually, it makes a difference, Hillary
posted at 3:01 pm on January 23, 2013 by Ed Morrissey
"What difference does it make?" an angry Hillary Clinton retorted when Senator Ron Johnson pressed her on why the administration pushed the false narrative on Benghazi. I've already responded, but in case that's not enough, CBS News reporter Sharyl Attkisson has a thought on that question:
It makes a difference.
— Sharyl Attkisson (@SharylAttkisson) January 23, 2013
The Washington Post's Erik Wemple explains why:
No matter your view of the media's role in Benghazi; no matter your take on whether U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Susan Rice leveled with the country on the Sept. 16 talk shows; no matter your view of Fox News's Benghazi campaign, it surely does make a difference whether it was "because of a protest or was it because of guys out for a walk one night who decided they'd go kill some Americans." It makes a difference to the media, the public, the government, everyone.
The trustworthiness of the administration's version of events — even the early one — makes a difference. Whether it was hard-core terrorism or a spontaneous attack or something else — that makes a difference too, with strong implications for intelligence accountability. Goodness gracious, in her very own statement, Clinton herself even seems to acknowledge that it makes a difference, when she says, "It is our job to figure out what happened …"
At one point in the proceedings, Clinton stated, "Maybe we didn't do a good enough job of explaining that we didn't have a good picture." Yes, that would have helped.
National Review's Eliana Johnson points out that it mattered to the White House — when they could blame it on a YouTube video:
Setting aside Clinton's bizarre decision to assign varying weights to these matters, her response is uncharacteristically flippant for someone of her stature. Isn't it essential why four Americans were murdered, and why this information wasn't promptly or accurately conveyed to the American people? Wasn't answering that question one of the central purposes of today's hearing?
Clinton's dismissal of the impetus behind the attack also stands in stark contrast to nearly everything senior officials of the Obama administration said publicly about it in the days that followed, including both the president and Clinton herself — that is, when the administration was blaming the attack on a YouTube video. In opening remarks for a strategic dialogue with Morocco — video below — which occurred four days after the Benghazi attack, Clinton said, "There is no justification, none at all, for responding to this video with violence. We condemn the violence that has resulted in the strongest terms."
The idea that the cause of the attack should now take a backseat to other concerns seems all too convenient.
And transparently so.

Climate sensitivity: Plus ça change…
So in order to constrain the climate sensitivity from the paleo-data, we need to find a period under which our restricted subsystem is stable – i.e. all the boundary conditions are relatively constant, and the climate itself is stable over a long enough period that we can assume that the radiation is pretty much balanced. The last glacial maximum (LGM) fits this restriction very well, and so is frequently used as a constraint. From at least Lorius et al (1991) – when we first had reasonable estimates of the greenhouse gases from the ice cores, to an upcoming paper by Schneider von Deimling et al, where they test a multi-model ensemble (1000 members) against LGM data to conclude that models with sensitivities greater than about 4.3ºC can't match the data. In posts here, I too have used the LGM constraint here to demonstrate why extremely low (< 1ºC) or extremely high (> 6ºC) sensitivities can probably be ruled out.
In essence, I was using my informed prior beliefs to assess the likelihood of a new claim that climate sensitivity could be really high or low. My understanding of the paleo-climate record implied (to me) that the wide spread of results from (for instance, the first reports from the climateprediction.net experiment) were a function of their methodology but not a possible feature of the real world. Specifically, if one test has a stronger constraint than another, it's natural to prefer the stronger constraint, or in other words, an experiment that produces looser constraints doesn't make previous experiments that produced stronger constraints invalid. This is an example of 'Bayesian inference'. A nice description of how Bayesian thinking is generally applied is available at James Annan's blog (here and here).
Of course, my application of Bayesian thinking was rather informal, and anything that can be done in such an arm waving way is probably better done in a formal way since you get much better control on the uncertainties. This is exactly what Annan and Hargreaves have done. Bayes theorem provides a simple formula for calculating how much each new bit of information improves (or not) your prior estimates and this can be applied to the uncertain distribution of climate sensitivity.
A+H combine three independently determined constraints using Bayes Theorem and come up with a new distribution that is the most likely given the different pieces of information. Specifically they take constraints from the 20th Century (1 to 10ºC), the constraints from responses to volcanic eruptions (1.5 to 6ºC) and the LGM data (-0.6 to 6.1ºC – a widened range to account for extra paleo-climatic uncertainties) to come to a formal Bayesian conclusion that is much tighter than each of the individual estimates. They find that the mean value is close to 3ºC, and with 95% limits at 1.7ºC and 4.9ºC, and a high probability that sensitivity is less than 4.5ºC. Unsurprisingly, it is the LGM data that makes very large sensitivities extremely unlikely. The paper is very clearly written and well worth reading for more of the details.
The mathematics therefore demonstrates what the scientists basically thought all along. Plus ça change indeed…

Notable Oregonians: Bill Naito - Businessman, Civic Leader
William "Bill" Naito was born to Hide and Fukiye Naito in Portland in 1925. His parents had emigrated from Japan in 1912 and owned a downtown Portland curio shop where Bill helped out during his youth. The family left the business and moved in with relatives in Salt Lake City to avoid being sent to an internment camp in the wake of the Pearl Harbor attack in 1941.
After graduating from high school in Utah, Naito joined the Army in 1944, serving in the famed 442nd Infantry Regiment before duty as a Military Intelligence Service translator during the post-war occupation of Japan.
He received an honorable discharge in 1946 and returned to Portland, where he enrolled at Reed College, graduating with an economics degree three years later. Naito earned a master's degree in economics from the University of Chicago in 1951. While there, he met and married his wife, Millicent.
In 1952, Naito returned to Portland to work with his father and brother, Sam, in the family's import business. In 1962, they bought and renovated a former hotel building in a rundown area of downtown that is now known as Old Town. The family called the new venture Import Plaza and its success led them to buy and renovate other vacant and neglected old buildings in downtown. They opened the Galleria shopping mall with dozens of shops and cafes in 1976 after renovating an 1910 six-story department store building. Over time, the family renovated more than 20 historic Portland buildings.
In addition to the family's business efforts to revitalize downtown Portland, Naito also worked on the civic front. He was a strong backer of a proposed light rail system (which became MAX when it opened in 1986) and other transportation improvements such as the transit mall, Portland Streetcar, Portland Vintage Trolley, and Fareless Square—all efforts to stem the tide of business to the suburbs by making visits to downtown safer, more attractive, and more efficient.
Naito worked on more than business and transportation. He also led an effort to plant more than 10,000 trees in the city. He donated space for the popular and eclectic arts and crafts fair known as Saturday Market. And, he fought for adequate funding for the Multnomah County Library.
While wealthy, Naito didn't flaunt it. He shared an open office space with his employees and drove old cars. A self-described "gregarious workaholic," Naito was a popular figure in Portland and his vision for a vital downtown continues to pay dividends. Among other honors, Front Avenue running along the eastern edge of downtown was renamed SW Naito Parkway in 1996.
Naito died on May 8, 1996.

Latest reports from the United States Census Bureau describe a world marching slowly, but surely to an aged population. The world is soon to cross a demographic landmark of tremendous social and economic importance when the proportion of the global population aged 65 and over outnumbers children under the age of 5. The report, "An Aging World: 2008″ claims within ten years older people will constitute a larger number than children under the age of five. Over the coming thirty years the number of those over the age of 65 will double from 506 million to about 1.3 billion, a leap from constituting 7% of the population to 14%. Each month those who are 65 and over increase by 875,000.
Europe is the oldest area of the world and contains 23 of the 25 world's oldest populations. Japan tops the list with a life expectancy of about 85 while Zimbabwe is the reverse with the lowest life expectancy of 40 due to the corrupt and incompetent government of President Mugabe. The economic and social implications for this change are dramatic, but few, if any, governments are even contemplating changes that must be made. For example, life expectancy for French men and women after 65 is now close to 20 years. Around half of women 65 and over in Denmark, Germany, and Slovakia are on their own.
It is time for the UN to begin a world wide focus on implications for the aging world.

I'm betting that the CZ will be more accurate, by a significant margin. I am only an average marksman, and I can empty a magazine, unsupported, into a paper plate at 25 yards nearly every time...something I cannot always do with a 4" handgun, much less a 3".
Having said that, however, I had some feed problems with mine, early on, and had to send it back to the factory for a serious 'fluff and buff,' before it would reliably feed hollow point ammo. Still, it's a great little pistol, and one of my all time favorites to shoot. Supposedly, the feed problems have been corrected. If that is true, the RAMI is one of the all-time great compacts, in my opinion.
The M&P is well liked by those who own them, too. The only negative I have heard was from Gun Test magazine, whose M&P compact test gun would only shoot 4" groups off of a rest, even after sending it back to the factory.

What are these for ? Other than a compliance part?
Origin Shotgun Receiver-accepts Saiga 12 magazines : Semi-auto at GunBroker.com
I read some nonsense about them coming out with their own shotgun based on the Saiga design. Pretty useless as far as I can see, it's not like you can get a Saiga kit. Plus they have a real bad rep based on their infamous wraithmaker drum.
I just followed your link. It says something about them coming out with their own kits after the first of the year. Based on their previous train wreck with the drums, I'd still steer clear.
me too....
The drums they manufacture are clunky, overcomplicated, cumbersome, and heavy as all getout. They're basically worthless, except for the fact that you pay $350 to get one.
I wouldn't buy from them...
Let's not forget that in order to get most shotguns to even function with one of their drums, You have to send them your shotgun for their $180 "reliability service" what a freakin' scam.
Forget about the AA drums - MD 20's are the best!
Agree that their "tuning" process for the drums is... odd to say the least. I for one don't like the design that I saw since the ammunition is completely exposed to the environment. I suppose for that uber-cool "tactical entry" situation, it would be OK. I didn't realize they would not warrant their work with other items. That does sound over the top... modifying the gun to work only with a magazine.
I for one would welcome yet another US-built receiver, however if one is going to go the extra mile to build the other US parts for a shotty, then a receiver would be trivial.
Looking at the receiver pics, I see a few concerns here.
- THAT LOGO IS HUGE! They are guaranteeing that you will be stuck with the AR-style folding mechanism, or have to re-stamp the receiver elsewhere, ala OOW receivers, and have a cut-up logo that you would need to bondo over to look 'good'. Yuck.
- Their "concept" picture implies an AR-style operating rod. I'm guessing they are going to attempt to make a competitor for the AA-12. "ATTEMPT".
- What's the deal with the laser-etched lettering? Do we need a SN and SAFE/FIRE lettering pattern that is about 1/2" tall?!?
- Why keep the original Saiga-style trigger location? Other than Kali-compliance?
- It appears to be either their prototyping results OR they are planning to get into the shotgun building as a full-time endeavor. That could be interesting.
If however their receiver is tuned only to THEIR magazines, then that would be an unfortunate decision since their target market would shrink significantly. It is obvious that the 10-rounders on the market are here to stay, so they need to play WITH the other kids on the playground, not against them.
It is interesting that the wording of their advert implies they are working on all the parts now, and you simply need to "mail it back" to them to build. It seems like they are trying to generate revenue with the receivers as the "down payment" for their longer-term fabrication projects.
Very insightful post Pook.

Trout Fishing in Georgia
2017 Trout Stocking Information
Georgia's approximately 4,000 miles of trout streams are relatively unproductive when compared to streams found in other parts of the country. This is, in part, due to the calcium deficient soils found in north Georgia. Therefore, to meet the demands of over 100,000 trout anglers, stocking is used on some streams to maintain acceptable catch rates. The Wildlife Resources Division and the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service stock streams with rainbow and brown trout. Fishing pressure, accessibility, and water conditions are considered when determining the number of trout a stream should receive and the stocking frequency. In general, streams on public land are stocked more often and with greater numbers of trout.
Respect Private Property: Many trout streams are located on private property. It is your responsibility to know when you cross a property line. Always obtain permission from the landowner before entering or fishing on private property.

The sad case of sexual abuse of children by priests can never have anything other than a conclusion which does not please anyone. The United States Supreme Court refused to hear a request from the Vatican that it be granted "sovereign immunity" from prosecution in a case involving a man known as "John Doe." Mr. Doe alleges that he was abused in Portland, Oregon by a priest named Father Andrew Ronan and nothing was done to prevent these actions. At the heart of the Doe case is a charge that Father Ronan had abused children in Ireland, then in Chicago, and then in Portland because instead of being taken away from contact with children, the church allowed him to pursue his activities in order to avoid embarrassment. The Court refused to recognize the concept of sovereign immunity and allowed a trial to proceed.
There is no doubt Pope Benedict opposes priests who have engaged in sexual abuse and is attempting to prevent future occurrences. At this point, the best policy to be pursued is allowing cases to come to trial, place priests on the witness stand, and allow them to suffer the consequences of their actions.

I live in Harlingen, I have a small group of people that I ball with regularly. We're not really interested in joining a team, as we would only be able to play Saturdays, but if you just want to ball together we'd be up for that.

There are at least two bands by the name of Sparta. 1. An American alternative rock band active in the 2000s 2. A British metal band active in the 1980s 1. Sparta is an alternative rock band which formed in El Paso, Texas in 2001. The band originally consisted of Jim Ward (vocals), Paul Hinojos (guitar) and Tony Hajjar (drums), all former members of At the Drive-In. After a brief stint with Erick Sanger, the three of them recruited Matt Miller, an El Paso native and then-bassist of Belknap to become the band's permanent bassist. Read more on Last.fm more

The CERN/CLOUD results are surprisingly interesting…
The long-awaited first paper from the CERN/CLOUD project has just been published in Nature. The paper, by Kirkby et al, describes changes in aerosol nucleation as a function of increasing sulphates, ammonia and ionisation in the CERN-based 'CLOUD' chamber. Perhaps surprisingly, the key innovation in this experimental set up is not the presence of the controllable ionisation source (from the Proton Synchrotron accelerator), but rather the state-of-the-art instrumentation of the chamber that has allowed them to see in unprecedented detail what is going on in the aerosol nucleation process (this is according to a couple of aerosol people I've spoken about this with).
This paper is actually remarkably free of the over-the-top spin that has accompanied previous papers, and that bodes very well for making actual scientific progress on this topic.
The paper first confirms some results that are well known: aerosol nucleation increases enormously when you add H2SO4 into the air (the biggest contributor to human aerosol impacts via the oxidation of our emissions of SO2), it increases further when you add ammonia (NH3), and it increases even more when you increase ionisation levels from neutral, to ambient ground levels, and to upper atmospheric levels (as long as you are below what is called the 'ion-pair' limit). However, the most intriguing result is that despite going to a lot of trouble to make sure the chamber was ultra-free of contaminants, the researchers found that within most of the aerosols that formed, there were traces of organic nitrogen compounds that must have been present in almost undetectably low concentrations. The other intriguing finding is that aerosol nucleation rates in the chamber don't match (by a an order of magnitude or more) actual formation rates seen in real world near-surface atmospheric layers at realistic temperatures (only in unrealistically cold conditions do rates come close). The authors speculate (quite convincingly) that this is precisely because they didn't have enough volatile organic compounds (which are ubiquitous in the real world) to help get the nucleation started. This result will surely inspire some of their next experiments. All-in-all this is a treasure trove of results (and potential future results) for people tasked with trying to model or understand aerosol processes in the atmosphere.
Figure 1: Annotated version of fig 5 in Kirkby et al. Small dots are in situ observations, lines are other lab data. Colours for the CLOUD results are coded with respect to temperature. Going from open to filled symbols denote increasing NH3. All results are for ambient CR ionisation (changes in CR only make a difference below the ion-pair limit).
However, aerosol nucleation experiments are not usually front page news, and the likely high public profile of this paper is only loosely related to the science that is actually being done. Rather, the excitement is based on the expectation that this work will provide some insight into the proposed cosmic ray/cloud/climate link that Svensmark (for instance) has claimed is the dominant driver of climate change (though note he is not an author on this paper, despite an earlier affiliation with the project). Indeed, the first justification for the CLOUD experiment was that: "The basic purpose of the CLOUD detector … is to confirm, or otherwise, a direct link between cosmic rays and cloud formation by measuring droplet formation in a controlled test-beam environment". It is eminently predictable that the published results will be wildly misconstrued by the contrarian blogosphere as actually proving this link. However, that would be quite wrong.
We were clear in the 2006 post that establishing a significant GCR/cloud/climate link would require the following steps (given that we have known that ionisation plays a role in nucleation for decades). One would need to demonstrate:

Ghostface Killah
Work with the Wu-Tang and their various members kept Ghostface Killah busy until solo singles started appearing at the end of 1999, followed by his sophomore full-length, Supreme Clientele, in early 2000. Supreme Clientele was a success, but it was followed a year later by Bulletproof Wallets, an album that didn't sell well and had fans declaring the Ironman had gone soft. Once again it was back to the Wu for a couple years before the rapper would be appearing solo again. Epic issued the compilation Shaolin's Finest in April of 2003, and by the end of the year two new Ghostface tracks had appeared on mixtapes: the chaotic "Run" with Jadakiss and the more commercial "Tush" with Missy Elliott raised the anticipation for the rapper's first album for Def Jam and his first under the simpler moniker Ghostface. The Pretty Toney Album hit the streets in April of 2004. The Top Ten hit Fishscale, along with More Fish, followed in 2006, but not before 718 -- an album from his Theodore Unit.
Always prolific, the rapper put out The Big Doe Rehab -- whose release date had originally coincided with Wu-Tang's long-awaited fifth full-length, 8 Diagrams, which RZA agreed to push back a week so as to not coincide with Ghost's effort -- in early December 2007. Ghostface returned in 2008 with a pair of compilations: The Wallabee Champ (rarities and B-sides) and GhostDeini the Great (including remixes, alternate versions, and career highlights). Influenced by R&B and focused on the ladies, his 2009 album, Ghostdini the Wizard of Poetry, was a significant departure. The more traditional effort, Apollo Kids, landed in 2010 with special guests Redman, Busta Rhymes, and the Game. Another significant departure arrived in early 2013 with the release of Twelve Reasons to Die, a collaborative effort with film composer Adrian Younge. Inspired by the Italian murder mystery/slasher film genre known as giallo, it was a concept album based around Ghost's Tony Starks alter ego. Starks appeared once again on the following year's 36 Seasons, a return to a more straightforward gangsta rap sound. Largely produced by the Revelations, it featured guest spots from the likes of AZ, Kool G Rap, and Pharoahe Monch. Sour Soul followed in 2015 and featured music from BadBadNotGood, the Toronto-based jazz trio. That same year, composer Younge returned for Twelve Reasons to Die II, a sequel featuring guest appearances from Vince Staples, RZA, and Raekwon. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

University of St. Thomas junior education student Christina Vargas has a unique perspective on her bilingual-education teacher training. From kindergarten to her sophomore year of high school, Vargas took classes in Spanish and English at the Helms Community Learning Center, a dual-language school that had a unique partnership with UST.
In 1995, UST adopted Helms, a low performing, inner-city school, and helped develop a program to teach students in both English and Spanish. While many Texas schools have transitional programs designed for Spanish-speaking children to learn English quickly, the dual-language program helps students become fluent in both languages. Although the partnership, formerly directed by UST professor of education, Dr. Higinia Torres-Rimbau, is no longer in effect, many UST education students observe classes and student-teach at Helms.
Vargas knew she wanted to be a teacher and chose to attend UST because of the long-standing relationship the University has had with Helms.
"Dr. Rimbau was here and all of my favorite teachers came here," said Vargas. "The classes are so small that you build relationships with the professors."
Vargas said she is confident her UST education degree will prepare her for teaching and help her secure a job when she leaves.
As part of Torres-Rimbau's class "Spanish Literature for Children and Adolescents," Vargas dressed in overalls with her face painted to read to more than 200 dual-language elementary students at Wharton Elementary in April. Her story "Pedrito Conejo" is the Spanish version of "The Tale of Peter Rabbit."
"I didn't want to dress up as a bunny so I was the farmer who catches Peter Rabbit stealing his rabanos, his radishes," said Vargas.
The students listening included Middle Eastern and Asian students, Caucasian students and Hispanic students, all of whom spoke Spanish.
"I was so surprised to see children from different cultures and different ethnicities," Vargas said, "And they all spoke Spanish."
Most of the kids in Vargas' own dual-language elementary classes at Helms were native Spanish-speakers learning English; however, Vargas was a native English speaker whose Hispanic family didn't speak Spanish at home. It was her only exposure to the language.
"It was a culture shock because I didn't grow up in a Spanish-speaking home," said Vargas.
However, by sixth grade Vargas was fluent and she has a good understanding of Spanish grammar and composition.
"When she started this program, she spoke no Spanish," Torres-Rimbau said. "Now she's fluent enough, she's preparing to teach in Spanish. Being in that program really changed her skill set. It provided her with a level of Spanish that she wouldn't have learned from her family and that's why she chose it."
Torres-Rimbau said 14 schools in the Houston Independent School District have dual-language programs and many suburban districts are beginning to implement the program. Public schools like Helms with dual-language classes have become very popular and the students score at or above the national percentile rate for their grade.
"A lot of English-speaking parents want their kids in that program," said Torres-Rimbau. "It's become a magnet program."
Vargas said knowing two languages has helped her during several jobs, including her current job at Chase Bank.
"The area I'm working in is predominantly Hispanic," said Vargas. "Everybody speaks Spanish; it's necessary so I can build rapport with the customers."
Torres-Rimbau said education students interested in teaching at the elementary level should consider studying bilingual education.
"There is opportunity in the area and it's a very rewarding thing to be able to teach children, not only in their native language, but to help them become fluent in both," said Torres-Rimbau.
Even if the education students are not native Spanish speakers, UST has opportunities to become fluent.
"You have to be willing to work at it," Torres-Rimbau said. "You have four years to become better. We have a lot of study abroad opportunities, so if you're not fluent, you can plan to become fluent."
Vargas said she hopes to be back at Helms for her required student observations.
"I want to keep that relationship," said Vargas. "Who knows, I could be back there teaching one day."

Goats chew away fire dangers
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - They work day and night, never complain and get all they can eat while on the job. A herd of goats is also reducing fire dangers in our local hills.
Ian Newsam with Brush Goats 4 Hire from Buellton, says he has many requests for his goats. He began the business seven years ago.
This week a herd of 150 goats are on T.V. Hill off Carrillo. Already you can see the difference they have made. The grasses and small shrubs are disappearing one bite at a time.
With hand crews, "it's extremely deep and extremely steep," said Newsam.
The Santa Barbara City Fire Department says the goats have helped property owners with the required weed abatement to reduce fire dangers. The city has also hired the company for some park space that's thick with brush and posing some concerns.
"We do like the goats. We've seen they've been a positive tool for us to use," said Ann Marx, S.B. Fire Wildland Specialist.
The goats come in many sizes and shapes. "The taller guys can clear up to nine feet by standing on their hind legs. They can get between rocks and in between fallen branches," said Newsam.
The goats are kept in their target zone by a low power electronic fence. There are also two predator dogs to keep intruders out, including coyotes.
They also work around the clock. At night it's common for them to wake up and eat for awhile, and then go back to sleep.
The goats are expected to be on the hill, and very visible to nearby residents for about another week.

@ Milwaukee RADIO : 1130 WDFN AM NO IDEA IF THIS WILL BE ON TV, THE NBA HATES US.
Nope, It won`t be. The game is in that afternoon time slot, and it`s Sunday so..... No soup for you!!
The Bucks are missing Andrew Bogut, Earl Boykins, Dan Gadzuric, Bobby Simmons, and Charlie Villanueva. The Bucks aren't missing Michael Redd. Pistons by 2.
And we won't have 'Sheed, Lindsey (?) and I think Chauncey should sit this one out.
Andrew Bogut ~ -2 Earl Boykins ~ -1 Dan Gadzuric ~ +1 Bobby Simmons ~ +1 Charlie Villanueva ~ +2 Yep, definitely in our favour.
what do the +/- numbers mean scoe?
If you're plus then that is good for the Bucks that you're out. If you're minus, they actually miss you.
This game is on Detroit TV 20 on tape delay at 7:00 PM. Chat will be open for the game at that time.
This is crap. Can't we just refuse to play on Sundays then? What kind of planning goes into this garbage? Hell, I wouldn't schedule a game on Sunday if I had to deal with this crap. But, then again everyone still gets paid so why would they care?
No Sheed and no Rip for this one. Maxiell and Flip start with CB, C-Webb and Tay. For all you delayed tv peeps, watch for a bright start from Maxy.
37 points in the 2nd quarter. Bench boys doing good.
:rant2: Wait! I can't even find our game on League Pass. It's like we went into an NBA black hole or something. Come on. There's nine League Pass channels. They aren't all taken. This is such a drag. I had to upgrade to digital cable in order to get League Pass and mess up my whole vcr situation where I could record two games and watch another.Now I can only record the game that the cable box is on. It sucks. And then....No Pistons?!!
If it ain't on ABC, it ain't on anywhere-----that sux. btw, final Detroit 121 Milwaukee 95 sounds like an oldfashioned buttwhoopen to me.
Just watching the text version of this game isn't quite the fix of watching it on NBA League Pass but I'll take what I can get (shakes fist at ABC). Wowie zowie on the complete spanking of the Bucks who are definitely lottery bound but still pride is always a factor. Remember the Pistons didn't have Rip and Sheed in this game but Maxiell came to play. How in the world does Flipper not find minutes for this guy? I know, I know a rhetorical question since Amir Johnson should be in the line-up as well. Is CWebb just showing the pangs of end of the season fatigue or is his game fading down the stretch? He did have 5 assists but his shot seems to have abandoned him. I'm actually excited for next year with our young gunslingers (Maxiell, Amir Johnson, and Delfino) all ready to step in and play a more major role. Chauncey better be careful what he wishes for since Flip Murray is making quite a case to be a starter on someone's team if not ours. I'm going to call Delfino our X-Factor, notice that in the quarters he plays lately the Pistons always outscore their opponets and hold them down to much fewer points than quarters 1 & 3. Call it a coincidence but it is happening quite a bit and some of you stat keeper junkies can call me out on this but I'm convinced that Carlos is the lucky charm guy for this team. Whoo hoo a win is a win and let Rip sit a few more games until he gets back to wanting to play hoops more and whining less.
What a blowout!! Nice job guyz.
What's up with C-Webb? One of 8 from the field.
He has the flu, and has had for the past 3 games.
I did a complete play by play off the radio broadcast over at detnews.com if anyone cares to go read that. Not a whole lot different from game logs, but I did try to add a bit to that.
it's so sad that it takes 2 injured starter to make FLip play the bench. Why not give DD, Nazr and Maxiell burn like this on a constant basis? That must have been one great game by Jmax, btw.

"Now more than ever, we must take up the commandment to 'Defend the poor and the orphan; deal justly with the poor and the destitute. Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked.'"
Contact: Eric Harris or David Goodman
202.387.2800 | firstname.lastname@example.com
WASHINGTON, D.C., July 21, 2010 -- A letter coordinated by the Religious Action Center and signed by more than 200 North American Rabbis from across the denominational spectrum was sent yesterday to Congressional leaders, advocating increased funding for programs in the Child Nutrition Reauthorization Act. The full text of letter follows:
Dear Leader Reid, Leader McConnell, Speaker Pelosi, Leader Boehner, Senators Lincoln and Chambliss, and Representatives Miller and Kline,
As Rabbis, we write you to urge action on the Child Nutrition Reauthorization Act. With more than 31 million children participating every school day, the Child Nutrition Programs are our country's most direct and effective way of combating food insecurity among children. As such, it is crucial that these programs are fully funded so that we can move closer to accomplishing our goal of ending childhood hunger by 2015.
We read in the Babylonian Talmud "Do not neglect the children of the poor, for from them will go forth the Law." (Nedarim 18a) These words continue to inspire our understanding of the importance of ensuring children are well fed, and have all the tools they need to become positively contributing, self-sufficient adults.
Child Nutrition Reauthorization legislation has been introduced in both the House (the Improving Nutrition for America's Children Act, H.R. 5504) and Senate (the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act, S. 3307). Though they differ on specifics, both bills make significant strides toward improving the content of the meals and their accessibility to children in need. The bills' investments in the Child Nutrition Programs provide the first real increase in funding in over 40 years. This funding increase could not be more timely: the United States Department of Agriculture reported that in 2008, 49.1 million Americans lived in food insecure households, 16.7 million of whom are children. This figure represents 22.5% of all American children - a startling number that is only expected to grow when the 2009 food insecurity data is released this fall. Now more than ever, we must take up the commandment to "Defend the poor and the orphan; deal justly with the poor and the destitute. Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked" (Psalm 82:3-4).
We recognize that Congress has many priorities. However, given that the reauthorization of the Child Nutrition Programs has already been delayed one year, this issue must be made a priority. Child Nutrition Programs such as the National School Lunch Program not only impact the number of hungry children in our country, but they also improve attendance and test scores, decrease nurse visits and behavioral issues. The Child Nutrition Reauthorization Act also claims bipartisan support: the Senate version of the bill passed unanimously out of the Senate Agriculture Committee, and 221 bipartisan members of the House of Representative recently signed a "Dear Colleague" letter in support of a robust reauthorization of the Child Nutrition Programs.
We are taught in Deuteronomy (15:7-10), "If there is among you a poor man...you shall not harden your heart or shut your hand against your poor brother, but you shall open your hand to him, and lend him sufficient for his need, whatever it may be." We urge you, in that spirit, to take swift action on the reauthorization of the Child Nutrition Programs. For millions of children and struggling families, these programs provide an irreplaceable financial and nutritional lifeline. During these difficult economic times, easing the burden on those most vulnerable must be our number one priority.

Hearst Newspaper Editor-at-Large is no longer the title for Phil Bronstein, who announced his exit from the Hearst company, leaving the paper he once edited and where he built up a distinguished and occasionally controversial career.
Bronstein, a frequent presence on Commonwealth Club stages as a moderator, will now focus on the non-profit Center for Investigative Journalism, which is based in nearby Berkeley. "I learned a hell of a lot in the last few years going out for Hearst, and talking to and meeting and getting to know people involved in these [journalism] experiments," Bronstein told SFGate. "It's really vital to continue the nonprofit experiment side."

Courts are government institutions that administer justice in criminal and civil matters. They're mediated by one or more judges, magistrates or justices who have been appointed or elected.
Courts rely on an adversarial system of justice, which is intended to resolve disputes with fair and impartial outcomes. Their primary purpose is to decide questions of law and determine facts. Attorneys for each side present arguments and introduce evidence to support their arguments.
In some court cases, the final judgment is handed down by a jury of citizens chosen through a selection process. In other cases, a judge makes the final ruling. Cases may be heard in criminal court, civil court, or appellate court.
