Why do hived bees need treatment vs wild bees?
orvette1,Nobody wants to lose bees.And many have been trying to build resistance against mites and SHB. It is ironic that one country that had no means of treating bees with chemicals developed mite resistant bees after 7 years. Meanwhile, here in the states, we have been dealing with mites for 25 years, and shb a shorter time. And while we have better hygienic bees as we did 10 years ago, we still have bees that succumb to mites and SHB. The constant treatment from an industry standpoint, importation of weak genetics, and no real concerted effort to develop resistant bees, have perpetuated an ongoing problem.Can you imagine having resistant bees? Funding for bee labs, university research departments, and half the products sold to beekeepers....would not be needed. Orders for bees would drastically be reduced as winter killed hives would decrease. Increased supply would lower pollination fees. Prior to mites, 10% loss per year was considered devastating. But reality is that the whole bees industry, from the top all the way down, benefit from having mites around for another 25 years. The importation of Australian bees, and Hawaiian bees, both of which had never been previously exposed to mites or SHB, no doubt have kept bees in the states from developing higher resistance. And now, those beekeepers in Hawaii will have to make the same decisions. Pay the price and develop resistant bees, or treat for years to come.I would never place checkmite in my hives. Coumophos has been shown in studies to cut the virility of queens, shorten lifespan, and seriously degrade queen quality.Use mechanical methods such as limiting the area needing defended by bees, build from your hives that show resistant or the ability to not crash from SHB, and be more diligent. It takes extra work. I find many problems are created by beekeepers themselves not being aware of what is happening in the hive and only when the hive is doomed, do they do something.While I don't hope mites and SHB on anybody, I also know the importation of bees from areas without mites and SHB eventually degrade my bees in some manner. Now that we are on the same page, we can turn the page and hopefully as an industry, move forward to better days.Good luck.

Trans woman cab driver Andre Edwards triumphs over trans misogyny
The article in which this is reported is problematic. It focuses to the point of voyeurism on her history of transition, operation status, and pre-transition history. I was also troubled by the article's framing of this as a "second chance" - it's not a matter of a chance that she lost and found once more, it's a matter of her triumphing over trans misogynistic discrimination.
But I have so many sad and depressing stories about discrimination against folks because of various isms. Not all who face oppression are victims - there are so many who triumph against struggle on a daily basis whose stories aren't given the platform of more normative success stories. I wanted to highlight the story of one woman who triumphed against cis privilege in an inspiring way.
UPDATE: Renee has some great commentary on Ms. Edwards over at Womanist Musings.

Great post, ty :)ReplyDelete
Thanks for stopping by :)ReplyDelete
Nicely done, RMJ! I've come to loathe the MSM's take on transition, you can do a good-sized chunk of a trans bingo card off the standard "but she used to be a bloke!" reportage.ReplyDelete
Thanks for blogging about this, I had not heard about it. Trans people often face discrimination in employment which is a large part of the reason so many live in poverty despite their high education levels. Many transwomen report being unable to continue in their previous career after transition. To me it is evidence of the ways in which capitalism can be used as a tool to discipline certain bodies.ReplyDelete
Thanks for posting about this. My previous employer tried to harass me out of my job after I started my transition. When I threatened to expose conditions there, I was given a "second chance." That, on a job I'd done for years and for which my worst evaluation was "very good."ReplyDelete
The sad thing is that my current employer has also said that they are giving me a "second chance." As if I did something wrong!

I'm putting together a series of posts about how we approach PPC campaign management for our clients.
I plan on writing about:
- Quality Score & You
- Campaign organization
- Google AdWords ad extensions – Part 1 – What are they & how they work
- Google AdWords ad extensions – Part 2 – Our client test
Today however – I'm going to talk about why landing pages are so important to success and how testing with Google Website Optimizer makes it easy to get more bang for your buck.
Landing Page Optimization
First – let's start with a little statistic that comes from looking at our own PPC clients Amplify Interactive. The clients who use dedicated landing pages/sites for their PPC program get conversion rates in the double digits. The clients who don't – get single digit conversion rates. So, in our experience – sending your PPC clicks to on-topic offer-oriented landing pages with good content and an obvious call to action essentially doubles your conversion rate. Seems like an obvious choice right?
What if I were to tell you that not only can you double your conversion rate by creating dedicated landing pages, but you could substantially improve on that conversion rate improvement again by running some simple tests using a FREE testing platform? Not surprisingly, our clients who do dedicated landing pages also embrace testing. In every case that we've done landing page optimization – we've acheived AT LEAST a 20% conversion rate lift – even when they're already getting double-digit conversion rates! Seems like a pretty worthwhile investment right?
But here's the amazing part – despite the evidence, we still have a hard time convincing clients that they should dedicate the time & energy to creating landing pages and running conversion optimization experiments! Despite all the progress that we've collectively made in our thinking about Web marketing – many Web marketers are still more obsessed with sending more traffic instead of converting more of the visitors that they are already getting.
Here's the other thing about testing – we're always surprised about the things that influence conversion. Whether it's size and position of call to action, images on the page, wording of the page & headlines, etc. But the number one lesson is – you don't have to know what is going to work best. With testing, your visitors will tell you what works best. So try testing some simple things – images, buttons & headlines – and find the magic combination for converting your visitors and substantially improving your conversion rates!
Let's also consider the impact that landing pages have on quality score. PPC vets know that quality score determines how much you pay per click and where your ad can appear. Along with other factors, landing page "quality" has a direct impact on your quality score (see Google's own landing page guidelines). So basically – if your landing page is 'better' – you're going to have a better quality score which translates directly to cost per click and ad position. All of which help to drive down your cost per conversion/acquisition/sale/lead.
I hope I'm making the case for PPC landing pages & landing page optimization here.
Contact us if you want to talk more about PPC campaign management & optimization.

Players have long asked for our viewpoint on these ways of playing through content. For the most part, we think these are acceptable ways of playing Guild Wars but may occasionally take steps to increase their difficulty or even block a particular build. For instance, when it comes to Shadow Form, there is little concern about solo farming in most places; however, the speed clears of our most difficult content have become fast enough to warrant a more watchful eye. Over the coming months we will monitor these areas and, starting with Cry of Pain, make adjustments where necessary.

Charles Palmer devoted a great deal of time, energy, and money to developing his property. The Major General lived mainly in England, and so the estate was managed by his authorized representative, Mr Grey, who helped to increase the wine's reputation among wealthy connoisseurs.
In June 1853, the brothers Isaac and Emile Péreire, famous bankers and rivals of the Rothschilds, bought Palmer and began investing in the estate immediately. However, there was not enough time to bring Château Palmer up to first growth status in time for the famous 1855 classification. It was thus ranked a Third Growth, although it is widely recognized as among the greatest wines of Bordeaux.
Several families of Bordeaux, English, and Dutch extraction all involved in the wine trade, united to buy Palmer in 1938 and have worked hard to give the estate its present reputation. These families have always given priority to quality, despite the financial risk this entailed. They have unfailingly applied the principles that have made the great wines of Bordeaux so successful: authenticity, quality, and permanence. View all Chateau Palmer Wines
About MargauxView a map of Margaux wineries (mahr-GOH)
Soft, elegant, feminine… these are words often used to describe the wines of Margaux. The commune is different from its northern neighbors of the Haut-Médoc in both geography and style. Home to the name-sharing premier cru, Margaux lays a few marshlands south of St.-Julien.
Notable FactsAs in other Medoc appellations, Cabernet Sauvignon leads the blends of the region, but the percentage of Merlot in Margaux's wines is higher than other left bank communes. Add that to a diverse soil, lighter than that in the north, and you have a softer, more voluptuous wine. In the best years, wines of Margaux are delicate, elegant and refined - structured, but not austere. Chateau Margaux is, of course, a first growth and a highly esteemed and sought-after wine. Chateau Palmer, a third growth, is also well-respected and often commands prices equivalent of first growths. Look for Cru Bourgeois if you want to try the finesse of Margaux at a lower price.
About France - Other regionsWhen it comes to wine, France is a classic. Classic blends, grapes and styles began in the country and they still remain. Think about it - people ask for a Burgundian style Pinot Noir, they refer to wines as Bordeaux or Rhone blends - Champagne even had to pass a law to stop international wineries from putting their region on the label of all sparkling wine.
The top regions of France are: Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, Languedoc-Roussillon, Loire, Rhone. And these regions are so diverse! It makes sense that wine regions throughout the world try to emulate their style. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah are no longer French varieties, but international varieties. They may not be the leader of cutting edge technology or value-priced wines, but there is no doubt that they are still producing wines of great quality and diversity.

September sales offer opportunities to stock up
Question: I've been following your articles for a while, and I've really been able to target seasonal sales. As a new month is starting, what items should I look for in September?
Answer: End-of-summer clearance, back-to-school and Labor Day combined make for a great month of deals! Learning to shop strategically can help drastically reduce your grocery bill, even if you don't use coupons.
• Labor Day sales: Due to the Labor Day holiday, you will be able to find sales on all of your favorite cookout items. This includes buns, hot dogs, seasonings, chips, dips and condiments. You also will find deals on paper plates, napkins, disposable cups and soda. Stock up on items you can use all year, or at least until the next sale cycle hits in 10 to 12 weeks.
• Produce: There is a wide variety of produce that is on sale during the month of September. Remember: If you can't use produce all at once, you can always can, freeze or dry it for later. Some of the items you will find at their lowest price of the year are: Asian and Bartlett pears, apples, artichokes, beans, peppers, cucumbers, eggplants, grapes, onions, Valencia oranges, pomegranates, squash, tomatillos and tomatoes.
• Diabetes products: You'll find diabetes products and supplies discounted this month. This includes items such as meters, test strips, vitamins, Glucerna food products and some sugar-free products.
• Breakfast and lunch foods: Because kids are heading back to school, you will find many lunch and breakfast items on sale. Look for deals on lunchbox foods and meals, pudding, Lunchables, juice boxes, Pop-Tarts, lunch meat, bread, cold cereal and waffles.
• School supplies: Keep your eyes peeled for clearance items, including pens, pencils, paper, crayons, folders, binders and other back-to-school essentials.
• Summer clearance: Clearance items will be further reduced this month. Look for a variety of sales on outdoor supplies such as camping gear, tents, sporting goods, trampolines, charcoal, lighter fluid, lawn mowers, lawn games, gardening items, planting containers, garden hoses, plants, seeds, pool supplies, water toys, flippers, goggles, sunscreen, inflatables and other outdoor items. Even if you can't use them now, it is worth buying these items for next season.

I don't think there really is a set rule about cleaning as far as I have been able to find.
I pretty much clean my guns every time I use them and when they have been stored for long periods of time. But I think Im pretty OCD about keeping my gear in orderly fashion.
I'd say at least 1-2 times a month minimum especially if you have an all metal gun which I do not know if the CZ75b is all metal or polymer ( i think its all metal )

By Rob Kelly
Arsène Wenger says he rested Robin van Persie against Leeds United because of the sheer number of games the striker has played over the past 12 months.
The Dutch striker scored 35 goals in 36 Premier League matches in 2011, breaking Thierry Henry's Club record for a calendar year.
While Van Persie sat out the FA Cup Third-Round tie on Monday, Henry grabbed the headlines with his match-winning strike.
"Robin was happy when Thierry joined us but what we expect of him now is to continue the goalscoring record he delivered in 2011 and hopefully be ready for another fight," said Wenger.
"I gave Robin a breather [against Leeds] because he is under more pressure than anybody else because of his injury history and because he played more games than anybody else in 2011.
"It is good because [Van Persie and Henry] have a good understanding. It is like having two goalkeepers when they have a good understanding, which is not always the case because most of the time they are rivals."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

I've seen a few Jaster Mereel builds and some OS Jangos and i got just one small question thats been buggin me for quite some time...Why are the gauntlets on them all the same,doesn't it stand to reason that when a person changes his armor he also alters his fighting style and his armor,adding different things and moving their weapons and tools to different locations adjusting for their newly learned skills?
The reason this has been bugging me is because as i was reading my OS comix i kinda got to thinking about this mainly because the flame thrower of the movie Jango is on the left hand and so it is on every single one of the many OS jangos i've seen so far while in the second OS comic the flame thrower is on jangos right gauntlet and it appears to be the same case in the third OS comic.I get that most people use the standard ones available on the market to save time but if you ask me there were no truly standard gauntlets as their design and tools and weapons on them varied from mando to mando.
So okay its not as quick of a question as i had implied and hoped but its a fair question is it not.

The new Brushy Creek Lake map was loaded to the Iowa DNR's website last Friday. Look for new lake maps of Mariposa, Volga, Fogle, Meyers Lake and Lake Meyer to be added soon. The habitat coordinates will be posted on a new separate map later this spring.
The February gate setting at Lake Darling was the culmination of years of effort to restore and redevelop the lake and its adjoining recreational area and facilities. That project will be the subject of a new 30-minute documentary tentatively titled, Darling is Back! by Samuel Koltinsky, executive producer with Marvo Entertainment Group LLC, and co-produced with Iowa Public Television. It is currently in production.

The Mines of Spain Recreation Area will feature a program on making maple syrup from sugar maple trees on March 23, at 1 p.m. at the E. B. Lyons Interpretive Center, 8991 Bellevue Heights south of Dubuque. Scott Dykstra, park ranger at Maquoketa Caves State Park, has been making syrup for several years and will share his experiences, challenges and what has worked for him. He will have equipment on hand and demonstrate their uses outdoors near the center.
The average ice out date for Clear Lake is April 1. The latest ice out was on April 28, 1952. Earliest was March 5, 1932.
It sounds like bluebirds are already in southern Iowa so grouse and turkey vultures will not be far behind. Spring really is coming.

Our latest winner of the Young Reporter competition is JG Joe, who wrote a great match report of the Premier League match against QPR.
Arsenal secured a crucial victory in traditional fashion at home to QPR, winning by a single Mikel Arteta goal late on. After a difficult week for the club it was essential for the team to get back to winning ways, and that they did with what could prove to be a significant home win. The afternoon also saw the welcome returns of Bacary Sagna and Jack Wilshere, meaning the Arsenal fans could head for the Emirates' exits with broad smiles on their faces.
The home side made an encouraging start to the game. Wilshere himself was involved early on when he drilled the ball across the six-yard box, but no man in a red and white shirt was able to get on the end of it. Several other half chances were created but the Gunners struggled to muster up any real, clear cut chances. Aaron Ramsey saw a header hit the top of the crossbar, but even that was not a clear opening. QPR did not pose much of a threat at the other end either, meaning the opening half fizzled out and remained at 0-0.
Once the second period was underway, the game truly burst into life. Arsenal began to take full control and set up camp in the visitors' penalty box. The best chance of the game fell to the newly crowned Player of the Month, Santi Cazorla, but his golden opportunity was wasted as he fired high over the bar. Minutes later came a key turning point. Stephane M'Bia lashed at Arsenal captain Thomas Vermaelen and was rightly shown the red card, reducing QPR to 10 men. Arsenal did not take long to make their numerical advantage count. Just four minutes later, a breakthrough was finally found. Substitute Andrey Arshavin put in a brilliant cross from the left hand side, which Olivier Giroud headed towards goal. His effort was saved, but Mikel Arteta was right on the scene to have another attempt, and this one hit the crossbar! The ball then fell right onto the left foot of Arsenal's number 8 and he smashed the ball home to finally break the deadlock. The Emirates Stadium was then set alight, as 60,000 people let out a deafening roar. Arsenal then showed guts and determination to hold onto their lead and secure a precious 3 points ahead of the trip to Old Trafford next weekend.

Has anyone done this that has some input to make this as easy as possible? I pretty much know how I'm going to do this, but I want to see if anyone has any input on how to make this as easy as possible. Its a 1955 chevrolet pickup (2nd series)
It's easy this time of the year they are hibernating, just put paw in the door, slam it and run like hell. Unless you are going to suicide your doors a rebuild of the stock door latches is the easiest and they work great, but if your heart is set on them just use the same pin points (the anchor on the jam) and rig up the linkage for the bearclaw itself.
Jalopy, you just made me blow water all over my keyboard! But yeah, just make sure to get 'em in there before they wake up for Spring and you'll be okay. 55, you might have to trim a little sheetmetal to fit everything (depending on what brand you use), but in my opinion, it's no big deal and well worth it - these things are ultra-mega secure! You can test 'em by driving through Yellowstone Park and yelling insults at the bears...
I found an article on this site with some of the basics on Bear claw latches.Click here to see the article!On a less helpful note, this is the first thing I thought of.Great, now I'm hungry
LOL this had me dying laughing!
You guys are funny! Made me chuckle too.From the dates of this discussion, I imagine this is a done deal. I used stock hinges and latches on 'Earl', along with the AutoLoc shaved kit. Kept the inside handles for emergency egress....Ed

Matt Hayes, Sporting News: "Woods is a beast and will beat any cornerback on any team."
Stanford head coach David Shaw: "For a guy like Woods, you don't say you're going to shut him out. What you do say is you want to limit him. You want to make sure when he catches the ball, you have guys around him, you gang tackle him. You keep him from making the big play and the momentum-changing play. You just try to corral and minimize the yards he gets after the catch because if you don't he can be special. Woods is about the best route running receiver I've seen in college football in 10 years. The guy can run every single route and he makes it look easy. He's been playing at a high level. He's a guy who can take over a game. And you don't usually say that about a receiver. I'm a guy who spent nine years in the NFL evaluating every receiver who came into the draft every single year. He's as good of a route runner at this age I've ever seen."
Former NFL scout Dave Razzano: "He is a difference maker as both a receiver and kick returner. He has size, speed and outstanding hands. He can get open anywhere on the field. He is both a deep threat and a possession type who is not afraid to catch balls over the middle in traffic. He has some of the best hands I have seen on tape. He has an uncanny ability to pluck the ball quickly and burst upfield. He is a semi-long stride runner with a definite second gear burst in the open. A young talent with unlimited potential. He has future NFL star written all over him."
Brian Kamenetzky, ESPNLA.com: "That Woods is a prodigious talent is obviousWoods' learning curve further validates his numbers. Teammates and coaches marvel at his intelligence and attention to detail."
USC quarterback Matt Barkley: "Robert is a special player. I have a trust with him that he will be there every time. He runs smart routes with great athleticism. He knows where to be and I know we can count on him."
USC wide receiver Marqise Lee: "Robert is extremely amazing. He's a one-of-a-kind athlete. I've got a lot to learn before I get on his level."
Former USC All-American and NFL star Keyshawn Johnson: "Robert Woods is extraordinary in terms of his skill set. He has big hands. He runs extremely good routes."
Former USC wide receivers coach Ted Gilmore: "He studies, he watches film, he watches opponents. If you tell him something, he's going to do what you tell him to do. In most cases if he does wrong, I told him wrong."

None taken...i am aware of that but the color i got was very very close if you look at the picture, and he was asking about rattle cans. For rattle cans its the closest i could get.
Of course using airbrush, what you say is the dead correct color...i know you would know
Again he was asking about rattlecans i think this looks darn close just a smidge off:
You could even mist a bit of go mango orange from model masters over it. thats how i did the darker one and with a touch of that on the yellow i personally think it will be just fine.
I do agree with DarthMiller though that if you want dead accuracy, yes the zinc chromate with an airbrush is the way to go.
That looks good too! nice find! i will keep that in mind if i cant get the zinc chromate for my FP V4 armor

text: Educators Endorse Joe Kennedy III for Congress The National Education Association's Political Action Committee, the NEA Fund, followed the unanimous recommendation of the Massachusetts Teachers Association's Candidate Recommendation Committee and unanimously endorsed Joe Kennedy III for election to represent Massachusetts' 4th Congressional District. MTA President Paul Toner said Kennedy will be a strong advocate in Congress for students and public education at all levels. "As a member of Congress, Joe Kennedy will fight for students and for the resources we need to have strong public schools, colleges and universities," Toner said. NEA President Dennis Van Roekel also offered strong words of praise for the candidate. "Educators are proud to endorse Joe Kennedy III for Congress," Van Roekel said. "If elected, he will set the right priorities for all Americans – great public schools for every student, getting the economy back on track and representing the steadfast principles of fairness and equality in Washington." Toner noted that Kennedy met with MTA members shortly after he announced his candidacy for the congressional seat. During discussions with educators, Toner said, Kennedy gave thoughtful responses to every question and promised to support programs that will help all students succeed. "Among the many positive positions Joe Kennedy holds are opposing one-size-fits-all approaches to addressing the needs of our schools and supporting adequate funding for public education at all levels," Toner said. "He has enormous respect for the work that educators do," Toner added. Kennedy said he is proud to have the support of educators. "I'm honored to win the support of the hard-working teachers of the MTA and the NEA," Kennedy said. "They do so much to defend our country's ultimate promise for the next generation – the idea that no matter who you are or where you come from, you get the chance to make the most of your hard work, talent and determination. Education is at the heart of that promise and at the heart of economic progress. I pledge to stand proudly with our educators and students to help restore fairness and hope to our society." Toner said Kennedy's background will serve him well as a member of Congress. Kennedy spent time in the Peace Corps, was a member of a legal aid bureau and has served as an assistant district attorney both on Cape Cod and in Middlesex County. "Joe Kennedy has pledged that he will always put the interests of students first and will keep his door open to educators," Toner said. "He will reach out and build true partnerships to help our schools and support our public higher education system."

Dixie State College leaders are weighing an apology for the school's decades-long use of Confederate regalia and other controversial imagery, as some professors question a study that found overwhelming support for keeping its name as it becomes a university.
"Moving forward, we feel that it will be a necessary part of that process to acknowledge it and if apology is warranted, we can offer that as well," said Dixie State spokesman Steve Johnson. "We've talked to our president [Stephen Nadauld] and our administration ... [and] obviously, it is important to acknowledge that not only were the images and ideas portrayed socially unacceptable in 2013, it should not have been socially unacceptable when it happened."
The region's Dixie nickname traces to the 1800s, when The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints sent groups of pioneers, including former slave owners and drivers, south to grow cotton.
The Confederate flag held a prominent place on campus until it was officially disavowed in 1994, including at college sporting events and in extracurricular clubs, according to a Salt Lake Tribune review of about 30 years of Dixie State yearbooks. Dubbed The Confederate, the yearbooks also show students occasionally dressing in blackface for spirit events and on homecoming parade floats during the 1960s and in Halloween costumes as recently as the 1990s. Dorms were named for plantations, Johnson said, the school mascot was a Confederate soldier and its colors were red, white and gray.
The colors changed to red, white and blue and the mascot to a red bull in 2009.
Dixie State student Greg Noel said an apology is "long overdue," but it wouldn't necessarily address the underlying problems.
"This isn't the last time this issue will need to be addressed," said Noel, who serves as vice president for clubs and is African-American. "They're just going to put a band-aid over it."
An advertising agency's study, commissioned by Nadauld and released this week, found overwhelming support 83 percent of those surveyed for keeping Dixie in the new name. Sorenson Advertising also suggested other possible names, including the University of St. George for a more nationally focused institution, or Utah Dixie University for a "balance" between a national and local focus.
But a group of professors raised questions Friday about the reliability of the agency's results.
"In reality, there's no way for this firm to put out a report not having Dixie in the name and still work in this community," said Dannelle Larsen-Rife, a professor of psychology.
In a letter to the agency, she and a handful of other professors outlined their concerns, especially about the online survey done by the agency. The study was chiefly based on the opinions of the approximately 6,000 people who took the survey, though 250 to 500 were interviewed or participated in focus groups or public meetings.
The professors object that the online survey was taken by a self-selecting group of people, was susceptible to electronic "ballot stuffing," and the results did not include a margin of error.
Erik Sorenson, president of the St. George-based firm paid $28,500 for the project, denied that he felt any pressure to deliver certain results and expressed confidence in the study's statistical significance. Software recorded computers' individual IP addresses, he said, and though researchers didn't limit the number of results from one computer, they reviewed results to ensure one person wasn't entering multiple responses.
"This is a public opinion study, and our job was to report those opinions," he said. "The research doesn't make the decision, it provides the tools to make the decision."
The Dixie State Board of Trustees will vote Jan. 18 on a new name. Its decision must be approved by the Utah State Board of Regents, which is expected to approve university status for the college on Jan. 25, and the Utah Legislature.
Board of Trustees Vice Chair Jon Pike said the board will likely make a statement if members vote to retain the Dixie name. Pike also acknowledged "concerns" about the study.
"Maybe there could have been more or other methods used," he said. "I think some of that came down to how much money do we want to spend doing this ... many people in the community and involved with the college were just ready to proceed with Dixie State without a study."

Department of Mathematics
West Chester University
Mathematics Information
Office: Room 101
25 University Avenue
West Chester, PA 19383

Email: Department Chair
The Department of Mathematics' general education courses aim to prepare students to communicate logically, become proficient at quantitative reasoning, and to think critically and analytically. The courses intend to enable students to deal comfortably with the basic notions of number and chance and to acquire mathematical tools to help reach their career objectives.
University Level Courses:
Mat 101, Mathematics for Elementary Teachers, develops students' understanding of the mathematics needed to teach elementary school. Topics include sets, functions, logic, the real number system, number theory, and problem solving. The course is mainly for early childhood, elementary education, and special education majors.
Mat 103, Introduction to Mathematics, is a liberal arts introduction to the nature and beauty of mathematics. Topics include logic, graph theory, probability, and decision theory. An additional topic is chosen from finance, geometry, and statistics.
Mat 115, College Algebra, Functions and Trigonometry, is a unified course in algebra and trigonometry. Topics include the study of polynomial, exponential, and logarithmic functions, systems of linear equations, and trigonometry.
Mat 113, College Algebra and Functions, is a thorough treatment of college algebra. Topics include polynomial, exponential, and logarithmic functions, systems of linear equations, and an introduction to linear programming.
Developmental Courses:
Many students find that the reasoning required in the above courses is quite different from that of their high school courses and also find that their arithmetical and/or algebraic skills need strengthening. We offer, therefore, two courses, Mat Q20 and Mat Q30, described below, to help students prepare for university level mathematics courses.
Mat Q20, Prepatory Math is designed to strengthen basic arithmetic skills and to introduce the elements of algebra. Students, in general, are placed in Mat Q20 if their placement level on the Mathematics Department Placement Exam is 0. A student (other than an Early Childhood, Elementary, and Special Education major) must complete this course and the subsequent course Mat Q30 with a grade of C- before enrolling in a 100 level mathematics course. An Early Childhood, Elementary, or Special Education major with a placement level less than 1 on the Mathematics Department Placement Exam must complete this course with a grade of C- or better before enrolling in Mat101.
Mat Q30, Fundamentals of Algebra, aims at strengthening basic algebraic skills. A student (other than an Early Childhood, Elementary, and Special Education major) with a placement level less than 2 on the Mathematics Department Placement Exam must successfully complete this course with a grade of at least C- before enrolling in a 100 level mathematics course (see note below).
The Mathematics Placement Exam:
The Mathematics Placement Exam was designed by the Mathematics Department to help determine the most appropriate mathematics course into which you will initially be placed. There are vast differences among mathematics courses taught at different high schools and so, this is a way to put all students on the same playing field as to which skills have been mastered and which still need to be developed. Previously, students were placed into their first mathematics course based solely on their Math SAT score. However, because the SAT score did not provide enough information about the level to which different types of mathematical concepts and skills had been mastered, we found that a number of students were being placed into incorrect mathematics courses. The placement exam we are now using is designed to be much more effective in this regard.
You must complete the Mathematics Placement Exam in order to enroll in your first mathematics course at WCU. This is true even if you have AP credit or credit from a different institution. The specific mathematics course you will take will depend on the requirements for your major.
The Mathematics Placement Exam is held online and requires a West Chester University account. You were automatically issued this account upon payment of your admission deposit. You need to initialize your password for this account before it becomes active. If you have not already setup your West Chester University Network account please visit http://wcupa.edu/infoservices/studentAccount.aspx or call the IT Help Desk at 610-436-3350 ext. 1.
Once your account is set up, go to the WCU homepage and log-in to D2L (the third of three possible log-in entries in the upper-right corner of the screen). Once you have logged in, a description of the mathematics placement exam will be the first thing you see.
The deadline for completing this exam is MAY 12, .

Green Bay Takes Winning Streak to Cleveland
By Justin Grones (@JustinGrones)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - Fresh off a three-game homestand sweep, the Green Bay women's basketball team (12-2, 2-0 HL) will travel to Cleveland to play its first of four straight road games in a battle with Cleveland State (10-5, 2-0 HL). The matchup will pit the top two teams in the Horizon League, and mark the first time this season the Phoenix plays a conference game away from the Kress Center.
Green Bay's defensive dominance continued as Horizon League play opened last week in wins against Detroit and Wright State. In the conference opener against Detroit, the Phoenix defense smothered the Titans and the nation's second-leading scorer Shareeta Brown, holding her well below her average of 26.0 points per game. Brown scored just eight points on 2-of-4 shooting as the Phoenix won 62-31, the second-fewest points an opponent has scored against Green Bay in nearly 30 years.
The Phoenix carried its strong defensive play into the matchup against Wright State and the Horizon League Preseason Player of the Year Kim Demmings, who scored 35 points just days prior in a win at Milwaukee. Green Bay held Demmings to a career-low three points on 1-of-13 shooting, and came away with a 71-44 victory over the Raiders. The win was the 10th time in 14 games this season the Phoenix has held an opponent under 50 points.
After starting the season losing four of the first five games, Cleveland State has won nine of its last 10 games to move into second place in the Horizon League standings. The Vikings are 7-1 at home this season, and are led by senior Shalonda Winton, who leads the nation in triple-doubles with two so far this season.
Green Bay will stay in Ohio for the rest of the week, battling Youngstown State on Saturday at 6:05 p.m. The Phoenix will hit the road again next week, with contests at Valparaiso and Wright State.
INSIDE THE SERIES: Green Bay is 51-5 all-time against Cleveland State, with the first meeting held during the 1988-89 season. In his first tenure leading the Phoenix, head coach Kevin Borseth compiled a 19-2 record against the Vikings.
Notable Matchups

Feb. 15, 1997
Cleveland State defeats Green Bay for the first time, the only time the Phoenix would fall to the Vikings under legendary head coach Carol Hammerle.
Jan. 16, 1999
In his first season as head coach at Green bay, Kevin Borseth leads the Phoenix to an 83-71 win over the Vikings in his first matchup against Cleveland State.

SCORING LOCKDOWN: Green Bay ranks second in the NCAA in scoring defense, allowing just 46.9 points per game. The Phoenix has held opponents under 50 points in 10 of 14 games this season, and has contained one of the Horizon League's top players in each of the last two games. Green Bay limited Detroit's Shareeta Brown to just eight points and held Wright State's Kim Demmings to a career-worst three points.
DANGER: Redshirt junior Breannah Ranger (Skokie, Ill.) has
continued to become a nightmare in the post for opposing teams after recording
her first career double-double in the win against Wright State with 12 points
and a game-high 11 rebounds. Ranger is averaging 6.0 points and 4.6 rebounds
per game while playing 15.5 minutes per game off the bench. The Skokie, Ill.
native is shooting a team-best 53.6 percent (30-56) from the field this season.
WINNING STREAK NOTES: Green Bay has won seven straight games dating back to a 55-46 comeback win at Marquette on Dec. 8. The Phoenix has held opponents to an average of just 40.0 points per game during this streak and has dominated inside, outscoring opponents 242-70 in the paint during the streak.
NEXT ON THE SCHEDULE: Green Bay will enjoy life on the road for the next
three games following the matchup at Cleveland State. The Phoenix will wrap up
its trip to Ohio on Saturday with a contest at Youngstown State, and then hit
the road again next week for a game Saturday at Valparaiso, and Monday at
Wright State.

Sick of getting temporarily blinded by drivers using their high-beam headlights at night, more and more Chinese are equipping the rear windows of their cars with scary reflective decals featuring ghosts, vampires or monsters.
Dozens of shops on large e-commerce sites like Taobao are selling scary rear-window decals with graphics ranging from ghostly figures and women with bloody mouths to vampires and yellow-eyed werewolves, and judging by the number of photos currently doing the rounds on Chinese social media, people are actually using them to deter drivers from keeping their high beam headlights on when driving behind them. The bizarre stickers are apparently barely visible in the dark or normal lighting conditions, but light up when a bright light is shone on them.

Sgt. Paul Marshall Gordon, 19, of Grant County, died June 30, 1951 while a prisoner of war at the Suan Village Camp in North Korea.
In late January, 1951, Sgt. Gordon was taken prisoner after engaging with enemy troops in the Wonju Province of South Korea. Sgt. Gordon served with the U.S. Army, H Company, 2nd Battalion, 38th Infantry Regiment.
He was the son of the late Doll and Urie Gordon.
Powdery mildew is probably the most common garden fungus around. It is not too terribly picky about where it spreads, it likes humid weather, thrives in the heat of the summer and is hard to control once it has started. The trick here is to prevent it from happening by proper plant selection, spacing, pruning and treatment before it spreads.
In my 25-plus years of working in the community newspaper business, I often get asked when I'm going to write about my family. (Keep in mind it's usually my family that is doing the asking.)
I (kind-of) jokingly reply that I have to wait until they are all dead and buried so they won't sue me.
When I write a column, I try to find humor in most all situations because that's how I deal with life and let's face it families can be just downright funny sometimes.
Take what started out innocently enough on a recent Sunday afternoon.
"I believe that we will win" is a chant that takes me all the way back (only three years ago) to high school cheering on our basketball team. This cheer though has taken on a whole new meaning in terms of the US Men's National team competing in the World Cup.
Many of us are proud of our family members who have served in the military and now there's a good way to honor their service and do something good in the community.
Storme Vanover, a local veteran, and members of the American Legion Post 137 in Williamstown are selling brick pavers to fund a monument to the five local men who died serving in Vietnam.
Their goal is to raise money for a memorial to be constructed at the legion hall on U.S. 25 in Williamstown.
Members of the post will be selling memorial pavers for $50 during the month of June.
Recently my daughter and I went to a Build-A-Bear workshop at the Dry Ridge Fire Department. This event benefitted Shriner's Hospital in Cincinnati and Shriner's Hospital in Lexington.
I explained to my daughter that she was going to make bears for sick children in the hospital.
Shriner's Hospital has always been dear to me for several reasons. The hospital gives care to children without regard to race, color, creed, disability, national origin or ability of a patient or family to pay. They care for them because they need it.
Reader takes offense
to letter to editor
I know I am only one person, but I took grave offense with the published letter to the editor written by Chuck Estridge; America's Government is broken, needs repairs.
You state in your Public Endorsement Policy you will not print libelous letters. Yet Chuck calls "our president and attorney general lawless racists who denounce the Constitution and the rule of law."
It's hard to believe that winter finally seems to have moved on and spring has finally sprung. It was a long-time coming, but now that the weather has turned warmer the days are flying by.
April is nearly over and it feels like the calendar page just turned.
I was most impressed with this year's observance of Child Abuse Prevention Month. The Grant County School District made a concerted effort to take their message to the public with a Blue Ribbon/Pinwheel Decorating Contest and a community breakfast held at Grant County High School on April 9.

LOL - Anyone still want Garrett as coach???
Man, what an ass hole.
He was the hottest commodity out there at the time. Everyone wanted him but e turned down the Ravens job and used them to get more money in Dallas as a coordinator. He turned down Atlanta too which came within a whisker of the SB.
He was the heir to Wade Phillips and wanted his job but Phillips got into the POs so he had
to wait a few more years.
Meanwhile HARBs gets the Ravens job and goes to the POs every year with all the talent Ozzie
gave him and finally wins it all this year. Plus he beat Garrett every time he faced him out-coaching
him winning down there on two historic runs and he beats them up here this year.
Garrett just missed his third straight PO and almost got fired. There was even a wild rumor
that Gruden was getting his job.
He's still but will probably go next year if he misses. He's on thin ice while HARBs is the SB champ.
What an ass hole that Garrett. I still remember that snotty little look on his face the day he
left the castle.

Re: LOL - Anyone still want Garrett as coach???
Between him and Bobby Valentine. Whew, talk about dodging some bullets.
Re: LOL - Anyone still want Garrett as coach???
And here's some irony.
Jim Caldwell was on Ozzie's short list but HARBs beat him out.
Now he's the o-coord and saves the season and takes us to the SB trophy using CAMs
system but adding new wrinkles to it.
Chicago and other teams made a big mistake passing on Caldwell at the end of the season
but he should get another chance at a HC job next year after calling these plays tonight.
Re: LOL - Anyone still want Garrett as coach???
I never wanted him in the 1st place. Always thought he was just the flavor of the month. I wanted Billick retained, but once that ship sailed, I wanted Harbaugh.Never get in a fight with a pig; you both get muddy, and the pig likes it...
Re: LOL - Anyone still want Garrett as coach???
Man, the entire defense revolted against Billick. Bisciotti had to do something. Then there was that Miami loss
when he was the only coach that couldn't beat CAM. They hated CAM more than we did.
He had to go at that time and HARBS came in and cleaned house. The first thing he did was rip out all the lockers
and mixed the defensive players in with the offensive players' lockers. There was division with the defensive guys
pointing fingers at the offensive guys. Ray was pissed because we missed all those SBs with that great defense
but no QB all those years.
HARBs fixed all that.

Re: LOL - Anyone still want Garrett as coach???
I think Ozzie just did an Al Davis impersonation and tried learning all he could about offense from a coaching standpoint.
He could not possibly have known at the time that Manning would get injured, the Colts tank a season, Caldwell getting fired and then, well, the rest is as they say history.
Re: LOL - Anyone still want Garrett as coach???
He was on Ozzie's list. That's a fact, not an exaggeration. Don't know how high up on the list.
Ozzie really liked his old boss Marty Ball but Bisciotti didn't want him. Marty's son Brian was also
on the list and so was Denver's coach, not Fox but the guy before him. Can't remember his name
but he drafted Tebow and is no longer there-lol.
I'm just saying it's ironic he was on the list and had a shot til HARBs interviewed HARBS.

Re: LOL - Anyone still want Garrett as coach???
Caldwell pulled himself out. The Colts knew Dungy was going to retire the following year and promised him the job since a bunch of teams were interviewing him.Putting the Fanatic back in Fan
Re: LOL - Anyone still want Garrett as coach???
OK, Thanks. Didn't know that.
Marty pulled himself off the list when he heard his son Brian was on it. He didn't want to stand in his
way but Bisciotti thought he was too old and he wanted a multi year contract, not a short term as
media forecasted.
Biscuit wanted a young poster guy like most teams are doing, same in college ball.

Chicago, IL (SportsNetwork.com) - Jrue Holiday's 3-point play with 2.6 seconds remaining in triple overtime capped a wild thriller in which the New Orleans Pelicans outlasted the Chicago Bulls, 131-128, at United Center.
"To tell you the truth, I just wanted the game over," Holiday said.
Playing their first game without leading scorer and rebounder Anthony Davis, who fractured his left hand Sunday in New York, the Pelicans overcame the loss of the 2012 No. 1 overall pick behind big efforts from Holiday, Ryan Anderson and several others to finish off a perfect three-game road trip.
Anderson poured in a career-best 36 points and Eric Gordon added 23 for New Orleans. Holiday, who sent the game into OT with a clutch jumper with 3.9 seconds left in regulation, finished with 19 points and 12 assists.
Chicago was dealt its first home loss of the season and sixth in its last seven outings overall despite a 37-point, eight-rebound and seven-assist effort from Luol Deng. Taj Gibson delivered 26 points and 14 boards in defeat, with Mike Dunleavy recording 23 points for the Bulls.
"I'm not going to lie and say I wasn't tired out there. I was tired. A lot of guys were. Our team and their team, they had a back-to-back. We made a lot of fatigue and mental mistakes at the end," Deng said.
The Bulls appeared to be in good shape after Holiday missed an open look with New Orleans down by one and time winding down in the fourth quarter. Dunleavy, a 94.4 percent free throw shooter on the season, grabbed the rebound and was fouled with 21.1 seconds left. He missed the initial attempt, however, before making the second to put Chicago up 103-101.
Following a timeout, Holiday dribbled off a screen and hit a step-back 18- footer that extended the game.
It was Gordon's turn to hit the big shot near the end of the first OT. With the Pelicans trailing by a 109-106 count, the sharp-shooting guard fired up a clutch three in transition following a Deng miss with 10.2 seconds to go. Kirk Hinrich then misfired on a contested baseline 3-point try for Chicago as the horn sounded.
New Orleans jumped out to a 118-113 advantage early in the second extra session, with Al-Farouq Aminu netting seven points during the 9-4 spurt. However, a Deng lay-in followed by a Dunleavy triple pulled the Bulls back even with under a minute remaining in the period.
The Pelicans scored the next two baskets to go up by four, but Deng sank two free throws with 22.8 seconds showing and Anderson was called for an offensive foul to give the Bulls possession. Deng then took an inbounds feed from Hinrich and scored inside with just 4.7 seconds on the clock to forge a 122-122 tie and bring on another overtime.
Anderson buried a 3-pointer with Joakim Noah in his face to give New Orleans a 127-126 edge with 1:08 to play in the third OT. After Anthony Morrow hit 1- of-2 from the line to make it a 2-point difference with 8.5 seconds left, Noah dropped in a left-handed hook shot on the other end to knot the score once more at 128-128.
After the Pelicans called timeout, Holiday received a give from Tyreke Evans and drove into a wide-open lane. The point guard was able to finish while being hacked by Gibson, then converted the bonus shot for the game-winning points after Dunleavy's long three attempt at the buzzer bounced off the rim.
Neither side led by more than eight points in a game that was tightly contested in regulation as well. Chicago was ahead by a 60-52 margin early in the third quarter, but a 9-2 New Orleans run pulled the Pelicans within one minutes later.
Chicago took an 80-77 lead into the fourth quarter, in which both teams were within three points during the entire frame.
Game Notes
Anderson, who went 7-for-11 on 3-point tries, bettered his previous career high of 34 points, set at Phoenix on Nov. 23, 2012. The Pelicans are 5-1 this season when he scores 18 or more ... Noah ended with 19 points and 10 rebounds ... Jason Smith, receiving extended minutes with Davis sidelined, amassed 12 points and 14 boards for New Orleans ... Deng is averaging 27.4 points over his last five games ... Bulls forward Carlos Boozer mustered only four points in 26 1/2 minutes and did not play at all in any of the overtime periods.

For future reference with Etsy it is better not to list multiple quantities of item and to just relist the item once it has sold. That way when you relist the item get put back at the top of the search. Otherwise your items are stuck at the same place in the search on Etsy. It is sort of annoying and dumb that Etsy is set up that way, but it is.

I represented New York Family magazine at WebMD's launch of their latest website Fit yesterday. I learned so much at the event. Like did you know weight is the hardest topic for parents to talk to their kids about? Above sex, smoking, and drugs? Some parents fear that having a conversation about weight will somehow trigger an eating disorder. The doctors behind this study believe that if parents can have discussions on weight in a loving, nurturing environment, eating disorders will not be the result. Fit gives parents the tools to know how to talk to kids about weight. It's great!
At the Fit event yesterday, my favorite part was the lesson that taught how to make yoga fun for kids. One of the ways the instructor teaches kids to have awareness of their breathing is have them blow pom poms around the room. She suggests that kids do races. Or have the children count how many breaths it takes to get across the room. She sometimes spreads the pom poms around the room and has the children blow them back into a big pile. We all got to try it. It was fun.
It just so happened that the drug store next to my house carried pom poms and straws. So after work and school, I let the kids give it a try. Don't you love activities that are simple AND beautiful? I'm hooked. Ella took it one step further and made pom pom snowmen. This delighted her to no end when she knocked it down with one breath.
This activity was such a success. It was like blowing out birthday candles without the fire! What other activiries can you do with pom poms and straws?
