Scholastic Help: Supreme Court Briefs
From Wiki
[edit] About the Supreme Court Briefs Search Form
The Supreme Court Briefs Search Form is located in the Legal Section of LexisNexis Scholastic. On this form, you can accomplish tasks such as:
- Search Supreme Court Briefs by date
- Search Supreme Court Briefs by citation
- Do a keyword search and search the full text of the Supreme Court Briefs
[edit] Search For
The "Search For" section allows you to input your own key terms. In these search boxes, you can put words or phrases that convey a particular topic, like "abortion." This is useful when you need to browse several briefs on one topic. The Search For section also makes it easy to find particular briefs you know specific information about. For example, if you need to find briefs by a specific citation, type the citation in the search box and select "Citation" from the drop-down box. In addition to a full text search ("Everywhere" in the drop down box,) you may use the drop down box to find briefs:
- by Citation
- by Party Names
- by Counsel
- by Brief Type
- by Appeal Statement
- by Opinion
[edit] Specify Date
One of the most efficient ways to narrow your results set is by specifying the date. If you're researching a current event, try narrowing the date to the last 6 months. If you're researching a past event, use the "Is Between..." option to set the dates yourself. Choosing a time period to search through will change your results drastically. You will be much more likely to find relevant results.

Compatible and Innovative Communications Technology
Unified communications is an increasingly important investment for organizations looking to improve productivity and responsiveness while reducing IT costs. Cisco converges voice, video, and data communications around a shared IP-based infrastructure, which simplifies making calls, sending messages, or joining audio or video conferences.
The Cisco open architecture supports all relevant industry-standard protocols, codecs, and interfaces. It currently allows for the widest compatibility with existing environments, while featuring state-of-the-art innovations that add significant value.
Broad Codec Support
Cisco supports multiple media-compression standards and codecs as built-in features rather than as add-on modules. Automatic transcoding and rate-matching capabilities help ensure the highest-quality presentation for the particular device or application.
Dual-Protocol Support
Cisco currently provides the industry's only dual-protocol presence platform. It incorporates both SIP/SIMPLE and XMPP, which allows users to see aggregated availability information across endpoints.
Cisco presence solutions interoperate with Microsoft Lync, IBM Lotus Sametime, and Google Talk. Third-party XMPP clients can register directly to the server.
Hosted and Cloud
Cisco offers a full range of hosting options for partners as well as cloud-based unified communications options for customers. Cisco Powered Services from our partners offer the same rich user experience and capability as available on premises.
The network-based Cisco architecture accommodates a wide variety of service connections and optimizes the experience dynamically. The architecture supports the entire solution in the cloud and is designed to overcome remote-host latency and quality problems.
Policy Management
Highly granular policy management allows considerable flexibility and control while ensuring compliance with industry requirements. The comprehensive "defense-in-depth" security framework has been proven in the most demanding enterprise environments. The end-to-end approach encompasses both the network and entire telephony system, and guarantees dial tone in worst-case, denial-of-service (DoS) scenarios.
The service-advertisement framework allows servers, clients, and applications to advertise and discover their services dynamically, significantly reducing IT maintenance and delays.

Reigning British national time trial champion Bradley Wiggins (Team Sky) wasted little time in this year's Giro d'Italia, winning the opening prologue through the streets of Amsterdam on Pinarello's new Graal time trial machine.
It's so new, in fact, that Pinarello have released virtually no official information about it, but it looks to be a further evolution of the company's FM1 time trial flagship with a touch of Dogma tossed in as well.
Like the FM1, the Graal's top tube starts out large and blocky up front to promote front end rigidity before tapering to a more flattened shape out back. The new seat tube is even more radically shaped than before, with the upper half – and the seatpost – now adopting a perfectly vertical orientation to help reduce drag.
As some other companies have already suggested, those more upright edges lead to better efficiency through the air and the seatstays have also been propped up a bit before taking a slight jog forward prior to the seat tube junction.
Pinarello have clearly made efforts to smooth airflow around the usually 'dirty' brakes with a side-pull calliper mounted behind the blocky fork crown. A standard Shimano Dura-Ace calliper is used for the rear wheel but even that is well hidden behind an enlarged upper seatstay assembly.
The radically shaped chainstays – which start out tall and narrow at the bottom bracket then effectively twist 90 degrees at the dropouts – are slightly dropped and more horizontal than on the FM1, presumably to reduce their frontal area. Cable routing is mostly internal throughout, including on the carbon aerobars.
The Graal's down tube is particularly interesting with its angular 'cuts' along each side. Without official information, we can only assume that it's an effort to improve airflow and surface adhesion, similar to what Ridley have done with their Noah and Dean aero bikes. We'll report back when more details are available.
The blue swatches on the down tube are meant to highlight the surface shaping
Naturally, aero wheels were installed front and rear for Wiggins' successful run in Amsterdam. Both were conspicuously labeled as 'PROtotypes', but a closer look revealed them to actually be a standard HED H3 up front and a modified HED Stinger Disc out back, built around a Shimano Dura-Ace hub instead of the usual HED Sonic model.
Wiggins' bike wasn't the only aerodynamic thing rocketing through Amsterdam, either, as a quick glance at his position – and the bike measurements – reveal an ultra-aggressive, low and narrow posture that even some of the best time trial specialists can only dream of holding.
Wiggins isn't only concerned about aerodynamics, though, as his build kit shows an obvious emphasis on reducing friction too. Ceramic bearings from UK-based Ultimate Ceramic Bearings are fitted to the bottom bracket and rear derailleur pulleys, and the front hub does without hub seals altogether.
Both BB and derailleur pulleys rotate on ceramic bearings and the front hub has no seals
Other non-standard bits used during Wiggins' maglia rosa-winning ride include a set of O.symetric chainrings (which the mechanics replaced with standard Dura-Ace ones prior to our photo shoot), a Team Sky-coloured Prologo Nago Evo TTR time-trial-specific saddle, and Pinarello's own integrated carbon fibre aerobar setup.
Total weight as pictured is 8.35kg (18.4lb) – quite respectable when you remember that time trial bikes generally aren't all that light and the Pinarello aero bar setup looks to use an awful lot of carbon. Moreover, Team Sky's mechanics stressed that Wiggins' machines (he has two!) are still pre-production prototypes and the custom paint job also adds a chunk of weight.
Not that any of this mattered on Saturday, though, given the pan-flat parcours. Needless to say, Pinarello couldn't have wished for a more successful competitive debut.

Our most recent project was a set of bookshelves for her wall. I love that it adds a little bit of decoration to the room and I love that it's so easy for both my girls to put away the books. No more piles of books laying around on the floor.
I had some leftover wood from an old project so the only thing I had to buy was a countersink drill bit.
I used a 1x6 for the back piece against the wall, a 1x4 for the bottom and a 1x3 for the front piece. I put all five shelves together in one afternoon. The priming and painting took the longest with all the drying time. Once they were done, I hung them by drilling right into the wall studs. It was such an easy project.
Most days I find Madison sitting in front of her shelves reading a book, then rearranging the shelves so they look pretty.

HILLSDALE � A field of 24 tractors and trucks took to the pulling track at the Hillsdale County Fairgrounds for the Wolverine Pullers event Thursday night.
A crowd of spectators filled the grandstands as trucks and tractors in four divisions competed in one of the last events of the season. The Wolverine Pullers will return to the fairgrounds at 7 p.m. tonight for an encore presentation.
The largest field of tractors was the Super Farm class with 15 competing. Smoke billowed from the stacks of the tractors as they attempted to pull the sled down the 300-foot track.
The Super Farm division was won by Rob Trowbridge of South Haven the driver of Disturbed with a distance of 300.16-feet. The top five was rounded out by Dave Whelan of Tipton, Robert McTaggart of Adrian, Lee Butts and Brook Ferris.

On standardized tests, 17-year-old students are doing no better than they did decades ago
Philip Elliot, Associated Press, in Star Tribune, June 27, 2013 – Students preparing to leave high school are faring no better in reading or math than their peers four decades ago, the government said Thursday. Officials attributed the bleak finding on more lower-performing students staying in school rather than dropping out.
The news was brighter for younger students and for blacks and Hispanics, who had the greatest gain in reading and math scores since the 1970s, according to the National Assessment of Educational Progress, commonly referred to as the Nation's Report Card.
"In some ways, the findings are full of hope. Today's children ages 9 and 13 are scoring better overall than students at those ages in the early '70s," said Brent Houston, principal of the Shawnee Middle School in Oklahoma and a member of the National Assessment Governing Board, which administers the tests.
But he also noted challenges for older students.
"There is a disturbing lack of improvement among 17-year-olds. Since the early 1970s, the average scores of 17-year-olds in both reading and mathematics have remained stagnant," he said.
The report says that in reading, today's 9- and 13-year-olds are outperforming students tested in 1971, when that skill was first tracked. They also did better in math, compared with students in 1973, the initial measurement.
Officials suggest the results for 17-year-old students reflect fewer low-performing students dropping out.
For instance, Hispanic students had a 32 percent dropout rate in 1990 and that number fell to 15 percent in 2010, said Peggy Carr, an associate commissioner with the National Center for Education Statistics.
"These students are generally scoring at the lower end of the distribution but it's a good thing that they're staying in schools," Carr said.
Even so, they're still not learning more despite increased education spending.
"Today's results are the nation's education electrocardiogram and show positive results for the early grades and increased performance by students of color, but the nation's high school students are in desperate need of serious attention," said Bob Wise, president of the Alliance for Excellent Education and former governor of West Virginia.
"Today's economic trends show the rapidly growing need for college- and career-ready students. These results show that most of the nation's 17-year-olds are career ready, but only if you're talking about jobs from the 1970s," he added.
Black and Hispanic students at all ages narrowed the performance gap with white students, according to the report.
Among 17-year-old students, the gaps between black and white students and between Hispanic and white students were cut by half.
In math, 9-year-old black and Hispanic students today are performing at a level where black and Hispanic 13-year-olds were in the early 1970s.
"Black and Hispanic children have racked up some of the biggest gains of all," said Kati Haycock, president of the Education Trust, an advocacy organization. "These results very clearly put to rest any notion our schools are getting worse. In fact, our schools are getting better for every group of students that they serve."
The overall composition of classrooms is changing as well.
Among 13-year-old students, 80 percent were white in 1978. By 2012, that number fell to 56 percent. The number of Hispanics roughly tripled from 6 percent in 1978 to 21 percent in 2012.
"Over a 40-year period, an awful lot changes in our education system," said Jack Buckley, the chief of the National Center for Education Statistics.
While most groups of students saw their scores climb since 1971, the same cannot be said when comparing 2008 results with 2012. The 9-year-old and 17-year-old students saw no changes and only Hispanic and female 13-year-olds showed improvement in reading and math.
The 2012 results were based on 26,000 students in public and private schools. The tests took roughly one hour and were not significantly different than when they were first administered in the early 1970s.
Unlike high-stakes tests that are included in some teachers' evaluations, these tests are a more accurate measurement because "these are not exams that teachers are not teaching to," Haycock said.
"Nobody teaches to the NAEP exam, which is why it's such as useful measure to what our kids can actually do," she said.

Hayward® Unwraps New Product Packaging for Spare Parts
For the first time in 15 years, new packaging to provide
For more information, contact:
Gary Young
Phone: 612-247-8123
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
ELIZABETH, NJ (January 24, 2012) — At the Atlantic City Pool & Spa Show, Hayward® Pool Products is debuting its new, uniform packaging concept for spare parts -- integrating its signature branding throughout all of the product categories.
The new packaging is part of Hayward's strategy to build the value of Hayward Genuine Parts. In conjunction with establishing a bolder retail presence and elevating its brand identity, Hayward intends to make its spare parts more easily identifiable and usable for all consumers. According to Hayward Product Manager of Spare Parts Mike Huppert, "We have not changed the look and feel of our spare parts packaging in over 15 years. The new format will give us a fresh, professional presentation by utilizing uniform bag sizing and category layout designs prepared in a planogram format. This strategy will enable us to enhance the overall perception of Hayward value."
Hayward's new visual signature, featuring a blue water cascade with ribbons of orange, yellow and blue, will be applied to the new bag design for all spare parts and accessories that currently use a printed bag. The new bags will begin to be implemented in production during the first quarter of 2012.
Huppert explained that all existing spare parts inventory at Hayward will be shipped prior to the availability of products with the new bag design. "It was always our intention to incorporate the new look and feel into our spare parts packaging as soon as possible, but we wanted to be environmentally responsible and deplete all existing packaging inventory before rolling out the new," he said.
In addition to the new packaging, Hayward will be creating new three sided floor and counter displays for spare parts to maximize point of purchase appeal. Limited quantities will also become available during the first quarter of 2012.
Huppert noted that there will also be new quick repair kits (H-Kits) available in March. "They include eight new pump repair kits, three new cleaner repair kits and eight new multi-cartridge element kits. These will all have the new spare parts packaging as they are released in March," he said. Additionally, Hayward's repair kits and multipacks, which provide a cost advantage over single purchase items, will feature the new packaging design.

I pulled out my Lorac Little Black Palette for this one. I love the creamy baked eyeshadows from this palette and I hope Lorac does more in color! It's also a very neutral look for the neutral lovers out there.
I started off with Urban Decay Primer Potion all over my lid up to the brow bone. I applied MAC Layin' Low Paintpot (creamy beige) on the browbone and the crease as my primary base - Real Techniques Deluxe Crease Brush.
On the inner lid and tearduct area I applied an icy gold eyeshadow from the Lorac Little Black Palette with MAC Mixing Medium. MAC 239 Eye Shader Brush

On the outer lid and crease I applied Illamasqua Boomerang Eyeshadow (matte dark brown). Sonia Kashuk Large Crease Brush

My brows are filled in with Sleek Brow Kit in Dark. Cozzette Eyebrow/Mini Shader D230 Brush/Paula Dorf Eye Definer Flat Top Brush

I lined my lower waterline with L'Oreal HIP Cream Eyeliner in Black. MAC 212 Flat Definer BrushI used L'Oreal Carbon Black Voluminous Mascara for my lashes.
For my lips I used Clé de Peau Beauté Extra Silky Lipstick in #103 (creamy pink nude).
I primed my skin with MAC Oil Control Lotion - hands. I used MAC Matchmaster Foundation in 7 - Sigma Flat Top Synthetic Kabuki Brush - for my face and set my t-zone with MAC Studio Careblend/Pressed Powder in Dark - face puff.
I used MUFE #12 Full Cover Concealer - Cozzette P350 Cylinder Concealer Brush - under my eyes set with MAC Studio Careblend/Pressed Powder in Medium Deep - face puff.

Using the on-line salary refund function, agency personnel will build and approve a pending record for subsequent Bureau of State Payrolls audit and approval. It will appear as selection SR on the payroll main menu and will provide agency personnel access to the on-line salary refund function. By entering the social security number, warrant date and warrant number, the on-line salary refund function allows the selection of an original payroll detail record; corrections to be made to the rate and/or hours fields; adjustments to certain deductions; and, use of the system to perform the calculations to determine the amount of the overpayment to be recovered from the employee.
The system will automate the changes to federal payroll taxes for refunds of payment made in the current calendar year, life insurance originally calculated by the payroll system and retirement contributions (including ORP). The amounts originally deducted for the Pretax Benefits Program, court ordered support, federal tax levies and U.S. savings bonds may not be changed. If the correct payment amount is not enough to cover those deductions, the employee remittance must make up the difference. All other deductions or reductions may either be deleted or left as the original amount taken.
Recovery of all deleted deductions or reductions will be made either from the employee or the recipient of the proceeds. Deductions or reductions processed through transfer accounts, e.g., 0437 GENERAL REVENUE PAID PARKING, will be recovered systematically. All other deleted deductions or reductions must be recovered by the agency from the recipients. The deletion of miscellaneous deductions or reductions on partial refunds should occur only to correct documented errors caused by the agency.
A minimum of twenty weeks of regular salary and other personal services (OPS) payments will be available for on-line inquiry and access through the salary refund function. Payments made during the current calendar year and the preceding calendar year which were issued earlier than the period which is available on-line, may be obtained by using the weekly retrieval process available through the on-line salary refund function. For example, when the system is made available on November 15, the detail of payments made June 1993 through November 14 will be available on-line. Payroll transactions with a warrant date during the period January 2, 1992, through May 31, 1993, will be available using the weekly retrieval process. The payroll calendar furnished to holders of the Payroll Preparation Manual reflects a purge schedule of the Salary Detail File. The purge schedule will be modified to include two additional months of detail. For example, on November 12, 1993, the May detail will be purged. Refund calculations performed on payments dated in the prior calendar year will not contain an income tax calculation. Any income tax withheld on the amount of the overpayment will be included in the calculated refund amount to be recovered from the employee. Refunds applicable to warrant dates earlier than prior calendar year must be manually calculated because the system does not have access to the detail records.
The on-line salary refund function will be added to the agency designated Access Control Custodian's menu on November 5, 1993. The security function is designed to allow a separation of duties for the SALARY REFUND (add/input) and SAL REFUND APP (agency approval). A user may be set up for either or both functions by assigning one of three levels as follows: P=Prohibit, I=Inquiry and U=Update.
Automated transactions, which are currently posted to the Central Accounting System after manual salary refunds are processed, will be generated from the on-line salary refund process for approved and processed transactions. The posted transactions will be included with the manual refund transactions and printed on the Detail Register, PR 2390. The accounting detail for the on-line transactions will be the same as the manual salary refunds.
Form DBF-BP-29, Refund For Overpayment of Salary, will not be used for refunds processed through the on-line salary refund function. A new form, Form DBF-BP-07, Transmittal of Salary Refund, will be prepared by agency personnel to submit the employee remittance. Since the on-line system uses rate, hours worked and contracted hours to calculate an employee's correct payment, over-payments which are the result of incorrect information other than an incorrect number of hours or incorrect rates of pay will require a manual calculation of the overpayment and the preparation of the Form DBF-BP-29. Only regular salary/OPS payments that were calculated using period or hourly rate, hours worked and contracted hours, may be submitted through the on-line system. Regular salary payments are assigned an earnings code of 9170; regular OPS payments are assigned an earnings code of 9171. Other earnings codes are to be calculated manually and submitted on a DBF-BP-29. The on-line system will display a message if the warrant requested is a payment other than a regular payment.
Enclosed is a sample of the new Form DBF-BP-07. A supply will be sent to each agency fiscal office. Additional supplies may be obtained from Kelly Hand at 488-7762, Suncom 278-7762, in the Bureau of State Payrolls.
If you have questions concerning this memorandum, please direct them to Patti Calhoun at (904) 488-7762, Suncom 278-7762.

Saltverk is one of the few entirely sustainable flaky sea salt producers in the world. The flaky sea salt are handmade pyramid-like crystal salt flakes that contain the flavour and taste of the Nordic region from which the raw materials used in it is derived. Saltverk Sea Salt includes minerals necessary for the human body and embodies calmness reminiscent of the location of its tranquil production surroundings.
Handcrafted and artisanal salt smoked with Icelandic birch. The salt is dried over birch smoke according to an old tradition which gives it a characteristic and very strong smoky flavor unlike anything you have tried before.
Our salt making method is based on the 17th century old method practiced as well in Reykjanes. Reykjanes has some of the cleanest seawater imaginable which is the raw material used for making sea salt, where the North Arctic Ocean stream goes down the bay of Isaardardjup. On Reykjanes exists a lively wild life, consisting of whales, seals and birds. Not to mention the geysers, which the place derives its name from, that are still active and spread all over Reykjanes.
Saltverk is a newly established company which makes artisan flaky sea salt, using two centuries old method, in the Westfjords of Iceland. It is located on a small peninsula,
Reykjanes, separating two fjords, surrounded with high mountains.
The Danish king established a saltwork in Reykjanes when Iceland was a part of the Danish kingdom. At that time the Danes had interest in Icelandic sheries and exports and the main purpose of the historic saltwork was to produce enough salt to satisfy the salt need of the Baccalà export of Iceland. The reason for it being situated in Reykjanes was how close the geysers were to the sea.
We pump the sea-water to open pans where we pre-heat it until it becomes a strong brine, a salinity level of 17-20%. Then we boil the brine until white crystals appear on the surface and slowly fall to the bottom of the pan. Then we draw the pan and drain any remaining liquid. Then it is dried and put into packaging.
During this whole process we use 206 °F hot geyser water from the hot springs of Reykjanes where we use it in the pre-heating, boiling and drying process of our salt. Geothermal energy is the sole energy source used, which means during our whole process we leave zero carbon footprints on the environment and no CO2 and CH4 emissions.

Thinking of you
This is my last one off for quite a while so I plan on enjoying it even if the weather is kinda rainy and gloomy. Heck, isn't that just a perfect excuse to say inside and craft? ;)
So I recently got this new Mix&Mend mini paper pad from Sassafras and OMGosh is it delish! First off, I just love the color combo (anything with a bit of orange is A-Okay in my book, LOL). And second, all of the embellishing is practically done for you already in the print... how cool is that?Seriously, doesn't it look like I took a long time aging and layering all of those bits and pieces? Nope, lazy me just used a single sheet of paper for the background! Not only that but I thought the design created the perfect little sitting spot for this Pergamano fairy stamp and her mouse friend.
I did add a few of my own touches like the sentiment, rub-on stitches, the pearls and that gorgeous crinkled ribbon that my sweet bloggin' buddy Kiara made. She actually sent me a virtual rainbow of her lovely ribbons and as soon as I pulled it out of the package I knew I had to add some to this card, it just had that vintage vibe that matched the paper to a 'T'... BIG thanks Kiara, I love it all! :)
Alright, I think that's it from me for the day... enjoy your weekend everybody!
Supply list:
cardstock- Bazzill and Copic X-Press It
paper- Sassafras (Mix&Mend)
stamps- Pergamano (Fairies 2 and Flower Girls), Technique Tuesday (sentiment)
ink- Memento tuxedo black and rich cocoa, Colorbox dark brown chalk ink
K&Co rub-on stitches
Kaiser Craft pearls
crinkled ribbon from Kiara :)
Sakura stardust glitter pen
Copic markers:
skin- E000, E21, E13, E00, R20
hair- E44, E47, E49
clothes- Y13, Y15, Y35, YG00, YG01, YG03, Y38, YR04, B12, B14, B16, B0000, B000, B02, 0
mouse- E40, E41, 0, R20, R00

U18's win by largest margin of the season highlights a 1-1-2 weekend for the youth Revs
DURFEE, Mass. & GARDEN CITY, N.Y. – Coming off of a winning weekend at home, the New England Revolution youth teams went a combined 1-1-2 in their latest matches against Potomac-U at Durfee High School on Saturday, then traveling to Adelphi University Sunday, May 2, to square off against Albertson SC. The U16's played to a loss and a tie, while the U18's pulled off a spectacular late goal to conserve a draw with Potomac-U, and carried momentum into Sunday where they defeated Albertson by the largest margin of victory yet this season.
The Under-16s kicked the weekend off with a home game at Durfee High School on Saturday afternoon in a 3-2 loss to Potomac-U. The U16s went down 2-0 in the first half on goals from Potomac-U's Eduardo De La Riva in the 11th minute and Nick Breitsameter in the 25th. The youth Revs cut the lead to one when Pablo Espinola (Somerville, Mass.) scored an unassisted goal in the 40th minute, just before halftime. Cole Denormandie (Sudbury, Mass.) then tied the score just after the break, with an unassisted tally in the 45th minute. The two clubs played even for the next 15 minutes, but Potomac-U's Andrew Kestler scored what would prove to be the game-winning goal in the 60th minute, and the U16's comeback bid fell short in a one-goal loss.
The Under-18's salvaged a dramatic tie with a late goal against Potomac-U on Saturday afternoon. Jonni Ventura (Westminster, Mass.) ensured a draw in the 88th minute on a connection from Homero Morais (Somerville, Mass.) as time wound down. Potomac-U struck first when Joseph Pratt tallied in the 11th minute, but Fabio Junior (Leominster, Mass.) knotted the score at one in the waning minutes before halftime. Potomac recaptured the lead when Hugh Roberts found the back of the net in the 47th minute, but the youth Revs kept battling and finally converted a late goal to stay out of the loss column.
Thanks in part to stellar goaltending by Tyler Zon (Wellesley, Mass.), the U16's played a scoreless first half against Alberson SC at Adelphi University on Sunday. It was Albertson that struck first, though, with a goal by Dakota Barnathan in the 73rd minute. Two minutes later, the U16's were able to tie the score in the 75th minute with a goal by Cole Denormandie, assisted by Diego Fagundez (Leominster, Mass.). Neither team could convert another tally, and the match finished and finished in a 1-1 tie.
The U18s followed with an exciting, high-scoring victory over Albertson SC to cap the weekend. Jonni Ventura set up Michael Rincon (Malden, Mass.) in the 39th minute, giving the U18's a 1-0 lead. Albertson tied the game in the 43rd minute with a goal by Mosiah Bader. The U18's dominated the second half, getting goals from Gustavo Santos (Framingham, Mass.) in the 67th minute, Jonni Ventura in the 72nd minute, Homero Morais in the 76th minute, Rincon again in the 79th minute, and Fabio Junior in the 82nd minute. The U18's defeated Albertson SC by a final score of 6-1.
A loss and draw moved the U16s to 8-6-5 (5-2-0) on the season, still good for first place in the Northeast Division. A draw followed by a win improved the U18's record to 9-8-2 (4-2-1) on the season, also good enough for first place in their division. Both clubs are home at Gillette Stadium next weekend, where they will host PDA on Saturday, May 8, and New York Red Bulls on Sunday, May 9.

1. Create a gmail account for your sub.
I didn't know who was going to be my sub until the week before my due date. I was a mess worrying that I would go into labor before my replacement was found! My mind was racing with all of the things that I needed to remember to tell my sub before she took over. I also realized that even if I had an opportunity to tell her those things face-to-face, there was a good chance that she'd forget some of it due to information overload. And honestly? I was going to forget to tell her things, too. My solution was to create a generic email address (e.g., sub4[your last name]@gmail.com) and then send short emails to that address as I thought of things I would want her to know. This was really helpful in a lot of ways:
- My sub could easily find the information she was looking for based on the carefully chosen subject lines of my emails to her.
- I could share the email address with my colleagues and administrators so that they could include her on staff emails without needing to rely on me to forward the emails to her. Given that it took almost a month for her to get set up with an official school email, this was especially useful.
- I could share my relevant Google Docs, Sites, Calendars, and Dropbox files with her.
- I have a permanent archive of the "tips" I thought of through the emails that I sent her.
2. Create unit plans in Google Docs.
I increasingly love having all of my work stored in the cloud. I alternate between 4 different computers and 2 different iPads between home and work, and there's no way I could stay organized without having my important documents in the cloud. Over the summer, I began to create a Google Doc for each unit that I teach. I've created subject prefixes to help organize the files, and I also tag them for different folders such as "Social Studies" and "Term 1." I'm sharing these with colleagues on my grade level, and I also shared them with my sub via the gmail address that I created. The docs were helpful because I could add to them if I thought of more ideas while on leave (particularly helpful during the week when I was on leave but still waiting to go in labor -- the little one was late). It also let me see what was happening if and when my sub added to the documents.
3. Find little ways to stay connected to your students.
I was with my fourth graders for the first three weeks of the year, so I got to know them a little bit, and I had an opportunity to set up some of my classroom routines, expectations, and procedures. I worried, however, that I would feel like I was starting over when I return after Thanksgiving. To help combat this, I created assignments that would allow me to occasionally check in and monitor their progress online. My students blogged about the books they were reading on Kidblog, and they competed in a multiplication and division showdown on SumDog. I commented on the students' blogs from time to time, and it's seemed to keep my students motivated to read and write. None of it was a big time commitment, and it gave me something to do when the little one was asleep in my lap and too content to move.
4. Plan, but don't overplan.
My district will only place certified teachers in longterm sub positions, and I think that's the way it is in most schools. With that in mind, I did not go into anywhere near the level of detail that I would go into for a short term sub. I know that I have a different teaching style from many other teachers, and the detailed lessons that I would write up might not work for my sub. I put together detailed plans for the first couple weeks to help her as she got acquainted with my class/school, but beyond that, I left her with a detailed curriculum map with learning targets and suggested resources. It saved me the work of writing lesson plans that she wouldn't necessarily use, and it saved her from trying a style that she might not have been as comfortable or effective with.
5. Try to arrange for some shadow time.
I am incredibly grateful that once my principal secured my long term sub, he paid her to shadow me the week before my leave started. It allowed her to get a sense of my students and classroom management style, and it facilitated a lot of conversations based on questions she had. And given that I was 39 weeks pregnant in the middle of August, it gave me someone to help shuttle my class up and down the three flights of stairs between lunch, recess, and specials while I dashed to the bathroom. It was a blessing.
It was really hard for me to give up control of my students for 12 weeks, but I feel good about the situation that I'll be stepping back into. And if I ever need a long term sub again, I feel comfortable with some of the infrastructure that I created this go around. Certainly there's more that I could do, however. What about you -- any tips for how you prepared for a long term sub or reflections on how you would've done things differently? I'd love to hear them in the comments section.

How To Minimize Back Fat
Transcript from "Bra Fitting Secrets: How To Minimize Bra Back Fat" Video. Length: 2:12"Back fat." It's those bulges of flesh that are created around the edges of a bra. The softer your flesh, the more pronounced they become. The solution is to have more coverage and avoid "thin" straps and bands. Thin anything on your bra is not your friend if you're trying to avoid bra lines and bulges.
Some make the mistake of going up a band size to try and reduce their back fat. When your bra band is too loose, it creeps up your back, pushing your back tissue upwards thus creating a more prominent back bulge. A loose band also compromises your fit. A properly snug bra band is always best. It grabs you at your narrowest part and will reduce the upward creeping, which contributes to back bulges.
Wearing a shaping camisole over your bra will greatly reduce bulges while giving you an overall smooth look under form-fitting clothing.
Taller bra wings spread out the pressure over a greater surface area to cut down on bulges under your arms and along your back.
A Leotard back (also called "U" back) creates a pretty back line while reducing bulges with its curved shape. Usually, the straps are attached closer together and at an angle. This design allows for wider sides to then be paired down in the center. Thus, less of a harness look along with the added benefit of less strap slippage. But, note that not all leotard backs are the same. A wide leotard back like this will do little to reduce bulging and keep your straps on your shoulders.
Racerback (also called t-back and y back) bras are also an option to reduce back fat. Their back panel covers a greater area and reduces bulging. They're also a great choice under sleeveless blouses to hide bra straps.
If you want to reduce back bulges, take a minute to size up your bra's back. Make sure it has the right feature to give you a smoother look.

The Castle Group
The Castle Group is a financial services firm that counsels clients on financial strategies, legacy planning, risk management and insurance services.
Lawyers and other professionals who are in charge of the management of family trusts (legal entities that allow wealthy individuals to pass their assets onto their intended beneficiaries with minimum taxation impact).
We are interested in a logo that helps project an image of old-school, timeless values in the protection of assets. We are also interested in projecting that we have specialized intellectual assets that we use to craft superior insurance products for our clients, many of whom are trusts.
We would like your help in the creation of a logo that portrays two pieces of a chess board: a rook and a king. The symbolism is the act of "castling," where the rook is positioned in a way that protects the king.
The logo should be horizontal in nature and present the rook (representing the castle and therefore protection) protecting the king (representing the client and its assets). To reinforce the protection theme, we believe the rook should be in the foreground and the king in the background. The graphical treatment will be on the left side, with the words "The Castle Group" to the right. Underneath the brand name "The Castle Group" we would like to see descriptive language that defines what we do; "financial strategies" and "trust analytics."
We look to your guidance whether the treatment of the rook/king is more "representative" or "abstract." The overall impression after viewing the logo, should be that the firm has old-school, timeless values and plans intelligently.

Earlier this week, the U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI) announced that as oil and gas leasing on public lands increased in 2012, the number of protested leases declined.
Unfortunately, that's not the case in Colorado. It's just the opposite under Colorado Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Director Helen Hankins. In her state, lease protests have risen sharply and the number of developed leases declined.
Hankins has disregarded DOI's leasing reforms and instead decided to auction drilling leases in places like the North Fork Valley, right next to farms and wineries, and next to Dinosaur National Monument. Her insistence on giving oil and gas companies whatever they ask for has created more red tape for industry, upset local communities, and, if the leases go through, could jeopardize local economies.
Some facts about Hankins' tenure as Colorado's BLM Director:
- According to The Wilderness Society's report, Making the Grade, in Colorado, 93 percent of parcels in lease sale notices were protested in CY 2012. The national average for protested leases was 12 percent, and no other western state exceeded 25 percent.
- Dir. Hankins refuses to listen to the local community in North Fork. Hankins is again planning to lease over 20,000 acres, relying on a resource management plan written in 1989, decades before the organic farms and vineyards that now drive the region's economy were in place.
- Dir. Hankins has repeatedly refused to use Master Leasing Plans (MLP), which allow for landscape-level analysis to determine drilling's effects on air, water, land and wildlife. In South Park, Dir. Hankins has refused to conduct an MLP, despite the fact that Denver's and Aurora 's watersheds are in close proximity to the potential lease sites.

I've been collecting vintage valentines for years. Sometimes I buy them at antique stores, but most of them came from an estate sale. I bought bags of them... someone was very sentimental and kept all of them. Every year I color copy a bunch and make my own valentines with them.
This year I made some banners and mailed them out...
A few years ago, I made this big heart out of foam core and mod podged the valentines on top.
The colors and illustrations are right up my alley.
The punny sentiments are cute too!

Federal judge in Oregon strikes down ban on marriage for same-sex couples
May 19, 2014
Today Judge Michael McShane struck down Oregon's discriminatory state constitutional amendment that denies committed gay couples the freedom to marry, ruling that it violates the U.S. Constitution. The ruling is the 17th consecutive victory in state and federal court for the freedom to marry since the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling in Windsor v. United States in June 2013. The ruling is the 13th win in federal court for marriage since June.
The order is effective immediately - meaning that today, same-sex couples across the state will be able to marry!
Judge McShane wrote in the ruling:
My decision will not be the final word on this subject, but on this issue of marriage I am struck more by our similarities than our differences. I believe that if we can look for a moment past gender and sexuality, we can see in these plaintiffs nothing more or less than our ownfamilies. Families who we would expect our Constitution to protect, if not exalt, in equal measure.
With discernment we see not shadows lurking in closets or the stereotypes of what was once believed; rather, we see families committed to the common purpose of love, devotion, and service to the greater community.
Where will this all lead? I know that many suggest we are going down a slippery slope that will have no moral boundaries. To those who truly harbor such fears, I can only say this: Let us look less to the sky to see what might fall; rather, let us look to each other ... and rise.
The decision follows a last-minute attempt by the anti-gay group National Organization for Marriage (NOM) to intervene in Oregon's marriage case, a motion denied by Judge McShane. The organization's motion for a stay in the proceedings was also denied by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit today.
Thalia Zepatos, director of public engagement at Freedom to Marry and a key adviser to Oregon United for Marriage, the coalition that has worked so hard to win marriage for same-sex couples, released the following statement:
Today Judge McShane did the right thing for families, affirming that the denial of marriage to committed same-sex couples in Oregon is unconstitutional. In recognition of the strong support for marriage among Oregonians, no one with legal standing, including our state Attorney General, wanted to go down in history as defending discrimination.
Across the country, the courts agree: same-sex couples and their families need the protections of marriage, and anti-marriage laws are indefensible. With over 70 marriage cases now making their way through the courts, today's decision in Oregon underscores that all of America is ready for the freedom to marry.
