I was having a conversation recently with a friend and former co-worker of mine. He's bounced around here and there, looking for better positions. And when he first began that journey, it looked like he was heading in the right direction. But with the down turn in the economy, his choices have become more and more limited and he's had to accept less than what he has wanted. He has also faced the fact that he's been cut loose when the company wasn't doing as well as it wanted. That's the way it is with this industry or any other industry. But that's not the point of this post.
My friend had recently been laid off from a full-time position at one job. His old job extended his benefits and pay as part of a severance package, which admittedly they didn't have to do. In South Carolina they can just say, "Your services are no longer needed," and that's that. Now my friend took advantage of a loophole in the benefits coverage and maximized that loophole. What he did was completely within his employment conditions as well as the law for this state. Nothing is at issue there. My friend didn't do anything illegal. Let's clear that up right away. But whether or not it was ethical is a good question.
The former employer was upset at my friend for using the loophole when they extended benefits and pay for my friend's benefit. And because of the fact that my friend used that loophole, it will come out of the employer's pocket. It's not a lot of money, but when you're a small business (as this employer is), every little bit hurts. The employer has a new part time opportunity that might have gone to my friend. However, after what he did, my friend doubts that he will get that part time opportunity. Knowing the employer personally, I doubt that my friend will get the job, unless the employer can find no one else. In the employer's eyes, I'm sure my friend has burned his bridges.
A good rule of thumb I try to follow in life is, "How I would react if the situation were reversed?" We call this the golden rule (and not the one from Aladdin), and in Christian Scripture it's the second greatest commandment ("Love your neighbor as yourself"). When I posed the situation to my friend, for him to imagine he was the employer, he did understand why the employer was upset. He would be, too. And this raises the question, "Then why did you do it?" I never asked my friend that question, because I wasn't sure I would like the answer. I would surely get a lot of justifications, and there are extenuating circumstances in play, but justification is another word for excuse. At the end of the day, what my friend did would be considered a violation of trust. I know that's how his former employer would see it. That's how I see it. And both his former employer and I think alike on this one: if you violate my trust I wil forgive you and move on, but I will be very careful not to put myself in a similar position unless you can, over an extended period of time, prove somehow that I can trust you again. How exactly one proves that he or she is trustworthy again is not a question I can answer. And that's the situation my friend finds himself in with his former employer.
And this comes down to the question of what is legal versus what is ethical. Several of my co-workers and I discuss this distinction at least a couple of times a week. What is legal is pretty clear cut. What is ethical isn't so easy to determine. Everyone looks at situations differently. For one of my co-workers, squeezing in within the boundaries of the law is enough. For me, it goes back to the rule of thumb question. If I know it's not how I would like to be treated or if the situation was reversed I would be angry or offended, then likely it's not ethical. If it's not ethical in our minds, even if it is legal, we ought not be doing it. That's where I think my friend made a mistake. If he applied my rule of thumb, he would have felt the former employee would have been treating him unfairly and violating his trust. So to turn around and do it himself would certainly fit that unethical side of things. But because he didn't sto himself, he has burned a valuable bridge. I'm just hoping that doesn't come back to haunt him in the future. I know in some ways it will. I was the one who recommended my friend to his former employer. After seeing what my friend has done, I am very hesitant to do that again. It's something I'll have to think long and hard about. How do you give a recommendation properly without giving some type of warning? That's something else I don't have a good answer to.

text: Newbie: ftp Date: 16-Jan-00 Author: cogNiTioN <email@example.com> ftp: What is ftp? ftp is a program that allows you to exchange files between your machine, and a remote one. You can upload files (send them from your machine to the remote one), or you can download files (your machine receives them from the remote one). FTP is also the name of the protocol the program uses to transfer the files (File Transfer Protocol), but in this document, ftp will refer to the program. Note: There is more than one ftp program (or client), so this file refers to the command line utility found on most unix/linux systems. The MS-DOS ftp program will probably be very similar, and even the basics will be applicable to most GUI (Graphical User Interface) ftp clients. Modern web browsers, and even some not so modern ones, are able to download files from ftp sites. Why use ftp? ftp can be used to upload/download any files to any machine running an ftp server (or daemon), and on which you have a valid login account, or the server has a anonymous account anyone can use. e.g. lots of web sites allow you to upload your page with ftp, and lots of programs/files (including many distributions of Linux) are available from ftp sites which have anonymous accounts. Anonymous accounts are accounts that anyone can use, instead of entering your user name when prompted, to make use of an anonymous account, you use the name 'anonymous', and normally you get asked to use your email address as the account password. Normally an anonymous accout has limited privilages, meaning an anonymous user can only access certain parts of the site and more often than not, can only download files; they wouldn't be able to upload them. While ftp used to be almost exclusively used for uploading files, it is now losing ground to scp, which uses ssh to transfer the files, and is thus infinitely more secure. The use of scp is beyond the scope of this file, but there are plans for a file on scp. Using ftp: As with most Un*x programs, there is more than one way to connect to a remote ftp site. One way is to start ftp and specify the remote machine (or server) on the command line. Another way is to start ftp, and then use the open command inside ftp to open a connection. Note: Once ftp is running, it has it's own special prompt, just like a unix shell. This prompt will normally look like this 'ftp>'. (Please note: A fictional ftp site has been used for security reasons) cog@pingu:/usr/cog $ ftp ftp.attrition.org Connected to forced.attrition.org. 220 ProFTPD 1.2.0pre3a Server (forced proftpd service) [forced.attrition.org] Name (ftp.attrition.org:cog): cog 331 Password required for cog. Password: 230 User cog logged in. Remote system type is UNIX. Using binary mode to transfer files. ftp> or: cog@pingu:/usr/cog $ ftp ftp> open ftp.attrition.org Connected to forced.attrition.org. 220 ProFTPD 1.2.0pre3a Server (forced proftpd service) [forced.attrition.org] Name (ftp.attrition.org:cog): cog 331 Password required for cog. Password: 230 User cog logged in. ftp> Now you're connected to your ftp site, you need to know how to transfer files to (download) and from (upload) your machine to the ftp server. To upload files from your machine to the server you can use the put and mput commands. put local-file [remote-file] Store a local file on the remote machine. If remote-file is left unspecified, the local file name is used. [send can also be used, and is a synonym for put] mput [local-files] Expand wildcards in local-files given as arguments and do a put for each file. e.g.: ftp> put ftp.file.html local: ftp.file.html remote: ftp.file.html 200 PORT command successful. 150 Opening BINARY mode data connection for ftp.file.html 226 Transfer complete ftp> put ftp.file.html ftp.html local: ftp.file.html remote: ftp.html 200 PORT command successful. 150 Opening BINARY mode data connection for ftp.html 226 Transfer complete ftp> mput */index.* mput news/index? y 200 PORT command successful. 150 Opening BINARY mode data connection for news/index. 226 Transfer complete. 442 bytes sent in 0.0835 secs (5.2 Kbytes/sec) mput news/index.html? y 200 PORT command successful. 150 Opening BINARY mode data connection for news/index.html. 226 Transfer complete. 1377 bytes sent in 0.256 secs (5.3 Kbytes/sec) mput news/index.old.shtml? n mput linux/index? y 200 PORT command successful. 150 Opening BINARY mode data connection for linux/index. 226 Transfer complete. 1192 bytes sent in 0.156 secs (7.5 Kbytes/sec) mput linux/index.html? y 200 PORT command successful. 150 Opening BINARY mode data connection for linux/index.html. 226 Transfer complete. ftp> As the above example shows, when using mput, ftp normally asks you before transferring the files. If you're transferring lots of files, this can get very tedious, and is time consuming, so I like to start ftp with the -i flag. This turns off interactive prompting and transfers the files without asking you. Once at the ftp> prompt, if you type prompt, you can toggle the status of interactive mode. If, as in the above example, you are transferring files to any directory other than the current working directory (which can be found using the pwd command), then you need to make sure the directory you're transferring files to already exists, because ftp will not automatically create it for you. To create directories you can use the mkdir command just as you would in a normal Un*x shell. e.g.: ftp> mkdir /test 257 "/test" - directory successfully created. Now, to download a file from the remote server to your computer you first need to locate the file you want to download. One command you may use to do this is ls, which works the same as the unix version of ls, except the output is in the format of ls -l. dir can also be used, as can mdir. dir is a synonym for ls, and mdir is the same as dir, except that multiples files can be specified with mdir. If you need to move around directories on the remote machine you can use the command cd. Once you've located the file to download, there are several ways you can get the file; get, mget, reget, recv and newer. get remote-file [local-file] Retrieve the remote file and store it on the local machine. If the local filename is not specified, it is given the same name as it has on the remote machine. mget is rather like mput; it is the same as get, except that wildcards are expanded with mget. reget also works the same as get, except if the local file already exists, and the local file is smaller, it assumes that the local file is a partial download of the remote file and continues the download from the end of local file. This is good if the transfer is dropped half way through. newer is again, the same as get, except the remote file is only got if it is newer than the already existing local file. This is useful for seeing if a particular package/file has been updated, and then downloading it if it has. Advanced Usage of ftp: ftp has quite a few 'advanced' functions, which include the ability to define macros (strings of commands which can be called from just one command), automatic login (with automatic execution of a macro), file name mapping and character translation (in filenames). These are all detailed in the man page, and I will leave them as an exercise for the reader. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ More information: Man pages: ftp scp Books: _Linux in a Nutshell_ (O'Reilly ISBN 1-56592-167-4) available on amazon.com, here.

Stumbled into "Young @ Heart", a documentary about a New England choral group performing punk, rock, and R&B covers; the hook is that the members are well over 70 (high of 92).
Sounds like an opportunity for terminal cuteness … "oh those feisty seniors … isn't it amazing that they can sort of sing at all at their age? … it's so inspiring!". That's exactly the sense you get from the trailer which is delivered with the typical phone-it-in Fox Searchlight style. Exactly the kind of movie I avoid.
But this one caught me completely by surprise and I'm still roiling with emotions a day later. I'm trying to figure out why.
It should have been utter treacle like one of those sentimental movies about animals, or kids, or illness, or the mentally infirm. Instead it's a rich character study in which each member of the cast takes you somewhere you're likely to go … somewhere you want to go … if you're lucky enough to live that well.
Singing is the glue and reason enough to watch. The songs - well-known pop tunes of youthful love, rage, despair, and hope – confess new moods and meanings as sung by performers far from adolescence. The juxtapositions can be simple fun as in the raucous "I Want to be Sedated", given literal treatment by a cast for whom the wheelchair is a serious threat. Or it can rip you open as when Bob Knittle's rich baritone pleads "I will try to fix you" to the barely perceptible beat of his oxygen machine, counting down toward the inevitable. It would be contrived if it didn't actually happen, inadvertently, before a packed house of loving fans.
The heart of the movie is the interviews and the lives of the cast as they orbit the rehearsal hall. The authenticity is striking. At a jail house concert the camera lingers on the prisoners' faces each surrendering a thought of present loss or worrisome future. They are not being entertained (although they think they are); they are transported to the company of someone they miss, of someone they may become.
Death is a looming presence. Close as he is, the cast are no more ready for him than we are.
It's not great filmmaking. It's great human material triumphing over the pedestrian. It's people being themselves, striving for meaning and community, just a few feet ahead of us down the road we travel together.

Paolo Caliari (Veronese)Biography
The artist was Paolo Caliari. He was born in 1528 in Verona, Italy, from whence came his name, Veronese. Living and working during the Mannerist Era, his name has come to symbolise the splendorous pomp and wealth of his adopted city, Venice. The controversial effort that got him in trouble would, at first glance, appear to be designed to do just that. This was no modest little easel painting. It was 42 feet long and some 18 feet tall, painted in oil on stretched canvas. There seems to be a rather boisterous dinner party going on. The painting is a fool-the-eye tour-de-force featuring three gigantic arches framing a hazy city in the background. Seated under the centre arch is undeniably a portrait of Jesus. But amongst his dinner companions are foreign soldiers, merchants, tax collectors, a man picking his teeth, mongrel dogs, a parrot, and quite a number of equally unsavoury characters. The inquisition apparently felt Jesus should not be depicted amongst such riffraff.
In their grilling of Veronese, the Inquisition's questions centred upon whether it was, in fact, a Last Supper. Veronese insisted it was not. Perhaps it had started out that way, but at some point he'd had the good sense to change the title to Feast in the House of Simon, which was a small dinner just before Jesus entered Jerusalem. Veronese defended his work; "We painters take the same license poets and jesters take...I paint pictures as I see fit and as well as my talent permits." Though not quite heresy perhaps, the statement was nonetheless quite shocking at the time and definitely offended those who took issue with his work. They demanded he change it. In the end, Veronese chose instead to merely change the title to Feast in the House of Levi. In doing so, the artist had a modest degree of revenge since the Bible notes that after this banquet, Jesus himself was criticised for hobnobbing with such characters. His defence was more direct; "I have not come to call the righteous to repentance but sinners." (Luke 5:32)

Mayor Don Wesely today presented the Mayor's Award of Excellence for April to a team from the Fire Prevention Inspection Division of the Building and Safety Department. The monthly award recognizes city employees who consistently provide exemplary service and work that demonstrates personal commitment to the city. The award was presented at the beginning of today's City Council meeting.
Plaques were presented to Chuck Schweitzer and Jack Bruns. They were nominated in the category of productivity by Chief Fire Inspector Bill Moody for their work to turn the original hazardous material vehicle into the new arson and bomb squad response vehicle.
Moody said the vehicle was donated by the Lincoln Fire Department and was nothing but a shell when the two began working on it. Schweitzer contacted many companies to get contributions of materials needed to renovate the vehicle. Bruns wired the vehicle to accommodate cell phone use. The Airport Authority built new shelving and a work station with a table and two booth seats. Schweitzer donated and installed the cabinetry.
"The vehicle has recently been completed and has been used on several large fires that have had lengthy investigations," Mayor Wesely said. "The vehicle provides a place to meet with police investigators, conduct interviews and store and transport the equipment. The city's cost was about $3,000. Without the effort of these individuals, the cost could have easily exceeded $50,000."
The other categories in which employees can be nominated are customer relations, safety, loss prevention and valor. All city employees are eligible for the Mayor's Award of Excellence except for elected officials and some managers. Individuals or teams can be nominated by supervisors, peers, subordinates and the general public.
Nomination forms are available from department heads, employee bulletin boards or the Personnel Department , which oversees the awards program. All nominations are reviewed by the Mayor's Award of Excellence Committee, which includes a representative with each union and a non-union representative appointed by the Mayor. Award winners receive a $100 U.S. savings bond, a day off with pay and a plaque. Monthly winners are eligible to receive the annual award, which comes with a $500 U.S. savings bond, two days off with pay and a plaque.

Greenland surface melt measurements from three satellites on July 8 (left panel) and July 12 (right panel), 2012. Source:(NASA, 2012)
- New World Bank-commissioned report warns the world is on track to a "4°C world" marked by extreme heat-waves and life-threatening sea level rise.
- Adverse effects of global warming are "tilted against many of the world's poorest regions" and likely to undermine development efforts and goals.
- Bank eyes increased support for adaptation, mitigation, inclusive green growth and climate-smart development.
November 18, 2012 — Like summer's satellite image of the melting Greenland ice sheet, a new report suggests time may be running out to temper the rising risks of climate change.
"Turn Down the Heat: Why a 4°C Warmer World Must be Avoided [4]," (pdf) (eBook version [5]) warns we're on track for a 4°C warmer world marked by extreme heat-waves, declining global food stocks, loss of ecosystems and biodiversity, and life-threatening sea level rise.
Moreover, adverse effects of a warming climate are "tilted against many of the world's poorest regions" and likely to undermine development efforts and global development goals, says the study by the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research [6] and Climate Analytics [7], on behalf of the World Bank. The report, urges "further mitigation action as the best insurance against an uncertain future."
"A 4°C warmer world can, and must be, avoided - we need to hold warming below 2°C," said World Bank Group President Jim Yong Kim. "Lack of action on climate change threatens to make the world our children inherit a completely different world than we are living in today. Climate change is one of the single biggest challenges facing development, and we need to assume the moral responsibility to take action on behalf of future generations, especially the poorest."
The report, reviewed by some of the world's top scientists, is being released ahead of the next comprehensive studies by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in 2013/14, and follows the Bank's own Strategic Framework for Development and Climate Change [8] in 2008 and the World Development Report [9] on climate change in 2010. "Turn Down the Heat" combines a synthesis of recent scientific literature with new analysis of likely impacts and risks, focusing on developing countries. It chronicles already observed climate change and impacts, such as heat waves and other extreme events, and offers projections for the 21st century for droughts, heat waves, sea level rise, food, water, ecosystems and human health.
The report says today's climate could warm from the current global mean temperature of 0.8°C above pre-industrial levels, to as high as 4°C by 2100, even if countries fulfill current emissions-reduction pledges.
"This report reinforces the reality that today's climate volatility affects everything we do," said Rachel Kyte, the Bank's Vice President for Sustainable Development. "We will redouble our efforts to build adaptive capacity and resilience, as well as find solutions to the climate challenge."
The World Bank doubled lending for climate change adaptation last year and plans to step up efforts to support countries' initiatives to mitigate carbon emissions and promote inclusive green growth and climate-smart development. Among other measures, the Bank administers the $7.2 billion Climate Investment Funds [10] now operating in 48 countries and leveraging an additional $43 billion in clean investment and climate resilience.
Rising Sea Levels
The report says sea levels have been rising faster in the last two decades than previously, and this rise is being seen in many tropical regions of the world. This phenomenon is partly due to melting of the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets; the rapid growth in melt area observed since the 1970s in Greenland's ice sheet is a clear illustration of its increasing vulnerability. Arctic sea ice also reached a record minimum in September 2012. "There are indications that the greatest melt extent in the past 225 years has occurred in the last decade," says the report.
"It's early yet but clearly some of the small island states and coastal communities are beginning to take a hard look at their options," said Erick Fernandes, co-lead of the Bank's Global Expert Team on Climate Change Adaptation. "The need to adapt to climate change will increase as global population reaches 9 billion in 2050," he added.
Ocean Acidification
Coral reefs are acutely sensitive to changes in water temperature and acidity levels. The report warns that by the time the warming levels reach 1.4° C in 2030s, coral reefs may stop growing. This would be a result of oceans becoming more acidic as a result of higher CO2 concentrations. And with 2.4° C, coral reefs in several areas may actually start to dissolve. This is likely to have profound consequences for people who depend on them for food, income, tourism and shoreline protection.
Heat Extremes
A 4°C warmer world would also suffer more extreme heat waves, and these events will not be evenly distributed across the world, according to the report.
Sub-tropical Mediterranean, northern Africa, the Middle East, and the contiguous United States are likely to see monthly summer temperatures rise by more than 6°C. Temperatures of the warmest July between 2080-2100 in the Mediterranean are expected to approach 35°C - about 9°C warmer than the warmest July estimated for the present day. The warmest July month in the Sahara and the Middle East will see temperatures as high as 45°C, or 6-7°C above the warmest July simulated for the present day.
Lower agricultural yields
Hotter weather could in turn lower crop yields in a 4°C world-raising concerns about future food security. Field experiments have shown that crops are highly sensitive to temperatures above certain thresholds. One study cited in the report found that each "growing degree day" spent at a temperature of 30 degrees decreases yields by 1% under drought-free rain-fed conditions.
The report also says drought-affected areas would increase from 15.4% of global cropland today, to around 44% by 2100. The most severely affected regions in the next 30 to 90 years will likely be in southern Africa, the United States, southern Europe and Southeast Asia, says the report. In Africa, the report predicts 35% of cropland will become unsuitable for cultivation in a 5°C world.
Risks to Human Support Systems
The report identifies severe risks related to adverse impacts on water availability, particularly in northern and eastern Africa, the Middle East, and South Asia. River basins like the Ganges and the Nile are particularly vulnerable. In Amazonia, forest fires could as much double by 2050. The world could lose several habitats and species with a 4°C warming.
Non-linear impacts
As global warming approaches and exceeds 2°C, there is a risk of triggering nonlinear tipping elements. Examples include the disintegration of the West Antarctic ice sheet leading to more rapid sea-level rise, or large-scale Amazon dieback drastically affecting ecosystems, rivers, agriculture, energy production, and livelihoods. This would further add to 21st-century global warming and impact entire continents.
The projected 4°C warming simply must not be allowed to occur - the heat must be turned down. Only early, cooperative, international actions can make that happen.

This is the streamlined, two-person watercraft that breaches and submerges just like the Orcinus orca after which it is designed. A pilot protected beneath its watertight 1/2"-thick acrylic canopy pushes and pulls twin control levers to articulate the whale's pectoral fins for rolls and stealthy dives. With a finger on the right lever's throttle trigger, steering is provided by dual foot pedals that control the vectored thrust of the craft's 255-hp supercharged Rotax axial flow engine, enabling realistic behaviors such as porpoising or skyhopping. It can hydroplane up to 50 mph over the water's surface and it can cruise up to 25 mph while submerged; its dorsal fin's integrated snorkel ensures air supply to the engine up to a depth of 5'. The cockpit's dashboard includes a speedometer, tachometer, engine and air pressure gauges, and an LCD that displays live video from the dorsal fin's built-in camera.

School Schedule:
RAIL is a program with
the Rochester Public Schools that is designed for students between the ages of
18-21, who have a moderate to severe cognitive disability that requires close
supervision and assistance. It is for students who have already had four years
of the high school experience and need to move to a more adult setting. RAIL is
for students who need an adult setting, yet still have transition goals and
objectives to complete. RAIL will help prepare students for community and
work environments. RAIL will offer students an accessible site in an
adult setting with moderate to intense support.
The mission of the RAIL Program is to prepare students to live meaningful and
productive lives by providing them with skills and knowledge necessary to make
an effective transition from school to adult life.
The rationale behind the RAIL proposal is that students in grades 9-12 have
very different needs than students who are ages 18-21. It is important
that students in grades 9-12 gain as much as they can while enjoying the
experience of being in high school. However, once a student reaches age
18, the focus of the student's program shifts to a more intense preparation for
adult life. Spending additional time at the high school is not effective
in preparing students for the real life experiences that they will have as an
adult. Students need to have a setting that will prepare them for adult
services. They need to have real life experiences that will help them
reach their transition goals.
RAIL provides a
community and life-based educational model, separate from the high school
setting. Program focus is on transition goals, individualized for each
student. Students develop and utilize supports in the community that will
be important for them in their adult lives. Opportunities are provided
for learning to be community based through the transition domains:
vocational, home living, community participation, recreation/leisure, and
post-secondary education.
Students have
opportunities to develop independent living skills such as:
The focus of the
RAIL program is on:
-skills for independent
-service learning
-job training
-sheltered to supported
-connections to adult
and community services
The staff at RAIL
provides specially designed instruction and practice to develop skills while
providing a safety net so that students learn from challenges they may
Rochester Public Schools will provide a means of transportation through
district buses, vans, or outside agency vehicles.
RAIL is designed to prepare students for the adulthood. We encourage
dress-casual attire. Clothing should be clean, free of holes, and
presentable for being in public places. Students should present a
positive appearance, as they will be in public frequently.
We have cafeteria
service at RAIL. If you want to use this, you are responsible for having
money in your account. Hot lunches are prepared at Mayo High school and
delivered to ESC. Students wanting hot lunch need to indicate this upon
check-in every day. If students are not at RAIL first thing in the morning and
want hot lunch, they are expected to call the main RAIL phone and inform staff.
Students also have the option of bringing lunches from home.
Refrigeration and microwaves are available. Students are encouraged to
label containers. There are vending machines available in the building
with limited snack and beverage options.
Are available for
students to keep belongings safe.
RAIL's curriculum will focus around the transition areas.
Home Living:
While some students continue to live with their parents and/or family members,
others may live away from their parents in group home settings. Home
living supporting agencies include Cardinal of Minnesota, Hiawatha Homes, REM,
Zumbro House and MSOCs.
RAIL staff maintains
contact with those providing support to students in their homes, so that
learned skills are transferred to their home living environment. School
staff visits the residential homes. Additionally, parents and residential
support staff visit RAIL. These visits improve communication between the
home and school, and enable great consistency to occur between environments in
teaching and reinforcing practical living skills. Adaptive materials used
at school can be duplicated for use in the home environment.
The home living domain
of transition includes a wide range of skill areas: self-care, food
preparation, cleaning, safety, health, clothing care and money
Students also get
experience preparing basic food items. An occupational therapist accesses
student skills and teaches them how to use adaptations to accommodate for
limitations in their skills or abilities.
Self-care and safety
issues emerge as students learn about expected weather conditions and dress
accordingly. Students need assistance completing self-care skills; these
including toileting, grooming, and dressing.
Students share
responsibility for keeping the classroom areas clean. They learn about
storing food properly in the refrigerator. Sharing responsibilities for
cleaning up common areas broadens their awareness for their adult
responsibilities of cleaning up after themselves at an option to work
lunchroom, as well as in their own homes.
The school district will
provide transportation to travel to and from RAIL to home and to access the
community. Some students may be eligible for ZIPS, the door-to-door
public transportation service. If a potentially eligible student has not
applied for this service, RAIL staff assists the student's guardian in
completing this process. Once students are eligible for the service, they
begin using it. This requires advanced planning, as trip requests must be
called in to a dispatcher a day before the ride is desired. RAIL staff
will assist the student in contacting the dispatcher.
Citizenship skills
increase as students become increasingly aware of their community. Trips
to grocery stores, the library, etc. allow the student the opportunity to
become familiar with what is available in their community. A vision for
RAIL is to provide weekly trips for the students to go on out into the
Students at RAIL will be provided with occupational awareness
activities. The vocational teacher along with the DCD-SP teacher
will create job experiences for the individual to try while at RAIL. The
main objective for these experiences will be for students to increase their one
task time and complete the task with more independence. A second
objective for students is teaching them how to handle their feelings and
emotions appropriately and develop social skills that are appropriate for the
work place/recreation/leisure program.
Students at RAIL will be provided with a variety of recreation/leisure
activities. A vision for RAIL is to make the students active participants
in their health. Students will have daily physical activities planned
into their schedule. At least one time per week, students will access
some community site to do a recreation/leisure activity. Examples of
recreation/leisure activities include: swimming at the Y, walking around Silver
Lake, bowling, going to a movie, going to the library, etc.
RAIL is a program for
students receiving special education services who have completed beneficial high school classes and demonstrate a continuing need for special
education services to develop independent living skills to be active
participants in their community. Through review of evaluation information
and IEP goal progress data, the student and IEP Team members develop an
awareness of skills that may need to be enriched or developed in order to
prepare the student for adult life.

Chilly Hermiston School Wing
HERMISTON, Ore. (AP) — The boiler that supplied heat for a wing of a Hermiston elementary school has failed. So students are studying with a little more clothing in rooms warmed by electric space heaters. An 8-year-old third-grader at Rocky Heights Elementary, Peyton Herman, told the East Oregonian the students are studying with their jackets and gloves on. The boiler developed a crack at the beginning of the year. A $60,000 replacement will take three to four weeks to arrive.

A significant turning point of World War II, the Battle of Britain ended when Germany's Luftwaffe failed to gain air superiority over the Royal Air Force despite months of targeting Britain's air bases, military posts and, ultimately, its civilian population. Britain's decisive victory saved the country from a ground invasion and possible occupation by German forces while proving that air power alone could be used to win a major battle.

Here it is! The first real look at the gold glitter collar (aside from my Instagram preview the other day). I'm excited about the gold. The color warms up any outfit, and looks awesome with leopard print mind you.
BUT THERE'S MORE! Aside from the silver and now gold, I am releasing a third color. What color you ask? Well, it's a secret! I'll be holding a Facebook contest soon to guess the third color. I will draw at random from the participants that guess the correct color and the lucky winner will receive a free collar in their choice of color! Excited? I am!
I'll be releasing the gold collars soon. Take a look!

Star Trek: The Video Game
Star Trek
Now that
Star Trek
is cool again, it gets the proper action videogame treatment. This title, simply called
Star Trek
- because that won't be confusing in the future - is set in J.J. Abrams's rebooted
Star Trek
universe. Paramount Pictures and Namco Bandai Games revealed today, along with the game's existence, that the game's chief villain will be the lizard-like Gorn.
Spoiler alert: Lizard poisons Spock.
To learn more, follow the jump.
Legendary Lizard-like "Gorn" Set to Battle Kirk and Spock in Ultimate Co-op Gaming Experience
Scheduled to Release in Early 2013
LOS ANGELES, CA (June 5, 2012) – Paramount Pictures and leading video game publisher and developer NAMCO BANDAI Games America Inc. today gave fans the first look at the key villain to be featured in the upcoming Star Trek™ video game inspired by J.J. Abrams'
Star Trek
(2009) film reboot. The announcement made at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), revealed that a legendary lizard-like race known in Trek lore as "The Gorn" will play the destructive and villainous role in the video game releasing in early 2013. The co-op game is based on a standalone storyline that continues the adventure of iconic characters Captain James T. Kirk and Mr. Spock as they work together to stop the Gorn, an enemy race bent on conquering the galaxy.
"The Gorn are among the most iconic villians in the Star Trek universe and their role in this game certainly lives up to that persona ," said Brian Miller, Senior Vice President at Paramount Pictures and lead game producer. "Kirk and Spock find themselves in an incredibly challenging amount of mayhem as they confront the Gorn throughout the game."
More than just lizard-skinned foes, the Gorn are a blood-thirsty race determined to conquer the galaxy. A true military dictatorship, the Gorn are made up of billions of self-sacrificing warriors across thousands of colonies, each focused on the conquest of alien races. By utilizing their chaos-causing infectious venom, the Gorn seed mayhem and destruction as they destroy populations and deplete planets of their resources.
"Great villains give our favorite characters a chance to become heroes in the process of attempting to eliminate a powerful threat, and Star Trek fans have been eagerly anticipating the moment when the antagonists of the game would be revealed," said Carlson Choi, VP of Marketing at NAMCO BANDAI Games America Inc. "This is one of those moments and we couldn't be more excited to give gamers a glimpse at the challenges that lie ahead for Kirk and Spock."
The Gorn range in size and abilities, infecting their foes with venom that can poison, cause hallucinations, and even kill. From the smaller infantry Gorn Rushers, to the larger Gorn Warriors and the massive Gorn Brutes, the Gorn provides a serious direct threat, while the wall-climbing Gorn females showcase the cunning for which this race is feared. Technologically capable and possessing the antithesis of Federation ideals, the Gorn pose a devastating threat to Starfleet, the Enterprise, and its crew.
With a storyline occurring after the events of J.J. Abram's 2009 Star Trek reboot, the
Star Trek
video game puts players in the shoes of seminal heroes Captain James T. Kirk and Mr. Spock, inviting them to work together to take on the ferocious Gorn in this epic action adventure. Built from the ground up as the ultimate co-op experience, players are set on a journey of immense proportions across unexplored planets and enemy battleships with the latest 23rd century weapons and gear. Kirk and Spock's complementary personalities result in the most fully realized and varied co-op experience for this console generation.
Under a license from CBS Consumer Products, the game is being developed by Ontario-based developer Digital Extremes (Bioshock 2, Unreal Tournament, Dark Sector, The Darkness II) with production being overseen by Paramount Pictures and a scheduled release in early 2013 for Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system and Windows PC.
Attendees of E3 at the Los Angeles Convention Center June 5-7 can see a live demonstration of the Star Trek game and take photos in the Enterprise captain's chair at the NAMCO BANDAI Games Booth # 1637 (located in the South Hall).

I decided to pay a little more attention to just a couple of projects instead of my usual rotation that doesn't get me any closer to a finish. Don't ask me how long it will last because I don't set rules for myself.
I was pretty conflicted about whether to do the one inch squares for the sashings as in the pattern or use just one fabric.

3.0si Sport Utility
Compare Dealer Clearance Prices and SAVE
2007 BMW X3 Review
Small SUV performs like a sedan for a steep price.
Reviewed by Automotive on
The 2007 BMW X3 sport utility vehicle (SUV) is a small crossover built on the 3 Series platform. This sport activity vehicle (SAV) is about serious performance and handling. The X3 is not for families needing comfort and diversions on long trips; it won't handle the rigors of off-roading, especially since it is not built on a truck platform. Call it the answer to the American wagon stigma; it gives far more cargo space than a sport sedan while actually handling like one.
The Range
Engines: 3.0-liter six-cylinder
Transmissions: Sportmatic automatic six-speed, six-speed manual
Models: BMW X3 3.0si
What's New
For 2007, the BMW X3 crossover SUV/ SAV has undergone its first significant update after four years of existence. All the models have been whittled down to just one trim, the X3 3.0si that uses a three-liter, inline six-cylinder engine. This year also sees changes to the front and rear exterior styling, along with new wheel designs and alterations to the interior, including a new three-spoke steering wheel, a new hood over the instrumentation, and revised leather and plastic materials. ""Brake Fade Compensation,"" ""Brake Drying,"" and ""Start-off Assistant"" technologies have been added to the stability control system.
The 2007 BMW X3 small crossover SUV/SAV comes in one trim called the 3.0si. Standard features include 17-inch alloy wheels, a panoramic moonroof, automatic headlights, and heated mirrors. For the exterior, there is a Sport package that tightens the suspension, upgrades the wheels to 18 inches, and includes sport seats and an aerodynamic body kit for the body. Stand-alone options include 19-inch wheels and tires, and adaptive xenon headlights. Heated headlights and a ski bag can be added with the Cold Weather package.
For standard features, the cabin has automatic climate control, vinyl upholstery, full power accessories, keyless entry, power front seats, and a CD player with an auxiliary input. Buyers can add in the Cold Weather package that features heated front and rear seats. The Premium package throws in a universal garage door opener, upgraded interior lighting, leather upholstery, and lumbar supports for the front seats. Stand-alone gear for the interior includes park assist, an upgraded sound system, a navigation system, and new 16-way ""comfort"" seats.
The interior is well-designed with high-quality parts that make the cabin beautiful without being opulent or ostentatious. This is an interior geared towards serious driving, not entertainment for the family.
Performance & Handling
The only available power plant for the 2007 BMW X3 3.0si is a three-liter, inline-6 engine that produces 260 horsepower and 225 lb-ft of torque. That inline-6 can be mated to either a manual or Sportmatic automatic six-speed transmission, sending power to the X-Drive full-time all-wheel-drive system. Tests have shown that the manual-transmission X3 3.0si goes from zero to 60 mph in 6.9 seconds, while the Sportmatic makes the same run in 7.1 seconds.
Handling is especially sharp for a crossover. Aside from the Acura RDX, nothing in this segment comes close to the reflexes, amazing steering, and all-around curve swallowing abilities of the X3. This driving joy comes at the cost of a stiff ride and means the X3 is not the vehicle for hauling the family cross-country comfortably.
The X3 uses BMW's Intelligent Safety and Information System, a set of safety equipment that places redundant systems throughout the vehicle so even if some are damaged the various safety technologies aboard will function properly. The aforementioned safety gear includes front and rear side curtain airbags, two-stage airbags in front, front-seat side impact airbags, and an aggressive stability control system that now includes brake fade compensation, brake drying, brake standby, and start-off assistance. There are similar airbags to the front-seat side impact airbags that are optional for the rearward seats. Buyers will have to take this impressive list of features at face-value since there have been no government crash tests to give solid data on the overall safety of the X3.

Sioux Falls Man Sentenced for Title Fraud
A Sioux Falls man who pleaded guilty to a felony fraud charge has been given a suspended prison sentence and ordered to make restitution.
The State Department of Revenue says Patrick J. Ford, 47, pleaded guilty to making a false statement on an application for a certificate of motor vehicle title.
Ford was ordered to pay more than $14,000 in restitution to his victims, along with $504 in court costs.
The judge suspended a three-year sentence in the South Dakota State Penitentiary, on the conditions that Ford spend 60 days in jail, make restitution and be on supervised probation for three years.

Not only is the Mouse King too scary for some kids, but productions of the holiday classic often offer bland ballet and canned music.
1. "You see sugar plums. We see dollar signs."
Ah, "The Nutcracker." That celebration of all things Christmas, that choreographed ode to childhood, that visual spectacle replete with parties, pageants and even candy canes come to life. Oh, and yes: that show that pretty much ensures every ballet company can survive another season. As much as "The Nutcracker" may be an artful expression of holiday cheer, the two-act ballet is also a moneymaker in an industry that's otherwise heavily dependent on the largesse of deep-pocketed donors. As a result, almost all ballet companies — large and small, professional and student — put on an annual "Nutcracker," and the larger companies have been known to pump more than $1 million into their lavish productions. Generally, there's a good return on the investment. Dance/USA, a national service organization, estimates that "The Nutcracker" and other holiday performances account for nearly half of the annual ticket revenue its member artistic groups earn. "I think it's pretty safe to say virtually any midsize to major ballet company would not exist without 'The Nutcracker,'" says Roy Kaiser, artistic director emeritus of the Pennsylvania Ballet.
So, what's wrong with entertaining audiences and making money at the same time? Arguably nothing. But critics see a certain amount of greed when it comes to "The Nutcracker" — in terms of how some companies take shortcuts (at least after they make the initial production investment) or try to milk the title for every last dollar (can you say "'Nutcracker' gift shop"?). And the end result is often a holiday spectacle without a certain sparkle — the dollar signs trump the sugar plums, in other words. For this reason, Demetrius Klein, an acclaimed Florida-based choreographer and dance-school director, has resisted staging his own "Nutcracker": He'd rather put art ahead of commerce, he says. "I would be interested in how many dance companies would continue to do a "Nutcracker" if it wasn't this huge cash cow," he adds.
This story has been updated from a previous version.

Last month, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) released a set of documents that detail the Agency's signature investigative tool: the Safety Management Cycle (SMC). With an SMC tailored to each Behavior Analysis and Safety Improvement Category (BASIC), these resources provide carriers and drivers with a tool to help them evaluate their safety practices and identify and address safety and compliance issues.
There are two SMC resources dedicated to the Vehicle Maintenance BASIC: one that focuses on cargo securement and another focusing on inspection, repair, and maintenance. By examining the six Safety Management Processes that make up the SMC—from defining policies and procedures and clarifying roles and responsibilities to taking meaningful action—carriers and drivers can gain a better understanding of the potential gaps in current safety practices and identify ways to improve.
For example, who is responsible for informing a manager or mechanic if a safety-related problem is discovered or repairs are necessary before operating a vehicle? And, does the company have a system to ensure this communication happens and vehicles are repaired before being driven? Explore the Vehicle Maintenance SMC resources on the CSA Website's SMC webpage to make sure you and your company have addressed these and many other important questions to ensure every vehicle is safe before it hits the road. Also make sure you review the safety regulations at http://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/rules-regulations/administration/fmcsr/fmcsrguide.aspx.

Louisiana horse owners are being urged to get their animals vaccinated for rabies.
A horse in Jefferson Davis Parish was recently diagnosed with rabies, said Christine Navarre, LSU AgCenter Extension veterinarian.
In addition, a dog in Lafayette Parish was diagnosed with the disease this year. Two skunks were also found to have the disease, one in Lafayette Parish and the other in St. Martin Parish.
"Rabies is endemic in Louisiana," Navarre said.
Cat and dog owners are required to have their animals vaccinated by law.
"There are laws covering pets, but not livestock. However, the American Association of Equine Practitioners has added rabies vaccination as part of their core recommendations."
The cost is no more than other vaccinations.
Navarre said horses can contract the disease if bitten by an infected animal. Symptoms in a horse vary widely but include depression, refusal to eat, wobbly gait, lying down and appearing to have stomach pain.
"They don't always get the aggressive form, but they can," Navarre added.
The only way a positive confirmation of the disease can be determined is to euthanize the animal and conduct analysis of the brain tissue.
Rabies records compiled since 1986 by the LSU School of Veterinary Medicine and the state Office of Public Health show that skunks are the main carrier of the disease, followed by bats. Navarre said bats and skunks, if rabid, could easily bite a horse. Skunks with rabies lose their fear of larger animals and are active in daylight hours, she said.
In 2009, rabies was confirmed in five animals, including three bats in Calcasieu Parish, a bat in Vermilion Parish and a cat in Iberia Parish.
Navarre said rabies can be cyclical, often depending on weather conditions that affect wildlife.
The largest number of rabies statewide in one year was 82 confirmed cases in 1994, and the lowest was in 1998 with only three cases.

Fraternity suspends University of Michigan chapter over semi-nude photos
The national Pi Kappa Alpha office has indefinitely suspended its University of Michigan chapter after semi-nude photos of fraternity members were leaked online, gaining national attention.
The pictures, which show many Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity members clad in nothing but an American flag, and an accompanying email were sent to U-M sorority Alpha Phi prior to a joint party and eventually posted on brobible.com.
Justin A. Buck, the executive vice president of the fraternity, commonly known as PIKE, called the photos "inappropriate and offensive" and said the email made "claims which are in violation of fraternity standards."
"I am thoroughly disappointed in the choices ... and regret any issues this has caused the Michigan Greek Community," he said in statement. "Countless undergraduate and alumni members throughout our organization have contacted the office voicing their displeasure and the Fraternity is taking this situation very seriously. Pi Kappa Alpha does not condone this behavior, the image it portrays, or the claims which have been made by the Chapter."
Meanwhile, U-M told AnnArbor.com Monday that its Office of Greek Life is looking into the fraternity's behavior. The office, along with the school's Interfraternity Council, will consider whether further disciplinary actions are appropriate.
"We need to let the office of Greek life deal with it," U-M spokesman Rick Fitzgerald said Monday.
Added Buck: "The Fraternity's staff is committed to working with the university and the Interfraternity Council to implement appropriate punitive and educational conditions for the chapter. Failure to comply with this indefinite suspension or the subsequent conditions may result in additional action, including charter suspension."
According to the post on brobible.com, the fraternity's social chair said he didn't expect "every frat and sorority to get their hands" on the email.
The fraternity has blocked access to its Flickr account, where the images were posted. A student contact for the fraternity has not returned an email requesting comment.
The fraternity's email, posted on brobible.com, told sorority members if "you count yourself a red-blooded, God-fearing American girl who has a specific spring-time gym routine to accommodate her summer-time jean shorts, come to Pike this Friday night" for an America-themed party. The photos attached to the email showed men covered with nothing but a flag, keg or, in one image, a sandwich.

Fungal infections in seed are not normally a problem under the High Plains' dry weather conditions, but they can still occur, a Texas AgriLife Extension Service specialist said.
Both producers and grain elevator operators need to be vigilant in their watch for contaminated seed and make sure treatment occurs before the seed from one year's harvest is replanted the following year, said Dr. Ron French, AgriLife Extension plant pathologist.
French spoke at the Texas High Plains Grain Elevator Workshop in Amarillo. He told the elevator operators seed quality remains one of the top issues in stored grains as it relates to seedling diseases and future diseases wheat might face if the grain is used for planting.
There are several fungi that can attack cereal grains, he said. Some of these fungi can cause black point (kernel smudge), stinking smut (common bunt), and other secondary rots which can slowly degrade grain seed if improperly stored.
The seed can be infected with the fungi pre-harvest if the crop was subjected to stresses such as drought, insect damage, moisture, wind damage and other conditions that favor plant disease development, French said.
"Even if seed is properly cleaned, some affected seed might escape the cleaning process."
Seed containing certain fungi can suffer from damping-off, root or crown rot at the seedling stage, French said. Some fungi can become a problem later in the season if the seedling survived.
"Several fungi can cause such rots, but they also can be managed with seed treatments. If you've had a history of soil-borne pathogens in your field, such treatment might be warranted."
Fungi also may become a problem in storage facilities with a history of seed contamination and/or if the storage unit had not been properly cleaned, French said. The right temperature and moisture conditions must be maintained in grain elevators to prevent fungi from being active against the seeds.
"Under the right conditions, fungal spores can germinate and infect seed during storage, causing moldy or rotted seeds," he said. But generally there are few fungal problems seen at the elevator level.
In addition to affecting the performance of the crop, the fungi are a concern because some can produce toxins that affect both humans and animals, French said. Good seed quality and storage conditions are important in preventing such toxins from occurring at unacceptable thresholds.
"The healthier the crop, the less chance for it to be susceptible to fungal pathogens and their byproducts," he said. "If you are a producer who had problems with sooty molds, stinking smut, black point, kernel rots and other seed rots, you probably should use a fungicide seed treatment before using that seed again.
"If you are worried about your own seed quality, you also might want to look into the possibility of purchasing certified seed," French said.
