Department of Water and Power head Ron Nichols, whose department is facing criticism for a faulty new billing system and two secretive nonprofits, is stepping down, Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti announced Thursday.
Nichols, who has served as head of the DWP since 2011, leaves amid renewed scrutiny of the department. His departure comes one day after top City Hall officials moved to subpoena documents held by two trusts that Nichols helps oversee.
Garcetti campaigned heavily on reforming the department during the recent mayoral race, an election that saw the DWP union back Garcetti's opponent, Wendy Greuel.
"I thank Ron for his service to our city as head of a department that serves every L.A. resident and business," Garcetti said in a statement. "I'm focused on continuing to reform the DWP to cut costs, improve customer service and increase transparency."
In a resignation letter, Nichols stated he was leaving for personal reasons and suggested his departure was in the works for many months. He pointed out that he had been hired for the DWP position by former Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa.
"I was brought in to lead DWP by the prior administration and I felt it important to stay on board afterward to provide time for the new administration's transition," wrote Nichols, who was appointed in 2010.
Reached Thursday morning, DWP spokesman Joseph Ramallo wouldn't comment on Nichols' departure, telling the Daily News: "His letter is the only comment."
Problems with the new DWP billing system, launched last fall, have led to customers receiving erroneous, expensive bills and resulted in lengthy telephone wait times.
Nichols' annual salary is about $340,000 a year, officials said.

The Israel Museum's permanent exhibition of archaeology is devoted to the ancient Land of Israel – home to peoples of different cultures and faiths for more than a million years. Presenting some 6,000 finds, mainly from archaeological excavations in Israel, the Bronfman Archaeology Wing tells a unique story arranged in seven chronological chapters, shedding light on momentous historical events, cultural achievements, and technological advances, while revealing the everyday lives of the peoples of the region from the Stone Age through the Ottoman Period. Thematic galleries devoted to the development of ancient Hebrew script, the story of coins, and the revolutionary art of glassmaking enhance the narrative exhibition, as do fascinating displays presenting the neighboring cultures of Egypt, the Ancient Near East, Greece, Italy, and the Islamic Near East, each of which left an indelible mark on the region.
I invite you to explore our website and enjoy a glimpse of some of the remarkable treasures on view in the exhibition. I hope that someday you may have the opportunity to visit our galleries in person.

Highlights on view include:
The oldest artwork in the world – a female figurine created almost a quarter of a million years ago, excavated at the site of Berekhat Ram in the Golan.
An impressive stone relief depicting a lion and lioness at play. Dating from the 14th century BCE, it is one of the few monumental stone-carvings from the Bronze Age and an outstanding example of Canaanite narrative art – story-telling in pictures.
An informal sketch of the Temple vessels – the menorah, the showbread table, and the incense altar – found incised into a thick layer of plaster on the wall of a house near the Temple Mount. Dating from the 1st century BCE, it was produced during the heyday of the Second Temple.
A 2nd-century CE statue of the Roman Emperor Hadrian, apparently used for ritual worship, found in a camp of the Sixth Legion in the Beth Shean Valley. It is one of the few extant bronze sculptures of an emperor from the Roman Period.
Reconstruction of the presbytery (bema) of a Byzantine church in the Holy Land, using original architectural elements from 17 different sites.
A rich hoard of some 1,000 copper-alloy objects found hidden in a metalsmith's workshop in Tiberias, dating from the 11th century.
A child's coffin of painted wood from the 3rd century BCE decorated with a scarab at the top, the protective figure of the sky Egyptian goddess Nut in the center, and deities from the realm of the dead below
A life-size, 5th-century BCE terracotta mask of Dionysos, the god of wine, from Boeotia, Greece, which probably served as a cult image of the god.
A mihrab from Isfahan, Iran, of the 17th century, richly decorated in colorful glazed and cut frit tiles with geometric and floral patterns and Qur'anic verses.

Summer is almost officially here for half the world and with it comes all types of summer activities like movies, concerts, and sports. Tickets for these events aren't always cheap (often they're unwieldy), but with a few tips you can save money on tickets of all types.
Finding cheap entertainment is all about knowing where to look, but it's also about patience. With movies it's not as much of a crapshoot, but sporting events and concerts require a bit more digging. Let's start with tracking down cheap movie tickets to get out of the sun and into some air conditioning.
Get the Cheapest Movie Tickets Possible
Traditionally the cheapest way to see a movie is to go in the early afternoon, but not all of us can hit up a cheap midweek matinee. Instead, it takes a little finagling and searching.
One simple trick you can do is to sign up for free advanced screenings of movies. These are usually a few days before the initial release and don't require anything of you but the ability to show up at the theater at a specific time.
If you prefer to choose your own movies and times it's time to start digging for discount codes. Ticket seller Fandango has a ton of deals going on this summer that can get you cheap tickets for online orders. If those deals aren't applicable anymore your other option is to search coupon sites like Fat Wallet or Retail Me Not for tickets. However you decide to do it you shouldn't have any trouble saving a little cash at the movie theater. Photo by Nicole Abalde.
Find Cheap Concert and Sports Tickets Regardless of When You Buy Them
Summer tickets for concerts or baseball games can get pricey really fast, but finding cheap tickets for both isn't as hard you'd think. You essentially have two different methods: purchase them right when they go on sale and the slightly riskier but usually cheaper trick of waiting to buy them second-hand. Let's start with how to get tickets cheap right when they go on sale.
Buy Direct from the Box Office to Avoid Service Fees
If you're unwilling to take the risk on waiting out cheap tickets for fear an event might sell out you can still usually score tickets for a reasonable price if you know where to go.
In a lot of cases you can skip the service charge imposed by the likes of Ticketmaster by heading directly to the venue to purchase them. Most larger music venues and stadiums have a box office where you can purchase tickets directly. This isn't always the case, but if it's an option to you it's a great way to avoid the ridiculous service charges that come when you order tickets online.
It also works when tickets are supposedly sold out. Oftentimes stadiums and venues will release extra tickets the day of the show or game and all you need to do is show up at the box office when they open. Photo by Ed Siasoco.
Buy Tickets Used from Real People for the Ultimate Deals
If you prefer to get a discount then it's time to look for individuals who might be selling tickets. As you get closer to the date of the event look on Craigslist for people selling tickets. Sports and concert tickets are no different than anything else on Craigslist, so be sure you know the tricks for not getting screwed when buying on Craigslist.
As CNET points out the benefit of buying tickets on Craigslist is that you're usually just buying them from fans who have a scheduling conflict and want to get rid of them as quickly as possible. Better still are season ticket holders who simply can't make a game and are often willing to part ways with tickets cheap. To save the most money wait until the last minute and buy tickets the day before or day of the event. Just make sure you set aside some time to meet up with the person selling them ahead of time. The same goes for amusement park tickets. If all else fails you can take a look at ticket brokers.
The Best Ways to Score Tickets from Brokers
As NPR recently pointed out the idea that concerts sell out is mostly just an illusion. Scalpers and ticket brokers grab tickets up faster than most fans do and if you're willing to risk the possibility of not going you can almost always get tickets cheap by waiting it out.
When tickets first go on sale they'll be expensive through ticket brokers, but as the event gets closer they'll drop in price provided the demand isn't too high. You can search a number of brokers at once with a site like Ticketwood that aggregates deals from the likes of StubHub, RazorGator, and Ticketsnow. While you'll often be able to find cheap tickets close to the event date from these sites one thing to keep in mind is that many still have a service charge. It's not usually as high as what Ticketmaster charges, but it's good to be aware of it. If you can hold out until the day before or day of an event you'll likely save money on tickets. It's not often not your best option, but if an event doesn't sell as well as it's supposed to you'll find cheap deals.
Summertime fun doesn't have to break the bank and provided you're willing to work for it a little you get tickets for all types of events cheap. Have your own tricks for the frugal entertainment shopper? Share them in the comments.

Congratulations! You are getting married to your beautiful partner and you have found the right person to help make your wedding ceremony an incredible celebration. A Beautiful Affair Of The Heart grew out of my passion and love for perfect wedding ceremonies. As an interfaith minister and wedding officiant, I have done over 600 wedding ceremonies over the last ten years. The demand for my services has grown exponentially by word of mouth long before I ever advertised my services. There is obviously a great need for caring ministers and officiants who go the extra mile and deliver an extraordinary ceremony. Couples want someone to officiate their wedding just like I would—warmly, expertly, professionally, lovingly, and joyously.
In order to respond to this legitimate yearning and to serve the community of wedding couples at the highest levels, I have searched for and chosen a very small group of the finest ministers to work with me. The ceremony is the central event in all the happiness and celebration that surrounds a wedding. Thus the minister needs to be a qualified professional who can provide an exceptional, joyous, personal, and memorable experience for everyone. In essence, I have already done for you the due diligence and background work that any couple should do when choosing a minister. Ministers are not "cookie cutter"—there are huge differences in style, presentation, warmth, joy, love, comfort, charisma, appearance and energy. I know you want the absolute best for the most important day of your life. Therefore, I have chosen to work with only those ministers whose work, personality and spirit are "a cut above."
We travel to any location for the wedding and will meet with you at your convenience. For busy couples, we can do everything through the internet and telephone. We unconditionally guarantee that you and your guests will absolutely love your wedding ceremony. Hundreds of testimonials, references and grateful letters from couples are available upon request. We will work with you personally to custom design the ceremony to your heart's desire. We give you options and suggestions but you have complete freedom to make your wedding what you want it to be. We are familiar with traditional and non-traditional wedding formats and your ceremony can be spiritual, religious, non-denominational or civil. The ceremony can take as long you want and you can include any poems, readings, music, cultural symbols or rituals that are meaningful to you. If you prefer, family and friends may participate in the ceremony as well.
We want you to know that we are available to help you in any way that we can in your marriage preparations. Feel free to call us anytime about anything. As partners, we will create an unforgettable wedding ceremony, the perfect expression of your "beautiful dream come true." For a FREE, PERSONALIZED WEDDING PACKAGE or more information, visit our web site and then call or email us today!

High FSH
Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) is exactly what it sounds like—a hormone that stimulates follicles (the sacs within your ovaries that contain eggs) to grow. High FSH can make getting pregnant difficult.
How Does High FSH Affect Fertility?
If you have an unusually high level of FSH at a young age, it may mean you have run out of follicles - it is often referred to as diminished ovarian reserve. Unfortunately, your body is not able to make more. If you do not have any follicles capable of developing into a mature egg, you are unlikely to be able to get pregnant.
If you have elevated FSH levels, are under 40 years old, have not menstruated for more than six months, or have irregular bleeding, your ovaries may not be working properly. When your ovaries fail at an earlier than expected age, it is called premature ovarian failure (POF). Since loss of ovarian function results in abnormally low levels of estrogen, very few women with premature ovarian failure are able to get pregnant naturally.
Unfortunately, women who have high FSH levels often respond poorly to fertility medication or not at all. They may also have a low chance of getting pregnant when they tryin vitro fertilization (IVF, which uses an egg fertilized by sperm outside the womb) to try to achieve pregnancy.
A fertility doctor can test your FSH levels and your ovarian reserve to help you understand your fertility. To find one near you, type in your zip code in the "Find a Doctor" or "Find a Clinic" search on our website.

High FSH level
Kim Griffiths replied on Permalink
Hello Sonia,
Hello Sonia,
High FSH is a sign of diminished ovarian reserve. It could mean you have few eggs left in your ovaries and that you may have greater IVF success using donor eggs. You should consult your fertility doctor to be sure.
Best of luck!

Hi Kelli,

Best of luck,

My fsh was at a 15 last year
Hi!! I am 38 years old. My fsh was at a 15 last year when i went to a fertility doc, she said my chances of conceiving naturally were extrememly low. She said that we could try IVF, but it would only have a sucess rate of 10% with my high fsh and endometriosis. I was extremely upset and basically took some time off from trying to look into adoption. We then decided to go to another fertility doc and get a second opinion and he gave us better odds, but we were also looking into egg donation. The day of our scheduled appointment we found out I am pregnant!! Naturally!! I am now 14 weeks preggo and baby is healthy with a strong heartbeat. Please dont take everything that these doctors say to be an EXACT science. I was so upset and thought it was over for us....GOD is the one that is ultimately in control....high fsh or not! Put your faith in and talk to him...he will lead you down the right path. Good luck to all!!

FSH was 16.6
wbgirl... I am also 38 and at last testing my FSH was 16.6. I have gotten pregnant naturally, and quickly, with three children one of whom is 17yrs, 3 1/2 yrs and an Angel baby whom we lost to chromosomal issues at 24 weeks. We have now been trying going on 20 months to get pregnant again with no luck at all. We don't have the money, nor are interested in, doing IVF. I am however doing acupuncture and we tried Clomid for 6 months. SO, I was just wondering if you got pregnant completely naturally? Were you taking herbs, acupuncture or anything else? We are only trying until the end of this year and will be done and know it just wasn't in God's plan. I have started exercising 5-6 days a week and eating better hoping that will help. Am just looking for any hope that we have a shot without powerful meds and or taking a bunch of herbs. I am currently taking one herb but it makes me want to throw up! I know other high FSH'ers have taken royal jelly, tomaxifen and wheatgrass shots. Thanks so much for sharing any information you have with me!

Massive movie fan, got all three movie Blades this order. The highlander blade is good but the hilt is a bit shoddy and the blade itself is dull but for the money it's a fair representation of the Ramerez sword. It's a different story completely for Riddicks Saber Claws these are pretty special and very sharp so be warned, there are nice details in the hand grips and are very screen accurate. The stand is pleasing too.
The Athame Dagger favoured by screen anti hero V is something else! The photo on the site does not do it justice, the wire wrap around the handle is a lot finer and more like the original and the hilt is more accurate than shown, possibly an updated version, the blade is not sharp and shines. Most pleased with the V daggers. Ordered late Sat night arrived Wednesday morning! Fantastic. Thankyou, be back soon

Good quality Highlander swords are out there, but obviously the price reflects that.

As a Christian, I am very offended that Attorney General Jeff Sessions invoked the Apostle Paul (Romans 13:1-2) to justify the current administration's policy to separate children from their parents who are seeking asylum in the United States from horrific circumstances in Central America.
Whether or not claims of refugee status are correct, invoking scripture to support a heinous policy should be a concern for all Christians. One biblical verse in the face of hundreds that address giving mercy, justice, and grace is an egregious case of "proof-texting" and ultimately discredits Christian ideals and the teaching of Christ himself.
To be exact, the verse (correctly cited by Sessions) does not address the enforcing of laws, but rather, the Christian's duty to obey laws. But if Sessions wants to quote scripture, allow me to quote Acts 5:29, when Peter and the apostles responded to a Sanhedrin command (Jewish authorities empowered to govern Jews and Jewish custom by the Roman government) to stop teaching in the name of Jesus: "We ought to obey God rather than men." This scripture argues against Sessions' contention and would require Christians to consider whether all the other verses that address love contravene the actions taken against families at our southern border.
The logic that AG Sessions used in misappropriating scripture would also suggest that the American colonists should not have opposed the British government while demanding their independence. It could also justify the continued enslavement of persons in the South prior to the Civil War. It would argue against allowing women to vote prior to the passage of 19th Amendment, and the continued use of Jim Crow laws to keep African-Americans from voting in the South prior to the passage of the Civil Rights Act in the 1960s.
And, while invoking logic, it is also worthwhile to note that the law that this administration claims to uphold in utilizing a policy of separating minors from their parents is not a law in and of itself. As Sarah Huckabee Sanders has stated, this action is "the product of a loophole in the laws that the Democrats have left them." A product of a loophole is not a law but rather, an interpretation of legal argument twice removed from the law, itself — and therefore could be stopped by executive order as President Trump has been more than happy to do in a host of other Democratic policies over the course of the past several months.
The most charitable explanation for this administration's implementation of this policy is hard-heartedness against all other considerations that Christians would otherwise adhere to.
If such hard-heartedness is what this administration wants to employ with regard to families seeking asylum, that's the business of politicians who stand by while this policy is being implemented, but please don't discredit our Lord, and our faith while doing so.
I understand that many Christians will have differing views on all sorts of policies that our government employs, but I would hope that Christians would be united about what our religion stands for and vocally, forthrightly, oppose people who misuse our faith and scripture.

Glaucoma describes a group of eye diseases that cause damage to the optic nerve. This degenerative eye disease is one of the leading causes of chronic blindness in the United States. Open-angle glaucoma is the most common form of glaucoma.
Open-angle glaucoma is caused by increased intraocular pressure. Within the eye, fluid is made and then drained from the eye. If either the fluid is made too quickly (not common) or drains too slowly, then the pressure of the eye can increase, leading to damage to the optic nerve.
This damage to the optic nerve can lead to a decrease in peripheral vision and may eventually cause blindness.
Risk Factors
The risk of glaucoma increases with age. Glaucoma is more common in African American and Hispanic people. Other factors that may increase your chance of getting glaucoma include:
- Family history of glaucoma
- Glaucoma in one eye—This increases the risk of developing glaucoma in the other eye.
- Increased intraocular pressure
- Diabetes
- High blood pressure
- Migraine
- Injury to the eye
- Certain eye abnormalities such as congenital defects
- Hypothyroidism
Many patients with open-angle glaucoma experience few or no symptoms until the disease has progressed to the very late stages. Visual symptoms may include:
- reduced close up vision
- Loss of peripheral vision (tunnel vision)
- Difficulty driving at night
- Blindness
- Rainbows or halos
Symptoms of more severe disease may include:
- Red eyes
- Headache
- Nausea or vomiting
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done.
Tests may include:
- Eye exam with pupil dilation
- Tonometry—a test to determine intraocular pressure
- Visual field test to determine vision loss
- Slit lamp examination—the use of a low-power microscope combined with a high-intensity light source, allows a narrow beam that can be focused to examine the front of the eye
- Photographs of the optic nerve
- Gonioscopy—to examine the outflow channels of the angle
- Analysis of the nerve fiber layer around the optic nerve
The goal of treatment is to reduce intraocular pressure. Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Options include:
Open-angle glaucoma can often be controlled well with proper treatment, and most patients who receive treatment will maintain their vision. Treatment options include:
- Medications in eye drop or pill form to reduce the amount of fluid the eye produces or increase the flow of fluid
- Laser treatment to increase the flow of fluid; may be used with medications
- Surgery to open a new outflow channel from the eye
- Minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) opens outflow channels by using stents, bypasses, or implants.
Open-angle glaucoma cannot be prevented. However, it is important to get regular eye exams to screen for glaucoma and other conditions that can affect your vision. Talk to your doctor about how often your eyes should be examined.

The Restored Cutty Sark
Having a spare Sunday I took the tube from Putney to Greenwich to make up my own mind, and found myself conflicted between delight and a hollow emptiness.
On the plus side there is much to enjoy, from the rigging gracing the sky, the blocks and spars wired up with ropes as they should be. The space under the hull is a amazing, full of light, the old tea clipper glowing in gold. The much debated main deck (composites not real wood) doesn't distract from the overall look.
But... it felt wrong.
The old, real Cutty Sark didn't have a lift forcing its way between decks. It didn't have a visitors trail leading you between exhibits, it didn't have fake tea chests, it didn't have sailing computer games, it didn't have a whopping great hole cut into its side:
But was that an option? Things were in a bad way before the fire, as can be seen by this unrestored beam:
There is that philosophical question if you replace something bit by bit at what point it is no longer the original, and that could have been a choice for the Cutty Sark. However that option still remains as someone out there could build their own tea clipper, using her as the design template.
While saddened by what she has become I feel that her current form has a chance to survive for future generations, who can then decide what they want to do with her. There is the question about whether raising the hull is the right solution structurally but I am not qualified to judge, though I understood there was a steel shell holding everything together taking the load.
The Cutty Sark does look good, and it is a great day out for families, which means more people will see her, learn about her and be impressed, being less conscious of the lack of sailability. She is part of Britain's maritime history, part of the National Maritime Museum.
The Cutty Sark is dead. Long live the Cutty Sark.

When I first heard of this, I assumed they lacked the funds for a proper restoration, so they'd come up with a plan to display the ship without making it seaworthy.
But it sounds like they've spent far more than a restoration would have cost and have destroyed a national treasure in the process. The more you read about this, the more administrative bungling is revealed. Even the fire seems to have been caused by mismanagement. What a tragedy.

The TV program about the restoration did not give confidence in the management team. They certainly had enough money - the budget was over £ 50 million.
The question I have was what the options were and which of them could have left her more of a seaworthy ship. It might be that they all would leave so little left that you might as well start again, and in the process a lot more would have be destroyed.
The real crime was probably insufficient attention earlier on to let her end up in the state where there weren't any good options left.

From just a few things available on the Interwebs, it paints as a classic picture of the preservationists on one side and commercial interests on the other, with local pols not up to the job in the middle. Mix in bean counters arguing for a revenue source rather than an ongoing revenue drain, and it seems to have ended the way such things usually do.
I'd guess there will be some books about all of this. Any yet?

Description50|50 Show Opens Sept 1 at Sanchez Art Center
Sanchez Art Center is pleased to present its ninth annual small works exhibit known as the 50|50 Show. The 64 participating artists were selected by juror Jack Fischer of Jack Fischer Gallery in San Francisco, from among 204 entrants, all from California. For this exhibit, the artworks may be small, but the challenge is great???to create 50 artworks within a span of 50 days. The result is an exhibit of over 3,000 small, affordable, wonderful works of art. For art lovers, this is definitely champagne art on a beer budget.
The 50|50 Show opens with a Preview Fundraiser from 6 to 8 pm on Friday, Sept 1. Proceeds from the Preview Fundraiser support Sanchez Art Center???s programs year-round, and are especially welcome as we celebrate our 20th year of creating community through art. The 50|50 Show is unique in that buyers take purchased artworks with them starting at 7:30 pm opening night. This means that attending the Preview is the only way to see this show in its entirety. Preview tickets are available for $25 at Eventbrite.com. Any tickets still available on opening night can be purchased for $30 at the door, but securing tickets in advance is highly recommended, as the event often sells out early. Following the Preview Fundraiser, the show is open to the public from 8 pm till the evening???s festivities end at 9:30 pm. Music for the reception will be provided by pianist Alex Balmaceda.
Come enjoy the incredible wealth of creativity and talent in the 50|50 Show. Each artist works in one medium, exploring a theme of her or his choice. Marvel at the unique folded paper and metal works created by Goran Konjevod, and the amazing microscopic organisms writ large by mixed media sculptor Cheryl Coon. See the magnificent ceramics from Andrea Ciak and charming animal totems by Kristina Ayala. Also among audience favorites are the lovely botanical sun prints (cyanotypes) by Jennifer Alpaugh.
Some of the more intriguing themes include ???Fail to learn from history, be doomed to repeat it,??? by sculptor Jessica Cadkin. Another is ???Caprice: A sudden change of mood or behavior??? from encaustic artist Katie Gutierrez. Betsy Kellas chose ???49 Ghosts??? as her theme, leaving the question of her 50th piece somewhat up in the air. The complete roster of artists, with links to their websites, can be found at SanchezArtCenter.org.
Our postcard and poster were again designed by Sanchez Art Center studio artist Janet Arline Barker to highlight the journey that these artists began on June 12. Don???t miss this exciting extravaganza of art and artists! Sanchez Art Center is located at 1220 Linda Mar Blvd in Pacifica, about a mile east of Highway 1. Following opening night, the galleries are open Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, 1???5 pm, and by appointment, through Oct 1.

For this guest post we welcome Judi Moreillon, author of several books including the recent ALA Editions title Coteaching Reading Comprehension Strategies in Elementary School Libraries: Maximizing Your Impact.
All across the country the new school year is getting underway. As school librarians consider their unique contributions to learning and teaching in their schools this year, they can make time to review and recommit to their role in reading.
The American Association of School Librarian's published a position statement on the School Librarian's Role in Reading that notes: "Guiding learners to become engaged and effective users of ideas and information and to appreciate literature requires that they develop as strategic readers who can comprehend, analyze, and evaluate text in both print and digital formats" (AASL 2007) More recently, AASL published an infographic based on the findings of a National Center for Literacy Education research study that opens with the charge for school librarians to strengthen their commitment to building collaborative cultures in their school learning communities.
So how can school librarians maximize their impact on student learning outcomes this school year?
In school districts and states where the Common Core State Standards are being rolled out with a strong emphasis on English Language Arts (ELA) or where other literacy initiatives are being promoted (see TEKS ELA-Reading Figure #19), improving students' reading comprehension proficiency is a top priority.
Research in the field of school librarianship has consistently shown that when school librarians collaborate with classroom teachers the results are evidenced in reading scores on standardized tests. Library Research Service has recently posted an infographic that illuminates the strong correlation between students' reading scores and the work of school librarians.
In my professional books for school librarians and classroom teachers, I provide background information on seven reading comprehension strategies that can be applied across content areas, with multiple text formats, and with different genres. These strategies are aligned with the AASL Standards for the 21st-Century Learner (see my alignment charts here and here). Each of my books, one written for educators serving at the elementary level and the other for those at the secondary level, provides twenty-one sample lesson plans that specify how educators can coteach in order to motivate, model, guide students' practice, and coassess the students' progress in applying these strategies. The ALA Editions Web Extras for these books include downloadable graphic organizers, sample student work, rubrics, and other assessment tools—in short, everything school librarians and classroom teachers need to implement these lessons on Monday morning (see below).
If you are a school librarian who is committed to helping students become effective users of ideas and information and producers of knowledge, then aligning reading comprehension strategies with information literacy is a win-win-win situation.
A win for students who can learn to independently analyze texts in all formats and content areas; a win for classroom teachers who have a partner with whom to teach these essential strategies; and a win for school librarians who can use their role in teaching reading comprehension to demonstrate their value as leaders on their school's literacy teams…
Check out these essential resources:

Thanks for the info. I posted same at the Ford Escape Yahoo Club. I knew they had Honda accessories...but the Ford site must be fairly new...Thanks again. partscheap.com NORT0
You may also want to repost your message in the Mazda Tribute discussion topic. Someone may be able to help you there. Keep in mind that the Mazda Tribute/Ford Escape are still very new, so the brushguards may not be available yet. However, you can most certainly count on them being available in the future. Even the Pontiac Aztek has an aftermarket brushguard afterall! A couple of places you may want to check out include http://www.manik.com , http://www.waag.com , and http://www.autotoys.com
Happy hunting!

I've never ordered from them, but they have some Escape-specific items such as the Gibson exhaust.0
Go to ...www.partscheap.com....click onto FORd and all escape accessories will come up. Genuine Ford Escape aceesories.Good prices...I just ordered the all weather floor mats and cargo mat.0
Reply received from WAAG 02/21/01 re: above subject. 'Thought I'd share this w/ those interested:
"We are currently working on the Mazda products. The front and rear guards, as well as, rear bumper guard are different from the Escape. The side tubes are the only cross over part and we carry those currently. I expect us to be close to completion within four weeks on everything but
the rear light guards."0
Just a heads up for those looking to use headlight and paint protection kits (i.e. x-pel). I received word from x-pel tech support that they are working on the application design for the Tribute and that the kit(s) should be ready within a month from now.0
jo_kcmo Posts: 1I just reserved a Ford Escape that the dealer already had on order. I was feeling pretty good about the deal until an after market rep came to try and sell us a warranty package on the paint finish, interior fabrics, rust protection, undercoating... He said that no, none of these things would be covered under the original warranty. If you bought at the time of purchase $850 for 5yrs...otherwise $1300. Is this BS? We've never had anyone try this in the past. Usually get undercoating thrown in (usually buy GM) Thanks...0
jo kcmo
All those after market items are a rip off! You have a clearcoat finish (paint), manufacturers rust protection & the fabric protection can be accomplished by 2 cans of scotchgard. Oh, the undercoating is nothing but a can of black paint.
Now an extended warranty on the parts of the car itself are another matter. This is also a negotiated item. Go to "carbuyingtips.com" for the complete low down. I don't have enough time to explain the whole process.
Good Luck!
currey Posts: 144I once saw a post, not sure where, for a low price Tribute accessory link from an Alabama Mazda dealer. Anyone know the link? They were all factory accessories, however, the prices were the best I've seen. Thanks in advance for any help.0
participant Posts: 29www.mazdastuff.com is a dealer in Texas that people were referred to on one of the topic sites. Maybe that's it?0

Any help anyone can give shall be much appreciated.
By the way, try this site out: http://www.escape-parts.com/. They seem to be new, and don't offer all that much. But I suspect that's because the Escape is very new as well.0
kayakr Posts: 24I'm looking for a source to buy an after market bug defector & vent visors for my Escape. Can anyone tell me what is a known reliable source & how the parts fit the Escape? Also, recommend a good full set (front/back/cargo) of rubber or all season mats. Thanks, AR0

Great Pix, here's another posted by one of the members over at Escape-Central.com. I found your edmunds board from some comments that one of your members made on the board over there. Anyone interested in more great Escape pictures, I'd recommend that you check it out over at
Hope I'm doing the picture thing right? I don't see a place for pic post instructions. Take care.0
Great, I guessed right about the picture thingy! If anyone has any info about modifications for Escapes or any other sites that would show modifications like the pictures at Escape-Central.com or have parts etc like escape-parts.co, please post them. Thanks again!
I purchased the bugflector II @ Autobarn for $49.99. Easy install (4 screws).
Which is better?
chipperrrrr Posts: 29I recently took a test drive in the new escape. I have recently tested the Highlander and the New Trailblazer. I was very impressed by the escape. the acceleration is fantastic and the cornering ability is the best of the three suv*s that I tested. This would probably be attributable to the fact that it is a smaller SUV than the other two, but its ability still stood out over the other two. The only problem lies in the lower body cladding. I can*t make myself purchase the vehicle with the cladding which I know will not weather over time. It may be good in preventing stone chips and the like. However, the vehicle never looks new due to the inability to fully clean the cladding. As I have seen, people inadvertently getting wax on the cladding are having problems already. Also, how do you think that the cladding will look two years from now. Horrible I predict. I can*t believe that Ford would go to the trouble to produce as nice a vehicle as this one and not offer any option but the plastic cladding. What is the problem with the engineering department at Ford. If I could get a fully painted model such as the ones on the Waag website, this vehicle would definitely be my choice. As for the Tribute, Its amazing that a year after marketing, Mazda still can*t get the product into the dealerships.0
firstname Posts: 45Does the trick of removing excess wax easily and cleanly!0
I have has cladding on several SUV's with no problems. It is easily cleaned with a damp rag of WD40 and then a coating of Armorall, STP Son of a Gun,Mother's Back to Black, or whatever you use for vinyl appearance.
The Mazda Tribute upper level model{LX} does have painted bottom cladding area. Mazda only can produce X amount of Tributes as to a greater X amount of Ford Escapes. They are both assembled at the same plant on the same assembly line and Ford controls the ratio. As to availability, I would assume that the Ford/Mazda team did not anticipate such a huge buyers response.Plus, ther were assembly line problems and several recalls and TSB's which held up production in the first several months.
I have had my 2001 Escape since Nov. 30th, 2000 and other than the fuel smell TSB fix, I have had great results. 24.6 highway,...20.4 city mpg., plenty of power, {200hp}and I can say, without hesitation, the best new vehicle I have ever owned for money.
As to wax on the cladding, if you use painters masking tape {takes at the most, five minutes to apply before waxing} you will not have wax on the cladding...plus if that is your major concern, it is easily removed with a damp rag of peanut oil.
Go get it NORT0
murocflyer Posts: 20Sounds like the ugly cladding is a major concern. I also share your thoughts about the lower body color. Its not very maintenance friendly and is hard to keep "new" looking. My advice to you is to get a Tribute if you like the Escape so much. Similar vehicle, a little more classy looking with painted body cladding.0
mxmisl Posts: 8I have a 2001 LX tribby and find the cladding no problem to clean and care for (I believe this cladding is painted).
I wash it w/ the same Zymol auto cleaner I use on the body, and I've waxed it a couple of times using Zymol wax. I have found the cladding to act no different than the body as far as maintenance.
Is there something I'm missing ?
The Escape has molded in body cladding & bumpers (unpainted), and keeping those clean and wax-free gets a bit harder than taking care of painted bumpers and cladding. As mentioned in a couple of Yahoo! clubs for the Escape/Tribute, "Back to Black" seems to do the trick with keeping the unpainted cladding & bumpers nice and dark(black).0

7th April 2005, 02:44 PM
My 5 1/2 month old Cav Paris has been throwing up all morning. She got dinner (1/2 cup Evo w/ spoonfull of canned) last night at about 9pm. She was fine last night. This morning I let her out to potty, then put her in her crate and was going to grab her piece of chicken for her breakfast, when I came back she had thrown up in her crate. It was her well-digested dinner. Of course I didn't give her any breakfast. I let her take a drink of water, and she threw that up too. Any ideas why she would be throwing her dinner up now rather then last night? I don't want to rush her to the vet unless it needs vet attention. She was only out to potty for 5 mins, and I didn't notice her eating anything out there. I know my boss has given her shepards Pepto-Bismo for upset tummies before. Should I do that? She only weighs 8 lbs.

Rarely does a literary classic transfer from page to stage as eloquently as Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice" does in the current production by the Annapolis Shakespeare Company at Bowie Playhouse.
Everything works beautifully, beginning with Jon Jory's engaging stage adaptation, which is faithful to Austen's prose and yet holds its relevance to contemporary audiences.
Sally Boyett-D'Angelo's smart direction of the dream cast she has assembled creates exciting theater, where every actor fully delivers.
Boyett-D'Angelo's simple staging allows actors to become familiar characters who establish an easy rapport with us. The simplicity is deceptive, though, actually requiring concentrated effort, as observed at a recent rehearsal of the 19th-century ballroom scene. The smooth execution of intricate dance steps required repeated practice before attaining natural elegance.
The minimalist set includes three doors, and both outdoor and indoor scenes are created as actors move their own chairs in and out for smooth, speedy scene shifts. The director choreographs lively scenes where couples dance at the center while simultaneous conversations are conducted, shifting from either side of the stage. Choreographed lighting shifts with perfection to focus attention on speakers.
The director's skills include expert pacing to move the plot along as actors' emotions run from romantic to comic. As in Austen's 1813 novel, the major focus is on the developing romance between Elizabeth Bennet and Darcy, starting when Elizabeth responds with prejudice toward Darcy's pride in his superior status. The birth of their rocky romance gives the novel its title.
Boyett-D'Angelo illuminates their developing passion through the couple's series of lingering, soulful gazes in pauses that signal budding passion, while they confront and sometimes construct impediments along the way. Their romance is filled with hurdles to be surmounted before they finally realize that they are indeed an ideal match.
The production is enlivened by instances of biting wit in the barbed comments of the arrogant privileged class, along with the ridiculous pandering of such characters as the clergyman Collins. In this production, Collins is played deliciously by Zach Brewster-Geisz, who makes his character much more humorous than odious.
Shared family humor is central. The master of the house, Mr. Bennet, delights in subtly ridiculing his matchmaking wife. Here, veteran actor Jim Reiter delivers every witticism gently and expertly.
As the frantic Mrs. Bennet, Carol Randolph is frequently hilarious. Uninhibited by the dictates of social decorum or subtlety, she freely creates uproarious comedy as the anxious mother of five daughters whose major goal is finding worthy suitors for each.
The five Bennet daughters are a diverse mix, from the giddy youngest two, Kitty (Liz Kinder) and Lydia (Solveig Moe), who are often rude, selfish and silly. Kinder and Solveig are properly annoying, especially in their tantrums, and Kinder is also convincing in a second role as Elizabeth's friend Charlotte Lucas, who eventually marries Mr. Collins.
The middle Bennet sister is studious Mary, who shares her strong opinions on a variety of subjects. As played by Stephanie Ramsey, Mary is an interesting mix of confidence and insecurity, somewhat detached from family problems.
Often embarrassed by her mother's zealous matchmaking is bright, independent Elizabeth. The eldest daughter, sweet-natured Jane (Alyssa Bouma) is the first to find romance when she meets Mr. Bingley (Grayson Owen), who is instantly smitten with her. Bouma charmingly conveys Jane's early attraction to Bingley, as well as her distress at his later departure.
Every actor is perfectly cast, with some competently playing two roles. Darcy's aunt — the haughty Lady Catherine — is skillfully played by Esther Schwarzbauer, who also plays a gentle housekeeper. The many sides of the mysterious George Wickham are well captured by Rob Morley.
The main character is Elizabeth, and Caitlin McWethy owns the role as she reveals every facet of this fascinating, independent woman. She delights in exchanging barbs with haughty Mr. Darcy and later rejects his tentative advances. Elizabeth's gradual comprehension of Darcy's strengths finally results in her expression of love in a breathtaking revelation.
Michael Ryan Neely is equally adept at revealing the many facets of the enigmatic Darcy — haughty and shy, exhibiting discomfort, confusion and attraction to Elizabeth. Through expressive eyes, Neely conveys his glowing fascination with Elizabeth, and in joyous words he finally gives voice to his rapturous love.
"Pride and Prejudice" continues at 3 p.m. Sunday, April 21, and at 8 p.m. Thursday through Saturday, with a matinee at 2 p.m. Saturday, at Bowie Playhouse in White Marsh Park. Tickets are $18 and $20 and may be purchased at AnnapolisShakespeare.org or by calling the box office at 410-415-3513 or 301-836-1620.

In a sea of hidden failures and over-promised ideas, Halo Belt makes Kickstarter a worthy source for creative projects again. Over the summer, we caught a glimpse of the LED belt designed to increase land commuters' visibility when traveling at night. By October's end, the Kickstarted project shipped the final product to its loyal supporters, with an international launch due in January. Well, is Halo Belt worth the hype?
Look and feel
The Halo Belt comes packaged in a tube container, a clever design that's sure to please retail showrooms with how portable yet presentable the product can be. Out of the tube, the belt is like your average fabric strap found on most backpacks. On the outer side of the belt is the flexible LED strip lining the majority of the belt length. The belt loops on the wearer with a plastic buckle, all designed to be weatherproof during your commute.
The packaging advises that the belt is "one size fits most," from a women's 0 to men's 38-inch waist. I'm a women's 0 and found myself forcing parts of the LED through the adjustment loop for Halo Belt to fit loosely on my hip. It's not a difficult fix, but I can't imagine jamming the LED strip through the plastic slots is good for prolonged use, especially if you continually readjust the size. Fortunately for Halo Belt, I'm likely in the minority of being too thin for the product.
Once around your waist, the Halo Belt manages to be visually noticeable without feeling noticeable. The strap is lightweight, looks cool while glowing in the dark, and the power button is easily accessible next to the plastic buckle. One tap turns the belt on at a flashing mode, an extra push puts it on strobe, and one more keeps the LED light on solid.
With an intuitive functionality, Halo Belt works like a charm. The light is soft on the eyes but bright enough to make you more visible on the street. Quick access to the button makes it easy for you to switch to flash mode to indicate turns or change of lanes, if you're an expert at one-handed bike riding. Halo Belt runs on two CR2025 batteries that last up to 20 consecutive hours or 75 non-consecutive. Assuming your nightly commute lasts no more than 45 minutes on average, you can get about three and a half months of power on a full set of batteries. If your commute takes less time, more power to you (and your belt).
Even with prolonged use, the LED light never gets too hot, and you can wear the belt in as many styles as you want: around your shoulder and arm like a messenger bag, high-waisted, loose on the hips. With four color choices, you can also use it to categorize teams during a night game of basketball in the park. We've even seen photos on Halo Belt's Facebook that show wearers utilizing the belt as a Halloween accessory. Take it to your next concert or club night and hit up strobe mode for an attention-grabbing look. What was made as a commuter's utility belt has clearly become a fashion item of its own caliber, and the possibilities make Halo Belt an exciting and fun accessory.
Bottom Line
Halo Belt first appeared on Kickstarter in June, completed its funding in August, and fell into our hands late October. Aspiring entrepreneurs should look at the Halo Belt team as a prime example of how to successfully promise, create, and deliver a product in a timely manner – all while keeping backers in the loop with monthly updates, tweets, and Facebook statuses. Halo Belt project starter Vincent Ng clearly had the sourcing and design logistics figured out. He was able to produce a simple and well-made item without losing his backers' faith or over-promising any features. In fact, he may have underestimated how versatile a seemingly basic strap of LED light could be. If only Halo Belt included an extra set of batteries… because now that daylight savings is in effect, I might just wear it all the darn time.
Halo Belt is available today for $85 in red, blue, green, and yellow.

Struts Ti is a simplified Model 2 framework for developing webapps which allows the developer better access to the underlying servlet/portlet environment. It serves a niche of web applications that don't want the additional complexity of server-side components and verbose configuration, yet want the structure and controller features of a modern web framework. Struts Ti builds on the directions of Struts 1.x, yet re-implements the framework to provide a clean slate for the next generation of Struts Ti. It aims to combine the simplicity of Ruby on Rails and NanoWeb, the refinement of WebWork 2, the tool-friendly authoring of Beehive, and the history of Struts 1.x.
The key word for Struts Ti is simplicity. Ideally, Struts Ti should approach Ruby on Rails levels of easy of use, yet scale up to large applications providing a smooth transition to JSF if desired.
The big announcement of Struts Ti is that it includes a merger between Struts and WebWork, such that Struts Ti will start with the migrated WebWork 2.2 codebase. This development as pushed back some of the annotation-driven next generation features as the first goal is now to create a stable core consisting of the WebWork codebase and a new Struts Action 1.x compatibility layer to assist in application migration.
Struts Ti is in the Struts sandbox for continued development and possible eventual acceptance as a Struts subproject, and is NOT an official Struts sub-project and as such, is not ready for operational use.
Phase 1
Phase 1 will consist of the WebWork 2.2 codebase, Struts Action 1.x compatibility layer, and perhaps Commons Chain integration.
- Original Proposal – The original WebWork merger proposal on the Struts dev mailing list
- Patrick's weblog entry – Weblog entry by Patrick Lightbody announcing the merger
- TSS thread – The Server Side thread on the merger
- WebWork merger FAQ – Questions and answers regarding the merger
- Quicktopic thread – Quick Topic thread discussing the merger
Phase 2
Phase 2 will address the original goals of Struts Ti to simply development through annotations and workflow.
