Dr. Douglas Christensen
Nebraska Department of Education
301 Centennial Hall, South, 6th Floor
P.O. Box 94987
Lincoln, NE 68509-4987
Dear Commissioner Christensen:
I am writing in response to Nebraska's request to amend its State accountability plan under Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), as amended by the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB). The change you requested is aligned with NCLB and is now included in an amended State accountability plan that Nebraska submitted to the Department on July 22, 2005. The change is listed in an attachment to this letter. I am pleased to fully approve Nebraska's amended plan, which we will post on the Department's website.
If, over time, Nebraska makes additional changes to the accountability plan that has been approved, Nebraska must submit information about those changes to the Department for review and approval, as required by section 1111(f)(2) of Title I. Please note that approval of Nebraska's accountability plan is not also an approval of Nebraska's standards and assessment system. As Nebraska makes changes in its standards and assessments to meet requirements under NCLB, Nebraska must submit information about those changes to the Department for peer review through the standards and assessment process.
Please also be aware that approval of Nebraska's accountability plan for Title I, including the amendment approved above, does not indicate that the plan complies with Federal civil rights requirements, including Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act, and requirements under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act.
I am confident that Nebraska will continue to advance its efforts to hold schools and school districts accountable for the achievement of all students. I wish you well in your school improvement efforts. If I can be of any additional assistance to Nebraska in its efforts to implement other aspects of NCLB, please do not hesitate to call.
Henry L. Johnson

Amendment to the Nebraska Accountability Plan
This attachment is a summary of the amendment. For complete details, please refer to the Nebraska accountability plan on the Department's website: www.ed.gov/admins/lead/account/stateplans03/index.html.
Determining adequate yearly progress (Element 3.2)
Revision: Nebraska has removed the provision that accumulates data over three years to ensure that small schools and districts are accountable for all students. Schools or districts with no accountability groups containing a minimum of 30 will be held to the provisions of the State policies on accountability defined in Appendix A of the plan.

While not technically a cache evevnt, I plan on spending Labor Day Weekend (Fri. through Mon.) on Indian Pond on one of the islands. This pond is home to my newest cache hide; Indian Pond Underwater Railroad (GCQ8T) which by the way has not yet been found. There are also some other new caches that have been placed all along the way to the Greenville area (by others). I extend an invitation to anyone visiting the area and planning on finding my cache to look me up while visiting the pond, I will leave the co-ords to where I will be camping in the first cache of this multi.
p.s. I may have an adult beverage to share with the FTF.

Reviewed By Michael F (La Canada, CA) Reviewed for a 2008 Honda Element —7/5/2014 7:23 PM
The cover for the Element is of good quality. The only problem is that it is a bit large for the auto. I expected more of a custom fit. The materials used/thickness are superior. I would recommend this product, but not to be repetitious, don't expect that fine custom fit/look.

Canine housetraining, Part 3: Elimination training tips
Puppies develop substrate preferences for urination and defecation. This means, for example, if an animal is taught to urinate on newspaper, it will learn to seek out that substrate. Although it's tougher to teach a puppy to go outside to eliminate after it has learned to use newspaper, it's not impossible. Of course, it's preferable to teach the dog to go outside at the outset, but this may not meet the client's schedule.
Specific instructions like those that follow are helpful in encouraging clients to humanely housetrain their dogs.* Housetraining a dog is not complex, but people don't have an intuitive sense of puppy metabolisms and bladder size. This is one example where the technical and biological information veterinary professionals have to share can be priceless.
12 tips to train a puppy to urinate and defecate outside1. Every one to two hours, take the puppy outside. Puppies have high metabolisms—meaning they make a lot of urine quickly—and they have small bladders, which means they can't store all of that urine for long. A Labrador retriever puppy's full bladder is about the size of a lemon; a Yorkshire terrier puppy's bladder is the size of a small apricot or large grape.
2. When the puppy is out, let it sniff a bit. Don't just pull it away from what it's sniffing and keep walking. Sniffing is an important part of the elimination sequence in dogs.
3. If the puppy is just rampantly plowing ahead sniffing, consider stopping and walking quickly back and forth. This movement simulates normal dog elimination precursor behavior. The dog eventually will squat. Pay attention and praise it.
4. Use a fixed-length short lead so you can quickly encourage your puppy and respond to its cues. You can give the dog a small treat as it squats on a substrate you both like (e.g., grass). A reward may help encourage the association between squatting on that substrate and good experiences. Urinating or defecating is physiologically self-rewarding; you're rewarding the behavior exhibited in the location chosen.
5. Regardless of the frequency of your other walks, take the dog out 15 to 45 minutes after each time it eats. This is the time range for eating to stimulate intestines to move feces. Do this after all meals, as well as biscuits and rawhides, both of which will stimulate elimination.
6. Watch for behaviors (e.g., pacing, whining, circling, sudden stopping of another behavior) that tell you the dog may be ready to eliminate, and intercept the dog. If you pick up the puppy and it starts to leak, or the act of picking up the dog starts the leak, get a cloth and clamp it to the puppy's genitals. This will help to stimulate the dog to associate inhibition of elimination with those muscle groups. Again, praise the dog as it's squatting and immediately after it's finished. Don't punish leaks.
7. Take the puppy out immediately after any play and naps or if it awakens at night.
8. Prepare for the first walk of the day by having your street clothes on before you approach a crated puppy. Puppies that have waited through the night cannot wait long once you're awake.
9. Watch the puppy in between walks—puppies often get caught short, especially if they encounter and play with a water dish, or they become super focused or distracted. Any puppy that's moving around and suddenly stops needs to eliminate. You can make monitoring easier by putting a bell on the dog's collar. Any time the puppy's bell stops, take the dog outside immediately. Be sure to use a break-away/quick-release collar that comes undone if the dog hangs it on anything.
10. If you have an older dog that's housetrained, take it with you when you take the puppy out. Dogs learn extremely well by observing, and this may speed the process.
11. Dogs are generally faster to housetrain for defecation than urination. This may be due, in part, to the fact that puppies urinate more frequently than they defecate. For some clueless dogs, it can help to either take a urine-soaked sponge or a piece of feces to the area you'd prefer the puppy use. This may help it learn to associate the scent pattern with the area but cannot be used in the absence of the other steps noted above.
12. Don't forget to clean up feces. This allows dogs to be recognized as socially acceptable members of the community and may reduce transmission of parasites.

" Essential reading from Sean Trende about the new demographic reality at the polls. Based on his back-of-the-envelope math, there are actually two reasons why there were more minority voters as a share of the electorate this time. One, the reason everyone knows: There were more minority voters, period. Two, the reason no one guessed: If current projections hold, there were many, many fewer white voters at the polls this year than in 2008.
Had the same number of white voters cast ballots in 2012 as did in 2008, the 2012 electorate would have been about 74 percent white, 12 percent black, and 9 percent Latino (the same result occurs if you build in expectations for population growth among all these groups). In other words, the reason this electorate looked so different from the 2008 electorate is almost entirely attributable to white voters staying home. The other groups increased their vote, but by less than we would have expected simply from population growth.
Who were they? He looked at his home state of Ohio to try to guess:
Where things drop off are in the rural portions of Ohio, especially in the southeast. These represent areas still hard-hit by the recession. Unemployment is high there, and the area has seen almost no growth in recent years."

Three hours after renting a moped in Oak Bluffs Saturday morning, 30-year-old Katherine D. Miller tried to round a right curve on Beach Road near Harthaven, lost control of the moped and struck an oncoming car. She died of head injuries, becoming the fourth person killed in a moped accident on the Island since 1996.
"This was a horrific accident," said Dr. Alan Hirshberg, the director of emergency medical services at the Martha's Vineyard Hospital where the trauma team treated the victim. "She was extremely, critically injured with major injuries to the head and face."
Riding along on another moped with Mrs. Miller was her husband, Raleigh Miller, who witnessed the accident. The couple, from Alexandria, Va., were on the Island for the day and were apparently in the area to attend a wedding. They themselves had been married only 14 months ago.
The two were driving their mopeds toward Oak Bluffs shortly before 1 p.m., according to state police Sgt. Robert Moore. Witnesses saw Mrs. Miller lose control of her moped, her feet coming off the pedals just before she crossed the line into oncoming traffic. She collided with a 1988 Oldsmobile Delta 88 driven by Bethany Jeppsen, a 24-year-old from Alaska.
"She was launched from the moped and into the car windshield and landed on the pavement," said Sergeant Moore. He said there was nothing the driver of the car could do to avoid hitting Mrs. Miller. There is no shoulder, and wooden guard rails line the roadside of Beach Road along Farm Pond.
Mrs. Miller's moped was rented from The Lazy Pedaler, a business operated by DeBettencourt's Bike Shop on Circuit avenue extension, one of seven moped dealers in the town.
Last year, 66 moped riders ended up the emergency room being treated for accident injuries, according to a comprehensive survey started by Dr. Hirshberg.
This weekend's fatal accident comes just a few months after moped dealers agreed to implement a nine-point plan aimed at reducing the number of moped accidents. In exchange, moped opponents backed off proposed legislation that would require moped renters to have a motorcycle license.
Now, that deal appears to be in jeopardy. Sam Feldman, the founder of the Mopeds Are Dangerous committee, said yesterday he's not sure all moped dealers can be trusted to regulate themselves, to spend more time training renters and to hand out forms that spell out the risks of mopeds.
"A few of the dealers are responsible, but I watched last Tuesday to see who was giving out the inherent risk forms, and only half the shops are doing it," said Mr. Feldman. "They have to bear responsibility for the deaths and accidents of their renters. Unless they can self-regulate, we're going to go back to the legislature."
West Tisbury police chief Beth Toomey, who helped broker the agreement with moped dealers through a series of meetings, said yesterday she plans to sit down today with stakeholders - town officials, Dr. Hirshberg, moped dealers and members of Mr. Feldman's group.
"I'm very adamant that this is not an us against them situation. I don't want to lump all moped dealers into one bin," she said. "I stop moped riders all the time and ask them questions. Some dealers are very comprehensive about what they tell them. Other dealers are not."
The goal, she said, is to get them all doing the same thing. But it remains to be seen if coexistence can be achieved.
Oak Bluffs police chief Joseph Carter yesterday called mopeds unsafe, especially in the hands of people who lack experience riding a two-wheeled vehicle. "My suggestion is we either ban them or there should be an initiative to require they only be rented by people who possess a motorcycle license," he said.
While Chief Carter said he has not noticed any increase in the number of mopeds this year, one moped dealer, Fran Alarie 3rd, yesterday said that dealers, especially in Oak Bluffs, are renting many more mopeds to meet the demand of daytrippers coming off the cruise ships. On Fridays, close to thousand cruise passengers come ashore for the afternoon in Oak Bluffs.
Dr. Hirshberg has not finished tabulating up-to-date numbers for this year's survey of moped and bicycle accidents, but Mr. Alarie claimed that hospital officials told him the number of moped accidents has dropped slightly this year compared to figures last year.
Mr. Alarie has helped lead the other moped dealers to the negotiating table. He said people need to take into account the rate of accidents compared to the number of mopeds rented. Some 30,000 mopeds were rented on the Island in last year, he said.
The weekend's fatality, he hopes, will not ruin the efforts of both sides to keep working on the nine-point plan which includes a training video, new road signs and a special decal warning riders of risks.
"I'm not saying there won't be another fatality," said Mr. Alarie, "but if everybody stops talking, it won't solve anything." Dealers and their opponents need more time to sit down and talk, and more time to improve their operations, he said.
"I just took 17 people off mopeds this week," he said. "That would have been $1,000 to me, but they couldn't understand the concept of a throttle and brake."
Tonight, Oak Bluffs selectmen are expected to raise the issue of mopeds with leaders in search of ideas that would prevent more accidents. Selectman Richard Combra said his board would like to see dealers take more time training renters, but the problem is that they have almost no space for the training.
Yesterday morning at DeBettencourt's, four people were getting ready to rent two mopeds. The drivers did a quick lap around the parking lot by the harbor and then pulled back in to pick up their passengers. The employee, who asked not to be named, told the renters, "I don't know if you guys heard but someone just got killed riding a moped. If you feel at all uncomfortable, come back and we'll set you up with something else. There are buses here you can take and Jeeps you can rent."
As the renters sped off, the employee confided that this was his first summer on the Island, and he had no idea traffic here was so bad. "If I came here as a tourist," he said, "I'd take a bus."

LONDON — The headlines were shocking, the images sickening. The widespread rioting, looting and arson in early August here and in several other English cities recalled the work of two 20th century novels, William Golding's "Lord of the Flies" and Anthony Burgess' "A Clockwork Orange," come very much to full-blown, 21st century life.
Now, nearly two months later, those disturbing events seem long ago. After recently spending three days and nights in London walking its streets and taking the tube, the capital seems to have returned to normal.
And yet the aftereffects are still evident. News reports on the riots were frequent: an 11-year-old boy who participated in the rioting was sentenced to an 18-month sentence for looting; a headline, "Stash of weapons seized by police," flashed quickly across the Jumbotron screen at King's Cross railway station; Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg visited London's Tottenham neighborhood, where the riots began. Inquiries were being conducted into the origins of the riots even as London's wild-haired mayor, Boris Johnson, warned that rioters should not be "abandoned" by the system but rather "rehabilitated."
The media reports served as background chatter for those who wished to listen. It was just as easy to ignore them altogether. The buses and trains ran as usual, the iconic London taxicabs weaved in and out of clogged traffic, patrons packed into the Duchess Theatre on a weekday night to see American comedian Ruby Wax's hilarious show "Losing It"; bartenders served up pints of beer and ale; and tourists read dog-eared copies of "London A to Z" outside city-center hotels.
Unless prompted, no one seemed to want to discuss current events. When asked his response, Adam Ford, an Anglican priest and author of "The Art of Mindful Walking," referred to the riots as "an aberration." Indeed, to the unsuspecting eye the only obvious evidence that something terrible occurred was the jarring sight of two police officers on the street near Kensington Palace carrying automatic weapons.

Tablet Boom Drives Strong Demand For Texas Instruments DLP 1080p Resolution Data Projectors
Technology moves from home cinema market into education, business and beyond
Jan 29, 2013, 07:00 ET
LONDON, Jan. 29, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Due to the increasing adoption of iPads and tablets in the business and education sectors, Texas Instruments (TI) (NASDAQ: TXN) DLP® is experiencing a clear rise in demand for its chips which enable economical 1080p projectors, a trend supported by recent data from Futuresource Consulting, which predicts sales to exceed 300,000 in EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) and nearly 1 million worldwide by 2016.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130107/MM37662-b)
The high definition (HD) 1080p resolution chip, which has been available in projectors since 2006, offers a number of key benefits including:
- Economical solution – previously this resolution was limited to premium products and is now at attainable price points worldwide
- True black colour accuracy – with a 95 percent aperture ratio, each of the two million plus pixels provides users with the most accurate and superior image quality available
- Ultra-fast response time – the DLP chip has an unparalleled 16 microsecond response time, giving users precise, razor-sharp images
- Largest viewing experience – unlike other displays, such as a flat panel tv, this is capable of projecting images greater than 100" on any surface
- 3D-ready – plug and play 3D content from any source in any popular format using DLP-Link active eyewear that allows perfect synchronization
"The benefits of 1080p have long been known to the more consumer-focused industries such as sport, home cinema and gaming, but what we are really excited about this year is seeing the technology move into more diverse B2B sectors," said Roger Carver, Business Manager, DLP Front Projection. "In the classroom in particular we have already seen a number of significant developments in technology used over the past couple of years, ranging from the adoption of lamp-free to 3D and interactive technologies. We are committed to providing students the best image possible in the classroom."
"According to a study we ran in December, 14 percent of children would have asked for a tablet this Christmas – staggering proof of how much the technology is taking hold of society, both in terms of consumers, like these children, but also businesses," said Ben Davis, Futuresource Consulting. "The widespread adoption of tablet devices across all sectors and resulting increase in consumption of HD video content is driving a real demand for higher resolution projectors in classrooms and meeting rooms. As a result, we expect 1080p to be the next resolution to see strong growth in the EMEA B2B projector market."
Futuresource Consulting predicts that over the next three years, sales of tablets into institutional and corporate applications will more than double - moving from an estimated 4,764,971 in 2013 to a 10,879,721 by 2016. Alongside this growth, sales of 1080p projectors into the same sectors are also set to soar from 35,618 in 2013 to 105,614 in 2016.
DLP-enabled 1080p data projectors will be shipping in 2013 from leading DLP manufacturers. Select DLP customers will be on the trade show floor at Integrated Systems Europe on the 29 – 31 January.

MACEDON � The Wayne County District Attoney�s Office is investigating a head-on crash involving an off-duty school bus driver and more charges may be pending.
Julynn Criscuolo, 45, of Sodus, was arrested on Nov.1 and charged her with second-degree vehicular assault, driving while ability impaired by a combination of drugs and alcohol, failure to keep right and consumption of alcohol in a motor vehicle following a head-on crash on Route 350 on Oct. 30. Criscuolo was traveling south on Route 350 around 6:25 p.m. when she crossed into the northbound lane and struck a vehicle being driven by Candace C. Aldrich, 64, of Farmington, police said. Cricuolo was allegedly intoxicated due to a combination of alcohol and prescription pain medication.
Aldrich was seriously injured in the accident and transported to Strong Memorial Hospital where she is in satisfactory condition.
Wayne Central School District issued a statement today expressing their �deepest regrets for the injuries and trauma to Ms. Candace Aldrich and her family.� According to school officials, Criscuolo, a nine-year district employee, had been removed from work the day of the accident �by the Director of Transportation, who had a reasonable suspicion that she was under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol.� She was also transported home by a district employee, but not before she had completed the high school and middle school bus run that afternoon, district officials said.
A substitute driver replaced Criscuolo for the Ontario Elementary and Ontario Primary bus run.
Before being taken home, per U.S. Department of Transportation Regulations, Criscuolo was taken by the district to a certified testing facility where field tests were performed and the samples were sent to a laboratory for detailed analysis, the statement said. These test results are confidential.
�The School District officials dealt with this matter in accordance with District policy and procedure as an employee/personnel issue and did not involve law enforcement agencies on the afternoon of the incident,� the statement said. �This situation has brought to light that our policies and procedure need to be strengthened to deal more effectively with this type of situation especially in the area of law enforcement notifications.�
The district had begun civil service proceedings to terminate Criscuolo�s employment when she submitted a letter of resignation on Nov. 4, which was effective immediately, district officials said.
More charges may be pending against bus driver

April Fools' Tattoo Jokes
Today is April Fool's day. Keep that in mind before worrying about a YouTube shutdown or run out to buy the new "Google Nose." Naturally, tattoos have not escaped the madcapness.
In Australia, heavily tattooed rugby hottie Sandor Earl got club sponsor Huawei's logo on his right thigh, or that's what some thought, considering his extensive collection. The news made Twitter go atwitter, but then we all just became transfixed staring at his thighs and nothing else mattered in the world.
My favorite tattoo April Fool was the moodINQ: Programmable Tattoo System by ThinkGeek -- a scientific breakthrough in tattoo ink that lets you change your tattoos to fit your mood. If you read the comments to the April Fool post, you'll see that most people were more concerned with my repeated use of the word "tats" (also a joke), than the lack of commitment.
And there have been a host of others: the Tattoos4Toddlers hoax in 2003 -- a supposed tattoo shop created for kids -- got people's diapers in a bunch before they realized that some "wacky DJs" had concocted it for their morning show.
Even National Public Radio got in on the action in 1994, on their All Things Considered show, and reported that teenagers who got the logos of companies, like Pepsi, tattooed on their bodies would receive a lifetime 10% discount on that company's products.
Sadly, today, that isn't a joke.
Got a good one? Share it on our FB group page or Tweet at me.

There's so much wrong in how you addressed this... By generalising religions as somehow backward and evil as you don't aquire the humanity and understanding to accept them is silly. Stop building a hierachy, you're not in a poisition of any more importance in life to someone who believes in a god.
Seriously?! ..... Disgusting.
I accept random friend requests
Religion is meant to do the opposite of that, it's idiot's in religious communities that act like that.
To be honest, it gets annoying having people constantly telling you to stop having a religion, seriously, just leave me alone about it.
I don't think religion is the reason for why people discriminate against things/people. (I think I wrote this in an essay reply somewhere here on the forum, people discriminate because they don't like differences)
People will hate on things/people that are different to themselves.
There are homophobic atheists, there are racist atheists. These prejudices are not exclusive to religious people. I think it's unfair to say homophobia is caused by religion.
It's more correct to say that homophobic people use religion as a reason to say that homosexuality is wrong.
The way I hold you and the night just seems to fly
I said some really stupid shit. But since I can't delete, I'll just leave this here.

I can attack religion because these faiths state that sodomy (anal and oral) is wrong and shit in their holy books. Also the fact that they never back anything up unlike science which is tried and tested.
Until the middle east become secular, they all got major ass problems. Living in Europe and the US is much, much better for promiscuous people and homosexuals.
Mormon, Democrat. I am not a republican.
Your generlizations are sloppy. Mormons have the highest number of scientists per capita of any religion in the US, this INCLUDES ATHEISTS. Also you seem to confuse the Westboro Baptist Church with mainstream Christianity. Even the Pope agrees with evolution. Chrisitans do not regect science!
Also ever live in the middle east? I have an aquiantance who was a doctor, ended up in the middle east for 5 years to train doctors and whatnot. His thoughts were that it would be terrifying: car bombs, terrorism, murders, you know, what YOU think it's like. He came home and said, 'I would live there if I weren't American.' They are wonderful people of deep faith and devotion who are very concerned with the welfare of others.
You seem to have lumped 'everyone religious' with the terrorists and whackos. You're far far worse than they are.

Distractions to stir infighting, the Churches will never win and the people won't catch on before its too late..a globalist world a coming.
Bigots bully and violate people everywhere. It's what they do.

The stereotyping is strong with this one.
Not all Muslims wear C4 under their robes, and not all Christians attend Westboro.
Edit: Saw this recently, agree or disagree, it's interesting to think about.
Well the world certainly would be a better place without religions. Look at how many wars and how much fighting is caused by different beliefs. But even so i respect what other people believe in, and i know its only a minority of the people in a religion that actually causes harm.
If I don't have to do it, I won't. If I have to do it, I'll make it quick.

At least twice a month, I get pitched a story idea by someone who has a Kickstarter campaign for some type of beer-related project.
Most of the time, I don't write about them – if I couldn't see myself supporting it, I can't expect my readers to.
But this week I'm featuring a Kickstarter campaign by someone who didn't ask me to write about them. Tod Mott is a true legend in the brewing industry, and I want to drink his beers again, so I think his Kickstarter campaign is worth telling you about.
Mott wants to open the Tributary Brewing Company in Kittery, Maine, and he needs $60,000 to get him over the hump.
For those unfamiliar with Kickstarter, it's a website that hosts online campaigns with the goal of raising money, sometimes offering awards for donations. If the amount is not reached in 30 days, all of the money is returned.
Here's a little bit about the history of Mott. Mott's first professional brewing job was at the Harpoon Brewery in Boston. Back in 1992, he brewed Harpoon's Summer Ale, which was later renamed the Harpoon IPA.
It was the first IPA brewed on the East Coast, and today it is still the top-selling beer at Harpoon.
Mott has also brewed at some of the most well-respected brewpubs in Boston, the Commonwealth Brewing Company and Back Bay Brewing Company.
But, where Mott really earned his recognition was his time at the Portsmouth Brewery in New Hampshire. There, he brewed Kate the Great, a Russian Imperial Stout that became one of the most sought after beers ever brewed in the U.S., with thousands of people descending on Portsmouth on the one day a year it is available. (I went three years in a row).
So my point is, Mott can brew fantastic beers, and now that he's on the verge of producing beers for commercial sales again, I'm excited.
On his Kickstarter campaign site, Mott said he hopes to start brewing by the end of this month, and hopefully open at the end of June. On last week's SBL Podcast (I'm one of the hosts), Mott said he intends to brew a pale ale, an IPA, a porter, a saison and a gose to start, with a constantly changing lineup of beers.
Mott plans to use the Kickstarter money to buy several pieces of equipment that will help with brewing, but would not necessarily keep him from opening. The money would be used to buy a grain mill and auger system, a keg washer, kegs and a delivery truck, as well as other equipment.
Those who donate, depending on how much they contribute, could receive numerous rewards, such as a public thank you on Tributary's Facebook page, stickers, a growler cozy, glasses, T-shirts, and memberships to Tributary's Watershed Club which gives a person priority at special release events.
The top five donors who contribute $2,500 or more will get a four-year membership to the club, all of the items that every other level receives and a chance to brew for a day with Mott at the brewery.
"With your help, we can actually get this all done and our vision of Tributary Brewing Company will be a reality," Mott said on the page.
As of Tuesday at 11:45 a.m., Mott had raised $5,640 from 43 backers on Kickstarter. For more information, or to donate, visit https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1718452835/tributary-brewing-company-one-tributary-leads-to-a?ref=email

Yesterday, Diane sent me this little piece on Christopher Walken from the New Yorker:
Walken doesn't use a computer. "The Internet is strange," he said. "There's stuff on the Internet about me. I've tried to find out who puts it there. Something about how I go around to hot-dog festivals, that I'm a champion hot-dog eater." Then, there's the IMDB Web site, which says that Walken has a film "in production" called "Citizen Brando." "I have no idea what that is." He said he'd had a few encounters with Brando.
"Once, in the nineties, I was in Nova Scotia, doing a movie. It's my day off, and I'm reading a book and the phone rings and this woman says, 'Christopher Walken, are you going to be there in the next ten minutes? Marlon Brando would like to talk to you.' I thought, This is one of my friends pulling my leg. So I said, 'O.K.,' and I hung up. And the phone rang again, and the second he spoke you could tell it was him. And Brando said, 'I play the piano, you know.' And I said, 'No, I didn't know that.' And he said, 'And I dance.' He told me he wanted to put cameras in his house—he wanted to do a variety show out of his house. And I said, 'Well, what can I do for you?' He said, 'You did this picture "Pennies from Heaven," and I like the numbers in that. I want you to help me get in touch with the guy who did those.' I told him it was Danny Daniels, the choreographer. Brando never did it, I guess. I'd certainly watch. Wouldn't you?"
Perhaps my favorite Walken performance was in the movie version of Dennis Potter's "Pennies From Heaven"–and if you've never seen the original TV series with Bob Hoskins, do yourself a favor and track it down. Dig this, it is sure to kick start your day:

Penguins focusing on defense, not fireworks, as perfect march through March continues
PITTSBURGH – Look out, the NHL's highest scoring team is learning to play defense too.
The Pittsburgh Penguins have ripped off 13 straight wins, the second longest streak in franchise history. While they're getting the typical production from star center Sidney Crosby, the Penguins are developing into one of the league's top defensive teams.
Pittsburgh has allowed just nine goals in its last nine games, the lowest total in the NHL over that stretch. Defensesman Brooks Orpik says the team just got tired of trying to win every game in a shootout and knew it needed to tighten things up if it wanted to make a serious run at the Stanley Cup.
The Penguins will try to make it 14 in a row Thursday when they host Winnipeg.

Top Cars
Top 25 Cars Under $25,000
Seems like the cost of living just keeps getting higher these days, right? Fortunately, your car doesn't have to be part of that trend. Despite relentless improvements in automotive technology, it's still a cinch to find a great car under $25,000.
In fact, there were so many candidates for this list of top 25 cars under $25,000 that a lot of them didn't make the cut. We chose the 25 winners based not only on starting manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) but also on features and overall appeal. It's a remarkably diverse group, encompassing sports cars, minivans and pretty much everything in between. Let's see if one of these top 25 cars under $25,000 is your next set of wheels.
2013 Buick Encore ($24,200)
Just squeaking in under our $25,000 ceiling, the all-new Encore has essentially created a new category: the super-compact premium crossover SUV. Whatever you call it, the Encore is nimble and good on gas -- and true to Buick form, it has an attractive, hushed interior.
2013 Chevrolet Camaro ($23,345)
Who said being frugal can't be fun? The Camaro V6 Coupe boasts show-stopping looks and with over 300 horsepower under the hood, it means business on the road. Also, if you spring for the automatic transmission, the Camaro V6 gets 30 miles per gallon on the highway.

2013 Chevrolet Sonic Hatchback ($14,795)
A lot of hatchbacks at the $15,000 price point are of the penalty box variety, but the Sonic isn't one of them. Blessed with a refined ride and excellent high-speed stability, the Sonic drives like a more expensive car, and returning 40 mpg on long trips should be as easy as pie.
Find a Chevrolet Sonic for sale
2013 Dodge Dart ($15,995)
Like the Sonic, the Dart sedan is a small car that punches above its weight. But whereas the Sonic is a subcompact (i.e., it's tiny) the Dart's backseat can accommodate two adults with ease. What's more, the Dart's Alfa Romeo-derived suspension has a touch of Italian flair, and its optional 1.4-liter turbocharged engine delivers smiles and mpg in equal measure.
2013 Dodge Grand Caravan American Value Package ($19,995)
We're singling out the Grand Caravan AVP because it really is a remarkable value. You might think you would have crank windows and a wimpy engine for that price, but no: The AVP includes power accessories and a punchy 3.6-liter V6, just like every other Grand Caravan. If you need the versatility of a minivan, the Grand Caravan AVP wins the value contest in a landslide. Also look at the Dodge Journey American Value Package ($18,995) for a smaller and even cheaper 3-row solution.
Find a Dodge Grand Caravan for sale
If the MINI Cooper (see below) is too much of a stretch, or if you just prefer the Italian approach to motoring, it's hard to beat the FIAT 500 for fun on a budget. The standard 1.4-liter MultiAir engine is peppy enough, and it's one of the rare engines these days that actually lives up to its mpg rating -- an impressive 31 mpg city/40 mpg hwy with the manual shifter. Want more power? The awesome turbocharged Abarth is also under $25,000, and there's a mid-level 500 Turbo, as well.
2013 Ford Escape ($22,470)
The redesigned Escape is groundbreaking because Ford made it much more like a car this time. In fact, it drives almost exactly like the car it's based on, the excellent Focus, except the Escape sits higher for better visibility -- and it has a roomier backseat and more cargo space, too. Oh, and get this: There's an option that lets you wave your foot under the rear bumper to open the power lift gate automatically, though you might need to bring more than $25k for that.
2013 Ford Focus ($16,200)
Remember the old Ford Focus? Well, try to forget it, because the current model is night-and-day better. Based on a design from Ford of Europe, the Focus has the refined character of an entry-level luxury car; think Audi A3 without the pretentiousness. It also has great fuel economy. Alternatively, you could snag a turbocharged Focus ST ($23,700) and blow the doors off unsuspecting Volkswagen GTI models.
2013 Ford Fusion ($21,700)
If you need more backseat space than the Focus provides but don't want a high-riding crossover like the Escape, the Fusion hits the sweet spot. Styled after Aston Martin's super cars, the Fusion certainly makes an impression -- and it backs that up with athletic driving dynamics and 37 mpg hwy from the thrifty 1.6-liter turbo.
2013 Ford Mustang ($22,200)
A Mustang for under $25,000? You bet, and it's got 305 little mustangs under the hood to help get you where you need to go. Pretty amazing that you can get into a 305-hp American icon for this kind of money. We wouldn't even need any options. Just keep it simple and give us the base Mustang with a stick shift.
2013 Honda Accord ($21,680)
The redesigned Accord sedan shows us just how good Honda can be when they put their minds to it. Whereas the previous Accord wandered indifferently into large-sedan territory, the new one is taut and upscale-looking, with plenty of that energetic Honda character of old. Plus, the new CVT automatic delivers 27 mpg city/36 mpg hwy.
2013 Honda Fit ($15,425)
Everyone knows that the Fit is a fuel-sipper, but did you know that it still starts under $16,000 after all these years? Think about that. Sixteen grand for a car that legitimately seats five, can do all manner of space-efficient tricks with its Magic rear seat and has as much cargo capacity as many compact crossovers. Throw in Honda reliability and a fun-to-drive personality and it's clear why the popular Fit suits so many American lifestyles.
2013 Honda CR-Z ($19,975)
Folks don't typically think of hybrids as affordable, but the Honda CR-Z hybrid costs less than an Accord and it delivers fuel economy that should average in the mid-30s -- that's including both urban and rural driving. The CR-Z is also a surprisingly sporty little thing, and its assertive styling is meant to evoke the iconic CR-X of yesteryear. As long as you don't need a backseat, the CR-Z merits strong consideration.
2013 Mazda CX-5 ($20,995)
We were frankly amazed to discover how attainable the Mazda CX-5 crossover could be. The CX-5 model's interior is one of the nicest in its class, so you certainly won't feel like you cheaped out. And if you do get the entry-level model, it comes with a manual shifter, which means your highway fuel economy will be a whopping 35 mpg. From a crossover! Moreover, as you'd expect of a Mazda, the CX-5 is unusually entertaining from behind the wheel.
2013 Mazda5 ($19,940)
Mazda doesn't get enough credit for providing great value, and the Mazda5 is one of the best examples. Where else can you find a 3-row family hauler with sliding doors for under $20,000? Well, we mentioned the Dodge Grand Caravan American Value Package above, so the Mazda5 does have some competition. But we love this Mazda's in-between size -- it really is a mini van -- and it has a cool-looking interior and those sporty Mazda driving dynamics to boot.
2013 Mazda Miata MX5 ($23,720)
The Miata reminds us of the Mustang (see above) in the following sense: It's pretty neat that you can get a brand-new iconic sports car for less than 25 large. Here's our question, though: Why would you want anything more than what the base Miata MX5 provides? You get one of the best manual shifters in the world, a high-revving engine with satisfying punch and a classic wind-in-your-hair roadster experience, all for what you'd expect to pay for an average family sedan. This car is the rare indulgence that's easy to justify.
2013 Mini Cooper Hardtop ($19,700)
Checking in well under the $25,000 barrier, the Cooper Hardtop is one of those cars that's all things to all people. Want a rolling fashion accessory? The entry-level Mini fits right in on Rodeo Drive. Want a great city car? Few cars are better for tight urban maneuvers. How about a car that's fun on your favorite back road? The Cooper's racing heritage sees to it that you're taken care of there. And 40 mpg is easily within reach, so we can't even complain that the Mini requires premium fuel.
2013 Nissan Juke ($20,280)
The funkadelic Juke is obviously a departure from the norm stylistically, but it's also an abnormally good deal. Boasting spunky turbocharged power, available all-wheel drive and a kind of urban assault vehicle mix of dynamic handling and an elevated ride height, the Juke is the perfect affordable accessory for city dwellers with a taste for the unconventional.
2013 Scion tC ($18,725)
It's easy to forget that the Scion tC is actually made by Toyota, but when you remember that, you'll start to appreciate just how much this car brings to the table. The tC has style, plenty of standard features and a zesty 2.5-liter engine under the hood, so that's all good. But the clincher for us is Toyota's reputation for reliability, which elevates the tC from a mere object of desire to a genuinely sensible purchase.
2013 Subaru XV Crosstrek ($21,995)
Automakers have been dancing around the concept of high-riding compact cars for years now; after all, that's essentially what compact crossovers are. But for 2013, Subaru decided to dispense with the formalities and simply lift an Impreza hatchback about five inches into the air. That's the XV Crosstrek in a nutshell, and what it gives you is better visibility for the driver, along with better ground clearance for driving through snow drifts and such. The best part? Subaru only charges a modest premium for these uplifting changes.

2013 Toyota Camry ($22,235)
Tried and true, the best-selling Camry has made millions of Americans into Toyota fans, and for good reason. Fundamentally, you can't stop these cars from starting and driving -- it's just what they do, day after day, year after year. As an added bonus, the current Camry delivers tighter handling than ever before, along with relatively adventurous styling and all the latest technology inside. Oh, and it gets 35 mpg on the highway. Not too shabby for this kind of coin.
2013 Toyota RAV4 ($23,300)
We're not sure we would have put the previous RAV4 on this list. It was getting a little long in the tooth after almost a decade on the market. But the new RAV4 is a major step forward, and we feel it's a great match for many modern lifestyles. Limited to just two rows of seating this time, the RAV4 nonetheless retains its predecessor's big-time cargo capacity, so it's still a true utility vehicle. The dashboard, however, has been massively upgraded and boasts technology such as iPod and Bluetooth connectivity, along with a generally contemporary, upscale look. Think of it as a Honda CR-V with a little extra attitude.
2013 Volkswagen Golf ($18,095)
Here's another price that made us go, "Huh?!" The Golf hatchback is just such a wonderfully engineered car, from its high-quality interior materials to its sporty-yet-sophisticated ride. In fact, the American Golf continues to share its major components with the European model, whereas the American Jetta sedan has been downgraded in some ways to cut costs. It's remarkable that you can pick up a base 2-door Golf with its engaging manual shifter and 5-cylinder engine for this kind of money. The Golf is definitely one of our all-around favorites on this list.
Find a Volkswagen Golf for sale
2013 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen ($20,595)
Like the Golf, the Jetta SportWagen uses European blueprints, so it has a more sophisticated suspension and a higher-quality interior. The SportWagen also has the distinction of being one of the only true station wagons still on the market. There's a lot to be said for wagons. They handle better than crossovers due to their lower center of gravity, yet they can haul just as much thanks to that convenient hatchback cargo area. For superior fuel economy along with satisfying acceleration, check out the diesel SportWagen TDI variant. The same goes for the Golf, by the way.
Find a Volkwagen Jetta for sale
2013 Volkswagen Passat ($20,845)
The Passat is one of Volkswagen's Jetta-style American specials, but we're fully on board in this case. Volkswagen basically looked at what American drivers want and tried to build the perfect family sedan. We think they came pretty close with this stylish, comfortable and incredibly roomy model. Although you can get into a Passat for under $21,000, we really recommend springing for the diesel TDI version. The diesel torque effortlessly gets the Passat moving from a stop, and highway fuel economy of 50 mpg -- yes, 50 -- is not unheard of.
