DETROIT -- An award-winning tourism brand has put the brakes on its link with the state's controversial right-to-work law.
Jim McBryde, the legislative liaison for the Michigan Economic Development Corp., told the House Tourism Committee on Thursday that the MEDC took no position on right to work.
"But the Legislature passed it, and it's now part of the new business climate in the state. It made sense to let people know about it," he said. "There was tremendous reaction on both sides, and any further advertising on that issue has been put on hold."
A Pure Michigan ad touting the right-to-work law ran in the Wall Street Journal and several site selection magazines in January, and was geared toward corporations looking for places to locate business. It cost the MEDC $144,000.
The outrage was immediate from Democrats and organized labor who vehemently oppose right to work. And hundreds of comments -- virtually all critical -- appeared on the Pure Michigan Facebook fan page. Most commenters said the controversial issue had no place on the same page as the beloved Pure Michigan campaign, which is associated with beautiful images of the state's pristine lakes, mountains and vistas.
"Everything you've done with tourism has been positive," state Rep. Charles Brunner, D-Bay City, said Thursday. "We have enough good stuff in Michigan, and those are the things that should be emphasized, and not something divisive that could hurt that brand."
Right-to-work legislation, which makes it illegal to require a financial contribution to a union as a condition of employment, passed in the final frenzied days of the Legislature's lame duck session in December. The issue attracted 12,000 protesters to the state Capitol the day it received final passage and was signed by Gov. Rick Snyder, just five days after it was introduced in the Legislature.
The right-to-work ad discussion came up in the House tourism committee meeting following a presentation on how successful the Pure Michigan campaign -- using the soothing voice of Michigan-born actor Tim Allen -- has been since it was introduced in 2006.
George Zimmerman, director of Travel Michigan, said that "2012 was a great year for the industry. It's our best year on record since 2004."
Although final data for 2012 will not be available until April, preliminary estimates show tourists spent $17.7 billion in the state -- almost all were leisure travelers from out of state.
The Pure Michigan budget is $25 million, and the state is gearing up for a $13 million cable television advertising buy that will run across the nation from March through June, officials said. Next year, Snyder has budgeted an additional $4 million for Pure Michigan so the tourism campaign can go international, tapping the expensive Toronto market, as well as Asia.
"The campaign really impacts attitudes about Michigan," Zimmerman said, noting that anything that boosts the state's image is a positive.

The Ubuntu Lightweight Minnow
In the sea of today's market it's easy to find whale sized operating systems that run poorly on slim hardware but my interest is with the minnows. One lightweight Linux distribution in particular that I tried recently is called Xubuntu. I've used DSL (Damn Small Linux), Fluxbuntu and Puppy, which all have their own strengths and are smaller but I found Xubuntu to be the perfect solution for me.
Xubuntu is a lightweight version of the popular Linux distribution, Ubuntu that can be installed on 1.5 GB of hard drive space and 192 MB of RAM. Xubuntu uses the XFCE desktop environment instead of Gnome. I like Gnome over all desktop environments so I was sketchy on how XFCE would preform but in the end XFCE was very user friendly and capable of doing what I needed. XFCE combined with Ubuntu power is the main reason Xubuntu is a great distro to choose or at least try out on your laptop, netbook or workstation that values efficiency.
While installation wizard was a bit long the distro was proven useful to me after the installation had finished and I found the Synaptic Package Manager. I recognized it from Ubuntu and was very pleased with the way it functions even though by default applications like GIMP, Firefox, Abiword, and Pidgin are right at your fingertips right out of the box.
Selecting a lightweight Linux distribution is about drawing a line. Where you draw the line depends on how many applications, graphics and desktop functionality your willing to sacrifice to get the speed you want or meet the size contains you're faced with. My line has been drawn between Xubuntu and Fluxbuntu because of the simple fact that it has the perfect amount of apps i want, environment I can tolerate, and community support that I'd be dead without.
March 13, 2009 at 4:46 am
For me xubuntu is also the best compromise between speed and usability. But lately I'm using crunchbang a distro that is based on ubuntu and uses openbox as a window manager. It's speedy it has a lot of apps already installed (+ multimedia support). And even on my xubuntu partition I've added openbox session that is similar to crunchbang. You may want to try it: http://crunchbanglinux.org/
March 15, 2009 at 2:57 am
crunchbang is very intersting!
I will try it soon.
right now I use command-line version of ubuntu with dwm as my window manager.

What we need in a fiscal cliff deal
When is a fiscal deal different from a Grand Bargain? When we talk about the solutions to two important and related challenges that we face — the fast approaching fiscal cliff and the even more devastating fiscal abyss that looms ahead due to our projected structural deficits.
The nation's media and our federal elected officials are currently focused on the fiscal cliff that, unless avoided through a negotiated deal by the end of the year, will trigger dramatic spending cuts and tax increases that could push the nation back into recession. If Congress and the White House send us over the cliff by failing to reach an agreement, it will be a shameful triumph of politics over the public interest for which our elected officials should be held accountable.
Story Continued Below
But avoiding the cliff must not be our only objective — not when we also face huge structural deficits and mounting debt burdens in coming years that threaten the future of our country and families. What we need to see over the next three weeks is a deal that averts the fiscal cliff and builds a bridge to achieving a fiscal Grand Bargain in 2013 that will help ensure we do not fall into the abyss.
Federal debt now exceeds $16 trillion, and based on full and honest accounting — which includes unfunded Medicare, Social Security and other retirement obligations — puts the overall debt burden at more than $71 trillion, and growing by about $100 billion a week! Put bluntly, we are mortgaging the future of our children and grandchildren at record rates. That is not only irresponsible, it is immoral.
What we need in order to address this fiscal abyss is a Grand Bargain that addresses the two main drivers of our structural deficits: unsustainable social insurance programs, especially health care programs, and a complex, unfair, uncompetitive and inadequate tax system. But a lame duck Congress cannot and should not tackle comprehensive tax and social insurance reforms. It will take dedicated effort in 2013 from the new Congress and its responsible committees, as well as a non-partisan public education initiative sanctioned by the White House, and private discussions with key bipartisan leaders to forge such a bargain.

Curse of Valley Street? Jimmy's on the James succumbs
Santa wasn't so good to Scottsville this year. After being open for less than a year, the upscale eatery Jimmy's on the James closed its doors for good on December 22. Owner James Norwood, who recently closed a New Balance/Birkenstock shoe outlet in Scottsville but still runs another in the Rio Hill shopping center, didn't return our phone calls (understandably).
But we did catch up with Jimmy's executive chef, Chad Ervin, who was busy at work cutting up the catch of the day at Seafood@West Main. For those of you not in the know, this little seafood counter in the Main Street Market, owned by Chris Arseneault, caters to someactually, most– of the biggest and best restaurants in town– OXO and Bizou among them.
So why was the charming historic town of Scottsville, which is supposedly undergoing a quiet renaissance, unable to keep Jimmy's afloat?
"Demographics," Ervin replies decisively. "People just weren't coming in." With fewer than 600 residents in the village itself, it's no wonder that customers were lacking. Norwood even added a full bar to try and quench (or, more likely, heighten) local thirst, but business continued to decline.
Unfortunately, Charlottesville's rapid growth doesn't seem to be rubbing off on its little neighbor 20 miles to the South. How many of us are actually willing to make the excruciatingly slow (especially if you end up behind a barely-moving sedan) drive down rural Route 20 for dinner? Not enough, it would seem.
And so, at least for now, Scottsville is back to being a one-restaurant town. The Italian-American bistro Caffè Bocce, located just across Valley Street from Jimmy's (also the former River Rat site), continues to do a solid business, thanks to a steady, mostly local clientele.
As for Ervin, who worked at Keswick and Oxo before Jimmy's, he says he's had his fill of central Virginia. After his ill-fated experience in sleepy Scottsville, he's ready to swim in a bigger, or at least a more densely populated, sea. He'll be taking his chef's knives and his talent to some urban area in the near future. But for now, he's happy learning everything there is to know about fish from the experts.
Before he went back to chopping heads and slicing sushi-grade tuna, Ervin offered one final theory about the failure of Jimmy's. "I honestly think that the building is cursed," he says of 515 Valley Street. Buyers beware. But here's something even more scary– or sad, rather: If the number of vacant buildings continues to grow, downtown Scottsville runs the risk of becoming a ghost town of sorts.
As for us, we'll keep our fingers crossed and pray for a miracle. Because the truth is, we'll do just about anything– yes, even drive many miles behind the slowest vehicle on earth– for a really great dining experience, be it fine or fun, local or international. Not even a curse could keep us away. What better excuse for extra garlic?

Been a long time
So it's been a long time since I posted here. Wow! Lots of things have happened. On October 13, I met with a surgeon in Reno to discuss weight loss surgery. My initial weigh in was 482.2. Yikes! After talking to him, I decided to go ahead and do it. So, I spent six months getting ready for it. On January 9, I started my pre-op diet. I weighed in at 508 lbs. Yikes! So, I started the pre-op diet and started losing weight. I was able to get all my pre-op requirements completed, and my surgery was scheduled for April 9, 2012. Woo too!! I went in and had my surgery on April 9, at 1:00 pm. with Dr. Kent Sasse as my surgeon. The surgery took about an hour and all I can tell you is that it is the best decision I have ever made. So far, I have lost 130 lbs. I am walking on the treadmill every day and doing toning exercises. Here's some photos of the process: I am so happy so far with my progress. I am more mobile and I am feeling great. Now a lot of people would and have said that I took the easy way out. Let me tell everyone here that this is NOT the easy way. There is nothing easy about this process, but I will say that it is worth it.

Chinese food doesn't make national headlines very often, so it was a pleasant surprise to see a Chinese takeout-related story all over the news today. On Thursday, President Obama made a surprise stop in San Francisco's Chinatown while in town for a fundraising event. He went to Great Eastern Restaurant, and after a round of hand-shaking, left with two big bags of takeout.
Ever since I started working on my book, I've been super curious about which Chinese dishes famous people like to eat. (Hey, it's research!) Luckily, KTSF 26, a San Francisco Chinese-language news station, appeared to have gotten a photo of Obama's dim sum order, which fellow food writer Michele Humes shared on Facebook. The President was apparently a big fan of pretty much all the dumplings, plus the egg tarts, deep-fried crab claws, and deep-fried shrimp puffs (I get those cravings too...)
And changed his mind about the sticky rice.

Alarm Signs and Decals
Security Alarm Signs and Decals
When it comes to residential and commercial security, the best offense is a great defense. That's why you need to stop potential intruders before they even reach your door. Posting signs—like "Beware of Dog", "Electronic Protection by NORCO ALARMS", and "No Trespassing"—is a surefire way to send criminals in the opposite direction.
The Ultimate Deterrent
Home alarm signs are designed to inform intruders and even neighbors that your home is protected, but you don't need an alarm system to benefit from these deterrents. Post warning signs at every entry point, and enjoy the added security and peace of mind. Security stickers are just as important, and should be placed on all doors and windows, including any on the second floor.
Sign Maintenance
Security signs should be bright, clear, and easy to read. These signs can be used in homes, businesses, apartment facilities and hotels. Signs should be weatherproof, and if a sign starts to fade or get worn out, you should replace it as quickly as possible. You can even purchase a security sign that comes with a stake, and if you do, it's recommended that you bury the sign post at least 18 inches into the ground. As a general rule of thumb, remember that the bigger the sign, the deeper the hole.
Shine a Light on Your Home Security
Keep in mind, while most burglaries happen during the day when homeowners are at work, a large number of break-ins happen at night. That's why we offer glow in the dark signs and lights to make your signs visible. For instance, we're pleased to offer the WINN Solar Yard Sign Light, which is sold exclusively at HomeSecurityStore.com and available at an incredible value. This solar light is designed to brighten up your security sign at night.
Don't Become a Victim
HomeSecurityStore.com has the signs and decals that you need to send criminals running for the hills. We sell individual Security Camera Surveillance Warning Signs and we also offer package deals, so you can easily add an extra dash of valuable security to every entry point. Browse the full selection, and while you're here, be sure also to explore our unparalleled selection of alarm and surveillance equipment. The world is an unpredictable place, but you don't have to become a victim. Stock up today on alarm signs and decals.

Chris Mathews - The Trader's Mindset Course
English + MP4 + PDF + MP3 + 1.41 GB
What I have to tell you today is extremely important. It doesn't matter whether you trade Forex, stocks, options, futures or metals. In fact you could be betting on horses or playing poker for that matter. It really doesn't make the slightest bit of difference....
"Your success or failure doesn't depend on your system!"
Let me tell you exactly why. Before I do that, make sure you enter your name and email in the box below, to make sure you get my FREE video series. If you are like most of us, you cannot afford not to watch them
n 2007, two hundred and ninety three selected Forex traders entered my "black ops" Forex training program. The recruits received specialized intensive training in technical analysis, highly profitable trading systems, trading money management and "ninja" trading tactical techniques. They had every tool at their disposal to literally outperform 99% of top traders. There was no reason for any single trader not to make extreme profits on their money. I'm talking 100%...500%...even 2000% returns.
Twelve months into their Forex training ops, I subjected all 293 traders to an intensive de-briefing - a probing reveal into their results. I looked at their triumphs and failures. I looked at their trade logs. I asked about their mental and psychological well-being. Above all, I looked at their trading account balances.
What I discovered shocked me to the core.
But why these frightening results ??
My "recruits" had received the most intensive training I had ever programmed. They were drilled daily on the skills of market-beating methods and systems. They had been arranged in support "platoons" to ensure they got the full benefit of group learning. They were placed into the line of fire together with me, and walked through countless live trades and market conditions.
"Battle Hardened Traders"
I've used the picture of military training for a very good reason. ...
Learning to beat the Forex market is just like the reality of training for battle. There is a gruelling process of skills training, drills, discipline and "battle hardening" which has to take place. Soldiers are mentally prepared for tough fighting conditions. Without their mental training they would quickly fail
Let's leave the military comparison and get right to the shocking revelation.
99% of Forex Traders know nothing about the critical trader's mind-set.
Not a single Forex trader survives the brutalities of the market place without intensive mind training, and the ability to master their own thoughts...psychology....emotions....call it what you want.
What I'm talking about is the single biggest reason why traders fail. Look at the figures from my black ops training program one more time: After only 12 months and out of 293 recruits:
Only 121 still had trading accounts
Only 27 had made a profit.
Only 14 had made more than a 50% return
Only 6 had doubled their accounts or better
I want you to know exactly why these figures are real, and why you will probably NOT be in the the group of 47 who made a profit. Let's look at this more closely.
"8 Factors which WILL DEFINITELY NOT secure
your success as a Forex trader"
Finding a profitable trading system
Trading with a reliable Forex broker
Studying Forex trading books
Participating in Forex forums
Buying Forex E-books (good or bad)
Using professional charting packages
Paying for Forex signal services (even profitable services)
Attending expensive Forex training seminars
Let me tell you a very quick story, which
almost cost a friend his life...
I have a very good friend, who happens to be one of the very best Forex traders there is. I mean, this dude is a serious hard-hitter.
He has designed over 10 highly profitable trading systems. He has worked for a large bank as a Forex trader. He's managed millions of dollars for private hedge funds, and today has a following of over 25,000 traders.
Let's rewind the years and travel back in time to 2003.
James was intelligent and experienced in Forex, and had the world at his feet. He was managing a large fund, and placing trades of over 30 million dollars at a time through his Forex broker. He was highly skilled, exceptionally profitable and well respected throughout the Forex community.
He had mastered almost everything related to Forex, and was doing well. Really well.
Until late 2004, when he lost everything through horrendous trade choices. Maybe you know how it feels.
What went wrong?
It wasn't because James wasn't clever, skilled or experienced. It wasn't because he hadn't studied Forex intensively throughout his early years as a trader. And it definitely wasn't because he had a dishonest broker or a poor charting package.
It was because he was missing the most important , powerful "x-factor" which almost every single trader misses. Even the big players.
What I'm going to reveal to you in this report, is probably the single most important information you will ever learn as a trader, and I'm going to show you how you can get your hands on it today - right now.
Calmly and coldly pull 10...20...50 pips from the market daily without any emotion
Know how to cut a losing trade with complete peace of mind
Learn how to let your winners run without getting out way to early
The simple steps to develop the trader's winning mind-set
Ruthlessly discipline yourself to eliminate emotional trades
Eliminate stress, fear and anxiety from your trading day, and actually enjoy your trading
Discover the secret which separates winning, wealthy traders from losing, poor traders
Get the edge over 98% of traders, even without changing your system, charts or broker.
"Why you need to ACT today"
Just like any other skill, the trader's mind-set is tough to learn by yourself. In fact, for many people it's impossible to get there without help. The longer you continue to trade without it, the less likely you are to ever develop it. It's a little bit like having a poor sporting technique. The longer you play the sport without your flaws being corrected, the more difficult it is to change as time goes on.
That's without even considering the money you may well lose while you are looking for the silver bullet in all the wrong places - trading systems, signals, e-books, forums and whatever else out there.

3D printing has been hailed as a solution to all manufacturing problems. Obviously that is exaggerated, but what is it good for, and when is traditional manufacturing still the better choice? In this course, you will learn how to separate the real promise of the technology from the hype, and understand the workflow for a consumer-level 3D printer. You will become familiar with some typical online databases of objects available to print, and get a bit of experience with free or open-source software for all stages of the process. This class will be primarily focused to introduce you to the tools of the open 3D printer ecosystem, but the principles will apply to consumer 3D printers in general.

The Columbia Police Department Crisis Negotiation Team (CNT) is comprised of a team commander (lieutenant), three team leaders (sergeants) and three teams with specific roles:
- Negotiations
- Intelligence
- Technical Support
The team leaders assist with leadership during training, member selection, and critical incidents when SWAT and CNT are activated. Once a negotiation is underway, one team handles the communication, while the second team provides intelligence and the third supports them both with technical problems/requests/etc.
Equipment Technicians are selected for their technical ability with phone systems, and surveillance equipment, and their ability to set up and maintain the team's area of operation, be it the dedicated vehicle or inside a structure These technicians can utilize the existing commercial phone system or set up their own service line using our own equipment.
Negotiators are selected from applicants who have demonstrated an ability to work well as a team, demonstrated interview and interrogation skills, and are confident they can make a difference and perform under stress. Recommendation from a current or past sergeant or captain is required.
All CNT members receive basic and advanced negotiation training. In addition to nationally accredited CNT training programs, members train every other month practicing their negotiation skills and functionality with other teams such as SWAT. After every negotiation (both real and in training) negotiators are debriefed and the operation evaluated to find ways of improving. At a minimum of twice a year, both CNT and SWAT train together in a simulated exercise. These exercises are designed to put stress on both teams and the problems encountered are very real even though it is a practice scenario.
In the early 70's police throughout the nation realized the need to train for the inevitability of high risk, non-typical events such as hostage takings or barricaded subjects intent on committing suicide. Two different areas of expertise were found to be lacking. Police weapons at the time usually consisted of a favorite hunting rifle. Also lacking was any type of psychological strategy for dealing with individuals who are either in emotional crisis or are intent on doing harm to themselves or others.
In 1976 two teams were established to deal with high risk incidents. The SWAT team was established to conduct the tactical side of these incidents and the Hostage Negotiation Team (HNT) was established to negotiate with the actual hostage taker or barricaded subject. In the 33 years since inception, both teams have evolved and many advancements have been made.
In 1998 the HNT changed their name to Crisis Negotiation Team. Actual hostage incidents are rare; however, individuals in emotional crisis are not. The team was frequently activated to deal with barricaded subjects who wanted to commit harm to themselves or wanted police officers to do it for them.

I did add my real name and identification to the signature.
If you want to change my username, that's fine with me.
Although, just to say that not everyone uses usernames on forums like this in order to hide their identity. Often the username is a statement of an interest or a joke or something.
Take mine: I've been a StarTrek fan since 1967. With a first name like mine, the choice of a username is a natural one. Or, for another example, my google email account is <[email protected]>, which is a statement about my academic commitments and a joke since most folk would consider "empirical humanist" to be an oxymoron...

Talk:Scientology cult Germany anti-Anonymous flyer 2008
From WikiLeaks
English Translation Attempt
I attempted to translate this document into English.
My native language is English and I'm still learning German, so please take it as a rough translation.
Regardless, I believe I have kept the ideas in tact.
Left pane:
What is Anonymous?
Under the name Anonymous is concealed a group of Computer Hackers, young people, and Extremists who hide their identities under masks
Before the subject of Scientology, Anonymous members disrupted thousands of users on Myspace, and were displayed on a critical program on Fox TV for paralyzing Internet sites and supplying bright flashing pictures on the site of an Epilepsy association, causing members to go into hysteric fits.
Why? Because it is fun for them.
In July 2007 the "Anonymous" following gave a public announcement with the explanation:
"We are the face of Chaos... We ruin the Lives of other People - simply because we can... Hundreds die in a plane crash. We laugh. The nation mourns over a school massacre, we laugh. We are the embodiment of humanity without remorse without care, without love, without any sense of morality." (See www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZ1qi9gz7UU[1])
Right pane:
Anonymous works with hate speech. They cry hate against Scientology church and its members. They work with persecution, slander, defamation, and with threatening means. They hide themselves under masks, false names, lying under the anonymity of the internet, and don't take responsibility for their actions.
Religions and freedom of opinion is a crucial, legally protected interest. They must ensure that the opinions of others are not destroyed.
But legally protected interests end there, where hate speech commences
Scientology is a modern religion, it has been active for more then 50 years for initiation of people. It is worldwide with around 10 Million members in 163 countries. Scientology is in the largest democratic nation completely accepted.
They form their own opinions for themselves!
Look for us on the internet under www.scientology.de[2] or information about our campaign under www.sag-nein-zu-drogen.de[3] and www.jugend-fuer-menschenrechte.de[4]
Your contribution will be attributed to 'anonymous'. I think they just didn't know what anonymus means..
Actually the anonymus flyer is just the unintended admitment of people, who dont know what anonymus means in the internetlanguage.
The Translation is correct!

Linebacker Lance Briggs on Friday morning lamented some painful transitions involving his "brothers" on the Chicago Bears defense.
Briggs conducted a wide-ranging interview on WGWG-FM 87.7 in which he endorsed defensive coordinator Mel Tucker more strongly than any Bears player has. He also was obviously pained by the possibility that the Bears could move on from pending free-agent cornerback Charles Tillman in the same manner it has from past cornerstones such as linebacker Brian Urlacher in 2013 and return specialist Devin Hester on Thursday.
"Right now, you know, I'm thinking about the whole situation as positive as I can," Briggs said on the radio. "I really truly hope that the organization makes the right decision regarding Peanut. Peanut, I can't say enough about what he has meant to the organization, the city and myself. I really can't imagine playing without him. They took—I mean, one of my brothers didn't get a chance to come back this past year. Now, hopefully the other one gets to stay. We'll see."
Bears general manager Phil Emery has repeatedly expressed his desire to get younger on defense, particularly after the Bears ranked last in the NFL in yards allowed per play last season and surrendered the most yards in franchise history. The marquee move of that process was not re-signing Urlacher, a future Hall of Famer, in 2013, which was Emery's second season in his role.
"It has been a transition period for the Bears, I think, ever since Emery came in," Briggs said. "I think there's a big push to get younger, and I understand that. But guys, players like Peanut and myself, are guys that regardless of our age we still play at a high level, at an elite level. If you're producing, if you can produce, in this game, then to me you hold value."
Tillman, 33, a two-time Pro Bowler, appears headed to the free-agent market when it opens on Tuesday at 3 p.m.
Briggs, 33, was downbeat about the organization's decision not to re-sign Hester, which it announced Thursday.
"It's sad, man," he said. "For a guy like me, and Peanut and Brian who have been here a long time, we've seen a lot of guys come and go, and I think we all know our time is coming, but it's sad when it does. And I hate to see a guy like Devin and what he has meant to this city and to the Bears' organization not brought back. He's a guy that I've become very close with from the day he got there, to over the years we've gotten closer and closer. It's hard with the bond that you build with all your brothers. It kind of just sucks."
Briggs said he agreed with radio host David Kaplan after Kaplan expressed his displeasure about how the Bears publicly handled the Hester decision. Kaplan opined the team should have hosted a media event at its headquarters with more fanfare instead of emailing a press release and tweeting its gratitude for Hester's service.
"I don't what the format is for when you have players like Brian and Devin and you're parting ways," Briggs said. "I envision it the same way you do. But at the end of the day, I'm just a football player. And when my time comes, I don't expect anything more or less than a tweet saying we're parting ways with Lance. It's not going to hurt my feelings or anything like that. I think that's more so for the respect of the people that have appreciated these players over the years, that say these guys these guys should be due more respect for what they've done and what they've meant to everyone."
As Briggs looked ahead, he expressed his determination to improve the defense. He supported Tucker as the qualified coordinator to lead that effort.
"I know that whatever comes out of Mel's mouth is sincere," he said. "I know that Mel knows what he's doing. I know that I can sit in a room and break down tape with Mel and know exactly what he means and know what he's trying to achieve. The calls that Mel made during the year were the right calls. Shoot, 98 percent of the calls that he made were the right calls. We just didn't execute. Guys didn't execute.
"It's frustrating, and I know how frustrated he is because I'm frustrated watching from the sideline. That's just the way it was. It was a terrible year for us defensively. It was the worst I've ever been part of in the Bears' history, but it was also a transition year (with) a lot of changes, a lot of young guys, a lot of injuries. There were a lot of things that were going on. Not to many any excuse, but this next year it must be better. It is what it is. We can't change anything from last year but we can change moving forward."

Low yields 'due to wary farmers, not climate change'
Low crop yields in Africa is not due to climate change but rather farmers failing to exploit opportunities in wetter years, says a Kenya-based scientist.
Peter Cooper, principal scientist for Eastern and Southern Africa at the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) in Nairobi, argues that much of African society, particularly politicians and policy-makers, wrongly blames climate change for harvest irregularities.
Africa's emphasis on adapting to climate change could be misplaced, he said, because "other drivers of change may well be responsible".
Cooper was commenting at an ICRICAT workshop on climate change in Africa held in Nairobi last month (17 September).
He said food insecurity is widespread in Sub-Saharan Africa because of low investment in rain-fed agriculture; farmers and governments regard large-scale spending on costly items such as fertilizers, which go to waste when there is no rain, as "too risky".
Although farming practices minimise economic damage during dry years, they fail to exploit opportunities during better years. "Farmers tend to over-estimate the negative impact of variable climates," he said.
Studies indicate that farmers' perception of climate change does not always tally with national meteorological data.
For example, seasonal temperatures in Kenya, Niger, Senegal and South Africa, and rainfall in Cameroon, Egypt, Ethiopia, Kenya and South Africa have not changed, Cooper pointed out.
The farmers' misperception affects crop productivity. An ICRISAT study revealed that farmers in Zimbabwe ignored recommendations to apply more nitrogen fertilizer to maize crops in case there was no rain.
Lawrance Mose, a research fellow at the Kenya Agricultural Research Institute, said fertilizer use in Kenya hasn't changed for over a decade.
Cooper believes that measures such as lowering the price of fertilizer would help farmers cope with climate variability.
Rain-fed agriculture provides 90 per cent of sub-Saharan Africa's food staples. But at its present rate of investment, the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation projects an almost fourfold increase in the annual deficit of cereals by 2025.

A View from the District with Andy McKiel:
Over the last couple of weeks, I've seen and heard the buzz everywhere – blog posts, tweets & Edmodo communities are chock-full of mentions of the upcoming summer holidays. While I, too, am counting down the days until the end of the 2010/2011 school year, my excitement isn't building quite as quickly – if anything, my envy is escalating!
From what I've read within the Blogosphere and the Twitterverse, it seems that most of my American counterparts will wrap up their school year at the end of this week, if they haven't already done so. To all of my friends & colleagues in the U.S. of A. who are ready to shift gears and enter into a much-deserved holiday… enjoy it to the fullest 🙂
Up here in Canada, our school year stretches out a little longer – our schools don't close their doors until June 30th. This means that we still have a solid month left to work with our students and there's a great deal of teaching and learning yet to take place in our classrooms and schools. Our teachers have several more weeks to dig a little deeper with some of the big ideas that have been taught, and our students will have many more opportunities to demonstrate their learning. And I would suspect that a lot of our teachers and students will want to incorporate Edmodo into their plans for the month of June.
Those of you who have been following my Monday 'View From The District' blog posts know that I'm in the process of implementing Edmodo within my school district. Many of the teachers within my district have discovered great ways to use Edmodo on their own, by sharing ideas with colleagues, and by joining several of the amazing Communities within Edmodo. But you and I both know that you can never offer an educator too many good ideas 😉
So, my Edmodo blog post this week is more a request than anything else. Before you launch into your summer holidays, whenever and wherever they may be, I'd like to ask a small favour of you. I'm hoping that many of you will be willing to share just one little Edmodo tidbit with me so that I can pass some of your great tips and tricks onto the teachers within my school district.
If you could take just one minute to answer the following question by leaving a comment, I'd really appreciate it – and so will a whole bunch of Canadian teachers who are still plugging away in their classrooms for a few more weeks…
If a teacher in your school asked you why they should start using Edmodo with their students, what would you say?
*General comments are great – specific examples are even better 🙂

I liked edmodo, it seemed to offer a pupil-friendly facebook. However the one main feature that was missing and that all of my children wanted, was the ability to message each other.
I think edmodo has massive potential, but this is a key feature that needs to be included before my students want to use it. They all asked me what the point was because they could contact each other through gmail, so why not edmodo?
Include a teacher/admin option to control it and you have an even better product.
Thanks for your input, Ian. With the ease of students messaging each other with all of the other readily-available tools that are out there, I didn't see this as being a necessary feature within the Edmodo environment. I agree that Edmodo has massive potential, and the teachers in my district have found so many creative ways of enabling their students to create, connect & collaborate within Edmodo.
I quite agree, Ian! I have only recently started using Edmodo but one of the things that I have heard several times from my students is the fact that they cannot message each other directly (unless there is a way and I just have not figured it out!)… I also agree about including a teacher/admin option to control it… Just today I had a very bright student asking what was to prevent him from going to the Edmodo site and pretending that he was a teacher to create his own Edmodo page… Hmmm… I wasn't really sure how to answer that one. I suspect that he will try it just to see if he can actually do it!
Out of curiosity, your blog reply seemed to hint that you were not using it anymore. Is this the case?
Hi Bmackenzie – so you have a student who wants to play the role of a teacher in Edmodo, eh? The only way that he would be able to join as a teacher is if he got his hands on a school code.
When teachers are entered into a district sub-domain, they use a school code that they've been assigned. When students join Edmodo, they do so with a group code that they've been given to join a specific group.
Thanks for weighing in on this post 🙂
They CAN message each other.. but it's an educational, public space so the messages are monitored by the teacher. If students are working together in a group, the teacher can create a group and then they can "talk" to each other within the small group, knowing the teacher is also present to make sure the conversation is appropriate.
Edmodo is a staple in my classroom. When the state blocked Edmodo for a couple of days, my class and I were devastated! Thankfully, the state listened to reason, and unblocked it! I post assignments, grade work, share projects, chat, share websites, allow my class to keep in touch with a sick student, you name it, I can do it with my students, and they love it! The most innovative thing I used it for was developing not one, but two sets of pen pals for my class. We chatted, shared Vokis, Glogs, letters, videos, news, and best wishes with two other classrooms in NJ and California. It was fun! Looking forward to next year when I will incorporate the parent component. I love Edmodo!
Thanks for the great tips, Lisa! I know many of the teachers that I work with will love the tips you've shared here…
I found Edmodo via @Daylynn on Twitter and have never looked back. Edmodo has simply changed the way I teach. This school year I have moved beyond the classroom for student teaching and learning with Edmodo. Now students get assignments, ask questions, collaborate and communicate outside the confines of the school and classsroom.
Students can post questions on the site and I receive a text message and am able to respond within minutes. This has given my students confidence in their abilities to work hard knowing they have me and their classmates to assist them.
Additionally, My students and I are connected to many other teachers, classes and communities through Edmodo that further assist and expand our education. Yes, I have learned so much more this year through Edmodo and I'm still learning to use it in many more ways next school year.
Good Luck!
Thanks for your feedback, Ron! It's amazing to see how the use of Edmodo really can transform teaching. Turning classroom walls into windows to the world has such a huge impact on the way we teach and the way our students learn…
There is sooooo much talk these days about student use, and misuse, of social media. One solution that is often repeated is for teachers to model positive uses of social media (and for that matter 21century skills in general!).
Edmodo provides a secure environment for students to use and devolp positive social networking skills.
Too bad I can not spell my own name correctly! If this was within edmodo, I could edit it! (another advantage to edmodo)
The incorrect spelling appears to be associates with my email, so, try a different email.
Hi Peter! I know that all teachers who are using Edmodo could learn a thing or two from you and I really appreciate you weighing in on this post 🙂
You alluded to the need to model positive uses of social media for our students and I agree that this is one of the most valuable aspects of using Edmodo in classrooms. Kids can post content, collaborate with each other, and connect with their teacher(s) in very meaningful ways.
We need our students to become familiar with all aspects of using social media, and helping them to 'learn the ropes' in a secure environment can encourage our students to express themselves more freely and with confidence.
My students love edmodo because they can keep up to date while on the move . They use the edmodo app on their iPods!
Hi Melinda,
You're right – the portability of accessing Edmodo on mobile devices is a really nice touch! I look forward to seeing even more features being incorporated into the Edmodo iTouch app in the near future 🙂
Thanks for the tip!
This year I have witnessed the amazing transformative powers of Edmodo. It has changed my teaching, my classroom, and my students (9-12 English LA). My students have built digital portfolios of their work throughout the year thus creating positive digital footprints. They have learned to investigate and share with each other, truly becoming a student PLN. I have been able to provide differentiated small group instruction so all students can get what they need. I have been able to be absent from class without being gone. Absent students have joined us live time in class when important discussions or presentations were taking place. My students get texts about assignemnts and other class information and so do I. We are a connected community. At the end of the year (last week) many of my 150+ students commented that they would miss Edmodo over the summer. I reassured them that our class wouldn't go away and that we could still post– especially about good books we were reading over the summer! Several lamented that next year just wouldn't be the same because they wouldn't have "an Edmodo teacher." I reassured them I would keep talking to teachers about it. Students crave social interaction and they are doing it anyway (texting, Facebook, etc.). Why not harness that desire and use it to help them learn and interact in socially positive ways?
Thanks so much for your reflective comment Hscott! I can't wait to share your comment with our teachers 🙂
There are so many benefits to using Edmodo with groups of students at any age & stage! I particularly like how you mentioned that the learning can continue over the summer – it doesn't have to stop at the end of the school year… I love the idea you suggested about using Edmodo to compare good reads throughout the summer!
Thanks for sharing & have a great summer 😉
I realise this post is quite old but I hope you still see this reply. The work you have done sounds amazing and I am keen to follow in your footsteps. However, I have 150+ students too, so I was wondering how you managed that volume effectively on Edmodo. Was it more efficient than paper and pen? Do you have any advice for keeping on top of things? Did certain activities work better than others?
Any comments you hae about dealing with large numbers would be very helpful. Thank you!
This is the second year I used Edmodo with my 4th graders. I started the year using our class group to teach them online safety, digital citizenship, and netiquette. I then created a group where other 4th grade classes in my school district joined us and we collaborated within the group. Finally I created a group that we shared with other classes around the country. We did our Identity Day Project with about 100 other students. We also Skyped with them to share our presentations. My students and others embedded their Glogsters into the Edmodo group and got feedback from each other.
Since some of my students wanted to use Edmodo over the summer, I created a summer reading group that has about 60 members from around the country. The kids post questions about books and favorite authors for others to answer and I am posting book suggestions for them. Several of us are now reading the same book so that we can chat about it on Edmodo. I Love It.
I love hearing about how the use of Edmodo has led teachers and students to other collaborative tools. The fact that kids can hone their skills in a secure environment, incorporate and embed content into these protected places, but then begin to branch out and connect in more transparent ways is very inspiring.
Thanks for sharing, plnaugle!
Edmodo se ha transformado para mí en una herramienta esencial para mis clases de Informática… precisamente por todas las buenas características que ya han comentado aquí!!
Yo en particular, quiero destacar otro de los tantos aspectos positivos de Edmodo: la maravillosa asistencia, que también tiene, para con los profesores de habla española.
Sigan así, siempre avanzando!! Felicitaciones!!

Hello very cool blog!! Guy .. Excellent .. Wonderful .. I will bookmark your website and take the feeds additionally?I am happy to search out a lot of useful information here within the publish, we need work out more strategies on this regard, thanks for sharing. . . . . .
Hello there
I am making a research project about edmodo and EFL reading abilities fostering, there is anybody here which can provide me a source where somebody has made a research about edmodo classroom in EFL ?
Thanks a lot
Martha Moreno
This tool can be used to further extend the important "home to school" connection. The ease of use, low time to master, and moderation capabilities are all pluses!
Hi, I am a student but I really want students to be able to create groups for projects OUT of school. I also want there to be direct chat between students (With a content filter of course) and then you will have the perfect product and i will be more willing to use it. Thank you for reading and have a nice day.
Dear programmer for Edmodo,
Our school uses Edmodo primarily for posting assignments. Is it possible to make it easier to use? When assignments are posted in one spot, they are not automatically posted on the calendar and vice versa! If I use my personal Samsung Calendar, whatever I post on one spot, automatically shows up as a month, week, day, & list option. Students need this option, b/c when teachers post, they post and it shows up as an email or on the calendar, but not as both. Students get organized in different ways, so therefore it is vital that it shows up in more ways than one. If we as teachers have to click on different spots to submit an assignment in different ways…we as teachers will forget to do all the "clicks"…we need just one spot: SEND! Please help! I am a Educational Support teacher and I work assisting students who struggle with organization…so please make Edmodo more user friendly. At this point in time, the students do not like Edmodo. Somehow it has to be made more interesting! SOS
Hi Ellie, thanks for the feedback. I'll be passing this on on to the Product Team. They are currently considering a way to make it more clear for students what Assignments they have coming due. Note that Assignments, when Posted to a Group, will be automatically added to the Planner. Students can also filter their Post stream to see only Assignments ( https://support.edmodo.com/home#entries/22075820-filter-posts-teacher ). Lastly, if Parents create Parent accounts, they can view what Assignments their students have coming do as well. Hope these suggestions help in the meantime. Thanks!

What is cervical cancer?
Cervical cancer starts in the cells lining the cervix -- the lower part of the uterus (womb). This is sometimes called theuterine cervix. The fetus grows in the body of the uterus (the upper part). The cervix connects the body of the uterus to the vagina (birth canal). The part of the cervix closest to the body of the uterus is called the endocervix. The part next to the vagina is the exocervix (or ectocervix). The 2 main types of cells covering the cervix are squamous cells (on the exocervix) and glandular cells (on the endocervix). These 2 cell types meet at a place called thetransformation zone. The exact location of the transformation zone changes as you age and if you give birth.
Most cervical cancers begin in the cells in the transformation zone. These cells do not suddenly change into cancer. Instead, the normal cells of the cervix first gradually develop pre-cancerous changes that turn into cancer. Doctors use several terms to describe these pre-cancerous changes, including cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN),squamous intraepithelial lesion (SIL), and dysplasia. These changes can be detected by the Pap test and treated to prevent cancer from developing (see "Can cervical cancer be prevented?").
Cervical cancers and cervical pre-cancers are classified by how they look under a microscope. The main types of cervical cancers are squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma.
Most (up to 9 out of 10) cervical cancers are squamous cell carcinomas. These cancers form from cells in the exocervix and the cancer cells have features of squamous cells under the microscope. Squamous cell carcinomas most often begin in the transformation zone (where the exocervix joins the endocervix).
Most of the other cervical cancers are adenocarcinomas. Adenocarcinomas are cancers that develop from gland cells. Cervical adenocarcinoma develops from the mucus-producing gland cells of the endocervix. Cervical adenocarcinomas seem to have become more common in the past 20 to 30 years.
Less commonly, cervical cancers have features of both squamous cell carcinomas and adenocarcinomas. These are called adenosquamous carcinomas or mixed carcinomas.
Although cervical cancers start from cells with pre-cancerous changes (pre-cancers), only some of the women with pre-cancers of the cervix will develop cancer. It usually takes several years for cervical pre-cancer to change to cervical cancer, but it can happen in less than a year. For most women, pre-cancerous cells will go away without any treatment. Still, in some women pre-cancers turn into true (invasive) cancers. Treating all cervical pre-cancers can prevent almost all true cervical cancers. Pre-cancerous changes and specific types of treatment for pre-cancers are discussed in our document Cervical Cancer Prevention and Early Detection.
Although almost all cervical cancers are either squamous cell carcinomas or adenocarcinomas, other types of cancer also can develop in the cervix. These other types, such as melanoma, sarcoma, and lymphoma, occur more commonly in other parts of the body.
This document only discusses the more common cervical cancer types, and not the rare types.

Last month was pretty crazy around the shop. We pushed out over 50 sets of RepRap Clonedel parts, and we sent molds out far and wide. We got a visit this weekend from the Electromagnate folks doing their Kickstarter-funded Documentary, and we got invited to 3D DC, a conference in the other Washington to do some dog and pony about 3D printing and Intellectual Property (check out their whitepaper). We got a rundown on the Open3DP Powder printer, and started doing some customer runs on ours ($35 for a takeout box sized print). Our Doctor-Intern Lisa has been making awesome progress on the Tilt Mill, and Sutton Beres Culler, our favorite artist-trio has been cranking out an amazing project for their upcoming New York trip.
We had our first EL Wire workshop, our first OpenSCAD workshop, and finished up our Arduino Outreach program at the Bush School. We hosted an amazing Makerbot/Mendel User Group Meetup, and started working on our own shop Clonedel. As always, I forget to mention things on the blog, and even though we regularly update our Flickr Stream, I always miss some of the awesome that goes on. If you've got a project that you want us to write about in depth, email firstname.lastname@example.com

With optimism resurfacing over the global economy and the perception that major tail risks in the United States, the euro zone, and China have been mostly squared away, what's left to worry about?
We posed the question to our favorite analysts, economists, and traders across Wall Street - and we were surprised at the number of people who declined to give an answer, telling us that they just couldn't really think of anything too worrying right now.
However, we still got plenty of responses.
While general developments in the world's largest economies seem encouraging, there may be several reasons to be concerned lurking just beneath the surface.
Let's go to the charts.
