How to Use the Edutopia Embeddable Player
Edutopia offers an Embeddable Player that makes it easy to showcase any video we have produced -- anywhere on your own website!
We use YouTube to host our videos, so embedding an Edutopia video is as easy as using YouTube's embedding function.
First, check out our entire library of Edutopia videos to search for the video you'd like by title or keyword, or to browse the videos by grade level or core strategy. Click through to visit the page of the video you'd like to feature. Then, click the "Get Video" tab under the video player, which will show you a simple code to cut-and-paste into your own website.
If you want more features, or to change the size of the player, there's another tool available. Go to the very end of the video; the end-screen will look something like this:
Clicking on the "Share" button will give you a few options for sharing the video on various social networks, and there is also an "Embed" button. Clicking there will open up a tool within the player to generate embed code:
You may choose from a variety of pre-set sizes, or enter your own player size. Then, simply copy the raw chunk of code that's generated and paste to your own site to embed the video anywhere you like!
Please have a look at the Edutopia Embeddable Player Terms of Use we have posted on our web site. Our videos are for educational and non-commercial use only, and we do request that you include a prominent hot link back to Edutopia.org on any page where you embed one of our videos.
The player that is embedded on your site will be very similar to the ones you see on Edutopia, so you'll give your viewers access to the same sharing options, embedding tools, and links with more related resources back to Edutopia.org, as well as a way to subscribe to Edutopia's YouTube Channel.
For schools that have YouTube blocked, we encourage you to look into YouTube for Schools, a new free program from YouTube that allows member schools to filter out content they don't want, and limit student permissions, while still having access to white-listed educational videos on YouTube.
If you have any difficulties making this work, or questions of any kind, feel free to contact us at email@example.com for help.

Penn's Sustainable Purchasing Initiative seeks to increase the purchase of products with a reduced or minimal (ideally zero) environmental impact as compared to other similar products/services that serve the same purpose.
Purchasing Services supports the purchase of recycled content, environmentally preferable and bio-based products through the inclusion of environmentally friendly products in preferred contract supplier online product catalogs in the Penn Marketplace. Penn Marketplace-participating suppliers are encouraged to include products that promote environmental stewardship in their online product catalog and Penn faculty and staff members are empowered to select environmentally friendly products for their purchase requirements. Purchasing Services offers supplier specific environmentally friendly product catalogs in the Penn Marketplace.
Don't trash old office furniture or leftover promotional items... List them in BEN's Attic, a new website developed by Purchasing Services that allows Penn faculty and staff to exchange and purchase surplus University-owned property. All faculty and staff are able to browse the site to see if there are any items they may need. You must be a TAC (Transaction Authorization Card) holder (or a TAC holder's designee) in order to post items or make purchases. Items are listed by category and can be sold or given away at no cost. Users can also request an email notification of items by category as they become available.
Ben's Attic is strictly for repurposing of University owned property and can be accessed from the Purchasing Services website [1] or https://upenn.unl.edu [2].
If you have any questions regarding the usage of Ben's Attic or would like to set up an account, please email firstname.lastname@example.com [3].
All University-branded stationary is printed on 30 percent PCR chlorine-free paper, FSC and Green Seal certified, and the electricity used to manufacture this paper is offset with 100 percent Green-e certified wind certificates.
The University is committed to purchasing Energy Star qualified products such as printers, computers, and appliances. Penn Computing Green Information Technology (IT) program has established recommended guidelines for IT purchases that include Energy Star 4.0 compliant desktops, replacing CRT monitors with LCD monitors, and encouraging the purchase of small form factor or all-in-one desktops instead of mini-towers or towers.
Beyond its purchasing guidelines, Green IT [4] provides resources to help users throughout the University improve the sustainable aspects of their computing operations by reducing energy consumption and producing less e-waste.
Campus-wide preferred purchasing agreements were made with providers such as Quench water filters, which replaced bottled water in many offices across campus. The Quench system works by UV filtration, purifying and cooling municipal water. This eliminates the need for plastic bottles and bottled water, cutting down on costs and greatly reducing the University's carbon footprint.
Penn has partnered with Project 571 to offer a new clothing line for those who wish to wear the Red and Blue in an environmentally-friendly fashion. Available online [5] and at the Penn Bookstore [6], all Penn gear produced by Project 571 is made from Fair Trade certified organic cotton, bamboo, recycled polyester, and water based environmentally-friendly inks.

3-Legged Tale by Théâtre de l'OEil is a philosophical story without
words, a poetic reflection on the cycle of life, of time that passes and
that changes us, on life which is in constant rebirth, like grass that
grows again after a field fire or flowers that appear after the snow.
The story tells of a pilfering squirrel that discovers a camera on a tripod
in a trash pile in the woods. When a butterfly lands on the camera it
suddenly springs to life, venturing forth to explore and interact with the
new world around it.
Théâtre de l'OEil performed The Star Keeper at Sangamon Auditorium
in 2006.

Third driver Anthony Davidson took over the wheel of car number 4 with effect from this morning's free practice sessions, completing 27 laps of crucial circuit acclimatisation in the searing heat and humidity of the Sepang Circuit. Anthony went on to post the 15th fastest time in this afternoon's first qualifying session – a valiant performance considering the fact that he was the first driver out on the track and this was his first proper low fuel run in the B.A.R Honda 007.
Jenson Button experienced a frustrating morning after his engine had an oil leak as the third free practice session came to a close. He was forced to sit out the fourth session as the team worked furiously to fix the leak and avoid changing the engine, which would incur a 10-place penalty. His lack of valuable running meant that he was unable to complete any new tyre runs, which made his 9th place commendable if not a true reflection of the potential pace of car or driver.

Business Ideas in the News / September 2, 2009
New Blenz franchisee Frank Scott has joined his partner Sunny Bhayana to operate the 24 hour Blenz Coffee location. Friends and neighbours toasted the store's suave new store design with free signature beverages and treats at the high-traffic corner coffee shop. The celebration attracted a large crowd of people while club style top-40 music boomed from the DJ booth well into the evening.
"Blenz has successfully operated in this location for over ten years", stated George Moen, President of Blenz Coffee. "Our ability to rekindle the great vibe in this neighbourhood is perfectly timed with the completion of the Canada Line. We look forward to a positive response from local customers and we're confident they'll appreciate the effort made here to give them a great environment to come to."
Guests at the party were openly pleased with the look and feel of the store. Multi-level dropped ceilings, bamboo cabinetry, digital screens, lots of comfy leather seating, with various changes in equipment and service elements clearly indicate this store is more than a makeover – essentially, it's a brand new store.

Excellent school. Just pulled my son out of the public school in Palo Alto because they were just skipping over him to get the material covered. At Gideon Hausner each child is supported and given lots of attention and challenges to learn and master the curriculum. Nice ratio---2 teachers for 20 or so students. He also likes the jewish studies, hebrew, movement, art, p.e. and music program. He feels successful and capable of learning now.
I loved my nine years as a student at Gideon Hausner. Most of my teachers were exceptional: always reaching out to the students, clearly passionate about their work, and challenging the students to reach their full potentials. The science program was a particular highlight of my experience there; the labs and projects engaged me and inspired me to be curious about everything around me. Furthermore, despite my past complaints about the stress put on Jewish and Hebrew learning, I now feel fortunate to have grown up in a community where Jewish values were used throughout school. Finally, the small size of my grade allowed me to become a tightly knit family with my classmates and feel comfortable getting individual help from each of my teachers, although I didn't always enjoy the social dynamic what with having so few kids.
I love this school. It may be small, but it's awesome! I learn so much every day. Also, the seventh grade has a program where we work together to raise money and allocate it to several non-profit organization. I think that this is amazing. With this class, Hebrew class, and Jewish Studies, we learn so much about our religion and language. Aside from the Jewish part of Hausner, we (the students) have a great time in the other subjects. Science is especially awesome. We do so many hands-on projects and experiments, and don't worry if you are easily grossed out :-), there are plenty of things for every body. All of the teachers are so nice and very approachable. Overall, Hausner really is an amazing school and I am so glad that I have been going here!
I've been at Hausner since Kindergarten and have gotten a little tired of the closeness of my class mates and the Jewish Curriculum. The middle school program is very fun and is based around projects. It is very challenging though.
The school is almost an ideal place for kids, teachers and parents. Kids are encouraged to think and express their own ideas within a small, very warm and friendly environment. The kids are friendly to parents as well as each other and noticably respectful, especially when compared with kids in public middle schools in Palo Alto. Ethical considerations are emphasized, not only interwoven in the cirriculum but also on the playground. on the
Exceptional faculty and project based curriculum. Warm community.
I am in eighth grade at GHJDS, and I have been going here since Kindergarden. I have made great friends here, and the teachers really interact with the students on a personal level. I think that i have gotten the best education here, and want whoever is reading this to know what a great school this is.

KNIFLEY, KY (WAVE) - Gas pipelines are part of the under-scape for residents of a tiny community in Adair County. The pipes had been no trouble, until the Big Bang February 13.
Midday on Thursday the doorbell tolled for more than snacks at Patterson's Bait and Grocery. Neighbors were stopping to chew over the big bang that happened less than a mile away.
[PREVIOUS STORY: Evacuation order lifted in Knifley, KY after gas line explosion]
"It sounded like a sonic boom from a jet," retiree Ricky Harden said. "I saw a fireball go, looked like to me 2-300 foot in the air."
"It made me sit up in my bed," said Jamie Patterson. "The room was orange from the light from the fire."
Kathy Pelly's ears told her all she needed to know. "'Shew, shew' you could hear the gas going through the line, underground," she said.
[RELATED STORY: Lawmakers: Explosion creates momentum for pipeline bill]
Columbia-Gulf's #200 pipeline had exploded. While some residents ran for their cameras, Patterson snapped up her 6-year-old daughter Kayli in a blanket.
"She covered her ears," Patterson said. "She said 'Mommy lets go find a place to hide!"
Neither Patterson's, Pelly's or Harden would need to hear the order from Emergency Management officials, nor see the 60-feet-deep crater the explosion created, to heed instincts to evacuate homes and community.
"I thought it might have been the fuel here," Patterson said, referring to the 10,000 gallons of gasoline and diesel that the family business stores above ground.
But Knifley, population 400, and Adair County, home to more than 18,000, have more than one natural gas pipeline running through them.
"I got one about 30 yards behind my house," Harden said. "One about 35 to 40 in front of my house."
"There's Texas Eastern, Duke (Energy), Columbia-Gulf," store owner Kenny Patterson recited – all the while wondering aloud, whether he was hearing warning signs the past two nights.
"Our house has popped, you know - apparently once an hour - something like that," he said. "But we thought it just might be the temperature dropping and ice freezing on the porch."
The firefight took seven hours, six cars, two barns and two homes. One home's owners were treated for minor injuries.
Many of Patterson's customers know one another by their nicknames. All are anxious for answers.
"Kinda makes you wonder, if it happened there, it could happen anywhere," Kathy's husband, Terry Pelly said.
That's enough to give Jamie Patterson second thoughts, though her husband's store has stood at Knifley's main crossroads for two generations.
"I told him this morning," she said, "If he wanted to put a for sale sign in the yard, I was all for it!"

The iconic Indian next to the street has been a landmark to the area for years. Walmart's huge footprint could mean renaissance or ruin for small businesses on Rock Island's west side. "It's a chance for rebirth," businessman Randy Webster said of the pending arrival of the world's largest retailer to Watch Tower Plaza.Mr. Webster owns Comfort Furniture, housed inside the old shopping center. Sometime next year, his business will have disappeared to be replaced by a parking lot in front of a 189,000-square-foot Walmart Supercenter, as part of an agreement the city has been working on for more than a year. Mr Webster said the arrival of Walmart is good news for Rock Island and good news for his business, which he opened just 15 months ago. He'll move elsewhere in Rock Island, aided by a relocation assistance package from the city, and he said he's likely to end up with improved premises.City officials told Mr. Webster his business would have to be moved by next March or April. The Walmart Supercenter will be sandwiched between 9th and 11th streets, stretching from where the VFW building stands to the Illinois Iowa Independent Living Center. The store will face south, with a 938-space parking lot. A drive-through pharmacy, a tire center and a garden center will be included in the Walmart Supercenter, the city's drawing shows. Not everyone is happy, however, about Walmart's arrival to Rock Island. Clifford Mendelson, a part owner of the building leased to Walgreen's on 11th Street, said Walmart would hurt competing small businesses. "It strikes me that small towns that get into bed with Walmart tend to look back at it differently than when they first went in," he said. But Kevin Peschang, owner of Blackhawk TV, an electronics store on Blackhawk Road in Rock Island, said competition from big-box stores for small businesses already existed across the Quad-Cities. "They sell TV products like I do, but we already have Sam's Club, Walmart and Best Buy near here, so I don't think a Walmart in Rock Island is going to hurt me any more," he said. A bigger concern for businesses such as his, Mr. Peschang said, is the Internet, which he said hurt his bottom line more than competition from big-box stores as electronic devices become lighter and easier to ship. Online retailers such as Amazon have an advantage because they are not required to apply sales taxes, he said. Once in place, city officials said they hope Walmart will act as a magnet for other businesses. Two out lots to the north and south of the new Walmart will cover just under four acres, and the city hopes to attract some new businesses to them. "I think there's a substantial opportunity, and I think we'll be able to develop a lot of other properties once we get Walmart in there," Rock Island Mayor Dennis Pauley said. While the new Walmart will mean more competition for existing businesses in Rock Island, some business owners said it also will bring more opportunity, especially along the 11th Street corridor. "I love it and I want it," said Bruce Strader, owner of Quality Plus Body Shop on 11th Street. "More traffic means more business, and it's good to see that Rock Island is finally getting on the ball." John Hurt, who works at Crogaerts Great Outdoors, a fishing store located on 11th Street south of Watch Tower, said he is looking forward to the additional traffic Walmart will bring to the area. Crogaerts sells specialized fishing gear, and he said he doesn't think the limited range of equipment sold at a typical Walmart will hurt the business. Any money taxpayers will put into luring Walmart to Rock Island is an "investment" that should pay off, he added. "The city of Rock Island seems to be losing more and more business all the time,so I think anything coming to Rock Island is going to help us," Mr. Hurt said. City officials expect construction of the new Walmart to start next year, and Mayor Pauley said there's a chance the store could be open by next Christmas.

The 9th Meeting of the Conference of the Contracting Parties
|"Wetlands and water: supporting life, sustaining livelihoods"
9th Meeting of the Conference of the Contracting Parties
to the Convention on Wetlands (Ramsar, Iran, 1971)
Kampala, Uganda, 8-15 November 2005
Excursions organised for Sunday,
13 November 2005
On Sunday 13 November 2005, there are no scheduled work sessions as the Secretariat prepares final versions of the draft Resolutions, and delegates will be free to visit one or more places of interest, including Ramsar sites and potential sites to be included in the Ramsar list of Wetlands of International Importance.
As the time of the COP approaches, more information about these excursions, including registration forms, maps, itineraries and points of interest, will be available on the Wetlands Inspection Division Web site: http://www.ugandawetlands.org/cop9. Below is a brief description of some of the sites to be visited.
1. Nakivubo wetland, the floodplain for the main storm water channel draining the city of Kampala, is on the fringes of Lake Victoria in Murchison Bay. Nakivubo wetland plays an important role in tertiary treatment of waste water and purification of storm water, thereby maintaining water quality in the bay that supplies piped water to the city. The wetland has come under great pressure and is heavily encroached upon by coco yam cultivation and human settlements. This was the first wetland reserve to be gazetted in Uganda.
2. Mabamba Bay is an extensive marsh fringed with papyrus near the main body of Lake Victoria. This is the closest site to Kampala with Shoebill and Papyrus Gonolek. Migrant species such as Gull-billed Terns, Grey-headed Gulls, White-winged Terns and Blue Swallows are also present. The site also harbours Lake Victoria biome-restricted species and congregations. Community ecotourism is practised at this proposed Ramsar site.
3. Lutembe Bay is a marshy area on Lake Victoria that is home to Lake Victoria biome-restricted species and large congregations of migratory birds. It has at times been recorded to host probably the entire global population of the White-winged Black Tern and significant populations of Gull-billed Terns and Slender-billed Gulls. The site is also important for globally threatened species such as the Shoebill, Papyrus Gonolek, and Papyrus Yellow Warbler, and is a proposed Ramsar site.
4. Nabugabo Ramsar site, Masaka, is a freshwater lake beside Lake Victoria surrounded by different types of wetland ecosystems and is an Important Bird Area with several bird species of conservation concern. Over 180 bird species are recorded in the area, including globally threatened species of Great Snipe and Pallid Harrier. The area also supports high diversity of plants, including insectivorous species of the family Droseraceae. Lake Nabugabo is Uganda's second Ramsar Site, with beautiful scenery and unique fish and plant species of conservation concern. The excursion will also cover Nabajjuzi wetland, an extensive permanent swamp supporting Shoebill, Grey-crowned Crane and Papyrus Gonolek. The site is also famous for sitatunga antelope and serves as a water supply for Masaka town. The tour will conclude with a visit to Kyojja wetlands, which is an example of a community dependent on wetland crafts and demonstrates sustainable use of wetland products.
5. Sango Bay is an extensive mosaic of wetland types which include swamp forest, papyrus swamps, herbaceous swamps and seasonally flooded grasslands. The area is on the fringes of Lake Victoria and contains 30 species of highland-type trees, 65 species of mammals, 417 species of birds, and congregations of migratory birds. The area is considered of biogeographic interest because it lies in the transition between East and West African vegetation zones and has evidence of a Pleistocene refugium. This tour will also cover the spectacular Musambwa Island which consists of three very small rocky islands covering an area of about nine hectares. The islands support four migratory species of birds that breed in internationally significant numbers, including the African race of the Grey-headed Gull, the Long-tailed Cormorant, Greater Cormorant, and the Little Egret. It is an Important Bird Area with several bird species of conservation concern.
6. Lake Mburo National Park, Mbarara, is a typical savannah woodland/grassland with 68 species of large mammals, of which 16 are wild ungulates (e.g., eland, impala, buffalo, antelope, zebra). The park has diverse bird fauna, with over 310 species recorded. The site is important for Lake Victoria biome-restricted species such as White-winged Warbler and Carruthers's Cisticola, which are rare in other IBAs.
7. Mabira Forest Reserve is the largest block of moist semi-deciduous forest remaining in central Uganda. There are 75 Guinea-Congo forest biome species, many of which are not well represented in other forest reserves in the country. This is a good site for nature walks and has an ecotourism and picnic site. This will be followed by a visit to the Source of the Nile, Jinja, and the point where the River Nile, the longest river in Africa, flows out of Lake Victoria, which has been a site of great historical interest for explorers. The excursion will conclude with a visit to Bujagali Falls, Jinja, one of the many falls and rapids along the River Nile, famous for white-water rafting.

The Jewish community of northeastern Ohio, or more simply, "Jewish Cleveland," has played an important role in the region's development since the first group of Jews to settle in the area arrived in 1839. This presentation will offer an overview of the growth and development of the region's Jewish community after World War II, drawing attention to the community's response to the arrival of Holocaust survivors, the move to the eastern suburbs, the role of Jewish leaders in the civil rights movement, and the local campaign on behalf of Soviet Jewry. The aim is to present a series of questions within a presentation on the community's development, questions which the presentation can only begin to address: How has the community's relationship to Jews outside the US affected local leaders and organizations? Why and how did Jews move to the eastern suburbs and how has the suburbanization of the community affected their concerns? How has the Jewish community forged alliances with non-Jews, and how have conflicts with other communities been handled? How has the community remained so vibrant, in spite of increasing urban sprawl and persistent demographic challenges? Posing the questions may lead to a new awareness of this more recent period of history. Special attention will also be given to the types of resources available in the Cleveland Jewish Archives to answer these questions.
Sean Martin is Associate Curator for Jewish History in the Cleveland Jewish Archives of the Western Reserve Historical Society in Cleveland, Ohio. Martin's academic interests focus on modern Jewish and Polish history. He has written articles and book reviews for several journals in these fields, conducted extensive research in Poland, Ukraine, and Lithuania, and given talks on the Holocaust and Jewish history in the US and Poland. He is the author of Jewish Life in Cracow 1918-1939 (Vallentine Mitchell 2004).

GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) - Brown County prosecutors said a sheriff's deputy did nothing wrong when he chased down a stolen car at 90 miles an hour, and struck another vehicle in which a woman was critically injured.
District Attorney David Lasee said deputy Rueben Meisner did not commit recklessness or criminal negligence in the July 7th incident on the Highway 41 expressway near Green Bay.
Authorities said the stolen car got into a hit-and-run crash in Oconto County – and officers had chased the vehicle south into Brown County before Meisner's squad car swerved to avoid spike-sticks that another deputy laid on the road to try and stop the offending driver.
The squad car slammed into a vehicle driven by 27-year-old Michelle Lecker of Milwaukee. Her fiancé had minor injuries.
Meisner, who's 54, returned to duty after being injured.
Reports said Lecker went through several months of rehab and treatments – and she has filed papers indicating that she may seek her medical payments in a civil lawsuit.

AoA provides $74,000 to Minnesota to aid older flood victims
The Department of Health and Human Services' Administration on Aging has made $74,000 in disaster assistance available to the Minnesota Board on Aging to support critical gap-filling services for seniors following flooding in various counties throughout Minnesota earlier this year.
"I am so pleased that we are able to offer this support to the courageous older citizens of Minnesota, who once again pulled together to make it through one of the most difficult times in their region's history," said HHS Secretary Tommy G. Thompson.
Severe flooding in Northern Minnesota in early June led President Bush to declare Lake of the Woods, Mahnomen, Norman and Roseau Counties as federal disaster areas. Subsequently, Kittson, Marshall, Pennington, Polk and Red Lake counties were added to the designation. The town of Roseau, Minnesota was hit the hardest when over 10 inches of rain fell in 24 hours. Across the entire region, hundreds of people were driven from their homes, and thousands of acres of prime farmland were swamped and crops destroyed. A significant number of people had to be evacuated from their homes, and many were older persons requiring individualized assistance.
The AoA, through its national disaster preparedness and response activities, has been working with the Minnesota Board on Aging, the Northwest Area Agency on Aging, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the Red Cross and Lutheran Disaster Services since the flooding occurred to help older victims and their families recover and assist them in applying for services and benefits. Approximately 3,080 seniors have been assisted since the floods occurred. The AoA disaster assistance funds will be used to help defray the cost of services that have been provided including outreach, advocacy, and chore and clean up for the older Minnesotans living in these areas.
Josefina G. Carbonell, Assistant Secretary for Aging authorized the assistance, expressing her commitment to helping the older victims of these floods recover over the long term. "We know that seniors often take a bit longer to recover from disasters of this magnitude, and we want to be able to provide as much assistance as possible to help them get back on their feet. Our funding fills in for services and activities that older people need that are not provided through other emergency resources," said Assistant Secretary Carbonell. She continued, "We are so proud of the way these communities came together to help each other, especially all the staff and volunteers of the Minnesota aging network who jumped to the aid of their older neighbors while also trying to help save their own families and homes."
For additional information about the AoA's national disaster preparedness and response activities, please contact Irma Tetzloff at (202) 619-3268.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass (Reuters) - Rhode Island next year will begin allowing illegal immigrants to pay lower in-state college tuition, the 13th state to allow some form of lower tuition for undocumented immigrants.
The Board of Governors for Higher Education approved the measure at a meeting late Monday after the state legislature failed to take action for six years.
Governor Lincoln Chafee, an Independent, had urged the board to adopt the measure, which takes effect in September 2012, said board spokesman Michael Trainor.
Some 400 people crowded into the meeting at Community College of Rhode Island, where all 11 members in attendance from the 13-member board voted for the measure.
Rhode Island joins 12 states nationwide that have introduced laws allowing undocumented immigrant students to pay in-state tuition fees under certain conditions, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. But Rhode Island is the only one that has introduced such a measure without going through its state legislature.
To be eligible under the new policy, students who immigrated illegally must have completed at least three years of high school in Rhode Island, graduated from a high school or received a GED in the state, and signed an affidavit saying they will pursue citizenship as soon as possible, Trainor said.
A group that opposes the measure, Rhode Islanders for Immigration Law Enforcement, said on its website that illegal immigration caused a "tremendous financial drain" on the state.
Executive director Terry Gorman said the group considered the board's decision a "travesty" and was considering legal action to stop it.
Public schools have taught undocumented students through 12th grade without question for years, and advocates pushed for the new measure partly to maintain a consistent policy when those students reach college age, Trainor said.
They also consider it part of an economic development strategy to ensure a highly trained work force that generates tax revenue and contributes to the economy, he said.
Tuition for Rhode Island residents is significantly lower than for out-of-state students at its university and community colleges.
For example, at the University of Rhode Island, out-of-state tuition is $27,262, while in-state tuition is just $10,556; at Rhode Island College, it is $16,878 out-of-state and $6,986 in-state; and at Community College of Rhode Island, it is $9,792 out-of-state and $3,652 in-state.

Beginning June 22nd, we will be making some changes to the TheTwilightSaga.com Site Rules and Guidelines, particularly related to GROUPS. Over the past year, since NING adopted the subscription model, we have noticed an increase in groups that aren't related to Twilight – even loosely! So to enable the site to remain focused with an engaged community, we will be closing down some groups and providing tighter guidelines for the moderators as to what should and shouldn't live on the site going forward.
If you would like to read the official amendments, just click here.
Not to worry, if you have been an active member leading a group that is loosely Twilight related, then in the words of Ryan Seacrest, "You Are Safe."
If your group is targeted for closing, your group creator will receive an email from the moderators with the subject line: "Your Group Is in Danger of Being Closed." There will also be instructions on how to appeal the closure. Generally speaking, unless you have a compelling reason for keeping the group alive, it will more than likely be closed down.
If you have any questions at this time, you can use the "Report an Issue" button on the site and the moderators will address them to the best of their abilities.
We are confident that as this change goes into effect that the fans that originally helped grow this site to epic proportions will find that they are enjoying their time here and making new fan friends along the way.
Thank you as always for your loyalty, patience, and understanding…
Love in Twilight,
Your moderators and admin team!

Gosh, I empathize with you. We had our first GDA dog dropped at just nine months. He wasn't up for the challenge of working and was very easily distracted. Now, as turn in day approaches for our second dog, I have to keep telling everyone, "yes, I will miss him and no, we won't keep him if he doesn't pass." Chin up! Your dog will have an excellent life because of the work you put in!

Understand completely your feelings. The third pup I raised for a local guide dog school was career changed to K9. He was the toughest pup I raised and put so much into him. But just like all people are not cut out to be doctors, all dogs are not cut out to be guide dogs. I was suddenly thrust into senior retired guide dog care when my working dogs started being retired. That will teach me not to raise pup after pup! Smile! Good luck with your next pup!

I'm not sure how all you puppy raisers manage to give up such wonderful dogs. I am on my 6th guide and they are all amazing. Although Caleb's story is tough, thank you for noticing now. Last year I worked a very wonderful dog whom I love dearly but guiding was not to be her life's work, she could either be obedient or guide but not both at the same time. The struggle was stressing her out and she was career changed and is now a therapy dog with her puppy raiser. Thanks again for putting so much love, time and energy into these wonderful dogs.

A Classic that's upgraded with coil taps, a rosewood fingerboard and Holly head veneer.
When guitarist and inventor Les Paul conceived the Custom model in the mid-1950s, he envisioned it as a "black tie" guitar suitable for the most elegant occasions. In the years since then, the Les Paul Custom has come to represent all of that and more. The most dressed-up of the Les Paul production line, the Custom is nevertheless a full-bore rocker, suitable for the heaviest riffs you want to throw at it, while still excelling on the blues, jazz, pop or fusion stage.
The Les Paul Classic Custom from Gibson USA stays true to its heritage, keeping the unique touches that make it stand out at a price players will appreciate. Featuring premium tonewoods and top-flight appointments, this is an instrument of astounding beauty and surprising versatility. With all the legendary power of the Les Paul Standard it has a Custom look that stands out from the crowd.
As with the best Les Pauls crafted since the early '50s, the Les Paul Classic Custom starts with the legendary tonewood pairing of a solid carved maple top glued to a mahogany body. Marrying maple's clarity and definition to mahogany's richness and depth produces a tonal complexity that no single-wood guitar has ever matched.
Its resonance and sustain are only further enhanced by the deep-set quarter-sawn mahogany neck with 17-degree back-angled headstock. Optimum playability is ensured by a slim, comfortable neck profile that measures .800" at the 1st fret and .875" at the 12th. The guitar's 22-fret fingerboard is made from rosewood, and inlaid with trapeziod markers, enhanced by a mother-of-pearl Gibson headstock logo and Holly inlay.
To ensure that all of these constructional features translate to the purest, richest tone possible, Gibson loads the Les Paul Classic Custom with a pair of '57 Classic humbucking pickups, routed through the traditional four-knob with coil taps and three-way switch control section. Made with genuine Alnico II magnets and wound with enamel-coated 42-AWG wire just like the hallowed PAF pickups of the late 1950s and early '60s, the '57 Classics yield creamy warm tones in the neck position and plenty of growl and snarl in the bridge, with funky, round tones in between.
A pairing of Tune-o-matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece ensure solid sustain and accurate intonation, while a set of premium Grover kidney-button tuners make tune-up a breeze. Each guitar comes protected in a black hardshell case with plush lining, and includes an owner's manual and adjustment literature

Comments about Gibson Les Paul Classic Custom 2 Electric Guitar:
After years with Gibson J-200 and other acoustics I finally took a leap to an electric. If money were no option would probably have gone with an ES model for less weight (maybe later when my wife recovers from this one).
The tone, playability, and quality though is excellent as one would expect when paying for a Gibson. Fun to play and love it!

Comments about Gibson Les Paul Classic Custom 2 Electric Guitar:
What a beautiful guitar that sounds as good as it looks. I've been a strat play for years but it never felt or sounded quite right. The '57 Classic PUs sound great thru my VOX AC4C1-12. With a little tinkering I can get sounds reminiscent of Page and Richards. The action is fast and comfortable, very low and buzz free. The opposite of my '02 AM DLX Strat. Love the 60s neck. It just feels right. A little more substantial than my strat but more deliberate. Oh and sustain, wow! Just love this guitar!

Comments about Gibson Les Paul Classic Custom 2 Electric Guitar:
This guitar is literally beyond belief. I have never seen a more beautiful instrument, or heard a sweeter tone. This guitar's sound is dark and thick, with a complex midrange, and a sweet top end. The build quality is superb in every way, and playability is without equal. The sustain this guitar produces is just ridiculous; you wont need lots of gain or compression, because the wood of this guitar keeps notes singing on and on. The neck is a little thicker than a slim taper, but still fast and comfortable. The pickups produce a balanced tone with the perfect output, just sweet and angelic. This guitar is faultless.

Comments about Gibson Les Paul Classic Custom 2 Electric Guitar:
I have a few Gibson Les Pauls, from studios to full blown custom models. The Custom Classic 2 first caught my eye because it looked so clean in the dark wine red with the Les Paul Custom binding package. As I became more interested in the guitar I realized that this guitar had all of the features that helped make the Les Paul an Iconic Guitar and it seemed to be priced right as well.
Now that I have Purchased this Guitar ! I am very satisfied and extremely pleased with my choice. This guitar is truly a Gibson Les Paul that should delight any Les Paul enthusiast or want to be owner. I'm not an expert on building guitars, but I don't think Gibson took any shortcuts in the planning of, or manufacturing of this model Les Paul.

Comments about Gibson Les Paul Classic Custom 2 Electric Guitar:
The Gibson Classic Custom 2: What's one to say, it's a Gibson...A true work of art, solidly constructed, tone to the moon, harmonics touching the edge of the Galaxy, and built to shred. But, looking closely to detail, the strings weren't wrapped around the posts with the proper technique. To some it may not matter, but for me this is important, especially since this guitar has no locking device at the nut. Aside from that, there was a considerable amount of string buzz everywhere. Now that's only because the action was set super low. This is an easy fix and I feel no matter what guitar you buy there is always a personal setup to expect. The axe does sound awesome...best described as pleasantly obnoxious with monstrous blended overtones and it's not shy to hog the frequency spectrum from low to high. This axe produces the tone...I would attribute it to the thick solid heavy construction and '57 pickups. I've played thru a lot of pickups and all deliver different tones, so it again is a personal choice as to what you want to hear, which has a lot to do with effects also. Needless to say, the action is super fast and you can probably almost get a speeding ticket if you're not careful. If the neck were a tad bit slimmer, not by much, maybe just seven thousandths in width and depth, this axe would have everyone speechless. I have the wine red model and it is beautiful. The binding is mesmerizing. All the hardware is big and bold as compared to an Epiphone...although I have an Epiphone Les Paul Standard Plus Top and it is an awesome guitar with fabulous out of this world tone also. In summary, the Classic Custom 2 is hard to beat for the serious guitarist that knows, lives, and breathes guitars.

When deciding what to cook for dinner, I've never really paid attention to the sauces that go on my food. Instead, I usually concentrate on the entire dish. Well after this week, I learned that a good sauce can transform even basic, grilled chicken into something special. We learned the difference between classical and contemporary sauces, and concentrated on three different categories: reductions, emulsions and purees.
Most sauces you'll get in restaurants today are contemporary which kind of makes sense, being that the classical types are high fat with lots of butter and cream, like velouté, béchamel, hollandaise and the ever popular mayonnaise. Yup, mayo started as a sauce, and we made it from scratch. A lot easier than it seems! I've included the recipe for it below.
A reduction sauce is usually based on a brown stock with whatever flavorings you choose to put in. One of most basic is the red wine reduction, always a good choice for a lean cut of meat! You can vary this by using different types of wine, like Marsala and Port or even a brandy. The most important thing in a reduction is the consistency. The term "nappe" means that the sauce should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, and this is just what you need to look for when stirring and reducing your sauce.
An emulsion is when a fat and another liquid are mixed together. It can get a little tricky because normally oil and water don't mix, right? Well, here they do. You just have to do it the right way, have patience and a strong wrist.
Here's where our solo class work started. We were each to make a beurre blanc sauce and homemade mayonnaise. Beurre blanc literally means white butter. For this recipe, temperature control is really important. After combining the first series of ingredients, you remove it from the heat source and SLOWLY whisk in cold butter. It won't emulsify if the butter is melted or even room temperature. Interesting, no?
Mayo is another emulsification that we're all familiar with, but try making it from scratch. You need patience to very slowly pour the oil into the egg yolks, mustard and vinegar while whisking the whole time. I'm not a huge mayo fan, but this was pretty darn good!
Our group assignment was vinaigrette. The basic rule for vinaigrettes is to use a three to one ratio, three parts oil to one part acid (this means a vinegar or juice). We were allowed to be creative for this, so Kathy, Mindy and I chose to make ours with orange and basil. All you do for this is use OJ instead of vinegar and chiffonade some basil to whisk in.We even used a touch of orange zest! (Good suggestion, Mindy!)
Purees are sauces that change depending on the ingredients and herbs that are used. Pesto is a perfect example of this type of sauce, as is chutney. These sauces are usually not totally smooth and have a rustic edge.
Sauces serve a definite purpose, and how they're paired with food makes a HUGE difference in taste. Your sauce should add visual interest and texture to your dish, like using a chunky sauce with a smooth chicken breast. It should also be appropriate for the food.
Whichever sauce you decide to prepare, just make sure there's enough for each and every bite, you'll be glad you did. My ketchup will surely be taking a back seat from now on!
Homemade MayonnaiseIngredients:
3 egg yolks
1 tbsp mustard (use a Dijon)
1-2 tsp lemon juice
1 1/2C vegetable oil (I like EVOO in this)
Salt and pepper
Combine yolks, mustard and 1 tsp lemon juice, whisking mixture until smooth. Slowly add oil in a very thin pour while whisking continuously. As emulsion is established, the oil can be added a bit more quickly. When all oil is added, adjust consistency and season with lemon juice, salt and pepper.
Basic Red Wine ReductionIngredients:
2 shallots, finely chopped
4 oz red wine
4 oz demi-glace (stock that's been reduced)
Reduce wine and shallots. Add demi-glace. Stir. Strain.
Beurre BlancIngredients:
1 medium shallot, minced
½ C white wine
1 tbsp champagne vinegar
1 oz heavy cream
½ lb unsalted butter, COLD but not frozen and cut into chunks.
Salt and white pepper to taste
Combine shallots, wine and vinegar in a non-reactive saucepot. Add salt. Reduce by half. Add the cream and reduce to a light sauce consistency. Remove from heat. Carefully whisk in all the butter. If the sauce gets cold, carefully heat on low while whisking constantly. Season with salt and pepper. Strain.

Comments about Seymour Duncan Single-Coil Pickup Cover:
Despite what previous reviews say *AND* what the picture shows, you do not get six pickup covers. You get three. And trust me, I called to complain and they were not willing to give me three more, despite reviews saying you get six and the picture showing six. Pretty misleading since the description doesn't say how many you get.
Comments about Seymour Duncan Single-Coil Pickup Cover:
Bought these in black to replace the stockwhite "semour designed" covers that came with my strat. They look great. If your pickups are the thicker (stacked) pickups they won't cover the entire pickup, but then neither to the stock fender covers. Their a little pricey, but when you figure there is enough to do two guitars then it's not a bad deal. If your using these with awhite pickguard they look awesome!
Comments about Seymour Duncan Single-Coil Pickup Cover:
These do the job. There are 6 in a pack, and everything is great on them. no problems. They are nice since I made my guitar look like I had real Duncan pickups when I only changed the covers and kept the stock pickups.
Comments about Seymour Duncan Single-Coil Pickup Cover:
I bought three of these for my Squier Bullet, which I'm customizing. These single coil pickup covers do what they are supposed to do. Cover single coil pickups. I gave it a nine overall because I didn't rate it comparing this product to other products. I rated it according to what the description states and such. I think these are way overpriced, only because they are covers. I feel it's not worth it to get these at this price.
Comments about Seymour Duncan Single-Coil Pickup Cover:
I just got these today, and I was kinda disappointed to find that they didnt even come close to fitting my Squire Strat. But since they're made of soft plastic, a drill took care of the job. If you must get these for your squire, be prepared to spend a good 1/2 hr re-sizing the holes. If you have an original stratocaster, then these look amazing!

Bill Nye is great. He makes science fun and easy to understand. The same can be said about his newest show Stuff Happens. Stuff Happens airs on Planet Green Tuesdays at 9 PM.
Today's episode of Stuff Happens titled Garage asks questions such as:
- Is corn based ethanol really green?
- Are any biofuels really green (i.e. sugar based, algae based, or switchgrass based)
- What happened to the electric cars that 10 years ago people were claiming would be the next big thing?
- What is the world's most efficient form of transportation?
Some of the answers the show gives might be surprising. For example, Bill Nye seems to be very against corn based ethanol. He also mentions an amusing University of Pennsylvania study that claims people who ride bicycles on a regular basis were actually harming the environment. This is because bicyclists live longer, and by doing so they are around to consume more and produce more waste.
Stuff Happens is probably my favorite show on Green Planet, and this was one of its better episodes. So if you are lucky enough to have a cable company that carries Green Planet, I highly recommend checking this episode out.
Fun Facts Mentioned in the Episode:
- We have used about 1/2 of world's oil in 150 years
- The energy required to make 1 gallon of corn ethanol is equal to burning 65 gallons of gasoline
- Corn erodes soil 18x faster than it can regenerate
- By 2020 there will be over 1,000,000,000 cars on Earth
- There are 15,000,000 skateboarders in the U.S.
- Skateboards are largely recyclable

The QuEST (Quality, Efficiency, Satisfaction and Training) initiative is a continuous quality improvement project through aimed at answering three questions across all areas of our practice:
Our goals include improving:
Our first project focuses on developing and implementing evidence-based guidelines to support clinical decisions and reduce the variability in care provided. In the past two years we have developed and implemented four clinical management pathways, with several others in development. The treatment of adolescent varicoceles pathway was the first to be implemented and measured. The literature is inconsistent as to the treatment of varicoceles, and management varies considerably throughout the nation and within our own practice.
A workgroup of providers developed the pathway based on feedback from their peers and available literature. The goal of the pathway is to set a standard for follow-up imaging, semen analysis and surgery. We agreed that patients with a testicular volume differential of less than 15 percent should have a scrotal ultrasound every two years; those with a discrepancy of more than 15 percent would be seen annually; persistent discrepancy on three studies warranted surgery; and all patients should submit a semen analysis at age 18.
Data on adherence to the pathway and patient outcomes is reviewed quarterly. Since inception, the data has shown a reduction in practice variation with more than 90 percent compliance to the pathway. The algorithm has led to an effective, low-cost means of following this patient population. We believe that prospective data collection will allow us to assess the relationship between total testicular volume and semen analysis parameters; data that will guide care moving forward.
In the coming year, we will extend the pathway program to include problems like daytime and nighttime wetting, stone disease, spina bifida and antenatally detected hydronephrosis. We will also routinely measure patient and provider satisfaction and the cost of care. However, the most important focus of this work will be on patient outcomes: Is the care we are providing resulting in the best outcomes for our patients? Continuous monitoring of our clinical data will help us ensure we are providing the right care to the right patient at the right time – every time.

Will Forte Says 'MacGruber 2′ is Not Dead, Will at Least Have a Script
A while back we broke the news that director Jorma Taccone was talking about making a sequel to 'MacGruber.' Will Forte was recently at a press conference for 'That's My Boy' and suggested it would never happen. But now, now there's some hope of a 'MacGruber 2.'

HARRISONBURG, Va. At Harrisonburg City Council's meeting Tuesday night, they decided to change the city ordinances to align with the Code of Virginia.
Back in December, the "We Support Planning" group filed a lawsuit claiming the city did not approach the planning process legally with their plans to build a new municipal building. The group believes the city should have referred plans and designs to the planning commission.
Chris Brown, the city attorney, said this code change is not in response to the lawsuit. He said, this is something they have been planning for a while, before the suit was filed. He said, they still do not believe the municipal building needed to be sent to the planning commission.
Brown said the new reference in the city's code is really just about clarification and limiting interpretation by making sure the local ordinance reads the same as the state law.
"Really what this does is make sure the things that do get referred to the planning commission, we know what the rules are about how long the planning commission has them," said Brown.
Thomas Domonoske, the lawyer who filed the lawsuit, said the city code change is an important move for the future but doesn't change the problems they had with the municipal building.
The next step with the lawsuit is to get a hearing date in front of the judge. They will know that day on the Jan. 22.

The New York Times Introduces a Web Site
By PETER H. LEWIS
Published: January 22, 1996
The New York Times begins publishing daily on the World Wide Web today, offering readers around the world immediate access to most of the daily newspaper's contents.
The New York Times on the Web, as the electronic publication is known, contains most of the news and feature articles from the current day's printed newspaper, classified advertising, reporting that does not appear in the newspaper, and interactive features including the newspaper's crossword puzzle.
The electronic newspaper (address: http:/www.nytimes.com) is part of a strategy to extend the readership of The Times and to create opportunities for the company in the electronic media industry, said Martin Nisenholtz, president of The New York Times Electronic Media Company.
The company, formed in 1995 to develop products for the rapidly growing field of digital publishing, is a wholly owned subsidiary of The New York Times Company, and also produces the times service on America Online Inc.
Mr. Nisenholtz reports to Russell T. Lewis, the president and general manager of The New York Times, and to Joseph Lelyveld, the newspaper's executive editor.

The Segerstrom Center for the Arts on Jan. 13 will kick off its first-ever Off Center Festival, an eclectic nine-day program showcasing cutting-edge theater, music and dance, hip-hop, mash poetry and performance art.
Aimed at drawing audiences that reflect Orange County's cultural and generational diversity, as well as offering the public wide access to a new wave of creativity in performing arts through moderately-priced tickets, the festival will run through Jan. 21.
The extensive lineup will comprise eight different acts rarely seen by audiences in O.C.: Chautauqua, Reggie Watts, The Car Plays, "ReEntry," "The Word Begins," "Ten Tiny Dances," and indie bands Lord Huron and Mexican Institute of Sound.
"What's exciting to me is not just individual pieces, but the amazing, eclectic range of experiences," center President Terry Dwyer said in an interview. "Truly, we are asking our audience to expect the unexpected and take some chances on an adventurous ride."
The festival, which partly is a collaboration with neighboring South Coast Repertory, will build on the center's Off Center series, which has been around for years and has featured free events, shows by independent bands playing outdoors in the center's plaza, and dance festivals. Now, a full festival expands on the Off Center idea, and is finally taking shape after a year of preparation.
Dwyer said enhancing the Off Center offerings would "bring in concentrated bursts of activity, a high-quality eclectic range of performances."
He added that the programs would help attract younger and more diverse audiences to the center, as well as first-timers.
Toward that end, the center is pricing tickets to shows across the board at $20 for single tickets, or a package of four or more shows for $10 each ticket.
"This is some of the best contemporary performance music, dance, comedy, hip hop street theater and alternative performances," Dwyer said. "It's really about the best anywhere, and for just 10 or 20 dollars. We really wanted to remove economic barriers and encourage people to just take a chance and just let us know what they think."
The lineup
The Off Center Festival opens Jan. 13 with separately billed performances by the indie band Lord Huron and Chautauqua, a site-adapted, Vaudeville-influenced variety show packed with music, comedy Broadway-style song-and-dance numbers, feats of strength and short informative lectures by local guests.
Special guests will be OC Weekly's Gustavo Arellano; Erwin Chemerinsky, founding dean of the UC Irvine School of Law; Shelley Hoss, president of the Orange County Community Foundation; and Jim Washburn, arts and music writer and historian.
Lord Huron, a band that fuses Calypso-inspired harmonies with folk music, will perform for one night in Founders Hall, while Chautauqua will perform four shows through Jan. 15 in the Samueli Theater.
Next up, on Jan. 14 in Founders Hall, comedian and musician Reggie Watts will perform a one-night gig of improvised musical sets, using only his voice and a looping machine. During his 2010 tour, he opened for Conan O'Brien and played Bonnaroo.
Out on the Arts Plaza, The Car Plays, conceived by Paul Stein, will perform a series of shows on Jan. 14-15 and Jan. 20-21.
The production brings actors and audiences together in parked cars. Fifteen short plays, including two pieces commissioned by South Coast Repertory, will be performed inside the cars, while audiences of two move from vehicle to vehicle, experiencing works by various playwrights.
Audiences will experience five plays in one hour. There will be three different tracks of five plays, with each play lasting approximately nine minutes.
From Jan. 18 through Jan. 20, "ReEntry," a play conceived by sisters of veterans Emily Ackerman and KJ Sanchez, will be performed in Founders Hall.
The drama sifts through politics to uncover the raw veracity of a Marine's homecoming and how American families, culture and society can help these servicemen and women readjust to life back home. All dialogue in the play was taken directly from interviews with combat veterans and their families.

I am of the view that he was not holding the ball. In that case, downward pressure is required to score a try. If you are of the view that he was still "holding" the ball, then we are disagreeing on facts, not law. So be it.

The first try was from a dummy my mum wouldn't fall for, and the second was just a defensive positioning error from a scratch side resulting in a gap you could drive a truck through and nobody came within metres of him. Yeah, he spotted the gap, but so did I sitting behind the goal posts 100 metres away. Two world class tries? He'll have to do better than that with the Aussie back row covering.

My French is crap but I do a bit of refereeing. I believe this is not a ruck penalty - as has been pointed out, clearly the conditions for a ruck didn't exist - but rather that the penalty was for incorrect entry to the tackle area. White 15 plays the ball, Red 12 tackles him and he spills the ball backwards but it lands next to him, hence it's still in the tackle area. Red 11 is then required to come "through the gate" to play the ball as he was not the tackler. He did not, hence the penalty, which prevented a possible try, put not sufficiently certain to give a penalty try, hence the yellow. Superb refereeing. »

PHOENIX (AP) - The leader of an effort to recall Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio says his group won't abandon its bid to oust the sheriff even though Arpaio supporters are threatening legal action.
Recall leader William James Fisher says Arpaio supporters haven't sent him the cease & desist letter that they said they were going to send when they threatened legal action if the effort wasn't folded by this coming Saturday.
Arpaio supporters contend the effort is unconstitutional, while recall organizers say the sheriff has put immigration enforcement above other law enforcement priorities.
Recall organizers face a May 30 deadline for handing in valid petition signatures from more than 335,000 voters.
Larry Klayman, a lawyer representing the Arpaio supporters, didn't return a call seeking comment on the refusal to abandon the recall effort.
