December 2001
New York, NY - December 10, 2001 - The sixth annual Paul A. Samuelson Award for Outstanding Scholarly Writing on Lifelong Financial Security will be shared by authors John Cochrane for "Asset Pricing," and Christian Gollier for "The Economics of Risk and Time," both published in 2001. It is the first time the TIAA-CREF Institute's award has been shared by two people.
John Cochrane is the Theodore O. Yntema Professor of Finance in the Graduate School of Business at the University of Chicago. Christian Gollier is a Professor of Economics at the University of Toulouse in France. Professor Gollier also holds an appointment as a Professor of Economics at the Ecole Polytechnique in France. He is the first Samuelson Award winner from outside of the United States.
The award will be presented by John H. Biggs, TIAA-CREF chairman, president and CEO, at a January 4, 2002 ceremony to be held at the Allied Social Science Association's annual meeting at the Atlanta Marriott Marquis Hotel. Each of the award winners will receive a $15,000 cash prize.
Every day, financial market decision-makers price trillions of dollars worth of securities such as stocks, bonds, options futures, and derivatives. Asset pricing -- the systematic determination of the value of these securities - has developed dramatically due to advances in financial theory and econometric science. Professor Cochrane unifies and brings this science up to date for the benefit of advanced students and investment professionals. Instead of using a separate set of models for each asset class, "Asset Pricing" presents a unified treatment using an integrated approach based on the stochastic discount factor.
Professor Gollier's "The Economics of Risk and Time" updates and expands the theory of expected utility as applied to risk analysis and financial decision-making in macroeconomics, finance and environmental economics. The book focuses on the interaction between risk and time used in financial management. It clarifies the concept of time diversification, and the links between saving, portfolio choice, and retirement. It also discusses the importance of financial markets for an efficient allocation of risks in the economy.
The Paul A. Samuelson Award is determined by an independent panel of judges and is administered by the TIAA-CREF Institute, the research and educational arm of the TIAA-CREF organization. The award was named after Nobel Prize winner Paul Samuelson in honor of his achievements in the field of economics, as well as for his service as a CREF trustee from 1974-85.
The Institute's fields of interest include pensions and retirement; corporate governance; investment products and strategy; higher education financing and trends; health, life, and long-term care insurance; endowment management; financial planning; and financial literacy.
Six noted scholars served as judges for the 2001 award: John Y. Campbell, Otto Eckstein Professor of Applied Economics, Department of Economics, Harvard University; Alan L. Gustman, Loren M. Berry Professor of Economics, Department of Economics, Dartmouth College; Marjorie B. McElroy, Professor of Economics and Chair, Department of Economics, Duke University; Mark V. Pauly, Bendheim Professor of Health Care Systems, The Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania; Joseph F. Quinn, Professor of Economics and Dean, College of Arts and Sciences, Boston College; and Robert W. Vishny, Eric J. Gleacher Distinguished Service Professor of Finance, Graduate School of Business, University of Chicago.
TIAA-CREF encompasses the premier pension system for people employed in education and research in the U.S., serving approximately 11,000 institutions and 2.3 million participants. The organization also serves both educators and the general public with mutual funds, annuities, IRAs, insurance and trust services, and is the leading manager of state-sponsored college saving programs.

I like this sconce very much and have selected it for my home. It has a clean, but contemporary and rather Asian feel to it. It also takes an 100 watt bulb which gives enough light to an entry with only one sconce. The opposite wall is free for art.
By:Paula M. , Homeowner (Woodland Hills)
Robust construction. Excellent diffusion of light. Would recommend to anybody for a low-cost contemporary upgrade.

Robust construction. Excellent diffusion of light. Would recommend to anybody for a low-cost contemporary upgrade.
By:Benton F. , Designer (US)
These sconces achieved the look I was after - asian inspired, but not so much that I felt I had to have other actual objects from asia in the room as accents. My interiors are very minimal without being spartan. These fixtures work well with the mid-century furnishings that I prefer. They have enough of an industrual feel to compliment the other metallic finishes in the room, and the shades look like sculpture when they are lit up at night. I have them on a dimmer, which works beautifully. The shades are cubes, which is not easy to see in the photos.
By:Shannon G. , Designer (Mount Vernon, Wa)
Fixtures went up easy and look great. Glass "shades" very fragile. Two arrived broken but were replaced without any trouble.
By:Estelle M. , Homeowner
Got this but and loved the light. The single light version is longer than the dual or triple so make sure you have enough room where you plan on putting it. Great value for cost.

Sioux Falls, SD (KELO-AM) Sioux Falls schools have gotten a real good report card in a new survey of hundreds of parents. Nearly 90 percent give the schools an 'A' or 'B' for overall quality. School Board President Doug Morrison says Sioux Falls has the best teachers in the country and this is a recognition of that.
While overall the schools get high marks, only 44 percent of parents think the district is doing a good job involving parents in the schools. Morrison says the board will drill down on that and try to come up with ways to improve parental involvement.
On another issue, Morrision says it turns out that kids in middle school have been reciting the Pledge Of Allegiance all along, but that the written policy was not clear. The Board is clarifying the written policy to reflect the reality.There was some concern that the Pledge was being recited only in elementary school..

Local nerd girl wields writing saber for Alibi
Natalie Willoughby
I'm that chick who likes "guy stuff." I was raised on comics, action movies and video games. My poor mother had high hopes that I would be a ballerina, but it soon became clear that Legos and action flicks trumped tutus. Since then, my love of all things science, sci-fi and otherwise geek has led me to author a blog on those subjects.
A few weeks ago, I hit up the Alibi's news editor with a pitch: I wanted to go to the Kennedy Space Center and watch the last shuttle launch. That story will hit alibi.com tonight around 6 p.m. Look for it on stands this week, too.
I'm going to begin penning a column for this paper, too. If you have some questions for me, or if you have a topic you would like me to feature, please email me at email@example.com.
Talk nerdy to me! Bring up Star Wars. Bring up "Star Trek." Or "Fringe" Or "The X-Files." Or The Long Halloween. Tell me how much you hated Batman: Hush, and please explain why, as it's one of my favorites. Ask me which planet you can see in the night sky tonight. Ask me about the most recent discovery in computer science.
Get your geek on.

�1. The Stock Market turning around - 10,000 +�???
LONDON -- European and U.S. stock markets fell Tuesday after government figures showed the U.S. economy did not grow as fast in the third quarter as previously estimated, stoking fears that the recovery in the world's largest economy will be slow.
NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Gold rallied to an all-time high Monday, climbing ever closer to $1,200 an ounce, as the U.S. dollar slid and investors showed nervousness about the economy.
John Browne writes in : Massive US Dollar Devaluation Against Gold During 2009 ,
� The Federal Reserve estimates that in the past year losses in real estate, stocks and mortgages have sucked out some $7.2 trillion of wealth from the U.S. economy. Some are now putting the figure at $20 trillion. �
�2. The Banking industry turning around�???
NEW YORK (Fortune) -- In an ominous sign for the recovery, bank loans are drying up faster than ever. Loan balances at commercial banks fell at the fastest clip in at least 25 years in the third quarter, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. said Tuesday.
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Five new bank failures on Friday brought the total number of banks and thrifts shut down by regulators this year to 120.
�4. The Auto industry turning around and starting to pay their money back as well�???
GM lost $1.2 billion for the third quarter
�5. The US held in higher regard World Wide�???
Yeah, the World just loves us so much now that Obama has bowed, scraped, and apologized, that they are meeting in Copenhagen to draft a treaty that will extort trillions of dollars from us.
�6. Housing market starting to turn around�???
U.S. home prices fell 4.5 percent in the third quarter from a year earlier, the sharpest drop since Standard & Poor�s began its nationwide housing index in 1987 and another sign that the housing slump is far from over, the research group said Tuesday.
Last week, the National Association of Realtors said that sales of existing homes fell in 46 states in the third quarter.

Hey All! This Fall Semester I will be a Character Design mentor for Motivarti. I'll be taking on one mentee this round and I'm very excited about it. If you have interest in applying to become my mentee, applications for the Fall 2013 program will open up next Monday, July 1 and conclude Wednesday, July 24 (after comic con). Below is a link to my profile page. Check out the other amazing mentors this round as well! Lots of talented people and it's truly an honor being added to the roster.
Update: This has been updated for re-bloggable form
Hi Malcolm,
Thank you so much for the kind thought and words :) I can relate to how you feel. I unfortunately don't plan on having any sort of "apprenticeship" set up for the near future, but here are some of my thoughts that may or may not help you. Sorry for the long read.
I completely understand your feeling of "Man, look at how high that ladder goes and how far the bars are from each other. This is going to be hard, and I can't possibly reach the next bar without some help". I've been there too. I'm constantly sweating, looking for the next bar. The only difference is over time and with experience, you can change your view from being daunted and overwhelmed by trying to reach the next bar, to instead, embracing it and finding excitement out of the challenge.
When I worked at feature, my artistic abilities were no where close to where I wanted to see them at. I was horrible and I knew it and I wasn't getting consistent design work. I saw so much amazing artwork happening around me at the studio. I wanted to grow to that level, but I wasn't patient with myself. At that time, I had the opportunity to design full time for TV on Gravity Falls. I knew this opportunity would help challenge me to reaching my next bar. I had not yet been a full time character designer and was excited for the challenge. So for the sake of "I don't want to sit here and wait for the next bar to present itself, if it even does", while working at feature, I left it and took the TV job. I had a new bar in front of me, which is just what I was hoping for. Luckily I had Phil Rynda as a great inspiration to work with and push me. I struggled and doubted myself during the early stages of working on the show. I found Walt Stanchfield's "Drawn to Life" books as a great resource that spelled out the fundamental tools of drawing very clearly. This was my guide for building up my draftsmanship which would be the next bar on my ladder to reach. I knew I wouldn't improve in design if I didn't build up a stronger draftsmanship.
If you take too many artistic goals on at the same time, then you will find yourself disappointed, defeated and confidence-blow. Take one challenge on at a time. My goal during that time was to become a better draftsman.
From constently practicing drawing, reading "Drawn to Life", and analyzing Phil's solid drawings, I improved my draftsmanship a bit. Once the show was in full swing and we had designed the cast, the look of the show and a few episodes, the challenge was sort of gone. My personal goal was kind of achieved. Now the job would just become wash, rinse, repeat for the remainder years of production. The thrill and challenge was over. Where to next? I had that unsettled urge happening again. Once I reached my next bar, work all of a sudden wasn't fun because the artistic challenge that keeps artists creating, was gone. Sure, the deadlines were a challenge to meet, but the artistic challenge was dead. I really wanted to move on and find a job that challenged me in new ways. Unfortunately, jobs aren't always there to be had. So I had to say screw it and remind myself that Gravity Falls doesn't own my artistic passion. I have to keep pushing myself beyond what the show can provide.
So to gleam anything from that long personal anecdote, always keep higher goals for yourself than what's expected of you. Don't let a job's demands keep you from personally growing.
In regards to injecting "appeal" into your drawings, it's kind of hard to teach. I feel like natural appeal stems from the art that has influenced and surrounded us over the course of our lives. Not to say it can't be taught, but I personally feel like appeal comes through surrounding yourself with what you personally find appealing and shutting out the not so appealing. My influences have primarily been the early years of Disney Animation. Osmosis happens in art and is REAL. Be careful how you use it.
The internet just loves pretty girl drawings. Don't get caught in that trap if you want to have a broad visual vocabulary. Girl drawings will almost always have appeal, but it's a big cheat because women are very appealing naturally. Try to make an old man look appealing.
Learning doesn't end at school. Once you're out of school, you have to reach for that next bar for yourself without help. I know this may sound harsh, but it's something every artist has to face. The things that will make you grow are surrounding yourself with the work of artists whom you respect. SET A HIGH BAR. Don't look at work like mine or other artists just beginning their careers. Go to the source that influences THEM, then dig deeper. Not to say that modern artists and designers aren't as skilled, but there are a lot of corners you can cut and cheats you can take nowadays.
Young artists' work on the internet like the Deviant Art world is incestuous. It's hard to be of that internet group and culture and stand out from others. It's a mixing pot of lower artistic goals and less observed work. What I'm saying is broaden your influences. I know that looking at a slightly closer bar is very tempting and may seem like a more immediate and obtainable goal, but set your bar HIGH. Because the truth is, those who have a very high bar will keep growing beyond what they're producing now. If you set your bar to their current level, then they will have long surpassed you once you've reached your goal.
Have opinions! Love stuff. Hate stuff. It's totally fine to not like other's artwork. This helps define what you are and what you create as an artist.
Develop a critical eye! Look at your work and compare to your goals. Be honest with yourself of how you are performing. If you're not honest with yourself and your own work, you are stuck in the mud.
It's OK to put your work out on the internet. The industry is changing. More eyes are on blogs, than stacks of portfolios. You have to stay relevant and on people's radars. Sad, but true.
It's very rare to find a job that will hire you based on potential in you and nurture and wait until you grow artistically. There's so much competition out there and it's rough. Why hire a weaker artist with potential, than a skilled artist ready to work?
Keep drawing and don't give up. It's HARD to get better. It's hard to not want to give up at times, but you WILL get better. Don't look down at the bumps you're driving over. Look up at the horizon you're heading towards.
Be Patient. Breakthroughs will come if you keep working towards your goals.
Don't be too precious with your work. Keep 'em coming. It's totally ok to admire a personal breakthrough, just don't stop too long to admire your accomplishments. Keep moving forward.
I know this is all a lot to take in and this is just from my personal experience. Some people's goals are "I want to be a Storyboard artist for Disney" or "I want to be a director at Pixar." Or whatever it is. While these are definitely a great and clear goals, Don't think that the learning is over once you've obtained that goal. It's great to have goals like those, but be careful of making them the final destination on your creative ladder. I've learned more from working professionally than I did at school and look forward to all I have yet to learn and grow from. Always keep surprising and pushing yourself beyond where you are today.
All in all, keep your head up, eyes on the horizon, don't be afraid to hit the bumps along way, and be patient. And even though it's very difficult, try to stay positive and have fun. As artists we have an amazing gift that most people don't. Be thankful for it and use it to it's full potential.
All the best and I hope to work with you in the future!
I've been wanting to post artwork on my tumblr that inspires me as well, but I want to keep that separate from my personal work. So I've started another tumblr called "Straights Against Curves" that I plan on updating consistently full of artwork (primarily from animation) that is a huge inspiration and influence to me along with my thoughts and opinions.
If you're curious enough to follow along, here's the link: StraightsAgainstCurves.tumblr.com
"Pitt Cola" is a fictional peach-flavored soda company from Georgia that is famous for having a peach pit in the bottom of every can. It's mascot is "The Pitt Pixie". My last name is also Pitt. Conclude what you will ;-)

Two, three, four times, maybe more, he had risked everything and fled, only to be detained by the Cuban authorities or intercepted by the U.S. Coast Guard—each failure making the next attempt more urgent. Finally, in June 2012, the 21-year-old outfielder left his home in Cienfuegos, on Cuba's southern shore, and set off by car for the northern province of Matanzas, just 90 miles from Florida.

November 14, 2003
On television, "As the World Turns" chronicles the lives of fictional residents of an imaginary town. Here at JPL, physicist Dr. Jean Dickey takes the scientific approach to figure out precisely just how our world turns in real life.
Earth's rotation isn't perfectly scripted. It doesn't revolve at a uniform pace. Though a day is measured by how long it takes for the planet to make one complete revolution on its axis, some days are longer than others. Earth also wobbles on its axis, and its gravity field varies
Dickey's challenge, and that of the 9-member research group she leads, is to figure out exactly what forces and processes cause these variations and what they can tell us about the ever-changing Earth. "Everything affects Earth's rotation--the atmosphere, the oceans, topography, the tides, hydrology, earthquakes, polar motion, changes in Earth's core," says Dickey. "This allows us to study Earth as a system. Atmospheric winds, for example, cause most of the variation in Earth's rotation on timescales of a year or less – in fact, we even use weather forecasts to help predict changes in Earth's rotation."
In her sunny office, decorated with bright Impressionist prints and her own colorful photographs, Dickey spends a lot of time thinking about what goes on inside one of the darkest spots on Earth—its core. How fast or slowly Earth spins is determined by how its mass, made up of the atmosphere, the solid Earth and its fluid core, is distributed. While some variations in Earth's rotation rate last only a few weeks or a few years, some can last decades. "These very long time changes are too big to be caused by atmosphere or oceans," says Dickey. "They are the result of movement of fluid within the core, which changes Earth's mass distribution." She has published a number of papers on the subject.
Earth's gravity field is another of Dickey's research interests. Analyzing changes in gravity led to a recent paper in Science in which she and three colleagues offered an explanation for why Earth's waistline appears to be thickening. "Some people refer to it as equatorial obesity," she says. "Water has moved from the poles to Earth's midsection as a result of glacier melting and changes in ocean circulation." Dickey led a National Resources Council study on time-variable gravity, a critical tool for oceanography and solid Earth sciences. She served as president of the geodesy section of the American Geophysical Union.
Dickey's JPL research group also has a job that is particularly important to the Lab. They use the most advanced measuring techniques to determine Earth's precise orientation and what it will be at a particular time in the future. "We supply data to all the JPL missions," says Dickey. Without this information, it would be impossible to navigate spacecraft, which use Earth as a reference point for their maneuvers. "For example, Mars Pathfinder needed near real-time data for its insertion into martian orbit. The entry angle is critical--too much in one direction and the spacecraft will burn up, and too much in another direction and it will be deflected from the planet."
Dickey didn't set out to be a specialist in geodynamics and Earth rotation. The second of six children, she grew up in the suburbs of Pittsburgh, Penn. "Two thirds of the people worked in the steel mills," she says. "My father was an architectural designer for the G.C. Murphy chain of stores, but deep down he was an artist and a poet. My mother was very good in math, but times were different then, and she had her hands full with six kids."
All six graduated from college, although neither of their parents did. "We all have done something different," says Dickey, the only scientist in the group. Two of her siblings are teachers, two are in business, and one is an economist.
Like her mother, Dickey was interested in math and science. "It seemed clear to me as a way to move ahead." She went to a small liberal arts college, now St. Francis University, first studying engineering and later switching to physics. She got her first taste of the scientific life when she entered an honors program at the U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory in her senior year. Dickey completed her Ph.D. at Rutgers University in high-energy physics then served on the research faculty at the California Institute of Technology ("also known as physics heaven on Earth," she says) before moving to JPL in 1980.
When she's not working, Dickey enjoys tennis, photography, aerobics and walking. "I love art and going to botanical gardens. I'm also very fond of snorkeling in Hawaii," she says. "I could do that as a full-time job."
After more than 20 years at the laboratory, Dickey says, "I like interacting with the people here; they are very open to talking about what they're doing and they appreciate what we do. There is a great wealth of knowledge at JPL. I can look around the lab for expertise in many different areas."

Fire destroys McMinnville-based beekeeping operation
Loss placed at $2 million
Apr 27, 2013
(Paul Daquilante / N-R Reporter) AMITY — An early Saturday morning three-alarm fire caused an estimated $2 million in damage to Van Calcar Apiaries Inc., a McMinnville-based commercial bee keeping operation.
"It's a pretty big blow," owner Nick Van Calcar said. "I lost a lot of money, a lot of stuff that I have put a lot of work into over the last 13 years."
Firefighters from multiple agencies responded about 1 a.m. to the fire at 10930 S.W. River Bend Road, northwest of Amity and west of Whiteson.
Law enforcement personnel reported they could see smoke and flames from just outside McMinnville at Highway 18 and Durham Lane. The glow of the fire and smoke could also be seen from just north of the Bayou Golf Club on Highway 99W.
Van Calcar made the first call to 911. A second and third alarm were quickly sounded, bringing in personnel from many neighboring agencies. The general fire alarm sounded in McMinnville.
Ten water tenders responded because of a lack of water at the scene, according to Amity Fire Chief Bruce Hubbard. Nine engines were dispatched. About 65 firefighters battled one of the biggest blazes reported in the Yamhill Valley in recent years.
There were two separate structures. One was two stories containing more than 9,000 square feet. Van Calcar had been living on the second floor. The second building was more than 8,000 square feet. The structures were tied together. They were constructed of wood siding and had metal roofs.
It's believed the fire started on a flatbed truck, according to Hubbard, who said the cause may not be determined because of the damage. He and three other members of the Yamhill County Fire Investigation Team — two from McMinnville and one from Newberg — were at the site Sunday. Hubbard said he believes the team has completed its work. Van Calcar said he carried insurance on the property, and Hubbard said an insurance adjuster may choose to further investigate the cause.
Fifteen people employed at the business are out of work as a result of the fire.

Topic - Building a home training wall in my loft?
ti_pin_man - on 28 Nov 2012
After some effort I managed to remove the old huge water tank from my loft to clear out some storage space and the intension was to put down some boards (chipboard) to add storage space BUT...
...now I've cleared it there looks a whole lot more space than I'd thought and my mind has started asking what might be involved to build a climbing wall up there for training.
The space is 6 foot high in the middle of the roof and then drops about 45 degree slope. Its quite wide and a small 45 degree circuit board would fit in, I just need to figure out if the hassle of preparing the space is worth doing.
The loft is a pretty standard loft but does anybody know what I'd need to do to the ceiling currently in there and could i simply attach the wall to the roof joists?
I guess I cant and would need to put in a proper floor somehow in case I fell off!
Any ideas?

For 40 years, the Brown twins could be seen walking along San Francisco's streets, greeting tourists and locals alike. Standing 5-foot-1 and about 100 pounds apiece, twins Marian, left, and Vivian Brown, right, were also seen in commercials, made cameo appearances in films, appeared on talk shows and frequented civic events. They became local celebrities by walking through the city's streets in matching high-end outfits, identical hairdos and cheerful smiles.
San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee issued a statement saying Brown was a "truly remarkable woman who represented the best of our city."

About Us
Greenwise history
In May 2010 a "Greenwise Initiative" was launched by Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson to convene, coordinate and align leaders in the greater Sacramento region and establish a shared vision for a economic development plan focused on a strong green economy.
At that time the Sacramento region was facing significant challenges with rising unemployment and an economy that heavily relied on construction and government jobs–challenges that still continue today.
Greenwise planning
The Greenwise team convened more than 275 experts and community leaders during an eight-month initiative and identified challenges and opportunities through five policy committees: Energy, Green & Clean Technology, Urban Design & Green Building, Waste & Recycling and Water & Nature.
This grassroots, collaborative effort was further inspired by remarkable leaders who spoke at monthly Greenwise meetings.
Together, Greenwise participants developed a powerful vision and detailed Greenwise Regional Action Plan to grow our green economy, improve the environment and engage our communities.
Nonprofit formation
In February 2012, the Greenwise Initiative filed for status as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and became Greenwise Joint Venture.
Our mission is to be a "high-impact regional nonprofit focused on a bold vision to transform the Sacramento area into the greenest region in the country and a hub for clean technology."

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) - The University of Arizona has created a mobile application for iPhones that provides dust storm alerts and safety tips.
Available for free download on iTunes, the app uses a person's geographical location anywhere in the country to determine if there is danger of a dust storm in the area, or any other type of storm.
An Android version of the app is expected to be released later this month or next month.
The app also offers a place to list emergency phone numbers or insurance policy numbers drivers may want to have readily available in a storm.
Arizona experiences some of the worst dust storms in the country during the spring and summer months.
The storms lead to poor visibility and potentially dangerous driving conditions on the state's highways.

Johnson was ready and available to pitch out of the bullpen, but he wasn't used in the Orioles' 11-8 win over Seattle.
Johnson had been on the disabled list since June 5 with a strained left oblique and had made three rehab starts in the Gulf Coast League and with short-season Single-A Aberdeen over the past few weeks.

"[The oblique is] good," Johnson said. "It's a little tight, but for the most part, everything's good to go. Just got to do a little work to get it loose during the day."
Manager Buck Showalter said after the game that Johnson's activation had to do with Bowie's proximity and having flexibility in the bullpen. With the possibility of Roberts being out until Sunday, though, Showalter wouldn't rule out another roster move to add more depth to the bench.
"It's another advantage of having our club right there," Showalter said of Bowie. "Instead of going short, we thought our biggest potential need would be if something happened to [starter] Chris [Tillman]. You don't assume anything. Or if we get into extra innings. We had a chance for a guy to take a 50-minute ride, and if we didn't do it, I don't think that's very smart. We were talking about whether we could do something else, but I think a lot depends on what's going on with Brian, because this is a day-to-day paternity up to three days, so he could take as long as through Sunday."

Healthy meals to use up Thanksgiving leftovers
By Wendy Ruopp, November 14, 2012 - 10:08am
We have an open-door policy when it comes to Thanksgiving: we welcome in anyone who turns up. Especially this year, when the wild fall weather has made travel planning difficult and unpredictable, chances are a lot more people will be staying closer to home. Their last-minute plans mean I'll want to cook a big turkey, to make sure we have enough. Chances are good that I'll go overboard (Thanksgiving math always trips me up—is it 20 ounces per person or 20 minutes per pound?) and that means leftovers.
Good—I love leftovers. They call for creativity and resourcefulness so it doesn't taste like you're eating the same thing night after night. Here are 5 dinner recipes that use leftover turkey in deliciously new, healthy ways.
Turkey Soup: My mom always ended Thanksgiving Day with a big pot of soup simmering on the back of the stove and I like to do that too. This year, try using your leftovers in this healthy recipe for Cream of Turkey & Wild Rice Soup. After all the cooking you've been doing lately, an easy dinner that's ready in 35 minutes is something to celebrate.
Turkey-Topped Winter Salad: Sometimes (especially after a few days of pie at every meal), I'm just craving more vegetables. That makes this recipe for Warm Winter Salad a welcome way to turn turkey leftovers into a healthy main course dinner salad.
Turkey Sweet Potato Hash: If you didn't get your fill of sweet potatoes on Thanksgiving (or if you have some leftover sweet potatoes as well as leftover turkey), may I suggest this delicious Sweet Potato-Turkey Hash for dinner tonight?
Crispy Turkey Tostadas: When I'm ready to change things up, I take my leftovers south of the border for Crispy Turkey Tostadas. The creamy avocado, zesty salsa and crisp tortillas make for a snappy supper that's also ready in a snap—just 35 minutes.
Turkey & Leek Shepherd's Pie: I like to keep the cozy Thanksgiving feelings going with a classic comfort-food casserole like this Turkey & Leek Shepherd's Pie (pictured above). It helpfully combines your leftover turkey with healthy vegetables (leeks, carrots, peas) in a creamy sauce. It's also a great excuse to eat more mashed potatoes!
Don't Miss: Cheesy Pasta and More Recipes with Leftover Turkey
Turkey & Leek Shepherd's Pie
The mashed potato–covered shepherd's pie was originally created to use up the leftovers from a festive roast. This version blends peas, leeks and carrots with diced turkey, all in a creamy herb sauce. The dish is a perfect way to create a second meal with the holiday turkey but if you like, use leftover roast chicken, duck or goose.

We offer two ways to locate information:
Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.
This single-vineyard Barbera is from 15 years old vines grown in a slightly lower part of the Serraboella vineyard where the southeastern exposed soils contain more clay than calcareous limestone. It spends 18 months in neutral French oak barrels. Black cherry, black raspberry, mushroom, and earth mingle on the nose with pepper, licorice, smoke, and subtle oak spices. It has great texture and length.
"Deep layers of rich, resonant fruit emerge from the 2009 Barbera d'Alba Serraboella. There is plenty of 2009 vintage fleshiness, along with an additional dimension of volume from the aging in neutral French oak barrels, but it is the purity of the fruit that comes through most clearly in this highly engaging, utterly delicious Barbera."

San Antonio, TX (CNN) — A malfunctioning escalator is to blame for Wednesday's problem at the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center in San Antonio.
Convention spokeswoman Andrea Delaune says the victims were hurt when an escalator abruptly stopped and went in reverse.
At least 10-people were on or near the escalator at the time.A witness said one person might have been trampled in the commotion. The attendees were in the middle of a lunch break when the incident took place.
"There have been some injuries. Several people have received medical attention on site. Ten people were transported," said Delaune.
Maintenance workers say they've had problems with the escalators before.

|Stand Up/Sit Down
|Snack #2
|Students change their position from sitting to standing in response to whether they eat certain healthy snack foods.
|Students will recognize a variety of healthy snack foods.
- Tell the students to form a large circle and to sit down.
- Explain that you are going to review some healthy snack foods they can eat. Quickly review what makes a food healthy (it is low in fat and added sugar and high in nutrients).
- Ask them why they think it is important to eat healthy foods most of the time (because their bodies are growing; because food keeps them healthy and makes them strong; because too much fat and sugar can cause weight gain and health problems and slow their bodies down).
- Explain that they are going to play "Stand Up/Sit Down."
- Tell them you will call out a healthy snack food (see below).
- If they occasionally eat this food for snack, they should stand up. For example, you can say, "Yogurt." Explain that everyone who eats yogurt for snack should stand up.
- Now some students may be standing and some may be sitting. Explain that if they eat the next snack food called out, they should sit if they are standing and stand if they are sitting.
- If they have never eaten the snack food, they should remain in the same position. Continue playing while naming various healthy snack foods from each food grouping.
- You can challenge the students by calling the snack foods out faster and faster.
- If time permits, ask the students to review some healthy snack foods named.
Activity Variation
Once students get the hang of the game, invite a student to be the new leader in the center. Ensure that she or he calls out healthy options.

(CNN) – A Milwaukee mother fights fire with fire to get her daughter to understand the errors of disobeying her orders and the result is going viral.
Lorraine Walls, the mother of 12-year-old Luticia, banished her from social media after Lorraine caught her daughter talking to a young man and plotting a fight on Facebook using a fake profile.
Lorraine decided to teach her a hard lesson by posting a video on Facebook of her getting scolded for disobeying her mother's rules.
The video is going viral and has been seen by more than 500 million people.
Thousands of people are praising Walls for her disciplining tactics, but some were shocked at one of her comments.
"The next time that she's on Facebook and I catch her on Facebook, I'm beating the hell out of her," said Lorraine.
Despite the criticism, Lorraine says she won't let up on her daughter and call it tough love, in a cruel world.

31 U.S. Code § 6904 - Additional payments
(a) In addition to payments the Secretary of the Interior makes under section 6902 of this title, the Secretary shall make a payment for each fiscal year to a unit of general local government collecting and distributing real property taxes (including a unit in Alaska outside the boundaries of an organized borough) in which is located an interest in land that—
(1) the United States Government acquires for—
(b) The Secretary shall make payments only for the 5 fiscal years after the fiscal year in which the interest in land is acquired. Under guidelines the Secretary prescribes, the unit of general local government receiving the payment from the Secretary shall distribute payments proportionally to units and school districts that lost real property taxes because of the acquisition of the interest. A unit receiving a distribution may use a payment for any governmental purpose.
(c) Each yearly payment by the Secretary under this section is equal to one percent of the fair market value of the interest in land on the date the Government acquires the interest. However, a payment may not be more than the amount of real property taxes levied on the property during the last fiscal year before the fiscal year in which the interest is acquired. A decision on fair market value under this section may not include an increase in the value of an interest because the land is rezoned when the rezoning causes the increase after the date of enactment of a law authorizing the acquisition of an interest under subsection (a) of this section.

Last week I had the opportunity to once again attend and present at the Upstate Technology Conference (UTC) in Greenville, SC. This is one of my FAVORITE conference to attend. Not only because I get to meet up with my friends from around the State, but because the sessions I attend here provide me with new knowledge and challenge my thinking.
My sessions were ones I've done previously at the ETV Workshops, Aiken TechFest, and other venues. My morning session, Web 2.0 Speed Dating, went very well and I was pleased to have a fellow Aikenite there (sorry I can't remember his name, but he works at LBC Middle!) This session has never bothered me and has typically gone very well. It is my afternoon session that continues to bother me – "Evernote to the Rescue!" I have varied my delivery, updated the content, re-organized the content, and more, to no avail. The session just doesn't satisfy me. Oh, it's not the topic – I LOVE EVERNOTE! I think I finally hit the nail on the head – it's the TIMING of the session. I think I'm so pumped up in the morning – I'm borderline hyper – and so tired in the afternoon that it is ME that is the problem, not the content. You see every time I've done these workshops I've done them in the same order – Web 2.0 in the morning and Evernote in the afternoon. And every time I feel the same – happy about the morning session and blah about the afternoon session. So from now on I'm going to ask to do one session on both days in the morning instead of both session on the same day.
I attended Tamara Cox's session on cell phones and learned some new and interesting ways to utilize the tools in the library and classroom. Unfortunately, cell phones are verboten in my district. Until this changes I'm limited in what I can and cannot offer in terms of services/programs using cell phones. She did have some tools that we can use our iPod Touches and some that can be used outside of school that I will be exploring.
I attended Chris Craft's session on student engagement – and while I still think there is such a thing as intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, I agree that the issue is complicated and engagement means something different to everyone (both to the teacher and the student!) That motivation and engagement are individualized and we should be customizing our instruction and delivery for each student. We shouldn't "assume" we know what motivates a student – we should build relationships with each student to learn how best to serve their needs. That's easy for me to say as what I do in the library is customized for each patron – for the most part. Yes, some instruction is group and is a one-size fits all, but ultimately we help each student as each student needs (or wants) us.
Another great session I attended was Pat Hensley's session on QR codes. While I know how to create and scan QR codes, it was great to hear other examples of how to incorporate QR codes into the curriculum. I think I got the most fun out of assisting the two "novices" next to me in how to text to Poll Everywhere and then scan QR codes! Seeing them get excited about something new made me happy! It reminded me how I realized in my Web 2.0 session that while I'm familiar with tools that I've been using for years, there are still teachers out there who haven't even heard of them.
My only disappointment with a session was one on the Nook eReaders given by representatives from Barnes & Nobel. I went hoping to hear tips on how to use it and/or incorporate it into the classroom/library. Instead I left early after (whether intentional or not) they lied about another company's eReader. Guys, you don't have to bad mouth other products to sell your own – it should stand on it's own merits. And trust me, the Nook will hold up without how you went about selling it to your audience. I know, I have a Nook Color and it is a pretty sweet device. I also have a Sony eReader, a Kindle, and an iPad. So I know what each can and can't do – and what you said made me sad. This is why I walked out on your pitch. If it was because you just don't know the other products, then DON'T discuss them – just say I'm not sure how the other product works. DON'T lie to me. I'm just sayin'.
But on a brighter note, as always the most fun is gathering with my colleagues and friends. In fact, I missed some sessions just because we were too busy talking to make it to a session on time. Thanks Pat for remembering to take pictures. Every year I say I'm going to and every year I never pull out my camera. Sigh.
