Teacher finds value in student feedback
Turkeesa Helton, an 8th grade Language Arts teacher, is working during her planning period at Bellevue Middle School dressed in a plaid shirt, necktie and argyle socks as part of Tacky Day for Homecoming Week.
Her willingness to participate in the school's activities isn't the only reason students may think she's pretty cool.
Her Tripod scores say so.
The Tripod is a survey in which students evaluate their teachers by providing feedback on their classroom experiences according to the 7C's: caring, controlling, clarifying, challenging, captivating, conferring and consolidating. Students evaluate teachers by rating statements, such as "My teacher knows when the class understands and when we do not."
The scores account for five percent of the new evaluation model, the Teacher Effectiveness Measure (TEM), to rate teachers. Memphis City Schools (MCS) is the only school district in the nation to use student perception as an evaluation component.
Helton, who's been teaching for 12 years, was one of 120 MCS teachers randomly selected last fall to participate in the Tripod 7C's Professional Development Research Project, which included Tripod training and professional development consultancy.
"I think students should have a voice in the way they're educated," Helton said. "It could be very beneficial to know the students' perspective and perception of you because it can help you realize what you need to do to possibly improve your class to make it better for them."
Students district-wide were administered the survey. Teachers were to receive a detailed report on their Tripod scores last week.
"After getting some scores (from the pilot), I'm comfortable with where I am," said Helton. "I'm tough, but my rapport with the kids is good. They know I respect them, and they respect me."
Monica Jordan, coordinator of Reflective Practice and Teacher Support, said the Tripod and observation components work together to help enhance teachers' classroom experience.
"The (Tripod) results enable teachers to focus on his or her craftsmanship. Both sources of data offer an ongoing and fluid dialogue about which to best support teachers' goals and continuous growth towards accelerating student achievement."
After scores are released, teachers can take advantage of professional development consultancy and opportunities to improve where scores may indicate. Helton attended a differentiated learning conference last summer in Chicago. She said the survey, along with the professional development can help all teachers.
"That's beneficial, especially to a new teacher," she said, adding, "Not just for new teachers, but for veteran teachers, too.... to know, 'You're doing a good job, but this is an area you can focus on more and try to improve upon.'"

Weaving project 59: A rothko inspired cushion cover
On the wall in our spare bedroom/my craft space is a Rothko print. I love the colours of it. I bought a long, thin cushion a few years ago that is similar in colour palette. And decided I wanted to weave another one.
Amongst my collection of Rico Creative Cotton's were some well matched yellows (light yellow and tangerine). So that was that part of the plan sorted out.
When I was doing my planning, I got my figures wrong in both dimensions. It ended up being thinner than it could have been. And I didn't allow enough for loom waste. Since changing my warping method, my loom waste allowance has increased. But hasn't stabilised yet. For the short term I need to over estimate to ensure that I don't end up with too short a warp. Lesson #1.
The pattern I chose was "Paired warp floats in alternating blocks" from the Weaver's Idea book. This used two pick up sticks alternating every other repeat. I didn't find having to put the second pick up stick back in too much of an annoyance. Which is good.
Having watched some more of my weaving video, I bought and used craft paper on this project to wind the warp. It is much stiffer and has worked to help even out the tension. A good change. And one I'll keep. Lesson #2.
This was the second time that I've attempted to make the entire cushion cover in woven fabric. The previous attempt failed. This time didn't go quite as well as I'd hoped either. The fabric I produced wasn't quite as long as I'd wanted. It was 4 or so inches short which made it just about possible but tight. It also ended up being rather thick when all folded together. Too thick for my poor sewing machine. I broke one needle before deciding to hand sew the rest. Lesson #3.
Having sourced a cushion inner, the back gapes a bit. So I've used magnetic poppers to hold it in place. Not an ideal or elegant solution but it works. And no photographic evidence of that I'm afraid.
Despite the fact that it hasn't turned out quite as planned, I still like the finished object. The colour match has worked out well. The gold dominates despite only being the warp colour. And the pattern looks like it did in my mind before I started out. I've also got some learnings to take away with me and apply to the next projects.
I have another cushion planned for weaving project 61. This time with thinner yarns. And I'm only planning to weave the front panel and go back to having a thinner cotton back section. My sewing machine will be relieved.
WP58: First attempt at Doni's Deli bag
Towards the end of last year Meg posted that she'd made a Doni's Deli bag. This was the first time I'd seen it and I loved the idea. It took me a while to get brave enough to give it a try but in early June I got planning. I measured my current work bag and decided that would be a good guide. And it pretty much matched Doni's own calculations so I knew I was on the right track. I'd enjoyed doing pick-up stick weaving so decided to do some more of that. I wanted the bag to be mainly black. But with highlight colours. I decided to use more of the Rico Creative Cotton Aran yarn as it is nice and chunky. And so picked out turquoise and fuchsia from the colours available. I picked a pattern from my blanket that I knew would result in a dense fabric and show the colours off well.
I used my warping board to sort the warp threads out. And it is a good job I did because I doubt there is a room in my house long enough to have managed otherwise. I slotted in the pick up stick using the 3/1 floats alternating with plain-weave picks pattern from the Weaver's Idea book. And off I went. I immediately loved the colours and pattern.
It took me quite a few weekends to weave but I was in no rush. It all went to plan but I did have to thread some weights on to my selvedge threads to keep tension as they were starting to sag a bit. It came off the loom well and after an inspection I found one flaw which was easily mendable.
I wet finished it by putting it in the washing machine at a 95 degrees C wash and a 600 spin cycle. I needed it to be a robust fabric. I air dried it without blocking.
The following weekend I started the assembly process. I machine stitched the hems and chopped off the fringe. And then started folding things together. I got myself into a bit of a mess at once stage when I realised I'd twisted the strap element and so had to unstitch. Annoying and a bit scary. I think I was so anxious I forgot to think. But I restitched it and following the idea I spotted on someone else's blog stitched the strap underneath to get a clean finish.
The last phase was sewing in the lining. I looked in my fabric stash and found enough plain black cotton. Having sketched a few ideas down I thought I could do a sewn-in-pocket idea. A bit like a craft roll idea. So I went to my local fabric shop and found some great pink fabric to use as the pocket fabric. I followed this inner constructing tutorial again. I decided that for my keys I'd make a cord and clip and sew it into the lining. Out came the fringe twister again. I think I've only used it twice to fringe twist but I've used it lots of times to make cord. I measured pockets for keys, two pens, my phone and then left the rest. I ladder stitched the assembled inner to the bag itself. And took it outside for a photo shoot.
I've been using it as my work bag for the last week or so. The only change I've made is to buy a set of magnetic clips so that the bag has a closure. I need to follow the zip tutorial soon and get over my fear. I've been saying this all year but there seems to be always something else that needs doing.
It isn't the perfect bag by any means. But it has been a great learning project.
Things I'm pleased I did:
- tried it using aran
- used such a thick pick up pattern
- used those colours
- sewed the strap together in the middle
- used the sizing I did
Things I'd change:
- use less pattern to make the joins less noticeable
- use the colours more as a central stripe. Again this should make the join less noticeable
- sew it up right handed. I've made a left handed bag
- make the key pocket a little bit bigger. It is quite a tight squeeze
- have enough fabric to sew up the bottom of the inner. I only had enough to fold the black fabric together so there is nothing holding the pink pocket closed at the bottom
Weaving project 60 is set up on the loom next to me as I write. It is set up to make another one of these. This time using a 4 ply yarn and patterns and colours only in the centre. I should be able to see what difference those make to the finished article. And because the weaving element will be slow I'll be able to see how this bag ages before assembling the next one.
A fun project and I'm enjoying being able to use something I made from scratch as my work bag.
- tried it using aran
Mildly disturbing product messaging
Just a couple of examples of marketing messaging that I've noticed, but not necessarily for the right reasons.
Firstly, my apple juice was a bit over friendly. I'm not sure I want my apple juice to speak to me. It's a bit Restaurant at the end of the universe.
and then I bought a bag of dog treats for the dog which encourages me to call them and bark at them. Kinky!
Kindle helper scripts now in ruby
In recent months the length of time it was taking to run my applescript version of the Kindle Helper Scripts was getting out of hand. It was upwards of 3 hours. Time for a refactor. As I wrote at the time my knowledge of applescript was basic so this wasn't a great suprise. I decided to rewrite using ruby as I'm doing some ruby scripting at work. And as it is vaguely related to my day job I got to spend a couple of hours doing it as part of a hack afternoon. It is always good to have a real project to practice new languages in after all.
The new script takes seconds to run instead of hours. So is much more usable. It runs from the command line. It has 3 parameters, the first 2 of which are essential:
- Parameter 1: path to the My Clippings.txt file
- Parameter 2: path to the folder where the output is to go
- Parameter 3: (optional) an indicator that the location should be output (i.e. page number, line number etc)
Here's how I call it:
ruby parse_my_clippings.rb "/Users/jane/Dropbox/My Clippings.txt" "/Users/jane/Dropbox/Clippings"
I've tested it using ruby 2.1.2 on a mac. And a different 2.0+ version on a pc. It works using the format of My Clippings.txt from my kindle (which is in English). If you have a different set up to this then YMMV.
- Parameter 1: path to the My Clippings.txt file

(WMC-TV) - Residents in West Memphis were without water for a second day, as samples were sent to Arkansas state health officials for testing. The city remains under a boil water alert.
The utility department said they had to shut off water Tuesday night to
replace a pump. Water should be restored before early Wednesday morning.
School was canceled again Tuesday due to the water problem.
Water was non-existent for the city until Tuesday, when repairs caused a brownish liquid to trickle out of faucets.
"It comes out looking clear but when it settles you see what it looks when it settles," said Tina Roe, who lives in West Memphis.
An Arkansas Health Department boil water notice is still in effect.
West Memphis Utility Commission officials say the discoloration is not a major problem.
"When a system goes down, a lot of time iron breaks loose in the lines and stuff and discolors the water. There's nothing at this time that can be done," said West Memphis Utility Commission Director of Environmental Quality Denise Bosnick.
On Monday, the utility company blamed cold weather-related mechanical failures in the system. Five high service pumps froze interrupting service periodically. One problem would get fixed and another would pop up.
"And then we came across this issue this morning with an 18-inch distribution line that busted," explained Bosnick. "And when it blew there was no way to distribute water, but we are running now."
The utility company says it will take a while before full pressure is restored and the brown disappears.
"Hopefully there won't be a surprise in the morning," said Bosnick.
Since the boil water alert is still in effect, residents should not consume water without boiling it first. Unless you have open wounds, it is safe to shower and bathe with the water.

Exercise Equipment and Fitness Equipment Guide
Now get in shape without leaving the house!
There's little
that exercise and a sensible diet
contribute to a healthy lifestyle. The only question these days, it
seems, is when you're going to be able to find time to work
Fortunately, there's a bevy of equipment available for use
your home, saving you from having to figure out what to do with the
kids while you make the time-consuming trip to the gym. Home gyms and
dumbbells allow you to tone muscles while elliptical machines and
treadmills offer a cardiovascular workout. Other equipment, such as
abdominal machines and stretching machines, allow for a more specific
focus. Consider the following questions to learn more about the vast
array of home exercise equipment available and how each item can fit
into your busy life:
Training, Cardiovascular, Abdominals and Other
Equipment: There are a
number of
different machines that can be used to improve cardiovascular health,
including elliptical machines, treadmills, exercise bikes, rowing
machines and stair steppers. Each one provides a slightly different
workout, with treadmills, bikes and stair steppers emphasizing the
lower body while elliptical and rowing machines provide more of a
full-body workout. Always test equipment before purchasing, if
possible. You want to make sure that it operates smoothly and, in the
case of treadmills, has a solid, secure base. Make sure that you
measure carefully to ensure that you have ample room to install the
machine in your home. Prices vary greatly, depending on how many
features a machine has and how technologically sophisticated it is.
Though they may cost a little extra, machines with electronic displays
that allow you to program a variety of different workouts may be worth
the money. The chart below describes each type of machine and details
some of the features to look for and benefits of use.

Will PlayStation 4 Prove to Be Sony's Savior?
Shas is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
The unveiling (if it could be called one) of Sony's (NYSE: SNE) PlayStation 4 (PS4) was unique in its own way. There was all talk about how it will work, interface, graphics et al, but the device was not shown. Games were projected on the screen, but the actual device was hidden, leaving it on those present to imagine how it will look. At best it could be called an announcement of intention that kept everyone guessing. Officially, Sony announced that it would be released in the holiday season of 2013.
The other thing that people might be wondering after the event is the reason behind it. Was it to lift market sentiment in an effort to help the underperforming Sony stock?
Sony Corporation
Sony, popularly known as an electronics and entertainment company, is engaged in a host of activities. Apart from electronic and entertainment products that include televisions, cameras personal computers and a wide range of audio and video equipment, semiconductors, optical pickups and recording media and systems, it also provides life and non-life insurance , banking and credit finance services. The company's mobile segment offers Sony Ericsson mobile phones.
Sony has been reporting losses continuously for the last three years. The results for FY 2012-2013 are awaited and will be released sometime after March 30, 2013.

The company's dismal performance is reflected in the performance of its stock:
For the last five years, SNE stock has been lagging behind the benchmark S&P 500 Index, more so in the last three years.
Sony had every reason to lift sagging sentiments with some good news, but was it market sentiment that it was hoping to boost or its own? It may benefit the company's partners in PlayStation 4 as well.
A Brief Introduction of PlayStation 4
PS4 will be the fourth version of the company's non-portable gaming console, the first in seven years. As it is with new versions, Sony will upgrade hardware and offer the latest graphics and processing technology. The new version features:
- Processor: A PC-type processor (x84 AMD Jaguar 8-core), the ultimate in gaming processors.
- RAM: An 8-GB DDRS RAM, again the best available.
- GPU: A huge amount of graphics processing, made available with 1.84 teraflop GPU.
- USB 3.0: USB 3.0 transmits data 10 times faster than the earlier USB 2.0.
- Optical drive: Blu-ray/DVD optical drive for users who prefer gaming discs over cloud and Internet-only gaming.
- Controller: Dual Shock 4 Controller that features a button for sharing and/or viewing the last few moments of game-play and a touchpad.
- Social media connectivity: The sharing button also allows social media integration for digital connectivity with friends.
- Software: New features in software include ability to connect PS4 to PlayStation Vita, high speed streaming and an on/off button that allows resuming the game from you left even when you turn the console off in the middle of a game.
Market Response
If Sony was hoping to lift market sentiment with the so-called unveiling of PlayStation 4, it failed miserably. The stock fell 2.7%, losing more than what it had gained in two days prior to the event. However, the real impact on Sony's revenues/profit as well as on the performance of its stock will be known only after PS4 is launched and made available.
Although not related to the PS4 event, shares of Advanced Micro Devices (NYSE: AMD) also did not also respond positively on the day after. The stock took a 7.8% hit on the day after the event. AMD is a global semiconductor company whose x84 AMD Jaguar 8-core processor will power the PS4. For the last two quarters, AMD has been missing revenue estimates and writing down inventories. PS4 could well be a heaven sent opportunity for the company, which has been gasping for fresh air due to fall in PC and server businesses.
Activision Blizzard (NASDAQ: ATVI) is another stock to watch. The company announced that it is developing Diablo III for PlayStation. The PS3/PS4 version of this award winning action game will be based on the same critically acclaimed core experience of the PC version.
ATVI is a developer and publisher of online, personal computer (PC), console, handheld, and mobile interactive entertainment software. Apart from Diablo, the company also has popular games such as World of Warcraft and the Warcraft and StarCraft in its portfolio.
What the Future Holds for Sony
A bit of history will not be out of place here.
Sony's PS3 was launched in November 2006. Initially, it did not sell very well. However, in the following months the stock rallied, touching a high of $57.09 in June 2007. The stock traded between $40-50 until June 2008, after which the downfall started.
History may repeat itself when the PS4 is released in the "holiday season 2013."
However, there is a slight difference this time. A weak Japanese yen means that Sony's exports will be valued higher this time. As against 117.88 yen to a dollar in November 2006, it is now 93.20 yen to a dollar. Moreover, Sony is now more alive to consumer needs. As Sony Computer Entertainment President Andrew House said at the event "now the consumer is changing us," whereas earlier Sony was changing the "gaming landscape." Considering customer preferences, Sony has changed its focus. "From mobility to multiformat play, to greater community engagement, as well as platforms designed to enable access to entertainment, social media and more, the demands for a new platform were clear."
From what was revealed at the event, the new PS4 has all that it takes to attract gaming enthusiasts. I expect that it will sell and give Microsoft's (NASDAQ: MSFT) Xbox 360 a run for its money this holiday season.
Xbox 360, which sold 281,000 units in January 2013, has been the number one gaming console continuously for the last 25 months. Also, there are expectations that Microsoft too is likely to come up with a new version of Xbox 360. The rumors, which have been going around for quite some years now, have gained fresh momentum after the news of PS4. The tussle between the two would be interesting to watch if a new Xbox version is also launched this holiday season.
Although not related to PS4, the news that this March Sony will post a $1.23 billion operating profit as a result of the sale of 6% of its consolidated subsidiary, M3, is a big plus for the stock. At the CMP, Sony looks attractive for holding long term.

Cartagena, Colombia's architecture, culture, history and people define this old fortressed city. I walk past the home of Gabriel García Márquez, dreaming of Love in the Time of Cholera. The summer heat is all consuming as I travel down the narrow, winding cobblestone streets seeking my own inspiration. Casa no. 3, a small home on a side street, captures my attention. The front door's design, color and vintage lion knocker tell me without entering that someone of importance to this community, someone with standing, someone with style, lived here hundreds of years ago. But among an array of colorful doors with elaborate knockers, this door is not seeking to be noticed. Only those who travel their own path would ever find and experience its classic beauty. Here, at Casa no. 3, I have found the inspiration for Sandra Cadavid.

I designed this artfully, hand-woven clutch to have a classic yet chic appearance. Made from custom dyed high quality leather and custom silver-plated hardware, the Sofia Clutch is suited for fun and casual days or evening cocktails with friends. Also available in Sedona.
Each handbag is handcrafted from custom high quality leather, using colors reserved only for my collection. I selected the leather for its quality, color variation, and striking appearance that becomes more distinct with time. My bags also include custom designed hardware that, depending on the bag, is 24 Karat gold-plated, silver-plated or a vintage finish. My partners in Cali, Colombia construct all the bags by hand; a laborious process with results that are unmatched in the industry.
I maintain a small inventory of the bags, and am able to ship any bags in inventory at the time of purchase.

Peter Schmuck grades the Orioles (Week 26)
Every Monday during the regular season, Orioles columnist Peter Schmuck grades the cumulative performance of the Orioles in six major areas during the previous week.
Image 1 of 7
Starting rotation( Greg M. Cooper, USA TODAY Sports / September 19, 2013 )
It's hard to pin the club's inability to climb up the wild-card standings last week on the starting rotation, considering that not one starter gave up more than three runs in any of the six games against the Red Sox and Rays. Some of them came up an inning or so short of registering a quality start, but that wasn't a huge factor since the bullpen pitched well enough to make those performances stand up with even an average offensive attack. Still, next year's focus will have to be on getting the starters into the seventh inning more consistently.

Telugu action-drama 'Ramayya Vasthavayya', starring Junior NTR, Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Shruti Haasan, will hit screens on October 11.
Producer Dil Raju is confident about 'Ramayya Vasthavayya' doing well at the box office.
"Ramayya Vasthavayya is high on family quotient, and I'm sure it will appeal to the masses. Also, the delay in the release has created a good buzz around it," said Dil Raju in an interview with IANS.
The film was earlier scheduled to release in September, but it was postponed due to the ongoing political turmoil in Andhra Pradesh.
Directed by Harish Shankar, 'Ramayya Vasthavayya' also stars Vidyullekha Raman, P Ravi Shankar, Rao Ramesh, Paruchuri Prasad, Hamsa Nandini and Kota Srinivasa Rao.

Recipe: Pickled jalapenos and vegetables Rosa's style – Warmth on my tongue
The crimson specimens among the jalapenos are the elders, of course, mellower in their ripening.
Last week, as the snow was howling sideways outside my office windows, I thought of the pickled jalapenos I made with a batch of chiles from the North Tonawanda Farmer's Market.
Beets, carrots, lime, thyme – it's all good in pickled jalapenos and vegetables.
It wasn't the heat I craved. I like spicy food, compared to the average Western New York palate, but I'm not much of a chile daredevil, one of the guys who measures their manhood in Scoville units.
No, what I missed about these pickled jalapenos was their flavor, and the way the long soak in vinegar brine, allspice bay leaves and sprigs thyme had lent the jalapenos' warming power to the neighboring beets, onions, carrots and garlic cloves in an entirely civil way.
The recipe in "Rosa's New Mexican Table" calls for jalapenos, onions, carrots, and garlic cloves, but I had some lovely Chiogga beets from our Native Offerings share, and they were a terrific addition. (The recipe suggests that green beans, mushrooms, cauliflower and nopales, or cactus paddles, would also work.)
The crock seemed like it lasted forever in my fridge, but I've missed it since. I've found myself eyeing the jalapenos in the supermarket when I don't even need to be in the peppers section.
Rosa's pickled jalapenos
From "Rosa's New Mexican Table"
20 medium jalapenos
1/2 cup olive oil
2 medium white onions, peeled and quartered
2 large carrots, peeled and cut into 2-inch chunks
24 garlic cloves, peeled
3 cups cider vinegar
1 cup water
3 tablespoons salt
3 bay leaves
4 thyme sprigs
4 marjoram sprigs (which I omitted)
1/2 lime, in 1/2-inch slices
1-1/2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons prepared mustard
12 allspice berries, crushed
1/2 teaspoon black peppercorns, crushed
Cut two slits in each jalapeno. Heat the oil in a deep non-aluminum pot over medium-low heat. Add jalapenos, carrots, onions, and garlic and cook, stirring often, until the vegetables are softened but not browned, about 10 minutes.
Add the vinegar, water, salt, bay leaves, thyme, marjoram, lime, sugar, mustard, allspice and peppercorns. Bring to a boil, then lower heat to a simmer, and cook for 15 minutes. Turn off heat and let cool.
Pack vegetables and their liquid into clean glass jars. Will keep for 6 weeks, as long as they're refrigerated and the vegetables are covered in liquid.
Pickled jalapenos get better as they sit for a month, as their heat dies down.

I was reluctant to lose my HU, but took the plunge and only have the WS-420sq and have been fine with it. It has the 3.5mm and the RCA inputs so I can swap between 2 phones or whatever. It's been fine. I've had to put in a remote turn on lead to power it on/off, but that was easy.
I put the WS420sq in the spot where the deck was and got a 1/2 din pocket to use up the extra space.

The mystery surrounding the disappearance of an 80-year-old Millcreek man continued Tuesday, while Syracuse police also searched for a missing resident.
Fritz B. Helland last spoke with a relative on Oct. 24, indicating he was about to take his dog, a black-and-tan miniature Doberman pinscher (Minpin), for a walk. Helland has struggled with short-term memory loss but previously had no reported difficulty in finding his way back to his home in the 3400 South block of Plaza Way in Millcreek.

Anyone with information about this case is urged to call Unified Police Department at 801-743-7000.
Meanwhile, Syracuse police were seeking the public's help in locating a man missing for more than a week.
Kenneth Wayne Wallace, 41, walked out of his Syracuse home on Oct. 21 and has not been seen or heard from since. Family members say it is unusual for Wallace to be out of contact for such a long time.
Wallace, who was not believed to have a cellphone with him, is described as a 5-foot-9, 170-pound white man with brown eyes and hair and a goatee. When last seen, he was wearing a black hat,black jacket, jeans, and flip flops. Anyone with information on the case is urged to contact Syracuse police at 801-825-4400.

Altogether, the Lewis and Clark Expedition traveled some 7,500 miles from St. Louis, Missouri, to the Pacific Ocean and back. Of this total, about 5,500 miles were along the Missouri River and its tributaries, some 1,000 miles were overland, and about 1,000 miles followed the Columbia River system.
Along this route, the Expedition occupied approximately 393 separate campsites. Where the original scene has not yet been disturbed, historians, archeologists, and others have been able to identify their approximate location. However, many of the campsites and other physical traces of the Expedition have been flooded out by water control structures that have been built along the Missouri and Columbia Rivers and their tributaries. Along the overland route where the Expedition crossed and recrossed the Continental Divide, many of the campsite have been identified and most have been marked. The marking and designations, however, have been carried out by various Federal, State, and local agencies, private organizations, and individuals with little or no continuity or coordination among sponsors.
Provisions for conservation of natural resources and opportunities for outdoor recreation experiences along the Expedition route vary greatly. Even though some 1,700 miles of the Expedition route fall within the overall boundaries of National Forests, National Wildlife Refuges, Public Domain Lands, State and local parks, actual public control may exist over only about one-half that distance.
Of the entire route, only one substantial section remains as the primitive and majestic wilderness that Lewis and Clark found during their journey. This is the 180-mile section of the upper Missouri River from the Fort Peck Reservoir to Fort Benton, Montana, much of which still remains in the public domain.
Adjacent to the Lewis and Clark Expedition route, 896 sites, containing about 2 million acres, possess resources suitable for outdoor recreation and for the protection of wildlife. If acquired and developed for public benefit, such areas would contribute substantially to the creation of a "recreation ribbon" along the Expedition route.
A network of good first-class highways now parallels much of the route. If appropriately marked, these roads would make it possible for automobile travelers to visit the Expedition campsites and to follow the route rather closely as it winds across the plains, the mountains, and through the Pacific Northwest. Many of these roads, now under a combination of Federal, State, and local jurisdictions and financing arrangements, possess considerable scenic qualities which, with certain improvements, could provide continuity and access to the "recreation ribbon" of historic, wildlife, and other areas along the route.
To establish a Lewis and Clark Trail and to provide a general framework for continuing action by the individual States and Federal agencies, the following actions are recommended:
1. A continuous, convenient, and attractive highway Trail for the public to use in retracing the whole or parts of the route of the Lewis and Clark Expedition should be provided. Initially, this Trail can be established by selecting and marking existing roads. Gradually, the roads can be improved by better surfaces, greater width, realignment, and, in some cases, new locations. Driving pleasure along this route can be enhanced further by securing scenic easements or establishing zoning regulations, establishing wayside parks at appropriate intervals, and providing ready access to the historic, wildlife, and other recreation resources along the way.
2. A common Lewis and Clark Trail sign should be adopted and used to mark the Trail throughout its length.
3. Facilities should be provided along the water route for the use of boaters following the Lewis and Clark Trail.
4. A hiking and horseback Trail should be constructed to follow as closely as possible the Expedition's water and overland route.
5. Public agencies should acquire and develop those major segments of the water and overland route that possess important historic, wildlife, scenic, and other recreation resources.
6. Each State should establish a Lewis and Clark Trail Committee to coordinate the development of the Lewis and Clark Trail Program.
7. Each State Trail Committee should develop an educational program to inform the public of the historic, wildlife, and other recreation resources available along the Trail.
8. Interpretation should be provided at appropriate points along the Trail to tell the story of the Expedition and to enhance public understanding of its contribution and importance to American history.
9. Control of sewage and industrial waste disposal should be accelerated, particularly to improve recreation opportunities along the lower reaches of the Missouri River.
10. Private enterprise should be encouraged to provide lodging, meal, and other services of good quality at moderate rates and at carefully planned intervals along the Trail.
The newly established Lewis and Clark Trail Commission, assisted by the Bureau of Outdoor Recreation, should assume the leadership in coordinating and supporting the activities of the participating Federal agencies, States, their political subdivisions, and private enterprise. The financing of the highway marking and improvement can be assisted through the Federal Aid Highway program. Much of the acquisition and development of the associated historic, wildlife, and other recreation resources can receive financial assistance from the Land and Water Conservation Fund.

A collision near 61st Avenue and Cactus Road Tuesday morning has claimed the life of a 17-year-old Peoria High School student, who was crossing the street when he was hit.
According to Glendale Police Sgt. Brent Coombs, the victim attempted to run across Cactus Road at 61st Avenue, from south to north, on the eastside of the intersection.
"The juvenile appears to have been in or near the eastside crosswalk, but he attempted to cross against a red traffic signal which resulted in a westbound vehicle on Cactus Road striking him," said Coombs.
Coombs adds that life saving measures were taken by witnesses, but unfortunately, the teen passed away at the scene about 7 a.m.
The victim had no identification on him, but investigators later found that the 17-year-old was a student within the Peoria Unified School District.
School officials later identified the victim as Peoria High School student Jeremy Skramstad. He previously attended Ironwood High School and an elementary school in the area.
Investigators say there were no signs of impairment on the female driver involved and there is no evidence of any improper driving on her part.
Students took to Twitter to express their condolences for the victim and to thank the girls who started a prayer circle.
@SydnieGee: "Rest in peace to the Ironwood student who passed away today! You are in everyone's prayers."
@alexisdillaaard: "Ironwood just came together like a family. That was absolutely amazing #proudtobeaneagle
A candlelight vigil was held at 7 p.m. at Desert Valley Park located at Sweetwater and 61st Ave. Students asked each other to wear white.
Skramstad's girlfriend Elizabeth attended the vigil and told FOX 10, "He's a sweetheart. He helped me through a lot more stuff before we were ever together, even when he was a stranger he helps a lot of people."
Statement by Peoria Unified School District
The Peoria and Ironwood High School communities have been informed and share in the loss this family is suffering. On behalf of the entire Peoria Unified School District, we extend our heartfelt condolences to the family.
When we learned of this tragedy, we immediately mobilized our crisis intervention team and counselors who will be available throughout the week on both campuses for students who need support during this difficult time.
Blooming Days Floral and Gifts (623-556-1188) in Surprise is offering half off flowers and free delivery of flowers to help with funds for flowers and the ceremony for Jeremy.

Apple sells 3 million iPads: So what?
Record weekend sales obscure the company's larger issues. The tablet simply isn't the undisputed steamroller that Apple is used to.
The backs of Apple (AAPL) employees must look sunburned after the company spent Monday patting them for selling 3 million iPads this weekend. But what does that number really mean?
In Apple's world, sales numbers often swirl into a cider that looks impressive and smells just fine, but mellows after a bit of fermentation. Right now, 3 million sales of Apple's new iPad Mini and its updated full-sized model look brag-worthy."Customers around the world love the new iPad mini and fourth-generation iPad," CEO Tim Cook crowed in an Apple statement. "We set a launch weekend record and practically sold out of iPad minis."
Those 3 million iPads are more than double the record 1.5 million iPads the company sold during a similar span in March after releasing its third-generation iPad. They are also more than 20% of the 14 million iPads Apple sold last quarter and more than half of the 5 million iPads Apple sold in 2010 after the first version of the device debuted in April of that year.
The iPad's story, however, is no longer strictly about sales, but about the context of those sales.
The 14 million iPads Apple sold in its final quarter were an 18% drop from the quarter before as fans put off purchases until the company released its next big thing. Even though the company still sold 26% more iPads than it did the year before, the combination of lost sales and the increased overhead of iPad Mini production led Apple to miss earnings estimates and dial back its forecast for holiday sales in the first quarter.
Part of the problem is that the iPad isn't the undisputed steamroller Apple grew accustomed to with the iPod and iPhone. The iPad held about half of the overall tablet market in the third quarter, according to IDC, and doubled the share of second-place Samsung. However, Samsung partner Google (GOOG), Amazon (AMZN) and others have produced low-priced, highly acclaimed competitors in recent months and have gnawed away roughly 10 percentage points of Apple's tablet market share in the last year. While the iPad more than quadrupled unit sales between fiscal 2010 and 2011, sales in fiscal 2012 grew only 59% by comparison.
The other issue is that Apple is now staking the iPad's success to a product that brings in less per unit than the original-recipe iPad. The latest Retina-display iPad starts at $499, while the Mini is only a third smaller while knocking $170 off the price. Consumers may love what the smaller iPad does to their wallet, but it comes at a cost to Apple's margins.
If Apple fans and investors remain confident about the iPad in the comment fields, they're somewhat less so on the market floor. Apple's share price has more than tripled in the last two years and is still up by more than 40% this year, but dropped by $100 between April and May and has fallen more than 17% since the iPhone 5 was released in September.
Apple had a good weekend, but the iPad still has a whole lot of work ahead before the holidays.
More from Top Stocks
This article is highly ignorant.
For example, just because an ipad mini costs less than an ipad, does NOT mean it costs Apple's margins. What matters is how much the profit is on each of those. IMO, with its cheaper components and still high cost, the ipad mini probably has a very high profit margin. The author makes the opposite case without specifying any facts.
"Wait til Windows 8 tablet gets in full swing with the bugs worked out. The Ipad will be a thing of the past. Gone with the wind. Windows 8 RT ect is a full OS almost capable Tablet that can do a 100 more things than a Ipad could even imagine.. Apple will have to put a almost full version like Mac Osx like system to continue to be in competition with the others"
Didnt we hear this with every iteration from Microsoft? The Zune was going to kill the Ipod. The WIndows Phone 7 was going to kill the iphone. Hell they said that about MacOS and its still going strong. Should Apple rest on its laurels? No. WIll it become a thing of the past? Doubtful. There is still the 'wow" factor with owning an ipad or iphone and I don't think that will go away any time soon.
apple is holding back on upgrade performance to keep selling the latest technology as one little peice of cheese at a time. right now apple is laughing all the way to the bank holding on to a niche market of geeks and the glutans that have to have what they don't need.
the catch up suppliers will make strides toward what business really needs at more attractive price. sooner or later the consumer market will buy what they need. by that time apple will have poured out lots of iiiiiiiissssss with the little pieces of cheese attached.
What's going to hurt apple the most? when all competitors combined have sold more product that population mostly because apple flooded the market iiiiiiissss but demand will be for more than a little peice of cheese

Everybody should always prepare him or herself for panic attacks. It is a condition that does not respect anyone or place. It can happen to anybody anywhere and at any time. Every person inclusive of the elderly suffers from acute or severe panic attacks. Therefore, you should know how to stop panic attacks. When you are caught in a situation of panic attacks, the first step is for you to take a very deep breath. It will cause some relaxation to your mind especially if it is done when your eyes are closed. When experiencing panic attacks, your heart races badly causing a condition called hyperventilation. Deep breathing helps relieve this condition.
Another way to stop panic attacks is by changing your environment. It is more preferable for you to seek out for some fresh air. This also helps you to relax more, having some time to control the symptoms of panic attacks. To completely stop panic attacks you should do this more often so that the body system can adopt resistance. Any time you suppress the temptation of concentrating on the panic attacks, you get to reduce the frequency of experiencing more panic attacks. You can also take some deep rest. Sleeping is the best option to help relieve you from the symptoms of panic attacks. After resting, take some diet that is good for your brain such as nuts and oats so that you can send positive signals to the brain.
Basic Changes In Learning How To Stop Panic Attacks
In as much as it may be a tad too difficult to go overcome this problem without the help of a qualified person, there are some simple things that will help you cope better with them. In some people, these simple steps have proved to be effective ways of how to stop panic attacks. Thus, it is important to know that your lifestyle could also be to blame for suffering this scenario. Having a well balanced diet is documented as being a way of stopping these attacks. Those who eat healthy are better able to cope compared to people who do not give much thought to the diets they consume. Eating the right amount of all necessary nutrients as well as drinking sufficient water daily will help you significantly in dealing with the problem.
Stress is another factor that most professionals will want you to handle best if you want guidance on how to stop panic attacks. As it is a known that stress causes anxiety, the first thing that you need to do is to have regular exercises which will help you better able to cope with life's challenges. Enough sleep cannot go unmentioned in this regard. Always get enough rest so that you give your brain time to recharge and focus better.
How To Stop Panic Attacks With Women
Women are also a vulnerable group to panic attacks. It is very natural to note that a woman is more fearful than the man is. They were created in a way that even the smallest things will affect the woman and they react emotionally to it. Women who suffer from panic attacks would have started it out of a small occurrence in their lives. This makes them more vulnerable from a very young age.
Women should be encouraged to take even the hardest tasks in the society. Panic attacks always come about when a woman is given a hard task to handle without prior preparation. The attack mostly comes because of stress that comes with the condition. It is therefore advisable that even the women in the workplaces and homes should occasionally be given the hard tasks to accomplish to kill the fear within. Another interesting way to stop panic attacks among the women is by preparing them psychologically. For example, if there is a great task ahead of the woman to accomplish, she should be told at least a week earlier so that she can get an ample time to prepare for the challenge. Realize also that encouragement is very important for boosting the confidence of the woman. What's more, it is important to women because panic attacks during pregnancy are often very common. Knowing how to stop these attacks is critical. Some resources are at this site.

Max Keiser on The Bilderberg 2012 Agenda [InfoWars]

Infowars correspondent Patrick Henningsen talks with top financial guru Max Keiser in London about this week's Bilderberg meeting in Chantilly and how they factors into the current global financial meltdown.
The Bilderberg Group are a group of the world's elite who meet once a year at a luxury hotel and decide how they will run the world. It's believed they plan to thin out the population through disease and vaccines. Their current alleged sinister plot is to dramatically thin out the world's population. If you're wondering why you've never even heard of this secret society, it's because the people who control the mainstream media are heavily involved.

Disorganized rant about the 6t'9 parade, culture, etc.
It is hard not to be in love with everything here when the weather is so damned pleasant. Mornings in the 60′s, even the crusties look good smoking cigarettes in front of Rue De La Course. It's been miserable here for so long I can't even count. The last few weeks are the first respite from 90′s weather for something like five god-awful months, where the only break is lying in bed with the AC on, wondering how bad Entergy is going to screw you for your little oases of comfort.
Last night the season of the Good Times officially began again with the march of the 6t'9 Social Aid and Pleasure Club Hola-ween Parade, which I was honored to join. It was a Latino-themed parade, even Krewe De Jieux had Mariaschewitz going on. The club had the only mariachi band in town; rumor has it that 6t'9 paid a fortune for the honor. Is this an unofficial welcoming of the expanded Latino presence in New Orleans? An admittance that now Hondurans are the second largest ethnic minority after white Americans?
6t'9 is stepping it up in terms of artistry, and I'm not just saying that because I am a new member. The giant Day of the Dead-style skull was visually impressive, and I personally liked the figures of loteria (simple, good idea well executed). Krewe De Zoo had excellent costumes. Top float had to go to Miss Claudia for her as the Virgin of Guadalupe, but the gutter punk with a bicycle coffin that he drove from inside (This is where the engineering talent goes in this city, and clearly the Army Corps of Engineers needs to step up its recruitment) topped everyone by bringing his pet rooster as a prop.
Pardon me for devolving here into another rant on the superiority of New Orleans culture, but why oh why must the rest of America be so boring? When will we get over being Protestants? If we can't be a humane nation, at least we should be able to enjoy being still the wealthiest nation on earth, and to do this with a little more style than American Idol and Project Runway.
Of course, many of us have a weakness for the ponies. Hardly a new idea; but I remain fascinated that 6t'9 is able to pull off a kid-friendly Halloween parade with this level of sexuality, including a distinctly S & M themed sub-krewe. The sight of six buxom women in black leather and corsets with bridles and tails pulling a cart down the middle of a major intersection just isn't something I get to see in other American cities. Frankly, it's hot. And the kids (at least the small ones) appear none the wiser.
Don't get me wrong – San Francisco has the Folsom Street Fair, a leather street parade, as well as various festivities around the Castro, but these are different in that first they really are for only a part of the community (why do the fags get to have more fun than the rest of us?) and second that the level of subtlety just isn't there. I could speculate about the legacy of legal prostitution from the Victorian era or the still-vibrant strip club business, but I honestly don't know how New Orleans seems to find ways to mix sexy with cute so well, to so successfully doll it up in a way that is less blatant and more about the allure than anything.
Also, I would be remiss if I didn't thank LJ, Renee, Rebecca and the other Orleanian Ashkenaz for allowing me, a goy, to march with Krewe de Jieux. I've always had a soft spot for the Jieuxs, I mean, getting to throw a gold painted bagel is the ultimate one-up on Zulu (whose practice of throwing painted coconuts has become its own cult). Of course, they did need a gentile to push the float, as it was Shabbas. Or so they say. Shalom, y'all.

What Was Worse Wednesday?: Wizards 109 – Bucks 97
Category: Uncategorized
It's hard to tell what was a more desperate scene: the Bucks launching three-point shots as time ticked away on their 109-97 loss to Washington or those in attendance attempting to navigate on the snowy Milwaukee streets after the game.
Neither was pretty, but both made me think about some things.
- I hate snow.
- I don't want to return to 2007
You remember 2007, right? That was the year Charlie Bell and Michael Redd combined to average 31 shot attempts each and every night. Mo Williams often paired with these two to form one of the worst defensive backcourts in recent Bucks memory. Needless to say, the Bucks lost a whole lot more than they won in 2006-07. But I had been comfortably assuming for most of this year that those days were a distant memory.
Wednesday night served as some kind of horrific flashback though
It's rare that you see a team stand out as particularly bad or particularly good defensively. Most teams give up roughly the same number of good looks and defend similar plays in similar fashions. Occasionally you'll have a Boston or Golden State that jump off the screen as being real good or real bad. The same thing applies to most players. Unless a guy is a notable shot-blocker, ball-hawk or a virtual sieve, it's hard to tell who's especially good or bad defensively (this actually is one of the things that's most impressive about Luc Richard Mbah a Moute, he isn't a shot-blocker or anything, but it's always so clear how proficient he is defensively whenever he's guarding someone with the ball). But it was clear that Brandon Jennings was killing the rest of the Bucks defense whenever he was in Wednesday night. When Jennings was in the game, Washington's backcourt generally had their way with the Bucks. Here are the numbers the three players Washington had at point guard put up while Jennings was in the game (Note: He was not always matched up on each player, sometimes they were in together. But Jennings suspect defense resulted in numerous open shots off help and switches):
Not bad numbers from any of them. Washington was going right at Jennings all night, whoever he was guarding took over point guard duties if they had in both Foye and Arenas. And in the fourth quarter, Boykins went to work showing Jennings how a little man can get off shots in the paint. Jennings shining moment was brief and swift when he blocked one of Boykins shots with ferocity (though he appears to have been incorrectly credited with a steal for the play).
While it wasn't just Jennings that struggled on a night the Bucks allowed the Wizards to shoot over 50 percent, he certainly did not help matters. The Wizards "attack Jennings" game plan also left Jennings battling foul trouble all night long and sat him for all but 6:33 in the second half.
- So the Bucks finally got to the free throw line … and then stopped hitting three's. Redd led the free-throw parade with a phenomenal 15-15 effort, as the Bucks went 28-33 as a team at the stripe. But Milwaukee faltered from behind the arc, finishing 5-25. If only they could have put them both together on the same night.
- I don't know if Carlos Delfino and Ersan Ilyasova are bummed about not being home for the holidays or what, but they have struggled mightily lately and tonight was no different. They combined to go 2-15 and tossed up matching 1-5 efforts from behind the arc. Add on Ilyasova's paltry two rebounds and we have ourselves a certifiable disaster of an evening on our hands. Oh, and Caron Butler and Antawn Jamison combined to go for 48 points and 20 rebounds.
- Back to Redd. His 32 points were a season high and the free throws were a delight, but he finished 8-21 from the field … and he started 5-5. Sigh. If Redd is springing for 32 with that kind of usage, the Bucks are going to be doomed to repeat their previous three years offensively. Too often it became the, "let's stand around and hope Michael can do something" offense of past years on Wednesday, especially when Andrew Bogut wasn't able to get much going.
Final Thoughts
There wasn't much to like about this one. Ugly basketball, ugly outcome and an ugly night to boot. The best thing we can all do, is get outside and shovel away the snow and the memories of Wednesday night's Bucks game.
Fortunately, night's like this one have been the exception this year and not the rule for a change. And that's something to feel good about after a tough loss. There was once a time when this kind of effort was common place at the Bradley Center and it's hard to change that over night. Night's like this were less frequent last year and have continued to trend in a positive direction this year and hopefully by 2011 they will be vanquished for good. But for now? They're still going to happen. So all the Bucks can do is learn from the mistakes and move forward.

You targeted Brandon's weakness on defense. When your picked it's up to your help defender to cause some kind of hedge or resistance. Then the rest of the defense should be reacting accordingly(TEAM DEFENSE). Also If you're going to sub him everytime he misses a defensive assignment Bogut should be right along with him. This team has 1 exceptional defender(LUC). Bell is an avg. defender who on most nights will be battling a bigger,younger & more athletic guy. The Bucks can't guard the pick & roll as Bogut's lateral movement is snail like. He isn't as imposing on the D side. His offense also lacks from time to time.
The teams direction now is to acclimate Redd back into the swing of things. He was the only one in rhythm yesterday at the expense of the whole time. He's what you call a jacker. Also why is it that Brandon is on the shortest leash of anybody on the team. The sub early in the 1st quarter yesterday & I've repeatedly seen Skiles pull players for no reason(Mostly Jennings & Delfino. The same reason he wore out his welcome in Chicago will be his demise in Mil. He isn't able to adapt to the sitaution or player. It's his way or no way. Also he isn't the coach for Brandon Jennings. Why do you think all of sudden his producition is down? Take a note from the KINGS. It's Tyreke's team and he plays through his other rookie Caspi. They seem to have fun as well as root for one another. On our military style run team nobody hardly claps let alone cheers one another on. We have a veteran team for the most part & will struggle mightily until we go back to what had us exciting in the 1st place. Don't forget we were winning games against teams we shouldn't have been beating.
Remember Skiles promotes Luke Ridnour more than anybody else on the team(Early Season MVP-PLEASE). Have you heard the way Westphal raves about his rookie. I forget Skiles doesn't like Rooks. I"m still suprised Jennings starts with the way Robo Cop is. If you look at the teams body language on the bench. They've already tuned him out. He expects top tier defense with a very weak defensive team(How good a defender was Skiles when he played? Did he shut penny down in practice or all the other studs in his era)-DONT THINK SO. You don't have a shot blocker. Jennings is thin & a rookie who also doesn't get the benefit of the whistle. Warrick hasn't grabbed 10 boards or gotten a block in who knows how long. Kurt Thomas it's that time. Joe Alexander looks like he's just glad he doesn't have to hear Skiles mouth. Michael Redd could care less about winning he's just happy to be back out there. Has Skiles smiled yet this season? Our biggest room for concern has been the return of Redd as it has caused Ridnour to fall out the rotation. Also Ersan has completely dissapeared. Hey an Bogut needs a new move everyone knows that lefty jump hook is coming as we saw with L.A. and Washington. Try a up & under and impose your will more. Your 7ft
This team needs to go back to having an identity(ITS BJ TEAM LIKE IT OR NOT). We're looking forward to the future or at least I am. Know's the chance to change the perception of the fans & everyone around the league is now & can slip and be gone. Skiles you're not going to the H.O.F. for playing or coaching so stop being so bitter and OLD SCHOOL. It's like you have a thoroughbred horse and your keeping him caged up. Jennings & Evans are talents that only come around so often. Similar to WADE,LEBRON,MELO. You should be willing to sacrifice everything for the growth of this kid. I guarantee you'll be better of in the long run. If not Siyanara and I can't wait for him to go to a team where he'll blossom. I heard the other day former point guards make for the toughest coaches. They're to stubborn & very hard to play for. Isiah,Doc,Avery,Mo Cheeks, and so on. You see the game & played it very different. Did you also hear what Tyreke Evans said the other day about the Bulls comeback. Westphal came in & spoke to us like men at HALFTIME. He didn't scream at us like LITTLE CHILDREN. Skiles act as if Refs & everyone alike are supposed to respect him. You're not Coach K what have you really done in this league that enables you to act that way. I've tuned you out as a fan. The Bucks have become the boring team of old. They don't want Brandon to score 50 let alone 30 anymore(I bet he's even said forget about the R.O.Y. and play to win-IT ISN'T WORKING. They want him to become a Robotic PG who sets up his teamates-(LIKE SKILES IN HIS PRIME LOL). Lets remember for once who his teamates are. Outside of a healthy Redd I don't see anyone that should have more of a GREEN LIGHT OR SHOT ATTEMPTS THAN BJ. Good Luck the rest of the season. IF THINGS DON'T CHANGE LOTTERY HERE WE COME. JEREMEY YOU KNOW HOW STUBBORN SCOTTY IS BABY. If Van Gundy needs to relax Robo Skiles needs a makeover.
Lastly BJ could mature into a great PG. Skiles can't lessen his Alpha Male behavior. Makes for an unsuccesful coach & miserable unhappy & unproductive team.
To the poster Hey, your comments are spot on! Scott Stiles is stifling Brandon Jennings overall scoring/offensive productivity. One of the reasons that Brandon Jennings is not getting very many fouls called, outside of the obvious fouls that the referees fail to call is because Jennings is not driving to basket much. I understand that Stiles is trying to make Jennings a better point guard, but in someways he is making him worse. There are times to be passive and set up plays for you teammates there are other times where you need to be aggressive and make plays for yourself. It's almost like Brandon does even look for shots himself most of the time anymore. Furthermore, why aren't any plays being ran specifically for Jennings. You never see any pick and rolls or schemes to utilize Jennings quickness to the basket. All the Bucks seem to want is to get the ball in the low post to Bogut. While Bogut is pretty good in the low post, he is mostly a finesse post player so he draw very few fouls plus he is a horrible foul shooter. The Bucks need to get to the line more often and you need other players such as quick guards to be able to get to the basket and draw fouls. Besides Bogut, most of the baskets the Bucks score and take are mostly from outside the paint area. But to also add Jennings does need to work on his defense a little more as he is getting exposed by other teams who run the pick and roll.
But Mr. "hey", Skiles was the coach at the start, what makes you think HE changed something with Jennings? What seems to me more likely is that his shooting early on took a lot of teams by surprise, but now they know what to expect from him and play him accordingly. This game is a case in point: they've already played the Wiz, so they had the idea to attack Jenning on D.
Also, the Bucks right now are not a veteran team. Not with Luc, Jennings, and Ersan logging big minutes. And Jennings gets pulled early once and now Skiles hates rookies? He plays 35 minutes a night!
Hey: It just goes to show how many games you watch. Jennings lets anyone get in the paint, ANYONE. Who steps up to help? Bogut. He may draw a charge or block a shot, but most times he is Fouling people who get straight line drives into the paint. Hard to play when in foul trouble one would think. Or he steps up and his man gets a dunk then everyone gets their load off about how his man is getting easy dunks. Those of you who dont know the game please don't comment. Our Guards have no idea how to keep guards out of the paint. Thats the weakness of our D. Full stop.

Comments about Cowboy Waterproof Label:
I love my cowboy waterproof labels I got for my little one. I have put them on his SS sippy cup, bowls, wipes case and various other things and they have done great so far. I wash all the items by hand and not in the dishwasher, but that is just to ensure they last as long as possible so I can't attest to how they do after multiple cycles in the dishwasher, but they have done great hand washing them. [...] very cute item, I love them and would recommend them.
BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
