It's hard to fight the uplifting vibes of Michael Franti.
It's probably a good thing that my mom isn't much of a web user and doesn't read my writing because I am pretty sure she would be pretty upset if she knew that her blogger daughter isn't taking her to see Michael Franti. His latest release is catchy and uplifting and it's hard not to smile when you hear his jangly tunes, but there's a lot of competition tonight as Swedes Dungen rock the Casbah, Arizona's What Laura Says take over the Soda Bar, and some strong local bands rock around town at spots like West Coast Tavern, the Whistle Stop, and Bar Pink. It's a shame with all of today's technology that we can't time travel to catch all of tonight's goodness, but you've got to at least pick one and make it a memorable Thursday.

SUPERIOR, WI (WTAQ) - A man from Superior is due back in court next week, after he allegedly forged over $30,000 in checks from the account of a local feed store.
27-year-old Eric Meteraud is charged in Douglas County with five felony counts of forgery.
The owner of Dan's Feed Bin in Superior called police after several of the store's checks had bounced. Investigators later learned that 25 checks were stolen and later cashed – all payable to Meteraud and forged with the signature of another employee.
Meteraud is free on a signature bond.
A preliminary hearing is set for next Wednesday, when a judge will decide if there's enough evidence to order a trial.

Should you keep your 'totaled' car?
Sometimes cars can be safely repaired, postponing the cost of buying a replacement. But before you go that route, there are some important questions to ask.
Related topics: insurance, auto insurance, car insurance, accident, road safety
Crashed your car? Bummer. Even worse is getting a call from your auto insurance company saying it's a total loss and should go to the junkyard.
Your attachment to your vehicle may be sentimental. In some cases, your bond may be financial: You may not be able to replace the totaled car with the money your insurance company is willing to pay.
Typically, cars are totaled when damage exceeds 65% or 70% of the vehicle's market value. Rick Ward, the director of auto claims for MetLife Auto and Home, says the standard for deciding when a car is a total loss varies by company and may be set by state regulators. You can find out the threshold by contacting your insurance agent.
Working with your auto insurance company
Car insurance companies find that many older cars are simply not worth repairing.
"We determine the value of your car through market research," explains Ward. "There are three software providers that provide vehicle valuations, Blue Book averages and what cars are selling for in your area through dealer networks." But this software isn't available to consumers.
According to the Highway Loss Data Institute, the average cost for collision repair in 2009 was $4,245. If you think your totaled car is valuable enough to justify a repair, you can contest your insurance company's decision to declare it a total loss, but be prepared to provide evidence that the car is worth the effort.
If you can demonstrate good maintenance and mechanical improvements, you may be able to win your totaled car a reprieve. Its age and mileage will be key factors.
Keeping a vehicle your insurer has totaled
If you decide to accept the insurance company's decision to total your car but you still want to keep it, your insurer will pay you the cash value of the vehicle, minus any deductible that is due and the amount your car could have been sold for at a salvage yard. It then will be up to you to arrange to make repairs.
"They will cut you a check," says Ward, and then you're on your own.
Mechanical integrity
Dan Young, senior vice president of insurance relations for the Carstar auto body repair group, says safety should be your primary concern when keeping a totaled car. "If there is a way for you to find someone to repair the car or make it safely drivable, that is great," he says.
If damage to the totaled vehicle is mostly cosmetic, you may be able to put it back into service for a modest cost. However, if fixing the car means reaching deep into your pockets, you may be better off letting it go.
this is why I love driving a clunker. I pay cash for it and run it into the ground over the years. Sure, I'll still do the regular maintenance, but everyone has to do that. If my paid-in-full car gets in an accident somehow, I just throw it in the gutter, and go buy another.
Being a clunker, it's also not a thief magnet, so I usually leave my keys in the ashtray. I know where they are and I don't worry about it.
I take care of my car and do my best to make sure it lasts a long time. Yes, I get sentimentally attached to them, but I'm also not afraid to drive around with a dented fender or mismatched paint colored hood. It's MY car until it dies. Then I get another car to be MY car,
My 1993 Silverado pickup truck has been totaled twice in its lifetime. Both times I took what the insurance company was willing to pay and repaired it myself at a local body shop. The net combined repair costs out of my pocket came to just under $10,000.00. Several people called me 'foolish' but my reply to them was and continues to be this.
$10,000.00 is a lot less than $18,000.00 to almost $30,000.00 for an equivalent new truck. Secondly it remains paid for so I am not paying interest on a huge loan, Thirdly the licensing, insurance, and routine maintenance remains a lot less than for a new vehicle. And finally I still have a nice looking functional truck that is perfectly safe, economical to drive, and runs like a Swiss watch.
We have become a 'disposable nation' where everything we own has a certain amount of planned obsolescence built into it. Home appliances used to routinely last at least 20 years. Now you are lucky if they make it to the end of their warranty period. However American made automobiles have suffered such a beating by foreign auto makers that their quality and durability has quietly improved dramatically. If you are conscientious about maintenance and upkeep most cars will serve you well for a very long time and this includes American products.
Now if you just want a change of scenery and are tired of your old vehicle then be my guest and hit the showrooms. However be prepared to pay a very large price for a metal box that serves no other purpose than to carry you and yours from point A to point B comfortably and safely. My old car and truck do just that and I see no reason to incur a huge debt just to 'look cool' or out do my neighbors. LOL
There are a few things this article failed to mention:
1. You can challenge your Ins. Co., over the amount (usually 70%), your Co. is willing to pay when they total your vehicle, and I believe you can get an arbitrator involved.
2. There is optional insurance you can buy, to cover the gap between what your Ins. Co. pays, and what it would cost to replace your vehicle with a "used like" vehicle.
3. Never just accept what your Ins. Co. offers, hold out for more! If they won't budge, TAKE THEM TO COURT! They charged you plenty for the Ins. Premiums didn't they??!
Cannot anyone see the Vehicle Insurance People's GAME?? They promise you better rates if your a good driver,....no accidents, no tickets, etc., etc.. So,.... you are inclined to become this great driver, and have no accidents, but you keep paying the Ins. Co. the premiums which they Keep FOREVER, if you have no accidents! You NEVER get your money BACK, when the day comes that you quit driving, and have had NO ACCIDENTS, now do you??! Some of these younger folks out there are paying $2000+ a year for auto insurance, well if they decide to keep their vehicle for 10 years or so, they've pretty much paid for another vehicle wouldn't you say??, but that money's gone if they've had no claims! I just don't think it is right, the way it is done these days! There should be some kind of reward at the end of the tunnel if you are a "good driver"!! BUT, all I can see is the GOOD DRIVER PAYING FOR THE BAD DRIVERS OUT THERE!
My 2001 Ford Focus was totaled in 2009 and being on Disability made a new car purchase "null and void". I am so glad I got my car repaired. Haven't had any problems w/it since. The insurance company gave me a $2500 chk, the repairs w/labor cost $1500, and I pocketed the rest. I have liability insurance. Long story short: repairing was the best and only option for me.
Twice we've had older cars that were worth less than $2k hit by other people and the insurance companies wanted to total the vehicles because the cost of the repairs exceeded the cost of the repairs. Both times the damage was cosmetic. We were able to have the insurance company just write us a check for the value of the car less what they would have received from a junkyard and put that money aside for the next car and just continue to drive the car with big dent in it. It wasn't pretty, but the cars didn't look that great before the accident either. They didn't change the title to salvage or anything. I have a little dent in the 2007 car I have now. Stupid little bumping into something in the driveway thing. They wanted $800 to fix it. No way am I paying $800 to fix a little dent smaller than the palm of my hand. I'll just live with it for the next 10 years.
Play hardball with the insurance company. One of the best keep secrets is that you, the consumer, have the right to make the insurance company replace the car. They will kick and scream and try every way to not have to do that, including telling you that you don't know what your talking about. Push it up the chain, cause odds are the insurance adjuster your talking too is unaware, on purpose or not, that you have this right.
Stick to your guns, get your state's insurance commissioner involved, and/or get an attorney. It's about money, your's or the insurance company's. Your time is worth something more than a check for your totaled car. If they think it is so easy to just go out and buy a car, then by all means, point out that its just as easy for them too.
This can be done, but you have to stand up and tell them what it will take to make you whole again.
Older car, low ball check, just say 'replace the car.'
My car was totalled by a drunk, who fell asleep, and hit it while it was parked. He admitted to it being his fault...although, the cops took so long to get there...he was sober...not anexageration!
Anyway, the car wa 11 years old, and they settled with me for an amount I wasn't satisfied with...I threatened to get an atty, and they bumped it up 3000.
The fact also, was they wouldn't let me keep the car..I could have had it repaired for far less than what they paid me...the system is broken, and needs to be fixed....Maybe we can total it and make a profit?
I have nothing against an independent doing body work, but i know for fact in the community i live in going to a Dealership is no more expensive than the individual. I had someone hit me, insurance wanted 3 quotes, both independent shops asked to see the dealership "bid" and pretty much just went off that. The Dealership Manager that did the quote went over the car twice to be sure nothing was missed. I was told by the dealership they would fix a small dent in my car as well, (which i paid a little extra for) and did, all paint matched. Once they started on my car there was damage that was hid when the quote was given. They dealt with the Insurance Company and made sure it was taken care of, I had to do nothing. Insurance Companies sometimes try to tell you where you have to take your car, but you can call BS because it is YOUR car and YOU pay the premium. It is Your choice where you have repairs done! I know people that have bought back their car after it was called totaled, and did fix it for the money paid by insurance. Going to a dealership to me is the best option, because the one i go to has cars they loan, no insurance to hassle with over that. I guess bottom line is "trust". Take it to someone you trust!
Other financial issues aside, it comes down to how many extra years of good performance and reliability you can reasonably expect to get out of the repaired car and how much you're spending per year to get those extra years. For example, if I spend $3000 to get 3 more years, that's $1000/year. If I bought even a low-priced replacement, like the Hyundai Elantra, made in Alabama, It would cost me around $18,500 up front (taxes, shipping, etc above $17125 MSRP) and be drive-train guaranteed for 10 years. That's nearly $1850/yr. If I keep it 15 years that's still above $1000/yr, though I would save $500/yr or more on gasoline at $4 or more/gallon.
So in my case: I'll repair my car if I think, after advise from mechanic friends, I can get one additional year of good, reliable running for every $1000 I put into it. Otherwise, it's time for a new car.
Then there are those "other financial considerations." For example, delaying a new car may allow someone to delay beginning his/her Social Security or Pension a couple years, making them worth a few thousand per year more. In such cases, the band-aid approach becomes more valuable.
A lot of this could be applied to working with the medical profession and all there "test". There should also be a place there of if the "body work" is needed. Oh yes could a lot of it be also based on the insurance returns over the need? Small world. Don't pick on the hard working auto repair folks.
Good people wonder why premiums continue to escalate the way they do, EAP's comments about feigning an injury, constituting fraud is a primary reason why. The amount of money that is spent investigating this and the myriad of other fraudulent claims as well as employing the resources to pursue these bogus claims is astronomical.

TEAMS: New Orleans Saints, San Francisco 49ers
New Orleans running back Darren Sproles is active against San Francisco after missing three games with a broken left hand. But starting right tackle Zach Strief has been scratched for Sunday's game, meaning rookie Bryce Harris will start in his place against the 49ers' No. 2-ranked defense. Every player on the 49ers' injury report this week is active except fullback/defensive tackle Will Tukuafu (both wrists). Quarterback Alex Smith, coming back from a concussion, is in uniform, though not expected to start. The Niners' other scratches are healthy reserves. Also inactive for New Orleans is linebacker Scott Shanle, a healthy scratch, and four players ruled out earlier with injuries: right tackle Charles Brown (right knee), cornerback Corey White (left knee), defensive end Junior Galette (left ankle) and cornerback Elbert Mack (concussion). --- Online: http://pro32.ap.org/poll and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL

Anime News Nina is a webcomic created, written, and drawn by Robin Sevakis and is found on the Anime News Network website. Beginning in October of 2007, the comic follows the day-to-day experiences of Nina, a "news elf" who has just been assigned by ANN to learn everything about anime and considers it her "reason for living". Needless to say, Hilarity Ensues, as is expected with the often unpredictable world of anime, manga, their fanbase, and everything else associated with it. Joining her on her "mission" are Kevin, a somewhat stereotypical fan (though certainly better than other types) who is well-versed in otaku culture, and Paola, who is somewhat of the more "straight man" compared to Kevin though she certainly has her quirks as well.Beginning as a weekly comic, it eventually turned into a three-a-month release, but long hiatuses are fairly rare and often are filled by guest-written/drawn strips. Robin's work as a whole is well-praised by the fans on ANN. The series ended in October 2013 after 6 years and well over 100 comics.

Houston (6-0, 220, Tennessee), a sixth round (182nd overall) selection by the Jets in 2005, rushed for 676 yards and seven touchdowns and gained 109 receiving yards on 15 catches in two seasons with the team. He is currently third on the Jets depth chart behind newly acquired RB Thomas Jones and second year man Leon Washington. More information on this story will be posted as soon as details surface.
Davis (5-10, 180, Wake Forest) compiled 721 receiving yards on 62 receptions with four touchdowns and rushed for 175 yards and one score in four seasons at Wake Forest. Since graduating in 2005, he spent portions of the last two seasons with the Montreal Alouettes of the Canadian Football League, tallying nine catches for 83 yards before being released on June 24, 2007.
The team officially begins training camp tomorrow. Although the signing of first round pick Darrelle Revis has not yet been announced, sources say he will be inked by tomorrow morning.

It's time to stop talking about who may or may not have football talent and go out and see for ourselves. Or, better yet, just sit back on your couch and flip on the TV and find out.
High school football begins full tilt tonight! I'll be in Lilburn tonight watch Stephenson face Parkview in the Big Orange Jungle. Can't wait. You can see it, too.
As you may or may not have heard, somebody conned Channel 2 WSB-TV into letting me be part of their "Channel 2 Sports Zone Friday Live Game of the Week." The game, which kicks off at 7:30 p.m., will be broadcast live on RTV ("Retro Television"/Charter Ch. 127, Comcast 248) and will be replayed at 1 a.m. on Channel 2 WSB-TV. I'll be the "analyst" while Channel 2 sports director Zach Klein hunkers down and does all the real work. Gonna be a blast.
And Zach and I are both really excited about tonight's matchup, which pits two Class AAAAA traditional powers. Until I researched the game, I never would have believed that these schools, located about eight miles apart on opposite sides of that mound of granite known as Stone Mountain, have only met one other time and never in the regular season.
Their only other meeting came in 2005 when Stephenson defeated Parkview 20-14 in the quarterfinals of the state playoffs. It seemed like almost every year before that the two powerhouses were barreling toward each other from opposite ends of the playoff brackets. But one or the other tended to get knocked off before they could meet on the gridiron. And with heavy region commitments in the past, the two teams just never could get onto each other's regular-season schedules.
Until now. They agreed to a two-year, home-and-home contract this year.
"I don't know how Coach [Cecil] Flowe feels but I think it's something that needed to be done a long, long time ago," Stephenson coach Ron Gartrell said. "Region 5-AAAAA for a long while had a 10-game region schedule and we always tried to play Southwest DeKalb, so there just wasn't any way to make it happen. But I think it's great for both communities. I know I'm excited."
So is Flowe and the Parkview community.
"It's been a long time coming," Flowe said. "There was some reclassification and some moving around and we found ourselves looking for non-region contests. DeKalb needed a couple of games and we needed a couple of games and it just looked like a good matchup. Economic times as they are, not having to go a long distance to play seemed like a good idea."
South Gwinnett plays M.L King in a similar arrangement next week.
There are remarkable parallels between the two programs. Stephenson is now where Parkview was in the mid-1990s before it went on its incredible run of four state championships in six years (1997, 2000, '01, '02). That is, the Jaguars have been knocking on the door of a state title but have been unable to break through.
"Ron does a great job and he has great kids over there," Flowe said. "We've had our run of kids, but we don't quite have what they do right now."
In a word, the No. 6-ranked Jaguars are "loaded." Or maybe we should make that "re-loaded."
Stephenson famously had 29 of its seniors off last year's 11-1 team sign some sort of football grant-in-aid last February. We think that's a record in the state.
Normally, the loss of that much talent would devastate a football program. But eight of Stephenson's 2011 seniors already have accepted scholarship offers. And between transfers and junior and senior classes numbering close to 70 kids, the Jaguars have been able to locate more talent in their vast pool.
"This is a team where I don't see a weakness anywhere," Flowe said of Stephenson. "If they have one I can't find it. They have a bunch of athletes over there. From what I can gather they're loaded."
Asked if his team had a weakness, Gartrell just laughed.
"Yeah, we can start with coach," he said. "We have some concerns. We did lose 10 starters off our defense last year. And we have seven starters coming back on offense but we lost our best offensive player (RB Raymond Sanders, Kentucky signee) and our best offensive and defensive lineman (Georgia signee Mike Thornton). So, yeah, we have some weaknesses."
Some of Stephenson's players to keep an eye on tonight include QB Jordan Tarver (Kent commitment), running back Willie Davis (South Florida), running back Mike Davis (little brother of Clemson's James Davis), fullback Jonathan Abrams (several offers), wide receiver Cey-Ron Willingham (Middle Tennessee), center Tarik Cook, cornerback David Stevenson (UConn), free safety Jared Boyd (Duke), linebacker Regis Ball (Memphis), punter/place-kicker Colin Anderson (UAB) and strong safety Kedetrix Marcus (multiple ACC and SEC offers).
In the meantime, the Panthers aren't devoid of talent. A young team overall, they feature several up-and-coming talents such as junior linebacker/running back Raphael Kirby, junior linebacker/wingback Patrick Flowe (Cecil's son) and quarterback Jack Esmonde. And they have a strong set of senior leaders, including two-way lineman Walter McGriff, linebacker Kenny Flowers and free safety Joe Anderson.
And then there's the guy Zach and I are so keen to see: Parkview senior Ike Onike (pronouced Oh-KNEE-kee). Mainly a defensive end last year, No. 28 is playing running back, fullback, tight end and wideout on offense and has been story of preseason camp for the Panthers. "He's whatever we need him to be," Flowe said.
Like I said, no sense talking about it anymore. Y'all tune in and watch. Ya hear?

Sounds like a fun matchup. Is Regis Ball related to Reggie Ball of "fourth down throw away" fame? I think he went to Stephenson.

Is there any heat on Gartrell to win a state title? There is a ton of talent to come thru that program.
August 27th, 2010

That Stephenson school must have set a high school record by sending 29 players to college on scholarships last season. Quite an impressive job of coaching by Ron Gartrell who must be very proud of his kids. I was hoping that Tarik Cook would come to the Flats as their future center. I wish him well at UCF. He is going to be a solid player for the Golden Knights. Nice article as usual Chip. Thank you! For more Georgia Tech Football articles go to http://isportsweb.com.

Im going to see the Troup vs. Callaway game tonight. Should be interesting since Quin Bray (sp?) transfered from Callaway to play at Troup.
August 27th, 2010
1:50 pm
Maybe he hasn't won a state title, but he sure sends lots of his kids to college. That is the more important issue if your a HS Coach, In my opinion. So I would conclude Coach Gartrell is doing a great job, title or not.
August 27th, 2010
1:56 pm
Coach Gartrell (my former HS coach before Stephenson existed) shouldn't be feeling any pressure. Look how long it took Buck Godfrey to win his first state title. Gartrell's will come and I get the feeling it won't just be one.
Keep up the good work Coach!!

August 27th, 2010

looking forward to setting the DVR to record this game as well as N Gwinnett game. Very good talent in the peach state. I agree that Coach Gartrell is not the best coach in the world but he does gets his athletes to college.

You will always have those who sit the sideline and throw barbs, that's why they are on the sidelines and not playing or coaching. Good luck this season all high school coaches and high school athletes.

Troup got whipped. Bray looks like a fine enough RB, but nobody really looks good when you have zero blocking. Troup's O-line was pathetic. It wouldn't surprise me at all if they have a losing season this year. Watch, I bet Bray's numbers go way down too. It might allow him to be a little bit under the radar for a prospect.

1-5-A Coffee County High Trojans lost again last night to Ware Co. Now have lost 8 in row under there stupid Head Coach and home boy staff. CHS will be luck to win 2 games with these Bozo's running the team. The kids deserve better.
August 28th, 2010
11:09 am
Coffee lost to a school half it's size….. if Ware goes to state maybe that will be why. I don't know if it is talent or coaching or both but Coffe should be better than what they have shown lately. Maybe they should go after the head coach at Fitzgerald. He is a winner.

Great game last night in the jungle. Stephenson's Jafar Mann is a beast!!! UGA needs to send him an hand written offer asap. He's just a junior 6′3 about 270. Stephenson is loaded. They have another kid named Preston Smith at DE that reminds me of Jermaine Cunnigham. 6″6 240. They're D line is sick.

Why is it most bloggers on here hate stephenson so much? If there is an article about stephenson someone has something derogatory to say. If there is an article on a past or present player someone has something derogatory to say. If you don't like the school just don't respond. I for one am tired of the haters on this blog. Talk about your own squad and keep mine out your mouth. Schools come and go in the hierarchy of AAAAA but Stephenson remains and that type of staying power says alot about the people associated with that program.

I caught the Stephenson @ Parkview game last night and I was Great game. It was the first game so hopefully they will improve. But the game had everyone on their toes the whole game! On another note I just wanted to say THE STEPHENSONS BAND IS AWESOME!

Matt Yglesias notes that Southwest has just one type of plane, which generates all sorts of efficiencies, and writes:
One problem, I suppose, is that you might end up too much under the thumb of Boeing once you've super-committed to just flying a single model of aircraft.
Actually, the opposite is the case. We studied the Easyjet case in business school, which has a similar business model to Southwest's. Because discount airlines buy one type of plane from one manufacturer, they're almost always their biggest customer for that plane, which means the plane companies are eager to please them and give them volume discounts.
For example, Easyjet, which is committed to Airbus like Southwest is to Boeing, placed the biggest order in Airbus's history right after 9/11. They got them at bargain-basement rates (they went on to resell the planes at a profit, which is unheard of in the industry) but Airbus was happy for the vote of confidence at a particularly precarious time for airplane manufacturers. It also means that when designing the next planes in its pipeline, the manufacturer will take the wishes of the discount airliners into account before those of the others.
Sort of how Apple is Foxconn's biggest customer. Sure, Apple has Foxconn risk, but it also means Foxconn will do everything to please Apple over its other customers.

Paul McGann and Sylvester McCoy at the "Lords of Time" conference in Auckland, NZ.
(Source: catwithninelives)
The stamps were recently launched at an event in London, with former Doctors Tom Baker, Peter Davison and Paul McGann in attendance.
The Doctor Who stamps are available at 9,000 Post Office Branches (UK only) and online from www.royalmail.com/doctorwho globally.
In addition to the eleven stamps featuring the Doctors, a five-stamp miniature sheet is also available, featuring a TARDIS and some of the Doctor's most famous foes; a Dalek, a Cyberman, an Ood and a Weeping Angel. See the Doctor Who stamp designs here.

In November 2013, Big Finish will be releasing Doctor Who: The Light at the End, a very special 100-minute story to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of Doctor Who. Tom Baker (1974-81), Peter Davison (1982-84), Colin Baker (1984-86), Sylvester McCoy (1987-89) and Paul McGann (1996) will all reprise their roles as, respectively, the Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh and Eighth Doctors, whose paths suddenly intersect when they face imminent destruction.
"We wanted to do a proper, fully-fledged multi-Doctor story for this very special occasion," says writer, director and executive producer Nicholas Briggs, "and it's wonderful that all the surviving Doctors threw themselves behind the project so enthusiastically. That's not to say the first three Doctors don't appear – we wanted to pay homage to the whole history of the classic series."
The Doctors will also be joined by a number of their regular companions: Louise Jameson reprises the role of the savage Leela, Sarah Sutton plays the scientist Nyssa, Nicola Bryant is American botany student Peri, Sophie Aldred is streetwise kid Ace and India Fisher returns as Edwardian adventurer Charley Pollard.
"And that's not all," says producer David Richardson, "because Geoffrey Beevers is back to create mayhem as the Master, and there will be a number of appearances from some much-cherished old friends from the TV series…"
Doctor Who: The Light at the End will be released in two different versions. A five-disc limited special edition comes with two hour-long documentaries, plus The Revenants, a Companion Chronicles tale which began life as a free Doctor Who Magazine download. It's performed by William Russell, who starred in the very first TV story as Ian Chesterton. The special edition comes in beautiful special packaging, and will include a number of exclusive professionally photographed images of the cast.
The standard edition comprises two discs, featuring the two hour-long episodes of the story.
This is a great read. Check out this bit by famed science fiction writer Stephen Baxter about First Doctor William Hartnell:
It was surely necessary that the Doctor had to be old in his first incarnation; that sense of age has always lingered. Even today a key part of Matt Smith's reading of the role is that he is an old man in a young man's body. And that agedness is rooted in Hartnell's authoritative playing. My favourite single line of Hartnell's actually came in tenth-anniversary special "The Three Doctors" when he berates his successors: "So you're my replacements – a dandy and a clown. Have you done anything?"
h/t anglophenia!
"I love humans. Always seeing patterns in things that aren't there." Happy Birthday Paul McGann!

It's like asking you to pick your favorite air.
Because surveys are important.
Paul J. Salamoff is a former special effects artist from Burbank who now works as a writer and producer. He's also the owner of the TARDIS console from the 1996 Doctor Whotelevision movie starring Paul McGann. This weekend, he unveiled the refurbished prop at Los Angeles' annual gathering of Whovians, Gallifrey One.
It makes sense that Salamoff, who gave the prop a new life with the help of two other fans, would choose Gallifrey One for the big reveal. A Doctor Who aficionado since childhood, Salamoff has been attending the convention for at least 15 years. While this convention still flies a little under the media radar, Gallifrey One is becoming better known as more and more people in the U.S. are obsessing over the long-running British sci-fi franchise, which on BBC America.
It was a long, arduous process that one of Salamoff's cohorts documented on his blog, but the response was worth it. The eighth Doctor himself, McGann, stopped by with his son to play with some of the controls.

At least 2 firefighters killed in Boston blaze
9-alarm fire in Boston neighborhood
- More than a dozen other people are hurt
- "I watched it go from pretty small to really, really big," eyewitness tells a CNN affiliate
- Blaze began in the basement of a brick brownstone
(CNN) — A nine-alarm fire broke out Wednesday at a brick brownstone in Boston's Back Bay neighborhood, killing at least two firefighters and injuring more than a dozen people, officials said.
The deaths were confirmed by a public safety source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity.
The fire began in the basement and quickly climbed up the four-story building, the Boston Fire Department said on its Twitter page.
It posted images of the blaze, showing firefighters attending to someone on a stretcher.
The area is west of downtown Boston, near the Charles River. Video showed smoke rising over the city.
On its Twitter page, Boston Emergency Medical Services said that it had transported 18 patients to area hospitals from the Beacon Street blaze.
Three firefighters were injured, one seriously, Boston Fire Department spokesman Steve MacDonald told reporters before news of the deaths. He said that more than 150 firefighters and between 20 and 30 trucks responded to the incident.
Fire officials were conducing a roll call to make sure everyone is accounted for, the spokesman said. The cause of the blaze was not immediately clear.
Mark Bristol, an eyewitness, told CNN affiliate WCVB, that he saw people climbing down the building's fire escape. The affiliate reported that strong winds were fanning the flames, complicating efforts to put the fire out.
"I watched it go from pretty small to really, really big — like there was just smoke absolutely pouring out the front entrance," Bristol said.
Propane leak forces evacuation20 Feb
By Charlie Kraebel, email@example.com;,@Charlie_Kraebel on Twitter
WILTON >> Homes and businesses within a half-mile radius of AmeriGas on Commerce Drive in Wilton were evacuated Friday evening after a 17,000 gallon propane tank sprung a leak.
Wilton Fire Chief Bill Morgan said no one was hurt or hospitalized as a result of the leak. He said the remaining gas was being transferred to nearby tanks at the site.
Morgan said crews were unable to repair the valve on the leaking tank, which was scheduled to be reconditioned. He said cold temperatures were helping with offloading efforts because it slowed the leak.
Morgan said officers from the Saratoga County Sheriff's Department and state police were going door-to-door after Wilton town officials ordered an evacuation. State Department of Transportation guidelines state that residences and businesses within a half-mile radius of such a leak be evacuated, while others living within a one-mile radius of the event be notified.
Dimmick Road between Gurn Springs and Edie roads was shut down. An emergency shelter was set up at the Wilton Fire Station on Ballard Road.
Morgan said several fire departments and EMS services were called in to assist, primarily to provide adequate water in case of a fire. There are no fire hydrants near the scene of the leak, he said.
Morgan said AmeriGas has not had a history of having propane leaks at its Wilton location, and the facility hasn't had any code violations.

Stars Join Travoltas To Say Goodbye To Jett
John Travolta and Kelly Preston – along with family and a slew of John's Hollywood contemporaries – said goodbye to their son Jett Thursday.
The Travoltas were joined by Garth Brooks and wife Trisha Yearwood, James Gandolfini, Kirstie Alley, Forest Whitaker and Lisa Maria Presley. John reportedly kissed a large photo of Jett during the memorial service at their Ocala, Florida estate.
The intimate memorial service was kept under tight security, as the caterers, florists and guests arrived — both by car and by plane, landing next door to the Travolta home.
According to the Ocala Star Banner, the service was short. The 100 guests were seated under a white tent outside the family's main residence.
Jett Travolta died due to a "seizure disorder," according to his death certificate, obtained by Access Hollywood.
The 16-year-old died last week while on vacation with his family at the Old Bahama Bay Hotel on Grand Bahama Island.

Data Updates
Keeping you up to date on the latest data releases.
September 2014
- 03.15.2012
- Producer Price Index
- The Producer Price Index (PPI) for finished goods jumped up at an annualized rate of 4.4 percent in February, contrasting recent soft readings that include a modest 1.2 percent increase in January and a 1.2 decline in December. Energy prices (mostly gasoline) jumped up 17.3 percent, accounting for much of the overall increase. On the other hand, producer prices for finished consumer foods declined 1.2 percent during the month, its third straight decline. On a year-over-year basis, the headline PPI is up 3.3 percent, which is above its longer-term (20-year) growth rate of 2.3 percent, but is well off its recent cyclical high of 7.2 percent set last September. Excluding food and energy prices, the "core" PPI rose 2.0 percent in February, after a 6.2 percent spike in January. Interestingly, the a third of February's modest increase can be tied to a single component: pharmaceutical preparations. The near-term (3-month) annnualized growth rate in the core PPI edged up from 2.7 percent to 3.6 percent in February, slightly above its 12-month growth rate of 3.0 percent. Further back on the production line, pricing pressure was mixed, as core intermediate goods prices jumped up 13.3 percent in February—well above its 2.5 percent year-over-year growth rate, and core crude goods prices slipped down 3.1 percent—in line with its 12-month growth rate of −2.5 percent.

The Eagles recorded a season high nine sacks this afternoon. Casey Matthews, Brian Rolle & Phillip Hunt all recorded their first career sacks while Trent Cole and Jason Babin had three a piece. That puts Babin at 15 sacks, which tied him for the NFL lead briefly. However, Jared Allen had three of his own today to reclaim the lead.
Babin's 15 sacks this season are the 7th most ever for the Eagles and the most for the franchise since 2000, when Hugh Douglas also had 15. Only three Eagles have ever posted more than 15 sacks in a season (Reggie White 3X, Clyde Simmons 2X, and Greg Brown).
Kurt Coleman got his team leading 4th interception today. Like his others, it was an overthrown that pass that came pretty much right to him. But that's certainly not a knock. You have to make plays when they are there to be made and Coleman has done that when errant passes have come his way.

Why Deflation Isn't Harmful — Jörg Guido Hülsmann
This is lecture 8 in a series of talks about the Introduction to Austrian Economics which was recorded September 2005, Klampenborg - Denmark. You can see the full lecture here. There is also the great and concise: "Deflation: The Biggest Myths":
- Myth #1: You cannot earn a living and make profits when the price level falls
- Myth #2: While falling prices are good, lacking aggregate demand is bad
- Myth #3: You cannot earn a living and make profits when the money supply shrinks
- Myth #4: Deflation entails slower economic growth than inflation
- Myth #5: Deflation is particularly burdensome for lower-income groups
- Myth #6: Deflation destroys the credit of the state
- Myth #7: Deflation creates unemployment
- Myth #8: Deflation entails unequal and arbitrary burdens for the citizens
- Myth #9: It will take decades to settle deflation-induced legal disputes
- Myth #10: Deflation confers no positive net benefit
- Myth #11: Letting deflation happen is "passivism"
"Inflation's standard definition is too narrow to provide an appreciation of the extent of its harm; it is far more than a deterioration of the currency's purchasing power. It's also much more than a "hidden tax." Government's perennial fiat inflation is a subtle WMD. Consider the following:
In funding wars, it allows government to ignore the fiscal resistance of its citizens.
It benefits the central government at the expense of secondary and tertiary governments.
It turns moral hazard and irresponsibility into an institution, and guarantees recurring economic crises.
By making credit cheap, it encourages businesses to finance their ventures through borrowing rather than equity. Because of market competition, few firms can resist the offer of low credit, making them more dependent on banks. As Pius XI noted in 1931, it puts a dictatorship in the hands of lenders who regulate the lifeblood of the entire economic system.
Fiat inflation drives people to invest in capital markets where few will have the expertise, time, and inclination to monitor their investments properly. In former times people could save simply by holding gold and silver coins.
Under a perennially increasing price level, the average citizen finds his best strategy is personal debt, which weakens self-reliance and independence.
Under chronic fiat inflation, people will tend to choose their employment based on monetary returns. Money then becomes the prime or only consideration for personal happiness.
Perennial inflation deteriorates product quality. Industries that cannot compensate for inflation with technological innovation turn to other means, such as producing an inferior product under the same name. Lying, which is bound up with fractional-reserve banking, tends to spread like a cancer over the rest of society.
By fueling the exponential growth of the welfare state, fiat inflation fosters the decline of the family. Families become degraded into "small production units that share utility bills, cars, refrigerators, and especially the tax bill." The welfare state drives the family and private charities out of the "welfare market."
As Hülsmann concludes, "fiat inflation is a juggernaut of social, economic, cultural, and spiritual destruction."
— George F. Smith, The Case For Natural Money
(Source: conza)
The unprecedented success of Keynesianism is due to the fact that it provides an apparent justification for the "deficit spending" policies of contemporary governments. It is the pseudo-philosophy of those who can think of nothing else than to dissipate the capital accumulated by previous generations.
Yet no effusions of authors however brilliant and sophisticated can alter the perennial economic laws. They.. work and take care of themselves. Not-withstanding all the passionate fulminations of the spokesmen of governments, the inevitable consequences of inflationism and expansionism as depicted by the "orthodox" economists are coming to pass. And then, very late indeed, even simple people will discover that Keynes did not teach us how to perform the "miracle… of turning a stone into bread," but the not at all miraculous procedure of eating the seed corn.
Clarke and Dawe explain Quantitative Easing
Oops, it's not going to work?
1. Don't think Krugman or Keynesian economists support war for the sake of benefitting the economy. This misconception stems from the analysis that WWII, a time of total war and production for war, this led to high levels of employment and helped bring an end to the depression.
I guess I should say thanks for giving me the opportunity to back these up? Cheers. Most of the sources here directly link to ones that contain the requested material. Two birds with one stone. Enjoy.
Keynesian economists and Krugman actually do support the broken window fallacy.
- Krugman's war fantasies by William Anderson
- Does Capitalism Require War? by D.W. MacKenzie (commentary on Krugman throughout)
- Posted by Lew Rockwell on June 5, 2011
Writes Andrew Penn Fitzgerald:
Actual quote from Krugman on 'This Week' this morning: "If we had the threat of war, had a military buildup, you'd be amazed at how fast this economy would recover."
And here I thought that we were currently waging offensive war in at least four countries with troops in more than 150 foreign countries and currently spend more on our military than every other country in the world combined. Clearly we just need to do more in the militarist direction (similar to Krugman's other advice that we throw more money down the bailout hole to make it work)."
- A compulsory draft is AMAZING at reducing "unemployment", you know - forcing people to join the army and get shipped off to die in war does wonders for reducing the % of employable people.
- Check out Robert Higgs lectures; totally demolishes the myth that the war ended the depression.
- Disastrous Economic Fallacies - Terror as Stimulus? [2min video] *Another Krugman quote.
2. Even if you pay people for seemingly menial or unimportant tasks, the people working these jobs generally will either have been unemployed or have a low enough income that they spend what they make, thus one accomplishes both putting people back to work and increasing personal consumption/spending levels.
- Public Works Mean Taxes - Economics in One Lesson, Henry Hazlitt.
- Fetish of Full Employment - Economics in One Lesson, Henry Hazlitt.
3. Find me an article where Krugman supports a housing bubble, or any bubble for that matter.
It'd be my absolute pleasure.
- Krugman Did Cause the Housing Bubble by Mark Thornton
- Krugman's Intellectual Waterloo by Daniel James Sanchez
Last Monday evening, Lew Rockwell, from a tip by someone named "Travis," posted this damning quote of Paul Krugman's from a 2002 New York Times editorial:
"To fight this recession the Fed needs…soaring household spending to offset moribund business investment. [So] Alan Greenspan needs to create a housing bubble to replace the Nasdaq bubble."
Krugman. 2002. Calling for a housing bubble.
4. "Debt" isn't killing the economy. And "debt" isn't the only problem. More like, "Unemployment stagnating economic growth? Spending will fix that".
- "The annual government deficit, plus the annual interest payment that keeps rising as the total debt accumulates, increasingly channels scarce and precious private savings into wasteful government boondoggles, which "crowd out" productive investments. Establishment economists, including Reaganomists, cleverly fudge the issue by arbitrarily labeling virtually all government spending as "investments," making it sound as if everything is fine and dandy because savings are being productively "invested." In reality, however, government spending only qualifies as "investment" in an Orwellian sense; government actually spends on behalf of the "consumer goods" and desires of bureaucrats, politicians, and their dependent client groups. Government spending, therefore, rather than being "investment," is consumer spending of a peculiarly wasteful and unproductive sort, since it is indulged not by producers but by a parasitic class that is living off, and increasingly weakening, the productive private sector." ~ Repudiating the National Debt, Murray N. Rothbard
5. Again, I'd ask when Krugman ever advocated that, and would also say there are times when either inflation or deflation are ways to correct economic fluctuations.
- Krugman Strikes Again by Peter Schiff
"In today's column, Krugman analyzes the Greek debt crisis, arguing that the best solution for Athens would be to simply inflate away its debt burden with printing-press money. Krugman laments that this sensible option is being foreclosed by the monetary priggishness of the German heavyweights in the European Union, who are "foolishly" seeking to prevent inflation and impose fiscal discipline." ~ April 12, 2010.
- Inflation and Deflation, Human Action by Ludwig von Mises
6. This one doesn't really make an argument, but rather seems to assert that your own belief is we are spending too much.
More a fact that I accept, as opposed to a 'belief' which requires faith.
7. This actually would be more beneficial to the economy, as anyone who has taken even one economics course knows that consumer spending is an essential part of any economy and yet human behavior is irrational in that when the economy slows instead of spending and pumping money to help get businesses moving and people hired, the savings rate increases thus further exacerbating the problem in the first place. Those with more disposable income ought to spend it. Just saying.
Hate to burst your bubble [pun intended ;D], but that 'economics' course you took - whilst being an appeal to authority fallacy - was also a waste of time & money. Don't worry, I was also forced to sit through them aswell.
- Consumers Don't Cause Depression by Robert P. Murphy
"There's one saving grace about Paul Krugman's column at the New York Times: when an Austrian economist wants to explain how mainstream economics leads to ruin, he can always trust Krugman to set up the target in a clear, concise manner. This saves us a lot of work, because we don't have to first build up the position before knocking it down."
Long story short, I get this is supposed to be a joke, or "meme" but with little backing and sense to these particular ones I don't think this is anything more than partisan mockery of legitimate challenges to your own economic viewpoints.
A long story short… "It's funny because it's true."
Drunken Ben Bernanke Tells Everyone At Neighborhood Bar How Screwed U.S. Economy Really Is
SEWARD, NE—Claiming he wasn't afraid to let everyone in attendance know about "the real mess we're in," Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke reportedly got drunk Tuesday and told everyone at Elwood's Corner Tavern about how absolutely fucked the U.S. economy actually is.
Bernanke, who sources confirmed was "totally sloshed," arrived at the drinking establishment at approximately 5:30 p.m., ensconced himself upon a bar stool, and consumed several bottles of Miller High Life and a half-dozen shots of whiskey while loudly proclaiming to any patron who would listen that the economic outlook was "pretty goddamned awful if you want the God's honest truth."
"Look, they don't want…
Hahaha, up yours Benny Bernank.

CELT Learning Catalyst Fellows
CELT is dedicated to the enhancement of student learning. The CELT Learning Catalyst Fellows are instructional faculty and instructional staff who "catalyze"—stimulate, promote, motivate, encourage—student learning and are willing to talk about how they do it. CELT will recognize up to one Learning Catalyst Fellow from each of the seven Academic Colleges each year. Fellows will share their strategies and techniques with others in their College and at the annual CELT Conference.
2013-2014 Learning Catalyst Fellows
Previous CELT Director Sara Cooper and Learning Catalyst Award winners for 2013-2014 at the annual CELT Conference. From left to right: Bev Marcum, David Shirah, Maria Sudduth, Denise Minor, and Bill Maligie. Not pictured: Jessie Dizard and Celina Phillips.
See below for more information about each of the award recipients.
Behavioral and Social Sciences -- Jessie Dizard
In Dr. Jesse Dizard's Teaching Philosophy, he proposes that one of his goals is to "instill a ravenous curiosity to learn," and according to his students and peers he does exactly that. Dr. Dizard's nominator, grad student Maija Glasier-Lawson, explains that their "first substantial interactions were during the completion of the film, "California Indian Voices". Working on this project had a transformative effect on my conceptions of anthropology and solidified what I want to do with my career." Graduate Equity Fellow Jeff Bryant says, "He moderated discussions with lucidity and eloquence, challenged us, and at the same time created a disarming atmosphere that encouraged students to become invested." Undergraduate senior Shannon Johnson says, "His methods of professing are uniquely engaging and inspire a sort of excellence from his students who are usually eager to meet his expectations." Graduate Student Tamba Sellu calls him "helpful, patient, encouraging, inspiring." Robert Stevens enthuses, "He's truly taught me a life-long lesson, and that's to engage." In sum, Professor Dizard embodies exactly the qualities imagined by the CELT Advisory Board to be most central to a Learning Catalyst Fellow, and we congratulate him heartily for winning this deserved recognition.
Business -- Bill Maligie
An indispensable asset for the College of Business, Bill Maligie has taught courses in three of their four departments. Maligie's excellent student evaluations stem in part from his unique approach to teaching; in his own words, "I have come to understand that learning is an active process in which the learner uses sensory input and constructs meaning from it. I facilitate this learning concept by the use of audio, visual, and sometimes tactile sensory inputs." Bill Maligie's Student Evaluations of Teaching scores reflect a high level of student respect in all areas; representative remarks emphasize his passion, his incorporation of real world examples, and willingness to help students. In 2009 he was recognized for Excellence in Online Instruction in his MKTG 477: International Marketing. Interim Dean Julie Indvick says, "Without a doubt, he is committed to student success and enhancement of student learning. He has been and continues to be one of the best instructors in the College." The CELT Advisory Board applauds Professor Maligie for his contributions to the university as a catalyst for student learning.
Agriculture -- Celina Phillips
So many students submitted letters about Dr. Celina Phillips that I can't quote them all! Animal Science Senior Kate Moore writes, "She is passionate about teaching and it creates enthusiasm for the material during her lectures. She constantly adds new material or different methods of instruction in her classes." Masters student Audra Harl adds that she "inspires creativity" and "encouraged [her] love for learning." Senior Haley Imhof notes that Celina "wants us to challenge ourselves and not to be satisfied with anything less than being excellent." Associate Dean David Daley praises many aspects of Dr. Phillips' teaching and advising, but especially points out her commitment to the learning of real world skills, symbolized in her extra-curricular role as faculty supervisor of the sheep/goat enterprise—done completely out of hide, pun intended. Daley asserts that "this is one of those assignments that you can only appreciate if you love teaching and you understand the value in hands-on education." This is simply part and parcel of Professor Phillips' basic philosophy of teaching—that "to be successful in motivating students, a faculty member must show the same commitment to education that the faculty expect from the student." Dean Jennifer Ryder-Fox sums things up perfectly in saying that "Celina's entire approach to student learning is as a catalyst, i.e., she presents students with information and experiences that lights them up with a passion for learning." Kudos, Celina!
Humanities and Fine Arts -- Denise Minor
In addition to teaching Spanish and a strong new GE course, Dr. Denise Minor is the key instructor for the Spanish Pre-Credential Major. She is catalyzing learning in our students and helping future teachers learn to do the same. Spanish senior and Teaching Assistant Derek O'Bar credits Dr. Minor for his decision to make Spanish his major. Speaking of his 4 semesters of experience working with the Spanish Speaking Conversation Hour, Derek states that "Professor Minor has helped me and my fellow T.A.s spread the learning of Spanish to students who otherwise would not have been interested. She has personally helped me create numerous activities that allow Spanish to be accessible to students of all levels of comprehension." Chair of International Languages, Literatures & Cultures Patricia Black points out that "part of her research at the doctoral level showed her the effect of incentives on language acquisition, and she uses those insights on a daily basis to ramp up the performance of students and create improvement." Her eclectic and experientially based teaching philosophy clearly results in students'perceptions of excellence—she has been rated as superior by a healthy majority of her students for the last seven semesters running. In her GE course on Bilingualism, students said, "Her making an effort to get to know us was nice," and "She is very passionate about the class, which makes it easier and fun to learn." The CELT Board wants to thank Denise for her tireless dedication to student learning!
Natural Sciences -- Bev Marcum
Jeff Bell, Chair of the Department of Biological Sciences, tells us that Dr. Beverly Marcum "runs multiple workshops for local teachers where they learn how to teach science in an engaging way to their own students by actually doing the lab experiments themselves, talking about the results and the pedagogy, fine-tuning the experiments, and then taking the knowledge back to their own schools… The "hands-on lab" brings school children on to our campus to do hands-on science, and Chico State students serve as their facilitators and mentors. The excitement and energy of the children experiencing science in the hands-on lab is remarkable. It is also a wonderful way for our students (both liberal studies and science majors) to explore first-hand the joys of teaching." Dr. Marcum's teaching philosophy states clearly and simply her goal: "My objective for all students is to nurture or reawaken their sense of wonder. In doing so, it is important to empower critical thinking, investigative processes and transform that sense of wonder into productive,life-long learning." To do so, Bev Marcum employs a variety of pedagogical tools, from establishing a safe learning environment to instituting check-in activities at ten minutes intervals. However, sometimes the science of learning pales in comparison to personal characteristics. As one of her students said on a student evaluation, "Dr. Marcum is a super enthusiastic teacher." Her chair says that "Her enthusiasm is catching and is what makes her the perfect "catalyst."… [for] students, her colleagues, and the K – 12 teachers in our service area." On behalf of the CELT Board, I say, keep up the good work!
Communication and Education -- Maria Sudduth
Instead of the sage on the stage, Professor Maria Sudduth sees herself as the guide on the side. Her Teaching Philosophy poem metaphorically expressed this: "We are harmony in progress/I provide you with the compositions/You provide me with the symphonies." The School of Education Personnel Committee applauds her as an "exemplary teacher" with superior SET scores and "peer evaluations [that] consistently describe her teaching as innovative and engaging." Esther Larocco and Chuck Zartman of the Center for Bilingual/Multicultural Studies enthusiastically enumerate her inspired work, explaining that, "She has created an online community where current bilingual student teachers not only network with each other, but also with Bilingual Program graduates who have become experienced teachers. The online community creates an opportunity for mentorship as well as a vehicle for graduates to maintain their currency in the field." Chico State graduate Kendra Scanlon recently wrote to Maria Sudduth, saying: "Everything I was taught and learned is evident in this school and I am so grateful I had you as a professor because if I had not I may have gone to the school and thought it was crazy but it is my dream school, where I will be allowed to explore and grow!" It is no surprise to read SOE Director Debborah Summers' assurance that "faculty look to Ms. Sudduth as an instructional leader." We are ready to learn from your inspirational example, Maria, and we congratulate you for being a learning catalyst!
Engineering, Computer Science, and Construction Management -- David Shirah
In the words of Interim Dean Ben Juliano, David Shirah has "a passion to stimulate, promote, motivate, and encourage student learning." For this reason he has won numerous awards, from the Associated Students Pearls of Wisdom to the Associate General Contractors of America's 2013 Outstanding Educator. Chair of Construction Management Rovane Younger emphatically states that "the evidence of his involvement as a principal manager/advisor/teacher in the five major CM-ledcommunity service projects, involving tens of thousands of volunteer hours of students, construction professionals, public officials, and teachers can only occur when one is a catalyst." David Shirah's students echo this sentiment. One writes simply, "Awesome job preparing us for the real world." Another elaborates, "His sense of humor in class helps ease the tension, but then how he teaches the material helps me learn it! This is the first class in a long time that I wake up and am excited to go to." Truthfully, student comments on the evaluations of teaching mirror almost exactly the teacher goals and objectives outlined in Shirah's Teaching Philosophy, demonstrating his resounding success in building the learning community he has set out to do in a very conscious manner. Since 2007 David Shirah has been inculcating a belief in Chico State students that "what they do in practice, they do in the game." Through Blitz Build, Design Build competitions, and regular classroom interactions, he is leading students to this realization. The CELT Board is delighted to honor David Shirah as a Learning Catalyst Fellow!
