One relatively simple and cheap change can be made to schooling to reduce opt out and drop out rates.
the majority of school systems use a model for reporting on achievement that is of the form A, B, C, D, E or 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 which denotes the performance in that year of learning. Where A (or 1) is high performing and E (or 7) is low performing. This system has the effect of telling students that they are passing (good) or failing (bad). Students who are slower learners or who start school with any form of deficit are more likely to categorise themselves as failures fom an early age. When this happens too often, they opt out or disengage, then eventually drop out. A better system is to describe achievment in terms of a fixed continuum that is continuous through the grades, at least for the early stages of schooling. What this means is that we describe signposts of learning at different stages that students 'move' through as they demonstrate success. This sends a different message to all students. It says 'here is where you are in your learning and now i can help you move to the next stage'. Instead of a message of pass fail good bad, of personal quality and position in school, the message is neutral and merely descriptive. The message implies that learning is a journey to be travelled in different ways and different speeds by individuals. Each report on a student would simply be that they were say 5.5 in Science, which means they are working at level 5 and have a 50% probability of working at level 6 in the next learning stage. It helps to personalise learning because teachers know were each student is in each field of learning and can create individual learning paths from that knowledge. It helps to retain students interest in continuing their schooling and so increase their chance of future successes. It helps minimise self attribution of negatives such as 'I can't do school'; 'I suck at science'; etc. This system has been used in Australia and seen to have the social benefits descibed. It is doable and meets all demands of the system.
Nov 1 2013: We need more and better teachers that take a personal interest in their students. We need students to grow together and learn to collaborate. We need to make schools a safe place for our children to grow up in. Solutions should address the quality of education and worry less about soothing the effects of failure. It seems to many people that performance must constantly be evaluated and I disagree. Performance is personal for all people. A good teacher gains the respect of their community by the smile on their children's faces but 40 students to one person is a bit of a stretch if he/she is doing the job properly.
Nov 1 2013: Not only do we need better teachers, also better parents. It is a fact that the more parents are engaged into their kids academics the better the kid will do in the long run. An example will be how different races react to certain parts of the childs education. You might want to look into Laurence Steinberg talk in BIGTHINK about why some races outperform others. The difference in the reaction between a black or hispanic parent to an Asian or Jewish parent are polar opposites. It does not mean that one race is better than the other, it just means the expectations are different. There are a few exceptions to this Idea, but in general this in the norm.
Nov 2 2013: Could not agree more. Take a look at those individuals who succeed that are black or hispanic. You will find usually that the parent's have set high expectations. Ben Carson and Vivien Thomas are 2 examples.Nov 2 2013: This is a response to all 3 comments.
In my 30 years of teaching and 20 years of being a head of svience in public high schools in Australia, I haven't seen many teachers who didn't want the best for their students. Teachers are positioned to do whatever they do by the system they work under.
As far as getting better parents is concerned, this is irrelevant. The parents are the parents and it is no point blaming the children for the parents. Race us likewise irrelevant. An unskilled parent is unskilled in any colour or race. What we need is a system where the weaknesses of the parents are minimised by the system. At the moment the system exacerbates any weaknesses. NOTE that I do not advocate equal outcomes for all. This will never happen. What I am advocating is a system that gives all kids equal access to at least 15 years of quality education regardless of their background by not positioning them too early to think of themselves as failures at school.

Nov 7 2013: This is a amazing idea, in this way, students will have more passion in seeking knowledge and "climb to the final stage." I mean it can be a huge motive for me! But just for noticing, there are few problems that can be happen through this grading system. Because each student has a different path of learning, it's hard for teachers to schedule classes; students might have a huge gap of stages in learning. Also, when some students finish the course earlier, it can also deal pressure on other students to doubt themselves which might cause other mental problem than only a feeling for failure. Plus, Because each student has a individualized learning path, there will be much more effort paid, in another word, this idea might met challenges while normalizing.
- +1
Nov 7 2013: Hello Kepu Li,
I have run these courses and it is not so hard. I design tasks for the students to do like 'design a mouse trap vehicle that can travel as far as possible' and student learn the physics tha goes with that then design, build and report on their car. Different students work at different stages and so it is not so difficult for me. Sometimes student can do different tasks of their own design, eg 1 student did a research project on 'becomin a midwife' because she was interested in that. She learned about biology and other things, while other students were working on diferent tasks. Each task can take from 4 to 8 weeks so I can sit with different groups at different times to help them. It is a little bit hard but not impossible. Most of each class actually ends up doing much the same thing with only a few doing different things. The main point is that as long as they engage in the work, they MUST improve, so they feel succesful, and the more they try the more successful they will be. Each student is always only competing with themselves to improve their position, not competing with anyone else.
Shahzad Alam
Nov 4 2013: There are a few principles I would like to share:
- +1
- the purpose of all evaluation must be to assist the students become able to evaluate himself/herself.
- understanding is multidimensional. It has breadth and depth. There are indicators that might help us know if someone is advancing in their understanding but it is impossible to grade or put a number to evaluate the degree of the depth of understanding. Only the student can have some understanding of whether he is advancing. And it is for this reason that evaluation but something that the student does for himself/herself.
- each student advance at their own pace and everyone must be allowed to advance at their own pace. Pitting two students with different pace against each other is destructive.
- education must focus more on advancing the understanding of concepts rather than assimilating information.
Nov 4 2013: Shahzad, I couldn't agree more. The problem for me as apracticing teacher is that bureaucrats want some measure of student performance, and I don't see any change to that any time soon. That's exactoy the reason I have experimented with different ways that cause less harm, while meeting the needs of the student, teacher and bureaucrats.
Shahzad Alam
Nov 5 2013: I totally agree and that is why I am currently working in an organization where we are learning about informal education system that does not need much funding and allows a lot of flexibility.Nov 2 2013: Some people have mentioned teachers and parents. The best of all worlds would be a partnership of parents and teachers to aid students to achieve the best that they can do. Unfortunately, this partnership is very evident in the elementary level but seems to disappear in the middle school to the point where some teachers do not want to see or communicate with the parents.
- +1
I know that the level of importance of the peer group increases but communication between the teachers and parents is key.Nov 2 2013: How about taking all the numbers out of the game. Make a course map and progress through modules on a competent / non-competent method. Test out of the module to advance. This allows each student to advance at their pace and identifies areas where assistance is needed.
Thanks Bob.
Nov 2 2013: Hi Robert. The numbers aren't actually critical at all. The reason I use the numbers is to meet the exoectations of educational policy makers half way. The main point I want to make is to reduce competition in school so that we reduce the unnecessary sense of failure in young students. Numbers in this form meet the needs of politicians and bureaucrats without imposing a sense of shame on students. I know there has been much talk on the need for students to experience failure so i want to clarify what I mean clearly. There are too sorts of failure, one is good and one is bad for mental health. Failure that you meet while working towards something you want is good failure, as long as you have some successes along the way. They are usually more like small setbacks that with more work you can overcome. It is good for people to develop resilience to cope with this type of failure. The bad type of failure is where a student labels themselves as a complete failure because they never or rarely have success and they decide it isn't worth trying anymore. This type of failure needs to be avoided in schools at all costs because it leafs to opting out and dropping out of school in the long run.
Nov 2 2013: Then my submission would work. Along with that ...... We have had the idea implanted that if you do not go to college you are a failure .... The easy solution to that would be to have dual syllabi one for college prep and one for manual/trades arts. To me that would be a win-win-win. The teachers would have students who are engaged and willing on both sides ... the kids would be where they wanted to be ... and the grade averages would soar .... everyone wins.
See ya. Bob.
Nov 2 2013: Your idea can work as long as that decision is not made too early and the syllsbuses have numerous crossover points. In which case my system is useful until the decision is made so that each student get the best general education until then.
bart hsi
Nov 1 2013: This kind of arrangement isore like the student learning in at least the college or graduate school. The teachers simply could not manage each and every student according to their micrological difference in the so-called fractional levels of many students, UNLESS STUDENT LEARNING ARE ALL MORE OR LESS IN SELF_LEARNING TRACK. If you still have to group students, say, with 5.6 to 5.9 into a separate group, then this will still be the old system with 0-100 average grades. Even in graduate schools, the tendency is to use S (satisfactory) or U (unsatisfactory) instead of the micromanagement by fractional levels. If you do decide to use mostly self-guidance by the students, it is still not very useful to test/examine every individual student to see whether the student advances from the level of 5.5 to 5.6. in every couple of weeks.
- 0
In other words, if most student learning are self guided, then there is not much value to examine too frequently to evaluate their level of qualification, otherwise, it's a little too much to waste their time of study in the level-certification of their effort.
Nov 2 2013: Bart, I have instituted this form of teaching and grading for a few years until politicians told me I had to stop. It can be done and you are cirrect that it becomes more like self guided learning. In practice what happens is that those who are very motivated drive their own learning quite well. Those who are not particularly motivated allow me to negotiate their learning based on their existing level (level 3, 4 etc). The main point is that some become very motivated, some progress more slowly but almost no-one opts out of the learning. In the system I used previously, a reasonably large proportion of students were opting out by 15 years of age. As far as testing goes, I was not testing much at all. I could make reasonable judgements based on the work they were doing for learning. An example of this would be to design and report on a vehicle powered by a mousetrap that could travel as far as possible. The learning was about physics, and their succes was judged by the discussions, the vehicle and the understandings shown in the reportNov 1 2013: Maybe you should argue for programmed learning or more like the military. Some have music skills some math some verbal,etc.Nov 1 2013: This is much easier to implement via some sort of automated online assessment system than in classroom-based instruction. I have seen districts do this. It is very expensive and has been extremely unpopular with both teachers and families.
If you do attach numbers, as you have in your example, it is pretty unlikely that students will not understand whether they have reached a comparable level of attainment to same age peers or whether they are far behind. By the time kids are old enough that dropping out is an issue, they are much more savvy, I think, than you are giving them credit for.
I have seen grade school report cards handled this way and have done assessments across a narrow band of skills and competencies this way, without numbers attached.

been used to treat many health
conditions. When paired with
traditional wound care, hyperbaric
oxygen therapy (HBOT)
can cure many difficult-totreat
wounds. These include
certain diabetic foot ulcers, leg sores due to poor
circulation, radiation-related tissue and bone damage and
some bone infections.
During HBOT, a patient sits in a special chamber and
breathes pure oxygen under pressure. This way, the
body absorbs more oxygen into the bloodstream where it
promotes the healing of certain chronic wounds.

for a trained staff member to stay in the chamber
during treatments for your care and comfort,
and helps decrease feelings of isolation and
claustrophobia that some people experience in

Beatles Mobile Pop-Up Stores Hit NY and LA
Earlier this week (November 13) Beatles fans in New York and Los Angeles were treated to mobile Beatle "pop-up shops." The "shops" were customized double decker buses, which made several stops. The buses served to promote the release of the Beatles' catalog on 180-gram vinyl LPs. The stores sold the LPs collectively as a box set, as well as individually; Beatles CDs and other merchandise was also on sale. In each city, a unique commemorative shirt from the event was sold (and sold quickly to eager Beatles collectors).

Hang tight!
Recipe by Ann Marie
"Honey chicken kabobs with veggies. You can marinate overnight and make these kabobs for an outdoor barbecue as a tasty alternative to the usual barbecue fare! Fresh mushrooms and cherry tomatoes can also be used. (This can also be done in the broiler.)"

1/4 cup
vegetable oil
1/3 cup
1/3 cup
soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon
ground black pepper
skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into 1 inch cubes
2 cloves
5 small
onions, cut into 2 inch pieces
red bell peppers, cut into 2 inch pieces
This is an excellent recipe, and lives up to all the reviews. A few things to remember. 1. Double the sauce, or you won't have enough. 2. If you're going to baste with the sauce, do it in the last minutes of of grilling. 3. Marinating the chicken and veggies is a MUST, and the longer the better. I put the chicken and veggies in separate zip-lock bags, and left them for about 8 hours. Every time I went to the fridge I turned the bags over. 4. If you're using wooden skewers, don't forget to soak them in water for a few hours, or they'll burn...I hate it when that happens. 5. If you lower your grill temperature a bit, you'll be able to put the veggies and chicken on the same skewers and they'll come out cooked to perfection. Place your hand about 2 inches over the heated grill surface. If you can hold your hand there for three seconds, then you've got the right grill temperature. If you have to take your hand away sooner, it's too hot. Oh, and you've got to add some pineapple chunks. Keep the faith and keep cooking.
Was a good recipe, but even after marinating overnight, not enough flavor for us. Made it Asian style by cooking it in a wok, then added broccoli and peppers and served with rice. Next time will keep a lot more sauce aside to top at the end. With the extra sauce, it will probably be a 4 star recipe!

This was really good. The only thing that I did differently was to put all the chicken together on skewers and the veggies together on skewers. This way, if the veggies got done first they didn't burn while waiting for the chicken.
Have tried this recipe 3 - 4 times over the past year with different cuts of chicken, etc. The absolute best way is to buy chicken thighs (bone in) and marinate for a minimum of 24 - 30 hours. I make batches of them and put 10-12 pieces in the fridge at a time. My family uses them as "grab and go's". Wonderful recipe!!!
5+++! These kabobs were SO tender & flavorful. I marinated them all day using low-salt soy sauce, canola oil, the honey, black pepper, & fresh minced garlic. Added just a touch of cayenne pepper to the marinade and it was great! Doubled the marinade as I did not want my veggies marinating in the same mixture as the chicken. To grill, on one skewer, used red & orange bell peppers, and a red onion, as that is what I had on hand and these required different cooking times than the meat and other veggies used. On another skewer, did zucchini, grape & cherry tomatoes from our garden. And on another, used pineapple chunks. Thank you, Ann Marie!
This is a very tasty and versatile recipe! I haven't had any trouble with lack of flavor; in fact, the other night I made this last minute and it only marinated about 30 minutes and was still delicious. The kabobs are great, but one of my favorite ways to use this is as a sandwich: leave the chicken breasts intact, or cut in half to fit a hamburger bun. Otherwise, follow the recipe for marinating the chicken (I did put the garlic and onion in the marinade for flavor). Serve on a bun (I prefer whole wheat) with swiss cheese melted on top, honey mustard, and toppings of your choice (lettuce, tomato, onion, etc). Yum! If you make extra chicken, try the leftovers sliced on a salad for lunch the next day.
I used this mix with a stir fry! It was wonderful on top of chicken fried rice! I placed the chicken strips in a bowl with the marinade and then place the whole thing in a wok and let it cook together, then drained 3/4 of the marinade and cooked for 5 minutes and served on top of rice, AWESOME!
We had a BBQ for July 4th and decided to serve these for something a little different. They were a hit!! People are still talking about them 2 months later. We marinated shrimp in addition to the chicken and added pineapple to the skewers. They were fabulous.

Yesterday I installed Swype Keyboard to replace SlideIT. At first Swype was working but today it only lets me press the keys and not drag my finger. I think I briefly saw a message saying "dragging is not allowed in this mode" but it went away fast. I've tried disabling and enabling and selecting Swype again but not good. How can I fix this?

This happens when you use Link2SD or Apps2SD and move either the Swype App or the Swype installer App to your SD card. To fix it, move the installer and Swype back to the phone and reboot.
I found some of this information on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1042241 the rest I figured out by trying things.
You don't say anything about what phone or Android version you currently have. But Android 4.2 includes now a Swype-like gestual typing keyboard.
There is a downloadable version for you to install, if your phone supports it.
This is most likely due to a licensing issue.
You should uninstall Swype and then use the Swype installer to install it again.

I wonder what the pressure difference is?

Seasoned Advice is a question and answer site for professional and amateur chefs. It's 100% free, no registration required.
Espresso is brewed by passing high pressure water through the coffee at a temperature lower than 100°C (i.e. not boiling water).
Guidelines from the Istituto Nazionale Espresso Italiano state that the entry water pressure is 9 ± 1 bar and the entry water temperature is 88 ± 2°C (67 ± 3°C in the cup). The coffe is brewed for 25 ± 2.5 s.
French press coffee, instead, is brewed by leaving the coffee for 2-4 minutes at atmospheric pressure (no high pressure involved) in 90-95°C water. The press in the name has nothing to do with high pressure, is just describing the fact that you press down the coffee grounds with the piston once it is brewed.

Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is a chronic and progressive autoimmune disorder that affects about one percent of the US population (1). Existing therapies treat the symptoms of the disease but not the underlying cause, and are associated with numerous side effects (2). The activity of Protein Arginine Deiminase 4 (PAD4), one of four known active PAD isozymes, is increased in RA; where it is thought to generate a subset of antigens that the immune system recognizes as foreign (3). Genetic, serological, and biochemical evidence suggests that dysregulated PAD4, and potentially PAD2, activities play a role in both the onset and progression of RA (1). Cl-amidine, a compound that specifically inactivates PAD4, reduces disease severity and incidence in the collagen-induced model of arthritis (CIA) (unpublished observations). However, because Cl-amidine inhibits all of the PAD isozymes with equipotency, it is unclear whether the observed reduction in disease severity is due to the inhibition of single or multiple PADs. This is particularly relevant because both PAD 2 and 4 are overexpressed in the joints of patients with RA (4). Thus, the identification of PAD selective inhibitors would facilitate the characterization of their individual contributions to the onset and progression of RA and represent a promising novel therapeutic approach for RA.

Assay Overview:
The purpose of this assay is to assess the potency of test compounds for inhibition of PAD4 using a substrate-based assay. In this assay, the target enzyme is pre-incubated with test compound followed by addition of substrate Na-benzoyl-L-arginine ethyl ester HCl (BAEE). The percent activity remaining is determined by measuring the amount of citrulline produced using a standard colorimetric absorbance assay. Test compounds that act as PAD4 inhibitors will prevent the production of citrulline. IC50 values for inhibition of recombinant PAD4 were determined from dose-response curves from 2 trials at each inhibitor concentration in a 7-point dilution series from 0 to 500 uM.
Protocol Summary:
Recombinant PAD4 (0.2 uM) in assay buffer (50 mM NaCl, 10 mM CaCl2, 2 mM DTT, 100 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.6) was treated with test compound (0-500 uM final concentration; stock in DMSO) for 15 minutes at 37 C. Substrate BAEE (10 mM) was added, and the reaction was incubated for 15 minutes at 37 C in 60 uL total reaction volume. The reaction was quenched by flash freezing in liquid nitrogen, and a color-developing reagent for detection of the enzymatic byproduct citrulline (COLDER; 200 uL), which consists of solution A (80 mM diacetyl monoxime and 2 mM thiosemicarbazide) and solution B (3 M H3PO4, 6 M H2SO4, and 2 mM NH4Fe(SO4)2) in a 1:3 ratio, was added. This mixture was incubated for 30 minutes at 95 C and the absorbance was measured at 540 nm. The amount of product produced was determined by comparison to a standard curve with known concentrations of citrulline.
%_Inhibition = 1 - ( ( ABStest - Blank ) / Correction_Factor ) / ( ( ABSDMSO - Blank ) / Correction_Factor )
ABStest is defined as absorbance at 540 nm for target treated with test compound.
ABSDMSO is defined as absorbance at 540 nm for target treated with DMSO.
Blank is defined as the absorbance of a blank sample at 540 nm.
Correction_Factor is defined as the correction factor generated from a standard curve of known concentrations of citrulline.
The percent activity remaining was fit to the following equation using GraFit (version 5.0.11):
Fractional_Activity = 1 / ( 1 + ( Conc / IC50 ) )
Conc is the concentration of inhibitor.
IC50 is the concentration of inhibitor that yields half-maximal activity.
PubChem Activity Outcome and Score:
Compounds with IC50 values less than or equal to 1 uM were considered active. Compounds with IC50 values less than 1 uM were considered inactive.
The PubChem Activity Score range for inactive compounds is 0-0. There are no active compounds.

Using a Millermatic 350/P... I've got to follow the parameters of an approved weld procedure specification pretty close, namely Amps, Volts and Wire Feed Speed.
I can see how to adjust Volts and Wire Feed Speed, however how can I adjust the amperage, and how do I see the machine is actually operating within the amperage range I need to stay within according to the WPS?
Other welding machines I've used in the past had dials and gauges for both Amps and Volts.

When trigger is released on a MIG gun, spool gun, or push-pull gun, the last actual amperage and voltage will be shown on the displays for 5 seconds. The VOLTS and AMPS indicator lights will illuminate under the displays and each value will appear in the corresponding display.
If a programmed value requires adjustment after the arc is extinguished and during the 5 seconds display of actual values, turning either knob will cause actual values in the displays to be replaced by programmed values for adjustment purposes.

portobello mushroom caps
1/4 cup
balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons
olive oil
1 teaspoon
dried basil
1 teaspoon
dried oregano
1 tablespoon
minced garlic
salt and pepper to taste
4 (1 ounce) slices
provolone cheese
This recipe is excellent. However, I don't have a grill so the first time I broiled them on a cookie sheet with tin foil. They came out great, but I found that the marinated made them slightly runny. Next time I made them I placed them on a wire rack with a cookie sheet under it and broiled it for the same amount of time - about 5 minutes on both sides. Came out fantastic!
Update: I've made these burgers so many times now, they're that good. To add some extra flavour, chop 2-3 onions and sauté them for at least 20 minutes on low heat with olive oil and butter. Viola, caramelized onions, which taste AMAZING with these burgers. One final note for those who didn't like the vinegar taste: a good balsamic is essential. The cheap stuff (under 5 bucks) is gross and overpowering. Buy a good bottle (you'll use less) and it tastes much sweeter.
Portobello mushrooms are really crimini mushrooms that were allowed to grow to a larger size for a realtaste of beef peel the top of the mushroom from the outside edge th the center rotating as you go and spoon out the gills with a soup spoon, then marinate in fresh lime juice turning every 20 min. then grill and sit bak ...you'll swear your eating a hamburger...enjoy

Wow! The cheese really makes this a treat. I tried grilling this on my Foreman grill for just a few minutes, and it comes out perfect!
Honestly, as a real meat lover, I could replace hamburger forever with grilled portobello! The taste is beyond belief. Simplified things a bit, as some men might. Just used a dish of olive oil, added a dash of salt and pepper and brushed it on. I also did the same to 1/2" thick cuts of onion and grilled them side by side (onions a little longer of course). When they were both finished, I topped the mushroom with the thick cut onion and topped that with provilone. What a surpise I am telling you. Good luck and Thank you!
better than sex
I love this recipe and can eat this every day. I serve this on a whole grain bun with some roasted red peppers, a slice of red onion, and red (or green)lettuce. An excellent sandwich! I have also broiled the mushrooms in my toaster oven, and the results are just as good as grilling them.
Absolutely delicious! My husband was surprised at how meaty and satisfying these were. I used fresh basil as opposed to dried and they turned out great. I also only marinated them for about 10 minutes since I have had experiences in the past where the mushrooms soak up too much of the vinegar and end up tasting sour. A great vegetarian alternative!
I scaled this down to serve one (incl marinade - didn't double the vinegar), and it turned out great. Took another reviewer's advice and added fresh basil, which was delish. Swapped feta for provolone. Broiled the mushrooms (along with rings of onion to go on top) in my tiny toaster oven, and it worked out just fine. Used ciabatta bread, which I'll change next time to something less dense. Delicious, reliable marinade for mushrooms. Thanks for the recipe.

Gallery: Interpretive Facility at Red Rocks Canyon Responds to the Unto...
Located just 20 minutes outside the bright and busy Las Vegas Strip, this serene desert landscape is known as a destination for rock climbers and for its beautiful red stained landscape. The new visitor arrival building provides 38,500 sq feet of outdoor exhibits, a remodel of the existing visitor center building to house administrative functions, and a new Visitor Contact/Fee Station. The landscape beyond is artfully incorporated into both the indoor and outdoor exhibits, enticing visitors to go further and explore. All the exhibits aim to educate on environmental topics pertaining to the surrounding ecosystem, how the building works to conserve resources, and how to be a good environmental steward.
As visitors arrive, they enter under the "Big Hat", which is a large overhanging roof that creates an intermediate thermal transition zone between the outside and the conditioned interior spaces. This roof also harvests rainwater for use in landscape irrigation and interpretive exhibits. High-efficiency mechanical systems, evaporative coolers, daylighting, high efficiency lighting and the use of shade devices all help to minimize energy use. Shade is a critical element in any desert architecture in order to minimize and mitigate solar heat gain and encourage natural ventilation.
Meanwhile solar water heating, a 60 kW photovoltaic system, and transpired solar wall system all take advantage of free energy from the sun. Outdoor zones are sheltered and shaded to create climatic comfort in order to minimize indoor conditioned space. The new facility was completed in 2010 and has since earned LEED Gold certification, which is a fitting tribute to the surrounding vistas.

Comments On Jan 05, 2013:Ok so I bought these and installed them fairly easily. I went out for a ride and laid my bike down on the first turn... the mount on the left side broke right away. So after attaching them back on and breaking them off again. I decided to get some Tusk aluminum hand guards and attach the Polisport hand guards to the Tusk ones. By far the best hand guards I've ever had. The mounts they come with are weak but the hand guards are very nice.

Comments On May 18, 2010:I bought hand guards for my sons Raptor 80 and they couldn't cover the length of his hand brakes they just fell to short over all.I figured if he has a mini maybe they might fit the Raptor 80 but I was wrong! We actually mounted them on his old Yamaha PW-50 and they suited the dirt bike fine but not the quad.These hand guards are perfect for tiny dirt bikes & atv's that are from 40-50cc and no hire than that or they won't fit.I actually mounted the Tusk hand guards on the Raptor-80 and they were a perfect fit.

Thank you for sharing that, Stephen66515. My motto (which my wife fortunately agrees with) is: love me, love my dog.
Love your pets like they love you, and never dismiss them as "Just an animal" ... They are part of our families and part of our lives...and if you have committed to getting a pet, you should treat them as good as you would a child.
Damn Straight!
Nice to see we all agree

1 pound
Italian sausage
1 clove
garlic, minced
2 (14 ounce) cans
beef broth
1 (14.5 ounce) can
Italian-style stewed tomatoes
1 cup
sliced carrots
1 (14.5 ounce) can
great Northern beans, undrained
2 small
zucchini, cubed
2 cups
spinach - packed, rinsed and torn
1/4 teaspoon
ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon
I made this yesterday for the first time - EXCELLENT!!!!! Based on reviews I read I did the following: 1) used three sweet sausages and two hot ones (which I first cooked in my George Foreman Grille) 2) used 2 cloves of garlic, used 2 more cups of broth*(chicken), 3) used two cans of stewed tomatoes, 4) used 1 pkg of frozen spinach -- not fresh 5) added 1/2 cup of raw orzo noodles, 6) added 1 cubed potato, 7)added 1 chopped onion, 8) did not use the 1/4 teaspoon of salt. *NOTE: for the extra broth I make my own by using Herb-Ox Granulated VERY LOW SODIUM - only 5 grams of sodium per teaspoon compared to ca. 800 grams in the regular kind - 26 servings per jar.
I had this soup recommended to me on here. I liked that it used a lot of vegetables I had in the house and the idea of adding spinach on top which I may try on other soups to add in some extra vegetables. But, I did not care for how salty it seemed from the broth and for the sausage. But, I have never liked soup with sausage, even at the restaurants, so it may just be personal taste. I wasn't going to add it, but other people were going to be eating it. I think I may have liked it more without the meat, a low sodium broth, and a little pasta.

This is our family's favorite soup. We've made it a dozen times. Be sure to buy sausage without the MSG to avoid the headaches and allergic reations. I've made this substituting potatoes for beans, okra for zuchini, pintos for northern beans, adding rice, etc. It always turns out delicious and satisfying. Don't put the spinach in until the last few minutes so that it stays green and firmer. Frozen is great, but make sure it's chopped. The big, fat leaves don't work as well. This soup also freezes well. We had a pot of it last night that I had frozen two weeks ago.
I would give this recipe 6 stars if I could! I make it at least once a month, even in the Summertime. A few changes I've made over time: I add a chopped onion and double the garlic. I use HOT Italian sausage (do this if you like a little extra kick). I use 3 cans of beef broth, and make sure it is LOW SODIUM--I think this is crucial to the success of the recipe, because it is too salty with regular broth. Delete the 1/4 t salt altogether, unless you feel it needs it at the end. You can always add salt, but you can't take it away. I also add 1/2 C of small pasta, whatever I have on hand (macaroni works fine, or use something else to be more elaborate) at the end of the cooking time. If you'd like to do this, make sure you cook the pasta before adding the spinach. Karen--thank you for a recipe that has become a household staple for us!
Modest, unassuming ingredients that pack a punch of flavor for the unsuspecting taste tester. I dislike reviewers who considerably change a recipe and then rate it on their modifications, but this time, I couldn't seem to help myself... Doubled the recipe, and used one pound of hot and one of sweet sausage, extra clove of garlic, added celery, small red potatoes, cannelli beans as that's the only type I had on hand, diced canned tomatoes with basil, oregano and garlic added and omitted the salt. Turned off the heat and added thinly sliced zuchinni and the fresh spinach 10 minutes prior to serving. Absolutely superb flavor!!! Thanks Sallyjun for the submission!
Nice, basic recipe for the humble but delicious Minestrone, with plenty of wiggle room for your own creativity or to use whatever vegetables are to your liking or what you have on hand. I made my own beef broth and along with the sausage I included the beef from the meaty bones I used. Added celery, onions and mushrooms with the carrots, along with some Tuscan seasoning. I used cannellini beans since I prefer them, and at the end threw in ditalini pasta (about 1 c. uncooked) which I had cooked ahead of time so the pasta wouldn't absorb too much of the broth. Instead of the canned tomatoes I used tomatoes I had put up from my garden. There really is no right or wrong when making Italian soups like this, and the fun thing about it is that it never turns out exactly the same way twice! Sometimes I like to add a glug of red wine, or maybe rice, or various shapes of soup pasta. I did use fresh spinach this time, but Swiss Chard or escarole are nice too! To truly be authentic, sprinkle each serving with good, freshly grated Parmesan or Romano cheese!
Wow! Unbelievably good, even better than I thought it would be - a definite keeper and company-quality recipe. In fact, I think this is the best recipe I've gotten from this site. I added the browned sausage and the rest of the ingredients (plus an onion, a teaspoon of minced garlic - and red pepper instead of green) to the crockpot, and cooked it on low for 5 hours. I seasoned it with oregano, parsley, and rosemary. Then I stirred in a half cup or so cooked, drained ditalini before serving. Served with garlic bread, of course, just wonderful.
Excellent!! I don't have any idea what possessed me to make this soup. It is nothing that I would normally be drawn to. Well.. I love it!! Most soups that I make take hours to cook. Not this.. within the hour it was ready to eat and the house smelled wonderful. Changes that I made: I mixed both hot and mild sausage. Added onion and extra garlic when browning meat. Like others... I added additional can beef broth and tomatoe. I eliminated the zuccini and any additional salt. When I added the beans (which i never thought i'd like but they add a nice touch) I also added some very small pasta. The result... delish!!!! Can't wait to serve it to my guests tomorrow!!!

Obama, Romney Spin New Jobs Report Differently
Originally published on Fri September 7, 2012 5:18 pm
This is ALL THINGS CONSIDERED from NPR News. I'm Melissa Block.
And I'm Robert Siegel. With the conventions behind us, today begins the final stretch of the presidential race, a 60-day sprint to November with the candidates crisscrossing the country, blanketing the airwaves and eventually debating on stage face to face. The sprint began today with a rough start for President Obama. The Labor Department released disappointing new unemployment numbers for August. Both the president and Mitt Romney talked about the numbers while campaigning today as they visited the same two swing states.
BLOCK: NPR's Ari Shapiro reports.
ARI SHAPIRO, BYLINE: Economists were expecting more than 125,000 new jobs in August. Instead, the number was just 96,000. The unemployment rate dropped from 8.3 percent to 8.1 percent, but it fell for the wrong reason. Hundreds of thousands of people gave up looking for work. This was not the way President Obama wanted to come off his party's nominating convention. He flew to New Hampshire this morning.
PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: Oh, it is good to be back in Portsmouth.
SHAPIRO: The vice president, the first lady and Jill Biden joined him. Mr. Obama tried to put the best spin on the unemployment numbers, reminding people that he never promised a quick fix.
OBAMA: Today, we learned that after losing around 800,000 jobs a month when I took office, business once again added jobs for the 30th month in a row, a total of more than 4.6 million jobs.
SHAPIRO: While that's true, the economy is barely adding jobs fast enough to keep up with people entering the labor market. The president said he has proposals to create jobs more quickly, but Republicans in Congress won't act on them.
OBAMA: We could create a million new jobs right now if Congress would pass the jobs plan that I sent to them a year ago. Jobs for teachers, jobs for construction workers, jobs for folks who've been looking for work for a long time. We can do that.
SHAPIRO: The president also revisited many of the points from his convention speech last night. Jan Gingress(ph) watched all three days of the convention on TV. It left her feeling fired up.
JAN GINGRESS: I liked his idea, his American dream. He's for the people. He understands where we're from, where we're headed and gives us hope. I don't feel that with his opponent.
SHAPIRO: From New Hampshire, the president flew to Iowa, which is where Mitt Romney started his day.
SHAPIRO: A college marching band entertained people waiting to see the presidential nominee at this gym in Orange City. This far northwestern corner of Iowa is the most Republican part of the state. How conservative is it? Well, college student Alyssa Courier(ph) is president of her campus Democrats.
ALYSSA COURIER: There's one other person in my club and that's the vice president.
SHAPIRO: So this Romney stop was not about winning over disillusioned Obama voters. It's about turning out the base. Romney told the cheering crowd that he didn't watch President Obama's speech last night, but he read the transcript this morning.
MITT ROMNEY: There was a whole series of new promises, which he also won't be able to keep because the policies he believes in and the direction he's pulling will not make America stronger. If President Obama were reelected, we would have four more years of the last four years and the American people are going to say no to that.
SHAPIRO: Romney only got around to the new unemployment numbers near the end of his speech. He said if the president's policies had succeeded, millions more people would have jobs today.
ROMNEY: Wouldn't have as many seniors wondering whether they're going to be able to put food on the table at the end of the week. We wouldn't have as many young people wondering whether they can afford college next semester. Wouldn't have as many college graduates asking themself, can I possibly find a job.
SHAPIRO: Michael Stouffer(ph) is a college senior.
MICHAEL STOUFFER: Well, when I see the number of unemployment in my age group, 18 to 29-year-olds, is that it's almost up to 13 percent now, it's a little frightening.
SHAPIRO: He's studying to be high school history teacher. President Obama wants to send federal money to the states to help prevent teacher lay-offs. Republicans say no. But Stouffer isn't worried.
STOUFFER: I don't see it as that big of a problem. I mean, if teachers are doing good, their schools are doing good, they're going to keep their job. It's just - it's when schools have to consolidate or when the teachers aren't performing well, it's just like any other job that one holds.
SHAPIRO: Both of these swing states have a much lower unemployment rate than the 8.1 percent national average. Here in Iowa, it's 5.3 percent and in New Hampshire, the unemployment rate is down to 5.4 percent. Ari Shapiro, NPR News, Orange City, Iowa. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Coal Country
Rising Up Against Mountaintop Removal Mining
Paperback (ISBN: 978-0-57805-166-3)
304 pages
20 color photographs.
More than 200 b/w photographs.
This illustrated book, like the powerful documentary on which it is based, gives voice to the growing chorus of protest against mountaintop removal mining in Appalachia through a rich collection of essays, oral history, commentary, and images. Coal Country features many of the personalities from the film in their own words, as well as thoughtful and eloquent essays in defense of the Appalachian land, people, and culture. Illustrations include contemporary photographs of this still-beautiful region—and of mining devastation and the affected landscapes, communities, and people—by noted photojournalists such as Mark Schmerling, Builder Levy, and Vivian Stockman, as well as archival photos of Appalachian mining and culture. Sidebars feature literary excerpts, song lyrics, drawings, and cartoons.
Contributors include Wendell Berry, Nick Clooney, Ashley Judd, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Loretta Lynn, and Kathy Mattea.
Shirley Stewart Burns is the author of Bringing Down the Mountains, the first academic book detailing the social, environmental, political, and economic consequences of MTR mining on southern West Virginia communities. She holds a Ph.D. in history with an Appalachian emphasis and served as an editor for the Family and Community section of the Encyclopedia of Appalachia, among other publications. Born in the southern coalfields of Wyoming County, West Virginia, Burns is the daughter, granddaughter, great-granddaughter, and sister of underground coal miners.
Mari-Lynn Evans has executive-produced many television programs and films, including The Appalachians, a top-rated three-hour PBS documentary (with companion book and soundtrack), which was seen by more than 100 million people. Originally from Bulltown, West Virginia, Evans now lives in Akron, Ohio.
Silas House is the author of the novels Clay's Quilt (2001), A Parchment of Leaves (2002), and The Coal Tattoo (2004), and the play The Hurting Part (2005). His work has received many awards, including two Kentucky Novel of the Year Awards, the Award for Special Achievement from the Fellowship of Southern Writers, the Appalachian Book of the Year, and the Chaffin Award. House lives in eastern Kentucky, where he was born and raised.

Zakkushi is open!
Fantastic Japanese grilled meat and fish/seafoood on sticks!
It is tapas style eating.
Be sure to try the chicken with cheese, premium beef, fried chicken knees, pork stick, premium beef tongue, oropon beef, squid, and chicken gizzards. Everything is good really and complete with different sauces for each.
I found the execution and flavouring equally matched to their original Denman location in Vancouver.
NOTE: Call ahead if you must wait until they get their liquor license otherwise take advantage of the easy to get tables right now!
Had someone in from Montreal so I went back to Zakkushi. A couple of the items were a bit salty this time but not over the top annoying. The pork stick was a real standout this time as well as the squid and beef.
They are all so nice and extremely attentive!
Thanks for the right up.
Link for those that need it:
It is at Carlton and Ontario Street (west of Parliment)
Finally made it down there!
Ordered a whole bunch of charcoal grilled items including their Premium Set, Zakkushi set, chicken wings, chicken skin, chicken liver, ox-tongue, bacon wrapped quails eggs, potatoes with spicy cod roe mayo...etc
Non chargrilled items included the Fried Amaebi with seasalt, Scallops salad, Grilled rice balls, creamed corn croquettes, Seafood yakitori don.. etc.
Mostly hits with just a few misses. All chargrilled items had lovely smokey flavor and none over-burnt! A definite success! However, Teriyaki sauce was less flavorful than Ju-Izakaya up north.
Of all the dishes, grilled and non-grilled, the winner happened to be the Creamed corn croquette! Very delicious filling!
The Annin Tofu dessert was delicious but did not set!! Ended up 'drinking' the jelly dessert instead!! A 'weird' failure!!
Conclusion! If one would like to savor more exotic ingredients like Wagyu Beef or organic chicken galore and wider selection, then Zukkashi is the place to go. However, for regular char-grilled items, Ju-Izakaya inside of J-Town is equally good and slightly cheaper.
I went a couple days ago and they still don't have their license. I think it's still worth going though, and believe me that's not a statement I make lightly.
It's great to have some yakitori within walking distance of the subway system. I recently had a terribly disappointing meal at "Yakitori Bar" so Zakkushi was all the more exciting.
Only a few complaints: the price, like Charles mentioned, is high.
I wish they had those yakitori where they stuff the shishito peppers with the same meat as the tsukune. I love that one and I haven't seen it in Toronto.
Also, they shout when people come in the door. Just because Guu does it, does everybody else in town have to?
re: graydyn
Shouting is pretty common at Japanese restaurants in Vancouver, and at all three Zakkushis here (though less so at the Main Street one). I thought it was kind of traditional to get a chorused "irashai" when I walk into a sushi bar or izakaya.
re: grayelf
This was my understanding too. It's just a traditional greeting. Though some restaurants amp it up to the nth degree!
re: jlunar
Outside Canada I've heard irashai mase spoken a lot, but not hollered. Shouting indoors is just obnoxious either way.

Federal EMSC Program
|Contact HRSA Staff
The federal EMSC Program is funded at approximately $21 million per year and is administered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration's Maternal and Child Health Bureau. Since its establishment in 1985, all 50 states, the District of Columbia, five U.S. territories, and the freely associated states of Micronesia, Palau, and the Mashall Islands have received funding from the federal Program. In addition to funding the EMSC NRC and the EMSC Data Coordinating Center, the Program administers three types of grants:
State Partnership. These grants fund activities that improve, refine, and integrate pediatric care within the state EMS system. In addition, all EMSC State Partnership grantees are required to collect and report data on ten performance measures. These measures align with Healthy People 2020 (see Healthy People 2020 Crosswalk to EMSC Performance Measures). State Partnership grants are funded between $115,000 to $130,000 per year for a three-year project period.
State Partnership Regionalization of Care (SPROC). The purpose of SPROC grants is two-fold: (1) to continue its work with state governments and/or accredited schools of medicine to develop regionalized systems that encompass the sharing of resources and improve access to pediatric health care services for children and families in tribal, territorial, insular, and rural ares of the United States and (2) to develop "Models of Inclusive Care" that may be replicated in other regions where access to specialized pediatric medical treatment is limited due to geographical distances or jurisdictional borders. A total of $1.2 million was awarded to six grantees in 2012; each receiving up to $200,000 per year for a four-year project period. For more information about SPROC grants see EMSC State Partnership Regionalization of Care fact sheet or read Regionalization of Care for Pediatric Patients: A Brief Overview.
Targeted Issue (TI).These grants fund schools of medicines. Typically, the projects result in a new product or resource or demonstrate the effectiveness of a model system component or service of value. In fiscal year 2013, six new TI grants were awarded. All six grants focus solely on pediatric prehospital research, representing one of the largest investments, $5.4 million over three years, in pediatric prehospital research. The Health Resources and Services Administration's EMSC Targeted Issue Grants, 2013 briefly describes each of the 2013 TI projects. A database of all TI grants is also available to search all previous and current TI grant projects.
In addition, the federal EMSC Program funds the Pediatric Emergency Care Applied Research Network (PECARN), the first federally-funded, multi-institutional network for research in pediatric emergency medicine. PECARN is comprised of six Research Node Centers (RNCs) and 18 Hospital Emergency Department Affiliates (HEDAs). The RNCs and HEDAs represent academic, community, urban, rural, general, and children's hospitals. The entire PECARN network serves approximately 1.2 million acutely ill and injured children every year. Learn more about PECARN, its structure, and its current and recently completed studies on the PECARN web site.
To determine which type(s) of funding your state or territory currently receives, review EMSC Activities by State.
