Early Childhood Education and Schools
ELCA congregations and synods operate more than 1,500 early childhood education programs, elementary schools and secondary schools. A large majority of these schools are early childhood centers, such as preschools and kindergartens. Most programs enroll children from the community as well as children of congregational members. All seek to provide excellent education as well as character and faith development for children.
The ELCA churchwide organization works through the association of ELCA Schools and Learning Centers — the Evangelical Lutheran Education Association — to support these schools and centers. The Association provides services to the schools and centers, including accreditation. The Association also supports the ELCA in the use of schooling for mission outreach. Programs of the Association include resources for congregations, pastors, school administrators, principals, directors, schools boards, committees and parents.
If you have questions about schooling in the ELCA, contact the ELCA Schools and Learning Centers at www.eleanational.org. Parents looking for a school may also contact the association. They can locate congregations with schools or centers by using the Interactive Map and searching for congregations in their area with the phrase "and affiliated schools" in the congregational name.

Dictionary of Languages: The Definitive Reference to More Than 400 Languages
Columbia University Press, 2004 - Language Arts & Disciplines - 734 pages
Approximately how many languages compose the Bantu language group of central and southern Africa? What is the name of the language spoken in Hawaii by an estimated two thousand people? What Western European language is not known to be related to any other language family in the world -- and is considered by linguists to be one of the most difficult to learn?
These are only a few of the questions language lovers, linguists, and lay readers will be able to answer with the Dictionary of Languages -- an easy-to-navigate, authoritative guide to the world's languages and language groups at the end of the twentieth century. Andrew Dalby had the needs and interests of general readers in mind when he compiled this comprehensive reference work -- most other language guides are written for scholars, and many include little or none of the absorbing social, cultural, geographic, and historical details that are brought together here.
In the Dictionary of Languages, readers will find:
?a selection of four hundred languages and language groups, arranged alphabetically, with rich, detailed descriptions of the genesis, development, and current status of each;
?more than two hundred maps displaying where the languages are spoken today;
?sidebars showing alphabets, numerals, and other enriching facts
?a comprehensive index listing additional languages, guiding readers to the nearest language groups with full writeups and maps;
?charts breaking down large language groups -- such as Bantu or Austroasiatic languages -- by geographic region and approximate number of speakers.
In a world where geopolitical boundaries often explain little about the people that live within them, where we may read about Kurd and Khmer in the same newspaper and be expected to be conversant about each -- if not conversant in each -- Dalby's single, information-packed volume helps us make sense of the rich mosaic of world languages.

Kosher Dairy Dishes
|Tomato and Goat Cheese Tart
Adapted from Ina Garten, Barefoot Contessa Back to Basics
Make this amazing Tomato and Goat Cheese Tart using ready made puff pastry sheets. Fresh tomatoes, basil and thyme add great flavor.
1 package (17.3 ounces/2 sheets) puff pastry, defrosted
Unfold a sheet of puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and roll it lightly to an 11 by 11-inch square. Using a 6-inch wide saucer or other round object as a guide, cut 2 circles from the sheet of puff pastry, discarding the scraps. Repeat with the second pastry sheet to make 4 circles in all. Place the pastry circles on 2 sheet pans lined with parchment paper and refrigerate until ready to use.
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
Heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium to low heat and add the onions and garlic. Sauté for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onions are limp and there is almost no moisture remaining in the skillet. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, the wine, and thyme and continue to cook for another 10 minutes, until the onions are lightly browned. Remove from the heat.
Using a sharp paring knife, score a 1/4-inch-wide border around each pastry circle. Prick the pastry inside the score lines with the tines of a fork and sprinkle a tablespoon of grated Parmesan on each round, staying inside the scored border.
Place 1/4 of the onion mixture on each circle, again staying within the scored edge. Crumble 1 ounce of goat cheese on top of the onions. Place a slice of tomato in the center of each tart. Brush the tomato lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with basil, salt, and pepper. Finally, scatter 4 or 5 shards of Parmesan on each tart.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the pastry is golden brown. The bottom sheet pan may need an extra few minutes in the oven. Serve hot or warm.
Yield: four individual tarts

Last week, in an interview with The New York Times, Miley Cyrus dismissed Nicki Minaj's criticism of racism in the music industry – exemplified by MTV, which denied "Anaconda" a VMA Video of the Year nomination – claiming that Nicki is "not too kind" or "polite" and too "angry."

Black Bear Attacks 12 Year-Old While Jogging! [VIDEO]
This past weekend while hiking along the banks of Jordan Pond at Acadia National Park with my wife and granddaughters, I joked that they should hang pretty close in case there's a bear in the area. Now after watching the story of a Black Bear attacking 12 year-old, Abby Whetherell, while she was jogging a trail in Michigan, I'm going to be sure to be a bit more vigilant anytime I'm out in the wilderness

Using the iRobot Roomba Create, I have prototyped a device called eyeRobot. It will guide blind and visually impaired users through cluttered and populated environments by using the Roomba as a base to marry the simplicity of the traditional white cane with the instincts of a seeing-eye dog. The user indicates his/her desired motion by intuitively pushing on and twisting the handle. The robot takes this information and finds a clear path down a hallway or across a room, using sonar to steer the user in a suitable direction around static and dynamic obstacles. The user then follows behind the robot as it guides the user in the desired direction by the noticeable force felt through the handle. This robotic option requires little training: push to go, pull to stop, twist to turn. The foresight the rangefinders provide is similar to a seeing eye dog, and is a considerable advantage over the constant trial and error that marks the use of the white cane. Yet eyeRobot still provides a much cheaper alternative than guide dogs, which cost over $12,000 and are useful for only 5 years, while the prototype was built for well under $400. It is also a relatively simple machine, requiring a few inexpensive sensors, various potentiometers, some hardware, and of course, a Roomba Create.
Step 1: Video Demonstration
I see my white k-9 inspred the guys in the back room. ozi
I have been working on a handheld device, That gives audio feedback according to distance, And when its done I may actually be able to fit it in old television remotes.
Of course its not as elaborate as this project, And requires people to train themselves to recognize what the sounds mean, But at least there are some guinea pigs(neighbors) close by, That are visually impaired.
But I really like this idea, Good job.
Can it tell a curb from a wall and would the cane let you walk into a hole, I can see the cane running along the top of a curb and letting the user accidently step off the curb and fall into traffic.
I can find my way between the telephone poles it is the ground and all the landmines left by sighted people that get me.
Sorry for the very late reply, I try not to "reopen" conversations that are a year or more old generally.
Mostly I wanted to add my own "me too" comment though in response to your CAPTCHAs remark. CAPTCHAs are very annoying to the sighted as well. That being obvious or not to the other group of users, I wish there were better "are you human" checks that were not so annoying. In fact that is the reason that this reply is at the top level and not a direct reply to yours, the reCAPTCHA JavaScript used to insert itself into this pages DOM when replying ( but not "New" comments ) is faulty. After checking it was not a Google Chrome bug by trying it in Firefox and Safari as well I concluded I had done my due diligence and gave up on further tracking down the bug, leaving it to the developers responsible for instructibles.com to follow up on. Maybe someday they will be a thing of the past, we can only Hope :)
And secondly to thank you for your ( even if it is minimal ) insight, it really is hard to determine things like this for a group or target audience of any kind even if you are specifically trying to and have the best intentions. Thanks :)
Actually, it has changed in that time-frame. The first blind guy to use a "white cane" was Jacobus tenBroek, a blind civil rights attorney at a time when blind people were street musicians and broom makers working for sub-minimum wages in government sweatshops—er, I mean "sheltered workshops" (this practice continues as of December 2012 in the United States, with your friendly profiteers at "Goodwill" leading the way paying as little as 72 cents an hour, but that's a whole separate discussion…)
*ahem* Anyway, the guy who invented the cane originally painted it white, and put a red tip on it so that sighted people wouldn't trip over it. Being blind as he was, he did not realize immediately that the red tip was both unnecessary and indeed not helpful for the purpose. As it happens, being able to see it doesn't matter if a person isn't really paying attention. ;) You could light it up with neon and some people would still trip over it.
As always, the "professionals" got into the act and began trying to prescribe how long a cane should be, and complex maneuvers for how one should manipulate it, etc. These are the same brilliant folks who wrote manuals teaching a 12 step process to switch from holding on to a person's right arm to holding on to their left. Yes, really, and the procedure isn't one I'm going to perform on anyone who isn't female, in her 20s, and cute. They also wrote a whole manual to teach a blind person to take a shower.
The blind themselves… continued to evolve the concept. The cane got lighter—much lighter! And longer. How long? Well, a good rule of thumb is to put your back to a wall, walk several paces away, turn and walk right into the wall at a good pace while using your cane. When your cane hits the wall, try to stop before you do. If you wind up hugging the wall, you need a longer cane. ;)
As noted, the early cane was designed for maximum visibility to the sighted world. Blind people today don't generally regard this as important. The cane is a means for us to get around, nothing more. The idea that sighted people would or should watch out for us because we're blind just doesn't mesh with the real world. We are able to learn to watch out for ourselves, and if we don't who will?
Of course, just to really throw a wrench into the works for figuring out your target audience, what I describe above is just one approach. It's the one approach that works and makes sense, but it's not the only one in use!
A lot of blind people don't obviously start out that way, for example. They tend to lose vision later in life, at which point vocational rehabilitation has little to offer them, arguing that they have little to offer the workforce if trained. Many in the vocational rehabilitation industry are sighted people who used to write those manuals on showering I mentioned, and they basically haven't got much faith in the ability of even those who have a lifetime of experience in adapting to blindness to be otherwise normal, functional human beings. Still others reject the independent-minded thinking I describe above, either for political reasons or because they just don't want to. The latter of these often believe the world should adapt to them, rather than they to the world. IMO it's not very realistic.
There are some out there for whom this device is probably very interesting. It just isn't going to fit into the budget for most of us, no matter how cool it might be. My canes cost me $25-40, depending. I'm using the same one today I picked up back in 2009, and it's stood up to every time I've dropped it, had it stepped on when I laid it down for a moment, or other form of abuse. A good car door slam will crush or shatter it, but short of that if I take care of it, it should take care of me. :)
It seems to me that you are approaching this with the notion that a person using a cane must bumble along in the hopes of finding a clear path, whereas a service animal sees and thinks about an obstruction-free route from origin to destination. With respect, that's sighted-people-thinking. We blind folks don't do that, and in fact we don't want to do that.
I'll do my best to explain why.
A cane user moves from origin to destination mainly by moving in straight lines, going from landmark to landmark (or static obstacle to static obstacle, in your way of thinking). Static obstacles that are familiar to us help us know where we are in relation to the world around us. Static obstacles that we do not know serve as waypoints to get back to wherever we were before we decided to go wherever we are going. We will tend to take the same route between two places until we become more familiar with an area to reduce the number of surprises.
When you encounter a dynamic obstacle with a cane (ie, a person or other thing that won't be there later), you simply go around it and continue on your way.
Working with service animals is a little different. The dog will tend to take you around all obstacles automatically, unless you slow down and approach an obstacle to identify it. It's a little different in appearance to an uninitiated sighted observer, but the navigation by waypoints is fundamentally the same. It's just that the cane user will "run right into something" (that is, find it with their cane, often intentionally) before going around or whatever is necessary, whereas the dog will indicate to the user the presence of something in the path by leading the user around it.
The person using the cane or dog must still know how to find their way from place to place, cross streets, recognize and navigate hazards, etc. The dog doesn't "see for you" in any real sense. But most dog users do walk faster than most cane users. Personally, I prefer the cane, but I'm not an animal person. The reason nobody has managed to replace the $35 cane with high-tech solutions yet is that the high-tech solutions don't work everywhere a basic cane or a well-trained dog will. Doesn't mean it can't be done, just that the people trying thus far have not been thinking about how many environments blind people traverse and what exactly they expect the replacement to do for them.
And um, for those wondering, I've been using talking computers since 1982. My first was an Apple ][e with an Echo synthesizer. In the past 30 years, we've managed a FEW advances in the state of the art. ;) Undescribed images are a problem for those with little/no residual vision, and CAPTCHAs are just annoying, but otherwise we can usually manage.
Many people with a significant visual impairment have some degree of residual vision. Hence to be blind doesn't mean pitch darkness. It often means a slight amount of vision remaining that is not enough to function.
Hence the visually impaired can use things like magnifiers, screen readers (It reads out the text on screen), self voicing for typing (Windows 7 is using this).
I love ressurecting threads for justice!

En español l You're facing minor surgery, and your doctor orders routine preoperation tests. Do you get them?
You're a senior with insomnia. Prescription sleeping pills are OK, right?
You see an ad for a screening to detect a potential stroke. Good idea?
Probably not, the experts say. All three are among the unnecessary or potentially harmful tests and treatments identified by 17 key medical specialty societies, which recently, in Washington, released their lists of questionable procedures as part of the Choosing Wisely campaign.
That campaign, set up by the nonprofit American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) Foundation, began in 2012 when nine medical societies first offered their lists of unnecessary treatments.
Consumer Reports is a partner in the Choosing Wisely campaign, and John Santa, M.D., who directs that group's health ratings, says, "We know Americans believe more health care is better, and all prevention is good." But, he stresses, "waste and overuse is a major issue — and it's frequent across all medical disciplines."
Christine K. Cassel, president and chief executive of the ABIM, says the Choosing Wisely campaign is "about the right care at the right time for the right patient."
Here are seven overused tests or treatments commonly prescribed for people age 50-plus that experts now say you probably don't need if you're healthy.
1. Recommendation: Avoid routine presurgery tests for eye and other low-risk surgeries (American Society for Clinical Pathology and American Academy of Ophthalmology).
Men and women facing elective surgery — eye, foot and cosmetic operations, as well as biopsies — routinely undergo unnecessary blood and other tests. "You need to ask: Why do I need these tests?" says Lee Hilborne, M.D., an official with the clinical pathology society. Cataract patients, for example, often get an EKG, blood work and a chest X-ray, says William Rich, M.D., of the ophthalmologists group. "They're paying for tests we don't think are necessary," he says. Average costs run $300 to $400.
Danger: Aside from the cost, a few test results come back abnormal even though the patient is fine — causing anxiety and further tests that could delay the surgery.
Exception: A patient with a severe heart condition or symptoms that could be heart-related should have a presurgery EKG.
Diabetic patients need a blood glucose test and those on diuretics should have a potassium test.
2. Recommendation: Don't take prescription sleeping pills as the first choice for insomnia (American Geriatrics Society).
Insomnia is very common in older people, but experts say seniors should avoid some widely prescribed sleeping pills, such as Restril and Ambien. Instead, talk to your doctor about other therapies, such as counseling to improve sleep patterns through lifestyle changes.
Danger: Meds called sedative-hypnotics, including benzodiazepines, double the risk of falls and hip fractures, leading to hospitalization and death in older adults, according to several large studies.
"It's not entirely clear why; it may be there's some carryover the next day," says Cathy Alessi, M.D., president-elect of the American Geriatrics Society.
Exceptions: For seniors, prescription sleeping pills (sedative-hypnotics) should be reserved for anxiety disorders or severe alcohol withdrawal after other therapies have failed.
3. Recommendation: Don't get a screening test for carotid artery disease unless you have symptoms (American Academy of Family Physicians).
Companies provide screenings for carotid artery stenosis — the narrowing of arteries that can lead to strokes — but unless you have symptoms, don't get scanned. "The scientific evidence is very clear that more people are harmed than helped by having this test, and we advise against it," says Glen Stream, M.D., board chair of the family physicians group.
Danger: Screening someone with no symptoms of carotid artery disease could lead to further tests and even surgery, which carries increased risk of stroke.
Exception: If you've had a transient ischemic attack (TIA) or ministroke, you may need a diagnostic test.

Interpretive Handbook
80988 :
Cryoglobulin, Serum
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Cryoglobulins are immunoglobulins that precipitate when cooled and dissolve when heated. Because these proteins precipitate when cooled, patients may experience symptoms when exposed to the cold. Cryoglobulins may be associated with a variety of diseases including plasma cell disorders, autoimmune diseases, and infections. Cryoglobulins may also cause erroneous results with some automated hematology instruments.
Cryoglobulins are classified as:
-Type I (monoclonal)
-Type II (mixed--2 or more immunoglobulins of which 1 is monoclonal)
-Type III (polyclonal--in which no monoclonal protein is found)
Type I cryoglobulinemia is associated with monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance, macroglobulinemia, or multiple myeloma.
Type II cryoglobulinemia is associated with autoimmune disorders such as vasculitis, glomerulonephritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, and Sjogren's syndrome. It may be seen in infections such as hepatitis, infectious mononucleosis, cytomegalovirus, and toxoplasmosis. Type II cryoglobulinemia may also be essential, ie, occurring in the absence of underlying disease.
Type III cryoglobulinemia usually demonstrates trace levels of cryoprecipitate, may take up to 7 days to appear, and is associated with the same disease spectrum as Type II cryoglobulinemia.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Evaluating patients with vasculitis, glomerulonephritis, and lymphoproliferative diseases
Evaluating patients with macroglobulinemia or myeloma in whom symptoms occur with cold exposure
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
An interpretive report will be provided.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
Failure to follow specimen handling instructions may cause false-negative results.
Not useful for general screening of a population without a clinical suspicion of cryoglobulinemia.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
Negative (positives reported as percent)
Clinical References Provides recommendations for further in-depth reading of a clinical nature

Once a popular technique, "weed flaming" is being revived, with excellent results, for nontoxic weed control in home gardens as well as commercial row crops, orchards, and vineyards. Organic growers are excited about flaming because in many cases it works as well as herbicides, is amazingly cost and labor effective, can be done when fields are too wet to cultivate and does not bring dormant weed seeds to the surface. Flaming correctly, it uses the searing heat of a specially designed propane burner to quickly "boil" the water in the cells of the plant. This causes the cell walls to burst. This is usually accomplished in under 2 seconds, without injury to your crop. Weeds are flamed 1–2 days before crop emergence. Flaming is highly effective on young, annual weeds. Perennial weeds with taproots or woody stems may require reflaming. Use extreme caution to prevent injury or fire hazard.

Very insightful, well written. Grade A ck.
"Now when I go to the bathroom I find out who my friends are." - Jake Scott after both broken hands were in casts following the 1972 season
Nice article....
A couple of comments I found very interesting....for one...I trust Jeff Ireland's talent evaluation more than I do Bill Parcells. I've attended the Senior Bowl personally for the past 2 years, and the word behind the scenes down there was that the Miami braintrust fell in love with Henne and had him targeted at pick #32....so much so, that they misevaluated one of the candidates for the #1 pick....as many observers did.....Matt Ryan.
After Miami sent David Lee to attend Ryan's pro day workout, why did they balk at the selection of Henne at #32 on draft day, and instead select Merling if they were so intrigued by Henne? Surely they didn't think he would be there at #57? Were they going to select Lanford at #57 if Merling hadn't fell to #32?
It seems like many talented players were left off our draft board...it's the way Parcells approaches the draft...it seems like he doesn't select BPA, but rather has predetermined "positions" at certain slots in the draft.
The Parcells / Groh connection should always be a factor for those of us trying to determine which player the braintrust might be looking at in the 1st round....and Sintim fits the "Bill".....and fills a need.
Lastly, what are your thoughts on Donald Thomas' prospects on possibly playing right tackle if Carey isn't resigned? I had Thomas as my #7 rated guard in the draft (ahead of more hyped prospects like Chilo Rachal and Mike McGlynn). I think he has the athletic ability to play right tackle and perform well....although he's raw from an experience standpoint at any position (only started 1 year at UCONN), but the upside, versatility, and raw ability seems to be there.
I think they snagged him with the second and thought about picking a QB with the 2b or 3rd pick, if there's no value at QB at 2a they scratch off langford and draft one in the third, because you've got merling and you still can get another DE later to pair merling with a rookie competitor like CK talked about in another thread ... but everything went the way they wanted. That's how i see it

Nationality: MKDBorn : 04.05.1985Place of birth: LA
Height: 1.78mPosition: G
It is impossible to underestimate the significance of what Bo McCalebb did two years ago in Lithuania and what he means for the national team of F.Y.R of Macedonia and people in this country. American by birth but F.Y.R of Macedonia by heart, McCalebb produced one of the most amazing performances in the history of European basketball at the previous EuroBasket. McCalebb averaged more than 21 points shooting the ball at 47%. He was duly elected to the All Tournament Team and has climbed his way into the group of elite guards on the continent. The word quickness is not enough to describe McCalebb's speed on the court - he is rapid when he leaves his opponent behind him and storms to the basket. His furious and explosive crossover is a pure nightmare for defenders all over Europe including the best in the business. His decision-making is something that is still developing but he has improved his long-range shooting during the past couple of seasons. His last domestic season however is one he would rather forget about. He joined the ambitious project of Fenerbahce Ulker in Turkey but the year appeared to be nothing but a huge disappointment for the club. Even though Bo posted some solid numbers on occasions, his overall less-than-average season was one of the reasons for the Turkish club's failings. But it should be a completely different story in Slovenia. "Bosko Maccalebbovski", as Macedonian fans nicknamed the guard, is always focused when it comes to the national team and his energy doubles up in front of the country's supporters. His leader's role on this team is undisputed and coach Pipan would let McCalebb showcase his skills for all 40 minutes if Bo is able to play for this long night-in, night-out.

Natural Fitness was born with the goal of providing better alternatives to low-quality, environmentally harmful fitness products in yoga and Pilates studios, fitness centers and homes. The founders decided that there had to be a better way, something more in line with the concepts of personal wellness and self improvement.
One of Natural Fitness' most important goals is to offset the impact on the environment that results from the manufacturing and distribution of their products. To achieve this, Natural Fitness created a Zero Impact Program (ZIP), including:
Planting trees. For every product they sell, their Plant-A-Tree initiative funds the planting of a tree in areas of the world that can benefit most. The trees moderate climate, improve air quality, conserve water and harbor wildlife. Carbon emissions experts report that a single tree can remove up to 2,000 pounds of pollution from our atmosphere.
Talking the talk. Natural Fitness partners with like-minded companies to raise public awareness about environmental problems created through the use of fossil fuels and other non-sustainable practices. They do this through memberships in organizations such as the Chicago Sustainable Business Alliance and involvement in programs that promote eco-products and lifestyles such as the Chicago Green Festival.
Walking the walk. Natural Fitness uses recycled content paper in all product packaging, color inserts and business/office stationery and supplies. Natural Fitness has also spearheaded an ambitious recycling program for their 500,000-square-foot office building in which more than 60 companies operate. They also offset all of their employees' eco-footprints an
Pharmaca carries yoga mats, exercise balls and additional exercise equipment from Natural Fitness, the eco-friendly fitness company.

There are photos of the boys with their shirts off, throwing their hands in the air.
The Sandusky Police Department and prosecutors determined it was a "gang turf war."
There's a video clip from a surveillance camera, scaring the good people of Erie County into an anti-young-black-male frenzy.
Welcome to "The Erie County Threat Matrix." It's a place where they think if they repeat words like gang, youth, assailants and dangerous — often enough — residents will be too scared to realize Erie County is preparing to send up their children.
It would be better if we could see this for what it really was: A fight between teenagers and about a dozen men that started over a basketball game. It resulted in the vandalism of a hallway. There were no serious injuries.
But 13 city teens are charged with participating in criminal gang activity, a second-degree felony, and aggravated rioting. It was just a fight, not much different from the schoolyard fights that have occurred every day for generations.
The charges that resulted can bring serious prison sentences, however, which will have serious impact on the children involved, diminishing their opportunities to build a normal life. For what? Actions that really don't deserve any charges more serious than a misdemeanor assault, disorderly conduct or vandalism.
It's ridiculous.
There's no precedent in Erie County for the kind of charges filed against these kids.
The Hell's Angels and the Outlaws operated here for years. No threat warnings went out. Erie County did not go to DefconFive, and no members of those groups were ever charged with participating in criminal gang activity or aggravated rioting for a brawl.
There was never an effort to address the so-called "gang problem," even after the murder of David Hartlaub by members of the Hell's Angels in 1988.
So why are officials handling these children differently?
Could it be "gangs" are not the issue?
Every Bike Week, each year, we get an influx of gangs sporting their colors on the back of their vest. These gangs have been responsible for brawls, other criminal activities and murder. Yet the county never addressed any gang problem in those situations.
Is it simply the complexion of the gangs has changed? If not, then why now? Why these kids? Why bring such serious charges against kids over an incident that resulted in no serious injuries, resulted in only minor property damage, didn't involve a firearm, and put no innocent people in danger?
I've witnessed plenty of what can be considered "gang turf wars" in parking lots of bars throughout the city, and the gangsinvolved were not always comprised of black males. Yeah, surprise — young and old caucasian males are known to "brawl" as well, yet I can only remember black people being charged with aggravated rioting.
Has a caucasian ever been charged with aggravated rioting in Erie County, or are charges like participating in criminal gang activity and aggravated rioting reserved for Erie County's African-American population?
What makes these Sandusky boys a criminal gang? They don't have a drug empire. They don't extort local business owners. They're not a terrorist cell. What criminal activity do they come together as a group and collectively plan and execute?
It would better serve the community to approach the potential incarceration of our children with extreme care, as if we fear wasting Erie County's most valuable resource: its youth.

Students in Professor Ionia Dunn-Lee's Field Trip class got a special surprise during their October 21 visit to Tommy Hilfiger, when the fashion icon himself made an appearance during their tour of the company's West 26th Street headquarters.

Jenson Button is hoping for a change of fortune in Korea as he bids to help McLaren consolidate their fifth place in the Constructors' Championship...
Jenson Button is hoping for a change of fortune in Korea as he bids to help McLaren consolidate their fifth place in the Constructors' Championship.
The Brit has only netted points in one of three starts at the Yeongam circuit, bringing his McLaren home in fourth place at the 2011 race.
The previous race he had finished a lacklustre P12 while last year he retired on the opening lap after being hit by Kamui Kobayashi.
"If there's one circuit on the F1 calendar that hasn't been particularly kind to me, then it's the track in Korea," said the Brit, who is 50/1 with the F1 bookmakers to win in Korea.
"I had a pretty tough race there in 2010, an average race there in '11, and I didn't even have a race there last year - someone smashed into me at Turn Three on the first lap, and my race was over.
"Of course, it would be easy for that to make your head drop, but, in fact, the opposite is true: I travel to Korea next week even more determined than normal to reverse the trend, get the absolute maximum from the car and get a good result.
"I think we had a solid weekend in Singapore, the engineers, the strategists and the mechanics got the best from the car, and we couldn't have realistically expected more. That's the aim again next weekend."
And with more points, the 2009 World Champion intends helping McLaren hold onto fifth place in the Constructors' Championship, where they are favourites with Paddy Power to beat Force India.
"This is the first of three pairs of back-to-back races that conclude the season. I think it's very important for us to further consolidate our position in the Championship, so getting points in both Korea and Japan will be important.
"We go into this weekend with maximum commitment."

Tajikistan Partner With Rush
2012 04.10 - Rush is thrilled to be forming a very unique partnership in Tajikistan. Typically, our partnerships are with existing soccer clubs. This partnership, however, is special as we will be partnering with the Tajikistan Football Federation (TFF). In conjunction with the TFF, we will be selecting 6 cities that will become Rush Clubs to develop their players and compete within their national league.
Troy Ready, Director of Soccer Development in Tajikistan, has signed an "Agent Agreement" where he will act as the representative allowing him to select clubs, monitor the progress of the clubs, and grow the brand.
"I first met Troy playing for the Spokane Shadow in the USL. He was a great player and leader for our team," said Erik Bushey, T.D. of Colorado Rush. "I have known him since 2000. He is a first class gentleman. He is a family man who has long since represented values which Rush holds close to its heart. He will be a great addition to the Rush team."
The 6 clubs will make up 18 teams total: 12 boys teams and 6 girls team. Further, Rush Tajikistan is opening the first ever National GK academy this April. Troy will be translating the Agent-Club document as he formalizes the 6 clubs selected. Troy has a comprehensive business plan laid out. His background in soccer, international experience and business background will complement growing of the Rush Way.
Rush: Why are you in Tajikistan?
Troy: "In 2005, I played on a professional tour in Tajikistan against the Tajik National team, their Olympic team, and Afghanistan's National team. My wife and I have always believed that living to serve others is the most satisfying way to live. When we saw the needs of the Tajik people, and realized how using my soccer background could be a platform to cultivate change, we jumped at the chance. We are fast approaching our third year of calling Tajikistan home.
Rush: How did you come across the Rush?
Coaching with Sean Bushey at Whitworth University kept me connected with his brother, Erik (T.D. of Colorado Rush). Through this relationship, I was introduced to the Rush. Further, one of my best friends and former teammates at the University of Washington (Ben Somoza) has also shared with me about the quality and expertise of the Rush, encouraging me to partner with them.
Rush: Tell me how you feel about the partnership with Rush?
This partnership unlocks unprecedented opportunities for the development of soccer in Tajikistan. Joining the Rush allows us at Tajikistan's Football Federation to think about the future in new and exciting ways. As we often say here in Tajik, the "road is white."
The expansion into Tajikistan keeps us on track with our goals and objectives. With the addition, this adds to the Rush Partnerships: a second Asian partner, a 19th international partner and our 45th partner overall. Our mission is help clubs toward excellence in all they do and to create an enourmous pyramid and eventually become one of the most recognized brands in the world. On behalf of the Rush and all of its affiliates, welcome to the Rush!

The Air Force announced guidance for the new Supervisor Refresher Course (MAFHRMS420), which will be offered by the Air Force Personnel Professional Development School at Maxwell AFB, Ala., in fiscal year 2014.
This course was designed to meet the federal mandate for follow-on supervisory education at least once every three years after completing the initial supervisory courses.
The Supervisor Refresher Course provides a refresher in civilian personnel management fundamentals and key supervisory and management competencies.
Who should attend this course?
The course is open to civilian supervisors who have completed the USAF Supervisor Course, the Advanced USAF Supervisor Course and Civilian Personnel Management Course and the Military Personnel Management Course (MPMC – if applicable) at least three years ago.
Force Development Flights, in coordination with the Civilian Personnel Section, should use the Supervisory Training Status Report to identify and notify supervisors for the course. Each class will be open to 200 students. As the fiscal 2014 schedule indicated, we will roll out the course in October 2013 and will ramp up to full operational capability by this summer. The School will designate particular classes for overseas student participation.
What do you and your supervisors need to know about the course?
This "on-line" course consists of 20 hours of material and runs over five consecutive days. Students will attend the class in Home Station Learning duty status similar to other Blended eLearning formats like the USAF Supervisors Courses. Live webinars will be hosted via Defense Connect Online and other coursework (readings, videos, activities) will be completed in the Blackboard Learning Management System. Students will be assigned to teams for group activities.
They can expect to spend approximately four hours per day total on coursework. Students are required to coordinate class work, location, and scheduling prior to the class. Since the class is run on consecutive days, there is less flexibility for absences than in the initial supervisory courses.
How to Enroll in the Supervisor Refresher Course:
Enrollment for the Supervisor Refresher Course is the same as for the initial supervisor courses. The registration site is housed on the Air University Portal. If students do not have an Air University Portal account, they must create one before viewing/registering for a course. To access the registration site, students should go to https://auportal.maxwell.af.mil/auportal/.
If you have additional questions concerning enrollment or the class schedule, please contact the Edwards Education and Training Center POC J.R. Riddle at (661) 277-6076 or email: firstname.lastname@example.com.

Practice Philosophy
I believe in a personalized approach to plastic surgery. Treating each patient as an individual. I try to do my best for each one in a careful conservative fashion.
Facial Cosmetic and Reconstructive Surgery
Body Contouring
Breast Cosmetic and Reconstructive Surgery
We usually show a brief video of the procedure that the patient is interested in. This is followed by a personal discussion with Dr. Bern which usually lasts for 30 minutes. I then show pre and post operative photos of similar patients. We discuss the pros and cons of the procedure the patient is interested in I then examine the patient with my assistant in a private sitting. Financial issues are then discussed by my patient care coordinatort. She provides a quote, brochures and pamphlets. The patient and Dr. Bern always talk at least twice before any surgery.
We operate at a fully accredited free standing outpatient surgicenter with 4 operating rooms, as well as our local community hospital outpatient surgery center.
