CARSON CITY -- Two black legislators clashed Wednesday with a conservative education analyst who said school zoning policies in Nevada deprive racial minorities of a chance for quality education.
Patrick Gibbons, an analyst with the Las Vegas-based Nevada Policy Research Institute, called for the Legislature's Committee on Education to advocate for open school enrollment, under which parents could decide which schools their children attend.
Current zoning policies under which children attend schools close to their homes "increases racial segregation and segregation on the basis of income," Gibbons said.
He said the "Ku Klux Klan could not have designed a more racist system."
Assemblyman Harvey Munford, a retired Clark County teacher, said he comes from a low-income area in Akron, Ohio, and doubted the "Ku Klux Klan designed it that way."
Munford, D-Las Vegas, said an open enrollment system would lead to some schools becoming athletic powers because their coaches would recruit the best athletes from across the Las Vegas Valley.
Gibbons said that would not bother him. He said that schools could be become known for art, theater, band and other activities and that students interested in those subjects would enroll there.
But state Sen. Bernice Mathews, D-Reno, said Gibbons' plan would work in "an ideal world" but not in reality.
"We need quality education, no matter where the kids live," Mathews said. "What happens in neighborhoods with money is those kids get a good education because their parents have the resources to help the schools. You don't have that in poor neighborhoods. We need the resources where poor people live."
Munford said that students who attend a school far from their neighborhoods could have problems with transportation and that their parents might not be able to attend parent-teacher meetings.
"I know low-income students can still learn," Munford said.
Gibbons' statements drew a question from another committee member.
"Do you have children?" asked Assemblywoman Marilyn Dondero Loop, D-Las Vegas,.
"No," Gibbons replied.
But Gibbons noted that Hispanic children in Florida now score better on standardized tests than Caucasian children in Nevada.
He said Florida has opened enrollment and adopted a new way of evaluating teachers. Under value-added assessments, teachers are graded on how individual students in their classrooms gain in achievement year to year, not on competition with other students or national averages.
"It is the fairest way to evaluate teachers," said Gibbons, himself a former teacher.
Munford said good teachers are those who are almost willing to work for free and wake up each morning eager to get in the classroom.
"We have been in the trenches. We know what it is all about," Munford said, pointing out that he and three other teachers on the committee spent combined more than 120 years in the classroom.
Mathews complimented Gibbons for suggestions and spawning interest in improving education but questioned Gibbons whether the Nevada Policy Research Institute could use her as another education analyst because "it needs to be brought back to reality."

We demonstrate a decoherence-free quantum memory of one qubit. By encoding the qubit into the decoherence-free subspace (DFS) of a pair of trapped 9Be+ ions, we protect the qubit from environment-induced dephasing that limits the storage time of a qubit composed of a single ion. We measured the storage time under ambient conditions and under interaction with an engineered noisy environment and observed that encoding into the DFS increases the storage time by up to an order of magnitude. The encoding reversibly transfers an arbitrary qubit stored in a single ion to the DFS of two ions.

Reasoning Mind
Nous recrutons!
À propos
Reasoning Mind (RM) is a low-cost, nationally scalable solution to the three most pressing problems in K-12 math education: human capital, curriculum quality, and student engagement. RM partners with schools where student use the RM system during the school day, in the time set aside for mathematics instruction. Each student learns mathematical theory and solves problems at his or her own computer – and consequently, at his or her own rate. Gifted children aren't held back, and struggling children aren't left behind. The teacher is freed to work with students one-on-one or in small groups.
RM was founded in 2000 and while they are classified as a 501(c)3 nonprofit, they operate like a for-profit startup social enterprise and are working towards 100% self-sufficiency. Today, RM is serving about 70,000 students.

Mr Byers - who yesterday published the Monopolies and Mergers Commission report on share underwriting - said there was evidence of a complex monopoly in sub-underwriting, the process via which lead underwriters pass on their risk to other investors.
This had been found by the MMC to operate against the public interest, Mr Byers said. In particular, the practice of charging standard fees for sub-underwriting resulted in "issuing companies being charged higher fees than otherwise".
However, he decided against implementing more draconian measures - such as capping fees - suggested as potential remedies by the MMC in its interim findings last summer.
Instead, Mr Byers will implement MMC proposals aimed at improving advice given by the City to quoted companies and at making companies more accountable to their shareholders.
To the relief of City institutions, Mr Byers did not announce plans to tamper with pre-emption rights - the rights of existing shareholders to have first refusal on any new issues.
The MMC also found evidence of a complex monopoly in lead underwriting, but concluded that it did not operate against the public interest.

Yesterday, Britt Lake and I visited the SEED school here in Washington DC. The campus is amazing and their success is inspiring. Robin Baker and Margaret Ward hosted us and showed us around. We talked about ways that Robin and Margaret can use the GlobalGiving platform more effectively, and Britt and I got a tour of the library that GlobalGiving donors are helping to equip.
The school has an incredibly innovative residential model - kids from some of the rougher areas of DC, under-served by conventional public schools, reside at the SEED school during the week - returning to their families on the weekends. Starting in 6th grade, students are prepped for college and success rates are very high - 97% of students are accepted to college. As a public charter school, SEED can't choose its students, so there is a lottery to pick among the many applicants (see video). Being picked for the SEED school really is like winning a lottery - as a student now has a 97% chance of getting into college.
When asked what he would tell his friends about this project, John said: "Incredible: You need to see this!"
With the support of individuals who give to The SEED School through GlobalGiving, SEED has expanded its library collection and literacy program to better support the needs of its younger, struggling readers, many of whom enter SEED two to three years behind grade level in reading. Over the last two years, SEED has implemented literacy initiative in which students learn at their own level and pace. Students only read books at their own level in order to develop literacy skills and progress. To support this program, SEED's library has expanded its collection of leveled books that are age- and interest-appropriate for middle and high school students but are at lower skill levels. This literacy effort began with expanding the School's collection of books for independent reading, a key to achieving literacy skills growh. After seeing significant improvements over the last two years, SEED is expanding its leveled reading strategies across all content areas to ensure that students do not miss learning content in science, social studies and math due to their current literacy level. To support a school-wide program, SEED is focusing this year on further increasing its collection of leveled books, particularly non-fiction, that support content curriculum, as well as providing professional development so that all teachers - math, science, social studies, and English - are consistent in their literacy instruction and support.

Tom Ricks has an op-ed this week in the New York Times proposing that America reinstitute the draft to alleviate its military, economic, and societal ills. And why not? Apparently retired General Stanley McChrystal thinks it's a good idea. Of course, Ricks's entire case for returning to the military draft is not built on the former Afghan commander's opinion, but it doesn't get much better from there.
The proposal is to conscript both men and women who could choose different lengths of service. Option Ricks specifies is an 18-month stint that would provide "low pay but excellent post-service benefits, including free college tuition†in return for performing menial tasks such as paperwork, barracks maintenance, or serving as chauffeurs for various four-stars. There are other types of service options available in Ricks' scenario though, including non-military, national service of various types, "teaching in low-income areas, cleaning parks, rebuilding crumbling infrastructure, or aiding the elderly. After two years, they would receive similar benefits like tuition aid.†(Ricks helpfully allows that libertarians can opt-out of service, but not taxes, in exchange for forgoing all future government benefits such as Medicare, college loan subsidies, and mortgage protection).
Perhaps what's most disturbing about this call for national military service as a panacea for various economic and social ills is its relationship to an essay Ricks himself favorably reviewed in 1993: "The Origins of the Coup of 2012†by then-Colonel Charles Dunlap. In the essay (PDF), written in 1992 and published in the Army War College journal Parameters, Dunlap outlines a fictional scenario where General Thomas E.T. Brutus, commander-in-chief of the Unified Armed Forces of the United States, has ousted the civilian government. The reasons behind the coup came from a military ill-prepared to fight a war with Iran when the Islamic Republic attacked American allies in the Persian Gulf in 2010. The lack of military readiness had come about for a number of reasons including being tasked to fight the drug war, an overabundance of humanitarian missions, undertaking domestic policing operations in crime-riddled urban areas, providing medical care and education for civilians, and cleaning-up environmental hazards. The military was viewed as the only remaining part of the government that "worked,†so it was tasked to cure all of society's ills.
Of course, the military is already involved with several of those missions, and the national service program suggested is likely to add even more. Ricks would likely argue that in Dunlap's parable of the then-not-too-distant future, the additional tasks outlined were performed by a volunteer military—thus further degrading the military's readiness and engendering the type of animosity that led to the eventual coup. Under his proposal in the Times, all members of society would share the military's burden for providing additional services, therefore forestalling degradation of the military's ability to fight and averting resentment by service members tasked with duties for which they are ill-equipped. A military coup in America is unlikely under any circumstances, but the large conscript force Ricks proposes as "cheap labor†for additional tasks like cleaning parks for states and local municipalities will likely create a demand for more low costs services. Eventually that demand will have similar detrimental effects on military readiness that the volunteer force has experienced—with the added cost of forced service by entire generations of America's youth.
Given America's perpetual admiration for the military over all other sectors of government, who will be called upon to provide the social services such as child and elder care that Ricks proposes if the civilian national service program envisioned provides less-than-ideal results? The more demand created by the allocation of cheap labor, the more "soldiers†the military will need to supply to fulfill more and more menial tasks—perpetuating the same problems Ricks currently bemoans. Additionally, the proposal ignores the quality of service that will be provided by 18-year-olds forced into service of the state—how many people want to take a chance that "Private Pyle†is chosen to provide care for their child, elderly parent, or grandparent? A more equitable system of conscription than the one in place during Vietnam would still include the dregs of society serving right alongside the scions of the "one percent.â€
The long-run savings Ricks envisions from his plan are also unlikely to materialize. Among the likely culprits is Ricks's plan to have free college tuition as one of the benefits conscripts accrue in exchange 18 months of military service at a lower level of pay than the average volunteer. As the Cato Institute's Christopher Preble points out, "[W]e can expect tuition to skyrocket as soon as college administrators realize that the taxpayers are on the hook to pay for these new conscripts' secondary education.â€
Finally, Ricks concludes by parroting McChrystal's assertion that a draft will lead to less war. This contention ignores the two major engagements—Korea and Vietnam—and numerous limited operations undertaken the last time conscription was practiced. But, as Daniel Larison notes, the type of system that Ricks proposes is even less likely to have salutary effects on American willingness to rush off to war.
According to Ricks' system, conscripts would be put to work doing menial tasks for the military here in the U.S., they would be sent into some form of civilian national service, or they could opt out all together (and thereby forego all benefits from the federal government). If there were a war, it seems that none of these conscripts would be expected to fight, since none of them would have been trained to do so. If a future administration were contemplating an unnecessary war, I don't see why it would face any additional political resistance because of this revived draft.
The divide between the U.S. military and the society it serves is not a new theme for Ricks, but the solution always seems to be the same:Â instead, of asking the military to do less, civilians should be forced into military service. The social services provided by military nannies and camouflaged caregivers are a new, and excruciatingly bad, twist on this idea.

Venetian blinds are frequently preferred because of the large surface area and how well the blinds block light. Unfortunately, the increased surface area and slats make cleaning difficult and tedious.
"Many skip cleaning venetian blinds all together, but this is where you and your business can shine," said McQueen.
Several steps are necessary before diving into a cleaning business. Practical training, a business plan and registration for a business license is important, especially if you are going to purchase professional equipment.
"Most professional venetian blind cleaning services have professional equipment. The manufacturers offer turn-key business products, but they do require a business plan and a copy of the license from the state," said McQueen.
Most professional equipment will average around $10,000; so if a loan is necessary, a business plan will be required from the bank to loan the money. Rental equipment, while available, is not cost effective for this business venture.
There is a very high level of income potential with this business, and upwards of $300.00 a day is possible with the right person, marketing and customer base.
"Getting your name out and exposure is key to any business. A cleaning service is no different," said McQueen.

Kankakee County mayors group supporting county executive government
More than a half-dozen mayors in Kankakee County are throwing their support behind a referendum question next week to form an executive form of county government.
Spokesperson Tim Nugent, the mayor Manteno, says "it makes that person a little more receptive to the people."
Nugent is one of eight mayors asking voters to support the executive form of government question on the November 4th ballot. The mayors of Bradley, Bourbonnais, Momence, Grant Park, Aroma Park, Reddick and Sun River Terrace are all onboard supporting the question on Tuesday's ballot.
Nugent said the people don't have a voice the way it is now. The County Board Chairman is appointed by the majority of the county board.
The county board voted earlier this month to oppose the measure, saying it would form another level of government that would be expensive and cause political conflict.

This is a local park. There are some good views from here, but it doesn't seem worth a visit for people from out of town.
This large outcropping of rock is a great perch for the end of the day. . With many levels to explore you can view the evening sky and bay from a nice elevation. I enjoyed this experience after bike riding around Berkeley during the day. Many other sunset viewers share this relaxing experience together.
This is a longtime family favorite, as it's a local hangout and a fun place to climb around the rocks. If you're not a climber, there are steps for easier access to the scenic views atop the rocks. Teens seem to love this spot.
I live around the corner from the park, so it has been part of our family's life for over 30 years. It is a three story high boulder of Berkely Rhyolite with steps notched into one side so that you can climb up and sit on top. The other faces are shear or overhanging and are excellent rock climbing practice...
To get up to Indian Rock Park is a bit of a steep hike but well worth the exercise to see amazing views of San Francisco and the east bay below you on a clear day.
Climb up the rocks for one of the best views of the sunset at San Francisco Bay. Nice friendly community atmosphere on top of a huge rock formation.
Get here vie the pathway that starts at Solano and Alameda. Be sure to climb to the top of the rock for peak enjoyment of the panoramic view of the bay.
Awesome afternoon adventure with the kids!!! Amazing views of the city Oakland to Marin with two bridges in-between!!
Indian Rock is a little know local gem of a place to climb and view the sun set into San Francisco Bay. You get a 180 degree, unobstructed view of the Bay and can enjoy the serenity of such a perfect setting for watching the Bay and its awe inspiring beauty. It is also a great little work out to...
This was once a spiritual center for Native Americans. Climb steps carved into the rock and you will be rewarded with a 270-degree view of the Bay Area, including Mt.

Thai restaurant showing creative flair in its dishes – and and even its tables.
The 2016/17 edition of The List's Eating & Drinking Guide is out now – only £5.95 (+p&p).
This review is taken from the current (2016) edition.
Krua Khun Mae is located just off Cockburn Street, down one of the famous thoroughfare's atmospheric closes, offering a welcome retreat from the hustle and bustle of the city. Inside, the tables are attractive and unusual, with glass tops covering individual decorations beneath. The quality of the food matches up to the pleasant atmosphere and will please traditionalists or those looking for more of a fusion touch. If you're in the latter group, the crispy wonton with haggis and cheddar accompanied by sweet chilli sauce is perhaps the ultimate in Scottish-Thai comfort food; one of those dishes that feels like it shouldn't work but really does. If that sounds a little on the heavy side, it's easy to steer things back to more delicate flavours and textures with the classic simplicity of pad Thai. Alternatively, if you're craving a curry, the gaeng pha (jungle curry) perfectly combines heat with the aromatic qualities of fresh galangal. A restaurant that's a treat for the eyes and for the tastebuds.
- High point: Wonderfully aromatic gaeng pha
- Low point: BYOB only available Sun-Thu
- Notable dish: Gaeng pha (jungle curry)
- Private dining: Up to 25 covers

Ben Lomond/Cape Portland peoples
Launceston, Tasmania, Australia born 1953
Collection Title: Saddened were the hearts of many men
Place made: Tasmania, Australia
Materials & Technique: photographs, gelatin silver print
These three portraits come from Maynard's most recent series of twelve portraits of men from his hometown on Flinders Island. These are men Maynard knows from around the island, and the portraits are the result of an extended, collaborative process of conversation and friendship-building. 'It was quite some time ago', Maynard has explained, 'that I began a close observation and inquiry into how our men in the community were being affected by their diminishing role in society'. He is concerned with the ways Aboriginal men are affected by intergenerational trauma which can be traced back to the impact of colonisation and more recent political, social and cultural disenfranchisement. Maynard sees the portraits forming part of a larger historical record: 'It is hoped that one day a future generation will come to look into the eyes of these men and see the essence that is being communicated, their sincerity, their searching, their journey, burdened by the weight of a brutal history they continued with an enduring spirit'.

We don't know about you, but we never stop fighting the good fight against dry skin, especially come the winter months. Meet the most effective weapon in our arsenal. This dry oil—a blend of grape, hibiscus, sesame, and argan oils—hydrates parched skin and disappears in seconds without any residual stickiness or oiliness. Its antioxidant grape-seed polyphenols soften and moisturize while restoring the skin's hydrolipidic (read: moisture) film. Bonus: The multitasking formula works as a strengthening cuticle treatment and a nourishing hair oil. And the scent is truly divine, with fresh notes of Moroccan and Bulgarian rose, grapefruit, vanilla, and the subtlest floral undertones.
Living in the arid conditions of Colorado, I am always looking for products which will keep the hydration in my hair, without feeling greasy or weighed-down. A little of this product goes a long, long way. I don't mind spending extra on a product, when a small amount goes a long way. I did a big chop on my very curly hair five months ago, and this product took excellent care of my hair!4
On the colder days, my skin gets very dry and sensitive...almost to the point of eczema (which I get every winter). This product is great for any patches of dry skin. Also great for knees and elbows! I wish it lasted a little longer, but the small sample size allows for easy travel in my purse!4

Hold my Hand
It'll be alright
Stay with me
Sing with me
Hold my Hand
I feel your cold
your shivers
Look in my eyes
I see your fear
but I am here
Don't be afraid
I'll always be near
I feel your heart beat
it beats alongside mine
Stay with me
Hold my Hand
Don't let me go
I'll stay with you
Until the end of time
They say its inevitable
I refuse to believe it
I won't say the words
I won't say goodbye
I've loved you all along
I'll love you so much longer
I know it's inevitable
I don't care
You'll always be mine
So hold my hand
Don't be afraid
I'll always be here
Look in my eyes
You may feel fear
but I am here
So hold my hand
I'll stay with you
until its time

Lots of people remember the humorous things that happened when they were kids. Marlo Thomas remembers more than most.
Thomas recounts her laugh-filled childhood - and beyond - in "Growing Up Laughing: My Story and the Story of Funny." She takes the reader not only through her younger years, but up to present day as well.
There's her big success both in front of and behind the camera on the groundbreaking 1960s sitcom "That Girl"; the courtship with and marriage to Phil Donahue; and the ongoing work with her father's pride and joy: the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, Tenn.
All of that would be enough for a great read about a person who has seen and done it all in the world of show business.
But Thomas takes it a step further in "Growing Up Laughing," linking the laughter she's enjoyed in her life to how the funniest people in America found the humor in theirs.
The comedians' insights in "Growing Up Laughing" are fascinating, Thomas' recollections are endearing and the anecdotes shared by all are downright hilarious.

When does attraction start?
So I saw this statement in another post and had a very strong YES to it. While it may not be enough to warrant its own thread, I have enough to say to warrant not hijacking the OT.
Funny, while all the girls in high school put up posters of this guy and that guy in their lockers, I went "meh."
Give me a traditionally HAWT man with a crummy personality, and I'll show you someone that I have no interest in. It does go to the point of affecting sexual desire. Perhaps this is why the vast majority of casual sex I've had has always been with friends? I find the act of trying to pick up at a bar unattractive, and so everyone in the bar just goes down a notch for me. (Even if I might have also been trying to pick up, not necessarily get laid.) Funny how the brain works!
Now women on the other hand ... I will immediately find a woman attractive! In terms of the strangers I check out, women make up 95%. Women tend to work backwards, if I find them immediately attractive. (If I don't find them immediately attractive, they follow the same path as a man.)
Here's an example:
-Saw the movie Domino, fell in lust with Kiera Knightley.
-Saw Kiera Knightley on the Daily Show, watched her bomb an interview with Jon Stewart. A quick wit and sense of humour is extremely appealing to me, to the point of being a necessity. She basically sat there and giggled at him.
-Immediately fell out of lust with Knightley.
-I do still enjoy Domino.
That's a shallow, "from afar" example, but it works the same in real life.
One might argue that I liked her "personality" in Domino, and I think this is somewhat true. However, her real personality easily overpowered that.
And finally, since it's six in the morning and I am just randomly throwing things in here, rather than formulating a cohesive post, I will say that if I ever met Kiera Knightley, and she turned out to be articulate and witty and wonderful, then that would overpower the Daily Show interview.
So, nothing is set in stone for me. I oscillate in my level of attraction, until I have enough "evidence" about that person that my body makes up its own mind.
Now, discuss!

Well that absolutely depends. Attraction comes from lots of locations. If I think back to all the times I have felt attraction enough to both dating or trying to date. I have a few different patterns
Raw absolute lust. My one ex and I saw each other and immediately started making out. Very strange level of sexual intensity. This was a fireball of a relationship that lasted a very short time. Physically she would not be considered attractive by the masses. A little butch with a lot of cute.
Our ex was flirty and cute. A really skilled flirter. Her intelligence was above par so she immediately caught my attention. In her, I was attracted to the facade of this initial personality. (physically she is nice too) If I had met her "real" personality first. I likely wouldn't have been interested at all.
I am currently very attracted to SJ. This pattern was forced to be one of intelligence and friendship. This is a new one for me as I have never had a friendship transition into a relationship. The attraction in this one came from getting to know her personality, quirks and intelligence. She attracted me in the same way Pengrah did the first time we met. Although with Pengrah I was able to get physical very very quickly.
Angelina Jolie, if we are talking stars, is the type of woman I like. Now I know 70% of the population can say that, but my reasoning has to do more with her, then her physical attributes. I started crushing on her in Hackers. It was the look in her eyes. You knew she was a kinky girl. That personality captured me. If I catch that glitter of sexual recognition from a woman than I can instantly become attracted.
Attraction may usually start in the eyes, but it always ends in the head.
I can fancy someone for what they look like, in a sort of "ohh they're nice" kind of way, but I know it's a superficial crush. They're just eye candy.
I am attracted to big sexy brains If someone is smart, can make me laugh and is kind, they've pretty much got me
Sexy brains ALWAYS win!
The way my attraction works, I HAVE to be physically attracted first, if not you are instantly friendzoned (shallow, I know ) and after passing the physical test, you just have to make me like you. But what I find attractive physically is very broad (so maybe not SO shallow ). I love nerds, jocks, "cool", goths, fem, stud, ect.
In terms of stars, my crushes are KID CUDI, Michael Cera<3, Kid Cudi, Travis Mccoy, kid cudi, B.o.B and Scott MesCUDI lol
i kinda like kid cudi too... ^_^
When one limits themselves in terms of love, they have missed the point of love altogether ~ RazeGeneration
I joke that this whole dating thing is new to me, after 8 yrs of only Karma. But it's honest. I rarely even noticed anyone else in that sense. It wasn't until Panda came along and then non b/f, that I started to open my eyes. If someone was pointed out as eye candy, I may notice then, but very rarely on my own.
It's almost all personality to me. It can definitaly make or break attraction.
I think it depends on the person. With my husband, his personality and brain got me before his looks did. With our love-interest, for me, it was looks first, then personality.
Both definitely has to be there, but in what order they are apparent depends.
The study involved placing sensors on self-identified bi men's genitals and "measuring" attraction. Then -- get this -- the men were "exposed" porn of two types, one with man/men (with no women) and the other with women/woman (without men). Most of the self-identified bi men physically -- and measurably -- responded to the male erotica; and most did not so respond to the female erotica.
This was supposed to more-or-less discredit male bisexuality in humans. As if there couldn't be more going on in attraction / difference.

I'm not sure it's necessary that accurate... I knew a bisexual guy who told me that male/male and male/female porn did it for him, but not female/female porn because he had nobody to identify with. And similarly male/male porn does nothing at all for me, yet I'm very straight.
I would have found it more interesting if they had shown pictures of individuals, some male, some female, and analyzed the reactions to that.

Yes,once there are a number of growing stony corals you will want to look into a additive. At first I used KH buffer and calcium supplements but I now use a 3 part dosing system that I mix myself for better control.

Multiple gobies in a small tank can some times be trouble,they can get territorial depending on the species.I would stick with just one or a pair.

Well i read that. But they r hole different sub group, the randalls is a shrimp goby and the court jester different. But i rethought the stock. 1 possum wrasse, 1 royal gramma, 1 randalls shrimp goby, 1 pistol shrimp, 1 court jester goby, 3 pepperment shrimp, 1 boxer shrimp, 3 hermits, 2 turbo snails (not the larger mexicans), 3-4 nassarius snails, i can get a red scooter blenny that eats pellets and frozen foods so probally 1 of those, and maybe a blue tuxedo urchin.

This Lent, take a 40-day devotional journey with Dietrich Bonhoeffer. Click here to sign up.
Relief is here brought to Samaria and her king, when the case is, in a manner, desperate, and the king despairing. I. It is foretold by Elisha, and an unbelieving lord shut out from the benefit of it, 2 Kgs. 7:1, 2. II. It is brought about, 1. By an unaccountable fright into which God put the Syrians (2 Kgs. 7:6), which caused them to retire precipitately, 2 Kgs. 7:7. 2. By the seasonable discovery which four lepers made of this (2 Kgs. 7:3-5), and the account which they gave of it to the court, 2 Kgs. 7:8-11. 3. By the cautious trial which the king made of the truth of it, 2 Kgs. 7:12-15. III. The event answered the prediction both in the sudden plenty (2 Kgs. 7:16), and the death of the unbelieving lord (2 Kgs. 7:17-20); for no word of God shall fall to the ground.

Whitefish Bay Irish dancers Kyra Fox and Mara Peterson achieved a success some girls who dance may only dream about. Both girls, age 17, have earned the honor of competing at the World Irish Dance Championships in London.
"It's every Irish dancers dream to go to World's," Fox said, who started Irish dancing at the age of six.
Mara Peterson started Irish dancing at the age of four. She was drawn into dancing because of her family's interest in it.
Peterson said that her parents wanted to see her perform the folk dances on stage — to be one of the girls seen in parades and in performances — adorned in the traditional A-line, hand-embroidered dress with long hair coiled in ringlets, kicking and hopping to the skirl of a bagpipe jig.
Fox and Peterson will be showcasing their dance routines throughout this week to approximately 20,000 audience members and judges.
They are competing against nearly 200 dancers in their age category. Over all, more than 5,000 male and female dancers will be showing off their skills with the hope of winning a World Champion title, according to the event web site.
Started for fun
When both girls started Irish dancing, they thought it would be just another fun activity like ballet or soccer. Neither girl knew at the time how they would fall in love with it.
As the girls grew older, they realized that if they wanted to compete and win, it would be solely up to them — to work hard at it. And they did.
Peterson completed last November in the Midwest Championship of Irish Dance, which qualified her to dance at the World Championships.
Fox competed last July with dancers from all over North America and internationally in the North American Irish Dance Competition in Anaheim, Calif., where she qualified for the world competition.
Hard work
The girls accomplished their success "with hard work and perseverance over many years," said Sean Beglan, teacher, professional Irish dancer and owner of Beglan Academy of Irish Dance in Glendale.
This year, Beglan Academy had eight dancers who qualified to go to the World Championships in categories ranging from age 11 through over 21 years of age. Beglan has been the girls' teacher.
Both girls acknowledged how their dance teachers inspired and pushed them to work harder, especially on technical aspects of their dance steps.
These technical matters, such as turning their feet out while dancing, and increasing toe height and toe points, which create prominent arches, are core skills judges assess during competitions.
Attitude adjustment
Fox acknowledged she needed to change her attitude to combat her nervousness and the sleepless nights that have plagued her before competitions.
"I had to work hard and work smart," Fox said. "I sailed through the younger levels ... now, I have to not self-criticize. It takes a toll on dancing. I need to build myself up, change my attitude and try to make the steps."
Peterson also admitted to succumbing to pressures on her journey.
"My friends moved up to the next class. In order for me to get there, I had to work my basics," she said.
The girls' determination paid off, according to Beglan.
"I am happy to see their reward for their hard work," Beglan said. "Trusting on their part ... to stick and continue to practice."
The support the girls received from their teachers and parents as well as fellow dancers made their efforts worthwhile.
"The support that made the difference was from my teacher definitely," Fox said. "My dancing friends saw good in my dancing when I didn't."

Bad Tattoo Brewing inks downtown deal
You've spent the day at Okanagan Beach, frolicking in the water and tanning on the beach, what better way to finish up the day than a short walk into downtown Penticton for a beer and a slice of pizza at the city's newest craft brewery.
That's one of the scenarios envisioned by Martin Lewis, manager of Kettle Valley Station pub and his partner Robin Agur, for Bad Tattoo Brewing, set to open in May with their first brews.
"That is our goal, in early May, to be producing beer," said Lewis, who describes the location of Bad Tattoo as "a block from the Peach and a block from Landmark Cinema."
Along with the brewery, the design incorporates a pizzeria-style restaurant and outdoor patio.
The building permit for the lot on the corner of Martin Street and Estabrooke Avenue was issued in late December, according to Anthony Haddad, director of development services.
"They have done a great job on that patio on the corner, obviously to attract people from the beach and down on Winnipeg and Martin Streets where we are doing the street improvements," said Haddad, adding that the brewery is a perfect fit with the city's investment in revitalizing the downtown.
"We are seeing a number of private developments coming into downtown right now, which is a sign the economy is on the up," said Haddad.
Lewis isn't ready to give out specifics of the beers yet, but said they are planning four main beers, along with eight seasonals. The choices will run the gamut, including North American and European style lagers, ales and pilsners.
"Once we get into seasonals, there is no set format. It will be all over the place," said Lewis. The concept is to stay as local as possible, including the labels for the brews.
"All of our label designs were commissioned from local tattoo artists. and we already have the artwork for those in process," said Lewis, adding that they have three artists already working on designs.
Neither Lewis nor Agur have tattoos themselves, good or bad.
The name Bad Tattoo comes out of wanting a name that both had marketing potential, and that they could have fun with.
"We thought, here's a concept that is not out there yet in the beer world and we could leverage in our marketing plans." said Lewis.
"It's not supposed to be taken in a negative connotation. We will certainly spin that to be a positive name choice, so bad means good in this case."
One the food side of the development, Lewis said they are installing a wood-fired pizza oven.
"It's a really simple restaurant concept. The food will be designed to enhance the flavours of the beer and we'll have unique pizzas that match well with the beers," said Lewis.
"We are not going to be a full service restaurant, we are going to be a pizzeria inside the brewery."
The idea, he said, is to keep the concept simple, something that fits the lifestyle around the beach in the summertime, and that can easily be scaled back in the winter season.
Along with their beers, Lewis said they will feature a local winery along with some non-alcoholic choices.
"We are also planning to make a couple of sodas for children and people that don't drink, so we are going to make a brewed root beer and an apple soda as well as beer," he said.
Lewis is hoping to have the bad tattoo beers available at Kettle Valley Station Pub as well. Previously brew pubs could only serve their products on site, but Agur and Lewis have applied for an exemption under revised provincial regulations.
Lewis is a strong proponent of craft brewing, saying it is the only sector of the liquor industry that is growing at an exponential rate.
And there is plenty of room in Penticton for another craft brewery, alongside the Cannery Brewing Company, the Tin Whistle Brewing Company and Barley Mill Brew Pub.
"Craft is a very collaborative industry. The guys at the Cannery were very aware of what we were doing. They were the first people we talked to and they are very positive about it as well," said Lewis.

Friday Favorite: Homemade Pizza
Mr Chiots loves pizza. There aren't a ton of place that are close and convenient so we sometimes make our own. Last night I finally had time to make eight, one to eat and seven for the freezer. Now we have quick meals this summer that will pair perfectly with a salad.
I used this sourdough pizza crust recipe and it turned out very well, definitely a dough I'll be making over and over again! They were topped with fresh mushrooms, red onions from the garden, kalamata olives, and Italian sausage from our pigs. Perfectly delicious.

The Incredible Egg
Most mornings I have eggs for breakfast. I eat them poached, fried, scrambled, baked into frittatas, and pretty much any other way I can think to fix them. Now that all the ducks are laying I often eat an egg from each type of bird. Muscovy eggs are really big, more like goose eggs than ducks. You can see how big the yolk is on the top egg.
On the right you can see a chicken egg and on the bottom there's an Ancona duck egg. They're all delicious, but I will eat choose duck eggs over chicken eggs if you have them. I still haven't eaten the turkey egg from Sunday, perhaps I'll crack that open later this morning. I find that the different types of eggs can taste a little different and sometimes you can tell the difference between eggs from different birds.

Make it a Double, or a Triple
Whenever I make something that freezes well I double or triple the recipe. Then I freeze single portions in wide mouth pint jars. I find this really helps when I don't have time to come up with a healthy meal or when I'm just too tired to cook. They also come in quite handy when my pantry gets a little bare.
Last week I tried this recipe for Curried Broccoli Soup and we LOVED it. I got more broccoli at the co-op this week and made up a double batch to throw in the freezer. This soup is good for any meal, even breakfast. This weekend I have had it every single morning. I'm happy to have a few meals worth tucked away in the freezer. (for tips on freezing in glass jars check out my post on that topic).

Quote of the Day: Julia Child
"Cooking is just as creative and imaginative an activity as drawing, or wood carving, or music."
The other day I was eating breakfast and trying to decide what to make for dinner. I'm definitely not one of those come up with a menu at the beginning of the week and stick to it type of cooks. Cooking is one of my creative outlets.
I like to keep a well stocked pantry and buy what's on sale and what looks fresh and delicious when I'm at the farmers market or the local co-op. Then I plan my meals depending on what I have in the fridge, what needs eaten up, what is in season, or what I feel like eating.
Most of my meals are quick to make and very simple, though I do like to spend all day in the kitchen if I get the opportunity. As with many people, there are a few things that we really enjoy and they grace our plates more often than other things: omelets, fajitas, stir-fry, soup, seafood, steak marsala, salad, and curry, along with a few other favorites.
There's not much I enjoy more than coming up with something delicious after a quick look in the fridge/freezer/pantry. I am always trying to expand my horizons and learn to new foods/techniques along with coming up with new ideas for our favorite meals. This month I'm planning on trying to make sushi and spring rolls, we shall see how they turn out and if they end up on our favorites rotation.

Hard Boiled (or Steamed) Fresh Eggs
You've probably heard hundreds of times how fresh eggs are difficult to peel when hard boiled. The key to easy peel fresh eggs is to steam the eggs instead of boiling. I've tried pretty much every method out there like salt and/or baking soda in the water and Julia Child's method, which is quite involved. Then I read about steaming eggs, I tried it and it worked perfectly.
All you need to do it set up your steamer, get the water boiling, add eggs, and cook for 8-12 minutes depending on the size of the eggs and how you want the yolks cooked. Remove from the steamer and plunge into ice water. They eggs should peel like a dream. These eggs were only two days old when I cooked them.
Now the the only difficulty you'll find after boiling eggs is trying to figure out what to stuff them with. On this occasion I used avocado and lime juice and sprinkled the tops with chipotle powder. Curried deviled eggs are also fabulous. There's a jar of pickled beet juice in the fridge just waiting for hard boiled eggs as well. I love having deviled eggs in the fridge for quick healthy breakfast or snacks. Nothing beats the incredible edible egg!!!

Moga MLA Joginderpal Jain Friday appeared before the court of judicial magistrate Faridkot in the pending case registered against him under Punjab Apartment and Property Regulation Act in 2007 by Mehna police. The next date of hearing will be on April 5.

The other four members of his family also filed the bail applications on March 17 in the court of additional district and sessions judge Faridkot after the issuance of the arrest warrants against them which are likely to be taken up on March 23.

Nash out vs. Houston, iffy thereafter
Steve Nash is hopeful his troublesome right hamstring will feel better after receiving an epidural injection Tuesday morning and allow him to play in the playoffs, if the Lakers qualify.
But Nash will not play Wednesday night in the regular-season finale against Houston.
Nash had an MRI Monday after missing almost eight full games because of the leg problem, and the results confirmed pre-existing issues related to his hip and back. The result is nerve irritation, contributing to his hamstring pain and weakness.
Steve Blake and Jodie Meeks are the Lakers' starting backcourt in the absence of injured Kobe Bryant and Nash. Houston's starting backcourt is often cited as the strongest in the NBA with point guard Jeremy Lin and volume scorer James Harden.
If Utah wins at Memphis in a game starting at 5 p.m. Pacific time Wednesday, the Lakers still start at 7:30 p.m., needing to beat the Rockets to make the playoffs. Whether Utah wins or loses, a Lakers victory would make them the Western Conference's seventh seed against San Antonio in the the first round. If both Utah and the Lakers lose, the Lakers would be eighth and open against top-seeded Oklahoma City, which eliminated them in the second round last season.
Lakers coach Mike D'Antoni said that Memphis victory earlier -- the Grizzlies should be motivated to win in their search for home-court playoff advantage -- to clinch a playoff berth for the Lakers would not lead the Lakers to let up against Houston.
"I don't think that'll change the intensity of what we're trying to do," D'Antoni said.
Houston leads the NBA in scoring at 106.1 points per game, using the style of open-floor attack that D'Antoni popularized in Phoenix and ran dynamically with Lin in New York. The Lakers have often struggled with offenses that create guard penetration because after they help in the paint, they are slow to recover back to shooters on the perimeter.
Lakers center Dwight Howard said the key against the Rockets would be to "make them take tough" two-point shots.
The Lakers' first-round playoff series would likely start Sunday in San Antonio or Oklahoma City.
