23 CHAPTER 4 | Recommendations
38 About the Commissioners
41 About the Proj ect Directors and Staff
1. Articulate a clear vision of the United States as a Pacific power
Specific Implementation Steps
a. Include an explicit reference to Amer i caΓÇÖs role as a Pacific power in the presidentΓÇÖs inaugural address, and follow up with a major domestic policy speech on the importance of the Asia Pacific to Amer i caΓÇÖs future.
b. In the first year of the administration, prepare a Presidential Policy Directive (PPD) on U.S. strategy toward the region, with economics at the core, that will orient and align agency activities throughout the administration and best mesh with the way Asian countries view their own economic and security interests.
c. Begin planning early for the presidentΓÇÖs first trip to Asia and ensure annualΓÇöif not semiannualΓÇö presidential trips to the region as well as regular high- level interaction with Asian leaders at other international gatherings.
d. Strengthen the PresidentΓÇÖs Export Council (PEC) and the Advisory Committee for Trade Policy and Negotiations (ACTPN) as forums for engaging the private sector and state and local officials, including governors and mayors, on U.S. foreign economic policy. Tangible outcomes are critical.
2. Complete TPP, and continue working to open markets and strengthen rules in the Asia Pacific
Specific Implementation Steps
a. Engage with trading partners to remedy TPP as needed, and then prepare the ground with Congress, industry, and the American public for ratification and vigorous enforcement of TPP.
b. Conclude a strong TiSA agreement and expand it to other key trading partners.
c. Conclude high-standard investment agreements with non-TPP economies, including China, India, and Indonesia.
d. Step up work in APEC to promote high standards for trade and investment and build capacity in the regionΓÇÖs less-developed economies.
e. Revive multilateral rulemaking on government procurement by proposing, as a first step, an agreement on transparency in government procurement separate from market access obligations, with the latter to follow.
3. Take action to ensure that the U.S.- China relationship is mutually beneficial
Specific Implementation Steps
a. In an early call with the Chinese president, President Trump should make clear that the incoming administration is determined to have a mutually beneficial relationship with China, will identify areas for potential cooperation as well as priority areas of concern, and? will take forceful action to defend U.S. security and economic interests. The president should stress that talk will not substitute for the further reform and opening that will be required if the United States and China are to maintain productive relations.
b. In that first official presidential call, propose the transformation of the S&ED and JCCT through a new framework for high- level dialogue on major issues in the U.S.- China relationship that includes the following ele ments:
i. Annual ΓÇ£Sunnylands- styleΓÇ¥ (i.e., extended and informal) summits between the two leaders that establish bilateral priorities and goals, and commitment to review progress on these goals on a regular basis.
ii. Small, elevated forums in relevant functional areas between the actual decisionmakers in the two systems designated by the two leaders. For example, the U.S. trea sury secretary and the director of the Chinese Communist PartyΓÇÖs Finance and Economics Leading Small Group would lead the resolution of macroeconomic, financial, and related issues.
iii. A regular, informal channel between the national security adviser and the director of the National Economic Council (NEC)ΓÇö the U.S. presidentΓÇÖs top foreign policy and economic advisers, respectivelyΓÇö with the closest and most se nior advisers to the Chinese president on priorities in the U.S.- China relationship and the timeline for action. This 2x2 group should meet in person at least twice a year and have virtual exchanges on an ad hoc basis as issues arise.
c. Use existing U.S. laws, such as the Trade Act of 1974 (as amended), to more actively investigate Chinese unfair trade and investment practices and develop action plans to address those practices. Allocate sufficient resources to ensure robust enforcement of existing trade laws. Work with Congress to consider new legal tools to support U.S. economic interests.
d. Seek to conclude a high- standard investment agreement with China that provides robust protections from discriminatory policies for U.S. companies operating in the Chinese market and vastly opens ChinaΓÇÖs market to U.S. investment in both nature and scope, as provided in the United States. Continue to monitor Chinese FDI inflows and seek to maximize the benefits of these investments while insisting on reciprocal treatment of U.S. investment and investors in China.
e. Convene a pro cess for regular engagement of stakeholders in the private sector and civil society to assess the state of the U.S.- China relationship, with specific attention to issues inconsistent with mutually beneficial economic relations. Issue an annual public report summarizing the findings of this pro cess and benchmarking against the previous year.
4. Take action to maintain?U.S. technological leadership
Specific Implementation Steps
a. Develop a pro- innovation strategy at home that includes investment in infrastructure and education, tax and regulatory reform, and increased federal investment in R&D.
b. Actively promote the adoption of standards developed or preferred by the U.S. private sector in regional organ izations and international institutions, and ensure effective repre sen ta tion of the United States in international standards- setting bodies.
c. Strengthen and build on APEC membersΓÇÖ commitment to existing APEC investment and innovation princi ples,5 and work through APEC and other relevant forums to root out localization requirements and restrictions on cross- border data flows.
d. Implement key recommendations of the 2013 IP Commission Report6 (the Huntsman- Blair report), among others:
i. Require the Securities and Exchange Commission to judge whether companiesΓÇÖ use of stolen IP is a material condition that ought to be publicly reported.
ii. Greatly expand the number of green cards available to foreign students who earn science, technology, engineering, and mathe matics degrees in American universities and who have a job offer in their field upon graduation.
iii. Establish a quick- response capability to sequester imported goods that incorporate stolen or pirated materials or were made with a business pro cess that includes illegally procured intellectual property, strengthening the existing Section?337 pro cess of the Tariff Act of 1930.
e. Use Executive Order 13694 to aggressively deter cyber- enabled theft of American IP. This provision, issued by President Obama in 2015, authorizes the government to sanction individuals and entities that conduct cyber- enabled activities that threaten U.S. national security, foreign policy, economic health, or financial stability.
5. Bring U.S. strengths to the infrastructure push across Asia
Specific Implementation Steps
a. Develop a set of princi ples for governing infrastructure investment that promote transparency, regulatory certainty, and a level playing field for U.S. business. Work with partners to refine and gain ac cep tance for these princi ples across the Asia Pacific.
b. Win support for MDBs to design a comprehensive regional infrastructure blueprint based on these princi ples.
c. Within this plan, work with the World Bank, ADB, AIIB, and national governments to designate priority proj ects as a means of coordinating partners and improving proj ect viability, including through creation of PPFs in de pen dent from governments that can work with national officials to prepare and seek funding for specific proj ects.
d. Increase infrastructure- related technical assistance through the U.S. Trea sury Department, USAID, and Trade and Development Agency (USTDA). Enhance collaboration with the private sector to run courses on procurement excellence and other topics necessary to build a more informed customer base.
e. Benchmark current U.S. export- support efforts against regional commercial competitors (including allies) and significantly expand the resources and product offerings of the Ex- Im and OPIC to support the competitiveness of U.S. products and ser vices.
f. Build on the U.S.- ASEAN Connect initiative,7 launched at Sunnylands in February?2016, by expanding the number of one- stop- shop centers across Southeast Asia to better coordinate U.S. economic engagement on infrastructure, information and communications technology (ICT), and energy, and to connect more entrepreneurs, investors, and businesses with each other.
6. Update and uphold the Asia-Pacific economic architecture
Specific Implementation Steps
a. Sustain high- level participation in key regional forums, including regular participation by the president at the EAS, APEC, and U.S.- ASEAN summits.
b. Invite ASEAN leaders to the United States in 2017 for a U.S.-ASEAN summit, building on the gains made at the 2016 Sunnylands summit.
c. Review and adopt key recommendations on institutional reform in the Atlantic CouncilΓÇÖs 2015 Shaping the Asia- Pacific Future report.
d. As part of an overall effort to reinvigorate APEC, work to strengthen the PSUΓÇÖs efforts to improve regional data quality and monitoring and spread best practices. Promote the PSU as?an incubator for regional standard- setting efforts and a hub for private- sector engagement on standard setting.
e. Building on APECΓÇÖs vital role in encouraging voluntary cooperation and best practices, work with allies and partners to improve the level of cybersecurity awareness across the region. Promoting sound understanding of cybersecurity is critical to building support for the multi- stakeholder model of Internet governance and other U.S. priorities, such as ensuring the free flow of data.
f. Reinforce the under pinnings of regional institutions and strengthen U.S. educational and ideational linkages with Asia by promoting U.S.- style education centers in the region (such as Fulbright University Vietnam) and encouraging greater linkages between U.S. and regional policy institutions (such as think tanks).
g. Continue to promote greater regional financial integration by supporting stronger domestic capital markets in ASEAN countries.
7. Work with Congress to rebuild?U.S. leverage and?fully resource?U.S. priorities in Asia
Specific Implementation Steps
a. Request that Congress establish a high- level, bipartisan advisory group, including elected officials from local governments, members of Congress, and leading technical experts on economics, trade, security, global value chains, and technology, to investigate and make recommendations for improving U.S. economic intelligence and analytical capabilities in the Asia Pacific.
b. Conduct a review of U.S. legal authorities for responding to IP theft, market access barriers, and related impediments, as well as a review of resources for enforcement, and enhance both as appropriate.
c. Work with Congress to develop fully resourced programs to deter unfair competition and curb market- distorting policies in the region.
d. Direct the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to assess whether U.S. Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) is effectively enforcing existing legislation, such as on human rights, the environment, forced labor, and inspections of products that violate IPR and product safety standards.
e. Expand funding for the hiring of Asia specialists, including those with language capability, in?the Departments of State, Trea sury, Commerce, and the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) and the intelligence community.
f. Increase the number and range of fellowships (such as the Franklin Fellowships) for individuals from the private sector to transition into the public sector (and vice versa), to help with public- private information sharing.
g. Increase funding levels for civil society exchange programs active in Asia, especially the IVLP, and set aside more funding for scholarship programs aimed at training next- generation leaders from less- developed countries in Asia.
8. Build an effective interagency Asia economic team coordinated by the White House
Specific Implementation Steps
a. Designate the national security adviser and the head of the NEC as the primary officials responsible for implementation of the Presidential Policy Directive on U.S. Asia- Pacific strategy (see recommendation 1b), including its economic dimensions.
b. Designate a single se nior official, reporting directly to both the national security adviser and the NEC director, as responsible for overseeing and coordinating U.S. economic strategy toward Asia.
c. Establish a standing interagency committee chaired by this official that designs and implements Asia economic strategy, pulling in key Asia and economic policy officials from across government, including national security agencies, as well as implementing agencies, such as Ex- Im and OPIC. Outreach to key stakeholdersΓÇö including Congress, local governments, and the private sectorΓÇö should be a priority for this group.
d. Reduce reporting and other routine requirements for State and Commerce officers at post, particularly in the Asia- Pacific region, and better channel their energies toward collaboration and value- added contributions to strategic economic policymaking.

GI of rice cakes?
GI of rice cakes?
Anyone have an idea of what the GI of rice cakes made with whole brown rice is?
Seems the ones made with white rice at 87 but these don't have white rice in them.
I like spreading my tuna on plain rice cakes but I also like to stick to low GI foods and this seems to be contrary to what I originally beleived.

Start by chopping up some vegetables. This is where you can be creative and customize it to your liking. I had onion, mushrooms and green peppers on hand so that's what I used. The amount is up to you, also. I like egg dishes that are heavy on the veggies so I chopped up a bunch.
Heat a small amount of olive oil in a pan, about 1-2 tablespoons, over medium heat. Then, throw in your mound of chopped vegetables. Let these saute away until slightly cooked, about 5-6 minutes.
When I make scrambled eggs, I like to add hot sauce. It doesn't make it hot, just gives it a good flavor. Whisk these up with a small amount of milk and pour over the veggies on the stovetop. Cook the egg and veggie mixture just like you would your regular scrambled eggs, stirring occasionally.
Heat your whole wheat tortilla in the microwave about 20 seconds, just enough to warm it and add a small portion of your eggs on top. Finish your burrito by adding shredded cheese and salsa. Wrap it up and enjoy! My five eggs lasted me three meals, that night, the next day for lunch and breakfast the day after that! Easy peasy!

Hello all you naughty boys and girls of Literotica. I'm back with another audio version of a text story that I'm submitting. The text version is also called Mohana and should be coming out any day now. Please, don't forget to leave me feedback and votes for BOTH the text version of this story as well as the audio version that you've come to expect from me.
This is my second Literotica story featuring some hot girl on girl action. This time it is a beautiful Indian Malaysian girl who I roomed with in college. I tutored her in English and in quite a bit more. Mohana will always hold a special place in my heart and the little selfish part of me hopes I ruined her for anyone else. I really enjoyed showing her what a woman could do to her body and I hope her heart as well. The events I'm about to relay to you did actually happen, although this is retold to the best of my memory. So sit back, relax and let me take you into my fantasy.

Volume 5 Supplement 1
2nd International Conference of cGMP Generators, Effectors and Therapeutic Implications
Exploring vasomotor mechanisms using PKG specific inhibitors
- Wolfgang Dostmann1Email author
© BioMed Central Ltd 2005
Published: 16 June 2005
The regulation of vascular tone is fundamentally linked to the activity of cGMP-dependent protein kinase (PKG). cGMP-induced activation of PKG presents a key step in the nitric oxide (NO) mediated reduction of intracellular Ca2+ and ultimately in vascular smooth muscle (VSM) relaxation. 'Acute' PKG inhibition in the vasculature by the use of our recently developed potent and membrane-permeable PKG inhibitors, point to a novel, cGMP-independent role for PKG in smooth muscle. First, work done using DT-2 and the proteolytically stable analog (D)DT-2 suggests that constitutive PKG activity may play a functional role in the control of vascular tone. A second key discovery implies that the expression of PKG in small resistance arteries is dependent on intraluminal pressure. Virtually nothing is known about the role of basal PKG activity as well as the mechano-sensitive expression of PKG in the control of VSM relaxation. Both findings suggest a new concept, whereby PKG may play a role in modulating vascular tone autonomous of cGMP.

My wife and I are planning a 10-night trip to Costa Rica in late May 2015. We have visited previously - Tortuguero, Arenal, Monteverde, Guanacaste. This trip would feature a few nights near San Jose, 6 to 7 nights in or near the Osa, and the final night near SJO. The Osa choices at this moment are Drake Bay and Cabo Matapalo, with La Palomo / Aguila de Osa and Bosque Del Cabo / Lapa Rios / El Remanso the hotel options (this is a special trip celebrating several occasions). Several questions:
- what are the transportation options between Drake Bay and Puerto Jiminez during this time of year? Is this an all-day journey if going by car at the start of the rains?
- Is it doable to do a 3 night Drake / 3 night CM trip during the start of the rainy season?
- Is it worth going to Drake Bay at this time of year? The primary reason for going to Drake Bay would be a the trip to Cano Island, river floating, etc. - more water oriented. Understood this is not whale season and do not expect crystal clear snorkeling.
- My rough understanding of the average weather in the Osa area is sunny mornings and early afternoons with a few hours of late day showers or thunderstorms - about 10 inches of rain in May and about 20 inches in June. This does not seem bad at all and would pretty much match our experience in Tortuguero when we were there in June several years ago.
We are in our late fifties but are in good health and somewhat active. The main goal of the trip is to do a variety of interesting, low to moderately strenuous activities and to see as much wildlife as possible with a particular focus (for me) on reptiles and amphibians. Arthropods of all sorts are always welcome too. Yes to kayaking, snorkeling, 1 to 4 hour day and night hikes, river floating or light rafting, photography, relaxing, reading. No to diving, surfing, rappeling, ziplines (done that), 6+hour hikes, etc. Not looking for a suntan. High quality "soft" accommodations - no tv or ac or traffic noise, could care less about internet or phone, but comfortable with good food. Given this, we are also also considering the Piedras Blancas area near Golfito, with either the Playa Nicuesa Rainforest Lodge or Equinas Lodge as possible hotel options. Each of these offer direct access into the park, whereas the options for getting into Corcovado on generally involve much more time and effort just to access that park.
- How does Piedras Blancas compare to Corcovado? It seems much less visited but easier to access if staying at the right place.
- How do the lodges mentioned above compare to places like Bosque Del Cabo and El Remanso in Cabo Matapalo or La Paloma and Aguila de Osa in Drake Bay?
- Given the choice of May or June and given the trip interests mentioned above, which month might be better? Right now, the likely timing is May 14 to 25 . Is mid to late May too early in the rainy season for good herping (looking for reptiles and amphibians)? Are the snorkeling conditions around Cano Island OK at that time?
Any suggestions as to other "must do" activities if in the area. Corcovado might be great but my understanding is that an overnight or longer experience is really the best way to do the park and that the wildlife in the Cabo Matapalo area is almost as good.
Thanks in advance!

Can't speak to all your questions, but for a special trip I favor Bosque del Cabo. Several snakes, including the Terciopelo. Guides there to help you find them and frogs. Comfortable, no TV, good food, quiet. Five nights there is not too much. We first spent time in the bungalow at Cabinas Jimenez in town, to do the activities near town and the Golfo Dulce boat tour. Oh yes, a pond with caimin in town. And Cabinas Jimenez has kayaks so you can explore the mangroves without taking a tour.

We really loved Bosque del Cabo too. Phillip is a great guide to go with. There was a trip report from a herpitologist (sp?) a while back that might give you some nice details.

I just topped a thread for you called Back from Bosque del Cabo if you want to explore it for herp. info.

We just returned from Bosque del Cabo...end of June. While there, we did a sunset hike with Phillip, their naturalist, who was extremely knowledgable. This one hour hike was focused primarily on reptiles and amphibians. Phillip did say that there a lot to see on this tour during rainy season, but I don't know how far into rainy season it needs to be. While at BDC, we saw all 4 types of monkeys, a peccary, scarlet macaws, lots of other birds, bats, an eyelash pit viper, several types of frogs, sloth, mama agouti and her baby. Based on your interests, I think BDC would be an excellent place to stay. Check out my recent trip report. We ended up doing a lot of activities at BDC because we have adventure seeking teenagers, but it would be a great fit for your criteria. If you go, do the horseback ride with Miguel. My husband and I stayed at La Paloma Lodge about 8-9 years ago. There was not nearly as much wildlife there as at BDC. But I think that would also be a good place to stay. The trip to Cano Island was fun, because we saw lots of dolphins on the trip. Snorkeling was OK, not great. Find out if they are still doing the bug lady tour at La Paloma...that was an extremely interesting night hike featuring all kinds of bugs, spiders, and snakes. I believe La Paloma also does a day trip to Corcovado as part of their package. This was an excellent tour also.

One more thought...if you want some relaxation time near the water, you also might like Iguana Lodge, about 10 minutes outside of Puerto Jimenez. You could do Golfo Dulce activities from there. Again, check out my recent trip report on BDC and Iguana Lodge.
Report Abuse
I did a split of Iguana Lodge/Bosque del Cabo early-mid May a few years ago and only had rain in the evening. I then went to BdC in late June and had one all-day torrential downpour, some rain in the evenings, but every year can be a bit different. I've been poured on at Arenal in dry season.
I think BdC offers most of what you are looking for in terms of wildlife and activities. The trails range from easy to difficult and wildlife is abundant both on the trails and just along the driveway and grounds.
I've only flown in/out of Drake Bay on the way to PJ, so can't comment on how long it would take to drive, but I wouldn't expect it to take all day.

The single, eponymous track on this release begins with some very dark, spooky ambience which is minimally assisted by some percussion and keyboard, and when I say minimal I mean very, very minimal. The keyboards can often hardly be heard behind the pulsating ambience at the front of the track, and when the percussion appears it's often only a single hit. After about 4 minutes of introduction, the percussion actually strikes ups a rhythmic beat (though it's still very far back in the mix) and other sounds begin to find their way to the forefront as well: there's a decent amount of input from what sounds like wind-chimes and some minimal sounds from what sounds like some sort of synthesizer. The droning ambience which has been part of the track from the very beginning changes subtly as well, becoming less atmospheric and spooky and taking on a more distorted, industrial edge. Nonetheless, it's astounding how atmospheric this track manages to be when probably 80% of the sound is just a static drone: there's always some kind of tonal sound happening in the background, and that makes for a fascinating, delicate aesthetic. About halfway through the drone fades back a little bit and the track takes on a more straightforward ambient texture, with very faint percussion and synths creating a nice change of pace from the more droning first half. Though the rather dissonant windchimes still appear pretty prominently, this definitely isn't unpleasant music to listen to; even as the static drone slowly makes its way back into the track it simply gives the impression of a building intensity, a sort of indirect way of controlling the feel of the track even with such minimal arrangement. In fact, the drone is such a big part of the track that when it finally drops away to nothing the track feels incredibly empty, and it imbues the final minutes of the track with an incredible sense of finality and really helps to highlight (by its absence) the keyboard and synth sounds at the end of the track.
So though this is extremely minimal in nature, there is something very compelling (to me, at least) about this kind of music. Obviously not everyone will enjoy this, and there are those who would probably even question if this counts as music. Nonetheless, as an amateur tinkerer in this kind of music I have an immense amount of respect for anyone who can make it as well as Lydhode does here, and keep it as interesting as they do for a full half hour. I imagine fans of this kind of minimalism will find this album an interesting listen, even if it's not a necessary addition to a prog collection.

If you're into dark ambient with both experimental and organic twists then this free album is definitely one to check out. It's a bit long (about an hour and a half) but the time just flies by with this album.

It's been a while since I've heard some truly captivating field recording based electronic music, and this really quenches my thirst for such an album. This whole album is much like an improved and more interesting version of Bass Communion's "Ghosts" album, so anyone a fan of that album should take notice of Lydhode's Marslydhode.

The best hand cream I've ever tried! It's a little bit expensive but these tubes lasts long even though it looks small. my favourite is shea butter but they are all great.
I am in absolute awe with this product. It smells wonderful and works great. I feel safe using it cause its made in France.
I love this hand creme. It feels amazing. It's very hydrating. It almost makes your hands feel like silk. I wish it wasn't so expensive.
All the Shea butter products from L`Occitane are wonderful and super moisturizing. Recommend for dry skins!
I love these little mini shea butter hand creams. I keep one in my purse, on the nightstand and in the vehicle. I've given so many as gifts. Everyone loves them. So hydrating.
One of the better hand moisturizing creams that leaves your hands feeling silky smooth and none greasy. It really works especially during the harsh, cold winter. It's pricey but worth it.

The manager is upbeat on his side's current form, and his confident that the club can overcome their recent results once he has settled on his first choice defensive line up
The west London club spent big in the summer as they attempted to avoid the relegation dogfight they found themselves in last season, bringing in 11 new players and go into the clash against London rivals West Ham at Loftus Road still without a win in the Premier League so far this season.
However, while Hughes admits that it has hardly been the ideal start, he is confident that once his first-choice back four are able to put a consistent run of games together, results will begin to turn.
"Obviously we need to see games out. We have selection problems at the moment in a key area of the field in defence," Hughes told reporters.
"We have had too much of a turnover in terms of selection and personnel changes so that doesn't lend well to having that continuity of performance.
"We've created some decent football in the initial period but it was always going to take time. We are not going to hide behind the fact it is not the best of starts and the start that we wanted."
Hughes was disappointed to see his side crash out of the League Cup at home to Reading in mid-week despite having led twice, and will be looking for an improved performance against fellow Premier League new-boys West Ham under the Loftus Road lights.
"We wanted to progress in the cup competition and a number of clubs went out and we didn't want to be one of them. Unfortunately we were not in the hat, which was our intention."

How Do I Do Well on the High School Science Gateway? Spring 2007
Getting Started Making the Right Choice: One of the most important keys to your success is choosing the Writing Task Choice that will be the best one to let the graders know what you know. As you start the test, make sure you read both choices and the documents then do the following things.
Making the right choice.. Think of how you would respond to each task. (Choice 1 or Choice 2) On the pages in the back of the task folder, jot down what you know about each task from the scenario, documents and from your classes. (Brainstorming) For which choice do you have the most information and facts? Then think, "For which choice do I already have the better answer forming in my head?" Choose that choice.
As you begin, read the choice again. Create a brainstorm list of how you will respond to each part of the task. For example, if you were writing about plants- your list would look something like this: Photosynthesis, cell wall, chloroplasts, green, large vacuoles, oxygen, CO2, water, enzymes, cell membrane, leaves, root, stem, seed
When taking the Gateway, summarize what you know and need to include from the documents. Then make a list of things you know about the task and use your list to make an outline, Venn diagram, chart or other graphic organizer to help you plan how you will write your response. Include the information you will use from the documents. Write a rough draft of your response. Strategy
Strategy, cont. See if you can improve the response by using the Science and Writing Checklist. Rewrite the rough draft neatly into your response folder. Make sure you leave enough time to complete copying your draft. Use documentation and reference any pictures, diagrams or tables you included.
Strategy, cont. You SHOULD attempt to write a multi-paragraph essay complete with INTRODUCTION, BODY, and CONCLUSION. You SHOULD NOT copy straight from the packet. For example- do NOT write an entire essay saying : Document A says…..Document B states…Document C states….. and so on. Do not copy the scenario as your introduction.
You will be graded in science and language arts. This section will help you to better understand the science aspects.
The scenario gives you background information to build your thesis This part is the basis for your thesis Each of these bullets should be included as a supporting idea in your essay. Scenario: You are an ecologist studying an ecosystem that consists of a stream surrounded by woods. The following organisms can be found in this ecosystem: mice, rabbits, birds, snakes, bears, large fish, small fish, otters, bacteria, algae, grass, and seed producing plants. Three months ago, a manufacturing plant opened about 2 miles upstream. The plant has been dumping waste water into the stream that contains a high concentration of acetic acid. Over the last month, you have been noticing a decline in the number of fish in the stream; you have also noticed that the grass growing along the side of the stream is starting to become yellow. Your job is to write an essay that discusses the environmental impact of the manufacturing plant's waste on this ecosystem. In your essay, make sure you include the following. Discuss the importance producers to this ecosystem; give an example of a producer. Discuss the importance decomposers to this ecosystem; give an example of a producer. If grass, algae, and seed producing trees are eliminated from this ecosystem due to the acidity of the water, how will this affect other animals in the ecosystem? SAMPLE WRITING Task Ecosystems and Food Webs
Main Idea Reason or supporting idea Fact or Example Brainstorming/Thesis Building Process Fact or Example
The science rubric consists of THREE categories: Communication of Scientific Facts, Concepts and Principles (1-6) (Counts 40% of total score) Knowledge and Use of Science (1-6) (Counts 40% of total score) Use of Scientific Processes (1-6) (Counts 20% of total score)
COMMUNICATION— Papers with the following scores, usually have these characteristics. 6- Exceptional Fully explained and developed 5- Very Good Correct, but could use more detail 4- Target Average Most of the response is correct 3- Low Average Some of the response correct, needs more detail 2- Below Average Some of the documents copied, too brief, or assumptions (ideas) are wrong 1- Poor Not doing what the task asks or not understandable
For Communication, you should answer ALL parts of the question. That means that if there are three bullet points then you must answer all three points with supporting evidence. stay on topic or FOCUSED- for example- if the topic is cell structure in plants do not talk about human body systems. Be sure you can link your example to the topic. organize the knowledge so it helps the grader understand that you know about science develop the essay- how?- with details and evidence (in other words support or back up what you say) pay attention to words in the task such as defend, describe, explain, discuss use diagrams, graphics, tables and formulas correctly, as needed. explain your reasoning for any statements you make.
KNOWLEDGE AND USE OF SCIENCE— Papers with the following scores, usually have these characteristics. 6- ExceptionalUses extensive prior knowledge and documents correctly 5- Very GoodUses correct prior knowledge and documents correctly 4- Target Average Prior knowledge and documents are used correctly, but not often 3- Low AverageLimited prior knowledge and documents used correctly 2- Below AverageLittle prior knowledge and documents used or used inaccurately 1- PoorNo scientific knowledge evident and documents copied or not used.
For Knowledge, you should use facts that are ACCURATE and RELEVANT use the DOCUMENTS provided (but do NOT only use the documents) and cite your sources – for example if you pull something from the first document, you might cite it like this---- In Document A …, or Green states that the fish are colorful and vicious at the same time (Doc A).
Knowledge, cont. include PRIOR KNOWLEDGE- Information that is not given to you in the documents, but that you know. Give facts, ideas, etc. that you learned in class or from other sources. connect the information to what you already know use science vocabulary (that means words that are particular to the topic and science and give the definition of the word you are using in the context of the essay) make assumptions that are necessary – but make sure you explain why they are appropriate. Create diagrams if necessary to explain a concept or your thoughts. Reference the drawing.
USE OF SCIENTIFIC PROCESSES--- Papers with the following scores, usually have these characteristics. 6- Exceptional Extensive use of scientific connections and transitions among ideas 5- Very GoodWell-written and appropriate procedures and connections 4- Target Average Correct and coherent connections 3- Low AverageSome transitions between scientific ideas 2- Below AverageAttempts to connect ideas 1- PoorScientific ideas do not flow together or make sense
Scientific Processes (Do you understand how to solve problems as a scientist would?) You should: show them that you really know what you are talking about and can use the scientific method. This can be demonstrated by if/then or cause/effect thinking. use the information you have and apply it to the topic) and draw some valid conclusions (show some connections between the data provided, scientific terms and concepts you mention in your essay) write a step by step procedure when required or it helps answer the question, clearly describe and justify any procedures or solutions you propose
Language Arts Features: Focus and Development- Focus and Development is closely tied to communication in the science rubric and is rated on your ability to answer the Gateway task. Making sure you address each part of the question and the bullets will help you to score well in this area. Organization- Your paper must have a plan and flow from one paragraph to the next. You must always have an introduction and conclusion paragraph. The opening paragraph should let your rater know what your paper is going to be about (thesis statement). The concluding paragraph should put it all together and summarize your essay. Often it is appropriate to use information from the scenario in the opening and concluding paragraph. The Gateway does not have to be in a five paragraph essay format. As a general rule, each part of the essay can be answered as an independent paragraph.
Language Arts Features Fluency- In the fluency feature, you are rated on your ability to write well. Your papers should use interesting and sophisticated words outside your scientific vocabulary. The words should flow into sentences and your sentences into meaningful paragraphs. Errors should not slow the reader down or force them to wonder what your meant by your sentence. A good way to do this is to use a variety of words and sentences- some short, some long, some simple, some compound and some complex. In fluency it is better to try misspell a more complex word than to only use short, simple ones. Conventions- Grammar, usage, mechanics and spelling make up the conventions feature. Did you write in complete sentences, use proper punctuation, spell correctly, make sure your subjects and verbs agree, and use paragraph breaks? You should have a capital letter at the beginning of the sentence and correct punctuation at the end. Run on sentences and sentence fragments should not exist.
Language Arts- What should I do? Do some brainstorming to get your ideas together before you start your essay. Write a first draft, make revisions, and then write your final draft as neatly as possible. (you do not have to double space) Try to find a creative way to open your essay. Quotes, questions, shocking statements, and interesting facts are always good options. (organization) Make smooth transitions between paragraphs. (organization) Examples include: next, therefore, however, thus
Language Arts: What should I do? Provide a good conclusion that sums up your paper and leaves your reader with something to think about. If they ask you to write a letter, use a letter format with a date, salutation, and farewell. (conventions) Use interesting, precise vocabulary. Stay away from generic words, phrases (such as "something," "stuff," etc.), abbreviations, and slang. It is better to misspell a high-level vocabulary word than to use a word that is too simple or general. (fluency). Mix up your sentences. Include long and short sentences; compound, complex, compound-complex, and simple sentences. Your sentence structure should not be choppy or repetitive. (fluency)
Language Arts: What should I do? After you write your first draft, read it over and edit for spelling, grammar, etc. (conventions) If you make a mistake, cross it out and continue writing. Be sure you have cited the documents you used. The graders will be looking for at least one parenthetical citation. (conventions).
You need to be: Knowledgeable Confident Competent And you will do well!

Father Ignatius Makes A Discovery
There are times when a light turns on in your head and you see something clearly for the first time and you understand something new you'd never realized before.
Father Ignatius was a studious type of person spending many hours reading the Bible as well as many books on theology, ancient history and similar subjects which would soon send any lesser head spinning wildly.
One evening he retired to the room he called "my meditation corner" and after reciting the Rosary he started reading the Bible and cross-referencing certain passages with other books to better understand what God is teaching through His Word.
One passage in particular caught his interest. After Christ's death and burial, we are told that Mary Magdalene visited the tomb and found the stone rolled away from the entrance. She ran to Simon Peter and the other disciple and told them what she had seen. Peter and the other disciple ran to the tomb. When Simon Peter got in and went inside he noticed the linen wrappings lying there, but the cloth that had covered Jesus' head was folded and lying to the side.
There it was, in the Gospel of John Chapter 20 Verse 7.
Father Ignatius puzzled about this for a moment or two. He'd read that chapter many times and nothing specific occurred to him. But this time, as if a small voice buzzing in his head, he kept wondering the significance of what he had read.
"Why are we told that the cloth which covered Jesus' head was folded and lying to the side? What's so important about that?" Father Ignatius asked himself.
Yet somehow, John thought it important enough to mention it. Why?
Father Ignatius checked the other three Gospels but they did not mention this fact. "But why did John consider it so significant to point it out" he wondered silently.
After hours of searching other books and checking on ancient traditions he came upon something he'd never known before.
In ancient Hebrew tradition the folded napkin was symbolic between the master of the house and his servant.
When the servant set the dinner table he made sure that everything was perfectly set out as the master wished and then he would wait out of sight until the master finished eating.
The servant would not clear the table until the master had finished.
When the master finished his meal he would wipe his fingers and mouth with the napkin and then toss the napkin on the table.
The servant would then clear the table, because in those days a tossed napkin meant "I've finished."
However … and this is the significant bit which Father Ignatius discovered for himself, if the master left the table but neatly folded the napkin and laid it beside his plate, the servant would not touch the table.
Because the folded napkin meant "I'm coming back!"
"He's coming back …" mumbled Father Ignatius in wonderment.
That's what John was trying to tell us in his Gospel.

Hi Victor! What an interesting take on the cloth that was separate. I have often wondered why that was important myself. Was it just careful reporting, or did it mean something deeper?
That Fr. Ignatius...he really shone some light here! (wink!)
Easter blessings,
CeilYes, yes, yes, He is coming back and I expect before I go to bed tonight, or in the morning or in the evening, anytime. Great reminders of this truth.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, what a revelation! This blesses me more than you know. Thank you for nourishing my faith even more today, with such an incredibly powerful insight. Wow. Sharing!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Viktor. It is great too that we have people that ask questions so we can be enlightened by new Information.
ReplyDeleteVictor, thank you for sharing. There is so much in the Bible that we miss because we are not aware of the culture and symbolism from Jesus' time.
I've also heard another explanation for why John mentions the folded cloth. Many at the time were saying that people "stole" Jesus' body. Mentioning the folded cloth is important because if you were in a rush to steal a body, you certainly wouldn't take the time to fold up a cloth.
God Bless you.Lord Jesus thank you for letting us know the meaning of your majesty's banquet with your saints for now you call your servants friends, since you have giving us your precious body and blood as heavenly food because your body is real bread and your blood is wine as Melquizedec gave to Your servant Abraham bread and wine after Abraham conquered his enemies; Your Father who lives in You have conquered your enemies and you have invited your servants as friends to your table and we your servants steadfast are waiting for your coming in glory in unity with your Holy Spirit. Amen.

Hinrich scored 26 points and Chris Duhon - who made 7-of-8
shots, including three 3-pointers - added 20 off the bench in 16
minutes as the Bulls routed the defending champion Miami Heat,
108-66, on Tuesday.
Chicago spoiled Miami's ring ceremony and raising of the
championship banner by outscoring the Heat, 37-14, in the second
quarter, ultimately seizing control of the contest from
Luol Deng added 12 points and Andres Nocioni and Ben Wallace
both pulled down 11 rebounds for the Bulls, who held the Heat to
39 percent (25-of-65) shooting and forced them into 21
Rookie Tyrus Thomas had four points, five rebounds and two
blocks in his NBA debut for Chicago, which dominated the boards,
The Bulls have won five straight here over the Magic, who are
11-6 all-time in home openers.
During the offseason, Orlando added to its already proficient
3-point shooting percentage (37.6) and third overall field-goal
percentage (47.2) by selecting Naismith College Player of the
Year J.J. Redick with the 11th pick in the draft.
Dwight Howard, who led the team in both points (15.8) and
rebounds (12.5) last season, Jameer Nelson and the still
improving Darko Milicic will attempt to help the Magic get off
to a strong start at TD Waterhouse this campaign. Orlando went
12-1 here down the stretch last year.
The young frontcourt of Howard and Milicic will have quite a
test before them with veterans P.J. Brown and Wallace roaming
the lane.
Chicago won last year's season series, 3-1, and has come away
victorious in nine of the last 11 regular-season meetings.

Erwin Schr—dinger
Schr—dinger's most important contribution to the understanding of the atom was his development of an elegant and rigorous mathematical description of the discrete standing waves that electrons must follow in their orbits around atomic nuclei. Schr—dinger proved that his theory, published in 1926, was mathematically equivalent to the theories of matrix mechanics advanced the previous year by the German physicist Werner Heisenberg. Together, their theories formed much of the foundation of quantum mechanics. Schr—dinger shared the 1933 Nobel Prize in physics with the British physicist Paul A. M. Dirac for his contribution to the development of quantum mechanics. His research included important work on atomic spectra, statistical thermodynamics, and wave mechanics.

Sometimes i wish i could share all my experiences, but then i realise i might as well let others discover the city themselves. And im lazy to write too 🙂

Is liver problem back???

So today Taz woke up seeming to feel better. He was more alert, assuming that was due to all the meds they gave him.
What meds did they give him? I am glad to hear he feels better but once those meds wear off he may not b/c I am leary that the vet is not treating him for the right problem.
My son stopped at some specialty pet store and they gave him some canned food and a supplement to sprinkle on it to possibly help him go to the bathroom.
Did the vet not recommend something for you to use to help your kitty pass a stool? I would think with all the poop filled up in his colon either the vet would want to give an enema or atleast give you something to help get all that poop out of the colon. It is not very good for poop to be sitting in the colon for very long. And some meds can constipate a cat even further. Depending on what meds the vet gave you.
What was the supplement your son picked up at the pet shop?
but has not used the cat box today at all.
This concerns me.....when was the last time he passed a normal stool?
I gave him the IV fluids, hard for me to get that needle in him.
Not sure what size needles your vet gave you to use to give the sub q fluids but there are needles that are much easier to use I found out when I was giving sub q fluids. They are called Terumo 20Gx1" U.T.W. (ultra thin wall needles). I bought 100 of them at a local medical supply shop for like $5.
PHP Code:
How did the vet treat his liver
He had meds
What meds?
he has been eating Go! natural dry food
Something in this food may be causing the gas?? His stomach may not agree with one or more ingredients in it? Cats have sensitive stomachs.
He seems to be constipated today, his stool for the past few days had been a light tan color.
The last couple of days when he did pass a stool was there a fair amount? Were the stools soft or hard. Small (pellet like)?
Not passing normal stools. Vet did not say colon looked enlarged, just said it was very full.
Again, I am surprised the vet did not want to give an enema to clear him out or give you something to take home to adminster to help your cat pass these stools quickly.
The vet did mention an ultrasound but said due to there being so much gas it would be hard to see a tumor or foreign object. She did say the string, if he swallowed it could be tangled and cutting through his bowel.
My cat had gas before they took the ultrasound. We were also concerned that he had some foreign object in his tummy, But the ultrasound confirmed what we were seeing was not an object but a severely inflammed stomach. So, it may not be lots of gas your vet is seeing in the xray???
They told me every time they touched his stomach he writhed in pain and would cry. I have seen nothing like that since bringing him home. He has not vomited, he is eating and getting fluids/ I have picked him up and pressed on his tummy and he did not seem bothered by it. He also started purring again this morning. I'm not sure what to think.
Cats do hide pain well. With that being said your cat is now in his own environment and has been taking meds? which may be helping with the pain (from the said be "string" or gas/poop build up)
I know money is a concern but I would definately be going to get a second opinion. You can get your files and xray sent over to the new vet free of charge. And then the new vet can evaluate the situation with a new set of eyes.

Atomic Pic of the Day!
Ha! Don't you just love going through the old family albums? There's so much that's good blackmail material in there! This goodie is of Brother Dear back around the mid 50's, when a boy would never be caught without at least one trusty cap gun.
Speaking of guns, Junior was kept after school today because he had done a big No-no. What did he do? He was playing with his buddies during recess and was caught using his hand for a make-believe pistol on school property. My, how far today's society has progressed in the age of correctness :P
Needless to say, Junior was very upset by the whole ordeal and had a hard time grasping the reasoning behind the bullying he received from the school system. I gave him some honest advice: when in school, as anyplace else, you have to follow their rules. No need to go into their logic why, because it simply doesn't apply to him or 99.9% of all boys. As far as I'm concerned, a boy is after all a boy, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. I wish Society could act mature enough to accept this.

Samurai Jack Intro - Remake Latino
Samurai Jack Opening remake by latin animators
4.40 / 5.00 6,403 ViewsYeah.. my third and final attempt to make a B&B flash, altough this one is a whole diffrent direction then the other 2 loyal ones.. so yeah.. and i will make fun of those dragonball z style movies.. i hate em X__X
Also, graphics and sound are tuned down, for better quality, here is the DA version:
That was awesome, having them duke it out DBZ style and shit, big fan of a lot of yer flashes, and this one is the best of them that I've seen.
Never thought i would like this,but...
...dude,this really rox!
never thought somebody would say that, so thanks ^^
NOT BAD DRAWINGS OF B&B do you think eh
are you go do make more beavis and butthead films or not and stuff
Chips and and Offer....
Well done. Couldn't have picked a better song for the fight scene. Also, i'm a voice actor (shameless self plug.) so if you ever need any assistance....get ahold of me.
ah great, you can send voice samples or so to firstname.lastname@example.com if you want, am always open for voice actors, altough i think i gotta become a little more strict for deadlines, seeing most of my movies are delayed for 3 to 4 months by them.. yeah...
Thanks for the review!
Some flukes, but that was cool, uh hu huh...
I knew I would like the movie even by the preloader "If you sound more like Beavisand Butt-head, congratulations, your mum should be proud at you".
The characters were pretty much like the original ones. Beavis and Butt-head are the kind of people that is fun to watch, but you'll hate them if you knew them.
The voice acting wasn't the best, but, what does it matter when this movie makes you laugh out loud? That's the point on this!
okay, glad you got the point of the movie then ^^

While the next election is still about four months away, the ballots for that election will take shape in a couple of weeks. The filing period for candidates in the April 4 consolidated election is Dec. 12-19, and there will be a lot of local positions filled at that election. In Vandalia, residents will elect a mayor and city clerk, and fill five spots on the Vandalia City Council. Rick Gottman has announced that he will seek to become the first five-term mayor, and Peggy Bowen will be running for a sixth term as city clerk.
A Vandalia man charged with child pornography has had his second request for reduction of his bond amount denied.
Nineteen large turkeys and 18 large cans of green beans and corn, along with a whole lot of mashed potatoes, rolls and cranberry sauce – enough to feed almost 500 people … barely.

✔ CenterPointe Church, located at 1616 Veterans Ave. in Vandalia, is holding free Weekly Fit Club sessions at 6 p.m. every Thursday. ✔ TOPS IL 1872, Ramsey, will meet at the Christian Church in Ramsey. Weigh-in is at 6:20 p.m. and the meeting is at 7 p.m.

A Brownstown man arrested on multiple methamphetamine charges in January this year has agreed to a prison sentence on one of those charges.
The Vandalia School District's financial picture for the year looks good at this time, given the fact that it has been receiving much of the funds due to them. That will change as the school year progresses, even more dramatically so if it doesn't receive other monies it is owed. "As is tradition with this time of the school year, our fund balances are healthy, based on the fact that we have received all of our (local) property tax monies," Superintendent of Schools Rich Well told the Vandalia Board of Education last week.
Enough is enough. In essence, that was the message sent – in two ways – by Vandalia officials on Monday night. In a meeting that lasted only about 20 minutes, the Vandalia City Council rejected a proposed increase in the number of city liquor licenses that allow for gaming machines. In fact, it rejected the proposal by not even voting on it.
