Judyrae Kruse is taking some well-earned time off. Here is an encore column from March 2006.
Well, we all love a challenge, but going gluten free is really a heck of a major hurdle.
And, while there are recipes for this, that and the other floating around out there somewhere, gaps still exist.
One of those is a huge void in the bread category, one that our gluten-free gals can use for sandwiches.
Maybe this recipe sent along by the McCabes of Everett will do the trick. They found it online.
The no-name-given-contributor has found it works well in certain bread machines and says, "The bread is a little heavier than the bread I remember from my pre-coeliac'" days, but it's easy to make, and one good thing is that I know exactly what goes into it.
"Try toasting it, adding slices of tasty cheese and thin slices of tomato, and pop under the griller until the cheese is lightly brown. Yum!
Or smother a toasted slice lavishly with very ripe, mashed avocado and sprinkle with herb salt.
Or smother the toast with sardines and slices of tasty cheese and pop under the griller until the cheese is bubbling and light brown.
"This bread does not keep well. I find it best to remove it from the breadmaker as soon as it is cooked, allow it to cool completely on a rack, slice it and freeze it.
"This recipe is adapted slightly from one by America's Red Star Yeast Co. If you live in the United States, you're lucky — the company has a toll-free number, 800-423-5422 (800-4-CELIAC), providing recipes and tips."
Give Red Star a call, and then you can try:
Easy gluten-free rice bread
1 1/2 teaspoons dried yeast
2 1/4 cups white rice flour
1 cup brown rice flour
2 1/2 teaspoons xanthan gum
1 teaspoon unflavored gelatin
3 tablespoons very fine sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 tablespoon egg replacer
1/2 cup milk powder (or 1 cup instant milk powder)
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon cider vinegar
3 tablespoons macadamia oil (or your choice of oil)
1 1/2 cups plus 2 tablespoons water
If using a Palsonic breadmaking machine or a Wellbuilt 4100T, put yeast in breadmaker. Mix together the flour, xanthan gum, gelatin, sugar, salt, egg replacer and milk powder and add.
Mix the wet ingredients and add on top.
If using other brand of breadmaker, add ingredients to pan according to manufacturer's directions.
The next Forum will appear in Wednesday's Good Life section.

text: About a year ago, I wrote about a former personal assistant for Lady GaGa who had sued the singer for almost $400K because of 7,000 hours of unpaid overtime. Well, Lady GaGa finally gave her deposition in the case and it must have been amazing. First, according to the NY Post, she called the woman suing her a f**king hoodrat. Nice. Then, she said that she pays none of her employees overtime and that everyone knows that and they should never expect any. Finally, she had this to say, "She's just — she thinks she's just like the queen of the universe. And, you know what, she didn't want to be a slave to one, because in my work and what I do, I'm the queen of the universe every day." So, basically, yes, what she did was call herself queen of the universe and her employees slaves to the queen. Nice. I'm guessing GaGa does not get many Happy Bosses Day cards.

The Metro Nashville school district has taken aim at the state's level of education funding, arguing that Davidson County has been shorted millions of dollars and setting the stage for what could be a broad-based assault on state funding levels by districts all over the state.
The Metro school board voted unanimously Tuesday to ask Gov. Bill Haslam and the Tennessee General Assembly to "adequately fund public education" in a way that would allow local districts to meet rigorous new academic standards.
At issue is the state's funding education funding law known as the Basic Education Program, or BEP, which the Metro board claims hasn't been fully funded since it was overhauled six years ago under then-Gov. Phil Bredesen.
"It's a shared responsibility to educate our students," school board member Amy Frogge said. "We have a state legislature that has passed a law, and there's no compliance with the funding aspect of that."
The resolution cites a November report from the BEP's Review Committee that found Metro would need an additional $12.7 million on top of the $253.4 million it got this year from the state to become fully funded under the program. Statewide, that gap is $146 million, the report says. School officials claim an additional $74.6 million was required for Nashville this year to meet the committee's funding recommendations, which include adequate teacher salaries.
Metro's resolution also references a May report from the U.S. Census Bureau that found Tennessee, at $8,765, is 49th in per-pupil public school funding. That report, the most recent compiled by the bureau, is based on 2011 data and includes state, local and federal resources.
Frogge, who sponsored the resolution, said she would be showing it to the school boards of Memphis-Shelby County, Knoxville and Chattanooga. Together, they form a lobbying arm at Capitol Hill on behalf of the state's four largest school systems.
Charter rift cited
Board colleague Elissa Kim questioned the wisdom and focus of digging deeper into an ongoing rift with the state — one that grew out of the board's disapproval of a charter school proposal a year ago.
"Having tussled with the state like we have in the past, this strikes me not necessarily as the highest-value thing we could do," Kim said, though she ultimately supported the resolution.
Tennessee has a constitutional obligation to provide free K-12 public education, which it does through the BEP. The program uses demographics, enrollment and other data to determine a local district's allocations.
Metro officials have long criticized the equity of the BEP funding formula. Major changes were made in the early 1990s to help rural districts, but the formula today allocates fewer dollars to districts such as Metro Nashville that have the capacity to generate more local tax revenue.
At $3,103 per student, Metro ranks fourth to last among districts in the amount it gets per pupil from the state. Its local share accounts for two-thirds of its education dollars.
An attorney for Metro Nashville Public Schools in September advised the board to explore whether the BEP is equitable for large school systems such as Nashville. But instead of directing its resolution at the equity of that system, the resolution approved Tuesday questions the adequacy of education funding statewide.
'No one … formula'
Kelli Gauthier, spokeswoman for the Tennessee Department of Education, did not directly address the adequacy issue when asked for a comment Tuesday, instead focusing on equity.
"With regard to the equity of BEP, there is no one funding formula that will satisfy all districts," she said in a statement. "The reality is that there is a finite amount of money for education in Tennessee, and amending the formula will not change that."
Haslam has called funding for schools a top priority. During 2014-15 budget hearings last month, state Education Commissioner Kevin Huffman presented a plan that called for a $57 million increase in education funding. The governor also has unveiled a new goal of making Tennessee the fastest-improving state in teacher salaries.
Other states have seen clashes over school funding turn to litigation. In Kansas, for example, the state Supreme Court is reviewing a suit waged originally by 63 local districts claiming they should be funded at a higher level.
"It's way too early to talk about going to court," Metro school board member Will Pinkston said. "The first step is to surface concerns — do it collectively with the large districts — and see if the state is willing to listen and have a conversation. But if all else fails, you reserve the right to pursue legal remedies, but that would be way down the road."

If you are traveling to certain parts of the world, you will likely need to get certain vaccines before you go.
Depending on where you are going, these immunizations may include some special vaccines that are different from the routine immunizations recommended for children and adults. These special immunizations may include vaccines for typhoid, yellow fever, rabies, or Japanese encephalitis.
The CDC has a list of overseas destinations and the vaccines that you will need before traveling there, as well as other helpful health information for travelers.
If you need to get special immunizations for travel, you should also make sure that you are up-to-date for all of the routinely recommended vaccines too.
Not all doctors have all of the vaccines that may be needed for travel, but there are some clinics in Philadelphia that offer special travel vaccines. Make sure you ask before you go if the clinic has the vaccines you will need.

Bronson outplayed Hilliard in the fourth quarter of the teams' game on Oct. 19, outscoring the Flashes 8-6 and making two trips inside the red zone.
The first three quarters didn't go as well.
Hilliard (6-2) ran over Bronson (1-6), literally and figuratively in a 54-8, mercy-rule shortened game. The Flashes scored on every one of their possessions in the first half, picking up over 400 yards of offense in the process.

It's been ages since I used my manly palette so I thought it was about time to dust the old pal off! I do adore the pigment in all the eyeshadows but I really dislike how strong scented they all are.
In fact I really hate it and every time I open it to use the palette I'm getting reminded why I don't use it more often. The terrible terrible whiff of perfume that just pops out, or odor would be a more appropriate word for it! But the colours are just amazing so I guess I just need to learn how to hold my breath longer!!

Hopefully the piece you ate was the piece without any mold.orDid it taste like blue cheese?
When baking cookies, it is wise to use a pot holder to move the pan of cookies that you just took out and set down only long enough to move another pan that was in the way of where you wanted to put the first pan to begin with. When you grab a pan that has only been out of the oven for 30 seconds with your bare hands, it HURTS.
I once locked my car keys in the trunk after I tossed them in there without thinking as I was getting something out of there. I had an "Oh crap" moment as I realized just as the trunk slammed shut what I had done. I had to call someone for the spare set.
This morning I took a walk to the thrift store to bring some donations in a bag. Once I was back at my front door, I realized I no longer had my house keys. I went back to the store and found out that - pretty much as I suspected - I had absent-mindedly tossed my keys in the donation bag. Good thing the volunteers at the store know me well and allowed me to rummage in the bag.
We have a sliding glass patio door that was getting squeaky and hard to push.No problem. Just clean off the track and put a little bit of oil down, right?So I went to the garage and got my handy-dandy can of WD40, sprayed it on the track . . .THEN! I stood there with my handy-dandy little hand-held whisk broom and thought . . . If I use the whisk broom now, it will be covered in oil and I won't be able to use for anything else. . . . I just did this backwards, didn't I. Sigh.

For the last two years about this time, Jack Selzer, NAEDA's Tax Attorney has provided the basic tax depreciation/expense rules that can help sales people in making new and used equipment sales before year end. Because of some changes, it is timely to revisit these rules.
There are two provisions we need to look at --
Section 179 expense deduction for new and used equipment. The Section 179 deduction for 2013 is $500,000. There is a "phase out" $ for $ after the purchase of $2,000,000 of new and/or used equipment. This if a customer has $2,500,000 of purchases in 2013 there will be no Section 179 deduction. This phase out shows that this deduction is designed for small and mid-sized businesses.
Bonus depreciation for new equipment. Like last year, the extra additional bonus depreciation is 50% of the purchase price of new equipment. Example – if a customer buys new equipment in 2013 for $600,000 the customer can take an extra $300,000 bonus depreciation deduction in 2013.

DNR hope to prod moose to travel on
ABERCROMBIE – Officials from the provincial Department of Natural Resources are asking people to stay away from a moose that's been hanging out in the Abercrombie area for over a month.
Charlottetown residents left shocked by last week's murder have banded together to tackle the issues of drugs, safety and security in the city.
Residents living close to the scene of last weekend's murder at 182 Brows Lane, as well as the mayor, two city councillors and at least one MLA, met at an undisclosed location Sunday night to discuss the incident.
However, exactly what was discussed in the closed meeting is still unclear.
Mayor Clifford Lee remained tight-lipped after the meeting and said he had been asked by residents not to comment on what was discussed.
"It wasn't my meeting and out of respect to the residents, that's my comment," said Lee. "I'll be honest, I regularly meet with groups of residents across the city. It was a meeting chaired by the residents."
While organizers also declined The Guardian's request to have a reporter sit in on the meeting, it was clear the discussion was spurred by last Friday's stabbing and that part of the conversation addressed a drug problem in the city.
A 17-year-old Charlottetown woman is in the midst of a first-degree murder trial after a 45-year-old man was stabbed to death July 11.
The incident shook up members of the community, although multiple sources told The Guardian that residents had previously raised issues to Charlottetown police about the apartment where the stabbing took place.
City police did not have a representative at Sunday's meeting.
Coun. Melissa Hilton, who represents the ward, was not able to be reached by The Guardian for a comment after the meeting.
Coun. Mitch Tweel, who has been vocal about the city's drug problem, was also invited by organizers.
Tweel also did not want to give specifics about the meeting but did point towards a drug problem and said it's an issue that's "consistent across the city."
"There is a greater awareness now. Residents are saying enough is enough we want our neighbourhoods back and (for them to be) safe and secure," said Tweel. "They pay big taxes and want that quality of life they had a number of years ago. You're talking about the health and vibrancy of neighbourhoods and communities, and they don't want it compromised in any way, shape or form."
Tweel said the next step will likely be additional meetings, as well as residents creating a plan of action to meet with various city officials.
"You've got to keep in mind the police department did a tremendous job with Operation Clean Sweep, however, we're right back to where we started," said Tweel, referencing a massive drug sting operation carried out January.
"Make no mistake, the community is not looking for words. They want action."
Mayoral candidate Philip Brown had also attended the meeting and credited residents for stepping up and taking action.
Brown said he felt the meeting could eventually lead to a neighbourhood association being formed in the community.
"Hopefully it will develop into something long-term with results . . . I fully support neighbourhood associations coming forward to keep neighbourhoods safe and secure," said Brown, who suggested Charlottetown adopt a policy similar to Halifax where start-up funds are given to associations.
"I was very proud to say that I was there to see this neighbourhood taking a big step forward."

This is the coffee maker that maintains an optimal temperature throughout the brewing process, eliminating bitterness and creating a more flavorful cup. Unlike traditional coffee makers that start brewing before all the water has been heated, this superior model waits until it has all reached the barista's recommended temperature, holding the water in the stainless steel reservoir until it is ready to percolate over the grounds, a process that extracts a richer flavor from the beans and eliminates the bitter or flat taste that can occur when brewing at a lower or higher temperature. The LCD control panel lets you program the device to automatically brew at a set time, and the 10-cup glass carafe can be removed during brewing to pour a cup. Uses widely available cone filters (not included). 14" L x 13 3/4" W x 7" D. (6 3/4 lbs.)
Lifetime Guarantee
The Bitterness Eliminating Coffee Maker comes with The Hammacher Schlemmer Lifetime Guarantee. If this product ever disappoints you, for any reason, you may return your Hammacher Schlemmer purchase for exchange, credit, or refund.

looks better than in catalog, it is very simple and cool, I use about a third less coffee, the taste is unbelievable even with cheaper brand coffee, carafe does not trip and is very sturdy to hold in one hand, I decided to add the recommend water filter (cheap and very easy to install!).Overall I believe this is going to be the best coffee maker I used in a long time.Very happy.
Great cup of Joe!

Good Coffee, Small Pot
By rockiesmama
from Grand Junction, Colorado
Would like to see several improvements: larger carafe, temperature gauge to confirm brew temperature; easier access to replacement carafe (German manufactured coffee maker is serviced by Salton Canada). Coffee is good, but we live at high altitude (7000', where water boils at lower temp). Coffee is not as hot as we would prefer. We'd like the machine to make this adjustment and brew at a hotter temp. Machine style stands out on kitchen counter.
Hammacher Schlemmer Response: Thank you for your feedback/sharing your recent experience.

I agree with a previous review that it looks much better in reality than in the image used to advertise it. I love how the water tank area lights up! It brews fast and the coffee is definitely amazingly smooth, no bitterness, no bite, just smooth on the palette. I have only used higher quality coffees so far, so I cannot speak for the folger's/maxwell house/etc users. Even my higher quality coffees come out much better in this machine than in previous percolators or brewing machines. I am still figuring out how to grind the coffee to avoid the sediment at the bottom of the carafe, but I think adding a coffee filter would solve that regardless. Absolutely worth the money. Very satisfied. Hopefully it holds up, the sturdiness/quality of the manufacturing cannot be told until it is used for a period of time.

Best tasting coffee I've had in a while. This machine does a great job. Buy it with confidence. If you don't like this coffee makers coffee, switch to drinking tea or something else because you will never be satisfied.

Wonderful Machine!
By RJS2
from Fishers, IN
We had to try four different coffee makers before we found this one...the perfect one for us! Love the way it looks...but more importantly, the coffee it makes. The chrome doesn't smudge like many chrome appliances. We also like keeping the coffee and water separate...they are added into different parts of the machine not adjacent sections like many coffee makers. It was worth the hunt!

Rose - from Castro Valley, CA
A number of things could be going wrong. First, check your oven temperature. If the oven is too hot, the cake could be rising too quickly, causing the surface to crack. Overmixing can incorporate too much air into cake batter, again, causing your cake to crack as the air escapes while the cake bakes. Finally, if you are making a "from scratch" recipe, be sure you are measuring the ingredients correctly – too much shortening, baking powder or sugar can cause cracking; likewise, too many dry ingredients in relation to the amount of wet ingredients can cause cracking.

REDLANDS - Twenty-two artists from different mediums were invited to showcase and sell their works on Sunday at Art in the Alley in downtown.
Sponsored in part by Augie's Coffee Shop, the event gave artists the opportunity to display their craft and talk art in the alleyway next to the coffee house.
Sunday's show was the second of two Art in the Alley events held at Augie's. The first was in the spring.
The idea stemmed from a discussion several years ago.
"One of the main reasons why we gathered at first was to the paint the alley and invite our friends out," said Aeron Brown, a Redlands artist and host of the event.
"We started off doing live paintings," he said, and now its gone more into exhibiting work. It has snowballed into an art culture that has been rolling and rolling.
"I get so many artists on a monthly basis to show their art and now we're able to facilitate."
The show was originally scheduled for Dec. 2, but weather forced coordinators to cancel.
Still, after having to endure the cancelation, dozens of people attended the six-hour long show Sunday.
Since its founding, Art in the Alley has been held twice a year.
Because of its popularity, Brown said, organizers may hold it three times a year.
"It's really awesome," he said. "We even have plans with the city where we hook up with the shops and sell our art in (them)."
Brown said art events are not only embraced by the community, but help artists who are trying to discover what they want to do next.
"A lot of people that have been discouraged about their gifts have come out here and are getting extremely encouraged and making careers out of it," he said.
Jennifer Tipton of San Bernardino had gift bags and holiday cards out on display.
She said began selling her works after years of receiving feedback from relatives and friends.
"People like receiving my handmade cards, so that's kind of why I got into this," Tipton said. "I liked the expressions on their faces, I liked giving it to them, and now they kind of expect it."
Tipton leaves many of her greeting cards blank to allow those who give her works to their friends, family and relatives the opportunity to personalize each one.
She said it sometimes adds to the excitement of knowing a stranger will enjoy what she made.

A week ago I had BT 5 kde 32 bit up and running with LUKS encryption (for the tutorial on this see the "HOW TO" tab).
Everything was stable until running "apt-get autoremove", the next boot gave an error.
Probably because "apt-get autoremove" removed cryptsetup which was needed to boot.
Havn't tested it on a non encrypted setup though.

Charlie Murphy Laid To Rest: Dave Chappelle, George Lopez & More Pay Respects
Charlie Murphy's funeral took place yesterday (April 19) evening. A number of comedians and loved ones of the late star attended to pay their last respects.
Cedric The Entertainer was one of them. "Tonite we joined Family n Friends to pay tribute and lay to rest our brother the Legendary #charliemurphy @neilbrennan @realdlhughley @georgelopez @eddiegriffin @donnellrawlings @davechapelle S/o @jaypharoah @affioncrockett #Capone #terryhodges #garfield," he captioned a photo of himself with some other comedians at the service.
Take a look at the picture below. From the way some of their faces looked in the photo, it definitely looked like they were crying a lot, while saying goodbye to Murphy.
"We love you charlie RIP keep doing it big," Donnell Rawlings also captioned a photo. See his below.
In a previously released statement, Charlie's youngest brother, Eddie, said on behalf of his family: "Our hearts are heavy with the loss today of our son, brother, father, uncle and friend Charlie. Charlie filled our family with love and laughter and there won't be a day that goes by that his presence will not be missed."
Charlie Murphy passed away last week after losing his battle with leukemia. He was 57 years old.

SLEAZE: Selena and Justin BACK Together?!
Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber are back together … but not without a CATCH.
Reportedly, Selena made it very clear that she's OVER Justin's wild antics and all of the controversy surrounding Justin's actions and whereabouts. TMZ reports that Selena wants to Justin to get his act together in public, and apparently Justin has agreed to do so.
Let's hope that Selena can be a positive influence on Justin if they do decide to get back together.

Voices of Practitioners features teacher research in early childhood education.
Who should submit manuscripts to Voices of Practitioners?
All teachers in early childhood settings serving children from birth through third grade are invited to submit their research. The study can focus on children, families, staff, the settings themselves, or other factors that influence teaching. The editors of Voices of Practitioners welcome all teacher research manuscripts and look forward to learning from early childhood communities that are seldom represented in the research literature (such as infant and toddler programs, family child care, or teachers and children from a range of ethnic backgrounds).
Types of articles
Authors can submit manuscripts to any of the three sections of Voices of Practitioners
- Teacher Research Articles feature original research conducted by early childhood teachers of their own practice.
- Supporting Teacher Research offers practical information, such as how to design teacher research courses, and stimulating discussions about teacher research issues.
- Actions and Reflections highlights the wide range of early childhood teacher research initiatives and inquiry communities through brief summaries.
Teacher Research Articles
All teachers in early childhood settings serving children from birth through third grade are invited to submit their research. The study should be conducted in the teacher's own classroom or other early childhood practioner setting and can focus on children, families, staff, the settings themselves, or other factors that influence teaching. The article should highlight the full teacher research process, beginning with a meaningful question or questions and ending with a reflection on each step of the process. Teacher research can be carried out by an individual teacher or by a teacher in collaboration with other teachers or with a teacher educator.
Content for Teacher Research Articles
Teacher research manuscripts submitted to Voices of Practitioners should include the following sections:
- Introduction/Research Question—What is your research question(s)? How did it(they) evolve?
- Review of Literature—What does the professional literature/research say about your question?
- Methods—Describe setting and participants. What was your research plan? How was your study conducted? How did you collect and analyze data? What was the process you implemented to answer your question?
- Findings and Discussion—What did you learn? Illustrated findings with examples from the data.
- Conclusions—What are the implications of the study for others in the field, ideas for continuing teacher research as part of daily teaching practices, and further questions raised by the study?
Articles should also include personal reflections on the teacher research journey.
Parallel Voices: Teacher Research Accompanied by Commentary by a Teacher Educator
We accept an additional form for teacher research articles, Parallel Voices articles, that share the voice of a teacher researcher(s) and the voice of a supporting teacher educator. These submissions should feature a teacher research study performed and described by one or more teachers plus a separately authored commentary from a teacher educator who has supported the teacher(s) throughout the research process. As in the standard Voices format for teacher research, these articles must feature studies by teachers of their own practice and meet all the criteria for teacher research articles described above. The voices of teachers and their original insights are central.
The teacher educator writes the accompanying Commentary after the teacher researcher has finished writing up his or her study. Through the Commentary the teacher educator provides his or her outside perspective of the teacher research study, thereby enhancing the dialogue and extending the meaning, not to merely summarize or restate the findings of the teacher research. Commentary pieces might include the contributions of the teacher's research to the early childhood field, discussion of broader theoretical issues raised by the teacher research, connections to other empirical studies or the professional literature or additional questions that are raised by the research. The teacher educator might describe aspects of the process he or she has used to support the teacher inquiry or how it is built into her professional program.
Though published at the same time, each research article and accompanying commentary will have a separate title and credited authorship. Ultimately, Parallel Voices research and commentary articles should be considered together as a partnership between teacher researcher and teacher educator, each contributing scholarship and insights to enhance teaching and learning in the early childhood field.
Supporting Teacher Research
Teacher educators or professional development specialists who are experienced in teacher research, can submit manuscripts that describe innovative practices in their professional preparation programs, teacher research issues and/or innovative ways to support teacher research in early childhood communities and settings. Articles can be designed to help readers understand the diverse nature of teacher research, such as our article on narrative inquiry. Authors can describe techniques to help early childhood teachers design studies, collect and analyze data, report and reflect on findings, and write up their research for professional audiences.
Actions and Reflections
Actions and Reflections is an ongoing series in which we will post new projects as we receive them. Authors should submit a 500-750 word summary of their teacher research project. The summary should include an overview of the teacher research initiative and should include contact information for educators interested in learning more about specific project goals and methods.
Cover page
- Article title and name(s) of author(s)
- Author information: full name, affiliation, title, address, phone, fax, and e-mail for each author
- Designation of one author as the primary contact.
- The intended section (teacher research, for the teacher educator, teacher research initiatives) for the manuscript
- Brief abstract of the research project. Describe the question or problem, the subjects, the findings, and the implications of the study (approximately ½ page).
- Teacher Research manuscripts should be 3,500 words, including references or appendices.
- Parallel Voices accompanying commentaries should be no more than 2,000 words.
- Supporting Teacher Research manuscripts should be a maximum of 3,500 words, including references.
Style of text
- Double-space lines, and leave at least 1-inch margins
- Follow appropriate word count
- Include the title and date in the footer
- Use a clear informal style of writing. Avoid excessive educational and research jargon.
- Write in active voice…"The children contributed ideas…" rather than "Ideas were contributed by the children…"
- Include subheads and visuals (children's work samples, photographs, charts, graphs).
- Photos or other graphics should illustrate and clarify the data and not just serve as decorative elements.
- Do not include the name(s) of author(s) anywhere except on the cover page as all manuscripts are subject to a blind review.
- References, citations, and excerpts
- Provide accurate and complete information for references and resources. Follow Chapter 15, "Documentation II" in the Chicago Manual of Style, 16th Edition (available at libraries and bookstores).
- Authors are responsible for seeking and maintaining written permission from parents or legal guardians to include children's art and work samples.
- Authors are encouraged to submit photos with their teacher research. We require model releases for all recognizable people in each photo (signed by all adults who appear in the photo and by the parents or legal guardians of all the children photographed). We may ask photographers to provide copies of the model releases.
- For quoted material longer than 100 words, authors must seek and submit written permission from the copyright holder prior to publication.
Submitting a manuscript
Authors should submit manuscripts through Manuscript Central, the online manuscript submission system for Voices of Practitioners and Young Children http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/youngchildren. On many of the pages, you'll see the Young Children logo and other information specific to Young Children. After creating an account, authors will find instructions for Voices of Practitioners submissions.
Be sure to select Voices of Practitioners under manuscript type and to submit the cover page, article, and photographs as separate files. Each manuscript will receive an ID number.

Also please email a Word copy of manuscripts to, Heather Collick at email@example.com.
Photograph and work sample submission guidelines
Photographs and work samples play a powerful role in communicating the content of your article. Each photo must be technically excellent and convey an important message about the care and education of children from infancy through age 8. Voices of Practitioners uses color photographs only. To see the types of photos used, photographers can review past issues of Voices of Practitioners.
Voices of Practitioners is the Association's peer-reviewed, teacher research journal.
Submitting photographs
Send high-resolution images electronically via email or on CDs, DVDs, or flash drives in JPEG, TIF, EPS, or other standard formats. Digital submissions will not be returned. Photographs should be sent as individual attachments when submitting manuscripts.
Model releases
Authors/Photographers must have and keep model releases for all recognizable people in each photo (signed by all the adults who appear in the photo and by the parents or legal guardians of all the children photographed). Authors/Photographers must provide a sample copy of their model release.
Photo license
Authors/Photographers must sign a Photograph License Agreement. This agreement verifies that you own the photos and that you have the proper model releases for everyone appearing in the photos. It allows NAEYC to use your photos in print and digital formats.
Publication photo use
The author/photographer is credited and retains copyright for each photo published. By submitting photos to NAEYC, photographers assign to NAEYC the right to use the photos in current and subsequent printings of the publication in which they appear, whether in print or digital format.
Photo tips for non-professionals
• Use a 8 megapixel digital camera or better and use the highest quality setting when you shoot.
• Use natural light. Raise shades or open curtains as necessary.
• Try to be unobtrusive and allow the children and adults to forget that you are there.
• Take photos at the children's level.
• Catch the children and adults in action, not posing.
• Focus on the people in the foreground.
• Take many photos but expect only a few to be just right.
• Clothing should not have any logos, cartoons or video characters, inappropriate sayings, or designs that date a photo.
Review process
- The journal editor, the teacher research coordinator, and the teacher research coeditors jointly determine whether the article meets the basic guidelines. If not, the author is advised why the manuscript is not appropriate for consideration. If they choose to, authors can revise their manuscript accordingly and resubmit.
- Manuscripts that meet the basic guidelines will be sent out for peer review by members of the Editorial Advisory Board, a group of early childhood teacher research experts, including teacher researchers, who represent geographic, cultural, linguistic, and subject matter diversity. The reviewers will provide comments and recommendations.
- Using all the reviews as a guide, one of the following decisions will be made (notification will be sent to the author by email):
- The manuscript will be accepted for publication in Voices of Practitioners on the NAEYC Web site.
- The author will be asked to revise and resubmit the manuscript for further review or possible acceptance. Reviewers' suggestions for enhancing the manuscript will be sent to author. Authors will have up to four months to complete revisions and resubmit the manuscript.
- The author will be advised the manuscript is not accepted for publication.
From acceptance to online publication
- It is not possible to determine in advance the exact publication dates of accepted manuscripts. Most manuscripts will require some revisions during the editing and production process.
- Editing involves the teacher research coeditors, the journal editor, and a copy editor. Authors may be asked to update, clarify, or expand article content or references. A copy editor will return the edited article to the author via e-mail for final approval before the manuscript enters production.
- When an article is scheduled for publication, authors are asked to complete biographies and copyright transfer forms. Both forms are provided electronically. The copyright transfer provides permission for publication on the NAEYC Web site.
- If you have questions about the submission and review process for Voices of Practitioners contact Heather Collick, submit your queries in an email to email@example.com, or call 202-232-8777, ext. 8407.

Hartke is a brand that undoubtedly revolutionised the world of bass amplification when they created a unique aluminium cone driver in '85, which opened our eyes to more possibilities with different materials. The revolutionary aluminium driver had the ability to produce a bass tone with much broader dynamics than any other bass amp at the time.
Today Hartke amps are being put to good use by artists like Marcus Miller, Frank Bello and Darryl Jones, who are fans of the HyDrive series, which features hybrid cone drivers, consisting of both the revolutionary aluminium and traditional paper cones. Hartke are "always driving the latest innovations in speaker and amplifier technology, the Hartke revolution rolls on…"
Billy Sheehan is a bass icon and his first full-time band was Talas, a power trio also featuring Dave Constantino on guitar and Paul Varga on drums. Sheehan has been a big name in the rock scene for over 30 years, best known as the original bassist of popular rock band Mr. Big. He has also worked with the likes of Steve Vai, David Lee Roth, Talas and Niacin and is also an internationally acclaimed solo artist.
When Mr. Big began recording a new album in September 2010, Sheehan looked to Hartke for a new approach to his classic bass tone. With Hartke's LH1000 and HA5500C amplifiers, as well as their AK410 and 115 cabinets making up Sheehan's new bass setup, an exciting new partnership was in place.
"Hartke amplifiers and AK cabinets are rock solid. Tight, high definition, deep and glorious. I absolutely love playing through them." - Sheehan
09 12 2011 04:05
Hartke has been in the news a lot lately, partially thanks to their "wooing" of some very high profile endorsers including Mr. Big's Billy Sheehan.

Street Chic: Great Danes
Zoe says: "Patti, what's the best piece of advice you give your subjects?"
Patti says: "As my mother said, nothing good happens after 11 p.m. Go home! Always leave him wanting more."
Joe's Opinion: In this situation, you want to seem confident but not cocky, sexy but not sleazy, fashionable but not a fashion slave. Shelve your high-maintenance tendencies, i.e., footwear. The guy who chooses a club clearly wants to be able to move, so opt for sturdy platforms or heels that have stabilizing ankle straps. The strategic cutouts in this Gucci dress show off Andreea's sexy confidence with just enough tease—suggest, don't reveal.
Joe's Last Word: "For an evening out, break the little-black-dress habit. This neutral is just as classy, but way more eye-catching."

WATCH: David Bowie releases 'I'd Rather Be High' video
Listen to David Bowie on iHeartRadio
(Yahoo!) - Nearly a half century into his career, David Bowie is still making waves. His latest volley: the decidedly anti-war video for "I'd Rather Be High (Venetian Mix)," a track featured on the recently released "The Next Day Extra," a deluxe version of his latest album.
Bowie surprised fans in March with the release of "The Next Day," his first album in a decade. The collection, which topped the charts in 15 countries, has been widely praised by critics, earning a spot on a slew of year-end "best of" lists. It's also spawned a series of eye-catching videos. "The Next Day Extra," which features the original 14-track album, a 10-track CD of bonus songs — including "I'd Rather Be High (Venetian Mix)" — as well as a DVD featuring video clips, was released last month.
The new video for "I'd Rather Be High" may be Bowie's boldest statement yet. The clip pairs vintage footage of soldiers at war contrasted with servicemen celebrating at dances and parades while Bowie sings, "I'd rather be high / I'd rather be flying / I'd rather be dead or out of my head / Than training these guns on those men in the sand." Later in the song, Bowie croons, "I'm 17 and my looks can prove it / I'm so afraid that I will love it / I'd rather smoke and phone my ex / Be pleading for some teenage sex." In the video, Bowie is only seen briefly, through a distorted lens, singing the song.
Directed by Tom Hingston, the "I'd Rather Be High" clip is not the first time the song has been put to visuals. It also served as the soundtrack to the Louis Vuitton ad "L'Invitation au Voyage," which has been viewed more than 32 million times on YouTube since it was posted in early November. The 60-second clip (there is also a full 3-minute, 48-second version) features Bowie singing the lyrics at what appears to be an 18th century French masquerade party.
"I'd Rather Be High (Venetian Mix)" is also being issued on a special white vinyl 12-inch along with a mix of "Love Is Lost" by former LCD Soundsystem frontman James Murphy, on Dec. 16, in a special die-cut sleeve designed by Jonathan Barnbrook.

How to Drink... Scotch
Conroe, Texas, about 45 minutes north of Houston, is the home of Southern Star Brewing Co., which happens to put out one of the country's best dark beers: its Buried Hatchet Stout. It tastes like coffee with cream and a hint of milk chocolate — all tucked inside a well-hidden 8.3 percent alcohol by volume. That Buried Hatchet comes in a can may make it the perfect choice for a Reliant Stadium tailgate.
The Cleveland Browns may have been eliminated from playoff contention, but that doesn't mean others in the Buckeye State shouldn't cheer on the Bengals with Great Lakes Christmas Ale from Cleveland, one of Ohio's finest brews. Fans should consider themselves lucky if they can pick up a postseason six-pack of this seasonal ale brewed with honey, ginger, and cinnamon.
New Year's Eve, by the Hour

Coldplay's Chris Martin Talks 'Ghost Stories' & Kissing Andrew Garfield
Photo: Sadao Turner/Ryan Seacrest Productions
By Kathleen Perricone
Coldplay's Ghost Stories, comes out on Monday, and we were lucky enough to have Chris Martin stop by On Air with Ryan Seacrest on Thursday morning to tell us more about their new album … as well as that kiss he shared with Spider-Man's Andrew Garfield on Saturday Night Live.
"We went tongue to tongue," joked Chris about the hilarious TV moment, for which he didn't even need cue cards. "I learned that scene like my life depended on it, and I'm still waiting for the call for the next movie."
But did the two actually touch lips? Even though Chris had his back to the camera for the scene, he told Ryan and Ellen K., "The truth is absolutely. The director said, 'You really don't need to.' [And] I said, 'I really do.'"
As for Coldplay's sixth album, the singer explained that he's been working on its material "in some ways, over 30 years, and in other ways, about two."
The lyrics for the songs, including "Magic" and "A Sky Full of Stars," come to him "most often in the middle of the night. I don't sleep so much between about 11 and 2 or 3."
And he was especially creative during the full moon on Wednesday night when Chris told Ellen he wrote "one-and-a-half [songs] about dreaming."
The cover of Ghost Stories — a pair of wings forming two halves of a heart — conveys the message behind the album, explained Chris. "The idea of Ghost Stories is how to turn something bad into something that gives you an uplift."
The band also worked with Avicii — or "Tim" as Chris calls him — on "A Sky Full of Stars."
"I had that song and it had just come out of the sky about 2 o'clock in the morning about five months ago," explained Chris. "The rest of the band were in London because we had just finished a session together, but Tim was here, so I asked him, 'Is there any way you can come in a do this demo?' And in about 20 minutes, he turned it into this full-on thing and it was just wonderful to do that … he was there from the beginning."
Ghost Stories will be released on Monday, May 19 … pre-order it on iTunes now!
Before then, Coldplay: Ghost Stories airs Sunday, May 18, at 7 p.m. on NBC.
Also, watch the exclusive stream of iHeartRadio Release Party With Coldplay on Monday at 6 p.m. ET on Yahoo! Screen here at that time.

Khval Tabbed Big South Women's Tennis Freshman of the Week
Lady Flames freshman standout Maria Khval was named the Big South Women's Tennis Crons Brand Rookie of the Week for the second time this season on Tuesday. It is Khval's third conference weekly honor of the season, as the freshman was also the Player of the Week on Jan. 28.
Khval went a combined 4-0 in singles and doubles play last week, helping lead Liberty to a pair of Big South victories. Playing in the top doubles spot, Khval teamed with Rebekah Jenkins to defeat UNC Asheville's Ericka Rivero and Zoe Hamel, 8-4, and Presbyterian College's Greer Ransom and Courtney Gardiner, 8-3.
Khval followed her doubles performances with two straight-set wins in the No. 4 singles position. The Minsk, Belarus, native dominated the Bulldog's Christine Boissevain, 6-1, 6-3, before knocking off Gardiner of the Blue Hose, 6-1, 6-1.
Khval is now 11-7 overall in singles play and 8-6 in doubles matches. In conference matches, the freshman is 4-3 in singles play and 5-2 in doubles.
The Lady Flames tennis team returns to the court tomorrow with a road match at Radford. The contest against the Highlanders is scheduled to begin at 2 p.m.

The number of people in Snohomish County who have died of influenza this season has risen to four.
A Stanwood-area man in his 90s died Jan. 8 of influenza, Tim McDonald, who heads the Snohomish Health District's communicable disease division, said Friday.
The man also had an underlying health condition that was not disclosed.
Three other Snohomish County residents died in December from the flu, a Bothell woman in her 40s and two women in their 80s, one from Everett and one from Edmonds.
In Washington, 12 people have died from the flu, according to the state Department of Health. Influenza is now widespread in the state.
The hospitalizations and deaths follow warnings from public health officials that influenza could hit unusually hard this year.
So far, 66 people in Snohomish County have been hospitalized with influenza.
Seattle Children's Hospital has had as many as 13 pediatric patients test positive for flu each day, spokeswoman Meghan Pembroke said.
Local clinics have reported a surge in patients asking for flu shots this week. Some clinics and pharmacies said they were running low midweek and had to order more.
Any adult who still wants the shot is advised to call ahead to make sure their local pharmacy or clinic still has the vaccine.
Safeway and Bartell pharmacies said on Thursday that more adult flu vaccine was being shipped.
The Community Health Center of Snohomish County received 410 additional doses of adult vaccine this week.
"We haven't been able to find a source to order more," said LuAnne Kay, spokeswoman for the nonprofit clinics.
The Snohomish Health District has up to 680 doses of free adult flu vaccine available for uninsured and low income adults. Its first flu shot clinic was held Friday in Everett. Another flu shot clinic is scheduled from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. Jan. 26 at Comcast Arena in Everett.
Sheryl Day, clinic services manager at Edmonds Family Medicine, said that the clinic has gone through about 7,000 doses of adult vaccine. The 500 doses arriving this week should supply the clinic for about two weeks.
The Everett Clinic was resupplied with 3,000 doses of adult flu vaccine on Wednesday, but was told there was no more available.
"There's been so much attention to the seriousness of the flu this yea that demand for the vaccine skyrocketed rapidly in the last week," said April Zepeda, clinic spokeswoman.

Free flu shots
The Snohomish Health District is offering free flu shots to uninsured and low income adults from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. Jan. 26 at Comcast Arena, 2000 Hewitt Ave. in Everett.

Gary Ablett's Gold Coast beat his former AFL side Geelong for the first time on Saturday evening by 40 points, a win described by Suns coach Guy McKenna as one of the best in their three-and-a-half year history.
Gold Coast came back at Metricon Stadium to run over the Cats, with eight unanswered goals either side of halftime setting up a 17.16 (118) to 11.12 (78) triumph. Harley Bennell kicked a game-high six majors.
The win lifts the Suns to seventh on the ladder, while the Cats lose pace with the top three.
McKenna rated the victory, in front of 18,236 fans, as among the Suns' best.
"Given the opponents and their proud history, it's certainly up there. To beat them, you have to perform well and almost play them at the same game."
This was Ablett's fifth match against the Cats since leaving Kardinia Park at the end of 2010.
Despite 33 touches and a late goal, Ablett was overshadowed by Bennell in the best game of his young AFL career.
After early hamstring and calf injuries, Bennell looks set to fulfil the promise he showed in his breakout 2012 campaign.
As well as six goals, he set up three other majors, including two of Charlie Dixon's three, and created countless other opportunities.
A clearly impressed Chris Scott said he expected Bennell to have similar impact on games "for a few years to come".
Suns teenager Jack Martin, playing only his second game after a shoulder injury on debut, had 15 possessions, seven tackles and a goal.
Martin returned without playing a reserve match, something McKenna said spoke volumes about his character.
"He's a quality kid. You wouldn't (bring straight back) a lot of boys but he's a fairly levelheaded fella.
"His pressure is immense. All the other things he does is a bonus.
"From his pressure, (there are) turnovers up the ground and someone else gets on the end of it."
The result seemed unlikely after a five-goal first quarter left the Cats 11 in front, but they managed just six more.
Worrying for Geelong is an ankle injury to Matthew Stokes who was forced off after the first quarter.
The Cats' Shane Kersten bagged three goals on debut - one from his first kick. Tom Hawkins and Steven Motlop also kicked three majors.
Geelong coach Chris Scott felt overplaying the ball and losing Stokes cost his side.
"He's been really good for us, influential around the ball. That threw out our plans a little bit."
Although there is no prognosis on Stokes yet, Scott admitted "he had to come off so that's generally not a good sign".
Scott admitted the Suns' "manic pressure" was just as big a contributor.
"We were beaten around the ball. Their pressure was good, but we probably overused it a bit ... a lot of disposals for not a lot of inside 50s (43)."

Today's reality is harsh, and the challenges disturbing. All homes today are not safe for every child. Poverty, drug use, mental illness, criminal activity, and neglect place children at extreme risk.
CEDARS continues to respond, giving hope to youth in need and direction to families struggling to stay together.
It is the mission of CEDARS to help children who have been abused, neglected, and homeless achieve safety, stability, and enduring family relationships.
CEDARS is...
• a safe, secure place for over 3,500 children and youth each year
• a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization
• a United Way partner
• a "Better Business Bureau Accredited Business" and 2005 BBB Integrity Award winner
• nationally accredited by the Council on Accreditation (COA) and National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC)

WATCH: Lea Michele releases music video for 'Cannonball'
Listen to Lea Michele on iHeartRadio
Gleeks, hold onto those slushies and take a seat!
Our favorite golden star, Lea Michele comes in like an emotional
wrecking ball "Cannonball" in her brand new music video — her debut is everything we wanted and more.
As the clip unwraps, you immediately get the distinction impression that there is little acting here — her emotions are real. Solemn and dreary, the video opens up on Michele alone in a dark, dank, abandoned building. Cob webs and dust leer out at her from every corner of the darkness.
The tragedy and pain is written all over her face. Could this possibly be a subtle nod to Cory Monteith and the aftermath of his death? She digs her claws into the syrupy, yet powerful, lyrics. As the story unfolds, colorful orbs begin to playfully appear in the black above her head, following the words as she "finds the light at the end of the tunnel."
"And now I will start living today, today, today," she booms on the monstrous chorus. "I closed the door. I got this new beginning, and I will fly, I'll fly like a cannonball."
By the end, you can't do anything but cheer for her. The past year has been devastating, and she is the bravest soul there is. Bravo.
"Cannonball" is the lead-in to her highly anticipated Louder debut album, dropping March 4 on Columbia Records.

Escondido officials say they plan to reopen one of San Diego County's most iconic public art pieces this winter after a contractor completes $50,000 in repair work.
But the 12-acre Queen Califia sculpture garden will have limited hours and need a long series of additional repairs and upgrades after it reopens, city officials said this week.
The garden, which opened in 2003 but has been closed since May because of deterioration and damage from vandalism, is one of four public art pieces in the county by renowned French artist Niki de Saint Phalle. The others are the Sun God at UC San Diego, a large piece near Petco Park and a group of sculptures next to Balboa Park's Mingei International Museum.
Last week, the city of Escondido and the Niki Charitable Art Foundation — a group that oversees Saint Phalle's art pieces around the world — agreed to spend $25,000 each on the Queen Califia repairs, which will include replacing hundreds of damaged mirrors and colored floor tiles.
That announcement came after Escondido's efforts to maintain and secure the garden were criticized in an 18-page evaluation completed by Rosa Lowinger & Associations, an independent art consultant hired by the foundation. Lowinger was recommended by the renowned Getty Conservation Institute in Los Angeles.
In the report, Lowinger said the garden had suffered from neglect, the use of recycled sewer water to clean the sculptures and malfunctioning security cameras.
City planner Jay Petrek disagreed with those criticisms, blaming the deterioration of the sculptures on vandalism and normal wear-and-tear.
"We totally value those beautiful pieces of art," he said. "There are so few of those around the world."
Petrek said the repairs would begin in October or November and be complete by the end of this year or early next year.
The Niki Charitable Art Foundation also agreed to cover the cost of repairing the garden's walls and some other features after it reopens. David Stevenson, a trustee of the foundation, estimated those upgrades would cost at least another $50,000.
To avoid future vandalism, city officials have also agreed to open the garden to the public only when someone representing the city is present.
Petrek said that would mean limited hours at the garden, which had been open sunrise to sunset before the closure. But he said the garden might still be open frequently if enough people volunteer to oversee it a few hours a week as docents.
Stevenson said the foundation is confident city officials would be taking great care of the garden from now on.
"What's gone on in the past is a reflection of city economics that seems to be a problem everywhere," Stevenson said. "We're encouraged by the attitude of the city going forward. They seem very prepared to step up."
The foundation wants the city to raise money for future repairs and maintenance by creating a gift kiosk near the garden's entrance where small replicas of Saint Phalle's sculptures would be sold.
Petrek said city officials are open to the idea, but stressed that plan would require two volunteers working simultaneously: one to run the kiosk and another to monitor the garden's elaborate maze and other features.
Lowinger's report suggested the city could charge admission to the garden, but Petrek and Stevenson said they rejected that idea because Saint Phalle donated it to the city so the public could enjoy it for free.
Petrek said city officials are exploring whether some repairs and maintenance could be covered by interest Escondido earns on public art fees collected from developers.
Stevenson said the foundation can't afford to spend much on repairs. The foundation's $30 million in assets consists mostly of art pieces. He said the foundation has only about $1 million in cash to cover annual expenses and emergency maintenance projects.
The garden is named after Califia, a fictional warrior queen. It was one of the last sculptures Saint Phalle, a longtime La Jolla resident, completed before her death in 2002.

PHILADELPHIA -- Aramark has joined forces with Cooking Light magazine in an exclusive multiyear agreement that will expand the foodservice company's wellness offerings into North American business and industry locations.
The relationship provides Aramark with access to magazine's recipes. It also aids the ongoing development of healthy foods by opening the door to branded Cooking Light demonstration stations in its client locations. Employees will be able to enjoy a freshly prepared Cooking Light breakfast, lunch or snack item and learn tips and techniques from the onsite Aramark chef.
The station will also provide employees with a Cooking Light recipe card, and its accompanying nutritional information, so cooking techniques can be replicated at home. Additionally, Aramark will make the magazine available for purchase in select locations.
To date, six Cooking Light demonstration stations have been opened in several states nationwide. Additional client locations will open in major marketplaces on a biweekly basis throughout 2010.
