Margaret SchautOne more conservative viewpoint on the world at large.
Archive for presidential election
The Most Courageous Political Question Ever Asked
The divide between the government and the wishes of the people has NEVER been greater. Across the country, 48% of voters are ready to vote third party and in some places, like here in Michigan, over 70% of voters intend to do so. That same amount are worried about the ILLEGAL war, the escalating war, the war that is getting America nowhere but bankrupt; that same number are worried about the economy and WELL THEY SHOULD BE.
That same number are feeling lied to, abused, and misused by all the powers that be.
Yet our media, our political machines, everyone we depend on to handle things properly, are all betraying us at every turn.
During this 'calm before the storm' we know the turmoil is COMING, and its right around the corner. We know that what happens in this election will determine the fate of America and the only thing we can ALL agree on is that we don't like how it looks to us.
In the midst of this, by a politician, I was asked the most courageous, most poignant, most important political question I'd ever heard in my life.
"Where is your HEART?" Linda Goldthorpe asked me.
And THATS the rub, isn't it? In a world where our hearts can't even be understood anymore, where our attention and ability to think is so disrupted, where our values have been so chewed up- no matter what they are- by the lies and manipulation of those we trusted, the only thing remaining for us to vote on or with is our HEARTS.
It is truly a dangerous question. Obama for president? He's on the top ten most corrupted politicians in America list, has bailed out so far on every 'foundational' position like FISA as soon as AIPAC or the telecoms dangle the promise of money and backing; promises to make infanticide LAW (despite his 'expertise' as a constitutional lawyer), yet the black community's heart is 'One of OURS in that White House no matter what the costs.' The feminist movement's heart is 'Infanticide and abortion ENSHRINED into Federal law, even if it costs us the Constitution.' McCain stands NOWHERE we can believe in or trust, he is the pot calling the kettle black.
They have a right to vote with their hearts- who doesn't? In fact, that's all we each have left is what resides there, in our hearts.
Is your heart with the PARTY? With RACE? With GENDER? With your WALLET? With ABORTION? With WAR? Where IS your heart? With FEAR and TORTURE??? Your heart of hearts?
If the economy COLLAPSES, with that change your heart? If our government starts a global NUCLEAR WAR, will that change your heart? If our country turns into a dictatorship from hell, will that change your heart? You had best really look NOW, BEFORE YOU VOTE.
To ask this question in such an awful political year is to position oneself in the most dangerous of places, in the most authentic truth of who Americans ARE. To bring out into our faces what we are willing to sacrifice for the true motivations each of us have.
Bart Stupak , Linda Goldthorpe's competitor and an incumbent, is totally wrapped up in the issues facing Michigan's agriculture. As I've discussed here before, small farmers are being destroyed across the state, by Federal standards that violate EVERY CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT of property owners. The Amish community is being completely destroyed by these things.
And for the Fed, the destruction isn't happening fast enough. They've just sent 13,000 Federal Agents to Michigan, at Michigan's expense, to speed up this process. The monster is too big, Bart Stupak too small, to save ANYTHING. He's too involved in the party, in the party politics, too caught up in the monster to make any difference.
The Republican's complaint of big government is much too little, much too late. Not only has government increased in its size to a Godzilla under their watch, the ones Godzilla tramples under are expected to turn over all their rights, all their wealth, TO Godzilla. The two parties have done this.
We MUST crumble that machine. We won't do it by more of the same.
Therefore, the question, 'Citizen, WHERE IS YOUR HEART?' is THE MOST RELEVANT, MOST IMPORTANT, AND MOST DANGEROUS QUESTION A POLITICIAN CAN ASK.
The ONLY thing that can save America, no matter where our hearts are, is to RETURN THE GOVERNMENT TO THE PEOPLE.
Where Michigan goes, so goes the country, and Michigan is in a DEPRESSION. ALL of her assets are being SEIZED by government, or purchased by foreigners. It is harder to buy or sell ANYTHING. It is coming to YOUR state too.
Do we have the HEART to do that? Linda Goldthorpe thinks so. Ron Paul thinks so. Chuck Baldwin thinks so. Bob Barr thinks so.
Its time for us to decide where our hearts truly are because, like it or not, THAT is what will determine the future of our country. If we don't have the heart for the fight, our enemies surely do.
Bizarre MSM Math: Ron Paul In Front of Delegates!
While the mainstream media still plays its bizarre math games, can't seem to add 1 to 3 to get 4 candidates, the people are achieving what the puppet-masters have been using every dirty trick in the book to avoid:
Ron Paul is NOW a legitimate choice for delegates in Indiana!
Ron Paul can't be hidden from those 'voters' any longer, thanks to the incredible hard work and tenacity of the Ron Paul people campaigning FOR him.
"For an ideological conservative, Ron Paul is much closer to the old-time Republican conservative" than McCain or the party's current president, Wright said. Paul favors abolition of the Internal Revenue Service, the Federal Reserve and some other federal departments, for example. By contrast, George W. Bush "is a big-government conservative," Wright said."
The media still play with the math – as if the 'people' EVER had a chance to choose the delegates; and per normal deny their responsibility in suppressing his message to the voters, another continuous deception and political trick they accuse RP supporters of.
Congratulations on a job EXTREMELY WELL DONE! It isn't over until its OVER, and God willing, we'll be in for a Ron Paul presidency DESPITE the global puppet masters that are cannibalizing America.
Press Right Along, Ron Paul People!
From my fabulous Ron Paul Coordinator!
Friends you have a chance to be part of a real Revolution! Ron Paul supporters have been so inflamed by the bankster owned "Mainstream Media" MM, blackout of Dr. Ron Paul that they are by-passing them. Taking it to the streets, the Internet, and taking over the Republican party from the grassroots level up! Ron Paul events are drawing huge enthusiastic crowds all over the country. So big the media is scared to show them! Below are descriptions of recent Ron Paul happenings.
ARLINGTON , VIRGINIA: Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul once again demonstrated his tremendous popularity with young people yesterday when he addressed an overflow crowd of 1,200 people at Goucher College in Baltimore , Maryland . On Friday, April 11th, the Texas Republican was met with similar passionate crowds of 800 at Gettysburg College and 2,000 at Penn State University .
"Dr. Paul excites tremendous passion with young people who are hungry for personal freedom and constitutional government," said campaign spokesman Jesse Benton. "The grassroots movement that the Ron Paul campaign has generated continues to build across America ."
Dr. Paul is continuing his bid for the Republican nomination to spread the message of constitutional government and personal freedom, to bring the GOP back to its traditional roots, and to continue the grassroots activism that his candidacy inspired. His new book, "The Revolution, A Manifesto", launched April 30th."
Dr. Ron Paul's book is the number one best seller on Amazon today! What does that tell you?
From the Reno Gazette-Journal:
"After a super-majority of Ron Paul supporters captured control of the Republican state convention Saturday, state party officials abruptly canceled the event without electing delegates to the national convention.
"Early in the day, state delegates supporting Paul's continued pursuit of the Republican nomination voted through a rules change that forced the state party to abandon its preset ballot of potential national convention delegates and open up the race to the rest of the state delegates.
"The vote followed a rousing speech by Paul of Texas, who said his presidential campaign will continue as long as he has support.
Ron Paul's new book "The Revolution: A Manifesto" Borders book signing in N.Y. is the biggest ever!
Good news to report out of New York at yesterday's book signing, where the books were sold out before Dr. Paul even showed up! The Borders staff informed our campaign that the biggest signing they ever had at that location, which is one of their flagships, was New York Giants star running back Tiki Barber, and then they mentioned that Dr. Paul's signing was even bigger!
Wow, there were thousands, plural there today. By the time we got there it was 1:00 pm, all the books were sold out. However that didn't stop us from waiting an hour and a half just to shake Dr. Ron Paul's hand. We weren't alone either, there must have countless others behind us. I can't imagine how fatiguing it is to sign thousands of books, but he looked tired. Starting off this morning with an early interview on CNN, which was typical great Ron Paul style, then the book signing, and more to come today, you Dr. Paul deserve some rest. Don't worry, we will not let the R3volution fade, what you have started cannot fail. Feel comforted that all your efforts are not in vain, You Sir are well loved. Thank You again. On with the Revolution !!!
Please go to http://www.RonPaul2008.com every few days and catch up with events, videos, and "The Daily Dose" blog comments. and see
"YES" Endorsements and Accaim for Ron Paul." there on the home page for famous citizens, intellectuals, economists etc. You can also go to www.dailypaul.com for the latest on the Ron Paul Revolution.
People are fed up with a choice of 3 candidates hand picked by the banksters. From the begining, all candidates of both parties are members of The Council on Foreign Relations, CFR, the true ruling elite of the world. All MM owners, reporters, TV "news"(propaganda) hacks, radio talk show hosts, etc. are CFR members.
Dr. Ron Paul does not want to belong to that club. So who have they given us to choose from?
1. A socialist ignoramus and war monger (McCain)
2. A marxist power freak and compulsive liar (Clinton) and
3. A "I'll give you everything for free, just vote for me" racist & communist (Obama).
If we continue to educate the American people about Dr. Ron Paul we can win at the Republican Convention or by write in vote in the election.
We have 6 months to do it and if we don't… higher taxes, more regulations, more war, a crashing economy, massive unemployment, (and let me add: FASCIST DICTATORSHIP) and it may even get to rioting in the streets. People these days will not stand in bread lines, they'll be coming to take what they need and whatever they want…from you!
It will be a lot more pleasant to do it according to the Constitution and the electoral process.
"Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable."
John F. Kennedy, In a speech at the White House,
It's up to us and that means you too. If any of the other three "One World Government" candidates get elected it's curtains for this country, and freedom in this world. Just forward these E-mails I've put together to everyone you know who cares about this country and FREEDOM!
See RON PAUL ON CNN APRIL 28, 2008, "THE GOP CAN'T SHUT ME OUT"
People wake up! The media, and the government are totally controlled by the international banksters. You will never hear anything they don't want you to unless you look for it on the Internet or private publications like http://www.republicmagazines.com http://www.restoretherepublic.com/content/view/1061/71/
Here's upcoming events from http://www.RonPaul2008.com

Viva Ron Paul Viva la R3volution.
GOP Slipping: McCain Will LOSE to Ron Paul
When EVERYONE needs to hold their nose to vote for a candidate, from the delegates to the citizens, things aren't good! Though McCain's 'expertise' is in the military, even the military doesn't want him. He's too volatile to have his hand on the nuclear button.
Conservatives, Constitutionalists, Pro-Lifers, and people of all types who LOVE THEIR LIBERTY have NO HOPE that they will find REPRESENTATION in McCain.
And critical to that issue is the delegates that the GOP CLAIMS are all 'tied up' in his favor.
We see the strong-arm battles the Democrats are engaged in to 'tie up' the delegates and super-delegates, and there is a REASON.
With the delegates Ron Paul has in the GOP camp, during the strangest political year in 40 years, our dark horse can easily come from behind!
How strange has it been? Ghouliani was 'struck by lightning' during his debate and went from 'annointed front-runner' to last years diapers. The fall in the stock market hit so hard that Romney had to bail out on his personally financed campaign. Hillary is so hated that even a 'nowhere man' can challenge her!
And they ALL want to escalate the war and drive our country into the kind of bankruptcy that will take centuries to dig out from, without concern of any kind. I am reminded of my political science related to the democrats: all they want is to control the budget/power. AFTER that, they'll think about the rest.
I predict an enormous shock all through MSM and through the country, that a TRUE CONSERVATIVE that KNOWS ECONOMICS will take the day.
All Ron Paul supporters, even the ones who have been convinced he can't win- JUST BE READY to vote for your guy.
The strangeness of this political year is ON OUR SIDE. That doesn't happen often!
Politics of Denial Struck Again!
Diebold Accidentally Leaks Results Of 2008 Election Early
Blood Lust Has Overtaken the Parties, Except Ron Paul!
The Blood Lust Will Overtake You ALL
In Alabama…
"In 1993 Don claims he saw clouds that formed seven trumpets (three "clear and ready to blow"); in 1994 a veil of darkness that covered half the sky; in 1994 the inspiration to say, "The heat shall be in the blood. It shall come to a boil. People shall become enthralled with its power and thrill. The dullness of their souls shall be shattered and overpowered. It will drive the emotions and provide a life force of its own. It shall wash over all of mankind. Prayer is the only defense to keep from being drawn into the boiling cauldron." Prophecies
In 1994 experiments began on aborted embryos for cloning and genetic research purposes.Also in 1994, almost ONE MILLION people were chopped apart with machetes in Rwanda, though they also for years had had prophetic warnings which were dismissed as ridiculous and ignored.
Mother Theresa had said, "the fruit of abortion is nuclear war."
It can't be any surprise that those of us opposed to the wholesale slaughter of tens of millions of innocent Americans felt that 9/11 was, perhaps, in part, chastisement for so much bloodshed.
What we didn't understand at the time, but is CLEAR NOW, is that this bloodlust would make America abandon our Christian principles ALTOGETHER and be willing to DROP THE FIRST NUCLEAR WEAPONS, unprovoked, against 'enemies' that can't possibly be a danger to us!
Luke 23: 27-30 is a promise or prophecy of Jesus' own:
"there followed him a great multitude of the people, and of women who bewailed and lamented him. But Jesus turning to them said, "Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me but for yourselves and for your children. For behold, the days are coming when they will say, 'Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bore, and the breasts that never gave suck! Then they will begin to say to the mountains, 'Fall on us'; and to the hills, 'cover us.'"
We have the opportunity to vote OUT those who have succumbed to this blood lust, and elect Dr. Ron Paul, who has introduced the Sanctity of Life Act. He has delivered 4,000 babies and cared for as many new mothers!
Yet, our Republican front runner, John McCain has declared that the ILLEGAL and IMMORAL war with Iraq can and should last 100 years- this from a man Pat Buchanan described: "John McCain will make Dick Cheney look like Gandhi."
But you say, "there won't be nuclear war" by the democrats…
Take a look here:
Even the media is keeping the blood lust going, and you're listening! Observe the BLOODLUST yourself! Not enough torture? Not enough war escalation? Too 'soft' on the 'war on terror?'
Will YOU choose the bloodlust for yourself and your country? It is HERE, NOW.
Will you ignore the reality of what we are genuinely facing, because the blood lusting media ridicules the ONLY candidate that wants America to survive? Wants America to THRIVE? Wants to SAVE AMERICA from the monsters that have been running it for at least two decades?
Will you ignore this opportunity to elect Ron Paul, because you would rather believe proven LIARS than what you KNOW to be true?
Reconsider your soul, reconsider life, reconsider whether we want to empower and dive headlong into what the neo-cons, neo-coms, and blood-thirsty military industrial one-worlders want. There are consequences for every decision. There will be irreversible ones for this one we are facing as a nation.
Vote Ron Paul even if you hear he can't win. The fact is, he can't lose or we ALL do. God bless.

Riddick 2013 full movie
There's another great movie with Vin Diesel starring a main role. A long time ago there was The Chronicles of Riddick movie - it was 2004, exactly. Some people liked it, some don't, what for me - I don't remember it. Probably, I didn't liked it at all, because if movie is good, you can't forget it this simple. So, my friend presents me a possibility to download Riddick 2013 full movie, and I can't say that I really want it, but I will watch it. Trailer made me want to do this, you can see it in here. Of course, it's not finished yet, but whatever - you can wait till the autumn or don't. In the trailer they say "This fall - rule the dark!", and I understand why is it so. Dark creatures, that seems to me like big insects (it's very individually, I haven't seen monsters like that in the movies - sarcasm). If you need brake and relax, you can download Despicable me 2 HD and watch it with good company, because this movie will make you want to see the sun and hear birds singing.
Unstoppable rains, mud and seas with brown grey water. Branded eyewear hiding glowing Riddick's eyes (if you look at the face of man and see bald head with such eyewear - you totally gonna say "Riddick!"). Heroes saying phrases like "Time is up!" or "What was that?". You can't be mistaken when you see this full movie what it will be about and how it will end. Good hero will rise like Bruce Willis in Die Hard series, beat up all baddies and insects, rides his very stylish motorbike, and get a girl. Come on, all good heroes should get a girl in the end!

In September 2013 we launched our first ever Appeal. We reached our target of £50,000 to provide the 20,000 bricks in April 2014 following the incredible response from SLA supporters.
We are delighted to announce that the building of the new accomodation block for 100 boys has been completed and was officially opened by the February 2015 Volunteer Group.
We then gave our Indian Partners the go-ahead to begin building work for the urgently needed accommodation block to provide five bedrooms within our main campus for 100 of the youngest boys aged 3-10. Until the accommodation block was built our Indian partners had to temporarily house the boys in the dining hall in response to an intolerable increase in safety risks.
After the enormous support for raise the roof the dream of building the boys' accommodation in the main compound became a reality. As soon as our Indian Partners were given the go ahead they began looking at how best to meet the boys' needs.
The original plan was to build a new floor above the dining hall however a second opinion from another engineer revealed that the foundations were not strong enough to support a second floor indefinitely. New supports would need to be installed and this would divide the area making it unsuitable as a dining hall. Therefore a different design was considered which still used the same building but allowed them to make the necessary changes to make a two story building viable.
The boys accomodation block will now be on the ground floor, with beams to strengthen the foundations of the floor above, where the dining room will be relocated. This design means that the building can be used as planned and there will be no encroachment on the space where the children play.
June 2014 – The work has already started but due to the extreme heat in India through May & June the work has been slower and there has been sand shortage which has delayed things further. However the sand has now been sourced and the temperature is reducing, a' balmy' 39 The pillars and cross beams are already constructed and the actual roof will be raised and in place at the next stage.
August 2014 – We can now report that all the internal walls, designed to create the bedrooms and provide the strengthening foundations necessary to build an upper floor are completed. These have been tested and declared capable of supporting a further floor above which will be the new dining room.
On the upper floor, the pillars to support the roof are completed and the slab roof has been erected, so the roof has literally been raised!
The Bamboo scaffolding, an Indian version of our metal poles, has now been removed; always a good sign in any building work in any country, and the walls are in the process of being built to create the new eating space for the children.
January 2015 – Juggling the move of the Dining Hall to the upper floor of the new Dormitory Block has made this a more complicated build than first anticipated.
The good news is that the boys have moved in and are "camping out" in their new bedrooms whilst the final changes are made.
In the very near future the floor of the dining room will be laid and tiled and as soon as the Dining Room is ready for action, work will begin on building the toilets for the boys as these are to be sited in the area currently used to wash the dishes! The ultimate plan is to retain the kitchen in its present location and to use a 'dummy waiter' lift to transport food to the new Dining Hall.
March 2015 – We are delighted to announce that the building of the new accomodation block for 100 boys has been completed and was officially opened by the February 2015 Volunteer Group.

National Power Supply is a company that specializes in diesel engines.
And that might seem like a fairly open and shut kind of thing. We specialize in just this one thing, in refurbishing and remanufacturing the engines used in industrial vehicles like bulldozers and caterpillars. What implications can something like that possibly have?
Well, it's funny you should ask. Diesel engines are ridiculously powerful as far as the needs are concerned. They generate a lot of power, and so they're used in situations that require a lot of power. Mining vehicles, agricultural vehicles like tractors, semis on the road: these all use some kind of diesel engine. That's because the standard internal combustion engine just doesn't cut it in those kinds of situations.
There's no reason not to use this power for yourself if you're, say, a businessman with a building, or a house that endures the winter. We specialize in power solutions for people who need power regardless of whether they're on the road or not.
We do that by specializing in the models that are the most needed, and by maintaining a low margin between what we charge and what the parts cost to put the engines together.
Don't let the low prices fool you, though. We aren't wasting our time on spitting these things off on assembly lines. Each of these diesel engines is assembled by hand, by a builder who specializes in your particular kind of engine.
In National Power Supply we are the best because of our dedication to quality and to serving you. We think you'll like what you find with us.

But you're quite right. I manually added the ifcfg-eth1 file with suitable content, rebooted, and the interface is now present. Can't actually tell yet whether it's "working"; that would be easy to test though. Next step is to install LVS on that system; it needed that second interface to get to the pair of server systems that are going to be hidden behind the LVS system in this test setup. But I think that's something I'll start tomorrow, not now. -- David Dyer-Bennet, dd-b at dd-b.net; http://dd-b.net/ Snapshots: http://dd-b.net/dd-b/SnapshotAlbum/data/ Photos: http://dd-b.net/photography/gallery/ Dragaera: http://dragaera.info

1. Taco Bell rolls out the Cool Ranch taco shell, as posted on Facebook just this morning. Don't tease, Taco Bell. Please, don't tease.
2. The onomatopoeia "meh" to describe food dies in a horrid hot glue-gun accident. Bonus: it's replaced with a word as resplendent as "onomatopoeia."
3. Pictures of pink slime go away for good and instead we all just promise not to sneak gross animal by-products into our food -- when we're not expecting it anyway (see item number 1).
4. Gestation crates continue to go away as well, and instead we all just promise to be decent about things. On another note: Last week I saw an actual real baby pig. "Sprinkels" was cute and playful. I'm conflicted.
5. Twinkies gets bought out by a distillery (preferably local) that tweaks the cream filling recipe ever so slightly and introduces rumkies, bourbonkies and the like. Sack lunches would be so much funner.
6. The phrase "farm-to-table" flies the coop and we no longer imply that vegetables might come from places other than farms. (Yes, I was probably guilty of this, but please don't search it. I'm admitting it here.)
7. Pizza Hut stops dilly-dallying around about it and stuffs an entire pig into a pizza. "Pig-stuffed pan crust."

You have successfully signed up for your selected newsletter(s) - please keep an eye on your mailbox, we're movin' in!
8. A pickling food trend? Really? Pickling was created to preserve food that's out of season and, mostly, as a matter of survival. Pickling has its place in the world, but not as an entire trend. The coup will be if there's a pickling food truck.
9. On that note, some predict food trucks will begin to fade this year. I hope not. They definitely serve a purpose in many situations. And, like anything else, if the truck is run well (that implies good food), then they'll be successful. I just pity the operators. Seems like an exhausting job.
10. Anthony Bourdain continues to be Anthony Bourdain. I'm way behind the curve here as I don't watch a lot of the tele, but he did a live chat on Gawker recently where he rapid-fired off-the-cuff responses and dodged no bullets, including this:
I'm averse to clean, well organized and functioning societies. Just the way I am. I tend towards hot, messy, dysfunctional ones that barely hold together -- with spicy food, palm trees, (and) passion.

Where were you the day John Lennon was assassinated? If you were born and have any memory of December 8, 1980, you probably received the tragic news from Howard Cosell, who broke the story during a telecast of Monday Night Football.
My buddy Ed and I were in a bar at Penn Station, two miles from The Dakota, where Mark David Chapman gunned down Lennon just hours after receiving an autograph from the former Beatle. Ed and I had just attended the WWF show at Madison Square Garden and had a great time watching Bruno Sammartino defeat Sgt. Slaughter in the main event.
Ed suggested we head over to The Dakota, but I couldn't. I am a huge fan of The Beatles and Lennon and I just wouldn't be able to handle it.
On the 30th anniversary of that horrible day, I think about John, Bruno, and Howard Cosell. I e-mailed Ed this morning to learn that he had the same thought.
Miss ya, John!

|Ruptura / The Cut
|2014 / 138 min / Germany
Mardin, 1915: one night, the Turkish police rounds up all the Armenian men in the city, including the young blacksmith, Nazaret Manoogian, who is separated from his family. Years later, after managing to survive the horrors of the genocide, he hears that his two daughters are also still alive. He becomes fixated on the idea of finding them and sets off to track them down. His search takes him from the Mesopotamian deserts and Havana to the barren and desolate prairies of North Dakota. On this odyssey, he encounters a range of very different people: angelic and kind-hearted characters, but also the devil incarnate.
Fatih Akin was born in 1973 in Hamburg, Germany from Turhish parents. His first film was Short Sharp Shock which brought him the "Bronze Leopard" award in Locarno. His fourth work, Head-On (Gegen die Wand) was a major success in 2004 and received several prizes, among them the Golden Bear award at the Berlin Film Festival and the "Best Film" and the "Audience Award" at the 2004 European Film Awards. In 2007, Akin's The Edge of Heaven, won the prize for best screenplay at the 60th Cannes Film Festival in 2007. In 2009 he directed Soul Kitchen. He has said he chose this more light-hearted film because he needed a break after making the "tough" films Head-On and The Edge of Heaven. His last film The Cut is based on the Armenian Genocide, was nominated for Golden Lion (Venice Film Festival) and won Vittorio Veneto Film Festival Award - Special Mention.

Lauren Aulet
I am a fourth year graduate student at Emory University in Stella Lourenco's Spatial Cognition lab. At Emory, I also collaborate with the labs of Daniel Dilks and Gregory Berns. As an undergraduate, I studied psychology, philosophy, and cognitive science at SUNY Geneseo where I conducted research with Jeffrey Mounts and Ganie Dehart.
My current research examines the link(s) between number and space, incorporating multiple techniques (behavioral and functional imaging), developmental populations (infancy, childhood, and adulthood) and species (human and canine).
In particular, my current work focuses on two questions:
1) What is the functional significance, if any, of the mental number line? How does the developmental trajectory of this phenomenon inform this question?
2) What is the relation between numerosity and other non-numerical magnitudes, particularly in the visual domain? How do these other dimensions, such as area or density, influence our perception of numerosity?

P-38J Lightning Marge 1/32 Scale Model Aircraft
Click to enlarge
The Lockheed P-38 Lightning was a World War II American fighter aircraft.
The P-38 was used most extensively and successfully in the Pacific Theater of Operations and the China-Burma-India Theater of Operations, where it was flown by the American pilots with the highest number of aerial victories to this date. America's top ace Richard Bong earned 40 victories (in a lightning he called Marge) and Thomas McGuire scored 38 (in Pudgy).
The P-38 Lightning was designed in 1937 as a high-altitude interceptor.
The P-38 was the only American fighter aircraft in active production throughout the duration of American involvement in the war, from Pearl Harbor to VJ Day.
The P-38 introduced a new dimension to American fighters - a second engine. The multi-engine configuration reduced the Lightning loss rate to anti-aircraft gunfire during ground attack missions.
As with any long-term production aircraft, the P-38 underwent many modifications. The fastest of the modifications was the P-38J with a top speed of 420 mph and the version produced in the greatest quantity was the L, of which 3,735 were built by Lockheed and 113 by Vultee. The P-38M was a two-seat radar-equipped night fighter, a few of which had become operational before the war ended.
The P-38 was the Army's fastest and most heavily armed fighter. The concentration of firepower in the Lightning's nose was so effective that a one-second burst could destroy an enemy plane. In the Pacific Theater, Lightning pilots downed more Japanese aircraft than pilots flying any other allied plane.
By the end of production in 1945, 9,923 P-38s had been built. Only 27 of the aircraft exist today.

A Flight Attendant, A Widow & A Scholar
On Christmas Day 2011, Nikki Altmann received news that would change her life forever. Her husband, Staff Sergeant Joseph Altmann, was killed in active duty while serving in Afghanistan. Three years later, a scholarship from the Pat Tillman Foundation and enrollment in the College of Education and Human Development's human resource development bachelor's degree program gave her life new purpose.
Nikki, who previously served troops as a flight attendant on chartered military flights, had always enjoyed helping others and, particularly, serving the military. When her husband passed, she sought to use her work experience to give back to her country. She realized that the first step in fulfilling that dream was to pursue a college degree.
She was one of 60 military veterans and spouses chosen to receive the scholarship out of nearly 7,000 applicants nationwide.
Now she is determined to live up to the Pat Tillman legacy of public service.
"I want to pay it forward and say 'thank you' by succeeding," she said. "As if to say, 'Because of you, look what I did.'"
On the topic of military widows and widowers like her, she said, "It's sad. It is but we want to turn that tragedy into something triumphant. We're honoring [our soldiers] by living our lives."
Nikki credits the Pat Tillman Foundation for taking that persevering attitude and giving her the professional know-how to turn her lofty dreams into practical action.
It's sad. It is but we want to turn that tragedy into something triumphant. We're honoring our soldiers by living our lives - Nikki Altmann, Pat Tillman Scholar, human resource development studentTweet This
There's a Spirit Can Ne'er Be Told
As it turned out, her search for a bachelor's degree in human resource development, which is offered at very few universities in her home state of Texas, led her to Texas A&M University.
The challenge of re-adjusting to civilian life – coupled with the typical difficulties of being a non-traditional student – was not easy, but she felt at home within the university's military culture.
"The military lifestyle is different and it's an amazing feeling to be apart of. I got that same feeling when I got to A&M. I never understood what it meant to say, 'There's a spirit can ne'er be told.' Now I get it."
She said that she has enjoyed the small class sizes and close-knit atmosphere within the College of Education and Human Development.
"This has been my best decision ever. Not just being at A&M but being at the College of Education and Human Development. There are some amazing advisers here and some amazing support over at Heaton Hall."
In spite of her early struggles on campus, she has thrived in her degree program and her advisers rave about her.
"In a short time, she has become a leader in many of her major courses," said Avery Pavliska, senior advisor in the Department of Educational Administration and Human Resource (EAHR). "We are proud to have Nikki in our department."
Brynn Ruiz, academic advisor in EAHR, said, "She has been through quite a lot and in sharing her goals with me, I know her perseverance and determination will get her there!"
When she graduates, she hopes to pursue a master's degree and use what she has learned to better prepare military families for the challenges of reintegration.
Aggie Gold Star Network & What's Next
In her degree program, she is learning how to create an inclusive environment for employees in the workplace. She hopes to apply those same lessons of diversity and inclusion to advocate for a better learning environment for veterans and military spouses on campus.
After talking with a friend at the Texas A&M Veteran Resource & Support Center, she started the Aggie Gold Star Network. Named for the gold star lapel button given to family members who lose a loved one in the line of duty, the group hopes to provide those students support and connect them with the many veteran resources on campus.
She said that, in the future, she might want the network to provide scholarships and fund Aggie Rings for its members. For now however, it is a means of connection between those students, which she said is a powerful thing on its own.
"I want those students to understand that they're not alone; that there are actually people on campus who understand what they're going through."
Between her coursework and all that she does with the university's military community, she continues to think of her late husband.
"He is my driving force," she said. "When he was serving and I was flying, we used to say, 'We're both doing our part, just a little different. I'm over here and you're over there.'"
Three years after her husband's passing, two things haven't changed: she's still doing her part, and he still gives her strength.
"He does support me still and I know he's here," she smiled. "I can't see him but he's here."

Guymon Man Molested, Warrant Requested
KSCB News - April 18, 2013 8:26 am
Charges have been submitted to the Texas County District Attorney's office in reference to an alleged incident that happened in a Guymon Hotel Monday evening.
At approximately 11:46 p.m. on the night of April 15, an officer was dispatched to the Guymon Police Department in reference to a possible sexual assault.
A report obtained from the police department states the victim, a 20-year-old hotel employee, told the officer he was working at the hotel that evening when 68-year-old Steven Johnson of Oklahoma City, brought the employee some food and told him to stop by his room when his shift was over.
Johnson, who reportedly was staying in the hotel, is a regular customer, according to the report.
The report also states after the victim's shift was over, he went to take Johnson a receipt he had left at the front desk and they met in the hallway on the way to Johnson's room.
The victim was then asked to come into Johnson's room where Johnson allegedly tried to get the victim to drink beer, but due to being under age, the victim did not want to drink.
The victim told the officer Johnson informed him he would tell the victim's boss he (the victim) asked Johnson to purchase the beer for him and then the victim would get in trouble.
Johnson gave the victim more beer to take, and the victim allegedly did so without consuming them, due to "feeling pressured", according to the report.
After a short conversation with Johnson, the report states the victim "jumped after seeing the clock" and got up to leave the room, and Johnson allegedly shook his hand and then reached into the victim's pants and molested him.
The report says the victim told his father about the incident, and his father told him to report the incident, and he did so immediately.
The officer went to the hotel and advised Johnson he would need to go to the police department first thing the next morning to discuss the incident with a detective.
Johnson arrived at the police department the next morning and during the interview with the detective, allegedly admitted to the incident. The detective then explained the process and informed Johnson what he allegedly did to the victim was sexual battery.
A warrant for the arrest of Steven Johnson has been requested in reference to the incident for Sexual Battery.

Today, there is a clean energy transition underway to reduce carbon, enable large and small-scale renewables, integrate advanced technologies and provide power and information that flow both ways.
When we put capital to work, we are improving operational efficiencies, customer reliability and shareholder value. We are first and foremost a regulated energy company, which means the investments we make on infrastructure to improve the customer experience are generally supported by regulators and earn fair and reasonable regulated returns.
Between 2016-2018, AEP plans to invest approximately $5 billion, annually. Most of these capital investments – 95 percent – will be allocated to our regulated businesses; 74 percent will be allocated to transmission and distribution.
Tomorrow's energy company must be adaptable, agile and ready to embrace new opportunities as they arise. We are deploying capital where it is needed and can benefit customers and investors the most. For example, the upgrade of our customer contact center technology which is under way will enable us to engage customers across multiple platforms in one place, providing the type of service customers expect. Our investments in transmission improve reliability for all customers and enable the connection of renewable resources to the grid. And our strategy to invest in large-scale universal solar will allow us to cost-effectively and efficiently deliver clean energy to more customers.

Title: The Keeper of the Key
Author: Debra Smith
Source: author request
Genre: Paranormal Romance
Length: Novella
Reviewed by: MsPink
Kate, an everyday book store owner, is thrown into a world of danger after receiving a letter from her deceased husband. She follows the clues into the arms of Xander, a tough guy she can't stop herself from responding to. Her body ignites from a single glance, and she is unable to control her passions. Despite her love they are doomed to fail, because a human can never survive a vampire's hunger.
Xander admires the fiery temper of the seductive human he's determined to help follow the dangerous trail her dead husband sent her on, ending in the mythical land of Shangri La. In an effort to save her, Xander bonds them together, sentencing her to death unless he can undo the blood tie. Though he craves her touch, he's forced to push her away while they battle their way to the chaos at the heart of Shangri La. Can he protect her from her family's secrets and find a way to be together, or will their love be lost in the pits of a crumbling castle?
Xander admires the fiery temper of the seductive human he's determined to help follow the dangerous trail her dead husband sent her on, ending in the mythical land of Shangri La. In an effort to save her, Xander bonds them together, sentencing her to death unless he can undo the blood tie. Though he craves her touch, he's forced to push her away while they battle their way to the chaos at the heart of Shangri La. Can he protect her from her family's secrets and find a way to be together, or will their love be lost in the pits of a crumbling castle?
This was a story that looks to begin a series about a group of various paranormal characters of many different species. Shangri La appears to be over run by bad guys due to a brutal killing of the royal families many years ago. The only way to restore it to its full glory and strength is to locate the lost Key and the sacred fountain.
Kate is just a humble book owner and a widow. She receives a mysterious letter a year after her husband's death from him. He basically tells her there are many secrets she doesn't know and she needs to be brave and go on a quest to find out the truth behind her true background. This also involves a very special necklace enclosed in the letter. He gives her many clues and he guides her to Xander to help her. Xander is a vampire who apparently knew Tom, her late husband. As soon as she meets Xander, under very risky circumstances I might add, there is a pull between them. The story is fast paced. So their immediate connection is very quickly sealed. This is followed by many revelations about her true identity, her brother Devon, her family, as well as the quiet normal world she thought she lived in. She is forever changed and her life will never be the same. It is a very quick story so if I go in to too much detail it would be very "spoilerish".
Their love story... Very sweet and also sexy. It was a short book but the love scenes were aplenty! Of course lots of sexin and biting and blood-sharing. Xander and Kate very quickly fall for each other. But until Xander realizes how strong Kate can become, he is too scared to have a future with her for fear of hurting her. He bit her and sealed the "bond" with her in order to save her from some nasty characters that wanted to take her. But he knew that he needed to find a way to break the bond in order to let her go. Their quest to Shangri La, along with her "brother" Devon would hopefully provide him with that solution. They kept getting closer and closer and he knew it would be difficult but he had to let her go. **I was bothered by how quickly she was able to just connect with him. She didn't even know his name, then he had just saved her from slave traders, in a place her dead husband guided her to and woke up in a stranger's bed after being rescued. And the first thing she could think of us how nice his ass was and eating breakfast. The questions should have been racing to the forefront of her mind to get answers to this crazy quest her late husband sent her on. They embarked on a physical relationship almost immediately. The almost desperate way Kate wanted to be with Xander, even after he rejected her, was frustrating for me. But that's just me. She was a woman who just wanted her man and didn't care what she had to do to keep him.
Questions... how in the world did her husband know all this? Who was he really? There were a couple of characters popping in and out of the story with no real explanation. The VERY jealous and vindictive ex-girlfriend of Xander who swore vengeance against him. Zack, who was Xander's friend was a very small side character that didn't bare much impact on the story either. Once they reached Shangri La and more characters came in to play, it was a bit more exciting. Lots of potential for more stories. Crystal and Devon, Trevor and someone we don't know yet....
There were humorous parts that made me laugh as well. Crystal and Kate were a funny pair as they set out to punish Xander a little bit. He soon realizes he can't be without her and loves her. All in all a cute story. Just VERY fast paced and a bit of jumping around that sometimes had me rereading pages to make sure I didn't miss something. I liked the story and am curious about future installments. But it had enough great potential that it could have been double the length in order to really flesh out the characters, the cool world the author is building, and the background details of the storyline. Cleverly abrupt ending though! Leaves you very curious about the follow up story... I appreciated the opportunity to read it!

Stillness & Tea
I sip my tea, running my heart's fingers over the contours of compassion. This wet, cool morning intensifies pain in my hips and pelvis. With the pain, my stillness intensifies. I am unable to escape so I stay. After months of pain, my mind is worn down with 'weather report' remarks to itself, as if today's alarm bell of pain is an emergency. It isn't. It is just there. It is time to move on inside myself. As long as I sit still, I am free. This situation allows me, finally, to explore through the world of physical quietude what courses beneath. Read more

Anyway, I had a brilliant time. House of Fraser kindly offered to lend me one of their beautiful sparkly dresses for the occasion but I love this black, wide-legged halterneck jumpsuit… Boring, I know, but sparkle and dresses just aren't very me!

Williams Patent Crusher and Pulverizer Company Inc.
Founded in 1871, Williams Patent Crusher and Pulverizer Company Inc. provides customized process solutions for customers across the manufacturing and energy sectors, from mines and mills to food processing and the paper and lumber industries.
With more than 500 patents and trademarks to its name, Williams Patent Crusher & Pulverizer is a leader in innovation within the crushing and pulverizing equipment market. "We are on the front end of every manufacturing process and we provide a customized process solution for customer's unique and varied process requirements," says Robert Williams, CEO of Williams Patent and fourth-generation family owner
In addition to manufacturing size-reduction equipment, Williams Patent offers processes and controls for the drying, sizing, classifying and conveying, metering, bulk loading and thermal processing vital to any manufacturing operation.
Based in St. Louis, Missouri, family-owned and -operated, Williams Patent works with clients throughout North and South America and Europe, though its products can be found at manufacturing facilities across the globe. "There are a lot of import restrictions in China and Eastern Europe, but when they really need us, they find a way to get us involved," says Rob.
Streamlining sales through technology
Until recently Williams Patent had a large share of the utility power industry, but shifting gas prices have seen the company diversify its client base over the last two years to a range of Fortune 500 companies.
"Commodities really move in cycles now; one year it might be building products, one year it might be paper products," Rob explains. "We have an election coming up which usually indicates an increase in paper consumption, so the paper mills getting ready for that and do an equipment upgrade."
The company has set itself apart from the competition due largely in part to the decision to computerize its approach to sales, ensuring that bids are both quick and accurate. "We can look at a complex system and break them down into matrixes that we already have pricing information in place," he says. "We can give clients a customized solution with pricing within 24 hours, where a lot of our competitors have to go back to the drawing board and start engineering."
Williams Patent's status as a fourth-generation, family-owned and -operated company further sets the business apart in an industry that has come to be dominated by hedge-fund-controlled competitors.
"Hedge funds are the death of a company; they go in and slice and dice and squeeze all the talent and expenses out of a company and by the time it's been traded two or three times it's just living off its parts," says Rob.
While this approach might benefit a its company's stockholders, it's not a sustainable model for continued growth and market dominance, according to Rob. "You have to invest in people and in your company," he says.
This commitment to the continued success of the family business comes naturally to Rob, who has been working at the company since he was 15 — some 50 years. This length of tenure is not outside of the norm at Williams Patent, where some employees have been on the payroll for decades. "We have very little turnover because we invest very heavily in education and family life and treat them like they are part of the family," he says. This commitment to employees ensures that Williams Patent has the intellectual capital to remain an industry leader. "We're really trying to retain the mind trust and experiences that everyone has in this business," he adds.
Finding success in the unknown
Williams credits much of the company's success to its willingness to explore new and unknown market sectors. "We never say no because a company has to continue to be responsive to change at the most fundamental level," says Rob, citing the example of the paper companies and change in the diaper industry. "When I was a young man everyone used cloth diapers, but then somebody from Kimberly-Clark came to us and said 'can you spin paper into cotton?' I said 'I don't know, let's try,'" he adds.
While Williams Patent is most at home providing equipment for the front end of manufacturing use, the company has expanded more into equipment integration as of late. "We're no longer just a manufacturer; we provide a custom solution to a customer's unique requirements and that's how we've stayed in business for 140 years" says Rob.
An evolving commodities market has presented a number of challenges for Williams Patent in recent years, especially the trend toward rampant speculation. "Everything is so volatile," Rob elaborates. "It's like everything else in the market: a day trader can affect the market to make some money and it creates a lot of uncertainty. It seems to me as if the market has lost touch with the reality of supply and demand."
Changing attitudes around recycling have also taken their toll on the companies served by Williams Patent's crushing and pulverizing equipment. "There has been an impact on global mining in the commodities market based on recycling because a lot of industries' primary elements such as copper and lead have such a high recycle ration versus virgin material mining," says Rob. "In some ways it's good for the planet because it takes a lot less energy to recycle, but it also means the opportunities are smaller."
An increasing emphasis on computerization and automated systems within the industries served by Williams Patent will likely be a driving factor in the growth of the company, according to Rob. "Even in the crudest operations people are much more sophisticated when it comes to controlling their plants and energy levels and everything else through technology and it has made companies leaner and more profitable," he says.
Rob says growth has been relatively slow, but he finds some solace in that fact. "To me it's glacially growing, but there is some security in that; if we were growing by 30 percent a year, we would have a whole other set of problems, but because we have a fairly steady business supported by having 10,000 customers that have to buy parts, we have the luxury of taking our time," he says.
Encouraged by the company's steady growth, Rob is not afraid to take on ambitious new opportunities when they arise; for him that sort of risk is what running a business is all about. "Companies that allow for mistakes usually grow from that experience and companies that don't usually end up with very marginal successes," he says.

Eastern Pickerel
The eastern pickerel, also called chain pickerel in the North, and jack in the South, was first described by Le Sueur, in 1818, from the Connecticut River. He named it reticulatus, owing to the "reticulations" or the netted character of the markings on the body.
Its range extends from Maine along the coastwise streams to Florida and Louisiana. West of the Alleghanies it has been reported from the Ozark region of Missouri and Arkansas, but I am rather inclined to doubt it.
In its general form the pickerel resembles a small pike, though it is more slender, has a larger eye, and its coloration is quite different. The ground color is either olive-brown or some shade of green, the sides with a golden lustre, and the belly white. The sides are marked with many dark lines and streaks, mostly oblique and horizontal, forming a kind of network. There is a dark vertical bar below the eye; the dorsal fin is plain; the lower fins sometimes reddish; the caudal fin occasionally has a few dark spots or blotches.
In its habits of feeding and spawning it is similar to the pike, spawning in the early spring. It is found in weedy ponds in the North, and in the quiet, grassy reaches of southern streams. It feeds mostly on small fishes and frogs. It grows to a foot in length, usually, sometimes to two feet and weighing seven or eight pounds, though its usual maximum weight is three or four pounds.
In the New England states it is regarded by many as not only a fine game-fish, but an excellent food-fish as well. Others despise it on both counts, and there you are. To many boys fishing for pickerel was the highest ideal of angling, but with the larger experience of mature years his idol has been thrown from its pedestal, and he, too, has learned to look askance at the friend of his youth. But while the pickerel is not a game-fish of high degree, it is capable of furnishing a fair amount of sport with light black-bass tackle in waters not too weedy.
Ordinary black-bass rods and tackle are quite suitable for pickerel fishing, either with bait or fly, though the hooks should be larger, about 1-0 to 2-0, on gimp snells or heavy silkworm fibre. Where the weeds are too thick to admit of playing the fish a reel can be dispensed with, and a plain, light rod, in its natural state, can be substituted for the jointed rod. It should be long enough to furnish considerable elasticity, say twelve feet, as its flexibility must subserve, somewhat, the purposes of a reel.
The pickerel will take a sunken fly in shallow water, after it has been fluttered on the surface awhile. The red ibis, soldier, Abbey, polka, Montreal, and coachman are all good pickerel flies, if cast toward the dusk of evening. Skittering is a favorite method of fishing for the pickerel in weedy ponds. It is practised with a long cane rod, and line of about the same length as the rod, with or without a reel. A spoon bait, frog, or a piece of white bacon-rind cut in the semblance of a fish, or a frog's hind legs, skinned, are skittered or fluttered on the surface near the lily-pads and pickerel weeds. The fish should be kept on the surface if possible, when hooked, and drawn into open water; otherwise it may become entangled in the weeds and lost.
The pickerel may also be taken by still-fishing from a boat with the live minnow or frog. On open water, a very successful way is trolling with a small spoon and single hook, or a dead minnow. For these methods the reader is referred to pike or black-bass fishing.
I have found the pickerel as far south as eastern Florida, where it is known as "pike," though it is rarely met with, and owing to its rarity is held in pretty fair esteem as a game-fish. In the marshes and rice ditches of South Carolina, and some sluggish streams of southeast Georgia, it is rather more plentiful, though usually of inferior size and dusky coloration.
I once caught several on the Cooper River in South Carolina when fishing with very light tackle for "bream," which were unusually active and strong, and which impressed me as entitled to a better reputation as a game-fish than is commonly accorded to it by anglers. On the whole, the eastern pickerel is not half a bad fish, as English anglers would say. One might go farther and fare worse.

Abstract (Summary)The objective of this work is to develop plastic microlenses using high throughput injection molding techniques. In this work, plastic microlenses have been designed, fabricated and characterized for future applications in optical communications and biochemical chip detection systems. Microlenses, that have wide ranging applications in image processing, displays, communications and biochemical detection have been researched for the past two decades. Various fabrication techniques have been developed using a wide range of materials. Plastic as a material for fabricating microlenses has been investigated in recent years. Soft lithography and hot embossing are examples of two of the techniques that have been used to fabricate plastic microlenses. The primary reason for using plastics as the material is their potential for high volume replication at a very low cost. However, a suitable technique for high volume fabrication of plastic microlenses has not been optimized yet. This work has successfully implemented a fabrication technique that enables high volume replication of plastic microlenses using injection molding techniques. A replaceable injection mold disk was fabricated using metal electroforming. The initial microlens mold was realized using the photoresist reflow technique. The fabricated mold disk was used as the master mold for the injection molding process. The microlenses were fabricated using two new plastics, COC and Poly IR 2 that have excellent optical transparency in the visible and infrared wavelength regions respectively. The plastic microlenses were characterized in terms of their focal lengths and surface roughness. The plastic microlenses developed in this work hold lot of promise for numerous applications in optical communications and biochemical detection.

Foundations of Open School at Marcy
1. Interdisciplinary Learning is used to encourage student engagement and complex thinking.
• This is when a single subject is used to practice skills from more than one academic subject.
Examples of Interdisciplinary Learning at Marcy include:
• An art residency where students use writing, math, drawing and research to complete the art project.
• Writing paragraphs in science to describe observations in an experiment.
• Using geometric shapes in math to create art projects, while also learning about proportion and geometry.
• Learning about art history as a way to learn about a style of making art – for example studying Picasso and then making cubist art works.
2. Student-Centered Classrooms include opportunities for students to:
• make choices
• be involved in decision making
• work independently
• and in cooperative groups
• assess their own learning
Examples of Student Centered Classrooms at Marcy include:
• In creating History Day projects, students are able to choose a subject that fits within a theme, and from a variety
3. Grouping of students may change based on the subject, the skill that is being practiced or the activity. Flexible groups can increase student challenge and allow students the chance to learn from each other.
Examples of Flexible Grouping at Marcy include:
4. Families and the Community are valued resources for enriching and expanding student learning.
Examples of including the Community in learning at Marcy include:
• Options Classes that use volunteers from the Community as teachers.
• Our relationships with the University of Minnesota and Augsburg College, which bring large numbers of college students into our classrooms.
• Parent volunteers in a variety of jobs, including Art Adventure, field trips and as classroom
5. Learning is a process, something that each student does. Teachers are guides, helpers and instructors.
Examples of the Process of Learning at Marcy include:
• Math problems that require a student to figure out a way to solve a real-world problem.
• When students are asked to explain to their class the "how" or the "why" that lead them to the answer.
• Classroom discussion of Growth Mindset, and how everyone's brain can grow to learn new skills.
• Encouraging students to think of learning as the process of practicing a new skill until you can do it – like riding a bike.
• Language Arts time that allows students the chance to choose what to read or write about, while teachers offer structure through lessons that focus on skills that are part of all literacy. Such as, write about your choice of subject, using complete sentences and complex vocabulary.
6. We strive for a school culture that recognizes the Whole Child. We recognize that students must feel safe, welcomed and a part of the community before learning can really take place.
Examples of ways that Marcy recognizes the Whole Child include:
• Specialist classes and arts residencies that encourage students to express themselves in creative ways.
• Our partnership with the Mental Health Collaborative to help student with their emotional well-being.
• All of our teachers are trained in Responsive Classroom. Responsive Classroom focuses on encouraging positive behaviors in classrooms by building community and encouraging students to self-reflect.
• Our teachers are called by their first names. This tradition is intended to show that teachers and students are partners in education – both deserving of respect.
• Marcy is an International Peace Site. We celebrate Peace Day every year and many teachers incorporate Peace education into their school day in various ways. Peace education encourages non-violent conflict resolution and tolerance for others.
• Marcy administrators and behavioral specialists encourage students to problem solve with other students and staff to reach agreements that can improve behavior.

I'd be more interested in discussing what part of my point of view you are not sure is defensible...the "apologia" near the end or the "all spirituality has two base components and if these two aren't reliable then all spiritual systems are not reliable either". Any chance of discussing that?
I left Mormonism because I felt dissatisfied with it, the more I looked at other religions the more I saw the same patterns. The idea that all spirituality has two base components and that these are unreliable came relatively quickly...there's nothing new to that notion, it just doesn't get a lot of attention in my experience. The idea of god simply began to make less sense and there was less of a need for it. I am not a-Mormon, or a-Christian, I am an a-theist. Are you an LDS?
No, I rejected it. I dug deeply enough to find a lot of contradictions in their 'inspired' writings... If there is one thing that God must be, it is consistent. It seems that LDS doctrine changes with each new edition of the Deseret News. They also miserably failed the archaeology test. If the story of the great battle of the Lamanites and the ?????manites were true, then NY state would be knee deep in artifacts. There is also the problem of horses being mentioned in that battle, about a thousand years before they were brought to this country from overseas. Joseph Smith had a great imagination, but was not scholarly enough to cover all the holes in the story.
You postulate that all spirituality has 2 base components...so what? What matters is not how many or what they are, but can we know that they are or not true and reliable?
I tried to find the basis of all spiritual systems to see if spirituality generically makes sense...if it does, then some spiritual system might make sense and it might make sense to explore spirituality to find the correct version. But why practice any religion if the things that can be said of all religions don't make sense. If there is no reason to believe that spirits are in individuals then why worry about your karma, reincarnating, going to hell, heaven, Abraham's bosom, or purgatory? If the things gods do don't need a god to be accomplished: creating, sustaining, and destroying the universe for example, then why worry about god?
These things gods are supposed to do and the things individual's spirits are supposed to do aren't true and reliable, so I don't worry about Jesus being the Messiah, Mohammed a Prophet, Guatamma a Buddha, or Hubbard the revealer of the secrets of Scientology.
You mention that you think you address the historicity argument. I don't think you do. If you take a book like the bible, that writes about people and events thousands of years past, and then modern archaeology continues to dig up artifacts that have confirmed it over and over...how do you discount historicity? Our history, the worlds history, your history, simply 'is'....it happened. The bible and its characters and cities are the same way. Why deny that?
There is no evidence that the Israelites trekked through the desert, modern Egyptology reveals Egypt as a multi-ethnic state with few slaves and modern research by the Jesus Seminar casts informed doubt on the New Testament "history". Even Dr. John McRay interviewed in Strobel's Case for Christ can do no better than "Archaeology has not produced anything that is unequivocally a contradiction to the Bible"(p.134). In context, the paragraph before the one quoted, he is referring to the New Testament not the Old...not to the whole Bible.

Inside 1836, it turned out the website of any ridiculous battle among underneath 190 "Texians" (occupants involving Philippine Texas) and even more as compared to 1, 000 Philippine players. The Texians got the ability challenge journey representatives regarding 13 nights. Around the very last morning, the actual representatives scaled the actual partitioning in addition to wiped out the actual Texian protects – each of them 189.
