Dan Decker, of Aurora, has been named the new superintendent of schools for the Neosho R-5 School District.
Dan Decker, of Aurora, has been named the new superintendent of schools for the Neosho R-5 School District.
Decker, who is currently in his fourth year as superintendent at the Aurora R-8 School District, was selected by the board of education in a 6-0 vote during a closed session meeting on Monday, Dec. 3.
He will begin his duties with the district on July 1, 2013.
"We have spoken with his colleagues, co-workers, subordinates and patrons and the first thing that is readily apparent about Dan in their opinions is that he is a man of integrity," the school board said in a statement.
Decker has worked in education for 21 years, as a teacher, coach, principal and superintendent.
Decker said he has heard good things about the Neosho school district.
"They're on the verge of doing some really good things, it's an exciting time in education and this is a community and an area that can, what I would consider, be a lighthouse in education," Decker said.
Decker is a native of Lockwood, Mo. He and his wife, Jenni, have been married 22 years, and have five children, ages 20, 16,14, 9 and 6. They are also in the process of adopting a daughter from China.
Decker said having children in the school district adds an extra level of accountability for him as superintendent.
"When you bring change or when you do things in the district, there's a little more credibility that comes along with that because you're not going to put your own kids in harm's way," Decker said. "That's allowed me to have some credibility, so I think that's another big piece is just having that representation across the district."
The school district began searching for a new superintendent in June, shortly after former superintendent Richard Page left for a position in the Gravette, Ark., school district.
The school board elected to hire the Missouri School Boards' Association to assist them in the search.
The search drew 28 applicants from six states, and attracted what MSBA consultant Bob Watkins said was an impressive group of applicants.
"It's probably as strong a field as I've seen," Watkins said. "The type of district that Neosho is has caused a lot of interest. It's a great location and people see that."
Brett Day, school board president, expressed on several occasions his desire to make a "home run decision" in the superintendent selection. On Tuesday, Day said he felt the board had done just that.
"Time will tell but I have full confidence in Dan and I think he's going to lead us to some exciting places," Day said. "I think the community is going to like him, I think our staff is going to like him, they're going to respect him and they're going to like what he brings to the table."
Decker said he has several areas he hopes to pursue once he fills his new position, including one-to-one technology and master learning versus seat time, which he said there is currently a big push for in Missouri education.
"I'm excited to begin that here," Decker said.
Day said the progress the Aurora R-8 School District has made was one of the factors that stood out to board members when they made their decision.
"We were also impressed with several initiatives undertaken at Aurora during Dan's tenure in the areas of academic achievement, evaluation and planning, and social issues," the board's statement said.
Following Page's departure, the school board selected former assistant superintendent of curriculum and instruction, Alma Stipp, to fill the superintendent's position for one year.
Stipp will continue in the role until Decker takes over July 1.
Day said the board's decision to appoint Stipp to the position has proved to be the right one.
"She's been fantastic," Day said. "We were very fortunate to have her agree to stay on. This isn't a case of that we're letting a year go by and just trying to tread water, we're moving forward with a lot of things. She's one of the greatest Wildcats there is, is what it comes down to."

Ind vs Aus in T20 matches are always a fire riding ones and this time as India has lost the ODI series in Australia so Indians were in cornered postion to win this T20 series and they made it for Indian cricket team fans. In Ind vs Aus 2nd T20 there were lots of postive stuffs happened for india. Though they missed few catches in the beginning of the match but then they didnt miss any 1% of chance. Dhoni was really calculatable in providing overs to the bowlers, especially when Yuvraj singh came to bowl that will be called as the turning point of the match. Yuvi bowled 2 overs and conceeded only 7 runs and taken a important wicket of Maxwell's stumped by Dhoni, During that wicket celebration both Yuvraj and Dhoni hugged each other and that would be a treat for indian fans after long time. Fans on social media are gone crazy with this win as their team won the series against Aussies in Australia which will remain always special.

NHL CapsulesNHL.com @NHLdotcom
NEWARK, N.J. - Travis Zajac scored the first of his career-best three goals just 12 seconds in, and the New Jersey Devils held on for a 6-3 victory over the Florida Panthers on Monday night after nearly blowing a three-goal lead
Zajac opened the barrage against Dan Ellis and then netted his second midway through New Jersey's three-goal first period. He completed his first NHL hat trick at 9:37 of the third.
Jaromir Jagr had a goal and three assists, and Ryane Clowe added a goal and two assists. Zajac also had an assist for the Devils, who are hoping a late-season rally can get them into the playoffs. New Jersey has seven games left.
Jacob Josefson scored the other Devils goal, and Cory Schneider stopped all 13 Florida shots he faced after replacing Martin Brodeur in the second period when New Jersey's lead was cut to 4-3.
Brodeur stopped only six of nine shots, but was credited with the win.
Dmitry Kulikov, Brad Boyes and Brandon Pirri scored for Florida, which lost for the sixth time in seven games. Ellis faced 32 shots, including 18 in the first period.
OTTAWA, Ontario (AP) ??? Ales Hemsky scored the only goal of the shootout, and Ottawa edged Carolina.
Hemsky fired a shot off the post and into the net behind Cam Ward in the second round to give the Senators their third straight win and fourth in fifth games.
Craig Anderson stopped all three Carolina shooters, including Elias Lindholm with the final attempt, to earn the victory.
Mika Zibanejad scored in regulation for the Senators, and Anderson made 30 saves.
Jeff Skinner had the lone goal for Carolina, which got 28 saves from Ward before the shootout.

Personal Histories: Looking like the enemy
One great thing about visiting small distant communities is that the local bookstores invariably feature publications by local authors. Vashon Island is no exception. In addition to my favorite childhood "egg books" by Betty MacDonald, there are offerings on a more serious vain.
One great thing about visiting small distant communities is that the local bookstores invariably feature publications by local authors. Vashon Island is no exception. In addition to my favorite childhood "egg books" by Betty MacDonald, there are offerings on a more serious vain.
LOOKING LIKE THE ENEMY by Mary Matsuda Gruenewald relates the experiences of Japanese-American family #19788's imprisonment at internment camps during World War II. Mary and her brother Yonechi were born in the US to Japanese immigrant parents who came to the US with the hope of a better life. Before the internment, Mary describes the support and strength of her family unit:
"Although my parents never used the word "love" in Japanese or in English, they clearly communicated it. Their love was the softness around their eyes and the spontaneous smiles that broke on their faces whenever they spoke to us. Papa-san wasn't as verbal as Mama-san, yet he had his own ways of letting us know how much he cherished us. Whenever he had to travel to Seattle for business, be brought each of us our favorite foods; wonderful fruits for me such as persimmons, pomegranates, watermelon and peaches; for Yonechi he brought cakes, pies, cookies and candy. For Mama-san he found special Japanese goodies. My father was like a Japanese Santa, joyfully bringing home enormous overstuffed bags, carrying them long distances on the bus.[...]
In our family we usually did things together, in large part because we lived on a farm that demanded our group effort. Except during the severest winter days, there was almost always something to do outdoors. During the months when it rained daily, we donned our boots and raingear, and trudged outdoors anyway."
Sounds like YOUR ancestor's story doesn't it? How similar we are, and yet how delightful the differences in our cultures.
Although the Matsuda family blended well with the community through school and church attendance, and Mr. Matsuda's raspberry farm business, there were times when they also followed traditions from the old country.
"A few days before January 1 each tear, eight to ten Japanese families on Vashon would come to our home to make mochi, which is steamed rice pounded into cakes. Papa-san had made an osu out of a large tree stump which stood nearly thirty inches high and twenty inches in diameter. He made a smooth bowl in the center of the stump, about sixteen inches wide and fourteen inches deep. For years we used this osu for our annual mochi-making event. Every year Mama-san scrubbed the bowl with a brush and plenty of soap and hot water before the guests arrived."
Yet, Mary's idyllic childhood on her family's Vashon Island raspberry farm abruptly ends as thousands of innocent Japanese Americans were rounded up and sent in filthy, half broken-down rail cars to live in barbed-wire camps following the bombing of Pearl Harbor. She writes "As a carefree teenager about to be thrown in the chaos and devastation of Word War II, I had no idea how these Japanese values would sustain me and my family and give us strength to endure."
Mary recalls her experiences in Tule Lake, Pinedale, Heart Mountain and Minidoka camps. The deprivations, panic, and confusion of this mostly innocent group of Japanese parallels prolonged imprisonment of other groups in other parts of the world throughout time.
It seems the dominate power worries about the loyalties of different ethnic groups in a community. In Pennsylvania in the 1700s my ancestors had to sign "oaths of allegiance" to disprove loyalty to a foreign power. You may have Jewish or African ancestors who suffered starvation, torture and genocide. It seems a never-ending story of pain and there is hardly a corner of the earth that hasn't witnessed such tragedies.
Author Mary provides a bibliography with additional sources, including eye-witness accounts for further study. A brief glossary explains basic terms such as:
- Issei - Japanese who immigrated to and settled in the US.
- Nesei - American-born second generation children of the Issei.
When researching our progenitors, it may not be that any left personal histories. We then look to those eyewitness accounts by others who lived at the same time and in the same place to understand the joys and challenges of life in the community. Check newspapers on microfilmed or the internet for overviews, realizing the editorial board set policy for newspaper reporters subject matter. Old county histories can at least provide a time-line of major events. Then look for those personal histories. There are circumstances your ancestor experienced in his community that otherwise might be lost to the homogenized, politically-correct history books.

Several Bluffton junior golfers were high placers at the Hurricane Junior Golf Tour's Indenti Club Challenge at Palmetto Dunes on Dec. 2. More than 60 players competed across three age divisions in the two-day tournament.
Bryson Nimmer finished third in the boys 15-18 division with a two-round score of 10-over 150. Ewen Ferguson of Scotland, a student at the Junior Players Academy on Hilton Head Island, finished first. Ferguson defeated Philip Loeb in a playoff to win with a 148 and took over the overall points lead on the tour.
Bluffton's Wesley Long finished sixth with a 14-over 154.
Drew and Alec Weary, a pair of brothers from Bluffton, played together in the final pairing Sunday in the boys 11-14 division. Drew Weary finished second with a 14-over 154. Alec was one shot back, placing third with a 155. Zak Butt of Summerville pulled away to win the division with a 5-under 135.
Junior Players Academy students swept the top three spots in the girls 15-18 division. Isidora Quevedo of Chile won with a 10-over 150 and took over the points lead. Anita Uwadia of Lagos, Nigeria, finished 11 over and moved into third in points. Teresa Casasus of Spain was third at 13 over.
Bluffton's Griz takes tournament
Jonathan Griz of Bluffton won the International Junior Golf Tour's "Discovery Tour" event at Old South Golf Links on Dec. 1.
Griz turned nine years old the day of the event and fired a 2-over-par 38. He notched a birdie on the par-3 fourth hole, measuring 125 yards.
The Discovery Tour hosts 9 and 18-hole tournament for ages eight to 12. Players are encouraged to have a caddy during the round. Caddies can carry a participant's bag, assist with rules and offer advice.
Haney students win
at Old South
The International Junior Golf Tour made one of the final stops of the fall at Old South Golf Links on Dec. 2. The 36-hole, nationally ranked junior event featured some of the top junior golfers from around the world.
Matthew Rushton from Cape Town, South Africa, a full-time student at Hank Haney International Junior Golf Academy on Hilton Head Island, fired back-to-back rounds of 70 to win the boys 15-19 division. He edged classmate Mickey Werenski (South Hadley, Mass.) by only four strokes.
Charlie Spencer-White of Bluffton had a two-day total of 4-over 148 to tie for third place.
"There really wasn't anything that stood out (this weekend)," Rushton said. "I just played solid. I made putts. I hit drives in the fairway when I needed to. All in all, I played really solid."
Notably, Rushton and Werenski will be joining Division 1 golf programs in 2013. Rushton recently signed with the Notre Dame and Werenski has signed with Texas A&M.
In the boys under-14 division, Tennoshin Ogawa (Ichinomiya-shi, Japan), also a full-time Hank Haney IJGA student, posted rounds of 74 and 76 to defeat Andrew Spiegler (Abingdon, Va.) by four strokes.
The IJGT finishes the fall season today at Sea Pines on Hilton Head Island with the fifth Annual Hank Haney Invitational. Haney student Rei Nakatani (Tokyo, Japan) won the girls under-19 division with rounds of 78 and 71, slipping past classmate Thamonpat Siriko (Bangkok, Thailand) by one stroke.

Welcome Parents and Guardians! Transitioning from high school to higher education is exciting and terrifying for parents and students alike. Once your family member turns 18, you may no longer contact the Counseling Center or College for progress reports and must rely on second hand information by way of your student, a dramatic shift from the previous K-12 years!
If your student is still in high school, become involved by asking questions of the teachers and counselors and learn what the academic expectations and requirements are for college and university.
Acquiring essential skills in Reading, English, and Mathematics is critical to everyone's success whether it be for the career technical field, the workplace, college or university. Students who continue to sharpen these essential skills during high school transition more easily to college, university, and the work force.
...still in middle school or high school, print out the College Preparation Checklist and place it where your student can see. Next, study the parent information website to discover more ways to guide your student towards higher education.
...currently a senior in the Sweetwater Union High School District, he or she may participate in EAP (Early Admissions Program) at Southwestern College. EAP offers early assessment, orientation and registration to students long before the fall semester begins, and before continuing Southwestern College students register for their classes.
Speak to your high school counselor for exact dates and times or contact the Southwestern College Outreach Office at (619) 482-6518 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Topower Tiger 1200W Power Supply Review
Price: $200.00
Topower Computer Industrial Co Ltd was founded in Taiwan in 1986 with the main aim of manufacturing switch mode power supplies. They have now expanded their operations into Europe, Canada and the USA. To support their international sales growth they have opened up new offices in California to help their push into the American PC market. Computer switched mode power supplies are still the backbone of the Topower business along with a range of computer cases, IPC chassis, server racks and cooling solutions.
The Topower Tiger series of power supplies is a limited range of high power units available with an output power of 1000W, 1200W and 2000W using XLR connectors for the modular cables. The XLR connector has been around for many years and people working in the audio and video fields should already be familiar with this type of connector because it is widely used for professional audio and video electronics cabling applications and especially for microphones. It is strange to find the XLR connector used for carrying DC power but a little research tells me each connector terminal is capable of carrying 7.5A making them more than suitable for this application. It makes the Topower Tiger XLR-Type slightly different from the mainstream ATX power supplies but will it give it the edge? Let's have a look at the Topower Tiger 1200W, what it as to offer and how it performs.
Closer Look:
It is immediately obvious that the packaging of the Topower Tiger 1200W is unlike any other power supply I've reviewed; you'll see what I mean in a moment. The top cover shows a color photograph of the Topower Tiger with modular cables connected along the bottom row and a few short quotes about the power supply from various Website. The bottom edge carries a special edition drawer box, SLID ready and 80 Plus logos along with a small note about the patented XLR modular cables.
The side panels are used to illustrate the box contents and features and include the specification table, cable types and connector quantities.
This is the special edition drawer box which is enclosed by the cardboard sleeve shown above which can easily be removed. You'd be forgiven for thinking this was some cheap gimmick because they are far from it! The drawer unit is really well made with a dark leather effect, stitched seams and metal drawer handles that should last for years. A small clue as to the origin of this power supply can be seen in the bottom left hand corner of the photograph on the right - Tagan.
Drawer units slightly withdrawn to give a sneak preview of the contents.
The lower larger drawer holds the bubble wrapped power supply and smaller top drawer contains the modular cables and accessories.
Power supply, user manual, modular cables and a power cord make up the main accessories in addition to the items shown below.
Cable management is made a little easier with the inclusion of five colored Velcro straps and a couple of small black cable ties along with power supply mounting screws. The four black adapters shown below are SATA to 4 pin peripheral adapters should the three included on the power supply not be enough.
The Topower Tiger 1200W XLR packaging is of the highest quality and the included drawer unit is a nice addition which not only removes the need for a modular cable bag but also provides somewhere to store all those important little pieces. The accessories bundle provides everything that is needed for a successful build including a well written and comprehensive user manual. Let's move on and take a closer look at the power supply.

Before you cooled out, before your flashes were hot, before you disqoed, and well before the days of the hipster rsvp, there was FEVER.
FEVER was started many moons ago at The Cavern by DJ MŮDI with a shitty Peavy PA system, one home stereo bass speaker (that would cut off when it got too hot), and a laptop that crashed two years later. DJ MŮDI can say that he was one of the first DJs in Dallas to play his sets through his laptop before the hipster revolution caught on to this.
MŮDI decided to change the name of the night up to UP! because the owner didn't like FEVER. After one year UP! became FEVER again, and the rest is history. Well, almost. We haven't even touched on Macho yet.
DJ MŮDI kept it going for about 1 year before bringing on his partner DJ EL MACHO. He invited Macho in for a guest appearance in the summer of 2005, and a remarkable partnership was born. Soon people caught wind, and the duo was moved to Fridays. MŮDI and Macho left The Cavern for Fallout Lounge in the summer of 2006 for a three year run of legendary nights which put Fallout Lounge on the map. MŮDI & Macho decided it was time to shift gears in July of 2009, and brought the night to a close. But like Brett Favre, they just don't know when to say "enough is enough". So, FEVER returned for a short run at a spot in Oak Cliff called Tradewinds Social Club. While the FEVER name might disappear, you can be sure that
MŮDI and Macho will still be seen around town playing music that people like to hear.

It is inevitable that librarians would jump on Quiet by Susan Cain. This bestseller traces the role of introverts in American society. Having a good character and reputation was once the highest goal one could aspire to. That is, until the cult of personality gradually began to take over – with the rise of Dale Carnegie and commercial advertisements.
The book (and audiobook) is an empowering treatise for those who have grown up with teachers, relatives and strangers criticizing the natural tendencies of the non-extrovert.
Cain says their reserve and solitary nature are qualities that brand them as those possessing "a second-class personality trait, somewhere between a disappointment and a pathology." It turns out that these are actually strengths, and they should be celebrated, rather than be regarded with suspician. Introverts have the ability to concentrate for long periods of time, making them good inventors, researchers, musicians, scientists and writers.
The American Library Association blog, Shelf Renewal, blogged about Cain recently. In the post, Introverts Rising, they categorize literature's most famous characters as either introverts or extroverts. (Howard Roark is an introvert; Tom Sawyer is the ultimate extrovert).

text: Ukrainian sanctions enacted against certain banks with Russian capital - changes in foreign currency regulation Banking Alert Share this 17 MAR 2017 By: Oleksandr Kurdydyk On March 16, 2017, Ukrainian President signed a decree approving the decision allowing the National Security and Defense Council (NSDC) and the National Bank of Ukraine to impose sanctions against Ukrainian banks funded by Russian state capital. Those subject to the sanctions are prohibited in carrying out any financial transactions in favor of their affiliated entities, in particular their parent structures. In addition, the decree imposes a ban on certain other transactions, including: Direct and indirect conduct of any active transactions (providing interbank loans, deposits, subordinated debts, purchase of securities and placement of funds on correspondent accounts) Payment of dividends, interest, repayment of interbank loans/deposits, funds from correspondent accounts and subordinated debt Distribution of profits and capital In addition, the NSDC banned the placement of funds of state companies from the sanctions list and now allows the Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs the choice to offer relevant authorities of foreign countries to introduce similar sanctions against these banks. The sanctions, however, do not prohibit settlements between residents of Ukraine and their counterparties who have accounts in the parent country. The restrictions will neither affect the fulfillment by Ukrainian banks with Russian state capital of their obligations towards their clients and depositors. The sanctions have been imposed on the following banks: Sberbank, VTB Bank, Prominvestbank, BM Bank and VS Bank. The National Bank has approved a decision to simplify the procedure of foreign currency purchase under certain transactions. This new process applies to the purchase of foreign currency for credit funds in UAH raised under the state guarantees and aimed at the fulfilment of initiatives related to the improvement of state defense and security, as well as in respect of repatriation by foreign investors of interest earned on the investment account balance. The respective changes are provided for by the Resolution of the Board of the National Bank of Ukraine "On Introduction of Changes to Some Regulations of the National Bank of Ukraine" dated 14 March 2017 No. 22 which took force on 16 March 2017.

There is a mitzvah, or commandment, in Judaism for men to wear to fringes on a four-cornered garment. In the modern age, it is uncommon for people to wear this type. So in order to fulfill this mitzvah, men wear a garment on themselves known as Tzitzit and attach fringes with the same name to the garment. In addition to this, men also wear a four-cornered garment called a Tallis during prayer services. There are different types of Tallitot and the most common of these Tallitot is the traditional Tallit.
More than the Tallit itself are actually the fringes, tzitzit and techelet, attached to the tallit at its four corners. White or white and blue, these fringes are called Tzitzit and they are as reminders of the Covenant between man and God, a sign of commitment to following and keeping the Mitzvot and commandments in one's life. The fringes are made of refine wool and will often say if the man wearing them is of Sephardic or Ashkenazi community and reflect his level of observance. Thin tzitzit will be a better choice for Tallit Katan, whereas on Tallit Gadol, both are fine. Thin Tzitzit are often machine-spun (machine-made), while thick tzitzit are handmade, and also called 'Avodat Yad'. In traditional Orthodox congregations, thick tzitzit are the norm. Among the Modern Orthodox, you will see both, although thick tzitzit are probably more common.
There are three main shitot (methods) how to wrap the strings: Ra'avad, Rambam and Radzyner to tying the techelet and tzitzit strings. To learn more about these methods read our more detailed article on Tzitzit & tekhelet.
The traditional Tallit is made from wool – usually Turkish wool – because it is considered to be one of the highest quality wools available. In addition, this Tallis is typically large enough to cover the head and most of the body. The traditional Tallit is typically worn with the top covering the head and then rest of the garment draped over the body, covering the shoulders and back. This Tallit typically has stripes that are usually black, blue or white; although it is possible to find Tallitot with stripes in gold, maroon or silver. The striping pattern is based on Jewish heritage and tradition with typical traditional designs being Chabad, Ashkenaz, Sefard and Yemenite. Learn more about the Tallit, tzitzit, attarah and how to wear it in our ultimate tallit guide that will shed light on this garment and meaning. Learn more about Tallit Katan and Tallit Gadol, as well as the difference between Sephardic and Ashkenazi Tallit in our article about tallis, on OyVey, our Jewish blog.
In terms of the Tzitzit strings, there are several options available. Although the traditional Tallis usually comes with strings tied to the corners, it is possible to purchase a Tallit without strings. Many Jewish men will replace the strings with a different, often much nice, set of tzitzit strings. The strings are usually thick or thin with the thicker strings also being considerably. In addition, it is possible to purchase Tallitot with the Techelet string attached. The tradition of how the strings are tied vary and thus it is possible to find Tallitot with Tzitzit tied in different ways such as Rashi, Arizal, Rambam, Ra'avad, to name a few. Finally, the corners of the Tallis are usually strengthened with an extra piece of cloth attached. This prevents the Tzitzit from tearing Tallit due to wear and subsequently falling off.
If you would like to personalize your Tallit, there are several options available. One of the simplest options is to have your name sewn into the top of the Tallit. Another option is to attach an Atara – which is a piece of cloth that is attached to the top edge of Tallitot. The Atara usually has silver links attached to it or is made of silk and depicts something related to Judaism. Sterling silver Ataras are usually made of silver links which are usually square or shield shaped. The links are sewn into the Atara and can be patterned to create flowers or diamonds. Silver ataras usually depict Jerusalem or something related to Judaism.
Tallit Guide
One of the most well known Judaica items that can be found in a synagogue other than Torahs and prayer books is the Tallit, also known as the prayer shawl.
What is a Tallit?
A Tallit is large four cornered garment that is worn by Jewish men during prayers during the week, Shabbat and Jewish Holidays. The Tallit is typically made from wool and is dyed white. It can actually be made of other material as well, although it may never be made from a combination of wool and linen due to a Biblical prohibition wearing such cloth. Depending on the community, the Tallit may be worn from the age of 7, Bar Mitzvah or after marriage. In some communities, the Tallit is also used in a wedding ceremony, being worn by the groom or used as the canopy used in the Chuppah service.
Sizes & Decorations
Tallits vary in size as they are designed to fit each person. The size also depends on the sect of Judaism as there are two different ways to wear a Tallit. The first style is to wear the Tallit as if it were a scarf. This style is popular in Reform, Reconstructionist and some Conservative groups of Jews. The other style is the traditional one in which the wearer folds the sides over the shoulders. This style is used by Orthodox, Traditiona/Masorati and Conservative Jews. The traditional Tallit tends to be larger than its modern counterpart. The sizes are as follows:
|Body Type
|19 x 61
|46 x 153
|5 ft.
|Bar Mitzvah
|18 x 73
|46 x 153
|Under 6
|Tall Bar Mitzvah
|23 x 73
|56 x 183
|6 ft.
|Around 6 ft.
|26 x 73
|66 x 183
|6 ft.
|Adult 6 ft.
|37 x 73
|92 x 183
|Over 6 ft.
|Large Adult
|24 x 79
|61 x 199
|Over 6 ft.
|Adult, thin, 6 ft.
|28 x 79
|69 x 199
|Over 6 ft.
|Adult large, 6 ft.
Traditional Style Tallit Sizes:
|Type of Person
|37 x 72
|92 x 183
|5 ft.
|Bar Mitzvah
|44 x 73
|111 x 183
|5.5 ft.
|Tall Bar Mitzvah
|55 x 73
|138 x 183
|Under 6 ft.
|61 x 79
|153 x 199
|Over 6 ft.
|Large Adult
|73 x 85
|183 x 214
|Over 6 ft.
|Extra Large Adult
The second decoration found in all Tallitot is stripes that run along the sides. The stripes can be nearly any color, but are usually blue, black or white. However, they may be other colors such as green and red. Some Tallitot are multicolored, having stripes in numerous colors and is meant to echo Joseph's coat. Other common decorations on the Tallit's top edge and sides are views of Jerusalem, the Seven Species.
In addition to having stripes and a decorated top edge, some Tallits have a specially made Atara, or "tiara" in English. The Atara is a long piece of cloth that usually features sterling silver decorations, typically plates in triangles, squares or stitched sterling silver thread that creates a floral pattern. The Atara, while not a required part of the Tallit, is very popular amongst many groups of Jews.
The Tallit typically comes with strings tied to each of its corners. The strings tied to the corners follow the same rules as those on Tzitzit and may be tied in several different ways, keeping in line with the valid rulings issued by past Jewish leaders such as Rashi, Rambam (Maimonides), Arizal and others. In addition, one may tie strings with Techelet to its corners just like by Tzitzit.

Shame on you, Mr. Eddie Dixon!
Shame on you, Mr. Eddie Dixon!
The new superintendent appears to have a personal agenda � not in the best interest of the students!
Mr. Dixon reassigns competent and effective principal at Bethlehem School without just cause or explanation.
Parents, teachers, and students were surprised and disappointed to unexpectedly learn of a change in administrative assignments given to Mr. (Zeb) Brown, Principal of Bethlehem School. This decision was made at the School Board Meeting on Tuesday night, Dec. 11th, with little or no discussion, when Mr. Dixon asked school board members to vote for the �lateral transfer� of Mr. Brown to another position in the District Offices.
In an unannounced and spontaneous meeting held Wednesday morning at Bethlehem School, Mr. Dixon�s only response to his decision was simply that he could not say. When asked for any further explanation � there was none he could give. No listed improvements were given and no investigative measures are being taken. This decision appears to be made solely based on self-interest measures of Mr. Dixon.
Through an uphill battle, and despite personal attacks from a small group of individuals, Mr. Brown has consistently held teachers, staff members and himself at Bethlehem School more accountable to their jobs � expecting higher performance levels in what they are being paid to do. For approximately 95 percent of the staff, this new standard has been welcomed, supported and appreciated. Evidence and statistics of improvement in student performance and academic effectiveness is already being seen.
Mr. Brown has consistently shown a genuine interest in the success of the students at Bethlehem School and has gone to great lengths to help provide the best academic opportunities possible for our students. In addition, he has opened the door to parents and interested community members who have skills and talents � helping to provide additional learning and educational opportunities in a friendly environment for our students.
Mr. Brown has taken an individual interest in student�s lives � including those coming from less supportive and challenging home environments � holding them accountable to a higher standard and personally encouraging them to step up to their full potential. His personal interest in their lives is beginning to help them make better choices and is making a difference in their lives. Mr. Brown holds an individual interest in each student�s life and success in part because of his own personal experience and past. His commitment has not waivered and runs deep.
Mr. Brown responded to some of those who stood at his side through this ordeal. A portion of this response shows his continued commitment to the students:
�While the change in career paths is difficult, I am open to the challenge that has been set before me . . . I will never waiver in my hopes for Bethlehem and all schools in our district. The hope that one day students will have all the opportunities they deserve and for those students whose everyday is a struggle � to realize the power to change their situation is already a power they own . . . I believe in this God divine power because I am a product of it � it was only through education and the witness of good teachers and mentors that I am who I am today . . . I know the heart of Bethlehem; we once dug deep and found it. We are on the edge of doing that once again . . . Look at what has transpired already. Be joyous in those triumphs. . . You are people of great gifts, gifts that are meant to be shared. God brought us all together for a reason and maybe for just this time. I believe the table is ready and He is waiting for it to be set. Now is the time not to walk away from the table but to invite all those who would come.�
In conclusion, I want to publicly let it be known that in all of my dealings with Mr. Brown, I have seen him to be an honorable and upstanding man, one with integrity in both word and deed. I have a personal appreciation for the God-fearing man that he is and I am aware of his consistent prayers for guidance for the welfare of our students and school. I feel it would be a great loss, not only to our students but to our entire community to no longer have Mr. Brown as the principal at Bethlehem School. It seems that a superintendent who truly cares about the students in their school district would not only recognize, but appreciate and support a principal who is working hard to bring about good and bless the lives of so many students.

It was just last week when officials at the state's health insurance exchange, Covered California, gave the green light to Obama impersonator Iman Crosson to come up with a rap song to sell young people on the virtues of Obamacare. The turnaround was going to be quick.
The 31-year-old actor began scrolling for beats that might work with President Obama's "flow, his cadence, his pauses," Crosson said — traits he has perfected after performing as Obama for years. With some help from comedy writers, he began writing lyrics against the melody of a Snoop Dogg song; after two hours in the studio, Obama doppelganger "B-Rock O'Beezy" was born, jamming to what might be the first rap song about preexisting conditions.
The video released Thursday was the first of many in a multiphase social media campaign that will be financed by Covered California, other state partners like Kentucky and Connecticut, and the Obama-allied group Enroll America. With the launch, fueled by tweets from celebrities like pop singer Adam Levine and actor Wilmer Valderrama, officials hope to capture the attention of young adults and entice them to sign up for insurance in their states under the president's healthcare law.
The campaign, a corollary to White House efforts to work with Hollywood, deliberately skims over the fraught politics of Obamacare — aiming instead to tout the law's benefits through 100 million friend-to-friend contacts, driven by celebrity flash. Crosson set that tone in the video, which was first posted Thursday morning for his 550,000 YouTube subscribers: "Don't try to talk about my plan like the people haven't wanted this; they've waited long for this," Crosson raps in the video. "Take it easy, and rock to this jam from B-Rock O'Beezy."
PHOTOS: The battle over Obamacare
"If you need that new healthcare, sign up cause it's hot," he adds. "Don't stand and diddle, my healthcare's the shizzle. It's chock full of top-notch healthcare provizzles. We'll cover all your vizzles, your dizzles and your tizzles."
Asked what provisions of the Affordable Care Act involved those "vizzles" and "dizzles," Crosson laughed. "There is no definition — that line was supposed to intentionally make people kind of giggle and go 'what does that mean?'" he said. He wrote the lyric, he said, to get conversations going. "It actually doesn't mean anything — but it will get your brain going.... Gotcha."
Since spring, the White House has been collaborating with celebrities like Jennifer Hudson and Amy Poehler, as well as the comedy website Funny or Die, on projects to engage that elusive group of 18- to 34-year-olds who must sign up in order for the insurance program to succeed. During the launch of the enrollment period this fall, many of Obama's celebrity allies, including Lady Gaga and Connie Britton, posed for pro-Obamacare Twitter and Instagram snapshots urging young people to "#GetCovered."
But after the troubled rollout of the federal exchange that is the main sign-up vehicle in 36 states, California and other states that have more successfully enrolled residents are taking the lead. Before the Dec. 23 deadline for health insurance coverage that begins Jan. 1, those states will be pushing out daily missives from celebrities like Tatyana Ali of "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" and Fran Drescher from "The Nanny." In mid-January, initiative leaders plan to host an eight-hour live-streamed session featuring actors and athletes, as well as noncelebrities, explaining why they needed health insurance.
"Those under 30 live and breathe social media — they live Twitter, they live Facebook," said Peter Lee, executive director of Covered California.
Though research has indicated strong demand for health insurance among younger adults, some recent studies have shown that many are unsure about the law and whether it will help them. A poll by the Harvard Institute of Politics showed that the millennial generation — once strong supporters of the healthcare law — have become increasingly skeptical of its benefits. A Kaiser Family Foundation survey of uninsured Californians showed demand for health insurance among young adults, but an erroneous belief among many that they won't qualify for subsidies.
The new social media campaign, Lee said, offers an opportunity to tackle those misconceptions.
"Polling about the law is really not that relevant," Lee said. Young people aren't "voting about the law. What they're doing is walking down the street scared because they don't have insurance, and they know that they're an accident away from being in debt."
"If you put before young people what insurance costs them, what they get — they want to buy," he said.

If they were willing to do the work on that, there's no reason to believe they weren't willing to do the work on integrating Google's code.
Except that indicates the *logical* conclusion that trying to adopt the chromium code would be... wait for it... *too much effort*.
I brought this up before. If WebKit's engineers wanted this, and had the resources for it, AND HAD THE CODE AVAILABLE FOR IT (FFS people), then how on earth is it political (on Google's end) that the WebKit guys decided to not use the chromium code?
Occam is standing right there.
That very statement doesn't make sense.
It only doesn't make sense if you focus entirely on what the license permitted and completely ignore the collaborative relationships surrounding WebKit.
The collaborative relationship is *precisely* that if WebKit wanted to do this, they could do it. That's precisely why chromium made this source open. That's precisely why the platform layer work *exists* FFS.
This only makes sense if you take Google at its word that a fork was necessary because maintaining support for two multiprocess models was technically infeasible.
The onus is on you to show it's not. You have engineers saying it was more effort than they were willing to invest in. You have to show that that's not the case. Here's a hint *you can't*. Why? Because Google simply may have had all the engineers locked up in work they considered more important. They may literally have had no time in their schedules. Thus, if there was *any* cost to this (which you must accept that there is), then it would be reasonable on a *technical* level for G to find this work too costly.

We all had lots of fun joking that Pittsburgh was a bankrupt urban hellscape, but at least the city could afford to throw its hockey team a victory parade. Los Angeles? They think they left their wallet in another state.
It took two days for the L.A. City Council to decide that yes, indeed, the Lakers will get a parade to celebrate their NBA Championship. (You mean it didn't already happen?) But only after they managed to round up enough private donors to reimburse the city for its cost. You know, since the the whole state of California is essentially a bankrupt suburban hellscape. Hmmm, I thought the
Terminator guy who made Red Sonja was taking care of all that.
Rich people ... is there anything they can't do?
Anyway, head on down to the Staples Center tomorrow morning at 11 and watch Adam Morrison do a little dance. Suggested donation: $11 billion dollars. (Hey, it's for teachers.)

I don't know about you, but I always find it strange to see someone I know as one thing to be another. It's like when Michael Jordan played with the Washington Wizards after winning six championships with the Chicago Bulls. It's just weird. Speaking of which, hi, Robin Scherbatzky Cobie Smulders! Good to see you back on television, gurrrl. It was odd to see Robin Scherbatsky kick butt against US special forces though. Then again, she is Canadian. Friggin' Canucks. Wait. I'm doing it again. Say it with me: Maria Hill, Maria Hill, Maria Hill. In all (or at least... continue reading
I thought this most recent episode was gonna be a disappointment. The previews suggested that Red's world would crumble dramatically. This did not happen - in the least. Did I misunderstand the previews? Possibly, but most of this episode, while solid, was disappointing on the whole. Even worse, I thought, I wasn't going to have anything to write about after this episode - just another blasé episode from a show that has been trending towards mediocrity for a while now. Wow was I wrong on that count. In the final 15 minutes, we had anti-gun comments and the topic of... continue reading
Parks and Recreation finished up season 6 in style last night. In case you missed it, I reviewed Michelle Obama's (FLOTUS!) performance in another post. So no bama stuff here. (Teehee. I'm so clever, aren't I?) In any hour long episode, which is an eternity for a this type of comedy show, there are bound to be up and downs, and this one was no different. So here's your comprehensive, money-back-guarantee rundown of the good, the bad, and the ugly. THE GOOD Jon Hamm. Jon Hamm. Jon Hamm. Other than Jon Hamm, who both deservedly gets the first three places... continue reading
Parks and Recreation closed out their season last night with a star-studded bang. * From musicians I had never heard of before but assume have some cache (here's lookin' at you, Kay Hanley ), to Jon Hamm, to THE FLOTUS, Michelle Obama. Btw, is there a better acronym than FLOTUS? I mean, other than MRC , of course. I'll be the first to admit that, as president, I don't like Barack Obama's celebrity status. I like my political leaders to be refined, dignified and sophisticated. I'd rather them not be pals with athletes, musicians, and actors. Sophistication commands respect -... continue reading
"I'll take 'Explicit Media Bias" for $500, Alex." On the April 23 "Jeopardy," a reporter for The New York Times actually admitted that it was part of his job to "annoy" Representative Darrell Issa, R-Calif. The admission came as a $2000 dollar question under the category "Man of the House" about House Representatives. In the video question, New York Times reporter Eric Lichtblau introduces himself and asks: "This California Republican who chairs the House Oversight & Government Reform Committee has been called Obama's Annoyer-In-Chief, & it seems I provide the same service for him ." Continues after the video ... continue reading
Nothing says "Happy Easter" like debuting a show filled with sex, Satanism and forced abortion. WGN America's drama " Salem " debuted Easter Sunday, showcasing a forced abortion by witchcraft in return for "all the world." Taking place in 17 th century Massachusetts , " Salem " delves into the town's notorious witch trials while exploring who the real witches are – sex, nudity and devil worshipping included . The show, rated for mature audiences , stars Janet Montgomery, Shane West and Seth Gabel. Beginning with a flashback, " Salem " opens by explaining the demise – or rather creation... continue reading
(Trigger warning: sexual assault) Buckle up, folks; this is gonna be a tough one. Tuesday's episode of NCIS addressed the topic of sexual assault in the military. At times, the dialogue came off as a bit preachy, but overall, I applaud the writers of NCIS for choosing to address this growing problem . I appreciated the way NCIS portrayed the junior officer who'd been sexually assaulted. She doesn't want to press charges, she changes her story, and she runs the gamut of emotions from fear to anger to suspicion. I liked the fact that she admitted to having been out... continue reading
They say honesty is the best policy, but whoever said that probably didn't have an article or blog to write and zero inspiration. With that said, welcome to one of my best blog posts ever. The problem is that I can't ignore last night's episode of SHIELD . It featured important new information as well as a constant stream of tension that succeeded in continuing SHIELD 's newfound quality. I could easily bullet point the necessary information for you, but let me tell you, bullet points aren't sexy; I don't care what they say in Bullet Points 101. The big... continue reading
How dare you, SNL! That was insulting, and I'm sick of it. Screw off. Do I sound mad? Well, I'm mad – hopping mad at that opening sketch. It was distasteful, disingenuous, and disgusting. Does the left really think that little of us? Do they really look down at us as if we are stupid? No, I don't mean Republicans. I already know that's how the left thinks about Republicans. That's old news. I'm talking about SNL's portrayal of 18-29 year olds – me and my fellow Millennials. "...we can help job creators get you guys off this lawn and... continue reading
Well, they finally did it. Marvel's Agents of SHIELD finally combined an interesting television show (the show has been steadily building up steam so to speak) and the full force of the Marvel world. Sure, we've had a Nick Fury appearance before (when the show was middling at beast), an Asgardian appearance, and alien technology (those last two felt like Marvel tag-alongs). I don't know about you, but my head is still spinning from the fakes and feints of this last episode. I'll try not to spoil it for you if you haven't watched, but suffice to say I did... continue reading

NEW YORK, Oct. 24, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bandages are known for bringing comfort, healing and smiles to children with cuts and scrapes. Now, thanks to a new program being launched by Ouchies Bandages, bandages may also bring something much more to the many children affected by pediatric cancer – through a new contest designed to raise money for three national pediatric cancer organizations.
As part of its "Ouchies for Others" program, Ouchies Bandages has just announced a new Bandage Art contest to help raise money in the fight against pediatric cancer. The contest gives kids the chance to design their own Ouchies bandages and tell their own story about the fight against pediatric cancer or anything else uplifting - with the chance to have their designs featured in the new "Ouchies for Others" bandages and tin to be released in 2013.
The "Ouchies for Others" Bandage Art Contest is open to kids 18 and younger. To participate in the contest, a design template and further instructions for submitting entries can be found at www.ouchiesonline.com/bandage-art-contest. All entries will be displayed on Ouchies' Facebook page, where fans will vote for their favorite entries by "liking" the bandage designs. 10 finalists will be chosen, and five winners will have their designs featured on the new "Ouchies for Others" bandages and tin, which will be released in 2013. The deadline for entries is January 25th.
Through the "Ouchies for Others" program, Ouchies gives 100% of profits to varied not-for-profit organizations – with all profits from the sale of these new bandages going to three national pediatric cancer organizations. Earlier this year, Ouchies launched its first "Ouchies for Others" program with a contest designed to help combat bullying.
"This line of bandages is all about inspiring kids to help other kids and what better of a way than to let kids design the bandages themselves?" says Ian Madover, President of Ouchies. "What makes it all even better is that 100% of the profits from the sale of these bandages will benefit such important organizations in the fight against pediatric cancer, with this program raising money for the Childhood Leukemia Foundation, Cookies for Kids' Cancer, and the American Childhood Cancer Organization®."
According to the National Cancer Institute, on average, 1 to 2 children out of every 10,000 in the United States develop cancer each year. What's really special about the Ouchies Bandage Art Contest is that everyone wins in the fight against Pediatric Cancer – with children having the opportunity to help others while participating in this unique contest, and money being raised for such an important cause.
"The contest is designed to raise awareness about this disease and to raise the money to help find a cure," says Jennifer Saporta, Director of Sales & Marketing at Ouchies. "If the Bandage Art Contest can put a smile on one face or allow a kid to tell his/her story through a bandage design, Ouchies has made a difference."
The Childhood Leukemia Foundation, Cookies for Kids' Cancer, and the American Childhood Cancer Organization® will be promoting the contest on their web sites. According to Kim Wetmore, Director at the Childhood Leukemia Foundation, "Last year more than 12,000 children were diagnosed with pediatric cancer. Childhood Leukemia Foundation (CLF) is dedicated to making a difference in lives of these children. CLF is honored to partner with Ouchies Bandages to work together raising awareness and bringing smiles to many little faces."
Ouchies asks, "Can a Bandage Help to Cure Cancer?" and answers emphatically, "Yours can!"

HARRISBURG — Three cheers for transparency.
HARRISBURG — Three cheers for transparency.
A national organization has recognized Pennsylvania for having one of the most transparent state governments in the country.
Sunshine Review, a nonprofit dedicated to increasing transparency and accountability in state and local governments, released its annual report card.
Pennsylvania was one of five states tied for the highest overall grade — a B — and got an A for state-level transparency.
Only California, Illinois, Maryland and Washington matched Pennsylvania's marks.
The high grade for the Keystone State was due, in part, to the launch of a new website listing all state contracts, expenses and other uses of taxpayer funds — including pay for all state employees.
Good grades for Pennsylvania's five largest city governments helped the state achieve the overall high rank, Barnhart said.
The new website is the most visible and interactive part of Pennsylvania's recent climb toward improved transparency. Gov. Tom Corbett called "PennWatch" a "historic leap forward" during a news conference in December.
But there is always work to be done, said Barry Kauffman, executive director of Common Cause Pennsylvania, a government reform group.
He agreed that PennWatch was a "big step forward" but said loopholes in the state's Right-to-Know Law should be closed.
Kauffman has seen the state change quite a bit in the past decade. He said Pennsylvania had some of the worst transparency laws in the nation before 2006.
Pennsylvania has overhauled its open records law and passed a sunshine law requiring government officials at all levels to give residents access to the decision-making.

April 17, 2012
Ten years of relationship-building and partnership between Regent University and South African businesses, churches and organizations are reaping extensive dividends across the board today.
"I cannot overemphasize the significance of Regent's success in South Africa," said Julianne Cenac, assistant vice president for professional and continuing education at Regent.
The success she's referring to includes partnership with one of the nation's largest churches, Grace Bible in Soweto, South Africa (pastored by esteemed evangelical leader, Pastor Mosa Sono), and training programs for South Africa's current and future business leaders.
"As a result of dedicated Global Leadership & Entrepreneurship faculty over many years and the recent program leadership of John Jones '10 (Global Leadership & Entrepreneurship), Regent's Professional & Continuing Education (PCE) division in South Africa is poised to grow at levels we could not have predicted," Cenac said.
John Jones , PCE's program manager on the ground in South Africa, has been busy facilitating strategic connections, as well as marketing PCE programs in leadership development for government agencies, churches and other organizations there.
On a recent trip to South Africa, Cenac joined Dr. Antipas Harris, assistant professor in the School of Divinity, and Dr. Corné Bekker, professor in the School of Global Leadership & Entrepreneurship (GLE), at Grace Bible Church for the second annual Christian Leadership Conference. This year, the two-day event drew more than 5,000 people each day for leadership training and teaching.
Bekker also had the opportunity to preach at Grace Bible for their Sunday service before a congregation of 17,000 people across 12 church campuses.
Partnership with Grace Bible means that Regent is establishing more programs like the Christian Leadership Conference and helping to train South African entrepreneurs and business leaders from a holistic, Christian perspective. It also means that Regent will attract some of South Africa's best and brightest to its academic degree programs—including several prominent CEOs as potential MBA students. Regent has similar partnerships with Hatfield Christian Church in Pretoria, and Lewende Woord (Living Word), in Brummeria, two other influential congregations in South Africa.
Also during the trip, Cenac, Bekker and Harris held a two-day training conference called the Empowerment Academy Conference for Future Business Leaders, in partnership with the Black Economic Empowerment (BEE) initiative—an organization purposed to close the economic equality gap between Caucasian and black South Africans.
They trained 85 emerging business leaders from some of the most prominent companies in South Africa. A number of Regent GLE students worked as facilitators for the event.
Regent's work with the BEE initiative culminated in a visit by Regent president, Dr. Carlos Campo, who spent several days in March meeting with Pastor Mosa Sono and also with leaders of the BEE.
"Because [South African] businesses are required to spend a certain amount each year on BEE initiatives, including training and further education, Regent can become a trusted provider of transformative education in the days ahead," wrote President Campo on his trip blog.
In addition to the conferences and leadership training programs being implemented with church and non-government organization entities, Regent is also fostering relationships with major corporate bodies in South Africa to provide values-based leadership training. From international food franchises and rugby teams to one of the world's biggest diamond distributors, PCE is making strides toward training and mentorship.
"What excites me most," Cenac said, "is that this is only the beginning."

I'm so glad I joined this forum..I've had so many questions lately, and you mamas have been great! My latest is about iron-fortified cereals. My DD has her 6 month old checkup this week, and I know the issue of iron is going to come up. Her doc is very supportive of breastfeeding, but I remember him mentioning something at her last appointment about recent studies that say that if babies don't get enough iron early on after the 6th month mark, there can be brain development delays that they won't ever catch up from. We got onto another topic, and I forgot to ask where I could find the study. Does anyone know anything about this? I am a vegetarian, and my iron was a little low during pregnancy, so I took iron supplements. My hemoglobin was good post partum though, and I've been taking care to eat lots of iron-rich foods.
I'm more interested in doing the BLW approach, so I'm not that thrilled about the idea of introducing rice cereal. Can I get others' take on this issue? Any links to published research would also be greatly appreciated. I want to be well-informed by the time Friday rolls around!
I should mention that we haven't started solids yet. She's still EBF. Thanks!
