The decriminalization of medical marijuana in Colorado led to a marked increase in accidental ingestions of the substance among young children, a retrospective, single-center study showed.
During 5 years preceding October 2009, when the Justice Department determined that medical marijuana users would no longer be prosecuted, there were no cases of marijuana ingestion among children younger than 12 in a Colorado children's hospital (0%, 95% CI 0 to 0.6), according to George Sam Wang, MD, of the Rocky Mountain Poison and Drug Center in Denver, and colleagues.
But between 2009 and 2011, 14 of 588 accidental ingestions were marijuana-related (2.4%, 95% CI 1.4 to 4, P<0.001), the researchers reported online in JAMA Pediatrics.
In 2001, the state of Colorado opened a registry of medical marijuana users, and the total number of individuals enrolled now stands at 89,000.
The number of enrollees rose sharply following the policy shift by the federal government, with 60,000 registry identification cards being issued in 2009 alone compared with only 2,000 in the preceding 8 years.
"Historically, significant effects following unintentional pediatric marijuana ingestions were very rare, probably due to the poor palatability of the marijuana plant and the enforcement of existing drug laws," Wang and colleagues wrote.
However, today's medical marijuana products typically have higher levels of the active compound tetrahydrocannabinol than the plant itself, and often are sold as palatable products such as baked goods, candies, and soft drinks.
To see if these changes increased the likelihood of children being exposed and sickened, the researchers reviewed the emergency department (ED) records at a tertiary-care center.
Between January 2005 and September 2009, a total of 790 children were evaluated for possible toxic ingestions, they found. More than half were boys and the mean age was 2.6 years. There were no accidental marijuana-related ingestions in this cohort.
Children worked up for accidental ingestions between October 2009 and December 2011 ranged in age from 8 months to 12 years with a median of 2.3 years, and two-thirds of the 588 patients were boys.
Symptoms of accidental marijuana ingestion among the 14 patients confirmed by urine toxicology included sleepiness and lethargy, ataxia in one case, and respiratory insufficiency in one severe case.
The diagnostic workup often was extensive and included blood tests, imaging studies such as CT scans of the head, and lumbar punctures.
Five children were kept in the ED for observation, and eight were admitted to the hospital. In seven of the cases, exposure involved a medical marijuana-containing food product.
Compared with the 93% of children who were either kept in the ED for observation or admitted to the hospital in this series, only 1.3% of children younger than 5 required hospitalization after any acute poisoning nationally in 2010.
"This suggests that recent marijuana exposures are associated with more significant clinical effects than are typically reported with poisoning exposures in young children," the researchers observed.
In an accompanying editorial, William Hurley, MD, of Washington Poison Center in Seattle and Suzan Mazor, MD, of Seattle Children's Hospital, noted that ED staff and primary care clinicians need to be increasingly attentive to possible problems in recognizing and managing marijuana toxicity in children.
"Signs and symptoms can include anxiety, hallucinations, panic episodes, dyspnea, chest pain, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, somnolence, central nervous system depression, respiratory depression, and coma. Similar signs and symptoms occur in a large variety of diseases and poisoning," Hurley and Mazor wrote.
Wang and colleagues also noted that there are currently no requirements for labeling or child-resistant packaging or storing of medical marijuana products, further increasing the need for clinician awareness of the potential hazards.
"Physicians, especially in states that have decriminalized medical marijuana, need to be cognizant of the potential for marijuana exposures and be familiar with the symptoms of marijuana ingestion," the researchers cautioned.
In a second editorial, Sharon Levy, MD, of Harvard Medical School in Boston warned the legalization of medical marijuana and shifting public attitudes toward marijuana use among adults have led to wider illegal use among teens.
"One trend is very clear: nationwide rates of adolescent marijuana use are climbing rapidly. Between 2008 and 2011, rates of lifetime marijuana use rose by 21% and past-year marijuana use rose by 31%, surpassing tobacco," Levy observed.
"The skyrocketing rates of adolescent marijuana use indicate that we are losing an important public health battle, and we have a lot of work to do if we want to reverse these trends," she stated.
Wang and colleagues noted that their study had certain limitations, including the possibility of missing data and its retrospective, single-center design.
All authors and editorialists reported no conflicts of interest.

I have been following your Airstyle thread and being duly impressed by the little peeks you give us into the making of your DVD. As you know, probably the vast majority of us can pretty much go back and forth and jump, maybe do some rolls and miscellaneous grabs and stuff.
Ever thought of a "trick of the week" thread where you give us a detailed look at what goes on in a trick? It would be a good way to stoke people up about getting out on the water and doing something new. I was browsing the "how to" section, and there were very few tricks that had any video, and those that did were mainly clips of the Progression series or some other random video.
What would be cool is to expand on that, have video of you performing the move once in real time, once in slow motion, with audio commentary as it's going down. Each week, you could start a thread with the trick of the week, starting with mild, and progressing towards wild. Maybe locked, like the Airtime thread, or you could leave it open to debate, questions, and the occasional troll like 2 hawt, may he burn in exile.
You will have all the video clips from the Airtime DVD project. I don't know if there would be any way to start a how to thread that requires a subscription to get in, and access could be granted by the purchase of your DVD. That might help out your sales quite a bit, at the same time.
What say you?

On The Road Through Nothingness
It's rare to see a positive story about the Catholic Church in the mainstream media, especially in newer online-only publications like Slate, but Harold Fickett, a Godspy contributing editor, managed to publish an essay there recently about the Clear Creek Monastery, a new and growing contemplative Benedictine monastery in Kansas, and the wider story of how Catholic religious communities are attracting young people. It could be that the critical success of the three-hour documentary, Into Great Silence, which had a long run at Manhattan's Film Forum in 2007, left an impression on the editors. The appeal of that movie is captured in Harold's ending: "From its rich liturgical rites to the pastoral details of its life as a working farm, as the monks raise sheep, make furniture, tend their orchard, and care for a huge vegetable garden, Clear Creek is what a monastery is meant to be—a sign of paradise. Father Anderson says, 'We were only a bunch of bums, but by becoming nothing, you can be a part of something great.'" READ MORE >

Arnold Daniel Palmer (born September 10, 1929) is an American golfer who is generally regarded as one of the greatest players in the history of men's professional golf. He has won numerous events on both the PGA Tour and Champions Tour, dating back to 1955. Nicknamed "The King," he is one of golf's most popular stars and its most important trailblazer because he was the first star of the sport's television age, which began in the 1950s. He is part of "The Big Three" in golf along with Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player who are widely credited with popularizing and commercialising the sport around the world.
Palmer won the PGA Tour Lifetime Achievement Award in 1998, and in 1974 was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame.
Palmer was born in Latrobe, Pennsylvania[1]. He learned golf from his father, Deacon Palmer, who was head professional and greenskeeper at Latrobe Country Club, allowing young Arnold to accompany his father as he maintained the course.[2] He attended Wake Forest University, on a golf scholarship. He left upon the death of close friend Bud Worsham, and enlisted in the Coast Guard, where he served for three years and had some time to continue to hone his golf skills. Palmer gathered himself, and returned to competitive golf. His win in the 1954 U.S. Amateur Championship made him decide to try the pro tour for a while, and he and new bride Winifred Walzer (whom he had met at a Pennsylvania tournament) traveled the circuit for 1955. Palmer won the 1955 Canadian Open in his rookie season, and raised his game systematically for the next several seasons.

UFC President Dana White revealed the promotion's plan to MMAJunkie.com on Wednesday while promoting UFC on Fuel TV 7 in London. No date has been set for the Belfort-Bisping confrontation, but it is likely to serve as a No. 1 contender's bout, according to the report.
Belfort, 35, recently returned to the middleweight division after unsuccessfully challenging Jon Jones for the light heavyweight title on short notice last year. "The Phenom" looked sharp in his reemergence at 185 pounds, as he stopped Michael Bisping with a second-round head kick at UFC on FX 7 last month in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
Rockhold will make his UFC debut riding a nine-fight win streak. Strikeforce's final middleweight champion last competed in July, when he successfully defended his belt against Tim Kennedy in Portland, Ore. Rockhold won the Strikeforce middleweight belt from Ronaldo Souza in September 2011 and first defended it the following January, stopping ex-UFC talent Keith Jardine on first-round strikes.view original article >>

Plastic Eating Fungi!
- 1 Post
Polyurethane – hard plastics. It is used in gaskets, shoes, hose pipes, and more. Plastic is choking the Earth, it is being strewn all over the land, and it takes 450 years just to start degrading.
I recently read a fantastic article that gave me tremendous hope and also reinforced the idea of the importance of biodiversity. Somewhere in the jungles of Ecuador, a group of students from Yale University, on their annual Rainforest Expedition and Laboratory, found a fungus that can feed on plastic!
The fungus, Pestalotiopsis microspora, can feed on polyurethane, the common plastic that dominates landfills and takes hundreds of years to decompose.
A student, Jonathan Russel, was able to isolate the enzyme used by the fungus to degrade the plastic. Not only can this fungus feed on polyurethane, it can do so in anaerobic conditions- which is an environment than does not have oxygen. This is what the conditions at the bottom of a landfill are like. The fungi digest the plastics without releasing carbon dioxide or monoxide, which is a major air polluting problem when plastics are burnt during disposal, making it an even more eco-friendly solution. The team has published their findings in "Applied and Environmental Microbiology", follow this link to read more about it http://aem.asm.org/content/77/17/6076.full
These inspiring discoveries potentially help us solve one of the biggest environmental problems of our generation- the safe disposal of plastic. The discovery also highlights the importance of biodiversity – our world has such a vast potential of treasures not yet discovered, and if we destroy our forests and lands, a lot more than we can even imagine will be lost.

Would the author be willing to just toss away such a wonderful plot device?
While after a period of initial confusion, he has always saw Sora (his childhood buddy and one of the best friends he ever had) and Yozora (the pretty but somewhat eccentric and abrasive girl he just met upon transferring) as two completely separate persons, Kodaka has decided to continue to treat the 2 "personalities" of Yozora as 2 separate people. But now that he is in the know, the Sora part of Yozora's personality might become more noticeable for him ... Yozora is still Yozora.
This is definitely an option for the author.
And remember they did make a "promise" of sorts which got considerable air time. Promises and Anime, we all know how that goes.
PS: That and I'm quite sure the author - assuming he is not an amateur - has more or less already roughly planned everything out in advance ...

It acts more as her motive than anything else and is the reason for the existence of the club.
She has feelings for Kodaka, both as her best friend ever - whom she wants to reunite with - and as potential love interest. That's why she dislike's Sena so much, she see her as a rival - and she wouldn't act the way she does if she was "secure".
While she realizes that they can't just "resume" their relationship off the bat, she still would like to get back together with Kodaka.
As for Kodaka, he probably has problems reconciling in his head the fact that Yozora is Sora, hence see them as two separate people, but he nevertheless part of him still treasure his friendship with Sora. He practically spends the most of the anime dreaming about her - that and there is his "interesting" reaction to seeing short-hair Yozora in the cosplay.
The two have a lot of (inevitable) catching up to do and given Yozora's personality it's going to take a long time.
That said, Kodaka will probably not see Yozora in the same light anymore, not as Sora - whom he always thought of as a boy - but not as the Yozora he has come to know over the last couple of months either.
His head is going to have to work over time conciliating the two views of Yozora as he does see Sora in Yozora - that's how he recognized her, and now that he knows he is probably going to notice it more - and as Yozora is Sora.

Casting a spell on you...

I started this just recently, and just finished ep 1 of NEXT, so here are my two cents on Yozora:
Like quite a bit of the characters, I find she is got a socially awkward quirk that is almost painfully crippling at times particularly for her and Rika being around large crowds in the poll. Also, she rather has a chronic bullying side that is a bit much. A friend of mine is of a similiar personality, so I can understand it a bit, though it is trying. She does seem to have a desire to help others, but the way she does it is a bit much, like helping Sena with the eroge could be handled any number of ways. She just seems to be the type that doesn't know any other way to express themselves, ironically, she is the same as Sena in the regard, which is funny how she gets on the girl for being delusional and was just as into that galge in ep 2, proclaiming murderous vengeance on game characters. XD
Reading some of the other comments, I can say I am not really a supporter of one person, I find all the club members bring something to the table. Also, disliking one part of a character doesn't mean you can't like other parts. I dislike Yozora's ways in helping people at times and her unnecessarily sullen passive/aggressiveness, but I can see she does want to help in her own way. Just as I think Sena can be creeepy and abusive, she also is honest with what she wants and kind if she chooses to be. They are both rather immature and have growing to do. Kodaka rests in the sidelines too much imo.

Besides, he might be waiting for Yozora to make her move (and by that, I mean actually confessing to him directly, rather than try and get her feelings through to him otherwise), and if she doesn't act soon, he might start thinking she's not interested in him anymore and pick Sena. And seeing how things are progressing right now, Yozora's chances may be slipping away fast.

Well, she did put a piece on paper to kiss Kodaka in the box and stuck it on the side so only she could pull it out, but Sena found it.
It seemed like a sharp move to me, a prepared no-escape kiss. (:

I doubt she intended on picking it out since she wouldn't have known what Kodaka's number was, not to mention that it was another "Self-Order" so everyone would've immediately known it was her.
Plus if she did want to pick it out then she sure took her time.

Well, from her reactions on how Sena was talking out loud, we saw that she didn't want anyone else to take that paper.
On the other hand, she stuck it so she would have a high change to pick it before others.
Also, she wrote that the taker must perform a kiss, so she Did want to kiss someone.

It's okay for Yozora to act all shy and tsundere, but she should have noticed by now that Sena is getting more aggressive and more willing to show her feelings towards Kodaka, and no amount of bullying is going to keep her away from him.

It is just not Yozora to throw the straight ball, and just as unlikely as Sena being considerate to others.
Sena's aggressiveness(it is actually just a total lack of restraint) is her own flaw, as much as the beating around the bush being Yozora's. It is unlikely for a premise built around eccentric characters, and then for the characters to triumph through their very flaws ultimately.
What Sena being herself will do however, is continuously pile on the tension, and the screw winding evermore harder inside Yozora.

Yozora is mistaken friendship and love matters.
She definitely love Kodaka. But because she never has friend before, she thought that it is natural to feel like this to a friend.
That's why during 2nd episode of NEXT, she said "So friends can kiss too."
So King's game is one of her scheme to get her and Kodaka kissing.
I believe that Yozora is afraid to take a step to her relationship because she is afraid that her friendship with Kodaka will break.

anyone that can tell me why Yozora and Rika are so against goup activities outside. they almost run away from any place that is crowded. it is a bit depressing when a few of people goes back shortly after arriving. this means less comedy more depressing moments :X

There's actually a name of that 'disorder' I recalled people bringing it up at the time of that episode, but the name sort of slipped my mind atm...
But think of it as like claustrophobia...

They seem to have a severe case of social anxiety disorder, from what I can tell by the symptoms – fear of crowded places, fear of being judged by other people (especially those you don't know), getting nauseous to the point of gagging whenever you're placed in such a situation, etc.
I think this is why, when they're in the clubroom, they act relatively normal, but become panicked whenever they go to a place with lots of people.

Ivanovic ends title drought
Ana Ivanovic claimed her first WTA title in more than two years on Saturday, lifting the ASB Classic with a battling win over Venus Williams in Auckland.
The second-seeded Serbian won five games in a row to take the opening set and also had match point in the second, but Williams fought back to take the contest into a decider.
However, another break of serve early in the third proved crucial as Ivanovic went on to win 6-2 5-7 6-4 in two hours and 19 minutes.
It marked Ivanovic's first title since winning in Bali at the end of 2011 and she told the WTA Tour website: "It's amazing.
"Coming into this week I didn't really have any expectations. I didn't even think about making the finals or winning it.
"I just tried my best, and I felt very comfortable here.
"Every victory is special, this one even more so because it's been a while since I've won a tournament."

Idaho Public Utilities Commission
Case Nos. IPC-E-09-18, IPC-E-09-19, IPC-E-09-20
August 11, 2009

Idaho Power seeks to buy from three wind projects in Hagerman area
The Idaho Public Utilities Commission is taking comments through Sept. 22 on proposed sales agreements between Idaho Power Co. and the developer of three wind projects in the Hagerman area.
The sales agreements are with Boise-based Exergy Development Group of Idaho, which plans to build all three projects to qualify under the rates published by the commission under the provisions of PURPA, the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978. PURPA requires electric utilities to offer to buy power produced by qualifying small-power producers or co-generators. The rate to be paid project developers, called an "avoided cost rate," is to be equal to the cost the electric utility avoids if it would have had to generate the power itself or purchase it from another source.
The three projects – Camp Reed (22.5 MW), Payne's Ferry (21 MW) and Yahoo Creek (21 MW) – are scheduled to begin operating Sept. 30, 2010. Under the proposed agreements, each of the plants will deliver up to 10 average megawatts on a monthly basis.
Under the proposed 20-year contracts, Idaho Power would pay the posted rate of $84.40 per megawatt-hour during months of normal demand, which include January, February, June, September and October. During the months of heavy demand (July, August, November and December), Idaho Power would pay $102.58 per megawatt-hour. During months of less-than-normal demand (March through May), Idaho Power would pay $61.47 per megawatt-hour. Those rates include the wind integration charge and are adjusted slightly during heavy-load hours and light-load hours of the day.
The commission plans to handle these cases under a modified procedure that uses written comments rather than conducting a hearing, unless customer comments can demonstrate a need for a public hearing. Comments are accepted via e-mail by accessing the commission's homepage at www.puc.idaho.gov and clicking on "Comments & Questions." Fill in the case numbers (IPC-E-09-18, -19 and -20) and enter your comments. Comments can also be mailed to P.O. Box 83720, Boise, ID 83720-0074 or faxed to (208) 334-3762.

Fritters to Sandwiches: A Selection of Fall Apple Recipes
Food writer Jennifer Bartoli lives in Montreal, where apples are a centerpiece of fall cooking. She sent us a few of her favorite recipes for fall, and here they all are — a collection of delicious apple dishes. Time to get picking!
Fall has always been my favorite time of the year. There's just something so soothing about things quieting down after a warm summer and scarf weather slowly making its way in. Fall, in the Quebec region, means watching the trees slowly rid themselves of their green foliage and making way for canvas-like shades of crimson, amber, orange and yellow. Apple-picking is definitely one of the best food-related activities to enjoy during these months.
You get to be outdoors, enjoy the crisp weather, the beautiful scenery and get a little closer to where your food is grown. Living in a city, it can sometimes be a difficult to connect to where the food you put on your table everyday comes from. Even if you shop at your local farmer's market, you can become pretty disconnected from the true place of origin of produce. Apple-picking is just one of the small ways to change that.
For, me it's also been a great way to learn about different varieties of apples that you might not come across in your everyday food purchases. At the peak of apple season, there are dozens and dozens of varieties available, from late summer apples to true fall apples. From sweet, to tart, to juicy, to crisp there really is one for each and every palate. Some apples are better for baking, others to enjoy raw, so make sure you ask your farmer to differentiate them.
A true pleasure of apple-picking also lies in the different sizes and shapes you'll find yourself heading home with. If you're used to perfectly round and shiny supermarket apples, you'll be in for a ride.
I selected some of my favorite apple recipes here, from sweet to savory. I also usually display apples in wooden baskets or glass vases in my apartment. They bring a nice touch of earthiness and fall flavor to an interior at this time of year and do wonders to decorate a dinner table.
Oven-Baked Apple Donuts
Adapted from cooks.com
1/4 cup lightly packed brown sugar
1/4 cup white sugar
1 1/2 cups bite-sized chunks of apple, peeled and cored
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 3/4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1/3 cup cold butter, cut into small pieces
1 egg
1/4 cup milk
To Coat:
1/4 cup butter, melted
1/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon powder
Preheat your oven to 350&edeg;FF. Whisk the flour, baking powder, sugars salt and and nutmeg in a bowl. Add the cold chopped butter. Rub the pieces of butter with the flour mixture until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg. Mix in the milk and fold in the chopped apples. Add the egg mixture to the flour mixture. Stir using a spatula or spoon making sure not to overmix. Place a spoonful of batter into each mold of a buttered mini muffin pan.
Bake for 15-18 minutes or until the donuts are just golden. Remove from the oven, unmold and lightly brush each donut with the melted butter. Dunk in a bowl with the sugar and cinnamon mixed in. Shake off excess sugar and serve immediately.
Tuna, Arugula and Apple Sandwiches
2 small cans tuna packed in olive oil
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon grainy mustard
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 handful arugula
1 Granny Smith apple, thinly sliced
4 mini ciabatta rolls
Olive oil
Salt and freshly ground pepper
Slice the ciabatta rolls lengthwise. Lightly drizzle with olive oil and toast for 3-4 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and crusty. Take off the heat and reserve. In a small bowl whisk the mayonnaise, grainy mustard and lemon juice and reserve.
In a bowl, add the tuna (drained from most of the oil). Using a fork, press down on the tuna to separate the chunks. Fold in 3/4 of the mayonnaise mixture and add a good pinch of salt and pepper. Divide the tuna mixture and add it to each half of ciabatta. Top the tuna with a few slices of apple and top with arugula. Spread the mayonnaise on the other side of each piece of ciabatta. Close the sandwiches and serve.
Apple Sauce
10 apples (I used a mix of McIntosh and Cortland)
3/4 cups of water
2 teaspoons of cinnamon
1 tablespoon of lemon juice
A pinch of kosher salt
3 tablespoons of loosely packed brown sugar
Peel and core the apples. Cut them into bite-size chunks. In a stock pot, on medium low heat, add the apples, water, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt and lemon juice. Cook on low heat for 10-12 minutes, or until the apples are soft. If you like your apple sauce chunky, remove from the heat when the apple chunks are soft but still hold their shape. If you don't, cook for a few minutes longer, or until the chunks completely break down. Taste and adjust seasoning, add a little more cinnamon and lemon juice if needed.
Cool down, and serve. You can then keep the apple sauce in the fridge for several days, as well as freeze it.
Apple and Potato Fritters with Sour Cream and Herb Dipping Sauce
150 grams grated Russet potatoes
1 large Macintosh apple, peeled and grated
2 tablespoons Parmesan
2 tablespoons rice or cake flour
1 egg yolk, beaten
Salt and freshly ground pepper
Vegetable oil
Grate the potatoes and apple into a small bowl. Place the mix into a kitchen towel and drain out the water. Transfer back to the bowl and fold in the flour, Parmesan and a good pinch of salt and pepper. Add the egg yolk and gently mix so all the ingredients are well incorporated.
Add a good drizzle of vegetable oil to a non-stick pan or skillet. Once the oil is hot, drop a heaping tablespoon of the potato mixture and flatten to form a disc with the back of a spoon. Cook for 1-2 minutes or until the side in contact with the skillet is nice and golden brown. Flip the fritters and cook the other side for 1-2 minutes. Remove from the heat and place on paper towels to soak up excess oil.
1/2 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley
Salt and freshly ground pepper
Whisk the sour cream and parsley in a small bowl. Add a pinch of salt and pepper and serve alongside the fritters.
Chocolate Cake with Apples and Hazelnuts
Adapted from Valrhona, serves 8
2 small Granny Smith apples
1/3 cup of hazelnuts, chopped
250 grams of bittersweet chocolate, chopped
2/3 cup of heavy whipping cream
3 egg yolks
4 teaspoons of cornstarch
3 tablespoons of liquid honey
3 egg whites
Confectioner's sugar
Preheat your oven to 375ºF.
Prepare an 8-inch or 9-inch springform pan (at least 2 inches deep) and grease the bottom and the sides. Peel, core, and slice the apples into 1/2-inch dice and set aside.
Chop the chocolate and place in a bowl. In a small saucepan, bring the heavy cream to a light boil and immediately remove from the heat.. Pour the cream over the chocolate. Using a rubber spatula, fold the mixture until the chocolate and cream form a homogeneous mix. Once the mixture has cooled, slowly mix in the egg yolks and cornstarch until thoroughly incorporated. The mixture will be smooth and slightly thick.
In a separate bowl, add the honey to the egg whites and whip until soft peaks form.
Using a whisk, add about 1/3 of the whipped egg whites to the chocolate mixture to lighten the mixture. Don't worry about breaking the whites at this point, just whisk in the whites to make the batter more malleable. Then, gently fold in the remaining egg whites in two batches, and avoid over-mixing. White streaks of egg white should still be visible in the chocolate mixture.
Pour the batter into the greased springform pan. Top with the chopped apples and hazelnuts and dust lightly with confectioner's sugar. Place the springform pan on a cookie sheet or sheet pan and bake immediately.
Cook for 30 to 35 minutes or until a wooden skewer inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean. Be careful not to overcook or the cake will become flaky and dry.
Let the cake cool in the springform pan for at least 15 minutes before unmolding. The cake is best enjoyed while still warm.
Caramel-Coated Apples
10 apples (I used Spartan)
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 lightly packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup light corn syrup
2 teaspoons molasses
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup heavy cream
Wash the apples and thoroughly dry them - if they are still wet the caramel will not stick to the skin. Remove the stems and insert a wooden stick at the top of each apple, about half-way through. The apples should securely cling to the stick. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease.
In a saucepan on medium heat, add the sugars, butter, corn syrup, molasses, salt and half of the cream. Swirl the pan to make sure all the ingredients mix homogenously. Once they have, add the remaining cream. Cook on medium heat for 10-12 minutes or until the temperature of the mixture reaches 240F.
Remove the caramel from the heat and wait for the liquid to slightly cool (2 minutes). Using a swirling motion and carefully tilting the pan, coat the apples with caramel, leaving an untouched circle of apple where the wooden stick is inserted. Let the excess caramel drip off, and place the apples on the parchment paper. Immediately place the apples in the fridge to harden. You may have to do this in batches so that the first coated apples don't stay at room temperature for too long: the quicker they get in the fridge, the better! If the caramel starts to harden and is not thin enough to coat the apples, simply place the saucepan on the heat for a couple minutes before coating more apples.
Leave the apples in the fridge for at least 15 minutes to harden. Once they have hardened, leave at room temperature. Package as you please!

Ascent of Thompson Peak on 2005-09-03
Dennis Poulin
Saturday, September 3, 2005
Ascent Type:
Successful Summit Attained
Thompson Peak
8994 ft / 2741 m
Ascent Trip Report
Thompson Peak is the crown jewel of the Trinity Alps Wilderness in Northern California. I set out from home in Medford, Oregon on Friday September 2, 2005 with the goal of climbing a few California Prominence Peaks before climbing Thompson the next day. Friday went well and I tagged Cottonwood Peak, Bonanza King, and drove to the top of Hayfork Bally.
I then drove to the trailhead for Thompson Peak and arrived at the China Gulch trailhead (elevation 4,800 ft) about 10:00PM. I quickly crawled into the back of my truck and went to sleep. Early the next morning I packed my stuff, and readied myself for a long day of hiking. I left the trailhead about 6:15AM.
The "trail" follows an old road bed for about ½ mile and then you hit the Wilderness Boundary. The roadbed ends and the real trail continued into the forest. The trail switchbacked up to a ridge line. This is the Hunters Camp at about 5,800 ft elevation. I took off my long sleeve shirt after getting warmed up and headed down the other side of the ridge towards Grizzly Creek. The trail drops 1,200 ft going down to the creek and that is where you meet the trail coming in from Hobo Gulch.
I took a left at this point and headed up the Grizzly Creek Canyon. This is a beautiful area along the creek. You can't see the creek from the trail, but you can hear it. This is an old growth timber area that has huge Sugar Pines, Ponderosa Pines, Douglas Firs, and Red Cedar along the trail. Some of these trees are over 6 ft in diameter. I passed a couple of campsites along this portion of the trail and there were a few campers who were busy with their morning routine.
After a few miles the trail gains some elevation and works out of the old growth area and then right next to the creek. I passed a couple of nice water falls and continued up the trail. Soon, I was treated with my first glimpse of Thompson Peak. What a beautiful sight with the permanent snow and glacier seeming to "hang" below the peak and above the valley I was walking through.
I continued up the Grizzly Creek Valley and soon could see the Meadows ahead of me and a wonderful waterfall coming from the outlet of Grizzly Lake. The Meadows is at about 6,200 ft elevation and the lake is at about 7,100 ft elevation. The water fall cascades down from the lake with a clear drop of at least 250ft and then subsequent falls bringing it down to about 6,600 ft where the water disappears under a rocky basin. The creek re-emerges in Grizzly Meadows and appears to be crystal clear pure drinking water.
At this point, I deviated from the normal route and decided to take a cross country route up to the lake. This was a mistake. Stay on the trail! I saw that there is kind of a ramp heading up the right side of this basin below the waterfall. It didn't look any more difficult than the path heading up the left side. It would have been a good choice except the talus was pretty loose. I almost got pinned by a "rock" the size of a small cow. I was only about 1/3 of the way up to the ridge line above the Grizzly Meadows when this rock slid down towards me and hit my ankle. Fortunately, I wear high leather boots and I was able to pull my foot out. After that incident, I considered turning around and heading down, but I'm pretty stubborn and continued.
At the top of this ridge, I could finally see Grizzly Lake. I was high above it on the south end. I continued up this south ridge and could see the low point in the upper ridge that leads up to Thompson Peak. I continued up this ridge line up to the base of point 8651 on the topo. I could see there was no way I was going to get on top of point 8651 and then walk the ridge line to Thompson from there, so I down climbed a steep cliff to the scree below the ridge. I crossed the talus and scree all the way over to where the climber's route comes up from Grizzly Lake. The footing was better on the climber's route but it still wasn't good. There is lots of scree this last bit to the ridgeline.
Once at the ridge line that leads to Thompson Peak, the view is marvelous. I could see the south and west expanse of the Trinity Alps Wilderness. I followed the ridgeline to the south east to Thompson Peak. There are many different routes here and it is easy to lose whatever trail there is. I kept ending up high on the ridge climbing over boulders. The "trail" seemed to be about 100 ft down the ridge towards the south west. In any event I kept making progress towards the summit.
Near the summit it becomes steeper and I found myself climbing boulders on the ridge line. After 2 false summit boulders I could finally see the next one was higher and the last one on the ridge. I had to down climb about 20 ft before going back up to the summit. There is a nice scramble to get on top of the highest rock. I took lots of pictures and signed the register.
The glacier below me towards Grizzly Lake had several crevasses and a large bergschrund on the upper side. I entertained the idea of visiting this area on the way down, but decided my day was going to be long enough as it was.
I ate my lunch because it had been about 6 ½ hours since I left the trailhead. Returning to the trailhead, I vowed to stay on the trail and give my now swollen ankle a break. I returned down the ridge line from the summit the way I had come up and then found the climbers trail heading down to the lake. The top part of this trail is a lot of scree. Then I lost the trail in a talus field for a couple hundred feet before picking it up again in some more scree. It was easy to pick my way down the slope towards the lake. About half way down the trail ran out, but that was okay. It was easier walking with lots of wildflowers and grasses between the rocks.
About 300 ft above the lake I started heading to my left as I descended so that I could get down to the lake near its north shore. There were 3 guys fishing and camping near the west end of the lake and one caught a trout just as I was passing by. I noticed there were several campsites in the north shore of Grizzly Lake. I continued down and along Grizzly Lake to the outlet and falls. I took a few minutes to take some pictures of the falls and then jumped across the outlet to continue.
I followed the climber's trail that descends on the east side of the falls to Grizzly Meadows. The trail is quite steep in spots, but is easy to follow. There are cairns about every 20 ft so it would be hard to lose the trail unless it was covered with snow.
Once down in the shade in Grizzly Meadows, I took a break, changed my socks, ate some more and rehydrated. All I had now was about a 3 hour hike back to the car. The hike out was uneventful. I met about 20 hikers along the trail, all heading up to Grizzly Lake for Labor Day. The tough part was climbing the 1,200 ft from Grizzly Creek back up to the top of the ridge at Hunters Camp.
I got back to the trailhead at about 7:00PM having hiked about 19 miles and gained 7,200ft. It was a long dayhike, but magnificent scenery.

Even those in excellent health, can have heat illness if symptoms are ignored.
Signs and Symptoms
A person with a heat-related illness may have:
First Aid Guide
When heat-related illness is suspected, seek emergency medical care immediately. While awaiting emergency medical services, try to cool the person as described below.Use a combination of the following measures depending on the circumstances and means available:
Individuals At Risk
People most susceptible to head-related illnesses are those who are outdoors on a hot, humid day or inside in a poorly ventilated area, particularly children, the elderly, or the obese. Children and the elderly show the fastest progression of symptoms and can collapse suddenly.
Those on certain medications can suffer from heat illness, as well, as medications can alter the way the body handles heat and sun. Those who drink alcohol before, during, or after vigorous activity are more susceptible to heat illness, as are people who do heavy work with inadequate fluid intake.

Evan Wolfson receives highest honor from National LGBT Bar Association
August 22, 2014
This morning, August 22, at its annual Lavender Law conference, the National LGBT Bar Association presented Freedom to Marry founder and president Evan Wolfson with its highest honor: the Dan Bradley Award, which has been presented annually since 1990. The award, according to the association, "recognizes the efforts of a member of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender legal community whose work, like Attorney Dan Bradley, has led the way in the struggle for equality under the law."
The award is named for Dan Bradley, the first chair of what is now the American Bar Association's Committee for Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity who also headed the U.S. Legal Services Corporation under Presidents Carter and Reagan. Bradley was the highest-ranking openly gay person in federal government at the time.
The LGBT Bar Association explained, "Bradley saw the law as a powerful instrument of social justice, believing that lawyers had an obligation to place their skills as advocates at the service of the least powerful among us." Past recipients have included pioneering activists Frank Kameny and Urvashi Vaid, James Esseks of the American Civil Liberties Union, Jon Davidson of Lambda Legal, and Shannon Minter of the National Center for Lesbian Rights.
Evan Wolfson said today in a statement about receiving the award:
I'm honored to receive the Dan Bradley Award and join a long list of trailblazers and friends who have worked to make America a better place. As lawyers, we have a special obligation to make the case for liberty and justice for all, and to hold America to its promise. And as lawyers, we know that change is too important to be left just to the lawyers or the courts. What we've been doing, together – making the same strong case for freedom and equality in the court of public opinion as we are making in the courts of law – has been working, and we've come a long way. But we still have a long way to go. This is no time to stop or sit back.
Evan Wolfson has been working to win marriage nationwide for more than 30 years. He has been dubbed the "Godfather of Gay Marriage" by Newsweek and is the author of Why Marriage Matters: America, Equality, and Gay People's Right to Marry. In 2012, he won the Barnard Medal of Distinction alongside President Barack Obama.

FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. - Christopher Newport evened its record at 2-2 on the season by winning its conference opener Saturday at Methodist, 26-14. CNU led 13-0 at the half and built a 26-0 lead in the first four minutes of the second half.
Sophomore running back Markeese Stovall (Richmond, Va.) scored three of the four touchdowns for the Captains and now has seven scoes in four games. Stovall finished with 73 yards on 21 carries.
Both of Methodist's scores came in the final minute of the fourth quarter. CNU's defense was outstanding, dominating the game throughout.
"I thought we really played well on defense," Head Coach Matt Kelchner said following the road win. "We dominated the game until we cleared the bench late. We made some mistakes late on special teams and we have to work on that."
The Monarchs, now 1-3, converted two onsides kicks in the final minutes of the game, one that led to their first score.
Stovall opened the scoring with a 2-yard run in the opening quarter and then ran seven yards for his second score midway through the second quarter. Stovall's third touchdown came on a 5-yard run early in the third quarter.
CNU opened the second half with a big play as sophomore quarterback Lyndon Garner (Tappahannock, Va.) connected with freshman wide receiver Rudy Rudolph (Chesapeake, Va.) on an 85-yard scoring pass. The play came on the first snap from scrimmage in the third quarter.
Garner was playing in place of Captains starter Christian Woelfel-Monsivais (Fredericksburg, Va.) who suffered an injured knee in the opening half and did not return to the game.
"Lyndon played pretty well, he got better and better," Kelchner continued. "We've got two quarterbacks who can get the job done, now we just have to assess Christian's injury and go from there."
Garner completed nine of 15 attempts for 196 yards. Sophomore wide receiver Kentel Noel (Weems, Va.) caught five balls for 106 yards.
Freshman Marcus Morrast (Stafford, Va.) led the CNU rushing attack with 77 yards on 11 carries.
Senior linebacker Mike King (Centreville, Va.) led the defensive effort with seven tackles.
"Overall, we're getting better and better every week," Kelchner said. "It's good to get our first conference game on the road and look ahead to a home game next Saturday against Shenandoah."
Next Saturday's game at POMOCO Stadium with the Hornets will be a 7 pm start.

Break-ups are never easy to deal with, especially when you truly loved the person. Everyone has to go through a break-up sometime in their lifetime and you may be going through one right now. You may be wondering how to get back your ex, and a lot of different crazy things may be going through your mind. But what is important is that you try your best to remain calm and try the following steps below.
Self Assessment – What You May Have Done Wrong?
♥ Take a good look at your relationship together and realize what you may have done wrong in your relationship. The break-up most likely wasn't all your fault, maybe your ex was at fault, so think about what you did wrong in the relationship so you know what you can work on and be better at.
One of the best things you can do in a relationship that has fallen apart is to try and correct your past mistakes. If you realize what you did wrong in your relationship that may have somewhat caused the break-up, the next time around you will be able to overcome and won't make these same mistakes again. Be honest with yourself! If you aren't honest about the mistakes you made, you're not going to be able to really correct your mistakes.
Don't Beg Or Be Too Needy
♦ Not begging and showing your neediness is a very important step on how to get back your ex. Neediness is not an attractive trait so try your best to not show this side of you. Everyone has a side of them that is a little needy but it's best not to show it to your ex. If you beg him or her to take you back, it's only going to make him or her more distant towards you. Your ex will become annoyed. You're going to want to text him every minute to beg him not to leave you but you must refrain from doing so. You will only make matters worse by doing this.
Give Your Ex Some Space
♥ The break-up happened for a reason and the reason could have simply been that he wanted some space and that is what you need to give him or her. Let your ex do what he or she wants to do while you two are apart. If you smother him and try to make him feel that you are forcing him to get back together with you, this is only asking for more heartache. Try to be as strong as you can and let him be free for a while.
He may even start seeing someone else but that doesn't mean that you should freak out and worry that you two will never be together again. Be calm and again, let him have his space. Many people start to see someone else right after they have a break-up just because they don't really understand how to be single just yet. When someone becomes single they feel that they need to be with someone, anyone, so they get into what is called a "rebound relationship" and it's nothing to be concerned about. These relationships never last long.
If you give your ex space, he'll start to miss you more and that is what you want to happen. So don't text him, don't call him over and over again until he answers and don't randomly show up to see him at his house. Be calm. It's very important if you want him or her to be with you again. As much as it hurts to do this, he has to be himself for a while before he can be with you again.
Ask Him Out On A Light Date
♦ So, you're still wondering how to get back your ex since all I've told you to do is give him or her some space. Well, after you've given some space, try to talk to him a little and after a while of light conversation ask him on a fun little date. Don't say it's a date! Simply ask him if he wants to go play mini-golf or to have a drink sometime. If he says yes, that's great sign and it's a great chance to show him how much fun you two used to have together.
On this date, play around with him and tell jokes. Don't get serious on him, that can make a fun date turn into an awkward situation very quickly. Remind him of fun times you two had together in your past. Keep it light and simple. Don't beg for the date and don't push him too much, try to relax.
Always Look Your Best And Accentuate Your Past Together
♥ How to get your ex back comes down to a lot of different factors but a very important one is when you two are together, you should always look your absolute best. If you have an outfit that he used to really like you in, wear it to remind him of your history together. Do your hair, wear some makeup and buy some new perfume that will drive him crazy. As much as you think your looks aren't important to him, which could be true, you still want to look your best.
Conclusion: Getting back your ex is not as hard as you may think it is, you just need to be more concerned about his or her feelings over your own. Show your ex how much you care and how hard you'll work to make things work this time around in your relationship. Be strong and don't try pushing him into something that he doesn't want to do. If you love him, his happiness is what you want the most.

If you believe Wikipedia, Microsoft has all kinds of covenants not to sue, even with Sun.
The patent 'landscape', if you will, is a World War I style powderkeg. Either it's defused via legislation restricting software patents and overturning existing ones, or it'll eventually blow up. I don't think ANYONE wants to see that happen, because the only ones who win will be everyone outside the USA who don't have to obey US patent laws.

How Tos For Your Bed
Easily the most important piece of furniture in your house, the bed makes it so you can get rest to work, decorate and stay healthy. But this piece of furniture also comes with what seems a zillion choices and the need for a lot of cash. Whether you're in a new, bare apartment, or you need new sheets, browse our tips for helping you make your bed.
• 1 Start with a Bed Frame, or Not
We'll start by assuming you already have a bed frame and maybe a headboard, since these choices are very personal choices. (Just in case, we think these are the basic frame decisions: Metal frame to hide with skirts? Wood frame to last a lifetime? Refinished traditional off of Craigslist? New modern from IKEA or West Elm?)
If you don't have, or want, a bed frame at all, check out our tips for bed-on-the-floor-on-purpose-look.
• 2 Choose a Mattress and Box Spring
Check out Austin contributor Adrienne Breaux's tips for choosing a mattress. If you have a platform bed, you don't have to use or buy a box spring (although using the box spring is necessary for some warranties.
More tips:

• 3 Protect Your Mattress
Choose a mattress cover to protect your mattress from dirt and spills. We got one with a pillow top to give our mattress a little more comfort.
• 4 Learn Thread Counts and Choose Sheets
Julian Tomchin, Macy's former product developer, explains what thread count even means and warns us to be suspicious of thread counts over 400. He prefers cotton sheets, and a thread count in the range of 220 to 350.
As for colors and patterns, that's up to you. We prefer to have one crisp white set, one subtle pattern and one dark-colored set.

• 5 Cover Your Box Spring
Platform bed or no, we suggest covering your boxspring with a fitted sheet or cover. Chez Laarson also offers a how to for making a simple bedskirt.
• 6 Choose a Duvet
If you prefer piles of blankets or a comforter to a duvet and cover, skip to 6. For the rest of you, read on. Many people go with one summer-weight down duvet, and one winter-weight. We go for one winter-weight duvet, and then in the summer, use sheets and a quilt. When choosing duvets, pay attention to allergenic options, if you have allergies, and pay attention to the weight on the packaging to make sure you're choosing warmth appropriate to your climate. We go with a medium-weight duvet and then pile on more blankets if we're cold, because then the duvet can be put on earlier in the fall and last later into the spring.

• 7 Make your Bed
Choose the way that suits you best. We like crispness to our bed-making, so we try for hospital corners. Some ribbed us for our method, but the orderliness to our sheets has gone up 100 percent. No more accidentally untucking sheets at night. If you want a crisper method, there are lots of how tos for hospital corners on the Web.

Making the Bed: Hospital Corners?
Ultimately, the decisions you make must be personal and perfect for your lifestyle, and you'll learn what you like as you go. For example, we learned that our favorite sheets in the summer (which we spent lots of time researching) feel frigid in the winter. We also learned that while we like throw pillows on the bed, four throws plus four sleeping pillow was too many — we're now down to six total, instead of eight.

Last April Tony and I went to a Cabernet Sauvignon wine tasting and we decided to purchase one of the high end cabs after tasting them. The 2007 Oakville East Exposure Cabernet Sauvignon was our big purchase. It was cost about $65 a bottle and we decided to open it sometime in 2012 and for an occasion. Last night we opened it on Valentines day to celebrate my new job (a great way to celebrate).
Oakville East Exposure Winery sits on the land slide from the Vaca mountain range and it borders the eastern side of Napa Valley. It receives the perfect amount of morning sun that continues through out the day that gives the perfect ripening and maturing conditions for Cabernet Sauvignon. It is the blend of grapes comes from 6 different micro vineyards that are planted on the side of the mountain. The rich iron soils, the organic green farming methods, and the sun exposure are the perfect base for this Cabernet Sauvignon. Of course the Cab is filled into 80% new French Oak Barrels and aged in natural cool caves formed in the mountain. Seriously you couldn't ask for better conditions for a wine.
The 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Cabernet Franc, and 3% Petite Verdot give the perfect blended wine. This wine you want to decant for at least an hour or two before drinking. The smell of cedar and oak fills the glass as you pour. Then after swirling to release the alcohol vapors you can smell the rich fruit of plums, strawberries, blueberries. I could taste a hint of coffee and cream. It was the perfect blend of fruit, oak, cream, and smoke. For the price I believe that I will splurge and pick up a couple more bottles and save them. Oakville East Exposure 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon is one of the best wines I have ever tasted.

How Nurses Can Help End Horizontal Hostility in Three Easy Steps
Cindy Mehallow / Monster Contributing Writer
Step 1: Know Why It Happens
Hospitals make stressful workplaces. Patients are sicker than ever, nurses are in short supply, and many nurses are getting older. Plus, many groups and individuals often care for one patient, setting up power struggles and an "us-versus-them" mentality, says Melissa Fitzpatrick, RN, MSN, FAAN, chief healthcare strategist with business intelligence software provider SAS Institute and former chief nurse executive at Duke University Medical Center.
Hostility among nurses resembles that of other oppressed groups, says Kathleen Bartholomew, RN, MN, whose pre-nursing background was in sociology. After doctors yell at them, nurses may take it out on coworkers. And when people work harder and faster without time to debrief, they act out, says Bartholomew, author of Ending Nurse-to-Nurse Hostility: Why Nurses Eat Their Young and Each Other.
Sound Off! Do Nurses Eat Their Young?
Generational differences can also create strife when values, communication styles and skill sets clash. In addition, conflict can arise when nurses and institutional practices mishandle the integration of new nurses — an unfortunately common occurrence given the nursing shortage.
Step 2: Realize the Cost
"Nurses who are doing the negative talking, putting others down, don't realize the damage they are doing," Bartholomew says. Negativity leads to a sense of isolation and torpedoes teamwork. "You end up with a life-preserver attitude instead of a lifeboat mentality," she says. "It becomes 'every man for himself' rather than 'we're all in this together.'"
Poor teamwork and communication can also spell trouble for patients, Bartholomew says. She almost lost a patient herself when a coworker, upset by a colleague's comments, programmed the pain machine incorrectly, dispensing the wrong dose.

I hate to be one to brag. But I've got to tell you that these non-traditional enchiladas are going to be the best of your life. Seriously. I'm not exaggerating (although, truth be told, I have been known to exaggerate a tiny bit here and there). These enchiladas are so good, you're going to want to eat the whole pan. And that's probably why I only make them once a year. So with that – and I realize I've built it up a lot – below is the recipe for the best enchiladas of your life (now the official name).
1 lb. organic chicken, grilled and shredded
1 t garlic salt
1 t pepper
2 c goat cheddar cheese, grated
1 can organic pinto beans, drained
1 pkg frozen spinach, thawed
1 red onion, thinly sliced
2 cans green enchilada sauce
1 pkg La Burrita corn tortillas
1 container pre-made guacamole
1 container salsa
Non-stick cooking spray
Preheat oven to 350. Grill chicken on skillet in kitchen, season with garlic salt and pepper (feel free to add more/less based on your taste). Shred chicken with fork. In saucepan on the stove, pour both cans of green sauce – heat on medium heat until slightly bubbling, then reduce to low. In separate saucepan and on low heat, mix spinach, pinto beans, onion and 1 cup of cheese. In 9×13 pan, spray non-stick spray. Lightly warm each tortilla on medium heat in skillet (no oil needed, just a minute max on each side). Scoop into tortilla a spoonful of enchilada sauce, chicken and the spinach/beans mixture (to give an added zing you can include a scoop of salsa and/or guac). Roll tortilla up and place in pan. Repeat this until pan is full. Then, pour remaining sauce over all of the rolled enchiladas. Sprinkle remaining cheese on top. Cover with foil. Bake for 30 minutes. Take off foil for last 5-10 minutes or until enchiladas are bubbling and cheese is melted. Serve with guac/salsa. Serves 4.
Happy Eating!

Reading programs radiate at Southeast
The Campus Report for Southeast Elementary was given at the SISD (Sweetwater Independent School District) Board of Trustees' meeting on Monday night, November 19, 2012.Making the presentation were the school's principal, Peggy Elliott; the counselor, Courtney Martin; and first grade teachers Bethany Bryan and Amy Nixon.Through goal-setting, prioritizing, the breaking down of data from TPRI (Texas Primary Reading Inventory), and visits from consultants at Region 14, it became apparent that a large part of school improvement at Southeast would include an increase in student achievement and student learning in reading. This year, the school made a point to increase their CAFE (Comprehension, Accuracy, Fluency and Extended Vocabulary) by using the Daily 5 Balanced Literacy Approach. Thus, the campus came up with a vision to increase their CAFE, which in turn would also raise math scores along with the foundation of preparing students for the state testing they would face in their future. By implementing and reorganizing the reading program, the school would build upon the knowledge and skills of teachers, similar programs and provide enriched resources.Through researching schools with the best practices in reading, Southeast found Shallowater Elementary, a school with a Reading First demonstration site. All ten first grade teachers, two second grade teachers and Elliott, Sweetwater ISD Assistant Superintendent Kathy Smartt and the district's Director of Educational Technology, Mike Marlett, visited the school.They took part in classroom observations and interviewed teachers, the principal and the reading coach to gain ideas on how to implement an improved reading program in Sweetwater. Immediately, they began working jointly to plan for professional development, supplies and revamp the school schedule to include a daily, ninety-minute protected--meaning nothing else can interfere during this learning time--reading block in each classroom.Over the summer, all kindergarten and first grade teachers completed extensive training in the Balanced Literacy approach as well as the use of the Daily 5 structure of differentiated instruction, which includes high-quality teaching of Reading to Self, Reading to Someone, Listening to Reading, Word Work and Writing along with meeting with the teacher. Listening centers, leveled readers, computer software and literacy supplies were also purchased for each class.In order to increase the students' reading ability, increasing CAFE is a top priority at Southeast. The school hopes to instill into students the joy of reading while improving skills and test scores by eliminating practices that make reading hard.One program that is continuing at Southeast at the kindergarten level is Certified Learning/SOI as a ninety-minute block on a daily basis. Certified Learning offers three components--computer, workbook and group, which increases perceptual skills of vision, audio and sense integration. By developing these skills early, general learning abilities of cognition, memory, evaluation, problem solving and creativity can be sufficiently founded through the program to increase students' learning abilities.In addition to the Certified Learning, the Bridges lab focuses on sensory integration and visual proceedings for first graders that need a continuation of the SOI program. In October, a consultant visited the school and reported that students are at a farther rate--almost three months ahead--in the program than expected at this time.In addition, the Imagine Learning Language and Literacy computer program is included at the school inside the computer lab. Holding up to 44 students for thirty minutes per day, the program strengthens phonemic awareness and sight work recognition, which is beneficial to English language learners through listening and speaking components.Other extra activities at the campus include a 30 minute block of reading at the library each week for each class. Each student also has 30 minutes of daily Physical Education and fifteen minutes of health instruction from the state's Healthy and Wise curriculum.PBIS--the Positive Behavior Intervention Support--is a district-wide training effort that teaches procedures for the hallway, cafeteria, bathroom and bus to promote positive behavior. And with this year's addition of a school counselor to the Southeast staff, Courtney Martin teachers Character Education and Guidance lessons to students.Successes are celebrated on the campus with regular assemblies honoring perfect attendance and honor roll students on their achievements. Also, an incentive adopted for PBIS is STARS, or Students Achieving Real Success.

Proof positive that my brother and I both fell victim to a similar strange mania at the age of 18. Here, in 1955, a senior in high school and fooling around with his newly-acquired Lordox 35mm camera, he snapped this Kodachrome self-portrait at his desk in our bedroom. Nine years later when I was 18, I shot my records, including the same Shostakovich album, spread out in our living room, as seen here. By that time, "I Like Jazz," a Columbia Records sampler, was no longer around. Posted with my brother's kind acquiescence. View full size.

This is me on a swing at a motel in either Maryland or Delaware sometime in the mid-1970s. It was likely taken by my father, whose shadow appears in the photo, too. I really like this photo -- the sun, the motel architecture (is that an oxymoron?), the photographer's shadow, and especially the red and white pool umbrella. Doesn't it all just scream 1970s?

Method 2: Lacking any of those, make use of your big sister.

This is who the elbow of Time's Person of the Year cover belongs to
Time magazine has paid tribute to the #MeToo movement by naming the "silence breakers" as its Person of the Year - although, of course, this is not just one person but many who have spoken out in recent months against the deeply entrenched and excused culture of sexual harassment in industries from entertainment to politics to agriculture.
As the cover image and accompanying story has circulated around the internet, people have begun to question the decision to crop out the face of one of the women in the cover image.
Some people wondered whether it was an "error", while others assumed the image was a fold-out.
In fact, as Time national correspondent Charlotte Alter explained in an interview with BuzzFeed's morning news show AM to DM, the decision was "very intentional".
"That's an anonymous woman who is a hospital worker who was experiencing harassment and didn't feel that she could come forward," Alter said.
Her inclusion on the cover, alongside pop star Taylor Swift, actor Ashley Judd, former Uber engineer Susan Fowler, corporate lobbyist Adama Iwu and Isabel Pascual, a farm worker from Mexico who requested a pseudonym, is an important reminder of the many women who can only speak out on the condition of anonymity; those who remain effectively silenced.
Alter emphasised the importance of including the stories of women who chose to remain anonymous. "A huge part of this story is that, as much as the stigma around this has been removed this year because of the Me Too movement, it's still really difficult for a lot of women to come forward," she said.
The image is reminiscent of the July 2015 cover of the New Yorker, in which 35 of Bill Cosby's accusers were photographed alongside an empty chair, meant to represent the rest of the women who had accused Cosby but who hadn't gone public with their identities.

As they did for the New Yorker cover, social media users have lauded the inclusion of the anonymous individual on the cover and what it represents.
My absolute favorite part of this @TIME cover is the unnamed elbow in the lower corner. She's everyone else. That's our arm.We all made the cover.#silencebreakerspic.twitter.com/wXDa41skka??? 1ChanceFancy (@1ChanceFancy) December 6, 2017
