Who is it for?
OH2 is for children, parents and local residents.
What's it like?
This expression of Open Heaven meets in Mountfields School, Loughborough. Our aim is for children to grow and flourish and for adults to be equipped and strengthened. Our gatherings are short (1 hour), and packed full of interaction, creativity and fun.
It's relaxed, informal and at times noisy!
We believe children are today's church, not tomorrow's church. We want children to be fully participating members of Open Heaven and create environments where they can outwork their God-given gifts. The adults want to learn from the children as well as helping them discover more about the God who loves them.
OH2 is a place that children and adults love being part of together.
What's the big picture?
Being a disciple (someone who learns from Jesus). It is more than a lifestyle choice – it's a way of life. It involves the whole of our lives and continues through the ups and downs of life. OH2 helps join up some of the dots to make more sense of this life, our relationships, commitments and demands. Together, we share life's beauty and face life's pain. I
We want to continue challenging the adults to be 21st Century disciples in the workplace and as parents and are refusing to 'settle' as we get older. Our desire to follow Christ through the ups and downs of lives filled with demands, means we are intentional about cultivating a spirituality that works and a rhythm of life that sustains us. Our desire is to stay sharp and pursue God hard in this life stage.
Much of life's personal challenges, opportunities and pressures are shared and outworked together midweek, in smaller groups called cells.

Traffic chaos but no road rage from bronze medallist David Stone
8:57pm Wednesday 5th September 2012 in Sport By Sports Desk
Rawdon cyclist David Stone refused to be downbeat despite seeing his dreams of defending his Paralympic time trial crown derailed by a traffic jam at Brands Hatch.
The 31-year-old endured a dominant campaign in Beijing four years ago, topping the podium in both the time trial and the road race but found the going far tougher on home soil.
Competing over one 8km lap of the former British Grand Prix circuit, Stone found himself having to dodge other competitors on a packed day of racing which saw 18 finals in all and two others finishing at the same time as his.
In the end Stone completed the lap in 14.25.66 seconds, second overall, but was dropped into bronze after the time of Australian cyclist Carol Cooke was factored from 15.58.39 to 13.50.54secs to take account of the severity of her disability.
It was a tough result to take for the three time world time trial champion but despite arriving with ambitions of gold he refused to make excuses.
"I'm disappointed I guess because I was hoping for better. It was really hard because there was a lot of traffic on the course and it slowed me down," he said.
"The Australian did a really good ride though and she beat me fair and square so I'm okay with that.
"It was very busy and two of the bikes almost completely blocked me at one point. It wasn't for long but you lose your rhythm and it is hard to get it back. That was disappointing but I'm okay with it and I've got another medal."
Stone has one last shot at gold on Saturday when he bids to defend his remaining Paralympic title in the road race, but is refusing to get ahead of the game.
"It was amazing and it was great to have all the people come out and support us.
"I've got the road race on Saturday and I'm always hopeful and I have a good chance but we will have to wait and see.
"It was a very loud crowd and it was wonderful to be competing at your home Games and to have all of them cheering you round."

ISLAMABAD: Mar 21st, 2012 – Taking another step forward in being a socially responsible organization Ufone sponsored the launch of Islamabad Traffic Police's lane discipline campaign. The objective of this campaign is to educate the drivers of Islamabad about the importance of maintaining one's lane.
Inspector General of police, Bani-Amin Khan was the chief guest for the occasion and inaugurated the campaign. At the launch Ufone helped uplift the face of I-8 Garden Chowk Lane by marking the road lanes with paint, installing sign boards and painting of kerbstones. Ufone has also displayed public service messages regarding lane discipline across major highway routes in Islamabad.
The atmosphere was made lively by traffic police volunteers dressed up as cartoon characters and children dressed in fancy costumes. A number of volunteers were seen handing out flyers which contained information on the importance of lane discipline. To project a soft image of the ITP, candy and flowers were also distributed amongst the general public.
Salman Wassay, Chief Commercial Officer at Ufone and Akbar Khan, Chief Marketing Officer at Ufone were also present at the event. They interacted with the children present on the occasion and took part in handing out the information flyers to the general public along with IG police.
Speaking on the occasion, Salman Wassay said that Ufone was well aware of its social obligation towards the populace and the organization strived to ensure that they supported public service causes such as the 'lane discipline campaign'. He praised the dedication shown by ITP and said that such efforts are what made it an exemplary model for the whole nation. He further stated that Ufone's corporate strategy echoes its long standing commitment of balancing social responsibility alongside growth and productivity. He emphasized on the need for discipline on the roads and off it, stating that as a nation we needed to be more conscious of our responsibilities as good citizens. The efforts of the children present on the occasion were lauded by all officials who were present at the event.

I have held back from commenting on the article by CBSSports.com that polled about 100 college basketball coaches to ask them who they thought the most over rated coach in the business is. The reason I waited to reply I will speak on later. Of course, if I am writing about this poll it must be that head coach Roy Williams is somewhere in the mix. Well, not only is he in the mix, the head man of the North Carolina basketball program was named by 23% of the coaches as the most over rated coach. The quote that was used in the article, written by Gary Parrish, was the following…
"He's won at Kansas and UNC. But who couldn't do that … besides Matt Doherty?"
Before I go on with my post let me just say that these anonymous polls are a bunch of baloney. Someone who wants to say such things should then have the courage to sign it. Way too easy to take pot shots, and not only at Roy Williams but all the coaches in this article, hiding behind the fact that no one will ever know who said what.
I might not know much about other programs, because I am a Tar Heel, but I do know plenty about North Carolina, again, because I am a Tar Heel, and to call coach Williams over rated is pretty close to absurd. Since he has been back in Chapel Hill he has won two national championships (`05 & `09), being just one of four active head coaches to have achieved such a feat. He's been one of the quickest coaches to reach 600 wins, now has 675 wins in all, with a winning percentage of 80% in his 24 years between Kansas and UNC. He's taken his teams to seven Final Four overall, four at KU and three at UNC, fourth ever among coaches, second among active and only coach ever to have taken two separate programs to three Final Fours. And of all the present and former head coaches that have reached 600 wins and have a winning percentage of 80%+ there are two, coach Williams and John Wooden, not a bad club to be part of.
I know that stats, which I could give you more and more of about the man that runs the North Carolina basketball program, can be used any way you want, so let's look at the people that make or break a coach… the recruits. I do not believe that there is one player that believes that coach Williams is over rated, or they would not be coming to Chapel Hill. And of those that have come to UNC since the "over rated" coach has been there, ten have gone on to be a lottery pick in the National Basketball Association. Analysts, experts, main stream media, bloggers, fan bases can say what they want about any coach, but as the old saying goes "the proof is in the pudding". And here the pudding is watching five star recruits and top ranked recruiting classes coming in each and every year. Coach Williams has done that for most of his 24 years as a head coach.
Is head coach Roy Williams perfect? Of course not. Has he reached every goal that he has set out for his team and himself? No, but what coach has? When you put Williams' career on a balance, putting positives on one side and negatives on the other, the scale will be so one sided towards the successes that it's not even close. For anyone to call the UNC head coach over rated is just not true, it's truly disrespectful to a man who has done what most other head coaches in his business will never do.
Naysayers, haters and ABCers are going to have a ball with the article by CBS Sports, and I do not mind, because in the end at Chapel Hill we have the coach we want and I am just fine with it. As I said at the beginning of this post, I held back before writing about this because I did not want to be a homer when doing so. I believe I've done just that. So, maybe everyone can win at Chapel Hill, the reality is that probably most of those coaches that called Roy Williams over rated would never be called to coach there, and that alone makes head coach Roy Williams not over rated, but a class act that will be hard to follow. For more information about UNC basketball and/or football make sure to check back to isportsweb!

Newcastle and Norwich keen on Sporting ace
Newcastle and Norwich are leading the race for Sporting Lisbon striker Ricky van Wolfswinkel, according to reports from talkSPORT.
The Canaries have been tracking the Dutchman for some time, and are believed to have made an approach for his services during January.
Chris Hughton has been linked with a summer move for the 24-year-old, but he may face competition from Newcastle.
The Tyne club are reportedly monitoring the striker, who has hit 22 goals since the start of last season, as they look to strengthen their squad.
Sporting are in a state of financial turmoil, with spiraling debts likely to force sales of star players.
Van Wolfswinkel is one of their most valuable assets, and the Portuguese giants are said to be willing to accept in the region of £10m for his signature.
But, as well as the Premier League pair, teams from Eastern Europe, including Dynamo Kiev, are keen on ex-Utrecht man.
A striker is believed to Norwich's main priority in the transfer market, with the East Anglians managing just 28 goals this season, the third fewest in the division.
Newcastle are also keen for striking reinforcements, after watching their January move for Loic Remy fall through thanks to QPR's spending power.

Little movement is made on 'fiscal cliff' budget talks
(MCT) — WASHINGTON — Congress and the White House appear no closer to an agreement on the year-end budget crisis, although House Speaker John A. Boehner and President Barack Obama have opened lines of communication that could produce a deal later this month.
The president on Thursday enlisted a Virginia family to humanize his effort to preserve tax rates for low- and middle-income households while raising them on the wealthiest 2 percent of Americans. Republicans are fighting to keep the lower rates for everyone.

Would like to buy or trade for a quality (Powermatic, Grizzly, Jet, Laguna, etc...) Bandsaw and Jointer within about 100 miles of Solomon's, MD area.
Rebuilding the shop to construct a few acoustic guitars and need a couple of essentials. Looking for a 14" or larger bandsaw, preferably with a few different sized blades and a decent resaw fence. Primarily I'll be using it to resaw stock and do some fine scroll/trimming work.
I also need a jointer, I'd prefer 8" but 6" will do, tables need to be coplanar and the fence must be well squared. I'll be using a 220vlt circuit for both it would be nice to find machines already wired for 220vlts.
Budget is tight if you are looking for cash, however if anyone is interested in a trade I have a beautiful Gretsch Country Club guitar in immaculate condition ($3000) that I would trade for both tools of good quality. Happy to send some photos to any serious traders.
As a side note also looking for a set of long Paring chisels and a set of water stones.

electricity generation
A dynamically growing renewable energy market will compensate for the phasing out of nuclear energy and reduce the number of fossil fuel-fired power plants required for grid stabilisation. By 2050, 63% of the electricity produced in China will come from renewable energy sources. 'New' renewables – mainly wind, solar thermal energy and PV – will contribute 46% of electricity generation. The following strategy paves the way for a future renewable energy supply:
Rising electricity demand will be met initially by bringing into operation new highly efficient gas-fired combined-cycle power plants, plus an increasing capacity of wind turbines and biomass. In the long term, wind will be the most important single source of electricity generation. Solar energy, hydro-power and biomass will also make substantial contributions.
The installed capacity of renewable energy technologies will grow from the current 119 GW to 1,950 GW in 2050, an enormous increase resulting in a considerable demand for investment over the next 20 years. Figure 6.110 shows the comparative evolution of the different renewable technologies over time. Up to 2020, hydropower and wind will remain the main contributors. After 2020, the continuing growth of wind will be complemented by electricity from biomass, photovoltaics and solar thermal energy.

Big news coming out of the French scene site ps-addict.fr. As news broke a few days ago regarding the method posted by Spanish devs over at Elotrolado on installing E3's CFW 4.30 on PS3 with Factory OFW 3.56. French PlayStation 3 Developer raymanvtwo has now figured out how to install REBUG REX 4.21.1 on more PS3 version (possibly all ps3 versions) with the use of a HARDWARE FLASHER The news has suggested that this will work on any PS3 model, however at this time period reports have varied from one PS3 to another on 3k models and Super Slim 4k models.
As expected this process comes with some big risk. One of the major risk being it could result in a permanently brick console if the process is not followed correctly or if some unknown problem has not been identified yet. So if you are worried of a perma-brick on your console. I would advise to wait this one out and research your model before attempting this process. This process requires a format of the HDD so one would have to backup any data they want saved.
Reports have suggested this works on the 25xx models, but no clear info yet if possible on 3K models or the new Super Slim 4K model.
WARNING: This will format your HDD and could result in a permanent brick!
PSX-Scene is not responsible for any damage you do to your PS3. Please follow the instructions and beware that there is potentially some unknown risk not known at this time.
Rough Translation
Firstly, ensure the validity of your dump, flow rebuilder is the best in the field. Also check that all your fichiez is a different size of 0 bytes (including bootloader_0). If there is a problem, it will help you out.
Now that you have your dump, to see if the offset 200 if you or IFI FI.I with HxD as hexadecimal editor. If you IFI, go to the next step. If you FI.I, open flow rebuilder Select "Byte reverse and extract a NOR dump file." and then made your dump "execute operation". If you get an error is that your dump is not good. Before you dump, you must make new bytes reversed under penalty brick your PS3 but it will be easily retrievable.
Now, you need winskeet and patch (here and here or mirrored here). Winskeet open, go to the tab "patch" in "input file", select your dump file and select the patch. Txt file previously downloaded the archive. Made apply and save your dump patched.
patch1 : OFFSET 0C0010 LEGHT 6FFFE0 patch2 : OFFSET 7C0010 LEGHT 6FFFE0 patch3 : OFFSET 80000 LEGHT 20000 patch4 : OFFSET A0000 LEGHT 20000 patch5 : OFFSET 40000 LEGHT 20000 patch6 : OFFSET 60000 leght 20000
Now write your dump patched (do not forget to do it again if you had reversed bytes FI.I at the top). Now your PS3 Decomposition Systems is no longer able to work, do not worry, this is normal. Go to the recovery menu (it may be that your PS3 shuts herself at the first attempt, the second should succeed). Install CFW Rebug 4.21.1 (available via the "system update").
If after several attempts you are unable to install Rebug CFW 4.21.1, format the HDD, then reinstall the switch on the PS3. On a USB drive to FAT32, put the. Rebug 4.21.1 CFW PUP (available here and here) in x: \ PS3 \ update and rename it to PS3UPDAT.PUP. You will get a message asking to connect a controller and press the PS button, then follow the plug your USB drive, make sure there is no disc in the drive BR, then press START and SELECT at the same time for 3s and follow the instructions to install your CFW. Enjoy.
PS: This method has been tested with the Rebug CFW 4.21.1, if you use another CFW, it will be at your own risk. This method has been tested on a PS3 with the metldr "anti CFW 3.55", it should work on any console. Thank you to give me a feedback on the effectiveness of this method and possible problem. Thank you also include PS-addict and I and keep the links given in this tutorial if you publish on your sites this method.
Finally, thank you to the work of the "Three Musketeers" and the Rebug team has allowed me to patch my PS3.

text: I originally purchased a pair of Capricorn mohair socks (Leicestershire style - knee length) for my wife for those times when she goes horse riding in the cold and damp (who would do such a thing for fun?), then she gave them such a glowing review that a pair appeared for me along with some for a friend who was off on a trip to Iceland in the winter (fun?). And I can report, much as it might pain me to admit it, that the wife and the company are right. They are ideal for motorcyclists. Never mind the horsey lot - these knee length socks are seriously cosy and comfortable. I only resorted to wearing another pair of socks underneath on a few of the very coldest days from Christmas through to the end of winter (May) this year. My feet remained warm and comfortable and below the knee was equally cosy. At £13.95 a pair (plus p&p) these are not cheap socks, but seem to be well made and tough. My wife has had some serious wear out of hers as she wears them to work in the winter as well as for riding and if they can survive her idea of normal wear and tear and still keep going then that could be taken as a recommendation on it's own. But given the price of some of these "miracle" material socks that I've bought in the past only to be disappointed with when my toes go numb with cold and/or damp and maybe they don't look bad value. They do not get smelly easily (I'll not say how often I have washed mine but let's just say not every week, but then I only wear them when out on the bike. Or walking in snow. Or out if frosty. Or having to stand around when taking the kids tobogganing - you get my drift....) and that for me (and my family) is a major plus.... They also seem to keep your feet warm even if damp (useful with sweaty feet or leaky boots), cushion the sole of the foot nicely and have enough elasticity to stay up without cutting off circulation. They wash easily and dry relatively quickly - all good plus points. In fact, the only downsides are the choice of colours which can be limited and the fact that they are very popular pre-Christmas when some colours and varieties can have limited availability. And that they can be too warm to wear inside unless you get really cold feet. And the friend came back from Iceland with toes intact after trudging across a glacier or snowfield - cold anyway. And damp. Capricorn socks can be found online at www.capricornsocks.co.uk

Active Standard ASTM E1219 Developed by Subcommittee: E07.03 |Book of Standards Volume: 03.03
Liquid penetrant examination methods indicate the presence, location, and, to a limited extent, the nature and magnitude of the detected discontinuities. This practice is intended primarily for portability and for localized areas of examination, utilizing minimal equipment, when a higher level of sensitivity than can be achieved using visible process is required. Surface roughness may be a limiting factor. If so, an alternative process such as post-emulsified penetrant should be considered, when grinding or machining is not practical.
1. Scope
1.1 This practice covers procedures for fluorescent penetrant examination utilizing the solvent-removable process. It is a nondestructive testing method for detecting discontinuities that are open to the surface, such as cracks, seams, laps, cold shuts, laminations, isolated porosity, through leaks, or lack of fusion and is applicable to in-process, final, and maintenance examination. It can be effectively used in the examination of nonporous, metallic materials, both ferrous and nonferrous, and of nonmetallic materials such as glazed or fully densified ceramics and certain nonporous plastics and glass.
1.2 This practice also provides a reference:
1.2.1 By which a fluorescent penetrant examination solvent-removable process recommended or required by individual organizations can be reviewed to ascertain its applicability and completeness.
1.2.2 For use in the preparation of process specifications dealing with the fluorescent solvent-removable liquid penetrant examination of materials and parts. Agreement by the purchaser and the manufacturer regarding specific techniques is strongly recommended.
1.2.3 For use in the organization of the facilities and personnel concerned with the liquid penetrant examination.
1.3 This practice does not indicate or suggest standards for evaluation of the indications obtained. It should be pointed out, however, that indications must be interpreted or classified and then evaluated. For this purpose there must be a separate code or specification or a specific agreement to define the type, size, location, and direction of indications considered acceptable, and those considered unacceptable.
1.4 All areas of this document may be open to agreement between the cognizant engineering organization and the supplier, or specific direction from the cognizant engineering organization.
1.5 The values stated in inch-pound units are regarded as standard. SI units given in parentheses are for information only.
1.6 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
2. Referenced Documents (purchase separately) The documents listed below are referenced within the subject standard but are not provided as part of the standard.

Don't get mean on green energy innovation, Bill Gates warns Congress
Microsoft founder Bill Gates is urging senior lawmakers to buck the current zeal for budget cutting and boost federal investment in clean-energy research and development.
Gates — joined by a number of private-sector titans — took to Capitol Hill on Tuesday to argue that a far more muscular role is needed to expand innovation.
"This group are all big believers in innovation, and we are all big believers in the importance of energy innovation," Gates said at a briefing for reporters Tuesday.
Gates is the latest high-profile businessman to push Congress on a White House priority — the energy group's message is a close cousin to President Obama's call to "win the future" with innovation in areas including energy.
He follows famed investor Warren Buffett, who has called for higher taxes on the wealthy. Like Buffett, Gates and the other members of the energy innovation group face a tough battle.
They're pushing for wider investment at a time when Republicans are pushing to cut spending as far as they can — and cutting the deficit is front and center.
"Even though the budget challenges are very tough, we think this is an investment that has a very strong payback," Gates said.
The energy group has identified a range of revenue streams to pay for federal energy investment it would eventually like to see reach $16 billion annually.
This includes tapping some of the billions of dollars in annual federal oil-and-gas revenues, cutting or ending subsidies to "mature" industries such as oil-and-gas, enacting a new federal fee on electricity delivered to consumers, adding a few cents to the federal gasoline tax (the report conceded this is "politically challenging") and even levying a fee on carbon emissions in the long term.
Such proposals are certain to face Capitol Hill headwinds, and the report also comes shortly after the high-profile collapse of California-based solar company Solyndra, which had received $535 million in Obama administration loan support.
The company's bankruptcy has prompted a wave of GOP attacks on Obama administration efforts to boost green energy.
But Bank of America Chairman Chad Holliday, another member of the group, said they were well-received in meetings Tuesday with members of Senate GOP and Democratic leadership, centrist House Republicans, members of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee and others.
The group issued a major report Tuesday, which it is circulating in Congress, that lays out its goals.
The report makes the case for expanding funding for programs including the Energy Department's Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPAE), which funds so-called high-risk, high-reward research into breakthrough green technologies.
Overall, the group notes, federal energy R&D spending has declined sharply since the late 1970s, and the roughly $5 billion in 2010 is far lower than support for medical and defense research.
"There is a need for government to be involved in funding research. We have seen this in the medical sector and the IT sector. The benefits to society of research are broad enough that if you just count on the private sector alone, you have very dramatic underinvestment," Gates said from the headquarters of the Bipartisan Policy Center, the think tank that supports the energy innovation council.
The group's report argues that federal efforts thus far to support clean-energy R&D have been paltry in comparison with other sectors. This is especially worrisome, they say, because when it comes to energy, the private sector has underinvested for various reasons.
"Many energy technologies are capital-intensive and long-lived, with the result that many require significant up-front cash with a slow return. Slow turnover of capital assets combined with the need for large upfront investments mean that the sector as a whole is subject to a high degree of inertia, a tendency to avoid risk and domination by incumbent firms," the report notes.
Overall, it makes the case that a strong federal role in spurring energy innovation is vital.
"If the U.S. fails to invent new technologies and create new markets and new jobs that will drive the transformation and revitalization of the $5 trillion global energy industry, we will have lost an opportunity to lead in what is arguably the largest and most pervasive technology sector in the world. However, if the U.S. successfully innovates in clean energy, our country stands to reap enormous benefits," the report states.
Gates said he recognizes the political challenges.
"We came here more because we believe in what we are saying than that we can run the political calculus better than people who live here," Gates said.
"Right or wrong, we think there is some chance that the research budget will be increased, maybe not to the level we would like, [but] at least when people are setting priorities they ought to know that buried inside that [Energy Department] budget is some basic research and support for ARPA-E and centers of excellence that we think are key investments in the future," he said.

Residence Life
Welcome to Residence Life at Russell Sage
RSC Housing Contract [pdf]
Life in a residence hall is an important aspect of a college education. Residence halls are more than just dorms or places to eat and sleep. They are places where students develop meaningful friendships, explore new ideas and get involved with the College community.
Russell Sage College is committed to the values and benefits of residential living in the college experience. Both the individual student and school community are enriched by the growth and development that evoke from this distinctive aspect of the Sage environment. Because of this strong commitment, the college residence policy requires that all full-time undergraduate students live in campus residence halls.
Part-time students (i.e., those students carrying fewer than 12 credits each semester and less than a total of 24 credits for the year) may submit a written request seeking permission to live on-campus. This request should be submitted to the Dean of Residence.
The undergraduate residence policy supports the Residence Life philosophy. Both provide for a living situation that complements the educational task of the College and encourages positive approaches to community responsibility and personal relations.
Sage believes that residence halls should be active living/learning centers that compliment the academic program of the College. Students can participate in fun, valuable programs, such as cultural dinners, aromatherapy, and movie nights.
Living successfully in residence halls is dependent upon balancing individual freedoms with sensitivity and respect for the rights of others. A willingness to discuss, negotiate, and compromise is essential. Individual and cultural differences make up the unique texture of the residence halls, and students are encouraged to learn from one another.

Louise Erdrich to appear in Oak Park this fall
The Birchbark House by Louise Erdrich
Updated: September 10, 2012 6:13AM
Fans of Louise Erdrich are eagerly awaiting her newest book, The Round House, due out this fall.
Local fans have even more reason for anticipation. Erdrich will deliver this year's Barbara Ballinger Lecture Oct. 23 at Unity Temple. This free lecture, hosted by the Friends of the Oak Park Public Library, honors Ballinger's 25-year term as the library's director.
Now would be a good time to try out or, read more of, Erdrich's work. She's written 13 novels as well as volumes of poetry, short stories, children's books and a memoir of early motherhood. You have nothing to lose — titles may be borrowed from the library in print, audio or ebook format.
Much of Erdirch's writing draws from the Ojibwe tribe she is part of, which leads to authentic and beautiful levels of detail. Her novel Love Medicine won the National Book Critics Circle Award. The Last Report on the Miracles at Little No Horse was a finalist for the National Book Award. Most recently, The Plague of Doves won the Anisfield-Wolf Book Award and was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize.
Set in North Dakota, The Plague of Doves follows several generations of small-town white residents and Ojibwe living on a nearby reservation whose lives are affected by an unsolved murder. It's the first in a planned trilogy to continue with The Round House. Join us Oct. 17 at the library for a discussion of The Plague of Doves.
Younger readers will find Erdrich's Birchbark series appealing. The series, beginning with The Birchbark House and continuing with the upcoming Chickadee, follows young Omakayas and her family through life in the mid-1800s. Erdrich's language is lyrical and Ojibwe words are seamlessly woven into context, bringing Omakayas's world alive. Adventures such as run-ins with a bear family are mixed with the consequences of smallpox and are further balanced with the antics of a little brother and a pet crow. This is a part of history that often gets glossed over or ignored and Erdrich has done a wonderful job of creating stories that will make kids want to know more.
The Birchbark books can be enjoyed by independent readers fourth grade and up and, as a caregiver read-aloud, for second grade and up. In some ways, these books can be seen as a companion to Laura Ingalls Wilder's Little House books — similar time frames, locations and amounts of daily life description. Kids will recognize the universality of an obnoxious younger brother (who's not always bad) and a beautiful big sister (who is sometimes a partner in crime).
Check out one or more of Erdrich's works soon. It will make the evening of Oct. 23 that much richer.
Shelley Harris is a librarian in Children's Services at the Oak Park Public Library.

Greer plea deal: GOP, Crist, Rubio winners
Posted Feb 11, 2013 by William March
Updated Feb 11, 2013 at 01:40 PM
First-blush reactions to the Jim Greer plea deal: The state Republican Party, former Gov. Charlie Crist and Sen. Marco Rubio all stand to gain.
"You can say there are no winners, but realistically, politically speaking, there are," said University of Central Florida political scientist Aubrey Jewett, who's politically neutral.
The number-one winner, he said is the state Republican Party. "No one in the Republican Party of Florida was looking forward to a long, drawn-out trial in which their dirty secrets of fundraising and other things might come out," affecting "a lot of the party leadership and former party leadership," Jewett said.
Retired University of South Florida political scientist Darryl Paulson, a Republican, agreed.
"There's probably a tremendous sigh of relief from the state party headquarters that all its dirty linen won't be washed before the public," he said.
Paulson and Jewett also agreed that the other big winner is former Gov. Charlie Crist, who's considering running as a Democrat for governor.
"Who knows what could have come out at a trial that might have caused him a political embarrassment?" said Jewett. "It takes him off the hook."
The plea deal "frees up" Crist to mount a Democratic primary race, Paulson said.
Crist's appointment of Greer as party chairman may prove to be "an issue Crist will have to deal with," he said, "but I don't think it will be a big issue for him. Someone like Alex Sink may raise it as an issue to question his competence, but he can got through the litany of other successful appointments he made, and acknowledge this was one mistake."
Greer was Crist's hand-picked choice for chairman of the state party after Crist took office as governor in 2007. But the legal charges caused a breach between them, as Greer sought to blame his predicament on party leaders including Crist, whose wishes, he contended, he was carrying out in setting up an allegedly illegal fundraising apparatus from which he profited.
And finally, Jewett noted, the plea apparently means Rubio could be spared the embarassment of testimony about his personal use of a Republican Party credit card while he was state House speaker.
Greer had contended that other party leaders besides himself, including Rubio, used the party as a personal piggy bank. Rubio has contended he repaid all expenses he charged to the party credit card and hasn't been charged with any wrongdoing. But the issue arose in the 2010 Senate race between Crist and Rubio, and conceivably could arise again.
"It helps anyone who had a party credit card, including Marco Rubio," Paulson said. "I assume the Republican Party's strategy will be that Greer has pled guilty, has admitted he was at fault, and we will have nothing more to say about it. The veil of silence will fall pretty quickly over everybody who's been mentioned."

For the first time ever, I find myself in total agreement with Ron Paul wow!
Check out his statement regarding the "anniversary" of 9/11 . Everything here I can agree with. No matter what else you may think about his views, and his past statements – this was a sensible statement that surely took courage to make.
It seems that he also mentioned it at the last CNN/Tea Party debate and was roundly booed for it.
Two things stand out for me here:
1. Does Ron Paul really want to go there? He must remember the reception this stance received during the primaries of 2007 – being made ridiculous by Giuliani and others. He was accused of changing his mind then, of being unpatriotic and whatnot – and he really wants to repeat the experience? No matter what else, you have to admire his courage and character for standing by his beliefs in the face of hysteria. Which brings us to:
2. Now is this a case of the revolution devouring its own children? (or its godfather?) Compared with the surreal arguments, groups and shouting of the Tea Party in 2011, the responses in 2007 seemed measured and rational. So when will the grown-ups in the Republican Party wake up, smell the manure and react? Maybe we should ask if there are any grown-ups left in the GOP. It certainly does not seem to be the case.

I can tell you that I had way too much fun, both decorating and photographing my new mantels, but I truly don't mind!… Read More

QinetiQ North America has won a new three-year, $20 million task order to provide technical and other support services to the Marine Corps.
Under the award, QinetiQ NA will assist the Marine Corps Systems Command with logistics, engineering and administrative support for the Global Combat Support System - Marine Corps/Logistics Chain Management Increment 1 program, the primary technology enabler for the Marine Corps Logistics Modernization strategy, according to a March 7 QinetiQ announcement.
The program is a modern, commercial off-the-shelf enterprise resource planning system that will allow warfighters to meet their missions while deployed. When fielded to a unit, operators will be able to execute supply and related maintenance actions. QinetiQ will replace four 40-year-old legacy supply and maintenance IT systems.
Future increments will enhance capabilities in warehousing, distribution, logistics planning, decision support, depot maintenance and integration, and will also include emerging technologies to improve asset visibility, the announcement said.
The task order was awarded under QinetiQ North America's Commercial Enterprise Omnibus Support Service (CEOss) contract.
QinetiQ Group PLC, of McLean, Va., ranks No. 43 on Washington Technology's 2011 Top 100 list of the largest federal government contractors.

In late May, the Obama administration excused 8 more states from the No Child Left Behind legislation, totaling the number of freed states to 19.
To qualify for exclusion, states must meet standards that exceed the original legislation's requirement… that all students be proficient in English and math by 2014. Because No Child Left Behind was criticized as being too open-ended, states that have met exceedingly tougher standards have had no conflict being released.
Arne Duncan, U.S. Secretary of Education, warned that nearly 80% of U.S. states could fail this year's annual progress benchmark towards the 2014 goal, especially since many states have interpreted their own proficiency standards that were too low or unattainable.
18 additional waiver requests are pending as new programs elaborate on No Child Left Behind, setting performance standards in a longer amount of time.
