Wording Creates Images - Plant Some Ideas!
Lesson 3 of 6
Objective: SWBAT determine the meaning of words and phrases and how the author uses imagery to add meaning to the text.
- The Tiny Seed Eric Carle
- Lesson vocabulary words from the Reading/Writing word wall: informational text, words, illustrations, imagery, figurative language, simile
- Set up the whiteboard
- The Tiny Seed - Vocabulary organizer
- SIP chart (Sentence-Illustration-Parts of a Word)
** I chose this book because it is a classic elementary text and supports our current science study. All of my students have read an Eric Carle book and are familiar with his style of writing. This book has excellent illustrations and the text is rich with descriptions and simile. Although this is a story, this book is listed as informational text. The events that happen are real and it has rich academic vocabulary that connects to our Science unit on plants.
I've done several lessons with the SIP strategy with informational text. They include What's the Word Mean-Informational Text and New Words and Connecting Ideas.

Let's Get Excited!
Underlined words below are lesson vocabulary words that are emphasized and written on sentence strips for my Reading & Writing word wall. I pull off the words off the wall for each lesson, helping students understand this key 'reading and writing' vocabulary can be generalized across texts and topics. The focus on acquiring and using these words is part of a shift in the Common Core Standards towards building students' academic vocabulary. My words are color coded 'pink' for literature/'blue' for reading strategies/'orange' for informational text/'yellow' for writing/'green' for all other words)
Common starting point
- Talk with the students about seeds that grow. You can specifically talk about a dandelion and what happens when it dies and releases the seeds.
- This is a great video to engage the kids about the life cycle of a flower.
- What words could we use to describe that illustration? I brought a book with some great words and imagery that will help us describe what happens to a flower."

Teacher's Turn
Give the purpose of the lesson
(In this section, you'll see how I gradually release the task of identifying and interpreting figurative language in the text to the students.)
- "This book is full of GREAT figurative language. This author uses these phrases to help us connect what happens to the seed to what happens to people. He also uses similes to compare the seeds to other things. A simile is a way of comparing using words such as 'like' or 'as'."
- "Today we will find phrases that add meaning to the text because they connect the actions of a non-person to a person and use similes."
- "We will also describe the meaning of the phrases in relation to the object and identify the similes."
Introduce strategy - teacher models
- Read the first 2 pages about Autumn. "What does it mean when the author says, 'Will it be able to keep up with the others?' Can the seed make itself 'keep up'? Does the seed think about 'keeping up' with the other seeds? Can you connect this with a time when you wanted to 'keep up' with others?"
- Read the next 2 pages. "It says the seed 'flies too high...' . Can a seed fly? It also says the seed 'sails on'. Can a seed sail? Why does the author use this descriptive language?" Take ideas - you're wanting the students to connect the seed to a bird flying or a ship sailing.
- Read the next pages about the mountain. "On these pages, the author uses a simile, "as fast as' to help us compare how the seed flies."
- We make a list of figurative language ideas on the whiteboard.
Practice strategy - guided practice
- Can you help me find the descriptive language and the similes on the next 2 pages? Read the pages about the ocean. "Can you connect what the seed is doing to what people do? Yes it says 'flies' and 'drowns'. There's also a simile that compares the seed and says it does not go 'as high as'."
- "There is a sentence that says the seed 'burst." What does that mean?" Here is how we practiced using the SIP strategy.
- This was what the whiteboard looked like when we were done.

Students Take a Turn
Explain the task
- "I'm going to continue reading. I'll pause at the end of each page and give you a minute to think about 1-2 words that you heard that might show imagery. They could be a simile or just some great figurative language. "
- "Write them on the petals of your flower."
Read and Pause for students to write
- You may need to prompt students as they are working. My kids needed help with spelling.
- It really became more of a group project, though the kids did have different ideas.
- Here's how I prompted one student to find imagery in the text.
- This was an example of a completed worksheet.
- As students finish their work, ask them about their thinking. Did the imagery help you? Was this easy to do? Did you like the figurative language in the story? Here's one of my student's reflections.
I'm using this rich text and vocabulary to helps students recognize how the author uses specific words to create images. This kind of wording allows the reader to picture the events in his mind and enriches the text. The Core Standards encourage students to use 'close reading' to analyze a text as they read. They should bring in background knowledge and connect to the words and events in a story to deepen comprehension. As students look specifically that the vocabulary choices that the author uses, they can appreciate that imagery. When students describe who the words and phrases supply meaning to the story, (RL.2.4) they are able to deepen their comprehension of the story.

Share What You've Learned
Finish the project and wrap up
- "Now you can have a few minutes to color your flower."
- "Think about the colors that Eric Carle uses - are they dull or bright?" Prompt for bright.
- "Can you make your flower look like the images that we saw in the story?"
- Here are 2 of my students projects - student project 1 and student project 2.
Scaffolding and Special Education: This lesson could be scaffolded up or down, depending on student ability.
This is a tougher lesson for students with language challenges because the text is so dependent on figurative language, which is usually more difficult for these students. I would encourage you to work with them as a group separately or pair them with a partner.
For students with higher language, touch on their abilities as you walk around asking kids about their ideas. They need to be challenged...'Why did you choose that for figurative language? What does that mean to you? Can you tell me how the simile helped you to understand? Can you think of another simile that would fit?"

Academic Departments
UPEACE's academically rigorous and diverse curriculum challenges students to combine serious theoretical study with meaningful real-world learning experiences in a multi-cultural environment.
As an organisation committed to the goals of the United Nations, UPEACE focuses on providing high quality teaching and training in critical areas of international concern. Faculty at UPEACE are both serious academics and experienced practitioners. Our professors teach, mentor, and invest in the success of every student.
The Masters programmes offered by UPEACE are intrinsically interdisciplinary. This contributes greatly to the holistic knowledge acquired by students; coursework draws from economics, political science, international relations, sociology and other academic disciplines, as well as from areas such as development studies, environmental studies and gender studies. While all programmes maintain a focus on the core concepts of peace, by drawing from these diverse areas, they also seek to provide students with robust frameworks of analysis that will enable them to understand the complex challenges now facing the international community.
In this respect, another key dimension of the UPEACE programmes is a commitment to multiculturalism and diversity of perspectives. This approach is mainstreamed throughout all programmes, from their design, to the identification of professors and lecturers, to the composition of the student body. By ensuring that a wide range of national, regional, cultural, religious, gender and other perspectives are represented, UPEACE programmes enhance the opportunity for all involved to engage in thoughtful and nuanced dialogue about current, challenging international issues.
Whatever Masters program students choose, they acquire a solid foundation in peace and conflict studies. UPEACE is proud to offer 11 Masters Programmes within three Academic Departments:

So you're toting a few extra pounds and sagging in some places you weren't before. So what? Your body is still sexy and incredible. Here's how to believe it!
"Mushy tushy, mushy tushy!" I remember giggling as I jiggled my mom's cottage-cheesy butt. I couldn't have been more than 3, because her rear end was at my eye level as she dressed in front of the bedroom mirror. "You just wait until you have kids. You won't think it's so funny then," she said, tickling me.
In case you doubt karma's power, when my twin girls, Sasha and Vivian, were 4, they adored sitting on my thighs, kneading my none-too-taut tummy, and screaming, "Wiggle, wiggle! Mommy's belly's in the Wiggles!" Damn the Disney Channel.
My daughters were too young to realize that a squishy front or behind is often considered a curse, not a plaything (and at age 7 now, they thankfully still are). But the truth is, all kids -- myself included -- see their moms as dazzling goddesses, and in no way can a little cellulite detract from that. It's high time we took their cue and made peace with our post-kid shapes.
It's not easy
But unless you're one of the .00073 percent of women who can't wait to pose in a bikini on the cover of a national magazine a month after giving birth, you may be miserably refusing to accept your new figure, even stopping short of buying clothes to fit your current shape or of shedding them in front of your mate. It's disheartening that so few of us can revel in our bodies' life-bearing capabilities, but it's also not surprising. Most women aren't happy with their looks in the first place. So it's not like the physical changes wrought by pregnancy, delivery, and just getting a little older -- weight gain, stretch marks, spider veins, belly overhang, among others -- are going to make us feel better.
These insecurities can become cemented when we're thrown into the often out-of-control first year of parenthood. Tack on another child (or a third), and the stress of it all can make any mom feel vulnerable in lots of areas. "Times of transition are when negative feelings about your body tend to bubble up," says Margo Maine, Ph.D., author of The Body Myth. When it's too complicated to deal with the new emotions that having a child makes you face, you focus on old complaints.
"After giving birth, I thought, I'd walk out in my prepregnancy jeans, but I wound up leaving the hospital in pants I wore when I was six months pregnant," says Melissa Rickey, a mom of two in Russellville, OH. (Looking six months pregnant postpartum is totally normal and to be expected, by the way.) "It was somehow easier for me to deal with being upset about that than the fact that I now had to care for a little, fragile person I knew nothing about."
If you're working outside the home during these tumultuous times, it can be even harder to accept your new figure, says Maine. When you're at home, it might be that few people besides your husband, your baby, and some mom friends see your body, but at work, it's on display for all of your coworkers. They may not actually be scrutinizing you, but it's harder to feel good about your shape when there are thin non-moms around and you're busting the buttons on your shirts every a.m., trying to fit back into your work clothes.
Then there's Heidi Klum, the fembot mom who turned the post-pregnancy figure into a cottage industry -- and sparked an insane game of one-upmanship when it comes to "getting your body back." Even if you've got a highly tuned bullsh*t meter and you know that Angelina Jolie's apparent two-day bounce-back after a twin delivery isn't normal or necessary, it's hard not to feel like you should be able to wear low-rise jeans to the two-week pediatrician appointment. "I had my baby a week after Denise Richards had hers," says Tiffany Haller, a mom of two in Santa Barbara, CA. "Six weeks postpartum, she looked great -- and I still looked pregnant."
Embracing your shape
But wouldn't it be nice if we didn't care? After all, Denise Richards might look good in a bathing suit, but I highly doubt any of us would want Charlie Sheen for a baby daddy. For real, though: Having a positive self-image affects so many aspects of your mom life -- from being able to take charge in chaotic situations to teaching your children to love their own bodies -- that your whole family stands to benefit from your body confidence. The happy news is that it really is possible to feel good about the way you look.
And while I'm loath to launch into the dreaded diet-and-exercise spiel, exercise can do wonders for improving one's body image and mood. (And if it helps you lose some weight, which in turn makes you like your body better, dandy.) The key is not to let exercise be as much of a bludgeon to body image as it is a booster. I sometimes force myself to do Abs of Steel after everyone else has gone to bed, even though I'm sleepy, too. "I'm just taking care of myself," I reason. While the workout may be good for my body, doing another tedious chore after a long day isn't good for my spirit. Instead of a punishing workout during which I "feel the burn," as the perky lady in the video urges me to do, I think I'd be better off curling up on the couch to watch Mad Men DVDs. It would be a nice reward for all my hard work, even nicer, perhaps, than firmer abs.
Another trick: Set goals you can accomplish ("Take a brisk walk with the baby this week"), instead of ones that doom you to failure ("Get back to my college weight by my class reunion"). And cut yourself some slack for a while. "Just like you've had to slow down the rest of your life because you've had kids, you need to slow down your expectations for your body," says Maine. If you eat relatively right and gradually begin exercising, your body will get to where it should be again. Plus, even everyday activities can help you burn calories. Drop the notion that "where your body should be" is where Victoria Beckham's is -- or even where yours was prebaby -- and you'll make life easier on yourself. Gently work up to exercising for a half hour five times a week, which is recommended for your health, not just your figure.
Appreciating our assets
More than what we do, though, it's what we think that makes the biggest difference when it comes to enjoying our mom bods. My friend Kate Miller, who lives in Providence, RI, loved every second of being pregnant and enjoys a Dalai Lama -- like serenity with her body now. "I'm about ten pounds heavier than I was, but my shape fits me and reflects my maturity as a forty-year-old mother of two," she says. "Having kids gives you a pass. I've been through the war twice and nobody can tell me that I need to do this or that with my body. I don't care what your societal expectations are!"
While rare, she's not the only woman to find that motherhood can destroy a negative body image. "Some women are so ready for this life stage that they feel the battle with their bodies is over," says Maine. "They love being moms so much that it over-shadows the angst about not looking exactly how they'd like."
"I'm sexier and more curvaceous now," says Stacey Koutroubinis of Fort Lee, NJ. "Yes, there are stretch marks that weren't there before, but I have confidence now that I never had before, and I enjoy sex much more."
As for me, I'm thinking of asking Kate to make me an inspirational tape that I can play whenever I catch myself berating my body, which most often happens when I'm getting dressed for work: My underwear doesn't fit and my girls are flinging oatmeal at each other, using my butt as a shield to hide behind. But when things are calmer (and I'm fully dressed!), I think I look pretty good. I guess I'm like many moms -- too busy and too tired to devote too much time to inch-pinching and calorie counting.
And it's difficult not to laugh just as hard as my daughters do when they watch their little fingers disappear into my belly fat. My girls keep me honest. If I so much as think, "Ugh, your butt didn't used to droop down the back of your thighs like that!" I issue a reminder to treat myself as I do Vivian and Sasha -- with kindness, love, and acceptance. If I wouldn't make such a comment to them, I try not to think it about myself.
Ping-Pong Counts!

Bears Beat Down Trojans
Bunker Hill used a three-headed rushing attack to amass almost 600 years on the ground as the Bears defeated Bandys 49-20.
The victory marks the first for Bunker Hill over Bandys in nine straight games, and it solidifies the Bears' chances of a playoff berth when pairings are announced Saturday.
"That is one of the biggest wins that has happened here at The Hill in many, many years," said Bunker Hill head coach Travis Conner. "We are just real excited about it, and we are looking forward to the playoffs. We didn't just make the playoffs to go to the playoffs. We made the playoffs to get in there and win some games."
With the win, Bunker Hill improves to 7-4, 3-4 in conference play. Losses by Draughn and West Caldwell knotted all three schools in the Catawba Valley Athletic Conference standings, with 3-4 conference records. The Bears, however, have the better overall record, and sit in the fourth-place spot in the conference.
The Bears' success on the ground helped Bunker Hill build momentum as they hope to find a seat in the championship tournament. On Friday, Bunker Hill posted 597 yards of offense — all on the ground, and two Bears posted rushing nights over 200 yards, while a third topped 160.
"All the credit goes to the offensive line," Conner said. "They played their guts out out here and opened up a lot of big running lanes for our backs to run through."
Junior running back Reggie Davis rushed for 219 yards and a touchdown on 20 carries, while his senior backfield partner Davontaye Wilson posted 161 yards and a touchdown on 12 carries.
"We came out with a lot of hard work and we came out with a finish — a big finish" Wilson said.
Sophomore Justin Lynch led the Bear rushing attack with 267 yards rushing and two touchdowns on 17 carries. Lynch had long scoring runs of 70 and 68 yards.
"I just played hard. This is our last game of the season, and I just tried my hardest, and my teammates blocked for me," Lynch said, adding that on the long runs, he tried to follow in the footsteps of his upper classmen teammates. "I look up to Reggie (Davis) and Davontaye (Wilson), and their speed. I want to be like them. I just get out there, and look to the end zone. When I see people chasing me I just run around them."
Lynch ran around opponents midway through the first quarter. After Bandys' Landon Jones recovered an early Bear fumble, Trojan quarterback David Barrow connected with Kenny Hodge on 43-yard pass play that put Bandys ahead 6-0.
Four plays later Lynch broke through the line of scrimmage, ran around and outran Bandys defenders to go 68 yards into the end zone. Alonzo Lopez's PAT put Bunker Hill ahead 7-6.
The Bears never trailed again.
Bunker Hill quarterback Joe Litton scored on a 1-yard sneak to increase the lead to 14-6 in the first quarter. In the second quarter, Lynch capped a three-play, 88-yard drive with his 70-yard scoring scamper. Wilson added a 56-yard touchdown run, and Davis scored on a 68-yard run to give Bunker Hill a 28-6 halftime lead.
"We got a lesson in smash-mouth football tonight. They played good and they have got a good football team and it is very physical," Bandys coach Randy Lowman said, adding the Trojans "problem" all year has been getting beat by more physical teams. "We just weren't able to stop drives, stop big plays and get the ball back, and they cashed them in when they needed to."
Bandys scored again in the third quarter when Barrow connected with Hodge on a 67-yard touchdown pass. Barrow finished the night with 181 passing yards and two touchdowns on eight completions in 19 attempts. Hodge caught seven passes for 170 yards and two touchdowns.
On the ground, Devan Davis led Bandys with 53 yards on eight carries, while Tewon Smith added 24 yards on 14 carries.
Ryan Holeman added a late 1-yard touchdown run for the Trojans.
Late in the game, the Bears added a couple of more scores on 2-yard scoring runs by Will Garrett and Gequan Peoples. People's score capped a nine-play, 90-yard drive that consumed clock and all but sealed the 49-20 victory for the Bears.
Bandys falls to 3-8, 1-6 in Catawba Valley Athletic Conference Play. The Trojans will miss the playoffs for the first time since 2001.

- 4 November 2009 at 14:07
Funny you should ask this now. A friend of mine committed suicide last Saturday. He was 31 years old and one of 3 or 4 local DJ's we have in town. We shared a love of electronic music, among other things. I also am a volunteer co-host of a radio show on our local NPR affiliate. My next show is Friday the 13th and I will come back and post my play list when I finalize it.

Salem's "Deepburn" is a good melancholy track. Junior Boys, Robert Palmer, maybe a little The Tear Garden, some Kate Bush, The Magnetic Fields and Sally Shapiro. Not necessarily in that order.
- 4 November 2009 at 18:33
- Andy LeClair said...
Honestly, when i'm feeling in the shitter, I throw down on some classic rock. Thin Lizzy, Tom Petty, Journey, etc. Something about a ripping guitar solo just pulls me out of the gutter.
If I'm feeling sad and want to stay that way, though, is usually some Smiths, Depeche Mode, shit in that vein.
- 4 November 2009 at 18:39
cut/copy, i enjoy my sadness with this guys. and roy rogers, daft punk, cridamoure, and junior jack for fun. and vinyl fever

Daft Punk works but Robyn and Lenny Kravitz are my favorite stuffs!
- 4 November 2009 at 23:29
I find that no matter what the situation of me feeling sad, there is a Death Cab for Cutie song that fits in perfectly. Keso, you're a legend for liking them.
And there's always a song on one of The O.C Soundtracks.. Ahh, the memories.

hello Prez
well, I'm not good at denying my feelings so I never put anything euphoric on, if I'm sad or upset. I basicly choose a couple of tracks appropiate for my situation. The 'In Rainbows' Radiohead album holds quite a few treasures in a melancholic sense. But one of my favorites atm is 'Love Is The End' by Keane or Nude (SayCet remix) by Radiohead (:
- 5 November 2009 at 12:27
Deadmau5 - Strobe
- 5 November 2009 at 13:24
- ScottyB said...
Deadmau5... any of his tunes in any particular order...
...and, strangely, David Gray - 'Please Forgive Me'
- 5 November 2009 at 14:20
the whole of Air's Moon Safari. I love that album so much.
- 5 November 2009 at 15:42
- Brad said...
Portishead. In fact if i'm happy and I hear Portishead, I get sad
- 5 November 2009 at 15:56
Depends when i'm down I listen to Fred Falke to cheer m up when I get sad I put some Flying Lotus or Nosaj Thing
and the song that I listen to to go with my mood when i'm down is the Louis La roche rmx of Room 44
- 5 November 2009 at 19:43
NIN - the Downward Spiral
Anything by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds or Portishead
Slipknot, usually something off 'Slipknot'
Jackson and His Computer Band always gets me back up as does Philip Glass, Parliament, Lindstrom, Breakbot....

I love video games. I love them so much that I've dedicated my life to finding ways to use this wonderful medium to inspire others, get across clear messages, and provide fun experiences to all age ranges. I'm a freelance game designer mostly active in my own projects. Though I'm a designer, I have a huge amount of experience in animation, music, and sociology, with rudimentary knowledge in various coding languages. My general duties in projects are to design, illustrate, provide basic code work, organize, animate, create gameplay builds, and research credible concepts, from the very beginning of game development to the very end. My only goal is to make games that'll put a smile on someones face and maybe even give them a new way at looking at life, as precious as it is. This, along with my love for gaming, is what I live for. =D

Total public and private spending for health care in the United States increased to nearly $2.8 trillion in 2012, or nearly $9,000 per person, according to a government report released Monday.
That 3.7 percent increase from 2011 marked the fourth straight year that national health care spending has grown at the lowest rates ever recorded in the 53 years that the data has been tracked.
"The low rates of national health spending growth and relative stability since 2009 primarily reflect the lagged impacts of the recent severe economic recession," when many Americans lost job-based health coverage and postponed or reduced their doctor visits and medical care as a result, said Anne B. Martin, an economist in the Office of the Actuary at the federal Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.
Because total health spending grew more slowly than gross domestic product, the share of the economy devoted to health care fell slightly in 2012 to 17.2 percent, from 17.3 percent in 2011. It was the first such decline in health care spending as a share of the nation's overall economic output since 1997.
Spending for health services typically stabilize two to three years after a recession, as pre-negotiated prices for medical services work their way through the health system and more people become eligible for public programs like Medicaid, said Aaron Catlin, deputy director of CMS' National Health Statistics Group.
The aftermath of a recession also causes employers to adjust the type and generosity of coverage they provide, while consumers curb their consumption of medical care.
"Those types of decisions are not often immediately impacted during a recession," Catlin said. "You see those changes in behavior occur several years after the recession."
From 2010 to 2012, Martin said, the Affordable Care Act has had a "minimal effect" on aggregate national health care expenditures, accounting for an increase of less than one-tenth of 1 percent over the three-year period.
Provisions of the health law that have positively and negatively affected health care spending include Medicaid rebates for prescription drugs, expanded Medicare drug coverage and dependent coverage for children under age 26. Another contributing factor has been the law's requirement that insurers spend at least 80 percent of premium revenue on medical claims or quality improvements.
The real impact of the health care law on national health expenditures won't be reflected in a meaningful way until 2014 data is detailed. That will include the impact of an estimated 9 million-plus new Medicaid recipients and millions of Americans who must purchase health coverage in 2014 or face a fine under the law's individual mandate.
Many wonder if the improving growth rates reflect a larger, more fundamental change in the health sector that will endure. The report's authors were unable to answer that question in an article that summarized their findings in the January issue of the journal Health Affairs.
"From our perspective, more historical evidence is needed before concluding that we have observed a structural break in the historical relationship between the health sector and the overall economy," the report stated.
The overall growth in 2012 health expenditures was driven by spending increases for hospital care – the largest component of national health spending – patient out-of-pocket expenses, physician and clinical services and spending for Medicaid, the federal-state insurance program for the poor and disabled.
Offsetting those increases were notable declines in 2012 spending growth for retail prescription drugs, nursing care services, private health insurance and expenditures for Medicare, the federal health insurance program for older Americans.
Spending for hospital services, which grew by 4.9 percent and totaled $882 billion in 2012, was mainly because of higher prices and greater use of higher-level care. Spending for physician and clinical services grew 4.6 percent in 2012 to $565 billion because of increased usage and greater complexity of services being sought.
Spending for Medicaid increased 3.3 percent in 2012 to $421.2 billion. That's up from a 2.4 percent increase in 2011. Both increases represented the smallest growth rates in the program's history, except for 2006 when the Medicare prescription drug benefit was implemented. The new drug benefit changed the way Medicaid paid for some beneficiaries' prescription drugs.
Out-of-pocket spending for co-pays and deductibles reached $328 billion in 2012, up 3.8 percent from 2011 because of increased cost sharing for physician and clinical services.
Spending for prescription drugs reached $263.3 billion in 2012, up just 0.4 percent from 2011. The slow growth was because of a large number of blockbuster drugs, like Lipitor, Plavix and Singulair, losing their patent protection, which led to greater sales of cheaper generic equivalents.
Premiums for private health insurance grew by 3.2 percent, to $917 billion, in 2012. That's down from a 3.4 percent increase in 2011. The slower growth rate was mainly because of lower overall enrollment growth and increased enrollment in cheaper high-deductible plans.
Medicare spending grew slightly in 2012, reaching $572 billion, even though the program's enrollment jumped 4.1 percent for the largest one-year bump in 39 years as the first wave of aging baby boomers began joining the program. Despite the enrollment increase, Medicare spending grew at a slower rate in 2012 than in 2011 because of a one-time payment reduction for skilled nursing facilities.

DIME at a glance
Potential students: A temporary location at 1520 Woodward Ave. houses the school's admissions office and performance space. It is open 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Monday-Saturday.
Potential bands: Should call the admissions office at (313) 223-1600 if interested in performing in the space.
For more info: www.dime-detroit.com
Clarification appended
Organizers of the Detroit Institute of Music Education opened the school today at a temporary location on Woodward until its permanent space opens this fall in the Dan Gilbert-owned Bamlet Building on Griswold Street and Grand River Avenue.
Crain's first reported the opening of DIME earlier this week; founders said Detroit would be a test market for a larger concept that eventually could lead to schools in other markets, such as New Orleans; Memphis, Tenn.; and Chicago.
"We decided to bring the college to Detroit based on the enthusiasm we found," said Kevin Nixon, one of the founders, during a news conference attended by about 75 people today inside the temporary space.
The DIME pop-up space, equipped with a stage and sound system, also will feature regular entertainment events.
Nixon, Sarah Clayman and Bruce Dickinson - all veterans of the British music industry - founded DIME after passing on an opportunity to work on a music education effort with "American Idol."
Farmington Hills-based Beringea LLC will invest $3 million in the college. "This is a business model that was perfected in the U.K., and the founders of that business were looking for a spot in the U.S. to take it," Charlie Rothstein, Beringea's senior managing director, told Crain's. "And Detroit is the perfect place to take it."
Gilbert also attended the school's opening today. "This is not a startup venture - these guys are very successful," he said. "This is the type of business we need in Detroit," Gilbert said, noting that DIME is a business that will attract young people who will contribute to the city's comeback.
The band Wildflowers played two songs at the school's opening event. Lead singer Siddy Bennett and guitarist James Ashbury attended Nixon's music college in the United Kingdom, while two members, drummer Valerie Klaft and bass guitarist Elise McCoy are from Detroit.
After hearing so many depressing stories about Detroit, Nixon said he was very surprised at the energy he found in the city when he visit for the first time.
"The positivity in this city boils over; this town is fantastic," he said.
Nixon said the great secret of Detroit is its cultural treasures, and that the Guardian and Fisher buildings are "up there with Venice."
He described the music scene in Detroit as 10 separate musical communities, which he hopes to bring together in downtown Detroit, which he said currently lacks such a community. Although, Nixon said his dream for the music school is to discover the next Marvin Gaye.
"It's a personal dream of mine," he said.
Editor's note: An earlier version of this story contained an incomplete quote by Dan Gilbert. This version of the story is correct.

University Amphitheater
The University Amphitheater, adjacent to the Alexander Kasser Theater, is a 2000-seat outdoor venue originally constructed in 1936. A reminder of a campus from pre-World War II, the stone structure is regarded as more than just a popular gathering place; it is a historic icon which evokes memories for generations of alumni. Although its natural open space makes it a perfect place for public gatherings, the amphitheater also serves as a private retreat for students. They often claim a small section on one of the 30 rows of steps, which proves to be the perfect setting for a conversation or simple solitude. Today the amphitheater continues to be used for special performances, festivals, classes, convocations, as well as a speaking ground for special events.

October 1, 1997
To: Vice Presidents, Deans, Directors, Department
Chairs and Administrative Heads
From: President Robert L. Caret
Subject: Accommodations for Students with Disabilities (Supersedes PD 95-04)
San José State University is committed to providing an inclusive environment which is responsive to the needsof all students. To promote and ensure this inclusion, appropriate accommodations guaranteed by law are provided to individuals who have verified disabilities.
This document describes the University's policy and guidelines for securing accommodations for students with disabilities, as well as the procedures for resolving disputes.
It is the purpose of this Presidential Directive to assure that San José State University continues to comply with federal and state legislation and California State University policies regarding the provision of services to students with disabilities.
This Presidential Directive has been developed in response to the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990; Section 504 of the Federal Rehabilitation Act of 1973; State of California ACR 201 (1976), ACR 3 (1985), AB 746 (1987); and the "Policy for the Provision of Services to Students with Disabilities," coded memorandum AAES 89-07, the California State University System.
Since 1972 the University has had a program that provides academic support services and counseling for students who have physical, emotional, learning and other verified disabilities. The Disability Resource Center, DRC, (formerly Disabled Student Services) assists the University with its effort to promote an accessible learning environment by providing diagnostic assessment, sign language interpreters, reader services, specialized test taking arrangements, notetaker services and liaison to faculty and staff. In addition, the Disability Resource Center provides academic counseling, disability management and advising, as well as training on adaptive computers through the High Technology Center (HTC).
It is the policy of San JoséState University (SJSU) that otherwise qualified students who have disabilities shall be given academic adjustmentsand auxiliary aids as necessary to ensure access k to all SJSU services, programs and activities. SJSU accommodates students with disabilities on an individual basis, based on their specific needs. SJSU will timely provide academic adjustments and auxiliary aids to students with disabilities as necessary to ensure access to all SJSU services, programs and activities. These accommodations may include extended time and/or alternative formats for exams, readers, library assistance, interpreters, notetakers and additional time to complete assignments. Accommodations will not be provided if they fundamentally alter the nature of the program. Students requesting accommodations are encouraged to identify their needs as early as possible to the Disability Resource Center.
- In order to receive formal services, including accommodations for specific disabilities, students must provide the DRC with clear documentation of a disability from an appropriate professional who has knowledge of the impairment. The DRC staff reserves the right to request additional documentation or a second opinion when necessary. Accommodations are provided on a case-by-case basis. Students are encouraged to inform faculty members about their specific needs at the beginning of each semester but are not required to do so.
- When a student presents the appropriate forms or paperwork (e.g., a signed Test Accommodation Form) to the faculty, it indicates that the student has met with a DRC coordinator who has reviewed the disability verification and approved the listed accommodation.
- It is recommended that students advise faculty of any needed accommodations at the beginning of the semester, or as soon as practical, but no fewer than five working days prior to the needed accommodation. Such notice is required regardless of who administers the accommodation, be it the faculty member or DRC staff. In the event DRC administers the exam, students are advised to allow sufficient time for the faculty member to sign the authorization form and for the student to return the form to DRC. As noted above, such notice must be received no fewer than five working days prior to the needed accommodation.
- Faculty may contact the DRC to inquire whether the accommodation has been authorized.
- Students who require accommodations of the physical environment (i.e., furniture, lighting, elevators, etc.) must make their needs known to the appropriate DRC staff member, or the Facilities Development & Operations (FD&O) in a timely manner.
- Information about an individual's disability is confidential and should not be shared without specific written release signed by the student. For clarification of confidentiality/privacy matters related to disabilities, please call the DRC or the University records compliance officer in the Vice President for Student Affairs Office.
- Accommodations include, but are not limited to, the
- enlarged or audio taped course materials, handouts, syllabi and exams
- sign language interpreters for a lecture
- student notetakers for a lecture
- extended time for tests
- relocation of a class to a more accessible site
- adaptive computer equipment for tests
- modified testing formats or alternative means of evaluation
- assistive listening devices in class
- readers or scribes
- lab assistants
Procedures for Resolving Accommodation Disputes
- Faculty, staff or students with questions, concerns or disagreements about the requested accommodation should be referred to a DRC staff member. It is anticipated that disagreements will be resolved as expeditiously as possible. The DRC staff member will evaluate the matter and make appropriate recommendations within three (3) working days of receiving the issue.
- If the accommodation is not accepted by the faculty or staff persons, the matter will be referred to the department chair or director.` The department chair or director will resolve the disagreement within five (5) working days or refer it to the Accommodations Review Board (ARB).
- During the time that the accommodation is under review, the accommodation recommended by the DRC will remain in effect.
- The ARB will review cases that are forwarded to them by department chairs, directors or the Director of the DRC. Findings and recommendations of the ARB will be forwarded to the appropriate Executive (Provost or Vice President) within five to ten (5-10) working days of receiving the case for review and implementation. The findings will also be forwarded at the same time to student and faculty or staff parties involved. Faculty and/or staff will be notified along with the findings of appeal procedures noted in number six (6) below.
With notice to immediate supervisor.
- The Executive will issue an implementation letter within ten (10) working days of receipt of the ARB recommendation, after considering the faculty/staff appeal, if any, as timely filed according to number six (6) below. The Executive has the authority to accept, reject, or modify the recommendations of the ARB.
- Administrative (faculty/staff) appeals of the ARB must be directed in writing and on the form provided to the Executive within five (5) working days of issuance of the ARB recommendation. As noted before, the directed accommodations (in this case of the ARB) must continue to be provided during any period of review.
- Students seeking further redress of the ARB recommendation and/or the Executive findings may direct their concerns to the Office of Equal Opportunity under the University regulations for complaints about discrimination due to disability. Formal complaints under PD95-02, "SJSU Discrimination Complaint Pry," must be filed within 180 days after the student knows or could be expected to have known that an action of discrimination has occurred
Accommodations Review Board
- Members of the Accommodations Review Board are appointed by the Provost. Members include one faculty member, one department chair and one dean (all nominated by the Academic Senate); one professional staff member from the DRC (nominated by the Vice President for Student Affairs), the Associate Vice President for Student Affairs, the University's ADA/504 Compliance Officer, and one staff member at large (nominated by the Vice President for Administration).
- The Chair of the Board will be appointed by the Provost from the faculty membership on the Board.
- A quorum will consist of four members, two of whom must be faculty, and one of whom must be a DRC staff member.
- The Board will hear cases forwarded by a department chair, department head or the Director of the DRC related to student access or accommodation issues. Reviews of faculty/staff employment accommodations are handled by the Accommodations Resource team (ART) in conjunction with the employee's supervisor and are not handled by this board.
- To avoid conflict of interest, Board members will not hear cases in which they have any direct involvement. In such cases, the Board will proceed without the member, providing that quorum can be reached. If quorum cannot be reached, a new member will be appointed temporarily by the Provost.
- Decisions will be reached by consensus.
- Training for the Board will be provided by the University's ADA Compliance Officer.
Note: This policy is restricted to academic & access accommodations. Questions and concerns related to student discipline/behavior, academic fairness, etc. should be referred to the respective offices of Judicial Affairs or Ombudsperson.

Formerly at Eisenhower Park, the farm moved to Merrick Avenue in 2012 to become more visible to the public.
The farm primarily serves as an educational resource, and is open to the public. The plants and vegetables are not for sale, and the farm is subsidized by Nassau County grants.
It includes a butterfly garden, planted literally in the shape of a butterfly. The garden features flowers that attract butterflies, and dozens can be seen hovering around the plants. Other areas contain the children's educational gardens, and at back, a community garden is sectioned off with plots where the community can grow and maintain whatever plants they want.
With all this and more, the end of summer beckons at your local park.

London UK based Entec was asked by show producers Magic Sound to supply lighting and all associated rigging equipment plus crew for a show at Hammersmith Apollo, London by Malaysian Chinese Mandarin pop superstar Fish Leong.
This was part of her 'Love Page' world tour and coincided with celebrations for the Chinese New Year. Leong, known as the 'Queen of Love Songs' is famous for her love themed ballads, many of which have become popular karaoke hits.
Lighting designer Mr Wu (also known as Bevan) sent a plot to Entec and flew in to London from Hong Kong on the Friday night for Sunday evening's gig, which was totally sold out and eagerly anticipated by the local Chinese community.
Entec's project manager Peter Schofield ensured that all Bevan's technical and creative requests were met. He worked with lighting technicians Tom Crosbie, Leo Tierney and Yuko Sano. They loaded in on the morning of the show and had the rig up, running and ready to be programmed by Bevan by midday.
There was a front and back truss and a 30 ft wide by 6 ft deep box truss in between over the stage, with two foot long extension bars extending from the upstage edge.
On the front were nine VARI*LITE 2000 Washes and eight 8-Lites, the latter pointed at the audience. Also rigged onto this were confetti cannons and confetti fans from Le Maitre, which blasted into the audience on cue.
Seven V*L 2000 Washes and 10 x V*L3000 Spots were rigged around the box truss, used to wash the stage and light the 9 piece band below, and also to rear light Leong. There were also 16 x ETC Source Four profiles to pick out individual band members and key light several different stage positions.
The 50ft span of back truss was made from heavy duty sections. On this were hung five V*L3000 moving lights plus 40 ft of starcloth and a large LED video wall from Picture Works.
Plenty of visual dynamics and 'architectural shaping' were added to the performance with the floor lighting package. This comprised six vertical 12 inch truss towers, three positioned each side flanking the video screen, each toned with two i-Pix Satellite LED 'bricks' and with a V*L 2000 wash on top.
The set was built from a large two level Steeldeck structure. It had a platform / walkway along the back and a set of stairs descending in the front centre, and also going down the back, where the quick change room was located. Each side of the stairs were three V*L 3000 Spots.
Two Pani follow spots and an Avolites Diamond 4 Elite console completed the lighting picture.
The rig offered plenty of diversity for beam work and all the coverage Bevan needed for the band and the star, and everyone was delighted with the results.
Show producer Tina Zang from Magic Sound, who first worked with Entec on a show last year, comments "Lighting is one of the most important elements of our show. The service from Entec is excellent – they respond quickly and efficiently to any queries in advance, and everything ran extremely smoothly on show day."
Audio equipment was supplied by Stage Audio Services from Birmingham and trucking by Stage Truck, and the rigging work on site delivered by PTG.
Date of issue : 14th March 2012.

The herpes simplex virus, also known as HSV, is an infection that causes herpes. Herpes can appear in various parts of the body, most commonly on the genitals or mouth. There are two types of the herpes simplex virus. HSV-1, also known as oral herpes, can cause cold sores and fever blisters around the mouth and on the face. HSV-2 is generally responsible for genital herpes outbreaks.
The herpes simplex virus is a contagious virus that can be passed from person to person through direct contact. Children will often contract HSV-1 from early contact with an infected adult. They then carry the virus with them for the rest of their life.
Infection with HSV-1 can happen from general interactions such as eating from the same utensils, sharing lip balm, or kissing. The virus spreads more quickly when an infected person is experiencing an outbreak. Additionally, it is possible to get genital herpes from HSV-1 if the individual has had cold sores and performed sexual activities during that time.
HSV-2 is contracted through forms of sexual contact with a person who has HSV-2. It is estimated that around 20 percent of sexually active adults within the United States have been infected with HSV-2, according to the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD). (AAD) While HSV-2 infections are spread by coming into contact with a herpes sore, the AAD reports that most people get HSV-1 from an infected person who is asymptomatic, or does not have sores.
Anyone can be infected with HSV, regardless of age. Your risk is determined almost entirely based on exposure to the infection.
In cases of sexually transmitted HSV, people are more at risk when they participate in risky sexual behavior without the use of protection, such as condoms. Other risk factors for HSV-2 include:
Having Multiple Sex Partners
Being Female
Having Another Sexually Transmitted Infection (Sti)
Having A Weakened Immune System
If a mother is having an outbreak of genital herpes at the time of childbirth, it can expose the baby to both types of HSV, and may put them at risk for serious complications.
It is important to understand that although someone may not have visible sores or symptoms, they may still be infected by the virus and may transmit the virus to others. Some of the symptoms associated with this virus include:
Additionally, you may experience many symptoms that are similar to the flu. These symptoms can include fever, swollen lymph nodes, headaches, tiredness, and lack of appetite. HSV can also spread to the eyes, causing a condition called herpes keratitis. This can cause symptoms such as eye pain, discharge, and a gritty feeling in the eye.
This type of virus is generally diagnosed with a physical exam. Your doctor may check your body for sores and ask you about some of your current symptoms. Your doctor may also request HSV testing, also known as a herpes culture, to confirm the diagnosis if you have sores on your genitals. During this test, your doctor will take a swab sample of fluid from the sore and then send it to a laboratory for testing.
Blood tests looking for antibodies to HSV-1 and HSV-2 may also be used to diagnose these infections. This is especially helpful when there are no sores present.
There is currently no cure for this virus. Treatment focuses on getting rid of sores and limiting outbreaks.
It is possible that your sores will disappear without treatment. However, your doctor may determine that you need one or more of the following medications:
These medications can help infected individuals reduce the risk of spreading the virus to other people. The medications also help to lower the intensity and frequency of outbreaks. These medications may come in oral (pill) form, or may be applied as a cream. For severe outbreaks, these medications may also be administered by injection.
People who become infected with HSV will have the virus for the rest of their lives. Even if it does not manifest symptoms, the virus will continue to live in an infected person's nerve cells. Some people may experience regular outbreaks. Others will only experience one outbreak after they have been infected, after which the virus may become dormant. Even if a virus is dormant, an outbreak can be triggered by certain stimuli, such as:
It is believed that the outbreaks may become less intense over time because the body starts creating antibodies. If a generally healthy individual has been infected with the virus, there are usually no complications.
Although there is no cure for herpes, you can take precautionary measures to avoid becoming infected, or to prevent spreading HSV to another person.
If you are experiencing an outbreak of HSV-1, try to avoid direct physical contact with other people. Do not share any items that can pass the virus around, such as cups, towels, silverware, clothing, makeup, or lip balm. Doctors also recommend that infected individuals should not participate in oral sex, kissing, or any other type of sexual activity, during an outbreak. Additionally, if your hands have come into contact with your sores, you should wash them thoroughly and apply medication with cotton swabs to reduce contact.
Individuals with HSV-2 should avoid any type of sexual activity with other people during an outbreak. If the individual is not experiencing symptoms but has previously been diagnosed with the virus, a condom should be used during intercourse. Although a condom may be used, it may still be possible to pass herpes to your partner from uncovered skin. Women who are pregnant and infected may have to take medicine to prevent the virus from infecting their unborn babies.

Bank of America's (BAC) brokerage and JPMorgan Chase's (JPM) asset-management division are among businesses ripe for divestiture if U.S. banks break up to improve stock prices, according to CLSA Ltd.'s Mike Mayo.
Citigroup's (C) Latin America unit is another example of operations that have "unrealized value," the analyst wrote in a note to clients today. Bank stock prices could double if risk and cost of capital at the firms were reduced, reversing past efforts to boost returns by taking on more risk, he said.
"The largest banks have underperformed not only on returns but also on efficiency, revenue, risk, transparency, reputation and stock price," Mayo wrote. "When we ask, a large majority of investors indicate that breakups — divestitures, downsizings and de-mergers — would be good for stock prices."
The goal should be "orderly" scaling back to achieve "safe banks" that have less leverage and lower risk, Mayo said. Zurich-based UBS AG's strategy of cutting costs by exiting most of its fixed-income business is a good example, he said.
Another approach would be de-mergers, Mayo wrote. After the introduction of the Glass-Steagall Act in 1933, which forced deposit-taking companies backed by government insurance to be separate from investment banks, price-to-book values surged, he said. The same thing could happen today, Mayo said, since many firms are trading below their book value. Book value represents the firm's theoretical liquidation price, which is calculated by subtracting liabilities from assets.
"Time seems to be running out for managements to show that the valuation discounts in their stocks are only short term," he said. "Investors are incentivized to act before the government, which can take action due to concerns that banks are too subsidized, too trouble prone, too big and too complex."
Jerry Dubrowski, a spokesman for Charlotte, North Carolina- based Bank of America, declined to comment on the note, as did Citigroup's Mark Costiglio and JPMorgan's Joseph Evangelisti.
Manuel Medina-Mora helps to oversee New York-based Citigroup's Latin America division, which includes trading, consumer banking and transaction services businesses. Net income from continuing operations increased 7 percent to $2.66 billion for the first nine months of 2012 from a year earlier, according to a financial supplement. The unit had average assets of $169 billion at the end of September, according to the supplement.
Mary Erdoes runs New York-based JPMorgan's asset-management unit, which oversaw about $1.4 trillion as of Sept. 30, according to a financial supplement. The division made a $1.22 billion profit for the first nine months of 2012, a 5.4 percent decline from the same period a year earlier.
Investment and brokerage services at Bank of America, which includes Merrill Lynch, generated $8.5 billion of noninterest income in the first nine months of 2012, a 6.9 percent drop from the same period in 2011, according to filings.
Bank of America Chief Executive Officer Brian T. Moynihan has overseen the sale of more than $60 billion in assets since he took over in 2010. He has called his company the "poster child" of a financial firm that's become smaller and less risky. The bank's total assets at the end of September were $2.17 trillion, 2.4 percent less than a year earlier.
Citigroup, the third-biggest U.S. bank, had total assets of $1.93 trillion at the end of September, about the same as a year earlier. Assets at the lender's "core" businesses increased 4 percent to $1.46 trillion.
The Citi Holdings division, which contains the firm's unwanted investments, reduced assets to $171 billion at Sept. 30, a 31 percent decline compared to a year earlier. The firm also agreed last year to sell its portion of the brokerage joint venture it has with Morgan Stanley to the New York-based investment bank.
Shares of Bank of America, Citigroup and Morgan Stanley are each trading at a fraction of their tangible book value, while JPMorgan and New York-based Goldman Sachs Group Inc. are trading above those values, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

Signal Jumper
One day my fellow electrician and I started a traffic signal project at a busy intersection. First, we had to take down the old signals, which were supported by wood poles and suspended over the roadway with ⅝-inch steel cables. We usually took the old signals down by attaching a pulley to the top of one pole, running a rope from the signal through this pulley and back down to the trailer hitch of our truck. One man cuts the steel cable while the other backs the truck up, slowly lowering the signals to the ground.
But on this day my partner came up with a new idea. "We can lower them without the truck," he said. "I'll just tie the rope around my waist and serve as the counterbalance. These signals aren't that heavy."
So with traffic stopped in all directions, I climbed the ladder, put the jaws of the bolt cutters around the cable, and asked for the third time, "Are you sure?" He swiftly replied, "Hurry up and cut the damn thing!"
As soon as I cut the cable, all hell broke loose. I dropped the cutters, grabbed the pole, and watched my buddy proceed to ski at a very high rate of speed across the intersection. As he sped to the edge of the road, he faced several obstacles, including a 3-foot-wide by 10-foot-deep ditch. With momentum on his side, he was able to leap over the obstacle in a single bound. He landed in a gravel parking lot, tucked and rolled, popped to his feet, and yelled, "I told you they weren't that heavy!" I was laughing so hard I was barely able to climb down the pole.

Apprentice Branding
A couple of years ago, an apprentice and I were upgrading a security system in an elementary school. It was the dead of winter, and we were both happy to be working inside. I was installing devices in another part of the school when my apprentice showed up with a bright red mark on his forehead. When I asked him what had happened, he said he was working above a drop ceiling in an awkward position and was having trouble pulling in some new wiring. Because both of his hands were wrapped around the cable, he decided to use his head as an additional leverage point for the pull. Unfortunately, the pipe he placed his head against was for hot water heat. I was surprised he didn't fall off the ladder and hurt himself even worse after receiving the scalding imprint. I don't work with him that much anymore, but when we do get together this story almost always comes up.

NEWARK — Breaking the mold is part of the Bay Area's DNA, and that tradition will be furthered later this summer with California's first festival dedicated to halal food.
The Halal Food Festival is scheduled for Saturday, Aug. 17, in the NewPark Mall main parking lot, between Sears and Macy's.
Halal food includes meat that is blessed and prepared in a way considered pure and lawful for Muslims to consume, said Wasi Imam, one of the festival's organizers.
"It's going to be a great, big cultural event — something that has not happened before in Newark or the Bay Area," said Imam, whose accounting business is across the street from the festival's location. "People from all faiths are invited."
The festival's choice of dishes will be diverse, and organizers are reaching out to various types of local restaurants, asking them to serve their favorite dishes but with halal meat, Imam said.
"The only difference between the festival's food and restaurants' food is the type of meat available," he said.
The festival will offer live cooking demonstrations and will feature vendor booths with clothes and artwork, as well as rides for kids such as merry-go-rounds.
What may sound like a small niche event will be anything but, as more than 700 people already have sent an RSVP on the event's Facebook page.
"It will be the first festival of its kind in California," said Moina Shaiq, of Fremont, who is member of the Alameda County Human Relations Commission. "It will give Muslims some exposure in the community and it's a chance for people from different faiths to get to know one another."
Shaiq added: "That always brings better understanding, people knowing each other."
If all goes well, the festival organizers see the Halal Food Festival becoming an annual affair.
"We want this to be a joyous occasion," Imam said.

Supervisors discuss Marcellus drilling concerns
The Fox Township Supervisors discussed Marcellus gas drilling in the township during their recent meeting and according to supervisor Mike Keller, the township is in the preliminary stages of working on a zoning ordinance to help place restrictions on future drilling in the township. Responding to a question from an area resident regarding the number of Marcellus wells in the Boone Mountain area, Supervisor Randy Gradizzi stated that he believed there are about 27 more wells scheduled to be drilled in that area. Keller added that the drilling is not going to go away."I met with the secretary of DCNR and asked him why there are so many out there and it appears that many of these are old permits and that's why they're so close together," Keller said. "The new permits are much further apart, so we're just in a bad spot right now."Residents also expressed concerns about the type of materials from the drilling sites that are being sent to the township's landfill. Gradizzi explained that some of the material from drilling sites is solidified and then buried in the landfill during a controlled process. "How safe it is, I don't know. It's all new," Gradizzi said. "It's new to all of us. Some sites get permitted to actually bury the stuff right on the [drilling] site. They'll line a frac pond and they try to spin as much water out of it as they can. Then that [water] goes to a treatment facility and the remaining stuff goes into a lined pond. Then when they're all done they cover it over with plastic and then bury it." Keller discussed some of the precautions in place at the landfill to limit the amount of radiation allowed in material at the site. He noted that the landfill has a number of detectors installed that are set off by levels only slightly higher than background radiation. For more on this story, see the Dec. 4th edition of The Daily Press.

You need flour, salt, and baking soda together in medium bowl; whisk it andset aside (printable recipe is at the bottom of this post). Whisk 1 1/2 sticks melted butter and sugars in medium large bowl until combined. Add egg, egg yolk, and vanilla and mix well-- which is why the wet ingredients look an ugly brown...that's from the vanilla!
Using rubber spatula, fold dry ingredients into egg mixture until just combined; do not over mix. Fold in the chips, then... make sure you have a 9x13 baking pan prepared with a foil "sling" and then prepare with non-stick spray. Trust me, a sling makes removing the bar cookies a snap!
DEMY Digital Recipe Reader! The beauty of this technical gadget is that it's a part of Key Ingredient-- which is where Donna and I store all of our recipe cards. If any of you have wondered how I have a printable recipe card at the bottom of each post, well the secret's out now! I have over 400 recipes. I no longer need to print the recipes. No more bulk binders with protective covers on printed recipes. I just plugged in my new DEMY and it synced all the recipes-- plus Donna's recipe card-- into my DEMY. I created my own catergories (see above photo).
COOKIE VERDICT: Buttery, chewy, chocolatey-- my boys will eat most of these. I ate one piece, and will stay away from the rest. I'm not as tall and thin as they are!

NCAA passes revolutionary recruiting rules
So the NCAA has passed a bunch of new recruiting bylaws including one that does this:
So starting with the class of 2014, college coaches can call, text and communicate privately by any methods available without restrictions. No more one-call-per-week. No more dead periods. No more ban on text messaging.
Still on the table and awaiting a decision is this potential new rule:
If 13-2 passes in April, prospects in their junior years can expect up to six visits per institution at home and school from coaches during the contact period, just as seniors experience.
This will only make recruiting even more insane and more competitive, because in addition to all of this you can have coaches that are not full-time staff members make calls for you too, and there are no longer limitations on the number of coaches that can be on the road recruiting.
Essentially, recruiting has been deregulated. So...as a school with a large budget, do you think this good for Michigan? Or will the "we play nice in the Big Ten" culture hurt us? We already know the SEC will go nuts with these rules...

Is a modern day Emmett Till necessary to upend America's state of denial about gun violence?
For those who go looking, there are detailed verbal accounts of the carnage that happened behind the walls of Sandy Hook Elementary School. Of the gore created by Adam Lanza's weapons.
Most of us don't want to know what his Bushmaster's bullets did to the bodies of those children and teachers. It's troubling enough to know that it happened; we don't want the visuals. I certainly don't want to describe them here.
