Here's an odd endorsement of US Internet infrastructure: American Web-hosting services are good enough and cheap enough that even the Taliban prefers them.

It's a tough decision as to whether to take their sites down. Are we, as proponents of freedom of speech going to end up as hypocrites if we do? Conversely, what about not providing help to terrorists? With its lack of borders, the internet makes a mess of that whole discussion.
It's telling that a group declaring the US as the great satan, etc. is not 'pure' enough about its hatred to host its websites exclusively with like-minded people. I guess if we can stand buying their opium, they can stomach getting a great deal on hosting.
What? Did you take opium before you posted that stupid comment?
I'm still chuckling about "talipally@aol" XD

"It's a tough decision as to whether to take their sites down. Are we, as proponents of freedom of speech going to end up as hypocrites if we do? Conversely, what about not providing help to terrorists? With its lack of borders, the internet makes a mess of that whole discussion."
The Constitution guarantees the rights of U.S. CITIZENS, not those barbarians. Screw their ISP service! Or at least bump them up to mandatory premium, dedicated server, and every other bell-and whistle accounts.
"In other words, if American officials are happy about playing host to Taliban sites, they have ample reason not to be too loud about it."
Too late. Now that this is known, our chance at a potential intelligence windfall has just been lost. The problem is the officials probably did know what was going on, but someone out there blew the whistle and as a result our potential cover.
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
It says this is restricted to citizens where?
[quote]"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
[quote]The People refered to there are those that are bound by the constitution. Namely citizens, or inhabitants of the United States. If a group of people are not within the US or subject to its laws, I fail to see why they should be granted its protections as described by the constitution.
"One such Taliban propaganda site billed itself as the official voice of the "Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan," and regularly provided enthusiastic (if highly dubious) reports of successful attacks on coalition troops in the region. It was pulled offline last week after conservative blog The Jawa Report urged readers to complain to companies "unknowingly and unwittingly giving the Taliban some of the necessary tools they need to prolong the war.""
Idiots. For all we know The Planet was working with the CIA feeding them information and some dumb ass, self-righteous prig blows the whole operation. I mean, come on, seriously, does he think he's more clever than the CIA and they don't already know about it? For all of his crowing about national security he's probably harmed it more than any propaganda website could have. Stupid.
Non-citizens are not people? The framers of the Constitution went to great lengths to distinguish people under the law when they wanted to; "excluding Indians not taxed," and the infamous three-fifths compromise, for example. And the whole revolutionary/republican enterprise had been, at least in rhetoric, founded on the idea of universal, "inalienable" human rights. Of course they intended free speech to apply to everyone.
This is not to say that the government should do nothing if the Taliban or Al Qaeda is using American resources to plot terrorist attacks. They can and do take action if they find out that US Citizens are actively plotting, too. I just don't like the idea that citizenship is this magic human-rights card. Yes, citizenship entitles you to a lot, as it should; protection by the State Department against other governments, for instance, at least in theory. But it isn't a requirement for your basic rights.
Perhaps because "we hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal"? That's the Declaration of Independence, not US law, but I bring it up to make the point that a lot of the great things about the US came about because the founders had more idealistic goals than just protecting themselves.
Why should we sell hosting services to people who are so opposed to us? Because that's how good we are, basically. (And having our enemies communications passing through our own jurisdiction is a nice side benefit, too. )
Anyway, pulling it back on topic a little. I do hate that they went public about this, pretty much guaranteeing that we wouldn't be able to use this against them. Although I don't know how much American Press they actually read.
I do hope that some of their potential followers do catch wind of this and realize that they aren't really fighting the great holy war they say they are. And in reality they are just using it to disguise their own will.
Your above average 'teacher' knows not to trust anything electronic.
Electronics are for the students.
Yahiya Ayyash, "the Engineer" had his cell phone turned into a bomb in 1996.
Dzokhar Dudayev (President of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria) was killed via laser-guided missiles when he was using a satellite phone in 1996. The NSA is said to have helped.
The idea that *any* leadership material would touch anything trackable is strange.
Unless its to get some quality PR about drones over Pakistan.
The idea that they look to spread a " "Click for Change" message in blog and video form is a known.
Its also good for the US DoD budgets to have a 'body count" or "web site count" to show a rapid expansion of radical ideals.
Another good part is the DoD can see how its South African designed mine-resistant and ambush- protected vehicles are doing.
The American constitution explicitly refers to citizens in certain places, so you can't play the game of saying that everywhere it uses a more generic term it only applies to citizens. It's like playing semantic games to say that only state militia members should be able to own firearms.
I sense a failure to understand the language.
Hint: The people.
Hint 2: Look up "definite article".
If you're going to be pedantic, then you should also note that "the people" is only attached to the right of assembly and of petitioning the government. The former only applies (or at least, only applied at the time) to people physically present within the government's jurisdiction, and the latter to people with some stake in the government. The same cannot be said for freedom of speech or of the press.
Anyway, as with most of the Bill of Rights, the First Amendment's primary purpose is to *restrict the government's intrusion* into our rights, which were held to be already there. It's ridiculous to think that the intention was that Congress can restrict the freedom of speech for foreign nationals but not citizens. Again, preventing conspiracy or terrorist activity is another matter, though not always with a fine line between them.
Yeah, that. The Bill of Rights does not grant these rights, it merely acknowledges them.
To the extent that the Constitution represents a social contract between the government and the governed, yes, "the people" applies to the citizenry. But the principles of unalienable rights and equality of all men that underpin that great contract get in the way if you try to claim that the government isn't obligated to respect the unalienable rights of others merely because they aren't citizens. It's not Animal Farm, where some animals are more equal than others.
The minute you go down that road, your own rights aren't unalienable anymore, they come from a moldy piece of paper that can be modified or replaced at any time.

I see a lot of argument here about whether non-citizens have free speech rights, but no case law. Volokh says it better than I can here. Most relevant is Bridges v. Wixon; the government can't punish non-citizens for speech that would be protected if said by a citizen.
How is it a tough decision to take down a site of some group whos very aim is the destruction and removal of the very freedoms we enjoy which provide that freedom of speech?
Freedom of speech is not freedom to harm by speech. Its not a tough decision at all. Although there have been cases where the freedoms we enjoy are extended to cover specific cases for non citizens, it is not a blanket coverage that automatically applies to all people of the world all the time for everything and theres nothing in the constitution that says it is either. Its intended to protect and promote freedom not destroy it, and although it may not specifically be restricted to citizens of the U.S. alone its clear that the principal idea is the intent to protect and promote freedom and those that embrace it not protect those who would destroy it. There may be ways of reading the constitution which depend on the readers point of view, but no matter how you read it there is nothing in the constitution that says hateful, inciteful, destructive, or inherently harmful speech is guranteed protection by a blanket of "freedom of speech". One could say that it covers all forms of speech, and it does to some extent, but applying that same freedom of speech right to the very people whos aim is to destroy that freedom of speech (along with the other rights we enjoy) is asking a bit much of something that was intended to promote freedom rather then protect those who would seek to destroy it. Theres nothing in the constitution that provides the protection of freedom of speech to those who would destroy that very freedom by violence, bloodshed, intolerance, and enslavement, no matter how they say it or what media they use to say it.
Its not a though decision at all.
Well, there's the 'would it be hypocracy' question raised above, for one. You don't seem to think so, and appear to believe that it's 'obvious' that it's not.
That leads us directly to the more central problem: who gets to decide which speech and which groups are 'okay' and which ones aim at 'the destruction and removal of the very freedoms we enjoy...'? If you let the government do this, then you open the door to the selection of enemies of the current administration being labeled enemies of 'america' and you get all sorts of fun problems.
Or, in your world, those problems aren't tough, I guess?
No, I don't think it 'hypocracy' to deny an enemy access to voice their views, expecially one who has said, and stated, they will kill us, enslave us, and wipe everyone from the earth who does not belive as they do. So where is their tolerance to provide us freedom to live? If this is not an enemy then please, tell us, what is your definition of an enemy?
Who gets to decide? Are you serious? We aren't deciding anything, they (terrorists) made the decision, they are the ones that decided they were opposed to the very freedoms we enjoy, they decided, they already made the decision. What do you mean by "if you let the government do this" , no one is letting the government do anything, its what we expect our government to do, provide protections to us and one way they do that is by denying an enemy access. The government didn't, and has not, opened any door...the terrorists did, they opened the door and stepped thru it proclaiming their hatred. People forget, its not just the U.S, its anyone who does not believe as they do. So, no, its not a tough decision in any sane persons world.
Do you really see this as this simple?
Your definition of freedom of speech is narrower than mine -- that is, you would restrict certain speech that I, and some but not all others here, would allow. Therefore, according to my view, you don't fully support freedom of speech.
Therefore you do not fully support our freedoms.
Therefore you hate freedom.
Therefore your speech is not deserving of protection.
Now obviously I don't believe this, and I'm not equating your opinions with those of Al Qaeda. But when you start restricting free speech based on the opinion expressed, there has to be somebody to make this judgment. We should always err on the side of allowing questionable speech for exactly this reason.
Conspiracy to commit a crime, of course, has not been held to be constitutionally protected, and can legally be stopped. But barring very strong evidence that this is what is happening, prior restraint is almost never allowed. Needless to say, *listening* to potentially dangerous speech, wherever it is happening, so that we can be ready if it does turn into something else is always a good idea.
Citizenship or physical presence within the United States has almost nothing to do with it.
How can I tell the difference, in a general way, between people who simply spew vile speech and those who are 'enemies'? The KKK, for example has official positions that I find pretty hateful. Should all of their websites be taken down immediately? I'm sure we can find a dozen or more people who think the KKK counts as an enemy of the US.
On the other side, what about the ACLU? I'm equally sure I can find a dozen or more people who think they're enemies of the US. Should we take their websites down?
It's really easy to hold your position when you're the guy deciding who gets to be counted as an enemy. But watch out if your standards get adopted and someone decides that you are the enemy.
If you think that taking a public, news website is our government 'protecting' us, you've got strange views about what counts as a serious threat to our country. Similarly, if you think that removing the obvious websites of 'the enemy' somehow reduces the magnitude of the threat they represent then you are somewhere between naive and delusional.
But what do I know, I'm often told that I over-complicate things.
As far as I can tell from the article, the government didn't shut down the website. No government involvement, no First Ammendment violation. Otherwise, you'd be arguing that people shouldn't be allowed to voice their displeasure with other peoples' stances. And wouldn't that be supressing their speech?
"How can I tell the difference, in a general way, between people who simply spew vile speech and those who are 'enemies'? "
What? You don't have any common sense?
"If you think that taking a public, news website is our government 'protecting' us, you've got strange views about what counts as a serious threat to our country. Similarly, if you think that removing the obvious websites of 'the enemy' somehow reduces the magnitude of the threat they represent then you are somewhere between naive and delusional."
No, I don't think its protecting us to take down the sites, and besides there hasn't been any government action to remove them yet has there? Simply taking down the sites doesn't protect us (and I never said that simply taking down the sites was complete protection), but the act of denying an enemy access in any manner does contribute to protection. Taking the websites down doesn't reduce the magnitude of the threat, I never said that (there is something ironic though in how you said what you said - your saying there is a certain magnitude of threat yet express confusion in knowing the difference.). Yes, I would, if it were up to me, deny them an outlet to voice their speech of hatred no matter how refined it is or how disguised. But its not up to me, but if it were would I be denying them freedom of speech or freedom of hatred? I can't answer that, and don't propose to be able to, yet neither can you, but at least I can regognize the reality of the situation. As much as people want to read into it, the constitution or bill of rights does not, and never has, included freedom of speech as freedom to harm, incite, hurt, destroy, by violence, opression, or acts of war. Now, I know you think i'm either niave or delusional, but I suggest to you that maybe you should actually read the constitution and the bill of rights and show us all where it includes freedom to harm, incite, destroy, opress, and do violence or commit acts of war, as being included under freedom of speech, please, show us where it says that.
You seem to be able to have all the answers, so let me ask you a few questions. Just how many of the beheaded were aforded their opportunity to exercise their rights to live unharmed, maybe you know? How many in the World Trade Center were aforded their opportunity and right to live unharmed on that horrible day, do you know that also? How many of the other victims of the bombs planted in the name of Allah (by some perverted belief of a peaceful religion) were aforded their rights to live unharmed, do you know the answer to that one also? Just how many of these victims were given their rights to freedom of speech, can you answer that one? Wait a second...why... i'm not so naive or delusional after all, I see the reality that these terrorist gave up their rights to freedom of speech, their rights to anything, when they decided that anyone else who did not believe as them had any rights either and they set out to destroy, main, cripple, behead, wage war, and do violence and enslave. Where in the constitution or bill of rights does it say that their rights are protected if they do these things? Guess what, it doesn't, and the reality of the situation is that in order to have these rights and freedoms there is a certain amount of responsibility imposed to live within those rights (the framework of those rights) and not outside them and seek to destroy them like these fools do. They are not automatically given to all...just what about the part that says "in order to form a more perfect union" is confusing or ignored by you? Rights are earned by living within the boundary of those rights, and protecting them, and not outside them. We in the U.S. happen to be born with them available to us, but even then when we live outside those and cause harm to others, in context with, and proportionate to, that harm certain rights are removed from us. Why should we give the same rights to those who's aim is to clearly destroy and remove those rights? I tend to think it is you who are delusional and naive to ignore the reality of the situation and have chosen instead to nit-pick every little word so that it fits into your own viewpoint.
The world has witnessed the the terrorists own words and deeds, yet you want to argue that their speech is protected, that they are entitled to these rights, that they can seek protection under these rights, when they have done nothing to earn them or have them or live within them and have sought to destroy them? Get a grip will ya.
Pardon me. I thought we were talking about speech, rather than destruction, violence, and acts of war. That's why I even asked the question about how you'd determine whether the speech you wished to quash came from an 'enemy' or not, based only on the content of the speech.
There's plenty of folks who would call the KKK a terrorist group. Plenty of folks call PETA and Greenpeace terrorist groups...and there's plenty of folks who disagree about each group. That large numbers of people can disagree whether the speech of a group makes them an enemy of the country indicates that we should either err on the side of greater freedom (that is, allow them their speech), or find some other means of determining whether or not a group represents a real threat.
My only point was that you appear willing to leave the determination of 'enemy' status completely up to common sense (an unreliable tool, at best). That's fine in cases where a group has already taken actions that clearly indicate such status. It doesn't work so well in cases that are less clear (see examples above). And when the stakes are so high (removal of all rights and protections of the constitution, for a start, and likely an attempt to exterminate the group via deadly force as a finish) it seems worth attempting to find a more reliable tool for deciding these things than 'common sense'.

I'm the branch manager of the Pontiac Branch of the Allen County Public Library in Fort Wayne, IN. Our branch serves an inner-city demographic comprised mostly of African American and Hispanic patrons, and I love feeling that we make a genuine difference in our patrons' lives. I've been in my current position since November 2007, and prior to that I was the assistant manager and YA librarian at another branch in our system since December 2003. I earned my MLS in May 2004 from Indiana University at Indianapolis and my BA in Spanish in 2000. One of my biggest passions is travel, and in addition to studying in Spain in undergrad, I was lucky enough to participate in Rotary International's GSE program in Brazil for over 4 weeks in 2006. (If you're interested, I HIGHLY recommend checking out this program. It was ALL EXPENSES PAID, and I got to shadow librarians in 4 different cities. It was fabulous! http://www.rotary.org/en/serviceandfellowship/fellowship/GroupStudyExchange/Pages/ridefault.aspx) I'm looking forward to working with my fellow Emerging Leaders!

Travel, people and other cultures are significant sources of inspiration. Classic jewelry design as well as current fashion trends also have a strong impact on the creative process.The personal expression is very prominent, giving a strong and characteristic signature. The success of by me lies in the ability to create collections with a strong personal expression that appeals to people of all ages. Collections can be combined in countless ways and each person can create a distinctive image to highlight their own personal style. Use of classic materials combined with unique design gives by me jewelry an aesthetic beauty that can be enjoyed for years. Emphasizing the wearability of the designs, Marianne has created a look that is suitable for any occasion, opting for subtlety over showiness. Her typical clients are not slaves to fashion, but rather tend to be more concerned about personality, quality and individual style.

About the Activity:
Conducted throughout the week, the Ebbanad trek is indeed one of the best hiking experience in or around Ooty! Taking you to the scenic locales of Ebbanad, which is located around 18km from Ooty, this 6-7 hours trek will take you through several quaint settlements, scenic patches of forests and other natural marvels.
The walk usually begins from the tribal village of Bikkapathymund that sits atop a mountain ridge; the way to this hamlet is in itself a blissful experience!

Money for ranchers, farmers available
About $5.2 million in grants will begin to flow to ranchers and farmers in the Sierra after the Sierra Nevada Conservancy (SNC) Governing Board recently approved $5.2 million in Proposition 84 grant awards.
The grants aim to assist Sierra ranchers and farmers in 18 counties with conservation measures designed to protect California's most important watersheds.
With the completion of this grant round, the SNC has awarded $52 million to nearly 300 projects in the Sierra in the past five years.
A wide variety of projects have been funded, including those to reduce the risk of catastrophic fire, protect important landscapes and improve watershed health.
Projects will result in reduced erosion, meadow and stream restoration, conservation easements, ranch infrastructure development, invasive species removal and pre-project environmental work.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) EJ Manuel tossed two touchdown passes and Devonta Freeman ran for two more scores to lead No. 11 Florida State to a 48-7 victory over Duke on Saturday.
Florida State's win coupled with North Carolina State's loss to North Carolina puts the Seminoles (8-1, 5-1) back in control of the Atlantic Coast Conference's Atlantic Division while Duke (6-3, 3-2) dropped out of the undisputed lead in the league's muddled Coastal Division.
Tyler Hunter returned a punt 75 yards for a score and Dustin Hopkins kicked a career-best 56-yard field goal to help the Seminoles offset losing four fumbles.
Duke quarterback Sean Renfree was knocked out of the game in the second quarter with an unspecified head injury.

This Ghost Is a Machine
Daniel Paisner will publish his 54th book early next year, the latest achievement in a quarter-century career marked by more best sellers than all but the very biggest names in publishing. Yet almost no one has heard of him, including most of his readers.
The largest print on the majority of Mr. Paisner's book covers go to celebrity names such as Denzel Washington, Serena Williams, Ed Koch, Anthony Quinn, George Pataki and Whoopi Goldberg. As a professional ghostwriter for autobiographies, Mr. Paisner must lay low and channel the voices of his famous partners.
"I happily introduce myself to people as a hack," said the 52-year-old author from Port Washington, N.Y. "I don't think that's a bad thing. It's what you bring to these hack assignments that stamps your game."
Mr. Paisner's next book, "Chasing Perfect," is the story of Bob Hurley, the St. Anthony's High School basketball coach from Jersey City who earned a berth in the sport's Hall of Fame two years ago. It will come out in March.
Even as publishing houses face increasing financial woes, there remains strong demand for seasoned ghostwriters like Mr. Paisner. The famous people most likely to drive memoir sales typically lack the literary chops to pen their own tell-alls.
"A good collaborator will push the celebrity further" than they would go on their own, said Robert Levine, a literary agent and attorney at Levine, Plotkin and Menin LLP. "The collaborator will ask for the details and force them to think deeply about their experience."
"It's a bit like having a psychoanalyst," he added.
Although Mr. Paisner conducts interviews with his subjects in a journalistic manner, he doesn't consider himself part of that profession. Where a reporter must typically strive for balance, the ghostwriter airs only the information his subject wishes to share with the public.
"I capture their personality on the page and put their voice out to the world in a way they are happy with," Mr. Paisner said.
If he feels a sensitive subject is meaningful to the story's arc, he will steer the conversation to the most interesting place. When working with Anthony Quinn, for instance, Mr. Paisner waited a year before bringing up the actor's son, who drowned at a young age—a topic Mr. Quinn refused to talk about it in interviews. By that point, Mr. Paisner recalled, a mutual trust made it possible to explore that painful part of Quinn's life.
Quincy Troupe, the poet and ghostwriter behind the forthcoming life story of basketball legend Earl Monroe, can relate to the delicacy required on the job. "You want to ask the kinds of questions to get them to say what you want to say, but you can't say it," he said. "Earl might not say it like how you want to say it, but he will say it in his own way, which is OK, too."
Another key to making it as a ghostwriter—and 11 of Mr. Paisner's books have made it onto best-seller lists—is the ability to be a literary chameleon. The spectrum of personalities he's embodied runs from the hang-10 persona of surfing icon Izzy Paskowitz in a feel-good beach read, "Scratching the Horizon," to the conservative passion of politician Christine O'Donnell in her memoir, "Troublemaker."
Mel Berger, the agent at William Morris who represents Mr. Paisner, helps recruit subjects with life stories that would make good autobiographies. After Mr. Berger saw a "60 Minutes" episode on Mr. Hurley, he got the basketball coach on board for a book before suggesting Mr. Paisner as the scribe.
"What helps me get one gig after another is my ability to connect with people," Mr. Paisner said. "When I audition for a job, I tell these folks they can find a dozen writers who do what I do, so they should be looking for someone they trust."
Mark Weinstein, the executive editor at Rodale Books, has purchased one of Mr. Paisner's coming projects, currently titled "Qaddafi's Point Guard." The contracts of collaborators like Mr. Paisner typically depend on the size of the deal and fame of the celebrity, he said.
"Some ghostwriters can and do earn six-figure fees, but the vast majority don't earn anything approaching that number," Mr. Weinstein said. The arrangement can involve a flat fee, a cut of the advance or a percentage of the royalties, but the copyright almost always remains with the subject. Once a ghostwriter sends in a final draft, the working relationship is over. Mr. Paisner has never toured to promote his co-written books.
The prolific ghostwriter has also published two novels under his own name. In fact, he said, collaborating with celebrities started as his version of waiting tables—something he could do to support his creative ambitions. But he learned the money was better and more reliable than what most novelists see.
And there's one key advantage to the life of a literary ghost: "The only difference between writing a book of your own and someone else is writer's block," he said. "When I'm writing someone else's story, there is no such thing as writer's block."

Unseen University
's organic/inorganic/magical super-computer, located in the
High Energy Magic Building
, whose initial components were a mouse-wheel and an ant-colony (the sum in this case is
far greater than the parts
) tended by
Ponder Stibbons
and a group of like-minded, spotty, if-only-we-had-anoraks undergraduates. As Stibbons states it, operating Hex is largely intuitive, although you have to spend a lot of time learning it first. Hex can be cranky, recalcitrant, demand more cheese, occasionally be of use, and exhibit disturbing signs of sentience. Apart from the odd banana, not too much difference from here. Hex makes a major appearance in
nike runners australia cheap tickets
, nike free run 2 35y7y girls running shoe
and The Science of Discworld , where it helped facilitate the Roundworld project, and has also been used at other times to do complicated calculations for how exactly a spell is to be performed, or to control the operations of complicated magical instruments.
Hex is started by initialising the GBL (pulling the Great Big Lever), and is basically a thinking-engine. Some people may think that Hex is alive, but Ponder Stibbons soothes his mind on that subject, telling himself that Hex "only thinks that he is alive". Hex started its existence as a very large calculator, using different movements of ants to solve simple math equations, but Hex eventually changed to something much more. Hex now seems to have a life of its own, changing, removing and even adding new parts to itself all the time. It now has an Anthill Inside sticker, a beehive in the next room (for memory storage), a screensaver (an aquarium on a spring), a beach-ball-like thing that goes "parp" every fourteen minutes. Hex has a large number of logic states, in addition to and , or , and their combinations and variants, Hex can use maybe , perhaps , suppose , and why , allowing it to think the unthinkable quite easily, such as expanding its capacity to understand the creation of Roundworld on the basis that one day it would be able to. Hex is even beginning to ask about electricity.
School counselors help students thrive in their current education and future careers. They love to connect with students and make an impact on their lives. Over the years, the demand for school counselors has not only increased, but the demand for additional support has as well. School counselor requirements include having a bevy of resources to help students figure out their career path. One of the resources counselors use to determine possible career paths is career aptitude testing.
Most commonly taken in high school, career aptitude tests help assess a student's strengths and skills that will translate into their ideal career path. School counselors use this in their career as a foundation to work with students. By using a career aptitude test, school counselors can help determine the right extracurricular activities and curriculum that is perfectly tailored for their students.
There are multiple career aptitude tests that school counselors can use to their benefit. There are skills career tests that evaluate a student's readily available skills, and there are pymetric tests that use a series of simple (yet surprisingly challenging) mind games to measure different cognitive and social traits. Furthermore, there are personality tests to help determine what industries and roles you will find the most fulfilling. For school counselors, it is important to use more than one test to achieve a holistic perspective of a student's career path.
Some common career aptitude tests include:
Career aptitude tests measure one's reaction to situations and accomplished tasks in his or her daily life. A career assessment quiz includes questions about the individual's hobbies, talents, interests and overall personality. Most importantly, they also help highlight someone's strengths and weaknesses. After taking a career assessment quiz, the student should come away learning more about themselves, and the school counselor should ultimately be able to connect the dots and help design a post-high school roadmap.
Aptitude assessments provide school counselors with the information needed to help students make future educational and career path decisions. It presents an opportunity to help students think about options that were not previously considered and gives them a true sense of what they are currently capable of doing. For school counselors, this is another resource or tool that they can use to build customized plans for students. Using these assessments, in addition to examining grade point averages, standardized test scores, and extracurricular activities, can help identify a student's true potential.
A standard Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) will provide businesses with the capability of understanding their internal business procedures in a graphical notation and will give organizations the ability to communicate these procedures in a standard manner. Furthermore, the graphical notation will facilitate the understanding of the performance collaborations and business transactions between the organizations. This will ensure that businesses will understand themselves and participants in their business and will enable organizations to adjust to new internal and B2B business circumstances quickly.
The OCEB 2 program consists of five examinations, granting five Certifications. Above the single Fundamental level, the program splits into two tracks - one Business-oriented , the other Technically oriented. Credentials are important in the BPM world, where practitioners may work on many projects for different clients or employers over time. The twenty-five experts from top BPM companies and well-known independent consultants who designed the OCEB 2 topical coverage and wrote the exam questions want peers and prospective employers to feel confident about a certified candidate's ability to participate in or lead real-world initiatives in enterprise BPM. Your status as an OCEB 2 Certified Professional shows current and future employers or clients that you have the required knowledge and skills, making you a more attractive candidate for hiring and promotion.
Wikipedia Entry
What is BPMN?
The Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN) is a graphical notation that depicts the steps in a business process. BPMN depicts the end to end flow of a business process. The notation has been specifically designed to coordinate the sequence of processes and the messages that flow between different process participants in a related set of activities.
Why is BPMN important?
The world of business processes has changed dramatically over the past few years. Processes can be coordinated from behind, within and over organizations natural boundaries. A business process now spans multiple participants and coordination can be complex. Until BPMN, there has not been a standard modelling technique developed that addresses these issues. BPMN has been developed to provide users with a royalty free notation. This will benefit users in a similar manner in which UML standardised the world of software engineering. There will be training courses, books and a body of knowledge that users can access in order to better implement a business process.

Games where where a civilization or community is built and needs to be maintained are pretty popular. World at Arms takes a different approach to this. The goal of World at Arms is to create a powerful army able to withstand attacks from foreign countries. Ok, the idea isn't all that new, but there are not a lot of games of this style using the American army like this.
World at Arms shows a lot of similarities to other games in the way that the buildings need to be built and troops need to be trained in order to protect the base. Even with outside forces continually try to attack and weaken the forces of the base.
There are numerous quests to go on. Some of these quests are preemptive strikes. Essentially, troops are sent to thwart potential attacks, not actual attacks. Going on these quests will go usually results in acquiring loot. Keep in mind however, going on these quests requires manpower and resources like oil. Erecting buildings also requires the use of resources. It's a good idea to build a mess halls and oil fields as soon as possible. These are both essential to the expansion of the base. Also, the mess hall and the bar will bring in a decent amount of income. As everyone knows, without income, things can expand.
Controlling the troops while in battle is pretty straightforward. The selection is done either manually by choosing which forces should be involved in the attack. The other option is to have the troops auto deployed. The auto deployment simply picks out a mixture of troops, mechanical weapons and airstrike capabilities to try and overpower the opposing forces. On quests while the battle is going on, different obstacles could be in the way as well as the threat of incoming artillery. If something like this pops up on the screen, a simple tap on the object will destroy the opposing object.
Parts of the game require metals to be used to purchase items. These metals can also be used to speed up the building of buildings retraining of troops. While these are little harder to come by, they can be purchased through the in game purchasing system using real-world money.

A New Kind of Graph: The Ferris Wheel Ride
Lesson 1 of 6
Objective: SWBAT work through a thought experiment about a Ferris Wheel that leads to an initial understanding of the graph of a periodic function.
Big Idea: This lesson situates a periodic function in the lineage of different functions, and it makes periodic functions a very natural idea.
To open this class, I want to get students thinking about the functions they already know, so I post these four questions on the board:
- What does a linear function look like?
- What does a quadratic function look like?
- What does the equation of a circle look like?
- Are there other kinds of functions?
I prompt students to discuss each of these questions at their tables (see slide #2 in ferris wheel ride).
I have purposefully left the first two questions open-ended enough that there's no presciption as to whether they should be answered with an equation or graphical representation. As a I circulate through the room, I listen to the conversations of my students.
- Are they talking about the graphs of these functions?
- Are they talking about the equations?
- Are they sketching anything on their papers?
How my students approach the word function will influence some of the moves I make in class today. Also along these lines, I am asking myself:
How many of my students notice that the third question refers to the "equation of a circle," but doesn't call it a function?
Concluding this segment of the lesson with a brief whole-class discussion, I ask students to tell me what they know about each of these questions. As we talk, I write the general forms of each type of equation, and the most basic sketches of each in the upper left-hand corner of my chalk board (see some functions). As we move on to discussing some of the parameters of a trigonometric function, we'll be able to refer back to these sketches as we try to make use of the structures that different functions share (MP7).
Resources (2)
The notes for today's lesson come in the form of a Problem Solving Task that students will complete in pairs.
The Task: Each pair of students gets a sheet of ledger paper (11x17) and I tell them that I'm going to give them a series of prompts to complete. (Note to Teachers: before reading any further take a look at ferris wheel ride to get an idea of what this looks like).
Sketching a Ferris Wheel Diagram
- After pairs of students are situated, we do a little visualization. I make sure that no one is writing anything down for a few moments, and I post slide #5, with the title, "Imagine This:". I ask students if they know what a Ferris Wheel is. They shout out the locations of some they know: Rye Playland, Toys R Us in Times Square, fairs they've been to. Not all students have been on a Ferris Wheel, but after mentioning a few, they have the idea. I ask them to imagine a Ferris Wheel with a diameter of 40 feet, in which the bottom is 10 feet above the ground, and that takes 8 minutes to make a full lap. I give them about a half-minute to build their mental images in silence.
- I change the slide so the title says, "Sketch this on your paper:" while the parameters stay the same. Over the course of this class, we're going to construct a model (MP4) of a Ferris Wheel ride that consists of a few different representations; this sketch is where we start. Throughout this unit, the Ferris Wheel will give us a real quantity-based point of reference from which we can reason in successively more abstract ways (MP2).
- I give students a few minutes to work together to make their sketches. Students ask if this is the only thing they're going to put on their ledger paper and I say that no - they're going to be labeling this diagram, answering some questions, and completing some other tasks. They should draw a Ferris Wheel that's big enough to label with some important details, but it shouldn't take up more than half the page. I have compasses and protractors (tools, of course - MP5) available for anyone who wants them.
- After a few minutes, I move to slide #7, which says "Label Your Diagram". I ask students to pause for a moment and think about how a Ferris Wheel moves. Students put their fingers out and make circles in the air. I make a big point of saying how we're going to assume that this particular Ferris Wheel moves at a constant rate, which will take a minor suspension of disbelief. If you've taken a ride on a Ferris Wheel, I point out, you know that sometimes it has to stop and go to let riders on and off. For the sake of learning some new math, we're going to imagine a Ferris Wheel that just keeps moving at a constant rate. Depending on how well I see that my students are following along, I might note that they've done this with linear functions in the past: when they do a d=rt problem that assumes a car is traveling at a constant speed of 50 mph, they are engaging in a similar suspension of disbelief. We know that you don't get in car and just drive the same speed for hours on end, but for the sake of linear functions, it's a nice starting point. I tell my students that fortunately, they're developing more and more of the skills necessary to model ever more realistic phenomena. But back to the point at hand: we're assuming that this Ferris Wheel moves at a constant rate, and that it takes 8 minutes for it to make one full revolution.
- The next objective is for students to mark their diagrams to indicate where a rider will be after each minute of the ride. When students reach for their protractors, I feign surprise: "How does a protractor help you with this problem?" Students are delighted to tell me that they know that every minute, the wheel will turn 45 degrees. It's a nice mini-check-in to see which students understand this and why. In general, it's most students. The idea of "slicing up" into parts with equal central angles is pretty solid from their work on the Defining Pi Project in Unit 2.
Modeling Time vs. Height
The next task is to make a table of values - that other great function representation - that lists the height of a rider off the ground at each minute of their ride. I have given a minimal amount of time on each prompt up to this point, and I post this task when I see that the first few groups are ready for it. Some groups will still be finishing up their sketchs and their labeling, and it's fine for them to see where they're going next. One neat benefit of ledger paper is that there's room for two students to write at once - so if one student is still labeling the sketch on the left side of the paper, another can draw this chart.
This is where things really get interesting: I give students 5-10 minutes to discuss this task and to begin to fill in the chart.
As I walk around, I watch to see what they're writing, but I make no comments. I'm watching to see the order in which students fill in the table. Are they going row by row? Are they filling in 0 and 8 first, then the middle? The latter scenario of starting with the "easy" points reflects a strong understanding of the model, and indeed, this is what I see most students doing. The majority of students will fill in 0, 4 and 8 minutes first because they recognize these as the bottoms and tops of the ride. Most will also notice that at 2 and 6 minutes, a rider is "half-way up" the wheel, and therefore 30 feet above the ground. That leaves 1, 3, 5 and 7 minutes.
In general, there are two moves that students might make. They will either notice a linear relationship going up and down, and assume that height follows the pattern 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, and back down, or they will stop in confusion and wonder how to figure out the height of a rider at these odd-numbered minutes. Either result gives us a place to start on today's mini-lesson.

During the Mini-Lesson I will use Symmetry and Trigonometry to help students fill in the missing values. As students have been working, I have stayed a step or two behind them in making my own sketch on the board. When I see that all students have sketched their own circles, I draw a circle on the board. When they have all labeled their minute marks, I do the same. As they're digging into the table of values, I draw my own table of values on the board. When it seems like all students have at least filled in some of the rows of the table, and I can see that they've discussed but not really settled happily on solutions to the problem of the odd-minute points, I begin today's mini-lesson (see Photo to see what my sketch looks like).
I've already made my own observations about how students are filling in the table of values, but now I ask the class:
Have all of you been filling in your time vs. height charts in order, row by row? Or have you been using some other method.
I let students volunteer to explain how they started with 0, but then skipped to 4 and to 8 minutes.
To begin elaborating on my Ferris Wheel diagram, I start by drawing horizontal lines from the bottom and top of the Ferris Wheel, and I label these lines 0 and 4 minutes. At my students' prompting, I fill in the corresponding rows of my table, and everyone agrees that there are pretty straightforward. Next I draw another horizontal line from the middle of the wheel: this is the "2 minute line." I point out that even though I'm working on a chalkboard with an imperfect sketch, it's pretty clear that this line is halfway in-between my 0 and 4 lines. I ask if anyone has other reasons why the rider would be halfway from 10 feet to 50 feet at this point, and students talk about the radius of the wheel being 20 feet, the constant speed of the wheel, and other observations about the circle. We all agree that it makes sense to add 30 feet to the 2 minute row of the chart. Here, I also point out that there's symmetry on the wheel, and students are quick to point out that at 6 minutes, the rider is also 30 feet up. I point out that symmetry can be observed both on the circle and in the table of values. On the circle, the most important line of symmetry is a the vertical diameter of the Ferris Wheel; in the table, the ordered pair (4,50) makes a place where we "fold this table over." With both representations in mind, it's pretty clear that at the rider will be at the same height at minutes 3 and 5, and also at 1 and 7. The question is, what are these heights?
Next, I draw two more horizontal lines, from 1 and 3 minutes. This is the moment when it becomes very clear to students that the vertical changes from 0 to 1 and from 1 to 2 minutes are not equal. Now my students can see that this not going to be a linear function.
Although it's a little misleading in terms of what our variables mean, I draw a straight line from 0 to 2 minutes, and I ask students to compare the slope of this line to the curve of the Ferris Wheel. From minutes 0 to 1, the wheel rises gently, with a slope less steep than the straight line. Then, from minute 1 to 2, it rises more dramatically, "catching up" to the the straight line. We know that the same amount of time passes between each of these points, but how can we figure out the vertical displacement? I give students a few minutes to solve this problem.
As I circulate, I see some students finding the 45/45/90 triangle that is the key to solving this problem. I see others considering the lengths of the arcs between each pair of points: for these students I try to get them to see that the arcs will have the same length, but it's only the vertical change we're looking for. I see other students using rulers to measure the distances between these horizontal lines, then using proportions to estimate what those distances represent. Some students are simply making their best estimates without the help of any tools, but aren't sure how to verify their answers.
Knowing that a few students have already found it, I ask the class if anyone can find in this diagram a right triangle that might be able to help us. I try to get some of my more confused students involved by asking what we know so far. Are there any angles we know? Well, we know we've got that central angle of 45 degrees from when we sliced-up the circle into 8 1-minute increments. Are there any sides we know? We know that the radius of the circle is 20. What is the relationship between these? Is it possible to make a right triangle that uses the central angle and the radius. In the photo, you'll see that I've used blue chalk to highlight the triangle I want students to see. I've drawn the height as a dotted blue line, once as the vertical leg of a 45/45/90 triangle, and again off to the right, as the distance between the 2 and 3 minutes lines.
Before we continue, I go back to the symmetry of this diagram. If we can figure out this distance, what else will it tell us? It will be the same as the distance between 1 and 2 minutes. Additionally, once we know this value, we'll just have to subtract it from 20 feet to get the distances between 0 and 1, and 3 and 4 minutes. Finally, as we've already seen, these values will match those on the left side of the diagram.
The key here is that I'm trying to embed this problem in as much context as possible. Most of my students can quickly calculate the length of a missing side of a special right triangle. Fewer are able to find such a triangle and apply this knowledge. So before we get to solving the problem, it's important to figure out all the ways that it will help us to do so. After this stage is set, I set students to task. I recognize that I've written a lot here; I've done so because I'm trying to cover all that I try to show students as we work on this task. The conversation takes maybe 10 minutes, if I include all the thinking time I'm allowing for. Once students get back to work, I'm able to circulate and see how much they were able to understand. I give them space to talk to each other and to fill in/revise the rest of their charts.

Post-Mini-Lesson Math Buffet
So What If I Keep Riding? (Or at least continue the chart?)
As students finish the work of filling out this chart, I post the next prompt:
Write a sentence or two describing what will happen if you continue this chart.
I have chosen this wording because I want to leave it to students to interpret what the chart represents (a ride on a Ferris Wheel), and what its continuation will represent. An alternate wording would be to say something like, "What would this chart look like if the rider continued to ride the Ferris Wheel?", but I like the mixing of representations and the translating back that happens when I ask about the chart.
How is this related to sine and cosine?
I preemptively post the very general question, "How is this related to sine and cosine?" We have not yet made any sort of explicit connection between periodic functions and the sine and cosine function, but there's certainly a trail of breadcrumbs that the enterprising student should be able to pick up on. I'm just curious what will think about this, and it's always interesting to see how they phrase their understandings before I reference these connections.
Make a Graph + What Happens Between the Points?
The next task is to plot the points from our time vs. height chart on a graph. Students can make this graph directly on the ledger paper, and there's graph paper available if they want it. Plotting the points is pretty trivial, although I make sure to point out the symmetry that we've seen on the circle and in the table once again.
I do my best to help students make two more observations that I find much more interesting: first, that we're not going to have straight lines in-between these plotted points. We go back to our initial visualization - at what pace is a rider rising as they take a spin around the Ferris Wheel? (Of course, such a question makes some room for a future study of Calculus, and this is a theme I try to hit a few times in this unit.) The other thing to consider is what happens if this graph continues.
Look at These Graphs: Which one is more like the Ferris Wheel ride?
Finally, I ask students to pick up a graphic calculator and look at the basic graphs of y = sin(x) and y = cos(x). What they see will depend on whether their calculators are in radian or degree mode, and on the viewing window they've set. I tell students to stick with radians, and then to consider at least changing the y-scale to reflect their knowledge of the range of possible values for each function. Just to give students a view of what they're looking for, I put desmos.com up on the projector screen, and plot these two graphs.
After students have seen these graphs, the final question of the day is this: which one looks more like our Ferris Wheel graph? I ask students to answer this question on their ledger paper, and I pair it with a "coming attraction" for tomorrow's lesson: how can we write an equation for a function that will match what we've made for the Ferris Wheel?
A brief note on the direction in which a Ferris Wheel turns:
Invariably, a student will ask if it matters which direction we have the Ferris Wheel turning. In reality, the direction a the wheel turns depends on which side we watch it from -- all Ferris Wheels go both clockwise and counterclockwise at the same time! For our purposes, I have my wheel turning in a counterclockwise direction, just to match the unit circle.

Homework: Delta Math
Tonight's homework is to begin work on a new Delta Math assignment that takes students through some details about the graphs of trig functions. I tell students to pay attention for key vocabulary, and that we will use their work on this assignment to expand our knowledge of this topic in the coming classes.

There is no formal closing to today's class, but I will collect the work of all student pairs as an Exit Slip. These documents provide great evidence of student thinking. It's great to see the kinds of problem solving that students did, to read their responses to the written prompts of today's assignment, and to see how they incorporate today's notes into their own work. This is pure formative assessment. Going into the next class, these papers will tell me precisely who and what I need to focus on.

A wonderfully tactile and beautiful sculpture of an Elephant, hand carved from hard Springstone this is both delightful to view and to touch. Unlike other forms of sculpture it is unique since the patterns in the stone cannot be replicated. The piece is carved using a diamond tipped chisel. It is then sanded for literally hours through varying degrees of sand paper until the artist reaches 2500 grade sand paper. The sculpture is then heated and a polish is melted into the stone. Finally it is buffered to leave this wonderfully tactile surface. Springstone is used by only the most skilled artists.
Perhaps the perfect ornament to fill that special space. Or maybe a different kind of gift for that special someone or occasion. The sculpture is suitable for inside or outside the home, requiring minimal care.
ABOUT THE ARTISTS: Many of our sculptures originate from small and sometimes rural sculptor communities in around the capital of Zimbabwe, Harare. This particular piece originated from a small community based in the suburb known as Tengenenge the home and origins of Shona sculpture. It is our vision to see these traditional communities to continue to thrive.

CLEMSON — The Clemson-Florida State game was billed as one of the biggest showdowns in Atlantic Coast Conference history.
But a major subplot leading up to the game was the matchup between Clemson quarterback Tajh Boyd and Florida State's Jameis Winston.
In the end, it wasn't much of a contest.
"He performed, he performed at a high level tonight," Boyd said. "You could tell (Winston) was very confident when he stepped out onto that field. You've got give him some props because he played at a very high level on a big stage."
Showing a poise far beyond his years, Winston, a redshirt freshman, easily outplayed his Clemson counterpart and now has to be considered a serious contender for the Heisman Trophy after the Seminoles' 51-14 victory over Clemson on Saturday night.
Winston picked apart the Tigers, completing 22 of 34 passes for 444 yards and three touchdowns with one interception. He also ran for a touchdown.
"Unfortunately for us, everything that everyone was saying about him before the game was accurate," said Clemson defensive coordinator Brent Venables. "He's a great player, mature beyond his years. He really executed their and managed their offense very well tonight."
Winston's quarterback rating was 197.6.
"He showed a lot of poise," said Clemson defensive end Corey Crawford. "He played like a veteran. He obviously learned a lot tonight backing up E.J. Manuel. He came prepared to play."
Boyd, who looked out of sync from the beginning of the game, was just 17 of 37 for 156 yards with two interceptions and one TD.
"Just wasn't my night, I need to do better," Boyd said.
Sack dance
The Clemson defense entered Saturday night's game as the ACC's top sack unit.
Led by defensive lineman Vic Beasley, who came into the game with a national-best nine quarterback sacks, the Tigers were averaging four sacks per game.
The Tigers sacked Winston three times, but failed to get the kind of consistent pressure they'd managed in previous games.
"We had a play here or there when he got in his face," Venables said. "But we needed to be more consistent. We didn't do enough to get him out of rhythm."
Clemson had three sacks against the Seminoles. Beasley, who had just two tackles, did not record a sack.
"They double-teamed me, used a back to chip me sometimes," Beasley said. "It was a frustrating night. I couldn't make a play."
More than a dozen former Clemson greats were on the sidelines before the game, but none drew a bigger crowd than the Perry brothers — William and Michael Dean.
Former running back Terry Allen, quarterback Mike Eppley and defensive back Terry Kinard were on the scene as well.
William "The Fridge" Perry and Michael Dean drew the loudest applause when they were shown on the video board. Fans swarmed around the brothers to chat and get photos with the former Clemson All-Americans.
Back in August, there were erroneous reports that William Perry had died. While Perry has suffered through multiple health issues, including diabetes, he was very much alive. He did need a golf cart to get around Saturday.
"Nope, I'm still here," Perry said with a chuckle. "I'm OK, doing much better."
Eppley, Michael Dean Perry and Allen served as honorary captains.
With ESPN's GameDay on the Clemson campus for the second time this season, it was a perfect showcase for prospective Tiger recruits.
The Tigers hosted nearly 100 prospects for the game against Florida State.
The list included Gainesville (Ga.) High School quarterback DeShaun Watson, the top-rated dual-threat quarterback in the nation, according to Rivals.com.
Watson, who has thrown for more than 10,000 career yards, verbally committed to the Tigers back in February. Watson is the only five-star player among the Tigers' 18 verbal commitments to date. Watson is the 23rd-ranked overall player.
"I wasn't going to miss this game," said Watson. "I can't wait to play in a game like this when I get here."
Watson said he plans to graduate from high school early and enroll at Clemson in January to take part in spring practice.
"My goal is to start next season," Watson said. "The best way to do that is to get here for spring practice and show the coaching staff I'm ready."
Clemson safety Robert Smith, a former Woodland High School star, recorded a career-high 11 tackles against the Seminoles.
Over the last three games, Smith has 29 tackles. Smith is third on the team with 46 tackles, including a sack and two tackles for loss.
Florida State's Roberto Aguayo kicked a 37-yard field goal in the first quarter against the Tigers. Clemson was one of just two teams that had yet to give up a field goal this season. Syracuse and North Carolina State each missed field goals this season against the Tigers. Coming into the weekend, Bowling Green was the only other team to not allow a field goal.
Sammy Watkin's 3-yard TD reception was his 20th of his career. Watkins, a junior, is tied for second place with Aaron Kelly for most TD catches. DeAndre Hopkins holds the Clemson mark with 27 TD catches.
The 17 first-quarter points scored by Florida State were the most the Tigers had given up in a single quarter all season and the most since N.C. State scored 21 last season.
Clemson starting cornerback Bashaud Breeland was ejected from the game in the third quarter for a helmet-to-helmet hit on Winston. Breeland will miss the first half of next Saturday's game with Maryland.
Florida State cornerback Lamarcus Joyner had an impressive stat line against the Tigers. Joyner finished with five tackles, including a sack and one tackle for loss, an interception and two forced fumbles. His forced fumble on Boyd in the first half led to Marion Edwards' 37-yard return for a TD.
Florida State's 51 points are the most points scored by an opponent at Death Valley. N.C. State had the previous record of 48 points in a 62-48 loss last year in Clemson.

Community comes through for FDLPL Express branch
The Fond du Lac Public Library asked, and it has received. After announcing that it needed to raise $40,000 from the community to open an historic branch location, the library has surpassed its goal in just eight weeks.
"This is just phenomenal," said library Director Ken Hall. "We now have the funds to open and furnish what will be a real asset to our community. We're bowled over and very grateful."
To date, the library has received just over $42,000, including $20,000 from Fond du Lac business woman Judith Berger and a $10,000 from an anonymous contributor who challenged the community to match that amount.
The $42,000 will be enough to paint, carpet and furnish the library branch.
Hall hopes that the community will continue to give to allow the branch to be equipped with amenities that the public has grown to expect from their public library, which include a self-checkout station, Wi-Fi service and special learn-and-play furniture in the Children's section (pictured here).
Hall said interior construction is expected to begin any day, and he expects to open doors in mid-September. A grand opening will be held on Saturday, October 22, with a special guests and surprises.
The library welcomes donations from the public. Donation forms – and a donation watering can – are available at the library's main desk and at the bookmobile parked in front of Festival Foods. Anyone who donates $100 or more will have their names added to a plaque at the Express branch.
Donations to the Fond du Lac Public Library are tax deductible. Checks should be written to Fond du Lac Public Library, 32 Sheboygan St., Fond du Lac, WI 54935. A donation receipts are available. For more information, contact Director Ken Hall at (920) 929-7080, ext. 133, or [email protected].
