Previous to last year's event there was quite a bit of road construction happening in the Empire area, they DO have to do maintenance just like anywhere else. It's hotter than Hades in the summer and exactly the opposite in the winter, freezing cold! Extremes are difficult on roadways.... They probably barely have the budget to keep the road safe let alone widen it.
Anyway, knee jerk, what's really wrong?
The Popularity. Supply/Demand, Guns/Butter, Liquor/Beer.... Why is it so popular?
Because it's awesome. Seems the population already grew pretty quickly just by world of mouth over the years - but add to that these viral Dr Seuss videos and all? Am I the only person that thinks this awareness might ruin Burning Man?
Keep your traps shut. Even bringing one friend will lead to a population explosion - do you really need to post your pictures and videos online to show everyone how cool you are?
I'm guilty, I brought one person in nearly a decade, so I'm as guilty as anyone, but this video mass marketing bullshit has got to stop.

Supreme Court Sidesteps Poker Games Appeal Case
Court Refuses To Consider Appeal by Staten Island Businessman
WASHINGTON—The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday sidestepped a case questioning whether hosting large poker games is a federal crime.
The court refused to consider an appeal by Lawrence DiCristina, who was prosecuted for hosting poker games in the back of a Staten Island warehouse where he operated an electric bicycle business.

Jews were deported from Kavala, Seres, and Drama in Bulgarian-occupied Macedonia. Some 3,000 Jews were taken to Drama and herded onto trains without food or water for transport to a camp in Gorna Dzumaya. The Jews were probably then taken to the Bulgarian port of Lom on the Danube River, where they boarded ships for Vienna. From there, the Nazis deported them to the Treblinka killing center.

"The Nerds Are Winning"
The quote in the title can be found in the latest article from one of FOXSports.com's most popular writers, Jason Whitlock. Whitlock's article deals with the rise in popularity of Sabermetrics and how he thinks baseball's science is ruining the sport. As expected, a lot of the feedback I saw was negative and Whitlock was roundly mocked as the article made its way around the Internet. I am not going to link to it here, but you can find it easily if you are interested in rewarding him with pageviews and ad revenue.
I am also not going to offer a rebuttal to his article. I imagine most of you who are reading this right now expected me to do a thorough fisking, but I'm not interested in doing that. Instead, I want to get on my soapbox for a bit.
Sabermetrics has made big strides over the past few years. Whitlock's opinion used to be the majority opinion, but now, you'd be hard-pressed to walk into a press box and not see FanGraphs or Baseball Reference on most laptop screens. Whitlock said "the nerds are winning", but he should have written that in the past tense. The nerds have already won.
If we have already won, why are we fighting? On Twitter, I saw many a comment calling Whitlock's credibility into question. Others called him names, others mocked his intellectually-dishonest arguments. It's the Internet, so that's par for the course, but I just don't see a need for it anymore. Saberists used to have to fight back with the bullies just to stay on the playground, but it's our playground now.
I realize I'm not the best candidate to be offering this revelation, as I have engaged in more than my share of spats with writers over the validity of Sabermetrics. Some of them I felt were valid battles to fight, but in retrospect, there were a lot of pointless ones as well. In fact, even as recently as a year ago, you could invert Whitlock's article and it would read like something I'd have written. "Traditionalists are ruining baseball. They take all of the critical thinking out of the game."
Recently, though, I've done some thinking. The genesis of my worldview shift came with my other passion, Starcraft. When I'm not nerding it out with Sabermetrics, I'm nerding it out with Starcraft, whether I'm playing myself or following the competitive scenes in Korea and elsewhere. Like Sabermetrics, Starcraft has had to deal with its share of detractors, especially in the U.S. where the common view on video games is that they're reserved only for loser nerds and that they are a waste of time. The Starcraft community has made strides in making their game palatable to the general population.
One of the biggest strides came when the IGN Pro League signed Utah Jazz forward Gordon Hayward. This signing was to Starcraft as Moneyball the movie was to Sabermetrics: it was a full-blown legitimization directly in the public eye, too big to be ignored. In both cases it was a validation of everything everyone involved in both parties had worked so hard to achieve. Naturally, though, there were still some detractors. Ben Golliver of CBS Sports wrote a condescending response to the Hayward news:
Well, not to go all Charles Barkley on you, but we have officially reached the point where we know for a 100 percent fact that the NBA is too soft. When a 21-year-old, 207 pound forward doesn't immediately recoil in horror when asked to compare the stress and rigors of the NBA to a freaking science fiction video game we know that the NBA game has been cleaned up too much. If a Zerg attack really gets his blood pumping as much as a game-winning shot, that's a terrible look. We don't want to live in a world where this can be true, do we?
The reaction within the Starcraft community was swift. Team Liquid, the largest non-Korean Starcraft website and forum, has a thread with over 350 replies and 27,000 views. The Reddit thread had over 350 comments with nearly 2,000 up- and down-votes. The Starcraft community even mobilized, responding to Golliver on Twitter. The overall response was eerily similar to every Sabermetric-to-traditionalist rebuttal. Some people made the effort to make point-by-point rebuttals, others resorted to name-calling and mockery.
Recently, though, I listened to this clip from Sean "Day[9]" Plott, one of the figureheads in the Starcraft community. To make a Sabermetric analogy, he is Starcraft's Rob Neyer. Plott was asked how he responds to people who view Starcraft negatively. Plott said,
A big thing is to never, never be argumentative… just to be so happy about it.
If someone came up to me and was like "Starcraft is a dumb game. Do you have no friends or something?"
It's easy to be like "What do you mean, it's great. I have friends, here look at my Facebook account, I have 600 of them!"
But instead, if someone's like "Ulgh, you play Starcraft."
"Dude Starcraft is such a sweet game, do you play?" Like to like literally sidestep whatever terrible intro they did and go straight to the heart of it and be like "This game is awesome, do you play? It's the greatest thing ever." And to relentlessly hold that standpoint. [That's] kick ass.
This was a great thing to hear for me, personally. By nature, I'm an argumentative person, so when someone makes flawed arguments like Whitlock did in his article, it is very hard for me to resist the urge to argue with or correct them. But what Plott said resonated with me and it prompted a shift in my worldview.
As this blog became more and more popular, I became a spokesperson for Sabermetrics, at least within the Phillies community. In retrospect, I feel like I have failed in some ways in being a good spokesperson because I am too argumentative and, by nature, negative. In the future, I want to argue less and have conversations more. I want Sabermetrics to be inclusive rather than exclusive. I would like my fellow writers in the Sabermetric community to join me. Instead of calling out Whitlock and telling him how ignorant and close-minded he is, tell him what he's missing with Sabermetrics. Tell him what you like about it, rather than telling him the reasons he doesn't like it are invalid. And apply this to any Sabermetric detractors you encounter whether in real life or on the Internet. Support the Saberists doing yeoman's work (ex. Colin Wyers, Mike Fast, Tom Tango, etc.) by helping to promote their research. Conversely, don't reward detractors with pageviews and ad revenue by drawing attention to what they're saying.
The nerds have already won. We no longer need to fight, we just need to maintain possession of the position we have now. Bring more people into the field. Give them reasons to see why Sabermetrics is so great. Run a positive campaign.

Operation everything
By Andrei Codrescu
Look at what happened, mother said pointing at CNN. I looked up from the newspaper I was reading at her behest because she wanted me to read the jokes in the media organ of the retirement community where she lives. Suicide bombers on CNN kind of interfered with my complete understanding of a Britney Spears joke that ends, I think that gay marriage should be between a man and a woman. Im surprised that the folks around here know who Britney Spears is.
My mom and I watched The Honeymooners last evening. President Bush follows the suicide carnage on CNN with a firm vow to keep fighting in Iraq. Hes in Mongolia. Ive been on the road from New York to Florida and I stopped to see my mother this Thanksgiving week because I am a dutiful son. My clothes are tumbling in the washer on the floor of the complex mother inhabits. This morning we took a walk to look at all the trees downed by the latest storm. Mother also showed me the empty swimming pool being cleaned of dirt and branches. They also have a movie theatre here, exercise rooms, classes in Spanish and sculpture. None of those interest mother whod rather complain about the world.
The TV is a very important aid to her activity. It helps provide fuel when the fire of the worlds offenses against her runs low. Well, thats one of the privileges of age: you can call out the flaws in everything, and everything is flawed, believe me. CNN displays Bush in Mongolia against a red wall festooned with some designs that look like a zillion sickles and hammers, and mother brings out some sugarless cookies that I must have because these are the O.K. kind. I eat them.
My mother is a Democrat. Last evening we watched Fahrenheit 911, the Michael Moore movie, and she cried. Today, CNN looks like its the sequel to Moores movie. Actually, every day since Bush was re-elected has been a sequel to Moores movie. There is also a Greek-lettered hurricane in the Caribbean again, so that feels like a sequel, too. If they run out of the Greek alphabet, they can start on the Cyrillic. Then the Chinese. Thank God we have plenty of alphabets. What we dont have is the forbearance and wherewithal to take any more hurricanes and three more years of George W. Bush.
My mother lived through World War II in Romania, but that was then, and this is now. Killing civilians still gets her upset, even though its not our relatives this time. They are somebody elses relatives. But the storms do seem personal. Especially since the Bush gang seems determined to deny global warming and environmental degradation. Mother jumps up and runs to put my clothes in the drier. She returns excited: I got there just in time. An old man was taking over the driers. Old men. Time. Timing. The world. Its all here, and Im typing it as it happens.

This is truly amazing ... a very professional well run site. I was in an emergency situation to find a place in New York while living and working Canada. I was too busy to make tons of calls and visit places in person. Not only did I find a great place with a great roommate... my apartment in NYC is cheaper than my rent in Canada!!! Best of all, I exerted very little energy to make it happen - Roommates.com did all the work. - Wayne
I was first signed up with a competitor of yours... however, I grew tired of writing to people I did not get responses from (couldn't tell how old the listings were) and was getting closer to D-Day when I decided to sign up for your service. I think the room-mail feature is great. It allows you to remain confidential until you're more comfortable and I loved the resources page you made available. I was able to use several of the links you provided. Of course, best of all...I found my new roommate and renter here! Thanks Much - Michelle

The Pentecostal movement is the most successful Protestant denomination in the world today, with about 150 million members. Its presence in France goes back to the 1930s and its main Churches are the "Assemblées de Dieu" and "La Mission Evangélique Tzigane".
The Pentecostal movement was founded by the black evangelist William James Seymour (1872-1922) in 1906, in the United States. It was the result of various different influences; primarily, the spirituality of Afro-American culture and some elements of Methodism and Catholicism. It spread rapidly throughout the States.William James Seymour
Oral communication and the action of the Holy Spirit are important elements for the Third World. In Africa, Korea, China and Latin America the fact that Pentecostals lay great stress on the pre-Christian elements of thesir cultures is one of the main reasons for the success of Pentecostalism.
As for Europe, there are many Pentecostals in Eastern Europe, Switzerland and Scandinavia. In France, the Revival movement of the early XIXth century emphasised the importance of a more living faith and missionary outreach. Because of this, France identified with the Pentecostal movement which advocated "baptism in the Spirit" for their members, thus enabling them to speak in tongues and to acquire gifts of prophecy and healing.
Due to the spectacular expansion of the
Wasson intricate studded bracelet Metallic DLlXL3w
in the Third World and in Eastern Europe, they have now come onto the ecumenical scene. The Ecumenical Church Angara Emerald Diamond Halo Engagement Ring in Platinum hg8LuSH
(ECC) and the Pentecostal Churches have met together several times and 12 of the largest Pentecostal Churches have joined the ECC.
The Pentecostals have also been in dialogue with the Vatican, the Worldwide Alliance of Reformed Churches and the Orthodox Churches.
The aim of the Pentecostals is to go back to basics, to live as the first apostles, stressing in particular the experience of
Mattioli Puzzle Diamond Pendant Necklace in 18K White Gold CCHduJNY8f
. So the identity of the Pentecostal movement is based on this experience of the Holy Spirit (that they call being "born again") which brings the ability to speak in tongues, or glossolia. This consists of speaking a language which is comprehensible but unknown to the speaker, or, more commonly, the expression of praise or prayer using words which do not actually exist in any language.

While he's not Am anymore, being Pro has it's benefits of getting colorways too. DC Lynx in a Cyril Colorway –
While giving ams colorways isn't the newest movement in skateboarding, it's certainly starting to gain momentum in skate footwear more than ever. There's no doubt that ams are just as deserving of their own colorways, so as a way to dissuade you from saying "Where's ______'s pro model? He's ripping better than the pros!" , you can simply get their custom colorway shoe instead. On top of that, this is the best way to support ams that you're genuinely psyched on, and that counts for more than you think. If they also happen to have a great looking colorway, even better.
TFunk's colorway, next to you standard black and white colorway. Out now.
DC Trase T-Funk Colorway – We normally don't condone skateboarding nicknames, as they tend to have some sort of stigma or bad luck to those who host them (think about it), but T-Funk is pretty good. Along with a good name, apparently one of skateboarding's younger prodigies has a good eye when it comes to picking out colors fortheir signature colorway model. The Trase is a pretty blank canvas, with little to no room for adding layers or any additional lines or colors- making it all that harder to paint. T-Funk came correct with this white/green combo. The gold eyelets set it off instead of tying the green accents inand potentially overwhelming the shoe's aesthetic. To add to this great colorway, it's $60 and has DC's durable super suede all throughout the upper. Purple Kush sockliner on the inside too. We see where this is going…DC Trase T-Funk Colorway –
Jordan's Quincy insole design, along with additional details .
NB# Quincy 254 Jordan Taylor Colorway – With our reasoning in the intro in mind, the idea of supporting your favorite am isn't that farfetched, especially if that favorite am of yours is Jordan Taylor. As one of skateboarding's favorites, this release of the Quincy 254 in his selected colorway is the best way to support him. The $80 price tag may seem a bit steep, but that's until you take into consideration the heavy duty pig suede that completely takes over this grey/pink upper combo. As with other ams mentioned in this article, it would appear that the younger guys have a much more tasteful/risky approach when it comes to selecting colorways. It's been a while since we've seen pink on a skate shoe and no lie, we'reimmediately excited by it.

(CVX) Oil & Gas Stock Outlook – January 2013 – Industry Outlook
Crude Oil
High U.S. crude and fuel stocks, worries about North America and Europe's growth outlook, a strong dollar and an impending fight over raising the U.S. debt ceiling have weakened oil prices to around low-$90s a barrel. Partly offsetting this unfavorable view has been a demand uptick from developing countries.
The immediate outlook for oil, however, remains tepid given the commodity's fairly positive supply picture. In particular, while Saudi Arabia is likely to cut back on its production, global oil output is expected to get a boost from sustained strength in North America, Iraq, Nigeria and Angola. On the other hand, the growth in global liquids fuel demand will be relatively soft in the absence of a strong global recovery.
According to the Energy Information Administration (EIA), which provides official energy statistics from the U.S. Government, world crude consumption grew by an estimated 0.9 million barrel per day in 2012 to a record-high level of 89.2 million barrels per day.
The agency, in its most recent Short-Term Energy Outlook, said that it expects global oil demand growth by another 0.9 million barrels per day in 2013 and by a further 1.4 million barrels per day in 2014. Importantly, EIA's latest report assumes that world supply is likely to go up by 1.0 million barrels per day this year and by 1.7 million barrels per day in 2014.
In our view, crude oil prices in the first half of 2013 are likely to exhibit a sideways-to-bearish trend. With domestic demand relatively soft and the global economy still showing signs of weakness, the fact that supply will be outpacing consumption appears to be evident.
As long as sharp crude output growth from North America continues and the world demand is unable to keep up with that, we are likely to experience a pressure in the price of a barrel of oil. We assume that crude will trade in the $90-$95 per barrel range for the near future.
Natural Gas
Over the last few years, a quiet revolution has been reshaping the energy business in the U.S. The success of 'shale gas' — natural gas trapped within dense sedimentary rock formations or shale formations — has transformed domestic energy supply, with a potentially inexpensive and abundant new source of fuel for the world's largest energy consumer.
With the advent of hydraulic fracturing (or fracking) — a method used to extract natural gas by blasting underground rock formations with a mixture of water, sand and chemicals — shale gas production is now booming in the U.S. Coupled with sophisticated horizontal drilling equipment that can drill and extract gas from shale formations, the new technology is being hailed as a breakthrough in U.S. energy supplies, playing a key role in boosting domestic natural gas reserves.
As a result, once faced with a looming deficit, natural gas is now available in abundance. In fact, natural gas inventories in underground storage have persistently exceeded the five-year average since late September 2011 and ended the usual summer stock-building season of April through October at a record 3.923 trillion cubic feet (as of October 31, 2012).
This prompted natural gas prices to dive approximately 63% from the 2011 peak of $4.92 per million Btu (MMBtu) to a 10-year low of $1.82 per MMBtu during late April 2012 (referring to spot prices at the Henry Hub, the benchmark supply point in Louisiana ).
Looking forward, EIA expects average total production to rise from 69.2 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) in 2012 to 69.8 Bcf/d in 2013, while total natural gas consumption is anticipated to remain relatively flat this year at 69.7 Bcf/d.
However, with the U.S. winter set to be colder than the unusually warm last one, we might expect some balancing of the commodity's supply/demand disparity on the back of its more normalized use for space heating by residential/commercial consumers.
But until then, the weak fundamentals are going to continue to weigh on natural gas prices, translating into limited upside for natural gas-weighted companies and related support plays.
Considering the turbulent market dynamics of the energy industry, we always advocate the relatively low-risk conglomerate business structures of the large-cap integrateds, with their fortress-like balance sheets, ample free cash flows even in a low oil price environment and growing dividends.
Our preferred name in this group remains Chevron Corp. (CVX). Its current oil and gas development project pipeline is among the best in the industry, boasting large, multiyear projects. Additionally, Chevron possesses one of the healthiest balance sheets among peers, which helps it to capitalize on investment opportunities with the option to make strategic acquisitions.
Within the contract drilling group, we like Helmerich & Payne Inc. (HP). Supported by a superior and diversified drilling fleet, together with a healthy financial profile, we expect the company to sustain its profitability over the foreseeable future. We believe Helmerich's technologically-advanced FlexRigs will continue to benefit from an upswing in U.S. land drilling activity and the shift to complex onshore plays that require highly intensive solutions.
Buoyed by the favorable trends in the refining sector, we are more optimistic on the industry than we were 12 months ago. An uptick in economic activity overseas (mainly in developing countries) and prospects for lower feedstock costs are likely to push 2013 industry margins higher than last year's levels. Against this backdrop, we are particularly bullish on Tesoro Corp. (TSO), Valero Energy Corp. (VLO) and Marathon Petroleum Corp. (MPC).
China's CNOOC Ltd. (CEO) is also a top pick. CNOOC remains well-placed to benefit from the country's growing appetite for energy and the turnaround in commodity prices. In particular, the company enjoys a monopoly on exploration activities in China's very prospective offshore region in addition to having a growing presence in the country's natural gas and liquefied natural gas (LNG) infrastructure. The impending acquisition of Canadian energy producer Nexen Inc. (NXY) will further improve CNOOC's growth profile by augmenting proven reserves by 30%, while helping it to vastly expand its holdings in Canada.
Finally, despite the depressing natural gas fundamentals and the understandable reluctance on the investors' part to dip their feet into these stocks, we would advocate to opt for Cabot Oil & Gas Corp. (COG). The company's recent results have been driven by its exposure to the high-return Marcellus and Eagle Ford Shale plays, as well as its above-average production growth. A relatively low-risk profile and longer reserve lives are other positives in the Cabot story.
We recommend avoiding Weatherford International Ltd. (WFT), a major oilfield services provider. Of late, the company has been pegged back by certain tax accounting and goodwill impairment issues, forcing it to defer its income tax reporting. Further, Weatherford expects poor-margin Iraqi contracts to hurt operations and shrink its near-term average output. Low gas prices also remain a concern. Given these headwinds, we expect shares of Weatherford to be under pressure.
We are bearish on Brazil 's state-run energy giant Petroleo Brasileiro S.A. (PBR), or Petrobras S.A. The Rio de Janeiro-headquartered company has been suffering on the back of lower production, rising costs and heavy fuel imports. We also remain concerned by Petrobras' huge investment requirements, the possibility of heightened state interference and caps on local fuel prices.
We are also skeptical on Canadian energy explorer Talisman Energy Inc. (TLM). Taking a cautious view of gas prices, Talisman's capital program specifically focuses on the promising North American liquids-rich areas, which is a major shift away from dry natural gas development. While subscribing to management's outlook, we believe the realignment of Talisman will take some time to bear results. Questions about the company's sustainable operational efficiency and execution abilities also remain key areas of concern, in our view.
Based upon the number of near-term challenges, we remain pessimistic on the near-term prospects of Nabors Industries Ltd. (NBR). The land drilling contractor is facing headwinds in the pressure pumping market on the back of collapsing prices and lower utilization. The recent weakness in the North American onshore rig count has also been a negative. As usual, we remain concerned about weak natural gas fundamentals, which are likely to limit the company's ability to generate positive earnings surprises. Nabors' fairly debt-heavy balance sheet also remains an issue.
Chinese refining giant China Petroleum and Chemical Corporation (SNP) — also known as Sinopec — is another company we would like to avoid for the time being, mainly due to slower domestic growth. Moreover, increases in the price of international crude oil — amid government caps on fuel prices — has been preventing the company from fully passing on spiraling costs to consumers, and thereby hurting refining margins.
Lastly, we expect ADRs of another Chinese heavyweight, PetroChina Co. Ltd. (PTR), to be under pressure in the near future. The Beijing-based integrated outfit recently posted weak quarterly results on the back of a challenging operating environment and persistent refining losses. We also remain concerned by PetroChina's oil production growth prospects, considering its heavy exposure to significantly mature-producing areas. Other near-term headwinds include high-priced gas imports amid low domestic gas sale prices, policy uncertainty and an ambitious investment program.

The 'What's and 'Where's of Literature
Lesson 12 of 15
Objective: SWBAT use key details from illustrations and words in a story to show how the characters develop.
- Chester the Brave by Audrey Penn
- Lesson vocabulary words from the Reading/Writing word wall:questioning, inferential, literal, literature, beginning, middle, end, illustration, words
- Set up the whiteboard
- 'What's and 'Where's' worksheet
- 'What's and 'Where's worksheet-version 2 worksheet (less writing involved)*
- raccoon template (one strip for each student)
This is a lesson in the middle of a unit about questioning. In this lesson, the students ask and answer questions to demonstrate understanding of key details in a text (RL.2.1), evidencing the shift in Common Core Standards toward using text details to improve comprehension. We are also examining how the plot changes by looking at illustrations and wording (RL.2.7). My students are fairly comfortable with asking and answering questions at this point in the year.
I chose this book, Chester the Brave, because the text is an 2nd grade level, it has excellent illustrations and great text.The character clearly develops over the course of the story. My goal is to really focus on writing 'what' and 'where' questions to show how the character changes. This is deeper level questioning that the Common Core Standards are focusing on. Students are typically adept at the literal 'what color...' and 'what is the name...' questions. Our focus is to use questioning to improve reading comprehension, which means that students must ask deeper level questions that lead to understanding.
* When I taught this lesson a second time, I used the 'version 2' of the worksheet. My students struggled with writing so much last time I taught this, so I felt the version with less writing involved would be better.
Resources (5)
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)
Gain student interest and introduce the topic
- Show the picture of 'Chester' from (or the book) The Kissing Hand and see what the kids remember about the characters in story. Let the kids tell about the characters in the story.
- "Today we are going to look at the characters from The Kissing Hand in a new story called Chester the Brave."
- "When an author writes a story, the characters in the story develop or change over the course of a story. We can ask questions to figure out how the characters change and use the illustrations and words in the text to answer those questions."
If you have not taught lessons about question writing, I encourage you to look at some of the earlier lessons so your students get some practice with writing and answering questions. These lessons include The Whys and Whens of Questioning about Literature, So What Do You Think, Using Evaluative Questions with Literature, Evaluative Questions-Pick Your Side and Argue, Questions Help Us See How Characters Develop, That Striking Language and Ask Questions About Those Illustrations.

Teacher's Turn
Introduce strategy - teacher models
- Pass out the worksheet - "Today we'll use questions to see how Chester changes during the story. I'll read a bit of the beginning and then we'll stop and ask some questions. Then we'll continue to the middle and then the end of the story."
- "Here's the beginning of the story" - Read up through the page "He thought it meant he wasn't brave...."
- "To help me understand what I read, I'll write 3 questions using 'what' and 'where' about what is happening with the character. After I ask the questions, I'll decide if the answer is in the text or the illustrations. and write that."
- "Where is Chester's mom telling the story? The illustration shows that they're in a cave/den. I'll write 'I' for illustration and write that 'Chester's mom tells him a story in their cave/den."
- "What is Chester worried about? The words don't really say but he talks about the robin so I'll infer 'Chester is worried about being afraid' and put "I" for illustrations because of his worried face."
- "What did Chester ask about the robin?" The words says "He asked if he was not brave because he was too scared to fly. I'll write 'W' for words."
- Students copy as you write.
As we work through the book, students are learning how to describe the overall structure of the story by examining events and asking questions about the beginning, middle and end of the story. (RL.2.5) Analyzing the structure of texts and how the parts relate to the whole story helps the students gain familiarity with text structures and elements. As I point out how the story is organized (beginning-middle-end), I am creating carefully structured situations that allow students to ask and answer questions more independently, a shift in the Common Core State Standards.
Practice strategy - guided practice
- "Let's try asking and answering a question for the middle of the story." I'll read first and then you can help me ask and answer the questions."
- Read through the page that says, "He hopped up and down..."
- "What was Chester bothered about?" The words say 'Chester is bothered about eating worms' and there's a picture, so I'll write 'B' for both."
- "Last one - what question can I use with the word 'where'? "Where did Chester get comfort when he trembled?" Prompt with 'with his mom' and 'I' for illustrations.
- Students finish copying on the paper.
- Here's a demonstration of how this guided practice looks.
- When we were done, this is what the completed whiteboard.

Students Take a Turn
Assign Task
- "Now it's your turn use 'what' or 'where' to ask about one more question from the middle and 2 more questions from the end of the chapter."
- "Remember to write questions that focus on character development. We're thinking about how Chester changed during the story."
- "You'll show your evidence for the answer by writing an 'I' for illustration or 'T' for text.
Formative Assessment as students work
- Give students time to write and help as necessary. Here's a student completing the worksheet.
- "Now I'll read the end of the story and give you time to write 2 more questions."
- Read to the book to the end. "How was Chester feeling at the end? Did mom's story help him change his thinking? What questions could help you understand this?"
- "Include your evidence... how do you know the answer? Was it in the illustrations or text?"
- I did have to redirect some students to make sure they were writing a question that they could answer.
- This is an example of a completed worksheet.
The kids were very comfortable writing these 'who' and 'what' questions, but I did continue to reinforce that they needed to help us see how the character developed. By choosing questions that helped us describe how the characters in the story responded to major events and challenges, they are analyzing how and why the characters, events, and ideas develop and interact over the course of the text. (RL.2.3)
I also reminded the students that we were not predicting ('what will happen?') or asking about the setting or problem ('what did he eat?'). This experience was very typical of many 2nd graders, I think. They can ask questions, but they are not necessarily focused on the task at hand (character development). They also needed to ask questions that could be answered by text evidence or inference. This is a critical component of the Common Core State Standards. Students need to be able to support their ideas and answers with evidence.

Show What You've Learned
Explain the project
- "Let's take what we have written and find out how the character changed over the course of the text."
- "Fold your paper into thirds and glue a 'Chester' face on each section - for the beginning, one for the middle and one for the end. Notice there's no mouth. You need to add a mouth to show how Chester was feeling."
- "You should have 6 questions and answers on your worksheet. Write those 2 answers above the Chester picture for each part." Here's what it looked like when a student was completing the project.
Class reflection with teacher prompts
- "Who can share how he changed over the course of the story?" This is one of the student's reflections.
- Kids can share their projects with the class - prompt with questions - How did Chester change? Was he thinking differently at the end of the story? How do your raccoon faces show this?" This is one of my student's projects.
Scaffolding and Special Education: This lesson could be scaffolded up or down, depending on student ability.
Students with academic challenges typically have difficult writing questions based on what they've heard. They should work with the teacher to formulate questions as a group or the teacher can write prompts on their whiteboards.
Students with higher abilities should be challenged to use some of the more difficult vocabulary of the book, such as 'whimper', 'twitter', and 'bothered'. As you read the text, highlight these words and then write a few on the board to prompt them to use them in the questions or answers.

A Case Statement
The Power of Music
"Music has the power of producing a certain effect on the moral character of the soul, and if it has this power to do this, it is clear that the young must be educated in it." (Aristotle, Politics)
Throughout the history of Western Civilization music has been considered of equal importance to the other academic disciplines - reading, mathematics, and science. In today's world the benefits gained through music education can be grouped into four categories: Success in society; Success in school and learning; Success in developing intelligence; and Success in life. This is supported by studies confirming that music education at an early age greatly increases the likelihood that a child will grow up to seek higher education and ultimately achieve a higher level of income.
Service to the Community
"I do not believe that any city in America possesses an orchestra supported on such a city-wide basis, and with a plan of operation [community music education] which will bring the group so intimately into contact with the city's inhabitants."
(George Eastman, Civic Orchestra News, September 1929)
Serving the community has been a top priority of the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra since its founding in 1922. George Eastman, founder of the Eastman Kodak Company and the world-renowned Eastman School of Music, believed that all Rochester residents could enrich their lives through musical learning, from preschool through college and beyond. The Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra's dedication to lifelong learning through the power of music continues today. There is scarcely a household in the Rochester nine-county region of western New York State that has been left untouched by the orchestra's educational programming for the community's children and adults.
Support for Local School Districts by Addressing New York State Education Department Learning Standards for the Arts
"Standard 3 - Responding to and analyzing works of art
* Students will demonstrate the capacity to listen to and comment on music. . .
* Students will use concepts based on the structure of the music's content to relate music to other broad areas of knowledge" (Standards of the New York State Education Department)
Children should have the opportunity to experience the excitement of live performances by skilled professionals. The needs of students are at the center of RPO sequential school-aged education programs, which are developed in partnership with the school leaders (teachers, administrators, parents), and other community stakeholders. The RPO stands as a major resource for area schools in addressing NY State educational standards for music.
Community Outreach
"The mission of the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra is to perform and present a broad range of quality music; attract, entertain and educate audiences with superior performances; maintain and build the Orchestra's national reputation; and enhance the reputation of the Rochester community as a place to live, work, play, visit and learn."
(Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra, Mission Statement)

Halloween 2010 is upon us and here at the Hero Complex we're marking the weekend with a special three-part excerpt from the "The Horror! The Horror!: Comic Books the Government Didn't Want You to Read!" which was edited by Jim Trombetta and features his commentary throughout (as well as an introduction by R.L. Stine). The 304-page book from Abrams ComicArts hits shelves Monday. There's a trailer for the book as well, below…
The success of horror comics in their heyday had nothing to do with politics, idealism, or the artistic avant-garde; it had to do with money. The worldview of the comics' stories and art worked for a lot of readers, especially kids, who were willing to spend their dimes on them.
Comics were a huge business in pre-TV times. Of the eighty million comics that were released each month in the United States and Canada during the early fifties, a quarter were horror comics. From about 1950 to 1955, they were so popular that fifty to one hundred horror titles (everything from American Comics "Group's Adventures" into the Unknown to Comic Media's "Weird Terror") were released monthly. Many readers are familiar with the masterful E.C. Comics line produced by William M. Gaines, if only through the TV show "Tales from the Crypt"; but as author Lawrence Watt-Evans has pointed out, E.C. only published 3 percent of the huge output of horror books that were available on the market.
Horror motifs became so popular and pervasive that they were even shoehorned into other comic book genres, like super hero, western, MAD–style parody, and even "funny animal." Not only did the most prestigious publishers rush to develop horror lines, but many local print shops did so as well—at the grassroots level, horror was like punk rock, complete with upraised middle finger. These comics were genuinely and brazenly subversive in a way that might not even be possible today. In an era that held its values dearly, no dearly held value survived exposure to the horror comic universe: not the "happy ending," not family, not science, and not the law. This world seems not merely meaningless in an existential sense—godlessness would be a relief—but also actively malicious. The cover of "Horrific" no. 2 (November 1952) depicts the human drama as a cheap puppet show in the hands of a mom-and-pop pair of literally brainless zombie gods.
As for sexuality, be it illicit or married and "mature," it doesn't thrive in the radiation of the horror world. In "Dungeon of Doom!" ("Chamber of Chills Magazine" no. 6, March 1952), illustrated by Vic Donahue, normal sexual feeling is poisoned by the annihilation of a woman in the subway and the transformation of a young beauty in haute couture into a hideous monster. However, the post-sixties "violence against women" rubric, which reduces the entire subject to male-on-female assaults, is not very helpful here. The horror comics are unprecedented in displaying the same amount of excessive violence toward men as they do toward women. A positive zest is taken in stripping males of their rescuer potential, their status, and their prerogatives; not just their maleness goes, but also their humanity. Children too are exposed to danger—so much so that when the plots of these comics were paraphrased, it animated an entire Senate committee hearing.
The curious kid reader is also let in on various unedifying "secrets" of grown-ups and their professions (which, in medieval times, were called "mysteries"). For instance, in one story morticians choose a "Miss Corpse" at their annual convention — and the overeager model learns, to her regret, that she really has to be a corpse. Probably the most famous E.C. Comics story of the time is a member of this subgenre. "Foul Play!" ("The Haunt of Fear" no. 19, May–June 1953) depicts what baseball players secretly do on those (hopefully rare) occasions when they catch a murderous teammate—play a game with the bad guy's body parts.
The great literary critic and theorist Northrop Frye might have had a thing or two to say about this game in his "Anatomy of Criticism." He would have noticed that the dismemberment of the murderous ballplayer is about one beat away from a type of human or divine sacrifice, imagined by human cultures to renew the fertility of nature and to rejuvenate time itself (baseball does start in the spring). At its darkest or most ironic, however, the ritual entails "the tearing apart of the sacrificial body, an image found in the myths of Osiris, Orpheus and Pentheus."
In the purest form of the sacrificial myth, the "dying and reviving god," who might be Osiris or Christ, is killed in an effort to save the world but then is resurrected, the dismembered made whole. In ritual reenactments of the myth (described at length, for instance, in Sir James G. Frazier's "Golden Bough"), human beings stand in for the sacrificed gods; the death of these carefully selected and usually consenting victims was real enough, but their resurrection was purely metaphoric. Eventually, the sacrificial ritual became abstract and symbolic (as in the Catholic Mass), and the myth became embedded in literature.
When the sacrifice occurs literally, however, in the arena of mundane life, it not only loses its sacredness, it manifests itself as a mechanically compulsive murder perpetrated by the likes of the Manson family. No redemption results, only a mess of severed limbs. As we shall see, cannibalism may be involved. The baseball game restores a rough moral order, but it slaps the raw archetype on the reader's plate. Nor is resurrection on the menu, though horror has its overliteral versions of that too. The important point is, of course, that not even the great American pastime was sacrosanct. Nor were the symbols of patriotism, as seen in the besmirching of the Stars and Stripes in a context of prison bars in the story "Susan and the Devil." As for religion, the horror comic particularly delights in taking that sacred cow in vain.
Many of the skilled and imaginative artists who worked on these books were certainly schooled in art history. They often employed neo-medieval allegories (one reason the covers are so "readable") and enjoyed introducing motifs like the pietà or the deposition of Christ's body from the cross into bizarre and even sacrilegious settings. On the cover of "Chilling Tales" no. 15 (April 1953), hideous ghouls depose a felon from the gallows; his eyes are open—could he still be alive? This confusion between life and death is a major theme of horror in the fifties.
The horror comic became a sort of cultural garbage can into which every unacceptable thought and impulse (including fetishistic porn that was not readily available elsewhere) could be chucked. Comics were hardly naive in this. The early fifties were also the golden age of classical Freudian analysis in America, and it shows in the comics. The "hidden persuader" techniques of advertising, so noted in the fifties, were also brought to bear in the comics. But even this is a world turned upside down: The point of the subtext or subliminal message was not to celebrate an idealized life or product, as in an advertisement, but to generate an atmosphere of the deepest dread. In Roman triumphs, a man in black rode in the hero's chariot and whispered in his ear, "Remember, you must die." In fifties America, the horror comics were that guy.

|If you're happy, you make your friends happier, and that makes their friends happier, according to new research published this week in the British Medical Journal. Using data from the wide-ranging Framingham Heart Study, researchers mapped the flow of happiness through social networks and found that happiness can spread up to three layers deep through a network -- while sadness was less likely to spread. We'll talk with one of the researchers behind the study.

As the weather tilts toward winter, the conversation soon will turn to the notion of "Bear Weather" and the supposed advantage it offers. As the story goes, if a team accustomed to warm weather or playing in a dome travels to Chicago in November or December, they will be so flustered by the cold that they will walk off the field before the game even starts.
That's the idea, anyway. The latest case study will be Sunday, when the temperature is expected to top out in the 40s when the Bears host Minnesota.

A person was found dead Wednesday morning following an apartment fire next to Appalachian State University.
The fire was reported around 4 a.m. at 526 Homespun Hills Road.
The person hasn't been identified, but officials said the person was not an ASU student, WCNC reported.
The building has four units, and heavy damage was found in at least two of them. The building is just off the southwest edge of the ASU campus.
A woman told WCNC she jumped from a bedroom window to escape the fire.

Five Star Equities Provides Stock Research on Bally Technologies and Glu Mobile
NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - Feb 12, 2013) - Shares of gaming stocks surged last week on the prospect of online gambling becoming legalized. Although New Jersey Governor Chris Christie vetoed a bill that would allow gambling over the internet in the state of New Jersey for the second time, he stated that if certain amendments were made he would allow a 10-year trial period. Five Star Equities examines the outlook for companies in the Gaming Industry and provides equity research on Bally Technologies Inc. (NYSE: BYI) and Glu Mobile Inc. (NASDAQ: GLUU).
Access to the full company reports can be found at:
One of the amendments required by Governor Christie would be raising the tax rate on revenues from 10 percent to 15 percent. If passed New Jersey would become the third state where online gambling is legalized, following Delaware and Nevada. Janney Capital Markets analyst Brian McGill estimates the New Jersey online gaming market could be worth up to $1 billion in three years.
"Now is the time for our state to move forward, again leading the way for the nation, by becoming one of the first states to permit Internet gaming," Christie wrote. "While Atlantic City's reputation and stature as one of the premier resort destinations on the East Coast are well-chronicled, it is no secret that revenue from the region's most important industries, gaming and tourism, has been in decline.

MASCOUTAH, Ill. -- A southwestern Illinois airport that has never turned a profit since opening with great fanfare 15 years ago continues to lose money.
The Belleville News-Democrat reports an audit shows the St. Clair County-owned MidAmerica St. Louis Airport last year suffered a $3.8 million loss. That's despite boosting revenue by $2.2 million from additional capital funding from the Federal Aviation Administration and the state.
The airport near Mascoutah got $5.6 million in county money to subsidize its operations. That brings to $28.7 million the county has funneled into the airport over the past five years.
J.W. Boyle & Co. auditors anticipate the county will continue to subsidize the airport "in the near future."
MidAmerica has struggled since opening in 1998, and critics persistently have labeled it a $330 million boondoggle.

"Punishment" is not in your cat's vocabulary. Positive reinforcement of good behavior -- with treats, attention and verbal praise -- solves most kitty behavioral problems.
We take smiles for granted, but the evolution of these and other facial expressions was a big deal for animals, including humans. Smiles and other expressions allow us to communicate our emotional state to others. Among primates, as social living became more important, the ability to quickly indicate fear, mating status, lack of threat and more helped our ancestors survive in the wild.
Humans, chimpanzees and other great apes even share expressions and other physical indicators of pride, which would appear to be a more abstract emotion. Azim Shariff, a researcher at the University of Oregon, studied facial expressions and found that chimps thrust out their chests, which increases testosterone production and lung capacity, showing others that they are ready to take challengers on. "We seem to share a number of similar expressions, including pride, with chimpanzees and other apes," says Shariff.
Since cats are mammals too, we share many things in common with them. Smiling, however, is not one of them. When a cat shows its teeth in a way that might look like it's grinning, it is probably grimacing, trying to pick up odors, or is angry and ready to use those teeth to bite into someone.
According to the Arizona Humane Society, when a cat is happy, it may exhibit these facial features:
Humans tend to rely a lot on facial expressions, but cats use their bodies to communicate how they feel. A happy cat will tend to hold its head and tail high, with its tail raised upward and fur lying flat on the body.

Diane from Calgary says: My kitten Bandit shows how happy she is by putting her tail straight up & then it shakes a bit, rubs herself on your legs, until you bend down to pet her. She's the kitten of our cat Smokey, even though she's going to be 7 in July I still call her the baby!
Code Charles says: It rises up when happy!
Pierre says: I had a female short-hair tabbby cat for 18 years given to me by my former landlord who found her near her cottage in upper NY state. The strange thing about her is that she never meowed. Did not like to be picked up; wary of strangers; never scratched furniture or carpets. Eventually developped thyroid problems but controlled with medication. Also developped kidney problems which took her away. Only cat I ever owned. I have her ashes which reminds me of one of the best periods of my life.

Our pilot program enabled us funding for 20 participants. But due to the overwhelming surprise number of applicants....and 2 of them coming from "teams" (or departments wanting to work as teams to tackle the idea of how to embed entrepreneurship at a higher level across the department and into multiple classrooms or in multiple ways at a time - which was COOL!), we accepted 23 participants into the program. 15 were working individually and the other eight were from 2 teams (The English Department and the Culinary Program). All in all, our pilot program touched 13 program areas across the campus. The other 11 programs included:
Accounting, Business (Management/Marketing), Arts, Photography, Human Relations, Psychology, Ethics, Science/Anatomy/Physiology/Genetics, Info Technology, History and Solar Energy.
What great new Champions we have waving the flag for entrepreneurship / intrapreneurship / innovation & creativity!
The first workshop theme was "Engaging Entrepreneurs". The basic premise was to introduce the attendees to:
1. MCC's existing ENTR program - (so not to duplicate efforts)
2. Identifying Entrepreneurial Characteristics (in general)
3. How to identify those characteristics in our students
4. How to create discussions and assignments that "talk" to entrepreneurs while still reaching their subject/discipline objectives.
A good starting place was for each to first understand who they are categorized by being an Entrepreneur, an Intrapreneur, an Innovator or Creative Thinker, or finally the Key Employee. This gave the opportunity to go over the differences which I represented with posters that were color coded. Each were then asked to blow up a balloon that represented "their color".....and let me say that the room became very colorful as balloons became tied together, were put one inside the other to represent an outer/inner shell. They were indeed very much into this exercise! Each placed their balloons on a wall throughout the room and stood in groups of now new found friends of similar mindset. This led us into introductions of whom everyone was and what we taught. Very enlightening first day's workshop!
The characteristics generated by table teams were each placed one on a post it note that were then shared with the class and placed on a "wall cloud". One could quickly see the unique traits brainstormed as well as the common traits that each group identified. I retained the post it notes of the individual words and my assistant so graciously entered them into the program at www.tagxedo.com and created a picture of a star of the words that we later inserted on the final graduating certificates (see attachment). The larger words means that these are characteristics that were duplicated by teams.
See pictures attached for this first workshop experience.
I've additionally attached:
1. Workshop #1 Introduction Email
2. Workshop #2 Faculty Participant Handout (with Agenda)
3. Graduating Certificate showing the "Star" designing of Entrepreneurial Traits created at www.tagxedo.com
I do hope that it helps you create your own similar "champion" program.
- thanks!

Gov.uk named THE BEST THING Britain has made all year
Website beats Raspberry Pi, The Shard, Olympics et al
It's a website with all the visual flair you would expect from something designed by "cool" Whitehall bureaucrats.
But even though it's something of a plain Jane, the government portal gov.uk has been named Design of the Year 2013 by the Design Museum in London. A suitable gong was handed to the website's team at a ceremony last night.
The portal - which brings car tax payments, passport renewals and other public services under one online roof - was selected as the best design from seven competing categories.
It saw off last year's dazzling Olympic opening ceremony's cauldron of fire and London's 1,016-ft skyscraper The Shard - neither of which won their respective categories. Ever-popular wallet-sized Brit PC the Raspberry Pi was also nominated but failed to receive a gong.
Gov.uk launched last year to replace DirectGov, a similar service, and was an ambitious attempt to unify more than 200 different government websites. Using the new portal, British citizens can get advice on joining the dole queue, starting a business, getting compensation and such things.
All 24 government departments will be on the site by the end of this month, although the NHS and local councils will be left with their own non-award-winning efforts. Switching government services online, part of Blighty's so-called "digital by default" policy, will be a blow to the 7 million Brits who are not on the internet.
Design Museum director Deyan Sudjic described gov.uk as the "Paul Smith" of websites [who he? - sub-ed].
Sudjic said: "It's a reflection of the government's understanding of how to communicate with the country in a way that works. It's simple, direct, well mannered - all the things that we would like to take for granted from the government, but in a sea of red tape and jargon, usually can't.
"Gov.uk looks elegant, and subtly British thanks to a revised version of a classic typeface, designed by Margaret Calvert back in the 1960s. The rest of the world is deeply impressed, and because it has rationalised multiple official websites, it saves the taxpayer millions, what's not to like?"
Fans of the site hailed the Government Digital Service, the team behind gov.uk, as the "coolest bunch of civil servants you are ever likely to meet". In a blog post, Mat Hunter of the UK Design Council added: "The design deemed best in show is something that many had given up all hope of reinventing: the UK government's approach to information technology.
"How many billions of pounds have been wasted in the government's procurement of unusable IT systems? You really don't want to know. So the fact that a team has finally found the formula of success, a formula that is better, faster and cheaper than most private sector companies' efforts, is something to be shouted from the rooftops."
Ben Terrett, head of design for the Government Digital Service, hoped the British example of good web design would be copied around the world, adding: "It was described to me as common sense at scale. The potential is massive."
Prime Minister David Cameron was also very excited that the website won an award. On the official Downing Street Twitter account, @number10gov, he took a break from playing Fruit Ninja to note: "I am delighted."
Designs that missed out include the LiquiGlide Ketchup Bottle, which aids the passage of tomato sauce from bottle to plate. ®
