MTSU's doctorate in Assessment, Learning, and School Improvement became a reality after more than forty years of working for a program that focuses on improving K-12 teaching and learning. This unique program is designed to meet a specific need to develop capabilities of existing school leaders, in formal and informal leadership roles. The program offers research-based knowledge, analytical skills, and practical application to enhance student learning, increase assessment scores, and improve schools. This is not a program you learn about now and do some day; in the ALSI program you will integrate your learning directly into your setting in a job-embedded professional development approach. Educators who want to make an immediate difference in the lives of K-12 students are attracted to the program and the opportunity to participate in projects that result in direct improvements. The cohort-based doctoral program provides a structured curriculum that takes into account that most students are employed during their studies. Participants benefit from the support and collegiality of their cohorts.
"The ALSI program has been transformative for me, both professionally and personally," says Lando Carter, a member of the first Assessment, Learning, and School Improvement cohort, graduating in August 2016. "This program is unique because the instructors purposefully fuse assessment, learning, and school improvement to help school leaders of all backgrounds become true change agents, ones who seek substantive and lasting change in their classrooms, schools, or districts." Carter, who teaches high school English in Rutherford County, says the cohort model creates a meaningful family atmosphere during the three years of coursework. "Now I'm watching the program work in my classroom and my school on a daily basis," says Carter, who built on an ALSI project to start a popular writing lab at Central Magnet School, modeled after MTSU's Writing Center. He says "the program works because I've been given the tools and the training to consistently move from theory to practice. I am indebted to the expert faculty not only for building such an innovative program but also for the guidance they provided during and after my time as an ALSI student."
Tracy Hollinger was in her fourth year as principal of Northeast Middle School when she decided she could balance the time, commitment, and work load of her demanding job and the stress of pursuing a doctorate. "I was leading others, but I was certainly feeling the need to challenge myself and grow in my own knowledge and skills as an instructional leader," she recalls. When she looked at doctoral programs, she discovered that MTSU had a new program in Assessment, Learning, and School Improvement. "Having received my bachelor's degree at MTSU, I knew firsthand the quality of the education programs. The ALSI program was exactly what I was looking for—designed from current research, focused on job-embedded application, and with a distinct focus on student learning and school improvement." Hollinger says the program impacted her daily work "in profound ways,' such as the utilization of new resources and processes for examining progress, needs, and strengths in developing a school improvement plan. "I highly recommend this program for those interested in expanding their knowledge and skills, examining current educational research, and exploring new ways to impact instruction and learning in all levels and roles," she concludes.
The Ed.D. in Assessment, Learning, and School Improvement is designed to meet a specific need to develop the capacity of existing pre-K–12 school leaders (including teacher-leaders) and those in education-related careers to significantly improve student academic achievement and to meet increased accountability mandates.
Program graduates may also find work in higher education, research, educational policy, governmental agencies, not-for-profit and philanthropic organizations, and professional development consulting, which will also contribute to improved student and school achievement. Because this degree program is new, employer information is still being compiled.
The College of Education began offering the Doctor of Education (Ed.D.) degree in Assessment, Learning, and School Improvement (ALSI) in 2013. Following are a few key points to help answer initial questions.
The program will take advantage of the latest technology to enhance the learning opportunities for all of the learners in the program. We will engage as a cohort of faculty and learners to model the development and growth of an authentic learning community. Completion of the degree requires successfully completing all courses as prescribed in the ALSI program course of study, conducting original research, and successfully completing a doctoral dissertation, among other graduation requirements.

The College of Education also offers a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Literacy Studies.
The Ed.D. in Assessment, Learning, and School Improvement is a cohort-based doctoral program capitalizing on faculty expertise in the College of Education. The program provides a structured curriculum with early development and ongoing support for students as they work to complete their doctoral dissertation. The Ed.D. in Assessment, Learning, and School Improvement is designed to
This degree will provide educational leaders with the knowledge and analytical skills to analyze all forms of student-learning data (formative and summative, quantitative and qualitative) in order to accurately identify areas of success as well as areas in need of specific attention to attain school improvement.
Applicants with a leadership role (including school administrator, teacher-leader, policy-maker, policy advisor, staff in philanthropic and not-for-profit agencies, higher education,and educational consulting) in PreK-12 education and a master's degree in a variety of disciplines are eligible for admission. Typically, successful students will hold formal qualifications related to some area of PreK-12 educational practice with three or more years of professional experience in their specializations.
Please see the undergraduate catalog for undergraduate program information.
Admission is limited and will be based on a holistic review of test scores, past academic success, and potential for success in a rigorous doctoral program whose objective is the development of individuals who can effect immediate school improvement and student learning achievement. The following are minimum requirements for admission to the Ed.D. in Assessment, Learning, and School Improvement (although meeting these criteria does not guaranteed admission to this selective program of study):
Applicants are expected to have a minimum grade point average (GPA) of 3.50 in master's coursework.

Locksmiths in Tuerong offer a highly demanded service, which generally relates to maintaining and installing the various types of lock systems, from the standard key locks to the complex electronic or biometric locks. The most common types of locksmith professions consist of the emergency, industrial, commercial, and residential, which each of the specific fields requiring different skills and abilities.
Residential work is likely to be the most common of the services provided by a residential locksmith. A domestic property owner looks at personal security and safety as a key reason when it comes to making sure a home is fully secured against a would-be intruder. A locksmith has gained the experience and knowledge to suggest the most effective locks for a properties doors and windows. Beyond the ability to install new locking systems, the locksmith is also able to repair or replace the locks on the older styled properties. Extra services offered by a local locksmiths offer security advice, a key cutting service, installing locks on a garage or similar outbuilding, and installing at-home safes or vaults.
How Do I Choose A Residential Locksmith in Tuerong?
It has been years now that you have been working like a donkey, multiple shifts a day, exhausting yourself to sleep every day, the only consolation being that you will probably manage enough to buy yourself a house soon. Working day in and day out, you finally save sufficient enough to make you the proud owner of a bungalow and a car to boast about. But at the end of the day, you end up doing a mistake people often make; that is, compromising on the quality of locks used or misplacing the only set of keys you had.
Now all the while that you have lost the only set of keys, your mind would be full of visions of how the most dangerous thief will catch hold of them and magically discover your house before you can reach back to safeguard it. Or even worse, while you stand outside keeping an eye, an armed group of dacoits might threaten you at gunpoint or shoot you at a point blank range. No!! Stop imagining. It would not ever reach that far. All you need to do is to call for a reliable locksmith service vendor.
Locksmith services are also en cashed upon in access control systems wherein a single key holds the entry to a multi door system, for example. Alarm systems are another region of application of locksmith services. Also intercom system safety can be ensured by asking for the help of professionals
Locksmiths - Commercial and Home Services
Many people are under the impression that the job of the locksmith is just confined to designing locks and breaking it open or making duplicate keys for us if we lose our originals. However, this image is totally wrong. It's true that the locksmiths perform these jobs, but apart from these, there are a lot of places where a locksmith can work or that demand the skills of locksmiths. Some of the places where a locksmith can have promising future are, locksmith shops, hardware and department store, large industrial plants, safe and lock manufactures and also for themselves. This article tells in details the type of opportunities available to a locksmith.
It's true that most of the locksmiths open up their own businesses and become self employed. They then offer services like re-keying the homes, acting as security consultants for home, changing the locks of the homes, keeping the security of the home up-to-date, helping you when you are locked out of your own car or home and along with this all, some locksmiths may also begin mobile services which will come to help you anytime you call them. Along with all that they offer 24 hours services seven days a week. Apart from choosing this option, the locksmiths can work in car dealerships. Car dealerships have to constantly change locks to ensure the car safety, so locksmiths can change these locks for them or design new and better locks for the cars increasing the security of the car and reducing the risk of theft.
Along with all this, some locksmiths work for companies who make safes. The locksmiths there are used to design the new locks and safe which are theft proof so that the goods stored inside the safe is properly protected. Moreover, they also repair the locks on the old safes or the new ones when a customer complains. They also change the locks or open the safe if the key has been lost by the person. They are also used by fire and police department to open the lock door of the home or office in a case of emergency or if police needs to break in a home without a mess and look around for some evidence. So it could be easily said that there are a lot of opportunities for the locksmiths and their job isn't dull at all.

Wiggy's Super Light FTRSS
-4 degrees and as comfortable as could be. When you are outside in the cold and you know that everything is going to be OK, that's how I would describe this bag! This is the kind of bag you just can't wait to get into. Very warm (after about 15 seconds, then it warms right up). At -4 degrees it does everything I expect it to do. I'm a warm sleeper and most of the time it's unzipped. Packs great and puffs right up when you are ready to sleep. The bag is perfect for what I do, very durable heavy… Full review
U.S. Military Modular Sleep System MSS
It comes in three to four parts, where you can sleep in one part, two parts, three parts or four. I have slept in it all together and I had to open it up sometime during the night because I had gotten too warm. Come to find out it had gotten below freezing that night. I have also slept in just one part, the temp was at around 100° to 110° that night. Although it was hot, I was comfortable. Compresses down to about the size of a basketball, although it could probably compress smaller. Three to… Full review
U.S. Military Modular Sleep System MSS
Great first sleeping system (with two pads). Horrible for backpacking. I recommend the MSS to all my Boy Scouts. A used MSS paired with two foam pads is BY FAR the best value in sleeping gear. Here's what I give all my new Scouts (and parents): A synthetic-fill sleeping bag and two dimpled foam pads are best for most Scouts. Both are cheaper, rugged, easier to wash, and handle wet/dirty conditions better. Both can be used with better and/or cold-weather gear you can buy later. Consider first the… Full review
Wiggy's Ultima Thule
For the price, this is a good bag, well-sewn and durable. It is roomy and comfortable and a pleasure to crawl into. I have an issue with my bag at temps under zero that I was surprised to find. The seam that is opposite the zipper side that runs from head to toe is very thin. Less than 1/4 inch of insulation can be felt along that seam. At 8 degrees below zero Fahrenheit, I experience a cold streak along this side of my bag. As mentioned above, overall for the price I am happy to keep and use this… Full review
Slumberjack Latitude -20°F
OK winter outer bag, as long as you know how to sleep and survive in cold weather. Too big for a standalone bag for me. I used this bag last winter in northern MN while leading dogsledding/skiing trips as an outer bag combined with an old 15 or 20 degree down inner (probably actually 20-25° now) and spent around 40 nights out in it, in temps ranging from -25°F to 30°F. Slept on two Therm-a-Rest RidgeRests under open tarps, in a mid, or in a doglsed. As others have noted, probably not wise to… Full review
Slumberjack Latitude -20°F
Bag lives up to its name. People who contest otherwise are not dressing appropriately (overdressing) and should find other activities than outdoor ones. This bag keeps you warm. Some writers have indicated that it is overrated. ALL bags are rated for ideal conditions and are thus overrated for some activities. ALL. Bag is comfortable, loft holds up well. NOTE: you cannot overdress and use a bag that is designed for this low of a temperature. The more you wear, the more you will actually sweat. Sweat… Full review

If you are crazy enough to winter camp in northern Minnesota (or most places in Canada for that matter) and want an affordable extreme cold-weather bag, this one should be high on your list. Look folks, -40 degrees is cold. I mean COLD. Few of us will ever get to experience it. I came close, though. During a week-long winter camping trip to the BWCA in northern Minnesota the night temps fell to -30°F, and probably a few degrees colder. Our group had two cotton tents, neither heated at night, and… Full review
Big Agnes Yellow Wall SL 0°
I spend most of the year in the hills and have used this bag exclusively for the last five. After owning and using a Big Agnes bag I will not use another brand. The product is well designed. The bag has been great. I have used it for five years, everywhere from Arizona to Oregon. It is the first Big Agnes bag that I have owned and now I will not use any other maker. Big Agnes equipment is built to be used and stand up to the demands of the outdoors. I am proud of all my Big Agnes gear. Full review
The North Face Dark Star -40
Warm. This is a warm bag. It was used on a 5-day trip to Ontario in temps that hovered in the upper negative teens F. When I did not roll off my pads, the bag kept me extremely warm. When not on the pads, it still kept me comfortably warm, but with a slight chill. Not at all uncomfortable. This bag is also quick to dry in the morning. These are the only positives in my opinion. The zipper is unbelievably difficult to pull closed the last 6 remaining inches. The draft tube comes loose easily… Full review

On several occasions, particularly on the periphery of the Habsburg Empire during the 17th and 18th centuries, dead people were suspected of being revenants or vampires, and consequently dug up and destroyed. Some contemporary authors named this phenomenon Magia Posthuma. This blog is dedicated to understanding what happened and why.

Waking the German Undead
The development of the literary vampire from John William Polidori's The Vampyre over Varney the Vampire and Carmilla to Bram Stoker's Dracula is well-known. This development highlights the vampire as an English language phenomenon, but this is, perhaps, due to lack of knowledge of the German language vampire fiction of the nineteenth century. According to Oliver Kotowski, this view probably stems from both Stefan Hock and Montague Summers, the latter claiming that 'in Germany sensational fiction was long largely influenced by Polidori', but it is a view that underestimates the number of vampire stories actually written during the nineteenth century.
Kotowski collects a dozen of these stories in his recent anthology Lasst die Toten ruhen: Deutsche Vampirgeschichten aus dem 19. Jahrhundert (Atlantis Verlag, 368 pages, paperback and hardcover at 14.90 € and 19.90 € respectively). Spanning the whole century, the stories are stylistically different, and Kotowski also includes two stories from parts of Eastern Europe that were available in German at the time.
Each story is accompanied by biographical and bibliographical information as well as an afterword on the story and its use of the vampire motif. At the end of the book is a short summary of tendences in the German vampire literature of the nineteenth century and a bibliography.

"Whoa… wow" was the first reaction of American actor Chris Pratt after seeing the Hindi version of his forthcoming Hollywood film Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.2 with music of Bappi Lahiri's popular song 'Jhoom jhoom jhoom baba'.
Disney India on Thursday released a promotional video of the Hollywood film with Hindi retro twist with 'Jhoom jhoom jhoom baba'. And in a special video — released on Friday — the actor is seen wondering whether the music can be added to the final cut of the film.
"Whoa… wow… I wonder if its too late to put that music in… instead of the music we've played… whoa… people are going to flip out," Chris said.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.2 is written and directed by James Gunn, and stars Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana and Dave Bautista. It also features the voices of actors like Vin Diesel and Bradley Cooper. It is releasing on May 5 in India, in English, Hindi, Tamil and Telugu.
With the backdrop 'Awesome Mixtape #2', the second part of the 2014 film Guardians of the Galaxy will take further the team's adventures as they traverse different cosmos to protect their world.

This time, the storyline will explore family values and also unravel many family truths and mysteries.
Recently in another interview he shared his story of being an outsider in the Hollywood industry. "A lot of guys become exactly the same. For me, it was really helpful to have this outsider perspective. People in LA often cast a Canadian, or someone from Australia, Britain or India or anywhere from the outside because they have a point of view that is different from the creators and the writers in LA."

There are two types of troubleshooting that you'll run into on the CCIE lab:
1. The "Proctor is Evil" Troubleshooting
2. The "Self-Induced" Troubleshooting
The latter type is by far the more time-consuming but also the most important. Basically you messed something up, therefore you have to fix it! (At least if you want the points) The reason it is the most time-consuming is because it could be ANY silly mistake or combination of silly mistakes along the way, and there is no predicting what kinds of things can be done to mess with your own head!
The most important rule with this kind of troubleshooting is time management. Set a time limit of 15 minutes. If you can't figure something out in 15 minutes (no, I don't care how "close" you think you are!) go do something else. Whether this involves a bathroom break, a soda/snack break, standing on your head on the high-quality lab chairs or simply moving on to another "service" or "security" task of your lab makes no difference. The idea is to separate your brain from staring at the same thing over and over.
The longer you stare at something, the more you see what you want and not what's really there. Most self-induced errors are really small, and fairly inane. You know. Those "DUH!" moments once we figure it out. But time management is the consequence we suffer due to silly mistakes. Avoid it!
Anyway… on to the more exciting things. The unpredictable nature of the "Proctor is Evil" Troubleshooting. Having started my training career specializing in the old CIT (Cisco Internetwork Troubleshooting) class, I can greatly appreciate some of the humorous things that MAY get thrown into lab exams. The question becomes, if I don't know what they are and there are many different things that could go wrong… What the heck do I do about it?!?!
Excellent question! Process, my dear. It's all about process.

We are always trying to keep up with the latest trends in our industry. Our patients appreciate that we are offering the best services possible, including CEREC technology. Now that we have the Sirona Galileos 3D Scanner and we can integrate it with our existing CEREC machine, it further shows our commitment to excellence."
The family dentist and his staff have been committed to providing excellent dental services to the Fort Collins community for over 25 years.
Dr. Missirlian, known as Dr. Art to his patients, also provides services to neighboring communities such as Loveland, Windsor, Greeley and Wellington. He has been a practicing dentist since the mid-1980s after graduating from Creighton University with a Doctorate of Dental Surgery in 1983.
"I could not have picked a better community to practice dentistry," Dr. Missirlian said. "I truly appreciate all the people I have met here in Fort Collins. I look forward to practicing and being your family dentist for many more years to come."
Those interested checking out the Sirona Galileos 3D Scanner, CEREC and the other services Dr. Missirlian and his staff offer should visit the dental office's website at www.fortcollinsdentalarts.com.

Why do DUI defense lawyers defend people accused of drinking and driving, after all, it's a terrible crime, people get hurt and sometimes worse? How can we possibly do this? Do we condone the use of alcohol and driving? Do we lack a conscious or compassion for our fellow man? The answer is, it is our conscious and compassion for our fellow man that drives us. What I condone is the applicability of the United States Constitution, for which many generations of men have fought and lost their lives. Thomas Paine once said, "It is the responsibility of the patriot to protect his country from its government." A review of the news around the globe reflects countless instances of government trampling on the rights of its citizens. The United States constitution is over 200 years old and has guided our laws, our citizens and our government effectively because we have always had a government and a Supreme Court willing to fight to uphold its tenets. However, increasingly there have been chinks in the armor of the Constitution in the name of expediency. Increasingly courts all over this country are eroding the Constitutional rights of citizens to be safe and secure in their "persons, papers and effects." (Fourth Amendment U.S. Constitution). If we blindly continue to allow these transgressions of the Constitution, if we turn a blind eye to these matters because it is convenient to prosecute cases, then tomorrow it will be a different erosion of your personal rights to privacy that were guaranteed to you as a citizen. Each time there is a transgression or an erosion of civil liberties in the name of convenience of prosecution, we bring ourselves one step closer to a society which our forefathers fought and died to extricate us from.
Did you know that if you were convicted of the worst crime possible, murder, that you have more rights and Constitutional protections than if you are charged with the misdemeanor of drinking and driving? That is, as soon as the murderer is taken into custody the first thing that happens is that he is read his Miranda rights; he is essentially advised to shut up and get a lawyer (albeit many people never heed this warning). Every step of the way thereafter, due process mandates that a suspect have a lawyer present to protect his legal rights, despite the fact he may have killed another human being and deprived that person of their rights.
Your government has the right and the ability under law to deny a citizen of their property, their liberty and their life. If a government agent, the police, charges a citizen with a crime, another government agent, the prosecution picks up the ball and prosecutes the citizen. Then a judge, another government employee, or a jury hears the evidence which is offered by the government. The government has an endless amount of resources, financial and otherwise to obtain evidence and to support its version of a case. The ONLY THING standing between the police, the prosecution and government, the only thing an accused has to rely on to protect him from losing his liberty, his property, or his life, is his defense attorney. His attorney is his key to bring to bare the case law, the statutes, and the facts in order to contradict the awesome power of the government. His criminal defense attorney is all he has to protect him from the system.
In any individual case the system may be correct, the defendant may have done what he is accused of doing and may therefore need to be punished (unless he is a friend of the President like Scooter Libby, in which case the rule of law does not matter and he will be set free). If this "system" is correct, then so be it, let the system prove its case to the satisfaction of a jury and punish the defendant accordingly. However, there are also countless times when the system is not correct; where the wrong defendant has been accused, where the crime has not been committed as charged. It is in these cases where the defense attorney is needed the most and in order for the defense attorney to be effective on the part of an innocent person, the attorney must also defend the guilty defendant. That is, both defendants, those actually guilty of the crime and those innocent of the crime have the absolute right to and a need for a defense. Both defendants have the right to an even playing field under the Constitution because if a defendant is in fact guilty, the State should be able to prove its case beyond a reasonable right, right?
Regarding DUI cases, no such luck. When you are stopped by the police for suspicion of DUI and you are not free to leave, the courts have determined you are not arrested; and since you are not arrested, your rights do not apply. That means the cops can ask you all kinds of questions and encourage you to incriminate yourself without the benefit of any advice or warning. Then they ask you to do field sobriety tests. The Maryland appellate Court in the Blasi case determined that field sobriety tests do impact your fourth amendment rights, but despite that finding, you still do not need to be Mirandized, they do not need a warrant, and you do not get any advice of rights at all. If they did advise you, they would tell you that you are under no obligation to perform any such field sobriety tests and there is no punishment for your responsible decision not to perform same.
Then you get arrested. Now that you are arrested the Miranda rights apply because you are in custody. However, many times they are not read to you because that would increase your suspicion of the process and may cause you to invoke your right to a lawyer which is a right they will never tell you that you have. So you are taken to the police station, you are read certain administrative rights that you have and you are asked to blow in the machine. At no time will you be told that you have a right to speak with a lawyer before making the decision to blow, but you do have such a right or so said the Maryland Court in Brosin and Sites.
So what is the point of all of this? The point is as a citizen in this country you have rights; important rights that people have fought hard to protect. Everybody gets the benefit of those rights whether you are a simple murderer or a heinous DUI suspect. The Constitution says it does not matter what you're charged with, you are protected. The government however, with the benefit of MADD applying significant pressure says it does matter. DUI suspects have fewer rights. DUI defense attorneys say it should not matter and we are here to protect your rights the best that we can on an increasingly unlevel playing field.

The past month has been one of the smokiest in Oregon history, but in terms of how much Oregon forest has burned, 2017 is far from being the state's worst fire season.
So far this year, "large fires" — more than 100 acres of timber or more than 300 acres of grassland — have burned just over 640,000 acres across the state, according to figures collected by the Northwest Interagency Coordination Center, a Portland-based group that coordinates wildfire incidents for 11 firefighting agencies in Oregon and Washington.
The number is likely to continue climbing. Many fires still burning will consume more acreage before they are extinguished, but in some cases, acreage estimates are downgraded as firefighters get a handle on the fire and the extent of the damage can be more accurately mapped.
In 2014, nearly 1 million acres burned in Oregon, including the 6,908-acre Two Bulls Fire just west of Bend, and the nearly 400,000-acre Buzzard Complex range fire in the state's southeast corner.
In 2012, another massive range fire in southeast Oregon, the Long Draw Fire, torched 558,000 acres, helping boost the total acreage burned in the state to a 1.3 million acres.
There have been slow fire years in the recent past as well. In 2009 and 2010, the total acres burned across the state remained below 100,000.
Because wildfires most often burn well away from populated areas, and because most people seldom think in terms of tens or hundreds of thousands of acres, it can be difficult to grasp how large any given fire really is.
One square mile is the equivalent of 640 acres. Smith Rock State Park, at 641 acres, provides a familiar measure of how large a 1-square-mile fire is.
Redmond's city limits encircle 16.8 square miles, or 10,752 acres. Sunriver covers approximately 3,300 acres, while the in-bounds skiable area at Mt. Bachelor totals 4,318 acres.
At 33.3 square miles, or 21,312 acres, the city of Bend is about two Smith Rock State Parks shy of the area burned this summer by the Milli Fire west of Sisters.
Taken all together, the nearly 700,000 acres burned in Oregon this year would cover just more than one-third of Deschutes County's 1,955,000 acres, or just about 1 percent of the total land area in the state.
Oregon's biggest fire this year, the Chetco Bar Fire near Brookings, has burned almost 180,000 acres so far, the equivalent of almost nine Bends. The Eagle Creek Fire in the Columbia River Gorge has burned an equivalent of roughly three Redmonds.
Carol Connolly, public information officer with the Northwest Interagency Coordination Center, said acres burned is one of many ways to measure the severity of a fire season.
Connolly said there's a lot of random chance in how many acres burn each fire season. Lightning and where it strikes is the biggest factor, she said. Due to a return to more typical weather patterns, this summer has been the first fire season in about five years with more lightning-caused fires than human-caused fires, she said.
Often, it's one or two huge fires that drive the acreage totals in any given year, frequently fast-moving fires in grassy rangeland on the eastern side of the state.
Past wildfires have been considerably more massive than anything Oregon has seen so far in 2017.
The Biscuit Fire of 2002 burned almost 500,000 acres in Southern Oregon and Northern California, the biggest forest fire in the state's recent past. The biggest fire in state history, the Silverton Fire of 1865, burned an estimated 990,000 acres southeast of Salem.
The region's largest-ever fire, the "Big Burn" of 1910, blackened more than 3 million acres across Washington, Idaho and Montana, but even that is small compared to the biggest fires on record — a series of wildfires on the Indonesian islands of Sumatra and Borneo in 1997 and 1998 burned an estimated 24 million acres, an area more than one-third the size of Oregon.

FRESNO, Calif. --After more than 70 years a historic business has officially closed its bridal shop at the Fulton Mall.
Luftenburg's has decided to move the owners say they need more opportunity. The store is relocating to the Blackstone and Shaw area, where the owners of Luftenburg's say the parking will be easier and clients will have better access. Luftenburg's is one of the last businesses to leave the Fulton Mall and the owners say it was a difficult decision but one they felt they had to make.
"It's kind of sad, it's been here for so long, you hate to see it go, but you have to go to where the business is and it's not downtown," Delores Sulenta with Luftenburg's said.
Sulenta hopes the new store in Northwest Fresno will be up and running by next week.

The lunch special is cheap and plentiful with most items being und $10, but we weren't even offered beverages after we sat down. The busser brought water, but the waitress never asked if we wanted anything else. The silverware roll ups were missing at 2 of the places at our 4-top, and even when the food arrived, she didn't notice...
I love Surin's' three great locations and you can't go wrong at any one of these. Although my favorites, in order, are the 280, 5 points and lastly Crestline. Great menu with wonderful sushi and awesome Thai noodles and duck.

U-46, education assistants reach deal
Transportation union talks continue
Education assistants in Elgin Area School District U-46 and the district school board have reached an agreement on a four-year contract, while the district's transportation union is headed back to the negotiating table to iron out a few language issues in a tentative agreement.
The school board on Monday approved the 2011-2015 contract with the District U-46 Education Assistants union, DUEA, which includes 400 paraprofessionals in general education, special education, English Language Learners, early childhood education, library paraprofessionals, sign language interpreters and bilingual administrative liaisons, formerly home-school liaisons.
District Chief of Staff Tony Sanders said the contract provides for additional professional development, modified health insurance and retirement benefits, modified language related to reductions in force and callbacks.
Under the new contract, the salary schedule has been eliminated. Sanders said the hourly rates will remain the same for existing employees, who will see a 46-cents-per-hour raise in the 2012-2013 school year and half of the Consumer Price Index for the remaining two years. Education assistants took a pay freeze in the 2011-2012 school year. Starting hourly rates for new employees were decreased.
The pay increase in the second year of the contract will cost the district about $160,000.
In addition, changes were made to health care benefits. Current members are grandfathered in, but new employees who work less than 30 hours are ineligible for health benefits, Sanders said.
DUEA President Karen Westerman said the two sides engaged in bargaining for 17 months, starting in April 2011.
"Insurance and compensation are big issues in all unions," Westerman said.
Meanwhile, the District U-46 Transportation Union will return to the negotiating table to iron out remaining language issues in a tentative agreement.
"We have a tentative agreement on most of the things that we have worked on," Moseman said. "There is some disagreement on wording that we need to work out. Hopefully the federal mediator will help us come to that agreement again."
In a memo last week to union members, transportation union leaders said existing issues already agreed upon will not be changed.
Those items include hours of work, extra work assignments, retirement incentives, and health and life insurance benefits.
The transportation union leadership will meet with members at 5:30 p.m. Thursday at Elgin High School.

There is still disappointment for Knicks center Tyson Chandler that the Mavericks — who won the 2011 NBA championship — did not have a chance to repeat as players, including himself, landed across the basketball landscape.
But Chandler doesn't see himself out of the title chase. These Knicks remind him of those Mavs.
"It was an unfortunate thing because we won a championship together and never got a chance after that. They broke up the team. But at the end of the day I'm in a great place and I like my chances here," Chandler said after his usual terrific defense, 11 points and nine rebounds — five offensive — were huge in the Knicks moving to 4-0 with a 104-94 victory over Dallas last night at the Garden. "It definitely reminds me of the chemistry and the personalities."
And Chandler isn't the only one who likes the Knicks chances.
"They are one of a handful of teams that has a chance to come out of the East," said Dallas coach Rick Carlisle. "He [Chandler] is one of the reasons they're a contender."
Chandler was at his aggravating best in the fourth quarter. The Knicks, who at halftime experienced what trailing feels like after a quarter for the first and only time in four games, were still slugging it out with the Mavs. So Chandler served as the conductor when they pulled away.
With the score 88-82 early in the fourth, Chandler grabbed an offensive rebound. And scored. Dallas, though, responded — twice in fact — and stood within four points when Carmelo Anthony misfired. Chandler tipped and missed but then controlled the tap to Raymond Felton who found Anthony in the corner for a 3-pointer and a 93-86 Knicks lead. And after the Chandler-led defense recorded another stop, the reigning Defensive Player of the Year came up huge offensively.
Anthony missed, Chandler rebounded, Chandler scored, Chandler was fouled, Chandler whooped it up at 6:08. One free throw later and the Knicks were up 10, their eventual margin of victory in their 10-point triumph.
"I just wanted to give my guys some energy. We were a little flat-footed," said Chandler, who seemed to direct his enthusiasm at the Mavs bench. "I don't know what I was doing. Somewhere in that area I heard a few familiar voices."
But the energy spilled over.
"It's always nice when you have a guy like Tyson who can clean up," said Jason Kidd, also part of those 2011 Mavs champs. "Those are the hardest plays to guard and he did that. [Dallas] had some great looks at the basket and Tyson cleaned them up. When you have that, it kind of deflates the defense because they felt, 'Hey, we got a stop but just couldn't finish the play.' "
Consider the Knicks energized, the Mavs deflated.
"When he's healthy, he's a difference maker," Carlisle said. "He was huge for us in the one year we had him and he's really turned this franchise around with his enthusiasm, exuberance, not to mention his abilities on the court."

No. 1-seed West Liberty breaks away from Fairmont State for 100-77 blowout
Two-time defending Atlantic Region champion West Liberty (32-1) shot 68 percent from the floor in the second half to earn its fourth consecutive trip to the Atlantic Region championship game with a 100-77 blowout win against No. 4-seed Fairmont State (23-9).
The Falcons never led but kept things close for most of the first half only to see Coach Jim Crutchfield's Hilltoppers score 15 of the final 18 points to take a 42-27 halftime lead.
West Liberty picked up where it left off when play resumed and pushed the lead out to 72-51 on a Shawn Dyer free throw at 9:57 before Fairmont State responded with a final surge.
The Falcons, WVIAC regular-season and tournament runner-ups, took off on a 15-4 run during the next two minutes with Stevie Browning's 3-pointer at the 7:47 mark, cutting the lead to 76-66 and bringing the Fairmont State fans to their feet.
The Black and Gold let the air out of that rally with a 16-1 burst over the next three minutes. Chris Morrow's fast break layup on a feed from Atlantic Region Player of the Year Alex Falk gave WLU its largest lead of the night at 92-67 and put the game out of reach with 4:30 to go.
Falk's game-high 21 points paced a balanced attack for the Hilltoppers. Morrow finished with 17 points despite sitting out much of the first half with foul problems while C.J. Hester just missed a double-double with 15 points and 9 rebounds. Tim Hausfeld added 13 points, Dyer finished with a dozen and Cedric Harris knocked down 8 points and handed out a game-high 7 assists.
Malik Stith had 18 points while Brendan Cooper added 14 points and a game-high 10 rebounds for Fairmont State, which suffered its fourth loss of the season in as many tries against West Liberty.

Oct 13 (Reuters) - Shares of U.S. steelmakers jumped in premarket trading on Friday after Japan's Kobe Steel Ltd said the firm's data cheating may have spread beyond the country to affect about 500 companies, sparking global supply chain concerns.
Shares of AK Steel Holding Corp, U.S. Steel Corp , Nucor Corp, Steel Dynamics Inc were up 2 percent to 5 percent in premarket trading.
"The Kobe Steel crisis is definitely helping other steel producers," Wunderlich Securities chief market strategist Art Hogan said.
The scale of the misconduct at Japan's third-largest steelmaker weakened its shares by 9 percent, wiping about $1.8 billion off its market value this week.
The firm's chief executive Hiroya Kawasaki was ordered by the government to report on how the misconduct occurred and address safety concerns. (Reporting by Arunima Banerjee and Tanya Agrawal in Bengaluru; Editing by Arun Koyyur)

qOn the Cattaraugus reservation, it was part of a child's initial training to learn why the bear lost its tail, why the chipmunk has a striped back, and why meteors flash in the sky, q writes Arthur C. Parker at the beginning of Seneca Myths and Folk Tales. His blood ties to the Senecas and early familiarity with their culture led to a distinguished career as an archaeologist and to the publication in 1923 of this pioneeering work. Parker recreates the milieu in which the Seneca legends and folktales were told and discusses their basic themes and components before going on to relate more than seventy of them that he heard as a boy. Here is the magical Senecan world populated by unseen good and evil spirits, ghosts, and beings capable of transformation. Included are creation myths; folktales involving contests between mortal youths and assorted powers; tales of love and marriage; and stories about cannibals, talking animals, pygmies, giants, monsters, vampires, and witches.The plot of this myth-tale has elements that make it excellent material for the fiction writer who would recast it entirely and ...

Many expect the dangers of the New York streets to stay on the street. Unfortunately, all too often out of control drivers kill or injure innocent pedestrians when their recklessness brings the carnage onto New York City sidewalks. Just last week (November 11th) two unsuspecting pedestrians were killed on Queens Boulevard (near Broadway) when a 23-year old driving a 2014 Chevrolet Camaro at a high rate of speed jumped the curb and careened into a crowd of New Yorkers. The car, which boasts a 7 liter engine and 505 horsepower, became a fast-moving 3,700 pound unstoppable missile.
Fall From Heights Claims Life of New York Construction Worker
A 56-year old construction worker was killed by a fall from heights in New York City on the morning of November 15 of this year. Jaime Sillart, a native of New Jersey, was part of a crew refreshing the facade of NYU's Languages and Literature Building at 19 University Place. Though the cause of the fall is unclear as yet, it appears the man fell six stories from scaffolding at the jobsite onto the roof of an adjacent building. Sillart was rushed to Bellevue hospital in critical condition but he had already suffered fatal injuries in the fall. He succumbed to his wounds just a few hours later.
Slip and Fall Accidents in New York Increase Dramatically During Winter Months
Slip and fall accidents, in New York City, are the number one non-vehicular cause of accidental injury. Indeed, data shows that one of the most dangerous compounding elements of any slip and fall accident is the presence of ice and/or snow.
Manhattan Truck Accident Claims the Life of NYPD Traffic Agent
A 71-year old NYPD traffic agent was killed late last month in a commercial vehicle accident in Manhattan. Kalyanarat Ranasinghe was on the job when he was hit by a large truck as it pulled out of a parking spot in midtown Manhattan and fell to the ground. The vehicle then drove over the agent, pinning him under the wheel. The truck was then struck by a bus as it passed by. Both the driver of the truck and that of the bus stayed on scene until authorities arrived.
More New York City Construction Workers Killed by Falls than Any Other Hazard
New York City construction workers are at risk every day for the number one jobsite killer: falls from heights. Rooftops, scaffolding, elevated platforms, open windows, and unguarded stairwells or elevator shafts all represent very real hazards in the workplace. OSHA statistics show that more New York City construction workers are killed by falls from heights than any other job-related accident.
Family of Man Who Collapsed During Police Raid Files Lawsuit
The NYPD has come under a lot of attention from media outlets recently for a variety of different incidents. One of the most shocking is the death of Carlos Alcis. The 43-year old father of 8 collapsed during a police raid of his Brooklyn home and died after suffering a heart attack. The shocking part is that the NYPD had the wrong apartment. Police were reportedly looking for a robbery suspect when they barged into Alcis's home in the middle of the night. His family, in documents pertaining to their New York City wrongful death lawsuit, is arguing that the shock and stress of the police raid aggravated his existing heart condition and caused the fatal heart attack.
Woman Files False Arrest Lawsuit After Serving Time Twice
The NYPD is there to serve and protect but sometimes they get things wrong. Like in the case of Raven Moses, a 30-year old woman from the Bronx who was the victim of a hit and run accident but somehow ended up spending three days in jail years after she had already served time for the same minor crime committed in 2009. The NYPD has some explaining to do on this one and is now facing a $3 million false arrest lawsuit because of what appears to be some sort of computer glitch or clerical error.
Playground Injuries: The Hidden Danger
Every year in the United States playground accidents account for over 200,000 injuries involving children 14-years old or younger. And while any parent knows that a rambunctious child can suffer their fair share of scrapes and bruises, many of these playground injuries were severe enough to warrant trips to the ER. Indeed, some of the most common injuries suffered by these children are broken bones which take weeks and months to heal properly.

The games just keep on coming for St Patrick's Athletic who travel to the RSC to face Waterford Utd on Friday night, kick off 7.45pm, in the 4th round of the FAI Ford Cup.
Pete Mahon's side have had a busy time of it recently but come into the game in good form with a win and a draw in their last two games. They will however have to face Waterford without a number of key players.
Sean O'Connor, Shane Guthrie and John O'Connor are all cup tied having played for Limerick, Dundalk and Crumlin United in previous rounds while Derek Doyle (calf), Danny North (ribs) and David McMillan (hamstring) all have doubts over their fitness ahead of the game.
Despite the busy schedule of Pete Mahon is very much looking forward to the cup tie. "It has been quite a while since the victory against Crumlin United in the last round and we are relishing this cup tie on Friday."
"We are expecting a tough match against Waterford, whom I've seen play a couple of times already this season."
"They are a strong physical side who will be there or there about come in the end of the league season and with the strong local support behind them it will make for an interesting match."
"We know what the competition means to this Club and it's supporters. It is now 50 years since the last (FAI Cup) success and the Club has this monkey on it's back regarding the Cup, which has to come to and end at some stage. "
"I believe that each year somebody's name is on the Cup and they are going to win it. Over the past couple of seasons there haven't been many surprises in the competition, and we will have to guard ourselves from a possible surprise this Friday."
Waterford like St Pat's have a number of injury concerns ahead of the game. Adam McSherry and Conor Sinnott are out while Michael Coady and Willie John Kiely are major doubts.
Unlike their opponents Waterford have had a tough time in the league as of late. They lost their last game 3-1 to Monaghan and manager Paul O'Brien is hoping a good cup run will provide a welcome distraction from the league.
"We are really looking forward to the game because it will be a release from our league games which have been tough lately.
"We are looking forward to playing a Premier league team at the RSC. To date this season we have played very well against the top teams in our division like Cork City and Shelbourne, and St Pat's have been one of the top teams in the Premier since the outset."
"The lads will give it their very best shot and hopefully a big crowd will get behind us as we try and beat Pete Mahon's fine side."

Trying to eat healthily during the week I decided to make my own lunch for work. This is the second salad I made this week. You could somewhat call it a mediterranean lamb salad I guess? That's kind of where I got my inspiration and idea from. Originally I had wanted to get a packet of frozen falafels (which I had seem before somewhere) but after hunting through both Woolies and Franklins at Macquarie Centre during my lunch break I discovered that neither of them sold it. Utterly disappointed as I was very keen on putting falafels in my salad (inspired by Sumo Salad). Plan B was to get a few cans of chick peas and a packet of couscous as a substitution for the falafels. The other ingredients were all planned in my mind. Half a red capsicum left over from the previous day's pasta salad, half a carrot grated which was also left over. I also used half of a quarter of a pumpkin (steamed for health benefits), and a few handfulls of leafy salad mix. For my lamb fillets I marinaded them in olive oil, a pinch of salt, cajun spices, ground chilli and a pinch of paprika. I let the lamb sit while I prepared all the other ingredients. For the salad dressing I used a small tub of Greek Style yogurt and a handfull of finely chopped mint (fresh from the garden!) and mixed it all up. Ryan's verdict was that the flavours all worked well, however silly me forgetting about the fact that yogurt will break down the ingredients, I mixed it all up the night before resulting in a slightly mushy salad as the yogurt dressing had made the couscous become slightly mushy. It's ideal that you only put the dressing on just before eating. (Sometimes I wonder what makes me do such silly things, I blame the long day at work).
Mixed salad.
This is a photo of the leftovers from the pasta salad I made from the night before.
