This section discusses a characteristic class of isolated 'impact boulder fields' with unusual surface features. This section suggests a catastrophic origin for 'impact boulder fields', formed in small secondary impacts from material sloughed off from the primary comet impact which formed the 450 km diameter Nastapoka arc of lower Hudson Bay, 12.8 ± 0.15 ka. Secondary icy-body impacts are suggested to sometimes create impact boulder fields, with boulders having characteristic surface features, such as relatively-young and uniformly weathered surfaces, where some of the boulders will exhibit deep pits and striations scoured (sandblasted) by super-high-velocity extraterrestrial material.
Younger Dryas impact hypothesis:
Impact-related proxies, including microspherules, nanodiamonds, and iridium are distributed across
four continents at the Younger Dryas boundary (YDB). Archeological material, charcoal and megafaunal remains is associated with a black mat in 5 locations, with fewer correlations at many more sites across 4 continents. (Wittke et al. 2013)
"Most Younger Dryas (YD) age black layers or "black mats" are dark gray to black because of increased organic carbon (0.05–8%) compared with strata above and below (6, 7). Although these layers are not all alike, they all represent relatively moist conditions unlike immediately before or after their time of deposition as a result of higher water tables." (Haynes 2007)
"The spherules correlate with abundances of associated melt-glass, nanodiamonds,
carbon spherules, aciniform carbon, charcoal, and iridium" "across 4 continents".
(Wittke et al. 2013)
"Bayesian chronological modeling was applied to 354 dates from 23 stratigraphic sections in 12 countries on four continents to establish a modeled YDB age range for this event of 12,835–12,735 Cal B.P. at 95% probability. This range overlaps that of a peak in extraterrestrial platinum in the Greenland Ice Sheet and of the earliest age of the Younger Dryas climate episode in six proxy records, suggesting a causal connection between the YDB impact event and the Younger Dryas." (Kennett et al. 2015)
"The fact remains that the existence of mammoths, mastodons, horses, camels, dire wolves, American lions, short-faced bears, sloths, and tapirs terminated abruptly at the Allerød-Younger Dryas boundary." The Quaternary megafaunal extinction is sometimes attributed to the 'prehistoric overkill hypothesis', although "The megafaunal extinction and the Clovis-Folsom transition appear to have occurred in <100 years, perhaps much less". (Haynes 2007)
Many, most or perhaps all boulder fields worldwide of secondary impact origin may date to the 'YD impact', 12.8 ± 0.15 ka, which is suggested here to have formed the 450 km Nastapoka arc (impact basin) of lower Hudson Bay. But impact boulder fields and perhaps the associated Quaternary megafaunal extinction event itself may be mostly attributable to widely-disbursed secondary impacts from material sloughed off of the YD comet in its passage through Earth's atmosphere. So while our atmosphere may protect us from most cosmic rays and small meteoroids, it may greatly exacerbate the harm to lifeforms in large icy-body impacts, due to widely-disbursed secondary impacts from comet material sloughed off in Earth's atmosphere.
The vast 4 continent distribution of YD impact artifacts raises the question of whether fragmentation responsible for impact boulder fields et al. occurred in the atmosphere alone, or whether an earlier fragmentation occurred from a close encounter with one of the giant planets of the outer solar system.
Carolina bays:
The orientation of Carolina bays appear to point to two origins, lower Hudson Bay and Lake Michigan. (Firestone 2009) The orientation of elliptically-shaped Carolina bay appear to point back to two source locations, one in the lower Hudson Bay area (Nastapoka arc) and the second one pointing to circa Lake Michigan. Firestone et al. suggest the bays were formed by chunks of the Laurentide ice sheet, lofted into 100s to 1000s of kilometer trajectories by a dual impact (or airburst) on or over the ice sheet at those two locations. While dating the Carolina bays is difficult and controversial, the bays contain elevated levels of spherules common in the YD-impact black mat. Dual impacts on the ice sheet suggests that at least one chunk of the comet fragmentation was sufficiently sizable to loft sizable icebergs into trajectories of 100s of kilometers, but the Lake Michigan impact was apparently of insufficient size to create a Nastapoka arc counterpart.
Icy-body comet impacts are suggested here to form impact basins, whereas rocky-iron meteorites are known to form impact craters. Relatively-compressible ices are suggested to clamp the impact shock wave pressure below the melting point of silicates, largely precluding impact melt rock. PdV compression of ices may also clamp the shock wave pressure below the pressures necessary to form shatter cones, shocked quartz and high-pressure polymorphs like coesite, masking icy-body impact structures from identification as such. For instance, ices that undergo 10 times the dV compression of silicates will absorb 10 times the work energy from the impact shock wave, instantly soaring to 1000s of Kelvins which quickly melt embedded nebular dust and terrestrial sediments into molten microscopic silicate spherules. If ice compression lowers the impact power, then conservation of energy dictates that the impulse duration is commensurately extended. And a blunted but extended impact impulse may distort Earth's crust into basins (in large impacts) rather than excavating craters, as rocky-iron meteorites are known to do. So while rocky-iron impacts may act like the sharp blow of a ball peen hammer, forming distinctive impact craters with distinctive overturned target rock, icy-body impacts may act more like the dull thud of a dead blow hammer, depressing the ground into a spherical impact basins, like Nastapoka arc. And the sustained shock wave duration of icy-body impacts (during the compression and rebound decompression of compressible ices) may tend to clamp the target rock in place, largely preventing the signature overturned rock of crater rims and the central peak rebound of complex craters.
Secondary impact boulder fields:
A number of boulder fields in the Appalachians are attributed to the suggested exaggerated freeze and thaw cycle toward the end of the last glacial period, but this gradualism approach can not account for unusual surface features in suggested impact boulder fields, nor the ability of ability of 2 diabase (Ringing Rock) boulder fields to resonate or 'ring' when struck sharply.
Impact boulder fields concentrated by downhill debris flows require a degree of incline to concentrate the boulders and to drain the boulder field to prevent burial by sedimentation over the intervening millennia; however, catastrophic impact boulder fields should be capable of flow down a much shallower grade than 'talus-slope boulder fields' formed by more gradual processes. The shear-thinning properties of phyllosilicate slurries in catastrophic impacts may lubricate a downhill pyroclastic flow or debris flow, stacking boulders many boulders deep.
Eastern Pennsylvania is suggested to have at least 3 impact boulder fields, with two Ringing Rock boulder fields composed of diabase and the Hickory Run boulder field, in Hickory Run State Park, composed of sandstone/quartzite. The sandstone boulders that compose Blue Rocks boulder field (near Hawk Mountain, Berks County Park) are too eroded to show surface scouring, which may indicate softer boulders, and/or boulders older than End Pleistocene, so the Blue Rocks boulder field can not be positively attributed to an impact origin. Talus-slope boulder fields are common along the ridges of the Appalachians. In general, boulder fields in rugged terrain and particularly along mountaintop ridge lines should be dismissed as unlikely impact boulder fields, and in any case, distinctive surface surface-feature scouring is necessary to affirm an impact origin.
The suggested Lake Michigan impact extrapolated from Carolina bay orientations likely had the protection of perhaps as much as a kilometer of the Laurentide ice sheet, whereas the three suggested impact boulder fields in Pennsylvania were presumably below the Late Wisconsinan extent of the ice sheet (although Hickory Run State Park is mapped as covered by the last substage of the Wisconsinan Stage of the ice sheet on the USGS geologic map of Pennsylvania). Could an impact have flash melted a thin tip of ice sheet, lubricating the resulting debris flow that formed Hickory Run boulder field, explaining its well-rounded boulders from extensive tumbling? The approach direction of the comet, however, is somewhat problematic, since the terrain falls away to the northwest in Ringing Rocks Park, Bucks County PA, whereas the terrain rises to the northwest of the Hickory Run boulder field.
Scoured surface features:
Pockmark, striation and pot hole surface features on boulders in impact boulder fields are suggestive of sandblasting or water-jet cutting in an industrial setting. So while a massive impulse may be necessary to fracture the bedrock into boulders, exposure to high-velocity streams of material are necessary to create the observed scoured surface features.
Impact boulder field boulders will exhibit more or less rounding of corners from a greater or lesser degree of downhill debris flow tumbling from their impact origin. The boulders in Hickory Run boulder field are significantly more rounded than those in the two Ringing Rocks boulder fields, suggesting more abrasive tumbling over a greater distance by a larger mass of boulders. The 'terrain' feature of Google maps is not sufficiently sensitive to positively identify secondary impact locations, even for the large Hickory Run boulder field, so it's likely that impact fracturing by secondary impacts is only a few boulders deep at most. The size and width of 3 known impact boulder fields suggest an impact footprint on the order of 10s of meters across, as a working hypothesis. Similarly, secondary impacts on low ground may also be below the resolution of the terrain feature of Google maps. Even so, perfectly-round water-filled secondary-impact features on low ground should jump out on the satellite imagery of 'Google Earth', unless atmospheric fragmentation of sloughed off material typically distorts the impact footprint into non-circular shapes, and/or if secondary impacts on low ground on the order of 10s of meters will have filled in with sediment in the intervening 12,800 years.
Comet-spatter rock scale:
Additionally, the most erosion resistant of boulder-field boulders and stream cobbles may still retain secondary 'comet spatter–'on one side only–in the form of rock scale, although boulder field boulders may exhibit more than 180° coverage due to being briefly airborne at some point. Most apparent rock scale is actually lichen, particularly if the apparent rock scale has a rounded perimeter, and most comet spatter appears to be orange or brown, whereas lichen is often white or jet black. And lichen like comet spatter will typically appear on one side only of a rock or boulder, since the algae or cyanobacteria component of lichen requires sunlight for photosynthesis. A weathering rind is another look alike, and weathered diabase boulders often exhibit a yellow or orange weathering rind that may simulate comet spatter. Ideally a cobble or boulder with a maple-leaf-shaped deficit, or some other recognizable shape which acted as a comet spatter mask, will reveal itself to a persistent or fortuitous observer.
Shoe stone with comet spatter:
A greywacke 'shoe stone' shaped like a human slipper was found in the Susquehanna River in Millersburg, PA. Most of the shoe stone is natural, but the sole has evidence of human modification, evidently to make it into a more-perfect slipper shape. And the stone has raised brown nodules on 'one side only', suggesting the stone was Clovis to have been exposed on the day of the comet, and indeed a small amount of suggested comet spatter overlays the tooled surface of the sole.
Cup marks in cairns in the British Isles:
In addition to North American boulder fields, cup marks in boulders from cairns in the British Isles are also suggested to be of secondary impact origin, where the associated boulder fields were presumably long ago scavenged for building materials
Ringing Rocks impact boulder fields:
Pennsylvania has two Ringing Rock boulder fields, Ringing Rocks Park in Lower Black Eddy, PA and Ringing Rocks Park in Pottstown, PA 40.270647, -75.605616. 'Ringing Rocks' refers to the propensity of diabase boulders within the two Ringing Rocks boulder fields to resonate or 'ring' at a characteristic frequency when struck sharply with a hard object, whereas diabase boulders elsewhere do not ring. Apparently, the super-high-pressure impact shock wave stressed the surface of diabase boulders, like prestressed glass, imparting the ability to resonate when struck. Additionally, Ringing Rock boulders variably exhibit scoured surface features, with uniformly 'young' subconchoidal fractured surfaces that exhibit very-shallow surface decomposition (exfoliation), indicating a relatively-young age. For Southeastern Pennsylvania to have two Ringing Rock impact boulder fields composed of diabase boulders, suggests that a large number of other boulder fields are also of impact origin, since diabase forms only a very small fraction of the terrain in Southeastern Pennsylvania.

Population Explosion (Yeast Lab) (Day #2 of 3)
Lesson 2 of 16
Objective: Students will plan and conduct a laboratory investigation that tests the effect of an abiotic or biotic factor on the size of a population of yeast cells.
Big Idea: Populations are able to produce populations of infinite size, but the environment (and its resources) is finite.
Note: I recommend that you first check out this resource in order to get the most out of this lesson!
In high school I took several drafting classes and, for a while, I had hoped to become an architect. With respect to planning instruction and teaching, I feel that I can still live out the detailed approach to building something intricate and complex even though the product is a lesson rather than a certain "built environment."
This lesson-planning template is a comprehensive overview of how I approach lesson planning. It includes the "Big Three" aspects of the NGSS standards: Disciplinary Core Ideas, Crosscutting Concepts, and Science Practices. Of course, there are many other worthy learning goals, skills, instructional strategies, and assessments that can be integrated into a class session. I don't feel compelled to check every box but, rather, use it as a guide to consider various options and tailor the lesson in light of these.
With regard to this particular lesson, students will investigate the effect of a chosen environmental factor (e.g. temperature, percent glucose solution, etc.) on the population size of yeast. In doing so, students will begin to understand the relationship between organisms and their environment and ways to create a simple model of a complex system and devise a method for measuring population changes therein.
I hope you get some value from my work!

This begins the second of three days of lab investigation. As such, I generally allow for a few minutes at the start of class to entertain questions that students might have about the lab procedure, the background concepts of the lab that they may still not understand, or a quick survey of each team to determine their chosen manipulated (independent) variable and the reason(s) that they chose it. Then, its off to count bubbles!
Teacher note: Use this PPT as a guideline to lead students through these phases of the lab: background context, experimental design, and execution. As you discuss each slide of the PPT, have the students complete their lab handout.
1. DAY #2 Activities: This class period is designated as a set-up day with student teams implementing the plan that was made (and approved by the instructor) the previous day. The activities in this class period are very fluid. I will not let student teams proceed to the set-up phase until I have checked their entire design (see Lab Writeup Guidelines and student template).
It is quite common for student teams to have to revise some aspect (whether minor or major) before they proceed to setting up the experiment. This achieves three things:
1) It alerts them that I have exacting standards that are clearly outlined in the support document and they must follow those guidelines
2) it helps me to identify common areas of misunderstanding and, where appropriate, I can use this information to re-teach content or process details to the class as a whole
3) it reinforces that revision of student work (based on specific feedback that is linked to given standards) is a hallmark feature of the spirit my class and learning in general
Resources (3)
Resources (3)
Now that the implementation of the lab is underway I use this closing segment to ensure several things:
1. Labels have been properly applied to all test tubes with the following information: lab team number, period number, the variable that is being tested (AKA MV) and date.
2. Have all lab supplies and student work areas been put away and properly cleaned? It is important to reinforce that as citizens of the learning community, all members have a duty to take care of their responsibilities. Their mother does not live in my class nor is it her duty anyway! ;)

Dr. von Gersdorff is recipient of a Humboldt Research Award
Henrique von Gersdorff, Ph.D., a senior scientist in the Vollum Institute, has been elected the recipient of a Humboldt Research Award after having been nominated for this award by Prof. Dr. Tobias Moser (University of Göttingen) and Prof. Dr. Erwin Neher (Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry, Göttingen, Germany).
This award is conferred in recognition of lifetime achievements in research. In addition, Dr. von Gersdorff has been invited to carry out research projects of his own choice in cooperation with specialist colleagues in Germany, thereby promoting international scientific cooperation.
Dr. von Gersdorff's research is focused on how synapses encode and process sensory information in the microcircuits of the retina, cochlea, and brainstem. Visual and auditory signals are transmitted from our eyes and ears to the central nervous system at high rates with exquisite precision and fidelity. Accordingly, the first synapses that transmit light and sound signals have specialized active zones for high throughput neurotransmitter release called synaptic ribbons. Dr. von Gersdorff's lab has studied the properties of these specialized synapses using electrophysiological and imaging techniques in different vertebrate species. In addition, the lab studies large synapses in the mammalian auditory brainstem that express conventional active zones of release and fire impulses at high frequencies.

NEW BRUNSWICK — Middlesex County Clerk Elaine M. Flynn announced last week that the county has entered into a shared services agreement with Monmouth County that will enable subscribers to file and track deeds and titles electronically.
The E-filing system, which will be hosted by Monmouth County as part of the agreement, will enable subscribers, such as banks, law firms, mortgage lenders and title companies, to send, receive and track their records and real estate filings through an Internet portal. There are no additional fees for filing electronically.
Flynn said the Clerk's Office is implementing E-Filing to better serve Middlesex County businesses. "The E-filing system makes filing and tracking land records fast and convenient. Subscribers can conduct business and communicate with us without leaving their offices."
Flynn added the new system will bring greater efficiency to her office and cut costs: "Electronic filing cuts down on the voluminous amount of paper needed during a traditional filing, saving the county and our taxpayers money. It also will bring more efficiency to the process, since staff will not have to input each individual filing. They can now concentrate their efforts on verifying, processing and approving the filing, which means a quicker turn-around time."
At its Oct. 21 meeting, the Board of Chosen Freeholders authorized the shared services agreement with Monmouth County. Middlesex is partnering with the Monmouth County Clerk's Office, ACS Servicing Company and Sunrise Systems for the implementation of the Shared Services E-filing system, which is based on regulations from the State of New Jersey Division of Archives and Records Management (DARM) and standards from the Property Records Industry Association (PRIA).
It is anticipated that the new system will be fully operational in six months.
"As a county government, we are consistently seeking out shared services arrangements that make good business sense and work to benefit our residents," said Freeholder Director Christopher D. Rafano. "Like our previous partnerships with Monmouth County, this arrangement meets both criteria and helps us help our residents," Rafano said, referring to the counties' shared services agreements for youth detention and medical examiner services.
The electronic-filing system offers independence for Middlesex County businesses with no new costs; the only expense to subscribers is the original per-page fee. Ultimately, the new electronic-filing system will replace the time-consuming and postage-accumulating method of land mail. Businesses interested in E-filing can apply through the Clerk's Office.
"Filing electronically is the next initiative in my mission to improve and modernize the services of the Middlesex County Clerk's Office," Flynn said. "I am proud to introduce E-filing to Middlesex County because it offers more efficient communication for larger businesses. We will also continue to accept requests through the mail for our more traditional businesses."
The Middlesex County Clerk's Office will hold an informational seminar for all interested businesses at the County Administration Building in the near future.
For more information on e-filing, call the Middlesex County Clerk's Office at 1-732-745-4120.

The game of pogs originated in the 1920s on the Hawaiian island of Maui. There dairy workers played the game during breaks using simple milkcaps. Almost 70 years later, a Hawaiian schoolteacher reintroduced the game and mass appeal soon followed.
Pogs, (an acronym for a popular Hawaiian drink made from Passion fruit, Oranges and Guava juices) is played with disc-like object which have pictures on its face side. Each player would take an equal number of pogs and would stack at least four pogs one on top of another with the faces down. One of the players would then take a different-sized disc (called a slammer) and would strike a stack of the pogs with it. Whichever pogs landed faceup would be retained by that player. After each player had taken their turn(s), the one with the most pogs was the winner.
The pogs came in many colors and styles with various emblems, symbols or pictures on their faces. Originally, the game gained popularity through word of mouth but as it reached the mainland of the United States, its popularity went through the roof. With a low price tag and multiplicity of styles and colors, the pogs became a very popular collectors item which children traded back and forth. By 1995, the game had reached the pinnacle of its popularity. While this put smiles on the faces of children, not everyone was happy with the fad. Some school systems banned the discs because of dangers with throwing the slammer and because of overly aggressive play by some of the children.
Pogs, like the frisbee, show that sometimes workers in their spare time can find the most interesting use for the most ordinary of objects.

I'm basically writing up this story because I miss talking about Eddie Redmayne, whom I find adorable. Eddie has been dating his lady Hannah Bagshawe for several years. She's a publicist, and I'm pretty sure she's his publicist, at least in England (he might have different representation in America). Well, Eddie and Hannah got engaged over the Memorial Day weekend.
It's official! Les Miserables actor Eddie Redmayne is engaged to his girlfriend of over two years, Hannah Bagshawe, his rep confirms to Us Weekly. The 32-year-old British hunk popped the question to his lady love over Memorial Day Weekend while on vacation together.
"He had been planning on it for awhile," a source tells Us. "They have a very relaxed and supportive relationship … they seemed to have always known they were going to spend the rest of their lives together."
The Jupiter Ascending actor had been planning to propose for quite some time, a second source says. "He asked her father's permission — the whole deal."
The duo, who first stepped out in 2012 and live in London together, "remained strong" while Redmayne's career took off the past couple of years, the second source adds. "He's remained completely levelheaded through everything," the first source tells Us of the actor who has worked with Anne Hathaway and Michelle Williams.
No word yet on exactly when the pair will tie the knot, but Bagshawe is already considered part of Redmayne's family. The second source adds Bagshawe "has been basically a part of the family for years now."
Eddie went to Eton with Prince William, so he's pretty posh. But unlike so many of the 30-something British actors currently storming stage and screen these days, Eddie does seem pretty down-to-earth, and I like when young heartthrob-types end up with non-famous women. Plus, he's color-blind and he's said in several interviews that Hannah helps pick out his clothes so that he doesn't clash. Which is great because Eddie is actually one of the best-dressed men these days. Congrats, Eddie and Hannah!

All of the victims have one thing in common: they didn't know they were being scammed.
Investigators say the man loves to visit busy restaurants but not to eat. Upper Merion Police say he is a crook called a quick-change scammer.
Detective Andrew Rathfon says his goal is: "He tries confusing the cashier into giving him more change than he is owed."
Detective Rathfon tells Action News that the suspect tried it at a Panera Bread in King of Prussia Sunday, but a quick-thinking manager spotted him and the suspect bolted.
The con starts with a small purchase and a big bill. The con man fast-talks the clerk with requests for change. The goal is to confuse the clerk into forgetting to collect the offered money.
Today such a scam could yield $40 or $50. If you can pull off the scam four or five times in a day, it's not a bad living.
As for the real suspect, Action News has been told he has hit at least 6 Panara breads in the last six weeks. It's likely he has hit other eateries as well.
The suspect is described as a white man in his 40s or 50s, wearing a cap and heavy coat and driving a white Toyota Scion SUV.

Filed under: Mexico | Tags: Mexico, Quetzcoatl, Teotihuacan
A long, branching tunnel found beneath the once-opulent ancient Mesoamerican city of Teotihuacan may lead to the tombs of the city's royals, which have never been found.
Experts say a tomb discovery would be significant because the social structure of Teotihuacan remains a mystery after nearly 100 years of archaeological exploration at the site, which is best known for the towering Pyramids of the Moon and the Sun.
No depiction of a ruler, or the tomb of a monarch, has ever been found, setting the metropolis apart from other pre-Hispanic cultures that deified their rulers.
Archaeologists had suspected the hidden tunnel was there after a heavy rainstorm in 2003 caused the ground to sink at the foot of the Temple of Quetzacoatl, in the central ceremonial area of the ruins just north of Mexico City.
More on the tunnel beneath Teotihuacan.
Filed under: Mexico, Peopling of the Americas | Tags: Mexico, Migration, Peopling of the Americas, reconstrcution
The shroud over the 'Peopling of the Americas' is being slowly lifted and more and more it seems like people came over in multiple migrations from broad areas, rather than all at once via the Bering Strait. The latest evidence is a reconstruction of 10,000-12,000-year-old remains of a woman found on the Caribbean coast of Mexico. Hers are some of the oldest remains found anywhere in the Americas.
Anthropologists had long believed humans migrated to the Americas in a relatively short period from a limited area in northeast Asia across a temporary land corridor that opened across the Bering Strait during an ice age.
But government archaeologist Alejandro Terrazas says the picture has become more complicated, because the reconstruction more resembles people from southeastern Asian areas such as Indonesia.
"History isn't that simple," Terrazas said. "This indicates that the Americas were populated by several migratory movements, not just one or two waves from northern Asia across the Bering Strait."

Open Thread: Talk About Sex & Love — No Conversation Is or Ever Will Be Off Limits Here
Here's your place to come talk about sex and love whenever you feel like it.
It's a crude potentially offensive term, I get that. But ever since a male friend used it to define what a guy was doing when he kept sending me vague open-ended hey-what-are-you-up-to little text dribbles throughout the week, I haven't been able to get it out of my head.
Here's what chumming is according to my friend. Similar to when chum is thrown out into the water to attract fish, "chumming" is when a guy or a girl sends out little bits of small-talk questions or comments to see what level of attraction he gets back. It's a feeling out of the other party. Is she interested? Not? Plus there's less humiliation from an unanswered text of, "You are my dream girl and I want you to have my babies" than there is from not getting an answer back to: "Any plan tonight?"
A few good chums I've gotten: "How's your day?" "Have fun last night?" "How was the rest of the party?" "Summer plans?" "Thank God it's Friday, right?"
So do I bite when I get these messages?
Sometimes. But mostly, I just wish I was better at doing it myself.
"The Mindy Project" had a great episode where the male doctors took over Mindy's cell and took the chumming bait to a whole new hilarious level. To wit:
And Urban Dictionary has a lot of crude definitions that have nothing to do with what I'm talking about, but this one comes a little bit close:
But here's the thing about chumming. I've kind of come to respect it. I kind of want to be better at it.
See, I think it has magical qualities for leading to kind of fun places with guys who might be a little gun-shy and uncertain about going after you until they're certain you're actually into them. Chumming allows you to throw at the guy (as Neil Strauss calls it in "The Game") "indicators of interest," without making a total fool of yourself.
For instance, the other day I texted a few friends about some dude I thought was kind of cute. I asked them if I should ask this guy to hang out since he was chumming, and they all wrote back the same thing, which was to essentially shorthand it: "No, dumb-dumb. Play it cool."
Essentially, chum back.
If I were better at it, I'd be able to do it as coyly as guys do it to me. Here are a few chumming moves I've come to respect:
"This weather is finally getting cooler."
"Wednesday should be required work at home day."
"How's your night going?"
"The weekend is not long enough."
"Interesting Friday so far?"
"Fun plans tonight?"
I realize how lame all of those sound, but all the same, I've responded to almost every one of these silly messages when they've come from someone I'm even vaguely interested in talking to (doesn't have to be romantic necessarily). I think the reason I respect guys who are good at the chum is their ability to not overthink the fact of "oh my God, what if she doesn't write back" -- or "oh this has to be the perfect interaction."
When I'm really in the flow and feeling confident, I think I chum fairly naturally. But other times I think about everything as a power equation and an interaction to be won or lost. (Which, um, makes me a loser, I realize.) For example, here's an actual conversation I had over text with a guy I had a casual hookup relationship with, and his last text to me was asking for me to send him something dirty--and I didn't reply.
"See," I showed the texting trail to a male friend of mine. "I won!"
"Good lord," my friend said, looking at my pitifully. "Is that really how you look at the world?"
"No!" I said. "I mean. Sometimes."
He looked at my phone again and re-read the conversation. "OK, you did kind of win that one."
I explained to my friend my own experience with guys chumming me. One of my favorite examples was a guy who sniffed out interest in me, and even when I tried to shut things down because I knew he was unavailable and a waste of time, he kept re-initiating.
When I responded to him with a short email:
"That's the shortest email you've sent me. Is everything OK?"
When I responded to him with a thorough email:
"You sound good. Is everything going well?"
This is another twist on chumming: the feigned intimacy or chick crack version. Like, that dude didn't know me. "I sound good." Give me a break. But did I respond? You bet I did. Chumming mission complete.
But honestly, I don't hate the player or the game.
I just wish I was better at it.

Choosing Reliable Research Sources
Lesson 2 of 8
Objective: SWBAT identify reliable sources by analyzing source author, purpose, and content.
To prime students' minds for the day's focus, I ask, what makes a good source to use for research?
"The teacher provides it." Those are generally good to use, yes. What else?
"Google!" Haha, not necessarily.
"The library." Often, yes, but not always.
Silence. No big deal--we're going to talk about this right now!
Choosing Reliable Sources
I point out to students that their research notes ask them to explain why their sources are reliable. "Google found it," is not a good answer, but there are many reasons why we might choose to use a source; it's important to know strengths (and weaknesses) of sources in relation to purpose (why the source was created), task (what it's trying to share), audience (who is intended to view it), and author. There are also many ways to find good sources, including advanced academic search engines, using a wider variety of search terms effectively, and utilizing search tools to find materials which may be reused. With that, I pass out the notes guide and we proceed through the PowerPoint.
Resources (2)
Resources (2)
Students have now reviewed how to choose and cite sources, so it's time to let them practice. They have the remainder of the hour to research for their life proposal assignment. Once they have found resources, I will meet with them individually while the class works to go over their source selection process and choices. We'll discuss how they found their materials and why the resources are good to use (or, perhaps, not so good).

16 reactions to Rapbeat Show & Night 2016
On Friday, May 13th the hottest Korean rappers performed their sets for an avid crowd at the Lotte Hotel during Rapbeat Show & Night 2016. Here are my reactions to the night.
1. 6PM. The show starts at 7:40 and there's already a looong line to get entrance bracelets. Don't these fans work?!
2. VIP look farther from the stage, but they are, in fact, a small group of people on a raised platform with small tables. I regret my decision not to spring for VIP tickets.
3. Why is Show Me the Money 4 power contestant Microdot the FIRST set? And only 15 minutes?!
4. Well, those were an amazing 15 minutes. Microdot is the reason people showed up on time.
5. Nafla seems like the least well-known performer here, although it's a good crowd. His raps seem relatively simple and he keeps getting the crowd to call out different names, none of which are Nafla, so I need someone to explain this to me.
6. Okay, guys, Bewhy is either straight up amazing, or just spectacular coming after Nafla. He was a strong contestant on Show Me the Money 4, and he's back this season for Show Me the Money 5. Can't wait to see how he does.
7. VMC is a rap group where one of the members is sporting a poof a la Truedy from Unpretty Rapstar 2. I have questions.
8. Huckleberry P is great as well, but the font they used had my friend thinking his name was "Huckleberry ?" the entire time. Plus, the audience pronounces his name like "Hucklebewwy," which is adorable.
9. I found out after the fact that Angdreville (ADV) is the rap group that Show Me the Money 3 competitor Olltii is in, but he was unrecognizable. One of their songs is literally "Suck my D" and another one that sounds a lot like "Call me Old Lady." Olltii did perform his outstanding "XX" rap from SMTM3.
10. Zico CLEARLY has the most backing tracks out of all the artists. He's an idol at heart. As he says, himself, on rapper i11evn's 2011 mixtape The Next Top 5", "I'm an idol AND a f***ing artist...and I have the drive to pursue both goals."
11. I have a clear line of sight to Zico, but someone is holding their giant iPhone right in front of his face, so I'm watching through a screen. So close, yet so far.
12. Tons of people are leaving after Zico. What about Zion.T?! And Illionaire?!
13. Zion.T is amazing live, although not exactly rap...
14. He also has a gigantic cast on his hand, which I originally mistook for a fashion statement.
15. Dok2 straight up checked his phone in the middle of his set.
16. Okay, I did not get the hype about Beenzino, but I get it now. He is BEAUTIFUL. And "Profile" is much better live.
Did you watch the show via Rapbeat's V Channel? Are there any Nafla fans out there to defend him?

Servo Breakout
This is a simple breakout cable for PX4FMU; it provides 4 PWM outputs, serial Rx/Tx for telemetry, PPM and battery voltage sensing.
Parts required:
- 15-pin DF13 connector shell
- assorted DF13 jumper wires as described on the PX4 Peripherals page. You can save on jumper wires by cutting the 12" jumper wires in half and using each half separately.
- 8×3 0.1"/2.54mm pitch "servo"-style pin block. If you don't have one of these, three rows of 8×1 pins will work too.
- A small 0.1"/2.54mm prototype board, e.g. the Measure Explorer ME-PB-101SP (a more expensive but nicer Measure Explorer board is available from Sparkfun).
Assemble the jumper wires to the DF13 as shown in the picture below. Use the pinout guide on the PX4FMU page to connect jumper wires to the following pins, in order:
- –skip–
- –skip–
- –skip–
- –skip–
- –skip–
Place the 8×3 pins through the board and use some hookup wire to connect all of the ground and power pins together.
Solder the jumper wires to the signal pins. Pick an ordering that works for you; in this example the serial rx/tx pins are separated from the servo and PWM input pins. If you decide to solder the battery sense wire to your breakout board, be very careful as the voltage on this wire will damage the PX4FMU if it is connected directly to any of the other pins.
When soldering 0.1" pins, it helps to have a connector (even just a jumper) on the pins to help keep them straight, as otherwise the connector body can easily melt and give you skewed pins.
The finished breakout cable. Note that the purple wire is not connected to the board in this case; it will be connected directly to the power distribution board. You can connect a 1kOhm resistor in series with the wire to reduce the risk of damage if the pin is accidentally connected to the wrong place without substantially changing the measured battery voltage.
The ziptie near to the board acts as a strain relief, reducing the risk of fatigue on the wire ends and solder joints. For added reliability, once you have tested the board use hot glue to reinforce the wires at the point they attach to the board, and cover the back side of the connector with a thin layer as well.

ALA's SRRT Feminist Task Force (FTF) was founded in 1970 by women determined to address sexism in libraries and librarianship. FTF was the first ALA group to focus on women's issues. Other ALA women's groups fostered by FTF include the standing ALA Committee on the Status of Women in Librarianship (COSWL), the Committee on Pay Equity, the RASD Discussion Group on Women's Materials and Women Library Users, the ACRL Women's Studies Section, and the LAMA Women Administrators Discussion Group. The Feminist Task Force continues to be one of SRRT's largest and most active groups, concerned with a broad, evolving set of feminist issues.

Indoor soccer facility opens in south Omaha
Indoor soccer facility opens in south Omaha
OMAHA, Neb. —
Omaha's first and only indoor soccer facility opened Friday, and players are ready to take the field this weekend.
Tournaments at the Kroc Center near 28 and Y streets begin Friday night. Officials with the facility said between 20 and 25 teams will be playing in the tournament.
Brandon Palmer, a manager at the Kroc Center, said on average, 60 to 90 people showed up every night to play soccer before the fields opened, and he expects those numbers to triple.
"It's very exciting, on a personal level, and it's even more exciting on a professional level because of what it will provide to the community of south Omaha," Palmer said.
The Kroc Center has leagues for both adults and kids. To find out more about the leagues, call 402-905-3500.

In this revised and updated beginner's guide I'll be answering the following questions: What is conversion? What is CRO? What techniques can be used to improve CRO?
According to 59% of company respondents, CRO is crucial to their overall digital marketing strategy. While 98% overall believe CRO's impact on their digital marketing carries some kind of importance.
Let's say your site is doing brilliantly in many areas. Traffic is coming your way via an effective SEO, paid search, social or content strategy. Great!
Unfortunately the people visiting your site aren't achieving the goal you actually intended them to achieve in the first place. They're not converting.
'Conversion' may not necessarily be a purchase, although more often than not it can be. A conversion can also be an email sign-up, the creation of an account, the completion of a survey, an app download.
Whatever the ultimate point of your website is, a conversion is the successful completion of that action. Conversion Rate (CR) is a key metric in ecommerce as it reveals the percentage of your site's total traffic completing a specific goal. The higher the conversion rate the better.
Conversion rate optimisation (CRO) is the process of optimising your site to increase the liklihood that visitors will complete that specific action.
According to our latest Conversion Rate Optimisation Report there are eight valuable areas that companies need to concentrate on for conversion rate optimisation:
- A/B and multivariate testing
- Having a structured approach
- Customer journey analysis
- Copy optimisation
- Online surveys/customer feedback
- Cart abandonment analysis
- Segmentation
- Using a complementary selection of the above
Let's take a look at a few of these examples...
A/B or multivariate testing
Companies with significant increases in sales are completing 6.45 A/B and multivariate tests a month, in comparison to the 2.42 test average among those whose sales are decreasing.
What is A/B testing? In very basic terms, you set up two different landing pages, each has a different element from the other. Perhaps one has a bright green call-to-action, the other has a slightly less garish colour. Your site presents one of these pages to half your traffic, and the less garish one to the other half.
Then you can then see whether or not a small change to a call-to-action (CTA) can make a difference to conversion.
The button isn't the only element that can be tested of course. Headlines, product copy, image size, layout, amount of text, fonts… If it's an element on the page then it can be tested. If testing that element means a chance of increasing conversion, then it should definitely be done.
Multivariate testing just means splitting up your traffic towards multiple versions of the same page. For this your site requires a large amount of traffic in order to test the larger number of combinations successfully.
Testing should never reach a stage of completion: even if you're absolutely confident that CRO has been refined to the very limits, carry on… Who knows what minor tweak may squeeze out a few more conversions.
For four years in a row, A/B testing has remained the most used method for improving conversion rates, with two-thirds of companies surveyed by us saying they use it.
Customer journey analysis
58% of companies use customer journey analysis and it has become one of the most valuable methods for improving conversion rates.
Customer behaviour is becoming increasingly complex and unpredictable. Their 'journey' from being advertised your products, to researching your brand, visiting your website or store, making a purchase then contacting you for any customer service needs can take place on a massive number of offline and online channels.
It is now more vital (and complicated) than ever for businesses to understand their own customers and the journeys they undertake which lead to conversion.
The benefits are definitely recognised in the industry. The vast majority (86%) of companies said that profitability and increased revenue were a "major benefit" of customer journey analysis. 83% said that identifying pain points and reducing customer struggle were a "significant benefit".
The collection of data from every available channel is important in understanding the customer journey, however it's critical to have staff with the right skills to analyse and create actionable insight using this data.
Organisations also need to collect and analyse data from offline sources (call-centres, high street stores). Combining this with online data is the only way you can build a complete and accurate picture of your customers and how they are likely to behave in the future.
After all multichannel customers are worth four times that of customers solely shopping offline or online.
There is lots more information available in our Understanding the Customer Journey Report.
Online surveys/customer feedback
Feedback can be collected in a wide variety of ways, some more user-friendly than others, but it can all be used to improve the customer experience. Even if the improvement is just to stop showing them survey pop-ups all the time.
One popular and less obtrusive method of doing this is the Net Promoter Score. This is a customer loyalty metric based on one direct question: How likely is it that you would recommend our company/product/service to a friend or colleague?
The final NPS score is calculated by subtracting the percentage of customers who are detractors (those who are unhappy with your site) from the percentage of customers who are promoters (your most loyal enthusiasts). Promoters – Detractors = NPS.
According to Forbes companies like Amazon and Costco operate with an NPS between 50-80% but the average venture has an NPS of only 5-10% or even negative.
Other benefits of CRO
Constant testing doesn't just mean a possible increase in conversion. It will also lead to a better user experience. Removing barriers, simplifying forms, clarifying navigation, all these things lead to an improved customer journey and therefore making your site a better place to browse.
The goal of CRO is not to manipulate visitors into converting. It's to ease the journey of already interested or engaged visitors through your website until they've achieved the outcome they desired themselves.
If a user has searched for 'blue Nikes' and they've landed on your product page, chances are they want to purchase the product, it's not trickery to make it as simple or even enjoyable as possible. That customer will come back for future purchases and recommend you to other users.

Hi Christopher,
Great summary of why conversion optimisation should form an integral part of every website's digital strategy. CRO was definitely the new black in 2013 and will be on the high street in 2014 for everyone to wear.
We have been involved in many conversion optimisation projects over the years but have seen a real boost in interest and advanced application last year. In my opinion it is worth mentioning that the success of a conversion optimisation campaign lies in the the quality of the data and a well-structured approach. Only when you really understand what is happening on your website (and what isn't) will you be able to hypothesize effectively.
I also think that conversion rate is not the only / best metric of success as companies ultimately aim to increase profit which does not necessarily mean number of transactions. A campaign to increase the average order value for example or to increase the quality of leads captured on a site can be a real profit driver. Revenue per visit or ideally profit per visit are great metrics that include all potential profit drivers and measure what really changes the website's bottom line.
I found this article really usefull and informative. I had no idea how important CRO was! Will definately be following your blog Christopher! Thank you.
Great insights Christopher! Can you recommend any tool for customer journey analysis. I find Google Analytics a bit cumbersome. Thank you.
Love the way you mention about customer journey analysis.
Most of the companies and sites forget this and focus on product instead of customers.
I also have a 9000words cro guide. Hope this help others

About Us
Our Mission
The U.S. Bicycling Hall of Fame is a 501c3 non-profit organization dedicated to recognizing American competitive cyclists and contributors to the sport for their significant achievements. Its mission is to preserve the history of American cycling in order to educate people about the past and encourage them to participate in the future of the sport. Encouraging all levels of cycling, the U.S. Bicycling Hall of Fame promotes cycling development and fitness.
America's Great Cycling Legacy
Most Americans are unaware that during the early 20th century, bicycle racing was a more popular spectator sport than baseball. Champion cyclists like Frank Kramer and Major Taylor earned more than the highest paid baseball players of their day including Ty Cobb. Six-day races ran around-the-clock to sold out crowds and head-to-head racing filled venues to capacity in Newark, New York, and Salt Lake City.
The foundation of the U.S. Bicycling Hall of Fame is built upon the recognition of the competitors and contributors to the sport of cycling.
Since 1987, there has been an annual induction of Americans who have achieved tremendous success in racing or have enhanced the sport of cycling through innovation, coaching, and their participation.
Past inductees include legends such as Greg LeMond, Juliana Furtado, Nelson Vails, Frank Kramer, Cheri Elliott, Alf Goullet, Major Taylor, Ned Overend, and Connie Carpenter-Phinney.
The U.S. Bicycling Hall of Fame exists to preserve and communicate the rich history of American cycling spanning from the champions of the 1880's to today's elite athletes.
All Aspects of the Sport
The Hall of Fame recognizes all disciplines within the sport of cycling including road, track, cyclocross, BMX, and mountain biking.

BAGHDAD, Iraq, Feb. 17 -Iraq's Shiite alliance won a slim majority of seats in the new National Assembly, the Iraqi Electoral Commission confirmed today after reviewing returns from the Jan. 30 election.
The United Iraqi Alliance, composed mainly of Shiite Islamist religious parties, will occupy 140 seats in the 275-seat assembly.
A joint Kurdish bloc, which ran second in the elections, won 75 seats. The group led by Prime Minister Ayad Allawi, a secular Shiite who is backed by Washington, got 40 seats.
About 8.5 million votes were cast, reflecting a turnout of around 58 percent of the more than 14 million eligible voters. Most Sunni Muslims, at the urging of their leaders, did not vote.
The announcements, made in a mainly empty hall here, were greeted with two small rounds of applause.
Most of the news media's attention centered on one of the top Shiite candidates to be prime minister, Ibrahim al-Jaafari, the leader of the Dawa Party.Continue reading the main story
Dr. Jaafari said it would be two to three days before a decision would be made on who would serve as premier.
Asked by one of the crush of reporters if there would be a vote among the majority Shiite United Iraqi Alliance, he said that if negotiations could not settle it, a vote was likely.
"This is the curse of democracy - it's open," he said with a tight smile, in a clear allusion to the other top candidate for the position, the exile leader Ahmad Chalabi.
Dr. Jaafari also said it would be more than two weeks after the prime minister is chosen before a full cabinet is picked and sworn in.
There was a huge jam around Dr. Jaafari as he made for an exit.
He was surrounded by at least 6, and up to 10, Iraqi and Western security guards, allowing reporters to trail him as he left, answering further questions in Arabic and English. Dr. Jaafari was openly demonstrating that he regards himself as the favorite candidate to be prime minister.
The first round of applause in the hall came when Hamdiya Husseini, a female member of the commission, said that "I congratulate the winning entities, hoping that they will be helping to build a free, honest, democratic Iraq."
The second came when the ceremony ended.
Another commission member, Hussein Hindawi, closed the book on complaints about irregularities in the balloting, saying the commission "had viewed them thoroughly" and "expressed satisfaction despite the incomplete process."Continue reading the main story

Mirrorless cameras. Photographers either love 'em or they hate 'em.
For me they always seemed limited, hard to hold, and I was kind of wary of the electronic viewfinder. But, I think some of the came from the fact that the only notable mirrorless cameras out at the time were the Sony NEX and Nikon 1 cameras, and while the NEX system has been lauded for helping to bring mirrorless cameras to a mainstream audience, the Nikon 1 stumbled out of the gate here in the West and hasn't yet recovered. The same is true for the Canon M EOS M camera. It was released in the USA to a resounding "Meh," and they haven't given us another one since. In fact, when Canon released the EOS M2, they decided to sell them only in Japan.
Now enter the Fujifilm X100s, the mirrorless camera that feels more like a labor of love than a cold tool for photography.
Fujifilm has been around a long time. They're film is actually regarded to be some of the best and most iconic still in (and out) of production. However, they've never really been a huge player in the digital photography game. They've had a few DSLRs in the past, but Canikon basically had the market cornered at that point, so the Fujifilm S3 and S5 slowly sank into obscurity.
But things are changing for Fujifilm and the camera market as a whole. Companies that haven't previously been well-known for their digital still cameras are now stepping up to the plate to give Canikon a run for their money, so without further ado, here's my take on the quirky little, fixed-lens Fujifilm X100s.
1. Foreword About the Sensor
First things first, the sensor in this little camera is pretty great. It might not be full frame, but I'll wager that it's one of the most capable APS-C sensors on the market.
This is because of a few reasons:
It uses Fujifilm's X-Trans II. Sounds kind of badass, right? Well, it kind of is. You see, instead of using the conventional Bayer Array that is used in most DSLRs, the X-Trans uses a different color filter. Here's the difference:
This sensor design also allows for sharper images because it cuts down on the amount of, moiré, which is the weird color shift you will see when photographing patterns with a lot of fine detail. Conventional Bayer pattern sensors typically use a special filter in front of the sensor that slightly softens details in an image so the moiré effect doesn't rear its ugly head. However, the X-Trans doesn't require this softening filter because of its different design.
I know at this point you're probably saying "This means nothing to me. Just tell me if it takes nice photos." Okay, okay, I won't get any more technical than I already have. There are some other benefits, but they're kind of boring if you don't understand photographese. I just wanted to touch on one of the things that make the Fujifilm cameras so unique. If you'd like to learn more: Wikipedia.
2. Image Quality
The X100s has an APS-C size sensor, meaning it has a 1.6x crop factor when compared to 35mm ("full frame") sensors. Because of this, the 23mm fixed lens has an equivalent angle of view that is closer to 35mm.
And man is it a useful focal length. It's awesome for photojournalistic work where I can get in close to get some modestly wide angle shots and then turn around and shoot portraits as well.
It also has a wide aperture of f/2, which allows for better low light shooting.
For such a little camera, it's really great to be able to get that creamy background blur that is generally associated with the chunkier DSLRs.
3. Noise
It also does really well with noise too. This image was shot at ISO 1600, and even though the noise is noticeable, it's not nearly as bad as, say, my Canon 60D camera, which is a DSLR with the same size sensor. It's quite usable.
I think part of this is because the noise is mostly luminance noise. This means that the little speckles affect the bright and dark certain pixels are, but it doesn't have a color shift. A lot of times higher ISOs will cause pixels to appear magenta, especially in the shadows. The X100s doesn't typically experience this.
Of course, this could be because of the editing software (I use Lightroom), which gets rid of a lot of the color noise by default, but either way, it's still nice.
4. Dynamic Range
Dynamic range is simply the range of detail that a sensor can capture between the brightest point and the darkest point. It's measured in stops, so a camera with 10 stops of dynamic range is "worse" than a camera that can produce 12 stops of dynamic range.
The Fujifilm is now slouch in this department. I currently shoot Canon as my main set of gear, and it easily competes with my Canon 6D, which is a full frame sensor.
Here's an image straight out of the camera. I uploaded it and exported it without changing anything. I metered for the inside of the restaurant, meaning that the inside is properly exposed, but the outside, because it's so much brighter, is overexposed. Let's see how much detail can be brought back.
Not too bad. There's enough detail outside now that the brightness isn't too overwhelming. Of course, this is just one example, and there are way to get more dynamic range out of the sensor than is shown here. For one, I could have underexposed the inside slightly, which would give me more detail in the highlights outside the restaurant, and then I would just have to bring the shadows up a bit so the inside wouldn't seem so dark. However, I wanted to show how much dynamic range you can pull out of the sensor if you properly expose the part of the image that you're trying to emphasize.
Straight out of camera:
I'll admit it. These probably aren't the best examples of the full dynamic range that this camera can produce. But I'm really trying to stay away from being too clinical with this "review," since there are sites that can do it much better than I can. I'm just giving my take on the camera from a real world, everyday perspective.
In the next part of the review I will be looking at the X100s' ergonomics/menus and its performance with off-camera flash. Stay tuned!

Teacher Faces Charges For Use Of Body Sock On Autistic Boy
A South Mifflin Elementary School teacher, accused of hurting an autistic boy, has now been charged with endangering children.
After the February incident, Columbus City Schools gave the teacher a five day suspension and a written reprimand.
The boy's parents say they were angry when the teacher went back to work.
Now that she has been charged, they say perhaps their son will get the justice he deserves.
Amatullah Shields says every time she thinks about what her 10-year-old son, Naquis, has gone through she gets angry all over again.
"I don't see her getting into any trouble. The worst that has happened to her is public humiliation," said Amatullah Shields
Shields says her son, who is autistic, was hurt after South Mifflin Elementary School teacher, Courtney Plummer, placed him in a therapeutic body sock.
It's a stretchy sack often used for children who have sensory issues.
Her son was placed in the sock, with his coat and book bag. He lost his balance and fell over.
It's a form of therapy, Shields said, the school knew she did not want for her child.
"She violated protocols that were put in place for a special needs child, as a special needs teacher, but I am glad the officer saw that this was not an accident, said Shields
But she says the school district has yet to see it that way.
"We were basically told that they thought their ruling was fair, and I expressed my concerns that I thought it was unfair - because children services, and the police department, saw something different than what they were telling me."
10TV obtained a copy of the letter written by a Franklin County Children's Services Supervisor.
The agency substantiated claims that Naquis was neglected by Courtney Plummer.
That letter was dated March 26, 2013
Plummer returned to work on April 10, 2013.
"Now that she has been criminally charged, maybe they will step up," says Shields
Columbus City Schools says if school were in session, Plummer would be put on paid leave until the conclusion of the case.
Since she is on break for the summer, there is no action they can take at this time.
Plummer has a court appearance scheduled for later this month.
