Over 86% of cancer is caused by environmental factors that WE bring on ourselves and to our family. These include tobacco smoke, poor nutrition, physical activity, environmental carcinogens, etc. This means that only 14% of cancer is hereditary. We tend to believe that because our grandparents had it, we will get it. It's just 'in our blood'. It may be in your blood, but who put it there is the real question!
I am not one to dwell on regrets, but I do have one that's been weighing on my mind a lot lately! I don't know about you, but I regret not providing a toxic free home to my children (those sweet male humans of my flesh and blood that I love more than life itself). I regret not reading the thousands of labels (that I purchased with my hard earned money) to see just how many carcinogens were included….you know, the ingredients that the FDA approved as acceptable and I agreed it was okay to consume. It's my fault! I exposed them to such horrible toxins. I even went to the extent of rewarding them with trips to get fast food, all laden with 'oses' and 'phates' and 'lates' (and this is not a coffee from Starbucks). Those ingredients that are not raised or grown. God didn't provide any of those ingredients in Day 1 through 6. Just sayin'.
We tend to go through life accepting what is before us without question. We wait until we are sick and then we depend on the doctor to fix us up. We again get into a robot mentality and take the shot then buy the prescriptions (again with our hard earned money), all without question. It's approved by the regulating bodies of the Federal government, so it should be okay, right? WRONG.
When you realize that there is truly a better way of living, you get fed up enough to take action. You take responsibility and become proactive. You don't accept the norm. You stop making fun of all of the tree huggers and don't mind being called a naturalist, environmentalist, or hippy yourself. Call me green, or any other color, I don't care.
At some point in your life, you have to realize that everything you do has consequences, good or bad. When you take a bite of food, it helps or hurts your body. There is no middle ground. If you can't pronounce it (or event attempt to memorize the spelling), it's a good chance that it's not good for you. I admit, I sometimes forget if tomato has an 'e' on the end or not. Thank goodness for spell check. But I do recognize the fruit/veggie and know who created it. It wasn't in a lab.
You work hard. It's only fair that you are healthy enough to play hard. Don't wait till you are 80 years old and realize that your life is gone to pot with poor health, stress, and 'living life to the fullest' was just a dream that never came true. You do have a choice. Every dime you hand over to the cashier is paying for choices you made while pushing that germy buggy around. Stay out of the aisles. Buy fresh veggies that are organic. If not organic, wash them well! Buy local. Buy fresh meat or lean on your local hunters to help fill the freezer. Farm. Dirt don't hurt.
You eat 'clean' already? Great! What about your laundry products? Beauty products? Start reading every label on every product you use in one day. You just might be surprised to find that YOU are risking your life and that of your family to exposure to cancer. When that soap and shampoo runs down your backside, you don't think that it's getting into your blood stream? You do know that your skin is very permeable, right? Download the app EWG and scan your products to see the toxicity level yourself. You can also visit their website here.
Hormonal? Think it's just because you are aging? Why is your daughter starting her cycle so early in life? Toxins are endocrine disrupters. We bring this on ourselves and to our family (those we love dearly). Why? Are we lazy, or just don't care? Maybe we just didn't know. Now you do!
It can be a lot to purge from your home, but you have a choice to make good choices starting today. Start with one area and work your way through the house. Throw away all of the plugins. That's an easy start. I don't know about you, but every time I went to throw away a toxin laden product, all I saw was money in the trash can. But you know what, it was one less toxin that could cause cancer within me. I was raising the bar and and reducing my chances of facing that nasty disease. I could make a good choice and spend my money on safe products. Buying safe products does not have to be expensive. Again, it's just making good choices.
Start today! In a year from now, you'll be glad you did. No regrets.
Here are a few videos of how to make toxic-free products that are less expensive than the standard toxic filled products in the stores:
- DIY Laundry Detergent
- DIY Dishwaster Detergent
- DIY Softscrub (works better than any I've ever bought)
- Foaming Face Wash
- Body Butter- Part 1, Part 2
I'd love to help you make a change for future with wellness in mind. It's all about prevention! Living life to the fullest can be a dream come true! Now wake up and get busy!

(Associated Press) View 3 more images (Newser) – China's economy is booming and inflation is in check, but for how long? Third quarter growth swelled the economy by 11.5%, putting China ahead of Asian rivals India and Vietnam, and inflation dropped to 6.2%. Beijing says it will keep falling, but inflationary fears sent the Shanghai stock market down 4.8% today, the New York Times reports Beijing has set price controls to offset high wages and prices, hoping to stop the economy from "transitioning from speedy growth to overheating," an official said. One economist calmed fears by equating high wages to high output, not inflation. But with interest rates at half of inflation and money supply swelling, some experts are waiting for the inflationary shoe to drop. View 3 more images

Sophia feels very comfortable right away, and I don't blame her because I get very comfortable too. As soon as we get there, my mom takes over my duties, she does this because she had been waiting a whole year to be able to feed, hug, kiss and play with her granddaughter and also because she wants to give me a break and the chance to do non-mom things. My brothers, my sister in law and my niece and nephew interact with Sophia as if we had never left, and she responds to that attention in a very positive way. Little things like when they take the time in the morning before they go to work(even though they are already late for work) to give her a kiss and make her laugh, have a great impact on her development.
Don't get me wrong, Sophia get lots of attention and support here from her teachers and us but the kind of love that she gets during our visit to Colombia is incredible! Our life is here in the states, here is where we can get all the medical and educational support that Sophia needs to reach her potential. Here is where Sophia's dad is and this is our home and I love my life here. I wish we could have everything in one place but that's not possible, so I try to make the best of what we do have when we have it; and in those 28 days we made up for the 11 months we can't be together.
Here is a couple of videos of Sophia having quality time with the family:

I produced this banner for Woden's Folk several years ago.
At the same time I also made a banner for the EHF.
Both banners were made using a hand operated Singer sewing machine, so no electrical machinery was used at all. The design is based upon the Gar rune being the sacred centre, with the remaining 32 runes being displayed in four arms of eight runes. The flag is being used here at a sacred site in southern England.

An interesting piece by Kevin Libin. I'll let you draw your own conclusions.
Kevin Libin: Doctors favour junkies over smokers
Kevin Libin Oct 14, 2011 – 8:21 AM ET |
Smokers should be so lucky as to have the political influence that heroin junkies clearly enjoy. When the Canadian government was pursuing its court challenge against Vancouver's Insite safe injection clinic for heroin users—which it recently lost at the Supreme Court—dozens of doctors and scientists rose up to protest. Stephen Hwang, a top researcher at the University of Toronto, called the government's hostility to Insite "an alarming example of a recent trend towards the increased politicization of science."

Program Director, Robbie Rodriguez of RockRadio993 had the pleasure of sitting down with Ms. Melanie Gagne, Lead Vocalist & Guitarist of the Canadian rock group MUTED SCREAMS which formed in 2007. This is a melodic, hard driving grooving Alternative Rock Band, who have tight phrasing, catchy riffs, confidence and are very capable players. The first time I came across one of the groups videos, I was hooked. Let's get down to it!
Muted Screams is:
Melanie: Quebec, Canada
Melanie: To reach a dream you need to go in the right direction. In a band, when you aim for something, you really need to be in phase with each other because it's something like trying to shoot an arrow when there's eight hands on the bow. I believe the first show we did with our current line up would be it!
Robbie: Wow, that's awesome…on the first try! (Laughs) Let's talk a little about the bands process, who is the main writer, and how do the other members contribute to the overall musical sound & arrangements?
Melanie: We alternate between rehearsals to fine tune the live set, and rehearsals to work on new a song. We have a decent little recording setup at our place so anytime we want to record something new, we just do it. When the songs are ready, we are always prepared to record! That's the beauty of doing things yourself! Most of the time we start by recording some rough takes with a pod and midi drums, just to get the whole idea of the song. This way we spend more time laying down the ideas by spending less time on tweaking knobs for hours. When the song's ready, we redo everything giving more attention to tone and details.
Robbie: How to do you integrate production and engineers, how important is your production team as it relates to your project(s)? Lastly, do you currently work with any specific producers, If so, what does that studio or producer brings to your sound?
Melanie: We always tried to make things as DIY as we could, but sometimes it's best to let someone else do the job. Charles co-produced "What are you made of?" with Jerome Larochelle, a longtime friend of the band and excellent engineer. Basically, Charles did the tracking near Quebec City and Jerome the mixing in Regina, Saskatchewan. They both did great and had an understanding of what everyone wanted, I believe that's a something we can all hear when we listen to the songs.
Robbie: Tell me a little about your latest release? Why is this release significant in scope versus your previous releases?
Melanie: I think that the first full length is always really significant for a band. We've been working two hard years on it and we have put far more time on it than on our first demo in 2008. We hoped that this one could bring us up another step in our career and it did! We signed our first distribution and publishing deal mostly because of "What are you made of?"!
Robbie: How has your sound changed since your first release? What are the main
Melanie: We recorded the first at our beginnings! The tunes were not at their best and our sound was not clearly defined. We went through a lot of things in between the first and the second release. We became better at recording, we improved our playing. We had time to find our sound and to select the best songs we had to make that album. We also went through a couple of member changes, for example, Charles was on drums back in the days!
Robbie: How does the band get along? Is it a cohesive unit on tour? What advice would you impart on a new band attempting to tour?
Melanie:We have a good chemistry. I think the secret is that we need to define the true purpose for each member. One is driving, one is keeping the facebook page up to date, one is making a bad DJ of himself, while all I have to do is to sit back and relax! Just kidding. To new bands; stay easygoing and have fun!
Robbie: What would you say are the hardships of touring versus the greatest
Melanie: Seeing the crowd that shows up for you when you're not in your
hometown is one of the great part of it, but saying bye to friends
you've made along the road is probably the worst!
Robbie: Do you believe the industry and big production days are long
gone?Melanie: No, grant me unlimited budget, and I'll prove it to you! Just kidding.
If by big production you mean an album recorded in a big LA studio, mixed by CLA and mastered by Ted Jensen, those days are probably not over yet. It's hard to compete with those guys!
Robbie: What would you want to change? What would you bring back if you could?
Melanie: I'd like to bring back the days where there was more variety on mainstream music media!
Robbie: How do you choose your supporting acts when it's time to
Melanie: We almost never choose, most of the time it's the promoter's choice. When we have to choose we go with friends!
Robbie: What advice can you give a young band trying to get signed? Who should they trust?
Melanie: Trust yourself! If you're insecure, it just won't happen. It's business, it's about money, it's not about a good song or a great drummer... It's about sales, about how many people are going to your shows... Get noticed by the labels first, only then they'll listen to your songs!
Robbie: If you could do it over, what would you want to do in thebusiness?
Melanie: I think that if I could do it over, I wouldn't change a thing. I've made the right choice, and I wouldn't come back on any decision I had to make.
Robbie: What's next for your band?
Melanie: We are going to release new songs in 2014 for sure and who knows, maybe another video.
Robbie: Who is your label? Please provide some information on then.
Melanie: Higher Reign Music Group is based in Quebec city. It's an Independent label that is building a strong reputation.
Robbie: How did your label approach you?
Melanie: The A&R of the label saw the teaser from our album on YouTube and really liked it. She contacted our drummer on Facebook. The funny part is that my drummer started to flirt with her because he said she was cute, and funny but then he realized that she was working for a label, and that she had more interest in our band than him…(Laughs) It didn't stop her from wanting us on the label.
Robbie: I enjoyed "Deadwood" a lot. Can you provide a clear explanation on your message on this song?
Melanie: We don't need much to be happy and there's some easy ways to spread happiness around us. We all should stop to worry about the past and move forward.
Robbie: "Broken Wheel" is a powerful song, how personal was this song to you? Was it due to a break up?
Melanie: I think everyone had to face this situation. You know when you get enough of something when you realize that you're in a bad situation and it makes you feel like shit. This is something that I had to face. We need this push or courage to leave someone when it's time too.
Robbie: Would you plan on touring the US?
Melanie: You're right! We'll have to go say hi to our neighbors' sooner or later!
Robbie: What national acts have you played with?
Melanie: We had the opportunity to play with Shinedown, Monster Truck, Pennywise, The Flatliners, Randy, Die Mannequin, Smash Hit Combo, Courage My Love.
Robbie: Thank you for your time and attention. We appreciate your interview. We look forward to seeing you guys on tour!
Melanie: Thank you so much Robbie!

tuesday throwdown challenge is a criss cross card. I like to use these for gift cards--just tuck it in behind the inside message. The papers are from Hobby Lobby, the ribbon with butterflies from Michael's. The butterfly stamp inside is Stamp Affairs with Martha Stewart pink geranium accented with a rose star gel pen.The sentiment is Inkadinkadoo also with pink geranium. I used a corner rounder on the message card and smudged the border with light green from Stampabilities.

If a recipe calls for a measuring of salt, very rarely is it ever a good idea to add all of it in the beginning. Cooking is a delicate process that requires continual attention and tasting along the way. Adding too much salt to a recipe is an easy way to overpower a dish and unfortunately, you can't take that salt away.
When you cook, you should salt as you go. If you finish cooking and your dish isn't just right, then you can add salt to achieve the desired taste. Simply put, salt is much easier to add than to take away.
The same can be said of ink. Primarily due to dot gain, ink is easier to add than take away. Dot gain is the phenomenon that is caused by halftone dots increasing in size during the printing process. A nice, round dot will grow on press as it is transferred to paper and the result can be an average 15% growth of the dot causing the dot to look darker than expected.
Unfortunately dot gain is unavoidable so printers must compensate by creating curves in prepress that eliminate the effects of dot gain. Because dot gain is greater in the midtone values (around a 50% tint) and less in the extremes (5-10% tint or 90-100% tint) a tint reduction on a linear curve is needed to lower midtone plate values. Simply put, you can't just lower the ink densities on press if the midtones are too dark as this would also result in the dark image areas to look light and faded. So to achieve the optimal printed image it becomes necessary to remove enough dot on the front end to compensate for the dot returning during the printing process.

After making this assessment, Cedar Fair offered to sell the park (remember they don't own the land, they have a lease through 2039) to the city/49ers so that the 49ers could do what they wanted with it. Talk about hardball, read the stance for yourself:
So it's Great America vs. the 49ers. Reading between the lines, it appears Cedar would prefer that Santa Clara citizens choose between the two. If/when an election is held to decide this, it will difficult issue to pass because it will be hard for the Niners to paint it as something other than a black-and-white scenario. Great America is the incumbent and doesn't face an uphill battle.
Cedar Fair has analyzed information provided by the 49ers themselves regarding parking, usage dates, project footprint, and traffic flow. While other parties can weigh in on the fiscal and environmental risks that building a new stadium would bring to the residents of Santa Clara, we oppose the stadium as proposed for three basic reasons specific to the interests of Great America's guests:
1. Unacceptable parking limitations for Great America visitors.
2. Increased congestion for Great America visitors.
3. Irreconcilable limits on Great America improvement plans.
When Cedar Fair concluded that an amusement park and the stadium as proposed could not successfully coexist, Cedar Fair offered the City and the 49ers the option of redeveloping the entire parcel. The next step will be for the citizens and the City of Santa Clara to decide: should the Great America site be used for a new 49ers' stadium or should the park continue to operate? If the City and its citizens believe that the best use of this property is for a new stadium, then Cedar Fair is willing to consider selling the remainder of its lease and all of its interest and assets to the City or 49ers for fair market value.
Should the Niners get to the point of actually acquiring the park, there is a question of what "fair market value" is. It comes down to branding and the value of operations at Great America. Close the park and it becomes a sunk cost. They can liquidate the rides and technology there but that sounds like a pennies-on-the-dollar problem.
You may be thinking, "Whew, I'm glad the A's aren't dealing with this," and you'd be right. It could have been this way, however, if the A's went with the Warm Springs site next to NUMMI. NUMMI felt a similar threat and put up the stop sign immediately. The A's and Cisco are partners. The 49ers and Cedar Fair? Not so much. Then again, maybe the 49ers really want the land so that it can be redeveloped in an effort to help pay for the stadium, whose cost is upwards of $800 million. It would be rather similar to what the A's are trying to do, wouldn't it?

Her attitude could be summed up as: "If you can't afford clean needles, you shouldn't be addicted to drugs." People in Westmount who are addicted to drugs are more her cup of tea, as they get the stuff through their doctors.ReplyDelete
It's consistent with her vociferous support of the legal status quo on prostitution that the court's have starkly called deadly for sex workers. Any change in their legal status might detract from her right to call them cheap little sluts you see:ReplyDelete
I say we just have a war on drugs. Everybody knows that wars are the best way to kill things, including drug use.ReplyDelete

Apollo Bay [ or Polla Bay as the locals like to call it ] is a tiny hamlet on the southern coast, a holiday and retirement colony accessible only by one of two equally tortuous and dangerous roads and my destination for the weekend.
Once a year I make the 300 km/ 4 hour trip down to the coast to stay with my friend Judy and teach something to her patchwork group.
Of course the prospect of spending that long in the car with the broken backside wasn't thrilling but you've made a committment so that's what you do, right? ...and anyway if Judy could contemplate a visitor for the weekend and a 2 day class when she was getting back from CHINA about 2 hours ahead of my arrival ... well, nuff said, eh?
Okay. So the house was cleaned, provisions laid in for David and the live-in Carer, notes copied and bags packed.
First stop after one hour ... purely in the interests of taking the weight off my coccyx you understand ... was at Sebastapol near Ballarat and the best quilt shop in Victoria IMHO : Gail's Patchwork Emporium. I know some people rave about Quilter's Barn down at Loch and I know that the owner there is a great entrepreneur but it's never really been my cup of tea. For my money, it's always been Gail's, dating back to the days when it was called The Silver Thimble and operated out of her rumpus room. Back then, a carload of us would make pilgrimmage up from Melbourne a couple of times a year because she was the only one selling bali batiks, Hoffmans and hand dyes. Hard to believe now I know, but in the late 80s no one else was game to take the risk and carry fabric that was 'different'. These days, even though I only live an hour drive away, I mainly catch up with Gail at Symposiums and the like except for the annual jaunt to the coast.
After the obligatory free cuppa and bikkie and trip to the loo, the plastic was bent thusly: [ surprise! it's all japanese ... apart from the super cute santa pattern which was an astounding $18 for 2 pieces of paper and a photo, so I'd better make sure I use it, eh? ]
Back in the car, chugging across interminable stretches of farming country through Rokewood and Cressy until another hour or so later, I turned for the coast near Colac.
This last hour of the trip is up and over the spine of the Otway Ranges along hairpin curve after hairpin curve with vertiginous drops, and breathtaking views that I couldn't see because my eyes were glued to the road. I swear the sheep around there must have legs six inches shorter on one side because they'd fall over otherwise.
It wasn't too bad Friday because the rain had stopped but I have to tell you that this is NOT a road you want to travel in the rain [ like last year ] or after dark. The curves are so tight, and the road so narrow, that you can't see oncoming traffic until it's about 10 metres in front of you so no matter how vigilant a driver you are it's hairy to say the least, and there's about 40 km like that.
Note to the driver of the 4-wheel drive with boat trailer and cabin cruiser attached who rounded a curve on my side of the road : thanks for prooving just how good my tyres and breaks are fella!
Pleasant evening catching up with Judy's China news, good tucker, later to bed than was probably prudent ... didn't much matter. I had a pretty disturbed night's sleep anyway but that's normal ... and up bright and early for the day's activities: a Mystery Quilt class again. This time it was one I'd designed in probably the early 90s that fitted the brief the girls had given me: smallish and able to be manifestly completed in the 2 days.
That's probably enough photos for now so I'll show you the actual class stuff tomorrow.

36" x 36" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas
Contemporary Palette Knife Painting
Here's a few photos of the progress on this canvas. This was a fun painting for me, as I had not painted a bird's nest in years. I am letting it sit at the studio and giving my eye a chance to figure out if it needs anything else. I started with my transparent and a large squeegee, spreading the paint and getting the darks in. I used a palette knife and a wide bright brush when it came to the feathers, leaves and twigs and everything that makes up the nest.
Thanks for looking at my art. Feel free to contact me about this painting or any of my other art. This painting is available for purchase. Contact Kay Wyne for more info. Thanks, Kay

"I've a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore."
It's true. I'm not. Hopefully never to return for any substantial amount of time. With that said, there are still things I will miss. Like driving through the Flint Hills, the 4% of prairie actually left. The gorgeous sunsets. Almost every night. The memories of my daughters birth, and growth. And of course friends- most of which won't even be there in less than a year to come as well. This is the definition of Army life.

Hi Maddie,
If you look at the nutritional information on the Stewed! website, you'll see that the range is currently sugar-free. http://www.steweduk.co.uk/range.html
So, any detectable 'sweetness' will come from naturally-occurring, unrefined sugars.
Hope this helps,

text: I have a question for all the guys out there... I know men can have problems getting off sometimes, but in the last 5 years my husband has never had that issue. Last night he suddenly just couldn't? He was definitely turned on, and we had sex for awhile, and he felt close to it a few times. After a bit he gave up and said it hurt and felt like he was right there, that he wanted to cum so badly, but it just wasn't happening. He waited a moment and we tried again, but he just couldn't? We have an active sex life, but haven't done anything in about a week because I've been very sick. Usually if he goes without for more than a day he doesn't last that long even. He gets that excited. I'm lost as to what might have caused this. Any ideas?

Jameson Irish Whiskey (4500ml)

This super-size bottling will be the highlight on any home bar. Comes with presentation carton & cradle.
In 1780, John Jameson established his distillery in Bow Street, Dublin. Determined that his whisky would be the finest in the world, he laid down rules for quality that have been maintained to this day. John Jameson was fastidious as a whisky maker and patriarchal as an employer. His dedication to quality went through every aspect of the business, from the barley strain, which he encouraged the farmers to grow, to the choice of sherry casks used for maturation.
The growth enjoyed by Jameson Irish Whisky in the 1960s meant that expansion of facilities became necessary. In 1975, production was moved to the Midleton Distillery, Co. Cork. The new Distillery has remained true to the original methods and standards. Today, the Midleton Distillery is acknowledged as one of the finest whisky distilleries in the world with world wide sales of 1.5 million cases a year.
Triple distilled for smoothness, Jameson Irish Whisky's production process differentiates it from Scotch and American whisk(e)ys. Made with pure water and a combination of malted and unmalted barley, the malted barley or malt is dried by warm air. This ensures that smoke does not come into contact with the grain and that the natural taste of the barley shines through in the final whisky. This is unlike the Scotch production process, in which peat smoke is blown through the malt and flavours it.In Ireland, one of the secrets of making whisky lies in the slow, triple distillation in copper pot stills. This method of distilling gives the whisky its remarkable smoothness and round flavour. Other whiskys are distilled only once or twice. Meanwhile, the mellow, sweet taste of Jameson Irish Whisky is attributed to the length of time the spirit is allowed to mature in seasoned American and Sherry oak casks.

Richard Epstein Makes Sense
Epstein, Richard A. 2010. "BP Doesn't Deserve a Liability Cap: The best way to deter future spills is to expose drillers to the full costs of any mistake and not let any company without proper insurance near an oil derrick." Wall Street Journal (16 June).
"What's needed going forward is a comprehensive legal strategy that addresses the risks though a combination of regulation before the fact and tort liability (and criminal sanctions where appropriate) afterwards. Tort remedies are essential to protect people (and their property) who do not have contractual relations with defendants from harms such as air and water pollution. The legal system should never allow self-interested parties to keep for themselves all the gains from dangerous activities that unilaterally impose losses on others -- which is why the most devout defender of laissez-faire must insist, not just concede, that tough medicine is needed in these cases. The fundamental question here is one of technique: What mix of before and after sanctions will do the job at the lowest cost?"
"The first element in the mix is a no-nonsense liability system that fastens full responsibility on the parties who run dangerous operations, no excuses allowed. Accordingly, we have to be especially wary of statutory caps on tort damages."
"A tough liability system does more than provide compensation for serious harms after the fact. It also sorts out the wheat from the chaff -- so that in this case companies with weak safety profiles don't get within a mile of an oil derrick. Solid insurance underwriting is likely to do a better job in pricing risk than any program of direct government oversight. Only strong players, highly incentivized and fully bonded, need apply for a permit to operate. This logic also suggests that the Price Anderson Act's $375 million cap on damages for each responsible party to cover incidents at a nuclear power facilities should be rethought."

Utterly self-contradictory drivel. NeoPigouvian drivel at that.
They are precisely able to impose such costs due to an elaborate system of laws that are constitutive of the powers of capitalism.
The libertarians have never ceased to be utterly afraid of the legal realists. It's like trying to get Episcopalean ministers to read Neitzsche. Even a cursory reading of the history of the western legal tradition[s] indicate that laissez faire never existed. But, hey, denial is a commodity in great demand.
That someone like Epstein is a teacher makes me want to vomit.
So, how do we price the ecosystem services of the Gulf of Mexico?????????? Who will invent the financial instruments to make the reconstruction of the trophic webs possible?
James Lovelock is right; the human race is hopelessly incompetent.

Well, there goes the business model. :(

"Full responsibility" for damages under tort law is not the equivalent of collectibility for such damages. Will those responsible have deep enough pockets? Will insurance (or self-insurance) be available to cover the damages?

If the legal system would hold polluters fully liable, then he'd be right. Picking up on something Paul Krugman wrote - I've been hammering the theme that limits to downside liabilities effectively subsidize externalities and risk taking that is foolish from a system point of view. But that is what we have had over the past couple of generations so BP took these risks and failed to invest in technologies to either mitigate the risk or clean up the mess after the fact.

Might it be better to change the incentives? Much of BP's 'carelessness' stems from its complete focus on maximizing profit for shareholders
(executives). We might change corporate licensing to require equal consideration of labor and community (commonweal) concerns and needs.

In the case of BP "full liability" would be tantamount to unlimited liability given the destructiveness of the leak. I suspect this is why Michael likes what Epstein is saying, for unlimited liability would mean a major transformation of corporate governance law in the US and would lead to international "spillover" effects.
Mark Sagoff has written quite lucidly about the serious problems associated with thinking about pollution in terms of externalities.
Epstein does not want to deal with the contradictions of environmental torts; they'll mangle his theory of property and prices as well as his theory of the State.....At least he realizes that they create problems for his notions of corporate governance.

Despicable Me: Review
Horton Hears A Who! and it takes place in a world where super villain is a legal profession and centers on Gru, who at one time was the greatest super villain in the world but begins to lose out to a younger villain who looks like Bill Gates. So Gru decides to pull off the greatest heist in history by stealing the moon. But to do that he needs to break into his nemesis' fortress and steal a shrinking ray. So Gru adopts and enlists three orphan girls to help him do so but develops a strong father-daughter relationship with the girls.
How To Train Your Dragon and Toy Story 3, Despicable Me has a shit chance of making it into the Academy's nomination list. But it is pure good cinema fun.

Ok, so it's been about a year since I've updated this blog with anything personal about my life. So here we go:
One word: AWESOMENESS. So, when we last spoke I mentioned how I had just started seeing this nice woman, Lady D. Fast forward to today: I'M GETTING MARRIED ON JULY 19TH, 2009!!! We moved in together on August 1st, 2008. The woman formerly now as Lady D, now and forever more known as Craig or CraigiePoo, popped the question on September 2, 2008 a week shy of our 6 month anniversary.
I couldn't be happier. I've picked out my dress. Actually, I had to have mine custom made. Apparently, red wedding dresses haven't quite caught in the good ole U.S. of A. I look so darn cute, I can't stand it!
We've gotten our wedding bands, wedding invitations, wedding ceremony and reception site, wedding favors. We've gotten it all already. Now, comes the hardest part...waiting until July 19th. I'm still not sure how many guest we're going to have. We originally had it around 76 people, but if everybody who is on our current list shows up...with their guest, it'll be around 110. Whoo hoo! Good times!!! Can't wait.
On a funny note: Shawty Le Red, also now and forever known as Alexis (cause she didn't like being referred to as Shawty Le Red), is going to be my maid of honor. She was going to be just a bridesmaid, but got bumped up to Maid of Honor since the Cranky Librarian has decided it's too much work to keep in contact with anyone anymore. Meh, it happens.
I almost dropped out of college in the Fall 08 semester. I am so over getting my BA degree. I'm ready to move on to the next thing. I hated all my classes last semester. If I'm paying $1500 a class I expect more than watching HBO dramas and playing bloody video games. One teacher even caused me to go home and drink after the first class because he was so erratic in his teaching style. I dropped the course. One of my other classes was cancelled due to low enrollment. Blah blah blah yada yada yada, I'm now graduating in December 2009 instead of May 2009. I am so over it.
I'm thankful that I still have a job ::said through clench teeth while soul slowly continues to die::

[P]erhaps the best starting point for getting a hold of its purpose is the adjective in the term liberal education. "Liberal" tells us that the education was originally held to be education that becomes a free human being, a liber, rather than a slave (i.e., a human being with the potential for sufficient virtues of mind and heart to rule himself or herself within a society of like-minded human beings). It is an education aimed at developing the human potential to be free—to be not in need, as slaves were thought to be, of being commanded and watched over and reminded of the fearful consequence of doing what a master forbids. It is an education becoming, then, a full human being, and therefore choice-worthy as an end in itself. It is a high or noble common enterprise that can fulfill one's distinctively human potential, regardless of how useful it might be for other things. Liberal education so understood is emphatically not career, or job, or professional training, in which you learn things useful for something else—information or "theories" that you will apply later. For this reason, classes in preprofessional programs to this day do not count toward Phi Beta Kappa credits. In fact, to think of liberal education as a means and not an end in itself is like encouraging someone to study violin so that she can have limber fingers. It is to mistake a very real effect of liberal education for its purpose.
Liberal education is likewise emphatically not a political indoctrination, an education in how to be a liberal or a conservative.

For today's Spiritual Sunday I'm sharing one of Joel Osteen's devotional from this past week. Thank you, Ginger and Charlotte for hosting SS weekly! Go here for more inspiration from many lovely Christian people!Katherine
In Due Season
"I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield her increase and the trees of the field yield their fruit"
(Leviticus 26:4, AMP)
TODAY'S WORD from Joel and Victoria
God has set up seasons in our lives. It's easy to get frustrated when our dreams aren't coming to pass on our timetable, but every season is not harvest season. There are plowing seasons. There are planting seasons. There are watering seasons. Sure, we would love for every season to be a time of increase left and right, good breaks here and there. But without the other seasons, we wouldn't be prepared. For example, it's during the plowing seasons that God brings issues to light that we need to deal with. He's getting us prepared for promotion.
If you're not making as much progress as you would like, the key is to not lose any ground. Don't go backwards. Hold your position. Keep a good attitude and do the right thing even when it's hard. When you do that, you are passing the test, and God promises that your due season of harvest is coming. Be encouraged because your appointed time of increase, favor, and promotion is on its way, and He will fulfill every dream and desire He's placed within your heart!
"Father God, I bless You today. I thank You for preparing me for the blessing and promotion You have in my future. I surrender my heart, mind, will and emotions to You so that I can live as a testimony of Your work in my life. In Jesus' Name. Amen."

Like most of America – hell the world – I waited with bated breath for the reveal of who is "IT" in Negan's sick game of "Eeenie, Meenie, Minne, Moe." I am a spoiler follower, so I knew the characters who were not victims based on sightings of them during filming. I had narrowed it down to two possible victims, Abraham and Glenn, but when reported sightings of Steven Yuen on set began to trickle in, I figured he was safe and being hidden from public view.
But then the rumors.
Two victims, the rumors said. And renowned spoiler sites began confirming these rumors as facts. And even leaked photos of both victims the day of the airing entered my mailbox. But still I wouldn't believe it.
Two victims make no sense.
The Lucille moment is such a pivotal one in the comic book. Not only does it highlight the end of a beloved original character, it introduces the horror of a new villain and marks the first time Rick is truly broken. His hubris is revealed and causes his fall. This is possible because of Glenn's death, someone who saved his life, someone who has been with him since the beginning, someone who was the heart and soul of the group.
Not to diminish the television Abraham, but he was never the "right hand man" that his comic counterpart became. He was at times comic relief, the voice of the obvious, and at times almost cartoonish. He was beloved, yes, but not in the way the comic Glenn nor the TV Glenn was.
Abraham's death by Lucille could have still been a pivotal moment, but instead of that iconic scene getting the respect it deserved, and the character getting the emotional response he deserved, it was completely diminished by the almost immediate and surprise death of Glenn, once again by Lucille. Two victims, one on top of the other, lessened the impact of the first death, the moment we viewers have been waiting months to see. Abraham's last stand and heroic facing his end was forgotten within moments and overshadowed by an even more emotional death, a death that every comic book fan had been waiting for and yet dreading at the same time. Even the cast reactions to the second death was more profound than Abraham's. In essence, Abraham's death became minimized.
It appeared to me that Abraham became IT as a "placeholder" or a red herring to distract and deceive the audience until the "real" death occurs. Once Negan fell on Abraham, the audience assumed Glenn was safe. All that foreshadowing of him with bats, his viewing the photos of Negan's victims on the wall, and his cheating death under a dumpster (WTF was that all about in hindsight?) were all just teases. Glenn survived. His TV character has taken a different route. He would live to see his baby born.
Then, just as the horror of Abraham's death starts to set in, just as we are about to mourn him and process how he accepted his fate, the story strays from the comic story line. Instead of the obedience such a head bashing would inspire, we were witness to an inexplicable moment of defiance on the part of Daryl who attacks Negan for taunting Rosita. Where the hell did that come from? Daryl tends to fly off the handle, but given what just happened I would think some thoughts of "oh shit, he just bashed my friend's skull in. Perhaps if one of us acts up, he'll do it again" might just pop up. Nope. Daryl goes suicide squad on Negan, but instead of getting the bat or even a crossbow himself, Negan turns on Glenn, giving him his comic book end frame by frame except it's in response to a Daryl outburst.
I'm a firm believe that Glenn deserved that iconic death. The impact of it brought Rick into complete submission in the comic book and is one of the most famous scenes in the series. The producers have teased us about it for two seasons, foreshadowing what could be his eventual end. But somehow, having it follow another death, having it not be as random, and having it be a result of Daryl's defiance didn't sit well with me. If Glenn was going to get his big moment, he should have gotten it all to himself, not at the tail end of a "fooled ya!" moment.
Likewise, if the producers saw fit to give Abraham that scene, then he too should have had the scene all to himself so that the impact of it could set in. Instead, his death was diluted and nearly forgotten after the "real" victim Glenn was killed.
The fact that the producers did this bait and switch after already making us wait half a year for the death reveal is unsettling and some would say was a jump the shark. They went for shock value and tricking the audience rather than for full impact. This is the first time I've seen the producers switch out quality for "gotcha." I gave them a pass on the cliffhanger gag figuring the payoff would be worth the wait, but it wasn't. They tricked us not once, but twice. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice…..
If the producers really wanted two victims, really wanted to make each death mean something, and really wanted to trick the audience into thinking Glenn was safe just to pull the rug out from under them, then they should have done what Dashiell Driscoll recommended in his article on the finale: "You know what would've been awesome and unexpected and perfect? If season six ended the way it should've, with us seeing Abraham die sans dumb cliffhanger, and then season seven opened with Glenn's death. It would've been really shocking!" That to me would have saved us all a lot of headache. It would have also provided us with time to mourn Abe properly, to digest the depravity of Negan and the situation Rick found himself in, and still could have given us the shock of Glenn's death on the return of the season. Each death would be a moment instead of both deaths being rammed into 10 minutes.
That all being said, the deaths themselves were well done. The gore, although criticized by some, was necessary to unsettle the audience and highlight that this villain is like none that Rick has ever seen before. It's not so much the presentation of the episode that upset me, but the structure of the episode and the intent of the producers to trick the viewers. When a series goes for "shock" rather than awe, that usually gets the label of "jump the shark." Of course, a shark is only jumped if the series suffers in ratings after the stunt is pulled, so time will tell if people will look back at those two deaths as the beginning of the end of a truly great series.

Homeward bound
Sort of...I consider Rochester my home, but my formative years were spent in Rushville, Indiana. (The picture is a view from the air.) According to Wikipedia, there were 5,595 people in Rushville as of the 2000 census. When I left town (1981), there were about 7,000 people there.
Some other facts of note from the 2000 census: The racial makeup of the city was 96.45% White, 1.58% African American, 0.20% Native American, 0.85% Asian, 0.05% Pacific Islander, 0.13% from other races, and 0.73% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 0.40% of the population.
There were 2,434 households, and the average household size was 2.39. The median income for a household in the city was $30,233, and the median income for a family was $36,646. Males had a median income of $30,127 versus $22,440 for females. About 8.1% of families and 11.0% of the population were below the poverty line, including 12.3% of those under age 18 and 12.0% of those age 65 or over.
Sounds like fun, huh?
In a few days, I'm going to visit the one high school friend I'm still in touch with, who now lives in Australia and is coming back to visit. She's a truly lovely person, and I can't wait to see her, but I am feeling somewhat traumatized about the thought of going back. I had some great high school teachers, and truly great piano and band teachers (married to each other), but otherwise, growing up there as a bisexual feminist Buddhist tree-hugging vegetarian progressive (even if the only one of those identities I realized at the time was feminist) was quite stifling.
Franklin just visited his parents in Indiana, and he seemed to survive just fine, but he had an amazing yarn store to make up for any lack of cultural diversity. I googled "yarn store Rushville Indiana" and came up with a quilting store that doesn't look like my style, although perhaps I'll check it out just in case!
As my lovely friend from Australia said after reading our classmate Monica Holloway's book, Driving with Dead People, "People in Rushville don't really want to see what's going on around them. They just go on as if everything is fine, even when it's clearly NOT."
Of course, our memories are filtered through the angst of adolescence, troubled families, and the death by suicide of one of our closest friends. And of course, people in Rushville, while not ethnically diverse, are just as diverse as anyone in their ability to deal with life's difficulties.
Nonetheless, rural isolation, a lack of social and cultural resources, relatively low incomes, and a dwindling population and economy add up to a less than ideal world for people to enact their highest and best potential.
At least that's how I remember it. I'll let you know what some 25 years have brought to the town when I return from the Crossroads of America.

I was recently able to try a great Salt and Pepper grinder set from Three Star Lions on Amazon. I love this set. My family use them daily. These are stylish and sleek in silver. Whole sea salt and peppercorns look so nice displayed in these large grinders.
I use pink Himalayan salt and multicolored peppercorns and they are so pretty. These grinders work so easily. They are easy to turn, and grinds in into a nice fine dust.They are well made and really easy to fill. This set would make a great house warming or wedding gift. They really dress up your countertop.
I received this product for free for my honest unbiased review

Recently the New York Assembly committees that oversee energy utilities, corporations, authorities and commissions held joint hearings on the NYISO. See Assembly Committees Hold Hearing to Discuss NYISO Practices and High Electric Prices. Evidence was received from McCullough Research pointing to high bidding that seemed unlikely to be based on sellers' marginal production costs, as spot market and competition advocates theorize. See McCullough Research, "New York Independent System Operators Market-Clearing Price Auction Is Too Expensive for New York", and New Yorkers Lost $2.2 Billion Because of NYISO Practices: The Debate Continues.
NYISO refused to provide information requested by the committees regarding the identity and anomalous bids of sellers in its electricity spot markets. The NYISO claims its internal rules, which have been approved by FERC, require secrecy about recent bids and complete "masking" of the identity of who, for example, regularly submits bids at the market maximum of $1,000/MWH, or who submitted more than 585,000 bids above $900/MWH from September 2007 to August 2008. See Data Discredits NYISO and PSC Defense of Spot Market Rate Demands; 12% of Bids Exceed $900, PULP Network March 31, 2009; and More Questions for the NYISO, PULP Network, April 9, 2009.
A Supreme Court decision issued this week in the context of state examination of federally chartered national banks, Cuomo v. Clearing House Association, L.L.C., contains an interesting historical discussion of the power of states to look into corporation matters, including those of federally regulated companies:
In 2005, Eliot Spitzer, Attorney General for the State of New York, sent letters to several national banks making a request "in lieu of subpoena" that they provide certain non-public information about their lending practices. ****The Supreme Court upheld the information request from the New York Attorney General -- even though federal law prohibits and preempts states from exercising any "visitorial" oversight of national banks -- because his request was not for visitorial information, but for state law enforcement purposes.
Historically, the sovereign's right of visitation over corporations paralleled the right of the church to supervise its institutions and the right of the founder of a charitable institution "to see that [his] property [was] rightly employed," 1 W. Blackstone, Commentaries on the Laws of England 469 (1765). By extension of this principle, "[t]he king [was] by law the visitor of all civil corporations," ibid. A visitor could inspect and control the visited institution at will. ****
A State was the "visitor" of all companies incorporated in the State, simply by virtue of the State's role as sovereign: The "legislature is the visitor of all corporations founded by it." Guthrie v. Harkness, 199 U. S. 148, 157 (1905) (internal quotation marks omitted).
This relationship between sovereign and corporation was understood to allow the States to use prerogative writs—such as mandamus and quo warranto—to exercise control "whenever a corporation [wa]s abusing the power given it, or, . . . or acting adversely to the public, or creating a nuisance." H. Wilgus, Private Corporations, in 8American Law and Procedure §157, pp. 224–225 (1910). State visitorial commissions were authorized to "exercise a general supervision" over companies in the State. I. Wormser, Private Corporations §80, pp. 100, 101, in 4 Modern American Law (1921).****
[fn] As Justice Story's opinion in Dartmouth College stated, visitors of charitable corporations had "power . . . to correct all irregularities and abuses,"4 Wheat., at 673, which would surely include operations in violation of law. But whether or not visitors of charitable corporations had law-enforcement powers, the powers that they did possess demonstrate that visitation is different from ordinary law enforcement.
The Supreme Court's decision is a reminder that there is no real barrier to New York State exercising "visitorial" powers over the NYISO to obtain information witheld from the public that would aid in ascertaining whether the NYISO is acting in the public interest for the people of the State. Unlike the national bank case discussed above, there is no federal statutory bar to prevent New York State from exercising its visitorial powers over the NYISO, as a New York not for profit organization. This inquiry could be conducted by legislative committees, by the PSC, (if it posessed the requisite curiosity and fortitude), or by the Attorney General. Also, based on results of its investigation, the legislature could find it in the public interest to reorganize the NYISO, which has a self-perpetuating board and a structure tilted toward producers and sellers. For example, after the spot market manipulation in California, the California ISO was made public benefit corporation, with its board directors appointed by the Governor, and confirmed by the state senate. See NYISO Governance, PULP Network, June 18, 2008.
Also, if NYISO persists in its refusal to release information to the state legislators about anomalous rates demanded by sellers in its markets, it could frame for judicial review the issue whether such secrecy is contrary to the Federal Power Act, which requires sellers to file all rates and rate changes publicly, and in advance of changes. FERC approved NYISO rules that
- allow hourly unfiled changes
- allow sellers to charging multiple and wildly varying rates for power made the same hour from the same power plant,
- mask the identities of sellers to whom FERC gives so called "market-based rate" permission and delay for months the release of masked data.

Earlier this year I opened a big can of worms. All his life my father kept significant correspondence which he'd received, letters of special import sent by friends of special closeness. I found them after his death seven years ago, sorted into old brown envelopes and piled up in two drawers of his old pedestal desk. They were carefully labelled – with the names of individual correspondents, or "School", "Oxford", "Army", "Senior colleagues" and so on.
I couldn't bring myself to read them. For a start there were so many, and in so many different hands. More to the point, we were all but estranged by the time of his death, and I just didn't want to know. But in the last couple of years I have been writing a book which deals in part with the memory of him. He's pretty much the pantomime villain of the piece, which has been hard to write – so hard that eventually I became blocked and couldn't write any more. It was towards the end of this writer's block that I opened the heavy archive box which now contains all his letters, and started to read.
Charles Henry Salter at his desk, c1938
They are fascinating! They cover his entire adult life and of course show sides of him which a son never sees of his father – the non-parental side, the adult among peers, the friend of friends, the intellectual colleague. What emerges is of course a much more rounded picture of the man than the one-dimensional cartoon I have been sketching in words so far. Will I have to start writing my book all over again? I can't un-know this new full-colour picture I now have of the man I've been painting in black and white.
But I realise that it's my memory of the parent which I am writing, not a biography of the whole man. The letters provide a welcome counterpoint to my own perception of him, but they don't negate my own experience as his son. I'm glad to have them. There are, quite apart from the personal insights into his character, many delights amongst them: many characterful correspondents and many gripping stories on their pages.
In the summer of 1939 my father was having the time of his life. He had won an unprecedented two Chancellor's Prizes in his first year at Oxford University, and he spent the summer with a group of student friends on holiday in Brittany. It was obviously a very vivid time for him, although he never mentioned it even when I twice holidayed in Brittany myself.
Pontivy, where my father and his friends spent the summer of 1939
Dad kept letters from many of those who were there that last summer before the war, the summer he came of age. He joined the party in Brittany after spending a few days east of Paris with a French friend, Jeanne, who was also a fellow student at Oxford; and a letter from her soon afterwards sets the pre-war tone of gaiety, fantasy and youth:
To the gentle knight Charles Salter,
Beautiful sweet friend,
I am happy and reassured that you have received the magic gold ring which I sent you before you left me for Brittany. It reminds me, the arrival of the ring and its messenger (in this case the postman, which is horribly prosaic, I'm afraid) of the ring which sweet Tristan sent from Brittany to Iseult his beloved, and of the queen's oath, and it makes me give thanks to heaven that you, sweet sire, and I did not exchange similar oaths, although I ponder with despair on the distance which separates us.
Tell Elaine of the White Hands, if she is still near you, that the love which I carry for you is still not so great that I have none left for her, and receive, sweet sire, a tender platonic kiss from
your friend
My father never felt so vigorously alive as he did that summer. He and Elaine were something of an item, and in a later letter Elaine (who was also in Brittany that summer) declares to my father that she "would rather be your mistress once than marry a thousand Bobs." (Bob was Dad's rival for her affections.)
In the end she did neither. And other letters from the same circle of friends show that just below the frivolous surface, war was on everyone's mind.
Next week's blog is about two letters from the friends' host in Brittany, written in 1939 and 1946, which illustrate perfectly and harrowingly what happened between the writing of them.

A Kentuckian on a journey. . . to serve a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter- Day Saints, taking the gospel to the people of the Roseville, California; English- Speaking Mission.
Alma 7:13 (My Mission Scripture)
"Now the Spirit knoweth all things; nevertheless the Son of God suffereth according to the flesh that he might take upon him the sins of his people, that he might blot out their transgressions according to the power of his deliverance; and now behold, this is the testimony which is in me." -Alma 7:13

Ale-8, Kentucky Basketball, and Family
I am so glad to be back in the Bluegrass State in the nation of Blue & White. Leaving my friends in Rexburg, Idaho at BYU-Idaho was one of the hardest things to do. I know that I am suppose to be in Kentucky with the "mormon" family, my family before I leave on my mission on April 18th. I know that leaving Rexburg when I did was what I was suppose to be doing but it def. wasn't easy to leave all those amazing wonderful people but watching the Kentucky Basketball in Kentucky is fantastic! Ale-8 is as good as it always as been and the Family... yeah we don't have it all but together we have EVERYTHING we could possibly need. Christian is still on his mission, Jonathan and I are preparing. Lauren is married. WOOHOO!!!! Michael is graduating soon and going to UNLV! Kathryn and Elizabeth are having fun being little and it is so good to be back and in the mix of all the chaos again! Its crazy but its good to be normal, as normal as anyone can be.
I have a month before I report to the MTC (Missionary Training Center) in Provo, Utah on April 18th but I am enjoying my time in doing nothing and spending time with those I love and care about. It has been an amazing experience in preparing to get onto this mission to Roseville, California. It will not be easy, it will not be joyful at all times, I am probably going to hate my comp. at some times but I know that it will at be worth it and the Lord will help me through the struggles of a mission and dealing with people who I need to find who the Lord has prepared. I hope that many of you will be willing to write and keep in contact, that would be amazing and much appreciated!
Thank you y'all for all the support!

Interim Peru Central School Superintendent is looking at an array of ways to overcome a $1 million deficit, including moving sixth graders back to elementary school.
Peru Central School is considering moving the sixth grade from the middle school to the intermediate school in an effort to save $200,000.
The move would also benefit students, according to research.
That change is among other cost-savings the school district is considering as it tackles a tight 2012-13 spending plan.
"We are at a point in time when like many of the state's rural school districts we are now entering the fourth extraordinarily challenging budget season," said Interim Superintendent A. Paul Scott. "We will find ways to respond to the financial environment."
At this point, it appears Peru Central School may need to identify roughly $1 million in cost reductions, to take effect July 1 forward.
In some certification areas, entire positions will be subject to elimination, such as if the district requires fewer K-6 class sections next school year. In some other certification areas, the least senior colleague within a particular certification area may be subjected to reduced employment.
A few part time positions might no longer be required.
Some of the reductions are as much a result of declining enrollment as cost reductions.
Prospective areas of consideration for cost reductions include administrative, operations supervision, transportation, clerical, custodian, pupil personnel services, K-6 elementary grades and various K-12 and 7-12 content areas.
Once the school board discusses a preliminary list of possible reductions, Scott will be in a position to begin scheduling employment-related meetings with the district employees who might be impacted by cost reductions. Some of the reduced employed could occur through attrition.
"We are also looking at taking the sixth-grade program, which is the first year of our middle school program, and returning it to our intermediate school," Scott said. "Part of the focus is cost reduction, because it would allow us to reduce costs by $200,000. It would mean starting next school year if we redistribute how students are enrolled on campus in terms of grade span, we would be in a position to administer programs with one less administrator."
Besides cost savings, Scott said according to research it could be beneficial for students to remain one more year in elementary school.
"It turns out there are benefits to that," he said. "We are not the only school district across the nation and state that looks at returning grade six to intermediate."
Early 20th Century American schools placed sixth graders in elementary school, which ended in eighth grade. After World War I, more schools began ending elementary school with sixth grade. In the later part of the 20th Century, millions of sixth graders were moved to middle schools, which most often had grades six through eight.
Today, 75 percent of sixth graders nationwide attend middle school.
Yet sixth grade is a major crossroads in a child's development, Scott said, and it would seem important to place them in the proper environment during this period.
The Terry Sanford Institute of Public Policy at Duke university examined whether sixth grade should be part of elementary or middle school.
It noted that a sixth grader is elementary school is among the oldest students there but in the middle school is the youngest with daily exposure to older adolescents.
The study found that sixth graders attending middle schools are more likely to be cited for discipline problems that those attending elementary schools. The higher infraction rates by sixth graders who are placed in middle school persist at least through ninth grade.
The study concluded that there is a strong argument for separating sixth graders from older adolescents.
Scott said that change would also result in cost reductions in terms of classifications of positions.
"We can do the redistribution with less cost to our school community."

Later that same afternoon, Louis and Joe are sitting at Jones Beach. Louis tells him this used to be a homosexual haunt. He is feeling guilty that Prior caught AIDS, when he himself took more risks. Joe says he loves Louis, but Louis does not believe him.
Louis is still bothered that Joe is a Mormon. He mentions the special underwear Joe wears as part of his faith. Louis says he wants to see prior again. He says he cannot understand love. Joe starts taking off his underclothes, which he calls the "second skin." Louis re-dresses him, and Joe says that Louis needs to go and work things out for himself.

In Minneapolis, Minnesota, at 6600 Unity North
There was one gray-shingled Donnay rambler
with newly planted sparse grass
and three spindly maple trees
and a driveway of gravel, not black-topped yet.
Inside was a family growing bigger
There were now four brothers
There was the same mother
There was the father who still kissed her
And the same sister,
And a basement and a main floor with Mom's shag carpet of green.
Hello new gray-shingled house
Hello same man and same spouse
Hello family growing bigger
Hello pretty Barbie dolls
and loud "Captain May I" calls.
Hello snow days' surprises
and snow drifts kids' sizes!
Hello neighborhood full of boys
and Mr. Softee's ice cream joys.
Hello Twin Lakes and Theodore Worth.
Hello Fun Fair at St. Al's Church.
Hello, people saying "borrow me"
and Mom's shag carpet of green.
Hello new basement stairs.
Hello scarey meal called "hot dish."
Hello to more birthdays–now with freshly caught fish.

Check out these WLAN articles, blogs, news of interest (and stuff that I personally liked…) for February 2014. If you know something I missed, drop me a note and I'll include it for next month. Enjoy!
(And don't forget: http://www.gcatewifi.wordpress.com has the best and most comprehensive WLAN blogroll on the web today! Bookmark it and check it often….)
- Wireless LAN Professionals Summit 2014 (#WLPC) was an incredible event. (I will be there next year!) Congrats to Keith Parsons and team for a great inaugural WLPC conference! Session videos are forthcoming and I will update with the link when available (These videos will be a "WLAN training class" in themselves and worth the investment to watch every one!)
- Aruba just announced their first outdoor 802.11ac access point (AP270) (http://www.arubanetworks.com/products/access-points/270-series/) Article from eWeek says they are "easy to install". Anyone able to confirm that?
- Aerohive Networks announced it was going public (http://www.forbes.com/sites/alexkonrad/2014/02/13/aerohive-networks-files-for-ipo/) Forbes article here talks some about financial challenges Aerohive is having (not too uncommon for a growing company). We'll see if this IPO provides the needed resources for Aerohive to continue with their share in the enterprise WLAN arena.
- Chameleon Wi-Fi virus attack (http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-26352439) Although this probably affects only home/SOHO Wi-Fi networks, it is something to be aware of (wouldn't you love to have a nickel for every time someone asked for Wi-Fi assistance on their home network?). Coupled to this was another story about autonomous Wi-Fi vendors (Linksys, Netgear) leaving a port open (TCP 32764) so there was always a 'backdoor' into a home router. (http://arstechnica.com/security/2014/01/backdoor-in-wireless-dsl-routers-lets-attacker-reset-router-get-admin/) So, the fix is to make sure you have the "latest and greatest" firmware on your SOHO router and pray this fixes it! Or, flash your home router to DD-WRT (my choice!). Or, use an enterprise class router on your home network (not a first choice for my friends asking me about this…).
- Kumu Networks have announced full-duplex radios, breaking one of the fundamental rules in wireless! (http://www.kumunetworks.com/). Check out how they do it, using "self-cancellation interference technologies": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1GFCSMyLhfA. So the big questions are: Will this dramatically change Wi-Fi and how? Will vendors readily adopt this technology? When will we see a 'pilot' AP and client that uses this technology?
- Lastly, from the ROTFL WLAN Network — Every group project has team members like this: (http://www.funnywallphotos.com/every-group-project-2/) Oh, how true it is!
Until next time, have a safe and tech-filled WLAN month!
