A computer assisted framework based on the Bloom-Anderson taxonomy for teaching mathematics in early primary years
The twenty-first century has so far seen rapid developments in the domains of technology. The use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) has become very common in all aspects of our daily life. Within education, the development of new Information and Communications Technologies has resulted in significant changes in the way that teachers teach and children learn in school.
The purpose of this project is to design a framework for effective use of ICT in mathematics education. This framework will be based on current pedagogical views of mathematics education and the new Australian Curriculum. An outcome of the research will be the development of appropriate software and multimedia content based on the framework. The software and multimedia documents will be used for teaching primary school students and the framework will be further refined based on the experience gained.
With the world moving rapidly into digital media and information, the ways in which learning activities in mathematics can be created and delivered are changing. There is potential for mathematical achievement to be improved in schools through the effective design and use of ICTs, especially computer based multimedia educational applications. However, it is argued that not many educational applications fit well in Australian primary school settings to facilitate mathematics learning in a manner that is considered to be pedagogically appropriate by teachers. Hence, there is a need to design an educational framework based on accepted pedagogical approaches before developing any educational software and multimedia content.

text: In Greater Clark, we believe each student at every grade level needs to acquire some key skills to succeed in school and the workplace. As a result, we have developed district-wide initiatives focusing on making students highly proficient four significant skill areas: character, reading, writing, and math. Our educators work on these skills every day in every class at every grade level. We believe that the level of a student's success in school is directly related to how proficient students are in each of these skill areas. Students with these skills will not only perform well on school-based assessments, but also on state and national assessments as well. Perhaps more importantly, students with these skills will be accepted to a post-secondary opportunity of their choosing that best fits their passion and interests. In addition, students strong of character with highly proficient skills in reading, writing, and math will greatly improve the quality of our community.College & Career Readiness IMPACT Project Lead the Way

Well, this is the first in what will be a documentation of my mothers recipes. You will need the finest fresh ingredients, fresh herbs (none of this dried rubbish) and plenty of practice if you want it to taste as good.
This is her recipe for a SUGO (pasta sauce) with Polpette (meatballs) and Braciole (Rolled beef), that even as I write about it has me salivating in anticipation. It is NOT for vegetarians (sorry) because to get the sauce to taste this good it needs the infusion of the different meats!
You will notice that there are no precise measures against some of the ingredients. Basically that's because mum never measures anything out and does it as much by "intuition and feel" as anything else. That art cannot be conveyed in a document so you will just have to practice till you get it right :) That said, I intend to video her making it at some stage so I can upload some pictures and video stuff to YouTube to help you all out (and I can watch the master at work too!)
General Ingredients:
Fresh Parsley (finely chopped)
Fresh Basil (finely chopped)
Garlic (several cloves finely chopped not crushed - These will be used in the polpette, Braciole and Sugo)
Fresh Grated Pecorino cheese (Parmesan or Grana Padana will also be fine)
Salt and Pepper
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Additional Ingredients for the Polpette (Meatballs) and Braciole (rolled beef)
Minced beef and minced lamb for Polpette
Fine Breadcrumbs (use 1 slice of fresh bread for 2 people)
Eggs (use 1 egg per person)
Thin cut fresh beef (for Braciole)
Additional Ingredients for the Pasta Sauce (Sugo)
Passata di pommodoro (Passata is made from ripe tomatoes that have been puréed and sieved to remove the skin and seeds). Don't get the Passata with added Basil or garlic etc, just the plain stuff)
Tinned Plum Tomatoes (mum blends these)
1/4 of an Onion (chopped finely)
Wash your hands
Put the minced beef and minced lamb into a bowl.
Add half a clove of chopped garlic to the bowl.
Add some chopped parsley, chopped basil, some grated pecorino cheese and some salt and pepper to the bowl.
Add the breadcrumb to the bowl
Now beat the eggs and add them to the bowl
Mix together all those ingredients with your clean hands. Roll them into small/medium balls. I like them slightly bigger than golf balls but you can do them any size you wish really (I'd advise against soccer ball size to be honest ! :D)
Once the Polpette are formed leave them to one side whilst you make the Braciole.
Take a piece of thin cut beef and put it on a clean surface. Mum tenderises the meat a little with what looks like a wooden mallet with spikes on!
Put a little cheese, garlic, parsley, basil and salt and pepper on top of the beef. Don't put too much in there as it will be difficult to roll (in the next step)
Roll the beef (like you roll a carpet) so it looks like a little bit like a sausage!. Pin it together with cocktail sticks. Some Italians choose to hold it together with string or thread but its much less hassle with cocktail sticks as they are easy to remove when you eat them!
Repeat the process with as many pieces of beef as you want :)
In a non stick saucepan (or non stick deep frying pan) pour about 3 or 4 tablespoons of Olive oil and gently fry the polpette and braciole so that the meat is browned.
You will need to turn the meat frequently so that it doesn't burn.
You are not trying to fully cook the meat (just seal it) because it will cook fully in the pasta sauce later
Once the meat is nearly browned add the chopped onions and chopped garlic to the frying pan and slightly brown the onions. You are not trying to cook the onions here fully, but simply soften them.
In a large saucepan add the browned meat and onions you fried earlier, the passata di pommodoro, the blended plum tomatoes and some parsley. Also add a little salt and pepper. DO NOT ADD THE BASIL YET.
Bring it gently to the boil.
Gently simmer it for an hour or so stirring every 20 minutes or so. If the sauce seems too thick add a little water to thin it out a little.
After an hour add the basil for the remaining 15 minutes or so. Adding the basil from the start makes the sauce quite bitter so that's why mum adds it near the end.
The sauce will be ready when the oils from the meat sit on top of the pasta sauce. This usually takes about an hour and a quarter.
You can choose whatever pasta you prefer but for me this goes excellently with Penne, Rigatoni, Penne Rigate, Lumache etc. The reason for this is that the tube shape nature of the pasta holds the sauce in it and it tastes ace!
Cook your pasta in boiling water (with a little salt) to taste. I like "al dente" which means that the pasta is not overcooked and sloppy but still has some "bite" to it. Try to time it so that it is ready when the sauce is ready, that way you don't overcook your sauce.
Drain your pasta and put it back in the saucepan you cooked it in (without any water of course!). Add a little of the pasta sauce to the pasta and mix well so that the pasta is uniformly coloured. You don't need alot here, just a few spoonfuls to colour the pasta at this stage.
Add your pasta to your bowls and ladle some sauce on top. Add some grated Pecorino cheese to the top.
At this stage you can go one of two ways ;)
1) Serve the Braciole and Polpette at this point with the pasta
2) do what we do! Serve the meat after you have finished the pasta in a separate plate with a side salad consisting of lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers.
The salad dressing we do consists simply of Olive Oil, Salt and Vinegar and tastes fabulous.
I hope you have enjoyed reading this how to and have had some good success making Mama Todino's Sugo. You make not make it exactly how she does (and don't expect to first time!) but with practice you will get good at it.
For those that want to know, Mum comes from a small village in the Puglia region called "San Paolo Di Civitate".
Please post your comments and experiences of trying the recipe and any questions you may have.
Have fun
Buon Appetito
Oooh, that looks good. I like the Braciole section, that sounds good.
The only ingredient I might not be able to get my hands on is ground lamb. I just can't seem to find that here in Northern California.
Fantastic write-up. Will give this a try soon.
Can't wait to try! Thanks and look forward to more.
Wannes. You can do the Polpette entirely out of beef should you wish. Mum said that adding different variety of meat (Pork, Beef, Lamb) to the sauce makes it taste better. That's why she suggested making the Polpette from two different types of ground meat.
Now that summer seems to have gone away again, I could do with some comfort food. Thanks.
Thanks Tino, and thanks to your mom!
I quickly read the recipe (I have not much time) and it all seems perfect and tasty, as it surely will confirm our chefs Spiceworks.
I appreciate your origin from Puglia. This is a region rich in traditions and flavors, which in ancient Rome was considered the granary of the peninsula.
If you want to add a detail, you may indicate a good wine to drink with pasta (in moderation). Ciao
We always drank the family made wine. In truth it wasn't much cop but it went down OK :)
I like a light wine with pasta. In fact I think a Rose Zinfandel works a treat with this :) Then again my wine tastes are not conventional ;)
Well well I read the recipe.
Could you confirm if your mom uses a teaspoon of sugar added to tomato sauce to make it less acidic?
The Zifandel is a type of grape variety originally from Puglia (Primitivo) and fits in well with this recipe, while other more full-bodied wines (eg Negramaro) are matched to fried or fatty meats.
You have described a great meal of typical Mediterranean diet.
Thanks :-)
hey Tino .. i ve just come back from Italia and this is making want to go back .. when's the next Todino's spicecorp ?? :o)
I tried this recipe over the weekend, and it's easily the best Italian meal I've made – with great flavours like this it's easy to see how Italian food has conquered the world. Thanks for sharing!
Did you make the Polpette and Braciole Sam??
Hey Stef. I'll be staying over in Notts next week (Monday through Thursday) so perhaps we can meet for an espresso then?
I will try this.

Areas of Application
This White Paper explores such topics as:
The Internet of Things opens new opportunities for persons with disabilities and seniors, giving them an unprecedented control on their environment. Home automation already provides tools for more independent living, and new applications appear on the market for health care, transportation, education and employment. In the years to come, standardization, security and privacy will have to be addressed by industry, government and users.
» Order a hard copy
» Press Release
The M-Enabling Summit (5-6 December 2011), Global Summit and Showcase for Mobile Applications and Services for Seniors and Persons with Disabilities, is the first global program solely dedicated to participants in the emerging ecosystem for mobile accessible and assistive technologies, applications and services.
Visit event website at: http://www.m-enabling.com/
Mobile communications have become in less than two decades omnipresent in all countries, reaching out to the most isolated and underserved populations in developed and developing countries alike. At the end of 2011, there were more than 5.9 billion mobile-cellular telephone subscriptions. By the same point in 2013, we expect such subscriptions to outnumber the global population.
In the midst of this telecommunication revolution, however, populations of senior citizens and persons living with disabilities have been left out due to accessibility factors: complex human interfaces difficult to understand and activate for persons with cognitive impairments or learning disabilities, lack of alternative communications for persons living with low vision, blind, hard of hearing or deaf, or, quite often handset ergonomics too difficult for persons with physical disabilities such as dexterity or mobility limitations.
This report contains references to the new legislative and regulatory framework set by the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, an important resource for policy makers. It also covers practical elements required for a successful implementation of those programs and policies.

Read the Press Release associated with this publication.
In order to promote the business practices required to provide accessible and assistive mobile equipment and services to persons with disabilities, G3ict requested that AT&T opens its doors to review and document its internal R&D and business processes for the benefit all interested parties. Read more.
The original Survey of User Needs (SUN1.0) was conducted from 2001-2006, with more than 1200 people responding to that survey. In 2007, the SUN was revised and data collection began with version 2.0 in April 2007.
Compiled by G3ict, this presentation was given at CSUN 24th Annual International Conference on Technology and Persons with Disabilities, held in Los Angeles (March 16-21, 2009).
This book was developed based upon the proceedings of the first Global Forum of the G3ict, the Global Initiative for Inclusive ICTs, held at the United Nations headquarters in New York on March 26, 2007. It presents the perspective of multiple stakeholders from all regions of the world and from a variety of backgrounds: industry, policy makers, international institutions, academia, and non-governmental organizations representing persons living with disabilities. Additional editorial content was contributed to G3ict and included in this first edition from meetings held in Russia, Korea, and the United States during the Spring of 2007.
With 129 countries having signed the Convention as of May 2008, the scope of legislative and regulatory work which will take place over the next few years in matters of ICT accessibility is considerable. This first edition will be the first reference made available to policy makers and their many constituents to facilitate the process of identifying the best path towards effective implementation of the Convention.

Dental Care of Boca Raton
Call (561) 487-4440
You've undoubtedly seen toothpaste commercials talking about the dreaded gingivitis, but you probably assumed it would never affect you. The truth is that gingivitis is the most common periodontal disease in the county, affecting 90 percent of the population. Yes, it's even a problem right here in Boca Raton.
Gingivitis is an infection of the gums caused by bacteria that form plaque. When you visit Dr. David Kagan on a regular basis, the professional team at Dental Care of Boca Raton is able to remove the small amounts of plaque that build up between visits. But when left to accumulate, plaque increases, and harmful bacteria grows.
The problem begins when these bacteria release toxins that result in inflammation of the gum tissue. Dr. Kagan will tell you that, if not properly treated, gingivitis may progress to periodontitis, a periodontal disease in which you may eventually lose teeth.
The best solution is to prevent gingivitis by making regular appointments with the friendly, experienced staff at Dental Care of Boca Raton in Boca Raton. If it strikes, however, Dr. Kagan can effectively treat this disease before it causes damage. To set up an appointment, call (855) 889-2459 today.
Brush Your Teeth Daily!
For good oral health, brush your teeth twice a day with a good fluoride toothpaste!
How Old Is Your Toothbrush?
Replace your toothbrush every 3 or 4 months, or sooner if the bristles are frayed. A worn toothbrush won't do a good job of cleaning your teeth.
A Healthy Diet Makes a Healthy Smile!
For healthy teeth and gums, eat a balanced diet and limit between-meal snacks. Go easy on sugary treats!

An unsupported demand letter cannot constitute an actual attempt by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) to engage in the required pre-lawsuit conciliation process, according to a federal judge in Ohio. EEOC v. OhioHealth Corp.(S.D.Ohio June 29, 2015). In one of the first cases to review the sufficiency of EEOC conciliation efforts after that review was authorized by the U.S. Supreme Court in its April Mach Mining decision, it is clear that courts are not willing to rubber stamp the EEOC's purported conciliation efforts and will delay the lawsuit until actual conciliation takes place.
Insufficient Conciliation Efforts Often Frustrate Employers
If the EEOC finds reasonable cause to believe that employment discrimination occurred, it is required to try to eliminate the alleged discrimination through informal conference and conciliation with the employer. The goal is to get the employer to voluntarily comply with federal discrimination laws and resolve the alleged discrimination privately. In fact, the conciliation process is a necessary precondition to the EEOC filing a discrimination lawsuit against the employer. The EEOC is prohibited from suing the employer until after its conciliation efforts have failed.
At times, employers have been frustrated by a lack of real conciliation efforts, particularly in cases where the EEOC seems to prefer going to court rather than settling with the employer. The Mach Miningdecision was a win for employers as it allows an employer to ask a judge to conduct a limited review of the EEOC's conciliation efforts before a lawsuit goes forward.
EEOC's Affidavit on Its Conciliation Efforts
The Supreme Court had explained in Mach Mining that a sworn affidavit from the EEOC describing its conciliation efforts would usually suffice to show that it had met its obligations. Many who analyzed that statement feared that an EEOC affidavit would effectively end the employer's challenge to the sufficiency of the EEOC's conciliation efforts, resulting in an empty judicial review. But Judge Frost's decision out of the federal court in the Southern District of Ohio shows that is not the case.
In this case, the EEOC submitted an affidavit that stated that the EEOC had issued a reasonable cause determination letter that invited the parties to join "in reaching a just resolution of this matter" and stating that "conciliation of this matter has now begun." The affidavit further states that over one month, the EEOC communicated with the employer, OhioHealth, including sending a conciliation proposal which was rejected. The EEOC then sent OhioHealth a final letter stating that conciliation efforts had not been successful.
OhioHealth countered the EEOC's affidavit by providing its own declaration which stated that the EEOC had made a take-it-or-leave-it demand and failed to provide any information to back up its demand. Even though the EEOC's determination letter had indicated that a commission representative would prepare a dollar amount that included lost wages and benefits, applicable interest and any appropriate attorney fees and costs, no such calculation was ever provided by the EEOC to OhioHealth. OhioHealth stated that it remained ready and willing to negotiate but that the EEOC instead declared that conciliation efforts had failed.
Judge Frost ruled that the EEOC's "bookend" letters – first declaring the conciliation process open and then closed -- did not constitute an actual attempt at conciliation. He wrote that without the EEOC providing the calculation of the charging party's damages to OhioHealth, the parties could not shape their positions and the "conciliation process could have been nothing but a sham." The judge ordered that the EEOC's lawsuit against OhioHealth be stayed for 60 days while the EEOC engaged in good faith conciliation.
Judge Frost went on to offer a cautionary note to the EEOC. He was disturbed by the EEOC's statements that it simply would not reach a private resolution of this matter via conciliation and that only a public resolution would be possible. He admonished the EEOC, stating that its position was "ridiculous" and defied the statutory scheme, binding case law, the court and common sense. He wrote that if the EEOC failed to engage in good faith efforts at conciliation as ordered, the court would impose all available consequences, including contempt and dismissal of the lawsuit. Pretty strong words indeed!
Lessons for Employers
Although this is only one court's review of one conciliation process, employers should be pleased that theMach Mining decision may have teeth, with courts taking a serious look at the actual conciliation efforts being made. If faced with a reasonable cause determination from the EEOC (and assuming you do not want to go to court), make certain to engage in conciliation by responding to the EEOC's communications. If the EEOC makes a settlement demand, ask for the calculation of damages that supports the demand. Remain ready and willing to negotiate and document that willingness in writing. And if the EEOC files a lawsuit against you without first making real conciliation efforts, consider seeking a stay of the case by asserting that the EEOC failed to meet a condition precedent to filing the lawsuit.

Guiuliani does have a very liberal approach but that does not mean you shouldn't vote for him. You should vote for the candidate who is the closest to what you want for the direction of this country. If he is up against a very conservative Republican then the voting is going to be very split.
A majority of people I've met in my lofe fall into a socially liberal, fiscally conservative mindset. Not to say that perfectly describes Guiuliani, but beings socially liberal is a general trend that's probably for the better. Government should stay out of a lot of social issues, and social attitudes should have little to do with candidate selection.
An American has the right to vote for whomever he or she would like to. One can say that a person is wrong for voting a certain way, but more often than not that person's opinion will be clouded with what Orwell called, "the smelly little orthodoxies contending for our souls."
Thousands of people will vote for Guiuliani and thousands of people will vote against him. his socially liberal attitudes shouldn't necessarily cause you to vote against him, especially if you agree. However, if you have a different opinion that's matched by another candidate, then you should consider voting for that person.
It is so uncommon for us to have truly caring and compassionate politicians. Guiuliani may have some attitudes that align with social liberalism's, but I do not believe that is a reason not to vote for him. If anything, it is an excellent reason to vote for him. Guiuliani did a great job in New York and he can do a great job for the rest of the country.

washingtonpost.com/ Over nine years after its launch, New Horizons' first images of Pluto have arrived
SHAFAQNA (International Shia News Association)- New Horizons has spent nine years approaching Pluto, the only "planet" in our solar system (okay, okay it's a dwarf planet) that hasn't been visited by a spacecraft yet. It's going to be another 99 days or so (check the countdown) until New Horizons sends back pictures of Pluto that are better than any The Hubble has ever taken, and another 60 days after that until the spacecraft actually gets to Pluto.
But today we have the first goodies of what's sure to be an exciting space mission: In honor of the late astronomer (and Pluto discoverer) Clyde Tombaugh's birthday, NASA has released the first photos sent back by New Horizons, taken on Jan. 25 and Jan. 27 with the spacecraft's telescopic Long-Range Reconnaissance Imager.
Pluto and Charon (the largest of its five moons) are pictured. The dwarf planet and its largest moon are tidally locked: They face each other, spinning around a common axis like ice dancers holding hands.
New Horizons was still over 126 million miles away from Pluto when the first picture was taken. Traveling at a speed of 31,000 miles per hour, it was 1.5 million miles closer for the second shot. Still, the pictures are rather fuzzy. But they're a tantalizing glimpse of what's to come.
"Pluto is finally becoming more than just a pinpoint of light," Hal Weaver, New Horizons project scientist at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) in Laurel, Md., said in a statement. "LORRI has now resolved Pluto, and the dwarf planet will continue to grow larger and larger in the images as New Horizons spacecraft hurtles toward its targets. The new LORRI images also demonstrate that the camera's performance is unchanged since it was launched more than nine years ago."
In a Reddit Ask Me Anything session on Wednesday, the mission team explained that Pluto will start looking like a planet — as opposed to a bright, star-like blur — a few weeks before the closest approach on July 14th.

A girl named Courntey saved a horse from a wild fire by riding the horse 5 miles with no saddle, briddle or bit. This story is awesome and also amazing! ~Declan

Girl's five-mile ride saves horse from blaze
By Chris Jones The Norman Transcript
NORMAN — Editor's Note: Earlier this year, then 14-year-old Cortney Townsend, came to the rescue of a 16-year-old Ohio girl whom she had never met. Veronica Llewellyn of Wadsworth, Ohio, arrived in Oklahoma after an 1,100-mile trip to compete in the 2011 Grand National and World Championship Morgan Horse Show, only to find that her horse, Rebel, was sick and wouldn't be able to compete. Cortney had been preparing Gulfwind Wild Finale, know as Rocky, for competition, but she was not showing at that time. Rocky and Llewellyn made a winning combination and captured the Low Working Hunter Reserve World Champion title, and also won the Grand National Hunter Seat Equitation 17 and Under Over Fences class and were a strong third in the AMHA Over Fences Medal Class.
Gulfwind Wild Finale "Rocky" is a champion, high strung and not easily loaded into a horse trailer.
In the midst of wildfires and 113-degree heat, Cortney Townsend made a harrowing five-mile ride to get Rocky away from danger.
Cortney began the hot and windy morning of Aug. 3 at Celtic Cross Equestrian Center in Norman, where she volunteers and trains for the 2012 Grand National and World Championship Morgan Horse Show.
It was about noon when Cortney said she, her trainer Marilee Tussing, and Mike Bomesberger, the barn manager smelled smoke.
"We saw white smoke, then it turned black, and it was coming closer," Cortney said. "We began moving horses by horse trailers to Thunderbird Stables."
It was a frantic race for a time as Marilee Tussing, owner of Celtic Cross, contacted owners to alert them of the fire, and they began moving the 20 horses, among them two pregnant Clydesdale mares.
Smoke and fire seemed to surround them.
"The fire was coming straight at us at Thunderbird and we had to move again," Cortney said. "Rocky has trouble loading and he wouldn't get in the trailer. I either had to leave Rocky or ride him to the barn at Thunder Valley Ranch on 108th St."
She called her grandparents, Edward and Betty Edwards of Norman, and told them what she planned to do.
"I was scared," Betty Edwards said. "Cortney wouldn't leave that horse for anything."
The grandparents knew Cortney was in danger but were unable to help her because by the time they were aware of the situation Highway 9 had closed. They said they began to pray.
Fleeing the Fires
"I had no saddle, no bridle or bit," Cortney said. "Rocky was really nervous, and all I had was a rope and his halter. That was it, and there were cars all around me on Highway 9. It was like the world's gone mad, and I thought, don't look back, just keep going forward."
They stopped once for shade and water, but Cortney said it seemed to make things worse. A person with a horse trailer offered to help, though Cortney said she knew Rocky wouldn't get in.
"I thought that ride would never end," Cortney said.
At Thunder Valley Ranch there was water, grass and a short time to run in the pasture.
The respite was short lived as the wind shifted and they had to keep moving. This time Rocky, the hardheaded champion who likes to show off in the show ring, cooperated.
He got in the horse trailer and was transported to Robinson Equestrian Center in Oklahoma City where he is staying until training begins again at Celtic Cross Equestrian, where the arena is the only thing left standing.
The only recognizable items left from the fire are burned bits and stirrups, and the melted remains of Tussing's grandmother's china.
"We got all of our people out, all the horses, dogs and even the barn cats," Tussing said. Once we get water, fences and hay we will have our barn family back together again."
Tussing said her riding school is dedicated to equestrian education and the glory of God, and things will continue.
"I am exhausted right now, but I have to keep going," she said. "I am a music teacher at Southgate Elementary School in Moore. I have been there 31 years, and my music life and farm life make a great life. I love it."
She said she isn't angry and needs to save her energy to keep going and concentrate on immediate needs.
"I just need some hay, that's the biggest need," she said.

Channel 4 may have finally found a way to breathe new life into Big Brother. Turn the cameras off, surround the place by flesh-eating zombies, and watch as the contestants are picked off one-by-one.
Such is the premise of Charlie Brooker's five-part E4 zombie thriller, Dead Set. You'll laugh. You'll jump out of your seat. And you'll be mildly disappointed that you don't get to see the most irritating housemate ever, Bubble, having his face ripped off by the flesh-eating undead.
Davina McCall joins in the fun, though, in her most memorable on-screen death since her BBC1 chatshow.
Dead Set is set in a world where zombies are rampaging through our towns and cities and the only people who don't realise are the ones in the Big Brother house.
When the show's central character, a production assistant played by Jaime Winstone, breaks into the house, they assume she is a Big Brother stooge. That is, until one of them gets their neck ripped out.
Brooker has conjured up a very clever satire, mocking the people who take part in these shows and the sort of people who watch them. In one brief scene a zombie, drooling blood and spittle, sits transfixed by the Big Brother live feed. Such are the perils of watching too much telly.
Endemol, which makes Big Brother, also produced Dead Set. Talk about having your cake – or should that be zombie? – and eating it.
It is also very scary. In an era when TV eschews the horror genre, I can't remember anything quite like it. It makes Ultraviolet – remember that? – look like children's hour.
Big Brother fans will doubtless lap it up like a hungry zombie, while there are plenty of in-jokes for media types to enjoy, not least the hideous Big Brother producer Patrick, played by Andy Nyman, who ends up with most of the best lines.
When one of the contestants calls another housemate "spastic", he warns: "Lose 'spastic' or Ofcom will be shitting blood for a week." Or, "You never spook the talent. Not even if there is a mushroom cloud."
Brooker's Endemol connection – it also makes his BBC4 show, Screenwipe – suggests his backstage gags are impeccably researched. They are certainly very funny.
It also features the least politically correct zombie scene I have ever seen, which is either hilarious or grossly offensive, depending on your sensitivites. Chances are Ofcom won't be shitting blood about it.
Bubble is one of a host of former housemates to make a brief cameo appearance. They exchange a few pleasantries so inane it is tempting to think Brooker didn't write them and just turned the cameras on instead. For a moment, it was just like watching the real Big Brother.
If Dead Set is a success, then perhaps Endemol will do what they did with the reality show, and syndicate localised versions to numerous territories around the world. Brooker - who is also a columnist for the Guardian - could be on to a winner.
Dead Set is on E4 in late October

#6: I have a degree in chemistry. Believe me, this kid would have been in for a big surprise if he tried this as a university student and got caught. My professor told me of a student who blew off part of his body (I think it was a hand, as well as blowing up the lab he was working in) because he believed that he knew better and refused to follow instructions.
Few things make me more furious than when people take chemistry and its dangers lightly.

77- As a Chemistry Professor at a local college, I can assure you that is one of the most frustrating things. The high schoolers come into class thinking they know everything about chemistry just because they took a few classes in high school. I have sent students out of lab for sheer stupidity.
Well, im a teenager and when i look at most of my friends and people i knowi despair for the future of humanity :P
'They gonna clean up your looks, with all the lies and the looks...'
38- yeah i tried that but the smarter ones are all stuck up pricks who think they're better than everyone else (its a small town) ill take not the brightest but nicest over that anyday.

Generalizations, don't make them here without some serious thought being put into your comment, unless you enjoy execution by thumbs.
126 - You must have an extremely skewed, biased way of judging intelligence then. I am ready to promise you that "most teenagers" are NOT smarter than adults. Why? Because believe it or not, those adults were also teenagers once upon a time, and have since built further upon their learnings. There's a reason "most teenagers" aren't the ones drawing blueprints for our buildings or performing surgical operations on our bodies.

i get what you're saying but most teenagers i know are, in fact, older than me. They're 16-20 (I still consider 20 year olds teens) and are about to/have already graduated high school. Most adult i know (other than family) are pretty dumb but that's probably because i live in south central and there's a lot of drug users around where i live.
onlychildFTW | 33
Well you're a rangers fan. So yeah.
ManInTheMachine | 19
143-I feel as though I should tell you that 20 is spelled twenty, not twenTEEN. So no, 20 year-olds are not teenagers. Their mental age could vary, though.
BradenLock | 4
7- You're just generalizing now. Also, you're an asshole.
146- I am so glad to have made your day, because that was my only intention all along. I tried with a little light hearted, somewhat sarcastic humor but if thinking im an idiot because you think i mean everything i say in a completly serious way is what works for you then whatever floats your boat, my friend.

This is the problem I have with generational attitudes. Everybody thinks their generation is better than the next. To be honest, it really isn't much better or worse than the previous or the next. We need to stop with this "The sky is falling!" shit because a few idiots from a younger generation decides to pull a few dumb stunts.
ebonyirony | 29
My cousins a dumbass and he's thirty. There's rotten corn in every crop.
whosindahouse | 9
That's why some people don't grow crops
Syneriam | 7
I agree with 24, just because there's a couple of idiots in this generation does not mean everyone is like that. I do agree some teens do very stupid things, but you can't blame us all for it. I'm pretty sure previous generations have done stupid things as well, just like the next ones will too. Besides, lets not forget who raised us ;)
By that logic, the generations who believed in separation of races and that whites were better than blacks were way ahead of where we are now.
So go ahead and tell me that Apartheid was great, but I choose to believe that we're learning from our mistakes and that there are just a few idiots along the way.

Is that big black bird a crow or a raven? How can you tell? Ravens (seen right here) often travel in pairs, while crows (left) are seen in larger groups. Also, study the tail as the bird flies overhead. A crow's tail is shaped like a fan, while the raven's tail appears wedge-shaped. Another clue is to listen closely to the birds' calls. Crows give a cawing sound, but ravens produce a lower croaking sound. To learn more about crows and ravens, you can visit All About Birds. Or, get information when you take a class from your local Audubon society.
Ravens and Crows – Who's Who?
Adapted by Dominic Black from a piece by Frances Wood and Dennis Paulson
This is BirdNote.
[Suburban street ambient and Northwestern Crow sound]
So you're walking down the street, minding your own business. And a trashcan's been tipped over. And eagerly picking through the riches strewn across the sidewalk are several black birds. They're crows. Or…ravens. No, definitely crows…maybe.
How can you tell the difference? Well, first off, crows give a cawing sound:
[Northwestern Crow's caw, caw]
But ravens are croakers:
[Raven's croak]
And while Common Ravens and American Crows look quite similar, there are a few key distinguishing features that can help you tell one from the other.
Ravens are larger, the size of a Red-tailed Hawk. And they often travel in pairs, while crows are seen in larger groups. Also, watch the bird's tail as it flies overhead.
The crow's tail feathers are basically all the same length, so when the bird spreads its tail, it opens like a fan. But ravens have longer middle feathers in their tails, so their tail appears wedge-shaped when open.
But the bill is the really easy way to tell – because the raven has that chunky, grey-black, menacing-looking beak that pretty much says "Yeah, that's right. I'm a raven. So?"
The crow's bill, on the other hand, is still decently sized, but is somewhat more…modest. And most likely it's a crow you'll see picking through the trash. The ravens prefer the woodlands and open spaces. They're a bit more on the wild side.
The bird calls you hear on BirdNote come from the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Lab of Orni-thology. To hear them again, begin with a visit to our website, BirdNote.org. I'm Michael Stein.

Magazine article The Christian Century
Rabbinical Manual Adds Postabortion Ritual
Article excerpt
A revised manual for Judaism's Conservative rabbis was released October 20, including the movement's first-ever postabortion grieving ritual and other contemporary touches. The updated Rabbi's Manual, the movement's first in 33 years, is designed to help rabbis meet congregants' needs.
"Today the world looks very different," said Rabbi Perry Rank of Springfield, New Jersey, who coedited the manual. "We have new approaches to life-cycle events, a new vocabulary and a broader understanding of religious ritual." The manual was published by the New York-based Rabbinical Assembly, the umbrella organization for some 1,400 Conservative rabbis in the U.S., Canada, Israel and elsewhere.
Conservative Judaism, which claims the allegiance of about 1.5-million American Jews, is the faith's middle-of-the-road denomination, poised between Orthodox Judaism to its fight and Reform and Reconstructionist Judaism to its left. Rabbis within the latter two movements have also created postabortion rituals--as well as others for miscarriages and stillbirths--that have been widely circulated, although as yet unpublished in official denomination literature. …

In the Netherlands, 10% of traffic accident victims are younger than 14. The main reason is that these young road users are inexperienced. We questioned: how could Samsung give these youngsters the means to experience cycling on real roads without getting into danger? The answer lies in virtual reality (VR). The Beat the Street campaign aspires to give young road users the experience necessary to stay safe in traffic through an app and VR goggles.
Each day, tens of thousands of children in the Netherlands ride their bikes to school – it's part of Dutch culture. From the age of nine onwards, Dutch children ride independently. As they take different routes to secondary schools and sports clubs, the distances widen with the years. Yet, at the same time, these young people are not yet fully accustomed to traffic. For instance, what would you do when riding your bike in the blind spot of a truck taking a turn? Your friends have already crossed the road. Do you pass the truck swiftly and re-join your friends before they are too far ahead? Or would it be better to wait?
The right reaction to this possibly life threatening situation is something you can't learn in theory. With the aim to reduce the number of accidents, Samsung and Veilig Verkeer Nederland (Transportation Safety Board) joined forces to develop the Beat the Street campaign: virtual reality is used to let secondary school students experience various traffic scenarios and their impact as if in real life. In a playful manner the kids become aware of the dangers involved in traffic. They learn to understand what may happen if they use their smartphones on the road, or what could happen if they truly end up in the blind spot of a truck taking a turn.
Beat the Street
The Beat the Street VR app mimics real-life traffic situations. When wearing Gear VR goggles it's like you are actually in traffic. Just like in real life, decisions must be made in a split second, resulting in immediate feedback. That way, you instantly know if you made the right choice. If so, you go to the next level in the game; if not, you are "hit" and the situation starts over.
Beat the Street was first launched for secondary school students of the IJssel College in Capelle near Rotterdam. These students were the first to experience the app before a roadshow brought the campaign to other secondary schools in the Netherlands. Furthermore, it became part of the standard training programme of Veilig Verkeer Nederland. All schools throughout the country were informed about the possibility to apply for a Beat the Street package through the campaign website, which was highly successful in the Netherlands. So far over 15,000 people have downloaded the Beat the Street app.
Road safety first at Samsung
In 2017, Samsung's efforts to decrease the number of traffic accidents continue. While Beat the Street grew people's awareness for all sorts of dangers involved in traffic, its new 'In-Traffic Reply' app automatically answers all incoming messages when you're driving. People who download In-Traffic Reply decide to which notifications the app replies in either a funny video or a personalised message. The app can reply to any messages from WhatsApp, FB messenger, Phone and Messages. This way, Samsung is actively fighting smartphone-distraction on the road. As for smartphone-use – at Samsung we strongly advise to keep it in your pocket while in traffic, so you can't be distracted.
The Beat the Street campaign won in the Technology & Consumer Electronics category of the 2016 European Excellence Awards, which are hosted by Communication Director. You can find the full winners' list here.

Rt. Honourable Aaron Mike Oquaye has advised Ghanaians to avoid politicizing everything as it is detrimental to the development of the country.
"One of the things we have done very wrong in this country is to turn everything into sheer politicking, To the extent that whiles journalists say facts are sacred and comment is free, we think we can make facts free and comments scandalous. We cannot build a nation on half-truth and propaganda," he said.
Speaking at the 60th Independence Anniversary Lecture in Accra, the current speaker of parliament lectured under the theme '4th August; Ghana's day of destiny' where he gave a detailed account of how the idea of Ghana's independence was birthed.
Giving credit to the 21 known founders of the United Gold Coast Convention (UGCC) as the 'real' founders of Ghana, Prof Mike Oquaye stressed the need for history to be told right, as most Ghanaians are of the view that Dr. Kwame Nkrumah was the mastermind of Ghanaian independence.
Prof Mike Ocquaye said he has great respect for Nkrumah, however, he disapproves of anyone suggesting that Dr.Nkrumah was the founding father of Ghana. He described that view as propaganda.
He mentioned how half-truths and propaganda have diluted the richness of our nation's history, affecting our educational system.
"I have a great regard for Nkrumah but the truth is, he is not a Founder of Ghana.Those who met to fashion out independence did not include Nkrumah, though he came later and added significantly. Why do some people continue to propagandize this issue, we must put the truth right otherwise our children will be thought wrongly in our schools," he added.
Prof Mike Ocquaye said August 4th is a date that will be forever celebrated in Ghanaian history as it was marked as a significant point in the struggle for independence. He described the date as Ghana's day of destiny as the democracy, rule of law and the freedom of speech we freely have access to today, can be attributed to that day.
He encouraged all Ghanaians to celebrate the key political leaders such as Paa Grant, JB Danquah, Ako Adjei, Edward Akufo-Addo, Emmanuel Obetsebi-Lamptey who worked tirelessly to fight for Ghana's independence.

JIM JONES SIGNS MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR DEAL!So, Ms. Info talked to Jim Jones again and there is good news. Here is the quote:I just left the lawyers office. I signed a multimillion
dollar joint venture with Sony. My boss is Rick Rubin and Hip Hop (Kyambo Joshua) is doing my albums with me. What you think Jay-Z is
gonna think about that?
LOL @ Jim still thinking about Jay-Z. Anyway, this is good news. Everybody is wondering if Jim can do it again after the success of "We Fly," but with Rick Rubin...anything can happen. This is good news, but I have to wonder how this shift with affect Dipset. Also, Koch wasn't too pleased to lose their marquee act, but they got paid off proper. (The Cam'ron rumors are down the page a bit).More of what Jim told Miss Information:Whats crazy is that they gave me the same deal that Un and them
fucked up back in the day when they got the Sony/Untertainment deal .I got that joint venture, that 50/50 split, they dont give those out anymore. Thats a Dame Dash, Ruff Ryders deal. And Im bout to go crazy
with it. Im gonna be a problem.Of course we couldn't leave Jay out of this:Hip Hop is the guy who did all of Jays albums, and Rick Rubin is the
man who gave him that monster hit. So I dont know if he was aware of the deal, but its when everyone else finds out .thats what I imagine
will put him in a different kind of state.Could this stop Jay-Z from leaving Def Jam? The plot thickens! Shout out to Miss Info for the info.KAY SLAY HAS NO BEEF WITH DR. DRE
Kay Slay talked about the rumors that I got from Foundation Magazine and some other sources as well. See, I dont create rumors, but I do relay and deliver them to the people! Shout out to Kay Slay for clearing that up, but please believe that Foundation Mag has an interview with the Drama Lord. That interview, as I was told, basically is saying that there is a "situation" with Dr. Dre that has resulted in tension! Now, Foundation drops next month so I am going to be sure to get a copy to clear this up. Anyway, here is Slay refuting that there is beef with Dre Click here to listen!
Also Ray-J shot down the rumor that he was coming out with a book called Sex Machine and that it was a male version of Superhead. I guess, he is writing a book about his life, but he aint writing a tell-all sex book. I guess I we cant call him Supermouth or whatever name I published the other day. I don't think anybody really wants to read a regular book on Ray though. Could be me.
Well, I heard previously that Camron was up at the EMI building and possibly looking for a deal over there with Capitol or Virgin. Well, I heard that was partially right, but actually wrong. From what I understand, Cam was actually up there to see the good folks at Imperial Records (who are in the same building). Imperial is a company that was started in 1947, but recently got reactivated. The legacy of Imperial started with people like Cher. T-Bone and Fats Domino and ended up with Fat Joe, Bizzy Bone, Jin, and Evidence in 2006. From what I understand, Cam was up there chopping it up with Imperial seeking the possibilities (hint, hint: looking for a deal!). Cam isnt the only one coming through there, because they are on the rise as a record label.
These damn rumors arent easy and I need help! I have a life and I am sick and tired of writing rumors all day! So, Dove one of AHHs finest had aided in my job! Check out her report, live from the VH1 Hip-Hop Honors! They taped the award show last night, but it airs on Monday October 8. Oh yea, Vote for AllHipHop for Best Website!
Here is her report!
Hey all, it's your most charming Dove with a few words!
Tonight was the VH-1 Hip Hop Honors taping, and AllHipHop.com was in the mix. While a lot of the night was dressed with smiles and politically correct speeches in the media room, we did come out with a little scoop for you. The show airs on October 8th on VH-1, and there's some pretty classic performances on there. Honorees include Missy Elliiott, A Tribe Called Quest and Wild Style. My personal highlight of the night wasthe Whodini tribute... it's about time we showed them the love they deserve! Celebs performing or making appearances include Snoop Dogg, Ciara, Fatman Scoop, Ne-Yo, Keyshia Cole, Kool Moe Dee, The Rock Steady Crew, Grandmaster Caz, Fab Five Freddy, Busy B, Common, Chris Rock, Nick Cannon, KRS-One, Tweet, Timbaland, Eve... and the list goes on.
Back in the press room... after making a few jokes about the situation, Salt n' Pepa confirmed that they have indeed not dumped Spinderella, nor was there beef with her surrounding their new reality show. They clarified that Spin is simply not in a lot of the show because the two rap vets had a lot of their own issues to work through. Both ladies looked absolutely beautiful, and I'm looking forward to seeing thes how, which appears to be taking us through two decades of pent up emotions between the two.
There is a big New Jack Swing tribute on the show, which in taping was a bit of a hot mess. Maybe the editing will make it better, but damn... I had such high hopes. T-Pain should have sang up an octave for his Keith Sweat seranade (only because we could barely hear him since he was singing so low), and the Ne-Yo/Keyshia Cole duet hit a couple of surprising sour notes (probably due to some technical difficulties, because both are great live performers).
In an awkward moment in the press room, someone asked where Aaron and Damien Hall were. Teddy Riley toldus that "VH-1 wanted the biggest hits, and 'No Diggety' was my biggest hit," and further explained that "Ne-Yo wanted to do a Guy song" therefore Aaron and Damien were not flown in. Well, since we're being hella retro here, I'm giving Teddy the gas face for that one.
First off, 'No Diggety' was in the aftermath of New Jack Swing. No Jack. No Swing. Secondly, Aaron Hall is the G.O.A.T. of New Jack and golden era R&B for that matter. R.Kelly's whole initial sound was a pleasant knock off of Aaron Hall's vocal delivery. We love Ne-Yo, but it's no excuse for leaving the Hall brothers out. Hell, I'd have rather heard some Bobby Brown or Redhead Kingpen than "No Diggety," but I guess that might have been keeping it too real.
There just has to be more to the story...
Ice T was on hand to answer various questions, and once again he openly explained to the media how much CoCo and he were meant to be. Granted, some longtime fans could never get past Darlene being out of the picture (this totally includes illseed the Darlene fiend), but after seven years of marriage, Ice T and CoCo T have more than proven that they know how to make a relationship work in both business and love. Someone also asked about how Ice felt about his son being exposed to his lifestyle. Ice explained that his son is his own person. He is 15 now, and asked for golf clubs for his birthday. He had told his son to always see what a job paid before he pursued it, and Tiger Woods doesn't do so bad. Please let those happy people be and congratulate Ice T for his very inspiring career in music and acting. The Hip Hop nation should be more than proud of him.
Speaking of great relationships, Fatman Scoop and his lovely wife Shanda were probably the most popular people of the night with the other celebs. Scoop tore it up durning the Missy Set!
That's what I can tell you... and yeah, maybe I'm just too nice sometimes. Tune in on October 8th and let us know your thoughts on the show.
I hear that one of the many Hip-Hop Honors afterparties was crazy! Plumm a club owned by Dame Dash had one of the illest parties. It was too ill! I heard several people couldnt get in, including Nas! What? I heard that they gave DJ Red Alert a hard time at the VIP. I did hear that Saigon, Joe Budden, Dougie Fresh (Happy Birthday, Mr. Fresh!), Andre Harrell, Q-Tip and others were there.
From what I was told, Phife Dog of A Tribe looked pretty small and actually sick during the event. Well, this is bad news, but I heard that Phife is, in fact, very sick. Im gatherinig intel that hes a diabetic in need of a kidney transplant. I can honestly say that I hope he can find a doner, but Im gathering it has been difficult thus far. Nevertheless, Tribe is the bomb and Phife is in our prayers.
Most of you guys know about Nas and Jay-Z, Canibus and LL, or some other battle, but there was one that was above them all...or at least right up there. On his song, How You Like Me Now, he says to LL, Im bigger and better, forget about DEFFER. If you cant tell, he was crapping on LLs album at the time, Bigger and Deffer. Last night at the Hip-Hop Honors, Moe Dee had a sudden change of heart and said, I'm bigger and better, could never be lesser. I heard the people that knew were stunned at the change! Well, later in the show LL Cool J presents one of the awards and it all makes sense. I dont know, but I assume that there was an arrangement made where Moe Dee couldnt diss LL.
I think that LL is widely regarded as the winner of the battle with Kool Moe Dee, but upon examination, its very arguable. Take a listen to all the songs Moe got bizzzzzzy!
Kool Moe Dee vs. LL Cool J Part 1!
Kool Moe Dee vs. LL Cool J Part 2 !
I know we are going through a semi-Superhead boycott, but I have to say that the chick has announced her fiancée as Darius Eddie Winslow McCrary from Family Matters.
Busta is really dropping some knowledge in this video.
Well, this all started at the AllHipHop Battle and it will continue with AHH. This is how it is going down with Mistah Fab these days. He did this recent interview and really called out Joe Budden. See below.
Part 2 of the rumors are coming down later this afternoon. TOMORROW, WE LOVE YOU!
They keep us talking, but if we stop talking about them then they should worry!

Football Aid 2013 - Goal of the Season Results
With all of the contenders analysed and the competition entries checked, we're now able to announce the results of the Football Aid 2013 - Goal of the Season Competition.
The winning goals, chosen by expert judge Pat Nevin are listed in reverse order below (Pat's comments are in quotes) -
5th: Goal K - Manchester United - Rob Johnson
"Rob picks the ball up on the half way line, accelerates with pace and skill but keeps his head with a classy composed finish. This goal reminds you of Ryan Giggs at his best, so no higher praise possible! Wait a minute, there is a bit of Georgie Best in there too, so that is higher praise after all."
4th: Goal D - Derby County - John Vint
"A vintage goal from the Vint man. In fact like a good wine this strike improves with age, or at least it's better the second time you see it from behind the goal. Only then can the subtle complexity and long smooth finish with the outside of the foot be fully appreciated. That is why this tops the list of the long range strikes this season."
3rd: Goal T - Tottenham Hotspur (G1) - Mark Sweetlove
"Of all the goals this season, this is the one that sticks out as a professional standard goal in every respect. The sweet pass out wide showing great vision a la Glen Hoddle is only bettered by the Van Basten-like smash into the far corner, pro level technique. Would win Goal of the Month on many a Match of the Day!"
2nd: Goal H - Leicester City - Adrian Landers
"Another goal that gets better the more you watch it. Adrian picks it up outside the box and beats one player with a neat bit of skill. He plays the pass but vitally keeps his run going. The back heel back into his path is sublime, but his nifty little turn and strike from there is also top class. Incredibly unlucky not to win, but if the prize was for best celebration, he would have won at a canter. Superb stuff."
Winner: Goal N - Nottingham Forest - Sam Neal
"When you pick the ball up on your own 18 yard line and cruise the length of the field, gliding past half a dozen opponents on the way before tucking away such a classy composed finish, you really must be in with a chance of winning. It was the ability to be calm at the end of the move which was among the most impressive parts, but what actually sealed it oddly enough was the pass to Sam in the first place. The No 8 Bal Singh collects the ball and shows fabulous skill before finding Sam, I could watch this over and over from start to finish, in fact I already have."
Football Aid would like to send our huge congratulations to Goal of the Season 2013 winner Sam Neal, his powerful, lung bursting run from the edge of his own box doing just enough to edge out a number of excellent contenders this season. Sam wins himself a special Goal of the Season trophy and he'll be presented with this soon to celebrate his outstanding achievement.
The lucky winner of our prediction competition was Terry Rickeard, with his entry being the only one to pick the top 3 goals. Terry featured in the competition himself (so he knows a thing or two about scoring special goals!) and has chosen a free position in one of our Celtic matches in 2014 as his prize.
We'd like to say a massive thank you to everybody who entered the competition and huge congratulations again to all of our tremendous finalists for providing us with such a great standard of goals to choose from.

Middle of the night leg cramps - Go Fit Girl!
Occasionally I get a charley horse in one of my legs in the middle of the night while sleeping. One time I got one in each calf. Wow, ouch! Over the past few nights I have woken up in the middle of the night twice with a charley horse in my left leg. According to WebMD, a charley horse is a cramp, particularly in the calf muscles, caused by muscle spasms, involuntary contractions of one or more muscles. For me the cramps and muscles spasms are terribly painful. I used to try to massage them out. Years ago I learned a tip that if you can stand on your feet the cramps will go away immediately. It's true. But to get out of bed and stand up takes a lot of might and strength. But once I step my feet to the floor the cramps and spasms completely disappear. I've heard a variety of reasons why I could get them. Such as dehydration or potassium deficiency. Many more possible causes are listed in the WebMD article. According the MedLine Plus, when a muscle goes into spasm it feels very tight. It is sometimes described as a knot. The pain can be … Continue reading

Split Mountain, Mount Prater, Mount Tinemaha
By: Jim Adler, Larry Hoak, Kathy Price
This trip began haunted with problems, real and imagined. First I called the Forest Service about road conditions. I was given the impression that high water might block road access. Almost everyone worried about snow conditions. As a result I drove up the previous weekend and scouted the road and hiked in to Red Lake. All stream crossings were trivial (for four wheel drive) and from what I could see there was no snow problem (though not much could be seen from Red Lake).
Meanwhile my original co-leader had to cancel for personal reasons. Fortunately Larry Hoak and Kathy Price who were signed up for the trip agreed to help out.
We started out with 14 people signed up and three more on the waiting list. After cancellations and promoting one from the waiting list, 10 of us met Friday morning at a road junction on the MacMurray Meadow Road just before the start of the four wheel drive portion of the road to the trail head. We consolidated into 4 wheel drives (with which we were well supplied) and drove to the trail head.
We started up the steep short trail to Red Lake. About half-way up, a participant who prefers not to be named developed severe leg cramps and had to turn back. Kathy (who already had Split and Prater) volunteered to escort him out and drive him back to his car (parked in Big Pine) so he would not have to camp at the trailhead for three days. This was the last "problem" encountered on the trip ! The rest of the party had a leisurely afternoon at camp on Red Lake. Some of us took swims (brief) in the lake (cold). We had a community ("garbage bag") salad with dinner.
On Saturday morning (6 am) we left to climb Split and Prater. Larry expertly and flawlessly guided us to the top of Split by about 10 am and to the top of Prater before noon. We were back in camp before 4 pm. Snow was not a problem. We had to detour around snow on the way up to the saddle (between Split and Prater) but on the way back it had softened up and we could, in some cases use it as our preferred route. All eight participants got both peaks.
On Sunday morning, everybody but Wim, Kathy (who had rejoined us), and I signed out and hiked back to the cars. The three of us then climbed Tinemaha (great view) before hiking out.
Many thanks are owed to Larry and Kathy for stepping in to lead when needed. The entire group was great and contributed to a very successful trip. Participants: Kathy Price, Keith Martin, Paula & Bruce Peterson, Larry Hoak, Eric Lesser, Bruce Rorty Wim Burmeister, the unnamed participant, and myself. -- Jim Adler

Congressman Kevin Cramer (R-ND) Urges Leaders In The House To Address Much Needed Spending Reforms
Bismarck, North Dakota- Today, Congressman Kevin Cramer (R-ND) released the following statement regarding the implementation of President Barack Obama's sequester:
"Today marks the official implementation of President Obama's sequester. It is unfortunate the President and the Senate did not offer a budget to avoid the across-the-board cuts resulting from the sequester like the Republican House has. The President wants to spend and tax more while Republicans are looking to correct areas of waste, fraud and abuse. Sequestration is not the way to cut spending, but spending must be cut. The sequester cuts the federal budget by 2.3%.
I am working with leaders in the House of Representatives and with fellow freshmen on both sides of the political aisle to address much needed spending reforms. I am hopeful within a few days we will have a continuing resolution and appropriations bill to give the Departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs authority to make targeted cuts while maintaining critical military and service priorities. I hope Washington is getting the message we have a spending problem that must be dealt with. Perhaps President Obama and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid are ready to sit down and pound out a budget that make appropriate cuts and help our economy. The Republican House of Representatives has and will continue to lead this effort."
