There are certain things in life that occur time and again that, try as I might, I simply cannot brook. The partial list alone, which really does shame me, includes: aggressive gum-chewing, wet towels on the bathroom floor (which oddly does not annoy me quite as much as mismatched socks found under various pieces of furniture, which I think underscores my flexibility) and people who bring store-bought baked goods to an event when the note sent home from whatever person is torturing you with this request for treats specifically stated that such goods will be offered for sale.
Miss a parent teacher conference, fail to comb your hair, don't mow the lawn, fall asleep at your desk during an important Senate floor speech or lay five purses across the movie seats to save them even though you know perfectly well only four friends are coming. But please do not re-sell an Entenmann's donut at the bake sale.
When the instructions call for "something healthy," as it did for a recent sale for the school 5K, may I suggest Ginger Molasses Pumpkin Bread, which mixes up right quick and is a very big notch above your average pumpkin bread.
I chose this recipe because I assume people might like a hearty slice of bread after a run, rather than a chocolate chip cookie, though I make no health claims about either item relative to the other. What makes this bread special is the ginger kick you get from the mix of fresh and powdered ginger.
The mixing is quite straightforward -- you will note that this is all done easily by hand and that your bowl of wet ingredients will smell vaguely of Christmas. Once you add the ginger, that scent will overwhelm everything else in the bowl, and you will start to worry vaguely about people who don't care for ginger. This will mellow slightly as it bakes.
If you do not have turbinado or another raw sugar, I would not substitute with granulated; just skip that final step. The results of Foxes's recipe are a hearty, fragrant loaf, with a crust almost like that of a cake donut on the top, and a soft, deeply ginger body.
Now, the baking directions call for 40 minutes, but my bread was plenty soft in the middle after that time; your oven times will vary but be careful because this bread can look deceptively dry on the top while still plenty moist in the middle. In fact, I will tell you that the person who got the very middle slice may have consumed a bit of undercooked batter. I hope they are more tolerant than me. (Or is it I?) I have no tolerance for my own grammar!
Ginger Molasses Pumpkin Bread by Foxes
Serves 8
2.5 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
1 egg
1 cup pumpkin puree
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons melted butter
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup molasses
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 tablespoon chopped fresh ginger
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon turbinado sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Butter and flour a 9" x 5" loaf pan.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, ground ginger, and nutmeg.
In another bowl, whisk together the egg, pumpkin, brown sugar, butter, vegetable oil, molasses, and buttermilk until well combined.
Add the fresh ginger and vanilla extract to the wet ingredients and mix well.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined (do not overmix).
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
In a small bowl, mix the turbinado sugar with the remaining teaspoon of cinnamon and sprinkle over the top of the batter.
Bake 40 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.

The Virginia Tech defense was locked in Thursday night in Atlanta, leading the way to a 17-10 victory against Georgia Tech. Logan Thomas completed 19-of-25 passes for 221 yards and a touchdown and he ran for one more to give the offense enough points for a win in a tough, defensive match-up. Georgia Tech and Virginia Tech combined for 549 yards of offense with a fairly even split.
Sitting on their own 33-yard line, down seven with more than half a quarter to play, Georgia Tech head coach Paul Johnson decided to take a chance and failed miserably. Virginia Tech defensive tackle Derrick Hopkins stuffed Georgia Tech running back David Sims two yards shy of the first down, forcing a turnover on downs and setting up the Hokies for a potentially lethal strike. Amazingly, Virginia Tech failed to take advantage when kicker Cody Journell's field goal attempt from sailed wide left from 25 yards out. Georgia Tech survived, with the score holding at 17-10.
Still with plenty of time, Georgia Tech attempted to pass their way to a first down but three straight incomplete passes from Vad Lee forced Georgia Tech to punt it away. The defense forced the Hokies to punt but Virginia Tech pinned the home team back on their five-yard line with about three and a half minutes to play.
This game was expected to be a low-scoring game lacking offensive highlights, and it delivered. This game was all about the defenses, and specifically the defense of Virginia Tech. This is the same defense who held Alabama to the second lowest offensive total since Nick Saban took over as head coach, and this defense has continued to dominate the opposition and give the offense a chance to win. Virginia Tech has now held East Carolina to ten points on the road, Marshall's Rakeem Cato to just 228 passing yards and now has a hard-fought road win at Georgia Tech. Virginia Tech's success this season will be determined by the play of the defense, because the offense still lacks any sense of a killer instinct.
Virginia Tech now gets three straight home games in ACC Coastal play with North Carolina, Pitt and Duke coming up. This looks like a terrific opportunity to get a firm grip of the division before a game with Miami late in the year. If they play defense the way they did Thursday night, that looks like a favorable.
We cannot rule out Georgia Tech from the conversation just yet, but they must be able to play a much cleaner game moving forward with a more challenging schedule than Virginia Tech. Georgia Tech's next two games will be played at Miami and at BYU. The Yellow Jackets also have a road game at Clemson and a home game against Georgia before the end of the regular season. These are games Georgia Tech must avoid another nine-penalty performance.

If you're not already familiar, the Floridan Amelia Island Concourse is on Amelia Island, which is in Florida. And every year on this little atoll, many wealthy people drive extremely shiny, extremely expensive classics to compare them with one another and argue about compression ratios.
And this year, there was - as is required for these events - a THEME. Or rather several. BMW noted that it was 40 years since the first of its Art Cars, and displayed them in a light box, though, infuriatingly, covered them up. Then there was the 100th anniversary of defunct carmaker American Underslung, and the 50th anniversary of McLaren. All celebrated with cars in their own corner of the display field, which was a golf course in the island's laa-de-daa Ritz-Carlton hotel complex.
On top of that lot, there were also a few auctions. Which revealed not only that it's very difficult to exchange a reasonable amount of money for a fairly ordinary classic car (1971 Mini Moke for £30,000, anyone?), but also that the BMW 507 is getting pricey - a 1958 example set a new auction record when it sold for $2,420,000.
Also, there was the usual compliment of champagne-doused soirees and guest appearances - even Jochen Mass turned up. There was something called the James Edition Midway too. Presumably it was very slow.
Now click on for the shiniest, expensivest classics you'll have seen in Florida this weekend.

Yasiel Puig returned to the Chattanooga Lookouts on Monday after a week on the disabled list and a weekend in trouble.
The touted prospect for the Los Angeles Dodgers was arrested early Sunday morning on charges of speeding, reckless driving and a failure to produce insurance. According to the arrest report, the 22-year-old Cuban defector was in a BMW SUV traveling 97 mph in a 50 mph zone when he was pulled over at the 3200 block of Amnicola Highway.
The arrest occurred just two blocks from the Chattanooga Police Department.
"Certainly we've discussed that from a responsibility standpoint what he did was inappropriate," Lookouts manager Jody Reed said before Monday's doubleheader against Jackson. "He understands that, and hopefully this will be the last incident with that kind of scenario. He hasn't been in this country long, and he's learning a lot of lessons quickly."
Puig, who was not made available to the media, led the Lookouts to a 3-2 win in Monday's opener with a home run to left-center field in the fifth inning and an RBI single to right in the 11th. The result of Monday night's second game was not available at press time.
The arrest report stated the BMW came close to a vehicle occupying the right lane and obeying the laws and that "it took blue lights and multiple siren blasts to get the driver to stop." Puig was serving as a designated driver for a Lookouts teammate, who had to translate the conversation between Puig and the arresting officer.
"We are aware of it, and we take it seriously," Dodgers farm director DeJon Watson said. "We will be handling discipline internally."
The Dodgers signed Puig to a record $42 million, seven-year contract last June, which included $12 million up front. The 6-foot-3, 245-pounder hit .526 with Los Angeles in big-league camp before being assigned to Class AA Chattanooga.
Puig was hitting .333 in 13 games with the Lookouts before going on the DL with a sprained thumb, but he was pulled from a contest earlier this month at Tennessee for what Reed described as a "personal matter."
Lookouts general manager Rich Mozingo does not believe Puig's arrest will have any effect on attendance at AT&T Field. Chattanooga entered Monday averaging more than 4,100 fans a game.
"I think you always have to be mindful of that," Mozingo said, "but I've been doing this for a long time and can't remember the last time we've had a player who's had any issues at all. I don't think it will. If this was an ongoing theme, I would absolutely be concerned about it, but the Dodgers are wonderful and their players are wonderful.
"I'm sure this was just a very isolated incident."
Blake Smith, who plays in the outfield with Puig, does not believe the arrest will affect team chemistry.
"We love our teammates, and nothing is going to bother us," Smith said. "I know whatever happens to me off the field stays off the field, and when I come to the field I'm ready to play. There is not a doubt in my mind that is going on with Puig."
Puig has a court date on May 14, when the Lookouts will be playing in Pensacola.
Ohio trial hinges on dying man's blinks

text: Book – The All-Girl Filling Station's Last Reunion alternates between the present day story of Sookie Poole, a sweet, conservative wife of a dentist and mother of four who lives in Point Clear, Alabama and the 1940's adventures of Fritzi Jurdabralinski, a WASP (Women Air Force Service Pilot) from Pulaski, Wisconsin. Sookie receives a letter that brings unwelcome news and she discovers that the past holds secrets she never imagined. While she dodges her bossy, larger-than-life mother and fields questions from her friends and neighbors, she sets out to sort out the truth. Fritzi is a lively, determined young woman who dares to fly stunt planes, run the family service station with her sisters and train for military service. When the two stories weave together, Sookie learns that she's braver and happier than she realized. I enjoyed learning about the WASPs and the musings of Sookie and her friends were sometimes laugh-out-loud funny.

The 10 Commandments of Adventurous Eating
Editor's note: Welcome back Joe DiStefano, a.k.a. "The Man Who Ate Queens" and the chief writer of Chopsticks and Marrow, where he explores food all over Queens and beyond. After decades of adventurous eating around New York, Joe's here to share his wisdom on how best to eat off the beaten path. — M.F.
I can trace my genesis as a culinary adventurer to my old man who took me to Manhattan's Chinatown for shrimp rice rolls at Mei Lei Wah, back in the good old days when Fish Corner Market still plied its pungent wares on Canal Street. After 15 years living in the culinary wonderland that is Queens, I've turned full time.
I've been fortunate enough to show off the borough to everyone who'll listen, from hungry tourists to luminaries like Andrew Zimmern, Anthony Bourdain, and Fuchsia Dunlop. And along the way I've codified some rules for how best to eat adventurously.
Some of them have been
borrowed lovingly stolen from writers Calvin Trillin, Jim Leff, and others, to whom I apologize for the theft. But I hope that by reading you'll feel more free to break away from food media's tyranny of listicles and so-called experts, myself included, and strike out on your own for the good stuff.
1: Try Everything Once, Twice if Need Be
An adventurous eater doesn't practice culinary contempt before investigation. I have no need to try home-style fermented squid guts ever again, but I'm still glad I did once. Like most other ika no shio kara, this dubious special at Sake Bar Hagi was slippery, slimy, and it stank to high heaven. I couldn't choke down more than three bites. But now I know.
Balut, the infamous Filipino fertilized duck egg, has a reputation for being one of the nastiest things around, but it was only by trying it that I learned its bad rep is undeserved. Yes, there is a teeny tiny gnarly-looking duck fetus in there, but it sits atop the richest, creamiest hard-boiled egg ever. Best of all, there's a tablespoon of amniotic duck soup to slurp down as a bonus. My favorite place to score the duck egg delicacy is the balut man who sets up outside of Krystal's in Woodside.
2: The Law of Culinary Equilibrium (i.e., Don't Be Discouraged)
There's inherent risk in trying new things, but it's best to believe in food karma. If you eat a bad taco, a substandard dosa, or a paltry pupusa, don't get feel disillusioned. Immediately—within two days at most—cancel out the offending foodstuff by eating a superb one. Just the other week, I had a soggy disappointment of a dosa in Jackson Heights. The very next day I was in the basement of the Ganesh Temple restoring order to my culinary universe by tucking into a crispy, buttery ghee roast.
3: Look to the Bakeries
Sure they sell bread, cakes, and cookies, but bakeries in ethnic enclaves often double as miniature restaurants. One such joint is Broadway Bakery in Jackson Heights, where two ladies from Lima, Marlene and Rocio, prepare Peruvian specialties like ceviche de pescado and chicharrone con camote, a breakfast sandwich of sweet potato and fatty pork. In Rego Park, Rokhat Kosher Bakery sells Uzbek bread, meat pies, and wonderful plov, a kind of rice pilaf.
4: Fear Not the Street Eats
Whether you're in Bangkok or on the bustling streets of Jackson Heights, hawker fare is ground zero for culinary explorers. Street food is often better than its restaurant counterparts because its practitioners are specialists whose bottom line is tied to doing just a few things very, very well. Just ask Tortas Neza, a Corona truck that makes some of the city's greatest carnitas. Or Baul Daada Jaal Muri Shop (a find I owe to fellow adventurer Jeff Orlick), where a distinguished Bangladeshi gent will shake up a batch of the spicy, crunchy puffed rice chaat known as jaal muri right before your very eyes.
5: Go Off Menu
The so-called 'secret menu' at Chinese restaurants is slowly becoming a thing of the past. Real secret menus these days aren't printed at all. The other the day the cook at Crazy Crab 888, a seafood boil and Burmese joint, whipped me up an off-menu Burmese classic: ohno khao suey, a spicy, hearty chicken soup enriched with coconut milk and curry leaves, and bobbing with fried tofu and fish cake. Just ask if the kitchen is making something special that day and sound excited to try anything (see the first commandment).
6. Always Try the Housemade Hot Sauce
A restaurant's hot sauce recipe is a delicious window into a kitchen's skill and the cuisine they practice. I'm a huge fan of the citrusy chili paste at Great N.Y. Noodletown for one. Closer to my home base, I like the little jars of cooked-down onions and chilies shot through with Sichuan peppercorn that grace the tables of Elmhurst's Himalaya Kitchen.
7: Be Selective at Dim Sum
I don't know if this has to do with my dim sum companions (frequently other white dudes), but often cart pushers converge on my table with an attitude of, "Hey look, I'll bet they'll eat anything we bring them." There's a lot of frantic "You try, you try."
Here's the deal with dim sum. Set the pace at the beginning of your meal and be selective. If you load up on shiu mai, har gau, and pork buns on your first go-round, you might be too full when the truly unique stuff comes out.
8: Try to Speak the Language
Learn to say please, thank you, and delicious in several languages , a small courtesy that goes a long way. While you're at it, you should probably know how to order spicy food as well. Check out Chopsticks & Marrow's audio guides to get schooled on just that.
9: Don't Take 'No' for an Answer
Thanks to legions of fellow food adventurers, most servers don't bat an eye when folks order the weird stuff. But if you're told "it's stinky and you won't like it," insist that you do. Ready to up your game? When it comes to delicious odiferocity, nothing beats the tsak sha chu rul (Tibetan beef and cheese soup) at Phayul. It smells like a bowl of warm Taleggio fondue.
10: Accept You'll Never Eat it All
You will never have the full compass of any Chinatown, or anywhere else for that matter, ever. Don't believe "definitive guides" to food neighborhoods from publications prestigious or suspect. I like to call this rule Vito's Law, named after my old man who taught me that Chinatown is always in a delicious state of flux.

Gov. Pat Quinn isn't saying whether he'd support legislation boosting the speed limit on Illinois interstates and tollways.
The Illinois Senate approved a measure 41-6 Wednesday raising the speed limit from 65 mph to 70 mph. The bill -- SB2356 -- awaits a House vote.
If Quinn signs it, the new speed limit could take effect at the start of next year.
Quinn told reporters Thursday that he wants to see what House members do. He says when it comes to roads, it's all about safety and he wants to hear from other transportation officials.
A bill sponsor is Republican Sen. Jim Oberweis of Sugar Grove. He says the move would put Illinois in line with dozens of states that already have a higher speed limit.

With NBA teams looking for head coaches, Kevin Ollie is in a no-lose situation.
Based on all that he has said, his heart remains with UConn and talks aimed at a new contract are underway, two sources told The Courant on Friday.
A source close to Ollie also said that the UConn coach would listen if an NBA team approached him, but none have done so yet. Ollie is reportedly on the Lakers' list of potential candidates to replace Mike D'Antoni, who resigned Wednesday.
It is obvious that a new contract would give Ollie, 41, who led the Huskies to the national championship in his second season, a very large raise, which a source said would more than double what he is making now. He has four years remaining on the five-year, $7.5 million contract he signed on Dec. 28, 2012, a deal that added five years onto the original one-season contract signed when he took over for Jim Calhoun on Sept. 13, 2012.
Last season, Ollie made about $1.4 million, counting his base salary of $400,000, $167,000 in bonuses as a result of UConn's tournament run, and payment from other revenue streams. But that is far less than other Final Four coaches, or coaches with established reputations, who make $4 million or more.
Because an offer from the Lakers, or any NBA team, would likely be in the $5 million a year range, any new deal with UConn, to be competitive, would have to be worth at least double the annual value of Ollie's current contract, which would boost it in the neighborhood of $3 million a year.
If Ollie were to leave UConn in 2014, under his current deal, he would have to compensate the school $2.55 million.
At the Final Four, athletic director Warde Manuel acknowledged that he would have to give Ollie a new contract, but did not reveal a timetable. Discussions began right after the Final Four, but with Ollie on the road recruiting for much of April, it appears that the talks are just now getting substantive.
Meanwhile, with the NBA season winding down, teams looking for a coach are attracted to Ollie's combination of experience in the league, 14 years as a player, and his now-proven ability as a head coach. When D'Antonio resigned, Ollie was immediately included as a potential candidate — he grew up in Los Angeles. The Lakers, coming off their worst season since they moved to L.A. from Minneapolis in 1961, are in no rush to make a hire.
Ollie has affirmed on multiple occasions that he wants to stay at UConn now, and is not interested in the NBA. But he has not commented since the Lakers' job opened.
Tolksdorf Transferring
Leon Tolksdorf, who played sparingly in two seasons with the Huskies, is transferring to American University, UConn announced Friday.
"I have enjoyed two unforgettable years at UConn and I am proud to have been part of the Husky family," Tolksdorf said. "I never thought I would call Storrs a second home, but being at UConn and knowing my teammates has had a huge impact on me. At the same time, I am also excited to accept this new challenge in my life."
Tolksdorf, 6 feet 8, came to UConn from Berlin, Germany, in the spring of 2012, joining Niels Giffey and Enosch Wolf, also from Germany.
But he appeared in only 24 games in two seasons, averaging 5.3 minutes, 1.5 points and 0.8 rebounds. He was known as a three-point shooter but never got much chance in meaningful situations.
"Leon did everything we asked him to do at UConn, on the court and in the classroom," Ollie said. "He came to practice every day ready to work hard and push his teammates to improve. He was a big part of our winning the national championship. We wish him the best of luck as he moves on."
Tolksdorf's transfer won't cost UConn an APR point as long as he completes the spring semester in good academic standing, which is expected.
At American, in Washington, he would have an opportunity to play in 2015-16 and 2016-17. The Eagles (20-13) won the Patriot League tournament this past season, earning a trip to the NCAA as a No. 15 seed. They lost to No. 2 Wisconsin in Milwaukee.
UConn has 6- 8 freshman Rakin Lubin, who signed a national letter of intent last weekend, coming in, although the letter has not been officially announced. Daniel Hamilton, a 6- 7 wing from Los Angeles, has signed a financial aid agreement but not a binding letter of intent. He has said he plans to enroll and begin classes at UConn in June.
Tolksdorf's departure opens up a scholarship, which UConn could save for Class of 2015 recruits, many of whom they like, or accept a transfer student, which appears less likely.

For the 'old timers' here ...
Julie - LuvmyHarley1 passed away on Monday, February 24. She died peacefully in her sleep at home.
Her son Steven took good care of her right to the end. Buddy Harris (another old timer from here) does know about her loss. Harley (her quaker) will be confused at first, I'm sure. (He is even mentioned in her obit!! THATS how much she loved him!!)
Julie did feather art for many on this forum (and others). I have two pictures she did for me which will be even more precious now. They will remind me of our long time friendship each time I look at them.
Rest in peace my dear friend Julie! You will certainly be missed by all who knew you.
I will certainly miss seeing emails from BBop55

CAMP INTREPID, Week One: A Pirate's Life for Young Theatre Campers
June 21, 2013 – Backstage at the Clayton E. Liggett Theatre, a scruffy and bearded Erin Petersen, decked out in pirate makeup, looks at her group of scurvy costumed campers and smiles.
"Break a leg," she says.
Moments later, she is welcoming the audience to the first ever Camp Intrepid performance, courtesy of the Young Actors Theatre Camp.
Erin, who serves as Intrepid's internship program director, has been mentoring and teaching a small group of 8-15 year-olds for the past week, along with Artistic Director and Director of Education, Sean Cox. Today marks the campers' final performance: a costumed, choreographed and thoroughly rehearsed production of a pirate musical for parents and friends.
"I told them if they had a real solid final dress [rehearsal], I'd do the makeup thing," says Erin, commenting on her penciled-in mustache.
As the audience mills about the theatre finding seats that provide ample room for filming and picture-taking, many are unable to contain their enthusiasm for Camp Intrepid.
"Kenzie loves it, loves it, loves it…triple loves," says Corrie Anderson, whose eight-year-old daughter is trying theatre camp for the first time, having never participated in drama classes or productions before. "She's so sad that it's over. The time flies by."
Carlsbad resident Whitney DeSpain, whose daughter Abby, 9, plays one of the larger parts in today's show, agrees.
"Abby adores it," she says. "She's having the best time and she loves Erin." Somewhat of a theatre veteran already, having performed in numerous productions around town, Abby finds the Camp Intrepid experience extremely engaging.
"In fact, she liked it so much, we signed up for the next week of it," says Whitney.
As the audience settles, Erin takes her seat on the edge of the stage in case she needs to do any last minute prompting during the show. Set against the backdrop of a giant pirate flag, the campers enter the stage and begin a tale of buried treasure, new friendships, and the fun of finding the "pirate" in all of us. Halfway through, the kids burst out in a high seas song and dance number. The audience laughs at pirate puns and tears up when the group of wandering pillagers sings about home.
Two songs, one dance number, and one swordfight later, the cast – beaming with pride – takes their bows to riotous applause.
"They did an amazing job," gushes Erin post-show. "I couldn't have had better group of kids. Really, they were fabulous and so willing to do whatever we asked them to do."
When commenting on the impact of theatre camp on a child's academic and social life, Erin cannot say enough, although each time she speaks, she is interrupted by one of her young actors tackling her with a bear hug or shouting far-off strains of "Thank you, Miss Erin!"
"It's just having fun," Erin begins before the first hug comes in. "But it's also very validating for the kids. They create a character and work on something together as a team –" (Bear hug.) " — and then they have that moment where they show it to people and surprise people with how much they did –" (Bear hug.) "– in a short amount of time." ("Thank you, Miss Erin!")
"They might not think this is a career opportunity," Erin continues once the hug-waves have subsided, "but the skills they learn in these camps are things they can use in many aspects. We work on tools like voice and movement and articulation, for example. If you are giving a report in front of class, you'd have to use those skills."
This year, thanks to a community grant from the City of Encinitas and the Mizel Family Foundation, more students than ever will be able to participate in the camp experience and develop these critical skills. Full and partial scholarships are available for potential campers on a first-come, first-serve basis. Intrepid hopes to continue the scholarship program year after year.
Marie-Laure Wagner-Hunsaker, who attended theatre camp when she was young because she was "too shy," understands the value of this camp experience. "The camp trainers were actors and I remember very clearly the [theatre] exercises we did. I was super excited and super happy when Ari told me about the camp exercises he was doing here. I remember them." Her son, Ari, 12, brought a little French accent to his part, and proved to be one of the most comedic actors in the bunch.
"Kids recognize the quality of the experience," Marie-Laure continues. "They work very hard but it's very fun. Ari says they laugh all day long."
"This week surpassed my expectations," says Sean Cox, who couldn't be happier with the campers' enthusiasm in this inaugural week of summer camp. "It's great to discover that we are filling a niche in North County for professional theatre training for kids," he says.
When cornered by parents about the possibility of offering year-round theatre classes, Sean smiles thoughtfully. "If there's enough interest, we would be more than happy to continue classes in the winter," he says. "Right now, we are just thrilled with the response." — T.T.
Registration for a limited number of spots in upcoming Camp Intrepid sessions is still open, including the two Musical Theatre Camps (The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee and You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown) and the Shakespeare Camp. Sessions run through August 16.
Please email firstname.lastname@example.com for more information about Camp Intrepid scholarship applications.

Good for those 11 states but many people are still getting scammed by these cameras.
Republicans argued the cameras violate due process and democrats stated the cameras improve public safety.
Really, the cameras bring in a ton of money and the companies that sell the cameras pitch them to cities as revenue generators. There are studies showing increased rear end collisions as people attempt to avoid getting a red light ticket and speed past.
Fremont California was caught shortening yellow light time to increase red light violations which in turn increased revenue.
Good riddance.

This feature documentary tells the story of a young couple's year-long experiment in raising their own meat. On the abandoned farm property they just bought, they decide that if they're going to eat meat, they should raise it themselves. Over 4 seasons, they get to know the animals, discover their personalities, treat them with respect and eventually slaughter them. Animals takes us deep into the heart of the animal-human relationship, with all its contradictions.

Alas my durable 3570K is fine but the motherboard is starting to have issues. I had posted previously that I wanted to move over to Haswell and get a 6850K. However after doing a bit of research and also looking at the looming 7700K's about to hit I came to the conclusion that really for gaming and home use the 6700K (4cores, 8 threads).
So, for a good build. ...6700K vrs 6850K vrs 7700K?
I was looking at the Samsung 960 EVO M.2 for my Windows install and games.
Now...not to sound like a Stardock fanboy (which I happily admit to) but this rig is really for maxing out Gal Civ III and other 64bit 4x games (Civ VI).
I also play Star Wars the old republic, and hook up my 60" 1080HD tv to watch movies sometimes or cast it via google-cast. I play A LOT of games but the majority of my time is Gal Civ III, Civ VI, and Xcom II. Ok Ok.. I also love Pillars of Eternity and most rpg's. ....
I am 'upgrading' mostly so my existing hardware will be:
My case (HAF fullsized)
Corsair 750Gold
My 1 terrabye platter drive.
I'll give a full answer shortly but 2 quick questions.
When do you want to start your build?
The Intel Z200 Series chipset boards should be showing up sometime soon along with the Intel 7000 Series processors.
Also with the Samsung M.2, make sure you get the NVMe version for your build with a board that supports it properly.
If you can, I'd suggest waiting for the new Hardware Launch before making purchases.
Budget is 1200 to 1600. I was reading an article that suggested the 7700K processors are not much (3.2%) faster than 6700 AND ran hotter. I will wait as you suggest. The build was going to go around January but I can wait.
Basing my answer off of current tech so it's not going to be 100% accurate until official benchmarks from sites not owned by someone at AMD come out I'd suggest the following.
Go with the Asus Maximus VIII Hero "I have the VI Hero running an i7-4790k"
Note: If there's a motherboard that can encapsulate & cool the M.2 2280 SSD below you'll likely want that one instead
Unless you're going to do some heavy Virtual Machine work or A/V encoding work, save the cash & drop from an i7 to an i5 if you run into the budget wall -- This will save you around $100-$140 if prices are similar to the 6000 line
A Closed loop cooling unit for your CPU. My Corsair H90 is working like a charm - However I did put 2 high airflow quiet fans on it "Corsair 140mm if I remember right" -- This will be roughly 100-160 depending on the unit & fans you get which depend on the space avail in your case
If your copy of Windows is an OEM version you may need to replace it -- 7/8.1/10 Go with the Pro version for the higher amount of ram support.
Balance the costs of these 3 below with the remainder of your budget
Corsair Dominator Platinum DDR4 - Buy in Pairs, as fast as the board supports, suggesting no less than 16GB max of 64GB on the new boards I believe
Samsung 960 Pro "Ranges from 256GB to 2TB"
High airflow low noise adjustable RPM fans for your case
Honestly if you have enough after the above and desire VR experience, look at picking up a GTX 1070
Other odds & ends for the build
Arctic Silver V if you don't have a tube laying around.
Custom cable kit for SATA3 Cables
Custom Cable kit for power if your power supply is modular
Power bar to move the Video card power cords from the top of the card to the bottom by the end to reduce cable clutter
Poke me closer to the build & I'll fill in part numbers when avail
Probably about the only advice to give is budget vs bang-for-buck.
If you look for the 'top-of-the-line' components in each and every facet of a build you'll blow that budget sky-high.
At the time of my last build I effectively bought the best of everything available at that time and the bottom line is [now] over $9000 AUD [about 8 USD].
Prior to this build I'd stayed with the 'common sense' rule that bang-for-your-buck comes in at what would be the "next best", or one step down from 'the best available'.
Then, 1 step down would probably have been about 2K. Good example....price difference between a 980 and a 970.
One of the realities of Computer builds is that IF you wait for the next/faster/better hardware release you will NEVER end up with a new computer.
The rest of the 'choosing' is research-research-research....
....and no matter how good you do it you need to expect 'shit happens' such as my $1300 case was compatible with ATX boards but not all ATX boards are the same. Some locate their CPU socket further to the right which also means the CPU cooler won't be exactly where you'd expect it....and in my case I had to cut and shave some cooling fins from my cooler to enable the case to open-close. [it's a unique design].
Others' advice is good...but often it is blinded by prejudice [particularly with branding] ...
Thank you both for the replies!
allegedly some form of zen might launch in mid jan. no one really knows how they stack up against intel stuff yet.
TechReports always has some good takes.
Can't argue with that I know I'm guilty of it myself since I used to build computers at a small ISP to sell to customers. -- So I do try to keep at least a few different manufacturers in mind instead of hardlining with one.
Hmm actually fun ? to those who know off hand. How well does Civ VI handle multi threading for big games/maps?
This is not the case anymore, as the 6700K is 500Mhz faster than the 6600K even without the other advantages.. The i5's have a smaller amount of memory to work with as well, they're essentially hamstrung in large work loads. It's true that in typical day to day operations of the average gamer, your 100Mhz slower i5 is only a few percent slower than the i7 you could have bought, but as soon as you do any heavy lifting, like video encoding, or compiling, that extra 2MB of ram can make a substantial difference. Alas, they're not 100Mhz apart, so that i7 is going to be 15% faster on the level simply because it's 15% faster. They also lack hyper-threading, which will be increasingly powerful for gaming going forward, as the switch to multi-threaded, 64-bit gaming is well under way. Ashes is simply the first of a great many to come that will benefit substantially from the capability.
When I bought my 2500K instead of a 2600K, this was gold standard advice. I actually got better performance in some games because of poor support for hyper-threading outweighing the performance loss from being 100Mhz slower.
IMO if you want to keep the computer for say next 5 years, as opposed to just 2 and then upgrade again, get x99 and sixcore CPU instead of 6700k/7700k... even if for gaming. Latest AAA games like obviously Ashes, but BF1 and few others too, actually gain from having more cores, i mean more than 4, already. And its probably trend for the future.
For that budget (1200 to 1600), i would get in your place cheap X99 mobo (personally have GB x99p SLI, which has M2 slot), i7 6800k (cause its 200 cheaper than 6850k and the only reason to go 6850k are multiple GPUs, which is not your case), 32GB RAM, as its fairly cheap, the SSD you mentioned (but i would go just smaller size like 256GB for Windows and essential apps and get another bigger and cheaper SATA one for games, instead of single big and expensive M2 Nvme)...and if you are left with some money, add GTX 1070... i think all of that should fit into that budget with some decent CPU cooling on top of it, for some mild CPU OC (4GHz).
Maybe you want to wait for AMD Zen CPUs though, should be officially unveiled on 13th December. They may provide better bang for money than any Intel offering. I would not hold my breath though, if they are competitive, they wont be cheap either.
My 2 cents.
Be aware that the 6800K is as much slower than a 6700K as it is faster than my 2500K from 5 years ago for it's single threaded performance.
Not a problem going forwards, but it will impact games like Sins, which is where a few of us are posting from.
Edit: I would wait for the AMD release even if you wouldn't buy an AMD if they were twice as fast. Regardless of whether you'd ever want one, there are good odds of price cuts following their arrival.
6700k is indeed somewhat faster than 6800k in single thread, but certainly not "much" faster.
And i am of opinion you should be building toward future games, like potential Sins 2, which will very likely be built on Oxide, thus run better on 6800k.
I agree about AMD thing though, i would wait that one month myself.
It all depends on what you're playing, the current trend makes the power of your processor less relevant, not more so. A hyper-threaded quad is already more horsepower than you should ever need for a video game in the next several years. If you've stopped playing anything like Sins, sure, it's not really a concern. If you're still burning a few hours a week on it and you'd really like to play a huge game without it being a slideshow, you want as much horsepower as you can get, and 15% faster is quite a bit faster. Expectations of a Sins 2 down the road that may or may not appear and would likely be at least a year or two out even if it's in the works now won't really help with his immediate upgrade. If single core performance is going to be a big issue for him, he needs to know this stuff. Those huge map games turn into an absolute slideshow on my 2500K, even when I overclocked it to 4.2Ghz. That's faster than a stock 6800K. The computer that can run Sins in all it's overloaded glory just doesn't exist.
I dont have any exact benchmarks at my hand, but i highy doubt that 2500k, even at 4,2GHz, is faster than stock 6800k. Naturally 6800k runs only at 3,5GHz, maybe 3,6GHz when turboing just one or 2 cores, but there is certain performance advantage on its part compared to oldish Sandy Bridge 2500k CPU. I think there was an article on Anandtech or Tomshardware comparing the different Intel architectures over the past few years and IIRC there is at least 10 percent performance improvement on the same clocks between Sandy Bridge and Broadwell CPUs.
And even if it was still faster, the difference should IMO be negligible.
Not to mention that OCing 6800k to 4,2GHz is a thing of changing 2 or 3 values within BIOS. I run my 6850k at that exact clocks too and ocing it was literally trivial - if i could do it, anyone can.
Anyway, i agree with the last part, there is no computer which could run Sins without getting choppy at later stages of the game. If it would be choppy with 6800k (as it would), those additional 15 percent gained by higher clocks of 6700k/7700k wont make a difference, its going to be still choppy. However, additional 2 cores of 6800k can make a significant difference with new games. Hence my advice.

I guess the 6-12 people on the safari party bus were caught a bit off-guard last night when I began trying to kick their door in. Awoken moments before, at 4, by the shouting and music, I went to the window and saw what it was and quickly grabbed my pants, shoes, thought of getting a bat, but didn't want to wake the kids by opening their baseball gear. It was their sleep that I was trying to preserve after all.
When I went outside I wasn't thinking that I'd be trying to kick their door in. Maybe I tried to push the door open to scream at them to move on? I don't quite remember...except that the door was shut hard and that I was giving it my all now, repeatedly...wham! wham! wham!
As I was doing this I think I was screaming to get the bus OFF this street (maybe not as nicely as that). At one point I exchanged some words with someone baiting me at one of the two open windows, he telling me how he was going to fuck me up and holding a kitchen scissors as if it was a knife, and me saying to come on out bitch as I leapt up and tried to grab his face off.
I should have, of course, thrown a punch but didn't, and they weren't coming out of the bus either. There were no real fighters there, myself included, thank god, just a lot of testosterone, booze, etc. The kid turned away when someone said let's move down the street.
And, the bus was up and running and as I was thinking down the street isn't going to work for me, a half drunk can of beer came whizzing by my head. I followed the bus on foot, opened a recycle bin or two and pulled out some bottles, 32oz-ers I think, three of them, and I was running now. The bus thought about parking for a sec, and then decided to hightail it as they saw me running up behind them, except that the light was against them. They paused before running it as I hurled bottle #1 at their rear and as they floored it up the Bowery I hit them once again with #2.
I do wish that I had just knocked on their door and kindly asked them to turn down their music and move their party elsewhere. Oh well, perhaps this might help other prospective traveling living rooms to steer clear of East Fifth Street.

what if everyone just revolted like this guy? Grieve, with your many Twitter followers, you could start a flash mob revolution. one night, this summer, everyone goes out with pitchforks to the loud bars, etc., raises a ruckus. think about it.

Do you know the name of the company that runs these party bus tours? Maybe we can put pressure on the company and call the police and report them every time we see them wreaking havoc in our neighborhood. If a bar has noise standards, I would have to imagine a party bus has to meet noise standards.

is this the safari bus that is really a school bus? they parked on our street last summer with music blaring and tons of annoying people on the sidewalk and in the bus, it was terrible

While I love this story and dream of doing much the same myself, I don't think that this approach is the answer to our problems. Call 911. Call 311. If we all run up the complaints, we have a better chance of effecting long-term change, rather than something that just gets us through the night. all right, all right.

Let's see, you were threatened with a bladed weapon, had a 6oz metal aluminum can thrown at your head, which had it hit you could have knocked you unconscious easily. Sounds like assault to me, attempted battery, menacing, and a whole assortment of other things they pay DAs to figure out.
I wonder if these "party buses" could be regulated next on State Senator Daniel Squadron's list before something really tragic happens?

Awesome story!!! It makes me glad there actually are people sick of the bullshit that goes on unchecked in our neighborhood. Not really into violence and menace but certain people truly can't be reasoned with on any other level. It's a small victory, but I'm glad this guy was able to shoo away the pests.
Our city has decided to turn a blind eye to this near-constant pestering of the residents by carte-blanche out-of-towners. We pay some of the highest rents and taxes in the US, yet here we are, left to defend our own peace and order. What a city.

I feel for this guy (and have experienced that anger myself), but agree with Bowery Boy - he really should have called cops, taken pictures, noted the license plate. Then, he could have used the bottle-throwing and scissor threat as evidence of violence on their part and his own self-defense. As it is, they got away with their bad behavior.

Glamma, you may be right about that this time, but until we reach a critical mass of legitimate complaints, they never will.
I can't tell you how many times I've heard Ms. Stetzer at a CB3 meeting site the number of 311/911complaints to lead votes up or down on any given issue. She says again and again that cops don't pay attention to the EV because there are not the level of calls coming in that other neighborhoods have. Unfortunately, that's changing, but vigilantism will only keep your comment true - when that's what we most need to change.

Bucs' bats get grounded as Cards even series
Liriano tagged with costly three-run first inning before settling
PITTSBURGH -- The Bucs already knew about Joe Kelly's knack for staring down opponents, even Pirates scions.
Saturday night, they found out Kelly could also stare down a Pirates ace.
The St. Louis right-hander, who famously had a post-National Anthem and pregame staredown with Dodgers outfielder Scott Van Slyke -- son of Andy -- during last October's National League Championship Series, took on Francisco Liriano at PNC Park.
And Kelly outpitched Liriano, hanging around long enough to earn the Cardinals' 6-1 victory.
Against Van Slyke, Kelly had been motionless, erect on the first-base line. On the mound against the Bucs, he was teetering every which way, but wouldn't topple.
"That number at the end of our line is what caused us the most difficulty," said manager Clint Hurdle, referring to the 11 men left on base. "He got the outs he needed."
Liriano blinked first, and it was enough to make people who had caught his previous work at PNC Park and against the Cardinals to blink twice.
Before there were two outs in the first inning, St. Louis had three runs -- or, one more than it had scored against Liriano in 24 innings in all of 2013.
It was a cold night -- first pitch, 44 degrees and dropping -- but Liriano waved off any notion of having lost to the elements.
"No. It didn't bother me at all," the Dominican lefty said. "Just one of those nights, when you don't have your stuff and you have to battle through. Especially against great hitters, you have to give them credit, too."
The ultimate toll of that was a loss, Liriano's second in 16 career starts at southpaw-friendly PNC Park.
Kelly allowed the Bucs six hits and a run in 5 1/3 innings, bullying his way out of multiple jams. Most notably in the bottom of the third, when two-out mayhem loomed as Travis Snider and Andrew McCutchen singled and Pedro Alvarez walked to load the bases. Then Russell Martin also walked, forcing home Snider.
That brought up Neil Walker, the career .447-hitter with the bases loaded. Walker did square up a pitch -- but spanked it right at shortstop Jhonny Peralta to end the inning.
"Of the six he was out there, we had four innings -- the first, the third, the fourth and the sixth -- with opportunities to cash in and we weren't able to do it," Hurdle said. "He was able to make good enough pitches. One ball was struck extremely hard -- Walker's."
Liriano was in trouble only once, but it caved in on him.
The first opposing batter has hit safely in each of the five games on this season-opening homestand. But the visitors did not have a first-inning score until Saturday night, when the trend finally caught up with the Bucs, in triplicate.
Matt Carpenter singled to begin things for the Cardinals, who would not stop until they had three more hits and three runs -- on a Matt Holliday single, an Allen Craig sacrifice fly, and another RBI single by Matt Adams.
"I thought we took some really good at-bats early in the game and hit the ball hard," Craig said "He was really good against us last year and that was frustrating. I think we made some good adjustments. We saw him a lot last year and weren't too successful. It always helps when you get to see a guy a few times."
"I think there were some technical difficulties in that first, just a mechanical glitch that he battled with," Hurdle said of his pitcher. "Then he settled down and got on a nice roll and gave us a chance to win the game."
Liriano rebounded from the wobbly start, retiring 13 straight men until Yadier Molina's solo homer with one out in the sixth.
The switch was flipped by his realization that this was not a night for him to rely on the fastball. He began to feature his offspeed pitches -- changeup, slider -- and those cleared his way.
"I was trying to use whatever I had, whatever was working for me," Liriano said, "and use both sides of the plate. My speed was a little bit down tonight. Whatever was working, I used more."
But the Pittsburgh offense could not rebound, held down by Kelly, who was shown the ultimate confidence by manager Mike Matheny, who let his pitcher bat with men on second and third and two outs in the top of the sixth -- even though he was already at 97 pitches thrown.
That trust misfired when Kelly had to depart an out into the bottom of the inning -- after he plunked pinch-hitter Jose Tabata with Travis Ishikawa already aboard via a single. But Carlos Martinez came on to retire both Starling Marte and Snider on infield grounders to protect the 4-1 lead.
It grew to 6-1 in the ninth on Peralta's two-run homer into the left-field corner off Jeanmar Gomez.
By that time, Liriano had virtually forgotten about his own tough time.
"Got to put it behind us, move forward and get ready for the next start," said Liriano, yes, staring straight ahead.

Software for Manufacturing
Software Simulates Hot Forming and Quenching Processes
AutoForm-ThermoSolver, from AutoForm Engineering Gmbh, Zurich, Switzerland (Troy, MI), enables users to simulate the hot forming and quenching processes. The software takes into account heat flux and phase transformation during quenching. In addition, it allows for the graphical display of the final part properties, such as thickness distribution and strain-stress distribution, as well as the final part properties which are characteristic of the hot forming and quenching processes, such as hardness distribution and martensite-content distribution.
The software provides engineers with improved insight into the structural transformation of material. The supported tailored-tempering process allows for the engineering of stamped parts with targeted local strength properties.
Based on the results of AutoForm-ThermoSolver, crash-simulation accuracy can be improved by taking the real strength distribution of the hot-formed component into account. With AutoForm-ThermoSolver, car manufacturers and suppliers can reliably design and engineer the processes of hot-stamped parts for their new vehicles, such as A- and B-pillars, tunnels, front and rear bumper beams, side-rail members, door beams and roof rails.AutoForm: 888/428-8636; www.autoform.com

Who are Burda?1
The shortwave infrared heating market is dominated by a few key players, one of which is Burda, based in Germany and established in 1990. They are a company that pride themselves on their ability to innovate within their industry and provide a diverse range of products to suit a variety of outdoor heating needs – from small heaters for domestic use, to models appropriate for large-scale commercial application.
How do quartz heaters work?1
Quartz heaters work by heating a tungsten filament to over 2000 °C to produce a type of infrared heat known as shortwave or near infrared. The filament is encased in a quartz tube filled with halogen gas, which work together to protect the filament and ensure the longevity of the product. Reflectors inside the housing help to project the infrared heat outwards so that it can be directed where it's needed. The higher intensity of shortwave infrared is ideal for outdoor applications as it's better equipped to counteract the colder temperatures experienced outside.
What's the difference between Burda Smart and Burda Term 2000 heaters?1
Burda's Term 2000 series produces the least amount of visible light using their ultra-low glare heating elements and reflectors, so they're often the best choice if you think you will need a heater that's less obtrusive when in operation. The more intensive manufacturing process is reflected in the higher pricing for this range, but they represent the more convenient and comfortable choice if you think you will use your outdoor heater regularly.
The Smart series is lower priced because the elements used in this range emit a higher amount of glare, however this is still greatly reduced over standard quartz models in other product ranges. The Smart range is excellent if you need a budget shortwave infrared heater for occasional use in draughty indoor spaces, or if you want a low cost heating solution for use on your patio.

Issuance of Nebraska teaching or administrative certificates is the legal responsibility of the Nebraska Department of Education. Universities and colleges do not issue professional certificates, but rather, they offer the course work (required by the State) for specific teaching or administrative programs--for which the college or university then provides the endorsement. The college transcript showing the completed (posted) endorsement, along with a completed application packet, may then lead to the issuance of a teaching or administrative certificate.
In order for an individual to become certified at the professional level (teaching or administrative) they must complete a program of study in an endorsement area at a college or university which has been approved by the State Board of Education. When the program of study has been completed and the endorsement posted on an official college transcript, the student may then submit an on-line certification application to the Nebraska Department of Education.
Upon receipt of a request by the student for certification the Chadron State College Teacher Certification Officer will request the official transcripts from the Chadron State College Registrar's Office (free of charge), at which time the Chadron State College Certification Officer will verify on the application form that the endorsement program has been successfully completed, thus recommending to the State that an appropriate certificate be awarded to the student. Chadron State College will then send the Institutional Verification and official transcripts to the Nebraska Department of Education.
If an individual is wishing to renew their professional certificate with 6 cr. hrs. course work, they should contact the Chadron State College Certification Officer, Ms. LaWayne Zeller, at 308-432-6032 for course work requirements. Course work for renewal of 6 cr. hrs. must follow the guidelines of the Nebraska Department of Education which states, "…have received 6 semester hours of credit in education-related coursework from a standard institution of higher education within 5 years prior to the date of application." (Rule 21 005.04D).
Course work for renewal of 15 cr. hrs must follow the guidelines of the Nebraska Department of Education which states, "…have received 15 semester hours of credit for course work in an approved programs for the preparation of teachers, and such course work shall include a) a course in instructional techniques; b) a practicum consisting of one hundred or more clock hours of contact with students in the classroom setting, fifty percent of which shall consist of performing instructional duties; c) a course or courses which address current issues in education, including but not limited to, special education, gifted education, reading and writing in the content area, and school law; and d) the remaining course work be directly related to the applicant's area of endorsement on the expired certificate." (Rule 21 005.10C)
Appropriate course work can be courses in EDUC, EDCI, EDAD, READ, SPED or those courses listed under Professional Development for Educators under the heading, Special Programs listed on the CHADRON STATE COLLEGE website.
Once the renewal course work has been completed, an application for certificate renewal may be submitted on-line to the Nebraska Department of Education. Certification verification will be processed (as stated above) and sent to the Nebraska Department of Education, or the respective state desired for the issuance of an appropriate certificate. NOTE: For certificate renewal purposes, the State of Nebraska does not accept course credit hours which are older than 5 years at the time the renewal application is submitted.
Individuals from other states wishing to obtain Nebraska professional certification will need to have successfully completed the Nebraska Human Relations and Special Education course requirements, the Nebraska approved basic skills test--the Pre-Professional Skills Test (Praxis I Exam), and submit two copies of their fingerprints for processing. In addition, individuals should contact the Nebraska Department of Education, Teacher Certification Unit at (402) 471-0739, or through their homepage at: http://www.nde.state.ne.us/TCERT/index.html, for specific requirements pertaining to their endorsement area(s).
Individuals seeking certification in another state should contact that specific state for requirements and certification areas (endorsement areas) available. Chadron State College will verify your endorsed program when you provide the Institutional Verification form to the Certification office. It can be faxed to (308) 432-6454 or mailed to Certification Office, Chadron State College, 1000 Main Street, Chadron, NE 69337.
Contact person: Ms. LaWayne Zeller at 308-432-6032 or 1-800-CHADRON Ext. 6032; E-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.
Individuals who hold a Bachelor of Science in Education or Master's of Education and wishing to add an endorsement, either teaching or administrative, to their current valid teaching certificate can contact the Teacher Certification Officer for assistance either by phone at 308-432-6032 or email at firstname.lastname@example.com . The individual should have any and all official transcripts from any other university or college other than CHADRON STATE COLLEGE sent to: Registrar; 1000 Main Street; Chadron, NE 69337.
After consultation, a program plan will be written and approved by the appropriate Department Teacher Educators or the Teacher Certification Officer. Individuals will be responsible for following the program plan. Upon completion of the coursework, the student will notify the Teacher Certification Officer. The process for adding an endorsement will be the same procedure as applying for certification. The Teacher Certification Officer will order the official, posted, transcript from the registrar (free of charge) and complete the verification. The individual will submit the application portion on-line to the Nebraska Department of Education.
