Kathleen Hayes-Parvin
School: Birney
Middle School Southfield, Michigan
Grade: sixth
grade language arts/social studies
Video: Episode
9, Thinking About Thinking. Segment begins approximately 18
minutes into the program.
Primary Learning Objectives
By participating in the learning activities,
students should be able to:
Students created writer's notebooks with collections
of thoughts, clippings and pictures about a subject they were
interested in. The students were assigned to groups and did
outside reading before sharing their work and discussing their
interests. They wrote essays about their topics, documented
their process in journals and presented their work to a group
of student teachers.
Learning Theories to Consider
Kathleen Hayes-Parvin assigns
sixth grade students to work on multiple tasks in collaborative
groups to reflect, write, receive, and give feedback to each
other in a teaching and learning environment. Students transfer
prior knowledge to new learning by making connections through
a format Hayes-Parvin describes as reading and writing from
"text to text, text to self, and text to the world."
As an example, she provides connections to new learning by
assigning students the task of reflecting on the "good"
teachers they have experienced in the past and to discuss
in their groups what makes the teachers so good. An exciting
conclusion for this assignment is that the students share
their thoughts and writings on "good" teachers with
a second audience of preservice teachers from the University
of Michigan. In another assignment she invites students to
read a poem written in a particular style before asking them
to write their own poem in similar style. In a culminating
assignment students write in journals about personal experiences
and discuss their writing with each other for feedback.
Although presenting to university teachers in
an interactive video- conference is very exciting and motivational,
Kathleen Hayes-Parvin demonstrates that the theory of Motivation
requires much more. She
creates interest by assigning her students the task of writing
about their personal experiences. When students share their
thoughts and writing with each other in an affirming environment,
their self-confidence is enhanced and they feel a sense of
accomplishment, and are therefore more motivated to learn.
The video conference also combines many familiar
student activities in new ways. As students prepare their
presentations they are experiencing Learning and Transfer
applying what they have learned in new situations.
In the classroom and in assigned groups Kathleen
Hayes-Parvin creates opportunities for students to excel in
multiple ways. Her understanding of Multiple Intelligences is modeled by the creative assignments she gives her
students. Each assignment allows students to demonstrate their
strengths. For example some students excel in linguistic Intelligence,
communicating their ideas wonderfully well, while others excel
in interpersonal Intelligence, thriving in small group experiences
where they notice and react to the moods of their friends.
Hayes-Parvin has organized her students' writing
tasks so they model the ways the professional writers work,
and are evaluated by the kind of criteria that writers would
use. By following the Structure of the Discipline
of writing, Hayes-Parvin is focusing on the most important
skills and knowledge her students should learn and apply.
Sequenced Writing Assignments:
Make a list of up to
five key ideas from each of the four learning theories
presented: motivation, learning and transfer, multiple
intelligences and the structure of the disciplines.
Next, try to identify a way the teacher applied each of
those key ideas as she planned and executed his learning
activities. For example, under "motivation,"
you might list, "learning activities are authentic
tasks teacher organized a presentation by class
members to college students, and that gave students a
tangible purpose to their projects."
Review your list of key
ideas and fill in the blanks from Assignment A by suggesting
things the teacher could do to apply the key ideas you
listed but did NOT see represented already. Suggest other
practical things the teacher could do to incorporate key
learning theory ideas into her classroom activities.
Reflect on the completed
table and record your reflections about how the theories
intersect or interact. How might your own teaching practices
take advantage of what you see happening in this scenario?
As an alternative to
these tasks, follow the directions of your group facilitator
or the teacher of your class to write about this scenario
and how one or more learning theories might apply to it.
Or decide as a group how you might use it as a case for
further study and discussion.
Samples and tools to help you with the scenario

WASHINGTON — Working as a Jack in the Box cashier, Marissa Cruz Santos breathed a sigh of relief last year when she qualified for an Obama administration program that defers deportation of young immigrants who came to the U.S. illegally as children.
With high expectations and a freshly minted work permit, Santos, 27, hit the job market, hoping to leverage her new status and a Cal State Fullerton degree into an entry-level office position. But after applying for several jobs near her Riverside home, Santos got only two interviews and no offers.
Yes, she said, the president's Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program has made it easier for her to apply for jobs that were previously out of reach, but obstacles remain to actually getting them, mostly because of gaps in her skill level and a weak resume caused by years toiling at low-paying fast-food jobs.
"I don't think we were ready for the fact that a lot of us have been out of school for a long time and that we don't have experience," Santos said.
As prospects for comprehensive immigration reform this year fade, many young immigrants like Santos are confronting the limits of the president's program, saying it has not transformed their lives as much as they had hoped.
The program offered a two-year deportation deferral and work permits to hundreds of thousands of undocumented immigrants who came to the country illegally before age 16. Santos and others, dubbed the "dreamers," were encouraged to come out of the shadows and build new lives. The program was hailed as an important first step in addressing the plight of more than 11 million immigrants living in the U.S. illegally.
But since the program started, more than 40% of participants have failed to land new jobs after receiving work permits, and only 45% reported getting pay increases, according to early results from a 2013 survey of 2,381 participants, conducted by Roberto G. Gonzales, an assistant professor at Harvard University's Graduate School of Education.
He said the "prototype dreamer" that most immigration activists talk about — straight-A students and valedictorians who are now free to pursue successful, productive careers — represents the minority. Most participants, he said, are having "a hard time reentering mainstream life."
Many have been unable to take advantage of new opportunities because they lack a high school diploma or college degree, Gonzales said. He noted that the program did not make participants eligible for financial aid or in-state tuition in every state.
"The biggest barriers to higher education … still exist," he said.
Maria Del Carmen Reyes, 31, an unemployed Santa Ana waitress, said she had enrolled in a program to become a licensed vocational nurse but quit after four months because she realized it was futile. "I was almost going to finish," she said, but "people were telling me, 'You don't have a Social Security [number].... You're not gonna be able to work.'"
Through the program, she received a work permit and hopes to go back to school. But that could take years. Reyes, who is expecting a baby in July, recently quit her restaurant job to take care of her other three children and a husband, who is in the country illegally and cannot qualify for deferred deportation because of his previous gang ties.
Even those with degrees and education are finding that they lack adequate work experience to get jobs in their desired fields. Some have internalized the stigma of growing up in the country illegally and lack confidence during job interviews.
Antonia Rivera, 32, who moved from Mexico when she was 6, received a degree in literary journalism from UC Irvine. After graduating in 2006, Rivera applied for a position at an insurance company but didn't reveal her immigration status. Rivera said she just wanted to see whether she could get a job on her merits.
Rivera not only got the job, but the firm offered her a better position than the one she applied for, she said. When the company asked for a driver's license, however, she never called back, knowing it would not hire someone in the country illegally.
Nearly a decade later, she has almost no experience except for fast-food and customer-service jobs.
Now with a work permit, Rivera renewed her search for a job at another insurance company. But when potential employers review her resume, they invariably ask her to explain the long gap since graduation and why she took such low-level jobs.
"They would kind of look at me weird," she said, wondering to themselves, "Why haven't you done anything with your abilities?"
She said she was still nervous about explaining her circumstances to potential employers. "I'm so used to being undocumented. When I go into an interview, I think that's kind of holding me back," she said.
Hoping for a fresh start, she recently moved to Des Moines, where she found a job as a clerk at Wells Fargo's home services division. But because the deferral program is temporary, Rivera and other applicants say it's difficult to make long-term plans. Though the two-year program is expected to be extended, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services still has not released instructions on the general reapplication process.
Santos, who recently quit her job at Jack in the Box to devote more time to her job search, said she too feels on shaky ground.
"If deferred action is not renewed or the government takes it away, it's going to send us back to basically nothing again," she said. "I'm just kind of taking it day by day."

Once upon a time, there was a force called Cold. This was not an honourable force, for it brought shame to surfing. Cold robbed those who rode waves of their honour, and in males, of their manhood. It mocked their explorations of water and wave. And so it was determined that Cold should be banished.
Many had fought with Cold, but succumbed because their heart was not pure, or because they were inflexible. Then came Pyro. It was mocked by many, but it mattered not, for it was supple like water, and flexible like the sapling. And so like the humble farmer who stood up to the cruel emperor to save his own honour, so Pyro vanquished Cold's cruel grip on the oceans.
Right then.
A rather innocuous thread on the BC Surfing Forum questioned whether one might ever consider surfing in a drysuit. Overwhelmingly, most people made cat-calls; I think my reply was...
"Not personally. But I think it' would be a great idea to do it to one of your unsuspecting friends as a joke. Then laugh as they get bashed around extra-hard in the white-water and slowly fill with water. Then you could razz them the whole way home as a bonus." and "Surfing is quite a bit different than playing Charlie Brown with a kite. You're in the water, not on the water, and believe it or not, that little extra buoyancy provided by all the extra air in your drysuit makes Daniel-san more like cork and less like duck when going through waves. The result is a much harder working than is really necessary. Plus it's bulkier with those extra layers. I've seen enough sad-sacks trying to surf in their dry-suits to know that you look like the white guy in Japan as compared to the functionality of a wetsuit."
In any case, most rational people that surf know better than to do so in a drysuit. I was firmly in the not-a-chance camp, until I was goaded into trying out a new "dry core" design by Richard Myerscough at Ocean Rodeo, the manufacturer of the Pyro Drysuit. They're right down the road in Saanichton, here on Vancouver Island. I was kind of suspicious because Richard wasn't particularly defensive about his new invention, which is often the case when something sucks. In fact he appealed to mocking me, which is usually the best way to get me to do something that I wouldn't normally do.
I'm by nature a skeptical person. I was impressed at the quality of design when Richard dropped it off at my place of employment. We have an odd mix of surfers, divers, sailors and survival enthusiasts where we work, so while it caused a stir, its appearance didn't help to dispel my skepticism. It looks like a drysuit but it doesn't, if that makes any sense. Like a drysuit's fancy-ass cousin maybe.
Taking it up northwards to the breaks, where I was assured a proper razzing from a familiar crew, it became clear to me that as I put it on, I wasn't going escape the fact that I looked like Buck Rogers. Oddly, it kind of suits the japanoid 4X4 that I drive so it wasn't entirely out of place. What was impressive is that it didn't look like a drysuit at all, nor did it feel like one as I walked around in it. It felt like a pair of pyjamas. That's probably because you have a fleece jumpsuit on underneath it. It felt different, but it didn't feel at all bulky, in fact it felt less restricting.
Ocean Rodeo Pyro Surf Suit on Discovery channel - youtube.com
Initially, I felt that the zipper would be a problem. It looked like it would be, but it actually sits higher than where you lie on your board, only touching occasionally. Heading out into the water, the first thing that I noticed was that my arms felt lighter. Actually everything felt lighter. It was more akin to paddling around in a light set of clothes that didn't get wet. (go figure). My biggest concern was that it wouldn't be submergible but I was able to duck-dive the suit with only a little more trouble than a normal wetsuit. Instead of bobbing around like a cork, I did get submerged and through the wave face. Fighting off the occasional urge to self-warm with recycled morning coffee, I was able to paddle very easily. The only downside was that the interface between the Lycra and the bladder was a bit slippery, so you did tend to slide around a bit. Richard explained to me that some surf wax on the bladder will fix this and that they're putting more slipguard (slip-not) is what he called it. These are his words…
The slip between the two layer's is an easy fix, (with wax for "on the spot") but we also have a thin rubber material called "slip not" that will be fused to the rip cage area of the dry core (outer surface). When pressure is placed on the "slip not" (laying on your board) it locks the Lycra skin in place...NO shift. The dry core you tested was a L / XL,..... one size to big, for sure this didn't help with the shift,...
In any case, that was my only problem with it. There would be more photos but my camera appropriately died on the beach. RIP.
Here's the summary for people who dig statistics…
Estimated Performance Breakdown:
Overall, if I kite boarded, windsurfed, dingy-sailed and surfed, I would rush out to buy this suit. I'd be leaning against the door waiting for them to open. I'd sell my best friend's sister on the black market to pay for it. It offers very little compromise to your surfing performance and is lighter, more flexible and warmer. Richard isn't even paying me to say this stuff…I've only met the guy twice and he made fun of me once!
That being said, I think that I am just used to a wetsuit though as you feel like you're actually in the ocean as opposed be being surrounded by it. Perhaps that's just a small esoteric detail. Plus, unlike the drysuit or the expensive new O'Neil H-bomb, 50 cups of coffee and you know it's on for a long day of self-recharged warmth in an old wetsuit that no-one else dares borrow. C'mon …everyone does it…

But those libraries are not just a simple duplication of the x86 32 bit RPMs. The 32 bit library RPMs must contain only the libraries, not other configuration and documentation files. The libraries must placed in the proper directories or otherwise made to have non-conflicting names. Some libraries that exist only as 32 bit versions must be placed in the LSB-standard location. And all of this get extra complicated with 3rd party compilers. We started out with an ad hoc approach, using the 32 bit RPMs, but quickly decided that it had too many exceptions to support for end users. > > ...it also refers to anecdotal accounts that numerical performance > > significantly degrades if one runs i386 code compared to recompiled > > x86_64 code. > ...I don't think that you'd come to that conclusion.

The fruity apricots for this delicate distillate ripe in the high-lying side valleys of South Tyrol.
Alcohol content: 41 % Vol.
Like our IL GUSTO kirsch "Eau de cerises" only selected and fully ripe French Guigne cherries are distilled after a long and careful fermentation to a high quality cherry brandy. The strong distillate with a content of about 70 % alcohol will not be diluted with water, but with juice of selected unfermented cherries. A touch of sugar rounds off flavour and emphasizes the intense cherry note.

Alcohol content: 40 % Vol.
Gentle like valuable velvet, almost tender to the palate, matured with dignity - that's the way our marvellous matured brandy from southern Spain presents itself to real hedonists. Like producing of sherry our brandy is matured by the Solera-method, which is supervised by the "Cosejo Regulador de Jerez". Each step of work is qualitatively stipulated and is proofed by a seal. The brandy just like sherry is stored in cask rows (usually 4), one on top of the other.
The oldest and therefore most valuable brandy is stored in the bottom row. The younger brandy is matured in the rows above and will be transferred into the rows below with each cask rows. Transferring is also important - the spontaneous accumulation with oxygen increases the maturation positively. The Andalusians love their brandy neat with full wine flavour and not to cool.
A temperature of 18 degrees Celsius is regarded as ideal for this noble digestive, which is often served with coffee. The dark, mahogany-coloured liquid with its fantastic wealth of delicate scents is served almost reverently to develop its perfect taste. This brandy could barely be found in specialist shops; at IL GUSTO we love it!

Chocolate Mousse Dessert Recipes
Angel Salted Caramel Chocolate Dessert Cups for Christmas
These angel dessert cups are the result of our hard work baking for this holiday season. The sweets are made of milk chocolate with salted caramel bits turned into a delicious, egg-free mousse, topped with vanilla bean-flavored cream, salted caramel sauce and an angel-shaped, crisp sugar cookie.
The most amazing part was to see the look in Aria's eyes. She was mesmerized by the "snow" (powdered sugar) on the angel cookies; I could see a sparkle much like the stars at night, which was priceless. Hearing her laugh with delight brings so much joy to the house, you can almost hear the triumphant chorus of angels. Merry Christmas Eve, everyone!

Colorful Dessert for Diwali Celebration
Today Aria's preschool teachers planned a small Diwali celebration in school. Diwali is a Hindu festival and it's India's biggest holiday of the year. It's also known as the "festival of lights." The day began with a non-religious story of Diwali, then there was a beautiful Rangoli demonstration (an art and craft session), followed by a potluck lunch for the boys and girls. I volunteered to bring a nut-free dessert for the children and since I knew other mothers would bring typical, popular Indian desserts, Aria and I prepared a colorful, playful dessert instead for the children.
For the occasion, I transformed our little Aria into an Indian princess and tried to match the dessert with her colorful, festive attire. The dessert consisted of individual servings of a cookie baked in a mini cupcake liner and filled with cardamom-flavored triple chocolate cream (lemon, strawberry and milk chocolate). Needless to say, the children adored the sweet treats and Aria was so proud to tell her classmates she had helped preparing them.

Triple Chocolate Mousse Recipe
This whimsical chocolate dessert marks the onset of the holiday season. The sweet treat consists of espresso dark chocolate, orange and salted caramel milk chocolate layers. If you omit the garnish, you'll notice that the dessert is egg-free and gluten-free.
Having an almost 3-year old at home is a constant reminder that I need to get prepared to celebrate Halloween. We've gone through so many costume ideas already, I wonder which one Aria will finally agree on when the times comes! For this dessert, I prepared three different flavors of chocolate mousse. The mousse required very few ingredients: milk, whipping cream, butter, sugar and of course chocolate (the star of this sweet treat!).

Cardamom Chocolate Mousse topped with Meringue Cookies
This elegant chocolate dessert might seem complicated but it really wasn't. First I prepared a cardamom-flavored chocolate mousse. The mousse required very few ingredients: milk, whipping cream, butter, sugar and of course cardamom and chocolate (the stars of this sweet treat!). You'll notice no eggs were used in this step.
The second step is the meringue cookie topping. You can prepare the meringues way in advance and assemble the dessert at the last minute. The meringues provided a nice contrast of texture against the velvety chocolate mousse, as well a striking contrast of color.
Full Recipe...
Chocolate Raspberry Mousse Recipe
I love the combination of chocolate and raspberries. I've paired them in multiple desserts such as trifles, tiramisu and custards. But raspberry chocolate mousse was missing from the list of desserts I've shared so far.
The last time, I made an eggless mousse, but this time, I decided to add eggs. To ensure an airy, fluffy consistency, the eggs should be beaten for a very long time, then gently folded in melted chocolate and whipped cream. I flavored the mousse with raspberry extract and repeated the same flavor by adding chopped fresh raspberries to the whipped cream.
The dessert can be prepared two days in advance, which is ideal when we host dinner parties. Raspberry chocolate mousse never fails to satisfy the sweet tooth of my guests. No chocolate addict can resist!

WASHINGTON - President Bush narrowed his request to Congress yesterday for authorization to launch a unilateral attack against Iraq, offering to impose some limits on a broad resolution he proposed last week.
The new language was an effort to forge a quick agreement on a war resolution that Congress will begin debating next week and will probably approve within the next two weeks.
But it fell short of what many Democrats were looking for. The Bush proposal would give him the authority to invade Iraq without requiring him first to use all possible diplomatic and peaceful means to avoid war.
"There are a number of issues that remain ones that are unresolved, as far as we're concerned," Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle of South Dakota said after he and his fellow Democrats had reviewed the draft.
Tempers were still raw on Capitol Hill from Daschle's angry speech Wednesday in which he accused Bush and his administration of politicizing the debates on Iraq and the proposed Homeland Security Department by questioning Democrats' commitment to national security.
Bush appeared to go out of his way yesterday, in public and in private, to calm tempers.
"The security of our country is the commitment of both political parties," he said after a meeting with House Republicans and Democrats, most of whom support giving Bush broad authority to act against Saddam Hussein. Further debate, Bush vowed, "will be conducted with all civility" and "in a manner that will make Americans proud."
In private, aides to key Democrats were blunt in their assessments of the new White House proposal. They said many Democrats do not regard it as a serious effort to give the United Nations and its weapons inspectors time to work before resorting to an invasion and thus would not garner broad support in Congress.
Republicans, though, all but declared the proposal their final offer to Democrats, suggesting that they were not open to modifications.
"There would be no sentiment for any further changes at this point," Sen. Rick Santorum, a Pennsylvania Republican, said after members of his party had looked over the modified Bush proposal.
Hussein, al-Qaida ties
To bolster their case for removing Hussein and add urgency to their call for a congressional resolution, administration officials have begun stressing what they say are ties between al-Qaida and Hussein.
Bush said yesterday that Hussein's regime "has long-standing and continuing ties to terrorist organizations." On Wednesday he said, "The danger is that al-Qaida becomes an extension of Saddam's madness and his hatred and his capacity to extend weapons of mass destruction around the world."
Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld said yesterday that there is "very reliable reporting of senior level contacts going back a decade" between Iraq and al-Qaida "and of possible chemical and biological agent training."
The United States, Rumsfeld said, has evidence that senior al-Qaida operatives - though not Osama bin Laden - have been in Baghdad "in recent periods."
Administration officials also pressed their case for urgency at the United Nations. Secretary of State Colin L. Powell told Congress that the United States has reached an agreement with Britain on language for a U.N. resolution demanding that Iraq comply with previous resolutions it has ignored or face consequences.
Democrats in the House and Senate - many of whom are deeply opposed to unilateral action against Hussein - are struggling to blend their disparate views on Iraq into one alternative resolution that would give their party a chance to vote yes for use of force.
But the administration's more limited proposal gave Republicans grounds to suggest that Democrats were being unreasonable in holding out.
"I think we have reached a point where there is good language, and we should go forward with it," said Senate Minority Leader Trent Lott, a Mississippi Republican.
Democrats, Lott complained, have had a week to help shape the resolution, and after the changes the White House offered, "any further erosion, I think, is going to be a problem."
The new proposal sets the stage for a congressional debate next week on U.S. policy in Iraq, and a vote on a war resolution before lawmakers' planned departure Oct. 11.
Action limited to Iraq
Bush's latest draft makes several changes to the original measure that have been sought by lawmakers in both parties. The proposal would no longer give Bush sweeping power "to use all means that he determines to be appropriate, including force," against Iraq.
It limits the authorization to "the threat posed by Iraq," dropping a more open-ended clause in the original resolution that said Bush could use the power to "restore international peace and security in the region." And instead of "all means," the new resolution would specify that the president was authorized to use only the U.S. armed forces.
It would also invoke the 1973 War Powers Act, which requires the president to consult with Congress before involving the United States in hostilities, and periodically while such conflicts are under way.
Rep. Henry J. Hyde, an Illinois Republican who is chairman of the House International Relations Committee, has floated a resolution that would let Bush use "all necessary and appropriate" force to defend the United States from the threat of Iraq. It would also invoke the War Powers Act and require the president to report to Congress every 60 days.
Democrats responding
As a war vote on Capitol Hill draws closer, and especially after Wednesday's partisan acrimony, Democrats are increasingly voicing concerns about Bush's Iraq policy. "I would not support the resolution as it was presented," Sen. Barbara A. Mikulski, a Maryland Democrat, said last night in a statement. "I would prefer a more multilateral approach."
Like many in her party, Mikulski says the administration has not made it clear enough what an invasion of Iraq - and its aftermath - might look like.
"I don't know whether our military men and women will be greeted with flags or landmines," she said.
Some Democrats who want to impose further conditions on Bush's authority to wage war against Iraq worry that splits within their party are hurting their efforts to forge a strong Democratic resolution.
Yesterday's meeting between Bush, Republicans and some Democratic hawks in the House alarmed some of those Democrats and convinced them that a debate on Iraq would be divisive.
"We've made our case to the United Nations; it seems to me we ought to give the U.N. a chance to act," said Rep. Albert R. Wynn, a Prince George's County Democrat.
Bush stressed during the White House meeting yesterday, lawmakers present said, that force in Iraq would be a final option after he made a serious effort at diplomacy.
"He made clear war is a last resort," said Rep. Chet Edwards, a Texas Democrat, adding that the meeting was "beginning the process of putting behind us the rancor of" Wednesday.
Rep. Eliot L. Engel, a New York Democrat, said Bush was clearly trying to "give Democrats an olive branch" after the accusations from Daschle.
"He was extremely conciliatory," Engel said. "I would not say it was an apology, but the president clearly understands that everyone is damaged if this becomes a political fight, and he went out of his way to heal those wounds."

So you made a New Year's resolution to lose a little weight, but not at the expense of your fast food habit, right?
Well, Del Taco might have just the thing: Turkey!
The chain recently introduced ground turkey as an option for its tacos and CrunchTada.
The seasoned ground turkey has 33 percent less fat compared to the chain's seasoned ground beef.
A hard-shell turkey taco has just 150 calories.
The fast food chain is offering guests a coupon for a free turkey taco with any purchase. Just visit www.deltaco.com/turkey to get yours.
Now, while Del Taco will probably be around a while, independent restaurants are a little more vulnerable.
Sometimes we spot when a restaurant closes and we watch for something new to take its place.
Sometimes it happens quickly, and other times it takes years for someone else to take a chance.
This one we definitely didn't see coming.
Unbeknownst to us, downtown Redlands' Charlie Jewell's closed toward the end of last year.
Shortly before the new year, Darby's American Cantina opened in its place.
The new restaurant is designed to be more family-friendly than its former tenant.
Darby's is co-owned by John Darby, who for 20 years owned Celebrities Sports Grill in San Bernardino.
One of the eatery's signature items is a new twist on a patty melt, with an 80/20 beef/chorizo patty, topped with a fried egg, avocado slices, and slices of cheddar and pepper jack cheeses.
Can't wait to try it!
Darby's, 1 E. State St., is open from 11 a.m. daily and closes at 1 a.m. Thursday through Saturday and midnight the rest of the week.
One way cities and chambers of commerce have helped support the restaurant business is through restaurant week events.
In the past, we've seen restaurant weeks in Chino Valley, Claremont, Palm Springs and downtown Riverside.
Now, we've got a new one: The Greater Ontario Convention and Visitors Bureau has announced the inaugural Inland Empire Restaurant Week.
The event will run March 21-30 and while no participants have been announced yet, the organizers are expecting about 100 restaurants in San Bernardino and Riverside counties to participate.
As is typical for these events, restaurants will offer specially-priced lunches and dinners designed to highlight the best the restaurant has to offer.

In recent years, I have seen the bilateral relationship between the United States and Turkmenistan become closer and more wide-ranging. Of all the areas where our two countries have made progress, the deepening of commercial ties stands out in particular.
To find evidence of this, one needs to look no further than the U.S.-Turkmenistan Business Forum, a joint endeavor of the U.S. Embassy, Government of Turkmenistan, and U.S.-Turkmenistan Business Council held last week in Ashgabat. This incarnation of the Business Forum -- the second of its kind -- convened speakers from academia and industry, as well as representatives of the U.S. and Turkmenistan governments, for expert-level discussions on communications, transportation, and innovative technologies.
These are critical sectors in Turkmenistan's strategy to enhance national and regional development. Turkmenistan has ambitious plans to meet its growing need for telecommunication services and equipment (including mobile communication and Internet), introduce advanced technology across all sectors of the economy, and thereby attract foreign investment. With the country's first commercial telecommunication satellite launch planned for the end of 2014 (an endeavor being led by U.S.-based SpaceX), Turkmenistan is actively seeking to employ the newest technologies to expand the breadth of the existing spectrum of telecom services in the country.
The government is also prioritizing the development of a robust transportation sector and has already initiated large-scale reforms to improve its road, rail, and air infrastructure, including plans to construct 1,800 new facilities throughout the country at a total cost of $40 billion this decade. The benefits of this drive do not stop at Turkmenistan's borders, however. New rail routes will provide Central Asia with a major link to the Persian Gulf and further integrate Afghanistan into the region. Turkmenistan Airlines' fleet of Boeing jets are increasingly flying to more and more diverse international destinations, bringing the people of this country closer to the rest of the world.
With such rapid developments taking place, the day-long Business Forum was an optimal opportunity to highlight the United States unparalleled products and services as well as demonstrate the ways in which America's technology and know-how can help address some of these important issues facing Turkmenistan. Representatives of some of the United States' leading companies, including Motorola, Hewlett Packard, Microsoft, and Caterpillar, among others, offered their expertise and showcased the ways they can support Turkmenistan's impressive economic growth, aid its efforts at diversification, and speed its integration into the global economy.
I have no doubt that the Forum not only served to further deepen our countries' commercial relationship, but accurately demonstrated that American companies stand ready to support the Government of Turkmenistan in its continued development initiatives, whether they be launching satellites into space or expanding the computer literacy of Turkmenistan's students in this increasingly interconnected world.
The U.S.-Turkmenistan Business Forum has come a long way in a short while, evolving from an occasional special event to a fixture on the calendar. Its meetings and sessions allow for a previously unprecedented level of interaction between American businesses and their Turkmen counterparts and show the value of what U.S. companies can offer and indeed have already offered this country. The U.S. Embassy looks forward with great optimism to future forums and further opportunities to boost private sector engagement in this growing Central Asian nation.

A 25-7 run in the first 11 minutes of the second half boosted Wabash to a 73-57 win Wednesday night over Denison University to allow Wabash to improve to 13-0 for the season and 5-0 in the North Coast Athletic Conference.
The victory sets up a major showdown Saturday afternoon in Crawfordsville between the seventh-ranked Little Giants and number-one ranked Wooster (13-0, 4-0 NCAC).
View photos from the Little Giants' win here and here.
Senior guard Wes Smith (left) was nearly perfect from the field, connecting on 10-of-12 shots, while junior guard Aaron Zinnerman almost matched his teammate shot for shot. Zinnerman scored a career-best 15 points on 6-of-8 shooting, including 3-of-4 from 3-point range.
Wabash hit its first nine shots from the field, but the Big Red answered by firing in their first four shot attempts. The Little Giants eventually stretched their lead to 11 points on a Zinnerman jumper with 13:50 remaining in the first half. Dimonde Hale and Marr Mansfield responded with eight points to trim the Wabash advantage back to three points, eventually trailing the home Little Giants by four at the break.
The Little Giants shot a blistering 68 percent (15-of-22) from the field in the opening period and came out of the locker room in the second half just as hot. After two free throws from Brett Tiberi cut the lead to 37-35 in the first 15 seconds of the final period, Wabash exploded for 13 of the next 16 points scored in the game. Zinnnerman drilled a 3-pointer, followed by back-to-back treys and a layup by senior Ben Burkett to put Wabash in front 50-38. Derek Bailey, who joined Smith and Zinnerman in double-figure scoring with a season-high 12 points, added jumper to answer a basket by Alex Longi from Denison. Another Smith basket with 13 minutes left to play pushed the lead to 15 points. The Big Red would get no closer in the contest as Wabash cruised to the 16-point win.
Wabash finished 25-of-51 from the field for 49 percent. Defensively the Little Giants held Denison (4-9, 1-4 NCAC) to eight second-half baskets. Hale finished with 15 points to lead the Big Red in scoring, while Tiberi tossed in 11. Wabash dominated the boards, outrebounding Denison 41-23. Nick Curosh grabbed a career-best 11 boards to pace the Little Giants. Zinnerman (right) had four assists to lead Wabash in that category.
Saturday's game between Wabash and Wooster will tipoff at 2 p.m. at Chadwick Court.

I didnt plant these. They look as though they were there before I brought the house and probably grew as wild, but were cut down.
Either way, they have emerged from the hedging, two unknown citrus trees, but they are actually quite large so I think they count as assets.
I have read that this type of wild citrus is much less likely to fruit as compared to citrus grown on a grafted stock root. We'll see.

Today's teachers are using two powerful approaches—Differentiated Instruction (DI) and Response to Intervention (RTI)—to help every child succeed academically. In this course, you'll learn how to put this "dynamic duo" to work in your own classroom teaching and lesson plans.
You'll start by exploring different learning styles and delving into a concept called multiple intelligences. In addition, you'll look at the factors that motivate students to learn in a child-centered classroom.
After that, you'll master the basics of both DI and RTI and learn how these two approaches work hand-in-hand to enhance children's learning. You'll find out how to perform different types of assessments, monitor your students' progress, select research-based teaching materials, address learners' diverse needs, and move students up or down the RTI tiers so they're getting just the right help they need.
In addition, you'll find out why collaboration is crucial when you're implementing RTI and DI. You'll discover how you and your colleagues will work together as a team to identify at-risk students, plan solutions, and address problems quickly and efficiently. And finally, you'll learn how to get parents involved as active partners in the education process.
Case studies and examples will help you see how DI and RTI strategies work in the real world, and you'll get lots of ideas for hands-on activities you can start using right away in your own classroom. Throughout this course, you'll have opportunities to practice new techniques and exchange ideas with fellow educators and your instructor. You'll come away armed with powerful and easy-to-implement strategies that will benefit every student you teach.
Note: To receive 25 hours of instruction in the State of Oregon, please ensure your school is eligible to issue professional development units, and that the course is approved by your professional learning coordinator.

text: California's Quota Quandary April 2, 2013 09:03 PM Tweet The state's three major dairy cooperatives have agreed they won't pursue a Federal Order unless California's quota system is protected. © Catherine Merlo TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Catherine Merlo Farm Journal's Milk Western and Online Editor Email When you have a $1 billion asset, you don't give it up easily As California's dairy producers consider adopting a Federal Milk Marketing Order (FMMO), they've made one thing clear: They're not willing to relinquish their quota entitlements, valued statewide at $1 billion. Quota has been part of California's state milk pricing system for more than 40 years. Owning quota entitles producers to as much as $1.70 per cwt. of additional income. Bonus Content California pool quota FAQs CDFA Pool Quota FAQs "[Quota] selling prices move with each transaction made," says Eric Erba, senior vice president with California Dairies Inc. (CDI). Most recent prices are about $420 per pound, but typically range from $400 to $500. But how to incorporate quota into California's FMMO has raised questions, since no other federal order area except Virginia, includes a similar pricing entitlement. "There's nothing in the federal system that looks like California's quota system," Erba says. The state's three major dairy cooperatives—CDI, Land O'Lakes and Dairy Farmers of America—have agreed they won't pursue an FMMO unless there are assurances that California's quota system is protected. In fact, they're seeking legislation that would allow California's quota to continue. The three organizations represent more than 80% of California's milk production. "Many dairymen have counted on the value of quota persisting," Erba says. "If it went to zero, that would greatly impact their plans for their operations. A value of zero for quota would be a poor outcome in the eyes of many California dairy producers." Adopting a federal order with quota has generated numerous questions. For example, Erba says, quota can be held today only by dairy operators in California. If California becomes part of the federal order system, could those outside of the state hold quota? Some 60% of the state's dairy producers own quota. California's producers can only obtain quota by purchasing it or receiving it by transfer. A unit of quota entitles the owner to a higher solids-not-fat (SNF) price. That now amounts to a maximum of 19.5¢ per pound. The actual price a dairy producer receives depends on the area where the dairy operates. California's quota came into being for a reason, Erba says. The quota program was an inducement to encourage the state's dairy producers to vote for the state pooling system in 1969. Before that, there was no sharing of milk sale revenue. Milk pricing was handled by individual contracts. "At that time, it was thought that quota would be allocated to all dairy producers, and eventually they would become equalized," Erba says. "As quota continued to be distributed, its value would decrease. But because Class 1 sales did not increase, less quota was allocated than anticipated, and quota took on value. It didn't work out as expected." Today, the entire state pool funds the quota payout as a redistribution of milk sale revenues. Quota is no longer funded only by Class 1 revenues, as some believe. California's industry is awaiting a study, conducted by dairy economists Mark Stephenson and Chuck Nicholson, of how a federal order might impact the Golden State. In the meantime, producer interests are starting the groundwork for a pro-posal asking USDA to consider a California federal order—with a provision to allow the continued existence of quota.

If there's one of these handy guides for falling putts...please post it.
Perpendicular is determinable both on a straight line and a curved line.
Out-of-bounds relief became an issue with my card Sunday morning at Frostbreaker. Bumping thread to bring a visual aid to the discussion we had.This is meant to be a friendly reminder as to two out-of-bounds rules. Not busting nuts, just improving knowledge for all.
I think the perpendicular illustration was to try to clarify a question raised on irregular OB. Example would be the OB is a right angle and the disc lands off center on the corner in bounds.
