Storms and wind and intense heat in Wonder Valley today. In the distance is cabin #3 which I'm not even going to think about renovating until 2017… If I survive #1 and #2.

Still thinking about my studio visit with Linda Carmella Sibio earlier this week. Such a smart, prolific, courageous artist. Linda has been living the desert since the 1990s when she had to leave Los Angeles after being diagnosed as "incurable" and threatened with being institutionalized for life – she isn't your typical desert artist, but her work speaks to the condition of the desert. (isolation, anonymity, economy and freedom to do your thing) I keep thinking that this savvy lady should be supported by important art institutions (not mental ones!) An excerpt from her statement rings so true: "My philosophical stance includes the modern day ostracizing of the insane from a productive society. In ancient times the insane were looked to for insights and guidance, today they clean dishes and bus tables. We can learn a lot about our society and culture by how the mad are treated. As we dispose of human beings so then we go toward a disposable culture.The fragmented thinking of the schizophrenic is actually a window into the placement of our culture. We are living in a deconstructed world no longer thinking linear thoughts. Our perceptions are continually interrupted by television, Internet, video surveillance, the media – we no longer have a single thought. We think in a multi-layered complex pattern. In order for our culture to go forward the darkness of the dismembered body needs to come into the light. We need to fragment in order to become whole again."

Major overhaul on the front hill this morning (you can almost see the house now) – thanks so much to Sarah and Margaret for powering through this job with me, despite the heat and burly windstorm. While we were working I kept having memories of my original fantasy that moving to the desert would somehow lessen my workload…

Sticker prices at the top private colleges exceed $60,000. Even with scholarships, typical middle-class families face bills totaling $24,500 a year at private colleges, and $16,500 at public ones, the Department of Education reports.
Think you'll have to tell your kid that her top prospect isn't a possibility? Better to do it sooner than later. "Ideally, parents would have the affordability conversation when the child is starting high school so he or she can be realistic," says Mark Montgomery, a college-admissions adviser in Denver.
The Ground Rules
Get the facts. Prepare a summary of your family's financial situation along with the amount you can afford to contribute to college expenses vs. the net prices provided by the colleges' aid letters or their net price calculators, says Deborah Fox, a college-funding adviser in San Diego.
Be the grownup. Don't let your kid's anger and disappointment cause you to do something you'll regret, like fighting back or taking loans you can't afford. "Hold your line," says Mashpee, Mass., social worker Beth Wechsler.
When You're Face to Face
1. Show, don't tell: "Honey, we are so proud of you. But you've heard how the prices of some colleges have gone crazy. Let's look at our family finances to see whether your top picks are in our reach."
Why this works: "Saying no without explanation may cause kids to shut down," says Nathan Dungan, a Minneapolis family wealth consultant and founder of ShareSaveSpend.com. Instead, treat your child as the adult he or she is becoming: Explain what you can afford, what the school will cost, and the impact of any gap.

2. Apologize: "We're sorry. We should have looked at the numbers before promising that you could go to any school you wanted."
Why this works: Some children will become upset at parents who change the terms of a commitment, says psychologist Laura Markham, author of Peaceful Parent, Happy Kids.
You won't be able to move the conversation forward until you acknowledge the mistake, she adds. Apologize without getting defensive about past spending. "Don't say, 'But the old car was breaking down.' Say, 'I know how you had your heart set on going there. I understand why you're so upset,'" Markham advises.
3. Allow for grief: "Let's take a break and reconvene later."
Why this works: A child who is fixated on a particular college "will go through all the grieving stages, including denial, rage, and acceptance" when that dream dies, Markham says. To have a productive conversation, wait until the emotions on both sides calm down.

4. Ask open-ended questions: "What about this school made it so attractive to you?"
Why this works: By pinning down what the student is seeking, families can focus on lower-cost alternatives that still match the student's dreams, says Wechsler.
5. Make a game plan: "Let's figure out what our options are."
Why this works: "You're getting the family working together as a team" while nudging the child to take responsibility for charting his own future, says Montgomery. Offer help with options that won't harm the family's finances, such as applying for more aid, starting out at a lower-cost school, or deferring for a year to allow Junior to work and save.

Pictured: Chris Rouches had a big day for the Crimson at Dartmouth on Sunday but it was not enough as the team was eliminated on the last day of the league season.
HANOVER, N.H. – The Harvard baseball team took the Red Rolfe Division title chase to the final day of Ivy League play on Sunday but was eliminated by the Big Green, which took a pair of games on its home field by scores of 9-0 and 9-7.
For Harvard (17-25, 10-10 Ivy), the future looks bright as the Crimson played in Sunday's meaningful doubleheader despite a host of pitching injuries and a roster with just two senior letterwinners. The Crimson completes its season on Wednesday at Boston College.
Dartmouth (23-15, 13-7 Ivy) advances to the Ivy League Championship Series where it will play at Columbia next weekend. The Big Green took away the chance for more dramatics early in the first game and cruised, 9-0.
After a dominant 1-2-3 first inning for Harvard's Dan Zailskas (0-1), making his first start of the season, things went badly in the second. The first two pitches of the inning resulted in a single and a hit batsman and Jason Brooks followed with a three-run homer on a 2-1 breaking ball to give the Big Green an early momentum shot.
Brooks delivered again in the bottom of the third after another hit batsman, this one with two outs, saw him follow with a double to the gap in right-center for an important 4-0 lead.
Dartmouth struck again with two outs in the fourth after Harvard went to the bullpen as Sam Beam lined a 1-1 pitch inside the first base bag for a two-run triple and a 6-0 lead. Brooks then delivered a two-run triple to right in the fifth for an 8-0 run as Dartmouth pulled away, scoring another run in the sixth inning
Kyle Hendricks (4-4) used a quick-pitch strategy to keep Harvard hitters off balance as he faced the minimum through six innings with only a line drive hit by Chris Rouches against him. Jeff Reynolds singled in the seventh and stole second but that was all for the Crimson would get.
Both teams contended with an extremely wide strike zone in the second game but got the bats going late. Harvard banged out 14 hits but could not hold a 6-3 lead as Dartmouth scored five times in the eighth to win it.
After falling behind, Dillon O'Neill plated a run in the second inning with a sacrifice fly to tie the game 1-1. A walk and a crucial throwing error on a pickoff attempt from Andrew Ferreira led to two Dartmouth runs in the fifth to break the tie.
Harvard got the bats going in the seventh, scoring five times on five hits to claim a 6-3 lead. Zailskas led off with a hustle double to left field and Rouches followed with a gapper to the wall in left-center to make it a 3-2 game. Dillon O'Neill followed with a single through the left side to put runners at the corners and a wild pitch tied the game. Reynolds then singled sharply to center field, again putting runners on the corners. Sam Franklin drove an 0-1 pitch through the left side for a 4-3 lead. Sean O'Hara reached on a fielder's choice where Dartmouth second baseman Ennis Coble failed to record an out and the bases were loaded with one out. Tyler Albright fought back from a pair of tough strike calls to loft a sacrifice fly to right field. Harvard then pulled off a double steal with Franklin scoring at home and O'Hara moving to third on a throwing error home.
Working against reliever Dan Berardo, Dartmouth got a run back in the bottom of the frame on a leadoff triple from Ennis and an RBI ground out from Matt Peterson.
Harvard answered with two outs in the eighth as Danny Moskovits laced a double to the gap in left and came around on a triple to the gap from O'Neill to make it 7-4.
In the bottom of the frame, consecutive doubles for Dartmouth chased Berardo in favor of Joey Novak (1-3). Brooks greeted Novak with an RBI single through the left side to make it a 7-6 game. A throwing error loaded the bases with one out and Peterson regained the lead for Dartmouth when his slow dribbler inside the third base bag resulted in a two-run double and an 8-7 lead. Following another pitching change, David Turnbull plated an unearned run with an infield single.
Harvard was unable to push the needed runs across in the top of the ninth despite getting a runner on. Reynolds, Franklin, Zailskas, O'Neill, O'Hara and Rouches all had multiple hits for the Crimson.

Mr. Speaker, the Conservative government will further restrict access to employment insurance.
Thirty-four per cent of Canadians have jobs that do not fit into a little box—part-time, temporary or multiple jobs. These workers typically do not have access to employment insurances. Many of them belong to marginalized groups, and this bill will put them at an even greater disadvantage.
Why are the Conservatives attacking our most vulnerable workers?

Ray Bradbury, literary icon, is remembered as pioneer of modern sci-fi
Ray Bradbury was a local celebrity when I was growing up in Southern California. Sure, he had a national reputation, but to us, he was the local author who got trotted out to lots of events, including Career Day at the University of Redlands, when I was then working as a features editor and photographer for the campus newspaper, The Bulldog.
My candid photo of Ray Bradbury, featuring a diabolical smile that made him look a lot like Jack Nicholson, ran on the front page next to the story by a staff writer. Oddly enough, his advice is just as good today as it was back then.
"Explode every morning, put yourself back together each night," he said, describing his passion for life.
He talked about Mr. Electro, whom he called a "fantastic creator of marvels." A magician, Mr. Electro sat in his electric chair every night and was electrocuted in front of all the people, young and old, of Waukegan, Illinois, where Bradbury grew up. When the electricity shot through body, his arm shot up, sword in hand, and he knighted all the boys who'd come to see him.
Bradbury recalled how Mr. Electro touched his forehead with the sword, and said, "Live Forever!"

Isn't this a great portrait of Dr King?
My friend, Tina Steele Lindsey created it to honor Dr. King for his birthday. You can view her artwork at her blog found here and website here.
I had been pondering all day yesterday regarding what I might post today for Dr. King's birthday, and then I came across Tina's portrait on Facebook as it rolled across my wall last night and some of the comments left there inspired me a bit.
The U2 song, (Pride) in the Name of Love was mentioned. Here are the lyrics:
One man come in the name of love
One man come and go
One come he to justify
One man to overthrow
In the name of love
What more in the name of love
In the name of love
What more in the name of love
One man caught on a barbed wire fence
One man he resist
One man washed on an empty beach.
One man betrayed with a kiss
In the name of love
What more in the name of love
In the name of love
What more in the name of love
(nobody like you...)
Early morning, April 4
Shot rings out in the Memphis sky
Free at last, they took your life
They could not take your pride
In the name of love
What more in the name of love
In the name of love
What more in the name of love
In the name of love
What more in the name of love...
Notice the song discusses two men…..Dr. King is one of them.
Originally, the intention behind the song was to make a few points regarding President Ronald Reagan and his pride regarding the military might of the United States.
However, the lead singer for U2, Bono, changed the intended focus for the song after reading Let the Trumpet Sound: A Life of Martin Luther King, Jr. by Stephen B. Oates as well as a biography of Malcom X.
Bono became fascinated by the opposite methods of fighting for civil rights…..the non-violent and violent….which is very clear from the lyrics.
One little correction needs to made with the song lyrics, however. The line "Early morning, April 4" referring to Dr. King's death is incorrect since he was assassinated in the evening. It would be interesting to allow students to review the accounts of Dr. King's death and then have them peruse the song lyrics to discover the error. Bono often corrects the lyrics when he sings the song live.
Unfortunately, critics panned all of the lyrics. Kurt Loder of Rolling Stone said, "'Pride' gets over on the strength of its resounding beat and big, droning bass line not on the nobility of its lyrics which are unremarkable."
In fact, even Bono stated….."It's just a load of vowel sounds ganging up on a great man."
Well, that's their opinions. I think the song is worthy to include with any lesson or unit of study regarding Dr. King….especially when we remember his birthday.
Here is a great video I found online at YouTube which combines actually footage and images of Dr. King along with other Civil Rights Era images with the U2 song as the background music:
Happy Birthday, Dr. King!
And thanks again to my friend, Tina for her wonderful portrait.
Here are two past articles I've written concerning Dr. King you might be interested in:

Thank you so much for including my drawing of Dr. King in your wonderful post on this important day.
Excellent article, although I take exception to the critic's appraisal of the song lyrics. Many Russians view Dr. King as a hero.
Good job.

You are very welcome, Tina.
Vassili, I believe I take exception as well. Thanks for visiting. I hope you return to History Is Elementary often in the future. I adore new readers. :)

I was a teenager when this song came out, and moved by the lyrics. Different original intention, a mistake in one fact? I didn't know any of that at the time. I thought it was a moving tribute for a great man.

Texting and driving could soon be illegal in Florida
Local politicians pushing for more support for bills banning habit
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The long battle to make it illegal for Florida drivers to text while driving may soon be over.
Several bills are moving through the state House in Tallahassee aimed at stopping texting drivers from getting behind the wheel.
Federal highway statistics show 8,000 accidents a day are caused by distracted drivers nationwide, while more than 25,000 were reported in Florida last year alone.
State lawmakers say they see increasing support for such a bill.
State lawmakers looking to get Florida to join the 39 states that prohibit texting while driving said they have gained the upper hand.
State Senators Nancy Detert, R-Venice, and Thad Altman, R-Brevard County, have filed separate legislation that would ban drivers from texting while behind the wheel.
Textface.com takes hidden cameras across the nation's highways to catch drivers texting behind the wheel. They say texting drivers exhibit the same behavior as a drunk driver or someone driving with their eyes closed.
Both legislators are confident they will have support on both sides of the aisle to get a texting while driving ban passed in the 2013 session in Tallahassee.
"If you poll the generic public, even those who may text and drive from a particular time, they'll tell you this should be outlawed," Sen. Thad Altman said.
"Forty percent of people ride with people who text and drive, and they don't feel like it's a problem," Detert said.
Detert's proposal, Senate Bill 52, would make texting while driving a "secondary offense," what the seat belt law used to be before being upgraded to a primary offense.
She said she has been trying to pass a "no texting" bill for five years.

Forms Jobs
There are several traffic laws and regulations in place to help ensure Winston-Salem's roads and highways are safe places to travel. Enforcement of these laws can be stressful for both the motorist and the police officer. Here are a few tips that can alleviate the tension of a traffic stop.
Being stopped at night, particularly along a dark stretch of road, can heighten the tension for a motorist and an officer. Officers do not object to drivers proceeding to the nearest well-lit area. Simply acknowledge the officer by turning on your flashers and drive at a reduced speed.
Always place your hands on the steering wheel until the officer can make a safety evaluation as he or she approaches your car.
If asked to step out of the car, walk to the rear of your vehicle to the side away from traffic, or as directed by the officer, using the car as a barrier between you and on-coming cars.
The officer will ask you for two important pieces of information, your driver's license and automobile registration. You will be told the reason for the traffic stop.
Please do not attempt to argue with the officer. This may only increase the tension in an already uncomfortable situation.
Depending on why the officer felt it necessary to initiate the traffic stop you may, or may not, be given a citation or warning ticket. If you receive a citation you will be advised of a court date which allows you the opportunity to take your case before a judge. Certain traffic violations require that if charged you are taken into custody and must appear before a magistrate.
Once business with the officer is finished, you should merge, with caution, back into the flow of traffic.
Do not assume that the officer knows you are a perfect, law-abiding citizen. Law enforcement can be dangerous work so officers must be cautious at all times.

Your doctor or midwife will be paying careful attention to your baby's position in the coming weeks -- some babies do decide to turn back round again.
Your baby's skull is still quite pliable and not completely joined, in part so he can ease out of the relatively narrow birth canal. But the bones in the rest of his body are hardening. Your baby's skin is also gradually becoming less red and wrinkled.
If you're a first-time mother, your child's head may move into the pelvis this week and press firmly against your cervix. (This happens for about half of all first-time mothers.) If you're a second-time mum, you can expect this to happen a week before labour -- and for some this won't happen until the start of labour. Hoping to manage your labour naturally? Here's all you need to know about natural pain relief.
You may notice that your feet and ankles are quite swollen by the end of the day. Water retention, also known as oedema, is often worse in warm weather and late in the day. Surprisingly, keeping hydrated helps reduce water retention. Your body -- particularly your kidneys -- and your baby need plenty of fluids, so drink up. If you suddenly feel swollen or puffy in your hands or face, however, call your doctor -- it may be a sign of pre-eclampsia.

Two stops are done - two more to go. The Crew and all Riders will have a short break before we will capture the beach at Scheveningen.
The MINI Kitesurf Tour Europe visited already the Kitemaster Almanarre and the Kitesurf Cup Sylt. Both events were successfull and very very sunny. In France both disciplines got results. On Sylt last week there was unfortunatley not enough wind to finish the Freestyle competition.
The Kitesurf Cup Sylt and Kitesurf Tour Europe Crew left the island last night and is preparing for the next stop at the German Nationals.
The whole crew likes to say "Thank you" to all Riders, helping hands, sponsors and partners at the event side for two great events so far - we hope we will stay that succesfull in September and October.
If you missed the action you can watch all videos on our vimeo-channel.
We are already in preparation for Scheveningen and Castelldefels. Stay tuned for the latest news, registered Riders and Notice of Race.

The Book of Genesis today gives us the beginning of the story of Abraham,
our faith in faith. Abraham begins as Abram and hears God speaking to him,
calling him to leave his own country and his people. Abram is to live for
God alone. This never means that Abram will be without other people in his
life or that he will not love other people. It only means that God is
first and that Abram will try to do God's will to the best of his ability.
This is also what God is asking of you and of me today: leave on an inner
journey, go with God, do God's will not matter how uneasy it may make us.
Saint Paul gives this same advice to Timothy in the second reading today,
from the Second Letter to Timothy: He called us to a holy life, not
according to our works but according to his own design and the grace
bestowed on us in Christ Jesus.
The secret of any spiritual life is to seek God's will and then to try to
do that will with as much faithfulness as possible. We are humans and weak
and most of us are not saints, but we can keep on trying to do the will of
God. Lent is a time to strengthen our resolve by becoming more aware of
God's love for us.
The Gospel of Matthew today gives us an account of the transfiguration of
Jesus. No one is really sure what happened to our Lord at the
transfiguration. It is as though the divine nature of our Lord cannot be
contained and begins to break through. Later in Christian spirituality, it
comes to be recognized that this divine nature is also ours by adoption and
can also begin to manifest itself in us if we strive to be faithful.
Lent is the time of transfiguration for us! We plead with the Lord in this
time of Lent to transform us, to transfigure us, to help do His will with
joy. At times, we rebel against the Lord and then we plead for His mercy,
but always trusting completely in His love and in His will to save us and
transform us. Lord, have mercy on us! We are sinners and we trust in you!
May your love transform us.
Reflections are available for the following Sundays:

Deepfake Videos Are Getting Terrifyingly Real
Clip: Season 46 | 3m 36s
Deepfakes are an increasingly popular editing technique that uses artificial intelligence to alter faces and voices in videos. Part of the name comes from the AI used to create them, deep learning. Similar technology has been used in Hollywood for years, but with AI getting better and more accessible, today they're all over the internet.

This week we started our conversation with a discussion about what educators can do to connect with Haitians and support efforts in Haiti. This conversation turned into a plan. We created a wiki for educators in wikispaces. Please come see what we've created and join in with your class. http://kids4haiti.wikispaces.com/
Chat Archive:
11:29:56 Maureen : Good morning eveyone
11:33:52 LisaParisi : Audio is on ETTA and Ustream
11:34:19 Scott Shelhart : Ustream sounds OK
11:35:07 LisaParisi : http://712educators.about.com/od/teachereducation/tp/becomingateacher.htm
11:35:13 Cathy Ev : Weather is terrible here
11:35:22 Cathy Ev : connection keeps droping
11:35:32 Cathy Ev : I'll hang as long as I can :)
11:36:05 sheila -> Room 1: We are in the Conversations chat room this week.
11:36:29 sheila_a : http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqsww/
11:36:48 Cathy Ev : Don't I wish
11:37:31 McTeach : I can answer that!
11:40:07 Cathy E : FYI: http://hundreds4haiti.pbworks.com/
11:40:21 Maureen : Did you show the Allison Miller TED talk? The one where she shows how Americainized our news is?
11:40:36 LisaParisi : No Maureen, I have to check that one out.
11:41:15 Maureen : @Lisa- It's a few years old, but shows the "bloated" American slant in the news we receive.
11:42:16 Maureen : http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/alisa_miller_shares_the_news_about_the_news.html
11:46:19 LisaParisi : http://www.amazon.com/Material-World-Global-Family-Portrait/dp/0871564300
11:46:50 Maureen : We have 2 teachers at our school who work with kids in Haiti. They started a soccer team for kids down there after a former student (one of their kids) did an internship there. The student flew down as soon as he heard- as a photojournalist and to find his friends, help.
11:47:08 sheila_a : http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/worldbalance/material.html
11:48:08 jackiegerstein : I can't move on - this is too devasting
11:48:18 McTeach : We've done penny wars before
11:48:25 Maureen : His communications back with his mom- our French teacher, have been spotty. He is safe, he has found some of the kids, still looking for others.
11:48:59 mariaknee : I'm very disturbed by this crisis. as devastating as war - so much sadness.
11:50:40 Leslie D. -> Room 1: i cannot get into the conversations room??? sorry
11:50:59 jackiegerstein : I am teaching pre-service teachers about learning centers next week. Plan to use Haiti and the earthquake as a theme - collecting lessons - http://gl.am/C4X3o let me know if you have any others
11:51:48 Maureen : Our kids- Middle school, have met about it and are trying to come up with ideas. The younger grades had the option to have the 2 teachers who are directly involved come in and talk.
11:51:59 jackiegerstein : I used to run grief and loss groups in the school - sometimes kids wait until the adults bring it up and then REALLY talk about it
11:52:18 McTeach : It's not just the size of the earthquake that causes the devastation.
11:52:46 McTeach : It's also the lack of money for proper engineering
11:53:15 sheila -> Room 1: ok
11:53:20 sheila -> Room 1: will pull you in.
11:53:48 jackiegerstein : Words and language cannot identify the emotions to express this
11:53:51 Maureen : Haiti is basically deforested, so there is a lot of other damage as well. The bulk of the people had nothing- now they are starving, etc... it's a disaster.
11:53:55 Leslie D. -> Room 1: yes
11:54:21 sheila -> Room 1: Anyone else want to join the chat for the Conversations show?
11:55:03 jackiegerstein : We can't forgot about them in the weeks and months to come
11:55:19 McTeach : Jackie...I'm collecting everything I find about Haiti in my Diigo links: http://www.diigo.com/user/mcteach/Haiti
11:55:19 Leslie D. : long-term
11:55:28 LisaParisi : Anyone want into the skype call?
11:55:28 jackiegerstein : Thanks McTeach!
11:55:45 McTeach : No problem!
11:56:26 jackiegerstein : We need to practice global stewardship and help them recover days, weeks, months, years from now
11:56:38 jackiegerstein : We should have been doing so all along -
11:56:45 sheila_a : https://disastersafe.redcross.org/
11:57:06 McTeach : Yes, jackie....we need to keep this in front of everyone so they don't forget that they will need help for YEARS!
11:57:56 jackiegerstein : I am hoping, thinking, planning to visit Haiti this summer - to visit an orphanage or two to offer a type of summer "camp" - maybe help some of the kids regain some of their childhood - at least for a short time
11:59:15 LisaParisi : http://www.independent.ie/opinion/editorial/future-of-haiti-is-in-our-hands-2017408.html
11:59:15 McTeach : My 7th graders want to raise enough money to build a community center in Haiti. They have big ideas!
11:59:23 Maureen : @jackiegerstein- that's how friends of mine have become involved- started with a soccer team. Then moved into school connections
11:59:45 Leslie D. : @McTeach That sounds great. Great kids.
11:59:56 McTeach : Leslie, that they are!
12:00:25 McTeach : Could turn in to a wonderful service learning project!
12:00:38 jackiegerstein : Cliched - but think globally, act locally - is a good practice
12:03:09 Maureen : @jackiegerstein If you need a contact check the contact info on my friend's page http://www.konbitfootballayiti.com/
12:03:12 Leslie D. : Great point.
12:03:36 jackiegerstein : Worked with Navajo students - they laughed at the "white" folks coming in to "save" them. I provided them with some learning tools but they took it upon themselves to direct their own learning based on their own culture - learned more from them
12:03:45 McTeach : We need to keep the plight of Haiti in front of people, realizing that it will be YEARS!
12:03:54 jackiegerstein : thanks Maureen
12:04:27 Leslie D. : Good idea. I actually did that too with the bombing in Madrid. We got a letter back from the hospital administrator.
12:04:50 Leslie D. : I just looked up the addresses of a bunch of hospitals.
12:04:51 McTeach : We need to help people remember that we are all connected.
12:05:10 jackiegerstein : Ask the kids -
12:05:11 McTeach : Jen Wagner knows some missionaries down there...she could help get letters down there, perhaps
12:05:52 jackiegerstein : There will be a lot of Mondays to come - sadly
12:06:01 McTeach : You mean you don't???
12:06:13 Leslie D. : sure
12:06:14 jackiegerstein : He is in Haiti
12:06:20 Alexis -> puentesalmundo: al fin
12:06:24 McTeach : You'll never know if you don't ask!
12:07:15 Maureen : I can ask my friend if her son can help make connections for some of you. He is there and has been working in Haiti fro 3 years.
12:07:24 jackiegerstein : I am really focused on the weeks and months to come - maybe book drives etc. - as they attempt to rebuild
12:07:31 LisaParisi : Maureen, that would be fabulous.
12:07:48 LisaParisi : Yes, Jackie, building up schools again.
12:08:06 jackiegerstein : Yes - my though Lisa - I am thinking about OLPC initiatives
12:08:09 jackiegerstein : thought
12:08:17 McTeach : I'm thinking about having my kids do a continuous timeline with photos of Haiti. We can post it to our blog (or a new wiki). Trying to keep it in front of people visually!
12:08:49 McTeach : We'd start with before pictures
12:08:51 jackiegerstein : Yes - planning for the future
12:09:09 Leslie D. : Maybe keep it going from year to year...
12:09:12 jackiegerstein : Adopt a school
12:09:17 McTeach : But we can do SOMETHING!
12:09:26 jackiegerstein : Love the idea
12:09:32 McTeach : Awesome idea!!
12:09:41 Leslie D. : Where can we get the list?
12:09:47 McTeach : I don't think Maria liked the idea...:P
12:10:21 Leslie D. : Not sure.
12:10:38 McTeach : I'll have to check out that Google Earth link that was sent out
12:10:43 sheila_a : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_schools_in_Haiti
12:10:45 Maureen : I can email my friends who are already involved down there and see if I can get a list of school contacts for you. I'll let Maria know via email if I can get them. But you have to realize that things are really bad right now and communications are hard
12:10:47 jackiegerstein : The Haiti citizens started coming to the city because of poverty and unemployment - so large population there
12:11:03 Maureen : Most are French
12:11:18 McTeach : That's a huge list of schools!
12:12:38 Leslie D. : Can you share the list?
12:12:41 Leslie D. : Sure
12:12:59 McTeach : Let's do it!
12:13:11 Leslie D. : I'll get my school on board too.
12:13:13 jackiegerstein : NING?
12:13:13 McTeach : Bless you
12:13:49 LisaParisi : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_schools_in_Haiti
12:13:56 jackiegerstein : Need to contact the schools first to see if they need aid
12:14:19 McTeach : Also if the schools even survived
12:14:58 jackiegerstein : I am going to ask via a Tweet
12:15:15 McTeach : I can contact Catholic Relief Services...they might have info for us
12:15:35 McTeach : Maria's making me dizzy
12:15:39 Maureen : Right now they are in survival mode. They need doctors, water, etc... When things settle a bit you will have more luck with specific schools
12:16:06 mariak : @mcteach - so sorry
12:16:24 McTeach : :D
12:17:29 Maureen : @Lisa I emailed the folks who I know have connnections and asked for info. So I will fwd that info on. Doctors without Borders is also a good org
12:17:46 Leslie D. : Our school used the Red Cross.
12:17:59 jackiegerstein : Just treated it

12:18:16 jackiegerstein : It is now Education without Borders
12:18:43 LisaParisi : Not quite, Jackie...Education Beyond Borders.
12:18:56 LisaParisi : Jackie I don't think I follow you...who are you in twitter?
12:19:24 Scott Shelhart : I've seen lots of scams trying to collect $ for Haiti.... text messages, facebook messages, etc. We should make an effort to teach our students about recognizing scams.
12:19:33 LisaParisi : YEs, Scott.
12:19:35 jackiegerstein : oops

Today's sermon comes from the Rev. Athenae:
If you added up all the fraud and waste and horror that poor people supposedly cause, I doubt it would total a month's worth of time blowing [stuff] up in Afghanistan, but hey, people on public assistance are already down, so that makes them much easier to kick.
I do not understand what we get out of this, as a society. I really, really don't. If I thought making poor people feel like [crud] about themselves would actually end poverty maybe I'd be a little more in favor of doing it, but you know, it's not about the objects of our charity. It's about us, and what we deserve to do. To send outward into the world. To show others.
And all of the testing, the probing, the constant suspicion that somebody somewhere is getting away with something, that doesn't do [anything] to make people any less poor. All it does is make those of us who are not poor a little less rich.

The Americans have always been obsessed with big cars. They have big roads, and the inexplicable need to own cars with big, 5-litre V8 engines. While we can see the charm of a big lump of power under the bonnet - sorry, hood - with fuel now rivalling gold in price its seems the wrong time to be buying a big car.
But lots of people want larger vehicles, and when we were offered the opportunity to try one, we couldn't resist. While lots of people in cities will protest that these things are absurd, or even obscene, we suspect that given one to drive for a day, they might rather enjoy it. So we jumped behind the wheel of the VW Touareg to see what all the fuss was about, and find out if there was any merit to the Chelsea tractor.
How big is too big?
People hate these SUVs. The reasons are many, but they're big, fuel-guzzling monsters that block the view of the road for smaller cars and are significantly worse for pedestrians, should there be a person-meeting-car incident.
But they sell at a frankly alarming rate. First in the US, and now over here in Europe too. Londoners in particular, with their small roads and heavy traffic find the arrival of these large vehicles - calling them cars seems wrong, somehow - quite annoying. But, when you drive one, you start to see why they are so popular.
In the model we tested, which has extras that take the price of the car past £55,000, it felt like we were sitting in a throne, rather than a car seat. And perhaps that's the problem: the drivers of these feel so pampered behind the wheel that they forget about everyone else on the road.
But other road users are quick to remind the drivers of these big cars that they're some sort of wealthy subspecies. A glance here, a refusal to let you out in traffic there. It's all part of a mild bullying that the owners of these cars get to experience. Perhaps it's justifiable, or perhaps it's not, but when you're in the Touareg, you certainly notice it.
And when you're driving, it does something quite good to you as a driver, it makes you hyper-aware of everyone, and forces you to overcompensate for your vehicle. We thanked people in situations that we wouldn't in a normal car. For letting us go when we had right-of-way, or even thanking people who had thanked us.
We wouldn't necessarily say that the Touareg is a pretty car. The back is handsome, in a strange way, but the front has that same problem the Porsche Cayenne has. It's a big car, that has the design sensibilities of a normal estate. At the back, it's got a fat arse, but it's a big car, so it works. At the front, it tries to impersonate a princess, and it's less successful.
But the adjustable ride-height means that this car can look very different, depending on the mode. On the lowest setting, it's much less obviously massive, but jack it up and it's just huge. The lower mode is handy for loading the car, and the majority of driving, while the pumped-up mode is more suitable for going off-road. The question is, will anyone actually take this car off-road? We suspect not, and although it might be capable, it's just not the car you'd buy if your life kept you away from asphalt.
It's fair to say that Volkswagen Group has some of, if not THE best diesel engines going. You only really get one choice of engine in the Touareg range - unless you go for the hybrid or the stupidly powerful 4.2-litre engine - and it's a 3.0 litre TDI. It's available with two different power outputs though: 204ps and 245ps with the 4.2 V8 offering 340ps and the hybrid able to push out 333ps.
We drove the 245ps version, and have to say, it's got quite a lot of grunt to offer. Indeed, it can become a bone of contention if you aren't careful. The main problem is that it's every keen to get you to licence-losing speeds in a very small number of seconds, and will guzzle precious, expensive, diesel by the bucketload while it does so. You might feel that if you can afford £55,000 for a car, you can also afford to cough-up more than £100 per tank of diesel too. We, it has to be said, can't afford a 55 grand car, so stops at the pump were a heartbreaking affair.
Of course, it's possible to drive it economically if you put some effort in. But that feels very ponderous indeed, and it does feel like the gearbox has two modes. Interminably slow, or earth-shatteringly quick. It's quite hard to put it in the middle ground.
And this, of course, is because it's an automatic. Given the choice, we would honestly rather have a manual gearbox in any car we drive. With manual, you're in control, not some damn microchip and you can drive sensibly, or not, but you have the choice. That said, manual gears don't fit a car like this at all, because its a luxury vehicle, designed for comfort, not manual driving.
And the auto box is utterly terrific. It's excitingly smooth, but very capable of delivering power quickly too. Stamp on the right-hand pedal and it drops down a gear, giving you access to the boost that comes with high revs, and the turbocharger. Flick it across to sports mode, and it becomes incredibly aggressive. And even for us, with a heart built for speed, it was a little too much. It seems to leave changing up a little too long, and that means the normally quiet engine makes a full-on racket, but this being a 3-litre V6 diesel, it's not a particularly inspiring sound and it manages to instill a sense of panic in an otherwise very peaceful cabin.
It might sound like we didn't like the way the Touareg is set up, but actually, we found it marvellous most of the time. Loads of power, smooth gearbox and an aggressive sports mode mean that this car won't ever look stupid on the motorway with smaller, more agile cars.
That said, agility is where this car does let itself down a little. Plonk it on country roads, and although it's solid as a rock, it doesn't really feel it. There's always that sense that it's not as planted as a lower car. It might be every bit as solid in reality, but high up there's just not the high-speed ride comfort you'd get in a Golf or A3. But then, this isn't a performance car, it's a luxury vehicle that happens to go forwards very quickly.
Drives itself
Along with the automatic gearbox, there are lots of other ways the Touareg lets you know that, as a driver, you're rapidly becoming superfluous. Our car was fitted with lane departure warnings, proximity alerts - for when the car thinks you're going too fast, too close to another car - and blind spot monitoring. If you just hooked all these things up to a computer, it could quite easily drive the car without you. It also knows the speed limit, because cameras monitor road signs and update you in real time. So no more of that wondering what speed you're allowed to do, because the dash tells you at all times.
All of these things work brilliantly. For lane departure and blind spot monitoring there are two bright orange lights that illuminate to let you know when something is less than ideal. There's a loud beeping too, and if you're doing something it thinks is silly, the lights will flash very rapidly. It's an incredibly effective warning system that's impossible to ignore.
Even better though, the car can use radar to monitor the vehicle in front. This, in combination with the car's cruise control, allows you to tell it what speed to drive, turn on the radar and it will just drive at the speed limit, unless there's a vehicle in front doing less. You can control the distance at which the car follows others - which is handy if you're a bit more cautious - but the car will auto-brake when the one in front slows and should keep you safe.
We didn't read the manual - it was in German - but no doubt it cautions against not paying attention when this mode is engaged. We always had the brake pedal covered - as is sensible, but it also never felt like it was going to let us down. The one thing we did notice was that when it came to accelerating, the car really put its hoof down. It was a little too aggressive for us, but there may be a way to change that.
Climate, comfort and a moon roof
In our car, there was a heated steering wheel. At the point we found that out, we started to wonder what we could sell to get £55,000ish together to buy one. Don't underestimate the effect that a heated steering wheel will have on your life. People will find you more attractive, you'll get more friends and unknown wealth will be bestowed upon you. Of course, that's not true, but your hands won't be cold when you're driving, which is better than all of those things anyway.
There's the usual climate control. It's effective, and best left on auto in our experience. In that mode it just gets the car to the temperature you select, and there's no need to fiddle around. It's ace.
Also impressive is keyless entry and start. We wish all cars had this, just walk up to the car and grab the handle, and it unlocks. Then, once inside you can just press the start/stop button. It's delightfully simple, but it takes the pain away from fumbling for keys. This is also very handy if you've got kids, because it means you don't have to hold the child in one hand, and fumble for the keys with the other. Saves time, effort and gets you in the car quicker and safer.
We had the optional moonroof too. VW almost certainly doesn't call it that, but we grew up in the 80s, and we're not letting go of that slightly romantic name for the big slab of glass you can opt for on this car. It's massive, extends in to the back of the car and the front half fan slide back, giving you a massive open space above your head to let the joy of the cosmos rain upon your skull. There's also an electrically operated sunshade. You need to pay for this too, but it's quite handy in the summer when you want to keep the sun off your head. We loved the moonroof and shade option. It's expensive though - more than £1,000 - and we wonder if we'd actually spend our own money on one.
As you'd expect, there are some supportive seats in the Touareg too, which are electrically adjustable. You can opt for a memory setting too, which might be useful if two of you share the car and have very complicated and different driving positions. The seats can be heated too, this combine with the steering wheel warmer are the epitome of luxury and you should spend any amount of money to have them.
If you go for the adjustable suspension option, you get a variety of ride heights to chose from, but also there are suspension comfort options. These are "sport", "normal" and "comfort". In most cases, we found sport was comfortable enough. On speed bumps, there was some merit to the comfortable mode, but honestly we didn't feel like we'd ever go out of our way to adjust the suspension manually. The car is very clever about it all though, and can tweak the ride height and suspension to give you the most suitable mode.
One of the best things about the Touareg is that it has a decent-sized boot. You can get an oven in one. The lack of boot lip means that getting big items in and out is a lot easier than a hatchback or saloon. If you've got the adjustable suspension, you can also lower it via a control in the boot, to get the car closer to the ground. That's something that's very handy, and we found it was useful even for shopping, but especially for loading ovens.
Dynaudio sound system upgrade
The car we're reviewing here was provided for us to try by Dynaudio, which offers its speaker system as an optional extra, costing a little bit over £1,000. We have to say, we were impressed.
Based on the time we spend in an Audi A3, the difference in sound between these two systems is like listening to an MP3 player on the supplied headphones, or spending £100 upgrading to something a bit better. A lazy analogy that, but still, if you've spent a lot of money on your car, why hamper if with dreadful sound.
What we noticed most was the clarity. Because of its size, and the class in which it sits, the Touareg is a quiet place to be, most of the time. That gives it some advantage, but what we noticed is that bass and mid-range were much more finely balanced than any VW group car we've tested before. The standard speakers in these cars tend to have a lot of bass, which might appeal to some, but they really lack control.
In a car, what you really want is mid-range power, because it's this that's the hardest to hear when you factor in engine and road noise. We listened to Radio 4 on the Dynaudio system, and found it a much nicer experience than in other cars. We need the stereo to be much less loud, and on reduced power the sound was clearer.
Music too, is a treat. Both from CDs or via Bluetooth. It's interesting that the Dynaudio system also comes with some new audio profiles, which allow you to radically alter the way the audio sounds. This goes beyond simple EQ, and gives you a much more spacious sound.
Put simply, car audio is never going to be like listening to music at home - perhaps on some Dynaudio speakers - but what it is, is as good as we've heard in a car. So, when you're thinking about the options you want, we'd urge you to pick the Dynaudio system over, say, the sunroof - as brilliant as that thing is, because you'll spend more time listening to music and radio shows than you will with the roof open. At least, in this wet miserable country at least.
It's big, it's fuel-hungry and people will auto-hate you for driving it but the experience is almost worth it. It's not the most ecologically sound car, but if you have the desire, it can be driven efficiently and you'll see 30mpg with care. That's not a great number in this day and age, but it's solid for such a large vehicle. Just watch the right foot.
The extras worth having are the moonroof, that Dynaudio sound pack and the adjustable suspension. The sat nav is a solid performer too, and is worth having, especially considering the traffic updates.
You might want to hate the Touareg, but when you spend some time with one, it's nearly impossible to do so.

ALLENTOWN, Pa. — A would-be voter in Pennsylvania was arrested Tuesday at a polling place in Allentown after smashing an electronic voting machine with a paperweight, according to poll workers.
Authorities didn't know what caused the outburst.
"He came in here very peaceably and showed his ID, then he got on the machine and just snapped," volunteer Gladys Pezoldt told the Morning Call of Allentown.
The machine's screen was damaged and it was not immediately clear if votes recorded on the machine could be retrieved.
Police said the man faced charges of felony criminal mischief and tampering with voting machines.

Q: Had you read Dr Seuss books as a child?
A: "Oh yes, Dr. Seuss books were huge for me. I love them because they are pure creativity. To me Dr. Seuss is like a child's version of punk. It is as cool as you can get and fun. Dr. Seuss will never be unhip. I love the idea of introducing a whole new generation to the stories. The message is so great in this one ? that there are no limitations to what you can do. I also love the idea that 'a person is a person no matter how small'. You shouldn't judge anyone, and the idea of worlds within worlds within worlds."

If you are one of the many who see George Lucas as a religious icon, you might want to start crossing items off your bucket list.
Actor Seth Rogen told the Toronto Star that he recently met his movie-making hero, and after about 25 minutes, he was incredibly confused.
The moviemaker, whose graphic studio is based in San Francisco, sat down with his buddy Steven Spielberg and Rogen for a meeting about a movie.
Local news from across Southern California
Instead of fawning over the movie making legends, the encounter left Rogen scratching his head because he says Lucas talked about the pending end of the world.
"George Lucas sits down and seriously proceeds to talk for around 25 minutes about how he thinks the world is going to end in the year 2012, like, for real. He thinks it," Rogen told the newspaper. "He's going on about the tectonic plates and all the time Spielberg is, like, rolling his eyes, like, 'My nerdy friend won't shut up, I'm sorry.'"
Rogen thought Lucas was joking but he soon realized he wasn't. So he says he asked Lucas if he has built a spaceship and if he could have a seat on it. That might make his plan to bring the dead back to life pointless.
"He claimed he didn't have a spaceship, but there's no doubt there's a Millennium Falcon in a garage somewhere with a pilot just waiting to go... It's going to be him and Steven Spielberg and I'll be blown up like the rest of us," Rogen said.
For the rest of us, we might want to start building our spaceships. The clock is ticking.

Before 2012 recedes forever into the rear-view mirror, it's time for our annual Alberta political year-in-quotes pop quiz.
I'll provide the quote and you see if you can name the speaker. The correct answers are below.
One point for each correct answer, 10 points for the bonus question — and as always I gratefully award you an infinite number of points for having taken the time to read my columns in 2012. Thank you.
1. "I think standing up and handing back a cheque doesn't actually solve the problem."
2. "I made a mistake on these issues and now I am fixing them."
3. "In my opinion, if you want to look at MLA equity and what they're paid, they owe me tens of thousands, if not $100,000, in back pay."
