School Attendance
School attendance is one of the most important aspects of school success. Research confirms that regular attendance enhances student achievement and learning. Parents partner with MVCSD staff to encourage regular school attendance for all MVCSD students. Did you know that students who miss 18 or more days in a school year for any reason – just 10% – are considered chronically absent, which can hurt their academic achievement and put them at-risk of dropping out? See more at: www.boostattendance.org. The school day begins at 8:15 AM. Teachers take attendance at that time. To eliminate disruption and minimize the repetition of class instruction, please have your child in the classroom at 8:15.
No Smoking On School Grounds
According to the Iowa Smoke Free Air Act, smoking is prohibited on all "School grounds, including parking lots, athletic fields, playgrounds, tennis courts, and any other outdoor area under the control of a public or private educational facility, including inside any vehicle located on such school grounds." -- Thank you
Activity Passes
Activity passes were sent home with those students who purchased passes through registration before school began. If you purchase a pass at any time now, please notify the office so it can be given to your child. It is a requirement that these Activity Passes be shown for admittance to each home athletic event. Students without activity passes will need to pay admission to events. State sponsored post-season athletic events (i.e. playoff/tournament games) always require payment for admittance for ALL students.

The team held its exit interviews in August. This is the final entry in a 12-player series that featured conversations from the Seattle roster. In a new move, the WNBA held the draft lottery four days after Seattle lost its regular-season finale to eventual WNBA champion Phoenix. Seattle (12-22) and Tulsa (12-22) had the best chance to win the No. 1 overall pick, the Storm hitting the lucky number. The draft should be held in April 2015. In addition to a top-tier pick, should Storm coach and GM Brian Agler choose to keep it, the team could look different. Alisha Valavanis, the organization's new chief operating officer, is taking a holistic approach to moving the franchise into the next 15 years and that includes on the court. Here's a conversation with G Tanisha Wright, who was named to the WNBA's all-defensive first team for the fifth time in her 10-year career. Wright missed five games this season due to a bruised knee injury, averaging 8 points and 3.6 assists in an averaged 25.5 minutes overall. Wright had a few personal-bests during the season. She dished out a career-high 11 assists in a July win against Chicago and recorded her career-1,000th assist in a win against Tulsa in August. But Seattle not reaching the postseason is a first for Wright, who was drafted 12th overall by former coach Anne Donovan in 2005. While Wright did sign to play in Turkey during the WNBA offseason, she is undecided about her future with Seattle. Her three-year contract expired in September. Seattle Times: Many are curious about your future, do you read stories or blog posts about yourself? Wright: Not since I've been in the league. I feel like my second year I stopped reading everything. Q: How do you look back on the season? Wright: It's different territory for me, for us to not be playing in the postseason. But there's going to be some disappointments. You're not going to always win, you're not going to always get your way. I say it all the time, just as graciously as you win, you have to lose. And we've been on the high-end, the winning-end for so many years. We've had so many great wins and so many great postseasons and memories from those that now it's just (Phoenix's) turn. There's always a silver lining to something. Maybe with this, they'll (Seattle) be able to get a great pick next year and build from that. Who knows? There's always some type of positive you can take out of this season. People should see that. I'm a Sagittarius, optimism is part of my blood, I see there's always a positive in things. It's not all always bad. This season wasn't all bad. Q: So, what Seattle does with that pick is important to you? Wright: Yeah, now maybe you get a good pick and you get better. In this league, it's very visible, it's very accurate to say the way you get better is by getting younger. You have to have some young talent. All of the teams that are good now is because they have young talent. That's just the truth of the matter. So that might be the silver lining — maybe they (Seattle) get a young talent. Historically they haven't had that. It was Sue (Bird) and Lauren (Jackson) as No. 1 overall (in 2002 and 2001, respectively). Then Strick (Shekinna Stricklen as the No. 2 overall pick in 2012). So, historically they do keep their young, good talent but they haven't had many opportunities to do that in all these years. Here's an opportunity. And as long as that player comes in and works hard, she'll have a shot for sure. Q: You usually watch the NCAA tournament despite being overseas, do you know enough to name any top candidates for the 2015 draft? Wright: I did watch but I don't know too many juniors. I paid attention, so I knew the seniors from the (2014 WNBA draft class), but I didn't pay attention to many of the juniors. I know (UConn F) Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis is coming out and the chick from Duke is coming out (C Elizabeth Williams). I watched South Carolina, but I don't know enough to really comment. I won't watch this college season any more than I normally do because of the pick. When March Madness comes around, I'll watch like I normally do. Q: What was a good part of the Storm season? Wright: Growth. The younger kids got some valuable experience in terms of what it takes to be a winner and what it takes to be successful. Hopefully players like Alysha (Clark) and Strick and even the newer players — Jenna (O'Hea) and Lang (Crystal Langhorne) take some ownership in this team in understanding that this is your team, you're going to be here and it has to be important to you. They can't have just another season — not saying that was it — but I feel like going through a season like this, now your perspective changes going into next year. You come in bigger, you come in hungrier, you come in more ready and knowing what to expect and what it takes to get what you want to get. We had some good basketball moments, too, toward the end. Even the LA game (on the road in August), the way those young kids played was very promising and exciting the way they fought. Yeah, the season wasn't all bad. There are good things when you sit back and really think. Q: For yourself, going through a season like this, does that make you want to come back or will you still weigh your options this offseason? Wright: No. It is what it is. It wasn't the best season for me individually. It wasn't the best season for us collectively. But you take the good with the bad, right? I've been up so many times. I've had so many successes here that this doesn't alter anything. When I'm ready to make a decision about what I'm going to do for next year, I'll do that.

greetings, all! i am back from my much needed vacation. i drove through canada to alaska, stayed a week there, drove back down through montana, wyoming, etc. it was beautiful. if any of you ever need to get away from everything, i suggest northern british columbia. it is, by far, the most beautiful place i've ever visited. we could drive for 2+ hours and never see another person or car.
i'll have a page up next week with some pictures of my trip. all told, we saw about 20 black bears, about 40 moose, 50+ deer, and miscellaneous other animals here and there. we went on an atv tour through some hills near anchorage and saw an eagle's nest. unfortunately, no eagle was present at the time. i've got quite a bit of catching up to do, so please cut me some slack the next few days. :)
rob note: i should take this opportunity also to welcome aboard our newest chipgeek writer, sander olson. sander has provided us with links for many moons, and now is taking it to the next step by writing the words that go around those links. :) i will be on vacation june 1-10, in case anyone is wondering, off to a cruise in the bahamas. rick and sander will be holding down the chipgeek fort while i'm away.

|welcome back rick (7:18pm est thu may 30 2002)
a welcome to sander olson too. now will we have more articles per day? :d – by askheart
|hmmm (3:40am est fri may 31 2002)
is sander one of those folks that looks ardently for anything having to do with intel and then spends hours and hours trying to figure out the spin needed to make it look like they're doing something wrong?
you know, like recently when rick castigated intel for selling their products for less to their best customers, until we found out that amd does the same thing, and furthers this outrageous capitalist pig activity by using their list prices instead of their sell prices for asp calculations, making them fast worse bastards? oh right, that latter part was reported on cnet and didnt make it to the pages of geek.com. my mistake.
does (s)he, like rick, also have a pile of old amd annual reports and are all the pages with pictures of jerry w. m. p. sanders iii xiv 42 23^3 stuck together? if sander is a she and got the pages stuck together, i'm most impressed.
inquiring minds cant wait to see the furthering of the anti-intel pro-amd, to-hell-with-reality crapfest continue!!!
hey ricky, welcome back from vacation.

|isolation (11:19am est fri may 31 2002)
i wonder how isolated i'd be in northern british columbia in july.
how warm was it when you were there, rick? – by inquiring mind
|inquiring mind (2:51pm est fri may 31 2002)
i think the lack of towns along 37 would be a great place to start if you truly wanted isolation. you could get lost in a day's walk off the main road and never see another soul until you wanted to. bc's population is quite low to begin with, but when you factor in that the majority of those people live in main city's, it becomes even more so.
when i was there it got up to about 64f during the day. i was getting down near 32f at night.

|sony vaio keyboard (2:53pm est fri may 31 2002)
damn this sony vaio keyboard. it messes up. what i meant to say was:
"…that the majority of those people live in main cities, it becomes even more so."
"it was getting down near 32f at night"
i'm going to go back up there in the fall. i plan on spending at least a week.

Providing Peace of Mind...
Golden Horizons' Elder Care, In-Home, Personal Care, Live-In and Alzheimer's Care in Connecticut
"...Dad's fallen and he lives alone. I'm worried about him..."
"...Mom's worn thin taking care of Dad..."
"...I want to help but live so far away..."
Are your parents or someone dear to you slowing down? Maybe they're home-bound because of health issues, memory loss, dementia or lonely and need a little company. You want your loved one to be safe and well cared for, but can't do it alone. You need someone you trust—who's kind, professional and patient—to fill in and relieve your concern. We can conduct an FREE home care assessment of you loved ones needs; we will work with family and medical professionals (when appropriate) to create a customized homecare plan to meet those needs of your elderly parent or loved one.
Golden Horizons' in-home elder care, dementia and memory loss that disrupts daily life services includes:
24/7 care, hourly care, live-in care, Alzheimer's care, short term or long term home care, caring companionship, homemaking services, medication reminders, meal planning, bedside/supplemental services, incontinence care, oral hygiene, supervision of loved ones safety and more.

As we age in place, it is normal to occasionally forget telephone numbers, appointments, and even names of people we know well. However, those with Alzheimer's gradually forget more and more and are less able to recall learned information.

By FMWRC Public AffairsNovember 24, 2009
FORT LEWIS, Wash. (Army News Service, Nov. 24, 2009) -- No movie has been made of Otis SistrunkAca,!a,,cs life, although he has acted in a few, including Aca,!A"Car Wash,Aca,!A? a 1976 comedy produced by Universal Pictures. A book was written once, but Otis said the publishers in New York told him there wasnAca,!a,,ct any Aca,!A"dirtAca,!A? in his life to make it something that would sell.
But thatAca,!a,,cs ok for Otis, now the Cowan & Memorial StadiumAca,!a,,cs Manager with MWR Sports at Fort Lewis, Wash. The only dirt he ever cared about was the dirt heAca,!a,,cs been playing football on since he was 5 and the only people heAca,!a,,cs ever cared about are his three families.
Aca,!A"The Soldiers are my third family,Aca,!A? Sistrunk said. Aca,!A"The other two are my own family of five children, all grown up and gone, and the Raiders,Aca,!A? Sistrunk said. He played his entire NFL career with the Raiders, including a Super Bowl XI win against the Minnesota Vikings. Aca,!A"32 to 14,Aca,!A? Sistrunk said with a smile.
Television fans, nation-wide, saw SistrunkAca,!a,,cs steaming bald head from the sidelines on Monday Night Football, but now Soldiers and their families have the chance to get individual help from the pro with lifting free weights in body building and power lifting, nautilus equipment, team sports and basically raising the quality of life through physical fitness, eating right and staying fit.
Sistrunk talks about giving back to the Soldiers and their families, and one of the best ways, he said, is to get out to the schools where their children are and pass along the good word about staying in school and working hard at what you enjoy.
Aca,!A"ItAca,!a,,cs not part of my job,Aca,!A? Sistrunk said, Aca,!A"itAca,!a,,cs part of my honor.Aca,!A?
The students at the North Fort Youth Center recently had a chance to meet their garrisonAca,!a,,cs stadium manager who was named to the 1974 Pro Bowl.
Aca,!A"Anybody here a RaiderAca,!a,,cs fan'Aca,!A? Sistrunk asked. Not many raised their hands.
Aca,!A"Anybody here watch the movie, Car Wash'Aca,!A? Nearly all the hands went up.
Aca,!A"Anybody here play football'Aca,!A? Many hands went up including one girl who says she plays both offense and defense.
Aca,!A"Having fun is one of the most important things in my life,Aca,!A? Sistrunk told the kids, Aca,!A"but the main thing you have to keep in mind is, stay in school. You should feel blessed to have the opportunity for both fun and school. DonAca,!a,,ct get a hard head, thinking you donAca,!a,,ct need it. ItAca,!a,,cs important to remember that doing the right thing is the best thing.Aca,!A?
Sistrunk still thinks about his career that took him straight from high school and into the NFL, providing him opportunities most men his age didnAca,!a,,ct have in the late sixties and early seventies.
Aca,!A"You canAca,!a,,ct get into the NFL the way I got in,Aca,!A? Sistrunk said. Aca,!A"Now you have to go to college. So, that fact, coupled with the fact that I didnAca,!a,,ct go to Vietnam, I feel some guilt. Working with MWR gives me the chance to give back to the Soldiers.
Fort Lewis Soldiers have experienced a revolving door of deployments during the past eight years of persistent conflict. Many of his former players will call home to see how their families are doing, but Sistrunk feels a lot of pride when they also call over to the gym to see how everythingAca,!a,,cs going. A few of his former players have even gone on to their own careers in the NFL.
Aca,!A"This is why, to me, working here at Fort Lewis is like working with my family,Aca,!A? Sistrunk said.
Aca,!A"We used to have 48 football teams here at Fort Lewis, but this year weAca,!a,,cre down to 24 teams because of the deployment cycle,Aca,!A? Sistrunk said. Aca,!A"IAca,!a,,cve worked with ten generals over the years, both here and at Fort Benning, and IAca,!a,,cve received a lot of respect because I played with the NFL. But itAca,!a,,cs MWR which has been really good to me over these years. We have the best programs and itAca,!a,,cs a plus for people thinking of joining the military,Aca,!A? Sistrunk said.
Sistrunk says itAca,!a,,cs the variety of programs heAca,!a,,cs been involved with that make the job so satisfying.
Aca,!A"IAca,!a,,cve worked with Special Olympics. In fact, we have the state championship meet here at Fort Lewis every year. We also have the Wounded Warrior Transition Center here and recently a group of wounded warriors came here from Colorado to show how to work with wheel chairs. And we have the programs for autistic kids and adults.
Aca,!A"This is why I wonAca,!a,,ct retire from MWR,Aca,!A? Sistrunk said.
Born in Columbus, Georgia in 1946, Sistrunk went from high school first to the Pottstown, Pa., Firebirds and then to the semiAca,!"pro Continental Football League in 1969, where he played for the Norfolk, Va., Neptunes, the only team that stayed together throughout the five years of the leagueAca,!a,,cs existence. After three years, a Los Angeles Rams scout spotted Sistrunk and believed the 22-year-old could play for the NFL. During team practice, representatives of the Oakland Raiders successfully worked to bring Sistrunk to their team.
After retiring from the NFL, Sistrunk became a pro wrestler with the National Wrestling Alliance where he and his tag-team partner, Michael Hayes, won the NWA National Tag Team Championship in 1981.
Aca,!A"After that, I became a beer salesman for a few years,Aca,!A? Sistrunk said Aca,!A"and one of my stops was Fort Benning, where a colonel asked if I wanted to coach football on the base. At the time, they were playing college and semi-pro teams but they dropped it as soon as I started,Aca,!A? Sistrunk remembered, smiling.
He stayed on, first working in the gym and then managing the fitness center for nearly 14 years until transferring to Fort Lewis.
At a large base, like Fort Lewis, itAca,!a,,cs not just the Soldiers and their families, itAca,!a,,cs also the retired who want to continue working out.
Aca,!A"ThatAca,!a,,cs why I put in the Nautilus equipment. I had high school students wanting to work out and even younger groups, 13 to 15 who came in with their parents and wanting to know how to safely use the equipment. I had one 80-year-old retired first sergeant and his wife who wanted to work out together. I even have one class where you had to be over 65 to join. ItAca,!a,,cs an honor to be around these people.
Aca,!A"And to keep up with them, IAca,!a,,cm always looking for more activities.Aca,!A?

The DCM Partnership was formed early in 1988 by a group of experienced Chartered Architects and Project Managers to provide a comprehensive design and construction management service to developers, contractors and building owners and occupiers. The practice concentrates on commercial, industrial, retail and leisure developments and, through its accumulated experience, has a full understanding of the requirements of commercial clients and the importance of achieving programme and budget targets.
Initial site appraisals and concept work demonstrate the potential of a site and enable us to offer the client schemes founded on thorough research. Detailed reports and presentations enable the client to take immediate decisions and allow confident development of the design towards construction information, which is continuously monitored to maintain buildability. Our knowledge of the construction process, supervision of the design teams input and thorough overall management of the project reduces the headaches usually associated with building.
Modern trends in construction, together with large capital investments, dictate that the time period from conception to completion, be it community, industrial, commercial or leisure orientated, should be kept to an absolute minimum. To achieve this, it is necessary to have the close co-operation and full co-operation of all the numerous associated services required. This co-ordinating function is carried out as part of the service, leaving the client free to continue the unhindered running of their business, while the project is being designed and constructed to match their requirements.
Basically construction is not difficult, just complex.
The DCM Partnership has the organisational efficiency and management skills to reduce this complexity to a minimum and our awareness of the importance of high standards in design, economic performance and practical efficiency leads to the production of buildings well suited to todays markets.
The DCM Partnership works as part of a team, co-ordinating and managing the efforts of that team to produce an end product that fully satisfies the aspirations of the client. Participation in Design & Build projects leads to efficient team-working and is particularly suited to industrial and commercial developments.
The Practice has recently become a Limited Company, trading as The DCM Partnership Ltd.

Oklahoma Dept. of Transportation Sec. Gary Ridley told the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee that the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) has been a huge success. In fact, Ridley said, more than 90% of the highway funds allocated to Oklahoma under the program have been assigned to projects, and 83% of those projects are under construction.
"We have moved much faster than the law required," he said, while testifying on behalf of the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials. "More than 5,400 highway and bridge projects valued at $14 billion are under construction in every part of the country," he added.
Now, that investment of $21 billion might seem like small potatoes if President Barack Obama gets his wish. The President proposed a major investment in the country's infrastructure, perhaps $50 billion or more. According to a report in The New York Times, the President said the cost could be offset by some of the $200 billion in lower-than-expected spending on the earlier federal bailout of financial institutions.
Many believe the boost to infrastructure spending is a way to quickly create jobs and bolster an economy that is struggling to emerge from the recession. That short-term outlook, though, has some concerned. Rob Puentes, senior fellow in the Brookings Institution's Metropolitan Policy Program, is worried that the short-term solutions could be harming the long-term stability of infrastructure improvements. "For two years literally, there's been a steady drumbeat for transportation reform," he told Fleet Owner. "The one thing we've all agreed on is [the system] is broken and we need reform. But with the economy, we all kind of forgot about that."
Puentes said that the Administration needs to balance long-term infrastructure needs, primarily through the six-year highway reauthorization bill, with the short-term needs to pump up the job market. "We don't have to have the two things separate," he said. "I think the frustration a lot of people here in Washington feel is we keep forgetting about reform."
Obama's latest plan is short on specifics at the moment, although he's touting the impact it will have on hiring. "These are needed public works that engage private-sector companies, spurring hiring across the country," the President said. "Already, more than 10,000 of these projects have been funded through the Recovery Act. And by design, Recovery Act work on roads, bridges, water systems, Superfund sites, broadband networks, and clean energy projects will all be ramping up in the months ahead."
Both Obama and Sec. of Transportation Ray LaHood spoke at Brookings recently and both told their audiences the U.S. needs to be creative when it comes to transportation funding. "The President did talk about transportation, but there is a big [long-term] funding problem," Puentes said.
Without many specifics, though, the actual impact on transportation is still a bit murky. "I wish we knew," Ken Simonson, chief economist for Associated General Contractors of America, told Fleet Owner. "He was pretty vague in the speech itself and we're still trying to run down specifics. We're not sure how the $50 billion number we keep hearing will be spent."
The overall impact is also unclear at this time, Simonson said. "Contractors are waiting for assurances that there will be a long-term investment [in projects]," he added. "States have been cutting back on projects for the last two years, so without this additional money, it is" a certainty that they would have continued.
Beyond the impact on infrastructure is a more important question facing the Administration that also has not been addressed. With the six-year highway reauthorization bill still not signed as of press time, could this proposal simply siphon money away from the long-term bill?
"Chairman [James] Oberstar [D-MN] is all for any proposal that will spend money on restoring our national transportation infrastructure," Jim Berard, communications director for the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure told Fleet Owner. But, Oberstar, committee chairman, "is concerned that any supplemental jobs bill not be seen as a substitute for a long-term authorization."
There seems to be little doubt about the immediate benefits of this plan to create jobs through infrastructure improvements. What no one seems to know at this point is what impact this short-term solution will have on the long-term outlook of transportation in the U.S.

How Much Does Boston Logan Airport Parking Cost?
Boston Logan Airport, administered by the Massachusetts Port Authority, is the departure and arrival point for over 100 domestic and international flights.
Located at the Boston Harbor by Interstate 90, the international airport has more than 40 airlines operating.
How much does parking at Boston Logan Airport cost?
According to the Massachusetts Port Authority website, Boston Logan International Airport has different options to choose from.
|Daily Rate
|Boston Rodeway Inn
|Central Parking Garage
|Comfort Inn
|Courtyard By Marriott
|Economy Parking
|Embassy Suites
|Four Points by Sheraton - Boston Logan
|Holiday Inn Express
|PreFlight Parking
|Shuttle and Fly
|Terminal B Garage
|Terminal E Lot 1
Boston Logan Airport parking overview
Logan International Airport provides various parking options offered at hourly and daily rates. Central Parking Garage provides easy access to all terminals. Terminal B Garage has easy access to Terminal B, while Terminal E Parking lots give easy access to Terminal E. Economy Parking is the most affordable long-term parking option.
The airport has 26 charging ports for electric vehicles and 173 parking spots designated for a hybrid, alternatively fueled and electric vehicles.
When you park your car, you will be given a ticket that will need to be placed on your dashboard in clear view. When you exit, this ticket will tell the parking lot attendant when you parked your car there so that he knows how much to charge you.
Many parking lots offer some sort of security. This could be as basic as a gate to prevent unwanted people from getting in and out, a camera system that can be reviewed in case anything happens to your vehicle, or possibly even a security guard making rounds every so often to make sure there is no suspicious behavior.
Most airport parking establishments are open 24 hours a day, all days of the week and are usually equipped with automated entrance and exit gates. Some parking lots will have an option for you to pay at a machine with your credit card, while others will have an attendant there to take your money.
Depending on the airport parking company, the service may include a free shuttle to and from all terminals and free luggage assistance.
What are the extra costs?
Logan Airport also provides a program called Parking Passport Gold that guarantees parking spaces even when the sign says otherwise. Joining this program that ensures a parking space every time costs $200 the first year and $100 for the succeeding years. The hourly rates for guaranteed parking are higher after the first 4 hours. If you enroll in Logan's Parking Passport program, you will be required to pay the enrollment fee of $5.
Those who lose their parking ticket will be charged with the applicable parking fee plus $5.
If you take the free shuttle service, some drivers expect a tip when you get off. This is usually only $1 or $2 but is still an extra cost to consider for the way there and the way back.
If you prefer to pull right up to the terminal and have other people park your car using a valet service, this will make your costs much higher.
Tips to know:
Always bring your parking ticket with you and avoid leaving it in your vehicle.
Some private parking companies charge on a fixed basis and base the cost on arrival and departure time as well as how long the parking spot will be used.
The Massachusetts Port Authority advises individuals using the parking facilities to pay for parking at an Exit Express Parking Pay Station located in the terminals or garage lobby areas.
How can I save money?
If you will only be at the airport for a short period, park at the economy garage, where the rates usually start after the first hour. Use the shuttle service to go to the required terminal. Using the economy parking option can save from $1 to $6 a day.
The obvious way to save money on airport parking is to ask a friend or family member to drop you off and pick you up from the airport.
Local parking garages often participate on Groupon. Check out this daily deal website to see if there are any current savings.

Occasionally, after I have completed an evaluation and proffered an opinion, a party accuses me of "bias." I think this means they disagree with my opinion. Most people cannot define "bias" very well. Karen Franklin defines bias very nicely in her Feedblitz forensic psychology blog. I quote her below:
The term bias refers to a partiality that interferes with the ability to be fair or objective. Expressing a point of view does not make one biased. Rather, the articulation of informed opinion advances professional practice. Indeed, such "expert opinion" is precisely what courts seek from forensic psychologists when they solicit our testimony. An expert witness is expected to have a firm grounding in the applicable science, and to be able to critically analyze its strengths and weaknesses as it applies to a specific issue or case.
Needless to say, continuous self-examination, critical analysis of methods, and peer review are the most powerful antidotes to bias.

Since the adoption of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court in 1998, international criminal law has rapidly grown in importance. This three-volume treatise on international criminal law presents a foundational, systematic, consistent, and comprehensive analysis of the field. Taking into account the scholarly literature, not only sources written in English but also in French, German, Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish, the book draws on the author's extensive academic and practical work in international criminal law.
This third volume offers a comprehensive analysis of the procedures and implementation of international law by international criminal tribunals and the International Criminal Court. Through analysis of the framework of international criminal procedure, the author considers each stage in the process of proceedings before the ICC, including the role of legal participants, the scope of jurisdiction, and the enforcement of sentences.
The full three-volume treatise addresses the entirety of international criminal law, re-stating and re-examining the fundamental principles upon which it rests, the manner it is enacted, and the key issues that are shaping its future.

I know what you are thinking. It is okay. There are days I can't believe it either & I wanna know what the hell am I doing putting vegetables in a dish that should contain a protein that runs and jumps.
Lately, I have been eating less meat. Truth be told, I feel a whole lot better now that I have consistently eat more vegetables. I don't feel sluggish. I have more energy than I had when I was in college. I'm kinda liking what I see in the mirror. My stomach isn't so flabby. My legs are shaping pretty good.
In order to NOT miss meat, I am remixing my own recipes. My key to eating more vegetables is seasoning. You can go from Cajun cauliflower to lemon pepper cauliflower by simply changing spices.
This flavor remix is to my Shrimp & Cheesy Grits recipe. Instead of shrimp, I turned the flavor on an array of roasted vegetables 🙂 and black beans.
Roasted Vegetables
1 Red Bell Pepper
1 Head of Cauliflower
1 Small Green Zucchini
1 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 teaspoon Chipotle Chili Pepper
1 teaspoon Onion & Herb Seasoning
ONEPreheat oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
TWOClean veggies & cut into small pieces.

SEVENRoast veggies in the oven for about 15 minutes or until veggies are browned.
Black Beans
1/2 cup canned vegan black beans rinsed
1 tablespoon chopped shallots
1/2 teaspoon garlic
1 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
ONEAdd oil to a skillet on medium heat.
TWOSauté garlic & shallots until translucent. Be careful to not burn the garlic.
THREEAdd beans to skillet & sauté for about 5 minutes.
Cheesy Grits
1 1/2 cup shredded aged white cheddar cheese
1 ounce cream cheese
2 cups water (plus a 1/4 cup of water set to the side)
1/2 cup grits

Biologists Confirm Genetics of First ShareLunker Offspring Entered into Program
Feb. 21, 2017
Media Contact: TPWD News, Business Hours, 512-389-8030
Note: This item is more than two years old. Please take the publication date into consideration for any date references.
ATHENS – In March 2006, angler Edward Reid pulled a staggering 14.48-pound largemouth bass from the depths of Lake Conroe near Houston. On Feb. 10, nearly 11 years later and more than 234 miles away, angler Ryder Wicker caught the 13.07-pound offspring of that fish from Marine Creek Lake near Fort Worth.
The Lake Conroe fish, later called ShareLunker 410, was able to leave a legacy of her big-bass genetics to the state thanks to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department's Toyota ShareLunker Program, which has been selectively breeding and stocking angler-caught largemouth bass over 13 pounds since 1986 with the goal of increasing the production of trophy-sized fish in Texas reservoirs.
After Reid donated ShareLunker 410 to the program in 2006, TPWD Inland Fisheries biologists took her to the "lunkerbunker" at the Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center (TFFC) in Athens to pair up with a male ShareLunker offspring. That pairing of pure Florida largemouth bass produced thousands of fingerlings that were stocked in Marine Creek Lake and other public Texas reservoirs a few months later, one of which grew into the 13.07 pounder Ryder caught last week: ShareLunker 566.
The genetic link was confirmed Feb. 17, just days after TFFC staff transported a fin clip to the A.E. Wood Hatchery in San Marcos. The tests confirmed what biologists already suspected based on the results of scanning a tag near the fish's head – this was a daughter produced by ShareLunker 410 and a male fish with a more esoteric name, 0LB-0504.
"The catch of ShareLunker 566 from Marine Creek Lake not only validates the goal of TPWD's selective breeding program of producing ShareLunker-size bass, but also demonstrates how anglers can help others by donating their ShareLunkers to TPWD for breeding purposes," said ShareLunker Program Coordinator Kyle Brookshear. "Mr. Wicker can tip his hat to Mr. Reid for making this moment possible."
ShareLunker 566 and the tagged fingerlings were stocked in Marine Creek Lake and other public reservoirs 11 years ago for a ShareLunker evaluation research project. Researchers wanted to compare growth of ShareLunker fingerlings to growth of the resident bass population in several Texas lakes.
Researchers on the ShareLunker evaluation project found that over a four year period of time, compared to wild fish of the same age (four years old) and gender (female), ShareLunker offspring weighed more by a half pound on average. Now those same TPWD biologists are in the process of comparing ShareLunker offspring with regular Florida largemouth bass and the initial results are showing even more significant size differences between the fish.
Mukhtar Farooqi, a TPWD Inland Fisheries biologist, said results from the study could be used as a basis to incorporate ShareLunker offspring into the Florida largemouth bass broodfish in hatcheries across the state. That would increase the total ShareLunker offspring stocked annually into participating lakes from tens of thousands to more than eight million.
Farooqi also said if ShareLunker 566 is able to spawn, the second generation offspring may have a better chance of obtaining a higher weight due to the concentration of those genes.
"We know this fish is a big fish produced by a big fish coming from the selective breeding program, so there is a bit of a lineage," Farooqi said. "That's what you would want to maintain; it's the best scenario when you're dealing with known genetics."
ShareLunker 566 is the first 13 pound or larger Florida largemouth bass submitted to the Toyota ShareLunker program so far this season, but anglers have until March 31 to submit their catch for TPWD to collect as brood stock for spawning. Anglers can enter 13 pound or heavier bass into the program for certified weight, DNA sample and immediate release through April 30. Lake Conroe, the fishery that produced ShareLunker 410 and 16 other ShareLunkers, is hosting the Bassmaster Classic tournament March 24-26, which could yield another addition to the program.
The Toyota ShareLunker Program is made possible by a grant to the Texas Parks & Wildlife Foundation from Gulf States Toyota. Toyota is a longtime supporter of the Foundation and Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, providing major funding for a wide variety of education, fish, parks and wildlife projects.

I met with a friend yesterday who wanted to share ideas about how we plan for meals and groceries monthly. It made me realize how important and helpful it is to sit down as moms to talk about really anything. I learned so much from her and it really reminded me how much further I need to go in my journey to be more frugal.
I thought I would post about a few things that I've been trying to do and some goals I have for myself. I'm hoping that in making these goals public, I'll be able to actually achieve them!
- Ziploc bags and Paper towels: I have gotten really anal about using ziploc bags, papertowels and other things like that. I rarely use a papertowel to clean up a mess; I have a set of dishcloths that I use to clean up the kids with our any other mess that I might use a paper towel for. My goal is to see how long I can make roll of paper towels last. I also hardly ever use ziploc bags anymore for leftovers or anything like that. If I can store it in a tupperware I will.
- Breadcrumbs: I have been saving the heels of bread and making breadcrumbs from them. I tell you that homemade breadcrumbs are a TON better than what you buy in the store!
- Baking: I hardly ever buy any kind of cookies or sweets. If we have sweets in our house at all, I have to make them. This is partly a budget thing, but also a health thing. I've got to really be craving sweets in order to get off my rump and bake them 🙂 I also make biscuits every Sunday for breakfast (and we have breakfast for dinner that night too) and I'm trying to make waffles on Saturday for us to eat during the week too.
- Shopping: I have also been really trying to plan my shopping. I go to at least 4 different stores during the month based on what's on sale, what I need to get (and where it's cheapest) and what store brands we like etc. I do end up getting the bulk of my stuff at WalMart, which I totally despise, but you really can't beat their prices a lot of time
- Whole Chickens: I think this is one of the best deals I do. You can buy a whole chicken for less than $5. Throw it in a crock pot with some olive oil, spices of choice and put it on low for most of the day. I can get enough chicken for at least 3-4 meals.
GOALS: Here are a few of my goals.
- Bread: I would totally love to find a good bread recipe and start making our sandwich bread weekly. I want to do this partly to save money, but also for health reasons.
- Farmer's Markets: I am hoping to get into a rhythm of going to some local farmer's markets this summer. While farmer's are charging more, the payoff for having something local wins with me.
- Lunches: I am trying to start working on being more creative with lunches for all of us. Hubbie takes his lunch every day and is getting really bored with sandwiches. We are getting bored with PB&J (which the baby is allergic to PB) so we need some help in this area!
- Price per meal: my friend really looks at price per meal that she makes and she really inspired me to start doing this with our meals that we have weekly too. That is my next step in our menu planning.
LINKS: Here are a couple of good links that I came across recently that have to do with groceries and menu planning.
Coupon Tips and Tricks by The Digerati Life
More Grocery Store Tricks and How to Avoid Them by Blissfully Domestic
and this is a local link: The Thrifty Mom shares lots of different local tips on everything.
Now it's your turn…what do you do to help plan your grocery budget?

Temperature dependent infrared absorption, crystal-field and intensity analysis of Ce3+ Doped LiYF4
Wells, J-P.R.

Infrared absorption has been used to determine the crystal-field levels of the 2F7=2 excited multiplet of trivalent cerium doped into scheelite structure LiYF4 single crystals. A crystal-field analysis well accounts for a total of six experimentally observed energy levels and the ground state g-values as previously determined by electron paramagnetic resonance, whilst intensity simulations confirm the experimentally assigned level symmetries. Temperature dependent spectral line broadening measurements highlight the importance of coupling to low frequency phonon modes of the YF8 tetrahedron.

Stability theory of differential equations
MetadataShow full item record
The problem of determining the stability of a set of linear differential equations has been of interest to mathematicians and engineers for a considerable length of time.
The problem is attacked by obtaining the characteristic equation of the original set of equations and determining the stability of this equation.
The stability of the characteristic equation is first considered in terms of a continued fraction expansion. Necessary and sufficient conditions are given for the characteristic equation to be stable.
The stability of the equation is then determined by means of a determinant sequence, which was the manner originally presented by A. Hurwitz in 1895.
The Nyquist criterion, which is a graphical method for determining whether the equation is stable, is then presented.
An example is given for each of the above methods to illustrate the procedure used in determining whether the equation is stable or unstable. Also included is a brief analysis of stability for non-linear equations.

I so look forward to Sunday. It is as if my whole being is being charged and filled up with codes and activations for this particular day. Yes it has been intense. It never stops, WE keep on moving higher and higher, breaking new territory, facing old fears and letting go. WE know we are here for a groundbreaking lifetime. WE know Love has won. The ripples just take their time to manifest for all to see what really happens under the surface. There is a grassroot movement for a new way of living, from the heart. WE will do business in new ways, We will not go against our intuition anymore, because in the end it never works. WE are waking up to a reality where we work and create in ways that is positive for the planet, our home. Mother Earth. Let's manifest it all, putting heart first.
On Sunday I am hosting a Soul Gathering in Stockholm for the 11-11-11 Gateway and I believe we have a full house at Hälsans Hus. I am really excited about this event. For the coming events see here Sweden: Events coming up
Have a great Gateway week!
