Meteorological Fall 2017 in Northern and Eastern Maine
Our meteorological fall (Sept to Nov) ended up among the warmest on record. In Houlton, it was the #1 warmest, while in Caribou it was the 2nd warmest and Bangor 4th warmest. What was remarkable is that it ended up so warm despite a cooler than average November. October and September was extraordinarily warm and made up for the cool November. In fact, Sept/Oct combined was the warmest Sept/Oct on record for most places.

Exploring Majors
It was difficult to decide between pursuing a path toward medical school or law school. At a young age, it is easy to bounce around from idea to idea. I have always known that I want to help people in some facet, so deciding between two incredible options was tough. I was initially interested in studying biology and being pre-med. As an UGS student, I was excited to have the option to explore various fields of study. I was unsure what I wanted to devote my next three years to, so UGS gave me the opportunity to take a deep breath and test out a few options. I also was able to take an incredible First-Year Signature Course with Dr. Ramirez-Berg.
I thoroughly enjoy reading, writing, and speaking, so I wanted to find a major that encompassed all three of those characteristics. Being able to read and digest text, put it in writing, and ultimately speak to what I have learned is what I enjoy the most about my history and government coursework.
Studying History and Government
The opportunity to learn about the past is so interesting, because we get to analyze exactly what happened and the reasons behind it. Being able to learn and apply it to our present world is extremely valuable.
The most surprising thing about my history major is the amount of history that I have covered—almost anything in between European history, the history behind the integration of professional sports to Mexican-American history.
The most rewarding class I've taken is GOV 370K: Latino Politics taught by Jason Casellas. I've always liked politics and it was interesting to see how Latino politics have changed.
Favorite Study Spot: Life Sciences Library (in the Tower)
Student Organizations
I'm involved in Student Government and Sigma Phi Epsilon. Both organizations have allowed me to develop skills that I did not know that I had and have introduced me to incredible students from across campus.
I've interned for the Texas House of Representatives and the Hotze Runkle Law Firm. I worked as a marketing associate for BranchOut and worked in governmental relations for UT's Office of the President.
Advice for UGS Students
The School of Undergraduate Studies was an amazing opportunity for me to test out a few fields of study that I considered for a possible major. My advice for UGS students is: do not stress! I recall being stressed because I didn't know what I wanted to do. UGS and our university as a whole do a fantastic job at assisting students along the way.

Lindera benzoin (Spicebush)
Habit: Spicebush is a shrub native to woodlands and forests of North America. At about 6-12 feet, it's an attractive plant to add to a landscape setting or naturalized area. The name "Spicebush" comes from its aromatic leaves when they are broken.
Color: Striking yellow flowers in early spring before leaves emerge- in the wild Spicebush pops in an otherwise bare woodland. In autumn, golden leaves and red fruits grace the branches.
Culture: Spicebush likes full sun/part shade and moist, well-drained soil. Supposedly rather difficult to transplant but in our experience this has not been the case.

Avian Beauty Podcast #2
That's the sound of a Lucifer Hummingbird – one of more than 300 species of hummingbird in the world. And while only two dozen or so of those species make it as far north as the United States, polls show that most Americans love hummingbirds – and that's no surprise. These colorful little birds are quite unusual. Did you know that they are the only bird in the world that can fly backwards? They weight in at less than a US nickel but they are fast and acrobatic. They need powerful wings because they beat up to 80 times per second. And hummingbirds have far more unique flight abilities than any other bird. Not only can they fly backwards – they are able to fly forward, sideways, and straight up. They can also hover extensively, much longer than short-term hovering birds like ospreys, kestrels, kingfishers, and a select few other species. Hummingbirds can even do aerobatics such as backward somersaults as they dart among flowers searching for nectar and insects.
There are plenty of remarkable things about hummingbirds. It's hard to imagine that a bird bird that is 3.1 inches long has the maneuverability and speed of a fighter jet – relative to its size. They do all that flying without many feathers. Hummingbirds typically have fewer feathers than any other bird.
Hummingbirds are always busy and when they do take just a moment to perch, they often sing to us.
Then they go back to work – looking for food. They even have busy tongues, they can move 13 times per second to take in nectar – and that is a good thing. Hummers can (and often need to) eat twice their weight in a day.
I'm so glad you stopped by to learn a few fun facts about hummingbirds.
I'd like to end this podcast with beautiful words from Maya Angelou – "A bird does not sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song." Thanks for listening, be sure to visit avianbeauty.com for more bird inspiration and information. I'm Scott Bourne. Happy birding.

Fox Works Out Morning Show
Run-throughs have begun on the new morning show from Twentieth Television and the Fox Television Stations. Hosted by Fox News personalities Mike Jerrick and Juliet Huddy, the unnamed show launches on Fox owned-and-operated affiliates Jan. 22.
A series of pilot segments was shot last week, with one run-through including bits on Bob Barker's retirement and Huddy's showing off her boxing skills.
Jerrick and Huddy previously anchored Fox News Channel's DaySide. The new show, to be shot in New York City, will air live 9-10 a.m. in most markets. It's designed to follow the local morning news shows.
According to Kevin Magee, the executive VP of Fox News Channel who's overseeing the program, it will favor entertainment and lifestyle topics over hard news. "It will be lighter than the first hour of Today because that's where people's heads are by 9," he says. "By 9, stations want something bright and fresh that plays to the predominantly female audience."
Magee says the stations don't want an extension of the Fox News Channel. By the end of last week, he was expecting to see diagrams of set designs, which he wants to be "warm and friendly." He also has strong opinions about how the news will be delivered: "It won't be traditional news with two stiff anchors sitting behind an airline-counter desk, preaching the news."
There may be regular contributors, perhaps focusing on health and fitness or relationships. Magee wants live two-ways between local news anchors and Huddy and Jerrick leading into 9 a.m., and is exploring ideas about local cut-ins from 9 to 10.
The hour-long program will be fast-paced. Don't expect much sports or other male-skewing topics, Magee says, and national weather "is a tough sell."
A Website is being designed, and the anchors are assembling video blogs. Tie-ins with News Corp.-owned MySpace are to be determined. On the subject of synergy, Magee acknowledges that the January launch could mean talking about heavy-buzz shows like American Idol and 24: "If Kiefer Sutherland wants to stop by, we'll make room."

Oh boy am I excited to share this out-of-this-world post with you today! In case you haven't heard, the lovely ladies of Elizabeth Anne Designs and The Sweetest Occasion are hosting a contest, called the Inspired Creations Contest, where vendors were asked to compete and create a totally original, and totally realistic, wedding concept to inspire brides around the world! Well, I teamed up with Janice Carnevale of Bellwether Events, photographer Kurstin Roe and stationer Carolynn of Two Brunettes to create an eye-popping, innovative concept that I am so head-over-heels in love with. You can see it HERE on EAD and I've brought you some of the details below today! But be sure to scroll all the way to the end of the post to find out how and where to see more, and how you can play a part in this brilliant contest!
We wanted to incorporate puzzles into a wedding because it was something we hadn't seen before and something so perfect for a wedding motif! Then, we knew we wanted to stay away from the typical pastels and vintage fair that we see a lot in weddings nowadays. So, we decided to pair puzzle pieces with pop art for a bright and super fun wedding!
Carolynn designed a perfect invitation suite to get our mock guests excited about what was to come! In fact, you can download the template here for your very own wedding invitations!
Our place card turned guest book contest is probably my favorite part. In short, each guest gets a magnetic puzzle piece along with their place card that matches up to the puzzle pieces of everyone at their table. Together, each table must put together their puzzle and bring it over to a white board that has been painted with magnetic primer. Each table puts up their puzzle to create a totally pop art piece that all the guests can then sign around for a fantastic keepsake for the couple! Take note! I'll be bringing all the DIY details of this concept tomorrow so you can recreate this exactly as you see (or put your own spin on it!).
The cake was covered in white fondant and sprinkled with cute puzzle cutouts! Our cake topper was an Etsy find (yay!) and complemented the pop-art theme quite nicely if you ask me!
Now for the final, and my tied-for-favorite part, the photo booth! Wanna know the best part? All you need is a Mac laptop! Yes you heard me right, we set up a Mac laptop and used the pop art style in the Photobooth application. We created an irresistible set-up of props and masks-on-a-stick and all it took was one click and guests have an instant favor (provide a small printer and have your photographer's second-shooter man it). Doesn't get much better, or budget friendly than that, huh?
So, what do you think? I have to say I'm pretty happy with how the puzzles and pop art worked together, and now I really wish I could attend a wedding like this! Don't you?
Here's where you come in. First, if you want to find out all the details on who helped us out with this fabulous shoot head on over to Elizabeth Anne Designs where it is currently posted! Then, if you like our concept as much as I hope you do, be sure to leave a comment on our post on EAD (and feel free to leave one here as well!)!
I'll be back tomorrow with the low-down on the DIY elements of this concept so make sure you stop by! I hope you enjoyed our "puzzling" idea, and don't forget to comment by clicking HERE!

Citrix App Layering Agent unattended installation
This article shows you how to script the Citrix App Layering Agent unattended installation and registration using PowerShell. Before continuing, I need to mention that the installation is not as straightforward as one might expect. I expected the installation to be a simple execution of the citrix_app_layering_agent_installer.exe including some parameters. Unfortunately, the underlying MSI does not work well for unattended installations, so I had to create a custom MSI transform file. All this is explained later on. The transform file has been added to this article and can be downloaded and used freely.
The simple fact is that if you want the Enterprise Layer Manager (ELM) to be able to automatically publish a consolidated VHDX file to your Provisioning Servers, you need to install the App Layering Agent on at least one Provisioning Server. In the article Citrix Provisioning Server unattended installation I explain how to automate your Provisioning Server installation and configuration. To continue to have a 100% automated installation, the Citrix App Layering Agent should be automated as well.

Donnie Schexnayder has been playing and teaching guitar for over 25 years, and is an independent music artist and a renowned guitar instructor who helps other music teachers around the world through his Start Teaching Guitar website. He specializes in helping struggling guitar students figure out the obstacles that are holding them back from reaching their true potential on the guitar, and devising innovative strategies to help them overcome those obstacles.
About Donnie Schexnayder
When Donnie was 8 years old, growing up in south Louisiana, he absolutely loved the band KISS; his musical tastes have evolved since then, but he used to sit on the floor in his room and play their records nonstop while staring at the album covers. The following Christmas, he got his first guitar and his father enrolled him in a group guitar class. It was a disaster…mostly because of a bad teacher only interested in taking their money. So he quit and didn't pick up a guitar again until he was 18.
Donnie doesn't remember the teacher's name, but he definitely remembers how the teacher didn't seem to care about his students. "He had no interest in me," he recalls. But he learned a valuable lesson: how NOT to teach. "The tragedy is that some of those kids probably never picked up a guitar again. I only lost a decade."
After high school he attended music school in Lafayette, LA, where he was a percussion major. He lasted only one semester at college. "It was like being hit in the face with a shovel!" Donnie exclaimed. It reminded him of the guitar lessons he had such a bad experience with as a kid. The music program had nothing to do with his goals and desires; he was completely overwhelmed.
The music theory he learned was useful…and he learned some piano and was particularly interested in ear training…but there really wasn't a place in that traditional music school for a rock musician. He just didn't fit in.
"I learned a valuable lesson from that experience," explains Schexnayder, "that the most effective music lessons are tailored to what the student actually WANTS to learn…to keep their motivation level high…to make it a rewarding experience for them."
Throughout his late teens and early twenties, Donnie studied with a variety of teachers and learned a lot about what worked and what didn't. At 22, he became a youth minister at a church, where he developed a program around contemporary rock worship music. He led the band with his electric guitar and sang. Donnie says he felt a lot like the "Pied Piper" at that time: none of those teenagers had ever experienced anything like it and dozens of them started playing guitar.
This is where Donnie first started teaching guitar lessons. He has since built a successful teaching studio in the Colorado Springs, CO area and eventually branched out into small group guitar lessons, offering all the same benefits and "best practices" to guitar students that he shares with guitar teachers across the globe.
Your Secret Weapon For Learning Guitar
No matter what you want to learn on the guitar, no matter how many obstacles seem to be in your path, no matter how frustrated or overwhelmed you might be feeling with your playing right now – Donnie can help you find the musical breakthrough you've been searching for.
Not all guitar teachers are the same! Even if you've tried working with a teacher in the past and had a bad experience, you've probably never worked with a teacher like THIS ONE before. Donnie has an uncanny ability to motivate, inspire and draw the very best out of his students that sets him apart from average guitar teachers.

2018 IN REVIEW – My Favorites of the Year
I honestly didn't know I ended up liking so many damn movies from 2018. Who knew? There's a lot of reading here, so I'll just cut to the chase… here are the 60(!) films I loved most from what turned out to be a pretty fantastic year of film, divided into categories, since I usually can't seem to pit certain genres of movies against others. Consider this a roughly ordered list of the best films for any of your present moods! Read more…
REVIEW – The Evil Dead
Directed by: Sam Raimi
Produced by: Robert Tapert
Written by: Sam Raimi
Edited by: Edna Ruth Paul
Cinematography by: Tim Philo
Music by: Joseph LoDuca
Starring: Bruce Campbell, Ellen Sandweiss, Hal Delrich (Richard DeManincor), Betsy Baker, Sarah York (Theresa Tilly)
Based on the short film Within the Woods by Sam Raimi
Year: 1981
"Cult classic." That's the best way to describe something like The Evil Dead, a low budget horror flick that's just this side of camp, to the point that you're not entirely certain whether it's intentional or not. The Rocky Horror Picture Show, for instance, is obviously trying to be campy. The original version of The Last House on the Left? Not so much, but it's got quite a bit of camp value, despite (or, more likely, because of) its disturbing subject matter. The Evil Dead has all the hallmarks of camp, and yet, because it's so earnest, it's also easy to believe that director Sam Raimi was, in fact, trying to make a genuinely terrifying horror film that just kind of got away from him. If you know anything about the strenuous shoot, for example, you can see where the earnestness comes in. Most of the crew was confined to the remote Tennessee cabin location for several weeks, and Raimi purposely mistreated his actors to get them into the proper mood for a horror film, for example. There's a very good chance that The Evil Dead was, in fact, meant to be a scary horror film that instead came together in the editing as the ambiguously humorous production that it ended up being – something that its sequels and spin-off series embraced more wholeheartedly.

THEATRICAL REVIEW: Independence Day: Resurgence
Directed by: Roland Emmerich
Produced by: Dean Devlin, Roland Emmerich, Harald Kloser
Screenplay by: Roland Emmerich, Dean Devlin, Nicolas Wright, James A. Woods, James Vanderbilt
Story by: Roland Emmerich, Dean Devlin, Nicolas Wright, James A. Woods
Edited by: Adam Wolfe
Cinematography by: Markus Förderer
Music by: Harald Kloser, Thomas Wanker
Starring: Liam Hemsworth, Jeff Goldblum, Jessie T. Usher, Maika Monroe, Brent Spiner, Bill Pullman, Deobia Oparei, Travis Tope, Angelababy, Nicolas Wright, William Fichtner, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Sela Ward, Judd Hirsch, Joey King, Vivica A. Fox, Nicolas Wright
Year: 2016
I've long held that the first Independence Day was one of the best bad movies ever made. Of course, as a kid, I thought the movie was genuinely one of the best movies ever made, and it was the first movie I was able to convince my parents to let me see multiple times while it was still in theatres. As time went on, the flaws and eccentricities of Roland Emmerich's ridiculous alien invasion movie became much more apparent, of course. However, what became even more apparent was that I still undoubtedly loved the movie, often more because of its quirks rather than in spite of them. The cast that was assembled for that movie was seriously stellar: Will Smith, Jeff Goldblum, Bill Pullman, Judd Hirsch, Vivica A. Fox, Brent Spiner… And that scene where the aliens finally unleash their ultimate weapon remains one of the standout special effects moments I've ever seen. Sure, it's obviously an effect, but I recall watching the special effects feature on the DVD and being completely in awe of just how much care went into making those scenes. (Did you know they built model cities, tipped them on their side, and then launched the flames upward to get those destructive effects?) Read more…
THEATRICAL REVIEW: The Visit
Directed by: M. Night Shyamalan
Produced by: Marc Bienstock, Jason Blum, M. Night Shyamalan
Written by: M. Night Shyamalan
Edited by: Luke Franco Ciarrocchi
Cinematography by: Maryse Alberti
Music by: Paul Cantelon
Starring: Olivia DeJonge, Ed Oxenbould, Deanna Dunagan, Peter McRobbie, Kathryn Hahn
Year: 2015
M. Night Shyamalan – the guy's name has basically become synonymous with "crappy movie with a twist ending." The filmmaker was once purported to be "the next Steven Spielberg" when he released his first film, The Sixth Sense, and people continued to call him a master of suspense with the release of his second, Unbreakable. There was a brief time when Shyamalan's name in the credits was reason enough to go flock to the theatre and see his latest work, but something quickly changed in the public consciousness, it seemed. It seemed to start at a different time for everyone. For some, it was his alien invasion film Signs, with its improbably prophetic twist reveal. For others, it was The Village, which seemed to promise one movie in the trailers and delivered something completely different and ultimately disappointing with the end product. Some were even willing to go as far as The Lady in the Water, but others even took issue with Unbreakable, while others claim that one's still superior to his first. Read more…
REVIEW: Hocus Pocus
Directed by: Kenny Ortega
Produced by: David Kirschner, Steven Haft
Written by: Mick Garris, Neil Cuthbert (screenplay), David Kirschner, Mick Garris (story)
Edited by: Peter E. Berger
Cinematography by: Hiro Narita
Music by: John Debney
Starring: Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, Kathy Najimy, Omri Katz, Thora Birch, Vinessa Shaw, Jason Marsden, Doug Jones, Sean Murray, Charles Rocket, Stephanie Faracy, Larry Bagby, Tobias Jelinek, Jodie Rivera
Year: 1993
Despite my love for this film as a kid, it'd been quite some time since I ever actually saw this movie from beginning to end. A few scenes here and there on ABC Family, sure, but the viewing was always interrupted by something else. Perhaps it's just because the end of September is the beginning of a very busy month for my family – a close family friend's birthday is at the end of September, and then there's my stepdad's and then my own birthday, and then you get into the "holiday season" along with two more birthdays thrown in for good measure, and it's just rare that you sit down to watch anything you either have seen before, that is, unless it's mandatory viewing – kinda like Shaun of the Dead or the Scream films are for me. However, for many, I do know that this is the movie they look forward to seeing every time this year, and, you know, I can't really blame them. It's a really fun flick. Read more…

21 Ways to Fill up Your Cup – Busy Mumma
Ahhh so the day is done and the air is quiet…and you're alone and at peace with the dishwasher doing its thing, maybe even listening to the tv in the background, the dishes staring at you and still, you just curl up on that couch and relax a little. The washing will still be there in the morning, the piles of clothes and plates just keep multiplying and you know what – that's ok too, you can always catch up tomorrow or the next day.
So its super easy to zone out for a couple of hours, tune into the Bachelor, catch up on some tv or binge some Netflix – and you should!!! Enjoy your little bit of peace and quiet and do something, nothing or somewhere in between – you really deserve it!
But let me ask you this…what have you done for yourself lately to fill up your cup? As mummas and parents we spent literally all day running around and filling up lunchboxes, snack plates, water bottles and making and remaking cups of tea and coffee…and it's really really hard to prioritise ourselves.
So whatever time you normally go to bed (no judgement here) we all stay up a bit later than we should…holding onto those precious quiet uninterrupted moments where we can do things without scanning the room for each child every four seconds and focus.
How would it be if you went to bed half an hour earlier than usual – and you know, had a bath, put on a facemask, washed and blow-dried your hair (if your children sleep like the dead or your bathroom is soundproof) or put on a meditation and just took a few moments to destress? Sit with that tiredness, the aches in your feet, your scratchy eyeballs, the list of a million things that are screaming at you to do them first…and turn them all off. Just – be – you…just for a few minutes. Leave the phone by the bedside all ready for the morning – and just climb into bed and power down your brain for sleep.
There are thousands of ways to calm your brain-cells before bed, processes you should follow and don't forget your (insert latest craze here) to ensure you have a restful night's sleep – but in reality…there really isn't much that helps to calm the mind unless you make a conscious effort.
All the studies about blue light and artificial lights messing with our natural circadian rhythm are all pretty much on the money – but we still have to live in the reality that we have, and make it work the very best we can!
So what do you do to wind-down? How to do fit in a little bit of self care? How do ensure that your cup is full and ready for the day tomorrow?
I fully appreciate that most of us just get up and keep going because that's what we do – however, how nice would it be to do a little something of what we love?
Here's some suggestions of little things that might help to recharge those batteries running on empty;
- Paint your nails, or let your kids do it then do the dishes in hot water and they'll come good – strange but it works
- Go and visit your local Korean beauty shop and buy a small collection of masks – they're quick, fun and totally make you feel fabulous! Most of them are very affordable too!
- Go for a walk/run/ride/check the letterbox and enjoy the sunshine/snow/wind that embraces you outside
- Go to the gym (if you enjoy it) and give those endorphins a run for their money
- Phone a friend/your mum/dad/gran or even your bestie for a chat
- Meditate or listen to a guided app to chill out your cells
- Try a local yoga centre (don't give up if you don't like the first one you try there are LOTS of different styles)
- Go to the beach, dip your toes in the sand and the water even if it's chilly and let the negative ions from the ocean recharge you
- Go out for a coffee/tea and a treat BY YOURSELF – or make a thermos and sit outdoors somewhere nice and enjoy the serenity
- Shut the door and pee/poop by yourself for a change
- Buy yourself some new perfume
- Restock your make-up even if it's only from the supermarket or chemist
- Start a new journal – check out The Happiness Planner or bullet journals
- Take up knitting, croqueting or weaving on a loom
- Buy yourself some new knickers – they really do make you feel like a million bucks, and they don't even have to be expensive (who would know anyway)
- Go to the library and let the kids borrow 9 books and get yourself 1 as well!
- Take up scrap-booking or some other crafty lick n stick idea
- Check out apps to learn another language such as Dualingo, there are great easy to learn sessions and you might even surprise yourself (great prep if you're planning a holiday to that country too)
- Put a post up on your local mother's group/community page inviting everyone to the local park for a play on the weekend for a few hours – you were planning to go anyway but the more the merrier at the park right?
- Check out The Meetup website or app – there are SO many like minded people looking for new people to catch up with for thousands of different interests, definitely worth a quick read!
- Last but not least…just be you – you don't have to go anywhere or do anything if you'd prefer to curl up on the couch and not talk to anyone for a few seconds/minutes/hours – you fill in the gaps, you know what you love to do, so just do it!!
I really love to sit down with a cuppa and read a good book, but I really haven't been in the mood to read for ages. There's something about borrowed time and my to-do list eating me that means I tend to put myself last. Next thing you know it's too late (or too early) and I'm too tired or busy thinking about the next day to bother.
Oddly enough I also love to write, though I'm only recently rediscovering my ability to put fingers to keys and share some of the marvellously crazy thoughts that go on inside this head of mine – nothing ventured, nothing gained so here it is!
Would love to hear your thoughts and self-care ideas, I'm always keen to hear your suggestions and reviews on things you love too! Love HRM.

tv The Last Word MSNBC January 24, 2013 10:00pm-11:00pm EST
10:00 pm
six out of every seven should be retired. now they have to make room for a big expansion. because here comes chimps. concerned advocacy about how concerned we are about these guys lead to legislation which led to law to something that needed a solution. this is the way that it needs to go. it sometimes seems impossible, but it worked, it worked for the chimps the least. now it is time for the last word with lawrence o'donnell. have a great night. john kerry began his confirmation hearing today with absolutely no intension of embarrassing the republicans in the foreign relations committee.
10:01 pm
so, they had to embarrass themselves. >> the american people deserve to know answers. >> we were missled. >> what difference does it make? >> by the competitive nature of politics. >> i'm happy for you. >> they determined an effective representative. >> my senior senator and my friend, senator john kerry. >> suddenly i'm feeling a lot of sympathy for the folks who sit down here. >> some things don't change. >> if you are trying to get some daylight between me and secretary clinton that is not going to happen here today. >> we do know what happened. were you at the briefing with the tapes? >> that is not going to happen
10:02 pm
here today. >> republican reset. could there be a war on the republican party. >> here it is again. >> what do you think the party must do better. >> coordinated effort by republicans. >> to change the rules for electing a president. >> they have no choice. >> what do you think the party must do better. >> we're laistening, we're listening. >> another day, another hearing in which a senator gets to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that he is in competent. >> will you work with me so that we can find out what actually happened and then we can move beyond that. >> well i think, senator, in all fairness, i think we do know what happened.
10:03 pm
i think it was very clear. >> were you at the briefing with the tapes? >> no. >> there was a briefing with tapes which we all saw those of us who went to it. we sat for hours with our intel folks who described to us what we were seeing and we saw the events unfold we had a complete description. >> that was john kerry humiliating senator johnson. he received the most impressive bipartisan introduction that perhaps the senate at ever seen. >> i'm very pleased that john will be given the chance subject to confirmation to continue the work of a lifetime on behalf of our country. >> let me thank you on behalf of the committee for all that you
10:04 pm
have done. there is no one in the senate that has spent more time than you have on issues of imporps to our country. >> one say historians will judge his senate years much the same way some recognize centsen sena ted kennedy's impact. >> but that didn't stop the republicans from trying to turn the hearing into episode two, into why did they conspire to hide the truth from the american people? >> the world is a dangerous police when america is not leading. we had a hearing yesterday about libra libya but we didn't talk about the conditions that led to the
10:05 pm
consulate. >> i think this is important and trying to get to the truth in the matter of benghazi do you agree with hillary clinton, that that is yesterday's news and let's move on. >> if you are trying to get some day light between me and secretary clinton that is not going to happen here today. >> john mccain could not reserve the going back to yesterday's news. >> i didn't want to bring it up, but since it was just brought up i'll have to respond again. we do care why the american people were misled. some of us will not give up on this until we get all of the answers. >> i don't want to go on about it, but i didn't suggest and i don't want to suggest nor do i believe that secretary clinton was saying that people don't
10:06 pm
care about knowing what happened. >> there is no exam for being a united states senator. >> it is a matter of tricking enough voters. >> the bar is in the ground. >> what an amazing day two on the failure to unearth the conspiracy of how to lie to the american people. >> he is like a human whack-a-mole. ron johnson gets too close to him and your brain cells die. this is like the legacy of ron johnson. he attributes the warming of the earth to sun spots to gee logical spots of time. he is convinced that there is a conspiracy and there is none there. nor is it with hillary clinton saying it doesn't matter. he is obsessed with you know, he
10:07 pm
is obsessed with suspects who are no longer being examined and we know who did it. but he is following vapor trails to nowhere. >> i thought marco rubio did well i wondered if ron johnson was part of a one-two punch. he was going to really try to be -- men al migitry. >> it was striking to me. the sense of and this is bipartisan. the sense of paranoya anxiety that permeates every discussion of america's roll e in the worl and foreign policy. you would think we are consumed by consatant threats and
10:08 pm
occupiers. i'm nervous about this and anxious about this and i think it was a striking moment. it gives you a sense of what the cost of trying to moaintain thi presence and project is. >> and the difficulty of articulating a strategy. >> speaking of costs. and speaking of senator johnson. i don't mean to pick on him. he did ask an interesting question that i believe has never come up in a confirmation hearing. that is what are you going to do about the debt and deficit? >> let's listen to that. >> you utilize your position to work with the president to solve the debt and deficit issue.
10:09 pm
>> scepte i'm not here to go th the details why we didn't. there was a very, hard line position that prevented us from being able to come to an agreement which we just came to. but we came to it with far lesson the table and far less accomplished than we would have had if we had come to it a year ago >> and that is the most diplomatic answer than we had. >> well, it is telling that this is sort of the default position on anything. >> you got me on benghazi now debt and deficit. >> but this is the position of the republican ares on any kind of big picture item. we are outraged on his speech because he didn't talk about the
10:10 pm
deficit. >> what would he talk about? there is nothing else they have to wave. >> that is one issue where they have a political traction. there is a majority on americans. but they have made the calculation. there are a whole bunch of issues where they are not on the right side. most issue. >> they are trying not to talk about those things. they are thinking we can get to 55% if we talk about this. we can alienate young voters if we talk about this. i want to watch hillary clinton first. >> for me, this is not just a matter of policy, it is personal. i stood next to president obama as the marines carried those
10:11 pm
flag-draped caskets off the plane at andrews. i put my arms around the mothers and fathers the sisters and daughters and the wives left alone to raise their children. >> now, of course, people who believe that john boehner is the greatest speaker of the house criticized that saying there she is trying to bring emotional testimony into that. i don't know how you describe that scene without some emotional expression. >> i think the outcry, imagine if the tables were turned and there was a republican secretary talking about that and did so with the emotion that hillary clinton did and there was an outcry that it was fake and it
10:12 pm
was hood winked. >> let's take a look at john kerry. if you confirm me, i would take office as secretary proud that the senate is in my blood. but equally proud that so too is the foreign service. my father's work under presidents both democrat and republican took me and my siblings around the world for a personal journey and sacrifices that the men and women make every day on behalf of america. >> no criticism for that. >> the criticism about secretary clinton that i thought, here she was clearly taking responsibility. i think the reason that she teared up is that she feels
10:13 pm
responsible. as the moment that she takes responsibility they go after her for it. >> thank you for joining me tonight. >> coming up. >> how soon will be hearing the words senator barney frank? after the landslide. republicans are trying to rig the electoral college of course and the most important testimony given at the senate foreign relations committee was given by john kerry 42 years ago.

10:18 pm
team obama's field director jeremy burd has decided his next job will be turning texas blue. he told politico: as democrats are looking to expand the map, republicans are designciding if you can't beat cheat them. they are moving forward with a plan to change the system from winner take all to congressional district districts one. in november in virginia, president obama won 51% of the
10:19 pm
popular vote and received all 13 in the system. now here is what would have happened under the proposed 47 plan. president obama would have won 51% of the popular vote but just 4 of those votes. mitt romney would have received the other 9 votes. under the proposal mitt romney would have won 47% of the actual vote but would have been avoided 69% of the state's electoral votes. if you can't win honestly go this way. it is fascinating to me what he was doing in texas this summer knowing that he wasn't going to win it. and knowing what they can do
10:20 pm
with the changing demographics of the state. i think texas is a longer term process. democrats are plblowing it out. if you look at the population in the state it is not matched by the registered voter pool. that is going to help you a lot. the problem is if you look at east texas and west texas we have heavily white populations, where race is the sole predictor. if you look at mississippi and alabama, these are states where he gotten percent of the white vote. so the problem is, if the white vote in texas continues to trend
10:21 pm
toward the deep south it is not going to be in the next decade. but it might not be for another decade. this is the long-term strategizing. in virginia, they are inviting a constitutional challenge. that will be taken up by the supreme court. >> the weird twist there is, you have the maine and nebraska models in effect now. and the winner of the popular vote gets the two at-large votes. and there has been that plit in 2008. the twist in virginia is it is the winner of the most congressional districts.
10:22 pm
it is a strange move. there is sort of an admission here by republicans that there is a threat here that if this gathers steam, if the big blue states, if you had that basic maine nebraska model, the vote would have been 276 romney and 262 obama. it is that condensed. in a few numbers of districts and in the state. the democrats have the numbers but republican ares have land mass and that is where it kind of shows. >> the next big election massachusetts senate. john kerry is day as way from confirmation. and they have to have an interim
10:23 pm
senator appointed the official position of this show is go with experience and go with barney frank >> it was big of you to take yourself out of the mix. >> i decided to go with more experience. >> you know, it has been fascinated. my sense of the situation is that he was looking to appoint somebody out of the box. and bar knee frank i think picked up on that. he has created a situation here if patrick does not give it to bar knee frank the question is going to be that he has tremendous liberal based support.
10:24 pm
i'm not sure how much experience the government has with dealing with that demand for somebody. >> i'm not sure how this is playing with pa track. it is the psychology of one guy and who can get in his head. >> steve, thank you for joining me tonight. coming up. the military will open up comback positions. and in the rewrite tonight why the testimony john kerry gave today and every time he appears before the committee as secretary of state will never be as important as the first time he testified to that committee 42 years ago as a war protester. pleasures can simply hurt.

10:32 pm
mccain's response that the ban on women in combat is over. >> senator leon panetta lifted the ban opening positions to women soldiers and marines. >> it won't happen right away. the first plans aren't due until may of this year and special exceptions can be requested by each branch for jobs until 2016. but more women who have served in iraq afghanistan. nearly 1,000 have been wounded in action. one of those is now a democratic congresswoman from the state of illinois. she can tell you that combat is already a reality. >> i did lose my legs in a bar
10:33 pm
fight. i was sure i was in combat. >> joining me now retired army general. what is your reaction to this latest development? >> i think it is a great initiative and long overdue. and i'm kind of curious, i'm very curious about the timing of it. and the implementation. they need to make it retro active back to at least 2002 when women were already serving. there was no question about physical capabilities then as they were attaching women to these fighting units. but waiting for three years what happens in thee years that has not happened in the last 7 or 8? they need to recognize them
10:34 pm
officially that they served in combat. and move ahead from here. there are certainly men who won't pass the qualification tests as there will be women who don't pass the tests. there will be women who accell and men who accell in these situations. maybe there have been situations in placing them in combat training situations first. >> i want to tell you about the qualifications. >> it is another thing to be out there on a night raid against al qaeda. but the fact is that this is a -- i support this decision and i think that woman are are fully qualified to carry out that mission but i want to see the
10:35 pm
same physical standards and requirements. >> what about that? as i said, there are men who cannot qualify. that has never been a point. mostly because it is how it was related to how the american ment uses the draft. every man that was drafted was drafted for a combat position and there were other positions that became available. but there was never a discussion about are all men qualified for combat now there is a discussion about whether women are kal qualified for combat positions. but in 2003 there was no discussion about deploying women
10:36 pm
to iraq for this combat situation about whether they would be physically capable because they would be physically attached. i don't think it is fair i do think there has to be an evaluation. but it must ininclude every entry at every rank in the military system. >> general, thank you very much for joining us tonight. >> coming up. you have seen the moment when you ask the question, how do you ask a man to be the last man to die in vietnam? he had so much to say i believe it saved thousands of hives by getting the united states out of vietnam sooner. i'll show you more of what he

10:41 pm
well, i say to them tonight, there is the united states of america. there is not a black america, and a white america and a latino america there is the united states of america. >> we can thank john kerry for that. and we can thank john kerry for a lot more. he made that happen. he chose barack obama a then unknown 42-year-old senate candidate to give the key note address the most important address at the democratic national convention. barack obama hukan't get the credentials to get into the last
10:42 pm
convention made that speech. we had seen the person who could be the first african-american president without that speech, it is very hard almost impossible to imagine barack obama launching a campaign three years later. today barack obama made this happen. >> i know there is a lot of ground to cover. i look forward to that dialogue. >> john kerry's place to history is almost already assured. his contribution occurred at that seat 42 years ago. long before he actually ran for senate he testified to the foreign relations committee as a leader of vietnam veterans
10:43 pm
against the war. he was decorated in saving the lives of men who came forward to tell their stories, but he saved many more lives than that. he saved thousands and thousands of lives when he testified on april 22nd, 1971, 56,000 american soldiers had been killed in vietnam. in each of the years he was in vietnam, more american soldiers were killed there than in the entirety of both wars in iraq afghanistan. it was a death toll that is unimaginable to any one who didn't live through those years. richard nixon had won the presidency on the lie that he
10:44 pm
had a plan to end the war. john kerry gave us more young americans ip including nixon knew was a lost cause. it was personified then by hippies. kids who were experimenting with new ways of living and dressing and the attitude that they had no duty to serve in a american war. the anti-war movement to be successful needed squon kerry. it was as if he was a character delivered to us by a novel ellist. he shared john f kennedy's initials and some of this accent and was a decorated navy war
10:45 pm
hero. he was clean-cut for a hippy. he didn't have a stragley beard. but no other man appears before the committee had long hair covering his ears. he had a choice to make. he could have gotten a haircut and gre dressed like a senator. he chose to look like a war protester against the war. the sen tarred had never heard testimony like that. as did the white house. the day after his testimony. president nixon had this conversation with his chief of staff who would later go to
10:46 pm

Research shows that students who are not proficient in reading by third grade are less likely to graduate from high school. About a quarter of East Penn School District third-graders are not reading proficiently.
That's one of the most pressing reasons East Penn is seeking to move from half-day kindergarten to full-day kindergarten throughout the district's seven elementary schools.
Three kindergarten teachers and three administrators have been building a case for why East Penn should expand all its kindergartens to full day. They expect to have a concrete proposal — including the cost of implementing it — this fall with the hope of transitioning to full-day kindergarten in fall 2018.
At a recent school board meeting, Kristen Campbell, assistant superintendent, told school directors full-day kindergarten has been shown to help children both academically and with social skills.
"These outcomes, which are based on research, include increased student achievements in English, language arts, mathematics, as well as improved social and emotional growth," Campbell said.
Tricia Gutman, academic support coordinator, said reading proficiency by third grade is the most important predictor of high school graduation and career success.
"If students are not proficient readers by third grade, they are four times as likely to drop out of high school," she said.
"As you can see from our pie charts, 27 percent of our third graders were not proficient in reading according to the [Pennsylvania System of School Assessment]," Gutman said. "We believe if we had full-day K we could hope to decrease this percentage to improve student success."
Evidence that reading proficiency by third grade is important comes from a 2011 study by Hunter College professor Donald J. Hernandez, who studied reading scores and later graduation rates of 3,975 students. Hernandez found those who struggled to read by third grade were four times less likely to graduate high school by age 19 than those who were proficient readers by third grade.
In Lehigh and Northampton counties, 10 of the 17 school districts, including Parkland, Allentown and Saucon Valley, have full-day kindergarten at all of their elementary schools. Two years after doing so, Bethlehem Area said nearly 90 percent of kindergarten students are reading on grade level.
As they move forward, East Penn teachers and administrators recognize the importance of purposeful play, saying a longer school day would allow for more such activities, which are beneficial for learning lessons about academic subjects and in helping students gain social skills such as cooperation and communication.
Jefferson Elementary kindergarten teacher Stacy Confer-Resch said as a current half-day kindergarten teacher, she feels rushed trying to get in all the lessons that promote literacy, language skills and rudimentary math.
"Sometimes it feels like you're running a marathon at a 5K pace," Confer-Resch said. She tries to work in science and social studies but has little time for them.
East Penn already offers full-day kindergarten to some students.
Mary Anne Stella, a full-day kindergarten teacher at Alburtis Elementary, said the longer day gives students more time for lessons in skills such as problem solving but they also would learn values such as empathy.
"After experiencing the full-day program, my students have grown not just socially and emotionally but academically as well," Stella said.
Karen Gennaro, a full-day kindergarten teacher at Lincoln Elementary, said she has taught full-day and half-day kindergarten and found the extended day allows for more time for math games and workshops, individual instruction and small-group instruction, as well as purposeful play.
She gave examples of teachers having students act out a haiku poem or pretend to fly a kite, the latter providing lessons in physics and self-help skills.
She did not have to convince School Director Ziad Munson, who said more time for purposeful play is "a key feature and selling point of the plan."
Campbell said administrators think the schools will have the space for full-day kindergarten and have met with transportation providers about costs. But they need more information before they can provide an accurate cost estimate for the entire program.
Administrators envisioned giving the board the best cost estimates for making kindergarten full day at the first board meeting in October, she said. Then the board would be asked to vote on the plan at the second meeting in October.
Several school directors balked at the short interval between them getting the numbers and voting on the plan.
"If we're given the cost figures in the first meeting in October and asked to vote on full-day kindergarten, will you be able to present at that time an analysis of the impact of the costs on the district budget for the next year so that we know what the additional millage costs or tax costs will be?" School Director Charles Ballard asked.
Superintendent Michael Schilder said the administration would try to get the cost estimates to the school directors earlier but the numbers might be less precise.
Margie Peterson is a freelance writer.
What: A team East Penn School District teachers and administrators are exploring the idea of offering full-day kindergarten to all students.
What's next: The team expects to give the school board a concrete proposal – including the cost of implementing it – this fall with the hope of transitioning to full-day kindergarten in fall of 2018.

Our first day using Handbook of Nature Study by Anna Bostford Comstock and I'm delighted to find that it is just as charming a read as the others we've started. Such well written material. A quick favorite among all the others, makes it hard to choose just one.
I was fortunate to find a used copy on Thriftbooks.com, I prefer if I can to get vintage. They're so much more visually appealing.
The books for Day 3, with one exception of Charlotte Mason's Geography which I have in a softcover copy, but you can print from a .PDF if you click on the link above for pick your price.
Studying John Constable with my own made wiki biography booklet to go along with our Art Study, download that in my previous post click on the photo.
We also read a portion from our Composer Study biography I created if you're interested in that free printable it's on a previous post as well, click on the photo.
I find John Constable's art relaxing to look at. It's peaceful and I completely agree that He should paint his own world. I'm a big believer in finding the wonderland right where you are.
We read D'Aulaire's Pocahontas on the first day, although I think I failed to mention that, oops. So, today I chose Peter Pan, this version is illustrated by Arthur Rackham. I really love his illustrations.
Quickly turning into my favorite version of A Child's Garden of Verses by Robert Louis Stevenson illustrated by Tasha Tudor. I often pick books out first by their illustrator and second by their authors, I'm a pretty visual person.
This beauty was shipped all the way from England for $12. And is another surprising enjoyable read. I'm going to fully enjoy the literature we're using through Ambleside, I know it. I'm also really loving how their "chapters" are much smaller, so the average daily read is pretty consolidated.
Color illustrations. You really can't beat them.
They both did copywork today that was a free resource in the Ambleside Online group in the files section. It was wonderful that they are all quotes from the Aesop stories we're doing as well.
He adores Explode the Code, he's in level 4 and honestly he probably loves it mostly because even though he's at grade level he just flies right through it. I'm alright with it, his foundation just keeps getting stronger.
Yesterday was 4th of July so we took the day to enjoy family, but Wednesdays are our Nature Study day as scheduled in my weekly schedule, you can find that free printable here.
What are some things you've included in your homeschool days? What are some of your favorite books, I'm always looking to add to our Home Library.

ACT Australian of the Year Awards recipients announced
An advocate for social justice and disadvantaged people; the woman who created Australia's Breast Cancer Awareness Day; an indigenous health care leader; and a young man with a vision for a compassionate and tolerant society were tonight named as the ACT recipients in the Australian of the Year Awards 2008.
The Chief Minister of the ACT, Mr Jon Stanhope MLA, presented the recipients with their awards in a ceremony this evening and thanked all finalists for their contribution to their fellow Australians.
The ACT award recipients are:
The ACT Australian of the Year 2008 is social justice advocate Lin Hatfield Dodds.
As President of the Australian Council of Social Services, Director of UnitingCare Australia, and Chair of the Australian Capital Territory Community Inclusions Board, Lin works tirelessly for low income and disadvantaged Australians. Her advocacy is effective because she is so well informed, respectful, and professional. As a working mother, Lin is a role model and inspiration for working women and demonstrates the benefits of a sensible work/life balance. Lin's contribution was recognised by an International Women's Day Award in 2002 and in 2003 she was awarded a Churchill Fellowship to study anti-poverty strategies and welfare delivery overseas.
The ACT Senior Australian of the Year 2008 is breast cancer awareness pioneer Professor Linda Reaby AM.
From when she was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1990, Linda dedicated her professional career to raising public awareness of the condition and funding for breast cancer research. She wrote the proposal for Australia's Breast Cancer Day and lobbied extensively for political support for what has become a major national annual event since 1994. Linda also has a remarkable record of securing competitive grants - more than $8 million, including one for making higher degrees more accessible to working nurses. As a breast cancer survivor, nurse educator, and academic, Linda developed a decision-making model for health professionals to ascertain whether women are making informed decisions about their treatment alternatives. Linda has published extensively in international scientific journals and presented papers at national and international conferences.
The ACT Young Australian of the Year 2008 is high achiever Xian Zhi Soon.
Twenty-one year old Xian Zhi Soon is passionate about tackling issues affecting young people and being a catalyst for positive change. His community service led to his being awarded a scholarship for three consecutive years and he was recognised in 2003 for his exceptional achievements as one of NSW's most outstanding students. Zhi was a member of the National Youth Roundtable in 2003 and in 2005 became the youngest member ever appointed to the NSW Board of Studies. Since moving to Canberra to complete his studies he has become co-founder of the Ashtyn Institute, a think-tank providing a forum for young people to engage in the public policy debate.
The ACT Local Hero 2008 is indigenous health practitioner Dr Peter Sharp.
Dr Sharp is Medical Director of the Winnunga Nimmityjah Aboriginal Health Service which was established in 1988 to provide a culturally safe and holistic health service for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people of the Australian Capital Territory and surrounding areas. He is their longest serving staff member. At first he travelled from Sydney every weekend to run a clinic and then took on home visits. He now runs clinics at local and regional correctional facilities and at Narrabundah Primary School. Peter also works with older people affected by alcohol and substance abuse and trains other medical professionals in Aboriginal health. Peter has a high level of understanding of the complex health, social, emotional, and cultural needs of his patients. In return he is held in high esteem by the local Indigenous community.
"The ACT should be very proud of these community members, who are making a real impact in the lives of others," said Tam Johnston, National Manager of the Australian of the Year Awards.
"Like all our award recipients this year, they have been truly inspirational in their own fields and in the broader community."

Our project entitled "Green Server Room with RUBIN COOL" won third place in the category of businesses with 20–69 employees and even secured the special prize of Index.hu at the 2013 InnoMax Award.
"Recipients of this year's InnoMax Award are, without exception, able to combine modern technology with the power and the interests of the community," said Gyöngyvér Gerlei, Chief Sales Officer Corporate at Invitel and judge of the jury of the InnoMax Award.
We are proud to have achieved such a great success at this innovation competition advertised with the slogan "Innovation and Perfectionism". We are especially honored that our solution was awarded with the special prize of Index.hu.
Our project uses a brand new concept in the operation of climate control systems. Currently, technological rooms are cooled at high cost using air conditioners only. Our solution combines air conditioning with ventilation and, as a result, not only offers more reliable operation but also huge savings on energy and maintenance costs. RUBIN COOL requires no significant investment because this intelligent controller uses the legacy system with greater reliability and efficiency.
