Shirley Sherrod Case Exposes Raw Wounds at the White House About Race
On Monday evening, White House officials got word of a story they knew would be troublesome: a Department of Agriculture official was caught on tape suggesting she'd given a white farmer less of her time than she would have given a black farmer.
The heads-up came from the USDA itself, which was already circulating a press statement: Shirley Sherrod would be fired. The White House personnel office and the press office signed off. A few senior White House officials were looped in as a courtesy.
And the Secretary of Agriculture, Tom Vilsack, insists that no one from the White House told him to do anything. The videotape, at the time, spoke for itself.
Shirley Sherrod may be insignificant in the grand scheme of things, but the handling of her case has exposed raw wounds at the White House.
There are two points Vilsack had in mind. One was race. President Obama's numbers among white people are historically low. His motivations aren't trusted. Andrew Breitbart and Fox News regularly accuse him of privileging the needs/wants/desires of minorities more than white people. So when a rare case comes to the fore where it appears as if a government official actually treated people differently because of her race, getting her fired, quickly, is how you solve the problem, especially if you're accused of reacting so slowly.
A year into this presidency, race still trips up the White House. And, apparently, the country. It's no longer taboo to directly accuse the president of using his powers to benefit blacks over whites. The old Southern strategy from Lee Atwater's days, where complaints about economic redistribution are used as a proxy to anger white voters, is suddenly back with a vengeance.
The second was that the White House, and cabinet officials, have been accused of reacting too slowly to political crisis. Vilsack wanted to act quickly. In a sense, he had over-learned a lesson.
The White House palace intrigue stuff is interesting, but less so than the observation that the tone of the racial debate is in some ways less civilized that it was before we elected our first black president. Maybe these debates were never resolved. Maybe they were submerged by the prosperity of the 1990s and the focus on war and terrorism of the aught decades... and now, because there is a black president, there is oxygen for them again.
Curiously, even though the White House itself appears to have had little or nothing to do with the actual decision, some officials have been diming out others.
There are numerous entangling motivations... a sense among black staffers that white staffers still don't know how to properly handle racial stuff ... a sense among other staffers that the White House is driven too much by Fox's agenda... a sense that the political operation is not doing well, which may be true from an absolute standpoint but is false from a relative one - what do they have to play with? Not much.
A White House official said "We're all snake-bitten" today.
That about sums it up.

With the 2017 World Championship Group Draw officially over and worlds patch released, Esportsranks brings you an exclusive summary of this week's awesomeness. First, let's see who will play against who in the 2017 World Championship
2017 World Championship Group Draw
Play-In Draw
|Group A
|Group B
|Group C
|Group D
|Team WE
|Hong Kong Attitude
|Gambit Esports
|oNe eSports
|Young Generation
|1907 Fenerbahçe Esports
|Lyon Gaming
|Dire Wolves
|Kaos Latin Gamers
It's obviously way too early to predict anything, but by the looks of it, Fnatic got one of the easier groups, which might be just what they need to push through into the group stage. Young Generation international debut has everything to do with their countrymen GIGABYTE Marines placing the highest of all wildcard teams on this year's MSI.
If Cloud9 brings their NA LCS Gauntlet Finals form to the international scene, they shouldn't have many problems with oNe eSports and Dire Wolves either.
In Group A, Team WE are undisputed favourites. Group D will probably be the most interesting, due to Japan, LMS and Turkey being on a rather equal level power-wise.
One thing's for sure, it will get messy with all the different regional metas and playstyles. It's not outlandish to expect quite a few upsets in the process.
Group Draw
|Group A
|Group B
|Group C
|Group D
|Edward Gaming
|Longzhu Gaming
|G2 Esports
|Flash Wolves
|SK Telecom T1
|Samsung Galaxy
|ahq e-Sports Club
|GIGABYTE Marines
|Royal Never Give Up
|Team SoloMid
Of course, before the Play-In stage is over, we can only partially gauge the main groups.
Everybody will try to avoid Group A with SKT and EDG in it. Group B is also barely winnable with Longzhu Gaming spitting fire on everybody.
Group C is a bit less scary at first sight, but if you think about it a bit more, all three teams are about the same power and skill wise. Samsung Galaxy probably stands out a bit more due to the fact they had to survive Korean league. However, G2 and Royal Never Give up have had their fair share of premier league opponents this year, so you can't dismiss the duo either.
That leaves us with Group D. Merely skimming over it, it's immediately obvious that it lacks the punch of the other three groups. TSM shouldn't have problems with Misfits, while Flash Wolves, although a tough opponent, are still a winnable matchup.
Group D is probably where all of the four teams that advance from the Play-In stage will want to end up.
Play of the Week
The Huhi clutch is too much!
NA LCS Gauntlet
NA LCS Regional Qualifiers started off with an upset. It seems that Team Dignitas got seriously affected by losing 2 playoffs series in a row (semifinals and third place decider). On top of that, the pressure of being the favourites in the matchup seemed to have put the nail in their coffin.
FlyQuest set the foot on stage in the form they displayed in the last few weeks of the group phase. Despite their obvious weaknesses, this team led by WildTurtle showed everybody they are better than their standings show. On the other hand, Team Dignitas simply looked burned and faded. It doesn't come as a surprise then that FlyQuest not only won the series, but completely swept Team Dignitas in the process.
Next stop was Round 2 against CLG. This is where all the FlyQuest's holes became glaringly apparent. Of course, CLG capitalized on each and every opening. The series highlight was the unfortunate Aurelion Sol bug that required a Chronobreak reset for game 2 to continue. This didn't affect Counter Logic Gaming, who finished strong with a 3-1 series victory in the end.
Then, something happened that very few people expected to see in the final round. Cloud9, a perennial contender team that had a rough summer, came on stage laser focused and prepared to take a win off of Counter Logic Gaming's back. Although the final score doesn't reflect it, the games very close. Counter Logic Gaming played on their usual level, but C9 Jensen and Impact had a field day that day.
After Cloud9 took the first two games, Counter Logic Gaming retaliated in the third. It smelled of reverse sweep at first, but then in the fourth and final game, all hell broke loose as both team's junglers dragged their teams into wild, 50-50 teamfights. Cloud9 gained the upper hand in the end, sealing the series and securing their tickets for worlds.
EU LCS Gauntlet
Round 1 of the EU LCS Regional Qualifiers went as expected. H2K established dominance early on. Splyce were unable to mount any meaningful resistance through the course of the series. Ultimately, H2K did what H2K has been doing for the majority of the season. Calm, collected and consistent, they swept Splyce and proceeded to Round 2.
There, the eternal top-dogs Unicorns of Love had another one of their off-days, kind of. It wasn't your typical UoL with Exileh throwing games. In fact, Exileh played pretty well. However, it was evident from the second game it was a different H2K this time around. Going 2-0 into the fourth game, H2K tipped the pressure on UoL's side.
Of course, UoL aren't strangers to Bo5-s, quickly equalizing the score for 2-2. But then, in game 5, H2K doubled down on their early pressure, with Odoamne on Gnar pulling most of the weight. A somewhat unexpected win for H2K for sure, it was more than well deserved.
However, that's as far as H2K could realistically get. In the third and final round, Fnatic were ready to shut down any doubt and uncertainty and secure a trip to worlds. True enough, H2K were unable to come through in any meaningful way, succumbing to their fate once again, just like in the third place decider. This time around though, Fnatic didn't let it go the distance – they came through with a quick, sweeping 3-0 in the end.
No More EU LCS
For better or worse, it looks like this was the last season of EU LCS, at least in the current format. The rumours of EU splitting into 4 major regions turned out to be true, as sources close to the League report. The 10 teams from the League sent in their city choices this week.
As it stands, London will be the toughest region with a total of 4 EU LCS teams picking it as their home-ground. Fnatic, G2 Esports, Misfits and Splyce all want to play in London, UK. Interestingly enough, these are the same 4 teams that allegedly sent their applications for NA LCS franchised partnership.
Berlin, Germany is right behind with 3 of its own EU LCS teams – Unicorns of Love, FC Schalke 04 Esports and Team ROCCAT. Barcelona Spain was chosen by H2K Gaming and Giants Gaming. Lastly, Team Vitality opted for Paris.
The teams still have some time left to potentially change their minds and pick another city as their home turf. Each city/region will have 6 participants, as Riot has been in the talks with major European sports brands to enter the scene and join the existing pool of teams.
A significant change to the structure is accompanied by the transition from promotion/relegation system to the partnership/franchise model. For now, the teams will now have a guaranteed spot in their respective leagues. The situation might easily change over the next few years if new professional teams arise.
Parallel to these regional competitions, there will be a fifth one reserved for the top-ranked teams from each of the four leagues. The whole system was conceived and setup to mimic European soccer competition hierarchy, with country-level leagues that send their best teams into the continental Champions League.
These changes come in light of H2K's management releasing an open letter to the community last week, criticising Riot's existing and future policies in regard of EU League of Legends Esports scene. Yet, Riot has sent no clear message pertaining to revenue sharing and income models for teams that have been bleeding funds over the years.
This is all uncharted territory, so there very well may be more fireworks as the information gets released and/or leaked to the public. Stay tuned.

Read Without Walls Challenge
Hey Mustangs,
Are you up for the challenge? This year, I'm asking you to try something different. It's called the Read Without Walls Challenge. The criteria is pretty simple but you'll get so much out of it.
All you have to do is:
1. Read a book about a character who doesn't look like you or live like you.
2. Read a book about a topic you don't know much about.
3. Read a book in a format that you don't normally read for fun. This might be a chapter book, a graphic novel, a book in verse, a picture book, or a hybrid book.
Not bad, right? By challenging yourself to read outside of your comfort zone, you'll be exploring the world through books.
After you read a book with any of these elements, you can put your name and the name of the book on the bulletin board in the glass hallway.
Join in on the fun and share your love of reading!
Your comment will be posted after it is approved.
Leave a Reply.

30 Dec Favorite Facebook Recipes from 2016
Great Looking but How Tasty are They?
So many wonderful-looking recipes are posted on Facebook! And now that You-tube provides the means to create time-lapse, visual instructions, they look even more enticing. But how tasty are they? Are they easy to prepare? Or, if the recipe requires multiple steps, is it worth the effort?
Here's my take on the recipes I saved in 2016. I'll start with the ones I've tried and liked best, then move on to a couple that I wouldn't make again. Finally, I'll share a few that I intend to try early in 2017.
Look Good and Taste Good
Zuppa Toscana
This soup is creamy and absolutely delicious. It's easy to fix and makes enough to feed a crowd. Add bread and you have a hearty meal.
7-Ingredient Easy Zuppa Toscana (Creamy Gnocchi Soup with Kale and Sausage)
Turkey, Kale, and Butternut Squash Soup
This is now my go-to vegetable soup. It's not as calorie-laden as the Zuppa Toscana, but it's tasty and satisfying. Since the recipe yields such a huge a amount, I modified it, cutting all ingredients in half except the canned beans, and using 6 cups of vegetable broth (I used chicken broth).
Chicken Bacon Ranch Layer Salad
I love this salad! When I made it, I served it as a side dish, eliminating the chicken and serving the dressing on the side. I will definitely make it again to serve as a main dish. Very versatile, and a major plus is that it can be prepared and assembled ahead of time. Requires a few steps but well worth the effort!
Oven Baked Spicy Chicken Tacos
What a great alternative to ground meat tacos! They're easy, cheap, and delicious. Minimum prep time, especially if you use rotisserie chicken, which I did.
Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff
Ultra-easy and awfully good! I'm making it again tonight, in fact. Not quite as rich or salty as traditional stroganoff, and that's a plus for everyday meal planning. I'm serving it over egg noodles, with a side salad.
Creamy Cucumber Salad
This is a refreshing dish and especially good for winter, when the cucumbers are so seedy. Quick, easy, and healthy.
Cheesecake Cupcakes with Chocolate Ganache
I'll definitely make this recipe again. It's easy and tasty and I like the individual, moderate portions. I may try it next time with mini cupcake papers and mini Oreos for bite-sized portions.
Tried But Would Not Make Again
Apple-Cream Cheese Bundt Cake
A beautiful cake but definitely not worth the effort for the taste. My mother-in-law used to make a plum cake with baby plums and nuts that took only minutes to prepare. You could add a caramel icing and the result would surpass this cake, perhaps not in looks but definitely in taste. (I'll find that recipe and post it later.)
Slow Cooker Rotisserie Chicken
I love recipes with beer, but this one does nothing for the chicken, in my humble opinion. It's just too easy to get similar results from buying a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store or cooking one in the crockpot with some barbecue sauce or just a little salt and pepper. You may disagree.
On My List to Try in 2017
Homemade Dinner Rolls
If Sister Shubert didn't make such good rolls and I weren't trying to skip bread, I'd have made these already. They really do look good and easy.
Slow Cooker Cashew Chicken
This looks wonderful.
Easy Cheesy Manicotti
This looks like a real winner!
Thanks to the food community for sharing your recipes on Facebook. You help to turn the drudgery of cooking into a pleasant adventure. I only regret that there are so many recipes and so little time to try them all. Happy New Year to food lovers everywhere!

Five Fluffy Flowers
This is a bit of a girly shot if I do say so myself. I thought if I did a bit of an arty focus thing, no one would notice that I can't remember the name of the plant.

Implementation Strategies
View a selection of implementation strategies from educators who are successfully using ALEKS to achieve dramatic learning outcomes.
Canton South High School, Canton Local School District
Canton, OH
Grade(s): 9 - 12
Scenario: Computer Lab, One-to-One Laptop Program
Purpose: Intervention, Improve State Test Scores
Time Spent in ALEKS: 3.35 hours per week, 30 hours per term
ALEKS Course: Foundations of High School Math, High School Preparation for Algebra 1
Anthony Martin, Paraprofessional
Overall, ALEKS is a great tool to help students improve. I have seen multiple students improve from only having 15-20 percent of knowledge for a class to having 65-70 percent of the information after only three months with a full month between their last lesson and the comprehensive assessment. I really believe that ALEKS is a wonderful program that helps students to improve in any area of math because it helps them to learn things multiple times if they need it. One thing I notice is that ALEKS is best used as an everyday thing and not just as a once and awhile thing. It really helps the students learn the material so that even after a little layoff, the students still remember it.
What challenges did the class or school face in math prior to using ALEKS?
We had many students not pass the state standardized test. This caused them to search for programs to help them out, and they decided on ALEKS. We will see in about two weeks the results of using ALEKS as an intervention for these students. I feel that it has really helped them.
How many days per week is class time dedicated to ALEKS?
5 days per week.
What is the average length of a class period when ALEKS is used?
41 minutes.
How do you implement ALEKS?
It is implemented for the entire class period as an intervention for the state standardized test.
Do you cover ALEKS concepts in a particular order?
No, I allow students to progress at their own pace.
How do you structure your class period with ALEKS?
My class periods are solely used for the ALEKS program as an intervention to help improve state standardized test scores.
How did you modify your regular teaching approach as a result of ALEKS?
I didn't have to modify, as it is used as the sole intervention with my acting as the facilitator of the program.
How often are students required or encouraged to work on ALEKS at home?
They are encouraged to work at home when they miss a class in order to catch up.
How do you cultivate parental involvement and support for ALEKS?
I do not try to cultivate that involvement as it is used as an intervention and is not part of any grade.
Is ALEKS assigned to your students as all or part of their homework responsibilities? If so, what part of the total homework load is it?
How do you incorporate ALEKS into your grading system?
I do not assign grades for students.
Do you require students to make regular amounts of progress in ALEKS?
Yes, they need to complete a certain amount of time in the program with minimum progress to achieve "success" in the intervention.
Learning Outcomes
Since using ALEKS, please describe the learning outcomes or progress you have seen.
I see students becoming more independent with their work and showing increased confidence in their math ability. Students that put in effort show significant progress and improvement with their basic math skills. The students really like how they can see their day-to-day improvements with the pie and from assessment to assessment with the progress bars. The students feel proud when their progress bars improve more than what ALEKS says they have learned. For example, a student had 50 percent mastered and 11 percent learned since the last assessment for a total of 61 percent, but then when they did their assessment, it showed they had mastered 64 percent.
Best Practices
Are there any best practices you would like to share with other teachers implementing ALEKS?
I feel that implementing ALEKS is best served as an everyday thing and not just as a once and awhile thing.

If you are looking for NW Calgary Dental Hygiene services, Lippitt Dental is here to serve you! Did you know that Periodontal Disease is the most common disease in the world? Is it also the leading cause of tooth loss in adults! In fact, 75% of adults have some form of periodontal disease. Periodontal disease also impacts our health in a number of different ways. People with diabetes have a higher risk of developing periodontal disease but that's not it; many systemic conditions, such as diabetes, are linked to periodontal disease. Common inflammatory mechanisms, genes, environment, and lifestyle all play a role in oral health and overall health and wellness.
Whether you have healthy gums or if you have active periodontal disease, dental hygiene is very important. Regular scaling and root planing procedures to remove plaque and calculus (tartar) and bacterial toxins from hard to reach areas below the gum line keep your gums healthy from top to bottom!
Lippitt Dental recommends patients visit us twice a year for maintenance and preventative care unless your oral health status dictates you require more frequent visits.
Depending on your preventative treatment schedule, some visits may include:
Regular dental hygiene visits help us break the stronghold of bacteria in your gums and slow or eliminate their destructive effects. As such, removal of tarter and bacteria are crucial to treating gingivitis, controlling periodontal disease and preventing tooth decay. How do we accomplish this?
An ultrasonic scaler consists of a wand with a small scaling tip that produces soft ultrasonic vibrations and a gentle flow of water. As the tip moves along the tooth surface, it creates small pulses that break up plaque, tartar and other debris.
Ultrasonic scaling has proven to be very effective in removing large debris below the gum line in a very quick and efficient manner. Because of this, appointment times are shortened and patient comfort is improved. However, to ensure complete care, hand scaling is still always completed afterwards.
To learn more about our NW Calgary Dental Hygiene Services, please contact us at (403) 286-2525
to book your Hygiene Teeth Cleaning appointment today!
We also offer extended hours on Tuesday & Wednesdays for your family's convenience.

Infrastructure Parts Editor 2020
All New and Updated Features
|Add-ins for Autodesk InfraWorks
|· Added the ability to install both the previous release version and current release version of the Autodesk Revit Infraworks Updater and Autodesk Inventor Infrastructure Modeler Plugin. See About Add-Ins for InfraWorks
|Autodesk Connector for ArcGIS
|· With appropriate permissions, users of InfraWorks that load a dataset from ArcGIS will now be able to commit local changes back to the ESRI feature service using the new Save Back command.
|Civil Structures
|· Added the ability to add a bridge abutment or foundation back to the bridge after it has been removed.
· Improved the Send to Revit functionality so that volume information for each direct shape is passed to Revit as a shared parameter.
· Removed the Create Steel Bridge icon from the Bridge Design toolset. We removed this tool because it only applied to legacy, non parametric bridges and did not allow for the use of mixed girder types on the same bridge. Steel bridges can now be created with much more detail and more realistic steel girders by simply applying either the Steel Plate or Steel Box girders to any parametric bridge using the Create Parametric Bridge tool.
|Extended Schema
|· Added export/import capability to the Extend Schema tool so that users can easily move or add schema extensions.
|Model Builder
|· We've updated the Model Builder model creation workflow to allow all users to choose whether to store their models locally or in BIM 360. Model builder previously only allowed users to save to BIM 360 if they had any type of BIM 360 account. Now users will be prompted with every new Model Builder model to select either saving the model to their local system, or storing the model in a BIM 360 Document Management project. See To create a model with Model Builder
|Roadway Design
|· We've added the ability to control the color of individual cut and fill grading zones in a road design. A new material entry is now shown in the user interface, one for cut and one for fill.
· We've improved the Profile View panel so that the cross section viewer updates its display dynamically based on the location of the station tracker in the profile view.
|Surface Layers
|· We enhanced support for terrain surfaces by adding an opacity field in the Stack panel so that each terrain layer can be rendered as transparent according to opacity. See To add or modify surface layers
|Traffic Simulation
|· We are turning off the cloud based simulation service and will instead be hosting this service locally. From a user perspective, the Traffic Simulation capabilities will not change.
|· We've improved the functionality of the frame per second (FPS) rate counter in InfraWorks. Previously, when toggling on the FPS rate counter using its keyboard shortcut (CRTL + SHIFT + ALT + F), the current rate of frames per second were displayed. We've improved this functionality to instead calculate and report the current average frame rate. This improvement can help users to optimize model performance, especially when creating custom content libraries for use in InfraWorks. See Keyboard Shortcuts.
Fixed Issues
Autodesk InfraWorks (2020.0 – April 2019 release)
|Improved terrain interpolation of multiple raster data sources by filling holes of the top raster terrain layer in the combination area.
|Fixed an issue where InfraWorks would unexpectedly close in some cases after opening a model.
|Autodesk Connector for ArcGIS
|Fixed an issue where newly-added portals did not appear in the list of available portals.
|Fixed an issue where layer selection was not working as expected.
|Fixed an issue where InfraWorks would unexpectedly close after launching, signing-in, and then closing the Autodesk Connector for ArcGIS.
|Fixed an issue where the portal manager would not open after a user deleted an enterprise portal.
|Civil Structures
|Fixed an issue where tunnel segments were not rendering correctly.
|Fixed an issue where girder spacing on a bridge was incorrect if the road had a taper.
|Fixed an issue where a girder was too deep when the catalog dimension for the ACItem was null. To resolve this, if the ACItem has a null value, then 0.0/0/false/"" will now be used.
|Girders with plinths now fit with the deck for various lateral offsets
|Fixed an issue where creating a Shared View resulted in InfraWorks closing, if the InfraWorks model contained a 3D model style without associated textures.
|Data Import
|Fixed an issue in which terrain surfaces with certain custom coordinate systems were not supported.
|Fixed an issue in which IMX-based terrain surfaces could not be pasted into a model as a data source and would not display in canvas.
|Measurement Tools
|Improved the performance of the Terrain Statistics Tool when adding, removing, or clearing measurements.
|Road Design
|Fixed an issue in which InfraWorks did not warn users that dragging a road style onto a component road is not supported. With this fix, dragging a road style onto a component road will now display a "Do Not" symbol and the component road components will display in red when the cursor is over them.
|Fixed an issue where the component road sketch tool did not display the most recently-selected assembly style, if it was a user-defined component road assembly.
|Improved a performance issue that occurred when performing Sight Distance Analysis on a long road.
|Fixed an issue in which the feature theme up and down buttons were not working as expected.
|Fixed an issue in which textures could not be added to a new material style from your local system.
|Fixed a reported issue from customers who were experiencing flickering and inconsistent point cloud display.
|Added more supported options for point cloud terrain processing when using different window sizes and resolutions.
|Fixed an issue where the status bar did not display correct coordinate information related to mouse position all the time. In addition, the status bar now displays feature-specific information when needed.
|Fixed an issue where water areas and rivers did not disappear when surface opacity was set to 0.

Parametric Part Modeling in InfraWorks
One of the great abilities of Autodesk InfraWorks is the ability to build your own parametric parts for use in the software. I've been getting more requests for items, so I've decided to make a page on my website for these styles, downloadable for a fee. The first one released today is a parametric stair style, check it out!
I was recently asked how to model a truck dock quickly in InfraWorks. Well, there isn't a quick method that I know of without performing some grading in Civil 3D and passing the surface over to the model until now. With Parametric parts, we can create just about anything. Here's a truck dock added to IW with a Terrain Hole Coverage Area in about 5 mins… well, 8 minutes with recording and talking on the video 🙂

"I used Herban Myth Botanicals First-Aid Salve on my left hand after surgery and I felt that my healing time was half the time as that after my right hand surgery. Also, the scars are pretty much invisible. I love the fact that it rubs in so well and doesn't leave a greasy feeling. I just had some dermatology treatment on my face, and I can't wait to try it on my face to see how it heals."
-Sheril N.
"I have been using Herban Myth Botanicals Salve for years on everything from rough skin, bruises, cuts and scrapes, and burns. It always has healed me quickly. I also like the feel and smell of the salve. Recently I had some moles removed on my face and was horrified when I removed my bandages to see 6 stitches on my right cheek, and 2 across the bridge of my nose. The plastic surgeon gave me a few suggestion of scar creams to use. I started using a scar cream from the drug store and didn't notice much of a change in my skin redness or texture where the stitches were, even after over 2 weeks. Then I started using what I normally use on everything- the salve. Within one week it my scar were dramatically lighter and much smoother. Now, 2 weeks after using salve only my scar on my nose is 90% unnoticeable and the large one on my cheek is so much better. The salve just seems to heal everything way faster and I feel good knowing exactly whats going onto my skin.
I'm a client for life."
-Keri C.
"That salve was the best thing for me when I would get mango-sap burns! It sped up my healing process."
-Chris M.
"I have some of your salve, and it rocks my socks off! I think you sent it my way over a year ago, and it's so potent that I still have tons left…a little goes a long way! Love it for burns, cuts, etc. So dang good!!!"
-Kate M.
"I use it on my horses face. He was so bit up from flies that he was super grouchy. It has helped heal his bites and keeps the flies away. In turn, he no longer tries to bite me!"
-Chelsea P.
"I use it for all kinds of skin owies, bug bites, plant rashes, cuts, scrapes, bruises, I use it on my dogs too. Mosquitos love me so I use it a lot. It provides relief immediately, as soon as I put it on it stops the itching. I can't be with out it, so I have one at work, home and purse! A little goes a long way so it lasts too."
-Charlotte W.
"Herban Myth Botanicals First-Aid Salve soothes and heals. I used it on a sore and bruised toe after hitting it hard on the leg of a piano bench. The salve felt wonderful on my skin!"

Foreign suspects held in Guantanamo Bay have the right to challenge their detention in US civilian courts, the US Supreme Court has ruled.
It overturned by five to four a ruling that upheld a 2006 law that took away the rights of suspects to seek full judicial review of their detention. It is not clear if the ruling will lead to prompt hearings for the detainees. Some 270 men are held at the US naval base, on suspicion of terrorism or links to al-Qaeda and the Taleban.
Time an injustice and violation of the human rights to end for good!

In this episode, we define what honors courses are and discuss how we can think about what's going to be best for students' success.
01:45 Desire for honors
01:55 How the way it's played out is counterproductive and works against equity
02:22 While the goal is to differentiate for students, what ends up happening is only certain students end up getting access to the kind of rigor and quality of curriculum that we would want for all students.
02:42 You'll see even in many elementary schools now, there's like an "accelerated" track… Starting earlier and earlier, we're separating kids out and saying some kids are in this high track of kids that are going to be really successful, and some kids are on this other track that are not college-bound, they're not going to be at the most selective colleges
03:19 This whole idea of tracks means that it's perpetuating gaps without meaning to perpetuate gaps by putting people in buckets too early.
04:05 It's way too easier to opt out of an honors class than to opt in.
06:00 Teachers' expectations of students are one of the most important indicators of how students will do in their classroom and how much growth they'll have.
06:31 Misunderstanding of what rigor is
07:28 Is there other research that shows that there needs to be a potential change in the way that we approach rigor, remediation, acceleration, that sort of stuff?
09:02 The Education Commission of the States
Study on teacher expectations and self-fulfilling prophecy
11:19 What do you think about getting rid of honors, just in this one grade, just to try it out?
12:34 Let's talk about how we can find a solution for this. What are some of the things that you thought about, that you see in the space that's being done?
15:04 How often does a student from a regular ed track opt-in to an AP-level course?
15:48 How we think about teaching and learning and assessment within schools
17:12 Takeaway for teachers: Reflect on what expectations they display for their students

Good Creative Writing ProgramsWell creative writing programs
How should a good creative writing programme work?
It was eighteen month ago that I was commissioned to develop a creative writing programme for Ringling College of Art + design, where I have been a teacher for eight years. With this new diploma it made good business sense to have it - from films to illustrations, computer animations and graphics designs, the history is at the centre of all the school's activities.
How should a good creative writing programme work? Having studied all the creative writing programs in existence (both college and university students) and done some self-reflection in the Swamistyle - plus Facebook-asking vast amounts of creative typists and recently graduating college graduates - here's what I think is it. "Writing is like a lonely sports.
He or she can build strong competitors, deep comradeship, and life-long relationships. What if you write your first check? Yeah, that's not how you're gonna get James Patterson as a tutor, but frankly - do you really want James Patterson as a tutor? I' d rather have a great mid-list writer who takes a true inventory of my writing and my work.
Somebody who recalls the darts and darts of the impudent night-time writing sittings. Fellowship + Monitors + Structure= Find out the trade of writing much earlier than you would do it alone. With no creative writing BA, BFA, MA, MFA or PhD after your name, you probably won't get a second look because the keen child with one of those grades of Vassar (who will likely intern there last summer) already got the job. Sure.
A HR individual is far less likely to loose his or her job if an academic accredited individual does not work out than if he or she is taking an aviator on a writer who never got any kind of higher learning grade. Matt Damon's nature in Good Will Hunting tells Harvard snobs that "you spent $150,000 on an apprenticeship that you could have gotten for $1.50 in the community archive.
" And if you are the kind of individual who is good at self-study and has the determination and energy to teach yourself, God is blessing you because you are something extraordinary and one-of-a-kind and you may not need a creative script. Perhaps Zeit + The Writer + YouTube + a barrel of read + practise, practise, practise = a great writing meteor.
And if not, try a creative writing finish. Over 550 collegiate and academic creative writing programs exist. These are the three decisive things I tell every budding creative schoolboy. Look at the school. Don't just go to a certain place because of the program's call. This is important, but what is just as important (maybe more) is the school.
Do you want to write like one or more of them? Are they getting writing and publication work? Do you have a celebrity website "Grads Done Good" that offers a lot of literary work that you would have liked to do yourself? This is a true token of a true caution ( "or, to be honest, a token of a super-new program").
