The Globe & Mail does its best to spin private tragedy for political points, painting a picture of a former reservist who has lost faith in the ISAF mission after his son's death. Padre John Briscall, acquaintance of David Snyder, unwittingly abets the Globe by saying something unwise to reporter Jessica Leeder:
Mr. Snyder, a former reservist and high-school English teacher, did not return The Globe's calls for comment yesterday. Close friends said the retiree was not antiwar or antimilitary, but he had deep reservations about Afghanistan.
"He would certainly be in favour of the military doing what it needs to do when that's appropriate," said Padre John Briscall, who knows Mr. Snyder through work with the local Royal Canadian Legion and spent much of Sunday consoling him. "He thinks our involvement in Afghanistan was unnecessary."
— Jessica Leeder, "'War is stupid. Everybody knows that'". Globe & Mail, June 10th, 2008.
Mr. Snyder may think that now, overwhelmed by grief and sorrow; it's only been three days since his son's death. I have a feeling that in more reflective moments, he may realise that there's at least 24 good reasons for Canadian soldiers to be involved. Our politicians didn't kill those 24 folks. Certain individuals who subscribed to a narrow and murderous ideology did. The necessity of extinguishing that ideology is, I am sure, something that the men and women of ISAF understand quite well.

*This post is taken from a paper I wrote for graduate school. I'm posting it because I'm interested in getting feedback from people who don't spend their life in a university library. I apologize for the length, but I don't have the time to make them shorter.
It is an unfortunate irony that the attempts to improve children's learning through major school reforms have often been stymied by the utter neglect and oversimplification of the unique and varied ways that teachers, as adults, learn best. The import of sustained teacher learning on student outcomes is clear both to any first year teacher comparing his or her students' behavior to the more experienced teacher's students next door as well as to economists looking at the effect of teacher experience—and time to learn from one's mistakes–on academic outcomes (Hanushek, 2003). It can even be evidenced in the rubrics of most successful new teacher…

The New York Times has a story about the potentially deleterious effects of teacher turnover.

I had the pleasure last night of meeting someone in the teachforus comments who was to my right on educational policy issues. The rarity of such an occasion speaks more to those who populate this website than to my own beliefs, which I would describe as disagreeably centrist.

As I've said a few times, the only people who I really consider enemies in the education debates are those who willfully distort or ignore data to reinforce prior held beliefs. Sadly, I'm beginning to realize that even with that narrow definition, my list of allies grows slimmer by the day. I often respect Mike…read more »
In an initial take on the data from the new common core assessments in New York, Gary Rubinstein does something very interesting: He compares 2012 results with 2013 results for charter and public schools. Why is this so interesting? The common core assessments are supposedly test higher-order thinking skills. Therefore, schools that won accolades for…read more »

We present measurements of the supercontinuum emission (SCE) from ultrashort Ti:Saph laser pulse filamentation in air in a tightly focused geometry. The spectral broadening of SCE indicates that peak intensities exceed the clamping value of a few 1013 W/cm2 obtained for filamentation in a loose focusing geometry by at least one order of magnitude. We provide an interpretation for this regime of filamenation without intensity clamping.

Supermarket / Japan 2
The seafood section in the Kushiro supermarket is overwhelming, as you might expect in a Japanese fishing village. Some of it was already packaged, some was just sitting there on ice waiting for you to grab it. The counters went on and on, as much space devoted to seafood as my neighborhood grocery gives to fish, meat and poultry combined.

Supermarket / Japan 1
I've just returned from a trip to Japan and Russia, and perhaps surprisingly, the highlights of the trip included visits to food markets. To my amazement, the supermarket in Kushiro, a small Japanese town on the remote northern island of Hokkaido was so well stocked that I could imagine myself happily subsisting there. Can't always say that about small towns in remote areas of the U.S.
I'll have a bunch of posts in subsequent days so I can show you everything I discovered.
Today: the produce section (don't you love the "vegetable" sign in English?)
In Japan food is always displayed artistically.
Melons with an elegant bit of stem still attached, protected in plastic foam nets, packed into beautiful cardboard boxes with a little brochure.
Green vegetables standing upright in perfect little bundles.
Blueberries from Oregon.

Hygiene overkill
I'm all for food service practices that keep things clean, but sometimes it can go too far.
At the hotel breakfast bar:
At the same breakfast bar, the woman in front of me unwrapped her cup, filled it with coffee, and reached for a plastic top off the (unprotected!!!!!) stack. She inadvertently picked two from the stack. Did she put one back? No, she threw it away.
This offended my sensibilities. Fortunately she did a bad job of throwing it away; it only made it as far as the countertop. I picked it up and used it on my cup.

Pastries on parade
At the Prague Patchwork Exhibit this spring I was surprised to find this pastry cart sitting on the sidewalk outside the convention hall, behind the kitchen. The pastries looked beautiful. Apparently the baker was not worried about birds flying over and expressing their disdain, nor that show visitors might grab a snack on their way to their workshops.

By the sea...
Home from a trip to the Carolina beach -- yes, just a mile or so from where two people got sharkbit a couple of weeks ago. Not only did we avoid being sharkbit ourselves, we got to eat some great fresh local seafood.

Imported from South Carolina
Our travels last week took us to South Carolina and to the fruit stand just down the road from my sister-in-law. And summer is in full swing -- a whole wagonload of watermelons (including some with seeds!)
We bought a melon, some tomatoes and a big bag of peaches. My SIL used to have a fruit farm business with 1,000 peach trees and knows what she's talking about: she likes the white peaches better than the yellow (she had only one left at home, and it was indeed fabulous) but there were no white ones when we stopped by the stand.
If you find yourself near Eutawville, which is possible if unlikely, you could do a lot worse than stop in at St. Julien Plantation.

Best college dining hall food ever
Our trip to England this spring included almost a week at Oxford University, hearing lectures on World War 1 from a bunch of academics. We stayed in a dorm that has been (barely) repurposed for adult learning conferences, and ate in the college dining hall.
Remember your college dining hall experiences? On a scale of 1 to 10, how was the food?
I am happy to report that ours came in somewhere between 9 and 10. Don't believe it? Look at some of these beautiful plates (and the food tasted as good as it looked).

I was able to stop by the battlefield on Sunday morning before heading back to Cincinnati to take a few more pics with the better half's camera. I especially like the picture running along the fence, which is a reproduction of the fenceline that Maney's brigade stopped along during their advance towards Terrill's position.

Spring Hike
|Joni House describes a bit about the park
Despite tornadic conditions the previous night, and the threat of thunderstorms, about a dozen hardy souls made the first history hike at Perryville. Hikers were introduced to Perryville by Joni House and park manager Kurt Holman, and the hike was joined by Chuck Lott, a local Perryville volunteer who's knowledge of the battle added greatly to the event.
Here are a few pictures. To be honest, I didn't take many simply because I forgot to pull out my camera very often. However, I did stop by the battlefield the next day and snapped more photos which I will post within a few days.

Random Thoughts/Updates
I was recently contacted by a Kee Rodgers, a Cleveland born decendant (now living in Lima, Peru) of Captain Ephraim Kee's grandfather (Company B) of the 105th Ohio, a regiment that played a large role in the Perryville battle. He has been kind enough to share with me a poem written by the captain that calls to arms those men who did not join the army in 1861, but were now needed to put down the bloody rebellion. I am hoping that he gives me permission to post the poem here. It is filled with that type of patriotic fervor that this country hasn't seen since World War II.
Captain Kee was a close friend of Albion Tourgee, who wrote "A Story of a Thousand", which is the regimental history of the 105th. Tourgee called Kee "the most intellectual life of the regiment", a pretty strong compliment considering Tourgee's own mental prowess. Captain Kee died at the age of 26 and his funeral was the largest in Trumbull County. He passed away in early 1863 of sickness at Murfreesboro.
This "connection" with Mr. Rodgers is one of the results I had hoped for from starting this blog. Bringing awareness to the Buckeye State's contribution to Perryville (let alone as a general awareness to this pivitol battle), sharing details on Buckeye participants, and honoring those men with an Ohio memorial or interpretive sign are just parts of what I hope this blog will become. Sharing information about individuals adds the human element, and makes the story of Perryville come to life. I try to share human interest stories about Perryville on this hiking tours I lead, and having more stories about those men like Captain Kee makes my "job" on those hikes that much easier.
Speaking of the hike, looks like we will be having a large group in attendance. There are 20+ folks coming from the Louisville hiking group, and I have received emails from various other folks in the general area asking about the hike and stating their intention to participate. The better half and I are heading down to central Kentucky tomorrow, spending time in Danville, seeing some sites and enjoying a few brews. Saturday she will be dropping me off at the battlefield and then she'll head to Shakertown to take pictures of spring flowers (I've bored her on my hiking tour previously - grin
) then pick me up in the afternoon. We'll take in some more of what Danville has to offer Saturday evening, and perhaps see Fort Harrod in Harrodsburg on the way home Sunday. I will be certain to share my thoughts about Danville (where to eat and enjoy beer) here on the blog so that others who plan trips to Perryville have an idea of what else is in the area to enjoy.
More posts coming soon (Perryville pics and other assorted tales).

Hiking Tour Just a Few Weeks Away!
This first tour will be a rehash of the tours I have given in the past for hiking groups. Ironically enough the tour I give is very similar to the one I attended during the Civil War Trust's annual conference and led by Ed Bearss. We will cover Cheatham's attack in decent detail, while touching on the Confererate pushes towards Loomis Heights. We will walk Tour Stops 1 through 22, which should give us about four miles of walking and three hours on the battlefield. Because my audience is made up of hikers and the general public, I will spend a bit of time going over Civil War tactics and the Perryville Campaign in general to give folks a base of knowledge as to why Perryville and Kentucky was so important. Ed Bearss mentioned that the Antietam and Perryville Campaigns were more significant than Vicksburg and Gettysburg in terms of the South being able to win the war. I tend to agree, but then again I am rather partial to both Perryville (close to home) and Antietam (pristine national park where Buckeyes played a large role).
Hike starts at 11:00 on Saturday, April 23rd. Meet at the Visitor's Center by 10:45. Bring sunscreen, a hat, water (at least two liters) and something to snack on. Sturdy shoes or boots are recommended.

If finding love "online" happens only for the lucky few, then Sara and Rory are definitely a couple who have luck on their side!
After dating mostly within their respective professions, Rory an attorney and Sara in the entertainment industry, friends encouraged them to step outside their "norms" and give the online world a try. Luckily they both listened. And when it came time for their wedding – it too needed to be extraordinary as well.
The Golden Lamb Buttery was chosen as their venue because it held that certain "country charm" they were looking for and it reflected the kind of community both were raised in and loved. In addition, they adored that the venue sources ingredients locally and uses produce from their own kitchen gardens. To boot, they worked together to bring great local vendors to the table. Cato Corner Farm and Meadow Stone Farm made the beautiful cheeses that became their wedding cake. Del's Lemonade, a childhood favorite of Sara's, was incorporated into one of their signature cocktails. And the couple's dear friend Larry Schafer, owner and winemaker of Tercero Wines did a special bottling for their wedding – a Californian wine in Larry's "Van der Miller Cuvée" red as well as a local winery Sharpe Hill's "Ballet of Angels" as the white. Rory also picked a few beers from local Connecticut brewery, Thomas Hooker Brewing Company. (continue at end)

And what would an extraordinary wedding be without a stunning array of flowers? Natalie of Lady Slipper Designs has been a family friend of Sara's for years and the two had so much fun working together to create the amazing designs. Did you see the fantastic leaf runner? Even better – many of the flowers used throughout the wedding were from Sara's own mother's garden. I mean, how special is that?
Now let's talk about the beautifully creative weekend's festivities maps that were drawn up by Sara's talented cousin Lisbet – a perfect example of "what-to-do" to help guests find things to do over a long holiday weekend. Lisbet also pulled double duty by singing 'Crazy Love' by Van Morrison for Sara and Rory's first dance.
I think talented for Lisbet might have been an understatement!
I must also mention the fun seed packet favors put together by Sara's mother and I love that Sara and Rory had their first dance out in grass with family and friends all about.
And last but definitely not least, let's not forget to mention the wonderful photography by Candace Jeffery Photography. Sara mentioned while planning the wedding she picked three things she most wanted people to feel on their wedding day – she wanted to make sure the day was warm, welcoming, and authentic. I'd say mission accomplished and then some!
Thanks for stopping by!

The Back Nine comes at you after a weekend of way too much time on the recliners in the Dooley Dome. Like I needed to watch every game, the 500, the Match Play and the Oscars on Sunday?
The Back Nine comes at you after a weekend of way too much time on the recliners in the Dooley Dome. Like I needed to watch every game, the 500, the Match Play and the Oscars on Sunday?
10. After Florida's win over Arkansas on Saturday night, I was going to write about how we will look back at Feb. 23 as the day the Gators won the 2013 SEC basketball championship. But I'm old enough to know better. Sure, the win coupled with Alabama's loss gave Florida a two-game lead with four to play and I still like UF's chances, but we all know that it's not over because of Florida's back-loaded schedule and the injuries to Billy Donovan's team. I don't like their chances tonight at Tennessee with only six proven players and the Vols red hot. Remember back in October when Donovan proclaimed Tennessee to be the team to beat in the league?
There was a reason for that. It does seem like we've been here before with Cuonzo Martin (like, oh, last year) when Tennessee is dismissed early and makes a strong run late for an NCAA Tournament berth. The Vols lost four games in a 12-day span in January that could have ruined their season. But they have clawed their way back onto the bubble. Tennessee may need to win out and win a game or two in Nashville at the SEC Tournament, but the Vols have a chance and that makes them even more dangerous tonight. Florida will have to defend and — here's a novel idea — make some free throws. The Gators rank 13th out of 14 teams in league games only in free-throw percentage. 11. If I had to bet (although gambling is illegal at Bushwood, sir), I'd have Florida, Missouri and Kentucky going to the NCAA Tournament when it's all said and done. I think one thing that is going to kill Ole Miss is its strength of schedule (145th) and I think Tennessee is one loss away from being eliminated. But we'll see. The league would love an upstart team like an LSU or Georgia to win the tournament and add another team to the mix. And there's always the chance Ole Miss or Tennessee or even Alabama could win out. But there is also the chance that all of the bubble teams could flop down the stretch and the league could end up with two teams. Remember the good old days? From 1999-2008, the SEC had six teams in the tournament eight times and five in the other two. Since then, the league is averaging four teams in the tournament. Hmm, the conference's NCAA issues have coincided with its dominance in college football. Any connection? At any rate, I'm not sure the league has had so many bad teams as it does this year (three of them have an RPI of 200 or worse). It's amazing to see how far Mississippi State has fallen. The Bulldogs have lost 11 straight games and the average margin of defeat during that stretch is 24.6 points per game. Yikes. 12. Now that I've bashed the league, let me say that Saturday was one of the most enjoyable days I've had watching regular-season basketball in a long time thanks to the SEC. The league played nine overtimes in four games. That's the first time since 1979 that four league games went to OT. The LSU-Alabama game would be all everyone was talking about Monday if it had been in the NCAA Tournament. It was high drama. 13. It was a lost weekend for the Florida baseball team. We knew this would be a team that struggled, especially early. But I don't think anyone thought it would be this bad. I've said this before, but I think college baseball coaches have it the toughest of any sport because they can lose players to the pro draft two ways. It all comes down to hitting on your classes. For example, in 2009, everyone showed up. Guys who I think will eventually be in the majors like Mike Zunino came to school and helped Florida go to three straight College World Series. But the combination of those guys all leaving a year early and the incoming class getting decimated by the pros has left Florida short on talent. That said, these young players will get better and Kevin O'Sullivan has the No. 1 recruiting class coming in next year. If it shows up. 14. Words I never thought I would say — "Hey, can you put the race on?" On Sunday, I had to wait an extra half-hour for Kelsey's volleyball practice and found a place with a TV so I could watch the finish of the Daytona 500. I'm not a NASCAR guy and that will likely be the last race I watch until next year, but I am annually fascinated by the sport's Super Bowl. The Danica Patrick presence made it even more watchable and Fox's ratings were up 30 percent from last year's mess. The cool thing about Sunday was we got to see two Super Bowls — the 500 and the Oscars. And count me among those who thought Seth MacFarlane was hilarious. If you hire the guy who created "Family Guy" and "Ted," you have to understand what you're getting. 15. Despite the bad weekend for the Gator baseball team, it was a really good weekend for Florida athletics. Special kudos go out to the men's swimming team for winning the SEC title and ending Auburn's long winning streak. And to women's tennis for its big win over Stanford. And to Amanda Butler's team for finding a way to win a close game. 16. My one trip to Indianapolis for the NFL Combine in 2010 was incredibly productive, but it won't bother me if it was my only trip there. Too much sitting around doing nothing. It is surprising how much more comfortable players are in the mass interview sessions than they were in college. They'll say anything, as we saw with LSU's Sam Montgomery. "You know, some weeks when we didn't have to play the harder teams, there were some times when effort was not needed," Montgomery said at the combine. "But when we had the big boys coming in, the Bamas or the South Carolinas, I grabbed close to those guys and went all out." Hmm. 17. The Tweet of the Week goes to Jeff Howe, who covers the New England Patriots for the Boston Herald — "Florida safety Matt Elam is a personable kid, loves being a versatile player who can play special teams and in the slot. Hello, Patriots." It's nice to see Elam let his personality come out. We saw it a bit in New Orleans, but for most of his Florida career he was pretty closed off. He runs his 40 today. By the way, Jordan Reed ran a 4.72 and Sharrif Floyd a 4.87. 18. I love my satellite radio, but my favorite channel — The Spectrum — plays way too much Talking Heads and U2. Anyway, try these downloads: "What Would I Do Without You" by Drew Holcomb and the Neighbors, "Upstarts" by Johnny Mann and a classic cut that I heard for the first time in 100 years Saturday "Hocus Pocus" by Focus.

text: Back in November, we took a look at the top 40 free agent batters on this year's free agent market. So far, the early months of baseball's hot stove period have provided us with much drama, however, there are still many intriguing names left out there to be had. As we enter 2014, lets take a look at who went where and who is still looking for a home.


text: Freezang 0 Posted July 3, 2018 Sorry in advance for length of this, but there is a lot of stuff to cover. Anyways, Back again for the 5th straight year of 96 Team NFL/Football Super Leagues. 5 years ago the $50 FFB Addicts started off as a 48 Team league and its grew to 96 in its 3rd year. Last year we end up running 3 different ones. (a 2nd $50 one and a $100 one) With 288 teams between the 3 leagues last year, and leaving some on the wait list, everyone seems to be jumping aboard. Let's try to keep it growing. This year we are going to do 4 leagues (maybe more depending if interest demands it). Please let me know if you would like to join. 1 of the 4 leagues is a superflex (2 QB optional league) Email me to join or to ask any questions - firstname.lastname@example.com Just let me know which league and draft time are good for you and we will get you signed up. All entries fees are collected using leaguesafe.com (We might be able to make arrangements using another payment method is leaguesafe doesn't work for you, just ask me. (I know they have some newer international restrictions) We do 8 leagues/divisions of 12 teams. All 8 leagues/divisions run completely separate and independently by themselves during the regular season. Please see more info to join below. Also, please check out this link https://tinyurl.com/openleagues with all of the other NFL, NHL and MLB leagues we have running. $30 NFL Survivor (200+ Teams), $75 NFL Pick 'Em (50+ Teams), MFL Weekly Lineup Challenge (100+ Teams), College Bowl Pick 'Em (50+ Teams), NHL Hockey Super League of 165+ Teams (http://puckhogslocal242.com), MLB/Baseball Super League of 120+ Teams, plus more survivors and pick 'ems in each sport. Plus we do many other single league leagues (10/12/14/16 team leagues), Dynasty &/or Redraft. Just let me know what you are interested in and see if I can find a match for you. Please take some time to visit www.Drafters.com - It's a daily fantasy site (DFS) that has launched within the last year, where you can draft your own team daily / weekly / for the playoffs. I recently met the owner of the site, he's offering quite the deal for new signups if you use the promo code - Freezang - when you sign up. Each new signup gets a free $10. Please also see the bottom about the Ballhogs concept. Continued...... As for the 96 team football leagues They are re-draft (single season only) leagues, that are PPR with Fractional scoring (0.1 point per rec. yard for example, compared to standard 1 point per 10 rec. yards) League settings from one of the divisions http://games.espn.com/ffl/leaguesetup/settings?leagueId=1410182 Snake Draft - in future years we may do one league as an auction draft (let me know if that would interest you) (draft times at bottom) In the regular season you play each person in your league once. Then the playoffs start in week 12. Playoffs are the top 32 teams overall There are also playoffs for the other teams that do not make the top 32. On the standings/playoff spreadsheet, I will try to make it update in real-time all week long, if not I will just carry on, doing it all manually. This past year in our baseball league, we configured the google spreadsheet to update the overall standings automatically every morning, so hopefully it will work for this too. Please navigate the tabs/pages on the links below to gather for more info to each league. Our regular roster settings $50 entry FFB Addicts - www.tinyurl.com/ffbaddicts - $4750 Prize Pool $100 entry FFB Junkies - www.tinyurl.com/ffbjunkies - $9500 Prize Pool $200 entry FFB Degenerates - www.tinyurl.com/ffbdegenerates - $19000 Prize Pool SUPERFLEX settings $80 entry FFB Fiends - www.tinyurl.com/ffbfiends - $7600 Prize Pool FYI - This past year, a vote passed to 'comp' the commish's entry fees Each league's draft order is randomized once all 12 teams in your league have paid. Based on demand, so the sooner you pay, you secure your spot. I have tried to keep everyone (all 8 leagues) drafting on the same day/time. But this year I have one weekend scheduled draft time for each separate super league, but still hope everyone stick to the main draft times below. (the weekend draft will help with some night shift workers, European residents, etc.) Hopefully this is the year that I will witness me stop getting off to 0-3 or 1-2 starts Entry $ Main Draft Time Weekend Draft Time FFB Addicts $50 Mon. September 3rd @ 9:30pm ET Sat. September 1st @ 1:00pm ET FFB Fiends $80 Wed. September 5th @ 8:00pm ET Sat. September 1st @ 4:00pm ET FFB Junkies $100 Tues. September 4th @ 9:30pm ET Sun. September 2nd @ 1:00pm ET FFB Degenerates $200 Wed. September 5th @ 9:30pm ET Sun. September 2nd @ 4:00pm ET NFL Ballhogs Me and a few guys have just started floating the idea of making an unlimited super league. Going past the 96 team model. Now it might not happen this year, or maybe not at all. Approximate entry $125. But let me know if this interests you (see link based on a 240 team model). https://tinyurl.com/nflballhogs If it generates enough interest, maybe that will give us enough reason to put in the work to accomplish it, but for sure all of the 96 team leagues will be a go. Works the same kind of way as the 96 team leagues do. It would be H2H for the year and there would be a divisional playoff only, but the bigger money would be an accumulation of 'POINTS FOR' for all teams involved.; between weeks 14 through 16.

What to Make with Leftover Rice
Chef Mike Isabella knows.
"Is this a Quick Fire Challenge?" Mike Isabella asks when I request tips on what to do with leftover rice.
The Top Chef alum feigns panic when asked to dream up dishes à la the show's competition format, he's actually quite prepared for this cooking prompt. After traveling throughout Spain and Morocco in preparation for Arroz, his upcoming Spanish restaurant set to debut in D.C. next year, Isabella certainly knows what to do with rice.
"When you think of Spanish cuisine, you think tapas," Isabella explains. "I wanted a single ingredient-fixed concept." At the new spot, he'll throw the grains into Valencia-style soups and paella.
Here, the star chef's tips on how to use leftover rice at home.
"Roll them up into fritters," Isabella says. He suggests seasoning the rice with fragrant saffron and adding a little spice in the form of piquillo peppers. Roll thos ingredients into the room-temperature grains, then lightly fry until crisp and golden in a few inches of neutral oil at 350 degrees. And if your deepest, darkest fear is deep-frying, you can always oven-fry—just follow this recipe.
Isabella swings central European with this tip. "I like to stuff rice into cabbage," he says. Mixed with meat, like pork, it lends a bit of lightness and bounce to sauced-up cabbage pillows like these.
Break down hard grains by cooking them down in a flavorful broth, the congee way. "It gets creamy from all the starch in the rice," Isabella says. He enjoys slipping fresh shellfish into the warmed soupy mix, but you can also throw in salmon.
