When Can Kids Ride in Front Seat of Car?
What You Need to Know Before Letting Your Child Ride in the Front Seat
Amy S.'s 6-year-old daughter, who rides in the back of the family car in a booster seat, recently started asking if she can sit up in the front of the car with Mom. Jessica B.'s son is also begging to ride in the front seat, especially when he sees his peers get out from the front seat of the car when he's dropped off at school. Diane B.'s 11-year-old pretends not to hear her requests to return to the back seat.
It's normal for kids to express an interest in riding in the front seat of the car in the years leading up to teen-hood. But with parents in online communities referring to the front seat of a car as a "suicide seat," "death trap," or "child killer," as a reader named Charlie P. reports, it's no wonder the first response of many moms is a resolute "no."
So when does it become reasonably safe to allow your child to ride up front?
1. "Not Until the Teen Years"
General reader wisdom says children should not ride in the front of the car until they are about 12 or 13 years old. As Kelly B. explains, "What people don't understand is the reasoning behind why kids shouldn't sit in the front seats. They just are not big enough [before 12 or 13]."
She goes on to break down why riding in the front seat isn't as safe as riding in the back seat. During a collision, a child in the front seat can be thrown into the dashboard or through the windshield:
"Even if he's properly buckled in, he's at much greater risk for being harmed by objects intruding into the car in the front than in the back. What's more, in cars with passenger air bags (which includes most newer models), the car's frontal air bags deploy with such force that they can cause severe head and neck injuries to a child," she shares.
Jeannett S. and Talisha B. agree that it's best to wait until the teen years to allow your child to move up front. That's most likely the time when your child will reach the height and weight needed to minimize injury from an exploding air bag in a crash. "Just like a roller coaster ride at an amusement park requires you to be 'At Least This Tall to Ride the Ride,' so should a child be to sit in the front seat," says Jeannett. And Talisha adds firmly, "Once a child outgrows a booster seat, he or she should continue riding in the back seat with a seat belt until around age 13."
Brandi C., a mom who works in medicine, confirms these rationales with an eyewitness account. As a medical worker, she reports, the hardest thing she ever saw was the aftermath of an accident involving a 7-year-old "who wanted to ride up front with daddy to the store" and who had indeed been riding in the front seat: "They were rear-ended, and because of the child's size, he slipped under the seatbelt and under the dash, [and] died instantly. Since then, I have always carried that with me, and have chosen that my son and stepkids will not sit in the front seat until they are teenagers."
Some passenger safety organizations, such as SafetyBeltSafe U.S.A., take concerns like Brandi's one step further and suggest children continue to ride in the back seat until they are ready to drive themselves.
2. When State Laws Say It's OK
Some states have specific child-restraint laws and laws that spell out the rules regarding children riding in the front seat, offers a member named Talisha. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has information about choosing the right seat for your child in the car.
The laws can be very specific about what age, height, and weight a child must be to sit in a front seat. For example, in Colorado, where Brandi C. lives, children have to be 5 feet tall and 11 years old before they can ride in the front seat, she reports. Because each state is different, moms need to familiarize themselves with their own state's requirements. A mom named Jennifer suggests asking a local police officer the appropriate age, height, and weight for safe front-seat riding.
3. When No Other Seats Are Available
State laws are typically accommodating, letting a child who normally would not be allowed to sit up front to sit next to the driver if there are not enough safe rear seats in the vehicle, such as in a pickup truck, Sherri C. says. She notes that she had to let her oldest start sitting up front at age 9, when she ran out of seating in the back of her car. "With four car seats [already] in the back, he didn't have a spot to fit in," she explains.
Lynn V. notes that she would have had to let one of her three children ride in front when she owned a Plymouth Breeze. However, because she felt it was unsafe, she instead bought a Ford Expedition that had more rear seating available.
4. When Air Bags Are Turned Off
If you do place your child in the front seat, Kelly B. suggests checking to see whether your car's air bag has an on-off switch or taking your vehicle to the car dealership so that it can be disabled, and Brandy S. provides more details:
"Most two-seat cars and pickup trucks sold these days either have a switch that allows you to manually turn off the air bag, or they have 'smart' air bags that detect the weight of the body in the passenger seat and will automatically turn it off if the body does not weigh more than a certain amount. In certain scenarios, you may be able to take your vehicle to the dealership and have them deactivate the air bag if your vehicle does not offer other air bag-off options for placing a child in the passenger seat."
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration maintains a list of companies that install airbag on-off switches, Kelly adds, although she says parents need to get permission from that government organization before installing such a switch. And "if your passengers have all moved out of the car-seat phase, your biggest or tallest passenger should ride in the front seat, and [you should] move his seat as far back from the dashboard as possible," Kelly says.
Once the air bag is disabled, Charlie P. feels that the front seat is a "safe and practical place for a rear facing child" in a car seat, because, among other reasons, the front of the vehicle and dashboard are the strongest points in the car and research shows that parents are less distracted when their child is in the front vs. rear seat. "Safety conscious brands such as Volvo also state very clearly that front seat is just as safe as the rear seat for car seats," this member notes.
Safety First
Whatever your circumstances, the most important consideration, say many moms, is safety: if you're not comfortable with the idea of moving your child up front, don't cave in. A member named Kelly suggests buying some time by getting a high-back booster seat and installing it in the center of the back seat so that your child can more easily see and talk to you without having to sit next to you. As RenaFaye N. reminds, your most important consideration should be safety: "A child's safety is more important than what she thinks she wants."

What does "Don't shoot yourself in the foot" mean?
Unfortunately, most salary decisions are based on perceived performance, not on actual performance. Don't shoot yourself in the foot.
Stack Exchange network consists of 176 Q&A communities including Stack Overflow, the largest, most trusted online community for developers to learn, share their knowledge, and build their careers.Visit Stack Exchange
What does "Don't shoot yourself in the foot" mean?
Unfortunately, most salary decisions are based on perceived performance, not on actual performance. Don't shoot yourself in the foot.
This question is too basic; it can be definitively and permanently answered by a single link to a standard internet reference source designed specifically to find that type of information. If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
Someone who is saying this to you is telling you, "don't be a fool here or you will come to grief."
To shoot yourself in the foot alludes to making a gaffe that hurts you. A firearm should be used for protection, or hunting, but a gun can occasionally misfire, and the armed person will shoot themselves in the foot.
NOAD words it like this, under its entry for shoot:
shoot oneself in the foot informal inadvertently make a situation worse for oneself.
Now, to your workplace. Someone (presumably a supervisor or co-worker) has said:
Unfortunately, most salary decisions are based on perceived performance, not on actual performance.
This means that those who get raises and bonuses at your company are not always the ones who do the best work. Instead, the employees who appear to be doing the best work (or the most work) are the ones who get recognized.
Here's an example of how this could be used: Say you're working on a project, and you end up staying late, way past quitting time. The next day, you figure, "I stayed four hours late last night; I can come in an hour late this morning." However, no one was there to see you work four hours past quitting time, yet everyone is there to observe you coming in one hour late! The boss takes notice, and thinks, "That employee is not reliable; I'm going to remember that." You have shot yourself in the foot, you've inadvertantly made things worse by failing to keep up appearences in an environment that recognizes you based on superficial observations.
Without more context I would interpret this as "Appearances are more convincing than actual work, so do what you can to convince your superiors that your performance is good". The last sentence "Don't shoot yourself in the foot" sounds like advice to someone who isn't very willing to promote his work or performance and expects to be judged by sheer ability, which isn't the case here.
As far as I know, "shooting yourself in the foot" is using a would-be helpful tool incorrectly or without knowledge. As a result, you do more harm than good.
This phrase is frequently used in IT environment.
This is equivalent to don't chop off the branch you are sitting on.
Don't do anything to hurt yourself, don't be your own worst enemy, don't act against your own interest, etc.
Don't make a career limiting move.
I've come across "shot in foot" to mean, "gave too detailed an answer which revealed their ignorance" in the context of exam marking.
For example:
Why do apples fall to Earth?
Answer "gravity" - correct, 1 mark
Answer "gravity causes the apple to move itself closer to the Earth" - incorrect, showed they have the wrong idea about gravity, no mark.
So in the context of your example, going to your boss and giving too much information - "Unfortunately we lost money because I am a poor salesman" instead of just "Unfortunately we lost money" - even though that would help him run the business better - would harm yourself.

Get directions to Wabash College Chapel
The Music Department at Wabash College invites the public to the seventh annual Roger H. Ide Organ Recital on Sunday afternoon, January 30 at 3:00 p.m. in the Wabash College Chapel. This year's recital will be played by Gerre and Judith Hancock.
Gerre and Judith Hancock have lived and worked together under the same roof for so many years, it is only natural that they should enjoy playing duo recitals together. Their programs are a mix of solo pieces by each artist, duets, and an improvisation by Gerre Hancock.
The program will include La Nativité du Seigneur by Olivier Messiaen; two Chorale Preludes on In dulci jubilo by Johann Sebastian Bach; Duet for Organ by Samuel Wesley; Variations sur un Noel pour Orgue, Opus 20 by Marcel Dupre; Sonata in D minor, Opus 30 by Gustav Adolf Merkel; Two Sonatas for Two Keyboards by Bernardo Pasquini; Bring a Torch, Jeanette Isabella ; and Improvisation on Submitted Themes: A Prelude and Fugue.
Gerre Hancock is a member of the faculty of the School of Music at the University of Texas at Austin. Prior to this appointment, he was Organist and Master of the Choristers at St. Thomas Church in New York City. He has served on the faculty of The Juilliard School and taught improvisation on a visiting basis at the Institute of Sacred Music at Yale University and The Eastman School of Music. Famous for his choral conducting, his fine compositions for choir and organ, and his witty, musical and electrifying improvisations, he is one of America's most popular concert organists. His educational background included the University of Texas, Union Theological Seminary in New York City and study in Paris. He has been awarded the Doctor of Music degree by Nashotah House Seminary and by the University of the South, and the doctor of Divinity degree by the General Theological Seminary in New York.
It was at Union Seminary that he met his wife, who had come to New York after graduating from Syracuse University, where she studied with the renowned Arthur Poister. Judith Hancock is a member of the Faculty of the School of Music at the University of Texas at Austin, where with her husband, she teaches sacred music. Several years ago, Ms. Hancock established an on-going series of organ recitals at St. Thomas in New York, performing several times during each season. Recent series have included music for trumpet and organ, Two Organists at One Keyboard (performed with Gerre Hancock), The Great German Tradition, and The Great French Tradition. In 2004 she was awarded the degree Doctor of Sacred Music (Honoris causa) from St. Dunstan's College of Sacred Music, Providence, Rhode Island
Both Hancocks appear on CDs produced by Decca/Argo, Koch International, Priory Records and Gothic Records.
The concert is free and open to the public.

One surprising benefit of being car free has been the reduction of choice in our lives. This might seem counter intuitive in a world in which more choices are assumed to make us happier. But making choices takes a lot of time and energy. If we hadn't been restricted geographically, we would have felt obliged to research 15 possible daycare centers; instead, we considered just the three that were walking distance from our home. That was a significant savings of time and effort, and it was a surprising relief not to feel obligated to provide our child with the absolute "best" of everything. We can easily provide her with "very good" using only resources that are close by.But of course giving up choice is not always easy and it doesn't automatically make you happier. We have given up some things that were important to us in order to live without a car. For us, the most important thing we gave up was membership in a great religious community, which was located in Newton and not very accessible by public transportation. Before we had a child, we were able to manage membership, both due to the generosity of other members who lived in our neighborhood and offered us rides, and by using our Zipcar. However, once we added our daughter to the mix, it became prohibitive to carpool while getting a car seat in and out, and difficult to fit a 45 minute drive on both sides of an activity without messing up hard-won nap schedules. Any trip to our synagogue left us exhausted.
Though we were sad to leave our old synagogue, committing ourselves to being car free forced us to find the Jewish community in Cambridge and Somerville, which has many offerings that we hadn't even known about. We found and became members of Havurat Shalom, which is within walking distance of our home. Joining this community has come a host of unexpected benefits: we no longer drive on Shabbat, we have good friends within walking distance of our house, and we have convenient playmates for our daughter whose parents share our values.

Here are the Number One pages I created for our "I Can" series. On the first page, kids can rainbow write the letter, stamp the letter and create a little craft (there's a little rhyme that goes along with it). There is also a little "Number 1" book……similar to my "Little Letter Books" but I made this one to staple right onto the page.
On the second page, kids can trace the number, the word, color one picture and draw one picture. If you'd like a copy, click on the picture above.
Over the weekend, I posted "My Printables" page…..I hope you didn't miss it but I posted all 26 of the "Little Letter" books……..
We've had a rather busy week with two new kids enter out home and another two make rather dramatic exits…..it's been tough! I'm definite;y looking forward to this weekend (we're off AND it's our anniversary!!!!)!

America Reads and Counts at NYU is the largest America Reads and Counts program in the nation.
America Reads, a national campaign started in 1997, challenges every American to help our children learn to read well and independently. Building on the success of America Reads, America Counts was initiated in 1999 to improve young students' achievements in mathematics.
NYU's America Reads program began in 1997 with 600 tutors in 43 schools in New York City School Districts 1 and 2.
Currently, we place approximately 800 tutors in 74 city schools in Districts 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 13, 15, 22, and 23. These NYU undergraduate and graduate students provide close to 10,000 hours per week of academic assistance to students in Kindergarten to the 6th grade — at no cost to the participating schools.

Long before he was being hailed by President Obama as the right man to protect American consumers from the predatory behavior of financial institutions, Richard Cordray was running for attorney general in Ohio.
He won, of course, and went on to successfully sue win billions from AIG, Bank of American and other banks.
But when he was that candidate in 1998, he wrote an op-ed on the class action lawsuits against tobacco companies and Microsoft (full text below).
Cordray's analysis of each case demonstrates the detailed, pragmatic and tactically lucid approach he's been praised for.
The crux of his argument: when Ohio had a chance to win billions from tobacco companies, it stalled and only joined after public outcry, unnecessarily delaying recovery of the settlement funds; in the Microsoft case, Ohio jumped in quickly, even though the case promised to be expensive to litigate and offer little in return to taxpayers.
Cordrays' logic almost sounds like it was co-authored by the former editor of the Harvard Law Review who appointed him.
Applied to his current role and you can extrapolate that Cordray will go after banks aggressively when the danger or wrongdoing is clear and there is a clear path to prevent harm, win big damages or force a significant settlement. If he can't do just that, expect his to calmly lay out why, with the context being what it is, the costs outweigh any potential gains.
That kind of rhetoric would fit in pretty well with the current inhabitant of West Wing too.
Full text of then candidate for Ohio Attorney General Richard Cordray's op-ed in the Cleveland Plain Dealer (June 17, 1998):
"In the last year, Ohio has made some questionable decisions about joining national lawsuits. For example, Ohio's in the back of the line of states suing the tobacco industry, but in the front of the line of states suing Microsoft. These policies do not represent the public interest or match the desires of Ohio citizens. We need a new approach that will lead to smarter decisions about how we spend our precious taxpayer dollars.
A few years ago, Mississippi came up with a brilliant idea. Mike Moore, the state's attorney general, decided to sue the tobacco industry to recover the money the state had spent to pay for medical care for people with smoking-related illnesses. This concept immediately caught on around the country, and a number of states - including Florida, Texas and Minnesota - quickly filed their own suits.
Ohio took no action. By early last year, 19 states already had filed suit, and Ohio Attorney General Betty Montgomery was expected finally to join the suit as well.
Instead, Montgomery announced that Ohio would not be taking part in the fight against tobacco, explaining that suing the tobacco companies was "not a priority" for her office. After a public outcry, and after six more states got ahead of Ohio in line, Montgomery reversed herself and finally filed a lawsuit after several more months had passed.
Because of this delay, Ohio is still a long way away from having its case go to trial. Ohio stands 26th in line, and the painstaking judicial system is only up to the fifth lawsuit.
Meanwhile, the states that acted quickly already have recovered billions of dollars in settlements with the tobacco industry, money that can be used to increase spending on education, improve the enforcement of environmental laws, fund efforts to decrease teen smoking or allow states to reduce taxes. For example, Texas has settled for more than $15 billion and Florida has settled for more than $11 billion.
Just a few weeks ago, Minnesota - a state with a much smaller population than Ohio - received almost $7 billion in a settlement with the tobacco industry. But Ohio has received absolutely nothing.
And these settlements provide for more than just cash payments. Because Florida's leaders did the right thing, they have put an end to billboards advertising cigarettes to impressionable kids. And thanks to Minnesota, the tobacco industry has agreed to close its national research foundation, which for years sought to document that smoking is not harmful to people's health.
Ohio's citizens need to question why their leaders were so slow to join the fight to stop smoking. But they also need to question why their leaders were so quick to join the fight against Microsoft. After all, Microsoft products have greatly increased American productivity, and they do not cause cancer. The federal Department of Justice has hundreds of lawyers who study the economy to find potential antitrust violations and protect consumers. These attorneys do an excellent job and are among the most talented lawyers in the nation.
There is nothing for Ohio to gain from pursuing Microsoft. After all, Attorney General Montgomery openly admits that Ohio will not receive any money from this effort. So once the federal government decided to sue Microsoft, antitrust experts like the University of Cincinnati's Christo Lassiter have said that Ohio's participation is totally unnecessary.
So why sue Microsoft? And why wait so long to sue the tobacco companies? Those are questions that only the Attorney General can answer. But they need to be asked, since Ohio taxpayers are going to spend up to $100,000 to sue Microsoft and potentially have lost billions of dollars due to the prolonged delay in suing the tobacco companies.
My proposal is that Ohio should involve itself in national lawsuits only when the state can either (a) recover money for taxpayers, or (b) vindicate a moral principle that may otherwise go unaddressed. The tobacco lawsuit does both: It brings in money for the state, if filed early enough, and it helps advance the fight to discourage and reduce teen smoking. Ohio's participation in the Microsoft lawsuit does neither: The state cannot recover a penny, and Ohio's involvement will not change Microsoft's business (should it even need changing) in any way.
Memo: Cordray is a law professor at Ohio State University and the Democratic candidate for attorney general."

The Weekend My Husband Got Sick

Most sensitive experiment yet determines that earlier findings were artifacts
Courtesy of Matt Kapust/Sanford Underground Research Facility
The elusive substance that makes up more than a quarter of the universe is now even more of a mystery. A supersensitive search for dark matter has come up empty, researchers announced in an October 30 press conference, casting serious doubt on the findings of experiments that have claimed detections or hints of dark matter particles.
Dark matter is the ultimate tease: Scientists know it permeates the universe because of its gravitational influence on distant galaxies, but they can't see it and don't know what it's made of. Theoretical physicists have proposed that dark matter could come in the form of weakly interacting massive particles, or WIMPs, and predicted how those particles might behave. Scientists around the world have built giant underground experiments, shielded by soil and rock from the bombardment of other particles, to try to detect WIMPs.

How To Solve Shock Absorber Clearance Issues With Some Good, Old-Fashioned Hot Rod Ingenuity
With all the components and systems that have to be squeezed under a car during the build process, it's no wonder many of them want to occupy the same space, sometimes turning what is supposed to be a hobby for most into a hair-pulling packaging nightmare. Careful planning and building in a sequence can eradicate most of these problems. For instance, in the case we are going to examine, mounting shock absorbers before fabricating the exhaust system would have been the answer. But this was a finished car, brought into Circle City Hot Rods for an upgrade in the shock department, so planning for clearance issues wasn't an option here.
A very nice, on-the-road '36 Ford three-window equipped with a Durant Enterprises monoleaf spring, its owner wanted to upgrade from the stock lever arm friction shocks to tube type. With an early aftermarket conversion kit already in his possession, this should have been as simple as bolting the new shocks in place, but clearance issues with the exhaust system meant the shocks could not be fitted where the kit was designed to place them-inside the chassis 'rails.
After some head-scratching and spending some time studying the underside of the coupe, Circle City's Jimmy White came up with a solution that involved mounting the lower shock mount on the spring shackle, and fabricating an upper mount that would bolt to the outer chassis 'rail, allowing plenty of clearance between the shock and the inner tire sidewall. Incidentally, if you're experiencing similar clearance issues, CCHR is about to start offering these upper and lower mounts for sale, part of an upcoming product line from the company. Contact Circle City Hot Rods for more details.

The Winder-Barrow High School baseball team had the opportunity to face some top competition Saturday in a preseason scrimmage.
The Diamond Doggs faced Grayson, the No. 1-ranked team in Class AAAAAA, as the 2013 season approaches. While WBHS fell 13-5, coach Brian Smith said the scrimmage was beneficial for the team.
"We threw a different pitcher each inning," Smith said. "We got to see some good things out of some players who are trying to prove themselves. Grayson is a pretty good team. It was a good challenge for us. I want us to see as much good competition as we can before region begins."
WBHS will begin the new season Wednesday (today) against Dacula at home at 5:30 p.m. The team will also travel to Lakeside Friday for a 6:30 p.m. contest.

The mix of people present at Davos always offers great potential for doing good, says the ex-Genesis frontman. (See our Davos page)
There are two things about the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum in Davos that inspire musician Peter Gabriel: the ideas and the opportunities to make the world better.
Former Genesis frontman Peter Gabriel is co-founder of two important non-governmental organizations. In 1992 he started WITNESS, which trains local groups worldwide to use video and the Internet in human rights advocacy work. Also in the 1990s, he co-founded "The Elders", with entrepreneur Richard Branson and Nelson Mandela. The Elders is dedicated to solving global conflicts and includes members such as former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan, former US President Jimmy Carter and Archbishop Desmond Tutu, among others.

History has a way of repeating itself, or so one might think after reviewing an amendment to new farm legislation presented by U.S. Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa), a member of the House Farm Bill Conference Committee.
The amendment paves the way for the federal government to do away with individual state (agricultural) laws that protect consumers, animals and agricultural workers, and would provide federal regulators the authority to change any state law regarding agriculture as it deems fit to change.
Opponents to the amendment charge that the last time such federally-imposed rules were adopted by Congress it created a riff between those supporting federalist ideals and those who argued for the protection of states' rights, eventually leading to a major conflict between states that divided the nation and ended in a conflict that forever scarred the history of a nation.
The amendment, supported by some, has drawn sharp criticism by a growing number of other groups and individual lawmakers. At best, the amendment, if adopted, degrades the ability of state leaders to make agricultural rules and guidelines without federal approval, and many are charging it violates the Tenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution that protects states' sovereign rights.
King, a member and supporter of the Tea Party, argues the amendment is needed to counter what he terms liberal-supported California legislation set to go into effect in 2015 that requires eggs sold in that state must come from farms that provide laying hens ample room to stand and stretch their wings, a measure initiated by pro-animal welfare supporters.
If you are enjoying reading this article, please check out Southwest Farm Press Daily and receive the latest news right to your inbox.
But opponents point out that the amendment would also reverse state laws such as a rule requiring that only healthy cattle be shipped to a ranch, and state laws that require hay be free of foreign weed seeds before being delivered to customers inside the state. For Texas, even a state law that prohibits the slaughtering of horses would be subject to federal review and could be overturned, as well as an animal rights law that imposes rules for the protection of animals at puppy mills.
Also in Texas, laws that regulate wastewater permitting for concentrated animal feeding operations could be ruled invalid and in their place federal laws could be imposed and regulated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
The amendment has drawn fire from a growing number of opponents. Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack said the amendment could generate "multiple challenges because it would exempt out-of-state producers from meeting varying regulations of individual states where the products would be sold." Vilsack called the amendment "poorly drafted." He made the comments at the American Farm Bureau Federation's 95th Annual Convention in San Antonio last week.
Other objections to the amendment include opposition to provisions that would invalidate state and local animal protection laws concerning animal welfare; state food safety regulations, including labeling requirements; the prohibition of importing firewood infested by pests into the state, and the ability of the Texas Animal Health Commission to test incoming livestock for brucellosis and tuberculosis at state border inspection stations.
A coalition of more than 80 groups representing consumer, environmental and animal protection, sustainable agriculture and other interests oppose the amendment. That includes groups such as the National Conference of State Legislators, Association of County Executives, the National Sheriffs' Association and the Consumer Federation of America.
Even in King's home state of Iowa the amendment is drawing fire. The Des Moines Register newspaper and the Iowa Farmers Union have both stated their opposition to the amendment.
So far more than 180 members of Congress have expressed their opposition to the amendment. But it is up to the conference committee whether the amendment will move forward to both houses of Congress as part of the final farm bill.
Opponents to the amendment are urging farmers, ranchers and others with an interest in states' rights to contact their representatives and voice their opinion.

Outlook: So the farm bill finally passes – then what?

The ASP.NET MVC framework is an emerging approach to building ASP.NET applications. Clearly inspired by Castle MonoRail, the ASP.NET MVC framework is based on an extremely popular Web adaptation of the Model-View-Controller pattern -- the Model2 pattern. Microsoft likes to contrast the ASP.NET MVC framework to Web forms by calling them cars and motorcycles. It's a nice analogy. Both cars and motorcycles can take you somewhere else, but with different speed and comfort. Classic ASP.NET is the more comfortable car; the MVC framework is the motorcycle, which is cheaper and hardly gets stuck in traffic jam.
Classic ASP.NET is based on the Page Controller pattern -- an object receives the HTTP request for a given page and handles it. When done, the page controller does something that updates the view. As mentioned, the ASP.NET MVC framework is based on a variation of MVC and takes a more direct route to executing operations. Let's see.
On top of the MVC framework there's a sort of front controller -- the ASP.NET routing subsystem. This component intercepts any HTTP request directed at the site. It parses the URL trying to match it to a list of patterns the developer provided. The typical URL pattern is as follows:
controller, action, and id indicate tokens in the URL that do not point to a physical resource on the server, but rather communicate to the routing system what to do. In global.asax you have the following code to register supported URL patterns:
protected void Application_Start() { RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes); } public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes) { routes.MapRoute("Default", "{controller}/{action}/{id}", new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = "" }); }
Each map route has a name, a pattern, and some default values. The routing system contains some (replaceable) logic to map the request to a route handler. The route handler is ultimately responsible for the action. The default route handler is invisible to developers and the first thing it does is extracting the {controller} and {action} tokens from the URL. If {controller} matches a class in the Web application, the handler instantiates the controller and invokes on it a method that corresponds to the {action} token.
As a developer, you organize your site as a collection of controller classes and related views. All the possible actions that the user of a Web site can accomplish are mapped as action on controller classes. Each action is mapped to a route. The routing system and its route handler companion class coordinate operations.
What's a controller? Quite simply, it is a public class that inherits from the base Controller class and follows a naming convention -- the string in the {controller} token trailed by Controller. Here's a quick example:
public class HomeController : Controller { public ActionResult Index() { ViewData["Title"] = "Home Page"; ViewData["Message"] = "Welcome to ASP.NET MVC!"; return View(); } }
The controller indicates the action to execute. What about the user interface? The controller is also responsible for instructing the view object to produce HTML. The view object produces HTML based on an ASPX page living under the Views folder. The ASPX page has a code-behind class but usually does all of its work through markup and ASP-style code blocks. In ASP.NET MVC framework the view is an extremely thin object:

<%= Html.Encode(ViewData["Message"]) %>

Communication between controller and view occurs through a container -- the ViewData object.
With the ASP.NET MVC framework, applications go through a simpler runtime environment, but any action has to be expressed in terms of neat action. Not ideal for any website, but just great where it works.

I am not normally a fan of Waterloo Road, but suddenly they have done something extraordinary with their latest episode dealing with the situation faced by Martin, a young trans-girl at the school. Their handling was exemplary, dealing with the pain and the frustration of the situations we have faced, and continue to face.
Martin in a spiral of agony and being harangued by her fellow students for a misunderstanding outed herself as trans, before running off. The different members of the school dealt with the fallout in different ways, one girl suffering her own difficulties goes and offers comfort and counsel, while teachers try to understand the situation. Some students are sadly cruel, but as also happens, other students stand up for Martin.
The handling of the mother was also perhaps accelerated, but also well done, where she realizes that she could have a dead son, or a living daughter and admits its going to be difficult but will try her best.
Hopefully over the following weeks we'll find out as Martin begins to come out and find herself. Stories help young trans youth come to terms with themselves and helps parents, family and friends understand the complexities and reality of the situation. Hopefully the next generation of transgirls and boys wont have to face the initial ignorance of their parents that Martin's mother initially shows.
I'm hoping that shows in the US will pick up and start showing these story lines as well.
Those in the UK can watch the episode on BBC iPlayer. Non UK readers should see here for information.
NB: I realize some people may be confused about the syntax of calling her Martin, until she chooses her name within the show, thats the name she is known by. It is rather regressive to consider that a girl can't be called Martin.

National Forest Programme
National forest programme (NFP)
Almost two decades ago, the Intergovernmental Panel on Forests (IPF) provided a setting for countries to debate and formally recognize the importance of a comprehensive forest policy framework for achieving sustainable forest management (SFM). Through the IFP, which was in operation from 1995–1997, countries agreed on a common approach known as national forest programmes (NFPs), and adopted a set of principles designed to guide NFP development and implementation. Today, NFP processes are under way in more than 130 countries.
The term "national forest programme" does not refer to one specific programme. It actually incorporates a wide range of approaches that can contribute to the formulation, planning and implementation of forest policy at national and subnational levels. As one of the most important outcomes of international forest policy dialogue, this means that NFP is applicable to all countries and to all types of forests.
The NFP is a country-specific process that provides a framework and guidance for:
[1] United Nations General Assembly Resolution A/RES/62/98 2007 on a "Non-legally binding instrument on all types of forests"
[2] United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) decision on reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation; and the role of conservation, sustainable management of forests and enhancement of forest carbon stocks in developing countries (REDD+).[3] Forest Law Enforcement, Governance and Trade

Academics at Prescott College
Area of Study:
Resident Bachelor of Arts with Teacher Certification
In the Resident Undergraduate Program, Prescott College offers Bachelor of Arts Degrees in Secondary Education and Elementary Education. Students live and study in Prescott and benefit from local K-12 partnerships.
Requirements for a teaching credential can be earned concurrently while earning a Bachelor of Arts degree. Students master educational principles and apply these in many problem-solving situations during courses, through independent studies, and in a 12-week student teaching assignment. Elementary school educators pursue a broadly based liberal arts education, including solid preparation in math, language arts, science, and social studies. Secondary school educators will have significant course work in a subject area typically taught in a public high school.
Academic ElementsAcademic Elements
Each fall and spring, new Prescott College students find themselves in "the classroom," the breathtaking, sometimes raw, always diverse terrains and environments of the Southwest. New Prescott students are introduced to the natural environment of the Southwest, learn about themselves and each other, and experience the educational philosophies of Prescott College during Orientation, thus beginning the journey of developing relationships with their new home, community, and academic career.
For most students, Orientation will mean a three-week Desert, Mountain and Canyon Expedition (aka Wilderness Orientation). Students, as a small community of engaged learners, will be backpacking throughout ecologically diverse locations in Arizona. Studying - Connecting - Growing. Other students will participate in a Base Camp Orientation, or Community-Based Orientation.
Follow this link for detailed information on these Orientation options: Orientation Details
First Year Experience
In their first semester, freshmen will enroll in courses addressing the concerns and challenges of being a college student. First Year Students will choose from an array of immersive semester courses - like Water in the West, Art and Ecology, Foundations of Leadership, and Introduction to Psychology and Yoga - which continue to build community, forge relationships with faculty advisors, and develop academic inquiry.
In their first semester at Prescott College, transfer students participate in Crises of the 21st Century: Research Methods & Theories. Students from environmental and social disciplines, the arts, and humanities will be introduced to theoretical and research approaches that foster ways of integrating their questions through class discussions and personal research. Students enrolled in this course will be given individual support in creating a degree plan organizing courses they are transferring with into a pathway for graduation in their chosen fields.
Degree Plan
During the first semester of their junior year, students create a degree plan, with the assistance of their faculty adviser, which sketches the academic map of their journey. It includes an overview of courses and credits earned; brief descriptions of competence, breadth, and liberal arts areas; lists of courses completed and those to be completed; a tentative Senior Project plan and description; and additional honors or experience that contribute to competence or breadth. The Degree Plan is a living document that continues to evolve throughout the student's final three terms.
Senior Project
Prescott College requires every student, not just designated "honors" students, to design and carry out an ambitious Senior Project. This Project functions as both a demonstration of competence and a culmination of the undergraduate experience. It may take the form of an ambitious research project, a collection of original creative writing, a curriculum plan and implementation, a studio art exhibition, a performance, a case or field study, or a challenging internship. Another way of thinking about the Senior Project is as a bridge between a student's undergraduate career and work after graduation. The Senior Project stands as a calling card that proclaims to graduate schools, prospective employers, and the world, "Look, this is what I'm capable of doing."

How did we get screwed? Explain? You'd rather have Dun & Murph (and their contracts) over Jacks & Harring (and their contracts)? I don't know about you, but I say f-ck no!
I wouldn't say Harrington's a sissy either. He's way more physicial than Dun and Murph combined! Plus Harrington has a great game every two or three games. Dunleavy & Murphy had a great game every 10 games or so when they were on our team this season.
You'd rather have Dun & Murphy for more money and more years than Jacks and Harring? Are you crazy!? At least Jacks and Harring are physicial!
Just to add... off topic... We are losing games right now as a team and not individually. I can tell they all like to play together it's just wether or not the whole team is suited up every game. Once J-Rich is back things will change, but hopefully it won't be too late. Even when J-Rich was in the line-up this year you can tell the team had more desire to win. Just J-Rich being on the court is a difference maker.
Richardson is a good (read: not great) player who should make our team better. He, however, is not going a 10-game difference maker (like Kobe, Lebron, D-Wade, Duncan, etc.).
This Warrior team should improve and has a chance to be pretty good with its current roster (let's hope for better health and some luck).
With Dunleavy and Murphy, this team had no chance to improve. I, too, do not see how "we got screwed."

Course Description
Participation in meaningful activities in the home and community contributes to health, wellness, and good quality of life. One way that occupational therapy supports that participation is by advocating for increased accessibility through universal design and environmental modification. Occupational therapy professionals fill a unique role in environmental modification—through evaluation, intervention, and outcomes measurement—by facilitating the creation of a safe, accessible home that allows people to do what is important and relevant to them.
This SPCC, which consists of text, exam packet, and a CD-ROM of hundreds of photographic and video resources, is divided into three sections: "Evaluating Client and Environment," "Developing and Implementing the Plan," and "Moving the Profession Forward."
Although these lessons were created for occupational therapy professionals new to home modification, those who have been practicing in this area will learn about the latest assessment tools and new assistive technology. Therapists who work with adults and those who work with children will find helpful guidelines and suggestions.
Learning ObjectivesAt the conclusion of the course, participants will be able to:
AOTA Specialty Certification in Environmental Modification (SCEM) is a major achievement for occupational therapist professionals in the field of environmental modification. This SPCC course supports those efforts by offering a broad range of topics determined by the competencies required to become SCEM certified. Click here to learn more.

Solutions are available in the BuildEase software and through an online questionnaire, LivAbility. (A simplified version of the questionnaire for consumers that will focus on fall prevention will be available in early 2011.) Christenson has also developed PresentEase, a visual library that includes more than 600 illustrations of environmental problems and solutions for age-related changes and the incorporation of universal design. She consults with architects, interior designers, businesses, and home owners and has written two books and many articles on universal design, assistive technology, and adaptations of the living environment. As a seminar leader, she has spoken to hundreds of groups on those topics. Christenson was the Minnesota Occupational Therapy Association Occupational Therapist of the Year in 1989. She has chaired both the Gerontology Special Interest Section of AOTA and the Environmental Modification Specialty Certification.
Carla A. Chase, EdD, OTR/L, CAPS, is an associate professor in the Occupational Therapy department at Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo. Her work centers on the needs of older adults who want to remain in their home by researching the impact of environmental modifications to support participation and promote safety. Recently, her research has focused on studying the meaning of home. She has practiced occupational therapy for almost 20 years in a variety of settings that include rehabilitation and home health. As an entrepreneur, she consulted with builders and remodelers to meet the home accessibility needs of people with various diagnoses and injuries. She has been a representative for the American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA) in a collaborative project with the National Association of Home Builders and AARP to provide educational sessions around the country.
