Branching out: Devon moves from the shadows
Devon Sproule started her musical career on a commune and as one of the ubiquitous adolescent Downtown Mall guitarists whose screechings make many passing grown-ups' teeth ache. But she matured and had the last laugh– she was swept away on a tour with the Dave Matthews Band and issued an album produced by bassist Stefan Lessard.
These days, Sproule is known as the partner– romantically and musically– of Paul Curreri, another Charlottesville musician-on-the-verge. The two are partners in crime in several ways. The musical side of their relationship has been chronicled on a series of CDs and was on view for the public again at a recent Valentine's Day concert.
But the current sweetness and light had a rocky start.
"I was playing a show at Trax," Sproule remembers. "I was on my last song when he jumped up on stage and started singing. He was drunk.
"He opened for me two nights later," she says, describing the beginning of a musical collaboration that began long before she became his fiancée.
"I did an interview the day after he asked me [to marry him], and I told the reporter that she couldn't print it until I told my mom. It made me feel like kind of a badass," she recalls with a smile.
But it seems as though she might be ready to go it alone professionally. After easing out from the Dave Matthews orbit, she's started playing a lot of shows and teaching guitar lessons when her schedule permits.
"My relationship with music became more about sitting down with my guitar than about the conversations I had around town about music," she says. "It became more about the music and less about the scene."
While later this month she's leaving for England, Ireland, and France, where she'll join Curreri for several shows, Sproule hints that the days of their lovey-dovey duets may be numbered.
"I think we're trying to phase it out," she says. "We already do a lot of things together."
They're obviously not phasing out love: their wedding is set for May. And that should be a pretty hectic month, as Sproule's next album release is tentatively scheduled for around the same time.
So now that she's a grown-up bride-to-be and no longer strumming away in front of CVS, what's the next chance for fans who can't afford the airfare to Paris?
"April 1 at Gravity, and I've got... oh, wait. maybe I can't announce it yet," she says. Stay tuned. We'll let you know after she tells her mom.

A year after shutting its fallen-star hedge fund and replacing its quantitative investment strategies group head, Goldman Sachs Asset Management is back on track with a successful risk-management fund that targets RIAs as investors.
The Goldman Sachs Dynamic Allocation Fund (GDAFX), which is set to hit the three-year mark this coming January after an early 2010 launch, is a solid contender within Morningstar's world allocation category, with $1.3 billion in assets, 1.39% in expenses and a year-to-date return of 8.45% as of Monday.
"We are a quantitative group, which means that for clients our process is disciplined, systematic and robust. Even by definition of our name, it's a dynamic allocation fund," said Gary Chropuvka (left), head of the Global Client Portfolio Management team at Goldman Sachs Asset Management (GSAM). "We combine a highly dedicated group of investment professionals dedicated to asset allocation, about 65 people, many of whom hold Ph.D. degrees in finance and other technical disciplines."
The Dynamic Allocation Fund is run by Chief Investment Officer William Fallon, one of three CIOs who report directly to the quantitative investment strategies group's new head, Armen Avanessians. A year ago at this time, Avanessians replaced Katinka Domotorffy, who retired after GSAM shut its Global Alpha hedge fund when investors fled from the fund after its 2007 peak of $12 billion plummeted to about $1 billion last year. In a Sept. 14, 2011 letter announcing the management shake-up to clients, GSAM pointed to Avanessians' performance at the firm since 1985.
Smooth Ride Overtakes Crown Jewel
Calling the now-shuttered Global Alpha fund "the crown jewel" of Goldman's quantitative trading business, Reuters in a Sept. 16, 2011 report said the company's decision to liquidate Global Alpha "signals its decision to exit quantitative hedge fund strategies altogether."
Now, GSAM's quants are putting a greater focus on providing clients with managed risk and a smoother ride to wealth accumulation. Indeed, during the course of a half-hour phone conversation with AdvisorOne last Friday, Chropuvka used the term "smooth ride" more than a dozen times. Chropuvka, who is responsible for product development and strategy for Avanessians' team, also said the biggest investments in the Dynamic Allocation Fund have been made largely by financial advisors.
"Registered investment advisors have certainly liked some of the fund's properties," Chropuvka said. "Particularly after 2008, investors saw a lot of these '60/40' balanced portfolios really not meet what their expectations were, which at the time they viewed as a smooth ride to wealth accumulation. But when equity markets are down 50%, it's difficult to justify that as a smooth ride to wealth accumulation."
Managed Volatility
"A lot of the Dynamic Allocation Fund's buyers are people who want to believe in diversification of a portfolio," Chropuvka added. "They like their volatility being managed. … Investment advisors particularly have really thought highly of this fund as we have set out to provide that smoother ride, and over the last two and a half years we have been quite successful in continuing to provide clients with a smoother ride to overall wealth accumulation."
The fund's risk-managed approach involves two components: the "intelligent offense," which seeks to attract returns, and the "dynamic defense," designed to stabilize volatility in an effort to preserve and grow investor capital.
"We try to avoid large market swings," Chropuvka said. "When we look back at the events of the last few years, they're quite instructive. In 2008, when some equity portfolios were down 50%, the math was quite challenging to battle back from large drawdowns."
Like many of the increasingly popular "go-anywhere" funds that strive to balance volatility by moving into and out of markets quickly, the Dynamic Allocation Fund is invested in a mix of global equities, bonds, credit, commodities and TIPS. The fund also leverages U.S. Treasuries to create a more diversified portfolio relative to the S&P 500.

So I'm sitting at my desk yesterday and my laptop's disk activity light starts flashing like crazy. I run netstat and find that the other admin is connected to my machine and I can only assume that he's downloading a large file.
I bring up the computer management console and look under the sessions and open files headings and find that there is nothing there. Strange... So I remove the exception for file and printer sharing in the Windows Firewall and his connections gets killed.
Later on, I try to pull up a text file on a remove xp box and find that the console isn't showing anything there either. What gives?
Furthermore, does anyone know what tools are available that allow me to monitor active connections to my computer (preferably showing what files are being accessed)?

I would like to begin by saying thank you for the temporary breather since I have been away from my blog. I am in the middle of establishing a Local History & Geology Room in the new Donald W. Reynolds Library. It is a big challenge that can stretch one's nerve a bit. But, the lessons of doing things different and new are always rewarding.
Every new task can hone our skills & temper and show your areas of improvement. It requires us to grow. I use to think consistency was a good thing. And in some terms it is. But Bernard Berenson once made a quote that has stuck with me; he said, "Consistency requires you to be as ignorant as you were a year ago. "
I can look back over my life and see some areas I could call consistent when it is really an excuse to stay comfortable.
Thank goodness for growth.
Thank goodness for growth.
As things are gearing up at work for our library's grand opening, I was putting some of my favorite books into their new home. One of those treasured authors of times past was Silas Claiborne Turnbo also known as S.C. Turnbo. I ran a quick search and discovered one of his articles from The Harrison Times in 1901that tells one of his great old stories. This is one of the many Ozark tales that can be read that was once published in local Ozark newspapers.
BILL CLARK, THE DEER SLAYER AND BEE HUNTERBill Clark was well known many miles along White River. Almost every pioneer settler in Taney and Ozark Counties, Mo., and Marion County, Ark., knew him, or had heard of him, for his fame as a hunter went far and wide. As a deer and bee hunter he had but few rivals. It is told of him that he never done but few day's work on a farm, entirely depending on hunting for a living. When he was hungry for bread he would approach a farmer and purchase a turn of corn on credit, promising to pay for it with a fat buck. It might be a month or a year before he fulfilled his promise, but it is said he hardly ever failed to bring the deer according to contract. He tramped the woods so frequently in search of game that the front part of his pant legs unless they were made of tanned buck hide were worn into tatters by the saw briars. To avoid the wear and tear on his pants he would often step high through the grass like a blind horse.
Referring to his renown as a bee hunter, a settler who lived on White River sent for him one day to find a bee tree that he and others failed to locate. When Clark arrived several men were sitting around watching the bees alp the bait. Some timber prevented the men from getting the proper direction the bees came and went. Bill seated himself to watch the bees for a few minutes, then he stationed himself on the bank of the river. He soon discovered that they flew across the river (his eyesight was so good he could see the flight of a bee a long distance). After getting the direction the bees flew he prepared to locate their home. Every man in the crowd had his eyes on Clark, for he was acknowledged to be a great bee hunter. Soon he noticed a bee heavily laden, which flew very slow. Bill watched it intently and said to the men, "Look, boys, look, look, look, boys, look. Into a tree it went, by jacks." His eyes had followed the bee into the face of a bluff on the opposite side of the river and saw it go into a tree. The men crossed the river in a canoe and discovered the bees in the tree Bill had named. He had located the tree in less than half an hour, where others had hunted for days and failed to find.
I remember seeing great numbers of wild bees visit our spring on Elbow Creek in 1850. The direction they came and went indicated that there was more than one hive nearby. Father was not a bee hunter, but he enjoyed eating wild honey and he sent for Bill Clark and when he made his appearance which was in a day or two father employed him to find bee trees. I was only six years old, but I recollect how Clark coursed the bees from the spring.
The hunter seated himself near where the bees were sipping the water and watched those that flew across the creek; then he ran and followed one to the creek and halted and waited for another one. In a few seconds another one appeared which flew just over his head. Bill began to repeat the words, "There it goes; there it goes; there it goes; over the hill it went, by jacks." Then he climbed the bluff on a line the bee had went and stopped on the top of the bluff where he saw the bee pass over. In a little while another bee went buzzing just over him. His eyes quickly perceived it and I heard him sing out, "Yonder it goes! Yonder it goes! Yonder it goes into a post oak tree, by jacks." The man had located it in a few minutes. Returning to the spring he proposed to find another swarm in less than an hour. Another course was followed west from the spring. Some timber intervened and so obstructed the course that Clark had some difficulty in finding the tree, but in about 40 minutes he treed the bees in a large cedar tree a few hundred yards from the spring. The bees went into the tree near the ground.
In the early forenoon the weather was clear and bright, but soon after locating the swarm in the cedar tree the sun was hidden by clouds which broke up the bee hunt. Going to the house for ax and vessels the hunter chopped a big block out of the tree and exposed to view a fine quantity of rich honey comb which filled the cavity in the tree. Rain began falling while we were feasting on the honey. In a day or two we felled the post oak tree on the creek bluff that Clark had found first, but it contained only a small amount of honey.
Many years ago when the fine valley of Big Creek in Taney County, Mo., was wild, Bill and his brother, Calvin Clark, were hunting one day on the right hand prong of the creek. The weather was warm and the weary hunters had stopped at a spring of water to quench their thirst. Before either one had time to drink a bee alighted and began sipping at the water. Bill remarked, "By jacks, Mr. Bee, I will find your house before I drink of this water."
Both men waited patiently until the bee filled itself and started. Bill watched it move off and followed it with his eye and saw it enter the cavity of a post oak tree just 15 paces from the spring. This proved to be a rich tree and the comb had a peculiar formation. The tree was large with a big hollow. A column of honeycomb was on two sides of the cavity, from the ground to seven feet above where the hollow terminated. From the center of the termination of the cavity was a round column of rich comb three inches in diameter and 2 ½ feet in length, which hung between the two columns of the main comb. It was held in place by a small neck—the lower part was not attacked to anything. Both of the men said that the formation of the comb in this tree was strange to them.
As we have given some samples of how the noted hunter located bee trees we will now relate some stories of how he slew wild turkeys and deer.
One night in the month of January, 1844, while his father, Billy Clark, lived at the mouth of Shoal Creek just over the line in now what is Boone County, Ark. He and his brother, Calvin, went up to the upper end of the river bottom above the mouth of the creek to shoot turkeys. Great numbers were roosting in the timber. The night was cold, but it was brilliantly lighted up by a full moon. In a large sycamore tree the limbs were crowded with turkeys. Both men took a station at one tree and shot, time about, until 14 fat turkeys fell dead. Thinking it wrong to kill more than they could make use of for awhile, they ceased the slaughter and swung the dead turkeys on a pole and carried them home.
Where the little hamlet of Dugginsville, Ozark County, Mo., now is, is several fine springs of water. Here on this spot of land Bill Clark often camped and killed scores of deer on Cedar Creek. The hills and valleys in this section were a garden spot for deer. Some 200 yards from the main spring, Bill said that he killed the largest buck he ever saw. The animal was so fat and heavy that it gave him and his brother Calvin a hard lift to carry it to camp at the spring. Campbell Barry, who was then County Clerk of Taney County, had offered a fine pocket knife as a premium to the hunter who brought in the largest buck hide in proper shape. Clark said that the hide from this buck after being well dried weighed 12 lbs. and 2 oz. at Forsyth. Bill took in the knife by a close call, for another hunter had brought in a buck hide that weighed 12 lbs. and one ounce. Besides the knife he received 30 cents per lb. for the hide.
On another occasion Bill, accompanied by his brother Calvin, were on a camp hunt at this last named spring on Cedar Creek. The men needed a supply of pelts more than they needed venison. This time out they killed deer for the hides only. They soon killed enough for a fair load. One morning the wind was blowing brisk and the hunters thought they would have no success that day on account of the blustery weather. But they went out to try their luck at least. Just below the spring on the creek they met a herd of deer which divided, and each man followed a bunch of them. The deer were not wild and soon stopped. Calvin said that he killed three of them as fast as he could load and shoot. The second one fell across the first one and the third one fell in a few feet of the other two. The other deer ran off.
"In the meantime," said Cal "I heard Bill shooting, and knew he was putting in good time. When he quit firing I went to him, he being near ¼ mile from me, and found that he had slain four deer and they were all lying within ten feet of each other. This was seven deer killed in a few minutes. This gave us a spell of work to remove the hides. We had enough green pelts on hand now to care for, and we loaded them on our ponies and returned home. At the mouth of Shoal Creek." Bill Clark has left his earthly hunting grounds and has passed over to the other shore where we hope he is "resting under the shade of the trees." His death occurred in the month of May, 1886. He died on the south side of White River above the mouth of Little North Fork and just below Blanket Bottom. On the 26th day of December, 1905, as I stood on a hill on the north side of the river and viewed the locality where the old pioneer hunter gave up his unerring rifle to occupy his resting place under the sod my heart seemed to throb slower then it beat faster at the memory of this man who once was so noted among the wild bees, wild turkeys and deer. After his death his family and friends conveyed his body to the north bank of the river and deposited it in a grave dug in the cemetery in the lower part of the bottom opposite the mouth of Music Creek. Clark had hunted until he was too old and feeble to follow the fat bucks or kill the big fat gobbler or hunt the rich bee trees.
A few years ago the writer met his widow, Mrs. Celia Clark. She was at that time residing near Dugginsville, a part of her husband's old hunting grounds. She is a daughter of Arch and Elizabeth Tabor. Her mother was a daughter of Tommy Morris who died on Big Creek in 1858.
In referring to old times on Big Creek Aunt Celia Clark said that, "some of the women in the early days knew how to use a rifle as well as men. One evening in 1840, when I was about ten years old, " said she, "I went to Uncle Isaac Tabor's to stay all night. Next morning before breakfast a large flock of wild turkeys alighted in some trees near the house. Uncle Isaac was gone but Aunt Tilda, his wife, says, "Let us have turkey for breakfast." Then she took down the rifle and walked out into the yard and taking deliberate aim at a fine gobbler, shot and killed it."

An innovative financing mechanism, known as Social Impact Incentives or SIINC, has begun to take form and test its first experiences in Latin America, through the collaboration between the MIF, Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) and the German firm "Roots of Impact". SIINCs are financial incentives paid to emerging, high-impact social enterprises for reaching selected results and impact goals that are negotiated between the social enterprise and the outcome payer (in this case, MIF). The payments allow the company to improve revenues and profitability – and thus attractiveness to other impact investors – in exchange for achieving social impact, measured and verified by an independent evaluator.

When Doctors and Nurses Work TogetherMonday, November 1, 2010 11:11
By Barbara Ficarra, RN, BSN, MPA
From KevinMD's medical blog, in a recent post, Kevin Pho, MD answers the question, "Is the doctor-patient relationship really more sacrosanct than the nurse-patient relationship?" posed by Theresa Brown from the Well Blog, The New York Times Health Blog.
The answer is "clearly no" writes Pho.
Physicians have the ultimate responsibility for treatment decisions, but because nurses spend so much more time with hospital patients than doctors do, we have a unique view of how the patient is really doing…
We are shifting away from a paternalistic model of care, and more towards a team-based approach. This is especially true in the hospital, where not only a doctor takes care of a patient, but also nurses, social workers, physical therapists, dietitians and discharge planners, to name a few.
He is exactly right. The doctor-patient relationship does not take priority over the relationship between a patient and a nurse.
Patient care is the responsibility of nurses, doctors and other members of the health care team.
Good nurses and doctors work together and they know how to effectively communicate with each other and other members of the health team.
It takes a team for quality patient care.
Patient care is a multidisciplinary, team-based approach, comprised of a diverse group of specialized professionals. Patient care has become very complex due to comorbidity that exits with many patients today.
With these multifaceted patients it takes a team of medical professionals to provide the absolute best quality care. The patient is the most important part of the team, and through a collaborative team based approach, patients can receive the highest quality of care.
And like any team, the medical team needs to work together respectfully and thoughtfully. The medical team needs to listen attentively to each other and communicate and problem solve together. Each member of the team supports and respects one another. The synergy of collaboration will greatly benefit the patient.
A good team will foster a positive working environment.
Without communication and collaboration we risk sustaining a fractured team.
The medical team of doctors, nurses and other medical professionals that engage and respect each other will create a positive working environment and perform at an elevated level which can produce quality patient care with exceptional patient outcomes.
When nurses and doctors disagree
Nurses and doctors may not always agree, and when disagreements occur we need to address them in a professional manner.
I understand how busy and chaotic a hospital can be and tension can mount because of the pressures, but despite that, it is the responsibility of nurses and doctors (and other members of the team) to effectively communicate. If there are issues with patients, they need to be addressed professionally and thoroughly. Conversations between nurses and doctors need to be continuous and we need to understand, appreciate and value each other's role.
It is important to note that the doctor-nurse relationship is sacrosanct and building a professional relationship is essential. Patient care should not be a tug-of-war between nurses and doctors, but instead it should be about professionals working together for the good of the patients.

We would love to hear from you. Please share your insightful thoughts with us.

I work in a very busy ED that is only 18 ER rooms and some fast track rooms. We have 2 docs and sometimes 1 midlevel most of the time. We (nurses and providers)communicate very well with each other in order to give great patient care. Most of us have been there long enough that we know the providers well enough to know what they are thinking and we are comfortable enough to just ask or give our opinion. We also describe what we see alone with patients which is usually different then when the providers assesses them (for some reason!?). A really good reason would be that nurses spend at least 4 to 5 times longer with patient than the providers does and we can truly get a better picture of the real issues of the patient. We (nurses) are in there when the family is in there and we can here the conversations with visitors and the phone calls… not that we are listening in or anything! But it is our job to be detectives and try to find out what is going on. We can share our thoughts and findings with the providers as long as they are objective findings, not opinions. Our providers will even ask us what we think or have noted. It comes from working together for a good amount of time and gaining trust. Some providers I trust more than others and I'm sure some providers trust some nurses more than others. Gain trust from communication and responsibility and you can work better as a team.

According to the Commission, the EU must urgently invest in outdated and poorly interconnected energy infrastructure in order to meet their energy policy and climate objectives by 2020. To this end, national approval procedures for projects of European interest are to be streamlined and better coordinated. The Commission announces to submit guidelines or a legislative proposal on cost allocation to address major or cross-border projects through tariff or investment rules in 2011.
In Spring 2011, the Commission will be publishing a "European resolution framework". This framework is to allow credit institutions to fail whilst avoiding costs to taxpayers and without endangering financial stability.
Already in the "Women's Charter" of March 2010, the Commission announced to strengthen the gender perspective in all its policies. The current Communication substantiates the Commission's announcement by describing the key areas for action and which measures it wishes to take. The Commission remains rather vague in its Communication, but has published a working document [SEC(2010) 1079] accompanying the Communication with a catalogue of 130 specific, non-legislative measures.
The Commission is changing the rules regarding derivatives which are concluded and traded directly between counterparties ("over-the-counter", OTC). It wishes that having OTC deals be cleared by central counterparties (CCPs) seated in the EU. Different regulations for financial service providers on the one hand and undertakings on the other hand, and a distinction between speculative OTC derivatives and those serving to hedge real corporate risks are to help improve the stability of the financial system.
The current Euro crisis is mainly rooted in the Member States excessive public debts. Consequently, settling the problem of debt should be at the heart of crisis management. To this end, the Commission published a reform package on 29 September. It encompasses amendments to the Stability and Growth Pact and, at the same time, a macroeconomic surveillance flanking the Pact. Thus the Commission wishes to ensure that, in future, the Stability and Growth Pact will be applied in a more efficient, sharper and more thorough manner.
The Commission proposes to entitle undertakings established in a third country to transfer their managers and specialists to their EU subsidiaries. To this end, a uniform procedure for granting residence and working permits should be established in all Member States. The permit is granted for the duration of the transfer and can be extended by up to three years. It is equally valid for transfers to subsidiaries in other Member states if limited to 12 months. Family member should be entitled to enter the EU along with the employee concerned without any integration measures being required before their entry.
The first railway package of 2001 consists of three Directives which form the basis for the European railway legislation. According to the Commission, the present summary and recast version is to remove any insufficiencies, uncertainties and gaps in the regulatory framework. It further encompasses the removal of barriers to competition and the reform of regulatory oversight (1. Part), as well as questions regarding the development and operation of the railway infrastructure (2. Part).Its major aim is to provide for a non-discriminatory competition in the railway traffic market.
The EU Energy Strategy 2020 is focusing on five "priorities": (1) increase in energy efficiency, (2) building a "pan-European integrated energy market", (3) consumer protection and safety and security standards, (4) further development of energy technologies and (5) strengthening the external dimension of the EU energy market.
The Commission criticises the current EU energy policy in that the internal energy market is still fragmented and the efforts by Member States to increase energy efficiency are "disappointing". Moreover, there is a lack of energy system investments of EUR 1 trillion and technological progress.

Rich and tender, with a bacon-like flavor, scallops are a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. And though their delicate flesh – seemingly so easy to under- or overcook – often intimidates, they're actually almost idiotproof once you learn how to give them a proper sear. "Forty-five seconds to a minute and a half per side, and you're done," says chef David Kinch, owner of the two-Michelin-star restaurant Manresa, in Silicon Valley. Here, he presents them with a classic beurre blanc, a white-wine-and-butter combo he calls "one of the greatest sauces to come out of France." With twists like a splash of OJ, it's adaptable to nearly any seafood dish.
• 6 large dry-packed diver or day-boat scallops
• canola oil
• butter
For the beurre blanc
• 1 cup minced shallots
• 2 cups white wine
• 2 sticks cold butter, cut into cubes
Step one: Make the beurre blanc
Combine shallots and white wine in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat until the wine has evaporated, leaving a syrupy glaze on the shallots. Reduce heat to low, and add butter, one cube at a time, stirring with a whisk to combine between each addition. Set the pan somewhere warm.
Step two: Prep the scallops
Use a paring knife or your fingers to remove the tendon attached to each scallop. Set scallops on a plate with their most attractive faces – their "presentation sides" – up. Blot dry with paper towels.
Step three: Sear the scallops
Place a skillet over high heat. After a minute or two, add a thin film of oil. Set scallops presentation-side down. Now, says Kinch, "do not move the scallop. Do not pick it up and look, then pick it up and look. You won't get a beautiful sear that way." Leave it for 45 to 90 seconds, depending on size. Then flip to sear the other side, and quickly add a tablespoon of butter to the pan; it will immediately foam and turn brown. Tilt the pan to one side, allowing the butter to pool. Ladle butter repeatedly over scallops, and then set them on paper towels just long enough to drain excess butter. Arrange scallops on a plate with freshly steamed bright-green vegetables – broccoli florets are Kinch's choice – and ladle the beurre blanc over all.

Near zero T-bill yields throughout 2009 is keeping U.S. debt service low even though the amount of outstanding debt continues to rise. A forecast increase in U.S. interest rates, along with growth in the amount of debt, will lift interest expenses sharply over the next ten years. In fact, as this chart shows, interest payments are projected to surpass defense spending by 2017. According to the Bureau of Economic Analysis, which collects data back to 1929, interest payments have never surpassed defense spending.

Connecticut school officials ask for school day requirements in aftermath of winter storms
Having been forced to shut down because of a hurricane and now a historic blizzard, several Connecticut school districts say they would like the state's Department of Education to approve a blanket, one-time waiver of the 180-day state requirement for classes.
But state education officials are non-committal about the possibility of a waiver.
Wallingford Superintendent of Schools Salvatore Menzo and his counterpart in Milford, Elizabeth Feser, say their districts are running out of days that can be used to make up for class time missed because of Hurricane Sandy and the Blizzard of 2013.
"We have a total of 12 days to make up, five from the hurricane and six from the blizzard," Feser said. "We would welcome the state granting a waiver, but I have never known them to do so."
But with increased scrutiny on education in Connecticut and mandated state testing, many school officials and lawmakers are reluctant to meddle in what some regard as the Department of Education's sole purview.
Some districts will not seek a waiver for the 180-day rule. And some lawmakers, including several leaders of the legislature's Education Committee, didn't return calls made to them by the New Haven Register about the subject.
Kelly Donnelly, a spokeswoman for the state Department of Education, said agency officials recognize the havoc that weather has wreaked upon school calendars this year.
"We are in the process of communicating with superintendents and other local leaders regarding the impact that these severe storms have had on their respective districts," Donnelly said. "The state Department of Education plans to analyze the differing numbers of school days that have been lost by different districts due to these storms."
But even with that acknowledgement, the Department Education remains firm on the need for the 180-day minimum, she said.
"Every day in the 180-day academic calendar represents precious learning time," Donnelly said. "Each day, we prepare our students for success in college, career, and life; that's why the 180-day rule is in place. At this point in time, it has not been determined whether the state Department of Education will consider waiver requests."
Joseph Cirasuolo, executive director of the Connecticut Association of Public School Superintendents, said he has been approached by officials of several school districts about whether to seek a waiver.
"I told them that if you have a good case for waiver, make it and see what happens," Cirasuolo said. "But you have to remember that children are expected to learn more now than they were 10 years ago over the same amount of time."
The only waiver the state Department of Education has granted for the 180-day rule this year is for the Newtown district for class days lost in the aftermath of the killings at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
"I think that shows that the state Department of Education is willing to listen to a district make a case for waiver," he said. "But the Newtown case is unique. I don't think you can compare that with what has gone on with the weather."
The process for considering a request by a an individual district for a waiver of the 180-day rule typically begins with a local school board authorizing its superintendent to write a letter to the state education commissioner. The commissioner reviews the request and then submits it to the state Board of Education for consideration, usually late in the spring to make sure a district has exhausted all other options for making up the missed days.
It is then up to the state Board of Education to either approve or deny the request.
Cirasuolo said the state board will weigh how much teaching time would be lost if a waiver is granted along with other mitigating factors.
"Parents in some districts have already made down payments of trips scheduled for school vacation weeks and will lose money of that time off is canceled," he said. "If you cancel vacation weeks, you got to consider that many students may not be there anyway because of their parents' vacation plans."
The same issues must be considered in extending the school year until the very end of June, Cirasuolo said.
"If you get temperatures up in the 90s and high humidity, it's not really an environment that is conducive to quality learning," he said.
Hamden Superintendent Fran Rabinowitz is hoping her district can catch a few breaks over the remainder of the year.
She and her staff decided to preserve the district's February vacation after doing a survey that determined that keeping schools open during that time would have required too many substitutes.
"I would not have been able to staff the schools," Rabinowitz said.
So, instead, April vacation has been abolished and once this week's February vacation is over, students will be attending school without much break until June 26, with teachers working through the following day. That schedule leaves only two days breathing room for possible cancellations.
"We have to hope that there will not be any other weather events," Rabinowitz said.

Remarks by Angel Gurría, Secretary-General, OECD
9 December 2009, Washington, D.C., United States
Broadcast live at the Roundtable on Foreign Bribery: Who Pays the Price? taking place in Paris, France
Distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen,
Ten years ago, foreign bribery was a crime without a punishment in most countries. While the United States had its Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, companies in many other countries regarded paying bribes to win foreign contracts as just part of business as usual.
Today, we celebrate International Anti-Corruption Day and the 10th anniversary of the entry into force of the OECD's Anti-Bribery Convention, the first multilateral step towards ending this crime. We are also unveiling a new Anti-Bribery Recommendation that was recently adopted by the countries that have signed the Convention to help us do a better job of fighting foreign bribery.
Thanks to the Convention and to the commitment of the countries that are Parties to it, foreign bribery is now a criminal offense in much of the world. Companies based in the 38 countries that have signed the Convention no longer benefit from tax deductions for bribe payments. Because of this collective crackdown on corruption, some 150 sanctions have been imposed for cases involving foreign bribery. Another 250 cases are under investigation.
I would like to thank the Parties to the Convention for their hard work and commitment over the past ten years. Thanks to you, we have succeeded in putting the bribery of foreign public officials on the global anti-corruption agenda. Your rigorous system for reviewing compliance with the Convention is considered a model throughout the international anti-corruption community. This system ensures that Parties to the Convention must put words into action.
Thanks also go to our partners from civil society and the private sector, especially Transparency International, for their ongoing and invaluable input and support.
Foreign bribery remains a major problem
Despite all these efforts, however, foreign bribery remains a major problem. At the same time as we celebrate our achievements, we need to step up our efforts to remove this major obstacle to a stronger, cleaner and fairer world economy.
Billions of dollars are still wasted every year on bribes. Indeed, surveys show that we have some major communication work to do. Many companies doing business abroad are still not fully aware of the OECD Anti-Bribery Convention or its implications for their business. That is why we are launching a drive to raise global awareness, so that companies know that they need to take effective measures to prevent foreign bribery by their employees and agents; and so that law enforcement authorities treat any cases of such bribery as a matter of priority.
Our event today is a part of a broader agenda. In partnership with other international organizations and with NGOs, private-sector organisations and other key stakeholders in the international fight against foreign bribery, the OECD is developing an initiative to highlight the devastating impact of foreign bribery.
The current economic crisis makes this initiative more urgent than ever. With stretched budgets putting governments under pressure to make public expenditure more effective, there is no money to waste. At the same time, there are fears that toughening competition may make companies more open to corruption. Markets for public procurement are particularly vulnerable and call for particular vigilance.
The future of the fight against bribery
The OECD is determined to overcome these challenges. We cannot let our citizens, local businesses and whole nations pay the price of corruption.
The new Anti-Bribery Recommendation adopted by the OECD Council and all Parties to the Convention introduces new provisions for combating small facilitation payments, for protecting whistleblowers, and for improving lines of communication between public officials and law enforcement authorities. This new instrument complements the Convention. It improves our ability to prevent, detect and prosecute foreign bribery as a crime. It will make a real change.
Next year, the Parties to the Convention will start reporting on how they apply the Recommendation. Meanwhile, we are continuing to engage major emerging economies through regional anti-corruption programmes spanning the globe. Already, along with the 30 OECD countries, Argentina, Brazil, Bulgaria, Chile, Estonia, Israel, Slovenia and South Africa have signed the Convention. Russia has officially requested to join. We are encouraging other countries to follow suit. The G20 Summit in Pittsburgh gave a big push to the Convention. G20 leaders have called on us to strengthen our efforts to have more countries signing.
Today, on International Anti-Corruption Day, I am encouraged to see so many of us gathered together in Washington and Paris, committed to the fight against foreign bribery. Together, the message we are sending on foreign bribery is clear: The only ones who should pay the price for this crime are its perpetrators.

Brian Whitaker
A regular at some of the world's biggest clubs and most depressing dive bars, Brian Whitaker can only be described as... I can't do this. What's up, I'm Brian. I'm writing this. Matter of fact, everyone whose bio you read on this thing had to write their very own bio, meaning we're left with the option of describing ourselves as amazing people (kinda sorta douchey) or finding some ass-kissy quote someone wrote about us that we tend to agree with (even douchier), so I'd just like to say hi here and that I hope you roll out to a show sometime. I grew up rich and then poor and have been through the ringer of both worlds, so I like to talk about how we're all full of horsesh#t in our own special way. Bottom line, no matter what your background is, you'll likely relate to me. My favorite compliment ever from a fan after a show: "You were my favorite. Please don't tell anyone."

The Department of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery at University of Iowa Hospitals & Clinics is one of the oldest departments in the United States and one of the most comprehensive in the world.
Our institute is among the largest of its kind and is a, world-class facility housing 28 exam rooms, a surgery center, and separate reception areas for different groups of patients. Clinical research centers include: a Balance Disorders Center, a Cochlear Implant Center, and a Voice and Swallowing Center.
Annually we receive $5 million in grants from the NIH to pursue our research goals. We have two highly competitive ACGME accredited fellowships in otology/neurotology and pediatric otolaryngology and a world-class head and neck microvascular fellowship.
U.S. News has consistently rated the department among the top otolaryngology programs in the United States since 1990. Best Doctors®, an online database of peer evaluated physicians, has consistently included members of our faculty.
First Magnet Hospital in Iowa
Inaugurated in February 2000, the Department of Otolaryngology--Head and Neck Surgery is located on the second floor of the Pomerantz Family Pavilion, University of Iowa Hospitals & Clinics.
Covering an area of 40,000 square feet, the facility offers 29 exam rooms spread over four clinical specialty areas: Otology/Neurotology, Pediatric Otolaryngology, General Otolaryngology/Rhinology and Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. Exam rooms for each of the specialty areas are specifically equipped for the needs of that specialty.
Otology/Neurotology rooms all have ceiling mounted microscopes, while Pediatric rooms are softened by the inclusion of activities and games for children. The new Facial Plastic and Reconstructive surgery clinic is designed as a "clinic with a clinic" in order to streamline the patient experience and to offer a more private waiting room area. Each exam room is equipped with an endoscopic imaging system with monitors for patient viewing.
For minor procedures patients have immediate access to our surgery center fitted with state of the art equipment. The surgery center provides the department with the flexibility it needs to perform smaller procedures and biopsies without having to arrange time in the Main Operating Room suite.
We have an additional 35,000 square feet of dedicated research space that support the research goals of our investigators–this includes the Center for Auditory Regeneration occupying the fifth-floor of the Carver Biomedical Research Building. Directed by Bruce Gantz, MD and Richard Smith, MD, the center offers a unique environment for multi-disciplinary research into new treatments for permanent inner ear diseases and disorders that cause hearing loss and deafness. This work complements UI expertise and innovation in cochlear implants, including brain stem implants and short electrodes for high frequency hearing loss.

Behind the Scenes at Pike Brewing Company, Seattle, WA
In 1989, Charles and Rose Ann Finkel took over Liberty Malt Supply Company, founded in 1921, and opened The Pike Place Brewery in the La Salle Hotel under the Pike Place Public Market—a landmark spot in Seattle and one of the longest running continually operated farmers' markets in the US. The Finkels have a history in beer going back to the late Seventies, when Charles and Rose Ann were importing European beers, working with breweries such as Orval, Samuel Smith, Pinkus and Ayinger, and seeking marketing and distribution arrangements with American breweries. Favoring beers that paired well with food, Pike Place Brewery launched with their Pale Ale and soon followed with their XXXXX Stout. In 1990 their Scotch-style ale, Pike Kilt Lifter, was introduced and is today a top seller for the brewery.
In 1995 Pike moved to a new location next to the market and changed name to Pike Brewing Company. The current location is a multi-level brewery, pub, restaurant, and beer museum.
From the restaurant, you can get a close look at the brew kettle, watch the bucket elevator carry the crushed malt up to the grist case and view room after room full of memorabilia and descriptive displays about beer's history, starting with Mesopotamia and leading up to the current beer scene in the Pacific Northwest. The Pike brewery is a wonderful resource to learn about the ingredients that go into making beer as well as the brewing process.
Three levels down, you'll find the brewing operations—the giant fermenters, bright tanks, and the bottling line. While I was visiting there was a truck dropping off raw materials (such as bags of malt) that would leave with kegs and cases of beer ready for distribution. In addition, the truck would be removing spent grain which eventually finds its way to local farms to be used as cattle feed.
The range of Pike beers were developed to pair well with food. Based on the same top-fermenting English yeast they got from Fullers Brewery in 1989, you will find a core line up of ales, porters, stouts, Scotch ales and barleywines. In addition you can enjoy unusual options like the Monk's Uncle or Dry Wit, or take it up a notch with Tripel Kriek XXX Cherry Ale, which has been aging in wine casks.

Ronald Reagan on Environment
President of the U.S., 1981-1989; Republican Governor (CA)
Reagan's actions were a sound alternative to the ill-considered 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. This UN proposal would create a socialistic system of control and regulation of the seas. It embodies an outmoded 1970s view of the world. Reagan would not approve the convention. If the nation is to realize the full potential of President Reagan's vision, we must create a forward-looking oceans policy that recognizes our many and complicated interests.
After three years of much talk and little action, the EPA wanted Reagan to make a major budget commitment to reducing the causes of acid rain. The EPA's proposal was assailed as wasteful government spending by Reagan's OMB and was rejected by Reagan, who questioned the scientific evidence on the causes of acid rain and was reluctant to impose additional restrictions on industry.
REAGAN: That is a misstatement of my position. For Mr. Carter to suggest that I want to do away with the safety laws and with the laws that pertain to clean water and clean air, and so forth: as Governor of California, I took charge of passing the strictest air quality law that has ever been adopted in the US. And we created an OSHA, an occupational safety and health agency, for the protection of employees before the Federal Government had one in place. I am suggesting that there are literally thousands of unnecessary regulations.
CARTER: The air pollution standard laws that were passed in California were passed over the objections of Governor Reagan. Also, recently, when someone suggested that OSHA should be abolished, Governor Reagan responded, "Amen."

Russell T Davies
Only a human-timelord metacrisis can remedy this.
"He's a cucking funt, m'boy!"
Sir Russell T Davros OBE (Welsh: Rrrrllghhhllyyyghllscygh Thwwllff Dafyyyyswf) is an award-winning science fiction writer and television producer.
Early Life[edit]
Born to a drill instructor and a marathon runner, Davros had many friends and enjoyed a healthy relationship with his parents. His hobbies included running, shouting, and running. All that changed at the age of 15, when he came out as a Welshman. His friends deserted him and parents disowned him. He didn't even get the chance to tell them he was gay.
"Er llnad oes llawysgrifau llweddi gogghhhlllroes," said Davros on the matter.
At Oxford, Davros excelled in track and field, theater arts, and long distance running. He often combined these activities, performing his self-written plays at the top of his lungs while running cross country. He was celebrated for his adaptations, 'Running for Godot' and 'The Merchant of Cardiff,' which the school newspaper praised for their 'urgency' and 'lactic acid.' He was voted the classmate most likely to win a BAFTA. Upon graduation he applied to work for the British Broadcasting Corporation.
Davros began work at the BBC on a long running hard science-fiction series. It included on its list of consultants William Gibson and Noam Chomsky, and dealt with nanotechnology and emerging ideas in the field of knot theory with relation to m-dimensional Euclidean space. To appeal more to general audiences, Davros emphasized the emotional side of the show over the science fiction elements, turning Coronation Street into a world famous ratings sensation. For his next project, Davros chose to resurrect Doctor Who.
Doctor Who[edit]
The BBC were against the idea of bringing back the Doctor until they heard Davros' pitch – he wanted to set the show in the future, namely the year 2005. This was a groundbreaking idea at the time, which was 2003. With Christopher Eccleston as the Doctor and Billie Piper as his companion, the show became a smash.
Davros is credited with bringing Doctor Who into the 21st century by incorporating modern concepts, such as sex, regional accents, and special effects your grandmother didn't make for Halloween. He set it in realistic locations, like London and Cardiff and he grounded the show with ideas that audiences could relate to, like being in love with a 900 year-old time-traveling alien. New Who tackled science fiction, drama, melodrama, action, romance, and comedy – often within a matter of minutes. The show now targeted the entire family, including infants and pets. Viewers reportedly hid behind their sofas due to the quality of the show.
"Yym llmhob cwr o llwymru ddbu'n fodd," laughed Davros. "Wwwwwlllli awlwlllwllngori'r ddiawllwlwdith."
In casting New Who, Davros fought for diversity. At first he cast Eccleston, a Northerner, in the role of the Doctor. In Series Two, he cast Scottish star David Tennant in the title role after Eccleston left to care for his ailing integrity. The change was used to illustrate the Doctor's different personalities: Eccleston's Doctor was vindictive and moody, expressing distaste for the human race but affection for individuals. Tennant's Doctor had a brown suit. After Piper left the show, Davros made headlines when he cast the first ever inanimate object as a companion. The piece of wood - nicknamed Marfa Jones - was another masterstroke, raising ratings and cutting production costs. However Jones was forced to leave the show after just one series when she was deemed a fire hazard. Davros is also an outspoken advocate for the ethical treatment of pop stars, casting Billie Piper and Kylie Minogue, thereby saving them from almost certain irrelevance.
Davros has been accused of producing Doctor Who with a Welsh Agenda – that is, gratuitous use of Welsh actors, locations, and slang. Inquiries have been made as to whether he is an agent of the Wales Tourism Board. Davros himself dismissed the accusers as disgruntled fanboys who are probably themselves latent Welshmen.
"Cyntafffwwll i adeyylliladllu llcewwstyllf, llcyn wdyddlliau brwwenlllhinloexxdd." said Davros.
He has however freely admitted to having a Gay Agenda, Gay Itinerary, Rolodex, PDA, etc.
He has also been criticized for speeding up the show and shortening its length. So fast is the pace that the actors must literally run from one scene to the next. In his defense, Davros claimed that art is a reflection of life and that the modern world is faster paced, citing that he himself spends just five minutes on each script, normally after it has aired. The rest of his time is spent filming the behind-the-scenes featurette, Doctor Who Confidential.
In 2010 Davros was unsurprisingly nominated for 8 awards in the nation TV awards and won 7. One from Davaros's life long achivements, two for his work in doctor who and the other 5 for his work in torchwood.

After Who[edit]
killing revitalizing Doctor Who and spearheading two completely necessary spinoffs - Torchwood and the Sarah Jane Chronicles - Davros announced he will step down as executive producer in 2010 to spend more time running. For this, the Queen of Wales awarded him an OBE. Fans rejoiced when told he would be replaced by a Scottish sitcom writer. Steven MacMoffat put to rest any concerns about the show's quality when he exclaimed in a press release: "Rrrg splutter splut! Achhh nae cannae Doctorrr Whuuu."

Swarm is ESA's first Earth observation constellation of satellites.
The three identical satellites are launched together on one rocket. Two satellites orbit almost side-by-side at the same altitude – initially at about 460 km, descending to around 300 km over the lifetime of the mission. The third satellite is in a higher orbit, at 530 km, and at a slightly different inclination. The satellites' orbits drift, resulting in the upper satellite crossing the path of the lower two at an angle of 90° in the third year of operations.
The different orbits along with the satellites' various instruments optimise magnetic data sampling in space and time, distinguishing between the effects of different sources and strengths of magnetism.
The three-satellite Swarm mission aims to unravel one of the most mysterious aspects of our planet: the magnetic field.
The magnetic field protects our planet from cosmic radiation and charged particles that bombard Earth via the solar wind. Without this protective shield, the atmosphere as we know it would not exist, rendering life on Earth virtually impossible.
By analysing the different characteristics of the field, the mission will provide new insights into many natural processes, from those occurring deep inside the planet to weather in space caused by solar activity. In turn, this information will yield a better understanding of why the magnetic field is weakening.
Swarm is ESA's fourth Earth Explorer mission, following GOCE, SMOS and CryoSat.

x-callback-url is an unofficial spec for iOS interapp communication.
The goal of the x-callback-url specification is to provide a standardized means for iOS developers to expose and document the methods they make available to other apps.
If you want that your iOS app can be invoked from other apps or websites you can register URL types in your Info.plist like this:
The example above can be invoked with: test://x-callback-url/action?foo=bar Additionally to parameters you are also encouraged to specify x-success, x-error, e-cancel and x-source. These are urls (except x-source which should be the name of invoking app) which will be invoked when the action is completed, was canceled or failed. If your app (which in this example registered myapp as an x-callback-url scheme) wants to use the test app to do a task the call could look like this (Specs):
However, please consider the implications. When implementing to call the x-error url after completion the user is also leaving your app again.
"Bad app" could look like this:
function spam(){window.location =
document.addEventListener("invoke", spam, false);
document.addEventListener("resume", spam, false);
You should consider x-callback-url as an API to your app which is better bullet proof. Also be aware that the URL scheme should be unique. If two apps have the same URL scheme registered only one gets actually invoked. Not sure how this is determinated.
