The first column always shows the player entry number, no matter what the sorted order is. A 'tick' mark next to the player's ID indicates that the player is 'Registered'.
The main heading in the draw shows the the round number, the tournament name, the room number and the range of boards on the current page. Any handicaps or extra komi stones are printed as well as the player names. GoDraw allocates handicaps and komi stones according to the settings in Rules. These can be overridden by editing the draw.
Players can enter their game results in the space provided next to each name. The best method is to write a 1 next to the winner and a 0 next to the loser. Write J next to each for a jigo.
The printout of results is a copy of the draw printout but with the actual result shown next to each name. Comparison of the results printout with the original draw is simple. You will probably not easily be forgiven for making a mistake in a result entry, so it well worth the time taken to do this check.
The rank list always shows the number of wins and the McMahon score. It contains up to two additional columns showing the tie break values as specified in Rules. A player who has not played any rounds so far is left out of the list.
Direction of draw ie up, down, or even is marked. The field marked C indicates colour imbalance( excess of white games over black games) and the field marked M indicates McMahon imbalance(excess of games played up over games played down).
If the printer setting is 'Portrait' mode, there are 24 cards per A4 page dimensioned to conform to standard A4 label sheets. In 'Landscape' mode there are 12 cards per page, arranged as 4 rows of 3.

I have struggled a lot to make PHP connect to a MS SQL server from under a Linux (using FreeTDS).
I installed the latest FreeTDS and tried to use usual host:port to connect to a server.
Finally when I configured freetds.conf like that:
host = 192.168.17.17
port = 1433
tds version = 7.0
and used mysrvalias instead of the 192.168.17.17:1433, it worked!

Torrington superintendent makes a plea for proposed school budget
Torrington>> More than three dozen audience members packed the Torrington School Board's Migeon Avenue office Wednesday evening, for an airing of the latest version of the superintendent's proposed 2013-2014 budget.
School officials contend that if city officials hold fast to a desire for a flat year-to-year schools budget, cuts could change the very character of the district. According to a presentation by Superintendent Cheryl Kloczko, a zero-increase budget cuts more than 52 teachers in elementary and secondary schools, eliminates a librarian, half a dozen custodians, and necessitates pay-to-play sports.
A zero-increase budget fixes the 2013-14 schools budget at
$66,444,310, as it was the previous year, but according to Kloczko, creates across the board cuts. Maintaining, "exactly, exactly what we have now," said Kloczko, requires a 5.75 percent increase, or a budget increase of $3,822,241. To fund all proposed facilities repairs and programs, the district requires a 7.8 percent on last year's budget, or an additional $5,177,948.
Kloczko described a zero percent increase as a "5.75 percent cut."
"I don't consider what we need to exist an increase," said Kloczko.
Many audience members expressed anxiety at teacher cuts in the zero-increase budget. "To cut this many teachers is insane," said Mindy Scutt, a Torrington parent, "I just feel like all the cuts in this budget are toward the kids," said Scutt. Other audience members, Scutt included, said that middle school students were already subject to 35-student algebra classes.
As for cuts to sports, many parents said they'd prefer pay-to-play over no program at all.
"I'm willing to pay, I'm willing to pay for my child to have a well-rounded education," said Penny Fisher, a mother of two Torrington schools children. Others noted college acceptance is difficult without sports participation.
How much pay-to-play would cost individual students was not discussed. Budget committee members made it clear, however, that the cuts may need to come from sports.
"The reality is, I can't sit here and justify putting 30 kids in middle school classes, 25 kids in elementary school classes, cutting all of our support staff and spending half a million on sports, no matter how beneficial," said board member Fiona Cappabianca.
Football alone costs the district more than $64,000, for a five coach staff. For each student, football costs $1,060.37.
If some sports stay and some must go, cost may not be the only factor driving decisions. "We've had issues, we've had a lot of issues with football," said board member Christopher Rovero, who asked that staff members compile data of student athlete's academic performance.
The district could face more unknown and additional costs. If Washington D.C.'s across the board spending cuts, known as the "sequestration," are allowed to pass, Torrington school officials say they stand to lose $191,000.
If Hartford requires schools to place school resource officers, known as SROs, in every school building, Torrington officials are expecting the law to result in an unfunded mandate costing the district $510,000. The district is also facing close to $1 million in net cuts in federal and state aid.

(a) To cause such examination and survey for its proposed railroad or any extension or lateral or branch line, to be made as may be necessary to the selection of the most advantageous route, and for such purpose such company or its officers, agents, engineers or employees, may enter upon the lands or waters of any person or corporation; but subject to responsibility for all damages occasioned thereby.

Kids these days have all the fun. It's bad enough they have cellphones and high speed access to the internet, but now they get to fulfill one of my lifelong dreams - beating a cop at video games.
The video above is a report from ABC affiliate K2TV in Cheyenne Wyoming, about their third annual 'Rock a Cop' event. The event was meant to build relationships between local police and young kids. And hey, it looks like it worked, with one kid saying "It was great, and they were awesome".
Oh sure kid. You say that now, but wait until officer Broadhead catches you smoking pot behind the middle school with all your punk friends, then he realizes you were the 10 year old that tea-bagged him in that game of Halo so many years ago. I bet he won't seem so awesome then, huh?
Seriously though local police; more of this.

Checking in on… the WACPosted by jstevrtc on January 29th, 2010
Sam Wasson of bleedCRIMSON.net and Travis Mason-Bushman of Vandal Nation are the RTC correspondents for the Western Athletic Conference.
At the halfway point of the conference race, Louisiana Tech continues to lead, posting a 6-1 record. A showdown between Louisiana Tech and New Mexico State looms large on Saturday. A victory by the Aggies could thrust the league into a three-way tie for first if Utah State is able to defeat a suddenly surging San Jose State squad. Utah State remains hot as they've gone from last place after the first weekend to a tie for second place at the midway point. Meanwhile the race to stay out of the WAC basement is currently a three-team battle between Boise State, Idaho and Hawai'i. The Broncos are currently the odd team out but notched an important victory over in-state rival Idaho earlier in the week in the first of two meetings between the schools.
Current Standings:
1) Louisiana Tech, 18-3 (6-1)
T2) New Mexico State, 12-8 (5-2)
T2) Utah State, 14-6 (5-2)
4) San Jose State 12-8 (5-3)
5) Nevada 12-8 (4-3)
6) Fresno State, 11-11 (4-4)
T7) Idaho, 9-10 (2-6)
T7) Hawai'i, 9-12 (2-6)
9) Boise State, 10-11 (1-7)
At the midway point there are several excellent candidates for Midseason Player of the Year. Instead of choosing a midseason POY and angering eight other fanbases in the process, we instead submit the Top 10 scorers and rebounders in the league (conference games only). Surprisingly, Utah State, tied for second place and certainly the league's hottest team, has no player in the Top 10 in either scoring or rebounding.
Leading Scorers (Conference Games Only):
1. Adrian Oliver, SJSU – 25.1 PPG
2. Luke Babbitt, NEV – 24.7 PPG
3. Jahmar Young, NMSU – 22.9 PPG
4. Kyle Gibson, LT – 21.6 PPG
5. Jonathan Gibson, NMSU – 19.9 PPG
6. Paul George, FS – 17.7 PPG* (Injured, expected to be out 2-3 weeks)
7. Mac Hopson, ID – 17.5 PPG
8. Sylvester Seay, FS – 15.9 PPG
9. Magnum Rolle, LT – 15.4 PPG
10. Brandon Fields, NEV – 15.3 PPG
Leading Rebounders (Conference Games Only):
1. Luke Babbitt, NEV – 10.7 RPG
2. Magnum Rolle, LT – 10.3 RPG
3. Wendell McKines, NMSU – 10.0 RPG
4. Chris Oakes, SJSU – 9.4 RPG
5. Ike Okoye, BSU – 8.8 RPG
6. Hamidu Rahman, NMSU – 8.3 RPG
7. Dario Hunt, NEV – 7.3 RPG
8. Brandon Adams, UH – 7.0 RPG TIED WITH Olu Asaolu, LTU – 7.0 RPG
9. Greg Smith, FS – 6.9 RPG
Team Breakdowns:
Boise State (10-11, 1-7)
The week's results: 01/25 W @ Idaho, 77-67 (OT)
Upcoming games: 01/30 vs. Fresno State
The Broncos finally notched a conference win, and it was a big one. Boise State traveled to Moscow, ID to face their in-state rival Idaho and the Broncos stunned the home team. Anthony Thomas hit a contested three pointer as time expired to send the game to overtime where they dominated the extra period. Boise State's win saw them rally from a nine point second half deficit, and the win keeps the Broncos just one game behind Hawai'i and Idaho as they try to avoid missing the conference tournament. Up next for the Broncos is a game against an up and down Fresno State squad who is playing without their leading scorer, Paul George.
Fresno State (11-11, 4-4)
The week's results: 01/23 W vs. Nevada, 87-77; 01/28 L @ Idaho, 74-59
Upcoming games: 01-30 @ Boise State
The Bulldogs split a pair of games this week, but it was not what anyone expected. The Bulldogs lost their leading scorer, Paul George, last week in the first half against Utah State and were soundly beaten by the Aggies. Just two nights later, the Bulldogs hosted Nevada in what was sure to be another sound beating. However, the Bulldogs rose up and stunned the visiting Wolf Pack, 87-77, behind a big night from Greg Smith (25 points, 11 rebounds, 5 assists). Unfortunately for the Bulldogs, they came crashing back down to earth when they traveled to Idaho. The Bulldogs were beaten badly by the Vandals, losing 74-59. The Bulldogs trailed by just two at halftime a 6-0 run by the Vandals to start the half put the Bulldogs in a hole of which they couldn't dig out. Up next for the Bulldogs is a trip to Boise, ID to face the Broncos.
Hawaii (9-12, 2-6)
The week's results: 01/24 L vs Louisiana Tech, 65-60; 01/28 L @ San Jose State, 83-60
Upcoming games: 01/30 @ Nevada
The Warriors have lost three in a row and now sit tied with Idaho in seventh place in the league. The Warriors hung tough with league leader Louisiana Tech in a home game, falling 65-60. The Warriors were down just two with 34 seconds to play but could get no closer. A rematch against San Jose State gave the Warriors their third straight loss after beating San Jose State 66-65 in overtime in Honolulu. The Warriors led just once at 7-6, but could not stop the Spartans. Things don't get any easier for the Warriors as they travel to Reno to take on Nevada.
Idaho (9-10, 2-7)
The week's results: 01/23 L vs. Utah State, 60-48; 01/25 L vs. Boise State, 77-67 (OT); 01/28 W vs. Fresno State, 74-59
Upcoming games: 01/30 @ Seattle; 02/03 @ Utah State
The Vandals snapped a six game losing streak with a victory over shorthanded Fresno State, winning handily, 74-59. The victory helped erase the pain of giving up a nine point lead late in the game against in-state rival Boise State and a hard fought 60-48 loss to Utah State. The Vandals' victory over Fresno State was an important win in the league race as they moved into a tie with Hawai'i for 7th place in the league and strengthened their hopes of making the conference tournament. Idaho steps out of conference play with a game at Seattle before heading back to Logan, UT to face the USU Aggies.
Louisiana Tech (18-3, 6-1)
The week's results: 01/24 W @ Hawai'i, 65-60
Upcoming games: 01/30 vs. New Mexico State; 02/04 vs. San Jose State
The Bulldogs continue to lead the WAC race as they picked up a victory over Hawai'i, 65-60. Magnum Rolle scored 23 points and grabbed a career-high 17 rebounds. Kyle Gibson scored 19 points and Jamel Guyton recorded his first career double-double with 14 points and 11 rebounds. The Bulldogs host the New Mexico State Aggies as they attempt to stay in solo first place in the league standings. Following their date with the Aggies, the suddenly hot San Jose State Spartans come to town.
Nevada (12-8, 4-3)
The week's results: 01/23 L @ Fresno State, 87-77
Upcoming games: 01/30 vs. Hawai'i
The Wolf Pack were stunned by a short-handed Fresno State squad and they missed a golden opportunity to move into a tie for second place with New Mexico State and Utah State. Luke Babbitt scored 29 points and grabbed 10 rebounds in the loss. The Wolf Pack will try to rebound when they host Hawai'i.
New Mexico State (12-8, 5-2)
The week's results: 01/23 L @ San Jose State, 93-84
Upcoming games: 01/30 @ Louisiana Tech
The Aggies had their four game win streak snapped by San Jose State as the two teams had a shootout. Jahmar Young scored a career-high 34 points in the loss and the Aggies dropped into a tie for second place with Utah State. The Aggies finish up a three game road trip with a trip to Ruston, LA to take on league-leading Louisiana Tech.
San Jose State (12-8, 5-3)
The week's results: 01/23 W vs. New Mexico State, 93-84; 01/28 W vs. Hawai'i, 83-60
Upcoming games: 01/30 @ Utah State; 02/04 @ Louisiana Tech
The Spartans knocked off New Mexico State in a shootout and then exacted revenge for a last-second loss at Hawai'i. The Spartans have won three in a row (and four out of five) but their hot streak will get a stiff test as they face Utah State in Logan, and then Louisiana Tech in Ruston. Adrian Oliver was named the WAC Player of the Week for his 39-point performance against Louisiana Tech, and 22-point performance against New Mexico State. He added a 31-point performance against Hawai'i.
Utah State (15-6, 5-2)
The week's results: 01/23 W @ Idaho, 60-48
Upcoming games: 01/30 vs. San Jose State; 02/03 vs. Idaho

Q&A: Chad Lilly
The director of recruiting at Lextech Global Services discusses ways to spot truly exceptional developers during interviews.
Presented with two developers who look equally good on paper, how can a hiring manager go about choosing between them? It is always hard to choose between great developers, especially when looking at them on paper. The true test is how a developer will work in yourenvironment. You have to have both candidates meet the team and see them in your environment. The team has the best feel for what traits work well within its own group, and those traits are not going to show up on paper. Paper shows the tools and gives some insight via past projects. But it does not always demonstrate the process or the efficiencies employed in completing projects.
What other ways do you suggest to test skills that don't necessarily appear on a resume? There are many ways to put candidates in situations that may simulate real project scenarios. Taking a candidate out to lunch with members of the team to evaluate how the candidate and the team members interact is one way. You can also ask candidates to tell you about their hobbies or interests outside of the position you are interviewing for. That helps you understand a bit more about the candidates as people, of course, but it will also give you an idea about how well they are able to explain concepts they know a great deal about. Are they able to explain things succinctly and clearly, or do they end up somewhere far outside of the audience's comprehension without even realizing it?
What would you say to a hiring manager who says he would rather go with his gut because, though all of this sounds great, it's too time-consuming? Going with your gut is great -- if your gut is right more than 90% of the time and if your team has no problem with that approach. The larger the team, the more you have to bring others into the hiring process.
Think about this: Would you deliver software to your customer without testing it? You know that the more thorough the testing is, the better the chance of success for your project. Well, that's true whether your project is delivering great functionality to your customers or hiring a new member for your team. There has to be a balance between your gut and other tests, because great candidates don't stay on the market long.
And one more thing: Yes, it's more time-consuming to go through the steps that will help you find the right hire, but doing so up front is more efficient than hiring a few poor fits and starting the process all over again.

Traditional Barbacoa and Beyond at Vera's Backyard Bar-B-Que in Brownsville, TX
Vera's Backyard Bar-B-Que has a certain mystique among barbecue lovers. Although it seems like every taco truck in Texas sells barbacoa, Vera's is the last commercial vendor in the country selling the traditional version of this specialty from the Rio Grande Valley. It's the real thing—whole cattle heads smoked over mesquite in an underground pit. Today most health departments in Texas cities have banned this cooking method, which is rooted in ranching traditions, but Vera's has been grandfathered in.
What I had at Vera's was like nothing I've ever had before. Located in Brownsville, at the southernmost tip of Texas on the Mexican border, Vera's doesn't have a website or any Yelp review, which only adds to its legend. Over the years, I've asked for advice about visiting Vera's. Barbecue expert Daniel Vaughn told me to get there early—"the earlier the better" (Vera's famously opens at 4:30am), but others said "it's closed" or "the owner doesn't want people from out of town going there." I had no choice but to make the long drive to Brownsville to see for myself.
My fears evaporated as soon as I set foot in the door around 6:45am. The owner, Mando Vera, put me at ease right away with his warm welcome and friendly manner. When I asked, "Why do you open so early?" he shrugged and answered simply, "It's just a tradition, that's the way it's always been done." He's routinely gets up at 3:30am to face the day.
Born and raised in Brownsville, Vera has always worked at the business that his father established in 1955. His wife and children typically work there, too, but the day I visited, his assistant Beto was helping out. Although they're open only on weekends, Vera says Sundays are the busiest days.
Holding court at his regular table, Vera can see his regulars as they exit their cars. He gives Beto a heads-up on their order before they even enter the building, calling out "dos libras y media de cachete" or "una libra de lengua." There's a sign apologizing to customers that the prices have gone up due to the drought: "The price of beef has gone up 90% in the last few years." "I'm hoping I can drop prices a little bit soon," Vera says, but still, $8.95 to $10.50 per pound for traditional barbacoa sounds more than reasonable to me.
After Vera cleans the heads and smokes them in an underground pit for 8 to 10 hours, he separates the meat into cheeks, tongue, eyes, and mixta, aka everything else that's leftover. "The eyes are the most popular. We usually sell out by 9 o'clock," Vera says. "We call it Mexican caviar," he laughs, noting its reputation as a delicacy.
Vera sensed my interest, so he scooped an eye out of the steamer. It was even larger and more intimidating than I expected, but he assured me that they removed the eyeballs before smoking. I took a deep breath and bit into it. The texture was sticky, almost gluey. It was all muscle—not dry, but also not at all moist. The flavor wasn't so bad, but it still wasn't my favorite thing to eat before 8am.
"But me, I like the mixta the best." Mando says. I have to agree—the finely chopped mixta is the most flavorful of all the categories. I wouldn't call the meat gamey at all, but it was the most savory and flavorful, and I appreciated the crispy bits distributed throughout. In contrast, the smoked cheeks disintegrated into long shreds with a delicate smoky crust. The meat was firm and ultimately had the vague flavor of a good pot roast, without any of the heaviness that I usually associate with barbacoa.
Although I enjoyed some the larger pieces of tongue that were still intact, most of it turned to mush during the smoking process. All of the meat had an unmistakable mesquite flavor with a pervasive smokiness that was slightly sweet and metallic. If I were to eat this meat plain with just a fork, it would definitely need some salt. But eaten the way it's supposed to be eaten, in taco form with fresh salsa and corn tortillas, it's just about perfect.
After I'd eaten the barbacoa, Vera eagerly took me into the kitchen to show me a pot of simmering carnitas. He dropped a few of the golden nuggests, still dripping with lard, into a paper boat. I let them cool, and then bit into one—it was crisp on the outside, and oozing in the middle. I told him they were the best carnitas I've ever had, and he assured me the secret is completely immersing them in the lard. "That's what some of my customers told me, and we give them what they want."

Later this summer Vera plans to drive his daughter back to school in the Midwest. As his kids grow up and leave Brownsville, I can't help but wonder how long this unique operation will stay in business. The old smokehouse on the property is currently undergoing renovations, and barbacoa is being smoked off-site. Vera didn't seem optimistic that it would be completed soon. Should you find yourself in Brownsville someday, be sure to stop by Vera's before 9am. You'll want to try everything, because who knows when you'll have the chance again.

- The Quangsheng blades are T10 Carbon steel instead of A2 as used by Lie Nielsen. Some reviews have stated the Quangsheng blades are incredibly sharp and possibly sharper than A2 steel and hold a good edge.
- The Lie Nielsen planes use bronze lever caps with the Quangsheng ones being brushed steel.
- Lie Nielsen offer high angle frogs - whereas the only Quangsheng option would be putting a back bevel on the blade. I guess it's possible that the Lie Nielsen frogs might fit the Quangsheng planes?
All in all they sound like a good buy...BUT ... would I regret buying them down the line?

Nina (Portman) is a ballerina in a New York City ballet company whose life, like all those in her profession, is completely consumed with dance. She lives with her obsessive former ballerina mother Erica (Hershey) who exerts a suffocating control over her. When artistic director Thomas Leroy (Cassel) decides to replace prima ballerina Beth MacIntyre (Ryder) for the opening production of their new season, Swan Lake, Nina is his first choice. But Nina has competition: a new dancer, Lily (Kunis), who impresses Leroy as well. Swan Lake requires a dancer who can play both the White Swan with innocence and grace, and the Black Swan, who represents guile and sensuality. Nina fits the White Swan role perfectly but Lily is the personification of the Black Swan. As the two young dancers expand their rivalry into a twisted friendship, Nina begins to get more in touch with her dark side - a recklessness that threatens to destroy her.

Technology innovation and futuristic strategies based on key mega trends will be crucial for success, finds Frost & Sullivan
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Aug. 13, 2014 /PRNewswire/ — Interest in telecom infrastructure and network expansion in emerging regions across the globe is fuelling investments in direct current (DC) power systems. Opportunities will be ample in Southeast Asia, Africa and the Middle East, where new network build outs and expansion of existing networks are driving demand for DC power systems. Mature markets in the regions of North America and Western Europe are expected to be less lucrative.
Emerging regions worldwide are actively expanding telecom infrastructures which primarily rely on direct current power.
New analysis from Frost & Sullivan, Analysis of the Global DC Power Systems Market, finds that the market earned revenues of $3.96 billion in 2013 and estimates this to reach $5.08 billion in 2020. The study covers low-power, medium-power, and high-power DC systems. Medium-power DC systems have consistently displayed higher growth rates than the other two segments.
For complimentary access to more information to this research, please visit: http://bit.ly/1BbQNat.
"The telecom segment will continue to be the dominant end-user for DC power systems globally," said Frost & Sullivan Energy & Environmental Senior Industry Analyst Anu Elizabeth Cherian. "To avoid excessive dependence on the telecom segment, DC power system manufacturers could popularize the high-voltage DC concept in the enterprise and data center markets."
Nonetheless, lack of product differentiation makes it difficult to penetrate new end-user segments. Market maturity, increased consolidation, and intense price competition add to manufacturers' woes.
"DC power system manufacturers must actively innovate to enhance efficiency, provide superior configurations to customers, and boost versatility as well as the cost competitiveness of their products," noted Cherian. "Combining this with a focus on the mega trends revolving around economic growth, infrastructure build-outs, and urbanization to formulate appropriate futuristic strategies will be essential to attain higher traction in this mature market."
Analysis of the Global DC Power Systems Market is part of the Power Supplies & Batteries (http://www.powersupplies.frost.com) Growth Partnership Service program. Frost & Sullivan's related studies include: Analysis of the Global Lithium-ion Battery Market: Growth Opportunities and Market Outlook, Analysis of the North American Generator Set Market, Global UPS Services Market, and Analysis of the Global Data Center Uninterruptible Power Supplies Market.

danny yoo
Bought an AP Perpetual Calender from Gabriel at Sky Diamonds. By far the smoothest transaction I have experienced. Could not criticize one part of the process. Very reputable and they live up to their word. Definitely will buy from Gabriel again
Sarah C.
Would definitely purchase from SkyDiamonds again!! It was my very first time purchasing an incredibly expensive item online and I was very nervous! However, SkyDiamonds was very reassuring- They were super responsive and easy to communicate with throughout the entire purchase process of the Patek Philippe watch I purchased from them! It arrived exactly as described! Beautiful!

Parents Say Anonymous Survey Went Too Far
A controversial sex survey landed one Rio Rancho biology teacher on paid leave.
Click Like For New Mexico News Updates:
A four-question survey was supposed to be a study to teach ninth-grade biology students at Rio Rancho High School about disease and infection, instead it has raised some eyebrows, and parents said they should have been notified if something like this was being given to students.
The students took the anonymous sex survey, without their parents' knowledge.
"I wouldn't have agreed to any of this," said parent Paul Bustamante.
The district said the survey was intended to be used school-wide to teach students about how disease spreads, but some parents said it went a little too far because it asks students if there were sexually active and whom they had last kissed.
"I think it's too much for kids to be involved in that stuff, to even experience in that stuff. They're too young for that," Bustamante said.
On Monday, two students came forward to say the survey has been around for years and was created by the students themselves.
The students said while parents may not have known about it, school leaders had known about it for some time.
"The school knows about it. We got the names and the numbers of all the students in school from the principal," former student Kailie Peters said.
She said the survey was just a simple way to teach her science class about infectious disease.
"We printed it, we typed it up, we went and talked to other teachers to see if we could go in during other classrooms to get other students to take it," Peters said.
She said the survey asked students: who they kissed, if they shared drinks and Chapstick and if they are sexually active.
"It's been taken by hundreds of kids -- probably thousands -- since it's gone through two graduating classes so far," Peters said. "It's all voluntary and it's all anonymous."
A current student, Ashton Peters, said he's part of the group of students handing out the survey this year.
"If they didn't want to, they didn't have to," student Ashton Peters said.
The students said it's time to stop blaming a teacher and start talking about disease.
"Stop trying to be political and watch over their own jobs and stand up for their teachers," Peters said.
The students argue that while some parents think the children are too young for the material, in the meantime there are 12- and 14-year-old girls getting pregnant.
The students said the lack of education and awareness of those issue raise more questions than the survey does.
The school system responded, saying the principal was aware of surveys in the past; but this one was different and he wasn't aware of the specific questions.
Rio Rancho School District spokeswoman Kim Vessley said the district is investigating to determine whether the teacher will be disciplined. Vessley said the student handbook and district policies clearly state that any type of survey that discusses sexual behaviors must have parental consent.
"There are many appropriate ways teachers can teach subjects. Perhaps this way was not the most appropriate way," Vessley said.
"It would probably be a good idea to at least inform the parents," said school volunteer Diane Swinney.
The district said it's unclear just how many students took the survey.
The teacher will remain on paid leave until the investigation wraps up, officials said.

Paleo Fresh Spring Rolls are a fun, grain-free way to make spring rolls. Substitute collard wraps for rice paper.
The other day, I wanted fresh spring rolls. Badly. I also happened to be staring at the collard greens in the grocery store and this idea was born.
I know you love quick and easy recipes, but I'll be honest. This one is a bit more labor intensive because there is more cutting / chopping than usual and it depends which sauce(s) you make on the side. I could see these being an awesome weekend treat or something neat to bring to a summer party.
Can You Prepare These Fresh Spring Rolls Ahead?
All the components can also be prepped ahead of time and refrigerated for a day or two before use.
The really cool part is that the kelp noodles look just like the vermicelli that comes in fresh spring rolls, but if you can't find them, you could surely leave them out.
Dipping Sauce For These Paleo Fresh Spring Rolls
I served my rolls with Umami Mayo but I think they'd be killer with Melissa Joulwan's Sunshine Sauce, my Paleo Sweet and Sour Sauce or my Paleo Sweet Chili Dipping Sauce on the side for dipping. Dipping rules.
Paleo Fresh Spring Rolls (Gluten-Free)
Paleo Fresh Spring Rolls are a fun, grain-free way to make spring rolls. Substitute collard wraps for rice paper.
- 1 bunch large collard greens you need one whole leaf per roll
- 4 oz raw shrimp medium-sized, peeled and deveined
- 1 carrot thinly sliced
- 1/2 cucumber seeds removed and thinly sliced
- 2 green onions dark green tops removed and thinly sliced
- 1 bunch fresh mint or basil or cilantro leaves
- 1 package kelp noodles you'll use about half, optional
- 1/4 cup Umami Mayo for dipping, optional
- You'll need to blanch the collard leaves so they become more pliable and lose some of their bitter flavor (this can be done ahead of time). Set up a large bowl with ice water. Bring a very large pot of water to boiling. Dip the WHOLE collard leaves in the boiling water for 1 minute. Immediately place them in the ice water to cool and stop the cooking process. Drain and set aside.
- Peel and devein the shrimp, if needed. Into a small skillet over medium heat, place the raw shrimp and 2-3 tablespoons of water. Cover and steam until the shrimp are pink, about 2 minutes. Set aside to cool. Slice in half from head to tail.
- Rinse and drain the kelp noodles. Set aside.
- Prepare the carrot, cucumber and green onion. How thinly you slice them depends on how much chewing you want to be involved.
- Now that the collard leaves are cool, remove the tough stem with a sharp knife by cutting upward toward the top of the leaf in an upside-down V shape. The leaves will roll better.
- Now assemble a wrap: Lay the collard leaf on a flat surface. Place two halves of shrimp at the top of the leaf.
- Next, put a small amount of kelp noodles (a little less than a ¼ cup worked for me). On top of the shrimp.
- Now you're ready to wrap, burrito-style. Gently but with a bit of pressure, roll from the shrimp end toward the stem end.
- Once you've rolled over once, fold in the sides and then finish rolling all way down.
- Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
- Slice each wrap in half and serve cold with your choice of dipping sauces, if desired.
Pin these Paleo Fresh Spring Rolls for later!

Even if you're not usually frightened by snakes, it's hard not to feel intimidated by a Gaboon Viper (Bitis gabonica). Just look at its skull. With fangs that can reach up to five centimeters in length, Gaboons are reportedly the largest vipers on earth, and the toothiest of all venomous snakes.
"The Gaboon viper is just weird. So delicate," explains Simon Winchester, author of the newly published — and aptly named — photobook, Skulls. "It looks dangerous even as a skull, with its great big fangs."

Matt Perren has vision, patience, and good taste in music. The result of these talents is the above video, which features Perren transforming three years of self-portrait photos into a music video where he lipsyncs Queen's "Don't Stop Me Now" while aging three years in less than a minute... and then back.
I'm giving him bonus points for not going the obvious route and choosing Bowie's "Changes."
