UPDATED 8:51 p.m.: A freight train carrying hazardous chemicals and a variety of other materials collided with a truck northeast of Baltimore on Tuesday, injuring the truck driver and sparking a fire, authorities said.
About 15 CSX Corp train cars derailed shortly after 2 p.m. EDT (1800 GMT) near White Marsh, Maryland, and caught fire, sending a thick column of black smoke into the air, TV pictures showed.
The driver of the truck struck by the train was sent to a Baltimore shock trauma center in serious condition, the Baltimore County Police and Fire Department said in a statement. Two CSX workers on the train were unhurt, it said.
At least one of the rail cars contained sodium chlorate, an oxidizer used in a variety of industrial processes, CSX said in a statement. The U.S. Department of Transportation classifies sodium chlorate as a hazardous material, according to CSX.
The train, being pulled by two locomotives, had 45 rail cars that also contained products such as lumber and printing paper, according to CSX.
A police and fire spokeswoman said people were advised to leave a nearby 20-block area, with those staying behind urged to keep windows closed and air conditioners off.
It was the third significant rail crash in the United States in the past two weeks. On Saturday, two freight trains operated by BNSF Railway Co and Union Pacific Corp crashed at a rail intersection in rural Missouri, injuring seven people.
That accident came a little more than a week after a Metro North commuter train derailed near Fairfield, Connecticut. That accident injured more than 70 people and shut down traffic on one of the most heavily traveled passenger rail corridors in the United States.
On Friday, an interstate highway bridge in a rural part of Washington state collapsed after a truck carrying a large load hit a support beam. The collapse sent vehicles and drivers tumbling into a frigid river.
The CSX train involved in Tuesday's incident was traveling from Selkirk, New York, to Waycross, Georgia. An investigation is underway, CSX said.

A weekly feature in which author Benoit Denizet-Lewis follows the fortunes of the only BCS school to have sucked so consistently and spectacularly that it has never made the NCAA tournament, Northwestern. Current record: 11-3. Tournament prospects: Goodish.
Last week: @Illinois, L, 89-83 (OT); Michigan State, L, 91-70; Texas-Pan American, W, 53-44
Upcoming: @Michigan, Wisconsin
Thank God for Texas-Pan American. The Broncs (what kind of ridiculous name is that, anyway?), who are 1-16 and significantly worse than that record might suggest, came north last night and did their best Washington Generals impression, thus ending one of the most depressing stretches of my pathetic, Northwestern-loving life.
It all started in the conference opener last Thursday, when the Wildcats, ranked for the first time since Dick Vitale was scaring high school kids as a coach in New Jersey, lost a thriller in overtime at Illinois. Baby-faced NU sophomore John Shurna, who is quickly becoming the Big Ten's most lovable new star, scored 27 points en route to his second Big Ten Player of the Week honor, but the Wildcats couldn't stop Illinois center Mike Tisdale, who scored 31 points and seemed to talk shit after every one. Note to Mike: You're an average, skinny, blindingly white Big Ten center who looks like he should be answering the Addams family's door. Shut the hell up.
Bright and early on New Year's Day, only a few hours after Kathy Griffin asked Anderson Cooper for his "safe word" on CNN, Northwestern's football team lost a wild, heartbreaking overtime game against Auburn, which followed last year's wild, heartbreaking overtime game against Missouri. Sure, the Auburn game made for great television, and Pat Fitzgerald's ballsy decision to go for a fake field goal to win in OT earned him some props, but none of that changes the fact that Northwestern still hasn't won a bowl game since 1949. And next year, when the Wildcats make another bowl despite being discounted by everyone who somehow forgets that we've won more Big Ten championships in the last 15 years than Penn State, Wisconsin, and Iowa, we will have to hear about the bowl drought all over again, complete with those damn grainy black-and-white highlights.
But back to basketball. The week from hell continued on Saturday, when NU's hoopsters got crushed at home by Michigan State on the night that Sports Illustrated's Chris Ballard came to check them out. Shurna had another brilliant game (29 points, six rebounds, four assists), but the Cats, who shocked the Spartans last year in East Lansing, got demolished down low and fell behind big in the second half.
NU has a big problem with its big men. The starter, Serb Luka Mirkovic, shows promise but too often is a marshmallow around the basket, and sometimes I wish the student section would yell impolite things about his mother or his country, just to see if he can get angry. The same goes for the backup, Kyle Rowley, from Trinidad and Tobago, who is very big and very tall (7 feet, 280 pounds) but seems thoroughly uninterested in dunking a basketball.
Still, as dumbfounding and disheartening at this last week was, Northwestern's chances of making the tournament are still good. (And I'm not even on crack this week.) The Cats are 11-3 and must somehow survive the brutal first half of the conference slate (Wisconsin, Purdue, Ohio State) and then win more than they lose in the second half.
This will happen. This must happen. My therapist is currently on an inexcusable three-week vacation, meaning that if Northwestern loses to both Michigan and Wisconsin in the next week, someone will have to call Dr. Drew and tell him to cart me off to rehab.

As if we need more Jewish guilt…
Who would ever think that popular brand baby bottles, pacifiers, and toys could possibly be dangerous to our kids health?
This week, Earth Day prompts us all to be aware of the chemicals in the environment and in our homes.
Pregnancy and early childhood are critical times in babies' lives because they are growing and developing so rapidly. During this time they are vulnerable to elements in their environment, and we as parents should protect them as much as possible from exposure to potentially harmful substances.
PolyVinyl Chloride (PVC) is a hard plastic that requires harsh chemical softeners, such as phthalates, to make it appropriate for use in soft plastic baby toys such as squirty toys.
Bisphenol-A (BPA) is used in hard, clear plastics sometimes used in baby toys to prevent breakage.
In 2003 it was shown that products manufactured with PVC and BPA were shown to disrupt reproductive functions and cause other developmental problems.
Make sure your baby products are also Nitrosamine free: Nitrosamines are found in latex products such as some infant teethers. They have been shown to cause cancer in many animals. Make sure all your teethers and soothers are nitrosamine free.
Check out the items below. Do your research, and be informed.

This. Address the issues, game is in terrible shape right now, nobody plays Medics, Recons are trash, Tanks are trash, SMGs are peashooters, can't even afford CC to upgrade a vehicle because I get almost none, bugs of all kinds all over the place. Bug fixes is all I care for right now.hawkseye17 wrote: »You're missing one crucial thing: the patch we all so desperately need
Along with all of the core gameplay issues and underpowered weapons, largely decreasing or just eliminating lag compensation would benefit a majority of the players. It's 2019 and most people have access to a solid internet connection, so stop punishing those who do by giving the players with poor connection an unfair advantage. Most people have a good internet connection and some don't, that's life. Lag compensation is the equivalent of a participation trophy.

Last week, Yahoo banned employees from working from home.
How did CEO Marissa Mayer decide to make such a controversial decision?
According to a source, the only way Mayer is comfortable making any decision: with the help of data.
Like a lot of companies, Yahoo has something called a Virtual Private Network or VPN. Remote workers can use it to securely log into Yahoo's network and do work.
(LifeHacker has a really good explanation of what a VPN is.)
After spending months frustrated at how empty Yahoo parking lots were, Mayer consulted Yahoo's VPN logs to see if remote employees were checking in enough.
Mayer discovered they were not — and her decision was made.
Kara Swisher first reported the news that Mayer was showing executives Yahoo's VPN logs to justify her work-from-home ban.
Mayer is famously obsessed with metrics and data.
Once, a Google designer quit the company in a huff because he was tired of how Mayer, in charge of how Google.com homepage looked, would choose design elements like color or font not based on taste, but raw data.
For every design variable, she looked at how users interacted with Google with one design — and then the other.
If the data showed users were using Google.com faster one way instead of the other, that particular design choice won out.
It's hard to argue that Mayer's process didn't work for Google. It was not the first search engine on the market, but it's just about the only one anybody uses now.
Likewise, we're hearing from people close to Yahoo executives and employees that she made the right decision banning work from home.
"The employees at Yahoo are thrilled," says one source close to the company.
"There isn't massive uprising. The truth is, they've all been pissed off that people haven't been working."

Updated Seagate's i365 has added near-real-time EVault data protection offerings for small businesses, along with a disaster recovery service, plus a mirrored Maxtor backup storage server for the do-it-yourselfers.
DIY Backup
The single-drive Maxtor Central Axis external storage box announced in June has gained a brother, a twin-drive product sold in mirrored (RAID 1) configuration. This Central Axis Business Edition (CABE) comes with two 1TB drives, meaning 1TB of usable space, and support for up to twenty networked servers running Windows XP or Vista, or Mac OS X. Their data can be automatically backed up to the new box. Incremental backups are supported and a couple of USB ports means that an external drive can be connected to backup the Central Axis itself. External backup disks could be taken offsite in a rotation scheme to provide extra protection.
The other USB port could be used to hook up a shareable printer. A neat touch is that the CABE box can be securely accessed via a web browser to give remote access to your files. (No need for clunky FTP.) If a CABE drive fails then the customer can replace it himself.
Seagate is competing directly with its channel, the Buffalos, the La Cies, the Iomegas, for SOHO and SME small networked server business. How soon before it has a 3-drive array or a 4-drive one? It already has a network-attached storage (NAS) box in the shape of the Maxtor Shared Storage II (2X 1TGB SATA drives for $649.99 - say £445).
It's not going to compete with its server channel partners or its main storage array partners like EMC and NetApp but it is going full tilt into the external storage area for customers in the SME and below category.
Maxtor's CABE will be available
in November UPDATE - Seagate has pushed availability back to February 2009 - and no price was supplied. The 1TB single drive Central Axis can be found online for around £175 so expect a price between that and about £400.
Faster SME and SOHO protection services
Seagate's services company, i365, has added three new services to its EVault online backup and recovery software. They are for SMEs who want near-continuous protection and faster restoration. The Real Time Protection service will backup files with intervals as short as five minutes to offer a near-continuous protection service. It offers volume-level protection of Windows 2003, 2008, and XP with fast restoration of entire volumes or individual files from a local data store
System Restore is said to offer a recovery in minutes onto similar or dissimilar hardware, or a virtual machine. Ii is available as an extension to EVault Software or Real Time Protection which, in turn, is available as an extension to the main EVault software product. System Restore integrates directly with EVault backup products, and can recover system, applications and data in a single pass
Remote Disaster Recovery is a third new, and hosted, service and it comprises a warm standby site for a guided recovery and virtual access to servers when the supported site is down. Apparently operational systems and data can be recovered in 24-48 hours.
An ESG Research Report, Data Protection Market Trends, published in January, is cited by i365 to claim that more than half of mid-market organisations can only tolerate four hours or less of downtime before having significant revenue losses or other bad business news.
No pricing information was supplied, but the services are said to be available through i365.
Seagate, in the shape of i365, can now offer data protection software to safeguard against this, a service to provide disaster recovery and, through Maxtor, a mirrored twin disk product for people who want to protect themselves. For Seagate, third-party SME backup software and hardware is fair game for its competitive attack. ®

A couple of days ago, Julian asked me if I was going to teach him the ins and outs of creating Photographic Art. I can't express how happy it made me that he wanted to learn, and considering how awesome he is in everything he has accomplished for Photographic Art, I had no hesitation about teaching him and expecting him to pick it up very quickly.
So today, before he arrived for work, I picked a particularly troublesome photo to train him on. Here it is:
This had 12 problems associated with it and each problem allowed us to explore different facets of Photoshop.
0 – Perspective. It's obvious that I was standing on the ground looking up at the mural because everything seems to be tilted back. We corrected the perspective and then cropped the window at the right so that we had half a window on both sides.
- A little piece of something in the corner, probably an advertisement or a parking sign. We removed that.
- Glare from a light is noticeable. We had to clone that out to make that area blend in with the rest of the mural surroundings.
- A little imperfection in the stucco. We cloned that out.
- Glare in the window from lights elsewhere. We removed them.
- Two little dots which don't look like much here, but sometimes those little dots really stand out in the Photographic Art. We removed them.
- Four little dots. Removed.
- Part of a square something or other. Removed.
- Another imperfection in the stucco. Cloned.
- Another little part of a square something. Removed.
- It might be hard to see in this picture, but there is a wire that starts here, goes behind the mural, and shows up again up near 3. Removed.
- A flag pole holder. Removed.
- Stucco faded noticeably so we cloned it to make it more even with the rest of the stucco.
Here is our final product:
Some of the many Photoshop features/variations we used included:
- Crop Tool
- Perspective Crop Tool
- Clone Stamp Tool
- Spot Healing Brush Tool
- Rectangular Marquee Tool
- Fill, Content Aware
- Copy, Paste, Move
- Brush Tool
- Zoom Tool
- Image Size
- Canvas Size
So, whaddaya think of Julian's work? He certainly doesn't sleep on the job like my other partner:
Is Julian a keeper?
Do you have BWS?
I have the answer:
Visit Photographic Art by Russel Ray Photos at Fine Art America.
Looking for real estate services in San Diego County?
I can highly recommend James Frimmer, Realtor, CDPE
If you're looking for a home inspector,

The Illinois Prevailing Wage Act requires public bodies to pay all laborers, workers and mechanics performing work for a public works contract at least the prevailing rate of wages. If the Department of Labor (DOL) revises the prevailing rate of wages, the public body must apply the revised rate and provide notice of the change to the contractor and each subcontractor working on a public works contract.
A recent amendment to the Prevailing Wage Act, Public Act 97-0964 provides that public bodies may now provide the required notice regarding revisions in the prevailing wage rate by inserting a provision in the contract that states that the prevailing wage rates are revised by the DOL and available on its website. Thus, public bodies would not be required to provide notice every time the DOL revises a rate. Instead, the provision in the contract serves as the required notice.
Given this recent amendment, public bodies should include such a provision in all public works contracts.

At least I haven't seen this before. Maybe because the houses that host the dancers for the day have not been in my neighborhood. This time three were hosts all within two blocks of me.
The first day they start at the plaza and dance to the first hosts house with the hosts leading the way carrying a small shrine of the Virgin. When they get there they are treated to a large pot of pozole. The second night they dance from the first house to the next house hosting. Third night they dance between the next two houses. The number of nights might be limited by the number of willing hosts .... or it's always three? This could be indirectly connected to Dia de los Muertos. I'll have to ask.
Pinal Villa does have a "professional" dance group with fancier uniforms, kids more uniform in age and of both sexes. I assume these kids/girls are only for our community.

Very little kids in this group

Before Chael Sonnen, there was Joe Warren.
Both of the brash fighters have perfected the art of trash talk, though Sonnen's latest troll jobs have reached some epic proportions. (Just ask his opponents, the California State Athletic Commission or the country of Brazil.)
But Warren isn't ready to concede his title for MMA's biggest talker. Besides, he said, he never says anything that isn't true.
Warren (7-1 MMA, 5-0 BFC) meets 40-year-old Alexis Vila (9-0 MMA, 0-0 BFC) on Saturday in the opening round of Bellator's season-five bantamweight tournament. It kicks off at Bellator 51, which airs on MTV2 from Canton Memorial Civic Center in Canton, Ohio.
For Warren, Bellator's current featherweight champion, this season's tournament is an opportunity to claim a second title. And another chance to grab a mic and sing his own praises.
"I don't mean to be in people's faces," Warren told MMAjunkie.com Radio (www.mmajunkie.com/radio). "I'm just extremely confident. I try to stay confident, and sometimes I say more than I should. But it's always true. I don't say anything that isn't."
If that's true, Villa has reason to worry. Like Warren, a Pan American and world champion wrestler, Villa is a decorated amateur wrestler. But the fighter, who won a bronze medal in freestyle wrestling at the 1996 Summer Olympics, doesn't exactly concern Warren.
"He's 9-0, and he's knocked a bunch of 125-pounders out," the 34-year-old Warren said. "That doesn't scare me. But he's a wrestler, and he's as good as its gets. … But he's Cuban, and I'm used to beating up the Cubans. He's an old man, and he's going to run into a younger one.
"He has short arms, and he's a juiced up Cuban, so if you get hit by one of those shots, it'll probably hurt. … But if he wants to throw, he'll probably eat a few on the way in."
Warren was slated to defend his title against Patricio Freire back in July at Bellator 43, but "Pitbull" suffered an injury and forced the cancellation of the bout. That resulted in a five-month layoff.
"It was the best thing that ever happened to me," said Warren, who believes his extended training camp gave him time to greatly improve his game.
In fact, he said his confidence has never been higher. (And you thought he talked a big game before?) But Warren said his wife, not his training camp, is the main reason for that confidence. When the fighter told his better half he was getting nervous for recent fights, Mrs. Warren hit him some common sense.
"Why would you be nervous now?" she asked him. "You weren't nervous (in your early fights) when you had no technique."
Put it all together, and Warren is confident Saturday will be successful. After winning his first Bellator belt, he expects to win a second by the current tourney's conclusion. After that, his focus turns to a potential bid for the 2012 Olympics.
"It's one step a time," he said. "We need to beat the hell of this Cuban first and get to the second round."
And with that, Warren bid adieu.
"I'll talk to you again after I put a hole through a Cuban on Saturday," he said.

text: This is apparently a case of humpback whales trying to help a member of another cetacean species. This shows that they are capable of tremendous behavioral flexibility, giving even more credence to reports of cetaceans coming to the aid of human beings. They seem to have the capacity to generalize from one situation to another and from one kind of being to another. Moreover, they seem to sympathize with members of other species and have the motivation to help. One reason may be that humpback whales, and many other cetaceans, have specialized cells in their brains called Von Economo neurons ("spindle cells") and these are shared with humans, great apes, and elephants. The exact function of these elongated neurons is still unknown but they are found in exactly the same locations in all mammal brains for the species that have them. What is intriguing is that these parts of the mammal brain are thought to be responsible for social organization, empathy, speech, intuition about the feelings of others, and rapid "gut" reactions. So the presence of these cells is neurological support for the idea that cetaceans are capable of empathy and higher-order thinking and feeling. In either case these whales are apparently demonstrating a high level of sensitivity and concern (morality, if you will) that is laudable in any species.

He is too bullish about Geithner's plan and the "stress test." The stress test will not find or reveal the truth which is that the largest banks are holding and hiding trillions in derivatives that are many times their net worth. Goldman is going with the angle that they can handle any amount of leverage… good luck with that one, they'll need it.

State highway safety director reassigned following revelations of driving violations
The administration of Governor Deval Patrick, embarrassed by revelations that the state highway safety director has a driving record that includes seven accidents, four speeding violations and two failures to stop for a police officer, announced today that the director will be removed from that job.
Sheila Burgess, the top safety officer since 2007, is on medical leave recovering from an Aug. 24 one-car accident in Milton in which she drove off the road and suffered a head injury. She told police she swerved to avoid an oncoming vehicle in her lane.
Burgess will be assigned to a "different role'' within the state Office of Public Safety and Security, according to a statement released today by Mary Elizabeth Heffernan, the public safety secretary.
"Given her driving record, it is clear that Ms. Burgess should not have been hired as the director of Highway Safety in 2007,'' Heffernan said in the statement.
Burgess is a former fund-raising consultant to high-profile Democratic candidates for public office, including Congressman James McGovern, whose office said on Friday that McGovern asked the newly elected Patrick administration in 2007 to hire Burgess, but without suggesting a specific role for her. She is paid $87,000 annually.
Burgess had no experience in public safety, transportation or government administration when hired, according to her resume.
Heffernan called Burgess "a solid and dependable employee'' during the intervening years, but today, following a Globe story that revealed her driving record, said she no long has confidence in Burgess leading the state's efforts to reduce accidents by promoting good driving practices.
Burgess "cannot expect the public's trust, nor mine, as the directory of Highway Safety going forward,'' the statement says.
Burgess, 48, of Randolph, has 34 entries on her her record. Since her appointment to a state job, Burgess has faced no new moving motor vehicle violations, however.
Her license was active but flagged for non-renewal for failure to pay local excise taxes. Those taxes were paid and her license cleared on Nov. 1, after the Globe began making inquiries.
Heffernan's statement was released hours after Patrick, speaking to reporters at a public event unrelated to Burgess, said he was angry about her being hired as highway safety director and vowed to find out how it happened.
"I will get to the bottom on it,'' he said.
Burgess's most recent crash occurred on a sunny summer afternoon in a state vehicle during work hours. State Police say they arrived at the scene on Unquity Road in the Blue Hills Reservation to find Burgess being assisted by an ambulance crew.
The public safety department produced a record showing Burgess was not talking on her state-provided cellphone, but declined to release a summary of how many text messages, if any, she sent or received during that month's billing cycle. Such bills provide total number of text messages in the month, but do not say when the texts were sent or received.
Spokesmen for Patrick and Heffernan declined to comment on whether such paperwork will be released soon.
Until her accident, Burgess managed a staff of about six and helped award more than $2 million in grants to state and local police for public awareness programs on safe driving, including money for police overtime.
Those programs deal with the dangers of speeding, texting and talking on a cellphone while driving, driving while impaired, and failure to wear a seatbelt while driving, among other hazards.
In a resume circulated to staff members, Burgess listed herself as a principal of SBH Consulting/Mass Strategy Group, with a client list that included Lieutenant Governor Timothy Murray when he was a candidate for mayor of Worcester in 2003 and 2004. A spokesman for Murray's campaign, however, said Murray does not know Burgess and that she never worked for him. Murray does know Burgess's sister, Coleen, who worked as a fund-raising consultant for Murray, the spokesman said.
Coleen Burgess and Sheila Burgess are listed as president and registered agent, respectively, of Mass Strategy Group.
Other clients listed on Burgess's resume including Senator John Kerry, state Senator Tom McGee, former Quincy mayor James Sheets and former gubernatorial candidates Shannon O'Brien and Chris Gabrieli.

The National Teacher of the Year on what makes a great teacher
The class clown from Mr. Gadberry's high school art class has made good — and how. Rebecca Mieliwocki teaches seventh-grade English at Luther Burbank Middle School in Burbank — but not next year. Instead, she'll be on the road as the National Teacher of the Year. It took her a long time to get to the classroom — she once worked as a floral designer, doing the flowers for Elizabeth Taylor's private jet — and eventually to the White House, where a fellow teacher, President Obama, crowned her as a national teaching treasure. Before she takes off, Mieliwocki is speaking at commencement at her teaching alma mater, Cal State Northridge — and right here.
With all the tests kids face, some parents and teachers say there's only room to "teach to the test."
I really disagree. Those tests are so narrow that if you tried to teach kids just those things, they'd have a warped and weird education. The tests are a target I hope kids can hit, but I need to teach the whole back-story, everything they need to know: how to communicate, how to write clearly, how to stand up and sound intelligent, how to think critically. The test — my kids say, "I can do that."
But do some teachers teach differently since No Child Left Behind and Race to the Top?
I see the narrowing, staying so close to that test and the skills in that test. I think administrators do teachers a grave disservice when they make them feel that's what they should be doing. It is a little piece of the picture.
My best teachers might not get hired today. They were great, but they had some unorthodox teaching techniques.
You look at the new legislation, you listen to all the people who don't work with kids and are telling you what to do, and you nod and then you go to your classroom and dream up something amazing for kids that has very little to do with what you were just told you better do or else. That's what great teachers do: They're revolutionary. If we change to fit what somebody else says kids need and that person works in an office and hasn't seen a kid since 1992, we would not be giving kids what great teachers know they need.
Teachers are getting hammered politically.
I feel very battered. There's so much pressure on teachers to rescue what everyone paints as a sinking ship. We must be the ones who either caused it or have to fix it. Just doing the job is hard enough. But then to be blamed for everything that's wrong with education — it's upsetting, it's disheartening. Why would anybody enter a profession where the job is going to take everything out of you, the news media will be against you, parents may be against you, politicians may be against you? I worry about the future of the profession.
When a child has been sullen and disconnected and you find out mom and dad split up and you walk that kid to the counselor, do another hour of consoling, then go home and read an article calling teachers lazy, poorly prepared, unprofessional — it breaks my heart. I think, how can I be the problem?
How did that happen?
I think people need reassurance that their tax dollars aren't getting wasted, that something good is happening [at school] that can be measured. I understand that ferocious need, coupled with falling test scores, with the difficulty in removing teachers who aren't performing and the unions' unwillingness for a long time to look at how to change things — all those things made us ripe for the picking. Or the kicking.
Kids come to school from broken homes, not knowing left from right, not having a place to do homework, and teachers are forced to act as parents.
The priority has to be on learning. I have 52 minutes with kids every day. I think good teaches are almost like Zen masters: They just swat away distractions. But do I spend my lunches helping kids with their homework? Yes. Do I make sure kids have a ride home? Yes. Do I have a kid who's worn the same sweater for three weeks and it's dirty and I take it home and launder it? Yes. I'm seeing more hungry, hungry kids; it's troubling. I'm already spending half my paycheck on teaching supplies. Now the rest of it is going to sandwiches and granola bars and lunch money for kids who are hungry. That statistic that the average teacher spends $400 a year [on students] — I laughed. It's much closer to $2,000, $3,000. I keep track.
Your parents were both teachers, but you resisted.
I went to Cal Poly San Luis Obispo thinking I'd go on to law school. Once I got [through] college, I felt some obligation to get off my parents' gravy train. The idea of three more years of [law school] — I wasn't going to ask them to pay for that.
My first job was a publishing company in Boyle Heights, a compositor who put textbooks together. It was interesting, but it didn't call to me. On Saturdays I worked at a flower shop — that's the job I had through college. [Eventually] I went to work for Mark's Garden in Studio City — really exciting work, the Emmys, celebrity weddings. I decorated the Schwarzeneggers' house for Christmas before he was governor, designed Elizabeth Taylor's flowers for her airplane. It was fun, very L.A. But I felt, I can't do this the rest of my life. I made a list of everything I wanted in a job, being a project coordinator, being creative and in control of things I created, and when I showed my husband the list, he cracked up. He said, "I know you don't want to hear this, but you're supposed to be a teacher."
My parents were both teachers, and I spent a lot of time in my mom's classroom. I loved playing teacher. The mimeograph machine was amazing: hand-cranking the copies and that purply blue color and the smell — I just loved that. As soon as I came to my own classroom and began to run it, it felt so natural.
Do you have problems with the teacher seniority system?
I teach with a young woman named Stefanie. In her first three years, she was pink-slipped every single year due to budget cuts. Stefanie is phenomenal. She does more in one day than many teachers can accomplish in a week. She gets amazing results. What's more, kids, parents and her colleagues adore her. She's the teacher every family wants their child to have. And yet, because she's the newest one in, she's the first to get cut, while across campus, there are teachers who've taught for 20 years and who haven't had a new or engaging lesson in as many years. How can we justify firing the best and the brightest again and again while we let teachers who are phoning it in keep their jobs without question? We can't risk losing these highly qualified teachers simply because they had the misfortune to be new.
Is a good teacher a performer?
Oh definitely. You cannot be afraid to stand up in front of 30 really harsh critics. And inside of two minutes, they'll let you know: They'll put their heads down on the desk, almost give you a raspberry if your lesson stinks. So you have to be willing to take those risks every day.
Is a good class a fun class?
That's a child's perspective, and I don't ever want to be swayed by that. I want to challenge kids, and when you're learning something new, that element of exhilaration can be misconstrued as fun, and that's fine with me. There are things in life that deserve to be called fun; school should be something different. It should be challenging. You should experience success and failure.
What do you think of charter schools?
I see charter schools, magnet schools, private schools, the KIPP schools — I'm excited to know this many people are hard at work to transform education. But I'd rather we put all that time, money and energy into strengthening a system we already have, that at one time was the envy of the planet. I teach in a school that's doing what I think charter schools are trying to do. Why reinvent the wheel if the wheel works? We've just got to get them all rolling in the right direction.
How about social promotion?
It's got to stop. I think that we pass kids along and pass them along and it makes the burden for a teacher like me that much greater. We can't keep trying to play catch-up until a kid is in 12th grade; we just don't have the resources.
Do we need a longer school day or a longer school year?
Longer, maybe, but it's got to be better. I think we need a real change in how kids get educated. We walk into schools that look prehistoric. And yet when my kids leave me, they get on laptops and phones that have more power than anything in my classroom some days. It's teachers who go, wait a minute, I need to put technology in my kids' hands to facilitate the lessons I want to teach.
I envision a hard-core [academic] bloc — four hours of math, science, social studies, English in the morning — then a two-hour fitness block; I've never seen so many kids who need exercise. And then an afternoon of hands-on enrichment, kids taking computers apart and putting [them] back together, kids filming movies, kids cooking. There has to be part of the day where they are learning by doing.
But in spite of all the problems …
I really love it. They'll carry my cold, dead body out of that seventh-grade classroom.

Endless SS-Y Street Brake Pads Front Nissan Sentra SE-R 07-09
What good is power without control? The ability to stop quickly is just as important as accelerating quickly, especially on a race track. As any weekend racer will tell you, factory brake systems will quickly overheat and fail when put in even moderate track conditions. That means worn pads, warped rotors and expensive repair bills.
Established in 1986, Endless products performance, design, and safety are recognized around the world. Through a close relationship with overseas with WRC, Paris Dakar, Super GT, Super Taikyu, Freshman Class, and a myriad of other renowned race categories, Endless knows first hand how demanding racing is a brake system. Endless strives to continually grow as both a manufacturer of high performance brakes and as an innovator of automotive technology. Endless??_ constant participation in racing allows them to have feedback from professionals putting their vehicles through the most extreme conditions. Endless also develops other brake components including calipers, discs, brake lines and brake fluid. It is Endless??_ goal to produce the highest quality products for the circuit and the street.
Street driving conditions can vary widely depending on the season, temperature, road conditions, debris, and more. A street pad may need to operate at a variety of temperatures and speeds, therefore, variable braking force is needed. The Endless SS-Y compound focuses on improved initial bite and swift fade recovery on the street. Because of the constant development of the SS-Y compound it is one of the most popular brake pads for vehicle owners looking to improve their braking system at a resonable cost. Endless continually strives to improve the balance and performance of the SS-Y compound. After installing the SS-Y pads you will immediatly feel the improved pedal feedback, response, and fade recovery. Recommended for street driving.

The federal government's budget deficit rose to $215 billion in February, the largest monthly deficit since 2012. The shortfall was driven by both higher spending and lower revenues.
Government outlays increased by $23 billion, or 2 percent, compared to a year ago. According to a preliminary analysis released last week by the Congressional Budget Office, the largest increases in spending were in these areas:
- Social Security (up $4 billion, or 5 percent)
- Department of Homeland Security (up $2 billion, or 45 percent, mostly for disaster relief)
- Medicare (up $2 billion, or 5 percent)
- Interest payments on the public debt (up $2 billion, or 8 percent)
- Department of Defense (up $2 billion, or 5 percent).
On the other side of the ledger, the $1.5 trillion tax cut signed into law last December is already having an effect, with government revenues falling by $16 billion, or 9 percent, compared to a year ago. CBO said that increases "in wages and salaries were more than offset by a decline in the share of wages withheld for taxes ... reflecting the new withholding tables issued in January by the IRS."
On an annual basis, the deficit rose to $706 billion for the 12 months ending in February, or 3.6 percent of GDP. That's up sharply from a year ago, when the deficit for the preceding 12 months was $583 billion, or 3.1 percent of GDP. Annual deficits are expected to hit $1 trillion as soon as 2019.

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Dust storms swirling out of Africa's Sahara Desert may help reduce hurricane activity in the Atlantic Ocean, a new study suggests. The findings aren't conclusive, but researchers led by Amato T. Evan of the University of Wisconsin-Madison found that years with more African dust had fewer tropical storms and years with less dust had more storms.
The study is reported in Tuesday's issue of Geophysical Research Letters.
Evan and his colleagues used satellite images to study the amount of African dust blown out over the Atlantic for the years 1982-2005 and compared that with tropical storm activity.
"While we cannot conclusively demonstrate a direct causal relationship, there appears to be a robust link between tropical cyclone activity and dust transport," they concluded.
"People didn't understand the potential impact of dust until satellites allowed us to see how incredibly expansive these dust storms can be," Evan said in a statement. "Sometimes during the summer, sunsets in Puerto Rico are beautiful, because of all the dust in the sky - well that dust comes all the way from Africa."
Co-author Jonathan Foley, also of the University of Wisconsin, added: "These findings are important because they show that long-term changes in hurricanes may be related to many different factors."
Several recent studies have indicated a potential relationship between warming sea surface temperatures and increases in either the strength or number of tropical storms.
Other researchers have suggested a link between rain in North Africa and an increase in tropical storms, resulting from more easterly wave disturbances entering the Atlantic from Africa.
Dust blowing off the Sahara can spread widely and it is not unusual for it to be detected in the Caribbean and Florida.
The researchers suggest three possible ways the dust can affect storms:
By introducing dry air into a storm it causes downdrafts, blocking the rising streams of air needed to fuel a storm.
Midlevel winds accompanying the Saharan air cause wind shear, a change in direction with altitude that prevents rising currents from growing into storms.
Warmth absorbed by the dust in the air can stabilize conditions, again blocking rising air.

I'm proposing, and i hope you'll say 'yes'
Musa 'alaihissalam was a prophet with a very strong character, and Rasulullah compared the character of Umar ibn al khattab to that of Musa. You had to be strong if your people turned to worshipping a golden cow after seeing obvious miracles performed in front of them. He was physically strong (he accidentally killed a Copt just by pushing him)
But more importantly, he was very strong-willed.
When Allah told Musa to go and find al-Khidr, he said to his assistant
"I will not give up until i reach the meeting point of the two seas; or i will walk for years and years". (Al kahf:60)
He was so fired up about it, that he was willing to walk for YEARS AND YEARS. But obviously, no one could walk non-stop for years.
"When they had passed on (some distance), Musa said to his attendant: "Bring us our early meal; truly we have suffered much fatigue at this journey of ours." (Al kahf: 62)
Being humans, we have some constraints put on us. We feel hungry, we need sleep, we have to rest a little bit, we have families to take care of, we need to work to sustain a living. No one was born with wings sprouting from their backs and light shining from their fingers.
But we should learn from the example of Musa. The initial mindset should be 'i'll walk for years and years', and not 'i'll walk if the road is smooth, there are R&Rs down the road, someone takes care of my business, etc...". One brother told us have a 'no worries' attitude to D&T.
"3 circles per week? No worries mate".
"I've never spoken on this topic before..but no worries mate, consider it done."
"You're asking me to write a book???? *puffs up cheeks and exhales slowly*...no worries mate, i'll give it a try".
If any opportunity of good comes to you, say 'yes' first. And then we'll talk about the constraints. You can't think straight and can't sleep if someone proposes marriage to you. But allah is proposing paradise to you,and a lot of people don't look like they want to say 'yes'.
Remember, you'll never know your limit if you never tried to reach it.

Before you build that mosque
Reading an obituary of the late nelson mandela, i was struck by this particular passage:
"Winnie, his second wife, whom he married in 1958, came to share his political cause, but from the first realised that 'he belongs to them', the public. This was a complaint of the children too, as mr Mandela himself confessed. He was, one told him, 'a father to all our people, but you have never had time to be a father to me."
This is a real risk for people who are serving a public cause.
So to all my brothers and sisters who are still 'missing by half' (yours truly included),
Choose and prepare and plan wisely,
Think well, because building the foundation blocks of a society is not an easy thing,
And its even more of a challenge because we must be fathers and mothers to all the ummah, in addition to becoming fathers and mothers to young khalids and umars, and little aishahs and nusaybahs.

DOVER — On Wednesday, Jan. 2, the state House of Representatives will enter into its first legislative session, with a variety of curious and controversial bill proposals before them.
House Speaker Terie Norelli, D-Portsmouth, said she is optimistic for a year of bipartisanship in Concord, with the most recent announcement she has eliminated the proverbial "aisle" by switching up House seating, with Democrat and Republican representatives spread throughout the floor, sitting next to each other and intermingling.
"I'm looking for ways to help encourage that bipartisan conversation," Norelli said. "I also will be returning to regular meetings with Democratic and Republican leadership, so I will meet regularly with the majority and minority leaders and certainly look forward to dealing with Democrat and minority leaders as well."
The released LSRs, which refers to "legislative service requests," indicate a slew of interesting proposals and concepts to go before House committees. New Hampshire is one of the few states that requires a public hearing for all bills, unless suspended by two-thirds of the members present.
Norelli explained the current LSR list represents the new proposals for this year and the filing period is now closed.
Rep. Timothy Copeland, R-Stratham, has proposed a requirement to drug test all health care workers in the state, as well as requiring registration of all medical technicians. The proposal comes in the wake of an incident that made national headlines this year, when an Exeter Hospital radiologic technician allegedly transmitted hepatitis C to dozens of patients through "drug diversion," described as a process where one abuses hospital narcotics.
Voting procedures will also be scrutinized this biennium. Rep. Timothy Horrigan, D-Strafford, is the prime sponsor of an LSR to eliminate all voter I.D. requirements, along with representatives Marcia Moody, Cynthia Chase and Timothy Smith. Horrigan has also put forth another matter relative to voter registration, with representatives Kenneth Ward and Marcia Moody.
This proposal comes after much controversy in the 2012 election cycle. Granite Staters were required to present identification at the polls this past fall. Changes to registration requirements were also passed earlier this year, though the new law has been put on hold by a Superior Court judge.
Rep. Lucy Weber, D-Cheshire, is the primary sponsor on a matter related to photo identification as well.
Another significant issue facing lawmakers this year comes on the question of whether to expand Medicaid this year. Former House Speaker William O'Brien, R-Hillsborough, is the primary sponsor on an LSR with Timothy Comerford to prevent the state from participating in the program's expansion.
Issues that touch on the criminal justice system include an LSR presented by Rep. Timothy Robertson, D-Keene, to prohibit the privatization of state prisons, and another from Rep. David Bickford, R-Strafford, who has suggested raising the age for juvenile delinquency from 17 to 18 years of age.
Norelli said she expects a courteous discussion on the House floor and said from her perspective, the Democratic agenda will focus on economic and budgetary challenges facing the state.
"I hope even when we have partisan issues, we find the parts we agree on first," she said. "We find the common ground. We see if there are ways to compromise and, when all else fails, we have a very thoughtful and respectful debate."
Minority Leader Gene Chandler, R-Bartlett, said he sees the most important matters ahead as those addressing available jobs in the state, help for small and large businesses and the reduction of taxes.
"We won't be supporting any new taxes and (we're) just trying to make sure we have a balanced budget based on reasonable revenue," he said. "We're going to be very diligent in making sure that revenue estimates that we adopt are not only reasonable but accurate and not overweighted."
A spokesman for Governor-Elect Maggie Hassan, Marc Goldberg, said in a statement Hassan's priorities for the future will center on "bringing people together from both parties" to a build fiscally-responsible budget.
"The Governor-Elect will also be focused on beginning to implement her Innovate N.H. jobs plan, which includes increasing the research and development tax credit, providing technical assistance to New Hampshire's businesses and ensuring our workforce has the skills needed to fill the jobs of today and tomorrow in order to build a stronger, more innovative New Hampshire," Goldberg wrote in an email to Foster's.
Following the tragedy in Newtown, Conn., where 26 people were fatally shot at Sandy Hook Elementary School, including 20 young children, some citizens are hopeful gun control and gun ownership issues will be addressed by lawmakers in the future.
Norelli pointed out the House is looking to at least adopt a bill reinstating a 40-year long ban on guns in the statehouse chamber. It was recently lifted under a Republican-led House to allow representatives to carry concealed weapons.
"You know, I think we want reasonable gun legislation. We don't want overregulation of anything," she said. "… (but) there are fourth graders who come to the statehouse and they sit in the gallery and you know, we will be taking up that issue."
Some nationally-discussed issues have been presented in the LSR list too, including matters related to preventing abortion when the heartbeat of a fetus can be detected, abolishing the death penalty, discussing "death with dignity" for those suffering from terminal conditions, requiring the labeling of genetically modified foods and the topic of legalization of marijuana use. A representative has also proposed the decriminalization of possession of less than one ounce of marijuana.
