Sorry buddy, I have no time to do this over again. But believe me, it didn't happen overnight. It's a cumulative process since the release of Xperia S.
How did Sony lie with the Xperia S?
Their skin is THE best 3rd party skins.
Having purchased a few Sony phones for people who wanted new androids, I have to say that I'm REALLY impressed how Sony are working with Android. Their customisations don't feel like bloat but rather actually enhance the experience. Their hardware is top notch and their pricing feels fair. Wouldn't have said that of them a few years ago.

Sorry but Samsung's Touchwiz is the worst 3rd party skin ever.
Looks pretty nice, but aside from the fact it's waterproof and it looks pretty nice, it seems like an evolutionary Android upgrade.
There will be many more quad core, 2GB RAM, 5" full HD phones this year
Galaxy S4 will probably be similar specced, but Samsung usually have some really nice Touchwiz features to throw in on top.

I think most of us are alright with that though, those of us who love the design of each of the Xperia phones but find ourselves paying premiums for sub-par specs by getting one vs getting a Galaxy S series, the Sony Tax as it were. Unless this phone comes out costing £700, the Sony Tax is no more

No. After Xperia S, No more Sony.
Besides the LCD resolution, I failed to see which part of this phone is better than Nexus 4.
And frankly why do we need 5 inches screen? Why do we need 1080P in a 5 incher?
Posted 06 February 2013 - 00:25
For the record, I don't like Samsung and I do hate everyone lumping Samsung with Android.
Why not after the Xperia S ?
It is imho still one of the best android phones out there. the only android phones beating it are newer models sony. I'm no sony fan in general. but for phones, they really know their stuff. sure the SIII and other top phones form other oems may have bigger paper specs, but even on ICS, this thing outperforms the SIII on JellyBean, simply because Sony doesn't just take the source dump from google, compile it and dump it on the phone, they actually do their work and optimize it for their phones. Sure it means longer time for the updates, but at least the updates work and are optimized properly. and therefore you also don't need to run JB instead of ICS since it runs ICS as if it was JB.
I put a custom rom on my S in december or so, and since then, I've continually been asking myself, why. there's some neat stuff. but the themes are inconsistent, the performance isn't really any better, since the official rom was so blazing, and I don't have all the awesome sony apps I had on the custom rom, my plan was to run this until they released a official JB early 2013, since it got delayed, I'm actually thinking of going back to an official ICS rom until the official JB rom. bonus is that the official JB rom also upgrades the camera to be even better than it already is.
If I was going to stay with android, Sony would definitiely be my upgrade path of choice, better camera, better built quality, their whole line is pretty much water proof now, and proper software engineers doing their job.
and as a bonus, factory pre applied shatter proofing on the glass.

Don't you think if it was a false flag attack that they'd use a real person pretending to be injured? I mean, it just doesn't make sense for them to use a dummy knowing that it's going to be filmed. The problem is that these false flag conspiracy theories portray the government as being competent and capable, when reality has proven the opposite. You can't have a government that on one hand is unable to operate a website like that for the ACA yet on the other is capable of staging elaborate false flag operations. Pick one or the other.

Talk about making up stories, trying to say that I would assassinate a politician just because I questioned what I saw..
I expect people who believe this conspiracy theory are the type who would consider gunning down a politician for trying to pass gun control legislation. This is a terrible tragedy, ive seen many dead bodies, this is normal body color after that much blood loss and death especially for a white person. It is utterly offensive that you would narrow it down to a fake.
Posted 04 November 2013 - 04:32
Some of these recent shootings, I'd be willing to say were, at least in some way, influenced, or known about by government officials, because some of them are just way too fishy. For example at Sandy Hook, I personally watched the police on the news pull the AR-15 and a shotgun out of the trunk of the car hours after it was all over with, then all of a sudden all the major news networks are saying he shot all the kids with the AR-15 instead of the two handguns they found in the school.
I'm not taking the blame off the shooters, they were all very obviously mentally deranged, and would be better of dead instead of taking the lives of innocent people and consuming resources, but in some of these cases, things don't quite add up.
Posted 04 November 2013 - 04:34
For my first and probably last conspiracy theory thread I bring you this youtube video.
Look closely at the person in the wheel chair, Does that look real to you. To me that looks like a mannequin.
That looks like a real person to me. At first I thought it looked fake, then the reporter said, "neck back" and when I re-wound the video and took a second glance, I did notice that he looks stiff because he's sitting in the chair with his head slumped back over the back of the wheel-chair.
Posted 04 November 2013 - 07:26
Yeah, but dummies tell no tales.
False flag event = requiring actual living people to pull it off. So whats the actual difference using people to not only pull it off but show on live tv live people pushing what you are suggesting is a "dummy". How does using a dummy that can't talk make any sense when those pushing the said dummy can talk? Are you starting to see the failed logic in your thinking?

do these stay up well on their own and is there any roll in the cuffs?
There used to be a color in "White w/ white" for these particular stockings. Will that color be available again any time soon?
So, I'm a guy of average build, about 6' 150lbs and I was wondering if these might fit me? It's hard to find ones that do that I really like, but I adore these and hope they would fit. Hope to hear from you soon!
Could you make a purchasing option to buy one white sock and one black sock?
Do the bows seem easily removable? Besides those, these are perfect for the costume I'm putting together, and I'd like to avoid having to sew lace ruffles onto regular stockings if possible.
Wow, A+ for FAST service from your crew! Placed an order Saturday, got it today! That is FAST (I'm in the midwest)! Y'all ROCK!

Philadelphia, PA (SportsNetwork.com) - Following a season which ended with the Los Angeles Kings getting crowned Stanley Cup champions for the second time in three years, it's become patently obvious the Western Conference is a step above the East.
Dallas Stars general manager Jim Nill clearly had the high level of competition in the West on his mind when he pulled the trigger on the biggest trade of the offseason to date on July 1. Nill landed Jason Spezza from Ottawa to play center on his club's second line and he hopes the move gives Dallas the type of depth needed to challenge the Western powers.
Spezza was introduced to the media in Dallas on Monday and inevitably the topic of conversation turned to the proliferation of talent in the West, a conference in which even making the playoffs is a noteworthy achievement.
A point-per-game player over his NHL career (687 points in 686 games), Spezza is eager to prove himself out in the new setting and he thinks playing in a harder conference can actually help a team get better by the time the playoffs roll around.
"I think the competition level just makes you a better team and it creates better habits within your team and makes you probably more prepared for the battles that are in the playoffs," Spezza said.
"It's a tough process just to get in the playoffs, but once you're in, everybody has a chance and I think by being in a strong conference, that can help because to make the playoffs you have to have a good team and if you make the playoffs, you've given yourself a good opportunity and you have confidence in your team."
The Stars did qualify for the postseason in 2014, claiming the West's final playoff berth despite finishing fifth in the Central Division. It was the first time Dallas earned a spot in the postseason since 2008, and although the Stars fell in six games to Anaheim in the opening round, Nill feels his club could've beaten the Ducks if a few things broke differently.
While giving top-seeded Anaheim a scare was a sign the Stars were on the right track, according to Nill, the close nature of the series only spurred Dallas to try and improve its team right now.
"I think we gave Anaheim everything they could handle," Nill said. "It could have gone either way and that's the way the playoffs are, but we knew then that we still had to make another step."
The step, of course, came when the Stars worked out a deal with the Senators to bring Spezza to "Big D." Dallas sent promising young forward Alex Chiasson to Ottawa along with Alex Guptill, Nicolas Paul and a second-round pick in 2015 to land Spezza and undrafted Swedish winger Ludwig Karlsson.
Although Spezza is set to become an unrestricted free agent following the 2014-15 season, there are plenty of reasons to believe he sees Dallas as a home for the long term. Spezza had requested a trade from the Sens and needed to waive his no-movement clause to make the deal official, something he was not willing to do to approve another trade offer made by Nashville during the NHL's draft weekend.
Spezza spoke about fitting in with Dallas as another "piece to the puzzle," and Nill seems confident the Stars front office will convince the 31-year-old centerman to sign an extension with his new team.
"We're going to let Jason get settled in here first," Nill said of an extension. "But we've already talked about it and kind of go from there. I don't think it's going to be an issue. I just want him to get his family in here, get settled and then we'll move forward from there."
Although Dallas is still a team with a very young core, the addition of Spezza to the mix is expected to push the team to the next level. Nill believes adding Spezza to a group that includes blossoming star centerman Tyler Seguin, who was acquired in another blockbuster trade with Boston last offseason, will create tremendous matchup problems for the opposition. That will need to be the case for Dallas if it wants to stay afloat in a division in which Chicago, Colorado, Minnesota and St. Louis all finished above the Stars in 2013-14.
"Somebody mentioned about him kind of being kind of the second line," said Nill of Spezza's role in Dallas. "I really look at (it) as a 1A and 1B. Jason Spezza is in the prime of his career. He's an elite player. Having Tyler Seguin and Jason Spezza out there as your two centermen coming out the door, when we go on the road, other teams are going to have a tough time matching up against us."
Breaking into the West's elite and becoming a perennial participant in the playoffs will be a difficult task for Dallas, but it's clear the arrival of Spezza makes that goal a more achievable one.
Speaking of the West's dominance, two guys largely responsible for Chicago's two recent Stanley Cup victories won't be leaving the Windy City anytime soon.
Star forwards Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews, Conn Smythe winners in 2013 and 2010, respectively, committed to the Blackhawks with identical eight-year contracts each worth a reported total of $84 million. The twin deals lock up both players through the 2022-23 season, but also carry an annual cap hit of $10.5 million. Thanks to a previous extension signed by star defenseman Duncan Keith, the Blackhawks have their three most important players signed until 2023, as they aim to chase down their third Cup title since winning in 2010.
However, the new deals could force Chicago to make difficult personnel decisions over the next few years, but not signing Kane and Toews -- the symbols of the Blackhawks' recent renaissance -- for the long term was not an option. Even if inking the duo to these large contracts eventually forces Chicago to get rid of fellow star forwards Marian Hossa and Patrick Sharp, or current No. 1 goaltender Corey Crawford, extending Kane and Toews would still be the right move.
The situation in Chicago now resembles the one in Pittsburgh, where star forwards Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin take up a huge chunk of the team's salary cap for a long, long time.
The challenge for Blackhawks Stan Bowman is to avoid making the same mistakes that eventually led to his counterpart in Pittsburgh, ex-Pens GM Ray Shero, losing his job a few months back. Bowman has proven to be a master of working around the salary cap in years past, but putting a competitive team around Kane and Toews over the long haul could be his most difficult task yet.

He is the closest thing in the story to a totally good character. Hard working, honorable, loyal, and fair, he is equally comfortable showing both his raw, physical strength and his gentle, patient, emotional side. He is compassionate to the convict who stole his food, as well as to the memory of his alcoholic, abusive father. He recognizes Mrs. Joe's strengths, remembers her better times, and wants to protect her from the suffering that his mother endured with his father. In him, there is deep intuitive wisdom, inner peace and acceptance, dignity, and a basic sense of what is right and what will cause heartache. Even when treated poorly by Pip, he shows unconditional love and comes to Pip's aid when needed. His function in the story is to love Pip, be a father to him, and show him the path to dignified manhood.
Dickens keeps him from being a sickeningly sweet person by giving him the flaws of no education, no polish, and failing to better protect Pip from his sister when Pip was a child. Yet, to his credit, Joe himself expresses his realization of that and does what he exemplifies best. He takes responsibility for himself and consciously chooses his actions. He is not ruled by passion or illusion.

Home to around two-thirds of all plant and animal species found on land — in addition to the millions of people who depend on them for survival — our remaining ancient forests are some of our most diverse ecosystems. They are also vitally important to the health of our planet, especially when it comes to regulating the climate.
With so many of the world's forests already destroyed, we urgently need to protect what is left. Yet industry is still relentlessly converting forests into disposable products that end up in our shopping baskets - while pushing species to the brink of extinction, destroying the lives and livelihoods of forest communities and exacerbating global climate change. We need your help to protect what forests remain.
Around the world, forests are being logged for timber and paper pulp and cleared to grow mono-crops like soy and palm oil while also deteriorating from impacts of global warming. Deforestation is a major driver of global warming, responsible for up to 20 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions–more than all the cars, trucks, planes, boats and trains in the world combined.

Very uncomfortable
By N/A
from Prospect, KY
The rigid disk was very uncomfortable; I expected a soft chamois to help protect against chafing and supply a comfortable ride. Instead the stiff disk cut into my inner thighs, and also failed to provide an adequate buffer between me and the bike seat. I will be returning these 2 liners.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Well Worth the Money
By Jim "the Redneck"
from Pomona, KS
I have purchased several of these over the years and you really can't beat 'em for the price. I wear these under jean shorts for a lot of riding and recently for a 100 mile trail ride (Prairie Spirit Trail in Kansas. It makes folks think you have an iron butt when they see you riding in jean shorts but little do they know I'm riding in comfort with these pretty well padded shorts. I've also worn them with baggy shorts for additional padding and they work quite well. They will eventually wear out but for the price it's still a great deal. Sizing is accurate.

Poor Fit
By Sad
from Weirdville, USA
These shorts sat far too low on my waist. I have a 36" waist and bought the Large size. I'm 6'2" so maybe these just aren't suited for taller people. This was my first time purchasing from Nashbar - the shipping was fast but I'm not thrilled about paying $7 to ship then $8 to return when the shorts were only $17
Great LIner for Everyday Riders
By trekrider
from Punta Gorda, Florida
Thus far, in 30 days of daily use the Nashbar Liner Shorts have proven to be comfortable for my daily recreational ride of up to 30 miles. They work well under lightweight active-wear shorts. For longer rides I would probably go with a gel lined short. Durable, wear them and toss them in the wash and they've held shape and maintained their comfort. One caution is be sure to order the correct size. These run tight and if you are at the upper limit of a size go to the next larger.

The series was originally created by the presbyterian publishing house of T. & T. Clark in Edinburgh as the Ante-Nicene Christian Library and published in the 1860's. The volumes were edited by Rev. Alexander Roberts and James Donaldson. This series was published by subscription, and the editors were unable to interest enough subscribers to commission a translation of the homilies of Origen.
In 1885 a US firm, the Christian Literature Company, first of Buffalo, then New York, began to issue the volumes in a reorganised form, edited by the episcopalian bishop of New York, A. Cleveland Coxe. This was in fact piracy of the ANCL, and treated as such by T. &. T. Clark at the time. However there was little recognition of overseas copyright in the USA at this date, and Clark's were obliged to accept the situation. Coxe gave his series the title, The Ante-Nicene Fathers.
The contents are entirely derived from the ANCL, but in a more logical order. However Coxe took the liberty of adding his own introductions and notes, which were criticised by Roman Catholic reviewers. One approved the faithfulness of the translations, but wrote that Coxe:
The volumes include the following:
Volume I. Apostolic Fathers with Justin Martyr and Irenaeus
Writings. Didache
Volume II. Fathers of the Second Century
Volume III. Latin Christianity: Its Founder, Tertullian
Volume IV. The Fathers of the Third Century
Volume V. The Fathers of the Third Century
Volume VI. The Fathers of the Third Century
Volume VII. Fathers of the Third and Fourth Centuries
Volume VIII. Fathers of the Third and Fourth Centuries
Volume IX. Recently Discovered Additions to Early Christian Literature; Commentaries of Origen

When his son turned 14 a year ago, Jonathan Hardy bought the teen a gift that was both a coming-of-age badge and a hot item: an AR-15 rifle.
To Hardy, the matte-black weapon is not a dangerous assault rifle. His son's model shoots the same small, low-powered bullets used by youths for decades.
The allure of the AR-15 — the main gun used by the killer in Newtown — has nothing to do with the rifle's firepower, as far as Hardy is concerned. Rather, it's the gun's modular design, light weight, ease of use, low recoil and extraordinary flexibility that draws him in.

"It's the perfect rifle," said Hardy, a New Britain resident and certified firearms instructor who is active in the debate over gun control. "It can grow with him as he grows. ... As his needs change, it can change."
Hardy can convert it to the more powerful rounds that have made the AR-15 famous, with the same bullets as the military version, the M-16. Or it can shoot even larger rounds of the sort used by deer hunters.
"If you get a new barrel, essentially you've got a new rifle," Hardy said.
Anyone who thinks Hardy is an extremist, far from the mainstream, should wake up. The AR-15, which isn't a brand but rather a generic design, accounts for an estimated 60 percent of all civilian rifle sales in the United States and perhaps a quarter of all firearms sold, according to the National Shooting Sports Foundation, an industry group based in Newtown.
It's made by dozens of manufacturers.
The story of how the AR-15 reached the pinnacle of the firearms world winds through decades of twists and turns with events that support arguments on both sides of the debate about whether to ban it.
The AR-15 was invented as a replacement for the World War II-era M-1, and was developed and industrialized by Colt Firearms in Hartford in the 1960s, largely as the M-16 military rifle in the early years.
Today, the AR-15 is so popular, with estimates of as many as 5 million in private hands, that its advocates say a ban would do little to keep it from the grasp of determined evil-doers. Opponents can't refute that; they say a ban is a first step, worthwhile if it saves even one life. Although partial bans have been in place or years in some places, including Connecticut, the latest proposals here and some other states could ban it outright.
Everyone agrees that when it comes to rifles, the AR-15 is the "it" gun. But there's less agreement on how that happened, and what it says about our society. Opponents say the firearms industry foisted the gun on the public using ads laden with military words and images.
In fact, a close look at the rise of the AR-15 shows that marketing was just one of many factors, and probably not the biggest one.
The AR-15 has brought to the firearms world what the smartphone delivered to electronics and the single-lens-reflex camera offered for photography: maximum usability in an affordable package that's easy to upgrade and, most important, plays into the culture of its customers. Not only can Jonathan Hardy give one to his teenager, his disabled mother can shoot one as well, and does.
"It's America's rifle," said Christopher Bartocci, a former Colt's employee who wrote "Black Rifle II," the second volume of a two-book, illustrated history of the AR-15/M-16. "It's as American as anything there is — apple pie and football."
It's true that some firms have marketed it using the icons of war and tactical defense, but many have not, because they appeal to hunters, target-shooters and an evolving American way of thinking that has fueled demand for a gun that sells itself.
It was 50 years ago, in 1963, that Colt Firearms sought and later got federal permission to modify its automatic AR-15 for sale to civilians as a semi-automatic rifle. Since then, especially with an explosion in the last 10 years, the weapon has gained popularity in a sweep of events that reads like a cultural history of the last half-century — because that's what it is.
The rifle first became familiar during the Vietnam War, through grainy, televised images of the M-16 (the military version of the AR-15) in the jungles of Southeast Asia. That was followed by a string of high-profile incidents and movies such as "Rambo" in the 1980s; an end to imports of the Uzi and the AK-47 in 1989 and a partial federal ban on semi-automatic firearms in 1994; the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, with returning servicemen eager to have their own versions of the rifles they carried; the rise of realistic video games and a target-shooting sport called "three-gun competition"; and, finally, the election of President Barack Obama, coinciding with an anti-government movement of gun-rights advocates convinced they must be ready to defend themselves.
Those cultural tides raised the AR-15's popularity, as did gun control debates. The greater the threat to its existence, the more the gun sold. Gun manufacturers were not surprised that demand has spiked since the Newtown tragedy. Some models are selling for many times their pre-Dec. 14 prices — if buyers can find them at all.
Opponents say marketers have played into an aggressive, menacing image of rifle owners, far from the former hunting-driven gun sales.

Can I use this with Facetime on my 4S
- Asked by David M
Bose® Bluetooth Headset Series II - Right Ear
Product No Longer Available
1 Answer from the Community
Yes. The Bose Bluetooth ear piece Series 2 will work with all features of iPhone 4S and it does sound great. I've had mine now for 2 years. HOWEVER I've had consistent connection problems: the Bose will drop the connection to my iPhone 4S many times throughout any given day. It almost always takes several tries to get the Bose to be recognized by iPhone and even after it says it's connected the A2DP will not always work — I then have turn it off and try again or restart iPhone to get A2DP audio. Lastly the connection to iPhone is frequently knocked out by my airport extreme network as well as my MacPro 8-Core built-in bluetooth (I use bluetooth mouse & keyboard) or even an outside source (like a passing taxi sending a dispatch signal). If I turn wi-fi off on iPhone, using only cellular then the problem is lessoned. This is all extremely frustrating, time consuming and continues to get worse. This is only offset by the fact that when it does work — it sounds great, really great plus the convenience & freedom from earphones with cords is priceless - you'll never want to use regular earphones again.
P. S. these same problems are NOT experienced when using the Bose with iPad — the Bose performs flawlessly including A2DP audio with no trouble connecting to iPad and no spontaneous disconnects — which makes me think it's the iPhone 4S and not the Bose.
My recommendation: make sure you can return if not satisfied. Or, also take a look at the BlueAnt Q2, an excellent product also with A2DP. I owned an earlier model BlueAnt without A2DP…the only feature it was missing - its still performing perfectly and even the older BlueAnt has features the Bose Series 2 is still missing.

Teresa Nelson had just come home from a long, hard day when her good friend handed her a "sword" made from a pool noodle covered golf club and encouraged her to hit him with it.
"I was like, 'Dude I'm not hitting you with that,' " Nelson said.
After he showed her the weapon didn't even leave a mark, she had at it.
"It's great if you have anger management," Nelson said with a laugh.
The experience drove Nelson to learn more about her friend's interest, Amtgard, an organization that recreates different activities in medieval and ancient times. The curiosity turned into a passion, and Nelson and her family helped start the local group: the Nomadic Tribes of the Emerald Coast.
View a slideshow from one of the group's meetings at Fort Walton landing.
"The more you get into it, the cooler it is," Nelson said. "I just want to do more."
Participants are encouraged to come up with their own character based on someone born before the year 1650. They have about 14 different "classes" from warrior to bard they can enter depending on their interests.
One of its members, Saben Schmitt, has been involved in Amtgard for 17 years, after being drawn to the weaponry and sword fighting. He's a warrior with aspirations to become a sword knight. He practices about three days a week, in addition to the Sunday practice.
"It's not something you're used to in everyday life," Schmitt said of Amtgard.
At major Amtgard events, there are thousands of people interested in a number of different activities, Schmitt said.
"You find massive amounts of friends," he said.
The main focus is creating foam-covered weapons and battling, but participants also try the different activities of the time period. They sew clothes, craft, make chainmail — whatever interests them.
"You try and make it as authentic as possible," Nelson said.
Kristina Howard was first interested in learning to sew the practical items needed by a warrior. Now, in addition to becoming a knight, she wants to sew court garb.
"It's nerdy in a good way," Howard said.
Howard thought Amtgard players were "absolutely nuts" at first. As she met other players and got their help on her projects, she realized how much of a family the group is.
"It's not a normal experience," Howard said. "You make some good friends."
Her 5-year-old daughter loves Amtgard as well.
"She gets to hit people with a stick," Howard said with a laugh.
TO LEARN MORE: The Nomadic Tribes of Emerald Coast meets every Sunday at 2 p.m. at Fort Walton Beach Landing Park for combat practice.

|Rescooped by Jim Lerman from Active learning in Higher Education
This week, the GE Foundation released a solutions-driven white paper, titled "The Skills Gap and the New Economy: Implications for Low-Income Students," that outlines strategic steps needed to help low-income students succeed in college and career.
a job description that could serve as a template for building innovation leadership in any school.
Jim Lerman's insight:
A wonderful article with a great deal of very rich information. Great thinking on display.
Today's high school students interact with their guidance counselors an average of 38 minutes per year. Even more troubling are the profound gaps between rich and poor students' access to mentors in general: according to Harvard political scientist Robert Putnam, nearly two thirds of affluent children have some mentoring beyond their extended family, whereas nearly two thirds of low-income children do not. In order to ensure that all students know how to navigate both their high school careers and the sea of post-secondary options available, schools need to focus on filling these gaps.
There are a number of organizations emerging to tackle these shortages by using technology to expand students' access to adult supports in ways never before possible.
Chris Kobza is managing director for learning spaces at the University of Oklahoma.
Cómo el espacio puede fomentar el aprendizaje. Flexibilidad para aprender mejor.
Politics isn't only about who gets elected, or the day to day "action" on Capitol Hill, it's a negotiation of power in any relationship – who has it, who can use it, and over how many other people. The Maker Movement is about sharing ideas and access to solutions with the world, not for money or power, but to make the world a better place. It's about trusting other people, many times people you don't know, to use these ideas for good.
Making in the classroom is also about power and trust, and perhaps in an even more important way, because it's about transferring power to the learner. Young people who are the ones who will take over the world in the not too distant future. And in giving the learner agency and responsibility over their own learning, they gain trust, not just the trust of the adults in the room, but trust in themselves as powerful problem-solvers and agents of change.
Flipping the classroom is about minimizing the amount of time we are spending on content delivery in the classroom so we can maximize time spent on challenging students to be active, while they collaborate and create. Video lectures are more effective for delivering content to students and can be 60-80% shorter than live lectures. So, if we are using video lectures, what should we do with all that extra class time? Challenge students to…

This is sure to blow your students' minds (and a lot of other people's too). What a great way to start off the school year in September!
If you want to understand tech, Mary Meeker's Internet Trends reports are the closest you'll get to gospel. Today the Kleiner Perkins partner released her..
"Whether you're practicing flipped or blended learning in your classroom, set the occasional video assignment, or have just observed that your students are part of the Netflix generation, you've likely seen what a powerful tool video can be for teaching and learning. And, while there's certainly a wealth of great educational content available online, sometimes you — and your students — will want to create your own.
"Terrific news: It's never been easier to create great video content! We know that quality matters; viewers rarely find shaky, inaudible and poorly lit video terribly engaging. But, an understanding of commonly available software, tools and basic production techniques is all you (and your students) need to create great quality video content. Best of all, you probably have most of the tools you need sitting on your desk right now. In this guide we'll cover everything you need to know to produce educational and instructional videos using your PC and webcam. Why create your own video content?"

Yesterday at AEI, Mike McShane and I hosted a research conference on the state of educational entrepreneurship in K-12. It was a remarkably provocative discussion about how educational entrepreneurship works (or doesn't), what it takes for it to succeed, how we know if it's doing any good, and how it's shaped by policy and the larger realities of education. If you're interested in the particulars, you can watch it here and find the papers here. The authors are a raft of sharp thinkers, including John Katzman of Noodle, Matt Candler of 4.0 Schools, Stacey Childress of NewSchools Venture Fund, Elizabeth City and Jon Fullerton of Harvard, Dmitri Mehlhorn of Vidinovo, John Bailey of Digital Learning Now!, Ashley Jochim of the Center on Reinventing Public Ed, and Ross Baird of Village Capital.
Jim Lerman's insight:
An interesting take on this topic. While not coming right out and saying it, Hess sort of seems to consider the term "educational entrepreneurship" as an oxymoron; overall though, this piece does seem rather balanced. Does anyone see it differently?
"The internship, a long-held tradition of the business world, is overdue for innovation, says David Williamson Shaffer, a learning sciences professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison who is an alum of the Peace Corps and MIT's famed Media Lab. Shaffer and fellow researcher Naomi Chesler, a professor in UW–Madison's College of Engineering, have found that metacognition, or what Shaffer calls "reflection-in-action," is a common trait among successful professionals. Shaffer and Chesler teamed up to create virtual internships to develop that ability in students."
LittleBits, the New York-based open source hardware startup that produces modular snap-together circuitry kits, announced this morning that it has raised just over $44 million in its Series B funding from DFJ Growth as well as Morgan Stanley, Grishin Robotics, and Wamda Capital, among others. This is one of the largest rounds to come out of the Maker Movement, and will give littleBits an extra boost to fuel what has already proven to be an extremely profitable enterprise.
The team has big plans for their Series B funding. It will go towards furthering STEM/STEAM education (science, technology, engineering, art, and math), pushing global expansion, and developing new enterprise strategies. LittleBits is also partnering with Barnes & Noble Stores in an initiative to sell their circuitry kits in brick and mortar retail spaces across the U.S."
Jim Lerman's insight:
Partnering with Barnes & Noble to sell in their stores? Fantastic! A win for both companies, and for the public too, I'd say. Bits and Books, high potential for profit, how could this not work out?
Last week the Clayton Christensen Institute released a paper, which I wrote, that profiles three innovative teacher education programs: High Tech High Graduate School of Education, Relay Graduate School of Education, and Match Education's Sposato Graduate School of Education. What makes these programs particularly interesting is that their founders were leaders from the charter school sector who created their own teacher certification and master's degree programs after concluding that the teachers who graduate from most traditional teacher education programs lack the skills needed to teach successfully. The paper tells the stories of how these programs developed pedagogical approaches, navigated state regulatory requirements, addressed the question of accreditation, and developed sustainable business models to support their operations. Below are a few key takeaways from that research.
A new study from the the Brookings Metropolitan Policy Program ranks two- and four-year colleges based on economic outcomes for graduates—and none of the Ivy League even makes it to the top 10 for the four-year institutions. This is the data that the U.S. News and World Report rankings won't tell you.
Some of the major findings: Schools with high completion rates and good financial aid are linked to better economic outcomes. And schools with lots of students in STEM majors (like computer science and engineering), as well as majors with paths to higher paying careers in business and health care, also have superior financial payback.
In a white paper [PDF] marking the end of its second year, Agency by Design (AbD) finds that among the benefits that may accrue along the maker ed path, the most striking is the sense of inspiration that students take away — a budding understanding of themselves as actors in their community, empowered "to engage with and shape the designed dimensions of their worlds."
The report offers a glimpse of the emerging findings of AbD's multiyear research initiative, exploring the promises, practices, and pedagogies of maker-centered learning. In tandem with a new website that offers important educational resources, including thinking routines to stimulate learning, the paper solidifies Agency by Design's efforts to shape a set of research-based, educator-tested practices and to invite the broad community of maker educators into a conversation about the ideas driving and shaping the movement.

MOOCs and Learning Sciences: Where we have been. Where we are going. George Siemens Scandinavian MOOC Conference Stockholm, Sweden June 12, 2015
George Siemens es el referente internacional sobre la educación abierta, masiva y online, junto a Stephen Downes.
"In this talk, I will address these issues by presenting several examples of research projects in my lab that are trying to study what students learn when then make, build, program, and do inquiry science. We use methods from design-based research together with learning analytics and educational data mining to inquire into the complex, multimodal activities that students engage in science labs, and makerspaces. For example, in some studies, we examine the impact of maker activities in students' STEM identity, career choice, and problem solving skills. In another set of studies, we evaluated a model which we termed the "flipped flipped classroom," in which students explored a problem *before* they watch a video. In other studies, we use computational techniques to examine 100,000+ snapshots of computer code generated by students in a programming course, or second-by-second actions when students are building engineering projects. Taken together, these studies are trying to determine the value of constructivist education in the context of STEM education and in the "maker" movement, in order to make them possible equalizers of educational opportunity, rather than an instrument to further increase the educational gap in our society."
Jim Lerman's insight:
Blikstein's research is fascinating in its design and execution and the social/political considerations he is dealing with stand at the fault line between equity and discrimination. I recommend this video highly.

Among educational practice there has been significant attention on the flipped classroom, which is an innovative pedagogical method used by K-12 to college and university educators. There are many different approaches to implementing a flipped classroom. In particular, some educators pre-record lectures of themselves presenting material, others use screen casts to convey information to students before attending class in order to facilitate more peer-to-peer learning, and some teachers use a flipped classroom approach that does not involve videos. Ultimately, the shift in learning is focused on changing the classroom from passive to active.
The purpose of the symposium is to present papers on the flipped classroom and its development of flipped learning. Although some authors are invited to discuss the technical aspects of the flipped classroom, the focus of our symposium will be about how teachers use the face-to-face class time gained by changing from a completely lecture based classroom. Please join the discussion during this symposium as we explore the wide variety of approaches with the authors and other members of the chemical education and flipped classroom communities
Jim Lerman's insight:
8 very informative papers about the flipped classroom, primarily in 1st and 2nd year college classes in Chemistry.
Sometimes when you get a good content idea, you can feel it. Other times, the idea isn't quite so clear. These tools can get you moving in the right direction.

"U.S.-based technology companies have also recently been putting more of their money into robotics. In 2012, Amazon spent more than $700 million to acquire Kiva Systems, which makes a mobile robot for carting items sitting on shelves over to packers working inside Amazon fulfillment centers. In 2013, Apple announced it was investing more than $10 billion in supply-chain robots.
"While interesting developments on their own, taken together these moves represent a galvanizing moment for the U.S. robotics industry. According to the International Federation of Robotics, the worldwide market for industrial robotics systems is worth $29 billion.
"About 235,000 robots are already in use inside U.S. factories, placing the U.S. second to Japan in robot use, according to May numbers from the Robotic Industries Association (RIA). Advances in technology are making robots less expensive, pulling them out of the military and medical realms and pushing them into smaller and medium-size companies, private tech firms and even the consumer market. For years Japan has dominated the robotics industry."
In this course, Baker discusses how and when to use key methods for educational data mining and learning analytics. Participants will learn about methods being developed by researchers in educational data mining, learning analytics, learning at scale, student modeling, and artificial intelligence in education. Baker will discuss how to use each method to answer education research questions and to drive intervention and improvement in educational software and systems.

A study characterized as "imperative" to the future of the port has taken a turn but continues forward.
The study, to analyze the Return on Investment (ROI) that could be realized with a developed and operational Port of Port St. Joe, has been undertaken by a private consulting firm, but is still on track to be completed by next month.
Originally, a representative of the Haas Center at the University of West Florida, which studies economic trends in Northwest Florida, verbally agreed that the center would undertake the study.
A preliminary approval was given by the Port St. Joe Port Authority.
However, a contract could not be completed due to various factors and with the guidance of staff at the Haas Center the Port Authority was put in contact with the Washington Economic Group out of Coral Gables.
That consultant will perform the study along the same timeline and at the same cost the Haas Center staff had agreed upon, roughly $20,000 which is being paid from the Florida Department of Transportation grant funding work on an application to dredge the shipping channel.
"It is critical we move forward with this study," said Port Authority chair Leonard Costin. "Time is of the essence. That document is key to funding for dredging."
The ROI study would present the case for the Port Authority to the Florida Legislature in the effort to secure funding for dredging of the federally-authorized ship channel.
Jorge Gonzalez, senior vice president of the St. Joe Company, collaborators with the Port Authority on port development, said the company is focusing its lobbying efforts on that case.
The case begins with two Letters of Intent between St. Joe and two energy companies, one located in Northwest Florida, to ship wood pellets through the Port of Port St. Joe.
Those agreements hinge on dredging occurring by the end of 2014 or early in 2015.
Further, Costin recently announced a letter of interest from the Holland M. Ware Foundation to ship aggregate and sand through the port and over the Apalachicola Northern Railroad.
The state budget contains a $5 million appropriation for the AN rail line and the Ware Foundation letter expresses the interest provided dredging of the shipping channel is completed.
Gonzalez said the $5 million rail improvement appropriation is pending distribution as state officials look for a "path ahead to dredging" of the Port of Port St. Joe.
"We are optimistic with the progress," Gonzalez said of that path. "As long as the trend is positive, the feedback from companies is encouraging.
"That is our focus right now. We have two live companies that want to invest in the community. We are actively working with those companies."
As four engineering companies work to complete the dredge application, funding for the dredging, which has been estimated in the tens of millions of dollars, during this legislative session is critical.
"That ROI study is imperative," said board member Eugene Raffield, who has suggested any ROI study include the costs of not developing the port given the millions in infrastructure already in place.
"This is not our port, it's everybody's port," Raffield said. "This is a regional concept. We finally have some traction. That ROI study is so important."
While the long view becomes brighter for the Port of Port St. Joe, the short-term continues to be vexing.
Once again, the Port Authority board discussed how to move ahead without a full-time port director and only a volunteer administrative assistant on staff.
Costin said he had raised or had pledged nearly $5,000 with another $2,500 in-kind support, and the Economic Development Alliance, Inc. has committed to sponsoring a golf tournament in the spring to benefit the Port Authority.
The city of Port St. Joe contributed $10,000 in BP fine money for Florida Ports Council dues and liability insurance.
The EDA board has also pledged to assist in bringing Florida Ports Council dues current to keep the Port of Port St. Joe "at the table" during discussions about state projects and funding.
The port board chose not to vote on a written proposal brought by board member Johanna White that would bring the county and St. Joe Company into the day-to-day operations of the port.
The Board of County Commissioners, she said, offered to provide assistance with administering grants while St. Joe could be the point-of-contact for the Port Authority, with phones rolled over to the company's offices and the company dealing with potential clients.
"The point of doing this is all of us working together for the common good," White said. "Each organization has strengths and this outlines the responsibilities."
County administrator Don Butler said he was there at the request of the BOCC to understand what the Port Authority was requesting and County Commissioner Joanna Bryan corrected White by clarifying the BOCC did not offer anything; commissioners were approached by White.
Port attorney Tom Gibson noted a significant hurdle if the county is in the loop on grants – the BOCC is subject to specific public records laws which could conflict with potential clients seeking confidentiality as they deal with the Port Authority.
Costin said he hoped to secure local volunteers to help man the phones and said he thought current operations were "fine."
Guerry Magidson of the EDA said that organization was in the process of hiring a staff person who could also assist the Port Authority.
Raffield said more than an operating agreement, the Port Authority needed to return to meeting once a month while urging that all stakeholders – the BOCC, municipalities, the St. Joe Company, etc. – attend.
Coordination among stakeholders, those who wish to invest in the port, who wish to see an operational port producing jobs, was essential.
"It is imperative we have all the groups at the table, working for the same things," Raffield said. "We should meet once a month and have anybody here that can help the port.
"If we don't get organized, know where are revenue streams are or are going to come from, we are kidding ourselves."

The Worst-Ever Attempt at Swiftboating
The "swift boat" attacks in the 2004 presidential election were effective, in part, because they played on real public anxiety: "We're fighting two wars, is now a good time to change leaders?" For a critical number of Americans, the answer was no, and John Kerry couldn't overcome the sense that we shouldn't change horses in midstream (to use a cliché).
"Dishonorable Disclosures" is a 22-minute video from a group of former special operations and C.I.A. officers that attempts to do the same to President Obama. The group, called Special Operations Education Fund (OPSEC), bills itself as a nonpartisan group—it calls on supporters to "stop the politicians, President Obama and others"— whose main goal is to inform the public. More specifically, it's registered as a 501(c)4, or "dark money" group, which doesn't have to reveal its donors to the public.
Its message is straightforward: The Obama administration is leaking sensitive national security information for the sake of political gain. In particular, the ad accuses Obama of bragging about the raid on Osama bin Laden's compound, and using its success as a weapon against his political opponents.
Of course, it's hard to take this seriously as "educational" when key members of the group have ties to the Republican Party. Scott Taylor, the president of OPSEC, ran as a Republican in Virginia's second congressional district (he lost the primary). The spokesperson, Chad Kolton, worked in the Bush administration, at the Republican National Committee, and in the office of John Boehner. OPSEC also shares an address with two GOP consulting firms—the Trailblazer Group and TelOpinion. I'd be surprised if that were a coincidence.
The video itself throws doubt on the group's intentions. It's saturated with anti-Obama content, and goes so far as to doctor a quote—from his address announcing the death of bin Laden—to portray the president as ungrateful to the troops. In that announcement, Obama thanked the "tireless and heroic work of our military and our counterterrorism professionals." OPSEC removes the line from its excerpt.
Of the GOP attacks to emerge over the last six months, this one makes the least sense. Obama has a commanding lead on national security; according to Gallup, 58 percent of Americans approve of how Obama has handled terrorism. The numbers on foreign affairs are lower—48 percent—but still solid. Moreover, even if there were doubts about Obama's performance, the GOP doesn't have a presidential ticket that could capitalize on them; neither Mitt Romney nor Paul Ryan has anything close to meaningful foreign policy experience. Romney, in particular, has developed a reputation for saying outlandish things about our position in the world, i.e., "Russia is our number one geopolitical foe." The less Romney talks about national security, the better.
My guess is that this is part of a kitchen-sink strategy—throw as much as you can at the opponent and see what sticks. But after one failed war and another unnecessary one, Americans are deeply skeptical of anything conservatives have to say about defense. If anything, this attack might help Obama, by reminding the public of just what happened the last time you let a Republican sit as commander-in-chief.
Thu, 2012-08-16 21:01
Bin Laden was taken out on Obama's watch, and it galls conservatives that they cannot attack the POTUS for being weak against foreign terrorist threats.
Had this accomplishment been made when Bush was still President, Rove, Sununu, and other right wing blowhards would be singing his praises and hailing him as a genius for his military leadership and clandestine operation decision-making.

Regardless of your political side, you cannot ignore the facts of disclosure. Tell me you think it is ok to disclose the secrets as they have been. Tell me it is ok to put lives in danger for the sake of pumping your chest. Seriously, they could have taken a better approach to the publicizing of the intel. Like waiting for the smoke to clear.
I don't have affiliations to any party and wish the extremists would just back down some and stop saying it's "their fault". Both parties are wrong almost every day about something. All that this does is drive this country to hatred instead of trying to keep it together.
Yes, the video may have political gain in it, but regardless of who is ion office, if Bush did this, I would hope we would have beat him down. If Clinton were in, him too. I don't care which 'side' is in or not...just try to get along for the country, and not for your own agenda. Timing is everything!

1. Same address? Like ACORN and the SEIU?
2. Jack Nicholson said it best in; Invasion from Mars: "Can't we all just....get along?"
That was a second generation quote the original was Rodney King, during the LA Riots.
As a Veteran with some exposure to Special Operations in my 16 years, This Video is CORRECT. Disclosure of OpSEC information compromises all future operations.
The President placed immediate threats upon the special operations cadre, and their families. It is INCOMPETENCE, and glory gathering for Political gain.
The world will be a better place when the TRAITOR leaves office.

"Attacking a sitting president as weak is not the best idea" Where was this outrage with Dems said the same, and much, much worse about Bush? Then you add, "especially when he ordered the attack that killed Osama bin Laden." Substitute "Sadam Hussein" Your short memory, or your stupidity is showing.
Sat, 2012-08-18 16:26
Saddam Hussein was not responsible for 3000 American deaths in a terrorism strike. Neither did he possess those deadly WMDs which was one of Bush's pretexts for involving us in a senseless war which resulted in more, needless, American deaths, not to mention the lack of respect it engendered in many parts of the world. If I were you, I'd be a little bit more circumspect before throwing the word, stupidity, around.

Isn't it ironic how a left wing, jobless, blogger,hack will preach on his speculation of the political affiliation/motivation of the very people who provided his right to do so rather than comment on the very real and accurate content of their message.
Since other posts want to reference Jack Nicholson, I find it appropriate to add "you sleep under the very blanket of protection I provide and then question the manner in which I provide it". Circa... Early 90's... A few good men
Here is the reality... Labman: Your president had no choice but to agree to the execution of that operation because there were far too many members of our intelligence community/military that were urging him to act after having ascertained the target's location nearly a month prior to his "courageous" order. Any other action would be political suicide if the American people learned of it. Also, in your ignorance, you fail to recall to important things... 1) It was president Bush that instituted the operation and subsequent years of work that produced the end result that your president claims credit for and 2) On President Bush's watch our service members captured Saddam Hussein... I repeat, OUR SERVICE MEMBERS captured the single most wanted man on the planet. In his subsequent address, President Bush deflects every shred of credit to the men and women of our military. Bin Laden was a secondary target that was elevated AFTER husein was taken. The only real involvement your president had was the self agrandization parade after the fact.
To Paul Randall: Thank you for informing us that it was president Bush that "let Mullah Omar go". That has been an ongoing investigation that until now has been unable to establish the fact that Bush was on the ground in the middle east, tasked with Omar watch that day. I'm certain that with the testimony of a cowardly, non service member of your caliber, we can charge him with deriliction of duty.
Isn't it also ironic how those of us who have and continue to serve our country all seem to agree about this President's audacity and hypocricy while those who cowardly hide behind our shield will recklessly cast aspersions? Kinda like the band member questioning the quarterback isn't it? You don't here us quarterbacks telling you what songs to play do you?
How bout you carry my gear, get in the fight or mow my lawn... I don't care which but at least be productive. You three are examples of what has gone horribly wrong with MY COUNTRY!
Sat, 2012-08-18 16:52
We've yet to see President Obama swaggering around describing himself as a "war President." Or posing in full flight gear in front of a huge banner declaring !!!MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!!! on an aircraft carrier only a couple miles from OUR shores. Mission accomplished? Almost ten years later, Americans are still dying for no reason other than the placating of G.W. Bush's infantile ego. (BTW, change it to CHEERLEADER questioning the Q-Back, and your analogy fits Georgie Boy perfectly!)

Thanks for your interest in Premier Fantasy. This year's game has ended.
Please check out the latest ESPN fantasy games on the Fantasy Game Front Page
Sign Up For Segment 2
By James Quintong
ESPN Fantasy
Can you fit Wayne Rooney on your roster for the second half of the season?
The second half of the ESPN FC Premier Fantasy game is starting up, which means every fantasy manager must put together a brand new lineup, with player values reset but with a new set of 30 transfers. There are even special prizes for teams with the best scores for the second half of the season, which begins with the games the weekend of Jan. 10-11 and lasts through the end of the Premier League season.
The object of the game is still the same: to build a roster of 15 players, with a budget of 100 million, that will score you points based on their performance on the field. (The full scoring system is found here.)
Of course, you'll want to improve your team through the season, so you'll get 30 transfers per scoring segment (the Premier Fantasy game is split into two scoring segments, one from August through December, the other from January through the end of the season) to make changes to your roster. While your initial budget is 100 million, there's a good chance you'll have more money to play with to make transfers, as the value of your players will increase or decrease depending on their performance. You could "buy low" on a player early in the season, then sell him off to get a more expensive player down the line.
Each gameweek, you'll choose which 11 of your 15 players should be in your starting lineup, and you'll have a variety of formations from which to choose to set that lineup. You also have the option to designate one player as your team "captain," who will score double the points he usually would have gotten in a given period. You'll want to be very careful when setting lineups and designating captains, especially in weeks when teams aren't scheduled for a game or are set to play two times.
So do you think you know your way around the Premier League to build out the best roster? It's time to prove it once again!
