---- — Can anything really move the "needle of achievement" in our kids' schools? Over the years, we've sure spent a whale of a lot of money, time and lung power trying to answer that.
"School people" — by which I mean teachers, their unions and many well-meaning parents - say the answer is spending more, reducing class size, improving teacher training and support — plus finding ways to engage parents in their children's education.
But is our spending targeted at the right age group?
Much of the conventional debate seems mired in arguments over how much to spend and for what kind of schools.
A majority of the 5,500 Michigan citizens who participated in a series of community conversations The Center for Michigan held last year agree we should spend more on education.
Critics say the public schools as they now stand are hopeless, and breaking up their monopoly, increasing enrollment in charter schools and enforcing tougher values and discipline are better ideas, and give parents more and better choices.
But international data pulled together by James Heckman, a Nobel prize winning economist from the University of Chicago, may well have made the this long-running debate entirely irrelevant.
More startling, it suggests we may want to demolish the entire conventional U.S. approach to education.
Tests given several hundred low-birth weight 3-year-olds showed children of mothers who had graduated from college scored much higher at age 3 than those whose mothers had dropped out of high school. Conclusion: Kids who grow up in rich, stimulating environments do well in school.
Not surprising. But they were retested at ages 5, 8 and 18 — and the difference in test scores at the end was just the same as it was at age 3. "The gap is there before kids walk into kindergarten," Heckman told the New York Times' Eduardo Porter.
"School neither increases nor reduces it."
Good schools and effective schooling for all are widely assumed to make up for differences in family culture, income and other inequities. But Heckman's data suggest that doesn't seem to be the case. All things being equal, babies who start behind are still behind by the time they've finished school.
If that turns out to be true, it's a scandal, especially considering that as a nation, we spend something like 5.5 percent of our entire economic output on education from preschool through college.
But most of the money is allocated to the K-12 and college parts of the education continuum, with only small fractions spent on infants and toddlers — which may well be the heart of the problem.
A recent study by OECD, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, compared U.S. spending on early childhood, grade school and post high school.
This country spends just a little over 10 percent on early childhood programs, compared with Finland, which spends around 30 percent. In Michigan, we spend around $1 billion per grade in our K-12 system, but only $109.3 million on the Great Start Readiness Program, the state's preschool program aimed at 4-year-olds.
And study after study concludes that early childhood investments in disadvantaged infants and toddlers pays enormous dividends, whether in school performance, high school graduation rates, college completion, even criminality.
That's why it's so encouraging that Gov. Rick Snyder and both parties in the Michigan Legislature seem on track to sharply increase spending on the Great Start Readiness Program.
Let's hope they follow through.

|The hadeeth, "Seek knowledge even if it be to China"
Related by ibn Adee (2/207)m Abu Nu'aym in 'Akhbaar Asbahaan' and others via many routes of narration, and all of them adding the words "for indeed seeking knowledge is an obligatory duty upon all Muslims."
Ibn al-Jawzee mentions this and then quotes ibn Hibbaan saying, "invalid/rejected, it has no basis" 'al-Mawdoo'aat' (1/215)]
adh-Dhahabee also endorsed the above words of ibn Hibbaan, ['Tarteeb al-Mawdoo'aat' of adh-Dhahabee (pg. 52 no. 111)] and likewise as-Sakhaawee ['Maqaasid al-Hasanah' (pg. 86 no. 125)]
al-Albaanee declares this hadeeth to be maudu (fabricated) ['Da'eef al-Jaami as-Sagheer' (no's 1005-1006)]
In summary, the above hadeeth is related by a group of trustworthy narrators without the words "even if it be to China" and a few narrators who are deemed weak/liars/abandoned by the scholars narrate this additional wording. So the hadeeth with the additional wording is fabricated, but without is hasan (good). [See 'Silsilah ad-Da'eefah' (1/600 no. 416) for detail.]

Budget Accommodation Europe Ukraine Odessa
Odessa, a port city on the Black Sea is Ukraine's fourth largest city with a population of about 1 million. Built by order of Catherine the Great with the vision of creating a St Petersburg of the south, its architecture owes much to French influence. The old centre of the city is about 215 years old, built to a grid plan.

Odesa has a lot of stray cats on its streets and dogs in wilder areas. The cats make green areas or courtyards, etc, smell of cat-pee. It pervades the city and the locals must see it as normal.

As expected, the Jets placed the highest possible tender on WR Braylon Edwards late Wednesday.
GM Mike Tannenbaum had made the team's plans for tendering Edwards clear months ago. A club would have to give up a first- and third-round pick to sign Edwards, who was acquired in a trade with the Browns in October.
Tannenbaum said this would be a very important offseason for Edwards and he emphasized how important it would be for Edwards to participate in all of the team's offseason activities. Edwards has yet to say whether he will attend those activities.

TRAVERSE CITY — Two Traverse City tennis teams will be favored to win regional titles today.
St. Francis has five No. 1 seeds in the Division IV regional at Ludington while Traverse City Central has three No. 1 seeds in the Division I regional at Midland.
The Gladiators, ranked No. 5, will need to beat nemesis Ludington, which has won the last two regionals after dropping down from Division III.
The good news for St. Francis — the Gladiators have beaten every team in the regional in a dual this season.
"If the math holds, "St. Francis coach Paul Bandrowski said. "But tennis is a funny game. Every day is a new day. Duals are not like a tournament.
"We told the kids that you've got to go out there and play every point, every game, every match. You can't take anything for granted. You have to go out there and play like every point matters, that every point is precious."
Earning No. 1 seeds for the Gladiators were Gus Danz at No. 2 singles, Jack Krcmarik at No. 3, Patrick Burke at No. 4, Blake Bandrowski and Jay Jones at No. 1 doubles and Brady Ray and Nathan Tafelsky at No. 2.
Ludington has the No. 1 seeds at No. 3 and No. 4 doubles. The Orioles have several No. 2 seeds.
"They're right on our tail," Bandrowski said. "It could go down to the wire."
Harbor Springs' Sam Hart is the No. 1 seed at No. 1 singles.
Bandrowski also expects Whitehall to contend. The top two teams automatically advance to the state finals.
Central, ranked No. 7, will be looking to defend its regional crown. But, coach Larry Nykerk admits, it will not be easy.
"It's going to be very tight," he said. "I'm not feeling comfortable at all."
Picking up No. 1 seeds for Central were Caleb Heimburger and Hayden Drury at No. 1 doubles, Parker Berden and Yani Beeker at No. 2 and Jack Seymour and Austin Wieland at No. 3. The Trojans also have three No. 2 seeds.
Grand Blanc is the No. 1 seed in all four singles flights. Midland Dow owns the No. 1 seed at No. 4 doubles. Both of those schools will challenge Central.
West's Erik Anton and Dave Mather are the No. 2 seed at No. 4 doubles.

Jenna Goudreau, Forbes Staff
I write about business and women's leadership.
Last week, I published what I believed to be a story of one woman's triumph against incredible odds. Ping Fu, founder of tech company Geomagic, which is in the process of being acquired by publicly traded 3D Systems, penned the new memoir Bend, Not Break (Portfolio/Penguin), detailing her story as a child during China's Cultural Revolution who was separated from her parents, tortured and raped, assigned to work in factories rather than attend a formal school, and eventually deported to the US to make a new life for herself as an entrepreneur. Since the publication of my piece, first in English and then in Chinese on ForbesChina.com, along with coverage by other media outlets serious questions have been raised in the Chinese blogosphere and elsewhere about Fu's credibility.
Writers on my blog have been critical too. Commenter Fugang Sun wrote: "I experienced Culture Revolution and know a lot horrific stories happened in that era in person…. However, most of the stories listed in article are faked." In the same vein, another skeptical commenter wrote: "There are already many voices questioning the validity of Ms. Fu's story. From my view and experience it may very well be what it is: a story."
I followed up with Fu to get her response to the backlash. To accusations that she exaggerated or fabricated parts of her story, Fu says there were subtleties that were lost between the American and Chinese audiences. One point of contention was that a child would not have been sent to a "labor camp" (my word choice). Fu says in China this literally means a prison camp for forced labor and is inaccurate. However, she says she did live alone beginning at age 8 with her younger sister in a one-room dormitory at an evacuated university campus controlled by the government. She confirms that instead of going to school she was assigned to factory work at age 9. The press release for the memoir refers to her as a "child soldier" and a "factory worker." However, Chinese critics questioned how she came to be a child factory worker, saying it was a prized job during that period. Fu responds that she was not a "worker" in the traditional Chinese understanding because she was not paid for this work and did it in lieu of formal schooling.
It also raised eyebrows that she said she had been exiled or deported from China, when there is no official record of it. When I asked her to address it, Fu says "exile" is not the correct word, despite that it's used in the press release being sent to media members to promote her memoir. The release first states "Ping was deported," and later repeats "Ping was exiled."
"In the beginning of the book I said the Chinese government quietly deported me," she says. In fact, it is the first line. "We could say that was a literary interpretation. I was asked to leave. My father helped me to find a visa to the US. I was told not to talk about it or to file for political asylum. My interpretation was I involuntary left China….If someone wants to say this is not deportation, fine. That's my interpretation." Who asked her to leave? "The police," she says.
When I first interviewed her, Fu described being taken in by the police shortly before her college graduation, not being able to graduate and being asked to leave the country. She said, "I was told to leave, and I had two weeks." I looked back at the timeline she presented and noticed that there was a span of six to seven years between when she took her Suzhou University entrance exam (1977) and arrived in the US (January 1984). When I asked her to confirm it, she says she didn't start college until the fall of 1978, which she says would have put graduation in the fall of 1982, and that she got in trouble with the police in 1983. I asked: Isn't there a timing gap of a year? "That's true. That's a good question," Fu says. "Let me go back and verify that one."
Late last night, Fu's publicist emailed me that they "confirmed that Ping started school in 1978 and left school in the fall of 1982 after being held by the government. She arrived in the U.S. on January 14, 1984." So she was at home for over year before the police asked her to leave China? "The government asked Ping to leave a couple of weeks after her release," the publicist wrote me. "However, getting a passport was very difficult, if not impossible, at that time. Even though Ping was asked to leave China, she had to wait for an official passport to be issued."
When asked how she would respond generally to the criticism, Fu says: "Whatever the report, they should go with my book. Most people complaining have not read my book." As of now, however, the book has not been translated or distributed in China.
Hi Larry, it could be true that she had very little money when she came to US.
I myself come to the US with about $50 that the Chinese government allowed me to exchange, which was not enough for a cab from the airport to school (a friend who was here few year earlier picked me up). I was dependent on $800/mon financial aid (in the form of Research Assistant) to get me through the Ph.D. program. I was asked to pay registration fee first but I had no money, and was offered an emergency loan which I have to pay registration fee to get. A very nice professor lend me $1000 to get me around the peculiar situation: I paid the registration, got the emergency loan and paid back the professor in the same day!
This does not mean I am endorsing Ms Fu. She is lying in many ways.
Dear Dr. Who,
Thank you for your humor :-)
For other readers, I just want to emphasize that Ms. Ping Fu's situation as described in her book is:
1. No money at all in her pocket
2. No friend or relative to help her
In addition, I would assume that she did not receive full scholarship, since she was weak in English and was to take part in English as a Second Language program, which virtually never offered a full scholarship.
Then something must be not true in above statements, because she did succeed in enrollment into the university.
Hi gv sw0001,
Lucky you, that you had financial aid!
Imaging you went to ESL instead, and no friend to offer help, would you have been able to handle it?
About the Gang rape claim, she not only claimed to have been gang raped, but also suggested that it happened pretty much out in the open, and was also public knowledge because as she claimed, people were calling her "Broken shoes". This is a very extraordinary story, because as much as all the atrocities committed during the cultural revolution, sex and rape definitely don't bold well with the general public, because pleasure of the flesh was very much a "capitalism" thing.
This is an interesting article that raises so many issues in my mind that I felt the need to respond. While I am not Chinese I have a Chinese wife who was born and raised in Nanjng at almost the same time as Ping Fu. Her family were of the highest status and lost all to the Maoist revolutionaries. I have travelled widely and had the rare privilege of glimpsing China through Chinese eyes. While there may be questions about detail lost in the mists of time it is none the less difficult to deny that the general thrust of the book is untrue. To the Chinese denial of history and truth, especially to avoid loss of face, is a common place activity. I wonder if some of those who wish to deny this, no doubt largely true account, of life in Maoist China, do not wish to be asked to face reality. I read extensively across many Chinese and other Asian publications and the constant thread among them all is the inability to have an informed debate about anything to do with China. Today, to my mind, Chinese culture has, hopefully temporarily, lost its way. Important humanistic and social values have been lost and replaced in many cases with materialism, individualism, narcissism and selfishness. Chinese society and individuals are encouraged, to view themselves as highly nationalistic victims and therefore respond to any form of criticism, valid or not, in aggressive and defensive form. In private at least, some Chinese will agree at least to the sentiment of my comments. I least of anyone have any agenda to be negative about China, a country in so many ways I love and which has so much to offer, but unless the people can be ready to accept the hurtful truth about some of the problems they face, rather than the sweeter but fabricated alternatives, progress and the so often advocated , harmonious society, will not, in my view, be achievable.
Then please give a copy to your wife and let her tell you how she thinks about it.
As someone who witnessed her Grandfather murdered in Suzhuo by Red Guards I doubt she would have much argument with the general thrust of the book.
Dear Sir, would you please go to the 200+ 1-star comments left by us refuse-to-face history Chinese, especially Lin's? Please make clear the difference between "disclose Ping Fu's fake story" and "hush up the dark cultural revolution". Please also notice the difference between "many people suffered/persecuted" and "Ping Fu was among those miserable people".
We are against this book not because we deny our history, but because Ping fu gained what she does not deserve by pretending a victim, and now she is trying to obtain more fortune and fame by selling the lying again. Ask your wife whether an anti-government Chinese could be told to leave the country and go to U.S. with a passport provided by the Chinese government in early 1980s. Please notice the time of EARLY 1980s. You may be familiar with the deportation approach, because such cases happened in 1989 and after. But NEVER in early 1980s OK?
Ping Fu didn't lose any family member. She joined the Red Guards with political-clean background and enjoyed sufficient conditions to continue study and enter college. You think she suffered? Then how about those beaten to death like my grandpa? How about those "politically dirty" who were deprived of any chance of college education? Oh, there was also her thesis attacking one-child policy- ask your wife if People's Daily, or any newspaper in 1980s, would allow such a thesis or similar opinions published. If such a reporting never exited, then what did her "evil policemen" come for? then why on earth she left China? Why she didn't just say she wanted to study abroad, like so many Chinese students did?
I had much difficulty reading your sentence " it is none the less difficult to deny that the general thrust of the book is untrue". I guess you are a well-educated person who can use such complex multiple-negation grammar in writing. Would you please think critically and logically on this topic?
OK. China has many serious problems. Chinese have many serious problems. But that does not give Ping Fu excuses to lie after lie about her life in China.
She is not the victim in China many years ago as she claimed. That is an insulting to the real victims like your wife's family during the Culture Revolution.
Lu's current action of spreading lies or half-truth on multiple media is an open mocking at our sense of truth, integrity and decency. The fact that her fabrication about her life in China is so easily accepted as truth by so many Americans worry me a lot on many levels.
Therefore I have to say Ms. Fu's life experience was far from the worst when I fast forwarded back to what I witnessed as a teenager of the ruthless beatings of the innocent people in our neighborhood by the red guards. One old lady, a middle school teacher, was beat to death; several more committed suicide within one week. The only crimes those dead people committed were business owners, USA educated and returned as university professors, employees from the old regime before 1949 Chinese communists takeover. Those American returnees were labeled American secret agents.
We cannot afford to forget and let those innocent Chinese people died in vain. In 1950s China had crackdown of anti-revolutionists campaign ,three-anti/five-anti movement (purge of capitalists), anti rightists movement. In 1960s there were socialist reforming campaign and eventually the notorious cultural revolution, then of course 64 event came mainly for college kids. Do we want to see history repeats? No way.
China economy has been booming ever since Mao's death and this economic miracle has been joint efforts of each and every Chinese citizen, even including overseas Chinese investors and business owners taking business and the capitals there.
I have noticed quite a few readers here have showed strong feelings against Ms. Fu's book for the real reasons I don't know. Was she full of lies against the great motherland or she was revealing the hometown skeleton out of the closet on a foreign soil with non Chinese language? I don't want to slit the hairs here with you guys. More likely少年教养所 Shao Nian Lao Jiao (Reform School for Youth) or 少年收容所Shou Rong Suo (Foster Agency for kids) should have been more close to the truth than 劳改Lao Gai (labor camp)
Let's all hope that one day when we go back to our native town for whatever reasons we would never suffer the same sufferings that our parent generation experienced and we would never been called the American secret agents.

Pianist, Singer and Barbra Streisand Producer Diana Krall Talks Obama, Tom Waits, And More
Diana Krall recently sat down with NPR Morning Edition's Steven Inskeep for one of her most candid interviews to date, and shared her unique method for interpreting standards including "The Boy From Ipanema" from her chart-topping album Quiet Nights. Listen to the full segment and web-only extras - including Krall's impromptu performances of songs by Randy Newman, Tom Waits and more here.
In the interview, Krall also discusses her children's love of astronauts and outer space, which was certainly on her mind last week when Krall had the prestigious honor of performing at NASA's gala celebrating the 40th Anniversary of the moonwalk.
You can hear more of Krall as she tours the West Coast throughout August and appears on Willie Nelson's new album American Classic (out Aug 25th on Blue Note Records). Krall, who has co-produced her last three albums, is also the producer and pianist behind the eagerly awaited new studio album from Barbra Streisand called Love Is The Answer (available September 29 on Columbia Records). This marks the first time that Krall has produced a record for other artists.

If a consumer takes a message/order from our queue and the consumer dies, our unprocessed message/order will die with it.
In order to make sure a message is never lost, RabbitMQ supports message acknowledgments or acks. When a consumer has received and processed a message, an acknowledgment is sent to RabbitMQ from the consumer informing RabbitMQ that it is free to delete the message. If a consumer dies without sending an acknowledgment, RabbitMQ will redeliver it to another consumer.
How to do it...
Let's navigate to our source code examples folder and locate the folder Message-Acknowledgement. Take a look at the consumer.js script and examine the changes we have made to support acks.
- We pass to the {ack:true} option to the q.subscribe function, which tells the queue that messages should be acknowledged before being removed:
q.subscribe({ack:true}, function(message) {
- When our message has been processed we call q.shift, which informs RabbitMQ that the message has been processed, and it can now be removed from the queue:
You can also use the prefetchCount option to increase the window of how many messages the server will send you before you need to send an acknowledgement. {ack:true, prefetchCount:1} is the default and will only send you one message before you acknowledge. Setting prefetchCount to 0 will make that window unlimited. A low value will impact performance, so it may be worth considering a higher value.
Let's demonstrate this concept.
- Edit the consumer.js script located in the folder Message-Acknowledgement. Simply comment out the line q.shift(), which will stop the consumer from acknowledging the messages.
- Open a command-line console and start RabbitMQ:
- Now open a command-line console, navigate to our source code examples folder, and locate the folder Message-Acknowledgement. Execute the following command:
Message-Acknowledgement> node producer
Let the producer create several message/orders; press Ctrl + C while on the command-line console to stop the producer creating orders. Now execute the following to begin consuming messages:
Message-Acknowledgement> node consumer
- Let's open another command-line console and run list_queues:
rabbitmqctl list_queues messages_ready
The response should display our shop queue; details include the name, the number of messages ready to be processed, and one message which has not been acknowledged.
Listing queues ...
shop.queue 9 1
- If you press Ctrl + C while on the command-line console, the consumer script is stopped, and then list the queues again you will notice the message has returned to the queue.
Listing queues ...
shop.queue 10 0
If you edit the change we made to consumer.js script and re-run these steps, the application will work correctly, consuming messages one at a time and sending an acknowledgment to RabbitMQ when each message has been processed.
This article explained a reliable message delivery process in RabbitMQ using Acknowledgements. It also listed the steps that will give you acknowledegements for a messaging application using scripts in RabbitMQ.

Brief hearings were conducted Wednesday afternoon in which Judge Jean C. Logue and attorneys briefly discussed the details of two upcoming murder trials.
John Payne, 39, is scheduled for a two-week trial starting April 15. He is accused of shooting and killing his girlfriend, Meredith King, and his mother, Cornelia Gayle Mullins, 55, in November 2010.
Payne is charged with two counts of murder and one count each of theft by unlawful taking and convicted felon in possession of a handgun.
Although it was announced at a prior status hearing, Commonwealth's Attorney David Smith reminded the court that unless the case is resolved prior to trial, he is seeking the death penalty.
Logue noted that because of the length of the trial and the nature of the punishment sought by the prosecution, a larger-than-usual jury pool will need to be summoned.
Smith said after the hearing that about 90 people are usually summoned at a time for jury duty, and he expected at least triple that number to be called for the Payne trial.
Smith said he and Payne's attorney, Brian Barker, still need to sit down and go over the discovery in the case.
"I just want to make sure he's got it all," Smith said.
Logue set the next status conference in the case for Feb. 8. She said there would be more discussion about the jury pool at that hearing.
Hearing in Warford, Walker double-homicide
Matthew Denholm, 28, and Daniel Keene, 27, appeared in court for Wednesday's second status hearing. The two men are accused of taking money to kill Charles Walker, 30.
The bodies of Walker and his girlfriend, Sonsaray Warford, also 30, were found in shallow graves off Tates Creek Road in March 2012. The couple had been missing since June 2010.
A jury trial in the case is set for Aug. 12, and it's expected to take two to three weeks. Denholm and Keene are charged with two counts each of murder, kidnapping and abuse of a corpse. They face one count each of first-degree burglary and tampering with physical evidence.
Logue asked Smith if a decision had been made on whether the prosecution would seek the death penalty in the case.
Smith said Keene and Denholm's attorneys had asked that the discovery process be completed before anything was filed concerning the death penalty.
"It's moving slowly, but it's moving," Smith said.
Another status hearing in the case is set for 10 a.m. April 19.

Cincinnati lawyer Stanley Chesley - for decades one of the leading class-action trial lawyers in the country - has been disbarred from practicing law in Kentucky over his actions in a diet drug settlement.
The Kentucky Supreme Court accepted the recommendation of the Kentucky Bar Association to disbar Chesley from practicing law, but did not order him to pay $7.5 million in restitution, as the association had recommended.
Because Ohio has a reciprocal agreement with Kentucky, Chesley, who lives in Indian Hill, could lose his license to practice law in Ohio too.
Northern Kentucky is posting strong jobs numbers for 2012. The Tri-County Economic Development Corporation reports 24 companies announced new locations or expansion projects last year, creating nearly 3,774 jobs.
Boone County Judge Executive and Tri-Ed Chairman Gary Moore says that's pretty good given the economic situation.
"This is the fourth highest as far as job creation... in our 25 year history," he says. "It's the seventh highest in capital investment. All of these are great signs that Northern Kentucky is positioned well for future growth and recovery."
Cincinnati Council did not vote Wednesday on funding a feasibility study for the Westwood Civic Square project. The decision was delayed after the Westwood Civic Association said the plan needs more discussion. In a letter the group said right now it's not for or against the project. Becky Weber with the association spoke to Council.

Courier Staff Writer
When Election Day comes, said a visiting Democrat, it'll be Iowa that puts President Barack Obama back in the White House.
Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak, who is vice chairman of the Democratic National Committee, hopped off the Obama bus Wednesday to rally supporters at Wapello County Democratic Headquarters.
The devastation from Hurricane Sandy has the president's attention right now, Rybak said, which is why the mayor, instead of Obama, was touring Iowa.
"Our thoughts are with those people on the East Coast," Rybak said.
When various disasters hit Minneapolis, like the tornado that came through, he recalled, a call from the president of the United States was reassuring to him.
"I know what that meant to me, that calm, clear voice saying, 'How do I help?' And that's what he's doing [for] leaders on the East Coast right now."
But while the president cuts back on campaigning to assist on the coast, Rybak said, the workload for Iowa supporters will be heavier than ever.
Supporters cheered, calling out a willingness to spread the word about their candidate.
The mayor said some voters may need to be reminded that a disaster of a different sort was waiting for Obama when he took office. And for those undecided voters who say we're not where we need to be, Rybak suggested reminding them that an economic Titanic had already struck the iceberg four years ago. Obama got us into the lifeboats and has rowed halfway to shore.
Obama needs the chance to finish the job, he said.
Iowa is where the momentum really got rolling for Obama's first campaign, said Rybak, and "Iowa" is a well-loved word in "Obama Land." The president is in Washington now, Rybak said, but he cares about Iowa. He added that Iowans ask tough questions and want hard work out of the people they hire to do a job.
Iowans, just like the people of Minnesota, want to be able to look someone in the eye and know where they stand with that person. Obama is the candidate who has that integrity, Rybak said — and he doesn't switch his position week to week for political purposes. Iowans respect that.
"I think on election night, we're going to see [Iowa] push the president over the top," Rybak said.
Not so fast, say local Republicans.
Wapello County Republican Chairwoman Trudy Caviness agrees that Iowa may be the state to tip the election — but not on which direction it'll be tipped.
"I feel the outcome will be different than their opinion. From what I hear, Romney is probably in the lead in Iowa. It's going to be a 'turnout election' [with the key being] who can get their people to the polls."
She unknowingly echoed Rybak's words when she said that Iowans were diligent in finding someone they can rely on, and that they take their "first in the nation" status very seriously when it comes to choosing a president.
"So many of the models say Iowa is going to be the deciding factor," Caviness said Wednesday. "It's hard to think of Iowa [being so key] with this small number of electoral votes, but that's what I'm hearing from both the Romney Ryan campaign and the Republican National Committee. I'm not sure Iowans [voting Tuesday] understand how important they will be."

Positive Experience
Average Interview
The process took 3 weeks - interviewed at Toyota in February 2012.
Interview Details – I got an email from a hiring manager about setting up a phone interview. The phone interview was fairly easy and consisted of the general questions like "why Toyota" and "are you willing to travel" as well as some behavioral interview questions drawing from your work and education experiences. The interview was conducted by the hiring manager and two other people who worked in procurement. A few days later I got a call saying they would fly me out to their offices in Kentucky for an in-person interview. The flew me out and put me up at a hotel. The interview took about 2 hours. I first interviewed with two people who asked me about my background, some more behavioral questions, and an easy math problem solving question (they even give you a calculator). After that, I met with another person for much shorter, more laid back interview. He just asked about my previous experiences. Then the hiring manager gave me a bunch of material about Toyota and what it's like to live in Cincinnati. Later that night, myself and some other interviewees had dinner with some people who are currently buyers at Toyota. So, overall it was a fairly easy interview process. Everybody was really nice. Although, I ended not getting the job.
Interview Question – Which is the better scenario?
1) Buy 10 million widgets with a fixed cost of $200,000 and a variable cost of $1
2) Buy 10 million widgets with a fixed cost of $10,000 and a variable cost of $1.05

Peraves has announced it is expanding its production facilities to enable the production of 100 Monotracers in 2009. The €49,750 enclosed motorcycle is powered by a 1171cc BMW K-series engine producing 130bhp, giving it a top speed in excess of 155mph. At max lean — 52 degrees — the side-mounted stabilizer wheels touch down, acting like mechanical versions of a rider's knee. If you manage to stump up the €50k and get a place on the list, be prepared to fly to Switzerland not only to collect your Peraves Monotracer, but also to take the mandatory training course.

WENDELL — What was billed as a direct line to the Wake County schools superintendent was more like an unanswered call Thursday night.
Only a handful of Wake school staffers attended a session for school employees to let Superintendent James Merrill know what was on their mind. And, later that evening, just one member of the public turned out to speak to the superintendent.
The session was the first of five meetings scheduled across Wake County for Merrill to hear people's concerns about the school system or education issues important to them.
At East Wake High School on Thursday, Wake N.C. Association of Educators President Larry Nilles, who is an East Wake High School graduate, told Merrill he thinks school employees would benefit from long-term leadership and planning.
"As you well know, we've had six superintendents in the last three and a half years," Nilles said. "That's been bad for us mostly because we haven't had any vision. What I hope is that we'll have some time to look together to set long term goals for ourselves and our students that we can measure against," Nilles said.
Other teachers who spoke asked Merrill to set reasonable expectations for students with disabilities. Another expressed concern over the aging technology in the school, asking Merrill to start planning for the cost of replacing that equipment.
Later, when parents and the general public were given their turn to speak, only Brian Mountcastle of Raleigh braved the evening cold. He thanked Merrill for bringing his tour to eastern Wake County, and he asked him to overlook the light turnout.
"This is the first time in 11 years … that anyone has come out here and asked us what we thought. Even though you do not see a big parent turnout, it's not that we are not interested. We ask that you keep coming back. We just need to work long term," Mountcastle said.
Merrill said later that he wasn't concerned about the low turnout:
"This is the first time we've done anything like this. I think we did a good job publicizing it, but we'll go back and look at what we can do to get the word out more."
The next meeting is scheduled at Broughton High School on Monday. Other sessions will be held at Panther Creek, Southeast Raleigh and Wakefield high schools.

Retailers, consumers and prices
Expect more promos, less help this holiday
The financial crisis of the past two months has rocked retailers, and many are now planning to hire fewer seasonal workers and roll out promotions earlier than planned to try to salvage holiday sales, according to a recent survey by the Hay Group.
The human resources consulting firm conducted an informal survey in September with 20 of the top American retailers, including Best Buy, JC Penney, Costco, and Macy's to get a glimpse into their plans for the holiday season.
The group then ran the survey again this month to find out how those plans may have changed given the recent financial crisis. Here is what the they found:
Holiday Sales
In September, 60% of participants were planning on an increase in sales
In November, 38% are expecting a decrease of 5-15% and 29% are expecting the same level of sales
Store Promotions
In September, 45% indicated they would run the most store promotions on Black Friday, 45% indicated they would run consistent promotions from mid-December to January, and 13% indicated they would run the most after Christmas.
In November, 33% indicated they'd run the most store promotions on Black Friday, and 57% indicated they'd run consistent promotions from now until New Year's

PITTSBURGH -- Greetings from the Steel City, where I'll spend the weekend checking in on several old friends as the Mets and Pirates meet at PNC Park -- which is about as good as it gets in the big leagues for ballparks.
Look for plenty of quips from Terry Collins and Ken Oberkfell and I'm planning chats with the likes of Justin Turner and Dillon Gee, who is starting tonight's series opener and looking to become the first rookie in franchise history to open a season 7-0. Pretty heady stuff for the guy who won 13 games in Buffalo last year and was the team's Opening Day starter this season.
As discussed in this space last night, the Mets called up Lucas Duda today from the Bisons (no, I didn't drive him down with me!). Richly deserved. Other than Jeff Manto's outbursts in 1997 and 1998, I have never seen anyone as hot as Duda has been the last two weeks in Buffalo.
I'm also looking forward to taking a look at the Pirates, who are battling to finish at .500 for the first time since 1992 (or since Sid Bream slid home). New manager Clint Hurdle has been in the World Series twice in the last four years (as manager of the '07 Rockies and hitting coach of last year's Rangers) and is definitely having an impact.
The Bisons, meanwhile, close their series with Indianapolis tonight at 7:30 (Rodney McKissic will be at the helm at Coca-Cola Field) before Columbus comes to town Saturday night.

Dan Scanlon, film director and artist at Pixar Animation Studios, will serve as the official Artist-In-Residence at the 52nd annual Michigan Youth Arts Festival, which will take place May 8-10, 2014, in Kalamazoo.
Scanlon, a native of Clawson, MI, is most recently known for directing Disney·Pixar's 14th feature film, "Monsters University," which received the 2013 "Hollywood Animation Award" from the Hollywood Film Awards. Scanlon has also worked as a storyboard artist for the award-winning feature films, "Cars" and "Toy Story 3," co-directed the short film "Mater and the Ghostlight," and served on the senior creative team for "Brave."
Prior to joining Pixar, Scanlon worked as an animator for a variety of films, including, "The Little Mermaid II: Return to the Sea," "101 Dalmatians II: Patch's London Adventure," "Joseph: King of Dreams," and "The Indescribable Nth."
"We're absolutely thrilled to give Michigan's top youth talent an interactive experience with such a renowned professional in the creative field," said Marianne Dorais, Executive Director of Michigan Youth Arts. "It's important for students to know that they can build exciting and promising careers in the arts, and we're overjoyed that Dan Scanlon will be there as proof of that inspiring message. If students are encouraged to embrace their creativity, they are more likely to pursue work that fits their personal definition of success."
Scanlon is an alumnus of Digital Arts, Film & Television (DAFT), one of the 16 statewide arts education organizations associated with the Michigan Youth Arts Festival.
As Artist-In-Residence of the Festival, Scanlon will provide a lecture and presentation for all 1,000 high school participants - all of whom have demonstrated exceptional talent in one of the following artistic disciplines: instrumental music, vocal music, dance, theatre, digital arts, creative writing, visual arts, or music composition.
Scanlon will also conduct specialized master classes for students in select disciplines. One session will be free and open to the public to observe; dates and times to be determined.
To participate in the Festival, Michigan high school students must earn the highest scores throughout yearlong adjudication events, coordinated by Michigan Youth Arts' 16 statewide partner associations.
The top 1,000 students are then invited to the Festival, which consists of three days and two overnights on the campus of Western Michigan University. All participants will attend discipline-specific master classes, led by industry professionals, and will showcase their work in the form of 50 live musical and theatrical performances, a film festival, a published book of creative writing, and a visual arts exhibit. All performances and exhibitions are free and open to the public.
Other featured Guest Artists at the 2014 Michigan Youth Arts Festival will include: Judy Bowers (All-State Honors Choir conductor), Kristen Harvey (dance clinician), Greg Jasperse (vocal jazz conductor), Mark Liermann (theatre clinician), Telaina Morse Eriksen (creative writing clinician), Ronald Newman (music composition clinician), Garik Pedersen (piano clinician), Bruce Uchimura (strings clinician), Donald Schleicher (Honors Orchestra conductor), and Scott Teeple (Honors Band conductor).

Fresno Heart & Surgical Facts

While the average person may not realize the world-class expertise Dr. Kelvin Higa brings to his patients at Fresno Heart & Surgical Hospital, those involved in the world of bariatric medicine see it very clearly.
For the second time in just two months, Community Medical Centers has received an improved financial rating that cites strong clinical services and stellar management among other attributes as a case for the upgrade.
Recognized as the healthcare leader performing the highest level cardiac procedures in the region, Community Regional Medical Center was recently awarded a 3-star rating for coronary artery bypass graft from the Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS).
Hospital chaplains are now being trained in the Central Valley through a collaboration of local hospitals, and faith and education groups seeking to serve the spiritual and emotional needs of patients and their families.
At a time when other nonprofit hospitals across the nation are being downgraded, Community Medical Centers' new ratings assessment from Standard & Poor's has been upgraded from BBB/Stable to BBB/Positive. This is a long-term rating/outlook on our hospital revenue bonds.
The improved outlook, which could be a significant benefit to Community's long-term financial leverage, was based on four main factors:

The Port Arthur News
Former Leader sports editor,
Big 33 guru Cervelli dies at 79
Fred Cervelli, former sports editor of the Orange Leader, died Wednesday at 79 at his home in Austin. Besides being an award-winning writer, Fred was the genius who assembled the Texas all-star teams which won three straight games against Pennsylvania's best to end a "bragging rights" Big 33 series.
Participants in the games included Lamar coach Bill Bradley, who QB'd a 26-10 Texas victory in 1965; and Southeast Texans Jerry Levias, Steve Worster, Cotton Speyrer, Steve Stuart, Paul Robichau, Tody Smith and Robert Hall.
Cervelli left the area in the late 60s to become press secretary for
the state AFL-CIO. He retired after losing his sight to a rare retina
disease, but remained active in labor and political issues.
Though he lost his eyesight in 1979, tapes and audio CDs enabled him to keep up with sports. He also listened to the narration of 9,000 books.
Fred was a close colleague of The Port Arthur News while at the Leader, often
sitting alongside John or Russ DeVillier at a high school press box,
or at Lamar. The staffs then worked together to select consensus
all-district teams.
A Baylor grad, Cervelli remained a sports enthusiast his entire life.
He chronicled the exploits of Worster, then happily watched the
Bridge City fullback run roughshod when Texas bashed Pennsylvania in
the final Big 33 game in 1967.
News contributor John DeVillier, who made a couple trips to the
Big 33 games in Hershey, penned a story on these pages last fall, telling of
Fred's role in helping assemble the teams.
"Those Big 33 games between Texas and Pennsylvania
all-stars returned the national spotlight to Longhorn Bobby Layne's offense and a staff of
luminaries that included Doak Walker, Harley Sewell and Rooster Andrews, but
Fred was the genius behind their success," said John DeVillier.
"He combed the state not only for great players but the kind demanded for his
offense. He was in charge of getting the team to Hershey and back to Texas -- no
small responsibility."
"Fred lost his sight, but his zest for life never dimmed," added Russ DeVillier. "His wife
Marie, daughter Risa, and son Rhett came first, and Fred also stayed
close with a multitude of friends he knew as a sports writer, and
later as spokesman for the state AFL-CIO.
"All around the house knew to stay hushed when Fred tuned in to the
Horns, Aggies, Bears, Texans or Cowboys. And Marie kept him updated
on high school sports every Saturday morning. A lot of athletes, coaches and working people have lost a loyal friend in Fred Cervelli."
Funeral arrangements are for Saturday visitation at l p.m, and
service at 2 p.m., both at Claybar Funeral Home in Orange.

Nationally, across all industries, these are hard economic times and, as they should, the news media have covered it every step of the way.
Over the past several months, many local businesses have had to make tough choices in their operations to stabilize or minimize the impact of this recession. That includes this newspaper.
I would venture to say that no business has been unaffected on some level, and although it's not the most positive news, it is the reality.
We've read about the federal bailouts, the stimulus package, the governor's budget proposals, companies downsizing or closing their doors, and the rising unemployment rates, just to name a few news items.
Each one of us has a unique circumstance or approach in dealing with this difficult market. I wish someone had the answers to all of our concerns, but even economists are still scratching their heads.
I do know this: we must all assess where we are and determine where we want to be and make adjustments to that end.
Since 1890, The Daily Star, as your local newspaper, has had the privilege to inform and educate on topics, pressing issues, our neighbors and local places. We've been able to do this only because of your support.
A cliche it may be, but we've been here in the past, are here now and will continue to be the most reliable and useful information source to those we serve.
Let there be no mistake that you, our loyal readers and advertisers, make what we do possible. You are the driving force behind what we do, and I thank you for your continued support.
Over the past two years as publisher of your community newspaper, I have had the opportunity to hear your feedback _ good, bad and indifferent.
