Courier Staff Writer
The state of Iowa may have received an F on a report card, but the grade only reflects how Iowa measures up to one group's idea of good education policy.
"The danger is in not reading the report [carefully], thinking that this [describes] the state of education in Iowa," said Art Sathoff, superintendent of Fairfield schools.
What these various grades from groups demonstrate, say Iowa officials, is how well a state or a school district is doing implementing the policies supported by that group.
"Any organization that's out there is essentially going to try to promote their agenda, their [preferred] policies," said Superintendent Russ Reiter of the Oskaloosa school district. "As superintendent of a school district, I have to [seek policies] that are going to be best for our students."
Iowa Department of Education Director Jason Glass sent the Courier a statement echoing the sentiment.
"Report cards from advocacy groups are common, but they are not based on objective criteria — they are based on the political agendas of each particular group," Glass wrote.
For example, Iowa was one of the states that made national news this week when StudentsFirst gave state government an "F" grade for its education policy.
StudentsFirst CEO and Founder Michelle Rhee was the controversial Washington figure known for firing hundreds of teachers during her tenure as head of the D.C. school district.
The group does have its own agenda — and they don't deny that this is a grade based on whether their specific ideas have been implemented.
In Washington, some praised her policies, while others expressed grave concerns.
Sathoff said he's concerned when media reports fail to mention the grading criteria. It's easy for the public to believe a national group said the quality of classroom education in Iowa is poor.
Another worry in southeast Iowa: How can a single series of policies be good for every state in the nation?
"Policies are going to vary based on the needs of that community," said Reiter. "When you take a look at Des Moines, Sioux City ... other areas, compared to what we might need in Mahaska County, we all have our different problems that we face, our different needs."
StudentsFirst policies, as with some other national "grade-giving" entities, are intended to good ideas to guide all states. Yet policy needs vary so much from district to district, Reiter said, it would be difficult to have an all-encompassing set of policies for a single state, "let alone the entire nation."
He said he can't imagine one set of specific policies that would fit 50 states.
"In a word: ludicrous," said Reiter.
That's not to say new policies of some sort wouldn't be an improvement, the superintendents said. Iowa education news has said for more than a year that the state is working on new regulations designed to boost student achievement. But the odds that all of the new laws would match the suggestions of any one group appear to be pretty slim.
And a press release from StudentsFirst acknowledges that "nearly 90 percent of states received less than a 'C' on the [StudentsFirst] State Policy Report Card, and no state earned higher than a 'B-.'"
"While we appreciate the pressure for improving education, each state's context is unique," Glass said. "In Iowa, we have crafted an education reform agenda that is the right fit for our state."
In fact, said Reiter, maybe Iowa could grade various political action groups on how well their policy ideas fit students and teachers in Iowa — or in Oskaloosa.
What the StudentsFirst group is looking for:
• State law "must facilitate digital learning by allowing certification for online instruction" as well as "eliminating mandatory 'seat time' laws" for kids being in classrooms.
• They promote paying effective teachers more but define "effective" in large part by student test scores.
• State law and district policy should not mandate higher teacher salaries for master's degrees or additional education credits.
• StudentsFirst is against the idea of tenure, which they say creates "rules and regulations [which] make removing even the most unmotivated and ineffective teachers nearly impossible."
• States must reduce legal barriers to entry in the teaching profession, like "complicated credentialing or certification [which use] factors [which] do not correlate with teacher effectiveness."

Linear momentum of a particle is defined as a vector quantity, having both magnitude and direction. It is the product of mass (a scalar quantity) and velocity (a vector quantity) of a particle at a given instant.
p = mv
The dimensional formula of linear momentum is and its SI unit of measurement is " ".
Few important aspects of linear momentum need our attention :
First, linear momentum is a product of positive scalar (mass) and a vector (velocity). It means that the linear momentum has the same direction as that of velocity.
Second, we have earlier referred that motion of a body is represented completely by velocity. But, the velocity alone does not convey anything about the inherent relation that "change in velocity" has with force. The product of mass and velocity in linear momentum provides this missing information.
In order to fully appreciate the connection between motion and force, we may consider two balls of different masses, moving at same velocity, which collide with a wall. It is our everyday common sense that tells us that the ball with greater mass exerts bigger force on the wall. We may, therefore, conclude that linear momentum i.e. the product of mass and velocity represents the "quantum of motion", which can be connected to force.
It is this physical interpretation of linear momentum that explains why Newton's second of motion is stated in terms of linear momentum as this quantity (not the velocity alone) connects motion with force.

3-D Printing: Is It The Future Of Custom Bikes?
By Leif Haven
My neighbor across the street, who not long ago bought one of those near-million-dollar S.F. condos that are popular nowadays, has a business plan for getting even richer. He wants to start a Web site chock-full of "user-generated content," a popular buzz phrase that means getting people to write for free.
Last week at a bar I met a man who told me he's sending his daughters to a private grade school where tuition costs almost as much as an elite college. He writes algorithms for Digg.com, a Web site that gets readers to contribute and suggest news stories without pay, and is read every month by 12 million unique U.S. visitors, according to the rating service Quantcast.
Liberal Pied Piper Arianna Huffington seems to be raking it in, too, as visitors flock to read the work of 1,800 unpaid bloggers at www.huffingtonpost.com. The Web site will never, ever pay its writers because "that's not in our financial model," USA Today quoted site co-founder Ken Lerer as saying.
Horrifyingly for paid hacks such as myself, newspapers are also attempting to pave their way to Easy Street with free labor. For example, www.examiner.com, the Web site for billionaire Philip Anschutz' experiment in free dailies, features 40 blogs with titles such as "Around San Francisco" by Sharon Gray. "Photographer, author, poet, award-winning artist, designer, and socialite Sharon Gray reports on San Francisco savvy lifestyles, the social set, neighborhoods, top getaways, sports, whales, environmental issues," Gray's online bio reads in reference to her unpaid, online Examiner columns.
"They're blogs. They don't get edited," explained Examiner executive editor Jim Pimentel. "We don't give any direction to people on what to write in their blogs. And that's standard operating procedure."
The Examiner does, however, reserve the right to remove blogs that include libel or plagiarism. And as of last Thursday, most of the "Around San Francisco" columns disappeared from the paper's site after I asked Gray by phone about what appeared to be work from other news sources, pasted verbatim and without attribution, into her column. By Friday, after I asked Pimentel about the plagiarism, "Around San Francisco" was no longer in the list of www.examiner.com's blogs.
That's apparently because Gray created the appearance of being an unusually industrious investigative reporter, writer, and photographer, when in fact much of her work consisted of material taken from elsewhere on the Internet. This cut-and-paste technique allowed her to post 19 stories in November alone, many of them consisting of news essays of more than 1,000 words with quotes from multiple interviews, and illustrated with numerous photographs taken from around California.
Rather than attributing these stories to their actual sources, Gray's Examiner page stated: "Note that most of © photos and text on this site are from Sharon's upcoming books, Sharon Gray's Around San Francisco, San Francisco Bay Area Gardens, and Sharon Gray's Around Marin County."
Gray hoped to get publicity for books she planned to write. The Examiner, in return, got to offer a more substantial Web site, while placing profit-making ads next to the blogs. And it apparently didn't use money on costly editing time to ensure her stories met journalistic standards.
But rather than being a profits panacea for the Examiner, Gray's unsupervised, unpaid efforts may actually provide a glimmer of hope to us paid news hacks by showing that free isn't always a bargain.
Gray, by way of explanation, suggested that the Examiner blogs were subject to a different standard than print newspaper stories. "I'm not doing this for pay," she said. "I think it would be different if I were."
Pimentel was unaware of this attribution situation when I spoke with him Friday, but he told me the Examiner has a less-strict standard for accuracy and attribution in stories that appear on the Web. That's because online stories can be changed as journalistic problems emerge, while printed stories require publishing corrections, he said.
"There are obvious different standards," he said. "Content in the [printed] Examiner runs through different editors, so there's a level of accountability that I have to the newspaper. But as we've seen on the Internet, that accountability isn't always there."
Though I'm unaware of scandalous plagiarism at www.sfweekly.com, our newspaper is only moderately better than the Examiner regarding paying its bloggers. SF Weekly blog contributors are paid less than staff writers. A trusted few post their entries directly online, where an editor dedicated to Web content reviews their work as time permits.
I see no reason a newspaper's Web content should be inferior, as a matter of company policy, from what appears in print.
Robert Gunnison, director of school affairs at the U.C. Berkeley's Graduate School of Journalism, likewise says newspapers should observe the same journalism standards online as they do in print. "Blogging is merely software," he said. "What matters is the actual content. Nobody has cornered the market on honesty."
I'd first run across Gray's apparent plagiarism while searching for information on a secretive nonprofit foundation that pays for Governor Schwarzenegger to fly on junkets around the world. It turned out Gray had pasted most of a Sacramento Bee story on the nonprofit into what seemed to be her own work.

NEW YORK — Before they arrived at Madison Square Garden for the NIT Season Tip-Off, the Kansas State basketball team hadn't been tested.
That changed during a 66-63 semifinal victory over Delaware on Wednesday.
The Blue Hens (2-2) pushed the Wildcats (5-0) much harder than the four nondescript opponents K-State pummeled on the way here. They made it fight until the final moments, when Will Spradling sank four straight free throws to clinch the game.
The Wildcats will play for the tournament title on Friday when they take on the winner of Wednesday's late game between Pittsburgh and No. 4 Michigan.
"We did not play pretty," K-State coach Bruce Weber said. "That was pretty obvious. It had been so good for us at home and we had defended so well and the games came easy. Now it didn't come quite as easy. We missed a lot of easy shots and made some mistakes defensively, but we made a good run at the right time."
A closer-than-expected victory over Delaware, a Colonial Athletic team that surpassed expectations by upsetting Virginia and making it to New York, might help prepare K-State for the championship game. It should be easier to respond to pressure now that they've won a tight game.
"Hopefully you get through one of those games," Weber said, "and tomorrow we come back and play a little more relaxed and play the game of basketball the way we believe we can play."
But one thing's for sure: They will need to play better on Friday for that experience to make a difference.
Delaware held K-State to 30.3 percent shooting in the first half and Shane Southwell had to make a jumper to give the Wildcats a 27-25 lead at intermission. And every time the Wildcats tried to pull away in the second half, Devon Saddler hit a shot that kept the Blue Hens close.
Behind an impressive game from their leading scorer, who made 12 of 22 attempts while pouring in 32 points, and a fine effort from big man Jamelle Hagins, who scored 12 points and grabbed 15 rebounds, Delaware was in it the whole way.
Terrell Rogers made a runner in the lane with 27.6 seconds remaining to pull Delaware within 62-60 and Sadler hit another layup soon after to make the score 64-62.
But the Wildcats did respond to that well enough to pull out a victory on a neutral court. Spradling, a junior guard who scored 12 points while taking perfect care of the ball and dishing out seven assists, calmly stepped to the line and made key free throws every time his team needed him.
Spradling wanted the ball. He attempts close to 100 free throws a day and refuses to leave K-State's practice facility until he has made at least 40 in a row.
"It was two points every time they fouled me," Spradling said. "My teammates showed a lot of confidence in me and helped me get the ball. But we all showed a lot of confidence at the end there."
K-State shook off an ugly half and played well for portions of the second half.
"We didn't shoot the ball well at all to start the game," Spradling said. "We were missing layups. That is something we normally will make. You could tell that we were nervous. Once we settled down, we started playing."
Angel Rodriguez and Thomas Gipson both added 12 points. The Wildcats did seem to be at their best when it looked like the Blue Hens were threatening.
With about 12 minutes remaining, K-State clung to a 39-38 lead. It needed a big play. That's when Southwell, a New York native, drained a three to spark a 15-5 run.
He gave the Wildcats momentum. Adrian Diaz made a layup, Rodriguez scored a driving layup through a foul for three points, Spradling made a floater and Gipson made a layup. Then Southwell hit another three to cap the run.
When the shot swished, he turned and screamed. He was excited, and so was the entire K-State team.
"It was a new feeling," said Rodney McGruder, who scored eight points and grabbed five rebounds. "But we battled adversity and came out with the win. We are going to have more close games. Hopefully we can continue to handle it well."
Things ended up closer than the Wildcats hoped when Delaware pulled to within one possession several times late. And coaches were displeased with Rodriguez fouling Sadler with 1 second remaining during a three-point attempt, even though they were leading by four.
But those frustrations began to fade when players starting looking ahead to the tournament's championship game. That game will reveal much more about K-State than even this one did.
"Coach told us before we came here that we needed a close game," Rodriguez said. "The games we had at home weren't that hard. This is what we came for. We came to compete and prove ourselves."

Volcanic Legacy Byway
The Volcanic Legacy Scenic Byway traverses the southern section of the great Cascade range, a chain of active volcanoes that stretch from the Canadian border to northern California.
Of the 13 potentially active volcanoes in the Cascade Range of the Pacific Northwest, 11 have erupted in the past 4,000 years and 7 in just the past 200 years. Cascades volcanoes tend to erupt explosively, and on average two eruptions occur per century--the most recent were at Mount St. Helens, Washington (1980-86), and Lassen Peak, California (1914-17).
The major volcanoes you will explore along the Byway are Crater Lake, Medicine Lake, Mount Shasta and Mount Lassen.
Crater Lake
, or Mount Mazama, is the least active of these peaks...it has not been active for over 4000 years. The 6 mile wide caldera, which Crater Lake now fills, formed when a massive ash eruption 6,950 years ago emptied the magma chamber underneath Mount Mazama, causing it to collapse. The four thousand foot deep hole has filled with rain and snowmelt to a depth of about 1,900 feet. Seepage and evaporation now balance the incoming precipitation, and the level of the lake remains nearly constant.

HAMILTON, Ohio (AP) - A sheriff's office in Ohio is investigating the fatal shooting of a man by a township police officer.
Butler County Sheriff Richard Jones says Ross Township police requested the outside investigation. Officers in the southwest Ohio township near Hamilton say they responded late Tuesday to a 911 call from a home.
Police say a suspect armed with a "long gun" took threatening actions, and was shot multiple times by a township officer.
The man who died at the scene was identified as 33-year-old Michael Snader Jr.
The township police chief says it appears that the officer acted appropriately. Sheriff's detectives are investigating at his request in conjunction with the county coroner's office.

I see that you went to the ER for the increase pain. Did you contact the doctor who did the procedure and let them know what happened?
I've never heard of this happening. When I had mine done I just had band aids on the area and was told not to shower for 2 days and to remove the band aid after 2 days.
I think I would contact the doctor that did the procedure and find out what needs to be done.
Please keep us posted - take care - Joy
Unfortunately with all of the new pain I cannot tell if the procedure even worked, I am now one week out of work and still cannot put any pressure on or near the site. I wish it was as easy as yours.
Wish I could figure out how to put up the photo.
WOW!! I think I would start to wonder bout this doctor - at least he is checking on the equipment to see if that's what caused it.
So sorry you are having to go thru this - and the pains must be horrible.
Think I would get another opinion from either a PHYSIATRIST Pain Management
they go deeper into pain management control utilizing numerous types of treatment programs depending on patient needs. They also have a set of spine specialist and can refer you to a good one.
I really think you do need to get another opinion of the procedure and what is going on.
keep us posted - take care - Joy
let us know what the other doc says - that just looks so painful~~
take care - Joy
I would say your wound looks bad! I realize it has been 3 days since you posted, so what have you found out? I would run, not walk, to someone I trust to check you out. I have never seen nor heard of anything like this. Please let us know what is going on.
WOW!! this is the first time I've ever heard of something going wrong with this procedure - I've had it done 2 times and though it did not work didn't have any problems.
i'm so sorry this happened to you. actually it is a simple procedure but sounds like the doctor may have made a couple of mistakes. I think I would be sure to ask if this doctor will pay for your plastic surgeon's procedures and/or seek legal advise.
I hope and pray that you can find good treatments and can get the pain under control. please keep us posted how your doing - take care - Joy
Thanks again for your support.
unfortunately, the procedure did not work for me. when I had the first one done I was told to go back to work etc., and keep a log of what I was doing and what my pain levels were - where they spiked and what I was doing at time, etc.,
At the end of this first day, I faxed notice to the pain doc and let him know that my pain levels were the same - they did increase if I did stuff like house work, laundry, grocery shopping but I did not have any episodes of pain relief. I was told the next day that he wanted to wait 2 weeks and if no change then he wanted to repeat the process.
2 weeks later and still same pains so the process was repeated. the same results - no pain relief.
You can click on my name or picture and read my story. my current PHYSIATRIST Pain doc asked me about a year ago why they waited so long to do my back operation. I told him I really didn't have an answer. He showed me report of my medical records where my first MRI showed that my disc not only ruptured but it had splintered where part of the disc was pressing on the left side S1 nerve root and the other part on the right S1 nerve root. My pain doc stated that this should have been operated on as an emergency and that no treatments would have helped!!
I didn't know this and thought I had all the reports/cd's that had been done but guess I had missed this one.
so this is the reason the procedure did not work on my as there was more of an underlying problem.
hope this helps - everyone is different on the outcome of the procedure and the results too.
keep us posted - take care - Joy
~~ Joy ~~
I do not believe in frivolous lawsuits but this action seems to qualify for legal council.
I look forward to reading that you have healed from this procedure as soon as you are able to post. By best wishes for you.

When a Council Bluffs man came home Monday afternoon, he found the Pottawattamie County's Drug Task Force inside his apartment and handcuffs on his wrist.
Investigators tell Channel 6 News that someone provided a tip that Benjamin Petersen, 20, had a personal marijuana growing operation in his apartment near North 35th & Avenue G.
Petersen was promptly arrested, booked, and then released from the county jail. He will have a preliminary hearing sometime later. Investigators say they found 53 plants in Petersen's apartment. All but a few of them were in the "seedling" stage of growing.

August 26, 2005 marked a significant day in Australian football history, when the first match of the inaugural Hyundai A-League season kicked off in Newcastle. After almost two years in the making, Australia's latest national competition hit the sporting landscape as well as the hearts and minds of the Australian sporting public.
See bottom of the page for list of Hyundai A-League Trophy winners
When new Football Federation Australia (or Australian Soccer Association as it was called then) Chairman Mr Frank Lowy announced in October 2003 that a task force would be formed, the seeds towards a new national competition were effectively sown.
The National Soccer League (NSL) may have been the first all-Australian football competition to grace these shores when it started in 1977, but it was plainly obvious that it needed a major overhaul.
Using the government's Crawford Report into the sport as its base, Mr Lowy, one of the pioneers of the NSL competition, called together the Task Force, headed by former Sydney City Chairman Andrew Kemeny, to consider a range of issues, including the structure, its name, criteria for participating clubs, competition season (summer/winter) and a timeframe for implementation.
In December 2003, the NSL Task Force Report was handed to the board and released publicly and so began the process of finalising the framework for the new national competition.
After four months of planning, the framework for the new national competition was finally revealed by Mr Lowy and the then newly appointed FFA CEO Mr John O'Neill and at the same time expressions of interest were called for. Eight teams would be part of this new national competition, with one team from the cities of Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth, Newcastle, plus a New Zealand team and one from the remaining expressions of interest. The competition start date was set at August 2005.
By June of 2004, 20 submissions had been received and a month later 12 consortiums sent in their final bids for the eight spots. Three bids were received from Melbourne, two each from Sydney and Brisbane, one from each of the remaining preferred cities, plus a bid from the Central Coast of NSW.
Over the next three months, each bid was carefully reviewed and on the 1st November 2004, the eight successful bidders and the major sponsor were revealed, for what would be known as the Hyundai A-League.The eight successful franchises were: Adelaide United, Central Coast Mariners, Melbourne Victory, Newcastle Jets, New Zealand Knights (since replaced by Wellington Phoenix), Perth Glory, Queensland Roar and Sydney FC.
With Fox Sports already signed on as the official broadcaster, the Hyundai A-League had already achieved many objectives its predecessor had failed to do in its dying years.
However the hard work was only just beginning for the clubs and the FFA, as they only had nine months to get everything together in preparation for the anticipated August start in 2005.
Honour of the first player signing went to former Wollongong Wolves striker Stuart Young, who signed with Perth Glory and from then on the player signings came at steady rate.
While some critics believed that the Hyundai A-League would fail to attract players and coaches from overseas because of the stringent criteria placed on clubs, this clearly did not materialise.
A host of big names were linked with the new competition and with a number of high profile Qantas Socceroos returning from overseas and some 18 overseas imports also calling Australia and New Zealand home, the credibility of the competition was ensured.
Topping the list of high profiles recruits was former Manchester United striker Dwight Yorke and his presence always ensured the Hyundai A-League was in the spotlight. On the coaching front, former German World Cup star Pierre Littbarski was hired as Sydney FC coach and former England international Steve McMahon was anointed at Perth Glory.
Australian players to give the new league a big vote of confidence included former and current Australian international players including Ned Zelic, Kevin Muscat, Archie Thompson, David Zdrilic, Steve Corica, Alex Brosque and Richard Johnson.
The inaugural season proved an outstanding success, capped off by a capacity crowd on hand to witness the Grand Final in Sydney, won by Sydney FC 1-0 over a gallant Central Coast Mariners.
Crowds exceeded expectations with over one million fans going through the turnstiles during the season at an average of 11,627 per game.Such was the success of the inaugural season, broadcast partner Fox Sports was quick to negotiate a new revised seven-year-deal, which has gone a long way to providing financial stability for the competition and in particular the clubs.
Coupled with the success of the Qantas Socceroos at the 2006 World Cup finals, where they reached the second round, before bowing out to eventual champions Italy, the profile of the sport has never been higher.The success of that first season has continued, with the crowd averages continuing to rise, TV ratings doing likewise and media coverage reaching unprecedented levels.
Such has been the interest in the Hyundai A-League that the FFA has been inundated with expressions of interest from potential new club licensees for entry into the competition.
The competition took another step forward in season 2009/2010, expanding to 10 teams to include Gold Coast and North Queensland Fury, which secured arguably the biggest coup in Hyundai A-League history by signing former Liverpool great Robbie Fowler for its inaugural season.
The Hyundai A-league got its first true derby in season 2010-11, as Melbourne Heart entered the expanded competition. North Queensland Fury found the going tough, however, and were forced to close at the end of the season. But the competition remained as strong as ever, with Brisbane Roar setting the league alight with a record 32-game unbeaten run, as the quality of football on display continued to improve.
The 2012-13 season saw a trio of stars arrive down under as Alessandro Del Piero, Emile Heskey and Shinji Ono played their maiden seasons in the Hyundai A-League. The season also saw the inauguration of the Western Sydney Wanderers who took their first season in the league by storm. Crowds packed out Parramatta Stadium week in and week out as the Wanderers steadily climbed to the top of the table to eventually claim the Premiers Plate. The side from Sydney's west made it through to the Grand Final but were unable to overcome the Central Coast Mariners who won their first final after four attempts.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Caddies carry the bag and give yardages to their golfers, but there is so much more involved in their role on the golf course.
Shay Knight is from Australia but now calls Indian Land home. For the last couple of years, he has caddied for Martin Laird who also lives in the Charlotte area.
Knight will be Larid's caddie for this week's Wells Fargo Championship at Quail Hollow.
"It usually takes me about four to five hours to get ready," Knight said of prepping for each day. "If it's a new course it could take longer."
Knight's job consists of scouting the course, understanding the yardage of each hole and always providing advice to his golfer for certain approaches on holes.
"You need to be able to work out yardages, where to miss it, where to hit it," Knight said. "Strategy is probably the most important thing for practice rounds and heading into the tournament."
Knight says his routine before tournament consists of warming up and making sure his golfer is ready. Then they both talk about the approach they want to take for that particular day.
"On a serious note, there is a lot more to it than just carrying a bag and walking down the fairway giving numbers," Knight said of his role.
A caddie has to be able to wear many hats on the golf course, according to Knight.
"You have to be a psychologist, a guy to pick him up when he's down, someone there he can chat with," Knight said. "You want to keep him cool and calm [during the tournament]."
