To combat global warming we need wind power, but apparently global warming is slowing down America's winds! Man...I'm about ready to give up!
OK, not really. In the first study of www.hitlabnz.org it's kind, scientists have determined that Americas winds are have slowed dramatically since their recorded peak in the 1970's. In some parts of the Midwest, average peak wind speeds have dropped as much as 10%. That's 10% less wind to capture with wind turbines, 10% slower return on investment for wind farms. EDIT: Actually, as commenters below pointed out, there is a cubic relationship between wind speed and look there lowest cialis price wind power. So a 10% drop in speed means nearly a 30% drop in wind power.
Ever-cautious scientists, of course, say that it's too early to determine whether this is a real trend or not. But a very preliminary attempt at defining the mechanism of this decrease in wind speeds involves global warming. As the poles warm (and the poles have been warming at a greater rate that the robovero.com rest of the world) the difference in temperature between the poles and the equator decreases. This temperature gradient is one of the Earth's largest wind-generators. So, it could indeed be that global warming is, in itself, making the fight against global warming more difficult.
Next thing you know, the heat from climate change will create more clouds, which will then decrease the number of sunny days in the sun belt!
When the AP got a hold of the story, the immediately called the American Wind Energy Association. They said that it was the first time they'd heard this potentially troubling news, but that they wanted to wait to see some confirmation before they started worrying.

Excuse me but that is the theory of why there can be no run away global warming, cause if there are more clouds the world cools. Perhaps you might want to consider switching sides in the debate

As soon as I heard American Girl opened shop in South Florida, I secretly wanted to visit with my 3-year-old daughter.
I had the chance last week. I spent one hour, $150 and walked away a different person.
We're talking American Girl, after all — the store that sells the notion of shopping for a fancy doll in the likeness of your deepest doll desires.
That means you can literally choose the DNA of your own faux girl, by selecting key physical features, from skin tone to hair texture and length, even eye color and shape. You want a girl with glasses or long hair with bangs? That doll is there, awaiting your child's open arms.
Awesome, yes.
A little creepy too.
But I couldn't wait to watch my daughter stumble across a child's doll that looks like her. My daughter has caramel skin and root-beer-colored eyes, which are shaped like her grandmother's. A 'Mini-Me' of her is not available in Barbie versions, or the multitude of other dolls we have come across over time.
At age 10 I loved G.I. Joe. I had just about every boat, jeep or tent made for him. I played with that doll (uh, action figure) all day and dreamt about him at night. In the dreams I was him.
But Joe did not look like me. It wasn't an option.
But a generation later, it is for my daughter.
I was a little disappointed that she fell asleep during the 45-minute drive from Fort Lauderdale to The Falls shopping mall in Miami. Before we headed out, I showed her an American Girl catalog and told her we might buy one together. She opened the first page and immediately picked one.
I couldn't believe my eyes. She was a knock-off of my own offspring.
In that moment I felt more American than ever. I was born in the U.S. like my parents, but somehow my dark skin color and physical features made me feel a little out of place at times. Like at the toy store.
I was very excited waking my daughter when we arrived at the mall. As soon as we entered the store we saw wall-to-wall dolls. And accessories. And outfits, small dresses and pajamas and more — for the dolls and matching ones for the girls buying them.
This was like G.I. Joe on steroids.
My daughter squeaked out the word "Josephina" for the shopping assistant who immediately greeted us. We were whisked to the glass case holding multiple 18-inch-tall Josephinas, each in a different outfit.
My daughter quickly reached out and couldn't wait to hold Josephina.
Dad was happy too, I barely took in the fact that Josephina had a $105 price tag, not including accessories, because I now had two Mini-Mes — little girl versions.
That's when I suggested we look around to make sure we didn't miss out on the whole American Girl experience.

A few names come to mind when you say Hoosier basketball: Larry Bird, Gene Hackman, who was in a movie — and Bob Knight, about whom they make movies. Bob Knight coached three Indiana University teams to three NCAA championship titles and — a record of which he's equally proud — almost all of his players graduated. He left Indiana after a controversy involving his treatment of players, went on to coach at Texas Tech, and is now retired from coaching and a featured commentator for ESPN's college basketball coverage.
He has a new book in which he lays out the philosophy of his coaching and how it can apply to life: The Power of Negative Thinking. Knight tells NPR's Scott Simon that he wants to help people get rid of their rose-colored glasses. "I think that we as a people are always prone to think about, well, tomorrow will be a better day," he says. "Well, why will it be a better day?"
Knight says people should concentrate on doing well in the present rather than hoping for good things down the road. "Positive results don't happen simply because we believe they're going to happen," he says. Hope may spring eternal, he laughs, but it's a lot better to work and plan for something than just to hope for it.
Nor did he pray for good things — Knight eschewed pregame prayers during his coaching career. "I'll tell you what," he says. "I watched the guy that hits a home run, and he comes across the plate, and he points skyward, like thanking the Almighty for the help to hit the home run. And as he does that, I say to myself, 'God screwed the pitcher.' And I don't know how else you look at it. I've always felt that the Almighty has a lot of things to do other than help my basketball team."
And even if the Almighty helps you to a victory, Knight says, it can be harder to learn from victory than from defeat. "I think that we don't want defeat, we don't want defeat in sport, we don't want defeat in life," he says, but we need to examine what defeats us. "Let's address those things that are going to bring about a loss, rather than simply those things that are going to bring about a victory."
There is room, though, amid the negative thinking, for happiness, Knight says. "Winning. I think, what more can you want than having completed a task, played a game, where you have won? What better feeling can you have than having done something that has not just benefited you, but has benefited your team? I think there's a tremendous reward in simply being successful. But the key is, how do you become successful?"
Knight is an unlikely advice guru — he left Indiana under a cloud after allegations that he could not control his temper with players. But, he says, his record there speaks for itself. "I think you're looking at something I'm not sure you really know anything about. I was involved with some great people while I was at Indiana … people that really understood and appreciated what I tried to do with the basketball team," he says. "The last five or six years that I was there, I didn't agree with people, I didn't like the people that I was working for. The biggest mistake I made was thinking I could stay there, and shouldn't have."
There's an infamous video that shows him appearing to choke a player, but Knight calls it "overworked," saying, "if you've looked at that video, you can't even see it, you can't even really tell it. I don't see anything wrong with my going past a kid and grabbing his shoulder and simply saying, 'Don't throw the ball away, you've got to look where you're passing,' and walking on." And as for his locker-room rants, Knight says, "what I did in the locker room seemed to bring about a situation, as far as our teams were concerned, that must have been a lot better than what other people were doing in the locker room."

WEST INDIES FEDERATIONThe West Indies Federation, also known as the Federation of the West Indies, was a short-lived political union that existed from 3 January 1958 to 31 May 1962. Various islands in the Caribbean that were colonies of the United Kingdom, including Trinidad and Tobago, Barbados, Jamaica, and the Leeward and Windward Islands, came together to form the Federation, with its capital in Trinidad. The expressed intention of the Federation was to create a political unit that would become become independent from Britain as a single state—possibly similar to the Canadian Confederation, Australian Commonwealth, or Central African Federation; however, before that could happen, the Federation collapsed due to internal political conflicts.

Beautiful Magnet!
Flip Flops on the Beach Save the Date Magnets These magnets came out gorgeous! Exactly what we wanted for our Mexico Beach Wedding! Through the personalization part we were able to add our website to the front of the magnet for no additional charge (I saw complaints about not being able to put website on but you can! You just have to request it!) The price was excellent and the box and shipping methods were great! I absolutely recommend and may even get my invitations from magnet street as well!
2 different Flip Flops on the Beach magnets
Flip Flops on the Beach Save the Date Magnets I ordered the Flip Flops on the Beach Save the Date Magnets with two different photos to send out to friends and family. The both came out great. On the second one we added a caption to the photo "We are taking the plunge" and it was by far everyone's favorite. IT was a picture of us jumping into the waterfalls in Jamaica.
Excellent choice!
Tropical Paradise Save the Date Magnets This design was just perfect for my destination wedding. It has the beachy theme I was looking for. Although I thought the magnet was a bigger size, it came out to be perfect for my guests because I wouldn't want to overpower their fridge with a photo of me and fiancé. So the size is perfect, the quality is great. All I have receive from my family and friends are great comments about it. Plus the design is very inviting, I love it!! If you are considering this design, go for it, you won't be disappointed.
Your Destiny Save the Date Magnets The attention to detail in the pictures was amazing, the colors were bright and they look great! We will more than likely be purchasing our invitations from Magnetstreet as well.
So in love!!
Summer Breeze Save the Date Magnets I could not wait to get them and they turned out great!! I love them. Wish I didn't get my invites from someone else I would have so went with magnet street! They are so adorable!!!

Spokane - The late Norman Rockwell would be hard pressed to top Wednesday night at Avista Stadium. On a picturesque evening celebrating our nation's independence, the Indians painted a masterpiece, defeating the Yakima Bears 2-0 in front of 6,884 fans.
Third baseman Ryan Rua got the celebration going early with a home run in the second inning, giving Spokane a 2-0 lead that would be more than enough for their pitching staff.
Indians ace Abel De Los Santos (3-1) shined in front of the packed house, befuddling the hapless Bears for five scoreless frames with a dizzying array of changeups and curveballs. Cody Kendall kept Yakima off the board in the sixth and seventh innings, and Josh McElwee picked up his second save of the season as Royce Bolinger nailed Wagner Mateo at the plate for a game-ending double play.
Leadoff man Chris Garia went 3-4 to raise his average to .303, and Rua, Barrett Serrato, Cam Schiller, and Patrick Cantwell all picked up hits in the win.
Indians players wore special red, white, and blue American flag jerseys which were auctioned off to benefit the Wounded Warrior Project.
Tomorrow is the second game of a three game series against the Yakima Bears. The game starts at 6:30 p.m.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
We had a terrible experience. We could not get the teachers to act on the IEP.
School is about who contributes most financially to foundation. If you don't your child will not get the parts in plays etc. This school should be much better than it is. Small and initimate but very teachers are not strong This is about being accepted not about education
I attended Cold Spring School all 7 years of elementary school and absolutely loved it! Cold Spring is known as one of the top elementary schools in the country, and for good reason as well! Even though it is a public school, there are only about 13-18 students in each class, and only 2 classes at most per grade level. The students and teachers are welcoming and friendly, and the playground and grass have recently been replaced and are clean and beautiful! I loved so much about this school, but I especially remember how I was never worried about my grades because the teachers would be so on top of their jobs that you would always know exactly what was going on. The teachers made lessons interesting and fun, and we took many field trips to further our knowledge. Highlights of my time at CSS included the 5th grade field trip to CIMI cove and the 6th grade trip to AstroCamp. Both were well-supervised, yet fun, and the food, activities, and entertainment were all amazing! I could not wish for a better elementary school for my future children to go to!
Cold Spring School is an amazing school. I have had 5 children attend over the years and they have all had a very special experience. The Cold Spring community is one of a kind. It has all the benefits of a modern school with a small school house feel. I have never felt pressured to give money to the foundation but have found that I wanted to give to support the teachers. The school does its very best the meet the needs of all the children where ever they may be on their journey. It is the best school around.
I have had 3 children go through this school and have been extremely pleased with all aspects of their educational and social experience. Their teachers have been fantastic as well as all the specialists. This school has the benefit of small class sizes, enrichment programs and an active parent body. The Foundation does raise money to support the additional programs provided. Without their support the music, art, library, technology and physical education would not be what it is. I have never felt pressured to give more than I was able. Every contribution is appreciated.
Cold Spring School is one of the top public schools you could imagine sending your child to. It has had the highest test scores in the county for five years now. It also has an average class size of 14-18 kids. However, it offers so much more with a full-time Art, Music, PE, and Technology teacher. We are the only school between Los Angeles and SF with a one-to-one computer ratio in 3-6 grades. It is true that all of these extra teachers are paid for by the parent supported foundation. However, financial participation is completely voluntary and all programs are open equally to every child regardless of parent donation levels. All of this in a low-key nurturing environment.
We moved to the school district when my daughter was in 6th grade. It was not an easy transition and no one from the students to the teachers made it easy. Her part in the mandatory sixth grade play was small because she was told that all the other kids had been there and deserved good parts. There is great pressure to give to the parents foundation which pays for things like the play. If you don't give your child will not be included in anything It is a private school.
The resources and programs in this school are exceptional. The student teacher ratio great. It can compete with the top notch private schools, but is still a free public school.
Cold Spring is at the top of the class. It's teachers are experienced but still relatively young on the whole. It 's music program is exceptional. It has a parent club.
Cold Spring is an incredible school. My daughter has been going since kindergarten and loves it. She recieves extra help whenever needed and the parent involvement is very strong. It is why people come to Montecito. Both MUS and COld Spring have great teachers and a positive learning environment.

Blair House
Washington, DC
April 11, 2012
Well, once again, welcome to the historic Blair House here in Washington. I greatly appreciate this opportunity to discuss in person the many global issues that require joint leadership from the G-8 nations. The events of this past year, even of just this past week, affirm the continued need for comprehensive international cooperation, and the G-8 is an essential forum for that.
We are alarmed for the ongoing violence in Syria, and we are concerned about the problems facing Special Envoy Kofi Annan as he attempts to bring about a ceasefire and the end to violence. We are very watchful of this. This will be on our agenda later this afternoon. We will look for ways that we can, together, try to bring about a peaceful resolution of the current situation and a political transition for the sake of the Syrian people. MORE

Profits ahead of patriotism?
I have been deeply concerned by the role of American business leaders in the election. We have seen how business leaders are attempting to influence the vote by their major funding of super-PACs. The Supreme Court has apparently ruled that this is legal, but is it ethical? We have also heard that some American companies have been sitting on mounds of cash waiting until there would be a change of administrations to invest in America. The thinking was that a Mitt Romney administration would bring about fewer regulations and a more favorable tax environment for big business.

Earlier this week, a DeKalb parent called to tell me that Cheryl L. H. Atkinson would likely be named DeKalb school chief. The parent was disappointed because Atkinson, a finalist for the APS job that went to former Georgia Chancellor Erroll Davis, led such a small system in Ohio.
I pass the tip onto news here at the AJC, which is now reporting that Atkinson will take over the troubled DeKalb system next month. She leaves the Lorain City Schools, an Ohio system of 8,000 students and one high school, to manage DeKalb with nearly 100,000 students.
She is making quite a leap. Clearly, Atkinson is impressive to have also been a finalist for the APS job. But there is reason to be concerned about her lack of experience leading a mega system, especially one with an entrenched bureaucracy, a recent history of chaos and a frustrated parent base.
(An interesting side note after witnessing the recent school chief search in not just DeKalb, but in several other metro counties and in some out-of-state districts: It seems that all the systems operate out of the same list of potential candidates. I am not sure why any district wastes money on professional headhunters to generate a list of such obvious names. Just read about the candidates being considered by other districts and approach them directly. Districts would save hundreds of thousands of dollars.)
Here is her bio:
Dr. Cheryl L. H. Atkinson has been the Superintendent of Lorain City Schools since August 2007. During her tenure, she has implemented a comprehensive reform model, Success For All, which has increased Ohio Achievement Test scores in reading for all elementary and middle schools. Dr. Atkinson has also moved the district forward technologically by implementing an electronic grade reporting system, Progress Book, giving parents daily access to their children's grades. In addition, all students in grades 6 through 11 have been issued E-books instead of traditional textbooks. Students now have all their textbooks loaded electronically on a laptop, which enables them to access the current learning tools and technologies they need to compete in the 21st Century workforce.
Dr. Atkinson was formally Deputy Superintendent of the Kansas City, Missouri School District, a district with more than 38,000 students and more than 70 schools. She also served as Associate Superintendent for School Administration and Regional Superintendent for the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools in North Carolina, a district with over 125,000 students in over 150 schools.
Dr. Atkinson holds a Bachelor of Arts in Human Development and Learning and a Master of Education in Elementary Education from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. She earned her Doctor of Education in Educational Administration from Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in Blacksburg, Virginia. She has been married for 21 years to Terrence L. Atkinson, Sr. They have three sons.

I'm wondering abou the E books. It seems to me that when a leader boasts about something in their own biography they want to boast about something they have accomplished. I haven't read anything about how well her students can read those E books.
Maureen, do you have any information about how well the students and schools performed during her tenure?

If you had only done your homework Dekalb. She was just in Federal Court for grade fixing. And ordered by Federal Court to change grades back. Did she just tell you she improved scores or do you actually have proof. We went from 4 benchmarks at the state to 1 and in Academic Watch and she can't pass a levy to save her life. We are dead last in our entire state because of her. I wish you the best although you are going to need more than good wishes and luck on this one.

What makes Dr. Atkinson a better qualified superintendent than former candidate, Dr. Lillie Cox? Oh, how dumb of me – Dr. Atkinson is "of color." Just more of the same with further erosion of the DCSS.

August 13th, 2011
11:22 am
More of the same. Another Beverly Hall? Hold on, DeKalb teachers! Buckle up! Button your chin straps! Here we go again! Did we wait this long for Atkinson?
What makes this lady a better candidate than Dr. Sam King right next door in Rockdale County? Oh, I see. Perhaps Tom Bowen has a better chance of controlling her…than of controlling Samuel King.
Bowen…more weak leadership in an already weak DeKalb County.
Ho hum. Ho hum. Here we go again.
August 13th, 2011
11:24 am
Get use to "stakeholder". She blamed our poor academic status on our poor our minorities and our kids. Oh and let's not forget the parents. This woman is a disaster. I'm sorry you got her! She'll do absolutely nothing with a smile. She is everything that is wrong with Public Schools in America today. She's a PR person. She smiles while you get screwed.
August 13th, 2011
11:29 am
I think you folks just hired "your" Beverly Hall!
August 13th, 2011
11:41 am
Another "grad" of the Broad Foundation. In fact, she looks a bit like Beverly Hall when Hall first arrived in Atlanta in 1999. This lady will be a disaster. Wow…school boards keep learning dumber.
By the way, she appears to have been applying for any and all jobs throughout the country…since, I suppose, she has gotten her professional ticket punched by Eli and Edyth Broad. I agree with cousin Jimmie Dean Willis. Jimmie Dean was always very prescient…even as a kid. She predicted that Lester Maddox would end up riding bicycles backward while in office.
August 13th, 2011
11:51 am
Does no one on the DeKalb Board of Education know how to do a good Google search? It took me two or three minutes at the most to see that this lady was a disaster in Lorain, Ohio. I never cease to be amazed at how school boards can be "fed" pure cr-p from search firms and then they just gobble up the cr-p like it is good dog food.

Dekalb Board Members, If you have not taken your final vote, considering all the negative comments and information, you might want to reconsider where you stand on this issue.
August 13th, 2011
12:05 pm
I cannot say that I am happy with this choice.
August 13th, 2011
12:27 pm
You know, whites outnumber blacks in the United States by a ratio of about six. How, then, does it happen that we're seeing a parade of black candidates to top education jobs in Atlanta? Is being black a job requirement down there? If so, then what could be the reason? It can't be the shining example of previous blacks in top education jobs, because, although we have plenty of examples for our inspection, none of them shine. I think that perhaps there's some racial preferencing going on down there.
August 13th, 2011
12:27 pm
Dekalb Board of Education Members, all of you are crazy as hell for hiring this woman. You all are failures and should step down immediately. I agree with Dr. Trotter; this woman even looks like Beverly Hall and that's enough to scare the sh#! out of me!
August 13th, 2011
12:36 pm
Lorainite: please provide the citation to the federal court case about grade changing to which you refer. I would like to read the allegations. I found the federal law suit filed by an employee, which has since been settled. But employment cases are a dime a dozen. Every governmental entity has tons of these.
I cannot locate a suit involving Lorain schools and grades.
August 13th, 2011
12:38 pm
I've got to give an "amen" to Dr. Trotter's comments. Why go all the way to Ohio to hire someone who is currently running a relatively tiny district when compared to Dekalb? Is there no one in GA ready for the job, e.g., a successful asst. supt. in a huge metro district or maybe a veteran supt. from a medium sized district nearby (Sam King?). This now means that Cobb, Fulton, and Dekalb all went out of state for their new supers, with APS likely to do so too. What's wrong with our GA folks?
August 13th, 2011
1:06 pm
…every single comment so far (through 12:38pm) is negative. And most hit the nail on the head with the only requirement for thehire being that she be "of color": As a proud graduate of Dekalb County Schools (Clarkston High – 1971) I can only say that I really made the right choice to move away in 1995 so that my kids could have a real, color blind, education…
How sad for this once proud school system that at one time was the beacon for all school systems in the state, until 1969, when the desegregation lawsuit was filed, and never really settled, even after the court order said the lawsuit had failed, back in 1999…
August 13th, 2011
1:08 pm
John Adams: What's "wrong" with Georgia folks is that they KNOW who they would be working for so they don't apply.
August 13th, 2011
1:18 pm
No, Dekalb made the wrong choice… as usual.
August 13th, 2011
1:20 pm
I hope and pray that the new "super" works out. Try and be positive about this situation. DeKalb schools was once one of the best school system in the country. Hopefully, it will be again one day. We have to start somewhere.

I really feel the AJC is racist. I wonder would the headlines be the same if the finalist was a white person. HERE ARE THE FACTS. African Americans are capable of leading districts, cities and yes, even America. Give her a chance!

Michael Hinojosa (trouble in Dallas), Edmond Heatley (trouble in Chino Valley, California and two years of teaching experience), Robert Avossa (disliked in Charlotte-Mecklenburg and hasn't even finished his doctorate at Wingate College/University; I think he has a Specialist from NOVA), Sister Tsunami from little Loraine, Ohio, et al. What do most have in common? Glenn Brock and the Broad Foundation. I am not sure if DeKalb finally went with Brock and Clay Associates (isn't this the name of their search firm?), but the pattern of Cheryl Atkinson really looks so much like Hinojosa, Heatley, and Avossa.

I don't know why anyone would want to come here to work for a gang of morons, based on the remarks given here today, who seem to dominate this discussion. Apparently parents don't take responsibility for their own children's education anymore, nor do they encourage them by engaging in meaningful educational pursuits at home. You expect to pack your kids up, send them off to school, which has by unfortunate circumstance, become a publically funded daycare, and or halfway house. You then expect someone else to magically educate your poorly prepared kids; kids who spend more time playing video games, tweeting, texting, and enjoying other non educational related activities than they do reading. Considering the environment of ignorance in which they are being raised, it is no wonder they are unable to learn. They have no examples at home from which to model, just a bunch of bellyachers and whiners. SMH.

Now I see why they chose someone from Ohio. Do you all see the racism on this blog???? I have no idea how well she will be but reading the bio kind of changes the whole small school because she has been in leadership in larger systems than the current. Seeing some of the literature coming out of your mouth's then it makes it a miracle that a woman of her credentials would want to take on such an arduous task. Remember what they say about the apple right??????
I dont know much about the race but I do agree with one comment about saving taxpayers money and using the same list. I think the state should take over headhunting searches and pull that out of the budget because clearly if 3 different systems used the same candidates then we really wasted our time and resources.
At the end of the day this is all about the kids and no matter how good the system maybe it still boils down to parents being involved and if you can be as involved in finding a "Supt." then use that same vigor in teaching your kids.

There's not enough information here to know what to think of the new superintendent. What I would like to see is how many years she was at each job and why she left (which is probably confidential). Its ridiculous to assume that any ONE person can fix all a public school district's problems. If someone does fix everything miraculously, they are to be suspected of cheating. The problems in school districts like DeKalb are family problems. How many children in DeKalb have their two birth parents supporting them? Where do they go after school? To a day care center? When they get home is Mom or Dad there? How much TV and video games do these children expose themselves to daily? No school or superintendent can be a good substitute for good parents. God bless those good parents in DeKalb who are the real solution.
August 13th, 2011
1:44 pm
You pray that it works out? Are you serious? I pray that I win the lotto. Blind faith gets you nowhere. You can't pray America back to morals and great leaders. Praying is for those who believe in failure. Hard work, morals and integrity is what will bring Dekalb and America back. Stop being foolish.
August 13th, 2011
1:50 pm
She qualifies for the job. There is only one factor that qualifies one to be elected or appointed in the DeKalb County political picture. You have to be black and fit snugly under their thumb. I think she will fit nicely in that circumstance. DeKalb parents should not expect improvement over what they are accustomed to. Give her a couple of years and Atlanta will hire her away from you.
August 13th, 2011
1:57 pm
I have a problem with the Governor's report and the reason I take issue is because, the was a school on the northside of Atlanta and they had teachers said they cheated and the report stated that there was no way the principal could have known there was cheating. However, she has to accountable for her schoo, just as they said Superintendent Hall had to be held accountable If there was no admittance to cheating at some of the school, but there was a small spike in their test scores the Governors report automatically deemed that school and principal as a cheating and stated the principal should have know their was cheating with any proof. In essence what the Governor and the report is stating is that Black children can only learn if they cheat or attend a white school and not cheat. I take issue with that report and I read it throughly and if some of you parents really believe that former Governor Sonny Prudue cares if a Black child pass the CRCT test, then I want to sale you some of my prime real estate that I have on Hilton Head Island for $1.00 an acre. Let's call it what it is and that it's all political and now that more Whites are moving back in to the city of Atlanta, they want the district back and the money.

I guess there was absolutely no White qualified candidates? Do I smell the rotten smell of reverse-racism…By any name it stinks. Why when the blacks get in power only blacks are qualified for 'any' positon…..Sad. Tell me it ain't so Jo.

The same old broken record.Hire an affirmative action,grossly overpaid individual that lasts about 2-3 years.The state,federal agencies (white man) that have the real power,authority over sub cultures starts looking with their microscopes,evaluating the school district,performance,finds nothing but a waste of humanity that costs taxpayers millions.Not to mention,kids flunking out,dropping out at accelerated rates,teen pregnancy, way beyond the national,regional (Cherokee,Cobb,Forsyth) averages.
Of couse if a white,highly qualified superintendent from Idaho,Utah,or Montana got hired,there would be a real legitamate chance for success.But then,that would not happen because of affirmative action.
Cynthia Tucker,Cynthia McKinney would have a fit.

This blog is a perfect example of White Right. You think you have a right to everything and anyone not of your kind is unfit to lead. Stop with the racism on here. Our students need good people who know how to work with all races to teach them. Some of you adults are raising a new generation of children who will hate based on skin color. Let's work together to make things better for all and stop with using race to justify why you don't like a hire. Grow up.

Whites need not apply in DeKalb, Clayton, and Atlanta.
Blacks need not apply in Forsyth, Cherokee, and Paulding.
Is it racism? Sure. Does it cut both ways? Sure. The fabric of our country was and is woven in racism. It is a shame. People ought to just be able to see people as people, but this usually does not happen. I am about to leave for Columbus. I look forward to seeing both of my newly-born grand nephews. One is white, and one is racially mixed like my children. Damn! I like diversity! But, let's not get so high and mighty about the DeKalb Board of Education not hiring a white person; the Forsyth County Board of Education likewise would not think of hiring a black person. Institutionalized racism is a very difficult thing to overcome. Maybe this is one reasons I like traveling to Brazil so much. This is land of great diversity, but even there, people of a darker hue are discriminating against, ever how subtly.
August 13th, 2011
2:22 pm
So she has the same credentials as our current president had… Going from not leading much of anything, with bad experience with contact that would keep him from getting a security clearance, and yet he is in charge of our entire country. It's the same thing here only on a smaller scale. At least from what I can see.

You people are really a bunch of sick nuts.Give the woman a chance race please What a nerve to even that word being white WOW.They made the right choice just like every other choice.The woman is not even here yet and here you go.Children are the lowest on the pole and should be at the top.This system needs a cleaning from top to bottom and this is only the being of change.Gwinnett has a white leader and they should have the system is white do not be a fool all of your life D.

@ starlight: You are seeming to confirm my immediate suspicion of Ms. Atkinson. This is why I immediately started calling her "Sister Tsunami." Most of these "national" appointed superintendents and candidates are cut from the same cloth. That's your problem when you go "national."

Many of these remarks come from a bunch of un-informed individuals who want to spread a negative agenda. I have lived and worked in DeKalb County for many years and remember when DeKalb was operated by some backward thinking leaders. Guest what – they were not people of color and those leaders made many mistakes.
Georgia has been ranked near the bottom of education for the past 60 years and remember who was in charge of the county and state during this time. Therefore, give me a break on all the great things from the past.
You can receive a good education in DeKalb County, but the primary efforts must begin in the home. I will await to pass judgement on the newest school chief. Give the woman a chance to lead.
Remember to vote in the next election.

A 11:01 a.m. PatDowns asked what made Dr. Atkinson, who is coming from an even smaller school system, a better choice than Dr. Cox. Since no one has come up with any other credible reasoning, I will agree with Pat. It is because she's black and add that the BOE believes they can keep her under control.
As for those of you on here claiming racism, where were you when Dr. Cox was the candidate? You trashed her for every reason that you are now remaining silent about Dr. Atkinson's qualifications. The racism exhibited on this board is reverse-racism.

A settlement in federal court is forcing the city of Millbrook to change the way it handles sexual harassment complaints. The changes come as a result of a sexual harassment and retaliation lawsuit filed by a former female police officer in 2011.
When asked why the city decided to settle the matter, Millbrook Mayor Al Kelly wouldn't admit to any wrongdoing, but says he felt it was in the city's interest to do so. Kelly says settling would save the city tens of thousands of dollars.
With the settlement, the city of Millbrook will have to answer to the U.S. Department of Justice for a two year period when it comes to sexual harassment complaints.
The city is not only responsible for paying damages to former officer Kristen Spraggins, who filed the suit, but must also offer live training to all employees about sexual harassment, post documents about sexual harassment and form committees to hear complaints. The city will file statements with the DOJ each quarter concerning any such matters.
Spraggins was first employed by the department in 2008, and at the time was its only female officer. Her complaint stated that she received excellent performance evaluations from superiors until she rejected unwanted sexual advances by a co-worker. Her complaint states that she was fired as retaliation for pursuing internal complaints regarding the harassment.
Mayor Kelly says he's concerned that implementing the policies required by the DOJ will be a major financial investment that will take away money the city could spend on other things.
"Police vehicles, parks and recreation," Mayor Kelly said listing off things that the money could go toward. "We've got utility improvements that need to be made, we've got any number of things that all these folks riding up and down this road right now would like to have. We're going to have to go spend some money somewhere else because of this.
The mayor confirmed that eight other officers listed in the lawsuit are still gainfully employed by the police department. No one will be reprimanded or terminated.
Spraggins' attorney said the outcome was acceptable.
Due to the confidentiality agreement, no one involved in the settlement can discuss its terms. There's no way to know how much the settlement could have cost the city of Millbrook. The city has municipal insurance, but it's unclear how much each party will pay.

Veterinary chiropractic is frequently used in conjunction with traditional medicine to treat a variety of conditions including arthritis, hip dysplasia, lameness, intervertebral disk disease (back problems), and gastrointestinal disease.
Chiropractic philosophy is based on the relationship of the spinal cord to the nervous system of the entire body. It primarily involves manipulation of the spinal cord but can also involve manipulation of the leg joints and skull.
Chiropractors treat 'subluxations' which can be described as an abnormal positioning of one musculoskeletal element to another.
For example, one vertebra in the spinal cord can be abnormally positioned next to another vertebra. This subluxation is then manipulated back into a normal position by using a short 'thrust' that is applied very specifically in the correct direction. The manipulation is said to enhance the neurological pathways and potentially improve flexibility and mobility in the animal. Other potential benefits include improved organ functions.
Chiropractic therapy should be used only by a qualified individual and most beneficial when used in conjunction with traditional therapies.
To discuss whether your pet is a candidate for this therapy, please call our clinic to set up a referral with Dr Ely, a certified Animal Chiropractor.

Wild 1, Boston Bruins 0Posted on January 6th, 2009 – 5:53 PM
By Michael Russo
In the past four games, the Wild's played three division leaders, three of the best teams in the NHL (I'm not including Colorado obviously) and the Wild's 3-0-1 in the past four.
Two of those wins have come against the two best teams in each conference — first San Jose, and now Boston, the highest-scoring team in the NHL who hadn't been shut out all season.
Until tonight (sorry, originally this clause was inserted below the quote and read very wrong).
As James Sheppard said, "We needed to play against the best teams in the league to get us to find our true game."
Niklas Backstrom again sparkled for his second consecutive shutout. He's now got five and 14 in his career. He's got 19 wins, a 2.14 goals against average and .929 save percentage. Seems like All-Star worthy numbers to me.
We'll see if the NHL hockey ops — in consultation with each team's GM — agrees Wednesday when the Western Conference All-Star roster is announced at 11 a.m. CT.
Backstrom made 28 saves tonight. His best was an insane one on stud David Krejci. Other notable ones also were a Martin St. Pierre redirection, back-to-back saves on Chuck Kobasew and Stephane Yelle and a Marc Savard shorthanded try.
Backstrom said the Wild rose to the challenge by playing as a team against a talented Bruins' lineup. He also got lucky, too. Krejci also took a shot at an open net that Krys Kolanos blocked with his left leg. Michael Ryder hit the post. Phil Kessel, almost invisible all night, airmailed a shot wide.
The Wild skated with the Bruins, which is why it was able to draw four consecutive power plays at the time. But the Wild had killed off 27 of 28 on the PK during a stretch until Marek Zidlicky's power-play goal through screens by Owen Nolan and Andrew Brunette for a 1-0 second-period Wild lead.
The Wild then pretty much checked the rest of the game in a bit of a hold-on-for-dear-life mode. At one point, Minnesota was outshooting Boston 18-7. The shots ended 28-24 Boston.
But Backstrom, as mentioned, was stellar.
Zidlicky's got five PPG's this year. Thirty of his 40 goals in his career have come on the power play, and incidentally, Zidlicky was not good at all in the game's opening period. On three straight shifts he was victimized — once bigtime by Blake Wheeler — for Boston chances. It was an eventful game for Z, too, because he got nailed on the top lip with a puck after a faceoff in the third. But he didn't lose a tooth.
Shane Hnidy, the Bruins' defenseman, also took a Cal Clutterbuck shot to the head in the game, but he returned.
Kolanos had another great game. He drew a third-period penalty as his teammates for changing and he was the only guy in the offensive zone. Just pure hustle. This guy's NHL resurrection is becoming a terrific story. Outstanding find by Tom Lynn and Crew.
Craig Weller had five hits and brought energy, along with Colton Gillies. Benoit Pouliot got second-line duty at left wing, but he was finally replaced by Sheppard in the third. Pouliot can be maddening at times to watch because he's just got so much talent and isn't doing anything with it — other than turnovers.
Antti Miettinen and Clutterbuck were great on the PK. Martin Skoula started slow, but he was rock solid in the final two periods. And Nick Schultz was outstanding.
Backstrom's shutout streak is at 125:26. His career high is 142:47.
Manny Fernandez was handed his first home loss (9-1). The Wild is 8-1 all-time vs. the B's, 5-0 in Boston. The Wild is 10-1-1 against the East heading into Thursday's game in Philly.
Impressive win for the Wild just considering which team it was playing. Bruins quotes were all about how little room the Wild give — like the old days.
But Lemaire said, "Let's not take this to the bank."
Lemaire didn't seem overly jovial with the game. The Wild checked its way to the win, because as Lemaire said, it still has little prayer of scoring at 5-on-5. But as Lemaire said in Calgary, if the Wild doesn't play a team game, it'll win the "odd game," because of its lack of scoring. This is how it must play to win. It ain't outscoring no one in a run-and-gun game.
Good trip to Boston. Nice to see the fans back in this Original 6 market. And the pregame show here, best in the league I've seen so far.
Talk to you Wednesday from the land of cheesesteaks. I wish I was on the Wild's charter. Ice storm allegedly here in Boston in the a.m. and as advertised, its indeed here. Wish me luck.
Puck drop coming off.
Same lineup as reported this morning for the Wild — Veilleux sick, Boogey hurt. Pouliot in. Scott in. Reitz the lone healthy scratch.
Backstrom vs. Fernandez (the guy who snubbed Tom Reid despite the fact he's probably cashed in on a couple dozen or more gift certificates given to him over the years by Reid).
By the way, if I didn't mention earlier today, Houston Aeros players Corey Locke and Barry Brust were named to the AHL All-Star Game this afternoon.
Assistant coach Mike Ramsey is sick. Bob Mason is behind the bench for him.

Can Hypnosis Help You Finally Get Fit?
Pages in this Story:
- Free Your Mind, Meet Your Goals?
- Using Hypnosis to Improve Your Performance
- Using Hypnosis to Fight Pain
- Using Hypnosis to Get Past Your Fears
- I Tried Hypnosis for Weight Loss
Free Your Mind, Meet Your Goals?
When I hear that phrase "You are getting sleepy," all I get is skeptical. Hypnosis makes me think of a pendulous stopwatch and audiences at comedy shows quacking like ducks. You too, I bet. But it's making a comeback. Celebs have been lining up to try it: Ellen DeGeneres, Drew Barrymore, and Matt Damon all have used it to quit smoking; Mandy Moore and Fergie, to reduce anxiety; and Lily Allen and Courtney Love, to drop pounds.
There's a good reason for the resurgence: A pile of new research shows that it works. "In the past 10 years the empirical data on hypnosis has exploded," says Guy Montgomery, PhD, director of the integrative behavioral medicine program at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City. "Hypnosis has been shown to be effective in hundreds of rigorous studies." Plus, there's more awareness and acceptance of alternative therapies now; nearly 40 percent of us use some form of alternative medicine, according to a new government survey of more than 23,000 U.S. adults.
While most researchers and doctors agree on the definition of hypnosis -- an altered state of consciousness characterized by heightened suggestibility and receptivity to direction -- the jury's still out on how it works. Some scientists theorize that hypnosis bypasses your conscious thoughts and goes directly to your unconscious mind, while others believe that it helps you change the way you perceive the world. One thing that's clear is the strength of the mind-body connection. Simply thinking a negative thought triggers the release of stress hormones, but focusing on happiness, love, or joy produces feel-good chemicals, such as serotonin and endorphins, which diminish anxiety, says Tracy Latz, MD, a psychiatrist and coauthor of Shift: A Woman's Guide to Transformation.
Still skeptical? You don't have to schedule an appointment to reap the benefits. We sorted through the research and grilled the experts on how you can think yourself into doing almost anything. Hypnotists have an arsenal of mental tools you can borrow and use on your own that range from "hypnosis light" -- visualization exercises and positive thinking -- to outright self-hypnosis. Get ready to master them -- and run faster, face your fear, feel less pain, and more.

When applied to weight loss, hypnosis transforms an otherwise laborious and tasking process to one that the individual performing self-hypnosis weight loss enjoys the process. This makes it easier to get one-self inspired to undertake basic routines with much ease. This is where hypnosis that is self-administered can be used to achieve weight loss faster and easily.CHECK OUT -- http://tinyurl.com/preuox43/17/2014 01:18:26 AM Report Abuse

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (16 votes).
In short: Good, but challenging race, which is well organised.Date of review: August 25, 2014
In short: Slow race due to terrain.Date of review: August 24, 2014
In short: Nice Sunday morning run in lovely surroundings!In full: Enjoyable small race, well organised and nice atmosphere. Re some of the criticisms of others - it was clearly advertised as 'multi-terrain' so surely uneven ground, long grass, holes, hills etc should have been expected - also it is an event put on to raise money for charity so quite right that the organisers don't waste funds on medals! I loved it and look forward to next year.Date of review: August 29, 2013
In short: Hills, Hills & More HillsIn full: This was my first 10k and although a little hilly the course between 8-10k could have been a lot better signposted as at the back it was hard to decipher where the course went (and I saw someone cut out a massive chunk of the course due to getting lost!!)Date of review: August 27, 2013
In short: Beautiful surroundings for a tricky little raceIn full: The Good- beautiful scenery, friendly atmosphere and very good valueThe Bad- marshalling could have been a little better. We were some of the slower runners, and at times we were uncertain of which route to take as there was no one else to follow! Some of the fields can be a bit tricky, with holes in the ground where I nearly turned my ankle several times. A medal at the end would also have been nice, although not a deal breaker as the event is otherwise good value for moneyDate of review: October 29, 2012
In short: Fabulous raceDate of review: September 22, 2012
In short: My first ever 10km run, it was fantastic, yes there were hills and holes but the atmosphere was fantastic. Cannot wait until next yearDate of review: August 28, 2012
In short: Scenic, but tough 10kIn full: Course was a lovely off-road run around Englefield park and village - I was expecting maybe half off-road and half on, but it was nearly all off-road. The course was tough, after a flat 1st kilometre it was then undulating for the majority of the course - even the flat parts was on energy sapping long, uneven grass - and the final hill near the end really saps your legs.I enjoyed the day, but some observations for next year:- Start went straight through a very uneven wooded section, right next to a lovely flat grassy area - with 200 or so runners dodging holes, nettles and trees it may be more logical to start on the even ground?- Kids fun run could be done early so the parents could join in?- 11am start wasn't a problem as wasn't too warm - but in August could be problematic if a hot day.- Some areas of the course had some hidden holes and even barbed wire(!) which could have done with a marshall/sign to warn runnersDate of review: August 27, 2012
In short: Lovely off road runIn full: A challenging XC run through scenic countryside surrounding Englefield House, Very friendly marshalls and well organised.Date of review: August 27, 2012
In short: Beautiful setting, Tough CourseIn full: The setting on the Englefield Estate was perfect, completely traffic free and well marshalled. The course however was extremely challenging, not only because of the numerous undulations, but many of the flatter sections were energy sapping due to the uneven surface and long grass. The organisation was excellent and there was a nice atmosphere. More training required before next year. Date of review: August 27, 2012
