GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
This is a top notch school. The teachers are caring and very good. They push the kids to do their very best. The kids are expected to work hard, study and succeed. If your child is strong in math and literacy there are more advanced classes to keep them moving forward at a quicker pace. The school is safe and a great place for learning to occur. The principle cares alot about the school and the students and really takes the time to learn all the kids names as soon as they walk through the front door. Our school has acheived really strong CMT scores again. My kids come home very happy from Whisconier they love their school and so do I.
Great teachers and faculty doing their best for all of the students.
This school is absolutely wonderful. My son is in 5th grade here and I find that his teachers are attentive and caring. His progress reports are e-mailed to me and if he has not handed something in, his teachers usually notify me. He is doing so much better here than he did in his prior school, and he is happier here as well!
I love WMS! I've lived in six states and have went to multiple middle schools and by far, WMS has been the best school I have ever attended. Not only curriculum, but the way it's teached causes WMS to be the best school I have ever experienced.
I really like the school! When I do not understand something, my teachers are always at hand and help me to solve my problems.
Worse than unsatisfactory. This school was horrible. The teachers don't really care, they're not helpful, and we're unable to provide a decent education/enviorment for me. The extra help/disabilitie program is terrible.

42% of parents have paid a child's debt
Before bailing out offspring, ask yourself whether you're really helping.
A new poll by CreditCards.com found that 42% of people with adult children have paid a debt for their children at some point. But should they?
The debts most commonly paid off were auto loans (40%) and medical debt (37%). But the survey also found that parents had paid utility debt (31%), credit cards (30%), student loans (29%) and mortgages (11%).
"It used to be that kids would be embarrassed to ask for help. Not anymore," Michael McAuliffe, president of Family Credit Management, a Chicago nonprofit credit counseling agency, told CreditCards.com's Connie Prater.
The current generation of parents has always provided more help to their children than their parents' generation did, helping with everything from homework to science projects to college essays and beyond.
This trend, coupled with changes in the economy, has found many parents continuing to help their children financially long past college. The staggering rates of college loan debt, plus job losses, have increased the financial struggle for both parents and adult children.
But should parents be paying their children's debts? In the CreditCards.com article, McAuliffe offers several questions for parents to ask themselves when weighing whether to help out an adult child.
- Can you afford it? If you don't have a sound retirement plan in place, you probably can't afford to help your children significantly. "If you don't have your retirement on track, then to me, that's the end of the discussion," McAuliffe says.
- Does the child have a financial rescue plan for himself? Help your child look at the big picture. If he doesn't have a job, paying a mortgage payment for him isn't going to help in the long term. Should he sell the house? Search for a different kind of job?
- Has your child cut expenses and made sacrifices before coming to you for help? If your child is still going out for expensive meals, buying all the latest electronic gadgets and otherwise being financially irresponsible, does he really need your help?
- Can you help your child in another way rather than with money? Perhaps you can baby-sit while she works, let him move in with you, provide job-hunting help or otherwise help your child get his financial house in order.
Under what circumstances would you pay your children's debts? Or ask your parents for help? Is young people's failure to launch a fault of the economy or of parental expectations, or a little bit of both?

Luther has always been unashamedly cinematic. Its stories are already feature-length and – aside from the necessary cliffhangers written in to divide up episodes – have a beat pattern much more attuned to film than television. Take the first episode of the most recent series, for example. Its climax was a drawn-out sequence so unbelievably tense that it caused me to visibly age by about three decades. It was the stuff of first-rate horror movies, not down-at-heel BBC1 police dramas.
Luther the movie – is a move to the big screen a good idea for the detective? | Television & radio | guardian.co.uk
Whoah … I feel a swoon coming on. Luther, the movie?? Okay, but I agree: not without Alice …
Second, a Luther film wouldn't be a Luther film without Alice Morgan. As a character, Luther is never better than when he's caught up in her psychotic web. He's intrigued with her, he's appalled by her and he's possibly in love with her. She's leagues more interesting than last year's stage-school prostitute or that weird trash-talking Pam Ferris gangster – plus Ruth Wilson's star is on a similar ascent – so she desperately needs a spot alongside Luther on the big screen.

We're going to take a break from talking about the Mets here (OK, too late) and throw in some WBC thoughts. I didn't watch a lot of the games, but I did follow along, so I'm just going to go to bullet points here.
- I love Davey Johnson. That out of the way, the WBC won't go down as his finest hour. How was Jimmy Rollins, perhaps the best defensive infielder on the entire USA roster, DHing last night? How was Adam Dunn, perhaps the worst defensive player in the entire tournament, playing LF? How was Mark DeRosa the first baseman? Last night's lineup made absolutely no sense. Put Granderson, Victorino, and Braun in the outfield, Dunn as the DH, and figure something out at first base (Jeter? I mean, why not, it's not like DeRosa has played there with any regularity) and you're using your available pieces in the best possible way.
- Of course, Team USA should have made a decision on Jeter vs. Rollins well before last night, and it should have been Rollins. By having both shortstops on the roster, it guaranteed that this would remain an issue for the duration of the tournament. This team did not need two shortstops, and Rollins today is a far better player than Jeter. It seemed the only reason Jeter was there is because the selection committee didn't want to tell him no. Look, Jeter was a great player, and is a future first ballot Hall of Famer, but there is no reason he should have been playing the field over Jimmy Rollins last night.
- Roy Oswalt stinks. The Astros have some serious stink potential this season, whatever the over/under is on their number of wins in Vegas, bet heavy on the under. Is there a single decent player on that team outside of Berkman and Lee and maybe Oswalt?
- I hate to play the "they wanted it more" card here, but I did get the feeling (and perhaps incorrectly) that Japan was way more geeked up for this game than the US. The US players seemed to play at spring training speed, but the Japanese were playing at midseason speed. That said, the US still could have won this game had it not been for some costly errors (one of which likely would not have been made with Rollins in the game, and damn you Davey Johnson for making me DEFEND that man!).
- The best idea I've read for "fixing" the WBC I read over at Fangraphs a few days ago. A single elimination tournament during All Star week makes so much more sense. You don't have to worry about pitch counts, you don't have to worry about rusty looking players, you don't have to worry about blowing out starter's arms (since they'd only pitch once), the All Star game is largely meaningless anyway, and being single elimination doesn't make the tournament any less of a crapshoot than it already is. The only issue is taking a weekend of games in mid-July out of ownership's pockets, but I'm sure brighter minds than mine can figure out a way to make that up to the owners.
That's all I have for right now. Feel free to leave your random WBC comments below. And on a programming note, you will actually receive some updates later this week, as I'm packing up and traveling to Florida for a few days for some spring training baseball, and I will make sure to leave my thoughts and pictures for you right here on this site, so please check back on Thursday for that!

Hamden (AP) — Secret Service officials say they won't be making an arrest in a Connecticut case involving an alleged threat against President Barack Obama.
The Secret Service took an unidentified man into custody for questioning in Hamden last Friday night after tracking his cell phone and locating his car outside an ice rink. Authorities didn't disclose details of the alleged threat.
Secret Service spokesman Robert Hoback told the New Haven Register that authorities determined charges weren't warranted after conducting an investigation. Hoback said he didn't believe there was any real threat to the president.
Obama traveled to Westchester County, New York, last Friday for fundraising and other events, then flew to Rhode Island.

All Pennsylvania Polling Places Operational for Tuesday's Election
Governor Tom Corbett announced Monday afternoon that all Pennsylvania voters will be able to cast ballots as usual tomorrow, as power has been restored to almost all polling locations following Hurricane Sandy.
As of mid-afternoon Monday, five polling locations remained without power. Emergency generators were on site at each of these five locations in the event electricity is not restored by Tuesday's election.
Bucks County election officials are moving one polling site, from Riegelsville Borough Hall to Riegelsville Fire Hall, 333 Delaware Ave., Riegelsville, due to a damaged pole and dangling wires at the borough hall site.
"Governor Corbett directed last week that the Department of State work cooperatively with the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission, the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency, county emergency management officials, and county election offices, to identify the locations of all polling places in Pennsylvania," said Secretary of the Commonwealth Carol Aichele, whose department oversees elections. "Working cooperatively, we provided this list to utilities, which, at the governor's request, prioritized returning power to polling stations."
Aichele commended the governor for his leadership in the effort, and thanked all the emergency responders and utility crews who worked long hours to make sure Pennsylvanians could exercise their right to vote.
"We all owe a debt of gratitude to these men and women, many of whom spent days away from their families, to make sure our election will take place without disruption," Aichele said.
Polls are open in Pennsylvania from 7 a.m. until 8 p.m. For more information, visit http://www.votespa.com/.

KENNEWICK, Wash. -More
farmers in the Mid-Columbia may plant canola this spring.
Growers attending the Washington
State University Oilseed Production and Marketing Conference are learning there
is a worldwide shortage of canola and other vegetable oils because growing Asian
countries are consuming more of it.
"People's incomes have risen
and they're doing stir frying and eating meat instead of rice," says Dennis
Roe with the Department of Crop and Soil Sciences at WSU Pullman. "Plus there's
an interest in using vegetable oil for bio fuel."
Roe says Washington state farmers
will grow 30,000 acres of canola this year, double what growers harvested last
price of canola has nearly tripled in the past five years, from eight to ten
cents to 25 to 30 cents per pound.

Entrepreneurship, Food
For years, Rachel Hofstetter (@rachelhoffy) was paid to eat and drink as a food editor at places like O, the Oprah Magazine and Reader's Digest (dream!). But besides the copious amounts of chocolate and cheese, her favorite part of the job was talking with up-and-coming food entrepreneurs. Their stories led to "Cooking Up a Business" (Penguin, 2013), an insider guide to the world of food startups. As she wrote the book, Rachel picked up the entrepreneurial itch (it's contagious!). She left her formal food editor career to launch guesterly, a software platform that enables anyone to create a custom playbill for life's special events. Now she shares guesterly with the world and writes about entrepreneurship (and all the cool entrepreneurs who inspire her).

The AIFM Directive is a managers' directive as opposed to regulating AIFs themselves. The AIFMD seeks to harmonise the regulation of AIFMs. The passport is a means for AIFMs to demonstrate that they have attained the necessary requirements to be allowed to act as an Alternative Investment Fund Manager in the EU to market AIFs from any other EU Member States.
The passport will become available from 2013 at the latest, once the Directive's transposition date has passed and until 2015 will only be available to EU AIFMs marketing EU AIFs. From 2015, EU AIFMs will be able to use the passport for the marketing of non-EU AIFs and depending on the outcome of the ESMA analysis of the passport's success, the passport will become available for non-EU AIFMs wishing to market AIFs in the EU.
In the meantime, the national private placement regime may continue to exist for non-EU AIFMs and non-professional investors, requiring a registration in each country of distribution. It is expected that the private placement regime will continue to exist alongside the passport until 2018.
Our fund registration and distribution team has acquired in depth knowledge of the international distribution of investment funds. The team, through its far reaching established network with various national regulators can offer our clients the following services:

Social Networking Need
Advantages of social networking are some who must be involved social networks as part of the advertising strategy is reflected by all companies. There are still many people who believe they are nothing but pure waste of time. If it is not too convinced of the advantages of professional social networking Read below to know how their social network can help you.
Building a relationship: corporate social networking will help you become more popular, and building relationships. You can use social networking to build relationships, strengthen relationships, and get some links from mutual friends in these social networks. Consider one of the greatest ways to get links and relations very easily. It's all about building new relationships.
Image building: social networking is a way to build brand awareness and image of your company. Have an area of the logo of your company in different parts of the site, using photos and video products and your services – just to spread the word about your business as you can. The more you're able to talk about them and more positively, you can create a brand for yourself.
Stay connected: your social network by the company you keep in touch with the people who work with or work out areas where communication is difficult. We try to keep in touch with our friends from the phone calls, letters and emails, but sometimes due to our busy lives, and it becomes very difficult. Social networks with very little time, your customers will be happy if you take a message for his birthday and wish them good health. You can stay in contact with all customers and businesses without incurring additional amounts.
Exchange of views: Companies are increasingly using social networks to express their views and share their opinions with others. This would not be possible for all employees to communicate with the CEO or management – in this case, management is trying to build a platform for social networks, and offers suggestions, opinions and comments on various issues. This helps companies to offer their comments and suggestions from different angles and helps create a comfortable working environment for all.
This is probably one of the best reasons why social networking has become so common today. Companies need to promotions and advertising and social networking may be the best way to do so. Suppose that the company intends to launch a luxurious multi-purpose kitchen – before the start of production or push their plans for new product introductions, the company may decide to talk about this product via social networks. Individuals or other companies will soon respond to the news – it gives the company scope to understand how the adoption of a new product.

Look: Creating Picture Frame Collages
Creating art or photographic collages with multiple pieces is a great way to brighten up a large wall. Our friend Peggy over at Design FormuLA posted some great ideas for wall collages, even going so far as to include some outline plans as shown below...

great resource! and great wallpaper in that pic!
I'm wondering how many large pieces can be worked into a wall collection like this. Is there a rule of thumb for a ratio of large peices to small pieces? I'm wanting to arrange a collection on a large wall and the end of my great room, and mix it with a few small ornate mirrors. The challenge I seem to be having is that most of my art is the same size. hrm.
Awesome! Great for someone like me who always wants to do a wall collage, but needs more guidance.
crazy! i did something like this as a valentine's day present to my husband yesterday with frames from ikea, some thumbtacks, clips and our honeymoon photos from belize! i think i need to add to it after seeing these-- i have about 25 pics so far. this is very inspiring!
I think this is my all time fav room so far from Domino!
This is one of my favorite pics too...
I have an always evolving photo/art collage in my playroom that I love...
Except, um, the diagrams and the photos don't match.
Uh guys? This is LA, remember? Earthquakes? Not over the bed. Think about it: It's 2 a.m., pitch black and the building starts shaking back and forth, pitching all those lovely pictures (but more, importantly, their frames) off the wall and - yep - right on some already-disoriented, freaked out sleepers who may or may not be able to stand, may or may not be already on the floor, may or may not be able to turn on the lights. A nice tapestry collage, sure, but hard objects over the bed? Bad idea.

OFP being Optimal fetal positioning... Just curious if any of you actively worked towards helping baby in to a good position for birth & if so, when did you start?
I love spinningbabies but I can never seem to find the WHEN just the HOW to help them get into position. I know he is already head down, but he is still face out and chilling on my right side. I know we still have plenty of time (we are just over 30 weeks at this point), but I am little and he is big (so says my midwife, docs, & family history), so I want to do all I can while he still has room to move in there.
We really want to have a natural birth, so I want to do whatever is in my power now to increase our odds of having one.

Arsenal step closer to signing out of favor Barcelona star David Villa
1/29/13 in Soccer | JamesSmith23 | 1413 respect
According to the latest reports, David Villa could still be on his way to the English Premier League. Arsenal are stepping closer to signing the out of favor Barcelona forward David Villa after formal talks for transfer began recently.
Arsenal's contract negotiator, Dick Law flew to Barcelona to get the proceedings underway. The Emirates boss Arsene Wenger is hopeful of a move before the winter transfer window expires, which is set to happen on Thursday night.
Both clubs have refused to reveal whether they are currently negotiating a transfer deal over David Villa. Arsenal have been after David Villa since the summer transfer window. David Villa, who is the record goal scorer for Spain, has been unable to win over Tito Vilanova since he prefers to use a 'false nine' role in his team.
The 31-year-old has been sidelined from Barcelona's first-team, even though he has been impressive. David Villa has been unhappy with the amount of playing time he is getting under Tito Vilanova, which is why he is keen on making an away move.
Arsenal have reportedly made a breakthrough in the negotiating process. Rife rumors suggest David Villa is set for a medical test at Arsenal's medical facility before the weekend begins. Such reports are mere speculation right now, but the next 48 hours should reveal more.
Arsene Wenger is prepared to pay as much as £14 million in transfer fees and a salary of £110,000-a-week to David Villa. Signing in David Villa will be one of the most untraditional decisions Arsene Wenger takes in his spell at Arsenal. The Frenchman usually prefers to sign in younger players at lower transfer fees.
The pursuit for David Villa shows how desperate Arsene Wenger has become to end the seven-year silverware drought Arsenal is going through. Arsene Wenger is under extreme pressure of winning some kind of silverware as he is under-threat of losing his job.
Arsenal are currently positioned sixth in the Premier League, just four points away from London rivals Tottenham Hotspur. The North London club faces the German football giants Bayern Munich in Champions League next month.

A lumbar strain is an injury to the lower back, which results in damaged tendons and muscles that spasm and feel sore.
Trauma can injure the tendons and muscles in the lower back. Pushing and pulling sports, such as weight lifting or football, can lead to a lumbar strain. In addition, sports that require sudden twisting of the lower back, such as in tennis, basketball, baseball, and golf, can lead to this injury. Certain risk factors, such as excessive lower back curvature, forward-tilted pelvis, weak back and/or abdominal muscles, and tight hamstrings, can increase the risk for this injury.
The following are the most common symptoms of a lumbar strain. However, each individual may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
Sudden lower back pain
Spasms in the lower back that result in more severe pain
Lower back feels sore to the touch
The symptoms of a lumbar strain may resemble other conditions and medical problems. Always consult your doctor for a diagnosis.
Diagnosis of a lumbar strain is usually confirmed with a complete medical history and physical examination.
Specific treatment for a lumbar strain will be determined by your doctor based on:
Your age, overall health, and medical history
Extent of the injury
Your tolerance for specific medications, procedures, and therapies
Expectation for the course of the injury
Your opinion or preference
Treatment may include:
Ice packs and compression applied to the back
Exercises (to strengthen the abdominal muscles)
Stretching and strengthening exercises (for the lower back as it heals)
Education regarding the use and wearing of appropriate protective equipment
Medications, such as anti-inflammatories
Contact your doctor immediately for the following:
Pain radiating down the leg
Pain that is accompanied by fever, weakness in the leg, or loss of control of the bladder or bowels

EAST MEADOW, N.Y. (PIX11)—Police arrested 11 people after a fight broke out at the Nassau University Medical Center Emergency Room in East Meadow Saturday morning.
Authorities say officers responded to the Long Island medical center after a crowd began arguing around 12:30 a.m.
The arrested, described as being both men and women in their 20s, were trying to visit Rudy Montour, 23, a murder suspect who had been shot earlier that night by police during a chase.
Police were called after the group tried to enter the emergency room and were aggressive toward the staff. Once the police arrived the crowd threatened them and back up units were called in.
When police tried to arrest one individual, Kadeen McDonald, 21, of Hempstead, the suspect struck an officer and fractured the officer's hand. McDonald was then placed into custody and charged with assault in the second degree.
The other defendants were Timothy Fenner, 21, of Uniondale, Genevieve Mamouzette, 22, of Hempstead, Jason Fraser, 20, of Freeport, Derick Hernandez, 20, of Roosevelt, Andre Warsop, 23, of Hempstead, Marcus Spooner, 21, of Hempstead, Jeremy Pryor, 20, of Hempstead, Terrance Pinkard, 21, of Far Rockaway, Gary Mosley, 19, of Roosevelt and Celena Lewis, 24, of Jamaica.
Those arrested were charged with riot, obstructing governmental and resisting arrest. All 11 individuals pleaded not guilty.
No hospital staff was injured.

The Court Process
There are several steps in the judicial process. The first step after being arrested is the arraignment. You will be asked to appear in court for the first time within 48 hours of the arrest. The primary function of the arraignment is to enter a plea. This is not the time to tell the judge your story.
The following information is provided to give you information about the arraignment process.
When: The time and date for your arraignment will be listed on the citation. The actual time appearing before the judge will be 5-10 minutes. Be sure to allow at least 1 hour for the whole process. *
Where: The Kent Municipal Court is located at 214 South Water St. in Kent and the Ravenna Municipal Court is located at 203 West main St. in Ravenna.
What Happens: When you first arrive you will need to present your citation to the municipal clerk's office. They will file the citation and present you with a copy before you enter the court room. Then you will be asked to wait in the court room until the judge calls your name. When your name is called, approach the court standing on the left side. The judge will ask you if you understand the charges. The judge will then read the charges and ask you to enter a plea. At this point, one of two things can happen: 1) Not Guilty- A later court date is set or 2) Guilty, No Contest- Judge gives sentence.
By Pleading Not Guilty you have time to explore your options and seek council. IF YOU ARE NOT SURE OR DON'T KNOW, PLEAD NOT GUILTY. The judge will set a later court date for you to appear. This provides time for you to seek council or ask for a public defender, if you meet certain financial requirements. Student Legal Services is available to answer any questions you might have. This also provides time to deal with individual circumstances and finding possible defenses.
By pleading guilty or no contest, your options are limited. The judge will ask the police officer to read the report and any additional comments. Then you will have the opportunity to make a statement before the court. Once the judge has heard both sides, he will render his sentence. Remember that you are pleading guilty and he can impose the maximum sentence.
A not guilty plea means that you not want to give up any of your constitiutional rights at this time and the trial will be scheduled for a later date. At this trial, the prosecution will have to prove you are guilty as to each and every element of the offense charged against you beyond a reasonable doubt. You will be able to subpoena witness in your defense at the trial.
A no contest plea does not admit your guilt, but does admit the truth of the facts alleged in the complaint against you. Both you and the prosecutor will be permitted to make statements and then you will be found either guilty or not guilty depending on the evidence. If the facts which you do not dispute meet all the elements of the offense which you are charged with, the judge will find you guilty and you will be sentenced. A no contest plea cannot be used against you in a later civil or criminal case.
A guilty plea is a complete admission of your guilt as to the charge(s) against you. You will be permitted to make a statement explaining any justification before the judge imposes the sentence.
There are several levels of misdemeanor offenses and each carries with it a different maximum fine and possible jail time. The misdemeanor that is committed will correspond with one of the following categories. (See Chart) If found guilty, the Judge can give the maximum sentence. The Judge also has the right to suspend or add any condition to the sentence; such as community service or being a law abiding citizen for one or more years.
Possible Jail
1st Degree
Six Months
2nd Degree
90 Days
3rd Degree
60 Days
4th Degree
30 Days
Minor Misdemeanor
No Jail
In determining your sentence, the court will consider the following: your prior criminal record, the risk that you will commit another offense, the nature and circumstances of the current offense, (i.e., violence vs no violence) and statements made by any victim. You can "work off" any fine through community service, but not court costs. Consider mediation to resolve disputes. Make out an alternating weekly chore list. Live with people you know well and get along with. Respect others possessions.
As a defendant in a criminal or traffic case you have several rights in court.
1. The right to an attorney and a reasonable continuance to obtain the services of an attorney. If you are unemployed and/ or cannot afford an attorney, the court may appoint an attorney for you if the offense carries any jail time.
2. The right to know the nature of the charge(s) against you, identity of the complaint(s), and the right to read the complaint.
3. The right to remain silent to the charge(s) against you. You also have the right to testify for yourself or tell the court of any fact or circumstances that the court should know about. However, anything you do say regarding the charges may be used against you.
4. The right to a jury trial of eight people on any charge where jail time is possible.
5. The right to a speedy trial.
6. The right to a cross-examine any witness who is called to testify against you.

The high temperature on April 12th is estimated to be 86 and slightly cloudy. That's as far out as the forecast goes.
If the high temperatures are less than 90 all three days, I will be giving out hot dickings!
Accuweather has a 15 day forecast and Friday 16 is supposed to be partly suny and 84. That is really comfortable for Coachella. I just hope its not too cool at night!
Wow, the temp difference will be weird!
Chuck Norris can sneeze with his eyes open

I don't know about the weather, but the Coachella flu is here early this year and it is hitting hard.
You are VERY lucky it wasn't this weekend. We have had high winds & sand blasts. Your tent would be in Blythe & your eyes would be all blood shot from the sand.
It's gonna be cold at night. Bring your knickers.
Here's a photo of what the winds did a couple hours ago in Palm Springs.
gps, that's fucking intense.
I'll take scorching temps over high winds...high winds fuck up the sound bad.
I like the scorching temps, it's part of the fun... I hope it's not cold this year. And by cold I mean below 90 degrees.

AccuWeather says it's going to be partly sunny and 84 on the 17th, that would be GREAT!
It's been really windy up and down the west coast this week, I'm glad we're all getting that bullshit out of the way soon.
I truly believe this festival will be blessed with 90 degree weather all weekend. I remember last year how the early 14-day forecasts before Coachella predicted much cooler weather than what ultimately became a reality.
I'm hoping for another repeat.

John Moran: close up of Algae on the Santa Fe River 2012
You will need Adobe Reader to view some of the files on this page. See EPA's PDF page to learn more.
Clean water is vital for Florida. Excess nitrogen and phosphorus, or "nutrient pollution," is the primary cause of water quality impairment throughout the state and causes algae blooms -- the thick, green muck that fouls clear water. Nutrient pollution threatens human health and the environment, hurts businesses, costs jobs, reduces property values and otherwise impacts the quality of life for all Floridians. Water quality standards help to protect and restore the quality of the nation's surface waters, consistent with the requirements of the Clean Water Act.
January 2014 Court Ruling
On January 7, 2014, the court agreed to amend the Consent Decree to be consistent with the November 2012 (PDF) (4 pp, 1.4MB) and June 2013 (PDF) (7 pp, 2.7MB) amendments to EPA's January 2009 Determination (PDF) (10 pp, 198K). As a result of this ruling, EPA is no longer obligated to promulgate numeric nutrient criteria for Florida's waters. For more information, visit the Consent Decree and Determination page.
- Fact Sheet (PDF) (2 pp, 210K)
Previous Actions to Address Nutrient Pollution in Florida
EPA-FDEP March 2013 Agreement
An agreement (PDF) (23 pp, 70K) between EPA and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) outlined milestones that would lead to Florida establishing EPA-approved criteria for the majority of the state's waters.
Florida Department of Environmental Protection's Rules
FDEP submitted to EPA for approval rules establishing numeric criteria on the amount of nitrogen and phosphorus allowed in Florida's waterways. After careful review, on November 30, 2012, June 27, 2013, and September 26, 2013, EPA approved FDEP's rules and supporting documentation as consistent with the requirements of the Clean Water Act and applicable federal regulations for the water bodies they cover. As a result of these approvals, Florida now has numeric nutrient criteria for all fresh water lakess, springs, estuaries and coastal waters, and the majority of flowing waters in the state.
More information about EPA's approval of Florida's nutrient rules can be found here.
Federal Rulemakings
In accordance with consent decree requirements and because the state's rules did not cover some coastal waters, many estuaries and a subset of flowing waters, EPA proposed two federal rules that address these water bodies. More information on EPA's proposed rules is provided below.
- The first rule (Inland Rule) served to clarify some provisions in the rule EPA promulgated in 2010 establishing numeric nutrient limits in Florida's streams and rivers.
EPA also proposed to stay (postpone the applicability) the effective date for this rule to November 15, 2013.
- The second rule (Coastal Rule) proposed numeric nutrient limits for those estuaries not covered by the state rule, coastal waters, and flowing waters in South Florida.
EPA held two public information sessions about the proposed rules in Tampa, Florida on January 17 and 18. The Agency also held three webinars on January 22, 23, and 24.

Sumatra is one of the world's more exotic coffee destinations ... and peopled by folks of great character. Sumatran coffees tend to show tremendous character, too, and ours is no exception.
We've updated our roast for the K-Cup version of this coffee ... Our roast is now deep and deliciously dark, offering a sweet palate of brown sugar and spice notes. Look for lots of body in this big, bold K-Cup coffee.
A great tasting cup of coffee can give you a whole new perspective. It's a moment to pause, reflect, and reprioritize. That moment is what inspires us to make coffee that benefits everyone it touches. From carefully sourcing and roasting the highest quality beans, to supporting small farms and protecting the environment, we focus on what's important.
That's why we at Green Mountain Coffee® believe a good cup of coffee can change your day... but a great cup of coffee can help change the world.
Beans from Sumatra have always been highly prized not only because of their full flavor, but also because of their distinct appearance. Sumatran coffee beans, when green, are often asymmetrical in shape and have a deep aquamarine tint. Beginning in the 18th century when the popularity of Sumatran coffee rose significantly, the unique shape and hue helped European merchants recognize authentic Sumatran coffee beans.
However, Sumatran coffee's distinct appearance isn't the only factor contributing to the coffee's uniqueness. The unusual drying techniques employed by Sumatran coffee farmers also contribute to the coffee's distinctiveness. These techniques involve an extended period of the coffee bean's exposure to the pulp of the berry after the berry has been harvested — a process which is believed to produce deeper tones in the brewed coffee.
Besides the exquisite flavor, the cooperative that grows this coffee has many reasons to be proud of their beans. Known as the Gayo Organic Farmers Association, this co-op grows 100 percent organic beans. With the funds from their coffee sales, this community of growers has started a project to bring safe drinking water to more than 1,500 people. The cooperative has also saved funds to help farmers with the reconstruction of their homes, many of which were destroyed in the war, and to aid in the construction of two new schools. This coffee has truly delightful qualities in its origin as well as in the cup.

FTO not the same! I'm very sad...
By Mark
from Clearwatre
About Me Average Joe
Comments about Green Mountain Coffee K-Cup FTO Sumatran Reserve Extra Bold:
I have been drinking Sumatran Reserve for over a year after trying MANY others. The change to FTO was profound! The coffee is weak compared to non-FTO, you can actually see the difference as the coffee brews. I do like the Sumatran taste so I will be trying our vendors Sumatran Reserve. Bummer, I really enjoyed Green Mountain Sumatran Reserve before the change to FTO.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Change in product is not a GOOD change
By CoffeeQueen
from Beaumont TX
About Me Coffee addict
I had read about how this coffee had changed, and I thought well, it was for the better since it has been GREAT, very flavorful, deep and rich with distinctive taste. I've been buying it at the grocery store since it is readily available there...but my most recent grocery store purchase revealed a change in packaging -- the K-cup is different looking....Uh-Oh. It has now LOST everything that made this coffee special. It's weak, tastes like a basic nothing coffee....What happened? I had JUST put it on my membership order....I'll give it ONE chance then it's out of my life. With many other choices being bland and lacking body, I wonder if Starbucks has a more flavorful, rich and full K-cup?
Perfect Cup-O-Sumatra
By ScholtesJ
from Calmar, IA
About Me Average Joe, Coffee Connoisseur, Health Conscious, Socially/Environmentally Conscious
Comparable to Starbucks Sumatra roast coffee. I prefer this because it's USDA organic and fair trade certified. This is not a coffee that everyone will enjoy. My preference is strong and bold flavored coffee. I'm happy it's in the cupboard for my hubby and I, but a medium roast is a safer crowd pleaser.

Flavor has changed, Weaker now
By Somewhere in NJ
from Franklin Twp, NJ
We have been using this product for many years but lately the formulation or beans selected/roasted seems to be weaker than it use to be. The aroma seems to have also changed. I am now looking for a replacement for this, perhaps the Barista Prime Italian Roast.

Tully's French Roast a good new friend!
By Greatovenmitt
from Wilmington,DE
The formula has changed from Bold to a weaker Medium blend with no aroma on this GM Sumatran. I have since found a substitute which is Dark,Bold and has great aroma: Tullys French Roast.

About Me Average Joe, Foodie

Coffee changed with the new packaging
By JP
from Hartsville, PA
I have been receiving this coffee on auto-delivery for several years and find that with each package change the coffee is not as good; weakened flavor. This last change has me looking for something else. I had to change the Keurig water amount all the way down to a 6 oz cup. My family and I are very disappointed. I would no longer recommend this coffee.

XDCR "aggresiveness"
I am in the situation where I only have 2 nodes to run CB. This means I have to use XDCR replication to make sure both nodes have the same information.
I have XDCR up-and-running, but I notice that it is sort of "lazy". When I put write/read load on the nodes I notice that at some point each CB instance has thousands of pending replications which means the systems are not in sync. After a while it seems to pick up the speed and after 4 to 5 minutes it is in sync.
Unfortunately by that time the data in CB is a mess because updates and delete operations have gone wrong as the application tries to delete a record on CB instance B while it was added to CB instance A and not replicated yet.
I've experimented with the XDCR settings like, xdcrOptimisticReplicationThreshold and xdcrMaxConcurrentReps. It appears to get in sync quicker, but it still takes 4 to 5 minutes and that is way too long.
For my application I need instant replication between 2 CB instances.
Please provide some hints towards a solution.

Do you mean that you have only a 1 node cluster on both sides?
what kind of hardware are you running these on? What is your front end workload?
If you want high availability you need to use intra cluster replication. If you have more than 1 nodes, you can set the intra cluster replication to 1 and it will create a replica copy for you. You can manually failover a node to promote the replicas to active.
If you are looking for disaster recovery, you can use XDCR, but XDCR is a heavier operation and requires a minimum of 3 nodes. It works on a per partition basis and by default has 32 streams it uses. These streams round robin across the 1024 vBuckets. It is uses data that is persisted to disk, meaning that you have to wait for data to persist to disk and it will then get picked up by the XDCR engine.
XDCR can be done in seconds if not milliseconds depending on various factors. Hope this helps explain how XDCR works.

What's Your Super Bowl Game Plan?
Super Bowl Sunday is just a few days out. Whether you'll be watching the afternoon's broadcast for the commercials (TV advertisers spend serious bucks for spots in this program), the half-time show (will your favorite artist be performing?), or the game itself (you want to see these teams duke it out!), the question is whether to go to someone else's Super Bowl party or to throw your own.
If you're the type who likes to host the party, then you're also the type who knows how to take care of your guests. Go beyond the standard spread for a regular season game. This is the Super Bowl – there's no need to hold back.
Some ideas for food and beyond:
- Chicken wings, potato skins, seven layer dip, vegetable trays… Hungry yet?
- Beer, beer, and more beer… Save money and just get a keg. You know you want to.
- Revive a tailgating game, space permitting. Cornhole, anyone? Ladder ball?
- Splurge on that nacho cheese fountain that you couldn't justify getting during the season…
Your Super Bowl party doesn't have to cost you an arm and a leg. Split the cost with your friends with a Crowdtilt campaign. Even better, ask for a few bucks more and get the keg, upgrade to the 6-foot sandwich platter, or – best of all – build this epic food stadium. Now those are the ingredients for an epic Super Bowl Party!
