Struggling Acer Takes A Stab At Selling Home Cinema Projectors
By David Richards | Sunday | 10/03/2013
After failing in the smartphone market, Acer, who is also struggling in the PC market, is now taking a stab at the home cinema market in direct competition with BenQ and Epson.
In a move aimed at trying to grab market share wherever they can, Acer has launched two new 3D projectors despite consumers turning off 3D in favour of high quality TV displays.
The Taiwanese Company said their patented image technology found inside the new H6510BD delivers exceptional image quality, high brightness and superior colour reproduction for less than $1000.
David Sunton, General Manager of Marketing at Acer Australia said in a press release that when connected to a 120Hz source, the Acer H6510BD is capable of producing flicker-free 3D images by utilising active shutter DLP Link 3D glasses to sync the image at 60 frames per second.
The only problem in Australia is that users are not able to connect to a 120Hz source as the most common source is 100Hz or 200Hz.
The projectors also have real-time 2D-to-3D conversion capabilities. This allows any 2D source, such as Blu-ray movies, DVDs and broadcast TV to become 3D, simply by turning on the 2D to 3D converter in the on-screen menu.

What are Seizures?
A seizure is a condition that occurs when the electrical system of the brain malfunctions. When the brain functions normally, a multitude of tiny electrical signals are produced by the nerve cells of the brain and other parts of the body. With a seizure there is a short, temporary disturbance within the electrical system of the brain – like when a power outage occurs and the electricity switches off.
Seizures cause uncontrollable changes in body movements, behavior, awareness or sensation. Before a seizure occurs, there may be warning signs known as an aura – unusual smells, tastes or sensations.
After a seizure has occurred, the person will often experience after effects such as a headache, confusion, fatigue, sore muscles and unusual sensations - this is called the postictal state. When seizures recur, the condition is known as epilepsy.
The symptoms and signs of a seizure
- Group of muscles contract suddenly and involuntary
- Numbness of part of the body
- Brief memory loss
- Strange sensations
- Experiencing a sensation of fear
- Seeing flashes or sparks
Types of Seizures
Seizures may occur in only one region of the brain and is called a partial seizure. There are different types of partial seizures – simple partial seizure and complex partial seizure.
- During a simple partial seizure, the person may experience strange sensations but remains conscious.
- In a complex partial seizure, the person may lose consciousness, and this change in consciousness may be like a dreamlike experience.
If a seizure affects many regions of the brain, it is called a generalized seizure or a grand mal seizure, fit or convulsion. This type of seizure commonly causes the person to collapse, lose consciousness or experience severe muscle spasms. It may be accompanied by excessive salivation, vomiting, loss of bladder and bowel control.
Generalized seizures are also categorized into various types and include:
- Absence or petit mal seizures – the person may experience a short period of impaired consciousness, followed by staring into space and perhaps mild twitching of muscle groups
- Focal motor seizure – repeated twitching movements in the face or limbs
- Tonic seizures – the muscles of the body stiffen and pull tight, particularly in the legs, arms and back
- Clonic seizure – repeated jerking movements occur on both sides of the body
- Tonic – clonic seizure – a combination of symptoms, which includes loss of consciousness, stiffening of the body and repeated jerks of the arms and/or legs

Scares Delay, Divert Six US-Linked Flights
Six flights were searched, evacuated, or diverted yesterday in security-related scares during a chaotic day in the skies.
Six flights were searched, evacuated, or diverted yesterday in security-related scares during a chaotic day in the skies, leaving many passengers fretting that such sudden and drastic precautionary measures have become an inevitable fixture of air travel.
Authorities said the occurrences all on flights either departing or arriving in US cities were not linked in any way. They said five of the six scares had no connection to terrorism.
The one unresolved case involved an American Airlines Boeing 767 en route from Manchester, England, to Chicago that was diverted to Bangor at about 1 p.m. after an unspecified threat to the flight was reported.
Federal security officials refused to characterize the threat yesterday. A Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman said only that the flight was diverted for "security reasons." Those on board said a male passenger was handcuffed and taken away in a police car.
The 166 other passengers and 12 crew members left for Chicago about 9 p.m.
The day of in-flight tensions occurred two weeks after a foiled terrorist plot in England prompted heightened security at airports and on planes, including a new prohibition of carrying on a plane containers holding liquids.
The alleged British plot was the latest in a series of scares after the Sept, 11, 2001, attacks that have created fluctuating levels of security over the last five years, with a spike in flight diversions typically occurring after each scare, said security specialists.
"I think we're in a highly sensitized state about security issues," said David Stempler, president of the Air Travelers Association, a passenger advocacy group. "This is more likely to become the new normal. It's just part of traveling. That's what we're going to have to deal with."
He said that post-9/11 logic dictated that airlines react to even hints of threats. "Better to be safe than sorry, and in this case sorry means losing a whole plane full of people," he said. "So we better be safe."
Last week, a 59-year-old Vermont woman's erratic behavior on a trans-Atlantic flight led to its diversion to Logan International Airport. She was arrested and charged with interfering with the flight crew, though her lawyer said the woman's outbursts were prompted by mental problems.
Yesterday's tally of six incidents appeared to mark a new single-day high of activity. While authorities were still investigating whether there was any terrorism link to the Bangor diversion, they concluded the others were not:
In Houston, baggage screeners found a stick of dynamite in the bag of college student Howard McFarland Fish, 21, who was arriving on a Continental Airlines flight from Argentina. As passengers were going through immigration, baggage was being inspected before the plane flew on to its final destination, Newark. The Lafayette College student told authorities he worked with explosives in the mining industry, and they were investigating.
Authorities diverted a US Airways jet headed from Phoenix to Charlotte, N.C., to Oklahoma City after a federal air marshal had to subdue a disruptive passenger who pushed a flight attendant, according to the FBI.
A Continental Airlines flight from Corpus Christi, Texas, to Bakersfield, Calif., was delayed and searched in El Paso, one of its scheduled stops, after the crew discovered a missing panel in a lavatory, authorities said.
A utility knife was found on a vacant passenger seat of a US Airways flight traveling from Philadelphia to Bradley International Airport in Connecticut, prompting state troopers to search the plane and interview passengers.
An Aer Lingus flight from New York to Dublin was evacuated during a scheduled stopover in western Ireland, following a bomb threat that turned out to be unfounded, officials said.
Representatives of US airlines said that security concerns required flight crews to err on the side of caution when evaluating whether to divert or delay a flight.

Madrid hoping Ancelotti can be their 'discreet winner'
Carlo Ancelotti, "a discreet winner". That was the welcome for the Italian by Spanish sports newspaper Marca after he was confirmed, at long last, as Real Madrid's new manager on Tuesday.
Discreet, for all Ancelotti's qualities, and they are numerous and world class, is a quality that will no doubt have been high up on president Florentino Perez's tick list when looking for Jose Mourinho's successor at the Santiago Bernabeu.
- Ancelotti confirmed as Real boss
Two Champions League triumphs, league titles and cups in Italy, England and France, and a Club World Cup, amongst plenty of other team and individual honours, would have caught the eye of Perez and Madrid when they first started to weigh up who would replace the 'Special One'. Of course they would. Ancelotti's track record puts him up alongside the best managers in world football -- and over a long period too -- giving him plenty of experience.
Unlike Mourinho, however, Ancelotti suits Madrid down to the ground. He's as close as they come to the perfect package for the manager's hot seat at the Bernabeu, if there is such a thing.
With the Portuguese you got arguably a more impressive trophy record, given the amount of time he accumulated his silverware collection, but with it came mind games in the media and an "us against the world mentality". Great if it works -- see Chelsea and Inter Milan -- but a failure when it doesn't -- see his final, trophy-less (with the exception of the low-key Spanish Super cup) season.
You got a manager who liked to do things his way. Perez and Madrid had to make sacrifices. Not just in staff, but with some of the club's reputation, too. The mud-slinging in the Clasico matches, which came from both sides, was unpleasant for those high up at Madrid (and indeed some not so high up), the bars toward match officials. These things did not sit comfortably with Perez, but he almost accepted them in search of success under Mourinho.
With all this added to the melting pot of Mourinho falling out with key, influential figures such as goalkeeper Iker Casillas and Sergio Ramos (heck, half of the Madrid team), it makes perfect sense for Madrid to opt for a manager who is seen as more diplomatic and less, shall we say, erratic.
Last season was one long nightmare for Madridistas. Given the success of the previous campaign, with Mourinho leading Los Blancos to reclaim La Liga from Barcelona in such scintillating fashion, the 2012-13 season could not have been more of a contrast. La Liga was over before Spring had even sprung, Madrid were outplayed by Borussia Dortmund in the last-four of the Champions League, and a Copa del Rey final defeat against neighbours Atletico, at the Bernabeu, rubbed plenty of salt into the wounds.
Ancelotti's appointment represents a clean break from all that. Expect less, if any, of the barbs. Expect less excuses, fewer rifts within the squad, less eye poking, and a lot more calmness, relatively, around the Bernabeu next season.
That's just the tip of the Ancelotti iceberg, a tip that suits Madrid. Below that, he has a fantastic record around Europe, has twice won the Champions League -- a competition Madrid are desperate to taste success in again -- has the experience of managing, and winning titles in, three different countries.
The Italian has managed under difficult circumstances, too, and although his arrival in Madrid does represent a clean break, the capital club is still a club that is unique, and one that can swallow up even the biggest of managers -- just ask Jose. Ancelotti's success at Chelsea came under the stewardship of Roman Abramovich while his time at Milan came with Silvio Berlusconi pulling the strings. He should slip into the Madrid drama no problem, then.
He should also be arriving at the perfect age. At 54, Ancelotti has been around long enough to be known as one of the world's best and most experienced bosses, but is still young enough to be able to adapt to new systems and formations, despite regularly using his more preferred 4-3-2-1 approach. That's not to stay he won't stick with Madrid's recent 4-2-3-1 model, however.
The only thing not discreet about the whole story is Ancelotti's arrival. Madrid had been waiting almost a month to appoint Mourinho's successor and everyone, just about, knew it was going to be the Italian. Now, the official announcement could ensure some more official announcements on just who Ancelotti, and his staff, will be adding to the squad.
Welcome to the Bernabeu, Carlo.

Shaw picked as new Kendall County Board chairman
By Steve Lord firstname.lastname@example.com December 4, 2012 2:56PM
Kendall County Board Chairman John Shaw
Updated: January 6, 2013 9:52AM
YORKVILLE — It took the new Kendall County Board about five minutes to elect John Shaw as its new chairman.
Shaw, 74, was just re-elected in November to his second term on the board. The Yorkville area Republican has served as the Lisbon Township Clerk, and on the Lisbon-Seward Fire Protection District board.
Shortly after all 10 board members were sworn in during a short ceremony at the Historic Kendall County Courthouse, eight of them voted for Shaw as the new board leader. Voting against Shaw were incumbent board Chairman John Purcell, and board member Jeff Wehrli, who had nominated Purcell for another stint as chairman.
Voting for Shaw were board veterans Elizabeth Flowers, Dan Koukol and Shaw himself, and the five newcomers to the board, Scott Gryder, Amy Cesich, Lynn Cullick, Judy Gilmour and Matt Prochaska.
The election for chairman was in stark contrast to two years ago, when it took about four hours, numerous ballots and several private meetings between board members to elect a chairman.
The board also held a drawing to determine which members would get two-year terms and which would get four-year terms. There were two two-year terms in the 2nd District and three two-year terms in the 1st District.
Selection was done by County Clerk Debbie Gillette, who dropped ping pong balls with the names of board members into a clear container, and randomly selecting them.
In the 1st District, Purcell and Shaw each drew four-year terms, and Cesich, Gilmour and Prochaska drew two-year terms.
In the 2nd District, Wehrli, Koukol and Flowers drew four-year terms, and Cullick and Gryder drew two-year terms.
Other officers elected included: Gilmour as board vice chairman; Wehrli as president of the Forest Preserve District, a position he already held; Cullick as Forest Preserve District vice president; and Flowers as Forest Preserve secretary.

Kay said Wednesday night that two candidates visiting this week will visit the campus and meet the school community for what he said is part of the ongoing search for a new president.
"It's still in the early stages, but we've talked to several people," Kay said. "We're excited about the possibilities of this search."
Kay declined to provide further information, such as candidates' names, but said the board will announce its selection at the end of the process.
Hurd started working for Donoho in 2000 as a principal, having previously been superintendent of Anniston public schools. Three years later she became Donoho's president.
Donoho's website states that the private college preparatory school will seek a candidate who will maintain its academic standards, excel in managing the various components of a school, help teachers use technology to enhance education, increase enrollment and work with integrity.
The Donoho School's president fulfills administrative duties similar to those of superintendents in public school systems. The president will manage the school's $3.1 million budget, oversee capital development and oversee Donoho staff, the website states.
The new president will be responsible for completing a strategic plan for the school, helping Donoho reach its enrollment goal of 425 students, developing the school's philanthropic base and developing the school's technology initiative, through which it has issued iPads to students in grades four through 12, according to information on the school's website.
Children in pre-K through 12th grade attend the private school, which is on Henry Road in Anniston. It has upper, lower and middle divisions.
Donoho's campus includes three academic buildings, athletic facilities and computer and science labs. The 50-year-old school is in the midst of a fundraising campaign to pay for new construction and technology upgrades.

Absolutely horrible! The entire place was FILTHY! I nearly lost my appetite when I had to use the restroom to wash my hands before eating due to how dirty it was in there and how terrible it smelled. When we got to our table, it was covered in grease like they hadn't even bothered to wipe it. There was food and trash all over the floor and half of the people in there looked like they hadn't showered in a month. It was also freezing in there and I could've sworn they had the air conditioning on (it was 20 degrees outside!). I think they try to make the place as cold as possible so that you don't stay very long and eat all of their crappy food. AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS!
its 50% to 50% – I find it can be awfull and sometimes very good. But it seems that breakfast is always a disappointment with powder white gravy and strange tasting chicken fried steak. It always seems to taste old and overly processed from mixes no real flavor and of course no green chilli. The omeletts are not really omeletts to me just a over cooked scrambled egg with your filling in it. I grew up eating Scandinavian style eggs I have high standards yes, but these do not even resemble a omelette.
The dinner menu salad bar is very good with so many choice and dressings. I like the taco bar and baked potato bar. The soups can be scary at times tasting old and under spiced. The desserts can be good with a fairly good cup of coffee. But, the entrees are definately not up to par to me. The mashpotatos can be runny which shows a definate instant aspect to them. The roasts either beef or pork can be pretty good but the steaks are very full of grissle and the chicken can be greasy with little flavor. The price is pretty good but would pay more just to increase quality and more of a scratch aspect to the cooking.
Awesome, awesome, awesome. – I love coming here. It gets pretty packed and there are lines all the way outside some nights. You gotta get there early or at least the least likely night it's gonna be packed.
It's incredibly easy to find, located near a gas station and walmart.
The staff is friendly, attentive. The selections are awesome and the salad bar is great too! They have open kitchens where the cooks cook and prepare in the open where the patrons can see them. I love this because you can see that they are professional and not just heating up giant tv dinners like I suspect Country Buffet of doing. They are family friendly. They offer FREE meals on Veteran's Day for our vets and troops that I give them props for.

Whitby Abbey
The ruins of Whitby Abbey, perched high on the East Cliff of the seaside town of Whitby, are visible from almost anywhere in town. Historically and religiously, Whitby Abbey has a lot to brag about: it was the home of a Saxon saint and a place of pilgrimage; it was the site of a 7th-century council that set the date of Easter for Britain; and it was the setting for Bram Stoker's Dracula.
The abbey that still (mostly) stands dates from the 12th century, but lies near the site of a 7th-century Saxon monastery. Caedmon, the first identifiable English-language poet, was a monk here. It was on this site in 664 AD that it was decided to follow the Roman Catholic church instead of the Celtic Church with regard to the date of Easter.
The first abbey was founded in 657 by the formidable St Hilda, a princess of the Northumbrian royal house, whose Saxon name means "battle." Recent archaeological research undertaken by English Heritage suggests that it was once a bustling settlement as well as the burial place of monarchs.
The Saxon abbey was destroyed during a Viking invasion in 867, but one of William the Conqueror's knights refounded it in the late 1070s as a Benedictine abbey. By 1220, his Norman church proved inadequate for the many pilgrims, and the building of the present abbey church began.
After its dissolution by Henry VIII in 1538, the abbey did not suffer as much destruction as many other monasteries, for it was (and still is) used by shipping as a navigation marker. The site eventually passed to the Cholmley family, who built a mansion nearby largely out of materials plundered from the monastery.
What to See
The clifftop ruins of Whitby Abbey consist primarily of a grand roofless nave, soaring south transept and lancents of the east end of the abbey church. None of the monastic buildings remain. On the east side of the ruins are Saxon tombstones lying in a shallow ditch where they were found.
The visitor's center houses archaeological material excavated at Whitby, as well as computer-generated images revealing how the headland has changed over time. Rich finds from the Anglo-Saxon and medieval abbeys are also exhibited, together with objects relating to the Cholmley family.
Spectacular audio-visual displays recreate the medieval abbey and the 17th-century house, its interiors and gardens. Visitors can also gain an insight into the people who have lived in Whitby, from St Hilda to Bram Stoker, author of Dracula.

Issue #1: Escape from Jekyll Island
In the debut issue, Lex and Cal take a trip to Jekyll Island circa 1913 – the birthplace of the Federal Reserve. Here they must fight off hordes of sheeple as they uncover the plans of Alexander Graham Bell, JP Morgan, William Rockefeller, and other elites.
Issue #2: Disorder of Skull & Bones
Lex and Cal travel back in time and break up a Skull & Bones ritual in the Tomb at Yale. Meanwhile, Carmot and Vodnar try to rescue the brothers from the W.I.L.D. Machine. Luna makes a cameo appearance, and Colonel's plans for her are revealed.
Issue #3: Dignity Colony
Dr. Percival Vodnar recounts the early days of Lex, Cal, and Luna–all mind control victims from a facility in Dignity Colony, Chile. The truth is also revealed about an assault on the global population through public education and water fluoridation by "The Council."
Issue #4: Blowing Out the Candle
Luna unlocks the true power of the Montauk Chair at Camp Hero, and discovers a greater purpose. Meanwhile, Cal deciphers a message from the sixth dimension, Lex climbs the Washington Monument, and Dr. Vodnar shows off his Tesla tattoo.
(limited supply, get 'em while they last!)
To say Lex has a problem with authority would be an understatement. Hot-headed, arrogant, and a bit of a pugilist that's quick to shoot first and ask questions later. He acts as a catalyst, and usually not at the perfect time, either.
Standing with a bit of a lean, and constantly engulfed in a cloud of peculiar smelling smoke, Cal is almost the exact opposite as Lex in both looks and attitude. The blend in Cal's pipe is specially created to keep him both focused and relaxed at the same time.
Trying to pin down Luna's personality can be tricky, since she has so many of them. Literally. Raised at Dignity Colony, Luna was the child prodigy of the mind-control program, and as sweet as she may look, she's a cold blooded killer when activated.
This guy is probably the only true friend Lex and Cal have in the world. As the owner of a local pawn shop, Carmot comes in very useful when the brothers need to find obscure antiques, occult artifacts, vintage music equipment, and of course, rare vinyl.
Dr. Vodnar
A good man tied up in a very bad situation. He's been working for the Council for longer than some of its members have even been alive. With the help of his two students that he treats like his own sons, they are working to take down the global elite.
Col. Zarota
Trained by most notorious and prestigious of biochemists, psychiatrists, and occult magicians, Colonel is the active hand of the true rulers of the world. Some call them Illuminati, some call them The Council. He just calls them his superiors.
The Council
Known by many different names throughout history – The Black Nobility, Olympians, the Illuminati, Moriah Conquering Wind, and many others. Today, they are simply called "The Council." They run the entire world both in public, and behind the scenes.
A freak experiment created by Alexander Graham Bell's research into genetics, Sheeple are unfortunate creatures which are half sheep, half people. They are kept secret from the public, but exist in all sorts of strange places across the world.

Back in August 2012, we brought out the first spy shots of the next generation Smart Fortwo and now we have proof that the company is also working on the new generation ForFour. A test mule for the car has just been spotted testing for the first time.
The new ForFour will actually be a four-door version of the next ForTwo and will be offered with both rear engine and rear-wheel-drive layout. The model will be built on the same platform as the new Renault Twingo - a platform that will most likely be used for a small Nissan city car. It is believed that the next two models will borrow some of the design cues seen on the Smart Forstars Concept unveiled at the 2012 Paris Auto Show.
Expect the Smart ForTwo to be the first of the two vehicles to hit the market in 2014, with the ForFour coming in 2015. The production of the two models, however, will be done simultaneously.

Over the past decades, and not surprisingly together with the introduction and growth of the Internet, the behavior of the radio amateurs on the bands has significantly deteriorated. In 2008 John ON4UN and Mark ON4WW wrote a comprehensive document entitled "Ethics and Operating Procedures for the Radio Amateur", document aiming to become a universal guide for newcomers and old-timers alike on the subject of operating ethics and operating procedures. In 2008 this document was accepted by the IARU AC (Administrative Council, the highest body of the IARU) as representing the point of view of the IARU on the subject. During further regional IARU meetings it was emphasized that the document be made available via all means, and at no cost, in as many languages as possible to the ham radio fraternity.
Two years later the document has been translated in more than 25 languages, with more coming. In some countries the document is also offered in printed format and a large number of amateur radio sites have a link to the document on their site, be it in English or in the local language(s). Our most sincere thanks go to all our friends who spent hundreds of hours to take care of these translations.

Dear Miss White,
Great news: The guy I liked during all 4 years of college is into me. The thing is, I'm just not that into him anymore. He's great, but not the guy I fell for anymore. He had a girlfriend all throughout college, and we hooked up within a month of their breaking up, and a lot since then. I'm dating around, but when we're out together, he'll make a move, even if I'm there with another guy! But I just can't imagine turning down someone who I crushed on for soooo long, even though I otherwise think I'm over it. What's a girl to do?
-(Not?) Over Prince Charming
WELCOME. Welcome to my world. Really though, you should feel comforted by the fact that, young ladies/women from all walks of life can relate to your situation. Normally I hate when people use the phrase "we've all been there" because it sounds like an auto-response to a far more complex issue, but I'm making an exception today. Girl–we have ALL been there.

Last month, after Florida's writing scores plummeted following the raising of "standards," I called for a moratorium of the FCAT. It's time to retire this torture device to the dungeon of bad ideas masquerading as accountability. Do you know what a 3 means on the FCAT Writes test? A 4?
Do you know what a score of 3 or 4 meant last year? Or what it will mean next year? Nobody does. But the fact that the scoring of these 45 minute first draft essays "raised the standards" is taken as a sign that the scoring itself met some kind of basic standard in validity and reliability. Except that it didn't.
Many who say that our students should know grammar and spelling are pursing their lips in disapproval of our teachers' instruction. I hear disapproval from those who last wrote an essay forty years ago. Since then, they have written short texts and emails without a care for punctuation, spelling, or grammar. LOL! I myself, a moderately good speller, am typing while my iPad corrects errors as I go. Typo or lack of knowledge? I'll never tell!
Yet one day in March, our students sit down with a pencil and a piece of paper and are told, "Write an essay! BTW, one point off for every misspelled word."
Those who think the FCAT means something about a student's understanding of content are sadly mistaken. The math portions are often out of sequence of instruction. It is wrong to test students on material in which they have yet to have received instruction.
As for FCAT Reading, all the hodgepodge of strategies taught will not advance our students' understanding unless they learn content. Reading comprehension takes place as students study content. You remember content, don't you? Science. History. Geography. Literature.
Content instruction requires students to write essays on topics that test their understanding of the content area. And yes, our students' handwriting is deplorable because they use the technology of their time, which corrects spelling and grammar as they write.
But that is not what Florida's FCAT is all about. It's a state test that doesn't inform of us of how our students perform on a national platform. It takes weeks of time from instruction with a number of interim assessments required, often as frequently as every 3 weeks. It promotes strategies over content instruction.
And when millions of our tax dollars disappear into the coffers of the test makers, they are not held accountable when the scores don't come back on time or accurately. Instead, our state punishes our students and teachers on the basis of their FCAT scores while forking over millions of dollars to the brothers and in-laws and assorted family friends of politicians and governors.
It's time to call a halt to the FCAT. As Florida works to implement Common Core Standards with tests that show how students perform throughout the nation, we should save the millions of dollars wasted on the FCAT to reinvest in our public schools. We should use this money to provide a comprehensive education to all our students that includes physical education, the arts, music, and enhanced vocational-technical programs. These are the steps in education that provide our students the necessary skills and learning that lead to their success in work and life.
The United Teachers of Dade represents 35,000 teachers and school support personnel in MDCPS. The union is committed to being a leader in creating public school reform, fostering a quality public education for all students and elevating the professional status of teachers, paraprofessionals, office employees, and all school support personnel.

you have never been better, clearer, or more on point than you are here.
Hey Karen, why not put our money where our mouth is and call a STRIKE against the FCAT. I'm not suggesting work stoppage, but mass refusal to administer the tests. teachers can make our own tests that are a heck of a lot more valid.
I am completely agree with this response. Bravo!!!
BRILLIANT!!! How do you get the superintendents, school boards, region beaurocrats, principals, et.al. on board?
For years I've said that I would love to be in the first school that stands up and says "We're not having your silly test this year. Thanks, but no thanks." One can dream . . .
I am a faithful unoin member, and yet I can't quite agree with Karen. FCAT or Common Core Test, or whatever test, if a student knows the subject he should be able to pass. If a students didn't pass the test he should never be promoted to the next level. And yes, shame on me, an old-fashioned teacher, I believe that spelling counts. Granted, there is a lot wrong with the FCAT, teacher evaluation, school grading system, endless interim assesments, etc. But the tests themselves are very basic, they can't stand any comparison to the tests/assessments administered – in some form or another- to the students overseas. And, honestly, the content that we teach is also very basic. The causes of our educational woes are MUCH more complicated than just controversial testing.
Well said! What happened to teaching grammar and spelling. Students who are learning a foreign language are required to learn the grammar for that language. Why this is not true for learning English….?Reading is improved by reading and not by drawing pictures with endless verbal discussions. Let the kids read and then write their opinions. This approach while old fashion worked in the past. Technology is fine but should not be ruling our lives. Just like video games are making our kids fatter because of lack of exercise, the mind also needs work and so thus the hands….
Karen you will do anything to try and muster up some votes for the future!!!! People still know you are doing a lousy job.
Karen most parents, teachers and students would agree with this FCAT madness. The reasons we have this madness has to do with the $$$ being profited by a group of individuals. Simple as that.
Dear teachers, PLEASE check your grammar and spelling before posting your comments. It is embarrasing!!! How can we trust the tests made by teachers ( see Joshua's comment), if teachers can't write properly? One of the reasons we fail the FCAT is – like it or not – the quality of the instruction, that is teacher quality. Let's be honest.
If corporate crazy-makers can create chaos "on the ground" in schools, among teachers and union members who finger-point and criticize each other, they will have succeeded in creating some of the necessary distractions for continuing their profit making goals. The education system needs improvements. FCAT is not the way.
Amen, amen, amen.
"teacher" – To exactly what grammatical errors are you referring? Just as there is a big difference between on-line posts and professional writing such as test construction, there is also a world of difference between an actual grammatical error and a type-o. Unless you'd also like to be taken to task for your membership in a "unoin," please refrain from indiscriminate bashing of other teachers for their grammar and spelling.
If you have something to say about a specific colleague, that's your prerogative. However, an amorphous blanket statement against other people's "quality" says a lot less about them than it does about you.
Dear teacher b4 u point fingers, u should check urself 1st. Take notice to ur 3rd sentence u clearly made a mistake it's not "if a students" instead it should b " if a student or if students". FOOD 4 THOUGHT # no one is perfect:)
To Joshua: Yes, I agree that there is a world of difference between a grammatical error and a typO (!), but this is not what I was talking about. By the way, English is my third language, not even second, and yet I still make an effort to use grammar and spelling correctly, even though I teach math. To make it clear, I wasn't speaking about typos, but rather about the quality of our instruction – in the language arts too, but mostly in math. You may choose not to believe me but often times it is just a disaster when a teacher who majored in liberal arts is now teaching math. I have seen too many teachers who know very little math and still "teach" it.
Karen, No matter what they say about Unions, the clarity of this letter reaffirms that we can NOT let the politicians take our Unions away. I am an Art teacher who is about to have 50% of his annual evaluation judged on how my 3-5 graders did on FCAT reading.
Why do we need FCAT when we have Interim Assessments (and ETO Interim Assessments) 4 times a year which show more data than the FCAT could ever produce?
Jim, I totally agree. I am an Elementary music teacher who is totally fed up with this experimental and unfair evaluation system. It simply makes no sense at all. I can already foresee many awesome teachers leaving (or transferring) out of the public school system if they can.
Thank you, Karen for articulating much of what contributes to low student morale and the demoralization of teachers called to educate our state's youth. Ever since Jeb Bush began his false accountability and public humiliation/grading, I have been waiting for accountability of all other sectors impacting student and state achievement. They have not been forthcoming. That is further evidence that an "A+ Plan" was really about siphoning resources from public school classroom instruction. State monies must be re-assigned to the constitutional mandate to provide high-quality public education in this state in the comprehensive way Karen writes about in her last paragraph.
I think that students should know and learn the mechanics of the English language. These things help students to become better writers and readers. They are the basis and building blocks to helping children with reading comprehension, proper grammar, spelling and punctuation usage. Computers should be to help fine tune the above things, but not take the place of a classroom teacher. Virtual School is another area that should be look into, to see how affective it is. Students should not be allowed to work at their own pace with a virtual school class, because some students are not discipline enough to stay on task and they end up failing the class because there are no dateline dates when assignments are due, and they are great procastnators. which puts them behind.

Read up-to-date job search information about who's hiring, career paths, and how to get the job offer, written by
Even after the shakeout in the hedge-fund industry that started in 2008 and continued
into 2009 -- a turbulent period during which thousands of funds closed and hundreds more
were left hobbled -- hedge funds continue to be a destination of choice in 2010 for Wall
Street traders, dealmakers and even finance-focused lawyers seeking an alternative forum
for their talents. Far less constrained than mutual funds, hedge funds have reaped huge
gains this past decade by borrowing vast amounts of money to amplify their bets, making
millions for themselves and their clients frequently while taking on greater risks than
those assumed by funds catering to less-wealthy investors. The hedge-fund industry is
most heavily concentrated in the U.S. but also has a large presence in London, and
offshore administrative, tax and legal work support offices in places like Bermuda
and the Cayman Islands.
Hedge funds challenge simple definition, and in many ways mirror some of the most
successful of Wall Street's proprietary-trading operations, where bank-hired traders
and portfolio managers invest banks' own capital where they see market opportunities.
Hedge-fund investors must meet minimum wealth requirements, limiting access to well-to-do
individuals and deep-pocketed institutions such as endowments, foundations and pension
funds. They trade everything from stocks, bonds and currencies to gold, agricultural
commodities and more-exotic derivative securities. Some try to make money by issuing
loans to businesses that banks won't touch; their researchers dig into companies going
through mergers and sort through the havoc of bankruptcy courts to pick winners and losers.
They've vacuumed up analysts and traders from Wall Street during the past decade,
giving the private funds a collective edge over more-accessible investment vehicles.
Hedge-fund managers typically pay higher salaries while expecting greater returns. In
2008 and 2009, talent flowed both ways between hedge funds and Wall Street, as trading
desks closed and teams -- including many in Asia and Europe -- were shut down, sending
investors looking for seats elsewhere.
Hedge-fund performance overall bounced back strongly in 2009 following widespread
losses in 2008. Last year, the average fund gained about 20% on investment returns after
diving 19% in 2008, when the value of holdings plummeted amid market upheaval and bank
catastrophes, according to data from Hedge Fund Research Inc. Many managers spent much
of last year digging out of those losses. During their recovery period, funds in general
were selective in hiring. Then last year, the "help wanted" message strengthened, and
fund managers, recruiters and other industry insiders expect the more resilient funds to
continue drawing talent from weaker rivals in 2010.
Hiring experts anticipate a busy 2010, with the job churn picking up as the year
progresses, especially if money flows back into hedge funds as expected.
"There's a lot of people leaving some of the previously more-stable funds that had
investor withdrawals and have put a lot of money aside to meet redemptions," says Gustavo
Dolfino, a senior managing director at recruiting firm Accretive Solutions.
Claude Schwab, partner at recruiting firm Heidrick & Struggles and head of its U.S.
hedge-fund practice, notes that the shakeout that started during the credit crisis isn't
over. "In Q1, we're still going to see funds shut down," he says, particularly in the
more-vulnerable fund population below $1.5 billion or $1 billion in assets.
Funds that specialize in fixed-income securities such as bonds and preferred stock
have continued to add analysts, traders and portfolio managers as they roam the globe
finding investing opportunities. Existing U.S. and European managers are opening Asia
offices -- especially in Hong Kong and to a lesser degree Australia -- and China fund
launches have picked up. As was the case in 2009, firms specializing in distressed credit
-- especially credit-default swaps, bank loans and commercial mortgage-backed securities
-- are building their ranks. Specialists in securitized loans are getting calls from hedge
funds looking to add to these holdings.
Hedge funds are key players in structured loans to troubled companies, and the investors
are active in bankruptcy proceedings when the companies falter. Funds specializing in
macro-driven themes (interest rates, currencies and economic-trend investments), plus
stock-picking and high-frequency trading funds have been adding investment professionals,
in addition to the credit-focused funds.
Not surprisingly, the spate of investment frauds, most notably the multi-billion-dollar
Ponzi scheme by Bernard Madoff revealed in December 2008, prompted hedge funds to staff up
in areas of risk management and compliance, and those areas remain active for hiring going
into 2010. Smaller and medium-sized funds have had to add dedicated staffing in those areas
in order to attract investors.
Moreover, many survivors of the crisis cut back-office and administrative staffs during
the lean times. Hedge funds managing $1 billion of more in assets cut operations and
administrative staffing to about 17 full-time employees, on average, last year from 22
full-timers in 2008, according to research firm Greenwich Associates.
As money flows back in, search specialists expect a revamping in those areas.
Marketing and investor-relations areas also are seeing a continued influx, several
search experts say. London-based offices of U.S. and European funds are hiring marketers,
says Heidrick & Struggles.
There is no hard-and-fast career path leading to hedge funds. Many traders and portfolio
managers typically have come from Wall Street firms. But many also emerged from university
graduate schools with economics, math or physics PhDs or worked in law firms. Graduate
business schools have supplied thousands of entry-level analysts and researchers in recent
years, who have expected to earn a baseline salary of $150,000 to $200,000 right out of
school, plus bonuses based on fund profits and assets under management.
Paychecks shrank as funds sustained widespread losses, and they haven't bounced back to
pre-crisis levels at still-hobbled funds. Many hedge-fund executives dug into their own pockets
to pay bonuses or otherwise risked losing talent. As hiring has picked back up, base salaries
have stayed pretty steady, payment experts say. Most portfolio managers who landed new jobs
last year got base salaries similar to 2008 levels, of $150,000-$300,000 with expected payouts
commonly at 15% of the P&L -- or investment-portfolio profits -- says Heidrick & Struggles.
Guaranteed bonuses are typically reserved for a minority of sought-after portfolio managers.
Some cash-strapped fund managers have been paying "ghost shares," basically IOUs for a
payout down the road if the fund returns to profitability, a sign of creative compensation
tactics, says John Pierson, who runs New York hedge-fund recruiting firm 10X Partners.
As average pay stalled during the crisis, some hedge-fund investment pros left the industry
for other opportunities. There was a pick-up in hiring of hedge-fund talent by the U.S.
Securities & Exchange Commission, Heidrick & Struggles notes. Sovereign-wealth funds in China
and elsewhere also picked off talent, as did endowments and foundations.
Breaking into hedge funds became harder during the credit crisis, but the job market shows
signs of loosening. In recent years, business schools churned out graduates looking for a piece
of the rich hedge-fund pie. Wall Street traders hopped to funds in search of a more-entrepreneurial
workplace and a chance at bigger paychecks. Such ambitions remain.
Now for some practical points. Hiring experts say would-be candidates can do some prepping to
get an edge over the competition, such as by obtaining a Chartered Financial Analyst or Chartered
Alternative Investment Analyst designation, each of which takes some time, studying and exam-taking.
Both programs dive deeply into the how-to's of balance sheets and debt transactions and are seen
as a good overview for understanding the markets and financial system.
One way through the door when jobs are scarce can be an internship. These days, some entry-level
applicants are offering to work for free. Similarly, a lot of traders are considered more or less
on probation until they prove they can make money, or at least not lose more than their peers in
comparable trades.
Whatever job you're aiming for, do your homework. Know what's involved in compliance and
risk-management jobs; know the difference between hedge-fund strategies, because "hedge fund" is
only a loose definition for a private investment partnership -- it doesn't describe what securities
a firm trades, whether it does rapid-fire trading or does longer-term, private-equity-style deals.
Be ready to answer impromptu questions, such as brain teasers, designed to gauge how well you
think on your feet, react to stress and weave your way out of a puzzler. Some big hedge funds such
as D.E. Shaw & Co. LP, home to an army of quants and scientists, are known to throw puzzle after
puzzle at applicants through multiple interviews, culling the pile of candidates with each round.
Investment-job candidates might be asked for ideas on how they would tackle a certain market
opportunity or react to a certain level of losses in a portfolio.
Even if you're looking to do nothing but trade stocks or commodities, it pays to understand
how a hedge fund works as a business: What the legal and regulatory framework looks like; how
investors and managers are taxed; how risks are managed; how much the firm has grown or not;
whether it's currently bringing in new clients; and whether it has gotten media coverage. The more
you know about what makes a firm tick, the more likely you are to show you know how to get
information and use it.

"Because very few medications are specifically developed for children, doctors write prescriptions that are often just smaller doses of adult-approved drugs," said John N. van den Anker, MD, PhD, Chief of Pediatric Clinical Pharmacology at Children's National, and a co-principal investigator for the new consortium. "The process of childhood development has significant impact on how medications are absorbed and distributed within a growing body, which is why pediatric drugs need to be tested and approved using the same safeguards developed for adult medications."
Dr. van den Anker will co-direct the Mentorship Core for the new network. This core aims to train the next generation of clinical pharmacologists and clinical trial researchers by partnering junior investigators with program leaders and senior investigators.
Led by Duke University, the Pediatric Trials Network will consist of more than 100 participating clinical institutions to provide pediatric medication trials safely, efficiently, and to the highest standards. For the first seven years, the network will study therapeutic drugs identified by NICHD through its Best Pharmaceuticals for Children initiative as "priority compounds for pediatric use," including drugs for neonatology, cancer, infectious diseases, cardiovascular diseases, gastroenterology, and respiratory diseases. In addition to medications, this network will study the effectiveness and safety of medical devices developed for infants and children.
The other core members of the Pediatric Trials Network include Children's Mercy Hospital (clinical pharmacology core), the University of California at San Diego (pharmacometric core), Wake Forrest University (device core), and the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (safety and ethics core).

"I decided to spend a little more this year on holiday cards and was so glad I did! they turned out great is something family can keep on their fridge all year!"
"This is the first time I had used TinyPrints so I was a little apprehensive. All my fears vanished the instant I saw my Christmas cards! They are sensational! The colors were gorgeous and the pictures were very crisp! We will definitely use TinyPrints again."
"I loved this card from my first glance of it in the Tiny Prints magazine. I like how it combines photos and text so that it serves as a quick "newsletter" type card where you can share your year's memories without a lot of effort. Very easy to do and customer service exceeded my expectations when I called with a question about my order. Great experience!"
"We went on two exciting trips this year and wanted a way to get it all on the card ,and our Granddaughter too. This card fits the bill, but pictures could of been a little larger. I liked the proof reading service, thank you for that."
"this is our 4th year ordering holiday photo cards from tiny prints and we are always happy with the end product. the example shows all pets, but I did pictures of pets and kids and it still looked great, plus it saved me from having to take a holiday portrait of everyone together this year!"

Lyuba, a baby woolly mammoth, has left frosty Siberia for a world tour, which includes a stop this spring in Illinois. This is one celebrity that won't be welcomed down any red carpet in Chicago, though, for Lyuba died thousands of years ago at one month old.
The size of a large dog, Lyuba is extremely well-preserved, even though secular researchers have dated her at 40,000 years old. Creationist researchers argue that this infant mammoth actually died around 2000 BC, during the Ice Age that followed Noah's global Flood. Lyuba's astonishing lack of decay supports a death that was much more recent than the nonbiblical timescale.
With such well-preserved tissue available, a long-range goal of scientists is to clone one of these giants back to life. How? By taking a cell of a deceased woolly mammoth and inserting it into the womb of an Asian elephant.
Such a marvel would be possible because mammoths and elephants both descended from the same elephant kind, which God created during Creation Week (Genesis 1) and preserved on Noah's Ark to repopulate the planet after the Flood (Genesis 7–9).
