FontFonter replaced by WebFonter
What would The New York Times look like set in FF Dora? Or Kickstarter in FF Mark?
A few years ago, we in collaboration with Tim Ahrens and FontShop created FontFonter as the first free tool to allow anyone to try and preview webfonts on any website.
With the completely new and more flexible WebFonter, you can now try and test Web FontFonts together with the 15,000+ webfonts available from FontShop.com in any existing site. You can replace headline or body text, specific fonts, or, using custom CSS selectors, anything you want with a typeface of your choosing.
WebFonter can be used during the design and development process – a critical time for font choice. The target website does not need to be publicly accessible in order to test-drive webfonts. This hugely important feature marries well with the current web design trend towards designing directly in the browser.
Available for free as a Chrome extension, browser bookmarklet or by entering a URL directly at webfonter.fontshop.com, this new tool will succeed FontFonter to make the web design process even better and as seamless as possible.permalink

The story and history behind FF Videtur on I Love Typography
There is a fascinating article about the history and story behind FF Videtur – our newest FontFont by Axel Bertram and Andreas Frohloff – over on I Love Typography.
About FF Videtur
FF Videtur is based on bitmap fonts that were created by Axel Bertram, one of East Germany's most legendary designers, for the state television broadcaster GDR-TV. Bertram spent a great deal of time researching and testing the display conditions of 625-line television screens. His findings prompted the creation of Videtur, a functional open serif with moderate contrast and a highly unique shape. Fast forward two decades later and with a helping hand from FontFont's Head of Type, Andreas Frohloff, the whole character set has been completely re-drawn and reinvigorated. The best characteristics of the earlier forms were kept but the typeface's vertical proportions, serif shape, and stroke contrast have been carefully reconsidered.

O come all ye faithful
|O Come All Ye Faithful
by , translated by Frederick Oakeley and William Thomas Brooke
Adeste Fideles was an original Latin text probably initially penned by John Francis Wade in 1743 when he wrote the tune of the same name. In addition to the four original verses, Abbé Étienne Jean François Borderies wrote three, and a final anonymous submission brings the total to eight Latin verses. It has been translated many times into English and other languages, first by Frederick Oakeley in 1841. This translation is based on the original four verses and chorus as translated by Oakeley on his second attempt, published 1852, which are first, second, sixth and seventh; and on William Thomas Brooke's translation of the remainder.
1. O come, all ye faithful, Joyful and triumphant,
O come ye, O come ye, to Bethlehem.
Come and behold Him, Born the King of angels;
O come, let us adore Him, O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him, Christ the Lord.
2. God of God, Light of Light,
Lo, He abhors not the Virgin's womb;
Very God, Begotten not created;
3. See how the shepherds, Summoned to His cradle,
Leaving their flocks, draw nigh to gaze;
We too will thither Bend our joyful footsteps;
4. Lo! star-led chieftains, Magi, Christ adoring,
Offer Him incense, gold, and myrrh;
We to the Christ Child Bring our hearts' oblations.
5. Child, for us sinners Poor and in the manger,
We would embrace Thee, with love and awe;
Who would not love Thee, Loving us so dearly?
6. There shall we see Him, His Eternal Father's
Everlasting Brightness now veiled under flesh;
We find there, A Babe in infant clothing;
7. Sing, choirs of angels, Sing in exultation;
Sing, all ye citizens of heaven above!
Glory to God In the highest;
8. Yea, Lord, we greet Thee, Born this happy morning;
Jesus, to Thee be glory given;
Word of the Father, Now in flesh appearing.
This work published before January 1, 1923 is in the public domain worldwide because the author died at least 100 years ago.

Mike Fisher is in the midst of his tenth NHL season. This year he has delivered some unexpected lofty offensive numbers (22-10-11-21). He sits tied with Mike Richards and is ahead of both Vincent Lecavalier and Pavel Datsyuk in the scoring race, three centres who would have been drafted much, much higher than Fisher in your hockey pools this season. In his last year of major junior hockey, Fisher recorded 106 points in 68 games for Sudbury of the Ontario Hockey League. He's really found his offensive groove under Cory Clouston. It appears that he will obliterate his career high of 48 points, but beware; Fisher has a history of missing the odd game or two (dozen) due to injury.
Jason Spezza. Wow. The former three time 30 goal scorer has only one goal and 13 points in 20 games. Just wow. If you can buy low, he's definitely worth making a pitch for. Spezza is playing like he's confused and frustrated. He's pressing too hard and trying to play defensively to please Hockey Canada and his coach. The coach should just accept the fact that he'll make some costly giveaways and tell him to go out there, work your magic and be creative. Put a defensively responsible guy and a sniper on his line and he'll more than make up for any turnovers.
How far has former Rocket Richard winner (56 goals) Jonathan Cheechoo fallen? The 29-year-old has just four points in 21 games and is on pace for seven goals and 15 points. All that for a cap hit of $3 million dollars over each of the next two seasons. He was to Joe Thornton what Rob Brown was to Mario Lemieux. That San Jose second round pick that came over in the Heatley deal had better pan out, otherwise the trade looks like Heatley for Michalek straight up.
Nathan Horton has 19 points in 23 games with 16 of those points coming over the last 14 contests. Horton averages over 19 minutes of ice time per game including 3:24 on the power play. His career high is 62 points, but he is currently on pace for 68. During each of the last two seasons, Horton's points per game have improved in the second half. Last year between October and December, Horton scored at a 0.50 pace. From January onwards, he improved to 0.74 points per game. Two seasons ago, the split was 0.64 and 0.86 points per game. I wouldn't bet against him having a career season this year. The 24-year-old had his six game, eight point streak snapped by the Rangers last night.
Steve Reinprecht is second in scoring for the Panthers with 17 points in 23 games and his ten goals lead the team, but he only has one goal in his last ten games.
Including last night's game, Florida is currently riding an eight game point streak (5-0-3) and is 8-2-3 over their last thirteen games.
Who would have thought that Matt Moulson would be the second leading scorer on the team, one point behind (20 to 19) and two goals ahead (11 to 9) of wunderkind John Tavares? In his three AHL seasons, Moulson scored 160 points in 188 games. He has been pretty consistent so far this season for the Isles. In the month of October, he recorded ten points in 13 games. In November, he has nine points in 12 games. He's averaging 17 minutes of ice time, including three minutes per game on the power play. It must the Samson-like hair that gives him his goal-scoring strength. Please Matt, don't tempt fate by getting your flowing locks cut.
Rich Peverley continues to prosper no matter who he plays with. The Pev Dispenser leads the team with 24 points. Max Afinogenov and Nik Antropov both have 21 points in 21 games, while Tobias Enstrom has 16 points in 21 games and is on pace for 62 points. I'm surprised that rookie Evander Kane has four more points (12 to 8) than Bryan Little, but expect that to change over the next 20 games or so.
As a Patrice Bergeron owner, it's nice to see him atop the Bruins in scoring with 18 points in 23 games. Now that Marc Savard and Milan Lucic are back in the fold, look for increased offensive production throughout the Boston lineup.
Flyers rookie James van Riemsdyk has 18 points in 19 games. Emery has given Philadelphia solid, sometimes spectacular netminding and Chris Pronger has been dominant both in real life and for his fantasy owners. Pronger has 18 points, seven power play points, 30 penalty minutes and is a lofty plus-13 in 22 games. Just a great fit.
Mike Green quietly leads all defensemen with 25 points and 74 shots on goal in 24 games. Brendan Morrison has 19 points in 25 games. Until he was injured, Mike Knuble was fitting right in with 15 points in 19 games. Tomas Fleischmann had scored all 11 of his points during a nine game streak, but is pointless in his last four games.
I will be updating the Dobber Experts and two Pro Divisions shortly after the end of the month. Unfortunately, yours truly has been occupying the bottom of the standings since the start of the season. My goal is to move out of the dungeon before Sid the Kid moves out of Uncle Mario's basement.
Happy Thanksgiving to all our American friends!

At a lot of restaurants, hot dogs are an afterthought.
Chicago Dogs has a definite sports theme and an owner, Joe Palmieri, who hosts a morning sports talk show on Portland radio.
Photos by Gabe Souza/Staff Photographer
WHERE: 285 U.S. Route 1, Scarborough, 510-6363; chicagodogsofmaine.com
HOURS: 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday to Saturday; 11:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday
CHEAPEST GRUB: Hot dog, $1.99
WAIT: About five minutes
PARKING: Yes
HANDICAPPED ACCESSIBLE: Yes
– Based on a five-star scale
You'll scan a menu full of steaks, burgers or seafood, and then, at the bottom of the last page – under "for the kiddies" – you'll see a hot dog.
Luckily for people who believe hot dogs can, and should, be the center of attention in a culinary sense, there is Chicago Dogs in Scarborough.
At this casual, sports-themed eatery attached to a car wash, the hot dog is king. There are 12 different dogs on the menu. Or you can get a plain dog and jazz it up with the many relishes, mustards, hot sauces and other condiments lining a counter for public consumption.
Each dog can be bought by itself or as part of a combo that includes a medium portion of hand-cut french fries and a fountain drink. The combos range in price from $5.93 for a plain dog combo to $10.93 for the extra-large and loaded "dogzilla" combo. Most individual dogs are in the $2 or $3 price range.
When I was there on a recent lunch hour, the staff was kind enough to create for me a fat frank/Reuben combo for $8.43.
What happened was this: First I saw the Reuben dog combo, which is a hot dog topped with Swiss cheese, Thousand Island dressing and sauerkraut, just like a Reuben sandwich. Then I saw a fat frank combo, which has an extra big hot dog, so I asked about that.
My server told me she could combine them. So I said, yes, do that. By all means.
Chicago Dogs is owned by Joe Palmieri, who hosts a morning sports talk show on the Portland AM radio station known as The Big Jab. Not surprisingly, the place has a definite sports theme, with TVs showing sports news all day long and photos of sports stars hanging on the walls and over most tables. The booth in which I sat had a picture of famed Chicago Cubs slugger Ernie Banks.
When I ordered, my server gave me a receipt with my order number, 22.
"You've got 22, Doug Flutie," she said without missing a beat. (Flutie, the former Boston College and NFL quarterback, was indeed No. 22.) She did this for everyone in line, but my mind was not quick enough to catch all the other sports stars' names she attached to numbers.
My hot dog was indeed fat, as its menu moniker indicated, with a nice snap to it and a fairly mild flavor. It was on a poppy seed bun with lots of dressing, cheese and sauerkraut. It came with a huge portion of hand-cut fries – sort of like the ones you get at a fair, but thinner. Overall, it was a very filling lunch, probably more than I should have ordered.
Other interesting dogs on the menu are the signature Chicago Dog, with tomatoes, pickles, onions, mustard, bright green relish, celery salt and peppers, as well as a corn dog and a chili-cheese dog.
There's also a "beef and sausages" section to the menu, which includes an Italian beef sandwich ($5.99), a Chicago or Philly cheese steak ($6.79 for a large) and a Polish sausage sandwich ($4.49). The 10 or so items on this section all come in combos as well.
Other menu items include chicken wings and tenders, burgers, salads and wraps.
But if you're going to a place called Chicago Dogs, you really need to try the dogs.
The staff of GO anonymously samples meals for about $10.

Tranquility 2mm New River Gorge Mahogany Resilient Vinyl
2mm New River Gorge Mahogany Resilient Vinyl Flooring- 6" W x 36" L Peel and Stick Plank- 50 Year Warranty
Quick Installation Tip: Subfloor surface must be clean, smooth, and level. Not recommended for installation over radiant heat.
Resilient flooring is moisture resistant which makes it an excellent choice for high moisture areas such as bathrooms, laundry rooms, kitchens, and basements. But it will also enhance the look and feel of bedrooms, living rooms, and any other areas of your home.
We caught up with real Lumber Liquidators' customers who volunteered to discuss their floor shopping, buying and installation experiences. In no way did these customers receive compensation for their kind words. (They're speaking straight from the heart.)

Best Uses
Looks very nice. Very easy to install.
They do not stay stuck down at the corners. They were installed according to the directions.
Best Uses
After reading the reviews on this product, i thought it would be a great inexpensive product to replace our current flooring. It was super easy to install, but we have had it down now for months now and the edges and corners of most of the pieces still are not laying down and sticking. We installed this over our current laminate flooring after a thorough cleaning and sweeping. We also had parts of this installed on a new concrete floor and we are having the same issues with the tiles not sticking on that surface as well. I'm not sure if maybe this was a result of how the company stored the product (outside in the sun) or something else, but our experience with this product has been one of great frustration.
Best Uses
It probably would stick better if we had primed the plywood subfloor but nothing in the instructions nor did the sales person tell us that.
Best Uses
I installed this vynil floor on 1 bedroom apartment, so far this vynil is good, you have to work a lot removing the paper on the back of the vynil, I installed 550 sq. feets in about ten hours with a helper but you have to spend good time cleaning your subfloor otherwise this floor won't stick on your subfloor, affordable price, good looking vynil. I hope stay nice for good time, I will update this review if I notice something different.
Service and delivery comments:
My only complaint about the guy who help me in this transaction is to smile a little bit and don't show like He doesn't want to be there (NO attitude) finally He supposed to give a great costumer service.
Best Uses
I wish I would have never ordered this flooring. Ive been fighting with it for weeks now. I filled all the holes in my concrete floor right down to the smallest crack. I got adhesive primer and put down 2 coats. Even with all the prep the floor wont stick well. I've been using the other unopened boxes of flooring to weigh it down and after 3-4 days of being weighted down it sticks, but not great. I wish I could go back and undo this purchase all together. I know it will look fine once its done, but im getting very sick of gluing down almost each corner. Everytime I walk over the floor I find an edge or corner thats lifting. I give up!!! Guess I will have to break down and use vinyl floor adhesive, which is what I was hoping to avoid with thjs flooring. The seams are almost impossible to get perfect, it seems they buckle up if they are to close, or you can see the edges of each piece if not. This flooring will have to work for the time being, but in a few years I will probably install a floating floor over this one. Complete waste of money and too much time, effort and anger....Maybe it would stick better on a wood subfloor or maybe my concrete floor was rougher....I dont know - and Im very much over messing with it. Still have 3 more rooms in my basement to do, Im not lookong forward to it. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS FLOORING.
Best Uses
I would get a good blade for cutting this product and make sure you clean the sub floor very well before installation. If its concrete I would just wet mop it first with a little ammonia and then use the shop Vac to remove any further debris.
This product is very attractive and the pattern looks like real wood. This product has come a long way since the 80's.
Best Uses
Love this floor only needed a utility knife and a square to install. Had to weight down a couple of corners even after using a floor roller. However this is because my house has settled and I have a couple of high spots in my laundry room so the floor is not totally level. Be careful the glue is messy and it will get on your hands.
Best Uses
I love the look of my floors and it is very easy to put down. I'm having some issues with it pulling up and will need to get glue for some of the areas.
Best Uses
Love this vinyl! It was my first experience laying sticky planks, and it was really easy. I laid 1,000 sq.ft. of ceramic tile in my home years ago and had carpet elsewhere. I HATE carpet, and that stuff had to go, but I needed an economic solution that I could do myself in a few days...1,500 sq.ft. of it, too. I thought I wanted laminate, then read all of the reviews and got worried. I also thought I would NEVER lay a sticky vinyl in my house, but after looking at products and doing days and days of research, I changed my mind. I liked the fact that if someone spilled something on this product, it wasn't going to buckle and ruin the floor. Plus, if something does happen, I can peel up the affected piece and replace it! The product is VERY sticky, which is good, but it does make for difficult removal, even after you have recently stuck it down, though we did have a few corners and edges that came unglued overnight. We simply weighed them down and I THINK that worked. We will see... I would definitely suggest a rag with a tad bit of baby oil or Skin So Soft on hand because once you get the sticky on you (and you will) it is a booger to remove. I didn't see where anyone else suggested kitchen scissors for cutting, but I found them to be priceless for cutting around closet doors, etc. I probably used the box cutter and scissors about equally. All in all, a fabulous-looking product, and every time I walk in the rooms, I smile. DEFINITELY a better choice than carpet!

I put this in the kitchen of a house I am remodeling. It goes down easy, everyone who has seen it is very impressed with the outcome. I plan on using similar flooring (different color) in the bathroom to cover outdated tile.

Q:can you clean tranquility with a steam mop?
1 answer
A:We recommend using the Dream home cleaner. Using the steam mop would be at your own risk the moisture could affect the adhesive and cause the planks to break its bond.
Q:I want to use this flooring for a basement. Will it stick to just the concrete floor? Or do I have to put something down before I install?
1 answer
A:You can find complete installation instructions on our website through the Flooring 101 web pages for easy installation, Type in - -. Thank you for writing in.
Q:I don't believe that this floor will mitigate sound as much as I wish so I would like to install it in tandem with an underlayment. What product would work best with a vinyl peel and press floor? AS the installation guide recommends the use of luan to insure a level floor, should I install underlayment on the existing plywood subfloor, and then install a layer of luan on top of the underlayment to insure the planks will adhere to the floor?
1 answer
A:Please call our Tech and Installation Dept. @ (800) 366-4204 for a detailed answer to your question. Thank you for your inquiry.
Q:I am considering using this for the flooring in a boat remodel. I seen in a previous Q&A that a moisture barrier should be used for homes with a crawl space and the crawl space should be at least 18". Any recommendations for using it in a cabin cruiser? The majority of the flooring will have >18" of bilge/engineroom below the sub-floor. The sub-floor is painted 3/4" plywood, which I would sand,vacuum and wipe down prior to installation.
1 answer
A:Not recommended for any application besides indoors with year-round climate control.
Q:I need a flooring material for our single story concrete slab radiant floor in a new home construction. We successfully cooled our floor all summer to 72F by running 60F water through the floor. Our indoor relative humidity is seldom over 40% and usually 29% in a desert region of MT. We had no condensation problems last summer anywhere in the house. Is the R value of the Tranquility vinyl planking so low that we should not expect any moisture problems between the concrete and the flooring? Our BIG Low E windows claim to stop 99% of harmful uV, so do we still have to worry about fading? Thanks much in advance, Mike.
1 answer
A:I am not aware of any "color-fastness"/ fading issues with this product.
Q:Is this product durable with pets? AKA nails, claws etc.
1 answer
A:Despite today's advanced technology, water spills, dirt and other abrasive substances can damage a wood floor's finish. Location, traffic patterns, how often the floor is vacuumed and cleaned, children and/or pets are all factors that influence wear and durability.
Q:Can you use a steam mop to clean these floors? I didn't see that specifically on the instructions pdf. Thanks!
1 answer
A:MAINTENANCE (Dos and DONTs)
Q:Can this product be laid over ceramic tile or should the tile be torn up first?
1 answer
A:Ceramic flooring subfloors shall be treated in the same manner as a concrete subfloor, with additional precautions. Surface coating or sealers must be completely removed by light sanding or other suitable effective methods and shall be filled or flat to a smooth surface with latex Portland cement-based patching compound.
Q:This floor is installed all through our house and seems to be very easily scratched. Moving the couch or other furniture and especially a little wooden rocking horse we have have left streaks on the floor. Mopping doesn't help (obviously) is there a way I can buffer it?
1 answer
A:Wood floors like furniture will scratch and dent if not properly protected. It is recommended to use furniture pads (included in our cleaning kit) under the furniture legs. Pet nails should be kept trimmed and sharp objects (including high heels) kept away from the floor. Often scratches can be adequately repaired using liquid scratch covers. Dents and nicks can be filled using wood floor repair kits available at your local home store. If your floor is severely damaged please consult a professional about refinishing, an individual board replacement may be all that's needed.
Q:Is this suitable for a garage that is being used as a recreational area? Would there be a weight issue with putting a pool table on this?
1 answer
A:All of our flooring products are designed to be installed in climate controlled environment.

YOU'VE still got to fill every day, the 35-year-old Sydney computer whizz said to explain why he hadn't retired after selling his website and software for many millions, and I was struck by that as I read of his new endeavours this week. In one form or another it's a statement or a question that is put to me when anybody past the apex raises the subject of retirement.
The apex? I believe people are either on the up or on the down in terms of ambitions and expectations, in terms of life itself, and I recall a youngish Herald reporter writing years ago in a television review that people are either youngish or close-to-deathish. Sorry.
After we work through the questions of when I'm going to retire, and that's no time soon, and why not, and that's not enough money, I ease their disappointment by telling them I'd love to be retired, and that's true. But, they ask, how would I fill my days? The question is posed by people who are retired or who are planning to retire, and it always puzzles me that anyone could think I would not.
I'd always thought about it the way I think on my way to work of all the things I could be doing if I were not going to work, and so I rattle off a few things that could fill my day. The retired people are always unconvinced, and a few lately have asked a simple, clever question at this point. Then what, they ask, would I do today?
Oh, I'd go for an early-morning bike ride, I say.
''You did that yesterday and the day before,'' they say, ''but, anyway, what would you do after the bike ride?''
I'd weed the garden and plant a few rows of seed.
''But you did that yesterday.''
And I get their point. Retirement is not just an unbroken series of weekends, which is, I'll admit, how I've always seen it. Perhaps more as a series of very long weekends or annual holidays.
It has occurred to me that filling in the day, not advancing age, may be why retired people seem to take so long to do something. Take the mowing of the lawn. If I'm mowing the lawn on a Saturday I want it done inside an hour and a half, with as early a start as possible so that it doesn't eat too much into my day. Retired people are in no such hurry, and many will extend the mowing of a lawn much smaller than mine to half a day, at least until lunchtime, which itself seems to assume a new importance. In the afternoon there may be a trip to a supermarket or a shared pot of tea on the porch.
Need retirement be busy? What's wrong with a slower life? I'd imagine that there'd be a certain enjoyment in not having to force the pace as I usually do over the two weekend days, that there could even be a contentment to be found in mowing the lawn at a leisurely pace. But no, says an energetic friend of his retirement of five years, it is boring, a slow death. Many other people I know warn me that retirement is not all it's trumped up to be, and a couple say they wouldn't wish it on their worst enemy.
If these men have anything in common apart from the tedium, it is that they had busy, senior jobs, and while those who don't know them might assume that they had few interests away from work the reverse is true – they were as busy with projects and passions away from work as they were at work. But for reasons I don't understand, the projects and passions didn't expand to fill their days.
Some men – and I'm writing about men because women never seem to retire – seem to become busier in retirement, jamming volunteer work into a schedule of exercise, mowing neighbourhood lawns, and family projects. I can hear and see them now, cheerful and bustling, always with a story about the problem they're sorting. I start my annual leave in much the same state, working my way busily through a to-do list, but it's all downhill and weeks later I can barely get out of my own way, let alone my wife's.
Just as well I won't be retiring until my super has quadrupled.
Is retirement what you expected? Or what do you expect of it? Are you sure you shouldn't keep working?

Narrowing Achievement Gaps: What Works
No one disputes the importance of academic achievement as the primary goal of education – both for individual students and for broader society.
The cognitive and other skills that individuals acquire in school pave the way to further education and open the doors to science, literature, the arts and other knowledge that contributes to professional development and personal fulfillment. High-achieving students bring greater knowledge and skills to the labor market, and employers reward such knowledge and skills with high wages and opportunities for career advancement. For society as a whole, high levels of achievement promote economic growth and productivity and establish a foundation for stable communities.
In recent years American educators and policy makers have been paying increased attention to the existence of "achievement gaps." The term "achievement gap" can be applied to a variety of measures, including standardized test scores, high school graduation rates, higher education enrollment and college graduation rates, and workforce and job readiness. The term is also relevant to so-called "soft" skills, such as work habits and persistence that are highly valued by employers.
Academic ability will normally be distributed among the population along the lines of the familiar bell-shaped curve. There will be some high performers, some low performers and lots of others clustered around the middle. While differences, or "gaps," between the performance of individuals are to be expected, there is cause for concern when these gaps are not driven not only by standard distribution of academic ability but by other social, economic, cultural or other outside forces. Important questions arise when the collective achievement levels of any particular group of students – defined by characteristics as diverse as gender, race, ethnicity, family income, or rural versus urban environment – are consistently lower than the comparable achievement levels of other groups of students or of the student population as a whole.
In recent years a substantial number of policy makers, educators, corporate leaders and other concerned citizens have sought to find ways to narrow these achievement gaps. Some view this task as a matter of basic fairness and equity – assuring that all students have the opportunity to compete on a level playing field – while others stress the broader social and economic consequences. A 2009 report by McKinsey & Co. cautioned that the persistence of achievement gaps in the U.S. is fostering a "permanent national recession."
Some educational innovators have focused their efforts on the special learning challenges that low-income students bring with them when they pass through the schoolhouse door. These approaches include wrap-around health, social and educational services aimed at providing disadvantaged students with the social capital that most middle-class students take for granted. Others focus on male-female achievement gaps, which are a topic of growing interest not only in the U.S. but around the world. Whereas in the past concerns about gender equity focused on access to education for girls and women, now many districts say that they have a "boy problem" in that, once they gain access to education, girls tend to persist and excel academically at higher rates than boys. Still another important, but often neglected, challenge is performance gaps between students in rural and urban settings.
The 2014 McGraw Prize in Education will be awarded to three individuals who have found ways to successfully narrow a particular kind of achievement gap or gaps in a manner that lends itself to replication on a broad scale. As in the past, the Prize will be awarded across the educational spectrum from elementary and secondary education to higher education. A Prize will be awarded in each of the following three categories.
Global: Given that the debate over how to improve academic achievement is one that now transcends national borders, we will honor someone who has had a demonstrable impact on education policy and practice internationally. Persons outside of the US are eligible to apply.
Rising Star: Candidates will be a relatively young practitioner, researcher or policy maker who, based on his or her accomplishments thus far, shows the promise of becoming a game changer and making even greater contributions in the future as it relates to narrowing an achievement gap. This person imagines a future where education reform takes on new shapes and forms, and breaks boundaries. He or she is a visionary and has rolled up his or her sleeves to craft new solutions.
Lifetime Achievement: We will honor an educational pioneer who has developed an innovative concept or approach to teaching and learning that has narrowed an achievement gap and that has also spurred others to create solutions. Candidates' work will demonstrate measurable results and will have been put into practice and applied on a broad scale.
As always, judges will be looking for individuals and organizations that are able to document their accomplishments through quantitative and qualitative means. In each of the three categories, awards will be made to individuals who fulfill four Criteria:
- Impact on a key aspect of education
- Effectiveness
- Replication
- A compelling public voice

My First Silver Coin
I bought the Ace 250 about 2 months ago. I really only have to time hunt after work before the sun sets, or on the weekends. Last week I was hitting the park across from my apartments, and had dug up 2 wheaties from the early '20's. I was swinging away when I got a solid sounding signal. The machine knew for a fact there was something good there. I dug down about 3 inches and saw the edge of the coin. When I pulled it out saw "1911" I began to shake. I took it inside cleaned it up well. It was a 1911 Barber Dime. My first silver. Thanks Kellyco for a great opportunity to fall in love with a new hobby.

Getting Teens and Pre-Teens Into An Economy.

Parents expecting kids to pitch in to help with chores and neither side satisfied with the outcome. Dr. Wes says that today's teenagers feel entitled for a good reason—we've just given them too much stuff. But it just doesn't have to be that way. How to get your child into a real economy.

"When people come to therapy they don't want to talk to a therapist. They want to talk to a person who knows how to do therapy. Regardless of how well you're trained or how much you know, if a therapist can't talk with kids and families like a regular person, he won't be able to communicate the important ideas of therapy. That's how I try to work with my clients -- like a real person who knows something useful that could bring about change."
--Dr. Wes Crenshaw

Adrian began serving children, teens and families in Lawrence with the Bert Nash Center's Child and Family Services Team in 2008. He uses a collaborative approach that maximizes the strengths of those he works with and empowers change.
"I am not here to fix you, because I do not see you as broken. Instead, therapy is a process of identifying and initiating small shifts in our way of thinking, feeling and behaving that lead to healthier patterns of living with ourselves and others. Sometimes taking the first steps can seem difficult, but rest assured we'll take them together."
--Adrian Zelvy, LCPC

Grace, is a Certified Animal Therapist (CAT)*. She assists Dr. Wes by trying to type notes on his laptop during sessions, and napping on the arm of his chair. Sometimes she will sit with clients, but she may ignore you unless you bring string. In fact, she wrote her masters thesis on string theory. Sometimes she plays rough, particularly with boys. Grace likes boys quite a bit. Grace does not like other cats, but she does like puppies as long as they are friendly and cute. She loves birds...which is why we don't usually invite them to session.
If you have allergies to Grace she won't be offended. She can retire to her office or visit with clients in the lobby during your session. Just let us know at the beginning of sessions. Some clients who like cats but are allergic enjoy having this limited exposure to Grace. Dr. Wes does have a HEPA air filter in his office to keep the air clean of allergens.
"Meow. Meow meow meow. Meow. Meow meow. Purr purr. Snore snore."
--Grace, CAT
*This is a joke. Cats can't be certified as therapists.

Of this pope very little is known with certainty, not even the date of his birth nor the exact dates of his consecration as pope and of his death. He was born at Gallese near Civita Castellana, and was the son of Constantine. He became cardinal of St. Peter ad Vincula and pope about August, 897. He died four months later. He granted the pallium to Vitalis, Patriarch of Grado, and a privilege for his church; and to the Spanish Bishops of Elna and Gerona, he confirmed the possessions of their sees. His coins bear the name of the Emperor Lambert, and his own monogram with "Scs. Petrus". The contemporary historian Frodoard has three verses about him which argue him a man of virtue. It is possible he was deposed by one of the factions which then distracted Rome, for we read that "he was made a monk", a phrase which, in the language of the times, often denoted deposition.

Linux on iPhones
A Linux Kernel 2.6 runs on Apple's iPhones (first and second generation) and the iPod Touch (first generation).
The developers of IPhone Linux now included the OpeniBoot bootloader. A readme describes the necessary steps to install OpeniBoot and run Linux on the Apple mobile phones.
The readme warns, however, that you should know something about how an iPhone works before attempting the installation. Otherwise you risk it not booting at all. Apparently the iPhone loads an image in recovery mode that installs the OpeniBoot boot manager.
Note that a number of drivers still don't work. Nand doesn't have write capability yet and there's no WLAN, touch screen support or sound. The modules that do work include the frame buffer and serial drivers. The long-term goal is to introduce Google Android on the iPhone.

Snowy Owls have irrupted in the northeast this winter, invading in good numbers and providing a rare spectacle that is delighting birders and underscoring the region's connectedness to events above the Arctic Circle.
In Connecticut, one of the best places to see Snowy Owls locally is Connecticut Audubon Society's Milford Point Coastal Center, where one and sometimes two birds have been feeding and roosting for about a week.
Snowy Owls have also been seen in Old Lyme, West Haven, Hammonassett State Park, Falkners Island, Stratford, Bridgeport and Westport.
In nearby New York they have been seen around Jamaica Bay, on Jones Beach, Robert Moses State Park and on Fire Island.
Snowy Owls live most of their lives on the tundra but when their food – lemmings and other rodents – becomes scarce in winter, they fly south in search of more productive hunting grounds. These so-called "irruptions" happen every few years, the most recent being in the winter of 2011-2012.
"Snowy Owls are as beautiful as snow flakes, but as fierce as leopards. Most notable though, their presence throughout the northeast this winter reminds us that the Arctic is not as remote as we often think, and we are all more connected than we think," said Connecticut Audubon President Alex Brash in a release. "Once again birds remind us of the fragility and interconnectedness of our planet."
Because they are tundra birds, Snowy Owls invariably chose flat, open areas, especially beaches, for their winter roosting and hunting grounds. They arrive here exhausted and hungry, and need to save their energy for hunting.
"We hope as many people as possible get to see these spectacular birds but we urge everyone to keep their distance," said Milan Bull, Connecticut Audubon's senior director of science and conservation in the Audubon release.
"It's never a good idea to disturb birds just for the sake of taking a photo or seeing them fly, but with Snowy Owls we know they are particularly tired and hungry from their journey," Bull said. "They need every bit of energy to survive the winter and make it back to the Arctic in time for breeding season."
One great and easily accessible place to see Snowy Owls is at Connecticut Audubon's Milford Point Coastal Center, at 1 Milford Point Road, Connecticut. From there, owls have most often been seen out on the point itself, which is visible from the observation tower at the Coastal Center building, or on the jetty near the mouth of the Housatonic River.
The grounds are open from dawn to dusk seven days a week, and the center building is open Tuesday through Saturday, from 10:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m., and Sunday from noon to 4:00 p.m.
Much of the land surrounding the Coastal Center is private or, like parts of the McKinney National Wildlife Refuge, off limits, so the best places from which to observe the Snowy Owls are the observation tower at the center building or the observation platform on the Long Island Sound beach.
Please do not approach the owls too closely.
Do Not Disturb: The Snowy Owls Have Irrupted
Visitors from the Arctic are visible in numerous locations, providing a rare spectacle. But please do not approach the owls too closely.

Spam, fraud, and network misuse, and other cybersecurity threats are growing daily in volume and sophistication. We are the experts in messaging security, protecting the largest communications providers and their subscribers worldwide.
Following the arrest last fall of Dmitry Fedotov, cybercriminals have reverted to a more old fashioned way of distributing malware: email spam. Cloudmark has recently seen spam in the US and UK falsely notifying recipients of a friend's death or cancer diagnosis in order to shock users into installing trojans. Meanwhile on the mobile front, Indian regulator TRAI appears to have met with marked success in its attempts to curb SMS spam. Find more on these topics, Ukraine's outbound spam issues, and the UK's sports-driven gambling spam in our 14Q1 Global Messaging Threat Report.

If you desire to learn, enter;
We bid you welcome.
The Quadrangle contains a number of commemorative plaques and inscriptions.
Two inscriptions on the east facade of the Brookings archway recognize the university's original founding in 1853 as Eliot Seminary and its re-naming as Washington University in 1857.
Above the archway is the Latin inscription "Discere Si Cupias Intra: Salvere Iubemus" ("If you desire to learn, enter: We bid you welcome").
The large granite plaque in the plaza in front of Brookings Hall commemorates the naming of the Danforth Campus in 2006.
The plaque embedded in the stone paving beneath the archway honors Washington University's c0-founder, first Chair of the Board and the third Chancellor, William Greenleaf Eliot. The plaque was given to the university during the centennial celebrations in 1953 by the First Unitarian Church of St. Louis.
Finally, on the west facade of Brookings Hall above the clock, the Latin inscription reads, "Cedunt Horae, Opera Manent" ("The hours go by, but the works remain").

One of our missions at SKF is to equip our customers worldwide with the technologies, products and services that can help them weather the current economic downturn and build toward a more competitive and healthier future. A key driver behind this mission is the quest for sustainability, with an emphasis on ways to increase energy efficiency, reduce negative environmental impact and add value in the process.
By working in (and understanding) so many different customer industries, SKF possesses a particular marketplace advantage. We have been at the forefront in the practice of "transfer of technology," in which products and services developed for one industry segment can be adapted to deliver solutions in other industries—all the while creating value for customers. We accomplish this both by investing in core technology areas and by combining our extensive systems-oriented knowledge and expertise. Along the way, SKF can spearhead the development of value propositions for a broader range of different industries and customers around the world.
Delivering sustainable value
Our product offerings have evolved over many years and the creation of value for customers has been at the heart of the evolution. Today, we understand that the concept of "value" has perhaps never been more valued. There are many examples of how value-creating and energy-saving technologies can help improve equipment performance, streamline production efficiency and/or reduce operating costs—whether the economy is good or bad:
For us, sustainable value naturally follows from environmentally sound and energy-efficient products and services. Our own ultimate vision is to strive toward a net positive contribution to the environment, which we define as the BeyondZero concept. The goal is to make a measurably positive (or "plus") impact on the environment instead of simply reducing
greenhouse gas emissions or an overall footprint. We are well on our way.
Partnering with our customers
These days, as we actively partner with our customers, we note that many engineering teams have seized the opportunities inherent in today's volatile economic and environmental climate to evaluate existing designs with an eye toward re-engineering and developing next-generation designs. Some organizations may focus on reducing costs, while others may concentrate on designs that will be faster, more efficient and more environmentally friendly. For our part, when we can contribute sustainable value to such efforts, our mission is accomplished. MT

With a warm breeze as their ultimate side dish, franks are a simple summer staple everyone can enjoy. Fire up the grill for these best-in-show dogs.
Oscar Mayer Selects Beef Franks
Tasters' Pick: Taste and texture came together perfectly in Oscar Mayer's Selects Beef Franks ($5.69 for 16 oz.) with their "smoky," "meaty" flavor and "crisp" casing that couldn't be beat. This "hearty," "flavorful" hot dog "tastes like sausage" and boasts a lack of any added artificial preservatives, like nitrites or nitrates.
Ball Park Deli Style Franks
Ball Park Deli Style Beef Franks
Taste testers looking for more than just a salty hot dog ranked Ball Park Deli Style beef franks ($4.41 for 15 oz.) highly for its "classic" taste mixed with a "hint of sweetness." Described as "rich" and "beefy," this "satisfying" hot dog hit the spot and had tasters reaching for seconds.
Related: Our Summer Grilling Cookbook
Editors' Pick: "The crispy skin is terrific!" pretty much sums up testers' reactions to the natural casing of this pork and beef frank from Boar's Head ($5.99 for 14 oz.). The "super crackly" exterior was a delight to those looking for a contrast to the chewier interior. The pronounced pork flavor also added delicious depth to the meaty richness of this frank.
Ball Park Hot Dogs Ball Park Premium Beef Franks
Described as "garlicky" with "a nice salty/sweet balance," Ball Park Premium Beef Franks ($4.11 for 16 oz.) were an overall hit with tasters who appreciated their "milder," "slightly less salty" flavor. Most preferred their "crispy" exteriors to its "pasty," "bologna"-like interiors, which were just a bit "too smooth."
Related: How to Grill Vegetables
Oscar Mayer Selects Angus Beef Franks
Tasters were divided on the "smoky" flavor of these Angus beef hot dogs ($5.69 for 15 oz.); some enjoyed the assertiveness of it, while others thought them slightly artificial tasting. Most tasters loved the "satisfying snap" of this hot dog when they bit into it and compared its "garlicky" flavor to those you would find at a classic New York hot dog cart.

March 5, 2013—Researchers with the Cornell Lab of Ornithology capture video of newborn Spoon Billed Sandpiper chicks. This critically endangered Asian shorebird could go extinct within ten years.
In stunning video, a Cornell Lab of Ornithology researcher has captured the first-known images of newborn chicks of a critically endangered species in the wild.
The spoon-billed sandpiper chicks hatched in Russia's northeastern Chukotka region where it borders the Bering Sea. Researchers estimate as few as 100 breeding pairs remain in the wild. And with a 25 percent rate of decline each year, the species could be extinct within a decade.
Cornell Lab videographer Gerrit Vyn spent 2 months in the northeastern Russia tundra and followed the sandpipers through June and July.
The sandpipers arrive in late May and early June, while snow still covers much of the land.
Once a breeding pair mates in the spring, they become inseparable.
Their numbers have dwindled due to habitat loss in their migratory stopover paths of Japan, North and South Korea, mainland China and Vietnam, and their wintering grounds in Bangladesh and Myanmar.
Vyn spent four days waiting for four eggs to hatch. Rather than watch the nest constantly, he used headphones to listen for newborn chicks.
From day one, the chicks feed themselves, foraging close to the nest at brief 5 to 10 minute intervals. The sandpipers feed on insects like mosquitoes and fly larvae, along with vegetation like crowberries and grass seeds.
The adult calls the chicks back to the nest to warm up. And the chicks tuck under the wings of the parent. The fathers look after the chicks during the day and the mothers at night. But when the last egg hatches, the female heads south, and the male rears the chicks until they become independent about 20 days later.
Vyn hopes his work filming the spoon-billed sandpiper will help awaken global attention to an environmental crisis along the East Asian-Australasian Flyway, where more than half of coastal wetlands in China and South Korea have been lost.
