Hello gang,
I am what you would call a total NEWB, I literally just started using Dreamweaver CS5 and have like zero coding skills lol so I am basically learning as I go. So I have been trying to put together a quick website for a Charitable Campaign I am doing for Children that can be found at kids.getdiggin.com now that URL is going to be important, because if you goto that URL ou will see my problem, when actually visiting the website you can see that at the top you see the Kids Get Diggin Logo and kids under it, those kids are suppose to be to the right of that logo and everything shows perfect in Live Mode AND in Preview mode, but when I uploaded it to the server and visit it regular it looks like it does, also if you see the small picture on the home page of the child, the text it butted right up to the image and in DW I have a margin there and its spaced but not when visitng live. I will be linking a image below of what I want it to look like, and how it looks like in preview mode, but I am WAY to newb to know how to fix this problem that most of you probably just smack your forehead to saying "is this dude serious" lol, but if you can help it would be greatly appreciated.
Hi -
May I ask why you are using a frameset for your site.
They are fraught with problems and limitations.
Easy to implement "Server Side Includes" afford all the benefits you need
for maintaining repetitive content.
Apply "Float" left to your problem top images,and if you use a marhin or mirgin right to the CSS
your text will move away from the lower image.
margin: 10px;
I am so newb I can not even answer that lol, I started off with a template and worked from that. how do I do the float left thing? I need to learn Dreamweaver more, and I plan to but I really need to get the page done lol so I am really this sadly bad at it for now trying to rush to get it done
You already used float properly in this image
<img class="image" width="111" height="137" alt="" src="images/kiddetect.jpg">
Just open your default.css file and make the margin as I posted above and apply the same float class to the top images.
lmao ok I am going to be honest with you, and show my true newbness of all newbs.. I kept looking at it and I kept saying "everything is just like he is saying, I have no idea what to do", come to find out lol I only uploaded the HTML files and never reuploaded the default.css lol, that shows how complete newb I am....Trust me though I will learn DW! lol, I am more of a Illustrator man, I have been in Illustrator for 5 years and love it and Photoshop for 10. It is just i need a website in a hurry so went out and got the best of the best to make it, and then installed it and found out it was just a bit harder then I imagined =]p
Thank you very much though for your help. and I think it looks right now, I hope I did not mess anything up in the CSS when I was trying to tweak stuff a million times =]p
I do have one more newb question though, I can not figure out why the about.html (or 'What we do' tab) shifts, the whole pages just shifts, it is the only page that does that. I tried even redoing the whole page and it still does it so it has to be some silly little error somewhere that I do not understnad

I can not figure out why the about.html shifts, the whole pages just shifts, it is the only page that does that.
The shift you are seeing is caused by the appearance of a browser scrollbar on long pages and the absence of one on short pages.
To make all pages show a scrollbar region, open your default.css file and paste this into the top.
html {overflow-y:scroll}

Android 3.0 Rumored for Q4 2010
New information suggests October release date.
Rumors are circulating about Google's next version of Android, the open source, Linux-based mobile operating system. Version 3.0 (Codename: Gingerbread) will supposedly require a 1GHz CPU and at least 512MB of RAM onboard, making it a shoe-in for high-end smartphones. Gingerbread will also support a screen resolution as high as 1280x760.
Gingerbread will also feature an overhauled UI, which based on the recent announcement that Android had acquired Palm's Human Interface and User Experience VP, is a natural step. It's also rumored Google isn't ditching Android 2.2 with the release of 3.0, but rather codeveloping the operating systems, keeping 2.2 up to date on lower end devices and 3.0 on high-end phones and possibly tablets.
Again, this isn't confirmed, as Google is remaining quiet on the subject. Until there's actual confirmation, keep it in perspective.
oops XD sorry...Sorry, forgot to include the link...
Android 3 release date...Thought this looked a little interesting...check out the release date of the book...

Read our review guidelines »
We arrived and they had no idea we had booked. It was late, we were tired and this was really annoying. Online it says continental breakfast is included. They fought us over this saying our booking didn't say it included breakfast - they need to update hostel bookers info! Staff were unhelpful, forgetful and never has change. However, the manager was quite helpful in the morning which was a pleasant surprise. It is close to nothing and I wouldn't stay here again.

At long last, you have made the tough decision: it's time for a new job. Or maybe someone else decided that for you. Whatever the motivation — new owner, new boss, company going bankrupt, getting fired after a restatement — the first thing to do is find some executive recruiters. Right?
At this point, you might as well. But it would have been smarter to forge relationships with recruiters when you weren't in such a hurry to move — that way, a recruiter could have contacted you as positions became available. Not only is that how they prefer to work, it's a far surer path to making a change than pushing the panic button and expecting something to happen overnight.
Understanding what makes recruiters tick is a vital but often overlooked component of the job hunt. Here's what you need to know:
• The right recruiter. There are two kinds of recruiting firms: contingency and retained. The contingency firms get paid only when a candidate they found gets hired by a client. "There are some good ones, but many of them just throw a lot of spaghetti at the wall to see what sticks," says Lorraine Hack, a partner in the financial-officer practice at Heidrick & Struggles, a retained firm. "If you don't want your résumé to be all over the place like the daily news, you might not want to go that route." Companies hire firms like Hack's on retainer to identify candidates, thoroughly learn about them, and present a short list to be interviewed. But the lower the salary allocated for a slot, the less likely retained recruiters are to take on that search, so recruiters paid via contingency fees are frequently used to fill lower-level positions.
• E-greetings. To make initial contact with a recruiter, send an E-mail. "Some candidates think paper résumés stand out, but E-mail is interactive — I can just hit 'reply' to get back to you," says Hack. And her opinion about cold calls: "Very poor." Some recruiters, like Chuck Eldridge, managing director of the financial-officers practice at Korn/Ferry International, don't mind a phone call or even a brief visit to get acquainted — to a point. "I can't do that with every finance person in the country," he says. Which brings us to the next point.
• It's a rat race. Working on about 10 searches at a time, a recruiter might make five calls to prospective candidates per week on each search, according to Hack. That's 50 calls. Each client wants weekly telephone updates on the search progress, which eats up several hours. Candidates who pass initial muster must be interviewed, followed by a written report to the client; this process takes a couple of hours a pop, and sometimes a whole day, if the recruiter must travel to do the interview. That's not to mention their own intracompany meetings or the small matter of finding new business.
Why should you care? "If you call a recruiter and they don't call back, it isn't necessarily because they have a bad feeling about you — it's that they're overwhelmed," says I.H. "Chip" Clothier, managing partner of HFC Executive Search. "There's an assumption that if you call someone they're going to call you back, but it physically can't work that way." Also note that while you may be out of a job, calling recruiters every week for an update is not productive and likely will just annoy them.

I recently upgraded a spare iphone to the latest 2.1 firmware and also ran quickpwn to jailbreak and activate it, but it has no wifi or imei number.
I wanted to manually copy some files (terminal and bootneuter) to it and try to run them. I used Total Commander to copy the files, but when i try to run the programs they just freeze and after a few seconds the springboard comes back.
I know that this is a security problem (i need 0755 i believe) but how can i set this without terminal ?
Hope anyone can help me, i am really tired of my 1011 error and really want to experiment in terminal screen with flashing the baseband.

I couldn't even watch a full episode of lost before told me I reached my limit and needed to buy the full version or restart the app. Bunch of sellouts I used to think the developers for this app where really bad*ss for going against the carriers but now they're lame
I've been using foxfi for years for free, I'm more then happy to pay a dev 6- to have the full version, making programs and writing code is no easy task(or everyone would do it) 6- for 2 year, plus many more is a great buy, i pay for mobile hotspot, but vzw's app sucks so i us foxfi, very user friendly and works perfect on razr, being cool doesn't pay the bills.

Taking an app that people cherished as being free and a staple of reason android is so amazing and during down all support unless you'll comply by passing them is an awful thing to do.it's not about being cool. Besides , there were lots of other ways they could've went about this. This was a nasty greedy way. It's something Verizon would do
Let's keep this thread civil.
Personal attacks toward members, which hasn't happened so far, will result in this thread being closed and possible further action toward the attacker.

First of all, to the guy saying we're complaining about people wanting to be paid for their work, that's pretty dumb. Personally, I don't mind spending 7$, I just don't like how this was implemented. One day I go to use it and I get a message saying I can't. What's to stop them from doing the same thing six months from now citing that they've had to do a lot of upgrades? Does this eventually turn in to a monthly update costing money? I'm not down for that. I'd pay money for this, but I know there are free alternatives, and I don't trust FoxFi anymore. I can't merit spending money on a product when it's use can be taken away at any given time.
Really disappointed with this. I know there are alternatives such as rooting your phone, but are there any alternatives for those of us who don't want to bother rooting?
If anything, FoxFi doing this will just get me to stop being lazy and root my phone finally.
The updated app still allows you to use it for free, there are just usage limits. For an app that has no ads, no pop ups, etc. you've been getting a pretty good deal.
What's to stop them from doing this again in 6 months? Nothing. You will however have saved $173 in that period so you might keep that in mind. If they charge $7/month? Still saving $23/month.
If people want to complain about getting ripped off, how about they actually get ripped off first?
You have to know that if Verizon could jump in and disallow any tethering without paying their $30 fee/month, they would. The nominal fee we pay to give back to developers for a service that simply works as billed, is a drop in the bucket to what you'd have to fork over to Big Red. Enjoying life my friends, simply isn't free.
You are 100% correct. By the way, after Fox fi popped up the message saying it would no longer work, I rooted my s3 specifically for wireless tether. Guess what? Wireless tether apps are broken on rooted s3's running jelly bean. Fox fi wouldn't even work. So then I unrooted just to make sure I didn't screw up my radio or anything and I tried watching an episode of lost with Fox fi. I watched 5 minutes before my connection was interrupted and Fox fi popped up in my notification bar saying I reached the data cap and needed to restart the connection. ALL of this happened because of a stupid pop-up from Fox fi saying that it was no longer supported and I needed to upgrade and pay them. THAT'S GRIMY. So guess what, now I'm just using pda net and it works perfectly while charging my battery at the same time.Originally Posted by Hysterics

A report in the October 2012 issue of Diabetes Technology & Therapeutics says that airport full-body scans can cause malfunctions in insulin pumps or continuous glucose monitors.
Other devices, such as CGM transmitters and Medtronic's iPro recorder, can also be affected by airport body scanners. Those scanners join CAT (computer-assisted tomography), X-rays, MRI (magnetic resonance imaging), and PET (positron emission tomography) as devices that insulin pump and CGM device wearers are advised to avoid.
Regular airport metal detectors, which have been in use in U.S. airports since the 1970s, have no effect on pumps or CGMs.
The avoid body scanner-caused electromagnetic malfunctions, the report recommends that wearers decline full-body scans and ask for pat-downs or metal detector checks instead.
In cases where security personnel refuse such requests, pump and monitor wearers should remove their devices and send them through regular metal detectors before they themselves submit to full body scans.
Before traveling by air, pump and CGM users should consult manufacturers' websites to download guidelines for protecting their devices and dealing with security personnel and procedures.

Former congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, who was critically wounded in a shooting at a event in Tucson in Jan. 2011, and her husband, former astronaut Mark Kelly will be in the Northside Independence Day parade Thursday as part of a seven-state "Rights and Responsibilities" tour.
Caleb Faux, executive director of the Hamilton County Democratic Party, said he has been told by officials of Americans for Responsible Solutions, the Super PAC run by Giffords and Kelly, that they will hold a press event in Cincinnati and ride in the Northside parade.
It's been assumed for months, but it became official Thursday - Cincinnati will have a primary election for mayor on September 10.
Thursday was the filing deadline for mayoral candidates; and election officials said three have already qualified by submitting petitions with the signatures of 500 registered voters. They are Democrats Roxanne Qualls and John Cranley, along with Libertarian Jim Berns.
The Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana Regional Council of Governments is releasing its 2013 Ohio counties bike route guide.A press release says the map is a combination of routes throughout Butler, Clermont, Hamilton and Warren counties.

Construction is officially underway on the Gateway Community and Technical College Urban/Metro Campus in downtown Covington. College officials and community leaders made a symbolic swing of the sledge hammer Thursday to mark the start of a complete renovation of the former Marx Gallery at 520 Madison Avenue into the Gateway Technology and Design Center. Classes are expected to start in the refurbished 50,000-square-foot facility in August next year.
Elmwood Place's speed cameras will soon be in possession of the Hamilton County Sheriff's Department. Judge Robert Ruehlman ordered the cameras confiscated after ruling the village, and the company running them, Optotraffic, did not turn them off after he ordered them to and continued to issue tickets.

I can't say I'm a fan of the typical horror movie. I never watched A Nightmare on Elm Street or the Saw movies. And although I do enjoy a good scare from classic horror films like Rosemary's Baby and Psycho, there's nothing quite like the uneasy feeling I get from these eerily disturbing movies.They're not exactly horror movies, but they create a creepy atmosphere and seem to take place in the surreal world of nightmares. Definitely strange and disturbing!
An unforgettable collection of four traditional Japanese ghost stories from director Masaki Kobayashi (Hara-kiri).Winner of the Special Jury Prize at the 1965 Cannes Film Festival, it has been called one of the most meticulously crafted supernatural fantasy films ever made. It is a visually stunning world in which beauty and horror coexist, and for me, his dramatic use of sound (and sometimes the lack of sound) is part of what creates the feeling of unease. The unusual use of bold color and music creates an effect of nightmarish terror that is purely Japanese.
In this feature by Czech director Jan Svankmajer, an infertile couple desperately want a baby. The husband finds a tree root that resembles a baby and presents it to his wife, who proceeds to dress, feed and care for it like a real baby. Her maternal longings transform the stump into a real baby with a monstrous appetite that isn't satisfied with baby formula. This wicked and humorous take on parenting and consumerism has been compared to Eraserhead, Little Shop of Horrors and Rosemary's Baby. Good sick fun.
Another feature by Jan Svankmajer, the surrealist Czech director and animator. What can I say? Any version of Alice (except maybe Disney) is always slightly disturbing and odd to me, but this is the strangest Alice you are ever going to see. There is bizarre imagery: a slab of meat that squirms into a pot, tiny rat skulls breaking out of eggshells. There are strange sound effects: grating metal, splintering wood. We're not quite sure what we're hearing. It's a surreal nightmare.
In this adult fairy tale, director Guillermo del Toro (Devil's Backbone, Mama) takes us into a world where, as in all myths and fairytales, strange, wondrous and chilling creatures represent facets of the subconscious.In this case, that of an innocent young girl facing evil in the form of her fascist general stepfather in Franco's Spain. Grotesque and beautiful, sad, agonizing and haunting, this film took my breath away.
For me, this is probably the creepiest of the bunch. According to movie critic Roger Ebert, "Critics were baffled by it, the public rejected it. But nobody who has seen The Night of the Hunter has forgotten it, or Robert Mitchum's voice coiling down those basement stairs: 'Chilll...dren?' ... One of the most frightening of movies, with one of the most unforgettable villains." The only movie directed by Charles Laughton is an expressionistic oddity, telling its chilling story through visual fantasy. The riverboat scene is one of the greatest in black and white cinematography, famous for its surreal, dreamlike quality and haunting lullaby.
A violent nightmare transports young Rosaleen back in time to a world of primeval forests and werewolves. In this netherworld she learns her only sister has been killed by a wolf. Her Granny (Angela Lansbury) weaves vivid tales of folklore and fantasy with warnings of fantastic beasts that lurk within men and foretelling the fate of all young girls who stray from the path. The film is based on a story by Angela Carter, which in turn is a gothic fantasy take on Little Red Riding Hood. With its dark, menacing and sexual imagery, it's not a pretty picture of puberty.
One night a mysterious visitor asks to use Felix's phone and quickly vanishes in the house without a trace. As

The study will see if mechanical impulses delivered by an echocardiographic probe during a continuous infusion of Definity are capable of improving blood flow in smaller heart vessels in patients with acute coronary syndromes.
Acute Coronary Syndrome
Myocardial Infarction
Drug: Definity
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Allocation: Non-Randomized
Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study
Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment
Masking: Single Blind (Outcomes Assessor)
Primary Purpose: Treatment
|Official Title:
|Utilization of Diagnostic Ultrasound in the Detection and Therapy of Acute Coronary Syndromes
- Improved microvascular recanalization and epicardial recanalization rates in STEMI as assessed by coronary angiography and recovery of regional microvascular perfusion and function in the post-infarction period. [ Time Frame: 6 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Start Date:
|September 2009
|Estimated Study Completion Date:
|January 2010
|Estimated Primary Completion Date:
|December 2009 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
|Assigned Interventions
Experimental: High mechanical index impulses
Using the transthoracic three dimensional imaging probe, low mechanical index (MI) will examine wall motion. Intermittent high MI impulses will be administered over the microvasculature where there are wall motion abnormalities using an imaging plan that best aligns itself with the risk area.
Drug: Definity
One vial of Definity in 50cc of normal saline infused continuously in conjunction with the high MI impulses.
Detailed Description:
Pre-clinical studies have indicated that, during a continuous infusion of intravenous perfluorocarbon-containing microbubbles, the ultrasonic power delivered from a diagnostic ultrasound transducer is capable of restoring microcirculatory flow and improving epicardial recanalization rates following acute coronary thrombotic occlusions. Since both diagnostic ultrasound and intravenous infusions of microbubbles are a Class I indication to assess regional and global left ventricular function and risk area in patients with ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), this pilot study will examine whether diagnostic assessments of left ventricular function and risk area size impacts epicardial recanalization rates and infarct size in STEMI.
The aim of this study is to test whether guided high mechanical index impulses from a diagnostic transducer during a continuous infusion of intravenous microbubbles are capable of improving microvascular recanalization and epicardial recanalization rates in STEMI, as assessed by coronary angiography, and recovery of regional microvascular perfusion and function in the post-infarction period.

2 Questions from the Community
how far down will the light bulb extend below the lamp?
A. Progress Lighting does not have this information for the P5722. The screw in area for the bulb is where the shade narrows, so from that area to the bottom of the bulb will be your measurement. If you have any other questions please call 800-375-3403 x725 for Jordan. I hope this helps.
How much space will there be between the shade and the wall? Thanks!

Animal Law Seminar
Is there a place for the consideration of the interests of animals in the law? Throughout the semester, we will examine the historical and current status of animals in our legal system. Students will examine a diverse cross-section of law devoted to the controversial moral, ethical, and public policy considerations germane to efforts to balance the interests of animals and those of humans. The course is not an animal rights course. Rather, students will be invited to explore whether the law has a place for animals and, if so, where lines ought to be drawn. The course is graded on regular class attendance, participation, and a research paper. Text: Animal Law Cases and Materials - Third Edition Sonia Waisman, Bruce A. Wagman & Pamela Frasch

May 19th, Lemoore , CA -To sum up the WECs 15th installment in one word would simply be "wow"! The two much-hyped main events actually lived up to the talk and more as James Irvin Squared off with Dough Marshall and Poppies Martinez took on Cole Escovedo, while the rest of the card was filled with UFC veterans from top to bottom including Chris Lytle and Joe Riggs. Again, what a show!
In the main event, Doug Marshall and James Irvin put on a fight of non-stop fireworks , leaving not one fan in attendance of the sold out show in their seat. It was no secret that these two fighters did not like each other, and it showed as both fighters came out swinging. Irvin got the better of the stand up with great Muay Thai strikes, even dropping Rhino to his back with one kick to the leg.
After another knockdown by Irvin, this time with a punch, Irvin looked for the finish as he jumped on Rhino and attempted an armbar, which failed landing Marshall on top. Rhino was able to GnP Irvin enough to open a cut above Irvins eye, leaving everyone worried that the fight would be stopped. Luckily for everyone in attendance, the fight was allowed to continue. In the second round, Irvin went to the clinch quickly, where he was able to land a devastating knee to the chin of Marshall , knocking him out cold and giving Irvin the victory by KO at 38 seconds of the second round. Irvin told the crowd that he will be entering the 205 pound division, so look for him to be a force there.
In the co-main event, Poppies Martinez took on Cole Escovedo in another grudge match, this time for the WEC Lightweight Native American Championship belt. Most people thought Cole would walk all over Poppies, but it was almost the other way around and Poppies was able to keep the fight standing and land several blows that connected on Cole, almost knocking him out. Throughout the fight, Cole was landing thai kicks to Poppies leg, which eventually slowed down the Tai Chi Kid. In the second, Cole connected with 3 more thai kicks in a row, one of which seemed to put Poppies in excruciating pain. Poppies did a good acting job of trying to continue the fight, but referee Josh Rosenthal had seen enough, giving Cole the win by TKO at around the one minute mark of round 2. Again, this writer would like to point out that Cole Escovedo vs. Urijah Faber is the one fight at 145 in CA that we need and want to see.
Coming off a disappointing loss in his last UFC performance, Joe Riggs was looking to come back and make a statement that he is still a top contender in the 185 pound division. Although his opponent Rob Kimmons was not at the top of the 185 pound chain, Riggs was able to make his statement as he took Kimmons down immediately and proceeded to land elbows and punches from within the guard of Kimmons, knocking him out cold at only one 1:24 of the first round. Look for Riggs to be back in UFC 54, possibly against David Terrell.
Chris Lytle was not himself on this night, as he took on late replacement Pat Healy, who gave him a run for his money. Lytle one the first round convincingly, but seemed to gas in the second round, which was where Healy landed in top position landing decent strikes for the remainder of the fight. Most people in attendance felt that Healy took two of the three rounds, however, the Judges saw it as a Split Decision victory for Lytle. Although not a convincing win by any means, Lytle rebounds from his last UFC appearance.
Another UFC veteran, Richard Crunkleton, was making his firstappearance since his fight with Hermes Franca in the UFC over 2 years ago. Crinklington used an amazing ankle pic, coupled with submission attempts and GnP to get the TKO victory over Paul Jenkins at the 2:36 mark of the second round. Look for Crunklington to be back on the map in the 155 lb. Division.
Fan favorite Justin Levins has acquired quite the cult following in the Central Valley with his aggressive fighting style along with the skills to match it. Levins took on Tony Lopez in a one sided fight that saw Levins drop Lopez with an overhand right, a nearly secured Kimura, and finally a rear naked choke at only 3:46 of the first round. Levins is definitely one of the best up and coming fighters in the 205 pound division. Look for big things to come from Levins in the near future.
In the very first fight of the evening, Jay Hieron took on Adam Lynn in what could have been a main event. Hieron, who is best known for losing to George St. Pierre in UFC 48, was able to dominate this fight by landing nice strikes and executing takedowns at will. Hieron gets the Unanimous decision nod over Adam Lynn after 3 rounds.
In other action, Lavar "Big" Johnson KOs Carlos Garcia at 1:09 of the first round with vicious combinations, Tony Alanis defeated Johnny Fablea by TKO at 3:21 of the first, Steve Ramirez defeated Anthony Gonzales by rear naked choke at 4:38 of the first, Josh Green choked out Miguel Cosio at 40 seconds of the first round, Casio Werneck defeated Tony Imada by Triangle choke at 2:54 of the second round, and finally, Thomas Shulte defeated Raven Seymon by Triangle choke at 1:29 of the first round.

Education comes from the community - teachers, parents, kids AND credo.

Lately, as "my" people (the "Stalinists") gained control, we have lost it - we have lost our edge and what it truly means to be American. Instead we are all touchy feely now and p.c. This is no good. and you know it. Save MAYBE for the AP kids, the Intel science crowd, our education of the youth has sunk to empty depths I never thought I'd see. So yes, I'd abolish the fed Dept of Education, save all that $$$, toss the bureaucrats out - let them find real jobs. and keep the $$ home. I trust in he People (and the courts). Regional variations in ed. policies? yeah, as long as the Constitution is upheld and respected and as long as EVERY SCHOOL teaches American Exceptionalism, values and the joys of liberty. THAT is American ed. PS: no database collection of the children's vitals, biometrics, metadata, ed. evals., test scores - nothing centralized - ever. It is tyranny to have such a database and centralized control over the children. Do not give the government powers it is not entitled to - do not acquiesce. You would? why? to what end?

New Poll Shows New Yorkers Divided on Common Core
Commack Resident March 21, 2014 at 11:02 am
My son is a top student in 4th grade. He easily passed the new Common Core State ELA and Math tests…Read More last year. This year, he is NOT taking them. I have no doubt he would "pass" again, but, really, is there any real value to passing a meaningless test? He consistently earns top scores on all classroom exams. He reads at an 8th grade level. He has nothing to prove, and I will not allow my 9 year old child to sit through more than 12 hours of tests to prove what we already know...he can read, write and do math at, at least, a 4th grade level. It is not kids like my son that I am concerned about. Other children are the ones hurt most by these tests. Like the little boy we know, who is one of the best math students in his grade, yet gets pulled from the classroom to attend mandatory remedial math instruction because of poor performance on last year's state tests. No one- not his parents, his teacher, or the remedial instructor-thinks this boy needs remedial instruction. Yet, it is mandatory because of a poorly written, ambiguous exam, that failed to test the concepts that the children were taught in the classroom. Many, many students are in similar situations. I am not against standardized tests in general. I allowed my son to take them last year and he performed well. Now that I realize how utterly meaningless the state tests are in their current form, and also just how many hours these poor little children are forced to sit through to take them, I am vehemently opposed to them. We have notified the school, in advance, of our decision to refuse the tests this year. I urge all parents to do the same. We will continue to refuse the tests every year, until the subject matter being tested actually has a real relationship to what the kids are being taught in the classroom, and until the 12 hour-long evaluation is reduced to a more reasonable length, one that 8 and 9 year olds can actually be expected to sit still and concentrate for.

This Common Core is a way for the government to control the education system like it wants to…Read More control health care. Check the constitution, Education is a reserved power of the state not delegated to the central government. State leaders (like Cuomo) get $$$$$ for taking part in this type of program. It isn't mandatory. Maybe if all the people who are complaining about this voted the right way in the first place we wouldnt have this problem, not to mention the teachers unions that help endorse Cuomo during his election. Bunch of hypocrites, the "chickens have come home to roost". You Lefties finally see the mistakes in your ways. (BTW im not a conservative) so dont get ready to make a "blame Bush" response to this email. Just think about who is pushing this CC agenda???
Regents Slow Down Common Core; Where Do You Stand?
Aidan April 13, 2014 at 05:56 am
Just trying to educate you … over and over again.
David April 13, 2014 at 02:18 pm
@Elsie I'll grant that it's a hard question for second grade. Students can show divisibility by…Read More showing 12 being split into 4 equal parts, and again into 6 equal parts, with a diagram, but I think few second graders would get this right. Any second grader who gets this right is showing unusual mathematical talent, or at least unusual advancement in meeting common core standards. Don't we want to allow such unusual talent to be recognized? Especially in elementary grades these days, there seems so little opportunity for it these days.
Elsie April 18, 2014 at 04:23 pm
@David -- Talent should be recognized by differentiating instruction. Those 2nd graders who can do…Read More this should, those who can't should be taught at a level that is more developmentally appropriate for them. There is very little room for enriching those students who should be or helping those students who need it using the Engage NY Modules. I am not a teacher but I have looked at the NY modules and the CC standards. I believe that teachers can address CC standards without the developmental inappropriateness of the NY requirements.
Common Core Under Fire from State Lawmakers
Robert Wingate March 3, 2014 at 07:53 pm
I have put two children through high school in several Westchester school districts, as well as…Read More having lived in Colorado where far few dollars were allocated for public education, to the great detriment of the systems and students in that state. I think the majority of the teachers our children have studied with, in both places, have been conscientious, intelligent and committed educators, and New York in particular has been blessed by high quality teaching in many of its schools. I think the schools could probably do a decent job working with the Common Core's emphasis on more rigorous thinking, if given the sufficient level of resources needed to train and support teachers in the course of the rollout. I do not have the sense that our state, with its often penny-wise and pound-foolish attitude toward holding back resources from school districts in need, such as by imposing a stifling property tax cap, has made this commitment in full, even as it has enforced the standardized evaluation measures that come with the curriculum. But I think local school districts are trying to catch up to the curriculum's demands. I wish them luck.
Harold1968 March 4, 2014 at 10:17 am
Robert, Taxpayers have been throwing money at the education system for decades while being told by…Read More the teachers union to "think of the children!". Ironically the more we give the teachers the worse our children do compared to the rest of the world. Taypayers are done with this charade. The tax cap is the only sanity in the county with the highest property taxes in America.

Sixteen days ago my wife and I started the week-long process of moving into a new apartment. Fifteen days ago my car died. This is the story of my quest to replace that car.
It's been said that the best place to start is at the beginning, but fuck that, I'll just tell you what happened.
The car in question is a 2004 Volkswagen Jetta GL. It isn't much, but it is mine and until recently it was pretty reliable. On that fateful night about two weeks ago I was getting off I-75 to pick up pizza for my wife, parents, and two of our friends who had been helping us move. It was to be our last night sleeping in the old place and I was feeling good; the new apartment was spacious, affordable, and best of all we had found a moving company whose rates were more than reasonable enough to justify hiring them so we didn't have to carry our heaviest stuff up to the third floor. The air was cool so my windows were down and the stereo was turned up. Life was good. This feeling was to be short-lived.
Anyone who drives a Volkswagen and has had the misfortune of having a dash light pop on knows just how well ze Germans know how to draw a driver's attention to the issue at hand. The piercing, high-pitched, triple beep that accompanied the oil pressure light literally made me jump off of my seat. It was impossible to miss even with Journey pumping through my speakers. Steve Perry's got nothing on VW emergency noises.
Cut to the next day when I ventured forth to AutoZone. On the way my CEL came on and the car died once while flashing the battery light. Great, now I've had the trifecta of pain in the space of twelve hours. I arrive at my destination and hurry inside to ask one of the employees to grab their ODB scanner so they can tell me what my car's dashboard can't. This is the point at which I become glad that my CEL came on because suddenly I start to wonder if the scanners that AutoZone uses can read anything other than CEL errors. Either way at least I'm going to get some information out of this trip.
So our friend (just for grins let's call him Manny) plugs the scanner in and pulls the error code. He's about to go inside to look up the English translation when I ask him if he'd like to hear it. "Sure, couldn't hurt." He replies, so I turn the engine over.
"It's a diesel?" He asks before we pop the hood. No, no Manny, this car is not a diesel.
Oh, I forgot to mention that in conjunction with the oil pressure light the engine started making an unholy racket so loud that Helen Keller would have perked up and asked what the fuck was going on. Anyway, we head inside to one of their registers where he pulls up the error code:
Troubleshooting P0011
OEM Brand: Volkswagen
"A" camshaft position- timing over-advanced or system performance- bank 1
Open or short circuit condition
Probable cause
1.- Poor electrical connection
2.- Failed camshaft actuator- resistance 10-20 ohms
3.- Blocked oil passage
Fuuuuuuu... Apparently that cacophony under the hood is probably the lifters and is likely terminal. Fantastic. I am now a brand new life form comprised entirely of rage.
I do not have the money to repair this. So what's a guy to do with a car that's only desire is to slowly commit suicide and on which he still owes a not-insignificant amount of money?
Welcome to my hunt for a new ride, a hunt that would quickly take an unexpected turn.

Dean Glenn Hubbard met with students in a town hall meeting on December 2 for a discussion on the state of the U.S. economy and career prospects for MBA students. The forum coincided with news from the National Bureau of Economic Research that the U.S. has been in a recession since last December.
A relatively deep recession will last through the middle of next year, predicted Dean Hubbard. He also discussed actions to bolster the economy, including fixing short-term lending, recapitalizing banks and stabilizing housing prices (see his plan developed with Professor Chris Mayer).
Dean Hubbard also voiced some optimism and pointed to market opportunities, including fixed-income securities. "The most senior secured loans," he said, "are yielding 17-18%. The refinancing in commercial real estate that is likely to happen will yield huge returns."
The Dean emphasized that MBAs entering the job market focus on where they want to be in five to seven years. He urged graduates to pursue activities and skills that will gradually advance them up their career ladder.
Looking forward to next year, Dean Hubbard said, "2009 is going to look a lot like 1933." In that year, a newly elected president Franklin Roosevelt took office in March and enacted a series of government measures which restored, at least temporarily, confidence in the shaken banking system. The year marked the end of a recession that lasted from 1929 to 1933, according to the NBER.

Granville Redmond (American, 1871-1935)
Patch of Poppies, 1912
Oil on canvas 26 in. x 36 in. (66.04 cm x 91.44 cm)
Crocker Art Museum, Melza and Ted Barr Collection2010.2.1
Granville Redmond produced a body of work that captured California's diverse topography, vegetation, and color. Born in Philadelphia, he was deafened by scarlet fever as a toddler. Soon after, the family moved to San Jose, California, and in 1879 he became a student at the California School for the Deaf in Berkeley, where he studied under artists Theophilus Hope d'Estrella and Douglas Tilden. He also studied at the California School of Design in San Francisco under Raymond Dabb Yelland, Amédée Joullin, and Arthur Mathews. Mathews in particular influenced Redmond's early work in its tonal palette and compositional simplicity. Redmond then continued his studies at the Académie Julian in Paris. After more than four years in France, he returned to California and settled in Los Angeles in 1898. Though he was saddened to leave France, Redmond was inspired by the beauty of the California landscape. Many of his landscape paintings were in subdued tones, depicting land and sea at twilight or under softening veils of mist. The artist himself preferred to paint such scenes, but his poppy subjects were his most popular. In many early works, as in the painting Patch of Poppies, he managed to combine both impulses by including flowers in tonal settings. Many of Redmond's colleagues felt that these introspective, tonal paintings elicited a sense of quietude informed both by his deafness and his contemplative nature. For others, the riotous color of his purely Impressionist works seemed to evoke his "great capacity for happiness."1

Capacity Management As You Know it is Dead: How Top Financial Services Organizations Are Managing Virtual & Cloud Infrastructure
Capacity management may not be quite dead, but the days of making periodic decisions using trending models are. Financial services organizations are radically changing how they plan and manage infrastructure to cope with the complexity of large-scale virtual and cloud environments and prevent the over-provisioning that results from old school planning models. The focus has shifted toward approaches that model demand "pipelines" and forecast based on capacity bookings, which more resembles a hotel reservation system than traditional capacity management. This is creating a whole new operational model that enables infrastructure planners, application owners and capacity teams to measure, control and plan for the constant flow of workloads in and out of an environment (on-boarding and de-commissioning), as well as organic growth (trending), all while optimizing workload placements and resource allocations to ensure optimal use of available capacity.

Solvency at Risk: Outdated technology failing the buy-side
What does your firm own? What are your portfolios worth? How big is your exposure? Answers to these questions are key to managing your firm's solvency. However when 56% of the North American buy-side lack confidence in their current accounting systems; 30% admit it would take days or weeks to calculate exposure across all holdings; 40% concede investments decisions are made using poor quality data; it's time to ask if outdated technology is failing the buy-side. Join us for this 60 minute webinar and gain insight on:
Live Event: How Market Participants Can Prevent and Respond To Technology Errors In Real-Time
On October 2, the SEC is holding a market technology roundtable focusing on best practices to ensure adequate testing and use of software systems. The SEC is hoping to determine out the best way to respond to errors in the marketplace, given the speed with which a single error can snowball into market mayhem. Following a number of incidents this year, including Nasdaq's botched Facebook IPO, BATS' failed IPO and Knight Capital's $400 million software disaster, market structure and software testing has become an even higher priority for market participants.
Delivering optimized outcomes with advanced case management at Union Bank
How labor and document intensive are your organization's back office processes? Banks have embarked on initiatives to automate and streamline these processes. Some operations, however, have inherent complexities that require new approaches. After struggling with custom applications to support its personal and corporate customers, Union Bank found itself buried in paper for multiple processes, backoffice rework, branch bags, and unable to track work being completed. These challenges led to extensive rework, manual tracking, and compliance risks.
How Insurers Can Future Proof Their Next Customer Communication Management Investment
As insurance companies grapple with a number of high-priority challenges - including constantly changing regulations, the emergence of new channels such as mobile and social media, and the need to improve customer engagement and retention – the need for a modern, integrated and flexible customer communications management (CCM) system has never been so acute. Because insurers' ability to produce and distribute targeted, relevant multichannel customer communications have been hampered by siloed legacy systems that cannot meet today's demands for speed, scalability and flexibility, the industry has seen increased investment in new CCM-related systems. However, due to restrictions in the scope of capabilities of some of these offerings, or adoption of limited "use case" focused solutions, many insurers end up perpetuating the "legacy cycle" due to inevitable future migration or upgrade requirements.
HFT Under Attack: Using Big Data to Find New Trading Correlations and Opportunities
High-frequency trading (HFT) has been in the spotlight recently as market participants have debated the value of HFT for investors. While only a certain number of players compete at the ultra-low latency level, many other players are taking advantage of technologies utilizing models and strategies that leverage new data sets as well as more types of information. For instance, many firms are using Big Data technologies, coupled with complex event processing (CEP) and in-memory data analytics engines to uncover new trading opportunities. Big Data, which collects and brings in various newer types of data such as mobile tracking data and web search histories, can help traders and portfolio managers uncover the next trend or up and coming company. But how can market participants take advantage of Big Data without increasing latency or breaking the bank. Join Ivy Schmerken, editor-at-large for Wall Street & Technology, Dushyant Shahrawat, senior analyst at TowerGroup, and SAP/Sybase for an editorial webcast that will focus on the opportunities when it comes using Big Data in a trading strategy.
Terms of Transformation: Rethinking Core Policy System Replacement
Decades of experience have made insurers wary of legacy policy administration replacement initiatives due to highly publicized failures. In recent years modern rules-and-tools systems have gone a long way toward mitigating the risks associated with traditional, monolithic systems while providing increased flexibility and product speed-to-market. Nevertheless, insurers continue to struggle to separate hype from reality in vendor promises and to make sense of an emerging range of options, from best-of-breed and componentized suites to emerging cloud-based delivery options. In order to be able to make a compelling business case today, insurance executives must not only understand the merits of available solution options and implementation approaches, but also think more in terms of business, rather than technology, transformation as enabled through the construction of a holistic technology environment.
Getting Answers from Mobile Initiatives
It's safe to say that mobility is 'table stakes' for insurers. But attached to each nifty new application or tablet experience are two major questions: How effective is this, and how can we be sure? Establishing a library of major mobile benchmarks and metrics is important in making the business case for further mobile investment. Additionally, senior insurance executives will be looking for sophisticated strategies to develop and maintain newly implemented mobile initiatives.
Managing the Data Deluge, the Pros and Pitfalls of Solid-State Storage
As databases continue to expand at an exponential rate, financial organizations are challenged to find ways to efficiently analyze the data in a timely manner. With no end in the proliferation of data, how can firms use all of the data in their data warehouses? Just storing the data doesn't provide any value. Analyzing the data for better customer service, new products or to respond to regulatory queries is how firms can get more value from their data. But given all of the business challenges, how can IT organizations respond to the data analytics needs from various business units without adding massive amounts of CPU processing power?
How to Pick a Winning Content Management System
Gaining control and quick access to paper documents, e-mails, electronic forms and more can help you make better policy and claims decisions, speed up customer service and streamline. But how do you choose the right content management system?
Onboarding in Retail: Lots of paperwork -- but lots of potential, too.
Every new hire is a new opportunity to grow your retail store sales. Smart retailers, however, know that there's more to staffing than just adding names to the work schedule. Stores that find the best talent, bring them onboard quickly, and make a significant investment in brand training, are those who are winning the battle for shoppers' hearts and wallets.
Is Your Finance, Risk and Regulatory Strategy Fractured? Providing Value by Converging Finance, Risk and Compliance Information
Financial services firms are reshaping how their finance, risk, compliance and treasury department processes, information and infrastructures are aligned. External mandates have established the requirements, and business pressures have forced reaction. Does your firm understand the impacts of its financial and treasury decisions related to customers, transactions, or asset investments? Are conventional accounting (ledger), financing (capital), and treasury (cash/liquidity) practices yielding the desired outcomes while minimizing your firm's risk exposure? These decisions are determining the course and success of strategies. Be it banking, capital markets or insurance, all financial firms will need to rely on their best information to make the best decision.
