Trip's Conkeldurr is the sixth and most recently known Pokémon on Trip's team.
It first appeared as a Timburr in Ash and Trip's Third Battle!. It fought against Ash's Oshawott, manifesting its Strength and Low Sweep attacks, withut tang asingle hit, but was knocked out by a single Razor Shell after its DynamicPunch failed.
At the first round of the Don Battle Tournament, it was revealed to have evolved into a Gurdurr prior to Cilan Versus Trip, Ash Versus Georgia!, where it battled against Cilan's Dwebble. It took control of the battle and dodged every single attack Dwebble had, while striking back with everything he had, which even cracked Dwebble's shell. However, after being seperated from his steel beam, he was defeated by a single Slash.
It appeared in it's final stage as Conkeldurr in The Clubsplosion Begins! and was revealed to have evolved prior to this episode.
In Searching for the Clubultimate!, he battled Bianca's Emboar in the preliminary matchups. He easily blocked all of Emboar's attacks, and then used his concrete pillars to smash him with Strength. It then used Bulk Up, followed by Rock Tomb, to both damage and trap Emboar. Emboar tried to brake free with Arm Thrust, but it was useless. As the episode ended, Conkeldurr launched a powerful Stone Edge on an exhausted Emboar to seemingly end it. In the next episode, Emboar survived the hit and tried to throw the stones back. Conkeldurr still maintained control of the battle and batted them back, hurting Emboar, but he came through and snatched Conkeldurr's concrete pillars. He was then easily defeated when Emboar threw the pillars back with Fling.

- Though Conkeldurr has an impressive moveset, he has an extremely low endurance for all its battles; it was defeated by one attack. As a Timburr he was defeated by one razor shell from Ash's Oshawott. As a Gurdurr it was defeated by one rock slide and slash attacks (each). As a Conkeldurr it was defeated just by having its pillars thrown at it. And in all three battles he remained untouched for most of it and did major damage to the foe throughout most of the battle, but lost horribly in the end.
- Furthermore, every loss was because he got seperated from his weapon, a wood/steel/concrete pillar(s). As a Timburr he left it to use DynamicPunch, as a Gurdurr, he was unable to reach it due to Rock Slide containing him, and as a Conkeldurr they were snatched away from him.
- From Facing Fear With Eyes Wide Open! to Iris and the Rogue Dragonite! (a span of 65 episodes) Conkelldurr was the only known Pokemon on Trip's party. However, he has not been used after Servine's debut as a Serperior.

Mitchell Miller, wtop.com
WASHINGTON – The Nationals have made history and are on their way to the playoffs, but a new WTOP Beltway Poll finds that the Redskins are still the fan favorite in the Washington area.
When asked to pick their favorite local team, 35 percent report the Redskins are their favorite while 18 percent say the Nationals, followed by the Capitals at 8 percent.
If a Nationals playoff game and a Redskins game were to take place at the same time, 56 percent say they would watch the Redskins while less than one third (31 percent) would tune in to the Nats.
The poll, conducted by Heart+Mind Strategies, also shows Redskins head coach Mike Shanahan has a much higher favorable rating than owner Dan Snyder among Redskin fans. About 83 percent of Redskins fans approve of Shanahan, compared to 54 percent of Snyder. Thirty-nine percent disapprove of the job Snyder is doing, including 23 percent who strongly disapprove.
While the Redskins remain the most popular team in the region, the survey shows sports fans follow several teams.
Asked what area teams they tend to follow, people responded:
Close to a third of those surveyed (34 percent) have gone to a Nationals game in the past year, compared to 19 percent who have attended a Redskins game. That was followed by 16 percent for the Capitals, 14 percent who have gone to an Orioles game and 12 percent who have attended a Wizards game.
Among Nationals followers, 51 percent agree with the team's decision to shut down Stephen Strasburg, who is coming off of Tommy John surgery. Thirty percent disagree with the decision, which will keep him from pitching during the playoffs.
Most area residents (84 percent) believe Metro should run past its regular midnight closing time, when a Nationals game runs late. The question was asked before Metro announced that the company LivingSocial had agreed to pick up the costs, after negotiations that stretched over months between Metro and the District.
Some playoff games could last until close to midnight or beyond, since they will start later than the regular season 7:05 p.m. Nationals night game. The Nationals are the first Washington Major League team to make the playoffs in 79 years. The Senators made the playoffs in 1933.
The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 4.17 percent.
Editor's Note: The D.C. metro phone survey was conducted by Heart+Mind Strategies among 550 adults age 18 and over, between Sept. 13 and Sept. 20, 2012. This included representative samples of 200 people in Virginia (Arlington, Fairfax, Fauquier, Loudoun, Prince William, Spotsylvania, Stafford) 250 in Maryland (Anne Arundel, Calvert, Charles, Frederick, Montgomery, Prince George's and 100 in D.C.

I love all of these photographs which create great mood, not just about fashion, but about an era 'hors-temps'. Very creative. My only reservation is the leather biker jacket/goth look which I doesn't match the model's persona at all.

RMS Current
RMS is an abbreviation for the 'root mean square' mathematical process of determining the effective value of an alternating current. The RMS or effective value of a current is by definition such that the heating effect is the same for equal values of alternating- or direct-current. However, the wattage found by multiplying the average voltage by the average current is not the same as the RMS voltage times the RMS current for pulsating direct-current. The product of average voltage and average current in a pulsating direct-current circuit is sometimes called 'DC watts.'

James Sorensen was arrested in July for openly carrying a gun in a city park.
According to KRDO-TV ( http://tinyurl.com/cw3la6r), Sorensen was detained, handcuffed and put in a holding cell for an hour following his arrest.
The officers were apparently unaware that it's legal to open carry in city parks and has been since gun laws changed statewide in 2003.
In November, police completed an internal review on the arrest and officials said policy violations were discovered and appropriate administrative action was taken.

While I attest to having a fascination with the art and park-like beauty of many cemeteries, working in the local history room has given me an even greater appreciation for them as a tool in genealogical and local history research. Many times, a tombstone provides just the clue needed to fill in a blank or push the research in a different direction. But with around 70 cemeteries and burial grounds in Kalamazoo County, tracking down a gravesite can sometimes be a challenge.
Over the years, individuals and groups like the DAR and the Kalamazoo Valley Genealogical Society have published books of cemetery records and tombstone inscriptions for various cemeteries and we have those in the local history collection. In more recent years there have also been some very ambitious projects launched on the Internet that provide burial/tombstone information - and many times even photos of individual stones. The problem is that no one set of books or single website has everything for all the cemeteries in the area.
In response to this issue, the Library has launched Cemeteries of Kalamazoo. This collection of web pages locates all the known cemeteries and burial grounds in Kalamazoo County and identifies all the sources – both print and online – for burial and tombstone data for each individual cemetery. You can search for the information by township or with the Cemeteries A-Z index.
As with many of our projects, this is a work in progress and we intend to update and expand as more information comes our way. So be sure to let us know if we've missed anything or you know of a new source and we'll promise to keep this a tool that will be useful for years to come.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution Director's Cut
Deus Ex: Human Revolution was quite the accomplishment when it was released. It wasn't everything an old-school Deus Ex fan could ask for (those boss fights), but it was a very reasonable compromise, and a great game in its own right.
Fast forward over two years later, and the Director's Cut is now gracing the twilight of the current console era, with new content and improved visuals in tow. While I'm not quite sure those extras are enough to sway fans who have already beaten the game from top to bottom, the good news is it's still the same great game we all enjoyed back in 2011.... read more

These books include your personal message printed on a bookplate sticker that is also signed by Bill. Please note that this means that the book will not ship to you for 2-4 WEEKS.
Bill's first non-fiction #1 best-seller, The O'Reilly Factor, changed modern political journalism for the better.
The million-copy New York Times bestseller from the Fox TV News and Westwood One radio anchor brought new excitement "and massive amounts of populist common sense and rock-solid honesty" to the modern news arena.
Obviously, Bill made his mark on the publishing world with The O'Reilly Factor: It sold over a million copies and spent fourteen weeks at the top of the New York Times bestseller list!
Bill's straight-talking, ironic, no-holds-barred style has earned him a devoted audience with friends and foes alike. With the wit and intelligence that have made him one of the most talked-about stars in television, radio and publishing, in this great book Bill continues to identify what's right, what's wrong, and what's absurd in the political, social, economic, and cultural life of America.
Here's some of what the media has had to say about The O'Reilly Factor :
"A lot of people love Bill O'Reilly, you see. Then again, a lot of people would like to punch Bill O'Reilly in the nose. The joke's on them, though. Bill O'Reilly, this brash New York guy with a brash show and a brash book, is becoming a huge media star." - New York Observer
"He is a complicated man, at once belligerent and self-effacing, ambitious and determined to remain humble. He can be a loudmouth but also companionable. He is Everyman on a barstool, mad as hell, but with a wink." - Newsweek
"This book bristles with assumptions, assessments, and attitudes that will either have you bobbing your head in agreement or shaking it in disbelief. No wonder O?Reilly?s ratings are rising the way the stocks once did." - Forbes
"Personal anecdote meets political discourse in [The O?Reilly Factor] where O'Reilly is in a pure, heartfelt state. He's softhearted and enraged in equal measures. He's hard-driven and bemused by where his drive got him. He's the male sphinx as TV blabbermouth." - James Ellroy, GQ

Who is Slender Man? 12-year-old Wisconsin girls say they stabbed to please fictional 'Slender Man'
Prosecutors say two 12-year-old southeastern Wisconsin girls stabbed their 12-year-old friend nearly to death in the woods to please a mythological creature they learned about online.
Both girls were charged as adults with first-degree attempted homicide Monday in Waukesha County Circuit Court; they each face up to 60 years in prison if convicted. A court commissioner set bail at $500,000 cash per child. According to a criminal complaint, the girls had been planning to kill their friend for months and finally made the attempt in a park on Saturday morning, after a slumber party.
One of the girls told a detective they were trying to become "proxies" of Slender Man, a mythological demon-like character they learned about on creepypasta.wikia.com, a website about horror stories and legends. They planned to run away to the demon's forest mansion after the slaying, the complaint said.
MORE: Scroll down to find out more about Slender Man.
"I recognize their young ages but it's still unbelievable," Court Commissioner Thomas Pieper said during one of the girls' initial court appearances Monday.
The victim suffered 19 stab wounds; one missed a major artery near her heart by a millimeter, doctors told police. She was in stable condition Monday. The court documents did not provide her name.
The Associated Press isn't naming either girl who is charged because at least one of their attorneys plans to pursue moving her case into juvenile court, where proceedings are secret.
Both girls appeared in court wearing shackles and jail jumpsuits. They were surrounded by sheriff's bailiffs, who towered over them. Family members of one of the girls wept openly as reporters snapped photographs. The other girl's family sat stone-faced.
According to the criminal complaint, one of the girls told an investigator they began planning to kill their friend in December. The other girl told police they decided to kill her so they could become proxies of Slender Man, who would accept them and let them live with him in his mansion in the Nicolet National Forest.
The other girl said she sees Slender Man in her dreams. She said he watches her and can read her mind and teleport.
"It's extremely disturbing as a parent and as chief of police," Waukesha Police Chief Russell Jack said at a news conference ahead of the court appearances Monday.
The girls invited their friend to a slumber party on Friday evening, the complaint said. They planned to kill her during the night so they wouldn't have to look into her eyes, one girl told police, and then run away. They decided to put it off, but the next day, during a hide-and-seek game in a wooded park, they attacked their friend with a knife. One girl told the other to "go ballistic, go crazy," according to the complaint.
The victim began to scream that she hated them and started stumbling away, one of the girls told police.
The girls left the victim lying in the woods. She crawled to a road where a bicyclist found her lying on the sidewalk. Police arrived and she gave them the name of one of the girls who attacked her.
She was rushed into surgery, police said.
One of the girl's attorneys, Donna Kuchler, asked Pieper to remove reporters from the courtroom because she planned to attempt to get her client waived into juvenile court. Pieper refused. Kuchler escorted the girl's family out of the courtroom, telling reporters only that the family was horrified at what happened.
The other girl's attorney, Joseph Smith Jr., led her family out of court. He declined to comment.
Both girls are due back in court on June 11 for a status conference.
EDITOR'S NOTE: The Slender Man (or Slenderman) is a fictional character. The strange paranormal creature is often described as unusually tall, dressed in a black suit, white shirt and black tie. He has long, thin arms and legs, and his face is completely blank.
According to the growing legend, Slender Man can stretch or shorten his arms at will and has tentacle-like appendages protruding from his back. His mere presence can cause memory loss, insomnia, paranoia, nosebleeds and coughing fits.

May 6, 2016
Imagine being 14-years old, speaking a different language, and completely on your own? That's how a local farmer's journey began almost 30 years ago after he crossed the Mexican border looking to provide for his family.
Today Dino Infante owns his own farm, and is considered one of the best success stories in Greene County.
Infante's journey started nearly 30-years ago when he crossed the Mexican border into Texas. Four-years later Infante made his way to Eastern Carolina and met his future business partner, Buzz Shackelford.
Shackelford says, "Dino just came to help me cause they were looking for a job, he and a friend of his. And they were literally living in a car."
By 1997, about 14-years after first coming here, Infante became a legal U.S. citizen. Infante says, "In those years it wasn't so difficult to get legal. Now, it's real difficult, but in those years, they didn't ask you for so much."
After already working for Shackelford, in 2010 Infante went to the Farm Service Agency, where he took out loans, so he could start running his own farm.
Today, he runs Infante Farm, and partners with Shackelford.
In the words of Shackelford, Infante is the ultimate success story. Shackelford says, "It was difficult for him I'm sure, but he took his time and he did it the right way. So, it can be done."
The Farm Service Agency tells us if Infante continues to pay off his loans and build his credit, they'll be ready to graduate him from their program within a year. The typical start-up farmer takes 7-years, Infante would be done in four.

38 U.S. Code § 5301 - Nonassignability and exempt status of benefits
prev | next
(1) Payments of benefits due or to become due under any law administered by the Secretary shall not be assignable except to the extent specifically authorized by law, and such payments made to, or on account of, a beneficiary shall be exempt from taxation, shall be exempt from the claim of creditors, and shall not be liable to attachment, levy, or seizure by or under any legal or equitable process whatever, either before or after receipt by the beneficiary. The preceding sentence shall not apply to claims of the United States arising under such laws nor shall the exemption therein contained as to taxation extend to any property purchased in part or wholly out of such payments. The provisions of this section shall not be construed to prohibit the assignment of insurance otherwise authorized under chapter 19 of this title, or of servicemen's indemnity.
(2) For the purposes of this subsection, in any case where a payee of an educational assistance allowance has designated the address of an attorney-in-fact as the payee's address for the purpose of receiving a benefit check and has also executed a power of attorney giving the attorney-in-fact authority to negotiate such benefit check, such action shall be deemed to be an assignment and is prohibited.
(A) This paragraph is intended to clarify that, in any case where a beneficiary entitled to compensation, pension, or dependency and indemnity compensation enters into an agreement with another person under which agreement such other person acquires for consideration the right to receive such benefit by payment of such compensation, pension, or dependency and indemnity compensation, as the case may be, except as provided in subparagraph (B), and including deposit into a joint account from which such other person may make withdrawals, or otherwise, such agreement shall be deemed to be an assignment and is prohibited.
(B) Notwithstanding subparagraph (A), nothing in this paragraph is intended to prohibit a loan involving a beneficiary under the terms of which the beneficiary may use the benefit to repay such other person as long as each of the periodic payments made to repay such other person is separately and voluntarily executed by the beneficiary or is made by preauthorized electronic funds transfer pursuant to the Electronic Funds Transfers Act (15 U.S.C. 1693 et seq.).
(b) This section shall prohibit the collection by setoff or otherwise out of any benefits payable pursuant to any law administered by the Secretary and relating to veterans, their estates, or their dependents, of any claim of the United States or any agency thereof against
(2) any beneficiary or the beneficiary's estate except amounts due the United States by such beneficiary or the beneficiary's estate by reason of overpayments or illegal payments made under such laws to such beneficiary or the beneficiary's estate or to the beneficiary's dependents as such. If the benefits referred to in the preceding sentence are insurance payable by reason of yearly renewable term insurance, United States Government life insurance, or National Service Life Insurance issued by the United States, the exemption provided in this section shall not apply to indebtedness existing against the particular insurance contract upon the maturity of which the claim is based, whether such indebtedness is in the form of liens to secure unpaid premiums or loans, or interest on such premiums or loans, or indebtedness arising from overpayments of dividends, refunds, loans, or other insurance benefits.
(1) Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, the Secretary may, after receiving a request under paragraph (2) of this subsection relating to a veteran, collect by offset of any compensation or pension payable to the veteran under laws administered by the Secretary the uncollected portion of the amount of any indebtedness associated with the veteran's participation in a plan prescribed in chapter 73 of title 10.
(2) If the Secretary concerned (as defined in section 101 (5) of title 37) has tried under section 3711 (a) of title 31 to collect an amount described in paragraph (1) of this subsection in the case of any veteran, has been unable to collect such amount, and has determined that the uncollected portion of such amount is not collectible from amounts payable by that Secretary to the veteran or that the veteran is not receiving any payment from that Secretary, that Secretary may request the Secretary to make collections in the case of such veteran as authorized in paragraph (1) of this subsection.
(A) A collection authorized by paragraph (1) of this subsection shall be conducted in accordance with the procedures prescribed in section 3716 of title 31 for administrative offset collections made after attempts to collect claims under section 3711(a) of such title.
(B) For the purposes of subparagraph (A) of this paragraph, as used in the second sentence of section 3716 (a) of title 31—
(i) the term "records of the agency" shall be considered to refer to the records of the department of the Secretary concerned; and
(d) Notwithstanding subsection (a) of this section, payments of benefits under laws administered by the Secretary shall not be exempt from levy under subchapter D of chapter 64 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (26 U.S.C. 6331 et seq.).
(e) In the case of a person who—
(1) has been determined to be eligible to receive pension or compensation under laws administered by the Secretary but for the receipt by such person of pay pursuant to any provision of law providing retired or retirement pay to members or former members of the Armed Forces or commissioned officers of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration or of the Public Health Service; and
(2) files a waiver of such pay in accordance with section 5305 of this title in the amount of such pension or compensation before the end of the one-year period beginning on the date such person is notified by the Secretary of such person's eligibility for such pension or compensation,
the retired or retirement pay of such person shall be exempt from taxation, as provided in subsection (a) of this section, in an amount equal to the amount of pension or compensation which would have been paid to such person but for the receipt by such person of such pay.

I'll be in
Many of us were first drawn to map-making through the inspiration of maps from fantasy (or sci-fi) novels we were reading. Well this month's challenge is to create or re-envision a map from a published fantasy or sci-fi novel. The map must include a title, but otherwise you have artistic license as to how to present the map.
Title each new thread July 2013 Entry - <your title>
Precede each WIP image with the tag ### Latest WIP ###.
The challenge will end on or around the first of August, and the winner will receive a golden compass, an enviable accolade here at the Guild.
Yep, I think I've got have a go at this. Maybe I'll even finish it...
One Win, Twi fails, now I should be on my lucky month again. I am in, with the World of the Novels of the Malazan Empire (Which inspires Arden to a great deal)
I've not been well lately but I am tempted to try and map the city of Camorr from the Lies of Locke Lamora. I do like city maps.
Dont do. I still like to have a winning chance
Kidding. Would love to see more of you Larb. Your cities are a source of inspiration for me.
Well if it fits this descriptor - "this month's challenge is to create or re-envision a map from a published fantasy or sci-fi novel" - then I can't see why not. I believe there needs to be a chance that someone else might have read it.

I just did Middle Earth and the map from the Wheel of Time series. I might try and to a local map, but I haven't read anything mapworthy in a while either. I'm in a similar boat as Freehand5.5. Problem is, I'm unpublished

Keep your money
It's entirely possible that you will enjoy this game. The critics sure seemed to. But I didn't. I didn't absolutely hate it, and if nothing else, it definitely succeeded in being mysterious. But I certainly have no interest in playing it a second time.
There is such a thing as too minimalist and too abstract, and I think that's where Kairo has unfortunately landed itself. There's too much "nothing" to navigate to even get to the puzzles in the first place; the setting is far too open considering how little you get out of exploring it. The puzzles were very poorly designed, uninspired and lackluster. Unfortunately Kairo's setting worked *against* the the puzzles and good puzzle design in general, even though it needn't have. This was all the more disappointing to me considering how well-made Richard Perrin's debut game "the white chamber" was.
The hint system is also badly executed. The hints always seem to go from "not helpful" to "still not helpful" to "let's just basically tell you the answer and ruin it for you".
For those of you who have played Antichamber, allow me to draw a comparison: Antichamber succeeded where Kairo failed. Antichamber is inspired, inspiring, powerful, elegant, and unforgettable. Kairo, though it tried hard, is *none* of those things. If I try, I can recall moments that felt awe-inspiring at the time; but they have not stuck with me. They were forgettable, as was most of this game.

Log in
This month we sit down with Mitch Wilson, Executive Director of Pretty Lake Camp.
Tell us how you got to where you are today (positions held, career shifts, etc)
I "grew up" in the corporate environment as an IT professional and manager most of my career. Most of my time was spent with Pfizer and its legacy companies (Pharmacia, Upjohn) along with being an independent consultant. In 2008, I was part of the "right sizing" effort locally, which opened up a number of new opportunities for me. I had two criteria in re-evaluating my career – I wanted to find an organization that I feel I could add value to and also have a passion for work every day. Pretty Lake Camp was looking for a new Executive Director at that time. They took a bit of a chance on me as I wasn't a "typical" non-profit leader. I like to think it was a good move for both of us.
What do you most love about the Kalamazoo community?
I grew up in Kalamazoo and also have spent most of my adult life here. There is just so much opportunity here and the commitment to make the community thrive is fantastic. The Promise, WMU, Kalamazoo College – it is such a great learning community, and the revival of downtown has been awesome to watch. There is a lot of upside to our great community.
What guides or principles do you rely most upon?
It has to be the Golden Rule – especially since the summer staff this year presented me with the Golden Rule award. Treat others well, respect what others do, and in return, you will be treated well. Be honest and truthful. Every summer, I hand out "The Golden Rule in Practice" to our staff which is a list of phrases of how to personally conduct yourself. My two favorites are the last two on the list: "If it will brighten someone's day, say it", and "If you can help someone, do it."
Who was one of your mentors and what do you carry with you from that relationship?
My parents and my wife Sarah. My parents taught me to be positive, help others when you can, and that the glass is always half full. Sarah taught me about passion for a career and helping children. She was a phenomenal educator as a middle school math teacher (now retired) – very creative, great sense of humor, yet held her students accountable. She inspired me to take my current role at Pretty Lake.
What are the types of challenges/opportunities that keep you up at night?
Where ever you work, whether it's a for-profit or non-profit, it's always about the people in the organization. It's being able to understand not only how a person fits in the organization, but how their personal life impacts their work. It's very satisfying to see people in your organization have success, but also very hard when a person doesn't work out or doesn't fit. Building a good, cohesive team takes time, energy, and patience, and the willingness to listen and coach people in your organization.
How do you stay up-to-date on latest trends in your field?
ONEplace and The Johnson Center in Grand Rapids are two of my favorite organizations. The education and training provided by each at a great price (free at ONEplace) are great resources for our community. I also just try to network with other leaders to find out what works – and doesn't work for each of them. The Michigan Nonprofit Association and their annual conference is another great resource.
Advice for those wishing to have a long lasting career in the nonprofit sector?
Probably because of my background, I don't like to differentiate between the "for profit" and "nonprofit" sectors. It's true that the revenue sources are different, but at the end of the day, it's about managing people, functions, and financials with your available resources. My advice is to think a little more out of the box and use good ideas from wherever they come from.
What do you geek?
As I have my whole life, I still play golf competitively and enjoy the challenges that it brings. Over the last couple of years, I have taken on triathlons as very much a beginner. I also really love to scuba dive.

GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools rating is a simple tool for parents to compare schools based on test scores, student academic growth, and college readiness. It compares schools across the state, where the highest rated schools in the state are designated as "Above Average" and the lowest "Below Average." It is designed to be a starting point to help parents make baseline comparisons. We always advise parents to visit the school and consider other information on school performance and programs, as well as consider their child's and family's needs as part of the school selection process.
Rating Breakdown
|Test score rating
|The test score rating examines how students at this school performed on standardized tests compared with other schools in the state. This rating is based off of 2013-14 WSAS test results.
|Student growth rating
|The student growth rating measures whether students at this school are making academic progress over time. Specifically, the rating looks at how much progress individual students have made on reading and math assessments during the past year or more. This rating is based off of student improvement scores from 2012-13 School Report Cards from the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction.
MethodologyView more details about the GreatSchools rating
About this data: Learn More »
- SchoolGrades.org uses a rigorous, common standard to compare schools across the United States. It adjusts for differences in academic standards across the states and accounts for each school's unique economic profile. School letter grades are based on how well students perform based on an international standard of excellence.
The bar charts below tell what percentage of students are performing at or above grade-level.

About the test
GreatSchools' ratings currently reflect 2012-13 testing data.
Beginning in the 2012-2013 school year, the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction implemented new definitions of what it means to be proficient on the WSAS test. As a result of these changes, proficiency scores for Wisconsin schools are lower than they were in previous years.

WASHINGTON (WUSA) -- Black Friday is about a week away and we already have a fairly good handle on the deals you'll find in stores and online. This is not only for next Friday, but for Thanksgiving night as well.
The big retailers are rolling out some big changes this year.
Walmart is offering SAME-DAY shipping in select cities. Northern Virginia is part of the demo. Toys R US will allow you to purchase something online, and pay for it in the store. And, you can reserve their "hot toys" ahead of time and pick them up on Black Friday. Macy's releases it's Black Friday ads this week, but you have to download the Macy's app to get them. Target on the other hand, has already put their specials on Facebook. And, Kohls, will have QR codes on shelves. They allow you to scan, purchase and ship an item to your home while in the store.
Here is a planning guide so you know when you can get shopping for the traditionally deep discounts after Thanksgiving dinner. Walmart, Sears and Toys R Us will lead the charge with store openings, at 8 p.m. They are followed by Target at 9 p.m.
Then at the stroke of midnight, a host of other stores, like Macy's, Kohl's, Best Buy and many shopping malls will open their doors. On top of that, a small group of retailers like Kmart and many Old Navy stores, will be open during the day on Thanksgiving.

- Abstract
- We demonstrate direct three-dimensional (3-D) microfabrication inside a volume of silica glass. The whole fabrication process was carried out in two steps:(i) writing of the preprogrammed 3-D pattern inside silica glass by focused femtosecond (fs) laser pulses and (ii) etching of the written structure in a 5% aqueous solution of HF acid. This technique allows fabrication of 3-D channels as small as 10μm in diameter inside the volume with any angle of interconnection and a high aspect ratio (10μm -diameter channels in a 100μm -thick silica slab).

One symptom of anxiety and panic attacks that some people don't seem to take too seriously is feeling cold.
As a response to the stress, your temperature can start to rise but at the same time you feel cold until your body senses it's warm enough. Feeling the chills or rigor occurs because you're effectively shivering in a physiological attempt to increase your body temperature to the new level.
Comparing this anxiety disorder symptom to say something like chest pain may seem to some little ridiculous. But the truth is it's just another way that your body responds when under stress.
