The Politics of Education: 2010 MEAP Scores Reveal Significant Achievement Gaps Between Elementary Schools in A2
At the end of March, the Michigan Department of Education released MEAP scores for the state's elementary and middle schools. The data is a treasure trove for those who enjoy sifting through such information. Test scores impact districts' curricula and often determine what a particular school will "focus" on academically. For example, a school with high numbers of students who test as "not proficient" in writing will develop strategies to deal with the problem.
The latest MEAP scores reveal that significant achievement gaps are a problem in the Ann Arbor Public Schools, where the District collects $.28 cents of every property tax dollar paid, and, together with state money, spends about $12,000 per year per student. Schools in Washtenaw County spend about half a billion dollars each year educating about 50,000 students total. As it turns out, in Ann Arbor and Washtenaw County, like in most Districts around the county, relatively little of that money is spent on figuring out which which teachers are effective and why. This, in part, is why it's possible that two elementary schools in Ann Arbor—schools that are less than 1 mile apart—have MEAP results that are miles apart.
There is currently a debate raging nation-wide about whether teacher compensation and even continued employment should be predicated (in whole or in part) on student test scores. In Los Angeles, the newspaper stunned District parents and infuriated the leadership of one of the largest and most politically powerful education unions in the country, the United Teachers of Los Angeles, by compiling and analyzing several years of test scores, matching up the test scores with the individual teachers in the District and putting a searchable database of the information online. Parents (or anyone) could type in the name of a teacher, and see whether students taught by that individual showed progress as measured by standardized tests administered by the State of California.
The original August 2010 article on The L.A. Times web site has been shared close to 7,000 times on Facebook since it was published.
The article begins: "Yet year after year, one fifth-grade class learns far more than the other down the hall. The difference has almost nothing to do with the size of the class, the students or their parents. It's their teachers. Seeking to shed light on the problem, The Times obtained seven years of math and English test scores from the Los Angeles Unified School District and used the information to estimate the effectiveness of L.A. teachers — something the district could do but has not. The Times used a statistical approach known as value-added analysis, which rates teachers based on their students' progress on standardized tests from year to year."
The article enraged the local teachers' union leadership, which launched a boycott of The L.A. Times, and demanded that the paper take down the searchable database. It's easy to see why the union leaders became upset. The piece doesn't mince words:
In Los Angeles and across the country, education officials have long known of the often huge disparities among teachers. They've seen the indelible effects, for good and ill, on children. But rather than analyze and address these disparities, they have opted mostly to ignore them. Most districts act as though one teacher is about as good as another. As a result, the most effective teachers often go unrecognized, the keys to their success rarely studied. Ineffective teachers often face no consequences and get no extra help.
Value-added analysis rates teachers based on their students' progress on standardized tests over a number of years. According to The L.A. Times's article, "A student's performance is compared with his or her own in past years, which largely controls for outside influences often blamed for academic failure: poverty, prior learning and other factors." It is a tool favored by those in the school reform movement in the United States, as well as by the Obama administration. It is a tool that is not embraced by the national leadership of the American Federation of Teachers though AFT President Randi Weingarten has been more open to the use of value-added analysis than any of her predecessors. Interestingly, in March 2011 The L.A. Times reported that the teachers' union was preparing to move forward with its own "confidential" value-added rating system, and the school board was planning to move forward to use value-added analyses in evaluating the district's 6,000 teachers. Meanwhile, another of the AFT's affiliates, this time the powerful New York United Federation of Teachers—where the past several AFT national presidents have come up through the ranks—is fighting the public release of value-added ratings for 12,000 K-12 teachers there.
AAPS officials said the District does not use value-added analysis to evaluate its 1,100 teachers though the District does track the student MEAP results of each of the District's teachers. A question to Brit Satchwell, President of the AAEA union about whether there were plans to incorporate value-added analysis in Ann Arbor, went unanswered.
MEAP scores released by the state give one-year snapshots of how schools and school districts are doing with respect to teaching the basics, math, reading, writing, science and social studies. As in Los Angeles, and of course school districts in states across the country, there are significant disparities within the Ann Arbor school district with respect to student performance on the state's standardized test. There are testing achievement gaps between students of different races, grade levels and, most disturbingly, between schools.
The gap between Ann Arbor's elementary school students testing at the advanced level is persistent, reflected in MEAP data as far back as 2004.
Ann Arbor uses a unified curriculum in an effort to produce consistent results in the classroom. MEAP scores released recently demonstrate quite clearly that strategy isn't working. MEAP scores available over the past several years show that there remain significant achievement disparities. The disparities, in some instances, are growing. Significantly, more students at some elementary schools in Ann Arbor are performing at the advanced level across the board in all five subjects, while the MEAP scores of students at other Ann Arbor elementary schools, taking the same MEAP tests, are not exceeding expectations.
Here are portraits of three grade levels at three Ann Arbor elementary schools. The schools, Northside Elementary and Logan Elementary, are located not more than 1 mile apart, geographically. Both schools feed into Clague Middle School. In 2010, there were significant differences in the achievement of the students in 3, 4, and 5 grades at Logan and Northside. All percentages below reflect the percentage of students tested who scored at the Advanced level in the subjects tested. The AAPS scores are the District-wide percentages of students scoring at the Advanced level in the subjects tested.
There are significant achievement gaps between the students tested at the three schools. Only the students at Burns Park Elementary exceeded District-wide Advanced-level MEAP scores in all of the subjects in each of the years tested. Logan student MEAP scores exceed 2010 District-wide MEAP scores in grades four and five, but not for reading in grade three. Conversely, students at Northside Elementary didn't meet or exceed District-wide scores of students who tested at the Advanced level in any of the subjects tested in any of the grades tested. By fifth grade, students at Northside have made up some ground in the subjects tested, but achievement at the Advanced level of Northside students lags behind both the students at nearby Logan and Burns Park elementary schools, as well as students District-wide.
One important fact to remember is that these MEAP scores represent the achievement of the previous academic year. In other words, MEAP scores of fourth graders represent the mastery of work done in the third grade, not the fourth grade. Fourth grade teachers spend several weeks on MEAP prep. prior to the October test, but that work is meant as a refresher course, as it were.
Why are there such noticeable differences in the achievement of students at the three schools?
Ann Arbor officials have, in past, used race as an explanation.
The first step toward answering that question would be to openly acknowledge that there are significant differences in student achievement at the Advanced level between the various schools in the District. As a rule, when the District presents MEAP data, officials don't make comparisons between individual schools, but rather make comparisons between how the District performed in each grade level. One other way that the gap is masked is in the fact that there is a tendency to lump together the students who met or exceeded expectations. There is, of course, a difference between simply meeting expectations and achieving at an advanced level.
This comes from the Academics section of the AAPS web site: "Over 96% of third graders, 94% fourth graders and 93% seventh graders met or exceeded state standards in math."
This would lead a casual reader to believe that the majority of third and fourth grade students in the District are performing at the same level in math. This simply is not the case as evidenced by the data graphed for individual schools above. In 2010's fourth grade class, almost twice as many students at Burns Park Elementary have advanced mastery of math, versus students at Northside Elementary.
National education reformers seek to link consistent under-performance such as that reflected in Northside's MEAP data to individual teachers, who can then either be mentored or replaced. National reformers also seek to replicate student achievement, such as that reflected in the Advanced level MEAP scores at Burns Park Elementary School, throughout individual Districts.
Ann Arbor Public School MEAP data suggest that depending on which elementary school a child is enrolled in within the AAPS will determine whether the child simply "meets" state standards (is proficient) or will master the material at an advanced level.
To lump the "met or exceeded" groups together effectively disguises the reality that a parent who sends her/his child to one school in the District rather than another will see significantly varied achievement results. Students will demonstrate higher achievement if enrolled at Logan or Burns Park, according to MEAP data available that goes back to 2004. Since 2004, students at Northside have scored lower in math, reading, writing and science on the MEAP than students at Logan or Burns Park.
Logan and Northside are not a world apart. They are one mile apart as the crow flies. The demographics are not dissimilar, nor is the enrollment or class sizes.
According to the AAPS Web site:
AAPS Board of Education approved the School of Choice program for school year 2011/12. The Ann Arbor Public Schools will open a School of Choice window for Washtenaw County residents between April 15 – May 15. Applications will be avilable on this website beginning April 11. Enrollment applications will not be accepted until April 15th. Enrollment will be through a lottery process, NOT a first-come-first-serve process. The School of Choice grades approved for 2011/2012 school year are: Kindergarten, First (1st) and Sixth (6th) grades with limited seats available for second (2nd), third (3rd), fourth (4th) and fifth (5th) grades. Elementary schools will include Abbot, Bryant, Carpenter, Dicken, Eberwhite, Lakewood, Logan, Northside, Pittsfield & Pattengill. Middle schools will include Clague, Forsythe, Scarlett, Slauson, & Tappan.
Many of the elementary schools of choice are those with achievement scores in reading, math, science and writing that have, since 2004, been significantly lower than those of students who attend King, Burns Park and the Open School. In other words, a child attending one of these schools would be much more likely receive instruction that results in proficiency rather than advanced mastery of the subject.
Is race a factor, as AAPS officials suggest? The investigative and extensive analysis work of The Los Angeles Times suggest that when one class, group or school of students learns far more than another in a school district, the difference has almost nothing to do with the size of the class, the students or their parents.
On March 11, 2011 The L.A. Times published a follow-up story on value-added analysis that asks just this question. In that piece, it was suggested that, "Theoretically, value-added models inherently account for these differences [race and poverty], because each student's performance is compared each year with the same student's performance in the past, not with the work of other students. But many experts say further statistical adjustments are necessary to improve accuracy."

Good product
Not a miracle, but in fact I like it, because it is not sticky, does not have odor and it is important for me because I don't want that deodorants would mix up with my perfumes. It helps to lock a sweat away indeed. Only one thing that is not super, you will need to rub it in your underarm 10 times up and down, up and down in order to feel that you put some deodorant on you.

Works fine for me. I do not swet a lot. Easier to apply than Hugo Naturals Dual Action Deodorant but maybe not as natural. Affordable and a big size. Almost odourless. Please, visit my page to see other products I like for example the best multivitamin and omega-3 at iHerb.

I was quite happy with this deo, it became one of my favorite natural deodorants. But I didn't use it for a month or so, because I wanted to finish another deodorant. And when I resumed using this one, suddenly it didn't work. Any more. It's hard to believe my bacterial flora (or something) would have changed so drastically in this short time, so I guess the active ingredients just degraded or evaporated. Five minutes after applying it and I smell already, almost worse than applying no deodorant. I've used quite a few natural deos and never had this problem of efficacy disappearing (even with very similar products), at least not nearly to this extent.

Three Stars for Deodorant -No Stars for Anti-perspirant
Posted by iHerb Customer on Oct 07, 2010 | Verified Purchase
This is my first review ever on iherb and I have spent thousands on this website. I was moved to write this review because I wore this deodorant called Dry by Nature for the first time today and I do believe that I sweated more than I have in a very long time. I was surprised and not too happy, given I had worn something that was not conducive to sweating. I was disappointed with the non-dry nature of this product but given it is a deodorant and not a real anti-perspirant (nor does it advertise as such but the name is a tad bit misleading) - I decided not to completely pan it. Bottom line: if you are looking for a nice natural deodorant by all means buy it but an anti-perspirant of any kind it is not.

I was concerned about the toxic chemicals often found in deodorants, and decided to try this. I was not expecting much. Moreover, I first used in the the harshest of environments: a week-long trip to Orlando, which was unbearably hot. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. It worked very well. The scent is pleasant and light. It isn't greasy and doesn't stain clothed. Excellent! I believe that nutritional supplements saved my life. I've tried a lot of products, and I know what works and what doesn't. My reviews are honest, straighforward, and based on my experience. Read my other reviews to quickly learn from my three decades of research and experimentation.
One to try!

I have had less than great results with other natural deodorants. I've been extra sweaty recently with the heat and hot flashes, and this one seems to work much better for me. It's worth a try!
lasts a pretty long time.

I guess that I spoke too soon or once again I forgot about Cygwin b20.1. I just tried the same experiment on the Cygwin b20.1 gcc. Unfortunately, it does *not* automatically search /usr/local/include during compilation but it *does* automatically search /usr/local/lib during linking. This asymmetry seems strange or at least inconsistent. I've tried 2.95.2-6, 2.95.2-7, and b20.1 and I can't get gcc to explicitly tell me that it will automatically search /usr/local/lib during linking. I am using the -print-search-dirs which displays the follow (for 2.95.2-7): $ gcc -print-search-dirs install: /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/2.95.2-7/ programs: /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/2.95.2-7/:/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/:/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/2.95.2-7/:/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/:/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/2.95.2-7/../../../../i686-pc-cygwin/bin/i686-pc-cygwin/2.95.2-7/:/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/2.95.2-7/../../../../i686-pc-cygwin/bin/ libraries: /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/2.95.2-7/:/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/2.95.2-7/:/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/2.95.2-7/../../../../i686-pc-cygwin/lib/i686-pc-cygwin/2.95.2-7/:/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/2.95.2-7/../../../../i686-pc-cygwin/lib/:/usr/lib/i686-pc-cygwin/2.95.2-7/:/usr/lib/:/usr/lib/mingw/i686-pc-cygwin/2.95.2-7/:/usr/lib/mingw/:/lib/i686-pc-cygwin/2.95.2-7/:/lib/:/usr/lib/i686-pc-cygwin/2.95.2-7/:/usr/lib/ Does anyone know how to glean this information from gcc?

Your pathetic attempts at sarcasm always make me smile, you know that?
Since you're either playing dumb or honestly don't know what I meant, I'll point it out in detail:
The Appeal to Popularity Fallacy is a logical fallacy often used by opponents of popular works of media to shoot down any praise of said work, or used by fans to divert criticism based on said popularity. The former group (popularity = bad) often uses it by saying sarcastically "a million flies eat crap, so obviously crap must be good." My counter analogy, better worded, meant "obviously flies get something out of it you don't, so who are you to judge?"
What I'm saying is you dig yourself into a hole by criticizing popular things because they are popular. They got that way for a reason, namely that people enjoy them. You just waste your energy with statements trying to use the popularity of something against it.

So the only word to be trusted is the word of critics? We're to sacrifice all of our own opinions, tastes, and preferences because some guy we don't know other than his web or newspaper articles said, "I didn't like this, and neither should you?"
I feel sorry for you if that's how you go through life, letting others decide what you should enjoy for you.

Five area casinos fail air quality test, health groups say
From The Kansas City Star:
Health advocates are warning gamblers that they may be risking their health along with their money when they play at local casinos.
A study released Monday by two area health organizations found unhealthy levels of air pollution on the smoky gaming floors of five area casinos.
There's enough smoke in the air, the study said, that full-time casino employees are chronically exposed to more particulate pollution than the Environmental Protection Agency's limit for eight-hour work shifts.
The health groups, Clean Air Metro KC and the Health Care Foundation of Greater Kansas City, called on cities to ban smoking at casinos.
"We encourage our area city councils to recognize that the health of casino customers and employees is no less valuable than that of customers and employees in other work and public places," foundation chairman Norm Siegel said.
Casinos often receive exemptions to clean indoor air laws. That special treatment has put gaming establishments on the front lines in recent battles over whether to curb or extend legal restrictions on smoking.
Nationwide, city councils and state legislatures have fought over including casinos in their smoking bans.
Casinos insist that their business relies disproportionately on smokers, while health advocates point to profitable casinos in states where smoking isn't allowed.
Meanwhile, casino workers have sued employers over health problems, from asthma to cancer, allegedly caused by constant exposure to secondhand tobacco smoke.
"This seems to be the last bastion of resistance to clean indoor air policies," said Stanley Cowan, a University of Missouri researcher who wrote the Kansas City casino study. "Casinos are now where bars were five or 10 years ago."
Kansas City, with two casinos, and North Kansas City, with one, both have indoor smoking bans that exempt gaming areas. Riverside also has a casino but does not have indoor smoking restrictions. Kansas has a clean indoor air law, but it exempts state-owned casinos.
Mayor Sly James of Kansas City said during his campaign this year that he would support ending the casino exemption.
James said Monday that he would read the new report carefully.
"This is a serious issue raised by one of our community's health care pillars," he said in a statement. "Any response will need to be coordinated among area municipalities, and I will be interested in hearing what next steps the (foundation) will propose."
Mike Winter of the Missouri Gaming Association, a casino industry trade group, said his organization would wait to comment until "after we've had an opportunity to see what kind of research they've done and study results."
The study was conducted by researchers who visited the Argosy, Ameristar, Harrah's, Isle of Capri and 7th Street casinos carrying small, easy-to-hide gadgets to measure particulate pollution. They spent at least a half hour on the gaming floor of each casino and counted the number of people and how many were smoking. They took similar measurements in nonsmoking areas.
Two of the casinos had pollution levels considered unhealthy for people with heart or lung diseases. The three others had levels unhealthy for all people. Air quality in only one casino nonsmoking area was categorized as good. The study didn't identify casinos by name.
The study also found that just under 17 percent of the people in the casinos' smoking areas were actively smoking.
"This shows that it doesn't take a lot of cigarettes to cause a lot of pollution," Cowan said.
Fine particulate pollution can come from cigarettes, auto tailpipes and even burgers on a grill.
The tiny particles work their way into the lungs, where they cause inflammation and aggravate asthma, emphysema and other respiratory diseases.
Particulates also are suspected of contributing to heart attacks.

ATP Oil & Gas Corporation (NASDAQ:ATPG) today released first quarter 2012 financial results and an operations update. Results of Operations Production in first quarter 2012 was 2.0 MMBoe (million barrels of oil equivalent) of which 63% was oil and condensate, compared to 2.3 MMBoe in the first quarter 2011 of which 68% was oil and condensate. This falls within ATP's previously-stated expectation of 1.8 – 2.1 MMBoe for first quarter 2012. First quarter 2012 production includes approximately 0.1 MMBoe from a royalty relief adjustment related to 2011 production. Revenues from oil and gas production were $146.6 million in first quarter 2012 including a $3.0 million benefit for royalty relief related to 2011, compared to $166.5 million with no corresponding adjustment for royalty relief in first quarter 2011. Cash provided by operating activities in first quarter 2012 was $100.9 million, compared to $86.2 million in first quarter 2011. ATP ended first quarter 2012 with a cash balance of $224.7 million, compared to $65.7 million in fourth quarter 2011. ATP's working capital deficit was $267.9 million at the end of first quarter 2012 compared to a $347.5 million deficit at the end of fourth quarter 2011. Lease operating expense for first quarter 2012 was $26.9 million compared to $32.4 million in first quarter 2011. Recurring lease operating expense was $23.2 million in first quarter 2012 and $25.0 million in first quarter 2011. The improvement was primarily a result of lower variable expense. Excluded from recurring lease operating expense was workover expense of $3.7 million in first quarter 2012 and $7.4 million in first quarter 2011. The workover expenses in first quarter 2012 were primarily due to hull repair and maintenance work at Gomez Hub, while the workover expenses in first quarter 2011 were primarily due to work at ATP's Atwater 63 and Mississippi Canyon 711 properties. General and administrative expense was $18.0 million in first quarter 2012, which included $3.8 million of organization and startup costs of operations in Israel and other international prospect generation costs, and $3.7 million of bonuses awarded to executives by the Board. The remaining general and administrative expense of $10.5 million is comparable to the $9.7 million in first quarter 2011. For first quarter 2012, ATP recorded a net loss attributable to common shareholders of $145.1 million or $(2.83) per basic and diluted share compared to $119.5 million or $(2.34) per basic and diluted share in first quarter 2011. The net loss attributable to common shareholders was impacted by items analysts sometimes exclude from published estimates. For first quarter 2012, those items included a gain on abandonment of $0.4 million, impairment of oil and gas properties of $1.2 million, and unrealized losses on derivative contracts of $42.8 million. For first quarter 2011, those items included unrealized losses on derivative contracts of $42.9 million and $18.5 million of drilling interruption costs associated with the Gulf of Mexico moratorium.

Mike Jenkins' chances of a return to Cowboys seem slim based on 2012
The NFL's free agency period begins March 12, and most fans want to know who the Dallas Cowboys will look to add to the 2013 team in an effort to get the Cowboys back into the playoffs for the first time since 2009.
However, the Cowboys also have some tough decisions to make about their own free agents. The Cowboys have 18 free agents – three of whom are restricted – they will have to make decisions on this off-season.
On Monday, I started counting down the five least likely free agents to return in 2013. Each day this week, I'll be counting down from the fifth-most least likely to the least likely free agent to be re-signed.
Today, we continue with the fourth-most least likely Cowboys' free agent to be re-signed this off-season:
No. 4 Mike Jenkins
Position: Cornerback
Age: 27
Ht., Wt.: 5-10, 198
College: South Florida
Years in the NFL: 5
Years with the Cowboys: 5
2012 recap: Jenkins wasn't happy when he learned last off-season that he would be relegated to a backup in 2012 after starting the previous three seasons for the Cowboys. For the most part, Jenkins didn't become a distraction in the locker room and played hard despite his demotion. However, he finished with a career-low 14 tackles and only three passes defended.
Why Jenkins is likely gone: Jenkins, a 2008 first-round draft choice, won't likely be back with the Cowboys because of the role he was reduced to in 2012. Jenkins believes he should be starting in the NFL and wants to play for a team that will put him in a more prominent role. Jenkins will seek a long-term contract this off-season that gives him a chance to start. He underwent reconstructive right shoulder surgery last off-season, and that won't help his case.
The Countdown: The Cowboys' 5 least likely free agents to return:
Monday: No. 5 WR Kevin Ogletree
Tuesday: No. 4 CB Mike Jenkins
Wednesday: No. 3 ???
Thursday: No. 2 ???
Friday: No. 1 ???

Whitney Young coach Corry Irvin came back to her alma mater on Saturday afternoon for the Mac Irvin Diabetes Classic.
Her Dolphins opened their season against nationally-ranked Rolling Meadows team (7-0) which was ranked No. 1 in the Chicago area by one publication.
"She (Irvin) wanted us to make sure we represented her well at her high school and start our the season out right," said Dolphins 6-foot-5 forward Khaalia Hillsman (8 points, 13 rebounds), a Texas A & M recruit. "She didn't want to lose in her hometown where she was a Hall of Fame player."
The Dolphins did not let their coach down, who indeed is an Elgin Sports Hall of Famer, running past the Mustangs 54-40 in the only girls game of the day in the event, which also featured four boys game.
Rebounding was the story of the day, especially on the offensive end where Whitney Young grabbed 20 boards in the first half and led 28-16 at the break.
More than once, the Dolphins were able to get 3 or more rebounds on one possession.
"We talk every day about hitting the boards," said Irvin, a 1992 Larkin grad whose team outrebounded the Mustangs 53-28. "That might be our best offense -- offensive rebounding."
Meadows senior Jackie Kemph's running 12 footer in the lane and a free throw one minute later made it 3-0.
The Dolphins, who missed 12 of their first 13 shots, got a rebound layup from Hillsman for its first points with 4:32 left in the period. Young sophomore Kiara Lewis (game-high 17 points, 14 rebounds), who did not play as a freshman because of a torn ACL, hit a 3-pointer to give the Dolphins their first lead at 7-6.
Northwestern-bound Alexis Glasgow, who led Meadows with 12 points, answered with a pair of free throws to give her team its last lead at 8-7.
Whitney Young junior Madinah Muhammad tossed home a 3-pointer to trigger an 10-0 run from which Meadows would never recover.
The Dolphins' biggest lead was 36-16 which with 5:30 left in the third quarter.
"My first reaction is that they're better than us right now," said Meadows coach Ryan Kirkorsky, who also had a homecoming on Saturday returning to the school where he had first full-time teaching job in 1999 and 2000 as an English teacher (he also served as the freshman girls basketball coach).
"To me, they're the best rebounding team in the state. Obviously, that's something we have to work on in practice if we want to beat the top teams in the state."
Senior Jenny Vliet (7 points, who pulled to within 7 points of 1,000 for her career, pulled down a team-high 10 rebounds while classmate Ashley Montanez had 8.
"Their starting five has been together a long time," Irvin said. "They have nice team chemistry. "They are a very good and smart team."
Kemph added 11 points, 3 assists and 2 rebounds while Glasgow had 5 rebounds and 2 steals.
"They were an awesome rebounding team and we didn't come in ready for that," Kemph said. "Hopefully, next time we will.
"We learned we need to be more aggressive and now we got to see we have a lot of things to improve on. That's what we will do in practice this week."
Glasgow said the game provided the Mustangs a measuring stick and she addressed the rebounding issue.
"Obviously, things matter more during the state playoffs," she said. "But this was a wake-up call. We've got to box out harder and play better at the start of the game. There were glimpses of good things but we've got to do them for 32 minutes."
Southern Methodist recruit Taylor Brame grabbed 14 rebounds and added 8 points for Whitney Young.
"Because of the event (finding a cure for diabetes) and because I went to high school here, it was a big win," Irvin said. "I know it was only our first game but it's a good way to start.
"I was a little concerned because we hadn't had a game yet, and they had seven. At the beginning, we had a lot of jitters, rushing stuff on offense. But it's just the first game. It's not the state championship or anything like that."
Kirkorsky felt Whitney Young's ability to get to the offensive boards in the first half was the biggest difference.
"That was the story of the game," he said. "I'm proud of my kids. We challenged them at half and saw better things in the second half."
Whitney Young, a Chicago Public League powerhouse, won the Class 4A state titles in 2012 and 2008, was second in 2009 and 2010 and fourth in 2011.
"These are the kind of teams you want to be playing now," Kirkorsky added. "It's great because it shows you what you need to work on."

Composite Ver. Ka Cybaster
I've never played the games, I've never seen the animes but I've always thought Cybaster was an interesting and great looking mecha. So naturally, when I found out Bandai was releasing this guy in the Composite Ver. Ka toy line, I ordered it immediately.
Cybaster (魔装機神サイバスター) or alternatively spelt Cybuster is a fictional robot from the Super Robot Wars series. From what I've read, it comes from an extra-dimentional origin, it is a "Masouki" piloted by Masaki Andou. The Cybaster was blessed by the Wind elemental's saint level spirit Cyfith, making it the fastest Masouki, and the only one with the ability to transform.
Name: Cybaster (Cybuster)
Manufacturer: Bandai
Line: Composite Ver. Ka
Designer: Moriya Junichi
Scale: Non-scale
Material: ABS, PVC, POM
Release: Jul 2011
Original Price: ¥5,800 (approx. $70AUD / $75USD)
Height: 160mm / 6.30inches (to top of head trim)
Packaging wise it is a pretty standard Composite Ver. Ka design, with large window at the front. There are graphics and photos relating to the toy as well as some explanation text (in Japanese) at the back. Inside, the figure lies between some plastic liners with the wing parts and display stand parts in a separate layer beneath.
Cybaster comes with a pair of swords two High Familiars, optional hands and a Display stand. The two swords included are the standard Discutter as well as the Vanity Ripper which splits to form two separate swords. To split the Vanity Ripper in two, it does involve some parts swapping, namely detaching a little tab and attaching the sword handle in place – no big deal but it have should been retractable to minimize the possibility of loosing parts. Aside from that I found swapping out the hands a near impossible task, the ball joints were just way too tight, unnecessarily tight.
Robot Mode: Sculpt wise I recon it is absolutely spot on. It looks great, well proportioned and finely detailed. However, this is one very spiky figure and it doesn't help that the body parts are made from rigid ABS material. Another problem I found was with the balance of the figure. The wings are pretty solid and it makes Cybaster very back heavy so he does not tend to stay standing straight up very well without the help of the stand.
Alt mode: To be honest, I've never really liked the alt mode of Cybaster, it looks a bit like an after thought transformation, and the head of the bird coming out of the crouch just looks wrong. But it is what it is, and for what it is, it looks okay. You may not be able to tell from the photo, but in Cybird mode, the peg hole for the stand is not at the very bottom of the figure, and as the stand is fixed in position the Cybird will end up pointing upwards when connected to the stand.
Looking purely at the amount of movement in each limb, I'd say this is a figure with good articulation. However, there are quite a few problems with it. Firstly as I've mentioned already it is very unbalanced and putting it in any sort of pose without a stand is going to be difficult. Secondly, it is very spiky so handling the toy is not the most joyous thing I can think of, and yes those spiky bits do tend to fall off from time to time, adding to the frustration. Then theres the problem of the knees bending the wrong way (as if it was going to transform). Once you do get over these few issues, the toy looks great in most poses.
The figure is covered with a nice metallic silver coat of paint but I did notice a few imperfections straight out of the box which you sometimes do get with mass produced toys. Otherwise the paint app is mostly tidy and there are nice details throughout. The figure also has a few transparent green panels which look rather nice, giving it a bit more depth. The swords are well decorated with little "gems" and panel lining. I really like the High Familiars included with this set, and you can see the paint and detail quality is very good on them.
In terms of scale, I'm not sure if this particular Cybaster is in scale with the Volk's version (Dengeki hobby limited) as I don't have one to compare with, but I do have Dygenguar to give you an idea of the size. For those of you unfamiliar with either line, here's a 3.75" Stormtrooper which should help you visualize the size of this thing, its not big at all.
This could have been a great toy if some of the issues were fixed before release. It just felt like there was a lack of concentration from the engineering team towards the end of the project. Things like the overly tight ball joints for the hands, the back wings being way too heavy, the spikes being too sharp (should have been made with a softer grade of plastic) and the display stand not being able to rotate up and down, but alas.
I'm a little unsure whether or not I'd recommend this toy. On the one hand it looks great, but on the other hand it can seriously drive you nuts trying to "play" with it so I'll leave the decision up to you guys.
Thanks for reading!

PHOENIX — ASU Prep Academy has been awarded the U.S. Department of Education's highly competitive Investing in Innovation Fund grant.
"It's quite an honor to be selected and to be able to provide something like this to our students, families and teachers," said Chief Academic Officer Deborah Gonzalez.
With the grant, ASU Prep will provide a unique blend of learning strategies and innovative technologies to better serve students, educators and families.
The grant will also ensure that all students will have access to portable technology devices and are exposed to next-generation technology. Tech-enabled learning tools and other powerful educational resources will be integrated into the Common Core curriculum.
"We can't do what we want to do for all of our families and students with the state funding that we receive, so receiving private grant monies or federal grant monies is critical to our future success," said Gonzalez.
Only 25 of 600 schools were awarded the prestigious grant.
ASU Prep is the only K-12 school in Arizona to receive the award.

São Paulo, Brazil, 2013/08/20 - Rede Record Goes Digital In Several Important Cities Using Kyrion Encoders - ATEME.com.
ATEME, a global leader in advanced video compression solutions for the broadcast industry, today announced that Brazilian broadcaster, Rede Record, has used its encoders to expand the commercial deployment of digital television in multiple regions across Brazil, including Bauru and São José do Rio Preto in the state of São Paulo, João Pessoa in the state of Paraiba and Uberlândia in the state of Minas Gerais.
Key Facts:
Digital TV expansion: Rede Records selected the Kyrion AM2102 encoders to expand its free to air digital TV coverage across multiple regions.
Kyrion meets the Brazilian standard: Since 2009, Rede Records has been utilizing ATEMEs Kyrion encoders across Brazil to deploy digital terrestrial television in accordance with ISDB-T, the technical standard for digital television broadcast used in Brazil, across South America and in other parts of the world.
Simplifying the head-end: Rede Record chose the Kyrion AM2102 for its versatility and simplicity. The equipment is capable of simultaneous high definition and standard definition transmission (one-seg for mobile reception) within the same chassis, by encoding from either the same or different video inputs.
Industry First: The partnership between ATEME and Rede Record has resulted in significant workflow optimizations, such as the conversion of EIA708 closed caption subtitles to the ISDB-T standard within the Kyrion encoder, an industry first to simplify broadcast operations.
Future-proof technology: ATEMEs ongoing development of system codecs, and its ability to install updates remotely, ensures that its customers are investing in the next generation of encoder, without additional capital expense.
Supporting Quote:
Marcio Pena, engineering manager, Rede Record said:
A determining factor in choosing ATEMEs Kyrion AM2102 as our compression platform was based on the equipments capability to encode 16 audio channels in both high-efficiency and low-complexity AAC while meeting ISDB-T standards. More importantly, ATEME builds future-proof equipment by providing ongoing updates, providing us with measurable ROI and lower capital expenses.

Also, I thought it was cool that the boxed packaging was designed without the use of any glue; pretty innovative. Would definitely recommend this lipstick to anyone looking for a nice light but even moisturizing color on their lips. — 6 years, 7 months agoCeeNee888 | 162 reviews

Demetri McCamey continues to be criminally underrated. A 6'3", 200 lb. point guard with excellent skills, who's 50% from both the field and downtown.
But hey, he's a disgusting, deplorable senior (eww...) and doesn't look that athletic, so he's not worth drafting in the first round. Isn't that right, Mr. Landry Fields?

New Delhi, June 1 : Gujjars reasserted that they would continue with their struggle in a peaceful manner until and unless their demands are fulfilled.
Speaking at an all India meeting of Gujjar community in New Delhi on Sunday the Gujjar leaders reiterated their demands for a Scheduled Tribe status in Rajasthan and also demanded the removal of Vasundhra Raje led Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) Government in Rajasthan.
"We will continue our protest as long as our demands are not met. Our demands include removal of Vasundhra Raje and a Scheduled Tribe status for the Gujjars. Our movement is non-violent. Our protest will not cause inconvenience to any citizen living in India," said Ram Saran Bhati, Executive President, All India Gujjar Mahasabha.
Meanwhile the Gujjar community also took to streets in New Delhi to further emphasize their issue. The police had to resort to water cannons to disperse the protesting mob.
"The national parties both Congress and BJP should make a decision. As far as reservation is concerned, it is not something new. Our Chief Minister had promised this. We insist upon the same demand. We do not have any new demand. We want reservation in Rajasthan. Once our demands are met, we will welcome the same Vasundhra Raje and the BJP against whom we are protesting today," said Sukhveer Singh, Gujjar leader.
The Gujjars, already considered a disadvantaged group, want to be reclassified further down the complex Hindu caste and status system so that they qualify for government jobs and university seats reserved for such groups.
The Gujjars, who have been protesting for more than a week now, have started to branch out from Rajasthan, the epicenter of the protests, to take their protests across northern India.
The government reserves about half of all seats in state colleges and universities for lower castes and tribal groups to flatten centuries-old social hierarchies, in what has been called the world's biggest affirmative action scheme.
But the scheme has been criticised for accentuating caste identities in India, where discrimination on caste is banned in the constitution.
A year ago, Gujjars in Rajasthan fought police and members of another caste that already qualifies for job quotas. At least 26 people were killed in that violence.
After these protests, a state government committee said it would spend 2.8 billion rupees improving schools, clinics, roads and other infrastructure in Gujjar areas. But Gujjars rejected this option.

Toccoa Hosts Workshop on Poverty
Community leaders from Stephens and surrounding counties gather to learn more about the issue of poverty.
Thursday, they gathered at the Gate Cottage on the campus of Toccoa Falls College for the "Bridges Out of Poverty" workshop.
Travis Blackwell is a certified "Bridges out of Poverty" trainer and he led the program on Thursday.
He said the program is based off a book of the same name and encourages people to look at poverty in a different way.
"It asks us to look differently at the poverty environment and people who live in the poverty environment, to become more self-aware of our own norms, values, and judgments and how we may be imposing those on folks who we are trying to serve," said Blackwell. "That is a lot of what today is about is really getting more self-awareness (and) more understanding so we can be more effective and impactful in our jobs."
During the program, which includes small group work as well as presentations, those in attendance learned concepts of the poverty issue, reviewed research, and looked at poverty in relation to hidden rules of class, resources, family structure, and language.
Blackwell said his goal is for those who attended to become more aware of themselves and of the issue in general.
"I really hope that they take away a better self-understanding that they are able to let go of some judgments about people from other backgrounds that they may have had before, that they are able to better establish relationships with people from different backgrounds and be more effective in their work," said Blackwell.
Family Connections and Communities in Schools of Stephens County organized the program.
That group's executive director, Toni Childress, said she also hopes people who attended will see the issue in a different light.
"I think there is a lot of shame and a lot of blame for folks that live in poverty, that people will learn to lay that down," said Childress. "I think we will never move forward until we let go of that and build some new relationships so that we really can help our community grow and (help) families move out of poverty."
She went on to say having the program was important because poverty is a huge issue in the state, the region, and Stephens County.
"In the United States, 1 out of 6 children live in poverty," said Childress. "In Georgia, 1 out of 4 (children live in poverty). In Stephens County, 1 out of 3 children live in poverty, so it kind of surprises people when they hear those statistics, but we know. We work with our families every day. We know that families are struggling. It is not only a generational problem. It is people that have lost their jobs, people that have lost their homes."
Childress said she hopes that they will be able to build off Thursday's workshop moving forward.

|Leukocyte Dysfunction in Diabetic Patients.
|Brief Summary
|The purpose of this study is to study impairment of white blood cell function in patients with type II diabetes.
|Detailed Description
|Leucocytes from poorly controlled diabetes exhibit aberrant chemotaxis, increased susceptibility to bacterial infection, leukotriene production, lysosomal enzyme release, proinflammatory cytokine expression and production of reactive oxygen species. Aberrant glucose concentration in diabetics affects functions of peripheral blood system as well as the immune system leading to impaired host defense. Impaired wound healing is a serious complication associated with diabetes. We hypothesized that impairment in leukocyte function results in dysfunctional inflammatory response in diabetic wounds. The proposed studies focus on characterizing mechanisms that will improve our understanding of the dysfunctional inflammatory response resulting in non-healing chronic wounds in diabetics.

In many ways she represents the greatest fear of the FBI - a suspected terrorist who fits no profile; a U.S. citizen who can travel freely and blend right in.
On her Myspace page last June, an anonymous "Jihad Jane" wrote, "I'm so bored I want to scream."
But, prosecutors say, at that time the woman behind the veil - LaRose - was actually very busy inside her suburban Philadelphia home mapping terror plans and hoping to become a martyr.
"I am in shock," said Pennsburg, Penn., resident Tina Schwenk. "I can't believe it. I can't believe that in this small community like this that this is going on."
Prosecutors say LaRose - hiding behind the aliases "Jihad Jane" and "Fatima LaRose" - recruited fellow radicals over the Internet. She's accused of traveling to Europe and conspiring with others in a failed attempt to kill Swedish cartoonist Lars Vilks, who had sketched the prophet Mohammed as a dog.
This federal indictment cites an e-mail from LaRose pledging to kill her target.
"I will make this my goal," she wrote, "till I achieve it or die trying."
And the government says blond-haired, blue-eyed LaRose knew her appearance would protect her from suspicion. In another e-mail she wrote she'd "blend in with many people" and that "may be a way to achieve what is in my heart."
Her boyfriend, Kurt Gorman, said he had no idea LaRose may have been a closet jihadist.
Hers is the latest in a string of recent cases involving U.S. residents making cyber connections to link up with terrorists. Denver shuttle driver Najibullah Zazi joined with al Qaeda and schemed to blow up New York subways. Chicagoan David Headley conspired with a Pakistani terror group to plan the bombings in Mumbai, India.
And accused Fort Hood shooter Major Nidal Hasan traded nearly 20 e-mail messages with radical Islamic cleric Anwar al-Awlaki.
The challenge for the FBI is identifying the real threats amid the bluster.
"It's really hard to gauge those that are just involved in rhetoric and those who are actually going to take action," said Rick "Ozzie" Nelson of the Center for Strategic and International Studies. "And that's a big jump and a big difference."
The Internet is filled with Web sites and videos promoting Jihad and bloggers, many based in the U.S., looking for recruits. On Wednesday CBS News researcher Khaled Wassef scrolled through a long list.
"It would not be an exaggeration if I said that there are at least dozens of bloggers operating from the United States," Wassef said.
Free speech of course is protected. But law enforcement officials face vexing questions. When do Internet rantings cross the line and become actionable threats? And how can the FBI police an anonymous cyber-world often viewed as the new Wild West?

MIDDLETOWN, R.I., Jan. 12, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Towerstream (Nasdaq:TWER), a leading 4G service provider, announced that it has reached EBITDA profitability in its Dallas market. It becomes the ninth of the Company's eleven markets to reach this milestone. "We launched Dallas at the beginning of the economic downturn and are pleased to reach EBITDA profitability," said Jeff Thompson, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Businesses recognize the advantages of our wireless solution including faster delivery and scalable service at a lower cost." "We expect continued growth in Dallas which is the 5 th largest market in the United States with more than 65,000 businesses," stated Joseph Hernon, Chief Financial Officer of Towerstream. "It is important to note that EBITDA profitability and Market Cash Flow are not recognized measures under generally accepted accounting principles. We utilize these metrics to measure the operational performance of our markets, and their respective ability to contribute cash flow to support centralized operating and corporate overhead costs." Key Operating Metrics and Non-GAAP Financial Measures The terms "EBITDA" and "Market Cash Flow" are measurements used by Towerstream to monitor business performance and are not recognized measures under generally accepted accounting principles, or "GAAP." Accordingly, investors are cautioned in using or relying upon these measures as alternatives to recognized GAAP measures. Towerstream's method of calculating these measures may differ from other companies and, accordingly, may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. The term "EBITDA" refers to earnings before interest expense, interest income, income taxes, depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation. "Market Cash Flow" represents the amount of cash generated in a market after deducting a market's direct operating expenses from that market's revenues. Market Cash Flow does not include (i) centralized operating costs which support all markets collectively or (ii) any network related capital expenditures incurred in a market.

How to assemble roadside safety signs
Locate the two (2) signs that you'll be taking.
Unfold the legs of the base. Do this by pressing down on the tab and pulling the leg towards the ground.
Next, unroll the sign. Rotate the crossbar so that it meets the loose corners. Similar to how you'd string a bow, place one end of the crossbar on the ground and gently bend it so that it fits into the tab on the corner of the sign. Repeat for the other side.
Now, align the support post of the sign into the square hole on the base. Make sure that the small metal button is lined up with the hole. This will insure that the sign doesn't decide to fly away.
Raise the little orange flags on the back, and place in a safe location at either end of your work area!

Gabe Ikard, Jalen Saunders stand out at Oklahoma's pro day
Published: March 12th, 2014 | Tags: Aaron Colvin, Damien Williams, Gabe Ikard, Jalen Saunders, Jerry "Schmitty" Schmidt, Oklahoma, Trey Millard
Representatives from 28 NFL teams — including a running backs coach from the New York Jets and a special-teams coach from the Cincinnati Bengals — were on hand Wednesday for Oklahoma's pro day, where 19 Sooners players worked out indoors on FieldTurf.
Jalen Saunders, WR (5-foot-8 7/8, 172 pounds) — Saunders ran the 40-yard dash in 4.47 seconds and then stood on the rest of his numbers from the NFL Scouting Combine. Saunders looked very quick and adept at catching punts. He has the look of a return specialist in the NFL.
Damien Williams, RB (5-11 1/4, 229) — Williams' vertical jump was measured at 30 inches and then stood on the rest of his numbers from the combine (he was among the top performers among running backs in the 40, running a 4.45). Williams also did a position workout at the Sooners' pro day.
Gabe Ikard, C (6-3 5/8, 301) — Ikard stood on his numbers from the combine, where he was among the top performers in his position group in the three-cone drill and 20-yard short shuttle. Ikard had a very good on-field workout, looking very athletic and quick. Ikard is a very promising prospect, but because of the nature of his position he is probably a mid-round selection in the 2014 NFL Draft.
Austin Woods, long-snapper (6-4 1/2, 280) — Woods, a four-year long-snapper for the Sooners — looked good as a snapper at the pro day.
Fullback Trey Millard and cornerback Aaron Colvin were unable to work out due to injuries. Colvin suffered a knee injury at practice during the Reese's Senior Bowl.
Jerry "Schmitty" Schmidt, the Sooners' strength and conditioning coach, is really one of the best in his profession. He had Oklahoma's pro day very organized.
