Having loved libraries since she was a child, Deputy Superintendent Mary Kolek of New Canaan (Conn.) Public Schools was truly happy when the staff of the New Canaan High School Library Media Center won the 2010 National School Library Program of the Year Award, presented by the American Association of School Librarians. "Everything that our library media center is producing," she says, "is reflective of what we're trying to do as a district: create critical thinkers, problem solvers, creative collaborators."
Kathleen Regan came to Glen Rock Public Schools four years ago thinking she would work only six months as the interim director of curriculum and instruction. Instead, she has stayed and succeeded—helping place the affluent, 2,500-student New Jersey district 20 miles northwest of Manhattan in the national spotlight for its science, technology, engineering and math program that extends from kindergarten to college-level work in high school.
A microcosm of the global education movement has materialized in Oxford (Mich.) Community Schools, home to 4,739 students in northern Oakland County. When Superintendent William Skilling started in 2007, he had a vision for a district immersed in global learning, foreign language, science and technology that resonated with the board of education—a vision the district didn't have, according to Colleen Schultz, school board president.
Diane Lewis began building her popular virtual education program in a storage closet. The drab room, just big enough to squeeze in a tiny table, was her office at the headquarters of Seminole County (Fla.) Public Schools. She had a computer and a small staff of temporary workers. "We had pretty much no money, no people, no space," recalls Lewis, director of instructional technology for the district. "One of the myths is, if you're virtual, people don't think you require anything."
Superintendent Alberto Carvalho, addresses employees at a district recognition program.
It came as no surprise to the residents of Mankato, Minn. last fall when Forbes magazine called the city a great place for raising a family. The population in the area served by Mankato Area Public Schools, which straddles three counties in the southern part of the state, has reached more than 50,000, thanks to business and recreational opportunities, a low cost of living, state-of the-art health care, great schools, and a welcoming attitude toward newcomers.
Schaumburg consolidated School District #54, located in Chicago's northwest suburb, is one of only 18 districts nationwide to receive the highest credit rating by Moody's—the gold star in global credit scores. The elementary district, with 15,000 diverse, middle-income students dispensed across 27 schools, earned this rating for its low debt burden, rapid balance payback, and ample reserves, including a working cash balance of $63 million.
Superintendent Bradford Saron has always had a passion for technology. "My family makes fun of me because my iPod Touch is attached to my hip at home," he says. But even his family gets in on the act, as his children use the device to listen to music, watch movies or play educational games at different times.
Carlos A. Garcia, born in Chicago to Mexican immigrants, learned about pride in his heritage when he was in kindergarten. As a student at Magnolia Elementary School in the Los Angeles Unified School District in the late 1950s, Garcia came home one day with a name tag on his shirt. His father asked, "Who is Charlie?" Garcia said Charlie was a boy at school who caused some trouble. His father visited the school the following day to ask the teacher and principal about this boy.
IF the Walnut Creek School District needs extra funding, it turns to the Walnut Creek Education Foundation (www.wcefk12.org).

Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings will miss the gay Pride parade this year for the first time since he took office.
Adam McGough, a spokesman for the mayor, said Rawlings will be in New York City this weekend at a conference of the Center for Exhibition Industry Research. Rawlings will also be visiting West Point, N.Y., as part of an initiative to bring a football game to Dallas.
McGough said Rawlings' absence has nothing to do with the controversy involving a marriage equality resolution at City Council in June — which led some in the LGBT community to call for the mayor and certain other council members to be uninvited from the Pride parade.
"He is disappointed to miss it," McGough said. "This has nothing to do with the controversy. This is just scheduling."
Rawlings is only the third Dallas mayor to appear in the gay Pride parade, after Laura Miller and Tom Leppert.
Michael Doughman, executive director of the Dallas Tavern Guild, said this week that only eight of 15 city council members had RSVP'd to ride on the Tavern Guild's float in this year's parade — which marks the 30th anniversary of the event.
That number is lower than in recent years, but Patti Fink, president of the Dallas Gay and Lesbian Alliance, said she isn't alarmed.
Fink noted that several council members were newly elected in June, and the community hasn't had a chance to build relationships with them. She also said she doesn't put a lot of stock in RSVPs.
"We have to wait until Pride to see who's on the float, because that's really going to be where the proof is," she said.
Doughman said council members who've RSVP'd are Scott Griggs, Adam Medrano, Rick Callahan, Monica Alonzo, Carolyn Davis, Tennell Atkins, Sheffie Kadane and Philip Kingston.
Only one sitting council member, Vonciel Hill, has publicly refused to appear in the parade because she is anti-LGBT.

GRUB Error 15: Dual Boot Slack and OpenIndiana
Hi all,
I have a dual-boot system with OpenIndiana and Slackware.
Slackware is installed on /dev/sda1
OpenIndiana is installed on /dev/sda2
OpenIndiana was installed after Slackware and installed GRUB (the legacy version). Of course, OpenIndiana didn't register Slack in the GRUB menu. (It doesn't seem to want to play nice with other systems.)
So, before editing the GRUB menu in OI, I've been experimenting at the GRUB command line, trying to get Slack to boot.
When I enter:
grub> root (hd0,0)
Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
But when I enter:
grub> kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda1 ro
Error 15: File not found
Is it because OI installed GRUB is some odd location? Would that make a difference?
@ Reply
Hi there,
Try this:
Make a copy of grub.conf
1. Type root (As you did)
2. Instead of typing grub> kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda1 ro type setup (hd0) instead
3. cat grub.conf file and see if you have got boot partitions pointing to correct location. Else paste the output here so that we guys can have a look at it.
Thanks so much for the reply!
After I did:
root (hd0,0)
setup (hd0)
Checking if "/boot/grub/stage1" exists...no
I couldn't find grub.conf, but the "menu.lst" file from "/rpool/boot/grub/menu.lst" appears below. Slack is the first "unknown" partition:
splashimage /boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
# With zfs root the active menu.lst file is /<pool>/boot/grub/menu.lst
grub> kernel (hd0,0)/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda1 ro
You likely do not have a common /boot partition. Therefore /boot is unique to each operating system.
For Slackware:
(hd0,0)/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda1 ro
For OpenIndiana:
(hd0,1)/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda2 ro
GRUB starts counting with zero. Therefore the Slackware partition, /dev/sda1, is located on device zero and partition zero (hd0,0). The OpenIndiana partition, /dev/sda2, is located on device zero and partition one (hd0,1).
@ Reply
Hi x360539,
You could give a try to steps mentioned by Woodsman.
It appears to me that OpenIndiana replaced the boot loader which Slack has configured before or it might be possible that it has installed its own bootloader and not added any entry for slack.
I am assuming that as of now you are able to boot in OpenIndiana but not in slack (I might be wrong, just a guess I am making)
Perhaps you could have a look at the following link which describes how you can edit menu.lst file to get desired OS listed in: http://boff.wordpress.com/2007/01/17...rub-boot-menu/
I hope this helps.

Tens of thousands of dollars in campaign donations have been steadily flowing in for some Humboldt County supervisor candidates, according to the most recently filed campaign finance forms.
First District supervisor candidate Rex Bohn is leading the pack in campaign contributions with $49,053 raised since the start of the year. Second District supervisor candidate Estelle Fennell is close behind with $47,199 raised since January.
Candidates in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd district races all filed their financial disclosure forms -- which detail candidates' campaign activity from Jan. 1 to March 17 -- by the March 22 deadline.
The forms, California Form 460s, are required to be filed with the county and list all campaign contributions of $100 or more that candidates have received, any loans, and where their campaign funds have been spent. Contributions are separated by monetary, or cash, contributions and nonmonetary contributions, which include services and goods.
1st District
During the most recent filing period, Bohn raised a total of $49,053 in contributions, with $28,840 in cash and $20,213 in nonmonetary contributions. Bohn had loaned himself $2,300 in the previous filing period, which he repaid to himself this period.
Including previous filings, Bohn has raised a total of $142,883, with $109,829 in cash and $33,054 in nonmonetary contributions. He spent $30,111 of the available cash this period and $26,277 of the available cash last period, leaving him with an overall balance of $53,441.

Since the start of her campaign, De Modena has raised a total of $25,990 -- $22,100 of which are loans De Modena has made to herself. She has spent $22,283 to date, including $4,870 this period, leaving her with an overall balance of $3,707.
Two people gave De Modena donations of $100 each this period, and the remaining $140 she raised came from various individuals who gave contributions of less than $100.

GFI Software Uses MadCap Flare to Streamline Documentation and Localization Processes and Achieve A Five-Fold Reduction in Project Time
(ENP Newswire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) ENP Newswire - 03 July 2013 Release date- 02072013 - La Jolla, CA, USA - MadCap Software, Inc., the leader in multi-channel content authoring and a showcase company for Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) Visual Studio and Microsoft XPS, today announced that it has published a new case study on GFI Software.
A provider of IT solutions for small to mid-sized businesses, GFI has cut its documentation project time five-fold by using MadCap Flare to deliver its print and online manuals. In January 2013, GFI received an Award of Merit from the Society of Technical Communications (STC) Washington, DC-Metro Baltimore Chapter in recognition for its GFI FaxMaker manual, which was produced using MadCap Flare. The full GFI case study is available at:
GFI Software is dedicated to providing enterprise-class IT solutions for small to mid-sized businesses. These include on-premise and cloud-based offerings for collaboration, anti-spam, patch management, faxing, mail archiving, and Web monitoring, which are delivered via an extensive global partner community. Today, GFI uses MadCap Flare to optimize the authoring and publishing of print and online manuals for 16 products, which are delivered in 15 different languages. Among the key benefits GFI has realized: Flare's functionality for content reuse and single-source publishing, along with ease of use, allowed GFI to cut project time from 25 hours to 5 hours.
Topic-based authoring and single-source publishing enabled GFI to eliminate redundancies in creating manuals with shared content.
XML-based Flare separates content from style sheets to ensure brand consistency and facilitate localization and translation into 15 languages.
Single-source publishing with Flare enables GFI to develop content once and then publish it as print, desktop and Web manuals.
Support for HTML output facilitates delivery of documentation that keeps pace with rapid enhancements to GFI's cloud solutions.
'After converting our first project to Flare, we realized that the total time to generate output for a product with three deliverables in three different formats in 14 languages totaling 126 individual target files went down from roughly 25 hours to about 5 hours,' said Jason Micallef, technical communications manager at GFI. 'Equally important, with Flare and its support for HTML, the look and feel of our output is much cleaner and more in-line with today's common practices.' Micallef added, 'We are continually looking at how we can enhance our documentation to support the current and future needs of our customers and partners. With MadCap, we have a publishing solution provider that shares our commitment to providing a state-of-the-art user experience.' 'We are seeing more and more companies switch from using general-purpose tools, such as Microsoft Word, for their long technical documentation needs as they increasingly need to publish the same content to multiple devices and provide mobile content,' said Anthony Olivier, MadCap founder and CEO. 'We are thrilled by the success of GFI in using our Flare publishing software to create award-winning documentation. GFI is a perfect example of how using the right tool enables a first-class experience for users while also streamlining the content delivery process to optimize team resources and ensure timely delivery of content and online Help.' About GFI GFI Software develops quality IT solutions for small to mid-sized businesses with generally up to 1,000 users. GFI offers two main technology solutions: GFI MAX, which enables managed service providers (MSPs) to deliver superior services to their customers; and GFI Cloud, which empowers companies with their own internal IT teams to manage and maintain their networks via the cloud. Serving an expanding customer base of more than 200,000 companies, GFI's product line also includes collaboration, network security, anti-spam, patch management, faxing, mail archiving and web monitoring. GFI is a channel-focused company with thousands of partners throughout the world. The company has received numerous awards and industry accolades, and is a longtime Microsoft Gold ISV Partner.

The Benedictine abbey church of Sainte-Marie-Madeleine at Vézelay in Burgundy is one of the most important surviving monuments of architecture and sculpture of the Romanesque period. It was a pilgrimage church in its own right, allegedly holding the relics of St. Mary Magdalen to whom it is dedicated, and it also stood at the beginning of one of the four major routes through France for pilgrims going to Santiago de Compostela in Galicia, in the north-western corner of Spain. The early twelfth-century building is notable for its groin-vaulted nave and narthex, and for its remarkable programme of sculpture on portals and capitals. The choir dates from the end of the twelfth century and is an important witness to the adoption of the Gothic style in Burgundy. The sculpture on the outer facade was largely destroyed at the French Revolution; fragments of it survive in the cloister. The inner facade and capital sculptures have undergone some restoration.

Wage Rigidity And Disinflation In Emerging Countries
This paper examines the consequences of rapid disinflation for downward wage rigidities in two emerging countries, Brazil and Uruguay, relying on high quality matched employer-employee administrative data. Downward nominal wage rigidities are more important in Uruguay, while wage indexation is dominant in Brazil. Two regime changes are observed during the sample period, 1995-2004: in Uruguay wage indexation declines, while workers' resistance to nominal wage cuts becomes more pronounced; and in Brazil, the introduction of inflation targeting by the Central Bank in 1999 shifts the focal point of wage negotiations from changes in the minimum wage to expected inflation.

In-laws love them or ........
well i adore my mil but my fil ( they are not together) is another story.....he lost his home 6 months ago and has been living with dh and I since! We had to go to his house and pack up all his stuff and move it.....i have a 14 year old sil who was staying elsewhere at first but within a month and a half we ended up with her too. My fil is a alcoholic and is completely taking advantage of dh and I BIG TIME!. Hes not lookin for a place has a job makin good money but has offered twice to give us money and we told him we just want him to save to get his own place....then finally we said yes we will take some money and still havent received it...he will stay in a apt provided for him at his job but have sil dropped off here without tellin us or anything...and show up when he wants very disrepectful to our lifestyle...im just sooooo sick of it...have any of u dealt with this with ur in laws? .....Im really starting to dismise this man seriously..
Um i don't really know either of them. Mil hardly notices/cares that we exist. Fil is a nice guy with a wife who talks to much and wants to keep up drama, so there isnt much of a relationship with him. Although dh and his dad are starting to talk more(which i am happy about). I like hearing stories about people who have great relationships with their inlaws i want that, but it wont happen.
Don't know them. Have yet to meet my MIL and only met my FIL once.
havent been in that situation with in laws but have been with my own family. My older brother came to live with us, hes been with my mom his whole life, she kicked him out, he came here. He lived here 6 months, refused to get a job, look for a place or do house work so we eventually had to kick him out also.
I love my MIL. FIL passed years before me and DH got together, but my MIL is such a great person. Shes so kind and funny.
I like them as people, they are nice, but I dont like their moral values especially around my children. My DH grew up with adults doing whatever they wanted even when children are around. I grew up where you dont do certain things or say certain things when children are around. IT is kinda annoying that my kids get exposed to things I dont want them to.
my MIL and her husband (step-FIL) are wonderful. we had are disagreements in the beginning, but we have worked through them.
I cannot stand my FIL (who is not with MIL). he is horrible to my husband and he is extremely racist. he claims I am a gold digger who takes advantage of my husband. he says that I married my husband for his money (I'm the bread winner).
Love my FIL, we live with him and he's awesome with dd. My MIL I can stand as long as she's not around lol
Well, my MIL hates my fuckin guts and would probably be more than happy to see me sucking on an exhaust pipe. But I guess that's what happens when you're a "fuckin whore" like she says I am.
Can't stand my in-laws. If I had a way, I would possibly leave my marriage over them. Not because I don't love my husband. But because I know that as long as I stay married to my husband, they will be apart of my life and in all honesty, that just seems incredibly overwhelming to me. I hate the thought of the rest of my kids' birthdays and holidays...things I should look forward to, I dread because of them. Somehow, that doesn't seem fair.
I envy all of you who love your in-laws. I seriously wish I felt the same way. I def don't enjoy the feelings I have for them.

Leavitt on RB Ford: 'You keep moving forward'
USF coach Jim Leavitt declined to elaborate on the nature of the rules violation that has junior running back Mike Ford, but said the Bulls will be fine with the remaining backs, led by senior Mo Plancher.
"I don't really think about anything other than you keep moving forward," Leavitt said. "Mike's a good guy. He really has a good heart. I love him dearly. You've got to do the right things. That's all there is to it. You have a son, your son messes up, you can get very angry, you can let them know how angry you are, but you still love your son. That's how I feel."
Ford's suspension could be related to USF's new policy on unexcused absences -- five missed classes this summer would equate to a two-game suspension and would explain why Ford was absent from the first practice of the fall. Consider this quote Monday from running backs coach Carl Franks, about how dependable Plancher has shown himself to be.
"I trust (Plancher), which is one of the highest compliments a coach can pay a player," Franks said. "You trust him to be there all the time, to do what's right, to go to class, to be eligible, to block the right blitzer, everything."
-- USF was not able to get an MRI exam on the injured right knee of running back Jamar Taylor, who will have the test early Tuesday morning. Plancher missed all but one game of the 2006 season with a torn ACL, and Franks said that injury is "just like it appears Jamar may have," though he stressed that final results won't be known until after an MRI exam.
-- Leavitt said it's "concerning" that receiver Jessie Hester continues to be limited by a foot/ankle injury he suffered in April during spring practice. "I was hoping he wouldn't be out this long," Leavitt said. "I'm still optimistic about him playing the opener. It'd be hard for him to play in the opener if he's not back out going by Monday or Tuesday. ... Jessie's played a lot of football. Your conditioning, your timing with the quarterback, all those things."
-- Junior offensive lineman Jake Sims, competing for starting jobs at center and right tackle, continues to be limited by a muscle strain in his neck. "We're holding our breath a little bit," Leavitt said. "We're going to wait a little while with him and ... give that as much time as we need on that."

Product description
From Amazon
"A green hunting cap squeezed the top of the fleshy balloon of a head. The green earflaps, full of large ears and uncut hair and the fine bristles that grew in the ears themselves, stuck out on either side like turn signals indicating two directions at once. Full, pursed lips protruded beneath the bushy black moustache and, at their corners, sank into little folds filled with disapproval and potato chip crumbs."
Meet Ignatius J. Reilly, the hero of John Kennedy Toole's tragicomic tale, A Confederacy of Dunces. This 30-year-old medievalist lives at home with his mother in New Orleans, pens his magnum opus on Big Chief writing pads he keeps hidden under his bed, and relays to anyone who will listen the traumatic experience he once had on a Greyhound Scenicruiser bound for Baton Rouge. ("Speeding along in that bus was like hurtling into the abyss.") But Ignatius's quiet life of tyrannizing his mother and writing his endless comparative history screeches to a halt when he is almost arrested by the overeager Patrolman Mancuso--who mistakes him for a vagrant--and then involved in a car accident with his tipsy mother behind the wheel. One thing leads to another, and before he knows it, Ignatius is out pounding the pavement in search of a job.
Over the next several hundred pages, our hero stumbles from one adventure to the next. His stint as a hotdog vendor is less than successful, and he soon turns his employers at the Levy Pants Company on their heads. Ignatius's path through the working world is populated by marvelous secondary characters: the stripper Lana Lee and her talented cockatoo; the septuagenarian secretary Miss Trixie, whose desperate attempts to retire are constantly, comically thwarted; gay blade Dorian Greene; sinister Miss Lee, proprietor of the Night of Joy nightclub; and Myrna Minkoff, the girl Ignatius loves to hate. The many subplots that weave through A Confederacy of Dunces are as complicated as anything you'll find in a Dickens novel, and just as beautifully tied together in the end. But it is Ignatius--selfish, domineering, and deluded, tragic and comic and larger than life--who carries the story. He is a modern-day Quixote beset by giants of the modern age. His fragility cracks the shell of comic bluster, revealing a deep streak of melancholy beneath the antic humor. John Kennedy Toole committed suicide in 1969 and never saw the publication of his novel. Ignatius Reilly is what he left behind, a fitting memorial to a talented and tormented life. --Alix Wilber
From Library Journal
Oooo-eeee! Toole's outrageous rambling farce comes to life with the wonderful voices of Arte Johnson?surely one of the greatest matches ever of the written to the spoken word. Toole's novel, written in the early 1960s and published posthumously in the early 1980s, is one of the great comic works of the century and still fresh 35 years later. Toole's finest achievement is protagonist Ignatius J. Reilly, a great intellectual and deadbeat glutton who roams the squalor and charm of New Orleans causing enormous chaos, selling a few hot dogs from his weenie wagon, and suffering a pyloric valve shutdown at the general looniness of the characters he meets in places like the Night of Joy nightclub. Johnson has created a unique voice for each of the many fantastic, overblown crazies woven into this wild story. It's unfortunate that the audio version is abridged. Still, the spirit of the original is here. Highly recommended for all listeners who love a great belly laugh at the human condition.?Barbara Valle, El Paso P.L., TX

Aptly, this is a novel filled with deranged obsessive compulsive characters. But this plot lacks some sanity to stitch it together. The humor is overwrought and gets tiresome. I felt like I was driving a 4wd Jeep in reverse through deep crisscrossing ruts. What had started the book as a novel reading experience could no longer sustain my interest. I did finish the book but failed to understand how it has garnered so much praise, although I must admit it is unique in its excessively unprincipled weirdness.
My daughter recommended this book - she thought it was the funniest thing ever.
Well, I could not see it and did not finish reading it.
There are two levels of satire--the easy, Saturday Night Live type that pokes fun at easy figures like fatuous politicians and hypocritical ministers and then the scathing, down-deep kind that goes after everyone. This book goes after everyone, which is the source of its humor as well as its chief weakness. Jews, cops, lesbians, gay men,widows, bimbos, suburbanites, and so on and so on behave just like their worst stereotypes. If you think this is funny, read the book. If you think this is offensive, leave the book alone. If you stay for the book, you'll be treated to a rollicking, picaresque plot and encounter in Ignatius one of American literature's true originals. For what it is, A CONFEDERACY OF DUNCES is first rate.
John Kennedy Toole demonstrates a touch of genius in this indescribable satire, a genius that never got a chance to flower, as he was already dead when this book was published. His social commentary, although almost always hilarious, carries an undercurrent of despair. The multiple sub-plots and the incredible cast of characters give this novel such a rich and layered texture that a re-reading (or two or three) is almost a must. Truly one of the most unique books I've ever read.

MEDIA RELEASE - ISSUED 18th FEBRUARY 2002
Autumn rainfall odds mainly near 50%
Rainfall odds for autumn (March-May) 2002 show no big swing towards wet or dry conditions, according to the Bureau's National Climate Centre.
For most of Australia, the odds for exceeding median rainfall are between 40 and 60%. In parts of western WA, chances are slightly lower at 35 to 40%, although the outlook skill is moderate at best.
Beyond autumn, there is speculation about a possible El Niño event this year. Temperatures have increased sharply below the surface of the western and central equatorial Pacific during the past few months. Depending on other triggers, this warming trend may spread to the surface and lead to an El Niño event.
The situation remains far from certain though. Climate scientists at the Bureau of Meteorology suggest the odds for an El Niño event this year are around 50-50, which is double the normal level of risk. Autumn is the usual transition period for El Niño events and changes can occur quickly.
The National Climate Centre is keeping a very close watch on developments. The El Niño Wrap-Up page provides weekly updates of critical data.
Background Information:
More information on this outlook is available during normal office hours
from 9:00am to 5:30pm (EST) Monday to Friday by contacting the following climate
meteorologists in the National Climate Centre:

|Information on tropical cyclones
|The tropical cyclone season around northern Australia extends from November to May. The average number of cyclones per season is 9.4 (mean from 1949/50 season to 1993/94 season), with a standard deviation of 3.4. Cyclone activity in this region is related to the El Ni�o-Southern Oscillation phenomenon, with fewer than normal cyclones during El Ni�o episodes, and slightly more during La Ni�a episodes. Below is a map showing the extreme bounds of the Australian Tropical Cyclone Region (Australia's area of responsibilty).
|Frequently Asked Questions
A:General statements about the probability or risk of wetter or drier than average weather over a three-month period. The outlooks are based on the statistics of chance (the odds) taken from rainfall and sea surface temperature records. They are not, however, categorical predictions about future rainfall, and they are not about rainfall within individual months of the three-month outlook period.
A:Being above or below the median rainfall, average maximum temperature, or average minimum temperature for the three-month period.
The median is a useful measure of "normal" rainfall. In the long term, rainfall is above median in one half of years, and below median in the other half.
For example, from July to September at Mackay in Queensland, one-half of 3-month rainfall totals have been below 80mm, and one-half have been above. If rainfall was above 80mm in that period it would be "wetter than average" or above median. Over the long haul there is a 50% chance of this occurring. In terms of odds this is even money.
Note that the average maximum temperature is the average of all the daily highest temperatures for the period.
Similarly, the average minimum temperature is the average of all the daily lowest temperatures for the period
A: In the places and seasons where the outlooks are most skilful, the eventual outcome (above or below median) is correctly given the higher chance about 70 to 80% of the time. In the least skilful areas, the outlooks perform no better than random chance or guessing. The rainfall outlooks perform best in eastern and northern Australia between July and January, but are less useful in autumn and in the west of the continent. The skill at predicting seasonal maximum temperature peaks in early winter and drops off marginally during the second half of the year. The lowest point in skill occurs in early autumn. The skill at predicting seasonal minimum temperature peaks in late autumn and again in mid-spring. There are also two distinct periods when the skill is lowest - namely late summer and mid-winter. However, it must always be remembered that the outlooks are statements of chance or risk. For example, if you were told there was a 50:50 chance of a horse winning a race but it ran second, the original assessment of a 50:50 chance could still have been correct.
Q: WILL CATEGORICAL OUTLOOKS EVER BE ISSUED? (Eg. It WILL be drier than average.)
A: Very unlikely. There is a certain level of natural variability in the climate which is chaotic and unpredictable. This is particularly the case with rainfall. For example, rainfall in a season can be significantly above average in one region, and significantly below average less than 50km away.
A: As another tool in risk management and decision making. The benefits accrue from long-term use, say over 10 years. At any given time, the probabilities may seem inaccurate, but taken over several years, the advantages of taking account of the risks will outweigh the disadvantages. For more information on the use of probabilities, farmers could contact their local departments of agriculture or primary industry.
|Definitions and Explanations....
THE SOUTHERN OSCILLATION INDEX (SOI) is calculated using the barometric pressure difference between Tahiti and Darwin.
The SOI is one indicator of the stage of El Ni�o or La Ni�a events in the tropical Pacific Ocean. It is best considered in conjunction with sea-surface temperatures, which form the basis of the outlooks.
A strongly negative SOI (below -10) is characteristic of El Ni�o, which is often associated with below average rainfall over eastern Australia, and a weaker than normal monsoon in the north.
A strongly positive SOI (above +10) is characteristic of La Ni�a, which is often associated with above average rainfall over parts of tropical and eastern Australia, and an earlier than normal start to the northern monsoon season.
El Niño & La Niña
El Ni�o translates from Spanish as "the boy-child", and refers to the extensive warming of the central and eastern Pacific Ocean.
La Ni�a translates from Spanish as "the girl-child", and refers to the extensive cooling of the central and eastern Pacific Ocean. The term has recently become the conventional label for the opposite of El Ni�o.
See http://www.bom.gov.au/climate/glossary/elnino.shtml for more on SOI and El Ni�o.

Rear-seat entertainment (RSE) systems have become as much a part of the family road trip as "Punch Buggy" and "Counting Blue Cars" used to be. These electronic babysitters help keep kids in the backseat quiet...and help parents and the driver keep their sanity.
Most headphones that come with factory and aftermarket RSE systems are designed for larger heads, so parents often have to spend time adjusting the fit as well as the volume to keep kids happy. Many parents are also concerned about the effects on young ears of listening to a movie or video game for hours with headphones.
Two companies have recently introduced headphones specifically designed for kids' heads and ears, but they take different approaches. Kidz Gear offers wireless headphones ($29.99) that work with any RSE system and use infrared (IR) to receive an audio signal, while Griffin Technology's MyPhones ($39.99) are wired and limit volume to 85 decibels to protect young ears.
The disparity between these two pairs of kids' headphones couldn't be more black and white — literally. The Kidz Gear headphones are black and the ear caps have a rounded, almost retro look; Griffin's MyPhones are white and have clear ear caps that can be removed to change decorative inserts.
From a technology and convenience standpoint, they also take divergent approaches since the Kidz Gear headphones are wireless and the Griffin MyPhones are not. This means you can use the Kidz Gear headphones with almost all factory and aftermarket rear-entertainment systems, but you can only use the Griffin MyPhones with ones that have inputs for wired headphones.
While the KidzGear headphones come with volume controls and a power on/off switch (and, like most RSE wireless headphones, have an auto-off feature to keep from draining the batteries), Griffin's MyPhones have a set volume. Griffin's MyPhones also come in a cool clamshell carrying case with three different sets of decorative inserts for the ear caps, as well as blank templates that kids can color to create their own designs.
There's no installation required with either of the headphones we tested, beyond taking them out of the packaging and inserting two AA batteries into the Kidz Gear headphones. The Griffin MyPhones are literally a plug-and-play product: Just connect the 50-inch cord to a headphone jack, and you're good to go.
On the Road
We tested the two sets of headphones in a variety of vehicles with stock RSE systems, including a Dodge Ram pickup, Lexus RX 450h and Toyota Sienna. But we did the majority of testing in a 2008 Honda CR-V LX AWD with an Audiovox VOD10PS2 overhead video console that was installed as part of a larger OEM upgrade.
We enlisted the help of a12-year-old and 9-year-old to test the Kidz Gear and Griffin headphones, although the 12-year-old found both sets of headphones too small. We then compared them to the full-size wireless headphones that came with the Audiovox video console.
The Audiovox headphones are so large that they almost float on the 9-year-old's head, even when adjusted to their smallest size, so he was a perfect candidate to test both sets of headphones. And, of course, we had no problem coercing him into helping with the testing since it meant he got to watch movies and play video games in the car.
He spent about eight hours on various trips comparing the three sets of headphones. After each testing session, we asked what he thought and his reply was always the same: He thought that the Kidz Gear headphones were the most comfortable and had the most "realistic" sound of the three. He also liked the fit of the Griffin MyPhones but complained that they weren't loud enough, particularly when cruising at highway speed.
Before this, he never complained about the headphones that came with the Audiovox system, even though they're too large for his head. And the snug fit of the Kidz Gear headphones could be the reason he thought that they sounded more realistic.
From our test, we concluded that the Griffin MyPhones are best suited to younger kids, who may not complain about the lack of volume and may like their design. And to be fair, they're not specifically designed for in-car use, though having a carry case is a great convenience. But there's also the disadvantage of having to plug them in, which may not work with every rear-entertainment system (such as we experienced in the Lexus RX 450h and Dodge Ram).
While the Kidz Gear headphones are slightly less expensive than the Griffin MyPhones (by $10), the Griffin MyPhones can also be used at home — for when kids play games or watch a movie on the computer, for example. There is an IR transmitter available for the Kidz Gear headphones ($14.95) that allows them to be used at home, and the company also sells wired headphones for $16.99.
Why You Want It
While both sets of headphones are designed for kids, the Griffin MyPhones are better for younger kids, while the Kidz Gear headphones are more suited to older kids. When one of our testers was younger, his parents had a car with a video system and recalled that he would have to hold the headphones to keep them from sliding off his ears. His parents would frequently have to adjust the volume when he accidentally turned the headphones down or turned them off. The Griffin MyPhones would have been ideal at that age — if the system had come equipped with an appropriate jack, which it didn't.
Perhaps a reason to consider one of these aftermarket kid-friendly headphones is if the ones that came with a stock or aftermarket RSE system have been lost or damaged. By calling dealers' parts departments, I found that Lexus charges as much as $160 for replacements, while Dodge charges $63 and Toyota, $51, although some of these are dual-channel headphones that can tune into two separate sources, such as a DVD or a radio station, on two different channels. Audiovox charges only $14 for replacement headphones and you can also find aftermarket single-channel headphones for less. But in general, all of these can still cost more than the Kidz Gear headphones.
Others To Consider: Kidz Gear wired headphones ($16.99).

Remember when Comfort was the best b-girl Nigel had ever seen? When it was easy to confuse Courtney with Kourtni and Chelsie with Chelsea? When we still had Twitchington? We've come a long way already this season on So You Think You Can Dance, and tonight, it all comes down to the big finale. But before Katee, Courtney, Joshua, and Twitch square off, I wanted to revisit some of my favorite routines from this season so far. This list could have been a lot longer if I'd included solos (Will's James Brown number would have been on for sure) and group numbers ("The Rose" from last week), so I stuck to just the duets. Even so, it was a tough cut. Want to see what made it? Just hit "Start."

The Hamptons may be internationally renowned as a playground for the rich and famous, but there's so much more to this striking region on the eastern end of Long Island, New York than parties and polo within Gatsby-esque luxury homes. For starters, while the sidewalks of the hamlets and villages that make up the area collectively known as The Hamptons are often teeming with a who's who of bold-face names and C-suite executives, the beaches are the real stars here.Đọc thêm về các căn nhà cao cấp tại The Hamptons And North Fork

Modern English is swamped with words borrowed from other languages. One does not have to be a specialist to notice the presence of the Romance element in it or to guess that samovar has come from Russian and samurai, from Japanese. It is the details that, as usual, pose problems. Not only does the source of a word often remain unclear (from Latin or from French? from German or from Dutch?); in many cases the central question-native or borrowed-cannot be answered. Words come in from the cold and are not in a hurry to reveal their past.
The verb pour was first recorded in 1330, and its pronunciation has not been stable: Tennyson still rhymed pour and flower; consequently, we are not sure how the original form sounded. An English word that first turned up in a text so late may have been borrowed from French. Yet no French, let alone Latin, verb with a comparable meaning is known, and none of its analogs seems to exist in the living Romance languages. The closest approximation to Middle English pouren is Latin purare "purify," with some of its modern continuations in Romance meaning "to scum" and "drip, flow out." But English pour never meant "purify" or "drip," and the absence of a missing link makes the reconstruction–Old French purer to Middle English pouren–suspect. Although Walter W. Skeat, the author of the best English etymological dictionary (4th edition, 1910), was ready to trace pour to French, the Oxford English Dictionary (OED) rejected his derivation and preferred the verdict "of uncertain origin." All the post-OED dictionaries say the same. Pore "look intently" has nothing to do with pour. Perhaps pour is a native word after all. If so, its etymon, that is, the form from which it developed, has not been found. Or is pour an "echoic" (onomatopoeic) verb like purr and renders the sound of a liquid slowly flowing out of a vessel? I am afraid no one will accept this hypothesis.
In investigating the history of pour, we had practically nothing to choose from. In other cases we are baffled by the embarrass de richesse (I may perhaps be excused for using a French idiom in a story of borrowings). Buck goes back to Old English and has cognates in German, Dutch, and the Scandinavian languages. Old French bouc "billy goat" is believed to have been taken over from Germanic. The problem is that, wherever we look, we find the name of a male deer, bull, goat, and lamb beginning with the syllable bok ~ buk-, as in the Sanskrit bukka, Old Irish bocc, Armenian buc, Polish byk, and others. Are all of them related? Some researchers make do with the vague statement that we are confronted by a most ancient word. Others derive this animal name from an echoic verb for lowing. Indeed, the first sound in Latin bos "cow" and its cognates is also b-. One could have expected more animal names of this type to begin with m-, as in moo, but b- is also fine, as bellow, bleat, and German brüllen "roar," show. The question is whether people in many places invented a similar word because they heard a similar noise or whether a root word was coined by speakers of one language and then spread to neighboring territories. Is buck Germanic or a migratory word of uncertain provenance? A definitive answer can hardly be given. To make matters worse, bull (along with its Germanic cognates) also begins with bu-, and there is an opinion that it, too, has a sound imitative root. But here most etymologists doubt the onomatopoeic connection and derive bull from ball "testicle"; the original meaning comes out as "producer." Wherever the truth may be, at least it is good to know that once some young bucks sprang from native soil.

Distinguish between the pros and the no's.
The alternatives category provides an exciting new approach to the old asset-allocation conundrum. Many investors seek the long-term return potential of the stock market, but bail out when volatility creeps up a few notches, only to miss out on any sort of recovery. The difficulty for advisors is how best to dampen volatility in their clients' portfolios, so that it's palatable during turbulent times, while still insuring that their clients will have adequate funds for retirement. A long-short equity fund may be just the solution. Since these funds can short securities, managers can hedge the portfolio and boost returns in a down market. But buyers beware; not every long-short fund is good. In fact, the average long-short mutual fund manager has lost money over the last one and three years (ended Sept. 30), while the S&P 500 is up. Several long-short managers have handily beaten the market, however, on both a total-return and risk-adjusted return basis. Here are a few traits that separate the good from the bad.
Proven Short-Seller
Conveniently, the first characteristic of the most skilled long-short managers can be found right in the category's name: short(ing). Despite the number of funds that short (there are more than 70 long-short equity funds), there are few that are good at it. Although screening on a manager's short performance is difficult (funds are not required to segregate long and short performance), one way to determine a manager's shorting acumen is see how much alpha (or outperformance above the fund's exposure to the market, or beta) a fund provided during a market's rough patch, which is when a shorting strategy should pay off. Of the 27 funds around in 2008, only 10 exhibited alpha.
Besides looking at past performance, one should also investigate a manager's shorting background. Pay close attention to specific experience related to short-selling. A manager with long-only experience exclusively may not be an ideal candidate for a long-short fund. Managers tend to be better at short-selling if they couple their security valuation and selection with some sort of timing discipline. Most hedge fund managers use technical indicators, such as momentum. The reason is as follows: A losing short position becomes a larger part of the portfolio because the stock is going up (and can keep going), while a losing long position becomes a smaller part of the portfolio, and can only go to zero. A badly timed short position can be much more costly than a poorly timed long call.
Wasatch Long/Short
Diamond Hill Long Short
When selecting a long-only manager, choosing a skilled market-timer is often not high on the priority list. More often, managers are judged on how they perform against their peers, so managers with laserlike focus on their sector or style of expertise are often preferred. But long-short managers can boldly go, well, anywhere and have the freedom to raise or lower market exposure, which affects the funds' total return. Therefore, part of a long-short manager's value-added is not just to pick the right stocks, but also to time the market.
These days stocks both within and across sectors are more highly correlated than ever (as measured by the CBOE S&P 500 Implied Correlation Index, for example), so a long-short manager needs a greater grasp of the fundamental macroeconomic environment. Most long-short managers such as Highland Long/Short
A few long-short managers actually start the security selection process with macroeconomic research. Marketfield

" Brand: Tigi / Subcategory: Treatment / Type: Conditioner / What it does: Smoothes, Protects "
* Prices may differ from that shown
This is described as an espresso shot for hair. That sold it to me!
This is aimed more to tame curls and straighten them up and bring them under control or alternatively what a hairdresser did for me, was use it on frizzy hair. I wouldn't say I was an extreme case :) but the hairdressers found this worked even better especially in the summer and when using heating products.
Like the L'oreal super sleek range, this is the TIGI version that is great to protect your hair against UV rays, I found this particularly helped the colour of my hair look more vibrant and fresh.
This did not cleanse the scalp and remove the product build-up as much as I'd like but it's not exactly designed for that.
This is when you want to really use all the heating products and want to push the boat out but not create damaged hair.
I wouldn't say long term this is good for frizzy hair, its 'more in the moment' so if you're looking for a treatment this is not it.
The scent of this product is the usual BED HEAD standard and makes you feel like your stepping out of a salon and less medicinal than the L'oreal range will smell due to the EUCALYPTUS in their ranges.
The results are really good and very effective all night long. My hair was super shiny, sleek and frizz-free.
This is at a price that is actually similar to L'oreal for £6.99 which is very good and reassuring that when you run out you can think and know its affordable.
TIGI Bedhead Extreme Straight Conditioner Strength is improved for easier combing with reduced breakage humidity resistance is amped up for zero frizz and a shot of straightening booster is infused into the mix for a flawless finish / Hair is left strong smooth shiny and so very soft with protection against UV rays and thermal heat /

Aurora Educational Strategies, the leader in accelerated learning, has named Neal Howard as their new Vice President of Development.
In his new position Mr. Howard will be responsible for leading the sales and marketing teams, producing events, and establishing and maintaining relationships with parents of students, and corporate sponsors.
Auroras needs-based and merit-based scholarship programs are innovative and have been very successful.

As a father of an incredible little boy with special needs, I know there is nothing more important than finding the right tools to help children and young adults who may learn differently, be able to succeed, said Mr. Howard. Im proud to be joining the Aurora team, and to be part of the very real success that Aurora makes possible for so many families.

Herbs are a great way to liven up any dish by adding flavor without adding salt, fat, and sugar. Researchers are now finding that many culinary herbs also have antioxidants that may help protect against such disease as cancer and heart disease. Not only is growing herbs good for your health but also your bank account! I love incorporating fresh herbs into eMeals menus during the warmer months when I can grow them myself. This is a fun family friendly activity that can be enjoyed all summer long!
I started out with a vintage tin I found at one of my favorite antique stores. Be creative with the container! Paint a pot as a family, use a colander, baking pan, or any other found container. Just make sure to add holes for drainage. Next, I picked my favorite herbs to cook with: sweet basil, cilantro, and oregano. Make sure when picking herbs that they require all the same amount of light and water. Fill pot with plant and vegetable potting soil and plant food. Add herbs, cover with more soil, and water. I also added fun metal garden labels. Another affordable alternative would be labeling popsicle sticks.
The ideal time for picking your herbs is in the morning before the dew has dried but before the sun gets hot. This helps ensure the best flavor and storage quality. Do not harvest more than a third of the plant at any given time. Make sure to wash herbs before cooking under running water and patting dry with paper towels. When substituting dried herbs with fresh ones use 3 times as much as you would use of a dried herb. (Dried herbs have a more concentrated flavor than fresh). You can also freeze herbs by removing the leaves from stems, rinsing and drying leaves, and placing them in a heavy-duty sealed plastic bag for up to 6 months.
Happy harvesting!

pretty wonderfulI ordered this lace wig and it is pretty wonderful. You can part in anywhere on the head and you can see a part. The hair is really nice. You may order Silky straight or yaki straight. I ordered the yaki and it is truly the good stuff. looks totally real. Curled it last night. So far holds a decent curl. The lace is nice too. It is not hard like some of the lace wigs in the local stores. I know it's hard to buy something over the internet and I was skeptical but I talked with the seller and she was more than helpful about my transaction. I am happy that everything worked out. Oh! and it is light as a feather with this hot weather. I have not tried to do an updo but we will see. Ask for what you want and they will make it happen. I will order from this seller again.

If this is your first time to buy a wig, we highly recommend you to read these questions carefully.
We also list some styles which is easy to style and care for first time wig users. Please check here: http://www.evawigs.com/50-my-first-wig
1.How to Apply My Wig and Create a Natural Hairline?
Please watch our how to apply EvaWigs glueless full lace wig video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LxDwvu-e9rc&list=PLqp70UU4CzAnmjym15ia8Cp2g17TzjNlR
More details about how to apply EvaWigs full lace wigs and hair extensions are included in the User's Manual book in your package.
2. I have read a lot of articles about "How to Wash" in different versions, which is the correct one?
First of all, please DO NOT SOAK your wig or extensions, instead rinsing your hair just like the pictures show below.
3. Can I cut or restyle the wig by myself?
Yes, you can cut and restyle it based on the professional guide by the hairdressers in your local place.
4. How Long Can I Expect My Wig to Last?
The life of your wig will depend on your use and care of it. If handled properly, it should last you 6 months to a year and even longer depending on your handling and use.
5. Can I Get My Wig Exactly Like the Picture?
In one word, all the wigs in the same style are sisters, not twins.
Because all the full lace wigs are hand-tied, dyed, and styled one by one personally, so there might be a little difference between each other.
But we highly recommend you to slightly alter your wig according to your own face shape under your hairdresser's suggestion if necessary.
6. How to Maintain the Curls of My Wig?
Curly hair needs special cares, first of all, do not brush your curls. Comb conditioner through your hair while washing, towel dry and style it with your fingers to prevent frizz.
7. Why need such a long time to customize a wig? How can I get my wig before my schedule?
All our full lace wigs are hand-tied one thread by another, this is the most time-consuming process.
Normally, we need 30-35 working days to customize your wig, while a rush order needs 15-20 working days. We highly recommend you to order the wig one to two months earlier before your occasion.
Or, please choose our stock wigs which only need 7 working days to prepare before shipping.
8. Why some people buy two wigs at a time?
Wigs are a kind of accessories, divas need different styles to match their OOTD.
9. Bleached knots or silk top?
Bleaching hair knots is a way to make the wig parting invisible, by bleaching the hair knots similar to the lace. But please attention that, we do not bleach the knots for #1 jet black color wigs, because the the color is too dark, the lighter color we bleach, the more fragile the knots will be.
Silk top is a part of lace (the same color as your cap lace) sewed in the forehead where you might part your wig to cover the hair knots, to make your parting look very natural.
Silk top is a more expensive way to make your wig look more natural, but it's more and more popular now.
10. How to Choose the Right Length of My Wig? And How to Measure the Wig Length?
As the wig length will look shorter for bigger head compared to smaller one, so we have figured out an easy way to find your perfect hair length.
Step 1. Find your length you want, like to your collarbone, or under your bust?
Step 2. Measure across your top head from one side to another.
Step 3. Read the ruler, and then divided by two, the result will be your dream hair length. If the result number is not an even number, just plus one inch.
Please note: this way is only for the center part, non-assymetrical cut hair, for assymetrical hair length, please measure the longest part of the hair.
For the wig length, please measure from the hair top to the hair ends. Just like the picture show below:
11. How to Tame the Flyaways?
Please read our blog here: http://blog.evawigs.com/three-ways-to-tame-flyaways-of-human-hair-wigs/
For more questions, please feel free to contact email@example.com
Wig: The wig you received might be out of shape because of the squeeze in the transport. But you can re-curl and re-straighten it for a full lace human hair wig.
For a wig with bangs, normally we keep the bangs longer to fit divas' forehead shape. You can cut it as you want.
Free Gifts: one weaving cap, one comb with EvaWigs logo.
Read More: Packaging
After-sale Care
Please read our ways for washing a full lace human hair wig carefully.
Read More: How To Wash A Human Hair Wig
Restyle & Redye
For a full lace human hair, it can be re-curl and re-straighten by using a curling/flat iron. If you wanna re-dye the wig at home, please order a natural color, no dyed wig. Leave us a message like that "I wanna dye the wig myself, give me a no-dyed, natural colored wig" when you place your order. Because our wig color is dyed deepest into the hair to avoid the fading. It's hard to redye if you wig is not virgin and natural color.
Note: EvaWigs do not take any responsibility for the damage for a second dyeing and restyling. It's better to restyle and redye in the local barbershop.
Learn how to wear a full lace human hair wig correctly, please chick here: How to Put on a Wig
To avoid stretching the cap, never place a wet wig on a mannequin or styrofoam head.

Barack Obama tells Jay-Z he needs to be a 'hands-on dad' for Blue Ivy Carter
Jay-Z has been advised to focus on being a 'hands-on dad' to his ten-month-old daughter Blue Ivy Carter by none other than US president
Barack Obama.
Dad-of-two Mr Obama, 51, revealed to Ohio radio station Z1079, the 42-year-old rapper had asked him for parenting tips.
'I made sure that Jay-Z was helping Beyoncé out and not leaving it all with mum and the mother-in-law,' Obama revealed.
He also said he and his wife Michelle consider the famous couple amongst their good friends.
'I've gotten to know these guys over the first several years. They're good people. They're down to earth.
'Beyoncé could not be sweeter to Michelle and the girls. So they're good friends. They really are down-to-earth folks. We talk about the same things I talk about with all my friends.'
The president's favourite Jay Z track is My First Song, as it reminds him to 'stay hungry', he said.
