Mates of State's music isn't the stuff of unplugged busking in subway stations, or of singing listeners to sleep. It's big, broad and bold — voices shouting in unison over arrangements that swell and billow. In short, it may be too expansive to fit behind Bob Boilen's desk, let alone find an appropriate showcase at noontime on a fall day with lots of natural light.

As a young soldier during World War II, Aaron Fussell landed on Omaha Beach as part of the D-Day invasion in Europe and later fought in the Battle of the Bulge. Like so many of the brave young men who surrounded him, he was a small-town guy, in his case from Rose Hill in Duplin County. . Fussell wasnt far from home when he died Monday at the age of 91.
Having what it takes to survive 318 days of continuous combat during the war, Fussell turned out to be the perfect person to lead Wake County schools as superintendent through a peaceful integration and then the merger of Wake and Raleigh city schools in 1976. His was a reasoned voice and a brave voice in those times.
Many other school districts around the South endured violent confrontations during the integration period, with some even having to close schools and work under court orders. Fussell helped lay the foundation for what today is an excellent school system.
Some would call him a glutton for punishment for later serving in the General Assembly, but Fussell, a former school principal, was made of the right stuff. As a legislator, he pushed laws making seat belts mandatory, establishing a basic education curriculum and setting watershed rules. Befitting Fussells experience as a school man, his attendance at the legislature was perfect for 14 of his 16 years in office.
What positive, thoughtful and lasting contributions Aaron Fussell made to his community.

ATHENS -- Jordan Jenkins remembers the call when he told Kirby Smart. Jenkins always thought he would go to Alabama, and he saw himself playing for Smart, the defensive coordinator for the perennial national title contender.
But when it came time to decide last January, the linebacker from Harris County found himself telling Smart he was staying home and going to Georgia.
It was a hard call, because Coach Smart was that cool kind of guy youre friends with, Jenkins said.
It was the same phone call that many key players on both sides have had to make. The two teams that will meet in the Georgia Dome for the SEC championship have not played each other since 2008, but theyve spent much of the past four years clashing on the recruiting trail.
What we try to do in our recruiting is do a really good job in a five-hour radius of our Tuscaloosa area, Alabama head coach Nick Saban said. We obviously want to do a great job in our own state. It just happens that a large part of Georgia where theres a lot of population, a lot of good football players and programs, fall into that sort of circumference.
Georgia head coach Mark Richt was asked if there have been more recruiting battles with Alabama the past few years.
I think there is, Richt said. There certainly has been lately. More so maybe in the last few years.
It was the 2011 recruiting class, or Georgias so-called Dream Team class, which saw a ton of players narrow their choices down to the two schools. Isaiah Crowell was the most high-profile player; when he famously raised the English bulldog at his signing ceremony, the other option could have been an elephant.
Malcolm Mitchell, Georgias star receiver, said his final two was Alabama and Georgia. Mitchell is good friends with Xzavier Dickson, the linebacker from Griffin who picked the Crimson Tide over the Bulldogs.
Cornerback Damian Swann, defensive end Ray Drew and tight end Jay Rome were other key members of the Dream Team class. They all had Alabama in their final two or three.
Alabama cornerback Geno Smith, tailback Kenyon Drake, linebacker Dillon Lee and offensive lineman Brandon Greene all considered Georgia, too. Lees brother, Dallas, is Georgias starting left guard. The Crimson Tide count 18 players on their active roster from the state to their east.
We do have some very good players from Georgia, Saban said. They have a lot of good players from Georgia, too. I think it speaks well of the great high school football they have in Georgia, the good programs they have, how players are developed, how important football is in that state.
When Saban arrived, one of the first Georgia recruits he pursued heavily was offensive lineman Cordy Glenn. Saban lost that one, as Glenn went on to a four-year career at Georgia and is now the Buffalo Bills starting left tackle.
That set the tone for what was to come, said Rusty Mansell, a longtime recruiting analyst who works for Dawgs247.com.
Alabamas interest in Georgia players and success in reaching into the state climbed to another level for another reason: Smart. The former Georgia player and assistant coach is now Alabamas defensive coordinator. His father, Sonny Smart, coached high school football in Georgia. So Smart has a lot of connections.
I think its pretty obvious that when Kirby Smart came to Alabama (six years ago), that the state of Georgia was a key area to them, Mansell said. It seemed like there were more Georgia-Auburn battles leading up to that. But when Kirby Smart arrived, you could tell there would be more Georgia-Alabama battles.
In fact, Alabama now has four assistant coaches whose recruiting area includes Georgia.
This past year, Georgia was able to keep some key players from going to Alabama.
Tailback Keith Marshall had an offer from Alabama, although his final decision came down to Clemson and Georgia. John Theus had an Alabama offer, as well as from basically any program in the Southeast. But Theus committed early to Georgia and stuck with it.
Safety Josh Harvey-Clemons had an Alabama offer, but his decision came down to Georgia and Florida.
Its not gonna change. Its just not, Mansell said. You see Alabama with three or four coaches that have areas in coverage. Thats almost how you recruit your home state.

Niagara Gazette
Niagara Gazette — TOWN OF NIAGARA — The owners of the Fashion Outlets of Niagara mall will not be offering new leases to residents of an adjacent mobile home park they purchased earlier this month.
Residents of Sabre Park received papers Thursday confirming what most of the mobile home owners suspected — the mall will not continue to operate the property as a mobile home park long-term and, as a result, they will be forced to leave.
Macerich Partnership, L.P. bought the mall last summer for $200 million. The company acquired a $6.4 million lien on the mobile home park last year. It then purchased the Sabre Park land at a foreclosure auction for $4 million through a subsidiary called Fashion Outlets II, LLC.
The notice delivered to Sabre Park residents this week from Fashion Outlets II, LLC informed them that the company has "decided to change the use of this property" and that is is required by law to inform all tenants. The letter goes on to say that tenants will need to "seek other accommodations and move out of the park."
The notice states that all current leases will be honored, but that tenants who do not keep up on rent are subject to eviction and will be responsible for a portion of the company's attorney fees if litigation is necessary.
Robert Kehoe has been living in Sabre Park for almost a decade. He said that he now knows that the work he has been putting into improving his trailer — new carpets, a new roof, replacing the siding — will have been for nothing. He has asked managers of other mobile home parks how much it would cost to move his home and they have told him that the cost would make the move unreasonable, he said.
"They said that the house is too old and I'd be better off buying new," Kehoe said.
Mark Kassab, who is identified as an agent for the park's owner, circulated another document later on Thursday with a buy-out offer for tenants who are willing to vacate by March 1, 2013.
In exchange for an early exit, the mall will not require tenants to continue paying rent and will give them a check for $800 after they have left, according to an Oct. 25 letter from Kassab. Tenants need to decide whether they will take the deal by Nov. 10, according to the document.
Both Kassab and representatives from Macerich did not respond to requests for comment.
Kehoe said that he has been seeking a loan for a new house and that he was told that his credit was good enough to get a loan, but that the bank is asking more for information about his disability status. He has not been working because of a back injury and will soon, again, require surgery.
"All this is coming everything all at once here," he said.
Kehoe doesn't feel as though he will have enough information to make a good decision on whether to take the mall's deal by the deadline, he said.
Dawn Zaker lives in the home with Kehoe. She said that they, and many of their neighbors, have been putting a lot of thought into signing the dotted line in a few weeks.
"In our situation it's not a lot of time to really think about it," Zaker said. "It's almost like hurry up and make your decision and then four months later you've got to be out of here."

Bringing You The Bull And Bear Case From The Markets Desk
Credit default swaps (CDS) have once again been thrust into the general public's attention, as the International Swaps and Derivatives Association ruled that as of Thursday, the Greek debt restructuring hadn't triggered a "credit event." In other words, Greece hasn't defaulted, yet.
While some may ask themselves why we're spending so much time talking about Greek CDS, given net notional value of CDS outstanding on Greece is around $3.2 billion and thus doesn't pose systemic risk, it is defining moment for the CDS market. As things stand, it does seem like the Greek restructuring will indeed trigger some CDS in the near future. The story is quite complicated, though.
Credit events, or defaults, are determined by a 15-person committee upon receipt of a question regarding a specific contract, in this case, relating to two different series of Greek sovereign bonds. It's important to note that the committee is made up by major Wall Street names including Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, and Morgan Stanley, along with big European names like Barclays, BNP Paribas, Societe Generale, Deutsche Bank, and asset managers/hedge funds like D.E. Shaw, Citadel, and PIMCO.
No matter what the ISDA says, conflicts of interest are unavoidable. For example, after the ISDA's announcement on Thursday, PIMCO founder and co-CIO Bill Gross criticized the decision, saying it set a "dangerous precedent," according to Reuters. Gross was essentially saying that while it is perfectly clear for anyone that the write-down (and approximately 70% haircut) on Greek sovereign bonds should be considered a default, it wasn't being ruled as one by the governing body. Note that PIMCO voted in line with every other member of the committee.
So what's going on?
CDS are over-the-counter instruments governed by contracts signed by parties involved, they constitute what could be called a private market. Thus, while it may appear ridiculous to some that what is clearly a default isn't being considered one, it is in the ISDA's full right to do that. As an ISDA spokesman told me, if you don't like it, don't buy CDS.
At the same time, CDS aren't cheap hedging tools that retail investors generally have access to, as a former CDS trader for a major bank explained. "It's very hard," he said "even for hedge funds with $30 million [under management] to hedge with CDS." At the end of the day, CDS are tools used both for hedging and speculating. According to the trader, the speculator is being screwed at the expense of the hedger, or the larger institutions.
Looking a bit more closely at the specifics of the Greek situation, the ISDA spokesman explained that its harder to draw a line in the sand when we are talking about sovereigns, as compared with private firms where determining a bankruptcy is quite simple. In terms of Greek CDS, the problem hinges on the definition of "voluntary."
The Greek PSI or restructuring deal was designed to avoid triggering CDS contracts (former ECB chief Jean Claude Trichet once said defaults were "taboo"). Thus, private bondholders were told the debt swap was "voluntary," despite being forced to take a 70% haircut. If you have CDS protection that would pay in the case of default, why would you take the haircut? Because politics is the name of the game, and as an analyst at a major investment bank told me, "European governments can exert a lot of influence."
If bondholders were to voluntarily swap their bonds, there would be no credit event. The problem is some Greek creditors, presumably the speculators and smaller players, are expected to hold out, and if the Greek government doesn't achieve a 90% rate, then the second bailout (which is what this is all about, at the end of the day) will be called off.
Once Goldman got bailed out by the Fed they should have lost the right to arbitrate at least previous agreements.
Bring back regulations for these twirps that do not have any desire to operate in "good faith". It is not enough Goldman operate like a casino with odds in their favour but now they do not admit to the obvious. These guys are not moraly fit to operate a hot dog stand.
If the the mortgage CDS market is private as you say the why did the Federal Reserve print TRILLIONS of dollars to pay off every mortgage CDS held by every bank and investor 100 cents on the dollar in every country in the world with American taxpayer debt. That does not sound like a "private" market to me.
Was there a Greek default? Are you going to believe the ISDA or your lying eyes?
Seriously, why will players come to the table if they know the game is rigged?
In life you have to know where you stand in the food chain, and the insiders (Greek government, the Troika, and the major financial institutions) have told investors that they are big enough to bet (ie put money into the pot), but they are not big enough to win.
Political risk turned out to be bigger than they thought.
Greece confirmed that it had achieved an 85.8% participation rate on its debt exchange just short of the required 90+% rate. So would this amount to calling off the whole deal as such? would'nt that then send the financial alarm bells ringing ?

Genesis appears to present contradictory views about Cain's father. In one view, Cain is Adam's son, born of Eve. Genesis 4:1 says, "Adam knew/lay (yadah) with his wife Eve, and she became pregnant and gave birth to Cain." It should be noted that the Hebrew and the Greek versions do not explicitly name Adam in this verse. Instead they read, "The man knew his wife Eve, and she conceived and bore Cain."
Contrast this with Genesis 4:25 which says "Adam knew his wife again, and she gave birth to a son whom she named Seth."
Why is Adam not named as Cain's father in Genesis 4:1 while Adam is explicitly named as Seth's father in Genesis 4:25?
It is possible that the Biblical writers were troubled by the correspondences between the Cain and Abel story and the Egyptian myth of Horus and Set. Set would be the type of Cain and Abel the type of Horus who was said to be slain by his brother Set. This correspondence suggests that Cain is linked in ancient memory with Set or Ta-Seti, the Land of Nubia. Since Abraham's father is also linked to Nubia, this is not as far fetched as it may seem.
The Kinship Data
Analysis of the Genesis 4 and 5 King Lists reveals that Cain married a woman who named their first-born son Enoch. Enoch is not a name, but rather a title that means "ruler-to be" and Enosh (Seth's firstborn son by his cousin wife) is the linguistic equivalent of Enoch. Both represent a royal title.
Enoch appears to be a Semitic form of the African name Nok. The Nok civilization extended from northern Nigeria into Niger, Chad and the Sudan. Here we find the ancient settlements of Nok and Kano. Kano is likely the African version of the name Kayan/Qayin.
This is also the region where we must look for the meaning of the name Enoch. It is likely derived from anochi which means "one who replaces." Enoch is then a royal title.
What is the significance of Cain's wife naming their first-born son Enoch or Nok? If she named her son after her father, as did Naaman, a later descendant of Cain, we may conclude that she was Cain's cousin or niece wife. It was the cousin of niece wives who named their first-born sons after their fathers. This would mean that Cain's father-in-law was called Enoch. Enoch the Elder would have been Cain's father's brother. This could not be Adam, since the Bible insists that Adam represents the first human created. As such, Adam would have lived millions of years ago. The oldest human fossils are about 3.4 million years.
So according to the information in Genesis, Cain was either the son of Adam and Eve and lived millions of years ago, or he was the son of Enoch's brother and lived around the time of the Proto-Saharan ruler Meni/Menes who united the Nile Valley.
How are we to resolve this apparent contradiction? One approach is to investigate the meaning of the name Cain and its related cognates.
Etiology of the name Cain
As E.A. Speiser noted that the name Cain - Qany(ty) or Qan itti - shows close affinity to the Akkadian itti (as in itti šarrim which means "with the king" or possibly "against the king.") Akkadian was the language of the empire during Nimrod's time (BC 2290-2215). There is evidence that biblical Nimrod is the historical Sargon the Great. Genesis 10 tells us that Nimrod was a Kushite, so it is not surprising to find that Akkadian shares many words with Nilotic languages. Among the Oromo of Ethiopia and Somalia, itti is attached to names. Examples include Kaartuumitti, Finfinneetti and Dimashqitti. That itti is associated with Nilotic rulers is evident in the name Nefertitti.
|The Oromo, a Kushitic people
Cain as warrior and metal worker
Shalom E. Holtz (Yeshiva University, New York) has demonstrated, itti can mean "against" as is evidenced from its appearance in numerous cases of adversarial relationships in the Old Testament. Since the meaning of Cain is "spear" and he is associated with metal work, we might take Cain to be a metalworking warrior. Genesis 4:22 indicates that his clan forged various implements of copper and iron, although the iron mentioned here was beja (bja), the ancient Egyptian word for meteroric iron (metal from heaven). Beja corresponds to the Sanskrit word bija, meaning semen or seed. Meteoritic iron was used in the fabrication of iron beads in Nubia 6000 years ago. These beads were likely perceived as seeds from heaven which brought divine power to the wearer.
This certainly places Cain in history before the bronze age and long after the first humans tread the verdant hills of Eden. This resolves the problem of dating Adam and Eve and Cain. The first are ahistorical representations of the first humans created by God, made fully human and in the divine image. These would have lived at least 3.4 million years ago. Cain and Seth, on the other hand, can be placed in history between 4000 and 3000 B.C. This corresponds to the Copper Age (3500 -2300 B.C.) During the Copper Age the warriors were of high social rank. Copper mining and the fabrication of copper tools and weapons gave rise to new a social hierarchy. At the top, were the warriors who protected their communities.
So who was Cain's father? Clearly not Adam. If Adam was the first man created by God - and the Bible permits no other explanation - then he cannot have been Cain's father. Cain married a cousin and analysis of the King Lists of Genesis 4 and 5 shows that there was an established pattern of marriage and ascendency among the lines of Cain and Seth. In other words, royal lines, established territories, metal technologies and law codes existed in Cain and Seth's time. These did not exist in Adam and Eve's original small community 3.4 million years ago.
Given the period in which Cain lived, his social rank as a ruler, and his place in the ancestry of Abraham, we must assume that he was a Kushite. His father was likely the brother of Enoch the Elder, Cain's father-in-law. This would explain why Cain's wife named their first-born son after her father, as was the pattern for cousin wives among Abraham's Kushite ancestors.

The Orange Leader
Bridge City's Cardinals and Orangefield's Bobcats have one final game to decide who will represent District 21-3A as the third place team in the playoffs.
The two rivals are both 3-2 in the district standings and this year's Bayou Bowl will not come down to points, it is a winner take all.
This one is hard to size up especially since both teams are both 4-5 overall this year.
Bridge City will at least be at home at Larry B. Ward Stadium but the short drive for the Orangefield Faithful means the visitors' side of the stadium will be packed.
The Cardinals come in averaging 219.9 yards of offense a game while giving up 290.3 yards on defense through the first nine games.
Bridge City's offense will look once again to the powerful legs of Ashton Hunter who has 1,023 yards on 185 carries with five touchdowns. Kruz Dearbonne has 212 yards rushing and two scores.
Daniel Faulk has thrown for 563 yards and nine touchdowns with four interceptions. He has 48 completions in 126 passing attempts.
Bridge City's leading receiver this year is Adrian Schubarth with 12 catches for 137 yards while Colin Smith has 11 receptions for 116 yards. Tanner Cervenka might only have eight catches this year but five were touchdown grabs. He has 156 yards receiving and averages 19.5 yards a catch.
Carl Wiley can add an impressive highlight for the Bobcats' season by going over the 1,000 yard mark as the running back comes into the game with 990 yards and 11 touchdowns.
Quarterback Eric Truncale has 752 yards rushing on 95 carries with seven touchdowns while Tyron Como has 358 yards and averages 6.1 yards a carry.
Orangefield averages 326.1 yard of offense a game while giving up 352.7 yards a contest on defense.

New owners of Jolli Mons Grill — Danny Falcone, a New York Italian, and Winsil Falcone, his Filipino wife — may have very different favorite fare, but one thing they both agree on is fresh, homemade food.
Like Jolli menu items wontons and wild berries, you might question the Falcones as a perfect pairing, but Winsil, with her bright smile and Pacific breeze hinted accent, matches his bravado with her own special charm.
The couple met almost a decade ago while Falcone was on vacation in the Philippines. It was love at first sight, but it would take almost two years to convince U.S. Immigrations that they intended to marry.
Once Winsil Falcone was in the United States, they wed and she began working at Falcone's self-named Oklahoma City chain of Italian delis.
Working was a crash course in American culture. "I had to learn all of the deli meats, and Italian cheeses. The meat is very different than in the Philippines. Plus, I had to learn all the money. I was horrible at making change. I didn't know which coin was which," she says "I started out only working one hour day, not 24 hours a day like we do now," she says laughing.
After six years of marriage and Italian restaurants, the Falcones were ready to integrate their two cultures into a more unique style restaurant. They left Oklahoma City in August and moved to Florida. They bought Jolli Mons Grill, located on the Pinellas Trail, on Nov. 5 and they had their grand opening in the middle of December.
You won't find frozen meat, fish or even a pre-cut French fry in their kitchen. Every order of onion rings is fresh cut, same with the fried mozzarella. Winsil Falcone hand rolls the spring rolls, and she makes every sauce.
While they kept Jolli Mon's laid back atmosphere, ample outdoor seating and nightly music, they changed the menu to reflect their unique blend of cuisines, like bacon-infused gourmet hamburgers and Caribbean Poppers, which are wontons filled with pepper-laced cream cheese and then fried to a golden brown and served with spicy wild berry sauce.
"Besides the menu, the biggest changes we made were adding indoor seating, expanding happy hour, and being open on Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m. for brunch," Danny Falcone says.
You can't meet Danny Falcone and not assume he's from the Bronx: he's got the look, the lingo and he's the type of guy that you want to (but you're afraid to) ask if he was a Soprano's fan. (The menu snitches with the Bada-Bing burger, topped with jalapenos and spicy hot onions.)

Immediate Action Needed
Senate Begins Voting on Funding for Promoting Safe and Stable Families Program & Educational and Training Vouchers for Youth
On July 16, the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education will vote on the FY 2003 appropriations bill that will determine the funding level for all discretionary programs administered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
Support $505 million for the Promoting Safe and Stable Families (PSSF) program.
Support $60 million in first time funding for educational and training vouchers for youth aging out of foster care and youth adopted from foster care at age 16 or older.
(Remind your Senators that President Bush included these increases in his FY 2003 budget request.)
ACTION REQUIRED: Call your U.S. Senators. You can reach DC Senate offices through the Capitol switchboard at 202/224-3121. Members of the Subcommittee (see listing below) need to hear from you before the vote on July 16!
Last year, Congress passed a law (P.L. 107-133) to reauthorize the Promoting Safe and Stable Families program through 2007. The law guarantees that states will receive $305 million in funding each year. The law also permits Congress to approve an additional $200 million each year in discretionary funding, which has to be approved annually through the appropriations process. In FY 2002, Congress only appropriated an additional $70 million, bringing total FY 2002 funding to $375 million.
Additional funding for PSSF will support efforts to prevent child abuse and neglect, support families in crisis, and promote and support adoption for the tens of thousands of children waiting in foster care for permanent families. It will also fund increased child protection activities in state courts and Indian tribes.
In addition to reauthorizing PSSF, the law passed last year also created a new education and training voucher program for youth aging out of foster care and youth adopted from foster care at age 16 or older. Congress must approve funding for this program, up to $60 million each year, through the annual appropriations process. No funding was provided in FY 2002.
$60 million for education and training vouchers for youth aging out of foster care and youth adopted from foster care at age 16 or older will enable many of the 16,000 youth who leave care each year to get help with higher education and preparing for employment.
A summary of the legislation that reauthorized the Promoting Safe and Stable Families program and created the voucher program is available on CWLA's website at www.cwla.org/advocacy/pssfsummary.htm.

The Mankato Free Press
---- — MANKATO — Usually, students taking the annual Minnesota Comprehensive Assessment test perform better on the reading portion than the math.
But the new rigorous state reading standards — adopted to help ensure college- and career-readiness — resulted in big reading score declines in this year's results, released today by the Minnesota Department of Education. The new English Language Arts standards include more complex problems to teach students "how to effectively communicate and to use related knowledge and contexts to synthesize information into meaningful messages," according to MDE.
District-wide, Mankato Area Public Schools scored above the state average at all grade levels in both reading and math. However, nine individual schools had grade levels that scored below the state average in reading.
"We understood that it was possible we would see a dip statewide," said Heather Mueller, director of teaching and learning, who added that teachers and administrators have been working on implementing the new standards into classrooms since last year.
"With this level of rigor, it's going to take time," said Gwen Walz, assessment coordinator.
The MCA test results break down proficiency in math and reading, beginning with grade 3. The test factors greatly into determining a school's Multiple Measurements Rating, which is the assessment criteria under the state's No Child Left Behind waiver.
The ratings — which include points based on proficiency, student growth, closure in achievement gap and graduation rate — will be released in early October. The MCA results influence all categories except for graduation rate.
Among Mankato schools, many schools had grades that scored in the 80th percentage bracket or above in math, and only a couple of schools had grade levels below 60 percent proficient. The opposite was true for reading, with various schools having one or more grade levels averaging below 60 percent proficient. Only two schools had grade levels with more than 80 percent proficiency in reading — Bridges Community School and Eagle Lake Elementary.
Bridges performed the best in the district, with fourth-graders 100 percent proficient in math; and third- and fifth-graders both 90.9 percent proficient in math. The school also performed well in reading, despite the more difficult standards, with third-graders coming in at 95.5 percent proficient and fifth-graders 90.9 percent proficient. (Last year the school's fifth-graders were 100 percent proficient in reading.)
"We just keep focusing on math and reading and especially catching them early," said Bridges Lead Teacher Robin Courrier, who added that the strong reading scores could be attributed to the school's more advanced reading curriculum, which includes more non-fiction than is typical.
Still, she said, "The test is a one-hit wonder. It's the day; it's the timing." Coupled with the more rigorous reading standards, that could explain last year's fifth-graders going from 100 percent proficient in reading to 83.3 percent now that they're in sixth grade.
Walz said district officials don't look at individual school results, but rather focus on accountability for all students.
"Our perspective is from the district perspective," Walz said. "We look at that whole picture. … We continue to be notably above the state average in all grade levels."
The big-picture perspective allows the district to be proactive when it comes to aligning curriculum to new standards, she said. Mueller said teachers and administrators are continuously working together — including during two-hour late starts for Professional Learning Community time each month — to ensure all students are learning.
Among other top performers, Maple River East Elementary School fourth-graders were 100 percent proficient in math, while most other grades tested in Maple River came in below 80 percent proficient in both math and reading. The exceptions were West Elementary fourth-graders, who were 87.5 percent proficient in math; and East third-graders, who were 82.6 percent proficient in math.
Overall regionally, several rural districts had grade levels that struggled in both reading and math. Truman seventh-graders were 14.3 percent proficient in reading and 10th-graders were 30 percent proficient.
Butterfield-Odin eighth-graders were 14.2 percent proficient in math; and fourth-, sixth- and seventh-graders all scored in the 30th percentage bracket or below in math. The district's eighth-graders were 15.4 percent proficient in reading.
Butterfield-Odin Supt. Lisa Shellum and Truman Supt. Thomas Ames couldn't be reached Monday.

A Boston Globe photo gallery of vintage skiing shots included a picture of a man, Richard Hardauas, pulling his son Travis up a hill while they were skiing on Boston Common in 1974, and a quick search of Boston Public Library resources pulled up this entire Flickr gallery of photos of the common from about 1860-1910.
The photos stop there, however, which is where you come in.

Criminal Justice
Woman's pause before agreeing to release conditions keeps her behind bars
Posted Jun 3, 2013 9:44 AM CDT
By Martha Neil
Ivory Jordan was moments from being released from custody on Thursday, after her mother attended a court hearing for the 21-year-old and promised to keep an eye on her daughter.
Circuit Judge James L. Martz told Jordan he was going to give her a "huge break" by releasing her, under adult supervision, with an 8:30 p.m. curfew. But then, when the judge asked Jordan if she agreed to those conditions, there was a pause before she said yes, the Palm Beach Post reports.
Martz asked again for Jordan's agreement, saying that the pause made him worry he was making a mistake, and the young woman again told him yes, in a barely audible voice.
At that point, the judge shook his head and said he wasn't going to release Jordan because of her attitude, the newspaper recounts. Although her mother pleaded for him to reconsider, Palm Beach County sheriff's deputies escorted Jordan back to a holding cell after the judge set a $50,000 bond.
She faces charges including burglary, false imprisonment and simple battery after allegedly forcibly entering a home to attack another woman over a text message.

Istanbul Bogazi (Bosphorus)
A stay in Istanbul is not complete without the traditional and unforgettable boat excursion up the Bosphorus, the winding strait that separates Europe and Asia. Its shores offer a delightful mixture of past and present, grand splendor and simple beauty.
Modern hotels stand next to yali (shorefront wooden villas), marble palaces abut rustic stone fortresses, and elegant compounds neighbor small fishing villages. The best way to see the Bosphorus is to board one of the passenger boats that regularly zigzag along the shores.
Eminönü and stop alternately on the Asian and European sides of the strait. The round-trip excursion, at a very reasonable cost, takes about six hours. If you wish a private voyage, you can contact one of the agencies which specialize in organizing day or night mini-cruises.
During the journey, you pass in front of the magnificent Dolmabahçe Palace; farther along rise the green parks and imperial pavilions of Yildiz Palace. On the edge of this park, on the coast, stands Çiragan Palace ,now restored as a grand hotel.
Refurbished in 1874 by Sultan Abdülaziz, it stretches for 300 meters along the Bosphorus shore, its ornate marble facades reflecting the swiftly moving water. In Ortaköy, the next stop, artists gather every Sunday to exhibit their works in a streetside gallery.
The variety of people create a lively scene; sample a delicious bite from one of the street vendors. In Ortaköy, there is a church, mosque and a synagogue that have existed side by side for hundreds of years - a tribute to Turkish secularism and tolerance.
Overshadowing Istanbul's traditional architecture is the Bosphorus Bridge, one of the world's largest suspension bridges linking Europe and Asia.
The beautiful Beylerbeyi Palace lies just past the bridge on the Asian side. Behind the palace rises Çamlica Hill, the highest point of Istanbul. You can drive here to admire the magnificent panorama of Istanbul as well as the beautiful landscaped gardens.
On the opposite shore, the wooden Ottoman villas of Arnavutköy contrast with the luxurious modern apartments of neighboring Bebek. A few kilometers farther out, facing each other across the straits like sentries guarding the city, stand the fortresses of Rumeli Hisari and Anadolu Hisari.
The Göksu Palace, sometimes known as Küçüksu Palace graces the Asian shore, next to Anadolu Hisari. The second link between the two continents; the Fatih Sultan Mehmet Bridge straddles the waterway just past the two fortresses.
From Duatepe Hill, on the European side, you can admire the magnificent panorama of the bridge and the Bosphorus. Below Duatepe, beautiful Emirgan Park bursts with color when the tulips bloom in spring.
Opposite, on the Asian shore is Kanlica, a fishing village now a favored suburb for wealthy Istanbulites. Crowds gather in the restaurants and cafes along its shores to sample its famous yogurt. Shortly after Kanlica and Çubuklu is the Beykoz Korusu (Abraham Pasa Woods), a popular retreat. In the cafes and restaurants you can enjoy the delightful views and clear fresh air.
On the European side, at Tarabya Bay, yachts seem to dance at their moorings. The coast road bustles with taverns and fish restaurants from Tarabya to the charming suburbs of Sariyer and Büyükdere. Sariyer has one of the largest fish markets in Istanbul and is also famous for its delicious varieties of milk puddings and börek (pastries). A little further on past Sariyer, the narrow strait widens and disappears into the Black Sea.

I'm not exactly a penny pincher, but I'm definitely not a free spender either (I write for the GoBlog...think about it, money is not exactly growing on a magical tree in my living room). I do however, dream about being rich someday, like any good American. And I think about all the gear I'd buy with my riches, again, like any good outdoor, sports loving American. New ski setup - check, new lightweight backpacking pack - check, stand up paddle board, kayak, tents, cameras, clothes - check all. What I would not ever buy, even if I were Warren Buffet rich, is a pair of $1100 ear buds for my 2nd generation iPod. Thanks, but I could buy 220 pairs of the $5 ones I just got at T.J. Maxx last week.
Seriously, who are these being marketed to? Most people I see using ear buds are well under 45 years old. If they have enough money to buy $1100 ear buds than I'm pretty sure whatever they're doing for work is probably not good for you, me, their kids, or anyone's grandkids. Unless of course they're a doctor or something. But then shouldn't they be charging less to keep people from so dieing or staying violently ill.
Learn more about the ridiculous AKG's K3003, stainless steel, 3-way, premium ear buds at GizMag.
Just when you thought in-line skating was officially dead, some wacky inventor comes up with a brilliant idea to revive the sport - or do they? Introducing the FlyRad - billed as a motorized unicycle (in that it has one wheel) - the FlyRad is the type of contraption I love to come across whilest searching the interwebs for random toys to tell you all about.
Because there is no way to self-balance on the FlyRad, you've got to wear in-line skates and either sit on it, stand on it, or let it pull you along, making it that much cooler. You can even ride no handed. Woo-hooo. It's not light, and not cheap, weighing 53 pounds and costing...well no costs are available yet, because it's not available yet, but I'm sure it won't be cheap...my guess $1800.
For the serious zoomer, the adult version (there's a teen and kids version too) of the FlyRad hits about 25 mph and runs for about 31 miles on a battery charge, after which, you'll be in-line skating with a rolling, 53 pound anchor to haul behind you. Invented by a German (ok it's starting to make some more sense now), Thomas Rank, the product has been around for several years but is finally (almost) ready for actual sale. Or at least that's the rumor floating around the motorized unicycle forums I spend a lot of my workday trolling for hot unicycle ladies.
I don't know about you, but I'm totally gonna get one, totally. I just have to remember to bring along shoes, 'cause once I get where I'm going, I'll still be wearing my 'blades.

Editor's Note: Sweet jesus, does nobody fact check anymore? Including us? Lets be a little more clear Stephen and GoBlog, that Cliff family has been making wine for years. In fact, we first posted about way back in 2007. Only thing that has changed is they're putting it in an wine pouch, something you could have done with any wine and a PlatyPreserve years ago. Com'on boys, step it up a bit.

Ultra Nate: I loved a wide range of artists as a kid. Everyone from Marvin Gaye to Boy George. Anyone with a soulful vibe, it didn't really matter what the genre or style. I was pretty much a sponge when it came to music.
RS: How, if at all, have they influenced your career?
Ultra: I think it's definately made me more open to be experimental with style and production.
RS: Did you desire to be a top 40 mainstream crossover artist?
Ultra: Absolutely! But on my own terms of course.
RS: The reason I asked is recalling the hit "Desire" from 2000, it gives a feeling of wanting more. Is there more of a personal meaning to that song?
Ultra: It's actually speaking of wanting the greatest love of all. And not being afraid to shout it out loud. Many people think it's hot to say 'f*** the world! I don't need anyone or anything.' But that's not my reality. I'm very clear, I need a mighty love!
RS: How much ability and freedom do you have to write your own songs, and could this be the reason the messages are bounced all over?
Ultra: I've always had the freedom to write what I want. Sometimes it may be focused to something specific like a TV show, a movie or an album concept. But it's all my personal take coupled with the producer. I'm not sure what you mean by "bounced all over" but if you mean that subjects vary greatly, I see that as a good thing. Things don't become "cookiecutter" that way. That predictability happens to much in the dance genre as it is.
RS: Which producer have you enjoyed working with the most?
Ultra: Most people I've worked with have been very cool and there's something to take away from every experience. I've had more concentrated periods with Basement Boys early in my career and Mood II Swing later. So those 2 teams are definite standouts for the considerable amount of growth during those years.
RS: When you wrote "Free," did you have any idea it would become as big as it did?
Ultra: No. I don't think you every really know. I was completely on the floor when it started to blow.
RS: What's the story on your song "Ain't Lookin' for Nothin'"?
Ultra: It's actually pretty autobiographical. I met a guy who was really diggin' me but he was freaked by my career/star thing. He was a state trooper (a very meat and potatoes, everything is black-or-white type of person). I think he really didn't know how to be with me and "Ain't Lookin" was just saying RELAX!!!! this ain't rocket science dude. We're either gonna work and figure it out as we go or we're not and we'll still be cool.
RS: "Grime Silk Thunder," sounds like a dark title, what should we look forward to with regards to the songs?
Ultra: Yea, so was "Situation Critical". I'm a very melancholic writer and singer so it reflects that vibe. The music is more experimental in an edgey and electronic direction while maintaining the warmth and depth of my vocal and writing stylings.
RS: How does your personal spirituality guide your musical artistry?
Ultra: It's a constant influence, whether subtle or overt. Not that I'm all holy roller but my just my basic make-up.
RS: You're well known in the gay community. Any reasons why you think that is, and, does it affect you at all when recording something new?
Ultra: I' ve been fortunate to be embraced early in my career by the gay community. They've been very educational and supportive. I don't really consider the gay community specifically when writing because their tastes are as varied as anyone elses.

I'm a staff writer for Fast Company's FastCoLabs, where I write about the data-infused future of music, mass media and the people building it all.
Since I took the death-defying plunge into being a full-time writer, my work has also appeared on VICE's The Creators Project, Esquire, Billboard, ReadWrite, The New York Times, Philadelphia Weekly, Plan Philly and WHYY's Newsworks. I also teach a digital design course in the Journalism department at Temple University.
Prior to becoming a full-time writer, I managed digital publishing for a weekly newspaper company where I oversaw Web development, digital product management, online editorial strategy and much, much else.
Some of my recent work can be found on the Published Writing page.
When I'm not writing, I play drums in a psychedelic rock band based in Philly. I really like taking photographs, exploring cities (mine and others) and thinking about the future.

ASA member Sam Friedman has become the first sociologist to win the prestigious Avant-Garde Award for HIV/AIDS Research. This award is sponsored by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), part of the National Institutes of Health and it " is intended to stimulate high-impact research that may lead to groundbreaking opportunities for the prevention and treatment of HIV/AIDS in drug abusers." Dr. Friedman will receive $500,000 per year for five years to support their research.
Here is a description of has research from NIDA.
Project: Preventing HIV transmission by recently-infected drug users
Dr. Friedman's research team plans to identify people newly infected with HIV and link them to care, since the first few months of infection represent a period of high infectivity and risk behavior. Novel interventions that include community alerts and education within affected drug using and other social networks and venues, and efforts to prevent stigmatization of the newly-infected, will be developed and tested to prevent further spread within the community.
"Unlike many other HIV prevention and treatment methods, this technique will follow the virus to where it is likely to be transmitted," said Friedman. "We will start with drug users, but the network and community aspects of the project mean that we will also prevent transmissions among other high-risk persons if the infection chains lead us to them."
Two other scientists also received this award in 2012; Drs. David Smith and Jeremy Luban.

Star Beacon
The tradition of blessing area mariners began more than 60 years ago in the Ashtabula Harbor.
Our Lady of Peace Parish continues to observe that tradition by inviting the public to attend the 64th Annual Blessing of the Fleet at 6:30 tonight at the Ashtabula Harbor Public Dock.
The Blessing of the Fleet is a short prayer service asking for God's blessings and protection upon all who will venture out on the sea during this boating season. There will be prayers for the crew of the watercraft and blessings on the boats in the harbor.
There will be a casting of the wreath on the water for all those who have perished at sea.
The U.S. Coast Guard will participate in the ceremony.
The Blessing of the Fleet is a long-standing tradition in the Ashtabula Harbor. The prayer service began in the 1930s when a priest at the Mother of Sorrows Church decided to send sailors and shipmasters off for a season of shipping on the Great Lakes with the faith of a safe return. The ceremony also officially opens the boating season on the dock.
In the past, the service has been well-attend, with crowds gathering on the dock to watch the ceremony which included music.
For more information, call Betsy Franklin at 440-964-7600.

On the way to work this morning, I heard a radio story about Wrapp, a trojan horse app designed to harvest your personal information and sell it to…well, who knows. Let's assume anybody who will pay for it.
On the surface, app users will use Wrapp to gift their friends with some scant incentive, like a $5 gift card to a large retailer*. Free!** Fun! Social gifting — it's like Facebook for coupons! It's like reverse-Groupon, only generous!
From Wrapp's 7,750-word terms of service:
[...] you expressly authorize Wrapp to receive certain of your information that is available on or through your Social Network account, including, without limitation, your profile information, friends or follower names, your photos, privacy settings [...]
Think about what you have made available "on or through" your Facebook account. Will you sell me everything you've shared, and a list of your friends, and their demographics and what they're into? How much? Also, think of the last time you intentionally entered into a contract where something could be taken from you "without limitation."
Granted, you weren't meant to see this verbiage. It's seven paragraphs deep in TOS that is intentionally too long to be read on a mobile device. And nobody reads these things anyway***.
Essentially, Wrapp lets you sell access to who you are online. And who your friends are. Who's buying? Who knows. Easy end-arounds like these defeats pretty much any online privacy protection yet devised. Consumers can be incentivized to opt-in to programs that mine, track, and exploit. The price tag: a five-dollar coupon.
Closing with a quote from where we started:
In most of these transactions, the exchange is not a case where I literally offer you $2 for this specific type of data and I give you a very specific contract about how I'll use the data. It's more like I offer you some free good, meanwhile, you as the consumer are not sure how this data will be used, and most importantly with what consequences.
* who already are doing some kind of unbelievable stuff with behavioral marketing and consumer profiling
** as John Moe quotes: "if you're not paying anything, you're not the customer, you're the product"
*** apparently even their lawyer's proofreader gave up after 900 words; "certain of your information" at the start of this quote is [SIC]. Omg loophole! Phew, we're all safe

Sovereign Bank in Boston and the First Tennessee unit of Memphis-based First Horizon National have joined more than 20 rival institutions in making it easier for customers to understand the terms and fees on their checking accounts. Both banks were near the bottom of Pew Charitable Trusts' ratings last week of account disclosures; but both have now adopted Pew's model, plain-language disclosure practices. In addition to First Tennessee and Sovereign, Pew also singled out Cascade Community Federal Credit Union in Oregon for complying with its disclosure guidelines. Providence, R.I.-based RBS Citizens Financial Group, meanwhile, introduced simplified account disclosures that closely follow Pew's model.

- Finely grate potatoes with onion into a large bowl. Drain off any excess liquid.
- Mix in egg, salt, and black pepper. Add enough flour to make mixture thick, about 2 to 4 tablespoons all together.
- Turn oven to low, about 200 degrees F (95 degrees C).
- Heat 1/4 inch oil in the bottom of a heavy skillet over medium high heat. Drop two or three 1/4 cup mounds into hot oil, and flatten to make 1/2 inch thick pancakes. Fry, turning once, until golden brown. Transfer to paper towel lined plates to drain, and keep warm in low oven until serving time. Repeat until all potato mixture is used.

Oh so good! A true German potato pancake is "grated" as the recipe states, not shredded. Shredding produces something that's more like a hash brown. Make sure to not only drain the liquid, but to actually squeeze out the water in a kitchen towel. Time consuming, yes, but well worth the effort.
I loved this recipe due to it's simplicity and nutritional value. Cooking spray worked well rather than oil to fry. I added herbs and used my food processor.
My boyfriend and I both enjoyed these. I will definitely make them again. We didn't use the onion since he doesn't like them. But to keep the pancakes from tasting bland, we used some dry minced onion and put a lot of salt and pepper and fajita seasoning along with parsley to add a little color. I had to add an extra couple of tablespoons of flour to thicken it up a little.

Georgia Bulldogs at Florida Gators: Preview and Pick
7 Replies | 475 ViewsOn 10/27/2013 07:50 AM in NCAA Football
The SEC is one of the best conferences in all of college football and they have plenty of great traditions that they bring to the gridiron every year. One of those traditions happens when the Georgia Bulldogs and the Florida Gators face off every year. Although the name of the largest outdoor cocktail party has been snubbed by many, it still means that there is one great game on tap for Saturday.
Georgia Bulldogs at Florida Gators Odds
The college football odds for this game will reflect just how evenly matched that these two teams are. They both have identical records in the regular season as well as the SEC East and both are chasing the South Carolina Gamecocks and the Missouri Tigers in the standings. With two popular fan bases and one of the most anticipated games on the week 10 schedule, this game should see plenty of betting action.
If Florida has any chance of winning they need to make some changes. The Gators have continued to regress on offense, as they rank No. 106 in total offense (336.9 yards per game). This comes following consecutive seasons finishing in the bottom 20 nationally in total offense.
With no identity and few playmakers, it has been agonizing for Florida to even gain first downs in recent weeks. UF's floundering offensive line has allowed 10 sacks in the past the two games, and its rushing attack has averaged a conference-worst 3.70 yards per carry. That could be good news for Georgia.
The college football betting trends for this game reveal some good and bad trends for each team heading into this game. Florida is 5-2 straight up in its last 7 games when playing on the road against Georgia and the Gators are 2-4 against the spread (ATS) in its last 6 games on the road. Overall Florida is 11-4 straight up in its last 15 games when playing Georgia and many of those games have been highs coring as the total has gone over in 4 of Florida's last 6 games when playing Georgia. The Bulldogs are also use to having high scoring games at home where the total has gone over in 5 of Georgia's last 5 games at home and they have an impressive 12-2 straight up record in its last 14 games at home. Finally, the Gators are 3-10 ATS in its last 13 games and Georgia is 0-4-1 ATS in its last 5 games.
Georgia Bulldogs at Florida Gators Pick
With plenty of time before kickoff we will wait for more information to come in before we select a side on this contest. Make sure to check back on the day of the game to see who we select as our winner for this big game.
