Students in our area are doing better in school and now more are staying out of trouble. That's according to the Stepping Stones report that was released by the Charlottesville-Albemarle Commission on Children and Families.
The report identifies trends among families in over 60 areas and then works to fix them. Some highlights this year include higher SOL scores among all ages, and less teenage crime.
"We think it's very important to pinpoint important trends related to children and families in our community and get the information out to the public so that we can all work together to try to improve the quality of life for our children," Gretchen Ellis, Planner of the Charlottesville-Albemarle Commission on Children and Families.
The report also found a significant increase in the number of students who speak English as a second language.

About that bullpenBy
Much has been written about the Rafael Soriano signing and for most part it's been for all the wrong reasons. The contract itself has been criticized, the way ownership drove the deal has been criticized, Brian Cashman's comments at yesterday's press conference have been criticized, you name it and it's been criticized. Let's move away from the criticism for a second and look at something that hasn't gotten much attention since Soriano agreed to come on board: the Yankees have a fantastic bullpen right now.
Barring trade or injury, the Yanks will open the season with Mariano Rivera filling his customary closer's role and Soriano serving as his primary setup man. That pushes both David Robertson and Joba Chamberlain into middle relief roles, essentially filling the gaps between the starter and Soriano. Boone Logan and Pedro Feliciano will take care of the tough left-handed batters. The seventh man in the pen figures to be a low-leverage long reliever, ideally Sergio Mitre. We know what Mo brings the table and there's not much to say about him that hasn't been said over the last 15 years. He gives the Yankees a clear advantage over every other team in the league, so let's focus on those middle innings instead. That's where a ton of games are won and lost anyway.
The table to the right has the strikeout rate of the team's three right-handed middle innings guys over the last three years, as well as their rank out of the 171 qualified relievers (min. 100 IP). Robertson trails only Carlos Marmol (12.99 K/9), Billy Wagner (12.41), and Jonathan Broxton (11.94) in strikeout rate, and those three are all closers. If we remove the now retired Wagner, just five teams will go into the 2011 season with more than one of the top 25 strikeout relievers (Yanks, Red Sox, Dodgers, Cubs, Padres), but the Yankees are the only club with three. You'd have to stretch the list to the top 33 if you want to find another club with three top right-handed strikeouts guys, and that's the Padres.
If we look at just overall reliever FIP with the same 100 IP minimum, the Yankees own two of the top ten over the last three years. Joba (2.71) is ninth and Soriano (2.78) is tenth, but remember, we're not counting Rivera here, and his 2.56 FIP is sixth best over the last three seasons. The Padres are the only other team with two of the top ten FIP's when you remove the closer position. Robertson isn't exactly an FIP fiend because he does walk quite a few, but his 3.40 mark since 2008 is 39th best in the game. Among the top 40, the only clubs with at least four relievers on the list are the Yanks, Padres, and Rangers, and two of Texas' guys are lefty specialists. The Yanks and San Diego are the only clubs with four right-handed relievers in the top 40 FIP over the last three seasons. Clearly, those two clubs are heading into the season with some dynamite righty relief.
Shifting over to the lefties, well, we can't do much with Logan. His record of big league success is basically the second half of 2010, about 12% of his career innings. He's just as likely to tank in 2011 as he is repeat that second half performance, and that uncertainty is why the Yankees went out and got Pedro Feliciano. Over the last three seasons, only three lefty relievers can top Feliciano's 2.80 FIP against left-handed batters (Hong-Chih Kuo, Matt Thornton, Randy Choate (grrr)) and only eight can top his 9.61 K/9. One of those eight is Logan at 10.34.
There are obviously quite a few benefits to having so many relievers of this caliber, and an important one is rest. Not that Joe Girardi has had a trouble spreading the workload around in the past, but now he can back off guys and not sacrifice much, if any quality. This will come in handy particularly with the 41-year-old Rivera, who can forget about working back-to-back-to-back days or multiple innings until the playoffs. That was a big part of Joe Torre's problem, he'd wear his top relievers down during the summer and they were toast come playoff time.
In the past, before Cashman altered his bullpen building strategy, we watched as the Yankees chased that elusive bridge to Rivera, often focusing on one quality setup man while the middle relief suffered. That should not be any problem this year, as Girardi will be able to employ what amounts to two above-average, high strikeout setup men in the middle innings while mixing in one of the game's top lefty specialists as needed. Once those innings are taken care of, it's hammer time with Soriano and Mo. Of course this is all on paper, we know who quickly a bullpen situation can change, but right now the Yankees are remarkably deep in quality relief arms.

You are not supposed to tell people that the Yankees have a great bullpen! Boston is supposed to have the best bullpen in Major League Baseball! Shame on you Mike..
The MSM is too interested in Theo's "masterstroke" to worry about bullpens!
The Red Sox have gotten plenty of MSM crap for operating just the like the Yanks for years now. Bill Simmons himself, Mr. MSM Red Sox fan, has called out the Sox for this over and over again. The Yankees clearly have the largest target on their back due to their success, but the Sox get it too.
Just a small critique, Bill Simmons is about the only person I have heard in the MSM call out the Sox for spending like the Yanks. Maybe that is just me though.
Well, he is just about the only guy I read in the MSM when it comes to baseball, which he rarely writes about anymore. So you may be right, I would not know.
I think the rest thing is the biggest advantage out of all of this, besides the obvious high level of talent. Girardi has always been excellent at getting the majority of his relievers regular work and rest, and this year could prove to be fantastic in that regard.
The Yanks have also seemingly been more careful with Mo as time has gone on, and for good reason. So more depth can only help there too.
Much needed article. Well done. I think we are all itching for actual baseball to begin so we can do what we really love to do, root for the guys in the Yankee uniform no matter their salary, personal lives, role, etc … All this fan GMing is no good for the health.
The bullpen will be great, and can even sustain an injury or two and still be top of the line. Regardless of how much they are getting paid, and regardless of if their value is being diminished there.
Well said.
Hear Hear
We probably have the best closer and the best set-up man in baseball. Although "ideally" I'd like to see Alfredo Aceves get healthy re-sign and be the long man, not Mitre.
Aceves is greatly missed. I would love to see him back and return to form
In the playoffs this bullpen advantage will really come into play. As long as the Yankees get there, they are going to be tough with shortened rotation and a lights out pen.
I think the point you're missing is that the playoff bullpen last year was just as deep as this one, and it didn't require a long-term, big money commitment to an inherently volatile kind of player. There's just not that much advantage to be got by having Soriano for the first three months of the year.
The playoff bullpen wasn't as deep last year. It had no Soriano and Logan was the only LHP. Huge difference from last year's bullpen to this years.
it had Wood instead of Soriano who, if you'll remember, was incredibly dominant after coming to the yanks. I also think that you're over-selling the delta between Logan's performance in 2010 and Feliciano's expected performance. it's absolutely true that it may not be a good bet to think Logan will repeat, but he was very effective down the stretch last season.
The point is that a damn fine bullpen can be built on the go. Doing what they've done this year just increases the likelihood that they'll have more dead money in the pen as someone sucks or gets hurt (like Marte) and you can't just cut him loose. That dead roster spot ties your hands in other ways, if ownership is less willing to take on salary mid-season, that ties your hands…
The point is that Soriano will pitch in probably 15 high-leverage spots before July (when the trade market will pick up). How much better will he be than Robertson over those 15 innings?
The point is not that Pedro is going to outperform Logan, but having two lefty specialists in the pen is better than only having one.
No one could have predicted Wood's success with the Yankees. After being a (highly paid) mediocre reliever for a season and a half in Cleveland he was suddenly the most dominant reliever in baseball. If the Yankees traded for Kerry Wood 100 times, it would only play out that well maybe once. No one believed his success was anything near sustainable, or he'd have gotten more money as a free agent.
Soriano, on the other hand, is 31 this season and has been good mostly his whole career when healthy. His probability of success are a lot higher than Kerry Wood's last season or anyone being given away like Kerry Wood was last season. If you want to trade for someone whose been pitching as well as Wood finished, you're going to pay through the nose.
See the reported Montero AND Banuelos asking price for Soria if you think proven top relievers are available on the cheap…
think were talking apples and oranges here…
Last year, we needed SP come the stretch (with AJ & Javy pitching poor, Hughes limits & Andy being injured) but going into the season they looked stacked at SP. Wood was unreal, pitching so-so with the Tribe but got lucky with the .69 ERA. You cannot expect a Wood to showup every year.
This year, they don't look good (with AJ's 2010, AP likely gone, no 2009-Javy looking #4 starter, etc) going into the season, but Hughes did real well for the "5th" SP. They are likely to be quite a few closer games due to the SP projections and Soriano could equate to 3-4 added wins if you have a Joba & Drob option in the 6-7th innings versus Chad or CHoP.
If money is not an object, this is a great move. Cashman in not agreeing with the deal might of said something like "…come June, don't whine and talk budget as I'm picking up a huge contract like Johan's"
"Cashman in not agreeing with the deal might of said something like "…come June, don't whine and talk budget as I'm picking up a huge contract like Johan's""
Obviously total speculation, but I agree. It would be really irrational for ownership to be willing to spend $12 mill per because they're uncomfortable with Joba as the #2 reliever without recognizing that the starting pitching is very questionable and might require a substantial investment sooner than later. I mean who are you more uncomfortable with? Joba/Robertson or Hughes/Burnett/Nova/Mitre? I can't imagine ownership would honestly answer the former.
If the Yanks had a dominant set up man from the get go, maybe they win the division and have homefield advantage in the playoffs.
Assuming their rotation can get them leads to protect.
You don't have to win by defending an early lead… You can also come from behind later in the game.
Tell that Girardi when Mo was sitting on the bench all game waiting for a save opportunity that never came in the ALCS. Now with the added bullpen depth, we have sick relievers no matter who Joe goes to.
Who cares about the leads everyone says the BP is great with D-Rob and the other one moving from the 7th/8th to the 6th/7th.
The guy I am really rooting for to make the team as the long man in the pen is Mark Prior. WOuld be a great comeback story.
prior for 5th starter bahahahahaha. sorry, couldnt keep a straight face for that one. buti agree, it would be a heartwarming story and i hope it happens. i ust doubt it will
I saaid long man in the pen, not starter dopey!. Try reading next time before you make a fool of yourself
uhm, what?
1) i didnt make a fool of myself.
2) I said starter, which is just as unrealistic of an expectation as him being a long man in the pen.
what is with people around here lately
"what is with people around here lately"
That time of the mon…. nah too inappropriate
Not as great as Jeter batting .350 & playing some serious D.
Cool point bro.
It's not like this post is about the bullpen.
Didn't mean to be random, radnom.
Just pointing out that a Prior comeback as a middle arm would not add as much value as a regular position player would.
Great analysis!
Imagine if Aceves/Marte were healthy. Obviously, they wouldn't have gone after Feliciano if Marte could be counted on. However, there is a chance Marte is ready for the playoffs, and I have no idea what is going on with Aceves. I'm sure we'd like to resign him to a minor league deal. Backs can be very tricky so he can't be counted on. But just imagine….
And imagine if Pettitte were back, and Wang had never torn his arm off.
marte should come nowhere near this team unless logan or feliciano suck or are injured. The guy barely played in the past 2 years. who knows what you'll get out of him.
i just dont get how everyone hates pavano so much but cant wait for marte to come back. dude is the new pavano. buncha reverse racists
Marte added some value in the 2009 postseason, Pavano didn't add anything beyond headache medicine sales across Yankee U.
I don't totally get the Pavano bashing about the ribs deal though as every player keeps them to himself (Randy Johnson and his back, Jeter and his everything, etc.). If they perform and it comes out later that he was injured, he is a gamer. You can't say he was soft AND complain he's hiding stuff.
Now, cutting off a trash truck while wrecking your Porsche on your way home from rehab is pretty stupid. Firing your agent over a 39.5M$ contract versus the 40M$ deal he said you had on the phone is being an ass. Mix those things along with the comments from the team (Moose, Giambi, etc) and I'm glad we passed on him (or him on Cashman).
It can't hurt to have Marte come back. They're paying him to play baseball, not sit at home.
Anything he could contribute would be a positive, and if nothing else he could give them depth should one of their LOOGYs falter due to injury or ineffectiveness.
Two words about Marte. Ryan Howard. For that alone he was worth the money.

Way out "mutual win" or "win-win solution" to put forward a plan in the face of the polemic surrounding the Lady Gaga [Unlink] concert in Jakarta. Tolerance and wisdom, these days are necessary and should be held, especially by elites in this country, so that the Indonesiaan is maintained and preserved.This was conveyed by Vice-Chairman of the United Development Party who is also Vice Chairman of the People's Consultative Assembly Lukman Hakim Saifuddin, Monday (05/21/2012) in Jakarta.
Lady Gaga in concert ban on Indonesia for no apparent reason and not with the consistency could lead to new problems.
"Do not judge the outside world we have double standards. For performances in public spaces that are far more vulgar than Lady Gaga, every day comes in the midst of our society in the absence of strong rejection reactions," said Lukman Hakim.
At the same time, when a concert in Indonesia, said Lukman Hakim, Lady Gaga may be asked to dress, sing, and the attractions of the stage in accordance with Indonesian culture. Thus, there is nothing to worry about the performance of Lady Gaga.
"The world may also assess, how Indonesia as the country with the largest Muslim population in the world to solve problems of Lady Gaga with the wise," said Lukman Hakim.

Design Patterns described several ways to use patterns. Some people plan for patterns long before they write any code, while other people add a pattern after a lot of code has been written. The second way of using patterns is refactoring, because you are changing the design of the system without adding features or changing the external behavior. Some people put a pattern into a program because they think the pattern will make the program easier to change, but other people do it as a way to simplify the current design. If code has been written, then both of these are refactorings, because the first is refactoring to make a change easier, while the second is refactoring to clean up after a change.
Although a pattern is something you can see in a program, a pattern is also a program transformation. Each pattern can be explained by showing a program before the pattern was used and then afterwards. This is another way that patterns can be thought of as refactorings.
Unfortunately, many readers missed the connection between design patterns and refactoring. They thought of patterns as entirely related to design, not to code. I suppose that the name might have misled them, but the fact that the book was mostly C++ code should have indicated that patterns are about code as well as design, and adding a pattern usually requires changing code.
Joshua Kerievsky got the connection right away. I met him soon after he started the Design Patterns Study Group of New York City. He introduced the idea of a "before and after" study of a pattern, an example that shows the effect of a pattern on a system. Before he left town, his infectious enthusiasm had led to a group of over sixty people meeting several times a month. He started teaching patterns courses to companies and has taught them on-site, at his own location, and on the Internet. He has even taught other people how to teach them.
Joshua has gone on to become an XP practitioner and teacher as well. So, it is perfectly fitting that he has written a book that shows the connection between design patterns and refactoring, one of the core XP practices. Refactoring is not orthogonal to patterns—it is intimately related. Not all of the patterns that he talks about are from Design Patterns, but they all are in the style of Design Patterns. Joshua's book shows how patterns can help you design without causing you to create an up-front design.
If you practice what this book teaches, you will improve both your ability to create good designs and your ability to think about them.

For the last 20 years Stephen Foster Folk Culture Center State Park has been showcasing their Festival of Lights, an event that draws thousands of visitors throughout the month of December to marvel at all the amazing Christmas light displays throughout the park.
To kick off the event each year, the park invites the sponsors to come out the evening before to get a sneak peek at the lights and to enjoy fun and fellowship, as well as partake of a wide assortment of delicious hors d'oeuvres. The theme for the sponsor's reception was teddy bears and they were everywhere, big ones, small ones, and even edible ones.
Park Manager Michelle Waterman began the evening by thanking all the sponsors who made the event and the evening's meal possible, including the White Springs Citizen's Support Organization. Waterman also thanked the park staff for their hard work in setting up all the lights and the District 2 park staff for their support.
"Our staff began working on the festival in July and we've been working on the Festival of Lights ever since," said Waterman. "Our sponsors and partners help to make this event what it is. The Citizen's Support Organization is an asset to our park and they're dedicated to preserving the folk life here in North Florida. The town of White Springs, the Hamilton County Tourist Development Council, and our local government agencies and land managers are great supporters of the park and work very closely to ensure that the visitors to White Springs want to come back again," she added.
Waterman said because of the contributions they receive from all the sponsors, the park is able to keep the event at a low cost to visitors.
"Three dollars a person to come into a park and enjoy four hours of entertainment, and get free marshmallows, popcorn and hot cocoa," Waterman began. "Where can you go for that?"
Once everyone finished eating, Waterman donned her animated, lighted Santa hat and, lo and behold, a special guest arrived by the name of Santa Claus, who brought Mrs. Claus along with him to greet the crowd and wish them a Merry Christmas.
With the back doors to the museum now open, everyone filed outside to begin exploring all the wonders of the lighted park, including the excitement of the Lake City Train Club, who already had their tracks and trains set up in the auditorium.

Anyone who works at a reference desk can tell you stories about the different types of questions people ask. Some are routine, some are a puzzle and others peak your interest, making you want to know more about the subject
I recently was asked a want-to-know-more question. The request was for information about a storm that came through Oklahoma and Missouri in November, 1911. The storm hit on Nov. 11 and spread across much of the middle of the country.
According to the Joplin Globe and Joplin News Herald (the library has the newspaper on microfilm back to March 1877), the day was warm with a "soft and balmy southern breeze."
Things changed drastically when the temperature dropped 50 degrees in 25 minutes. The drop from a "balmy" 82 degrees at 2 p.m. to 19 degrees by 7 p.m. was accompanied by high winds, rain, hail and a blizzard.
I wondered what forces came together to produce such a drastic change and turned to Dennis DiClaudio to find some answers.
DiClaudio has written a book called "Man vs. Weather: Be Your Own Weatherman." Easy to read and full of information, this book helped me understand how a November day can go from warm and balmy to a blizzard in just a few hours.
DiClaudio is an improvisational comedian as well as a writer, and it shows in his writing style. This look at weather is given in a breezy (no pun intended), conversational style that sometimes turns into a monologue.
He starts our introduction into weather much the same way that day went in 1911. The reader is safely enjoying this little book when a lightning bolt crashes through the roof, striking the floor in front of the recliner. The deluge of rain coming through the hole in the roof puts out the fire but then comes the wind, hail, and a tornado.
The glacier that follows is pretty improbable but you get the point — weather is out there and we need to understand it.
Our understanding starts with the journey a single water molecule. The water molecule has decided the ocean is a boring place to be. With the help of the sun's radiation, the molecule breaks free to begin its journey to the sky.
Aided by the wind, the molecule reaches its destination only to eventually grow weary of being pushed around by the winds. It bands with other discontented molecules to form clouds and, with the right circumstances, is able to escape back to earth as a raindrop.
The fallen raindrop helps form a puddle that overflows into a creek. The molecule moves through the creek into a stream. The stream flows into a river that takes the molecule into the ocean, which it finds a boring place to be.
The journey this molecule takes is explained with chapters on the atmosphere and winds. You not only get explanations of the troposphere (bottommost level of the atmosphere) and Karman line (unofficially official dividing line between Earth and outer space), but unique explanations on the wind and how it moves around the globe.
Next are the air masses and explanations of fronts; warm, cold, stationary, and occluded. You now have enough information to understand the "economics of a storm cloud." Thunderstorms, thunder and lightening, tornadoes and hurricanes are all explained, as well as ice, snow, hail and the Santa Ana winds.
The last part of the book is on how to read the signs to predict the weather. You'll learn the cloud types with illustrations so you will recognize them in the sky. Also temperature, wind, barometric pressure, and humidity and the instruments used to measure them are explained so you can setup your own weather station.
If you want to understand how a day can go from 82 degrees to a blizzard or just what that cumulonimbus cloud may bring, check out this book from the Joplin Public Library and find out.
Patty Crane is the reference librarian at Joplin Public Library.

Close families often subscribe to the adage that "if you rub my back, I'll rub yours." But some people can benefit from a massage more than others. It turns out, burn victims like the kids who attend "Camp Amigo" every year are getting some special treatment that makes their lives a lot better. Its as specialized as a medical diagnosis and as simple as a backrub. In the Family Spotlight, Nancy Keeney Smith, a Licensed Massage Therapist explains to TV 20's David Snyder how she first understood the benefits of a massage for burn victims.

Want to see my favorite spot in the house?
Come check it out:
Now it would be really difficult to appreciate this master closet makeover without seeing how it started out.
Take a look:
Had enough? Me too! Gross, huh? My husband and I both shared this closet and there was a lot of wasted space. That's when I dug out my graph paper and pencil and got to work measuring, creating the perfect space.
This closet is pretty dinky for a master closet in a house that was built in the 80′s. It was crucial that I lay it out just right to maximize it's potential.
I added a lot of shelves to help divide the space as well as create a place to store socks, undergarments, etc. I love that I can get completely dressed from my closet without having to dig through my dresser.
I'll admit I do not own a ton of beautiful shoes. I am a nurse currently staying home with two boys. There aren't a whole lot of places I go that require beautiful shoes but I still need shoe storage for my not-so-beautiful shoes, right?
Baskets to hold my belts…
This hook that holds my scarves is actually part of a leftover towel rack from the master bath redo. The hole that normally holds the towel bar is on the other side.
This wall paper was also left over from the master bath renovation. I pieced it together to cover the back wall.
We put bead board on the ceiling. This is the click-in type but honestly I think we could have gotten away with a sheet of bead board paneling here.
Lot's of bins to hold things make the closet appear neat and organized.
This shelf was made tall enough to accommodate tall boots.
More bins along the top to maximize storage while keeping it neat.
Side-by-side before and afters:
Ah…so lovely and organized!
I was originally planning to install french doors but it looks so pretty, I decided to leave it open!
This ended up being the perfect home for my new ($5) table!
(You can check out the before and how to here.) It's perfect for sitting on to put on socks and shoes!

"Unlucky Items" were once offered at LuckyVitamin but their luck has worn out. Usually due to popularity, manufacturer decision, product changes or supply issues we no longer carry the following items by this brand. Select an item to view more information and suggested comparable alternatives.
It all started in the small bakery of a natural foods market on Main Street in Glastonbury, Connecticut. Founder Michael Smulders listened to his Celiac customers complain about the taste of many of the gluten free options available to them. He thought that no one should have to suffer because of a food allergy or other special dietary need, and made it his mission to create products that were good for them but taste like they aren't.
Late in 2003, after tasting a granola recipe one of the bakers was working on, Smulders said, "these gluten free people need granola!" He walked through the store and gathered ingredients and baked the first batch that day. It took almost 2 years to find gluten free sources of all the ingredients and find a place where we could make the product without risk of cross-contamination. Three years and two bakeries later, their gluten free granola is made in a 34,000 square foot manufacturing facility with state of the art quality controls and in-house gluten testing on every batch. Located just a few miles down the road from the original bakery, the plant maintains the small bakery quality by continuing to bake in small batches.

Awwwww, poor Lazer Pony~
Though i guess God Girl will feel sorry for Lazer Pony staying all night outside in the cold and gonna have a better solution about not enough bedrooms. ^^
Oh COME ON! Stop messing with our heads! Horse-cowgirl. Cowgirls-horse. Add one and one together!!! XD

I am writing this letter in support of re-electing Cynthia Pratt to the Lacey City Council. Cynthia has demonstrated the skills needed to be a functional council member. She listens to her constituents with an open mind and builds consensus without the rancor so often found in elected bodies these days.
She supports her local schools, as evidenced by her presence at last week's luncheon for the NTPS Educational Foundation. Hearing the inspiring stories from NTPS staff so touch a cord of those present that they opened their pocketbooks to make it the most successful program ever. Cynthia is concerned about our environment, but she also supports smart growth. A stagnant city is a dying city.
She is looking ahead to secure low-cost loans and grants to help finance sewer lines to replace failing septic systems. As Lacey ages, more and more families will find themselves in the position of having to replace their septic systems to the tune of $10,000 to $25,000. Lastly, Cynthia supports the Senior City Expansion Project that will provide more opportunities for our aging population.

Now that the Muslim Brotherhood's candidate Mohammed Morsi has become Egypt's new president, some fear the end of the revolution and the beginning of an Arab winter. Voices among Oxfam's partners in Egypt, however, remain optimistic.
A group of leading international humanitarian, development, social justice, environmental, and workers' organisations today warned that next month's UN Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio+20) looks set to add almost nothing to global efforts to deliver sustainable development.
Across the world people are coming together to demand that our leaders take action now to curb harmful emissions and pay to help countries adapt to climate change.
As citizens around the world witness the events which unfolded in Egypt on Friday February 11, Oxfam congratulates the Egyptian people and expresses its admiration and respect for all those who persisted in their call for freedom and democracy in a courageous and peaceful manner.
Voluntary approaches to increasing transparent and accountable management of natural resources wealth are making sluggish progress. The Extractive Industry Transparency Initiative must put in place additional mandatory disclosure rules.
Oxfam aims to show that poverty is not inevitable, and that justice is possible. For this we need your help – please join us. When people speak out, change happens.

Tonight, bonfires can be found in Cork and Limerick. It is to markMidsummer Eve, which happens to also coincide with the Midsummer Festival. Bonna Night is what the locals 'round here call it.
Last night, a few of us went to the Céilí sa Spiegeltent as part of the Cork Midsummer Festival. What fun that was!!! Music and dancing going on well into the evening. With numerous events each day, there is always something to do in Cork City this month. To read through all the events of the festival, download the book.
Before traveling to France this month, I looked on Ravelry to see where users in the cities I'd be visiting bought their yarn, hoping to get shopping ideas for myself. In the course of admiring yarn, I was so amazed at a few Ravelers's projects I had to write them and reiterated my inquiry. As a result, I made plans with two fabulous women to meet while I was on holiday. They each were welcoming, kind, and great company. As an added bonus, I met a third Raveler by chance! It was one of those cute moments when she asked what I do and I mentioned my blogs and she asked what I blog about and I responded and once the word 'knitting' was out we started shouting and jumping like school chums reunited. I look forward to keeping in touch with all three and basking in the kind world we live in. When so much negativity, violence, and oppression is seen in the news each day, it is a glimmer of hope to know there are still good people out there with warm hearts and open minds.
FOR ALL THINGS KNITTING AND CRAFT-RELATED, VISIT OUR SISTER BLOG: Spring Stitches.
Today, we will be enjoying World Wide Knit In Public Day in Fitzgerald Park. What fun! Though our local KIP fun is not on the main KIP Day website, it will be happening. Makes me wonder why we need one particular day to draw us out of doors.

America has a half-million foster children.
Merced, a county of 255,000, has 760.
Henrik Jul Hansen was born in Denmark and trained as a conductor at the Royal Danish Music Conservatory and its counterparts in Sweden and London. He's conductor of the Merced Symphony and the Sacramento Ballet Orchestra, and has waved his baton over several other orchestras in California and New York. He's also performed at Carnegie Hall.
And he teaches at UC Merced.
What does the lion-maned maestro have to do with foster kids?
A lot, it turns out. Over the years, he's volunteered his time teaching music appreciation to schoolchildren.
So when Nancy Young-Bergman, field rep for Assemblywoman Cathleen Galgiani, and Ana Pagan, director of the Human Services Agency, asked him to help some foster kids become aware of music, he was more than happy to oblige.
He's taken four of them to performances of "The Nutcracker" in Sacramento and this week appeared at Golden Valley High in three concerts for 1,500 youngsters -- not all of them foster children -- from 18 schools.
On Tuesday his friend from Germany, Talia Refeld, will perform in front of 80-plus foster children at the Multicultural Arts Center. A USC graduate, she works with orphans in Germany "to open their eyes to the beauty of music," Young-Bergman says.
"It's very important to do this," Hansen says. "We all need to help elevate what is around us. Youth are the most important community of people for our future."
For years, he's watched the eyes of kids widen as they listen to and learn about music. He's seen it improve their creativity, communication skills and teamwork. "Music can affect how they think and how they live their lives," he says. "It enriches the quality of their lives."
He's noticed special qualities about foster children: "They may be more adult than other kids their own age. It's been a necessity for them to take care of themselves. They're a little timid. When you give them something, they really open up. They've never really done acting (as a conductor) before. I just gave them a baton. I've seen them grow. It's all about self-confidence, teamwork and having the right spirit.
"There is definitely someone home -- and more so, I would say."
He teaches them about both vocal and instrumental music. And he makes it fun. At Golden Valley, he got Jim Kocher of Playhouse Merced, to "shave" a boy wearing a Green Bay Packers jersey as the Merced Symphony Association played "The Barber of Seville."
Later in the program, Hansen recruited two teenage boys who wound up "dueling" with each other and him with their batons as the orchestra whirled through "The Saber Dance." The kids in the audience screamed with laughter. And for "The 1812 Overture," paper bags were handed out to every kid to blow up and pop during the cannonade at the end.
The music clearly captivated the kids. And foster children need all the help they can get. Those in the foster care system are twice as likely as their peers outside it to leave high school without a diploma, according to WestEd, a nonpartisan nonprofit R&D service agency with 17 offices nationwide.
Foster kids are absent more, get worse grades, receive more disciplinary action and "are significantly overrepresented" in special ed programs, the agency reported.
By the time they're 22, some 51 percent are unemployed, 25 percent are homeless and nearly 20 percent are incarcerated.
Young-Bergman majored in music at Kansas State University, holds a doctorate in public health from the University of Texas and more recently has been a strong supporter of CASA, Court Appointed Special Advocates.
She's been a driving force behind twinning foster children with music. "Persistence is the key," she says. "Don't fall victim to 'It can't be done!' "
They're both fans of El Sistema, the National System of Youth and Children's Orchestras in Venezuela. It "is unlike any other music education program in the world," according to Boston.com. "Since its founding in 1975, the program has taken more than a million children between the ages of 2 and 18, many of them poor, and provided them with instruments and free lessons, creating a new class of young musicians."
Could that happen in Merced?
Young-Bergman says County Superintendent of Schools Steve Gomes has told her a lot of instruments aren't being used in schools because of budget cutbacks. The vision and enthusiasm of people like Hansen, Young-Bergman, Pagan and others make the dream of foster children finding themselves through music seem doable.
Apart from introducing foster kids and other youngsters to music, what does Hansen -- whose six-page, single-spaced résumé is filled with awards and honors from all over the world -- think of Merced? (He lives here three days a week when he's teaching, and the rest of the time in Sacramento.)
Merced is "definitely on the rise," he says. "Merced is in the process of attracting good people and attention. I hope the people of Merced enjoy the change that's coming -- a positive one."

Bud Selig should have his own fan code of conduct rule to stop unruly fans at MLB parks. Imagine if the Red Sox and Dodgers meet in the World Series-could this happen? Mr. Selig, think about fan violence the way Roger Goodell and the NFL did or else fan violence will just tarnish the sport like the Mitchell Report last year.

Why did he spy on the government in the first place?
Excuse me if this is a dumb question, but why is the display driver exposed to the network at all?
Hewlett-Packard makes ammunition? I thought they only made cheap printer ink and sold it in expensive half filled cartridges.
I wouldn't buy ammunition from HP though, it wouldn't work with your gun unless you bought a special chip, and then while the clip looks like it's full, the gun will tell you it's empty half way through so you have to go buy more ammo.
Ohh, how do you plan to do this AC? Really? Start another website?
Have you got any actual *implementable* ideas?
Or are you eating Cheetos in your mothers basement?
Serious question. What *do* you plan to do?
Propagating ideas is important too. It's not as important as action, yes, but what Assange has done will be meaningless unless his message of openness doesn't spread through voting society.
If 51% of voters support Assange, who cares if they do it eating cheetos? You think the US is worried about one man? They're worried about his message. And it's too late to stop that. The best they can do is distract people from the leaks by punishing Assange and making sure it's this embassy bollocks in the media instead of the contents of those cables.
But we do thank him for the NBN (even if it might mean we will soon have a national debt to rival greece to pay for it).
Wow, get your facts straight.
The NBN is already paid for with government bonds, which will return 4% to investors, however, the NBN itself will make 7% ROI, which means Australian government will pocket 3% from the exercise. Which will probably be spent on even more infrastructure. Which is a lot better than Telstra did, I think all the money they ever made went straight to Sol Trujillo's retirement fund. How on earth can you describe 3% profit as sending Australia into debt?
Please Mr Abbot, stop mucking around on Slashdot and go develop a real policy alternative instead of just spreading FUD and automatically gainsaying whatever the ALP comes up with.
By the same logic, people only ever use the shutdown mechanism of the OS once every session, so it should probably be removed too.
So, another solid example of the "Pure science and engineering" stuff that NASA does bleeding into real world applications.
Kind of.
From Hollywood Reporter:
"Never more than at this moment in the modern era have we needed a profound reminder of the colossally important and exciting role that science, space exploration and the human quest for knowledge must continue to play in our development as a species," said MacFarlane.
Quite a serious side to the man. Clearly, menstruation and holocaust jokes are just his day job.
Clearly McFarlane is just a bizarro human, opposite to all normal guys, who work really boring jobs in science, engineering etc, and are only free to make menstruation and holocaust jokes in their spare time.
But charging a tax? That's just bullshit.
It's not really a tax, it's a surcharge. And it's not BS, it's a reasonably clever publicity campaign. It's selfish, but the overall intention is good, to encourage people to move away from IE7. Nobody can say it's not good to encourage that.
Obviously you can just avoid the surcharge by, as the webpage suggests, following a link and getting Mozilla or Chrome.
Kogan didn't have to do anything at all, he had a lot of options, he chose this one as a way to stir up discussion, highlight to consumers that IE7 adds unnecessary development costs, and encourage people to switch to a better browser.
Don't forget the endless and amusing conniptions they give to Gerry Harvey of "Hardly Normal", king of wildly inflated prices.
Not quite.
95 Good
98 Meh
98 SE Good
ME Bad
Actually ME looked quite good on screenshots. It just looked bad when you used it, because the UI which looked almost exactly like 98SE would be punctuated with repetitive errors and then the whole screen would turn a familiar ugly blue colour.
I don't see how this is not free speech. They can still say whatever they want, and show off photoshopped skeleton women if they want.
They just have to be honest about what they are doing now.
Somewhere in the mad stampede to protect free speech, the USA has forgotten the value of facts, truth, and integrity, and they've done so at a cost far greater than the freedom of speech gives them.
Try not playing bad console ports, your life will be magically better.
Only a Sith deals in absolutes!
We have a equal opportunity Calculus class -- it's fully integrated.

2013 Salary Survey: New challenges for an aging workforce
Manufacturing seen as more secure, but needing more young workers
In the last decade, through the Plant Engineering Salary Survey, we've watched our readers make their way through times of great productivity, great recession, and great recovery. They have taken each journey one step at a time, one year at a time.
In 2013, they crossed another threshold. They jumped into a new age demographic. The average respondent is now between the ages of 55 and 59. We've watched the aging of the plant workforce carefully over the past decade, and this year it takes another leap toward the far end of the spectrum.
In the 2013 survey, 43% respondents are over age 55; another 19% are over age 50. That compares with just 15% under the age of 40. In fact, there are more people over the age of 60 than under the age of 40. The issue here is far more than just statistical. The inability to infuse manufacturing with new talent threatens to undo the tremendous gains in productivity, safety, and quality realized in the past five years. Since the 2009 recession, manufacturing has been the shining light in the American economy, and the envy of the rest of the world.
The one warning sign on the horizon is the lack of new skilled workers and managers coming into the industry, and the 2013 Salary Survey shows that time to answer this signal is running short. It's not that like the issue isn't obvious to our read-ers, however. For the last decade, readers have recognized the lack of new skilled workers in manufacturing as the top issue facing the indus-try. In 2013, it was more than twice as popular as any other issue.
With the recession far in the rear-view mirror, manufacturing now must face its most urgent issue head on. That's something Plant Engineering readers consistently are willing to do. Once again this year, it is the technical challenge and the feeling of accomplishment that drive readers to achieve manufacturing excellence.
It is that challenge that propelled manufacturing to pull itself out of the recession, and take the rest of the country along with it. That also is reflected in one of our most important questions: "Is manufacturing a secure career?" In 2013, a full 75% of all respondents answered positively. That's 11 percentage points higher than the 2012 figure, and the highest level we have ever recorded. In 2006, by comparison, just 62% of respondents thought manufacturing was a secure career.
Manufacturing rediscovered its confidence in 2013, and reaffirmed its leadership role as the economic engine of the country. If we can take strides to address to workforce issue in the coming year, there may be no limit to the growth that could follow.
Who we are
The split between the generations of manufacturing could not be more profound. Compared to 2012 data, plant workers with various job titles over the age of 50 grew increased, while workers below the age of 50 decreased. There are 25% fewer workers in the 40 to 44 age bracket in 2013 than in 2012, and 38% are over the age of 60.
At a time when all of the other data tended to jump around, this was one of the only places where there were only minute changes. There were also no major changes in regional factors. If the issues surrounding plant management continue to swirl, the plant manager himself is staying put and building on the success of the past year.
What we make
After a big jump in overall compensation in 2012, pay leveled off in 2013. The average salary was fractionally higher at an average of $95,660, but bonus compensation slipped to an average of $11,678. That left overall compensation at $107,104; that's 3.2% lower than 2012, but 7.4% higher than 2011.
What we think
Plant managers love their job. They are technically challenged by it, and personally enriched by it. They feel their job is secure at a level never before seen, and they believe their skills are valued within the organization. There is increased attention on safety in the workplace that extends beyond compensation. When asked what area their management emphasizes, 34% said operations and 25% said safety. When asked what area should be emphasized, 26% said safety first, as opposed to just 20% for operations.

Annual Salary Survey
Participate in the 2013 Salary Survey
In a year when manufacturing continued to lead the economic rebound, it makes sense that plant manager bonuses rebounded. Plant Engineering's annual Salary Survey shows both wages and bonuses rose in 2012 after a retreat the year before.
Average salary across all job titles for plant floor management rose 3.5% to $95,446, and bonus compensation jumped to $15,162, a 4.2% increase from the 2010 level and double the 2011 total, which showed a sharp drop in bonus.
