Some elementary and middle school classrooms in the Mountain View Whisman school district are more than 50 years old and obviously need to be renovated or replaced.

These are just scare tactics!
"Among the improvements listed on Measure G promotional materials:"
The key word is promotional.
"• All schools will be brought up to current fire and earthquake standards."
These 50 year old classrooms have withstood many an earthquake. Just how dangerous are these classrooms to fire hazards anyway? Seriously. If you've ever stepped inside a classroom you'd see right away that there are plenty of exits in case of fire. No dangers there.
"• Hazardous materials like lead and asbestos will be removed from all buildings."
This is just another scare tactic. People should be more concerned with getting run over on the streets by unlicensed drivers.
"• Repairs and upgrades will be made to plumbing, sewers and classrooms and all schools will be made accessible to children with disabilities"
This was already done just ten years ago.
"• Science labs, classroom computers and other technology will be upgraded, and;"
This was also already done just ten years ago. Hirer better teachers! That will make much more of a difference. But first you'd have to get rid of the union and tenure.
"• Energy and operational efficiency will be upgraded to save money that can be used to protect quality programs and teachers."
Protect is right. The union and tenure will protect the bad teachers, and more money will just flow into administrator salaries.
Vote NO!
Besides, the district and board continues to allow senior administrators (assistant superintendents) to receive generous raises right before announcing retirement (pension spiking)! Neither are good stewards of the taxpayer's money.

"Using a very broad yardstick, two board members met with designers, experts and builders and conducted four public hearings before deciding to move forward with a $198 million bond issue" which is where the main problem is with this JUNE BOND - this is a long-term community decision, made with the minimal possible public input.
The Bryant family on Dana Street commented on local schools in the Voice in 2005 on spending/closing/reopening: "This is not an issue that concerns only the school, its parents and its students. It is a citywide issue, a Mountain View issue. ". By two 'abstain' votes the Board could have waited for NOVEMBER Bond. After waiting, now 24 months, without ANY school site PUBLIC committee meetings, I feel the Board has shown contempt for the open process we usually use in this city of Mountain View.
Specifics? Check the mvwsd.org site for the Facilities Plan (page 7 budget).
Walter's "wish list" (quote to the Voice) demolishes four dozen permanent classrooms, and a dozen attached restrooms. All of these are of the same average construction as the refurbished hundreds that will be kept. WHISMAN NEIGHBORHOOD SCHOOL, incredibly, does not have $1 specifically allocated in Walter's "wish list". On her map - Whisman School does not exist. Demolish/rebuild more than enough rooms for an ENTIRE NEW K-5 SCHOOL, but no money, no 'line-item', no 'column' for Whisman? That is a travesty of inequality on one of our 'least rich' neighborhoods, with 2 closed "surplus" schools !
Bryants 2005: "Having or not having neighborhood schools, caring or not caring for the quality of life in our neighborhoods is a citywide issue, a Mountain View issue. We are all stakeholders."
This is one specific issue with "wish list" public spending, done with back-room planning. Another, the "wish list" is $423 Million - the Measure G bond is $198 Million, less than half the funding needed.
Tell us exactly what you are going to spend on, before you tax us. INCLUDE US. Don't make "a wish list" like the High Speed Rail fiasco.

The official rebuttal to the opposition, which is published in our voter pamphlets and signed by our community's most respected leaders, factually refutes all of the erroneous allegations made by the few opponents of Measure G. Read the facts about Measure G for yourself by visiting the League of Women Voters website at: Web Link
Posted by Ike, a resident of the Blossom Valley neighborhood, on May 12, 2012 at 12:13 pm
Ms. Walter:
What am I missing in this link? Almost everyone for this measure is on the public dime with big fat pensions and benefits. Nearly everyone against are private sector taxpayers. I can't even find a teacher who is for it!
And aren't you one of the board members that approved those two administrators back in 2006 to retire with spiked pensions by letting them roll everything they could into their final pay (cost of health care benefits, phone and car allowance, ect)? Yes, technically legal but morally outrageous. And since then, such practice has been outlawed by the State legislature.
And now there's the rumor of two more assistant superintendent retiring next month having just gotten salary increases in the 11th hour, once again approved by your board, and once again can be easily construed as pension spiking. And now you come out as a responsible steward of public money? I don't think so.
VOTE NO on Measure G!
Posted by TechHead, a resident of the Sylvan Park neighborhood, on May 12, 2012 at 12:37 pm
Typical. With every new superintendent we get a new bond measure. It's as if the each want tons of money to spend on perceived needs to enact some vision they have. How about just getting high quality teachers in front of children with chalk and chalkboard? The internet comes later or at home. Like or not, that's how those of us employed in Silicon Vally and undertaking cutting edge research and working for leading technology companies cut our teeth. Many of us probably even went to school in similar 50 year old classrooms.
And is it just me, or isn't really funny how no one runs for school board with many of the seats going uncontested or made up of appointees, but then these same appointees claim to speak for the best interests of the people. It seems pretty clear to me that voters in Mountain View have little interest in who runs for school board or any of these board measures since we all know it's just a money-grabbing game.
Posted by Jim Pollart, a resident of the North Whisman neighborhood, on May 12, 2012 at 3:21 pm
My wife and I have lived in MV for 15 years. Our kids have attended MV public schools for the past 9 years. I have been active on a number of levels in the district during that time. I am also a licensed civil engineer and I have worked as a developer / builder in the bay area for the last 20 years, so I know construction.
I understand folks have questions about how these bond funds will be used (if the bond passes). To satisfy myself, I read the Facilities Plan, and I approached the school board and superintendent directly to get answers to my questions. Based on that, I am satisfied the district has a plan in place to manage the construction program efficiently, and the money will be put to good use for the benefit of our students. I am also confident there will be plenty of public input to identify the specific projects to be built, and in what order (if you're uncomfortable on that score, step up and join the citizen oversight committee to provide your input first hand).
So based on all that, I encourage everybody go vote yes on Measure G. Our city is moving up in the world big time, but we will only ever be as strong a community as our schools. So let's give our students the modern facilities they deserve so our students can be part of of the mountain view success story!
Posted by VOTE NO ON MEASURE E, a resident of the Gemello neighborhood, on May 12, 2012 at 5:58 pm
Gee thanks Jim for the rhetorical reference to authority--you are a civil engineer with experience in construction so you give it a stamp of approval. As Steve Nelson has already pointed out, the district really doesn't have a solid plan. It's just another one of those "trust us, we can handle it". These are hard times, we don't need any more taxes! Even more so by administrators who always manage to walk off with $150,000 pensions for life while leaving the schools without enough money to hire enough teachers (or don't you remember all the layoffs and increased class sizes?).
Posted by Parent, a resident of the North Whisman neighborhood, on May 13, 2012 at 7:37 am
How could anyone vote yes on this measure knowing full well that more tax measures will appear on the ballot in November? The November ones will be required just to keep public education from real trouble, like laying off more teachers and shortening the school year. We need to prioritize between what is more important at the moment. There is a good reason this is no the June ballot. The district knows it doesn't stand a chance in November. Also think of how much more residents can afford to pay in tax increases in a single year. The average bill here will be more than $150. I'm predicting more like $250 per household. Then get ready for the Bush tax cuts to expire (an additional $2000+ per family) and for whatever tax increases the state want to throw at you (say another $250). On top of this you have the city raising utility rates anywhere between three and eight percent! And then don't forget the skyrocketing price of food which is outpacing inflation. If you've got kids, you then also have to factor in the higher and higher costs of a college education.
So what's more important, pretty buildings or the real threat of crowded classrooms with teachers and schools on reduced academic years?
Vote NO. Now is not the time. This is not a priority.
Posted by Steven Nelson, a resident of the Cuesta Park neighborhood, on May 13, 2012 at 8:11 am
Dear Jim Pollart, I well understand your personal expertise on construction. But you also, as a High School District Bond oversight member know that the LEGAL function of a Prop 39 Comm. is audit after-the-fact. The high school has a twenty year veteran at the hand of bond spending, Sup. Goldman is in his second year and has never overseen a construction bond. WE ARE NOT IMPRESSED: he has not urged the Board to come back to the community in the last two years as promised. LEGALLY, the Board may set up a community-based advisory committee on leasing/facilities (Whisman did it first with a "7-11" then a 20 person committee). Jim, I look forward to you running for school board - I hope you won't again be swayed by sitting school board members not to 'throw in your hat'!
Respectfully, Steven Nelson

Enough already! Everyone knows that all of the 2 bedroom 1 bath house s in our town cost almost $800,000. That would be an average of at least $240.00 per household. Why should homeowners be penalized? Hw about renters? The local parochial schools get by without new facilities and seem to be doing a better job t deducing the kids there.
Vote NO! No more taxes
Posted by district insider, a resident of the Cuesta Park neighborhood, on May 14, 2012 at 11:02 pm
I would have put the average home price at about $1 million. That's $300 per year for how many years? Does anyone know how many years we would be paying for this bond?
My wife and I can't afford to rebuild our 1940 era house but we are expected to pay for the district's 2nd remodel in 10 years?
Our schools are gorgeous. What, they have to look like the Pink Palace known as City Hall?
Look at the conditions at St. Joseph, Girls Middle School, or any one of the numerous small Christian schools in Mountain View. They are doing just fine thank you educating their students in some pretty old and entirely satisfactory buildings. St. Francis has tons of new facilities because they have parents who can afford to foot the bill.
More than 40 percent of the students in the Mountain View district are on the free-lunch program. Their parents will be very likely hit with a rent increase as a result of this bond. I'm sure they'll be happy to have the privilege to pay more for 3 families to live in a 2 bedroom apartment just so their kids can go to class in 2-story buildings on the other side of town.
Vote NO on G!
NO more taxes!
Cut the 6-figure annual pensions of retired administrators if you want more money.
Posted by Parent of Student at Whisman, a resident of the Gemello neighborhood, on May 15, 2012 at 11:11 pm
OK, so your plan is to throw out the 300 kids currently at Whisman? I will certainly vote NO on G!

Earlier this month, it was announced that Dan Snyder, who owns the greatest football team in the world, has purchased Johnny Rockets, which happens to make the greatest fast-food veggie burger in the world. To celebrate this match made in heaven for vegetarian football fans, PETA has teamed up with Johnny Rockets to give away coupons for free Streamliner veggie burgers throughout the month of March. In the interests of full disclosure here, there are some strings attached, in the sense that you have to buy one first before you get your free one, but it's still a pretty sweet deal—besides, if you can't eat two veggie burgers in a sitting, other vegetarians will think you're a sissy, and nobody wants that. Also, while we're being honest with each other, I totally made up all that stuff about PETA doing this because of the Washington Redskins connection. I just got overexcited and carried away, and I'm sorry. How about I make it up to you with a free veggie burger?

Chris P. from Virginia Beach, VA
I bought this product for my girlfriend for Christmas. The service I received was incredible, and I got it in a fraction of the time I had expected. The basket is very well made, and a gorgeous style. I greatly appreciated everything about this order!
Cindy J. from Wayne, MI
I love my picnic basket! The quality is excellent as well as all the accessories. I even received it earlier than expected. I was very satisfied and will, surely, order from your website again. Thanks!
Pamela P. from Amarillo, TX
We were very happy with the basket we chose. We gave it to my 26 year old daughter for her birthday with items for "Breakfast in Bed" with her husband. The only flaw was 2 pepper shakers with "P" on top and no "S" for salt. We pre-filled them so we noticed, attention to detail was missed.
Kim J. from Lake Orion, MI
I bought this for a wedding shower gift and it was an instant hit! The quality is outstanding. The wicker is rich and sturdy, the leather strap offers easy handling and it even has a removable leather shoulder strap. The accessories are all compact and coordinated. The domed lid gives extra space which is nice since it is truly only big enough for two.
Cal D. from Atlanta.GA
Basket is exceptional. I am very pleased.
Richard P. from Caledonia, IL
The picnic basket is beautiful and the service from your website was outstanding. My only suggestion would be to make the basket larger. With all the items that are in the basket there isn,t much room to add some personel items that I am sure most familys would have.
Debbie L. from Springfield MA
It is nice to give as a gift. Honestly, it makes a nice presentation plus it is worth the price of 60-65 dollars. It would be nicer still if the leather like clasp holders were real leather. The napkins are very simple plus basic but serve the purpose. The company gets 5 stars from me for its prompt and accurate information, personal attention to my requests, and for going above and beyond in getting me the gift I wanted to buy as quickly as possible!
B. C. from San Angelo, TX
It was a gift, but they liked it a lot.
Steve S. from St. Charles, MO
The basket was very nicely made and we are quite satisfied with the design and structure. We were giving this item as a gift and we decided to replaced the table cloth and napkins.
Geannine B. from Wilmington, NC
The buckle on one side of the basket broke after the first use. The product is not good quality.

CULVER CITY, Calif.--One of the things that struck me towards the end of the animated surfing penguin mockumentary, Surf's Up, is that I had forgotten that every bit of water in the film--mainly loads of lovingly rendered surfing waves--was digitally animated.
Even after that realization, I looked at the water in the film and thought the animators had done a remarkable job at recreating one of the things that, like making human hair look realistic, has always been hardest to recreate.
Others must agree, because last month, Surf's Up was chosen as one three nominees for … Read more

But in technology circles at least, I've heard few, if any, references to the fact that Jobs' other company, Pixar--OK, Disney-Pixar--also has a major launch Friday.
And that, if you haven't been paying attention through the iPhone haze, is Ratatouille, Pixar's latest film and, if the early reviews are indicative, its latest hit.
Jobs is already noteworthy among tech titans for running two vital companies at the same time (at least when Pixar was independent), but I'm having … Read more

One day I had an idea, and I discussed it with Mark Miller, and then he made it a great idea: What if we took two totally opposite viewpoints, threw them together, and mix in a little humor and fun. We wanted to launch this series with a grab bag of goodies that would be Family Friendly and able to be read by just about anyone. I think if you give this story a try you will not be disappointed. Next up for the series is Volume 2 – The Intercourse Boondogle. For those of you that may not know, Intercourse is a town in Lancaster, Pa.. It has plenty of nice places to shop and an abundance of Bed & Breakfasts to stay. Below is the synopsis for the series and Volume 1 – The Whoopie Affair, the link to the story and the Amazon Author Page for Mark Miller.Enjoy!
Warning, before you even consider reading this, understand that this is a story about a guy that is large, feels he is in charge, and is ready to kick some butt. In truth, he is essentially deaf, almost blind, socially handicapped and has little sense of smell to boot. Add to that his basic disregard for proper attire and you have one humorous, heartfelt, and at times moving story. Okay maybe not that heartfelt or moving, but it may all depend on how you look at things. If you can get past the loud Hawaiian shirts, shorts, and glaring white knee socks and sandals then you can get to the meat and potatoes of what is coming at you.
It is a diverse and respectful viewpoint of life, both in and out of the Amish community, and how the Plain Folk and English view each other.
In Volume 1- The Whoopie Affair , meet G, the erstwhile suburban hitman, and Eli, the Amish blacksmith.
Two totally different men. Two totally different families. Two entirely separate worlds.
One destiny.
What happens when this unlikely dynamic duo go about solving the mystery of the missing whoopie pies? Plenty of mirth, merriment, malevolence, and muck, but above all, good clean family fun. This is a story that can be read by anyone of any age, from 9 to 99. So saddle up, get in the SUV or horse and buggy, put on your wrap around shades, tighten up those suspenders, fix your ball cap or straw hat on top of your head, and get your sandals or boots on! It is time to roll and party with Eli the blacksmith and G the hitman in an adventure you are not soon to forget.
You will never look at a horse and buggy the same way again.

CD/LP/Track Review
Andrew Hill: Change (2007)
Completed only five months after Compulsion (Blue Note, 1965), pianist Andrew Hill's creative free-form breakthrough, this quartet session was recorded, edited, titled and cataloged, but never officially released under his own name. Unceremoniously shelved at the time, like a number of recent reissues documenting Hill's more experimental 1960s work, the six principle cuts were eventually issued under Sam Rivers' name as Involution (Blue Note, 1976). The two alternate takes were included in The Complete Blue Note Andrew Hill Sessions 1963-1966 (Mosaic, 1995).
Available for the first time in its entirety, the aptly title Change is a rich and complex collection reflecting the gradual shift in Hill's writing from advanced traditional structures to outré forms. One of the finest avant-garde Blue Note titles, it is representative of the then burgeoning inside-outside aesthetic embraced by fellow label-mates Sam Rivers, Cecil Taylor, Grachan Moncur III and Jackie McLean.
The quartet immediately demonstrates their intense rapport and compelling interaction on "Violence," the turbulent, labyrinthine opener. Drummer J.C. Moses unleashes torrents of spitfire percussion, while Sam Rivers spews bristling, circuitous fragments on tenor. Hill's singular contributions are cerebral and abstract, but also soulful, churning with propulsive energy. Bassist Walter Booker delivers a monolithic bass solo in the eye of the storm, as Hill quietly accompanies him with brittle harpsichord clusters.
The jaunty "Illusion" deconstructs a montuno form with irreverent charm, while "Hope" intensifies from somber reflection to roiling vigor over a bustling waltz rhythm. The foreboding "Desire" blends a mid-tempo 5/4 cadence with focused deliberation and searing lyricism.
Unveiling a genteel side, "Pain" and "Lust" are restrained trio excursions. The curiously titled, "Pain" works a light-hearted Monkish vibe, showcasing brilliant bass work from Booker, while "Lust" is downright romantic.
The alternate takes provide further insight into the quartet's working methods. "Violence" is compact and intense, while "Desire" is brisk and assertive.
Knotty, jagged and abstruse, Hill's music from this period can be difficult for mainstream listeners, but yields great rewards. A fascinating document in the discography of one of the most important jazz composers of the twentieth century, Change is an essential reissue.
Track Listing: Violence; Pain; Illusion; Hope; Lust; Desire; Violence (alt. tk.); Desire (alt. tk.).
Personnel: Andrew Hill: piano, harpsichord; Sam Rivers: tenor saxophone; Walter Booker: bass; J.C. Moses: drums.
Record Label: Blue Note Records
Style: Modern Jazz

No problem HB. I've been thinking on this some as well.
This verse came to mind:
But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man. For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies: These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man.
(Mat 15:18-20 KJV)
You could say that the heart of every unsaved person is like an abyss.
Jesus didn't mince any words when he described the fall of man.
In a historical context it would be reasonable to say that the tower of Babel and Babylon came from the abyss because they came from the hearts of fallen men. The source of Paganism. Nothing of paganism has come from the Lord.

With the right policies, the Mexican government can protect the middle class and overcome intergenerational poverty—despite the crisis.
Can Latin American governments tackle inequality in the midst of the global economic downturn? Although some countries—most notably Brazil and Chile—have made dramatic gains in reducing poverty and expanding the middle class, Latin America remains, in the first decade of the twenty-first century, one of the world's most unequal regions. Inequality has deep roots in the region's

colonial history and institutions, but a major driver of today's income gap is the uneven access to public goods such as education. Unequal access to education and other productive assets is not only the source of wide economic disparities, but it also prevents intergenerational mobility.
Examining the case of Mexico can help us find ways to understand this phenomenon. The gap

The art history major course requirements include three core courses (Principles of Art, Ancient and Medieval Art, and Renaissance to Modern Art) that survey the history of art through the ages. The curriculum concludes with the "capstone" course, where students reflect on the work they have done in the major. Art history majors will also complete at least two introductory studio art classes. This component offers the chance to understand how art is made and introduces students to some of the creative and technical challenges faced by the artists.
Courses and electives are repeated regularly, and there is typically no requirement to take courses in any given order.
The art history discipline minor offers students the chance to engage in an extensive program of study that can easily be appended to a focus in another major. Six art history courses (three core courses and three electives) fulfill the art history minor requirements.

I was so happy to hear this news. He is the man and finally a step in the right direction FOR ONCE in years!
But what do you guys think of his age??
Can he handle the job??
and how long has he been away from football, can he do the same thing he did in the 70s ??
i saw that early yesterday
is it true? i havent heard anyone else talk about it! even the merged team melli thread didnt mention it
Wow, money's the church, fame is the steeple
Everyone on the telly indoctrinate the people
He's not the manager (head coach). And I'm sorry but people's pre-revolutionary nostalgia makes them forget this guy has not coached anywhere meaningful or gotten any decent results in nearly 20 years!
================================================== ======
Proud member of the Arabist society. Interested members please PM me or current members
----Current Members----
im not following the front page article, what it saying then?
Old news
When it comes to football, Mohajerani is the most qualified Iranian to manage our National Teams. He is not there to coach any of our teams; he is there to manage the day-to-day activities of all our national football teams.
Iranian coaches and footballers alike, look up to Mohajerani as he was the man who put Iran's name on the footballing map. He is the reason why Iran to this day receives such high praises from those who are familiar with Asian Football. It is true that he has not managed or coached in quite a while, even so, he is still the best choice for the Manager position. And here's why. He is capable of creating the required unity within TM camps, which is an essential ingredient for the success of TMs, for without unity there can be no team play.
Throughout history, it has been the inaction of those who could have acted the indifference of those who should have known better the silence of the voice of justice when it mattered most that has made it possible for evil to triumph.
He who joyfully marches in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would suffice.
OMG Iranian football news is so damn confusing...
so is he the manager or not??? We can't even get happy about any news...anyways i think its a good thing if he's in charge and i hope its true.
yes he is EKBATAN.
About Mahajerani, some of you guys may be too young to know him and his background. His serious coaching experience started when he became assistant coach to OFarrell in the national team. He learned from him. Talking about 35 years ago or so. He was very successful with our youth teams and won Asian championship games for the youth levels. When he became the head coach of Iran, many argued that it was a bit too soon for him but nevertheless, Iran's football at the time was at the top of the Asian level and Mahajerani succeeded in getting us through to WC in Argentina.
He was at the top of Iranian soccer coaching level. Nothing more. The people who praise him day and night in Iran are all his players, like Parvin, Hejazi, Roshan, etc. His knowledge of the game is not at the level of European coaches, but he can supervise the national team efforts as he is respected and experienced. Please do not make out to be football generous or guru. In UAE, he helped them start their football on a more solid ground as there was not coherent football there. But after a few years, the recognized that to advance further they needed European coaches and they sidelined Mahajerani to the youth level and then nothing.
I am glad that he is back in Iran. I think he is a decent man who wants to help. I only hope that with him we do not see any infusion of his students to the coaching rank of our national teams.
what happened in 1974 WC qualifiers??

Selah Audio and Solaja
Dragan Solaja of Serbia (pictured) also pointed out the Solaja SA-TUC1 remote controlled passive preamplifier ($1800, not yet distributed in the US), Solaja SA-R tube preamp ($4500), and Red Dragon Audio M500 50W monoblocks ($1398/pair). Zooming into the photo also reveals a Marantz player and Benchmark DAC.
The preamp I heard had 6dB volume detents, which meant that we could never get the right volume level for the music I wanted to hear. When I finally surrendered to too low volume, the sound was most successful in the tweeter range. The woofer side of things was, according to my notes, "kinda wooly", neither clear nor full enough. Perhaps the woofer sounds better at higher volume.

The revisions to the Guidelines for Uniform Performance Standards and Evaluation Criteria have implications for K-12 teachers and administrators throughout the Commonwealth. At this time, HB 576 and SB 438 are in committee. The bill contains a number of changes for public education. I am going to focus on just one piece of that legislation—Standard 7.
Standard 7 indicates that teacher "evaluations shall include student academic progress as a significant component and an overall summative rating." The Department of Education has provided seven performance standards under which all teachers are to be evaluated. The seventh standard, Student Academic Progress, is the one that is causing heartburn for many.
The cause of this heartburn is two-fold. First, the original legislation had an implementation date of July 1, 2012. This did not give school divisions much time to develop, implement, and "sell" such a policy change to teachers. To implement such a change, school divisions would need to revise their current teacher evaluation policies. To do this well, school divisions need to understand the change, bring together stakeholders to discuss the change, and to draft a new policy to bring before the school board. All of this takes time. Fortunately, the current legislation has an amended implementation date of July 1, 2013. This gives divisions more time to gather information and involve stakeholders.
The second cause of heartburn comes from the difficulty in determining what academic progress looks like and what types of data sources can be used to measure this progress. Again, school divisions need time to understand how to help teachers set strategic, measurable, attainable, realistic, and time-bound (SMART) goals and how such a measure effects a teacher's overall summative evaluation.
Local school boards are ultimately responsible for the implementation of such a policy. I believe that only good can come from delaying implementation by a year. That will give school divisions time to implement thoughtfully and with fidelity. Teachers need time to learn how to write and set SMART goals. Giving teachers the autonomy to set their own goals is both advantageous and concerning. Teachers know their content and their students. They should be able to set meaningful goals that provide data on how well their students are progressing. What is concerning is the possibility that some teachers may set goals that are not rigorous or supportive of a school's improvement plan.
Change is difficult. There is no doubt about that. The irony of this change is that it seems to be all about teachers, but it is not–it's finally all about students.
I believe it is time for schools to be about learning, not teaching. This legislation does just that. In fact, if Standard 7 is done well, teachers and students both learn and grow.

Welcome! Arkport artist Jay Pullman welcomes you to his online gallery. Most of his paintings are original oils, but he also has some watercolors, charcoal drawings, prints and note cards. Jay's subject matter is diverse, including scenes from Provence, the Southern Tier and Finger Lakes, flowers, landscapes, portraits, and Civil War subjects inspired by members of the 21st Georgia. One of the greatest challenges in sharing images on the web is the quality of the image. For that reason, we are changing our website and sharing only those images which have been professionally scanned. Many of these have been reproduced in prints and notecards. Our preference is that you visit a display or Jay's studio. The studio will be open as a part of the Steuben County Arts in Bloom weekend, April 26-28, 2013, or you can call and arrange a visit. We have notecards available at Berry Vine Creations in Arkport, and also at the Canacadea Country Store in Alfred Station. If you don't find what you are looking for, let us know--we may be able to create the piece of artwork you are looking for. We also offer gift certificates, which may be used for originals, prints, or note cards. |

Who said smart watches were a fad? The intelligent wristwear market, while not exactly new, is iron-hot, as evidenced by everyone and their mother's intentions to enter it. The real winners now are those companies able to introduce stop-gap products that fill the void between, say, Pebble and Google's rumored Android watch. The insatiable demand for these halfway smartwatches is perhaps epitomized by the early success of Secret Labs's and House of Horology's Agent watch, a Kickstarter project which blew through its $100,000 goal in less than 12 hours today.
That's not to say the Agent is without merits. Its internals are smartly designed around power efficiency, ease-of-charge, and simple interfacing with existing electronics.

What a Suprise!.
We went there for a fish fry on a friday night. I've read some posts below, and I have to disagree! We had one of the best waitresses I have ever had! She has so many recomindations for us! We ate a fish fry and drank bloody marys. Not only was the fish fry perfect, the bloodies were fantastic! They came with a sausage stick and tasted great!
Later that night at 9pm, there was a live band! We didn't even know there was going to be a band that night, and they were awesome! We were only going there for dinner, and ended up staying till bar close listening to the band and playing darts!
Overall, this was one of the best places around, and we will go back every week possible!
expect an attitude.... This bar may be clean but we have been there 4 times too many. The younger bartenders are rude, make you wait 10mins unless your a local, even if there are only a few people at the bar. Aside from the attitude, the food takes a while and is a hit or miss. We are very disappointed by the waitstaff and by the fact that even though they have messed up our food orders everytime, we get no apologies or reason. Just a take it or leave it. Its very sad...the fish fry was more expensive than others around and not the best either.
Best Fish Fry & Service. This was our first time here and it was great, a real bargain and plenty to eat. The beer was very fresh, perfectly chilled, and the fish was very tasty and fresh. Service was outstanding, and the overall atmosphere is real nice. Would highly recommend for any family or a just a new place to try. Great Experiance !!!
Great Service and food!. This place is awesome, the food was great, the service was great and overall had good prices. Some drinks were high, but were made well. The only con was the parking. Due to the amount of people being in the bar, it was hard to find a spot, but after finding, had a great time and was worth the wait. The bartenders did an awesome job. The lady was very friendly and sparked conversation with me even though the bar was packed! Awesome job guys!!!
Take your money elsewhere. Grainger's is a bar that brings in a lot of bad elements from the nearby southside of milwaukee. It's main problem is location. As for the staff, you'll wait a consierable amount of time to be helped. Plus, they are not very good at giving change, so watch that. Overall I give this place a D. lots of room for improvement
Best fish Fry in town!!. The food here is awesome, best fish ever! Wish I could say the same for the bartenders. They are somewhat lazy, rude and unfriendly. Otherwise it's a great place. Lots to do, games, darts, pool and a great jukebox.

Several business energy users have come out in support of the government's forth carbon budget.
The Confederation of British Industry (CBI) said it welcomes energy and climate change secretary Chris Huhne's decision to back the recommendations of the Committee on Climate Change, which commits the UK to reducing its carbon dioxide emissions by 50 per cent on 1990 levels by 2025.
Katja Hall, director of policy at the CBI, commented that the government will need to get its short-term priorities right if the new targets have any chance of success.
"With the green economy potentially bringing in £200 billion of investment into the UK's energy sector alone, we need policies that will foster growth by decarbonising our energy supply, increase energy efficiency and support the competitiveness of our manufacturing base," she explained.
It will be the success of policies including the Green Investment Bank, electricity market reform and the Green Deal that will determine whether the country can meet its ambitious targets, Ms Hall added.
Businesses that want to do their bit for the carbon-cutting exercise could compare green energy tariffs to see whether they can get a cheaper deal.

CHARLESTON – Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin, in a letter to the secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, says he wants more information before deciding whether to expand Medicaid in the state.
Tomblin, a Democrat, sent a five-page letter with a list of 16 separate questions to Kathleen Sebelius Thursday.
"My staff and I have spent the last several weeks analyzing the recent Supreme Court ruling regarding the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. We are taking this analysis very seriously and attempting to balance several key factors in determining how to proceed. At this point, we need more information before West Virginia can make the crucial decisions required by the Act," the governor said in a statement. "The decision on whether to expand Medicaid for working West Virginians is significant.
"On the one hand, the expansion would cover well over 100,000 hard working West Virginians and would in turn allow them to begin receiving appropriate diagnosis and treatment at a much earlier stage. In a state where heart disease, diabetes and other chronic health conditions occur at levels far too high, this type of access to health care could provide meaningful improvements to the health of our citizens. It also has the potential to reduce health care costs in the future, saving taxpayer dollars and keeping insurance premiums and copays lower," Tomblin said.
He continued, "On the other hand, even though the promised federal match rate is very favorable, I must determine whether the State can afford this expansion in the long run. I think we all agree the federal government's current fiscal path is unsustainable."
Tomblin said he is "cautious" in relying on the government's "future funding promises."
"Before a final decision is made, West Virginia must have a plan for the long-term sustainability of any type of Medicaid expansion. Right now, we don't have the information necessary to make the decision," he explained.
To see Tomblin's letter — and the complete list of questions — click here.
More than two years after President Barack Obama's Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act was signed into law, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 5-4 that most of it is constitutional.
The Court, in its highly-anticipated June 28 opinion, ruled that the controversial provision of the federal health care reform requiring individuals to purchase insurance or face a financial penalty is a constitutional tax.
The individual mandate — the chief issue before the nation's high court — imposed a $695 annual penalty on individuals who did not purchase health insurance. Obama's own budget director said in February that the mandate was not a tax.
"The Affordable Care Act's requirement that certain individuals pay a financial penalty for not obtaining health insurance may reasonably be characterized as a tax," Chief Justice John Roberts wrote.
"Because the Constitution permits such a tax, it is not our role to forbid it, or to pass upon its wisdom or fairness."
Roberts was joined in the majority by Obama-appointees Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan, as well as Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Stephen Breyer. Voting against the ACA were justices Anthony Kennedy, Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito.
The Court's opinion also said that if a state does not comply with new eligibility requirements for Medicaid, the states can only lose new funds available instead of all of their funding.

Pendleton to play corpse bride
12:17am Friday 26th October 2012 in National Entertainment News © Press Association 2013
Victoria Pendleton is to play a corpse bride in this weekend's Halloween-themed edition of Strictly Come Dancing - just months before she is due to tie the knot herself.
The Olympic cyclist is to play a glamorous, goth-like character as she and Brendan Cole dance a tango to Billy Idol's White Wedding on Saturday.
And Anton Du Beke is to make a comeback just days after being given the boot from the show to play the vicar who officiates at the ceremony.
Olympic golden girl Victoria is planning her own wedding to fiance Scott Gardner next summer.
The stars are each planning spooky performances as they prepare for the traditional Halloween edition of the BBC One dance contest.
Gymnast Louis Smith and partner Flavia Cacace are to play a pair of zombies as they run though a tango to Rihanna's Disturbia.
Sid Owen is to dress as a Ghostbuster, along with partner Ola Jordan, as they dance to the Ray Parker Jr theme from the hit 1980s film.
Ola is expected to be back to rehearsals on Thursday after taking a break and heading back to her native Poland to visit her mother who has suffered a heart attack.
Sid has been dancing with Iveta Lukosiute while she has been out of the country.
Former Westlife star Nicky Byrne and partner Karen Hauer will be dancing to the theme from Weird Science, recorded by Oingo Boingo.
