am I the only one who really hates these maps?
Like (2)
Coming from cod4 on the pc to this game on the xbox360 the maps just feel more crowded, almost as if I have no room to really enjoy a long range fight.
These maps are just so poorly designed that they only really work for one type of play style and everything else gets shafted. I've yet to see anywhere on the maps that can be used as a last ditch defensive clutch, or where squad based tatics would really put my team on top against run and gun zergers. everything feels hectic and clusterf***ed. I mean wheres the overwatch areas for snipers like the 3 story building from crash, the back buildings on ambush with mgs for falling back to and doing some old fashion defense, or the tatical advancing found in some matchs on strike.
everymaps seems to be designed for the brainless zergs
here is how mw3 map desgine works. they make the maps that would suit every playstyle from sniping to running and gunning.
then acivision comes in and places a car or a building or closes off a passage way in every single spot that there would be a normal long shooting lane or escape route. then they went and found every hint of a bottle neck and gave it another way to access from behind.

Activision doesn't design the maps, they just publish the game. Infinity Raven Hammer are the map designers. And yes, it seems like almost everybody agrees the maps suck. Too much clutter and crap everywhere. Everything is just narrow walkways so you don't have to aim, yo ujsut spray diretly in front of wherever you are. The higer gun damage means you get loads of easy kills as well. The crap spawn sysem and poor map design just makes the game almost unplayable.
I strongly dislike MW3's maps as well. Too crowded and makes the spawns much worse.
yea i've noticed the spawn system as well seems to have gotten worse at finding safe areas to spawn players. I wonder what game tester gave this a good to go.
you strongly dislike them? I hate them and want to burn them with fire and maybe a new better map will be born from the ashs.
Yes, the maps are a bit ridiculous. I've been looking at them and realistically there are no "long" range gun battles in this game. Everything is short to mid range at most. Very disappointing.
Ya Doesn't make sense to include sniper rifles if there is no long range areas to overwatch. I bet IW is trolling snipers again.
They are more like MW maps, but in MW they fit the playstyle better than this game.
playstyle? everyone has a different playstyle, i myself perfer to stay at range or play as a defender. both of which were possible in cod4,W@W, and Black ops. It seems like IW is trying to get rid of defenders whom really dig in and snipers.

Swimming: Nawn helps Penncrest leave records in its wake
NEWTOWN SQUARE — Phillip Nawn was born in 1996. The record he chased down Monday at Marple Newtown High School was swum in 1995.
Age may just be a number, but the far more impressive figure was the time of 4 minutes, 53.25 seconds that the Penncrest swimmer put up, one of two pool records downed by a young but talented Penncrest team en route to a 102-78 win over the hosts. The Penncrest girls team also claimed a comfortable win by a 101-85 margin.
Nawn got his season off to a fast start, doing the distance double by winning the 200 and 500 free, each as part of a 1-2 finish with younger brother, Liam. It was the swim in the 500, though, that was a target. No matter what the clock said, in any swim in which the winner laps not just one swimmer but the whole field, he has to be doing something right.
"I saw it when I came in, and I was like, 'oh, I can get this,'" said Nawn, who has been under 4:50 outside of high school competition, of the 500 free mark. "Coach was definitely telling me to go get it."
"Before his race, it was, 'I want to beat that record; I want to be under 4:55,'" Penncrest coach Andy Ikeler said. "So we were talking about a plan to make sure he stayed under 4:55 in that race. And he did a great job in a race where he wasn't being pushed."
It was the second record-breaking swim of the day, following the 200 individual medley put forth by Iago Dall'Orto. The native of Brazil who is studying at Penncrest for his senior season clocked in at 2:04.09, erasing the mark set by All-Delco Tyler Minford in 2009 by more than eight-tenths of a second.
"I was a little nervous, but I did great I think," Dall'Orto said. "I swam a long time in Brazil, but I arrived here at the school and was really surprised to break a record."
Dall'Orto also got to the wall first in the 100 breaststroke, and he was joined as a double-winner by freshman Daniel Roseberger, who took first in the 100 butterfly and 100 backstroke, the latter part of a 1-2-3 sweep by the Lions. Ian Swindell's win in the 100 free also keyed a 1-2-3 Penncrest finish, and Brandon Davis' score of 174.45 won diving.
Pete Tzumakaris was involved in both of Marple Newtown's wins. He won the 50 free in a time of 24.09 seconds, outdueling Adam Hosier and Nathan Michaliszyn by four-tenths and seven-tenths, respectively. Tzumakaris also anchored Marple on its victorious 200 free relay.
While a distance swimmer took center stage for the boys, it was a sprinter who stole the show for the Penncrest girls team. Mary Kate Boylan was dominant over the short distances and took part in two winning relays. Continued...
Boylan started out with the backstroke leg of the medley relay that won by almost 11 seconds. In the 50, she clocked in at 25.03, having distanced herself from the field by a full body length after just 15 yards. She flirted with a pool record in the 100 free, setting for a win in 56.02 seconds that was more than six seconds better than her nearest competitor. And just for good measure, she anchored the 200 free relay that won by more than five seconds.
It wasn't a bad day for someone who entered feeling a little under the weather.
"After the 50, it felt really good," Boylan said. "I didn't think I was going to swim a 25. ... Coach (Ted Woolery) thought I was going to do a 25. I guess it just happened. I didn't think I was going to."
Keeping with the theme of youth, Penncrest got wins from promising freshman Lauren Woznicki in the 200 IM and 100 fly. Mariah Kozub got to the wall first in the 100 breast, and Rachel Cotton was the high-scorer in diving.
Marple Newtown's Makaela Somma was victorious in the 100 back, but it was Marissa Loro who shined the brightest for the Tigers, winning the 200 and 500 freestyle.
"I was really surprised about the time," Loro said about clocking in at 6:03.58 in the 500. "I used to go like 6:30, so I was really happy with the time."
In other swimming action:
St. Hubert 92, Bonner-Prendergast 71
Victoria Brooks was victorious in the 50 and 100 free and also anchored the Pandas' winning 200 free relay, but it wasn't enough to win their Catholic League opener at Widener University.
Meredith Benson added a win in the 100 fly, and she combined with Brooks, Cesira Giacomin and Colleen King to win the 200 free relay.

Here is my Cro->HRE game
I was having alot of luck in the game. Turkey didn't attacked me, and i did randomly get the emperor title, and from that date, i started to steam roll everyone.
First victim
What to say, after the war, France didn't conquer anymore and it was slowly dying. After 23 years they were a minor nation.
Second victim(first as emperor)
Killed Scandinavia, they are a minor nation now
Third victim(second as emperor)
Turkey was the strongest nation in the world! I was having ready a 100k army against them, but it was not even enough to kill them. Thanx to my vassals (Austria!) i managed to throw them away from my border, and release Rome.

Nicely done! But you didn't colonize everything. (Never mind the fact that with another 140 years you could do it easily. Actually, now that I think about it, colonization would be tricky if you're trying to remain an OPM. You'd have to rely on vassals, unless you count colonizing and then immediately selling the province to a vassal. But with that method you couldn't get inland colonies.)
I'd imagine you're doing pretty good in tech.
Isn't the idea of vassalage that a powerful, strong (and probably BIG) nation protects some weaker (and probably SMALLER) nations? ... Oh, nevermind, forget it...

Geospatial Technology conference looks at its potential in natural disaster
This week's International Conference on Geo-information for Disaster Management is being held in Enschede in the Netherlands. Organisers will ask participants to find steady ground in a new workshop activity aimed at pooling skills and ideas about using data and sensor technologies to respond to natural disasters.
Operational CIOs from around the world will work with emergency services field operatives to trial a realtime response to an earthquake scenario, having to make use of whatever technology and data the group can get their hands on from the exercise field at Twente Military Airport base.
Best practices in harnessing military information, field transport, and urban and police systems will be developed on the fly and documented for the geographical information and disaster management workforce.
The exercise will conclude the conference proceedings which will focus on latest techniques in:
- Data modelling and visualisation
- Sensor and communication networks
- User requirements and best practices.
Keynote speakers include:
Ed Parsons: Geospatial Technologist of Google,
Mark Neerincx: Extensive experience in fundamental and applied research on human-computer interaction for defense, security and health.
Keep up with conference proceedings and presentations at http://www.gi4dm.net/2012/

No. 26 COLUMBUS, OHIO, FRIDAY, JULY I, I95S D«vot«d tc- A—•-*eap and Jsw ih Idaali LOCAL UJF DIRECTOR TO STUDY OPERATIONS OF UJA IN ISRAEL Maurice Bernstein, executive di¬ rector of the United Jewish Fund ot Columbus, will l^ave In mid- July for a flying trip to Israel, North Africa and France. Selected as one of 15 executive directors of similar organizations throughout the country, Bernstein will bo part of a Study Mission sponsored by the National United Jewish Appeal. In making the announcement, Troy A. Felbel, Fund president, stated that Columbus should feci quite honored that its director -should be chosen aa a member of such a select group. "Considering the many cities in the United States Which contribute funds to the United Jewish Ap¬ peal, I feel that we are extremely fortunate that Mr. Bernstein will have a first hand opportunity to see the results achieved by the millions of dollars which Columbus and American Jewry have contrib¬ uted during the paat 10 to 15 years for the relief and resettlement of our unfortunate co-religlonists overseas. He will also be able to see personally, and to bring back to Columbus and nearby communi¬ ties, an accurate picture of the needs and responsibilities which HONORARY DEGRER RECIPIENTS AT BRANDEIS UNIVERSITY commencemeni held last Sunday were, from left to right: Edward M.

World^ORT Congress in Action GENEVA, (JTA) - With dele¬ gates In attendance from 27 coun¬ tries, and messages of greeting from prominent world leaders, In¬ cluding President Eisenhower and President Itzhah Ben Zvi of Israel, the World ORT Union opened Its world congress hero, marking the 7Dth OQiiiveraary of the founding ot the organlra^on. Paying tribute to CRT's work in the fleld' of rehabilitation aa an "Inspiring Job," Eisenhower told the congress In hl^ message; "The schools, vocational centers ahd training workshops which ORT sponsors among the free nations of the world contribute to the soc¬ ial and economic well-eblng of those natlonb. Your congress, while focusing attention upon the ac<- hiovements of an exceptionally fine organization which has seen 70 years of devoted service to hu¬ manity, testifies to the fact that free men can voluntarily overcome dlfferepces of custom, race and nationality to work together for a good cause." Highlights of tho opening ses¬ sion, held In the historic Electoral Palace here, were addresses by Pr. Aron Syngalowskl, chairman of the ORT world executive committee, and David Morse, director-general of tho International Labor Office, a United Nations specialized agen¬ cy that has Its world headquarters here. The XLO and ORT have "much in common." Mr. Morse declared, both organizations having expand¬ ed thc scale and scope of their work in recent years. Pledging ILO's continuing support to the work of ORT, Morse praised the World ORT Union highly for pro¬ viding "constructive help to both emigration and . immigration" in countries all over the world. Dr. Syngalowskl, outling the his¬ tory of ORT from its beginnings in Czarlst Russia 75 years ago, pointed out that ORT hrs never "mixed politics" with its work, its "only aim being to increase the number of qualified workers, im¬ prove tile cultural level of the worker, contribute to the rebirth and reconstruction of the v/orld JEWISH INSTITUTE FOK ETHICAL STUDIES IN THE AToAnO AGE NEW YORK. (JTA) - - Estab¬ lishment of an Institute for Ethical Studies in the Atomic Age, which will enable scholars to devote full time to studies that might bring ethics, theology and philosophy to a high level commensurate with scientific achievements, was an¬ nounced here by the Jewish Theo¬ logical SeJiTilnary of America. The announcement waa made by Dr. Louis Flnkelstein, chancellor of tho Seminary and Admiral Lewis L. Strauss, chairman of the United States Atomic Energy Com¬ mission who is also chairman of tho Seminary's library committee. Tho new institute has been launch¬ ed with an Initial grant of $125,000 from thc Ziskind Memorial Fund, on a peaceful basis a world In whicil our people occupy a place corresponding to the Jew's crea¬ tive and historical powers." ORT, said Dr. Syngalowskl, Is "a bridge leading from our- ancient genera¬ tion to the present—and frqrji our time to the future." In summarizing CRT's more re¬ cent accomplishments, Dr. Syn¬ galowskl paid special tribute to the work achieved by the organi¬ zation in the United States. He had particular praise for tlie extension of ORT's work, to North African countries and to Iran, as well as the expansion of its activities In Israel. ORT haa "taken root In the soil" of many countcios in the last six years, Dr. Syngalowskl report¬ ed. Among the "tests" met by ORT in the last half decade, he declared, was the, need to shift its activities elsewhere after compulsory ces¬ sation of its activities in countries behind the Iron Curtain. In tho last six years, the ORT leader reported, more than 80,000 students have passed through the organization's schools. Further¬ more, the majority of students now are younger people. Adults had mode up 75% of the students in 1949, he said, while last year the adults numbered only 25%. Tho number of students in European countries now total 4,230. During the lost six years, 29,000 students graduated from ORT schools. Tens of thousands of others hod to emi¬ grate before completing their courses. still remain and fof which sub¬ stantial funds continue to bo re¬ quired." Thc 15 Fund directors who will observe UJA installations and aC' tlvities, come from such widely scattered cities as Los Angeles, Houston, Memphis, Denver, Akron and Norfolk. Tho group Is sched¬ uled to leave New York by plane on July 17, fly directly to Israel for a 10-day • stay, then return to Paris for several days before flying to Casablanca for observation of conditions in the poverty ridden areas of North Africa. Paris Is the headquarters of the vast m^twork ot sorvlcca provided by the Joint Distribution Committee throughout Europe. Plans call for a return to the U. S. on Aug. 11. In explaining the purpose of the trip, Feibel commented, "We know that this Study Mission will be most valuable to Mr Bernstein In carrying on hla work." Likening it to a post-graduate course, Feibel said that, "the oxperloncea and op- i portunlties to observe, whtch will j be possible on a trip such aa this. should provide a rich fund of In¬ formation, both for our Director and the entire community," Feibel added, "A number of our contributors have been to Israel In the past several years including, among others, Mr. and Mrs. Rob¬ ert Schiff (Mr. Schiff has been I past Campaign chairman and past j president of the Fund); Mr. and 1 Mrs. Samuel Melton (Mr. Melton I was Campaign chairman In 1951) 1 and currently vice-president of the j Fund; Mr. and Mrs. Harry Gilbert; I Mr. and Mrs. Herman Luckoff; Dr. j and Mrs. Maurice Rusoff; Prof, and Mrs. Theodore Beckman; and Mi-, and Mrs, Abe Weinfeld (Mr. Weinfeld Is currently treasurer of the Fund). The Beckmans and Welnfclds are currently In Israel. The visit of Mr. Bernstein and the advice of all those who have been to Israel should be of assistance to the Allocations Committee in constructive way that only per¬ sonal first-hand information can provide." WHILE IN ISRAEL, those on the Study Mission will meet with President Itzhak Ben-Zvi, Finance Minister Levi Eshlcol, Jewish Agency Treasurer Dr. Glora Jos- ephthal, and other officials, and on July 19 will partlcipat^ln the opening of the giant, 66-mIle Yar- kon-Negev irrigation pipeline which has been constructed in part with funds from the UJA. Its survey will also take It to the Port of Haifa to witness the arrlvEil of immigrants from North Africa; to Lachish In the region southeast of Jerusalem where many of Israel's new inimigranCs are now being settled; to transi¬ tional immigrant villages in the Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, Haifa and Ti¬ berias areas; and to agricultural settlements in the Beershcba and Galilee regions where new develop¬ ments are tsJcing place In the growing of Industrial crops and the raising of cattle.

Brian Scott farms with his father and grandfather on 2,300 acres of land in northwest Indiana. They grow corn, soybeans, popcorn, and wheat and he blogs about it at The Farmer's Life:
As we seeded our corn, soybeans, and popcorn on our Indiana farm this spring, there were many reasons to think that we would harvest a fantastic crop this fall. To start, we had a new John Deere planter equipped to help us plant with greater efficiency and accuracy than ever before. Then March came with temperatures 20-30 degrees above normal. Warm temperatures and dry conditions meant a very early start to planting on our farm. It seemed that with a long growing season ahead that the sky was limit for yield. That seems forever ago now.
In a normal year (I'm not sure that's a real thing) we might start planting around the middle of April. This year we began on March 29. A March planting date for corn and soybeans is all but unheard of in Northern Indiana, but with daily high temps pushing 80 degrees instead of more typical mid-50s field conditions were right.
We talked about the risk of an April frost damaging young plants. In the end, we decided to go ahead with field work thinking we would have a head start when the rains came and pushed us out of the field.
The rain never really did come for much of the United States. In fact, we stopped planting for five or six days to wait for chances of rain to develop. To stop planting because we'd like to see more moisture in the soil to aid germination is a strange thing for us. Usually we are waiting for fields to dry out so we can plant in the right conditions. But at the time, waiting for rain was not a big deal. Planting was still two to three weeks ahead of schedule, and with our new, wider planter we were covering 10 acres per hour more than last year. No need to get in a big hurry. It was best to wait for conditions to improve.
Going into June crops could not have looked better. I don't recall corn looking so good and so tall early in the season. "Knee high by the Fourth of July" is a goal that was achieved in late May and early June in all our fields. But it hadn't rained more than a few tenths at a time for several weeks, and those rains were few and far between.
We were impressed how great the fields looked despite the lack of moisture. We actually saw that as a good sign because we've had so much rain the last few years that crops didn't put down very extensive root systems. This year plants got to put roots down deep. That's better than shallow roots if the rain suddenly stops in a wet year.
As June rolled on, it just didn't rain. And it got hotter. A lot hotter. Daytime temperatures in the 90s became the norm. 100+ degree days came around far too often. By the time July 1 came around, the corn crop hadn't put on much more growth. I began saying that although corn looked very tall a month previous, it now seemed short taking into consideration how early the crop had been planted. Then it started to put on tassels and enter the pollination phase. That's when we first started to get concerned.
Excessive heat is hard on a corn field trying to pollinate. Compared to soybeans, corn has a short window to successfully pollinate. Over the last week we have been in the fields sampling ears of corn. There are a surprising number of ears that I would call very nice ears in a good year. There are also ears that are very small, and some partially pollinated - which means they are not filled with kernels. And there are plants out there with no ears at all.
It's difficult to estimate what yield will be when harvest begins because we are finding a lot of inconsistency when we are scouting. Right now, we think crops on our best land could yield around 120 bushels of corn to the acre. That's about 50 bushels an acre lower than our five-year average. Ironically we received a much needed two inches of rainfall the night after CNN covered the drought from our our farm, but no amount of rain is going to improve our corn crop at this point.

But subsequent tweets on her account said that "I refused to apologize to the Zionist lobby in America, under pressure from the U.S. government, for previous Anti-Zionist statements so that prize was withdrawn."
The State Department said it initially selected her due to the "incredible bravery and courage she displayed at the time of the Tahrir Square protests," agency spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said.
But on Thursday, the Obama administration changed course.
"We, as a department, became aware very late in the process about Samira Ibrahim's alleged public comments. After careful consideration, we've decided that we should defer presenting this award to Ms. Ibrahim this year so that we have a chance to look further into these statements."
The International Women of Courage Award annually recognizes women who have shown exceptional courage and leadership in advocating for women's rights and empowerment, the State Department said.
The nine award recipients on Friday included women from Afghanistan, Honduras, Nigeria, Russia, Somalia, China, Syria and Vietnam.

I think lots of the changes are really cosmetic and not usefull for a photographer.
All the in-camera-editing stuff for example.
But there is a Big Miss I think. I mean the possibility to have the distinct fine autofocus tuning for the max and min focal length of the Zoom lenses.
This is pure software stuff and could reduce a real problem with the Canon-AF-Saga.
The problem is not only saving dollars for the repair centers, but to have poperly focused pics, as those centers most of times don't admit the problem and not accept the lens for recalibration (or they return the lens in the same state you give them!)

Hikari's Black 2 & White 2 Adventure
Black 2 Part 5: Don't go into the long grass!
Sorry guys for the delay, I had loads of problems with my computer and it's all been too awkward and everything, but finally a new Black 2 Adventure blog entry is here, and it's one where you'll see me in a big rageface. Beware, this is not for the faint-hearted to read.
So, this entry all started last week when I defeated Skyla and earned the Jet Badge. I taught my Lucario ThunderPunch to help give him an edge against her Flying-types. Managed to beat her using just Lucario, which was kinda cool.
Next, I had to go find Professor Juniper, which meant going through THAT ONE ROUTE I HATE SO MUCH IN UNOVA I WANT TO DESTROY IT a.k.a. Route 7. I don't get why I hate it, it's probably cos I have something against routes with long grass, and that reminds me of that Don't go into the long grass! scene in Jurassic Park. Oh man I hate long grass (Route 7's is by far the ugliest of the long grass routes to date), but I breezed through quickly to get to Celestial Tower, find Juniper and even get a nice gift from her - a Lucky Egg. I even caught myself an Elgyem to top it all off. Didn't even bother to get the X-Scissor TM cos I couldn't bear to see another patch of long grass or I would have gone into total rageface.
After I returned to Mistralton City, I went with Juniper, Bianca and Skyla to Lentimas Town and I had a look around. Then I went to the confusing Reversal Mountain, with Bianca by my side. After so many battles, I found my way to Undella Town and then went to the Strange House, where I picked up a Dusk Stone and the Lunar Wing. Also caught a Skorupi on the way.
Going to be training for the Opelucid Gym next, so see ya'll next time!

Education reform in Connecticut a 'work in progress'
HARTFORD — The latest version of education reform continues to restrict the power of the commissioner, elevates the role of the University of Connecticut's education school to administer a teacher evaluation model and makes sure the unions get to negotiate changes at turnaround schools.
It also rules out putting low-achieving schools under the control of a private entity or conversion to a charter school, which would exclude such national models as KIPP and Green Dot, as well as Achievement First.
The commissioner, who originally would have had the sole authority in reconstituting low-achieving schools, now would have to put them under the authority of local school boards, regional education service centers or a Connecticut nonprofit higher education institution, which is expected to be UConn's Neag School of Education.
New Haven, which has its own turnaround model for low-achieving schools, has already brought in Domus and Renaissance Learning, private groups, to run two of its schools.
"It sounds like the land of steady habits and steady habits haven't served our students well," one educator remarked after reading the latest changes. He said it felt like an overreaction to concerns about privatization of public education.
Some lawmakers are concerned however, about the influence of Leeds Global Partners, first reported by the Connecticut Post, in developing Gov. Dannel P. Malloy's education bill. Leeds offers consulting services on school issues, which it markets as "attractive investment opportunities."
Its co-founder, Jonathan Gyurko, was director of charter schools for New York City, although supporters have said Randi Weingarten, head of the national American Federation of Teachers, has vouched for Gyurko's public school credentials versus privatization.
Also, the $195,000 contract for Leeds was awarded without competitive bidding, through the State Education Resource Center. Malloy said the no-bid process has been in place since SERC was founded in 2005, but he has asked his staff to look into it.
The language of a education bill to replace the one proposed in February by Malloy is still being revised and lawmakers and union officials were reluctant Thursday to comment on the 8-page summary as the situation is still fluid.
"It's a work in progress. The governor's position hasn't changed: he wants to sign a bill, but he'll only sign a bill that represents real reform. And he'd like to reach an agreement by May 9," said Roy Occiogrosso, special advisor to Malloy, referring to last day of the legislative session. Continued...
Sharon Palmer, president of Connecticut AFT, said the mechanics of the evaluation component appear to be based on New Haven's, with the help of UConn, but it was difficult to analyze the changes too closely without the exact language changes.
Mary Loftus Levine, executive director of the CEA, refrained from commenting until the bill's language is released. The teacher unions were heavily involved in initial discussions with lawmakers, but not in this latest round of closed-door meetings.
Charter school advocates and Republican House Minority Leader Lawrence Cafero, R-Norwalk, characterized the newest version of proposed reform as a step backwards.
"It decimates charter schools, as far as I can see. It is completely driven by the Connecticut Education Association and seems to retreat from where we are now in terms of expanding choice," Cafero said.
The proposed language only says that grants for state and local charters schools be added to a town's Educational Cost Sharing grant and the districts are then required to pass those on to the charters. Some felt this would set up a fight with the charters.
The changes would also require that the first two state charter schools approved by the state Board of Education have as its primary focus, English language learners, but it doesn't limit state charters.
The new commissioner, Stefan Pryor, will be required to pick at least 5, but not more than 25 schools by August to be designated as turnaround schools, with a 7-member committee made up of stakeholders applying by July for this designation, a group that would also be responsible for the turnaround plan.
One major stumbling block for teachers was allowing Pryor to make changes in working conditions at turnaround schools. The proposed changes would make this a collective bargaining item to be decided in 30 days, similar to what is already done in New Haven and in CommPact schools.
This model is also in place in Massachusetts, which Malloy often holds up as a state to emulate on education reform. Malloy has already agreed to roll out teacher evaluation changes in a limited number of districts and the proposed language requires Pryor to administer such a pilot in 10 districts.
Five would use the model developed by the Performance Evaluation Advisory Council and the rest would use Neag's model with districts applying by May 25. The 10 would have to represent rural, suburban and urban systems. UConn's Neag School of Education also would be responsible for evaluating the two programs. Continued...
Patrick Riccards, executive director of ConnCAN, was upset with the changes, particularly in the turnaround schools. He said operational and structural changes are needed to get better academic outcomes. He criticized the lack of input from parents administrators and the public. With two weeks to go in the session, "they still don't have a sense of urgency," he said, referring to lawmakers.
The administration had already backed off some changes in teacher preparation programs until it could be studied further, but the latest proposal would require these programs to provide teaching experience in each of the last four semesters starting this July.
On teacher certification, it requires teachers to have an appropriate master's degree for a professional certification, starting in July 2016. It also moves up the elimination of Certified Education Units, which teachers have complained have little to do with improving their performance, to a more professional development program as of this July, instead of July 2014.
The newest language eliminates the ability of the state Board of Education to accept private donations for exemplary schools, nor can the commissioner give them financial rewards or operational flexibility. For uniform accounting, all sources of revenue, cash and property donations must be revealed.

A look at the PyPy 2.0 release
As for taking a slice of a control group hierarchy and making it visible in a container the best practical solution I have heard is to do a "mount --bind" of a slice of that hierarchy into a container. Something better was promised at the time control groups were merged but that has never appeared.
The design mistake of embedding a view of the system packed with global identifiers and silly unwarranted assumptions into a filesystem seems to be an easy mistake to make and is very annoying to deal with.
From what little time I have had to look at the control group interface to user space, and the control group model of controlling resources, and the direction all of that is evolving I really don't like the result. Still today control groups are the best solution we have in linux today to the recursive resource limiting problem.
I encourage people who care to help by looking at control groups, reporting bugs and usability problems, and even better writing and submitting patches.

Does lamb not "sit well" with anyone else? It's not making me vomit or anything, but I just feel sort of uneasy and kind of had to force myself to finish my lamb steak. I want to love lamb but :((( Any suggestions for making it more appetizing? Or is lamb just not for me?
Lamb might not be for you. I have a friend who loves the taste of it but says she gets hot flashes when she eats it. But she eats goat meat instead and enjoys the similar (but milder) flavor without the hot flashes. It can be an acquired taste. I grew up on it (my peeps are Greek) so I never considered not eating it. And I get very excited over a really well-cooked piece of lamb! |
I have the exact opposite thing. Hate the smell, I have to cover it up with A1 and melt some ghee over it, but I get an awesomely nice calm/happy feeling after eating it. So I'm getting over the smell. Actually have some in my lunch today. Eating it cold helps get rid of the smell too, but that's not your issue. Do you get that same kind of feeling with other dense meats? Is it a sit in your stomach like a rock, and can't digest it kind of thing? If so, you need more acid in your stomach. You could try taking a betaine-hcl capsule right before eating meat and see if that makes it better. If it does, that's exactly the issue. |
I used to buy lamb from the Giant grocery up the street when I first started paleo, but then after I bought a half-lamb direct from a farm, walking past the pre-packaged stuff in the store definitely makes me a little queasy. You can usually count on lamb to be grass-fed, but who knows what's going on with that regular grocery store stuff... Where are you getting your lamb? I also have a friend who wouldn't eat lamb because it gave her "a funny after-taste" that persisted for some time following a meal. But I convinced her to try some of my lamb from the local farm, now she's hooked. |
Yes, I have trouble with lamb. It's interesting, because I haven't been able to eat it because my companion is allergic... just a bite, even mixed in with other meats, and she's in the bathroom 'tanking'.... so I'd always had this idea that, when I had the chance, I was going to ENJOY some lamb... well, the first time I got some beautiful, pasture-raised lamb this past spring (a 'frenched' rack of lamb chops, and some ground lamb shoulder), I made some favorite "lamb" dishes... cherry-glazed rack of lamb, and moussaka. After eating them, (on two separate occasions), I got dizzy, disoriented, and nauseated. I later made the same glazed rack with pork, and moussaka with pasture-raised ground beef, for a couple of events (since they're beautiful and much cherished recipes) and didn't have a single problem... I've decided that my body isn't any happier with lamb than my companion's... so I don't eat it any more. |
I tried grass-fed ground lamb for the first time recently. Seemed "oily" compared with ground beef and ground buffalo. "Oily" not in a fat-phobic sense, mind you. More like duck is an oiler bird compared say with chicken. I'm fine with a lamb chop but didn't much care for the ground version. |
The first time I ate lamb, which wasn't very long ago, my stomach felt a little funny and I think it was the different fat composition. Ever since then, I've been lucky because it smells and tastes great and I have no symptoms afterward. If I were you, I wouldn't force myself to eat it but I wouldn't hesitate to try again after a few more months on this lifestyle. The longer you avoid refined foods and sweeteners, you're likely to get more comfortable with new real foods. |
Lamb and mutton (more likely mutton) can have strongly flavored fat, strongly flavored as in funky. Heck, I think lamb tastes like sheep smell, and sheep are the worst smelling livestock aside from horses IMO. |
If you like feeling weird, keep eating it. ("Like" meaning: want to continue feeling the way you feel when you eat lamb.) If you don't like feeling weird (from eating lamb), then stop. |
I've never been crazy about it. Fortunately, my parents rarely served, and I take few opportunities now to eat it. But I do keep trying. I've had some REALLY good stuff, but it's usually smothered in something. The last bite I had was a lamb curry at a thai restaurant in Fort Bragg, CA. My friends love Morrocan, so we have it there sometimes and it's dripping in something that makes it wonderful. (hack day, not strictly paleo) They're also fond of middle eastern food, and I've had yummy lamb stuff there too. |
I'm a New Zealander and have been eating a ton of lamb since childhood. Here are a few random thoughts.
Lamb is very fatty - losing some of the fat during cooking might help. e.g. if you make a stew or similar, drain some of the fat off to use later, don't try to eat it all. If you're doing a steak, try grilling it so that some of the fat can drip off. |
I used to hate it when I would get it at Trader Joe's because it had been shipped a long ways and had time to develop that special lamb funk. Now that I have a source where it is very fresh, 100% pastured, and a very mild tasting breed, it is the one thing that has never upset my stomach. Source, breed, age of culling, feed, and time before cooking can all change the way lamb tastes. Sounds like a bummer, I can't handle it when it has developed that particular eu de sheepie, but if it didn't have that, it might just not be for you. Check out goat, it is leaner and less prone to funkiness. |

Timothy Hughes Rare & Early Newspapers announces the launch of their newly designed website with enhanced visual appeal, a modern style and layout, and easier to use search tools.

The website is more pleasing to the eye, and individual newspaper products are easier to find.

These revamped entry pages offer website guests an overview of the particular era, and explain how newspapers influenced and shaped opinions. More photos and additional product listing functionality were also added to the main category pages.
Visitors to the site are also able to share their favorite newspaper finds with others on Facebook and Pinterest, or add a newspaper item to an existing Amazon Wish List with one click.
Heilenman concluded, "While our desire is to help preserve the past, we live in the present. The new website design captures both."

Gotta be sharp to catch some sharks: Sizable challenge can be conquered by following these steps
Some happy anglers display one of many sharks landed with Captain Mike Williams a mile off the Galveston beachfront. Photo courtesy Captain Mike Williams
By Luke Clayton
A potential client once asked Captain Mike Williams to describe hooking and landing a big shark.
Williams, who has spent a lifetime fishing and guiding anglers in the bays and gulf around Galveston, replied, "It's like standing on a street corner with a rod and reel and hooking a passing Harley Davidson going 80 miles an hour. I tell my new clients to anticipate the fish fight of their lives, then multiply their expectations by 10 and they will come close to understanding the sheer power of a big shark.
The only way to fully understand what shark fishing is really all about is to do it.
That day has come,
Williams keeps his big Boston Whaler heading out of the Galveston Yacht Basin, en route to the close-in waters off Galveston Island, on a daily basis. During the summer, he is taking his clients out to do battle with Blacktip, Spinner, Bull and occasionally Hammerhead and Tiger sharks. A client once landed a 400-pounder and sharks in the 50- to 120-pound range are common. The hotter the weather gets, the better the shark fishing. Most of this action takes place within a few miles of the Galveston beach front.
A boat ride of 3-10 miles out from the Galveston Jetties puts one smack dab in the middle of some of the best shark fishing in the Gulf of Mexico.
Williams employs several techniques to attract and catch sharks.
Floating big pieces of cut bait or whole gizzard shad under balloons is probably the most common, but he also uses down lines with heavy weights when the sharks are feeding closer to bottom. Just about any large, natural bait will entice a strike from a passing shark. Big, 16-ought circle hooks are used and reels are spooled with 50-80 pounds of monofilament line with 200-pound mono leaders.
"Some shark fishermen prefer wire or cable leaders, but I stick with monofilament," Williams said. "The circle hook almost always hooks the shark's lips and seldom comes in contact with the sets of razor sharp teeth, thus eliminating the need for wire leaders. I like the idea of being able to cut the line if something goes wrong when the shark finally comes boat side.
Bull sharks are particularly well known for being aggressive.
"I instruct my clients to stay well clear of their mouths when we pull them up boat side for pictures," Williams said. "We release the majority of sharks we catch. The daily limit is one per person and many of my clients like to take home a Blacktip in the 30- to 60-pound range for grilling. An average trip produces catch and release action on upwards of 15 or 20 sharks, sometimes twice that many."
Butchered properly, sharks are excellent eating, especially when cooked quickly over hot coals and marinated with lemon juice.
Blacktip sharks are the most common species landed.
They can easily be identified by the distinctively dark black tip to their fins. Spinner sharks are sometimes confused with the Blacktip, but their fins are grayer and their body is not quiet as streamline.
I've caught many sharks while fishing with Williams through the years and highly recommend a trip for folks that have never caught a truly big, strong fish.
Once Williams reaches the most productive waters, the baits are put out, usually four or five. Some are floated near the surface under balloons and some go straight down with heavy weights. Rods are placed in holders and fishermen usually don't have to wait long for the action to begin. A reel will begin singing when a passing shark picks up one of the baits and line quickly strips off.
Once the rod is winched out of its holder, it's a matter of simply holding on and letting the rod and reel's drag begin the job of slowly tiring the shark.
Sharks don't tire easily.
I've timed the battles and a 50- to 80-pound shark will keep the angler busy for about 15-25 minutes, maybe a bit longer. Fifteen minutes might not seem like a great expanse of time, but when hooked to a hard-pulling shark, it's 15 or 20 minutes of adrenaline pumping, time-suspending sheer excitement.
Williams will instruct you to, "hang on and take up slack when you can."
In the beginning of the fight, there will be no slack given by your shark. Just hold on to the sharply bent rod and watch the shark attempt to strip your reel. You'll circle the perimeter of the boat 10 or 15 times as your shark swims in a circle, 50 or more yards out from the boat. Williams will relax and watch the show; he instinctively knows when to go into action. The shark's runs will get shorter and shorter as it succumbs to the steady pressure applied.
Then, Williams will stand up and say something like, "one more time around the boat and he will be ready to land."
His prediction, tempered by years of experience, is usually on target.
Unless it's a smaller Blacktip you plan to eat, the shark will be pulled up next to the boat for a photo and released.
Make sure and bring along a large ice cooler to keep the fresh shark meat chilled. Shark is excellent when grilled quickly over red hot coals, dashed with dry seasonings and marinated a few hours in lemon juice.
Outdoors Tip of the Week
Lake Lavon crappie guide Billy Kilpatrick says limits of crappie have been coming after a couple hours of fishing.
Live minnows are working best around standing timber and submerged brush piles at 12-15 feet. The bite has been consistent throughout the day, so the only reason to get on the water early is to beat the heat. Thanks to all the fresh water early in the spring, Kilpatrick (214-232-7847) is predicting this to be a banner summer of crappie catching.

When I boot my Sabayon 4.1 it boots just fine, starts kdm with no problem, then crashes to the cli. Not sure why this happens, the only errors that I can see from watching the verbose start up is some network errors that do not pertain to gui. The last change I made before this started happening was using the Nvidia configuration tool to set up my desktop to be 1280x1024 as this option was not listed under configure desktop in control center. I ran the rescue from the install DVD but that did not fix this issue. I am not sure what else to try, I am rather new to linux and don't have any clue what I might have to do. Please help.
Edit: the errors say 'unable to start ppp0e' or something similar. If you need the full error I can get it. Also my hardware is: seagate 320gb SATA II, MSI p965 neo-f mobo, intel core 2 duo e6300, secondary hdd is from my ps3 20gb, lite on dvd drive.
If any other information is needed let me know I will get it for you.
