Day 4, back in November
Week or 2 later
14th December. Post Twist and rip frizz ball!
January. Loopy crazy birds nest :P
OK, these were my dreads at about 4 months old. Just starting to tighten up. At this point I was able to stop separating every day.
Around about May
Yesterday, at 9 months. They are still very very loopy and I am seeing a slowing of progress now. I think they are starting to do some shrinkage as some keep migrating further and further up my face. I love them though. I did get a rather negative comment the other day however from some fool.......
"hows about get fucked my dreads look a shit tun beter than your shitty matty mess.......!"
This coming from someone who has doused em in wax, kept elastic bands in for 10 months, palm rolled, root rubbed, interlocked, folded them in half AND crochet'ed and has spent the entire journey complaining that they look shit/they hate them and want to shave them off, while lamenting their old glorious swathes of shiny long hair.
I lol'd. Because I have had nothing but pleasure from this here journey. It has been effortless and a great lesson in freedom. Doing my hair now consists of washing (if it needs it) and putting it up in some way. I feel a lot more confident in my appearance now I have embraced my hairs natural tendency to be a mess (it never liked styles or straightening, it always rebelled!). I now only have to wash it once a week cos it just doesn't get greasy any more and that means no worries about many lank greasy hair on camping trips and what not. I love them, and I look forward to watching their continued organic, beautiful evolution.
awesome i always loved your dreads so umm whos this guy i wana have a talk with him haha

tru dat!!!!
Well, yet again I have not updated this in quuuiiiiiite a while. I am now, having started my dreads on the 14th Nov 2010, on 18 months. Where has all the time gone???? It is very strange looking back on how much they have changed from their tentative bird nest beginnings. I still love them very much. I have had zero problems with them. There were a couple which decided recently that they would rather be two than one so I split them. They are mostly mature now, but they are still doing a lot of changing. I have a lot of zig zags and loops still to finish doing their thing but I really like the messy look of them. I don't think I would suit really neat ones. I am not a neat and tidy person :P I still maintain they are the best thing I ever did, and since growing them I have felt more like myself than I ever have done. They also mean that on stage I can make of my head a work of art, filled with feathers and what not and they have become somewhat of a stage trademark, with me becoming well known for my feathery locks :) I am currently in the process of buying some dread extensions of funky colours, because I am a big fan of visual detail and want to add more colour... greens and what not to the the whole rustic kind of image. :) I get constant compliments about my hair now which is something that never happened before I grew my dreads.
To you beginner dready people at this point, I would say always persevere and try not to worry about the birds nest/flat locks stages because they really do go away in the end. Neatness, is not a norm to which one should aspire if one wishes to be a dread head :)
they look awesome i miss wearing feathers in my dreads

Since 1971, the BLM has adopted out more than 230,000 wild horses and burros. In recent years, the number of horses and burros being adopted has declined. During the fiscal year that ended Sept. 30, a total of 2,598 of the animals had been placed in private care, compared with 5,701 horses and burros adopted during the 2005 fiscal year.
A sluggish economy, drought and rising feed costs are among reasons for the downturn in adoptions, according to Martha Malik of the BLM's Northeastern States field office in Milwaukee, Wis.
"We're anxious to see how the new adoption location in West Virginia works out for us," she said.
"We've been getting a lot of calls and emails about the adoption event," said Cindy Adkins of the Good Evening Ranch.
"The cost of grain and hay is really high these days," Adkins said, "but I don't think that will keep people from adopting these horses." The wild horses are iconic symbols of the Wild West, she said, "and we still have a lot of diehard cowboys out there who want to work with them."
BLM personnel will begin reviewing applications to adopt the horses at Good Evening Ranch on Friday, and continue on Saturday. For information, call 1-866-4MUSTANGS, visit the BLM's website at www.wildhorseandburro.blm.gov, or call Good Evening Ranch at 1-877-595-5448.
Good Evening Ranch is located at 1458 Groves Road at Canvas, about five miles east of Summersville off W.Va. 39. The last BLM wild horse adoption to take place in West Virginia occurred five years ago.

I agree with your rating. Did you happen to do the same review at www.att.com? I am trying to get people to do the same review on the att site. Because when I called with it getting VERY hot and frying the battery when charging and not hold a charge(3 different phones) I was told that they haven't had any problems like that before.PLEASE.. write a review with att also,if you haven't. We are being sent a 4th phone now because they don't exchange anymore with other phones-cross your fingers.

Commercial Photographer in the North-West
I'm a commercial photographer covering the north-west and beyond. I create photographs of people, places and products that show each subject at its best.
Photography for a Purpose
You need your photographs to work hard for your business. I provide unique, eye catching images that will help you showcase your products or services, tell your story, and engage with your target audience.
Why Hire a Professional Photographer?
Now that anyone can take an instant digital photo or buy a stock image for a few pounds, websites and printed literature are littered with poor quality photos and hackneyed images. When you use these, you send an instant message – justified or not – that you don't care about quality in your business and that your products and services are just like everyone else's.
My clients across the north-west know that my skill as a professional photographer plays a key part in helping them successfully differentiate their business and their products. I bring technical expertise, an artistic eye and wide experience to every project. Work with me, and you get fresh, high quality images that make you stand out from your competitors.
Meeting your Brief – and More
You're always guaranteed the photograph you expected – but I don't stop there. I try different settings, unconventional angles, unusual lighting – anything that will help me create an image that stands out from the crowd. Large corporate shoot or small business portrait session, you always get my best work – because photography is what I do and what makes me tick.
Professional Service
I've built a reputation throughout the north-west as a photographer who provides a genuinely professional service. I always respond to messages, turn up on time, and get the job done within the agreed budget. Your pictures will be delivered in the format you need, ready to use, by the date agreed.
Talk About your Photography Project
I'm always interested in talking through ideas – if you're looking for a photographer in the north-west, please do give me a ring on 01625 612888 or email me enquiries@photographer-north-west I'm also happy to travel further afield.
NW Photography, 132 – 134 Great Ancoats St, Manchester M4 6DE

Above: Promotional image of Bryan Kest's Power Yoga Master Class at La Jolla Yoga Center.
Bryan Kest's Power Yoga Master Class is a well rounded flowing asana practice integrating mental practices that enhance everyday living. The class is intended to invigorate your body and help you practice developing a calm, less reactive state of mind with dynamic flowing routines. In a Power Yoga workshop, you are encouraged to focus on the process and not the end result. This allows ALL levels of yoga practitioners to enjoy and benefit from the workshop.
A Power Yoga Master Class typically includes:
• 1 hour lecture about basic philosophy and fundamentals
• 2 hour physical practice incorporating principles from the lecture
Location: The La Jolla Yoga Center, 7741 Fay Avenue La Jolla, CA 92037 Google Maps
Bryan Kest has been practicing yoga since 1979 and has been teaching since 1985. He developed his unique, distinctive style of yoga, Original Power Yoga, in 1979. Over the years, this style, an amazing workout for the body, mind and spirit, has made him a well-known, popular teacher across the country and around the world.
His mainstream popularity is matched by an authentic foundation in the ancient practice of yoga and a long path of development as a yogi (a practitioner of yoga). At age 15, Bryan uprooted from his native Detroit home to make a life change in Hawaii. He moved to live with his father, a doctor, who understood the benefits of yoga. Like many of us, Bryan originally thought yoga was nothing more than strange contortions, but that changed when his father introduced him to a physical style of yoga called Ashtanga. This appealed to him immediately, and he soon observed great changes in himself, both physically and mentally. Yoga quickly became his passion, one that would take him to India for a year to study with the great yoga masters of the world, Pattabhi Jois. He has been continuing on his yoga path ever since.
Bryan founded and teaches at two studios in Santa Monica, CA. He also teaches at workshops and retreats around the world; provides an intensive teachers training program; and is featured in his own Warner Brothers video series from 1995, as well as a newer video series and audio CD series. His most recent endeavor is www.PowerYogaonDemand.com. This on-line tool features streaming video of Bryan's classes in Santa Monica, which are recorded live and streamed to students around the world. For articles by Bryan and more information about Power Yoga, visit www.PowerYoga.com.

Like I said, I have no good answers. It would be great to hear from someone who has a good way to *truly* strengthen *all* levels of public schooling (I think it has to be public schooling since that's where most kids go -- either by choice or by lack of choice) by working with students' natural developmental abilities and thereby satisfying the colleges. I don't have an answer, and since my world revolves around special needs, I don't anticipate finding the time to look for one.

Adaptive cruise control with Porsche Active Safe (PAS) automatically regulates the speed of your vehicle in line with that of the vehicle in front. In the event of a sudden decrease in distance, the system reduces your speed – even down to a halt. The optional Lane Change Assist (LCA) system monitors the area behind and to the side of the vehicle. At speeds of 30 km/h or more, it alerts the driver to a vehicle in the adjacent lane via a visual signal. If the indicators are activated, LEDs in the exterior mirrors provide a flashing signal, warning the driver of a vehicle in the blind spot.

Olivia Newton-John, Jenny McCarthy on John Travolta's tragic loss
Olivia Newton-John, John Travolta's "Grease" costar and longtime friend, talked about the tragic seizure-related death of his son, Jett Travolta, at the G'day LA gala this weekend.
We asked if she'd had a chance to speak to John.
"I mean, between us, I have [spoken to him]," the singer said. "Obviously, I sent my love. I want to leave him in peace at this time. I think John and Kelly put out the most eloquent statement that I couldn't do any better or add to. They know I send all of my love."
John Travolta is a Qantas ambassador and the airline is a longtime sponsor of the G'day LA gala event. John normally attends the ball, but this year he's grieving for his son and taking the time to heal.
Autism activist Jenny McCarthy's heart also goes out to John Travolta. She told Access Hollywood that the news about Jett's fatal seizure really hit home.
"When I first heard the news about Jett, I slowly kind of sat down ... because my heart went out to them -â you know, such compassion and understanding for what they've gone through," Jenny told Access.
Jenny's 6-year-old son Evan, who has autism, suffers from seizures.
"Last year, Evan had another seizure where he seized for seven hours on and off and we had to put him in a coma for four days so he wouldn't go into cardiac arrest," Jenny revealed. "So looking at Jett, I cried out of fear for my own son, and for, I can't even tell you how many children, with autism."
Though an outspoken autism activist, Jenny doesn't try to diagnose Jett or criticize John.
Keep reading to find out why ...

"I have no idea if Jett had autism," she clarified. "I didn't see, you know, enough footage, or ever meet Jett to give a diagnosis of my own."
But if Jett had, in fact, been diagnosed as autistic, Jenny does not blame his parents for keeping it quiet.
"It's very difficult to go places where everyone sees who you are and then their eyes immediately go to the child 'cause they know what the diagnosis is and they stare at the child," she told Access. "And no one ever wants that feeling, so they tend to keep it quiet. They should have the right to keep whatever they want to themselves, and share what they want with the world."
What do you think about Jenny's position?

what ever the reason for the Travoltas tragic loss, losing a child is just an unimaginable loss. My heart, thoughts and prayers go out to the Travolta family. They seem to be a very private family even possessing the fame Mr. Travolta has aquired over the years.
It's funny, I have always noticed that the dumbest comments come from people who don't have a clue. My motto is walk a mile in my shoes and then give me your opinion.

ABSTRACT: Linear discriminant analysis(LDA) is a traditional dimension reduction method which finds projective directions to maximize separability between classes. However, when the number of labeled data points is small, the performance of LDA is degraded severely. In this paper, we propose two improved methods for LDA which utilizes abundant unlabeled data. Instead of using all the unlabeled data as in most of semi- supervised dimension reduction methods, we select confident unlabeled data and develop extended LDA algorithms. In the first method, a graph-based LDA method is developed to utilize confidence scores for chosen unlabeled data so that unlabeled data with a low confidence score contributes smaller than unlabeled data with a high confidence score. In the second method, selected unlabeled data points are used to modify the centroids of classes in an objective function of LDA. Extensive experimental results in text classification demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed methods compared with other semi-supervised dimension reduction methods.01/2011; -

ABSTRACT: Associative classification has been recently proposed which combines association rule mining and classification, and many studies have shown that associative classifiers give high prediction accuracies compared with other traditional classifiers such as a decision tree. However, in order to apply association rule mining to classification problems, data transformation into the form of transaction data should be preceded before applying association rule mining. In this paper, we propose a discretization method based on Support vector machines, which can improve the performance of association classification greatly. The proposed method finds optimal class boundaries by using SVM, and discretization utilizing distances to the boundaries is performed. Experimental results demonstrate that performing SVM-based discretization for continuous attributes makes associative classification more effective in that it reduces the number of classification rules mined and also improves the prediction accuracies at the same time.Expert Syst.

Conference Proceeding: Dimension reduction using least squares regression in multi-labeled text categorization
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Dimension reduction is a preprocessing step by which small number of optimal features are extracted. Among several statistical dimension reduction methods, Linear discriminant analysis (LDA) performs dimension reduction to maximize class separability in the reduced dimensional space. However, in multi-labeled problems, data samples belonging to multiple classes cause contradiction between the maximization of the distances between classes and the minimization of the scatter within classes, since they are placed in the overlapping area of multiple classes. In this paper, we show that in multi-labeled text categorization, the outputs from multiple linear methods can be used to compose new features for low dimensional representation. Especially, we apply least squares regression and a linear support vector machine (SVM) for multiple binary-class problems constructed from a multi-labeled problem and obtain optimal features in a low dimensional space which are fed into another classification algorithm. Extensive experimental results in text categorization are presented comparing with other dimension reduction methods and multi-label classification algorithms.Computer and Information Technology, 2008.

ABSTRACT: Linear discriminant analysis (LDA) is one of the most popular dimension reduction methods, but it is originally focused on a single-labeled problem. In this paper, we derive the formulation for applying LDA for a multi-labeled problem. We also propose a generalized LDA algorithm which is effective in a high dimensional multi-labeled problem.

Conference Proceeding: An efficient image normalization method for face recognition under varying illuminations.
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: While much progress has been made in face recognition over the last decades, changes in illumination directions still remain as a difficult problem. In this paper, we propose an efficient image normalization method which can overcome illumination effects effectively. The proposed method is based on intensity distribution transformation. However, instead of applying it globally, transformation in intensity distribution is performed for each column independently using one frontal mean face as a reference image. Since it does not require image processing such as image segmentation, the computational complexity is very low and it can circumvent boundary discontinuity caused by region segmentation. Extensive experimental results using Feret database and extended Yale B database demonstrate the competence of the proposed method.Proceedings of the 1st ACM SIGMM International Conference on Multimedia Information Retrieval, MIR 2008, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, October 30-31, 2008; 01/2008 -

ABSTRACT: Linear discriminant analysis (LDA) is a dimension reduction method which finds an optimal linear transformation that maximizes the class separability. However, in undersampled problems where the number of data samples is smaller than the dimension of data space, it is difficult to apply LDA due to the singularity of scatter matrices caused by high dimensionality. In order to make LDA applicable, several generalizations of LDA have been proposed recently. In this paper, we present theoretical and algorithmic relationships among several generalized LDA algorithms and compare their computational complexities and performances in text classification and face recognition. Towards a practical dimension reduction method for high dimensional data, an efficient algorithm is proposed, which reduces the computational complexity greatly while achieving competitive prediction accuracies. We also present nonlinear extensions of these LDA algorithms based on kernel methods. It is shown that a generalized eigenvalue problem can be formulated in the kernel-based feature space, and generalized LDA algorithms are applied to solve the generalized eigenvalue problem, resulting in nonlinear discriminant analysis. Performances of these linear and nonlinear discriminant analysis algorithms are compared extensively.Pattern Recognition. 01/2008; -
Conference Proceeding: On Detecting an Emerging Class
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Most of classifiers implicitly assume that data samples belong to at least one class among predefined classes. How- ever, all data patterns may not be known at the time of data collection or a new pattern can be emerging over time. Hence ideal classifiers need to be able to recognize an emerging pattern. In this paper, we explore the per- formances and limitations of the existing classification sys- tems in detecting a new class. Also a new method is pro- posed that can monitor the change in class distribution and detect an emerging class. It works under the supervised learning model where along with classification an emerg- ing class with new characteristic is detected so that classi- fication model can be adapted systematically. For detection of an emerging class, we design statistical significance test- ing for signaling change of class distribution. When the alarm for new class generation is set on, candidates for new class members are retrieved for close examination by experts. Our experimental results demonstrate competent performances of the proposed method.Granular Computing, 2007. GRC 2007. IEEE International Conference on; 12/2007 -
Conference Proceeding: On Applying Dimension Reduction for Multi-labeled Problems.
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Traditional classification problem assumes that a data sample belongs to one class among the predefined classes. On the other hand, in a multi-labeled problem such as text categorization, data samples can belong to multiple classes and the task is to output a set of class labels associated with new unseen data sample. As common in text categorization problem, learning a classifier in a high dimensional space can be difficult, known as the curse of dimensionality. It has been shown that performing dimension reduction as a preprocessing step can improve classification performances greatly. Especially, Linear discriminant analysis (LDA) is one of the most popular dimension reduction methods, which is optimized for classification tasks. However, in applying LDA for a multi-labeled problem some ambiguities and difficulties can arise. In this paper, we study on applying LDA for a multi-labeled problem and analyze how an objective function of LDA can be interpreted in multi-labeled setting. We also propose a LDA algorithm which is effective in a multi-labeled problem. Experimental results demonstrate that by considering multi-labeled structures LDA can achieve computational efficiency and also improve classification performances greatly.Machine Learning and Data Mining in Pattern Recognition, 5th International Conference, MLDM 2007, Leipzig, Germany, July 18-20, 2007, Proceedings; 01/2007 -
Conference Proceeding: Similarity-Based Sparse Feature Extraction Using Local Manifold Learning.
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Feature extraction is an important preprocessing step which is encountered in many areas such as data mining, pattern recognition and scientific visualization. In this paper, a new method for sparse feature extraction using local manifold learning is proposed. Similarities in a neighborhood are first computed to explore local geometric structures, producing sparse feature representation. Based on the constructed similarity matrix, linear dimension reduction is applied to enhance similarities among the elements in the same class and extract optimal features for classification performances. Since it only computes similarities in a neighborhood, sparsity in the similarity matrix can give computational efficiency and memory savings. Experimental results demonstrate superior performances of the proposed method.Advances in Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining, 10th Pacific-Asia Conference, PAKDD 2006, Singapore, April 9-12, 2006, Proceedings; 01/2006 - [show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) has been widely used for linear dimension reduction. However, LDA has some limitations that one of the scatter matrices is required to be nonsingular and the nonlinearly clustered structure is not easily captured. In order to overcome the problems caused by the singularity of the scatter matrices, a generalization of LDA based on the generalized singular value decomposition (GSVD) has been developed recently. In this paper, we propose a nonlinear discriminant analysis based on the kernel method and the generalized singular value decomposition. The GSVD is applied to solve the generalized eigenvalue problem which is formulated in the feature space defined by a nonlinear mapping through kernel functions. Our GSVD-based kernel discriminant anal- ysis is theoretically compared with other kernel-based nonlinear discriminant analysis algorithms. The experimental results show that our method is an effective nonlinear dimension reduction method.SIAM J. Matrix Analysis Applications. 01/2005; 27:87-102. -

ABSTRACT: In this paper, we present a new approach for fingerprint classification based on discrete Fourier transform (DFT) and nonlinear discriminant analysis. Utilizing the DFT and directional filters, a reliable and efficient directional image is constructed from each fingerprint image, and then nonlinear discriminant analysis is applied to the constructed directional images, reducing the dimension dramatically and extracting the discriminant features. The proposed method explores the capability of DFT and directional filtering in dealing with low-quality images and the effectiveness of nonlinear feature extraction method in fingerprint classification. Experimental results demonstrates competitive performance compared with other published results.Pattern Recognition. 01/2005; - SIAM J. Matrix Analysis Applications. 01/2005; 27:474-492.

ABSTRACT: An optimization criterion is presented for discriminant analysis. The criterion extends the optimization criteria of the classical Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) through the use of the pseudoinverse when the scatter matrices are singular. It is applicable regardless of the relative sizes of the data dimension and sample size, overcoming a limitation of classical LDA. The optimization problem can be solved analytically by applying the Generalized Singular Value Decomposition (GSVD) technique. The pseudoinverse has been suggested and used for undersampled problems in the past, where the data dimension exceeds the number of data points. The criterion proposed in this paper provides a theoretical justification for this procedure. An approximation algorithm for the GSVD-based approach is also presented. It reduces the computational complexity by finding subclusters of each cluster and uses their centroids to capture the structure of each cluster. This reduced problem yields much smaller matrices to which the GSVD can be applied efficiently. Experiments on text data, with up to 7,000 dimensions, show that the approximation algorithm produces results that are close to those produced by the exact algorithm.IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence 09/2004; 26(8):982-94. · 4.80 Impact Factor - [show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A nonlinear feature extraction method is presented which can reduce the data dimension down to the number of clusters, providing dramatic savings in computational costs. The dimension reducing nonlin- ear transformation is obtained by implicitly mapping the input data into a feature space using a kernel function, and then finding a linear mapping based on an orthonormal basis of centroids in the feature space that maximally separates the between-cluster relationship. The experimental results demonstrate that our method is capable of extracting nonlinear features effectively so that competitive performance of classification can be obtained with linear classifiers in the dimension reduced space.Pattern Recognition. 01/2004; 37:801-810.

Holding schools accountable for student and teacher performance has been a major social priority since A Nation at Risk (1984) was published. In spite of a quarter of a century of school reform, and passage of major pieces of legislation such as No Child Left Behind (2002), many students continue to be under served by the public school system (Planty et al., 2009). Standardized test scores of Hispanic students indicate that, as a group, this population is the most under served population in the United States (Chronicle of Higher Education, 2003). For example, the high school graduation rate is only 24.7% among first generation Hispanics who are born in this country. Among successive generations of Hispanics the graduation rate is only 39.2% for the second generation, 58.5% for the third generation, and 49.4% for the fourth generation (Huntington, 2004). These statistics indicate that the problems confronted by Hispanic students are not caused merely by recent immigration. Representing roughly 15% of the population, Hispanics are the largest and fastest growing ethnic minority in the United States (U. S. Census Bureau, 2006). Hispanic students will comprise roughly 50% of the baby boom echo expected in the next decade (Roach, 2001). Thus, given the need for a minimum of a high school education to obtain gainful employment, the low high school graduation rates of Hispanic students, along with the low high school graduation rates of African American students, constitute a major social problem in the United States (Cohen, 1998; Dempsey, 2005).
As part of school reform efforts, many schools have developed and/or rewritten mission statements to guide policy development, procedures, and the daily activities of school personnel (Bafile, 2005a, 2005b, 2006). Mission statements are viewed as important to school reform efforts because, according to organizational theory, mission statements have a profound effect on the health of organizations. Properly written mission statements act as a compass to keep the organization on course and help it adapt to change (Malott, 2003). When written properly, a mission statement can direct the energies of all stakeholders toward the success of the school (Foley, 1994; Malott, 2003).
A well-written mission statement is a clear, concise articulation of the central purposes and goals of a school that expresses the school's uniqueness (Foley, 1994; Malott, 2003). Once written, we contend that mission statements need to be adjusted over time in response to changes in the educational environment of the school. One question, not examined in this study, that needs to be addressed in the literature is the extent to which the mission statement is actually followed.
Kuh, Kinzie, Schuh, Whitt, and Associates (2005) documented that colleges and universities with effective educational programs were mission driven with clearly stated, living missions. Slate, Jones, Weisman, Alexander, and Saenz (2008) recently reported the presence of consistent differences between the mission statements of high performing and low performing elementary schools. Mission statements of high performing schools were more likely to include themes related to academic success and challenge, citizenship, empowerment, partnership, and social development than were the mission statements of low performing schools. Similar results were reported in a very recent publication by Craft, Slate, and Bustamante (2009).
Purpose of the Study
The purposes in conducting this study were threefold: (a) To extend the research on school mission statements previously conducted at the elementary school level (Slate et al., 2008) and at the college levels (Wang, Gibson, Solis, Selinas, & Slate, 2007) to the high school level; (b) To begin exploration of the ways in which school mission statements differ as a function of the demographic composition (e.g., student characteristics) of the schools; and (c) To identify differences between the mission statements of predominantly Hispanic schools and predominantly White schools to determine whether differences in academic achievement might be related to differences in espoused missions. To accomplish these purposes, we examined the mission statements of large Texas high schools that were comprised of either predominantly Hispanic students or predominantly White students using a multi-stage mixed analysis. This analysis allowed us to describe the characteristic themes in the school mission statements and identify similarities and dissimilarities related to student body composition. A single state was analyzed to prevent confounding by geographical variables. Texas was selected in particular because its sizable Hispanic population allowed identification of a sufficient number of high schools predominantly comprised of Hispanic students for analysis.
Research Questions
The following research questions were addressed: (a) What are the themes that can be identified in the mission statements of high schools comprised of predominantly Hispanic students and in the mission statements of high schools comprised of predominantly White students? and (b) What are the similarities and dissimilarities in the mission statement themes of high schools comprised of predominantly Hispanic students and in the mission statement themes of high schools comprised of predominantly White students??

Rains sophomore Charlotte Brown, who is to receive a special award at the University Interscholastic League state track and field championships, made a strong bid on Friday to also make it to Austin as a competitor.
Brown, who'll be the 2013 Section 6 recipient of the National High School Spirit of Sport Award on May 11, took third place in the Region II-3A pole vault at Texas A&M University-Commerce. Brown matched her career-best by clearing 11 feet 6 inches. Brown cleared the same height as two vaulters from Longview Spring Hill, Casey Rice and Lindsey Sechrist, but they were awarded first and second places on the basis of fewer misses.
The top two finishers automatically qualify for the Class 3A state championships at Mike A. Myers Stadium in Austin but Brown still could get in as a "wild card." The ninth best mark among the eight qualifiers from the four regions in the state earns the "wild card" berth.
"I equaled my personal best," said Brown. "That was a plus. I think I have a possible chance of getting in as a wild card."
On three of her misses Brown cleared the height but her pole knocked the bar over. At the judge's discretion the vault can still count if the vaulter makes a sincere effort to push the pole away before the wind blows the pole into the bar. Had those three misses not counted she would have finished higher in the final standings.
"It's a wind rule," said Brown. "I do believe I made an attempt to throw it back. I respect the judge's call. He's been doing it for a while."
Brown had a busy day on Friday at Memorial Stadium. She qualified for today's 100-meter dash finals with the sixth-fastest time in the preliminaries at 12.76 seconds. Chassity Love of Frisco Lone Star led with a 12.16.

Anti-Slavery International has launched a campaign on Twitter to highlight use of child labour by some chocolate manufacturers.
The Choco-coat campaign, created by Lean Mean Fighting Machine, takes a rude or controversial tweet and 'sugar coats' it as a nice sentence. Users can then forward this to friends, who can click to reveal the original message.
The charity hopes the light-hearted campaign will raise awareness of child slavery in the chocolate and cocoa trade by highlighting the difference between the official statements given by chocolate manufacturers over Easter and the reality.
Anti-Slavery International's director Dr Aidan McQuade said, "We want to spotlight the plight of the thousands of children forced to work to produce the raw ingredients of the easter eggs we'll soon be enjoying at home. It's unacceptable that cocoa traders aren't doing more to ensure they're not buying cocoa harvested by children trafficked into slavery. The campaign is a bit of fun but it raises serious issues and, we hope, will spread the word and perhaps force the cocoa traders to take long-overdue action."

I wore this in VINTAGE (darkest color of the collection: a flattering berry/brown color) today :)
This reminded me of the CLINIQUE CHUBBY STICK, and I have to say, Im really impressed by this product! Im really happy I gave this a try.
-SOOOO MOISTURIZING! The moisture is incredible , its very creamy. I even think its CREAMIER than the chubby sticks! :O
-Very good pigmentation
-Lasts long
-Good price
-Convenient packaging: the crayon gives precision.
I really really love this product, and I will surely purchase more colors!
Everyone, GIVE THIS A TRY!:D
Wow, I am impressed. I have the colour "Mauveous" and its shiny, super light weight on lips but pigmented, a rosy pink hue. On me, NC20, the color just adds a brightness to my face that was missing with all the trendy nudes. Definitely buying more and at this price, ( 4.99) its amazing value as well as a DS gem. Love the pencil format too, it works as liner and lipstick together.
chic (peach)
cupcake (bubble gum pink)
orange you sweet (orange pink)
pout (hot pink)
- creamy
- pigmented
- only sold at Walmart
COMMENTS: Love these! Very creamy and a little moisturizing. They're very pigmented, but only stain a little. I don't mind, though. Colors are pretty and they're comfortable to wear.
Will repurchase.
More reviews by Obsessedwithcosmetics
I bought my first all glossed up in love bite and I love how it is a lip stain, gloss and balm all in one. It isn't sticky at all, much like their glosses. And it is extremely hydrating, glossy and non-silicone based, which is great. The price has gone up over time, but it's still a great buy and does not dry out your lips like the Revlon kissables (but the Revlon colors are more faithful to their packaging). The pigmentation, however, is different on everyone, and there are a few tints which look alike when put onto the lips. Love bite looks very much like a vivid pink on mine, whereas the packaging looks purple. I was a little disappointed by this. As for the packaging, I like it, but they could prevent using that much plastic to help the environment.
Overall though, the texture and the hydration is great. I would recommend looking up swatches of colors on actual lips before buying.
I bought one of these lip glosses in Chic because it looked like a nude pinky brown in the tube. When I got home and put it on, it was more of a bubblegum pink. I decided to get another one in the colour Vintage, because it looked like a dark reddish brown in the tube. Vintage is a sort of dark mauve colour when you put it on, and after a couple of hours, it turns into a bright pink colour.
I would say that the stain part of the name is right, but the colour really only stays around the edges of your lips, and it stays as a bright pink. It is somewhat hydrating for a little while, but after about an hour, my lips felt dried out. These could be good if you're looking for a bright pink colour, (it seems like no matter what it looks like in the tube, it looks bright pink when you put it on) and if you have a good lip balm to wear underneath it.
A few people mentioned the smell - to me, they smell like crayons, but the smell fades a few minutes after you put it on.
I honestly don't see myself ever wearing these, since they look so bright pink when you put them on, despite the colour they look in the tube.
Great price, nice packaging, great colors, I have muavulous and its great, more pinky than muave but I highly recomend it
This is a pretty good product. I own Mauvelous and I love the color. The one thing I do not like at all is the scent of these lip stains. Its too over powering. I usually just ignore the scents of lip products but this particular one really gets to me. It has a plastic-y scent, hard to describe.. I would not recommend it to people who do not like scented lip products.
This is the very first lipstain I have found that the color you see is the color you get. All other brands I have tried are too intense or dark--not at all like the color advertised. Also, I love the creamy texture. With other lipstains, you have to add gloss every little while or your lips get SOOO dry. I have read a few reviews on other sites of people complaining this this is neither quick nor easy to apply. I beg to differ. I carry one in my purse at all times to use after I have eaten or drank something. I put it on with a lip brush at home to get that perfect shape, and the stain keeps that shape, I just have to reapply to re-moisturize. If someone is too lazy to take the time to put it on right, they need to stick with clear gloss! Another great thing--the cost. This is the most economical lipstain I have found. I bought every color except for just the darkest, as I have very fair skin. $5 is a VERY small price to pay. This is one SUPER product! I will buy every color again as I use them up!
These are decent lip stains. I like that they add moisture to your lips, and the chubby pencil style is cute. The moisture didn't stick around too long, but my lips didn't feel dry. The stain stayed around for a little longer than your average creamy lipstick, but nothing great.
The main thing that I didn't like is that the lip stains are not true to color on the package AT ALL. I purchased the color that looked very purple in the package (and the pencil was purple on the outside as well). I got it home and applied it - it's a bright, almost hot pink color.
The next time that I was at the store, I was interested in the wine colored pencil. This time I opened the package and smudged a bit on my wrist (yes, I know I'm not supposed to do that). And the wine color was a bright pink also!
My advice is to try to test the color out before you buy it.
I have been searching for the perfect peachy nude lip color for the past few years since MAC discontinued my HG color...I finally found it in this Hard Candy All Glossed Up lip stain in the color Chic! Not only do I adore the color, I like the high shine gloss and the very lasting staining effect. I bought a backup of it, and I think that I am going to buy a few more backups just in case!!

Abstract emotion
Abstract paintings of Inge Strack (pictured) are on display through March 9 at the Gumenick Family Gallery at The Cultural Arts Center at Glen Allen. Strack, a Chestefield painter of German origin, often paints in bold colors with a deep sense of emotion, focusing on brushstrokes, texture and form to find a balance. Strack's painting is routed in the European tradition of expressionism but has found its own, unique language in following the American dream.
"I am not attempting to abstract the physical world," she said. "I draw my subject matter from inside of myself hoping to create a constant conversation between the viewer and the painting, especially since abstracts do not seem to answer but ask." > Read more.

Claire Danes is deep in the trenches of Homeland filming, with three more episodes of season 3 to shoot, and while it's not clear exactly what Carrie and Co. at the CIA are up to this year, it's safe to say it's going to be intense.
In addition, Danes is currently prepping for the Emmy Awards, where she's up for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama (she won last year). But she still found time to shoot an Emmy-themed ad for Audi, which will premiere during the telecast (the exclusive photo above is from the ad shoot — puppies!). "It's really kind of goofy and playful," Danes told EW about the Audi ad. "I've been doing Homeland for three years now and it's pretty intense," she laughed. "The stakes are preposterously, ridiculously high. So I was looking forward to just goofing off for a few days and having some fun."
And fun is not really a word anyone would use to describe Carrie Mathison — regardless of what the future holds. Danes may be close to the end of season 3, but that doesn't mean she has any clue where her storyline is headed next. "I don't even bother to fantasize about what it's going to be or cultivate a hope for what Carrie might be in the coming season because I know I'm going to be so overwhelmed by [the writers'] infinitely better ideas [laughs]."
While Danes might not yet have a season 4 plan, EW did get her to tease some season 3 intel (bad for a CIA agent, great for TV viewers!) about the latest in Carrie and Brody's relationship, why Saul and Carrie may be on the outs, and the moment she's most proud of from season 2 of Showtime's drama.
