In the 2010–11 school year, Oregon had 197 public school districts, which administered a total of 1,296 public schools. These schools enrolled a total of 561,328 K–12 students. 28,109 (full time equivalent) teachers worked in Oregon's public schools for a student to teacher ratio of 20.3 to 1 (2010 national average: 16 to 1). Student demographics show a minority enrollment of 33.7 percent (2010 national average: 47.6 percent).
Students who qualified for free and reduced-price lunch made up 50.7 percent of all students in 2010–2011 (2010–11 national average: 48 percent). Special education students made up 14.2 percent of the total in 2010–2011 (2010–11 national average: 13 percent). In 2009–10, there were 61,625 students in English language learning programs. This number is 11 percent of the total student population (2009–10 national average: 9.7 percent).
The state's budget for K–12 education in fiscal year 2009 was $6.1 billion of which the federal government provided $671 million (revenues).
Education in Oregon
Never has education been more important to the lives and fortunes of Oregonians and our communities. Yet, Oregon is falling behind. In most other states – and countries – the younger generation of adults is more educated than their elders. In Oregon, adults aged 25–34 are less educated than their parents' generation, with fewer earning certificates or degrees beyond high school. Almost a third of Oregon students are failing to graduate with a regular diploma after four or even five years in high school.
The state — through legislation passed in 2011 and 2012 — has embarked on the most significant education reform in 20 years, reshaping governance, priorities and budgeting all with a strong focus on investing in better educational outcomes for Oregon's students.
Ambitious Goals
The 2011 Oregon Legislature passed Senate Bill 253, which established the most aggressive high school and college completion goals of any state in the country: By 2025, we must ensure that 40 percent of adult Oregonians have earned a bachelor's degree or higher, that 40 percent have earned an associate's degree or post-secondary credential, and that the remaining 20 percent or less have earned a high school diploma or its equivalent. Those targets form Oregon's "40/40/20" goal.
Key Strategies
Oregon's education reform plan is founded on three key strategies:
1. Creating a coordinated public education system, from preschool through college and career readiness, to enable all Oregon students to learn at their best pace and achieve their full potential. At the state level, this will require better integration of education agencies' capacities and smarter use of resources to encourage and support successful teaching and learning across the education continuum.
2. Focusing state investment on achieving student outcomes. The Oregon Education Investment Board has defined core educational outcomes that matter for students, their families, and the state at key stages in a student's learning. For example: Are entering kindergarten students ready for school? Are they reading at grade level by third grade? How many students graduate from high school, and how many earn college credits before graduation? Do they go on to college and further training? How many earn their college degrees?
Under 2012's Senate Bill 1581, the Oregon Education Investment Board is entering into achievement compacts with every K–12 school district, education service district, community college, the university system and public universities, and Oregon Health Sciences University. These two-way partnership agreements challenge educators across Oregon to set targets on key student outcomes and encourage broad collaboration to adopt transformational practices, policies and budgets (at the state and local level) to help Oregon students achieve the educational outcomes.
3. Build statewide support systems. The state will continue to set standards, provide guidance, and conduct assessments, coordinated along the education pathway. To enhance these efforts, 2011's Senate Bill 909 commits the state to build a longitudinal data system—tracking important data on student progress and returns on statewide investments from preschool through college and into careers. These data will help guide investment decisions and spotlight programs that are working or failing. Beyond data systems, the state will expand on the successful local model of professional
learning communities to increase support for collaboration among schools and teachers.
Education Funding
Oregon has struggled with funding public education since Measure 5 passed in 1990. The property tax limitations enacted under Measure 5 and the later Measures 47 and 50 shifted the primary burden of paying for K–12 education from local property tax payers to the state General Fund. That shift led the Legislature in 1991 to establish a school funding equalization formula. That funding formula, largely based on student enrollment numbers and student demographics, determines how much money each school district will get from the State School Fund to fill the gap between the district's local revenue and its equalization target under the formula.
In the 1990s, as Measure 5 phased in, more of the state General Fund went to pay for education. However, in recent years, funding for education – K–12 and post-secondary – has been squeezed, both as the result of general budget cuts during the recession and also as the costs of corrections and social services grow.
In 1999, legislation passed allowing local school districts' voters to approve additional "local option" property tax levies for up to five years of operational funding to supplement the State School Fund appropriation.
Starting in 2000, voters have passed these temporary school funding levies in 26 different school districts – ranging in size from tiny Camas Valley, with 124 students, to Portland Public Schools, the state's largest at 47,000 students. This has helped those districts maintain their programs, but also has limited the ability of the state to equalize funding among districts.
Overall, under the state's current revenue system and the economic recession, education at all levels is widely recognized to be underfunded:
• Early learning: The state has expanded the Oregon pre-kindergarten program to serve thousands more children, complementing the federal Head Start program. Even so, those programs reach only a small share of the young children who need support to be ready for kindergarten.
• K–12 schools: State support for K–12 schools has fluctuated over the years, but in general has not kept pace with inflation. As school districts face increased costs – particularly for their employees' health care and retirement – and real reductions in actual dollars available, most Oregon districts have resorted to cost-cutting measures. Those have included strategies such as increasing class sizes, cutting administrative and teaching staff, pay freezes, consolidating small schools and cutting days from the school calendar.
• Post-secondary: Oregon's community colleges and public universities have faced dwindling state funding. While they have cut costs, limited employee compensation, and served record numbers of students in recent years, students have taken on more and more of the share of college costs through increased tuition as a result of the state's funding challenges. For example, in 1989–90, student tuition and fees covered 29 percent of the costs of instruction in Oregon's public universities, and the state paid 62 percent of the costs, with the remaining from other funds. Twenty years later, in 2009–10, those numbers had essentially reversed, with tuition and fees paying close to 63 percent of the costs and state support covering less than a third (29 percent).
Early Childhood Education
2011 Senate Bill 909 created the Early Learning Council, appointed by the Governor, to coordinate, streamline and improve early childhood services. It replaces more than two dozen programs in six different state agencies providing early childhood services.
In 2012, the Legislature passed House Bill 4165, to:
• Streamline administration, policy, and planning of the state's early childhood services,
• Promote collaboration, competition, and local creativity based on meaningful outcomes for children,
• Preserve Head Start as well as early intervention/early childhood education for special needs students,
• Improve screening and assessment so that children receive support in order to thrive in kindergarten,
• Provide incentives for child care quality and a rating system to give parents useful information when choosing care.
A new statewide kindergarten readiness assessment will help answer critical questions: When Oregon children enter kindergarten, are they ready to learn? How can the state direct its investment in early childhood services – whether prekindergarten, health care, child care or early intervention – to help more at-risk children start school with the skills and support they need to succeed? The Oregon Early Learning Council will select one assessment to test in up to 15 pilot schools across Oregon in the fall of 2012. In 2013, every kindergarten classroom will use the assessment.
The federal government has recognized Oregon's work in early learning, inviting Oregon to join four other states in applying for a second round of its Race to the Top Early Learning Challenge Grant, to be awarded in the fall of 2012.
K–12 Schools
At the state level, the State Board of Education sets policy for K–12 schools. The Department of Education implements educational policies and helps districts comply with the appropriate state and federal regulations.
Significant reforms underway include:
• Rigorous state standards. The State Board of Education in 2010 adopted the Common Core State Standards — rigorous, national learning expectations aligned with international standards. These common standards will prepare Oregon students to compete, not just here, but nationally and internationally as well. Oregon is one of more than 45 states to adopt these standards and will phase them into classroom instruction over several years. Oregon is in the forefront in the development of national assessments designed to test students on these new standards.
• Higher expectations for achievement. The State Board of Education has adopted more rigorous math achievement standards (in effect in 2010–11), and, reading and science achievement standards (in effect 2011–12). These higher state achievement standards will better prepare students to meet Oregon's graduation requirements and will help pave the way for the higher expectations of the Common Core.
• New diploma requirements. Oregon schools continue to work toward full implementation of the Oregon Diploma and the Essential Skills requirements that will ensure all graduates leave high school college- and work-ready. The graduates of 2012 were the first required to demonstrate proficiency in reading. The Oregon Department of Education helps students and schools prepare, by providing tools including the Oregon K–12 Literacy Framework and the Assessment of Essential Skills Tool Kit. Graduates in future years will be asked to demonstrate additional skills: writing in 2013 and math in 2014.
• Full-day kindergarten. Oregon's state funding formula only pays for a half-day of kindergarten for students. But many districts have decided to offer full-day kindergarten, particularly for disadvantaged students. They generally pay for these programs by shifting funding from other grades, using federal Title I anti-poverty dollars, or by charging parents a fee to cover half the day. 2011 Senate Bill 248 determined that the state should cover the costs of full-day kindergarten starting in 2015. That will bring greater opportunity for Oregon's youngest students and put an end to the inequity the patchwork of funding solutions has brought.
• Federal flexibility in accountability system. Oregon plans to apply for a waiver from certain provisions of the Elementary and Secondary Education (ESEA)/No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act. The ESEA Flexibility Waiver offers an opportunity to obtain relief from the rigid Adequate Yearly Progress targets and one-size-fits-all sanctions that NCLB mandated. Oregon's waiver proposal includes measures that are consistent with (though more detailed than) the K–12 achievement compacts, and a state system of support and interventions aimed at improving student achievement.
The waiver also provides an opportunity to align the state's system of accountability. The 2011 Legislature appointed a Joint Task Force on Accountable Schools (House Bill 2289) to examine Oregon's school and district report cards, the state's primary tool to communicate student achievement and other information to students, families, and the broader school community. The task force and governor's office are coordinating efforts to ensure that the achievement compacts, accountability system, and state report cards are consistent, aligned, and mutually reinforcing.
State Board of Education
The State Board of Education, with seven members appointed to four-year terms by the governor, is charged with establishing policy for the administration and operation of the public elementary and secondary schools and the public community colleges in Oregon.
Board members are Artemio Paz, Jr., Chair (term ends 2013); Samuel Henry, Vice Chair (2016); Angela Bowen (2016); Gerald Hamilton (2016); Serilda Summers-McGee (2015) and Duncan Wyse (2012). One position is vacant.
The State Board of Education adopted new graduation requirements that will require students to take more rigorous levels of mathematics and science. Additionally, all students must demonstrate proficiency in the Essential Skills beginning with reading in 2012, writing in 2013 and math in 2014. Students are given multiple opportunities and assessment options to demonstrate Essential Skills proficiency. Assessment options include:
The state will monitor the numbers of students meeting the Essential Skills requirements through local assessments. Accommodations will be provided to students with disabilities.
Students may also earn credit toward graduation on the basis of demonstrated proficiency rather than on attendance only. Proficiency-based credit must be aligned to rigorous standards for student achievement.

The ODE Web site is www.ode.state.or.us. Much information about public education in Oregon may be found there.
The National Center for Educational Statistics (NCES), www.nces.ed.gov, a program of the U.S. Department of Education, collects data from states and provides analytical tools for users. NCES allows users to view data in graphic representation as well and provides the means to assess how well other states are doing in the same areas.
SchoolMatters, www.schoolmatters.com, a service of Standard and Poor's, relies on much the same data collected by NCES and again provides the ability to compare districts within a state or different states. Both sites should be used with caution, since data is notoriously difficult to compare accurately. However, they do provide the means to get a sense of how Oregon school children and Oregon school districts are performing and how Oregon compares with other states.

H.S. stars envision fights next season at Kentucky

08:23 AM ET 04.04 | Coming off a disappointing 2012-13, John Calipari will no doubt be watching over a different environment in 2013-14. Based on what Calipari's six McDonald's All-Americans have been saying this week, the UK coach will have his hands full during next season's practices, which are already being billed as knock-down, drag-out auditions for playing time among a young bunch of highly motivated players with through-the-roof expectations. "With people that hate losing, there's bound to be fights," said forward Marcus Lee. "The big men and the guards -- we just go at it so hard. Especially during practice. I wouldn't doubt that there would be fights." Just to be clear: Lee is predicting actual, physical fights. And he's not alone.
I would think that this article will be well-received by Calipari. These incoming freshmen seem motivated and eager to push themselves and their teammates to get better. It's the coach's job to channel that motivation into the players adopting the team concept (and the players who do that first will be the players who play the most). I expect Kentucky to be pretty darn solid next year.
Not enough $$ to go around? THAT will lead to fights at UK
One and done U. No way I would want to go there if I were an undecided top tier recruit. I'd want to play. Even if it is for just one year.
Are there enough dunk and alley oop opportunities to keep 6 MacDonald's All Americans happy? And exactly who will play defense? It won't be any of those 6.
NIT ........2 years in a row.......you heard it here first.
Are there enough dunk and alley oop opportunities to keep 6 MacDonald's All Americans happy? And exactly who will play defense? It won't be any of those 6.
Defense???? They won't need no stinking defense....they'll out-score everyone
Sounds like continued sour grapes by some folks...the whole crew next year could have black eyes, bruises all over--play with their off hand and still would make the sweet 16...everyone knew they were going no where this year--even Cal. A few ESPN writers hyped them at the start--but this was by far his weakest recruiting class. Wiggins will go to UK because he knows wherever he goes he will play--might not be good news for a couple of the others--but, for the first time they will be 10 deep--pressing, running, mistakes and lots of excitement...not to mention dunks and WINS!!!!

Kentucky State Police arrested a Grayson County man Tuesday after a Breckinridge County grand jury indicted him on 14 sex-related charges stemming from contact with children.
William T. Lainhart, 51, of Falls of Rough was arrested at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday following an indictment returned the previous day, according to a news release from Post 4.
Lainhart faces four counts of second-degree rape, four counts of first-degree sodomy, five counts of second-degree sodomy and one count of first-degree sexual abuse, police said.
According to the release, the charges stem from incidents that occurred in 2005 and involved two children, both of whom were younger than 15 at the time of the alleged offenses.
Lainhart is lodged at Grayson County Detention Center in lieu of a $50,000 cash bond.
According to Kentucky Revised Statutes, first-degree sodomy is a Class B felony punishable by 10 to 20 years in prison if convicted. The remaining charges are Class C felonies.
An indictment is an allegation, not proof of guilt. The defendant is innocent until proven guilty.

15 Questions from the Community
Will this mount OK on a vaulted ceiling?
Would 4 of these lights be sufficient to light a 12-foot counter space in a kitchen?
What size is the fitter on this model?
What is the diameter of the globe?
Can this hang from a slanted ceiling?
How long is the pendant? Is an extension available? Do each of the 9.5" stems comprise the pendent?
so if needed you can use only one or two of the 9.5" stems to shorten the light fixture?
Can I use this light on a vaulted ceiling
What is the shortest length this fixture can be adjusted to (ceiling to bottom of fixture)?
What would the total length be if we used just one of the 9.5" stems?
Can this fixture be used in a shower with a 10 foot ceiling? The fixture will not come in contact with water. However, there will be humidity.
Can these come in white frosted glass? (not cream like shown?)...
Would these work in a vintage commercial buliding with high ceilings?
Can we use 2 stems to make the total length 31.5"?
What is the width of the canopy? Thank you

Sony pumps up the bass
Music with a bangin' bass is important, or so Register Hardware's intern said. Sony obviously knows this too, because it's launched a series of eXtra Bass (XB) headphones. Sony_XB700_01 Sony's eXtra Bass cans boast bangin' bass beats The cans are designed to accurately reproduce ultra-low frequencies without compromising …
Children have no base for opinion.
"Music with a bangin' bass is important, or so Register Hardware's intern said."
Said intern probably also yearns for a car with an exhaust note that is guaranteed to produce headaches after 45 minutes of expressway travel. If said intern could afford the petrol for 45 minutes of travel, that is.
Interns in general shouldn't open their yaps until they catch a bad case of clues ...

Arizona Sands RV Park (55+ Park)

This is a nice small park. It was clean, there was new bathrooms and a new laundry room. The Wi-Fi cost $5.00/day, a bit pricey, we did not use it. We would stay here again.

Campbell Cove RV Resort
[ 3/10 ]
This park is by far not a resort. It is more like a parking lot, very, very tight spaces. Most people I talked with said they could not get their slides out. We don't have slides, but when we put our awning out and the next person put theirs out they were touching. The only row with a water view was a pull in, the rest of the park is a nose to back parking arrangement. There is no view anywhere other than that one row. You need to go sit on a picnic bench to see any view. There is a dog kennel that only works for small dogs, 3'x10'. We have large dogs and they could not even try to run in it. Also the pails for the dog excrement are not emptied every day. The manager needs training in customer service and hospitality. I waited at least 3 minutes without being acknowledged. There are many other parks in this city, I recommend trying one of them over this place.

About Automotive
The hunt for cheap gas is on. Gas stations can never lower gas prices fast enough to keep consumers happy, but these days it seems as if the price of gas is not dropping at the same speed as employment. With the unemployment rate at the highest it has been since the Great Depression, consumers expect prices to be dropping as well. Unfortunately the cost of desired goods is not matching American incomes. Gasoline is a desired good that can never be cheap enough. Americans commute a lot and that requires a hefty amount of gasoline. Since America imports most of our oil, the U.S. government does not completely control the cost and therefore price of gasoline. Currently, gasoline is priced around $3 a gallon. Gas stations price gasoline based on their competitors. Big brand gas stations will always charge more. Mobil is commonly the most expensive place to pump gas; it is not uncommon to find their prices above all other stations in your area. Another expensive place to pump gas is 76 gas station. They also typically have higher prices. Next in line is Shell gas station. Usually Shell provides cheaper gas than the previous two companies, but their prices are still higher than gas stations like Thrifty or Costco. The price of gas also depends on how competitive a gas station owner is willing to be. If they get around the same amount of customers as the gas station nearest them, chances are they will not feel the pressure to lower their prices. Their prices might vary by a cent or two. However, if a gas station owner is seeing a lower volume of sales he might lower is prices to stay competitive and increase revenue.

More on Gas Stations
The best places to pump might not be in your area. If you live in a nice residential neighborhood or an expensive neighborhood like Malibu or Beverly Hills, chances are gas stations will be charging higher prices. If you travel a little out of the way to a neighborhood outside of your own you might find cheaper prices. Another good idea to save money on gasoline is to avoid pumping at the last minute. When you see you that the gas tank level is low, start investigating the gas stations around your area for the lowest prices. If you are planning a trip to the beach, pump before you go. Beach neighborhoods do not typically have a lot of gas stations and owners will charge you more as a result. Gas station owners also realize that most beach goers have traveled a long way and will need gas in order to make the trip home, this also results in higher prices. The same is true if you are taking a camping trip, visit to the lake or spending the day at a theme park. It is always a good idea to plan ahead to avoid pricey gas stations. Never plan on filling up at or near an airport. Gas stations owners are well aware that people need to fill up rental car tanks before returning them to airport rental car companies. Do not let your car run out of gas either. Paying AAA or other emergency assistance companies for gas can be pricey. The key to finding cheap gas is to plan ahead and investigate different gas stations in your area.

Sequim eyes increased Open Aire Market fees
Published on Wed, Oct 22, 2008 by
Brian Gawley

After hearing from supporters and board members of the Sequim Open Aire Market, the Sequim City Council decided last week to hold off increasing fees for the venture and charging it for a business license.
Capital projects manager Frank Needham said the proposal was to charge the Sequim Open Aire Market $4 per vendor per weekend plus $758 street rent, up from the current $260, but they haven't solved the business license question.
City attorney Craig Ritchie said there are some specific statutes regarding the public aspects of farmers markets that allows them to be exempted from business license requirements.
City Councilor Bill Huizinga said there were lengthy discussions in 2006 regarding business licenses for farmers markets and events such as the Sequim Irrigation Festival and Sequim Lavender Festival.
Ritchie said business licenses are a revenue source, not a regulatory mechanism, but they must be uniform.
Manager Mark Ozias said the Open Aire Market addresses 14 goals contained in seven chapters of the city's comprehensive plan, so it has a "broad and deep public benefit." So he is surprised that the Open Aire Market's street rent is being tripled. Vendors pay the market a flat $50 fee and a percentage of the street rent, Ozias said. The amounts sound small but that could equal a 20- to 40-percent cost increase for some vendors, he said.
"It's clearly a move in the wrong direction," Ozias said, adding every city except Seattle reduces fees for farmers markets.
"It is a punitive increase that is broader than the benefit. So reduce or eliminate the fees," he said.
City Councilor Paul McHugh asked if meeting 14 goals in the comprehensive plan was enough to warrant fee exemptions.
"It's your decision," Ritchie said.
The council just has to set forth the justification for exempting the farmers market from fees and then see if it meets that criteria, such as having 20-percent farmers, he said. It's not the same as the Lavender and Irrigation festivals, Ritchie said, proposing perhaps they could charge a group business license fee.
Ozias said the Open Aire Market is happy to continue paying fees and is OK with paying more but tripling the street rent seems unnecessary.
"I understand there's a potential fairness issue but the whole is greater than the sum of its parts," he said.
Open Aire Market vendors pay a membership fee plus rent based upon sales, Ozias said. The Sequim Open Aire Market generates $250,000 in sales tax revenue annually.
Huizinga said the proposed fee increases seemed like kind of a knee-jerk reaction to a tight budget.
McHugh said only a few businesses are paying the business license fee and so it seems as though they are aiming for "the slow-moving targets" to pay it.
It's also a question of fairness, he said.
City Councilor Ken Hays said fairness is an important issue so maybe more research on what other cities are doing is needed. The Sequim Open Aire Market is a complex mix of vendors so they should check other cities, he said.
Needham said events such as the doll show at the Guy Cole Convention Center get a temporary event permit.
"We have an affinity for the farmers market," City Councilor Erik Erichsen said.
Market board of directors president Carol Smith said most vendors are retired or on disability or Social Security. Most cities waive business license fees for farmers markets and provide cheap rent, she said. Bellingham built an area for its farmers market, Smith noted.
"The market is one big conglomerate. If you hit them with these fees, you'll kill them," she said.
McHugh said, "My issue is fairness. It seems like we're creating a separate class of businesses and 50 percent of businesses don't pay the business license fee anyway."
The projected $16,500 in additional revenue from the increased fees is not a lot so they should leave it alone until they can take a look at it, McHugh said.
Needham said he will check with the Association of Washington Cities and Municipal Research and Services Center to see what other cities are doing.

The tip jar filled with dollar bills and change on store counters is fast being replaced by apps that give customers an electronic nudge to make a tip.
This week, Whole Foods Market /quotes/zigman/80039/delayed/quotes/nls/wfm WFM +0.34% announced it will start using Square, the payments company known for its tablet and smartphone credit-card readers. Currently, seven Whole Foods Market venues use Square Stand, including stores in New York City, Florida and the San Francisco Bay Area, and gradually its stores nationwide will use it. (A Whole Foods spokeswoman wouldn't comment on whether it would use Square's tipping feature.) Starbucks /quotes/zigman/20720/delayed/quotes/nls/sbux SBUX +0.67% , which uses Square for payment only, will soon make tipping available via the Starbucks app.
The Square Register app allows people to send themselves digital receipts and, the company says, can simplify tipping and signatures. In fact, Square encourages customers to tip around 45% to 50% of the time with a gratuity coming it at between 16% and 17%, according to Square spokesman Aaron Zamost.
Why do people tip more when tapping on an iPad? "There's lots of research that shows that if you decrease the cognitive load — the amount of mental effort required—to do a task, people are more likely to do it, says Michelle Barnhart, assistant professor of marketing at Oregon State University's College of Business.
Calculating a tip takes time and frustrates many customers and, Barnhart says, studies show that suggestions are likely to lead people to tip more often and choose bigger tips if they are presented with three choices. "For most people, calculating the standard tip, 15%, isn't a particularly easy task," she says. If customers are offered three options—basic (15%), better (18%) and best (20%) – they tend to pick the "better" option. "More people may go for the 18% option because they don't want to be the cheapskate who chooses the lowest option, but they also don't want to overtip," Barnhart adds.
"Guilt tips" may even encourage passengers to leave a larger tip in taxis with digital tipping, especially under the watchful eye of the driver, Barnhart says. Touch screen tablets introduced in recent years in New York taxi cabs typically give customers a choice to tip 20%, 25% or 30% on taxi rides while the driver waits. This has also led to an increase in tipping by over 10% on a $15 fare, according to a 2013 study of over 13 million New York taxis by the Department of Economics at Columbia University. "Default tip suggestions can have a large impact on tip amounts," it found.
It's a delicate balance, however. Setting tipping defaults too high risks a backlash, says L.J. Shrum, professor of marketing at Hautes Études Commerciales de Paris, a business college in France. Digital tipping suggestions imply a tipping norm—which can be gradually raised—but if the suggestions violate norms, customers will react and may feel that they are being exploited, he says. Indeed, the New York taxi study found that the number of customers who leave a tip decreases when the defaults are increased, but this "backlash" isn't sufficient to overturn the increased tip amount by other customers.

69203 : IBM WebSphere Portal SemanticTagService.js Unspecified Parameter XSS Printer | http://osvdb.org/69203 | Email This | Edit Vulnerability
IBM WebSphere Portal contains a flaw that allows a remote cross-site scripting (XSS) attack. This flaw exists because the application does not validate an unspecified parameter upon submission to the 'SemanticTagService.js' script. This may allow a user to create a specially crafted URL that would execute arbitrary script code in a user's browser within the trust relationship between their browser and the server.
Currently, there are no known workarounds or upgrades to correct this issue. However, HP has released a patch to address this vulnerability.

01/23/2014 - dpoole1965Sold a Single Family home in 2013 for approximately $125K in Benson, NC.
After listing our older historic home in Benson, NC with another agent, my wife and I began to wonder if we would ever find a buyer. We decided to switch to Wood Realty and noticed a difference immediately. Ron came up with creative ways to promote our home and quickly increased viewings to prospective buyers. Before we knew it, we had several offers and ultimately got matched-up with the perfect buyer for our historic traditional home. For anyone considering buying or selling in Johnston, Harnett or Wake counties Ron is your man!
Response from Ron

09/18/2012 - mmarcellSold a Single Family home in 2012 for approximately $125K in Four Oaks, NC.
I choose Wood Realty Group b/c of their great responsiveness and strait forward marketing strategy utilizing an entire team of people and resources. Prior to contacting Ron, I had my home on the market for over a year, after giving Ron the listing the house was under contract less than 30 days later. I believe this can be attributed directly to the "team work" marketing strategy utilizing multiple resources and agents from their group. I highly recommend Wood Realty Group if you are buying or listing!
Response from Ron on 10/20/2012
I would like to thank you so much for the kind words about our team and our marketing strategies. I hope we can continue to deliver great service, knowledge and results for our clients. I will say that it could never be possible without the great team of agents on our staff. Thank you for your past business and any future referrals of family and friends.
I have used many realtors in the Johnston County area. Ron is the most effective & most knowledgeable realtor I have found. His work ethics and realtor ethics exceed my expectations. I would recommend him to anyone to sell or purchase a home.
Response from Ron on 12/12/2011
I want to thank you so much for taking a few moments of your time to write me a review. I look forward to selling even more new homes for you in 2012.
Ron was so professional in completing this real estate transaction. He was professional in every aspect of listing , showing and completing the property sale. His expertise of the market was an asset that listed and sold the property for us in a reasonable length of time. I would recommend Ron Wood to anyone wishing to sell or buy real estate.
Response from Ron on 12/12/2011
You review was so kind and I truly enjoyed working for you. I want to thank you for your time and gracious nature during our transaction.

A Minnesota hunter was airlifted from Grand Mesa Thursday, Oct. 17, after complaining of severe chest pain and a high fever.
Reed Beckler, 68, of Shakopee, Minn., was hunting in the Green Mountain area.
A friend called 911 from Jim Bryce's hunting camp with the coordinates. Delta County Sheriff Fred McKee says CareFlight responded from Montrose, but found the coordinates were incorrect. They located Beckler at 1 p.m., just as a snowstorm began to arrive and weather conditions deteriorated, preventing a landing. Six members of Delta County Search & Rescue, including an EMT, headed that direction on foot and on horseback, carrying oxygen and medication. Upon arrival they determined they would not be able to extract Beckler without the helicopter. They provided better coordinates and with a break in the weather, CareFlight was able to go directly to Beckler's location. He was transported to Montrose Memorial Hospital where he underwent surgery. Sheriff McKee reports he is on the road to recovery.
According to the sheriff, Beckler rode his ATV to the vicinity of Jim Bryce's hunting camp, then walked in. He planned to walk back out to his ATV.

Nationalist Party
Nationalist Party, also called Kuomintang, Wade-Giles romanization Kuo-min Tang (KMT; "National People's Party"),
political party that governed all or part of mainland China from 1928 to 1949 and subsequently ruled Taiwan under Chiang Kai-shek and his successors for most of the time since then. Originally a revolutionary league working for the overthrow of the Chinese monarchy, the Nationalists became a political party in the first year of the Chinese republic (1912). The party participated in the first Chinese parliament, which was soon dissolved by a coup d'état (1913). This defeat moved its leader, Sun Yat-sen, to organize it more tightly, first (1914) on the model of a Chinese secret society and, later (1923–24), under Soviet guidance, on that of the Bolshevik party. The Nationalist Party owed its early successes largely to Soviet aid and advice and to close collaboration with the Chinese communists (1924–27). After Sun Yat-sen's death in 1925, leadership of the party passed gradually to Chiang Kai-shek, who brought most of China under its control by ending or limiting regional warlord autonomy (1926–28). Nationalist rule, inseparable from Chiang's, became increasingly conservative and dictatorial but never totalitarian. The party program rested on Sun's Three Principles of the People: ...

Ten points on the Sheaffer 300:
1. Yes, it's a heavy pen. But take the cap off, and it's surprisingly well balanced.
2. It's made in Slovakia.
3. It claims to have a Medium nib, but it puts down a rather fine line. And it takes a bit of pushing to get the flow going. So remember to wash the nib once before inking it for the first time. I suspect that the tines are pretty tight. And I don't think they will get loose without help. (But don't try doing that.)
4. The grip is smooth plastic that might feel cheap to some.
5. When the ink flow is steady, as it oftentimes is, even with the fine tip the pen writes smoothly, and there's only a mild skipping (which can be annoying).
6. The construction is very good. The cap fits tightly, and there aren't any random moving parts.
7. The gold plating isn't as remarkable as in some higher models.
8. The cartridges hold only an average amount of ink. Quink and Pelikan cartridges hold about twice as much.
9. This pen *will* draw attention. Maybe even a comment or two.
10. Slovakia. Wow!
A while back I decided to write more on paper instead of using the computer and mobile for trivial work like preparing lists etc. Once I was in the habit of putting pen to paper I realised I needed a better writing instrument. I have always been biased towards fountain pens and there is no better brand than Sheaffer (I cannot afford a Mont Blanc yet!!!!).
Coming to the product in particular, I have to say that it does not write but glides on paper. Writing is an incredible pleasure. The pen feels a tad heavy if the cap is attached to the back while writing but I don't ever do that. The body feels sturdy ( I have already dropped the pen once with no apparent damage). The 2 cartridges and traditional plunger provided with the pen are very thoughtful on the part of Sheaffer.
I am a happy writer.
This is an absolute beauty of a pen. Its heavy and sturdy a bit too. But not to worry when the cap is removed it is very less in the heaviness. What more else this is a procesless possession to have, as these days Fountain Pens are of an extinct. It does come with 2 ink cartridges with a 1 year warrent and a manual in it. Well gift wrapped and nice black box which serves as a case for the pen. At the end of the day worth a money. If you think u are spending Rs.2200 for this, i would say dont think about it. Eyes closed go for it, atleast posses it. It was in the year 1994-1995 i last touched Sheaffer after that i am touching it now(2012). Great sense of satisfaction.
I have been using this for the past four months.The instrument is a perfect one for fountain pen lovers.Initially i was using the cartridge(blue) which I received along with pen,and now I shifted to Pelikan Edelstein Ink (Topaz color) and i will say the experience is awesome with this combo.I want to tell you people with my experience its an awesome pen ya its bit heavy and sadly the ink which provided by sheaffer is of low quality,if u really want to feel the art of writing use this incredible pen along with Pelikan Edelstein Ink.
If you really wanna feel what a fountain pen is, kindly go for it!Perfect ink flow with a stylish yet hardy barrel. The weight of the pen is no nicely balanced that fingers wont get easily fatigued even for after prolonged and fast writing!!!
I would recommend Medium nib, since it gives the best flow. Out of all the different Prelude models, this Black-Nickel stands out!
However, you should wash it at least once a month and take care of the scratches specially for the glossy models..

Unlike Chuck, I don't give a damn about people ooh'ing and ahh'ing over a dunk like LeBron's or DeAndre Jordan's. Getting your balls busted for getting posterized in basketball is nothing new… and in today's internet age, that means Photoshops, tweets, tumblrs, wikipedia edits and whatever else. As far as I'm concerned, fans will spend a day or two getting their jollies about it and they'll move on when Blake Griffin catches someone else.
But that doesn't apply to LeBron's comments about the dunk, which elicit a Liz Lemon eye roll
"It was one of my better ones," James told reporters in Miami. "And the fact that it happened to J.T. made it even that much sweeter. Because I think we all know what J.T. talks, and he talks too much sometimes and I'm glad it happened to him."
The only thing that could have made that quote palatable would have been a Sideshow Bob-type follow up "I'm well aware of the irony of trash talking in order to decry it, so don't bother pointi

Cleaning and Restoration of the Murals and Ceiling in the King Sculpture Court
As part of the original design for the 1917 building, Cass Gilbert hired painter Frederick J. Wiley to decorate the upper walls and ceiling of the museum's Hazel B. King Sculpture Court. The coffered ceiling is enlivened with animal and foliage designs, while the upper walls feature verses written by the American transcendentalist Christopher Pearse Cranch (1813-1892). The condition of the decorations has been seriously compromised by darkening and severe paint losses, particularly on the upper walls. The paintings have never been restored since their completion in 1917.

Why NoSQL - Three Trends Disrupting the Database Status Quo
Company: Couchbase
There are three motivating challenges that have led to the emergence and rapid adoption of NoSQL database technology:

- A growth in the volume and variety of data that developers must work with
- The rise of cloud computing, which relies on a distributed three-tier Internet architecture
In a nutshell, the transition has been spurred by the need for flexibility – both in the scaling model and the data model. This white paper explores how these three trends are driving the NoSQL paradigm shift.
