The Pacific Northwest's longest-running interdisciplinary exposition showcasing the world of engineering and technological innovation.
The Engineering Design EXPO showcases our senior engineering capstone projects, and is the Northwest's longest- running, interdisciplinary initiative featuring student innovations.
This year, the National Academy of Engineering recognized our capstone program as one of the best in the nation, an honor that is a testament to the hard work and talents of our faculty, staff, students and industry partners.
With over 20 years of launching engineering graduates into successful careers it's no wonder the EXPO is the College of Engineering's most anticipated event of the year.
The college welcomes industry partners, alumni, future engineers (elementary through high school students), and community members to come to the day-long event to learn about the exciting new research and designs developed by students at the College of Engineering.
All EXPO events are free and open to the public and take place at the University's Student Union Building, 709 Deakin Ave., Moscow, Idaho. (Get Directions)

- Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Grease a round, deep 20cm tin, then line the base and sides with non-stick baking paper.
- Using electric beaters or a tabletop mixer, beat the butter, sugar, vanilla and ¼ tsp salt together until pale and fluffy, then pour in the eggs, one at a time, giving the mix a really good beating before adding the next. Add 1 tbsp of the plain flour if the mix starts to look slimy rather than fluffy. Beat in the yogurt.
- Mix the flours; then, using a large metal spoon, fold them into the batter, followed by the milk. Spoon the mix into the tin and bake for 1 hr 20 mins or until well risen and golden – a skewer inserted into the middle should come out clean.
- Meanwhile, make the syrup by gently heating 50ml water with the sugar and vanilla in a pan until the sugar dissolves. Set aside. Once the cake is out of the oven, leave to cool for 30 mins in the tin, then use a skewer to poke holes all over the cake, going right to the bottom. Pour the syrup over, letting it completely soak in after each addition. Leave to cool completely, then either wrap the cake well or fill and ice it. If you wrap it with baking parchment and cling film, the unfilled cake will keep well for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to a month.

Comments, questions and tips
Absolutely delicious...very moist. I am not too keen on vanilla flavouring but bought the paste from Waitrose and once it was mixed and cooked, the flavour was yummy! I didn't fill it but covered thinly with butter icing....it went down a treat for my Dad's birthday. Everyone was impressed! It's very easy to make too..in fact, I'm making it again this week for my son's birthday! yum yum!
I made this cake as one of the tiers of my nephew's wedding cake. I'd also made a tester, which I found very useful as it let the bride and groom try the cake before the wedding and helped me to identify any problems I might encounter ahead of the big day.
This is one of the loveliest cakes I have ever made and I intend to use it whenever I need a really special cake in future.
I baked this for the first time this weekend for a 12 x 12 inch cake for a christening.
I used the link the guide here:
To scale up, and I needed 3 quantities of this recipe.
Highly recommended, easy to follow and tasty results!
To LisaC
See link http://www.lindyscakes.co.uk/2009/07/27/how-to-i-change-a-cake-recipe-qu...
Really easy method of scaling up and down.
I'm going to attempt a 12 inch square so I will need 3 times everything.
Hope this helps
I have made this cake many times now, birthday, wedding or just nice cake to have for tea and its always spot on. Easy to make and tastes fab very moist per the blurb, even if you forget to do the syrup like me today! Would absolutely recommend for anyone wanting a good cake mixture with little time to faff.
Flurfychicken - I've also made this recipe a couple of times and think it's delicious. Wonderfully moist and lasts ages. However, my (almost) 3yr old son has asked for a chocolate cake for his forthcoming birthday and I also want to try and adapt this recipe. Let me know if you've suceeded and what you did.
I have used this recipe twice recently to make celebration cakes for friends, I have had excellent feed back from both. I find it is light but strong enough to take carving in to shapes and heavy fondant icing toppers.
I need to make a chocolate cake next week, I wonder if I can adapt this recipe to a chocolate one?
I'm planning to use this recipe for my daughter's 4th birthday party this Saturday. My cakes don't usually turn out that well, so I have high hopes for this one!
I was hoping to bake on Thursday evening, for Saturday. Will the cake keep moist until then, does anyone know?
Also, my daughter insists she wants a Rapunzel cake, with Rapunzel doll in the middle and the sponge as her dress. Does anyone have a great recipe to share? Thanks!
I have been using this recipe for the last 3 cakes I have made and found it works a treat!
Never fails and is a hit with everyone I make it for! Very moist and tasty!Tip, if any cake mix is left over (I make 25cm cake version) then bake the remaining to make a smaller cake. This goes down well with clotted cream and strawberry jam on the side. Its a real hit in my house as everyone just slices of a bit of cake and adds the clotted cream and jam as they wish.
I'm making this for my sisters birthday I've practiced it a few times and it works out great every time. I find the buttercream icing suggested a bit too sweet though so I'm using an italian meringue buttercream instead. I divided the batter in two and coloured one with fuscia pink food paste and the other with bright orange food paste, and filled 4 round cake tins. I then sandwiched the alternating layers, and covered in the white frosting, so that it looks plain on the outside and surprises once cut into slices. (I made two test cakes so I then froze the individual slices so they can be eaten at a later date)

In the school of hitting-sabermetrics, you are taught a few basic, ideological ground-rules: batting average doesn't matter for much, being overly aggressive on the base paths results in unnecessary outs, and patience [at the plate] is a virtue. For these three reasons, Juan Pierre has often been the subject of ridicule from stat-head types–myself included. Yet considering Jason Bay (who posted a .165/.237/.299 line and -4.8 UZR/150 in 2011) is slated to be the Mets starting left-fielder again (UPDATE: not anymore), David Wright led the team with just fifteen stolen bases in 2011, and the team has about $11.5 million (after arbitration/contractual raises) to spend on six or seven roster spots, it pains me to admit that signing Juan Pierre makes way too much sense for the New York Mets.

I have LOTS of trouble finding sandals to where because I have Osteoarthritis, & a pinched nerve in my lower back. Finding shoes that help cushion my walk is very hard to find. I was traveling & we always stop at new Brass Pro shops I found these scandals & one purchase one then after wear them I knew I need to order more because when the first pair wears out I want to make sure I have another to wear. Once before I had a pair that help me walk with out the pain of eve step I took then the company stop making them it took me 2 yrs & I found the ones that work for me. I hope this company doesn't stop making this style of crocs

FEM derivation for plates on elastic foundation ?by Ronankeating Tags: derivation, elastic, foundation, plates |
Jun16-12, 04:52 PM
Hi All,
I'm familiar with the theory of how the soil can represented by means of FEM and how soil-structure interaction is being established. Most of books are pointing out at the Winkler -springs implemented mostly for beams and quadrilaterals (4 node) FEM elements. There are obviously other methods e.g. two-parameter modified Vlasov foundation which in my idea is best approximation. If it isn't the best, at least it's better than Winkler. The approach for deriving the stiffness matrices for Vlasov foundaiton are identical to those of Reissner-Mindlin plates, where transverse shear is being taken into account. In order to, represent the vertical and horizontal spring coeff. of soil, corresponding spring coefficients should be found through strain energy equation. The displacements are given as : u(x,y,z), v(x,y,z), w(x,y,z)=w(x,y)*[itex]\phi(z)[/itex] Where [itex]\phi(z)[/itex] is mode shape but not the one obtained from eigen-mode analysis, simply, mode shape that gives the variation of the deflection in the z-direction. For example [itex]\phi(0)[/itex]=1.0, [itex]\phi(H)[/itex]=0 Obtainig the spring coefficients is: for vertical spring coeffcient k=[itex]\int^{H}_{0}E*(∂\phi/∂z)^2*dz[/itex] for horizontal spring coefficient 2t = [itex]\int^{H}_{0}G*(\phi)^2*dz[/itex] Stiffness matrix for vertical direction is formed by: Minimizing the strain energy by respect to each component of displacement vector. (Uk)e=1/2[itex]\int[w(x,y)^T*k*w(x,y)*dA][/itex] and [Kek]ij=∂(Uk)e2 / ( ∂2wi*∂2wj) similar procedure is valid horizontal stiffness matrix Having those in hand, I wish to addopt that for triangular FEM element which has the shape function as : Ni =ai +bi*x+ci*y where ai, bi, and ci are known from nodal coordinates. My question is, how can that be addopted to the energy equations and how am I supposed to get derivates for dz where I don't have the any representation for Z-direction in my shape function for triangular element? Your helps will be appreciated! Regards, |

How about doing it in 2D by borrowing elements from plane stress/strain or carrying out the whole exercise in 3D (going for example for wedge or tetrahedral elements, would probably be almost simplest for bilinear bricks)?
Jul11-12, 04:53 PM
I haven't done FE in a while and admittedly have never done any work on elastic foundations for FEM, so I will probably not be of too much help here. However, my thought is: do you think you really can do it in 2-D? It is a 3-D problem, with deflection in the vertical direction and a simple bilinear plane stress/plane strain element is really intended to model something that doesn't deflect in the direction perpendicular to the plane (although I may have gone wrong here, correct me if I have - as I said, I haven't done this in a while). Maybe a shell element could do here, or as PerennialII pointed out, doing it all in 3-D.

FEM derivation for plates on elastic foundation ?
Thanks in advance,
I agree with you that can be solved with 3D elements. Since all of the 1D, 2D problems are a special case of 3D problems. In most of my test problems hexas nicely converges with 2D planar elements results. But this time I've kindly need to ask you, do you have an hexahedron subdivision algorithm for spatial volumes? I deliberetely searched internet for weeks about simple quad subdivision algorithms(including opensource project) the only thing that I come up was triangle subdivision and commercial subdivisions which costs almost a luxury car pricem which I can't afford. It seems that I'm familiar with the theory but don't understand it throughly bit by bit, formulation/programming phase of problem is of course another issue. Generally we obtain the stiffness matrix from kinetic, potential energy equation, so what's equilibrium equation(PDE) for? FEM books says that transition is made from weighted residual method or Galerkin approach, but it's not so clear for me. Your comments will be appreciated, |

If you've access to FE related journals can find reviews which will help, was just looking at Cubit and gmsh meshers for something else and those actually have something which relate to this topic, on a principal level:
http://homepages.cae.wisc.edu/~tautg...10.04.day1.pdf http://geuz.org/gmsh/doc/texinfo/gmsh.html#Mesh-module There are a large number of meshing libraries out there which can use as a reference or the library explicitly, like libmesh, meshlab, mesquite, tetgen, gmsh, cubit, triangle , or you might check this if already haven't: http://www.robertschneiders.de/meshg.../software.html In brief, the weighted residual / Galerkin approach is a fairly general way for formulating the weak form and the balance equations, starting from the PDE. Derivations based on potential energy (or virtual work/power, variational approaches) are an another way to formulate the finite element method, and in certain cases these are all equivalent (the potential energy approach for example having its intrinsic limitations and range of application). |

Mission Responsibility Through Investment
"What does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?" —Micah 6:8
MRTI to recommend divestment from Caterpillar, Motorola Solutions and Hewlett Packard
companies don't comply with ga mandate for 'peaceful pursuits' in israel/palestine, committee says
January 23, 2014
The Committee on Mission Responsibility Through Investment (MRTI) has found three corporations ― Caterpillar, Hewlett Packard and Motorola Solutions ― not in compliance with General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) policy on socially responsible investing and will recommend to the 221st General Assembly this summer in Detroit that these corporations be added to the denomination's divestment list until such a time as their corporate activities are found in accordance with policy. (See full report and recommendations.)
Since 2004, General Assemblies have directed MRTI to use the church's customary corporate engagement process to ensure that church investments are made only in companies engaged in peaceful pursuits in Israel, the West Bank, Gaza and East Jerusalem.
The 2014 General Assembly Divestment List is now available
The General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) urges divestment and/or proscription of some corporations due to their involvement in military-related production, tobacco, or human rights violations. Read a comprehensive list of corporations or securities affected by those General Assembly policies.
CF Industries Publishes First Sustainability Report; MRTI Withdraws Shareholder Resolution
CF Industries, in response to MRTI's shareholder proposals, has published its first report on its environmental, safety and health record. The report covers 2012, and provides an initial picture of the company's sustainability efforts.
MRTI submitted a shareholder resolution requesting the report that received 67.02% of the shareholder vote at the 2013 annual meeting. This was the highest proxy vote ever in MRTI's history, and for a sustainability report request in the history of shareholder advocacy. The resolution was resubmitted for the 2014 annual meeting with Friends Fiduciary co-filing.
Subsequently, CF Industries provided the report to MRTI, and requested that the 2014 resolution be withdrawn. Following a dialogue where the company reviewed their first report, and described the on-going process for publishing the next report, the filers decided to withdraw the resolution.
MRTI has provided CF Industries, a large fertilizer company, several suggestions and resources to assist the company in beefing up its disclosure. Sustainability reporting is becoming commonplace for major corporations, and assists stakeholders and investors in evaluating a company's performance on issues such as water stewardship, greenhouse gas and other air emissions and employee safety and health.
Companies have benefitted by greater understanding of their operations, identifying opportunities to reduce costs, and improving regulatory compliance. Companies with good records are also noting a greater ability to attract and retain high quality employees.
MRTI Praises Wells Fargo's Decision to End Direct Deposit Payday Advances
Wells Fargo announced on January 17, 2014, that it was eliminating its direct deposit payday advance program. Direct deposit payday advance is similar to other payday lending except the borrower must have their paycheck deposited directly into a bank account from which the loan plus interest is repaid. Critics of the program have cited high fees and interest rates along with many customers being trapped into more borrowing to repay the original loan.
MRTI has held dialogues with Wells Fargo for many years on all aspects of consumer finance and mortgage lending as well as environmental programs. Recently, the dialogue has included more attention to the bank's direct deposit payday loan product, and reviews of regulatory proposals on the product. This year as well MRTI joined other shareholders in filing a resolution on the issue.
MRTI has worked on ending payday lending abuses for several years, and recently has turned its attention to the growing problem of internet payday lending.
MRTI holds long-sought meeting with Caterpillar
'A positive meeting' but no change in company activities foreseen
LOUISVILLE- Members of the Committee on Mission Responsibility Through Investment (MRTI) met last week with representatives of Caterpillar as part of the committee's ongoing corporate engagement efforts. The engagement, directed by the 2004 General Assembly and reaffirmed in 2006, 2008 and 2010, sought to encourage the company "to confine their business activity solely to peaceful pursuits" in Israel/Palestine. Because the dialogues with Caterpillar and two other companies—Hewlett-Packard and Motorola Solutions—have not been successful, MRTI has recommended that the company be placed on the General Assembly Divestment List.

MRTI report to 220th General Assembly
Engagement With Corporations on Israel-Palestine Issues From 2004 to 2011
Approved by the Presbyterian Mission Agency February 17, 2012
The 2004 General Assembly (GA) instructed the Committee on Mission Responsibility Through Investment (MRTI) to begin a process of "phased, selective divestment" related to corporations doing business in Israel. Following the assembly, MRTI initiated a process consistent with GA policy. First, MRTI reviewed the 1984 GA policy on the use of divestment as a strategy for socially responsible investing, and the criteria for consideration of any recommendation for divestment. Also reviewed was the 1985 GA policy describing the process of phased, selective divestment.
PMA recommends divestment from Caterpillar, Motorola, Hewlett-Packard
GA asked to shed stock 'until they have ceased profiting from non-peaceful activities in Israel-Palestine
LOUISVILLE - The General Assembly Mission Council (GAMC) is recommending that the upcoming 220th General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) divest the church of its stock in three companies "until they have ceased profiting from non-peaceful activities in Israel-Palestine."
Faith-based investing
God's call for justice, compassion and humility requires Presbyterians to respond. We believe a faithful response requires the whole of our lives, including our financial investments.
It is more than a practical question. It gets to the very essence of our faith. It is faith-based investing.
Faith-based investing involves thinking about one's financial resources and investments as part of a faithful life.
Sometimes called "socially responsible investing," faith-based investing is the stewardship of God's resources as entrusted to the church.
Have we looked at companies doing business in Gaza or the West Bank whose work may contributing to terrorism and violence?
Thank you for endorsing divestment from Caterpiller, Motorola, and Hewlitt-Packard. This is the only language the Israeli govenment can understand. I hope this gets a great deal of publicity.

Natural-gas pipelines are among the biggest supporters of long-term contracting for services, as they try to make life easier for themselves. But the time has come to re-examine the pros and cons...
LDCs: That Giant Sucking Sound
Natural gas local distribution companies (LDCs) charge customers for delivery service through what are commonly referred to as base rates. 1 An LDC's base rates are set by its state regulatory commission in a general rate case and are intended to provide the LDC with a reasonable opportunity to recover its revenue requirement, or its operating expenses (including depreciation and taxes) and a reasonable return on the capital invested to provide gas distribution service.
Commissions set LDC base rates for each customer class. These typically contain a fixed monthly charge, generally called a customer charge or a facility charge, and a volumetric charge for each unit of gas delivered. 2 The portions of the delivery revenue stream derived from customer charges and from volumetric charges differ from one LDC to the next, but LDCs typically depend on volumetric charges for a substantial portion of their base revenue recovery. For example, several recent LDC rate-case filings show that between 46 and 57 percent of current residential delivery revenue is accounted for by volumetric charges, and 72 to 77 percent of current commercial delivery revenue is volumetrically dependent. 3
Increasingly, many LDCs are discovering that traditional causes of inadequate earnings, such as higher wages and taxes and investment in new facilities, are not the primary drivers behind the need to request higher base rates. Rather than being driven by expenses or investment, inadequate LDC earnings are due, in large part, to delivery revenue shortfalls-specifically, their inability to achieve the delivery volumes used by their commissions to set volumetric base rates for residential and small commercial customers. 4

National Transportation Safety Board FY 2004 Financial Statements
We issued our quality control review of the audit giving an unqualified or "clean" opinion for NTSB's FY 2004 financial statements. The report presented two material weaknesses previously reported by management and made two new recommendations. We found that the audit conducted by contractor Leon Snead & Company of Rockville, MD, was performed in accordance with applicable standards.

NB Zip Championship Weekend: Los Angeles season in review
David Streeten - 8/21/2008
The regular season
After last year's run to the MLL finals, the Riptide got 2008 started on uneven footing. LA fell to Denver in its first and fourth games, sandwiched around wins over Chicago and San Francisco, then fell under the .500 mark by falling to Long Island by a goal. But from then on out, the SoCal crew has gone 5-2, rolling off three straight including a win over Saturday's foe by a huge 16-6 margin. They stumbled a bit to end the season with a loss to San Francisco, but by that point, the Riptide had already punched their playoff ticket to Boston, and the loss wound up not harming their seeding, as Philadelphia lost as well in its finale.
During their three game win streak in the middle of the season the Riptide defeated Rochester by five goals and also have wins over Denver and Philadelphia, giving them a win over all four squads to make the NB Zip MLL Championship. Los Angeles showed that they can put everything together and beat anyone when they want to.
In the win over Philadelphia, the game was tied at halftime. "We came out in the second half and we just played," said Kyle Harrison when asked about the overpowering latter half. "I'm not going to say we played our best half of lacrosse, but it was definitely the hardest half of lacrosse we played all year long. That was a huge turning point for this team, to be able to come out and win a game like that against the defending champion."
Can they continue winning in the playoffs?
After the emergence of Rookie of the Year Kevin Huntley as a deadly scoring threat, the Riptide went on a 4-2 tear with a dramatically different offensive approach. The Hopkins graduate accumulated 26 points in that stretch.
Since that 2-3 start, the Riptide have been playing like a team on a mission and they have been challenging teams to knock them off course. The goal scoring ability of Jesse Hubbard, who passed Mark Millen for the all-time MLL goals title this summer, has been hard to stop. It took some time for the attackman, who was traded in early May from the New Jersey Pride, to settle in, but since he has the team has flourished. The Triple-H trio of Hubbard, Huntley and Harrison has accumulated 106 points and make it difficult for teams to focus on any one offensive facet of their team.
Impressive though that may be, offense is not the only thing that has carried the Riptide into the playoffs this season. The goaltending of keeper Mickey Jarboe has been outstanding as well this year. Jarboe and the rest of the Riptide defense are ranked second in the MLL in goals against average, giving up just under 13 goals a game. Jarboe also recently earned Goalkeeper of the Year honors, joining Huntley in the post-regular season accolades.

Mexican Star Jenni Rivera Dies In Plane Crash
Singer was 43.
The Mexican music scene has lost another big female star.
Singer and reality star Jenni Rivera is believed to have died in a plane crash reports CNN.
The plane Rivera was traveling in lost contact with air traffic controllers on Sunday. Transportation officials say they've found wreckage they believe is the same plane.
"Everything points to that this is the plane," Communication and Transportation Minister Gerardo Ruiz Esparza told CNN affiliate Foro TV, about a wreckage site in the northern state of Nuevo Leon.
Since her 1999 debut album, Rivera became one of Mexico's biggest entertainment imports. She was named one of People en Espanol's 25 most powerful women in October.
Her personal life was just as popular as her music. She became a single mom at the age of 15 and is the mother of five. Her reality show "I Love Jenni" began airing on Telemundo's mun2 network last year.
She was also a judge on the popular TV show, "The Voice, Mexico."

Ira Riklis: loves a scary movie, so it will be interesting to learn what movies he would
recommend for Halloween fans.
Ira Riklis:
The really scary Halloween movies aren't intended for kids, so I'm going to assume
you aren't asking me about family entertainment. I've always thought that the scariest
Halloween movies were those with a lot of gore. If I don't have to cover my eyes during
a scary movie, it's not of the Halloween fan caliber.
What are your favorite gory Halloween movies, then? The ones that pass your blood and
guts test?
Ira Riklis:
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre definitely tops my all time favorite list. Not only for the
gore content, but Leatherface is wearing a mask that is made of skins. I think that tops
the hockey mask of Jason in the Friday the 13th, although Jason has to be included in my
top 5 scariest Halloween movies.
Zombies have been popular for several years now. How do the living dead films rate on
your scary Halloween movie meter?
Ira Riklis:
Day of the Dead is one of the best zombie movies I've ever seen. Not only is it scary
enough for Halloween fans, it also passes the gore test.
What about thriller movies? Does the lack of rivers of blood automatically remove them
from your favorite scary Halloween movie list?
Ira Riklis:
If a movie is done well, the fact that it could be true makes it doubly scary. Silence of the
Lambs is a psychological thriller that has to go on anyone's top 5 scary movie list. And
we can't forget the classic, The Exorcist.
Thanks to Ira Riklis, we have compiled a list of the top 5 scary movies to watch before

I'm looking to get CS5 Design Premium for my windows machine.
Windows 7 32bit
4Gig DDR3 RAM
Intel Core2 Duo 3.16 Wolfdale processor
Asus Motherboard with SLI compatibility
9800 GT 512meg processor
500gig HDD
Now, my question is, since I built this machine some 3 years ago, how well will CS5 work on it? For gaming this machine still runs fine, but I've never done any real Graphic Design on it.
Am I looking at a dog that needs upgrading or will this machine still run the software without bogging down?
IF I need upgrades, what components should I upgrade?

The Dems tried like hell to kill the tax exemptions status.. Which is a glitch and will be over come soon enough to get real change in our great nation... one more reason to defund the IRS and fix the tax code once and for all.
Any true ideological center is entirely arbitrary. So if the Tea Party, with its ability to appeal to a niche but not the broader population, gains in power, that actually could result in a shift to the left in policy. For example, the Tea Party has been instrumental in nominating Senate nominees in places like Delaware (O'Donnell against Coons), Coloardo (Buck against Bennet), Nevada (Angle against Reid), Missouri (Akin against McCaskill), Indiana (Mourdock against Donnelly). It is hard to imagine that Democrats would have won more than 1 of those races with a reasonable Republican candidate. Coons was way down to his opponent. McCaskill was way down to both of the other potential Republican candidates. Reid was even further behind in polling against other candidate in Nevada. Bennet was very vulnerable as a relatively minor figure in the state. So the push for ideological purity are like the reason for a 54-46 Senate compared with a 50-50 (still nominally Democratic controlled) or even a 51-49 Senate in favor of Republicans. Even one of the few successes the Tea Party has had in even moderately competitive territory (Pat Toomey) is now being threatened with a primary for breaking orthodoxy on a single issue (gun control). If that is successful in 2016 (with a Presidential year electorate), you will likely be looking at another Democratic Senator.
A think that the left are either in denial about the strenght of the Tea Party and completely mischaracterize their purpose.
And if the GOP shifts to left again, it can enjoy more 2006/2008 Congressional results. They have nothing to offer anyone as that party, nothing! People who really get up in the morning for the kind of government-as-center-of-society nonsense will vote for the Democrats over Republicans offering a pale imitation, and the individualist/capitalist leave-us-the-hell-alone plurality of American society will just punt on the political process altogether. Your breakdown of the 2010 Senate races is nothing short of fraudulent, not going to mince words. The only reason ANY of those seats even might have been had, is because of the conservative tide rising and lifting those ships, turning those seats competitive in the first place. But when the RNC didn't get the proper, favor trading dues paying party operators they wanted in a primary, they would cut the candidate loose, minimal financial support, etc. The GOP made a conscious choice that they would rather be a status quo minority than risk losing their power structure to someone as bourgeois and tawdry as the will of an engaged, participating constituency.
Well we sure were in denial about last November's election. We were just sure that Obama would win. Show's what our silly little polls know...
No, the Tea Party is the only reason no Sen. Reid was even possible. The GOP not actually supporting the properly, legitimately selected Republican nominee because she hadn't sucked enough... favors within the party to be handed that spot the way the GOP prefers to get nominees in place, is why there is still Reid.
Well, since you chose not to "mince words" (or back any of your opinions), you just displayed willful blindness, ignorance, or fraudulent interpretations of each of those races. Michael Castle was an incredibly popular ex-Governor and had been US Rep in Delaware for 20 years, winning easily in both 2006 and 2008. He was up double digits in every poll run on the race both early and late. Bennet was always vulnerable as an appointed and relatively low name recognition candidate. He barely won his primary despite almost universal support from the big names (exception Bill Clinton went for his opponent). Claiming that race wouldn't have been competitive in a swing state is ridiculous. Angle in her first month after winning the primary lost 18% in support according to the polling, the largest one month swing in Senate polling history. She lost by less than 6%. A generic Republican (which is what Angle was to most Nevada voters before her primary win) destroys Reid. Angle lost. Lugar would have absolutely wiped the floor with Joe Donnelly, just as he had for decades prior.
In the thread title, change GOP to Country and you're on to something. The dems and reps are destroying this country and the destruction is now on the fast track. Maybe the combination of this current fiasco and Obamacare will be enough for the public to wake up.
I believe in the following: 1. Reducing the deficit that we are burdening our children and grandchildren with. 2. The federal government has only certain limited powers bestowed on it by the Constitution. 3. The United States, like every business, family and person, should live within a budget. 4. The federal government should not intrude further and further into our personal lives. 5. The courts should not reinterpret the Constitution to deal with social issues. 6. The government should not continually raise my taxes. 7. States' rights [a term which one no longer hears] should still exist, and States should exercise the rights bestowed on the States by the Constitution. Am I a member of the amorphous group of many citizens of diverse backgrounds sometimes referred to in a sarcastic and demeaning way as the "Tea Party"? If so, why? If so, which one of my beliefs qualify me as a member? Is there, in fact, a political party known as the "Tea Party"? I read ballots very carefully, and have never seen anything other than Democrat, Republican or Independent on any ballot.
If the tea party left the GOP, the pro-life movement/tea party combo would eventually wipe the floor with the Dems and Pubs, especially with any serious campaign finance (i.e. legalized bribery) reform given that both major parties have little in the form of grassroots/volunteer movements.
Yeah, there isn't a dimes worth of difference between establishment pubs and dems. I personally could give a crap if the GOP as it stands now, just dies a quick and painful death. Most sensible people gravitate to what the essence of the TP stands for.
Totally agree. And let's not forget that all the action is taking place at the state level. The leftist states are going bankrupt and the sensible states are progressing.
I agree 100%. I also think that liberals fail to recognize that independents feel exactly the same way that most Americans do. Hence, they come up with a "group" name and make disparaging comments that have no substance.
The Tea Party has seen what decades of liberalism has done to the country. It's a matter of the survival of the country. I've seen this coming for a LONG time and personally don't think we'll survive. Too many stupid people out there and they vote.
Us fiscal conservatives want nothing to do with your socially conservative viewpoints and wish you would stop trying to crash our party and pollute the fical responsibility message
Actually, the pro-life message is the fiscally responsible? How many pro-life groups do you know that receive government money as opposed to the hundreds of millions that Planned Parenthood alone gets every year while destroying our future worker to retiree ratio with their millions of abortions? Our government spends like a drunken sailor and is pro-abortion. I don't think that's a coincidence.

Dynasties of Ancient Egypt |
The Thirtieth Dynasty of ancient Egypt followed Nectanebo I's deposition of Nefaarud II, the son of Hakor. This dynasty is often considered part of the Late Period.
Nectanebo I had gained control of all of Egypt by November of 380 BC, but spent much of his reign defending his kingdom from Persian reconquest with the occasional help of Sparta or Athens. In 365 BC, Nectanebo made his son Teos co-king and heir, and until his death in 363 BC father and son reigned together. After his father's death, Teos invaded the Persian territories of modern Syria and Palestine and was beginning to meet with some successes when he lost his throne due the machinations of his own son Tjahepimu.[1] Tjahepimu took advantage of Teos' unpopularity within Egypt by declaring his son—and Teos' grandson--Nectanebo II—king. The Egyptian army rallied around Nectanebo which forced Teos to flee to the court of the king of Persia.[2]
Nectanebo II's reign was dominated by the efforts of the Persian rulers to reconquer Egypt, which they considered a satrapy in revolt. For the first ten years, Nectanebo avoided the Persian reconquest because Artaxerxes III was forced to consolidate his control of the realm. Artaxerxes then attempted an unsuccessful invasion of Egypt in the winter of 351/350 BC; the repercussions of his defeat prompted revolts in Cyprus, Phoenicia, and Cilicia.[3] Although Nectanebo gave support to these revolts, Artaxerxes would eventually suppress these rebellions and was once again able to invade Egypt in 343 BC. This second invasion proved successful, and Nectanebo was forced to withdraw from his defenses in the Nile Delta to Memphis, where he saw that his cause was lost. He thereupon fled south to Nubia, where he is assumed to found refuge at the court of King Nastasen of Napata. Nectanebo, however, may have managed to maintain some form of independent rule in the south of Egypt for 2 more years since a document from Edfu is dated to his eighteenth year.[4]
Although a shadowy rebel Khababash proclaimed himself king (338 - 336 BC), Nectanebo has been considered the last native pharaoh of Egypt, and his flight marked the end of Egypt as an independent entity.[5]

Even as Parks Canada celebrates the re-opening of a national historic site on Friday commemorating the birthplace of the country's national park system, it has been stymied in efforts to privatize what some consider its crown jewels: a trio of hot springs nestled high up in the Canadian Rockies.
In April 2012 Parks Canada said it hoped to find a new operator in an little as a year for its Banff Upper Hot Springs, Miette Hot Springs and Radium Hot Springs. But the process has been bogged down by ongoing community consultations with several aboriginal groups that claim rights to the springs.
That has forced the federal agency to delay issuing a formal request for proposals from private-sector suitors seeking to modernize the open-air facilities.

Install Windows 7 on bootcamp through VMware fusion
I bought my imac almost 2 years back and now it's superdrive is broken...
I need help installing windows on bootcamp...I've tried several methods through a USB but failed...when I followed all the instructions from this blog http://www.andrewsavory.com/blog/2011/2156 Everything worked well upto the point when I had to shut down vmware and reboot using refit which I did successfully too...but then windows opened and the last part of the setup was completing, then it restarted again. Again the refit showed up, I selected windows, the logo came and then the screen went blank....I waited for quite sometime hoping something would show up but unfortunately nothing happened...the screen was stuck on the black screen ...since I was so close to installing it, I just hope there's a solution for this problem...plz help me.. |

Hi! I've got the same situation as you. I've only tried to install windows 7 by usb and usb dvd drive so far. I think that Andrews tutorial won't work on out computer cause it's not using Lion (but it's just a thought). I'll try to install to install it here. Then i'll report it here.

Why do people make this more complicated than it should be, or am I misunderstanding.
Why do you install windows on another partition (Bootcamp) with VMware You don't even need bootcamp to do this, it's as simple as resizing (Partitioning) the HD with Disk Utility (From boot disk-Yes it works) and then Holding Option on start up and select the USB disk on which Windows Installer resides, it will boot and Install, you only have to format the Partition to NTFS and there it goes. Even for downloading Bootcamp Drivers you don't need Bootcamp Assistant! |

Dude, the problem is that imac can only recognize it's superdrive. Any other kind of boot (usb or external cd drive) It says "No bootable device founded". And our superdrive cd is broken... so..

I had this (except for the part where SuperDrive is broken; instead there simply isn't any). Turns out it matters which USB port your thumb drive is in. If you set up the thumb drive properly, stick it in slot 1, and boot holding down option, you should see it.

As long as we are talking about academic subjects at the high school level, the vast majority of a student's grade should be based on performance. It may be appropriate to give a student a boost of a percentage point or two based on effort, but a grade should be based almost solely on performance.
By the time students get to high school, they should be treated as if school is part of the "real world." In the "real world," you don't get rewarded for trying and failing. If you try hard, but you keep making mistakes at your job, you are not likely to keep the job. We do not do students any sort of a service by letting them pass just because they tried hard. That does not prepare them for the performance-based demands that they will face after high school.

Being a student,
I student can be graded on effort. Because, effort leads to produce a good performance. If students put an effort, only then, he/she will get a good performance. I conclude saying that a student should be graded on effort not performance.....
Posted by hemanthbluee on August 12, 2011 at 4:48 PM (Answer #3)
I believe that relying on one method would not be feasible in todays fast paced environment. Each student has a different potential and some are those with special needs. Keeping that into account an amalgamation of the two methods would be more appropriate.
Performance has to be given more credibility than effort but that doesnot mean that the latter should be downplayed because it is important to boost the morale of the students.If a student is putting in his/her maximum effort but is still unable to achieve the threshhold level of performance then probably his strengths lie elsewhere. You can help him/her find that and focus on that.
Performance matters alot because we are a goal oriented society. we tend to focus on the "end" rather than the means. If we are rational, then that is what can help us achieve our goals. Without achieving the results through efficient and effective performance we would lag behind.
An ideal system would be the one that somehow balances both but still rewards the performance on a little higher level than effort.
Posted by siddy87 on August 13, 2011 at 12:48 AM (Answer #4)
I think both aspects need to be clearly communicated to the student, and perhaps effort should be a scale of its own. That said, I agree with #1: performance is the real world and performance is the universal measure of success.
By reporting on both areas, however, students can have a clear idea of their capabilities within a subject to help them make the right choices. If A++ effort only produces E grades, and in another area B effort produces B grades, the student is going to have more success pursuing the latter course.

Measuring performance is difficult, and measuring effort is subjective most of the time. We're living in a society which is sometimes more concerned about how our students feel than whether they are actually learning. Certainly basing a grade solely on effort is a ridiculous notion for academic subjects; however, effort can and should be taken into consideration as one small part of the grade. That, I think, is what sets American education apart from the more rigid educational systems across the world. That may be, in part, what keeps American student scores lower than the others; but it is who we are.
Posted by auntlori on August 13, 2011 at 5:50 AM (Answer #7)
In order to answer this, you must answer another question first: What is the purpose of a grade? If students receive grades as a quantitative way to report and record the skills that they have, then grades have to be based on performance.
This also begs the question of exactly what skills are being taught. In the elementary grades, classroom and life skills such as working in a group and sharing resources are usually taught along with the academic curriculum. These skills are often summed up in an "Effort" grade, more as a convenience to the teacher than anything else. In the lower grades in particular, I agree with 5, that both kinds of grade - performance and effort- should be assigned. Once students get into high school, I believe performance grading is the way to go. I'm been teaching for 25 years and I'm honest enough to admit that I am not a mind reader. I can estimate what effort a student seems to be giving me, but I don't really know for sure, and at times my assessment in this matter has been quite incorrect.
I think that high school students should be learning to stand on their own two feet. In the real world, nobody cares about your effort, it's what you accomplish that matters. Try filling out your income tax forms wrong and then telling the Internal Revenue Service that you tried your best.
Posted by pacorz on August 13, 2011 at 6:42 AM (Answer #8)
I think that it should be a measurement of both. Consider this: a student is able to commit to memory an entire lecture on a subject. The test is based upon the ideals discussed in the lecture. This student will be able to "ace" the test if the test simply covers the facts. What I do instead is focus on what the student learns as a result of the lecture and their own personal thoughts on the material. Therefore, the test would combine their performance and their effort at mastery.
Performance: understanding of the material
Effort: What they show outside of the given facts.

A small college in my neighborhood adopted a new policy that a substantial portion of a students grade should be based on "effort." This brilliant idea resulted in the school losing its accreditation until the policy was reversed. Effort is certainly important, but it can be extremely difficult to quantify. If a student misses a certain letter grade by a point or two but has made a significant effort to achieve, I often am inclined to spot him/her the difference; but I do not consider "effort" a measurable element to be factored into grades every time. Effort should be considered, but not measured.
Posted by larrygates on August 14, 2011 at 7:38 AM (Answer #10)
At the high school level, I have a weekly grade that I call Class Participation/Effort grade. If the student is on task, taking notes, particpating in group work, etc., I grade that as an effort grade. I have found that most of my students work really hard to get a good Class Participation/Effort grade. This in turn ensures better performance on tests.
Posted by lsumner on August 15, 2011 at 1:48 AM (Answer #11)
That all depends on you. You set the rubric and the students produce and/or perform to the standards of the rubric.
I taught ESL Computer Applications and all of their grades were based on rubrics for each project. They included perfomace and product. My take was if they could follow the instructions and give what the rubric criteria demaned, they did well. As many of these projects were group based I also allowed their co-worker to have a say in their grades.
We had a lot of fun and the students learned many things that helped them in other classes. Also, with them working in groups the other students were able to help them understand.
Posted by daskalos on August 20, 2011 at 11:19 PM (Answer #12)
Tough question. I often grade this way (on both) when I can get away with it. For some kids, they put in the effort and never seem to be able to catch on. Still, if I know a student is working hard, I will grade on effort as well. Performance grades don't bode well for students who have test anxieties. Some kids, on the other hand, put forth little effort and just naturally remember things. I prefer to grade on performance, but I reserve the right to help the struggling student in terms of effort. (This takes on an entirely new light with regard to intellectually and/or emotionally challenged students.)

Should students be graded on effort or performance?Should students be graded on effort or performance?
Yes! I feel that the best way to assess student achievement is by looking not only at the results, but also at the effort they put in. For example, I take a weekly participation grade for my classroom. This includes preparedness, materials, engagement, alertness, attitude, and contributions. I record in my gradebook my reasons for giving each grade and I point them out when students ask why they have a certain grade.

students should be graded by effort. As long as they put in effort to do their best, they should be well rewarded as it will then lead to improvement in their performance.
Posted by cheezea on September 10, 2011 at 12:41 AM (Answer #15)
They should be graded on a lttle bit of both. I mean, effort counts, because maybe the kid has an issue and cannot do well no matter what. But, if they are still not performing well, it means there is a problem. we need to get to the root of that problem. Maybe the kid needs extra help, a tutor perhaps.
on the other hand, there are students who don't try and get good grades. they arre naturally intelligent....... Thats why there should be a grade for effort as well. There could be paticipation marks for example. there could be regulr homework checks for completin marks..... :)
Posted by shizza123 on September 16, 2011 at 5:02 AM (Answer #16)
I think that when grading a child on their performance, you are automatically grading them on effort. I say this because in order to perform effort is required and you can see just how much of effort is put in by the result of the performance.
But i guess this could be argued because some children can put in a LOT of effort and still not perform well and some can put in little effort but perform greatly.
However i still think that a child should be graded on both.
Posted by lolboxgirl on September 17, 2011 at 12:52 AM (Answer #17)
They should be marked on both for example if they give 200% yet fail because they struggle should give consideration of the effort
yet if a student give 0% and get a resonable grade should make sure that they know if they had tried thy would do better thus lower there mark.

well, i feel that students must be graded for both.Both are necessary for the overall development of a student. but the ratio to be graded should be something like 15% for effort and 85% for performance.

Both. It is imoportant that a child does well to show that they pay attention in class and understand what you try to teach them (if they don't offer extra help) But effort is important because you want your students to try hard and want to do well

I feel that both play an important role. As a student I usually try my hardest to bring Homes A's and B's (Preferably A's ha) so I grade them more on effort but both are important.

Continuous and comprehensive evaluation was formulated by Education Minister, Kapil Sibal to decrease the accumulated stress of board exams on the students and to introduce a more uniform and comprehensive pattern in education for the children all over the nation. CCE helps in improving student's performance by identifying his/her learning difficulties at regular time intervals right from the beginning of the academic session and employing suitable remedial measures for enhancing their learning performance. The scheme of continuous and comprehensive evaluation has inbuilt flexibility for schools to plan their own academic schedules as per specified guidelines on CCE. As a part of this new system, student's marks will be replaced by grades which will be evaluated through a series of curricular and extra-curricular evaluations along with academics. The aim is to reduce the workload on students and to improve the overall skill and ability of the student by means of evaluation of other activities. Grades are awarded to students based on work experience skills, dexterity, innovation, steadiness, teamwork, public speaking, behavior, etc. to evaluate and present an overall measure of the student's ability. This helps the students who are not good in academics to show their talent in other fields such as arts, humanities, sports, music, athletics, etc.This Is a new term to assess all round devolpment of a child ,irrespective of individual differences.

As we speak about grades, as a teacher, I can recommend grades for performances and incentives for efforts. But, undoubtedly, grades should be awarded for performance only. The grades expresses the level of performance , which shows the progress, and teaching process expresses the progress.

There should be a healthy balance because it all comes down to what you are grading. For example, you could be grading how well somebody works in a group which would come under performance or you could be grading an art project which would implie grading on effort because everbody is not Picasso. It all depends on your curriculum and the projects and type of activities you are doing.

I believe teachers should be assessed like other professions-- a mix of effort and performance. What is different than many other professions is that teachers work with individuals, and young individuals at that. What might be a great success with a certain group of learners might be considered a failure with a different group and vice-versa. Thus, it is paramount to consider the circumstances when determining teacher performance-- who did they teach? Where did they begin the year? What were the realistic goals? Etc.

i believe that tests should be based on performance rather than effort. all though, if it should already be known to the students and is just a quick review, then i believe that it should be graded on effort.

Students should be graded strictly on the basis of performance and not on the basis of effort. Students should realize that effort without proper understanding or skill, leads to nowhere. Furthermore how can anyone calculate effort? Take it for instance, I grade A+ to a student on the basis of his good effort, and B to another student who I think didn't give any effort. Be reminded that my judgement of student's effort, can be wrong, and the student who got A+ grade, just pretended to show effort.

On effort!!! Super best results!!! Recognition with education is the ultimate goal.

Performance primarily
Goals and standards should be clearly explained in the learning environment (ie "by the end of this course you should understand x, y and z concepts). If by the end of the course the student does not understand x, y and z the purpose of the course has not been met despite the effort (or lack thereof) put in by the student. In another arena, if your boss says "we need to make X/month to keep the lights on and pay your salary" and you are unable to do that despite your effort the result is poor (unfortunate, but still poor). What is the purpose of a goal if the goal is irrelevant to the succes of the participants? The goal should be learning and if the learning is not accomplished (even if effort is applied) then there is no point in having a goal.

How is the world and society going to grade them? Take all your best efforts and go into a bank for a home loan. Well, I TRIED to get a good job and I TRIED to pay all my bills and I TRIED to go to college... All the effort in the world doesn't mean a hill of beans. The only thing that matters is success in the form of performance, and the sooner we teach them that the better.

Well, being a student, i think effort plays a big role in overall performance. If you just grade performance, your missing out a huge brick of achievement fot the student, ditto if you just grade the effort. Therefore, i think you need to grade both or graft the grades/marking schedule together (effort+performance) to have a good mark.
