One of the hedge funds raided by the FBI last week says the investigation is focused on a single employee and a former employee who reported to him.
Diamondback Capital Management informed clients in a letter today that the firm is not a target of the government's insider trading investigation. "Diamondback is not alleged to have engaged in any misconduct or wrongdoing," the letter said. The hedge fund was one of three firms raided last week by the Federal Bureau...

A House Of Hope in Philly
Yesterday our church planting launch team hit the streets in South Philly to serve. It was cold, so we setup at two major bus and subway stops to pass out free Starbucks coffee, donuts, cookies and brownies. We also visited a hospital on Broad Street and served coffee and cookies to the nursing staff. We had a blast talking with people, praying with people, and demonstrating the practical love of Christ in our city.
My dream for CityLife Church is that we will be a compassionate community that lives to serve! There are many needs in the city. We want to be a solution and a life-giving presence.
This article that recently ran in the Philadelphia Inquirer hit me more than most. It describes the violence that is experienced in many of our city's schools, and the challenge that creates for teachers who are trying to teach and students who are trying to learn.
In the 2009-2010 school year, there were 4,541 reported incidents of violence in Philadelphia schools. That means that in one average day, 25 students, teachers, or other staff members were beaten, robbed, sexually assaulted, or victims of other violent crimes. 9 out of every 10 public schools, from elementary schools on up, reported a serious assault last year. And bringing it home, two of the schools listed in the article are in my neighborhood.
I guess I can't quite get away from this story because I can't stop thinking about my own two little girls. My dreams for them as a father are the same as God's desires for EVERY child in our city. Safety. Education. Future. Hope.
I'm convinced that CityLife Church needs to happen NOW. We have to see that number decrease. And we need to address the spiritual needs that are fundamental to the anger and frustration that's coming from these kids and teenagers in our city.
I'm so happy God has called us to establish a house of hope in this great city. He is stronger than any obstacle and His love is the remedy to every need.

DiMarzio® has always been known for magnetic pickups, but they believe the combination of magnetic and piezo can create a unique acoustic guitar sound. The wideband frequency response of the piezo together with the depth of the magnetic pickup opens up the soundstage, and the ability to select either sound as well as both together offers three distinct sounds. The Angel™ System consists of The Angel™ magnetic pickup, a Shadow Nanoflex saddle pickup, and a circuit built into the endpin jack which includes The Angel Active EQ system. Independent volume controls are soundhole-mounted for complete mixing control.

Das Haus - Interiors on stage
With 'Das Haus – Interiors on Stage', the imm cologne 2012 resumed the tradition of the Ideal Houses, without adopting their rather abstract dimension. Instead, the imm cologne was deliberately seeking to connect with real conditions, thus building a bridge between the industry's furnishing products and the progressive creative drive of the international design elite.
The project focused on the design of an artificial living situation within the trade fair – a public and yet very personal living space designed by Nipa Doshi and Jonathan Levien. The London-based design team kicked off the new design event at imm cologne in January 2012.
"Das Haus – Interiors on Stage" showed a structure created entirely in accordance with the guest designer's ideas – architectural elements, interior and outdoor space – as well as arrangements of furniture and furnishing elements for an individually configured interior design. In the middle of the Pure Village, imm cologne erected an approx. 180 m² platform
to serve as an open stage for the project. "Das Haus – Interiors on Stage" is thus both a designer portrait and a visionary blueprint, an example of how it is possible to create a world of one's own that becomes an expression of one's own personality.
The guiding principles of Doshi Levien
"Why for instance shouldn't you be able to watch someone having a shower in the spa while you're sitting in the salon? For us, wellness is a means to physical wellbeing, which means it has to do with bathing and the kitchen as well, and that's why there's a direct link between these spaces and a shared cabinet."
"What we've got in mind is more like a market kitchen, a sort of naked space that's full of equipment and food, an explosion of activity. And the kitchen is linked to the workshop, which isn't necessarily just a place for making things, it's also a place where the kids can play and the family can get together to do activities."
"In every part of the house, we're bringing together and connecting the different areas of the home and redefining what they could be and how they could be used."

What have you learned since moving to United?
I have learned a lot of things. When I came here with the Under-18s with Paul McGuinness and the Reserves with Warren Joyce, I have learned loads of things in England with those coaches. Clearly, they are really good coaches and I always try to listen to what they say and do my best to follow their advice. I get to work on what they tell me.
You often play in a floating role – is that your favourite position?
I always try to do my best in each position really. I still keep working hard wherever I play. Even if I need to be in defence, I am still doing my best.
But you're a creative player so is it important you get on the ball as much as you can?
I really like to play with the ball at my feet. It is more my type of play than defending. I take the set-pieces as well and always try to deliver the best ball I can and do something for the team to help my team-mates.
How rewarding was it to hear Sir Alex talk about your potential?
Of course, it was great. He is a big coach, the boss, and it's a good feeling. I always want to do better and better but it felt good and was a really big step for me. I hope to achieve something at Manchester United.
No matter how cold it is, Sir Alex is often at the matches..
I love this. He is a big coach, you can't say anything more about him as he is one of the best in the world, but I don't think other team's managers come to watch the Under-18s and the Reserves. But it's really professional here and I really like it at United. I feel good here.

Google may be the world's largest, most widely-used search engine, but that's not all it is. Over the years, through both homegrown projects and acquisitions, the search behemoth has become a bona fide publisher in its own right.
Not surprisingly, this has created tensions between Google and some of the publishers that rely on its SERPs which drive traffic to their websites.
If Google is a publisher, many argue, how can it play fair when it comes to those SERPs?
Some, of course, suggest that it can't, and their arguments often have validity. But if an experiment that Google is running becomes more than an experiment, publishers may find themselves the most livid they've ever been.
While searching, an observant Google+ user noticed a new 'Sources' content area that appeared to the right of search results, where AdWords ads normally appear. This 'Sources' area contained information about his search terms, which included "twitter" and "rihanna."
In the case of the former, Google provided information about Twitter, including a brief description, as well as data about Twitter's location and corporate status. In the case of the latter, Google displayed a considerable amount of information about recording artist Rihanna, including her birth date, height and loved ones. Google also included a photo and a list of some of her songs.
According to Search Engine Land's Matt McGee, Google responded to questions about 'Sources' with the standard "Google is constantly experimenting with new features", so it's not clear if and when 'Sources' might roll out in a big way.
But if it does, you can be sure many publishers will not be happy. After all, if Google culls information it thinks a searcher might be looking for and displays that information within the SERPs themselves, one might reasonably expect searchers to click less on the search results.
Exacerbating the situation, of course, is the fact that Google appears to be gathering the content it displays in 'Sources' from external websites, like Wikipedia. The same websites, of course, that appear next to 'Sources' in the SERPs.
Even if 'Sources' is little more than an experiment that goes nowhere, it hints at where Google is contemplating going, reminding publishers that the search engine that sends them so much traffic can be at the same time their best friend and worst enemy.

Concentrated solar attracts big-name investors
The concentrated photovoltaics industry got another nod of confidence Wednesday.
Amonix, a CPV manufacturer, announced it has raised $129.4 million in Series B funding, with Kleiner Perkins named the lead investor. The Seal Beach, Calif.-based company said it will use the funds to expand manufacturing in an effort to get its CPVs out the door more quickly.
Concentrated photovoltaic (CPV) solar systems differ from regular solar panels in that they use lenses or mirrors to concentrate sunlight on solar cells to maximize the amount of electricity you can generate from solar rays. The technology, while more expensive than … Read more

Beautifull Rug
Par Pardeep
de Brampton
I ordered two rugs (in burgundy and in Chocolate) and they are both beautifull and make a statment in my familyroom and in my livingroom. Over the holidays a lot my family visited and I got so many compliments. Wool rugs will shed but will desipate over the time. I love my rugs.
Nice rug
Par MARGARET
de TORONTO
I am surprised that on clearance price this rug is still not sold out. I purchased large one in burgundy.... as it was too big temptation to pass by without buying wool rug on this price. Mine does not have imperfections mentioned by other buyers and shedding is not annoying. I used for a while a scotch tape on corners to change its habit to go back to the "storage position" - so it stopped rolling back.Maybe it would be nicer if burgundy colour was lighter, but dark is O'K and room looks nice and cozy, so I am happy with this redecoration.It comes with the additional none skidding underneath mat. I am glad that I bought this rug.
Room makeover

Yes the rug sheds, But I have been looking for a new rug since the kids left and the new look inspired me to update the whole living room. Love the outcome. I did not find the colourcoded quide helpful as the colour are not maching with the acctual rug

Warning: This Rug Shed A LOT!
Par Maylene
de Mississauga, ON
I swear my rug is beautiful but Horrible at the same time! When I first got rug and it sheds, I thought it was okay because it was new and that the shedding would last. But after a few months of daily vacuuming with my dyson its not worth at all. Yes! It is beautiful no doubt about that but putting it in your living room/ family room where children sit and play is not fun at all unless you want to spend time removing all the furs from their clothes. Worst than playing with a dozen of dogs. Maybe this rug was made of dog hair after all! TSC should test the product first before making it a Todays show stopper. Completely waste of my money.

bought the gold and it is a keeper!
Par Ivanamama
de Ottawa
I bought the smaller size and the accent rug. Odd size but fits my area well. This is not SOFT as my Aubusson ones are. Not so great if little ones or adults sit on it but there are no little ones around here. I have not noticed any of the problems others have mentioned. I only know that I could not get this rug for that price anywhere else. Yes, the bags these rugs come in (I have 4 + accents now) are dirty and it would be impossible to get them back in to return!

Good quality for the price.
Par Wooly Bear
de Rocky Mountains, BC
I ordered the 8x10 burgundy. Yes it came in a dirty plastic bag, but what do you expect, after shipping across Canada. Inside it was clean as I expected it would be. The underpad smelled with chemicals but airing it out for a few days dissipated the odour. It is good value for your money,there is a bit of a crooked border, but only I notice it. The colour is true to what I saw on TV, the design is lovely and it is made well. All wool rugs shed, especially when new. Wool is more durable than synthetic, they are warmer,clean easier and if you look after this carpet it will give you many years of servie. If you were expecting top notch quality this is not the carpet for you. You get what you pay for and under a thousand dollars for a wool carpet this size is hard to beat. No one knows how much I paid for it, they think it is a very expensive rug. It looks expensive, it is thick, the colour is pleasing to the eye, and it is lovely in my living room.
Luxury at a very affordable price
Par Debbie
de Grand Falls, NL
Can't say that I've had any of the complaints that others buyers have had. I ordered this rug in gold and am very pleased with the look and quality for the price (Show Stopper). This was my first ever rug purchase so I didn't know what to expect. The color is perfect for my room decor and the pattern is beautiful. In my opinion, it has the look of a very expensive rug. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this to anyone.

Okay but not the greatest.
Par ISABELLE
de BURNABY
Got off to a bad start with this run which is neither TSC or the rugs fault. It was left at my door. (I had checked the tracking and saw that the delivery date was estimated to be a day later.) The value of the order was over $300 and I do not live in a secure neighborhood. The plastic covering was filthy as others have said however inside was another woven plastic bag that had protected the carpet. I am a tenant and have very bad wall to wall that I am not allowed to change. I bought this carpet to detract from the wall to wall. I bought sage and the colors are true to those shown on TV. The rug looks good overall blending and unifying the furniture and the wall to wall. If you examine the rug closely I see the issues others have described re uneven lines and cutting but they do not bother me. In fact the quality makes it a little less formal so fits my lifestyle. The backing of this carpet seems fine on my carpets although I don't know how they will hold up. The carpet does shed however I only notice that because the vacuum canister fills faster than normal.It did have terrible outgassing when I first opened the rug and my first thought was that I would have to return it. But that had dissipated within 24 hours. I do not know why a carpet that is all wool with cotton backing should be off gassing.As for recommending this, proceed cautiously would be my suggestion. If you are looking for a high end carpet this is not for you. If you are looking for a wool carpet for a low price then you might be quite happy with this one.

Not as nice as I had hoped
Par JPrice
de Ladysmith
I was really excited to get this rug, I had ordered it in gold, it was not the quality that I expected (that being said I am keeping it, and will look for another one down the rd.) I also found the outside boarder sloppy, and there are area's that look "dirty" or miss dyed. The worst part is, the parts that they cut out the designs , the lower part has all sorts of bumps and high and low spots, so much so I have gone with my sewing scissors and have cut the rug myself to get it even. Which works but is time consuming, I have only done half, if your not to picky it's probably not a big deal, I was under the impression that this was a HIGH QUAILTY rug. If I had purchased this at a store I would have returned it, it is to much of a hassle to return threw the shopping channel , but like I said early it will do until I find another one down the rd.
Very Nice
Par Annie
de Toronto
I ordered this in the 5'x8' ivory. It is very pretty but the ivory isn't as true as I thought it would be, more of a light beige/*dirty* ivory. It will probably be more forgiving in the long run. A little bit of trimming was required, no biggie. Can't expect much more for a mass produced rug. All in all, great value with the showstopper price and I have no regrets.

Bankia deal lands Aviva £494m
by Sarah Miloudi on Dec 19, 2012 at 08:26
Aviva has reached an agreement with Bankia to transfer its entire holding in Spanish joint venture Aseval to the bank.
The deal sees Aviva net €608 million (around £494 million) in cash and will boost the insurer's capital position.
It is expected to be complete no later than April 2013, Aviva told the stock market, though its agreement is still subject to approval.
John McFarlane (pictured), chairman of Aviva, added: 'This settlement is in line with our strategy to increase Aviva's financial strength and we have realised significant value from our joint venture with Bankia.'
The news comes at the end of a year in which Aviva has been linked with the sale of its US arm and rolled out a restructure within its asset management division, Aviva Investors.
Cash from its deal with Bankia will increase Aviva's central group liquidity by €608 million (£494 million) and be used for 'general corporate' purposes, the firm said.

As we've noted over the past week, the politics of the UNC system's Board of Governors is changing.
A Republican majority is now running things in Raleigh, and has put its imprint on the UNC system by thoroughly re-making its governing board.
After a slew of new appointments over the last two weeks, Republicans now out-number Democrats 18-13 on the board.
Does it matter?
Well, maybe. We'll see how ideological the board becomes when its new members are seated in July. It hasn't been too political in recent history.
Though the board itself is rarely openly partisan in its decision-making, the process to get there sure is.
Take, for example, the case of Clarice Cato Goodyear.
Goodyear, of Charlotte, is a current board member, named to the board in 2007 on the nomination of a Democratic State Sen. Daniel Clodfelter.
She has been active on board committees and has represented the board in an official capacity at commencement ceremonies for 16 of 17 campuses in the system.
She concludes her first four-year term later this year, and in recent months has clearly fought hard for reappointment.
The nomination packet she submitted to legislators was far more robust than many; it extols her accomplishments at length and makes the point several times, often in bold print, that while she used to be a registered Democrat, she's now registered as an unaffiliated, and brings the backing of many influential Republicans.
She notes that she's a fiscal conservative who has spent more than 30 years as an executive with the Cato Corporation, a women's fashion retailer.
She enlists 23 influential movers and shakers to offer endorsements. Several happily point out that she's seen the light by abandoning the Democratic party.
Her four pages of endorsements include these snippets:

Clifton homeowner, police at odds over popular Halloween display
Photos: Clifton's Halloween horror house
Wayne Gangi says he's just offering some simple, terrifying Halloween fun with the bloody corpses, skeletons and gargantuan furry spiders he drapes all over his house and property.
But as he sets up his monsters, ghouls and other specters of the macabre this year, it's just not the same — not after Gangi, and hundreds of scare seekers from all over North Jersey, were really horrified in 2011 by a parking ticket blitz as Clifton cracked down on what it considered a huge traffic hazard.
It'll be that way again. The city will repeat a tactic it turned to when talks with Gangi failed over paying for extra police to work the scene: no parking allowed evenings and nights before and on Halloween in the neatly kept neighborhood around Gangi's home at 562 Grove St.
City officials are not stopping the display, but they're firm: safety is safety.
"Lots of people come out to see it and enjoy it, and we don't want people getting hurt," said City Manager Matthew Watkins.
But that's left Gangi sad, frustrated and rethinking a Halloween tradition now in its 12th year.
"If they knew how many thousands and thousands I spent every Halloween," he said. "I'm known as a landmark all over for people to come on Halloween, but the city doesn't want that."
Gangi says his display is a labor of love for the holiday, an homage to the horror genre and an offering to children who enjoy the thrills and chills of Halloween. He grew up watching classic horror flicks and visiting a private haunted house in Montclair each year with his family, and his own tradition started when he crafted a few witch figures in discarded bridesmaid gowns and put them on his lawn.
When he saw how much people enjoyed it, he added to the scene year after year until it grew to be a massive horror show including volunteer actors: On Halloween night, the display comes to life — or, at least, to the un-dead — when monsters roam amid tombstones, smoke churns over the lawn, and scream machines and chainsaws roar.
Gangi, whose profession — dentist — no doubt provides added expertise in fear management, presides over it all as Dracula.
He doesn't know exactly how many people visit each year, but noted that he gave out 3,000 candy bars to costumed children one recent Halloween.
But the parking tickets and negativity from the city have discouraged him, he said, and caused some volunteers to abandon the effort this year. And that especially hurts because he's relied on them to mount the extensive display, put on the haunted show and help manage crowds.
Gangi said he may scale back the display — already short of its usual size for early October — and doesn't know if he'll host the live haunted show at all — "You lose your enthusiasm to make things happen," he said.

With a snap of his fingers Nathan Eclaire finds himself naked and horny facing an equally naked and horny Marc Guerin. Their big smiles and even bigger boners prove they're up for heavy manaction. Nathan sucks Marc's uncut cock, working his mouth hungrily over the meaty pole. Then Marc gets up and forces his dick down his buddy's throat - whatever position is okay because Nathan knows that a faceful of cock will lead to a mouthful of cum. But that's not enough for Nathan. Even after Marc gets on his knees to fellate him, Nathan mouths his partner's cock again and shoves a vibrator up his hole. No longer able to hold back, he finally shoots his wad.

That's the message sent by Omar Minaya and Jerry Manuel today, as the team will fire Alicea and Sandy Alomar Sr, while the rest of the team's coaching staff will return. Razor Shines and Sandy Alomar Jr will likely inherit the first base coach and bench coach jobs and the team will likely look to find new men to fill the third base coach and catching instructor roles.
It should come as no surprise that the team is going to retain Jerry Manuel for another year. While he is neither a good instructor, nor a good in-game tactician, nor is he good at relating to his players (as Ryan Church can attest), nor is he good at keeping the team from quitting on him, and nor does he make a substantial sum of money…actually, I don't know why the Mets are retaining Manuel. I guess it's just easier to keep him than have to fire him and go through the trouble of finding somebody else? Especially when somebody else (like Mets blogosphere favorite Bobby Valentine) could command up to $4 million.

A connective spectrum is a spectrum whose homotopy groups in negative degree vanish. These are equivalently
Connective spectra form a sub-(∞,1)-category of spectra
There are objects in , though, that do not come from "naively" delooping a topological space infinitely many times. These are the non-connective spectra. For general spectra there is a notion of homotopy groups of negative degree. The connective ones are precisely those for which all negative degree homotopy groups vanish.
Non-connective spectra are well familiar in as far as they are in the image of the nerve operation of the Dold-Kan correspondence: this identifies ∞-groupoids that are not only connective spectra but even have a strict symmetric monoidal group structure with non-negatively graded chain complexes of abelian groups.
The homology groups of the chain complex correspond precisely to the homotopy groups of the corresponding topological space or ∞-groupoid.
The free stabilization of the (∞,1)-category of non-negatively graded chain complexes is simpy the stable (∞,1)-category of arbitrary chain complexes. There is a stable Dold-Kan correspondence that identifies these with special objects in .
So it is the homologically nontrivial parts of the chain complexes in negative degree that corresponds to the non-connectiveness of a spectrum.

This classic British thriller was one of Alfred Hitchcock's first major international successes, and it introduced a number of the stylistic and thematic elements that became hallmarks of his later work. Richard Hannay (Robert Donat), a Canadian rancher on vacation in England, attends a music hall performance by "Mr. Memory" (Wylie Watson); in the midst of the show, shots ring out and Richard flees the theater. Moments later, a terrified woman (Lucie Mannheim) begs Richard to help her; back at his room...more

Donald Hassig, the Green Party candidate in the north country's congressional race, was arrested outside City Hall in Watertown yesterday on charges that he was screaming, waving his arms and playing loud music on a portable stereo.
"I have to be loud to get people to listen," Mr. Hassig allegedly told the officers, making particular reference to the Watertown Daily Times. He has said he feels the Watertown media market doesn't give him the attention he deserves. The officers charged him with disorderly conduct.
(Side note: Arresting Don Hassig for disorderly conduct would be like arresting the Cookie Monster for mashing sweets into his face. I haven't witnessed any of his activity. A reader points out that he's been arrested on harassment charges — one time allegedly grabbing a home-health care worker, another time on gun charges. But videos of him at the state Capitol, for example, show nothing more extreme than trance-like dancing. Is it the man or the medium?)
He's on the ballot in the race against Rep. Bill Owens, D-Plattsburgh, and Republican Matt Doheny.

Thousands of people have complained about acai berry weight loss products. They "bit" at the offer to try a free sample, and gave the company their credit card number for shipping and handling fees. Unfortunately, the company also charged them for several months worth of products. And when those consumers tried to cancel their orders, they couldn't reach the company.
Be careful about responding to pop-up weight loss ads on the internet too. Sometimes the only thing that gets lighter is your wallet.

Chug 2 Beers In 2 Seconds With The Bierstick
Now I love drinking beer just as much as the next raging alcoholic whose BAC can't drop below .12 (think Speed, but with less bus and more cirrhosis), and definitely took my share of beer-bongs and shotguns in college. But a time comes in every man's life when it's time to settle down and drink beer out of a glass instead of a plastic funnel or the side of a can you've punctured with your car keys. So I'm gonna have to pass on the Bierstick. It's a device that allows the user to drink up to 24 oz of beer in less than two seconds. You just pour the beer in, push the end against a wall (or a scantily clad chick's chest -- picture after the jump!) and slam into it when you're ready to shoot beer out nose. Each stick will set you back $20 but guarantees you'll be the life of the sausage party.
And since it's Friday and you've all been good this week, a picture of two hot chicks in their bras using the thing after the jump. Also, I added a few videos of people using similar devices (which appear to be paint sticks) as evidence that it does it fact make you look like you're going to town on a monster beer-filled dong.

Well.. honestly, this is something that you will just have to determine for yourself. If you do hand drawing and make long sweeping strokes, then likely the bigger one will work better for you. Since all I draw are maps and the occasional (bad) creature attempt, I don't do that long a stroke most of the time. Personally, I have a Bamboo Fun medium (6x8 in), but I bought my wife a smaller one(umm is it 4x6 in????) and have used it once or twice and found it too small(or perhaps I am just so used to my bigger one!). Personally, for me, I would not want anything larger than what I use because I use on a laptop and it's nice to be able to carry around in a bag, but again, that totally depends upon your situation.
I have been eyeing an Intuos, but I just can't justify the expense with as little time as I get to spend on mapping for the past year or two(not to mention not having the money).
Ultimately, I would say any tablet is better than NO tablet, so if you have lot's of projects you are working on and it would take you a year to save up for an Intuos, i would say get a Bamboo NOW if that's what you can afford.

Comments: These shoes have everything you need on trail running shoes, no more, no less. It's a minimalist design with just the right amount of cushion but a standard heel-to-toe drop. Just what I was looking for. Love these shoes!From: J, NYC, NY, USA
Comments: These used to be my favorite shoe, but I couldn't get them to last more the 200-250 miles and I'm a pretty light guy. They are comfy however and have good arch support with plenty of cushion for races from 10 miles to 50K. I did a 50 miler in them and they held up pretty well. If you don't mind spending $90 every 200 miles, then go for it!From: Korey, Ashland, Oregon
Comments: You will love this shoe if you like a shoe that is light, sheds water like crazy, and doesnt last long... mine started to go downhill after 200 miles...From: Paulo, Sacramento, CA
Comments: I really like this shoe with the caveat that the midsole feels completely dead for me after 350 miles. The first 200 miles felt great even on the roads. This pair is now delegated to trail-only duty, which is a pain considering that I need to run roads to get there. The outsole will long outlast the midsole. Love the upper -- every shoe should have such an elegant design. Wish these had Nike Zoom in the forefoot to extend the life.From: Chris, Boston, MA, USA
Comments: I am a big fan of this shoe. I usually run in the 0-4mm drop minimalist category, and sometimes barefoot. Before shedding the cushion, the Mountain Masochist was my go-to trail shoe (and I still keep a pair handy for long mountain runs). I bought this shoe specifically for trail ultras. The cushiony midsole and lugged outsole are somewhere between springy and squishy on asphalt, but once you hit the trails, the shoe's platform is stable and responsive--great for moving fast on technical single-track. Looking forward to wearing these on my upcoming 50-miler.From: Chas, Cornelius, NC
Comments: Bought the Fly's specifically for a 50K race run on a grassy, rolling 5K cross-country course (10 laps). The grip was perfect and the light weight made the last laps a lot easier. It being my forst ultra, I was suprised that the shoes made my feet feel so great, even after running in the heat and humidity. A great shoe for trail running if the surface is right (puddles of mud will make this shoe slippery). A+From: Erik, Dallas, TX, USA

On Tuesday was the last in a series of forums that allow voters to meet the OPS board candidates and ask them questions. This round of the events, sponsored by The World-Herald and the Greater Omaha Chamber of Commerce, covered Subdistricts 7-9.
Don't know what district you're in? Need to find your polling place? Go to www.votedouglascounty.com and fill in the "find your polling place" box.
* * * * *
Voters in the Omaha Public Schools district will decide the makeup of a new nine-member school board, starting with the April 2 primary election. Each subdistrict has at least three candidates in the nonpartisan races; only two in each subdistrict will advance to the May 14 general election. To find more information about the candidates and the election, go to omaha.com/ops.
Subdistrict 7: Sex ed, standardized tests
How much sex education is enough — and how much standardized testing is too much — were among the questions tossed at school board candidates in subdistrict 7 Tuesday night.
An audience member at the Norris Middle School forum asked candidates their opinion of Legislative Bill 619, which would require public schools to provide more comprehensive education about sex and sexually transmitted diseases.
Andy Allen, a computer technician for Lockheed Martin, said that should be a local decision.
"Our schools need to reflect what our local community needs and what are morals and ethics here are," he said.
He said he would ask experts, including the County Health Department, for recommendations before deciding what more could be done.
Danyelle Baratta, a "program navigator" for the reEnergize program, said STD rates are "concerning."
"My feeling on sex education in the schools is that we should provide more education rather than less," she said.
Education should go beyond abstinence to prepare students for what they will deal with in relationships, how to protect themselves, "that they own themselves and that they can say no," she said.
Katie Underwood, engineer for Olsson Associates, said: "I do think that the more information the better especially for our students who don't get some of this information at home."
A teacher in the audience expressed concern that standardized testing threatens to crowd out the artistic aspects of teaching.
Allen said, "You've got to have some way of judging, are kids progressing, are they learning."
But with state and federal demands for testing "you're in a position where you're preparing kids to take the next test. That is a problem."
Underwood said "tests are a necessary evil."
"I don't agree with teaching to the test. I think that there needs to be a supportive classroom setting for kids success. And hopefully out of that comes good test results so we have measurable data to build on."
Baratta said tests "are tools to tell us where our students are at a particular time."
But tests should make sense, and questions should be designed to elicit useful information, she said.
A questioner wanted to know the candidates' views of teachers unions and the ways the district evaluates teacher performance.
Baratta said she supports collective bargaining and that teachers should have a voice in how evaluations are designed.
"Obviously there has to be some sort of evaluation process, but it needs to serve the purpose of what we're trying to do," she said. "I don't think we can say test scores are a good single evaluation method."
Allen said the OPS teachers union has been a benefit to the district, providing fair representation to their members and helping teachers get better.
He said the union had not been "overbearing" in negotiating contracts.
Underwood called the union "strong and well-represented" with a mission of educating kids.
Evaluations must take a "multi-pronged approach," she said.
"There should be input from the parents, students, other teachers as well as self-reflection. I think when you ask someone to evaluate themselves, you get a really good result, and goals for teachers can be developed out of that." — Staff writer Joe Dejka
Subdistrict 8: Raising student achievement
Teaching is job No. 1 for any school district. With nearly 50,000 students, that job looms particularly large for the Omaha Public Schools.
Six candidates seeking to represent Subdistrict 8 on the Omaha school board all had a slightly different take Tuesday on what the district needs to do to raise student achievement. The candidates spoke at a forum at Bryan High School.
Lacey Merica, a Bryan graduate who now works as a claims adjustor, said the district needs to ensure an equitable distribution of resources among schools and make sure students come ready to learn.
"We need to focus on individual student achievement and not just teaching to the test," said Merica, who has worked for State Sen. Heath Mello.
Mark Walenz, chief engineer for a midtown hotel, said the district needs to work with parents and the community, including programs such as Avenue Scholars that help students transition to college and careers. It needs to encourage them "in whatever they want to do," said Walenz, who also teaches classes in heating and air conditioning.
Meg Cordes, an associate nurse manager at the Nebraska Medical Center, said it's "important to challenge all students at whatever levels" they're at. Three of her four sons have graduated from Bryan. The oldest was the class valedictorian but entered college with fewer college credits than many of his peers.
William Forsee, a retired biology teacher who spent five of his 37 years in teaching at Burke High School, once taught a freshman there who had advanced despite not knowing how to read. Addressing such lapses will help, said Forsee, who served two years on the Metropolitan Community College Board. So will early childhood education.
Juliana Garza, who has spent 12 years in education programs for the Latino Center of the Midlands, said the district needs to establish a "clearer path" to let service providers in mental health and other areas come in to schools and to get parents more engaged.
Eugene Hoffmann, who retired with 37 years' active and civilian service with the Air Force, said the district first needs to define what students should achieve. Then it needs to identify the kind of degree they can earn. In his high school in New York, students could graduate with different degrees based on their career paths.
The candidates also were asked to outline how they see the board's role. Most said the board should set policies for the superintendent to carry out. But an audience member also asked how the candidates would measure their success if elected.
Garza said the best role she could play would be as an advocate for families. "To me, the most important thing is to listen," she said.
Hoffmann said his measure would be that every student received a diploma or a GED equivalent.
Merica said her indicators of success would include whether students are meeting their goals and whether the board is getting engagement and feedback — and how much such measures improved.
Walenz said his measure of success would be that students are meeting the goals the district sets and that the public is confident in the direction the board is setting.
Cordes said she would gauge her success by whether students are achieving what they're meant to achieve, teachers are impacting students and families are engaged.
Forsee said he would work to expand dual enrollment programs, as he did on the Metro board. "I think we're underserving our students," he said. — Staff writer Julie Anderson
Subdistrict 9: Learning Community's value, charter schools
A scheduled four-person forum turned into a two-person debate at South High School on Tuesday.
Two of the four Omaha school board candidates in Subdistrict 9 showed up.
But incumbent Sarah Brumfield and challenger Bill Gaughan differed on a few issues facing OPS, including how to expand science and math class time, the Learning Community's value, charter schools and whether students should have to maintain a minimum grade-point average to participate in extracurricular activities.
Both candidates agreed that OPS should change its curriculum to include more classes about science, technology, engineering and math, or STEM, so kids are prepared to enter those career fields.
To make more time for the STEM courses, Gaughan said, OPS should consider giving less time to art or theater.
"I'm not sure theater is going to get kids where they want to be in life," said Gaughan, who studied journalism and communications in college and is retired from the phone company.
Brumfield, who has been on the board since January, said she would look throughout the school day to find time for more STEM courses or might extend the school day.
Taking classes such as theater or other non-STEM courses can help students in other ways, she said. "It makes you a better person as a whole to have other things in your life," she said.
Earlier in the forum, both candidates said OPS should look at having a longer school year.
On the Learning Community, Gaughan said it's an additional resource for OPS teachers and helps the district. "The Learning Community, No. 1, has done a superb job in trying to help OPS," he said.
The Learning Community is an educational cooperative created by state lawmakers to improve academic achievement by disadvantaged kids in Douglas and Sarpy Counties and part of Washington County.
Brumfield said the government entity is a good concept but could be improved. "I don't think it's being enacted the way it should be," she said.
All parents should have the right to send their children to charter schools, Gaughan said.
A recent effort to establish Omaha charter schools failed in the Nebraska Legislature.
The schools would have been chartered by the State Board of Education and operated outside local school board control. They would have received public funds from the students' home districts.
Brumfield said the metro area could expand its school choices even more instead of allowing charter schools.
An audience member asked the candidates what they thought of making students maintain a minimum grade-point average to participate in extracurricular activities. A board committee discussed the idea Monday.
Brumfield said she favored it. Currently, she said, some OPS students could have about a D average and still participate.
"They're not putting in the extra effort needed," she said.
Gaughan said some students might be doing their best and but still might not meet a minimum grade-point average.
"I don't think that's fair to kids," he said. "That's asking a little too much."
About 25 people attended the forum. — Staff writer Jonathon Braden
