Komen for the Cure: Planned Parenthood funding to continue
In a reversal of their controversial decision, Susan G. Komen for the Cure, the nationally-renowned breast cancer charity, will continue funding breast cancer screening grants to Planned Parenthood.
A statement released by the foundation Friday morning apologized for decisions that were made that they say cast doubts on their mission of saving women's lives.
"The events of this week have been deeply unsettling for our supporters, partners and friends and all of us at Susan G. Komen," the statement read.
Backlash against the organization reached a fever pitch earlier this week after it announced they would be halting grants, which totaled more than $680,000 in 2011, for Planned Parenthood affiliates who offered breast cancer screenings.
The organization continued to decline that their move was politically motivated as the outcry grew. In the wake of the move, Planned Parenthood received nearly $400,000 from 6,000 donors in the first day after the announcement was made.
"I think women will get the services they need, and that are expected," said Springfield, Va. resident Lori Morrow.
In the statement, Komen for the Cure says it will preserve Planned Parenthood's eligibility to apply for future grants.
Many of Komen's affiliates across the country had openly rebelled against the decision to cut the funding, which totaled $680,000 in 2011.
One affiliate, in Aspen, Colo., had announced Thursday that it would defy the new rules and continue grants to its local Planned Parenthood partner.
In addition, Komen was inundated with negative comments via emails, on Twitter and on its Facebook page. Many of the messages conveyed a determination to halt gifts to Komen - organizer of the popular Race for the Cure events -because of the decision.
"I think that Planned Parenthood should be de-funded by the federal government," says D.C. resident Cynthia Butler. "I think they're a lot of deception and ruses going on."
Planned Parenthood's president, Cecile Richards, thanked those donors Friday and welcomed Komen's change of heart.
"We are enormously grateful that the Komen Foundation has clarified its grantmaking criteria," Richards said. "What these past few days have demonstrated is the deep resolve all Americans share in the fight against cancer."
Through the Komen grants, Planned Parenthood says its health centers provided nearly 170,000 clinical breast exams and more than 6,400 mammogram referrals over the past five years.
Komen, in its statement, said it was immediately starting an outreach to its affiliates and supporters to get the charity back on track.
"We urge everyone who has participated in this conversation across the country over the last few days to help us move past this issue," Komen said. "We do not want our mission marred or affected by politics - anyone's politics."

MVP Tournament Blog from Greg Bastis
wpjohn2 - 6/14/2008
By Greg Bastis
Whenever you spend the better part of two months planning a trip, there is a sense of impending doom in the final days leading up to departure. When planning your trip happens to involve 25 high school lacrosse players, three coaches, two flights, three bus services, a hotel, and a New Jersey state university, those final days are trying. Just ask my girlfriend. She hasn't slept for the better part of a week, thanks in large part to the "energy" I've been putting out in bed. No, not like that. The weekend of June 12 – 15 has been circled on my calendar since December, and with every passing day the stress becomes more and more apparent. The question always remains – "What have I missed?"
The MVP Lacrosse Tournament (hosted at Rutgers University) draws 40 of the top high school club and varsity teams from around the country, all vying for a shot at the MVP Tournament Title (sorry, no prizes given out due to NCAA restrictions), and most importantly the opportunity to showcase their top talent to nearly 100 college coaches. The list of recruiters in attendance is a virtual "Who's Who" of the lacrosse world – head and assistant coaches from the top Division I, II and III schools – all of them licking their chops at the opportunity to seal in a few Blue Chips, Top 100 players, or discover some untouched gems from non-traditional teams and regions. Frankly, it is tournaments such as MVP that illustrate the degree and pace with which lacrosse is growing nationally.
Back in my day (just under a decade ago), the recruiting process was fairly simple. Play well in your high school league, become an All-County, All-State or All-America player. Become a selected member of your state's Super Junior squad. Attend Top-205 and Champ Camp. Add Water. Get into college.
It is astounding to see the difference in landscape in 2008 compared to 1999. For starters, take a look at any tournament entry pool - the traditional hotbeds are represented in large majority (as one would assume), with teams such as the Baltimore Crabs, Tri-State, Competitive Edge, Penn Charter, LI Storm (just to name a few) garnering most of the votes for early odds favorites. But they are no longer alone. Team Carolina, Tampa Bay Fire, S. Ohio Bucknuts, Burning River and ICON Lacrosse (Colorado) represent a demographic noticeably absent ten years ago, all ready to stake their claim to lacrosse glory and a spot on one of the growing number of NCAA rosters. And why shouldn't they?
Those states – Ohio, the Carolinas, Florida and Colorado – have been producing phenomenal collegiate athletes for years, mostly in football, wrestling and basketball. With about 1 – 5% of the national high school football and basketball players who will earn a college scholarship, WHY NOT try a sport that applies the same athletic principles while offering a better chance (even if only slightly so) at earning your way into college through athletics? The field has broadened not only in response to this question, but with respect to the transplantation of East-Coasters – guys like myself who grew up loving the sport in our New York, New Jersey, Maryland and New England towns and are ready to pass the torch. So here we are back together at the Genesis, leading teams from all over the country, hoping to share the same opportunities we all had with players from states just discovering the great sport of lacrosse. It is a beautiful thing.
So as for the stress, luckily things have been smooth thus far – no major delays in flights, no NYC traffic fatalities, and the dorms at Rutgers are actually air-conditioned (didn't have that at Champ Camp '99). Which I guess leaves us with nothing left to do but play our first game of the weekend – a match-up against Competitive Edge that will certainly give our ICON Colorado boys a taste of Philly lacrosse. What better way to get things started?
Back later with more…

U.S. Department of Transportation Office of Public Affairs Washington, DCwww.dot.gov/affairs/briefing.htm
FMCSA 15-02 Friday, August 09, 2002 Contact: Dave Longo Telephone: 202-366-0456
U.S. Transportation Secretary Norman Y. Mineta today announced a Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) final rule establishing pass/fail criteria for use with performance-based brake testers (PBBTs). These devices measure the braking performance of commercial motor vehicles (CMVs).
The final rule allows motor carriers and federal, state and local enforcement officials to use this new technology to determine whether a truck or bus complies with brake performance safety standards. PBBTs are expected to save time and their use could increase the number of CMVs that can be inspected in a given time. The final rule represents the culmination of agency research that began in the early 1990s.
"We need to take advantage of new technology to help reduce the number of fatalities related to truck and bus crashes," Secretary Mineta said. "This new safety technology can help prevent crashes by ensuring that trucks and buses have sufficient braking capacity."
A PBBT assesses vehicle-braking capability by measuring brake forces at each wheel or by measuring overall vehicle brake performance in a controlled test. This final rule means that certified roller dynamometers, breakaway torque testers, and flat-plate testers, all of which measure brake force, can be used to measure brake compliance and help determine whether a truck or bus's brakes comply with Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSR).
"By making it possible to check more trucks for bad brakes, PBBTs will save lives and help ensure that our sons, daughters, mothers, fathers and other loved ones reach home safely each day," FMCSA Administrator Joseph M. Clapp said. "This is an example of the kind of technology that can help us reach our goal to reduce truck- and bus-related fatalities by half by 2010."
Only PBBTs that meet specifications developed by the FMCSA can be used to determine compliance with the FMCSR. Today's rule does not replace existing brake performance requirements, but provides an alternative testing method to the little used 20-mph stopping-distance test that requires a testing site with adequate space requirements.
Under the FMCSA specifications, a PBBT manufacturer self-certifies that its PBBT meets specifications and also states which specifications, if any, its PBBT does not meet. A PBBT that is certified to meet FMCSA specifications is eligible for funding under the Motor Carrier Safety Assistance Program (MCSAP). The MCSAP is a federal program administered by FMCSA, to provide funds to States and U.S. territories in support of CMV safety. This means states and territories may use MCSAP funding to purchase PBBTs for use in CMV brake inspections.
The new rule applies to all CMVs and CMV combinations weighing over 10,000 pounds, and is effective on Feb. 5, 2003. The six-month period from publication of the final rule until its effective date is intended to allow time to establish standard test procedures, operator training, and brake repair guidelines.
The new rule is today's Federal Register. It also is on the Internet at http://dms.dot.gov . The docket number for the final rule is FHWA-1999-6266.

Thomas began recording music when he was 10 years old and started his first album at 15. By age 17, he had his own radio show. He's on the air at 6 a.m. each Sunday promoting the contemporary Gospel hour on West Virginia Radio Corp.'s WRVZ, 98.7 The Beat.
So, DJ was added to his list of accomplishments. He is also a drummer and pianist.
His latest album, entitled "Changes," was released this year with songs like "True Praiser Hustle Hard," "Gave Me Life," "Changes," and "I Praise Your Name." He writes his own songs and is currently working on a third album.
"I am an independent artist associated with Shackles Free Entertainment," he said. "I recorded 'Changes' with Jermaine Robinson at his studio in Raleigh, N.C. I've been on the Changes tour for the last four months."
While Thomas is happy to invest time in his music, he also has his eye on a college education. He left high school to pursue his musical career but eventually earned his GED. He now hopes to enroll in college and earn a business degree.
He wants young people to be aware of the importance of education and to stay in school.
"We all make mistakes," he said. "At the end of the day, education is the key."
He realizes that any accomplishment comes from faith and trusting God.
"God blesses a humble heart," he said.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. - A former candidate for public office has been arrested for the second time in five months, this time on charges of trying to intimidate a witness who happens to be the sheriff of Clay County.
Police said Hiram Carson Lewis, 41, of Procious, threatened Clay County Sheriff Randy Holcomb, who is a witness against him regarding charges from June. In those charges, Lewis is accused of shooting a man on his property.
Lewis, a Republican, waged unsuccessful bids for state attorney general in 2004 and U.S. Senate in 2006.
State Police arrested Lewis Friday and charged him with intimidation of, and retaliation against, a witness.
Lewis allegedly went to Holcomb's camp in Procious on Oct. 28 and asked Holcomb to have county prosecutors dismiss the June charges. He threatened legal action against the sheriff's department over his arrest and said he might sue Holcomb personally as well, according to a complaint filed in Clay County Magistrate Court.
He pointed out that Holcomb and Trooper B.E. Young, who filed the complaint, were the only witnesses remaining in the matter. The other officer involved, Cpl. Marshall Bailey, was killed in the line of duty in August.
Lewis allegedly told the sheriff he believed Bailey's death was because of "spiritual wrongdoing done to him," according to the complaint.
Lewis was arrested in June after shooting Stephen Bogart in the leg. Bogart was entering Lewis' home when he was shot.
Bogart told troopers he had been living in the home, showing belongings and documents inside as proof. Lewis denied that Bogart lived in the home.
Lewis was free on bond Monday in the latest incident

My avatar is from Deadman Wonderland. Minatsuki Takami.
It's much better now. Thank you for your concern. <3
hello sunnyside
Is it okay if I leave the fate of Jillia to you? I just kind of lost the will right now. After all the long periods of not being able to post, it felt like I didn't know my own character anymore, know what I mean? I want to RP again in the future though, and I mean regular posting and all. ^_^ I hope everything's doing well.
so what anime do you like?
Hi, sunny. Just dropping by to see how things are. I haven't browsed through the RP section but I have read your PM. Which means, I don't know what's up with Jillia at this moment. Anyway, I can't say yet if I'll be regularly on here. About WH40K, nope I'm not into it. xD It's just something I picked up from a book I've read ages ago. How's things?
hi nice to meet you
Why thank you ^__^
I honestly don't know, sunny. I still want to RP but I'm really blanked out right now. :O

Nintendo's Wii U Is Flashy--But Its Competitors May Be Flashier
Nintendo's Wii U device promises to truly reinvent the console-gaming scene. But rivals Apple and Sony are hot on its heels, promising similar, if not better, touchscreen innovations that will be on the market sooner. A look at the contenders for consoles of the future.
We like the Nintendo Wii U's novel premise, we really do [2]. Half embracing the new touchscreen tablet paradigm while at the same time mixing in huge motion-sensing controllers with on-TV video action just seems bold, crazy, and adorably weird. And yes, possibly game-changing. But it might be a doomed effort before it even launches. Wii U isn't due until some ill-defined moment in 2012, and Apple [3], Sony, and other competitors are touting very similar, if not far superior, efforts that are scheduled to arrive much sooner.
iDevices and the Apple TV
Hitting the news [4] now is a proof-of-concept game design from Firemint that links an iPad to an HDTV via an Apple TV and Apple's own AirPlay wireless technology. The game is top-seller Real Racing 2 HD, and the setup is simple: Your iPad hosts the game, with its touchscreen displaying ancillary data (real-time "telemetry," as it were) and settings options, and you use it to steer and control your race car. The game action itself is displayed on your big-screen TV through a $99 Apple TV.
That's a 10-inch tablet streaming two HD-resolution images (one at 1080p full HD), with sophisticated motion controls. Plus, unlike the Wii U's "tablet," you can take the iPad elsewhere, and use it for all sorts of non-gaming purposes.
Sure, the iPad costs more, Apple's gaming developer community doesn't necessarily have the chops that Nintendo can manage, and all this requires Apple's iOS 5 update, which isn't due until fall. But AirPlay will also be possible via the iPhone 5 and 2011's iPod Touch, and probably older gear, too, which brings the price down. And there are tens of thousands of games available in the App Store already.
Sony PSV
Sony's PlayStation Vita may have a silly name that sounds more like an energy drink than a gaming system, but it's an extremely powerful handheld that sports more computing power than the Space Shuttle (okay, all three shuttles, several times over). It has two touch-senstitve interfaces with one on its HD screen and one on its rear face.
This week the developers of role-playing game Ruin showed off [5] exactly how potent its skills are by showing the PSV continuing a game that was mid-play on a PS3 at exactly the same point, with all the surrounding goings-on from enemies and so on. Syncing happens via the cloud, and it's seamless.
It's not dual-screen gaming, but it's almost more powerful--you can simply pick up the action mid-game and take it with you from your spot on the sofa to wherever you need to be (imagining Dad has really put his foot down, and you have to get in the car to go visit Granny). And we know that current-gen PSPs can interact with a PS3 to act as controllers--so we imagine the PSV's ability to interact with a "mother" console would be even more sophisticated.
And don't forget OnLive--the upstart "non-console" gaming console that acts as a host for a game hosted on OnLive's servers somewhere else in the cloud. It works on TVs, computers and now iPads [6]--with clever touchscreen controls to replicate the more traditional keys-and-joysticks input that games use. This week OnLive showed a Bluetooth controller that connects to an iPad to replicate a joypad's functionality, meaning you could play a console game on your TV streamed via AirPlay...without a console. And you still get the benefits of all the other things an iPad can do.
We wish Wii U the best, but it may be arriving a little late--and a little underdressed--to the gaming party.

We all struggle, and life is tougher in the military.Thank them all for their service, but where´s the virtue in this story?...it only adds to the misery.
Long deployments are not a new thing. We routinely spent 9 months a year underway and that was with Reagan´s 600 ship navy.Our families weren´t so whiny then, though.
What´s new about this? My spouse spent 22 years in the Navy, much of it in the Med and Viet Nam in 7-9 month deployments.The grateful Government returns the favor by ignoring his widow´s claim for DIC for service related death benefits, and final expenses reimbursement for 14 months now..still waiting.
In the early ´60s, our sister ship the USS Betelgeuse (AK260) went into the yards and the yardbirds screwed up, causing additional months delay before going for an ORI. Meanwhile, we made all her trips to Europe as well as ours. We lived through it as have other crews.As SK3 on the USS Alcor AK-259
Good Gawdalmighty. Our "heroes" are turning into whiners and wimps? Try World War 2 you turkeys. Try World War 1 while you´re at it. "Heroes" my butt.
In the early 90´s, my brother spent several loooonnngg deployments on a nuclear sub, all without whining (I find my claustrophobic self looking for windows just thinking about it!). What is it with the milquetoasts that mothers and fathers are raising these days??!!!
I am a brat, and not having learned my lesson I enlisted. I promise you dependents ´whined´ just as much, there are just more public outlets.The short of it is spouse knows what´s coming and doesn´t like it and can´t do anything about it so some ´writer´ clucks about it to make a buck.
did a tour in Vietnam 72, then did a tour to Italy where I was always going somewhere where it would be reported that I died in a training accident, came home after 8 years. My mom & dad only saw me twice in that 8 years. I knew not to get married after I got a dear john letter during my Nam tour and a hate letter signed by over 300 classmates from high school... but hey I got spit upon by the hippies in San Francisco so all wasn´t bad. /s Off
Right on, #6, where, unless one was KIA or seriously WIA, deployments were for "the duration". Don´t forget 12-month ground combat deployments to Vietnam.In the late 70s we in the Navy´s Seabees routinely saw 8-month deployments and 6-month homeports. Really out of balance. But of course we were dealing w/ a global Cold War at the time.
I married A when he was still in the Navy, knowing there was a possibility, admittedly slight, that he could be deployed before the resignation of his commission became effective. If these wives didn´t want to risk long periods of separation they shouldn´t have married sailors.
I once heard a chaplain ask an unhappy sailor complaining about his "loss of liberty","When you went to the recruiter, was there a picture of a ship on the poster?"
While it´s true that recruiters will tell their prospects whatever they want to hear, it´s still also true that nobody holds a gun to their heads to make them sign on the dotted line. When you sign up in the Navy, chances are more than good that you´ll be spending some time on a ship of some sort. Ships don´t just take a Caribbean cruise and come back to port 2 weeks later. TheDad went to VN for a whole year, fergoonessake. Get over it.
Try the boomer wife life. 3 months at sea no contact excePt maybe a short 20 something word family gram 3 months at sea two and a half home for four years .or a fast attack in the med at the height of the Lybia episode that was supposed to be 5 months but became seven. No face book no email
Posters, think twice before using the broad brush. A carrier crew means 10,000, maybe 20,000 relatives -- not even counting relatives of CBG escort-ship crews. Poke around and you´ll find any opinion you want. Maybe even a web post put up during a down moment? Plenty of relatives and friends stand strong. And not every "complaint" [which just might be a correct observation that hey, it can be hard] means the source whines endlessly.Thanks to all for their service.[Full disclosure: son of a US Navy sailor; father of a CVN77 Plankowner; father-in-law to a 4-times-deployed 688-boat sailor.]
There is no draft, therefore it´s entirely your decision. However it´s also your right to complain; I just don´t want to hear about.
As Pres Obama continues to convert the military from a war fighting organization to a social justice organization you will see more people in the military playing the victim card. Tragically, someday a lot of good men and women are going to die unnecessarily because our military will not have the training or equipment it needs.
Same old story, different decade. We were issued the right to complain with our seabags. We exercised that right and then got on with the job. It will ever be the same and I am forever grateful that someone took over my watch when it was time to leave and that the will to serve is still strong, if painful for us and our loved ones.
My daughter is Army. She deployed to Iraq as one of the last units to do 15 month deployments. Groups that arrived after them got to leave before them, because deployments were changed to 9 months after that.My son is a Marine. He is going to deploy on a Navy ship soon, but we don´t know which one or for how long.Please don´t be so hard on our troops or their families. We NEED to know about the multiple deployments. We NEED to know if things are wrong.
Smile and a ´hand salute´ to #2.Remember "Family Grams" ? What were those - 20 or 25 words... and you got a whopping FIVE of them to cover a deployment.On my last WestPac, I received all of them. On the same day. As we were returning to San Diego.I´m glad the technology exists (emails, Facebook, etc) to the point where members of our Armed Forces can stay in touch - but these folks need to realize that they really don´t know how good they´ve got it.And as I ´complain´ about the ´Family Gram´ generation of the service, I know too well that the generation prior to mine were lucky to have any communications at all with their loved ones. "Deployments" in WWII could last years - that is, if you made it home alive.

Walking onto a car lot can feel like a train wreck in slow motion: At every turn you get a little more derailed, until finally you're off the tracks entirely and the dealership has what it wants: your entire bank account.
Part of the problem is the sheer number of variables involved in negotiating the sale: the price, the options, the financing, the monthly payment, maybe a trade-in. You should methodically research and consider every conceivable scenario before setting foot on a dealer's lot. Otherwise, dealers will do everything they can to tilt the transaction in their favor.
"They're looking at making money off you in stages," says Jeff Bartlett, deputy online editor for autos at Consumer Reports, "so it's important for customers to keep the stages separate and not lose track of what's going on."
To help you do that, we talked with several experts about the most common mistakes that car buyers make and what you can do to avoid them.
The goal is not to pull one over on dealers — they're hard-working folks trying to earn a living, too. It's about arming yourself with as much information as possible to make the best decision on what is for many people the second-largest purchase of their lives.
Buying Unnecessary Add-Ons
Some dealers might try to sell features they add on themselves, such as rust-proofing, VIN etching or fabric protector. Avoid them; they're unnecessary, Bartlett says. If the vehicle you want already has them, negotiate their cost down as much as possible. Research features you do want online and print out the information before heading to the dealer. Bartlett recommends pricing several different variations in case the dealer doesn't have the exact model you want. This can help avoid being up-sold to pricier models or to ones with features you don't need or want.
View Slideshow: 5 Things Your Car Doesn't Need
Not Enough Cross-Shopping
Many car shoppers focus on a few popular brands or models, to their detriment. "On average, people only shop about three vehicles," says Steve Witten, executive director of U.S. automotive research at J.D. Power and Associates. "If someone's shopping a midsize car, there are probably at least 10 different vehicles that would meet their exact specifications and needs," he says. In terms of safety, reliability and features, there are very few lemons for sale anymore. So don't get stuck on one brand and put blinders on about others because of old perceptions. Cast a wide net when comparing models online. Otherwise, you might miss a good value or overlook your ideal car.
Settling for What Is on the Lot
American car buyers are impatient. Only 5 percent special-order a vehicle through a dealer and wait for it to be delivered, according to J.D. Power. The other 95 percent either find exactly what they want on the lot, or settle for something that's not quite what they wanted. There's no reason to do that when making such a large purchase. If you're set on a specific model or feature that you don't see in stock, dealers can search nationwide inventories and have vehicles shipped from several states away, Witten says. They can also custom-order exactly what you want from the factory.
View Slideshow: Automotive Turkeys for 2010
Skipping the Test Drive
Consumer Reports' Bartlett hears family and friends complain about uncomfortable seats, poor visibility or a stiff suspension in vehicles they have just bought. It's because they did not perform a thorough test drive — if they did one at all. He recommends spending 30 minutes driving the car, entering and exiting the highway, taking it on roads like those you drive every day. Be sure to take competing models for a spin, too. "It will reaffirm that you made the best decision ever, or you might find that you like one of the other ones better," Bartlett says.
Focusing on the Monthly Payment
One of the first questions salespeople ask is, "So, how much were you looking to spend per month?" It's to your benefit not to focus on that number, because doing so can make the final price of the car a moving target. Adding "only $50 a month" to get leather and more power might sound tempting, but it will add thousands to the bottom line. Part of this goes back to knowing what you truly need or want. The other part involves negotiating the total price of the vehicle, not the monthly payment. Breaking up the buying process can help: Part one is choosing the car; part two is settling on a price; part three is financing. Be clear with the salesperson what you want to focus on for each step so you don't get sidetracked.

SARS Prognosis and Risk FactorsSARS can result in serious illness and medical complications that require hospitalization, intensive care treatment, and mechanical ventilation. The most recent numbers indicate that the death rate from SARS is higher than that of influenza or other common respiratory tract infections. Complications include altered lung function, polyneuropathy, and avascular necrosis. The overall death (mortality) rate from SARS is about 10%. Age is a risk factor and plays a large role in the prognosis. Patients under 24 years of age have a mortality rate of about 1% while those over 65 years of age can have a 50% or higher mortality rate. Other risk factors include patients with chronic hepatitis B infection, hepatitis from any cause, diabetes, lymphopenia, leukocytosis, and high cytokine levels early (first week) in the SARS infection.

Princeton makes great strides as improving school
Five years ago, Princeton Elementary School couldn't see itself rising to the level of excellence most schools hope for.
The school was performing so low on standardized tests that it was on a state watch list.
School officials said teachers had become too complacent, expectations were too low and students endured a non-productive learning environment.
Worse, the school was facing the loss of accreditation from Western Association of Schools and Colleges, which forced the school board to make big changes in its administrative and teaching staffs.
"The school was in real jeopardy," said Princeton Superintendent John Greene, who was part of the new structure. "It was a shock."
Without accreditation, the district stood to lose its federal financial aid funding, which makes up the majority of the school's revenue.
The accrediting commission cited a number of concerns, Greene said, including inadequate communication between teachers, administrators and school board members.
There was also an inconsistency in the way students were taught, and there was extremely poor alignment between the curriculum and state standards.
The school wasn't meeting state benchmarks, Greene said.
In 2007, only 18 percent of the school's second graders were proficient in English language arts and mathematics, according to state records.
That year Princeton Elementary scored 713 on its Academic Performance Index, the cornerstone of California's Public Schools Accountability Act of 1999, which measures the academic performance and growth of schools.
It was about a 30 point drop from the previous year.
Something had to change, Greene said, and it started with convincing the staff that students were entitled to a good education.
"In addition to safety and security, all students deserve quality teachers and leaders," Greene said.
By 2012, Princeton Elementary School had reached 834, slightly higher than the state target of 800.
"Change didn't happen over night," said Greene, at a training seminar at Glenn County Office of Education last Saturday. "It may seem like it did, but it really didn't."
What did change was the attitude that teaching isn't just a job, said lead teacher Dena Schmidt.
"Teachers make the difference," Schmidt said. "Teachers have to make a connection with kids and they have to be team players. They have to understand that teaching isn't an 8-to-5 job, and they have to think outside the box and not be afraid to take risks."
In addition to new or energized teachers, the district hired a new counselor, the first in the district, and adopted a new curriculum.
"When you are in program improvement, so many things need to change," said counselor Jada Correa. "But it takes awhile. It's not something that you can do in a year."
Eventually the school's culture began to change to one that accepted that all students can learn, officials said.
Princeton Elementary has approximately 84 students.
Of those, 64 percent are Hispanic, 29 percent are Caucasian and 6 percent are American Indian.
About 86 percent are low-income, Correa said.
One of the biggest changes at Princeton Elementary came with the selection of the California Treasures curriculum in 2010, which replaced a more rigid curriculum that generated controversy because it required teachers to teach specific material in a specific order and didn't meet district expectations.
The new curriculum provided teachers with goals and strategies rather than specific lesson plans and suggested a different approach for students with different reading proficiencies.
The new language arts curriculum, an energized staff and parent support has helped the school turn itself around, officials said.
In addition to increases in schoolwide API scores, the school for the first time began seeing a large jump in academic grown in all its subgroups.
English language learners jumped from 28 percent scoring at proficient levels to 42 percent by the spring of 2010.
Hispanic students jumped from 30 percent proficient to 56 percent and socioeconomically disadvantaged students jumped from 35 percent proficient.
By 2012, English language learners were 46 percent proficient.
Hispanic students were 56 percent proficient and socio-economically disadvantaged were 65 percent proficient.
About 85 percent of Princeton's Caucasian students were proficient.
"We may not have the highest API in Glenn County, but we are higher when it comes to our subgroups," Correa said. "We are pretty proud of that."
The most remarkable thing about improvement, Schmidt said, is that Princeton students know and understand what their school has accomplished in just five years.
"The students are very proud," she said. "They know how hard they have worked and it makes them want to continue to improve."

Barbara Tylla, Mike Shelby, Emily Mueller and David Geisler
"37 Postcards"
a comedy by Michael McKeever
A comedy filled with zany characters, but also with warmth and love of family—that's "37 Postcards," by Michael McKeever. The play is on stage February 28 through March 16 at the Racine Theatre Guild, 2519 Northwestern Avenue (Highway 38) in Racine.
After years of traveling and communicating with his family through postcards, Avery Sutton (David Geisler) returns with a pretty fiancée (Alicia Nelson) to the comforts of his well-to-do parents' home. He soon discovers that it's not as comfortable as he remembers. For starters, the house is sitting at a distinct angle and no one seems to mind. Then there's Avery's 97-year-old grandmother, Nana (Dawn Van Ess), who'd been presumed dead. She's been living in a small room right there all the while, quite alive and definitely kicking. Aunt Ester (Barbara Tylla) operates a profitable phone-sex business from the kitchen. Dog Skippy (Wanda Karpinski) didn't take off after all: he's been running wild on the property and fending for himself for the past couple of years. Oddly enough, Avery's parents, Evelyn (Emily Mueller) and Stanford (Mike Shelby), seem happily oblivious to the madness surrounding them. And that perplexes Avery. What is really going on here, beneath the surface?
"37 Postcards" is a new play, written in 2011, by Michael McKeever, an award-winning playwright, actor and designer living in south Florida. Earlier this season, the Racine Theatre Guild performed another comedy by McKeever, "Suite Surrender."
RTG Managing and Artistic Director Doug Instenes is directing "37 Postcards." The scenic designer is Sarah Hunt-Frank. Cast member Mike Shelby does double duty, heading the volunteer crew as production stage manager, with Bob Hansen calling the show as stage manager.
Performances take place over three weekends, from February 28 through March 16. On each weekend there are shows at 7:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, and at 2 p.m. on Sunday. In addition, there are Saturday matinees at 2 p.m. on March 8 (followed by a free talkback with cast and crew) and at 4 p.m. on March 15. There are 7 p.m. shows on Sunday, March 9, and Thursday, March 13. Ticket prices at 7 p.m. shows are $13 for adults, $11 for seniors (62 and older), and $8 for students (21 and younger). At all other times, tickets cost $17 for adults, $15 for seniors and $12 for students. Discounts are available to groups of 12 or more. This play is not recommended for children under 13.
The Racine Theatre Guild is a nonprofit community (volunteer-based) theatre now in its 76th season. The box office is open from 12 to 6 p.m. on weekdays and from 90 minutes prior to each curtain time through intermission. For reservations or further information, call 262-633-4218. Tickets may be ordered online at www.racinetheatre.org; however, discounts and coupons cannot be applied to online orders.

Astronomers have known about the northern Venus storm since 1979. Then, in 2006, the Venus Express spacecraft showed that the planet's southern pole is home to a much more violent and unpredictable vortex. Scientists who study Venus expected the southern storm to be a twin of the northern "dipole of Venus," because they're both apparently created by the same phenomenon: warm air from the equator moving to the poles, where it sinks and swirls. But further observations revealed that the southern storm, which had been a dipole (it had two eyes) when first seen, has now shifted into a massive singular vortex for reasons unexplained.

Linux Wins Nokia Award
If you have a Nokia cellular phone, use it to call your friends and let them know that Linus Torvalds won another award. On December 10, 1997, the Nokia Foundation granted its 1997 Award to Linus Torvalds, one of the world's most famous young Finnish researchers in the area of information technology. The award is worth FIM 50,000 (about $9400 US).
Nokia's press release stated that Linus' inspiring example for young researchers was of special interest in his selection. I don't think this comes as a surprise to those of us who have been members of the Linux community for the past few years, but it is nice to see such recognition from a foundation established by a large company.
The Nokia Foundation, established in 1995, supports the development of information and telecommunications education and technologies in Finland. In addition to the award presented to Linus, the Foundation granted more than thirty scholarships and one fellowship to further individual and institutional development at Finnish universities.
At the Grant Holder Announcement event, Nokia President and CEO Jorma Ollila emphasized the importance of education, research and development in maintaining the competitiveness of the Finnish telecommunications industry. Ollila discussed the need to complement study time with practical applications: "If we could shorten the study time by one year, for example, and spend that time on effective research and development work, we would remarkably strengthen our national competitiveness." Obviously, the Nokia Foundation believed that combining graduate studies with the creation of an operating system that is used around the world was a pretty good example of these principles.
Congratulations, Linus.
As we all know, there is a lot more to Linux these days than research. December 19, the movie Titanic opened. If you read last month's Linux Journal, you know that a herd of Digital Alpha computers running Linux were used in the production of the film. While Finland isn't getting a big kickback from the box office receipts, Mr. Ollila is certainly right that research can make a difference.
Linux is doing a lot more out there than making movies. The Linux Means Business columns we run each month offer detailed looks into how government, business and industry use Linux. Another less detailed resource is a web page put together by Mercury Information Technology, Inc. This is a page dedicated to Linux business applications. What you find there are companies like Sony, Mercedes-Benz, Cisco Systems and Fluke as well as the companies you regularly see in the pages of Linux Journal.
This page is a great resource and M-tech has agreed to our mirroring it on the business connection link of the Linux Resources page (http://www.linuxresources.com).

Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

If you already use virtualized infrastructure, you are well on your way to leveraging the power of the cloud. Virtualization offers the promise of limitless resources, but how do you manage that scalability when your DevOps team doesn't scale? In today's hypercompetitive markets, fast results can make a difference between leading the pack vs. obsolescence. Organizations need more benefits from cloud computing than just raw resources. They need agility, flexibility, convenience, ROI, and control.

LeBron on His New Shoe: The LBJ VII
On the new VII's and how they compare to previous shoes:
"It's not simple, but it is simple. It's not simple for us, but for the guys who make it it is simple. The flywire all around and it makes the shoe, lighter and hold up for better wear and tear over the course of the season and the lighter the shoe the better. The full airbag gives it that comfort throughout the whole foot, not just the back of the foot or the heel or the front or the middle, so that technology – that technology that we have at Nike has given us options, has given us a way to create a shoe that we're going to see a lot of shoes follow it. "
I like the LBJ VII's but I don't think I will be purchasing a pair. The reason is, for me, as a rec league basketball player about 10 years past his prime, and 5 years past a point where I could legitamately be proud of the type of shape I was in, all the technology that this shoe boasts isn't going to do for me what I need a shoe to do on the basketball court...allow me to play a full half - straight - without begging for a sub to allow myself to sit down, drink water, and talk my heart out of racing from my chest. Maybe Nike will develop that technology with the VIII's, but until they do, I'll have to leave the LBJ's on the shelf for a youngster to buy.

Alec Sommers took a deep breath and smiled before introducing himself to a group of people touring the Dacatoh Prairie Museum.
"My name is Alec, and I'll be telling you about the exhibits here in the Prairie Heritage room," he said.
Alec was among 34 sixth-graders from Roncalli to led parents, peers and the general public through the Dacotah Prairie Museum last week.
These students are in the museum's junior docent program, a partnership with the museum that trains Roncalli sixth-graders to assist with general tours at the museum, said sixth-grade teacher Rose Kraft said.
"This is the 19th year we've been doing this," Kraft said. "Through the program, we expose students to the local history, and they in turn expose it to others when they visit the museum."
The results of this exposure are two-fold. Not only are students learning and teaching others about local history, but students are also improving their public speaking skills.
"It's just an easy way for us to hit that standard," Kraft said.
Junior docents Gus Reede and Andrew Artz, as well as Alec, said the public speaking is the tricky part of the program.
"Knowing everything about your exhibit helps with that," Andrew said. "You have to practice at it."
Gus added, "once you have a couple groups come through, it's not as hard. And a lot of the people that come, you already know."
Students spent two weeks preparing for last week's tours. Each student was given the opportunity to choose a particular exhibit to learn about and give tours. Sherri Rawstern, Dacotah Prairie curator of education, said students will come back in the spring to give tours to area youth and the public.

The Muslim Council of Britain congratulates Boris Johnson for his election victory as Mayor of London. Mr Johnson takes over as Mayor from Mr Ken Livingstone, who led the city for the past eight years. Paying tribute to Mr Livingstone, Dr Muhammad Abdul Bari, Secretary General of the Muslim Council of Britain, said, "By all accounts, Ken Livingstone has once again put London on the map. It has become a great world city and he has done so by recognising and harnessing the dynamism of its cosmopolitan and multi-racial population." Writing to Mr Livingstone, Dr Bari said: "London's Muslims will not forget your staunch and unflinching support...you stood by us when slings and arrows were thrown our way by those who seek to divide us." In a letter to Boris Johnson, Dr Bari praised the Mayoral incumbent for his gracious victory speech and said " I hope you will agree with me that with the city's generous heart, coupled by its multi-racial dynamism, we can overcome those divisions and take the city to even greater levels of greatness. Your predecessor recognised this, and aside from the controversies, did much to ensure that Muslims were part-and-parcel of London life." During the election campaign, the Muslim Council of Britain initiated a series of campaigns to encourage voter participation and to raise awareness against the far right. It is disappointed that, despite an effort that involved an alliance across faiths and parties, the London Assembly now includes a member of the far right. Dr Muhammad Abdul Bari said "it is time for us to reflect on how, in this day and age, divisive and hateful parties can get a foothold in such an important institution. We must redouble our joint efforts to avert their influence or impact." A Celebration of Democracy Friday, 2 May, 2008, 1pm As the results of the local elections come in, the Muslim Council of Britain congratulates British Muslims for participating and making their contributions to Britain's democratic traditions. In the past, the Muslim community has had a higher number of non-registered voters than most communities. Given the large number of grassroots initiatives to encourage voter registration, and with high voter-turn outs reported in London, MCB hopes these elections will usher in a new era of civic participation amongst Muslims. Dr Muhammad Abdul Bari, Secretary General of the Muslim Council of Britain, said 'British Muslims have yet again reaffirmed their commitment to participation in the civic and political life of this country. We hope Britain's Muslim participation will help avert the rise of the far right. British Muslims should continue to engage in civic affairs by participating in councils, scrutinising our politicians and working for the common good. I congratulate all those who have won and hope all of our elected politicians work with all sections of society to create safe and harmonious local neighbourhoods. We are all presented with an opportunity to make a fresh start and help build a better Britain, kick-started from the grassroots." For the past few months, the Muslim Council of Britain initiated a range of initiatives to raise awareness and encourage British Muslims to vote. The MCB has worked with the Electoral Commission in a campaign to persuade Mosques and Islamic associations to initiate voter registration. The MCB has also worked with a range of faith and non-faith bodies to encourage voting and to raise local issues. For details, see: www.mcb.org.uk/vote2008 [ENDS] Notes to Editors: The Muslim Council of Britain is the UK's largest Muslim umbrella body with over 500 affiliated national, regional and local organisations, mosques, charities and schools. Media enquiries should be addressed to the MCB Media Office on 0845 26 26 786 or 07956 353 738. Email: firstname.lastname@example.com.
