It was a beautiful day for the 20th annual Luau and Longboard Invitational on Aug. 18, 2013 at Scripps Pier, which featured some of the biggest names in surfing teaming up with amateurs to raise research funds for the UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center. I'm not sure how much money was netted, but the mai tais were flowing, and the bidders were bidding! What a great group of people!
This year's Rell Sunn Award was presented to Kary Mullis. In 1993, Mullis won the Nobel Prize in chemistry for his invention of the polymerase chain reaction, considered one of the most monumental scientific techniques of the 20th century.
The event included an auction of one-of-a-kind prizes and entertainment by Hawaiian folk rock singer Anuhea and traditional Polynesian dancing from Heali'i's Polynesian Revue. For more information, visit longboardluau.org

"Welcome to KU. Where questions rest, in stacks of answers from the past. …" Listen to Topher Enneking, a spoken word poet and former KU football player, as he weaves the experience of KU and its traditions through this storytelling and wordplay performance. Learn more about KU traditions at http://www.ku.edu/about/traditions/. Welcome to KU. Where questions rest in stacks of answers from the past. Where dreams crawl out of bed And learn to walk Uphill both ways. Where freshmen stand on stilts And hang from the rafters, While the wheat waves In a fieldhouse Where the Phog rolls in Helping us to see Through the past into the future. Haunting hosts giving handouts in a heritage Too heavy to grasp til you add to it. So it may be born anew, Allowing our boots to stand in the ash of oppression's hate But shine bright as the sun While war cries of warriors past Ring in our ears long after their battles are won. Memorials telling time, "you don't have to stand still." Because the top of the world Is just up that Hill. Where our natural history is an awe-struck echo Of world's fair and equal Past, present and future, prelude and sequel. Where our flags fly above planes. Where we build in chalks that can't be erased. Stone edifices made to last So you would walk Past their doors, down their halls And let your voice fill their room. Because only in empty silence can destruction loom. So stand tall. Wrap your arms around this crowd Sing our alma mater and sing it out loud. Let your voice sing in chorus and reach other nations Beckoning new Jayhawks to spark new collaborations Because you are the mortar that will hold these walls upright. Your future Your dreams are why Jayhawks did fight For the tradition before you Was merely prelude For what will come next now that you're at KU.

Chip hip hooray! Idle fish shop owner wins award
7:00am Monday 17th February 2014 in News By Chris Tate, Aire/Worth Valley Reporter
The crispest, fluffiest chips in Yorkshire are lovingly made by a Bradford chippie, say national potato experts.
Towngate Fisheries in Idle was today named as winner of the county's "Best Chippy Chips" award by the Potato Council – for the second year running.
The Choice Chip Awards, run in recognition of Chip Week 2014 which starts today, reward the tastiest chips being served across the UK.
And customers of scientist-turned-fryer Mark Drummond (pictured) voted in droves to batter the competition and to ensure his perfectly cooked portions were crowned number one.
Physics and chemistry graduate Mr Drummond pays such attention to detail that the varieties of potatoes used and even the farms they come from are proudly on display in his shop He said: "We're delighted to be recognised as the best chips in Yorkshire."
And he proudly gave some clues to their repeat success.
He said: "Our chips are made only using the finest potatoes, usually Maris Piper, Markies or another variety grown specifically for making chips.
"Crisp on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside, they are thick cut chips as this creates a healthier product for our customers.
"We care about the provenance of our ingredients so every week we display the origins of our haddock and potatoes in our shop.
"When you visit you'll be able to discover what the variety of potatoes we are using, where they were grown and where the haddock was caught and by which trawler.".
And to give what he calls "that Yorkshire taste" the lucky spuds are properly dunked in pure beef dripping.
Some 63,000 chip lovers voted nationally for more than 630 shops and Stu Baker at the Potato Council, said: "Britain is truly a nation of chip lovers and Chip Week is a fantastic celebration of our great food tradition.
"It's no surprise so many voted in the Choice Chip Awards this year – the British public feel very strongly about their local chippy and are prepared to take the trouble to vote to put their favourite on the map."

Colts WR Reggie Wayne became the elder statesman in the team's receiving corps this season after Marvin Harrison departed in the offseason, and the role suited him just fine. He racked up 100 catches for 1,264 yards and 10 touchdowns for the AFC champions. The ninth-year veteran has had at least 1,055 yards each season since 2004 and he'll be a tough matchup for the Saints' secondary on Sunday. The New Orleans native spoke with reporters at Media Day on Tuesday and discussed Peyton Manning's place in history, the prospect of facing some of his college teammates in the Super Bowl and whether his roots in the Big Easy have led him to cheer for the Saints.
Q: Do you think Peyton Manning is the best quarterback in NFL history?
A: I don't know. That's up to you all. The only thing I can do is help build that foundation. He's definitely one of the best, in my mind. He puts in so much heart and hard work and preparation. He just wants to be a winner and whenever you have a quarterback that wants to win and do whatever it takes to win, you want him on your team. So I'll let you all decide if he's the best and what his legacy is but I guarantee you if we win Sunday it would make it a lot easier for the critics to say who is.
Q: How many Super Bowls would you like to win before your career is over?
A: The more the merrier. One thing about winning one is that you have to figure out a way to win another. It's kind of like tattoos, it gets a little contagious after a while. In this case, two is better than one, and after you get this one, three is better than two. It never stops. It works for infinity, so hopefully we can get this job done because we understand it's not easy."
Q: Have you had discussions with some of your former college teammates from Miami that are on the Saints?
A: I haven't talked to them yet. I'm sure I'm going to get a lot from them soon, but those are my brothers at arms and I'm looking forward to playing against them this Sunday. May the best team win.
Q: Has the offense changed much this season without WR Marvin Harrison?
A: It has changed, simply because now more attention is keyed on me. Now I'm seeing a lot more double coverage. I guess the grass isn't always greener on the other side. Every receiver wants to be the No. 1, but it comes with a lot of heartache, I must say. But I learned a lot from him and hopefully I can take that with me in this game on Sunday."
Q: What do you think of the Saints' defense?
A: They're a scrappy bunch. They play with a lot of intensity. Those guys seem like they always find a knack for punching the ball out and creating turnovers. A lot of that is on momentum with the offense. The offense really gets those guys fired up, so you really have to do a good job of disguising coverages, changing things around. Hopefully we can do what we've been doing, and that's make plays. The more plays we can make with them doing all the disguising, hopefully that can keep them sane a little bit and we can go from there."
Q: Are you still a Saints fan?
A: Deep down inside I'm still a Saints fan. Growing up in New Orleans, it's like you really have no choice. I've seen a lot of brown paper bags in my lifetime and just to see those guys where they are today is just outstanding, the things that they're doing for that city. A lot of times, coming home from church with my mom and sitting down with my dad, the game was blacked out and we had to listen to the game on the radio. I've seen Bobby Hebert, I've seen John Fourcade. I've seen so many names come through there. I remember Saturday night, getting ready for the game, wanting to see Eric Martin have a big game. So I'm a huge fan of the Saints. I always have been. It's going to be tough to take that away from them, but just to see what those guys are doing this year and the years prior to this, keeping that city together, keeping that city on the map, it's outstanding."
Q: Will the Saints' lack of Super Bowl experience affect them on Sunday?
A: It's been three years for us, so I guess you could say we don't have much experience either, so that's the beauty of it. With this game, it changes. You never know who's going to be there, so when you do get the opportunity to be there, you have to take advantage of it and hopefully it works out to your advantage.

ESFP in a Nutshell
ESFPs are vivacious entertainers who charm and engage those around them. They are spontaneous, energetic, and fun-loving, and take pleasure in the things around them: food, clothes, nature, animals, and especially people.
ESFPs are typically warm and talkative and have a contagious enthusiasm for life. They like to be in the middle of the action and the center of attention. They have a playful, open sense of humor, and like to draw out other people and help them have a good time.
What Makes the ESFP Tick
ESFPs live in the moment, enjoying what life has to offer. They are especially tuned into their senses and take pleasure in the sights, sounds, smells, and textures around them. ESFPs like to keep busy, filling their lives with hobbies, sports, activities, and friends. Because they'd rather live spontaneously than plan ahead, they can become overextended when there are too many exciting things to do. An ESFP hates nothing more than missing out on the fun.
Although they are characteristically fun-loving, ESFPs are also typically practical and down-to-earth. They are grounded in reality and are usually keenly aware of the facts and details in their environment, especially as they pertain to people. They are observant of others and their needs, and responsive in offering assistance. ESFPs enjoy helping other people, especially in practical, tangible ways.
Recognizing an ESFP
ESFPs are often the life of the party, entertaining and engaging others with humor and enthusiasm. They notice whether other people are having fun, and do their best to create a good time for all. Typically at home in their physical environment, ESFPs may take the lead in getting everyone involved in some active diversion. ESFPs are generally friendly and likable, but can be hard to get close to; although they tend to be very open, they are reluctant to be serious or to talk about anything negative.
ESFPs are tuned into their senses, and often gravitate towards pleasing colors and textures in their environments. They often carefully choose fabrics and decorations with which to surround themselves. This attention also often translates into their appearance; ESFPs are often dressed in sensuous fabrics or bright, dazzling colors. They are often up on the latest trends, and like to excite the people around them with new environments and experiences.
ESFP in the Population
ESFP is the third most common type among women, and the seventh most common among men. ESFPs make up:

What the Experts Say
"Among ESFPs are the students whose high school class voted them 'the friendliest' or 'the best sport.'"
- Isabel Briggs Myers, Gifts Differing
"Performers radiate warmth and festivity, and whether on the job, with friends, or with their families, they are able to lift others' spirits with their contagious good humor and their irrepressible joy of living."
- David Keirsey, Please Understand Me II
"So much a part of the ESFP is this fun dynamic that when something unpleasant cannot be converted to fun, or cannot be avoided completely, then it is time to simply drop the subject and move on to something different."
- Otto Kroeger, Type Talk at Work
At Work
ESFP at Work
At work, the ESFP wants to be hands-on and in the middle of the action. ESFPs prefer an active, social work environment where they are free to be spontaneous and have fun, with co-workers who are friendly, laid-back, and enthusiastic.
ESFPs are pragmatic, realistic, and tuned into the needs of others. They often choose a job that allows them to be of service to people, and where they can see real, tangible results for their efforts. They are talented at solving practical, people-centered problems, and can put this skill to good use in assisting others.
ESFPs are keenly tuned into their senses and often have an artistic streak. They may choose careers that engage their sensual nature through food, textiles, art, or music. ESFPs often want a career that allows them to move around, and generally prefer a work environment that is aesthetically pleasing.
ESFPs are stressed by strict rules or excessive bureaucracy at work, and want the flexibility to address situations as they arise. They generally focus on the demands of the present moment, and do not usually like to work on long-term projects, preferring work that has immediate and tangible results.
Popular Careers for the ESFP
Top careers for the ESFP include:
Least Popular Careers for ESFPs
It is important to note that any personality type can be successful in any occupation. However, some occupations are well suited to the natural talents and preferred work style of the ESFP, while other occupations demand modes of thinking and behavior that do not come as naturally to the ESFP. Occupations that require the ESFP to operate outside their natural preferences may prove stressful or draining, and often sound unappealing to ESFPs who are choosing a career.
The following occupations have been found to be unpopular among ESFPs, based on data gathered from surveys of the general population.
ESFPs as Leaders
In leadership positions, ESFPs are realistic, encouraging, and enthusiastic. Their strength lies in their ability to energize and motivate a team to address immediate goals and crises. ESFP leaders are keenly observant of the moods and behavior of other people, and typically use this perceptive ability to connect with their employees and provide them with what they need to succeed.
ESFPs are good at building consensus and mobilizing support, but prefer to present a positive image and maintain pleasant interactions rather than get involved in disputes. They can struggle with conflict on a team, and may shy away from making difficult decisions in favor of keeping things cheerful and light.
ESFPs prefer to problem-solve in the present and typically dislike long-range planning. They do best when leading a supportive and cooperative team to achieve short-term, concrete results.
ESFPs on a Team
ESFPs are fun-loving team members who bring a sense of humor to the process. ESFPs simply love socializing with people, and typically see teamwork as a chance to interact and engage in a lighthearted way. They may not seem particularly driven or task-oriented to their teammates, but they keep an eye out for the needs of others, and offer assistance and support in a practical, down-to-earth way.
ESFPs are at their best when they can work on immediate, practical problems, without having to be too serious about the task at hand. They are good at facilitating cooperation, and often have a talent for listening to all points of view on a team with an open mind. They often see the talents that others can contribute to a team, and with their engaging enthusiasm, can get other people motivated to contribute. ESFPs may be less effective on teams which are competitive rather than cooperative. They may experience friction with teammates that insist on being very task-focused and don't leave room for fun. ESFPs tend to lose interest in abstract discussions, and may have trouble with teams who spend a lot of time theorizing and little time taking action.
ESFP Communication Style
ESFPs are enthusiastic, light-hearted communicators. They often love just interacting with people, with no particular goal in mind, and tend to keep conversations fun and full of laughter. ESFPs are free with compliments and energy, and and often draw people in with their positive approach and ability to observe other people's needs. ESFPs are good problem-solvers when it comes to practical and interpersonal issues, but they tend to avoid negativity; discussions that turn to criticism or conflict will send the ESFP running.
ESFPs as Partners
In relationships, the ESFP is generous, friendly, sympathetic, and affectionate. ESFPs are eager to please their partners and motivated to create a fun, harmonious, and active home. They often enjoy family life tremendously and typically prioritize socializing with loved ones above all else.
ESFPs tend to avoid conflict and may have trouble being serious, preferring to move on with their active lives rather than have an uncomfortable discussion. They are tuned into the needs of the people around them, but prefer to do something constructive to take care of their loved ones, rather than spend time hashing out difficult issues.
ESFPs are supportive of their mates and try to take good care of their families, but can be impulsive as they pursue the pleasures of life. They may go where the wind blows and neglect to follow up on responsibilities. They are characteristically spontaneous and usually dislike a structured lifestyle.
ESFPs want a partner who supports them in their lifelong pursuit of fun and excitement. An ideal mate for an ESFP is affectionate and appreciative of the ESFP's generosity and desire to be helpful to others.
ESFPs as Parents
As parents, ESFPs are loving, affectionate, and fun, and usually like to have their households full of people having a good time. They may have many children, and are good at responding to their families' practical needs.
ESFPs may be a bit unpredictable or scattered, and will prefer to engage everyone in a fun activity rather than impose rules or discipline. They do not tend to take life seriously, and often consider it more important to provide excitement and fun than to create structure or stability for their children.

It was very honest and accurate, had done a test before and got the same result, it was many years ago. I have had many occupations and all involved being in direct contact with the public and always recieved excellant reports from people I have been in contact with. My managers were always happy with my reach to their customers and now I wish to write and achieve that goal I have wanted to write since I was a teenager, but felt I needed to experience life before I did so. This also is correct of the personality type. Thank You! On with the next endevour.
This is actually truly 100% me. After the test I was reading it and thinking to myself omg I cannot believe this, this is everything that I do. And when I looked in the work section I saw what I wanted to do for a job there. I was so happy. And the relationship part is so true. This is great ;)

Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair will speak this spring at Judson University's third-annual World Leaders Forum.
That news was posted Monday on Judson's website after it was announced to students and staff that morning in chapel, a day before the private Christian university had planned to publicly announce the keynote speaker for this year's forum.
Blair will follow Mikhail Gorbachev, the former president of the Soviet Union, who spoke last year; and former President George W. Bush, who spoke at the inaugural forum in 2011.
The 2013 World Leaders Forum will be April 12, according to the Judson website. It did not note the location of the event, but past forums have been held on the university campus at 1151 N. State St. (Route 31).
The annual event brings recognized world leaders to the Judson campus to "inspire and ignite a flame of leadership for all who attend," according to the website.
The event also supports the creation of an Entrepreneurship Studies program at the university.
Tickets to this year's event cost anywhere from $65 for general admission to $2,000 for a VIP reception that will include a photo opportunity with the former prime minister and a private address, "Leadership Insights: Faith, Power and the Post Modern World," according to the website. That money will go to the university's Entrepreneurship Studies Endowment Fund and Judson Student Scholarship Fund, it said.
Blair was prime minister of Great Britain and Northern Ireland from 1997 to 2007, serving a historic three terms in office, the website said.
He led public services reform, introduced a national minimum wage, oversaw the London 2012 Games bid, and was instrumental in the Northern Ireland peace process, it said.
He also was a strong supporter of the United States after the 2001 terrorist attacks and joined the U.S. in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
He now works to secure peace in the Middle East, improve governance in Africa and encourage understanding of world faiths, in addition to other causes, according to the Judson website. His best-selling memoir, "A Journey: My Political Life," was released in September 2010.
Judson officials told The Courier-News Monday they will release further details to the public about the forum on Tuesday.

U's were "reluctant" to change Swindon fixture
10:19am Tuesday 11th February 2014 in Sport By Jonathan Waldron
Colchester United say they were "reluctant" to agree to switching their game at Swindon Town at short notice.
U's fans have criticised the Football League's decision to change the club's match at the County Ground to this Friday night.
The League One clash had originally been scheduled for this Saturday (February 15).
But it has now been brought forward to Valentine's night (February 14).
For more on this story and all of the latest Colchester United news, including a full preview of the U's game at Port Vale tonight, see Tuesday's Daily Gazette.

Fans that favour rail accept that no-refund risk as regards weather rearrangements; but when it is to accommodate a fixture in which we have no interest; I reckon that here; Swindon Town should compensate the handful of traveling U's fans by the offer of a FREE match ticket.

I think we all know the answer to this.

Boris says...
With all the postponements that are still to come if this weather continues, fans are probably better off going by road rather than buying advance rail tickets.
ASnd what are the chances of the Swndon pitch being playable on Friday night, anyway? They have been getting worse weather down there.

CHESTERFIELD — An Anderson man was hospitalized Thursday after the truck he was driving left the roadway, smashed into a utility pole, a tree and a basketball goal pole before coming to a stop in someone's garage.
According to a press release from Madison County Sheriff's Department Major Brian Bell, 38-year-old Clifton D. Kreegar was taken by ambulance to Community Hospital Anderson with complaints of back pain after the accident, which happened in the 3300 block of East County Road 150 North.
According to the release, the accident happened at about 3 p.m., when the white 2000 Chevrolet S-10 driven by Kreegar left the roadway for an unknown reason. The truck was traveling east and continued off the north side of the road, colliding with and snapping a utility pole, striking a tree, a basketball goal and crashing to a stop into the garage of a nearby home.
On Friday, Bell said there was no update on the accident and the department is still investigating the cause.

GARLAND -- Mark Cox has been coaching football for 28 years.
"If you're going to stay in coaching, you better be an optimist," said Cox, the head coach at South Garland high school. "Sometimes what looks to be your toughest moments in coaching are your building moments."
His team had several building moments last year, his first with the Colonels, when they went 3-7. But they did build from there, going 6-4 in the regular season and making the playoffs.
But this season came with the biggest building moment of Coach Cox's life.
"You think, 'Oh, I can image what they feel like,'" said Cox's wife of 33 years, Lisa. "You cannot imagine."
Back in August, Mark Cox was diagnosed was colon cancer, just days before two-a-day practices were to begin.
"We were just getting ready for a new season," said quarterback Trey Porter. "It just sucked the air out the room. We didn't know what to say."
Cox had surgery and missed most of training camp and the first three games of the season -- the first three games he's ever missed.
"It's a lot easier to give a pep talk than it is to live a pep talk," Cox said. "And as coaches, we give it. But that's what this has done; it makes you take what you preach, and if you really believe it, you internalize it."
He's been back on the sideline since the fourth game of the season, but not at full strength. The bi-weekly chemotherapy saps him, but his players and coaches re-energize him.
"He loves the game of football, he loves being around us," said defensive tackle Charles Walker. "And with us helping him, plus his family, he has anyone to turn to if he's down or needs anything, or if he's down and needs to talk to somebody."
"The best medicine I get is being around our players and our coaches," Cox said. "That's kind of what I told them -- keep this thing going, because it's good medicine right now."
The longer the season goes, the longer coach Cox gets his medicine. And he got a big dose the first week of the playoffs, when South Garland came from behind to beat Rockwall-Heath.
"It's the reason he gets up every day, to go be with those kids," Lisa Cox said. "I think it's the best environment and I think it's a blessing that he is a high school football coach."
Cox is a former college quarterback who once threw six touchdowns in a game, and he's been a coach since 1981. A lifetime in sports has prepared him to fight the biggest battle of his life.
"It changes your outlook. Things that you used to think were problems, they're not problems, they're opportunities," Cox said. "So in that way, this has really -- it's kind of enriched me, I think it's enriched our players, and I think it's enriched our coaching staff."
"There are a lot of days, where as a player, you don't want to go in there and lift weights," said offensive coordinator Mikey Thompson. "You don't want to go out there and run, you don't want to go out and practice and hit each other for two-and-a-half hours, but you do it.
"You deal with your own personal adversity and that prepares you for dealing with other adversities in your life," Thompson continued.
"I tell our kids this all the time -- you'd rather live a life of meaning than a life of ease," Cox said. "And that's kinda how I feel about it."
That win for South Garland? It was coach Cox's first ever playoff win as a head coach.

The second-graders paraded to the Dumpster in the rear parking lot, where they chucked boxes of old work sheets, notebooks and other detritus into the trash, emptying their school for good.
Benjamin Banneker Elementary closed Wednesday as New Orleans' Recovery School District permanently shuttered its last five traditional public schools this week.
With the start of the next school year, the Recovery School District will be the first in the country made up completely of public charter schools, a milestone for New Orleans and a grand experiment in urban education for the nation.
It has been two decades since the first public charter school opened in Minnesota, conceived as a laboratory where innovations could be tested before their introduction into public schools. Now, 42 states encourage charters as an alternative to conventional schools, and enrollment has been growing, particularly in cities. In the District of Columbia, for example, 44 percent of the city's students attend charter schools.
But in New Orleans, under the Recovery School District, the Louisiana state agency that seized control of almost all public schools after Hurricane Katrina ravaged the city in 2005, the traditional system has been swept away.
The creation of the country's first all-charter school system has improved education for many children in New Orleans, but it also has severed ties to a community institution, the neighborhood school, and amplified concerns about racial equality and loss of parental control.
An all-charter district signals the dismantling of the central school bureaucracy and a shift of power to dozens of independent school operators, who will assume all the corresponding functions: the authority to hire and fire teachers and administrators, maintain buildings, run buses and provide services to special-needs students.
Of the Recovery School District's 600 employees, 510 will be out of a job by week's end. All 33,000 students in the district must apply for a seat at one of the 58 public charter schools, relying on a computerized lottery to determine placement.
Critics of the all-charter New Orleans model say it is undemocratic, because leaders of charter schools are not accountable to voters. They also say the system is challenging for parents, who have to figure out logistics that were not an issue when their children walked to neighborhood schools.
"They don't answer to anyone," said Sean Johnson, the dean of students at Banneker, whose father attended the school while growing up in the Black Pearl neighborhood. "The charters have money and want to make more money. They have their own boards, make their own rules, accept who they want and put out who they want to put out."
Advocates say the all-charter model empowers parents.
"We've reinvented how schools run," said Neerav Kingsland of New Schools for New Orleans, which promotes and supports charter schools. He is leaving the organization to try to export the model to other cities. "If I am unhappy with service I'm getting in a school, I can pull my kid out and go to another school tomorrow. I don't have to wait four years for an election cycle so I can vote for one member of a seven-member board that historically has been corrupt."
By most indicators, school quality and academic progress have improved in Katrina's aftermath, although it's difficult to make direct comparisons because the student population changed drastically after the hurricane, with thousands of students not returning.
Before the storm, the city's graduation rate was 54.4 percent. In 2013, the rate for the Recovery School District was 77.6 percent. On average, 57 percent of students performed at grade level in math and reading in 2013, up from 23 percent in 2007, according to the state.
Opinion surveys show support for charter schools but unease about the shuttering of all traditional schools, with just 41 percent of New Orleans residents backing the idea in a poll commissioned by the Cowen Institute for Public Education Initiatives at Tulane University in New Orleans. The changes also have been stirred racial tensions and claims of disenfranchisement.
"This is a depressed community," said Karran Royal Harper, an activist who has been trying to block the school closings. "People here don't really feel like they can coalesce and fight this."
In affected neighborhoods, news that Banneker and the four other traditional schools were closing was greeted with shrugs from residents who have grown inured to upheaval since Katrina.
"It's bittersweet, but what are you going to do?" asked Myra Jenkins, 31, as she picked up her 5-year-old twin boys from kindergarten at A.P. Tureaud Elementary, a school encircled in barbed wire. Built in 1939, the building's art deco features are scarred and shattered. Inside, a handmade sign peeling off a door welcomes visitors but misspells the school's name. The school received a "D" from Louisiana's A-to-F grading system in 2013.
Some residents were disheartened to learn of its closing. "This don't make no sense," said Derrick Williams, 45, who walked his great niece to kindergarten on a recent day. "Me and my sister, the whole family, the whole neighborhood went to that school."
A few miles away, 486 children attend the sparkling Akili Academy, a K-6 charter school. Akili, a "C" school, occupies the former William Franz Elementary School, in the Upper Ninth Ward, a building that underwent a $24 million restoration and expansion after Katrina. The school has a $250,000 grant from the Walton Family Foundation, established by the family that founded Wal-Mart.
"This is the most exciting city in the country for education," said Kate Mehok, the chief executive officer of Crescent City Schools, which operates Akili. She began her career with Teach for America and was a founding assistant principal at a KIPP charter school in Harlem. "Anytime you allow parents choice about where they can send their kids to school, it can only be good."
When Katrina struck in 2005, the public schools in New Orleans were considered among the worst in the country. Just before the storm, the elected Orleans Parish School District was bankrupt and couldn't account for about $71 million in federal money. There were just a few charter schools.
In the tumult after the hurricane, the state seized control of 102 of the city's 117 schools - the worst performers - and created the appointed Recovery School District to oversee them, while letting the Orleans Parish School Board run the relatively few remaining.
The Recovery School District closed failing traditional schools or turned them over to charter operators, never intending to reconstruct a traditional school system, said Patrick Dobard, the superintendent.
"We've had a clear plan in place," Dobard said. "We're going to create a new legacy, a new memory. We don't have to hold onto some of the things in the past that didn't work."
The recovery district is spending about $2 billion - much of it federal hurricane recovery money - to refurbish and build schools across the city, which are then leased to charter operators at no cost.
"The difference between now and pre-Katrina is that we're replacing schools that are not performing well," Dobard said. "We don't let children languish in chronically poor performing neighborhood schools. It was a system of haves and have nots. We passed those times in New Orleans and I'm glad we left those behind us."
After Katrina, the recovery district fired more than 7,000 employees - nearly all of them African American - while the charter schools hired scores of young teachers, many of them white recruits from Teach for America. The fired teachers sued for wrongful termination and won a judgment that could total more than $1 billion.
White students disproportionately attend the best charter schools, while the worst are almost exclusively populated by African American students. Activists in New Orleans joined with others in Detroit and Newark last month to file a federal civil rights complaint, alleging that the city's best-performing schools have admissions policies that exclude African American children. Those schools are overseen by the separate Orleans Parish School Board, and they don't participate in OneApp, the city's centralized school enrollment lottery.
John White, the state's superintendent of education, agreed that access to the best schools is not equal in New Orleans, but he said the state is prevented by law from interfering with the Orleans Parish School Board's operations.
"The claim that there's an imbalance is right on the money," White said. "The idea that it's associated with privilege and high outcomes is right on the money."
Stan Smith, acting superintendent of the Orleans Parish schools, said his district's charter schools have agreed to participate in the OneApp when their contracts are renewed, in two to 10 years from now.
The city's conversion to charters promises the best outcome for the most students, White said. "These kinds of interventions are never easy things," he said. "When you look at overall outcomes, they've been positive. Does it have collateral negative effects? Of course. But does it work generally for the better? Yes."
At Banneker Elementary, Sharell Washington was absorbing the school closing.
"I'm sad. I like this school," said Sharell, a bright-eyed 8-year-old who does not know where she will attend school in the fall. "I've been here since kindergarten, and I know a lot about this school. I have friends here. They always have my back."

Now that Peyton Manning has landed in Denver with the Broncos and Tim Tebow is on his way to New York to join the Jets, we are left with dozens of questions, none of which seems to have any logical or reasonable answer.
Prior to becoming a Bronco, Manning had narrowed his choices to Denver, San Francisco and Tennessee. If Manning's main focus was winning another Super Bowl, is there one among us who would dispute the 49ers were his slam-dunk choice? If his focus was money, location and familiar surroundings, shouldn't the choice have been Tennessee, after Titans owner Bud Adams vowed not to be outbid and talked about a lifetime contract? Apparently the real tipping point for Manning, once all the dating was done, was his desire to work for John Elway, and if that's the case, why did he waste everybody else's time?
With Manning firmly parked in his stable, why was Elway so panicked to get Tebow on the very first plane, bus or train out of town? There is a segment of Tebow nation that will revile Elway and the Broncos forever for dissing their messiah no matter what the Broncos' next move after signing Manning had been, but anybody who thinks the Broncos are better off with Tim Tebow at quarterback than Peyton Manning is just too stupid to worry about. I believe the overwhelming majority of Tebow's fan base are reasonably intelligent folks who would have reacted the same way Tebow did when, according to Elway, he said, "Hey, obviously I understand, we're talking about Peyton Manning here!" What I don't understand is why the best place for Tebow wasn't still in Denver as an H-back and slash-type player and the Broncos' third quarterback?
Unlike the Tebow-haters, I'm not at all convinced that, with a ton of practice and great coaching, he might not eventually be a pretty good NFL quarterback. Who'd be more perfect than Manning to teach him? The Broncos would have had to bring in a No. 2 QB because there's no way Tebow could run Manning's offense today, but they had to do that anyway. And with some success as one of Manning's special weapons, while learning from the best and playing Robin to Manning's Batman, the reasonable portion of Tebow's worshippers would have figured it out and stayed in Bronco blue and orange, eventually embracing all three — Tebow, Manning and Elway — as their holy trinity. Instead, Elway is now Gordon Gekko, Manning is the school bully whom Tebowites will love to hate and the loons are turning up everywhere.
Finally, what the hell were Rex Ryan and Mike Tannenbaum thinking? According to Rex, one of the main reasons his Jets were the biggest disappointment in the AFC last year was he misread his locker room, which for the better part of the season resembled Jack Nicholson's hospital ward in "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" (produced, by the way, by Gordon Gekko — I mean Michael Douglas). So how does Ryan fix it? Let's see now: Mark Sanchez, Santonio Holmes, Tim Tebow, Antonio Cromartie and maybe a little Bart Scott — that sounds like a recipe for Dream Bars, doesn't it?
But Rex and Mike don't care about the gruel they're whipping up, because they want to play a little "Wildcat," right? Forget that the rest of the league has already moved on because the "Wildcat" doesn't work in the NFL when you know it's coming, something teams will probably figure out when they see Tebow coming off the sideline, don't you think? How about your new No. 2 QB, Drew Stanton, getting so angry you had to deal him, and now Tebow is your guy to run the regular offense if Sanchez gets nicked or, worse yet, continues to struggle with Tebow looking over his shoulder? The reason Tebow is no longer a Bronco isn't because Elway just had to have Manning; it's because Tebow has already proved he can't run an NFL-style passing game. If Tebow is asked or forced to play and the Jets don't completely retool their offense into some kind of spread option, which, like the Broncos, they don't really have the personnel to run, the Jets' fans and New York media will eat him alive.
I don't care what you think of Tim Tebow. He clearly deserved a hell of a lot better than this, and getting Ryan and Tannenbaum fired isn't going to make him feel any better!

Post subject: Is Microsoft Killing Itself With Vista and DRM?
I believe so, the one thing that made Microsoft great was the fact that it tried to standardize the PC market, even if you were on a Mac or a old IBM PC, you still could get the data (This was before the Linux kernel even existed and UNIX on PCs was just a dream) However lately with Vista, Office and Zune they have been destroying what made them so great, the ability to get data on any PC platform, with actual true Open Formats, Microsoft has been ignoring them and creating its own (inferior) proprietary versions that /few/ use. What made Microsoft so much money/respect was that in a day before much standardization you could still get the data if you used Microsoft's format unlike with earlier computers such as the Sinclair line and the Commodore 64. Now Microsoft is going against this and its hurting their respect in the fact that now they have added DRM to just about everything, they have ignored the large community of Linux by making Office DRMed to the core and not having a Linux port. Because of this Linux is growing and Microsoft is shrinking, If it wasn't for Microsoft Linux would have never been born, and because of Microsoft it is growing exponentially, by ignoring their core values Microsoft has strengthened their rival, Linux. So how many people agree with me?

Post subject: RE: Is Microsoft Killing Itself With Vista and DRM?
MS will do anything, even illegal, to _not_ be compatible with Linux in any shape or form. They want the user to pay, pay and pay even more for using their DRM-ed products. That's the only thing they care about... They don't care about "respect" 'cause it aint gonna make them more money. Period. They know they can get away with (almost) anything, *because* they have such dominance on the desktop market. Don't worry, Vista will take off, because in a few months that's all vendors will get for building their PC's. MS simply stops shipping XP. They made the mistake of supporting Win98 for too long, won't happen again...
Btw, what on earth made you ever think that MS would port their flagship Office product to a platform that effectively orders them to open up their source code? MS doesn't care about the Linux/OSS community, unless they can make them pay for using software, every single piece of it.
IMO you're missing some vital understanding of the "free market economy" as propagated by large monopolists like MS, but also the US government and many more in the Western world. In the world of capitalism there is no such thing as morality, ethics and other social values the West claims as their own.

MS have been dying for a long time.
The only 2 divisions in MS that actually make a profit are Windows and Office.
Everything else, Xbox, Zune, MSN, etc.etc. they are losing money on.
The problem with a Behemoth like MS is that they cannot adjust to changing circumstances.
Despite their dominant position, it would take very little failure to bring the whole thing crashing down.
Large companies have complex organisational issues, large staff, and complex internal politics.
They also have huge day to day costs just to function.
MS will be here for a long time, but their business model is fundamentally flawed, and their attempts to scale an unmaintainable monolithic spaghetti of code to fit every application, mean that they are eventually doomed.
The thing is, if they do fall, the US economy may well go with them.
The sig between the asterisks is so cool that only REALLY COOL people can even see it!

What I think is nice is that MS is only making money on things that take absolutely no innovation MS just takes Mac/Linux ideas, DRM it, add insane hardware requirements to make sure that theres no possible way anyone can benefit for it then patent it and claim it as their own. As for office they could always do a binary only method the way Opera and some Google Software uses, not that I would buy it or anything
As for things that are legal or not it amazes me that MS is considered a monopoly yet Governments do nothing about it, and when they do its forbidding them for bundling Windows Media Player or something like that rather then forcing them to disclose source code so projects such as ReactOS can improve compatibility.
I think that the US economy is ignoring how other countries are innovating new technology (Such as Japan) and instead seem to buy things with just about 0% Innovation (Vista, iPhone, and Smartphones) and little functionality over previous versions. As long as consumers are willing to spend the money companies will keep barley improving their products and adding restrictions. Either
1. The economy will crash and consumers will have little money to spend on technology (Not good)
2. Consumers will learn about DRM and boycott it and non-open standards (good)
3. Legal action will be taken ageist DRM and software patents and Linux will grow without legal fear (Good but unlikely due to the fact that most people in congress are not programmers)
Before Microsoft starts loosing profits left and right. And consumers loose confidence and start buying Macs and Linux-installed computers.

I still have the feeling that you believe to live in Utopia...
As for the US economy: when (not if) it tumbles it'll drag Europe and Asia with it, but only for a short while. Investors will soon realise that the Euro is a strong currency and trade their USD for it. Look at the recent events surrounding the bad state of the housing market in the US: European markets took a slight dip but bounced back within a day or 2. Investors also realise that although import to the US will dry up to a trickle, export can be booming. Yeah, it'll hurt, but I doubt for any length of time over, let's say, 3 to 6 months.

Yah the housing market sure is bad in the US, and my parents are real estate agents so I know how that is. And the US economy is bound to be going downhill, too much govenment involvment, plus in 08 we get a new president and that could change the economy either for the better or the worse.

The problem with a Behemoth like MS is that they cannot Fight what they know , and that is that they are soon going to have to Close there doors for good.Despite their dominant position,Their business model is fundamentally flawed, and their attempts to scale an keep the PC Market will End and the whole Company crashing down.The BIG QUESTION IS NOT IF THEY DO FALL ,IT"S WHEN.NOW WHEN Microsoft does FALL and they will the US economy may well go with them.The Very reason i say this is that you very well know that Microsoft plays a big role in the U.S. Economy.

Microsoft will be with us for a long time, the same as IBM, Novell and other huge companies that have had their time in the arena, and still have huge cash reserves. They will not die overnight.
