Owner Reviews
Honda Odyssey
David Really love this car. Never want to let it go. Will honestly be very sad when the day comes where we need to part. The odyssey after it its not nearly as complete as this model was, and the new odyssey is a different beast altogether more like a Tarago. Feel as though we have the best of the breed ...
Honda Accord Euro
Nick Pretty damn good. Some minor quality issues and not the cheapest to run offset by the comfort and driving satisfaction, overall so far so good!
Fiat 500
Nathan Kendal Great little car, appears to be selling well and the Aussies finally appear to be cottoning on to the joys of little runabouts. It's not a car for the highway, road trips or big long hills, but in the city it is perfect. Who needs a V6 when surfing between traffic lights and speed cameras?
Mazda 2
Rohan After owning this car for half a year we are still really happy with it. We love the way it drives, that it has been 100 reliable and teh car's comfort over long distance driving. We'd recommend it to anyone looking for reliable, well built transport that is fun to drive - its nimble and is ...
Toyota 86
Nathan Baird Love the car, it's fun to drive and looks great. Would jump at the opportunity to get a slightly larger engine in the car.
Skoda Fabia
Mandy Keevers If you had of asked me a week ago about the car I wouldn't have said a wrong word, I was in love with it. Now that the EPC cable has gone twice within 24 hrs not so much. If the car is under warranty they only replace one cable. If however, you are paying for it they replace all four. What worries ...
Holden Adventra
Brian O'Donnell Overall a good car, I would buy another, was annoyed by the warranty problems, would have been most unlikely in a Japanese car. For rough road use is let down by the low profile tyres.
Honda Accord Euro
Graeme There's a good reason why the Accord Euro won Wheels' Car of the Year in 2008 - because it's an exceptional vehicle. The costs associated with ownership are small and you get solid, dependeable Japanese engineering with touches of European flair from a design perspective. It's a fun vehicle to ...
Toyota Camry
Bruno One of my best cars I've ever owned, I have never owned a car for that long, I see no reason yet why I have to do update as of yet.
Ford Territory
Bruno We feel that we were supplied a lemon of a car, the 2004 Toyota Camry we bought new hasn't given any sort of issues like the Territory has given us. The then service manager at the Ford dealer referred to me that all Camry's were built like bullets, didn't dare ask him how he thought Ford's were ...
Skoda Superb
daniel bennett As a family car we are very happy with it - have driven to Sydney 3 times from Adelaide and it hasn't missed a beat. Comfortable, reliable and we think a good looking car. We would definitely buy another one.
Toyota Landcruiser
Ben Parsons I've tried to be as objective as possible through pointing out good points and bad. LandCruisers are certainly not the most fashionable four wheel drives you can buy. It doesn't have the presence or panache when compared to vehicles from LandRover, Mercedes-Benz etc. LandCruiser's appeal is that it ...
Hyundai Santa Fe
Brenda Fallon This car is so impressive, my sister and two of her friends purchased one after I talked enthusiastically about the car and test driving mine. I would buy another one tomorrow if I was in the market for a medium SUV. I'd recommend this vehicle to anyone.
Isuzu MU-X
Shredder Only got a c ouple of k kmson it so far. I plan to keep this for ten years.So far averaging 8.1L/100 driving to work and back in Canberra
Jeep Patriot
Kerwin Maude If you see www. comments of the Jeep Patriot from both former owners & experts it says it all. The car lot gave a new $21,000 car as a compassionate generous gift to an innocent crime victim girl and their faces were in the newspapers (public relations & photo stunt too as nice guys) and we ...
Toyota Corolla
Saurabh My First New Car and loved it from day one. At the time of buying was considering future service and maintenance cost and reliablity. This Matched my critieria and no regret so far of 3yrs driving.
Land Rover Discovery 4
Darren So far I am impressed. I have read all of the negative comments from what I assume to be non owners or owners of much older incarnations and am happy to report no issues or major concerns. My previous vehicle had 3 electrical and trim warranty items over the same period of ownership and ...
Honda Accord
Lambert I love this car. Its amazing compared to the 1995 Toyota Camry I had before. I would buy it again. I love the extra power in the V6 and the stability, safety, comfort, good quiet interior. Only negatives are the CD player does not play MP3's or have an AUX input. This can be solved by using one ...
Hyundai ix35
Sam I owned IX35 for almost 4 years. What I learned is it looks good, feel good and drive well. But the quality is still bad. My IX35 has to be replaced some parts every year. Fuel pump, ABS and water pump last week. And all these inconveniences to you is only worth $50 Coles card from Hyundai's view. ...
BMW 320i
Mohammad Rahman A great car to drive with amazing performance delivered with everyday comfort needs. As a car enthusiast, this is a car that I enjoy everyday and I look forward to driving no matter what road condition. Reliability and maintenance can be an issue, but that is to be expected of a used car with more ...
Nissan Micra
Ajay Devaharan Good car for city driving, does what's I expect for a car at 16000 bucks, would not buy again though.
Mitsubishi 380
David Brennan I cannot stress just how good this car is for the money compared to it's direct competitors. If you can afford the slightly higher fuel costs, get one.
Subaru Liberty
Rob Paton Write a comment...love this car and when the time comes will have no hesitation getting another one
Honda Accord
Robert Taylor The Accord is an excellent choice for people who want a reasonably priced luxury car that drives well and feels comfortable. Not the fastest nor the "most prestigious" but as good or better than the much more expensive European and other Japanese models I tried before I settled on the ...
Nissan Pulsar
andrew I love this car, I even have a framed picture but my wife wont let me put it in the lounge room which is a shame as the colours match(I think she's a teeny weeny bit jealous)
Ford Focus
Shamus Hooper I am very impressed with purchasing a new focus st. At the time of choosing a hot hatch, the focus showed me the best bang for buck. I was considering a WRX, but the interior is dated and not as many standard features as the focus. Overall the car gives plenty of power, is great on a open windy ...
Alfa Romeo 159
Brad Nice to drive but keeping it on the road is time consuming and expensive, good luck.
Volvo XC90
hayden If we did not have the well known wheel bearing and swirl pot issues. This car would be very very good.
Kia Sportage
Daniel Geus The Kia, and I'm referring to the diesel model in particular, have clearly made an effort with this car. It works as a terrific visual, performance and road handling package. My initial impressions of the Sportage have not changed much but while the post purchase euphoria has worn off I am still ...
Mazda 2
Sarah Price wise it is a little exuberant considering what is available on other cars at the same price range but overall is a great car, servicing is reasonable, fuel is pretty good and for someone who loves my music loud it does the job. If you are looking for a second car, a to b car, p plater car, ...
Peugeot 206
edelwyn van hass gr8 car...actually is a 206 CC gear tiptronic can drive either manually or automatic. Have had no problen with it goes like new. A beautiful vehical. I love my car and would not hesitate to purchase another Peugeot anytime.
Chrysler PT Cruiser
Rod Jackson Excellent good looking and safe vehicle Does not appear to have retain its value?
Mitsubishi Pajero
Mike wilson just need to increase the ball weight when towing, for caravans whish is why i purchased the car. great on road with fuel ( disiel) and towing the van,
Ford Mondeo
Eric I think the Mondeo is underrated in Australia. A fantastic family car that is of excellent value to new and second hand buyers. As with other Fords and so called medium and big cars, the resale value is poorl. It however, it makes up for it with the good looks and excellent driveability. Will ...
Jeep Grand Cherokee
Andrew Absolutely terrible off road especially on sand, engine overheats, back in garage too many times to remember
Suzuki Swift
Toan Quite a good reliable no-fuss cheap get about car. As the engine loves to rev, it is an enjoyable ride if you don't mind winding the engine out. Handling could be improved with stiffer sway bars at the rear to stop body roll.
Mazda CX-5
Rohan After nearly a year of ownership we are still highly impressed with our car. The comfort, reliability, performance and user-friendliness of this car has been outstanding. Every time we travel in it together we still comment on the cars comfort and willing engine. We were recently approached by a ...
Jeep Compass
Steve Wills This purchase was a toss up between a Subaru XV. The XV does not look as sexy as the Jeep, but I think the reliability of the Subaru would have been better. The jeep is more feature packed than the Subaru as well so that is what swayed my decision. I would buy a Jeep again, but not a compass. A ...
Toyota 86
Peter Vaughan !2,000 km in and loving it to death. New stereo head unit almost a must given poor toyota one fitted but in all other respects just a grat drive each and every day. No luxuries needed when the driving is this good.
Skoda Yeti
Rob The Yeti is just a brilliant car that is fun to drive and meets every expectation - have only had it a month and it travelled 3000 silken kilometres. It feels solid and extremely well built - the only issue is lack of a USB connection and the boot a bit on the small side.
Honda Odyssey
Mike Rampant Unimpressive in many ways.
Hyundai ix35
steve redman I certainly would not say it's a "perfect" vehicle, but the IX35 SE series 2 drives nicer, looks smarter, costs less to buy and run, has a longer warranty and with the leather and camera etc it proved a deserved winner of my most recent family car purchase. Well Done Hyundai, keep up ...
Nissan JUKE
Lucio Zeolla Absolute joy to drive and own, Turbo model would've be nicer but cannot justify the extra $4,000, apart from that, I'm happy! Wife is beside herself.
Mercedes-Benz B180
Andris Ford Very Hi Tech- We received training when we purchased. Most of this model is already sold out - I had difficulty getting this car with all the options, the A model fully optioned is also sold out - have to wait till middle of 2014. That speaks for it self. I don't know what would even compare with ...
Holden Berlina
Julie Gray I love this car especially the gen111 V8 engine and the comfort is superb. Instant power and on the highway I get 7litres to the 100k which is excellent. It is easy to park and has great air cond clim control . All the bells and whistles. Really a club sport without the badge.
Toyota Landcruiser
Bill Triafylos I would buy one again . I hope Toyota improve the interior
Alfa Romeo 147
Gaetano Colosi A 30,000 km car with all this going for it purchased for $11,000. Magnificent !!!!
Mazda CX-9
Shayan Khan The CX9 is a very comfortable and safe family hauler, however, issues such as its fuel economy and hard interior plastics bring down its desirability. The CX9 has a very spirited engine that results in rapid acceleration, however, even when driving economically, the fuel consumption of this vehicle ...
Mercedes-Benz A150
Shauna Scott I love my roomy little car
BMW 328i
Sathyan Nair For the money I spend I do not think there is any other car that offers comparable power, styling and safety

Thinking healthy, eating healthy, acting healthy all adds up to being healthy according to the Mature Market Resource Center and the host of the annual National Senior Health and Fitness Day.
Thinking healthy, eating healthy, acting healthy all adds up to being healthy according to the Mature Market Resource Center and the host of the annual National Senior Health and Fitness Day. The day is celebrated every year on the last Wednesday of May. It's the largest national event held to promote senior health.
In recognition of the event, The Paul and Carol David YMCA in Jackson Township held a health fair as a way to promote healthy lifestyles for senior citizens on May 29. It was the fourth year for the event which draws more 200 local seniors. This year, there was food, exercise, caricature drawings, local health care vendors and plenty of fun and socialization.
"While we are geared toward seniors over age 65, the event is open to any age senior," said Sue McFarland, member relations director and senior programming at David YMCA.
"We try to offer a variety of activities and try to make them different than other health fairs," McFarland added. "Many of the vendors offer activities such as making healthy tacos or making chocolate chip cookies. We also have a local caricature artist doing drawings and there are door prize drawings all day long."
Food included a light breakfast with bagels and juice. For lunch, there were tacos by Baja Pizzafish, hot dogs from the YMCA and snacks throughout the day.
Participants could also get free blood pressure checks, a balance check, eye screenings and chair massages.
Ming Ming Fu and Bob Richmond, members of the SilverSneakers group at the YMCA were talking to area seniors about joining the group. Both enjoy the health, fitness and the social aspects of the SilverSneakers.
"It's a functional fitness program," Richmond said. "We work on day-to-day living skills such as getting out of a chair, balance and agility. Half of the exercises are done sitting in a chair. The most important thing we do as a group is laugh a lot and have a good time. There is always a monthly social event such as going to lunch or visiting a local museum."
Gerry Bragg stopped by the Walgreen's table to check on his numbers.
"I stopped by to have my pulse and blood pressure checked and to see what was going on," Bragg said.
Carolyn and Thomas McCain just finished with their Yoga class at the YMCA and decided to take a look through the Health and Fitness Fair.
"We've been doing Yoga twice a week for over a year at the YMCA," Thomas said. "We found the fresh tacos when we were walking through the fair and decided to try one."
Jennifer Wiman of Massillon Chiropractic was giving free chair massages. She said massage therapists work along with chiropractors.
Page 2 of 2 - "The massage loosens the muscles and keeps the tissue healthy by increasing circulation and the chiropractors keep the spine healthy," Wiman said. "Massages are good to have right after working out. It releases the toxins in the muscles to allow fresh blood (flow)."
There were a variety of vendors including Sirak Financial Services to talking to visitors about selecting Medicare plans that fit their individual needs. Other vendors included SARTA, the Jackson Township Fire and Police departments, Crossroads Hospice, Jackson Township Lions Club, Mary Kay Cosmetics, Grabill Gallery of Kitchens and Baths and many others.
"We try to offer education, food and fun for any senior who wants to come," McFarland said. "It's a yearly event that has grown in the number of vendors and activities and in the number of people who attend."
Sponsors for the event included: Absolute Skilled Home Health, Baja Pizzafish, EMS Security Inc., Meadow Wind Health Care, Mercy Medical Center, SarahCare and Valley National Gases, Inc.

Make Large Walls Cozier
Some may denigrate them as "McMansions," but there's a reason people love today's trend toward bigger homes. While these houses may seem larger than strictly necessary, much of that space is geared toward togetherness, with great rooms that combine living, eating and food preparation areas, and big basements for parties and indoor recreation. This is much more family-friendly than the traditional home, where small rooms are separated by walls and doorways.
As for the rest of the space, well -- things are getting bigger. People need a wall to fit a big screen TV and a basement that can support a workout center. It's space, not waste.
When you're looking up, it gets tough. Many large homes feature soaring foyers and nine foot ceilings that, untouched, can leave your home feeling like a cold, echoing cavern. What's a decorator to do?
The answer is this: Do whatever you want. The sky (or ceiling) and your imagination are the only limits.
Choose a Paint Color You Love
It starts with paint. That's the word from Carolyn Anderson, model home decorator and co-owner of Desa Design.
"Colors are your best friend when it comes to bringing warmth and character to a big space," she says. "Choosing the right paint can allow you to soften the space and tie it in with the rest of the home." Beyond that, says Anderson, which color to choose is a matter of your personality and taste. Bold decorators may want to go with bright, bold colors. More earthy types may want to stick with neutrals.
Try Separating Tones with a Chair Rail
One of Anderson's favorite uses of paint on a large wall space is to use two different colors. One interesting technique she favors is to break up a large wall, such as a space with a 20-foot ceiling, with a chair rail around the wall at about what would normally be ceiling height – about 8 or 9 feet. Then, use different but contrasting colors on the top and bottom. It can be lighter on top and darker on the bottom or vice versa.
Finally, unless there's a lot going on architecturally or with interesting windows, decorate below the rail. "This creates a manageable decorating space and yet still gives the benefits of that big ceiling," she says. "You still need art, unless there's a lot going on in the space, but keep it at eye-level height below the chair rail."
Mount Drapes Above Transoms
As for windows in those big rooms, especially if they have transom windows on top, Anderson says to start the draperies or curtains above the transoms. This will have the effect of softening up a room and creates a nice vertical line.
Decorate from the Floor Up
In rooms with high ceilings where there is also furniture, whether it be a family room with couches and chairs or a foyer area with decorative pieces, ignore that big ceiling and decorate from the floor up, says Barbara Jennings, founder of Decorate-Redecorate.com and author of Where There's a Wall There's a Way.
"If you try to decorate to the vertical height, you take the attention out of the room," she says. "If you have furniture flush against the wall, unless it's massive and there's some reason for going high, you want to keep the artwork close to the furniture so it's viewed as a unit. Don't worry about what's up high; keep the attention in the room instead of drawing it up to the ceiling."
In general, Jennings says that the bottom of the art should be placed just a few inches above the furniture. This keeps the eye from being drawn upward and also prevents the distraction of too much wall space between the furniture and the art. "You want the furniture and the art to look like a united group," she says.
Go Large with Decorative Objects
Jennings and Anderson both like to think outside the box when it comes to decorating high ceilings. Art is always good, but so are large decorative objects such as these:
- Tapestries
- Mirrors
- Fans
- Pictures
- Clocks
- Wrought iron
In her own home, Jennings has a piece of oriental artwork called a kakemono, which is a long, painted scroll. It is on a wall between two doorways and fills the space very nicely. Any large item, as long as it can be safely hung, can be used to decorate a large wall.
Anderson is a fan of posters, because they do come in large sizes. Get a nice frame, and it doesn't look like a poster, but rather like a painting or print.
Nancy Marchand of Apex, N.C., lives in a house with a split entry. One wall stretches from the top floor to the basement. On it, she's hung the antique barber tools her father gave her from the shop he owned for many years, an antique rug beater and some other items from her grandmother. The collection makes a nice display that fits well with the country motif in her home.
"I had actually stored a lot of this stuff in a closet in our old house because I didn't know what to do with it," she says. "I was thrilled to have a big wall where I could display them in our new home."
Before hanging anything, warns Anderson, be sure you know what you want and where you want it. She recommends cutting out shapes from butcher paper to match the size and shape of the item or artwork and hanging those shapes up with painter's tape. Then, if you're not pleased with it, it's easy to rearrange, and there are no holes to fill.
Still need ideas? Anderson suggests looking through magazines and decorating books. Cut out ideas you like and save them, and you'll probably begin to see a trend. From there, it's just a matter of a good ladder.

(May 6, 2009) – In recent months, Skate Canada has come under a media light that has not portrayed the actual beliefs and messaging of Skate Canada. To some extent, we have felt a bit between a rock and a hard place as each time we seek to clarify, it seems to result in more controversy. One challenge has been that some members of the press have taken comments out of context and juxtaposed them with comments by others that do not represent our position in order to create a story.
For the past few weeks we have chosen not to participate in media stories that wanted to perpetuate this message. Unfortunately, despite our best efforts these false assumptions have continued to be portrayed in the media.
As a bit of history, there is no and never has been any 'tough' campaign. At the beginning of the season, we did feel that we wanted to message where possible the difficulty of the sport. This was in no way to diminish the artistry, rather simply to remind viewers of the levels of fitness, mental training and commitment required to be an elite figure skater. This messaging was NOT even intended for the men's event. In fact, our feeling was that often the athleticism of the women was being overlooked. In an interview, Debbi Wilkes, Skate Canada Director, Marketing and Communications, used the word 'tough', intending it in a common meaning - difficult. What Debbi meant was that to be successful at the elite level, an athlete has to be physically and mentally strong. The interviewer then made the connection between tough and macho and made the assumption it was aimed at the men's event which was not true and not the case. There is no interest at Skate Canada in making the sport more macho, rather simply an interest in people understanding the difficulty of the sport and not marginalizing our skaters as athletes. It is one of the few sports that puts intense physical demands on the athlete and then demands it be done with beauty, grace and ease.
From a marketing point of view, we have done extensive market research and have a good understanding of our demographics. We are also well aware that the sport's popularity is due to the combination of artistry and athletics. We in no way want to see any reduction in the artistry. We certainly do not wish to alienate our fan base and, quite frankly, that fan base is very knowledgeable about skating. Our messaging was really intended for the more casual viewer of the sport, particularly with the Olympics here in Canada later this year.
As for a skater's personal life, Skate Canada gives no direction. We have always and will continue to be a welcoming and inclusive sport. We are about producing great athletes that will do our sport and country proud.
For the record, while Elvis Stojko is entitled to comment on skating as he sees fit, he in no way speaks for Skate Canada and the views he recently expressed are not representative of the views of the leadership team at Skate Canada.
Figure skating has seen much advancement over the years, from the judging system to the physical demands of the sport. Canada has been privileged enough to be able to grow and adapt to the many changes. This is evident through the success of our skaters in the last several years. In 2008 and 2009 Canada won the most medals out of any country at the ISU World Figure Skating Championships. We hope that this success will continue into 2010 as we look forward to being part of the 2010 Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver.
William Thompson CEO, Skate Canada

It is unlikely vote centers will be available in Howard County during the 2014 election because sites have yet to be selected.
Earlier this year, the Howard County Election Board was moving forward with the vote center concept and electronic voting, but the process was delayed because the county didn't follow state guidelines.
The election board Wednesday voted to have the chairmen of the local Republican and Democratic parties name two people to a committee to determine the locations for potential vote centers.
Jim Watkins, chairman of the election board, said it was looking for more input from the public in terms of location. He said the bipartisan committee could recommend locations acceptable to both parties.
Mark Bourff, a board member, said he is not opposed to the concept of vote centers, but wants more people involved in the process.
Watkins said he was more comfortable with the political parties choosing the locations, rather than the election board.
Howard County Clerk Kim Wilson said he doubts vote centers will be used during the 2014 county-wide election because work remains to implement them.
Watkins said once the locations are determined, there will be public meetings to discuss vote centers.
"We have to start the process over," he said. "We can't do anything until the locations are selected that people can agree on."
David Tharp, Democratic Party chairman, and Craig Dunn, Republican Party chairman, both said they would name members to a committee to determine potential sites.
Wilson estimated the county would save $310,132 over a four-year span, which would include three election cycles, by going to vote centers. Cost of electronic poll books and new electronic voting machines has been estimated at $300,000.
The proposal is to open five vote centers for early voting and have 10 centers operating on Election Day.
As proposed, the early voting centers could be located in the four corners of Kokomo and the courthouse.
They would be open for three days prior to an election and voting at the courthouse would be open 28 days before Election Day.
There would be vote centers on Election Day in both Greentown and Russiaville as well.

Following the completion of the tourism master plans, the government has decided to build three tourist cities, one in each of its three provinces of Sulaimaniya, Erbil and Duhok.
This initiative is expected to increase the future inflow of tourists into the region.
Nadir Rosti, Spokesperson of the Kurdistan Region's General Tourism Board, stated in an interview with the Kurdish Globe, that this decision was made during the meeting of the Region's Economic Board, headed by Prime Minister Nechirvan Barzani last month.
The master plan
The tourist city in Duhok will be built between the Duhok Dam and Zava Mountain, while in Erbil, the city is to be built on the Safin Mountain and the third city will be on the Dokan Dam in Sulaimaniya.
The master plan for the Dokan and Safin tourist cities are designed by the Tourism Board and they will be contracted to private investors with a tender process. However, after completion the Board will directly supervise the cities. The Duhok tourist city is designed by the Duhok Governorate, but the construction and supervision will be done in the same way as the two other cities.
Attention to tourism
Rosti also explained that his Board is preparing itself to become affiliated directly to the Council of Ministers rather than their current affiliation to the Ministry of Municipalities.
"In this case, the Board will have more power and authority and can better help develop the tourism sector," reiterated Rosti.
During the past few years, Kurdistan Region has taken some important steps with regards to tourism and has attracted increasing number of tourists year after year. This shows that the KRG authorities have realized the potential of the region to becoming a popular tourist destination.
Achieving the target
In 2011, roughly 1,702,390 tourists visited Kurdistan Region, which was 30% higher than the previous year and is 5 times more than the rate of 2007.
In the first half of this year, the number of tourists has doubled compared to the first half of 2011, and the KRG is planning to increase this number to around 2.5 million by the end of the year.
Two weeks ago, authorities and experts met in a workshop to develop a plan for the development of the medical treatment tourism, as one of the 12 types of tourism in the Region.
The construction of these three tourist cities in most attractive spots in the region is another big step towards improving the tourism sector, but also the environmental forms of tourism.
According to the KRG's tourism master plan, the number of tourists shall reach 4 million by the year 2015, with these tourist cities being a big part of the efforts towards reaching this target.

Suspect in Sioux Falls Stabbing Arrested
A man who was wanted for questioning in connection with a stabbing in western Sioux Falls early Monday has been located and arrested.
Police officer Sam Clemens says 44-year-old Mitchell Ray Wynder of Sioux Falls was arrested around 9am Tuesday in the northeast area of the city by the Warrant Task Force and the US Marshal's Service:
Clemens says Wynder is charged with two counts of aggravated assault. He says the incident began at a mobile home in the 800 block of North Teal Place, where Wynder's former girlfriend lives with her adult daughter and the daughter's boyfriend.
Clemens says Wynder had been staying there, but got angry when he heard a discussion among the others about getting him to leave. He says Wynder began arguing with the others and that led to the daughter's boyfriend being stabbed.

|William C. 'Bill' Strayer
|Friday, September 13, 2013 12:13 AM
May 7, 1930-Sept. 11, 2013
He was born May 7, 1930, in Amanda Township, Allen County, to Gale and Eulahla F. Boyer Strayer, who preceded him in death.
He married Frances L. Moore on Oct. 11, 1953, whom he met at The Ohio State University. They would have been married 60 years next month. She survives along with three children, Donald E. (Nancy E.) Strayer of Beavercreek, Nancy L. Strayer of Elida and Rebecca R. (Brent) English of Elida; and three grandchildren, Caroline Rose English, Lorraine Frances English and Aaron Strayer English, all of Elida.
Bill was preceded in death by his sister, Betty (John) Blymyer and baby boy Strayer.
He was a lifelong member of the Zion United Methodist Church near Elida.
He was a 1948 graduate of Elida High School and was a 1952 graduate of The Ohio State University, earning a B.S. Degree in Agriculture. He was a member of the Alpha Gamma Sigma Agricultural Fraternity and a member of the OSU Livestock Judging team in 1950, which he was recently honored for.
A lifelong farmer, he raised Registered Angus Cattle, which is a 90-year long continuous family tradition, making him the patriarch of the oldest Angus herd in the state of Ohio.
On Thursday, he, his son-in-law and grandson were recognized by the Allen County Soil and Water Conservation District as the 2013 outstanding co-operator.
He served as treasurer of the Ohio Angus Association for 20 years. He was a member of the Auglaize, Van Wert, Ohio, Black Swamp, West Central, Eastern Ohio and American Angus Associations. He was a long-time member and advisor for the Amanda Agricultural 4-H Club.
Funeral services will be at 1 p.m. Saturday in the Zion United Methodist Church, with Pastor Mark Fuerstenau officiating and burial to follow in the Hartford Cemetery.
Friends may call from 4-8 p.m. today at the Thomas E. Bayliff Funeral Home in Spencerville and after noon Saturday at the church.
Memorials may be made to the Zion United Methodist Church of Spencerville EMS.

ucfalumknight says: Alone in the Dark created the Survival Horror Genre. Games such as Resident Evil and Silent Hill owe their existence to this classic. Also early adoption of 3D with characters and environments.
ucfalumknight says: Considered the catalyst of the CRPG Renaissance of the 90's. Baldur's Gate is still considered by many today to be the measuring stick of the CRPG.
ucfalumknight says: While a commercial disaster, this game is heralded as one of the best examples of character development in any game. Peter Ancel created a game world that was thought provoking with interesting, emotional characters.
ucfalumknight says: Descent took the traditional linear FPS and changed it into an immersive 3d world. While Descent 1 and 2 could be represented here, they did not have the truly interactive 3D feel that 3 brought. Many games owe their lives to this title.
ucfalumknight says: The first of truly "freedom of choice" games. Deus Ex gave the player the opportunity to play however they wanted to. Play it with guns blazing or stealthily with as little gun play as possible.
ucfalumknight says: While not a Legacy game for it's building components (which had been done before) this game earns legacy status as it allowed the player to become the Bad Guy. Up until this release, we were relegated to being the heroes.
ucfalumknight says: This is a tough one. While nothing ground breaking, Duke Nukem 3D brought a new attitude to the first person shooter genre. Humor was mixed into the plot, something that had been sorely missing in the Legacy FPS's
ucfalumknight says: This games legacy goes to the expert blending of tactical battles mixed with RPG elements, combined with individual heroes. Heroes of M&M blended all of these successfully and is often imitated today.
ucfalumknight says: Far Cry's legacy is it's open world. You could spend days playing Far Cry and never advance the story at all. Sandbox FPS games owe their souls to Far Cry. Also, the CryEngine was a huge leap forward in 3D engines.
ucfalumknight says: To create a list of Legacy games and not include the Kings Quest games would be criminal. This game revolutionized the Adventure genre and is still imitated today.
ucfalumknight says: This is the first game that effectively implemented the zoom in Sniper Rifle Scope. It is still used today in many FPS games.
ucfalumknight says: A marvel in game design, this game shattered the "rules" of the platform games when it was released. Innovative still today.
ucfalumknight says: Until the release of Thief, most FPS/3rd Person games were about running in, guns blazing and killing every baddie on the level. Thief was about stealth. It introduced the concept of Noise generating environments that the player had to be aware of.
Treat your GOGmix as your child - name it! ;)
Coming up with a cool and descriptive title should be your first priority. Being original is in your best interest - bet you wanna get lots of nice votes, right? Go all crazy if you want, but be sure to keep it civil!
So, what are the ingredients?
Pick a game that belongs in your GOGmix from the list, or find it by typing something in the text field. Relevance is key here - Earthworm Jim doesn't quite fit the "Sexiest heroines of all time" bill now, does it?
Justify your choice... Or not!
OK, so it's not required, but now that you went through the trouble of adding a game, telling everyone why you did it would be a nice finishing touch. After you're done here, add another game, rinse, repeat.

Formal Work Flexibility
At certain times in your life and career, you might want to officially reset your work+life fit to telework, shift your hours, compress your workweek or reduce your schedule.
Major life transitions happen. You decide to go back to school. Your partner relocates. You have a baby. Your baby becomes a teenager. An adult family member gets sick. Your commute becomes an unbearable and unnecessary waste of time, or you want to work as you ease into retirement.
Don't quit! Create, negotiate and implement a formal flexible work plan that meets your needs and the needs of your job.
For a formal flexible work plan to succeed, one size does not fit all.
Shift your mindset to see the possibilities. Understand the common roadblocks related to success, fear and in-the-box-thinking that can derail your plan. Learn how to come to the table with a proposal that considers your needs and the realities of your job.
Unfortunately, most people don't follow these steps and their formal flexible work plans fail. Not anymore!
Read: Work+Life: Finding the Fit That's Right for You (Riverhead/Penguin Group, 2004). In her first book, FSG/WLF's CEO and founder, Cali Williams Yost, led the effort to show people how to create, negotiate and implement a formal flexible work plan that officially changed how, when or where they worked for a period of time.

Full report: Infrastructure investment
There has been huge disappointment, after hopes were dashed that the A1 in Northumberland would finally be upgraded.
The Chief Secretary to the Treasury, Danny Alexander, announced details of road and rail improvements but there was no mention of dualling the A1 between Morpeth and Berwick.
Gregg Easteal has taken a journey along the section of the route, meeting people whose lives are affected by the Government's decision:

New Hampshire is considered to be an area of moderate seismic hazard. This means that the state could experience large (6.5-7.0 magnitude) earthquakes, but they are not likely to occur as frequently as in a high hazard area like California. The state typically experiences one or two earthquakes per year registering magnitude 2.0 to 3.5.
According to the NH Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management and the U.S. Geological Survey, the overall earthquake risk to the state is high. This is because of the built environment of New Hampshire. That is, many structures in the state (e.g., buildings, homes, bridges, and highways) are old or not built to modern earthquake standards. Hence, they are unable to withstand quakes. Additionally, due to the unique geology of New Hampshire, earthquake propagation waves travel up to 40 times further than they do in the western United States. This means the area of damage could be larger.
Recognizing the significant danger posed by seismic activity in the New England region, the U.S. Geological Survey is presently installing the Advanced National Seismic System in Boston and New York City to provide emergency responders with real-time earthquake information.

Montville _ Montville police say two runaway teens were found in New London Saturday evening.

Routes Sorted
L to R R to L Alpha
Probably the most classic route at Granite Mountain. This is part of the Great Roof section. Start up a slab for approximately 50 feet. Then climb a flake that turns into a left facing corner. There is a two bolt hanging belay at about 120 feet. The next pitch is a steep offwidth and corner to another hanging belay at 160 feet. Climb a short easy 20 foot pitch to the next belay. The next pitch is the crux. Angle to the right and up under the Great Roof. Then jam and smear the crack to the left edge of the roof. The pitch ends after you pull the roof. Belay as soon as possible to avoid rope drag. This is a very exposed belay. The final scramble is up a easy gully, over another small roof, and finished at the triangle shaped boulder. And alternate finish is to link up on Candyland. This keeps the rating down to 5.9+. Descend through the Coke Bottle. Refer to the Climber's Guide to Granite Mountain for topo.
It is advisable to get an early start so you beat the afternoon monsoon showers.
There are two bolt belays for the first two pitches. Most guides say fingers to #3 camalots. We did use a #4 also.

Well, how's that for a start to his Manchester City career? In a matter of minutes, Sergio Aguero has netted a goal and provided a great assist on his debut, helping the Citizens to an absolutely insurmountable 3-0 lead that might get larger before the match ends. The addition of Aguero into the game by Roberto Mancini has been an absolute masterstroke - though it doesn't take a genius to figure out that Aguero might help a team score goals - and the Citizens are absolutely destroying their opposition at the moment.
The second goal of the game, Aguero's goal, came in the 68th minute. Micah Richards provided the assist, putting in a great low cross for Aguero to tap in at the back post. The third goal came just three minutes later, as Aguero chased a ball to the endline and flicked it back over his head towards the penalty spot. David Silva was waiting and finished calmly, giving his team a 3-0 lead.
After a decent first half from Swansea, it's all falling apart. City just have way too much quality for the Swans and it's all easy right now.

Every player has his own motivation for the upcoming season, everything from seeing how an injured body will adapt to having an uncomfortable feeling about how last season ended.
For linebacker Layne McCombs (Venice, Fla.), missing all of last season and the last several games of the 2010 campaign with injuries has meant a new perspective on the game after an excruciating wait to get back on D.B. Milne Field.
"Not being able to play was one of the hardest things that has happened to me,'' McCombs, a linebacker, said on the eve on the new season. "I've been playing football since I was 10 years old and the first year I couldn't play it really hit me and I realized what I lost. Sitting out has built up and I'm ready to let go.''
The wait, he said, has reinforced his love of the game.
"I do have a new perspective; I thought I lost it forever but I got it back and it made me realize what I had and I want to take every opportunity to play the game I love most,'' he said.
The redshirt senior said his knee injuries are of little concern currently.
"It doesn't worry me because I've put in the time and effort to get back to where I am and I know what I'm capable of doing,'' he said. "I'm back to my normal numbers in the weight room and on the field. I want to make sure everyone is on the same page and we can get things going.''
Junior safety/nickel back Ed Foley (Port St. Lucie, Fla.) still is bitter at how last season ended with a 7-4 record and has more than his share of "what could have been'' moments. The Dolphins lost, 23-14, to San Diego in the Pioneer Football League championship.
"Camp has its ups and downs, but the team's just excited to get back at it the way last season ended and all,'' he said. "The 7-4 record, losing in the conference championship game after flying all the way out to San Diego. It was one play at the end and if we make that play the offense can get the ball back.'' And, what might have been.
Despite his motivation, preseason camp is still camp and it wears on players (and coaches) after a while.
"It's just a drag all the way through,'' Foley said. "You've got to wake up every morning at 5:30, 6 o'clock and you don't go to bed until 11, that's when you get out of meetings, so you're really not going to bed until 11:30 and some guys will stay up until one. I've been here for two years now so I know the stuff like the back of my hand even though there's still more stuff to get in and get more knowledge out of it but the meetings are the most difficult part.''
The team's first day in pads this year will be Saturday – the first scrimmage.
"That's going to be exciting,'' Foley said.
He said he won't be surprised if the coaches are a little more intense this time around because of last year's ending.
"It will basically be the same routine, but I feel like they're is going to amp it up this year after the way last season ended,'' he said. "They don't want to have to happen like that again. Last year's team was good enough to win the championship but it didn't happen that way.''
Saturday's scrimmage will be a morning affair and at 2 p.m. the team and coaches will play host to the SeaBest Seafood Football 101 clinic at the field.

One of my favorite Pandora stations is Cole Porter. I adore the wordplay and wit of the songs Porter wrote during the 1920s and '30s: "Let's Do It, Let's Fall in Love," "Night and Day," "Anything Goes," "You're the Top." The soundtrack of the era takes me back in time just like this amazing cuff. It is as bold as the Chrysler Building, New York's art deco architectural masterpiece. The mix of materials—white and rose gold, diamonds, black onyx and green agate—provide all that jazz.

I made these for a dessert at Christmas...they were inhaled. Good thing I took extra copies of the recipe with me! Delicious. I made some with the macadamia nuts sprinkled in the pan and some without...both were gone quicky!
Reviewed Dec. 22, 2011
I would make this recipe with the following modifications. (My husband HATED it.) Cook the dough around 15-17 minutes and NOT use the macadamia nuts.

Police officers who showed up at a Bolingbrook home to stifle a family brawl on Christmas Eve got pulled into the scuffle before they were able to break it up, the Herald-News is reporting.
Bolingbrook officers were called to the 400 block of South Palmer just before 1 a.m. Tuesday to handle a domestic incident.
When they arrived, a woman greeted them and hurriedly ushered them into the house, police said.
Officers saw people fighting in a back room, and were pulled into the fray when they tried to stop the fight.
Police eventually were able to arrest Juan Espinoza Sr., 49; Juan Espinoza Jr., 24; Ricardo Espinoza, 28; Rosa Espinoza, 46; Erika Espinoza, 19; and James K. Faught, 22.
Two officers suffered minor injuries, and equipment was damaged in the fight, police said.

It's Bad Enough They Saddled Us With the Uniform Start Date . . .
A biography of Branch Rickey features a passage describing a Georgia-Michigan baseball game in 1912 in which "a strong throw home seemed to beat the runner." By the end of the posting in which that quotation appears, the Maize and Blue faithful are making reference to "a bad call by some crack-pot, home-cooking umpire from Georgia in 1912." A biographer says a throw "seemed" to get there ahead of the runner, and, all of a sudden, it's "a bad call by some crack-pot, home-cooking umpire from Georgia"? Gracious! As bad as all that! Maybe I missed the part where it said the guy who was in Georgia was from Georgia, and I certainly missed the part where one arguable decision made the guy a "crack-pot" 98 years after the fact, but I know this: Bob McWhorter was playing for the Red and Black in 1912, so we were better than they were then, and we're better than they are now. Yeah, yeah, yeah, we have to put off baseball season because they have bad weather up there. Hey, I drove home from Athens in a snowstorm last Friday, so I don't want to hear about it. If they feel they were wronged by officiating improprieties almost a century ago, they can grab their gloves and their cups, head on down to Foley Field, and play a little ball. Go 'Dawgs!

I am working on a custom solution to provide Saml Authentication for a small pilot of users on a Telligent Community v7.6 site that is currently using Forms Authentication. This application is currently running as a virtual IIS application, within the same domain – so it has access to the client's domain.
While all of the custom and Saml logic is working correctly AND my code to write the cookie is successful, but Telligent Community does not recognize that the customer is logged in. I am in the process of ruling out differences in machineKey settings, and believe this is an issue with how the Cookie is being written.
I used the 7.6 documentation and another blog post, but neither approaches seem to work.
Does anyone have experience (and possibly code samples) with writing the cookie so that Telligent Community recognizes it? I would greatly appreciate the assistance.
Thanks in advance.
Can you provide a link to the documentation you've tried so far?
In reply to Elijah Hardin:
First, I used guidance on the Cookie Authentication: telligent.com/.../24252.cookie-authentication.aspx
Then found your blog post was the second resource I used: elijahhardin.com/.../telligent-community-5-single-sign-on-sso-forms-authentication
In reply to Scott Dockendorf:
Are you writing the cookie from within the community application (even if it's your own code executing within Teligent),or are you doing from a totally separate website / application? If the former, then you may be writing the cookie too late in the ASP.Net pipeline to be recognised.
Can you also use Fiddler or the Chrome dev tools to verity that
a) the cookie has been written and sent to the client
b) the client returns the cookie to the server when you visit the community homepage
One common mistake with cookie auth is to set the cookie in such a way that the browser will never send it back to the server (e.g. by setting the cookie domain to a domain other than the one being accessed).
In reply to Alex Crome:
Hi, Alex. Hope all is well.
The custom application is an MVC app - running as an IIS application as a subdirectory within client's site. I am writing the cookie and if successful, redirecting the customer to a page on Telligent Community. Hope that helps.
Simply because you set the cookie in your MVC app doesn't mean the browser will send it back to the community to use for SSO. A few examples in which this can happen:
Can you verify using either fiddler or your browser dev tools, that once your code is redirecting a user back to the community, that the browser is sending the cookie back to the server. I apologise if this sounds patronising, but I'be been bitten by issues of this kind too many times, so get a bit obsessive about ruling this issue out early on.
Here is the method in it's current state.
The challenge is that our client wants to have new set of users pilot this functionality, rather than opening this up to everyone. As a result, I can't simply change the entire site to cookie authentication. As a result, the custom app has to write the auth cookie just like Telligent Communty/Evolution does.
private void WriteFormsAuthCookieEx(CommunityUser _communityUser)
string username = _communityUser.UserName;
string userData = "username=" + username;
HttpContext context = System.Web.HttpContext.Current;
FormsAuthenticationTicket authticket = new FormsAuthenticationTicket
(1, username, DateTime.Now, DateTime.Now.AddDays(14), true, userData);
//TODO how to manually encrypt ticket????
string encryptedTicket = FormsAuthentication.Encrypt(authticket);
//HttpCookie authCookie = new HttpCookie(FormsAuthentication.FormsCookieName, encryptedTicket);
HttpCookie authCookie = new HttpCookie(".Telligent.Evolution", encryptedTicket);
//if (chkBoxRememberMe.Checked)
// authCookie.Expires = authticket.Expiration;
authCookie.Expires = authticket.Expiration;
authCookie.Domain = FormsAuthentication.CookieDomain;
// added from above
authCookie.Path = "/";
//context.Response.Cookies["CSUser"]["roles"] = "Everyone, Registered Users";
HttpCookie emailAddressCookie = new HttpCookie("CSUserProfile");
emailAddressCookie.Values.Add("Email", _communityUser.PrivateEmail);
emailAddressCookie.Values.Add("commonname", "My User");
//if (chkBoxRememberMe.Checked)
// emailAddressCookie.Expires = authticket.Expiration;
emailAddressCookie.Expires = authticket.Expiration;
emailAddressCookie.Domain = FormsAuthentication.CookieDomain;
So from the code you're using, it looks like you're using Forms SSO rather than Cookie SSO.
So you want to be following the documentation at
telligent.com/.../24253.forms-authentication.aspx instead of the lines you provided above.
The one concern I have is that you're suggesting that you're only using partial SSO for this community. Our SSO Modules are designed to be all or nothing - whilst you may be able to get them to work in a partial authentication scenario, they haven't really been designed for this scenario so your milage may vary.
The client is currently using Forms authentication for their site, with Telligent Evolution controlling the authentication. Does that help?

Acerca del autorJack Kolinski
jackkolinski The Villages, Florida, USA
The best way to learn "who I am" is to read my self-published memoir, Baker's Dozen. "TMI!" I agree. Short of that I am a retired civil trial attorney; the seventh of thirteen children raised in a "good Catholic" family; a proud husband and father of four beautiful daughters, six gorgeous grandchildren (with number seven on the way as this is being written); author of The Bible (According to Jack) Part I The Old Testament and Part II The New Testament, sincere, humorous and long overdue re-writes of the bible (see excerpts at biblejack.com); and a dedicated atheist who refuses to accept another hundred years of superstition and ignorance masquerading as religion and "faith." How To Cure Religion (With No Adverse Side Effects) is my gift to humanity, my effort to "pay forward" all of the goodness, love, education and knowledge bestowed on me by my parents, siblings, friends, daughters and freethinkers dating back to Epicurus and extending through Robert Ingersoll and Carl Sagan. Enjoy!

Lubbock Area United Way announced raising the largest campaign total ever to a crowd of more than 700 volunteers, donors, and agency representatives at a celebration luncheon today. Campaign Chair Brad Moran announced that $5,714,263 has been pledged to support United Way's 23 Community Partner Agencies during the coming year.
The campaign total is 101.1% of the campaign goal of $5,653,434 announced in August. In its 68 year history, Lubbock Area United Way has raised more than $152 million to support human service organizations serving Lubbock and communities in the surrounding area.
"Thanks to the generosity of our great community United Way can continue to fulfill their mission of Giving People Hope," said Moran after the announcement.
Loaned Executive Chair John Baker recognized the 53 volunteers in the Loaned Executive Division for their work in assisting more than 200 businesses with their employee campaigns. The Loaned Executives and JumpStart divisions were responsible for raising more than $3.1 million, which is 54% of the total amount raised in the campaign.
The program also included an "Outstanding New Workplace Campaign" presented to Reagor Dykes Auto Group for raising $75,274 during their first ever workplace campaign; recognition of Speakers' Bureau volunteers by Marketing Chair Vickie Bennett for their work in making presentations to more than 6,600 people during the campaign; student entertainment from the Coronado High School Show Choir "Scarlet Fever;" and guest speaker Monica Williams from Communities in Schools of the South Plains who spoke about the impact United Way has on the community and its Partner Agencies.

Paul Goldschmidt set a Diamondbacks record with his third grand slam of the season on Tuesday night and became the first NL player to drive in 100 runs, powering Arizona to a 5-2 victory over the Cincinnati Reds.
Goldschmidt connected in the eighth inning off J.J. Hoover, ending the reliever's streak of 23 scoreless appearances. His 31st homer tied him with Pittsburgh's Pedro Alvarez for the NL lead. All of his career grand slams have come this season.
Left-hander Patrick Corbin (13-3) stymied Cincinnati's lefty-dominated lineup, pitching a six-hitter, including Chris Heisey's two-run homer, during his second complete game. Corbin matched his career high with 10 strikeouts.
The left-hander shut down the Reds' left-handed threats -- Shin-Soo Choo, Joey Votto and Jay Bruce were a combined 0 for 12 with seven strikeouts.

With the region in the grip of a stifling heat wave, the County reminds the public to take precautions, as well as keep an eye on elderly and disabled relatives and neighbors to make sure they're keeping cool.
"Seniors with limited mobility, as well as the disabled and ill, are especially vulnerable to high temperatures," said Dean Sidelinger, M.D., M.S.Ed., County Deputy Public Health Officer. "If they can't cool off at home, take them to a Cool Zone, or mall or other air-conditioned location."
The Health and Human Services Agency Aging and Independence Services' Cool Zone program offers more than 100 locations for anyone to beat the heat. Call toll free 1-800-510-2020 or 2-1-1 for information. View Cool Zone sites (PDF) and tips for staying cool.
The public is also reminded to never leave children or pets unattended in vehicles for any period of time, even with the windows down, as heat can rise to dangerous levels inside vehicles.
To beat the effects of high heat:
Heat exhaustion, or heat stroke, can occur in anyone, but especially in people who have difficulty regulating their body temperature, including: Children up to age 4, those 65 or older, people who are overweight, and people ill or on certain medications. Heat exhaustion is marked by weakness, nausea, vomiting, headache and muscle aches. To treat heat exhaustion, cool the victim off quickly, and provide water or diluted sports drinks like Gatorade.
Signs of heat stroke include: Lack of sweating, rapid pulse, headache, nausea, confusion, and even unconsciousness. If someone is suffering from heat stroke, call 9-1-1, loosen or remove the victim's clothing, and spray or pour water on their skin.
Take similar steps if your pet suffers from heat stress, and take the animal to the veterinarian immediately. Also, never leave pets or children unattended inside a vehicle at any time. Temperatures can quickly reach deadly levels even with windows slightly open and in mild weather.

The Montgomery Police Department says it has made two arrests in connection with the city's 16th homicide of 2013.
Authorities did not have to search far for their suspects. Both were already in custody at the Montgomery County Detention Facility on capital murder charges in connection to the city's 44th homicide of the year.
MPD investigators are charging Elijah Frazier, 19, and Rodricko Davis, 22, both of Montgomery, with one count each of capital murder in the March 15, 2013 death of Larry Wells.
Wells was gunned down in the 1100 block of E.D. Nixon Avenue in what authorities now believe was during the course of a robbery.
Both Frazier and Davis are being held without bond.

View frequently asked questions about the Hispanic-White achievement gap report.
Achievement gaps between Black and White students are featured in every NAEP report card. While the report cards provide an overview of national gaps, this study presents details on achievement gaps in the states. It examines how Black and White students' performance has changed over time, how achievement gaps in the states have changed, and how gaps in the states compare to gaps nationwide.
The report uses results from all reading and mathematics assessments conducted until 2004 for long-term trend NAEP and until 2007 for main NAEP to examine performance gaps. Long-term trend includes the performance of 9- and 13-year olds, while main NAEP reports on 4th- and 8th-graders.
For both grade levels, there was generally a larger percentage of White than Black students who participated in the 2007 assessments at the national level. For example, the 2007 mathematics assessment student sample was 55% White and 17% Black for fourth grade and 55% White and 17% Black for eighth grade.
Generally, there were more White students than Black students who participated in the assessments at the state level; however, there were a few states (such as Mississippi and the District of Columbia) within which there were more Black than White student participants.
The report uses public school data from grades 4 and 8 mathematics and reading assessments to produce the following:
For more information, see the report abstract and download the report.
Not all states have enough Black, White, or Hispanic students to obtain reliable data. For example, Wyoming does not have enough Black students, and at grade 8, the District of Columbia does not have enough White students.
All NAEP results are based on samples, and a margin of error is associated with each score and score difference. While in most cases, White students numerically score higher than their Black or Hispanic peers, not all of these differences are within the margin of error. In looking at the gaps, it is important to consider that not all numerical differences between Black and White and between Hispanic and White students are statistically significant; only gaps and changes that are statistically significant are discussed in NAEP reports.
To learn more about the achievement gaps in your state, try out the State Comparisons Tool. For additional information, visit http://nces.ed.gov/nationsreportcard/studies/gaps/ to download the report.
