Nokia and Microsoft: a few thoughts
- Windows Phone 7 is a smarter choice than Android, because there are already so many Android licensees. Nokia might actually be able to differentiate itself with a good WP7 phone.
- Microsofts WP7 partners: Where does the Nokia deal leave them? Will they be 2nd-class citizens? Partnering with Microsoft is clearly a risky proposition (PlaysForSure comes to mind, where MS abandoned its partners in favor of the in-house Zune).
- MeeGo: seems to be in too bad a shape to be even a mid-term
option for Nokia. This is very sad. Foregoing MeeGoo is sure to damage
morale at Nokia. It will also cost them the demographics of software
tinkerers, as those tend to stay away from MS technologies. They will
probably migrate to
WebOS or Android. That group is small, but contains many creative developers.
- That Nokia hasn't been able to create a competitive smartphone OS by
now shows just how bad things are. Daring Fireball links to an ex-Nokia exec's reaction to Elop's leaked memo.
That reaction is indicative of how much in denial Nokia's management
has been. And its chaotic, lengthy style also speaks volumes.

- How much of this had been planned all along? When the Nokia board hired then-Microsoftie Elop, was that already part of the deal? They must have at least favorably considered the MS option. [1] is the latest update on this issue.
- Long-term relevance of Nokia: At least the decision brings focus to Nokia. But one has to wonder how Nokia will remain relevant long-term. Nokia should probably have bought Palm, which might have been a better match for both companies. (I'm skeptical about HP as a company, but so far they have made some positive moves.)

- Nokia hints we'll see first Windows Phone 7 device this year
According to Stephen Elop, the "final decision" to go with Windows Phone "just happened on Thursday night of last week." Elop later expanded – in response to a question audience about whether he was a trojan horse – that the "entire management team" was involved in the process, and that "of course the board of directors of Nokia are the only ones that can make this significant of a decision about Nokia," which they made on Thursday night [a week before the Friday event, 2011-02-11].
- Nokia CEO: Nokia to get billions from Microsoft
Elop said Finland-based Nokia had been courted by Google Inc. as well, which sought to convince it to use its popular Android software for smart phones. Microsoft's payments are a recognition that Nokia had "substantial value to contribute," said Elop, who until recently was a Microsoft executive.
- Nokia's marginalization of MeeGo came as a surprise to Intel
[...] would you have also guessed Nokia kept Chipzilla in the dark about its new direction until the day it announced it to the world? [...] Nokia dedicated only a three-man external team to the development of UI customizations for MeeGo. Not exactly the hugest investment in the world, we'd say, and when you consider Nokia and Microsoft already have concept devices drawn up, you've got to think plans to abandon MeeGo as a sincere flagship strategy were materializing in Espoo a long time before this event.

I haven't touched a Win Phone 7 yet, but from some reviews, it seems that there is little room to "differentiate itself" on this platform, the phones are said be almost clones because of strict MS rules.
And well, some companies doesn't hesitate to make phones using various systems (WP7, Android, etc.), so perhaps Nokia can do that too.
Claude Lalyre replied on Tue, 2011/02/15 - 4:59am
The only truth is that Nokia relied on its past success and did not bring anything relevant since...
And the only truth is that Apple was so innovative with their iPhone, iOs and AppStore concept. Then Google came into the party, and they were damned good with their Android platform. But the key success is the fact that it was Open Source, open for every body, and that's the master key of their success !
Be open minded, and respectfull of engineers around the world those who are coding the Smartphone applications, that is the explanation of the Google success ! And because of this, Apple should take care that Google should not defeat them definitively on the Smartphone business.
This is as simple as that !
Anthony Bennis replied on Tue, 2011/02/15 - 8:24am
It's going to be hard to differenciate their product with Windows 7. One of Nokia's strong selling point wasn't their sexy devices, it was the usability of the platform (a little bland, but useable).
If I were Nokia CEO, I'd go with Android. Android is completely customiseble, so they could release a Nokia themed OS with Nokia apps. Maybe they could extend Android to support their Ovi apps, support Qt developers? At any rate, it would leverage the benefits of Android and free them to extend it with unique Nokia selling points.
Axel Rauschmayer replied on Tue, 2011/02/15 - 9:42am in response to: Anthony Bennis
Qt plus something would have been nice.
To stand out on Android, you have to be really smart. An example of a company making smart moves is Amazon. Their app store is "yet another one", but they are putting a lot of effort into UI, curation, and billing. As a result, it is a worthy addition to the Android ecosystem.
If Nokia gets paid a lot of money and is able to collaborate closely with MS, then that might make the deal interesting enough (for Nokia). I agree with you on Nokia's selling point, but in collaboration with MS, Nokia might actually produce a phone that is unique among all WP7 phones. Something that would be harder to do on Android.
Axel Rauschmayer replied on Tue, 2011/02/15 - 10:00am in response to: Claude Lalyre
I agree, but other factors come into play, too.
- Google's openness has many aspects to it: Not all of Android is open (not all Android phones have all of Google's apps or the Android Market), you still have to root (=jail-break) your device if you want to tinker with it freely, the freedom to change the OS is used by many carriers to add their bloatware. In case I sound like an Android hater: I'm not! I like the environment and think that Honeycomb will be a fine tablet OS.
- What I have seen of WP7 actually looks quite promising, they are making good decisions (especially usability-wise), but have a lot of catching up to do.
- Apple's control is not all bad for developers.

The Chesterfield Planning Commission is trying to figure out how many children is too many in home-based day cares.
However, members are realizing that it is not easy to come up with an answer. They met Monday afternoon to set a limit on how many children can be in a home-based daycare, which would depend on the home's square feet. However, the commission decided to table this issue until its February meeting.
Right now, in-home day cares can have no more than 12 children at a time. This is in addition to the provider's own children.
Some say the commission does not have the authority to say how many children can be in a home. Others point to other states that have a "square-foot-per-child requirement," but it can be tricky because, for example, babies don't need as much room as nine-year-olds.
Commission members say they want regulations in place that will protect the children in day care as well the day care's neighbors.

By ASHLEIGH LIVINGSTON
---- — SCHUYLER FALLS — At just 5 years old, Miriam Sayward's love of animals and knack for storytelling has earned her national recognition.
The Schuyler Falls child recently won third place in the Kindergarten Division of the national PBS Kids' Go! Writers Contest for her original story, "A Baby for Jenny," which chronicles the true tale of a goose's quest for motherhood.
The contest, intended to foster creative thinking and improve literacy and vocabulary among youth, invited children in kindergarten through third grade to create original books of fact, fiction, prose or poetry with five original illustrations.
Thousands of entries were first submitted to one of 62 participating PBS stations, including Mountain Lake PBS in Plattsburgh, which then selected first-place winners from each grade level to be entered in the national contest.
Choosing America's 2013 winning entries was a panel of judges, including award-winning children's authors Jeff Kinney and R.L. Stine and Jim Henson Co. CEO Lisa Henson.
While this was the first year Miriam was eligible to enter, her siblings, Liam, 13; Grace, 11; and Gideon, 7; have been participating in the contest for the past few years.
"Once we got into it, it was a lot of fun because they each get to write their own type of story and do their own type of art," said their mom, Melissa Sayward, who home-schools Miriam and her siblings and has incorporated the contest into their curriculum.
Gideon has won first place in his division on the local level for the past three years, topping the second-grade division this year with his story, "A New Mouse House."
And Grace received honorable mentions locally for her poetry books when she was in second and third grades.
In the 19 years Mountain Lake PBS has been participating in the contest, however, Miriam's is the first of the station's entries to place nationally.
Her story tells how Jenny, one of several geese living on the Saywards' farm, was eager to have offspring but was unable to for lack of a male goose.
"She always wanted to have a baby because she always sits on her eggs, and they would never hatch," Miriam said.
The family's duck, Mocha, however, had no trouble reproducing, and after disappearing for nearly a month, returned to the farm with 15 ducklings.
"First, Mocha, she went away, and then she came back with ducklings, but some of them really didn't keep up, and Jenny went over and got the other ones and took them back to Mocha," Miriam said.
From then on, Jenny aided Mocha in caring for the ducklings, finding them bugs to eat and protecting them from danger.
"I like Jenny and Mocha, and I like Jenny's babies, and I just wanted to write about Jenny and Mocha," Miriam said.
"Jenny used to chase everyone unmercifully around the farm," Melissa added, "so we were actually all thrilled when she finally had something to herd."
To illustrate her story, Miriam used mixed media, including construction paper, Easter grass and an actual photo of Jenny.
"I used cotton balls to make Mocha's ducklings," she added.
Jane Owens, director of Outreach and Education at Mountain Lake PBS, explained that the local judges graded entries using a writing-skills rubric that assessed things like whether the stories had a beginning, middle and end.
"In addition to that, the judges felt Miriam's story was creative and imaginative in both the story line and the manner that she used art materials in the illustrations," she said.
In recognition of their success in the local portion of the contest, Miriam and Gideon, along with other contest participants, including first-grade winner Kye LaMarche and third-grade winner Harper Wolff, were invited to attend a celebration in April hosted by Mountain Lake PBS.
Miriam will also receive an MP3 player for placing in the national competition.
"It is important for area children to participate in the PBS Kids Go! Writers Contest so that they can practice their skills as young writers and also to motivate them to create stories," Owens said.

|Earthwatch offers fellowships to classroom teachers in kindergarten through grade 12 to take part in field-based science and environmental research projects. To be considered, a teacher must demonstrate interest in natural and cultural conservation, sustainability, and lifelong learning. Educator fellows must intend to remain in their current school or institution for at least one year following the fellowship. A teacher may receive no more than two fellowship awards over the course of a career. Recipients of Earthwatch educator fellowships are not eligible to apply the following year.
Educator fellowships are awarded through a competitive application process. Candidates are considered based on available funding and application quality. Fellows are assigned to projects according to their interests, skills, and availability based on expedition dates, as well as specific project needs and grant restrictions.

Recently, teachers had the opportunity to study the impact of climate change in the cloud forest of Ecuador, in the desert of Arizona, and at the Arctic's edge in Canada.
Educator fellowships cover expenses for participation in the expedition, including meals, accommodations, research permits, equipment costs, and on-site transportation. Stipends to cover some or all of the travel costs to and from an expedition site are typically provided, but vary by fellowship. Earthwatch educator fellows are considered volunteers on the expedition and are not paid for participation. Various donors fund fellowships, and educator fellows are expected to write a letter of thanks on school letterhead to the funder, care of Earthwatch, to acknowledge the fellowship.
To apply for an Earthwatch educator fellowship, teachers must first complete the Educator Fellowship Interest Form, which is available online. Applicants are contacted if Earthwatch has relevant grant funding and provided with a link to the Educator Application, which must be completed within two weeks of receipt of the link.

Ground Zero Rescue Worker Claims 9/11 Flight Recorders Were Found, Hidden
by IndepEnergy, Wed Dec 16, 2009 at 09:22:40 PM EST
As reported on Raw Story, hosting his new show on truTV former Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura probed some wrinkles in the official story of 9/11. He interviewed witnesses including a ground zero rescue worker who claims that the black box flight recorders were actually recovered.
In the show, Ventura speaks to key 9/11 truth figures such as former BYU professor Steven Jones and William Rodriguez, a nationally-acclaimed hero credited with saving dozens as he tried to escape from the World Trade Center towers on Sept. 11.
Ventura explores theories ranging from the missing black box recorders to the possibility that previously-planted explosives brought down the WTC towers.

HSR Creating Battles Between Union and Non-union Contractors

There's gambling in the casino?

Fattening up the unions and then skimming contributions back is pretty much the entire reason that the financial and environmental disaster of HSR has been foisted upon the long suffering Californian citizen.
on Feb 23, 2013 at 3:48 pm
We can run buses between SF-SJ-LA for 1/20 of the cost of HSR which will be a big scar on the state. Plus they'll be more convient, can be implemented right away and won't burden tax payers. Everyone should think about this.
on Feb 23, 2013 at 4:21 pm
Last I looked, we had these contraptions called airplanes that fly from several Northern California airports to about a dozen different Southern California airports. They leave about every 10 minutes, cost about $100, take about an hour, are very efficient, and most importantly, require no taxpayer money. Compare any of those metrics to HSR.
So what a great idea it is for our government to spend $120 BILLION to replace that. They can't think of a better use of our taxpayer money?
on Feb 23, 2013 at 7:38 pm
they can't think of a better reason because what Mr Davis said is true. It's all about paying back the unions for their "support." The unions have priced themselves out of any "real" competition so they need the politicians to rig the system for them That's what "prevailing wage" work is. It's based upon what the going UNION rate of pay PLUS BENEFITS is in a particular area. What that means is that we could be getting the work done for LESS. Should we be paying higher cost because the unions demand it? If it wasn't for "prevailing wage", unions would be toast. They don't provide anything worth what they cost.
on Feb 25, 2013 at 12:58 pm
We can only understand this high-speed rail project if we stop focusing on the trains and all the broken promises, lies, distortions, illegalities and the rest of the mismanagement.
What we should focus on is the money. This project is not about the trains; it's about the money.
California has been 'promised' $3.3 billion from the Federal Railroad Administration. They (Governor and Legislature) are working to collect those funds. What the rail authority actually does and doesn't build is irrelevant. (Except to us, the taxpayers, of course.)
The whole point is to push the free federal funds (and state bond funds) through the bureaucratic pipe lines. The funds lubricate state politics. The Unions aren't the only beneficiaries. There are zillions of contractors, their sub-contractors and their sub-contractors. Then, there are the lawyers, consultants, lobbyists, PR companies and all the rest. It's government political pork at its best.
This project has been and will continue to be a major black hole in the universe of the American and state economies.

ST. ANSGAR, Minn. (KTTC)-- The lure of shady trees and sparkling water along the Cedar River is an irresistible combination, add in some campgrounds, golf courses and parks and you have St. Ansgar.
"Don't have to go to the Twins to see a good game. Come right here to St. Ansgar," says long-time resident Karen Robertson.
With a population of less than 2,000 people, St. Ansgar is a place where everyone knows everyone. And while St. Ansgar may be small, it has a big city concept. Karen explains, "We have tremendous industry here, the young people are coming back, the schools are growing."
Karen Robertson and her husband were born and raised in the St. Ansgar area, "Our children and grand-children have gone to school here."
St. Ansgar has been long deemed the garden spot of Iowa and Karen's the main care-taker for the towns most popular garden. The paved path and bright colors of the children's garden offer a unique trail for biking, walking or jogging.
However, that's just one area that's blooming in St. Ansgar. "We offer a lot with our businesses downtown."
Not only does the town have one of the most modern oat processing plants in all of North America, but it has more than 60 businesses. Along the main drag you'll find everything from banks and restaurants to bridal boutiques, "The school systems great, law enforcement's great," comments resident Jim Sloane.
The St. Ansgar community's most important industry is modern, large-scale agriculture. A tractor or two headed down main street isn't anything out of the ordinary for these folks, "There's nothing bad about this except for the rain."
On our visit to St. Ansgar Rain was the talk of the town, "Never seen it this bad...never," in his 32 years living in the rural area Sloane says he's never seen plumbing business so busy or fields so flooded.
"It's over-flowed and I've emptied it and it's filled right back up again," but as Sloane told us, these hard times once again show him why he became a part of this community.
"If anything goes wrong you help people they help you. Everybody is in it for everybody."'
The tight knit community often refers to one another as a big family. Karen explains, "We mourn with our fellow citizens and we rejoice with them."
Reflecting on her many years spent here, Karen says it would be hard to call any other place home.

Natural Factors priority is enhancing people's health.
Factor Farms:A quality herbal product starts with the highest quality fresh organic plant material. The efficacy of herbal products has always been affected by growing conditions, harvesting, processing and storage. At Factor Farms in beautiful Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada our quality can be guaranteed as we control the entire process from seedling to finished product.
To grow herbs organically no chemical fertilizers, herbicides, fungicides or pesticides are allowed. We use only natural substances that have been approved by the organic industry. You can be assured that the fresh herb extracts contain no traces of unwanted chemical. Even the seed and plant sources are organic.
To be organically certified, certification inspectors work closely with growers to ensure that the organic standards are adhered to. We must keep detailed records of what we use on our farm. Even after harvest, processing is regulated so that no harmful chemicals are used to manufacture the fresh herb extracts. Local cultivation of medicinal herbs at Factors Farms ensures that the herbs are picked, processed, and extracted at just the right time when the active ingredients are at their peak.
Natural Factor knows that the natural habitats of many herbs are shrinking and that over-harvesting from the wild can endanger native medicinal plant populations. So organic cultivation of herbs is preferred over "wild crafting".

Lester and Ella in 1950
A great occasion is jazz film history...
Photographer Gjon Mili from Life Magazine hooked up in 1944 with Norman Granz to produce a short film called "Jammin' the Blues. " It was so good it was nominated for Best Short Subject at the 1945 Academy Awards,
Players included Lester Young, Red Callendar, Harry Edison, "Big" Sid Catlett, Illinois Jacquet, Barney Kessel, Jo Jones and Marie Bryant.
In 1950, the two took another shot at it using musicians from Granz's Jazz at the Philharmonic tour.
Sadly, the funding dried up and the project was never completed. This footage sat for 50 years in storage unwatched.
I wonder what else is out there?
The players:
Harry 'Sweets' Edison: trumpet
Lester Young: Tenor Sax
Flip Phillips: Tenor Sax
Bill Harris: Trombone
Hank Jones: Piano
Ray Brown: Bass
Buddy Rich: Drums
Ella Fitzgerald: Vocals

A program that seeks to blend engaging topics, theology and beer is approaching its one-year anniversary.
Rev. Mark Michael, of Christ Episcopal Church in Cooperstown and his wife, Rev. Allison Michael of Zion St. John's Luthern Church in Seward, started "Theology On Tap" in November of last year as a way to connect with people who don't normally go to church.
"We're in an increasingly secular part of the world," said Mark, saying that the events draw a mixture of churchgoing and non-churchgoing participants.
"Theology on Tap" takes place on the second Friday of every month starting at 8 p.m. at the Council Rock Brewery in Cooperstown. Each session is centered around a question or topic that participants use as a jumping off point.
"Different topics speak to different groups of people," said Allison. "We never know going in if we're going to have three people or 20."
This month's topic was "The greatest person I ever knew."
"We actually had so many people that we broke up into two groups," said Mark, who said that 13 people showed up for the event, and that the two groups came back together at the end of the discussion.
Allison said that attendance at "Theology on Tap" was strongest this and last fall, with participation trailing off a bit in the summer. She says that the sessions typically draw 10 to 15 people.
"The beer kind of breaks down some of the barriers," said Mark. "Its led to some really good, stimulating conversation."
Mark said that one of the purposes of "Theology on Tap" was to demonstrate what a respectful, engaging conversation looks like, while Allison said that the prominence that scripture plays in the program depended on the session and its topic.
"We try to let that (discussions of theology) happen out of the context of that discussion," said Mark, a former teacher. "I look at this as a way of teaching moral theology to adults."

Heritage group to lead campaign for Beamish site
18 December 2008
By Eoin English
HERITAGE campaigners are planning to fight to save the home of Ireland's oldest brewery, Beamish & Crawford in Cork.
The National Conservation and Heritage Group, which helped persuade brewing giants Diageo to develop the Guinness Storehouse as a tourist attraction, has confirmed it will mount a similar campaign to save Cork's historic South Gate brewery site.
The group's chairman, Dublin-based Damien Cassidy, said the site, in the heart of Cork's historic core and with its striking mock-Tudor frontage, has huge tourism potential. The brewery, founded in Cork in 1792, is to close next March with the loss of 120 jobs.
The decision was announced last month after months of speculation about its future following the Competition Authority's green light for its takeover by Heineken Ireland.
Heineken Ireland said it decided to close Beamish after a "a review of both individual brewing operations with particular focus on capacity, expansion capability and future investmentâ€.
Mr Cassidy, who led a campaign to save Kilmainham Gaol, said he is hoping to form and then lead an apolitical delegation that would seek a meeting with senior Heineken executives in the coming weeks to discuss the Beamish project.
The group held similar meetings with Diageo when the Guinness brewing site in St James's Gate, Dublin, was facing sale and possible development. The Guinness Storehouse is now Ireland's top visitor attraction and the world's third biggest "brand experienceâ€. Last month, it welcomed its millionth visitor since opening in 2000.
Mr Cassidy said he will stress the success of the Storehouse when the delegation meets Heineken executives in coming weeks.
"We will put the case to Heineken to maintain some brewing on the site and save the buildings on cultural and heritage grounds, but most importantly on tourism grounds,†he said.
He said the site is perfectly positioned in a historic part of the city, close to South Gate Bridge and St Fin Barre's Cathedral.
* The group has invited the public to attend an open meeting at the Flying Enterprise Bar, near the brewery, at 7pm on Saturday.
Pug wrote:shouldnt cork city council be all over this?
njcork wrote:I'm also in total agreement with the micro-brewery idea. there isn't a massive amount of attractions for tourists in the city as it is, so a fun day out at beamish's with a couple of complimentary pints at the end would be a real money spinner. plus they could demonstrate the 17th/18th century brewing process with more free samples. i know i'd go....possibly every day.

Just before midnight on Saturday the Pima County Sheriff's Department responded to 5500 S. Gila Avenue in Tucson on a reported suspicious vehicle call. Officers found 53-year-old Richard Ortiz, a former high school wrestling coach and a 15-year-old female both partially dressed.
Ortiz reportedly stopped coaching at Tucson High School in January, but remained a liaison for the team, and was involved in private lessons with the victim since March 2012.
Ortiz was arrested for sexual conduct with a minor, after he was supposed to take the victim home Saturday night but instead took her to engage in sexual activity.

By ASHLEIGH LIVINGSTON
---- — PLATTSBURGH — Nearly 70 percent of the state's third- through eighth-graders are not proficient in English language arts and math, according to this year's state test scores.
And the results just released from Clinton, Essex and Franklin county schools about match or exceed that figure.
Although the State Education Department forewarned that this would likely be the case due to newly implemented state standards, it was still difficult for educators like Kathryn Brown to see the results for herself.
"The wind still gets knocked out of you," said the Chazy Central Rural School teacher.
Commissioner of Education Dr. John King Jr., who discussed the scores during a media conference call Wednesday, said that just 31.1 percent of students in grades three through eight across the state met or exceeded the English-language-arts proficiency standard and 31 percent, the math proficiency standard.
The numbers mark a dramatic drop in scores from last year, when 55.1 percent of students in those grades across the state met or exceeded the English-language-arts (ELA) proficiency standard and 64.8, the math proficiency standard.
In Clinton County schools, 26.25 percent scored high enough to match or better the standard in English language arts, with 22.55 percent passing the math-proficiency tests.
The ELA percentage for students in Essex County schools came in at 30.18 percent, with 22.1 percent meeting or exceeding the math standard.
And in Franklin County, 19.2 percent of pupils who took the tests met or bettered the ELA standard, with 16.06 percent passing in math.
Numbers were not available on Wednesday for individual school districts.
"The first thing we need to realize is that it is not going to be productive to compare these scores to last year's," Elizabethtown-Lewis Central School Superintendent Scott Osborne said in an interview with the Press-Republican.
"These tests are based upon new curriculum that other states are taking a year to become familiar with. In New York, we were the only state, I believe, to jump into the new assessments immediately."
The results, King said, establish a new baseline.
That new curriculum, first implemented and tested during the 2012-13 academic year, is that of the Common Core Standards.
"Its important to emphasize that the changes in scores do not mean that schools have taught less or students have learned less," King said.
The standards, he explained, are designed to better prepare students for success in college and career and are a much more rigorous curriculum than was taught before.
"There is more of a focus on new skill sets needed in the workplace: writing more authentically, analyzing something that you read in a deeper fashion," Osborne said.
"There is also added emphasis on the skills that we believe are needed in the 21st century, such as collaboration and critical thinking."
Still, King noted, the test scores "reflect what we have long known about the college and career readiness of our students."
While the state's graduation rate is 74 percent, he noted, just 35.3 percent of those students are leaving high school college- and career-ready.
Brown, however, feels the Common Core is not developmentally appropriate, especially for the younger grade levels.
"We're talking about tests that are for third-through-eighth graders ... No standardized test given to a third-through-eighth-grader determines whether or not they are college and career ready.
"There is absolutely no way that 31 percent of the children are at grade level and everybody else isn't," she said.
But the country and the state, according to King, have been reluctant in past years to acknowledge just how unprepared students really are for success after high school.
"We have worked over the last four years ... to provide a more accurate view," he said, adding that it is far better to give families a picture of their students' performance in fourth grade rather than allowing them to enter college without the proper tools.
At Elizabethtown-Lewis Central, according to Osborne, the low scores reflect the challenge the school faced in implementing curriculum changes ahead of the testing sequence.
"Teachers have had to work particularly hard across the district to match the curriculum that was just being rolled out," he said.
"The scores are certainly going to be sobering, and it was tough when the Common Core was rolled out, and right after it, we've got the testing being changed," added Donna André, superintendent of St. Regis Falls and Brushton-Moira central schools.
But allowing schools to give tests based on the old standards would have led to less Common Core instruction in the classrooms, according to King.
"It would have made no sense to have an assessment based on a different set of standards than we're trying to teach in our schools," he said.
This year's low scores, the commissioner continued, are not a remediation problem, but an instruction problem.
"Teachers need to spend time adapting their approach to instruction," he said.
Brown noted, however, that adapting instruction for 2013-14 will be difficult, considering that the test results have been released just three weeks before the start of the school year.
Osborne and André are encouraged, though, by the state's plans to release more detailed information about the results in the near future.
"That will help us in our work to refine the curriculum," Osborne said.
"We're going to slow down and look at the results and plan for our students," André added.
At Malone Central School, Superintendent Jerry Griffin hopes to keep the focus on implementing the Common Core rather than on the poor test results.
"We think our students will be better prepared to take these assessments at the end of next school year," he said.
This year's dramatic decline in scores, King emphasized, should not be used to critique schools and their faculty and staff.
"That would be wrong," he said. "We have taken careful steps to ensure teacher accountability will not be affected by lower proficiency rates."
In addition, the 2012-13 test results will not be a factor in determining Focus Districts and Priority Schools.
"I don't think parents, at this point, should be worried about these scores," Osborne said. "The state has changed the game.
"It's our job as a school to respond to that, not react. We plan to put more focus on aligning our curriculum to the Common Core."
Brown said she isn't worried about the CCRS community lacking confidence in her school as a result of the scores, but she knows it will be difficult for families to comprehend how a student who was deemed proficient last year is no longer considered so.
"My school has a reputation of academic excellence, and we've worked very hard to do that," she said, "but I do think there's going to be a significant amount of confusion."
King said the Education Department will be sending letters to parents explaining the new baseline, as well as the importance of knowing that teachers, administration and school boards have been working hard to improve their children's academic success.
In addition to utilizing the Academic Intervention Services and Response to Intervention programs that are available for struggling students, he noted, parents must also continue to talk with their children's teachers and take an active role in their education.
"There's no simple answer here," King said. "There's just hard work ahead to make sure that all of our students get the skills that they need."
He recommended that parents and educators visit engageny.org for more information on the Common Core and state assessments.
Brown stressed that parents, grandparents and community members need to speak directly with their schools' administration and teachers to ask for help making sense of students' test results.
"Be informed about what that test is and what's being asked of the student," she said.

I'm having some problems accessing an ASP.NET website hosted on an internal iis 6 server that I am maintaining. Some users can get to the site, others (including myself can't).
The app has Windows Authentication mode set in the web.config file, and Integrated Windows Authentication checked in the Website properties. Anonymous access is not checked.
In the IIS logs, I see 2 lines when I make a request for the site's default page (Default.aspx). The first is a 401.2 error, and the 2nd is a 302.0 error.
I've tried switching around as many security settings as I can think of, but had no luck yet. Can someone please help? I'm mainly a programmer, but have done a little IIS administration, so it is probably something quite simple I am missing.

Went to the Sail & Anchor during a winter trip to WA. Loved the place. It was warm and welcoming and a great crowd. Decor and menus for beer were well presented and you are spoilt for choice of what beer to try next. Beer was better on tap, as usual, compared to bottled version I have ride since.

Went on a Tuesday night in March.
Pub is all high ceilings, multi room, two floors, very well presented for Colonial style. However, quite empty on a fine warm night. Upstairs bars all shut, a few folks drinking in verandah, getting beers from downstairs.
Beers go on for ever... 43 taps noted, but that would be some duplicates on first floor among that - let's say two dozen. Beer menus given out freely. Locals and some overseas all available. I had the Feral Runt, nice for a re-visit, was fresh. Well priced for what they are.
Service was pleasant but from a new hire. So the young lady was most helpful, but all info on beers second hand.
Did not try food.
Would like to have gone back on the weekend, (Brenden!!) but time did not permit.

Well established pub in the centre of Fremantle. I hadn't been for years but stopped in for a pint after lunch a couple of months back and was so impressed by the selection of world class beers on tap Ive dropped in every time Ive been in Freo since. 43 taps and its great to see that they are not wasted on any macros. Mikkeller, Nogne, Brewdog among the internationals on tap. Feral, Nail and even Monk (microbrewery/pub across the road from Sail and Anchor) from WA. They have their own beer on tap too, the IPA is pretty good. Great selection and they keep it rotating so theyll be something new for you each visit. Well worth a tasting paddle. Never tried the food but looks like pretty typical pub fare. Atmosphere is OK. I have been in past when they had an acoustic trio playing. For me, the quality and rarity of the beer on offer is the top criteria for rating a pub, and these guys get a big tick there.

I've revised my review because this place now has a new brewer and more of an emphasis on the house beers. Had the Vienna Red Lager today which was fantastic!!
Will be back to go through the rest of their beers. arlic Prawn Pizza was really good & the atmosphere is second to none - you just don't get pubs like this up in Perth. Nice old pictures dotted around the wall which depict old Fremantle - which hasn't been disturbed all that much, unlike Perth which was architecturaly butchered in the 70s.
Nice views of the brewery as well! Apparently tours are available.

A really nice bar...Cool vibes, nice people from what I gathered, and decent prices. Good location, too, and the food looked pretty good as well.
Unfortunately the beer they brew there ain't that great. I think my first batch of homebrew probably came out better than what I tasted on their sampler platter. For $10 you get 4 8-ounce glasses of their brews. I didn't try the Pilsner, but the wheat tasted young, the blueberry beer wasn't very good, and the IPA tasted, as my wife put it, "like dirty socks." The stout wasn't too bad, though.
Keep trying, guys.

By ASHLEIGH LIVINGSTON
---- — PLATTSBURGH — Clinton Community College has made it easier for students to pursue careers in social work.
The school recently developed two courses on the subject, Introduction to Social Work and Introduction to Social Welfare, to give students an opportunity to explore the topic.
"I think it's good for a lot of students who are interested in social work but aren't really sure if it's for them," said Ryan Gray, a student in Robert Luckett's Introduction to Social Work class.
In addition, said Denise Coughlin, Ph.D. and chairperson of the college's Social and Behavioral Sciences Department, the classes aim to prepare students who already know they want to work in the field.
Though Luckett is one of several CCC employees tagged for layoff in 2013-14 as a result of the school's anticipated $600,000 budget gap, the social-work classes remain on the course schedule for next school year.
Credits from the courses are transferable to other SUNY schools, including SUNY Plattsburgh, which offers a bachelor's degree in social work and has guided CCC in developing the classes, according to Coughlin.
Before the creation of the courses, she noted, students who wished to pursue a social-work degree had to major in sociology, psychology or human services at Clinton Community.
The college's Associate in Applied Science degree in human services, Coughlin said, prepares students to go straight to work rather than continue their education, and about 15 credits of the degree do not transfer anywhere.
Now, however, students may choose to take the new credits as part of a general humanities or social-sciences degree or may opt to do individual study, which consists of the two social-work courses and other classes selected by Coughlin's department.
Students who complete the individual study are able to transfer into a SUNY social-work program with no credit loss, assuming they are accepted to one of the four-year schools.
"Those two classes created a bridge," Coughlin said.
Still, the individual-study option is a temporary measure the college has in place while it moves to create an Associate in Arts degree in pre-social work.
The degree would be the first of its kind within the SUNY system and would simply formalize Clinton Community's current individual-study option.
CCC will submit an application to SUNY in the coming months, asking for implementation of the program; however, Coughlin said, even if the request were to be denied, the college would continue to offer the two courses.
The idea, she noted, is that students could obtain a pre-social work degree at Clinton Community over two years and then transfer to SUNY Plattsburgh, where they could earn a bachelor's degree in another two years.
While a bachelor's degree in psychology does not qualify the recipient as a psychologist, Coughlin said, a person with a four-year degree in social work is considered a social worker.
And social workers with six-year degrees have even more functionality and mobility in their careers, she noted, so students are encouraged to pursue a master's in the field.
Though SUNY Plattsburgh does not offer a master's degree in social work, a few accredited online master's programs exist. So students who wish to stay in the area could enroll, Coughlin said.
In fact, she anticipates more jobs will be available for social workers in the North Country in the future, as the National Association of Social Workers is predicting an increased need for the professionals in rural areas.
"The field of social work is expected to grow faster than the average of all other occupations through 2018," Coughlin said.

Finance for Managers Course
Corporate Training
Why Finance Management?
To survive, business owners and managers must be able to rise above the minutia of day-today business decisions and see the bigger picture.
They must understand how the cogs of business fit together to impact on profitability and cash flow, and they must be able to assess the impact of their potential decisions on the success of the business.
To truly understand the business, owners and managers have to understand how their business makes money – in other words, how it generates sales, maximises profit and manages cash. They need to understand that every action taken and every decision in each area of their business will impact these ultimate measures of business success.
Finance for Non Financial Managers Qualification
Every manager needs to understand finance if they are to play an active role in helping their organisation achieve its objectives. However, not every manager needs the same level of skill and understanding as specialist financial managers. A good knowledge of the key concepts of prudent financial management as modern financial accounting should equip all managers with the knowledge they require.
In the Chartered Management Institute's Diploma in Management there is an excellent module on financial management (043 Effective Financial Management). APMG-International's Certificate in Finance for Non-Financial Managers covers the syllabus from that module and provides unit accreditation for the complete Diploma.
Finance for Non Financial Managers Exam Details
- One hour multiple choice exam
- Closed book
- 25 questions
- A copy of the glossary and a calculator are permitted in the exam
- Candidates will need to achieve 18 out of 25 to pass.

Department of Natural Resources officers are investigating the death of a manatee discovered in Lake Marion, over 100 miles from the Atlantic Ocean.
Henry Branham was searching for treasure along a beach at Camp Bob Cooper on Monday discovered the mammal bobbing in the water just offshore. He alerted a camp supervisor who called DNR.
"I immediately went to a computer and did some research and learned they travel as far north as New York," said Branham.
But to find them in a closed water system is uncommon. The Department of Natural Resources believes this one got into Lake Marion from the boat locks at nearby Lake Moultrie.
Officers on Wednesday towed the sea cow to shore where it was loaded onto a trailer and taken to a veterinarian who will work to determine a cause of death.
The manatee had visible scars which could be evidence of a collision with a speedboat. Another likely cause of death could be cold exposure.
Manatees are usually found in coastal areas, including rivers, bays and canals. The mammals are known to migrate hundreds of miles and are usually spotted along the South Carolina coast in the summer months. In the winter, the sea cows tend to populate the waters near Florida.
DNR officers say there had been several reported sightings of the manatee swimming in the lake in the weeks leading up to the discovery of its body.
They had been searching for the sea cow, but were able to find it. Even if they had found it, officers say there wasn't much they could have done. Federal law prohibits baiting or capturing manatees.
DNR's Derrell Shipes says there are protocols in place that should have kept this from happening.
"This one got through undetected," said Shipes.
Shipes says the cooler water is the likely cause of death.
"These animals are what you could call pioneering animals," he said. "Unfortunately, they sometimes pioneer into areas where they can't over winter."
It has been years since a manatee has been discovered in Lake Marion, according to DNR.
After performing a necropsy on the sea cow, officials say they will give it a proper burial.
"Its just an act of Mother Nature," said Ed Laney with the DNR. "We're gonna do the right thing and see that it gets a proper burial."

Across the Atlantic, an Adirondack-style debate over conservation
Midhurst, , Jan 13, 2010 — The Adirondack Park continues to be a lightning rod in the North Country. The debate often pits conservationists against development. Last October state Assemblywoman Teresa Sayward declared that "the great experiment is a failure" because of its constraints on economic development. Green groups argue that the Park is a boon for local economies that trade on the region's unique character.
One question is whether the Adirondack model is one that can be exported and used around the world. For example, former APA chairman Ross Whaley expressed skepticism in an interview last year. But across the Atlantic, in Great Britain, a similar scenario is being played out.
A national park in southeast England is using similar land use and zoning rules. Jacob Resneck visited the area recently and found that conservation efforts across the Atlantic are sparking a very similar debate. Go to full article

Jacob Resneck caught up with some of the soldiers at the armory in Saranac Lake just hours before they left and has our story. Go to full article
APA faces multi-county lawsuit over new regulations
Jan 23, 2009 — Controversial regulations adopted by the Adirondack Park Agency late last year will have their day in court. Nine Adirondack counties as well as private property groups are challenging new rules that change the way the park agency regulates shoreline development and defines hunting and fishing cabins.

ORDA revives conference center project
Jan 12, 2009 — An ambitious plan to reinvent Lake Placid's Olympic Center has been revived by the Olympic Regional Development Authority. An earlier plan to build a massive conference center was scuttled last year after bids came in 40 percent over budget. Now ORDA says it's confident it can build a smaller convention center with the money it already has. Jacob Resneck reports. Go to full article
Postcard from Whiteface: a tryout of Lookout's new trails
Jan 08, 2009 — Today is the official opening of Lookout Mountain, a new ski lift and trail system at Whiteface Mountain Ski Center in Wilmington. Even though the ribbon cutting was today, the ski area opened the lift to season pass holders eager to get an early taste of the new intermediate trail system. Jacob Resneck tried it out.

APA streamlines review of telecom towers
Dec 12, 2008 — Adirondack Park Agency commissioners have approved a new rule that would, in many cases, streamline the review process for telecommunications towers. Some environmentalists have resisted the change, which would allow APA staff to approve permits without bringing the project before the APA's Board of Commissioners. Jacob Resneck reports.

New York DEC sides with environmentalists in Adirondack Club and Resort lawsuit
Nov 26, 2008 — The state of New York is siding with environmentalists in a lawsuit filed against the town of Tupper Lake. The suit challenges the town's rezoning of more than 6,000 acres of forestland surrounding the proposed Adirondack Club and Resort. Jacob Resneck has details. Go to full article
The missing men of the "Indian Lake triangle"
Nov 07, 2008 — The vast forests and river valleys around Indian Lake in Hamilton County offer some of the wildest and most beautiful country in the Adirondacks. But that sparsely-settled region can also be dangerous. Since 2006, three men have disappeared near Indian Lake. The most recent vanished this fall. Some officials have taken to calling the area the "Indian Lake Triangle." As Jacob Resneck reports, forest rangers charged with patrolling the area downplay the idea of any mystery. They say some visitors simply aren't prepared for the rugged, remote terrain. Go to full article
Landfill expansion draws cross-border criticism
Nov 06, 2008 — Franklin County's waste authority is hoping to dramatically expand its landfill -- which sits just south of the U.S.-Canada border. The waste authority held a hearing last night to take comments on possible environmental impacts. As Jacob Resneck reports, the meeting attracted a large crowd from both sides of the border.

"The two things [president/general manager] Dave [Dombrowski] and I talked about at length is: one, the strength of this draft is pitching," scouting director Greg Smith said. "I think that's evident from where the guys were drafted this year. And two, if you look at the landscape of Major League talent that's out there, it's a lot easier to acquire position players than it is to get a good pitcher."
For the first time since 2001, the Tigers selected collegians with each of their first six picks. Four of the first five were right-handed pitchers, with two possessing fastballs that threatened triple digits on radar guns.
First-round pick Justin Verlander's arm strength is well-known. Another highly-rated prospect from the same conference, Justin Orenduff, told MLB.com earlier this year he played long toss with Verlander and watched him throw from foul line to foul line without a bounce.
Verlander's velocity reportedly tops out at 99 mph, and he said he's been clocked as high as 101 mph. That made him the hardest throwing college prospect in the draft, but fifth-round pick Collin Mahoney comes close. While Baseball America ranked Verlander as having the best fastball of draft-eligible college pitchers, it ranked Mahoney second.
"I don't know that we ever foresee Collin becoming a polished guy with command," Smith said. "His slider is going to get better. But here's a guy that has a lot of ingredients to work with."
The other early-round pitchers, second-round pick Eric Beattie from the University of Tampa and fifth-rounder Andrew Kown out of Georgia Tech, top out around the lower 90s, but have refined motions. Opponents hit around Beattie this season, but his success last summer in the Cape Cod League was hard to ignore. He scattered 25 hits and seven walks over 54 1/3 innings to go with 63 strikeouts.
Kown, meanwhile, towers over hitters at 6-foot-6 and a lanky 210 pounds. Like Beattie, Kown had a breakout summer, his coming in the Alaska League. He approaches the mid-90s but stands out with his changeup.
Here's a round-by-round list of Monday's selections after Verlander:
Round 2: Eric Beattie, RHP, University of Tampa:
Tigers scouts like his loose, easy arm motion as well as the sinking action on his fastball. His walk-to-innings ratio backs up the notion that he doesn't fool around with hitters. Described by some as a classic sinker-slider pitcher, he uses the breaking ball for ground-ball outs.
Beattie went 10-5 with a 3.38 ERA this year for the Division II school. He allowed 94 hits in 104 innings with just 22 walks and 127 strikeouts.
Round 3: Jeff Frazier, RF, Rutgers University:
"He's a big, physical guy with a power bat," was how Tigers scouting reports described him. The 6-foot-3, 200-pound right-handed hitter finished second in the Big East in batting average and home runs, and earned second-team All-America honors from USA Today Sports Weekly. He's a skilled athlete for his size and has the potential for good arm strength. Smith said he projects more as a right fielder than at center, where he played for the Scarlet Knights.
Round 4: Collin Mahoney, RHP, Clemson University
Finding two guys who throw 100 mph is tough. Finding one of them available in the fourth round is even tougher. Whether Mahoney ever develops into something more than a late-inning flame-thrower is beside the point of taking a chance after the first few rounds. At 6-foot-4 and 245 pounds, the Tigers believe he's durable enough to keep firing away.
Round 5: Andrew Kown, RHP, Georgia Tech
Another big pitcher for the Tigers' farm system, Kown takes a nine-game winning streak and a 10-1 record to next weekend's NCAA Super Regionals. He isn't afraid to work inside with his slider and cutter. What stood out to Tigers scouts was his loose, easy delivery for his size.
Round 6: Brent Dlugach, SS, Memphis
A year after Tony Giarratano became one of the jewels of last year's Tigers draft, they plucked another shortstop from Conference USA. At 6-foot-4 and 200 pounds, he's huge for a shortstop but has plus speed to go with good hands and a strong arm. Tigers scouts like his line-drive hitting and instincts for the game.
Round 7: Chris Carpenter, RHP, Bryan (Ohio) HS
Major League Scouting Bureau's report compared him to Aaron Sele, but he might throw harder than that. The 6-foot-5 righty has a power arm, according to Tigers scouts, topping out at 95 mph to go with an above-average breaking ball. He works with a high leg kick.
Round 8: Luke French, LHP, Heritage HS, Littleton, CO
Tigers scouts describe his aggressiveness as a "go-get-em attitude," but they also like how his potential projects because of his size at 6-foot-4, 220 pounds. He has a big wind-up and overhead delivery.
Round 9: Brandon Timm, CF, Broken Arrow (OK) HS
Tigers scouts called Timms a "baseball rat." At 6-foot-2 and 200 pounds, he's a strong kid who loves to play the game. He ranked as one of the top high school players available in a state heavy with top college players.
Round 10: Cory Middleton, SS, Escambia HS, Pensacola, FL
A more traditionally-sized shortstop, Middleton is an exceptional athlete who has drawn comparisons to Cubs shortstop Alex Gonzalez. The Tigers like his quick bat with power to the gaps.
Round 11: Josh Kauten, RHP, Illinois State
An athletic 6-foot-4, Kauten throws 90-94 mph with a hard slider. He spent a season and a half in the Redbirds' rotation before a two-week stint as closer helped his cause. He struck out 16 batters in 11 1/3 innings over his final four appearances, scattering a run on eight hits over that span. He was the 2003 Illinois State Male Scholar Athlete of the Year.
Round 12: Cole Miller, C, College of the Siskiyous
Tigers scouts compare Miller to Joe Girardi, a strong kid with some arm strength behind the plate and some pop with the bat, with eight home runs and 43 RBIs. He has signed a letter of intent to play at South Carolina.
Round 13: Brooks Colvin, SS, SW Missouri State
The Tigers see this four-year player as a hard-nosed, competitive type. A bit on the small side at 5-10 and 175 pounds, he hit .323 with 15 doubles and 27 RBIs. He was a second-team Academic All-American.
Round 14: James Skelton, C, West Covina (CA) HS
He's polished for a high-school player, but he needs to add some muscle to his 5-10, 165-pound frame to realize his upside. As it is, he's an athletic catcher and a switch-hitter with a line-drive swing.
Round 15: Matt O'Brien, RHP, Florida Atlantic
At 6-foot-3 and 215 pounds, he's actually kind of small compared to the rest of the pitchers the Tigers drafted, and he's still a big, strong right-hander. He throws a 90-91 mph fastball to go with a splitter. He led the Owls with an 11-3 record and a 3.14 ERA, while striking out 72 batters in 97 1/3 innings.
Round 16: Steve Young, 2B, Princeton University
He wasn't nearly as heralded as teammates B.J. Szymanski or Ross Ohlendorf, but the Tigers like the Ivy Leaguer's speed, calling him a "plus-plus runner" who can play second and short. He finished second to Szymanski with a .354 average, while swiping 15 bases in 18 attempts. He has line-drive gap power. He can also play shortstop.
Round 17: Dan Konecny, RHP, Northwestern University
The 6-foot-4 senior went 4-8 with a 7.09 ERA, giving up 100 hits in 73 2/3 innings, but the Tigers like his 88-92 mph fastball and plus slider.
Round 18: Chris Martin, RHP, Arlington (TX) HS
Martin is a physical marvel, standing 6-foot-7 and weighing just 175 pounds, but the Tigers believe he has potential. He's expected to stay in state and attend McLennan Community College, making him a draft-and-follow candidate.
