Comparing Input- and Output-Oriented Measures of Technical Efficiency to Determine Local Returns to Scale in DEA Models
AbstractThis paper shows how one can infer the nature of local returns to scale at the input- or output-oriented efficient projection of a technically inefficient input-output bundle, when the input- and output-oriented measures of efficiency differ.

How the GOP is saving the freedom to marry
Postedon Jul 15, 2010 at 10:30 am
Joshua Green writes about several Republican appointed judges who have had roles in advancing marriage equality: "This makes the Republican pedigrees of the judges moving the freedom to marry toward legality all the more striking, particularly in how it contrasts with conservative outcries about judicial activism."
Koppelman: The so-called Defense of Marriage Act's Achilles heel
Postedon Jul 14, 2010 at 02:39 pm
Andrew Koppelman discusses how the recent Massachusetts federal court finding that DOMA violates the Constitution's equal protection clause could be accepted by the U.S. Supreme Court.
States rule
Postedon Jul 14, 2010 at 07:30 am
If you believe the courts offer the best route for getting rid of bans on the freedom to marry, then you should be saying "I-told-you-so." In Boston last Thursday, a district court judge overturned part of the so-called Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), declaring unconstitutional its ban on federal recognition of marriages of same-sex couples that are legal at the state level.

Postedon Jul 13, 2010 at 12:40 pm
Gayle King is editor-at-large for "O, The Oprah Magazine" and is the best friend of Oprah Winfrey. She has previously worked as a television news anchor and talk show host. King was also instrumental in the planning and creation of the Legends Weekend. In September 2006, King began to host "The Gayle King Show" on XM Satellite Radio.
On her radio show on Friday, July 9, 2010, King expressed her support for marriage equality and the previous day's marriage ruling in Massachusetts.
Editorial: Redefining Marriage
Postedon Jul 13, 2010 at 10:40 am
The New York Times editorial Board applauds last week's marriage ruling in Massachusetts.
"For 14 years, as states, courts and many Americans have begun to change their minds on the subject, the federal government has clung to its official definition of marriage as only between a man and a woman. On Thursday, a federal judge in Massachusetts finally stood up and said there was never a rational basis for that definition."
Amid Mass. rulings on the freedom to marry, Proposition 8 case could have larger effect
Postedon Jul 13, 2010 at 08:48 am
As both sides await news of a likely appeal in the Massachusetts marriage ruling from last week that could eventually lead to the Supreme Court, they are keeping an eye on California. A federal judge in San Francisco is expected to rule any day on whether voters in that state were within their rights when they supported a 2008 ballot initiative that banned marriage equality.
That decision could have major reverberations around the country and also end up before the nation's highest court.
Lawyer argues MA rulings support CA case against Prop 8
Postedon Jul 12, 2010 at 02:00 pm

White House silent on Massachusetts freedom to marry ruling
Postedon Jul 12, 2010 at 12:09 pm
A key part of a law denying married gay couples federal benefits has been thrown out the window in Massachusetts, the first state to legalize the freedom to marry.
The ball now lies in the White House's court, which must carefully calculate the next move by an administration that has faced accusations it has not vigorously defended the law of the land.
Basis of ruling on LGBT rights stirs debate
Postedon Jul 12, 2010 at 09:16 am
A judge's decision on Thursday declaring that a state law honoring the freedom to marry in Massachusetts should take precedence over a federal definition of marriage has exposed the fractures and fault lines among groups working to bolster states' rights.
Evan Wolfson, executive director of Freedom to Marry, said the court's ruling "provides a return to the way the federal government has always dealt with marriage — leaving it to the states."

Can anyone refer me to a easy delicious recipe for a 1 gallon carboy? I love cherry if that helps, ive only down cider so detailed steps could help! Thanks guys!
You can easily scale any of the recipes here:http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f80/
Or here:http://www.gotmead.com/index.php?option=com_rapidrecipe&Itemid=616
Regards, GF.
could start with a basic traditional one gallon recipe, 3.5 pounds of honey, water, nutrients and yeast, when it's done fermenting rack into a second gallon jug with 2 pounds of tart cherries, 1 cinnamon stick, 2 split vanilla beans, after a few weeks to a month, rack again and let it clear and you will have a nice cherry vanilla with a hint of cinnamon spice.
The obvious choice is the JAO recipe. You can get all the ingredients in a local grocery store, the method is straight forward and while its doing its thing, you can research a batch with cherry (careful with cherry as it can easily come out like cough medicine).
"What the large print giveth, the small print taketh away". Tom Waits.Oh, and here's some blog stuff!
Very similar to cider, and ridiculously simple. Something like this should work:
3 lbs honey
Top off to 1g water
Add ~1/2 tsp yeast nutrient & 1/4 tsp yeast energizer
Shake to mix & aerate
Add yeast
Stir/shake occasionally to degas & add more O2 till it's halfway done fermenting (a few days)
When it's done fermenting, transfer to clear vessel off of the yeast.
Forget about it for a while
EDIT: Add a pound or two of frozen, thawed & pitted cherries if you like. Plus 1 tsp of pectin enzyme I think.

The course intends to make the students familiar with the basic topics and activities in the field of the Latin and Greek epigraphy. The epigraphical heritage of present-day Bulgaria gives us a striking example for the multicultural character of the Roman provinces and therefore presents "one of a kind" opportunity for studying the roman inscriptions and working with them in their archaeological context. The schedule seeks to enhance the field competence of the archaeology students by teaching them the main techniques for recognizing, reading, dating, preserving and interpreting the epigraphical monuments.
After completing successfully this course the students will:
The Students will gain considerable knowledge about the Roman Society, the history and archaelology of the Roman provinces. They will be able to trace the main reasons and mechanisms for the Roman and Late Roman provincional historical development.
Be able to:
The students will be able to incorporate the Latin and Greek inscriptions as a research tool in their future projects or to conduct epigraphical research by themselves. They will gain abilities to publish and interpret historically ancient roman Latin and Greek inscriptions.
Course code: 70KS60. Course name: Introduction to the Roman epigraphy. Download course passport here

TeamSTEPPS (Team Strategies and Tools to Enhance Performance and Patient Safety) is a team-training intervention which shows promise in aiding the mitigation of medical errors. This article examines the construct validity of the TeamSTEPPS Teamwork Perceptions Questionnaire (T-TPQ), a self-report survey that examines multiple dimensions of perceptions of teamwork within healthcare settings.
Using survey-based methods, 1700 multidisciplinary healthcare professionals and support staff were measured on their perceptions of teamwork. Confirmatory factor analysis was conducted to examine the relationship between the five TeamSTEPPS dimensions: Leadership, Mutual Support, Situation Monitoring, Communication, and Team Structure.
The analysis indicated that the T-TPQ measure is more reliable than previously thought (Cronbach's α=0.978). Further, our final tested model showed a good fit with the data (x2 (df) 3601.27 (546), p<0.0001, Tucker–Lewis Index (TLI)=0.942, Comparative fit index (CFI)=0.947, root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA)=0.057), indicating that the measure appears to have construct validity. Further, all dimensions correlated with one another, but were shown to be independent constructs.
The T-TPQ is a construct-valid instrument for measuring perceptions of teamwork. This has beneficial implications for patient safety and future research that studies medical teamwork.
The frequency of outpatient diagnostic errors is challenging to determine due to varying error definitions and the need to review data across multiple providers and care settings over time. We estimated the frequency of diagnostic errors in the US adult population by synthesising data from three previous studies of clinic-based populations that used conceptually similar definitions of diagnostic error.
Data sources included two previous studies that used electronic triggers, or algorithms, to detect unusual patterns of return visits after an initial primary care visit or lack of follow-up of abnormal clinical findings related to colorectal cancer, both suggestive of diagnostic errors. A third study examined consecutive cases of lung cancer. In all three studies, diagnostic errors were confirmed through chart review and defined as missed opportunities to make a timely or correct diagnosis based on available evidence. We extrapolated the frequency of diagnostic error obtained from our studies to the US adult population, using the primary care study to estimate rates of diagnostic error for acute conditions (and exacerbations of existing conditions) and the two cancer studies to conservatively estimate rates of missed diagnosis of colorectal and lung cancer (as proxies for other serious chronic conditions).
Combining estimates from the three studies yielded a rate of outpatient diagnostic errors of 5.08%, or approximately 12 million US adults every year. Based upon previous work, we estimate that about half of these errors could potentially be harmful.
Our population-based estimate suggests that diagnostic errors affect at least 1 in 20 US adults. This foundational evidence should encourage policymakers, healthcare organisations and researchers to start measuring and reducing diagnostic errors.
There is evidence to suggest that patients undergoing treatment at weekends may be subject to different care processes and outcomes compared with weekdays. This study aimed to determine whether clinical outcomes from weekend appendicectomy are different from those performed on weekdays.
Multicentre cohort study during May–June 2012 from 95 centres (89 within the UK). The primary outcome was the 30-day adverse event rate. Multilevel modelling was used to account for clustering within hospitals while adjusting for case mix to produce adjusted ORs and 95% CIs.
When compared with Monday, there were no significant differences for other days of the week considering 30-day adverse events in adjusted models. On Sunday, rates of simple appendicitis were highest, and rates of normal (OR 0.62, 95% CI 0.42 to 0.90) and complex appendicitis (OR 0.65, 95% CI 0.46 to 0.93) lowest. This was accompanied by a 43% lower likelihood in use of laparoscopy on Sunday (OR 0.47, 95% CI 0.32 to 0.69), accompanied by the lowest level of consultant presence for the week. When pooling weekends and weekdays, laparoscopy use remained less likely at the weekend (OR 0.68, 95% CI 0.55 to 0.83), with no significant difference for 30-day adverse event rate (OR 1.01, 95% CI 0.80 to 1.29).
This study found that weekend appendicectomy was not associated with increased 30-day adverse events. It cannot rule out smaller increases that may be shown by larger studies. It further illustrated that patients operated on at weekends were subject to different care processes, which may expose them to risk.
While disparities in hospital care outcomes based on ethnicity or socioeconomic status have been documented in some nations, it is unclear to what extent this phenomenon occurs in high-income countries like Korea with relatively low income inequality.
We examined in-hospital mortality rates for wealthy and poor patients in South Korea for five common medical conditions. We measured in-hospital mortality rates and examined within-hospital differences (wealthy and poor patients receive different care at the same institution) as well as between-hospital differences (wealthy and poor patients receiving care at different institutions) across socioeconomic status. We built multivariable models that adjusted for risk and further adjusted our analyses for hospital characteristics including a hospital's overall mortality ranking.
There were 127 438 patients with one of the five conditions examined nested in 66 Korean hospitals. We found moderate differences in mortality rates between wealthy and poor patients across four of the five conditions. These mortality differences were largely attributable to differences in mortality rates for wealthy patients compared with those for poor patients within the same hospital (within-hospital variation) while a relatively small portion of these disparities were attributable to mortality difference between hospitals where wealthy and poor patients seek care (between-hospital variation). For example, we estimate that improving care for poor patients in the same hospital can eliminate 86% of the disparities for acute myocardial infarction outcomes, while ensuring equal access to low mortality hospitals would reduce only 16% of the disparities in outcomes.
This study suggests that to reduce socioeconomic disparities in hospital mortality, interventions that target within-hospital effects may be more effective than interventions targeting between hospital effects.
Approximately 41 000 central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI) occur annually in US hospitals. We previously developed a simulation-based mastery learning (SBML) curriculum in central venous catheter (CVC) insertion that significantly reduced CLABSI rates. In this study, we evaluated the effect of dissemination of the SBML curriculum on trainee skills and CLABSI rates at a community hospital.
The authors performed a cohort study of residents who rotated in the intensive care unit (ICU) at Mercy Hospital and Medical Center from September 2010 to May 2012. Residents underwent an SBML CVC insertion curriculum and were required to meet or exceed a minimum passing score on a simulated internal jugular (IJ) and subclavian (SC) CVC insertion before ICU patient care. Infection control personnel measured CLABSI rates in the ICU before and after the educational intervention.
Residents scored a mean IJ pretest of 35.5% (10.29/29, SD=8.30) compared with a post-test mean of 93.0% (26.96/29, SD=1.50; p<0.001). Their mean SC pretest score was 23.0% (6.68/29; SD=9.58) and increased to 96.1% (27.88/29, SD=1.41) at post-test (p<0.001). Patients experienced 3.82 infections per 1000 catheter-days (20 infections in 5235 catheter-days) in the ICU in the 23 months before the educational intervention. During the 21 months after the intervention, there were 1.29 infections per 1000 catheter-days (six infections in 4670 catheter-days (p=0.019)). The incidence rate ratio derived from the Poisson regression was 0.26 (95% CI 0.09 to 0.74) after controlling for Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation III score indicating that there was a 74% reduction in the incidence of CLABSI in the medical ICU after the intervention.
This study demonstrates successful dissemination and implementation of a CVC SBML curriculum and shows that rigorous medical education is a powerful quality improvement tool.
There is a growing body of evidence for associations between the work environment and patient outcomes. A good work environment may maximise healthcare workers' efforts to avoid failures and to facilitate quality care that is focused on patient safety. Several studies use nurse-reported quality measures, but it is uncertain whether these outcomes are correlated with clinical outcomes. The aim of this study was to determine the correlations between hospital-aggregated, nurse-assessed quality and safety, and estimated probabilities for 30-day survival in and out of hospital.
In a multicentre study involving almost all Norwegian hospitals with more than 85 beds (sample size=30, information about nurses' perceptions of organisational characteristics were collected. Subscales from this survey were used to describe properties of the organisations: quality system, patient safety management, nurse–physician relationship, staffing adequacy, quality of nursing and patient safety. The average scores for these organisational characteristics were aggregated to hospital level, and merged with estimated probabilities for 30-day survival in and out of hospital (survival probabilities) from a national database. In this observational, ecological study, the relationships between the organisational characteristics (independent variables) and clinical outcomes (survival probabilities) were examined.
Survival probabilities were correlated with nurse-assessed quality of nursing. Furthermore, the subjective perception of staffing adequacy was correlated with overall survival.
This study showed that perceived staffing adequacy and nurses' assessments of quality of nursing were correlated with survival probabilities. It is suggested that the way nurses characterise the microsystems they belong to, also reflects the general performance of hospitals.
Catastrophic errors in healthcare are rare, yet the consequences are so serious that where possible, special procedures are put in place to prevent them. As systems become safer, it becomes progressively more difficult to detect the remaining vulnerabilities. Using inadvertent intrathecal administration of vinca alkaloids as an example, we investigated whether analysis of incident report data describing low-harm events could bridge this gap.
We studied nine million patient safety incidents reported from England and Wales between November 2003 and May 2013. We searched for reports relating to administration of vinca alkaloids in patients also receiving intrathecal medication, and classified the failures identified against steps in the relevant national protocol.
Of 38 reports that met our inclusion criteria, none resulted in actual harm. The stage of the medication process most commonly involved was 'supply, transport and storage' (15 cases). Seven cases related to dispensing, six to documentation, and four each to prescribing and administration. Defences most commonly breached related to separation of intravenous vinca alkaloids and intrathecal medication in timing (n=16) and location (n=8); potential for confusion due to inadequate separation of these drugs therefore remains. Problems involved in six cases did not align with the procedural defences in place, some of which represented major hazards.
We identified areas of concern even within the context of a highly controlled standardised national process. If incident reporting systems include and encourage reports of no-harm incidents in addition to actual patient harm, they can facilitate monitoring the resilience of healthcare processes. Patient safety incidents that produce the most serious harm are often rare, and it is difficult to know whether patients are adequately protected. Our approach provides a potential solution.
Adverse drug events (ADEs) are a major cause of morbidity in hospitalised and ambulatory patients. Computerised provider order entry (CPOE) combined with clinical decision support systems (CDSS) are being widely implemented with the goal of preventing ADEs, but the effectiveness of these systems remains unclear.
We searched the specialised database Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) Patient Safety Net to identify reviews of the effect of CPOE combined with CDSS on ADE rates in inpatient and outpatient settings. We included systematic and narrative reviews published since 2008 and controlled clinical trials published since 2012.
We included five systematic reviews, one narrative review and two controlled trials. The existing literature consists mostly of studies of homegrown systems conducted in the inpatient setting. CPOE+CDSS was consistently reported to reduce prescribing errors, but does not appear to prevent clinical ADEs in either the inpatient or outpatient setting. Implementation of CPOE+CDSS profoundly changes staff workflow, and often leads to unintended consequences and new safety issues (such as alert fatigue) which limit the system's safety effects.
CPOE+CDSS does not appear to reliably prevent clinical ADEs. Despite more widespread implementation over the past decade, it remains a work in progress.
The publication of clinical outcomes for consultant surgeons in 10 specialties within the NHS has, along with national clinical audits, highlighted the importance of measuring and reporting outcomes with the aim of monitoring quality of care. Such information is vital to be able to identify good and poor practice and to inform patient choice. The need to adequately adjust outcomes for differences in case-mix has long been recognised as being necessary to provide 'like-for-like' comparisons between providers. However, directly comparing values of the standardised mortality ratio (SMR) between different healthcare providers can be misleading even when the risk-adjustment perfectly quantifies the risk of a poor outcome in the reference population. An example is shown from paediatric intensive care.
Using observed case-mix differences for 33 paediatric intensive care units (PICUs) in the UK and Ireland for 2009–2011, SMRs were calculated under four different scenarios where, in each scenario, all of the PICUs were performing identically for each patient type. Each scenario represented a clinically plausible difference in outcome from the reference population.
Despite the fact that the outcome for any patient was the same no matter which PICU they were to be admitted to, differences between the units were seen when compared using the SMR: scenario 1, 1.07–1.21; scenario 2, 1.00–1.14; scenario 3, 1.04–1.13; scenario 4, 1.00–1.09.
Even if two healthcare providers are performing equally for each type of patient, if their patient populations differ in case-mix their SMRs will not necessarily take the same value. Clinical teams and commissioners must always keep in mind this weakness of the SMR when making decisions.

Bangladesh have agreed to tour Pakistan next month in the first visit by any country since armed militants attacked the Sri Lanka team bus in Lahore in 2009, Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Zaka Ashraf said on Friday. "The Bangladesh board has conveyed to us their team's visit is confirmed and they have also got approval from their board members. They have also sent us the time frame for the tour," Ashraf told the Geo News Channel. Eight Pakistanis were killed and six Sri Lanka players wounded when a dozen gunmen fired on their coach as they were being driven to the Gaddafi stadium. It was the first major attack directed at athletes since the 1972 Munich Olympics when the pro-Palestinian Black September group killed 11 members of the Israeli team. The Bangladesh Cricket Board agreed to send a team to Pakistan in April this year to play a Twenty20 and one-day international in Lahore. However, the Dhaka High Court issued a restraining order stopping the Bangladesh players from playing in Pakistan due to security concerns. "I am pretty confident now this tour will take place and signal the return of international cricket to Pakistan," Ashraf said. "We will soon also be co-ordinating security arrangements for the tour with the provincial governments."

The proposed $35 billion merger between Publicis and Omnicom fell through last week, but industry participants believe it is still business as usual.
Puns and snotty references to "too big to fail" come all too easily to mind, as two ginormous advertising holding companies failed to merge into one totipotent advertising holding company last week. But some never thought it would happen, and few competitors seemed to be alarmed. Following Friday's announcement that the proposed $35 billion merger between Publicis and Omnicom had been called off, most in the industry expect business as usual.
Tussles about C-level executives and taxes aside, Christian Hughes, president and principal of Cutwater, thinks there were two issues that doomed this merger to failure: size and culture.
Hughes says, "I think the reason this failed ultimately came down to a culture clash of two big and successful and independent companies, two big and successful leaders, and a French company versus an American company...If one of the things that binds a company together is its culture, then the bigger you get, the harder it is to maintain that culture."
The big winners of all of this are likely to be the independent agencies, according to Keith Hunt, managing partner at Results International, a mergers and acquisitions advisory firm focused on marketing communications and advertising technology. They were the ones most at risk from the massive firepower created via this mega-merger, Hunt says, and will be feeling far safer now that it has gone away. "The perfect storm of disillusioned staff and disillusioned clients potentially falling out of Publicis and Omnicom makes this a good time for independents."
WPP, too, will retain the bragging rights to the title of world's largest advertising company and its chief executive (CEO) Martin Sorrell may go on the prowl, according to Hunt. "After all, Sorrell didn't change his strategy when this mega-merger was announced last summer so he is unlikely to change anything now, other than possibly going after staff and clients from both networks," Hunt comments.
But clients and staff alike may be feeling queasy at the sudden stop. Having been told to expect a brave new world nine months ago, some clients are likely to be feeling pretty unsettled on the heels of this news. "While most of the relationships will be sound, if there are any that are a little wobbly then this news might be the straw that breaks the camel's back," Hunt comments. The same goes for staff at both agencies, he adds. The heads of the network agencies will have a big job to settle down nervous staff.
The failure to merge is not expected to have any immediate impact on the digital marketing business. Both companies maintain their current balance in the holding company universe, and the industry should expect each to continue to follow their respective strategies.
Martin Cass, CEO of Assembly, says the industry's future will rely on the ability to deliver innovation. Bringing together two agency models from decades ago does not put innovation at the heart of the business, he notes. "It puts people at the heart of the business. This deal was about combining legacy of individuals and not the future."
As far as Adam Graves, executive vice president at ad agency Threshold Interactive is concerned the message is a blunter one: "Like any great ad campaign, there has to be a big idea. And in a merger of this size that big idea has to align with the needs of the industry overall, or at least the companies involved. The only big idea here seemed to be making a couple of rich executives even richer."
The entire Publicis-Omnicom merger story does seem to leave a lot of questions unanswered but one thing that's for sure is that nobody seems to be mourning the failure of this deal. "I don't think anybody really understood it," Cutwater's Hughes concludes.

RECORD numbers turned out for the annual Pink Lady Day fundraiser at Horsham Golf Club on Monday.
Event organiser Julie Obst said 113 women – 13 more than last year – participated in the event, which raises money for breast cancer research.
"It was just fantastic, it exceeded expectations," she said.
"Last year we raised about $1500 for breast cancer research, and after a rough tally I think we've raised about $1800 this year."
Mrs Obst said there were some surprise winners in their four-person ambrose competition.
"Probably the highlight of the day was the teams that won the front and back nine were unexpected results," she said.
Trudy Parker, Bernie Delahunty, Helen Fisher and Esma Wood won the front nine, while Phyl Loeliger, Rhonda Gebert, Pat Williams, Jackie Fechner and June Gross combined to win the back nine.
Mrs Obst said it was a brilliant day.
"We were in the new clubhouse and had two rooms full of women dressed in pink," she said.
"The atmosphere was wonderful.
"Many people volunteered their time and effort, which helped make the day a success."
She thanked the players, volunteers, various sponsors and Horsham Golf Club for helping contribute towards the successful event.

In December 1941, Japanese armed forces launched a massive offensive, attacking targets as far East as Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, and as far West as Burma. This lesson plan will focus on the overall strategies pursued by the Japanese and the Allies in the initial months of World War II in Asia and the Pacific.
For American diplomacy, the war against Japan was not just about the destruction of Japanese supremacy in the Pacific, China, and Southeast Asia. The ultimate issue was just what would replace Japan's imperial design of a "Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere." This lesson plan focuses on two major postwar problems—the future of China and (using French Indochina as a test case) the future of Western imperialism in Southeast Asia.
After a close reading and comparison of Edward Hopper's painting House by the Railroad and Edward Hirsch's poem about the painting, students explore the types of emotion generated by each work in the viewer or reader and examine how the painter and poet each achieved these responses.
Although antiwar organizations existed even before World War I, it was during the interwar period that pacifism became the fastest-growing movement in America. Numerous American politicians, businessmen, journalists, and activists made proposals for multilateral agreements on arms control and collective security. Through an examination of memoirs, photographs, and other primary source documents, students examine the rise of antiwar sentiment in the United States, as well as some of the concrete measures taken during the 1920s to prevent the outbreak of future wars.
Faced with crippling economic sanctions imposed by the United States, the Japanese government decided in September 1941 to prepare for war to seize the raw materials that they were now unable to obtain from America. Students in this lesson will put themselves in the shoes of U.S. and Japanese diplomats in the final months of 1941.
The U.S. victory over the Japanese Navy at Midway succeeded in stopping the Axis advance in the Pacific, and by early 1943 the Marines had driven the Japanese from Guadalcanal. This lesson will guide students through the military campaigns of the Pacific theater, tracing the path of the Allied offensives.
The outbreak of war in Europe in September 1939 posed a serious challenge to U.S. neutrality. On the one hand, Americans' sympathies lay overwhelmingly with Great Britain and its allies; on the other hand, public sentiment overwhelmingly favored staying out of the war. Through a study of contemporary documents, students learn about the difficult choices faced by the Roosevelt administration during the first fifteen months of World War II, culminating in the decision to provide direct military aid to Great Britain.
In this lesson which focuses on two of FDR's Fireside Chats, students gain a sense of the dramatic effect of FDR's voice on his audience, see the scope of what he was proposing in these initial speeches, and make an overall analysis of why the Fireside Chats were so successful.
The Civilian Conservation Corps, a New Deal recovery and relief program provided more than a quarter of a million young black men with jobs during the Depression. By examining primary source documents students analyze the impact of this program on race relations in America and assess the role played by the New Deal in changing them.
This lesson plan highlights the importance of First Amendment rights by examining Norman Rockwell's painting of The Four Freedoms. Students discover the First Amendment in action as they explore their own community and country through newspapers, art, and role playing.

Installing Custom ROM
I would really appreciate if someone could help me out.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant (Bell) and, for the hell of it (and TouchWiz), I want to install an Ice Cream Sandwich custom ROM. Since Samsung and carriers have decided not to provide an ICS update, it appears I have to take manners into my own hands.
That's where it gets tricky. Neither myself, nor my friends who have rooted their Droids, can get my phone rooted, let alone flash and install a custom ROM.
Is there anyone out their kind enough to provide a walkthough or have actually installed a ROM on the Galaxy S Vibrant?
I would greatly appreciate the help.

This Beko comes with a 6kg drum that lets you dry around 18 T-shirts in one go. Thanks to its Large Porthole loading couldn't be easier. With Sensor Drying options that turn off the cycle once everything is dry, you won't have to keep checking on how your clothes are doing.
Thanks to the fantastic Easy Iron feature, which keeps the load moving after the cycle is done, you won't have to spend ages ironing your fabrics. Your clothes won't sit in one place, so there are fewer creases to deal with. Similarly the Reverse Tumble Action moves your clothes in both directions during the cycle to prevent any tangling or deep wrinkles.
£90.02 (per year)
7kg (35 T-shirts)
Thanks to the Reverse Drum Action on this Indesit vented tumble dryer your clothes come out much less creased – meaning your ironing takes a lot less time and effort. You'll get around 35 T-shirts in the 7kg drum, making it an ideal size for a 3 or 4 person family.
There are 12 programmes in total, giving you different heat options for your various fabrics. This means that your delicate items, like woollens and your favourite jumper, won't stretch out of shape. There's even a refresh option – ideal for things like jackets and blazers. It uses cool air to blow away stale smells, so you clothes are fresh and ready to wear without having to run them through a full wash.
£87.00 (per year)
8kg (24 T-shirts)
You can dry up to 24 T-shirts in one go with this model, thanks to an impressive 8kg drum. It also has clever sensors that detect the level of moisture in your clothing and stops drying when they're ready - saving you a little on your energy bills at the same time.
It comes with a timer that lets you know how long is left, so you don't have to keep going back and forth to check. And to save you a load of time on a Sunday night there's even an anti-crease programme - which means less time ironing. It also has a refresh cycle that'll quickly spruce up any clothes without having to wash them - just the ticket if you need a few work shirts to see you through the week.
The large porthole door makes loading and unloading quick and easy. And you get a 9 hour delay timer with this model. So you can run it at night when electricity is cheaper, or simply at a time that better suits you.
£74.42 (per year)
7kg (21 T-shirts)
This model's a great buy, it's really well built and durable – as you'd expect from Bosch. You're getting a 7kg load (which is loads more room than you'd get from a washer -dryer) so it's perfect for a big family.
You've got loads of different settings to suit whatever it is you're drying – that's anything from work shirts to towels! You're even getting functions like for your woollens and delicates to save you a trip to the dry cleaners.
If you fancy saving yourself even more time, the Reduced Iron feature will come in handy too. You can even save money with this model, as you can use the Delay Timer to set it to come on when rates are cheaper at night.
What's really great about this model is the AntiVibration design. It means your dryer will be really stable and its noise level will be reduced – great for open plan living.
£89.55 (per year)
8kg (28 T-shirts)
This Hoover model gives you a total of 10 programmes to choose from that are all incredibly handy – including sensor drying. It measures the moisture level in the drum to know when clothes are dry so you don't have to keep checking. You can choose from extra dry, iron or wardrobe depending on whether you want to wear them straight away, give them a quick iron or whack them back in the cupboard.
The VHV781NC looks after your clothes when they're drying so you have less to do when it comes to ironing. It's fantastic if you don't have the time to make your way through a pile of clothes or simply hate doing the ironing at all. It works its magic by rotating clothes in lots of different directions, rather than just round and round. That helps to dry them quicker and also remove any creases they might have picked up during washing.
There's also timed drying if you want to make sure exactly how long your clothes will be in for. Whatever option you choose, the LED display will keep you up-to-date with progress thanks to the time to end feature. Plus, if you want to make the most of overnight electricity and save yourself a bit of money in the process, there's also a 24 hour delay function to play with.

Sanmi Odelusi enjoying life at Milton Keynes Dons
5:48pm Wednesday 5th March 2014 in Sport By Marc Iles
SANMI Odelusi has been tipped to stay at MK Dons until the end of the season.
Despite making only two substitute appearances for the League One side since his loan move a fortnight ago, the 20-year-old has already won over some of his new club's fans.
It is currently planned that he will remain at stadium:mk for another couple of weeks but Dons boss Karl Robinson has been urged to secure the versatile striker's services for longer.
Odelusi made a handful of appearances at the start of this season for Wanderers, scoring twice against Shrewsbury in the Capital One Cup, but had dropped down the pecking order over the last few months.
And the youngster says he is enjoying his first taste of football outside the Reebok, despite some indifferent results on the pitch.
"Everyone's welcomed me and I'm enjoying how the gaffer works," he said.
"There isn't much difference between the Championship level and League One.
"I would say it's a bit more physical in League One whereas the Championship is a bit more technical."
"Dons are a fantastic club and I want to work hard in training and do well for the team."

B is for Boy, but you don't have to be a boy to wear these, they look quite sharp on men, ladies, and girls alike. These lightweight socks look fantastic peeking out from trouser legs or topping some rugged boots. Made in the USA.
Fiber Content: 68% recycled cotton, 17% acrylic, 10% nylon, 5% spandex.
Machine wash in cool to warm water, tumble dry low or hang to dry.
Sizing Tips: Midcalf length, supposedly Men's shoe sizes 10-13, but we've found that they'll fit down to a Women's size 10 as well. Cuffs stretch to about 16 inches.
UPDATE: Most of these are now a bit smaller in the foot, and will fit US men's shoe size 7-10 best, except Black/Lime and Charcoal/Black, which still fits US men's shoe size 10-13. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause, and we are working to fix it ASAP.
Label: Dream Stockings
I have never had a better experience with online shopping than I have with your company. I placed my second order about 45 minutes ago, and it's already been shipped. You guys are amazing. Thank you for existing.

Bought a Single Family home in 2012 for approximately $225K in Whitehouse, Jacksonville, FL.
I was truly impressed with the job Gerry did for us. We closed on a multi-bank short sale in less than 6 months which is unheard of. When we had questions, he had answers. He was available whenever we needed inspectors/contractors to gain access to the house. He ensured all paperwork was completed in a timely manner. He kept both us, the sellers and the bank's attorneys on our toes to close the deal in a timely manner. I will use Gerry when the time comes to sell my other house. I highly recommend him!

Bought a Single Family home in 2012 for approximately $200K in Orange Park, FL.
Awesome real estate agent. He showed us homes that he thought we would like, and tried to steer us away from homes that were less than ideal for what we were looking for. In the end he helped us find a home that had a majority of our must haves, big back yard, two story home, on a cul-de-sac, with plenty of room for a family of five

Bought a Single Family home in 2012 in Orange Park, FL.
Gerard, went above and beyond to help us finda house, even when we were only in the market to rent not buy. Gerard, met us weekend after weekend to take us around and show us rental after rental, in his own car and on days tha he didn't even have to work. We were so impressed bc we had called other relators and they did not want to meet us to show any houses they would give us codes to get into the houses and show our selves around the houses. Gerard, is the only reason why we ended up buying a house. He knows so much about the houses that we looked at and the house we bought. He is awesome.

Sold a Single Family home in 2012 for approximately $300K in Green Cove Springs, FL.
My family and had to relocate due to a military transfer. My wife and I were not very comfortable leaving behind the biggest investment we had ever made and it was difficult having to sell our property. Jerry has eased our minds and earned our trust. We moved to Hawaii and left our home in his hands. His knowledge of real estate and guidance throughout the entire process has made it easy and worry free. Our house was listed in less than 24 hours and within days we had offers on our home. We are currently in the final stages of selling our property and Jerry has insured the correspondence moved swiflty so neither us or our buyers were waiting on paperwork. He has proved that he is extremely resourceful and highly reliable. I have and will continue to reccomend Jerry to anyone interested in moving to northeast Florida!

Gerry is great to work with. He is very knowledgeable, professional, and proactive. He not only showed me great homes but also had many ideas on becoming a landlord and financing properties. He also offered assistance in finding contrators to renovate properties. Very responsive and and in tune with what I was looking for in a house.

Thats practically unheard of, but Carsons Mark Woody was presented that problem last year.
How did it work out?
How about a 10-win season?
That makes coming to work and doing the job of two people a little easier. But its still tough.
We adjusted, Woody laughed. But it wasnt easy. Or fun.
This year, he has a whopping seven assistants. Its still the smallest group in Rowan County, but hell take it. Why? Because he trusts and loves each of them.
Everyone had to pick it up last year, Woody said. We were a tight-knit group. We still are.
Assistant Ben Hampton, who coaches quarterbacks and backs, saw first-hand when he was a star at West Rowan what loyalty on a coaching staff can do. He always had the same coaches because no one wanted to leave Scott Young.
In order to build a program like Coach Young, you have to be loyal, Hampton said. You build relationships with guys you come to work with everyday. I think theres something to be said for that. It pushed West to three consecutive state titles.
Guys like Hampton, Travis Billings, Barry Mitchem and Andre Neely have been with Woody for years. Jason Stanley has been there for several. Cameron Frick and Andre McCain join the Cougars this year.
Frick and McCain have no idea how tough it was last season with just five coaches.
More than anything, it tests your patience, Hampton said. It teaches you the value of having numbers, not just on the field but with coaches as well.
Woody became the offensive line coach.
The defense?
I turned it over to Travis, Woody said. I trust him. Hes a tremendous coach.
Its nice having Mitchem, too. Hes a former head coach at West Davidson. And a very successful one.
I cant say enough about the guys who are with me, Woody said. Im at a special place. We made our AYPs, we have a tremendous student body and a faculty that is tremendously supportive.
Woody knows that several of his assistants, like Billings and Hampton, could follow him and Mitchem in a leading role someday. For now, Hampton is content learning from the head guy at Carson.
I want to be under coaches like Woody, Hampton said, again bringing up his alma mater. (Joe) Nixon enjoys being under Coach Young just to have that mentor. If youre not sure about something, you can say, Hey coach, what do you think about this?
What made last year easier was having seniors like quarterback Zack Gragg, who, by the way, was out on the field earlier this month working with the quarterbacks before heading off to Methodist.
He was a leader on the field, Hampton said. Hed see stuff and come tell us.
Hampton did say it was a little different this season having a larger staff.
With eight coaches,you have a couple standing around looking for something to do, he smiled. Were so used to having five guys going here and going there, you get a little pause now and then.
Another part of being a successful assistant is that you dont want the glory.
You dont do it for the credit, Hampton pointed out. You do it for the success of the team.
Under Woody, there has been plenty of that at Carson, regardless of the number of assistants.

HAMPTON BAYS, N.Y. (AP) - Authorities on Long Island say a preliminary investigation doesn't point to criminality after a man was found dead inside a burned pickup truck on a beach.
Southampton Town Police Department Sgt. Michael Burns says a 911 call of a vehicle on fire was made at 12:04 p.m. Saturday. He says after the fire was put out, a man was discovered dead in the driver's side of the pickup.
Burns says arson squad and homicide detectives have been investigating but don't believe the man's death was a result of a criminal act.
The man's identity and age weren't immediately released.
Hampton Bays is in Suffolk County and is about 85 miles east of New York City.

Lupe has dreadlocks like a Jamaican might, but he doesn't drink Red Stripe or any alcohol for that matter. He ain't 'bout that life.
