Rumor: Uncharted 3 Multiplayer Details Get Out
This week Sony held a "E3 Sneak Peek" event in California, at the event Naughty Dog shared some new details on their upcoming title, Uncharted 3, and the game's multiplayer aspect.
According to this post, the game's multiplayer will allow you to finally sprint while playing, which will undoubtedly be a welcomed addition.
Also unveiled by the developer was a new medal system, you can use the medals you earn to purchase one use items. Apparently one of these "one use" items was a grenade that when thrown splits into three different explosives.
Aside from the new medal system, Naughty Dog also announced "booster" which is a perks system much like that in Call of Duty.
All this is speculation due to an embargo being held on the information until Monday, in which Naughty Dog is supposed to reveal more info.
Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception is out on November 1 only for the PlayStation 3.

White Papers
Green Engineering — Improving the Environment and the Bottom Line
Engineers and scientists worldwide are leading the charge to address one of the largest challenges society faces, and they have the unique opportunity to make a bigger impact on the environment than any government policy. Green engineering provides the tools, techniques and technologies to foster this innovation.
|National Instruments
MDT AutoSave
AutoSave increases productivity and reduces downtime and safety risks for Nestle Purina.
As automation devices have grown more complex and have incorporated more plant data in their operation, there is an increased need for programming changes to continue smooth operation or improve performance. In environments requiring frequent changes, it is not uncommon for code to be lost or changes overwritten resulting in increased downtime and decreased productivity.

From the Raw Input to Finished Chemicals: How to Boost Performance with VariableFrequency Drives
Many engineers believe the only benefit to using Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) in chemical industry applications is the potential energy savings. While this single benefit can often quickly pay for the drive and installation, there are many more benefits available in a host of applications found throughout the chemical supply chain.
Wireless Devices Deliver Great Benefits for Temperature Monitoring
Temperature is certainly among the most commonly measured parameters in industry, science, and academia. Recently, the growth of wireless instrumentation technology, along with some clever innovations, has provided new ways to apply temperature measurement sensors combined with personal computers to collect, tabulate, and analyze the data obtained. For complex, multi-sensor applications, wireless devices provide a means to eliminate the nuisance of running multiple leads over long distances through harnesses or conduit to a control room, instrument panel, or equipment rack, while keeping track of which leads are which. For simpler one or two sensor applications, it means installing the wireless sensor, setting up the receiver, and being done. There are now so many wireless transmitting and receiving devices available for temperature measurement that nearly any application can benefit from their use. In any case, it is certainly worth a closer look. As a bonus, most of the devices discussed below also work with humidity and barometric pressure sensors.
OPC UA: An End-Users Perspective
OPC UA (Unified Architecture) represents the OPC Foundations most recent set of specifications for Process Control and Automation system interconnectivity. This paper explains OPC UA from the perspective of the organization that will benefit from the connectivity, in other words: the End User.
The challenge for companies implementing OPC UA is to ensure their data is secure from unauthorized access.
This whitepaper discusses the following:
|OPC Training Institute
Foundation Fieldbus Safety Instrumented Functions Forge the Future of Process Safety
The white paper reviews the history and development path of Foundation SIF technology, and provides insights into topics such as: SIF product registration, conformance to international standards, diagnostics functions and benefits, and future challenges. It also outlines key advantages of Foundation SIF at the safety system layer.
|Fieldbus Foundation
DC Power Supply Reliability
One of the most widely used tools for comparing the reliability of industrial DC power supplies is MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures). Demonstrating the MTBF through actual field or experimental test data makes the calculated MTBF more plausible.
|EGS Electrical Group
Next Generation of Embedded Computing Platforms
What does the current iteration of Moores Law hold for embedded computing? Not only have speed and computational power gone up exponentially, and cost dropped the same way, other improvements have increased, too. This white paper discusses the history and future of embedded computing platforms.
Making Industrial Wireless Work: Introducing Apprion and The ION System
Whether you process chemicals, refine petroleum, generate power, produce paper or metals, you must continuously refine and optimize operations to deliver quality products at competitive prices. Wireless technologies can be used to monitor and automate many industrial processes for competitive advantage.
Successful Alarm Management in Seven Steps: An ADGAS Alarm Management Improvement Project
In 2004 ADGAS commissioned PAS to assist with a comprehensive DCS alarm management improvement project. The project included developing a sitewide alarm philosophy standard, benchmarking system performance, mitigating problem alarms, redesigning the alarm system via the documentation and rationalization process and implementing a real-time alarm management strategy.
This paper describes the business case for improving the DCS alarm system, the strategy employed by the PAS and ADGAS team to improve the alarm system and the improvement realized by implementing these solutions.
From the Oil Patch through the Refinery: How to Boost Performance with VariableFrequency Drives
Energy savings is not the only benefit engineers working in oil and gas applications enjoy from using Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs). While this single benefit often pays for the drive and the installation within months, there are many compelling benefits from VFD installations across a host of oil and gas applications where motors power equipment.
Information on pH measurement
The pH value is the most frequently used process variable in analysis. The pH value is of outstanding importance in water and environmental analysis and in almost all sectors of industry. Whether the cheese in a dairy is of the right quality, the water in a drinking water supply causes corrosion damage, or the precipitation in a treatment plant for waste water from an electroplating process occurs at the optimal point, all depend on such parameters as the pH value.
|Dr. Jürgen Schleicher, JUMO
Information on Conductivity Measurement
Conductivity measurement is an easily performed measurement technique for determining and monitoring the total salt concentration in water. It is encountered in many areas of industrial and environmental analysis. Whether it concerns cleaning the filling lines in a dairy, or protection of the cooling water system in a power station, the correct procedures always depend on the conductivity value.
|Reinhard Manns, Dr. Jürgen Schleicher, JUMO
Information on High-Purity Water
As a manufacturer of measuring systems (transmitter/controllers and sensors) for resistance/conductivity and pH measurement, we are confronted almost every day with the uncertainty prevailing among customers, end users and project planners when it comes to the proper measurement techniques and equipment for high-purity water.
This booklet provides assistance and information in this field. It is intended to give you a generally understandable background and explanation of the fundamental terminology used in high-purity water measurement, and thus contribute to demystifying the subject. Furthermore, it also presents the procedure that is generally valid for calibrating and testing a high-purity water measuring system, and is currently still firmly based on the American regulations (USP/ASTM).
|Reinhard Manns, Dr. Jürgen Schleicher, JUMO
Information on Redox Voltage Measurement
Together with the pH value, the redox voltage is one of the most frequent process variables in industrial and municipal effluent plants, as well as in installations for monitoring drinking water and bathing (swimming pool) water.
|Matthias Kremer, Ulrich Braun, Dr. Jürgen Schleich...
Information on the Amperometric Measurement of free Chlorine, Chlorine Dioxide and Ozone in Water
For reasons of hygiene, drinking water, or any other water that people come into direct or indirect contact with, often has to be treated with compounds that destroy any micro-organisms contained in it. Chlorine, chlorine compounds or ozone are very often used as disinfectants. In this sensitive area, a high level of safety for the consumer is an absolute requirement, and for this reason, systems are used for fully automatic monitoring, control and recording of the disinfectant concentration.
Amperometric sensors provide the best means of monitoring the disinfectant concentration. This technical publication will present the electrochemical fundamentals and the application technology of such sensors in an easily understood form, for the interested reader.
|Dr. Jürgen Schleicher, JUMO
Information on the Measurement of Hydrogen Peroxid and Peracetic Acid
The methods of determination of hydrogen peroxide and PAA are not continuous measurements methods, but methods whereby the concentration is measured for samples taken at certain times.
These analytical methods are laboratory procedures requiring a considerable outlay in personnel and time.
In order to regulate the concentration of a disinfectant, it is advantageous if a electrical signal is available that is continuous and proportional to the concentration of disinfectant. This signal can then be used as the input signal for controlling a disinfectant metering system, i.e. the concentration can be completely automatically regulated.
A membrane-covered amperometric measuring cell can be used for monitoring the peracetic acid concentration and the concentration of hydrogen peroxide.
|Dr. Jürgen Schleicher, JUMO
Information on Measuring Ammonia in Water
Measurement of the concentration of ammonia in aqueous solutions is a requirement in many application areas, such as for coolant monitoring and laboratory measurement. A fast and simple way of measuring ammonia can be achieved by using a membranecovered, gas-sensitive sensor that operates on a potentiometric principle.
But for successful measurement, several factors must be observed when handling and using of ammonia sensors. This brochure is intended to provide practical help for the users in these matters. A special emphasis is placed on the two application situations mentioned above.
Furthermore, the construction and mode of operation of the sensor is also briefly described.

7 Reasons Why I Would Never Cheat On My Wife
Thinking about my wife, my mother, my grandmother, and all the mothers who play a role in the blessings of my life, one of the highest forms of honour I can give them is to remain faithful in my marriage. In today's society, this is not easy, but who said life is supposed to be easy?
This is an actual conversation that took place between me and a staffer (supplied by the venue) at one of my events:
Guy: C'mon son, I know you're married, but don't tell me you ain't smashin' none of these hotties that be comin' to your events?
Me: Nope.
Guy: C'mon son?
Me: Nope.
Guy: You crazy, Paul. You crazy in the head... even if I was married I would be runnin' all through them hoes.
Me: That's because you haven't grown up yet.
I've had enough with all the talk about why men and women cheat. Every time a celebrity gets caught cheating on their spouse the media rolls out all the "experts" to tell us the drivers behind why we men cheat. Most of the conversation is tongue-in-cheek with an undertone, especially for men, that implies that "everyone does it". Well, BREAKING NEWS UPDATE: EVERYONE DOES NOT CHEAT! As a matter of fact, based on all the research I can get my hands on, the overwhelming majority of data states that "most" of us (men and women in committed relationships) DO NOT cheat.
Now that we have that out of the way, can we also please put an end to the countless excuses and reasons for those who do cheat? I mean, are Tiger Woods and Arnold Schwarzenegger really "psychological sex addicts", or are they simply irresponsible and immature guys? I have a very simple theory when it comes to cheating: Those who do haven't grown up yet, point-blank, period. Ladies who cheat are not real women and fellas who cheat are not real men. Cheating is a distinguishing line between the men and boys and the women and girls - one group understands, accepts, and takes responsibility, the other doesn't. If I were able to spend some more time with the guy I was in the conversation with at my event, I would have gone into more detail to spell out to him the responsibility that real men and women undertake when in a committed relationship. I would have given him the reasons I don't cheat on my wife.
1) Wedding Vows Mean Something to Me
My mother truly etched this in my mind. I remember when I was a little boy, listening to her and my father argue, and asking if they would divorce. She would look back with a smile and say, "Our wedding vows were a promise made before the Lord. I don't plan to break any promises I make before the Lord." Now granted, my parents had verbal spats, not WWF sessions, so I can see instances where divorce is a recourse, but the point my mother's story drives at is about hearing and accepting those very powerful words in your wedding vows: "Do you promise to love, comfort, honour and keep them for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, and forsaking all others, be faithful only to them so long as you both shall live?"
2) My Wife Deserves Better
I can speak for most men who fall deeply in love and tell you that when it happens, your desire to protect surges. The question of "How can I protect and shield my beloved from pain?" becomes a key fibre in your existence. I'm so methodical about this, when my wife and I watch TV, I deliberately turn the channel when those ASPCA commercials come on, otherwise, I know she's going to start crying. I fully embrace my role as protector, so how could I deliberately wound her? She deserves better.
3) Letting My Son Down Is Not An Option
When I found out my wife was having a boy, I was incredibly excited. Not just because of the traditional 'proud father wanting a son' thought, but I was excited about the opportunity to raise a man. This takes enormous responsibility, and ultimately, I know my son will be what he sees, and when he sees his father, I want him to see honour and integrity.
4) Letting My Mentees Down Is Not An Option, Either
I mentor several young people, mostly in high school and college. The reason letting my mentees down is not an option is identical to why I can't let my son down: They will be what they see.
5) I Refuse to Disrespect My Parents & Grandparents
I have two living grandparents, both over 89. They, as well as my parents, sacrificed too much for me to dishonour their legacy or our family name. Family means everything to me, and I wear my last name, in particular, very proudly.
6) I'm 100% Satisfied with My Sex Life
I don't want to cross the TMI line here, but let me just say, daddy is very happy!
7) The Haters Would Win
As more and more folks follow my work (which I continue to be humbled by), I've noticed the pool of haters forming - one even sent me a message saying that they look forward to the day when I get caught up in a "Tiger Woods-like-incident." Well, I have news for all my haters: You're going to be waiting, and waiting, and waiting, because this guy doesn't cheat!

|Rabbi Shlomo Riskin
Ohr Torah Stone
Colleges & Graduate Programs
Weekly Torah Portion
Parshat Emor
We know Abraham as the first Jew, but we don't usually think of him as the first priest, ancestor to Aaron, and yet if we examine some of the basic characteristics of the priesthood, as demonstrated in this week's portion of Emor, as well as in other sections of the Torah, we find that what makes Abraham distinctive, why he is unique in the history of humanity, are the very same qualities which are essential to the priesthood.
The theme of the priesthood, explored in our portion of Emor, is further amplified in the Haftorah, where we read, "And they (the priests) shall teach My people the difference between the holy and the common, and cause them to discern between the ritually impure and the ritually pure. And in a controversy they shall stand to judge...and they shall hallow my Sabbaths." [Ezekiel 44:23-24]
The priests were obviously the religious leaders of the Israelites. However, there are a number of problematic issues regarding their office, status and function. First of all, one of the great mysteries in the Torah concerns the laws of the Red Heifer, whereby the Torah commands the priest to conduct a complex ritual which transforms a person, defiled by contact with the dead, back to a state of purity [Numbers 19].
At the same time, the dutiful priest discovers that while facilitating the impure person's return to purity, he himself has become impure. Is it not strange that the very individual who purifies the impure must himself become impure in the process. Why?
A further difficulty concerning the priesthood emerges from the Torah's commandment not to give the Levite tribe, which includes all priests, an ancestral share in the land. Their housing problem was solved by transferring 42 cities from the other tribes' inheritance to the Levites and priests. In addition, the priests were given homes in the six cities of refuge, described in the Torah [Numbers 35] as islands of protection for anyone who killed accidentally, the fear of revenge by blood relatives of the victim forcing the 'killer' to flee for his life.
Inside these cities, the accidental killer could receive asylum, starting his life all over again without the fear that one of the victim's relatives would kill him.
Maimonides, in his Laws of the Murderer [Ch. 8, Hal 9] points out that all 42 of the Levitical cities were in fact cities of refuge, a total of 48 such cities throughout the land. We have to remember that all sorts of unsavory types fit into the category of the accidental killer; even someone who intended to murder X and ended up murdering Y, or someone who merely intended to maim significantly but not to murder, was called an accidental killer (shogeg), and had a right to seek asylum. Such individuals may not warrant the death penalty in a Jewish Court of Law, but they hardly merit a special prize or even an honored "aliyah" to the Torah. They certainly can hardly be counted among the elite of serious Jewry.
Is it not strange that the Torah commands the priestly class, whom I would have imagined to be located as near to the Holy Temple as possible, to have their lives intertwined with such petty criminals and lowlifes - or at least "trigger-happy" individuals? Finally, the Kohen-Priest ascends the `bimah' to ask the Almighty to bless the Israelites with the words: "Blessed art Thou...who has sanctifies us with the Sanctity of Aaron and has commanded us to bless His nation Israel with love." Do we have another instance in our laws of benedictions wherein the individual bestowing the blessing must do so with love? What does this signify?
In order to begin to understand the true role of Jewish leadership, we must remember that Abraham was not the first person after Noah to devote himself to G-d. Noah's son, Shem - who according to the Midrash was not only born nine generations before Abraham but lived forty years after the first patriarch died - really qualified for this preeminent position. He, together with his son Ever, established the first yeshiva in history. And when Rebecca, Abraham's daughter-in-law, felt unwell in her pregnancy (the fetuses in her womb struggled), she "inquired of the Lord" [Gen. 25:22] - and Rashi explains that she sought the spiritual advice not of Abraham but rather of Shem. Several verses later, after she gives birth to twins, Jacob the younger son is described as "dwelling in tents." [25:27] And again Rashi tells us that these are the tents of Torah, the tent of Shem and the tent of Ever for which Jacob, midrashic sources reveal, left his father's and grandfather's home and studied Torah for fourteen years.
Indeed, the centrality of Shem and Ever in the unfolding spiritual development of the Jewish people is given full fanfare when Rashi, in the very context of Abraham's own life back in Parashat Vayera, explains that the guests of honor "at the great feast Abraham made on the day that Isaac was weaned," [Gen. 21:8] were "...the greatest of the generation (gedolai hador): Shem and Ever and Elimelech."
Thus wherever we turn it's clear that long before Abraham emerged to carry forth G-d's message, Shem had already made a name for himself as a spiritual giant. But if this is true, why does the historic chain of the Jewish people begin with Abraham and not with Shem and Ever, who preceded Abraham by ten and seven generations respectively?
This question is raised by the Raavad (1125-1198) on his gloss to Maimonides' opus. In his introduction to the Laws of Idolatry, Maimonides describes how even "... their wise men... also thought that there was no other god but the stars and spheres. But the Creator of the universe was known to none, and recognized by none save a few solitary individuals, such as Enosh, Methusaleh, Noah, Shem and Ever.
The world moved on in this fashion until that pillar of the world, the patriarch Abraham was born..." [Laws of Idolatry, Ch. 1 Hal. 2] Continuing his discussion, Maimonides goes on to describe how Abraham "...would travel and cry out and gather the people from city to city and kingdom to kingdom until he arrived in the land of Canaan," where Abraham proclaimed his message, "And he called there on the name of the Lord, G-d of the universe" [Gen. 21:33]. Maimonides details how people would always flock to Abraham who would then instruct them about the true path.
But where, asks the Raavad, is Shem in all of this? "If Shem and Ever were there [and we know as we've pointed out earlier that they were the leading Sages, the gedolim] why didn't they protest this idolatry?"
The Kesef Mishnah (Rabbi Yosef Caro) offers an answer to this question: "Abraham would call out and announce (to all the peoples) belief in the unity of G-d. Shem and Ever taught the path of G-d (only) to their students. They did not awaken and announce the way Abraham did, and that's why Abraham's greatness increased."
Said simply, Shem and Ever were Torah giants, and like many great roshei yeshiva they were deeply involved in the spiritual progress of their students. Shem and Ever, spiritual giants, concentrated on the intellectual and religious elite.
In contrast, Abraham understood that the mitzvah 'V'ahavta et HaShem Elokecha' (And you shall love the Lord your G-d) means that the G-d who created all of humanity wishes to be beloved by all humankind; this requires going out and traveling and teaching the masses in a Chabad-NCSY-like fashion. And indeed, this is what Abraham did, succeeding on an unprecedented scale. Only a person who has a profound love for G-d and all of His children could ever really become a leader, and the founder of the nation of Israel. Only an Abraham could have been chosen by G-d as the first Jew.
This element of the Abrahamic personality was codified by the Torah into the priesthood. The priest-Kohanim first and foremost had to love every single Jew - had to call upon G-d to bless the Jews in a loving fashion and had to demonstrate their love by living with the dregs of Jewish society in the Cities of Refuge. The Kohen-priest had to love his fellow Jews so much that he would gladly be willing to defile himself so that another Jew could become pure! This is the secret of the mystery of the red heifer!
Tragically, we no longer have a red heifer, an authoritative priestly class, a sacrificial cult in our Holy Temple. But happily we do have a few altruistic Jews who burn with love of Israel, who are more than willing to risk their own impurity so that other Jews can be purified.
Such a pure Kohanic soul - who befriended the friendless, who went to distant places to embrace distant souls who yearned to feel the nearness of Divine love, who fearlessly entered places where everyone else feared to tread, cities of refuge where 'accidental' killers roamed - was Reb Shlomo Carlebach, zt"l, our holy brother. He was not from the school of Shem and Ever, but rather from the school of Abraham and the school of Aaron, who gladly risked impurity and suffered humiliation so that his beloved brothers and sisters could find warmth and truth and G-d. If there were more souls like his, we would once again be worthy of a red heifer, an authoritative priestly class, and our Holy Temple in Jerusalem rebuilt.

North West RSS Feed
Leigh, Tyldesley and Lowton pupils inspired by Poet Laureate at Manchester University
1:40pm Friday 1st February 2013 in North West
PUPILS from schools in Leigh, Tyldesley and Lowton met Poet Laureate Carol Ann Duffy when they attended the launch of a language project at Manchester Metropolitan University.
Fred Longworth High School, Lowton C of E High School and Westleigh High School heard were inspired after hearing her her read her work and now are set to enter the Mother Tongue Other Tongue competition. This will feature a series of regional competitions split into two parts.
Students who do not have English as a first language have to describe what a lullaby, poem or song in their native language means to them, while as part Other Tongue pupils have to create an original poem in a second language that they are learning.
Schools will forward a shortlist of 10 entries and the winners will have their work published in an anthology.
Westleigh pupil, Leah Finnerty, aged 14, said: "I really enjoyed it. I didn't expect it to be so funny!."
Imani Kyem, 13, who also attends Westleigh High, said: "I can't wait to enter the competition"
Lowton C of E High School pupil, Megan Sutcliffe, 14, was really impressed: "It was awesome. I had no idea poetry could be so much fun."
Westleigh teacher Heather Greatbatch said: "It was an inspiring afternoon of multilingual, multicultural poetry and music. Our pupils loved the experience."
Schools who wish to get involved in the project should contact Claudia Conerney at Manchester Metropolitan University on 0161 247 1789 or email email@example.com

It's no coincidence that this week's Retro Cinema choice is "Hellraiser." Because in case you haven't heard, the remake has been given a green light. Now, I know you hard-core horror fans like me are out there saying "Oh, God no, not another remake!" But fasten your seatbelts kids, because for once this is good news: Clive Barker is gonna direct and Doug Bradley is coming back as Pinhead.
Now that's how you do a freakin' remake.
When Barker first directed "Hellraiser," he had a very limited budget and in fact, he confesses in the DVD commentary that he basically got the resurrection scene special effects done for much less than what it should've cost (only $25,000) because the studio liked what they saw of the film and threw a few more dollars their way. That scene wasn't even in the original script due to not having a budget for it.
I think it's fair to say that this time around, Barker won't face those kinds of problems. Nor have to resort to the cheesy painted in special effects he did himself -- those being my main criticism of the original as well as the pretty dreadful acting of Ashley Laurence (sorry, but it's true.) Sure, there are a few things that went wrong, but a whole lotta things went right.
While I'm sure most people reading this have seen the film, I don't want to give away too much just in case, but let's just say after "Hellraiser," people really didn't look at hooks and chains quite the same way again. Nor their prim and proper British wives.

It takes about an hour to walk the trail—an easy hike—and another hour to climb Mt. LaCombe Ridge. Permission from the St. Lucia Forest & Lands Department is required to access the trail in Barre de l'Isle; a naturalist or forest officer guide will accompany you.

'Kai Po Che' to be screened at Berlin film festival
MUMBAI (Reuters) - Bollywood film "Kai Po Che", based on a novel by Chetan Bhagat, is the only Indian film among 31 features to be screened in the Panorama segment at next month's Berlin Film Festival.
The film, based on Bhagat's "The 3 Mistakes of My Life", is about three friends and their dream of setting up a cricket academy in India.
Directed by Abhishek Kapoor, "Kai Po Che" features lesser known actors Sushant Singh Rajput, Amit Sadh and Raj Kumar Yadav.
"We've put our heart and soul into giving this movie our best, and bringing to life an inspiring story set in today's India with a contemporary ethic," director Kapoor said in a press release.
In the past, the Berlinale has included Indian films such as "Gattu" and Shah Rukh Khan's "Don 2" in its festival line-up. The 63rd Berlin film festival runs from February 7 - 17.
"Kai Po Che" opens in Indian cinemas on February 22.

Common core education talk draws opponents in Manchester
The chair of the Curriculum and Instruction Committee has agreed to put the topic on the agenda for its next meeting May 28.
The move comes a day after the full board approved a nearly $84,000 contract for a Boston-based company to train teachers in the elementary and middle schools in the Common Core standards, which will be implemented in the fall for English and math.
The Monday meeting was the first time the full board discussed the contract or the concerns raised about Common Core. The only two votes against the contract came from board members Art Beaudry, Ward 9, and Debra Gagnon Langton, Ward 2, who questioned the need to hire an outside firm and the expense of the contract. The company will be paid $6,500 a day.
"We have a superintendent for curriculum and instruction who makes $100,000 a year," Langton said, referring to Assistant Superintendent Michael Tursi, whose salary is $105,000. "With the kind of budgetary situation we're in, we're going to give $83,000 to someone?"
Several groups have opposed Common Core, which has been pushed by the Obama administration as a way to develop nationwide standards for student achievement.
A local activist, Deborah Olszta, has raised concerns about Common Core with city officials since early March.
"I've conjured up a bee's nest. They all ignored me except for my representative," Olszta said, referring to Beaudry. "The children, they're all guinea pigs. This has never been tried. It's one big experiment."
Beaudry said on Tuesday that he didn't necessarily agree with Olszta's viewpoint, but he said he had called on district officials to respond to the concerns. "Tursi has been skirting this issue for months now," he said.
Superintendent Thomas Brennan, Mayor Ted Gatsas and others at the meeting indicated they had also heard from Olstza.
"Any time you put a standard like Common Core out there, you hear from people throughout the country, people who don't approve of it," Brennan said. "Every time a new math program has been introduced you get warnings the sky is going to fall."
Gatsas said he raised the issue with principals whom he respected.
"They assured me this is the right thing to do for students in Manchester," he said. "Who better to know than the principals in these schools?"
The proposed contract for "Common Core State Standards Alignment" was first publicly discussed two weeks ago at a sparsely attended Curriculum and Instruction Committee meeting April 17.
The meeting was held at Northwest Elementary, before a redistricting forum.
According to a document presented to the committee, three companies had responded to a request for proposals for the contract. Student Focused Educational Consulting bid $31,600; Pearson bid $270,000; and the Public Consulting Group, based in Boston, bid $83,900.
Brennan and Tursi recommended PCG based in part on the "experience and expertise" the firm would bring to the district. The committee voted to support the recommendation.
The contract calls on the company to devise a plan for Common Core alignment in grades K-8 for math and language arts, and to conduct staff training over the summer. Beaudry, who was at the meeting last month, voted against the contract. "There was nobody vetting this out," he said.
While some conservatives have taken aim at Common Core, it's more recently drawn criticism from teacher unions.
On Tuesday, the president of the American Federation of Teachers called for a moratorium on Common Core assessment testing, arguing that teachers haven't had time to prepare for and create a curriculum around the standards.
As of last year, 45 states had adopted the Common Core standards for math and English, however,
Common Core repeal bills have been proposed in seven states.
Under the New Hampshire Department of Education's plan, school districts this fall must begin "instructional shifts" in math and English to meet the Common Core standards. Starting in the 2014 school year, assessment tests will be geared toward Common Core, in place of current the NECAP statewide testing system.
Olszta, the local activist, said she and others opposed to Common Core would appear before the curriculum committee later this month.
"Every student in the country is going to be doing same thing at same time. China can do this sort of thing, but in America, this is supposed to be an open and free-thinking society," she said, adding, "I homeschooled my children. I have a degree in education, and I know enough to know better."
Ward 1 school board member Sarah Ambrogi, chair of the curriculum committee, did not return a call for comment. Assistant Superintendent Tursi was unavailable for comment.

Another hour ticks by as the police formulate their next move to draw out the terrorist group that has taken over NEO TV.

But the idols may not be the terrorists' true objective - the carefully planned takeover seems to have been designed specifically for Oriha and Black Label!

Words From The Past
When once a republic is corrupted, there is no possibility of remedying any of the growing evils, but by removing the corruption and restoring its lost principles; every other correction is either useless or a new evil. -- (The Spirit of laws by Charles de Secondat, Baron de Montesquieu)

"This is the thing. I have ADD and I have this company that was a hobby that I built into a real thing," says Tom DeLonge when describing his recently launched company, To The Stars. "We do entertainment stuff, technology stuff and we build brands. I have the ability, which is probably a bad thing, to do a bunch of weird shit however I want. As long as I don't tank it, they are pretty supportive!"
The San Diego native's previous hobby has now expanded into an empire based out of Southern California, which is also home to his other business ventures Macbeth Footwear and Modlife – a technology that creates fan clubs for artists, with an impressive roster spanning from the likes of Pearl Jam to Kanye West to Nine Inch Nails.
"Indefinite hiatus" were the words Tigers Jaw left us with when they announced the departure of several band members including primary vocalist/guitarist Adam McIlwee in March last year, just a few weeks before a string of summer tours was due to kick off. Faced with the frankly heartbreaking prospect of never hearing from the group ever again, the majority of their fanbase went all Ross Geller on the situation – taking their announcement more as a "break up" than "a break". Nevertheless, Ben Walsh (vocals/guitar) and Brianna Collins (vocals/keys) followed through with the tours, enlisting members of label-mates Basement to fill the gaps, and it didn't take long before Run For Cover announced that the original members of Tigers Jaw had "reformed" to release a 7" single – the prelude to their fourth studio album, Charmer.
Not for this to sound like an elegy for their career (although it is, in a sense, an elegy for an era), but if Charmer is to be the last album that features all original members of Tigers Jaw, thus bringing this particular chapter to an end, then they have closed the book with a seriously defiant slam. Charmer is undoubtedly one of their strongest releases to date. Arguably, it is their best.
Blink-182's 5x Platinum album Enema Of The State was released 15 years ago today (June 1st).

Ranchers in Colorado are on edge following the latest of a series of bizarre attacks on horses and livestock.
According to an article in the Denver Post:
The foreman on the ranch stated that though they assumed the animals had been shot, no bullets had been found in the wounds, which made it all the more mysterious. This led the ranchers to suspect that the animals had also been stabbed by unknown assailants.
Cattle mutilations have plagued ranchers in Colorado, New Mexico, Texas and other parts of the Southwest for decades. Many explanations have been put forth, including extraterrestrial aliens, religious cults and chupacabras.
So far the favored theory in this case is that the killings are the product of a sacrificial ritual. Why else would someone shoot and mutilate a horse?
Animal sacrifice has historically been a part of many religions, including Christianity, Judaism, Islam and Hinduism. In America today the practice is mostly limited to Afro-Caribbean religious groups, such as Santeria. Though extremely unlikely, followers of Santeria might have happened to be driving through rural Colorado when they decided to make a pit stop to sacrifice a horse.
Of course, it's possible that one or more of the deaths were intentional. Sadly, cases of random strangers and sick pranksters shooting, torturing and sometimes even mutilating pets and livestock are not unheard of.
But it's also possible that many or all of the deaths were perfectly natural.
In many cases mundane explanations have been found for initially mysterious animal deaths. For example ranchers and police in Colorado's El Paso county were baffled by the strange deaths of 16 horses and mules in a pasture in 2005.
Like the animals at the Esty Ranch, authorities at first believed that the animals had been shot because some carcasses were found with what appeared to be bullet wounds. No other obvious injuries or marks were found on the animals, making the deaths all the more mysterious. A more thorough medical examination revealed no trace of bullets in the wounds. The injuries were superficial and could not have killed the animals.
Finally veterinary investigators concluded that most of the animals, if not all of them, had in fact been killed by lightning. The mysterious "bullet wounds" never existed.
Often so-called "mysterious" wounds are actually created by ordinary predators and scavengers, both large — vultures, raven, and crows — and small — blowflies and maggots. In several cases, what had at first been described by laypeople as cuts with "surgical" (or even "laser-like") precision turned out to be ordinary decomposition.
Carrion animals eat soft tissues of the body cavities first — the mouth, anus, nose, and eyes. That's why those are the parts that would be discovered "missing" in an animal discovered dead.
Without knowing what killed an animal, it's impossible to determine the exact time of death. Most "mysteriously killed" animals are found within a few days, which is plenty of time for an animal's soft parts to be completely gone.
Sometimes the animals are said to have been drained of blood. This, too, has a forensic explanation.
Blood will naturally begin to clot and coagulate after the animal dies, creating the appearance of a loss of blood. The blood of course hasn't gone anywhere. It has just partly dried up, and the water content has evaporated. Unless the animal is professionally necropsied, it will appear that the carcass has been drained of blood — a process detailed in my book, Tracking the Chupacabra: The Vampire Beast in Fact, Fiction, and Folklore.
While ranchers and police await more definitive answers, the Gunnison County Stockgrowers Association has offered a $500 reward for any information leading to the conviction of those responsible for the livestock deaths.
