Road to closing the achievement gap
Local columnist Deidra Jackson takes a look at studies of newborns and young children and how they develop academically, pointing out that race and class aren't as big of factors as parenting and the quality and quantity of speech in the home. (January 20, 2011, Page 4)
Science, fair?
Have you been working on a science project lately. Or perhaps you've been helping someone with theirs? Staff Writer Melanie Addington debates the pros and cons of science fair projects and learns that she's certainly not alone. (January 14, 2011, Page 4A)
Longer school year? Admirable but not feasible for all
Local columnist Deidra Jackson takes a closer look at a recent appeal by President Obama to consider a longer school year to help with education in the United States. Discussions with former teachers and a current administrator show some of the concerns that educators and parents would have with the well-intentioned recommendation. (October 14, 2010, Page 4)
'A lucky man'
The local school system, from nursery school through law school, has been good for many local residents and their families, Andy Phillips writes in a guest column supporting passage of the referendum to raise funds to build a new high school. Phillips points to the quality of education and its draw on outsiders, and says it's time to support a move to continue that high level available to local residents. (October 13, 2010, Page 4)
School not the only place for teaching, learning
President Barack Obama spoke about education earlier this week, suggesting holding teachers and students accountable and considering a longer school year. Those things, plus money, may help Johnny learn to read better, but probably not any more than things his parents, siblings and relatives could do at home. Editor Don Whitten calls on family members to do their part in the education process as well. (September 28, 2010, Page 4)
Sleazy Self-Expression
After addressing one of his student's dress – a cap turned around backward and droopy pants – as he came into the classroom recently, local columnist and college instructor Jimmy Reed thought back to his high school days and what his principal did when he was not satisfied with his students' dress. (September 28, 2010, Page 4)
The main goal should be helping kids learn
We've heard for years that we shouldn't label people and things and now the accountability reports for state schools are out and schools are being – you guess it – labeled Star or High Performing or whatever all the way down to failing. Editor Don Whitten wonders if so much emphasis has been put on reaching certain levels and rankings that we're spending more time "teaching to the test" than teaching our youngsters the basics of reading, writing and arithmetic. (September 13, 2010, Page 4A)
Who likes early-August school days?
Did football move up the start of school? Or did school move up the start of football? Editor Don Whitten takes a closer look at early-August school days in Mississippi and lists some of the factors in the earlier start to classes these days in reaction to a move by a group called "Save Mississippi Summers" to have classes start later in August or even in September.

Robot Self-Assembles And Walks
by Michael Keller
Roboticists have developed a flat machine that can fold itself into an operational form and take a walk.
Built mostly from paper and polystyrene plastic that shrinks into a memorized shape when heated, the robot can assemble in around four minutes. It can crawl at roughly 2 inches per second and make turns. The work by Harvard and MIT engineers represents the first time that a robot has self-assembled and performed a function without humans needing to intervene.
"Here we created a full electromechanical system that was embedded into one flat sheet," said Harvard Microrobotics Lab researcher and doctoral student Sam Felton. "Imagine a ream of dozens of robotic satellites sandwiched together so that they could be sent up to space and then assemble themselves remotely once they get there–they could take images, collect data and more."
What the AWESOME
I always start with something… but as I continue working, I become less and less aware of it. In the end, I can barely remember the subject matter that I started with.
"The cyber-lords have already convinced us that maps, paper, pens, and even push buttons are somehow incredibly inconvenient and clumsy, leaving us scraping and pawing like drooling bug life on their flat digital dildos."
Song Hia is a Product Specialist at Percolate but previous to his current position he was a community manager for the speaker series at Ignite NYC.
1. What is your community manager "superpower"?
Consuming everything just like Matter-Eater lad. The Ignite NYC Speaker community are pretty prolific creators and staying up to date on their projects and endeavors was really important in building the network.
2. What are sites that you read on daily basis?
Nowadays I try to stay in the stream of Twitter, but recently I find myself gravitating towards email newsletters. I dig Undercurrent's and Community.is from Sarah Judd Welch among others.
3. What's a specific campaign that you are proud of?
Guess Watches: One To Watch. It was an international contest to recruit fashion bloggers and I learned a lot from the awesome design, development, and production team that worked on it when I was a digital producer.
4. Which campaign do you wish you did?
The Subservient Chicken. That campaign completely changed my perception about what advertising on the internet could be.
5. What's your best time-saving shortcut?
Using something like the Eisenhower Matrix and ultimately deciding to:
do something immediately, do it later, decide a specific time to do it, delegating it, or not doing it.
I also like the Datexx Miracle Cube Timer. It's basically a glorified stopwatch that I got it for my girlfriend, but I end up using it all the time.
6. If you could only use one social channel, which would it be and why?
Speaking from a brand perspective, it would depend on the goals and strategy. For me personally, I cleaned up my news feed by unfollowing a ton of sources and it's great.
7. What was one surprising thing that you learned from your audience?
How formally educated the Ignite NYC community is. 90% graduated from a 4 year college and 40% has an advanced degree.
8. When I have a creative block I ______________________ for ideas.
Do absolutely anything and everything unrelated (grab a coffee, take a walk, ride my bike, distract other people).
9. If you're were not doing this job, what would you be doing?
Doing something at the intersection of technology, communication, and culture.
10. In the next 6 months what are we all going to be talking about?
The 90s.

At the beginning of The Shining, when Jack calls Wendy to tell her he got the job as winter caretaker of the Overlook, she sits in front of a painting of a woman holding a dog. The painting is titled "Woman and Terrier" (1963) by Canadian artist Alex Colville.
Colville's paintings are often described as having a subtly unsettling quality, which is perhaps why Kubrick chose to feature them in The Shining.
Colville died in 2013 at the age of 92. After his passing, his son, Graham, remarked:
"I must say, I (felt) slight surprise when I saw Stanley Kubrick's film The Shining and I suddenly realized my father's paintings were in the background in numerous scenes. They were implanted in that film as almost subliminal messages."
Another of Colville's paintings can be seen in the same Boulder apartment, and yet another can be seen at the Overlook, near the end of the film. A fourth hangs in Room 237.

What was really sick-making, though, was Florida's easy assumption that creativity was a thing our society valued. Our correspondent had been hearing this all his life, since his childhood in the creativity-worshipping 1970s. He had even believed it once, in the way other generations had believed in the beneficence of government or the blessings of Providence. And yet his creative friends, when considered as a group, were obviously on their way down, not up. The institutions that made their lives possible — chiefly newspapers, magazines, universities and record labels — were then entering a period of disastrous decline. The creative world as he knew it was not flowering, but dying.
Good to know Thomas Frank (and The Baffler) are still going strong.
For a long time, outside of diners, I drank a lot of instant coffee and I would drink it from styrofoam cups. For many years, I drank probably 20 cups of instant coffee per day. One of the things I discovered from drinking coffee in a styrofoam cup was a kind of fantastic visual trick. If you have a full styrofoam cup of coffee and you move the cup slowly on a certain type of surface, a vibration will come forth and ripples will appear on the surface of the coffee. And if you push the cup a little bit faster as it's vibrating, individual droplets will leap out of the ripples and dance all along the surface of the coffee.

Fourth-quarter hiring pace expected to slow – surveyBack

"The ongoing trend of indecision with regards to the eurozone crisis and fluctuating degrees of confidence and doubt, as well as key negative events, such as the recent Lonmin mine debacle, that alarmed foreign investment, continues to cause businesses to be cautious in their hiring plans," workforce solutions company Manpower Group South Africa MD Lyndy van den Barselaar stated.
Despite a cautiously optimistic third-quarter recovery, the 750 employers surveyed indicated that fourth-quarter recruitment would fall in nine of the ten industry sectors reviewed. This would be particularly evident in the electricity, gas and water supply sector and the restaurant and hotel industry, where the outlooks drop to their weakest levels, since the survey started in 2006, at 0% and -4%, respectively.
The manufacturing sector was expected to fall 12 percentage points quarter-on-quarter to a net employment outlook of -9%, followed by a seven-percentage-point quarter-on-quarter decline in both the construction sector, to -1%, and the wholesale and retail trade sector, to +5%.
The transport, storage and communication sector would experience a six-percentage-point quarter-on-quarter decline to -1%, while the agriculture, hunting, forestry and fishing sector record a one-percentage-point quarter-on-quarter fall to +4%.
The mining and quarrying and the public and social sectors would both record a net employment outlook of +3% during the fourth quarter.
The survey noted that the most optimistic quarter-on-quarter hiring plans would occur in the Free State, with a two-percentage-point rise in the net employment outlook, reaching +6% during the fourth quarter. Gauteng would fall four percentage points to +3%, while KwaZulu-Natal would drop two percentage points to -6%.
The Eastern Cape and the Western Cape would record net employment outlooks of +1% and 0%, respectively for the fourth quarter.
Meanwhile, year-on-year, the hotel and restaurant sector was expected to fall 10 percentage points, with the mining and quarrying sector and the transport, storage and communication sector each decreasing six percentage points. However, the construction sector would record a six-percentage-point improvement.

Tuesday, June 2, 2009, 02:29 AMWelcome to the first edition of our DiveBlog. We will be using it to keep you informed of important information and issues about diving, and specifically about Great Lakes diving.
Posted by Administrator
Posted by Administrator
Speaking of Great Lakes diving, the diving season is getting underway. We have several interesting charters booked, and are looking forward to getting a lot of dives in. By the way, this is the time to be checking out your gear, if you haven�t done that already. The cool, refreshing waters of the Great Lakes (I don�t want to say cold and dark) are a demanding environment for scuba gear, so it is important that you make sure yours is serviced and ready to use. Don�t forget to check your tanks for up-to-date visual inspections (required annually) and hydrostatic test dates (every five years). You don�t want to miss a charter because the dive shop can�t fill your tank.

What's so good?
By Rachel Skotarczyk | Nov 07, 2012 | Total plays: 67,185
"Please Don't Turn Me On," by Artful Dodger, met its production soul mate with Disclosure. The amazing future garage duo expertly pulled out the essence of the track. Powerful and clear, the dangers of seduction never sounded so good.
Grab hold, and let this remix seduce you. If your nerves were on end last night and you're tired of all the Facebook political ranting, then listen tothe words of Jane Austen: "From politics, it was an easy step to silence" -- and an amazing excuse to get lost in the music.

Mystery woman who paid $2,600 tab for strangers was not Powerball winner
pictured above
Recent Powerball jackpot winner Gloria C. Mackenzie, 84, (pictured above) was not the one who recently picked up the tab for 180 diners at a Florida restaurant on Sunday. A mystery woman resembling MacKenzie generously paid a tab of nearly $2,600.
After 180 diners at a Florida restaurant received a free meal from a stranger on Sunday night, locals (and soon, the Internet) were buzzing that the generous benefactor was the 84-year-old woman who recently won the largest Powerball jackpot in history.
While the woman who picked up the nearly $2,600 tab at Buddy Freddy's in Plant City resembled lottery winner Gloria C. MacKenzie of nearby Zephyrhills, Fla., it turned out to simply be an anonymous kind soul helping the lucky diners hit their own little jackpot on the dinner bill.
"It was not her,'' Buddy Freddy's manager Stephanie Reaves told TODAY.com on Friday. "It turns out it was another angel to come in here and spend that kind of money.''
Good manners results in fortune for Florida Powerball winner
The woman came with a younger man and another woman and ate a meal in the early evening on Sunday, according to Reaves. After leaving, they returned and the woman said she was picking up the tab for 180 diners while declining to give her name. She also left $50 tips for five servers as diners stood up and applauded and thanked her, which Reaves said she had never seen in her 35-year restaurant career. While the woman was still in the restaurant, Reaves and another employee pulled up a picture of MacKenzie online to see if it was the local woman who just claimed a $590 million jackpot.
"We looked for Miss Gloria online and it was not her,'' Reaves said. "She looked similar, but it wasn't her. We also went and asked the woman (if she was the Powerball winner), and she said no. Plus, you knew they weren't from around here. They had to be from the West or up North.
"The reason she bought so many meals is because she met so many nice people, and she wasn't used to that," Reaves explained. "Down South, we'll come up and hug you for no reason and are just friendly people. When they left and got down the road, I think they thought, 'Let's go back and bless those people.'''
The real MacKenzie has not been in Buddy Freddy's before to Reaves's knowledge.
"She probably doesn't even know where we are,'' Reaves said. "She lives such a common life, she's probably scared to go out after winning."

The Quality and Realism is quite good in this self-portrait. She used really soft colors and different textures, giving it a real-life look, and it is a very calm and peaceful piece.

last week was only an aftershock
of the earthquake you were before.
this place used to vibrate
with metal strings and melodic,
off-key shouting-
testimonies to life,
emitting coffee-scented moods
and the burn of it too.
i had memorized the
sounds of silence,
a cacophony
so despised
i couldn't help but relish it.
no longer had i known
the sounds of folk
and scent of mocha-
you became nothing more
than an echo of the laughter
i so desperately needed to hear again.
then the echoes got louder,
bouncing ferociously off the walls
to be made manifest
and dissipate.
i walked into your room
expecting exactly what i found-
an unmade bed,
bare desktops,
and an empty beer
(the one that you insisted you needed
just days ago).
i pressed my nose
into the pillow
hoping desperately,
begging silently
for incense and cologne and starbucks
to penetrate my mind
and thinking fervently

what a clean sheet smells like."
it's amazing
how strong an aftershock can be,
