Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
caring teachers, great sense of "community, character, and compassion" with the new principal leading engaging whole-school lessons at monthly assemblies, wonderful nature area with students planting and caring for trees...excellent music teacher who is a master educator and motivator - getting 1st graders to understand, apply, and enjoy learning notation and intervals (through fun clapping activities and movement-based musical activities with relevant and artistic props) - and she then runs a great choir for the upper grades; this jives well with the annual upper-grade musical planned in coordination with a local theater company; Mrs. Zufall and Miss Wilkens are excellent in particular - loved our experience at Birchview!
Birchview Elementary School is a great school. The techers do not pretent to their students. The students are taught the right lessons. They are a very good role model for our children and the next generation in our school disrtict. we want to keep teachers like them in all of our school system in the entire U.S school system. many thanks to all of you at Birchview. Esther Kamara (Loshiaka's mother)
I have been nothing but pleased with our Birchview expereince. My son has thoroughly enjoyed his first grade and now second grade teachers. The staff is very welcoming and involved. I highly reccomend Birchview. The pod classrooms are not ideal, but our a reality of the financial state of MN. They do an excellent job with the space they have.
Since this is greatschools.org, it's important to point out that Birchview isn't exactly a great school, but rather merely "good" school in a great district. Not every school is equal across the school district, that's why it is really important be involved in your child s academic experience. Albeit, Birchview is blessed with a strong principal (who is credited for making much headway), who is retiring. In addition, they have some very nice teachers. Be warned though, as they teach in pods. That s a nice way of thinking of an open room with four separate classrooms in one room, divided by book shelves. Not only is it loud, but it is very cluttered due to space limitations. Things were hanging from the ceiling and there wasn t an inch of wall space noticeable. The classroom and building is also dark. Not really an environment conducive to learning. There were only two slivers for windows in the classrooms. It s really not where we, let alone our children, would like to be 8 hours a day.
Birchview has excellent teachers and an outstanding principle - in turn they have wonderful students achieving academic excellence. I wish more schools in our nation could do all the great things that Birchview is doing!
My son attended this school only to have the kindergarten teacher constantly questioning my son of my parenting then getting other parties involved especially outside sources. I understand the concerns the teacher may have had, but my son was traumatized by their actions.
When relocating to MN, I personally interviewed 13 different schools, 7 principals, and narrowed it down to 2 - then instructing my realtor to find a house by one of them, ending with a purchase a few blocks from Birchview. I am so happy with the staff, the curriculum, the pod setting, the WPS resources, and the location. This is a community that values education!
My grandson attends this school. I have visited his classroom and think they have wonderful teachers.

Congressional Delegation Laments ConocoPhillips' Decision
Alaska's Congressional Delegation commented today on ConocoPhillips' decision to delay exploration in the Chukchi Sea, with the three expressing disappointment.
Rep. Young put the blame on the federal permitting process, saying: "Uncertainty in any business can be detrimental, and in ConocoPhillips case, federal regulators going forward must provide some level of assurance for offshore exploration to occur in the Arctic so that we can continue to move the country closer toward true energy independence while also creating long lasting jobs for generations to come."
Rep. Young named President Obama's administration as "continuing to hamper the oil and gas industry."
Sen. Murkowski was a little more measured, saying she expected the decision, though it was disappointing. She said: "Companies can't be expected to invest billions of dollars without some assurance that federal regulators are not going to change the rules on them almost continuously. The administration has created an unacceptable level of uncertainty."
Sen. Begich also commented that he's spent four years working with the administration and industry to promote responsible development, and that he "will continue to encourage the Department of Interior and industry to work together, iron out their differences and get moving on exploring and developing these resources that are key to our economic and national security. While today's decision is disappointing, I remain encouraged and optimistic about the progress the administration has made."

Celebrating New Year's Eve With A Hair Marquee
On my way back from my Christmas vacation in California I had to make a stopover the evening of December 30th in Las Vegas. As you may be aware, New Year's Eve in Las Vegas is insanity. They block off the strip from Mandalay Bay to the Riviera and everyone is partying in the street
Forgettable Christmas Memories
For me Christmas is simply about the 3 F's... family, friends and football. My family doesn't have many enduring Christmas traditions and that may have something to do with some memories of Christmas that I'd frankly like to forget

Unlike some, my family is not laden with holiday traditions but we do have a few and here they are:
1. Turkey, turkey, turkey. Yes I know, not that unique BUT some families have ham instead, some Mexican families have tomales and yet others do roast beef

This Saturday Mark and Paul the Breakfast Flakes will host the annual Flakesgiving to feed families in need this holiday season.

Halloween Brings Out The Best In People
Okay, I might be exaggerating a bit but the coolest thing happened to me last night... when I came home there was a half empty 12-pack of Coke Zero sitting in front of the door to my apartment building with a note above it (it's in the above pic but the flash obscured the writing) that said "Take One, Happy Halloween"
The Great Pumpkin Comes Tonight
It's Halloween and that means costumes, parties, trick-or-treating and the great pumpkin.
Embarassing Halloween Costumes
As a kid I wore the standard Halloween costumes made from materials that I'm sure would be banned today because they would either light on fire in a slightly warm room or give a rat toxic shock syndrome

Long Haul flights are never fun. Everyone knows that 34 hours worth of flying across the globe is extreme, but getting to go to either a country you've never been to before or even home for a visit, has to be worth the hassle right? But how do you prepare yourself for such extreme travelling and such ridiculously long haul flights? You pack the essentials and prepare yourself of course!

The Indianapolis Colts are playing a bit of mind games with the New England Patriots this week. They have signed former Patriots WR Deion Branch on Monday onto their roster.
Branch is very familiar of the Patriots and how they operate in that locker room. I am sure that the Colts coaching staff will be picking his brain a bit to get any insight that they can from him. Branch had spent two stints with the Patriots and has won a couple of Super Bowls with them.
I am not sure if Branch can even run right now. He has spent the whole season in the unemployment line and now he has been signed to the Colts, 5 days before they face the Patriots.
They might as well sign Randy Moss and Chad Johnson right now also. Just to show that they are messing with the Patriots. Branch will likely sit the sideline for hte game, but I love the head games that they are playing.

Last season was a topsy turvy one for the Carolina Panthers.
They finished the season with a 7-9 record and failed to make the postseason. With that said, however, it could have been a lot worse had the Panthers not gone ahead and finished the season with four straight wins.
This is exactly where the team stands right now as they head into their showdown with the 6-2 San Francisco 49ers. The Panthers have won four consecutive games and find themselves with a 5-3 record and one game behind the NFC South leading New Orleans Saints.
For the first time in five seasons, the Panthers are two games over .500 after their team's first eight games. With the way the team is playing now, they are putting themselves in a good position to make the postseason for the first time since 2008.
Leading the way for the Panthers is their star quarterback Cam Newton. Through his team's first eight games, he has thrown 13 touchdown passes for 1,801 yards with a completion percentage of just over 64 percent and a QBR of 93.1.
While there are still some things that Newton needs to work on such as the amount of times he has been sacked (22) and further lessening the amount of interceptions he throws (7), Newton has this team rolling in the right direction. In his last four games, he has done a great job of protecting the football, has thrown seven touchdown passes and rushed for 128 yards with three touchdowns.
Steve Smith, the Panthers' ageless 34-year-old warrior, is also having a productive season for his football club. He may just have three touchdowns but he does have 36 receptions and has avearged just over 10 yards per reception.
Furthermore, Smith looks reborn on this team this season. With the team playing meaningful football games, Smith has an opportunity to be of something great for perhaps one of the last times in his career.
The team has also gotten solid play from the likes of Mike Tolbert (six touchdowns), Greg Olsen (three touchdowns), and Brandon LaFell (three touchdowns). The Panthers have showed offensive depth this season and because of that, find themselves in the middle of the pack this season in points for with 204.
The Panthers' defense has been the team's biggest strength this season. As of this writing, they have allowed the least amount of points against (106) and in their last four games, have allowed just 48 points.
After further examining the Panthers' defense, one will see that the team has allowed just 13.2 points per game (second in the league), have kept opponents to less than 300 yards per game and have the league's third ranked defense. The Panthers will need to continue to play this way with big games coming up against the 49ers and New England Patriots.
Should the Panthers continue to play well on both sides of the ball, it could end up being very exciting come January for this team and their fans.
Panthers Head into Showdown with 49ers Playing Game the right way

I use WinNT sp5. Recently (I *think* just after I installed W2K to another partition), my icons started being junk after every reboot. I can repair them with TweakUI, but next boot, they're stuffed again. Anyone have any ideas?

...until there's not enough
Thomas Peterfry and his engineers hacked into the NASDAQ terminal and wired it up to their own computer, which traded automatically based on algorithms.
A senior NASDAQ official saw Peterffy's setup and said Peterffy was breaking the rules: All orders had to be entered through the keyboard. He gave Petterfy's group one week to fix the problem.
Peterffy and his engineers came up with a solution. They built a robot with rubber fingers that typed entries into the keyboard. It satisfied the NASDAQ rules. And on active trading days, the robot typed so fast it sounded like a machine gun.

FCW published an article Sept. 6 in which sources questioned the integrity and trustworthiness of the National Institute of Standards and Technology following the release of top-secret documents showing the National Security Agency weakened a set of encryption standards adopted for worldwide use in 2006.
Readers expressed concern at the news, questioning whether the NSA's intervention was a one-time event or a frequent occurrence.
So if our computer security standards are open to, let's call it "tweaking", I wonder what other standards that NIST regulates are "tweaked?" remarked one reader.
Another said, So much for NIST's credibility. I noticed they ignored the good stuff brought to them, now we know why.
A reader identifying himself as William Frazier questioned why government agencies even bother to compare each other's security protocols when they're all apparently operating with subverted encryption standards promulgated by NIST and used in IT solutions mass-produced by vendors.
Another reader wondered how far down the rabbit hole NSA-tweaking extends beyond encryption standards.
Frank Konkel responds: NIST responded to the criticism on Sept. 10, reopening the standards for public scrutiny and stating "NIST would not deliberately weaken" standards it approves for adoption.
However, the key word here is "deliberately," and I agree with readers who believe NIST's credibility is now open to question. When a top-secret NSA document – leaked by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden – states directly that the NSA "became the sole editor" of the weakened encryption standards in question, what does that say about NIST?
Nobody has come out and claimed responsibility for the apparent weakness in standards, and it's unlikely anybody will. What is more likely is that the cryptographic community will work hard to expose the vulnerabilities– if any – and work to correct them in a widespread, yet sensitive endeavor. If vulnerabilities exist, patches will be made. But as several cryptographers have noted, the time between when a vulnerability is found and a patch is implemented is key.
Regardless, the revelations uproot the image of NIST as a "just the facts, ma'am" agency based on scientific principles, which is sad for federal agencies and worldwide commercial organizations that adhere their security standards to NIST recommendations. What role did NIST play in adopting the weakened standards?
The agency says none at all, and that raises questions in itself. How many other standards were adopted in the same fashion? Was NIST handcuffed by the NSA from discussing any kind of potential sabotage? How often does the NSA take the lead on standards for unclassified systems?
NIST regularly exposes its standards to public scrutiny in an effort to be a transparent organization, but if anyone at the agency knew the NSA deliberately or even inadvertently messed with standards, they sure didn't make a public fuss about it.
While the whole issue got lost in the NSA leaks story, the NSA's efforts to defeat encryption by any means necessary is one of the biggest stories to come from Snowden's flash drives. Perhaps there is more to come on that front, and if it involves more collaboration between NIST and the NSA, it may be more bad news for feds.

While it is easy to speculate or fantasize about NIST collaborating with NSA, the point that is being missed is that NIST's statement is actually a bit of a middle finger to the NSA. When one agency is accused of weakening a standard and another says there is no way they'd ever do anything to support that, it suggests that there is a pretty big schism here and a real violation of the boundaries that the two have generally had in place. That may be the bigger story here.

UPDATE: Saginaw's east side schools to potentially close down
Funding and enrollment issues surrounding the Saginaw School District are beginning to resemble the closure of Buena Vista, last year.
Parents, students and faculty of Saginaw High, Ruben Daniels and Heavenrich Elementary will know their fate on Saturday.
Yesterday, the board was expected to vote on the closure of all three schools located on Saginaw's east side.
M-Live reported this morning that the vote for the original proposal to close the schools was delayed, 6-1, until Saturday.
Saginaw Superintendent Carlton Jenkins and his administration originally proposed a restructure of the district. It would include the school closures, moving students and making cuts.
Recently, the Michigan Department of Education was unable to approve Saginaw Public School's 2013-14 Deficit Elimination Plan.
According to a letter sent to Saginaw from the department, the state is concerned the district is not making significant changes in its operations to mitigate increases in its current deficit.
In addition, the letter said that Saginaw will be given until Monday, February 10, to come up with a viable Deficit Elimination Plan.
If a viable plan is not approved, the state will withhold the district's February state-aid payment of just under $5 million.

Stabbed Student Shows Up For Job Interview
samzenpus posted more than 5 years ago | from the forget-the-sick-days dept.6
A 16-year-old student went to a job interview instead of the hospital after he was stabbed. The Staff at the King West Vets veterinary clinic noticed blood on the students leg during the co-op placement interview and called police. "He did really well on the interview and we were very proud of him for sticking to the appointment," said veterinarian Kent Ackerman. He wouldn't say if the student will get the job. You know times are tough when showing up after being stabbed doesn't land you the job.

What is BASICS?
BASICS (Brief Alcohol Screening and Intervention for College Students) is an early-intervention program designed to help students evaluate the risks that may result from alcohol use. It is an empathetic, confidential, non-judgmental program open to all JMU students.
It consists of two, 50-minute interview sessions that use self-assessment of alcohol use, behavior, and potential risks, and then helps students identify potential changes to reduce future alcohol-related negative consequences.
BASICS is not an addiction treatment program. Referral to appropriate community resources is available.
Looking for a Change?
While in college, some students may drink alcohol heavily and/or have negative consequences that result from alcohol use. BASICS can help students who want to examine or reduce their alcohol use.BASICS can help students that are:
- Referred by administrators, faculty, staff, coaches, or friends
- Mandated by the Office of Student Accountability and Restorative Practices for a JMU alcohol policy violation
- Court-mandated to complete substance abuse prevention hours
To discuss the appropriateness of BASICS for yourself or for a student, please contact Substance Abuse Prevention Specialist Paige Hawkins at email@example.com or 540-568-2831.

Can someone verify something for me?
Do an NSLOOKUP for www.stemtostern.com and stemtostern.com
against the i.gtld-servers.net
why would the www one resolve?
You have www.stemtostern.com registered as a name server, so there's a glue
record for it in the GTLD servers.

Penetration Testing
mailing list archives
I've been asked to speak before an executive audience (C*Os)
about the state of security. The group that's invited me wants
some data points for these folks, i.e., whether security is
improved/same, etc.
The problem I am having with all the material I've so far
encountered is that it's been provided by (you bet) C*Os.
Alfred Huger has request that you please direct
all responses to me (mailto:yodave () hargray com)
I'll post the summary results to the list.
I appreciate that the questions are not specific. They are
only intended to help frame the presentation for the C*Os
Disclosure: I won't be paid for this presentation.
2: We have purchased and use better and more security technology than we
did prior to 911
Better (Y or N)
More (Y or N)
3: Our security posture is more proactive today than 6 months ago (Y or N)
4: Our organization acknowledges the importance of security and
a) revised policy accordingly (Y or N)
b) increased funding for security (Y or N)
c) made corresponding changes to our security services (Y or N)
5: Business continuity and disaster avoidance planning
has received the most attention and funding (Y or N)
6: The concern with business continuity and disaster avoidance
has diverted attention and funding from other security issues (Y or N)
Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Service. For more information on SecurityFocus' SIA service which

A script to install all required Software Updates
It's an excellent script. Granted a bit on unix knowledge goes a long way in understanding what's going on with this.

Group shot!
Sorry to inundate you with these posts but the guitars are really cool and I've been photographing them for several years now. It's a project that's close to my heart.
See my earlier post about my Dad's travel guitars. I help him out with the photography.
Detail shots. I always like the results of shooting closer.

Dirt shovel
This plugin enables players to prevent grass spreading by just using a shovel, no commands! Ideal for making dirt paths in a traditional way, graves and what other stuff you can think of.
- Prevent grass spreading on specific blocks
- No commands, using in-game tools
- Simple visual&sound effects when using tools
- No storage, it changes blocks' data value and gets saved inside the world
- Not permanent, won't work if plugin is removed, so no world damage !
- Optional no-snow on no-grass spreading blocks support
- Tools are damaged when used (configurable)
- Customizable messages
- Configurable tools that can be used to prevent/restore grass spreading
- You need a shovel...
- Right-click a dirt or grass block
- And done! That block will not turn into grass as long as the plugin is active
- You can undo the action by right-clicking the block again
- Place the jar file in your plugins folder (http://wiki.bukkit.org/Installing_Plugins)
- Start server to generate config and configure (plugins/Dirt shovel/config.yml)

will addwill most likely add a new "damage value" of dirt which cannot become grassy. The damage value of this dirt is "1". Just thought you should know so you can remove the code in this plugin (for 1.7) which forces dirt with a different damage value to not become grassy, as that would be redundant.
Sure, I'd love to include my server IP here. But it's under construction, and I wouldn't want to get sued for players wandering inside and getting hit by a random beam of steel floating about. And no, I doubt plugins would make very good lawyers either. I've never seen a plugin that forced you to sign a contract do so well.

It appears that snow cannot land on top of dirt blocks affected by this plugin. :x
Also, I'm really curious, but could you explain how the plugin locks each dirt block in place without needing some kind of database file? (Explain it in Pseudocode or something.)

Nice plugin, thx !!!!!

Hey man, I recently found you through a post, I am a beginner java developer, when I clicked on here I didn't know exactly how your plugin worked but I thought, you must be storing each block. then I check out your source to find that there is only one class. Thanks to you I learnt something new today, keep up the good and simple work! :P

text: Sitting here today I begin to think about my own legacy and the legend I will leave behind.. Last time I wrote (to myself) it was to discuss that I would my leave my legend by my creations, this still stands true. I also want more from my life. I am a perfection that perpetuates my shortcomings from my fear of expressing my eccentricities. I am weird to others, but I believe I am the normal one. What is truly weird is hiding your eccentricities and not expressing who you truly are in life. No person should ever be afraid to be themselves or ever be afraid to express themselves. I have feared this for years now.. I have been afraid to be myself and afraid to show everyone that I have my own quirks. I can honestly say that I was afraid of not being like by my peers for my point of view. But sitting here in a sports bar in Tempe, Arizona waiting to hop on the train to Phoenix to attend the Arizona Diamondbacks game I vow to never hide my quirks or my or idiosyncrasies (yes I realize they are virtually one in the same) again. I am who I am and my life is my life, it hasn't always been beautiful and it wasn't always pretty, but it's been exciting and I would never trade it for another. These words I will stand by - Live the life you love, Love the life you live..

A funny thing happened to the College of William & Mary (Va.) on its way to a more efficient way to determine each of its undergraduate students' home address.
A funny thing happened to the College of William & Mary (Va.) on its way to a more efficient way to determine each of its undergraduate students' home address.
College campuses are typically beautiful places. Tree-lined walkways, verdant quads, and stately buildings make for a pleasant place to take a walk.
It wasn't as if the admissions office at Boston University did nothing to keep from drowning in paper, working 12-hour days and weekends, and falling behind on customer service.
Until recently, applicants to the University of North Carolina, Wilmington's Graduate School mailed in their applications, which were then walked—as in, physically carried—across campus to the school's 46 different programs for review.
The paperless society that technological advances were to have fostered never happened; we are more awash in paper than ever before.
Retaining freshman students is a vital yet difficult task. Utah Valley University, with its primarily commuter campus, found it especially onerous, with about six out of 10 first-year students opting not to return for their sophomore years.
Typical college students, you've probably realized, are not 9-to-5 kinds of people. With classes, socializing, part-time jobs, and a myriad of other duties and desires crowding their schedules, they live by clocks that vary widely.
Of all the voluminous paperwork generated by institutions of higher education, perhaps none drowns administrators quite so much as the waves of financial aid forms that surge through offices.
Advancement officials at Southern Polytechnic State University (Ga.) had both practical and aspirational reasons to reconsider how it ran its faculty/staff annual giving campaign.
Since the market crash of 2008, a number of private education lenders have left the marketplace.
Increasingly, college and university leaders are recognizing that no undergraduate education is complete without exposure to cultures outside the United States.
As students returned to campus this year, administrators had the chance to motivate them to succeed in school with findings of the most recent study on how college degrees are critical to economic opportunity.
Most people go to Disney to relax and have fun. For the past three years, David Zanolla, a communication instructor at Western Illinois University, has taken students in his Disney World Communication Culture course to see the principles they learn about in class in action.
Complying with the growing and increasingly complex Title IV federal student aid regulations is an ongoing challenge for every campus that administers federal student aid. Performing a word count of student aid regulations in 2000 and 2010 reveals a 40 percent increase over that decade.
Imagine it's the end of the semester. Students are pulling all-nighters to complete term papers and study for final exams. The stress level is off the charts, and some students reach for the pack of cigarettes for a "quick smoke" to help calm their nerves.
