I. General Questions
What are the average GPA and GRE scores of your incoming students?
The department has no official cutoff in terms of scores or grades. Numbers lower than the averages listed below will not automatically end your chances of being admitted. The admissions committee tries to look at all aspects of a students record -- not just grades and scores but also your research goals, experience, and a whole host of considerations. Your statement of purpose and letter of recommendation are thus very important.
Last year, for all students we admitted to the program, the average Verbal GRE score was 649, and the average Quantitative score was 697, for an average Total GRE score of 1345.
Our incoming class of 14 averaged 1329 on their GREs (655 Verbal and 679 Quantitative).
In recent years our incoming students have had undergraduate GPAs well above 3.5. Last year, the average GPA for those we admitted was 3.78 and for those who enrolled the average GPA was 3.66.
(back to General Application Questions)
What are the chances of being admitted to the program?
Last year we gave offers of admission to 40 applicants out of a total pool of 176 applicants (23 percent). 15 students accepted our offer of admission, or 38 percent of those we admitted.
Do I need an undergraduate degree in political science or international relations in order to be admitted to the Ph.D. program?
No, a good proportion of the students we admit each year did their undergraduate work in other fields. For example, of the students we admitted for 2007, a little under 20 percent had degrees from other fields, including Anthropology, History, Mathematics, Psychology, and Women's Studies.
Do you require an M.A. degree for admission to the Ph.D. program? Do most of your students have further education beyond the B.A.?
We do not require that students have an M.A. degree before entering the Ph.D. program.
Many of our new students come right out of undergraduate programs, but perhaps a third to one-half will have already earned master's degrees at other universities. For the current group of incoming students, 6 out of 14 have already earned a Masters degree.
(back to General Application Questions)
Is an interview required for admission?
No, but you are welcome to visit the campus on your own. You should contact Professor Uriu and the faculty with whom you would like to meet.
Also, if you are given an offer of admission, you will be invited to a "Visiting Day" before you will need to make your decision on whether to enroll. Since this will be held after you are already admitted, it is really more of a chance for YOU to interview US.
Do you require students to have any work experience?
Many of our incoming students do have some level of work experience outside of academics, but this is not a prerequisite.
Do you offer an M.A. in political science?
Students may earn an M.A. degree on the way to earning the Ph.D., but we do not admit students who intend to complete their studies with an M.A..
(back to General Application Questions)
Can I enroll part time in the Ph.D. program? Can I take classes during the evening to fulfill your degree requirements?
No, the Ph.D. program requires a full-time commitment to classes prior to advancement to Ph.D. candidacy (generally at the end of the student's third year in the Ph.D. program). Most of our graduate classes are offered during the work day.
I have an M.A. degree already. Can I transfer some of these credits to your program?
The department allows students who have an M.A. degree to transfer up to six courses for credit. No more than three of these courses can be in political science. Final decisions on transfer credit will be made only after you have been admitted to the program.
(back to General Application Questions)
II. Financial Aid
What is the basic financial support package that you offer to the students you admit?
In the recent past, we have offered all of our incoming students a full five years of guaranteed financial support. The School's basic package consists of 15 quarters of a half-time Teaching Assistantship, which will pay all registration and educational fees, covers health insurance costs, and provides a stipend to cover living expenses (for 2007-08 this stipend was $15,600 per year).
The school will also pay your Non-Resident Tuition (NRT) costs in your first year, if applicable, while you establish your California residency. This is a simple process and is optional but highly recommended: if you do not become a state resident by the end of your first year, you will be responsible for paying your own NRT until you do so.
UCI also guarantees access to on-campus housing. Last year the guarantee was for at least the student's first four years of study.
The School's support package is of course contingent on the student making satisfactory progress in the program, including satisfactory performance as a T.A.. (Note also that students who receive full support from external fellowships or grants do not normally receive additional support from campus resources.)
(back to Financial Aid Questions)
What other support do you offer the students that you admit?
Our most competitive students will receive Merit Fellowships from the School of Social Sciences. These fellowships allow the student to choose 3 quarters in which they will not have to serve as a T.A., but will still have all of their fees and health insurance costs covered, plus receive a living stipend. Merit winners also includes a one-time summer stipend to be used after the students' first year (for this year the summer stipend totaled $2,500).
Students with exceptional records may also be awarded additional fellowship support directly from the School of Social Science or the Department of Political Science. Those with specialized interests may also receive support from other academic units in the school, most notably the Center for the Study of Democracy and the Center for Asian Studies.
You can find more information on the financial support that UCI offers its incoming graduate students at http://www.polisci.uci.edu/gradfunding.htm
(back to Financial Aid Questions)
What other financial support is available to students after they enroll in UCI?
During the course of the academic year the Department of Political Science and/or the School of Social Sciences regularly hold competitions for fellowship quarters, which allow students to receive a stipend without needing to serve as a T.A.. In the past, separate competitions have been held for students who have not yet advanced to candidacy and for those working on their dissertations.
The department also makes funds available for summer stipends, on a competitive basis. The School of Social Sciences and the department provide funding support for travel to conferences.
In addition, many of our students have received grants and awards from other units in the school or on campus. In the past academic year, our students have received grants from the Center for the Study of Democracy, The Center for Global Peace and Security, The Center for Asian Studies, the Center for the Scientific Study of Ethics and Morality, the Center for Citizen Peacebuilding, and others.
(back to Financial Aid Questions)
Do you offer Research Assistant (RA) positions?
RA appointments are made directly by faculty with research grants. Generally, faculty make these to students who they advise or who they have worked with in the past. As a result, relatively few RA appointments are made to first year students.
How do students typically support themselves over the summer?
The Department holds a competition each spring to support summer research projects. In addition, for students remaining on campus, summer classes provide some opportunities to serve as teaching assistants or graders. Once students advance to Ph.D. candidacy, graduate students are eligible to teach summer session courses as instructors, on a competitive basis.
What duties will I perform as a Teaching Assistant? What is a "half-time" T.A.?
Your T.A. duties entail working with the professor in charge of the class to which are assigned, including holding discussion sections and/or office hours, grading papers, and other duties assigned by the professor. T.A.s are expected to work approximately 20 hours per week.
In the past, some students have been able to serve as a T.A. into their sixth years, but this is not something that we can guarantee.
(back to Financial Aid Questions)
III. Retention and Placement
What percent of your students end up getting the Ph.D. degree?
From 1990 to 1999 about half of our total incoming students ended up earning the Ph.D. degree (the figure is actually 48.4%). The department is a relatively young one, having been officially created only in 1986. We expect this number to rise in the future.
What is your average time to degree?
For those who have completed the Ph.D. program, the average time to degree is currently 7.3 years.
Where do those who get the Ph.D. degree end up? Are most still in the academic field?
For the past decade (1996 through 2006) the department granted 47 Ph.D. degrees. Of these, 39 are still engaged in academic careers.
Our recent Ph.D.s are evenly split between research universities and teaching-oriented institutions. We expect the proportion of our students taking jobs in Research Universities to rise in the future, but many of our future Ph.D.s will continue to prefer jobs in teaching-oriented colleges.
Five of our graduates have taken positions at prestigious universities abroad.
Of the eight who have left academics, four have taken positions based on the Ph.D. work.
For more details on our placement history, go to: http://www.polisci.uci.edu/gradstudeplacementhistory.htm

IV. Other
What is the code for UCI's Department of Political Science?
UC Irvine's Institution Code is 4859.
The department code for Political Science is 1902 for the GRE and 89 for the TOEFL.

Dahlia, Crimson, Vermilion and Cardinal is the color palette for Vera Wang's Spring 2013 collection, and it is breathtaking! Always presenting the bridal world with something exciting and new, Vera Wang changes the look of the traditional "wedding gown". We loved her dark, dramatic, yet eerily romantic black wedding gowns of her Fall 2012 collection, but the vibrant, rich reds in this collection has made me at a loss of words to describe how gorgeous….I will just let the dresses speak for themselves. They will do a much better job.

Hwy 30A in Florida is a unique area that features some of the most beautiful beaches in the Florida. Visitors enjoy 30A because of the laid back lifestyle and wide variety of things to do. Hwy 30A has very strict commercial and residential building codes that prevent the building of high-rise condos and large commercial projects. This creates an environment filled with beach houses and small 4 story condo projects. 30A is less congested than many areas along the Emerald Coast due to these strict building codes. 30A also features many different communities within about a 20 mile stretch. You can visit, Santa Rosa Beach, Dune Allen Beach, Blue Mountain Beach, Grayton Beach, WaterColor, Seaside, WaterSound, Alys Beach, Seacrest Beach, Rosemary Beach, and Inlet Beach.

The silliest argument for eco-subsidies is that they will boost the economy
There may be a perfectly good argument for stimulating energy diversity. North Sea reserves are dwindling, and most of the world's fossil fuel resources are controlled by unpleasant regimes (which is no accident, by the way, but that's another story).
I'm struck, though, by the way in which greenies have taken to arguing for alternative energy, not on strategic grounds, nor yet on ecological grounds, but as a way to stimulate growth. This reasoning is demonstrably false. As Bastiat would have said were he living at this hour, arguing that we are 'creating green jobs' is analogous to arguing that the state should pay gangs of people to smash windows, so as to give work, not only to the window-smashers, but to the glaziers, hauliers and so on.
Nor, as you can hear me telling an unsympathetic chamber in the above clip, do individuals or companies need to be told to reduce their energy bills: they have every incentive to do that already.
By all means make the case that energy diversity is so important that we are prepared to pay a price for it: there are respectable points to be made on both sides of that argument. But to argue that green subsidies are good for the economy is palpably silly.

NASSAU, Bahamas (AP) - The leader of the Bahamas' former main opposition party has been sworn in as prime minister, promising to strengthen the tourism-dependent economy, reduce crime and improve prospects for the unemployed.
Perry Christie led his Progressive Liberal Party to victory in Monday's general elections over Hubert Ingraham's ruling faction.
At his oath of office ceremony on Tuesday, Christie said he will "exert every effort to alleviate the problem of joblessness" over the next five years.
The unemployment rate has risen to nearly 15 percent.
Local media say exit polling shows Christie's party won at least 29 of the 38 seats in Parliament. The official tally is pending.
Ingraham conceded defeat after polls closed and announced his retirement from politics.
Christie previously served as prime minister from 2002 to 2007.

OSSIAN – There was no parade for the Woodlan Warriors here Friday night. There was only the rain.
A rain of 3s, that is.
David Vogel buried the first one for Norwell three minutes in, Brent Bales soon followed with another, and by the time they were done, the Knights (15-5) had pelted Woodlan with 10 buckets from beyond the arc and left the Warriors (12-6) foundering in a 70-41 rout.
That's our team, that's our makeup, Norwell coach Randy Hawkins said. We need to continue to do that the next couple games into our postseason, and, you know, just keep doing what we're doing.
They did plenty of it Friday, dropping seven 3s in the first half to open a 16-point lead at the break that never got any smaller. Bales led the Knights with 21 points while Vogel went for 19 and four 3s and Drew Shively added 15.
We really rely on our outside shots, Hawkins said. We got David Vogel and Drew Shively and Brent Bales hitting tonight. Those three guys are shooting pretty well from the 3-point line, and Piercen (Harnish) does a great job of rebounding.
That is the Knights' formula, after all.
I feel like we know where each other's at, Bales said. When we drive, we know that David's going to be in the corner, Drew's on the wing, we know where everybody's at. We can get them a good look and they can go straight up and shoot it.
Piercen stays inside and the rest of us are out around the perimeter driving and kicking, looking for open shots.
We're a bunch of shooters. We don't have a lot of size, so we don't dominate the inside. So to equal that out, we've got to hit shots from the outside.
Friday night, that was a mission accomplished from the start.
Norwell never trailed after Vogel dropped that first 3, turning a 2-1 deficit into a 4-2 lead. Woodlan hung around briefly, however, and it was still a two-point game at 16-14 after Jeffrey Jones, who led the Warriors with 10 points, began the second quarter with a bucket.
But another 3, this one from Shively, kicked off a 7-0 run for Norwell, and the Warriors never saw anything but the Knights' receding taillights again. The Knights scored 20 of the last 26 points of the half, and the lead reached as many as 33 points in the second half as Woodlan, which plays for the ACAC title tonight, liberally substituted.
For Norwell, meanwhile, it was a bright spot in a difficult day. Both teams and their supporters were led in prayer at midcourt after the final buzzer in remembrance of Norwell junior Heather Reynolds, who passed away on Thursday.
Heather and her family are in our prayers, Hawkins said. As a community, we're strong. We'll get through things like this.

Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Fans of magic, mystery, and adventure will love the first exciting Sixty-Eight Rooms Adventure—the perfect next step for kids who loved the Magic Tree House series, and readers who love Chasing Vermeer, The Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler, and Wonderstruck! Almost everybody who has grown up in Chicago knows about the Thorne Rooms. Housed in the deep inside the Chicago Art Institute they are a collection of 68 exquisitely crafted miniature rooms. Each room is set in a different historic period, and every detail is perfect. Some might even say, the rooms are magic. Imagine—what if on a field trip, you discovered a key that allowed you to shrink so that you could sneak inside and explore the rooms' secrets? What if you discovered that others had done so before you? And that someone had left something important behind?
The New York Times:
Chicago Sun-Times:
Chicago Tribune:

But the stakes are high. Budding cryptologists, Shakespeare fans, and mystery lovers alike will revel in the twists and turns of this fascinating middle grade sequel to Secrets of Shakespeares Grave.

This show review is a guest post by Alex Byrd. Follow her on twitter: @_THEMUSE_
Shogun, Adikt Footwear, Unkommon Kolor, and ESPN deserve an infinite amount of daps and chest bumps for harmonizing the best hip-hop sounds of Dallas under one roof this past Sunday.
Every single act killed their sets, sent the audience into another world and we in turn saw first hand what happens when pigs fly and you say hello to earth.
The boisterous collections of sounds manifested into a verbal art form could correct any form of ADD one had prior to entering. I mean, don't be a sore loser if you were unable to witness the legendary antics; it pays off to be a nice guy.
A.N.T. kick started the show with a few tracks from his newest mixtape, Classics. Every head began to bob a little harder when the first few beats of Jay-Z's "Hard Knock Life" dropped. He rapped his song entitled "College Life" while sporting his usual trademark NBA head band. A.N.T., a student of the University of North Texas, enjoys that song because, "it's a fun track with a lot of energy and everyone who knows anything about college can relate." He hopes to continue growing his fan base for those who enjoy catchy and relatable music.
The perfect segue between awkward technical difficulties, was the spoken word version of "The Rapture" articulated by Jamil Kelley. This surprising cameo performance was a preview for his EP entitled, Neo Tokyo, due to hit a stereo near you on Thanksgiving Day and for that we are forever thankful.
The young, black, and reckless man himself, K.MC, took the stage soon after Kelley in a refreshing and conversational manner. He performed "The 1st Song," "Killa is Illa," "I'm Cool," and "Fly Attitude" featuring Marie Ferow from his latest mixtape Young, Black, and Reckless. However, the crowd favorite and my personal favorite was the song entitled, "You Don't Work, You Don't Eat" featuring Tunk. Old and newly acquainted fans recited the lyrics, "If you don't work, you don't eat, you don't grind you don't shine" in perfect unison with the track. Straightforward lyrics, crystal clear message, but entertaining nonetheless. They are a great team and I hope to hear additional collaborations between the two of them in the future.
A.Dd+ was next to the stage, and performed "Po my Liqua" from their project Power of the Tongue, and "Brain Sex," "Mary Go," "Greedy," "Smell My Cologne," and "Goodwill" which will debut on their upcoming project entitled, When Pigs Fly later this year. Their musical ease and delivery as a duo seems nearly impossible, hence their hyperbole album title insinuating that their album will exceed supposed impossibilities. Touche.
The Nice Guys from the "Bayou City" followed as if they were right at home. After experiencing their first live performance, I am protesting that The Nice Guys change their name to The "Amazing" Guys. Christolph, Candlestick, Free, and Yeves ripped the stage in a way that wasn't so nice. The appropriate adjective would be epic. Not in the cliché sense that hipster kids use the word in, but in the super exclusive way. It was interesting to see them perform outside of their element so to speak. I was a fan before their performance, but now I feel like the next step is to be an endorser. If you were unable to see them at Sunday's show, you can always listen to their latest album ironically entitled, The Show. Enjoy.
Last but not least were the headliners Sore Losers along with their band, HelloeARTh. The crowd became excited as the lead guitarist, K.Cooks, welcomed everyone with the Monday Night Football theme song. Lead MC Vincent Brown began to rap over "Wanna Be a Baller," which was made famous by Lil' Troy. After the exciting renditions, Brandon Blue, the man behind the beats, joined Brown and A.Dd+ in their new hit song, "Likeamug." The song is backed with captivating beats and fun lyrics, which made for a great beginning. The remainder of the songs were a compilation of tracks from their Freeloaders mixtape, such as "Cooler Than Coach K" with a new and rich jazzy feel. That showed diversity from the original tracks, "Dope", "8587" and the last song – "Epic Outro" – which just happens to be my favorite due to the sample of Coldplay's "X&Y."
There is no excuse for anyone not to have come Sunday unless you were literally on your death bed. As you should, because funeral preparations are necessary. You have not yet lived if you haven't heard the music that satisfied my eardrums that day.

text: I have been experiencing a warm feeling inside my left breast. I dont feel like this on my right breast. I started feeling this 3 years ago, I had mammogram that time but nothing. My fault though, was I didnt undergo ultrasound which was advised bec. I have a dense breast. My doctor now suspects some hormonal changes bec. I was using oral contraceptives. She advised me to stop OC and wait after 2 months. If I still feel feel warm after that time then I'll undergo mammo. Now my problem is I dont know if I still can wait for that time. Im very worried now esp. after reading abt. IBC/ Inflammatory Breast cancer. Please if you now have answers to my queries pls. share the info. tnx

Vegan Rice Crispy Treats
OK, here's a classic summer throwback dessert that I've been missing for years! Now, I just need some lemonade and a sprinkler to run through …
Ingredients (20 servings):
- 8 cups rice cereal (try brown rice cereal, too)
- 1/4 cup ground flax seed
- 1 cup brown rice syrup (or other sticky sweetener like agave)
- 2/3 cup sunflower seed butter
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- Lightly oil a 9×13 pan with whatever oil you have on hand. Coconut oil, safflower, sunflower, or vegan butter spread, would work well. Set aside.
- Place rice cereal and ground flax seed in a large bowl. Stir to combine and set aside.
- In a medium-sized sauce pan or frying pan, add rice syrup, sunflower seed butter and vanilla extract. Heat over medium heat, stirring often, until ingredients have liquified, about 5 minutes.
- Pour syrup over rice crisp mixture and stir to coat.
- Once all crisps have been coated, drop the mixture into the prepared pan and even it out with a spatula, pressing down firmly.
- Allow to sit for 1 hour in the refrigerator before cutting into squares.

Also, try this recipe for a non-nut butter version or this one if you want to make a smaller batch. Or, try popcorn instead for some popcorn balls. Lastly, drop some non-dairy chocolate chips in there (step 2) for some chocolate goodness!

A bunch of really yummy looking recipes!
"Go be that starving Artist you're afraid to be. Open up that journal and get poetic finally. Volunteer. Suck it up and travel. You were not born here to work and pay taxes. You were put here to be part of a vast organism to explore and create. Stop putting it off. The world has much more to offer than what's on 15 televisions at TGI Fridays. Take pictures. Scare people. Shake up the scene. Be the change you want to see in the world. You'll thank yourself for it."
"A hug is like an emotional Heimlich. Someone puts their arms around you, and they give you a squeeze, and all your fear and anxiety come shooting out of your mouth in a big wet wad and you can breathe again."
"You wouldn't worry so much about what others think of you if you realized how seldom they do."
"A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself-and especially to feel, or not feel. Whatever you happen to be feeling at any moment is fine with them. That's what real love amounts to - letting a person be what he really is."

Second that. Saw a man knocked off his feet early this morning after a car stopped suddenly (without skidding which was impressive) and the snow slid off in one lump...
On the way to work this morning at 07.30 saw loads of people with their lights on, shining bravely through several inches of snow....
I would like drivers to put their lights on when it gets dark please. Thats without snow on the roof, windscreen, windows etc.
How about drivers not turning into complete penis jockeys when there is snow about. And I don't mean driving fast, I mean suddenly having an inability to stop, reverse or do all the normal curtious things we all do normally.
I'd like drivers with vehicles not suited to driving over high ground blocked by snow to think twice and not attempt said roads with no preperation or ability to do so blocking the road when stranded. Then give me the fingers when I drive past said stranded vehicles in my fully prepared one!
Took me an hour and 20 minutes to get to work today (normal time is about half an hour). Not because the roads were bad, not because the snow was falling particularly heavilly but because some #@*& wouldn't go above 20mph and every time they came to a side road would stop and let out everyone who was waiting. Now I'm all for a cautious approach but on a clear snow free main road there's just no excuse.

Question & Answer: The Truth About America's Schools
From the July/August 2007 Issue
Filed under: Big Ideas, Government & Politics, Public Square
Is K–12 education really lagging badly, or have we 'raised our sights'? DIANE RAVITCH answers the tough questions.
1. How big is America's school system?
Nearly 55 million children attend schools in the United States, taught by about 3.5 million teachers. About 89 percent of students from kindergarten through the 12th grade attend public schools, the rest private or religious ones.
2. How can we judge the quality of U.S. schools?
There are several important benchmark tests, administered to students in many countries.
In the United States, testing companies make assumptions about what students at different grade levels will learn, in part by examining textbooks that are widely used across the nation. Thanks to these tests and the similarity of textbooks, there is already something akin to a national curriculum in science, mathematics, reading, and history.
Some children will do poorly on tests simply because the curriculum in their classroom, their school, or even their country did not include the material that was tested. The tests send a signal to educators about what is usually taught, as well as what was taught poorly and therefore not learned. This is a backward process—we should be setting the tests based on the curriculum, not setting the curriculum based on the tests.
3. So how do American students compare to peers internationally?
In assessments of math and science, U.S. performance is mediocre. There are two major tests, the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) and the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA). On the math portion of the TIMSS, our eighth-grade students rank 16th among 46 nations. The 15 entities whose students outperformed ours include Singapore, Taiwan, Korea, Hong Kong, Estonia, Japan, and Hungary. On the PISA test, American scores in science and math literacy were below the average for the 30 nations of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). The American Institutes for Research examined the scores of the 12 nations, including ours, that participated in TIMSS and PISA in 2003 and found that our students consistently ranked eighth or ninth of the 12. Only mathematics and science have been consistently tested, because other subjects are culture-bound. We spend a lot on education—only Sweden spends more—so these outcomes are disappointing.
4. Do we know how American schools today compare with those in the past?
We have had consistent measures of academic performance for national samples of students only since the 1970s, when the federal testing program called the National Assessment of Educational Progress was created. The SAT, previously known as the Scholastic Assessment Test and before that as the Scholastic Aptitude Test, is another measure that has been around since the 1940s, but it tests only students applying for college.
Median SAT scores peaked in 1964, then declined steadily until 1980. Median math scores rebounded almost to their earlier levels in the late 1980s, but median verbal scores hovered in the 420s (the mean score earlier was 500). The College Board ended the embarrassing annual discussion of low verbal scores by "recentering" them in 1994, so that median verbal SATs once again were about 500.
Test scores don't tell the whole story. American students, at least those in the top classes and schools, study far more demanding programs in mathematics and science than were offered half a century ago. However, students today are likelier to know less about history and literature than their counterparts of earlier generations.
5. Who is responsible for improving the system?
Education has long been the primary responsibility of state and local governments—now, there are about 15,000 local school districts. Until 1965, the federal role in education was very limited. Even today, Washington meets less than one-tenth of the costs of public education, but its importance in shaping education policy has grown steadily over the past 40 years.
6. How and why has the federal role expanded?
The Founders believed that education was necessary to create an enlightened public, but they did not envision a federal role in education. The U.S. Constitution does not even mention the words "education" or "school," so, by omission, the responsibility went to the states. In 1787, Congress adopted the Northwest Ordinance, setting out the ground rules for the formation and governing of new states. The document said, "Religion, morality, and knowledge, being necessary to good government and the happiness of mankind, schools and the means of education shall forever be encouraged." Still, the federal government itself had an insignificant role in education for most of our history.
In 1867, Washington began to collect statistics and report to the public about "the condition and progress" of education, but the federal government did not get directly involved in changing the way schools work until 1917, when Congress passed a national law to encourage vocational education. Other programs followed, notably the National Defense Education Act in 1958, which supported the teaching of science, mathematics, and engineering in response to the Soviet launch of Sputnik, an earth satellite.
But the biggest change in the federal role was the passage of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) in 1965, as part of President Lyndon B. Johnson's Great Society program. That act provided federal aid to education, targeted especially at districts with large numbers of poor children. After the passage of ESEA, many more federal education programs were enacted. In 1980, in the closing days of the Carter administration, a federal Department of Education was created. And most recently, with the passage of the Bush administration's No Child Left Behind (NCLB) legislation, the federal government has assumed a significant role in determining what children are taught.
7. No Child Left Behind. What is it?
NCLB is a national law—passed in late 2001 by 381–41 in the House and 87–10 in the Senate—that aims to improve student achievement, increase accountability for results, and focus attention on the lowest-performing students. It requires every public school that receives federal funding (as nearly all of them do) to test every student from grades three through eight in reading and math. Starting this year, schools also test science.
The schools must break down these scores into subgroups by race, ethnicity, disability, low-income status, and English language proficiency. All schools are to make what the law calls "adequate yearly progress" (AYP) for every one of these subgroups. All students must be 100 percent proficient by 2014.
If any of its subgroups fails to make AYP, then a school faces sanctions that grow more onerous with each passing year. In the second year, the school must offer all of its students the chance to go to another school (even though the failure may involve only one subgroup—for example, students with disabilities); in the third year, the school must offer extra tutoring to the students who need it (this rule has created a bonanza for private tutoring companies); and in the following years, if the school continues to fail to meet AYP targets, it may be restructured, its staff removed, the school turned into a charter school, handed over to the state or private managers, or closed.
8. Does NCLB make things better?
There have been gains since 2000 for black, Hispanic, and Asian students in reading in fourth grade, as well as in mathematics for all groups in fourth and eighth grades. The gains from 2003 to 2005 are small or negligible, but it may be too soon to make a definitive judgment on the effects of NCLB because the law was signed by President Bush early in 2002, and schools took a while to understand what it meant.
9. Why doesn't everyone like the new law?
State officials are unhappy that control over their schools is shifting to Washington. Teachers complain that the unrelenting focus on reading and mathematics has narrowed the curriculum to the detriment of subjects like history, literature, geography, and the arts—none of which counts toward NCLB goals. Also, the law does nothing for top students and may even divert attention from them. More importantly, the goal of 100 percent proficiency by the year 2014 is impossible to meet—unless "proficiency" is diluted to mean only basic literacy (after all, no school district or state or nation has ever achieved 100 percent proficiency). As the date grows closer, more and more schools are bound to be labeled as "failing," even if the overwhelming majority of their students are performing well. At some point, Congress will have to revise the law to recognize this reality.
10. NCLB was supposed to give students from failing public schools the chance to move to better ones. Has that happened?
Not to the extent that Congress anticipated. Studies conducted by researchers around the nation, presented at a conference at the American Enterprise Institute last November, showed that minuscule numbers of students—fewer than 5 percent of those eligible—are switching to other schools. This is because some urban districts don't have enough empty seats in good schools for all the eligible students, or students don't want to leave their schools, or the districts are not providing good information about choices. In some cases, when top-rated schools have failed to meet AYP for a single group, the other students see no reason to transfer out of their school.
11. What would you recommend in the reauthorization of NCLB, now facing Congress?
I do not think that the federal government should tell states and districts how to "remedy" problems in their schools. Neither Congress nor the U.S. Department of Education has the capacity to prescribe appropriate remedies and sanctions. What the federal government does very well is gather information and distribute money to help educate needy students. So I suggest that NCLB be changed as follows: the federal government takes responsibility for establishing national curricular standards based on international benchmarks, and for creating national tests in those subjects. This information would be provided to the states, leaving to states and districts the responsibility to determine appropriate remedies, improvements, and, where necessary, sanctions.
12. What about voucher programs? Could they give students better options?
Voucher programs use public money to send students to private schools. They have been stymied by provisions in many state constitutions that prohibit public money from going to religious schools. Opponents of vouchers are quick to sue and have been generally successful in the courts. In Milwaukee and Cleveland, the two cities where programs have survived legal challenges, children are able to use vouchers to attend nonpublic schools of their choice, including religious schools. These programs are often oversubscribed; parents are particularly attracted to the discipline and values of religious schools.
The educational research literature, however, abounds with heated debates about whether vouchers actually improve achievement. The evidence narrowly favors vouchers. But because of the constitutional constraints, the limited supply of religious and private schools, and the modest gains registered, vouchers do not seem to be a practical cure for the system as a whole.
13. What about charter schools?
Charter schools, which are part of public school systems but enjoy more autonomy, can be laboratories of school reform, demonstrating what can be done with changes in curriculum or governance or teaching methods. They are spreading: today, 16 years after the first ones were launched, there are 4,000 charters, with 1.2 million students, in 40 states and the District of Columbia. The schools' performance varies widely. There are some excellent charters but also many ineffective ones—no better than the weakest local public school.
The promise of charters was that the bad ones would be weeded out by public officials and the marketplace—since parents presumably would avoid sending their children to the poor performers. Unfortunately, there has not been enough weeding. Low-performing charter schools survive, and the students who attend them are getting cheated. For whatever reason, parents in the failing charter schools do not necessarily move out, either because they like the community or a teacher or something else (the same happens in low-performing regular public schools). The persistence of low-performing charter schools is a market failure.
For charter schools to be part of the solution, public officials must be far more vigilant in approving charter applications and much faster to shut down charter operators that cannot meet their performance goals. Meanwhile, regular public schools have shown little interest in replicating any of the successful models that have been piloted in charter schools. For example, while most people admire the KIPP schools, there are few if any public schools that are adopting the KIPP model; similarly, the Achievement First schools in Connecticut have been extraordinarily successful, but few public schools emulate them.
The experience with charters, at least as most of them are now structured, suggests that the U.S. public school system is not really comparable to a marketplace. It would be a disaster for public education if all the motivated children in a district went to charter schools and the unmotivated, underachieving students went to district schools.
14. Why does a country as rich as ours still struggle with student achievement?
Some observers blame the bureaucracy and the power of teachers' unions. Of course, other nations with achievement much higher than ours have bureaucracy and strong teachers' unions. Some say the problem is a lack of choice and competition. Others argue that students today are distracted by television, video games, and other visual media and are unwilling to spend the time required for serious reading and concentrating on lessons. Some say that the teaching profession has suffered because of the removal of gender barriers in the marketplace, with talented women entering more remunerative jobs when, in the past, they would have become teachers.
Some say the schools suffer from a general dumbing-down of the culture; for example, popular movies, once based on the classics, are now likely to feature gratuitous sex and violence without any reference to important works of literature. Still others theorize that Americans today care only about degrees and credentials, not about the intrinsic value of a good education. Some say that parents are not as involved with their children's education as they once were. Others point out that discipline problems cut into teachers' ability to teach and often make the job impossible; students know that the punishment for misbehavior will be minor.
These hunches all have truth to them, but there is one more important factor: we have raised our sights. For many years our country thrived because of the intellectual success of the top one-third of every graduating class. Now, we want to educate all children and leave none behind. This is an ambitious goal to which our sense of democracy and our belief in fairness impel us. But it won't be easy to achieve.
15. What should we do now?
No single approach can solve all our educational problems. But there is one important piece that is missing—a sequential, coherent curriculum. You might assume that a curriculum exists in every state and every district. Not true. Most states and most districts have none. This is why I think we must begin to think seriously about a national curriculum, national standards, and national tests, with states and local districts responsible for acting on the information gathered by the federal government.
When there is a knowledge-rich curriculum, all the parts of the educational system are coordinated to help teachers teach and students learn. Instead, most classrooms rely on textbooks to tell them what to teach.
For a remedy, E. D. Hirsch Jr.'s books, especially The Knowledge Deficit (Houghton Mifflin), are a good place to start. He developed the Core Knowledge curriculum, which lays out what children should learn from preschool through eighth grade. Students in Core Knowledge schools (there are about 800 that use the curriculum) achieve at very high levels, while getting a full education in history, literature, and the arts. It can be done.
The ingredients for success are the same everywhere: a coherent curriculum, highly qualified teachers, effective instruction, adequate resources, willing students, and a climate that respects education. It is good to have choices, especially for the lowest-performing students who have not benefited from their district schools. We do not need to dismantle public education. We need to do the hard and consistent work of improving it.

Review – Blood Song
Anthony Ryan
The success of Anthony Ryan's novel Blood Song has allowed him to quit his day job and devote himself to writing full time. Who is Anthony Ryan, you ask? You might be surprised to learn that his debut novel Blood Song had over 650 reviews on Amazon with an average rating of 5 at the time I began writing this review. By way of comparison, the entire list of Speculative Fiction Junkie's Top 5 Reads of 2012 has a combined total of 27 reviews on Amazon. I almost never judge a book by its Amazon reviews and I mention them here only to demonstrate the scale of this book's popularity. What would you say if I told you that this book won't even be printed in physical form until July and that it currently exists only in electronic format? I haven't read or reviewed as much pure fantasy in recent years, but the pre-publication popularity of Blood Song was just too intriguing for me to pass it up.
Blood Song tells the story of Vaelin Al Sorna who as a young boy is left by his father to be raised by the Sixth Order, one of a handful of orders dedicated to preserving the Faith. Each order performs a different primary function in service to the Faith and the Sixth's is combat. The early part of the book focuses on the training and trials of young Vaelin and his ever closer group of companions as they learn fighting, survival, and other skills. As the book progresses, Vaelin matures quickly and distinguishes himself as a leader. At the same time, he increasingly finds himself entangled in the complex interplay of the Faith and the secular power of the King. He eventually is forced to make a number of difficult decisions that lead to war and to his eventual capture. As the novel opens he is relating his tale to a chronicler while on board a ship that is taking him to fight a duel at the insistence of his captors.
Blood Song thus combines a typical fantasy story with a coming of age tale in much the same manner as The Name of the Wind does. They are also structurally similar in that they both proceed by having the protagonist relate his story to a chronicler. Despite these superficial similarities, though, Blood Song is not even in the same league as The Name of the Wind.
There are a number of problems with the book. The first is that it does an inadequate job of convincing the reader that the children we meet at the beginning of the novel are the same individuals as the adults they have ostensibly become by its end. An author cannot expect a reader to believe in a character's transformation simply because the author says the character has been transformed; the author must demonstrate and convince us of the character's transformation and this book flat out fails on that front.
A second issue that detracts immensely from the story is that it fails in a number of ways to convince the reader of the reality and internal consistency of the world in which it unfolds. The most glaring example of this is the way that no matter how big this world is supposed to be, everyone keeps running into one another everywhere. This is a frequently encountered red flag for lesser quality fantasy fiction and it is disappointing to see it here. Furthermore, travels over great distances and pivotal events like battles are often barely described and instead we join the action after they've already concluded. This gives the world a small and unreal feeling and constitutes a near total failure of worldbuilding.
Third, while a number of morally and ethically complex dilemmas are hinted at and portrayed at a superficial level, they are so wholly unbelievable that the treatment of these issues lacks basic depth and credibility. For example, at one point Vaelin realizes that one of his slain opponents was blackmailed into fighting him by threats made against his family. He is so incensed by this that he takes his beef straight to the King (who he has never met before) and demands that the man's family be taken care of. In exchange, the King extracts his agreement to essentially do the King's bidding in the future. There is nothing in the entirety of the book that precedes this sequence of events to convince the reader that Vaelin would be so incensed by this situation, much less that he would essentially compromise his entire future to see that a couple of people are treated well. Thus, from its very inception the dilemma of his competing loyalties (to his order on the one hand and to the King on the other) is unconvincing and the reader can't help but feel that it is a false dilemma. Add to these issues the fact that the novel is at times hokey, overlong, and written in prose that is little more than utilitarian and the book just doesn't live up to the hype. There is no other way to say it.
Despite the harshness of the foregoing, the news isn't all bad because if one looks past the many problems with this book, the underlying story itself is a promising and interesting one, and the book even works well in places. In the future, if Mr. Ryan can simply improve in his execution he has some real potential as a fantasy author.
The True First
Blood Song will be published on July 2, 2013 in the U.S. and U.K. by Ace. The book is already available in electronic format.

VGA 2012: Master Chief is a fan of Samuel L. Jackson: (x)
Do you believe the Master Chief succeeded because he was, at his core, broken?
The Master Chief is one of the saddest characters in video games. The list of things and people that he has lost is ever growing. And the saddest part is that he would rather do anything other than to admit the fact that he's hurting.
'Halo Landfall', directed by Neill Blomkamp.

Hi All:We recently received a new server that contained 9 900GB drives (one being a hot spare). We need to create virtual disks with a size of less than 2000GB due to the OS we're installing. Is it safer to create a single RAID container across all of the disks and create 4 VDs to split the capacity, or to create multiple RAIDs containing just 3 disks a piece?
I'd make a 9 drive raid 5 then make volumes at 2048GB.
What kind of drives?Do you need to consider raid 6 or raid 10 instead of raid 5, due to the potential for seeing a URE during a rebuild if you do have a failure on a drive?See »community.spiceworks.com/topic/1···y-978663
RAID 10.....not really enough information to make a recommendation.
RAID10.RAID5 is no longer recommended. Dell has even removed the option from the latest firmaware for ll their arrays.a RAID5 set that size may never rebuild.
I have a 12 disk raid 5 running across 2 TB SATA drives that needed to rebuild a disk and it went fine in our MSA, you can get away with it. We are using it for ip camera data so in the event of a data loss failure we aren't out much.Without knowing anything beyond 9 900 GB drives, I'd probably say 8 disk RAID 10 with hot spare if I had to pick anything based on the info provided. Then create volumes within the raid set.--How lucky am I to have known someone who is so hard to say good-bye to.
I've had many 8 drive raid 5 arrays rebuild without issuelast one was a live upgrade from 8x 146gb sas 10k drives to 8x 300gb sas 10k drives.--»Death Star Petition
And I have a few of those too. Used as the target for my backups. RAID5 is OK if you need some protection for data that can be lost.I'd never trust large arrays to RAID5
a RAID5 set that size may never rebuild.
So I guess my pair of HA 24 x 1TB HDDs running RAID-50 (single 18TB usable per unit) not gonna rebuild?I did have a failed drive and it rebuilt fine in production, albeit slow, but it worked.
With our arrays I went the RAID 6 route but in a few months will reconfigure them for RAID 10.In your case RAID 10 of 8 drives with a single HS.Edit: OP, what OS are you using? Some VM solution?
We are running VMware ESXi with 10K SAS drives.
I would echo what others have said.Raid 10 with a HS.A single data store and let ESXi manage your VHDs and their size.You do realize you are at a spf with your storage correct?

There honestly isn't anything new on the Lightning front, except for the hire of Robert Canton as the new executive vice president of finance and strategic planning. There's nothing newsworthy on the NHL front as a whole, nothing that I'd like to tell you about anyway. What? The CBA? OK, here's the scoop for tomorrow. They're gonna meet. Again. Nothing's going to get done. Again. Gary Bettman's still a creep in my opinion. (And yes, I know that this whole CBA thing doesn't rest solely on his shoulders, I just don't care for the guy. Never have been able to.) However, there is something that I think is worthy of being shared, and that is the accomplishments of Declan Farmer, a Tampa Bay Lightning sled hockey player.
Declan Farmer was born with a deformation in both of his hips and legs. At a year old he learned to walk with prosthetics, and he was skating with them by the time that he was eight. He doesn't let the fact that he is now a congenital double amputee hold him down at all. In fact, he has shown us all how to turn a 'dis'ability into an ability. Declan is one of the most inspiring fourteen year olds that I have ever hear of. He is heading into the ninth grade at Berkeley Preparatory School in Tampa. Declan has tried out soccer, sailing, and even snowboarding. However none of them made him feel the way that hockey does.
In April of 2012 the Lighting sled hockey team, coached by Mike Celona, won a national championship in a sweep of the 2012 USA Disabled Hockey Open "A" Tournament in Dallas, Texas. Farmer also has already played in international competition for a team called the Patriots under USA Hockey. Declan has been named to the 2012-2013 United States Sled Hockey Team. He will attend the first training camp next month, and there will be a monthly tournament for the rest of the year. There are three international tournaments; one to be held in the USA, one in Canada, and one in South Korea. He will be playing along side Lighting sled hockey teammate Greg Shaw, who competed in the 2010 Paralympics in Vancouver. Farmer hopes to bring home a Paralympic Gold Medal in 2014 where the team will play in Sochi, Russia.
"He's creative and he's able to anticipate openings for plays to develop," said Declan's father, Matt. "Hockey is his game because it is a perfect combination of speed, strength, and smarts."
The director of the Lightning Foundation was told about sled hockey by a college student with Cerebral Palsy, who was surprised when the Foundation started up a Lightning team. They are more than generous by donating ice time, gear, a coach, uniforms, and even a large part of their traveling expenses. The Lightning organization gave us a chance to watch the sled hockey team play after a regular Lightning game last season.
Sled hockey is a spin on the traditional sport that uses a sled made of aluminum tubing instead of skates. They have two shortened sticks with a pick on the end to help them sail across the ice. It's a wonderful sport that allows people with disabilities play hockey.
Good luck Declan and Greg! And everyone on the team.

I've come up with a creepy new head canon for my OC Reika.
I've finally come up with a supernatural ability she could use, one that involves using her own hair... By using one or two strands of her hair (wrapping and tying it around a wrist or ankle of the doll) she can control dolls to do her bidding (such as sneaking away with items from Forever 21 without having to go in).
I imagine Reika will most likely use her abilities in the most unfavorable ways once this ability is introduced in the comic (The Ninth Sense) I'm working on.
I will most likely create art about this later on....

Rose Arianna McGowan (born September 5, 1973) is an Italian-born American actress best known for her role as Paige Matthews in The WB TV series Charmed, and the cult film The Doom Generation. She has also appeared in several major Hollywood films, with leading roles in Jawbreaker and the Quentin Tarantino/Robert Rodriguez double-feature Grindhouse, and a supporting role in Scream. McGowan was until recently the co-host of TCM's film-series program, The Essentials; in the most recent season, Alec Baldwin has replaced her as co-host.
McGowan, the second-eldest of six children (plus two half-siblings), was born in Florence, Italy, the daughter of Terri, an American writer of French descent, and Daniel McGowan, an artist of Irish descent. Daniel McGowan ran an Italian chapter of the Children of God to which both he and his wife held membership until 1978. McGowan spent her early childhood amid the group's communes, often traveling Europe with her parents. Through her father's art contacts in Italy, McGowan became a child model and appeared in Vogue Bambini and various other Italian magazines. Her parents returned to the United States when she was 10, when they divorced. She subsequently relocated to Oregon and then to Gig Harbor, Washington, where she also met childhood friend Rey-Phillip Santos. McGowan did not speak English until she moved to the U.S.
McGowan's formative years were spent with her father in Seattle, Washington, attending Roosevelt High School and Nova Alternative High School. At the age of 15, she officially emancipated herself from her parents. McGowan pursued a possible career in the film industry during her late teens, and also enrolled in a beauty school as a back-up.
