Spring has finally arrived. Depending on your interests and activities, spring will reveal its wonders in many different ways. For the nature lover and gardener, you may notice the buds on the trees and the arrival of crocuses. For a child, the chance to run outside without a heavy jacket is a treat. For a commuter into the city, it may mean less hassle getting to the train station. For a sailor, spring is a start of a new sailing season, and a time to get over to the sailors "community center," the boatyard, and get some work done preparing your boat. There is something so very special about a boatyard in spring. Maybe it's the anticipation of exploring far-away ports, or finally crossing the finish line first, or improving last year's race performance that energizes sailors to jump with gusto into their long "to do" lists. Maybe it's spending some time talking to the boat owner next to you. Whatever it is, the boat yards are a bevy of activity, with sights and sounds that bring a smile and lighten the heart. But for all, sailor and non-sailor alike, spring is a renewal, a season of hope, a time when those unfulfilled dreams just might take shape. So celebrate this wonderful time of the year. After our long and cold winter, Mother Nature is finally rewarding us for our patience, and Manhasset Bay and our local ponds are beckoning us to their shores. There's no better place to spend some quiet moments being thankful for the beautiful waterscapes that fill our special corner of the world.
Anyone familiar with the sailing scene knows about Ellen MacArthur, that extraordinary sailor who is the holder of the new solo round the world record. But what comes as a surprise it the media coverage she is getting. Sailing seems to be the step-child of other sports, such a golf, basketball, baseball. Take for example, The New York Times and Newsday. There is hardly a word about sailing in either of the sports reporting. It took a female to change all that - at least for the time being. When MacArthur returned home to England, she was on the front page of every national newspaper and several of the top ones ran a 10-page spread on her achievements - a level of coverage usually associated with a general election or a royal wedding. And even in the United States, notorious for not reporting on the sailing scene, NBC and ABC had footage on her and Time magazine has named her on of the top 100 Most Influential People in the World for 2005, a list recognizing "global icons whose achievements, accomplishments and innovations are having the greatest impact in 2005." She's right there along with Nelson Mandela, Oprah Winfrey, Rupert Murdoch, Michael Moore, The Dalai Lama, and the President. This is great news for sailing as it may (emphasis on may) bring more media to our sport, and that would be a good thing. To make it an even better story, there are reports that this new-found celebrity status hasn't changed MacArthur one bit, except that she now carries a black magic marker to give autographs to fans. Given the option to make a lot of money, MacArthur said, "it's not about the money, it is absolutely not about that. Nobody goes out and does this because they want to come home a celebrity. You do it because you love the sea." With all that's happening in the world today, MacArthur is a great role model for sailing, and life in general, and it's nice that the media are picking up on such an inspiring story.
For those of you who have some extra time on your hands and like to volunteer, there is a wonderful opportunity to get involved with the America's Cup. The organizers of the 32nd America's Cup have created the Spanish-based Fundacion 32 to administer and run a volunteer program. Their duties will be to recruit, develop and cater to the needs of the estimated 250 volunteers that are need in each venue in 2005, all those races that are leading up to the Cup in 2007. Volunteers are needed to help operations on-the-water and ashore. There are nearly 50 different roles available in 2005. If accepted, you will be part of a training program and will receive general information on the event and the organization, plus a technical training delivered by your manager. The organization is looking for people with specific skills, such as race committee experience, sailing licenses, and knowledge of navigation instruments, students or others with experience with hospitality, communication, marketing and IT, and people willing to welcome, inform and take care of the public and guests. Remember this is a volunteer position, so don't quit your day job. But if you would like to join the excitement of the America's Cup, and be a part of the whole scene, fill out an application that is available on www.americascup.com/
The frostbiters should hang their heads in shame. How could any of them say they were "frostbiting" last Sunday on April 10 when the temperature was above 70° and the sun was bright in a cloudless sky? Race Committee could only get in three races and a crew race before they had to call it a day because the wind was so light. No one seemed to complain as they sailed their boats to shore, packed up their boats, and headed for the patio of the yacht club for some libation. Top boats for the day: 1. #514, Ted Toombs/Matt Cornachio, 2. #278, Claes Larsson/ Peter Varney, and a tie for third place, #511, Stephanie Baas/Dana Schnipper, and #007, John Silbersack/Catryn Silbersack.
Next week, Sunday, April 17, is the last week of regular sailing for the frostbite group. The following Saturday, April 23 is the Long Distance Race and picnic, with a rain date the following day.
Correction: Dave Perry will be at the Manhasset Bay YC tonight at 8 p.m. to speak on "The New Rules and How to apply them with winning Tactics." Call 767-2150 to reserve a spot.

Boss. And the drop rate is terrible.
Edit: I think people misunderstood. By terrible, I meant terribly low. No need to get your panties in a bunch, kids.
Jan 13 13
So is it worth it to psok it and sell it?
Jan 13 13
Are you annoyed at how many you might have to kill in order to gain even 1 measly Nova/Heliseum equipment?
Get over yourself.
These equipments don't have a low drop rate for nothing. They are relatively good equipment and it 'makes sense' that the drop rate is low.
If you're getting frustrated over how 'bad' its drop rate is, then quit Maple and experience life more. Don't just expect to make a billion from a night's work.

How Barack Obama and Thomas Jefferson Ruined Independence Day
Was your 4th of July "Lemon, wet, good," like Mitt Romney's lemonade? If so, you're lucky, because for many conservative activists the day was Obama, Muslim, bad.
This time, the freakout was precipitated by Barack Obama's promotion of the DREAM Act before an audience of newly naturalized Americans. The outrage is best summed up on Twitchy, a site named for the seizure-like reaction readers experience when spending more than five minutes on the Michelle Malkin-led Twitter aggregator…
Is there anything President Obama doesn't have the self-serving gall to politicize? The president decided that today's naturalization ceremony for immigrants serving in the United States military was a sweet opportunity to talk up a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants…
The country Obama loves is one where the president welcomes new citizens by forcing them to hear about amnesty on the very day they take the oath of citizenship. What a disgrace.
You know who else used July 4th (or actually, the 2nd) to politicize immigration? The guys who wrote and signed the Declaration of Independence…
He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.
How dare Thomas Jefferson politicize the Declaration of Independence with a mention of opening American borders to more immigrants? Where is his birth certificate? Is he even a Christian? He was a what? What the hell is a deist?
Shouldn't the Founders have had the foresight to know that the appropriators of their political legacy would one day be very keen on being pro-Jesus, but only one Jesus damnit, because the other Jesuses can go back to Mexico? How inconsiderate of them.

Mitt Romney Opens Mouth, Says Words About Immigration
This is what we've been waiting for all day — Mitt Romney's response to the president's pledge to stop deporting young illegal immigrants. He's had time to think it over and come up with a clear, coherent position on this issue. Wait for it…
"I believe the status of young people who come here through no fault of their own is an important matter to be considered, and it should be resolved on a long-term basis."
Fascinating. Go on…
"…I think the action that the president took today makes it more difficult to reach that longterm solution because an executive order is, of course, just a short term matter. It could be reversed by some president."
Just what I thought: Mitt Romney opposes the president's executive order and would reverse it as president…
Romney did not respond to questions as to whether he would reverse the order if elected.
Ah. I forgot for a second it was Mitt Romney talking.

Marco Rubio Continues to Confuse Liberals
For a while there, disliking Marco Rubio seemed pretty cut-and-dry for liberals. Admittedly he's young and handsome, but when those qualities belong to a Republican, progressives just get scared. (It's the same reason Democrats sighed with relief when Herman Cain bowed out.) Plus there was that weird thing when he lied about when his parents emigrated to the U.S.
But Rubio insists on throwing a wrench into our carefully maintained right-left dichotomy by having nuanced views on immigration…
"Today's announcement [that Obama will not deport young alien residents] will be welcome news for many of these kids desperate for an answer, but it is a short term answer to a long term problem," the Cuban-American Rubio said in a statement.
There you have it, folks. Marco Rubio's a liberal now; he supports Obama's plan. Just as long as he doesn't say anything to confound the issue further…
[Rubio continued,] "And by once again ignoring the Constitution and going around Congress, this short term policy will make it harder to find a balanced and responsible long term one."
Marco, you're making America short-circuit. Look, why not just say whether you think flag-burning should be legal, or whether you like Wal-Mart? We can draw all the conclusions we need from that.

Barack Obama Gets Angrier Than He's Ever Been!
Just listen to how he ferociously silences this Daily Caller reporter who dares interrupt him during his speech on immigration reform…
"The next time I prefer you let me finish my statements before you ask a question," Obama said.
I'm sorry. I should have warned you that it would be disturbing.

Mitt Romney Not Saying Much About Immigrants
In a surprising break from his typical candor and forthrightness, Mitt Romney hasn't yet addressed the president's refusal to deport young immigrants who came to the U.S. illegally. He doesn't do much talking about that topic at all, actually…
Since clinching the Republican nomination, Romney has steadfastly avoided the topic of immigration, only discussing economic issues at forums with Hispanic businessmen. The issue is considered a potential liability for the Republican candidate, who has previously said that he would not support the Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act…
Oh, right. He wants to be president. But does he want it badly enough to compromise on the principles he claims to hold dear?
That's not the Mitt Romney I know.

Using tr and dos2unix
The tr tool is a real wizard. This simple command lets you replace strings in text files. Whether you are replacing letters or just removing whitespace, you will be amazed at tr's versatility.
The tr command replaces characters
in text files. The command
reads the standard input and
sends the results to standard output. But
of course, you can use the familiar operators
to redirect both streams. In fact, tr
really shines in combination with other
shell commands.
Simple Replacements
The tr command expects two strings as
arguments and replaces all the occurrences
of the first argument in a text
with the second argument. This may
sound complicated, but let's look at a
simple example. The following command
replaces the "e"s in "Petronella"
with "a"s:

Springfield Town Manager to retireBy Susan Smallheer
Staff Writer | April 29,2014Susan Smallheer / Staff Photo
Robert ForguitesSPRINGFIELD – Town Manager Robert Forguites announced his retirement late Monday night at the conclusion of a Select Board meeting.
Forguites, 75, said he would stay full time until the end of September, and then work for a smooth transition until the end of December and schedule "a graceful exit."
Forguites has been town manager for 16 years, and before that, served the town four years as comptroller after a career with a variety of Vermont banks. A native of Brandon, he has lived in Springfield since 1978. He is one of the longest serving town managers in Springfield, and he said, "one of the oldest."
Quoting from Lewis Carroll's "Through the Looking Glass," Forguites said "'The time has come,' the Walrus said, 'to talk of many things: Of shoes, and ships, and sealing wax, of cabbages and kings.'"
"Now, I am neither a walrus nor a carpenter," Forguites told the board. "I am neither a cabbage nor a king. However, I do need to talk about something," he said, said he needed to "end some speculation, and I'm sure you have heard the speculation."
"I know that I must be fair to the town of Springfield. The town has been good to me and to my wife and has given a good education to our son. I also know that I must be fair to myself," said Forguites. "Therefore, I intend to head down the road to retirement."
Forguites, whose wife Barbara died a few years ago, said there were many projects at their North Springfield home – "so that will be my retirement project."
"And, who knows, I might want to quote Nancy Kerrigan after she won one of her skating titles and say, "I'm going to Disney World!"
After his announcement, there was stunned silence, and his secretary Donna Hall wiped tears from her eyes. Finally board members spoke one by one and thanked Forguites for his long service and dedication.
"People have told me 'You'll know when it is time,' and I know it is now time to start the process," Forguites said.
Thomas Kennedy, executive director of the Southern Windsor County Regional Planning Commission, who was at the meeting to discuss several issues, praised Forguites' professionalism and kindness.
He said in his 25 years with the regional planning commission, he had never worked with anyone "with the integrity of Bob Forguites."
They have worked very closely on many issues, Kennedy said. "He's no longer Bob Forguites, he's my friend. You'll never get another town manager like Bob."
Afterward, Forguites told reporters that he had almost retired last fall, and then during the budget process, before convincing himself to stay through another budget session and March Town Meeting.
He said his proudest accomplishment was a uninterrupted string of town budget victories and bond votes since he became manager.
Forguites was appointed interim town manager in May 1998, and had initially declined the permanent job, but in July 1998, he was named to the job permanently.
"I know it's time," he said.
Chairman Kristi Morris said he wasn't surprised at Forguites' decision, and said he had talked to him in recent months about his pending decision.
"He gave us until September and we'll have to figure out what to do," said Morris.MORE IN This Just InVermont hazardous-materials team members were at the Asa Bloomer state office building in... Full StoryHoliday Festival Full StorySpeed blamed Full Story

- Pros
- Nothing
- Cons
- drums get dirty always, cartridges leak, poor colour quality after a time, not being able to finish toners
- • • •
We have three(plus one was replaced) of these printers in the office. One we have had no problems with. The other two we have had several problems. It is worth noting we have only ever used genuine toners in the printer.
1) Drums continually get dirty (sometimes every week it would need a clean) and are almost impossible to clean completely without spending hours on it. Note we would print on average 10 pages per day.
2) I have had two cartridges (genuine product) leak toner and it has been a big effort to get them replaced.
3) I have had to replace one printer as it broke and it was cheaper to replace the unit at $500 than get it fixed
4) The printing on one printer has been really good. On the other two very poor. One we had to have something replaced when it was first purchased as it was not printing reds properly. The other one has had very poor colours after about 6 months, even though toners were full.
5) My pet hate on all brother printers is that the machine tells you when the toner is empty, even though there is plenty of toner left. I broke one open to see how much was left and no joke there was almost half the toner left in it, except the machine would not let it be used any more.
While one of these printers we have had basically no problems with, the other two have been nothing but trouble. I am currently looking for a new printer, never again with this one!

Quote:Mayor Mike Rawlings has declared a state of emergency in Dallas over the spread of West Nile virus. He also requested that Dallas County and the state provide aerial pesticide spraying in the city to control mosquitoes that spread the virus.
The virus has claimed 10 lives in Dallas County. Five of those were Dallas residents. Many of those who died were in frail health and had underlying medical conditions.
"I think this is the right thing to do. I cannot have any more deaths on my conscience because we didn't take action," Rawlings said.
and so it begins...
so let's poison everybody because frail, sick people might succumb to a virus
"it's the right thing to do"
yeah, that makes sense
Thus saith the LORD, In this thou shalt know that I am the LORD: behold, I will smite with the rod that is in mine hand upon the waters which are in the river, and they shall be turned to blood.

From the article:
Some of you get paid to speak; others hope to get paid one day. One thing that we all face as paid speakers is the issue of payment vs. exposure. That is, we will be invited to speak pro bono, or will be offered less than our usual rate, and we'll have to decide if it's worth it to take less money in order to get exposure or visibility…only a few of my pro bono speaking engagements have paid off in clients or future speaking engagements.

Nice picture! I especially like that single drop of water on the tulip.
Shabbat Shalom!
Stunning photo…
Beautiful picture!!! Love the Orange and DOF(Depth of Field)!
Intresting!!! new word for me hehe… I am not even close to pro… I my 3 yr old kodak 5mp point and shoot with 10x optical in manual modes most of time… One simple rule to get DOF is lower F stop. Here is a very interesting tutorial for the same
But here is my easy to understand guide
1) its good to get close but its better to keep little more distance and zoom in(optical zoom)
2) lock the focus by pressing shutter half and
3) click done
P.S one should always check their camera's specs for macro mode distance
Great shot and I like the "bokeh" there too!
Shabbat Shalom from someone who should really be in her kitchen.
With respect to the speaking engagements, that's why its important to have an agent! Of course, I don't have one …
if you could taste that tulip… it would be orange sherbet!
Beautiful. Such a unique color–like a sunset. And beautifully photographed.
What a gorgeous shot of the tulip and what an awesome color!
Wow..that drop on the tulip is amazing..Great macro Leora..

Tech schemes vie for massive EU funding
Summary: The finalists in the FET Flagship scheme represent emerging technologies ranging from a Living Earth Platform to friendly robots, and the final two will get up to a billion euros each for a 10-year research run
1 of 6Image
Six emerging technology projects have been selected to compete for millions of euros in European funding, aimed at using technology to solve social problems.
The six finalists in the FET Flagship scheme were announced on Wednesday at the FET11 future and emerging technologies (FET) conference in Budapest. Each will receive €1.5m (£1.35m) in European Commission funding to refine their proposals over the next year, after which the two winning projects will be announced. Those two projects will each get an annual budget of up to €100m for a 10-year period.
"The finalists announced today will plant the seeds for tomorrow's innovation," digital agenda commissioner Neelie Kroes said in a statement. "Europe hosts some of the world's leading researchers in the fascinating and highly inspiring area of future and emerging technologies. By joining forces to address grand challenges, European, national and regional funding can lead to innovations that will tackle problems like neuro-degenerative diseases and climate change."
One of the six finalists is a project researching graphene and what this substance could mean for future electronics. According to Sweden's Chalmers University of Technology, which is running the project, a graphene Flagship project could provide a major boost for Europe's microelectronics industry.
Graphene is made from single layers of carbon atoms that, on an atomic level, has the appearance of chicken wire. Although it is only starting to become understood, many see graphene as a way of breaking past the limitations of silicon and moving onto the level of quantum computing. The technology may lead to flexible and very fast electronic components.
The Swedish project would look at fabrication methods for cheaper graphene materials that, according to the Commission, "combine structural functions with embedded electronics, in an environmentally sustainable manner".

FuturICT project
University College London's Department of Mathematics is in the running with the FuturICT project, which aims to create a planetary-scale computer called a 'Living Earth Platform'.
The project's goal is both grand and abstract — a combination of ICT, social sciences and 'complexity science', it would provide new insights into the functioning of society and possibly the discovery of new laws of nature. Dynamic data sources such as crowd-sourced sensor information, digital media, social networks, blogs and public infrastructure would feed into a 'nervous system' of society, which would be used to analyse and manage complex events.
The Living Earth Platform could be used to predict natural disasters or manage and respond to man-made disasters that involve multiple countries or even continents. Societies could be modelled and areas for targeted technological development identified. Ultimately, the team hopes, the platform could lead to more sustainable living and better thought-out social and economic policies.

She has a pink and gold dressing room, loves shopping for vintage underwear and has made her own little corner of England in Hollywood - yep, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is a girl after our own hearts. And didn't she look ruddy gorgeous at the Golden Globes this weekend, swathed in a black Saint Laurent gown and accessoried with an 'Angelina Right Leg'? We say yes.
Today, in a new interview with The Telegraph, the lass from Devon with the most sumptuous of lips and glossiest of tresses opens up about being a Brit girl in LA, hiking in Hollywood and her latest film role alongside Charlize Theron. Read on for the best RHW soundbites...
On living in Hollywood
'My whole world there is English: all my friends. I live with an Englishman, we watch English TV. I was devastated when Radio 1 stopped broadcasting over there because that was our connection to England. I live five minutes away from my British stylist. There are a lot of Brits out there and a lot of roast dinners go on at the house.'
On hiking in Los Angeles
'I try not to call it hiking because it's really just walking along dirt paths. I remember when I was invited on my first LA "hike", I said, "I don't have any walking-boots with me," and they said I just needed flip-flops. I was like, "What kind of hike is that?" A hike to a Devon girl is walking up a cliff in boots!'
On filming Mad Max
'It was a lot of work. Making a film is very different from photo-shoots and a lot more is expected from you. But those moments that are fulfilling are like ecstasy - they're amazing. When you've had a great connection with somebody creatively. That's the "buzz" actors talk about. There's also a huge responsibility on leading actors, which I really saw on this film, being in the company of Tom Hardy, Charlize Theron and Nicholas Hoult. To be able to be on my second film with actors like that - you would be crazy not to just watch and learn.'
On her acting career
'I have no master plan, really. I learnt that early on in my career. I never thought that I would be here. If someone had told me at 14 that I would be a model aged 16 I would have laughed.'
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Jason Statham at the 2013 Golden Globe Awards
On being a collector of vintage underwear
'I don't collect knickers, and bras are hard to find, but I have a lot of slips and camisoles. British girls love a good vintage find. Before I was modelling that's what I could afford: I would go through charity shops to find things. I love how it tells a story. You look at these exquisite pieces like art and wonder where this was or who was in this 50, 60 years ago. It's very romantic.'
On her favourite piece, a long blush-pink nightslip
'I actually wore it to a friend's wedding a few years ago. Now it just hangs in my wardrobe and it's something really special that creates an atmosphere. I have a dressing-room where things hang all over the place. It's pink with gold mirrors - I'm very girlie. No boys allowed. Although I don't think boys would really want to go in there.'
On designing her M&S lingerie line
'It's been exciting and… really fulfilling. Much more than I thought. I've always wanted to design - that's actually why I got into modelling in the first place - but I love going up to the headquarters and being around Soozie Jenkinson [head of lingerie design at M&S] and learning, learning, learning.'
On creating a lingerie line of her own
'I love collaborating with people and getting into a creative mindset and imagining what other women want to wear and how they'll wear it. So I do see it in my future.'
On building 'Brand Rosie'
'Why dream small? I've always said never downsize your dreams. Humans are so multidimensional and if opportunities come my way I'll grab them. Especially in the entertainment industry or fashion or film when you never know when your last job is going to be. You're always on edge and grafting; it's a hustle every day. You make a smart choice, and I've certainly made some terrible ones - we all have - but you just make the best of the moment you are in. If your risks turn out to be a success, you are very, very lucky.'

l am a very concern grandfather an I just found out that my grandson is being made fun at the school. This Is His first year here and I had hope things Like this you would not see. It seems that there is female student doing it. Now school is out , but is the time to stop this kind of treatment. We send our children there to get an education. Everyday we hear about children coming school and just exploding and I don't want to see this going any further. What is this school really teaching if you have this type of behavior going on. You can bet the first day back to school I will there to address this issue and get some answers as to just what the school tends to do about it
My son is preparing to graduate from BLS 2014. He has had the most wonderful experience all four years! Baltimore Lutheran curriculum has prepared him for college. The students at BLS are respectful and generally kind and this says a lot in todays society. The sports teams don't always win every game but every child is encouraged to participate and will get the high school athletic experience some may not have received had they gone to a larger school. Baltimore Lutheran School has been a blessing to my family. We will continue to support their missions in the years to come.
Both of my children graduated from Baltimore Lutheran School within the past 5 years. My oldest child received a full scholarship to college and my youngest was accepted into the honors program with an academic scholarship, and was also accepted into an elite computer science group which is now working on a presentation for the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, D.C. I am thrilled with the education that was provided by Baltimore Lutheran School, I love how the spiritual teachings joined with our home and our church in helping them grow in their faith journey, and I love the family atmosphere and support that we experienced throughout the years. We are still active with the Baltimore Lutheran School Alumni Association, and we will forever be proud to be called Baltimore Lutheran School Saints.
My son was a transfer student from a highly rated public school. We needed to make a change for social and academic reasons. BLS offers students of all academic levels the opportunity to excel. The teachers are qualified and choose to teach in a supportive and caring environment. From an activities perspective, the eliticism found in many public schools is absent. If you have an interest there is a place for you. More importantly we have found the student body to be amazing. These are kids with character and tolerance who welcomed my junior who felt at home from his first visit on a shadow day. He has grown immensely because of the kind community. In this supportive environment he has stepped up to the high academic expectations. BLS also offers plenty of opportunities for parental involvement. If you are considering Baltimore Lutheran School ask for a parent reference and you will learn first hand how this environment helps kids flourish.
BLS is a fantastic school! Qualified, caring teachers. A wonderful Christian environment with an outstanding academic program. Many opportunities for extracurricular activities.
I have two daughters at BLS - one in middle the other in high. Both girls are very happy socially and doing well academically despite the challenging academics. We LOVE the culture at Lutheran - small school that is very focused on Christian values. They do not tolerate bullying and ugly behaviors that tend to surface with teenagers. They do much with the students despite the challenging economic times. My only criticism is that the school needs to enlist and encourage greater support and participation from parents and alumni as well as volunteers willing to assist the school in any way possible. Regardless, I do see BLS evolving in a positive way. I hope to award them 5 stars in the year(s) to come!
I currently have a child in the high school and a child in the middle school at BLS. My children are very different in the educational styles -- one needs assistance and one is an honor student. I feel very strongly that both students are getting exactly what they need educationally. The class sizes are small and that serves my students well! The staff is available for parents and students alike. The school is focused on it's mission statement and Christian values are the utmost.
From a parents standpoint, this school could be much better. I would love it if they would survey the families for input like other schools. To me, this shows a lack of regard for our opinions as a customers. Areas that need improvement are athletics and teacher websites/Edline.
I have a middle school boy with mild learning disabilities. He is in the STAR program. We find that program to be lacking in its willingness to provide timely information to the student and parent regarding tests and homework. The school also has the wonderful EDLINE system - however hardly anyone uses it and in fact we've been told by some teachers that they refuse to use it. Athletic offerings for the middle school are difficult to get into unless you are an outstanding athlete. Also there are no A & B teams like most of the schools we play have even though parents have offered to coach. Communication between the administration and the families is sorely lacking and often results in much confusion. Questions to the administration seem to be unwanted. Social functions are minimal and do not compare to other local private school functions. Arts are minimal.
I'm a class of 2007 alumni, and I absolutely love BLS in retrospect. While it may not always have been perfect while I was there, I was shocked at how far ahead of other students I was when I began college. The values (both religious and academic) made the transition to the college academic world much smoother than it was for my public-school-educated peers. Classes that others found difficult I breezed through, thanks to what I was forced to learn during high school. Most of the teachers are wonderful. All are very unique, and often fun, characters. The school has always felt very safe to me, and (serious) rules are always stictly enforced. Illegal and inexcusable behavior will result in suspension or expulsion (I count at least 6 class members expelled though all four years), as will terminally failing grades, so irresponsible or dangerous behavior are seldom found on campus without punishment.
I am the parent of a high school girl and a middle school boy as well as my oldest son graduated from BLS in 2006. He is now in college as a junior and believes that BLS was the greatest move that he could have made as a senior, having went to another extremely college prep. private school. My daughter absolutely loves the school and it's challenges as well as my younger son who definately gives the teachers a run for their money. They are all very wonderful and caring, yet strict when they need to be. I would refer anyone looking for a great school and well rounded childhood upbringing to visit BLS. You won't be disappointed.
I am a parent of a middle school girl at BLS. My experience with BLS has been very positive, my daughter and I both love the christian environment and she especially loves chapel and the weekly bible verses. The teachers and staff are all friendly and very helful and caring. BLS is a very nurturing environment. BLS offers rigorous academics and extracurricular activities. So far BLS is the right place for my daughter.
I am the parent of a middle school boy at BLS. Our experience there has been positive in some ways and difficult in others. We like the smaller and Christian atmosphere. Most of the teachers are very interested in being helpful, although a few are bent on being strict task masters. While I understand that coddling isn't best advised, I feel it is important to recognize that you are dealing with middle schoolers and not adults. The academics are extremely rigorous and require loads of time at the expense of having what I feel is adequate free time to enjoy still being a kid. Although I want a challenge for my child, I want him to also have a life. It needs to be noted that family, worship and recreational time can be as important as academics. He doesn't need to be ready to enter college in the 8th grade.
Well, I am not a parent of a student who goes or went to Baltimore Lutheran. I am an alumni who graduated in June 2003. Lutheran provided me with the wisdom to further pursue my walk with Christ. The school gave me confidence and helped me to overcome the obstacles that life may throw our way. There are great extracurricular activities such as sports and 10 differnt club meetings held throughout the week. The teachers lead the club meetings in prayer and devotionals as well. Teachers are very encouraging and supportive of decisions made by students regarding personal problems and are always available to talk to a student.

1. Once you hit around 10% dodge and parry, Mastery becomes a tankadins best stat. Here is another thought parry and dodge suffer from the same deminishing returns. You get no mana back from parry you do from dodge thou.
2. Hit to cap, exp to soft cap in a normal world. The biggest thing right now is keeping yourself alive. Neither sould be gemmed/enchanted for at this stage in the game. Due to Vengeance you won't have threat issues raiding.

Contributing Editor
Hampton's Idol has been
crowned and will perform at the city's annual Christmas parade
and after-party, dubbed "Christ-mas at Home," on Thursday,
December 6, beginning at 7 p.m.
Finalists Angela Newton
and Kym Johnson were selected from a pool of five semi-finalists
who auditioned for the first ever Hampton Idol competition. They
competed against each other during the city's annual tree
lighting, held on Thanksgiving night. Newton edged out the
competition with her country-inspired rendition of Go Tell (it
on the Mountain) winning the honor of performing in a special
concert, along with Hampton's Mount Zion Baptist Church Gospel
Choir, after the parade. She was also awarded a $250 cash prize.
Parade organizer said the
concert will come at the end of the parade, which will begin at
Hampton elementary school. Chris Moore will be master of
ceremonies and Santa Claus himself is the Grand Marshall. Santa
will have live reindeer with him and to make them feel at home
from the North Pole, Moore has arranged for two industrial snow
machines to help set the mood of Christmas.
"It's going to be a
magical night," he said.
He said 600 were in
attendance for the tree lighting and last year there were 5,000
people at the parade.
"This year, we'll be
happy with 5,001," laughed Moore.
He said several local
businesses will remain open for the evening, passing out hot
cocoa and cookies, and children will be able to get a photo with
Santa and his reindeer for a small fee. In addition to the
concert, a professional DJ will be spinning Christmas tunes.
There will be various floats and groups
marching in the parade and it's not too late to join the
festivities. He said everyone is welcome and may pass out
flyers, candy and other goodies. Those interested in being a
part of this year's Hampton Christmas Parade should be ready to
line up at Hampton Elementary School by 6:15 p.m. For more
information, contact Chris Moore at 678-758-0606.

Now that the season has shifted into fall, festivals will probably have a more low-key tone. The food won't be as deep-fried, the attendees will be wearing more than a wife-beater and tats, and you probably won't need an extra helping of sunscreen to make it through the day. But they're still pretty fun. Be sure to wear a smart, colorful coat and a warm favorite hat to the Fall Harvest Festival, where there will be a variety of activities as refreshing as the chilly air: family and kids' activities, games, and food to sample. Check out the many entertaining contests, including chili and baking cook-offs, a hot-pepper eating contest, and a dog costume contest. Guests can also enjoy live music by country artists the Johnson Twins, acoustic folk with Bethany Larson, and several others.

Geri Halliwell makes an entrance at the X Factor auditions!
If there was any doubt at all, all future X Factor attention must be on Geri Halliwell. She's the first new judge of the next series and she's going to make sure all eyes are on her!
Her attention-grabbing stunts have already started and it's only day one of auditions! She decided that the very best way to get everyone looking at her, rather than fellow judge Tulisa, was to climb out of a car window grab the tannoy and shout to fans of the show from the roof.
It probably would have been a lot easier had she rehearsed the stunt. Or thought to wear something other than a teeny lace dress an high heels.
We get it, Geri. We're paying attention.
It's unlikely that we'll be seeing Geri for the entire series. After Dannii Minogue pulled out of negotiations for her to rejoin the show (well, wouldn't you?!), the show's producers decided that a number of stand-in judges was the best option. We think that's TV talk for 'we can't find anyone who's free at such short notice'. Except Geri. Who was booed by the X Factor audience when she was on the judging panel in 2010.
So who else is in the line-up? Rumours include Robbie Williams making an appearance and maybe even Gwen Stefani. They probably won't have to climb through a car window to get attention.

Policies Get Smart
State and federal incentives push utilities to invest in grid intelligence.
Peaking plants are very inefficient—frequently less than 30 percent. Demand response can shift loads to shoulder periods that are served by more efficient facilities—such as natural gas-fired, combined-cycle plants that deliver about 40 percent efficiency and have lower carbon emissions per unit of energy supplied.
Additionally, carbon regulation is expected to lead to increased reliance on windpower and other variable power sources. The Olympic Peninsula Gridwise project determined the fast regulation capability of demand response, which ultimately could help ease the operational stress and expense of integrating variable energy resources.
The operational challenges associated with managing variable windpower already are apparent. In Texas, a nearly 1,000-MW shortfall in wind generation, compared to the day-ahead schedule, contributed to emergency measures ordered by ERCOT (see " What Happened in ERCOT ," Fortnightly, May 2008) . A study by General Electric for the state of Texas predicts that wind-induced power drops of as much as 2,400 MW in less than 30 minutes could happen at least once a year when Texas's wind capacity hits 15,000 MW.
Engaging Customers
Technology and regulatory incentives alone are not enough to ensure deployment of a smarter grid. For smart metering systems to deliver the desired benefits, consumers must be engaged and incentivized to participate. Their active participation in electricity markets brings tangible benefits to both the grid and customers, while reducing the cost of infrastructure investment and electricity delivery.
Recent demonstration projects validate the impact end users can have in helping utilities address some of the complexities that exist in today's operating environment. Demand-response case studies show that, when given the right incentive and controls, participants will respond to peak-period prices, reducing demand and saving money in the process.
One recent demonstration, led by the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, found that over the course of a year, end-users in Washington's Olympic Peninsula reduced peak energy demand by at least 15 percent and achieved 50-percent decreases for short periods of time (see " Demonstrating the Smart Grid ").
Not only did consumers consistently help flatten the load, they exercised complete control of their level of participation throughout the entire project. At the conclusion of the study, 95 percent of participants stated they would be likely, to very likely, to participate in a similar project if offered by their utilities.
The significance of the consumers in premise-based participation became apparent when the California Energy Commission faced backlash for a proposal to require installation of smart thermostats in new buildings. The proposed thermostats were designed to allow utilities to adjust customers' preset temperatures when the price of electricity began to rise. Customers had the ability to override the utilities' suggested temperatures—most of the time. In emergencies, the utilities could override customers' wishes. A large California building association and other groups fueled a public outcry that spread via the Internet and talk radio shows. As a result, the CEC dropped the proposal entirely from its 2008 building-efficiency standards.
Utilities seeking to deploy smart-grid technology and smart-tariff policies will need to present a strong case to regulators and customers that

Known previously by the codename "Project Kal-El," the Tegra 3 processor provides up to 3x the graphics performance of Tegra 2, and up to 61 percent lower power consumption. This translates into an industry-leading 12 hours of battery life for HD video playback.
The Tegra 3 processor implements a new, patent-pending technology known as Variable Symmetric Multiprocessing (vSMP). vSMP includes a fifth CPU "companion", specifically designed for work requiring little power. The four main cores are specifically designed for work requiring high performance, and generally consume less power than dual-core processors.
During tasks that require less power consumption – like listening to music, playing back video or updating background data – the Tegra 3 processor completely shuts down its four performance-tuned cores and, instead, uses its companion core. For high-performance tasks – like web browsing, multitasking and gaming – the Tegra 3 processor disables the companion.
"NVIDIA's fifth core is ingenious," said Nathan Brookwood, Research Fellow at Insight 64. "Tegra 3's vSMP technology extends the battery life of next-generation mobile devices by using less power when they're handling undemanding tasks and then ratcheting up performance when it's really needed."
The Tegra 3 quad-core CPUs are complemented with a new 12-core NVIDIA GeForce® GPU, which delivers more realism with dynamic lighting, physical effects and high resolution environments, plus support for 3D stereo, giving developers the means to bring the next generation ofmobile games to life.
For the millions who play games on mobile devices, the Tegra 3 processor provides an experience comparable to that of a game console. It offers full game-controller support, enabling consumers to play games on their tablet or super phone, or connect to big screen HDTVs for a truly immersive experience. It also leverages NVIDIA's award-winning 3D Vision technology and automatically converts OpenGL applications to stereo 3D, so consumers can experience 3D on a big screen 3D TV (via HDMI™ 1.4 technology).
The Tegra 3 processor provides the industry's…

An underage drinking party led to the assault of two police officers and the arrests of four residents of a Damascus home this weekend, authorities say.
Driver's insurance could cover injuries to dozens hit in Va. paradeComment
The mayor of Damascus, Va. says he expects the insurer of a man whose car hit dozens of hikers during a parade to cover the victims' medical costs. Police say the 87-year-old driver had a medical issue that caused him to lose control of his car on May 18.
Witnesses: Car drives into crowd at Va. paradeComment
Authorities believe the driver who plowed into dozens of hikers marching in a Virginia mountain town parade suffered from a medical condition and did not cause the crash intentionally, an emergency official said Sunday.

Sustainable Communities collaboration grant awards from prior years
The following two projects were awarded funds in July 2013, provided by the Binghamton University Road Map through the Provost's Office and the Division of Research with the goal of encouraging faculty to develop collaborative projects that stimulate the advancement of new ideas that can build Binghamton University's expertise toward a national reputation in the area of sustainable communities. This competitive, peer-reviewed program is providing initial support for proposed long-term programs of collaborative research that have strong potential to attract external funding.
- Healthy Multigenerational Families: Building the Knowledge Base for Grandparents Raising Grandchildren
Empirical data that informs policies and practices targeting health outcomes for custodial grandparents and academic and health outcomes for the grandchildren they are raising is limited. Typically formed following a life-altering crisis, grandparent-headed families have complex needs, shelter vulnerable children and represent a growing demographic nationwide. This project will develop and test the effectiveness of a transdisciplinary community-based model that will:
1) conduct a county-wide assessment of the range of needs of custodial grandparents and compare the findings with a national sample;
2) use the data to develop and implement a psychosocial and educational model of support for multigenerational families;
3) evaluate the model's effectiveness in Broome County, and generate data to support a grant for a national study; and
4) provide policy, practice and research recommendations for decision makers.
The evidence-based transdisciplinary model we will develop not only strengthens and sustains healthy, multigenerational communities today but also lays the foundation for strong communities for future generations. Furthermore, this study will provide a deeper understanding of the multifaceted needs of these families and present a cost-effective, evidence-based, transdisciplinary practice model. It will also provide transformative strategies which will inform a national policy agenda.

- Local Capacity, State Policy, and the Geology of Natural Gas Drilling
What makes a geographic area desirable for drilling is a combination of geological, infrastructure and government (both state and local) capacity. Therefore, identifying these areas cannot be accomplished without combining the perspectives of multiple disciplines and by using the various methods that these disciplines rely upon. We seek to develop a proposal for external funding to study how municipalities in states that currently permit hydraulic fracturing of the Marcellus shale differ in terms of their capacity to either encourage or restrict drilling. By investigating state regulations, local government capacity, the existing infrastructure and their relation to geological sweet spots, we will be able to group municipalities into one of four categories, those that:
1) lack the capacity to restrict drilling;
2) lack the capacity to encourage drilling;
3) have the capacity to restrict drilling; and
4) have the capacity to encourage drilling. We will then be able to explore the concept of what constitutes a "sustainable community" within these categories.
