Please don't forget the documentary "The Rubber Room" (see info at http://www.rubberroommovie.com/). I've seen it and hope it gets more distribution so many others can see it, too. Among other things, it makes a great point that ADMINISTRATORS need to be accountable as well. Both in public schools (where teachers have some level of protection from Unions) and private schools (where teachers have no unions and no advocacy... this is especially important now in a bad economy when admissions are low and schools need to cut staff -- often unethically and unfairly). Lots of folks talk about how important it is to have great quality, dedicated teachers with proven success with students... but when such teachers can be replaced by those who are younger and less experienced for a much lower rate of pay, that "priority" often goes out the window. Tragic.
Can you think of any other profession where the more education you have, and the more experience you have, the LESS likely you are to be hired?
I hear you and I agree administration must be made accountable as well. I was moved to tears after watching the clips from "Waiting for Superman" because as a mother of three children who are in a great charter school it broke my heart to see how many children are not getting a great education like my children and who deserve it! This movie is a must see by EVERYONE because regardless of what anyone thinks we are all in this together and when it is all said and done we ALL will be affected by it! By the way, I will check out the title you suggested!

Just finished watching Education Nation on MSNBC and I get so frustrated when the blame game begins. I am a former teacher with a M.Ed. and familiar with a host of theories and practices but firmly believe that the problem with our system today needs to be solved holistically; the solution must involve administrators, teachers, students and last but not least PARENTS. This country has focused all its efforts on educating children only, it works for a lot of kids most of the time BUT not for all of the kids all of the time. Recent studies reveal that poverty has a negative effect on a child's brain development especially the part of the brain that is critical for problem solving and creativity. One study (ScienceDaily 12-6-08) also concluded that with proper training and intervention these deficits can be overcome. Education experts say parental involvement is essential for student success. But what if the parents were raised in poverty? They too could have developmental problems and may never have received proper training or intervention thus you have the blind leading the blind.
Charter schools succeed because the lottery process serves as a sorting machine. It sorts the students who have responsible, functional parents that are actively involved in their children's lives and willing to go through the lottery process from the students whose parents may not have the ability, skills or initiative to endure the process because they were raised in poverty and may have innate or acquired developmental issues that were never addressed properly. Charter schools claim success because they are different but really they are different because they are EXCLUSIVE. In many cases they exclude those children whose parents are not actively involved in their lives. Those kids are left to attend public schools yet they are often the ones who need the help most because their parents can not provide them with what they need. This is how the cycle of poverty and overcrowded, underachieving inner city schools continues and until we as a nation are willing to give parents living in poverty the support and skills they need, the cycle will not be broken, not by teacher accountability nor by Charter schools, not by innovative methods, nor by "super" teachers.
We need Public Adult Learning Centers in every community across this nation to educate, remediate and provide resources and ongoing support to help those parents who have innate or acquired deficiencies. A wise Chinese proverb rings true here, "The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago, the next best time is now." Instead of labeling individuals who lack these skills as abnormal and allowing them to drift in a sea of confusion on the ship of poverty and stagnation, our government could intervene and provide the neglected, disadvantaged or simply uninformed with the skills, expert advice and ongoing support they need to live a productive and joyful life. By participating in these classes an individual would become skilled and competent in managing their own life and family thus making them better neighbors, friends, employees, even if their income remains low. Parents would be better able to guide their own children and improve the quality of life for all their descendants therefore breaking the cycle of true poverty. It really does take a village. It's time to think outside the box and focus on educating parents too. "Why should society feel responsible only for the education of children, and not for the education of all adults of every age?" - Erich Fromm
I haven't seen any of these films yet, although I have heard about Superman and really want the opportunity to see it. I think Sir Ken Robinson in his TEDTalk called Bring on the Learning Revolution! explains the problem and solution maybe too broadly, but pretty succinctly. In a nutshell, we need to move from a manufacturing/industrial model of education (which is squashing students natural talents) to an agricultural/organic model (which is customized to the local circumstances and the people actually being taught). I am lucky to be part of a Montessori school that embraces this vision, but it takes an awful lot of time, energy and buy-in from all parties involved (parents, teachers, admin, students, community).
There is a great film with a positive spin on education reform that shows an amazing example of teaching and learning in a school system willing to take risks - World Peace and other 4th Grade Achievements (http://www.rosaliafilms.com/)

I've been working as a driver who handles airport transportation in Bergen County NJ for a month now and I've got to say that this has been one of the most lucrative jobs that I have ever had! I know that I shouldn't be too excited since it's just started but honestly I've never made so much money so quickly before. I've been driving for a living practically since I had my license. Everything from delivering pizza to subs to people, I've delivered nearly everything including packages on my bike! I love this work and the amount of experience I have tells me that this is something special.
When you're making as much money as I am, it's easy to want to spend it. I know that I can't! There's just no telling how long that this sort of money is going to continue coming in so I'm doing everything that is necessary to put the money back, invest it or stuff it into my mattress while living as slim as possible. This is the sort of cash flow that will help me build up a retirement fund as long as it keeps stacking up for the next couple of years.
I really don't like to think about losing this sort of cash. It's rare to come across a deal of this calibre when you're not well educated. I don't have a bachelor's degree which means that I am subject to making far less than someone who does. I'm generally okay with that but I've come to realize that I have to save my money more conservatively while also making plans for that money. It's not a bad way to live and you make enough to live comfortably if you choose a lifestyle that is in harmony with the amount of money you make.Check It Out

HoopsHype Donald Sterling rumors
If the gentleman from Kentucky and this league insider are correct, the NBA not only wants to return to a lucrative market, whose absence is costing it significant money, but is seriously considering expansion as an alternative to do so. Three things need to happen before this can come to fruition: Seattle must get the proposed SoDo arena to a shovel-ready condition, the situation with the Clippers must be resolved, and the new TV deal must be inked with sufficient extra revenue to warrant expansion. Sonics Rising
Testimony in the weeks-long probate trial between Donald Sterling and his estranged wife, Shelly, concluded Wednesday, with closing arguments set for Monday in a case that could help lead to resolution of Shelly's impending $2 billion sale of their Los Angeles Clippers to former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer. Donald's side finished presenting its case and did not, as expected, recall Shelly to the stand. USA Today Sports
Instead, Dr. Jeffrey Cummings, an expert on Alzheimer's and dementia, testified on behalf of Donald that he believes the mental evaluations of Donald conducted by two doctors hired by Shelly were improperly done because Shelly was in the room at the time. "I understand there's a stress between Mr. Sterling and Mrs. Sterling," Cummings testified. "The optimal examination would be conducted with no distractions so that the person being examined could, would be able to concentrate fully on the task at hand. USA Today Sports
Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling has filed a new lawsuit in his attempt to retain the team and derail a potential $2 billion sale. The lawsuit filed Tuesday in Los Angeles County Superior Court names estranged wife Shelly Sterling, the NBA and Commissioner Adam Silver, saying they committed fraud and violated corporate law in their attempt to sell the team to former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer. USA Today Sports
Arash Markazi: Donald Sterling has filed another lawsuit in Superior court today against Shelly and NBA. His attorney said a ruling may not come for years. Twitter @ArashMarkazi
Ramona Shelburne: Clippers CEO Dick Parsons says that Doc Rivers has told him, 'If Mr. Sterling continues to own the team, he doesn't think he wants to continue as coach" Twitter @ramonashelburne
Arash Markazi: Parsons said if Sterling is still owner, "We may lose coaches, including the head coach, and we could lose players." Twitter @ArashMarkazi
Arash Markazi: Parsons said he would try to convince Doc and the players to go through with this season if Sterling remained owner. He emphasized "try." Twitter @ArashMarkazi
Ramona Shelburne: Parsons says in meetings w/ Clippers sponsors, he's heard "We're in so long as Donald Sterling is out" so he thinks there's substantial risk Twitter @ramonashelburne

Donald Sterling's combative, rambling proclamations on the witness stand — and his vulgar outburst off the stand — have drawn the most attention here in the probate trial that could determine whether his wife, Shelly, can go through with her proposed $2 billion sale of the Los Angeles Clippers to former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer. But Shelly and her lawyers continue to build momentum in the case. The trial was in recess last week because of scheduling conflicts with the judge and the lawyers. USA Today Sports
ESPY Awards host Drake delivered a hilarious monologue to start the show, in which he jokingly acknowledged being a bandwagon fan and blew air in Lance Stephenson's ear. At one point, Drake took a shot at Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling, and Blake Griffin's reaction was priceless. Drake noted that the audience was just a few hundred yards from the Staples Center, which is "as close as Donald Sterling is allowed to get." The camera immediately cut to Griffin in the audience, who tried to stifle a laugh. For The Win
As troubling as that might be in terms of public perception, given Sterling's racially bigoted comments back in April, and as incendiary as that could become as an issue with the NBA's players, Silver said the methodical pace of the probate trial in Los Angeles between the Sterlings could further delay the Clippers sale to former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer. "No, I cannot say it with certainty, and I cannot say it with certainty because it's in the hands of the probate court," Silver said. "I can say with certainty, we are doing everything in our power to move Donald out as an owner in the NBA. If the probate ruling doesn't go in our favor, we'll recommence our procedures under termination." NBA.com
For coach and team president Doc Rivers, that's a bit of a hassle. He is not officially able to sit down and work out details with Ballmer, but said he has "accidentally" run into Ballmer a few times. "(A meeting is) not really allowed," Rivers said here Monday as NBA Summer League play continued. "Bump-ins like today, I don't know how that happened — things like that. It's good, I look forward to that. It has hurt us some this summer. You go in to talk to a free agent and most guys, teams will bring their owner. I go in, looking like this, by myself. I don't know what effect that has had but that's not been great for us." Sporting News
David Shields' 1999 book Black Planet follows Shields as he covers the 1994-1995 Seattle Supersonics and attempts to address the "white guilt and white voyeurism and white homosexual panic" pervasive in the team's coverage. It's regarded as one of the best basketball books ever written—and it's now one of James Franco's next film projects. Shields, Franco, and co-writer Michael Logan have adapted Black Planet for the screen. After its release in 1999, the New York Times called it a "risky and brilliant" look at the struggle to have a real conversation about race in pro sports. Now, after the Donald Sterling controversy, Shields and Franco think it has new life. Esquire
Shelly Sterling attended to many details in her rush to sell the Clippers before the NBA would seize the team, but was unaware of the 11th-hour maneuver to push aside her husband and team co-owner, Donald, she told a Los Angeles court Thursday. Sterling said it was only after the deal was nearly sealed her lawyers told her they had obtained doctors' reports on Donald's mental incapacity and she could use the reports to remove him from the family trust that controlled the team.

To the Editor: Put Dr. Sheffield on administrative leave
While the departure of Mrs. Sheffield is, in my opinion, a good thing, there is still time for her to do untold damage to the district.
A thorough review of her recommendations concerning the re-assignment of administrators has yet to be completed. Do we know her motivations for these recommendations? Were they based solely on performance, or were there other reasons? By leaving her in place until the end of April, we are allowing her to continue her questionable attacks on these administrators.
The Board of Education needs to do two things:
1) Put Mrs. Sheffield on administrative leave, thereby eliminating any further harm to the district.
2) Refrain from voting on any personnel policies until the new BOE takes over.
By removing Mrs. Sheffield from the equation and putting all personnel decisions on hold, the present members of the BOE will be acting with class and dignity by helping to alleviate some of the tension and mistrust that currently exists between the community, the district staff and the administration. I
t is time for all community stakeholders to come together and start the healing process for the sake of our children above all else.

6. Relationship between surface water and ground water
Between falling as precipitation and passing out of an area as stream-flow, water moves over (surface water) or through the ground (ground water). This is the typical relation between precipitation and river flow. The peculiarity of the Danube section of Danubian Lowland in the Gabčíkovo project section between Bratislava and Sap is that the Danube flows above the local terrain, on top of its own alluvial fan. This fan is made up of layered gravel and sand typical of piedmont situation, where a mountain stream enters the plain. The Devín gate at Bratislava, through its bedrock river bottom, acts as the mountain front. Immediately downstream the river gradient is relatively steep while downstream near Sap it is gentler and thereby thick layers of gravel and sand are deposited on the Neogene bedrock. This provide a highly permeable aquifer as much as 450 m thick near Gabčíkovo. As the river splits over its banks and shifts its position a low-angle alluvial cone is built on whose upper surface the Danube flows (as far as the Malý Danube to the north and the Mosoni Danube to the south) (Fig. 1.4 and 1.6, Chapter 1).
At all water stages the elevated river bed supplies the ground water, which flows partly towards the Malý Danube and Mosoni Danube and partly towards the system of drainage canals. The significance of this arrangement is also vital during the flood events. The effect of the bursting of the Danube banks and protective dikes is extreme inasmuch as there is no natural raised terrain or higher terraces to contain the escaping water flow, as it is the case in normal alluvial conditions. Because of the thick and highly permeable aquifer, there is also a secondary form of flooding. During high water levels in the Danube the ground water recharge is high and the ground water level is pushed upward to the ground surface. This leads to a flooding of the lower lying areas even at some distance from the river, a situation called inland water flooding.
6.1. Infiltration - recharge of ground water
Infiltration or exfiltration of the river water into the aquifer or from the aquifer into the river is conditioned by the hydraulic gradient between the river water and ground water. When the water level in the river is higher than the ground water level, water from river infiltrates into the aquifer. When the water level in the river is lower than the ground water level, water flows from aquifer (exfiltrate) into the river. If the water level in the river and ground water level equals, there is no water flow via the river bed. The relationship between the river water level and the ground water level is decisive for the water flow direction from the river or into the river, see Fig. 6.1.
The amount of water flow from or into a river (measured in m3/s per selected area or per unit area of river bed) depends on the following physical phenomenon:
The distribution of permeability of the river bed sediments and the thickness of the river bed sediments having this permeability is called clogging or colmatation of the river bed. If the river bed is not permeable, there is no water flow across the river bed. Colmatation means reduction of infiltration to some degree.
6.2. Gravel pits at Vojka
Gravel pits at Vojka illustrate typical examples of ground water relationship to the surface water in the river branches (Fig. 6.2). Water in the gravel pits - lakes - originates from ground water. At the upper part of the lakes ground water flows into the lake, then from the lake flows downstream, and at the lowest part of the lake it flows out and infiltrates again into the gravel aquifer. Ground water, and thus water in the lakes, originates from the water of river branches, reservoir and in some places also from the seepage canals (Fig. 6.3). Water in the lakes is therefore of ground water quality, and is continuously exchanged by fresh ground water. This water and area are suitable for recreational purposes.
6.3. Colmatation - clogging of the riverbed or reservoir bottom
Colmatation is an important phenomenon, which creates a more or less impermeable barrier between the river water and the water in an aquifer. The aquifer downstream from the granite threshold at Bratislava is recharged mainly by water from the Danube. If the Danube riverbed, river branch bed, or the bed of the reservoir or lake were to become clogged with fine sediments, for example, recharge would be impeded to some degree.
Colmatation is a process, and the most normally measured characteristic of colmatation are permeability and thickness of the river bed (river bottom) sediments. The permeability of the riverbed varies from the permeability values of the underlying aquifer, down to some low values depending on the permeability of the sediment just on the river bottom. The finer the river bottom sediments, the smaller the permeability. In the Danubian Lowland conditions no absolute colmatation exists, neither in the old dead river branches. The permeability of river bottoms vary in time, and is influenced mainly by the sedimentation - erosion processes and the morphological changes in the river bed. The protection of a sufficiently high permeability means keeping the river bed free of finer particles, such as mud. The sedimentation of fine particles - mud - is a function of water flow velocity. If flow velocity is at least higher than some 0.2 m/s for part of the year, the river bottom is usually free of mud and the permeability of the river bed is usually fairly high.
An example of such a situation is mentioned in the EC Working Group report [1]: "However, after discharging water into the side channels in the Slovakian flood plain from May 1993 onwards, the ground water levels have increased above those corresponding to pre-dam conditions. This demonstrates that a considerable recharge now takes place from the side channels. This has become possible because the running water has removed the fine material, previously clogging the bed of these river arms". And the report goes on to say: "?it is evident that a good hydraulic connection between the side river channels and the ground water system has been established. Thus, a substantial ground water recharge takes place from the river side channels resulting in up to 1.5 m increased ground water levels".
Colmatation is manifested by the difference between water levels in the reservoir and aquifer just under the reservoir bottom, or between water levels in river or river branches and aquifer. The difference between water levels in reservoir or, for example, the river arm and piesometer (observation well with short filter - screen) consists of one part characterising the flow line between the top and bottom of the colmatation zone, and of another part between the bottom of the colmatation zone and the entrance into the observation well. Thus, by recharging an aquifer from river or reservoir there exists always a water level difference (if there is no water level difference, there is no flow, no recharge). During aquifer recharge the water level in an observation well is below the water level in the river, river arm, or reservoir. Therefore, the main criterion of colmatation is not the water level difference, but the water recharge of the aquifer or the water infiltration rate via the river bottom. If the ground water level increases too much, because of high infiltration rate (low colmatation), the drainage canals carrying away the surplus infiltrated water should be constructed. Typical examples are the seepage canals bordering the reservoir and bypass canal (Fig. 6.4). A flow of water in the seepage canal is a sign of small or no colmatation.
In the case that the reservoir or river is draining an aquifer, clogging of the reservoir or river bottom does not really exist, because the small particles are, at least at some places, lifted upwards as point sources lifting or rising of sand.

When beginning to use solar energy, start small. Consider adding solar lights throughout your landscaping. You will save energy and help your planet. Solar powered garden lights can be found in almost any store that sells ordinary garden lights. They are very easy to install.
Maintain for Better Results
When you maintain it, your solar power set-up will last. You should inspect your equipment at least once a month, and wash the surface of the panels carefully. Have a professional inspect or clean your panels for you if you are not sure how to do it or need help with fixing minor issues. Don't assume that solar energy involves full-scale remodeling and ripping apart the roof. At the least, you'll need to replace outside illumination with lamps and lights that run on solar power. These charge from the sun all day and shine at night.
You should figure out how you can store energy after you get it made by the solar energy system you're using. Find a battery good enough to store power for a long time or stay connected to the grid to sell the power you produce and draw the power you need instead of storing it.
There may be grant or rebate options open to you that can reduce solar installation costs. It can be expensive to install solar energy systems, but there are ways to make it a bit cheaper. Look into state and federal rebates or grants that give people rewards for using renewable energy. They can lower costs dramatically. It may be possible to get tax deductions for your costs.
Many people don't realize that when you have a solar power system, you do not have to hook up to a power grid. You are an independent user of power, and you don't have to rely on your local power company. In addition, your monthly power bill will be gone, and you don't have to worry about installing power services whenever you move.
Pathway lighting is a great way to use solar energy. The lights power up all day and then brighten the path at night. This is a great way to get started using solar energy around your home. It may be wise to buy fewer solar panels, given the high cost. Have a professional perform an energy audit of the home you live in. Doing so allows you to carefully scrutinize your energy usage and identify areas for improvement. By making these changes, you may not need to install as many panels.
Solar Energy Regulations
Check the state and local regulations in your area before you go and install a solar energy system. Permits are required in many municipalities. The very last thing that you want to have happen is for your new solar panels to be removed for not following the laws.
Panels have to face the sun to draw power. Remember that the energy comes from the sun, so naturally you will want to put your panels in an area that gets ample sun exposure. Alter the angles of your solar energy system to optimize energy reception. As one season moves into another season, the amount and direction of sunlight will also change. Changing the angle on your solar panels lets you optimize them to catch the most energy, and be much more cost efficient.
Go ahead and check into solar energy now that you understand all the benefits it offers. When you use solar power, you save energy and money. You are also doing your part to reduce pollution and help us gain energy independence. These are excellent reasons for your consideration of a solar energy system in your home.

In a move aimed at preventing female infanticide and encourage education of girls, the State Government on Thursday said it would increase its assistance under its Girl Child Protection Scheme from Rs.22,200 to Rs.50,000.
Under the scheme, if parents having one girl child opted for family planning operation, Rs.50,000 (earlier Rs.22,200) would be deposited in the child's name. If family planning was chosen after having two children, the assistance will be Rs.25,000 to each child (earlier it was Rs.15,200).
The government also said it would remove the annual ceiling on the number of beneficiaries under its scheme to provide marriage assistance to differently-abled persons. It would provide loans up to Rs.15 lakh with 25 per cent subsidy to self-help groups which are ready to undertake income generating activities for transgenders.
For minorities, the government had a few proposals. The State Wakf Board would now get Rs.1 crore instead of Rs.45 lakh as grant, while the number of ulemas availing of pension would be increased from 2,400 to 2,600. Their monthly pension would go up from Rs.750 to Rs.1000.
It said the functioning of welfare boards for various kinds of unorganised workers would be revamped to improve their performance.
Pension for journalists will be increased from Rs.5,000 to Rs.6,000 and their family pension from Rs.2,500 to Rs.3,000 per month. The government will also construct a Media Centre in the new building of the Madras Reporters' Guild at the Omandurar Government Estate at a cost of Rs.50 lakh.

The 'Twilight'-'24' Connection
by Moviefone Staff, posted Nov 16th 2011 7:00PM
At Bella and Edward's wedding in 'Breaking Dawn Part 1,' Bella's dad, Charlie Swan (Billy Burke), makes a somewhat-threatening toast, where he mentions he's very good at hunting people down -- if necessary. Edward, heed those words! Long before Burke played Kristen Stewart's loving dad and small-town sheriff in the 'Twilight' franchise, he was on the other side of the law as a brutal wife-murderer in '24.' As for Bella's doting mom, Renee (Sarah Clarke)? She was only Jack Bauer's most deadly nemesis.

Will SaaS make you more efficient?
SaaS might give you more availability, it might cut your capital costs, and it might give you a big empty server room in your basement where you can play ping pong after work, but will it make your business more efficient? That's the question IT Support Manager Geoff Stone asked himself when DORMA UK decided that it would adopt …
SaS has its place..... a small one.
"Will SaaS make you more efficient?"
Only if you don't lose your Internet connection. If you do...you're screwed.
What if?
"Only if you don't lose your Internet connection. If you do...you're screwed".
If we all thought like that there wouldn't be aircraft, ships, cars etc. etc. What if............
The majority of SaaS providers will have more secure and resilient environments than most organisations. Obviously this (and other criteria) needs to be checked thoroughly before committing to any SaaS provider.

A Macy woman has been given 37 months in a federal prison for driving her vehicle into her sister.
A news release from the office of U.S. Attorney Deborah Gilg says 32-year-old Nicole Payer was sentenced on Monday. Payer was convicted of assault resulting in serious injuries. She also must pay restitution of more than $53,000.
Gilg's office says Payer was driving her sister and another person to Walthill on the Omaha Indian Reservation in November last year when an argument erupted. Payer stopped the sport utility vehicle and ordered her sister to get out.
Authorities say that as the sister and the other passenger walked away, Payer drove over the curb, onto a sidewalk and struck her sister. The woman suffered a broken leg that required surgery.

New Yorkers drink seven times as much coffee as the rest of us
New Yorkers really love their coffee: They drink 6.7 times as much as do people who live in other major cities. Philadelphians, however, look to be especially partial to pretzels, eating about five times as many as those who live elsewhere, according to the number crunchers at health-care start-up Massive Health. Here's part of a much larger infographic comparing how people in various cities differ in what they eat:
The data comes from Massive Health's iPhone app, Eatery, which had users snap 7.68 million pictures of everything they ate over the course of five months. The crowd-sourced data looks to be a reliable snapshot of how people eat: Their data on food consumption for each American city, for example, predict its obesity level. Individual users' habits lined up with scientific research. They saw that those who eat breakfast tend to eat smaller portion sizes throughout the day, just as many previous studies have found.
In Massive Health's global rankings, New York came in as the healthiest eaters in the United States. Click through for the full graphic, which shows how cities around the world - including Tokyo, Copenhagen and Sao Paulo - stack up.
