Ohio is unique in its ability to turn the best of charter school theory and practice on its head. The most recent example comes from an Ohio school district that set up a charter school to offload test scores of low-performing students while making money for the district. According to the Columbus Dispatch the London City School District "will collect 80 percent of the $1.9 million in state dollars the charter will draw this year as payment for its services. It expects $700,000 of that to be profit." The treasurer for both the charter school and the district told the paper that "district officials plan to continue the 'revenue sharing' method" despite the fact the school received an academic rating of F on its 2010-11 report card.
Today the Center on Reinventing Public Education (CRPE) released its annual look at the state of charter schooling in the United States – Hopes, Fears, & Reality: A Balanced Look at American Charter Schools in 2011. The theme of this year's report is charter-district collaboration. For most of the 20-year history of charters in America, relations between school districts and charter upstarts were frosty at best and downright hostile at times. Or, as CRPE's Robin Lake writes, "Districts were known to call the local fire marshal to make sure new charter schools could not get their fire permits approved in time to open...
Ohio has gotten a lot of feedback on our education system in the past few weeks. On January 10, the U.S. Department of Education released a progress report detailing the Buckeye state's accomplishments and challenges with Race to the Top funds. (Here is Fordham's take on the report.) On January 12, Education Week released the national report card Quality Counts 2012: The Global Challenge –Education in a Competitive World.
Each year, Education Week chooses a theme that serves as the underlying message of the report, this year's being "American Education from a Global Perspective." The report "takes a critical look at the nation's place among the world's public education systems, with an eye toward providing policymakers with perspective on the extent to which high-profile international assessments can provide valid comparisons and lessons." States are graded on the following 6 criteria:
1. Chance for Success: Looks at the broader educational environment: from family income and parent English proficiency to adult educational attainment, and takes into account the lingering effects of the ongoing recession.
o Ohio's Score: C+ (78.4)
o Nation's Score: C+ (77.6)
2. K-12 Achievement: Examines at school achievement: 4th and 8th grade scores on math and English tests, the influence of the poverty gap on test scores, and high school graduation rates.
o Ohio's Score: C- (71.2)
o Nation's Score: C- (69.7)
3. ...
Ohio's newspapers ran headlines today warning, "Money crunch pushes Downtown roadwork way back," "Local highway projects face delays," and "Last phase of I-75/I-475 project stalls." The financial problems facing Ohio is scaling back big time infrastructure projects that have been in planning for years. According to the Columbus Dispatch the Ohio Department of Transportation "proposes pushing back 34 projects that had been planned to start by 2017 to dates as far off as 2036."
Jerry Wray, director of the Ohio Department of Transportation, captured the problem when he told the Cincinnati Enquirer:
Unfortunately, this is Ohio's new reality. For too long, previous administrations have added more and more to the list of projects knowing that there were more projects than funds available. Their poor planning has put us in the position of making the tough decisions and delivering the bad news to many communities throughout the state that there is simply not enough money to fund their projects.
In reading about the woes facing Ohio's highway improvement efforts I couldn't help but wonder if education in Ohio doesn't face problems of similar scale. Despite recent cuts at both the state and local levels in the Buckeye State, have we made more promises than we can possibly meet? Ohio is in the midst of totally revamping its academic standards as part of the Common...
Is it time for Ohio to consider new forms of governance and management for its most troubled schools and districts, and, if so, what might alternatives look like? The question of what to do with long-suffering public schools has driven many of the country's most significant education reforms. Both the No Child Left Behind Act and Race to the Top competition addressed failing schools and sought to force dramatic changes within them. States have also taken up the challenge. According to the Education Commission of the States there are at least 29 states that permit state takeovers of school districts for academic bankruptcy, fiscal mismanagement, and other problems, while at least 23 states provide for takeovers of school buildings.
But, despite both federal and state legislation and millions of dollars in things like "school improvement grants" there are still far too many schools that seem impervious to improvement efforts. Consider Cleveland where there are 15 elementary schools that have been rated Academic Emergency (F) by the state for at least the last four consecutive years. Collectively, these schools serve about 6,000 children and in 2010-11 they met a total of just eight state performance indicators out of a possible 225. In these schools fewer than half of the children attain basic proficiency in reading and mathematics by the time they leave eighth grade. Yet, these schools, and many others across the...
An innovative partnership to teach money-management skills to students launched this week between a southern Ohio district and a local credit union.
The Atomic Credit Union is establishing student-operated credit unions in the three elementary schools in the Jackson City School District. The credit union offers free savings accounts for children that feature no fees or minimum balance requirements. The credit union will provide the first $2 deposit for each student who opens an account and students may then deposit as little as one cent at a time – to ensure that all students can participate, regardless of their family finances. One day a week will be designated as "credit union day" in the schools when students can make transactions, and fifth-grade students will learn real-world job skills working in the school credit union.
Credit Union President and CEO Tom Griffiths told the local Telegramnewspaper, "For our children to be growing up and experiencing the worst economic times our country has seen since the Great Depression, I cannot think of a better 'educational vehicle' than that of a student-run financial institution."
The average household carries more than $10,000 in credit card debt and college tuition continues to rise (in fact, Sec. Duncan and Vice President Biden are talking college affordability in Columbus today). People – especially in areas like southern Ohio, where unemployment...
Yesterday I had the pleasure of visiting Columbus Preparatory Academy, a K-8 Mosaica-run charter school on Columbus's west side that is a poster child for the successful turnaround of a troubled school.
In 2008, the school was rated F by the state and student performance on state assessments was abysmal. Today the school is rated A+ (aka, Excellent with Distinction) and boasts achievement levels that best that of nearly all of the area's top-performing schools (and are leaps and bounds above the state's definition of "proficiency"). This transformation was achieved while the school continued serving a challenged student population – about 72 percent of students are economically disadvantaged and eligible for free or reduced-price lunch – and retained nearly all of the same teachers and staff members who were working in the school when it was failing (in a school that now employs 30 teachers, the principal said just seven or eight teachers have left during his four-year tenure).
So what are the keys to CPA's success? Two things immediately stand out:
Leadership. Principal Chad Carr (who has led the turnaround since taking over the school four years ago) is committed to the success of his students, staff, and school like few others in his field. I don't say that lightly as I know a lot of absolutely terrific school leaders, but spend five minutes with Carr and...
What does online learning really cost? Can it, in fact, be both better in terms of improving student achievement and overall less expensive than traditional bricks and mortar schools? These fundamental questions are what the Fordham Institute's new paper, "The Cost of Online Learning", gamely tries to tackle. In short, paper shows that online learning has the potential to save education money while also improving the quality of instruction available to students.
The Parthenon Group (the national research firm that helped craft Ohio's winning Race to the Top application) provided the research. They conducted more than 50 interviews with entrepreneurs, policy experts and school leaders across the country to come up with "an informed set of estimates regarding the cost of virtual and blended schools" across five categories – labor (teacher and administrators), content acquisition, technology and infrastructure, school operations, and student support.
Using these five categories as the basis of comparison the researchers compared a "typical" traditional model (brick and mortar school where instruction is delivered by teachers), a "typical" blended model (students attend brick and mortar schools where they alternate between online and in-person instruction) and a "typical" full virtual model (all instruction takes place online). In blended schools like Carpe Diem, Rocketship, and KIPP Empower, technology is used as a tool to personalize instruction for students who spend part of their...
Just over a year ago, Ohio won $400 million in Race to the Top grant dollars and promised to implement a number of significant reform programs. The U.S. Department of Education just released a progress report for the Buckeye State detailing how it has fared in year one, as well as the work that remains.
First, it might be helpful to revisit the major commitments Ohio made. They were to:
Ohio has more than 600 school district, 3,500 district schools and over 300 charter schools so it had its work cut out for it when it applied for RttT dollars and then won. The list of goals stated above is no easy task. So how is Ohio doing...
The Dayton Public Schools are caught in the middle of a financial crisis… yet again. A recent Dayton Daily News article delivered the somber news that DPS officials must find a way to avoid a $12 million deficit in 2014. Last year DPS cut 294 positions, including 139 teaching spots, in an attempt to fill a $9 million hole. Less than a year later, the district is back in the same spot, leaving DPS leaders with a couple of options.
Property Tax Levy
One option to fill the gap is putting a new tax levy on the ballot in the November election. Dayton voters last approved a 4.9 million operating tax levy in 2008 which was supposed to generate $9.3 million annually. However, due to a decrease in student enrollment, high foreclosure rates, and delinquent taxes, the district is actually collecting less in property taxes than it did before the levy. Consider the following: in 2001 DPS had 20,147 students enrolled in their schools; fast-forward to the 2010-11 school year and only 14,174 students remain in DPS. The news doesn't get much better when you look at the amount of tax money that is not collected. In 2010 DPS lost out on almost $5 million dollars (collecting only 85.5 percent of taxes due to the district). Considering the track record of tax collection and the not so bright future...
Good morning and welcome to a new year and a new look for the Fordham website, and a new approach to our blog. In the past Flypaper has served as the main and only blog for the Fordham team, allowing for a variety of voices to share their opinions on various topics in the ed-policy world. But we at Fordham believe that a group blog has its limits (i.e. as new posts get added every day, posts that are still timely and relevant get pushed to the bottom, making it difficult for the reader to keep up with the swarm of blog posts) so Fordham now has six separate blogs, each with their own authors, focusing on specific topics. Read Mike Petrilli's explanation of the new blogs here for a better understanding of the new blog approach and what topic each new blog will focus on.
Most exciting out of this change for our small (but mighty!) team in Ohio is that we now have our own blog, Ohio Gadfly Daily. This blog, which will be co-authored by the entire Fordham-Ohio team (with occasional guests bloggers), will allow for keen insight into Ohio's education policy scene, where we not only advocate for educational excellence for all students, but attempt to put those policies into action with the sponsorship of eight charter schools.
Be sure to stay tuned to Ohio Gadfly Daily for what is sure to be an exciting and busy year, and...

Before she slipped back into a bikini for Saturday's party at Las Vegas' Wet Republic -- the last time she was photographed in a two-piece was April 2010 -- Heidi Montag spent some serious time in the gym.
"I've been working out from, like, 5 a.m. to 7 p.m. for two months now. I've been working out really hard because I had this pool party and I was like, I have to be in shape," she told Us Weekly. "And I was actually a lot overweight. It was the most I've ever been because I've kind of been in hiding eating pie with my husband and puppies, so I needed to get back in shape."
At her heaviest, the 5'2" reality star claimed she weighed 130 pounds; she's currently back down to 103. How did the "Hills" alum lose 27 pounds so quickly?
"I've been running a lot, and I've been doing weights," she said. "When you work out, you boost your metabolism, so you have to [make sure you eat enough]."
Montag -- who listed pie and fried chicken as her weaknesses -- said she's been noshing on apples, cherries and salads to slim down. After famously undergoing 10 cosmetic surgeries in late 2009, Montag added that decided to take a year off from the gym.
"My breasts, because they're so big, really needed some time," she explained. "So I'm just starting to work out again after my surgery. Sometimes I get shooting pains, but I hear that's normal."

|This was my first lead ever, and a memorable one at that. I inherited some sport gear from a friend who moved out of the country so I read a book on how to climb and did it. Someone told me there was an easy lead just down from the railing, they were talking about Stair Tek 5.5 but i thought that this was the route. Years later I still thought it was a runout lead (like most climbs in sequoia) but it sure was adventurous for being so close. There are newer bolts up around the area so somebody is is climbing there, I just haven't run into any other climbers there.

Named for its owners, Richard Bo Ng and Theresa Far Ling Ng, the Bo Lings empire was built on their well-prepared versions of traditional Chinese-American dishes and classic Cantonese and Szechuan fare served in sleek, attractive dining rooms. Both the Plaza and Metcalf locations serve dim sum on Saturdays and Sundays, rolling out carts loaded with appetizer-sized dishes, including steamed roasted pork buns, dumplings, jellyfish, chicken feet, lotus rice and sweet custard.

What is your objection with Jones?
Sarcasm noted; I understand the general objections with a "progressive" platform, much as I understand people's objections with a "libertarian" platform. But I also know that no candidate is exactly either. It is about direction and approach.
Ron Paul said he would have been in favor of paying for health-care if we withdrew from around the World and balanced our budget.
In the case of IL-02, where it is looking as if we could get an Independent voice in the race (if winning is out of the question, getting him into 2nd place would set him up to challenge Kelly in 2014).
I lean more "Green." To me that means I am not dead set against every Government program, but I favor low taxes on the General public and market (not against a Marijuana tax for instance, but against Income Tax), I support Gay Marraige. I'm not impressed by our currect International "Government" (IMF, WTO, World Bank, UN, NATO). I'm against most gun controls (safeties are an okay regulation).
I think Jones is closer to my sort of "Green." One that seeks balance and to represent the people.
Do you have any specific issues with why you couldn't support LeAlan Jones in his campaign to overcome Robin Kelly?
Would you rather have Greens or Democrats (even if as opposition to the Right, which would you prefer?)?

Stress Tests for Wall Street -- What About the Billions in off-the-Books Toxic Assets?
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
This report was produced in collaboration with American News Project.
At the center of President Obama's overhaul strategy for Wall Street are the "stress tests" which will be applied to all financial institutions. But how accurate will the test results be? That will depend on whether the treasury takes off-balance-sheet assets into account, experts say. Back in February, in the House Financial Service Committee, when asked a question about the value of Citigroup's assets, CEO Vikram Pandit provided a less-than-clear response: "It's an extraordinarily difficult question."
Click the video below to WATCH the exchange between Rep. Louis Gutierrez (D-IL) and Vikram Pandit.
Rob Weissman, director of the corporate watchdog group, Essential Action, and author of a new report called Sold Out: How Wall Street and Washington Betrayed America, said that, in addition to what Pandit said, there's an additional factor that could fog the test results: off-the-book assets.
"If you don't include the off-balance sheet assets in the stress test, then it's not a legitimate stress test," Weissman said. "It's pretty plain that the off-balance-sheet operations are a central part of the story of why we don't know what the banks own." The Treasury Department declined to comment on whether they would take off-book-assets into account when running the stress tests.
Weissman says that recipients of bailout money, like Citigroup, Bank of America and JP Morgan, have been engaging in "fanciful accounting" of what they owe and what they own by relocating of their less-than-healthy assets off the books, in shadow corporations. Rep. Brad Sherman has described the process as, "apples on one balance sheet and oranges on another."
According to RGE Monitor, off-balance-sheet operations have skyrocketed over the last 15 years. From 1992 to 2007, on-balance-sheet assets grew by 200 percent, while off-balance-sheet assets grew by 1,518 percent. In 2007, it was estimated that there was 15.9 times more money parked in off-balance-sheet operations than in on-the-book operations. Not all off-book assets are toxic. Some financial institutions might park assets off their books if they are planning, for instance, to sell them. However, in rough economic times, off-balance sheet accounting allows banks to veil their losses from investors, regulators, and even insiders.
"This turns out to be a really important benefit [for a bank] if it happens to be insolvent," Weissman added. "And many believe that if you total Citigroup's assets and liabilities, it is insolvent."
As of July, Citigroup appeared to have the most off-book assets -- an estimated $1.1 trillion. But they aren't alone. As of July 2009, JP Morgan Chase & Co. had more than $400 billion off their books. Bank of America had $48.2 billion off the books before it bought Merrill Lynch. "If you start adding up all the potential exposures, it's a huge number," Sam Golden, former ombudsman for the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, told Bloomberg. "The banks will say that it was disclosed. Investors are saying, 'Yeah, but it was cryptic.'"
Disclosure rules for off-balance sheet operations are notably less strict than those for assets on the books. Neri Bukspan, chief accountant for Standard & Poor's told Bloomberg, "A lot of information tends to disappear."
The use of the off-balance-sheet assets was a core part of the Enron scandal, where they were able to wrap debt inside of debt, using obscure corporations, so no one could track what they owed and what they owned. After the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 was set in place, there were efforts to address the problems with off-book assets. But after heavy lobbying by two main trade groups, the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association and the American Securitization Forum, banks were given special exemptions.
In September of 2008 as the financial crisis was coming into full view, the Senate Baking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Committee held a hearing, discussing off-balance sheet operations. Senator Jack Reed recalled Enron: "This phenomenon of moving assets off the balance sheets is eerily familiar. We recall back in the days of Enron that its schemes to manufacture false profits included special purpose entities that conducted transactions off-balance sheet. The goal was to avoid financial reporting. While no one is necessarily suggesting scandals of the Enron kind, we cannot fail to admit the irony. We are dealing with a similar problem yet again, only six years later."
George P. Miller, Executive Director of the American Securitization Forum, said that moving assets off-book back on to the books would cause dangerous swelling of balance sheets. He added, "There are many other steps that the industry can and should undertake to promote broader and better transparency about risk exposures in these vehicles, whether they are on or off-balance sheet."
But Donald Young, former member of the Financial Accounting Standards Board countered, "We just had an investment bank [Lehman Brothers] go bankrupt with a fair value balance sheet that showed it had plenty of assets and liabilities. And it almost seems like financial reporting is out of control and not trusted and not believed in. And I think what we do here has got to establish transparency. If the transparency is such that we're going to bring out some bad news that wasn't there before, that's a risk. But I think the benefits of reestablishing confidence in the markets will overwhelm that."
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) are revising the rules so some off-book assets will have to be reported on the books. However, the changes won't be effective until January 2010 at the earliest. In March at a House Financial Services Subcommittee hearing, Rep. Sherman complained about this lag. He told the chairman of the FASB, Bob Herz, "If you guys can't act quickly and logically, perhaps the regulatory accountants need to act and depart from what is a somewhat illogical and certainly slow process that you've got."
In the meantime, in a recent letter to his employees, Pandit has said Citigroup is having its best quarter since 2007 and the bank had conducted its own internal stress tests with positive results. But Weissman says something doesn't add up. "Either they've done a lot of due diligence in a short amount of time that they hadn't done before, or the stories are incompatible."

"The real deal "

- Senior Management
- Career Opportunities
I worked at Orrick
Firm name recognition for lateral moves to another firm. Benefits.
No real leadership. Firm lacks individuals who understand a team concept. Others in management seem not as helpful when a tight deadline is looming. Employee morale always seemed low and there was too much micromanaging without a true mentoring. Mentoring and refrain from all the negative chit chat about this lawyer or the next lawyer. Hold people accountable, even upper management.
Keep your ears open and act when there is incompetence. Don't let people stay on at the firm who have a problem with fostering a team atmosphere. Stop being afraid to delegate.

The culture is one that only caters to the partners and attorneys. The staff are on the lowest tier and do not get the best treatment. There is a clear divide amongst the different levels of partners, attorneys and staff. There is not a lot of mingling between attorneys and staff and not the most welcoming place to work. Also, Orrick promotes work/life balance but that does not apply to the staff, only attorneys.Advice to ManagementAdvice
It would be nice if the upper management took more interest in the staff and were more appreciative of them.

Skip to comments.UN Chief: Gaza is An Open Wound
Posted on 07/20/2014 6:49:53 PM PDT by Olog-hai
United Nations (UN) Secretary General Ban Ki-moon urged Israel on Sunday to exercise maximum restraint and spare civilian lives in its campaign in Gaza, AFP reports.
He also condemned what he called the atrocious action of Israel in Shejaiya, near Gaza City, where 62 people were killed in an Israeli attack on Hamas terrorists. [ ]
Gaza is an open wound. We must stop the bleeding now, said Ban, adding that beyond a ceasefire the root causes of the conflict must be addressed.
(Excerpt) Read more at israelnationalnews.com ...
Then cauterize it.
Amputate it.
Hey Ban, Shut your Kimchi hole. The Palley's need to stop the missile attacks. They started it in case your haven't figured it out.
The antisemitic UN never met a terrorist it did not
support. HAMAS wants genocide in its charter and
the UN cleaves to that like it does to slavers.
Hey UN chief..suck a lemon OK..Hamas is killing their own people and instead of condemning their actions..they condemn Israel because they already despise Israel..Israel knows it..talked to my cousin today who lives in Rishon, everyone in Israel knows that Obama and his cronies want Israel to just disappear
The UN is a pestering, open wound that will never heal.
I'm really getting sick of this narrative that Israel needs to have restraint. Dresden and Hamburg come to mind as an example of how to effectively deal with Gaza and Muslims in general. There will be no lasting "calm", as Bibi puts it, with a restrained approach towards dealing with terrorists and their supporters.
The UN is an open wound.
israel need to deebride gaza and stitch it up good.
I was thinking of an infectious, festering, leprous sore.
The UN is a pestering, open wound that will never heal.
And a festering wound also.....but I thought pestering was apropro.
Hey, I'm on your side no matter what adjective you use.
Ban Ki Moon is an open wound.
Kinda rhymes.
Ban Ki Moon is an open wound.
Just a big wound.
He opens his mouth and out slips hypocrisy.
Ban Ki Moon is a wound.
Just a big wound.
They never tell the Palies to exercise maximum restraint.
So, the UN is an open sewer. What's the problem?
Has he had much to say about ISIS - has he told them they should do everything in their power to avoid civilian deaths - I have stopped listening to this organisation and it's puppets so I really don't know but I doubt it!
Banki needs to tell his cowardly HamAss pals to come out and fight the Israelis like men and to stop hiding behind women and children.
And its chief is unwound. Hey, Moon, why don't you urge your country to show restraint when Kim Jong Un has missiles rained on your folks back home.
Gaza is a boil that should be lanced.
Keeping tabs on which nations are for or against Israel. Should do a billboard blitz...
Zechariah 14:12-15
12 Now this will be the plague with which the Lord will strike all the peoples who have gone to war against Jerusalem; their flesh will rot while they stand on their feet, and their eyes will rot in their sockets, and their tongue will rot in their mouth. 13 It will come about in that day that a great panic from the Lord will fall on them; and they will seize one anothers hand, and the hand of one will be lifted against the hand of another. 14 Judah also will fight at Jerusalem; and the wealth of all the surrounding nations will be gathered, gold and silver and garments in great abundance. 15 So also like this plague will be the plague on the horse, the mule, the camel, the donkey and all the cattle that will be in those camps.
Don't forget chapter 12 and verse 3 of that book.
Ban moon . This bureaucrat needs to shut his kimchi pie-hole. Why has he not criticized the pali idiots who have been incessantly rocketing Israeli civilians??????
~~~the root causes of the conflict must be addressed~~~
Divide Israel. Just like the Antichrist will give them, one of these days.
It will stop when the Palestinians want it to stop.
I was going to post it all, LOL, but hey, every Freeper should have their own Bible and read the whole book for context, eh?
Ban Ki-moon, John Kerry, Barak Obama, Eric Holder, Hillary Clinton, Hamas, terrorists all over the world - the parts are interchangeable.
Zechariah 12:1-3 King James Version (KJV)
12 The burden of the word of the Lord for Israel, saith the Lord, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him.
2 Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem.
3 And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.
Zechariah 14:1-5 King James Version (KJV)
14 Behold, the day of the Lord cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.
2 For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
3 Then shall the Lord go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.
4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.
5 And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the Lord my God shall come, and all the saints with thee.
Maximum restraint? I'd say no restraint at all, give it every thing you've got as long as the rocket attacks continue. The IDF should move out and take/occupy any territory used as a launch site. Not temporarily, as a permanent security buffer zone. Eventually the attacks might stop if Hamas grows a brain. Or, more likely, eventually they will be pushed back out of range.
Title should read, "The UN is an open, festering, maggot-crawling wound that needs to be excised".
Title should read, "The UN is an open, festering, maggot-crawling wound that needs to be excised".
Another word that rhymes with moon -
Opens his mouth and sounds like a loon.
You'll note the media only reports palestinian deaths, with no breakdown. They're all presumably civilians. I've yet to see an article indicating Israel has killed terrorists. Or insurgents, or militants. If there's any specificity, it's always women and/or children. Either Israel has the most incompetent military in history, or the press is dishonest.
Gaza is a hellhole because the denizens of Gaza have made it so.
United Nations (UN) Secretary General Ban Ki-moon... condemned what he called the atrocious action of Israel in Shejaiya, near Gaza City, where 62The root cause of the conflict is jihad and its enabler, the UN.
peopleterrorists and a few human shields were killed in an Israeli attack... adding that beyond a ceasefire the root causes of the conflict must be addressed.

(photo credit:REUTERS/Raheb Homavandi)
Iranian president-elect Hassan Rouhani has dismissed Prime Minister
Binyamin Netanyahu's threats of a military strike on the Islamic Republic as laughable, the French news agency AFP reported on Wednesday, citing the Iranian media."When some (the United States and
Israel) say that all options are on the table and when a miserable
regional country (Israel) says such things, it makes you laugh," AFP
quoted Rouhani as saying in an address to Iran-Iraq war veterans.He
added that Iranian warnings of retaliation to an attack had deterred
Israel from carrying out any such strike on the Islamic Republic. "Who are the Zionists to threaten us?" AFP quoted him as saying. Netanyahu on Sunday launched a rhetorical offensive against Iran, warning that he would take any necessary measures to defend Israel.Asked when he would make a decision to attack on CBS News's Face the Nation, Netanyahu responded: "I can tell you I won't wait until it's too late."Rouhani
this week also reaffirmed the Islamic Republic's support of Syria and
the Islamist Shi'ite militant group Hezbollah as he hailed their efforts
in their plight against Israel, according to Iranian media.In a
response to a congratulatory message from Hezbollah leader Hassan
Nasrallah, Rouhani on Tuesday lauded Hezbollah's activities in Lebanon
and against Israel, according to Iran's Mehr news agency. Following the Iranian presidential elections in June, Hezbollah welcomed the election of Rouhani, calling him a "beacon of hope.""The
Arab and Muslim people... who have always seen the Islamic republic as a
supporter of the oppressed... and every fighter who resists for God,
consider you today a beacon of hope," AFP quoted the militant group as
saying.In Nasrallah's original message, he congratulated Rouhani
for winning the trust of the Iranian nation in a "political epic,"
Iran's Press TV reported.Rouhani, in response to a similar
message from Syrian President Bashar Assad, also asserted that the
relations between Tehran and Damascus demonstrated their determination
to confront the common enemies of the two allies, especially Israel,
semi-official Fars news agency on Tuesday cited the Iranian
President-elect as saying. The incoming Iranian president also
touched on the civil crisis faced by Syria reiterating the Islamic
Republics' favor of the Damascus regime. Rouhani said the
opposition of the Syrian people strengthened Assad's forces and the
Damascus government, stressing that the country could overcome its

I have never used Muntons dry yeast but I might have to as a back-up this weekend. Anyone ever use it and have any thoughts. I also have some windsor yeast.
I'm making an all Amarillo IPA and I'm hoping to use Wyeast American Ale II but I forgot to smack the activator pack so I just pitched the liquid to a starter without the nutrient and it didn't seem like much (I'm used to the white labs vials).
Ah well, RDWHAHB.
Call your local brewery and beg some yeast. Tel them it is a brewing emergency. If they are any kind of a civil being they will give you a culture.
You should get good growth on the yeast from the activator pack in your starter. I don' know much about the Muntons but I would use 2 if you have to, I think they are only 6 grams.

Much has been written on these pages about Virginia Medicaid expansion. All has seemed sincere, much impassioned and some insightful.
My objection to Medicaid expansion is hinged to my basic opposition to political extortion. Our current Virginia situation surely seems like extortion.
We hear from the feds, "Do as I say or I won't give you your money back." How did the states allow themselves to get into this position?
Medicaid is jointly funded by the federal and state governments, with the feds providing policy, guidance and regulation to state governments, which are charged with administering the program and delivering services.
What is potentially more inefficient, wasteful and ineffective than a federally managed program? Answer: A program that has two sets of government paws concurrently mauling the taxpayer.
We find this same joint federal-state extortion funding model in other government domains, including transportation and education.
Why is it used? Simply, the federal partner is needed to finance any program growth, waste and excesses through its limitless ability to produce debt, something no state government can do for very long.
From that flows the argument that we can expand Medicaid in Virginia "without cost," according to some unthinking advocates.
And how is it that the Republicans at the federal level are labeled by the FLS editorial writers as "obstructionist" ["The ACA deadline," March 27] for demanding add-on concessions to pass a national budget, and then are also labeled as "obstructionists" at the state level for resisting the governor's add-on concessions to pass a commonwealth budget?

Originally written on Busted Coverage | Last updated 11/17/14
YouTube.com Former NBA center Dikembe Mutombo was a shot-blocking machine during his really long NBA career (1991-2009). The four-time NBA Defensive Player of the Year would often wag his finger after blocking a shot, something he did 3,289 times — second in league history only to Hakeem Olajuwon. A new GEICO commercial brings Mutombo back for an encore in the office, at the laundromat and in the supermarket: Mutombo wouldn't seem to be the 1990s NBA player most likely to become a pitchman, but he's now starred in this spot and a recent Old Spice campaign set up as an 8-bit game: "Dikembe Mutombo's 4 1/2 Weeks to Save the World." This puts incredible pressure on Durex, Trojan or some other brand to step up and offer Mutombo a role that capitalizes on his greatest contribution to internet lore. He seems game.

Got a bud that has a DW 10mm bobtail, commander length.
He had another barrel fitted and setup for long oal 40s&W. He reloads the 40's long (almost 10mm oal) with 180gr bullets and is able to use the 10mm mags without spacers.
He shoots long loaded 40 in his USPSA Limited class 2011 anyway, so it works out well for him. The brass is way cheaper and more available

Chapter Twelve
Khushi woke up the next morning to the same numbness that had been a part of her for so long. She remembered a quote she had read a long time ago,
"My time has come and so I'm gone, to a better place far beyond. I love you all as you can see but it's better now as I'm free."
She repeated them again and again in her mind and found solace in those words. She then opened her eyes and looked at the surroundings. Hospital. She didn't know how she reached here, she didn't care. She turned her head and was surprised to find Arnav asleep on the chair next to her. Tiredness etched on every line of his face.
"Why hadn't he gone home?" She wondered. The old khushi would have smiled in hope would have danced in a jig when no one was looking. But she wasn't the old khushi. The old khushi was dead. There wasn't any life in her to feel.
Life had given her so much love from her parents, amma babuji.. and then taken it away. Taken it away when she had needed it the most. Taken it away so brutally that it had killed her in a way she could never love, in a way she could never feel.
They had all hurt her. Hurt her more than she deserved, hurt her more than it was possible to be hurt and still stay alive. No one could hurt her any more.
Now nothing mattered. Because she refused to feel. There was a numbness around her that separated her from the rest of the world. And she was alone at a place where no one could ever reach her again.
Arnav woke up to the stinging pain in his neck. He had fallen asleep somewhere in the morning. He checked his watch. Di must be arriving. He had refused to leave khushi's side at night. He was scared that if he went home she would leave him like his parents did and he had stayed up the whole night to make sure she didn't despite of the doctors reassurances that she was fine.
"Depression" the doctors had termed her condition. And it had taken all his restraint not to break down and cry knowing he had pushed her so far that she was now far away from him.
Akash was sitting in a chair nearby reading a news paper.
"Did the doctor come for a check up?" he asked
"Not yet. An intern did though. She said the doctor would come in some time. Apparently Shaurya has come to India. It's on the papers. So I guess there is a function to welcome him."
Shaurya Veer Singhania was Akash's distant cousin. He was mami's second cousins son. Arnav didn't know him personally as that family were mostly abroad and not technically his relatives but according to di ,shaurya had talked her out of depression when her leg had been amputated.
" Di said she got through the depression phase because of him. May be he can help khushiji" akash suggested
"He was not even her doctor. He is a neurosurgeon. And I could have helped Di too if I wasn't slogging off so that she got the best treatment." He said angrily.
"Bhai He is called the brain man. He is reputed all over for being the best. He is brilliant in his field..."
"Exactly! this is not his field." Arnav argued not wanting the handsome doctor any where around khushi. If khushi needed professional help he would get experts of that field.
"khushi?" he said sensing her awake. "How are you feeling?" he asked with concern.
"Fine." She said in a voice that was barely audible
"Anjaliji?" she asked
He sat next to her and stroked her hair. She didn't react nor did she draw back as she always had. It was as if nothing mattered and that tore him.
"She will be coming" he told her.
He waited for her to say something else anything to tell him that she would live... that they would both live but she closed her eyes and remained silent. Arnav felt the fear once again settle in his chest. Not caring that Akash was watching him in this vulnerable state, unable to bear the thought of her going away, he pulled his khushi in his arms and begged her to come back, to call him names, to hit him for every thing he had done. But she remained limp in his arms. Still as a statue and that hurt him more than any thing.
Akash broke the news about shyam to khushi's family. He was supposed to do so yesterday. He had asked payalji if he could visit but since her babuji was discharged yesterday payalji had refused and he didn't want to tell her over the phone.
Garima and payal gasped in shock on hearing about shyam. Buaji sat down stunned. She remained quiet for a moment taking every thing in and then she started crying and muttering about how they could have been so wrong
"And I said so much to khushi" buaji said with regret. Something must have given away in akash's expression as she asked
"Where is khushi? Why didn't she come to tell us this?"
" khushi is admitted in the hospital. Doctors say she is traumatized and is under depression. Her eyes are blank. She doesn't speak unless she is addressed to and too if she hears us. "
Buaji grabbed his arm and begged to tell her that she was all right. When he didn't reply, Payalji started crying and so did her amma and buaji. Her amma pleaded him to take her to khushi . So payal and her amma left with akash. Buaji wanted to come too but she had to be left behind to look after babuji.
Anjali brushed khushi's hair and spoon fed her. She forced arnav to eat something but he refused. She begged him to eat but he shrugged it off saying he was all right. It tore anjali to see chote breaking apart. His eyes never left khushi and died each time she didn't react. They tried to be normal around her. But sometimes she replied, most of the times it looked as though she didn't even hear what was spoken.
Then khushi's mother came, who cried looking at khushi and asked her to respond. But all khushi said was "amma, don't cry." But even that sounded too unemotional.
Arnav left the room and sat on a bench. He had thought talking to her family would bring her back to life. Now when that failed, he didn't know what to do any more. He was getting desperate.
His mobile buzzed. It was from the office. He switched it off wondering how the world could go on when his was ending. Every thing he had accused khushi of, every pain he had put her through was coming back to haunt him. He felt her pain as if it was his own. He felt it cut his soul. But he was ready to take this pain, to suffer for the rest of his life only if khushi would be fine.
Akash and di went to make arrangements of having khushi discharged later that evening.
He held his head in his hands too tired to think any more. He felt a hand on his head stroking his hair in a way his mother used to. He looked up to find khushi's mother with tears in her eyes comforting him despite of the way he had treated her daughter. Suddenly every thing he was trying to hold on to broke apart and he threw himself in her arms and for the first time in his life cried to a complete stranger.
Anjali watched arnav finally break down and couldn't hold back the tears any more' she ran down the corridor to the temple in the hospital. She prayed in a way she had never prayed before. If khushi did not recover she would lose chote. Her brother was her life. All the pressure of the last few days caught up on her and she begged to god for a miracle, which would sort out the ill wind that was threatening to destroy every thing she held dear.
As she turned to leave she ran into a something solid. She was so drained that she held on to that person without knowing whom she was holding. A moment passed and she felt his arms around her.
"Easy.., easy.. surely it cant be that bad" said a kind voice
She dragged back and looked at him. Her eyes widened in recognition as she looked at a handsome face.
"You are Shaurya" she exclaimed surprised
He smiled. A slow smile that would make hearts race... if hearts were intact and unbroken...
"I know. In fact I've known that for quite some time" he replied studying her intently.
She smiled through tears and then turned around and thanked god.
And for the first time in days she felt hope... she just knew every thing would be all right.
Shaurya veer singhania was standing infront of her.

If you are downloading a large file:
Internet Explorer downloads files first to a directory called "Temporary Internet Files",
then copies it to the location you specified. Make sure that the drive that contains your
"Temporary Internet Files" directory has enough space to hold the file. If there is not enough
space, the file may not download completely.
To find the current location of this directory, select "Internet Options" from
the Tools menu, then click on the "General" tab. Click on "Settings..." in the section for
temporary files.
Releases for UNIX platforms are typically compressed using GNU tar. To decompress you need
the GNU tar utility. If you do not have the GNU tar utility, see the next FAQ.
When running GNU tar, use the full path name for GNU tar as all UNIX implementations have
their own tar utility. Remember to use the -xzf option to recreate the original directory structures.
EXAMPLE: /<path_name>/tar -xzf <filename>
You can also try using a ZIP compression utility such as WinZip to decompress .tgz or .tar.gz files.
If you still encounter problems, please contact your nearest
Sybase Support Center.
The GNU utility source code can be downloaded and compiled on your system. Please use at least version 1.15.1 of GNU tar.
You can download the 1.15.1 source code from
http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/tar/tar-1.15.1.tar.gz and the gzip source code from
The following is a compiled version of the GNU utilities. Click on the platform name to download:
See http://www.gnu.org/software/tar/ and
http://www.gnu.org/software/gzip/ for more information and mirror sites for GNU software.
The Product Preview default is "All" and the Time Frame default is
"6 months". To alter your search for a particular EBF/patch or maintenance,
select different Product Preview and/or Time Frame options. If you change any of these
options click the GO! button to reload this page.
Go to the search bar at the top of the page. For Search, enter "Software Downloads"
for "Specific EBF/MR#". Then enter the exact number for the EBF or maintenance you
are looking for (Example: 9031 or Q1002 or I0210 for EBF or M0048 for maintenance release).
Licensed means that you have purchased the product and have an annual support plan with Sybase.
With an annual support plan, you would be authorized to receive EBF's and maintenance for that
particular product.
This release requires authorization that you do not have. If you do have a license to
download this release, please check that you are registered as a Technical Support Contact
in MySybase. To verify what roles you are registered for, go to
Edit Roles.
For additional assistance, please contact your nearest
Sybase Support Center.
There are many utilities available on the Internet for decompressing ZIP files.
Search for words such as "zip compression" to find available products.
Who do I contact for technical support for on-line services?
If you require technical support for on-line services
such as Case-Express or Software Downloads, please
open a case with Sybase Technical Support. You can open a case through
Case-Express or by calling
your local Sybase Technical Support office. In the United States of America, call
1-800-8SYBASE (1-800-879-2273). If you are outside the United States, contact your
