Engagement and Motivation Matter
Education Week's Diplomas Count 2014 salutes recent gains in high school graduation rate and shines a light on the role of engagement and motivation in student success.
A companion report, Engaging Students for Success, surveyed about 500 K-12 teachers and administrators and found that, while engagement and motivation were ranked as the most important drivers of student achievement, only 40 percent of respondents said that their students were highly engaged and motivated. Less than half of respondents thought that their pre-service training prepared them to engage and motivate students. Additional challenges identified included lack of parental support, student apathy, inadequate time and resources, and accountability pressures and administration policies.
The top approaches to promoting student engagement and motivation identified by respondents were:
In addition, the following were the three most common responses to the question "What are the most effective strategies you use to engage and motivate students?":
As these survey findings indicate, students are engaged and motivated to succeed when they have access to relevant, hands-on learning that connects them, through real-world activities, to postsecondary education and the workplace.

Greenpeace reveals WORLD'S FILTHIEST CLOUDS – and the cleanest may shock you
Amazon, Twitter and Oracle have been slammed by Greenpeace for their lack of transparency over how they source the energy for their data centers. Meanwhile, Apple, Facebook, and Google were praised by the hippie collective. Greenpeace lambasted Amazon for its sparing use of "clean energy" in its data centers in a report …
Shut the right one down
I am a bit of a tree hugger. I watched clear-cutting ruin the scenery when growing up in B.C. Later in University I realized that the damage to the ecosystem was permanent in many ways and the landscape as I knew it would never return.
I am old enough that I remember a world literally much greener than it is now. I think it is important that we understand what constitutes good stewardship of both the environment and our society as we continue to advance. The key here, though, is understanding.
I was once a supporter of Greenpeace, but they have become entirely net negative. Whether by design or ignorance they foster illiterate nonsense thinking that somehow environmental change and species extinction are intrinsically bad and should be opposed at all costs. They are working diligently to send our post industrial society back to the stone age. Thanks to the efforts of Greenpeace and fellow travelers Doctors, Lawyers, Scientists, Judges and other highly trained and expensive human resources waste their time literally sorting through garbage. This activity has prevented sane and sensible industrial scale treatment to recycle materials. How many advances have not yet been made because the productive capacity that would have made them was fussing with garbage or mindlessly protesting fundamental facts of life like evolution through natural selection?
It is ironic that they are so focused on particulars of energy and ignoring the big picture. With abundant cheap energy we can do whatever we wish in terms of limiting our environmental footprints, expanding out into the solar system, automating ever more things, etc. Greenpeace would like to hobble and harass the marketplace without any real understanding and whenever they get their way the results are predictably disastrous.
Greenpeace has their shoulder firmly to the wheel with respect to the increasingly irrelevant Climate Alarm raised by the second-raters in 'Climate Science' and kept alive by spineless politicians who seek to have power rather than exercise leadership. I am not wrong about the fact that *more* CO2 is a *good* thing, but even if I were, with abundant cheap energy we could sequester CO2 at will easily enough.
Mankind is dealing with a limited biosphere. Living things increase in numbers exponentially until they encounter some limiting factor. We have, through a variety of mechanisms been able to dodge Malthusian catastrophe, but the only way to avoid crashing into the boundaries is to lift the boundaries. One way or another the human population will continue to rise until it reaches an external limit.
Environmental stewardship is necessary, but it is not sufficient. We need to respect the math of population growth. Our very best hope for the future is finding a way to get abundant cheap energy. A strategy focused solely on reducing energy usage ultimately results in a reduced standard of living and stagnation or reversal of scientific advancement. Already in Canada we are suffering the ill effects of energy constraints and rising costs due to the pursuit of so-called 'green' energy sources like windmills.
If I had the power, I would shut down Greenpeace tomorrow. It would make the world a better place.
Greenpeace lost its way years ago.
Re: Greenpeace
I like how they ignore the fact that current levels of CO2 are helping reforestation projects due to the stuff being plant food. I remember reading a study, that even without intervention, over the next 100 years natural reforestation will slow down and stop the encroachment of the Sahara.
And as I mentioned not long ago, their ships burn fuel oil. Do they buy a magic type that produces no pollution whatsoever? They also use technology that is made from materials sourced from high pollution mining methods. Do all of their offices run on 100% clean energy?
Why don't Greenpeace put their stats in the survey for comparison?
Re: Shut the right one down
quote: "It is ironic that they are so focused on particulars of energy and ignoring the big picture."
What's even more ironic is the dichotomy of their views on nuclear power, and solar power. Especially amusing is the look on their faces when you point out "sunlight" is radiation emitted from an unsupervised, unshielded nuclear reaction. Cue all sorts of attempts to rationalise solar as "good" but all other nuclear as "bad" ;)
I probably shouldn't, but sometimes it's just too tempting ^^;
Malthusian catastrophe
The Malthusian catastrophe is another scare story which is being disproved by emprical evidence.
Yes, the world's population has been rising very fast but that is because third world countries are now developing along with medical and health benefits. This means instead of having large numbers of babies to cope with the fact that a majority of them do not survive, they only need a few babies like us in the west as 99% of children survive. But it takes a generation or two for this to happen.
As families find out that their children are able to survive they also realise that in a developing country children are a cost, not a benefit. In an agricultural society you need lots of people to do grunt work, and children are very useful for this kind of thing. In a developing society children get education and this costs. Even with free education this is still paid for via their taxes.
The emperical evidence is showing that the rate of growth in the population is flattening out as India and China develop into 1st world countries. So us humans are naturually limiting ourselves to the world's abilities. And the world's abilities to keep us fed can still grow. Compared to modern times, 1800s agricultural production was very inefficient. A diary cow now produces many times more milk than an 1800s cow. Crops now produce many more tons per acre than in the 1800s. All through the benefit of modern technology and practises.
Greenpeace and their ilk such as Friends of the Earth are wanting to take us back to the middle ages. They want to throw away all the work our ancestors did in getting us here. Our ancestors died to get us here (like the thousands who died in coal mines) and GP and FoE are basically saying that they died in vain.
Re: Greenpeace
Typical of clueless Greenpeace to lump nuclear with the 'disapproved' energy sources. Overall globally there are 4 things that can happen in teh next few years:
1. continue as 'normal' with fossil fuels the main energy source with what it implies for (lack of ) security of supply, increased energy expenditure to even get the stuff out of the ground, severe particulate pollution and eventually falling off a supply cliff... and I'm not even mentioning global warming
2. GP's way which is dump nuclear and fossil ASAP, get to 100% renewable ASAP, also involving energy prices skyrocketing, quality of life diminished in richer countries and hope of it improving destroyed in poorer countries, vast swathes of countryside eaten up by wind and solar farms, security of supply down the drain.
3. Serious investment in modern nuclear now, and worldwide, to take up baseload power over from fossil fuels over the next 50 or so years, allowing renewables to grow organically and steadily while carbon energy is phased out. Energy prices will still increase* but not as much as in (2). There are still risks but hey this is the real world, nothing is risk-free. Forget Fukushima that was a 50-year old reactor based on 60-year old design, new reactors are both safer AND can burn off the nasty radioactive stuff produced by older reactors as fuel.
4. Discover fission
*We're long past the point where oil is cheaply and easily dug from the ground in such vastly abundant quantities that we can afford to waste. Dirt-cheap energy is gone forever**
**until point (4) not only can be done but has matured and scaled... and possibly not even then
Re: Malthusian catastrophe
@The Axe
"The emperical evidence is showing that the rate of growth in the population is flattening out"
UN 'middle estimate' of global population is that it wil level out at around 9-10 bln people
"Compared to modern times, 1800s agricultural production was very inefficient. A diary cow now produces many times more milk than an 1800s cow. Crops now produce many more tons per acre than in the 1800s."
Completely true, but I would add the caveat that I'm not too happy about some of the "modern technology and practises." Increased production of meat / milk is partly due to overstuffing animals with unneeded antibiotics, animals reared in terrible and unsanitary conditions etc. Same with farm practice, yields are partly increased through indiscriminate use of pesticides, artificial fertilizers etc.
I think it's perfectly possible to have increased yields compared to 1800s or to places like sub-Saharan Africa, but lower than current 'mega factory-farming' yields, and still have enough to feed everyone in a way that is healthy for both us, farm anilmals and the environment. It won't be 'cheap' in the sense of a £2-3 steak, but rising standards of living could cope with that. (And too much meat is unhealthy anyway!!)
Re: Greenpeace
The sad thing is the way they and Friends of the Earth have such a lock on representing the environmental movement. As a specific example, where do all of us who regard Nuclear as a good option go? Like __ I recall a greener land. I'm all for stopping the hunting of whales, I used to be a member of the RSPB, I would like to curtail deforestation. Building materials and living space I understand. Obliterating huge chunks of rain forest so that US citizens can continue to gorge themselves on cheap beef (the land is used to grow soybeans for cattlefeed), is not something I like. Who is left to speak for the _educated_ environmentalists?
If you try to lend your voice to any environmental campaign (e.g. protecting British wildlife), you'll instantly find your money or your presence or both co-opted by one of these groups. RSPB now campaign for windfarms (unsightly, unnecessary, costly), I'd be fully behind Greenpeace trying to stop Japanese whaling, but my money would go toward chastising Amazon for using the most nuclear power. I'd like to show up to a meeting about deforestation of South America, but my presence is counted as support for an organization that routinely spits out misinformation and lies about nuclear power.
Nuclear power isn't a perfect silver bullet, but if you accept we're going to have to get off fossil fuels, it's by far the best option in most places (solar has value, however). And I support nuclear power _because_ I'm environmentally minded. Greenpeace and FoE are riddled with prejudice and bad science. There are millions of people such as myself who call ourselves environmentalists, that these organizations exclude and prevent from being heard.

Re: Shut the right one down
I'm no particular fan of Greenpeace, but that is such unforgivable twaddle.
>somehow environmental change and species extinction are intrinsically bad
Well, to the species concerned, it's pretty bad. To the species that relied on the first species, it's bad. Losing diversity is bad.
>They are working diligently to send our post industrial society back to the stone age.
Sheer bullshit.
>How many advances have not yet been made because the productive capacity that would have made them was fussing with garbage or mindlessly protesting fundamental facts of life like evolution through natural selection?
Go on then - answer your own question. Approximate answer - none. Understanding what we throw away tells us quite a lot about what we make - and how to make it better.
>With abundant cheap energy we can do whatever we wish in terms of limiting our environmental footprints
Oh dear. You're using words which don't mean what you think they mean.
>the increasingly irrelevant Climate Alarm raised by the second-raters in 'Climate Science'
Aha! A dinosaur, wilfully ignorant of science.
>I am not wrong about the fact that *more* CO2 is a *good* thing
Oh yeah? It must be nice to live in that cosy world of yours, in which you're never wrong, no matter how ridiculous your beliefs.
>If I had the power, I would shut down Greenpeace tomorrow
Luckily, you don't have the power. You're irrelevant.
mod note
Please refrain from getting overly personal.
Re: Shut the right one down
Just one of many corrections to your ad hominem attacks: With abundant cheap (clean is irrelevant) power, extraction, recovery, and proper disposal of any unusable waste fractions is a snap. It actually becomes seriously profitable. The engineering is beyond done; it's waiting on the shelf. The only component missing is abundant, cheap energy. And, why yes, I am several kinds of engineer with zero tolerance for BS.
Re: Shut the right one down
We have abundant cheap energy. Both in the form of fission for base load and the big ball of fusion in the sky to provide us lots and lots of cheap power (directly, or as wind) for bursty things. All that lovely stuff you want to do that involves neat disposal of waste, extraction, recovery, etc? We can do a lot of that with the "bursty" (I.E. generally available for 8-10 hrs a day) power, whilst using base load for the rest. (Including things like keeping smelters at minimum temperature, etc.)
What it requires is kicking a bunch of NIMBYs in the ASCII and making them realize that without fission, we're all fucked.
more efficient my ass
amazon is incredibly inefficient, they are built for inefficiency. The amount of wasted EVERYTHING there due to inability to pool resources amongst services is obscene.
heads up their asses, per usual.
Re: more efficient my ass
So basically, we need costs to go down to drive this into the right direction?
They're targeting low hanging fruit
Let's face it, Greenpeace is targeting something most people don't understand or comprehend... It's their PR department in overdrive. Yes, they should be targeting factories and waste and yes, the Middle Kingdom comes to mind. But donations come from those who can afford them... and that's the US and their ilk. They can protest in the same places they get their donations because of certain free speech rights.
I'd love to see how long the Greenpeacer would last standing in the middle Tiananmen Square holding his sign. While most of the population would be supportive just on the smog issue alone, the poor schmuck would probably be hauled off in the twinkling of an eye.
Nuclear = Red?
And here is me thinking that a data centre is likely to have a fairly predictable load, probably verging on absolutely static, since the compute resources are being used as nuch as possible.
Even when service usage drops in the middle of the night (erm, when is that on earth?) background tasks can be used to keep the utilization high....
Isn't that virtually a shoe in for a nuke power source?
Re: Nuclear = Red?
Ah, but because we had (have?) a habit of building volatile and intrinsicly unsafe types of reactors, simply because these types have weaponisable by-products, we have now got used to the idea that ALL types of nuclear fission reactors are inherently a disaster waiting to happen.
The colour coding
is rather unsubtle. And wrong, with nuclear in red. When will Greenpiece learn?
On another tack, Yahoo! is doing rather well on the index.
Greenpeace bah!
Well here's a bunch of bullshit on the www they can shut down themselves if they actually cared...
I was an avid Greenpeace supporter for 15 or so years, but no more... they have lost their way.
> Apple 100% because it's running on 100% green juice
The hipster power is strong in this one!
> Amazon 27% nuke power
I'm okay with this.
Apple 100% green juice?
Don't make me laugh. With what's going on in China there's no way in hell that's true. But that's what the political tree-hugger do: ship their real pollution elsewhere.
There are datacenters running on coal, gas and nuclear?
So far every datacentre I have looked into for hosting was running on 100% renewables without nuclear. Just look at companies like Hetzner or Manitu (the later positioning itself as an ethical company).
http://www.manitu.de/unternehmen/oekologie-und-klimaschutz/ (100% water)
http://www.hetzner.de/hosting/unternehmen/umweltschutz (also 100% water)
Other sources of electricity would just be far to expensive to run a datacentre of.
Come back salmon!
I don't see this. The power company will provide you with a "mix" of differently sourced power and "ecological" will not mean less expensive, it will mean *more expensive* (unless the cost is collectivized by governmental decree).
I don't even understand how anyone can claim that he does 100% ecological - are there are special high-tension lines going to their premises that transport electricity coming from particular sources fully separate from large-scale mixing electrical circuit that is the countrywide system?
Also, Hetzner is going overboard claiming that they have 100% ecological water leccy. I think that means they get *most* of it from Norway. Well, someone has to build the dams over there.
Re: Come back salmon!
Must be the green electrons which are clearly, visibly different from the red electrons. I've never been able to figure out how they match changes in demand by more than one customer against required changes in supply from differing categories of energy providers. I know it is possible, just extremely unlikely ever to occur in real life. Have to add a data-center or three for just my state and that doesn't even address the interconnects to suppliers who aren't going to be too happy about the power company directly controlling their generators. On the demand side, well that's why God invented Big Data and data scientists. Frankly that's easy compared to displaying exactly correct carbon-loading for each good, but I'll stop there.
I've said it before, I'll say it again ...
There is no such thing as "green" energy. Ultimately, all energy comes from the same place. And that place is nuclear. Like it or not, that's a fact.
In other news, greenpeace has never been green, nor peaceful.
Re: I've said it before, I'll say it again ...
Actually, all energy comes from a system that generates entropy very quickly. A massive random-number generator, so to say.
@DAM (was: Re: I've said it before, I'll say it again ...)
Didn't I just say that?
Who cares about what Greenpeace screams anyway, whose only mission is to send the modern world back to the Dark Ages.
What companies can and can't do...
"Therefore a better target for Greenpeace's bright green ire could be the tech goliaths responsible for the countless watt-chomping desktops and laptops used across the world. Or, you know, those huge fields of factories in the Middle Kingdom and elsewhere."
The problem with that thought is that a company like Apple can control the way it powers and cools its data centres. Its a relatively "easy" thing to do. Compared to changing the way components in desktops and laptops consume power. Power consumption in CPUs and the like is usually a trade-off between performance and power consumption. Things are improving all the time. Intel can't control the power supplied to customers...
Also, one thing I'd love to know is an equivalent of total cost of ownership, but for green-ness. Its all well and good focusing on the ongoing power usage of a data-centre but what about all that energy needed to build the place, to manufacture the servers, to manufacture the backup systems and the cooling. We certainly don't want to be encouraging companies to go throwing servers away, thereby increasing their footprint.
Re: What companies can and can't do.
"one thing I'd love to know is an equivalent of total cost of ownership, but for green-ness."
Me too. Gut feeling is Tesla (for example) would be a major underdog.
Greenpeace is a multinational corporation with an annual income or more than $300 million.
In the UK they are not a charity because of their political activity so they use various tax avoidance measures that result in them paying no tax at all. Starbucks would be jealous.
Re: Multinationals
Greenpeace have multiple arms to their organisation (like many charities). Greenpeace Environment Trust is a registered charity in the UK.
Greenpeace Ltd is a company that engages in lobbying and direct action. Many of these activities would excluse the charity wing from having its status.
You'll find similar arrangements with most large charities.
Re: Multinationals
Like I said, they use tax avoidance techniques.
Greenpeace = terrorist organisation
These people want to do more damage to our infrastructure than "regular terrorists" could ever hope to achieve. The members and supporters of this organisation should be detained in a walled off field of mud with a donkey - that seems to be the environment they are seeking.
Re: Greenpeace = terrorist organisation
And I'm going to tell the animal rights people about how hard they're working the poor donkey - FIGHT! Lentils at dawn...
I wouldn't even trust my pet hamster to be any where near these idiots.
Most seem to have half a brain, so is anything they say worth a dime?
Greenpeace and that other iffy lot EPEAT should merge. Both are 'compromised' in my eyes.
When is Google or some other tech giant going to take matters into their own hands and develop their own nuclear power station? That would move the world forward a far lot more than all this hand wringing/waving.
Greenpeace? Guerilla hippies more like.
Nuke power should be along side renewable for 'green-ness'
CO2 is good for trees and reforestation.
Greenpeace should rename themselves to Guerilla Hippies.
Apple being 'economical' with the truth?
Apple frequently boasts its buildings are "powered …… with 100 percent renewable energy."
Knowing Apple's precision with word use, their choice of phrase is 'interesting'.
I wonder how many sycophants misunderstand that as 'buildings 100% powered by renewable energy'? Which is something entirely different.
Their Nth Carolina Data Centre uses a massive array of solar panels. I wonder how it's powered at night?
Re: Apple being 'economical' with the truth?
>>"Their Nth Carolina Data Centre uses a massive array of solar panels. I wonder how it's powered at night?"
Well if we can't attribute it to the sunshine, and obviously there's insufficient power transmission in the moonlight, perhaps we can attribute it to the boogie.
Re: Apple being 'economical' with the truth?
quote: "Well if we can't attribute it to the sunshine, and obviously there's insufficient power transmission in the moonlight, perhaps we can attribute it to the boogie."
Good times, man, good times 8)
Why the greenpeace rage
I mean they bravely scaled the Shard to show those evil oil cooperation's who is boss, I am sure BP and Shell won't spill again after such a brave and well thought out process.
Technically, all energy is 'renewable' since it can be neither created nor destroyed only transformed. In the eyes of a marketing or P.R. dept. I'm sure that gives lots of scope for ommissions e.g.
"All our data centres use 100% renewable energy sources. [omit]Some of those sources may require millions of years to 'renew'[/omit]"
Your statement "Technically, all energy is 'renewable' since it can be neither created nor destroyed only transformed." is correct, kinda. Unfortunately, you are forgetting about signal loss (which is unavoidable).
Entropy is a bitch.
During the meanwhile, radiation sources are humanity's best bet long-term.
As for: "[omit]Some of those sources may require millions of years to 'renew'[/omit]"
Try billions (if ever). But thankfully, the universe started providing this energy over ten billion years ago, and we can harvest the energy now and into the future ... if we're not completely daft & ignore the concept.
The only question is, will humanity live long enough to understand reality.
Real Greens.
If you are green and are not in favor of power from nuclear fission you are merely misanthropic and are championing the death of millions, perhaps billions of human beings.
Re: Real Greens.
Hear, hear!
Green electrons
I always wonder how people can say that they are only using green energy. Can they decide which electrons to use that come down via the national grid? Are the green energy companies doing some special filtering to extract just the electrons from wind farms and solar fields and piping them down to their customers.
All green energy companies are is a way for middle class guilt ridden twits to feel all good about themselves.
It's like companies saying that they plant trees to replace the ones they use. Bollocks to that as well. All they do is pay some money to a company that does some work with numbers and CO2 tax credits and then tell the original company what that it is numbers of trees equivalent.
/rant off
Re: Green electrons
No you can't decide which particular electrons are generated from green or not.
Can't say for anyone else, but my utilities supplier offers varying degrees of sourcing, ranging from 'normal' that includes a chunk of renewables all the way to 100% renewables. The higher %age of renewables the more costly (difference is surprisingly little). Subscribers have the option of paying more for specifically green energy.
Of course as you say, if I opt for 100% renewables I can't know whether 100% of the actual electrons that pass through my system came from renewables, but what the utility does is to vary it's aggregate sourcing depending on the aggregate desires of all it's customers.
If for example Apple are claiming 100% renewable that's probably true in the sense that (a) they will be paying a premium for that and (b) their supplier will have needed to build or buy enough renewable to supply to match Apple's demand, irrespective of where the actual electrons go
Re: Green electrons
Haha yes, and this is further complicated by the fact that electrons do not travel down the wires instantaneously or even at the speed of light. The electron drift velocity is actually quite small in comparison, I remember calculating it in A level physics and it was in the order of a few cm per second from what I remember, so you'd need to factor the considerable time delay from power station to your house as well!
eBay is practically right down the street, tied into the same utility grid as my office. How do they know what power comes from coal and what doesn't once it enters the grid?
Electricity doesn't come in flavors. Or have identifying packets.
this is too much witchdoctery and straight up propaganda.

Our Story
Download Video: MP4 Ogg HTML5 Video Player by VideoJS
Youth Service Project, Inc. is dedicated to working with youth by cultivating relationships through safe, supportive, and creative programming to maximize their strengths and navigate their lives.
From Executive Director...
After having enjoyed our most successful fundraising yet this last May, we have entered the summer season in full force with our summer youth employment program, and summer camp. Summer for us is not only about keeping youth and children off the streets and hoping for reduced violence in our community. It is mostly about taking our mission to task and ensuring that we are in fact cultivating lasting and impactful relationships with those we serve. Moreover, summer programming is also about an intensive period of eight to twelve weeks of learning, teaching, mentoring, and building positive youth growth. Our summers have given us some of our most gratifying memories, and best examples of true youth leadership. We also look forward to the youth summit later in the summer, when the youth bring together their talents and skills to present an amazing showcase. Stay tuned for the upcoming open house and ribbon cutting ceremony of our remodeled youth technology space coming later in the Fall.
Kenny Martin-Ocasio
Executive Director & CEO

This year's Annual Conference of the International Bar Association (IBA) was held in Dubai from 31 October till 4 November, attracting record participation of over 5,000 lawyers all over the world. TARK GRUNTE STUKIENE partner and head of Banking and Finance Practice Group in Estonia, Hannes Vallikivi, chaired a panel discussion regarding legal opinions and related client communication and the duty of care of lawyers who give legal opinions. Speakers at the popular session included Peter R. Dawson from United Arab Emirates (HSBC), Michael Kutschera from Austria (Binder Grösswang), David Dali Liu from China (Jung He), Stephen Powell from England (Slaughter and May) and Timothy E. Powers from the U.S.A. (Haynes and Boone). Lawyers have better acknowledged their liability involved in issuing closing legal opinions during the years of financial crisis and the opinion practice has therefore considerably changed. The session dealt with those changes and also gave practical hints on opinions givers' risk management.
Hannes Vallikivi is the chairperson of Legal Opinions Subcommittee of the IBA's Banking Law Committee since 2009. The Annual Conference of the IBA will be held in 2012 in Dublin and the traditional IBA International Financial Law Conference will be held in May 2012 in Istanbul.

Myrtle Beach Real Estate
The famous Grand Strand consists of 60 miles of some of the finest beach and vacation property in the United States. With a slightly more temperate climate than Florida, we still experience mild winters and our spring and fall are like complete paradise. South Carolina and the Strand offer a low cost of living, yet every cultural and lifestyle enhancement you could ask for. Families and retirees alike can live here comfortably. Our real estate choices are as diverse as our residents. From elaborate oceanfront luxury mansions, to fine gated golf communities with every amenity, to modest beginner homes or condos, we have properties and land for sale in Myrtle Beach that will fit almost any budget.
Myrtle Beach Homes for Sale
The Grand Strand offers more in the way of single family homes than anywhere on the east coast. You can live on the Intracoastal Waterway with your very own dock and hop in your boat on a whim. Maybe you just want a nice modern townhome in a community where your kids are safe to ride their bikes along a street lined with palm trees and glorious flowers. The gated golf communities are second to none for privacy and breathtaking views of the beautiful greens, ponds, gardens, and lakes.
One of our finest neighborhoods for young families is Carolina Forest, just outside of the city on Highway 501. Carolina Forest boasts one of the finest schools in the south - one of five SC district schools that surpasss the national SAT average. The school excels in sports and even amazing dramatic presentations such as local versions of Broadway shows and choruses. If you have a family and you're looking for the perfect "Leave it to Beaver" community, check out the Carolina Forest Real Estate pages and learn all about this city within a city!.
North Myrtle Beach offers several of the best golf communities around, such as the Barefoot Resort, Tidewater, or Coquina Harbour. You'll find some older luxury estates in Briarcliffe Acres just south of North Myrtle, and many beautiful golf course homes to the north on Highway 9, such as Long Bay.There are many areas to live if you prefer a less crowded community, in fact. Surfside Beach, Garden City, Murrells Inlet, and Little River on the North End offer a non-tourist lifestyle just minutes away from the many fine restaurants and live shows that draw our life-blood - vacationers - to the Grand Strand by the millions. Both taxes and traffic are lower in these little coastal townships and unincorporated communities.
Myrtle Beach Condos for Sale
The most popular properties we have are our luxury vacation condos. With literally thousands to choose from, you can buy a small beachfront efficiency condo from as low as $50,000 - up to a million dollar magnificent penthouse with the finest upgrades and luxury interiors. Live in one of our 100-plus golf courses in a condo, or mingle with the exclusive rich and famous in a Litchfield Beach home on Pawley's Island. We can find a residence or vacation home that can change your life. The Grand Strand is truly a wonderful place to live, and very few folks ever leave if they stay here for any length of time.
Myrtle Beach Foreclosures and Short-sales
Now as never before the prices and available bargains from foreclosures in Myrtle Beach make purchasing resort property easier and less costly. South Carolina home prices are starting a slow climb back to the costs of the late 1990's, but are still so low that it can be a great investment. Purchasing property now can save you thousands and build your nest egg or retirement opportunities with the least expenditure ever needed. Myrtle Beach short sales are also becoming easier to obtain, and the banks are making the whole short-sale buying experience more pleasant as time goes on. Truly there has never been a better time to buy real estate in Myrtle Beach SC. Be warned, though...the best deals are going fast.

Brush fire threatens homes in Palm Bay
Published On: Dec 24 2013 03:08:04 PM EST
Updated On: Nov 06 2013 04:44:33 PM EST
Updated On: Nov 06 2013 04:44:33 PM EST
A brush fire that burned dangerously close to homes in Palm Bay was extinguished by firefighters.
Brevard County Fire Rescue said the fire ignited Wednesday afternoon in the area of Wessel Avenue Southeast and threatened as many as 5 homes.
One person was treated for possible smoke inhalation. No injuries were reported.
Video from Sky6 showed a small area of charred grass near some homes, with firefighters putting water on some hot spots.
Palm Bay Fire Rescue said the fire ignited in a vacant lot and quickly threatened homes. A boat next to the home nearest to the fire sustained minor damage, but the fire was contained to the vacant lot.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.

Tale Of The Tape: A's $1.2M Coliseum Rent Vs. $1.1M Craig Gentry Salary
The current proposed lease extension for the Oakland Athletics at the O.co Coliseum calls for the team to pay $1.25 million in rent for the 2015 season, more than most Bay Area studio apartments, but a pretty skimpy dent in a Major League Baseball operating budget. By Comparison, backup outfielder Craig Gentry is being paid $1.15 million this year. So what kind of return on investment are the A's getting? Let's compare.
Tale Of The Tape: A's Vs. Giants – Who Has The Better Fan Giveaways?
One team sells out every game and the other has to tarp off the top deck for home games yet fans still gets as loud as any in Major League Baseball. San Francisco Giants and Oakland A's fans are as different as the cities they hail from, and that's reflected in the promotional events the teams hold to pull in fans. So which team offers the better door prizes? We made that this week's Tale of the Tape.

I am pleased with your staff's actions.
When I ordered this set, I ordered two sets and an extra set of 4 plates for when more people show up that we're not expected. When they arrived, two of the plates were broken and I was upset because I thought I would have problems getting these replaced. To my surprise when I called the shipper the lady that answered was so nice and told me the plates would be replaced and they would arrive in a few days. True to her word they arrived on the date she had stated and were beautiful. Thank You So Much For Your Help! I plan to add more to my set soon. C B WintersI recommend this product.

The TC-L55ET60 is a very well balanced TV that for a moderate price gives you excellent pictures with vivid colours, great contrast, and fantastic viewing angles. 3D is top notch, with only a bit of crosstalk, and its 120Hz mode produces smooth motion without introducing artifacts. IT Reviews bemoaned the presence of just three HDMI inputs, but that aside, it's a fabulous mid-range set.

One way that I knew I was becoming an adult was that my method of making falafel evolved past using the boxed, pre-made falafel mix produced by Manischewitz. Upon producing my first batch of from-scratch, homemade falafel, I felt something akin to what people must feel when they make their first batch of homemade chicken noodle soup or their first non-frozen, non-Stouffer's lasagna. Heck, I felt that way when I made my first from-scratch pancakes, and pancakes are one of the simplest (and cheapest) things to produce from scratch.
Why do we rely on pre-made goods to deliver the foods we enjoy? I think it's a combination of the following things: Over-reliance on the food experiences we are used to, fear of screwing up our favorites, and limited time, patience, energy, and equipment. Also, for years I prepared food mainly for myself and most recipes, whether it's a pot of soup or a plate of falafel, produce too much for one person to consume in a short period of time. Short of dinner parties and potlucks, a can of soup made more sense for my lifestyle.
I cook for two (sometimes three, if our roommate is home) now, so the amount of food is no question. But I have a long commute to and from work, so when I come home to prepare dinner, fast and simple is usually the rule. One of the defining factors of my adult life is when I decided fast and simple did not have to mean pre-made or processed.
Thanks, adulthood!
This life lesson has served me well, like on a warm spring Tuesday when I've promised to make dinner for my partner and I, yet I cannot fathom producing a recipe that requires more than 30 minutes to prepare, nor can I imagine loading up the stove top with pots and pans, making an already tiny and warm apartment kitchen into a blistering inferno. I'm tired, I want to cook, but more importantly, I want to eat before it's midnight and so does my partner.
The solution? Homemade falafel, based off a recipe from the indispensable Moosewood Cookbook. Simple ingredients, fast to produce (even faster with a food processor), and a perfect meal for an evening too warm for something heavier and more complicated.
Side note: Why cheeky? Cause my falafel is a little spicier than other recipes. Reduce the cayenne, scrap the crushed red pepper, and you'll reduce the heat significantly.
Cheeky Chickpea Falafel
For falafel:
- 1 15oz. can of garbanzo beans
- 2 tsp of garlic powder
- 1/4 cup chopped onions (mince if mashing by hand)
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper
- 1 tsp cayenne
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp dried parsley
- 1 tsp thyme
- 1 tsp lime juice
- 2 tbsp flour
- Oil for frying
For sandwiches:
- Pita pockets (or flatbread)
- 1 tomato, sliced
- 1/2 cup onions, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cucumber, sliced
- Hummus (yes, yes, I used Trader Joe's brand, but if you've got some extra chickpeas and some tahini, make your own)
- Dressing (Optional, but a tahini-based dressing really does add a whole lot of flavor. Play around with store-bought variations or make your own!)
- Rinse and drain chickpeas.
- Combine all ingredients (except flour and oil) in a food processor (or mash by hand) until batter is uniform and thick.- Stir flour into batter. Pop into freezer for 5-10 minutes. (If pressed for time, you can leave out this step, but I've found it helps to keep the batter compact for frying.)
- Add oil to a frying pan and set at medium heat. Test readiness with a drop of water – if it sizzles, your pan is ready to go.
- Roll tablespoons of falafel batter into semi-round disks, then add to the pan. Fry on each side for about five minutes or until golden brown.
- Place finished falafel on a paper towel-covered plate. Repeat frying process until batter is used up.

Casey Anthony's Parents to Appear on Dr. Philby Free Britney at . Comments
Casey Anthony's parents, George and Cindy Anthony, will break their silence in an interview with Dr. Phil on the blowhard's upcoming season premiere.
Airing September 12, the interview will mark the first time Cindy and George have spoken publicly since Casey was acquitted of murder charges in July.
Casey Anthony remains in hiding, although she may be forced to return to Florida imminently to serve probation for a check fraud conviction.
"Cindy and George have suffered a horrific loss with the untimely death of their granddaughter Caylee," Dr. Phil said in a press release this afternoon.
"They have since endured an unprecedented public attack on their family,"
"Have these attacks been warranted, or not? I looked them straight in the eye and asked some very tough questions. Despite living under a 'media microscope' for years," Phil adds, "THEIR story has never really been told.""There's so much more to it than we've heard in the media."
"Throughout this extensive interview, we explore every detail of their ordeal, and they answer every question I know will be on our viewers' minds."
"Nothing is off limits during this interview."
Casey Anthony's mother and father will break their silence. Do you want to hear what they have to say? Or do you wish they would just go away?
George Anthony said that he last saw Caylee with Casey on JUNE 16TH when Casey left with her..The 911 call was made July 3rd..that was only 17 days until the 911 call was made. ..Why wasn't it brought out to Cindy from George that he had seen her just 17 days earlier so Casey could not have been missing for 31 days like Casey told her brother..I think Cindy is a desperate mother who is trying to find any excuse for HER daughter just so she can live with herself..George is a retired law enforcement office and because of the overwhelming evidence, that his daughter is a monster...
Loser,Loser,Loser......Yhey r sore sick losers....
Like these guys telling America anything true-NOT!!!!! Dr. Phil will get those answers-NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this is such a slap in the face.
George & Cindy doing this for free-my @ss,let alone answer questions people need answer on.
go back to my two questions on August 17 posting.
will we hear those questions? Hell no.
Dr. Phil may not pay them but he will donate to their foundation which belongs to Cindy and George and from there these losers will take their share. What foundation! Dr. Phil must be desperate.
Boycott is our best weapon.
Let's use it.
Turn off all TVs when an Anthony is on any station.
The silence will be for Caylee.
I agree, too, that George and Cindy played the defense's game to get the jury confused and so that her daughter could go free. The entire family is bad. After the defense called Cindy and George to the stand my sympathy for them went out the window.
Dr. Phil:
Question #1 - To George
Tell us about the molestation accusation.
Why didn't you scream out WHAT, Didn't that startle you
or were you aware that was coming up? It looked like it.
Question #2 - To Cindy
Your higher up bosses proved you were at work
when the computer was busy at home, why did you lie about
Question #3 - to both
Why are you protecting Casey, She murdered
your beautiful grandchild. She's got the devil inside. Dr, Phil will not ask any of these questions. He'll be
Kissing butt the entire show. Even he knows George and
Cindy were part of the whole defense show to get their
daughter free. They took it all for her.

"Who the hell is Flip Schultz?" I thought to myself back in 2007 when he warmed up for Pablo Francisco in Helsinki. He turned out to be way smarter in his jokes than his successor. No offense if you by any chance ever get to read this post, Pablo. Anyway, Flip came back to Finland in February this year. I attended. It was awesome. Laughing to a controversial sketch of Stephen Hawking giving his wife a moral speech after cheating on him. Epic. After the show I was so convinced and confident that I sent Flip an email asking if he's going to throw any gigs in the LA area in March and if he'd be up for a little interview. The response: "Hey Fred, that should be fine." Awesomeness.
March 12th. My 27th birthday. I'm enjoying a locally brewed beer at the Flappers Comedy Club in Burbank while waiting for my interviewee to appear to the bar. I'm moments away from chatting with Flip Schultz and all I can think of is how the hops are getting to my taste buds like beer angels sent from heaven, soothing my senses.. Flip walks in. "You're Fred, right?" I return to Earth from my day dreaming and focus. "Yes, indeed I am."
Small talk and such never seemed to be problem to Flip or Americans in general which smoothened this a whole lot. So what got this seemingly normal fellow on the other side of the table into comedy? "It sounds a bit cliché, but it's one of those things that I always knew I was going to do." Originally from Florida, Flip started amusing people when he was eight years old. Eight! Going to school he used to go to talent shows and he watched other comedians. He hasn't stopped comedy since his amateur night debut when he was 18. Lucky us.
If you've seen his show, you know that he's clever with his audience and from time to time he cracks himself up for coming up with a joke on the spot and delivers it to somebody in the audience. The enthusiasm, fresh thinking and the intense interaction with the audience makes this guy a joy to watch.
"Interacting with the audience. I love that." Has it ever gone to the point of no return with somebody in the audience? "No, not really… No wait. Yes as a matter of fact it has. I had a guy threatening me once. He was something like 'If you say one more word to me I'm going to break this beer bottle and shove it up your ass.' It was in my early career and it was because I wasn't so confident in my ability to go to the audience." (here we laugh a little, especially when I picture this scene happening.) "It's one of those aspects of being a comedian to be able to go to the audience and interact with them. It was scary at first, but I just made myself do it. It got easier over time."
On one of his DVD:s Flip asks a 20-something in the front row if he jacks off. The response is "yes, unfortunately." "WHAT, what do you mean unfortunately, it's the best thing you can do!" Flip responds – and it goes on for a while until he asks a follow-up question whether the guy has ever got caught doing it. The guy then responds to him "What? Got caught of doing what? Weed?" which then turns into eyeballing and more laughing "do you even recall our chat 7 seconds ago?". Flip goes on telling that "Interacting creates a sense of intimacy and those moments are never going to happen again. I feel that the audience really appreciates that".
I'm all out of my delicious local beer so we go into talking about his international tours and especially Finland and Sweden which makes his eyes light up. "To me it felt like standup is this exciting new kind of phenomena. It felt like the States in the late seventies, early eighties. All of the support people were giving me, it felt amazing to be there on tour." (Flip likes Finland! Let's get him back soon!)
When being in Finland you knew quite a lot of the local things that were going on. Are you hardcore on doing research before a gig abroad? "Not really, I just talk to people, pick up something and my brain goes with it and turns it into a joke." He goes on to dig out a book to clarify his sets. "This is my 'book of jokes'. It has every gig in it, which jokes I should pursue, which ones (out of experience) I should definitely not go with depending on location and new ones on what to work on. So don't worry, I'm always prepared regardless if I interact a lot with the audience or not. Furthermore I do like to change my set in order for it to remain fresh for people who's seen me before."
As the clock is ticking, people are getting louder and the show is about to start I pursue one last question in hope for something good. 'What is your greatest memory in your comedy career?' "Going from being the biggest fan of Weird al Yankovic, to actually touring with him was a turning point for me. That's when I realized I'm really good at this, I'm a professional now." How awesome is that? Going from being the biggest fan of somebody to hanging out with them on backstage.
"This is the dream. You know, there are a lot of people who wants the fame regardless of how you get it, but in the end of the day if you can make your living doing exactly what you want to do and actually enjoying it. To me, it's making it." I thank Flip sincerely and look forward to being picked on during the show. Off he goes to host another standup comedy show at Flappers Comedy Club in Burbank.
The venue is great for laughs, but for your own sake please don't eat the pulled pork sliders. I ran into some serious relationship issues later on that night with my good friend, my tummy. Nonetheless thank you for the show and everybody's inability to pick on the Finn properly due to lack of geographical expertise!

INDIANAPOLIS – A third-party review of spring ISTEP+ testing released Monday found no negative effect of computer glitches on student scores for the vast majority of students.
"Indeed, students who were interrupted had somewhat larger gains across years than those who were not interrupted," according to the report by Dr. Richard Hill of the National Center for the Improvement of Educational Assessment.
Indiana Superintendent of Public Instruction Glenda Ritz hired Hill to review the validity of ISTEP+ scores following widespread testing interruptions in April.
Some education officials have called for some or all of the scores to be thrown out.
ISTEP+ scores are used in part to determine teacher performance and compensation. And they determine each school's A-to-F accountability grade. The accountability grade can be used to eventually close failing schools or allow more students to take vouchers without first attending public school.
"We cannot know definitively how students would have scored this spring if the interruptions had not happened," the report said. "However, the data strongly suggest, that the vast majority of students scored as well as they would have had the interruptions never happened."
The report also noted the interruptions weren't the only element that changed in the test administration this year, which adds a level of uncertainty as to the root cause of changes.
"The problems with the ISTEP+ contractor were absolutely unacceptable. Every student deserves the opportunity to take a fair and uninterrupted assessment," Ritz said.
The Indiana Department of Education is negotiating a financial settlement with testing contractor CTB McGraw-Hill.
Ritz said she has given schools flexibility to minimize the effect the tests have on teacher evaluations and compensation.
But it appears the state's A-F accountability rankings will incorporate the latest test results.
Niki Kelly is Statehouse bureau chief for The Journal Gazette.

On their third album, the core members of I See Hawks in L.A. are joined by Chris Hillman (Byrds, Flying Burrito Brothers), Rick Shea (Dave Alvin Band) and other heavies from L.A.'s alt-country gang. It's the songwriting of the principal bandmates, though, that grabs your attention. Lead vocalist and guitarist Rob Waller, and Paul Lacques who supplies the high harmonies and plays lap steel, Dobro and guitar craft memorable melodies with lyrics that conjure up the dreams and nightmares of Californians past and present. "Raised by Hippies" blends bluegrass and rock to look at the past through slightly jaundiced eyeglasses, while "Slash From Guns N' Roses" is a sea chantey for people shipwrecked on the shoals of the Sunset Strip a dark song delivered with considerable humor. "Hard Times (Are Here Again)" is an acoustic country-blues cut that nods to Woody Guthrie's working-class poetry, with Hillman's mandolin fills and Lacques' wailing Dobro adding to the song's hopeless melancholy.
