To push or not re: math exam?
Find a Conversation
|Sat, 06-08-2013 - 7:12pm
A bit of back-story for those who don't know the background,
Youngest dd, a homeschooler, worked through the local school district's Grade 8 math curriculum this past winter. Most of it was review, but there was some new material, and some review that needed doing. She finished the course easily in about 4 and a half months.
Most of the time she thinks she would like to do math at school next fall, and this is something that is certainly theoretically possible in our district. Since the Grade 8 was already mostly review this year, the appropriate level would be Grade 9. It wouldn't be a high stakes course that would end up on her high school diploma / transcript: those start in Grade 10 here. So if she decided the pace was too fast, or the format ill-suited to her needs, she'd be free to bail part way through. Taking the course at school would entail a blend of seminars and self-directed work. What she would like is to feel like she's at least loosely part of a community of fellow learners at her level, and the structure and accountability of an externally-adminstered course.
Ninth grade math would represent a radically accelerated placement as she'll only be 5th grade by age next fall. We have a pretty open-minded school, but we still, I think, will need to make a clear case for them accepting her. She's been part of the 7th/8th grade intro to Spanish course this semester and has fit in very well with the other students. The math teacher (who is also the Spanish teacher, and the homeschool liaison ... yeah, it's a very small school) likes her and would I think support her 9th grade placement. But there will be a new principal -- a complete unknown -- and a new district superintendant (ditto). So I feel like it's in her best interest to make a strong case for her inclusion now, on fairly schoolish terms, and maybe even get her on the class roster before the summer break. Then it'll be more of a done deal and the principal will be less likely to question it.
With that in mind, we had planned to have her write the Grade 8 math final exam with the current class of kids. It's next week. She's about two thirds of the way through doing the unit-by-unit practice tests and she's starting to lose heart. We normally only do math two or three times a week, and she's having to spend 30-45 minutes most days. Not only that, but she doesn't have years of experience writing tests, and she's tending to make sloppy errors which I'm pointing out to her because at her request I'm grading her tests. She'll not notice part c of a question and skip it by a mistake, or not write out formulae first, or put extra equals-signs in at the beginning of algebraic equations, or round off to the wrong number of digits. Her solutions are almost always correct. Probably 98% of the time. But she would be marked down considerably for the little procedural things and the "not carefully reading the question" stuff and she doesn't like that at all. For the first time perfectionism is surfacing.
She's now saying she isn't sure whether she wants to write the exam. She's discouraged by the sloppy mistakes. I think right now it's easier for her to drop the dream of doing math at school than it is for her to find the motivation for attention to detail, because the attention to detail stuff is a current issue, whereas math at school is in the future, months from now.
I'd love to say "we arranged this with the math teacher at your request, and she's made an exception to include you, so you need to follow through." But it's not true: the Grade 8 math teacher is a family friend and unschooling parent who would be totally cool with anything. And dd knows that.
So if she needs a push, it's going to have to come from me.
I'm pretty sure that if she finishes the review tests she'll do fine on the exam. I think even just a passing grade would still serve our case well: it's her first-ever math test, and they'll know she didn't start the course until way after when the school kids did. So a pass is probably all that's really necessary, and she's likely to get a B even with a few sloppy errors.
How, and how much if at all, do you think I should push her to actually write the thing?
|Sun, 06-09-2013 - 9:06am
I think she probably wants to write the test. She just needs to get her confidence back so she's in a good place when she sits for it. Any chance of breaking down the 30 minutes of daily prep into three 10 minute mini study sessions per day? Doing just a few problems at a time may result in less fatigue and mistakes. If you "graded" each of the sections just as she completed it, she'd likely only have one or two tiny mistakes at most in each section. That way, she wouldn't feel overwhelmed because she "got six wrong" on the practice quiz. I think you probably need to take the approach of not seeming to "push" her but just to offer to facilitate/assist and get her through what she decided to do. "Let's just find a way to prepare that isn't so overwhelming and works better for you."

FWIW, dc usually gets marked down about two grading levels for those "little procedural things". Makes me crazy. This is a kid who can readily do computations a couple of grade levels ahead, but who is dysgraphic and has AS. He rarely understands what they want when they just say "explain your answer" or "show your work" on problems so simple for him that he does no conscious calculation. It's like being asked "What's your name? Show your work." to him. And then sometimes equations are fine to show work, but other times only written sentences in English will do, or drawings of little coins, etc., and the instructions generally do not specify. Or he'll write the answer as "5" instead of "5 apples", and get no credit for the numerically correct answer.
|Mon, 06-10-2013 - 11:13am
She actually does very well showing the steps to solving an equation. We've worked on that for years, and her algebra solutions are brilliant inverted pyramids stacked by their equals signs. We're struggling a bit in situations where an equation isn't presented as the starting point (say in 3D geometry or probability problems), because the first step she often writes down is the 3rd or 4th step. And yes, that business of "present your answer in the same format they present the question" is something she understands but often forgets to implement: leaves off the units, or forgets to write a concluding sentence.
We're doing okay the past couple of days, I think. We started working on exponents in more depth as a "break" from the Grade 8 stuff, and that's like a treat which she really enjoys. I think she's accepting the idea that the exam is still Plan A. We'll see how she feels on Thursday evening.
|Mon, 06-10-2013 - 8:01pm
It sounds like she has the math down well - it's the testing that's causing problems. Can you categorize the types of questions then model what the steps and answers should look like? Then pick a question style, practice it. Then another question style, practice it. Etc.
Sometimes for DS, it helps his confidence to know he's got part of things correct and the pieces he needs work on are actually pieces a child his age would not be able to do. Then we break it down as described above. It also helps when I point out what he's done right. The amount right is almost always overwhelmingly more than what he's done wrong. What he's done wrong is typically consistent throughout the exercise (quiz, test, etc.)
|Mon, 06-10-2013 - 10:43pm
It's hard to break it down by types of questions because the course is fairly conceptual and wide-ranging, and the problems aren't necessarily formulaic.
Your suggestion that I remind her that the attention to detail is beyond what would normally be considered developmentally appropriate for a kid her age is a good one. She knows that her math skills are fine, it's her exam skills that are in their infancy, and that's no wonder -- she just turned 10 and has been entirely unschooled!
She wrote a Spanish final exam today (also a first) and felt pretty good about her performance on it, so that's helped.
|Wed, 06-12-2013 - 11:58am
When I know it's only "fear of failure" holding back my kids from something they want, I will give a push. I tell them it's OK if they choose not to participate in whatever they are testing for (and they sometimes don't) but it's good to keep yourself eligible for the paths you are still considering a walk down. They are always happy and proud they followed through in the end.
She shouldn't be held back from a learning environment that attracts her because she isn't a skilled test taker yet. I'd at least have her finish the practice test before deciding against the real thing.
|Thu, 06-13-2013 - 11:30am
Well, it turns out she was mostly uptight about writing it with the class. Intro to Spanish with the big kids was one thing ... a mixed-grade class of kids learning Spanish from scratch together. Waltzing into Math 8 on exam day, having never been seen there before, none of the kids having any clue she was working at that level, being so much younger, seemed really awkward to her. And then the business of actually writing comprehensive math exam under time pressure ... she's never done a math test at her level in her life and it seemed like a high-pressure way to start. (She did some low-stakes 4th grade standardized testing a couple of months ago but that was so far below her level that it felt completely trivial.) If she'd been writing little math tests from 1st grade on up in a group format, to be marked by a teacher, this exam wouldn't seem so weirdly new and high stakes.
When the math teacher / family friend said "I could just make an extra copy of the test on Friday and your mom or Scott could give it to you on your own," she jumped at that opportunity. Scott is our homeschool liaison teacher, and she's going to write it in the homeschool classroom under his (casual) observation. She's totally cool with that.
We're still waiting to hear whether the 9th grade math teacher for next year is going to be the great teacher or the terrible one. Math 9 was apparently rather a disaster this year with the latter, who has been rarely assigned math classes due to having a similar track record. Fingers crossed for the good guy.

I'm late reading this and I'm glad. There was something about the testing that bothered me and I couldn't figure out exactly what. Your dd expressed it for me. I didn't like the idea of her having to go in and take a comprehensive math test--her very first one--with kids who had taken the class all year long, especially since she's just young enough to stand out. I know this is a nice school with a range of ages represented in the class but it still felt like a bit of a set up for her and maybe created an artificially high stakes feel. I really like the idea of her taking the test alone with the homeschool liaision teacher. I think she'll do beautifully. To clarify, I think she would have done beautifully in the other setting too, it just felt unnecessarily stressful.
Be sure she knows that the sloppy mistakes issue that you are describing is not uncommon among older students too, including the very brightest ones who do a lot of the work mentally.
|Fri, 06-14-2013 - 7:04pm
So, she did the exam at home, and it turned out to be a really lucky thing for two reasons.
First, it turned out to be a monster exam. This math teacher had never taught high school math before (she's a long-term sub for a teacher undergoing chemotherapy, and normally teaches elementary school plus high school art). By her own admission she made the exam way too long. Of the school students no one was close to done by the end of the exam block. She ended up giving everyone an extra hour to write, and then told them they were done, and she would just mark as far as they had completed, not taking marks off for incomplete work. Only one student actually finished. I think if my dd had seen that exam at the outset, knowing she only had two hours to finish, she would have freaked.
Secondly, my dd wanted to talk all-the-freaking-way through working on the exam. "Look, I'm getting really good at square root signs." "Argh, I should probably show the other step." "Where's that stupid eraser?" "Weird order for the questions." "It should say you have to assume the kite string goes to the ground, 'cause they don't tell you how tall the guy is." "Look, this indent is wrong." "Oops, I did a, c, e, then b, d, f. Haha! It doesn't matter." "Hmpph, I hate when I do that." "Three marks for this question? Why?" "I'm gonna do this one on a separate sheet." "Oh look, my 8's are so awesomely pretty today!"
I left the living room for a while to see if it would shush her up but she called me back because it was too quiet without someone to talk towards, and she needed to talk to keep concentrating. Did she want music on? "No, too distracting. Just be here so I can talk." Funny kid.
Because I'd been forwarned to give her lots of extra time, I had her do the first half last night and the rest today and just take as much time as she needed. All told it took about 3.5 hours, but she finished. I dropped it off for marking and just got an email from the homeschool teacher:
"I marked her Math and she scored 99%, 129/133 on the exam + 3/3 for the bonus question for 132/133.
"In Spanish she tied for the highest mark in the class with a 97%. Muy bien trabajo!!
"I do find it strange to be assessing her against the grade 4 expectations. I'll talk to Terry regarding grade-skip logistics from the DL perspective but in my opinion she should be placed ahead to wherever she feels comfortable. She certainly has had no trouble mastering grade 8 subjects. We can discuss it further next week."
Dd is SO happy about her results. This is the first time she's sort of held herself up to external benchmarks. She worked diligently and organized her work well. She is also really happpy about the suggestion of a grade-skip. It won't mean anything much for next year, as she'll continue homeschooling, but if/when she decides to go to school, that would make it much easier to get appropriate challenge.

So you've decided that your home automation dreams are more complex than what you can pull off with your own toolbox. That's OK; there are lots of home integrators, or electronic systems contractors, all over the country skilled at designing and installing control systems of all levels.
You should take as much care when choosing the person or company to install your automation and entertainment system as you'd take when choosing someone to remodel your bathroom or install new kitchen cabinets. You want to make sure your integrators are professional, experienced and focused on your satisfaction.
First, don't necessarily shop by brand or product. You may have specific systems in mind, but be open to the designer's suggestions. Many of the top manufacturers in the home automation industry are not exactly well-known household names, so depend on the professionals to know the most reliable products. Plus, remember that you're purchasing an experience, not a product. Something that sounds impressive in a review may not be perfect for your home or lifestyle. A professional system integrator will know the strengths and weaknesses of many kinds of systems.
One of the best ways to look for an installer is to ask around. There's a pretty good chance that someone in your neighborhood or workplace has had a project done. Ask how the friend liked the purchasing and installation process. Did the installer follow up after the job was complete? Was any fine tuning necessary to the programming, and was the integrated willing to do that? Has the system lived up to the owner's expectations? Has the installer had any projects profiled in enthusiast magazines on won any industry awards?
Ask the system designer if the system you're interested in is expandable. Often homeowners don't really know what they want a system to do until after they've lived with it for a while. Your needs may change, your family may grow and new technologies may emerge that you want to integrate into your home. Pick a system that can be built upon and an installer you can depend on to support you as your needs grow.
Ask about certifications. There are several certifications your installer may have earned, including certifications from Eletronic Systems Professional Alliance (ESPA), Custom Electronic Design and Installation Association (CEDIA) and Computer Technology Industry Association (CompTIA).
Make sure you check your installers' references and look for a history of successful jobs. While every installer has to start somewhere, you don't want your home to be the place where he or she starts. A quality installer will happily supply a list of references, show you a portfolio of work and answer any questions you may have. When checking references, ask if the company completed the job on time and on budget, if the system worked as promised and if the company quickly responds to service issues.
If you don't know of any local electronic system contractors, CEA has an excellent integrator search tool.

Yes. That bush.
I feel like pubic hair is not really worth drawing much attention to. In fact the less noticeable it is, the better. That's not to say you should book an appointment with Svetlana and ask for the Telly Savales, it just means that the hair down there isn't exactly Pantene Pro-V status.
For those of you who are looking for something a little more exciting than your average run-of-the-mill full bikini wax, consider dying yours a vibrant shade of pink or blue. I can see doing this for my own personal amusement, you know, dropping the towel and pointing and laughing at my own vagina like the kid in elementary school who tried to style their own hair with a pair of garden sheers. However, for intimate purposes, I can't help but imagine my hypothetical partner stumbling upon a tuft of blue pubic hair and feeling as though he was getting intimate with Bozo the clown.
I will admit, that I find waxing absolutely excruciating, so if this becomes popular, I'm trading in Brazilians for some hot pink hair down there.
Would you guys try this? How about pubic jewels, Vajazzles?! Has anyone tried this trend?
Check it out for yourself at Betty Beauty, whose product has been mentioned in a number of different fashion, style and beauty magazines.

When Rural Metro firefighters arrived on scene Tuseday night the mobile home on the corner of Marble Drive and Quartz Avenue in the Foothills was fully engulfed. As firefighters began fighting the blaze there was a distinct sound of a gas line leaking. The crew stayed on scene until around 2 a.m to make sure the fire was out and gas was not leaking.
Although neighbors were not evacuated from the area they were told to stay back. The 90 year-old homeowner was rescued by neighbors who brought him out safely and uninjured.
One day later the man's home is a large pile of burnt debris. He lost everything. Luckily, the fire did not spread to any other home in the area. The elderly man is now receiving aid from the American Red Cross in Yuma. "What we do now when there's a late fire or a late incident and the individual doesn't have anywhere to go we usually put them in a hotel room," said Andretta Schillinger with the American Red Cross in Yuma.
Andretta says she spoke to the elderly man who is shaken up by the incident. "He was just concerned that there wouldn't be support for him and we have also referred him to other agencies in the community to help him beyond what Red Cross can do," said Andrettta.

Google in USAToday: The Search Engine that Could
Jefferson Graham writes about Google in today's USAToday.
A history, overview, behind-the-scenes article, we also get a bit about libraries:
Everett Ward, assistant director of the Salt Lake City library, says the danger in researchers relying so much on Google and online information is that much of it is unsourced and inaccurate. "One of the problems with online searching is trying to understand the credibility and authority of what they're looking at. Google sends you everything. People still come to the library to research, not because they can't find it online, but they're finding too much."
Librarians.... this is our job: to teach library users how to tell what's good information and what's not so useful! That was part of my talk at Kendallville -- evaluating web information. It was also a module of my book . And it's also all over the web in some really good documents we can search.

Max and Patti Atnip
On WCTE-TV's first broadcast day, Max Atnip's best friend's father was a director for the Upper Cumberland Broadcast Council, the governing body for our PBS station. That immediately gave him a connection and he was "crisply" aware of the station's mission. He's been promoting WCTE ever since.
Today Max and his wife Patti run a successful chiropractic practice in Cookeville. Max's dad and uncle were also chiropractors, and his brother and first cousin currently practice chiropractic in Smithville and Livingston. As a family, they've been serving the Upper Cumberland for over 65 years.
Max is also the Vice Chairman in that very same Upper Cumberland Broadcast Council. He faithfully serves on the Council because he believes that "we provide the Upper Cumberland with a venue for OUR people to produce information about OUR communities. We are as good as a second arm to organizations like the Chamber of Commerce because we are encouraging people to become more aware of the Upper Cumberland."
Their three children used to love to watch the children's programming on WCTE. "They watched Mr. Roger's Neighborhood, Sesame Street, Clifford and Thomas The Train," said Patti. "We recently took our grandson to Nashville to a model train expo and they had a Thomas The Train ride. So now there is another generation that has come around and is exposed to this wonderful station and its children's programs. "Plus, WCTE has the Stations of Imagination at Cookeville's Fall Fun Fest and we've taken our grandson the last two times."
'I like the fact that you can always turn to WCTE and find something educational and informational and entertaining,'" said Patti. "Whether it's Great Performances, This Old House, The Antiques Road Show, something creative with arts and crafts or something about nature – there is just something for everyone!"

Anonymous street artist JR was awarded a $100,000 TED Prize this week for his impressive public art endeavors. JR makes intensely large photographs, which he then wheat pastes into a variety of locales, transforming his surroundings. The photo above is from an installation he did in Rio de Janiero, Brazil. After the jump, check out a video of the artist's "Women Are Heroes" work, which was pasted up in Paris, and features blown-up images of women during wartime.

Light Up The Night
The strange thing about sports facilities–tennis and basketball courts, ball fields, soccer pitches, and others–is that we don't often think of them as energy-hogging areas.
And generally, they're not, unless we're talking about a professional-level stadium for baseball, football, etc., which has electronic scoreboards, P.A. systems, concessions, Wi-Fi, and more. In fact, the energy expended in a local or recreational-level facility is mainly that of the athletes.
Unless the facilities are lit for night play, that is.
While lighting can increase the playing day and allow a facility to accommodate more games (resulting in a better economic benefit for the owner), it can also create higher bills and quite a few concerns about eco-sensitivity.
At the same time, lighting increases the security of the facility (helping protect it against vandalism) and, more importantly, increases the safety of the user in avoiding unnecessary risk and injury.
Many products claim to help users save money, go green, and stay safe. The trouble is that buying into all of the suggestions at once can lead to costs that multiply exponentially without restraint. So how can a facility achieve balance?
Alex Levitsky of Global Sports & Tennis Design Group LLC in Fair Haven, N.J., says it's often a matter of capitalizing on an all-important (yet sometimes under-utilized) natural resource: common sense.
It's easy to be overwhelmed with the options available on the market and easier still to go into sticker shock when envisioning doing everything at once, particularly retrofitting a facility. But there's good news, according to Levitsky: "well-designed facilities by responsible professionals are likely to be eco-friendly by default."
They might cost more initially, but they'll pay dividends in lower energy bills, good will, and saving the earth's resources.
Doing The Math
Obtaining the correct information on your sports facility's electric needs means taking a thorough look at what you're currently using. The facility may be consuming more than you need. The statistics, after all, speak for themselves.
"Lighting accounts for 20 to 25 percent of the annual electricity usage in the United States," notes Bruce Frasure of LSI Courtsider Sports Lighting in Cincinnati, Ohio.
"For court sports (tennis, basketball, volleyball, etc.) the proper lighting system can be designed to be eco-friendly through energy-efficiency. Since lighting is a major contributor to a court facility's overall energy usage, it is important to focus on fixture efficiency. Using the most efficient light fixtures can translate into fewer fixtures, which translates into less power consumption, which means less adverse impact on the environment as a whole.

Taking its popular Privilege rooms and services category to the next level, Ocean by H10 Hotels has introduced enhanced "Privilege a la Carte" services for guests at its luxury beachfront resorts in the Caribbean.
Beginning in January, 2013, guests who reserve Privilege Junior Suites and other suites at three hotels in Punta Cana, and Riviera Maya will be offered the opportunity to pre-select before arrival to the resort items such as room location, mini bar snacks and beverages, and their choice of pillow type, through its Privilege a la Carte program.
Prior to arrival, Privilege guests may submit their personalized requests to Privilege Guest Services via the resort website. Nine a la carte service selections will be available including:
1. Room location (high or ground floor, for example) in accordance with room type reserved
2. Advance reservations at a la carte specialty restaurants on evenings of choice
3. Menu choices for in-room breakfast service the day after arrival at the resort
4. Mini bar beverages and snacks selections

6. Preferred pillow type (goose feather, firm, soft, orthopedic)
7. VIK (Very Important Kid) age-appropriate preferences
8. Advance reservations for spa treatments and services

"We are pleased to be enhancing our Privilege services by offering pre-arrival 'Privilege a la Carte' personalized services to our valued clientele, and in particular to our repeat guests who return to experience these specialized services," said Oscar Serrano, Vice President of Sales & Marketing for Ocean by H10 Hotels. "Following the introduction of Privilege rooms and services three years ago, we continue to strive towards exceeding each guests' expectations by implementing the highest standards and delivering the ultimate vacation experience. This is the next phase of our highly regarded Privilege rooms and services."
Privilege a la Carte is a complimentary service that makes Ocean's Privilege rooms and services option the most exclusive vacation experience in its class. Privilege rooms and services feature premium rooms with preferential locations, and a selection of services to individualize a guests' stay and create the perfect Caribbean vacation experience.
With Privilege, guests also enjoy a host of services and amenities, including premium rooms with preferential location and private balcony terrace; free wired internet connection in room; Privilege welcome gift; welcome bottle of wine or selection by the chef; beds with top-grade linens and pillow-top; pillow menu and daily turn-down service; bathrobes and slippers; LCD TV with international channels; DVD player and selection of films (available upon request); alarm clock with iPod docking station; coffee maker; iron and ironing board.

Privilege a la Carte is available at Ocean by H10 Hotels in the Caribbean, including Ocean Coral & Turquesa in Puerto Morelos and Ocean Maya Royale in Playa del Carmen, Mexico; and Ocean Blue & Sand in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. All three Ocean by H10 Hotels are all-inclusive five-star beachfront resorts in the Caribbean region. Privilege a la Carte is not available at the new Ocean Varadero El Patriarca, Ocean's newest five-star beach resort in Varadero Beach, Cuba.
The Ocean Coral&Turquesa hotel received the Condé Nast Traveler 2009 award for the best international resort. The readers of the Spanish edition of this prestigious travel magazine voted the Ocean Coral&Turquesa hotel the best international resort from a list of finalists that featured a selection of the finest hotels from all over the world.
Gemma Espelt, H10 Hotels Marketing Director, picked up the award last Monday at the ceremony held in the Cecilio Rodríguez Gardens in Madrid's Retiro Park. The gala was attended by numerous representatives from the tourist sector and by well-known faces such as the actress Aitana Sánchez Gijón, the television personalities Ana García Siñeriz, Mercedes Milá and Paula Vázquez, the model Martina Klein or the singer Alaska.
The director of the magazine, Sandra del Río, highlighted the fact that it is very important that these awards are decided by the actual readers. "We can regard them as the Oscars of the travel business, and the category of the winners is proof that the readers are well aware of who they are voting for", she said.
The Ocean Coral&Turquesa, officially opened in December 2007, is a five-star sea-front resort in Puerto Morelos, on the Riviera Maya. The resort stands in an unbeatable location along the beach, which means that all its rooms have spectacular sea views. Moreover, it boasts an outstanding contemporary interior design, topped off by local details, and its spacious and well-lit rooms decorated with modern furniture, four exclusive à la carte restaurants, a beach restaurant, terraces, a chill-out lounge bar facing the sea and fully-equipped spa have made the hotel one of the reference spots for travellers to the Riviera Maya.

There are 3 different branches of law. These are:
- Criminal law – this could be any kind of violation of the rules and regulations set out within the UK.
- Civil law – this is often personal injury, divorce and family disputes.
- Administrative law – this is breach of laws of administrative agencies.
Criminal law is a vast spectrum of laws and legislation drawn up to correctly penalise someone who is suspected of committing a wrongful act. It also lays out the rules in regards to charging, trying, sentencing and imprisonment where necessary. Criminal law may be associated with thieves and murderers but it actually reaches out to many areas of everyday life. Different crimes are classified by the severity of the act of crime. Some elements of the criminal justice system are:
- fraud – planning to gain or cause loss through deception
- domestic abuse – either physical violence or threat of violence
- cybercrime
- all forms of theft
- road traffic offences.
An act is made a criminal offence and determined as a crime when certain actions are deemed as dangerous and damaging to society as a whole. Once an act has been classed as a crime, a suitable punishment, or set of punishments, can be laid out as to penalise someone when necessary.
Areas of Criminal Law
Within criminal law come 3 different sections that simplify and determine in what way things should be dealt with. The 3 sections are:
Substantive criminal law
Substantive criminal law determines:
- the classification of a crime
- the manner in which the case is handled
- how the criminal should be penalised
- which courts are most suitable to deal with the case at hand.
Criminal procedure
This section of criminal law lays out the laws on:
- searching a suspected criminal
- warrant for arrest
- seizure of evidence
- approaching and questioning witnesses
- constitution rights
- the rights of appeal.
Enforcement of criminal justice
This is the assessment of information gathered from the previous sections on the case and is used to enforce a correct decision on the punishment that should be administered. Some crimes are of course more minor than others, so within criminal law there are different levels of penalty. This could be:
- restitution – paying for damages caused by the act
- deterrence – short sentences and punishments given for lesser offences
- incapacitation – serious punishments given to criminal that are believed to be a danger to the public.

Sure, Sunday Emmy winners The Sopranos, Arrested Development, and Angels in America are great TV, but how many people have actually watched them? HBO (home of Sopranos and Angels) reaches only a third of U.S. homes, and Fox's Arrested has spent its first year struggling to draw an audience. So it's little wonder that few viewers cared enough to watch these shows pick up trophies on Sunday. According to early Nielsen estimates, ABC's reality-themed Emmy broadcast drew just 14 million viewers, down 20 percent from last year, when Fox aired the show. In fact, it's the lowest rating for the awards ceremony since 1990, when just 12.3 million viewers watched.
That year, the show also aired on Fox, a then-new network that few viewers were in the habit of watching. This year, it's ABC that few viewers are in the habit of watching. The network came in second for the evening opposite CBS, which ran a slate of crime-drama reruns. Next year, when it's CBS' turn to air the Emmys, maybe instead of the reality theme, they'll just call the show CSI: Shrine Auditorium.

I changed the company that supplies my MS Volume back in January and have just this week got it through.
They sent me a nice shiny CD wallet with a huge pack of CD's and dividers which will keep me happy for a while but the agreement on the website doesn't look like the other one and I can't find documentation about it
First off it says that the Agreement type is Enrollment whereas it used to say Agreement. Do you think this means that my no orders have been attached to the agreement yet?
Also there doesn't seem to be any product key which I presume relates to the above problems.
MS seem to be very very slow when it comes to this.

Companies Mentioned
Toronto, ON / ACCESSWIRE / March 26 2014 / Chilean Metals Inc. ("Chilean Metals" or the "Company") (TSX.V:CMX), is pleased to announce it intends to complete a non-brokered private placement on a best efforts basis of up to 12,000,000 units, each unit consisting of one common share and one half of a common share purchase warrant ("Unit") at a price of $0.10 per Unit for total gross proceeds of up to $1,200,000 (the "Offering") subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval. Each whole common share purchase warrant ("Warrant") shall entitle the holder to acquire one common share of the Company at a price of $0.15 per share for a period of 12 months following the date of closing of the Offering.
"We had indicated that after we closed the sale of Copaquire that we would do this financing to provide working capital for our 2014 plans. We expect many of the debenture holders who have been repaid with a portion of the proceeds of the Copaquire sale to participate along with current and some new shareholders and we would expect to close this offering in April 2014 subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. Our immediate next step is to continue to explore our 100% owned Tierra De Oro ("TDO") property. Historically we have spent over $5 million on exploring numerous gold veins on the property, but not on exploration for more economically-significant IOCG (iron oxide-copper-gold) deposits. Our VP of Exploration Chris Hodgson, has reviewed previous exploration data and identified three large, untested and near-surface IOCG targets on TDO. Chris is now onsite in Chile reviewing technical details and meeting with interested parties. Discussions are ongoing with potential joint venture partners on a farm-out deal that we expect will lead to additional drilling on the project later this year" commented CEO Terry Lynch
Chilean Metals Inc. owns six 100%-owned properties comprising over 50,000 acres strategically located in the prolific IOCG ("Iron oxide-copper-gold") belt of Chile. Three of these projects are under review by third parties for possible purchase or joint venture.

BasicsThe valley gained renown as Idaho Territory's most progressive, due to the prosperity of the gold, silver and lead mines in the late 19th century. Not as prominent, but equally important to the valley was the sheep industry. Millions of sheep were raised and trailed through here. Jump to 1936, when the Chairman of the board of the Union Pacific Railroad established the U.S.'s first ski resort. You can visit the world's first chair lift along a hike on Proctor Mountain, or visit the Ski and Heritage Museum for the bigger picture. The Sun Valley Resort was so highly publicized that Hollywood celebrities flocked in. It's still known as a haven for the stars, but more people come for the recreation than the 'star' gazing.
Getting around in the Wood River ValleyThe Wood River Trail system (WRT) is a paved multi-use pathway with 20+ miles of trails connecting Bellevue, Hailey, Ketchum and Sun Valley. The trail follows the Big Wood River, meanders through natural and cultivated fields, and adjacent to breathtaking vacation homes. The WRT has a self-guided Historical Tour with interpretive markers that tell of the area's vivid past.
Mountain Rides is the public bus system that runs in the valley and within each community. One-way fares are only $3 and you can take your bike on the bus.
If you are looking for a cycling challenge, a popular ride for the locals is a 30 miles climb to the top of Galena Summit. If you choose to take this 3,500 ft. climb be sure and stop at the Galena Lodge on the way down for a sweet treat, cold beverage of other delectable.
Things to do in the Wood River ValleyHailey, Ketchum, Sun Valley
Recreation - Hiking, mountain biking, kayaking, fishing and world-class fly fishing, year-round ice skating, golfing and much, much more awaits you.
Other destinations - museums, a wide variety of shops (apparel, antiques, personal care, home décor - you name it, they've got it), restaurants and cafés of every scale and cuisine, theatrical and musical performing houses.

The Cuisinart GR-4 Griddler is a good addition to the kitchen of a busy household. It is small and takes little counter/storage space, although I hope future models incorporate the locking mechanism which would allow you to store it on its side. It is very efficient when closed to grill meat, chicken, fish and sandwiches but when opened flat as a griddle I found it too slow too fry eggs and have reverted to a frying pan for convenience. I like the under the grill drip pan which is locked in place, thus avoiding accidental spills. Although labelled dishwasher safe, the corrosive nature of most dishwasher soaps might shorten the life of the stick-free surface and so I prefer to wash it by hand- so easy to do. Bottom line, a good product.
Awesome kitchen appliance. Sandwiches, steaks, pork chops, bacon, ham, eggs, grilled veggies, hash browns. Endless choices. Clean up is a breeze. Makes cooking fun. Thanks Overstock and Cuisinart. Received product Pronto!!! Happy with the service.
I bought one for myself and loved it so much I got another one for my mother in law as a Christmas gift.
Easy to use and clean. Makes grilling easy and cool, as I live in Southeast Texas where it is hot and humid.Chicken cooked on the machine comes out tender and moist. Love it!
This is an excellent griddle. Exactly what we were looking for. We have had it for only 2 weeks and have already made paninis, grilled cheese, quesadillas, etc. It's easy to use and simple to clean as well which is my favorite part of this griddle. Highly recommend.
. . . the grill plates are held in by plastic! After 6 months of use, they melted, rendering the grill useless. At $$$, I figure it cost me $-$. per use! Replacements are over $$$! Clips should be redesigned and made of metal or heavy duty thermal-plastic. If it were not for the clip problem, I would rate this * * * * *.
I've used this product for a month and couldn't be happier.
I've wanted to buy a panini press for a while, and mainly my only criteria was that the plates be removable for cleaning. When I came across the Cuisinart GR-4 Griddler, I knew it was exactly what I wanted. Not only are the plates removable for cleaning, but also reverse to a flat grill. I will most likely purchase the optional waffle iron accessory. So far, I have only used the Griddler as a panini press, but the results have been wonderful. My only complaint is that you have to sort of manually set the top of the press onto the top of the sandwich in order for it to be level. If you just lower the lid with the handle, it usually ends up at an angle, and cooks the sandwich unevenly, despite the floating hinges. This has to be done carefully, as the top of the unit gets VERY hot. But once you have it arranged properly, pure deliciousness! Extremely easy to clean. The plates can just be wiped off if not too dirty, or popped off to wash, and both removal and replacement couldn't be easier. I would definately recommend this to anyone who is going to be serious about making panini sandwiches!
We've had this for about three weeks and we love it. Gets nice and hot real quick. The griddle size is perfect and the removable plates are a nice feature and makes cleanup a breeze.

Spencer's starting to catch on to Ezra's shenAnigAns — but will anyone believe the insane accusations of a newly minted pill popper?
I'm not going to lie, it's been a little frustrating watching the girls run around like chickens with their heads cut off, totally unaware that Ezra (Ian Harding) is the mastermind behind all of their suffering; and that's why I loved the Jan. 28 episode of Pretty Little Liars, as Spencer (Troian Bellisario) started to finally connect the dots!
Not only did Spencer figure out that Ezra and Alison (Sasha Pieterse) used to hook up — words can't describe how awkward it was watching them kiss this week — but thanks to several key clues in Ali's journal, she also discovered Ezra's beer of choice: Board Shorts! Seriously, I don't think I've let out an audible gasp like that since we first discovered Ezra's "A" connection. This isn't just big, people; this is HUGE!
Unfortunately, when Spencer wasn't cracking the Ezra mystery, she was developing a nasty little caffeine pill problem, courtesy of Andrew (Brandon W. Jones). And while I wasn't at all unhappy to see everyone's favorite hot nerd back on the show, I can't help but worry about Spencer's future. She may be gathering the evidence, but will anyone believe her when they see what she's on?
Hanna's Dental Damage
Moving on to Hanna (Ashley Benson) for a minute… What is she thinking?! She spent the episode making nice with Detective Holbrook (Sean Faris), which I normally wouldn't discourage right off the bat — come on, just look at him! — but we all know that law enforcement officials on this show are not to be trusted.
Honestly, if I wasn't so positive of Ezra's wicked ways, I'd suspect Detective Holbrook of drugging Hanna at the dentist and stealing Ali's dental records. (Come to think of it, could they be working… together?)
One Of Us! One Of Us!
And then there's Aria (Lucy Hale), who may or may not be heading straight into a pretty little cult. After learning that Mike (Cody Christian) and Mona (Janel Parrish) have been spending too much time together — seriously, any time is too much time — she did some digging into the school group they've both been attending.
It turns out it's headed by a creepy-yet-dashing guidance counselor named Jesse (Wes Ramsey), and he's interested in speaking with Aria further. Personally, I'd prefer he speak with Aria's mom (Holly Marie Combs), so we can have ourselves a full-on Charmed reunion!
HollywoodLifers, was your mind blown over this week's Board Shorts reveal? Are you as worried about Detective Holbrook as I am? Drop a comment with your thoughts, concerns, etc. below!

Even though everything that's happened. I still can't believe Ezra is after the girls, after all. Why couldn't Alison tell Emily or any of the girls that she dated Ezra? – she had chance after chance, and plus did Ezra come to town with it in mind to date Aria? – I don't know what to think at this point, but I know that next week I'd be ready with my drink and candy.

Local Government Health Insurance Program
Act 2014-401
Most county commissions provide health insurance coverage to employees through the Alabama Local Government Health Insurance Program, which was established by statute more than 20 years ago. The program is administered by the Alabama State Employees' Insurance Board without local government representation. In part as a result of the current uncertainty regarding compliance with the federal mandates for health insurance coverage, the Association urges the Alabama Legislature to establish a separate board to direct the operation of the local government program.
Business Personal Property Taxes
Act 2014-415
The Association supports legislation to streamline the business personal property taxation process by establishing an online system and/or short form for filing personal property tax returns, provided such system does not result in a reduction of local tax revenues generated from this ad valorem tax. The Association opposes any legislation that would provide a tax exemption or reduction in tax rate for business personal property taxes.
State Tax Refund Offset
Act 2014-321
The Association supports legislation that would allow counties the authority to offset a person's state income tax refund for payment of debts due to the local government such as delinquent solid waste fees or unpaid local taxes and fees.
Public Safety Communication
Act 2014-239
This act creates the crime of interfering with public safety communication if someone were to damage public safety communication equipment or otherwise interfere with a public safety telecommunication broadcast or transmission. The new law applies to 9-1-1.
EMA Donation
Act 2014-72
This act would allow the Alabama Emergency Management Agency to transfer equipment and other property to county emergency management agencies for their use.
Tax Levies
Act 2014-433
Under current law, county commissions are required to "levy" property taxes annually, even when rates do not change. This bill would require all counties to levy property taxes in 2015, and after that, commissions would only have to repeat that step if rates change. The legislation would also ratify all past levies.
Act 2014-431
Though counties initially did not support this bill, in its final form the legislation includes positive changes, including a provision ensuring that the Lifeline phones are subject to the statewide 9-1-1 service fee in Alabama.

Train for duty. Train for life.
Each day, members of the military face new and unexpected challenges as conditions, terrains, and situations are always changing, requiring various physical assets and skills to succeed and, sometimes, survive. EXOS takes great pride in training members of the military and helping prepare and preserve the military's most important asset—human capital.
EXOS' military programs maximize the physical assets tactical athletes need to be successful every day for every mission by building strength, power, speed, and agility, while increasing flexibility and mobility to decrease the potential for injury. Integrating training programs with supportive nutrition and recovery strategies support both non-duty and mission operations for peak performance.
EXOS' Tactical Military programs include the Intensive Restoration and Training program as well as Tactical Military Education courses.
Accelerated Return to Duty Program
When a professional athletes gets injured they have a team relying on them. The same is true for tactical athletes. Their team needs them to return to action and provide their knowledge, skills, and expertise. Just like our support of professional athletes, we're passionately dedicated to helping wounded warriors return to pain-free activity and high-intensity training so that they may continue to serve with their teams.
Built specifically for tactical athletes, the Accelerated Return to Duty program bridges the gap between rehabilitation therapy and intensive performance training. Working together with TRICARE medical teams, our specialists create personalized training, nutrition, and recovery strategies, providing athletes the opportunity to focus solely on their recovery and training.
The Accelerated Return to Duty program is also what drives the impact results of The Comeback Initiative, EXOS' program dedicated to supporting wounded and injured service members who are sponsored by collaborating charities.
"Since coming to EXOS, I've been able to perform and do things physically that I didn't think I'd be able to do again. Just becoming stronger, you have a sense of accomplishment that you've pushed past a plateau, and you're really satisfied day-in and day-out. Coming here allows you to return to the job that you're so passionate about."
—TSgt Marc Esposito
The Accelerated Return to Duty program includes:
- Performance Training — strength, power, speed and agility
- Physical Therapy — rehabilitation of current injuries and injury prevention strategies
- Performance Nutrition — personalized fueling and hydration plans to maximize performance
"Before coming here, I was barely able to jump, barely able to run. Since coming to Athletes' Performance six weeks ago, I'm running 15 minutes on a treadmill and running sprints on a field. Things I never thought I'd be doing a year out from my injuries. I definitely feel that coming here has changed my life for the better."
—Injured Special Forces soldier
If you're an injured tactical athlete, a team leader with injured soldiers, or a charitable organization dedicated to helping wounded warriors return to duty, contact us today to learn more about our Intensive Restoration and Training programs and The Comeback Initiative.
Tactical Military Education
EXOS is proud to offer specialized education opportunities for tactical athletes to help them best prepare themselves and their teams for peak physical performance. Based on EXOS' proven methodology fueled by scientific research and application, our education programs in performance training, rehabilitation and nutrition help tactical athletes learn how to best support themselves and their teams with an integrated industry-leading training system.

PODCAST: The Guggenheim Museum
The spiral-ramped wonder that is the Guggenheim Museum began as the dream of two colorful characters -- a severe German artist and her rich patron art-lover. So how did they convince the most famous architect in the world to sign on to their dream for a modern art "museum temple"? Come meander with us through the Guggenheim's quirky history. Co-starring Robert Moses!
Listen to it for free on iTunes or other podcasting services. Or you can download or listen to it HERE
Solomon Robert Guggenheim -- his love for artwork late in life culimated in one of the world's most impressive collection of modern art
"Yellow Red and Blue" by Vassily Kandinsky, a particular favorite of Solomon's who would end up owning over 120 paintings by the abstract artist.
The enigmatic Hilla Rebay, muse and adviser to Solomon and the original curator to what would become the Guggenheim Museum -- until she was unceremoniously dumped by the trustees after Solomon's death
"Squares", a work by Rudolf Bauer, whose relationship with Rebay and the Guggenheim would quickly sour
Photographer Alfred Eisenstaedt captures Frank Lloyd Wright in his final days, an iconic architect who would go out on top with the construction of the museum
During construction: the distinctive curves were created by essentially creating a plywood mold and having the concrete sprayed from the inside.
The museum, right before its opening in 1959. (Pic courtesy New York Magazine.)
Like a typical Wright creation, the museum seems both natural and alien at the same time. Natural light streams in at unusual angles.
Solomon, Hilla and Frank stand admiring a model of their future museum.
CORRECTION: In the podcast I incorrectly state that Wright had already built a house in Staten Island before getting the commission to build the Guggenheim. In fact, he was hired to build the private residence well after receiving the museum job. The home, called The Crimson Beech, is located in Lighthouse Hill. Apparently it leaks.

Entergy Nuclear Vermont Yankee, LLC et al v. Shumlin et al
Filing 132
ORDER granting 126 Motion in Limine to Preclude Expert Testimony Expressing Legal Conclusions. Signed by District Judge J. Garvan Murtha on 8/25/2011. (kak)
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF VERMONT : : : : Plaintiffs, : : v. : : PETER SHUMLIN, in his official capacity as : GOVERNOR OF THE STATE OF VERMONT; : WILLIAM SORRELL, in his official capacity as the : ATTORNEY GENERAL OF THE STATE OF : VERMONT; and JAMES VOLZ, JOHN BURKE : and DAVID COEN, in their official capacities as : MEMBERS of THE VERMONT PUBLIC : SERVICE BOARD, : : Defendants. : ________________________________________________: ENTERGY NUCLEAR VERMONT YANKEE, LLC and ENTERGY NUCLEAR OPERATIONS, INC., File No. 1:11-cv-99 (jgm) MEMORANDUM AND ORDER (Doc. 126) Plaintiffs seek to preclude Defendants from presenting expert testimony expressing legal conclusions as to the preemptive scope of the Atomic Energy Act, the purpose of the challenged Vermont statutes, and the contractual effect of a change in state law. (Doc. 126.) Defendants oppose the motion. (Doc. 129.) Trial on the merits is scheduled for September 12-14, 2011. A ruling on whether to admit expert testimony is within the discretion of the trial judge and will be set aside on appeal only if "manifestly erroneous." United States v. Duncan, 42 F.3d 97, 101 (2d Cir. 1994). Generally, expert testimony is admissible if it is helpful to the factfinder. Fed. R. Evid. 702. Expert testimony stating a legal conclusion, however, is inadmissible. See Duncan, 42 F.3d at 101. The Court declines to engage in a line-by-line review of Defendants' expert reports to rule on this motion. To aid the parties in conducting expert depositions, however, the Court notes it will not consider expert testimony on purely legal issues and does not expect to hear such testimony at trial. Ultimate legal issues are matters that counsel can and should argue to the Court -- such matters do not require the imprimatur of an "expert." Opining that state laws are not preempted is a legal conclusion and not helpful to the Court. However, use of the term "legitimate," or "reasonable," for example, does not automatically transform a statement into a legal conclusion. See, e.g., Doc. 126-4 (Hinkley Expert Report) at 9. The Court will hear testimony based on personal knowledge, experience in the nuclear industry, and research of legislative history but, as noted, the Court will not hear or rely upon opinions on ultimate legal issues to be determined by the Court. As the trial of this matter will be a bench trial, there will be no danger a jury might give too much credence to a legal expert. Should an expert attempt to offer purely legal conclusions at trial, the Court will hear and rule on objections. As Defendants represent their experts will not offer testimony consisting of legal conclusions, see Doc. 129 at 7, Plaintiffs' motion in limine (Doc. 126) is GRANTED. SO ORDERED. Dated at Brattleboro, in the District of Vermont, this 25th day of August, 2011. /s/ J. Garvan Murtha Hon. J. Garvan Murtha United States District Judge 2

This section of the website is devoted to an informal description of the intradisciplinary methodologies of topos-theoretic nature which I have eleborated since the beginning of my Ph.D. studies with the purpose of 'unifying' different mathematical theories with each other. For a more formal overview of these methods, as well as of the view on which they are based, please refer to this paper.
A non-technical introduction to the concept of unification and its different incarnations in Mathematics.
A brief excursus into the history of Categorical Logic, with a particular emphasis on the notion of classifying topos and the relationship between the concept of Grothendieck topos and that of elementary topos.
A non-technical explanation of the view 'toposes as bridges' on which the unifying theory is based.
A collection of metaphors and analogies for the non-specialist reader which can help illuminate the philosphical meaning of the unifying methodologies.
A brief technical description of the unifying methodologies in the language of Topos Theory.
A selection of topos-theoretic 'bridges' belonging to different fields of Mathematics which I have established in the course of my research work.
A brief description of the research programme based on the unifying theory which I intend to pursue in the next years.
A discussion on the level of generality and scope of applicability of the 'bridge-building' techniques, both in Mathematics and in other subjects, together with a set of indications of future research directions which could contribute to a further development of the unification programme.
My answers to the questions or comments on the unification programme that I most frequently receive from colleagues and interested people.
A few indications for further reading relevant to the unifying theory described in the sections above.

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.
