The State Route 132 West
Freeway/Expressway Project
Project Fact Sheet
Project Description:
The State Route 132 (SR 132) West Freeway/Expressway Project (SR 132 West) proposes to construct a four-lane freeway/expressway on a new alignment in Stanislaus County and in the City of Modesto from State Route 99 (SR 99) just south of Kansas Avenue west to near Dakota Avenue. The project proposes to implement either of the two build alternatives (Alternative 1 and Alternative 2) or a No-Build Alternative. Both build alternatives would construct a new four-lane, freeway/expressway from Dakota Avenue on the west end of the project to east of SR 99 at the Needham Street Overcrossing Bridge on the east end of the project. The major differences between Alternative 1 and Alternative 2 would involve the construction of a southbound SR 99 Needham Street off-ramp (Alternative 1) compared to the reconstruction of a southbound SR 99 Kansas Avenue off-ramp (Alternative 2). Under the No-Build Alternative, existing SR 132 (Maze Boulevard) would remain a two-lane, conventional highway.
SR 132 West improvements include providing freeway to freeway branch connections from and to SR 99 and a portion of the ultimate freeway corridor west of SR 99, as well as proposed direct connection from SR 132 to Needham Street overhead connecting to downtown Modesto. The Needham Street connection requires a new public road connection approval by the California Transportation Commission. In addition to the primary project elements, construction of the project proposes to encapsulate approximately 160,000 cubic yards of contaminated soil near the SR 132/SR 99 interchange. The soil was generated during excavation of industrial property that was purchased to construct the Modesto bypass during the 1960s. Contaminants in the soil include barium, strontium, and lead. The contaminated soil is within three soil stockpiles that exist in Caltrans right-of-way south of Kansas Avenue and within the proposed location for the project.
Purpose and Need:
The purpose of the project is to improve regional and interregional circulation, relieve traffic congestion along existing SR 132 (Maze Boulevard) and enhance safety and operations for the existing and proposed transportation network. Motorists are experiencing a high level of congestion due to the limitations of the existing facilities, as well as an increase in interregional commuter and truck traffic. Also, the connectivity of SR 99 and SR 132 requires travel through residential and commercial areas of Modesto. Additionally, uncontrolled access to schools, churches, businesses, and residences along this roadway add to the slow moving traffic and increase the potential for conflicts between bikes, pedestrians, and vehicles. Existing SR 132 (Maze Boulevard) within the project limits exhibits accident rates higher than the statewide average for similar highways.
The project proposes to improve two vital transportation corridors within Stanislaus County, existing SR 132 (Maze Boulevard) and SR 99. Existing SR 132 (Maze Boulevard) is part of the regional expressway system and is the primary east-west corridor in Stanislaus County. The two-lane, conventional highway provides interregional connection between Interstate 5 near the City of Tracy to the west and SR 99 in Modesto to the east. Existing SR 132 (Maze Boulevard) is the only east-west highway with access across the Tuolumne, San Joaquin, and Stanislaus rivers from Modesto. As such, SR 132 has increasingly served the San Joaquin Valley and has become a major truck route between Interstate 5 and SR 99.
In 1956, the proposed freeway corridor for SR 132 was adopted by the State with resolutions of support from Stanislaus County and the City of Modesto. In 1958, the State allocated funds for right of way and proceeded with the acquisition of all but a few parcels. Caltrans in conjunction with local agencies prepared three Project Study Reports (PSR) (in 1991, 1993, and 1997) to determine alternatives for consideration. From 1998 to 2003 efforts were made to achieve consensus on a buildable segment and progressed to a Value Analysis Study. Later in 2003, the project was placed on hold after it was determined that there was a need to complete additional system traffic planning studies to resolve the SR 132 West and SR 132 East connectivity concerns. In 2008, Stanislaus Council of Governments (StanCOG) completed the Feasibility Study for the SR 132 East/West Connectivity Project in which various SR 132 improvements were identified to improve east-west connectivity in Modesto, which included several components of prior studies and evaluations. In 2009 StanCOG completed a local Project Initiation Document, which established the project scope for use in planning the next formal studies for the Project Approval and Environmental Document (PA&ED) Phase.
Funding Source:
The project would consist of two construction phases: the initial construction phase and the ultimate build out. The initial construction phase is anticipated to begin in 2016 and be completed within 12 to 15 months. The ultimate build out is expected to be completed by 2028.
The initial construction phase proposes to construct general purpose lanes from Dakota Avenue to SR 99. The initial construction phase would also include construction of the SR 132 and North Carpenter Road interchange (to include the eastbound SR 132 off-ramp and the westbound SR 132 on-ramp), the SR 132 West/6th Street and SR 132/5th Street extensions, and various other improvements. Encapsulation of the soil stockpiles, as described in the Remedial Action Plan, will occur primarily within the initial construction phase.
The ultimate build out would complete the SR 99 improvements, construct direct-connector ramps, and incorporate necessary structures to accommodate the SR 132/SR 99 interchange.
Caltrans is the lead agency under the California Environmental Quality Act and the National Environmental Policy Act, and is working in cooperation with StanCOG, the City of Modesto, Stanislaus County, and the California Department of Toxic Substances Control. The anticipated cost of the ultimate project is $140 - $170 million. A combination of federal, state and local funds is secured for the initial construction phase.

Ditka is considering a run for Senate and he met Tuesday night with state GOP chairwoman Judy Baar Topinka and Senator George Allen of Virginia.
Allen is chairman of the Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee, which is a key source of funds for GOP Senate candidates.
Allen's father was defensive coordinator of the 1963 NFL champion Chicago Bears, a team on which Ditka starred as a tight end. The senator says his father had been instrumental in signing Ditka with the Bears.
Allen says he's known Ditka for years and considers him "a very good friend."
Ditka met with GOP leaders as he mulls efforts to draft him into the race against Democrat Barack Obama.

Spiced Snowflake Cookies - Christmas Cookalong
The first recipe was a doddle thanks to the super duper dough hook on the Chef... last year I had to knead the dough until my poor arm nearly dropped off, so I was delighted with the easiness of it all. I have a set of absolutely gorgeous Snowflake cookie cutters, which I know Like Mam Used To Bake has as well, so there was an array of very relevant cookies cut out of the dough. They disappeared much quicker than the foot of snow outside too! I used two types of icing for these cookies - a ready rolled Dr. Oetker Regal Ice icing and some liquid Royal Icing which I piped onto the cookies. I also had a box of edible paper snowflakes which I found in Avoca the other week & was itching to use (because I'm a big child with no patience...). Oh, and to make the coloured dots, I used Dr. Oetker Easy Writer Pens, just in case you're interested.
Spiced Snowflake Cookies
50g Butter
100g Golden Caster Sugar
100g Runny Honey
225g Plain Flour
1/2 tsp Baking Powder
1/2 tsp Bicarbonate of Soda
1 tsp Ground Ginger
1 tsp Ground Cinnamon (or 2 tsp Allspice if that's all you have)
1/2 of a beaten egg
In a pot, heat the butter, sugar & honey together, stirring until melted & smooth. Remove from the heat.
In a mixer with a dough hook, put all the dry ingredients into the bowl, add the melted butter, honey & sugar & mix for a minute.
Add in the half (yes, just half) egg & let the dough hook work its magic for 4-5 minutes until the mixture has turned into a smooth & shiny dough.
Now wrap the mixture in clingfilm & chill in the fridge for at least a few hours until cold.
When you're ready to use the dough, heat your oven to 160c/Gas Mark 4 and line two large cookie sheets with baking parchment.
On a floured surface, roll out the dough until it's about 2mm thin and cut out shapes with your cookie cutters. Make sure to dust the dough well with flour otherwise it's going to stick to everything... trust me, I've done it.
Place the shapes about 2cm apart & bake for 8-10 minutes until golden. I'd suggest you check the cookies after 8 minutes & keep an eye on them as they change from golden to mahogany very quickly.
Allow to cool for 10 minutes on the sheet before transferring to a cooling rack - let them go completely cold before attempting to ice them or they'll go soggy.
This quantity made about 40 cookies of various sizes which I then decorated to make them even more appealing!. Un-iced, they will keep for a month in an airtight container for those with lots of willpower. This also means you can bake them in advance and decorate them just before you need them.
These will form part of my Christmas Present Parcel for my very lucky friends & relatives (you know who you are xxx)
6 comments:
These are gorgeous! Where did you get the cookie cutters? It's a bit late for me now, but these would make beautiful gifts next year.ReplyDelete
They look so pretty!ReplyDelete
I got them in TK Maxx- home of all the best baking oddities. I'm also planning to turn a batch of these into a Christmas Tree for my niece with my set of star cuttersReplyDelete
Drat, I was just over by a TK Maxx this afternoon. I'll have to make another trip to see if I can find them.ReplyDelete
Hi Babaduck,ReplyDelete
Would you be able to make this receipe if you didn't have a mixer to make the dough?Would it turn out the same?
Catriona - it will take a bit of elbow grease to get the mixture glossy (if you've ever made choux pastry, you'll be well able for this!) but you can certainly do it by hand. I'm inherently lazy & have a dodgy shoulder, so I use my mixer as often as possible!!!ReplyDelete

The master's degree program in chemistry is designed to meet the needs of students with diverse goals. It is ideal for working professionals who wish to augment their career, and for students who are considering pursuing Ph.D. program elsewhere after successfully completing their master's degree at Villanova. Courses are offered in the evening and students may pursue either a full- or part-time schedule. Classes are taught by full-time faculty or scientists working in industry. 30 credits are required and students may pursue either a thesis or non-thesis option in the program.
Enrollment in our courses ranges from four to 15 students with an average class size of approximately 12 students. Classes meet twice a week in the evening for an hour and 20 minutes, either on Monday and Wednesday or Tuesday and Thursday from 6 p.m. to 7:20 p.m. or 7:30 p.m. to 8:50 p.m.
A student must take three of the following five core courses (three credits each):
Three elective courses, for a total of nine additional credits, are also required. Elective special topics courses in all areas of chemistry are given on a regular basis. Recent topics have included Mass Spectroscopy, Environmental Chemistry, Synthesis, and Biochemical Toxicology. Written comprehensive examinations are also required, and passing grades obtained, in two of the five major areas of chemistry.
While carrying out research for the thesis, the student must take three research courses (three credits each). During a student's final semester, a thesis preparation course is taken (three credits). The student will write a thesis based upon independent research carried out under the direction of a Villanova chemistry faculty member. A public presentation of the thesis is required for graduation.
The graduate program in chemistry recognizes the fact that chemists with their bachelor degrees who are employed in local industries would like the opportunity to earn a master's degree, but have time restrictions due to their employment. For these students, we provide an opportunity to earn a master's degree in chemistry by substituting work experience for the graduate thesis.
In the non-thesis option, the research and thesis courses are replaced by one additional graduate core course and three additional graduate electives. In lieu of the thesis presentation, the student must present a seminar describing research the student must present a seminar describing
research performed at their place of employment. With the exception of replacing the thesis courses and presentation with elective courses and an alternate seminar, the requirements for the non-thesis option are identical to the requirements for the thesis option.
A minimum total of 30 credits are required for the Masters Degree in Chemistry. There are two different tracks depending upon whether you are a full-time or part-time student. Full-time students must be in the Masters with Thesis option, while part-time students are usually in the Masters with Non-Thesis option. The requirements for each track are outlined below.

Blade & Soul – Girls' Generation stars in latest promotional game trailer
First revealed as Blade & Soul China's spokesperson 2 weeks ago, Korean female pop group Girls' Generation has made its first appearance in the latest game promo trailer. The game is currently in its "Youth" test phase, where an activation key is still needed despite having no data wipe.
I am currently playing in the China server, and I am having a blast. With its Free-to-Play business model, the game itself is slightly different from the Korean server, though not really that much other than some additional benefits for VIP members. Stay tuned for more!

(Excerpts from Press Release)
The major four-year study, funded by the National Institutes of Health, is a pioneering and innovative research partnership between UCSF, University of San Francisco, Donaldina Cameron House, and North East Medical Service. This joint study is the first in the nation to develop and test a cognitive behavioral type 2 diabetes intervention for Chinese American immigrants. For Asian Americans, diabetes is the fifth leading cause of death and they are 30% to 200% more likely than European American to develop diabetes and impaired glucose tolerance as a precursor to diabetes, despite these alarming numbers, culturally appropriate diabetes management interventions and recommendations for Chinese and other Asian American are lacking. The intervention study, conducted entirely in Cantonese, aimed to improve Chinese American immigrants' diabetes management by strengthening their problem -solving and communication skills with family members and health care providers in different cultural settings. This joint study also strengthened academic and community partnership and developed culturally appropriate strategies to disseminate study findings to promote the health and well-being of the Chinese American immigrant community.

We discussed the proper use of prepositions just a few days ago. This time, we dig deeper into the details of this important language component.
What Are Prepositions?
A preposition is a word to a group of words that show the relationship between two things, regardless of whether they're objects, ideas or actions. There are over 100 prepositions in the English language, many of which are naturally employed in day-to-day conversations. Without prepositions, sentences will not only sound awkward but could foster a confusing meaning.
Prepositions are use in order to add up emphasis in you sentences. These words are often compound with other parts of speech like conjunctions, verbs and even with adverbs. When that happens, it gradually forms a new word which acts as a preposition and thus giving more meaning in the sentence. There are also prepositions where they combine with some of words that are also considered as prepositions. So there will be a great option on what prepositions are you going to use.
Prepositions are also use in order to connect an object in a sentence. These will help in order to give the right and appropriate word in your content. However, even students who keep on learning this kind matter together in their English subjects at school don't even know how to use these words properly. Sometimes, these words are a bit confusing since there are times that other people think that they do have the same meaning. I guess these words are really confusing, aside from their two-letter spellings, they also serve the same function or the same meaning.
Therefore, you've got to know deeper about these kinds of words since it can affect greatly when applied in your sentences. Take note also that if ever you are not using these words correctly, it will ruin your content more and will lead up to a different story instead of sticking to the concept of your topic.
Using Prepositions
Most people make the mistake of using a preposition when it isn't necessary. That's because it's such a natural part of the language that it's easy to include it even when it doesn't alter the overall message. While not necessarily abhorrent, excessive use can make written work seem too wordy for its own good - just like a painting that uses 10,000 colors when the use of 10 will do. If a sentence can hold up its meaning without the use of a preposition, you should let it be in peace. Ask your favorite writing software - most of them should be good enough to point many of these follies out.
Kinds Of Prepositions
There are three general types of prepositions, each one indicating relationships with regard to either time, place or direction. Time prepositions include such words as "after", "until" and "during"; place prepositions, on the other hand, consist of location related terms such as "around", in the corner" and "between"; direction prepositions, meanwhile, show where a subject is headed, such as "under", "left" and "towards".

BPO Voice: Business Process Outsourcing, Call Center Outsourcing
Call Center Services, Outsourcing Services, Outsourcing Projects
This will not be music to the ears of Indian outsourcing industry. The anti outsourcing pitches are reaching high decibels and making more often than not, to the front page. The latest being - US Vice President Joe Biden accusation to Mitt Romney, the front-runner Republican presidential candidate, of outsourcing jobs to India when he was the Governor of Massachusetts .
As per the news report available, Biden upping the ante against Mitt Romney, claimed Millions of dollars flowed to India due to his favorable policies towards off shoring jobs. He said that in a campaign speech delivered in Davenport, Iowa. He further added that Massachusetts lost manufacturing jobs twice as fast as the rest of the country . Obama's Tax relaxations helped companies who operates in US whereas his policies favored those who outsourced.
Romney is leading among the Republican presidential aspirants to bag the party's nomination to challenge Barack Obama in the elections to be held in November.
Anti outsourcing shouts are nothing new and will further increase as campaigning intensifies. Joe biden, has always been a die hard, Obama's supporter, cheerfully playing his second fiddle and can afford to be more vocal against outsourcing.
As far as the ground reality is concerned, we all know that outsourcing is here to stay and countries need to think something more creative to save and create jobs instead of harping on antioputsourcing speeches.

CHAPTER 3 Asphalt Binders Asphalt binders, sometimes referred to as asphalt cement binders or simply asphalt cement, are an essential component of asphalt concrete--they are the cement that holds the aggregate together. Asphalt binders are a co-product of refining crude petroleum to produce gasoline, diesel fuel, lubricating oils, and many other petroleum products. Asphalt binder is produced from the thick, heavy residue that remains after fuels and lubricants are removed from crude oil. This heavy residue can be further processed in various ways, such as steam reduction and oxidation, until it meets the desired set of specifications for asphalt binders. For demanding, high-performance applications, small amounts of polymers are sometimes blended into the asphalt binder, pro- ducing a polymer-modified binder. Asphalt binders have been mixed with crushed aggregate to form paving materials for over 100 years. They are a very useful and valuable material for constructing flexible pavement world- wide. However, asphalt binders have very unusual engineering properties that must be carefully controlled in order to ensure good performance. One of the most important characteristics of asphalt binders that must be addressed in test methods and specifications is that their precise properties almost always depend on their temperature. Asphalt binders tend to be very stiff and brittle at low temperatures, thick fluids at high temperatures, and leathery/rubbery semi-solids at intermediate temperatures. Such extreme changes in properties can cause performance problems in pavements. At high temperatures, a pavement with a binder that is too soft will be prone to rutting and shoving. On the other hand, a pavement that contains a binder that is too stiff at low temperatures will be prone to low-temperature cracking. Figure 3-1 illustrates the extreme change in modulus that occurs in asphalt binders over the range of temperatures likely to occur in pavements; at -30�C the modulus of this particular asphalt binder was about 37,000 times greater than its modulus at 50�C. Specifications for asphalt binders must control properties at high, low, and intermediate temperatures. Furthermore, test methods used to specify asphalt binders usually must be conducted with very careful temperature control; otherwise, the results will not be reliable. Asphalt binders are also very sensitive to the time or rate of loading. When tested at a fast loading rate, an asphalt binder will be much stiffer than when tested at a slow loading rate. Therefore, time or rate of loading must also be specified and carefully controlled when testing asphalt binders. Another characteristic of asphalt binders that complicates specification and testing of these materials is that, for various reasons, such binders tend to harden with time. For example, when asphalt binders are heated to high temperatures, as happens when mixing and transporting HMA, some of the lighter volatile oil fractions of the asphalt vaporize, which can harden the remaining asphalt binder. At the same time, some of the chemical compounds making up asphalt binders can oxidize, which can also result in an increase in stiffness. Some oxidation occurs during mixing, transport, and placement of the HMA. However, slow, long-term oxidation will continue to occur in the asphalt binder in a pavement for many years, resulting in a slow but sometimes very 15

Sometimes asphalt binder age hardening can be so severe that it can lead to serious premature surface cracking of the pavement surface. Several other types of hardening occur in asphalt binders without any loss of volatiles or oxidation; these include steric hardening and physical hardening. These phenomena are not yet well understood, but appear to be caused by a slow rearrangement of the molecules in the asphalt binder over time, resulting in a gradual increase in stiffness. Unlike other types of hardening, steric hardening and physical hardening are reversible--if the asphalt is heated until fluid and then cooled, all or most of the hardening will be removed. This is one of the reasons it is important to thoroughly heat and stir asphalt samples prior to performing any laboratory tests. Asphalt binders are complex materials that are difficult to specify and test. Pavement engineers and technicians have struggled for over 100 years to develop simple tests and effective specifica- tions for asphalt binders. One of the earliest tests for asphalt binders was the penetration test, in which a small lightly weighted needle was allowed to penetrate the asphalt for a set period of time (typically 5 or 60 seconds). The distance the needle penetrated into the asphalt was measured and was used as an indication of its stiffness. Other such empirical tests were the ring and ball softening point temperature, and the ductility test. These tests were useful (many are still used in specifications in Europe and other parts of the world), but had shortcomings. They did not measure any fundamental property of the asphalt binder, like modulus or strength. The results were also sometimes highly variable and were not always in close agreement from laboratory to laboratory. In the 1960s, specifications based on viscosity measurements began to be adopted by many highway agencies. Viscosity tests are superior to the earlier empirical tests--they provide information on a fundamental characteristic of the asphalt binder and provide reasonably repeatable results among laboratories. However, there are drawbacks to viscosity testing. First, it is best used at high temperatures, where the behavior of the asphalt binder approaches that of an ideal fluid. At low and intermediate temperatures, viscosity tests become difficult to perform and even more difficult to interpret. Second, viscosity tests only provide a limited amount of infor- mation on the flow properties of a material. Two different asphalt binders can have identical vis- cosity values at a given temperature but might behave very differently because of differences in the degree of elasticity exhibited in their behavior. When loaded, the asphalt binders might deform the same amount, but when the load is removed, one might spring back, or recover, to nearly its initial shape. The other might hardly recover at all, staying in its deformed shape. The asphalt binder that showed more recovery--that behaved in a more elastic fashion--would tend to provide better rut resistance in paving applications compared to the other binder with poor recovery. However, viscosity tests provide no information about recovery or about the degree of elasticity exhibited by a material under loading. The shortcomings in both older empirical tests and in the newer viscosity tests eventually led to the development of a more effective system

The current system of education in Spain is known as LOE after the Ley Orgánica de Educación, or Fundamental Law of Education. Education in Spain is compulsory, and free from 6 to 16 years of age, supported by the Government in each Region.
- 1 Up to Secondary level
- 2 Comparative with British and Irish Qualifications
- 3 Vocational Training
- 4 Provision and Costs
- 5 School terms
- 6 Higher education
- 7 See also
- 8 References
- 9 External links
Up to Secondary level[edit]
Below Higher Education the system can be seen as consisting of four levels:
- Pre-school (Educación Infantil, segundo ciclo) - 3 to 6 years of age
- Primary School (Educación Primaria) six years of schooling - 6 to 12 years of age
- Compulsory Secondary Education (Educación Secundaria Obligatoria) four years of schooling - 12 to 16 years of age (15 year olds also may be included in England)
- Post-Compulsory Schooling (Bachillerato) two years of schooling - 16 to 18 years of age
Children 3 to 6 years old in Spain have the option of attending the Pre-school stage ( preescolar or popularly known as infantil), which is non-compulsory and free for all students. It is regarded as an integral part of the education system with infants' classes at almost every primary school. There are some separate nursery schools (Colegios Infantiles).
Children (whose parents chose that they should) enter pre-school (Educación Infantil) in the autumn of the calendar year in which they turn three years old. Following this pattern, the ages given here as corresponding to the different phases are the ages turned by children in the calendar year in which the academic year begins. Age ranges are inclusive: 3 to 5 years of age is 3 academic years.
Spanish students aged 6 to 16 undergo primary (colegio) and secondary school (instituto) education, which are compulsory and (like the preceding preschool from age 3) free of charge. Successful students are awarded a Secondary Education Certificate, which is necessary to enter the post-compulsory stage of Schooling (principally the Bachillerato) for their University or Vocational (Formación Profesional) Studies. Once students have finished their Bachillerato, they can take their University Entrance Exam (Pruebas de Acceso a la Universidad, popularly called Selectividad) which differs greatly from region to region. The compulsory stage of secondary education is normally referred to by its initials: ESO (Educación Secundaria Obligatoria).
Primary school[edit]
Structured as three year cycles:
- First Cycle (6 to 8 years of age)
- Second Cycle (8 to 10 years of age)
- Third Cycle (10 to 12 years of age)
Spanish Baccalaureate (Bachillerato)[edit]
Spanish Bachillerato is the post-16 stage of education, comparable to the A Levels/Higher (Scottish) in the UK, the French Baccalaureate in France or the International Baccalaureate.
There are two parts, a core curriculum with the compulsory subjects, and a specialist part with a few pre-selected branches to choose from. The core curriculum is as follows:
- Spanish Language and Literature: 1st and 2nd years
- Co-official language (in case of Catalan, Basque and Galician): 1st and 2nd years
- First foreign language (English, French, German or Italian; mostly English): 1st and 2nd years
- Philosophy: 1st year
- History of Philosophy: Only 2nd year.
- Physical Education: Only 1st year
- Spanish History: Only 2nd year
- Science to the contemporary world: Only 1st year
- Optional subject (2nd foreign language, psychology, information technology...): 1st and 2nd year
- Catholic Religion/All World Religions Studies: 1st and 2nd year (Optional)
The specialist part has up to four subjects (depending on the branch taken).
- Plastic Arts, Image and Design:
- Volume (sculpture) (optional on the 2nd year)
- Artistic drawing

At undergraduate level, some degrees have their own branch requirements (such as medicine, engineering degrees, law...) and some courses accept students from any branch, such as Language studies, Social Work, Educational Sciences or Tourism.
Comparative with British and Irish Qualifications[edit]
The Spanish School Leaving Certificate (ESO) is equivalent to a number of GCSEs, Junior Cert(in Ireland). or Standard Grades(in Scotland).
The Bachillerato is equivalent to A-levels, Leaving Certificate(in Ireland). and Scottish Highers . Therefore, Spanish students obtaining the appropriate grades required for entrance into universities in other parts of Europe, including Britain, are not precluded.
Vocational Training[edit]
The vocational training is also a common possibility after ESO or after the Spanish Baccalaureate. There are two different types of programs: Middle Grade Training Cycles (Ciclos Formativos de Grado Medio), which have the ESO diploma as a requirement, and Superior-level Training Cycles (Ciclos Formativos de grado Superior), which have the Spanish Baccalaureate as the principal requirement. After completion of the Superior-level Training Cycle, students are entitled to direct entrance to several related University degrees.
Provision and Costs[edit]
Schools in Spain can be divided into 3 categories:
- State schools (colegios públicos)
- Privately run schools funded by the State (colegios concertados)
- Purely private schools (colegios privados)
According to summary data for the year 2008-2009[1] from the ministry, state schools educated 67.4%, private but state funded schools 26.0%, and purely private schools 6.6% of pupils the preceding year.
All non-university state education is free in Spain, but parents have to buy all of their children's books and materials. This, nominally at least, also applies to colegios concertados. Many schools are concertados, state funded up to the end of ESO but purely private for the bachillerato years. This drop in the fraction of pupils in educación concertada is matched by increases of approximately equal size in the fraction in both state and purely private education for bachillerato.[1]
There are private schools for all the range of compulsory education. At them, parents must pay a monthly/termly/yearly fee. Most of these schools are run by religious orders, and include single-sex schools.
Schools supply a list of what is required at the start of each school year and which will include art and craft materials as well as text and exercise books. Expect to spend a minimum of around ninety pounds sterling per child[citation needed] (from 2009, this figure is nearer £300 and in 2011 was nearer £500; as of 2011, the cost of books averaged 170 euros for preschool and €300 for primary students.[2] In some regions, the autonomous government is giving tokens to exchange them in book shops for free (due to the economic crisis, this has all but ceased in the Valencian region), this is being adapted in 2006 in regions, such as Andalusia, where kids from 3 to 10 will get the books for free, on the following years it is expected for all compulsory years. School uniform is not normally worn in state schools but is usually worn in private schools.
Admissions to publicly funded schools[edit]
Article 84 of the governing law [3] defines the principles to be applied in the admission of pupils to publicly funded schools. The details of the implementation of these principles vary from autonomous community to autonomous community.
Community of Madrid[edit]
In the Community of Madrid, there is a largely uniform admissions process for state funded schools, both colegios públicos and colegios concertados. Here the main admissions procedures for pupils wishing to join a school in the autumn are carried out in the spring of the year in question.
Parents can choose the school to which they wish to send their child. It is not uncommon that there be insufficient places in a popular school for all the children for whom places are requested. In such cases places are allocated according to rather strictly defined admissions criteria as defined in Annex IX to the order establishing the process.[4]
The royal decree governing the same process in Extremadura[5] includes admissions criteria structured in a very similar way but differing in the number of points allocated, notably for residence near to the school.
An analogous decree for 2007 governing the same process in Andalusia[6] is notably different again in the way it allocates points.
School terms[edit]
Broadly similar to the English three term system, but with slightly shorter holidays at Christmas (23 December – 8 January) and Easter (one week - "Semana Santa"), and longer in the summer (normally from 23 June to 15 September). In 2005, the summer holiday ran from 22 June until 1-15 September, depending on the regions. The English half-term holiday does not exist, but there are frequent odd days and long weekends relating mainly to religious holidays and regional and national holidays.
Higher education[edit]
The normal duration for University courses is 4 years, except Medicine, which is 6 years and the double and some other degrees, which are 5 years. University studies have "ECTS credits" as a measure for the lessons, and normally, 60 ECTS are taken each year, so, each course comprises 240 ECTS credits. Passing every subject, and getting the 240 ECTS credits, gives the right to obtaining an academic degree (Grado), architecture or engineering qualification.
Postgraduate courses are Master's degrees (Máster), and Doctoral degrees (Doctorado). Access is regulated by the university itself, through the Doctorate Commission. It is necessary to have the degree course, architecture or engineering.
Own degrees are nonregulated studies leading to an unofficial degree, recognized only by the granting university. These courses have the same structure as the regulated studies.
The universities regulate access to their own degrees and they fix the academic fees. They can also offer unofficial postgraduate degrees.

Public schools are facing cuts after the city's Panel for Education Policy held its final meeting of the year Monday.
The panel passed the Education Department's budget, which cuts each school's budget by an average of 2.4 percent.
Principals don't have much more to cut but staff positions, meaning many teachers will be forced into a pool of substitutes.
When Schools Chancellor Dennis Walcott told the audience at last night's meeting that no teachers would be laid off he was interrupted by an angry teacher who said he had been "excessed."
The panel also passed 18 plans to move some charter schools into the same buildings as public schools.
The teachers' union and NAACP are suing to block the move.
The panel also voted to reorganize the controversial Arabic-themed middle school, Khalil Gibran International Academy.
It will reopen next year as a high school in a different location.

My guess is you went into cat or bear form for one weapon and not the other.
I just picked up Bloodfall for my druid, and was comparing my stats to another similarly geared feral tank, I have more crit, and more agility, but her crit percentage is higher. I started playing around a bit and found that if I equipped Shaft of Glacial Ice (251 Polearm with considerably less crit and agility, but around 60 hit) my crit percentage went up about 6%. Does hit directly affect crit that much? Is there any other reason that the Shaft of Glacial Ice would have so much more crit than Bloodfall?
I was in Night Elf form for both...i kept switching it back and forth to look, because it didn't seem to make sense. In Night Elf form I was at 29% crit with Bloodfall and 35% crit with the shaft of glacial ice...
you have feral talents that boost your crit, weapon skill has nothing to do with it as a druid
Hit and how it affects crit for melee can be found in the wowwiki article on Crit.
For melee DPS, increasing Hit removes part of the Miss from the combat table and adds that to the normal/crit portion of the combat table. Increasing your hit rating up to the hit hard cap will increase your crit cap. In functional practice against a boss, you may notice an increase in crit rate when you use some Hit gear because without it some of your Crit was over the cap and being wasted. This however should not affect the calculation used on the character sheet, the character sheet simply compares your combat rating to a target of the same level (400 attack skill if maxed versus 400 defense) and then factors in additional elements like crit rating, agility, buffs, talents, and so on.

I LOVE the crocs scrubs. They are super comfy and look amazing. The tops are formed so you like a woman with a shape. I bought four different crocs scrubs sets and I receive so many compliments, everyone loves them! The material is soft and stretchy and doesn't pile after washing. I gave them 4 stars and not 5 because they are pricey but worth the cost.

Lisa Mason's Morning News (10-1-13)

This shutdown is doing strange things to people. I saw this picture of a hippy wearing green fur ears and gloves and thought "right on!" What's this world coming to when I agree with a professional protester who probably smells lilke a hamster? Can I get a doctor's appointment to check – oh probably not. Anyway, on to the news ...
Despite what we learned from
Apollo 13
, failure is ALWAYS an option! Compromise, however, is not an option. America saved the world from Nazis, put a guy and a CAR on the Moon, yet we can't get Congress and the White House to play like grown-ups. President Obama is placing the blame squarely on House Republicans and you might be inclined to believe him. Just remember this; Obama will negotiate with the New Guy in charge of Iran, yet he won't return calls from someone for whom Americans elected. Why don't we go ahead and call Vlad Putin, maybe he can broker a deal here.
There was a scary moment after our lawmakers flat-out ignored the shutdown deadline in favor of schoolyard bickering and bitter whining, for once we all agree with each other. Even on the internet! It's finally Us against Them, as it should be. I had a frightening moment when I realized Harry Reid said something with which I agree. Harry said, ""This is a tragic day for Americans." He's right! It's tragic that we ever elected this group of stooges. I also agree with Obama when he said, "one faction of one party can't shut the government down." You're right, BO. It takes all factions from all parties.
Just curious, is it a safe idea to shut down NASA when we've had two unannounced meteors burning up in the atmosphere right over Alabama? Could we maybe set aside a few bucks for someone to keep an eye out?
I'm so sick of the shutdown already – so I'll just stop. There is a positive aspect of it, though; our payments to China will stop, plus Congress can't raise taxes if they're not working. Sure national parks are closed but if you're just dying to see Yosemite, just jump the fence. It's not like there's anyone there to stop you.
Today is opening day of the Obamacare health care exchanges. If you're already insured or on Medicare, then you don't have to do a thing. Just pretend you're in Congress. Remember, Obamacare does NOT cover busting your butt. If you are and you have, you don't qualify.
Shelby County is renewing it's efforts to crack down on meth, with their anti-smurfing campaign. Well smurf me in the smurfy! That's smurfalicious!
And a few things you need to know…
It's the first day of October, which of course, means it's time for stores to get out those Valentine's Day decorations.
On this date in 1971, Walt Disney World opened for the first time in Florida. Until that time, Super Bowl winners only had one place to go.
The number one movie over the weekend was "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2." The number last movie was a documentary about the government, "Inefficient with a chance of shutting down."
The price of a USA Today at the newsstand went up Monday from $1.00 to $2.00. Now, why would I pay $2.00 for the USA Today when it's actually the USA Yesterday?
A crafty fox has started stealing golf balls from the Verbier Golf Course in Switzerland. Caught on camera the fox can be heard saying "Ka ka ka kaka kaka KAW!" And also "Wha papa pa pa pa POW!"
And … Who you gonna call? Cher says she's being haunted and that she believes it's her ex-husband Sony Bono. Couldn't it just be old, discarded body parts that are haunting Cher? Sony's probably mad because he can't find his daughter, Chastity, and he doesn't recognize most of his ex-wife.

"Insects are a recurring theme in the game, because that's exactly what you are: a tiny, scared, insignificant insect, gazing up incomprehensibly at the towering food chain at the bottom of which you lie."Limbo is a 2-D puzzle platforming horror game by Playdead, an independent game studio based in Copenhagen, Denmark. This is their first game. It was originally released on Xbox LIVE Arcade, and was later ported with additional content to the PlayStation Network and Steam.The game's story is simple. You control a nameless young boy in Limbo, searching for his sister. There is no dialog or text of any kind to guide you. Just the boy and an incredibly dark, oppressive, crapsack environment. There are many deadly puzzles, challenges and traps that can get you killed, in many shockingly violent ways. A Gore Filter can make the deaths less grisly, but no less terrifying. When combined with the protagonist's limited moveset — he's entirely unarmed and can only jump, push/pull objects (like boxes and levers), climb ledges, and swing on ropes — Limbo's sense of helplessness and trepidation is intense. Something of a huge contrast and surprise between regional ratings, the ESRB somehow let the game pass with only a T for Teen rating, while PEGI gave it an 18, the strictest rating they have. If you see the more graphic deaths, you'll understand why you'd think the ESRB would have, or even should have given it an M for mature rating instead.Players draw many comparisons to Braid, another Xbox Live puzzle platformer that cost 1200 points at release, lasts about four to five hours on a first playthrough, has a unique art style, and says some interesting things about videogame storytelling.Do not confuse with Limbo of the Lost, although that's pretty terrifying in its own special way. For the opposite of Limbo, there is Lucidity.
This game provides examples of:

Remember that while we welcome your pet year-round at New York's Hotel Pennsylvania, others are not always so inviting. Check out the individual rules of every place before you go! Also, it is the law in New York City that your dog must remain on a leash at all times unless they are designated off-leash areas.
Be sure to check out all of the amazing amenities we will be offering when we are the host hotel for the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show in February!
Don't forget to bring your pet for your next visit to New York's Hotel Pennsylvania and check out our Pet Friendly specials!
