IS MORE BETTER?posted October 05
I was recently approached by a new-ish member who had just signed up for our Paleo Challenge (funny, he doesn't look newish). He said he wanted to make the most of the five weeks, and was hoping to land a spot atop our plyo box podium when we celebrate the winners. I was excited to hear how committed he was, but needed to make sure he understood the healthiest way to achieve that goal. And keep in mind, this is someone in the general membership, not someone preparing for the Crossfit Games.
He wanted to know how much he should work out. What is the story on the two mandatory rest days per week, as outlined in the Challenge contract? Should he do two workouts per day? Bottom line, will more exercise lead to better results?
Since I'm writing a blog about this, you can probably guess what my answer is.
The point of the Paleo Challenge, and our goal as a gym, is to help you create a lifestyle of greater heath and fitness. And by "health and fitness" we're talking about your: body composition, biomarkers of longevity, human movement and athleticism, prevention of disease and illness, and just feeling freaking good each day physically and mentally. If you are taking steps to improve these factors with your diet, don't handicap yourself with unnecessary stress.
Check out these two weekly plans. Which one seems healthier?
A. Crossfit metcons 5-6 days a week.
B. Crossfit metcons 2-3 days a week, with 2-3 days of strength training and 1-2 days of walking, hiking, yoga, sports, or rest.
Again, you can probably guess where I'm going with this.
Some high intensity days, some low intensity days, some rest days, and a solid diet… hmmm… sounds an awful lot like our hunter/gatherer ancestors. Plus, the top two indicators of health an longevity are muscle mass and strength. Aerobic capacity ("cardio") is down the list, around number seven. And we just went over how this correlates with body composition.
Ultimately fat loss happens with food. You will not burn off that ice cream and pizza with more exercising. You will only burn out. I've posted about the detrimental effects of stress before, and exercise is exactly that – a stressor that must be managed as such. Otherwise, consistently elevated cortisol levels will cause you to hold on to body fat.
"You mean there's ways to improve my aesthetics and athletics WITHOUT feeling like The Hulk used me as a hackey sack, while I lie in my own sweat and tears after a workout??"
This is the reason we offer such a variety of classes at Crossfit Hollywood. In addition to our regular Mixed Level and Beginner classes, we have:
Yoga – A great compliment to our programming that improves flexibility, body awareness, and relative body strength.
Foundations – Refining your barbell lifts, keeping intensity low, and making strength gains.
Sports Enhancement – Using unilateral, isometric, and manual resistance strength work to enhance your body's structural integrity and athletic movement patterns.
Burn – A fun option to occasionally mix into your week, focusing on bodyweight movements and exposure to the aerobic pathway.
So, to make a long story short (I know, too late) more is not always better. Let diet and strength work be the pillars of your wellness. Get some conditioning, and get yourself some R&R. And, as always, keep the communication lines open with your coaches.
Train smart. Live well.

Redlands Adult Literacy Program
Welcome to the Redlands Adult Literacy Program, sponsored by the Friends of the Library, in association with A. K. Smiley Library! Working with community volunteers, our mission is to provide professional one-on-one tutoring in reading and writing to adults, 18 years and older, seeking help in our community.
SERVICES PROVIDED: It is estimated that nearly one in five adults in the United States has difficulty reading job placement postings, medical directives, voting materials and other written materials crucial to functioning in this society. At the Redlands Adult Literacy Program, tutoring services are provided at no cost to adults, 18 years and older, requesting assistance in improving reading and writing skills. Lessons are individualized, confidential, and goal-oriented.
Interested in Tutoring? If you are interested in volunteering, please call 909.798.7565, ext. 4138 or email us at: literacy @akspl.org. We welcome your participation! Tutors are volunteers from our community and must be at least 18 years old. No previous teaching experience is required. Tutor qualifications are: the ability to speak, read, and write English; compassion and sensitivity to the needs of adult learners; and the willingness to be trained to assist the learner in meeting the learner's goals. Tutor/learner pairs schedule dates and times for tutoring to fit their schedules. Meetings occur at A. K. Smiley Library. Volunteers are available to meet with tutors and recommend teaching materials and techniques and assist with any challenges that may arise.
Interested in Improving your reading and writing? Learners must be at least 18 years old and out of the traditional high school environment. A learner must be able to speak to and understand English-speaking staff and tutors. Learners are interviewed and assessed by trained volunteers prior to being matched with a tutor. Following assessment, learners are matched with a tutor and are asked to make a six-month commitment to the program. Learners meet with their tutor once or twice a week for 1½ to 2 hours.
Support & Donations: The Friends of the Library, a tax-exempt, non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, working in association with A. K. Smiley Library, is committed to the life-changing benefits of literacy. The Redlands Adult Literacy Program does not receive financial support from the city of Redlands, therefore donations are welcome and needed to ensure that the adult literacy program can continue to serve the needs of adults in our community. Please contact the Volunteer Literacy Coordinators, at (909) 798.7565, ext. 4138, or e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com if you would like to:
- Volunteer to help tutor or assist the Redlands Adult Literacy Program
- Receive help in reading and writing English and are 18 years old or older
- Make a financial donation in support of adult literacy in Redlands
Stay informed: Please continue to visit this web site or the Friends Facebook page for further information regarding upcoming adult literacy events! Working together, we can continue to assist adults wishing to improve their reading and writing.
On May 8th, 2014 the Redlands Adult Literacy Program held its first fundraiser at the Footlighters Theater. We thank our donors and supporters for their commitment to supporting adult literacy in our community!

Caesarstone Reports Third Quarter 2012 Results
Caesarstone Sdot-Yam Ltd. ( CSTE), a manufacturer of high quality engineered quartz surfaces, today reported financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2012.
Revenues in the third quarter of 2012 increased by 4.6% to $77.6 million compared to $74.2 million in the same quarter in the prior year. Growth in revenues was predominantly driven by continued increases in sales in the United States and Canada, up 17.7% and 29.1% respectively, compared to the same period in the prior year. Revenue growth was partially offset by the impact of a stronger US Dollar and a challenging housing market in Australia. On a constant currency basis, third quarter revenue growth was 8.5% compared to the same period last year.
Yosef Shiran, Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We are very pleased with our third quarter, which set a record for any quarter in our history for both sales and profitability. We are positioned as the highest quality quartz brand and are successfully executing our global growth strategy."
Gross margin in the third quarter increased to 45.0% compared to 42.4% in the same period in the prior year. This improvement was driven primarily by economies of scale over fixed manufacturing expenses and favorable geographical revenue mix. While changes in foreign exchange rates impacted revenue negatively, they also reduced cost of goods sold equally, eliminating the impact on gross profit and thereby increasing gross margins.Operating expenses in the third quarter were $18.2 million, or 23.5% of revenues. This compares to the prior year's third quarter's level of $17.8 million, or 24.1% of revenues. The Company noted that the year-ago quarter contained a litigation credit of $1.8 million and adjusting for that, operating expenses were down approximately 7% compared to the prior year. This reduction was driven mainly by the elimination of management fees, and favorable foreign exchange rates. While overall expenses declined, the Company noted that it had increased sales and marketing expenses by 11.6% compared to the same quarter in the prior year.

Today Paul Weston, chairman of the party Liberty GB and candidate in the 22 May European Elections in the South East, has been arrested in Winchester.
At around 2pm Mr Weston was standing on the steps of Winchester Guildhall, addressing the passers-by in the street with a megaphone. He quoted the following excerpt about Islam from the book The River War by Winston Churchill:
"How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property – either as a child, a wife, or a concubine – must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men. Thousands become the brave and loyal soldiers of the faith: all know how to die but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith."
Reportedly a woman came out of the Guildhall and asked Mr Weston if he had the authorisation to make this speech. When he answered that he didn't, she told him "It's disgusting!" and then called the police.
Six or seven officers arrived. They talked with the people standing nearby, asking questions about what had happened. The police had a long discussion with Mr Weston, lasting about 40 minutes.
At about 3pm he was arrested. They searched him, put him in a police van and took him away.

Liberty GB will address all the political issues Great Britain currently faces, something the three main parties (along with UKIP) so conspicuously fail to do. The Liberal Democrats, Labour and Conservatives manifestly refuse to discuss the most important issues of our time, namely mass immigration from the EU and Third World, the steady rise of fundamentalist Islam and the hijacking of traditional British culture and institutions by well-organised left-wing 'progressives'. There is no guarantee at such a late stage that Britain can be saved, but Liberty GB will endeavour to put a stop to our rapidly accelerating descent into economic, educational, moral, cultural and social ruin. Britain could be a wonderful country again, but it will take politics bordering on the revolutionary to achieve this vision. If you are of similar mind, Liberty GB welcomes your participation.
We'd very much like to hear from you.

Have a question in mind? Here you'll find some of the common questions people ask, and more.
Not necessarily. "Natural" or home remedies are not necessarily safer, effective or lower in allergens. In fact, many natural products undergo limited or no scientific testing compared to the extensive toxicological evaluations that companies like SC Johnson require for their product formulations. In contrast, SC Johnson products must meet or surpass all relevant regulatory requirements in the United States, Europe and any country where the product will be sold.
This is a question that's best discussed with your doctor based on your personal situation. What we can tell you is that some allergies – such as to pollen, pet dander and mould – may be positively affected by the use of some of our cleaning products in the home. People with these types of allergies also should not experience allergic symptoms from our air care products. Additionally, our North American fragrances are formulated to not contain peanut or tree nut derived ingredients. However, some individuals may have allergies to certain fragrance ingredients. In these cases, we recommend that you contact our consumer help line prior to using SC Johnson products, and they can help you determine which ones would be best for you. You can reach them at 800-558-5252.
Not in all cases. Products made from natural materials may have more allergens than products made from synthetic materials. For example, fragrances made from natural fragrance materials may contain allergens at higher levels than fragrances made from primarily synthetic materials.
It's our internally developed environmental classification system that we use to help "green" the company's chemistry. Created in 2001, the SC Johnson Greenlist™ process helps our scientists select better ingredients and phase out less desirable ones. When SC Johnson scientists create a new product or new formula, they work to select raw materials with the highest possible ratings. Reformulations must use ingredients that have ratings equal to or better than the original formula. You can learn more about the SC Johnson Greenlist™ process here.
No, you can rest assured that we work closely with our fragrance suppliers to ensure that we have evaluated the ingredients in our fragrances, both for human health and the environment. We meet, and often surpass, the regulatory requirements of the countries in which we operate, as well as the standards specified by the International Fragrance Association (IFRA).
Plus, at SC Johnson, we take the review of fragrance ingredients a step further. We evaluate them not only under the IFRA standards, but also under our own standards that may look at ingredients differently. We start with the IFRA list and then apply our own internal requirements. These internal requirements may look at the same criteria as IFRA, such as carcinogicity, mutagenicity or reproductive toxicity, but at SC Johnson, we may take a stricter or different view of an ingredient. In some instances, we may also consider additional factors such as consumer confidence with ingredients or other scientific viewpoints.
Yes, we believe that all our fragranced products can be used safely if used according to label directions. We meet, and often surpass, the regulatory requirements of the countries in which we operate, as well as the standards specified by the International Fragrance Association (IFRA).
Ingredients that are part of SC Johnson's exclusive fragrance palette must live up to the safety standards of the International Fragrance Association as well as our own SC Johnson standards.
This is a great question and you'll sometimes hear about this debate as it relates to chemical laws and regulations. "Hazard" is a property of an ingredient. For example, the hazard from table salt is that it can contribute to high blood pressure. "Risk" is the LIKELIHOOD that the hazard will happen. Using the table salt example, the risk of high blood pressure is low if you don't eat too much of it. So risk is about the degree of hazard with an ingredient AND the dose that a person receives – meaning the amount and the length of the exposure over time. Some people argue that ingredients with any hazard are harmful. But as with the table salt example, often hazards can be easily managed.
At SC Johnson, we take a risk-based approach. This means:

Luke Operation Swift Savior highlights VA, AF cooperation

LUKE AIR FORCE BASE, Ariz.
-- The 944th Aeromedical Staging Squadron and the Carl T. Hayden VA Medical Center collaborated to make history Sept. 16 through 20 during Operation Swift Savior, a patient evacuation exercise, at Luke Air Force Base.
The exercise scenario began with a simulation of the president of the United States declaring a "state of disaster" in Arizona as a result of a simulated extended power outage. The scenario required patients (mannequins) to be transported from the Veterans Affairs Medical Center to Luke Air Force Base for staging at the 944th ASTS. Once at the 944th ASTS the patients were stabilized and prepped to be loaded onto a C-130 Hercules transport and delivered to Nellis AFB, Nev., the next day.
The final destination for the patients was the Las Vegas Veterans Affairs Medical center where they stood up a federal coordinating center to receive the casualties from Phoenix.
Lt. Col. Michael Chesser, 944th ASTS Hospital Services Flight chief critical care air transport physician, was one of the original architects of the exercise. When not at his Reserve job, Chesser is employed by the VA as one of the physicians on the VA's Emergency Management Committee, and designated medical care director.
Chesser, in collaboration with Lt. Col. Lisa Banyasz, 34th Air Evacuation Squadron, Peterson AFB, Colo., Luke Ritz, Phoenix and Tucson Veterans Affairs Area Emergency Manager - Region IX, VHA/ Office of Emergency Management, 302nd Airlift Wing, Peterson AFB, and the 56th Medical Group successfully organized the most extensive cooperation in an exercise between the VA and U.S. Air Force in the Southwest.
"We did a patient reception exercise in Phoenix in 2010 where we flew a plane in from the Channel Islands and conducted care on the ground here," Chesser said. "This exercise was built on that concept but was much more extensive."
Capt. John Lewis, 944th ASTS Medical Readiness officer, and Master Sgt. Alan Boss, 944th ASTS Medical Readiness/Logistics superintendent, designed, wrote and organized the official training plan for the Luke AFB portion of Operation Swift Savior. Ritz drafted the operational plan, which was used for the regional exercise.
"The primary purpose of this training was to provide 944th ASTS members with Air Force specialty-code specific and readiness skills verification training," Boss said. "The second purpose was to provide manpower and support to the VA health care system's operational mission and build stronger relationships between the VA, Arizona Department of Health Services, 944th FW, 56th FW and other participating units."
The exercise was planned and coordinated over the past six months between the players in Arizona, Nevada and Colorado through frequent conference calls. Many parts of the community (federal, state and local level) are motivated to build on these experiences and continue to improve integration and cooperative ability.
In conjunction with the official exercise, additional training for Luke participants also took place. The 944th ASTS, MDS and civil engineer squadron members, as well as 56th MDG, security forces and CE members participated in an Introduction to Radiological and Nuclear Response Course put on by the Defense Nuclear Weapons School, Kirtland AFB, N.M., during a portion of Operation Swift Savior. The one-day course was designed to train Airmen on equipment needed for dealing with various radiological or nuclear response scenarios.
"It's important they understand how detection equipment works, to provide an accurate response," said Master Sgt. Lucas Avery, Defense Nuclear Weapons School. "And this was a perfect tie into the exercise already being conducted."
"The exercise came off without a hitch on our end," Lewis said. "Deficiencies seen in past exercises, such as poor litter carry were definitely remedied before this exercise and were performed flawlessly. We are looking forward to bigger and better exercises in the future."
Nellis AFB and the 99th Medical Wing had approximately 300 personnel participating with more than 400 participants involved in the entire exercise. The Las Vegas venue also included 12 local hospitals, which provided the final reception point for 150 live patients to replace the mannequins arriving on the C-130.
"We had such great success with the exercise this week," Chesser said. "We are very excited about recreating 'Swift Savior' again in the near future and broadening the pool of who we exercise with.
There are discussions to incorporate more military units within Arizona including more active-duty, Reserve and National Guard assets in the Air Force and Army. We also hope to integrate state, local and tribal entities for our next exercise, making it a premiere event."

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- The major U.S. equity averages finished mixed on Thursday with the technology sector weighed down by a 2% slide in Apple (AAPL) shares.
The iPhone maker's stock was under pressure after a federal appeals court retracted an injunction banning competitor Samsung from selling its Galaxy Nexus smartphone, despite the ongoing patent dispute between the companies.
Early strength in stocks following a better than expected read on weekly initial jobless claims and a bullish call from Citigroup faded as the afternoon wore on.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 19 points, or 0.14%, to close at 13,326, closing more than 100 points below a high for the day of 13,428. The blue-chip index has now fallen in four straight sessions.Breadth within the Dow was negative with losers ahead of winners, 18 to 12. The biggest decliners among the blue chips were AT&T (T), Home Depot (HD), Verizon ( VZ), and Walt Disney (DIS). Dow gainers included Bank of America (BAC), JPMorgan Chase (JPM), and UnitedHealth (UNH). The big banks got a lift after Bloomberg reported the European Union is considering delaying the deadline for implementing more stringent Basel bank-capital rules. In addition, The Wall Street Journal reported Douglas Braunstein, JPMorgan's chief financial officer, may step down in the next two quarters. JPMorgan reports its fiscal third-quarter results before Friday's opening bell. Boeing (BA) shares rose a little less than 1% following news that Alaska Air (ALK) has agreed to buy 50 Boeing 737 aircraft with the ability to purchase an additional 62 aircraft through options and purchase rights.

Norandex Vinyl Windows Reviews
Our old house had Crestline windows. I was happy with them. The new house has Norandex vinyl windows and I've had nothing but trouble. When I try to get Norandex to fix one of the numerous problem, they give me the run around and I've never had any satisfaction with that company regarding the windows.
Viewpoint 3000
Norandex sells the Viewpoint 3000, which is actually an Atrium line. It's a mid-grade window, so if the price is good it isn't bad, but if you can afford something nicer then you can probably do better. There aren't any major flaws, but there's nothing to really stand out either.

Hennessy Elementary school Alum, Kim Madson, heard that her Alma Mater was being considered to go from a public elementary school to a charter high school and she was outraged. Not so much that the school board was considering the change but that the first she heard about it was from a friend who knew someone on the school board. Madson decided to create a facebook page called Occupy Hennessy to get the word out and she is surprised by the overwhelming community response.
"It's getting bigger than I ever anticipated. The support is overwhelming from parents, from alumni, just general concerned community members."
The facebook page has a post outlining the sentiment of its members stating "As voting members of the community, we should be OUTRAGED that a decision as huge as changing the format of Hennessy School is not being shared to the fullest with the voters!!" Madson says flyers will be handed out regarding an occupy type rally at the PARENT MEETING this evening (THURSDAY!!) At 5:30pm-6:30pm, At Hennessy School. According to Madson, the concern is about properly informing the public about a potential change to Hennessy.
"I just wish that they had been more open with the public about what's going on. It's more so about keeping information from the public than money concerns."
The Occupy type protest is set for Monday the 9th from 6 to 9pm. The school board meeting is on Tuesday January 10th at 7pm. Madson says the public is encouraged to come out and let the board know how they feel.

Extracts and Food Colours
What is the shelf life of extracts?
The shelf life of extracts, except Pure Vanilla, is approximately 2 - 4 years. Pure Vanilla has an unlimited shelf life. Always replace the lid on bottles right after use to avoid flavour loss.
How can I remove a food colour:(a) from skin? (b) from kitchen cabinets or floors? (c) from rugs?
a)For skin, try baby oil, thick hand cream or vegetable oil, thickly cover area (avoiding eyes) and leave on approximately 20 minutes. Use dish soap to remove the oily substance they may have to be repeated several times. b) For kitchen counter tops wipe with liquid dish soap and rinse, then if needed use a spray cleanser and rinse with soap and water. If this is unsuccessful, mix 1 tablespoon (15 mL) bleach with 1 cup warm water (adults only) wash area carefully. c) for rugs we recommend calling a professional carpet cleaner.
Using food colours, how do I make the colour black?
Use 5 drops blue food colouring, 1½ teaspoons (7 mL) red food colouring and 1½ teaspoons (7 mL) green food colouring. However, this does not make a very intense black.

As of Thursday, September 22, 2011
© Copyright 2014 Clayton News Daily
The Forest Park City Council voted Wednesday to appoint an officer to preside over a special hearing involving the possible revocation, or suspension, of business and alcohol licenses held by two strip clubs.
City Manager John Parker recused himself from officiating over the hearings because he is a defendant in several lawsuits filed by, or on behalf of, one or both of the clubs –– Crazy Horse Saloon and Pink Pony South.
The council approved the appointment of attorney T. Michael Martin, because of his experience as a hearing officer and former Forest Park Municipal Court judge. The appointment authorizes Martin to conduct the hearing, or hearings, and to enter into written decisions on behalf of the city manager in accordance with local ordinances.
Parker told the council that Martin's decision will be binding.
City Attorney Robert Mack said Martin will be fair to both sides.
"He'll follow the law," said Mack. "He's even-handed."
Parker said the evidence against the clubs includes graphic videotape.
"If these folks abided by the ordinances, they'd never see us," he said.
The city will likely begin proceedings against the clubs within the month. The show-cause hearing will be held at Forest Park City Hall, and will be open to the public.
"Once we let Mr. Martin know of the appointment, he will notify the club owners and establish a hearing date and time," said Parker.
It will be up to the club owners, city officials said, to provide reasons why the city should not revoke or suspend their business and/or alcohol licenses. The losing side has the right to appeal Martin's decision to Clayton County Superior Court.
City officials were tight-lipped Wednesday as to specific details leading to the hearing. However, a report filed by Forest Park police on Sept. 13 shows that a dancer and customer at Crazy Horse Saloon were arrested for public indecency when officers found the pair partially nude in the VIP section of the club.
Antonio Lavariego De La Rosa, 29, of Newnan, allegedly told police he paid Heather May Stout, 21, $100 for a private dance. Both were arrested. De La Rosa pleaded no contest to his charge Sept. 19 and was sentenced to 12 months, to serve 10 days in jail.
His sentence was suspended upon payment of a fine. Stout's case remains open, and she is free on bond.
Club Manager Christopher Butler, 42, was cited for operating an adult entertainment establishment without a license.

2013-14 CAA Post-Mortem
The new era in the Colonial Athletic Association has begun. While there was plenty of competitiveness, as expected, the conference is in a very different time now with arguably its three signature programs having left over the past two years.
Conference champion Delaware was a study in overcoming adversity all season long. The Blue Hens certainly had enough talent and experience to compete for the title, but suspensions of multiple players, including long ones to Devon Saddler and Jarvis Threatt, could have scuttled this magical season. They were challenged in the conference tournament, including in the title game, but as they did all year, they found a way to win.

Yowza Laura, you have lost a LOT of weight at 7 months! Congratulations! As for me, I carried a lot of weight in my upper arms; so not only do I have hangy batwings -- the skin on the front of my upper arms looks deflated, crepe-y and wrinkly. I am fairly traumatized by them! I usually wear 3/4 length sleeves but found some t-shirts at Footlocker (4 for $19) and if I wear the large, they are fairly loose on me but the sleeves come down far enough to cover most of the flappity skin. I think my arms are worse than others I seen on here, so maybe if I can go with "longer" shortsleeves (a little above my elbow) -- you will be okay. :) Jas

My arms are really bad. I thought for sure I would not be buying any shirts without sleves but I have bought several sleveless shirts already. They don't look as bad in them as I thought they would. Like others said, people don't notice it unless you are waving your arms up in the air. I would say try different shirts and buy what you like.

In the 2010-2011 school year, approximately 903,630 U.S. public school graduates took at least one Advanced Placement exam and 540,619 achieved a passing score of 3 or higher, according the College Board. That is a huge achievement: a rise of 34% from five years ago in the number of students passing, and a 40% increase in the same period for the number of students taking the exam. These gains are an important step for students preparing for the rigors of college-level courses.
But those students who took the exam represent just under a third of the more than three million high school seniors in the U.S. We know that students taking and passing A.P. exams matriculate at higher rates and perform better in college than their peers, as shown by a 2007 College Board study by Rick Morgan and John Klaric. That's why, if we're serious about closing the much-talked-about skills gap in the U.S., and improving opportunities for our students, it's crucial that we enroll more students in rigorous programs such as the A.P. and give them the tools to do well.
A.P. classes do more than teach integrals or The Canterbury Tales. By challenging and empowering high school students to successfully complete college-level coursework, A.P. classes dramatically increase students' college readiness, according to a study by the National Center for Educational Accountability. Students earning a three or higher on A.P. exams are three times more likely to earn a college degree than students who do not pass, and African-American and Hispanic students who pass an A.P. exam are four times more likely to earn a college degree than those who do not pass, according to the study.
More broadly, A.P. classes help students realize their potential as scholars and problem solvers. The experience of tackling a seemingly insurmountable goal—mastering college-level content knowledge in less than a year—and ultimately triumphing is a powerful one for students of all backgrounds, and most especially those African-American and Hispanic students who are traditionally underrepresented in A.P. classrooms. When students take A.P. classes and pass the A.P. exam, it proves they have the potential to excel in college and beyond. When all students are given the opportunity to participate—and the incentive to succeed— in the most challenging high school courses, they're more prepared to succeed at the college level.
At the National Math and Science Initiative, a nonprofit that supports efforts to bolster math and science education in the U.S., we have an A.P. program, active in 462 schools in nine states, that encourages all students—not just "honors" students—to try their hand at A.P. classes and see what they can do if they put their minds to it. We want students to study challenging topics in high school classrooms before facing them in college lecture halls.
To achieve the best possible results in getting more students to pass, we try to remove barriers that hinder schools' and teachers' best efforts. For example, we provide professional development for teachers in the summers and during the school year that schools can't often afford. And because A.P. teachers often are not able to discuss concerns or difficulties they have in class with colleagues because they are often the only A.P. teachers in their subject at their school, we provide an A.P. expert whose job it is to support and be on call for the A.P. teachers in the program. And because schools often cannot afford the math and science equipment needed to start an A.P. class, we provide funding for equipment with support from a public-private partnership whose grants come from foundations, large companies and the U.S. government.
What we've found is that, on average, in the first year the program is implemented in a school, the number of math, science, and English A.P. exams that students pass almost doubles. That means a sharp increase in the number of students taking college seriously and putting themselves on a path to completing a college degree.
Are A.P. classes hard? You bet. Can many more high school students handle them and succeed in them? Definitely—especially if they have the opportunity and the right support.
Gregg Fleisher is senior vice president of the National Math and Science Initiative.

Frankly, I'm not sure having access to APs should be the principal concern. I took 9 APs in high school and even ended up trading them in for a year's course credit, so I could graduate Georgetown in 3 years, rather than 4.
What good has it done me? Little that I can see. Adjusted for inflation, I'm still earning ($29,000) approximately what I earned in 1994 ($20,000), in my first real job after college. Unless one has a graduate degree, there is often little hope for advancement in this country.
[…] We Need more Access to A.P. Classes to Boost College Degrees. (October, 2012). Gregg Fleisher. Hechinger Report. An answer to the problem of poor academic performance is to encourage high school students to take courses of more rigor suggests the author of this article. I agree! This is one approach to solve part of the problem, and a good starting point. But it will not address the overall decline of high school student performance. Parental involvement is needed, as is an overhaul of the approach to educating young people, but this topic we'll save for another post. […]

Schumacher accident report suggests star was at fault
The report compiled by French police into the accident which left Michael Schumacher in an induced coma suggests that the former racing driver is entirely to blame for skiing into virgin territory that was unmarked.
Prosecutors suggest that Schumacher skied into a dangerous area nine metres away from a marked piste and the resort had followed all safety procedures.
"Schumacher found himself in an area which was not marked with the dangers of the mountain," gendarme commander, Stephane Bozon, said in a press conference.
The prosecutors are examining the images filmed by a GoPro camera attached to Schumacher's helmet at the time of the accident. Prosecutor Patrick Quincy suggested that there was no criminal prosecution against those responsible for marking the slopes. He added that Schumacher had deliberately chosen to veer off the marked piste.
Schumacher is being kept in a medically induced coma 10 days after the accident and medics have noted a slight improvement in his health which remains in critical condition following two brain operations.

More than 6,200 soldiers died and nearly 30,000 were wounded in the last three years of fighting in Sri Lanka, the government has revealed.
Gotabaya Rajapaksa, the defence secretary, announced the figures - which cover the phase of fighting against the separatist Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) since August 2006 - on state television.
"We made huge sacrifices for this victory," he said on Thursday.
The government has not announced the civilian toll, which is expected to be higher.
The government has said that at least 15,000 LTTE fighters died in the conflict, but these figures are yet to be confirmed.According to UN estimates, up to 100,000 people died in the 26 years of fighting.
Resettling Tamils
It said on Friday that the 280,000 Tamil civilians who fled the fighting and who are now being held in camps will be rehoused within six months.The pledge was made after Mahinda Rajapaksa, the Sri Lankan president, met two envoys from India to discuss the situation and aid.India has promised $20m in aid and is expected to give another $105m for reconstruction and resettlement.
Rajapaksa also promised to give a copy of the LTTE leader's death certificate to Indian authorities. Velupillai Prabhakaran was wanted over the assassination of Rajiv Gandhi, a former Indian prime minister.
"The government of Sri Lanka ... outlined a 180-day plan to resettle the bulk of IDPs [internally displaced persons] to their original places of habitation," they said in a joint statement.The Indian government is "committed to provide all possible assistance in the implementation of such a plan in areas such as de-mining, provision of civil infrastructure and reconstruction of houses", the statement said.Solidarity march
Residents of the capital, Colombo, are expected to march to parliament later on Friday in support of the government's victory.
"[I lived] near Pudukuripu, in a place called Padapalaayam ... Every hour the Sri Lankan army fired 400 to 500 shells. We were forced to live inside the bunkers."My elder brother was injured in the shelling and he was taken to the hospital ... To remain alive and avoid all the atrocities I escaped to India."I escaped to India by boat, travelling with many unknown people."Pradeepan, Tamil refugee
"Progress on all three fronts must be in parallel, and it must begin now," Ban has said, adding that any serious allegations of war crimes "should be properly investigated".
On Monday, the president declared the country "liberated" from the separatist fighters after the last pocket of territory held by them was taken.

Many insurance firms are turning to technologies such as business intelligence (BI) and business analytics (BA), enterprise risk management and virtualization. Experts say these three technology areas are especially critical for success in today's insurance market.
A subset of BA called predictive analytics is "very hot in the insurance industry, and we think it will remain hot even in this financially strapped marketplace," says Barry Rabkin, senior research analyst for insurance at Financial Insights, an IDC company. A recent study by the Framingham, Mass.-based firm reports that a growing number of insurance companies are using analytics for applications such as price modeling, underwriting for business acquisitions, and identifying the most profitable customers, agents and territories.
"In claims, business analytics applies to straight-through processing for certain claim categories, subrogation, litigation management, reserve setting, vendor management, catastrophe management, compliance and fraud detection," says Karen Pauli, research director at TowerGroup, a Needham, Mass., research and advisory firm focused on the financial industry. In call centers, BI and BA support up-selling and cross-selling, while in sales, these technologies can help identify where to place agents or other distribution points, she says.
Another technology that's essential for insurance companies is enterprise risk management. These software platforms—which help manage areas such as regulatory compliance and workflow—"will be an imperative in 2009 due to increased regulatory scrutiny at both the state and federal levels," Pauli says. "Rating agencies will be looking to see, in detail, how carriers are managing risk."
Experts say risk management is especially important during a down economy. "The financial crisis is driving insurance companies to better understand their financial risks as well as their transactional risks—the risks they bring in to put on the books," says Financial Insights' Rabkin. "Enterprise risk management will need to evaluate both internal and external risk."
Virtualization is also high on the list of crucial insurance technologies. In addition to providing a way to consolidate servers, decrease costs and provide greater agility in server allocation, this technology also can enable insurance employees to work more flexibly.
"Agents and brokers must be able to conduct business anytime, anywhere without having to return to an office to execute," explains TowerGroup's Pauli. She adds that consumers expect to be able to access their agents and brokers whenever they need them.
Here's a look at how insurance firms are using these three critical technologies.
Business Intelligence
Insurance.com, an online independent auto insurance agency in Solon, Ohio, has used BI software since 2004. In 2008, it deployed IBM Cognos Now!, a BI application that allows continuous monitoring of operational metrics.
The firm, which allows consumers to link directly to the rating systems of more than a dozen insurance companies, depends heavily on its Internet delivery model. So it needed an application to monitor all IT systems and ensure that they are running at peak performance, says Scott Noerr, director of IT services.
Insurance.com uses information gathered from its BI system to identify potential performance issues before they affect critical business systems. Aside from ensuring systems reliability, the BI technology is used to optimize computing capacity in the company's sales center, which operates seven days a week and is staffed with insurance agents licensed in 47 states.
Prior to using the IBM Cognos software, Insurance.com used a homegrown application that monitored systems health and generated event logs when there were issues. But it couldn't integrate data from various systems, and IT struggled to determine what was causing issues, who had taken ownership of them and whether they were resolved, Noerr recalls.
"The starting point for us was to monitor the performance of our technology platform—the engine for [comparing] car insurance quotes from our 15 insurance company partners," Noerr says. Alerts from multiple sources, such as third-party vendors, insurance companies and internal systems, were integrated, and rules were established for notifications.
The interface was customized to provide reports with different views for different users. The IT staff is able to respond quickly to issues because the dashboard pinpoints issues quickly and precisely, says Joe Singleton, vice president of IT at Insurance.com.
With the BI application, the firm can monitor all critical applications in its production environment and get an accurate view of system performance. Dashboards provide up-to-the-minute key performance indicators, such as Web traffic throughput, business throughput and general traffic data.
Enterprise risk management
Another technology, enterprise risk management (ERM), is critical for many insurers, including Nationwide Mutual Insurance Co. The Columbus, Ohio, provider of life, property and casualty insurance uses the OpRisk Management software suite from SAS, which runs on IBM WebSphere Web and application servers.
"Nationwide is in the risk management business, and a lot of good operational risk management was being done before ERM came along," says Allan Dudek, senior consultant of enterprise risk management. "But a standard way of collecting, measuring, analyzing and reporting didn't really exist."
The firm uses the SAS tools to help integrate risk management processes across risk types and risk management programs, as well as throughout the risk management cycle. One component, SAS OpRisk Management, focuses primarily on operational risk, but Nationwide also uses it to support market/credit, strategic and product risk as well, particularly for qualitative assessments, key risk indicators, and issue and action plan tracking.
Because the company uses the platform across risk management programs, it has eliminated the duplication of systems. For example, the Information Risk Management, ERM and Office of Privacy (Legal) functions were all looking for automated systems at the same time.
"By purchasing and implementing one solution, we were able to control costs and provide a great opportunity for increased standardization and information sharing across programs," Dudek says. Nationwide plans to roll out the platform to additional risk management programs this year, he adds.
Dealing with complexity was a major challenge of implementing ERM. "SAS, like most enterprise software solutions, is a powerful and complex collection of components," Dudek explains. "It is also highly configurable and customizable. Initially, learning how to put all the pieces together to best meet our needs was a challenge."
The firm developed expert knowledge in-house rather than depend on outside consultants for the implementation. This slowed early progress, Dudek says, but has paid off in the long run as Nationwide continues to refine its ERM capabilities.
Coordinating resources from various functional areas also proved challenging. The company is trying to establish a support model that more effectively takes into account the close partnerships needed to best leverage ERM. To that end, it created a special Operational Risk Alignment Committee to help coordinate and steer the various groups toward commonly understood and sanctioned goals.
XL Global Services, a Stamford, Conn., provider of fire, marine and casualty insurance, is among the organizations discovering the benefits and challenges of virtualization. The company began using virtualization in 2005, when it deployed VMware software to provide file, print and domain controller services for users in regional offices.
In 2006, XL Global Services began using the virtualization software in its data centers and labs, mostly for lightweight applications and R&D work, says Howard Fingeroth, vice president of infrastructure architecture, capacity and configuration management. A year later, it made a bigger move to virtualization, migrating many applications to virtual machines in its data center. By the end of 2007, the company had deployed more than 200 virtual machines.
The key drivers for virtualization were the desire to reduce server sprawl and reliance on physical servers, and to cut real estate, power and cooling costs. A study of the firm's computing resources showed that its utilization of servers was low, "so we were a perfect candidate for virtualization," Fingeroth says.
XL Global Services generally has multiple versions of insurance products being worked on at any time, and environment sharing wasn't always possible. Virtualization "allowed us to maximize the use of physical servers and share the resource without the applications coexisting in the same operating system instance," Fingeroth says.
The technology enables the company to fully utilize all its computing resources. As a result, turnaround time for new environments has been drastically reduced; redeployment of older hardware is now possible for nonproduction environments, extending their use and delaying the costs of procuring new hardware; and there's increased availability of applications hosted within the virtual environment. In addition, XL Global Services is able to avoid the cost of maintenance and service contracts on physical servers.
Of course, there were some challenges. For example, since XL Global Services was an early adopter of the technology, it had a tough time selling virtualization to its application developers. "Several proof-of-concept conversions and lots of testing were done to prove that applications function the same in a virtual guest as on a dedicated server," Fingeroth recalls. The company has "spent a great deal of time building this environment and getting user buy-in."
Still, it was worth the effort. "Virtualization has allowed us to provide a better quality of service to our users," he says. This has been done by reducing the time required to provision new environments and by offering higher availability.
This is likely to be a challenging year for insurance firms, but IT can help identify ways to improve services and business processes, manage risk, reduce costs and increase agility.

HOUSTON, Dec. 13 -- Zurich-based power and automation technology group ABB received a $34 million contract to supply control and safety systems for the proposed 1,760 km Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan (BTC) pipeline that will carry Caspian Sea region crude oil from Azerbaijan to Turkey's Mediterranean Sea coast for export. BP PLC is operator for the $2.9 billion BTC Pipeline Co. project.
Under terms of the contract, ABB will supply, install, and commission integrated control and safety systems to provide operational control, emergency shutdown options, and fire and gas monitoring of the pipeline, a marine terminal, and two offshore production platforms.
The work also includes remote-controlled subsystems to isolate sections of the pipeline for regular inspection and maintenance.
The systems are based on ABB's industrial technology that links products and services with the information needed to run, service, and maintain them, enabling BTC Pipeline Co. to control operations at both ends of the pipeline.
"A cross-border technology solution is needed to make sure this extremely complex pipeline runs efficiently," said Dinesh Paliwal, head of ABB's automation technologies division. "Our industrial IT platform?handles both process and safety control in one system, rather than with separate systems as is done traditionally. This is important to ensure pipeline efficiency, as well as environmental and personal safety."
Construction of the pipeline is slated to start next year with completion expected in 2005. Greece's Consolidated Contractors International Co. will handle pipelaying in Azerbaijan, while a joint venture of France's Spie-Capag SA and Petrofac Ltd., London, will handle pipelaying in Georgia and related facilities work in both Azerbaijan and Georgia (OGJ Online, Aug. 14, 2002).
US-based Bechtel Group is the project's engineering, procurement, and construction management services contractor, and BOTAS, Turkey's state pipeline contractor, is turnkey contractor for the Turkish section of the pipeline.
When commissioned, the pipeline is expected to carry 1 million b/d from Sangachel on Azerbaijan's Caspian coast, through Georgia to a new marine terminal at Ceyhan on Turkey's southern Mediterranean coast.
It will be linked over its entire length by a fiber optic telecommunications system, ABB said. Associated field instrumentation includes transmitters and ultrasonic flow metering for the terminal, valves, and pumping stations.
Pipeline operator BP holds a 38.21% interest in BTC Pipeline Co., with other interests held by State Oil Co. of the Azerbaijan Republic (SOCAR) 25%, Statoil ASA 9.58%, Unocal Corp. 8.9%, Turkish state oil company TPAO 7.55%, ENI SPA 5%, Japan's Itochu Corp. 3.4%, and Amerada Hess Corp. 2.36%. TotalFinaElf SA also acquired the right to purchase a 5% stake.

Punk rock and human rights don't necessarily share a common cause, but in the case of the band Blackfire, their music and their message are two integral parts of a solid and strong identity. Born into the heart of the Navajo Nation in an area on Black Mesa that is still in political dispute, band members (and siblings) Jeneda, Clayson and Klee Benally find it impossible to separate their passion for music from their socio-political messages. Mixing pure punk rock on electric equipment with Native American words, rhythm and sometimes dance, their music carries messages about government oppression, relocation of indigenous people, genocide and other rights issues that are often suppressed in this country's dominant media culture — and their outreach doesn't stop on the stage.

Would you give up your career as a journalist in Manhattan to start a cooperative, self-sustaining farm with the man you love? That is what happened to author Kristin Kimball, and she chronicles her life change in The Dirty Life: A Memoir of Farming, Food and Love. It is also the latest selection for the Reading Green book discussion group. Books are available for checkout, but you don't have to read the book to attend.
Here's what the publisher says about The Dirty Life:
Single, thirtysomething, working as a writer in New York City, Kristin Kimball was living life as an adventure. But she was beginning to feel a sense of longing for a family and for home. When she interviewed a dynamic young farmer, her world changed. Kristin knew nothing about growing vegetables, let alone raising pigs and cattle and driving horses. But on an impulse, smitten, if not yet in love, she shed her city self and moved to five hundred acres near Lake Champlain to start a new farm with him. The Dirty Life is the captivating chronicle of their first year on Essex Farm, from the cold North Country winter through the following harvest season—complete with their wedding in the loft of the barn.
Kimball and her husband had a plan: to grow everything needed to feed a community. It was an ambitious idea, a bit romantic, and it worked. Every Friday evening, all year round, a hundred people travel to Essex Farm to pick up their weekly share of the "whole diet"—beef, pork, chicken, milk, eggs, maple syrup, grains, flours, dried beans, herbs, fruits, and forty different vegetables—produced by the farm. The work is done by draft horses instead of tractors, and the fertility comes from compost. Kimball's vivid descriptions of landscape, food, cooking—and marriage—are irresistible.
