Sir James Hopwood Jeans OM FRS[1] MA DSc ScD LLD[2] (11 September 1877 – 16 September 1946[3]) was an English physicist, astronomer and mathematician.
Born in Ormskirk, Lancashire, Jeans was educated at Merchant Taylors' School, Northwood, Wilson's Grammar School,[4] Camberwell and Trinity College, Cambridge.[5] As a gifted student, Jeans was counseled to take an aggressive approach to the Cambridge Mathematical Tripos competition:[6]
- Early in the Michaelmas term of 1896 Walker sent for Jeans and Hardy and advised them to take Part I of the Mathematical Tripos in two years. He told them that he could not guarantee that they would come out higher than fifteenth in the list of wranglers, but he understood that they would never regret it. They accepted his advice, and went to R. R. Webb, the most famous private coach of the period...At the end of his first year, [Jeans] told Walker that he had quarreled with Webb, his coach. Walker accordingly took Jeans himself, and the result was a triumph:...Jeans was bracketed second wrangler with J.F. Cameron...R.W.H.T. Hudson was Senior Wrangler and G.H. Hardy fourth wrangler.
Jeans was elected Fellow of Trinity College in October 1901,[7] and taught at Cambridge, but went to Princeton University in 1904 as a professor of applied mathematics. He returned to Cambridge in 1910.
He made important contributions in many areas of physics, including quantum theory, the theory of radiation and stellar evolution. His analysis of rotating bodies led him to conclude that Laplace's theory that the solar system formed from a single cloud of gas was incorrect, proposing instead that the planets condensed from material drawn out of the sun by a hypothetical catastrophic near-collision with a passing star. This theory is not accepted today.
Jeans, along with Arthur Eddington, is a founder of British cosmology. In 1928 Jeans was the first to conjecture a steady state cosmology based on a hypothesized continuous creation of matter in the universe.[8] This theory was ruled out when the 1965 discovery of the cosmic microwave background was widely interpreted as the tell-tale signature of the Big Bang.
His scientific reputation is grounded in the monographs The Dynamical Theory of Gases (1904), Theoretical Mechanics (1906), and Mathematical Theory of Electricity and Magnetism (1908). After retiring in 1929, he wrote a number of books for the lay public, including The Stars in Their Courses (1931), The Universe Around Us, Through Space and Time (1934), The New Background of Science (1933), and The Mysterious Universe. These books made Jeans fairly well known as an expositor of the revolutionary scientific discoveries of his day, especially in relativity and physical cosmology.
In 1939, the Journal of the British Astronomical Association reported that Jeans was going to stand as a candidate for parliament for the Cambridge University constituency. The election, expected to take place in 1939 or 1940 did not take place until 1945, and without his involvement.
He also wrote the book "Physics and Philosophy" (1943) where he explores the different views on reality from two different perspectives: science and philosophy. On his religious views, Jeans was an agnostic Mason.[9][10]
Jeans married twice, first to the American poet Charlotte Tiffany Mitchell in 1907,[11] then the Austrian organist and harpsichordist Suzanne Hock (better known as Susi Jeans) in 1935. He died in Dorking, Surrey.
At Merchant Taylors' School there is a James Jeans Academic Scholarship for the candidate in the entrance exams who displays outstanding results across the spectrum of subjects, notably in mathematics and the sciences.
Major accomplishments[edit]
One of Jeans' major discoveries, named Jeans length, is a critical radius of an interstellar cloud in space. It depends on the temperature, and density of the cloud, and the mass of the particles composing the cloud. A cloud that is smaller than its Jeans length will not have sufficient gravity to overcome the repulsive gas pressure forces and condense to form a star, whereas a cloud that is larger than its Jeans length will collapse.
Jeans came up with another version of this equation, called Jeans mass or Jeans instability, that solves for the critical mass a cloud must attain before being able to collapse.
Jeans also helped to discover the Rayleigh–Jeans law, which relates the energy density of black-body radiation to the temperature of the emission source.

We can hardly wonder, in the circumstances, that agnostics such as Sir James Jeans and Marcel Boll, and even convinced believers like Guardini, have uttered expressions ol amazement (tinged with heroic pessimism or triumphant detachment) at the apparent insignificance of the phenomenon of Life in terms of the cosmos— a little mold on a grain of dust...

"A great password manager!"
This has solved my password management problems. It works better than the old Netscape/Mozilla manager and FAR better than the Firefox one, plus it also supports IE, so when I MUST use IE, I can still log into sites seamlessly. Yes it DOES cost if you're really gonna make use of it, but it's well worth it, especially since it's regularly updated and all the updates (so far) are free!
I also like that you can set up different identities, so you can easily fill in different information depending on the site you're visiting and what info you want them to have. For instance, I set up a fake identity to log on to shopping sites that don't give you full shipping costs or information unless you create an account (BTW, HORRIBLE way to set up your site! Sometimes I'll just pass on making a purchase at such a site rather than bother with that hassle.). And the secure password generation is a godsend! No longer do I have to make up something memorable AND unique; Roboform just gets the job done!
It still doesn't catch everything, like logging in to write this review, ironically! I'd love it if they could deal with Flash forms, though I don't know if that's even possible

Previous studies have suggested that embryonic vascular endothelial, endocardial and myocardial lineages originate from multipotential cardiovascular progenitors. However, their existence in vivo has been debated and molecular mechanisms that regulate specification of different cardiovascular lineages are poorly understood. An ETS domain transcription factor Etv2/Etsrp/ER71 has been recently established as a crucial regulator of vascular endothelial differentiation in zebrafish and mouse embryos. In this study, we show that etsrp-expressing vascular endothelial/endocardial progenitors differentiate as cardiomyocytes in the absence of Etsrp function during zebrafish embryonic development. Expression of multiple endocardial specific markers is absent or greatly reduced in Etsrp knockdown or mutant embryos. We show that Etsrp regulates endocardial differentiation by directly inducing endocardial nfatc1 expression. In addition, Etsrp function is required to inhibit myocardial differentiation. In the absence of Etsrp function, etsrp-expressing endothelial and endocardial progenitors initiate myocardial marker hand2 and cmlc2 expression. Furthermore, Foxc1a function and interaction between Foxc1a and Etsrp is required to initiate endocardial development, but is dispensable for the inhibition of myocardial differentiation. These results argue that Etsrp initiates endothelial and endocardial, and inhibits myocardial, differentiation by two distinct mechanisms. Our findings are important for the understanding of genetic pathways that control cardiovascular differentiation during normal vertebrate development and will also greatly contribute to the stem cell research aimed at regenerating heart tissues.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Blossom, a Warren Labrador Retriever dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Labrador Retriever for sale in Warren, or seeking a Labrador Retriever dog from a breeder in Warren.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Warren already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Warren breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Labrador Retriever breeders who help with Labrador Retriever rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Warren paves the way for another one to be saved.

The source for "The Second Hour of the Night" is Ovid's story of Myrrha and her father Cinyras, one of the least-known but most suggestive tales--a reversal of the Oedipus myth. Bidart's tormented dramatization of Ovid's version reads like an investigation into the deepest layers of the story. While both poets turn the doomed heroine into a plant, Bidart looks into causes and motivation in a way that Ovid does not.
The short poems in the first section of Desire are also very strong. The poet, torn apart by the death of his lover, gives you a sense of the distance he has traveled over the past 15 years when he retranslates the two-line poem "Catullus: Excrucior," which he brilliantly adapted in The Sacrifice.

I hate and love. Ignorant fish, who evenVersion in Desire:

Sleep No More Directed by Felix Barrett and Maxine Doyle Designed by Barrett, Livi Vaughan and Beatrice Minns Choreography by Doyle Sound Design by Steven Dobbie Lighting Design by Barrett and Euan Maybank Costume Design by David Israel Reynoso An Emursive and Punchdrunk production McKittrick Hotel, New York Held over till March, 2012
One of the hottest theatre tickets in town is the audience immersive experience, Sleep No More. Sleep No More is the creation of Punchdrunk, a British dance Company who originated the show in London in 2003, bringing it to Boston and then to New York. Loosely, very loosely, based on Macbeth, with elements of film noir and Rebecca thrown in, it is physical theatre set in "found space." in this case the setting is the abandoned McKittrick Hotel in Chelsea. The audience, each person wearing a mask, and bound to keep silent at all times follows actors around as the various stories unfold. Its New York run has been extended several times and is currently set to run to March 24th, 2012.
We arrived for our 7 PM time slot on a freezing cold night. We lined up on the snow covered pavement outside the entrance to the old McKittrick Hotel. To quote from the Sleep No More website "Completed in 1939, the McKittrick Hotel was intended to be New York City's finest and most decadent luxury hotel of its time. Six weeks before opening, and two days after the outbreak of World War II, the legendary hotel was condemned and left locked, permanently sealed from the public. Until now..." Tantalizing - because nowhere could I find any details about the building as a hotel and why the hotel was condemned.

Vacation provisions of chapter 140, Laws of 1955, are applicable to ferry system personnel covered by collective bargaining agreement.
- - - - - - - - - - - - -
August 11, 1955
Washington State Toll Bridge AuthorityTransportation BuildingOlympia, Washington Cite as: AGO 55-57 No. 126
Attention: Mr. D. B. Hedges, SecretaryGentlemen:
You have requested the opinion of this office as to whether chapter 140, Laws of 1955, relating to annual leave for state employees, is applicable to personnel of the Washington State Ferries.
In our opinion the answer to this question is "Yes".
Section 1, chapter 140, Laws of 1955, amending RCW 43.01.040, provides in relevant part that
"Each subordinate officer and employee of the several offices, departments, and institutions of state government shall be entitled under their contract of employment with the state government to not less than one working day of vacation leave with full pay for each [[Orig. Op. Page 2]] month of employment if said employment is continuous for six months. * * *" (Emphasis supplied)
Even though personnel of the ferry system are paid from operating revenues, as are employees of the liquor control board, rather than from funds technically in the state treasury, we have no doubt that they are state employees within the contemplation of the quoted statute; because their employer, the toll bridge authority, is a state agency. State ex rel. Pacific Bridge Co. v. Washington State Toll Bridge Authority, 8 Wn. (2d) 337, 340. The phrase "offices, departments and institutions of state government" we think was intended by the legislature to encompass all the branches and divisions of state government without exception; and we see no logical basis for exclusion of the toll bridge authority, which was established to discharge a part of the state's duty to its citizens by providing necessary bridges and ferries.
A possible distinction arises by reason of the fact that most of the operating personnel of the ferry system are covered by collective bargaining agreements negotiated with the authority pursuant to RCW 47.64.030 (1953 Supp.). Those agreements, executed prior to the enactment of chapter 140, are consistent with the provision of RCW 43.01.040 as it stood before the 1955 amendment. That amendment makes a more liberal arrangement for paid annual leave than the previous law. It has been suggested that application of the terms of the new law to ferry system personnel covered by the existing collective bargaining agreements might constitute an impairment of contract, forbidden by Article I, § 23 of the Constitution.
Such an application could not be construed to impair the rights of an employee under such an agreement. Nor do we think it could be said to violate this provision of the constitution in that it altered some right of a state agency as an employer and party to such an agreement. The legislature itself in enacting chapter 140 acted for the state, although the authority carries out legislative policies for the state on the executive level. The purpose of [[Orig. Op. Page 3]] Article I, § 23, was to prevent the impairment by the legislature of rights accruing by contract to parties other than the state, whether such rights exist against the state or some other private party.
We conclude that chapter 140, Laws of 1955, is applicable to personnel of the Washington State Ferries; and that it does not constitute an impairment of collective bargaining agreements between the authority and such personnel by reason of that application. We hope that the foregoing analysis will prove helpful to you.
Very truly yours,
DON EASTVOLDAttorney General

Proposition 111 - Video Transcript
SECRETARY OF STATE KEN BENNETT: Proposition 111. A yes vote shall have the effect of changing the name of the Office of Secretary of State to the Office of Lieutenant Governor. It will also require that each political parties' nominees for Governor and Lieutenant Governor, run on one ticket, and be voted on together in the general election.
"For" Arguments
MODERATOR RICH DUBEK: Thank you, very much. Speaking on the pro side of 111 is Tom Simplot, Chairman of Yes on 111.
MR. TOM SIMPLOT: Good evening. I'm Phoenix City Councilman, Tom Simplot, and I'm also Chair of Vote Yes on Prop 111 Campaign.
Proposition 111 creates the position of Lieutenant Governor, leaving no doubt in voter's minds what the chain of succession would be in Arizona government. It brings transparency to the forefront of our political system.
The Lieutenant Governor would assume the duties of the Secretary of State, creating better government without bigger government. Starting in 2014, each party would have a gubernatorial candidate, and a Lieutenant gubernatorial candidate elected on a ticket. Independent voters would still be -– excuse me, independent candidates would still be allowed to run for the offices.
Creating the position of Lieutenant Governor was among the most popular governmental reforms in a recent statewide survey.
Proposition 111 has its origin in the O'Connor House Project. Justice Sandra Day O'Connor and the O'Connor House Project, brought citizens together this past year to discuss problems facing our state, and to find common sense solutions to improve our government, without making it bigger.
Their recommendations represent the views of a diverse bipartisan group of people from across the state.
Proposition 111 would again simply make our government better, without making it bigger.
Arizona is only one of five states without a Lieutenant Governor position. In our state's short history, we've had five Secretary's of State ascend to the Governor's office. Twice as a result of gubernatorial vacancy, the office has switched political parties mid-term. Renaming the Secretary of State to Lieutenant Governor provides voters a clear understanding of our state's executive line of succession.
Under Proposition 111, the legislature would have four years to tailor the duties and responsibilities of the Lieutenant Governor for Arizona's needs. Much like the Arizona legislature has done for the Secretary of State's Office since statehood.
"Against" Arguments
MODERATOR RICH DUBEK: Thank you, very much. Speaking against Proposition 111 is Joe Sigg, who is a Member of the Arizona Farm Bureau.
MR. JOE SIGG: I get the idea of a Lieutenant Governor. I get the idea that voters have some expectation of four years of continuity when they elect a Governor.
A Lieutenant Governor for Arizona may be a very good idea, but not the way Proposition 111 is written. It's language and argue exceeds the illumination of its headlights. I quote Bob Rob, columnist for the Arizona Republic. "I've been a participant or close observer of the Arizona politics for over three decades. Proposition 111 is one of the most poorly thought out ballot propositions I've seen during that long stretch, and believe me, that's not an easy list to crack."
The Arizona Farm Bureau opposes Proposition 111 for three reasons. One, it forces partisan primary victors to run as a team. This idea of forcing people who may not like one another, or the others policies, can run as a team just because they're the same political party, deserves another look.
Two, the Chief Election Officer that as the Secretary of State, becomes the Lieutenant Governor, and as a team member subservient to the Governor. This idea of having the Chief Elections Officer tied so closely to the Governor, deserves another look. There may come a time when the elector will appreciate a clear separation of powers.
Three, the language of Proposition 111 precludes a run by an independent, because it would prescribe by constitutional language, a process determined by party and primary. Independents have neither. Obviously, you can't block by process independents running for obvious -– running for office. Obviously, that's unconstitutional. Obviously, that would likely prompt a Court case, which the state would lose, at which time the elector will think, why didn't we think through that before?
Well, we can think through that now, and vote no on Proposition 111.
MODERATOR RICH DUBEK: Thank you, very much.

Seattle choreographer Pat Graney revamps her 'Faith Triptych' at On the Boards
Pat Graney Company's "Faith Triptych" is a retrospective of the Seattle choreographer's "Faith," "Sleep" and "Tattoo," revised to fit into a single evening. Graney, who won a Guggenheim fellowship in 1995, is one of Seattle's best-known choreographers.
Seattle Times arts writer
'Faith Triptych'
Pat Graney Company performs 7:30 p.m. Thursday-Sunday, On the Boards, 100 W. Roy St., Seattle; $20 (206-217-9888 or ontheboards.org).Call it a homecoming of sorts — even though Pat Graney, unlike other prominent Pacific Northwest choreographers, never left town except to tour.
On the Boards is remounting three of her signature pieces, "Faith" (1991), "Sleep" (1995) and "Tattoo" (2001), in a single-evening show titled "Faith Triptych" that opens Thursday. All three dances were originally commissioned and presented by On the Boards. In their new "Triptych" format, they've been trimmed considerably, with "Sleep" almost halved from its original two-hour running time.
Florida-born Graney attended The Evergreen State College in the 1970s and made a permanent move to Seattle in 1979 at the age of 24. Her numerous awards include a 1995 Guggenheim fellowship. She was perhaps the first Seattle choreographer of any prominence not to leave Seattle upon reaching a modicum of success.
In a 2000 profile of Graney, former Seattle Times dance critic Mary Murfin Bailey praised Graney for her "witty, dreamlike works of dance theater" and described her as "Seattle's leading modern-dance choreographer" for the past 20 years.
Graney, discussing the piece in an interview in her Seattle offices last month, covered an eclectic range of topics — everything from Jungian dream-work and the paintings of Caravaggio to the making of wedding cakes and her memories of travels to religious shrines in Mexico and Brazil.
While it was sometimes difficult to follow the tangents of her conversation, her passion for what she does was unmistakable. "Faith," "Sleep" and "Tattoo" were not originally conceived as a trilogy, she admitted. In fact, "Faith" was at first going to be a collaboration with the Mud Bay Jugglers. When they dropped out, it became an all-female piece. Graney immediately felt she'd tapped into a vein that needed further exploration.
With "Sleep," she delved into "girls' and women's hopes and dreams," employing an elaborate development process that involved her dancers keeping dream journals and conducting interviews with their mothers. The result is a more literal dance that takes viewers through the stages of girlhood, adolescence and womanhood.
"Tattoo" was something else again. Three years in development, it delved into "trance-speaking" (automatic speaking while walking very slowly across a room) and drew on architectural plans and memories of houses once lived in as a template for much of its movement. Graney enthusiastically described it as "sort of a rhythmic monster." She doesn't necessarily expect the audience to pick up on the architectural origins of the moves they're seeing: "What's important is the specificity of the detail."
In a stripped-down rehearsal in August — with no special lighting or staging effects — the dances, especially "Faith" and "Tattoo," appeared to have good bones. In the final production, elaborate visuals and makeup will be part of the show.
Despite the significant trims and revisions Graney has made to fit these pieces into a 3 ½-hour time slot, she doesn't view "Faith Triptych" as a new work. Instead, she sees it more as a museum-like visual-art retrospective: "an exhibit of work — you're looking at work that happened over a 10-year period."
At the time of creating the pieces, she said, she had little idea of where she was headed. What she does in making a piece — "and maybe other artists do this as well" — is pursue "something of beauty ... not really knowing how it's going to fit together at all," she said.
Certain memories of creating the pieces remain vivid. In "Faith," the final section is performed in the nude, with the dancers in stiletto heels: "We made up all the movement without high heels on. Then we put the heels in, and it completely sexualized it."
In creating the work with her dancers, she said, she usually wants them "to do stuff that they don't know how to do." Pushing them and herself past the limits of familiarity and ability, she contended, is the only way she's able to come up with movement she's never done before.
As for content, she characterized all three parts of the triptych as being "about the everyday, about the preciousness of the moment."
She also sees them as meditations on identity: "How do you see yourself, how do you inhabit who you are — that's always an ongoing question, probably for anybody, but for women in particular."
Part of her exploration of femininity ties into the closed societies that women form, especially when under opprobrious circumstances.
"There're always secrets," she said, "the things that happen in repression, the things that are coveted in repression, and the things that are preserved in repression."
While she has no direct experience with Jungian therapy ("I couldn't afford a real Jungian therapist, unfortunately"), Swiss psychologist Carl G. Jung's ideas remain a key influence on her: "I really am so interested in ... the idea of the collective unconscious and recurring images and archetypes," she said. "I just find that fascinating."
Most of the dancers in "Faith Tryptich" performed in the original productions of the three pieces — and they're in better shape, Graney said, than they were back then. In fact, Frances Kenny's costumes have had to be taken in, in some cases.
"Some people are a lot smaller than they were, actually, which is bizarre."
Not only are the dancers more fit, they're more seasoned in their performance skills, perhaps because several of them, including Peggy Piacenza, KT Niehoff and Amii LeGendre, are now choreographers in their own right.
"It's really great to be dancing with people over 40," Graney enthused. "It's wonderful. Everyone's doing better than they were. They're just more masterful."
While Graney's most recent choreography has had a female focus, she's not averse to setting pieces on men.
Recently at the University of Minnesota, as she led students through the high-heel section of "Faith," the men in the class said they really wanted to do it. Graney gave them the go-ahead, cautioning that they'd need to find a female part of themselves.
They did, said Graney: "And they looked stunning."

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Purported New York Investor Pleads Guilty to Fraud Scheme
Caused Losses Totaling Over $543,000
Greenbelt, Maryland - Allan Richardson, age 40, of Brooklyn, New York, pleaded guilty today to wire fraud and money laundering in connection with a fraudulent investment scheme, causing losses to the victims of at least $543,000.
The guilty plea was announced by United States Attorney for the District of Maryland Rod J. Rosenstein; Special Agent in Charge David Beach of the United States Secret Service – Washington Field Office; and Acting Special Agent in Charge Eric C. Hylton of the Internal Revenue Service - Criminal Investigation, Washington, D.C. Field Office.
"Mr. Richardson preyed on investors promising huge investment returns, but he was the only one who profited," said Acting IRS Special Agent in Charge Eric Hylton. "In order to guard against such fraud schemes, citizens are reminded that, if an investment seems too good to be true, it almost certainly is."
According to Richardson's plea, beginning in or about 2007 and continuing through November 2011, Richardson, using the names "Richardson Securities," "Vantage Point Capital Management," and "Meridian Investments," promoted himself to potential investors as a sophisticated Wall Street investor who had been educated at Yale University. Richardson told his potential investors that he could provide investment returns of 50% or more. Richardson also told his investors that he would be investing the investors' money in complex hedge funds.
In fact, Richardson was not a sophisticated investor, nor had he been educated at Yale University. After receiving funds from his victims, Richardson created fraudulent statements purporting to show that he had invested the victims' money and that they were generating substantial gains. Richardson admitted that he never invested the victims' money, instead depositing the investors' funds into accounts he controlled and using them for personal purposes. Richardson also used several America Online ("AOL") e-mail accounts to correspond with his victims, and assured them that all was well with their investments.
Richardson faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison and a fine of $1 million for wire fraud; and 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine for money laundering. U.S. District Judge Roger W. Titus scheduled his sentencing for May14, 2012 at 12:30 p.m.
This law enforcement action is part of President Barack Obama's Financial Fraud Enforcement Task Force. President Obama established the interagency Financial Fraud Enforcement Task Force to wage an aggressive, coordinated and proactive effort to investigate and prosecute financial crimes. The task force includes representatives from a broad range of federal agencies, regulatory authorities, inspectors general, and state and local law enforcement who, working together, bring to bear a powerful array of criminal and civil enforcement resources. The task force is working to improve efforts across the federal executive branch, and with state and local partners, to investigate and prosecute significant financial crimes, ensure just and effective punishment for those who perpetrate financial crimes, combat discrimination in the lending and financial markets, and recover proceeds for victims of financial crimes.
United States Attorney Rod J. Rosenstein thanked the U.S. Secret Service and IRS-CI for their work in the investigation. Mr. Rosenstein praised Assistant U.S. Attorney Christen A. Sproule, who is prosecuting the case.

Today we have Amy back with us to discuss education funding. As you know, the Republicans have been patting themselves on the back for "increasing" education funding. It's not actually an increase though, as Amy explains.
Podcast: Play in new window | Download
Hey, there's a reason "conservative" starts with "con."
While per pupil funding increased from 1995 to 2011, under Snyder it decreased in real dollars. His corporate tax cuts were offset partially through a shell-game with the education budget.
Snyder was prohibited from directly tapping into the K-12 budget, but he was able to move the money to higher education, and then make offsetting cuts there.
In 2008, 27 school districts were operating with budget deficits. That number has since doubled to 55 – that's 10 percent of Michigan's schools.
Munetrix found that 62 districts are currently in fiscal distress, with another 109 approaching crisis – combined, that's 30 percent of Michigan's schools.
Per pupil funding cuts, combined with a nearly 11 percent decline in enrollment (due to population flight and charters), and increasing legacy costs have created a statewide fiscal meltdown.
The Michigan Public School Employee Retirement System (MPSERS) costs each district, as a portion of revenues, 14.8 percent, a rise from 8.7 percent in 2004.
Adjusting for inflation that translates into a 13.1 percent decline in remaining funds available for education in traditional K-12 schools.
Michigan has wide funding inequities, with some districts receiving $7,000 per pupil, and others up to $12,000.
The lowest funded districts have the same legacy costs as the top tier, and they typically have greater transportation costs, because many of them are outstate rural districts with a larger geographic footprint.
The push to merge and dissolve schools does nothing to address the remaining deficits, not to mention remedy future shortfalls. Research shows that consolidation does not save money, and in many cases is very costly on the front end.
The Education Achievement Authority has been vacuuming-up funds from multiple sources, including secretive bridge loans from struggling DPS, and they too are treading water, even with all their supposed money-saving schemes: rent-a-teachers from Teach for America, and cyber teachers.
State taxes account for 90 percent of education funding as an average.
A group called PAY UP NOW found that the severe cut backs in education funding is about equal to the amount not being paid in state taxes by the top 155 corporations in the nation.
Average tax rates paid among those corporations is 1.8 percent to states, and 3.6 percent in federal taxes.
The Census Bureau reports that K-12 funding rose by about 5 percent per year from 1998 to 2008, then leveled-off or declined.A report from a group called GOOD JOBS FIRST found that it was typical for corporations to play states against each other to maximize their tax breaks.

Research Reveals New Treatments for Atopic Dermatitis
Posted: March 24, 2009
New, more effective therapies are being developed in the treatment of atopic dermatitis, a skin condition that has been on the rise these past few years.
Atopic dermatitis, the common, chronic, inflammatory skin disease marked by red, itchy rashes, has been increasing in prevalence over the past two decades and affects a disproportionate number of children. According to current estimates, approximately 15–20% of children in the United States and other industrialized countries around the world develop atopic dermatitis in the first few years of life. By comparison, only an estimated 3–5% of adults have an active form of the condition, according to statistics from "Management of atopic dermatitis in the pediatric population," which was published in Pediatrics in October 2008. Now, a promising new array of therapies targeting different aspects of atopic dermatitis stands to help patients find relief from the physical and emotional pain caused by this complex condition.
Speaking at the 67th Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Dermatology, dermatologist Lawrence F. Eichenfield, MD, FAAD, professor of pediatrics and medicine (dermatology) at the University of California, San Diego, School of Medicine, reviewed the latest therapies for atopic dermatitis and how the new understanding of the cause of the condition has led to an improved and more targeted treatment approach.
"There has been an abundance of new research looking at genetic abnormalities associated with atopic dermatitis, including those in the skin's barrier function—or its protective outer layer," said Dr. Eichenfield. "It appears that a subset of patients with atopic dermatitis and eczema is born with problems with the function of their outer layer of skin, which can cause the skin to be drier and more prone to the absorption of irritants, microbes and allergens that can penetrate the skin and cause adverse reactions. Fortunately, this new understanding is leading to new and better treatments for patients of all ages."

We are experiencing a slow but pronounced revitalization of downtown Plattsburgh. A number of events this summer stand witness to our resiliency and the excitement many still have for rural America.
Before I describe what this summer in downtown Plattsburgh has become, and what it could be, let me describe how we are fortunate and what we have to do to keep it that way.
Our nation has been changing for the last 150 years. Once a nation of farmers, the industrial revolution attracted their sons and daughters to big cities. A century ago, our nation became more urban than rural.
Also a century ago, agriculture represented a quarter of our nation's output, and the largest share of its workforce. Now, only about 3 percent of our output and workforce are employed in farms that are much larger and more mechanized. Enormous scale, highly mechanized farming has put inexpensive food on our table. It has also stripped opportunity for our young people in rural areas.
Rural America has been bleeding population for generations. It has decimated many communities, but has not taken them all. There are some that are able to develop a mix of agriculture, manufacturing and services. Ours is one of those communities.
We have been fortunate because of the confluence of a rich history, a proud tradition, family roots and a proximity to a ready market in Canada.
Even so, I calculate our county must retain or attract 3,000 families or households by the year 2040. Those we retain are households that would otherwise leave if we do not create a livelihood and a quality of life.
Those who come and those who return are looking with a fresh set of eyes at what could be possible here. Many want to enjoy our natural beauty. However, most also want to experience urban amenities.
Fortunately, there are grassroots sets of individuals and organizations that recognize the challenges ahead. The Strand Center for the Arts and Rotagallery recognize that a vibrant arts community creates an irrepressible urban energy. Vision2Action has assembled business and non-profit leaders to brainstorm how to leverage our energies. And, the Adirondack Young Professionals are a collection of young career-dedicated individuals who know that career is not enough. They are willing to work tirelessly to help forge their own future and benefit the rest of us in the process.
The soft opening of the Strand with the Quartet Gelato concert on Saturday, June 8, will offer us a taste of their vision. But, this landmark opening of a beautifully restored concert hall is but one event that is happening this summer. Events like these will occur at least once a month.
The Quartet Gelato performance is part of an exciting effort called First Friday weekends. The first Friday of each month, starting June 7, will inaugurate First Weekends in downtown Plattsburgh with an art walk, music and performances and coupons to participants for 10 percent off at many merchants the following day.
Then, on the following Saturday from 2 p.m. and afterward, following the closing of the farmers market, there will be all kinds of activities for people of all ages. For most and perhaps all of these Saturdays, City Hall Place will be closed to traffic and will be filled with music, sidewalk chalk art activities, the art walk and demonstrations from such groups as the Children's Imaginarium Museum, the Lumber Jills and other fun groups.
We are encouraging street buskers to perform their magic and demonstrate their talents, and we hope people will garner a sense of an urban center designed around people and foot traffic. We also hope that Friday evening attendees will patronize participating downtown shops on the following Saturday and enjoy their 10-percent-off coupons.
I know there will be comparisons to the ongoing energy and activity on Church Street in Burlington. We can augment the people energy and the open-air setting with a lot of history, reenactments, bagpipes and the like and maintain our distinctive Plattsburgh character. However, would comparisons to a vibrant urban community anywhere be so bad?
Watch for more information on First Friday events. If you can share a talent, drop me a line and I will connect you.

2012 Discover Life in America Conference Coverage including E.O. Wilson
2012 Discover Life in America Conference Coverage including E.O. Wilson
World Famous Harvard Naturalist Helped Celebrate the Effort to Catalog Every Living Species in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park
The search for life in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park was celebrated at a unique gathering in Gatlinburg, March 22-24, hosted by Discover Life in America (DLIA). The All Taxa Biodiversity Inventory Conference brings experts and volunteers from around the world in celebration of citizen science and the amazing biodiversity of Great Smoky Mountains National Park. This year's conference was titled "The Roots of Biodiversity with Dr. E.O. Wilson."
The conference, with over 200 in attendance, was dedicated to a first of its kind project to discover every living species in the Park and was headlined by Wilson – the world renowned naturalist and author who spent a year studying at the University of Tennessee in the 1950s. Wilson has been called one of the most important biological theorists since Darwin by The New York Times and one of the Top 25 Most Influential Americans by Time Magazine.
"Dr. Wilson has been at the forefront of the global effort to save wildlife and species around the world and it is truly an honor to have him speak at our conference," said Todd Witcher, Executive Director of DLIA. "He is a vocal supporter of efforts such as ATBI to document and protect species, and I hope his visit helped spur a renewed effort to save the Smokies' spectacular wealth of biodiversity." During his keynote address Dr. Wilson acknowledged the "groundbreaking work of Discover Life in America," and urged citizens to "support not only this project in the Smokies, but all biodiversity research world-wide."
The main focus of the three-day conference was to highlight the research, conservation and educational efforts being made to understand, manage and restore the estimated 60,000 – 80,000 species in the Smoky Mountains, considered to be one of the world's most biologically diverse ecosystems. At the heart of this effort is the DLIA-organized All Taxa Biodiversity Inventory (ATBI), a unique ecological undertaking to find and document every species of life in Great Smoky Mountains National Park, from ferns and fungi to birds and beetles.
The effort began in 1998 and is serving as a model for efforts to document the diversity of life throughout the nation—at other National Parks, State Parks, and in other preserves, large and small. To date over 900 species have been identified that are new to science and over 7,000 species have been identified that are new records for the Smokies.
In addition to scientific presentations, the conference featured field trips in the Smokies, nature hikes, photography workshops, fund-raising auctions and book signings. The opening reception included an open house at the Twin Creeks Science Center as part of the Gatlinburg Chamber of Commerce program "Business After Hours," which was sponsored by Smoky Mountain Brewery, Hilton Garden Inn, Gatlinburg Chamber of Commerce, and Discover Life in America.
The culminating event was a "Special Evening with E.O. Wilson" at the Knoxville Museum of Art, which was a fundraiser for Discover Life in America. Dr. Wilson signed copies of his new book "The Social Conquest of Earth," for many of the attendees, and again addressed the crowd with his straight-to-the-point call to action to save the Earth's biodiversity. The conference and culminating event were a huge success, and helped to raise much needed funds for Discover Life in America and the Smokies' All Taxa Biodiversity Inventory.

"Out of two new recipes that I tried this past week, my husband preferred this one (and the other one was good, too).

And since my husband isn't a fan of onions of any ki..."
"I'd like to give this recipe 3.5 stars. The lasagna was good and oh so easy and quick to make! That's a plus! I purchased a pound of ground round and a pound of Italian sausage links (5 in the pack). I love the taste of sausage, but I didn't want to chance having the flavor overwhelm the dish. So, I opted for using a pound of the ground beef a..."
"Very tasty! I did not use bell pepper - husband doesn't like them. I didn't have cans of tomato sauce, so I used marinara sauce instead. And I didn't use chopped up tomatoes. And I cooked the ground beef first - sauteing the onions along with it . That's just a preference of mine. I like to drain the meat, even when I use low fat meat such as..."
"I made this for dinner the other night, but didn't eat any of it myself. So I asked my husband to rate the dish, and he would give it 3.7 stars (very specific, I know...so I rounded up to 4). I asked him to explain a little more. He mentioned that the meal was good, but it wasn't to the point where he just can't stop himself from eating more. ..."
"I prepared the marinade Sunday morning, cut the chicken into bite-sized (or two-bites sized) pieces, and let it sit until Monday night's dinnertime. I used my Cuisinart Grill (like the Foreman's Grill), and did this outside because it makes the house very smoky! I did not drain the chicken. I actually dipped each piece of chicken in the marinad..."
"I made these meatballs the other night in order to use up some homemade roasted red pepper tomato sauce. I put some olive oil in my hands prior to rolling the meatballs, placed them on a cookie sheet with parchment paper, and baked them in the oven. I did turn them halfway through the cooking process so that they browned evenly. I then blotted..."
"I had to write a review since I've made this twice now and my husband absolutely loves this dish. I actually found this recipe by the same name on another site. Many reviews were submitted and was a smash hit. I learned from the reviews that 2 lbs of meat is simply too much for just 8 peppers. So I prepare this with just 1 lb of meat and I use mil..."
"There are already so many reviews, but I figured I'd add another since it compliments the recipe provider. I followed the recipe as is and then added a splash of vanilla. It was simple to make. I thought the consistency of the batter was perfect. I had read a review(s) that stated the batter was too runny. It definitely wasn't. The waffles turned ..."
"I made these today since we were having sandwich night. I went ahead and purchased hoagie's from Publix in case these didn't work out for us. I used my bread machine to make the dough.

Some Canadian bishops are in gross error!
I received a letter today from the Apostolic Nuncio to Canada regarding the issue of some bishops and priests forcing people to stand after Holy Communion. This has come about as misinterpretation of the GIRM (General Instruction on the Roman Missal) as it is in the Third Edition in force since the First Sunday of Advent past.
The Archbishop refers to my own provision of the evidence to him of the Dubium and Responsum to the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops back in 2003. This fact has been well publicised and is readily available. The fact that some Canadian bishops and liturgists have taken a different view is unacceptable.
Vox Cantoris' letter received from the Apostolic Nuncio |
Let me repeat again.
The bishops, priests and liturgists who have forced you to stand after Holy Communion and to remain standing until all have received are wrong. Read that again. THEY ARE WRONG AND IN ERROR.
In many places during Holy Mass, some of the Christian faithful upon returning to their seats after receiving the Eucharist wish to remain in private prayer sitting or kneeling or standing. Is it the intent of the statute of the third Latin edition of the Roman Missal to stop this practice?
Negative in our minds.
The mind of the Congregation is that by means of the provisions of the General Instruction of the Roman Missal, n. 43, on the one hand is intended to grant broad terms -- some uniformity of the habit of the Congregation for the various parts of the body in the celebration of Holy Mass; (Vox--as example, the Gloria, Offertory, or Lord's Prayer) and at the same time on the other side of the body, not to regulate the habit so rigorously in such a way that those who wish to stand or to sit or to be on their knees (after Holy Communion) were no longer free to do so.

Most likely codling moth. The "worm" may have left already. |
