Microsoft Terrified Companies Won't Upgrade To Windows 7
For the moment, put aside any concerns over Microsoft's flagging online presence or the long-term threat of Office-competitors like Google (GOOG) Apps. The biggest problem for Microsoft over the next 12-18 months is whether enterprise customers, a whopping 71% of whom never upgraded off Windows XP, will embrace the upcoming Windows 7, or whether they'll stick it out with XP for years to come.
The specific problem: While a Vista-to-7 upgrade seems easy, upgrading from XP-to-7 (or even XP-to-Vista, which is how Microsoft got stuck in this hole in the first place) is a major headache. For an enterprise client with thousands (or tens of thousands) of PCs, upgrading off XP could easily be the most difficult and/or expensive IT deployment a company will undertake all year.
Nice try, but no one is going to upgrade Vista now.
What we still don't hear, and what we're starting to fear there's no good answer for: Other than the fear of having official support for Windows XP applications cut off, just what exactly are the quantifiable, ROI-generating benefits of Windows 7 for the enterprise? It's certainly not "touch"

Airport's runway
extension is OK'd
WILMINGTON — Plans to upgrade and continue the revitalization of a southern Vermont airport have gotten another big boost after Wilmington's Development Review Board approved a plan that to extend the runway.
The conditional-use permit issued last week calls for a runway that would be no more than 4,450 feet long and 75 feet wide.
Much of the airport is in Dover, but a section of the runway is in Wilmington.
Earlier this year the former Mount Snow Airport was purchased and renamed the Deerfield Valley Airport. It's part of a broader plan to bring more visitors to the region.

Are you feeling the heat? I hope where you are it's a beautiful, sunny day. If not, these Resort looks will cheer you up, like they did me. This group is patriotic, with the warm weather-color combo of red, white, and blue, as well as neutral with greys, ivory, and beiges exhibiting unique styling. It wouldn't be a Fab slideshow without some frilly dress, compliments of Celine and Versace, and some disheveled chic, thank you Charles Nolan. And you heard it here first: Biker shorts are back! Or at least at Prada they are . . . and I'm feeling it.

MFAT awards Citibank five-year global banking contract to handle the NZ$110 mln spent annually by Kiwi diplomats across 48 countries
By David Hargreaves
Citibank has become banker to the diplomats after winning a contract with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade to handle the NZ$110 million a year spent by MFAT's foreign diplomatic posts.
Citibank was awarded the business after a tender launched late last year. The result was announced on the Government Electronic Tenders Service website. There was no indication given of the value of the contract.
MFAT's intention is that all of the foreign posts' banking-related services will be "bundled", resulting in cost savings. It is intended that as much as possible both the banking activities and accountability for them will be removed from diplomatic posts.
According to MFAT's original tender proposal document the department till now has had 34 individual banking relationships with 73 bank accounts in 38 currencies and 48 countries. The annual expenditure of NZ$110 million is spread across some 42,000 banking transactions, with 34% of these involving sums under NZ$250.
Diplomats have 500 NZ-issued credit cards, with a combined limit of NZ$2.9 million and a monthly combined spend of about NZ$160,000 through an average 450 transactions. Additionally there are another 230 credit cards issued in overseas countries with a combined credit limit of NZ$1.7 million.
"Current demand for offshore banking services is largely driven by the need to pay staff and suppliers by cheque and cash," MFAT said.
"MFAT's current banking model has a heavy reliance on cash, low levels of electronic banking and decentralised payment and transactional relationships with banks in-country."
Related Topics
This system of operating made for "limited visibility" of offshore banking transactions at MFAT's Wellington headquarters, "which impacts efficient cash management", MFAT said.
The contract is part of MFAT's "ministry business model project" through which the department is seeking to "design a modern, more efficient operating platform, with a streamlined back office able to support a dynamic front office capable of a greater foreign and trade policy, consular services and development assistance impact at less cost".

LINCOLN — The Lincoln Historical Society's latest exhibit is full of familiar names and faces: those of neighbors, brothers, fathers, grandfathers and great-grandfathers. For each one there are many other men and women who've represented Addison County in the armed forces.
Ask Norman Steadman, the curator at the historical society's museum, and he'll tell you that these are the faces of service, the embodiment of the sacrifices that Addison County residents have made for their families, towns and country over the decades.

LINCOLN — Lincoln Community School teacher Alice Leeds has been named this year's recipient of the Governor's Heritage Award for Outstanding Educator, earning the commendation in large part because of the rigorous "place-based" learning she encourages among her fifth- and sixth-grade students.
LINCOLN — Voters in Lincoln on Monday night approved a $1.6 million 2010-2011 school year spending plan for the Lincoln Community School.
The budget required a two-part vote because per-pupil spending at the school last year exceeded the state average, and this year's budget is greater than last year's budget adjusted for inflation. Voters first approved $1,599,757 in spending in a paper ballot vote, with 69 voting in favor and 30 against.
In a subsequent voice vote, residents also approved the additional $9,778 in spending deemed necessary by the board.
LINCOLN — Lincoln residents on Monday night will weigh in on a proposed 2010-2011 school year spending plan two months after a vote on the Lincoln Community School budget was postponed at the town's annual meeting in early March.
The budget will require a two-part vote because per-pupil spending in the school last year exceeded the state average by 1 percent, and this year's budget is greater than last year's budget adjusted for inflation.
LINCOLN — The Lincoln selectboard is expected to approve a new version of the town plan next month, paving the way for the town's planning commission to forge ahead with long-awaited changes to Lincoln zoning regulations.
The selectboard has scheduled a final public hearing on the plan for May 18 at 6 p.m. at the Lincoln town clerk's office. The hearing comes after the board mistakenly voted to adopt the plan earlier this spring, but realized soon after that they hadn't scheduled the formal final hearing necessary to adopt the plan.
LINCOLN — Bern Terry wants his clients to think of him like the family nephew: friendly, available and ready to step in when an elder needs a little extra help around the home.
That concept of flexible, personal home care is at the heart of a new for-profit senior care business expanding this month to Addison County. As the company's name implies, Extended Family steps in to help senior citizens remain independent and in their homes — much like a family member or neighbor might pitch in as someone ages.
LINCOLN — School board officials in Lincoln last week warned a proposed 2010-2011 school year spending plan after a vote on the budget was put on hold at the town's annual meeting in early March.
The new spending plan calls for $1,609,535 in expenditures. According to Addison Northeast Supervisory Union business manager, the educational spending in the budget is virtually unchanged from the $1.4 million figure presented to the town in early March.
LINCOLN — Ask blacksmith Brian Anderson, and the South Starksboro metalworker will tell you that a cool, hard lump of iron and a soft piece of clay aren't as different as you might think.
Sure, you may have to heat iron to 2,500 degrees before it becomes malleable — and malleable only with the force of a hammer and tongs. But at that point, he said, the distinction between hard and soft, clay and iron, all but disappears.
LINCOLN — At first glance, the classroom-turned-dressing room at the Lincoln Community School looked on Tuesday night like the staging grounds of your average elementary school play.
Fifth- and sixth-graders bustled to and fro, snatching up pieces of their costumes and patiently waiting turns at makeshift hair and makeup stations. Teacher Alice Leeds darted from school gymnasium to classroom, from classroom to gymnasium, herding volunteer musicians into place as the students prepared for their first dress rehearsal.
p>LINCOLN — Three candidates are vying for an open seat on the Lincoln selectboard come Town Meeting Day.
The position was formerly held by Donovan Mayo, who died in the fall. Ethan Ready was appointed to serve the remainder of Mayo's term, but has chosen not to run for reelection.
The three candidates seeking the job are Jim Adams, Elwin Isham and Brian Goodro.

"Everything you need in such a beautiful setting"

"Excellent accommodation in stunning surroundings"
6 of us and the dog stayed in Lochside Lodge for 3 nights in April. The Lodge is beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean and the views from the huge lounge windows are absolutely fantastic - mountains, a small lochan with plenty of birds and a hill nearby dotted with deer. We used this as a base to visit nearby Loch Tay and Kinloch Rannoch. Weather was mixed for our weekend but can imagine it would be amazing in the summer.
Booking was simple and Stephen couldn't have been more helpful.
Would definitely recommend and hope we can return soon.

We have stayed at Lochside Lodge twice now and both times it has been great!
The first time we went for a quiet weekend away and loved it so much that we booked for a full week here when my fiancé was taking part in the Etape Caledonia. For any cyclists out there, this is a great spot for the event as not only is it on the route, its also handy enough for getting to the start and finish line for anyone who is taking part.
We have stayed in a few lodges in our time but none have compared to this one. The furnishings are of a very high quality and we found the underfloor heating to be fab!
Although there are a few lodges surrounding this one, we didn't see or hear another person the whole time we were there so you really do get the feeling of privacy if that is what you are going for.
The lodge is a 5 minute drive from Schiehallion which is a great Munro to climb – we have done it both time we stayed at the lodge.
We found the owners to be a great help for any questions we had and we would certainly recommend Lochside Lodge! Even after two visits I can safely say we still haven't got bored of the place and will certainly be returning again

"Beautiful lodge, stunning views and a great location."
Highly recommended. Scrupulously clean, tastefully decorated in Scottish style this lodge was a great find. Great restaurants nearby and loads to do, you'll never get bored, whether your relaxing and admiring the view of Schiehallion from the decking or out on the tourist trail this is an excellent base for anyone thinking of visiting the beautiful Scottish highlands. I'll be back!

It was our first time at Lochside Lodge. We took our Springer Spaniel with us for a holiday.
The lodge is amazing. It is huge and really beautiful. There is plenty of room inside and it is really well equipped.
It is in a lovely secluded area with afew other log cabins on site and a deer park just across the lake in front of the lodge. It is ideal for a peaceful holiday, but is still within easy reach of Pitlochry and other towns and villages.
We would definitely recommend a visit to Lochside Lodge. It was great for walking our dog and we will hopefully be returning in the near future..

"Beautiful lodge in a lovely location."
This was our fourth stay at Lochside Lodge in as many years and each time has been thoroughly enjoyable and I would highly recommended it.
The lodge is absolutely beautiful with excellent facilities and we particularly like that each of the 3 bedrooms has ensuite facilities - it just adds a touch of luxury as well as privacy when travelling with friends or extended family. The main living area is open plan and therefore very spacious so even if there are 6 adults it does not seem crowded in any way. The underfloor heating keeps you cosy but in summer there's a lovely deck overlooking the lochan - nice for a BBQ & glass of wine!
The lodge is in a very peaceful location and we like to watch the deer on the nearby hillside although we couldn't walk there at this time of year as it's rutting season. However the stag is an impressive sight.
The lodge is close to Schehallion and Ben Lawers for those wanting to walk and there are plenty things for tourists with Scottish Crannog Centre, Blair Castle, Pitlochry Theatre, Queens View, Killiecrankie and The Hermitage etc all within a short travelling distance.
A brilliant place to stay and we will definitely return.

"big, beautiful,solid lodge with relaxing lovely scenery with views of wildlife on deer park"
my husband and I stayed in the lodge with friends for a week, i was pleasantly surprised at the size of the lodge, each bed room with its own bathroom, the lounge /kitchen had large windows which overlooked the small loch where the 2 dozen or so reindeer, sheep and goats resided there each day, the lodge had a large patio, great pubs a short car drive away for meals and small villages to visit, ideal for a relaxing holiday with great walks/fishing
8 Nov 2013
"Great Birthday Weekend"
We stayed at the lochside lodge for my mums 50th birthday for 3 nights. The lodge is the most beautifully decorated lodge I've been in to date with its stunning wood and dear theme. A very well equipped lodge and the bedrooms were lovely and spacious. Having binoculars provided to look onto the deer park across the loch was a fantastic addition and they were well used.
My only faults of this stay was the second bedrooms heating wasn't working so my brother had to sleep on the couch as it was too cold to sleep in. Also, could do with an updated tv system for the rainy days at the lodge.
8 Nov 2013
"absolutely fabulous place to stay"
My wife and I who live in Italy(retired)stayed at the lodge from 30th sept to 5th october.It was everything we hoped for and more.Really luxurious,spotlessly clean and in the most wonderful area.We will certainly recommend this lodge to our Italian friends.

David Bowie Rejected Offer to Collaborate With Coldplay
Word to the wise, courtesy of Coldplay frontman Chris Martin: If you want David Bowie to appear on your album, you'd better bring your A game.
Word to the wise, courtesy of Coldplay frontman Chris Martin: If you want David Bowie to appear on your album, you'd better bring your A game.
Steve Forman, a session drummer who has worked with such luminaries as Pink Floyd and David Bowie, is facing deportation from the U.K. According to Britain's Home Office, he does not earn enough money to remain in the country.
He doesn't remember recording 'Pin Ups.'
David Bowie is sharing a dimly lit -- and, frankly, chilling -- video that's just as intriguing as his epic new song, an orchestral collaboration called 'Sue (Or in a Season of Crime).'
Classic rock will be well represented in this year's Black Friday Record Store Day releases, which will include special collectible vinyl from Jimi Hendrix, David Bowie, Joe Satriani and more.
As promised, David Bowie's new song 'Sue' finds him taking a jazz-inflected detour, continuing a varied musical career that's been filled with them.
One of the fun things about being a David Bowie fan is that you never know what you're going to get from him.
David Bowie's follow-up to 2013's 'The Next Day' is reportedly on the way.
There's still no word on if or when David Bowie might get around to following up 2013's 'The Next Day' LP, but fans hungry for new music can look forward to a snack between meals later this year.
An emergency angioplasty caused the last month of David Bowie's 2004 tour to be cancelled.
As it turns out, David Bowie was not to blame for astronaut Chris Hadfield's viral video for 'Space Oddity' being removed from the internet.
Someone has removed the music from the video of Mick Jagger and David Bowie's cover of Martha and the Vandellas' 'Dancing in the Street.'

Torture Report Shows Senate Staff Visited CIA's Salt Pit Prison, Kept No Records at Agency's Request |
By: Jeff Kaye Thursday December 18, 2014 11:00 am |
There are many aspects to the exploding torture scandal that are being spun by interested parties. That's not necessarily bad, and in fact to be expected. But it's hard to get to the actual truth. One problem is that the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence Committee (SSCI) has only released the executive summary [PDF] of their [...]
Senate Report Reveals CIA Torture Program Originated in Same Department as MKULTRA |
By: Jeff Kaye Thursday December 11, 2014 12:05 pm |
The release of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI) executive summary (PDF) to their report, "Committee Study of the Central Intelligence Agency's Detention and Interrogation Program," has rightly gotten a wide amount of press coverage. But one revelation has gone notably unreported. The man associated with implementing the most brutal part of the interrogation program was drawn out of the same division of the CIA that some decades ago had been responsible for the notorious MKULTRA program.

UN Review Cites Torture & "Ill Treatment" in U.S. Army Field Manual's Appendix M |
By: Jeff Kaye Friday November 28, 2014 5:30 pm |
The United Nations Committee Against Torture (UNCAT) has released their "Concluding observations on the third to fifth periodic reports of United States of America" in regards to US adherence to the prohibitions against torture and cruel, inhumane, and degrading forms of treatment of prisoners.
Within the context of the world of diplomacy, the UNCAT findings belie the US insistence that it abides by the Convention Against Torture treaty (CAT), or that it is an adequate model for humane treatment of prisoners.
In particular, the committee took aim at the presence of ill-treatment and torture within the Army Field Manual's Appendix M, which purports to describe a "restricted interrogation technique" called "Separation." In a victory for those who oppose government-sanctioned torture and abuse of prisoners, the UNCAT called for the US "to review Appendix M of the Army Field Manual (AFM) in light of its obligations under the Convention."
New DoD Directive on Detainees Allows Sleep and Sensory Deprivation, Biometric IDs |
By: Jeff Kaye Wednesday September 17, 2014 6:00 pm |
On August 19, 2014, the Department of Defense released an updated version of its Directive 2310.01E on the "DoD Detainee Program." It supercedes the previous version, dated September 5, 2006.
Earlier this month, Steve Vladek at the Just Security blog, pondered why the government chose this particular time to release the new, updated directive. While his observations are important and worth considering, much of importance is omitted from his brief analysis.
In my analysis — besides the potential legalities explored by Vladek, which impact the definition of what the government considers the definition of an "unprivileged belligerent" (like the detainees at Guantanamo), and access of legal counsel to these prisoners — the new directive propounds a number of new rules that summarize the Obama administration's detainee regime, particularly as it relates to Guantanamo.
CIA Intervention in Ukraine Has Been Taking Place for Decades |
By: Jeff Kaye Sunday August 10, 2014 6:59 am |
Almost totally lost in the reporting on the Ukraine crisis is the fact the CIA had an active program of covert intervention into Ukraine for nearly seven decades. The history of that intervention is not being examined by any side in this conflict because it is tied up with the Cold War and the political fallout of the fall of the Soviet Union. But the politics from that time threaten to flare up again, as NATO and Russia move towards a possible armed confrontation.
Obama Admits He Banned Only "Some" of the CIA's Torture Techniques |
By: Jeff Kaye Sunday August 3, 2014 4:00 pm |
There was a cascade of coverage of the President's August 1 remarks concerning John Brennan and his defense of his embattled CIA chief, as Obama was also widely derided for his seeming defense of those who tortured "some folks" after 9/11. (Obama did not mention that the order to torture came from the Oval Office.)
"Well, at least he called the crimes out as 'torture," some observers noted. Others, including some in the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI), called for John Brennan's resignation as CIA director after he admitted the CIA had spied on Congressional investigators who were writing a thousands-of-pages-long report on the CIA Rendition, Detention, and Interrogation program.
An Executive Summary of that report, in a censored version produced by the CIA itself, is now back in the hands of the SSCI, who may or may not release it soon. The Committee has already decided the full 6000 or so page report itself will not be released for years (if ever), a cover-up of immense proportions.
Psychologists' Call for End to Abusive Interrogation Techniques in Army Field Manual |
By: Jeff Kaye Saturday May 3, 2014 5:20 pm |
A group of psychologists who have been outspoken in opposing the use of U.S. medical professionals in interrogations have released a letter to President Barack Obama and Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel condemning the ongoing use of interrogation techniques amounting to torture and cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment of prisoners.
The use of such techniques are found in the current Army Field Manual (PDF), and in particular in its special Appendix M, which summarizes a set of techniques, under the label "separation," that are only meant to be used on prisoners who the U.S. government claims don't meet the additional Prisoner of War protections of the Geneva Conventions — prisoners like those held in indefinite detention at Guantanamo.
Newly Revealed Portions of CIA Torture Manual: Doctoring Tapes, Foreign Detentions & Interrogating 'Defectors" |
By: Jeff Kaye Thursday April 10, 2014 9:22 am |
Describing interrogation techniques and approaches used during the Cold War, an old 1960s CIA counterintelligence interrogation manual advised covertly photographing the interrogation subject and also audio taping his interrogations.
A tape player could free an interrogator from note taking, the CIA's experts wrote, while also providing a live record of an interrogation that could replayed later. The manual's author noted that for some of those interrogated, "the shock of hearing their own voices unexpectedly is unnerving."

Lindsay Lohan's lawsuit against rapper Pitbull for name-checking her in a song is thrown out by judge
Pitbull has seen Lindsay Lohan's lawsuit against him quashed in court.
Lohan sued the rapper in 2011 for using her name in his hit song Give Me Everything when he used the line: 'I got it locked up like Lindsay Lohan.'
Lohan claimed Pitbull never got permission to use her name and shouldn't profit from it's use.
Defeated: Lindsay Lohan has had her lawsuit against rapper Pitbull thrown out of court; he used her name in the song and it's protected by the first amendment
But on Thursday - according to TMZ - a New York federal judge ruled that Lindsay wrong because the song is a work of art protected by the first.
Lindsay was recently accused of ruining the $1,750 designer dress she borrowed for a glitzy New York gala earlier this month.
The 26-year-old Liz & Dick star wore a floor-length gold and silver beaded gown by Theia Coture to an amfAR fundraiser on February 6.
But a photo of the gown obtained by US Weekly appears to show the same gown cut into a mini dress before its return to the designer.
Glittering: Lindsay Lohan arrived to the amfAR charity gala in New York City in the Theia Couture gown on February 6
A representative for Theia told MailOnline the designer has yet to receive the gown, two weeks after the event.
'The dress was loaned in good faith to Phillip Bloch, Lindsay Lohan's stylist. We were informed by Mr. Bloch's assistant that the dress was damaged during the course of the evening,' the spokesman said.
'The dress has not been returned, and it wasn't until we saw the photos on in the media, that we became aware of the actual condition of the gown.'
'Further action has yet to be determined,' according to their statement.
High price of fashion: The gown is estimated to be worth $1,750
A spokesman for celebrity stylist Phillip Bloch confirmed to MailOnline their office dressed the actress for the gala. They declined to comment further.
US Weekly reports Lohan had ripped the gown partying at a nightclub after the AIDS fundraiser.
Improvising, she is said to have turned to a 'stylist friend' who helped her find a temporary fix.
'She couldn't possibly wear it like
that - so her stylist friend went to the club bouncer and requested some
scissors to repair the torn part of the dress,' the insider said.
'She turned it into a mullet! Only a fashiony person would do that!' the source added.
A representative for Lohan has not replied to MailOnline's request for comment.
Before the 'rip': The 26-year-old actress is accused of sending the dress back in tatters after a friend cut it into a 'mullet' mini-dress
Charlie Sheen reportedly set the actress up with Bloch after she turned down his offer to pay for half of the gown.
The actors struck up a friendship while working on forthcoming comedy Scary Movie 5.
Financial woes have wracked Lohan for
several months and Sheen confirmed he came to the rescue, covering
$100,000 over her $233,904 tax debt.
Most recently, the Mean Girls actress
reportedly moved into a friend's apartment in Manhattan after she was
'mortified' by rumours she had been staying at her mother's Long Island,
New York home to save money, according to RadarOnline.
The New York Post subsequently reported the home is in foreclosure.
Chase Bank, who provided the mortgage for the property, served Dina Lohan court papers intending to foreclose the home earlier this month, according to the newspaper.

George today and Candace yesterday had posts regarding the February 4 vote by the University of California regents on lowering admission requirements. After the jump is my own take, an updated version of a podcast I did last year.
There is a movement afoot to have the University of California's Board of Regents vote on February 4 to get rid of the SAT II as part of UC's admissions process. The reason, predictably, is to change the racial makeup of the student body currently being admitted.
And here's an interesting twist: While designed to increase the number of blacks, getting rid of the SAT II will apparently hurt not only whites but also Asians and Hispanics. State assemblyman Van Tran recently wrote that the proposed move "could diminish opportunities for tens of thousands of UC applicants from minority, immigrant, and disadvantaged families." Former U.S. Representative Doug Ose agreed, in this op-ed for The Berkeley Daily Planet.
Actually, this twist is maybe not so interesting; it's becoming old hat. The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) recently proposed reinstating racial preferences in its federal highway contracting. And it proposed that, from now on, these preferences would include blacks and exclude not only whites but also Hispanics and some Asians. And if you don't get a preference when others do, of course, then the fact of the matter is that you are discriminated against.
Tension between blacks and Hispanics in California is not news either. A few years ago, California lawyer Nicolas C. Vaca wrote The Presumed Alliance, the subtitle of which was "The Unspoken Conflict between Latinos and Blacks and What It Means for America." More recently, New America Media published a survey that highlighted the extent to which there are tensions between Hispanics, Asians, and African Americans.
These inter-minority tensions are not exactly inspiring, but they do point to an obvious solution, which is.
As America becomes an increasingly multiracial and multiethnic society, a legal regime that sorts people according to skin color and what country their ancestors came from becomes increasingly untenable. Accordingly, we must embrace without further delay the colorblind ideal rather than a divisive racial spoils system. As a prerequisite to mutual respect, everyone must know that everyone else is being judged by the same standard, without discrimination.
And make no mistake about it: Getting rid of selection criteria (like the SAT II) because they don't give you the racial numbers you want is a form of discrimination.
Suppose the shoe were on the other foot, and the Regents were being urged by whites to stop using a test that was resulting in "too many" blacks being admitted. One hopes that the Regents would simply tell this crowd to get lost.
And, indeed, there is precedent for rejecting such schemes as illegal. The Supreme Court long ago ruled that the infamous "grandfather clauses"–which superficially might appear neutral but were deliberately designed to help whites register to vote at the expense of blacks–were unconstitutional.
The inconvenient truth is that students in some groups (like Asians) are reaching the age of 18 with, on average, better academic credentials than those of students in other groups (like blacks). The reason for this is not that the tests are unfair. Rather, the main reason is that more than 7 in 10 blacks are now born out of wedlock, versus fewer than 2 out of 10 Asians and Pacific Islanders.
As the Educational Testing Service has warned (in a study published in fall 2007, quoting from "the most recent and large-scale synthesis of research on single-parent families in the United States"): "Studies demonstrate quite conclusively that children who live in single-mother families score lower on measures of academic achievement than those in two-parent families."
Since the tests are perfectly valid, what is unfair–to those who have worked hard and therefore do well on them–is to throw them out because "too many" students of one color have scored high. Harvard, Stanford, and other top schools recognize the value of the SAT II. Harvard's dean of admissions recently announced that the university's own internal studies have proven the efficacy of the test in predicting academic success, noting it is a better predictor than high school grades, for instance. Prof. Keith Widaman, who heads UC Davis's faculty committee on admissions, likewise defended the SAT II in this recent Sacramento Bee article.
Accordingly, the University of California's Board of Regents must refuse to jerry-rig the undergraduate admissions system to ensure a predetermined, politically correct racial and ethnic mix. Instead, educators ought to figure out what criteria will select students with the most willingness and the greatest ability to do the school's academic work, and then apply those criteria to all students, without regard to race or ethnicity–and let the chips fall where they may.What's wrong with that?

... Promoting and perpetuating these memories are vital to developing a comprehensive understanding of the Holocaust. But achieving that understanding becomes more complex when the visions one tries to forget overpower the benefit of memory. In the case of the Nazi Rally Grounds, there is a desire to forget the visions of thousands of people saluting Hitler, and remove the structures he built solely for the purpose to glorify Nazism. But is that ...

reviews & comments (30)
Yum! My husband's fav, especially when paired with a good vanilla ice cream. Been making it since 2004!
Very VERY rich, despite the fact that I used a pint of heavy cream and a pint of 2% milk without adjusting the measurements of the other ingredients. I suspect the original recipe would be too rich for my personal taste. Adding the extra milk and cream filled my 1 ½ quart ice cream maker to capacity. The ice cream was very soft after 30 minutes of turning, but firmed up in the freezer. Nice texture.
This is a very good ice cream, however the instructions do leave off a few important points! Most important of all, when adding the cream, make sure you first bring the cream to at least a simmer. Pouring cold cream onto the caramel mixture (which is at about 360F) will literally cause an explosion of sugar and cream all over your kitchen. Also, a pure copper pot works best for this recipe as they are the most effective at evenly distributing the heat -- thus ensuring a wonderful caramel. For those reviewers who said that it's too sweet, I think they didn't cook the sugar long enough. It really needs to be a very deep amber -- practically brown. If you don't cook it long enough, the sugars won't have completely caramelized and you'll end up with an ice cream that is significantly sweeter. Also, you must freeze this for at least 3 hours after making it to get a true ice cream consistency.
This is ridiculously good. Used 3 beans (I found them on the cheap) added a good measure of extract, too. And I used only 6 yolks. I can't imagine ever buying ice cream again when you can make this!
Simply put--amazing. Not too thick, not too heavy. I followed another reviewer's suggestion of 6 eggs instead of 8, definitely the thing to do.
I agree with previous reviewers that this is gelato, not ice cream; even with plenty of freezing, it's quite soft. I used six yolks rather than eight. It is extremely rich -- one small scoop is plenty. But my kids thought this was fabulous and I'll make another batch to go with the flourless chocolate cake with caramel sauce (easy and delicious!) for a Halloween party.

Exercise 1.6
Alyssa P. Hacker doesn't see why if needs to be provided as a special form. "Why can't I just define it as an ordinary procedure in terms of cond
?" she asks. Alyssa's friend Eva Lu Ator claims this can indeed be done, and she defines a new version of if
(define (new-if predicate then-clause else-clause)
(cond (predicate then-clause)
(else else-clause)))
Eva demonstrates the program for Alyssa:
(new-if (= 2 3) 0 5)
5(new-if (= 1 1) 0 5)
Delighted, Alyssa uses new-if
to rewrite the square-root program:
(define (sqrt-iter guess x)
(new-if (good-enough? guess x)
(sqrt-iter (improve guess x)
What happens when Alyssa attempts to use this to compute square roots? Explain.
It took me a while to get this new-if working in clojure, but here's what I came up with. Any suggestions?
(def new-if (fn [predicate then-clause else-clause]
(cond predicate then-clause
:else else-clause)))

The autumn season promotion season is coming. You are welcome to buy an outboard engine to fit your boat. With a power Yamaha Outboard Motor on your boat you can go out to the deep sea for fishing.
Before you buy the Yamaha Outboard Motors, there are several points you need to consider with. You need to choose which type is better for your boat, the 4 stroke or the 2 stroke? A 4-stroke engine tends to be more sophisticated than a 2-stroke option as ignition process is split into several different cycles.
Start the boating season off right with proper outboard engine preparation. Ensuring that a Yamaha Outboard Engine is in excellent working condition before leaving the driveway can prevent frustrating, embarrassing and costly delays at the boat launch. After storage, outboard engines need to be cleaned, inspected and tested before the first use of the season in http://www.coalgovpro.com/. Perform these checks in advance of any planned adventures.
The price is also the important factor for you when choose an outboard engine. Yamaha Outboard For Sale can supply you factory price, discounts and free shipping cost. You are welcome to make an order today, we will supply you best service and fastest delivery.
I am very happy to read this. This is the kind of manual that needs to be given and not the random misinformation t hat's at the other blogs. Appreciate your sharing this best posting. Gebyar Bola Sbobet

Myspace is a breeding ground for spammers, retards, rapists, stalkers, and crappy bands.
I don't have a problem with myspace.
Honestly, all the people on my "friends list" are people I know in real life anyway. Mostly old high school friends that have moved away. So yeah...
But I think it gets unhealthy when that's all someone does is look at myspace... Because I agree... There are a LOT of creeps and stalkers out there.
Myspace is a breeding ground for spammers, retards, rapists, stalkers, and crappy bands.
Hey now lol, there are some decent bands and artists there at Myspace, I've got buddies that have space there. Anyways though, is it bad? Well I really don't go off the Myspace Music path there, except a few close friends I have that live far away that we get ahold of each other through there.
But I do have to say it is a place for tards and friend...um...collectors, spammers and just general idiots. But hey thats the world today, I generally don't expose myself to that part of it so.
There is no shortage of wankers on there though that are trouble, so just use your common sense when going there.
Things that used to be will never be again, move on and find new ambitions in the world.
It depends on what information you share with people. Don't tell them everything about you or some stalker might get you! I might make a myspace,but I'm still not sure if I will. It can be bad if you don't be careful! There are crazy sick perverts on the internet! You know that and I know that.
Hmm... Actually, I think it depends on how you use it.
ya, i agree, it depends on the user.
the users reflect the site,
some user does "that"
well, you do the math
as many people said, its all up to u. if you dont give out personal info to strangers, or ur password, or anything that can hurt u, ull be fine. many other sites are saying that their just like myspace but are safer. that is wrong, on any site like myspace a person can pretend to be something their not. a site cannot be fool proof to stalkers or sumptin

Great Honeymoon
Posted Nov 3, 2014My fiancé and I spent a week at Galley Bay for our honeymoon and we loved it. We specifically looked for an all-inclusive resort that was smaller and more intimate. Pros: Beautiful beach Great beachfront suites Above average food Quiet Good activities such as biking and kayaking Cons: The pool is a bit boring Wish there were more restaurants to choose from
for Couplesby A verified travelerfrom Houston, Tx
Good choice for a relaxing couples vacation.
Posted Oct 26, 2014Pros: Location and staff.
Cons: Wine list. We only drink wine and had to go to town to find variety.
Location: Not much attractions aside from water tours/activities for sale.
The resort was just what we wanted, a quiet plqce to relax. We we're disappointed with the island as a whole as we like to venture out in our rental car but the lack of road signs and places of interest signs were practically non-existant. I assume they'd rather you use taxis or local tour companies.

Great luxury hotel on beach
Posted Oct 20, 2014Pros: Location, food, friendly staff. Large rooms on beach. All inclusive means just that with all drinks included. Adults only hotel.
Cons: In dining room service and fully stocked mini bar.
Location: All water activities included. Trips around the island can be booked from the hotel.
We were returning guests and were treated like family. Stayed in premium beach room which have views of the bay and are just a few steps from the sea. Amazing how hotel responded to the latest hurricane. Whilst other hotels were closing their doors to cope with the aftermath, hotel staff at Galley Bay took just 72 hours to get all facilities back up and running and debris cleared. They made sure we had food and water immediately after and even had a five course meal on the table the same night. All down to being well prepared and having dedicated staff!

Weathering the storm
Posted Oct 15, 2014Pros: The staff is great.
Cons: Since it wasn't high season the restaurants were sometimes limited in their open times.
We got hit by an unexpected tropical storm during our stay here. The staff at a galley Bay did an amazing job at taking care of us during this time. They ensured we had food, and even brought it to us in the rooms so we wouldn't have to go out into the storm. The clean up was very quick as well. I found this remarkable given that the staffs family homes would have been impacted by this storm as well. Really impressive.

Rooms are steps away from the beach
Posted Oct 11, 2014Pros: Room location, food was good at all restaurants.
Cons: Pool Service, some of the staff may need a long overdue vacation.
Our experience at Galley Bay was just OK. The room was steps away from the beach and was a beautiful setting. The pool area was a little disappointing with no pool service to speak of. The bar staff did come around and collect the empty plastic cups but we never saw them ask any guest if they needed anything. Most of the bar staff seemed a little unfriendly and would only respond if spoken to first. We usually do not stay at all-inclusive resorts and may not again.

Idyllic setting for a first visit to the Caribbean
Posted Oct 3, 2014Pros: The location, the room and the staff. You could do as much or as little as you wanted. There are day trips and boat trips available.
Cons: As with any holiday there were a couple of minor niggles but nothing that requires a comment that could be blown out of proportion.
Location: The location is about half an hour from the international airport by taxi ($20-$25) Day trips and boat trips can all be booked at the hotel.
Having never been to the Caribbean before or in fact an all inclusive resort we were a bit concerned about being 'trapped' in one location. On the other hand we wanted a week to do nothing in nice surroundings. The accommodation was amazing, being right on the white sandy beach and within 20 feet of the sea. The room (we stayed in a premium deluxe suite) was spacious and spotlessly clean. The manger Cedric was always around and very friendly. The staff were all very friendly and basically what could make or break such a resort. They are an asset to the hotel. You could do as much or as little as you wanted. We choose the latter and spend most of the time just relaxing around the pool or on the beach. We did use the tennis court a couple of times when the weather clouded over and had a massage in the spa which was very good. There are day trips and boat trips available. We only visited the capital St John's for a morning. There isn't much to see or do in the capital and it does get very hot being inland. 1.5 to 2 hours would be plenty of time. Overall a fabulous experience and would definitely return.

Good but could be better. More 4 star than 5.
Posted Oct 1, 2014 on Hotels.comSpent 4 days here in September. Beautiful clean private beach.water warm but visibility poor so snorkelling limited. Also plenty of rocks so car needed to avoid injury.Small pool but plenty of seating.Meals were a la carte mostly and service was very slow.Portions small but beautifully presented. Staff at times appeared to have an attitude when asked for something.Beautiful grounds with a pond to walk around. Spraying to get rid of pests.Wonderful comfortable king size bed.Limited choice of places to eat which took it in turn to close.Dining areas got very warm.Very poor entertainment.a quiet resort but got a bit tedious after a few days.

Perfect holiday location
Posted Sep 22, 2014Pros: The hotel is small and quite rustic whilst maintaining the required level of luxury. The staff are great and the management caring and approachable
Cons: Nothing
For us this was a pretty much perfect holiday, with friendly, efficient, attentive staff and hotel management. The location was perfect (could not be improved) and the food excellent.

Beautiful Galley Bay
Posted Sep 16, 2014 on Hotels.comGalley Bay is paradise. Beautiful surroundings, lovely private beach, total service. If you want a beach vacation and want it private this is the place. If you want activities, most of the boats come to you and pick you up. we had a suite right on the beach. We left the doors open at night so we could hear the ocean, great. I give the resort. 5 stars. This is an all inclusive resort so the food has to be rated also. We do live in the San Francisco Bay area so admittedly our standards are high. we give the food 3.5-4 stars. Mostly the food was good and at the high end it wasn't great. If you live in a food haven like we do, you might be disappointed but at the same time, I didn't come to Antigua for the food.
