Biggest Loser: Netbooks
Acer saw the biggest decline in its PC business with a 32.6 percent drop in systems shipped compared to the same time last year, IDC reported. Asus saw a 21.1 percent drop in units shipped in the same time period, and Dell came in with a 4.2 percent drop, according to IDC.
Gartner's numbers jived with IDC's numbers on Acer, which saw its shipments decline 38.5 percent year-on-year, according to both research firms. Gartner blamed Acer's poor performance on its portfolio shifting away from netbooks to Android tablets. Gartner also said netbooks were at the heart of a poor quarter for Asus. "Asus also experienced a PC shipment decline in the second quarter 2013. The drop of its netbooks continued to impact its overall notebook results," the research firm wrote.

JERUSALEM, Israel -- The latest snag in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's efforts to form a coalition came Wednesday morning when Yesh Atid chairman Yair Lapid cancelled a meeting reportedly over his insistence on reducing the size of the government.
Lapid wants Netanyahu to trim the Cabinet down from the last government's 30 ministers and nine deputy ministers, the largest in Israel's history, to between 18 and 20, which he says will save millions of shekels.
Netanyahu reportedly is willing to cut back to between 24 and 28 ministers, but that's not the only issue.
Since Sunday, coalition talks with Yesh Atid (There is a Future) and Habayit Hayehudi (Jewish Home) have focused on the top three ministries: Defense, Foreign Affairs and Finance.
Former Strategic Affairs Minister Moshe Ya'alon, who served as Israel Defense Forces chief of general staff under former Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, will likely replace Ehud Barak as defense minister.
According to media reports, Lapid is interested in the Foreign Ministry, which Netanyahu said he's holding for Yisrael Beiteinu chairman Avigdor Lieberman, who served as foreign minister in the last government. But that depends on whether the court exonerates Lieberman on charges of breach of trust.
Lapid said his party's second place finish with 19 mandates carries more weight than Yisrael Beiteinu's 11 seats, making it the fifth largest party this time around.
The problem lies with the number of ministers competing for fewer portfolios. Seven Likud ministers may not receive portfolios in this government.
Meanwhile, Jewish Home chairman Naftali Bennett denied reports he's accepted an offer for finance minister, insisting he and Lapid will consult one another before either makes a final decision.
Netanyahu has until March 15 to form the next government.

In my recent research on my new superfood Gac (a.k.a. Fak Khaao), I learned that there are an estimated that 250,000 to 300,000 species of flowering plants, and regrettably, only about 10% of them have been investigated for commercial or medicinal potential. My classic historic example is the dreaded Scurvy disease that plagued sailors in centuries past. In 1535, The French Explorer Jaques Cartier's ship was stranded in the St Lawrence River in winter and his men began to die from Scurvy. A friendly Native American healed them by simply preparing a tea made from tree bark and needles from the White Pine Tree. Cartier wrote to the admiralty about the experience and was ridiculed for participating in magic and witchcraft. It wasn't until 1932, a full 400 years later, that scurvy was officially recognized as vitamin C deficiency , although after millions of lives were estimated to be lost, in spite of the cure having already been discovered and written down. In the 1700's, British sailors noticed that citrus fruits reversed Scurvy but they didn't know why, and they eventually stored, whenever possible, vitamin C rich citrus fruits such as lemons, oranges and limes on the ships. Hence came the name "Limeys" for the British. Anyhoo, enough history. It never fails to boggle my mind the energy that "Money Driven Medicine" and big business puts into synthetic medicine, the result of which is only to treat symptoms. It boggles my mind further that many of the ailments that plague us have natural cures known by a few, but are scoffed at and ridiculed by big business and the medical industry. I learned never to "rant and rave" without bringing something positive to the table. As I learned from having my Gac shipped from halfway around the world and the amazing health and nutrition potential of Gac fruit that is virtually unknown in the West, each of us can take our own initiative to at least look into a few of those 10% that have been studied and researched, and perhaps bring one or two into our daily regiment. My daily smoothies evolved to contain many of my favorite natural foods that I easily get into my diet everyday. Let's not wait for the Medical Industry and big business, who have their own financial agendas, to work in our best interest. We must seek out and find our own health and well being. ~stay healthy~ You Might Also Like <<<<<The Heavyweight Bout: Mother Nature vs. the Drug Industry The World is My Pantry>>>>> |

Time to get rid of the republican rulers. Vote anything other than McSame.
Sep 12, 2008
I agree! Time to oust those in control. And the Congress is controlled by the Democrats - with a 9% approval rating. That's right, the lawmakers that actually run things are already all dems and they are at a single digit approval rating. But then, you don't want to hear that because you can't make a cute word play on Obama's name. God forbid you harangue the Kennedy dynasty. Or Jenny, here in Mi - she's done a GREAT job with our state. Perhaps we could look to Detroit dem mayors for help, or to Grand Rapids dem mayor. Nah - the whole state and both cities are cesspools of lazy leeching slobs from the unions that ran all the business out of the state.

This has been coming for a long time. Clinton started it and Bush did not intervene.
Sep 12, 2008
Have you lost touch with reality? I think gas was $1.29 when bush took over and let his big oil buddies make the big bucks before we start phasing out the oil industry.
"Lost my mind" Since: Apr 07 11,391 be back later |
Sep 12, 2008
Gas hasn't been a 1.29 since the mid 90's. I was still in college then. It started flirting with at least 1.75 and shot over 2.00 after Sept 11. |

Sep 12, 2008
And funny.. it was said on the news that the SPECULATORS are the ones affecting the gas prices. Imagine that!
Not saying the oil companies are blameless, believe me, they are FAR from it. But let's put the blame where it belongs people. Speculators and Big Oil BOTH. How about the high gas taxes? Anyone remember when Clinton refused to release any of our reserves as 'it wouldn't effect the prices much'. How about when they started to get high and Engler refused to suspend the gas tax in MI for relief when other states were? It's not one side or the other. They ALL have their hands in it. |

Come on everyone, the Bush's got rich off of oil. Where there's smoke there is fire.
Sep 12, 2008
We have a local gas company, Mugg N' Bopps charging $4.69, 4.79, 4.89 for gas. ALREADY!! The hurricane hadn't even reached land yet when they gouged their prices. This is insane and unacceptable.
Sep 12, 2008
i lived in flordia for 17yrs 1985-2003 went thru 5 hurricanes and gas prices never soared then now why evry time one comes they go up every since katrina changed it all why there were bigger ones before that one
Sep 13, 2008
I cannot beleive our govt! We do not even use the oil that our country has plenty of so there is no damn reason for another increase in the gas prices that we pay. My husband and I were both injured at our jobs, me in 1999 and my husband in 2004. We still have one child at home and one in college, besides our son, who has just moved down to south Florida. And....of course he still needs our help at times as does my stepdaughter and my three beautiful grandchildren that we help out when they need it. Low income families have it the worse. RIGHT NOW!!!I think that it is a crock that the government does not do anything to help the low to middle class families. It would be nice for once to know that they are thinking of the people that they represent instead of themselves. Is there anyone that really gives a crap about our suffering economy? How can families afford all the increases in our economy when our income does not do anything but everything else is increasing? Before long there will be so many people living in shelters, their vehicles, or even worse living outside with nothing over their head but the sky! That is so sad and there are enough families struggling I just wish that the rich gave a damn about the ones that live in their country. I think that it is great to help other coutries, but when your own is in turmoil I think that they should help the families that need it here in the USA before helping outside of the country. I do not know any other country that is like the USA and for once we need to put our people first that really need the help instead of making them feel like they are the scum on the bottom of the pond. It is such a tragedy that none of the government and/or politicians even give a crap about us little people, because we are poor and looked down upon. I know that the price increase on everything has affected everyone, but the rich still seem to get richer and the low to middle class get taxed even more. My daughter wants to go to college when she graduates in five years to become an OB/GYN and wants to go to Harvard or Hillsdale College, BUT, unless she receives alot of scholarships she will not be able to go unless the economy changes dramatically as being on Social Security Disability at a young age never gave us time to plan for our future. We are both in our early 40's and are broke the third week of every month. It has been really bad for the past three years I wish it would start getting better. I wish that the economy was as strong now as it was when Bill Clinton was President. I will always remember all that He and Hilary did for our country. I just wish that she would have made the Presidential Campaign instead of Obama, because Mccain is a definite NO in my family, but Obama is not a YES, either.
Iwish that would be a last minute write-in for an Independent. |

Just another example where the state blows sunshine up our *** when they really have no control over prices...
Sep 13, 2008
I work at a store and see people every day from rich to poor and can tell you that many of the rich folks look upon the poor as pond scum who are not willing to help themselves. Some folks are not willing to help themselves and I guess they get what they deserve. I saw a regular customer the other day who works in a machine shop. He wears a leg brace so he moves a little slow. As he was walking towards our door a woman in a big, new, shiney SUV pulls up behind him and honks the horn for him to get out of her way. Just shameful behavior. |

Yo Jim- Gas was $1.50/gallon in January 2001.It was $2/gallon just prior to the mid-term elections two years ago when Republicans lost control of Congress. It reached well over $4/gallon this summer. Soooooo, it went up .50 the first 6 years Bush was in office and it has doubled to $4 in the last 2 years. I think we need to get the Democrats out of Congress and make sure we don't end up with one in the White House too. |
Sep 13, 2008
The whole thing is hype. Gas prices only increased by 11 cents/gallon where I'm at. Everytime I have read a story on gas prices someone has always said "I heard". Not a soul has been able to confirm any major increase. The media would be all over a story if there were $5.00/gallon gas. That level of price gouging is just to obvious.

If one hurricane in Texas area has this impact on prices, why not start drilling in Alaska? Then we'll always have a steady supply despite the weather conditions.

YEAH RIGHT...We believe that? Hello? |

I don't understand why the price of gas goes up at the threat of bad weather. Just because they shut down refineries for a few days is no reason to raise the price. Where are the stockpiles? Aren't they there for "emergencies"?
Oh to be able to be in control of it all for 5 minutes!!!! We've had hurricanes for years and I never heard of all this price raise crap before. They do it because they CAN. What can the American folks do about it anyway? With work and families and all there is to do..who has time? Who can afford the gas to drive to Washington to carry a picket sign? We just let them keep on keeping on because our hands are tied. I don't trust ANY polititon anymore no matter what they say. They get sucked into the system in Washington and things just get worse. None of them care about "change" for the better, it always has to fit the big wigs and never does anything for us. |

Would that really make a difference? I doubt it. Then the excuses would just be "It's too cold to pump oil" or "Oil doesn't flow down a pipeline as fast in cold weather". It would be something. I personally think that all this fiddling with gas prices is just an economic gain to both speculators and big oil. They are going to push the price of a gallon just as far as they think they can without breaking the market for gas. There is no rhyme or reason for why gas goes up or down (what little it does). It certainly can't be linked to the cost of a barrel of crude. |

It's official the second runway is now in place! The runways are 45 degree offset from each other with the flight lines back to back. The two don't physically cross each other so we are able to fly from both runways at the same time. We wont have grass in place but we do have the sprinklers in and will run them enough to keep the dust down.

Wings for Wishes Day 1 -- Wind Blew!!
The wind blew like a big dog today -- not the way we wanted the event to start. Despite that, Clark flew his superfly a couple times, and I crashed my "W" when I was blown downwind and behind the trees so I could not see the plane. Hans had a motor separate from his lightning fast little plane and gave us a dramatic crash and then we went looking for the pieces. Looking forward to more arrivals tomorrow -- and lower wind.
As things tend to go -- the wind was dead calm after dark. Hans flew his night flyer ... an that went well. ImagesView all Images in thread |

Day 2 of Wings for Wishes
Another Photo essay from today. Photos all by Camille Page. Not as much wind as yesterday - more people out flying -- and we were entertained by David Mahan and his partner to some awesome 3D flying. Several crashes among the pilots -- do to dumb thumbs as well as wind. Hance Reigned supreme for the speed demon today with what I think was a Right Wing (sp?) and an Adrenaline Rush - that sent Clark running to the bathroom after he flew it once. Lots of visitors -- not as many as we'd hoped for. Tomorrows weather promises to be AWESOME -- and should be a great day flying.

Oklahoma Governor signs 'Fetal Heartbeat' bill
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin has signed the so-called "Fetal Heartbeat" bill into law.
The legislation requires abortion providers to inform women that they have the right to hear the heartbeat their fetus before having an abortion.
Supporters say the measure gives women additional information before deciding to abort.
Opponents say it duplicates state law that requires women to listen to the fetus' heartbeat as part of informed consent laws on abortion.
Fallin signed the bill Friday. It takes effect Nov. 1.

(GSM) - African Cup of Nations hosts Angola were shocked by a superb Mali comeback on the opening match of the tournament after blowing a four-goal lead and were held to a 4-4 draw. Mali's goals all came in the final 11 minutes in the match held in Luanda.
Striker Flavio headed two goals in quick succession late in the first half, Gilberto added the third with a twice-taken penalty midway through the second and Manucho converted a second penalty to put Angola 4-0 ahead.
Mali, hugely disappointing until then, hit back in the 79th minute through Barcelona's Seydou Keita. Angola goalkeeper Fernandes dropped an innocuous cross and Keita stabbed it home at the third attempt. The goal was to be considered as a late consolation.
However, Sevilla star Frederic Kanoute headed another two minutes from time. Tamboura floated in a cross and Kanoute produced a magnificent header to beat Fernandes. There was very little pace on the cross but Kanoute showed his class to head it home for Mali's second.
Keita scored again with a volley hitting the back post and going into the net. Substitute Mustapha Yatabare scored a minute later with Fernandes at fault again, not getting enough on the cross, and could only parry it to Yattabare who fires the rebound home.
The Group A match was a fantastic start to the football tournament that had been overshadowed by the recent attack on the Mali team's bus. The four Mali goals scored in a space of 11 minutes came to shock the frustrated home fans in what was a memorable comeback for Mali.

Bush, in 2005 Firewater ringleader Tod A left New York — where he'd lived for the previous two decades and where he'd fronted Cop Shoot Cop — and headed out of the country on a three-year journey that took him to the Middle East, the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia. Along the way, he wrote songs for Firewater's sixth album, 2008's The Golden Hour, and two years ago, he moved to Istanbul. He recorded Firewater's new album, International Orange, there during the Arab Spring, while bombs were going off around the city, as well in Tel Aviv, where the record was mixed. Tod A says that some of that energy of change seeped into the record; he also harnesses a bit of fiery punk vigor and injects the songs with worldly flavors, from bhangra to Turkish rhythms to ska, dub and mambo.

Brucellosis Disease in Dogs
In this article
This disease is caused by the bacteria Brucella canis. It is a major cause of sterility and spontaneous abortion in dogs. Puppies infected in utero are typically aborted at 45 to 59 days after conception. Suspect this disease in any bitch who aborts two weeks before she is due to deliver and whenever a bitch delivers stillborn puppies or puppies who sicken and die.
Dogs with acute infection have enlarged lymph nodes in the groin and/or beneath the jaw. Fever is rare. The testicles of the male may swell in the initial stages, and then become smaller and atrophic as the sperm-producing cells are destroyed. Note, however, that this disease can infect a dog or bitch without producing any signs of illness.
Clicker training is a method of animal training that uses a sound-a click-to tell an animal when he does something right. The clicker is a tiny plastic box held in the palm of your hand, with a metal tongue that you push quickly to make the sound. Most people who've heard of the clicker know that it's a popular tool for dog trainers, but clickers can be used to train all kinds of animals, wild and domestic-from lions to elephants to household cats, birds and rats!
Read the Clicker Training for Dogs article > >
In a dog with an acute infection, bacteria are found in the blood, urine, body secretions, and the products of abortion. In a dog with a chronic or inactive infection, bacteria can be transmitted in vaginal secretions during estrus and in semen.
The most common mode of transmission is by contact with infected vaginal discharges following a spontaneous abortion, and by contact with the urine of infected dogs. The disease can spread rapidly throughout a kennel in this manner. Males can acquire the disease through oral and nasal contact with the vaginal secretions of estrus females. Females can acquire the disease through breeding with an infected male. This is of particular concern to breeders, because males can harbor the bacteria for life.
Treatment: Brucellosis is difficult to eradicate. A course of intramuscular and oral antibiotics given for a minimum of three weeks will eliminate the disease in 80 percent of dogs. To be considered cured, a dog must be free of the bacteria for at least three months. Since it is difficult to achieve a cure, it is recommended to spay or neuter all infected animals to prevent the transmission of disease to other dogs.

Please join us to hear a multitude of perspectives—from business leaders, teachers, administrators and education stakeholders—on how the business community can engage in and support the implementation of CCSS.
Connected Community
Blog Entries
An innovative program out of Boston College is making a big difference for children in 11 Boston elementary schools. City Connects (CCNX) works with the schools to link each child to a "tailored set of intervention, prevention and enrichment services located in the community."
Its efforts have gone a good distance towards closing achievement gaps between the low-income children in the program and children who meet state averages. CCNX's results offer powerful support for what should be common sense: When we address the challenges poor students face both within and beyond schools, they flourish.
A rigorous study (PDF) of the program's outcomes tells a pretty stunning story:
- The beneficial impact of BCNX [the former name of CCNX] on student growth in academic achievement (across grades 1 to 5) was, on average, approximately three times the harmful impact of poverty.
- By the end of grade 5, achievement differences between BCNX and comparison students indicated that the BCNX intervention moves students at the 50th percentile up to or near the 75th percentile, and the students at the 25th percentile up to or near the 50th.
- For multiple outcomes, the treatment effects were largest for students at greatest risk for academic failure. For example, English language learners experienced the largest treatment benefits on literacy outcomes, by third grade demonstrating similar report card scores to those proficient in English in comparison schools. In fact,as a result of BCNX, there was no longer an achievement gap between these students.
- After grade 5, the lasting positive effects ofthe BCNX intervention can be seen in middle-school MCAS scores. The size ofthe positive effect of BCNX ranged from approximately 50% to 130% as large as the negative effects of poverty on these scores.1
We recently caught up with two of the program's leaders: Dr. Mary Walsh, its Executive Director, and Patrice DiNatale, its Director of Practice.
Public School Insights: What is City Connects?
Walsh: City Connects is a systemic, evidence-based approach to school-based student support. It involves assessing, in conversation with teachers and other school staff, each child in the school at the beginning of the school year and then developing a tailored student support plan based on that student's strengths and needs in four areas: academic, social emotional/behavioral, health and family.
That support plan involves accessing services, supports, resources and enrichment for the child, both school-based resources as well as, and importantly, community resources. A trained professional with a Master's degree—either ...
A private school in New Jersey is running ads that subtly point to the effects of budget cuts on public schools. People in the public school system are, of course, getting a bit hot under the collar.
I can understand why. Recent budget cuts and ten years of school reform rhetoric have made it all the easier for private schools to portray themselves as the anti-public schools. "Public" is hardly a selling point for many wealthy parents.
The story from New Jersey describes only one school, but it gives us a whiff of something larger. If we're not careful, we'll portray public schools as the schools of desperate measures. I've seen it happen in the communities where I've lived.
Even before the budget cuts, public schools suffered from the perception that they were test prep factories. All the talk of shrinking curricula, endangered recess and constant tests of basic skills has hardly drawn in more wealthy parents.
NCLB boosters and detractors may have been complicit in harming the public school brand. The more alarm bells you sound about schools--or what's being done to them--the less appealing they can become. It can seem like a Catch 22.
The budget cuts may also drag down the brand. News of growing class sizes ...
[Editor's note: This is the second in a series of three posts on school-based health centers. Yesterday we briefly reviewed evidence supporting the use of these clinics. Today, Linda Gann talks about how her district founded two such centers. Soon Jennifer Danielson will take us through a day in the life of a nurse practitioner and tell us how her school-based health center has impacted kids.]
School-based health clinics have shown a great deal of promise in improving health outcomes for students, decreasing Medicaid costs at a time when every penny counts and even in potentially raising academic outcomes for low-income students. But yet there are only about 2,000 school-based health clinics (SBHCs) in the United States. Why don't more districts take this approach? Does it seem too expensive? Too risky? Too separate from the district's academic mission?
We recently spoke to Linda Gann, Communications and Special Project Coordinator in Colorado's Montrose County School District RE-1J, to learn more about how her district came to embrace SBHCs. She also told us about her experience planning and implementing the district's first school-based health clinic three years ago and its second a few months ago. Some keys to their success? The clinics get all their funding outside the general fund. They keep the community engaged in and informed about these efforts. And they consider not only the physical but also the mental health needs of students.
SBHCs alone will not close the achievement gap. But in Montrose, they are part of a broad strategy to address the needs of its growing Hispanic community. And that strategy appears to be working—for example, the district has a 20% higher graduation rate for Hispanic students than the state does.
Here's the story as Gann told it to us in a recent phone conversation.
About Montrose County School District RE-1J
I think from a researcher's standpoint our district is almost a perfect universe, as far as data analysis goes. We are located in west central Colorado. We are five hours away from Denver. We are about 1,100 square miles, with two distinct communities. Montrose is about 30,000 people. Olathe is probably about 8,000 people. So we are not very large. And we are separated from our neighboring districts by open space, so it is really easy to tell where our school district stops and another one starts.
In our district, we have 6,500 students. District-wide, 54% receive a free or reduced price lunch. But on the south end of our district, which is close to the ski resort of Telluride, the houses are larger, and there are more families considered upper middle class. The free and reduced price lunch population at the elementary school in that area is about 11%. On the north end of our district, the free and reduced price lunch population is 80%. ...
It has long been suggested that health disparities between low-income kids and their peers contribute to the academic achievement gap. If you are looking for evidence to support that theory, a recent research review by Charles E. Basch—Healthier Students are Better Learners: A Missing Link in School Reforms to Close the Achievement Gap—offers it.
Long story short (and it is a long report), Basch describes the evidence showing how groups of children differ in the incidence of (and access to care for) each of seven "educationally relevant health disparities": vision, asthma, teen pregnancy, aggression and violence, physical activity, breakfast, and inattention and hyperactivity. He also reviews evidence on the "causal pathways affecting educational outcomes" (I think that means he shows that not only are there disparities, but that these disparities actually do affect achievement).
One brief, and extremely simplified, example: Children with asthma sleep less. Children who sleep less tend to have worse academic performance than those who sleep more, because sleep influences cognitive function. Low-income children, for a variety of reasons, have asthma at higher rates than middle- and upper-income children. So even assuming ...
The dream of college for all is one of the first casualties when jobs dry up and the future looks bleak. More and more people are questioning the wisdom of paying big tuition for what could be a small return. Technical school may be a better bet, they say, especially for poor youth who can't afford to get into debt.
They may have a point. But I think it's a very bad idea to retreat from our commitment to get many, many more poor students through college. At the same time, it's unwise to assume that education alone will solve our economic woes.
The "college for all" argument is important, because it offers a vision for overcoming stubborn class inequities. Let's face it, the vast majority of wealthy parents expect their kids to go to college. Even some of those pundits who pooh pooh college in the pages of the Times or The Wall Street Journal would likely pitch a fit if their own children decided to go the voc-ed route. Poor children face a very different reality.
It may be true that college isn't for everyone. But until student inclination--and not income--becomes the major sorting mechanism for college, I'm not ready to abandon the focus on college. After all, those who never went to college are ...
We in education could learn a lot from the US military. That's the major message of the new State Education Standard. This remarkable issue of NASBE's quarterly magazine is well worth a read.
People in schools don't naturally look to the military for advice. When they hear "military," many think "rigid," "stern" or "traditional." A story in Wednesday's New York Times shows just how damaging such perceptions can be. It charts the decline of private military academies that long ago billed themselves as reform schools--hardly the best way to market private schools these days. The schools may have changed, but the reputation lingers.
The State Education Standard offers a very different view of what the military brings to the table. Many decidedly un-military educators will no doubt like what they see there. In some respects, there's nothing at all military about the military. Here's a brief sampling of ideas I took away from the magazine:
Nurture your talent. This passage from a story on leadership stopped me in my tracks: "Typically, officers spend between one-quarter and one-third of their time in schools, either as students or as instructors!"

It's ironic that the ...
I continue to be amazed by the fact that it has become taboo in some school reform circles to talk about strategies for clearing away non-academic barriers to student learning. Calls to address problems like hunger or poor health are often seen as excuses for poor schooling rather than as concrete strategies to improve the lot of children. This tendency strikes me as very counterproductive.
It's not the job of schools to ensure medical care and proper nutrition, we're told. It's not the job of schools to do what parents should be doing. Those are lovely sentiments. Many teachers and other school staff would probably agree that the job they thought they signed up for didn't involve finding health care for children, getting them warm clothing in the winter, or offering them breakfast when they're hungry.
But such expectations don't mean a whole lot when a child in your classroom can't concentrate because she has a tooth ache, can't see the board because she needs eye glasses, or is hungry because she went without breakfast. High-sounding talk about what a school's "mission" should or shouldn't be must ...
I'm hearing concerns that too much power over schools is passing into the hands of people who have not been elected by the public to serve the public interest. What a thorny issue.
An article in yesterday's Washington Post offers a case in point. A group of foundations warned that they might not keep the money flowing into Washington DC's school reform efforts if the district's leadership changes. In other words, the funds may dry up if a new mayor takes the reins. Not surprisingly, this warning has caused an outcry over the influence of foundations on the mayoral race.
A new commentary in Edweek raises similar concerns about the concentration of power. Russ Whitehurst, the founding director of IES, writes that Race to the Top (RTTT) was an end-run around Congress. "Based on the ARRA itself, he writes, "I don't think Congress intended to give Secretary Duncan the carte blanche he took."
The legislative process is messy, but we are better served in the long term by allowing our elected representatives to decide on the education policies we are to pursue as a nation, rather than having them dictated to us by the executive branch under the guise of a grant program to reward reform and innovation.
Duncan and the foundations may well counter that they can't very well dole out money without strings attached. But growing suspicion of government ...
At a time when most American industries have been struggling to find their footing, at least one has been experiencing a real boom: The public school horror film industry. The filmmakers and financiers behind these movies may see themselves as defenders of children. But some of them are just leading the charge out of public education and into--what?
They're aiming for outrage. But they're just as likely to create disaffection and disengagement. That's bad news for school reform.
Here's a little sampling from the new Tinseltown genre. Two Million Minutes portrayed our high schools as relaxing spas for idle youth. Then there's Race to Nowhere, which depicts our schools as cruel pressure cookers that drive children to suicide. And we mustn't forget The War on Kids (!), which argues that U.S. schools are really just prisons designed to crush our children's spirits.
It hardly matters that these horror stories contradict one another. The overriding message is clear and consistent: Get your kids out now!
The films generally offer simple solutions to the problems they present, and that lets viewers off the hook. Most examples of the genre point to charters and vouchers. Take, for example, The Cartel, which has just hit theaters. According to The Boston Globe, "'The Cartel' leads its audience to what Bowdon [the filmmaker] sees as a promised land of better American education, populated by vouchers and ...
Mike Town is a man with a mission. This Washington state environmental science teacher has spent the past 25 years educating students on environmental issues. His students do real-world projects designed to show the relevance of science, get them thinking about the environmental impact of their actions, and introduce them to the emerging green job sector.
One such project is the Cool School Challenge, a model he helped develop that engages students and teachers in reducing their school's greenhouse gas emissions. Now available for free on the web, this approach has saved over 1.6 million pounds of CO2 nationwide (and saved Redmond High School more than $100,000 over the past three years). And he and his students are scaling up the concept in their community, joining forces with the local government for the "Eco-Office Challenge." ...
On this website, educators, parents and policymakers from coast to coast are sharing what's already working in public schools--and sparking a national conversation about how to make it work for children in every school. Join the conversation!

Hot answers tagged map
I work in the address verification field for SmartyStreets. Actually we added geocoding and residential/business indication (RDI) features to our address API not too long ago and so I think I can point you in the right direction as you do your own research to find what fits your needs the best.
You'd be interested to know that Google and Bing may know more ...
Actually, it looks like the tool I was looking for is not a map API, but the Google Visualization tool: http://code.google.com/apis/visualization/documentation/gallery/geomap.html
For the labels of the roads you don't have to set the color of the label, but only style the 'hue', 'saturation' and 'lightness'. For example:
var styles = [
"featureType": "road",
"elementType": "labels.icon",
"stylers": [
{ "Hue": "#0a9ad7" },
{ "saturation": 100 },
{ "lightness" : -20 }
Looks like OpenLayers does what I want. I'll update this answer if I run into problems with it.
I think your question at the end may be the problem. Google say
There shouldn't be more than one

you're a doctor who is a cardiologist
and a chiropractor or a service that
covers multiple towns, you shouldn't
have two listings. Instead, use the

You will only see Googles maps. The SERPS get address and map data from Google Places, which has been merged into Google+ pages for business. Using a Google verified place on a verified domain in GWT, with a rel publisher keystone: you will see map, but only from Google.
So even if you define a new or non-google map using schema, it will still use the ...
Getting Google to display business map information is rather simple but can take some time to appear. Also, its worth mentioning that its not a guaranteed process as some search results have these options displayed especially with competing business names and businesses that use high volume everyday keywords. In order for Google to return the map information ...
If you can't handle the Google Maps API, then I doubt you're going to be able to handle any other mapping/geo-location API. The Google Maps API is very, very easy to use and there's plenty of "wrappers" out there to make it even easier (such as this one I just found on google here)
You need to individually style the labels.text.fill and the labels.text.stroke.
var styles = [ { stylers: [{ hue: "#E29FC7" }] },
{ featureType: "all", stylers: [{ visibility: "off" }] },
{ featureType: "road", elementType: "all", stylers: [{ visibility: "simplified" }] },
{ featureType: "road.arterial", stylers: [{ color: "#702076" }, { ...
You are missing a hash (#) symbol at the start of the usemap attribute:
(No need to enclose the map element in a p. The map element itself is non-visual.)
You could use IP to Location services such as MaxMind which is very fast since the database is stored on your local file system. Determine the Postal code of the visitor, then use Google Maps API to display a map set to a zoom level 1 or 2 higher than city level assuming the postal code may not be 100% accurate. This lets the visitor see a map of their ...
You need to be in Google Places. I'm not sure how they handle three businesses. I would guess that they choose the one most relevant to a search query.
check out http://mapbox.com/, http://www.webglearth.com/, http://www.chromeexperiments.com/globe
One of the ways you can prevent your site & the static map from appearing too out of proportion is to use the viewport meta tag:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=780px"/>
This would tell a mobile browser to try to display the page with a viewport of 780px, or scale it if the device resolution is smaller than that.
There are several other ...
That is a really specific question - your best bet would be to inquire directly with people who specialize in spatial data mining and possibly with companies which provide local business/restaurant data to see what's out there.
(Note that sites like Yelp and Google Places have API's which might come in handy if you plan to conduct any original research)

Life satisfaction and sex-role concept

The purpose of the present survey study was to investigate the relationship between life satisfaction and sex-role concept. Two hundred and seventeen respondents completed a two-part questionnaire, which consisted of the Life Satisfaction Survey, designed by the authors, and the Bem Sex Role Inventory. General satisfaction with life was found to be a function of the level of satisfaction derived from various aspects of life, particularly aspects chosen as the most important. Consistent with previous studies, general satisfaction with life is positively associated with education level, income level, and being married. In contrast to previous findings, age is not negatively correlated with overall satisfaction, and a significant difference between males and females showed up. As predicted, sex-role concept was found to be a useful construct in explaining the differential importance of various domains of life as well as the relative contribution of those domains to the individual's overall satisfaction with life. Psychologically masculine people choose as important and enjoy more the instrumental aspects of life; psychologically feminine people choose as important and enjoy more the socioemotional aspects of life; psychologically androgynous people choose as important and enjoy more both the instrumental and socioemotional aspects of life.

When you look at the numbers on a movie-by-movie basis, you notice something wonderful. A flood of mid-budget, adult-skewed movies have opened at or above expectations. That's the Hollywood we claim we want, so why are we complaining?

Lenovo's P770 smartphone might not be the fastest, most powerful device around, but it does have some good things going for it.

I used Vogue 8480 to make this jacket. The description is "unlined jacket has front and back princess seams, pockets in side front seams extending into pleats, back lower section with pleat, cropped flared sleeve, self faced front, back yoke and topstitching detail." I love all of the details in the jacket! I especially like the shape including the notched collar and cropped sleeves. The topstitching adds a RTW look to the jacket. My only gripe is that the jacket is unlined. I don't think it would be difficult to add a lining though. I'm pleased with the end look. I think the jacket has a unique shape and interesting design lines. I do need to pair it with other things that pop, to make the whole look more interesting! Check out the blog

Oystering communities around the world take pride in the quality and freshness of their succulent bivalves, and Apalachicola is no exception. With its brackish waters and calm winds, Apalachicola Bay is a prime setting for both oysters and the industry built around them to thrive.
The people of Apalachicola possess skills, beliefs, and a spirit of generosity and perseverance that make the community unique. Crafts such as boat building or oyster tong making are passed down through generations, as are techniques for harvesting and shucking the oysters. Successful seafood distributors make the product available to the many restaurants and retailers in the region, and the community celebrates its heritage during the annual Florida Seafood Festival.
From 1986-1987, the Florida Folklife Program, in collaboration with the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress, conducted the Maritime Heritage Survey. The fieldworkers documented fishing communities around the state, including a wealth of interviews and photographs from Apalachicola. The following sound clips came from that survey.
