Anyone ever tried Skinny Fiber? I've been on it about a month and am seeing great results! I started losing with Atkins but have really seen the inches fly off with SF!
Does it Work? - Skinny FiberView Full Version : Skinny Fiber swinegeart 05-07-2013, 01:19 AM Anyone ever tried Skinny Fiber? I've been on it about a month and am seeing great results! I started losing with Atkins but have really seen the inches fly off with SF! nelie 05-07-2013, 07:46 AM It appears the primary ingredient is glucomannan which has been cited as a good filling fiber substitute. The only issue I see is that most appetite suppressants these days include it but also charge a huge markup. You can buy the ingredient fairly cheaply at any place that sells vitamins. swinegeart 05-07-2013, 10:42 AM This is what I have found when researching a little, Glucomannan 9/day $34.99 month supply Caralluma 2/day $19.95 month supply Cha de bugre 3/day $49.99 month supply Enzyme complex 6/day $29.99 month supply 20 pills/day $134.92 monthly Skinny Fiber has all of these ingredients and it's $59.95 for a one month supply and you only take 4 a day. 2 about a 1/2 hour to an hour before your 2 biggest meals. **please note all prices are in USD** I've really lost inches and I definitely feel more energized! nelie 05-07-2013, 11:06 AM Actually glucomanan is between $10 to $15 for a month supply and multiple pills for ease of swallowing. Although you could scale it up or down. Personally, since it is the only proven active ingredient, it is the only one I'd worry about. Suzanne 3FC 05-07-2013, 12:33 PM Good point, Nelie! I was curious about the product so I decided to check out the ingredients. I see a few problems with this product. It's basically fiber and laxatives. Some of the ingredients could make you ill. First, it's sold via a very generous affiliate program. Out of the $59.95 you pay for the product, the person promoting it gets $40. This would encourage a lot of false testimonials. The best thing would be to research the ingredients and published studies. Other than the glucomannan (available elsewhere for pennies), the ingredients are misleading. Two pills (one serving) contain: 1.16 grams of a proprietary blend of: glucomannan caralluma (whole plant) powder Cha de Bugre leaf powder 260mg Enzyme blend. Lets look at caralluma (whole plant) powder. The study on this ingredient, published in PubMed, was not done on the whole plant powder, but was done on caralluma extract and in higher dosages than what you get from this product. Also, the results were very minimal at best. ..."these were not significantly different between experimental and placebo groups." In other words, you won't benefit from it. Cha de Bugre is a diuretic so it will cause you to initially drop water weight. Not fat. It also contains caffeine, so that might explain the energy since it has stimulant properties. From what I can tell, there have not been any safety studies on this ingredient. Consume with caution. Enzymes: Used here as laxatives, so that would also explain any quick weight loss. Note that weight is not the same as fat in this instance :p Lipase powder: an animal based enzyme that is used in the production of cheese. It is also used in laundry detergent for stain removal. The human body does use lipase (tho not for weight control), but it is manufactured naturally by the liver in the amount our bodies need. Amylase powder is used in brewing beer. Papain and bromelain powders are used as meat tenderizers. Some people feel they help with digestive problems, although this has no impact on weight. Side effects from bromelain can include diarrhea, vomiting, heart palpitations, and a long list of other problems. Lets get back to the glucomannon powder :) It has the ability to make you feel fuller if taken before a meal, which has the possibility of helping you eat less. In my opinion, a better option than eating until you feel stuffed would be behavior modification and choosing the right foods. It's much healthier and sustainable than trying to trick the body into feeling fuller. Still, if you feel you need something like this then just buy glucomannan powder. As nelie pointed out, it's super cheap! You can buy it at any drugstore, Walmart, or online and a month's supply will cost about $10 - probably a lot less. Oreokitty123 06-12-2013, 12:37 PM Good to know! :carrot: stratcat45 08-12-2013, 02:28 PM Yeah, this product is being pushed really hard over on FaceBook on many of the diet groups. They use Dr. Oz as a resource, but really the only ingredient he approve was the Glucomannan. They also are stating that it cures EVERYTHING!! You'll come off all meds and never have those symptoms again. They seem to want to push it by saying it's ALL NATURAL. What they overlook is that many all natural products can and have not interacted well with other meds. They also tote that you don't want the FDA involved in it....though I agree that the FDA approves lots of things that they shouldn't, at least if something is FDA approved it will have any warnings you should be aware of on it. No FDA warning? Well, should you take that chance??? fatgyrl 08-13-2013, 11:01 PM Thank you for the "skinny" on this product. All my other scam searches lead me to more adverts. BethinFW 08-29-2013, 03:59 AM I have been using skinny fiber for 7 weeks ago. The first 4 weeks I didn't change anything. I still lose a few pounds but I lost 3 inches on my waist. 3 weeks ago I went back to low carb. I dropped another 14 lbs in the first two weeks. 15 inches overall. I really like it. AndyR611 10-21-2013, 05:03 PM I took skinny fiber for 6 weeks. No weight loss no inches loss despite following a healthy eating plan and drinking lots of water about 4 liters a day. I didnt feel any of the things that everyone else said that they feel like extra energy etc. happybug 10-21-2013, 09:55 PM Cha de Bugre is a diuretic so it will cause you to initially drop water weight. Not fat. It also contains caffeine, so that might explain the energy since it has stimulant properties. From what I can tell, there have not been any safety studies on this ingredient. Consume with caution. This ingredient was one of the reasons why I hesitated to try this product. I can't have anything with guarana in it because it gives me migraines. While Cha de Bugre is not guarana, I still hesitated because I didn't know if it might have the same side effects. It's always a good idea to research a product before trying it. I was surprised that a woman I know who endorses this product swears she would never take anything containing stimulants, yet she had obviously overlooked or not researched the fact that Skinny Fibre contains caffeine, a known stimulant. classykaren 10-22-2013, 08:45 AM Has anyone tryd plexus (who is not selling it ?) I just bought haven't received a 7 day sample pack . I should have went on here first. Thanks vBulletin® v3.6.7, Copyright ©2000-2015, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.

The big data era presents new opportunities and advantages for agencies that are able to exploit its capabilities. However, the velocity at which data must be processed poses major challenges as it relates to the IT infrastructure. This whitepaper examines what all-flash storage systems can do to help agencies leverage big data technologies and optimize the benefits they can attain.
Get the most information from your data. Business has never been faster and is increasingly dependent on the timely analysis of large volumes of data for strategic and operational decisions. As executives come to rely on advanced analytics, the importance of a robust IT infrastructure cannot be overstated.Data comes from everywhere; make sure you get it in time, every time.
The increasing complexity of the government enterprise—and the increasing volume and complexity of the data being managed—is forcing agency IT managers to rethink how they manage the infrastructure. Virtualization is at the center of that. By virtualizing key elements of the data center, agencies gain flexibility, scalability and manageability. And those gains are magnified when agencies integrate those systems into a cohesive whole. At the same time, IT managers are looking to bolster their infrastructures with emerging storage and storage management options. The data center of the future is taking shape now.

ECLAC Predic ts Regional Growth of 5.2 Percent in 2010
Xinhua: "ECLAC Predicts Regional Growth of 5.2 Percent in 2010" - Xinhua
Wednesday July 21, 2010 22:00:53 GMT
SANTIAGO, July 21 (Xinhua) -- The Economic Commission of Latin America and
the Caribbean (ECLAC) Wednesday predicted an economic growth of 5.2
percent in the region in 2010, making evident a rapid recuperation after
2009's drop.
The Commission under the United Nations issued here its Economic Study of
Latin America and the Caribbean 2009-2010, in which ECLAC predicts the
region will grow 5.2 percent, led by South American countries with a
growth of 6.0 percent.The Executive Secretary of ECLAC, Alicia Barcena,
said during the presentation of the Study that the anti-crisis policies
adopted by the Latin American countries in monetary, financial, fiscal,
commercial and social fields had helped the region to recover from t he
drop of 1.9 percent in 2009.Since this year, the region's main sectors
including, international commerce, tourism, remittances, etc, will go up
as well as its access to international financial markets. Meanwhile, a
better employment situation promotes the recovery of the private sector's
expenses, consumption in particular.Brasilian economy is expected to grow
7.6 percent this year, the highest in the region, followed by Uruguay and
Paraguay (7.0 percent), Argentina (6.8 percent) and Peru (6.7 percent),
thanks to the stable and sustained development of emerging Asian countries
like China and India and the strengthened bilateral trade ties.Venezuela
will become the only country in South America to suffer a 3.0 percent
recession this year given the lowered oil price and constant electricity
crisis that negatively affects its economy.According to the Study, Central
America will grow 3.1 percent, where Panama stands out with a growth of
5.0 percent. The Caribbean countries wi ll achieve a growth of 0.9 percent
in average. Guyana will play a leading role with an increment of 4.3
percent, thanks to its agricultural development.Haiti, defined by the UN
as the least developed in the West Hemisphere, will suffer a decrease of
8.5 percent, as consequence of the January earthquake which cost the
country 100 percent to 120 percent of its Gross Domestic Product
(GDP).ECLAC's vision for 2011 is less positive due to the on-going crisis
in Europe and deceleration of China's economy. The region will maintain a
rise of 3.8 percent in 2011 and Haiti's growth will be pushed up to 7.0
percent by its after-quake reconstruction, as well as Chile, with a boost
of 6.0 percent.(Description of Source: Beijing Xinhua in English --

Joint Statement of ROK-US Foreign And Defense Ministers' Meeting - The
Korea Times Online
Wednesday July 21, 2010 22:28:04 GMT
(KOREA TIMES) - On the Occasion of the 60th Anniversary of the Outbreak of
the Korean War, Seoul, July 21, 2010
ROK Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade Yu Myung-hwan (Yu Myo'ng-hwan)
and Minister of National Defense Kim Tae-young (Kim T'ae-yo'ng), and U.S.
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and Secretary of Defense Robert
M. Gates met in Seoul on July 21, 2010, to commemorate the 60th
anniversary of the outbreak of the Korean War, which gave birth to the
ROK-U.S. Alliance.The Ministers reflected on the shared sacrifice and
dedication to defend freedom and democ racy during the Korean War, and
acknowledged that the ROK-U.S. Alliance has promoted peace and stability
not only on the Korean Peninsula, but also in Northeast Asia, and has
evolved into a strong, successful and enduring alliance.They also noted
the historic significance of the Joint Vision for the Alliance of the
Republic of Korea and the United States of America adopted by the two
leaders in June 2009 and pledged to continue to advance alliance
cooperation bilaterally, regionally, and globally.The Ministers reaffirmed
the mutual responsibilities and steadfast commitments of the two countries
founded on the ROK-U.S. Mutual Defense Treaty, which has served as the
bedrock of the allied partnership. They committed to maintain a robust
combined defense posture capable of deterring and defeating any and all
North Korean threats, including through recently announced bilateral plans
to conduct a series of joint military exercises over the coming months in
the ROK and off the east and west coasts of the Korean Peninsula. They
also pledged to develop the alliance's vision for future defense
cooperation.In support of their Presidents' recent decision, the Ministers
also decided to complete a new plan, Strategic Alliance 2015, by this
year's Security Consultative Meeting (SCM), including the transition of
wartime Operational Control (OPCON) to the ROK military in December 2015.
The transition of wartime OPCON is to proceed through close coordination
between the two countries to sustain and enhance the Alliance's combined
defense posture and capabilities.The Ministers welcomed the UN Security
Council Presidential Statement (S/PRST/2010/13) on July 9, 2010 condemning
the attack by North Korea, which led to the sinking of the Ch'o'nan
(Cheonan). They shared the view that such an irresponsible military
provocation poses a grave threat to peace and stability not only on the
Korean Peninsula but also in the region. The Ministers urged North Korea
to take resp onsibility for the attack. They also called upon North Korea
to refrain from further attacks or hostilities against the ROK and
underscored that there would be serious consequences for any such
irresponsible behavior.The Ministers urged North Korea to abandon all its
nuclear programs and its pursuit of nuclear weapons in a complete and
verifiable manner, and to demonstrate its genuine will for
denuclearization with concrete actions. They also urged North Korea to
improve human rights conditions and living standards for its people in
cooperation with the international community.Building on the June 2009
Joint Vision, the Ministers reaffirmed their commitment to broaden and
deepen the scope of Alliance cooperation. They shared the view that
growing political, economic, social, scientific, technological, and
cultural bilateral cooperation will increase the mutual understanding and
respect between our citizens on the basis of common values and trust. They
also committed to work together more closely and comprehensively at the
regional and global levels.Reaffirming the utmost importance of the KORUS
FTA, they pledged to work towards ratification as discussed by the two
Presidents in Toronto last month. They also pledged to work towards a new
ROK-U.S. Agreement for Cooperation on Civil Uses of Atomic Energy in a
mutually beneficial way in order to meet the challeng es of climate change
and energy security in the future.Furthermore, the Ministers welcomed the
close mutual cooperation on a wide range of issues within regional
frameworks including the ASEAN Regional Forum (ARF) and the Asia-Pacific
Economic Cooperation (APEC) and committed to work closely together to
further promote peace, stability and prosperity in the region. They also
discussed the Northeast Asia regional security environment and ways the
Alliance can evolve to address new challenges in this dynamic
region.Meanwhile, the Ministers exchanged ideas about ways to meet the
global challe nges of terrorism, proliferation of weapons of mass
destruction, financial crisis, transnational crimes, climate change,
epidemic disease, energy security, and promotion of green growth, and
decided to continue joint efforts in this regard. They also exchanged
views about how development assistance can increase stability and
security, and decided to increase coordination of development assistance
programs around the world to help achieve our shared goals.The Ministers
shared the view that they would draw on the lessons learned through the
rebuilding of the ROK in the decades following the devastating Korean War
to strengthen cooperative efforts for stability and reconstruction in
Afghanistan, and around the world. The U.S. side welcomed the ROK's
sending of a Provincial Reconstruction Team (PRT) to Afghanistan, and the
ROK side reaffirmed its determination to support security, governance, and
development in Afghanistan. They also welcomed ROK-U.S. coordination and
cooperatio n in other areas including the efforts to combat piracy near
the Horn of Africa and peacekeeping efforts in Haiti.The Ministers noted
the two countries share mutual views on how to face global challenges, as
evidenced by the United States previously hosting the Nuclear Security
Summit and the G20 summit, and the ROK hosting these events in the
future.The Ministers concurred that today's Foreign and Defense Ministers'
Meeting was very productive and useful, and decided to hold foreign and
defense officials' meetings at the deputy minister/assistant secretary
level. They also pledged to continue to develop the existing ministerial
consultations of Strategic Consultation for Allied Partnership (SCAP) and
Security Consultative Meeting (SCM) and to consider holding further
Foreign and Defense Ministers' meetings, as necessary.(Description of

Wednesday July 21, 2010 19:13:37 GMT
-- Radio Metropole Online on 21 July reported that some opposition leaders
do not see the "presence of foreign observers as a guarantee for the
credibility of the polls." Rasanble leader Turneb Delpe recalled that f
ormer "OAS electoral observation missions had approved several fraudulent
elections in Haiti." As for Senator Youri Latortue, he supports this
initiative on the part of the OAS and CARICOM, which he sees as the
"technical part of the electoral process" while maintaining his decision
concerning the dismissal of the members of the Provisional Electoral
Council (CEP), the website reported. (Port-au-Prince MetropoleHaiti.com in

Issues Strike Order for 22 July
-- Haitian Press Agency, AHP, Online on 20 July reported that the
Coordination of Union Solidarity of Haitian Drivers and Workers
(COSSTTRAH) issued a call for a general strike on 22 July to prompt
President Rene Garcia Preval to replace the current CEP. According to
COSSTTRAH coordinator Miguel Saint-Louis, this is a warning, which is aime
d at "getting Preval to satisfy the main claims of public transportation
drivers and Haitian workers." They want Preval to make it possible for
them to have access to credit subsequent to the 12 January earthquake that
destroyed all their assets and ruined them financially. People's
Organization leader Rene Civil said there is a chance that the Lavalas
Family party will support this move, the website reported. (Port-au-Prince
AHP Online in French -- Website of AHP, pro-Lavalas news agency; URL:
http://www.ahphaiti.org http://www.ahphaiti.org ) Name of Inite Candidate
for Presidency Still Unknown
-- Radio Kiskeya Online on 21 July reported that, from the viewpoint of
Senator Anacacis Jean Hector, Preval is reluctant to make known the name
of the person who will represent the Inite platform in the upcoming
presidential election. Hector denied that Jacques Edouard Alexis has
already been chosen to represent this political group, affirming that "the
platform has a lot of contenders," which explains Preval's reluctance
because "he does not want the platform to explode" when he makes a choice.
Hector specified that the chosen candidate will have to meet these three
criteria: He should have solid ties with the international community and
the Haitian private business sector, and he will have to be backed up by
the population, the website reported. (Port-au-Prince Radiokiskeya.com in

Haitian Civil Engineers Want Place in Reconstruction Process
-- Radio Metropole Online on 21 July reported that a training session will
be held the end of this month by a group of foreign and national engineers
specialized in para seismic construction to help Haitian engineers.
American Engineers Eduardo Fiero and Victor Suarez as well as Haitian
Engineers Patrick Leon a nd Carline Seraphin will be the main speakers at
this seminar, which is being organized by Haiti's private sector. Leon
indicated that there are "competent Haitian engineers capable of

Corrected version: correcting formatting within text; For assistance with

email@example.com. - South Korea -- OSC Report
Wednesday July 21, 2010 11:45:59 GMT
(Video still shows ROK Foreign Minister Yu Myo'ng-hwan making a speech.)
At 0720 GMT, Yu begins his remarks, commenting on the topics discussed du
ring the talks and highlighting the "successful development" of the ROK-US
alliance, which he says has helped to deter North Korea's threats. Yu also
notes that the two sides were briefed on the consultations on the timing
of the OPCON transition, its final plan expected to be worked out at the
US-ROK security consultative meeting in October 2010.
Yu states that both sides shared a common understanding that the Ch'o'nan
incident poses "serious threats" to the security of the peninsula and the
neighboring region, calling on North Korea to refrain from further
provocations or otherwise accept "grave consequences."
Yu says, "Regarding the Ch'o'nan incident, we had the same opinion that
such armed provocation by North Korea poses a grave threat to peace and
security on the Korean peninsula and in Northeast Asia and that the
adoption of the UNSC chairman's statement is of great significance in that
international society, in one vo ice, denounced North Korea's attack and
stressed the importance of preventing additional provocations. We
confirmed a close cooperation system between the ROK and the United
Yu also says that the two sides approved a plan to stage naval exercises
in waters off both west and east coasts of the Korean peninsula, stressing
that these military exercises are aimed at deterring war and expressing a
firm resolve on the US-ROK alliance. He notes that the two sides have
agreed that North Korea should carry out "complete and verifiable"
abandonment of all of its nuclear programs.
Yu notes that the US-ROK alliance has expanded in its scope and size, as
illustrated in their coordination at the G20 summit, the negotiation of
the US-ROK free trade agreement, and the provincial reconstruction work in
Afghanistan and Haiti. (Video still shows US State Secretary Clinton
delivering a speech.)
At 0726 GMT, Secretary Clinton delivers her opening re marks, stating that
the US commitment to ROK security has been demonstrated in the bilateral
consultation process in the aftermath of the Ch'o'nan incident, which has
translated into the issuance of the UNSC statement condemning the sinking
of the ROK naval vessel.
At 0728 GMT, Secretary Clinton announces a series of measures to help
prevent North Korea's proliferation, "illicit" activities, and provocative
actions, explaining country-specific sanctions aimed at North Korea's
sales and procurement of weapons and luxury goods, and hence strengthening
the enforcement of UNSC Resolutions 1718 and 1874. Clinton also lays out
measures to target North Korean entities involved in proliferation and
other "illicit" activities, subjecting them to an asset freeze through the
US Treasury designation, closely monitoring the "repeated abuse" of
diplomatic privileges in the course of engaging in activities banned by
the UNSC, and urging countries to bo ycott North Korea's
proliferation-related goods.
Clinton goes on to remark on the joint US-ROK exercises, South Korea's
contributions to international peacekeeping operations, and the bilateral
free trade agreement. At 0734 GMT, Clinton ends her remarks, and the four
ministers begin fielding questions from reporters.At 0734 GMT, a Segye
Ilbo reporter asks Yu whether there has been any in-depth discussions on a
post-Ch'o'nan exit strategy and how long pressure on North Korea will
continue in the wake of the issuance of the UNSC presidential statement,
to which Yu replies that the talk of an exit strategy is not timely, and
South Korea's sanctions should continue as of this moment.
At 0738 GMT, a foreign reporter asks Clinton whether the United States is
stepping up pressure on North Korea's "pocketbook," in a similar way that
it did to a North Korean account with Banco Delta Asia, to which Clinton
responded by saying that a new round of sanctions is ai med at the assets
of the North Korean leadership.
At 0740 GMT, a MBC reporter asks Clinton about specific actions North
Korea would need to take for the resumption of the Six-Party Talks, as
well as actions that North Korea would need to take to ease new measures
to strengthen UNSC Resolutions 1718 and 1874. Clinton answers that
"irreversible" steps toward denuclearization is key to the resumption of
the Six-Party Talks, adding that North Korea should take a series of steps
to acknowledge its responsibility for the sinking of Ch'o'nan.
At 0744 GMT, an AFP reporter asks about a new wave of attacks by North
Korea and asks how the planned military exercises would deter North Korean
threats without escalating tension on the peninsula. Secretary Gates
states that a round of provocations could come as the succession process
gets underway in Pyongyang, adding that the exercises should serve as a
"signal of unity" that reaffirms both countries' al liance against a
possible provocation from the North.
At 0747 GMT, a South Korean MBN reporter asks Kim and Gates about the
steps being taken to prepare for a North Korean contingency and the OPCON
transfer in 2015 and how South Korea should share the budgetary burden in
the US security commitment to South Korea, seen in light of the recent US
fiscal retrenchment. Kim answers the first question by stating that the
upcoming security consultative meeting will address a larger framework of
the US-ROK alliance, and that both countries continue to monitor North
Korea's situation and regime stability. Gates emphasizes that the US
Administration is not cutting its defense spending but trying to sustain
the forces structure through a reallocation of budgetary resources,
highlighting that the budgetary issue has no bearing on US military
strength on the Korean peninsula.
At 0751 GMT, KBS-1 TV ends the relay of the joint news conference as a
Wall Street Journal reporte r asks a question to Secretary Clinton and
Gates. (Video still shows US Defense Secretary Gates answering a
reporter's question.) (Video still shows ROK Defense Minister Kim

TO: Superintendents, Principals, Curriculum
Coordinators, and MEA Coordinators
DATE: January 27, 2004
RE: Maine Educational Assessment
(MEA) for March 1 – 12, 2004
This letter provides
additional details about the MEA administration scheduled for
March 1 – 12, 2004.
Attached is important new information about student participation in the
MEA or MEA/Personalized Alternate Assessment Portfolio (PAAP) as required by
the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB), entitled "Maine Educational
Assessment (MEA) Operational Procedures."
Please review and distribute this Informational Letter and the attached
Operational Procedures document to all staff involved with the administration
of the MEA or the MEA/PAAP. This
information is intended to be used in conjunction with "Policies and Procedures
for Accommodations and Alternate Assessment," found at http://www.maine.gov/education/mea/meahome.htm.
Please reserve
February 11, 2004 from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. to view the MEA Annual
Administration Workshop, which will be presented over Maine's ATM system. This workshop will provide useful information for staff who will
administer the MEA. If you wish to
receive this broadcast at an ATM site in your district, your ATM Session
Coordinator should contact Amy Kilbreth at firstname.lastname@example.com or
(207) 624-6663 to schedule this event.
Scheduling arrangements should be made by February 9, 2004. Tapes of this presentation can be made at
your ATM site or ordered through the Maine State Library by calling
As explained in Informational Letter #67 (dated May
2, 2003), the following MEA modifications are being implemented this year:
MEA Single Test
Administration Schedule – The MEA is scheduled to be administered
from March 1 – 12, 2004. This change to
a single administration is possible because the number of content areas being
assessed has been reduced.
MEA Online –
For Grade 8 only, the MEA will utilize the MLTI laptop computer capacity to
make the English language arts - writing portion of the MEA available online as
an option to schools that are certified to participate. The latest information on the MEA Online,
including school online certification requirements, is available at the
following address: http://maine.itest-k12.org. You may wish to refer to
Informational Letter #60 dated January 2, 2004, for further details. A paper
version will be available to all schools as well.
MEA Test Design – The number of questions
that comprise an individual student's score has been increased to improve test
reliability coefficients. While the earlier tests were adequate, the MEA
results are now used in the process of certifying student achievement and to
determine a school's Adequate Yearly Progress, rather than primarily as a tool
for program evaluation. The change in test design has been accomplished without
significantly increasing the time a student is engaged in the assessment
process. The test design and schedule may be viewed at the following address: http://www.maine.gov/education/mea/meahome.htm
Writing Assessment – The writing assessment now
includes two shorter writing tasks (20 minutes) in addition to the writing
prompt to better measure Learning Results
expectations for writing. Sample writing tasks, scoring rubrics, and student
response samples are available on the MEA address listed above. While the
longer writing prompt (45 minutes) will be retained, the integrated
reading/writing task will no longer be used. The evaluation of 3, rather than
2, samples of student writing should produce more consistent student and school
Writing Scoring - Measured Progress
scorers, rather than Maine teachers, will accomplish the scoring of
writing. This change is necessitated by
the new NCLB reporting timelines.
Scoring will be to the same standards, and selection of anchor sets will
have input from our experienced MEA table leaders.
Released Items – The new design requires a
reduction in the number of items that may be released each year for school use,
so that tests may continue to be equated from year to year. The plan calls for releasing 50% of the
items comprising an individual student's score. The released items will be representative of all of the content
standards assessed. Both selected response and student constructed response
items will be released and prepared for school use in an electronic format,
similar to the current release of common items. One of the two writing tasks will be released each year, along
with the longer prompt.
Enrollment information requirements
have been revised to include identification of whether a student has been
enrolled in the school/district for a Full Academic Year (enrolled on or before
October 1, 2003).
Progress has used a new electronic enrollment verification format to collect
enrollment counts for both the MEA and the MEA/PAAP programs, and all school
enrollment numbers have been received at this time.
information is required for those students participating in the MEA/PAAP. Instructions regarding this information will
be sent to schools by Measured Progress in the next week. The window for entering the PAAP student
information will be February 2-13, 2004.
Student Demographics – NCLB requires a more
precise identification of students below the poverty level. In response, the MEA will use student
participation in the National Free and Reduced Price Meals Program as the
indicator. While State assessment
programs may have access to this information, it is essential that the
information be handled in a confidential manner. Reporting of this information will be at a group level and
individual student information will not be released. The MEA does not report information at the school level when the
group size falls below five. A copy of the letter from the United States
Department of Education, approving the use of this information for this
purpose, is available on the MEA homepage at http://www.maine.gov/education/mea/meahome.htm.
The first two pages
of the MEA student response booklet, which contain the data fields for this
demographic information, are posted on this website to assist schools in
identifying the information they need to provide once testing is completed.
School and Student Reports - The modifications in the
MEA test specifications will support a more detailed student report with a
chart showing the strengths of the performance information being reported for Learning
Results content standard clusters.
School and District Summary Reports will be revised to report similar
information. Both individual student
and summary reports will include performance charts that will not use scale
scores, but will show the strength or weakness of the student performance in
relation to the "Meets the Standards" cut score.
Reports Available Earlier - Perhaps the most import change in reporting is the change in the return
date for all MEA results, including the MEA PAAP, to July 15, 2004. To meet this reporting deadline, it is
imperative that schools meet the March 17, 2004 deadline for returning
completed test materials to Measured Progress.
While the list of modifications to the MEA design,
data collection, and reporting appear lengthy, the assessments will be
statistically equated with past MEA assessments. Our goal is to support each student in having a fair opportunity
to demonstrate his or her knowledge and skills in achieving Maine's Learning
Results standards.

Sleeps | 4 |
Bedrooms | 1 |
Bathrooms | 1 |
Property type | condo |
Minimum Stay | 3 nights |
The Kona Riviera Villas is twenty minutes south of Kona Int'l Airport and is an easy 1.5 walking distance south of downtown Kona. Your condo is just a short distance from Magic Sands Beach a local body surfing favorite and Kahalu'u Beach Park known for sea turtle viewing and some of the best snorkeling on the Big Island of Hawaii.
Recently remodeled, this one bedroom-one bath condo is Absolute Ocean Front! A quiet complex... all you hear is waves that lull you to sleep! A full sized washer and dryer inside unit for your convenience too. If you like to watch the surf and hear it at its best, this is the place. Unit #102 is the most private unit at Kona Riviera.
3 Night Minimum Stay-10 during Ironman & Christmas Season.
This is a non-smoking unit with a secured entry gate as you enter this small 12 unit complex.
Keywords: Condominium
Kona Riviera Villa #102 is the most private unit in the complex. Downstairs and direct oceanfront, not just oceanview from upstairs toward the middle of the complex. You will hear the sounds of the ocean not just see them from a distance.
We had a great time in Kona Riviera Unit #102. The most important attribution of this unit is its proximity to the water. It is literally right on the surf. The lanai is where you want to be - we watched whales, dolphins, turtles, eels, surfers, sailboats, fishing and excursion boats and various birds - all from the comfort of the lanai. The location was great - handy to town - a half-hour walk to nice restaurants. Three miles in the opposite direction provided great snorkeling.
To make the unit even better, we'd suggest some shelving in the bath and bedroom. While we were there, new landscaping improvements were made and a new fence was installed. Even with these activities, we enjoyed the private, quiet setting (quiet, except for the wonderful sound of the surf).
Having spent two weeks, we would definitely recommend the unit for any visitors who enjoy the water, wildlife and views in a relatively quiet and private setting. Just remember space is limited - more than two occupants is a little tight - and we wouldn't recommend it for more than a family (or very close friends) of more than a total of four. We plan to return!
Our condo is just 1.5 miles from town & about 1.5 miles from White Sands beach.
Golf: There are 20 magnificent Golf Courses to choose from on The Big Island. Including Hualalai Golf Club, Kona Country Club (just 9 minutes away, 3.84 miles), Mauna Kea Golf Course, Waikoloa Resort Golf-Kings Course & More......

My boyfriend has a 2012 Tiger 800XC so eventually I would love to graduate to a more powerful bike (maybe next year) like the BMW F700 or G650GS because we plan on going on many adventures together and I'll need to keep up. But baby steps...I am still a little intimidated by the little 250! I am in Southern NH so the season is almost at an end
but I plan on having as much fun as I can until the snow hits.
Congrats on the new bike! Good stuff! I ride a 650GS and the only bike I sat on before that one was the 250 they use in the course when I got my license 3 years ago. It was a big difference and maybe it was too big of a bike to start with but that's what I had, I was determined and I still remember the moment when I realized I no longer noticed the weight!
I'm still learning a lot and have made a lot of progress in the past year. I even rented a dirt bike when I went to Hawaii - now I want one of those!
Have fun!
A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery while on a detour.

It seems you are also trying to get them to feel bad, apologize, admit failure or something. I always suggest leaving the latter out of a negotiation like this. It only inflames the other side and you get nothing for an apology. You may even get the apology and not the new inflatable. Is that valuable?
I don't think you could know that the poor service starts in the President's office, nor that they accept the lowest bid on parts. They just seem like your poking a stick in the eye of a company that has ticked you off. I suggest staying focused on proving your case, documenting the terms of their warranty and that your inflatable is due reimbursement under those terms.
Business' warranty programs are taken advantage of all the time as well. They should not become jaded, but many do. People destroy the product themselves and then try to make a warranty claim. Not suggesting you did so, just pointing out that understanding where your opponent may be coming from makes it more likely you will win the contest. Again, decide what you are trying to win and stay on it exclusively.
I'm doing what I told them I was going to do-alert interested boaters to the problem of quality and lack of proper customer service. I got a replacement inflatable, but it wasnt easy to get them to properly respond. If I can help a few boaters to make a better decision, great.
Am I poking a sharp stick-you bet. Bob

In between telling a company that he thinks is so well run exactly how to run things, he notes that Tim Cook and the rest of Apple have young Brett Icahn to thank for having to read the 4,000-word missive. But Brett and his partner David Schechter aren't just keeping his dad enjoyably busy in the sunset of his life: They're also making him more money than he can possibly spend, even if he lives another 78 years.

Carl Icahn Covers Faded Choate Honor Roll Bumper Sticker With New 'My Child Convinced Me To Invest In Apple' One
By Jon ShazarTen years ago, Carl Icahn hired his son Brett to be an analyst at Icahn Enterprises and the kid didn't fuck anything up so he got to keep his job. Two year ago, Carl gave Brett and another employee, David Schechter, $300 million to invest under the "Sargon portfolio," and the guys returned 96 percent (before fees) through June. Last month, Carl tossed the duo an additional $3 billion and a contract that expires in 2016, at which time Papa Icahn will either officially deem Brett a worthy successor or offer to serve as a reference when he looks for a new job.

If anyone's interested, eucalyptus cinerea has been growing quite well here going on two winters now with no dieback in an unprotected, un-microclimated area of my lot in Richmond. I've repeatedly gotten some raised eyebrows in disbelief on this - it's a very unusual plant to see growing here in ground. |

First, I really like the simplicity of Kingsburg. It makes it a fun game to play when you are looking for light hearted afternoon hangouts.
Does the new expansion add any new game elements that make it a MUST BUY for playing with Kingburg? I ask because the images seem to just depict more buildings.
Expasion questions.

Its a must buy. The soldier system improves the whole end of year combat dramatically, the new buildings add a little replay to the mix. The destiny cards give the game abit more chaos and the role cards make things abit more exciting.
Generally it perfects the game, and since its modular you can pick and choose what you like and don't like.
Posted 22 December 2009 - 11:15 AM
Thanks. I guess I will be buying the expansion eventually.

works OK. It takes ages, compared to Studio, to boot from Grub to login
though, so there's some magic under the hood of the Studio version I think.
The glx-alternative-nvidia package I mentioned was a red herring. (Sorry
if that doesn't translate well Ralph - a false lead. :)) It gets marked
as broken in Xubuntu too.
I'll try re-installing Studio, but only boot to a rescue prompt next.
It's always so hard to get a run level with everything email@example.com
