There are all kinds of stories out there about what causes gray hair—some true, some just old wives' tales. Let's separate the facts from the fiction.
First, let's set things straight: Gray hair isn't actually gray. In fact, gray hair is colorless. The melanin in certain cells within the hair shaft is what gives hair its distinct color. Over time, these cells produce less pigment, so the hair loses its color altogether.
Now, you've probably heard that tweezing or plucking out a gray hair will make two grow in its place. This is one idea that's definitely not rooted in science. Hairs grow one by one, so the single strand you pull will simply be replaced by another in the exact same spot.
You may also have heard that gray hair is a sign of old age. But in reality, grays can show up at any age. In fact, on average, women begin going gray at a very youthful age 34.
Of course, one of the most popular stories out there is that stress can cause gray hair. Hold on to your hats—this one could actually be true. While there are conflicting opinions about it, high stress or shocking events have been known to cause gray hair. So if your kids are nagging you in the grocery store and you tell them, "You're making me go gray!", you may not be far off.

@feruze-- Zip up footie pajamas are pretty comfortable too, but you still have to pull the baby's feet out of it when changing diapers. So you're right that button ups are good in that regard.
Have you tried the fleece infant sleep bag pajamas yet?
Those are great too! The bottom part of it looks like a sleeping bag and it leaves lots of room for the baby to move and wiggle. My daughter loved it when she was a baby. She used to get a better nights sleep and stayed asleep for longer in the sleep bag than the footie pajamas.

Tailors, Bangkok
Tanika Tailor Nightmare
Posted on: November 2, 2011 at 6:08PM
I choose Tanika Tailor based on the description here on concierge.com. First impression was good, they seemed professional, said they needed time (not like the many BKK tailors that can do everything in 24 hours). Unfortunately first impressions do not really matter when the final product is a disaster. Jacket was like a sack, no tailoring at all, arms too big and too long. The worst is they would not respond to any of my attempts to contact them. They would not rectify anything. Prices are very steep for BKK, so I was expecting something nice. Stay away.

Seriously, why is it that John Travolta gets to have resurrection after resurrection, forgiven for endless sins, yet no one seems all that enthusiastic about his former female costar? These days she is looking a whole lot better than everyone's favorite blubbery Scientologist. Maybe there actually was something to all that fitness stuff she was doing back in the Eighties.
Perhaps she should have waited to have her second coming heralded with a "Behind the Music" special, but Newton-John is now back on the big screen in Sordid Lives. It's a smart role for her, too: She plays a singer, sings a song, and then disappears until the end of the movie, at which point she sings another couple of songs, mostly old Southern standards like "Will the Circle Be Unbroken." This way she gets to leave the audience wanting more while getting top billing in all the promotional materials.
The film also delivers the return of Delta Burke, and you know you were just dying to see that happen. Give credit to writer-director Del Shores for filling his script with meaty roles for middle-age women, but jeez, aren't there enough good out-of-work actresses who aren't Delta Burke? Given the subject matter, one is tempted to deduce that Burke was cast because she'd be fun for a drag queen to impersonate.
Ah yes, the subject matter. Shores, a popular playwright from the South now residing in West Hollywood, has two favorite subjects: homosexuality and the Bible Belt. Seeing as how the two haven't tended to mix very well in real life, there's an instant predefined conflict to be had, and by all accounts Shore deals with this conflict very effectively onstage, both in the play on which this film was based and his current hit production, Southern Baptist Sissies. What works onstage, however, doesn't always translate to celluloid.
The setup is a time-tested premise most recently seen in the film Kingdom Come: Dysfunctional family members assemble for a funeral in small-town America. The family matriarch has died as a result of tripping over the wooden legs of dull-witted local G.W. (expect this to be a popular name for dumb redneck characters during the next four years), played by Beau Bridges, the man with whom she was having an illicit affair. Daughters LaVonda (Ann Walker) and Latrelle (Bonnie Bedelia) arrive to mourn at the house of their Aunt Sissy (Beth Grant), then fiercely argue over whether their mother should be buried in her favorite mink stole, Latrelle's argument against it being that it's summer, and no one wears mink in summer.
Meanwhile there are other issues at play. LaVonda's best friend is Noleta (Burke), the wife of the cheating G.W., and there's a delicate balance there between comforting the distraught wife and allowing her to besmirch the name of a dead parent. The late mom also has one more child, Earl (Leslie Jordan, a veteran of Shores's stage productions), known to all as Brother Boy, who was locked up in a mental institution twenty years earlier for being gay and a drag queen, after confessing his attraction to best friend Wardell (Newell Alexander). And Latrelle also has a gay son, an actor who lives in L.A. and bounces around from therapist to therapist trying to be accepted for who he is. Latrelle remains in denial on this subject, assuming he's only playing gay roles onstage as a form of rebellion (citing Tom Hanks, she tells him: "If you're gonna play homosexual, don't waste it on theater -- win an Academy Award!").
The Southern touches are the film's biggest strength: Shores knows all too well the world of air conditioners, iced tea, poofy female hair à la The Simpsons' Maude Flanders, anecdotes about pigs, and impromptu corny witticisms like "Get off the cross, buddy, we need the wood," or "Quit yer grinnin' and drop your linen!" Sadly it's not even a stretch to imagine Brother Boy getting locked away for being gay twenty years ago. What is a bit of a stretch is his therapist (Rosemary Alexander), who, hoping to write a book by "deprogramming" her Tammy Wynette-wannabe patient, resorts to extremely unprofessional behavior that would get anyone in her field suspended, at one point baring her breasts and demanding sexual attention.
The MVP award of Sordid Lives goes not to Burke or Newton-John but to Beth Grant, an actress late into middle age who, according to the press kit, is "best known" as Helen, the exploding bus passenger in Speed. Here she captures the archetypal single Southern aunt to a T, gossiping endlessly on the phone, constantly offering to feed people, and snapping a rubber band on her wrist every time she craves a cigarette ("behavior modi-something-or-other").
Shores deserves a lot of credit for making good use of actresses much of Hollywood probably labels as over the hill, but his directorial and screenwriting abilities still leave much to be desired. Sordid Lives feels like a play in perhaps the least successful way: It's composed of really long scenes that are mostly dialogue, with transition action imagined or implied only. Couldn't we go outside for at least one scene? The total screen time given to exteriors here is about five minutes out of nearly two hours.

Archimedes once said that if he had a lever long enough and a place to stand, he could move the world (Greek: δῶς μοι πᾶ στῶ καὶ τὰν γᾶν κινάσω). Today, the half-Greek island of Cyprus appears to be the fulcrum, and the long arm of the EU may be the lever that heaves the entire world over the edge of the abyss.
As Dennis Miller so eloquently pointed out last Friday (in Just Whose Money Is It Anyway?), most Americans would not be directly affected if North Dakota decided to seize citizens' money in order to pay its bills, but all Americans would be deeply disturbed by such an action. The principle of the matter couldn't be clearer; outright theft is wrong. But it'd probably be fear, not principle, that would have people heading for their banks in droves to withdraw cash as fast as possible.
Of course, on a moral plane, government money printing is equally reprehensible and cowardly to boot; it takes value out of people's savings just as surely as taking money out of their bank accounts, but in a hidden, indirect way. (One could make the same argument of taxation in general, unless it's voluntary.) But again, most people won't storm the Fed with pitchforks and torches as a matter of moral rectitude. They would, however, if the government simply reached into their bank accounts and seized money those people had planned to spend tomorrow.
And if North Dakota's hypothetical troubles were mirrored in other, much more populous states, like New York and California, it's easy to see how people in those states wouldn't want to wait for their governments to do the same thing. This is the abyss toward which the EU's hard line with Cyprus has pushed all of Europe.
Europeans living outside Cyprus should not kid themselves that this is just a Cypriot problem – anyone with a bank account in Greece, Spain, Italy, etc. should be thinking very hard about how safe their cash is from confiscation. As we go to press, the Cypriot parliament has backed away from the bank levy on everyone that caused so much uproar, but the new deal still seizes money from larger depositors. This does not undo the fact that it's still stealing – nor that the ECB asked for some of every citizens' savings. Europeans living in non-PIIGS countries should not kid themselves about the impact on themselves if the countries near default tumble like dominoes.
And people not living in Europe should not kid themselves into thinking that this is just a European problem; in today's global economy, every country would get hurt by a banking and economic collapse in Europe. Those who think Asia will save the world must remember that the EU is China's largest trading partner. Or was – who can say it will be tomorrow?
Key point: with a fractional reserve banking system, it doesn't take a majority of bank depositors to decide to withdraw their cash to put their banks out of business. If something like 10% of depositors decided to withdraw all of their money, banks would be in real trouble – and even if only a smaller percentage were to initially decide to keep their cash at home, they could spook the required fraction into panicking and pushing the banks into insolvency. In stable times, fractional reserve banking may seem like free goodies for all, but during unstable times, it makes banks that much more precarious. Things have to be pretty dire for an entity like the ECB to demand action that could spark such a panic.
But wait – the banks are backed by the governments, so depositors are safe, right?
Yeah, right – the same bankrupt governments that are facing insolvency themselves…
We've been saying for some time that the global house of cards could topple at the slightest rustling of the wings any of a number circling black swans. Something like the ECB turning draconian with Cyprus and scaring the heck out of everyone else in the EU seems more like a swan dive right into the heart of the teetering structure.
Many mainstream commentators are dismissing the significance of the Cyprus debacle – but the same type of people also dismissed the threat of the subprime crisis until it could no longer be denied.
This does not prove that what's happening regarding Cyprus today is the tipping point future historians will point to as the beginning of the end of the EU and hence the rest of the old economic order. But it could be.
Skepticism from the mainstream does not prove that Doug is right about the global economy exiting the "eye of the storm" this year, but it's a great contrarian indicator.
What is absolutely clear is that the extreme measures the ECB has just shown it is willing to take are solid evidence that we are right about just how shaky things are – just how close to the crumbling edge of the abyss the whole world is.
Even if the direct, overnight theft of Cypriot bank deposits does not spark a bank run across Europe, it won't change this fact. The ECB will certainly admonish us all to "pay no attention to the man behind the curtain," but we've all seen the truth.
The question to ask is not, "How can we be certain?" That one's easy to answer: we can't be. The question to ask is, "What do I risk if this is it and I fail to prepare for the hell that's coming two steps behind?"
To Doug, me, and all of us here at Casey Research, the answer to that is obvious: if we bet on the resumption of the economic storm and the so-called recovery continues, we'll miss some opportunities and maybe lose some money on investments that don't work out – but if we don't make that bet and the economy does come unglued, we will suffer heavy losses.
If – Doug would say "when" – the wheels fall off the economic "recovery," the vast majority of people will see a substantial reduction in their standard of living – and many will simply be wiped out. We don't plan to be among them.
You've heard most Casey recommendations before, at least in general terms, but that doesn't make them any less true or important now... indeed, just the opposite, if the inevitable has now become imminent.
Personally, I just sold my sports car and consolidated down to one vehicle. We really didn't need two, and I'm using some of the proceeds to speculate on an emerging gold producer that has the potential to return ten times my investment. I plan to speculate on more great companies in the months ahead, especially if the market goes into a true panic, which it has not yet. Saving in gold has long been my practice, so that's nothing new for me. As for the future, I plan two things: A) invest in technologies and companies I believe have great potential, starting with some of those covered by the Casey technology division; and B) work hard to keep myself from becoming obsolete.
Do not underestimate the importance of the latter; there is medical technology right around the corner that could drastically prolong the human lifespan. Everyone not at death's door should have at least a 25-, if not 50-year financial plan. This, in my view, makes the addition of our new income letter, Miller's Money Forever, as timely as it is important.
It's the "speculate" component of Doug's "liquidate, consolidate, speculate, and create' formula that most people have the most trouble with.
We've said many times that the essence of speculation is to buy low and sell high. The best way to do that is to buy when there's blood in the streets – which is what is shaping up in the market now. Despite persistently high metals prices, there's panic in the air, and few are willing to buy. It's at times like these, when "everyone" has given up on a commodity, sector, or asset class that cannot dry up and blow away – like metals and mining – that you can buy at "stupid-cheap prices."
We have documented and commented upon the weakening market for metals and mining stocks, particularly gold stocks, in these dispatches for some time now. We've pointed out the widening gap between the value the market is giving to good companies and the commodities that underlie them, such as gold, which has traded sideways, not down, over the last year – and at a price point previously deemed unsustainably high. It is clear to us that a potentially life-changing buying opportunity is shaping up today, and it may just be the Cyprus black swan that turns out to be the tipping point in our favor.
Now, no one can time a market bottom, except by accident. But when you can buy something that has to go up when it's selling cheap, you can make a lot of money – if you have the patience to endure until it does go up. In the case of mining stocks today, we don't think that patience will be required for a long time, but it will have to hold up to extreme volatility in the near term.
This is, frankly, not a viable plan for everyone. People prone to panic when stock in a good company drops 30% for no reason often end up inverting the speculator's formula, buying high and selling low. But for those who have the discipline to stand by their judgment of what has value, regardless of what the rest of the market is saying, it's times like these that create the most leveraged buying opportunities – opportunities that literally set the foundation for accumulating serious wealth.
The nature of success and failure in speculation: discipline and perseverance matter much more than strength or speed. It's necessary, but not sufficient, to be right – you have to stay the course.
Key point: There's a clear and present opportunity we see in the Cyprus crisis, which has already given the price of gold a shot in the arm. However it turns out, the cat is out of the bag as regards how the EU regards peoples' savings, and that could lead to the next leg up in the gold market. If the whole system does topple over the edge of the abyss, it should spark a gold mania such as have never been seen before, not even during the famous spike of 1980.
In response to this opportunity, the Casey Brain Trust has created a webinar explaining the details on what steps to take to profit from the current downturn. Whatever subsequent actions are taken or not taken, I strongly encourage all our readers to tune in to this valuable – and free – online video event, titled Downturn Millionaires.((Link to DM landing page)) It could easily turn out to be the most valuable event you'll attend all year.

Arizona Could Soon Approve Gold and Silver as Legal Tender (Mineweb)
Arizona may become the second US state (after Utah) to recognize gold and silver as legal tender. If SB1439 gets approved by the Arizona House and signed into law by the governor, gold and silver will acquire legal-tender status, defined by the state as a mode of paying debts and taxes.
"The measure also states that any coin or bullion that has gold or silver content and is issued by the United States Government can be defined as legal tender. However, no one can be compelled to accept coin or bullion containing gold or silver. The measure would also mandate that coin or bullion containing gold or silver issued by the U.S. Government cannot be taxed as property since it is to be considered money,'" Mineweb reports.
This issue has been under consideration in three other states (Virginia, South Dakota, and Indiana), but none have yet approved the suggested measures. As straws in the wind, however, these are quite telling.
Massive Increase in Chinese Gold Reserves Unlikely (Mineweb)
Vice Governor of the People's Bank of China (PBOC) Yi Gang has said that the country's gold reserves currently stand at roughly 33.9 million troy ounces, and that there is no intention to increase them significantly in the future. "More gold is always an option, but that requires profound judgment," Yi Gang said.
We think it's more important to look at what China does than listen to what its leaders say.
Why does it matter? Because, compared with China's US$3.3-trillion foreign exchange reserves, the size of the whole global gold market is fairly miniscule. An increase in China's gold reserves would signal that the PBOC is bullish on gold and provide reliable support for the metal's price.
Earthquakes Make Gold Veins in an Instant (Nature)
A new study states that gold deposits can be created almost instantaneously during earthquakes — possibly within a few tenths of a second. What appears to happen is that a rapid depressurization allows the normally high-pressure conditions deep inside to become close to the surface pressure. When hot, mineral-laden water experiences this sort of pressure drop, the water vaporizes almost instantly, leaving the minerals to crystallize in a process engineers call "flash deposition."
"The process takes place along 'fault jogs' — sideways zigzag cracks that connect the main fault lines in rock" said first author Dion Weatherley, a seismologist at the University of Queensland in Brisbane, Australia.
Since fault systems with lots of "jogs" may host gold, the study suggests that miners might be able to use remote sensing techniques to find new gold deposits in deeply buried rocks where fault jogs are common.
The idea of instant deposition is exciting, but seems unlikely to change mineral exploration much; geologists already look for these sort of jogs – dilation zones – and recognize that changes in temperature and pressure cause dissolved minerals to settle out of fluids moving through spaces created by faulting. Still, it's always good to see our understanding increase.

In its early days, the biotech industry was almost entirely science driven, but it has since expanded from a laboratory environment to a sophisticated and dynamic manufacturing environment. As technological discoveries are increasingly translated into commercial products, biotech companies are realizing that they must generate a stronger return on assets.
The implications of this evolution are that production costs and capacity utilization are becoming critical success factors. In general terms, the drive for operational excellence requires initiatives that improve quality, increase throughput, and reduce waste. This translates into Improving asset utilization Improving quality by reducing deviations and sterility failures Improving yield and recoveries
Biotech facilities are complex and highly regulated, and the industry is on the lookout for technologies that can simplify operations, improve product security, speed up changeovers and consequently improve quality and reduce costs. For this reason, we have seen rapid adoption of single-use technologies, particularly over the last five years. Single-use technologies can play a significant role in this drive for operational excellence by offering closed, sterile, ready-to-use systems that eliminate the risk of cross contamination and the need for cleaning and cleaning validation. This enables faster turnaround and hence higher throughput.
Project management for implementing disposables
The design and specification of process equipment and support operations typically are determined early in facility design, because these factors have a direct impact on facility architecture, utilities, air classifications, and flows of process, material, and personnel. So how do industry end-users evaluate the implementation of single-use systems for a new facility or retrofit project? Two managers with recent experience in this area give their views.
Perspective 1: Using Disposables in a New Facility
Karin Wassard, production director for Bavarian Nordic's smallpox vaccine manufacturing facility, evaluated the use of disposables for a new site.
Despite designing the process around closed systems wherever possible, Wassard decided to go for a low risk approach in construction by keeping room classifications high. This was decided due to parallel activities in closing the process and construction on site.
Bavarian Nordic worked with separate partners who handled engineering, process scale-up and optimization, and disposable systems. The final process design for the disposables implementation was carried out by Bavarian Nordic in collaboration with disposable system providers.

Why California gay marriage ruling may not head to US Supreme Court
US District Judge Vaughn Walker, who invalidated Proposition 8, doubts the proponents of California's gay marriage ban have any standing to appeal his ruling.
Eric Risberg/AP
Los Angeles
Do proponents of Proposition 8, California's gay-marriage ban, have any legal standing to appeal last week's federal court ruling declaring it unconstitutional?
US District Judge Vaughn Walker doubts it.
When Judge Walker decided Thursday to lift a temporary stay on his Aug. 4 decision that invalidated Proposition 8, he suggested that the legal advocates of the voter-approved gay-marriage ban did not meet the legal standards to appeal their case to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.
Walker said they needed the state government's support, which they don't have, and to demonstrate that legalizing gay marriage will lead to immediate harm even though 18,000 same-sex couples are already legally married in California.
"As it appears at least doubtful that proponents will be able to proceed with their appeal without a state defendant, it remains unclear whether the court of appeals will be able to reach the merits of proponents' appeal," Walker wrote in his ruling Thursday that lifted the stay on his earlier decision.
Nonetheless, Proposition 8 supporters have already appealed both of Walker's rulings – his decision on the constitutionality of the gay-marriage ban and the more recent ruling lifting the stay and clearing the way for same-sex marriages to resume in California on Aug. 18.
But if the appeals court agrees with Walker's analysis of the legal standing of Proposition 8 proponents, this landmark case over a state gay-marriage ban, the first decided in a federal court, could end with his courtroom and dash hopes on both sides of the issue for having the US Supreme Court issue a definitive ruling on gay marriage.

Howie Seay, MS, LATg: Senior Biological Scientist, Laboratory Manager
Howie joined the UF Diabetes Institute as part of the Brusko Lab in 2011 after giving back to society as a high school science teacher. His tasks in the lab include processing peripheral and cord blood samples, flow cytometric analysis of human immune cells and fluorescence-activated cell sorting, lab website and database maintenance, and the other various support duties of a research lab manager.
Howie's current project involves isolating naïve regulatory T cells from cryogenically preserved umbilical cord blood units for expansion and potential re-infusion of autologous immune cells into children with type 1 diabetes. We hope that this therapy can be used to repopulate the immune system with T-cells that suppress autoimmunity and reverse the loss of insulin-producing ß-cells of the pancreas.
Howie is also working on DNA methylation signatures in Pancreatic-draining lymph nodes in nPOD donors. These patterns can signify whether genes are turned on or off in a cell, and early evidence shows that cytotoxic T-lymphocytes in T1D patients are different at the epigenetic level when compared to healthy donor samples. The next step is determining why those differences happen and how those differences make the cells function in a unique way to aid in diabetes pathogenesis.

3 Product Reviews
Questions and Answers
Got a question about the 2015 Easton S1 Composite Youth Bat: YB15S1? Ask our team of experts, and they will respond within 24 hours.
Ask A QuestionWhat size do you recommend for my 11 year old who is 4'11" and 108 lbs? He is a contact hitter. Also, would you recommend the S1 or S2?
For a player of his size, our bat coach would recommend the 2015 Easton S1 Composite Youth Bat (YB15S1) in a 30" 18 oz. model. The 2015 Easton S2 Youth Baseball Bat (YB15S2) features a similar two piece design with a balanced swing weight to the S1. The differences are that the S1 is a full composite model with a drop 12 length to weight ratio, while the S2 is a two piece hybrid model with drop 13 length to weight ratio. Depending on the league you are in, the S2 might not be legal for play with the drop weight.
I am looking to buy an Easton XL1 for my son in a 30 inch 20 ounce but it is not available. What bat do you recommend instead?
If you are looking for an end loaded bat for a power hitter (like the Easton XL1) I would recommend looking at the 2015 DeMarini Voodoo OVERLORD. The 2015 Easton S1 Composite Youth Bat (YB15S1) is going to be more of a balanced bat designed for contact hitters.
Besides the 1 oz. weight differential, what's the difference between the S1 and S2?
The 2015 Easton S1 Composite Youth Bat (YB15S1) is a two piece fully composite bat with Easton's IMX Advanced Composite Barrel and the SIC Black Carbon Composite Handle. The 2015 Easton S2 Youth Baseball Bat (YB15S2) is a two piece hybrid bat, so it has the Hyperlite Matrix Alloy Barrel and the SIC Black Carbon Composite Handle. Both bats feature a balanced swing weight.
Product Description
New for 2015! This groundbreaking line of bats is unlike anything else on the field today. The concept is simple: Help players hit for power. The Speed Series helps players increase their swing speed in order to generate more power. These bats feature lighter length to weight ratios, a lower M.O.I., and a balanced feel.

What makes for better teaching and teachers? Flexibility and fairness in the workforce.
Posted by Bank Street on October 11, 2011In a recent Op Ed at the Boston Globe, former superintendent of Denver Public Schools and current Senator Michael Bennet (D-CO) argues that we need a new system to "attract and retain new, talented teachers." It is worth paying attention to Senator Bennet as he is a "big drafter" (along with Senator Tom Harkin of Iowa) of the Senate Democrats' ESEA reauthorization plan released this week.
In his piece, he writes:
"We urgently need a new system—one that provides competitive salaries from the start, and opportunities for growth, attracting talented people entering the workforce to the profession." [Source]
A major component of his plan is to front-load salary incentives for beginning teachers and decrease salary increases and retirement benefits for experienced teachers. He argues that this would work because…
"… when those teachers are ready to leave the classroom, they'll have the same flexibility so many of their peers have in today's workforce."
I wonder if he is talking about the flexibility of the 14 million Americans who are not working and count as unemployed because they are seeking employment? Or perhaps the 2.6 million Americans who have been out of work so long they have stopped looking? Or the 8.8 million who are working part time and looking for full-time work? Or, projecting forward, the flexibility to be laid off and join those numbers so the district can hire a less experienced/less expensive teacher?
Senator Bennet is correct to argue we need to find new and better ways to attract and retain high-quality teachers. But he, like so many others in both labor and management camps, misses the boat on the issue of "flexibility."
The solution that will benefit our children and educators is not flexibility in moving outside of education in mid-career, when many teachers are reaching their prime, but rather promoting flexibility to stay within the field of education. So long as teachers are considered, and allocated, as individuals who each do the same thing (some better than others) within a classroom of students, the recruitment and retention problem will not be addressed.
So, what is the solution?
Schools and teaching, like nearly every other complex human endeavor, need to be treated as team projects rather than individual projects.
Different adults who work with children bring varying strengths, interests, and needs to the student learning project. Organizing those adults around how best to serve student learning changes the entire nature of the recruitment and retention issue.
Rather than one adult for a classroom of 25-35 students, why not place four adults for a group of 100 students? And not, however, just divvied up into subject matter classes—but rather joined together so the adults support each other while supporting student learning?
Doesn't seem so far-fetched to me! Consider the following possibilities:
Example 1: The young teacher
An academically-gifted, idealistic, young adult wants to spend a couple of years working in a classroom before heading off to law school, or starting a business, or becoming superintendent of Washington DC—Great. Put her on a team of 3-4 adults, at least one of which is a more seasoned and exceptional teacher.
Both the veteran teacher and the students would benefit from the young adult in their midst. The young adult would certainly benefit, and more importantly benefit the children more, working with an expert. But, unlike Bennet's approach, pay the young adult less (not more) and the more expert teacher (more, not less) both for his/her expertise and also for the additional role of mentoring the young adult.
Example 2: The veteran teacher
A five-year veteran teacher who has learned the ropes and is good at what she does decides she would like to stay in teaching, but has no desire to take on roles other than working with children. She may want to spend more time with her own children, or she may wish to read and write poetry. She too can be a member of the team. She gets paid more than the young adult and less than the mentor teacher. But, on the team, all the adults get to do what they want to do, they get paid fairly (not equally) for it, and the student learning project benefits.
Example 3: The teacher leader
Another senior teacher has shown she is exceptional at both teaching children and teaching adults but wants to have more of a role outside of the classroom. Great. She can become part of a peer review process that has a track record of supporting those teachers who should stay working in the field and dismissing/counseling out those who should not remain working in the field. She can cycle back into the classroom or she can remain out of the classroom in an administrative role.
Teachers enter the field for multiple personal reasons, no question. Among those reasons: the capacity to earn enough money to provide one self and one's family food, clothing, shelter, and health care.
Financial incentives, however, are not the sole reason teachers either enter or leave the field. Any purely economically rational decision-maker would recognize there are greater financial rewards in other fields. Thus, teachers also enter with a sense of mission, a desire to make a difference, to share the content they love with the students and families they yearn to serve. They leave, most often, when they feel they are unable to make a difference (often because of a perceived lack of administrative support).
Keeping the job the same while paying teachers more now and less later will not help attract and retain the quality teaching profession our children deserve and the well-being of our communities require—differentiating the roles, paying fairly, and providing flexible entry points into, out of, and within teaching will.

At Large with Tom Williams > > New Jersey by the numbers
Written by Tom Williams Thursday, March 14, 2013 02:32 pm
< Prev | Next > |
New Jersey is a unique state. When you drive around parts of Salem or Cumberland counties, past the farms and open spaces, it is hard to believe that New Jersey has more people per square mile (1,189) than any other state in the union. For comparison, New York has 412 and Pennsylvania 284.
Then, when you drive around North Jersey and see residences piled on top of each other in thousands of apartment buildings, it is hard to understand how New Jersey came to be called The Garden State.
Numbers are interesting, and they usually tell a story. Here are some of New Jersey's numbers.
2 – where New Jersey ranks among the other states regarding their admission to the union. Delaware ("The First State") was admitted to the union on Dec, 8, 1787, just 11 days before the Garden State.
3 – the number of New Jersey cities who are listed among the 50 cities in America with the highest degree of air pollution. Paterson is No. 21 on the list, Atlantic City is No. 36 and Newark No. 44. Do you also wonder how Atlantic City's air is worse than Newark? The worst city in America is Visalia, California. Others on the list include No. 10 Las Vegas, No. 26 Philadelphia and No. 48 Pittsburgh.
3.50 – the average gas price in New Jersey at the end of February, the eight lowest in the country. Wyoming has the lowest (3.28) and the highest is in Hawaii (4.39). A big reason is New Jersey's low gas taxes, currently 32.9 percent. Only two states have lower gas tax rates – Alaska (26.4 percent) and Wyoming (32.4). The highest gas taxes are in Connecticut (80.6 percent).
4.7 – the average number of gun deaths per 100,000 of population, a low number because of reasonable gun laws. Only Massachusetts (3.1) has a better record. The worst are Louisiana and Wyoming, at 18.1 deaths out of 100,000.
6.15 – the percentage of residents who speak only Spanish. It is the eighth highest percentage in the country. California has the highest (13.7 percent) and Maine (0.22 percent) the lowest.
8.2 – The divorce rate in New Jersey, the second lowest in the country. Only North Dakota (8.1) is lower. The highest divorce rate is in Nevada (14.2).
8.6 – the percentage of New Jersey residents who use food stamps or EBT cards, the third lowest total in the country. Only New Hampshire and Wyoming have lower rates. The highest is Mississippi at 20.8 percent.
18.0 – the number of deaths from Alzheimer's Disease per 100,000 of population, the country's sixth lowest total. New York (9.9) is the best, Washington (45.7) is the worst.
23.8 – the percentage of New Jersey residents considered obese, the 11th lowest total. The highest obese rating is in 34.0 percent in Mississippi, the lowest is 21.0 percent in Colorado.
46.8 – the percentage of Garden State homeowners who have a mortgage that is higher than the current value of their home. The worst rate (52.2) is in California, the best (21.3) in North Dakota. New Jersey is 10th highest.
53.37 – the percentage of people born in New Jersey who still reside in the state. It's the 35th highest total. Louisiana (79.37) is first and Nevada (21.30) is last.
76 – the percentage of law students who pass the bar in the state. The national average is 76.5, the best rate is 89 percent in Montana and Wisconsin and the worst is 42 percent in California.
79.7 – the average life expectancy at birth for New Jersey residents, the nation's 13th highest age. The highest is 81.5 years in Hawaii and the lowest is 74.8 in Mississippi.
638 – the average cost (in dollars) of home insurance in New Jersey, 25th among the states. The most expensive is Oklahoma (1572) and the cheapest is Idaho (405).
676 – the average credit score of New Jersey residents, fourth highest in America. The highest score is 681 in Wisconsin, the lowest 618 in Mississippi.
1506 – the average SAT score for New Jersey students, just the 36th best in the nation. Iowa (1813) is No. 1 and the District of Columbia (1379) is No. 51.
24,313 – NJ's number of DUI arrests in 2012. California (214,828) had the most and the District of Columbia (32) had the fewest.
67,458 – the average income of New Jersey residents in 2011, a $7500 increase over the last seven years. The Garden State ranks third, behind No. 1 Maryland and No. 2 Alaska. The lowest (36,619) is in Mississippi.
106,922 – number of births in New Jersey in 2012, the 11th highest total in the country. California had the most, Vermont the fewest.
299,000 – the average cost (in dollars) of homes purchased in 2011, tied with California for fifth in the nation. The most expensive was Hawaii (425,000) and the cheapest was Michigan (114,000).
909,000 – the number of tourists who visited New Jersey in 2012, the ninth highest state. California (6.3 million) is first. By the way, the USA ranks third only to France and Spain in the number of tourists.
1,446,000 – the number of bottles of wine produced in New Jersey, the eighth highest total in the USA. The tops is 638,400,000 in California.
All in all, the Garden State seems to stack up pretty well in the numbers game.
Words to remember: "New Jersey shaped who and what I am. Growing up in Jersey gave you all the advantages of New York and Philadelphia, but in their shadow. Anyone who's come from New Jersey will probably tell you the same story" (Jon Bon Jovi)

Ultimate Silicon Valley Perk: Custom Chips From Intel and AMD
- |
- 6:30 am |
- Permalink
There's Custom. And Then There's Custom
Andrew Feldman says it's only natural for big-time computer makers to push for chips that suit their particular needs. "Customers are always asking for features and performance characteristics from vendors. It is no different in the processor business," he says. "As a system vendor, you have deep insight into the end customer's requirements. You try to convince your CPU vendor to listen to you and put the features you think the customers will want into the chip."
But there's a wide spectrum of ways this can play out. "Custom can mean a lot of things," says AMD's John Williams. Sometimes, he says, when a buyer receives "customized" chips, this merely means they're getting the best silicon that comes off the line. Though incredibly precise, the modern chip manufacturing process ends up producing processors with a relatively wide range of characteristics, and based on these characteristics, the chips are sorted into separate "bins." Certain customers, Williams says, will get access to the bins with the fastest chips — or the chips that consume the lowest power.
'Customers are always asking for features and performance characteristics from vendors. It is no different in the processor business.'
Separately, customers will ask for specific changes to a chip. A computer maker may convince an Intel or an AMD to build a new version of a chip that's then offered up to the market as a whole, but it could also push for chip customizations that aren't available to the rest of the world.
Andrew Feldman's SeaMicro began life as a company dedicated to building a new breed of low-power server using Intel's Atom chip, a processor originally designed for smartphones and other mobile devices, and according to the company, Intel built a new version of the Atom — the N570 — with "significant and specific input" from SeaMicro engineers.
This is an example of a customized chip that's available to the market at large. And since releasing the N570, Intel has built yet another version of the Atom known as the Centerton, saying it's specifically built for servers. HP has now said it will offer systems using the chip. "Intel often works with OEMs to define…custom chips, based on trends we're seeing from our mutual customer base," says Intel spokesman Mark Miller, referring to "original equipment manufacturers" such as Dell and HP.
But sometimes, chip designers will go further, customizing chips just for one particular vendor. According to AMD's John Williams, the company has turned off certain parts of a chip at the request of customers looking to save power, and in other cases, it has actually enhanced a chip. "There are certainly instances where a customer will say: 'Can you integrate this particular piece of our intellectual property that we have to differentiate our system and we want to be the only one who has access to it,'" he says.
Williams adds, however, that this sort of customization is rare. When AMD goes so far as to add instructions, it will typically make these changes available to all customers. For AMD, that just makes more economic sense.
Feldman says much the same thing, though he believes chip customization is even more difficult for Intel because — unlike AMD — the company runs its own fabs. And this will become more of an issue as customers request additional customization. A system maker could convince an Intel to add an instruction or two to an existing processor, Feldman says, but arranging for a completely custom chip is a different matter. The fabs run by a company like Intel, he says, are geared towards the production of large numbers of identical parts, not custom-built processors.
"Fabs are like printing presses," he says. "They are at their best when they are knocking out a lot of identical parts. They are at their worst when they are doing many different jobs. Because changing jobs takes time, and the press is only making money when it is running, not when it is setting up new jobs."
A New ARM for Google?
As Feldman points out, ARM is a very different animal. ARM's entire businesses, he says, is geared towards "custom" chip designs. The company licenses its core designs to outside outfits who then massage these designs to suit their particular needs.
Feldman believes that chip customization will become increasingly important in the server market. This, he says, could make the ARM architecture particularly attractive to the big web players.
"ARM has more than 100 of these licensees, each of whom is doing a 'custom' part. These chips are almost always customized for a specific application — one particular phone or some such," Feldman says. "This chip could be customized for a very large data center customer just as easily — or a very large data center company could become an ARM licensee and make their own part."
'Our business model allows this to happen. But there would have to be quite a lot of ground covered.'
At the moment, that seems a bit of a stretch. ARM chips still lack some key ingredients needed to run servers, and even ARM says we're long way from the Googles and the Facebooks building their own processors. "Our business model allows this to happen," says Ian Ferguson, ARM's director of server systems and ecosystem. "But there would have to be quite a lot of ground covered from where those [web companies] are today to a situation that would make it a reality."
As it stands, he says, ARM has not licensed technology to the big web players.
Ferguson is also careful to say that ARM machines still need a lot of work before they're running big-time data centers, and he says that Intel's abilities shouldn't be underestimated. After acquiring various businesses that could be used to add new technologies to its microprocessors, he points out, Intel has the tools it needs to customize chips for customers. Like Andrew Feldman, however, he questions whether this makes economic sense for the company.
What's more, Ferguson says, the web giants would have to acquire the right engineering talent. But that's not a big hurdle. These companies have a relatively long history of hiring hardware engineers, and Google has already acquired a chip designer: the San José, California-based Agnilux.
With Google and Facebook designing everything from servers to storage and networking gear, you could certainly see them customizing their own chips somewhere down the road. AMD's John Williams says this would be quite an undertaking — even for Google. But he doesn't rule it out. A company like ARM, he says, "lowers the bar" because it lets companies built their own chips without starting from scratch.
"You have to have staff to build the design. But you also have to deal with a lot of intellectual property that surrounds the processor, and at the back-end, you still have to develop a relationship with a manufacturing partner — and that's when the costs really rise," he says. "But if you're dealing with a very significant volume, those economics could work out."

PRESS RELEASE From the Office of State Senator Leticia Van de Putte
For Immediate Release April 23, 2012 Contact: Lee Nichols, 512-463-0126
(Austin) — Last week, Attorney General Greg Abbott released an opinion (GA-0918) clarifying the terms of eligibility for surviving spouses of 100% disabled veterans to receive a homestead property tax exemption given to disabled veterans in 2009.
In 2009, enabling legislation was passed to provide fully disabled veterans with a full exemption. In the 2010 interim, veteran organizations asked that, in the event of a veteran's death, the exemption be transferable to the veteran's spouse. Without this transferability, surviving spouses could get hit with an the increase in property tax bills at a financially vulnerable time. Thus, in 2011 Senator Van de Putte authored Senate Joint Resolution 14 which was the enabling legislation to allow the transferal of the 100% property tax exemption to surviving spouses of 100% disabled veterans. This constitutional amendment was protected from being vetoed and was sent directly to Texas voters, who voted in support of the new law.
Due to the misinterpretation of the new law by some appraisal districts, an Attorney General opinion was requested to receive clarity on the eligibility of surviving spouses to receive the exemption. Some districts were interpreting the law to mean that only the surviving spouse of fully disabled veterans who died after Jan. 1, 2012 would be eligible to receive the benefit, which was not the intent of Senator Van de Putte. The Attorney General agreed that no such limitation was proper. If a 100% disabled veteran died after 2009, the surviving spouse is eligible to receive the allotted property tax exemption.
"I am extremely pleased that Attorney General Abbott recognized that the deciding factor for eligibility is the status of the spouse on or after Jan. 1, 2012, not the date of the veteran's death," said Senator Van de Putte. "The point of the legislation was to prevent surviving spouses from losing their home, which would require the transfer of the exemption."
