First Constitution Has Poor Physique
Once these most recent quarterly results are finalized, they will be run through TheStreet.com Ratings' model and our ratings will be adjusted accordingly. To keep up to date on all of our ratings, visit TheStreet.com Ratings Screener.
On Jan. 30, 2009, First Constitution Bancorp (FCCY - Get Report) reported that its Q4 FY08 earnings plunged 63.8%, hurt by increased provision for loan losses and reduced interest income. Net income declined to $457,000 or $0.11 per share from $1.26 million or $0.30 per share in Q4 FY07. The latest quarterly earnings missed the consensus estimate of $0.16 per share.
Total interest income during Q4 FY08 fell 4.4% to $7.37 million from $7.71 million in the prior-year quarter, while interest expense inched down 1.1% to $3.19 million from $3.22 million a year ago. As a result, net interest income dipped 6.7% to $4.19 million from $4.49 million in the same quarter of the last year. Subsequently, net interest margin (on a tax-equivalent basis) contracted 93 basis points to 3.64% from 4.57%. On the flip side, noninterest income rose 18.4% to $734,000 from $620,000; whereas noninterest expenses surged 30.3% to $4.09 million from $3.14 million a year ago. Meanwhile, income before income tax shrunk 62.6% to $724,000 million from $1.94 million in the year-ago quarter.
During the latest fourth quarter, the bank's provision for loan losses more than tripled to $105,000 from $30,000. Furthermore, FCCY's efficiency ratio deteriorated, as it rose to 76.4% from 59.5%, while net charge-offs were $303,000 as of Dec. 31, 2008 compared to $10,000 as of Dec. 31, 2007, mainly led by an increase in provision for loan losses. Moreover, nonperforming loans as a percentage of total loans advanced to 0.89% from 0.69%, while allowance for loan losses to total loans came down to 0.98% from 1.14%. Finally, as on Dec. 31, 2008, total loans mounted 25.6% to $383.05 million, while total deposits climbed 25.9% to $414.69 million. For FY08, FCCY's net income plunged 49.3% to $2.76 million or $0.65 per share from $5.44 million or $1.29 per share in FY07. Furthermore, interest income fell 4.1% to $29.12 million, while non-interest income ascended 29.0% to $3.30 million. A detailed report covering this quarterly release is now available.

In the latest Mapping America, federal surveys show that adolescents who worship weekly are less likely to have behavior problems at home and school than those who do not.
There is an irony in the taunts thrown at Christians that they are "intolerant" and "bigoted." Throughout history it has been Christians and others of strong religious faith who have spoken out and fought for those who are truly oppressed. Most notably the abolition of slavery was led by Christians like William Wilberforce in England and Thomas Jefferson Randolph, grandson of Thomas Jefferson, in the United States. And of course the civil rights movement of the 1960's found its leader in the Reverend Martin Luther King Jr.
However it is Christians and African-Americans who are being attacked, alongside Mormons, because of the leadership and support they gave the successful push for a marriage amendment in California's state constitution. Tony spoke on some of the despicable discrimination reigning down on Mormons last week. Over the weekends homosexual activists have been harassing church goers and also African-Americans (presumably because of the large number of African-Americans in California who voted for the Amendment.) At one anti-opposite-sex marriage protest in Los Angeles homosexuals hurled racial epitaphs and threatening violence towards African-Americans who support gay "marriage." (WARNING: some innapropriate ads on that link)
In a different situation an elderly woman carrying a cross was attacked by homosexual activists and her cross was taken from her and stomped upon (see the end of this video here.) In certain areas of California churches are reporting vandalism and/or protestors seeking to stop worshippers from entering the church.
If pro-marriage supporters used racial slurs and held such violent protests they would be rightfully condemned by the national media and politicians So far there has not been a peep in the national news on these incidents - and as for politicians, California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger told the homosexual protestors "(t)hey should never give up. They should be on it and on it until they get it done." And that he hopes the courts will once again overrule the will of the people.
A recently released study published in Pediatrics and sponsored by the Rand corporation has linked watching sex on television and teen pregnancy. Data from a national longitudinal study on adolescents from 12 to 17 years of age were used from over a three year period to measure experience of a teen pregnancy. Adolescents were surveyed to assess whether exposure to sexual content on television predicted subsequent pregnancy for girls or responsibility for pregnancy for boys.
Results showed that teens who were exposed to high levels of sexual content on television, were twice as likely to experience a pregnancy (either directly for girls or to be responsible for a pregnancy for boys) in the subsequent three years, compared with teens watching less sexual content on television.
Points to make regarding and related to the study findings:
Recommended reading for both parents and young adults: "Hooked: New Science on How Casual Sex is Affecting our Children," by Drs. Joe McIlhaney and Freda McKissic Bush. Watch for an FRC Book Lecture at the beginning of 2009 at which Drs. McIlhaney and Bush will discuss how new research in the field of neuroscience is shedding light on the impact having sex has on teens and young adults.
In yesterday's Washington Update I wrote about how the exit polling from November 4 clearly shows that the marriage amendments are non-partisan. In 2004 and to a lesser degree in 2006 supporters of various marriage amendments were accused of using them for partisan purposes to help the Republican Party. There is no question that certain Republican candidates, including President Bush who campaigned in support of the amendments, were aided by the amendments' presence on the ballot. The benefit to the candidates was in proportion to their alignment with the amendments, not with their party allegiance.
President Bush increased his support among African-American voters in Ohio going from 11% nationally to 16% in the Buckeye State, enough to give him the edge in that battleground state and secure a second term. Those gains among minority voters evaporated in this election even though these voters continued to vote to protect marriage from redefinition.
One could argue that the marriage amendments may have actually hurt Republicans in this cycle, especially John McCain. Literally millions of dollars were invested in the efforts to protect marriage in California and Arizona. Thousands of volunteer hours were spent in those two states and Florida to secure passage of these amendments. The McCain campaign was virtually silent on the amendments and as a result received little benefit from the efforts, which was especially significant in the battleground state of Florida.
It is quite possible that a large portion of the time, energy and resources that were spent in this election cycle to protect marriage would have been invested elsewhere had the federal marriage amendment been approved by the Republican-controlled Congress in 2005. The irony is that Sen. McCain opposed the marriage amendment and joined the Democrats and a handful of Republicans in blocking a vote on the amendment. On Election Day the protect marriage movement ran ahead of the Republican candidates.

Ballot Initiatives: No to Gay Marriage, Anti-Abortion Measures
B.C. group calls for legalization of assisted suicide
The traditional, historic, and natural definition of marriage as the union of one man and one woman was a winner on Election Day, despite the simultaneous victories for Democrats in capturing the White House and expanding their majority in Congress.
The latest results as of midday on Wednesday (November 5) show that state constitutional amendments to define marriage as a one-man one-woman union had passed in Florida and Arizona and one was likely to pass in California as well.
Although many states that have already adopted such amendments did so fairly handily (especially in 2004), each of the amendments on the ballot in 2008 faced unique challenges.
Florida was the only one of the three states where adoption of the amendment required not just a simply majority of the vote, but a super-majority of 60%. The Florida Marriage Protection Amendment was the only one of the three on the ballot this year that was a "strong" or "two-sentence" amendment, meaning that included language to prevent "domestic partnerships" or "civil unions" as well as same-sex "marriage." Florida's amendment campaign was also probably the most under-funded of the three-yet they still managed to clear the higher hurdle set for them, winning 62.1% to 37.9%, with 99% of the vote counted (official results).
Arizona was the only state ever to see a marriage amendment defeated at the polls. In 2006, an earlier "two-sentence" amendment was defeated-ironically, not because of its impact on same-sex couples, but because of publicity about its potential impact on opposite-sex couples who sometimes enter into "domestic partnerships" to avoid losing Social Security benefits to a "marriage penalty." This year Proposition 102, a revised, "one-sentence" amendment focused only on the definition of civil marriage, was successful by a margin of 56.5% to 43.5%, with 99.1% of the vote in (see official results). Turning the 2006 defeat into a 2008 victory is a great accomplishment for pro-family forces in Arizona.
The most closely-watched and heavily-funded (on both sides) campaign was the one in California. That state's Supreme Court issued a 4-3 ruling on May 15 of this year that overturned two state laws defining marriage, thus opening the door for same-sex couples to begin receiving marriage licenses a month later. The idea that the amendment would "take away rights" that same-sex couples were already enjoying undoubtedly made passage harder. This was reinforced by the biased language which California Attorney General (and former Governor) Jerry Brown ordered on the ballot, declaring that the amendment primarily "eliminates the right of same-sex couples to marry," rather than more neutrally stating that it "defines marriage as the union of one man and one woman." Despite this finger on the scale, and a vicious campaign against the amendment that included anti-religious ads, vandalism, and even violence, California's Proposition 8 appears to have passed, 52.2% to 47.8% with 96.4% of precincts reporting (official results). As I was writing this piece, it was reported on TV that the Associated Press had declared victory for Proposition 8. Congratulations to the people of California for successfully exercising the ultimate check against judicial tyranny in our political system.
The only disappointment on the marriage front was in Connecticut, whose Supreme Court followed the lead of California's (also by a one-vote margin) on October 10 by fabricating a constitutional "right" to same-sex "marriage." Connecticut does not have an initiative process whereby the people can place constitutional amendments on the ballot by petition. However, they did have the opportunity yesterday to call for a constitutional convention. Pro-marriage forces hoped that a convention might adopt an initiative process, which in turn could be used to place marriage on the ballot. Unfortunately, this three-step process may not have been understood by the voters, who rejected the idea of a constitutional convention by 59% to 41% (results here).
In addition to the three marriage amendments, however, there was one other victory yesterday for traditional family structures. Arkansas adopted a law (Proposed Initiative Act No. 1) by 56.8% to 43.2% (see here) which prohibits adoption or foster care by persons who are cohabiting with a sexual partner outside of marriage. While this would effectively bar homosexual couples from adopting, it also applies equally to cohabiting opposite-sex couples. (Single people would still be allowed to adopt, without regard to sexual orientation). Thus, while this bill is being described as "anti-gay-adoption," it would be more accurately described as "anti-cohabitation."
Whatever "mandate" President-elect Barack Obama and the Democratic Congress may claim from yesterday's results, it is clearly not a mandate (even in Florida and California, which Obama carried) to change the definition of marriage or the family.
In the latest Mapping America, federal surveys show that adolescents who worship weekly and live in an intact married family are less likely to run away from home than those who do not.

Jon Last has a fascinating article at the Weekly Standard on the depressingly sad state of the Icelandic economy-which historically hasn't done all that bad ever since Erik the Red and his Viking cohorts settled the place a thousand or so years ago. As one might expect, inept government interventions and political posturing played very large roles in the collapse. I, for one, hope it gets better, given that Icelanders with no work or money are going to be looking for something to do. When someone descended from Vikings named "Magnusson" is looking for something to do, it's time for some people to get worried-yes, I'm talking to you Newfoundland, Scotland, Ireland, England, and Normandy.

Friendly against Bergers tonight
3 comments:
2-0 to South.
Van Eeken with a penalty, and Norton with a nice solo goal, went through the Bergers' defence like a hot knife through butter.
Having said that, for the first half hour or so, the Bergers had by far the better of the chances, and were unlucky not to have scored at least a couple of goals in that period.
Gavalas pulled off some cracking saves, and even more impressively, came out flying to catch a few crosses, putting his body on the line and crashing the pack so to speak.
South's teamwork looked OK, and there was some tidy footwork from some players. Second half from both teams was fairly meh.

Overdevelopment, Overpopulation, Overshoot
Container City: Shipping containers, indispensable tool of the globalized consumer economy, reflect the skyline in Singapore, one of the world's busiest ports.
Richard Perle, recently resigned chairman of the Defense Policy Board, in a PBS interview July 11, 2002:
"Saddam is much weaker than we think he is. He's weaker militarily. We know he's got about a third of what he had in 1991."
"But it's a house of cards. He rules by fear because he knows there is no underlying support. Support for Saddam, including within his military organization, will collapse at the first whiff of gunpowder. "
Ken Adelman, former U.N. ambassador, in an Op-Ed for the Washington Post, Feb. 13, 2002:
"I believe demolishing Hussein's military power and liberating Iraq would be a cakewalk. Let me give simple, responsible reasons: (1) It was a cakewalk last time; (2) they've become much weaker; (3) we've become much stronger; and (4) now we're playing for keeps.
Vice President Dick Cheney, on NBC's "Meet the Press" March 16:
"The read we get on the people of Iraq is there is no question but that they want to get rid of Saddam Hussein and they will welcome as liberators the United States when we come to do that."
"My guess is even significant elements of the Republican Guard are likely as well to want to avoid conflict with the U.S. forces and are likely to step aside."
Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, in an interview with Wolf Blitzer on CNN March 23:
"The course of this war is clear. The outcome is clear. The regime of Saddam Hussein is gone. It's over. It will not be there in a relatively reasonably predictable period of time."
"And the people in Iraq need to know that: that it will not be long before they will be liberated."
Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz, in a speech to the Veterans of Foreign Wars March 11:
"Over and over, we hear reports of Iraqis here in the United States who manage to communicate with their friends and families in Iraq, and what they are hearing is amazing. Their friends and relatives want to know what is taking the Americans so long. When are you coming?"
"In a meeting last week at the White House, one of these Iraqi-Americans said, 'A war with Saddam Hussein would be a war for Iraq, not against Iraq.'"
"The Iraqi people understand what this crisis is about. Like the people of France in the 1940s, they view us as their hoped-for liberator. They know that America will not come as a conqueror. Our plan — as President Bush has said — is to 'remain as long as necessary and not a day more.'"
Gen. Richard Myers, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, in a breakfast meeting March 4, 2003:
"What you'd like to do is have it be a short, short conflict. The best way to do that is have such a shock on the system, the Iraqi regime would have to assume early on the end is inevitable."

I have an appengine app that allows paying customers to export their data in CSV for further analysis (BI and such). They are paying a monthly fee and I want to estimate how much would cost such an export. Does appengine provide APIs to compute the cost of a request? If not, is there any other way to compute it?
Thanks, Cristian.

Cool pic Palestine money 370. (photo credit:REUTERS/Tarmizy Harva)
Abbas on Sunday slammed Israel's decision to withhold Palestinian tax revenues as the Arab League scrambled to make up for the organization's budgetary shortfalls.Speaking at an Arab League meeting in Doha, Qatar, Abbas said Israel doesn't have the right to withhold Palestinian money from the Palestinian National Authority, and the move would force them to formulate a "new strategy" in response.The Israeli government decided to withhold tax revenues belonging to the PA in response to the group's unilateral statehood bid at the United Nations. Interim peace deals task Israel with collecting taxes and customs duties on the Palestinian Authority's behalf amounting to around $100 million a month, on goods imported into the Palestinian territories.Palestinian news agency Ma'an quoted Abbas as saying whenever Israel is "upset with anybody in the world, it withholds Palestinian money, and they don't have a right to do that."Abbas's comments came as the Arab League agreed to donate hundreds of millions of dollars in aid to the PA, Al Jazeera reported. "The Qatari prime minister and the Arab League secretary-general will follow up the implementation of this resolution within two weeks," said chief negotiator Saeb Erekat in Doha, Qatar.The aid-dependent Palestinian economy in the West Bank faces financial crisis due to a drop in aid from Western backers and wealthy Gulf states, as well as restrictions on trade. Abbas also slammed Israel for its decision to continue settlement building, particularly in the controversial E1 corridor connecting Ma'aleh Adumim to Jerusalem. The PA president said Israel must stop construction in order to return to the negotiating table, praising the Arab Peace initiative by Saudi Arabia in 2002 as a simple process calling on Israel to withdraw from Arab lands in exchange for "normalized relations" from all Islamic and Arab countries.Abbas also said that Hamas and Fatah wanted to overcome their differences. "The reconciliation is dear to us and to the unity of our people, especially in the present time, when we are talking about a Palestinian state and about getting something new," he said, but stressed talks with Israel."If we put aside the negotiating table, the alternative would be war," Abbas told envoys at the meeting in Doha. "Are we ready for war? I say no."Reuters contributed to this report.

Maven's Notebook - Maven's Minutes: State Water Project reliability issues - It's not all about the Delta, plus an update on the Thermalito Pumping Plant fire
Decreasing water supply reliability and increasing costs are not just about problems in the Delta. Serious labor recruitment and retention issues within the State Water Project have cost rate payers at least $70 million in additional costs and, in one case, cost one agency 67,000 acre-feet of water.
AP - Plan May Give Outside Agencies Role in Delta
California's water contractors would have a key role in the design and construction of the $14 billion twin-tunnel plan for the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta under a pact quietly being negotiated by state water officials, a newspaper reported on Monday.
Maven's Notebook - Blog round-up: Delta counties submit their own idea for BDCP governance, saving the Delta, the BDCP and fish, law is better than trust? and more!
Delta counties submit their own governance plan for the BDCP: The Delta Counties Coalition has long advoacted for a greater role in the planning and implementation of the BDCP, and in a white paper, define a slightly different governance structure than the BDCP's Chapter 7, which they say will give the counties "meaningful participation and control over both BDCP planning and implementation."
Sac Bee - Delta pipeline pact could 'get project done, then go away'
California water agencies have been quietly negotiating with state officials to take a major role in designing and building the giant Sacramento River diversion tunnels at the core of Gov. Jerry Brown's water policy for the state, according to documents obtained by The Bee.

Maven's Notebook - A status report on the State Water Board's Bay-Delta Plan
With so much attention and focus on the Brown Administrations $18 billion tunnel plan, otherwise known as the Bay-Delta Conservation Plan, it could be easy to think it was the only planning process going on in the Delta.
Sac Bee - Viewpoints: To save salmon, we must save fish they eat
This spring, as I spend most of my weekends fishing for chinook salmon, it's hard not to recall fishing memories with family and friends. In fact, some of my fondest recollections involve the fishing tales of my grandfather.
Maven's Notebook - Consolidated Delta smelt and salmonid cases update: Court grants a one-year extension on biological opinions
The Eastern District Court has granted the request of the water and federal fish agencies to extend the deadline for rewrite of the Delta smelt and salmonid biological opinions by one year in order to implement an adaptive management program. The extension falls short of the three-year extension that the agencies had been requesting; however, future extensions will be considered on a year-by-year basis depending upon the progress made.
Sac Bee - The big divide over water: Plan balances the needs of the ecosystem and exporters
California has an extraordinary opportunity to make its water supplies safer and more secure. We can avoid the devastating economic impacts of a natural disaster. We can restore the ecological health of the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta and enhance Delta communities. We are, at last, positioned to achieve these significant benefits through the Bay Delta Conservation Plan.

CA Water Blog - UC Davis speakers series: Critical problems for California water policy

BDCP Blog - What the BDCP Is - and Isn't

Calaveras Enterprise - CCWD chief warns of water grab
Concern is growing about the future of water supplies throughout the foothills, especially in light of a new Central Valley Delta water plan being rolled out and a continuing population increase throughout the state.

The coequal goals shall be achieved in a manner that protects and enhances the unique cultural, recreational, natural resource, and agricultural values of the Delta as an evolving place."

Just brilliant. A rich, beautiful smelling conditioner of which, thankfully, given the price, very little is needed to do the job. Free of the nasties we should avoid. I use this several times a week and it lasts forever.

Did not work well for my abundant, fine hair. Actually had to use a lot for it to detangle my hair at all.
Horrible smell. Super hard to get the last bit of the product out. Just not worth it in my opinion. I have just as much success with conditioner that costs 1/7 of this.

This conditioner is amazing! Definitely the best I've ever tried. Better than any ot the Shu Uemura or Kerastase conditioners.
My hair is very fine and damaged and I need to wash it every other day because it tends to frizz otherwise. But this conditioner eliminates the frizz completely while maintaining all the volume in my hair, and it actually stays that way for a few days. No need to wash and blowdry again. My hair is slightly curlier (in a good way) when I use this and actually looks healthy. Sometimes I leave it in my hair overnight with great results. I love it.

Amazing! Simply amazing. I have long hair that is highlighted and conditioner is super important to me. To say it was dry would be an understatement. This changed all that. I used every high end hydrating system and was always disappointed. Not with this. Hydrate.Me. is the weirdest conditioner ever. It almost looks like shampoo. It's creamy but loose in texture and you only need a nickel sized amount. I add a few drops of water to spread it through my lengths then I clip my hair up while I shave. After I rinse my hair it's not slippery but the water beads off the ends and it feels strong and smooth and light. It's so worth the cost because it's so concentrated and it actually changes how your hair holds moisture by sealing the cuticle. I feel as though the texture and hydration is actually improving rather then being masked.

My hair can get quite dry and brittle at times but this stuff makes my hair feel so lovely! It definitely isn't cheap, but I totally think its worth it. And make sure to leave it in for a few minutes before washing it off, it helps! :)

Best moist conditioner i've tried so far without protein. This is the best alongside with John Master lavendel avocado intense conditioner. The smell is great and earthy and lingers on in the hair very intense. I have the test size and think i would get the full size because how it condition each strand and the great smell.

Excellent hydrating conditioner that does not seem to weigh down my fine hair. I preferred it to the Angel Rinse, which seemed to do little.

Let me begin by saying I'm not a fan of the smell but I got over it. The consistency of the product is very deceiving. When I first saw it I thought "Yeah right, this isn't going to hydrate my hair". It is extremely hydrating. I've colored my very long hair over 5 times in the past year and a half so I'm constantly on the search for hydrating products and this met my rigorous standards. Shockingly, I felt like I didn't need a deep conditioner with this product. I have previously used Joico, Paul Mitchell, etc. but I am always able to easily comb through my hair in the shower with this conditioner and afterward which says A LOT. The only thing I don't like is the packing. The bottle looks sleek on a store shelf but it's clumsy in a shower and the price is a little much for 8 ounces but hey, if it works it works.

I like this conditioner. It's rich and moisturizes well without weighing down my hair. The smell is a strong-ish herbal scent that I am ok with but not crazy about, but it doesn't linger in your hair.
The product is kind of expensive, but with Kevin Murphy products a little really does go a long way. When I first got this conditioner I would pile it on like I do with any other thick conditioner. DO NOT DO THIS. You will run out quickly and you'll get diminishing returns the more you pile on. The product is very concentrated, and actually works better if you use LESS and mix it with some water.
Here is how I apply Kevin Murphy conditioners: 1) As with any conditioner, I wring the excess water from my hair so the product does not just slide off. 2) I apply about a nickel-sized dollop in my hand (for my thick, shoulder-length hair). 3) Here is the trick: I wet my palms while the dollop is still in my hands so that I get a small pool of water in my palm. I then RUB MY PALMS TOGETHER, mixing the product with water. This spreads the product out, giving it more mileage, and it then spreads very easily through my hair. 4) I comb it through with a wide-tooth comb. 5) Taking a smaller dime-sized dollop, I mix it with water in the same fashion and apply it to my ends, then massage whatever's left on my hands into my roots. 6) Leave on a couple minutes, rinse.
Since using this method rather than applying it as I would any other conditioner, my hair is much more soft and has more body due to not being weighed down. My colour looks bright and shiny... and if I let my hair air-dry, it actually looks decent, not frizzy or flat or stupidly wavy (this is RARE for my hair!).
My complaint is the packaging, it's cute and space-saving but I can see it becoming a pain when I start getting low, it will be hard to get it all out.
I have not tried the Hydrate.Me system with the matching shampoo, I have only used this with a cheap Dove shampoo. However, I would love to try the system and other Kevin Murphy products (I have also purchased the purple shampoo and conditioner for blonde hair). And the brand is not tested on animals! I would buy again, but I want to try the Luxury Rinse next because I think my thick, bleached hair could even use a LITTLE more moisture.
UPDATE: I take it back, the packaging is not a pain. It was shockingly easy to get all the product out. I had to turn it on its side and shake for a couple uses, but when I could no longer get any out that way and unscrewed the top to scoop out the remaining product, there was hardly any left in there at all. Weird, but true. I'm now a fan of the packaging concept.
UPDATE: Bumping my review down to 4 and changing "buy again" simply because I have tried Luxury Rinse now, and my thick hair and nose definitely like it more (you can see my review for that product for more details). YMMV. Kevin Murphy's instructional video on his website says Hydrate.Me is formulated for fine-medium hair, so if your hair is not as thick as mine you will probably be better off with this one over Luxury.

Color Phase-Contrast Microscopy: Requirements and Applications
JOSA, Vol. 40, Issue 5, pp. 329-334 (1950)
Acrobat PDF (1099 KB)
For the use of color phase contrast in microscopy, which was first discussed in the Spring of 1948, several difficult requirements must be met for the attainment of maximum brilliance and usefulness. The system itself is one in which a controlled chromatism of the phase plate is sought instead of the customary control of phase difference at one wave-length only. The thickness and dispersion of the phase ring in relation to the general aperture can be such that zero phase contrast will occur at one or more wave-lengths of transition in color sensation. If the phase contrast is made high but opposite in several spectral zones of relatively pure color sensation, striking and beautiful microscopical images are formed with objects of low inherent contrast. The greatest advantage of the system lies not in the beauty of the images, but in the clear distinction which is afforded between effects caused by scattering or general absorption and those caused by small differences of refractive index or thickness.

Chad Campbell says he's considering run for governor
State Rep. Chad Campbell is considering tossing his hat into the ring to be the next governor of Arizona.
Campbell cited his love for Arizona as part of his desire to run, and also a dissatisfaction with current Gov. Jan Brewer.
"I was raised to believe that if you aren't happy about a situation then you better do something about it," he said in a release. "Simply complaining was never the answer. That's why I ran for office in the first place."
Campbell said he has taken umbrage at the way Arizona has handled education, school safety and forgoing local business for out-of-state corporations.
Brewer's second term is up in 2014. She is considering another run, despite it being unknown if a governor can run for a third consecutive term if their first term was not full.

Welcome to the School of the Annunciation
The School of the Annunciation is a centre for adult formation, responding to the Church's call for a New Evangelisation, in which the Catholic Faith is joyfully transmitted anew in all its beauty, depth and vigour. Here you have a sure place for finding the fullness of the faith known, loved, prayed, taught and celebrated.
Situated in the extensive grounds of Buckfast Abbey, on the edge of the beautiful National Park of Dartmoor in Devon, England, every programme of the School is harmonised with the rhythm of the Divine Office sung each day by the community of monks at the Abbey.
The School of the Annunciation offers a range of courses in key areas of the Catholic faith to support the New Evangelisation. All are rooted in the Church's Scriptures and living Tradition and present the teachings of the universal Magisterium. Courses being developed use a collaborative-distance-learning model of short residency periods, course texts and online interaction for personal student support. Course details will be announced as they become available.
School of the Annunciation Prayer Mary, Mother of the New Evangelisation, as you prayed continuously with the Church at the beginning (Acts 1:14) be united with us now in prayer. Help us to return to the school of Nazareth and to echo your words in the hour of the Annunciation: "let it be to me according to your word." (Luke 1:38). Help us to rejoice in the wonder of the Incarnation and with you to treasure all these things and ponder them in our hearts (Luke 2:19). Obtain for us the courage to take our stand with you beside the Cross of your Son (John 19:25) in the hour of Redemption. Guide us as we set out along all the ways of the earth to bring to our brothers and sisters the light of faith, hope and charity (Luke 1:39). All to the praise and adoration of the Most Holy Trinity, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit both now and forever. Amen. |

1. What is your school or organization?
2. What roles have you had or do you have within the IB?
4. What was your motivation behind being a part of these publications?
5. Who do you see as the main audience for this publication?
7. Getting personal, what is your current favourite music, book and movie?
1. What is your school or organization?
Broughton Hall High School, Liverpool
2. What roles have you had/do you have within the IB?
Workshop Leader/Presenter at conferences in Istanbul, Bangkok, Athens, Marrakesh and Liverpool.
3. Tell us some more about yourself, your education, your career and other roles you have had outside of the IB.
I possess an honours degree in English and an MSc in educational management.
I have been a teacher for 36 years in the UK and for the past 12 years as Head Teacher of an all-girls secondary school in Liverpool. I have worked on secondment for the New York Department for Education's Innovations Unit and for Liverpool Building Schools for the Future programme.
I have presented at IB conferences and led training for IB schools in Bern, Milan and Oxford. I have also developed school links with China, Japan and the US.
Working with the architect of the High School of the Future in Philadelphia, we have designed and built a 21st century school in Liverpool. I have also presented for the British Centre for Science Education organization on school design to architects and educationalists from many other countries.
I spoke at the Building Learning Communities Conference in Boston in July of this year.
4. What was your motivation behind being a part of this publication?
The aim was to have a sharper focus through research on the demands facing schools and young people at a time of exponential change.
The aim was to link theory and practice to the IB learner profile and to provide stimulus for teachers, school leaders and interested parents to continue to challenge assumptions around learning.
I believe that school are among the most reluctant organizations to effectively stimulate change, as they often face significant internal and external pressures.
I also believe that learning is a fascinating topic for further study and research and that we all continue to learn.
5. Who do you see as the main audience for the publication?
The main audience was seen to be practitioners throughout the IB world and beyond. Practising and trainee teachers and colleges and universities involved in the training of teachers; those who lead, manage and design schools; interested parents and students.
6. What benefit does this book have to the user, and how would you recommend that a teacher or student use this resource?
I believe the book brings together research, theory and actual practice.
The chapters stand in isolation and can be used to stimulate an interest and point to how skills and knowledge may be put into practice.
The book also encourages reflection and self-review.
I would recommend a close reading of the opening chapters prior to selecting those areas of particular interest.
Also use the key questions to stimulate debate with colleagues.
7. Getting personal, what is your current favourite music, book and movie?
Favourite music would be James Taylor, Crosby Stills and Nash, and Andrea Boccelli.
Favourite book of all time is Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird.
Favourite movie at present is The King's Speech.
8. If you were going to a desert island and allowed to take only one item with you, what would you take?
Presuming my wife does not count as an item! I'd take my Macbook Pro.
