Henrico's Top Teachers – Pat Rogers
Glen Allen E.S., fourth grade
Pat Rogers couldn't help but develop an interest in reading at an early age. As a child, "learning was a continual thing" in her family, she recalls. "You never stopped learning." Whenever a family member would share a new piece of information, others would ask, 'Where did you get that?" The answer always was, 'Well, I read it in a book.'" Rogers, now in her 41st – and final – year as a teacher in Henrico County Public Schools has parlayed that love of learning into a lifetime of teaching. For the past 24 years, she's taught fourth grade at Glen Allen Elementary School and finds working with students of that age particularly enjoyable because she can help them learn to take responsibility for their actions and themselves. And, of course, because she can help them find joy in reading. "If there's one thing you can do to increase a child's reading ability, it's reading. Reading makes a better reader," she says. "That's one thing that you have to make time for every day. If you provide time and they're reading at home at night and during school and they finish a book, then they're excited. Then they start to feel independent about why they chose certain books, and that independence – when they feel in control – helps them get really excited about it." It's a process that many parents have witnessed in their own children as a result of Rogers' influence. "One of Pat's greatest strengths as a teacher is to forge an interest in reading in fourth grade," a parent wrote in her nomination letter for Rogers. "In the primary grades, students are eager to learn to read because they see it as a path to independence, but Pat empowers students in the upper grades with the gift and appreciation of reading as well. I know that my own son was a non-recreational reader before entering her class. She found a way to reach him and hold him accountable so that he became a pleasure reader for those 184 days and even beyond that year." Rogers, who is a product of Henrico schools herself (Brookland Middle School and Tucker High School), now counts former students among her colleagues in the county's public school system. Despite her belief in the basic hallmarks of education, Rogers has been quick to adapt along the way as new technology arrived. She was among the first three teachers at Glen Allen to receive an interactive Promothean board, and she finds that technology has helped bring lessons to life for youngsters in a variety of ways. But trying to fit more information into the same amount of time can be challenging, so Rogers is careful not to overwhelm her students. "I love every bit of the technology," she says, "but you have to have comprehension skills, too." Though much has changed since Rogers began her teaching career, some things have not. "As far as children go, I think they're still excited," she says. "The world has changed. Parents are still interested, but busier now than they've ever been. People don't have as much free time as they used to. I actually think it's good sometimes when the electricity goes out and people just have to sit there and take a deep breath." After years in the profession, one of the greatest joys for Rogers will never get tiring. "When you see students 'get' something that they didn't get before, they're just excited about learning and excited about having something new to share. That's exciting for me." |

Nordstrom Rack Robbery: 5 Arrested In Westchester Hostage Crime
The scene at the Rack overnight Thursday.
shootsean / Instagram
The arrests of three alleged gang members in connection with the horrific robbery and hostage-taking at a Westchester Nordsrom Rack were reported over the weekend.
Details were expected at a press conference today.
Police started to take suspects into custody on Friday, according to ...
... NBC Los Angeles which, along with KNX 1070 Newsradio reporter Claudia Peschiutta, tweeted the news last night.
Police say they've made 2 arrests in connection w/ the violent robbery at Nordstrom Rack in #Westchester. @knx1070 @cbsla
— Claudia Peschiutta (@ReporterClaudia) January 14, 2013
It was the Los Angeles Times that found out that the three are suspected gang members and that an alleged, key bad guy was arrested in Phoenix Saturday.
Cops aren't yet saying what led to the trio, and when we reached out to LAPD officials Sunday night we had no luck.
The robbery was reported shortly after 11 p.m. Thursday after an employee called a loved one and said there was a heist at the store, police told us. The store had been closed for more than an hour.
View Larger Map
The first officers on scene saw enough -- a man who went back inside the store and another who appeared to take a woman to the back against her will -- that the SWAT team was called out and a standoff ensued, according to the department.
However, when SWAT team members entered the store shortly after 3 a.m. Friday, apparently after receiving more information that 14 people had been stashed or were hiding in the back of the store, the suspects were long gone.
Police were investigating whether an SUV found at Washington Place and Globe Avenue near Tito's Taco's in Culver City was a getaway vehicle.
[Update at 10:30 p.m.]: Police today announced that five people have been arrested. According to an LAPD statement, the suspects include the following:
Rochelle Monique Sherman, 33-years- old, of Los Angeles for 32 P.C. (Accessory). Her bail is set $100,000.Troy Marsay Hammock, 29-years-old, of Los Angeles for 211 P.C. (Robbery).
He is being held without bail on a parole hold.
Everett Oneal Allen, 24-years-old, of Los Angeles for 211 P.C. (Robbery).
His bail is set at $1,080,000.
Raymond Sherman, Jr., 34-years-old, of Los Angeles for 211 P.C. (Robbery).
He is being held in Phoenix without bail pending his return to Los Angeles.
Paula Roneshia Bradley, 29-years-old, of Los Angeles for 32 P.C. (Accessory).
Her bail is set at $100,000.
Four the suspects were taken into custody in the L.A. area while a fifth was arrested in the Phoenix area, cops say.

I would like to know what the plan is for all the fiber that they have laid in the central WI area.
"'If we changed, we may have to change out set top boxes on [existing FiOS customers],'" Shassian said.That would be an astounding undertaking. Frontier doesn't break out FiOS video customers, but their last quarterly report says they have 536,000 video subscribers, and since roughly 18% of their footprint can get FiOS, let's say they have 97,000 FiOS TV subs.At an average of 2.5 (to keep the over/under clean) set top boxes per household, that comes out to 242,500 devices to replace assuming nobody gets pissed and quits or reduces service. At $50/box (a low number, but let's be generous), that is $12,125,000. Just for the boxes. Not to mention labor for employees to handle the install, additional customer support calls, etc.My reaction: :O
Couldn't Frontier simply push a few software upgrades that disables the portion of the set top box that utilizes QAM and set it up instead to use strictly IPTV over MoCa (or Ethernet)?

Erik Hallander | March 30, 2014 | Comments |
As with any new technology, beacons' early days are pretty volatile territory, but we wanted to share some insights around the initial promise of beacons, good or bad.
Ever since we went to the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) last year, we (as well as half the planet) have been very curious about beacons. At the time it seemed like an incredible promise, and a spectacular way to tie together online and offline.
If you've yet to come across what beacons are, in plain English they are small emitters that broadcast a signal that can be picked up with a smartphone. Using the beacon's signal, a smartphone can display contextual messages such as, "Today we have a special deal on women's tees" when you're walking into the women's section in a store. All a user needs is an app looking for those beacons. This is platform independent as well - iPhone or Android, it doesn't matter.
Companies like Estimote and Kontakt took early advantage of the huge interest by creating some of the first beacon products on the market. The first beacons we had our paws on were Estimote ones, around November last year. From that point we've taken various beacon products through the proverbial wringer, creating proof of concepts around particular scenarios we wanted to explore.
(The Estimote Beacon product)
A few months later, there's a lot to say. As with any new technology, the early days are pretty volatile territory, but we wanted to share some learnings around the initial promise of beacons, good or bad. Enjoy!
1. Hardware Matters
Initially, the market was screaming for beacon products with very few players being able to deliver. Having watched that go crazy and after comparing tons of different ones, the verdict is definitely in. They differ. A lot. I don't want this to turn into a product review, but let's just say that the outcome you're after will depend a lot on what product you're acquiring. Responsiveness, customizability, battery life, signal strength, broadcast patterns... They all are wildly different between brands. Do your research.
2. It Kicks Wi-Fi's Ass
Many of the unique USPs around beacons can already be achieved with Wi-Fi, but ultimately each have its strengths. Beacons, running Bluetooth LE (Low Energy), runs circles around Wi-Fi when it comes to energy consumption of the device. It also offers more precise location tracking, which is important if you're looking to gain operational efficiency. Lastly, a solid Wi-Fi coverage capable of a positioning system can be quite cost-prohibitive, unlike beacons.
3. It's Very Fast to Get Up and Running
After overcoming the initial "gotchas" of developing for beacons, creating customized small prototypes for interactions within a physical space takes very little time. As a result, it's very low risk to do beacon trials within certain environments and analyze the results. A low investment barrier is often key to get trials up and running.
4. Data. So Much Data.
Because you can do certain actions when a smartphone is in range of a beacon, regardless of user interaction (the app doesn't even have to be running!), there's an enormous potential for data capture. Just make sure you're explicitly telling users about it. Overlaying this data on a floor plan allows retail brands to gain insight on "dead zones" in their stores, as well as finding out what areas are the highest value.
5. The "LE" in Bluetooth LE Holds Up
Bluetooth LE (Low Energy) claims to be highly energy efficient, and it really is. The real world impact on smartphone batteries is a lot less than I thought it would be. That being said, the more background tasks you try to run, the more it all adds up.
6. Contextual Advertising Is Real
Serving up location-specific offers, or instantly rewarding return visitation is definitely real, and doable today. "Welcome to the men's section of David Jones, today we have a special deal on black ties" as a corny example, is achievable right now. Be mindful, however. The fact that beacons have the power to wake your phone up and notify you on the lock screen is easily exploitable and will make people fairly annoyed if you're not actually adding any value beyond triggering messages.
7. It's Only Getting Better
Over the past three months, hardware has rapidly improved, software (iOS and Android) has gotten more adept at dealing with beacons, and we have certainly learnt the shortcomings and pain points. From this point onward, it's only going to get better. This is today, and if you want to think hyper-local, beacons are one of the most cost-effective solutions you're ever going to see.
In closing, we, just like everyone else, are absolutely fascinated by all the opportunities that beacons present. But, like Voltaire (and Spiderman's uncle) noted, "With great power comes great responsibility." It's very easy to see local notifications being abused out in the wild and brands have to find a very delicate balance of grabbing the attention of their customers without coming across as spammy.

Official interest rates are expected to remain on hold until late next year according to some economists, after the Reserve Bank left rates unchanged at 2.5 per cent this morning.
ASB Bank economists said it expected official rates to stay on hold until December next year, even though the Reserve Bank's forecasts implied the first move in the September quarter next year.
Westpac said it expected the first rate rise in September.
The Reserve Bank has dropped any mention of rates rising in the future. ANZ economists said that was appropriate given it was hard to see the global situation improving any time soon.
But the hurdle to actually cut rates was "very high", ANZ said, and would depend on a much deeper global recession than assumed in the Reserve Bank's central scenario.
The bottom line was that the Reserve Bank would remain on hold "for a long time", ANZ said.
Deutsche Bank said a rate rise would come by the middle of 2012 "at the earliest".
If the central bank moved at any of its next few meetings, it would be to cut rates rather than increase them Deutsche Bank said, though the hurdle for a cut was "quite high".
The Reserve Bank held official interest rates at 2.5 per cent, as the global economy worsens in the face of the European debt crisis.
The kiwi dollar gained a little ground after the announcement, trading at US77.99c about 10.45am from US77.75c just before 9am.
"There is a risk that conditions weaken further," Reserve Bank Governor Alan Bollard warned earlier this morning.
Given the current "unusual degree of uncertainty around global conditions and the moderate pace of domestic demand, it remains prudent to keep the official cash rate on hold at 2.5 per cent", Bollard said this morning.
Monetary policy was expected to remain "supportive for some time" with the Reserve Bank's expected track for ninety day interest rates now lower for longer than expected in the September statement.
There were "continued difficulties" related to country and bank debt in a growing number of European economies, and financial markets were highly volatile.
International activity had softened including the Asia-Pacific region.
The global slowdown was hitting New Zealand, but the impact so far was limited Bollard said.
While the central projection was for a "moderate downturn in global activity" risks around that outlook had intensified significantly, the Reserve Bank said in its December Monetary Policy Statement.
That was mainly because of the concerns about the strength of Europe, where activity had worsened faster than expected in recent months.
A sharper than expected slowdown in Europe would "materially reduce activity in other regions including Asia and Australia".
If things turned out worse than now expected, global trade and commodity prices would fall and global activity could remain weak for an extended period, the bank said.
Growth in New Zealand would also be weaker than assumed in the central projection of the bank, which suggests growth picking up to about 3 per cent in the year to March 2013.
If that happened, monetary conditions would need to remain supportive for an extended period, even as the Christchurch rebuild boosted demand.
Meanwhile, the Reserve Bank said that business confidence had fallen this year and investment spending was likely to remain weak for some time.
Tight international financial markets meant that it would cost more for New Zealand banks to borrow overseas to some degree in the coming year.
"There remains a high degree of uncertainty around the global outlook and there is a risk that conditions weaken further," Bollard said.
In New Zealand, domestic activity was still expanding, but modestly.
Export commodity prices remained high, though off recent peaks.
The fall in the Kiwi dollar had provided some support for the export sector.
"Over time repairs and reconstruction in Canterbury will also provide a significant boost to demand for an extended period," he said.
The rebuild was expected to cost about $20 billion over a number of years, but widespread work would only start in earnest in the second half of next year, peaking in early 2014. The outlook for rebuilding in Christchurch also remained highly uncertain, but eventually it would provide a boost like the mid 2000s building boom.
However, the Reserve Bank's projections for economic growth are modest, with quarterly growth of 0.6 per cent in the last quarter of this year, rising to 0.8 per cent by the end of 2012.
Annual GDP growth was projected to be 2 per cent in the year to March 2012, rising to about 3 per cent in the following March year, despite the expected pick up from rebuilding in Christchurch.
Unemployment is projected to trend down slowly from 6.6 per cent now to 5.6 per cent by March 2013.

After Number Of Words, Drew apologizes to Burgess Meredith for not remembering him as having played Mickey, Rocky's coach. Depending on when the taping made to create this show occurred, e.g. if it was made during the Season 1 tapings, Drew most likely might have been apologizing to a dead man. Burgess Meredith died in early September 1997. Season 1 premiered August 1st, 1998, so, it is possible the taping might have occurred when he was still alive, but, unlikely.

Looking through his old pictures Him as a child His dad was at an early age He wishes for more then just an image Closing his eyes Trying to picture his dad Where is his dad now? Wishing to see beyond the face A tear falls unto the picture Running down unto his lap He longs for more then just a word upon a letter His dad has written him Longing for his fathers existence For the relationship he wished he had He awaits for the next letter He never receives Falling upon his knees Tears Crawling down his face Wanting to know his father better

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Pressure could increase on North Carolina utilities regulators to justify decisions to charge customers hundreds of millions of dollars more as part of a case the Supreme Court heard Tuesday.
State Attorney General Roy Cooper's office argued that there's little evidence the North Carolina Utilities Commission independently analyzed the consumer impact of allowing Duke Energy to raise electricity rates for its 1.8 million customers by 7.2 percent. The commission is responsible for balancing the interests of both customers and investors in what are regional monopolies, while ensuring the companies are healthy enough to maintain a system of constant electricity supply.
The Supreme Court can reverse the commission's January decision to allow the rate increase, which generates an extra $309 million a year for the country's largest electricity company. The increase included a 10.5 percent profit for Duke Energy's subsidiary operating in most of the state from Durham west, but pushed typical residential bills up by $84 a year to almost $1,236.
"Consumer interest is supposed to be on a level playing field with shareholder interests," Cooper's consumer protection division head Kevin Anderson told the court's seven justices. "Yet we had expert testimony here that only focused on the impact to the utility's credit rating and shareholder interest."
While hundreds of consumers last year objected that Duke Energy's requested increase would pile misery atop high unemployment and home foreclosures, the utilities commission's order approving the lower rate increase doesn't specify what weight it gave those warnings, Anderson said.
There is "this notion put forward that when it comes to consumer interests the commission's findings and conclusions don't have to be specific. They can sort of be vague," Anderson said. Justices should question "did the commission do what it said it did, and if so is there any evidence as to how it factored that in?"
Duke Energy sought the price increase after capital investments of $4.8 billion for power plant modernization, environmental compliance, and other construction projects approved by state regulators since 2009.
Lawyers for the utilities regulator and Duke Energy told the court the impact of higher rates was considered and the company's earlier 15.2 percent increase request reduced. The lesser rate increase and concessions to help poor households approved by the Utilities Commission were negotiated by the regulator's division that advocates for consumers, the Public Staff.

text: HomeFilmAwards 'Inception' director tops himself again Email Print +Talk +G+ +Tweets November 4, 2010 | 05:00AM PT Britannia Awards: Christopher Nolan Craig Phillips BAFTA inner-city screenings carry on HONOREESBetty White | Jeff Bridges | Christopher Nolan | Michael Sheen | Scott Free Prods. It is rare for a director to be the center of attention every moviegoing year, let alone to continually out-do himself. But Christopher Nolan, this year's John Schlesinger Britannia Award recipient for artistic excellence in directing, wowed again with his mind-bending "Inception," which has grossed more than $800 million worldwide while also becoming one of the year's most buzzed-about films. "Nolan's genius is he manages to make intricate art-house movies posing as multimillion-dollar action blockbusters," says BBC critic Mark Kermode. "His success (proves) that big-budget movies don't have to be stupid." A writing partnership with younger brother Jonathan, co-scripter on five films, has been most fruitful. They brought the "Batman" franchise back to life with the tentpole "Batman Begins," and the dynamic duo is now prepping the series' third film. Nolan will also be shepherding, but not directing, a "Superman" reboot. While some have been put off by what they perceive as Nolan's emphasis on concept over the human element, each work has been undeniably provocative. And "Inception," which inspired watercooler debates everywhere, signaled a new direction for Nolan's career. "Nolan somehow circled the square (with 'Inception') like none of his contemporaries have," says AV Club film critic Scott Tobias. "As long as he continues to produce arresting images and large-scale set-pieces, he's free to explore concepts that would normally be too complex for mainstream — and arthouse — audiences to digest."

World's Most Expensive Solid Gold LEGO Brick
Just because we're part of the LEGO devotee fan club doesn't mean we're spend insane amounts of cash on something like a solid gold LEGO brick. Made from 14-caret gold, the brick is selling for a whopping $14,500.The standard-size 2×4 LEgO Brick were actually only given out to select business partners once or twice a year from 1979-1981, and even a few LEGO employees who celebrated 25 years or more with the company got their hands on some of these rare bricks. But now, anyone with that much cash and conviction to own one can thanks to the Internet since these bricks aren't just for LEGO employees or executives anymore.
Brick Envy has found one golden LEGO brick that they've put up for sale, with the origins or background on the rare piece a mystery that probably the best Clue players couldn't solve. The gold brick comes in its original display box which features the LEGO logo of the time that it was given out, with the site mentioning that the box itself is plastic and has a minor amount of storage wear on it.

My dad died of congested heart failure on September 16 2011 at 4am in Tennessee. My only child, so far, was born on December 21, 2011, 4:44 pm weighing 7.7 pounds via c section. I miss my daddy every second..... I still have not broke down and grieved over my dad. When the time is right for me....??

I completely understand how you are feeling. I lost my mom may 18, just a few weeks ago to pancreatic cancer. The pain of losing your mom is almost unbearable. I've never felt my heart do heavy or the tears flow so freely. I wish I was there to put my arms around you and hold you. I am so very very sorry. Don't hold back the tears. They will help.

I am so sorry for your loss! I lost my mom a year ago from cancer and it is probably one of the hardest things we go through in our lives. I live in San Diego and she lives in AZ. I couldn't be with her when she passed and I understand how much more difficult that makes things. Prayers to your family!
So sorry. My dad and I recently had a discussion on a similar topic of people somewhat choosing their passing. I think that's what your mom did. She wanted to give you joy, always a mother it seems, taking sorrow on for herself to keep it from those she held dearest. Prayers of comfort to you and yours.

Hey guys, i was wondering if someone could lend me some help. I havent brewed in a couple years so i am a little bit rusty. can you tell me if a recipe like this will turn out all right? I wanted to follow my own recipe this tme since i have allways used a recipe from the brew shop. 1.25lb caramel 40L malt 9lbs of NW amber extract 1 oz of simcoe hops at 45 mins .5 oz Simcoe 15 mins .5 oz simcoe hops at 5 mins dry yeast (i think the last time i was at the brew shop there were 2 types of wyeast) I am looking for something that is mildly hoppy, has a medium sweetness like caramel, and has about 6-7% ABV. I have used 2 ounces of cascade hops in the past and it was about perfect for hops. Also, what dry yeast should i use? Am i forgeting anything?
Looks like a winner to me. I'm guessing with 9lbs of extract it could come out to a little more than 7% ABV if you're only making 5 gallons. Not a bad thing though. My favorite dry yeast is Windsor. My favorite dry yeast is danstar Windsor, but wyeast I'm sure will produce a good beer. Your recipe is very similar to a recipe that I make on a somewhat regular basis. It makes a great beer.
All right, thank you very much. I am off to the brewshop.
I've never used the wyeast dry yeast but i highly recommend the safale products. The simcoe hops should make for an interesting beer, let us know how it turns out.
I was mistaken about the yeast, I think i used nottinghams in the past (cant really remember, i know it was dry though) I went with wyeast 1056 liquid yeast, hopefully it will be allright. thanks everyone for your help.
by the way, how would a poison oak honey primer be for this beer?
Hmm, i dont know the difference between L.M.E. or D.M.E.. This is only my 7th batch of beer and i am still a begginer. I went to the brewshop and bought "9lb amber extract syrup". I cooked it up tonite and it tasted pretty good thus far. I know the flavor will change a lot but i think that this is what i was looking for. seemed to have a perfect balance of hops (although i started drinking some microbrews which seemed to give them a better flavor after i sampled to wort)
