FCW published an article Sept. 6 in which sources questioned the integrity and trustworthiness of the National Institute of Standards and Technology following the release of top-secret documents showing the National Security Agency weakened a set of encryption standards adopted for worldwide use in 2006.
Readers expressed concern at the news, questioning whether the NSA's intervention was a one-time event or a frequent occurrence.
So if our computer security standards are open to, let's call it "tweaking", I wonder what other standards that NIST regulates are "tweaked?" remarked one reader.
Another said, So much for NIST's credibility. I noticed they ignored the good stuff brought to them, now we know why.
A reader identifying himself as William Frazier questioned why government agencies even bother to compare each other's security protocols when they're all apparently operating with subverted encryption standards promulgated by NIST and used in IT solutions mass-produced by vendors.
Another reader wondered how far down the rabbit hole NSA-tweaking extends beyond encryption standards.
Frank Konkel responds: NIST responded to the criticism on Sept. 10, reopening the standards for public scrutiny and stating "NIST would not deliberately weaken" standards it approves for adoption.
However, the key word here is "deliberately," and I agree with readers who believe NIST's credibility is now open to question. When a top-secret NSA document – leaked by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden – states directly that the NSA "became the sole editor" of the weakened encryption standards in question, what does that say about NIST?
Nobody has come out and claimed responsibility for the apparent weakness in standards, and it's unlikely anybody will. What is more likely is that the cryptographic community will work hard to expose the vulnerabilities– if any – and work to correct them in a widespread, yet sensitive endeavor. If vulnerabilities exist, patches will be made. But as several cryptographers have noted, the time between when a vulnerability is found and a patch is implemented is key.
Regardless, the revelations uproot the image of NIST as a "just the facts, ma'am" agency based on scientific principles, which is sad for federal agencies and worldwide commercial organizations that adhere their security standards to NIST recommendations. What role did NIST play in adopting the weakened standards?
The agency says none at all, and that raises questions in itself. How many other standards were adopted in the same fashion? Was NIST handcuffed by the NSA from discussing any kind of potential sabotage? How often does the NSA take the lead on standards for unclassified systems?
NIST regularly exposes its standards to public scrutiny in an effort to be a transparent organization, but if anyone at the agency knew the NSA deliberately or even inadvertently messed with standards, they sure didn't make a public fuss about it.
While the whole issue got lost in the NSA leaks story, the NSA's efforts to defeat encryption by any means necessary is one of the biggest stories to come from Snowden's flash drives. Perhaps there is more to come on that front, and if it involves more collaboration between NIST and the NSA, it may be more bad news for feds.

The National Information Exchange Model's usefulness extends far beyond its origins in justice and law enforcement.
While it is easy to speculate or fantasize about NIST collaborating with NSA, the point that is being missed is that NIST's statement is actually a bit of a middle finger to the NSA. When one agency is accused of weakening a standard and another says there is no way they'd ever do anything to support that, it suggests that there is a pretty big schism here and a real violation of the boundaries that the two have generally had in place. That may be the bigger story here.

Kameha Grand Zurich Will Open March 1 as an Autograph Collection Hotel
Switzerland has been concentrating so hard on their budget offerings recently that we were beginning to worry they�d forgotten all about what they do best � insanely expensive luxury properties.
Luckily, they haven�t � just take a look at the Kameha Grand, opening in Zurich March 1.
The Kameha is already styling itself as your new �lieblingsplatz�, or regular haunt, in Zurich. Not sure where they reckon we hang out already, but this is a bit of an upgrade.

Only In Switzerland Could a Hostel Have a Spa Like This
Switzerland: a country that takes pride in being completely unaffordable for anyone from outside of it. Edit � a country that did take pride in being completely unaffordable. For this summer, we have seen the emergence of a New Switzerland � one that pities us, one that wants us to come stay without having to remortgage our house, one that suddenly wants to thrust budget accommodation at us. Not you�re your standard crappy budget digs, of course; no, the New Switzerland is a place of hip �hostels� that other countries would class as nice hotels.
First came the Saanenland Youth Hostel in Gstaad. Now we have the wellnessHostel 4000 in Saas-Fee, which opened this month.
Of course, you already know it�s a trendy kind of place � it was clearly named to be a hipster magnet, after all � but listen to what it actually has. It has a pool (and separate children�s pool). It has a spa with saunas, a herbal steam bath, hydromassage showers, and a �gorge balcony� (presumably it looks over a gorgeous, rather than being especially gorgeous). It offers a hotel-level massage list. And all this stuff comes with humungous windows overlooking the mountain landscape.

The Ever-Expanding Burgenstock Resort Will Have 3 Hotels When It Re-opens in 2017
Nestled 1600 feet up from the shores of Lake Lucerne in Switzerland, a luxury resort is recreating itself--The Burgenstock Resort, scheduled to re-open in 2017. When all is said and done, there will be three hotels: The Burgenstock Hotel; the circa 1906 Palace Hotel; and the Waldhotel, a medical wellness destination. Add to that a spa the size of a football field, a conference center, residences, and several dining options.
The Burgenstock Resort is being developed by Katara Hospitality, who are also presently transforming the Royal Savoy Lausanne. Katara has again retained London-based MKV Design to take on the interiors of the Burgenstock Hotel, as well as the Palace Hotel renovation and the mega Alpine Spa. Right now, we're getting an early look at the Burgenstock Hotel.

Hostel Is Not Necessarily A Dirty Word In Expensive Switzerland
Ah, Switzerland. Beautiful. Peaceful. Friendly. Easily navigable�
Expensive as *&$k.
Luckily, for those of us who�ve been put off visiting because we don�t earn the world�s highest minimum wage, Switzerland has a plan.
It involves a hostel, but don�t stress. This is no ordinary hostel. It�s a posh hostel (surely someone�s coined �poshtel� by now).
The Gstaad Saanenland Youth Hostel is, as the name suggests, in pricey Gstaad � the village of Saanen, to be precise. It opened a few weeks ago, and it�s eco-friendly. Most importantly (because who cares about the environment when facing the prospect of sharing a room with strangers) it has ensuite double and single rooms as well as its shared rooms (no giant dorms here � four or six beds are your options). A buffet breakfast and locally sourced, three-course dinner is available in the dining room, and there�s a sunny/snowy terrace, depending on the season, to soak up the views.
Let�s be honest, this is no Kex Hostel � rooms are Ikea-basic, with wooden floors, bedframes and shelving the fanciest thing about them. But this is hearty Switzerland, where it�s all about the views � almost all the rooms face the Swiss Alps, giving you megabucks panoramas for a fraction of normal Gstaad prices.

Funky Friday: The Amazing Floating Candles In the Bar At The Dolder Grand
Welcome to Funky Friday, a new segment we�re trying out which features one photo that we think singularly expresses a hotel�s inner psyche. We look for, and often find, a lot of wacky, wild and wondrous designs that seem to have one thing in common: a Type A personality. So why not have a bit of fun as we all wrap up our week by taking a quick look at some hotels that quite frankly, want our attention.
For this week�s Funky Friday, we�re stepping up to the bar at The Dolder Grand in Zurich, at least via the internet. Now look up. It is a magical sight to behold � an array of sparkling candles seemingly floating in mid-air.
OK, they�re not real candles and they're not really floating, they�re custom lights made by Swarovski crystal, which explains the extra sparkle. Swarovski is not just about jewelry or your favorite figurine. It has a successful architectural lighting division and has created some pretty amazing designs for hotels such as the Sparkling Hill Resort in British Columbia.

The Royal Savoy Hopes the Hobnobbing Will Continue When it Debuts its New Look in 2015
The historic Royal Savoy in Lausanne, Switzerland is in the midst of a dramatic makeover, due to be completed next year. The word is out, and now early images are out, and we are sharing them with you.
The Royal Savoy opened as a hotel in 1906 and was a popular destination for royalty and bigwigs from around the world. It was built during the short-lived but highly artistic Art Nouveau period, and the hotel is both a landmark and a pride of Lausanne. Defined generally by the free-flowing curves and shapes found in nature, Art Nouveau style provides a rare context for contemporary hospitality design. The Royal Savoy has taken on the challenge with a full-out renovation and expansion that will include almost twice the number of guest rooms (196), a wellness center, and quite a new look.
The hotel is one of three properties of the Burgenstock Selection, owned by Qatar-based Katara Hospitality. They have some pretty special properties including one in particular we have all been waiting for � the Peninsula Paris. That being said, we can�t wait to see how they transformed Royal Savoy.

After a Century, Le Grand Bellevue Returns Like New To Gstaad
The last year or so has seen a number of new ski hotels hitting the slopes in perennially chic Switzerland: from the vast Asian-inspired Chedi hotel, somewhat improbably plopped on a mountainside in Andermatt by an Egyptian billionaire, to the first W �winter-style� and more traditional alpine-rustic Cord�e des Alpes in Verbier.
Just before Christmas, Gstaad � an haute-glam village that apparently counts Mrs. Sound of Music herself, Julie Andrews, as a long-time fan � welcomed back Le Grand Bellevue Hotel, after a year-long restoration of the original 1912 Cure House and Spa.

Swiss Ski Slopes & Sleeps At Cord�e des Alpes Verbier
Anyone that went looking for some serious snow action in Switzerland over the holidays got more than their money�s worth: up to three feet of it fell within the space of 24 hours this week. So it did in Verbier, the ski resort in the country�s south-western canton of Valais, long a draw for those seeking a glamorously picturesque setting to enjoy the 4 Vall�es (�Four Valleys�) with its hundreds of miles of slopes.
Mostly limited to private chalets so far, (apr�s-) skiers have a few more accommodation options these days, including the year-old Cord�e des Alpes hotel, which is where we headed for the opening of the ski season earlier this month, managing to get in and out before winter brought its much-anticipated heavy snowfall. A fifteen-minute walk from the main Medran ski lift, Cord�e's first impression certainly didn�t disappoint, from the typical pitched roof and wooden balconies to the rather clever rotating carved panels lining the ground floor restaurant and swimming pool.

Snow Peaks and Log Fires at Cord�e des Alpes Verbier
Ski season is in full swing: there are deals to be had, expectations to be met, and of course, hotels to be explored. In Europe, the swish Swiss resort of Verbier has been grabbing a lot of headlines, not least among which for the inevitably loud arrival of W�s first ski resort (and unsurprisingly, it has managed to find a rather in-your-face spot in town that makes it impossible to miss).
But to think that that would be all would be a mistake. To find out for ourselves, we undertook what turned out to be a rather epic journey to Verbier, one that involved nearly every possible mode of transportation as we journeyed across Switzerland over the course of a day of mishaps, including an unplanned ski gondola to make it over the finish line at 1,500m (4,900 feet) altitude and our room at the less-than-a-year-old Hotel Cord�e des Alpes.

W Verbier Switzerland Nearly Ready For December Debut
This December, W Hotels will debut their first ski resort, the W Verbier, in the heart of the Swiss Alps and two hours from the Geneva airport.
Verbier is considered one of the best ski destinations in Europe and equally famous for its party scene, so it's a fitting location for the party-centric W brand.
The property will be made up of a 123-room hotel as well as 15 full-service private residences located adjacent to the four housing chalets on the Place Blanche main square, conveniently located next to the main gondola. This means direct, ski-in, ski-out access to slopes like the 3, 330 meter Mont-Fort and 400 km of ski runs.
Also, each room includes a fireplace as well as a private balcony--what is sure to be a killer combo.

However, as the Texans rolled to 2 straight AFC South championships and I entered my 7th season traveling with the team as it's sideline reporter on the radio broadcasts, I started warming up to the possibility that I might be on the field working the first-ever Super Bowl in my hometown. I even allowed myself to fantasize about the possibility that the Texans could face the team I grew up rooting for, the New York Giants, winners of 2 of the last 6 Super Bowls. Well, you know what they say about the best-laid plans. The Texans' season was a 2-14 train wreck and the Giants won just 7 games.

The truth is
I have hoarded your words.
Made haphazard stacks on on the stairs,
on the grand piano
so I would not forget as well
or as thoroughly
as you have.
For now, new beds play host to the faded pages
of a notebook, the one I used to write letters to you
that I never sent, that spent so many years under the pillows.
Washed in the laundry, the ink leaves black stains on white sheets,
determined to exist,
There are ghosts beyond the shadow of the fabric.
In that place where poetry comes from,
they're counting the threads of our histories.
They intersected, I know they did:
You read it.
I wrote it down.
Flames lick the edges of the bound volume.
is cheaper
than leather --
But you knew that.
It burns faster.
I suppose you knew that too.

All my stuff has arrived from Midwest Supplies and I have a 3 day stretch of days off. It's BREW DAY! This will be my first batch ever. I went with an extract kit from Midwest called Big River Brown Ale. I've read everyones posts on how hard it is to totally ruin a batch of beer.(ya'll just don't know me...) So we'll see. I'm actually excited! Hopefully the rain will stay away long enough to get the boil done. I'll keep everyone updated.
Have fun and good luck!
It's true. It really is pretty hard to ruin a beer. Unless you get an infection or do something crazy like forget to add any hops at all you'll still get beer of some sort. May not be the best beer you've ever tasted, but chances are it will be good enough to drink. Brew on!
Make sure to: Keep it clean and sanitized. Ferment cool. Relax. Eric

Relax, you'll do fine. Just be yourself and have a good time. Try not to overindulge during the brewing, and remember, the yeast know what they are doing. Let them do their thing for 3 weeks before messing with them! (It will be hard, but I know you can do it!)
Good luck. Everything went wrong with my first batch (broken floating thermometer, dropped an unsanitized spoon in the fermenter) and it turned out great. I was so worried about it, but it turned out to be one of the best brews I did. If you drink while you brew, just don't let the alcohol get the best of you and make you rush, or forget a step. RDWHAHB! Good luck.
As you know from my posts, I just brewed that one last Thursday. It really wasn't that hard, just relax and watch your temps. I cleaned/sanitized the ish out of everything, got excited and steeped the grains too high. Have fun. You'll freak out until you see signs of fermentation, then you'll freak because you think its infected. If I didn't screw it up, neither will you. So relax and take your time!

History of Lancashire
The History of Lancashire begins with its establishment as a county of England in 1182, making it one of the youngest of the historic counties of England.
Early history[edit]
In the Domesday Book, some of its lands had been treated as part of Yorkshire. The area in between the Mersey and Ribble (referred to in the Domesday Book as "Inter Ripam et Mersam") formed part of the returns for Cheshire.[1][2] Although some have taken this to mean that, at this time, south Lancashire was part of Cheshire,[2] it is not clear that this was the case, and more recent research indicates that the boundary between Cheshire and what was to become Lancashire remained the river Mersey.[3][4][5] Once its initial boundaries were established, it bordered Cumberland, Westmorland, Yorkshire, and Cheshire.
Lancashire takes its name from the city of Lancaster, whose name means 'Roman fort on the River Lune',[6] combining the name of the river with the Old English cæster, which referred to a Roman fort or camp.[7] The county was established some time after the Norman conquest when William the Conqueror gave the land between the Ribble and the Mersey, together with Amounderness, to Roger de Poitou. In the early 1090s Lonsdale, Cartmel and Furness were added to Roger's estates to facilitate the defence of the area south of Morecambe Bay from Scottish raiding parties, which travelled round the Cumberland coast and across the bay at low water, rather than through the mountainous regions of the Lake District. Though the Pipe Rolls of 1168 refer to a county of Lancaster, that indicated merely the north of present Lancashire. True, the rest had broken away from Cheshire, but it had become a separate territorial division, "'twixt Ribble and Mersey." When the fusion did take place, "Lancastershire" and not "Lancashire" was the first title and, in the time of Henry VIII, Leland, the antiquarian, was still using it.[8] Lancashire became the preferred designation, as a syncope of Lancastershire.
The county was divided into the six hundreds of Amounderness, Blackburn, Leyland, Lonsdale, Salford and West Derby. Lonsdale was further partitioned into Lonsdale North, which was the detached part north of Morecambe Bay (also known as Furness), and Lonsdale South. Each hundred was sub-divided into parishes. As the parishes covered relatively large areas, they were further divided into townships(not shown on map) that were more similar in size to parishes in counties in the south of England. Outside of the administration of the hundreds were the boroughs. Prior to the Municipal Corporations Act there were relatively few boroughs in the county. But following the act, 22 towns were incorporated up to 1862 as the county became more populous due to the continuing industrial revolution.
Administrative boundary changes[edit]
Districts and county boroughs of Lancashire in 1961 | |
The modern administrative county is now rather smaller than that of the historic county due to significant local government reform. On 1 April 1974 the Furness exclave was transferred to the new county of Cumbria,[9] the south east went to Greater Manchester and the south west became part of Merseyside.[10] Warrington and surrounding districts including the villages of Winwick and Croft and Risley and Culcheth were annexed to Cheshire. A part of the West Riding of Yorkshire near Clitheroe, was transferred to Lancashire also.
In 1998 Blackpool and Blackburn with Darwen became independent of the county as unitary authorities, but remained in Lancashire for ceremonial purposes, including the provision of fire, rescue and policing.
Although the county town of Lancashire is considered to be Lancaster, the county council is seated in the city of Preston.

Certainly there were links between Cheshire and south Lancashire before 1000, when Wulfric Spot held lands in both territories. Wulfric's estates remained grouped together after his death, when they were left to his brother Aelfhelm, and indeed there still seems to have been some kind of connexion in 1086, when south Lancashire was surveyed together with Cheshire by the Domesday commissioners. Nevertheless, the two territories do seem to have been distinguished from one another in some way and it is not certain that the shire-moot and the reeves referred to in the south Lancashire section of Domesday were the Cheshire ones.

No, you guys think that because we never hear the inside details of our FO's plans and how the FA system has a million moving, fluid parts to it, then it must mean the FO are boobs.
Seriously, once again you're proving my point: Fans don't know what goes on in a FO leading up to the FA period and even during the FA period.
Just because something doesn't go the way you think it should go, it doesn't mean the FO screwed the pooch.
To you, the FO gets players by blind luck and misses out on the player they really wanted. Sure, our primary target was Aso but there was a Plan B and the FO switched gears. Still have to give credit to the FO for not being stubborn like the HC has proven to be his whole time here. That's why Rick > Gary...one guy has ability to adjust, the other doesn't.

Oxford Utd V Bury at The Kassam Stadium : Match Preview
Oxford Utd V Bury - view commentary, squad, and statistics of the game live.
U's wait on Kitson
Oxford will assess striker Dave Kitson's fitness ahead of the visit of Bury to the Kassam.
The former Reading striker made the perfect start to life at his new club in the 4-1 victory over former employees Portsmouth on Saturday but missed out in midweek with a rib injury.
Manager Chris Wilder rang the changes for the 4-0 loss to Charlton in the Capital One Cup with Alfie Potter and Deane Smalley, who both netted twice at Fratton Park, sitting on the bench at The Valley.
Along with Sean Rigg they look likely to return to his starting line-up but Jonathan Meades remains sidelined with his leg injury sustained during pre-season.
Bury could make changes for the first time this season.
Boss Kevin Blackwell was rewarded for sticking with the same XI in midweek as the Shakers defeated Crewe 3-2 in the Capital One Cup to set up a Round 2 clash with Norwich.
However, Blackwell revealed that one or two unnamed players had sustained knocks following that performance and it would be touch and go if they would face the U's.
Furthermore, Jordan Sinnott could come into the manager's thoughts following his arrival on loan from Huddersfield.

Hear Lily Allen's Smug 'Girls' Auto-Tuner 'L8 CMMR'
Frustratingly underwhelming return continues with off-kilter tribute to her man
Whatta man, whatta man, whatta mighty good man. And most importantly, he's Lily Allen's man and "you can't have him." That's the gist of the U.K. singer's new song for HBO's Girls soundtrack. Co-written and co-produced with Greg Kurstin, "L8 CMMR" is bright, bouncy electro-pop with well-crafted hooks and some playful Auto-Tune effects, all on the subject of Allen's evidently wonderful beau.
But something about it all is a little lackluster. Maybe it's the House of Pain horn intro? There's also the roteness of the "game, set, and match" imagery, the randomness of the "latecomer" lyric and its textspeak title spelling, or the calculated-feeling provocation when she appears to refer to herself as "this fat lady." This last bit of potential raw meat for a social media crowd that just finished debating Gwen Stefani's use of the word "chunky" comes after Allen's quickly deflated "Air Balloon" name-checked Kurt Cobain, and her "Hard Out Here" video clumsily (at best) went after Robin Thicke's "big dick." The oh-for-three batting average since the singer's return — let's not even acknowledge her Keane cover — is especially frustrating given that we'd been rooting for Allen's pop comeback for a couple of years now.
Maybe the flaw here is in the song's basic theme. "Whatta Man" is about praising a decent guy, not nah-nahing those who've been unlucky enough to find someone like him. Likewise, Brandy and Monica's "The Boy Is Mine" benefited from the tension of an actual love triangle. And one of the best songs of this type, Nina Simone's take on jazz standard "My Baby Just Cares for Me," is less about warding off competitors and more about a lover who prefers the singer's company to "high-tone places" — maybe not coincidentally, also the theme of Miguel's superior Girls seduction "Simplethings." Mary Wells' "My Guy" isn't about how he couldn't be your guy.
Anyway, Girls Volume 2: All Adventurous Women Do arrives on February 11. Along with Miguel, we've previously heard Beck's "Blue Moon," Cat Power's "Free (Gigamesh Remix)," Jenny Lewis'"Completely Not Me," and Lizzo's "Paris." Listen to "L8 CMMR" below (via Rolling Stone).

Spending was strong since the start of the holiday shopping season in November and the momentum continued through Christmas Eve, a surprising sign of strength for the economy. Consumer spending accounts for about 70 percent of U.S. economic activity.
People spent more even as they held on to frugal habits learned during the Great Recession, from focusing on big bargains to paying with cash. That conservative shopping mentality was clear as shoppers rummaged through clearance bins at stores and malls this week.
"I don't want to go any deeper into debt," said Dana Hall, 36, who arrived at Atlantic Station, a downtown shopping complex in Atlanta, on Sunday while killing time before picking up a passenger at the city's airport. Hall said he had kept his job throughout the recession, but the economic troubles turned him into a cash-only shopper.
Stores headed into the season with angst that they would have too much inventory. That's because they placed most of their orders in the spring when the economic recovery looked stronger than it seemed later in the year.
But stores struck the right notes to get careful holiday shoppers to buy more. They rolled out discounts starting in late October to cater to shoppers who wanted to stretch out their buying.
Merchants called it right in anticipating that gift givers would scrimp less and buy nicer, more traditional presents, like sweaters rather than pots and pans and other utilitarian gifts that were popular the last two years.
Free shipping was practically a given for online sales, which rose 15.4 percent, according to SpendingPulse. Stores stayed open later and some pulled all-nighters.

Fried Turkey

- Once turkey is cooked removed to a paper-towel lined cooking sheet with a rack on it, let turkey drain and rest for at least 20 minutes. Internal temperature will rise to 170 degrees F. Remove frying truss, carve, and serve.

Zuhair Murad's gowns have been inescapable on the red carpet since Miley Cyrus wore one to the 2009 Oscars. Yesterday, he showed his new fall collection at couture week. WWD may have called it "tacky," but his unapologetically lavish aesthetic is clearly working for some of the most famous women in the world today (prices for couture start at $5,000, so it ain't cheap). Murad, whose business now employs more than 170 people, routinely dresses everyone from Beyoncé to Blake Lively to Jennifer Lopez, to oohs and aahs from their — and his — adoring fans.

Comprehension: Teach students to construct meaning from print.
Reading Recovery students are taught that what they read must make sense. Instruction helps students develop a variety of strategies directed toward helping children search for meaning as they read. In fact, the Reading Recovery teacher assures that children never lose meaning by careful text selection, careful introduction, and conversation about the story. These strategies (called a self-extending system) include helping children
- monitor their own reading and writing;
- search for cues in word sequences, in meaning, and in letter sequences;
- discover new things for themselves;
- repeat as if to confirm the reading or writing so far;
- self-correct, taking the initiative for making cues match or getting words right; and
- solve new words by using all the above strategies.
Balanced, Structured Approach: Provide a balanced approach so that literacy develops along a broad front and students can apply skills in reading and writing.
Reading Recovery consists of an interrelated set of learning experiences. Teachers intentionally work to be sure that students make connections across components of the lesson framework. A key concept in Reading Recovery is that "every new thing learned should be revisited in several other activities." A lesson consists of a variety of activities including reading and comprehending both familiar and new texts, writing a message of importance to the child, phonemic awareness, letter-sound correspondence, basic sight words, fluency, and teaching for strategic processing. It is this balance of activities, providing the opportunity to use skills in many ways, that allows for acceleration.
Early Intervention: Intervene early to undercut reading failure.
Reading Recovery is a short-term (12 to 20 weeks) safety net intervention. Children are entered into Reading Recovery at a critical time in their school careers (age six or during first grade). Reading Recovery helps children make accelerated progress and catch up with their first-grade peers. The program also helps students continue to progress with good, ongoing classroom teaching. It is a supplementary opportunity and is not intended to replace classroom instruction.
Individual Tutoring: Provide one-to-one assistance for the students who are having the most difficulty.
Reading Recovery is defined as one-to-one tutoring. It is not a classroom program; it is not a small group program. Quite simply, if the instruction is not one-to-one, it is not Reading Recovery.

The other, heaving to, is a configuration in order that the boat can be left to sail itself by backing the jib and easing the main so the sailor can do other jobs. If you back the jib and ease the main in storm conditions very good luck to you. Just for further the confusion "bijdraaien' , in dutch is how the sails where traditionally set in good weather so the boat could be left to steer itself and bijleggen is what the dutch sailors did in storm conditions to keep the ship rolling over the waves at a angle.
I'm not familiar with the difference you mention (although I'm always happy to be re-educated). My perspective is that heaving to is the act of doing it, and hove to is the post-execution state. Heaving to, or being hove-to, is used to 'park' the boat (such as it can be with minimal forward or leeward progress) both during normal conditions (to take a break and/or reef a sail) and/or during heavier weather (to take a break and or calm the wave action).

(LONDON) -- A man campaigning for the right to be naked was thrown out of court Monday after he appeared before magistrates sporting only his bushy beard and a backpack. Vincent Bethell, a 28-year-old naturist, was due to face charges of disorderly behavior after being arrested for walking naked through London on Sunday. Judge Terence English ordered Bethell to get dressed and reappear on Sept. 4, ``hopefully with your clothes on because the courts will not deal with you if you go through this nonsensical charade.'' Bethell has vowed not to put his clothes back on until British law is changed to allow public nudity. He faces a fine of up to $1,500 for his naked walk in the upscale Kensington neighborhood. Bethell, who recently collected his unemployment benefit with no clothes on, is well known to police. He has carried out more than 15 naked protests, including stripping off outside Scotland Yard police headquarters in London and perching naked on top of a lamppost outside the Royal Courts of Justice in London for two hours. He remained unrepentant. ``Being human is not a crime - people should not be punished,'' he said as he left court. ``I'm remaining naked until it's legalized, but after me walking around for a few weeks it may be considered acceptable. I'm doing everything naked.''

Deedee Corradini
Deedee Corradini | |
32nd Mayor of Salt Lake City | |
In office 1992 – January 3, 2000 |
Preceded by | Palmer DePaulis |
Succeeded by | Rocky Anderson |
Personal details | |
Born | Deedee McMullen April 11, 1944 Providence, Rhode Island, U.S. |
Died | March 1, 2015 Salt Lake City, Utah, U.S. |
(aged 70)
Political party | Democratic |
Profession | Businesswoman and politician |
Deedee McMullen Corradini (April 11, 1944 – March 1, 2015) was an American businesswoman and politician. She served as the 32nd mayor of Salt Lake City, Utah from 1992 to 2000. She was the first and only woman to serve as mayor of Salt Lake City.[1]
Corradini, at the time of her death Senior Vice President for Prudential Utah Real Estate, was also the President of Women's Ski Jumping-USA. She was on the WSJ-USA board, and served as president for three years, taking a lead role in the battle to get women's ski jumping into the Olympic Winter Games.
Life and career[edit]
Carradini was born Deedee McMullen in Providence, Rhode Island, the daughter of Marie-Louise (Strehlau) and the Rev. Horace "Mac" Martin McMullen.[2] Corradini attended school in Lebanon and Syria for 11 years as a child. She received a Bachelor of Arts from Drew University in 1965, and a Masters degree in Psychology from the University of Utah. She served as Press Secretary to Congressman Wayne Owens of Utah and then Rep. Richard Ottinger of New York in the early 1970s.
Although Utah leans strongly toward the Republican party, Corradini was a Democrat. This is not unusual for Salt Lake City, which tends to vote Democratic far more than other regions of Utah.
Corradini's efforts gave Utah the initial shove that landed the state the 2002 Winter Olympics. Corradini was the first woman to receive the Olympic flag, in front of a television audience of hundreds of millions of viewers, when it was passed to Salt Lake City at the 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano, Japan at the closing ceremonies.
Under Corradini's watch, the city's population experienced a tremendous growth spurt, as the metropolitan area of Salt Lake City and the rest of the state began to grow by thousands of families a month.[citation needed]
But she also endured scrutiny for soliciting some $231,000 in cash gifts and loans to pay off $805,000 for her part in the failure of Bonneville Pacific, a publicly traded alternative energy corporation that went bankrupt on inflated financials in 1991. Though she never faced criminal charges, investigations dogged Corradini's administration, which never recovered from the Winter Olympics bribery scandal. In January 1999, she announced she would not seek reelection the following year amid calls for her resignation by the Salt Lake City Council.
The ACLU and the First Unitarian Church of Salt Lake City, among others (including her successor Rocky Anderson), were upset with a deal she negotiated on behalf of the city to sell a block of Main Street — then city property — adjacent to Temple Square to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church).[3] However, the conversion of this block into a church plaza was one of the 14 major projects put forth by the city in its 1962 Second Century Plan.[4][5][6] The 1962 plan stated: "It is proposed that Main Street between the two church blocks either be closed to vehicular traffic or an underpass installed. This would strongly unify these two blocks as a visual anchor on the north end."[6] Some accused the Mayor of pushing the sale in exchange for the LDS Church's support of the Olympic Games,[citation needed] as the leadership of the church was initially divided over whether the city should host the games.[7]
During her tenure, Corradini pushed hard (and ultimately successfully) for the relocation of the Union Pacific railroad tracks that divided downtown, pushed through the TRAX light-rail system, and won massive federal funding for reconstruction of the freeway system in advance of the Olympic Games (one of the largest single public works transit projects in recent American history). She also was the guiding force for the construction of the popular baseball stadium for the (then) AAA Salt Lake Buzz, at the time, the farm team for the Minnesota Twins), the redevelopment of a 50 year old railyard into the 30 acre (121,000 m²), $375 million Gateway District mixed-use development, resulting in two million square feet (186,000 m²) of shops, restaurants, office space, and housing, as well as a 12 screen movie theatre a planetarium as well as plans for a children's museum.
Corradini served as the President of the U.S. Conference of Mayors in 1998. She was also President of the International Women's Forum, Chair of the Utah Symphony Board of Directors, of which she was a Lifetime Board Member.
Corradini died from lung cancer on March 1, 2015 at the age of 70.[8]
