Howe admits future doubt
13 Mar 2009 - 15:58:21
Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe has conceded there is uncertainty surrounding his future as manager.
Howe has admitted his concern following the resignation of chief executive Alastair Saverimutto this week and the club's continuing takeover talks.
The 31-year-old former Cherries defender was handed the managerial reins by Saverimutto in January.
"Whoever comes in will have their own ideas," he conceded.
"If that includes me then great. If not then so be it.
"I can't let it worry me, but new people coming in can mean a change of boss. It's happened at this club this season.
"All I can concentrate on is getting results and let everything take care of itself."

Steady-state ab initio laser theory for N-level lasers |
Optics Express, Vol. 20, Issue 1, pp. 474-488 (2012)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (1049 KB)
We show that Steady-state Ab initio Laser Theory (SALT) can be applied to find the stationary multimode lasing properties of an N-level laser. This is achieved by mapping the N-level rate equations to an effective two-level model of the type solved by the SALT algorithm. This mapping yields excellent agreement with more computationally demanding N-level time domain solutions for the steady state.

Ethics Commission does Texans a huge disservice
Panel's ruling that state officials need not report the value of monetary gifts they receive from their supporters is a travesty.
Consider this hypothetical case. You're a state official. Someone who expects favorable action on a matter under your control gives you a check - say, for $100,000 or even $200,000. Do you have to disclose it?
Incredibly, the Texas Ethics Commission ruled in April that all you must do is report that you received a check as a gift, without revealing the amount. Editorial writers reacted quickly, saying the ruling opened the door to greater graft and corruption in Texas, creating a loophole for officials to accept large amounts of cash.
Behind this decision was a real case. Bill Ceverha, a member of the State Employees Retirement System, got a check from Republican contributor Bob Perry. Texas law requires officials to file financial disclosure statements, including a description of gifts in excess of $250.
Ceverha disclosed he received a check without specifying the amount. Through newspaper interviews, it was revealed that he received two checks from Perry, each for $50,000, to defray legal expenses; he was treasurer of a political action committee, Texans for Republican Majority, which was under investigation. It was also reported that Bob Perry had no interest in the Texas State Retirement System, which oversees a $20 billion system, that no quid pro quo was involved.
That may all be true, but the ruling by the Ethics Commission has far greater implications than this one case.
On Monday, the Ethics Commission had a chance to undo the original mistake, but it reaffirmed its earlier ruling. The commission voted 5-3 to approve a staff advisory opinion that describing such a gift as a "check" is enough; no amount need be disclosed.
Back in April, Tom "Smitty" Smith, director of the Austin office of Public Citizen, said the ruling was outrageous. It opens a huge loophole that would allow a Texas politician to accept a check for, say, $1 million as a gift and then simply disclose that he or she received a "check."
The Texas Ethics Commission just made a gift to corrupt politicians. Allowing monetary gifts of more than $250 to be listed as a generic "check" or "cash" makes a mockery of the commission's assignment to deal with problems of corruption to help restore public confidence in the integrity of state government. The Ethics Commission has somehow misinterpreted its mission; it is not supposed to be providing greater access to graft and corruption and less public accountability. This ruling screams out for a legislative remedy, which should come in the next session.

The International Data Corporation (IDC), which is a market research organization, has recently organized the top five selling mobile phones for the first quarter of year.
As expected, the first position has been taken by Nokia, proving that it is still the top leader in the mobile phone market. Next two positions have been occupied by Samsung and LG, while RIM, the makers of Blackberry, has replaced Motorola to come together with Sony Ericsson in the fourth position. Surprisingly, Motorola and the Apple iPhone did not make it to the list.
Earlier last year, Motorola held the number two position and by the end of last year, it had come on five but is now out of the list. RIM has entered into the top five due to the increasing demand for its Blackberry in the global market. RIM has shipped about 10.6 million units of mobile phones in the first quarter of the year.
However, the much popular iPhone from Apple didn't make the list, although it is officially recognized as the highest selling phone in U.S with 8.8 million units sold in first quarter of 2010 as compared to Motorola which sold 8.5 million units. Moreover, there was no sign of Google's Nexus One which was so hyped about in the last quarter of 2009.
Figures show that the overall global phone market has grown 21.7 per cent in first quarter of 2010, showing good signs for the phone market for the rest of the year, as compared to the market reduction in first quarter of 2009. The smartphone has been held responsible for the increase in the market growth.
According to reports, a total of 294.9 million units of mobile phones were shipped in the first quarter of 2010 as compared to 242.4 million units that were sold in first quarter of 2009.
Nowadays, there is a great change in thoughts of business owners. Well, business credit cards are the only reason. Actually business credit card has replaced the old method of small business lending, since the previous method didn't satisfied people enough. Everyone is interested in business or credit cards to provide them financial support. One of the reasons that cause this sudden change is availability of business credit card, provided, you are making all your payments regularly and your credit score is adequate. It is a fact that availability of a business credit card becomes much easier if you are applicant of same company where you also have a personal account.
Three Things You Should Focus on:
Before selection of credit card, three things should be focused.
1. Interest rates Policies:
One of the most important facts is to compare the interest rate policies offered by different sources. You should make a lot of effort to choose the most appropriate option.
2. Annual fees:
Mostly customers with good credit are charged an annual fee and also given some rewards. Before taking any decision, you should do a proper research on this factor.
3. Rewards Offered By Issuing Companies:
Most of the business cards offer some exciting rewards. Every issuing company has its own schedules for rewarding and they are quite helpful for their customers. So you should also pay attention to this factor while taking any decision.
Credit Card Accountability Responsibility & Disclosure Act:
At the end, there is something good in addition for all those having personal credit cards. If all your financial records are up to the mark, you will be very glad to listen about the new law called Credit Card Accountability Responsibility & Disclosure Act which is passed this month. This law will provide a lot of security and protection to all consumers by discouraging all deceptive practices by credit-card issuers and unfair fees charged on the cards. This law is only applicable on personal credit cards and not business credit cards.

Alvarenga, who said he was lost at sea for 13 months, returned to a hospital Thursday to be intravenously fed, said Christian Clay-Mendoza, a top Mexican trade official. "Doctors say he's severely dehydrated and low on vitamins and minerals," he said. Alvarenga, an El Salvadoran who had been living in Mexico, washed ashore on the Marshall Islands eight days ago. Earlier this week, his condition improved enough that he was released from a hospital. Doctors said Alvarenga's limbs have started to swell, and they can't seem to keep him hydrated.

Bewildered by all the cameras, he thanked the government and people of the Marshall Islands for their care and friendship. After his minute-long remark, officials whisked him back to the hospital. Plans for his repatriation to El Salvador on Friday have now been postponed due to his health. Official: His story 'is probable'Alvarenga's claims have garnered widespread skepticism about how he could survive for 13 months adrift on the Pacific. But from what officials can tell, they have no reason to doubt him. "The investigations into Mr. Alvarenga's story so far have been substantiated," said Phillip Muller, the Marshall Islands' foreign affairs minister.Clay-Mendoza said Alvarenga was an undocumented worker in Mexico. But "what he has said to us about his identity, so far, has been true.""We've had contact with his family in El Salvador, and they have corroborated his story," the Mexican official said. "Now we are trying to contact his boss at the fishing co-op he belonged to in Mexico, but so far everything he's told us has jibed. The main question now is how long was he at sea?" Clay-Mendoza said "it's probable" Alvarenga really did get lost at sea starting in December 2012. He said the boat was reported missing in 2012.If Alvarenga's story proves true, the trip across the Pacific would have taken him across roughly 6,600 miles (10,800 kilometers) of open ocean before ending in the Marshall Islands, about halfway between Hawaii and Australia, in the northern Pacific.Officials: 'We gave up' trying to figure out how long castaway was adrift in PacificThe other man Alvarenga says he set off on a fishing trip from the port of Paredon Viejo, Mexico, near the southern coastal city of Tonala. He said he and another man intended to spend a day trying to catch sharks, but they were blown off course by winds and then got caught in a storm, eventually losing use of their engines.Bellarmino Rodriguez Beyz, the owner of Alvarenga's boat in Mexico, identified the fishing partner as 23-year-old Ezequiel Córdova.Alvarenga said that four weeks into their drift, his companion died of starvation because he refused to eat raw birds and turtles. Eventually, he threw the body overboard. "What else could I do?" Alvarenga said. Living on faith and fishA grieving family Back in the Mexican village of El Fortin, Córdova's family is inconsolable. More than a year after the young man went missing, his mother is grieving his death. "The pain is so great, I can't explain it," Córdova's mother said. "Losing a child is the hardest thing to bear in life." Córdova's brother said the 23-year-old took care of his family -- and that's why he became a fisherman, in hopes of earning a better livelihood. "My brother was kind, he was responsible for my mother," he said. "In fact, he worked in the sea because of her. He wanted to improve himself. He didn't want to be poor, like us." The fishing cooperative that Córdova and Alvarenga belonged to has about 45 boats, Rodriguez said. The fishermen make about $150 a week. But the waters near Paredon Viejo are notorious for the dangerous winds that can blow fishermen away. Now that Córdova's mother knows her son is dead, she wants answers. "As a mother, I demand the authorities allow me to talk to the survivor," she said. "Only in that way will I know what happened, and what he did with the body of my son. I deserve to know the truth. " Meanwhile, Córdova's bedroom, scant with just a blanket as a headboard, remains untouched.Just the way he left it more than a year ago.

A MySQL server may leak information to unauthorized users.
2. Impact Information
MySQL is a popular multi-threaded, multi-user SQL database server.
The processing of the COM_TABLE_DUMP command by a MySQL server fails to properly validate packets that arrive from the client via a network socket.
By crafting specific malicious packets an attacker could gather confidential information from the memory of a MySQL server process, for example results of queries by other users or applications. By using PHP code injection or similar techniques it would be possible to exploit this flaw through web applications that use MySQL as a database backend.
Note that on 5.x versions it is possible to overwrite the stack and execute arbitrary code with this technique. Users of MySQL 5.x are urged to upgrade to the latest available version.
3. Resolution Information
There is no known workaround at this time.
All MySQL users should upgrade to the latest version.

The Municipal council has urged the State government to transfer a piece of land under the maintenance of the Revenue Department of Thanjavur district to the municipality for executing its solid waste management programme.
A proposal tabled at the council's monthly meeting held here on Wednesday, said that the municipality needed about eight acres of land for setting up a yard for dumping solid waste and for a compost yard.
Pointing out that the population of the town was on the rise, the resolution said that at least 8 acres of land would be required for the long-term implementation of the solid waste management programme. P. Mariappan, Municipal Chairman, who presided over the meeting, said that solid waste management was a people-oriented and pollution-free programme. The Revenue Department of Thanjavur district possessed a sprawling site called Chathiram in Aranthangi town. The site was being used only for organising the weekly shandy on Tuesday.
Mr.Mariappan said that the State government should hand over the site to the municipality for implementation of the solid waste management programme. The council adopted the resolution.
The meeting also adopted another resolution urging the Tamil Nadu Water Supply and Drainage Board to evolve the financial commitment for the Aranthangi municipality for maintenance of the combined drinking water scheme.
The chairman said that the board had already taken up trial supply of drinking water under the scheme executed at an estimate of Rs.3.40 crore. Since the scheme benefited 706 habitations in the entire district, including parts of the Aranthangi town, the Board should specify the maintenance funds to be incurred by the municipality.
Earlier the councillors wanted civic amenities in their wards. L. Muralidaran wanted allotment of municipal shops for the disabled and widows. P. Amirthavalli wanted roads . R. Sarojadevi, another councillor, wanted inauguration of child welfare unit building.

Licenses and Copyright
How often do you see on Usenet a sentence like "DISCLAIMER: I am not a lawyer, and I am not qualified to give legal advice ?" Perhaps one day tort reform will be passed and non-lawyers won't have to make a disclaimer like this in order to avoid being sued. Until then, I need to make the same disclaimer: I am not a lawyer. I don't even play one on T.V. What you read here is my interpretation of these licenses, and while I have done my best not to err, to err is human. Before betting your life, your fortune, or your sacred honor on my interpretation you should read them yourselves, come to your own understanding of them, and if you are not comfortable ask a lawyer.
The first thing you need to understand is the difference between copyright and license. A copyright safeguards the ownership of an intellectual property. If you hold copyright to some intellectual property, you have several rights regarding that property, and you can assign (sell or give) some or all of those rights to others. A License, on the other hand, is a document lets someone use your intellectual property.
For example, the GNU General Public License (GPL), which is often incorrectly called a "copyright," is a license. Applying the GPL to code to which you own the copyright does not assign the copyright to the Free Software Foundation (FSF, the authors of the GPL). You still own the copyright—applying the GPL to your code merely lets other people modify and redistribute your code in accordance with the GPL's terms. The GPL is too long to include in this article; you can use FTP to retrieve a copy from the canonical site, prep.ai.mit.edu, in the /pub/gnu directory.
The GPL is one of the most popular licenses in the Linux world; the MIT X and BSD licenses are also popular. The MIT license is very permissive: it says (like all software licenses of which I am aware) that no warranty is provided, that the copyright notices must be maintained, and that MIT's name (or with similar licenses, the name of the copyright holder) cannot be used in advertising or publicity without written permission. The BSD license, by contrast, requires that all advertising materials display an acknowledgment of "the University of California, Berkeley and its contributors," while prohibiting using either name as an endorsement. In other respects, it is much like the MIT license. If you can't figure out how to acknowledge MIT and BSD without using them, talk to a lawyer. The MIT and BSD licenses are short enough to reprint in this article—see the sidebars.
Let's say you wish to develop free software derived from software that is licensed under the terms of any one of these agreements. All you have to do is maintain the current copyrights and insert your copyright notice for the code you add, thereby licensing your additions under the same license as the rest of the code.
However, if you wish to develop commercial software derived from free software, there are thornier issues. The MIT and BSD licenses do not require you to release your source code. You must simply follow the terms of the license, which mostly have to do with maintaining copyright notices and following limitations about advertising and promotion. If the original software is licensed under the GPL, however, you must release your source code in compliance with the GPL in order for you to distribute the derived work.
The biggest single concern shared by software developers new to Linux is that because Linux is subject to the GPL, any software written or compiled under Linux is also subject to the GPL. Fortunately, this concern is groundless. Plenty of commercial software is available for Linux, and it does not violate the GPL in any way. Developing and compiling your software on a Linux system does not cause your software to be derived from the GPL-licensed Linux source code.
Some people assume that because they use #include to include system header files in their application, their application is suddenly considered to be "derived from" those header files. This is not the case; the declarations in header files are legally considered "public interfaces" and cannot be copyrighted. This is the same as any other development platform: the header files on every commercial platform sport copyright notices that assert ownership over the header files, but that doesn't mean your application was derived from those header files.
Some people also assume that if they compile their program with the GNU C compiler (gcc), their program must be licensed under the terms of the GPL. This is not true. The GPL states that "the output from the Program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Program (independent of having been made by running the Program)." Many commercial software vendors compile their products exclusively with GCC; some Unix systems are shipped from the vendor with GCC as the standard system compiler. They are not in violation of the GPL.
You do need to be careful, however, when linking with libraries that are licensed under a slightly relaxed version of the GPL called the GNU Library General Public License, or LGPL. Linux's standard C library, and most of its other libraries, are licensed under these terms, which require you (read the license for further details) to do one of the following:
Link dynamically.
Provide object files that can be linked to static libraries.
Provide source code.
The second option isn't very easy to implement, and the third option, while great for freely redistributable software, is less than ideal for more restricted commercial software vendors. The right answer for everyone, whether the software is free or not, is to link dynamically. This provides several advantages:
Your program uses less system memory when running.
Allows your program to be upgraded automatically when bugs are found in the library.
Creates smaller binaries.
Since dynamic linking is the default on all normal Unix platforms, using it on Linux platforms is not likely to be a hardship.
Note that this restriction applies only to libraries licensed under the LGPL. Commercial libraries such as the Motif libraries are not affected by this condition, nor are libraries that are licensed under the BSD or MIT terms. Since there is rarely any reason to link statically, you can almost always ignore this issue. You need only worry about it if you want to distribute a program that is staticly linked against an LGPL-licensed library and you do not wish to distribute the source code.
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Ohio has put the welcome mat out for charter schools that provide career technical education. Building on criteria from the federal Carl D. Perkins Act Ohio's biennial budget (HB59) provides a significant increase in funding for charter schools that provide career technical courses. Table 1, is based on the "Estimated Formula Aid for Community (aka charters) Schools" released by the Senate earlier this month. It shows some of the big winners under the plan.
Table 1: Bumps in Career Technical Funding for Selected Ohio Charter Schools (FY2014 and 2015)
Source: All numbers come from "Comparison of Estimated Formula Aid for Community Schools Under H.B. 59, As Reported by Senate Finance and Actual Aid Under Current Law, FY2012
It is not just charters that benefit from this new emphasis on Career Technical education. The state's Joint Vocational Education Centers, STEM Schools, and district high schools with career technical programs will see increases in funding comparable to the charters if they meet the Career Technical requirements for Perkins and the Ohio Department of Education.
This increased support for career technical education is not without controversy, especially when it comes to the charters gaining from these new dollars. For example, some of the state's highest performing charters are likely to see a reduction in state aid, while those charters deemed providers of technical education will see state funding increases of 10, 15 or even 20 percent. Also controversial is the fact that some...
Ohio's cities are rife with people pushing forward education reforms. As education leaders look outwards to new ways to improve education they are also beginning to turn inwards to see what components of the "education machine" are failing the system. In the wake of a very public data scandal, Columbus mayor Michael B. Coleman spurred the creation of the Columbus Education Commission to hold discussions on how to improve the governance of Columbus City Schools and increase the supply of high-quality schools. Amid the discussions, the Commission brought in experts to discuss alternative forms of school leadership which would involve the mayor's office appointing people to the board or having a hybrid elected and appointed board.
While complete mayoral control of the school board is not likely to come to Columbus, the discussion did open an important policy discussion— what are the impediments to the current structure of school boards in Ohio and how can we work to improve them? In a scathing review of local governance structure in the United States, the president of the National Center on Education and the Economy Marc Tucker states that "it is our system of local control that, more than any other feature of our education system, stands between us and the prospect of matching the performance of the countries with the most successful education systems."
School boards are a part of the issue in Ohio and elsewhere in the nation, and it is systemic problems that do not allow them...
The Cleveland Metropolitan School District (CMSD) school board will vote tomorrow night to approve the hiring of up to nine Teach For America (TFA) members. These new hires will begin teaching in fall 2013, and will be the first year in which TFA teachers are placed in CMSD classrooms. During the past school year, fifty TFA teachers were placed in Cleveland-area charter schools and another 34 TFA teachers taught in the Dayton and Cincinnati areas. The past school year, 2012-13, was the first year TFA operated in Ohio.
This is more encouraging reform news for Cleveland, whose school system has and continues to struggle mightily. Within the past month, the Cleveland Teachers Union and the Board of Education agreed to a new teachers' contract that, most significantly, stripped away the seniority- and college-credit-based salary schedule and replaced it with a "differentiated compensation" system that awards salary bumps mostly based on how a teacher performs on the state's new teacher evaluation rating system. This change was required as part of Ohio's recently-enacted law, House Bill 525 (cf., Ohio Revised Code section 3311.78).
The new contract also changes lay-off rules so that performance is now the dominant criteria, rather than seniority, and also calls for 40 minutes of additional instructional time. Cleveland's teachers will also receive a 4 percent raise in the first year of the contract and a $1,500 bonus when they enter the new compensation system.
Finally, a new 15-mill levy, passed last November, will inject roughly $85 million into the...
By July 1st, Ohio law will require public school districts (charter and district) to establish a teacher evaluation policy. The evaluation policy must conform to a framework that depends half on student growth on test scores and half on classroom observations.[1] Based on these measures, teachers will earn an overall rating: accomplished, proficient, developing, or ineffective.
In our recent survey of superintendents, Ohio's teacher evaluation policy received mixed reviews. Nearly three out of four (73 percent) said that teacher evaluations would become accepted practice five years hence. And, 42 percent said that teacher evaluations would lead to "fundamental improvement" in the state's K-12 school system. So, there's modest optimism toward teacher evaluation.
But there's undeniable angst about the policy details. Nearly all superintendents (93 percent) think that there will be lawsuits when personnel decisions are based on Ohio's evaluation framework. And nearly all (86 percent) think that the classroom observation mandate will "put too much pressure on principals." One superintendent said
"It will over-tax the principals and render them useless. They will need to spend so much time on evaluations, they will not have time for anything else."
When one looks at the Ohio Department of Education's website, one can see from whence this sentiment emerges. For example, the "teacher evaluation resource packet," which operationalizes the classroom observation portion of the policy, clocks in at 22 pages. By simple extrapolation, this suggests a small mountain of paperwork for a principal who supervises 20 teachers.
Is there...
It's no secret that Dayton's economy has taken its lumps and presently limps along. The chart below reveals this all the more clearly, by looking at per capita income trends--one indicator of economic health--for Dayton and four other Ohio metro areas.
Chart: Widening income gap between Dayton and other Ohio areas – Per capita income by metropolitan statistical area, 1995 to 2011
SOURCE: Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland NOTE: The percent differences, author's calculation, compare Dayton and Cleveland's incomes and are shown relative Dayton's income for 1995, 2000, 2005, and 2011 (the last year of available data).
It's striking to see that in 1995, Dayton's per capita income was roughly on par with Akron, Cincinnati, and Columbus. (Cleveland is noticeably ahead of this group in 1995.) But during the late 1990s and early 2000s, a growing gap begins to emerge as Columbus and Cincinnati race ahead, even catching up to Cleveland's per capita income level. Meanwhile, Dayton grows at a snail's pace in comparison. As a result, the gap between Dayton and its peer cities develops into a small chasm, so much so that by 2011, Dayton's per capita income was some $3,000 below Akron, Columbus, and Cincinnati, and $5,000—or 13 percent—below Cleveland.
Terry's blog post earlier this week spotlighted the bold, citywide education reforms in Cincinnati, Cleveland, and Columbus. One city was conspicuously absent: Fordham's hometown of Dayton. Its absence doesn't portend well for the...
While there are still a couple of steps to go before it is law (everybody sing along), Ohio's next biennial budget was voted out of the Senate Finance committee yesterday and heads now to the full Senate with nearly 1000 pages of amendments.
One of these amendments addresses an important provision which has not received much media attention, added in the House version of the budget: a change to the way students are counted in traditional and joint vocational school (JVS) districts. By now we have all heard from the Ohio Auditor of State about "count week" – that magical five days every October where districts pull out all the stops (Spirit Day! Pizza Day! Pajama Day!) to get as many of their kids as possible to show up to school…in order to maximize the money the state provides to districts based on average daily membership, or ADM. Doesn't matter how many kids are there in November or March or May, districts receive the same amount of money throughout the year whether there are more or less students in the school than in "count week."
The House version of the 2014-15 biennial budget calls for traditional and JVS districts to certify ADM during the first full school week of each month, and to receive funding based on those rolling counts. By calculating ADM in this way, it is almost certain that school attendance on a random day in March will generally be very different than on Spirit-Pizza-Pajama-Baby-Animal-Day in...
Last week I began my long awaited journey as a 2013 Teach for America Corp member in Southwest Ohio (SWO). Fellow corps members from all over the state, country, and even world convened in Cincinnati for a weeklong induction. The week served as an introduction into the region where we will be working for the next two years, as well as time for us to get to know each other and the motivation behind our reasons for wanting to join TFA.
We spent the week focusing on two major themes: heart and getting started. Heart: Who are the people we are working with, what are we trying to accomplish, and why does this work matter to us and to others? Over the course of five days we dove head first into the history of Cincinnati, Dayton, and Covington, discovering the people that make up these great cities and the unique challenges associated with each of them. The experiences ranged from visiting the Freedom Center to learn about the racial inequalities that have plagued Cincinnati for many years, as well as eating dinner in the home of a single-parent mother and hearing from her first hand what is important to her as a parent in Covington, KY. We also visited high-performing charter schools such as the Dayton Early College Academy (DECA), hearing from their leaders, students, and teachers that the stale status quo of under achievement in a city can be just that and that there are ways to reach above...
This week I am joining members of CEE-Trust for a conversation on some of the nation's most promising city-based school reform efforts. CEE-Trust is a coalition of 33 reform organizations like MindTrust in Indianapolis, Mayor Karl Dean in Nashville, Charter School Partners in Minneapolis, New Schools for New Orleans, and the Rogers Family Foundation in Oakland. Fordham is a founding member, and this is one of my absolutely favorite groups to spend time with because the people involved are leading implementers and practitioners of school reform. They are all doers.
In years past I always left the CEE-Trust meetings wishing more were happening in Ohio's cities. But, this year is different. Ohio's big cities are rapidly becoming leaders in school reform. In fact, I'd argue there is no state with three major cities doing more than what is happening in Cleveland, Columbus and Cincinnati. Consider the following.
Cleveland: In early 2012 Mayor Frank Jackson (who appoints the school board) unveiled his "Plan for Transforming Schools." The Jackson Plan required changes to state law and in July 2012 Governor Kasich signed House Bill 525, which gave the Cleveland Metropolitan School District and its superintendent Eric Gordon new flexibilities to deal with the city's long-suffering schools. Key elements of the plan included:
The number of high school graduates from Ohio's charter schools has risen sharply in the past decade. In spring 2002, only 580 students graduated from a charter; in spring 2011 (the last year of available graduation data), 6,301 students graduated from a charter, only slightly below of graduates of Cincinnati, Cleveland, and Columbus school districts combined.
Where do charter school grads go upon graduation? Not likely to college. Only around 1 in 10 charter school graduates head directly into an Ohio public university or college (two- or four-year), according to the Ohio Board of Regents. Note: The Regents' data do not account for high school graduates who attend an out-of-state, private, or for-profit college—thus, underreporting the number of college-bound grads.
For graduates of e-school charters, a measly 9 percent made the plunge into college, while for graduates of brick-and-mortar charters, it's 11 percent. There is, however, considerable variation across the charters. As might be expected, Ohio's few high-performing high school charters had a higher percentage of grads go off to college. For example, 48 percent of Dayton Early College Academy's (DECA) and 50 percent of Toledo School for the Arts' graduates enrolled directly into an Ohio college. On the flip side, only 8 percent of ECOT (the state's largest e-school) graduates went to an Ohio college immediately after graduation, and 50 out of 115 charters had zero students.
The chart below shows that, compared to traditional districts, charter schools lag considerably behind in sending graduates directly into college. On average,...
Like a rose in an unkempt garden, Menlo Park Academy stands out among Ohio's hodgepodge of charter schools. First and foremost, Menlo excels academically—it was one of 30 charters in Ohio that earned an "Excellent" (A) or above state academic rating in 2011-12. (This, out of 302 rated charter schools.) Second, Menlo, which enrolls 300 or so students, is a regional school, drawing K-8 students from 40 school districts in and beyond the Cleveland metro area. And, Menlo is Ohio's only charter school dedicated to educating gifted students.
Menlo's uniqueness, together with Fordham's long-standing interest in gifted and talented students, quickly attracted our attention. We've visited the school on two occasions, once with Fordham's president Checker Finn. During these visits we learned much from Menlo's leaders, teachers, parents and students about how the school has grown, as well as its current and future challenges. These discussions whetted our appetite to dig deeper—to learn more about Menlo's story, its people, and how it goes about educating gifted students. We asked Ellen Belcher, an award-winning journalist formerly of the Dayton Daily News, to report the Menlo Park story and what she uncovered made us even more excited about the work of Menlo. It also made us wonder why there aren't more charter schools in Ohio committed to serving the needs of the state's gifted and talented students.
Ohio law permits gifted-focused charter schools such as Menlo. Under Ohio Revised Code (ORC) §3314.06, charter schools can adopt a policy that...

Chris Brown, Lady Gaga Nominated for Worst Acting at 2014 Razzies
For 'Battle of the Year' and 'Machete Kills,' respectively
If the music world is enjoying better representation than usual among the 2014 Academy Awards nominations, then that must mean it's time for some pop stars to get razzed by the Razzies. And sure enough, the 34th annual Raspberry Awards —which, um, "honor" the year's worst cinema — have a couple of familiar names on their list of nominees. Chris Brown is up for Worst Supporting Actor for his work in Battle of the Year, while Lady Gaga is up for Worst Supporting Actress for her performance in Machete Kills.
Brown, a perennial SPIN Hall of Shame inductee, had a rough 2013 that went beyond his time as a thespian — and went beyond music, really. Most recently, Brown turned down a plea deal in a Washington, D.C., assault case that already cost him his probation. As for Gaga, her ARTPOP debuted at No. 1 and she's about to go on what's sure to be a huge-grossing tour, though album sales have fallen compared with previous efforts.
It's hard to say whether Brown and Gaga are in good company or bad, exactly. Rihanna won last year's Worst Supporting Actress award for her role in Battleship, and you know, she's Rihanna. But 2013 nominees for Worst Supporting Actor included such musical geniuses as Vanilla Ice and David Hasselhoff. In the end, Breezy and Mother Monster probably shouldn't worry too much: Adam Sandler usually tends to win the big awards at these things, anyway.

Less Cardio, Less Fat, More Muscle
Posted By Guest On August 27, 2009 @ 4:00 pm In Success Stories | 14 Comments
I've been a distance runner who fights my weight for the past 24+ years. I started running to lose weight in 1985, when I weighed 180. Right now, I'm in the mid-190s. Funny how that worked (not).
Two-plus years ago, I started lifting, which helped with fat loss. Some of the time. As long as I was very careful about what I ate.
In the past few weeks, I think I may have finally found the answer. I've made a number of changes:
1) No grains
2) No sugars
3) Less cardio
4) More lifting
5) Less structure and rigor to my workouts. I still don't know what I'm going to do tomorrow from an exercise perspective.
So far this month, I've seen the following changes:
1) Carb cravings are gone – completely
2) I'm gaining muscle mass at age 47
3) People other than my wife are commenting on changes in my physique
4) I've dropped almost 2 inches from my waist and tomorrow, I'll measure my BF% to see how it's changed this month
5) I'm falling asleep when tired and waking up on my own
6) My weight is dropping
Lastly, it all feels sustainable.
Oh yeah, long cardio is hard while eating this way. I learned that the hard way.
I have been an ultramarathon runner since 1994, but maybe it's time to simply move on, save the time normally spent running for hours on end, day after day, and spend that time with my family.
Right now, I simply feel great and my body is changing. I need to see where I am six months from now, but I'm more optimistic now than ever that I've found a sustainable way to be fit and lean and happy.

David DeMartini, head of EA Partners, has said the company is hoping its forthcoming multiplatform project with Insomniac Games will eclipse the 90 percent review average on Metacritic.
"Insomniac makes really high-quality experiences that consumers love, and they're doing that again," said DeMartini, during a chinwag with Eurogamer at GamesCom last month.
"They are breaking some ground with regards to gameplay. But I'm not going to sit here and say, 'Yeah, they're going 4D.'
"Insomniac regularly has set a bar at 90 in Metacritic. I think this game is going to exceed that bar. It is a really great creative idea that they're executing on marvellously so far," he added.
The game will mark the first time developer Insomniac Games has produced a title for a console other than the PlayStation, and from the sound of things, it won't be long before we finally clap eyes on the mystery project for the first time.
"I think sooner rather than later we're going to be sharing some early concepts on that one because they've made so much progress. They're in a great position."
The unnamed title is being developed over at Insomniac's main base of operations in Burbank, California alongside Resistance 3. Meanwhile, the firm's North Carolina-based studio are busy working on the next instalment in the Ratchet & Clank franchise, titled All4One.

UPDATED: Tuesday, April 3, 2012 - 7:59pm
AUSTIN, Texas —
The breathtaking vistas from Mount Bonnell, the Pennybacker Bridge and the city's plentiful greenbelts are Austin calling cards.
"They're a draw to Austin. There are not that many cities where you can go to multiple places inside the city limits and find something as rugged and, of course, sometimes dangerous," said Austin-Travis County Emergency Medical Services spokesman Warren Hassinger.
On Sunday, the risks associated with scaling the spots for some of the best views of Austin turned tragic when 63-year-old Phillip Lloyd Short of North Texas died after falling from a cliff near the Pennybacker Bridge on Loop 360. Police said the death was accidental.
A spokesman for the Texas Department of Transportation said Monday that the agency will work with the Austin Police Department after it issues its final report to consider whether more steps are needed to restrict access or to warn people of the dangers of climbing the popular cliffs just off the busy highway in West Austin.

Hi Guys,
I got a pair of Dominator II side steps that I need to get rid of. The are in new condition and have never been installed on a vehicle. The are in central New York, so if you are close by feel free to stop by and check them out. I am not sure if I would be able to ship them because they are pretty big and I am not sure how to protect them. But if you really want them shipped and you can help with a method, I am willing to assist.
The picture below is not mine, but the bars look the same.

Juve stand by coach Ferrara
01 Dec 2009 - 07:19:14
Juventus president Jean Claude Blanc has voiced his support for head coach Ciro Ferrara, despite the Turin giants having dropped to third place in the Serie A standings.
A 2-0 reverse at Cagliari saw Juve fall eight points adrift of leaders Internazionale, but Blanc is in no mood to make a panic change.
He told the Italian media: "The next few games won't change our project, we will stick to it.
"I saw my boys really mad. This hunger and rage can be turned into great results.
"Many big clubs have been suffering from a deep crisis. That's the way football works, but we will get out of this tunnel."
Meanwhile, Juve expect defender Giorgio Chiellini to be back in action for next weekend's showdown with Inter after he underwent surgery to correct the broken nose his suffered against Cagliari.
A statement on the club's official website read: "Giorgio Chiellini underwent surgery on Monday morning to reduce the fracture of his nasal bones.
"The surgery was a perfect success and Chiellini will be discharged later on Monday. He will be able to train with a protective mask on Wednesday and Thursday."

Although extremely tired after a long day at the National Architecture Conference, I caught up with my sketching friend Alissa for a cuppa before going home - nice to catch up on art things after a day of architecture. I was too tired to sketch my cuppa (or so I thought) but I felt so weird watching her sketch that in the end I did a quick one. And then once home, even though more tired I felt the urge to do a sketch of one of the buildings from today's talks - so sketchable!
I bought a moleskine cahier (80pages?) to use as a notebook during the conference so I can scribble notes and quick sketches during the sessions - having to move faster than I had hoped and the lighting was sometimes minimal. I filled about 14 spreads today - no wonder I am tired - this one is probably the most interesting.

If there could be one word to describe the 18th annual Benton Athletic Memorial Museum Wall of Fame Banquet on Saturday night, it might be "memories." Athletic Director Steve Quinn, who served as master of ceremonies for the event, pointed out that memories are a key reason for the game itself. "You play football for the memories," he said, while noting that the 1977 members of the Benton High School championship football team and their family members gathered 35 years later for the the event were reliving that special time in their lives.
Since 2009, the Bryant school system has added 75 students to its English as a Second Language program, and it ia projected that this student population will continue to grow, said Sarah Merayo, ESL coordinator. Bryant High School has the largest ESL program, with 65 students participating. Springhill Elementary has 55 ESL students. Among her duties as ELC coordinator, Merayo works as liaison between the families of ESL students and the schools. She often serves as interpreter, but hires bilingual Bryant residents for large projects where an interpreter is needed.
When Bryant residents completed surveys using their phones at a recent town hall meeting, one question they were asked was how public works funds should best be invested in the city. Of those who answered, 54 percent said streets, 23 percent opted for sidewalks, 15 percent picked storm drainage, and 8 percent said public buildings.
