By infusing UNTOLD SCANDAL with the perfect blend of cultural specificity and Machiavellian eroticism, director E J-yong turns de Laclos' controversial tale of con- quest, love and betrayal into an exquisite Korean tragedy of manners. And as a seri- ous and successful pastiche of a canonical European text, this box-office record-break- ing Korean film also displays Mr. E's strong grasp of the difficulties of translating a novel from one culture to another. Such understanding is exemplified by the calculated emersion of Christianity in the film's plot. The transformation of Korea's cultural landscape by the missionary work of Roman Catholics, which was part of a wider Western intervention in 18th-century Korea, plays an important role in the psychological fabric of UNTOLD SCANDAL––and was mostly absent from de Laclos' 1782 novel. Synopsis: Based on the novel Les Liaisons Dangereuses, Untold Scandal is set in aristo- cratic 19th century Korea at the end of the Chosun Dynasty. The irresistible temptress Lady Cho (Lee Mi-Suk) asks her cad of a younger cousin, Jo-won (Bae Yong-Jun), to deflower the innocent young Soh-ok (Lee So-Yeon), who is to become her husband's concubine. But his attentions soon shift to the graceful and aloof Lady Sook (Jeon Do- Yeaon) who lives according to her convictions as a Catholic. Jo-won becomes obsessed with seducing this chaste woman who has remained celibate for nine years since her husband's death. However, it proves to be more difficult than he expected when Chosun's notorious playboy sets out to conquer the most virtuous woman in the land ...

During the late 18th century, Korea underwent its second renaissance under the leadership of two enlight- ened monarchs, Kings Yeong-Jo and Jeong-Jo. New ideas and technology from the West were streaming into this hermit kingdom and Catholicism was gaining influence among young and reform-minded opinion makers. Prosperity was abundant, arts and culture were flourishing, and the public psyche was full of confidence and optimism. King Jeong-Jo's premature death in 1800 signified the end of an era and the society was soon engulfed by social and political upheavals that shook the long established class structure and social hierarchy. On the morality front, by the 18th century Confucianism had been firmly estab- lished as the leading ideology to shape political, social and family structures. Upholding adherence to hierarchy and submission to authority, Confucianism also emphasized reason and rationality at the cost of repressing emotions, feelings and sexuality. Thus, hypocrisy was inevitable. While sexuality was repressed in general, Confucian propriety and morality applied differently to men and women. Men would take wives and concubines in pious efforts to beget sons who would carry on the family name. Meanwhile, women were denied their sexuality and were taught to kill themselves rather than ruining their chastity. The government rewarded those women who never married after their would- be husbands had died prior to the scheduled weddings. Some of these widows were coerced to commit suicide or even killed by in-laws for larger government awards of land and prestige. UNTOLD SCANDAL casts a subversive glimpse at the "official" history of this era. The Chosun society to which Director E J-Yong takes us is a surprising departure from what modern-day Koreans have thought as an age of innocence, gravity and oppression. In the film, the sublime and the vulgar co-exist, and aristocrats and ser- vants alike seek and freely engage in sexual encounters. While the male elders of the clan are conducting solemn rituals of ancestral worship, a nude model performs oral sex on an aristocratic painter who has no worldly ambitions. Men would go through several combs and scissors to groom their mustaches every morning, while Confucianism advocated cultivating and grooming their "inner light" and downplaying the care of outer appearances.

First wives take young lovers as their sterile husbands take a round of wives, concubines and prostitutes. A young pregnant woman marries a powerful and rich politician double her age and would raise the child as his heir. Aristocratic wives who display exemplary modesty would spare nothing to get the most coveted fashionable hairdo. They may wear shapeless skirts but they make sure to compensate with short jackets with narrow sleeves that teasing- ly reveal curves and bosom. In brief, UNTOLD SCANDAL turns upside down what we know of the Korean society during the late Chosun Dynasty. Yet this surprising spin on "the way they were" remains quite credible thanks to Director E J-Yong's controlling vision and preci- sion to details. One of the many attractions that made UNTOLD SCANDAL the most talked- about Korean film of 2003 even before it had been released and eventually drew near- ly 3.5 million viewers, was the audience's heightened anticipation and excitement that the film offered a peek at sex and sexuality in a society of Victorian morality -- a drama of lust, sex, revenge and self-destruction. For the younger generation in contemporary Korea who take sex and sexuality for granted, this age of innocence and repressed sexuality itself was enticing. This is an era when a man would make elaborate plans and wait for months just to get a first kiss from a woman, and when a woman underwent unbearable pains and agony before granting it. When a kiss and even a one-night stand on a first date today raise hardly anyone's eyebrows, audiences could have found the kind of lovemaking in the film too slow and unrealistic. Responses of the younger generation were totally oppo- site, however. Being used to the kind of love that often lasts for a fleeting moment, they were moved by a love and passion condemned by society and sacrifices made by lovers. If UNTOLD SCANDAL had ended there, it might have become just another sen- timental story – only perhaps a more tedious one against the historical backdrop of the Chosun Dynasty. But another appeal of this film to the younger generation was its uni- versal plot of calculated revenge––a raw display of human emotions of jealousy and cruelty that can be found in a society of any era. The charm of UNTOLD SCANDAL was telling a familiar story in an innovative, intriguing and very Korean way. A great irony in modern life is that people often con- tradict themselves as they seek change and yet long for stability. UNTOLD SCANDAL is a bracing embodiment of this dilemma.

In most period dramas, you would hear traditional stringed instruments like the kayagum, or see broad humor in the style of folk characters like Bang-ja, sto- ries about power factions in the palace or a wronged woman's lamentations, that kind of thing. I wanted to break out of the cliches and create a historical drama that was more stylish and sophisticated, visually and narratively, than movies set in contempo- rary times-like classic foreign films. 'Untold Scandal' is basically a love story, but it will be a unique amalgam of elegant eroticism and a new perspective on Chosun culture." – E J-yong Born in Seoul in 1965, graduate of Korean Academy of Film Art in 1991 FILMOGRAPHY: 2000 ASAKO IN RUBY SHOES 1998 AN AFFAIR 1994 TALES OF A CITY (Documentary) 1991 CIRCLE OF LIFE (Short) 1991 MY MOTHER'S SUMMER (Short) 1991 Homo Videocus (Short) KINO INTERNATIONAL • SUITE 503 • 333 W. 39th STREET • NY, NY, 10018 • TEL (212) 629-6880 • FAX (212) 714-0871 • firstname.lastname@example.com THE CHARACTERS: BAE Yong-jun on Jo-won Though adept in the scholarly arts of poetry, calligraphy and painting, Jo-won rejects a life in government for a hedonistic life. The most charming rake in all of Chosun seduces the ladies with his honeyed words, sharp wit and forceful personality. It is impossible to hate this calculating and ruthless philanderer because, deep down inside, he yearns for true love. He forms a secret alliance with his first love, Lady Cho, and turns on all of his intense charms and sexual magnetism to pursue the virtuous widow Lady Sook. "Jo-won is fully qualified for a government post but rejects it for a life of free- dom, indulging in the pleasure of women. The way that he pursues his own lifestyle no matter what the rest of the world says is quite similar to the tendencies of the present generation. I'm certainly making a huge change from my sensitive image from past television series, but I really enjoy revealing different aspects of my personality. I hope to be seen solely as my character Jo-won in the movie instead of my image as actor BAE Yong-Jun."

On the surface, she is a model wife of the nobility, while discreetly enjoying making sexual conquests. She con- trols the elaborate game of sex and intrigue with her commanding intelligence and sex- ual magnetism from behind the scenes. "While shooting 'The Affair,' E J-Yong told me about 'Untold Scandal.' I instinc- tively felt that no one else could play the character of Lady Cho. In the context of the period, Lady Cho would have been seen as a wanton woman, but I think in today's point of view, she could be seen as a daring, admirable woman who was born in the wrong time and never got the chance to fully utilize her talents. As filming continues, I think of her more and more as an extraordinary woman."

Aloof and graceful like a white crane, this refined beauty holds strong convictions that belie her fragile exterior, such as her forbidden Catholic faith. As she gradually succumbs to Jo-won's advances, she discovers the passion that she had kept buried deep within her heart. "I've played a lot of strong characters in the past, but I've always wanted to play a woman like Sook, who appears tranquil on the surface but has a lot of fire and pas- sion inside. Her love is pure, and she takes dangerous risks as a woman of her class for this love. I've been completely charmed by her personality, the way that she is deceptively weak on the outside but strong as steel on the inside."

Unaware that he's playing right into Lady Cho's hand, he falls in love at first sight with Soh-ok and succumbs to Lady Cho's dangerous temptations. Broadening his horizons as a young actor in his first film role, Cho Hyun-jae seems to be reflected in the character of In-ho, who experiences love and temptation for the first time and learns some hard life lessons in "Untold Scandal." As innocent as In-ho is at the beginning, his wounds are deep, and his character's development holds the key to the movie's unexpected outcome.

Privacy hedges date back to the Iron Agetags: Iron Age, ScienceNordic, hedges
The hedge around your house is much more than just a random shrub with green leaves. It's a symbol of private property and marks the boundary between what's mine and what's yours.
The idea to enclose and define with straight lines is actually an ancient one.
Some of the first archaeological evidence of landscape boundaries dates back to England around 1,500 BC, but 500 years later it also appears in the rest of Northwestern Europe.
"From being a predominantly open landscape with large commons with scattered trees and bushes, the landscape became dominated by linear demarcation lines. People started to enclose their fields and suddenly started building embankments and trenches around their houses and villages," says PhD student Mette Løvschal, who works at Aarhus University's Department of Culture and Society – Section for Prehistoric Archaeology, where she is using archaeological finds and anthropological theories to try and solve the riddle of when, how and why we suddenly started enclosing what was ours....

Panthers don pink for cancer awareness
News Editor | firstname.lastname@example.com
STANDISH — When the Standish-Sterling Central football team trotted out to play Manistee Friday night, they did so with a good cause in mind.
Instead of the standard navy blue, the Panthers wore pink uniforms in support of Breast Cancer Awareness month. Parents, community members and local businesses came together to help raise funds for the uniforms and support cancer awareness.
City of Standish Mayor Pro Tem Jerry Nelson, whose son, Konner Nelson, is a member of the team, said he and Standish-Sterling Community Schools Board of Education trustee Dennis Kolevar came up with the idea for the "Pink Game" a few months ago.
"Denny (Kolevar) recently lost his father-in-law to cancer and I lost my mother-in-law, and we just thought, 'Why don't we do this?'" He said. "That is when we started to gather donations."
"We did not intend on calling this game the 'Pink Game' as many people are calling it, but I think that is what it is turning into," he added.
Nelson said a number of people from across the area chipped in to help purchase the uniforms, which cost approximately $20-$30 each.
"This was a costly thing but everyone did their part to support it," he said.
To officially get the ball rolling on the project, Nelson said he and Kolevar checked with SSC Athletic Director Ben Welmers and head coach Paul Walderzak.
"Ben cleared things as far as rules were concerned and Paul talked to his players," Nelson said. "From what Paul told us, all of the players were on board and are excited to do this."
Walderzak said the players were excited for the opportunity.
"When I came to the team they were all for this," he said. "Almost everyone knows someone who has had some form of cancer and they guys wanted to pay their tribute."
Not only were the uniforms pink, Nelson said all of the players had the opportunity to choose a name to put on the back of the jerseys.
"My son is putting Busia, which is Polish for grandma, on his uniform," he said. "After the game he is going to give that uniform to his grandfather."
Walderzak said he hopes to see the "Pink Game" continue each year.
"This was a community effort," he said. "The community came to us with this idea and we were glad to be a part of it."
Nelson said that because money for the uniforms was collected late in the year, all of the proceeds are invested in the uniforms. He added that he hopes to see this game become a tradition and raise money for cancer research.
"Hopefully this is just the first step," he said. "We want to see this become a tradition for our community and help out research if we can."

Flower Vase Made By Bees
How would it be to be a bee? Einstein has been quoted as saying that if the bee were to suddenly disappear, mankind would survive only another four years. So, make a bow to your insect overlords, and visit this site by a neuroscientist researching bee vision to experience first-hand how a bee sees. The B-EYE software allows you to set various parameters to see how a bee would view selected images, including Einstein himself. Or test your bee communication skills at Nova's "Dances with Bees" page, where you watch the dance of a hive mate and then try to locate the nectar source that he's mapping out. If you're still not impressed, consider that bees possess higher cognitive functions, including the ability for abstract thought. Finally, find out why nice bees don't always finish last in a look at the guerrilla tactics wielded against the dreaded "killer bee" by mild-mannered Cape honeybees.

I tried this as my first all grain, and some how managed to really screw it up. It was in the primary for 8 days at 68 degrees F. It fermented like crazy. I had to leave town and checked the gravity when I got back. The reading was 1.004. I knew I had left it in the primary for too long, so I decided to bottle it right then and there. I used 2.5vols corn sugar to bottle with and aged it for 3 weeks at 52 degrees F. Popped one open to have a drink and found there was a thick layer of "stuff" on the bottom. The beer started great but quickly turned terrible. I assume I can attribute the bad taste the the layer of crap. Question for the pros: What is that stuff and how do I avoid it? PLEASE HELP....I WANT TO BREW AGAIN!! Thanks in advance.
That "layer of crap" is normal, all bottle conditioned beer will have that...some more so than others. Describe what went wrong with the taste? I'm thinking if it tasted good at bottling and now it doesn't there may be an infection that came during the bottling process?
I was thinking about replacing the vienna and 4lbs of the 2 row with toasted 2-row for a slightamber color and a light nutty taste. What do you think. I will be using the same hop schedule and yeast.
Never mind I was thinking vienna was toasted 2-row it is not victory is.
It tasted bad at bottling too. I don't think it has an infection. It just leaves a bad after taste. I've never done it, but the taste it leaves is what I would think a dirty gym sock tastes like.
Give a little more information about your brew day. What exactly did you mash with, what temp, what yeast did you pitch, etc. 68F is a little high for most ale strains, maybe your getting some fruity flavors?
I wouldn't really describe the flavor as fruity.
7 lb Pale Malt (2 Row) US (1.7 SRM)
.75 lb cara-pils/dextrine 1.5 srm
.5 lb carmel crystal malt - 10L 10.0 srm
.5 lb vienna malt 3.8 srm
.25 oz centennial 8% for 55 min
.25 oz centennial 8% for 35 min
.25 oz cascade 6% for 20 min
.25 oz cascade 6% for 5 min
1 whirlfloc for 10 min
1 pack danstar nottingham (as 800 mL starter)
held mast at 150 for 60 min
sparged w/ 180 degree water
also, I used bottled water
I tried to calculate all of my liquid volumes to be exact and give me a final batch size of 5.5 gal. Next time, should I boil a smaller volume and then dilute it when I transfer to the primary?
Thanks for the help
Looks good to me, from experience though Nottingham can do some less than ideal things at 68F. That being said, don't give up on it yet, let it sit a few weeks, forget about it and see if it has cleaned up.
Will do. What temp do is ideal for the Nottingham?

Previously, an entry in this blog explained that the agency that conducts research for intelligence agencies is interested in learning how people's performance in a virtual world or game can affect their abilities in real life.
The agency, the Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Agency (IARPA), is interested in focused, quantitative research on how gaming and virtual world immersion could boost problem-solving skills, critical thinking, teamwork and persistence, according to a request for information (RFI) from that organization released in March. IARPA does research for the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI).
In the request, IARPA said studies show that immersive environments can affect real world performance, but the agency said much of that previous research has focused on case studies and gross-level effects.
So why are intelligence agencies interested in research on games and avatars?
In an e-mail message response to follow up questions from Federal Computer Week about the possible research, ODNI said if features of virtual environments that contribute to enhanced real-world performance are identified, intelligence agencies may be able to develop environments to improve training or provide support for analysts.
A researcher could alter the fidelity of a virtual environment to determine what is "good enough," or a researcher might test different story narratives of virtual games to determine if they have a real-world effect, ODNI said.
"Most prior research has looked at gross level, short term effects. We are interested in measuring the effects of methods using [virtual environments] as compared to [non-virtual environments]," ODNI said. "What aspects or features of the virtual environments contribute to the real world effect? Can we measure the persistence of these effects for a week, a month, or a year? These are the sorts of metrics that we are interested in,"
Responses to the RFI are due April 12.

- Sci-Fi Paperback Covers #1
'Bright colors for a bright universe'
- * Disclaimer* This project was developed during my MA at the University of Reading, where I attended the Book Design course. These are not Faber and Faber Ltd books, just dummies. The F&F logo has been used merely as a part of an exercise to make the mockups more realistic.
- What I did for this project / I chose a literary genre and a hypothetical book series, studying the readership and the market, and I structured a brief. To respond to it I developed two graphic concepts, working on typography, grid and creating the illustrations.
- Color Coding
- Each sub-genre of Science Fiction is identified by a specific color hue. Covers from the same sub-genre share same hue (or tint) but have diverse shape, lightness and saturation. Series within the series (such as Dune series by Frank Herbert, or the Foundation series by Isaac Asimov) share the exact same combination of hue, lightness and saturation: only the shape of the stain differ from one volume to another.
- From left to right, this is the color coding interpretation:
Light Blue & Grey Space Opera
Blu, Violet & Purple Hard Sci-Fi
Red & Purple Psychological and Social Sci-Fi
Red, Yellow & Pink Utopia and Distopia
Blue & Green Cyberpunk
Yellow & Black Other Worlds and Xenofiction
Brown & Black Political and Military Sci-Fi

So glad our old washer died so we could purchase this wonderful washer with lots of features! Our dealer let us browse, sold us both washer & dryer, and the installer was great! Clothes come out great!!!!
lovin it
By Sean mc
from Maryland, United States
Only had it a month but so far so good. I really did not not want the new stle washer without agitator or side access as every review said clothes did not come out clean. so far this washes more clothes than other washer, they are clean and the spin cycle gets more water out of clothes so dryer works less. happy so far!
Whirlpool Top Load Washer
By peakbagr
from Northeast MA
Easy to read features on control panel and inside cover detailing. The only thing I didn't care for is the wash through spin cycles utilize too much time. The old washer didn't take so long.
Great Purchase
By MareSked

I bought this washer after being without one for a few months and it was a great buy. My clothes come out cleaner than before. Easy to use.

Opening day is always special to me. Each year my primary goal is to fish all day and see no other anglers. When you consider that over two million Californians buy trout stamps and that most of them are out fishing opening day, you can appreciate my goal. In the last ten years I've only had one opening day that I've seen anyone else astream. My secondary opening goal is to catch fish. One opening day I caught no trout at all and on another, I caught only four.

Ninety years ago, on April 12, 1920, Manteca started the ball season right by winning the first game they played. The game was with Escalon and while this team is not a member of the league, it is a good fast team and has won all the games played this season before this game. A large crowd turned out and cheered lustily. The score at the close stood 7 to 2 in favor of the home boys. Elmer Blodgett started off right, pitching a first class game. He pitched all of last season and was a big factor in winning ...

After getting blanked by the Tigers 3-0 last Thursday, the Spreckels Park major division A's rebounded from their first loss of the Little League season with an 11-0 shelling of the Angels Saturday at Brock Elliot School.
The Dodgers relied on five runs in the first inning to take control of the game against the Yankees to eventually claim a 19-6 minor division victory in Northgate Little League play.
I don't know many bass fishermen that aren't excited about going fishing with the weather we've been having this week. All the lakes and rivers should have fish up shallow either spawning or looking to spawn. The hardest decision I have, is deciding where I want to fish! We're truly lucky to live around so many great fisheries. Last month while sitting in Jiffy Lube I overheard two gentlemen talking about fishing and living in Manteca. They both agreed that there are very few places that offer great weather and great fishing like the central valley ...
Eighty years ago, on April 4, 1930, the Hughson Union High nine nosed out the local Manteca High Buffaloes and won the third C.I.F. game of the season by a 12 to 11 game in Hughson. The Hughson boys were hitting the ball quite regularly, getting six runs off Fred Theiler and six off Joe Abreu, who pitched for the Mantecans. They pitched fairly good ball but were given little support in the field. In the sixth frame, the Mantecans started a rally and scored eight runs before they could be stopped. Theiler and Joe Bettencourt got three ...

Seventy years ago, on March 28, 1940, in a wild and wooly game that saw both nines score at will, the Manteca High hickory stickers finally came through with a close 12-11 win over their rivals from Tracy High. The lead changed hands several times at the outset of the game and both pitchers were hit unmercifully. "Frenchy" Guisto poked out a pair of four-ply swats besides gathering a triple and two singles for a perfect day at the plate. It was the only sporting event that came to a head over the past week. All other scheduled events were ...

traversing the narrow road
with the Word of God
I take pride the life I've dedicated to the Lord and the things that I write. Over the past 20 years I've been writing stories, poems, rambling thoughts some inspirational, and have accumulated "several" unfinished books. For ten years I've been working as a front-end web developer learning how to shape and craft amazing web experiences.
February 7, 2015
One useful part of owning a Mac is the ability to quickly show and hide hidden files so that you can make quick adjustments. For my own workflow that meant starting a Google search for "Show Hidden Files on Mac" all the time when I needed to see and edit a hidden file, then open a terminal window and paste the command that they provided on the page in order to complete that particular workflow. Not the best and quickest solution I know. So at one point I figured that I would set up an alias for both showing and hiding files quickly using terminal with commands that I could remember easily.

During a project to migrate assets from one server to another it was proposed that we change how our files were being included. For the first step we wrote an interesting JavaScript solution to include files using a single script file. This allowed us to update core styles and/or scripts by adding them to that single script include. Amazing, I thought at first. Then after combing through the several hundred or so files to make sure that we had all the necessary files to make our templates and pages work correctly the testing phase arose a completely different problem in none other than Internet Explorer 8 (IE8). Usually the first inclination is to kick a chair or filing cabinet once a bug is discovered in IE8, because in the end it will usually involve some type of MacGyver method. Read more.

Every day I write code and love building feature "x" for web sites. I enjoy the projects and people that I work with that inspire me to write clean and highly functional code (in any browser, yes, even Internet Explorer). However, in a recent discussion with a good friend and colleague I realized that I need to start doing more than code at work and then code at home. There are far more interesting things to do than learning to be better at a skill while completely missing the point of unplugging and doing something different that allows your passions to deepen in new ways. The challenge he had setup for himself was to take up a hobby and while talking more about hobbies he mentioned that he wanted to learn to build a drone using [Arduino](http://www.arduino.cc/), which is an open-source electronics platform. For him it was a way to connect and have fun with his family which bridged the gap between his need to unplug from work related coding projects and to learn something new. For developers we spend far too much time plugged into an online medium and it definitely drains our batteries not having the ability to do something different. We code in our spare time, start personal web projects, take on a few clients on the side, and eventually go back to work for 40+ hours to do the same thing over again. It burns you out when your personal and work lives collide in such a way that you can't see the dividing line. Read more.

Brad Bates Hosting a Town Hall - Your Thoughts Tonight at 8 PM!
in Sports
Two years ago, then-new Athletic Director Brad Bates sponsored a Town Hall style meeting discussing the state of Boston College football in addition to his overall athletic program. Selected season ticket holders were invited to the Yawkey Center to meet with Bates and members of his staff to voice opinions about the football program and the game day experience.
Two years later, Bates will entertain a number of season ticket holders prior to the basketball season finale against Wake Forest. The actual purpose of the meeting wasn't addressed in the invitation, but he will have a meeting once again to go over the Boston College fan experience from his constituents.
In the days leading up to this, we figured we'd take your pulse of the state of the programs and check back in with you! BCI Radio, after a period of dormancy over the last month or so, is BACK, and we're coming back with a big bang.
So tune in on Tuesday at 8 PM and discuss the state of the Boston College athletics program. We'll have your calls at 646-200-0446.
1990 Town Hall Meeting With Nelson Mandela (New York, USA)
in Politics
1990 Town Hall Meeting with Nelson Mandela of South Africa.
This meeting, held in New York and chaired by Ted Koppel of ABC Networks, formed part Nelson Mandela's first visit to the USA immediately following his release after 27 years in prison.
Much of the meeting focused on Nelson Mandela's advocating of sanctions against Apartheid South Africa, his support for the Palestinian Liberation Organisation (PLO) as well as his close friendship with Yasser Arafat (of Palestine) and Fidel Castro (of Cuba).
It is important to note that this meeting took place in 1990, long before the world embraced Nelson Mandela or the ANC, yet, even then, Mandela stood firm and resolute on his and the ANC's policies even though it could have "hurt" his and the ANC's "image", for example his support for the Palestinian and Cuban people.

The initiative will leverage the inspirational leadership of CEOs; the personal stories of their employees who have risen above difficult circumstances to have successful careers; and specific professional pathways that these companies' Talent and Human Resources departments will provide to College Summit students.
Wisconsin schools that receive failing grades on state report cards would be closed or turned into independently operated charter schools and low-quality private schools could be booted from the taxpayer-funded voucher program, under legislation announced this week.
A school in New Zealand lets its students do whatever they want during playtime. Are American parents ready to endorse a similar policy here?
Teachers in 18 states and the District of Columbia have new resources to help them prepare their students for upcoming Common Core field tests. The Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers has posted sample test items on the platform students in every grade will use when taking the field test later this spring.
Users of online services believe responsibility for privacy is shared by governments, technology suppliers and individuals, a survey has revealed. Individuals feel some responsibility to find out what data is collected and how it is used, but they also expect companies to be responsible users of that data and governments to play a role.
New findings suggest that children ages 2 to 10 spend 42 minutes a day watching educational TV, but only five minutes using computers or mobile devices for education. The study also suggests that as they get older, kids are spending less and less time with educational TV shows, apps and games, even as their screen time soars.
The technology levies on the Washington state ballots are proof that the Legislature has failed its constitutional duty to fully fund basic education. The 21st century is saturated with electronic technology—yet school districts must beg local voters every few years to help upgrade computers, software and internet infrastructure. Technology today is part of basic education, but the state treats it as a luxury.
A former technology director for Easton Area School District in Pennsylvania accused of secretly recording a private meeting will be spared a criminal conviction. Thomas G. Drago was accepted into Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition, a first-offender program that will allow him to have his record expunged, provided he completes a year of probation and undergoes a psychological evaluation.

UClass.io For Schools is a centralized, searchable district-wide resource exchange that lets teachers share, find and organize resources that are created for the new Common Core standards.
The Meade School District in South Dakota is on the verge of making a giant leap into technology by spending just shy of $800,000 over the next three years for 750 student computers and 70 staff computers. The program is being dubbed the one-to-one initiative, meaning each student at the high school would get his or her own computer.
The Cleveland school district won't be able to build as many new schools as the district had hoped, after a new projection shows the number of students in the district falling faster than earlier predictions.
A year after then-state Auditor General Jack Wagner released an audit of Pittsburgh Public Schools, his replacement, Eugene DePasquale, stood beside new Pittsburgh Mayor Bill Peduto on Monday to announce the auditor general will review the school district again.
The plan includes proposals for a universal enrollment system and a broad partnership with charter school networks that are already on their way to serving half of Camden's students within the next five years.

This argument would work if we were talking about employees developing content and not IT. Companies that operate around the clock with user access will always have a tech(s) on the clock. So it wouldn't be hard for them to restart the servers during their normal 'night hours'.
Okay, so I misunderstood your statement as being "one single server for the game". Sorry. Bear in mind I'm used to working with PWE games, which have several regionally placed servers to reduce lagtime.
Also, another point--F2P may not have brought a huge number, but I doubt that the number is insignificant, either. I never specified exactly how many--and if it
bring a decent sized amount, why the daily restarts? A reasonable answer--albeit only speculation in the absence of a response from someone familir with the actual operations--would be to "clean out" the server memory given the increased server traffic from F2P.

I have been a client of The Dentists for many years and love the staff. However this visit, I was left waiting in the chair for twenty minutes when I was told it would be five. No one came by to check on me, I just waited, in a cold chair and grew frustrated. To top the visit I was drowned by the assistant when we finally did get started on my procedure. At the end of the visit I was asked to pay six times the agreed upon price because she said the insurance would send me the funds. Shouldn't I have been told that when I agreed to the procedure and signed their document?. This visit did not meet their usual caring, attentive expectation.
We apologize for this instance. It is not our usual standard of care and we are going to continue to improve and do better. Thank you for giving us this feedback

i have always had a pleasant experience at The Dentists Bastrop. After trying one of the other dentist office in town , I returned to The Dentists Bastrop! iI really wish that there were some extended hours because I know of people that would go if they could get appointments in the evening and on Saturday mornings.

In our family, we take care of our teeth. I am extremely pleased with Dr. Emmert and his staff. After spending 20 years with a saint of a dentist in Austin who retired, we shopped around but until I found Dr. Emmert, we would not commit to stick with one. His staff was so professional and focused on customer satisfaction and there was no pressure to sell cosmetic services we couldn't afford. Even my elderly Mother had no complaints or pain. I had no idea it would be so easy to get my teeth looking nice. Our whole family goes now and we couldn't be happier. Dr. Emmert truly seems to love what he does.

The blood vessel that makes up my arteriovenous fistula has apparently narrowed again, most likely the result of the inordinately high blood pump flow rates used in US hemodialysis facilities. In my case, the blood pump flow rate is always set for 500 mL/min for three hours. Using a lower, gentler blood pump flow rate would require a longer treatment time which would raise the cost of the corporate dialysis provider — DaVita in my case. So, in the US, in-center hemodialysis patients are subjected to as high a blood pump flow rate as they can tolerate in order to lower provider costs as much as possible.
My blood vessel narrowing requires yet another fistulagram and almost certainly another angioplasty. I've explained my fistula adventures throughout this website, most recently in September 2012. Last week, during a dialysis treatment, my venous pressure hit — and remained at — 300 mmHg (a personal record, but nothing of which to be proud). The dialysis nurse called to schedule a fistulagram and probable angioplasty, and the soonest I could get in was two weeks later: Tuesday 8 October 2013.
Next Tuesday, I'll set off for United Hospital in downtown Saint Paul for a date with the radiologist. I'm a year older now and each birthday is something of a victory. Here's hoping I can make it onto that damn surgery table, the balloon does its job, and nothing breaks. I gave up on retaining anything resembling dignity with regard to the hospital gown several fistulagrams ago and now just let my freak flag fly.
Allina, United Hospital's corporate parent, seems to have cleaned up one piece of its act with regard to pre-registering patients. This afternoon, when the administrator called, I was never asked to pre-pay my co-pay; something that really set me off the last go 'round. Instead of being asked if there were any changes with my insurance (there were), I was told that they showed my insurance was Medicare with a BlueCross BlueShield supplement. That information was correct, but how did you know, I asked. "Oh, we always do a database lookup and cross-check before even calling," came the response.
Of course they do.
I bit my tongue and said goodbye before I could ask the obvious questions: What database and cross-checked with what, where, and how exactly. I'll wait until after the procedure this time before pissing anybody off.

At least three people were killed and 79 injured as knife-wielding attackers detonated bombs and assaulted travellers at the railway station of the capital city of China's far-western Xinjiang "autonomous region" on Wednesday evening, State media reported, hours after President Xi Jinping wrapped up a four-day visit to the troubled frontier province home to minority Uighur Muslims.
The blasts, reported at 7 pm local time (4.30 pm IST) at the Urumqi south railway station's exit, was powerful enough for people at a nearby hotel to report feeling "an earthquake", the official Xinhua news agency reported. The station is Xinjiang's largest.
As of Wednesday evening, at least three people were reported to have been killed and 79 injured by knife-wielding "mobs", Xinhua said.
The incident takes place less than two months after Uighur extremists carried out a similar knife attack on a railway station in southwestern Yunnan province, killing 29 and injuring more than 100.
Wednesday's explosion took place in Urumqi, Xinjiang's capital, on a day when the city was under more than the usual security presence: Chinese President Xi Jinping on Wednesday morning chaired a meeting with local officials, before wrapping up a five-day visit to the region.
During his visit, Mr. Xi pledged to crack down hard on terrorism as he toured a military base, and described the challenge to maintain stability as "grim and complicated".
He visited a People's Liberation Army (PLA) military area command in Kashgar, the old Silk Road town near China's borders with Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan, describing the Kashgar region as "the frontline in anti-terrorism and maintaining social stability".
Kashgar and Hotan – located further south near China's border with Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) – have seen intermittent violence, from bombs in market places to knife attacks on restaurants.
Attacks three years ago that left at least 40 people killed were blamed by local officials on Uighur terror groups with links to outfits in Pakistan. Many Uighurs have, however, said Chinese policies have helped fuel ethnic tensions with increasing migration of majority Han Chinese.
