VIEWS: 0 PAGES: 5 CATEGORY: Government POSTED ON: 6/26/2009
Archived Information ED REVIEW September 24, 2004 ...a bi-weekly update on U.S. Department of Education activities relevant to the Intergovernmental and Corporate community and other stakeholders ________________________________________________________ NCLB UPDATE (http://www.ed.gov/nclb/) Don't forget! This afternoon, at 1:00 p.m. ET, Secretary Paige will deliver his annual Back to School Address. The speech will be broadcast live (and archived) as a webcast at http://www.connectlive.com/events/deptedu/. Also, the speech's text will be posted on the Department's web site. On September 17, Secretary Paige named over 250 public and private elementary and secondary schools, from 38 states and the District of Columbia, as No Child Left Behind Blue Ribbon Schools. The program recognizes schools that achieve at high levels (schools whose students, regardless of background, perform in the top 10 percent on state assessments [public] or national norm-referenced assessments [private]) or make significant progress in closing the achievement gap (schools with at least 40 per- cent of their students from disadvantaged backgrounds that dramatically improve student performance on state assessments or national norm-referenced assessments). Chief State School Officers nominate public schools, and the Council for American Private Education nominates private schools. Of the schools nominated by each state, at least one-third must meet the significant progress criterion, and winners must meet adequate yearly progress requirements, as defined by their states. The winners will be honored at a ceremony in Washington, D.C., on November 4-5. FOR MORE INFORMATION, PLEASE GO TO http://www.ed.gov/programs/nclbbrs/awards.html. Congratulations to the Garden Grove (CA) Unified School District, winner of the 2004 Broad Prize for Urban Education. The California system edged out four other finalists: Aldine (TX), Boston, Charlotte-Mecklenburg, and Norfolk. Garden Grove will be awarded $500,000 for college scholarships. FOR MORE INFORMATION, PLEASE GO TO http://www.broadfoundation.org/flagship/prize-net.shtml. ________________________________________________________ INTERNATIONAL REPORT According to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development's "Education at a Glance," which tracks 30 industrialized nations, the U.S.'s "lead" in education is rapidly eroding. For example, while the U.S. ranks first among adults ages 45-64 with a high school diploma, it falls to fifth among adults ages 35-44 and tenth among adults ages 25-34. Likewise, although the U.S. still has the top college graduation rate among adults ages 35-64, it slips to second -- behind Norway -- among adults ages 25-34, and America's college dropout rate is above the international average (six times higher than Japan's). Indeed, the average American adult now has 12.7 years of schooling, less than one year in front of the average international adult with 11.8 years. "In this dynamic global economy, it's extremely important that we measure ourselves against our friends and competitors," Secretary Paige said in response. "The 30 nations measured...account for about 80 percent of world trade. If we are less competitive educationally, we will soon become less competitive economically. It's just a fact." Some other key findings: internationally, the benefits of a college education (e.g., salary) far exceed the cost of the additional education; the U.S. spends more per student on all levels of education ($10,871) than any nation; and the U.S. reports the highest number of teaching hours per year in elementary and high school and the second-highest number in middle school. FOR MORE INFORMATION, PLEASE GO TO http://www.oecd.org/edu/eag2004/. ________________________________________________________ AMERICAN STARS Throughout this week, the Education Department focused attention on exemplary classroom teachers who are successful in raising student achievement for all students, often through the use of innovative classroom strategies. American Stars of Teaching have been identified in each state and the District of Columbia and represent every grade level and discipline. Officials from the agency visited the classes of each teacher to congratulate them on their success. FOR MORE INFORMATION, PLEASE GO TO http://www.ed.gov/teachers/how/tools/initiative/american-stars.html. ________________________________________________________ NCES REPORTS The Department's National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) continues to publish a variety of outstanding resources: • A new issue brief (http://nces.ed.gov/pubsearch/pubsinfo.asp?pubid=2004035) examines the growth of English Language Learner (ELL) students in public schools between the 1994 and 2000 school years. Nationally, the number of ELL students increased from 2.1 million (five percent of the population) in 1993-94 to three million (seven percent of the population) in 1999-2000. However, this growth was not evenly distributed across the country. Today, the West region has over half of the nation's ELL students. Moreover, whereas 62 percent of the nation's students attend schools with an ELL population under one percent, 19 percent of Western students attend schools with an ELL population greater than 25 percent and seven percent of Western students attend schools with an ELL population greater than 50 percent. • "A Decade of Undergraduate Student Aid" (http://nces.ed.gov/pubsearch/pubsinfo.asp?pubid=2004158) utilizes data from four national studies to analyze changes in financial aid among full-time undergraduates. The report also discusses the 1992 Reauthorization of the Higher Education Act and its effect on how financial aid was distributed over time. • The "Report on Historically Black Colleges and Universities" (http://nces.ed.gov/pubsearch/pubsinfo.asp?pubid=2004062) has data on enrollment, degrees conferred, staff, finances, and student financial aid at the nation's HBCUs. (Note: The Secretary's remarks at the annual celebration of HBCUs are available at http://www.ed.gov/news/speeches/2004/09/09132004.html.) ________________________________________________________ KITS AND TIPS... With Election Day fast approaching, CNN has developed a fun, informative course of study called "The America Votes 2004 Teaching Kit," comprised of a CD-ROM of multi- media resources and teaching activities related to the presidential election process. The materials in this kit, covering primaries and caucuses, national party conventions, polls, presidential debates, the Electoral College, and Inauguration Day, may be used independently or as a supplement to an existing program. FOR MORE INFORMATION, PLEASE GO TO http://www.learning.turner.com/cnnelectionkit/splash.htm. As a safe school is critical to helping students achieve, KSA-Plus Communications and the National Crime Prevention Council have teamed up to offer "11 Tips to Help Parents Create Safer Schools." This is the latest in a series of tip sheets that help parents become more effective advocates for their children and partners with their schools. FOR MORE INFORMATION, PLEASE GO TO http://www.parents.ksaplus.com/plpubs.html#11Tips. ________________________________________________________ DEFAULT RATE The national student loan default rate has dropped to an all-time low of 5.2 percent, and all -- but one -- of the nation's colleges and universities have default rates low enough (less than 40 percent in one year and 25 percent for three consecutive years) to ensure they remain eligible for federal financial aid programs. The national default rate has dropped almost every year since 1990, when it peaked at 22.4 percent. The FY 2002 rates represent the most current data available and include borrowers who attended 5,955 schools that participate in the Federal Family Education Loan and William Ford Federal Direct Loan programs. FOR MORE INFORMATION, PLEASE GO TO http://www.ed.gov/news/pressreleases/2004/09/09142004.html. (Individual school default rates are at http://www.ed.gov/offices/OSFAP/defaultmanagement/cdr.html.) ________________________________________________________ QUOTE TO NOTE "There are many, many good schools in America, and we thank the outstanding and dedicated educators who made them that way. But some clearly need improvement. They rob our children of their true potential, which robs our nation of its true potential. It's time that taxpayers demand more. Americans must shed their 'Lake Wobegon' mentality -- the belief that every school is above-average, especially our own. A poorly performing school somewhere affects Americans everywhere. The OECD findings bear this out. The price we pay is in lost opportunity, both as a nation and as individual citizens." -- Secretary of Education Rod Paige (9/13/04) ________________________________________________________ UPCOMING EVENTS The Department's next "Education News Parents Can Use" broadcast, regarding supplemental services, is scheduled for October 19. FOR MORE INFORMATION, PLEASE GO TO http://registerevent.ed.gov/downlink/event-flyer.asp?intEventID=179. Due to tremendous demand and positive feedback, the Department is sponsoring additional Teacher-to-Teacher Initiative workshops this fall. Math workshops will be held October 9 (Bentonville, AR) and October 23 (Redmond, WA). Reading workshops will be held October 16 (Wheeling, WV) and November 6 (Madison, WI). All four work- shops will include sessions on the No Child Left Behind Act and school leadership. FOR MORE INFORMATION, PLEASE GO TO http://www.teacherquality.us/teachertoteacher/workshops.asp. On October 19, in Miami, Florida, the White House and the Departments of Education, Agriculture, Health and Human Services, Housing and Urban Development, Justice, and Labor are hosting a conference to help the country's faith-based and community organ- izations learn more about President Bush's Faith-Based and Community Initiative. FOR MORE INFORMATION, PLEASE GO TO http://www.fbci.gov/. (Note: The deadline for registration is October 11.) NetDay's Student Voices Day is scheduled for October 20. On that day, elementary, middle, and high school students, public and private, will have an opportunity to share their ideas and viewpoints on how technology should be used in the education process.

It's not well explained, but it also prevents an artist from creating a bunch of accounts and voting for their own design multiple times, although I can't imagine why one would want to do so. Anyway, I think you'll find the community very welcoming of newcomers with great designs, but they are sticklers for the rules (as is woot). Read the rules and keep submitting. Your design is great!

Cute. Great take on the cow jumping over the moon. Any time a design makes me smile I have to vote for it.
I totally giggled when I saw this one. It may not survive the "no pop culture" rule, but just wanted to let you know that I liked the design.

Thank you Marek (and thank you Michael)! I'm waiting for an update of oibaf's drivers to test OpenGL 3.0 features with my AMD 6570
Phoronix: R600 Gallium3D Can Now Do OpenGL 3.0, GLSL 1.30
Marek Olák has made another exciting commit to the Mesa mainline Git repository this weekend... What he's accomplished now is making it possible to successfully advertise OpenGL 3.0 / GLSL 1.30 support within the R600 Gallium3D driver for the Radeon HD 2000 series and later...
Thank you Marek (and thank you Michael)! I'm waiting for an update of oibaf's drivers to test OpenGL 3.0 features with my AMD 6570
just awesome
but why is this not in mesa 8.0 ? ? ? this irritate me a little bit.
Is this actually adding full gl3 functionality, or merely advertising gl3 for debugging/testing purposes?
WAHOO!!! MERCI Devs!!
(glxinfo output)
Code:OpenGL vendor string: X.Org OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on AMD JUNIPER OpenGL version string: 3.0 Mesa 8.0-devel (git-672ad90) OpenGL shading language version string: 1.30
we've had debugging enables for ages, look at the recent r600 commit history, where we've been finishing off all the underneath GL3.0 stuff
The big items left are:
EXT_transform_feedback needs upstream kernel patch, and it currently locks up on all R700 class hardware.
cayman needs some more work to finish off a few integer opcodes (divide/mod).
Its got 7620/7846 on piglit on my rv635 right now, a few of the remaining issues should be solved by Jerome's tiling work.
There are some OpenGL 3.0 demos at http://es.g0dsoft.com/?page_id=236
"The R600g driver now joins Intel Sandy Bridge, Gallium3D Softpipe, and Nouveau NVC0-Fermi ..."
Does this mean, with all the support from AMD, nouveau got there first?

I think there might be a thread on this. I agree...they are similar. On me OS was smoother and didn't have the sharp note (urinal cake). I like 'em both.
Thread: Kouros and Orange Spice |
I can't imagine that this hasn't been discussed here but I could not find anything on it. Sorry if I am starting a rehash. I just got a sample vial of Orange Spice and to me it is remarkably like Kouros. Any comments on similarities and/or differences? Thanks in advance.
I have read in Plato and Cicero sayings that are wise and very beautiful; but I have never read in either of them: Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden.'' --Saint Augustine

I think there might be a thread on this. I agree...they are similar. On me OS was smoother and didn't have the sharp note (urinal cake). I like 'em both.
Yes, they are similar but Orange Spice is not as animalic. Pierre Bourdon created Kouros because he was in fact a long time fan of Orange Spice.
Here's a few, there were about 3 pages, but these seem to discuss the topic the most.
I totally agree and I think I may have posted something on this a couple yrs ago....I can't remember really.
I ended up trading mine....and my Kouros....
I've gone back and forth between which I like better. Sometimes it's Kouros because of the rawness and unrefined hints in it, but sometimes it's the ethereal grace of the ghostly neroli (I think it's neroli) in Orange Spice.
They are very like, but there are also huge differences in how they feel. Kouros is very elegant, I believe, despite its monster reputation, but it is a blunt and forceful instrument. There are many many things going on in the smell of Kouros--more than in Orange Spice--but they're harder to find and take some patient seeking and learning.
Orange spice seems to me to have fewer things going on, but great things all the same. Orange Spice is sort of like a curtain behind you and Kouros is a searchlight blasting out of you.
As similar as they are, I don't think one leads a user to the other, and I even suspect that it would make sense to own both (as indulgent as that would be).
They're both great great products.
That girl, that bottle, that mattress and me.
I have worn Kouros since 1988. My GF at the time used to spray it all over me at the perfume counters because she loved it. I'm going to go out this weekend and test some on my skin to see if I like it.
This is from DustB in an older thread and after wearing them both a while I concur wholeheartedly. Thanks guys.
Quote: I'd say Kouros says the same things Orange Spice does, but Kouros suffers from a bit of deafness in both ears. Therefore Kouros talks louder in polite company

Inititally there's a mild congruence, but that's short-lived. One obvious difference is that Kouros is a fougère and Orange Spice is a soft oriental. Another monumental difference is that Kouros is built on a massive framework (probably one of the largest in perfumery) while Orange Spice is built on an itsy bitsy teeny tiny one and, like many Creeds, generally just poops out without much interest beyond the first forty-five minutes or so.
Kouros (Bourdon's masterpiece) is just out of f*cking sight, and for those who haven't figured it out, it is meant to be worn underneath your shirt and on your clothes. The same goes for many fragrances. Spraying it on your wrists and all that other girly stuff isn't the way to do it.
I also found out that the info about Bourdon being inspired by Orange Spice (which is included in my original review of Orange Spice) is a total load of BS.
Last edited by pluran; 22nd February 2008 at 03:17 AM. Reason: spelling due to lack of sleep
I wonder if thats also your opinion of many Ellena fragrances, which maybe use 8 ingredients at most and have a natural albeit sparse framework.
I don't know about the Bourdon being inspired by Orange Spice rumors but I would like to know where and by whom it was refuted or confirmed.
Pierre Bourdon copied Green Irish Tweed (Cool Water) as well as Orange Spice (Kouros) so that the average Joe on a budget could smell like a million bucks too.

Yes, I knew those two were copied for those reasons but I never knew the perfumer behind it so, thanks!
My nose says 'no!' in both cases. But maybe you can substantiate your allegation to be a little more convincing? Creed are always rather secretive about actual ingredients used.
There is a difference between copies and forward developments. All art, science, and business progresses that way! GIT and Cool Water are both popular fragrances, and have strong legs of their own. Cool Water, has been acknowledged by experts as the quintessential aqua, or one that other aquatic fragrances were based upon. The French Associataion of Perfumers celebrated P. Bourdon as an innovator, not top copier if I remember correctly. The idea that Yves SL and Bourdon would have felt inspired to come up with nothing better than a citrus (again) is simply absurd. No one put them under pressure either. 1950 and 1980 - that were two different generations, in fact different epochs altogether in Europe's fashion and perfume world (except for Creed maybe)! Orange Spice must have been too old a hat to copy for the eighties .
Michael Edwards describes Orange Spice (soft oriental, unisex) as follows: "Spicy and fruity with delicious orange. Aromatic, fresh, mysterious and spicy with a powdery dry down, for those who appreciate a long lasting citrus." I have nothing to add or take away from that. A fine, orange fragrance indeed, slightly spicy, and quite powdery. The same author describes Kouros, 'a chypre, spicy harmony' with similar precision: "The fragrance of the triumphant masculinity: a divine and conquering fragrance for a powerful and intense scent."
How is it possible that men in the whole world (not just freaks) still speak of, and buy Kouros while only a fraction of afficionados know of Orange Spice?

both are fantastic...Kouros was one of my first fragrances. It will always be a classic. Don´t matter what other Basenoters writes (piss and so on)...I would never come to this...some crazy noses out there or bad skin chemstry
GIT is a classic...suits to everybody, anytime, anywhere, anyhow!!!
it doesn't suit me, but i recognise it has quite a loyal following.

What absolute nonsense! It's hilarious that now Green Irish Tweed is being credited to some king. I always heard that it was made for Cary Grant. Recently, though, I think I read a post claiming it is Selection Verte that was made for Cary Grant. But then, how many times in the past have I heard that Selection Verte was actually made for Napoleon and then for Sigmund Freud? If the Creed public relations department is going to propagate this nonsense, then they should at least get their stories straight.
Don't know about the Kouros/Orange Spice "official connection" but for what its worth, even Luca Turin says that Cool Water is strongly inspired by GIT (Parfums Le Guide: 1994, page 21 and page 33)...in that same guide he has very positive reviews of GIT and Erolfa.
As to why more people know about Kouros? Perhaps the fact that Creed is a tiny company and until the early 2000s had very limited distribution has to do with it? Cool Water is also known to more people than GIT but to my nose there is no way its better than GIT.

Gents, this thread is about similarities and dissimilarities between specific products by YSL and Creed. I'd appreciate it if the discussion could continue about those two scents and what they are AS scents. I'd rather the discussion not become Creed promotions and sales methods.
Let's stick to the scents as smells on this one please.
That girl, that bottle, that mattress and me.
I remember a joke in the 80's heyday of Kouros: what's the difference between a man and a pig? Answer: A pig doesn't smell like a man when wearing Kouros. I'm sure what people are now smelling/enjoying is a reformulation of Kouros. It sure did smell like piss in the 80's from what my friends and I remember. Bourdon just cleaned it up a bit to cater to the mass market and enjoy an early retirement. Now it really smells like a ripoff of Orange Spice.

Unfortunately money can't buy good taste or humility.
If Kouros was created for average joes to smell like a million bucks then Bourdon is a success in his effort.
Orange Spice is wonderful as well, a little more understated IMO.
I smell a similarity, although I'm only going by a sample of Orange Spice. Must get a full bottle of this...:-)
I wear Kouros more often but there are times when Orange Spice would be a better fit, particularly under more formal circumstances. Kouros can be a beast to me, while Orange Spice can feel like Kouros after some etiquette lessons, a new wardrobe and a small fortune inherited from a distant relative.
They're both great and somewhat alike to my Neanderthal nose (pluran is right that Kouros is more fougere while OS is more oriental), but I think Kouros is different enough not to be a mere carbon copy.

I agree. My wardrobe consists of moderately priced fragrances to the very expensive. I find myself reaching more for the moderately priced. Does this mean that for me price makes a difference? No. It means that there are alot of exceptionally wonderful fragrances out there that shakes the core foundation of many niche and expensive fragrances. Some of my expensive frags are listed in my drobe and some are not. However, for days now, I have been reaching, longing for my Jazz. I wished they made matching shower products.
I am about to contact a boutique in regard to the purchase of Kouros, that is, if I can get the nerve!
Feuille Verte by Creed is another scent just begging to be ripped off. There were only 100 flacons released on Father's Day 2006 for $375. That's it. It's an unbelievable fragrance that seems well ahead of it's time. I'm sure the people at Bond have their paws on a sample right now and are working day and night to copy it. In 10 or 20 years when Creed finally releases Feuille Verte as part of their regular collection, some wiseguy will say "That smells just like Bond xxx". Someone else will chime in "No, Creed actually released that first back in 2006 and Bond copied it". And these debates will go on and on and on and on...
Perfumers copy each other. Always have, always will. Kouros and Cool Water are no exception.
Very interesting.
Kouros and Orange Spice. Great pieces of living life, no?
That girl, that bottle, that mattress and me.
"Copying" and moving down-market are how the entire fashion industry works.
[I] recall thinking that the computer would never advance much further than this. Call me naïve, but I seemed to have underestimated the universal desire to sit in a hard plastic chair and stare at a screen until your eyes cross. ~ David Sedaris
I said it before and I will say it again, Feuille Verte is a very fine, fine fragrance. It smells soooo wonderful. I had the money to get it, signed bottle and all. After testing it in Neimans, I could only live in it's glory for all of 5 minutes. I just couldn't pay $400 for that kind of longevity no matter how dam good it smelled.
Back to kouros, I am still trying to get the nerves worked up.
In case you didn't notice, Dr. Turin never bothers writing negative reviews, he just ignores such perfumes. I am doubly grateful for that, now that we have others who enjoy doing exactly the opposite. GIT ('predecssor') and Cool Water (émule', which stands for 'emulator, one taking after…, imitator in English) are mentioned together again in the review of 'Photo', p. 59 of Le Guide. Also his reviews of Jazz and Tsar refer back to Green Irish Tweed. To discover and describe olfactive connections, rather than playing one perfumer against another, that's the spirit! As actually two other perfumes were the main topic here: Dr.Turin also had friendly words for Orange Spice, I remember. I have just forgotten where. But the best review I have seen written of Kouros can also be found in Le Guide* (p. 41).
For those seriously interested in matters of plagiarism and artistic liberty I recommend this article by Luca Turin.
J-C Elena also talks about this, as a most credible insider, in Ch. Burrs new book: The Perfect Scent / Henry Holt & Company

Well, I dont think copied or ripoff are the right words. I prefer Samplermikes logic in NearFantasticas Joop revelation thread, http://community.basenotes.net/showthread.php?t=206305, where he says:
Odd that negative terms and lawsuits come up. I dont know why complimentary descriptions didnt come up. Like a modern version of Orange Spice. Thats the way to phrase it.
I can see where one might draw a linear connection between Original Santal and Joop but I don't believe they are alike. I can't tolerate either of them. That is the similarity I draw.
That comment is a little too fanboy like for me for I definitely disagree there - slamming Creed fragrances for their lightness in light of (no pun intended) Ellena fragrances with brittle construction and muted presence like au The Verte, Declaration, Angelique sous, Cologne Bigarade, Paprika Brasil and Brin de Reglisse is interesting. But we all have different opinions and I guess we are going off topic here.
Narcus, I agree with your observations on the differences in classification of Orange Spice and Kouros by Edwards; Kouros has a more congested and different drydown. As for Turins reviews, I was a bit suprised by his positive comments on GIT, Erolfa and BdP because I view him as very anti-Villoresi and anti-Creed.

I've owned both and found them similar but different enough to make it worth owning both. Orange Spice smells a bit cleaner but interestingly enough I don't smell much orange in it. I don't think Kouros is "dirty" like many say but to me it is more interesting than Orange Spice.
Oriscent, AgarAura Pure Ouds, Creed, LIDGE, Patou Pour Homme, tons of niche and rare stuff for sale!
It is not true.
Find an article about some lawsuits dealing with L`Oreal fragrances like Dune and its Bellure copies.
It is just the very first case, I believe.
I want to see more, by the way. But by any means - Kouros YSL and Bourdon is in the hall of fame (Fifi awards, as far as I can recollect), but Orange Spice and Creed did not get any prizes or awards.
But you can give him your own prize - that will be nice
Vetiver The Great!!!
i think its funny that kouros has such a loyal following. I have tried it many times and it smells like shit on me...literally. I would get the same effect if i deficated and then just didnt wipe...sorry to be graphic, but imo thats what kouros smells like...or like you have dog feces on your shoe.
More importantly, it still strikes me every time when i read that this frag is the baby making frag of choice. It surprises me that women like this frag. A lot of you have agreed that the fecal note exists in this one and yet for some reason ladies still dig it.
I have not tried Creed OS, but next time i go to saks, I am going to try it.

LOL! And I suppose MKK and Kiehls Musk smell wonderful to you from previous posts? Crazy how all our perceptions are so different. But that is what makes the board so special. I could get graphic too on how MKK and Kiehls Musk smell to me, but I prefer to say, they just didn't work for me, but they obviously work for others.
ha ha...yeah, body chemistry is such a crazy thing. Your right, MKK is my holy grail and i love kiehls to death...but its funny that kiehls smells better on my friend than on me....I think i will give kouros another try and see whats what, but now my interest level is high on Orange Spice!
I've never seen a Creed advertisement if my memory serves me. I wish I has a dime for every Cool Water ad I've seen in glossy magazines.
and except for cigar aficionados who ever heard of Davidoff before Cool Water?
in the broadest sense no body in the "arts" copies originals. They use them as "inspiration"

Kouros - how cud one hate this...the classic is made in the same vain as is polo classic...not similar smell but the drift...i just love every colonge released to date by kouros & YSL...they have the most unusual notes in them..
I did try it out on my arm. I liked it a lot. Different from the other Creeds. Wound up getting Original Santal though. Orange Spice might be my next Creed purchase. I does smell like Kouros.
Yes, there were no awards those times. That`s sure.
I`m rather would believe that Orange Spice was created in 1948, than it wasn`t good enough to deserve some good words since then. 60 years! Jubilee!!!
Well, more seriously.
Usually I keep an eye on awards - it helps to know flows and tendencies, and sometimes gave another chance for the perfumes unfairly forgotten. And it happens and works with me & Kouros.
Best regards to you and your nose
Vetiver The Great!!!

Norrköping used to be the centre of the Swedish textile and paper industry in the 19th century, but it has rapidly transformed from an industrial city to a vital city of culture. The red brick factory buildings along the banks of the Motala Ström River now house an extensive range of museums and terrace restaurants, as well as the beautiful Louis de Geer concert hall. The idyllic landscape of the beautifully restored industrial area split by canals is crowned by the spectacular Kungsfallet waterfall.
Other sights worth seeing in Norrköping, known as the Manchester of Sweden, include the city museum, a cactus park and the Arbetets Museum (the museum of work). Children will find the Kolmården Zoo the best part of their holiday. The largest zoo in the Nordic Countries has a dolphinarium and a safari park where visitors can observe animals from their cars.
The airport is located 4 km east of Norrköping.

Over 2,000 falls in two Cumbrian hospitals
Last updated at 20:50, Thursday, 17 May 2012
More than 2,000 people have suffered falls at north Cumbria's two main hospitals in two years.
The figures were revealed in a response from health minister Simon Burns to Workington MP Tony Cunningham.
Mr Cunningham had demanded more information after it was revealed that four people had died at the hospitals after suffering falls.
In total 1,058 falls were reported to the National Patient Safety Agency in 2010, followed by 1,067 in 2011.
The deaths, which happened at the West Cumberland Hospital in Whitehaven and Carlisle's Cumberland Infirmary during September and October last year, were revealed in documents leaked to BBC Radio Cumbria.
A Freedom of Information request by the radio station revealed that, in September and October 2011, 29 people were injured in falls compared with nine in the same period of 2010.
Injuries ranged from fractures to bumps, grazes, cuts and bruises.
But the figures sent to Mr Cunningham reveal that far more people suffered falls overall.
In September 2010 there were 71 falls, with 80 the next month.
Eighty-four falls were reported in September 2011, with 84 in October 2011.
Mr Cunningham said he was concerned about the figures and would like to see more done to reduce the numbers.
A hospitals trust spokeswoman said the increase did not necessarily mean the number of actual falls was rising, as the National Patient Safety Agency encouraged trusts to report all incidents.
She said: "The NPSA is regularly seeing an increase in incidents reported year on year, which is actually a sign of a culture that is growing in awareness of patient safety."
Improvements had been made to falls assessments and follow-ups. Information boards about falls risks had been put up to raise awareness among patients, staff and relatives, and refresher training had been given to staff.
Each fall resulting in a fracture is investigated and formally reviewed to ensure lessons are shared, and the trust is also focusing on its work with dementia patients to reduce their fall risks.
Mr Cunningham said: "I welcome the work being done but much more needs to be done to make sure the number of falls is reduced to as low as possible."
He said he would write again to trust bosses to make sure that was done.

Have your say
How sad this story is. An elderly relative of mine in WCH recovering from minor surgery and due to be discharged, fell on her way to the bathroom. She actually fell due to a heap of zimmers being left by the foot of her bed and worse than this, she lay for many moments before being found and helped into her bed. I questioned a nurse who said she was just fine. Upon her release, she was seen by her doctor who diagnosed muscle injury to her shoulder and hip. It took her 6 weeks to recover. Assuming this to be a rare event, I never took it any further but now I wish I had. The ward in particular was under staffed and frankly the nurses had more time to stand in the corridor arguing, than tending the elderly patients. Granted, at visiting times they probably do have free time, but it sets such a bad impression. There are some wonderful and dedicated nurses - but they weren't there when my relative needed them.

Two devices that delay passage to controlled-access areas at Y-12 recently received significant developmental boosts. The Access Rate Control System (ARCS) and the Delayed Latching Mechanism (DLM) were licensed in February by Knoxville start-up Sustainable Environment Technologies, LLC (SET). About five weeks later, Y-12 and the licensee signed a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA).
The ARCS is a kit designed for installation on existing or new full-height turnstiles. It generates resistance and slows entry if someone enters at faster-than-normal speed. The DLM slows unlatching of gates and doors from the outside, requiring a sequence of actions to retract the latch and giving security personnel time to prevent the door or gate from opening if necessary.
Y-12 President and General Manager Darrel Kohlhorst voiced support to SET President Dan Hurst, said, "Once we know that something we have invented works, we want to make it possible for someone else to use it. It's our job not only to facilitate a license but also to work with the licensee to get it off the ground. If we are using these devices, there is no reason they are not at every one of the NNSA sites."
Anticipated markets include other U.S. Department of Energy facilities, commercial nuclear facilities, pharmaceutical manufacturers, correctional facilities, and large sporting venues. Both devices were invented by senior technical advisor and National Security Technology Center director Lee Bzorgi, whom Popular Science magazine has called "DOE's Gadget Guru" because of his numerous inventions.

The last scheduled shipments of remote-handled (RH) transuranic (TRU) waste left Sandia National Laboratories' New Mexico location on Wednesday, May 2, headed directly for permanent disposal in the Department of Energy's (DOE) Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) near Carlsbad, N.M. These shipments end Sandia's final stage in DOE's Legacy TRU Waste Program, which works to safely remove such waste from sites throughout the DOE complex.

RSL is a national leader in radiological emergency response, nuclear and radiological detection, and related technology and electronics development. Looking on are (l-r) Michael Mohar, senior manager with RSL; Ray Juzaitis, president of NSTec; Cheryl Oar, acting director of Global Security for NSTec; Alan Will, manager of RSL; Keith Hughes, senior caseworker for Congressman Heck; and Mike Butchko, chief operating officer for NSTec. NSTec manages and operates the Nevada National Security Site and related facilities for the NNSA's Nevada Site Office.
How can government partner with the private sector to control sensitive nuclear technology without blocking legitimate commerce? How could social media be used to target information-driven arms control and nonproliferation? How are nuclear disarmament dynamics shifting?
These were just a few of the intriguing topics that 90 participants tackled at a nuclear security forum on April 18-19. The event, attended by representatives from seven countries, was part of the Project on Nuclear Issues (PONI), an activity of the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS). CSIS was recently ranked the world's top security and international affairs "think tank" by a well-respected annual assessment from the University of Pennsylvania.
Rising experts in the nuclear security field presented research findings on nuclear weapons issues and shared information in interactive forums. Speakers covered work that was funded by NNSA and other agencies. Graduate students from 12 universities also participated, advancing a PONI goal of building a networked community of young nuclear experts. Warren Stern, Director of the Domestic Nuclear Detection Office at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, provided keynote remarks at the meeting.
This year's event was held at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and DOE's Volpentest HAMMER Training and Education Center. During tours, participants experienced an up-close-and-personal view of technologies and facilities to counter nuclear terrorism, prevent proliferation, and verify arms control regimes.
The Nevada Site Office and contractor National Security Technologies recently celebrated the 10,000th sortie aircraft flight from their Remote Sensing Lab (RSL) in southern Nevada in support of Nevada National Security Site (NNSS) missions.

A conservation garden that features a rare, endangered plant native to the Savannah River Site (SRS) was dedicated today at the Mixed Oxide (MOX) Fuel Fabrication Facility in celebration of Earth Day last week. The MOX Conservation Garden is located at the entrance of the MOX project's administration building and was established to promote the preservation and awareness of a federally endangered plant species, the smooth purple coneflower. The MOX administrative building, where the conservation garden is located, is certified as a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold building. The building is the first at SRS to be LEED Gold Certified. Two additional buildings of the MOX project will pursue certification.
Other SRS plant species in the conservation garden include scaly blazing star, sky-blue lupine and beargrass. Another unique feature of the garden are the stone that were created from cobblestones collected near the MOX construction site that were deposited by high-energy rivers more than 10 million years ago.
Nearly 100 sons and daughters of DOE and NNSA employees participated in today's "Bring our Daughters and Sons to Work" day. The event is geared for children to see what their parents do when at work, and it is also is intended to start a conversation about his or her own future. This year, the foundation that created this event is celebrating its 20th anniversary. Several activities planned for the DOE event include face painting, fitness activities, educational programs include a health and nutrition talk and a presentation on solar energy.
The Physical Sciences Facility Project, funded in part by NNSA, recently received the DOE Secretary's Award of Excellence in Project Management. Deputy Energy Secretary Daniel Poneman presented the award to DOE's Pacific Northwest Site Office and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL). Deputy Secretary Poneman stands at left in the photo, next to DOE's Chad Henderson, PNNL's Jeff Pittman, and DOE officials Marcus Jones, Daniel Lehman and Ingrid Kolb.
The seven-year, $224 million project was co-funded by NNSA and other federal agencies. It was managed by an integrated team consisting of the DOE's Office of Science, the NNSA, the Department of Homeland Security, and PNNL.
The 200,000-square-foot complex houses unique, state-of-the-art equipment to support national and homeland security and energy research missions, particularly the development and advancement of radiation detection technologies. Scientists use the Radiation Detection and Ultra-Trace laboratories to help identify weapons of mass destruction and terrorist activities. The Large Detector Laboratory and accompanying Test Track are used to develop and test radiation detection technologies for deployment. Entrenched 40 feet below ground is the Underground Lab, which supports homeland and national security missions in radiation detection. The complex also includes a Materials Science & Technology Laboratory to develop and test high-performance materials used in future energy, construction, and transportation technologies and systems.
The facility project, which was completed ahead of schedule and within budget, allowed for a smooth transition of a large group of PNNL researchers and equipment to new facilities while minimizing impacts to mission-critical research.
DOE gives the award annually to management teams that have demonstrated exceptional results in completing a project within cost and schedule.
For the second year in a row, B&W Pantex has been selected as the recipient of a prestigious national award from the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), winning the 2012 Frances Perkins Vanguard Award in recognition of its work with women-owned small businesses.
Last year, Pantex won the Dwight D. Eisenhower Award for excellence in utilization of small businesses.
"To be honored two years in a row by the SBA is a tremendous accomplishment," said B&W Pantex General Manager John Woolery. "These awards validate our commitment to financial stewardship and to the support of small businesses throughout the local area."
Pantex officials announced the award win at Corporate Technology Group (CTG), one of the women-owned small businesses Pantex works with in Amarillo, Texas. CTG was founded in Amarillo in 1981 as a computer and information technology service company. It now has offices in Amarillo and Arlington, Texas, and employs about 20 people.
The Perkins award was created in 1963 and is named after Frances Perkins, the U.S. Secretary of Labor under President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Secretary Perkins was the first woman appointed to head a U.S. Cabinet post.
B&W Pantex consistently exceeds goals for direction of contracting work to businesses owned by disadvantaged groups. In fiscal year 2011, Pantex spent $19,897,945 with women-owned small businesses, a total of 17.8 percent of the $112 million in subcontracting dollars spent that year, nearly double the performance goal of 9 percent set by the Department of Energy.

This is the second year in a row that Pantex has been honored with a national award from the SBA for its support of small businesses. CTG, an Amarillo-based woman-owned small business, has been working with Pantex for more than two decades as a subcontractor.

Inside a muffler is a series of tubes with holes as finely tuned as an instrument, reflecting sound waves to nearly eliminate noise.
Keep an ear out for funny exhaust sounds: If you hear something, say something.
Loose or missing exhaust hangers cause a rattling underneath your car. (It's an easy fix for us).
Missing hangers can cause the entire exhaust to fall off, which is much more expensive than replacing a hanger or two.
Catalytic converters turn harmful pollutants into less harmful emissions before they leave your car.
A failing catalytic converter might trigger your check engine light or sound like someone's shaking a box of rocks under your car.
Driving with a leaky muffler or bad catalytic converter can lead to more expensive repairs.
When your exhaust leaks, your engine works harder, which requires more fuel.

good news
so practically as soon as we have GTK+ running in wayland we'll be able to have Gnome and XFCE right?? (or at least most of the apps)
Phoronix: The State Of The Wayland Display Server
Last year the Wayland Display Server project was started by Kristian Hogsberg, a Red Hat developer and a name known well within the X.Org community for his work on AIGLX, Direct Rendering Infrastructure 2, and various other projects. We were first to talk about the Wayland Display Server in detail, which aims to provide a mini display server that is designed around the latest X/kernel technologies like the Graphics Execution Manager and kernel mode-setting. Wayland also integrates its own compositing manager and is designed to produce a perfect frame (a.k.a. no tearing) each and every time. There has not been much to report on this project recently, but we now have a status update courtesy of Kristian.
good news
so practically as soon as we have GTK+ running in wayland we'll be able to have Gnome and XFCE right?? (or at least most of the apps)
Does this mean that in the future a Wayland could be helping in providing graphics for some of the windows in a running X.org server?He is also looking at the possibility of running a rootless X Server on Wayland so that Wayland can pull windows from the X Server into the currently running Wayland server session. This feature would be very interesting.
There has been a lot buzz on hybrid graphics and it's status in Linux. Is it possible that in the future a Wayland server could be plugged to the hot-switchable graphics card in the laptop, that is turned on/off without reboot depending on the required tasks, whereas the main X.org could be using the other graphics card?
Other way around - Wayland would be rendering and compositing the desktop, but this would only let you use client drawn apps. So there would be an X server running rootless so you could use legacy apps. The X applications would then be pulled from the X server and would be composted with the normal ones.
It would be a lot like how Mac OS X handles X applications.
Excellent news, +1 up for GTK+, GNOME, and its derivatives .
Great news, looking forward to see in what direction this excellent project evolves.
+1 more for QT4.
Honestly though, *whatever* encourages maximum effective development on upgrading X.org's creaky display server. If getting GTK up gets a mass of developers extending Wayland so it survives and thrives and becomes the modern display server Linux needs... well, I'll be happy.
Of course I'll be even happier when QT4 is added to the mix. (I love me some KDE 4, I do)
If Wayland can integrate ALL of X's functionality, and even do it rootless, seamless and unnoticably, it has a great future
All of Wayland's advantages, along with those of X.. *drool*

I might build a new system and I'd probably want a sound card rather than rely on only onboard sound (probably would be realtek but I think there are some others that have oboard sound, VIA?).
Anyway, I like that people are debating the X-Fi v.s. other cards since I was considering Creative X-Fi when it was reported there is support in Linux soon (newer kernel, 2.6.30 or 2.6.31?). But, I'm still wary.
That's why I am looking at Auzentech cards and the HT Omega series such as the Striker. What about those? There is a lot of comparison but it would be good, imho, if the actual card name could be mentioned and maybe approx. price? I'm leaning towards the HT Omega Striker and although it's a bit more than I'd like to spend on a sound card, it seems to get good reviews and I think it's compatible in Linux?
Oh yeah, I looked at the ALSA compatibility page and not all cards (from a manufacturer is listed) so I have spent some time researching the chipset. However, I find it confusing as each page states you need to complie this or that. I didn't think many of them needed compiling. I am guessing that the (C-Media) CMI chipset is good and maybe some others?

Yeah, I saw this the other day and forgot I saw it. I did enjoy it but seeing it didn't stick with me. I spent all day trying to remember what I did yesterday and totally forgot I went and saw this. I had a few nitpicks like Hopkins coming off as a bad impression of Walter Bishop and a few others that I can't even remember. It was okay - I guess.
But I did see Only God Forgives today and I loved it. But if you hated Drive then don't go see it. It's very slow burn and there's hardly any dialouge in it.

Thanks Dallas for the informative reply. I enjoyed reading it thoroughly. Especially the part about the whiskey on the mantle ! Also, the part of step 12 as the Foundation and the 12th tradition reads that it is the spiritual foundation of the traditions. A parallel there indeed.
My sponsor told me to not get too hung up on words and three letters -ing- on a word. SHe also said not everyone has read the book and to remember that! The steps are an oral tradition for some.
Hi MLK- The serving others and God hit home. I cannot believe I not only feel I must serve God I actually WANT to serve God. Huge difference- I used to defy and resent and even hate God!

Eau de Toilette Spray
The top note is almost cold through the presence of a fused spicy note combined with the freshness of bergamot. Then come sumptuous, silky soft notes of white flower. At the heart lies quintessentially elegant iris, a flower with woody overtones. The base opens onto a note of oak moss which is the hallmark of the elegance of chypre fragrances, associated with patchouli. Deep, vibrant and intense, patchouli accompanies the floral note to create a mysterious and exciting trail which leaves quite remarkable presence.

I also have been wearing Y since the early 80's and it is the only fragrance I still prefer.
I haven't noticed a huge change in it however, it still smells the same to me.
I am guessing the lotion may have not been a big seller as to why the stoppedaking it.
I use the original Oil Of Olay lotion in the pink white and black box and it really goes well with the Y. Jan 17, 2015

TSP mulls mutual-fund option
Tuesday - 10/23/2012, 8:27pm EDT
Kim Weaver, director of external affairs, Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board
Just five months after the Thrift Savings Plan's new Roth option launched, the Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board, which manages the TSP, is mulling whether to add a new offering to federal employees' (401)k-style retirement plan: a mutual fund window.
The board addressed that topic at its monthly meeting Monday, Kim Weaver, the director of external affairs, told In Depth with Francis Rose. However, the board is still studying the issue, Weaver said, and no changes are imminent.
Option would expand investment options
The mutual fund window would allow participants to move investments out of the TSP funds they've invested in and into a private-sector suite of mutual funds.
The 2009 Thrift Savings Plan Enhancement Act updated the TSP to include automatic enrollment and immediate agency matching contributions as well as the Roth option. On the issue of a mutual fund window, it left the door open — authorizing the board to consider one — without specifically requiring any action.
The option would expand participants' investment options, which federal employees have called for in the past.
"There have been, over the years, a whole host of proposals for specific TSP funds," Weaver said. "There are terror-free funds, socially responsible investing, gold funds ... You name it, there've been people who've wanted specific TSP funds."
But in expanding those options, the board wants to ensure it maintains the TSP's simplicity.
"One of the geniuses of the TSP is that it is a really simple plan with limited funds ... And we have always been careful to guard that and make that low-cost option available to our participants," Weaver said.
No 'pent-up demand' for the plan yet
And there's still a long process ahead, Weaver said. "No one should be expecting that by Christmas this is going to be something that's available," she added.
So far, Weaver said, employee groups and unions on the Employee Thrift Advisory Council are not "sensing any pent-up demand" for the option. But the board will continue to study the issue over the next year, examining how the mutual fund window works in private-sector retirement plans as well as how costs would be distributed to participants.
Fee disclosure will take up a large part of the deliberations.
The Labor Department is adamant that 401(k) plans, both public and private, publicize fees to their participants. In the TSP, fees now make up less less than 50 cents per $1,000 invested, Weaver said.
"So, one of the challenges we would have is if money were going to go outside the TSP into a private-sector suite of mutual funds, we would have to make sure that those participants realized the cost differential," she said.
Roth TSP going strong
Weaver said the board has been pleased by the robust investments made in the Roth option, which rolled out in May, with staggered launch dates coming later for DoD civilians and the military. The rollout was delayed because various payroll departments across the government needed more time to prepare their systems to process the transactions.
By the end of September, 51,354 federal employees had made Roth TSP contributions, with a total value of $48.7 million.
"So, as we had hoped, there has been a slow and steady uptick in Roth participation," Weaver said.
TSP contribution limit increases in 2013
