SANTA CRUZ -- Police detective Elizabeth Butler, gunned down Tuesday while conducting an investigation on North Branciforte Avenue, loved to cook, hike, ride roller coasters and spend time with her partner Peter Wu and their sons Joaquin, 5, and Stellan, 2.
Just last weekend, the family of four hung out a local beach, a family member said.
Butler, 38, moved to Santa Cruz in 1992 to attend UC Santa Cruz, where she earned a degree in community studies in 1996.
Butler -- the daughter of the late Gerald Butler and Louise Butler, who recently moved to Santa Cruz -- grew up in Lomita, a small town near Los Angeles.
She attended Catholic high school Bishop Montgomery in nearby Torrance, where she was known as Beth and participated on the volleyball and track teams.
Ron Jenkins, who taught Butler history at Bishop Montgomery, remembered the former student vividly after he saw Butler's senior portrait posted on the high school's website Wednesday as a tribute to Tuesday's horrific shooting that took Butler's life along with detective Sgt. Loran "Butch" Baker.
"She was a great kid -- outgoing, bright," Jenkins said. "Beth was always friendly, she always connected with her teachers. She stood out."
Butler met her partner Peter Wu, a Santa Cruz Metro District bus driver, at a ceramics class in San Francisco, where she lived after college.
Butler joined the Santa Cruz Police Department in 2002 after graduating from San Jose's Evergreen Police Academy.
In her 10 years with the Santa Cruz Police Department, Butler served as a patrol officer, a hostage negotiator, a downtown foot and bicycle officer, an agent with the county drug task force, and a detective.
She was friendly yet stern in her interactions.
In 2005, the Sentinel profiled Butler while she patrolled Pacific Avenue. She described her job as a mix of public relations and fighting crime.
Police Chief Kevin Vogel said Butler found her niche as a sexual assault investigator.
"She really had a passion for what she did. She had a huge heart," Vogel said. "She just developed a rapport with the women, with the survivors of sexual assault crimes. She had an uncanny ability to investigate these crimes and see justice was done."
Two weeks ago, Butler was part of the team investigating the shooting of a 21-year-old college student during a robbery at a Westside bus stop.
Butler gave testimony in an April 2012 preliminary hearing of a man accused of killing Santa Cruz resident Heather Stearns and leaving her body in his apartment for days. The man, John Bruce Clauer, still awaits trial on first-degree murder charges.
Santa Cruz County District Attorney Bob Lee said Butler had worked closely with his office on many cases, including the Clauer case.
Lee said his prosecutors had gotten off the phone with Butler just a few hours before she was killed.
"She had extreme passion," Lee said. "She worked countless sexual assault cases. She was extremely diligent and extremely passionate about the victims in those cases."
In an interview with the Daily Breeze newspaper in Torrance, Alexis Butler said her sister was drawn to a career in law enforcement out of a desire to help people and use her ability to speak Spanish.
Alexis Butler said police work was perfect for Elizabeth because she "really liked to investigate things."
Handling sex crimes, Butler excelled at conducting interviews and interrogations, and interviewing children, her sister said.
Butler never became depressed, despite the nature of her work, Alexis Butler said.
"She ended up being a really good police officer. She loved the job," Alexis Butler said. "My sister believed in the innate goodness of people. She didn't dwell on it."
Elizabeth Butler completed her field project for UCSC at the Beach Flats Community Center, where she worked with young Latino students and decided to find a career that would benefit the local community.
Former Mayor Mike Rotkin, retired from the UCSC community studies program, worked closely with Butler on her field project.
"She really was a sweetheart and very community-minded," Rotkin said. "Her schoolwork prepped her for working in the community. She was serving the community in the best way."

The F-35s, which Lockheed Martin is developing with Northrop Grumman Corp. and Britain's BAE Systems, aren't expected to be delivered until 2016 but the Israeli air force needs to build an entire infrastructure to maintain the jets once they're operational.
That includes selecting a base from which the first squadron will operate and constructing hardened shelters, underground pens and maintenance facilities.
Israel signed a $2.75 billion contract for the original order of 19 F-35s in October 2010 and the air force is keen to order jets for a second squadron. Ultimately, the air force wants least 75 F-35s -- costing up to $15.2 billion -- to maintain its long-held air supremacy in the Middle East over the next two decades.
It's not hard to see why.
Over the next few years, the air force's main strike jets, Lockheed Martin F-16 Fighting Falcons and Boeing F-15 Eagles, some of which have been operational for three decades, will be become obsolete. The Israeli air force currently flies 27 F-15I "Raam" Strike Eagles and 102 F-16I "Sufa" fighters as its high-end strike force.
These are supported by 72 F-15A-D Eagles and 224 F-16A-D Fighting Falcons, which form the backbone of the air force, making Israel the second largest F-16 operator after the United States.
The multi-role F-35s, with their advanced power plants, radars, missile systems and avionics, will replace these older jets but won't enlarge the air force.
The Israelis' enthusiasm for the F-35 has been tempered by repeated development program failures and cost-overruns that have delayed production schedules at Lockheed Martin and cast doubts on delivery dates.
And the cost per aircraft keeps rising. The Pentagon's original estimate of $395.7 billion to develop and produce 2,443 F-35s through the mid-2030s is 70 percent up on the initial contract with Lockheed Martin signed in 2001.
"It's unbelievable," a senior Israeli officer told Defense News. "First it was $40 million to $50 million per plane and then they told us $70 million to $80 million. Now we're looking at nearly three times that amount and who's to say it won't continue to climb?"
Israel's defense industry could reap major contracts under a reported agreement by the Pentagon and Lockheed Martin to install Israeli-made electronic warfare systems in the F-35I, the designation of the Israeli versions of the JSF.
Sources familiar with the negotiations say the program is worth $450 million to Israeli defense contractors for the first batch of F-35s.
Israel has been pressing the Pentagon and Lockheed to allow them to install Israeli electronic equipment, including electronic countermeasures, command systems, radios and datalinks, to integrate Israeli-made weapons systems into the F-35s it buys.
The Israelis usually insist on that and got their way with their fleets of F-15Is and F-16Is but on this project, with various versions of the F-35 due to equip the U.S. Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps, the Americans have been more reluctant than usual to give Israel access to the F-35's software code that's required to integrate non-U.S. systems.
"Based on the order options it has committed to, Israel is expecting to share about $1 billion worth of buyback related to the F-35 program," Defense Update magazine reported.
"The system integration deal ... will allow an increased participation by Israeli industries in the JSF program."
Among the companies likely to benefit are state-owned Israel Aerospace Industries which will build wings for the aircraft. Another is Elrisa, a subsidiary of the leading electronic equipment manufacturer Elbit Systems, the air force's main electronic warfare systems supplier.
Meantime, the air force is getting ready to absorb the 30 Alenia Aermacchi M-346 Master combat trainers acquired under a $1 billion deal in 2012. These will replace the air force's venerable Douglas A-4 Skyhawks acquired in the 1970s. The first nine M346s are scheduled to arrive in summer 2014.
"It's still not clear whether 30 aircraft will be enough to train all the combat pilots we want to train," a senior air force officer noted.

This article is part of UnNews | Where man always bites dog |
3 February 2013
LONDON, United Kingdom --
The growing scandal of horse meat being found in meals marketed as 'pure beef' has spread to Buckingham Palace. Scotland Yard has confirmed that an investigation of Queen Elizabeth II's royal kitchens uncovered a freezer full of food which was genetically checked and to be revealed to be horse meat.
Following news that Tesco, Burger King and other outlets had been selling mislabelled meat, investigators were tipped off that some 'funny food' was being served to guests at Buckingham Palace. The revelation that the British Royal family were eating - as well as riding- their horses has shocked animal lovers.
"I love the Queen," said one super patriot outside the gates of Buckingham Palace, "but if they are eating horses in there - I will become a republican overnight. It is worse than unethical..it makes them French!"
A spokesman for Buckingham Palace said the police investigation was 'routine' and that the royal kitchens were methodical in checking the origins of all food delivered there.
"The British Royal family have not eaten horse meat for centuries. Suggestions that they are doing it in secret is completely unfounded. I know they would rather eat their dogs than touch a horse with a silver knife and fork."
Inspectors say they did find a lot of horse DNA in the kitchens and suggest it may have existed in the food chain there ever since Buckingham Palace was built in the early 19th century. Suggestions that 'latent horse' had got into the Royal family was dismissed as 'manure' by an angry Princess Anne.

14.10.2012 /
Red Bull KTM factory rider and MX2 World Champion Jeffrey Herlings on Sunday took victory in the notoriously difficult Weston Beach Race at Weston-super-Mare in the west of England.
It was the first time that the Dutch teenager had competed in the race where literally hundreds of riders compete right next to the ocean in the spectacular, once a year event.
Jeffrey Herlings won the grueling three-hour race by a margin of three minutes after making just two refueling stops. UK rider Shaun Simpson was second and third was Herlings' KTM factory teammate Ken de Dycker of Belgium, who was a late entry to the race.
De Dycker took an early lead on his KTM 450 SX-F and was strong over the sand hills but he hit a boggy patch and went over the handlebars. An eventual four pit stops also put him back at third when the checkered flag dropped. Simpson went into the lead after de Dycker's crash but in the melee of hundreds of riders he too crashed and was forced to stop to check that all was well with his machine. Herlings then moved up to the front and with his hallmark skill on the sand and some clever tactics, was able to make it stick.
Herlings said he had not really known what to expect at this first outing at Weston Beach. "I took it slowly at the beginning so I could find some good lines," he said. "There was a lot of water on the track at the beginning but it dried out as the race went on." He confirmed that the first hour of constantly tackling the sand hill jumps was tough going but said he felt more comfortable on his favorite surface as the race progressed. "I was able to make just two pit stops but many of the other riders had to make three."
The Dutch teenager, who won the MX2 World championship on the light and nimble KTM 250 SX-F opted for the bigger KTM 450 SX-F for Weston Beach. "It was fun to ride and it was great to have a bit more power on the long straight along next to the sea."
De Dycker said later that his race had been okay. "But on the first lap I was a bit crazy and tried to jump things that just weren't possible. I crashed a few times and my bike got stuck but it was a really fun race and I've never done anything like that before."
Organizers estimated the crowd attending the 30th anniversary of the beach race at 65,000 and some 500 were on the starting line for the race that is not only a test of skill but also of endurance.
Results 30th Edition Weston Beach Race
1. Jeffrey Herlings (NL), KTM
2. Shaun Simpson (UK)
3. Ken de Dycker (B), KTM

RATINGS: 221 WEIGHTED AVG: 3.46 SEASONAL: Spring IBU: 65 EST. CALORIES: 192 ABV: 6.4%
COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION Alaskans spring seasonal release is a new beer experience created from a combination of traditional beer styles. Alaskan Black IPA has the appearance of a porter or stout but combines the roasted malty characters with the refreshing flavor and bright aroma of an American IPA. Alaskans spring seasonal features the hop-forward profile of an IPA with the dark black color and flavors of a fuller-bodied porter. A burst of fresh, citrus notes from Cascade and Centennial hops balance the hints of coffee and bitter chocolate with a subtle toasted sweetness and dark fruit highlights leading to a pleasantly dry finish. The Black IPA style is also known as American-style India Black Ale or Cascadian Dark Ale, and though we still may not know what to call it, we do know its dark, hoppy and we cant get enough of it. Alaskan first shared their take on this new style with the limited Pilot Series release of Alaskan Double Black IPA. This spring release is a more sessionable version with the same surprising balance between hops and roasted malts. Alaskan Black IPA is made from glacier-fed water, generous additions of Cascade, Centennial and other Pacific Northwest hops, and an array of eight different pale, caramel and chocolate malts. The combination of big citrus and dark malt flavors make Alaskan Black IPA an outstanding pairing beer for dishes that combine sweet and savory. This includes everything from chocolate & ancho-chipotle rubbed pork, fried chicken and waffles or curried chocolate.

47 Quick and Easy Holiday Decorating Ideas
Create a scene [1]
Make a charming winter scene inside a glass bowl using faux snow, spruce or fir spigs, and props such as artificial birds and a nest (from crafts stores), along with mini ornaments.
Play with paper [4]
Turn holiday-theme scrapbooking papers into an inexpensive tabletop display. Cut and fold papers to create simple cone "trees" of different sizes. Secure seams with double-sided tape.
Go step-by-step [7]
Spell out holiday greetings on tree containers that climb the stairs. We made paper letter ornaments for white ironstone pitchers and pots and planted a lacy Goldcrest cypress tree in each.
Showcase glass and glitz [10]
Pull glassware out of the cabinets and onto a mantel for a last-minute arrangement. Let curled ribbon drape out of a champagne flute. Place one ornament in a martini glass. Stack mini ornaments in a beer glass. Or create a "flower" in a clay pot with a wine glass and ornaments. Put a votive holder upside down inside the pot as a base for the glass. Secure the glass to the top of the holder with double-sided tape. Crumple tissue paper around the base of the glass, and fill with mini ornaments.
Decorate an entry table [13]
Ice skates with red pompoms made an easy entry table arrangement, while an apothecary jar filled with twigs adds an unexpected accent. A mix of faux and real evergreens brings holiday spirit throughout the area.
Serve up a centerpiece [16]
To make a showy centerpiece, place solid-color ball ornaments inside a clear-glass vase and "serve" on a silver tray. Sprinkle faux snow (or coconut) over the display, and wrap it up with matching ribbon.
Ornament plain frames [19]
Make a basic white frame a pretty focal point by hanging an ornament from the hanger in back. For a pretty arrangement above a buffet or mantel, flank the framed ornament with framed holiday wrapping papers. To ensure a perfect fit, wrap the cardboard that comes with the frame.
Make candlestick cones [22]
Top silver candlesticks with silvery painted pinecones for an elegant display. Group several on a tray, and add some blue or silver ornaments for even more impact.
To paint pinecones, apply several thin coats of metallic silver spray paint.
60-Second Video: Easy Christmas decor [25]
Decorating for the holidays doesn't have to be expensive or complicated. These unique ideas take household items and spruce them up for the season.
Give rooms "gifts" [28]
Tie wide ribbons around solid-color pillows as if they're presents going under the tree. Place on chairs, sofas or beds for an instant spot of holiday color.
Make it clearly Christmas [31]
Layer silver and paper snowflakes or Christmas-theme confetti between clear plastic plates for frosty fun at the dinner table.
Bedeck worn-out boots [34]
Have a pair of boots you won't wear this winter? Dress them up with twigs, greens and ribbon for a welcoming display. To protect boots, line with plastic bags. Add weight with rocks to keep the boots from tipping. Insert twigs and small evergreen branches. Tie a bow around each boot, and drape an evergreen sprig down one side.
Tie twigs [37]
A bundle of brown twigs makes a great hanging decoration to put on a door or above a mantel. To secure, wrap a wide rubber band around twig ends. Tuck one branch of greens, such as eucalyptus, inside the rubber band for color. Cover the rubber band with a ribbon.
Make cranberry ice [40]
Freeze cranberries in just enough water to cover them; add pieces to your ice bucket.
Set an effortless table [43]
A set of kitchen canisters -- filled with crinkled newspaper, topped with moss and set amid scattered apples -- forms a simple centerpiece. Perched atop glasses, store-bought felt polka-dot ornaments with name tags attached act as place cards and make fun take-home favors for guests.
Make organic art [46]
Switch out art in existing frames, or buy inexpensive shadow boxes and/or frames with mats. Cut new backgrounds out of burlap or colored paper, then use hot glue to mount twigs or varied evergreen sprigs for art naturally themed to the season.
Arrange artfully [49]
Our casual place setting shows simple can be beautiful. Its personality started with a cleverly folded "pocket" napkin. Then we added artfully arranged silverware, a $2 place mat, layered dishes and a frame of grapevine twigs -- all on a table runner cut from bargain burlap.
Display your favorites [52]
Turn a shallow basket or tray into a fun arrangement for your dining or coffee table. We arranged rows of feathery moss, smooth stones, green apples and spiky pinecones, but use what's easily available to you: other fruits or vegetables, ornaments or bits of nature.
Create an easy entry [55]
Clothespins hold holiday cards on burlap ribbon tacked to the back of a mirror frame. Old wood rice scoops act as vases for unusual arrangements of stones and cut evergreen branches. Display a cut tree in a basket. We wrapped its trunk with yarn for a spot of color.
Do linen tricks [58]
Temporarily transform your bed. We layered holiday-theme hand towels on our headboard. Red-striped napkins and place mats work as "covers" for pillows. Attach with safety pins or basting stitches to remove later.
Make a tote-ally easy display [61]
For a fresh-from-the-yard front door display, fill a tote with greenery and twigs. (Line the inside with a plastic bag to protect the tote.) Attach two ornaments to the handle with wire. Tie on a ribbon as a finishing touch. To protect it from elements, bring the tote inside overnight.
Create a better buffet [64]
Who says lanterns have to hold candles? Filled with apples and cherries, ours "light up" this buffet with red-and-green holiday style. A red table scarf, cut from $1-a-yard burlap, amps up the color. (Pull threads to finish the edges with a fringe.) Our three "trees" are evergreen branches set in wet florist foam in clay pots. (We hid the foam tops with dried moss.) A vintage window stands in as a message board. We spelled out holiday sentiments with stick-on letters.
Float a flower [67]
Create a fluid floral centerpiece with a 17-inch-wide glass bowl and flowers in floating glass tea-light holders.
Touch of glass [70]
For easy elegance, showcase oversize pinecones, bird figurines and ornaments under cloches. A dusting of faux snow adds wintry sparkle.
Eye candy [73]
Filled with peppermint candies, inexpensive glasses make quick centerpieces, decorations or party favors. Tie a coordinating ribbon around the stems for an added festive touch.
Card display [76]
Create eyecatching holiday decor from your Christmas cards. Use this year's cards as they arrive or save them from year to year. Showcase cards on a unique surface, such as a salvaged shutter (pictured), wooden sled, ladder, garden trellis or empty picture frame.
Tiered beauty [80]
A tiered serving tray is great for serving up decorations as well as holiday treats. An assortment of white and clear ornaments tucked into faux snow dresses up this tray in style.
Small touches [83]
Small touches can have a big impact. Here, a miniature wreath of fresh greens looks lovely hanging from a display shelf, and a tiny present tucked among white tableware adds more charm.
Fragrant decor [86]
For a fragrant chair-back decoration, bundle bay leaf, thyme, rosemary and marjoram with twine. Bouquets can be made several days in advance, then refrigerated. Once dry, use them for cooking!
Holiday dress-up [89]
Sprigs of pine and berries dress up framed photos in the home's entry.
Beautify a birdbath [92]
Fresh greenery, a large red ball, red-painted pinecones and a bright bow look festive in this wintry scene.
Create vignettes [95]
Small vignettes, such as this one with pinecones, nuts and cinnamon sticks in crystal apéritif glasses on a silver tray, add surprising and sparkling detail to a room.
Cover with a cloche [98]
A potted poinsettia becomes a pretty centerpiece underneath a cloche. Or cover a miniature evergreen tree, large ornament or holiday figurine.
Renew a wreath [101]
A basic twig wreath can be decorated differently every year. We tucked in faux berry branches, a burlap ribbon bow, live greens and a purchased turkey feather for a natural look.
Pretty paperwhites [104]
Place paperwhites in a large compote or bowl. Cover the potting soil with mini ball ornaments in colors that coordinate with your holiday scheme.
Display heirlooms [107]
Heirloom silver pieces make a pretty holiday tableau with family photos and ornaments.
Use what you have [110]
A use-what-you-have philosophy inspired a creamer "vase" hung from a chandelier.
Put up trees [113]
A pint-size dwarf Alberta spruce gives a candle sconce new holiday style. Remove soil and bind the roots in damp cheesecloth to fit into the candle hole. Tie a holiday-hue ribbon at the base.
Card-display tree [116]
Show off Christmas cards on a centerpiece "tree" made with twigs from the yard. Arrange twigs in a pitcher or vase, and clip or tie cards to twig ends. For an added burst of holiday color, weave a red ribbon or piece of rickrack through the display.
Mix up your centerpiece [119]
Stack three or four mixing bowls to create tiers for displaying mini ornaments, dried pods or nuts, clipped greens, hard candies, ribbons, tinsel or fruits. Place an upside-down cereal bowl between the layers so mixing bowls don't sit inside each other.
Present sentiments [122]
A good view is always a gift! But make it even more special by wrapping it like a present by crisscrossing ribbon and adding holiday good wishes. Our treatment layers thin white ribbon over a wide red one (fold ends and tack or tape to the window frame). Secure wood letters in a fun font via double-faced tape or straight pins pressed into the grille. Underscore the sentiment with glass jars of sweet treats.

Decorate a headboard [127]
Faux candy letters spell "Christmas" on a headboard.
Think small [130]
Holiday decorating doesn't have to be elaborate. This tiny natural arrangement in a clear bowl reinforces the season in a big way.
Add silvery shine [133]
Group votive candles on a silver tray to multiply their star power. This easy project will light up a powder room.
Star-bright streamers [136]
Bring stars inside the home with cascading streamers made from wrapping paper. Mount wrapping paper to both sides of card stock with spray adhesive. Using a die-cutting tool, cut out pairs of stars in three sizes. To connect stars, thread embroidery floss through a hole punched at the bottom of one star. String two plastic barrel beads, then pull both ends of the floss through a halved plastic coffee stirrer. String two more beads. Thread floss through a hole punched at the top of a smaller star (for descending size order), and tie a knot to secure. Repeat to achieve desired length.
Bedeck a mirror [139]
A guest bedroom mirror invites sugarplum dreams.
Acorn tree [142]
A coat of paint transforms acorns into tiny ornaments. Hang them from a branch with twine loops glued to the caps. The long serving tray, filled with more acorns and a bowl, visually balances the display. Adjust the colors of the paint to coordinate with your table linens.

I hope Java 8 is better than Java 6 and Java 7.
I haven't used Java 7 yet, since Java 6 is used for Android development.
But Java 6 sucked.
Luckily, Java 7 has gotten better with improved type interference and strings in switches.
I hope Java 8 gets even better, I think it will support better exception handling with multi-catch statements.
I really hope Java 8 improves a lot, because C# / .NET is superior to Java 6.

In 2004 Brian Moote's mother said to him in her usual Irish sarcasm, "Well, if you think you are so funny, why don't you become a comedian then mister?" Shortly thereafter, mostly out of spite, Brian first stepped on stage and thoroughly entertained 3 people at an 11pm open-mic show. To his surprise, his stubbornness had just opened the door to his dream job and he worked as a professional comedian throughout his college studies. Since that night, he has worked at comedy clubs and colleges across the country. He has an energetic and conversational style that promises no two sets are exactly the same, and his goal when he performs is to facilitate good time for everyone in the room, or seriously injure himself trying. The latter of which has yet to happen to him, and a bit dramatic. He was a part of Comedy Central's Open Mic Fight and the Maxim/Bud Light Real Men of Comedy Tour featuring Joe Rogan. He is "just a barrel of fun" says his mother, who to this day takes credit for launching him into the world of show business. He recently recorded a 50 min album entitled "Paying for Graduate School" at Wiseguys Comedy Club in Salt Lake City, UT.

This year might be known as après moi le deluge for teacher unions. Tenure laws are being rewritten, teacher evaluations are more likely to include student performance, and, in 2012's 'Wow' moment, the National Education Association, the nation's oldest and largest teacher union, announced that it had lost 100,000 members in just the last two years. This surely doesn't signal the end of teacher unions (keep an eye on Chicago), but the age of arrogance, I hope, is on the wane.
Why am I rooting for teacher unions' decline? Because, as I suggested in my last post, their dominance in school governance these last several decades has not seemed to work—for the students, the taxpayer, or the country. But even if our schools were working, we would need to be wary of union power because it violates some basic democratic principles; towit, free association and free speech.
One of my objectives as a member of a school board—a not-so-hidden agenda, if you will—was to help create an environment where it was safe to discuss how to improve our schools, how to get our kids a better education. This was premised on a belief that debate and discussion are good and lead to better outcomes. At minimum, I assumed that, from a policy and governance perspective, two heads were better than one and that an engaged community would be more apt to deliver a good education than an unengaged...
When I entered the education reform movement, as a parent and member of the school board, a dozen or so years ago, it didn't take long to realize that teachers were the tip of a very long spear: The public faces of a hugely complicated (and from what I could see, ineffectual) system. A million (it seemed) rules and regulations, another million (it seemed) interest groups. But it also didn't take long to understand that most of the rules and regulations (the ones that counted) either came from or favored the teacher union and the most important interest group was also the teacher union.
The point was made clear to me (there's that spear) when I chaired a district task force on student academic performance. About the second or third meeting of the group, which included parents, community members, teachers, and administrators, a teacher interrupted someone suggesting a longer school day. "We can't talk about that—that's a negotiated item," he said. Before that meeting was done, we had touched the "negotiated item" button several more times. I finally informed the teacher that there was nothing the task force couldn't discuss and he was out of order; he never returned, nor did the other teachers who had signed on to the committee. The administrators stopped coming as well. The rest of us forged on, produced a report with fifty different improvement recommendations, and presented it to the board, where it has...
While this weekend had plenty of noteworthy education news, today I would like to note the passing of a friend of mine, Staley Keith, who made me understand something about schools and racism. He died just after the Center for Civil Rights Remedies released a troubling study on race and school suspensions and would have nodded knowingly had he seen it. Writes Gary Orfield, head of the Civil Rights Project, which published the study,
As Mike pointed out the other day, the report, called "Opportunities Suspended: The Disparate Impact of Disciplinary Exclusion...
There has been a spate of "scathing" reports and comments lately about for-profit schools, which bring out the kissing-cousin questions of whether schools are "businesses," whether it's good to "privatize" them, and whether we need more "regulation."
And all the words in quotation marks in that sentence are meant to draw attention to the fact that the field is littered with misunderstandings, misstatements, and just plain gobbledygook.
But first, a word from Whitney Tilson, who summarized things rather succinctly in an August 8 email blast:
You know that something is amiss if Tilson says he agrees with Diane Ravitch. But he has a shotgun list of bad news about private- and quasi-private-sector education. He calls attention to a recent New York Times story which noted that:
This is the fourth post in a series by guest bloggers who know first-hand the strengths and flaws of America's dominant form of education governance: the local school board. Each author will draw on their personal experiences to answer the question posed for the Board's Eye View Challenge: Can school boards improve schools?
Andrew Blumenfeld is a senior at Princeton University. He began serving a four-year term on the school board in La Cañada, California in December, 2011. Andrew is also a founding member of Students for Education Reform.
When I decided to run for a seat on the La Cañada Board of Education in Los Angeles, I needed to be aggressive. That I had graduated from this district was certainly a mark in my favor. I suspected that benefit would be overshadowed by two concerns: (1) that graduation happened only two years prior (I was twenty years old), and (2) I was a junior at Princeton University—as in, New Jersey.
Luckily, my passion could be characterized as "aggressive." As a student, I had been frustrated by the uneven quality of the education in my district; I was tired of some standardized test scores blinding leadership to problems; and I had recently become a founding member of Students for Education Reform—an organization allying college students with the plight of student-focused education advocacy.
Though two headlines yesterday about the just released Civil Rights Project study on school suspensions—"Suspensions Are Higher for Disabled Students, Federal Data Indicate" (New York Times) and "Researchers Sound Alarm Over Black Student Suspensions" (Education Week)—suggest our continued ambivalence about race (see Mike's post here), I would like to take a moment to praise Chris Christie and his New Jersey education team for a watershed event on teacher evaluations and tenure that might just have some salubrious effect on student discipline.
On Monday, the Garden State governor upset a century-old teacher-tenure law, codifying a statute that creates a new teacher-rating scheme and also streamlines the process for firing both teachers and administrators.
As Heather Haddon noted in the Wall Street Journal, the Garden State is not the first to reform teacher evaluation and tenure rules—remember Wisconsin?—and Christie did not get the legislature to put an end to last-in-first-out seniority rules which a number of other states have managed to kill, but the law signed by Christie "was most significant for where it occurred: in a blue, East Coast state with a strong organized-labor movement and a Legislature controlled by Democrats."
The New York Post called the new law a "coup."
Yet Barbara Keshishian, head of the New Jersey's teachers union said that the "legislation moves us in the right direction by making it harder to earn tenure, and less expensive and time-consuming to remove teachers who are not performing well."
"Yes," opined the...
It started as a fairly typical funding-equity lawsuit and ended with a startling Wall Street Journal headline, "Michigan City Outsources All of Its Schools." The story, about the poor performing and all-but-bankrupt Highland Park school district, raises all kinds of questions about our nation's public-education system. (More from my colleague Bianca Speranza about implications for Ohio of Highland Park's plan here.) Why is it failing our poor children (which I wrote about last week)? Can it be fixed? Can it be fixed by turning schools over to charter-management organizations (CMOs)? And if we do turn them over to CMOs, do they have to be nonprofits?
According to a report by Jenny Ingles in the web-based Take Part, in early July the ACLU and eight students from the Highland Park school district, located just outside of Detroit, filed a class-action suit against the state because students in the district weren't learning: On a college-ready state exam, 90 percent of the district's eleventh graders failed the reading portion, 97 percent failed the math section, and 100 percent failed the social studies and science portions.
The suit, part of a long tradition of "adequacy and equity" litigation, argues that such failure is a violation of the state's constitution, which mandates a public-education system. "This is not a system of public education," says Kary...
When Jesus said (according to Matthew), "the poor you will always have with you," he might have added, "and so too the debate about whether schools can educate them." Paul Peterson has written one of the better essays on the seemingly interminable battle between those who believe that you have to cure the poor before you can educate them and those who believe that educating the poor will help cure poverty.
But there is some good news to report: The pendulum might be swinging, ever-so-slightly, toward the believers (in school).
First, Del Stover reports that a summer session of the Council on Urban Boards of Education (CUBE) concluded that "[t]ending to children's social, emotional needs [is an] important part of delivering education." It's the "part of" part that is encouraging; the source of the problem of educating the poor may be outside the schools, but the solution is inside the schools. The CUBE seminar, according to Stover, included a presentation by Barbara Cavallo, head of Partnership with Children, a New York City social services agency. Cavallo described the many challenges (to learning, to life, to everything) faced by poor children—and what schools could do to overcome them. Cavallo's counselors, according to Stover, "work with teachers and principals to develop a school-wide plan to create a safe and supportive school climate."
And, according to Stover, the training is paying the kind of dividends that school reformers have...
This is the third post in a series by guest bloggers who know first-hand the strengths and flaws of America's dominant form of education governance: the local school board. Each author will draw on their personal experiences to answer the question posed for the Board's Eye View Challenge: Can school boards improve schools?
Melanie Kurdys, who graduated from the University of Michigan with a BS in math and worked in Systems Development for IBM, AT&T, and Owens Corning Fiberglas, is a fulltime mom of three children, and has, for the last twenty years, lived and volunteered in schools in Michigan, Louisiana, Georgia, and California. She served on the Portage, Michigan, School Board from 2007-2011 and on the Portage Curriculum Committee from 2004-2006.
I was on my local school board, but lost my last election because I was part of a six to one majority that voted to pay off our superintendent to get her to leave before her contract expired.
When I started on the board, in 2007, I was in the minority, five to two. I am a fiscal conservative, strongly believe in using data to make decisions, and was relentless in my effort to show that the student achievement in our district was unacceptable—for hundreds of children every year and getting worse. The community has...
On July 12, the South Carolina Board of Education decided to maintain the status quo at seven low-performing schools around the state, likely ensuring yet another school year marked by low achievement rates. The state board voted against a takeover or instituting any meaningful reforms of these chronically failing schools, abdicating its responsibility to ensure the best education for hundreds of children.
South Carolina is not alone in refusing to take bold action and intervene in lousy schools but its continual resistance to school-governance reform in the face of persistent low achievement indicates that a new model is needed in the Palmetto State.
The state school board did approve school improvement plans that include teacher evaluation (including, but not limited to, tying teacher employment and pay scales to student performance) and the consolidation and reorganization of schools. But these plans are merely a tweak to the status quo. The seven schools they apply to need more than tweaks—each received an "at-risk" grade for at least eight consecutive years. What they require are fundamental changes in school governance. Even members of the state board who voted for these reforms expressed doubt that those in charge will have much success turning these schools around: Member Barbara Clarke stated, "Yes, we're making some gains [in our school report card]. But we're not making all that much gain for the monies that's being poured."
Ms. Clarke need only look to...

Concrete speakers sound like a strange idea
The 'Exposed' speakers are made of concrete, and utilize horn loudspeaker technology (Photo: Shmuel Linski)
Article Summary
We've seen a number of unusual speakers before, such as the Whamodyne glass speakers or Solid Acoustics' dodecahedron speakers, but concrete speakers are definitely something new. It's definitely not a very popular material for audio systems, but Israeli designer Shmuel Linski would like to change that with his "Exposed" concrete speakers, each of which weighs 123 pounds (56 kg). They're just one part of his line of unusual creations, that include a concrete coffee maker and a concrete canoe.

"This item is surprisingly helpful. I recently went on vacation and used this pad for packing in both directions. Usage Tip: Go through and cross out the items you know you will not be packing. Highlight the items you do bring as you pack them (as a way of checking them off) and bring the pad with you. This way, you have an inventory of what you brought which helps you prevent leaving things behind when you pack up to go home."

openSUSE releases are so unexciting. Nothing else happens besides package updates and a bunch of Yast bug-fixes ¬¬

openSUSE releases are so unexciting. Nothing else happens besides package updates and a bunch of Yast bug-fixes ¬¬
Being a KDE 4 guy I want to like OpenSuse, I really do. I just can't stand Yast and yes I tried 11.2. It is just far too bloated and difficult. Too much "crap" all over the GUI package manager for example; hugely overcomplicated. I'm not a great fan of zypper either though I admit it's pretty feature-full
i agree too.I dont like ubuntu for the popularity but it is as simple as sudo apt-get install ... Fedora is to "vanilla" in the look and feel way and Mint is too feature full.OpenSUSE is just eyecandy and updated packages, but in terms of use..
Good news. I like OpenSuSE for their stable KDE platform (kubuntu really sucks) and their build service (OBS). Yast is something you have to get used to (is very powerful after that to setup about everything), and zypper install packagename always works.

Making a modulation choice (Which one is right for you?)
November 30, 1997 7:00 pm | by Aravanan Gurusami (firstname.lastname@example.com), Senior Engineering Manager, Digital Transmission Systems; and Michael Nekhamkin (firstname.lastname@example.com), Senior Staff Engineer, Digital Transmission Systems, Philips Broadband Networks Inc | CommentsDeciding which return path (multipoint-to-point) modulation technology is right for your HFC network is a complex task. You must consider a number of criteria for a number of technologies, some of which are just beginning to be tested in the field. How do you make a sound decision? First, of course, you learn all you can about your choices.
Port mismatches pose challenge
October 31, 1997 7:00 pm | by Mark Laubach, Chief Technical Officer, Com21 Inc. | CommentsThe deployment of high-speed data services over all-coax and hybrid fiber/coax (HFC) networks has always been anticipated to follow a relatively straightforward implementation strategy. However, recent industry experience deploying cable modem termination systems (CMTSs) has uncovered an unforeseen and challenging system engineering issue when deploying new services over HFC systems.
Want the whole story? The eyes have it
October 31, 1997 7:00 pm | by Tom Robinson | CommentsEarly on, television's strong and lasting visual imagery pegged it as the "cool fire." Moreover, now that TV has become the top source of news and information for many in our nation, the imagery that we see can significantly influence our attitudes. This is one reason why it is especially important to get the words along with the picture in order to get the whole story that is being conveyed.
Singing the digital must-carry blues
October 31, 1997 7:00 pm | by Jeffrey Krauss, Pushing the Cable Signal Carriage and President of Telecommunications and Technology Policy | CommentsBut one thing is certain—the industry is relying on the NCTA to take the lead in lobbying these important techno-political issues at the FCC, but I've heard disturbing rumors that the NCTA is thinking about eliminating its Science & Technology Department. That would be a mistake. When Congress amended the Communications Act in 1992, it required most cable systems to allocate up to one...
How do you replace an industry icon?
October 31, 1997 7:00 pm | by Roger Brown | CommentsIf you do, the National Cable Television Association wants to hear from you — now. You'd have to be living under a rock not to know that Wendell Bailey, who held down the top engineering job at the NCTA for the past 16 years, has departed. Some even feared that the NCTA was considering not replacing him, opting instead to let Cable Television Laboratories and the Society of Cable Telecomm...
21st Century lays out its plan
October 31, 1997 7:00 pm | by Roger Brown | CommentsNot since the days of the notorious Al Capone has Chicago seen the all-out war that's about to be unleashed there. When the Telecom Act was overhauled in 1996, supporters promised it would lead to a new era of competition. Generally, however, that hasn't yet happened, except in a few markets. But soon, the city of Chicago will witness a shoot-out so intense, it might match the bloodletting that...
Operators dodge flak in Silicon Valley
October 31, 1997 7:00 pm | by Fred Dawson | CommentsThe Open Cable set-top initiative notwithstanding, the cable industry faces an uphill battle when it comes to any effort to insulate itself from the influence of Microsoft Corp. over the software framework for next-generation media. Industry leaders have made clear their desire to facilitate flexibility in their choice of set-top operating systems through a terminal architecture that can exploi...
Are there strings attached?
October 31, 1997 7:00 pm | by Michael Lafferty | CommentsUp until just a couple of months ago, the cable industry seemed to be the butt of a well-worn Rodney Dangerfield joke — the industry just couldn't get no respect. It's amazing what $1 billion here and $1 billion there can do to change people's perceptions practically overnight. Suddenly this summer, cable operators were touring the Silicon Valley.
Suddenly, the team doesn't feel the same
September 30, 1997 8:00 pm | by Roger Brown | CommentsReaction throughout the highest levels within the cable industry's technical community might have been similar last month when Wendell Bailey, the National Cable Television Association's venerable VP of science and technology, parted from the Washington-based lobbying organization after 16-plus years.
IP telephony plan no longer stuck on 'hold'

Cable companies and their affiliates involved in the delivery of data services are working closely with a variety of vendors in...
Place your bets
September 30, 1997 8:00 pm | by Jeffrey Krauss, Spectrum Auction Strategist and President of Telecommunications and Technology Policy | CommentsBackground In 1991, the FCC granted a license for 1000 MHz of spectrum in the 27.5–28.5 GHz band in New York City to a company that is now known as CellularVision of New York (CVNY). CVNY proposed to use the spectrum to offer 49 channels of analog video, in a network configuration that reused the 1000 MHz of spectrum in cells only a few miles in radius.
The effects of bit on baud demystified
September 30, 1997 8:00 pm | by Jim Farmer | CommentsThe correct answer: "affect" is usually a verb, so use that word when you mean to do something. "Affect" can also be a noun, if you are referring to someone's "emotional affect," or the conscious subjective aspect of an emotion, separate and distinct from bodily changes. "Effect" is usually a noun, so use it when you are talking about something.
Nebraska op cashes in on educational data
September 30, 1997 8:00 pm | by Leslie Ellis | CommentsWhen Galaxy Cablevision undertook a network upgrade two years ago, it seemed a logical way to save on costs by consolidating headends. This month, that upgrade turns into a moneymaker, too, as Galaxy starts collecting state funds from the Nebraska Department of Education for distance learning and high-speed data services.

Wrobel, President and CEO, Premiere Network Services Inc. | CommentsWhether provided by telephone or cable companies, the networks of tomorrow will require close collaboration between carriers, equipment vendors and government regulatory authorities.

Survey-said! Focus on purchaser preference
August 31, 1997 8:00 pm | by Tom Robinson | CommentsMy grandfather, in fact, a now long-retired coal miner, is the epitome of the company man (just think of Tennessee Ernie Ford's song "16 Tons," and you'll get the picture). So I've got a bit of a feel about the turmoil the strikers are going through, especially the long-timers — proud of their association with "Big Brown" but increasingly concerned about how that association is changing.

Steve, I can't speak for crispiness, but more protein=faster browning, so, from a browning perspective, it's not entirely fair to judge flours with different protein levels side by side in the same formulation. If you're going to judge the occident or the kaap against the kyrol, you'll need to compensate for the lower protein with either more sugar or a longer ferment.
It depends on what Steve is comparing. If he's just comparing how varying levels of protein effect his recipe, then, no, compensation isn't necessary. If, though, he's trying to find the best flour among these choices, then the only way to judge them fairly is to compensate for their varying specs. In addition to increasing the sugar and/or the fermentation, one should also decrease the hydration for lower protein flours.
Thanks Norma! I think I'll take you up on that offer. I'd appreciate it if you would order an extra loaf of each for me, if you don't mind.
I realize the difference in these flours are going to require different formulas and mixing/kneading times to get the most out of each one. That would take an awful lot of trial and error experiments to complete, if in fact it ever could be complete with so many variables in play.
