Home Improvement alum Taran Noah Smith has been convicted of DUI and drug possession, TMZ reports.
Smith was arrested and charged in February after police smelled cannabis coming from his car, which was parked in front of a fire hydrant in Los Angeles. On Tuesday, Smith pleaded guilty to the drug possession charge and no contest to the DUI. He was sentenced to a 12-hour program for the DUI conviction and to a six-month drug diversion program. He was also placed on three years' probation and is due back in court in June.
Photos: Child stars gone bad!
Smith, 27, played the youngest son Mark on the ABC sitcom. He hasn't acted since Home Improvement went off the air in 1999, but he's been surrounded by controversy since. At 17, he sued his parents, accusing them of squandering his money. That same year, Smith married a woman 16 years his senior. The couple filed for divorce in 2007.

Comments: Great swim-jig trailers! I only fish the DirtyJigs Cali swim jig and these are a great trailer and really make the jig rock back and forth to eliminate the need for shaking the rod! Durable bait especially when a Northern hits it, nothing a little glue can't fix, great product. Have tried other swim jig trailers but none of them produce the action of the Money Minnow!

Comments: Caught a 17 pound striped bass on the 5 inch pearl chartcheuse in the ca delta fishng for largemouths. This swimbait hits!!!!
From: Steven: san francisco, ca
Comments: I would have to agree with everyone claiming that these are great baits. I target redfish and speckled trout, and they love em!!! My only compaint, unlike others, is that they do not hold up very well. a few hits and they are destroyed. That is my experience with them. Always have several packs on the boat!!!
From: Robert: Harlingen, Texas
Comments: This is the best soft plastic swim bait I have tried so far they are very durable as one has lasted me 15 fish.The bait I was using was a 3.5 inch pearl with a 3 oct size gama weighted hook 1/8 oz don't expect to cast this into the middle of the lake and expect bites.Remember bass are ambush predators these baits are weedless so throw them around cover such as logs and isolated hydrilla with a slow retrieve works best.Really good cold front bait as I've caught fish in 50 degree air temp.

How happy I will be as soon as Beefy Miracle gets outdated and attention moves on to it's successor. I can't tell you how much I hate those hot dog images all around. I have to admit though it might be somehow because I am vegetarian and also don't like mustard the best.
Keep on rockin' Fedora folks!

Duh. Obviously the GNOME community turned totally crazy.
If one does not like the default usability of GNOME Shell, the sane solution would be to develop GS extensions to tweak it. Instead the Gnomes default reaction is a fork totally crazy, as I wrote.
If you consider Gnome Shell a bad shell, try Unity first. I did. When I tried Gnome Shell... let me just put it this way - What a #%^#$ relieffff! The thing works, well, differently, but performance is way better. Also keep in mind that Canonical does pet-bugging with the Unity. The same bugs persist since the very first version of Unity with no perspective of them being resolved! All you silly optimists out there - this is a shell for you. The bugs will SURELY be resolved
The problem with 2 panels layers is the clutter they both bring. In this case, clearly a nostalgic value. Gnome Legacy is on the way FYI.
Cinnamon is nothing more than a polished extended Gnome Shell rather than a true fork. It heavily depends on the core of Gnome 3 to be fully functional. The existence of extensions render the argument that Gnome does not care moot. The real issues are those whiners making a lot of noise without trying a desktop environment like Gnome Shell while aware of the open development but chose not to participate.In my opinion people should try Cinnamon and all non paid developers from Gnome go and join Cinnamon project, u`ll much more love from users there than in gnome camp. And as for people liking gnome 3 ofc u`ll see a few every camp has his fanboy user database.
[/quote]I my opinion gnome 3 will never give in their goal to become a touch orientated desktop the won`t admit they were or are wrong, never. If i weren`t for redhat backing them up they would have been lost into oblivion along time ago. I still cant image next redhat 7 release with default DE gnome 3.x that won`t work in enterprise , business environment.
Touch oriented desktop is inevitable, it needs maturity. Be glad Gnome 3 allows the use of both keyboard and mouse while trying to bridge the gap between touchscreen and keyboard. Change is a natural process, new generation of developers and users emerge everyday.
Redhat has a habit to backport new features including GPU drivers for enterprise environment. The key issue is obviously communication which is the kryptonite.
Upstream gnome isn't much better in that respect. It seems each gnome release is coming with more and more very obvious bugs that should have been caught and fixed before final release.
Totem's fullscreen controls don't work with many touchpads, this bug has been around since totem 3.0. I've seen this happen on 3 separate laptops from 3 different manufacturers. You'd think a basic feature on the *default* video player wouldn't be broken for so long.
Since gnome 3.6 brasero is completely unable to add mp3's to an audio cd. Bug reported ages ago but no activity on the bug report (and is generally a buggy mess anyway)
GDM 3.6 is just super buggy in general. it loves to often hang on logout for example
The new lock screen is ridiculously buggy, it will randomly start acting very "slow" (you hit "lock screen" and then it locks like a full minute later. Sometimes it also takes forever to unlock too.
They break/change screensaver inhibiting with almost every fucking release, so media player's have to play catch-up
the "lock screen after" option appears to be completely broken in gnome 3.6
gnome-shell still tends to randomly hang on login sometimes, I've seen this on a variety of hardware. doesn't happen often, but real annoying when it does
Gnome-shell 3.6 has a massive memory leak, everytime you click an item on the top panel memory usage rises and never gets released
tracker crashes *all *the*time.
Empathy/telepathy is just a horrific, buggy mess. still is and always has been. First thing I have to do on any install is install pidgin
I like both gnome-shell and unity as interfaces, but they are both way too buggy and need to step up QA.

I have not had that much trouble with QT applications on Xfce (GTK+). Just needed to force the themes:
So I imagine there is something similar that can be done in reverse.
Gnome 3.4 was just about perfect for me, but Gnome 3.6 feels like a step backwards.
Some of the new "features" that Gnome 3.6 introduced that I do not like are:
- You must now slide the lock screen upwards with the mouse to unlock
- There is now a huge notification bar at the bottom, with icon's being 3x larger than in previous versions
- Nautilus was dumbed down significantly. It also runs full-screen by default, and there is no intuitive way to unmaximize it.
I can understand the above if Gnome 3 were running on a Tablet. In fact, the above changes would make lots of sense on a Tablet; however, on a desktop PC, its kind of ridiculous for me to swipe up with my mouse to unlock the screen. (yes I know you can hit ESC, but why must I now take an additional step that seems to be designed for a tablet?)
Furthermore, the huge notification bar at the bottom is now 3x the size, and the icons look terribly ugly and blurry on a desktop PC. It's a shame that my favorite extension from 3.4 no longer works in 3.6, as I used to have an extension that would move those notification icons to the top activity bar... so now I am forced to see a huge dropbox icon whenever I bring up the notification bar... might be great on a tablet, but terrible on my PC.
Finally, what were the dev's thinking when they removed the capability to unmaximize Nautilus? For weeks, I was forced to use nautilus full screen, until I finally got so frustrated I googled how to unmaximize it, and found that you must click-drag the window to do so. Why??? Every other single window in Gnome has a standard way of resizing it except for Nautilus. Again, might be great for tablets where you use one app at a time, but on my PC, I'm often using file operations in combination with some other application.
I feel Gnome 3.6 was a step back from Gnome 3.4. Lets hope 3.8 addresses the above issues.

Almost there.
That seems to be the trend for the Summit High boys' basketball team this year.
They're on the way to a win - and then the game slips away. The same held true Tuesday night at home against rival Battle Mountain High School (7-4 overall; 3-3 Western Slope), which saw Summit (1-10 overall; 1-6 Slope) four points ahead of the Huskies heading into the fourth quarter of the fast-paced game.
Summit started the fourth quarter slow and in control, shutting the Huskies down and stirring up frustration. That's when Jack Kamby started lighting it up, sinking one from inside the paint for 2 - and then the three-pointers began. After sinking three in a row, Battle Mountain took the lead (47-50) and never let go, finishing the game off with a 57-51 victory. That follows the season opener, another almost-win where the Huskies topped Summit in Edwards, 50-48.
"We gave away the lead. It was a tough one," Summit head coach Phil Tronsrue said, adding, "I know (Kamby) can shoot a three here or there, but he probably took more threes today than he's ever taken in a game and he's made more than he's ever made in a game."
They weren't easy three-pointers, either, as Summit's players forced the Husky to shoot through the weeds on more than one of his targets.
As the game slowed with coaches buying time with timeouts and players drawing fouls, Battle Mountain sealed the deal with free throws.
After Joe LyBarger sunk a reverse layup, Alex Banegas drew a foul and hit one of two at the charity stripe to bump the score to 53-47.
Summit's Garrett Tousey sunk one for two points, followed by Merrick Crispell stepping to the line and going null on his throws. Summit's Markeith McDonald took the ball to the Tiger basket to close the gap to 53-51 with 26 seconds left in the game, but Battle Mountain used the time to secure some free throws, which sealed the deal.
Amadou Dath and LyBarger each sent the ball plummeting through the basket, each going two for two at the line to take the lead, despite Tiger Coy Coker's desperate attempts from the outside to close the gap.
"We missed some key free throws, and we gotta convert," Tronsrue said. "They missed a few, too, but they were hitting them when they needed to."
Battle Mountain's victory puts the team again in the league running.
"We took two timeouts at the end and focused on defense. It was time for us to pick up on the defensive end," Battle Mountain head coach Tommy Padilla said. "We got Jack going on threes - that's what got us back in the game. It was one game we needed to get to be in the league hunt."
It wasn't easy, Padilla added. "Coming in on Coach Tronsrue - It's tough to win on the opponent's home court."
But they did, and in part, it's because the Tigers need to close.
"We're playing really good. We're playing really good for 26, 27, 28 minutes. ... If you take a look at almost all of our league games, we have been very competitive to about three-quarters of the game, maybe a little bit more, maybe a little less," Tronsrue said. "It's just getting to the peak. We cannot get to that. We had a couple chances tonight. We extended it six, and then they fought back. We extended it another six, and they fought back again. We should have been looking for great shots while we're ahead."
Despite quality play at Eagle Valley on Jan. 8 (66-55 loss), Summit traveled to Rifle Friday and "got our butts handed to us," Tronsrue said. The final score was 62-30.
Meanwhile, Summit's junior varsity team had its first win in two years Tuesday night against Battle Mountain's JV squad. At the end of November, the Tigers lost by a mere two points. This time, Marco Reifsteck hit a three and then two free throws to seal the game by a one-point margin.
On Saturday at 1:30 p.m., the Tigers face off against Delta, the Western Slope league leader.
"We have a challenge ahead of us. We have to regroup. We have three days. We have to get after them," Tronsrue said. "We're home again and hopefully we can take it to them. It would be a nice way to go over the top by pulling off a win against them and tightening some things up."

Ectodermal dysplasia is a group of conditions in which there is abnormal development of the skin, hair, nails, teeth, or sweat glands.
Anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia; Christ-Siemens-Touraine syndrome
There are many different types of ectodermal dysplasia.
Many gene defects can cause ectodermal dysplasias. The most common form of ectodermal dysplasia usually affects men. Other forms of the disease affect men and women equally.
People with ectodermal dysplasia may not sweat or may have decreased sweating because of a lack of sweat glands.
Children with the disease may have difficulty controlling fevers. Mild illness can produce extremely high fevers, because the skin cannot sweat and control temperature properly.
Affected adults are unable to tolerate a warm environment and need special measures to keep a normal body temperature.
Other symptoms include:
Tests that may be done include:
There is no specific treatment for this disorder.
Some things you can do include:
Having ectodermal dysplasia will not shorten your lifespan, but you must pay constant attention to temperature regulation and other problems associated with this condition.
Call for an appointment with your health care provider if your child shows symptoms of this disorder.
If you have a family history of ectodermal dysplasia and you are planning to have children, genetic counseling is recommended. In many cases it is possible to diagnose ectodermal dysplasia while the baby is still in the womb.

- "You might belong in Gryffindor,
Where dwell the brave at heart,
Their daring, nerve and chivalry
Set Gryffindors apart" - —The Sorting Hat[src]
Gryffindor is one of the four Houses of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, founded by Godric Gryffindor. Its emblematic animal is the lion, and its colours are red and gold. Minerva McGonagall is the most recent Head of House. Sir Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington, also known as "Nearly Headless Nick" is the house ghost. The particular characteristics of students Sorted into Gryffindor are courage, chivalry and determination.
Gryffindor corresponds roughly to the element of fire[1], which may partly be the reason for its colours.
[show]Common Room
The Gryffindor Common Room is located in one of the castle's towers (Gryffindor Tower), the entrance to which is located on the seventh floor and is guarded by an oil painting of the Fat Lady, who is garbed in a pink silk dress. She permits entry only after being given the correct (regularly changing) password. Behind her painting is a large common room, with a fireplace, and two staircases leading up to the girls' and boys' dormitories. There is a spell on the girls' staircase that prevents boys from using it, however there is no such enchantment on the staircase to the boys'dormitory, allowing girls to use it whenever they wish. The common room is very comfortable, and members of the Gryffindor house meet there for study groups, celebrations, or relaxation. The walls are lined with portraits, each one depicting a previous or current Head of Gryffindor.
- "The House of Godric Gryffindor has commanded the respect of the wizarding world for nearly ten centuries."
- —Minerva McGonagall[src]
However, this may be taken with a grain of salt, as Gryffindors and Slytherins have shared a fierce house rivalry since their founders, Godric Gryffindor and Salazar Slytherin, respectively, had a severe falling out over Slytherin's emphasis on blood purity. There might also be an element of feeling wronged;as Harry and his fellow Gryffindors tend to win in a lot of circumstances which, when viewed from a Slytherin's point of view, may be considered unfair. Examples of this include the last-minute points awarded by Headmaster Dumbledore at the Leaving Feast, which conveniently put Gryffindor ten points ahead of Slytherin in the 1991–1992 school year, the fact that no points were deducted for the rule breaking that happened during that night and Harry being permitted by Professor McGonagall to have his own broomstick for the Gryffindor Quidditch team, even though first-years are not normally permitted their own broomsticks.
Even members of other houses might have felt that Gryffindor received favouritism, considering that many saw Harry being chosen as the fourth competitor in the Triwizard Tournament as stealing Hufflepuff student Cedric Diggory's thunder unfairly.
Overall, however, the houses of Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff tended to side with Gryffindor in its rivalry with Slytherin. This was particularly notable during the Second Wizarding War — the members of Dumbledore's Army were from Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, and Ravenclaw, but lacked any Slytherins (This may be because they were not notified of the Army's creation as it came through word of mouth and they did not seem to associate with many or any Slytherins), and during the Battle of Hogwarts, the Slytherin students left while many students from the other three houses remained behind to fight against Lord Voldemort.
- "Before Harry could speak, there was a massive movement. The Gryffindors in front of him had risen and stood facing, not Harry, but the Slytherins. Then the Hufflepuffs stood, and almost at the same moment, the Ravenclaws, all of them with their backs to Harry, all of them looking toward Pansy instead, and Harry, awestruck and overwhelmed, saw wands emerging everywhere, pulled from beneath cloaks and from under sleeves."
- —before the Battle of Hogwarts[src]
List of known Gryffindors
Behind the scenes
- J.K. Rowling was once asked in an interview into which House would she sort British politician and former Prime minister Gordon Brown, were she the Sorting Hat. She jokingly responded that she would sort him into Gryffindor, because of the red colours of his political party, which match the colours of Gryffindor.
- Rowling herself was sorted into Gryffindor House on Pottermore.[6]
- Many members of the Gryffindor House seem to have a gift for Transfiguration; Albus Dumbledore and Minerva McGonagall were both Transfiguration professors, while the latter was the Head of this House. There are four known Animagi from Gryffindor house: James Potter (a stag), Sirius Black (a dog), Peter Pettigrew (a rat) and Minerva McGonagall (a cat). Gryffindor Hermione Granger was noted to be very talented in Transfiguration from her first class. James Potter's wand was also noted to be good for Transfiguration.
- Neville Longbottom was an exception to this 'rule', as Transfiguration was among his worst subjects (Herbology was his best).
- In the films, Padma Patil, Parvati Patil's twin sister, is seen as a Gryffindor, while in the books she is a Ravenclaw.
- Based on their portrait hanging in Gryffindor Tower, Valeria Myriadd, Oracutus Spheer, Damara Dodderidge, Percival Pratt and several other unknown individuals may have been Gryffindors.
- Rubeus Hagrid stated in the first book that all the wizards who went bad were from Slytherin, however, the Gryffindor Peter Pettigrew disproved this. Hagrid, however, didn't know that Pettigrew was still alive and working for Voldemort. (It should also be noted that Quirinus Quirrell, a Ravenclaw, was working for Voldemort at the time, although Hagrid was unaware of that as well.) Another reason why this is odd is that, at the time, Sirius Black was believed to have gone bad (Hagrid's comments in the Three Broomsticks prove that he knew nothing of the truth in this instance), and he was also a Gryffindor. So Hagrid would have known of at least one Gryffindor who had 'gone bad'. He most likely did not mention this so that Harry did not try to find out more about his godfather, or it could have been 'Gryffindor propaganda', since Slytherin and Gryffindor are known rivals.
- In Pottermore, Evanna Lynch was sorted into the Gryffindor house. [7]
- It should be noted that the colours and emblems of Gryffindor resemble the historical English coat of arms. Whether this was intentional on Rowling's part or not is unknown.
- Gryffindor could possibly be derived from griffin, which is a creature in mythology with the body of a lion and the head of an eagle.
- In Old English and Old High German dor means gate or door.
- In French "d'or" means "of gold," one of the Gryffindor House colours, though it can also come from the Greek word "dora" meaning "gift".
- A combination can be assumed; "Golden Gift of the Lion".
- "Griffe" is the French word for "claw", which could refer to the claw of the lion.
- "Gryffindor" could very well be explained by heraldry: "Gryffin" would then stand for the griffin beast, and the "[d]or" would refer to the metal tincture "[d'] or" (Middle English for "[of] gold", derived from French; corresponds to yellow).
- Gryffindor is also a pun on the golden gryffin, which is a lion that only has eagle wings, so it has the head and front paws of a lion, and has golden fur and feathers. Even the French for Griffindor, Griffondor is a French homophone for the actual beast, Griffon d'Or.

TMS Studio City, Studio City TMS – West Coast TMS Institute
FDA-Approved Depression Treatment Studio City
West Coast TMS Institute proudly offers depression treatment. Studio City residents diagnosed with clinical depression can rely upon this breakthrough procedure called Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) due to its approval by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Treatment involves applying magnetic fields to the outside of the head. This non-invasive procedure focuses on the pre-frontal cortex of the brain, which is linked to mood. Stimulating this region can promote depression relief. TMS therapy does not involve drugs or surgery. It is a treatment for clinical depression patients who cannot tolerate the side effects of antidepression medication or who have not sufficiently responded to these drugs.
■ Reasons To Consider TMS, Studio City Residents. When evaluating TMS, Studio City residents should understand the following:
- TMS is Effective
- West Coast TMS Institute has an excellent history of successfully treating major depression. Tailored treatment results in a significant improvement in outcomes.
- TMS is a unique treatment because it does not affect the ability to perform daily activities. Patients remain awake and retain control of their bodies. Some even talk or watch television during treatments. They go about their regular activities following a procedure, which does not have a negative impact on cognition, walking, or driving.
- TMS Does Not Involve Drugs
- As a drug-free treatment, TMS can be administered to patients who are breast feeding or pregnant and those who have trouble tolerating medication side effects.
- Compared to Medications, the Side Effect Profile of TMS is Mild
- Facial or scalp discomfort or initial headache during a TMS procedure tends to be mild and experienced at the start of treatment. Non-prescription pain medication usually provides relief.
■ We Offer:
- Exceptionally affordable TMS while maintaining our commitment to quality and expertise.
- Convenient Location— West Coast TMS Institute is located in the San Fernando Valley city of Sherman Oaks within Los Angeles County in California. This attractive urban neighborhood is located at the intersection of the 101 and 405 freeways, making it a short drive from Studio City. Our center is away from Ventura Boulevard, allowing you to avoid street traffic both ways. Street parking is available at no charge and building parking fees are economical.
- Flexible Scheduling— We are available at your convenience. We do our best to accommodate patients who prefer to visit before, after, or during their work hours.
- Caring Team of Experts— Each of our team members strives to provide the best treatment available for your needs. Your recovery is our mission.
- Clinical Excellence and Outstanding Leadership— West Coast TMS Institute medical director Dr. Kira Stein, MD, has been in practice for longer than a decade and is a TMS Society of Southern California founding member. Dr. Stein is a board-certified psychiatrist and graduate of the Resnick Neuropsychiatric Hospital and the Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior UCLA adult psychiatry residency program. Dr. Stein also completed the intensive TMS program offered by the Berenson-Allen Center for Noninvasive Brain Stimulation at Harvard Medical School. Dr. Stein has the distinction of being one of the only psychiatrists in the Studio City area with extensive training and experience in all of the following: general adult psychiatry and psychopharmacology for men and women, reproductive psychiatry, and TMS. Never far from cutting-edge medical activity, Dr. Stein participates as a TMS research co-investigator at UCLA.
- Advanced Technology— West Coast TMS Institute uses the cutting-edge NeuroStar TMS Therapy© system, which is the only TMS device available in the United States that received FDA approval.

Welcome to GasBuddy! Keep adding to your consecutive days and forum posts numbers each day! Glad to see you continue moving up in points towards your next car level! Keep posting, it's nice seeing GBs come back each day! Have a nice weekend! Thanks gas buddy! Good luck!
Being a GasBuddy is pretty easy, just post 5 gas prices each day from a few local gas stations! Not much to that, that's pretty easy! Many GasBuddies say they don't care about points and prove it by getting much less than 750 points each day, or dropping out soon after they become a GB, or before they get to 500k! 273,750 points is the total a GasBuddy would be accumulating in 1 year just posting 5 gas prices each day! Pretty easy! Accumulating consecutive days by posting 5 gas prices each day is just an indicator as GasBuddies post gas prices for others that come and use GasBuddy each day, JUST LIKE YOU, and deserve FRESH GAS prices posted each day by dedicated GasBuddies providing a service for many others seeking lower gas prices, JUST LIKE YOU! IT'S REALLY NOT ABOUT THE POINTS! But, by getting the maximum points (975) each day will enable a GB to get to the NEXT CAR LEVEL SOONER, if you're interested in getting there SOONER! Thanks gas buddy!
Do you vote each week in "This Week's Opinion Poll?" You get 100 points each week just for the poll. The majority points come from posting only 5 gas prices at 150 points each for 750 points EACH DAY. Other points come from 5 news articles at 25 points each (the easiest points to get each and every day, just click on the links, Home page, left side middle), posting to 5 GB forums topics, click on "Forum" and/or posting 5 replies to news articles, see Home page, at 20 points each. You can do 5 only for points each day. It would be nice to see your "Forum Posts" numbers INCREASE EACH DAY gaining extra points towards your NEXT CAR LEVEL SOONER! The number of forum posts come from posting to news articles or any number of GB forum topics with a maximum of 5 each day adding to your points! Hope this helps you to get more points on GasBuddy each day, if you're interested, it would be nice to see every GB getting 975 points each day! Thanks!

On Friday, I'm leaving Fordham to join the See Forever Foundation in D.C., which operates the Maya Angelou Public Charter Schools and an Academy at New Beginnings, D.C.'s secure facility for committed youth. (The Academy was recently profiled on Rock Center.)
Before I go, I'd like to share a few of my takeaways from a year and a half of reporting and opining on the nation's school finance challenges.
Around the country, reformers have won modest breakthroughs on education policy, especially at the state and local level. Charter schools' access to facilities has improved somewhat, administrators have been given greater spending flexibility, mayors have won control of urban systems and installed reform-minded leadership.
Policy cannot mandate high-quality outcomes, however. Even with new flexibilities and opportunities, too many schools continue to do the same old, same old. Clearly K-12 education as an industry needs to develop greater leadership capacity in order to use newly-won flexibility to full effect.
Reformers are getting ahead of the curve, however. The emergence of the PIE Network, CEE-Trust, CRPE's portfolio districts, and other efforts illustrate a growing, healthy emphasis on implementation.
The United States is one of the biggest spenders on education in the OECD, yet starting teacher salaries are low. That reflects our primary strategy of the last two decades: When problems crop up, we throw more and more...
Guest blogger Sean Gill is a fiscal policy analyst with StudentsFirst.
As in many states, school districts in Pennsylvania struggle to balance their budgets. A recent survey found that more than 140 Keystone State school districts anticipate insolvency in coming years and eight districts said they were already unable to pay their bills. In the state capital, the Harrisburg schools narrowly avoided having to cancel Kindergarten altogether.
Did the difficult economy of the last several years cause these budget woes? Are waste or financial mismanagement to blame? While districts like Harrisburg have received less state money than before the economic downturn due to declining enrollment, the underlying answer to how things got so bad is simple but frustrating: We really don't know.
Pennsylvania, like many other states, lacks the financial rules and policies to ensure transparency and fiscal accountability in its schools. Without that, the public can't determine why districts face insolvency or ensure that officials are making wise spending decisions on behalf of schools and children.
Yes, Pennsylvania school districts receive annual financial audits and produce other reports of financial information. Unfortunately, the focus of these reports is limited and they fail to provide clarity on why spending decisions were made or to help parents, school administrators, and others determine which expenditures produced the best results for student achievement. These reports may also come too late:...
Yesterday's Wall Street Journal shared the (mostly) happy story that the market for debt issued by charter schools to finance facilities and other purchases is growing. Institutional investors and banks understand charters—and the risks they have to manage—much better than in past years, and that's translating to lower borrowing costs for schools. (Note in the excerpt below that when bond prices go up, the interest rates paid by borrowers go down—there's an inverse relationship there.)
This is the first chapter in what should turn out to be a long story. Relatively few investment firms and banks are active in lending to charter schools, and not all lenders understand this market. Because of this, charter schools in areas that are not well-served by sophisticated lenders are probably paying more than they should to borrow money.
The quality of the charter law, authorizers, and the schools themselves matters a lot, too,...
Teachers have undoubtedly suffered financially in recent years. The pain has largely been borne by early-career teachers in the form of layoffs, pension cuts, and pay freezes. In the D.C. area, where fiscal pressure is starting to ease, raises are coming back—good, but not great news for young teachers.
The good news is that school boards in Montgomery County, Arlington, and other districts are increasing pay instead of cutting class sizes, despite opposition from parents. The cost in Fairfax County was a one-pupil increase in the student-teacher ratio.
Across-the-board raises help experienced teachers much more than others, however. In absolute dollars, a 4 or 5 percent raise on an $85 or 90 thousand salary dwarfs the equivalent increase a first-year teacher sees on $40K. For districts that are among the nation's front-runners in teacher evaluation and the development of meaningful career paths, across the board raises are a disappointing sop to the status quo.
District leaders who are looking for next-generation models to apply in their own schools could do worse than consider Public Impact's recent recommendations. Its recent whitepaper sketches a variety of career paths that would allow star teachers to expand their impact on students—and increase their take-home pay.
Rewarding teachers who sacrificed pay and job stability during the recession makes sense. But K-12 leaders should focus on improving the competitiveness of pay in early years and tie pay to teachers' contributions and progress along career...
Guest blogger Rebecca Sibilia is the director of fiscal strategy for StudentsFirst.
School leaders in cities, school districts, and states across the country continue to grapple with revenue shortfalls that often require teacher layoffs. Unfortunately, the impact of these layoffs is exacerbated when schools are required to use Last-In, First-Out (LIFO) policies, which require layoffs to be issued in the order of reverse seniority, because such rules mean more teachers, of all skill levels, will lose their jobs.
While the problems of quality-blind layoffs that force good teachers out of the classroom are obvious, the way these policies exacerbate the disruptive impact of teacher layoffs is also important. LIFO not only hurts students by firing newer teachers regardless of their performance, it also harms students and teachers by requiring that districts lay off a greater numbers of teachers than they would need to let go in a system that was based on performance.
A recent study in Education Next showed that only 16 percent of teachers laid-off under LIFO would also be laid-off in a system that uses performance, rather than seniority, as the deciding factor. Good teachers can be found at every level of experience. When districts make quality-based layoffs, we assume that an equal number of veteran and new teachers will be affected. Because teachers are typically paid based on their years of experience, this means that layoffs based on effectiveness will more likely produce savings closer to an average teacher salary, instead of a new...
Rahm Emanuel, in his previous life as the President's Chief of Staff, famously said in 2008, "You never want a serious crisis to go to waste." Rahmbo and his home state of Illinois might want to take that advice as the Land of Lincoln's public pension system unravels at the seams. Rather than place their hopes in a failing system, public workers deserve a fundamental rethink of their retirement options.
Gov. Pat Quinn has proposed a major reform, one radical enough to gain the approval of the Wall Street Journal editorial board. This plan simply hammers on workers and retirees, however, without improving portability of benefits or ensuring that young teachers get a fair chance at accruing retirement wealth. Illinois should consider 401k-style defined-contribution plans or cash-balance accounts instead of its legacy pension system for teachers.
Special interests predictably claim reforms cannot and will not save money due to transition costs, a fact noted by the University of Arkansas' Robert Costrell in a policy brief released today by the Laura and John Arnold Foundation. The Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois makes just this claim.
Prof. Costrell's brief lays out in helpful detail why this isn't true, but the following graph tells the story succinctly, using California as an example:
It's clear that transitioning away from defined-benefit pensions plans can save money in the long run. The question is whether...
For school administrators and board members lost in the forest of books, reports, and briefs written on "doing more with less," this outstanding volume provides a compass, map, and sturdy walking stick. Finance guru (and former superintendent of Arlington [MA] Public Schools) Nathan Levenson offers rational, honest, and tangible ways for cash-strapped district leaders to shed budget heft without compromising student learning. Guided by four principles—embrace "crazy" ideas, analyze details to make informed decisions, spend on what works, and align interests—Levenson explains how to manage even the most sacrosanct of education-budget items (all without the need for legislative changes or union approval). For example, district leaders should base funding on academic return on investment (A-ROI) determinations—cutting ineffective programs and beefing up those that see results. Take early investment in reading: In an average-sized elementary school (about 400 students), early reading intervention costs about $2,500 per child (and takes about three years to get struggling students up to grade level). Compare this with special-education referral and placement—which costs an additional $5,000 per year (for mild to moderately disabled students) and likely will last throughout the student's K-12 career. This need to look beyond singular budget line-items manifests in staffing costs as well. Superintendents must think about fully loaded costs (salary plus benefits) when planning for personnel shifts—and must be willing to think creatively about how to fill certain positions. Levenson provides an anecdote: To save the district long-term...
Guest blogger Matthew M. Chingos is a fellow at the Brookings Institution's Brown Center on Education Policy. A version of this post originally appeared on the Up Front blog.
After months of the presidential candidates paying minimal attention to education, the interest rates on federal student loans emerged as a hot-button political issue this week. These loans play a crucial role in ensuring meaningful post-secondary opportunities for American students, both at Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs and four-year institutions, which is why it's disconcerting to see both Barack Obama and Mitt Romney present proposals on this issue that may be good politics but are bad policy.
This week President Obama is heavily promoting his plan to keep the interest rate on one type of student loan in particular—new subsidized federal loans—at 3.4 percent. The rate will revert to 6.8 percent in July if Congress does not extend the temporary rate reduction that was enacted in 2007. Federal loans like these are an important source of financial support for community college students, a group Obama has portrayed as a priority for his administration. In 2007-08, 20 percent of full-time community college students received loans from the federal government, up from 12 percent in 1999-2000. This number has likely increased during the economic downturn of the last few years. At for-profit two-year colleges, 94 percent of students received federal loans in 2007-08.
"This plan is aggressive." Those are the words used by School District of Philadelphia Chief Academic Officer Penny Nixon this morning in a press conference announcing a massive reform of K-12 education in the City of Brotherly Love. These changes come not a moment too soon: Philly's schools were facing massive deficits and ranked among the worst of America's large urban school districts.
The School Recovery Committee deserves credit for making smart structural changes to the way Philly will operate in the future. Aggressive plans often entail mindless slashing of schools and headcount so that "business as usual" can continue elsewhere. The SRC instead plans to bolster parental choice, prizing the development of "high-performing seats" wherever they can be found over protecting the legacy school district at all costs. According to the Inquirer's Kristen Graham, the district also plans to restructure employee benefits, saving $156 million of the projected $218 million deficit for next fiscal year. A 7 percent reduction in per-pupil payments to charters is counterproductive, however: If the SRC really want high quality seats, it shouldn't cut charter funding.
District leaders around the country have been tempted into believing that the "new normal" of anemic revenue growth (or no growth at all) would be temporary. This has led to short-sighted cuts and quality-blind layoffs that supes and school boards hope will be reversed when the economy improves. In districts...
The U.S. spends more per capita on education than every other country in the OECD except Switzerland. Yet teacher salaries are relatively low, especially for early-career teachers, students underperform their OECD peers on international tests, and college students feel their K-12 education was inadequate preparation for higher ed. The solution to all these problems may just be to pay teachers more money, especially in salary rather than expensive fringe benefits.
Our education system has developed an obsession with remediation, both for students and teachers. Youngsters fall behind quickly (or start behind) and start an endless round of pull-out instruction, reading groups, remedial courses, and tutoring early. For educators, districts have now beefed up the payroll with instructional coaches, teacher aides, and other paraprofessionals who bring (costly) support and advice but wield little authority. This addiction to support is unhealthy—every dollar spend on remediation and extraneous personnel could be going to pay front-line teachers more.
We released a policy brief yesterday that goes deeper on these points, How School Districts Can Stretch the School Dollar. Public Impact has also weighed in on the importance of high-quality, well-compensated teaching with a fantastic new website and infographic.
Trimming school budgets must involve some cuts to payrolls; staff costs constitute the majority of education spending. They need not hurt classrooms, however. With a more intense focus on rewarding quality teachers, especially undercompensated early-career stars, schools can become more cost-efficient and more effective....

Measuring flour - I just scoop and shake off the excess as you suspected
Two other things you pointed out, that I feel are important in this "Recipe" are:
1: the "break point" in the poolish, watch for the peak and get it before it falls and yes it should be around 4 hrs 45 min
2: kneading, watch for the dough to clear the sides but not bottom of the bowl. If it clears the bottom, the dough will be too dry
If i had to guess, I'd say the hydration will wind up in the high 60's and not closer to 80, My Sicilian dough and focaccia are probably in the 80's.
Here are links to pic of some pies made with this "Recipe"
Oh yea Pete, you were right, you have to work fast to top this pie on the peel or it will stick. Maybe this little point will help people to understand the "feel" of this dough
Hope all this helps a little

Thanks for the additional information.
I measured out the flour just as you did because I figured that that is the method you would use because of its utter simplicity. I think I may have actually been a bit on the dry side with my dough because it did not quite stick to the middle of the bowl, even at 66% hydration. As I reported, I made one dough ball. If you were to make just one dough ball, would you let it rise the second time? I can see that with two dough balls they might need some time to recover from handling, shaping, etc. From your photos, it looks like you may have used honey instead of barley malt syrup. Is that correct? Because of the high hydration, I think that it might be worth trying a perforated disk or maybe even a perforated cutter pan (both dark anodized). There seems to be plenty of lift in the dough to still be able to have good oven spring. Using a disk or pan will make it much easier for someone to dress the pizza and not fear that it will stick to the peel.

Thanks for the clarifications... I usually watch for a silver dollar sized spot of dough in the bottom of the mixer bowl and that's when I quit with the flour. I use the "stir, spoon, sweep" method which explains why I have to add a little more flour than you do! It makes sense! As for the poolish, I didn't wait for the signs of falling back, mostly because I was pressed for time. I think it could have gone a little longer, based on the fact that my kitchen temp is about 3 or 4 degrees cooler than Peter's. All good knowledge to have!
And remember, the best--and only--compliment you will get from aba is his silence.
Thanks for the subjective comments. I know you are a science-guy and sometimes it's hard for science-guys to be subjective... objectivity is the norm. Recipes like Jerry's, are mix of art and science, which is why I really enjoy making this recipe! My educational background is both scientific and artistic, so I guess that explains my being drawn to a VM recipe.
And yes, I had issues with the dough sticking to the peel, so I solved it by the use of parchment paper. If you look at the photo of my tomato/cheese pie, the parchment is still there. Since it was the second pie baked, the parchment didn't turn as black as the first pie...with my oven set to 550, the paper under the first pizza browned/blackened at the edges and became very brittle but didn't catch fire. I realize that I sacrificed some crispness (but not MUCH!) by removing the initial direct contact of the dough with the moisture-absorbing stone. With the first pie, I pulled the parchment out as soon as the crust had set, so that crust was quite crisp. The crust on the tomato pie was still very good, but I wish I had let the oven/stone recover more. Or perhaps I should have started it on the hotter upper stone and moved it down. That's an experiment for the next time!
But, bottom line, I would much rather use parchment than a cold pan to resolve the sticking issue.
Thanks for the compliments! I'm sorry to hear of your issues and hope that you will be able to return to pizza making soon! How you must torture yourself looking at these photos!

sourdough girl,
Technically, what Jerry uses as a preferment is not a "poolish", which requires using equal weights of flour and water. It is quite possible that the break point will be more readily detectable in a classic poolish, and similarly for a sponge, than a more watery one like Jerry's. I calculated a hydration of around 128% for the preferment I made using Jerry's recipe, whereas a classic poolish will have a hydration of 100%. This is just a technical point since the differences aren't likely to have a significant effect on the final outcome. However, for someone using a scale, it might make it a bit easier to measure out the flour and water.
FYI, according to theartisan.net treatise on yeast, at
(click on "Fermentation Control" in the left panel and look under Sponge Doughs), after the break point arrives there is still time left to use the preferment. As a practical matter, even if the preferment is past its prime it can still contribute acids and other byproducts of fermentation that will enhance the crust flavors, although some might not find the flavors entirely appealing if the preferment ferments too much. Also, it may be necessary to make other adjustments to the ingredients that go into the final mix to compensate for the higher acid levels, sugar depletion, etc.
The reason for my objectivity with Jerry's recipe is to be able to determine how much dough I would need to make a pizza of another size while still retaining the characteristics of Jerry's finished crust. For example, if I asked you or Jerry how to do that using volume measurements for an 18" pizza, how would you instruct me?

Thanks for the clarification of poolish v preferment. I always thought that preferment was an umbrella term for all types... poolish, sponge, biga, etc and didn't realize that there was a specific hydration for each. Since my preferment had not started to fall back, I'm guessing that I might have gotten even more flavor out of it had I had the luxury of a little more time.
I fully understand the need for you to convert this recipe to BPs because there is no way I could tell you the information you need based on what I always make for DH and me. When I discovered that the pizzas Jerry was making were larger than what my peel will hold, I used my KitchenCalc
to scale the recipe down by 2/3 and it worked perfectly. I now make 2 11" pizzas. Were we to have guests, I would use the full recipe... but as far as an 18"? No clue, I wouldn't be able to help you at all.

sourdough girl,
I don't know how to do it by volumes either. However, if I were satisfied with the dough formulation I posted earlier, I could scale that up to the 18" size quite easily--or to any other size for that matter. However, if I were to be really serious about this kind of exercise, I would perhaps rework Jerry's recipe to use a classical poolish. I would do this simply because all of the formula water is used in the poolish and I could just use the same weight of flour for the poolish as for the water. Once the poolish fermentation time is established, I would then have to determine the amount of additional flour (by weight) to use as part of the final mix to achieve the dough condition that Jerry described. If the pizza turned out well, I could then come up with a new dough formulation based on baker's percents. I think it should then be possible to convert the flour for that version from weights to volumes now that I know how Jerry measures out his flour. Or else I could specify my own method of doing the conversions or use November's Mass-Volume Conversion Calculator at

Just would like to start by saying that while this is my first post, it's definitely not my first pizza. I've made some really good ones, and some horrible ones (my fiancee can attest).
Anyway, I followed the recipe right on (except for a couple of high altitude changes, Colorado Springs 6500 ft) but I prepped it very differently.
Instead of Jerry's process with the poolish, I let my, ahem, bread maker (shhhhhhhh) handle everything. 1 1/3 cup of warm water mixed with the tbl of honey in first, 3+ cups of bread flour on top with indentions for my 1 1/2 tsp of kosher salt and 1 3/4 tsp yeast.
It came out of the bread maker pretty moist, but nothing a floured surface wouldn't fix. It's the perfect amount of dough for two 14" pies. My electric oven only goes to 500, but they came off the stone soooo perfectly. This were easily the pizzas I've ever made.
Thanks for the recipe, Jerry!

Hi Everyone,
Here's my shot at the JerryMac recipe. This pizza recipe was awesome. Better than my old recipe.
, you are awesome!
I baked this up here in the Mile High City in a 550 degree oven on the pizza stone.
(Interesting note - I didn't need to add more flour after the initial amount was measured into the mixer.... My guess is because of the high & dry altitude of Denver.)
Pizza was awesome - lots of air/bubble pockets - nice crispy chewy crust. Very easy to make and work with. Here's some pics...

That is a nice looking pie. I have been surprised at how many different looking pies have been made using Jerry's recipe. Did you depart from it in any way, for example, in terms of the ingredients, preparation methods, or pizza size?

Hi Peter,
for the interest.
I stuck to the recipe for the whole thing (big deviation is Colorado altitude/climate). I used King Arthur Bread Flour throughout.
The poolish was exact per recipe. For the dough, I used the honey (vs. barley malt). I only needed the 1 1/2 cups of flour (I measured flour as JerryMac does above by scooping/shaking off excess).
The thing I found most interesting is I didn't have to add any flour (after the initial 1.5 cups) to the kitchen-aid mixer that was running. From the looks of what I had in the mixing bowl - it looked like it would clear the sides of bowl without the additional flour...and sure enough, it did! So I didn't add any more.
When I got it out of bowl it had a good balanced feel - didn't feel too wet nor dry. I anticipated it being very loose (high hydration) from reading this thread, but it felt "just right". My guess is that living in the high-altitude and dry air here in Colorado rapidly soaks up that moisture from the dough.
I produced two dough balls that made the ~14" pies (since that's a 16" stone in photo) with oven at 550 degrees.
I also don't prefer a huge outer crust around the edges (I think that's called cornicione?), so that why the crust edges seem kind of low - I shape it that way on purpose per my taste.
I did forget to spray or add EVOO to edges of the crust before cooking. Next time I will try that.
I cut (with scissor) all my pies on wire rack like shown (to avoid condensation underneath). In the pie above - its just fresh cherry tomatoes (that I pureed) and mixed with EVOO/spices, and fresh mozzarella cheese from Costco (BelGioso).
I will definitely be using this again since its better than my old recipe.
Thanks again, to you and Mad_Ernie and JerryMac for some nice comments!

Last night my wife declared this my best pizza yet. She said the crust was 'perfect in every way.' I've tried many recipes on this forum and I think I have one I'm going to stick with. She said it the best flavor,texture, and chew...and she's quite hard to please.
I baked it for 4 min 20 sec in my Bakers Pride M02t oven at 640 degrees. Thanks JerryMacDaddy

In hopes of either confirming or setting a standard for non-textbook volume-mass conversions, I'm looking around at popular dough formulas that specify ingredient amounts in volumetric terms, and where a manual attempt at converting the measurements to weights has already been made. This dough formula, mentioned in the initial post, was analyzed and converted by Peter (Pete-zza) based on information given by the author as to how he measured his flour. Peter's post can be found here:
I wanted to see how close my analytics that went into the recent upgrade to the Mass-Volume Conversion Calculator (
) are compared to Peter's weighings. This was done with another dough formula recently with surprisingly similar numbers (
). For easy reference, I'll reiterate Peter's manually measured and calculated hydration for this dough formula: 66.242%. Using the M-VCC, with the "method of measurement" set at
Dip + Shake
(per the author's description), these are the weights:
219.3464 (1.5 c) King Arthur Bread Flour
315.4502 (1.1/3 c) water
258.7018 (1.75 c) King Arthur Bread Flour (per sourdough girl using 100+% of the flour)
The hydration from such values comes to: 65.9871% That's only off by 0.3848% from Peter's hydration. Changing the depth of the measuring cup by just 0.5 cm accounts for a difference of more than 8.5 times that. So it's safe to say it's within the margin of "cup-depth" error. {If water from honey (3.8880 g) is included, the hydration becomes: 66.8004%.} From this I conclude that once again, the method of measurement's influence on the weight of the ingredient has been adequately represented by the tool. I am satisfied with the approximation if Peter is; and if Peter is satisfied, maybe he won't have to keep running to his measuring cups and scale to determine the weight of everyone's flour when they present their dough formula volumetrically.

I'll always be happy being off by less than a half of a percent on the hydration. When I did the original volume measurements of flour, I tried not to be too self-conscious as I did it and to do it casually as I imagined Jerry would do it. I also knew that I would be able to make adjustments in the final mix because Jerry said that the dough should pull away from the sides of the bowl yet stick to the bowl in the middle. That was an important visual cue for me.
Using your tool should be a big help in the future. I will still have to ask the author of a recipe recited volumetrically how the flour and water were measured out--unless that information is provided up front--but at least I won't have to go to my measuring cups, spoons and scale.

OK Jerry,
I had to give your recipe a shot, the only thing I changed was the honey
to brown sugar. Otherwise everything was pretty much the same give or take
a few min here and there!
Your crust was excellent, it had a nice flavor and with the high hydration it was
easy to stretch out. The bottom baked up nicer than normal, and had a good texture to it.
All in all a recipe I would recommend for a one day 2stone bake.
temperature was 750 and the bake time was about 3 min.
Definitely better than any one day bake I have done so far.

Drawn to the attention that this topic had been getting, I decided to give this recipe a shot myself.
I didn't have to add much additional flour at all and was quite impressed with the ease of stretch with this dough, as my normal recipe requires more TLC for a good stretch.
The only place I deviated was letting the dough rise 2 hours in a metal bowl rather than the recommended 1.5 hours, and honestly it was simply an oversight on my part.
On the whole I was very impressed with the results. Because my stone and peel are on the smaller side I found that I had to roll the crust up a little bit to make it fit (which speaks to the fine stretching ability of this dough), which suited my fancy just fine. But the bottom was nice and thin with a delicious crust.
Sorry guys, I would take a picture and post it, but there just isn't anything left to photograph. I have the second ball of dough in the fridge now and will snap some pics of that tomorrow.
I think this recipe is very comparable to mine, and I very much appreciate that this allows for same day baking. I believe I will toy around with the recipe a little bit for my own sake, but I was very impressed Jerry.

Hello dear friends in Christ,
I have been searching for FT work for the past 5 months and last week, interviewed for a role which exceeds all that I have been praying for (Novena to the Infant of Prague and Our Lady!)! I find out later this week/early next week if I have been chosen and as you can imagine, I am hopeful, but nervous. Would you please join me in praying that I am offered the role, if its God's will??
The Prayer of St. Patrick
I arise today
Through the strength of heaven;
Light of the sun,
Splendor of fire,
Speed of lightning,
Swiftness of the wind,
Depth of the sea,
Stability of the earth,
Firmness of the rock.
I arise today
Through God's strength to pilot me;
God's might to uphold me,
God's wisdom to guide me,
God's eye to look before me,
God's ear to hear me,
God's word to speak for me,
God's hand to guard me,
God's way to lie before me,
God's shield to protect me,
God's hosts to save me
Afar and anear,
Alone or in a mulitude.
Christ shield me today
Against wounding
Christ with me, Christ before me, Christ behind me,
Christ in me, Christ beneath me, Christ above me,
Christ on my right, Christ on my left,
Christ when I lie down, Christ when I sit down,
Christ in the heart of everyone who thinks of me,
Christ in the mouth of everyone who speaks of me,
Christ in the eye that sees me,
Christ in the ear that hears me.
I arise today
Through the mighty strength
Of the Lord of creation.
