American's have boycotted anything and everything since the beginning of this Country – just as Mankind has boycotted whatever it didn't like since the beginning of time.
If something offends you – you stay away from it and you have bad things to say about it. This morning I wanted to throw a stink bomb into a Whirlpool appliance manufacturing facility. By afternoon I had gotten over it – but I will never buy another Whirlpool appliance! However, I have not as yet checked out FB or any other place to see if there is a Boycott Whirlpool page where I can spend a lot of time posting hate comments towards that manufacturer over and over. Then over and over some more!
Your average American may be outraged about something, may say a lot of things and they will not purchase anything they don't like, watch tv programs they don't like, eat food they don't like, buy clothes they don't like or go to movies they don't like. The Majority do not join boycott groups that soon slide into hate groups. Even if some do – they soon move on as hate is a very tiring thing! It inhabits you and infests everything around you and as we have seen over the last several weeks – makes some people go completely off their rockers.
Haters hate! When they can find an object or person to direct that hate at – they have found their utopia. The ideal community. Call it anything you want or proclaim moral high values – it still is what it is – the ideal community for such people who like to hate. Everything has a season and most move on when that season has ended.
The majority really don't like group think or group hate and they are well able to boycott on a personal and individual basis anything and everything they want to without a support group. Just like they always have.
Casey Anthony is a young woman and if she is able to live a long life – today there are many middle aged women who will grow old, while risking their health and cheating time from their families, all to sit behind a keyboard way too much simply to hate Casey Anthony!
Geniune boycotters? Not anymore.

Photo: Chris Farina - Top Rank -- Weights from AC: Kelly Pavlik 169 vs Bernard Hopkins 170 - Steve Luevano 126 vs Billy Dib 126 - Marco Antonio Rubio 159 vs Enrique Ornelas 160 By Evan Young, BoxingForecast.com - Bernard Hopkins takes on middleweight champ Kelly Pavlik at a catch weight of 170 pounds. Hopkins is almost 44 years old but is still fighting the best people in the game. Does Hopkins have enough tricks up his sleeve to get past the hard hitting Pavlik? Can Pavlik be the first to stop Hopkins? Hopkins talks the best game in boxing. After listening to him ramble on for a while you might get the impression that there isnt a man alive that could beat him and if they try they may end up a damaged, broken man perhaps even dead.. But anyone that has watched Hopkins over the past few years understands that he doesnt fight anything like he talks. The near 44 year old Hopkins fights with a high guard, a tucked chin and has a strategy like hes in a grand master chess tournament, not a fight. In other words, he is beyond calculating. And at this point in his career you would be fortunate to get 30 seconds of thrill in a 36 minute fight. Yup, its excruciatingly painful to watch BHOP these days. But he is still the greatest con man on earth as hell regale us all with how he came of age at the Greaterford state penitentiary and how he is the hardest man ever to come of the ghetto. He was once a great fighter but right now he liberally uses smoke and mirrors to make great fighters look bad while doing just enough to lose. Yet he still has his grand name and is competitive enough to land these big money fights. Secretly hes probably laughing to himself about how hes going to make millions when most smart hard core boxing aficionados know hes not relevant anymore. But hell get people to buy his PPV on the unlikely premise that something amazing happens. Mainly, I think people are coming to see if someone can finally, thoroughly hammer and stop Hopkins or conversely will Hopkins pull out some magical performance that justifies his tiresome rhetoric. Hopkins nowadays throws about 25 punches around, still has a brick wall for a defense, has a rock solid chin and still has enough savvy and experience to make good fighters pay for a mistake. He even dropped Calzaghe with a beautiful right in their fight last April. But over time he couldnt deal with the speed and work rate of Calzaghe and lost another decision where he could claim he was competitive. Now Hopkins faces, perhaps, the most dangerous opponent of his career. Pavlik is tall, with a jab like a right cross and very heavy hands. And Pavlik uses those hands frequently, keeping up an enormous work rate that about 90% of the time ends the fight before the final bell. Pavlik has passed every test in his young career with flying colors. He won the middleweight title from Hopkins conqueror Jermain Taylor and convincingly beat Taylor in a rematch. Pavlik has handled tough and hard punching veterans Edison Miranda and Jose Luis Zertuche with startling brutality. Pavlik takes a good shot, despite being dropped by Taylor when he got careless, and is physically very strong along with having superb stamina. The only thing that may be a detriment to Pavlik is thats hes a predictable fighter. Everything is upfront with Pavlik, there are no secrets. Hes going to come forward behind his monster jab and throw heavy right hands and left hooks, uppercuts and body shots until he wins. But hes so proficient at what he does, it doesnt matter if an opponent knows what to expect. Pavlik is still likely to impose his will score another impressive KO. In spite of Hopkins hyperbole, which does appear genuine, I dont think hell win this fight. 8 of his last 9 fights have gone the distance. Since 2004, his only win inside the distance was a body shot KO of Oscar de la Hoya in a fight that had decision written all over it. Hopkins is the more experienced and savvy fighter but that should not translate into a performance that should turn back a hard punching, strong, busy and tough young tiger. Hopkins may be able to exploit the Pavlik predictability factor but only to a degree. The only question for me in this fight is will Pavlik become the first guy to stop Hopkins or will he win a decision over Old Man River. I want to pick a Pavlik KO, it has a good price and I would like to see it, but it would go against my better judgment. And Nard is so savvy and cagey and just dangerous enough that he can slow a pace down to crawl and is an expert at holding and riding dirty on the inside. One thing about Hopkins, he is not stupid. He will not engage in a way that leaves him open. He is very difficult to tag with more than one punch at a time and simply knows how to kill off rounds in a fight. But Pavlik is the strongest guy Hopkins has seen and if Hopkins finds himself forced to ropes, he may be subject to some brutal body blows. And while Hopkins was never hurt by Calzaghe, whom is super fast but not heavy handed, he did show a weakness when he feigned a low blow in the 10th round and began writhing around on the canvas, doing a very poor acting job. Although he got himself some precious rest and was actually able to close that round with some gusto. But in my view showed he was tired and uncomfortable in the ring and I thought it belied his ultra tough jailhouse image that he identifies himself with. But Hopkins still has great pride and as much as Im tired of his old shtick, he was once a great champion and will be a first ballot hall of fame fighter once he actually retires and deserves respect for his previous ring (in and out hes the best manager, his own, in the game) accomplishments. He still trains like a Spartan and I havent seen enough of a chink in his armor to think that hes ready to be put down and out. If Hopkins realizes he cant win hell go into survival mode only like he can and will stink things out two fold and slink to the final bell. Hopkins is calculating and cautious but he can still strike like a cobra from time to time especially on the mistake of an opponent. Expect Hopkins to land a few strikes but be simply outworked by the younger, stronger man for another unsatisfactory decision loss for Hopkins. For Hopkins, he can make any fight like a glorified sparring session but not many can turn that into a pot of gold. But if Hopkins can lose close dont be surprised to see him back making another big score against a name opponent. And hell regurgitate his prison to riches story again for all of us to enjoy.

processes and such skills as the ability to solve problems and work effectively in teams, as well as the kinds of knowledge and skills measured on state assessments and college admission tests. Participation in formal STEM courses in middle and high school and other kinds of STEM education—such as through museums, after-school clubs or programs, internship and research experiences—could be used as indicators of students' engagement.
Some states have data that allow the identification of schools in which students in the aggregate appear to perform particularly well or particularly poorly on achievement tests.24 Such analyses, however, provide little information about the instructional practices and conditions in individual schools, so identifying criteria in this way does not help schools determine how to achieve desired outcomes or to decide which aspects of an apparently successful school to replicate. Researchers at the National Center for Scaling Up Effective Schools are working to link data on high- and low-performing schools with survey data on instructional practices and organizational conditions, but their research was only just beginning at the time of this report.
AREAS FOR FUTURE RESEARCH ON CRITERIA RELATED TO OUTCOMES: Additional research and data are needed on organizational and instructional practices to complement the growing body of longitudinal data on student outcomes, as well as additional research that measures outcomes other than test scores.
It is also possible to think about effective STEM schools in terms of different school types or programs that focus on STEM. Such schools are often viewed as the best route to achieve desired STEM outcomes. Indeed, it is conceivable that a specific school type or program, on average, produces stronger student outcomes than other models. Such schools and programs are important because they can serve as exemplars for districts across the nation that are attempting to elevate the quality of STEM education. The schools of interest are typically characterized by specific attention to the STEM disciplines, often for a targeted population, such as highly talented students or students from underserved groups. This specific attention to STEM frequently manifests itself in a rigorous curriculum that deepens STEM learning over time, more instructional time devoted to STEM, more resources available to teach STEM, and teachers who are more prepared to teach in the STEM disciplines.
The committee identified three broad categories of STEM-focused schools that have the potential to meet the overarching goals for U.S. STEM education that we have described: selective STEM schools, inclusive STEM schools, and schools with STEM-focused career and technical education (CTE). Although these categories do not represent the full universe of STEM-focused schools, each category includes many different models of schools, and most of these models can be adapted for any level of the education system (elementary, middle, secondary). Each type of school has strengths and weaknesses and poses a unique set of challenges associated with implementation.

London 2012 – Best Games Ever
To mark the United Nation's International Day for Persons with Disabilities on 3 December, the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) will launch a short online film "London 2012 – Best Games Ever", featuring spectacular highlights from this summer's Paralympics.
The film, which can be viewed above, or at http://bit.ly/BestGamesEver (from 00:00 CET on 3 December) takes viewers through a rollercoaster of emotions: disappointment, anger, relief, joy, delight and satisfaction, by telling the stories of a number of Paralympians and showcasing their sporting abilities.
Key moments include Great Britain's Ellie Simmonds tearful victory in the 400m freestyle, former racing driver Alex Zanardi's first Paralympic handcycling win on the Brands Hatch track, Oscar Pistorius' shock defeat in the 200m T44 as well as Jonnie Peacock's epic 100m T44 win.
The film celebrates the achievements of Paralympians who, as post London 2012 research has shown, have created a seismic shift in the perceptions of people with an impairment in the UK and around the world.
Charity United Research found 81% of British adults changed their viewpoint of persons with a disability due to the Games. A further 85% felt athletes were people to aspire to. London 2012 found 65% of people thought the Games were a breakthrough to viewing disabled people – up from 40% in June 2010."
The film ties in with the theme of this year's International Day for Persons with Disabilities, 'removing barriers to create an inclusive and accessible society for all'.
IPC President, Sir Philip Craven said: "We are delighted to launch this highly emotional video to coincide with the UN's International Day for Persons with Disabilities as Paralympians, through their performances in London, did more than anyone to make for an inclusive world.
"In my London 2012 opening address I said those watching the Games would experience every single emotion, including ones never thought possible whilst at the same time challenging the way they think about themselves and how they think about others.
"This sensational video, which brought a tear to my eye when I first saw it, does exactly that. It's a real mixture of raw emotions that will leave you feeling both elated and drained at the same time.
"The performances of athletes in London did not just inspire a generation, they changed a generation as the research shows.
"Thanks to the athletes and the Games barriers have been broken down and the world is now more inclusive and accessible than it was per London 2012.
UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has also noted the impact the London 2012 Paralympics had on changing perceptions in his official message for the day.
"This year's Paralympic Games were a reminder of the immense potential of persons with disabilities to soar and to inspire," he said.
"One girl wrote to a Paralympic gold-medal champion, 'Watching as you overcome the difficulties of life, reaching for new victories and new heights in sports, I derive strength and inspiration.'"
The film can be viewed here: http://bit.ly/BestGamesEver from 00:00 CET on Monday 3 December.

Such a cute vignette. I hate to hear you have to move but truly your home is where your family is. You can make a home any where and I am sure you will make it lovely. God bless.
ReplyDelete Hi Jo,
I was so happy to see that you posted!! You and your girls have been in my thoughts and prayers. Best of luck with the move and having a rental home isn't that bad, I live in one now and it's really nice, plus if something goes wrong, the owner takes care of it, which is one less worry!!~
Your vignette is so beautiful!! Love the scale.
Take care and keep in touch.
MelindaJo, I love the Spring Vignette-so cute!! I love that Spanish Lavender-really beautiful!! I'm sorry you have to move. I will be moving as of 5/1/12 too. We are in a rental now and we are having a house built. The lease on our rental isn't up until next May (2013)so we want to make sure there is a new renter in here so we don't get stuck paying rent and a mortgage payment starting in October.
ReplyDeleteHello Dear Jo!!! I love your Spring Vignette - so very beautiful!!! Keep us updated on your move - I'm sure you will find something great for you and your girls!!! Your post is making me miss my family in Central Cali - I remember how gorgeous those orchards look in the spring! Wishing you a most beautiful and blessed week, my friend!
JessieIt is such a nice surprise to see a post from you Jo!! ;) It looks like you are getting inspired again and that makes me so happy for you!!! Beautiful photos. Im sure you will find a the perfect cozy rental that you can put your personal touch on without worrying about what a "man" thinks!lol.. xoxo Rachel
ReplyDeleteHey sweetie pie! I'm glad that you followed your heart and picked up your camera once again. Your vignettes are always so utterly beautiful! Know that you and your girls continue to be in my prayers as you continue on this journey. Be easy on yourself and take one day at a time. Know that you have a TON of gals out here who have your back and are lifting you up!! Hugs to you, Jo! ♥
xoox laurieHope you are feeling better! I left you a comment in January, and have prayed for you. It's so hard to go through these changes, and moving when you didn't want to- is very difficult, but you are so talented, and you will make a sweet new home in another place. Also you have such a strong support base of blogging friends, and that is a blessing and an important resource.
I liked seeing your flowers and I hope you pot up some of that unusual lavender to take with you. I brought some plants with me and it helped me recover when I had to move.
I lost my home 20 years ago when I divorced my husband, and again recently, just last summer, lost my home, but I learned that I can start over and replace things over time.
But you must take care of yourself, nurture yourself with beauty, good food, and love. Surround yourself with positive people and great books. I hope your new job is fun, it's good to be out and around people. I hope some wonderful things happen for you with the arrival of spring! Be Blessed! LindaJo, I am so sorry you are having to go through all of this. You are so creative and talented and I know you will make your new home cozy and lovely. Be kind to yourself and give yourself some much needed nurturing. Your new house will become a home because you have your lovely daughters with you and that's what is important. You will all come up with creative ideas and it will be wonderful. The main thing is to take care of yourself. Remember, you are in all of our thoughts and hearts and we are right here for you.
Your photos and vignettes are lovely as always. I am glad you are posting again.
Sending you lots of love. XOAnd more thoughts I want to share with you, Jo...
I went through a divorce when I was 28. I had a 2-year-old and 4-year-old, I hadn't worked in 7 years and I was terrified. But HOPE kept me moving forward, and in time I married again, and everything worked out better than ever.
Enter 2000 - both my husband and I lost our software jobs when the .com bubble burst. We sold our home at a loss and moved to our mountain property in a tiny trailer. Years passed. Time and HOPE brought possibilities, and possibilities brought us to where we are today - living in our tiny cottage in the woods.
I think if you decide to open an online shop, you will do great! Your taste is exquisite. We opened online shops and it helped us through our most difficult years.
Everything will work out and you will be happy again. Really.
More hugs,
ZuzuJo I am delighted to see another post from you. Your work is exquisite - you are such a gifted lady. I understand your sense of trepidation about moving - I too am a settler and find the idea of moving uncomfortable. I have no doubt that you will turn your new accommodation into a beautiful home for you and your girls. You are doing wonderfully! Keep up the great work. God bless you and your girls. Huggles, Shirley xxx

All the very best to you - it is encouraging to see that so many caring individuals have left you really warm, caring and uplifting messages. Your blog is lovely and it is by sharing yourself and your love for the things surrounding you that you, perhaps without realising it, touch others lives. May there be blooms and abundance waiting for you, no matter where you go. With warm greetings from the tip of Africa :)I'm jealous of the scale you have. It looks so vintage yet so pretty in a retro type of way. I have a boring simple scale at my house. I want a vintage one like yours.

Title: | Oral history interview with Ruth Vick, 1973 |
Date: | 1973 |
Description: | Ruth Vick joined the Southern Regional Council (SRC) in the 1940s, becoming its only black employee at the time, and rising through the ranks to become a board member at the time of the interview. In her lengthy conversation with two interviewers, Vick discusses decades of SRC history, describing its leadership, organizational details, internal politics, and the SRC's place in the growing civil rights movement. The SRC supported the direct action strategies of the civil rights movement that emerged in force in the 1950s and 1960s, but chose study over sit-ins as a means of change. Vick devotes a great deal of time to discussing the role of African Americans within the organization. The SRC was not immune to the pervasive racism of the segregated South, and African Americans struggled for recognition and equal treatment within the organization. The Civil Rights Digital Library received support from a National Leadership Grant for Libraries awarded to the University of Georgia by the Institute of Museum and Library Services for the aggregation and enhancement of partner metadata. |

Description: |
In an effort to improve the quality of care for infants and toddlers, Virginia implemented an Infant-Toddler Specialist Network (ITSN) that builds on existing community initiatives and partnerships. Child Development Resources (CDR), a nonprofit involved in several early childhood projects in the state, was selected by the Virginia Department of Social Services to administer the ITSN. The Network's activities are guided by a state-level leadership council made up of representatives from agencies and organizations providing services to the birth-to-three population. Service delivery is managed in each of the state's eight regions by sub-contracted organizations that were selected through a competitive grant process. CDR made an intentional effort to select diverse regional offices, such as institutions of higher education, child-focused nonprofits, and county government agencies, so that each would bring unique knowledge, experience, and strategies to the project. |

I had high hopes for PKR.com. The 3D poker room has the best software I've seen. You can play for real money in a video game atmosphere.
Unless, like me, you live in the United States.
PKR launched real-money games on its site on August 17, but passed on allowing U.S. residents to make wagers on its tables. In the weeks leading up to the decision, the House of Representatives had passed the Internet Gambling Prohibition and Enforcement Act, and BetOnSports.com CEO David Carruthers was arrested on U.S. soil.
"It was a very painful decision," said Jez San, president of PKR. "But we thought it prudent to launch after there was clarity from the Senate."
With industry experts suggesting that the Senate probably would not act on Internet gambling restrictions, I tried my luck in one of PKR's freeroll tournaments. My eighth place finish netted me $0.60 in my account.
San assured me that PKR would open for business to U.S. players when Congress recessed at the end of September, as long as Internet gambling legislation did not pass. So I let my $0.60 remain in my account, waiting for October when I'd sit down in a $.01/$.02 no limit game and try to build a bankroll from scratch.
Then, Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-Tenn.) managed to attach the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act to a ports security bill. It sailed through Congress with almost no resistance and was signed by President Bush on Oct. 13.
"Given this development, we are not in a position to lift our current block on real money gaming for US residents until further notice," an e-mail from PKR informed me.
Sadly, with no chance to multiply my winnings, I am now forced to withdraw my pittance from PKR's coffers. I will be receiving a check for $0.60 in the mail in the coming weeks. The only problem is I have no idea what to do with it.
So, I'm leaving it up to loyal Casino City readers. Please send suggestions on what I should do with my $0.60 to email@example.com. Next week, I'll post some of the best suggestions, and yes, I'll actually follow the advice given by one of you.

Post-Polio Syndrome
Post-polio syndrome (PPS) is a condition that affects polio survivors. About 20%-40% of people who recover from polio will later develop PPS. The onset may occur 10-40 years after the initial polio attack.
The exact cause is unknown. It is not due to the original polio virus itself. Instead, the syndrome is due to nerve and muscle damage that may have been caused by the original infection.
Risk Factors
Factors that may increase your chance of developing PPS include:
- Previous polio attack
- Severe original polio attack
- Later age at onset of infection
Symptoms may include:
- Slowly progressive muscle weakness
- Muscular atrophy
- Muscle spasms
- Muscle pain
- Difficulty swallowing or breathing
- Intolerance to heat or cold
If the symptoms during the first attack of polio were severe, the symptoms of PPS may also be severe.
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A neuromuscular exam may also be done. PPS may be hard to diagnose because symptoms come and go. The symptoms may also overlap with other diseases.
Testing often involves electromyography. This measures how well your nerves and muscles are communicating.
Images may be taken of your bodily structures. This can be done with an MRI scan.
Your bodily fluids may be tested. This can be done with:
- Muscle biopsy
- Lumbar puncture
Treatment focuses on managing symptoms. The goals are to:
- Prevent overuse of weak muscles
- Prevent disuse, atrophy, and weakness
- Protect joints from weak muscles
- Maximize function
- Minimize discomfort
Treatment may include:
- Physical therapy
- Occupational therapy
- Speech therapy
- Assistive devices
- Weight loss, if overweight
- Medication to relieve muscle spasms and pain
- Occasionally, surgery to correct deformities that interfere with function
- Immunoglobulin—currently being studied to treat PPS
There are no guidelines for preventing PPS. But polio survivors who keep physically fit may have a reduced risk of PPS.

I love these signs. Kudos to this shopkeeper, who, opening an 'open 9 till late' store elected to call it '10 till 10'. Why be hidebound by convention, clarity or sanity? Good move.

Butch Trucks
Claude "Butch" Trucks | |
Background information | |
Birth name | Claude Hudson Trucks |
Also known as | Butch Trucks |
Born | Jacksonville, Florida, United States |
May 11, 1947
Genres | Rock, Southern rock |
Occupation(s) | Musician |
Instruments | Drums |
Years active | 1964–present |
Labels | Flying Frog |
Associated acts | The Allman Brothers Band, The 31st of February |
Claude Hudson "Butch" Trucks (born May 11, 1947) is an American drummer who is one of the founding members of The Allman Brothers Band.
One of Trucks' first bands was local Jacksonville band The Vikings, who made one 7-inch record in 1964. Another early band was The 31st of February which formed and broke up in 1968. This group's lineup eventually included both Duane Allman and Gregg Allman. They recorded a cover of "Morning Dew", by 1960s folk singer Bonnie Dobson.
Trucks then helped form The Allman Brothers Band in 1969, along with Duane Allman (guitar), Gregg Allman (vocals and organ), Dickey Betts (guitar), Berry Oakley (bass), and fellow drummer Jai Johanny Johanson.
Together, the two drummers developed a rhythmic drive that would prove crucial to the band. Trucks laid down a powerful conventional beat while the jazz-influenced Johanson added a second laminate of percussion and ad libitum cymbal flourishes, seamlessly melded into one syncopated sound.
Said founding member and co-lead guitarist Dickey Betts of Trucks' addition to the original band lineup, "...When Butch came along, he had that freight train, meat-and-potatoes kind of thing that set Jaimoe up perfectly. He had the power thing we needed."[1]
Trucks continues to record and perform with the Allman Brothers Band today.
Along with band members Gregg Allman, Jai Johanny "Jaimoe" Johanson, and Dickey Betts, Butch Trucks is named as plaintiff in a lawsuit against UMG Recordings. The suit, initiated in 2008, seeks $10 million over royalties from CD sales and digital downloads services such as Apple's iTunes. Trucks sees the license given to users for downloads as legally unsound.[2] Butch actually embraces Internet technology for the group and planned to use Moogis.com (Moogis is now defunct) to make the Web a real venue for the Allman Brothers and other jam bands.[2][3]
Trucks has had a long interest in philosophy and literature; in 2005 he published a letter in the New York Times Book Review criticizing a review of a decades-old article about the band in which the members were made to look like uneducated characters from a William Faulkner novel.[4]
His nephew, guitarist Derek Trucks, is the frontman and bandleader of The Derek Trucks Band and joined the Allman Brothers Band in 1999. His oldest son, guitarist Vaylor Trucks, is part of a trio called The Yeti Trio based in Atlanta. He is also the nephew of MLB pitcher Virgil Trucks.

Our Executives
The View from the Top:
SI&A'S CEO and COO Take A Breath To Talk About the Company and Its Passion
Susan Cook, SI&A's chief operating officer, is saying that when children learn the importance of good attendance in kindergarten, "It introduces them to an important concept: that showing up—for school, work and life itself—makes a difference. Studies have shown us that chronic absenteeism, even as early as kindergarten through third grade, is an accurate predictor that those kids will someday be school dropouts."
"That's why we created Attention2Attendance®," says Jeff Williams, the company's founder, president and chief executive officer. "It's a foolproof tool for early and definitive intervention."
Cook and Williams are sitting at a conference table in Cook's office. While the two spend most of their workdays in offices located at opposite corners of SI&A's expansive El Dorado Hills headquarters, each walks unannounced into the other's office for frequent brainstorming sessions, updates, wisecracks and, as Williams says with a smile, "reality checks. This is a fast-moving company. We truly feel that nothing less than the future of education is at stake."
This afternoon, the two are talking about recent enhancements to Attention2Attendance® (A2ASM), the company's signature software-and-service product.
"We're pretty proud of A2A's SaveRateSM," Williams says. "We've developed an approach that shows some amazingly positive outcomes. A2ASM gets kids off the path of chronic absenteeism."
"We tested and re-tested the product long enough, and at our own expense, to gather the kind of numbers—by age, geography and ethnicity—that proves its value," says Cook. "Nearly a million kids, as well as their parents and their principals, have been supported by A2ASM. And we're only just beginning."
Both Williams and Cook are quick to point out A2ASM and the company's other product-and-service products and partnerships are the link between studies and action. "We analyze the latest research," Williams says. "We don't conduct the studies. Our goal is to take the information, apply our principles and get results for our clients."
Cook says that her job with SI&A coincides with her professional background as a results-driven operations person and organizational consultant. "I'm basically a line manager," she says. "That's someone whose role in a company is to improve its performance, year over year. When you think about it, it's very similar to being a school principal, whose job is to improve the success rate and learning climate of his or her school every year."
Williams says what he most enjoys about his company's employees are "their absolute dedication to customizing solutions. They see themselves as a school district's partners—and they know that our products and approach to service will never be characterized as one-size-fits-all."
SI&A's other promising products include Partnering4StudentSuccessSM, a software solution currently to help teachers become more effective, bringing new thinking to the complex challenges of Common Core and student diversity.
"We never presume to know more about a school, students or community than its education professionals do," adds Cook. "What we do know is that in A2ASM, we have a product that works 100 percent of the time—one we'd like to get into every school in the United States."
"We'd be very proud to be this country's back office of education," Williams says. Then he jumps out of his chair and leaves Cook's office, heading across the building to his own office to handle his own portion of SI&A's creative, nonstop activity.

If you were a parent, what is the first language you will teach you child.
Which language do u think is more important for them to learn first?
For me first it would be English and then the cultural language.
The national language - Hindhi
The regional language - Depending on the state
The culture - Depending on what culture you are from
The global language - English
This is what happen with me.
I was born in USA. The first language I leard was English, and then I moved back to India and becase I am Sindhi I learn Sindhi, then because my family resided in Madras I learnd Tamil, and because I went to school there I leard Hindhi.
Then when I moved back to the US, I had to learn Spanish.
Your thoughts please!

I was born in the US but my parents also equally stress our cultural language and English. My mom speaks Hindi fluently so she makes it a point to speak only in Hindi with me and won't let me speak anything else but Hindi and Gujarati with her (of course I slip up once in a while). My dad speaks Hindi and Gujarati, and though sometimes I find myself talking to him in English, most of the time I'll speak in Hindi or Gujarati just for myself because I know I'm exposed to English every where else but my home is the main connection I have with India. Thanks to my parents, I completely understand and speak Hindi & Gujarati (only mess up a few words here and there), and can even write in Hindi!
So, with my kids.... just like many of the others above, I would also equally emphasize English and Hindi & Gujarati (since I'm fluent in both). If I were to raise my kids in US like my parents did, I know that English can be found outside the home but inside the home is where a child primarily learns about his/her culture and ethnicity. I guess basically, speaking on linguistic terms, I would raise my kids like my parents raised me.

Hi people,
Is there a way for me to query the db to see if a table is a view..?
Hi people,
Is there a way for me to query the db to see if a table is a view..?
have a look at the INFORMATION_SCHEMA
A table can never be a view (because it's a table)Originally Posted by SpiritedAway
(Sorry, could not resist)
But if you want to know if a name refers to a table or a view then follow r937's advice.
Tx for your time chaps - looking into it now...
1st time working with views so good to know the proper way of referring to them
To get list of tables and view you can use select from information_schema.tables -
This system table contans all tables and all views; this table has 'TABLE_TYPE' field, you could use it to define type of object -Code:SELECT * FROM information_schema.tables;
For example -
And there is information_schema.views system table, it contains all views.Code:SELECT * FROM information_schema.tables WHERE 'TABLE_TYPE' = 'BASE TABLE'; -- Gets all tables SELECT * FROM information_schema.tables WHERE 'TABLE_TYPE' = 'VIEW'; -- Gets all views, without information_schema system views
Last edited by r937; January 20th, 2010 at 07:19 AM.
select table_name from information_schema.views;
For myself, I always prefix views with 'v_'. I never prefix tables (with, for instance, 'tbl_' or 't_') on the assumption that everything is a table unless otherwise stated.
that will not helpOriginally Posted by shabarinath
did you even read this (dormant) thread before making that reply?

I'm SO Ugly In Pictures?
I'm not photogenic AT ALL. I still take pictures of course but I am VERY unattractive in pictures. I like the image in the mirror better lol Anyone... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
I highly doubt you are ugly, or un-photogenic. You may just be your own worst enemy. Depends on how I feel. Pictures really capture my mood. For instance, hen I am overworked and tired, I will look crap in pictures. When a good photographer is taking pictures of me I can look cute. :) Any tips: Bright lights make flaws go away. So make sure you are somewhere lit well when taking a picture. You're GORGEOUS! If you want to convince others you have to convince yourself first. YAY for good yearbook pictures! XD
Definitely un-photogenic haha, possibly unattractive too, but hey, as I've said, I try to keep positive to some extent
Well, I hate when you say, "Definitely un-photogenic haha, possibly unattractive too" just so you know, it kind of gets under my skin. I think you should feel beautiful, know it, and flaunt it. =) But I am glad you stay optimistic. =D
Thanks for BA. =)
Have an opinion?
What Guys Said 15
Pics nao? :-D
- Show Older Hide Older
You lost it a while back broski :) Nothing personal at all haha, don't think it's youBUT if I change my mind, I'll hit you up.
Boo. Where's Santa when you need him? LOL
What Girls Said 16
Same :( irl I have pretty decent skin and my cheeks and lips are a little more colored than the photos show...I think invisible finishing powder really makes my skin look more like it does irl >< Eyeliner and mascara also make me look SO much better in photos. Also, my hair and eye color match way too well... so my pictures are also pretty plain :PI really don't know, I'm pretty average so I'm not surprised I don't look that great in photos.
i wish I was the oppositei look better in pictures then in real life I believe lol , well you kind of have to know which angle is your best like for example mine is my left side , I feel like if I turn my face to the right and take a pic, my face looks too wide ohhh and I remember watching antm and tyra says "smile with your eyes" like I guess it looks fiercer ? lol
i might sound fake xD but I take like 100 photos trying to get a good one for my profile picture, I prefer looking in the mirror as well. And my school id... lets just say my friend made me laugh...sooooo that's noooot the best photo and it goes into yearbook. LOL greeeat ahahah
Nooooo hun, I can totally relate with the whole having to take so many pics to find that "perfect" one for a profile pic. I totally know where you're coming from. I'm like that, which is why I normally don't make pics taken by others profile pics cause they usually aren't flatteringHaha, lucky for us the photo id's aren't the yearbook pic, although I wouldn't mind if it was.
yes I know what you mean! oh you are so lucky, I look so bad in the photo xD everyone laughs at it already ahahaha
I'm not photogenic either, if I take my pics by myself I'll look good, I'll like it,but when someone take it I just hate it, I look horrible, before taking the pics, try looking at yourself in the m mirror and do poses, or smile and then when you do take them you'll know how you possibly look in them..
I'm not too photogenic either. Every now and then I'll get lucky enough to get a decent picture, but I never look quite as good as I do in person. And I usually come out horrible in pictures lol. The only advice I have is try to figure out what kind of lighting is good for you and also figure out the right amount of smile to give. I've noticed that depending on how I smile in a picture makes a big difference in how chubby my face looks lol
You can do a little experiment with your camera. Take pictures form different angles and lighting. Then, compare them all. Usually one side of the face looks better than the other.. For me anyways. I'm not at all photogenic. I have to take 100 pictures to get a few good ones. I look the same, or I would like to believe I do.. Never too sure. Ha

UnNews:14 Tesco stores forced to close in bomb scare
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
This article is part of UnNews | Every time you think, you weaken the nation —Moe Howard |
15 July 2007
UnNews Audio (file info) | |
Listen to this story! |
PETERBOROUGH HIGH STREET, Stamrian People's Republic, Sunday (UNN) -- Tesco, Britain's biggest supermarket chain, closed 14 stores yesterday owing to bomb threats and possible military assaults from competitors.
Police said terrorists or extremists were not behind the scares, with the Department of Trade and Industry describing the actions as "healthy and vigorous competition in a free market."
No one was hurt in the incidents, with stores suffering only minor property damage and the number of mangled, burnt-out trolleys and carpark potholes being entirely normal for the areas the stores were in. The Mercian Liberation Front specifically denied responsibility for the actions in West Mercia and further denied taking backhanders from Wal*Mart to divert traffic to ASDA stores instead.
UK police have been on heightened alert since the Home Office raised its terrorist threat assessment to the highest level on June 30 after the attempted car bomb attack on the EasyJet check-in desk at Glasgow Airport. The threat level is now at "a cup of tea, please, luv," the second-highest (the highest being "GIN. NOW."), indicating that attacks from drunken NHS doctors or perhaps the paramilitary wing of the Royal Institute of British Architects driving into a more hideous than usual concrete eyesore were "highly likely."
Martin Jacklin, a customer at the Mick Hucknall store in Nottinghamshire, told the BBC that the evacuation "was done smoothly enough. No one knew what was happening. They wouldn't take my fucking Nectar card though, apparently they have their own. Shower of cocks."
Tesco controls almost one-third of Britain's grocery market, according to Jane's Defence Weekly. Its 1,900 UK bases collected about 17 percent of the money spent by the nation's consumers in 2006. 22% of its spending goes on its defence budget. It has come in for much criticism since its invasion of East Lothian in 2003, in pursuit of later-disproven claims that the now-defunct Safeways chain had weapons of mass production.

Gordon takes pole at Charlotte
Jeff Gordon is feeling rejuvenated as the NASCAR Sprint Cup season winds down.
Gordon carried over a strong performance in Kansas last weekend to Thursday night by winning the pole for the race Saturday night at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
Gordon, who is fourth in the Chase standings, said it's been a frustrating season but that he's feeling better with each passing race.
''I feel like we knocked it out of the park tonight,'' Gordon said.
Gordon turned a lap at 194.308 mph to edge Kevin Harvick for his ninth pole at Charlotte, tied for the second most in track history.
Greg Biffle qualified third for the Saturday night race, Jimmie Johnson was fourth, and Kasey Kahne - who held the pole for most of the night - will start fifth on Saturday night.
Dale Earnhardt Jr. celebrated his 39th birthday by qualifying sixth for his 500th Sprint Cup start. Ryan Newman was seventh, followed by Juan Pablo Montoya, Kyle Busch and Kurt Busch.
Gordon was upbeat after the qualifying, saying things are finally starting to mesh for the No. 24 Chevrolet team.
''The thing is it's really hard to maintain your confidence in what you're doing when you're struggling,'' Gordon said. ''I felt like all year long we have been racing better than we have been qualifying, but that qualifying was a weakness for us and we needed to get better track position. It's hard not to get down when things aren't going well. ... It's hard to come in here all bubbly and having fun, because honestly it wasn't fun.''
The 42-year-old Gordon hasn't won a race on the Sprint Cup series this year, but believes he's going to need to win one to have a legitimate shot at winning is fifth Cup championship.
Gordon enters the weekend 32 points behind leader Matt Kenseth with six races left. Kenseth qualified 20th.
''This will be one of our worst qualifying efforts of the year so we have a lot of work to do,'' Kenseth said.
Kahne was hoping Thursday night would give his team momentum after what has been a disappointing showing so far in the Chase. He enters the weekend in 13th place, 83 points behind Kenseth.
For a while it looked like his early lap would hold up.
But then a series of drivers eclipsed his time, capped finally by Gordon, who had the last car on the track.
''There were a lot of good cars at the end of the session and that kept leading up to things getting faster and faster,'' Harvick said.
Gordon called it ''the most exciting qualifying pole ever.''
Harvick said he would have been happy starting on the outside row had he not won from the pole last week at Kansas.
''Obviously we wanted to be greedy and get that again tonight,'' Harvick said. ''But it's been nice to see the speed. It seems like everybody is able to find a little more and dig deeper when it is Chase time.''
Kyle Larson, making his Sprint Cup debut in Phoenix Racing's No. 51 Chevrolet, qualified 21st.
Johnson, who has had incredible success at Charlotte, is hoping for a good finish to jump ahead of Kenseth. Johnson enters the weekend three points behind Kenseth.
''We've had some really strong runs here over the years,'' Johnson said.
Travis Kvapil qualified 41st one day after being released from police custody on $2,000 bond. He was arrested Tuesday and charged with misdemeanor assault on a female and false imprisonment.
''I'm obviously embarrassed about the situation,'' Kvapil said. ''I don't like the negative effects that it has brought on. So I apologize to NASCAR, my team, supporters of my team, my fans and anyone else that was impacted by Tuesday night.''

Have you ever even played a Bethesda game? I rarely have any issues. You're implying that these are common by saying "a Bethesda game."
You persuade people to get information on things unrelated to their shops, by the way.
But nice animation.

In January, President Barack Obama announced the United States was "open for business," and he challenged legislators to create a national strategy to promote domestic and international travel opportunities throughout the country.
In response, Commerce Secretary John Bryson and Interior Secretary Ken Salazar recently announced the administration's National Tourism and Travel Strategy, which will focus on five keys areas of growth with a goal to bring in at least 100 million visitors annually by 2021.
"I am proud of our work on the National Strategy, a product of a strong private-public partnership, which will make the U.S. even more welcoming to visitors and reinforce our message to the world: the United States is open for business," said Bryson.
One of the goals included in the strategy is increasing American jobs in the tourism industry, which would be an effort to bring in international travelers who would spend an estimated $250 billion in the United States each year.
"These recommendations will help make the United States a more attractive travel destination for people around the globe, and I look forward to working with our partners across government and industry to turn this strategy into action," said Salazar.
The strategy is also an effort to stimulate the American economy. In 2011, the travel and tourism industry generated $1.2 trillion from domestic and international travel, showcasing the effects the travel and tourism industry has within the national economy. "Tens of millions of tourists from all over the world come and visit America every year," said Obama. "At a time when too many Americans are still looking for work, we need to make it easier for more people to visit this country and keep our economy growing."
Visitors to the United States have a number of living options that offer a wide range of products and services. However, an option that deserves more consideration is short term rental apartments, which offer a number of unique accommodations such as in-unit washers and dryers, a full kitchen and a workout room. These option can show international travelers a great experience while in the United States.
The Global Business Travel Association recently announced its support of the National Tourism and Travel Strategy because it believes business travel is one of the main components that drives the U.S. economy.
Michael W. McCormick, executive director and chief operating officer of GBTA, said the organization will work in accordance with these plans by making visa process improvements and expanding the visa waiver program.
"Recent moves by the Obama administration have demonstrated the President's commitment to increasing travel," said McCormick. "The expansion of the Transportation Security Administration's Pre-Check Program, the decision to make Global Entry permanent and the calls to speed up the implementation of NextGen are all signs of how important travel is to the economy."
Seeing the importance of tourism to the economy, travelers and road warriors managers all over the world need to make an effort to fit in travel when possible. Not only does it stimulate the economy, it also creates jobs for Americans, which is one of the best ways to help the country get out from under the current economic problems.
