California ruling on teacher tenure fuels NH debate
"From the beginning, this lawsuit has highlighted the wrong problems, proposed the wrong solutions and followed the wrong process," said Scott McGilvray, president of the New Hampshire chapter of the National Education Association, the state's largest teachers union. "This lawsuit was not about helping students, but yet another attempt by millionaires and corporate special interests to undermine the teaching profession and push their agenda on California public schools and students."
"This is a closely watched case nationally," said Todd DeMitchell, professor of education and justice studies at the University of New Hampshire. "Unions were not explicitly targeted in this case. Instead, the statutes and the implementation of the statutes by school administrators, especially the dismissal statutes, was the focus. A lawsuit based on the quality of education provided is new."
"I think this is another example of a misconception people have with the term 'tenure,'" said Ben Dick, president of the Manchester Education Association. "People hear that word and think it means you can never get rid of someone who isn't doing their job. That's not what we have in Manchester or in New Hampshire. The fact is there is no such thing as teacher tenure in any New Hampshire public school, and no teacher, regardless of the length of time they have been teaching, has a guaranteed job for life. We have 'continuing contract status.'"
For decades, New Hampshire teachers reached "tenure" - or continuing contract status - after completing either three years of teaching in the same district or two consecutive years of teaching in the same school district and three or more consecutive years in another school district in New Hampshire.
The criteria to achieve continuing contract status increased to five consecutive years in the current school district, or three consecutive years in the current school district and five or more consecutive years in another New Hampshire school district.
"The ability to have their case reviewed by an objective panel ensures that school boards or administrators don't fire good teachers they may disagree with or who speak out on issues like student safety or appropriate use of district funds."
"Not yet, anyway, but you don't know what effect a decision like this might have," said Hainey. "Someone might decide it's the right time to try."
"Will New Hampshire legislators rush to embrace the perception that Judge Treu has provided the roadmap to get rid of the incompetent, and in the process reduce if not break the teacher unions?" asked DeMitchell.

While any packaged product can contain gluten, the majority of juices should be gluten free. Choose 100% juices, as they have more to offer from a nutrition perspective. However, as with all food products, it's important to thoroughly read ingredient statements to confirm gluten free status. When in doubt, call the manufacturer to confirm their manufacturing practices.
A Answers (5)
Amy Jones, Nutrition & Dietetics, answeredMost (if not all) juices are gluten-free. Enjoy 100% fruit juice for best nutritional value.
Audrey Quick , NASM Elite Trainer, Fitness, answeredYes, the Juice Plus products are gluten-free.
Fresh juice is gluten free. Both fruit juice and vegetable juice are gluten free. However it's possible that canned, frozen or dehydrated juices could have additives that contain gluten, read labels carefully.
Most juices, especially those listed as 100% juice, are gluten free but it is always best to read the label as many companies are now listing their products as gluten free, if they are. Other than that, you can always contact the manufacturer or visit their website to determine if any product you are using contains gluten.

view more less of this reviewVery well-written play with lots of dramatic tension and touching scenes. The acting was superb; energetic, lively actors developed fully realized characters. My only quibble was that the probably wooden articulated snakes did not look realistic-other than that, this fully earns my five stars.

What gig? And access to what? lol. If you're talking about the SSAC, it's a conference and I just bought a ticket lol. Anyone can. It is mad expensive though, luckily my school is funding it (since I'm in grad school). Admittedly, I probably wouldn't have met Hollinger (and others) if I wasn't working for an advanced (not really advanced) stats site. PM me if you're curious since I prolly can't explain in a VM (too long).
Oh I definitely don't use it for PSD lol. Well I mean I'm following some fellow PSDers on there but yeah, I think the PSD general intelligence is like 100x lower than the people I talk to on twitter lol. It went really well. I enjoyed it. It's like a place for all the analytics geeks to talk but with guys like the commish there (Adam Silver panel was popular). I did get to meet all the internet celebrities you've never heard of, as opposed to the actual celebrities that were there lol (Hollinger for example, ok you may have heard of him). Made some connections with people who work in the NBA (Analytics department). Also, there were some interesting panels- like the Silver one, the one with Stan Van Gundy was great- just to get to hear him talk. Overall great experience.
What's your twitter yo? lol, I've been using it more recently. Well a lot more. And I've found there's some better basketball conversation then in the NBA forums here (not hard to imagine). It's also a good way to network apparently, or so I've learned.

"Breathtaking Views in complete luxury!"
For over 20 years I have had the honour and privilege of being a friend as well as guest of Nigel and Lila Harvey. Bonavanti is truly the most beautiful place on earth. The elegance and energy create an almost intoxicating sense of comfort and wellbeing. I've stayed several times at Bonavanti and assure you, you will not be disappointed. Each room has such a wonderful relaxing luxurious feel to it. The breathtaking views are second to none, and the surroundings are truly heaven on earth. Bonavanti is a beach house personified luxury, one of my favourite places in the world. I offer my humble yet highest recommendation!

Access to the cached administrators 'sa' session is possible. PLATFORM: Microsoft SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 7.0 NOTE: The server is only vulnerable if it is configured to use 'mixed mode'. Microsoft recommends against using this mode. DAMAGE: Any user reactivating the cached 'sa' session would gain full system privileges. This would give the user the capability of running code of their choice and have full control of the server. SOLUTION: Apply the patch provided by Microsoft. ______________________________________________________________________________ VULNERABILITY The risk is LOW, as there are several mitigating factors, ASSESSMENT: including one of timing the access to the system. ______________________________________________________________________________ [****** Begin Microsoft Bulletin ******] - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Title: SQL Query Method Enables Cached Administrator Connection to be Reused Date: 12 June 2001 Software: Microsoft SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 7.0 Impact: Privilege elevation Bulletin: MS01-032 Microsoft encourages customers to review the Security Bulletin at: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS01-032.asp. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Issue: ====== When a client connection to a SQL Server is terminated, it remains cached for a short period of time for performance reasons. One SQL query method contains a flaw that has the effect of making it possible for one user's query to reuse a cached connection that belonged to the sa account. Exploiting this vulnerability would enable an attacker to execute the query using the administrator's security context. This would give her the ability to take any desired action on the database; moreover, it would give her the ability to run extended stored procedures, thereby giving her the opportunity to run code of her choice and assume de facto control of the server itself. Mitigating Factors: ==================== - The vulnerability only affects servers configured to use Mixed mode. Microsoft strongly recommends against using Mixed Mode, and recommends using Windows Authentication mode instead. Customers who have configured their servers to use Windows Authentication mode are not affected by this vulnerability. - Terminated connections are only cached for a short period. The attacker would need to time her attack in order to occur during the period when an administrator's connection was in the cache. - The query method at issue here can only be executed by an authenticated user. Not only would this limit the number of users who could exploit the vulnerability, it also would allow the action to be audited. Patch Availability: =================== - A patch is available to fix this vulnerability. Please read the Security Bulletin http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms01-032.asp for information on obtaining this patch. - --------------------------------------------------------------------- THE INFORMATION PROVIDED IN THE MICROSOFT KNOWLEDGE BASE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND.

Faces & Voices 5 An Anthology of Verse and Prose by the Composition for Honours Class, Howard University, 2000-2001.
Professor E. R. BRAITHWAITE
Faces & Voices 4 Art@Howard
The Choice By Keisha Charles She held her stomach, wondering about what was inside. Was it simply a mass of cells, or was it a human being? The age old question with no right answer. She never thought in a million years that she would ever have to make this decision. Especially not at this stage in her life. She had already been through four pregnancies, and had raised three beautiful children. It had not been easy. She had devoted most of her time caring for them, working three jobs just to be able to provide for them, and just when she began living for herself again, she was faced with the prospect of having to do it all over again. It was not that she did not love her children. They meant the world to her, and she really did not mind giving up her life for them. It was just that this time was hers, to see what else the world had to offer, and to live her life to the fullest. Besides, she was too old to be having another child. In addition to the possible complications that accompanied having a child at such a late stage, she could not care for this child. Not the same way she had cared for her other children. She was too old to go through the regular feedings, the soccer games, the parent-teacher conferences, and the constant need for attention. She wondered if she was being selfish. After all, getting pregnant was not the worst thing in the world. In fact, giving birth was the most amazing experience of her life. If this had happened a few years earlier, she would not have given it a second thought, but the timing now was all wrong. She wondered if she should tell her husband about it. He would not understand. While he was busy with his job, the weight of raising all three children had fallen on her shoulders. Besides, it was her body and her choice. She really did not want to make the wrong decision, but she could not have this baby. This was the hardest decision she had ever made, and it was one she would have to live with for the rest of her life. She rubbed her stomach again. This time she thought about the joy she had felt the first time she held her daughter in her hands. She remembered how it had felt watching her take her first step, and the pride she had felt at her first recital. And then she came to the realization that she could not go through with it. She thought about what her life would be like without her children. Sure, she might have had more time to herself, but she would not have had the honor of raising the three most brilliant and most magnificent children in the world. What was inside her was not just a mass of cells. It was a miracle waiting to happen. She would love this child, and take care of this child, and this child would grow up to be somebody. But would she be able to handle it? Her thoughts were interrupted by the squeaking of the door. Was that the doctor? What was that in his hand? She had no idea it would look so big. She had to make a decision. It was now or never. Finally, she made a choice. © 2001 Keisha Charles

I am fat adapted, and it still sucks to have to eat long term in a deficit. Not only does it suck, but when it doesn't produce any visual changes, it's pretty much suffering for nothing.
Intuitive portion control does not exist for me. As a child (and a girl, at that), I ate the same sized meals my father did. I need volume to feel full. This doesn't mean I'm not capable of eating amounts that are appropriate to me; in fact I regularly serve myself less food than I'd want if calories were of no consequence. I end up feeling resentful and still hungry.

Bushberries: Blackberry, Blueberry, Cranberry, Raspberry:
Recommendations for Maintaining Postharvest Quality
Produce Facts in English > Bushberries
Elizabeth J. Mitcham, Carlos H. Crisosto and Adel A. Kader
Department of Plant Sciences, University of California, Davis
Maturity Indices
Generally based on berry surface color. Soluble solids and titratable acidity may also be considered. All berries should be harvested near ripe as eating quality does not improve after harvest.
Quality Indices
- Appearance (color, size, shape, freedom from defects)
- Firmness
- Flavor (soluble solids, titratable acidity and flavor volatiles)
- Nutritional value (Vitamins A & C)
Optimum Temperature
0±0.5°C (32±1°F) for blackberry and raspberry (2-5 days); and blueberry (1-2 weeks) 3±1°C (37±2°F) for cranberry (2-4 months).
Optimum Relative Humidity
Rates of Respiration Production
Temperature | ml CO2/kg·hr | ||||
oC | oF | Blackberry | Blueberry | Cranberry | Raspberry |
0 | 32 | 11 | 3 | 2 | 12 |
10 | 50 | 31 | 9 | 4 | 49 |
20 | 68 | 78 | 34 | 9 | 100 |
To calculate heat production multiply ml CO2/kg·hr by 440 to get Btu/ton/day or by 122 to get kcal/metric ton/day.
Rates of Ethylene Production
0.1-1.0 µl/kg·hr at 5°C (41°F)
Responses to Ethylene
Blackberries and raspberries do not respond to ethylene by stimulation of ripening processes. Blueberries are climacteric fruit and respond to ethylene; but should be harvested near to full ripe as flavor does not improve after harvest. Removal of ethylene from storage air may reduce disease development.
Responses to Controlled Atmospheres (CA)
Modified atmosphere packaging for shipment with 15 to 20% carbon dioxide and 5 to 10% oxygen reduces the growth of Botrytis cinerea (Grey Mold Rot) and other decay causing organisms, and reduces the respiration and softening rates of blueberries, raspberries and blackberries thereby extending postharvest life. Whole pallet covers and consumer packages for containment of the modified atmosphere are commonly used. Prompt cooling should be done before atmosphere modification.
Physiological and Physical Disorders
Shriveling/Water Loss. Berries are quite susceptible to water loss which results in fruit shriveling and loss of gloss. Maintenance of 90 to 95% relative humidity around the fruit and storage at optimum temperatures will minimize water loss.
Leakers. Refers to berries which begin to leak fluid to the exterior; thought to be due to physiological breakdown.
CA-Related Disorders. Exposure of berries to <2% oxygen and/or >25% carbon dioxide can cause off-flavors and brown discoloration, depending on cultivar, duration of exposure, and temperature.
Chilling Injury of Cranberries. Occurs when fruit are exposed to the temperature of <3°C (37°F). Symptoms include dull appearance, rubbery texture, and increased susceptibility to decay.
Pathological Disorders
Diseases are the greatest cause of postharvest losses in berries. The best methods for disease control are:
- Prompt cooling
- Storage at the lowest safe temperature
- Preventing physical injury to the fruit
- Shipment under high carbon dioxide
In addition, care should be taken to keep diseased or wounded berries out of packages as rot can spread from diseased to nearby healthy berries (nesting).
Botrytis Rot (Grey Mold). Caused by Botrytis cinerea is a common pathogen on berry fruit. This fungus continues to grow even at 0°C (32°F), however growth is very slow at this temperature.
Rhizopus Rot. Caused by the fungus Rhizopus stolonifer. Spores of this fungus are usually present in the air and are easily spread. This fungus will not grow at temperatures below 5°C (41°F), therefore temperature management is the simplest method of control.
Special Considerations
Cranberry. There is more fungal decay and physiological breakdown in water- harvested than hand-harvested cranberries, especially if cranberries are kept in the water more than 12 to 24 hours.

Hughton bemoans penalty snub
Chris Hughton bemoaned Newcastle's failure to win a penalty as Gary Johnson admitted Bristol City rode their luck after a goalless draw at St James' Park.
Newcastle felt they were denied an "absolute certain" penalty in the stalemate after Marlon Harewood appeared to be felled in the box by substitute Jamie McCombe.
Referee Graham Salisbury waved away Newcastle's appeals much to the astonishment of the home side Hughton.
"For me, it was an absolute certain penalty. There are some
penalties where you are not sure whether the referee is going to give it or not," fumed Hughton.
"I could have almost looked away because my first impression was just waiting for the referee to point to the spot."
FrustratingHughton added: "It was very frustrating, but I couldn't fault the manner, in particular in the second half, of our approach to go and win the game against a good Bristol City side who came with a formation which certainly frustrated us.
"But we had opportunities and if we had taken one of those opportunities, I could have seen us going on and getting further goals."
Bristol City boss Johnson admitted his side had perhaps had a lucky escape over the penalty appeal.
"I must admit, my heart was in my mouth at the time," admitted Johnson.
"The lads felt there was a bit of contact but from our point of view, maybe he was starting to go down early, we don't know.
"But he [Salisbury] was very brave with forty-odd thousand people screaming for a penalty, anyway."
PraiseJohnson was delighted with his players, and particularly Gerken, who only discovered he was playing five minutes before kick-off after Adriano Basso picked up a groin injury during the warm-up.
"We made that decision at 2.55pm. I was going to give my super motivational speech and I need them all smiling when I give that and Basso, was grimacing a little bit and doing a stretch on his groin," added Johnson.
"I knew today we needed people to be 100% mentally and physically, and he didn't look either at the time.
"We were able to bring Dean Gerken in and on the day, I would have thought he was a candidate for man of the match."

Fiancee of Dracula: While looking for the earthly remains of Count Dracula, a professor and his young assistant are plunged into a parallel universe and decay. Two Orphan Vampires: This is the story of two innocent orphan vampires. They appear to be helpless, blind orphans during the daylight hours, but at night they roam Europe in a spree of blood and death.
This shocking, true story follows the exploits of an unknown, unemployed vanquisher of evil from his home in Dikay, through an ill-fated gig in Hollywood, to his surprising ascent to super-stardom in Japan and his equally baffling disappearance.
Operating under the code name "Gunja," a female Special Ops agent with the Royal Thai Police is recruited to join Claire, an American CIA agent sent to track Al-Qaeda.
