Merril Bainbridge (born 2 June 1968 in Melbourne, Victoria) is an Australian pop music singer and songwriter. Her debut was in 1994 with the single, "Mouth", which peaked at number-one for six consecutive weeks in Australia and became a top five hit in the United States.
Bainbridge started performing when she was at the age of nine and her first performance was at a carnival and her sisters persuaded her into entering, because the prize was free carnival tickets. She came third and won twenty dollars worth of tickets. After six years of performing in a variety of bands in Australia, and doing backup vocal work in exchange for studio time, Bainbridge began a solo career under the tutelage of producer Siew. Bainbridge stated that she and Siew "really connected well, from a creative point. I liked the way he worked and I knew I had so much more to learn in that environment and that's how it started. That was the point where I started feeling a lot more confident as a singer and then wanting to dive more into the songwriting side." She also worked a day job before quitting to concentrate solely on music.

Announcement: 2015-16 Budget Planning Work SessionWith The Board On April 27 From 5:30-6:30pm | ||||
Important message to blaine primary school families | ||||
Health Alert: We have a confirmed contracted case of E. coli at the Blaine Primary School. The Blaine School District is working with the Whatcom County Health Department on the situation. E.coli symptoms include feeling tired or sick, diarrhea, stomach cramps and occasional bloody diarrhea. If your child has these symptoms please keep them home and call your health care provider. Hand washing stops the spread of the E. coli virus. For more information, please refer to the Whatcom County Health Department's website. |
Volunteer Receives Community Leadership Award | ||||
New State Assessments Underway | ||||
This spring students in Blaine School District will be participating in the new Smarter Balanced state assessments. These assessments are designed to measure student performance relative to the new Washington State Standards (also known as Common Core State Standards) in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics. The goal of these standards is that our students will be college and career ready by the time they graduate from high school. In Blaine School District, we emphasize effort, hard work and the importance of having a "Growth Mindset." When it comes to state testing, our students' mindset is very important. We want our students to work hard and persist through their testing, as we want them to persist and work hard in all their endeavors. At the same time, we want to help them understand that state tests are only one benchmark that helps paint a picture of how our students are performing. Other measures and evidence are just as important in assessing the development of our kids and our system. The transition to Smarter Balanced Assessments is happening across the state and much of the country. We recognize that it will likely take time for our schools and students to adjust to the new Smarter Balanced Assessments. Historically, when new standards are assessed, passing rates range from 20% – 50% in the first year statewide. For example, in 1997, the state's first year with the Washington Assessment of Student Learning (WASL), passing rates were only 21-48%. The first year of implementing a new test comes with challenges. We appreciate parents' flexibility and understanding as we learn the new tools and re-adjust our expectations. |
Blaine School Board Positions Open for Election | ||||
The Blaine School District's Board of Directors has positions in the following Director Districts open for election on November 3, 2015:
Director District 1 – includes Point Roberts and downtown Blaine Anyone interested in filing for the election must be a registered voter residing inside the boundaries of the Director District to be represented. District boundary maps can be linked from the "District Information" tab on this page. The Whatcom County Auditor's Office can also verify a voter's Director District (360-676-6742). |
Board positions in Director Districts 1, 2, and 4 are four-year terms expiring in 2019. The position in Director District 3 is the remaining two years of a term which expires in 2017. The filing period for these open positions is May 11-15, 2015. Prospective candidates may file online or in person. The current Directors will hold office until December 2015 and are also eligible to run for re-election. For complete instructions on filing, please visit the "Candidate Information" page linked from the Whatcom County Auditor's website. Information about service on your local School Board can be obtained from the following resources: The Washington State School Directors Association (WSSDA) website WSSDA's "Become a School Board Member Workshops" held at various locations, including Mount Vernon on April 15. An informational meeting will be held at the Blaine School District Office on April 22 from 3:00-4:00pm. Additional questions may be directed to the Superintendent's Administrative Assistant, Tina Padilla, at (360) 332-0711. |
Bond Initiative Work Underway | |||||||||||||||||||
On behalf of the Board of Directors, the staff, and especially the students, Blaine School District would once again like to take this opportunity to thank the voters of Birch Bay, Blaine and Point Roberts for their overwhelming support in the February 10 Bond Initiative election. Planning is well underway, with a project manager secured, advertisement for architectural services out and the first round of bonds slated for sale by the end of May. Our patrons are reminded that the bonds will be sold in three $15M increments, with each approximately one year apart. Full completion of all projects committed to with this measure is anticipated for the start of the 2019-20 school year. You can expect to see a more detailed summary of projected project timelines on this website soon. We are very excited about the range of opportunities that this measure will present for the learning needs of students at all levels of the program!
Blaine School Board Endorses Two Key Resolutions | |||||||||||||||||||
On January 24, the Blaine School District Board of Directors passed two resolutions, addressing expectations for the State Legislature, as well as Congress at the Federal level. The first resolution, which can be accessed for reference here, is in support of the position of the Washington Association of School Administrators, which sends a clear message to the State Legislature that full funding of Basic Education, as directed by the State Supreme Court, needs to be addressed prior to any new initiatives or mandates being put in place. The second resolution, which can be accessed for reference here, is in support of the Washington State School Directors Association in directing Congress at the Federal level to move forward with the reauthorization of ESEA/No Child Left Behind. As it now stands, ESEA/No Child Left Behind is viewed as limiting the work of local school districts in addressing the learning needs of all students. Nearly 200 School Boards from across the State of Washington have passed a similar resolution. |
Community Fliers Available Online | |||||||||||||||||||
Blaine School District works with community nonprofit organizations and government entities to provide information to families about not-for-profit services for students. These include sports programs, youth organizations, youth-oriented activities, etc. Informational fliers, which were previously distributed during classroom time, will now be available at the new Community E-Fliers web page. E-fliers give families ready access to a variety of local resources that have social, recreational or educational value for students. Hard copies of these fliers may also be available to pick up in school offices. The Community E-Fliers web page can be accessed using the link in the left column or by clicking here. |
Mid-Year Review of 2014-15 Comprehensive Plan | |||||||||||||||||||
Standards, Assessment and Evaluation Planning Continues | |||||||||||||||||||
Expectations remain high for 2014-15 to be a productive year for the students and staff of the Blaine School District. Specifically, we will continue to see three significant state directed initiatives take shape at the building and classroom levels. |

Sachdev, Shrikesh and Hoffmann, Alexander and Hannink, Mark (1998) Nuclear Localization of Ikappa Balpha Is Mediated by the Second Ankyrin Repeat: the Ikappa Balpha Ankyrin Repeats Define a Novel Class of cis-Acting Nuclear Import Sequences.

The ability of the Ikappa Balpha protein to sequester dimeric NF-kappa B/Rel proteins in the cytoplasm provides an effective mechanism for regulating the potent transcriptional activation properties of NF-kappa B/Rel family members. Ikappa Balpha can also act in the nucleus as a postinduction repressor of NF-kappa B/Rel proteins. The mechanism by which Ikappa Balpha enters the nucleus is not known, as Ikappa Balpha lacks a discernible classical nuclear localization sequence (NLS). We now report that nuclear localization of Ikappa Balpha is mediated by a novel nuclear import sequence within the second ankyrin repeat. Deletion of the second ankyrin repeat or alanine substitution of hydrophobic residues within the second ankyrin repeat disrupts nuclear localization of Ikappa Balpha . Furthermore, a region encompassing the second ankyrin repeat of Ikappa Balpha is able to function as a discrete nuclear import sequence. The presence of a discrete nuclear import sequence in Ikappa Balpha suggests that cytoplasmic sequestration of the NF-kappa B/Rel-Ikappa Balpha complex is a consequence of the mutual masking of the NLS within NF-kappa B/Rel proteins and the import sequence within Ikappa Balpha . Nuclear import may be a conserved property of ankyrin repeat domains (ARDs), as the ARDs from two other ARD-containing proteins, 53BP2 and GABPbeta , are also able to function as nuclear import sequences. We propose that the Ikappa Balpha ankyrin repeats define a novel class of cis-acting nuclear import sequences.

what effects soundstage depth
Putting aside the recording and room acoustics, What factors in a speaker design determine sound stage depth.
Will certain changes to specific aspects of a design make the sound stage more forward or recessed or is this just a result of everything working correctly together and reproducing whats recorded. I ask because I have a speaker that seems to suck the life out of vocals and the singer always seems to be recessed in space. The frequency response is flat when measured close up. That said, I don't really want to trouble shoot this particular speaker. I'm more interested in better understanding speaker imaging. Thanks David |

Have you measured the off axis response?
Im not an expert but the best sound stage/imaging etc points to having great off-axis response and low harmonic distortion, low linear distortion. |

By what I know I come to the conclusion:
Good off-axes for wide stereo image. Good impulse behaviour so everything is very detailed to hear with out any muddy sound. The placing is the result of the difference in loudness between left and right channel and phase. Then the reflections of the listen room play also their roll, by interfering the stereo image. Your speaker and listening room messes with the phase and impulse response and loudness of the original recording. Regards Helmuth

It helps to understand how people mic and mix for depth effects.
Basically as a sound gets closer to you the bass gradually increases (proximity effect) and there is less reverb. As a sound gets further away it has gradually less bass and more reverb. High end is effected as well but it's kind of tricky. But basically the same idea if there is a lot of high end it will sound close the more you roll it off it will give the illusion of depth. So if you have a properly setup stereo system (equilateral triangle) and you take a mono signal add some reverb and roll off the bass a bit it should push back in distance wel beyond the wall behind the speakers. If I was trying to make a playback system that would expose the depth in recordings it would probably have to de-master most CDs with some light filtering. Bring 5kHz down about 3dB with a wide band EQ and maybe bring the bass down a little. THis is just based on odds and the way I have found most CDs being mastered and mixed. It will be different if your system isn't somewhat flat. But as far as what needs to be there I think a wide dispersion/off axis reponse is very important. Probably second would be phase relationship in the speakers and crossovers. |

Thanks for the replies.
That bit about the recording was interesting. As I think about it I suspect something else is at play in the recessed voices. I need to make more thorough measurements. Could be related to the transmission lines I built. I'm going to try them in ported cabinets for comparison sake. D |

1st it has to be on the recording...
a number of things in no specific order... 1/ downward dynamic range. The speaker has to have the ability to reproduce -- even in the precense of a much streonger signal, all the subtle peices of information that carry imaging/soundstaging clues. Think 40 dB down. This means everthing must be quiet -- the box, the cone, diffraction, internal reflections. 2/ the harmonics need to stay within the envelope of the fundemental. Good impulse, good phase response. 3/ meantioned already. speaker placement in the room What are your speakers? dave

Polar pattern, room acoustics. All else is minor, assuming (as Dave points out) that the recording is well-made in that respect.
Midrange humps in the response can move things forward. Dips can move things back.

I would actually argue that room acoustics aren't exactly important or as important as people and measurements would lead you to believe. I think as long as you get rid of early reflections and give a decent amount of breathing room for your speakers you can effectively blank out the rooms effect with your mind. Sort of like looking directly into a flashlight - you can not see the reflected light outside of the source because your senses are being flooded by the source itself. I think surround sound is better at this for obvious coverage reasons.

Adverse Possession and Conservation: Expanding Traditional Notions of Use and PossessionAlexandra B. KlassUniversity of Minnesota Law School 77 University of Colorado Law Review 283 (2006) Abstract: At common law, very minimal actions were needed to establish the 'exclusive possession' necessary to acquire land by adverse possession when the land was 'wild' or undeveloped. This minimal burden to adversely possess wild lands, which is still the general rule today, stands in contrast to the much higher standard necessary to adversely possess developed lands. This article explores why the lesser standard for adverse possession of wild lands remains a threat to many of the millions of acres of land in this country that are still undeveloped. This article then proposes that courts modernize the adverse possession doctrine to expand traditional notions of use and possession in the context of wild lands to reflect the growing need for conservation in today's world.

The Alternate History Refiguring Historical Time 2001, 142 pp
courtesy of our partner, Atlas Books |
What would the world be like if history had taken a different course? Science fiction literature has long contemplated this interesting question.
The Alternate History: Refiguring Historical Time examines alternate history science fiction using the eschatological, genetic, entropic, and teleological historical models. Hellekson's original approach explains much of the appeal of alternate history and distinguishes among the many varieties of the genre. In her measured consideration of a range of writers, Hellekson displays a deep and broad knowledge of the major works in this genre—those by famous or neglected writers alike.

McCain's 'Straight Talk Express' Gets a Green Makeover
Since finishing in second place for president in 2008, John McCain has gone to great lengths to distance himself from, well, himself. He's ditched his past compassion for immigration reform, and even gone so far as to disavow the nickname "maverick"—his epithet of choice for much of his political career. So it's only fitting, I guess, that McCain's fabled Straight Talk Express campaign bus (shown here, getting the full Cribs treatment) has gone through something of a makeover as well. As Lloyd Grove at the Daily Beast reports, McCain's 2008 wheels are experiencing a second life in an environmental advocacy campaign spearheaded by Alexandra Cousteau, the granddaughter of underwater explorer Jacques:
With the defunct McCain logo now painted over in drab purple, the 45-foot biodiesel tour bus is outfitted with Internet access, state-of-the-art editing suites and other multimedia equipment that will accommodate Cousteau's international production crew of 15... Cousteau's journey, starting from the nation's capital, will take in water spots in the United States and Canada, including the Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence Seaway, the headwaters of the Colorado River, the Florida Keys, and the Kingston, Tennessee, coal ash sludge spill that, when a dam broke on a containment pool at a coal-fired electricity plant, dumped more than a billion gallons of toxic waste into the surrounding area.
I've always wondered (probably too much) what happens to campaign buses after their candidates crash and burn. I guess now we have our answer. Now if only someone can figure out what happened to the Ron Paul blimp.

GREENVILLE - South Middle School, part of the Greenville City School District, held a fundraiser in October for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, raising a total of $200 in four days, said Jenn Schatz, who organized the fundraiser.
Students were able to wear a hat for a day by donating a dollar, and teachers were able to donate $2 on three days to wear pink and jeans in support of Breast Cancer Awareness.
Students then voted based on homeroom teachers who would get to "kiss the pig," which ended up being a pug named Harley, who belongs to South School's secretary, Cathy Warvel.

The Geekiest Theme Park in Orlando? You Decide!

Throughout July we visited six of the biggest theme parks in Orlando, Florida and considered the top ten geeky attractions in each. Now it's time to vote for the park you consider the geekiest of them all. Before you vote, here's a recap of each of them:
1. Disney's Animal Kingdom
Home to dinosaurs, the Yeti and a host of real life animals, with a ton of learning opportunities thrown in to boot. Animal Kingdom is a biology or palaeontology geek's dream.
EPCOT has possibly the geekiest creation story of all parks; but on top of that the whole park is an educational wonderland. Blast off to Mars, learn about energy and communications, and tour the globe at World Showcase.
3. Disney's Hollywood Studios
Journey into the Twilight Zone, watch Indiana Jones performing stunt live on stage and fly around the galaxy far, far away. Younglings can even pick a fight with Darth Vader if they're feeling brave.
4. Universal's Islands of Adventure
There's an entire Island devoted to Marvel comic characters, another where you can finally walk through the giant gates of Jurassic Park, and yet another that's home to Hogsmeade and Hogwarts. Surely this park has to be in with a Phelpsian chance at winning the vote?
5. The Magic Kingdom
Pirates, Buzz Lightyear, the chance to fly around space on a rocket roller coaster, and a genuine railroad? They may not be the biggest geek brands but these are the geeky activities we all grew up with.
6. Universal Studios
E.T, Men in Black and the Terminator. If you like your geek served with a side of retro, then maybe this is the park for you!
Once you've decided on your choice, cast your vote below. Voting will stay open until Friday August 10 with the result being posted the following week. May the geekiest park win!

Sunday, June 13, 2004Things might be a little glitchy around here for the next several days as we migrate Fixitnow.com Samurai Appliance Repair Man from our present crucible here in Hong Kong to our new servers in Boston. Our excellent web hosting company, ICDSoft.com, who we've been with for over a year, is based in Hong Kong and recently opened a server center in Boston. Oh, I know what you're saying, "Excuse me, Thrice-Blessed Samurai, but there must be more web hosting companies here in Ameedica than there are defects on GE appliances. Why then, pray tell, O Gracious One, didn't you simply host with a U.S.-based web host to begin with?" A reasonable question, Grasshopper, and respectfully posed. The short answer is because, just like GE appliances, U.S.-based webhosts SUCK! This website has been around since 1996--by internet standards, it's paleolithic (for those of you in Bagdad, Kentucky, that means "reeeeel freakin' old"). So we've had more than enough time to become intimately familiar with the slimy, seedy underworld of web hosting. Prior to finding ICDSoft.com, we dealt exclusively with US-based web hosting companies--mostly because we didn't know any better. We had already been through over a dozen web hosts before we finally found ICDSoft.com. Finding them was like taking a hot, soapy shower after wallowing around in a lumpy cesspool of steaming pig manure. Anyway, the address for the new domain name servers (DNS) for Fixitnow.com Samurai Appliance Repair Man will take several days to propagate throughout the internet. So if things seem flakey around here for the next few days, you know why. Just be patient, everything will be back to normal by mid-week.

Upconversion spectroscopy of Al2O3:Er3+
Agazzi, L. and Wörhoff, K. and Pollnau, M. and Kahn, A. and Fechner, M. and Petermann, K. and Huber, G. (2010) Upconversion spectroscopy of Al2O3:Er3+. In: IV International Workshop on Photonic and Electronic Materials, 5-7 July 2010, San Sebastian, Spain (pp. p. 49).
Restricted to UT campus only : Request a copy 17kB |
Abstract: | The excitation and relaxation processes relevant for establishing optical gain in Al2O3:Er3+ on the 4I13/2 -> 4I15/2 transition at 1.5 µm are investigated. Excited-state absorption in the wavelength range from 900-1800 nm is measured in a pump-probe experiment. The 4I13/2 and 4I11/2 lifetimes are measured after direct excitation and the macroscopic parameter of the energy-transfer-upconversion (ETU) process (4I13/2, 4I13/2) -> (4I15/2, 4I9/2) is determined independently from both decay curves. By use of the Zubenko model the microscopic parameters of ETU and energy migration are derived. It is found that above the Er3+ concentration at which the transition from static to migration-accelerated ETU takes place also the 1.5-µm amplifier gain is diminished by this process. |

your dress doesn't look like the ice queen's so don't worry,
This also happened before he met flame princess so that's all~!
You woke up lying on the ground covered in snow, everything was chilly but you were wearing a jacket.
"Where am I?" You said to yourself questioning, you didn't know why you were there you don't even remember anything going there.
You heard someone cheering and shouting 'Radical'. You then saw a boy with a yellow dog.
You were debating with yourself either you ask him or you just stay where you are.
When you finally made up your mind you just went to the boy and talked to him. You tripped a little because it was unusual when you saw you weren't actually wearing a jacket but a long gown.
"Um, hello?" You asked a but shyly, "Jake look!" The boy said with a energetic voice.
"Uhh may I ask questions?" You asked almost mumbling. "Ya sure" The dog replied with a happy grin. "Um, first of all do you know how I got here? And second um can you tell me why I'm here?" You asked but wasn't sure either they were nice.
"Um we mostly don't know anything but I think you were captured by the ice king", when you slightly bowed you saw a tiara fall of your head, when you picked it up behind it was carved 'Snow princess'.
"Snow Princess? I don't ever remember being a princess of snow, "Hmm your a princess of snow? But I don't see anything in you related to the ice king" the boy said with a questioning look.
"Well she doesn't have blue skin or white hair, so I'm guessing she's not related to ice king, oh and by the way I'm Finn and this is Jake" Finn said answering his own question, "Finn I think we should bring her to Bubblegum first" Jake said giving Finn an opinion.
"Um princess can we bring you to another princess Bubblegum?", you just nodded in reply, you all then went to the Candy Kingdom.
"Princess Bubblegum, it's us Finn and Jake!" The gates then opened to reveal a girl with pink hair a tiara like yours and a pink gown.
"Princess Bubblegum we would like you to meet snow princess but can you just examine her a little so we would know a little about her?"
"Well sure boys, Snow Princess would you please follow me?" She asked you which you just agreed.
~Time Skip~
"Well I examined her, she isn't related to the ice king but she can control snow, so that's her element, she seems to have a memory loss before she came to Ooo but I know you'll do great of you guys give her a little tour in Ooo."
The two then gave a nod at the other princess and lend you his hand which you gladly gave yours".
~Time skip 'cause that's gonna take forever XD ~
You then ended arriving at a big treehouse, "And lastly this is our home~!" The boy cheered as he showed his home.
"Wow your home is huge" you turned around sat and looked at the sunset, your smile turned into a frown worrying where would you stay for the night.
He then followed you to where you sat and asked "Why the lonely face", you paused for a moment and continued.
"Well you know I just got here and all but I don't know where to stay, I mean I forgot everything since I came here" you whispered but just loud to hear.
He sighed and thought for a moment.
He then went to the dog a whispered something, he had a faint blush on his cheeks but you turned around to see the night full of stars.
"Would you mind staying in our house for a bit, until you find a good home to stay in?" He still had that faint blush for asking a girl especially a princess to sleep in his house.
You smiled and hugged him as a reply. He pushed you slightly so his face can meet yours, he slowly kissed you with. His lips were warm and filled with passion.
He parted and said "I never knew I would share this with you for my first time".
"This is an unforgetful moment~"

The conventional approach to statistical sampling of a production system consists of three main components:
Such a three stage sampling approach in fisheries is often carried out over a relatively short period of time by a fairly larger number of sampling officers (see Bazigos for details), and may be updated at regular intervals. This procedure is the one to be recommended if temporary manpower (e.g., student assistants) are available, but imposes problems for many small island states where such manpower is not always available. However, it is useful to consider a little further the components described above, in the fisheries context, before looking for alternative approaches.

Figure 1 Example of thematic map showing elements useful in constructing a statistical frame. (Modified from Caddy, 1982). (N.B. Although based on the fisheries infrastructure of Bahamas, this is for demonstration purposes only, and is not intended to represent an up-to-date representation of the current situation)
Figure 2 Illustrating one useful way of displaying statistical information for policy makers and planners. (From: Nova Scotia Fisheries Atlas: Nova Scotia Dept. of Fisheries)
The design of fisheries statistical surveys for collection of the required items of information demands the existence or construction of some form of framework for data collection. Such a framework can be in the form of a map or chart, or an annotated table of key features of the fishery, and is referred to as the "sampling frame". Such a frame is the first requirement for any proper sampling design, and dictates the field operations that follow. For simplicity, the "frame" may be considered as a map showing principal points of landing for each of the main fishing grounds. This kind of map is sometimes referred to as an "area frame", and should include principal routes for transportation of fish between landing sites and internal markets, and to markets outside the country (transshipment points), as well as routes for shipment into the country of fish caught outside the national waters, but landed here. An example of such a map is given in Figure 1.
This map should be updated as new information becomes available, and files should be kept for each of these landing points, listed and categorized as in Table 1. Separate, but cross-reference files should be kept also on the principal fish species landed, and on the main fishing grounds.
The chart and filing system described earlier can be cross-reference, and used as a basis for the construction of the sampling frame required for fisheries statistical surveys based on the sample method.
In most cases, Frame Surveys (FSs) based on the census method are designed and executed for the collection of information on the complete spectrum of inventory characteristics required. The results of the FSs are used, among other things, for the establishment of a proper sampling frame.
For the collection of current items information of the input and output characteristics of the operating fisheries (fishing effort, fish catch) CAS's are designed and executed to allow data collection and sampling in both space and time.
The sampling frame established is used for the selection of the sample sites in the CAS. Specifically, for the selection of the sample of landing points (= primary sampling units, PSU's) the method of stratified sampling is employed i.e., landing points are grouped into categories (= strata) according to their importance. An independent sample of landing points is then selected within the established strata. PSU's could then be selected either with equal or unequal probability (see Bazigos (1974) for details).
Sampling in time is employed for the collection of the items of information required within the sample PSU's. Specifically, a number of sample days is allocated to each sample PSU within the established reference periods (i.e., by month, quarter, etc.). Items of information on the survey characteristics are then obtained from a sample of boat-landings within the sample PSU's on the sample days selected.
It is important that some time be set aside, particularly by the supervisor, to check on the errors and biases due to either incomplete or inaccurate recording by the statistics gatherers, to investigate conversion factors, and to check on changes or omissions from the sample design uncovered in the cause of the CAS, and to make the appropriate correction, so that these factors can be allowed for in the later stage of summarizing and analysing the data.

As the accusations grow from a single droplet sliding down a window pane to the deafening thump, thump, thump of a powerful hailstorm, John Capparelli must leave his Newark classroom — and any job that includes direct contact with children.
If the disgraced priest-turned-teacher is unwilling to resign his position as a math instructor, and the school district believes it doesn't have grounds for suspension or dismissal, Capparelli should be reassigned immediately.
After the school district protects children, then it can worry about any possible legal exposure. Common sense, not lawyers, should rule the day.
Still, it's a perplexing issue, raised by Star-Ledger reporter Mark Mueller's ongoing investigation: Which John Capparelli is teaching accelerated ninth-grade math these days — the priest who has been accused of questionable sexual behavior (and stealing) in the 1970s and 1980s, then kicked out of the ministry, or the 18-year public school teacher with a clean record?
At first, there was a single allegation, made 30 years later. Now, there are more than 20 men who have come forward to tell The Star-Ledger they, too, were victimized by Capparelli and the fetish-tinged wrestling program he ran in the Archdiocese of Newark.
They say Capparelli required boys to wear crotch-hugging Speedos, and he occasionally would wear one, too. One man told The Star-Ledger that, as a boy, he once was put in a scissor hold by Capparelli, face-first into Capparelli's groin. When Capparelli wasn't
wrestling boys, he was photographing them during matches, accusers said. Polaroid shots were kept in a private collection.
The men came forward after a civil lawsuit was filed recently by 48-year-old Andrew Dundorf, of Somerset County, who said Capparelli posed wrestlers in "sexually suggestive positions" and groped their "buttocks and genitals." The new accusers make the same charges: no oral sex or penetration, but behavior that, if true, made Capparelli a sexual predator.
Joseph Del Grosso, president of the Newark Teachers Union, calls the allegations "a witch hunt," but believes "something should be worked out." He says the district can find a non-teaching position for Capparelli until the allegations have been proven or disproven.
District spokeswoman Renee Harper says "there has not been a single reported incidence of misconduct or any allegations against him whatsoever" during Capparelli's tenure in Newark public schools, so action is unlikely.
With that position, it's official: The district is in denial — or too worried that Capparelli might file a lawsuit.
The district also says Capparelli is in a co-teaching arrangement and rarely alone with kids. But that's not good enough.
Time doesn't soften the shocking nature of the allegations, nor allow school officials to discredit the accusers. Because when it comes to protecting children, common sense doesn't have an expiration date.

Harvard HIP (High Impact Philanthropy): Toby Ord speaking tonight
Are you interested in foreign aid, global development, medicine? Want to know how philanthropy and charitable giving can do the most good?
Aid Works (On Average) – By Toby Ord
Tuesday, March 26th; Emerson Hall 108; 8 PM
There is considerable controversy about whether foreign aid helps poor countries, with several prominent critics arguing that it doesn't. Dr. Ord shows that these critics have only reached this conclusion because they have failed to count the biggest successes of aid, such as the eradication of smallpox, which have been in the sphere of global health rather than economic growth. These health successes have often been neglected in analysis of aid because they have only made up a small proportion of aid spending. When we look at the impact of this spending, though, we see that it the big wins have been so utterly vast that they more than justify all aid spending to date.
Dr. Toby Ord is a philosopher at the University of Oxford and a research associate at the Uehiro Center for Practical Ethics and the Future of Humanity Institute. He is also the founder and director of Giving What We Can, an international society dedicated to eliminating poverty in the developing world.
Join Dr. Ord tonight, March 26, at 8 PM for a talk and discussion of the effectiveness of foreign aid. Refreshments will be provided, and a reception will follow.
Planning to come? Please RSVP on Facebook to help us plan refreshments.
Last opportunity to donate well
By Nir Eyal
Still deliberating which charity to give money to this year? The best charity evaluator is an organization called GiveWell. With one major reservation, you can safely follow their recommendations.
And yes, you really should donate a bunch–today, and as a New Year's resolution. If you choose the right cause, you could do ethical wonders, while remaining rich.

What was it that you said about Thabo? Didn't you say he was overrated? I provided you with evidence that proves that someone saying he's overrated when he's generally viewed as a top 10 perimeter defensive player is foolish.
The point I made simply flew over your head. I am not saying Thabo is the best defensive player in the league or any foolish thing like that all I am saying is that he is not overrated. Simple as that.
On to the 2nd round!
Have you given yourself an opportunity to understand the stats before you say you don't buy them? The facts speaks for themselves your eyes tell you otherwise. I've seen Thabo give elite perimeter offensive players fits and make their living harder game in game out. I've seen Durant guard the opposing teams best offensive player late in 4ths when his team needs scoring and Harden is on the floor. However when the Thunder needs a stop you can bet your bottom dollar that Thabo is on the floor and 9 times out of 10 is guarding the other team's best offensive wing player.
I am not saying Thabo is an absolute shutdown defender. All I am saying is that he is not overrated and is quite valuable on that end of the floor.

More Manhattan Mania! The upcoming Setai Fifth Avenue has just announced that its culinary plans will include a restaurant from busy Manhattan chef Michael White, who already runs Convivio, Alto and Marea and a has fourth restaurant planned for Soho. This will be his fifth.
The new restaurant will be called Ai Fiori and The NYT has the detes:
The second-floor restaurant in the Setai Fifth Avenue, 400 Fifth Avenue (37th Street), set to open in late fall. The restaurant will feature the food of the Italian Mediterranean coast, with some French Riviera influences, and have about 185 seats with another 40 at the bar.
Looks like this luxury hotel is passing up the kind of quick "restaurant concepts" we talked about yesterday.

"The quality of paper used, the colors, and the style helped make this invite for my little guys 4th birthday party too perfect. It captures his sweet and funny personality to a T. You always deliver perfection tiny prints, thanks!"
"Very cute card! The colors are bright and vibrant. I was very pleased with the end result and have received multiple compliments from others. It was difficult choosing a photograph, as the frame or printing area is a little small, but once I found the right picture, it was perfect! I would recommend this to anyone."
"I have gotten so many compliments on this card. They look great and are very easy to change fonts and colors. I believe these were the invites that didn't ask for a time, so be sure to add that in."
"Quality was great - and it arrived two days earlier than projected. My daughter was wearing a golden yellow dress in the photo I used, and it looked great with the design."
"I, along with the invited guests, loved the look and quality of this invitation. It perfectly captured what we wanted to present in a colorful and creative way."

Great w/1 minor area of concern.
November 4, 2010
I and my son stayed here the last week of March, Loved the House, Location, Landlord and Canal, the one and only thing that i had a small problem with was the boat-house under the house, don't get me wrong, it is a perfect place for it, it was just very shallow and needed more protection from the cement walls as you pulled your boat in and tied it off. We were very carefull and did not get any scrapes or scratches but it took both of us to do it, to do it right anyway. LOL
Great Time Great Vacation. Totally Enjoyed it.

When Skrillex, a 23 year-old dance-music producer from Los Angeles whose real name is Sonny Moore, nabbed the final Best New Artist slot at last night's Grammy Nominations Concert, more than a few people balked:
Who is this Skill-rex person/band, and why has he/she/they taken away the nomination from my beloved (insert act here)?!
But other people were much more excited about his nomination (this is a real, if not strictly grammatical reaction from his official Facebook page):
Your f–king amazing! I hope you win each and every one of those Grammy's, you deserve it! F–k the haters that say otherwise, your dope as f–k!!!!!!
Truth is, if you aren't still on the Party Rock circuit, you've likely never heard of Skrillex, the dubstep wunderkind whose trancey EPs blare at raves and festivals across the country and whose personal YouTube uploads have racked up over 190 million views. To the tech-savvy Gen-Zers, though, for whom thumping bass rumbles and beep-bop-boop remixes are commonplace, Skrillex is a god among DJs. (Somewhere, P!nk is totally confused by that line.)
Perhaps the Grammys were attempting to reach out to the youth demographic that every awards show so desperately desires by giving Skrillex a Best New Artist slot. Or perhaps they simply wanted to acknowledge the rise of dubstep/dance music by awarding him five nominations and giving deadmau5 three of his own. Or perhaps Grammy voters really just love Skrillex. (I mean, he clearly shares a lot of fans with last year's Best New Artist winner, Esperanza Spalding, right?)
No matter what the reasoning, though, some people – you know, the kind who prefer guitars and pianos and lyrics (fogies!) – just can't consider Skrillex a legitimate music artist. They hear tracks like the one below and wonder, "Is this music or just noise?" (and also: "Get off my lawn!"):
Thus, I'm turning this one over to you Music Mixers. Vote in the poll below and then take to the comments to let your voice be heard.

More details
This lovely necklace depicts a detail from a Hans Wechtlin chiaroscuro print of the Virgin and Child. The pendant has been laser etched and cut and hangs on 14k gold filled chain. This is of a much higher quality than gold plated chain and has a thicker layer of gold on it. Gold Filled components are made of a base metal (usually brass or copper) covered by sheets of gold in a mechanical bonding process. This produces athick coat of gold: the gold content is 5% or 1/20 of the total weight. 14k gold filled components are hard wearing and should last a long time. They are also safe for most people with sensitive skin.
- Dimensions - 5 x 2.5 cm
- Material - Wood goldplate chain

Holee-Driver 5pts Local PD and sheriff is all going with Tahoe's and Explorers. I don't expect to see any of these any time soon.
Shriker66 5pts Good performance.....we will have to wait and see how they sell to PD's and IF they hold up. Personally I think its a poor choice on Ford's part.....or that they are stuck having to use it because they dont HAVE anything to compete with the rear drive V8 platforms from Chevy and Dodge. If I was buying these for SEVERE duty , like Cops use them.....this is NOT the platform I would consider. At least TWICE the parts of the competitors .....twin turbos intercoolers, dohc, 24 valves 4wd etc. etc. A lot to pay for initially and a lot to maintain down the road and IF it breaks , $$$ I am sure they drive well ...... but we shall see......
Shriker66 5pts @CALI-LIFER with less what?...less thought maybe..... , CALI? This is ANOTHER bad scenario for this type of setup , like in TRUCKS. Why would you go to a WAY more complex platform for severe duty like cops need? Four wheel drive though helpful at times is costly to buy and costly to fix when you break it AND has double the parts TO break. This Ford powertrain probably has at least double the stressed parts that the other two powertrains do......WAY more to buy , fix and maintain. So far there have been issues with these engines.....Fords ecoboob is a great engine in something OTHER than a TRUCK or COP car that will need to survive severe duty at times. Unfortunately for Ford, they dont HAVE a Crown Vic successor ..... bit short sited if you ask me.....Like Chevy and Dodge do (rear drive V8 platforms that are thoroughly modern).
mopar_srt 5pts Curiously, MSP didn't wait to test the new AWD Hemi Pursuit that has just become available. And the stock Hemi Charger hits 60 in 5.2 secs, so what gives? They don't weigh these down that much.
92Vectra1.6i 5pts Quickness doesn't beat reliability and most P.D.'s will be avoiding the EcoBoost setup so the real question is how quick is the NA V6 and will the Taurus, I mean Ford, Interceptor prove to be reliable in long term law enforcement service and the jury's still out on that, particularly on the EB equipped Taurus, I mean Ford, Interceptor. Around town (Charlotte) there are a handful of new Explorer, I mean Interceptor utilities and one or two Taurus, I mean Ford, Interceptors with Chargers, Caprices and Tahoes far more popular than the Fords (other than the Crown Vic which is still the volume cruiser).
CALI-LIFER 5pts what a bunch of sore losers these guys are!! posting old links that have nothing to so with this car!! its very funny to hear bs stories about turbos blowing up!!! lol go colts!!
btc909 5pts How expensive is it?If this isn't in the low to mid 20's most departments will pass. I'm seeing some Ford Explorers.
Dr Kundt 5pts a half second 0-60 doesn't mean a damn thing they should be in the car with the lowest operating costs why do they need a big HP car anyway? they're not in chases 99.5% of the time, and even then these "v8" cop cars still aren't really that fast, so what's the point? Cops should really be in 4 banger camrys
72corvette 5pts Its just a shame departments are having problems with the turbos going out on the ecoboost engines. Local PD has been having tons of problems with them blowing out
Todd27 5pts @72corvette Have yet to hear any thing of the sort. Where can we all reference this information?......The GM almanac of wishful thinking? And what is "blowing out"? Are they shooting through the hood? I'm going to YouTube this....
72corvette 5pts @CALI-LIFER Well they haven't gone to the shop multiple times for turbo replacements for nothing. Even the V6 Explorer CPD uses has been to the shop for problems. Meanwhile the Chargers and Caprices have not had any issues. But you're the same guy who can't handle the Z/28 killing the Mustang at the ring anyway
72corvette 5pts @Todd27 @72corvette http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/cars/2013/05/28/ford-f150-ecoboost-governemnt-probe/2367197/Ecoboost is garbage, they won't stand the test of time especially when compared to the Crown Vic. Pretty sad when the Taurus interceptor POS can't make it 30,000 miles without a turbo going out
Todd27 5pts @72corvette @Todd27 This link is not about police department issues with twin turbo Ford engines. This is the old story on a few people having an issue with inter-cooler condensation. Here is something that should always be remembered. This issue was handled quicker and cheaper and affected a much smaller fraction of vehicles than the LS piston slap issue when GM introduced that generation of engine. While you continue to call the Ford engine garbage it will continue to out power what ever GM comes up with and it will continue to prove its durability. I would not hold my breath waiting for those turbos to "blow" if i were you. As it stands right now they are proving themselves as durable and reliable as any other engine if not better.
CALI-LIFER 5pts @72corvette Has been to the shop for problems. Problems? that's the best you can do? you can even name the reason they been to the shop? what is it confidential? local PD has had multiple issues with them? hmmm let me see you cant name the problem or the actual police department that reported what your saying? yea we can believe you alright. cough cough
marcuscoyle 5pts @72corvette such rubbish. I know turbos go out but BLOWING out is a whole new thing to me bro!
CALI-LIFER 5pts @72corvette by the way I gave the z28 props not sure what your talking about, as a matter of fact I own 4 z28 Camaros from 82-86 so I am very happy to see them coming back. dumb ass. let me know if you need pics.
Shriker66 5pts @Todd27 So far in the few models I have seen as a fleet service company owner , I have already heard issues with them. I have also had a few folks complain on the few forums ......so far this doesnt bode well for this vehicle. How many more parts do you think this four wheel drive , twin turbo double over head cam four valve per cylinder intercooler , direct injection variable valve timing vehicle has compared to the Dodge and Chevy? We had this same discussion with regard to TRUCKS .....BAD place for this type of setup when you NEED extreme durability over the LONG HAUL. I would NEVER invest in something like this as a FLEET OWNER or a PD......no way. The other two options are MUCH more likely to cost much less to maintain and repair down the road. The 1/2 second gained to 60 (most from 4wd , which can definitely be benefitial in many situations) is NOT worth the potential cost down the road.I sure hope Ford is giving them a better powertrain warranty then they are in the Trucks with these.....
72corvette 5pts @Shriker66 @Todd27 Exactly. My CPD friend is stuck with an intercepter after having a Charger and the turbo is being replaced for the second time. The fleet managers can't stand them
72corvette 5pts @CALI-LIFER @72corvette here have been multiple turbo replacements for interceptors in the City of Cincinnati traffic unit, per the fleet manager
boogtc25 5pts So that is one test, what about handling, braking, features, price?... this whole article could be summed up by "Ford wins in one metric out of dozens MSP tests"
rickyac 5pts The reason the Crown Victoria lasted around as long as they did was the reliability. Heck, it's safe to say that the Ford Crown Vic is more reliable than a Honda and that's truly saying something. I'd doubt this new engine Ford put out will last half as long as the old 4.6... but damn was that engine a gas guzzler.
GhostFive 5pts @rickyac The reason its lasted was be cause it did many things good, nothing bad, but really nothing great. What worked for some didnt for others but it was always offset by having other usable features. My cousin is head mech at a Yellow cab and in MA and at this shop they have to replaces transmissions alot. Ive seen then rust out, engines blow with low miles, steering issues ect ect but the car was allways fixable. I have a good friend that is a police captain and made the switch to dodge when the Chargers came out but doesnt like em. He plans on buying some Chevys next for the purpose built aspect.
Vigo Charger 5pts Can't outrun the radio but the AWD would be handy in the north and allow the cops to get where they are needed. It will always come down to cost for the tax payers. I see a mixed bag of all three up my way. After the loss of the Vic I think you have a 66.6% chance it will be something other than a ford behind you.
firstname.lastname@example.com 5pts DCPD seems to be going with the Fords... interestingly I see more Explorers tan Tauruses. Out in MD and VA the Charger seems to be King though I have seen State Troopers in the Caprice.
Lafond66 5pts this is a good thing but Ford is going to make a new Car for 2015 so they need to get the new one
Richard Crosby 5pts Pretty much all agencies in my area are going with the Taurus ecoboost & Explorer. I hated them the first time i saw 'em, but i have to admit they are growing on me. Im gonna wait before making a judgement call on how good of a cop car they are until i see more on the road with more miles on them. People have to realize too is there is no such thing as a pefect car when they come out, especially when tasked with police duties.
Crim13 5pts I know if I see any of these vehicles in my rear-view I'm screwed. But a 4/10ths difference in 0-60 times is probably due to AWD. NA engines seem like a more logical choice for when heat soak kicks in. We'll see, either way I'm sure all three will get equal attention.
mopar_srt 5pts If they used the AWD Ecoboost, the yes, naturally they'll be better because of traction. But most agencies will not deal with the Ecoboosts much higher costs and maintenance. Plus you can get a Hemi-Charger for the price of a V6 Interceptor, after rebates.
lasvegascolonel 5pts I suspect the engine in this is the turbo Ecoboost V6, which supposedly cost more to begin with, plus mechanics say turbos will need extra servicing later on. With V8s from GM getting better mpg, I wonder how these costs will impact local police department budgets. Many police departments are trying to hold onto their Crown Vics for as long as possible, though I have no problem with criminals being more cramped in the smaller Taurus. I heard rear legroom is scare in the short wheelbased Taurus, but rear passengers are generally not supposed to be comfortable I guess.
Mike the car nut 5pts @CALI-LIFER Yeah, go figure an AWD car would get better traction off the line for a 0-60 sprint. Who woulda thought???
Matt H 5pts Do the test again after a year of duty cycles, or, what are the times from a rolling start? Or braking distances? or rough terrain, or P.I.T'ing another vehicle....C'mon!

Directions to Dar Al Bahar
From Marrakech or Agadir, it's approx 3 hrs by car (Our GPS details are : N31� 30 944' W9� 46 229'). Alternatively, you can go by touring car (bus).
The more adventurous might like to take the 'local' bus, which makes many stops, is less comfortable but also less expensive.
The whole medina is a pedestrian area, so, it's a 10 min. walk. The area is named 'San Dion'.
