Lenoir County Schools isn't the only district concerned about state educational policies.
Darcy Grimes, the North Carolina Teacher of the Year, agreed with local educators during a visit to Northeast Elementary School Friday when sharing her worries about the state's Read to Achieve program.
Under the Excellent Public Schools Act, the initiative designed to ensure grade-level reading by the end of third grade will seep into public school classrooms starting next school year. But Grimes and Northeast Principal Kecia Dunn recognized that RTA is modeled after a program from Florida proven to be ineffective.
During a roundtable discussion with 10 Northeast teachers, Grimes, an advisor on the state board of education, said she has inquired about why legislators would implement the program.
"I am concerned for public education," said Grimes, who went unanswered in her queries about RTA by the BOE and general assembly.
Since July 1, Grimes has visited 89 N.C. counties, working on Department of Public Instruction committees and various colleges and universities, all while making campus visits. She has been out of her third-grade classroom at Bethel Elementary School in Watauga County this year as she handles her Teacher of the Year duties.
She said discussions with teachers vary with each visit, but there have been many of the same concerns and interests across the state.
"I think a lot of that, too, just helps the teachers know they're not alone — it's not just their school, it's not just their county," Grimes said. "It's across the state."
Dunn, who sat in for most the conversation, said she couldn't understand why the state would adopt Read to Achieve.
Under the program, if children cannot read at grade level by the end of third grade, they will retain third-grade status but move on to a fourth grade classroom. They will receive 90 minutes of reading intervention time while going through fourth grade curriculum, though they will still be considered third graders.
"You don't have to retain a child on paper to do that," said Dunn, who was this year's Lenoir County School Principal of the Year. "I don't see the point in maintaining their third grade status but they're actually in a fourth grade classroom. (The state) couldn't give (Grimes) an answer either. It has proven to be not effective in the state of Florida.
"North Carolina has adopted this, and I just don't understand it."
LCS sent a letter to parents May 20 outlining how RTA works and will affect their child.
Dunn was pleased Grimes was knowledgeable about the program, as well as other educational issues the state is facing, such as budget cuts and other reading programs.
"You make a difference," Dunn told Grimes Friday. "I appreciate all that you've done to get to this point. You're representing us well, and just keep fighting for us because we need it. (The state) needs to hear from people who are in the trenches."
As Grimes travelled the state, she's maintained a blog to keep her own school system community connected. She's taken note of ideas to bring back to her principal and said she's gained invaluable knowledge this past year.
"I've met so many amazing teachers," said Grimes, who has only been teaching six years. "Now I will be a much better teacher when I go back into the classroom because of everything that I've observed just talking to teachers."
Grimes said before her journey, she was unaware of many policies and has tried to make DPI aware of the lack of communication. With her advocacy for education, Grimes touched many of the state's instructors.
Upcoming Northeast Teacher of the Year LaToyha Polk said she was enlightened to hear from Grimes what's coming down the pipeline.
"Now we know the mindset of our Senate and General Assembly," said Polk. "They're making some tough decisions, so therefore those tough decisions will affect us. I just appreciate her coming and sharing those thoughts."
Polk, who teaches reading, said RTA also stood out to her during Grimes' visit.
"That Read to Achieve sends a question mark over my head," she said, "and it's not a good question mark."

Hey folksI just received the Olympus TG-2 in the mail this week, and splurged on the two lenses as well (teleconverter and fisheye). I posted my review on Amazon here:http://www.amazon.com/review/R37CWYKXNJ1QHF/ref=cm_cr_pr_perm?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B00AQ2BWP4&linkCode=&nodeID=&tag=Short summary? It's as good as most affordable point and shoot cameras, but not on the same level as the cream of the crop (like Panasonic LX7 and Sony RX100) or mirrorless camera systems. Yet it's way more expensive than equivalent quality cameras... all that cash is going into making it waterproof, dustproof, and tough. I would plan on keeping this directly attached to my backpack strap at all times, even in torrential downpours and crossing rivers and dusty trails, to catch the shots that I never would have considered otherwise (or those that are too quick to ready a well-protected sensitive camera). The option of expansion lenses is expensive, but opens up some extra creative expression not available to any cameras of comparable quality.I don't have details about battery life yet. The TG-2 has an aperture priority mode, and better macro features compared to the TG-1.Here are some weights for the gram-conscious: (in ounces)TG-2 camera+battery: 8 1/2teleconverter: 3 1/2fisheye 5 1/4cable (proprietary, not standard usb): 1 5/8Li-90B battery: 7/8Note: If you use a StickPic, the fisheye weight is precarious; the ring has a tendency to slip. But it's still doable.Also worthy of consideration once it comes out: Pentax WG-3, which will have a 16MP sensor, but other differences.
Hi Matt, I have been using the TG-1 since last July. I also have both converter lenses, a CP filter, and the 40m underwater case. I agree the main advantage of this type of cameras is the increased opportunities for creativity and perspective and for our hiking purposes, the GPS/manometer functions. I would caution that while the camera is certainly "tough" the rear LCD monitor is still susceptible to scratching and abrasion, particularly if you let it swing free from a packstrap. Best to store it in some type of neoprene sock.As for the Aperture Priority mode, I think you will find it of limited use since the lens zooms and its focal length governs the maximum aperture size in most scenarios. And since the sensor is small, there really is not much affect on out of focus bokeh in portraits. Actually, I suspect Aperture mode functions just like the Low Light mode setting from the TG-1 which also has the super macro-mode, but buried in the soft menu.In my experience, battery life is actually quite good (maybe best in class?) if you don't shoot a lot of video and keep the GPS tracking turned off. Still, having an extra battery is a wise investment.
On the aperture mode, perhaps you're right. I did read some professional reviews that were excited to see the aperture mode included, since they had seen the TG-1 processor decide to lower the f-stop in certain situations, when they didn't think that was necessary. But I took a shot in aperture-priority this morning, and yes, there was so much light that the ISO could not be lowered enough to compensate; the photo was washed out. Maybe not super helpful in most outdoor scenarios. Considering that you have the CP filter; does that cause any vignetting on the lens? I was thinking about getting one...
Also, what is your carrying case solution? I've been browsing Amazon for some sort of light belt / pack-strap case that would accommodate storing the camera with or without attached lenses. Same thing with unused lenses?
Matt, I just use a neoprene sock-like slip-on case I bought at our local equivalent of the USA Dollar Store. I use a thin neck strap instead of the OEM red wrist strap and just tuck the camera under my left pack strap to keep it from swinging loose. When I want to take a pic I slip the camera from beneath the strap and out of the sock. I suppose the dedicated Olympus semi-hard case w/biner will work well, but is quite expensive IMO.The converter lenses and mini gorillapod are kept in my waist belt pockets with no special protection other than the lens caps. The cheap CP filter I bought from Adorama does not cause any vignetting but in practice it is quite difficult to properly tune without the benefit of an optical viewfinder. As a result it has not seem much use since last Summer.

I just bought and returned the TG-2 with insurance money I received after destroying a Sony TX10 in the ocean. It was a nice camera, but after using the sleek sony tx10 for a couple of years, I found the olympus too bulky and heavy. I knew I'd contemplate leaving it behind on some fast and light trips. I'm considering the new Sony TX30 instead. Waterproof to 33 feet, and only 5/8" thick and 140g. Probably gives up some low light performance to the fast TG-2 lense, but a trade off I'm very comfortable with. Little bit cheaper too
Edited by 7sport on 03/12/2013 05:38:42 MDT.
Missing tripod socket would be deal killer for me out of the gate. Actually quite a few more gotchas that would make this Sony pretty much useless for my needs. And a useless camera is just dead weight no matter how small or tiny.
"That's because Rabs bivvies are made to be used the way bivvies are supposed to be used: high altitude mountaineering."funny that I actually chose the tiny camera for the exact same reason. A camera left behind because it didn't fit in my pocket is equally useless. Our needs are just very different.
This company has several options for carrying, including a chest harness (camera vest) and one that attaches to your pack strap (Strapshot).You insert by holding the lens horizontal, it then locks in as the lens goes to the carry position pointing down. It is then released quickly with a twist back to lens-horizontal. there is also a long safety cord attached if you want extra precaution from a drop.http://www.cottoncarrier.com/Here is another popular site for camera carry.http://www.thinktankphoto.com/ (Look under "straps" and also "holsters")
Edited by rambler on 04/10/2013 06:14:42 MDT.
For my preferences, these solutions seem a bit heavy/bulky for the smallish TG-2. Plus the thinktankphoto straps use dual-connections where the TG-2 only has a strap mount point on the right side.I have the following products which are relatively minimalistOp/Tech Digital D Soft Pouch (small)-- just a little large / misproportioned, but it fits the camera with either lens still attached and isn't very heavy.-- I had the retention strap moved from the left side to the right side to match the camera (ease of insertion)Op/Tech 3401002 Compact Sling-- pairs with the Digital D pouchOp/Tech Fold-over Pouch 253-- stores the teleconverter lensOp/Tech Fold-over Pouch 301-- stores the fisheye lensI would like a pack-strap mount version of the Digital D pouch, but haven't figured a good solution yet.
I like my TG 1's featurea but not its weight. I carry it in a light nylon zippered case attatchec to my pack's padded shoulder strap.That aside it has everything I need and some features don't - yet, at least.Its low lightability is great and the photos in normal conditions are very good.As Father Guido Sarducci from SNL said, "Notta too bad, notta too bad."

Black Writers in America: Black Male Heroes
Walter Mosley's Easy Rawlins mysteries, which include Devil in a Blue Dress: An Easy Rawlins Mystery (1990), A Red Death (1991), White Butterfly (1992), and Black Betty: An Easy Rawkins Mystery (1994), challenge their readers in ways other than the conventional "whodunit" and reward them with more than the usual detective-protagonist's rounding up the suspects, sorting through the alibis, and catching out the culprit. What sets Mosley apart from other writers of detective fiction are his distinctive wit, his eye for-and depiction of-detail, and his sensitivity to those social forces and personalities that make up the South-Central Los Angeles of the series' reluctant, existentialist detective-hero. Moreover, the social realism that marks the series has compelled many among Mosley's legion of admirers-including First Fan Bill Clinton-to reread the novels for clues to what may have precipitated the Los Angeles riots of 1992.
While Mosley's most recent book, R. L.'s Dream (1995), is a departure from the South-Central series, Easy Rawlins devotees can look forward to at least two more installments in this popular and critically acclaimed series. As millions of filmgoers flock to the recently released version of Devil in a Blue Dress (1995) from TriStar Pictures (directed by Carl Franklin with Denzel Washington as Easy Rawlins), Mosley is already at work on A Little Yellow Dog forthcoming (1996) and Bad Boy Bobby Brown.
The Gould Center for Humanistic Studies proudly joins the Athenaeum in welcoming Walter Mosley to CMC, where he will speak on "Black Male Heroes."
The Future of the Research University
Kenneth Wilson was born in 1936 in Waltham, Massachusetts, the son of a distinguished chemist who taught at Harvard University. Wilson was an undergraduate at Harvard College, and obtained his doctorate in 1961 at the California Institute of Technology, where he was a student of Murray Gell-Mann. He was then a junior fellow in Harvard's Society of Fellows, and joined Cornell University's department of physics in 1963. He held a professorship there beginning in 1970. Wilson became the director of the Center for Theory and Simulation in Science and Engineering in 1985. In 1988 he moved to The Ohio State University's department of physics. He is now heavily engaged in educational reform as a co-principal investigator on Ohio's Project Discovery.
The ultimate recognition of his achievements in physics was the Nobel Prize in physics, awarded for discoveries he made in understanding how bulk matter undergoes "phase transition," i.e., sudden and profound structural changes resulting from variations in environmental conditions.
After Kenneth Wilson won the Nobel Prize for solving some of the major problems of modern physics, he took on an even more daunting task: reforming education in America. In his recent book Redesigning Education (1994), Wilson has challenged many of the assumptions about educational reform, arguing against repairing the dilapidated structure of traditional schooling and in favor of a new vision of what it means to educate and be educated in a post-industrial society. Adherence to traditional icons of scholastic excellence will not suffice to enable students to confront the problem-solving demanded in the information age. Wilson has been praised widely for his bold and innovative proposals based on his insights into the process of scientific achievement.
Wilson's background prior to educational reform ranges from elementary particle theory and condensed matter physics (critical phenomena and the Kondo problem) to quantum chemistry and computer science, where he is coinventor of a new programming style called Gibbs, still under development.
Wilson's style of lecturing has become widely known for being as provocative as his ideas. Please join us for what promises to be a challenging presentation on the future of higher education and the research university.
In Commemoration of Veteran's Day
In the spirit of Veteran's Day, the Marian Miner Cook Athenaeum is pleased to welcome retired U.S. Army Colonel David Hackworth.
Colonel Hackworth is America's most decorated living veteran. He enlisted in the Merchant Marines at the age of 14, the U.S. Army at 15, and he became the youngest captain during the Korean War. Eight of his 25 years of service were in combat. His career has spanned ten wars and conflicts, including World War II, Desert Storm, and most recently Yugoslavia and Somalia. He has earned eight Purple Hearts and over 100 valor awards.
Despite his many honors, his career has not been void of controversy. In 1971 he was the only senior officer to publicly speak out against the American presence in Vietnam, saying "This is a bad war ... we need to get out ... it can't be won." In the same interview he accurately predicted that the North Vietnamese flag would fly over Saigon in four years.
His experiences and observations of wars all over the globe give him an unusual perspective as a journalist. He is coauthor of the international best seller About Face: The Odyssey of an American Warrior (1989) and Brave Men: Odyssey of an Infantryman (1993). He also coauthored the Vietnam Primer (1966), the fighting man's bible for guerrilla warfare in Vietnam. He is currently a contributing editor for defense at Newsweek and a syndicated columnist. He continues to be a strong advocate of major military reform, and he believes that military solutions are becoming increasingly obsolete.
Black Writers in America: Melvin Tolson
Anyone who attempts to list the many accolades, honors, and achievements of Rita Dove had best come to the task prepared with a large store of superlatives. When, in May 1993, Dove was appointed United States poet laureate and consultant in poetry at the Library of Congress, she became the youngest person and the first African American to receive this highest official honor in American letters. By that time, this summa cum laude graduate of Miami University of Ohio had already won wide acclaim for her poetry collections, The Yellow House on the Corner (1980), Museum (1983), and Thomas and Beulah (1986), the last of which earned her the 1987 Pulitzer Prize, the first time since 1950 (when Gwendolyn Brooks was so honored) that this prestigious award went to a black poet.
Dove has also essayed with remarkable success the genres of short story (with the collection Fifth Sunday (1983)), novel (with Through the Ivory Gate (1992)), and verse drama (with The Darker Face of Earth (1994)). Her latest poetry collection, Mother Love, appeared in the spring of 1995, at the same time the Library of Congress issued The Poet's World (1995), a collection of her laureate lectures.
In her Athenaeum lecture Dove will restore to its rightful place in the canon of 20th-century American literature the verse of the unjustly neglected modernist poet, Melvin Tolson. Tolson's Harlem Gallery: Book I, The Curator (1965) will be the centerpiece of Dove's overview and appreciation of the poet whom such literary luminaries as Allen Tate, William Carlos William, Theodore Roethke, and Robert Frost have tried to bring to the general literary consciousness.
The Gould Center for Humanistic Studies takes enormous pride in welcoming Rita Dove to CMC. Her presentation will be the finale in the Athenaeum's fall semester series, "Black Writers in America."
A special treat is in store for everyone who attends this afternoon tea. Students and staff from the CMC/HMC/PIT/SCR joint music program will perform selected movements from the Horn Quintet in E-Flat, K. 407, by W. A. Mozart, and the Piano Quintet in E-Flat, Op. 44, by R. Schumann.
Tea begins at 3:00 p.m. The musicians will play at 3:45 p.m.
For the Record: From Wall Street to Washington
TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1995 12:15 p.m.
Few executives ever climb the ladder to one of the top posts on Wall Street. Fewer still move on to the inner workings of Washington and the White House itself. Donald Regan's impressive professional careers extend from the battlefields of the South Pacific during World War II, to being chairman of a major Wall Street financial house, to the corridors of the West Wing of the White House during the Reagan years. In his visit to Claremont, sponsored by the Claremont McKenna College Republicans and the Henry R. Salvatori Institute, Regan will focus on his experiences both in the private and public sectors, and discuss his involvement in and perspective on important events that took place during his career.
A 1940 graduate from Harvard, Regan entered the Marine Corps and served in Iceland as well as in the South Pacific during World War II, from Guadalcanal to Okinawa. In 1946 Regan joined the Wall Street firm Merrill Lynch, where he would spend thirty-five years, becoming Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Office in 1971. In 1981, at President Ronald Reagan's request, he joined the new administration as Secretary of the Treasury. Following Reagan's reelection, Regan moved next door on Pennsylvania Avenue and was appointed Chief of Staff to the President in 1985, a post which he held during a sometimes tumultuous two years.
Donald Regan was a contrarian, both on Wall Street and in Washington. He offers a personal perspective on both worlds. Please join us to welcome this accomplished and distinguished guest to our community.
Lunch is served at 11:45 a.m. Mr. Regan speaks at 12:15 p.m.
Telling the Truth: Why Our Schools, Our Culture, and Our Country Have Stopped Making Sense- and What We Can Do about It
According to Lynne V. Cheney, American culture and society are under the attack of a relativism that seeks to undermine the importance of truth. A former head of the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), she argues that contemporary movements such as multiculturalism, radical feminism, political correctness, and critical race theory have adversely affected the sociopolitical pillars of the United States. Cheney contends that academics, writers, and journalists have created a moral and intellectual crisis by subverting truth for the benefit of "politically useful views."
In her latest book, Telling the Truth: Why Our Schools, Our Culture, and Our Country Have Stopped Making Sense-and What We Can Do About It (1995), Cheney illustrates how the "war on objective truth" is being waged on several fronts: schools, workplaces, college campuses, and the media. Moreover, Cheney details what she believes to be the complicity of federal and state government agencies in funding this onslaught on truth.
Cheney is currently the W. H. Brady, Jr. Distinguished Fellow at the American Enterprise Institute (AEI)-a nonpartisan research institute focusing on domestic and international issues. She also serves as the chairman of both the Committee to Review National Standards and the National Alumni Forum. A prominent conservative spokesperson, she has written on American education and culture, and her work has been featured in The New York Times, Newsweek, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, and Time. She cohosts CNN's Sunday Crossfire and she has been a guest on The Today Show, This Week with David Brinkley, The MacNeil-Lehrer News Hour, and Firing Line.
A former senior editor at Washingtonian magazine, Cheney holds a Ph.D. in English and has taught at several colleges and universities. She has authored two books and coauthored two others, including Kings of the Hill: How Nine Powerful Men Changed the Course of American History forthcoming (1996), a history of leadership in the U.S. House of Representatives, which she wrote with her husband, former Secretary of Defense Richard Cheney.
The Confucian Ethic: Truth, Justice, and the Asian Way
As The Washington Post's bureau chief in Tokyo since 1990, T. R. Reid has gone beyond covering the newsmaking events of Japan and East Asia. Reid also writes a syndicated column and offers good-humored commentaries on Japanese life and culture for National Public Radio's Morning Edition. He has not only become one of America's best-known foreign correspondents, but he also has acquired a unique understanding of East Asian society.
Living and working in East Asia, Reid has observed the resurgence of the Confucian ethic in modern Asian society- a trend of which many Americans are unaware. He notes that this new emphasis on Confucian tradition is now accompanied by the strong feeling among many East Asian leaders that their family-centered societies are inherently better than those of the West. Reid, moreover, foresees the dawn of the "Confucian Century" in which Confucian nations will effectively challenge their Western counterparts.
Reid joined the national news staff of The Washington Post in 1977, covering politics, Congress, and three presidential elections. Before assuming the head of the paper's Far East bureau in 1990, Reid had been the Post's Rocky Mountain bureau chief, based in Denver. He also writes a personal computer column- The Reid-Hume Report -with ABC News correspondent Brit Hume; the syndicated column appears weekly in more than 60 newspapers throughout the country.
Since graduating from Princeton University in classics, Reid has had an eclectic career. He has taught Latin and Greek, served as a naval officer, been a university professor in southern Japan, and worked as an attorney after earning his law degree. Reid is the author of three books in English and two in Japanese. Most recently, he collaborated with his wife, Margaret M. McMahon, to produce Ski Japan! The Guide to Japan's World Class Ski Resorts (1994).

The Rendezvous Double Elevated Dog Bowl adds a pop of shiny bright color to your home, while offering health benefits to your dog and making your life a little easier. Why go with a boring dog bowl when you can get something colorful that compliments your personality, your dog's personality and your home?
Double raised dog dishes reduce the amount of stress on your dog's body by making it easier for them to reach their food and water all in one location. Raised dishes are great for all dogs, especially older or injured pets that are already coping with pain or arthritis. Eating out of an elevated bowl will also lessen the amount of air your dog gulps in while eating, creating a less gassy dog. That's good for everyone!
The Rendezvous double elevated dog dish frame is made out of tube-style wrought iron. The legs have non-skid plastic tips to prevent it from slipping and sliding across your floor. The material on top is wood, complete with silver-colored bowls. The top wood color is available in black, light pink and bright green.
The double elevated dog bowl from Rendezvous will also make your life just a little big easier. The bowls are secure in the frame, reducing the chances of your kids or dogs dipping them over and spilling everywhere. The bowls are also, of course, just a little higher up making refills easier by inches.
- tube-style wrought iron frame
- non-skid plastic tips on legs
- wooden top layer
- silver-colored bowls
Size Details:
Small – 1qt bowls - 17" x 8.5" x 5.5" - 5lbs
Large – 3 qt bowls - 23" x 12" x 10" - 9lbs
Available Color Options:
• Green Top/Black Frame
• Black Top/Silver Frame
• Pink Top/White Frame*

A portion of the proceeds from the Pink Rendezvous Double Elevated Dog Bowls will go to the National Breast Cancer Foundation.

|Introduction | Sony SLT-A57 Preview | Sony SLT-A57 Sensor performance
The results achieved by the Sony SLT-A57 are very close to those obtained by the other SLT reflexes endowed with the same sensor. This Exmor CMOS sensor once again distinguishes itself on this camera with excellent image quality, a very comfortable dynamic range score of 13EV, and a very honorable low-light ISO score of 785, which allows the Sony SLT-A57 to be used at high sensitivities without a second thought. Even though it has the same sensor as its predecessor, the SLT-A55, the SLT-A57 pushes the maximum sensitivity from 12,800 to 16,000 ISO.
Ranked only 28th among all tested cameras, the Sony SLT-A57 could have done better — at least, its 16Mpix APS-C CMOS sensor is better than the measurements suggest. It so happens that the translucent mirror technology that Sony uses in its SLRs diverts a portion of the light that is captured by the sensor in other, more conventional cameras (see our explanation of the SLT system in our analysis of the SLT-A77). As with other Sony cameras that use its "Translucent Technology," the SLT-A57 loses a demi-diaphragm when compared to, for example, the Nikon D7000 or a compact hybrid whose sensor captures all of the light. Depending on their habits and priorities, photographers may need to take into account this loss of sensitivity. If they are most concerned about image quality at high sensitivities, they should note that SLT-A57 is surpassed by the NEX-C3 (since replaced by the NEX-F3) and the NEX-5N (to stay in the Sony family).
With respect to its siblings equipped with the same sensor, the SLT-A57's sensitivity range amplitude is very respectable:
Sony outclasses the competition with its latest Exmor sensors — the 16Mpix CMOS APS-C used in the SLT-A57, the 24Mpix sensor used in the NEX-7 and the SLT-A77, and the specially-designed 36Mpix Full-Frame sensor used in the Nikon D800 — all of which are based on the same technology, with widely-recognized success: at 95 points, the D800's sensor holds the record to beat for best DxOMark score. This all said, the SLT-A57's CMOS sensor that came out this spring didn't bring with it any improvements: in fact, it is exactly the same sensor that came out two years ago. We were rather expecting the arrival of a 16Mpix APS-C Exmor "Mark II" sensor for cameras belonging to the 2012-2014 generation.
This advanced amateur SLR, currently a top choice among photographers, competes against the Canon EOS 600D, which also reuses a sensor — the even older 18Mpix APS-C CMOS sensor first used in the EOS 7D nearly four years ago. We've seen this very same sensor in reviews of the latest Canon cameras, whether the Powershot G1 X compact, the Canon EOS 600D, or the Canon EOS 5D Mark III, and the bottom line is that Canon's sensor technology has hardly made any progress at all. The comparative measurements of the Sony SLT-A57 vs Canon EOS 600D and Powershot G1 X cannot be refuted— Sony sensor technology clearly exceeds the performance of Canon cameras for all criteria measured:
As shown in the dynamic range / sensitivity curves for the three sensors, the dynamic range of the Canon cameras stagnates below 400 ISO. By contrast, the Sony continues to progress until it reaches 13.02EV at 100 ISO (whereas the EOS 600D plateaus at 11.46EV at 100 ISO).
Despite the lack of evolution in the Sony 16 Mpix sensor, the SLT-A57 shines compared to its Canon competitors, with performance levels a clear notch above. Although its performance is slightly below that of the NEX hybrids and other conventional SLRs, the cost of the A57's SLT technology (a demi-diaphragm) is the price one must pay to benefit from its burst shooting rate of up to12 i/s, its phase-detection video autofocus, and its EVF WYSIWYG viewfinder — of particular interest to those left cold by traditional SLR optical viewfinders.
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
We've put the Sony SLT-A57, a digital SLR with electronic viewfinder that incorporates a well-known 16Mpix CMOS ASP-C sensor, through its paces at DxOMark. What progress can we expect? How does it compare with its competitors, both reflex and hybrids? Here are our results.

Comparison with Nikon D5100
When I compare Nikon D5100 here with A57, is the Nikon much better. But in comparison on dpreview.com is better A57. Much better in DR and even a little better in ISO performance. Samples from dpreview by ISO 6400 A 67 are nice. What to hell is true now? I decide btw. this two cameras. Which one should i buy?

Sony A57 Vs. A580
I was waiting for the score of A57 for so long ))),
as I expected A580 is best APS-C Sony camera.
What Sony is producing ?!
A35,A65,A77,now A57.
The question is _ why we all didn`t see any progress after A580 ???

Re: Sony A57 Vs. A580
Why are you surprised? A57 should score 1/2 stop lower than A580 due to SLT mirror taking some of the light. This has been known since 2010.
For this 1/2 stop lower score, SLT offers a lot of other advantages (higher frame rates with AF, AF in video, EVF, lower shutter lag, no mirror blur, etc). I will take all these advantages for 1/2 stop lower score, which isn't even visible untill very high ISO.

Re: Sony A57 Vs. A580
A57 have the same iso mark as A55,
I have A55&A33, they both are liile noisy even at iso 100,
and have to say it is not good, everything alse is great in these cameras.

flash delay is with native Sony flashes, as Sony is trying to produce everything. Try Metz flashes, I have Metz 50 Af-1 & have no problem from the day one, besides it is much cheaper.
Now I`m thinking about upgrading my little A33 to A57, according tests A65 & A77 are much noisy .

I would have liked an OLED viewfinder more than a bigger and heavier body. At least the flash delay has been reduced.

regardless of name anything is better then getting called Char sorry New Orleans Hornets... and with that im out...
Drew Brees posted "Another option for the hoop team, New Orleans Brass" Is he just considering this name, or is he saying they are also highly considering changing it to that name instead of the Pelicans now? mmmm
My Anthony Davis website: http://thebrow.uphero.com/
I think Drew is just trolling for Twitter hits and retweets. I doubt he has any inside knowledge whatsoever.
These are all franchises without a tangible entity for a mascot. For them particularly, the only way to possibly brand themselves and create an identity is through using their name.
Primary logo? Check. Displays color scheme? Check. Displays the team name? Check.

I honestly like the Pelicans name. Since you guys are worried about what people think lets name the team The New Orleans Swag! Yeah. No
R.I.P. to HunnyB/FlyGirl
The New Orleans Based Boys...... ThankYouBasedGod!!!
True Love
After last night, I'm starting to grow more comfortable with Pelicans. While I don't believe it is the best name, I think it will become more liked with time. Think if Denver had a different name and came out to rebrand as the Nuggets. People would laugh and hate it. I think we'll be fine.
Formally known as WhoDatMan504
ok for you nationals the rebrand would be good (i read a lot of things why you want this). but for us "world" fans it would be a sad day. i was a hornet fan since the days in charlotte, not a fan from the town charlotte but from the coulors the team and HUGO .
later, after the move to new orleans i said to me it doesnt matter in witch town they play, still a hornet. my interessts now on the team growes the last 3 years and i could identify me with new orleans as city too. i read mutch about NO and i liked it, it will be one of my first visiting points if i could travel so far sometimes. i stay as a fan from NOLA doesnt matter witch name comes but for me it would be strange to see hornets back in charlotte, maybe like to see a ex girlfriend you loved so mutch but you now you have a better girl on your site now.

SGR Repeal Update
(April 16, 2015) - The Senate followed the House in overwhelmingly passing comprehensive legislation and repealed the SGR formula. Physicians will transition to a new value-based system. This comes after an overwhelming show of support in the House, where both Republicans and Democrats voted in favor of the bill. The President signed the bill, which averted a 21 percent physician payment cut from taking effect.

The little train that could ……………………………
the welding is coming along good. I just have to come off the pedal slower near the end of my weld bead, I also have to move the torch a bit instead of holding it still while I come off the pedal. I'm getting the famous pin hole thingy majig at the end of my weld bead. practice, practice, practice. It's expensive to practice on aluminum. I've ran out of scraps. I'll go down tomorrow and see if I can get any more scraps. I doubt it tho. I might have to dip into my stock. I think I'll get some flat bar instead of using my expensive 1 1/2" square, round cornered tubing. It seems to never end. I'm always needing something. when, not if, i become a millionare lol the things I need will just be a bit bigger and a little more expensive. like CNC machines etc. I traded my hacksaw in for a miter saw lmao. now alls I have to do is trade my oxy/acetylene setup in for a plasma. 2 years later and things are finally coming together. I feel like Im building a spaceship in a doghouse. lol. my shed/shop is small, but it's mine and everything is paid for. thats the way I like it. I always pay for what I have or I save up for it or do the layaway plan. I never credit large priced things to my accounts. no money, no product! thats why its taken me so long to get set up. not to mention each step takes time due to ordering/shipping etc.(thats what happens when you live in the middle of nowhere) tomorrow I'll try it without the pulse. last time I tried it I blew through it like it was butter. I guess its like driving a car. you wouldn't keep the gas pedal pinned to the floor or you would crash. well same thing. plus I had my balance up. I know what I'm doing wrong so its only a matter of time. tomorrow I'll try the settings that you suggested and with a little practice I'll get it. I'm a very fast learner. the pulse feature sure gives me a beautiful bead tho. I won't give up untill I can do it with and without pulse. it'll help me get a better understanding. thanks for the advise signwave. I think I can, I think I can, I think I can. I just have to be smarter than the metal. lol

My thought is that you would probably get a better response if you were to post this to the main forum instead of the events forum.

If you do Rally or Agility you will learn to teach the dog to be dual sided. I don't use the EC for basic obedience at all. I normally will take the dogs and do drills with them on just heeling several times a week. I don't believe in shocking a dog that will not heel to the line. If you can't do it then I would recommend you hire a young kid to teach the dog to heel. I know several people in the retriever community who love to run hunt tests but I do use the EC for long distance blinds. Of course my view is different from every one on the forum since I am a disabled veteran. I know there are others on the forum who are disabled veterans? I always take my puppies to obedience class. All of my dogs went before they went to a pro hunt trainer. I have put CGC's on all of my dogs. Rally is a great place to start with a small pup. You can do agility but no jumping because it can cause damage to the dogs bones at a young age. Janice Gunn has some good video's I would recommend you purchase. I do have two dogs from pure field lines. Let's just say I took my old dogs and retrained them.

Reviews for Heavenly Chocolate Mousse
Sort By :
"Very good and chocolatey! My husband loved it. It made 4 small servings. I need to double it next time."
"This is a wonderful recipe, we are going to do it again this weekend."
"I loved this recipe. It was wonderful!"
"This was the best mousse I ever tasted! It was really easy to follow and everyone at my party loved it! it was really dark (like heavenly chocolate is supposed to be) so I added whipped cream on top right before serving it (so the cram wouldn't go flat). The first time i made this recipe I refrigerated it for only 4 hrs which was not even close to enough time! overnight is good, but if your making a really big batch and putting it in one huge bowl, i suggest refrigerating it for 2 days (that's what i did)!"
"This is my absolute favorite recipe for chocolate mousse - not too sweet, very chocolate-y, delicious!"

(NewsUSA) - Having children vaccinated according to a doctor-recommended schedule can help protect them from a number of serious diseases. However, a recent Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) study revealed that approximately 74 percent of children are delayed in receiving one or more vaccinations during the first two years of life. Delaying a baby's vaccines could put him or her at risk of getting a vaccine-preventable disease.
A new guide written by Heidi Murkoff, president and co-founder of the What to Expect Foundation, and author of the best-selling "What to Expect" pregnancy and parenting book series, could help keep parents on schedule. The guide gives parents useful information about their child's vaccinations, including information about which vaccines experts recommend and what parents can do to help protect their kids from vaccine-preventable diseases. It also includes a vaccine chart and planner to help parents and pediatricians work together to help keep track of the shots that children receive.
This new publication, "The What to Expect Guide to Immunizations: What You Need to Know About Your Child's Vaccinations," is now available free to parents and parents-to-be online at www.whattoexpect.org and in select pediatricians' offices. Here's a look at some useful information you'll find in the guide.
There are things parents can do to help children feel less pain with every prick:
- Hold your baby when they receive a shot; studies show this helps babies cry less.
- Breastfeeding before or during the shot may lessen the pain babies feel.
- A little dab of sugar water on your baby's pacifier or tongue, given right before the shot, can minimize the ouch factor.
- Ask your doctor about pretreating the area with a prescription anesthetic cream before the shot.
The guide also suggests that parents ask their pediatrician about combination vaccines, single shots that include vaccines against two or more diseases. Today, more and more new combination vaccines are available. Children can receive one or more of these to reduce the number of shots needed. With combination vaccines, it may be easier to ensure your child gets all the vaccinations they need without delays, making it more likely that the vaccination schedule will be finished on time.
"There's great news when it comes to the number of shots your child will be getting," explains Murkoff. "The combo vaccines that combine immunizations against two or more diseases at the same time -- in one shot -- are becoming more common. They're just as safe and effective as individual shots. Which means your child will get fewer shots -- with the same protection. How's that for win-win?"
This new guide explains everything that parents need to know about vaccine-preventable diseases and the vaccines that are recommended by the CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Academy of Family Physicians. GlaxoSmithKline provided funding and other support to The What to Expect Foundation for the development of "The What to Expect Guide to Immunizations: What You Need to Know About Your Child's Vaccinations."
For more information, visit www.whattoexpect.org or talk with your pediatrician.
