READ IT: Arizona-born artist Ted DeGrazia's paintings pulse with bold brush strokes and bright blocks of vibrant color. His faceless figures of Native American children and rough-textured landscapes immerse viewers in the Southwest and its culture. But the man behind these paintings remained a mystery to many well past 1982, when he died of cancer. In DeGrazia: The Man and the Myths ($29.95, University of Arizona Press), authors James W. Johnson and Marilyn D. Johnson attempt to construct a comprehensive picture of DeGrazia from mere puzzle pieces – stories in newspapers, magazines, books, a handful of personal papers, and a dozen interviews with peripheral people from DeGrazia's past. The result is an entertaining profile of a mischievous man who built a wall of privacy around himself while struggling for approval and widespread recognition of his work.

Bok legend Naas Botha, writing for SA Rugby magazine, believes if a South African team does not win the Super 14 in the next two years, World Cup success is unlikely to follow.
Watching the All Blacks parade around the British Isles during the end-of-year tour, written up as God's gift to rugby, got me thinking. In a year in which we narrowly beat them in Cape Town and came marginally short in Dunedin, why has it concluded with the Kiwis seemingly that step higher up the ladder. There is a vibe about the All Blacks that Jake White's Springboks, for all their achievements, have yet to match. An aura if you will, and I believe it is a direct result of respective winning and losing cultures. Let's forget about sentiment and examine the facts. In 10 years, we failed to win the Super 12. Each year, four out of the 12 teams were ours and thus through the most basic arithmetic we had a 1 in 3 chance every year. So much for that. We have won the Tri-Nations twice, once because of bonus points. We had two attempts at the Grand Slam, in 1998 and 2004, and both weren't great tours. We lost to the British Lions at home. OK enough, but I hope my point is clear. Despite White's recent successes, South African rugby teams are still plagued by the losing culture that has dominated the last decade, and is reinforced every year in the Super 12. 2006 brings the dawn of the Super 14, and if our dismal fortunes continue, I believe we have no chance of winning the World Cup in 2007. What has disturbed me more than anything is on occasion this year I watched Super 12 sides lose and not seem to care. There have been some horrific capitulations, and the scars of defeats such as these do not just disappear. South African rugby players associate aeroplanes and ocean with defeat. The minute they look out their plane window and see blue sea, inhibition seems to overwhelm all the positive traits displayed in so many home games. New Zealand sides do not suffer from such a hindrance, and as such a team that we beat once and lost to narrowly in their own fortress appears unbeatable. It's confidence, bred from a decade of Super 12 and Tri-Nations gluttony. There is constant backbiting between the regions and our national side, but no matter what is said between the parties privately and publicly the real damage is being done on the pitch. If you embark on a tour with your regional side, and in your head are satisfied if one or two of your four games are won, of course that mentality is going to be carried over when you're picked for the Boks. The challenge before the regions, who have all begun preparations for next year's Super 14, is to create winning cultures. It's that simple. Bugger the branding and focus on winning because our players are too used to losing. If we do not win the Super 14 in the next two years, I would wager very heavily that World Cup triumph is unlikely to follow.

JRuby is an alternate implementation of the Ruby programming language. It is also an embedded language for the Java Virtual machine (JVM). On both of these fronts, we have a set of limitations that a user should be aware of.
When we outline each limitation, we will note whether we think that the limitation is likely to go away and JRuby matures. In some cases, we cannot implement features because the underlying JVM does not allow it. In other cases, it is simply not implemented yet.
Ruby conformance Limitations
This section reflects known incompatibilities between Ruby and JRuby. It is by no means comprehensive. It just reflects larger issues we are aware of. The fact that Ruby does not have a language specification also makes having an exact delta between the two implementations impossible.
- Does not support continuations/bindings.
- These features are simply missing. There is nothing which prevents them from existing short of programmer effort.
- Fine-grained timer.
- Benchmarking code depends on finer grained timings than the JVM supports. This may be solved in a future JVM as there is a JSR on this (which JSR?).
- Identical thread behavior
- Ruby uses green threads to implement the languages threading library. JRuby uses Java threads to implement Thread and friends. Without actually implementing green threads ourselves, we will not have identical thread behavior. Hopefully, any sane multi-threaded ruby script will work ok in spite of this.
- Missing Posix methods
- The JVM is missing some Posix operations needed by File, Process, etc.. in Ruby. We are now starting to use JNA (yes JNA and not JNI) to add as many of these as JNA can support. For JRuby 1.1 many common ones will be available (e.g. getpid, getgid, getxxx).
- Ruby C extensions
- Any Ruby library which contains C extensions are not supported by JRuby. For the more popular packages we have ported them to be Java extensions. Others can always be ported as well. There are some exotic ideas in how we could possibly support C native extensions, but no one is past the napkin stage on actually implementing it. Rubinius work may provide us with an evenue to supporting them. Until that time consider porting an extension or possibly using a similiar Java technology to do the same thing.

For the jsr on fine grained timing, maybe you want:
(which is the jsr for enhanced profiling tools).

Northern Conference Continues with June Sprints
What are we looking for this weekend at Road America? Here are just a few of the highlights:
Sprinting Through The Weekend: The June Sprints have a long tradition in SCCA lore, but this year the event format gets a tweak. In addition to the eight 13-lap group races that start on Saturday afternoon and continue Sunday morning, the first four groups will get an additional 12-lap race. That means fans and competitors can see Spec Miata, C Sports Racing, D Sports Racing, Sports 2000, Formula 1000, GT-1, GT-2, GT-3, Touring 1 and Spec Racer Ford race on both Saturday and Sunday.
All the races this weekend will count for full points in their respective classes.
Local Flavor, And We Don't Mean The Brats: There is a lot of local flavor this weekend, but five drivers list a residence that is essentially within walking distance of the race track this weekend. Three drivers – Michael Froh in F Production, Nicolas Hammann in Super Touring Lite, and Bart Wolf in Sports 2000 – list the town of Elkhart Lake, just feet to the North of the track, as home. Two more – Michael Mueller in Formula 500 and Jeffrey Bartz in Formula F – call Plymouth home, just to the south of Road America.
None of those drivers can top the 40 appearances that Froh can claim. The local racer has missed just a scant few appearances at the event since he started racing in 1972.
In all, 69 of the 358 drivers on the entry list call the Badger State home.
Green Flags: This weekend's event is the halfway point of the Northern Conference Majors Tour point championship… Dudley Fleck leads C Sports Racing by just two points over Brian French, and four points over James French. All three are on the entry list for their doubleheader this weekend… Joe Moser has scored three wins in four tries in E Production. A win this weekend would extend his lead… Sedat Yelkin trails Jacek Mucha in Formula Atlantic, but Mucha is only currently entered in C Sports Racing this weekend. Yelkin could make up his gap, and take the lead, with a successful run… Scott Rettich is four for four so far this year in the Northern Conference in both Formula Enterprises and Spec Racer Ford. He's on the entry list for both this weekend, with a chance at three more victories… Three podium finishes, including a win, have Russell Ruedisueli atop the Formula F point standings… Stephen Jenks and Jason Vinkemulder have split the season in Formula Mazda, and currently share the lead at the top of the point standings. They'll break that tie this weekend, one way or another… Trent Hindman beat Steven Jenkins in both races at Mid-Ohio to take a slim lead in GT-2. Joined by eight others, they'll resume their rivalry in two races this weekend… Mike Cyphert has swept the opening four races in GT-3… David Doran has a win and a runner-up this season in Sports 2000 to hold the point lead in that class… The Northern Conference leader in a deep Spec Miata class is David Bednarz, with two wins and all four top five finishes. Bednarz is seven points up on Michael Novak, who has three runner-up finishes but no wins. With 50 Spec Miatas on the entry list for two races this weekend, the entire standings could be flipped upside down.
Family Fun: Road America is open to the public for this weekend's WeatherTech June Sprints. Tickets are available at the gate, with information on www.RoadAmerica.com, and includes access to the grandstands and paddock to get up close and personal with the race cars. Children 12 and under are free.

The decision to rest the Springboks from the Currie Cup was rubber-stamped by the players themselves months ago.
When Bok coach Jake White announced the decision to pull the top Boks from the next two Currie Cup competitions, it was greeted with a certain amount of scepticism by media and public alike. One of the ramifications of that decision is those players who miss out on the domestic scene are likely to lose a substantial amount of money.
SA Rugby Players' Association boss Piet Heymans told keo.co.za that the players were consulted throughout the process which started in July last year.
"It is up to the individual to decide whether he wants to risk losing that income for a shot at representing the Springboks at the World Cup in France," Heymans said. "The rewards though are substantially higher. It is a calculated risk, but we know that if we are to win the World Cup our players need rest."
This year has already seen an extra two Super 14 matches, while the Tri-Nations has also expanded by two more matches per team. The Tri-Nations ends on September 9 and the opening Test of the end-of-year tour is against Ireland on November 11. Ultimately the Boks will only miss Currie Cup matches in September and October – eight weeks' rest from matches.
"England will have a massive 19 weeks off ahead of the World Cup, which is exactly what we need, but our problem is the players in this country are not centrally contracted," explained Heymans.
In Australia, New Zealand and England, the national body controls the contracts of their senior players, while in SA, Springboks are contracted to their union, with an additional contract with SA Rugby. It makes the issue of taking players out of local competition that much more difficult.
"We certainly need central contracts, but a lot of time and effort will be required before that is sorted out. I'm confident though that we will achieve that objective. Sarpa's relationship with SA Rugby is much better, so we are working towards a common goal now."

Meg Farris / Eyewitness News

At his wedding, a former NFL player announced his new foundation to fight cancer. A month later, his wife lost her battle with cancer.
This Monday, doctors and scientists move into the new Cancer Research Center on Tulane Avenue, and that former football player says this is as big as the Super Bowl.
Chris Draft left the world of tackling on the gridiron to tackling a killer - lung cancer.
'With lung cancer, right now the big thing is called targeted therapies and you hear that and you say, 'Oh well, it's targeted therapies.' ' said Draft, who also is an ambassador for the NFL and does radio andTV in Atlanta. 'But it's targeted therapies and that's a pill that you can take, a pill that potentially your hair doesn't fall out. Now we're saying you got to shout that. You've got to get up on the mountain top. You've got to scream about it.'
Chris knows first-hand the pain and loss of cancer.
'If my wife lived another six months, then she would have got to her birthday. Her birthday was May 13 and last year, May 13 was Mother's Day. So, six months would have meant instead of me and her mom going to church together and going outside (to her grave) to see her, well she would have been right there with us,' Draft said, tears filling his eyes.
Keasha Draft never smoked. She wanted Draft to be the mouthpiece for doctors' research. So he made the new Louisiana Cancer Research Center and LSU Health Sciences Center's Stanley S. Scott Cancer Center priority Super Bowl stops. He wants people in this area to know that major cancer research will be going on in this new building, and that all of us can sign up to be in trials with the latest cancer treatments. These local cancer survivors have joined in the studies.
'It was amazing - very amazing - for someone to come out and touch me like he did. It's wonderful and I enjoyed every bit,' said 49-year-old New Orleanian Johnnie Brumfield.
He started smoking at 18. Now when he sees people smoking, he lifts up his shirt and shows his scars from having a lung removed. Draft gave him tickets to a Saints-Panthers game earlier.
'It gives me a lot of hope with the cancer and all. The tumors are not growing. Some of them are actually shrinking,' said Madeline Borrouso of Metairie who has lung cancer even though she never smoked. It was found in a doctor visit after she had a stroke.
If you have any kind of cancer and want to be part of the clinical trials program call 504-568-2428.
Chris Draft Family Foundation
Stats on Chris Draft in the NFL
Background on Team Draft and Scott Cancer Center:
After a 12-year career in the NFL where he played linebacker for the Chicago Bears, San Francisco 49ers, Atlanta Falcons, Carolina Panthers, St. Louis Rams, Buffalo Bills, and Washington Redskins, Chris Draft, President, and CEO of the Chris Draft Family Foundation, founded a very different team. Team Draft was created by Chris and his wife Keasha during Keasha's year-long struggle with stage IV lung cancer which claimed her life in late 2011.
As a former Charlotte Hornets Honeybee dancer and member of Clemson University's Rally Cat dance squad, Keasha was an energetic vibrant young woman who had never smoked when she was diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer in December 2010. At the time, her only symptom was a slight shortness of breath. Despite the diagnosis and knowing the long odds they faced, Keasha and Chris decided to fight back. On November 27, 2011, standing side-by-side, they launched Team Draft at their wedding. One month later, Keasha lost her courageous fight and died at the age of 38.
According to the Chris Draft Family Foundation, Team Draft is dedicated to raising lung cancer awareness and increasing badly needed research funding by shattering the misconception that lung cancer is a 'smoker's disease.' The fact is anybody can get lung cancer. Yet, despite the fact that thousands of people who have never smoked including Keasha are diagnosed with lung cancer in the United States each year, Team Draft says the smoking stigma negatively impacts lung cancer research funding, which pales in comparison to funding for other major cancers and diseases. Team Draft is out to change all that by using the unique platform available to Draft as a former NFL player and nationally recognized community leader and health advocate to lead a national campaign to change the face of lung cancer a campaign that has, to date, taken Team Draft to more than 50 of the top cancer treatment and research centers in North America.
The research that led the EPA to designate second-hand smoke as a Class A carcinogen was conducted by Dr. Elizabeth 'Terry' Fontham right here at LSU Health Sciences Center New Orleans. Now Dean of the LSUHSC School of Public Health and Associate Director of the LSUHSC Stanley S. Scott Cancer Center, Dr. Fontham conducted a landmark study of women who had never smoked yet died of lung cancer through second-hand exposure to cigarette smoke.

|Vitamix Blender...and More
Vital Kitchen Appliance
In 1937, W.G Barnard was a salesman of "modern" home products and introduced an all–new product—the blender—to his line. This blender was the very first Vitamix machine. With this introduction, the first of its kind, W.G Barnard revolutionized an industry.
When television made its debut in 1949, his son booked a 30–minute time slot in Cleveland and created the first–ever direct response commercial, which ran for several years in many markets and made the blender a household word
The business has stayed in the Barnard family for over 70 years. In 1964, the company name was officially changed to Vitamix Corporation. The Vitamix revolutionized what could be done in a blender. Its large motor and friction cooking capability enabled these amazing machines to freeze, create ice cream, grind grain, cook soup and pulverize whole fruits and vegetables, and more.
In 2007, the new Vitamix 5200 was introduced. This is a machine that "papa Barnard could only have dreamed of, and everything that his son bill Barnard wanted it to be". Today's versatile Vitamix 5200 is capable of doing the work of 10 different kitchen appliances and over 50 different kitchen processes—without any attachments. The Vitamix 5200 is considered by many to be the best blender on the market.
Today, the Vitamix corporation continues to grow. Every Vitamix product, both commercial and household, is American made, built at the world headquarters in Cleveland, Ohio. Vitamix is still family–owned and operated, focused on the importance of quality and customer service. It remains a family company, with Jodi (Barnard) President, and John Barnard Executive Chairman and COO. The Vitamix mission continues: "To be the best blending equipment company in the world."
We will be sharing our Vitamix recipes, tips and thoughts in the coming weeks and months. It is certainly not the poster child for sleek or stunning kitchen appliances, but does simply beautiful work! If you watch the cooking shows, including one of our favorite cooking gurus, Martha Stewart, note how the Vitamix takes center stage. It is an amazing kitchen workhorse – powerful, dependable, versatile, sturdy – -and so easy to use! Not only is the Vitamix capable of speeds up to 240 mph, but it does slow speed–blending as well. This slow speed and variable speed control is unique among blenders and allows for the ability to accomplish multiple tasks including: chopping. crushing ice, making frozen desserts, grinding, kneading dough, blending smoothies, creating nut butters, mincing vegetables, making hot soup and so much more. Yes, it is an investment (the model #5200 Standard, costs about $450) but comes with a seven-year warranty and loads of support.)
So let's begin…
What can you do with the Vitamix in the kitchen, specifically the kosher kitchen? We are keeping the recipes parve and Passover friendly, since we are suggesting that Passover is a perfect time to 'inaugurate' new kitchen accessories. We currently have only one container and blade, however, it is already quite evident to us that we will soon need a second set as well…one for dairy, and one for meat. And, perhaps next year, a new set for Passover.

Men's Basketball Season Comes to a Close as Coker Clinches Final Playoff Spot with 88-74 Road Win over Falcons
February 24, 2012
MISENHEIMER, N.C. A reverse dunk by Sharod Williams (Miami, FL) with 1:32 remaining would help seal the deal as Coker College went on to claim an 88-74 victory over Pfeiffer University in Conference Carolinas mens basketball action on Friday night. The win gives the Cobras the east divisions fourth and final playoff spot moving to 14-12, 8-8 on the season while the Falcons season comes to a close at 12-14, 6-10.
Both teams traded six lead changes in the first half with Williams hitting a baseline jumper at the buzzer to send the teams into the locker room all tied up 36-36. Before that, Pfeiffer saw its largest lead in the first 20 minutes come at the halfway point as a Reggie Hollinger (Orlando, FL) three-point play put the Falcons up 15-11.
Just three and a half minutes later, the Cobras would turn that into their own four point lead on a layup by Williams. Coker went up six moments later until a Josh Humphrey (Matthews, NC) layup and pair of Danny Smith (Baltimore, MD) free throws got the hosts to within striking distance.
In the second half, Coker came roaring out to an 11-point, 49-38 lead thanks to a pair of Andrew Morris (Melbourne, AUSTRALIA) triples in the first 3:41. Smith would help slice the deficit down to three with 12:09 to go on his fast-break jumper, but the Cobras would again respond with a 9-2 spurt using six points from Charles West (Ellenwood, GA) over the next 85 seconds.
Again, getting the Coker lead down to four on two more Hollinger shots from the charity stripe, the Cobras would once again knock down crucial shots leading up to Williams game-changing dunk.
The Cobras shot 52% in the win backed by Williams 23 points on 9-of-13 shooting to go along with his 15 rebounds. Julian Nelson (Irmo, SC) followed closely with 22. Pfeiffer, led by Smiths 23, shot just 37% in the season ending loss.

- Feel free to suggest poll ideas if you're feeling creative. I'd strongly suggest reading the past polls first.
- This whole thing is wildly inaccurate. Rounding errors, ballot stuffers, dynamic IPs, firewalls. If you're using these numbers to do anything important, you're insane.

Java is *not* prone to memory leaks. You have to actually make quite an effort to leak memory in a Java application. Of course, making those kind of mistakes is one of the first things n00bs seem to learn.

I suspect the GP is being fairly loose with the term "memory leak" using it to mean applications whose memory usage goes up over time even though what the user is doing with the app isn't changing much.
One problem is people think a garbage collector stops them having to worry about memory. That is true to an extent but programmers still have to be careful to avoid situations where an object is highly unlikely to be (or possiblly even can't be) used again but nevertheless there is a reference sitting arround to it somewhere.
Another is that use of background garbage collection can create very undesirable behaviour under a multitasking OS and especially under a multitasking OS with swap and from the outside this behaviour looks very much like a "leak". AIUI If something stops the (low priority) gc thread from running then the application will continue to eat up memory until it hits a hard limit on the memory available (at which point non-background gc will be forced). Meanwhile the OS has no idea that the app doesn't really need this memory and so will do whatever is needed to make it available. Afaict this misbehaviour is why java runs with a relatively low hard memory limit by default (which papers over the problem to some extent but is far from an ideal soloution).

Customer Reviews for On Sale Dining Room Brown Top Seller Single Cell Semi-Opaque Cellular / Honeycomb Window Shades
"Oh, honey!"
By ralph from portland, me
I replaced a famous brand that sagged and looked pregnant. These are beautiful - sleek and modern. Friends admired them and bought some for themselves. A woman recently said "Oh, honey! We should get these for our place!" to her husband. I am about to measure 11 more windows for another apartment because these are perfect.View this product
"Exactly what I wanted"
By Arnie from Mt. Airy, MD
The price was less than anywhere else online. I only glanced at the box store pricing, but it seemed higher as well. I got the cordless top down bottom up because of the cats, and I didn't have high expectations for the "feel" of the operation of the blinds. I was very surprised that it feels tight and smooth and high quality. You can adjust them with two fingers and they stay where you put them. It's hard to describe, but it just feels "right." I recommend.View this product

Classroom Maps
This is our "homeroom" home page for every possible type of classroom map you might need. You can access our classroom maps by grade level or by map type at the left. Our plan is to offer you a wide array of maps for your class, and help you pick just the right map for your classroom or curriculum. . Just click on the grade-level map and you'll see our wide assortment of maps for your classroom.
|Elementary Classrooms
|Middle School Classrooms
|High School Classrooms
|Digital Interactive Maps
|US and World History
You can also choose a Classroom Wallmap by area of coverage (like World or a country or just a state)
And if all else fails, just call us at 800-532-6675. We're there to assist you from 8a ~6p Eastern time.
Meanwhile, here's everything you'll ever want to know about classroom maps:
If you're replacing some of the high-priced Nystrom maps, you'll find the Nystom item number next to the map for comparison purposes.A further complication comes from the combination maps we offer. It seems endless but you can have US / World maps, Physical / Political maps, combination maps, (either stacked maps one map above the other on a long sheet or 2 sheet maps on one spring roller). My advise would be to figure out the kind of map you want first and then go to the combo map link in the bar at the left. We also carry the full line of Klett-Perthes Maps. They are made in Germany with the quality and accuracy you'd expect from a German company, yet they are all in English.
We have been making and sellling maps for schools for well over 10 years now. As you can see from the buttons on the left, we have a dizzying array of maps to offer almost any educator. From the college professor to the elementary home-school teacher. We have a map for you. Our spring rollers are definitely classroom grade and designed to last for years of punishing use.
But you may not know we offer some things our competitors don't touch.
First and foremost, we are mapmakers, not just map sellers. That means you can get us to create a custom map that will address the unique needs of your curriculum and assuming you need 3 or more of the same map, get them for the same price as an off-the-shelf classroom map. Second is our customer service. Sure, you can order on-line. There are add-to-cart buttons all over this site. But if you have a queston about a school map and need help, just call us at 800-532-6675 and a person will answer, not a machine.
Third and finally is our pricing. The maps we offer are comparable or superior to what you'll find from traditional classroom map vendors. But we challenge you to compare prices before you buy. We can certainly save your district or PTA a lot of money.
You know you don't have to buy a "classroom" map. Here's a little more about the difference between the "business" maps we sell and "classroom" maps.. What's the difference between a school map and a business map? It took me a couple years to discern the sometimes, subtle difference. But's here's a list based on my experience:
1. It's almost always big. You can't see a 3 by 2ft map in the back of a class. Although there's an exception for early elemtary that often uses placemat size maps because the instruction is much more personal
2. The text / type on the map is always larger. This gets back to point #1. You have to be able to see the map
3. The colors should never be subtle or a light pastel. They have to grab the student's attention
4. They are usually on a spring-roller which adds significantly to the cost
5. They are usually single purpose. A map that trys to cover too many concepts ends up losing them all
OK, here's another question we're often asked. My principal took away my classroom maps because I have a Smartboard. But I miss my pull down maps. What do I say to my principal? There's nothing like having a Smartboard in your classroom. And we'd advise giving up almost anything to get one, but... You've heard the old cliche about the teachable moment. And nothing can replace a wall map as a way to quickly, on the spur of the moment, point to where something you're discussing has happened.
|Do you want to really save some money on maps? Then take a good look at our digital map solution, the eMapshop. Just like regular pull-down maps, you buy it once and keep it forever. And on a per-student basis, it's much less expensive than a traditional spring roller map for the classroom; yet they still have the ease and simplicity of a spring-roller map.

Testing and Evaluation FAQ's
If you are enrolled in the CHEC Independent School, please click here for Assessment information.
How and when do I assess my child?
Families homeschooling under a Notice of Intent are required to evaluate the academic progress of their children in the odd grades beginning in the 3rd grade by using a nationally standardized test or by having an evaluation done by a qualified evaluator. Parents can administer these standardized tests on their own or have someone to do it for them.
Where do I find the test?
You can order a test from several different companies. Please click here to navigate to the list of companies who offer testing services.
What do I do with the test results?
The test or evaluation results are to be submitted to the school district that received the notice of intent or to an independent or parochial school within the state of Colorado that is willing to hold test scores. If the test or evaluation results are submitted to an independent or parochial school, the name of the school shall be provided to the school district that received the notice of intent.
The CHEC Independent School is able to hold test scores for those families who have filed a notice of intent and are looking for a place to file the tests. For a one-time fee of $25.00 we will create a file for your family and add test scores as you submit them to us. Please print and mail the Request Form, copy of test scores, and payment to CHEC Independent School, 10461 South Parker Rd., Parker, CO 80134.
Which tests can I use?
There are several options available when it comes to selecting a test. Please click here to jump to the explanation for each test.
Is the TCAP required or acceptable?
Both the homeschool law and the CHEC Independent School policy is to require a nationally standardized test. The TCAP is specific only to students in Colorado which does not fulfill this requirement.
What other option is there besides testing?
A child's academic progress may also be evaluated by a "qualified" person. "Qualified person" means an individual who is a licensed teacher, a teacher who is employed by an independent or parochial school, a licensed psychologist, or a person with a graduate degree in education. Evaluation results must show that the child is making sufficient academic progress according to the child's ability. If you are planning on doing an evaluation, please contact your chosen evaluator at the beginning of the school year to find out if they require a portfolio or record of the child's work. Click here to view a list of evaluators.
Testing FAQ answered by the Teaching Home
Iowa Test of Basic Skills (ITBS): 4-year degree required by the administrator; is timed; gives detailed report of test results; HSLDA now interprets the core total from ITBS as satisfying Colorado law for a composite score, so the extra tests to get a "composite" score from ITBS are not deemed necessary. Click here for a sample of the Performance Profile you will receive after completing the test.
Stanford Achievement Test (SAT): Available only through April 1, 2016. 4 year degree required by the administrator; is untimed; gives detailed report of test results. As of late 2012, qualified parents or relatives are allowed to administer the SAT to their own children without at least one other family being present for testing. (Please Note: this is not the SAT that high school students take for college admission. You can find information about the college admission SAT test below under High School Testing).
California Achievement Test (CAT): – No special requirements for the administrator; basic report of test results, online version available (When you see Catform, it is referring to a testing program, not a specific test). For more information on interpreting CAT results Click Here
Terra Nova Comprehensive Test of Basic Skills (CTBS) – the publisher of the CAT/5, with its 1991 norms, has released this new test that was last normed in 2005. There are no special requirements for the administrator.
NOTE: The PSAT, SAT, and ACT are college entrance exams and do not qualify as Nationally Standardized Achievement tests as required by Colorado homeschool law.
What is a Professional Evaluation?
A professional academic evaluation is given by a qualified individual (defined as a teacher licensed pursuant of CRS22-33-104.5, article 60.5, a teacher who is employed by an independent or parochial school, a licensed psychologist, or a person with a graduate degree in education). A list of qualified evaluators and testers are listed below.

Louisiana Oysters
Oysters generously topped with butter, Italian cheeses and Cajun spices—you'll love this interpretation of Acme Oyster House's famous dish.
Baby Back Ribs with Cannellini Beans
These small, meaty pork ribs are slowly cooked in a tomato-based sauce. Although paprika is not typical, it adds a pleasant depth of flavor to the rich sauce.
Rosemary Flank Steak with Balsamic Glazed Onions
Peppery, garlicky and flanked by grilled onions, this steak dish is incredibly succulent and tasty.
Grilled Corn with Chipotle Butter and Cilantro
Boiling corn leaves some of its natural sweetness behind in the water, while grilling corn intensifies its flavor. Grill the ears in the husk to steam the kernels, then peel back the husks and slather the ears with a spicy, smoky chipotle butter.
Grilled Peppers with Chimichurri Sauce
The renowned fresh, green Argentinean sauce and condiment complements grilled peppers with exceptional flavor.
Chargrilled Shucked Oysters
Turn up the grill and turn on your appetite. These chargrilled oysters have plenty of flavor to go around.

Grilled Avocado and Corn Salad with Lime Vinaigrette
The only thing we love more than how the grill gives this salad its fire-roasted flavors, is how much we love how easy the Bamix© Immersion Blender or 'magic wand ' makes preparing this dish.
Grilled Pizza with Mozzarella, Arugula and Chile Oil
Wispy leaves of young arugula are used like an herb in this recipe, sprinkled on the sizzling pizza just as it comes off the grill. Note the long, slow rise on the dough—a total of six hours—which produces a particularly light, chewy and flavorful crust.
Grilled Bruschetta with Fava Bean Puree and Pecorino
At a spring dinner party, pass these irresistible toasts with the evening's first glass of white wine. The fava bean spread is moist and sweet and a fresh spring green, with pale grated pecorino as its salty counterpoint.
Grilled Scallops with Wilted Spinach and Lemon-Caper Butter
In just a few moments on the stove, a potful of rough fresh spinach leaves wilts down into a silky bed for grilled scallops. A composed butter enlivened with capers and lemon zest creates a simple sauce as it melts on the hot greens and shellfish. Be sure to warm the dinner plates for a few minutes in a low oven to ...
Marinated Grilled Zucchini with Oregano and Dried-Tomato Vinaigrette
Zucchini is mild flavored, so it is the perfect canvas for the bold tastes of fresh oregano and dried tomatoes. Use your best extra-virgin olive oil and aged red wine vinegar for the dressing.
Grilled Honey-Glazed Creole Pork Tenderloin with Jambalaya Stuffing
Sur La Table Grilling Recipe Contest Grand-Prize Winner, Grilled Meat category winner
Grilled Country Pork Chops with Bourbon-Basted Grilled Peaches
Grilling gives peaches and other stone fruits a flavor boost, bringing their natural sugar to the fore. Use freestone peaches so that you can easily twist the halves off the pit. Baste them with butter, honey, and bourbon as they grill to give them a sheen, then serve with a juicy pork chop, brined for a full day...
Grilled Butterflied Leg of Lamb
For entertaining, almost nothing beats a butterflied leg of lamb. Its preparation is simpler than simple, and the cooking time is short. Plus, great meals can be planned around the leftovers, including a Greek-style sandwich of sliced lamb, crumbled feta, sliced cucumbers, and tomatoes, or a salad of bulgur...
Grilled Five-Spice Chicken
Popular at Vietnamese restaurants, this dish is easy to replicate at home. You can use the same marinade on chicken parts, but a whole butterflied chicken is dramatic and less trouble to maneuver on a grill. Because the marinade contains sugar, the chicken skin will char easily if placed directly over the coals or...
Honey of a Peach Grilled Game Hens
Runner-up, Sur La Table Grilling Contest, Grilled Meat category
Grilled Eggplant Cannelloni with Ricotta and Prosciutto
Lengthwise slices from a large eggplant become supple when grilled, so you can roll them around a ricotta filling as if you were making cannelloni from pasta squares. Blanketed with a homemade fresh-tomato sauce and baked until bubbly and a little crusty around the edges, the fork-tender bundles of stuffed eggplant ...
Grilled Tomatoes with Pesto
This recipe yields more pesto than you need for the tomatoes, but why make just a little? You will have enough pesto left over to sauce ¾ pound of pasta the next day, a head start on dinner for four.

Our Mission: To improve the health of our global community through innovative biomedical research with nonhuman primates.
In 1999, the Southwest National Primate Research Center (SNPRC) became the first new NCRR-funded National Primate Research Center (NPRC) in over 35 years. The SNPRC brings a number of unique strengths to the NPRC program, stemming from a long, productive history of nonhuman primate research at its host institution, the Texas Biomedical Research Institute (Texas Biomed). These unique strengths include the world's largest captive baboon population, the world's largest and best-characterized pedigreed primate population, the world's largest group of geneticists committed to research with and management of captive nonhuman primates, one of the largest nonhuman primate censuses of any NPRC, the largest chimpanzee census of any NPRC, the capacity for nonhuman primate studies in Biocontainment Level 4, and a veterinary technical staff experienced in the management and use of nonhuman primates ranging from chimpanzees to marmosets.
We provide broad services in primate research to the southwestern region of the country, and serve the entire country with specialized technologies, capabilities, and primate resources, many of which are unique to the SNPRC. We provide services and conduct technical procedures requested by outside investigators participating in collaborative projects.
Baboons, SPF Indian-origin rhesus macaques, and marmosets are often available from our breeding colonies to sell to outside investigators who want to conduct research with them at the SNPRC. Most of the rhesus macaques are produced under support of an NIH grant aimed at providing these animals for AIDS-related research, although other research uses of this species also are possible. Baboons are generally available for sale and removal to other research facilities, and rhesus macaques and marmosets are occasionally available for sale. Click here to submit a request.
The Research Resources Office fulfills a number of functional responsibilities for the Primate Center.
This group has an extensive portfolio in research on AIDS, hepatitis, tuberculosis, emerging viral and microbial diseases and biodefense threats, vaccine development, and immunology.
SNPRC is one of eight primate research centers sponsored by the National Center for Research Resources, of the National Institutes of Health.
As part of our efforts to further expand the utility of our baboon resource we are actively pursuing a metabolic profiling initiative to track changes in a variety of important physiological and metabolic parameters in a cohort of animals throughout their adult life.

Swim Teams Open '10-'11 Campaign with Pair of Losses to Limestone
October 9, 2010
MISENHEIMER, N.C. Both Pfeiffer University swim teams started off the 2010-2011 with a pair of losses hosting Limestone in the season opener. The men dropped a 164-98 decision to the Saints while the Lady Falcons fell 170-75.
Pfeiffer scored its first and only individual win in event nine as Haley Carter took the top spot in the 100 yard breaststroke with a time of 1:12.20. On the mens side, newcomer Charlie Melesh tallied the first Falcon win three events later in the 200 yard butterfly posting a time of 1:59.48.
Melesh later snagged a win in the 200 individual medley out-touching Limestone by a half-second. Jim Roddenbery and George Moreno registered the only other individual wins for the Falcons. Roddenbery took top honors in the 200 yard breaststroke while Moreno finished first in the 100 fly.
In a majority of the finishes on Saturday, races came down to the final few strokes. Both Pfeiffer teams will be back in action on Friday, October 22nd hosting Queens at 7:00p.m.

I agree with everything you said (although I might have issue with the terminology, such as encumberance vs freedom - why use different words here?, and will vs clash of wills - do we have one will or multiple?) and yet I still don't know the difference between free will and will.
Whatever the alcoholic wills at any given point in time, that's what he does. But, at any given point in time, the alcoholic can't will what he will. If he could, then he would have free will; to demonstrate (and not just assume) that he could will what he wills, can he do anything else but the impossible time travel experiment? How can we demonstrate, or even define, the difference between the obvious (will) and the supposed (free will)?
I'm applying the idea of what we consider freedom to the idea of will itself. We don't consider ourselves free when we can decide, we consider ourselves free when we're having experiences that we want to be having. This is when a person feels unencumbered. They feel freer, they feel free. When it comes to the matter of will, the same principle applies, if I have a will that is in conflict, my will feels encumbered, it doesn't feel free, it is a will structure in terms of experience that I would rather not be having. When this will structure is less encumbered by other variables, I experience a sense of being freer in my will structure. In the other thread I raised the level of abstraction to the concept that one persons sense of freedom and even freewill can impose upon and lessen another persons sense of freedom or free will and that the ideal is to acquire the most freedom and free will between all parties involved and not just one party, to collect as an aggregate the most freedom or free will. Do we have a choice in this matter? If it's for the best, I certainly hope we do. If it's not for the best, I certainly hope we don't. Do I think there is such a thing as choice in the universe? I'm not sure. I'd like to think the gravity of conscious beings is freedom and freewill.

Although Election Day is less than three weeks away, residents of Lenoir, Greene and Jones County can put their votes in for the candidates of choice, starting Thursday.
Early voting begins Thursday, with an abundance of candidates in Kinston looking to win the first nonpartisan election in the city.
"I'm hoping for about a 50 percent turnout because we have three candidates running for mayor and eight running for two city council seats," Lenoir County Elections Director Dana King said. "I hope people are encouraged to get out and vote. Some might think of it as a small election, but these people make big decisions in the community."
In a poll of 30 residents in Kinston on Tuesday, 22 plan on voting, with seven not planning to and one undecided. Of those 22, 11 will vote early, while four are indecisive.
A strong number of Kinston residents are still learning about the concepts of nonpartisan elections — the elimination of straight ticket and party affiliations on the ballots — as 13 of those polled weren't familiar with what it entailed.
Kinston resident Barbara Rose agreed with the concept of nonpartisan elections, believing some look at the party, instead of the individual.
"To me, it doesn't matter if someone is a Democrat or a Republican," Rose said. "I vote for someone who has plans to fix what I'm concerned about such as the infrastructure and getting new jobs to Kinston. Everyone has their own agenda."
Not everyone felt the same sentiment. Chawanda Benoit — also from Kinston — felt like nonpartisan elections can confuse some voters.
"I think they should let you know who you're voting for, because a lot of people vote for whatever party they're in," Benoit said.
In Greene County, Board of Elections Director Jane Monroe said she expects to see more people turn out for early voting in Snow Hill than those in Walstonburg, Hookerton and the Maury Sanitary Land District. Still, there won't be any alternative hours for any town to vote.
"They'll all have the same one-stop early voting hours," Monroe said.
Jones County will run with the same laws as Greene County, with residents of the towns not being restricted when it comes to early voting.
"There won't be different hours for any voter in Trenton, Maysville or Pollocksville," Jones County Director Gail Lee said.
Junious Smith III can be reached at 252-559-1077 and email@example.com. Follow him on Twitter at @JuniousSmithIII.

The book "G" is for Growing: Thirty Years of Research on Children and Sesame Street refers to Big Bird as a canary.[8] In an episode of Sesame Street, Big Bird was asked if he was related to the cassowary, he replied, "I'm more of a condor." On a 1976 episode of Hollywood Squares, he said he was a lark, causing host Peter Marshall to crack up.[9] In the film Don't Eat the Pictures, Osiris calls Big Bird an ibis. Big Bird appeared in a series 11 episode of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood, in which he declares he is a "Golden Condor". Regardless he is always described as being flightless.

February 21, 2013
AP Legal Affairs Writer
COLUMBUS — A former Ohio State University student struggling to make the transition from the military to college life emailed a bomb threat to the FBI the day he was scheduled to take an exam, the FBI said Monday at a court hearing.
Jonathan Birkemeyer used a stolen iPod to email FBI headquarters in Washington the morning of Nov. 16 to say he'd found a detailed map of nine bombs in four locations at Ohio State, including the hall where the exam was being held, according to FBI Special Agent Kenneth Smith.
Birkemeyer, 24, pleaded guilty Monday in U.S. District Court in Columbus to one count of maliciously conveying false information concerning an attempt to destroy property by means of explosives. He faces up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine, though likely will receive a far lighter sentence under federal sentencing guidelines.
Federal prosecutors said in the plea agreement filed in federal court May 27 that Birkemeyer has taken responsibility.
His attorney, Keith Schneider, declined to comment Monday. A sentencing date has not been set.
Birkemeyer, a criminology student, enrolled at Ohio State in the fall of 2009 after being honorably discharged from the U.S. Navy. He withdrew this past winter quarter. Ohio State declined to comment Monday.
Birkemeyer has also pleaded not guilty in Franklin County court to charges of burglary and receiving stolen property stemming from the Oct. 9 theft of an Apple MacBook from an apartment near the Ohio State campus.
Federal prosecutors say Birkemeyer used that computer as part of his emailed threat.
Birkemeyer had downloaded an exam review sheet the day before the threat was made, Smith said.
"The professor advised that Mr. Birkemeyer had shared that he was having a tough time making the transition from the military to being a full-time college student," Smith said.
The FBI says the email regarding the supposed bombs was sent to a public tips website just after 7:30 a.m. on Nov. 16 and came from an Apple iPod. The message described the discovery of a "detailed map" of bombs around campus that were "made of chemical and high explosive powder," according to Smith. The locations included McPherson Chemical Lab, where Birkemeyer was scheduled to take an exam that morning.
The FBI's investigation identified the Internet address assigned to the iPod and learned that Birkemeyer had accessed his Facebook account from the same address 13 minutes before the threatening email was sent, Smith said.
Smith said Birkemeyer used the stolen MacBook to check the FBI tip site and maps of Ohio State before using the iPod to send the threat. A U.S. Marine had reported the iPod stolen aboard the USS John C. Stennis during the same time Birkemeyer was aboard, Smith said.
Birkemeyer and three roommates were interviewed the same day the threat was made and Birkemeyer's laptop was taken by investigators, Smith said.
Birkemeyer failed a makeup exam on Nov. 18 after trying unsuccessfully to get out of the exam by saying he'd given his laptop to police.

Express jeans are the few jeans that I can count on to fit me correctly. Having the option to buy 'short' jeans is wonderful and prevents trips to the alternations shop. This jeans are soft and fit nicely. January 9, 2014
cute I got this jeans online and the color in person is a bit lighter. They fit perfect and feel very soft, they also make your booty look nice. the only problem I had with them is the I usually wear a size 2 in stela jeans and this one I have to change it to a 4 because they dont strech a lot and run small. But this pair of jeans are defenally a keeper. January 7, 2014
Good fit So first off, this is a straight leg jean and not a skinny fit which I loved. It still hugs my butt and my thighs (but not TOO tight) but doesn't wrap around my ankles. However, on either side of the zip there's the horizontal marks that you can't really see too well in the picture. And they really do stand out. So I might be returning them because I wanted to buy jeans that had a classic look. But if you don't mind/like the stripes/marks then this is a great buy! December 12, 2013
PERFECT FIT! Since I never see reviews from anyone bigger than a size 4 on here I figured I'd write something for the full figured ladies! These jeans fit perfect. I am as 10S (5'2) and have pretty thick thighs and a big butt and they are a snug, but not too tight, fit. I love the color - not too light. I tried the Zelda destroyed but just didnt like the way it fit or looked so I will probably pick up another one of these. Perfect with a pair of uggs or converses. December 3, 2013
Express don't every change this style! LOVE! I am 5'4 123 with a bit of curves in my bottom area and the 4short fit perfect. I sually wear a 2 short so I would say if u are curvier you might want to size up. Also, these are more of a STRAIGHT LEG JEAN than a SKINNY LEG JEAN. Some people may not like this but I think it's perfect!!! So if your one of those people that like skinny jeans but want a little bit more ankle room or someone who is tired of having to choose bootcut or skinny get these! August 18, 2013

Marysville Pilchuck's Colin Willis wins twice to advance to state
Shorewood ekes out team victory over rival Shorecrest
But the senior swimmer was not about to let anything spoil his final competitive races in his home pool at Marysville Pilchuck High School.
Willis shrugged off some early sluggishness and raced to two individual victories, both in personal-best times, during Saturday's finals at the Class 3A Northwest District swimming and diving championships. The lanky Willis won the 100 butterfly in 53.86 and then came back later to win the 100 backstroke by nearly two seconds in 55.88, both automatic state-qualifying times.
"During warm-ups I wasn't really feeling that good," Willis said. "In the medley relay, my (butterfly) didn't feel the same. But then, I don't know, I guess I just did better than I expected."
Though his margin of victory was greater in the backstroke, Willis said he was more pleased with his butterfly race.
"I went 53," he explained, "and I haven't gone 53 for over a year now. So to go to that time felt good."
Willis did not taper his training or shave his body for the district meet, "and it feels good that I still had best times," he said. "And I know that once I'm shaved and tapered I can go faster next week."
"He's going to go even faster (at state)," agreed Tomahawks assistant coach Brian Tarr, a substitute for head coach Meredith Jenks, who was on a maternity absence. "These are his lifetime-best times, so I think he's just going to do absolutely phenomenal next weekend when he's properly tapered."
In the team competition, meanwhile, Shorewood won a showdown with rival Shorecrest for the district championship, its third in a row. Shorewood led early in the meet, but then Shorecrest eased in front and held off the T-birds until the 100 backstroke -- the 10th of 12 events -- when Shorewood used a 2-3-4 finish to go on top to stay.
The T-birds led by 28 points heading into the final race, the 400 freestyle relay, and with a place in the six-team final heat Shorewood's victory was assured, despite a win by Shorecrest in the finale. Shorewood finished with a 529-511 margin over the Scots.
The outcome was a surprise for T-birds coach Scott Kelley, who was expecting a narrow margin. "It's pretty easy as a coach to score out the meet from prelims and to see where you stand," Kelley said. "And when I scored out the meet, there was about a two-point difference by my math. So I was expecting it to go right down to the end."
To clinch the championship before the final relay "was a bit of a surprise, yeah," he said.
The T-birds won only the 200 medley and 200 freestyle relays, and had only three runner-up finishes -- Andrew Garrison in the 50 freestyle, Tore Landboe in the 500 freestyle, and Davis Harford in the 100 backstroke -- but placed first on the strength of their depth.
"The guys just stepped up and took first place," Kelley said. "It was really neat to see them push for it and kind of work together as a team."
Shorewood and Shorecrest were the class of the district this season, and the rivalry between the two teams "has gotten a lot bigger this year," Kelley said. "But both teams are very cordial. There's no animosity. We obviously want to beat the rivals on the other side (of the district), but they're both just great groups of kids.
"It's been really fun to see both teams push each other to great heights this year," he added.
Shorecrest, meanwhile, won the final relay, and had a pair of double winners in Carter Osborne (200 freestyle, 100 freestyle) and Grant Heisey (200 individual medley, 500 freestyle). Heisey, a freshman, was the sole individual winner who was not a senior or junior.
One of the meet's most dominating performances was turned in by Shorecrest diver Aaron Moss, who won his event by a whopping 152,05 points. His final score of 513.85 was an All-American consideration total.

Grants, unlike a loan, do not have to be repaid. Grants are awarded usually only to undergraduate students who have not earned a bachelor's or a professional degree. Grants may be funded by federal, state, local or institutional funds. The Pell Grants are considered a foundation of federal financial aid, to which aid from other federal and nonfederal sources might be added.
The Federal Pell Grant Program provides need-based grants to low-income undergraduate and certain post-baccalaureate students to promote access to postsecondary education.
Application: FAFSA (yearly)
Award: $0 - $5,775 Year (may change yearly)
(Campus Based Aid) It is for undergraduates with exceptional financial need for students with the lowest EFC and highest unmet need. (limited funding available).
Application: FAFSA (yearly)
Award: $0 - $500 year (may change yearly)
