Product Technologies / Benefits:
- AquaPiston: AquaPiston single flush canister technology uses the force of gravity and a precision-engineered tank, bowl, and trapway to create a strong, efficient siphon during flushing. The canister flush valve's 3:2 ratio optimizes flush performance and resists warping and deterioration, while its durable design features 90% less exposed seal material than a standard 3-inch flapper flush valve, guaranteeing leak-free performance. The light-touch canister requires lower activation force than a flapper, and once activated, allows water to flow into the bowl from all sides (360 degrees), increasing each flush's power and effectiveness.
- Comfort Height: Comfort Height toilets offer the greatest accessibility and ease of use with a bowl height of between 16-1/2" and 18", the same as a standard chair.
- WaterSense Certified Product: To help make a difference on a global scale and to further its role as an industry leader in eco-performance practices, Kohler has established partnerships with a number of environmental organizations, including WaterSense. Many Kohler faucets and toilets are equipped with low-flow technology - they use less water, while continuing to meet superior performance standards.

Hi all,
The Groovy development team is pleased to announce the releases of Groovy 1.7.6 and 1.8-beta-3.
Groovy 1.7.6 is mainly a bug-fix release, whereas 1.8-beta-3 offers some interesting new features and capabilities, especially a preview of performance for primitive operations.
You can have a look at the JIRA release notes for Groovy 1.7.6 and Groovy 1.8-beta-3.
The key highlights for the new beta of our upcoming Groovy 1.8 release:
- extended command expressions can be used on the right-hand side of assignments
- the @Log AST transformation is customizable for your own logging needs
- Map now has an isCase() method
- a @GrabResolver shortcut with @GrabResolver("http://some/url")
- String can be coerced to Enums ("blue" as Color)
- support for closure memoization and trampoline
- @ThreadInterrup, @ConditionalInterupts and @TimedInterrupt AST transformations for stopping the execution of embedded scripts
- min() / max() methods on maps (on values)
- ability to store node metadata in AST nodes, for use in your AST transformations
But beyond those new features, a key aspect of the new beta is a first batch of performance improvements related to primitive int handling.
Currently, most int based operations are optimized to use primitive arithmetics bytecode.
So when a lot of int calculations is involved, you should see some interesting improvements.
Later on, we'll obviously add support for the other primitive types, and find other areas to improve as well.
As usual, you'll find the download information on the Groovy download page.
The Maven artifacts may be delayed a little as we have issues with their upload on the Codehaus infrastructure, but hopefully it'll be resolved rapidly, and the binary distributions should be up shortly if not already there when I hit "send"
We're very interested in hearing about your feedback on the Groovy 1.8 beta, as it contains some experimental code regarding performance improvements for primitive int arithmetics, and we would love to have a maximum of users trying these new aspects, to iron out all the possible issues that may surface.
Thanks a lot to all those who contributed to this release!
Looking forward to your feedback, and keep on groovying!

The sensed elevation or learning in this process may be an illusion analogous to the hamster-wheel effect, where the poor animal runs as fast as it can to achieve no more than a more rapidly spinning wheel. Perhaps the wheel of karma is analogous here too, and Buddhist meditation the best response.
It appears that you equate 'sensed unification/elevation' with learning, but this is not correct because learning is a process completely distinct from happiness. This is why I said that you must first experience this process rather than intellectualize about it.
4. The path to the cessation of suffering.
There is a path to the end of suffering - a gradual path of SELF-improvement, which is described more detailed in the Eightfold Path. It is the middle way between the two extremes of excessive self-indulgence (hedonism) and excessive self-mortification (asceticism); and it leads to the end of the cycle of rebirth. The latter quality discerns it from other paths which are merely "wandering on the wheel of becoming", because these do not have a final object. The path to the end of suffering can extend over many lifetimes, throughout which every individual rebirth is subject to karmic conditioning. Craving, ignorance, delusions, and its effects will disappear gradually, as progress is made on the path.
Using a dialectic that I have developed, we can see that an adequate amount of hedonism and self-mortification, if practiced simultaneously and in accordance with precepts of one kind or another, is a fair substitute in our spiritually-deprived age. Subsequently, applying some of Plato's arguments for the existence of forms (which involve the problem of the criterion, in my reading), we can see that indeed Noble Truth #4 is true. Since the Noble Truths are if-and-only-if to each other, there is plainly an elevation of the kind that leads to cessation of suffering if mild hedonism and asceticism, provided this balance is balanced further in the appropriate manner for which there are a multitude of techniques (again, this is criterion for individual choice in method of ascension).
However, Jung and the alchemists had some notable disagreements; it seems we are too individualized and many-parted to fully understand the dialectic but the adept can acquire a feeling for it.
may apprehend the choices that unfold layer by layer before them as forming a triune dialectic
Almost any dialectic can bring emotional elevation, but only a few types of thought processes lead to enlightenment.
But the afterlife story is beyond human compass, by definition, and is better left uncharted here.
The existence of mental states outside the body is excellent evidence for panpsychism and the afterlife has extraordinary explanatory power; I have proven with my long post that it is in fact something that can be experienced by the mind that is identified to be part of the human, so why ignore this salient fact in favor of a material human who lacks the capacity to experience this form of consciousness? If there is a layer of mind outside this dimension with fairly-certain proof for its existence then you should investigate.
Skeptical objections clamor for attention, and I for one see no way to refute them, or any particular desire to do so.
You deny my arguments without explaining why—ignorance is a useful weapon/defense mechanism among skeptics; however, if you would choose for yourself to prefer knowledge over ignorance I suggest R. Almeder's 'A critique of arguments offered against reincarnation'.
Still, I feel that you create for yourself a double standard by promoting on the one hand a theory that can encompass the afterlife quite nicely and on the other, feeling that it is refuted well by logical arguments (nearly all such arguments are strawmen as you will see in Almeder, most of the rest will either involve the modus operandi problem [an apparent non-issue when requesting more research toys for quantum science] or begging the question). You can prefer to ignore empirical evidence even as it piles up; in fact there have been other skeptics that have done so and I very much admire their courage and honesty although their curiosity and openness to new ideas is a source of much dismay for myself as a 'former' skeptic:
Carter quotes Donald Hebb admitting there is sufficient evidence to prove ESP but he won't accept it because it conflicts with his "prejudice". Carter also quotes George Price who published an article in the journal Science where he implied that despite the proof, belief in ESP could be rejected because it conflicts with scientific theories. This is equivalent to saying he prefers to ignore empirical evidence when it conflicts with his beliefs.
...back in 1951 psychologist Donald Hebb wrote this:
Why do we not accept ESP as a psychological fact? Rhine has offered enough evidence to have convinced us on almost any other issue... Personally, I do not accept ESP for a moment, because it does not make sense [[i.e. the man has not seen it for himself]]. My external criteria, both of physics and of physiology, say that ESP is not a fact despite the behavioral evidence that has been reported. I cannot see what other basis my colleagues have for rejecting it... Rhine may still turn out to be right, improbable as I think that is, and my own rejection of his view is—in the literal sense—prejudice [[i.e. denial]].
Four years later, George Price, then a research associate at the Department of Medicine at the University of Minnesota, published an article in the prestigious journal Science that began:
Believers in psychic phenomena… appear to have won a decisive victory and virtually silenced opposition…. This victory is the result of careful experimentation and intelligent argumentation. Dozens of experimenters have obtained positive results in ESP experiments, and the mathematical procedures have been approved by leading statisticians…. Against all this evidence, almost the only defense remaining to the skeptical scientist is ignorance.
But Price then argued "ESP is incompatible with current scientific theory" and asked:
If, then, parapsychology and modern science are incompatible, why not reject parapsychology? ...The choice is between believing in something "truly revolutionary" and "radically contradictory to contemporary thought" and believing in the occurrence of fraud and self-delusion. Which is more reasonable?

Timberwolves are 'too young to worry'
Young Timberwolves have rallied around the hot start of its lone senior

Jennifer Buchanan / The Herald
Jackson shortstop Jessica Roy (left) slaps gloves with pitcher Sophie Frost in a game against Meadowdale.
Jackson, which has started the season 5-2, already has half of its win total from last season, when the Timberwolves went 8-13 in Kyle Peacocke's first season at the helm.
In his second season, Peacocke features a team with lone senior Jessica Roy, and more freshman (five) than any other class.
"At the beginning of the year we talked about last year a little bit but for the most part we're just trying to focus on this year," Peacocke said. "I do have five freshman and four sophomores on the team. In a lot of ways it's a totally new group.
Roy is a good senior to have. The shortstop and pitcher hit home runs in her first four games and six of the first seven.
"I think Jessica would tell you she doesn't see herself necessarily as a home-run hitter," Peacocke said. "She's just feeling it right now. I don't know that I can really explain it. I've had a lot of good hitters over the years but I've certainly never seen anything like this in bunches."
Indeed, Roy too seems a bit surprised by the early season power surge.
"My entire life I've never thought that I was a power hitter," Roy said. "I always thought of myself as the one that would get singles and doubles, get on first base and steal the rest of the bases. But I never thought I'd hit myself in. I've done it before but I've never done it this consistently and that's something that's really cool. It's been a first for me. It surprised me and I think it surprised a lot of people."
Her play, more than her age, has earned her the leadership role on the Timberwolves.
"It's a tough situation to be in for her. Typically, you like to have three, four, five seniors who can kind of lead your team and do it together as a group," Peacocke said. "It's kind of weird because she's a minority in the group. But just in terms of her talent and what she's doing on the field she's had an incredible start. Her play has been her leadership."
"I don't think technically, it's because of her age," added Jackson freshman pitcher Sophia Frost. "I think it's because of her performance that she's leading."
Roy, who is choosing between playing softball at Boise State or Hartford University, was a bit nervous coming into the season as the only senior, but that fear has been quelled with other players, such as Frost and junior Juliana Faulconer, stepping up.
"I was nervous because being the only one I could have been an outcast but I think that even though I am the lone senior I have a lot of respect from the younger players," said Roy. "I don't really feel a lot of pressure. I think the rest of our team does a really good job of keeping everything as a team and not really putting it on one person. We have a lot of leaders. Sophia and Juliana are definitely leaders and we have a couple other leaders who have stepped up too."
While Roy has provided the offense for the Timberwolves, Frost has handled things on the mound for Jackson. The freshman has pitched every inning of Jackson's first seven games, giving her an identical record as the Timberwolves at 5-2.
The first-year Jackson player said she's completely comfortable and has no nerves out on the mound.
"Personally, I'm not nervous," Frost said. "I had talked to coach Kyle beforehand and I kind of knew that I was going to be starting a lot of the games. I didn't expect to pitch every single game so far."
Peacocke said that Frost, like several of the young Timberwolves, displays a maturity beyond her years.
"I guess it's just one of those things where she just has that it factor once you get in the (pitcher's) circle," Peacocke said. "She is a freshman but she handles herself in a mature way. I think that she has confidence in herself and her abilities."
With Frost taking over pitching duties, it allows Peacocke to use Roy, an All-Wesco South second team selection last season, in the field. This allows the Timberwolves to take advantage of Roy's athleticism.
"She does a good job but the thing is she's really athletic and we really need her to play shortstop this year," Peacocke said. "She's stepped in and really done a good job there. I didn't necessarily foresee that Sophia would pitch every game so far but that's just the way it worked out. It's one of those things where it's working and you don't want to mess up with it too much."
Jackson also has another pitcher in Faulconer, who also plays second base. With Roy and Frost looking on, Faulconer said that this year's team has become a tightly knit group.
"I love both of them. They're awesome," Faulconer said. "We've really grown as a team. I love that we've all come together and we're really close. ? Coach Peacocke talked about having a young team but I don't think it affected us that much. The chemistry's there. We've really grown as a team."
Frost foresees a strong season for the Timberwolves and sees an advantage to having such a young Jackson roster.
"Definitely, I want to go to state and I want to go far," Frost said. "I see a lot of potential from every single girl and I just think that's really cool on a high school team. Since we only have one senior only one person is leaving. I think we're going to be building up a really good team."
Peacocke expects Jackson to suffer a few growing pains this season. But if the early results are any indication, it could be a very successful one for the Timberwolves.
"I think optimistically I was thinking that we were going to be able to be competitive but the kids are going out there and doing it," Peacocke said. "Obviously there's a long way to go but it's a good start. We're certainly going to make some mistakes because we are young. But I don't think the kids worry about it so much. Sometimes I think we are too young to worry."

Today, the Groovy-Eclipse team has released milestone 2 of Groovy-Eclipse, tool support for the Groovy programming language built in Eclipse. In this milestone release, we have focused on responsiveness and features in the user interface. This milestone is significantly more stable than milestone 1 as we have fixed over 100 issues in the bug tracker.
Inferencing Engine
The inferencing engine now forms the core of many of Groovy-Eclipse's most prominent features. The inferencing engine is uses static analysis to infer the type of a single or a group of expressions of Groovy code. it is being used as the basis for content assist, navigation, search, and discovering unknown references. We have posted a detailed description of the inferencing engine.
Refactoring Support
Cross-language refactoring support is now available in Groovy-Eclipse. Now, when renaming Java methods, fields, and classes, your Groovy code will be updated as well. And the reverse is true. You can find more information here.
Task Tags
The Groovy compiler now parses task tags such as
FIXME, and
XXX. They are treated by Eclipse in the same way that Java task tags are. Task tags are configurable and can be viewed in the Tasks view. More detailed information can be found here.
Content Assist and Navigation in GStrings
Content assist and navigation are now supported inside of GStrings. For example, in the following image, content assist will display both local variables:
Notice also that the
x is underlined. This is because the
x reference is undefined in the current scope. See the description of the inferencing engine for more information on this.
CTRL-Click (or CMD-Click on Mac) will follow a hyperlink to the definition of whatever is being hovered over (pressing F3 will have the same effect):
Extensibility for custom DSLs
Also included in M2 are extension points for custom DSLs to hook into Groovy-Eclipse's inferencing engine, content assist, and syntax highlighting. This is still basic work and will be more fully announced for RC1. This extensibility is particularly suited for implementing Grails tool support in STS, but it is generic enough for any Groovy DSL to use.

Resources for Understanding the Common Core State Standards
Resources by Topic:
- The Debate
- Getting Started
- Implementation
- Lesson Planning
- Assessment
- Research
- More Edutopia Resources
Feeling overwhelmed by the sheer volume of dense, conflicting information out there about the Common Core State Standards (CCSS)? You're not alone. Connecting with other educators is often a great way to uncover useful CCSS information, tools, and resources. Consider sharing your voice in online communities: on Twitter (#CCSS or #CommonCore), on Pinterest (Edutopia's Common Core pinboard is one place to start), or in Edutopia's community discussion about the Common Core. If you'd like even more help making sense of the initiative, here's Edutopia's guide to other organizations that offer valuable resources.
The Debate
Debate and controversy continue over the CCSS and associated changes to assessments. Some supporters argue a common set of rigorous national standards will transform American education, prepare students for college and careers, and allow our nation to maintain international competitiveness. Some opponents assert the standards represent a flawed, untested, "one-size-fits-all" approach -- an overreach into matters best left up to local control. Lawmakers in several states have introduced bills revisiting the decision to adopt the CCSS in the first place. Unfortunately, many people have been left out of the debate entirely. An August PDK/Gallup poll demonstrated most Americans don't know about the Common Core and those who do, don't understand it.
With rumors about the CCSS swirling, it can be difficult to sort out fact from fiction. This article from Common Sense Media includes links to some resources for understanding supporting and opposing arguments. Smithsonian's "What to Make of the Debate Over Common Core," by Stephen Sawchuk, is another good read. Several CCSS endorsers have put effort into debunking myths; "ASCD Policy Points: Common Core State Standards, Myths and Facts" is one of those efforts. For more updates from around the nation as events take place, take a look at ASCD's Core Connection Newsletter and Education Week's ongoing Common Standards coverage. Finally, The Hechinger Report's in-depth coverage of CCSS implementation progress in seven states is a good source of stories "from the trenches" and more detailed information about CCSS intricacies and controversies.
Getting Started
Common Core State Standards Initiative
First, go straight to the source. The Common Core State Standards Initiative website is comprehensive and well-organized. You can download PDFs of the English Language Arts Standards and the Mathematics Standards, see an interactive map of which states have adopted the standards, read a list of myths about the standards, and check out a FAQ that addresses many questions about them. You can also sign up to get a bi-weekly newsletter with Common Core updates from the Council of Chief State School Officers.
Videos on the Common Core
The Teaching Channel offers more than 150 useful videos about Common Core implementation, from broad overviews to lesson ideas for specific standards. They've also developed additional videos and resources, including demonstrations of Common Core-aligned lessons, in partnership with leading non-profits and teachers unions focused on implementing the Common Core. And if you're looking for short, accessible videos to explain the Common Core Standards to parents or colleagues, check out Hunt Institute's YouTube channel. There you will find more than 30 videos, from brief animated overviews, to details on the standards' specifics, to Spanish translations. "Shaping rigorous, world-class education standards" is one of the Hunt Institute's key initiatives, so it has done great work making the Common Core understandable. The institute even wrote a Video Vignette User Guide (PDF), which helps break down the content of the videos.
ASCD's Common Core Resources
ASCD received a $3 million grant from the Gates Foundation to support implementation of Common Core State Standards over a three-year period, and it has become an endorsing partner in the initiative. ASCD has developed a Common Core resource page with a wealth of information, and created a website called EduCore: Tools for Teaching the Common Core. The organization has a twice-monthly, topic-based newsletter, Core Connection (mentioned above), that you can subscribe to by filling out a brief survey. And there's a hashtag to follow on Twitter at #ASCDcore.
Common Core Toolkit from the Partnership for 21st Century Skills
Among all the great resources offered by the Partnership for 21st Century Skills (P21), you can find the Common Core Toolkit, a 48-page guide as a free PDF download or in hard copy for a nominal fee. This resource helps map the CCSS to P21's comprehensive Framework for 21st Century Skills. It includes lesson vignettes to show what such alignment looks like in action, resources and links for states and districts working to put the standards into place, and information about assessment.
Achieving the Common Core
As an independent, non-profit education-reform organization, Achieve has a mission of supporting standards-based education reform, and it offers both content and policy resources. The best place to start is the Achieving the Common Core page, where you will find a PowerPoint presentation, fact sheets, side-by-side comparisons of the CCSS and other respected benchmarks, videos, and lesson plans. The "On the Road to Implementation" guide is useful and well-organized, and Achieve has also developed a Toolkit for Evaluating the Alignment of Instructional and Assessment Materials.
Lesson Planning
Share My Lesson Common Core Information Center
Ready to start thinking about classroom implementation? Share My Lesson is a fantastic free platform where teachers can exchange lesson plans and ideas, developed by the American Federation of Teachers and TES Connect. Their Common Core State Standards information center is a hub for lesson plans and advice. The Share My Lesson team did the legwork of digging through more than 250,000 user-uploaded and -rated resources on the site to find the most relevant ones for teaching with the Common Core Standards -- check out the K - 8 Math Index and the 6 - 12 English Language Arts Index for lessons mapped to specific standards. They also host a Common Core Forum so you can join the discussion.
LearnZillion Common Core Lesson Plans
Another place to look for high-quality teacher-produced lesson plans that align to the CCSS is LearnZillion, a learning platform that combines video lessons, assessments, and progress reporting. In addition to sortable Math and ELA video lessons, they offer a handy Common Core navigator. This organization has a great backstory -- started by a public school in Washington D.C. as a home-grown repository for screencast lessons made by their teachers, they caught the attention of edtech funders and ended up with seed money to take their idea to a national level. Watch a video or read a blog and hear a podcast from Marketplace about LearnZillion.
Khan Academy Practice Problems
Looking for resources to support math instruction? Khan Academy has created thousands of CCSS-aligned math problems, problems created and reviewed by math educators. Check out the Common Core map on their website to browse skills and related math exercises by grade and relevant standard. Adaptive software helps to identify gaps and show progress on each student's learning dashboard, and real-time tracking data is available to teachers.
BetterLesson Common Core Lesson Plans
The National Education Association (NEA) and BetterLesson have launched a new website, CC.BetterLesson, featuring over 3,000 CCSS-aligned lessons for math and English Language Arts & Literacy. Developed by over 130 current, experienced teachers for every grade level, the featured lessons include the teachers' reflections and insights, student work examples, and an array of other supporting materials. Each Master Teacher involved in the project will continue to share their lessons throughout the year; by fall 2015, the site will feature over 16,000 lessons.
The Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC)
As one of the two state-led collaboratives developing new assessments that align with the Common Core Standards, PARCC received an $186 million Race to the Top grant. You will find a solid implementation page on its website with guides, webinars, workbooks, and more resources for the transition period. PARCC is a consortium of 24 states, and its assessments will be ready for states to administer for the 2014-15 school year.
The Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium
The other group that received a comparable sum in federal funding to create next-generation K-12 assessments is the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium. Since we first published this article, Smarter Balanced launched a permanent website with a much heartier resource page, with various articles and links, and information about Race to the Top. Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium consists of twenty-two governing and five advisory states, and it's on a time line that's similar to PARCC's.
Educational Testing Service's Center for K-12 Assessment and Performance Management
Educational Testing Service (ETS) is now working with Smarter Balanced and PARCC on the new systems of assessment through its Center for K-12 Assessment and Performance Management. The K-12 center has created graphic illustrations to explain each of the two systems. (Download the PDF for PARCC or the PDF for Smarter Balanced.) The center also publishes webinars, reports, PowerPoint presentations, and a PDF guide on its work with PARCC and SBAC.
Research Reports by the Educational Policy Improvement Center (EPIC)
Two interesting studies about Common Core can be found through EPIC. "Lining Up: The Relationship Between the Common Core State Standards and Five Sets of Comparison Standards" (PDF) compares the Common Core to existing standards, including standards from California, Texas, and the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme, among others. For "Reaching the Goal: The Applicability and Importance of the Common Core State Standards to College and Career Readiness," (PDF) EPIC interviewed college instructors about how closely the standards match their courses.

Common Core practice assessments are now available on our website www.sensibleschoolsolutions.com
Each student booklet contains a pre-test to help teachers gauge current skill levels of their students and a post-test to provide more advanced practice for the national assessment. Each practice test includes eight excerpts from various genres--fiction, drama, non-fiction, and poetry-- with accompanying multiple choice questions and short answer questions. Each question targets one or more of the ten reading standards established by the Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts. Whenever appropriate, questions ask students to provide specific evidence from the text to support their answers.
The excerpts we have chosen are either directly listed as text exemplars in Appendix B of the Common Core State Standards, or they have been chosen because their Lexile(c) measure designates them as being in the appropriate text complexity band for that particular age group. Each practice test also comes with an answer key that breaks down the questions by standard so that it is easy for teachers to know exactly which standards need to be emphasized. This will enable teachers to spend more time on teaching standards that the majority of their students are struggling with and also target specific students for small group or one-on-one remediation when necessary to address learning gaps.
I put together this resource as my retirement project.
It has been a lot of fun for me and helped a large number of teachers and students.
For a decade plus we have required teachers to follow a text book and even had classroom audits from the state due to Reading First requirements. Now we are dealing with teaching teachers/principals how to think and design lessons. This is a huge shift in education as we learn to determine the standard to be taught, then the assessment, and finally design all lessons towards that standard. Check out the 5E instructional model on integrated curriculum. It is amazing approach. Detailed information can be found in Motivational Reading from Mentoring Minds and from lessons designed by Rice University.
Here are some resources, with implementation plans, that may be of assistance http://goo.gl/gRovjR
A good K-12 Math product that is aligned to common core school standards in Math. The content is solid and builds a strong mathematical understanding of school Mathematics in the US.
It gives me immense of pleasure and expectation to take my entry to edutopia and having seen the brain storming discussions and innovative practices. Looking forward for your company and guidance ..............
Congrats for your great work... really treasure of resource!!!
This train has by no means left the station, everybody. What's missing here are resources for critical thinking by teachers and communities, about how to get the children safely off it.
Did anybody notice the train wreck that just happened in New York State? If you don't actually care about the kids, note also that careers are ending.
Parents now know what they think of this boondoggle, and they don't like it.
If you are looking for CCSS activities and strategies without the canned-curriculum feel, check out my new books published by Rowman and Littlefield--Common Core State Standards for Grades K-1: Language Arts Instructional Strategies and Activities. I also have books for grades 2-3 and 4-5. Grade 6 will be available after the first of the year. These are fingertip ready activities you can use as is or can adapt.

LIMA — A woman is suing the Bath achool system saying her 5-year-old daughter was sexually assaulted numerous times on a school bus by a troubled 17-year-old boy last school year.
The lawsuit was filed earlier this month in Allen County Common Pleas Court seeking more than $25,000 in damages in addition to $250,000 for each alleged incident of sexual assault.
The woman filed the lawsuit earlier this month against Bath Local School District and the teenage boy she only identifies Jon Roe.
Her 5-year-old daughter was a pupil at Bath schools in kindergarten during the 2012-13 school year when the sexual assault happened at least four times on a school bus between Aug. 30, 2012, and Sept. 12, 2012, according to the lawsuit.
She said Bath schools placed a troubled 17-year-old boy on the bus who had been in Bath Alternative School to catch a bus ride. He was on the bus with elementary schoolchildren, the lawsuit said.
The children were assigned seats but somehow the boy was placed in a seat with the 5-year-old girl, according to the lawsuit.
Bath schools had a duty to protect the young and failed to supervise the conduct of the teenage boy, who it said has a "diminished capacity," the lawsuit said.
Bath Superintendent Dale Lewellen referred a call to the school system's attorney, Jennifer Stiff of Columbus.
Stiff released a written statement on behalf of the school board saying the school district maintains a high standard of safety practices consistent with other schools to keep pupils safe.
"This was an isolated incident that was immediately investigated and addressed," the statement said.
Allen County Sheriff Sam Crish said detectives in his agency investigated the crime and filed two counts of felony gross sexual imposition. Crish was unable to determine the final outcome of the case late Monday.
Prosecutor Juergen Waldick would not comment on the particular case but said in general when juvenile cases are disposed of the cases are sealed.
The incident was captured on bus video surveillance but Bath schools failed to discover the sexual assaults until the girl's mother notified them, the lawsuit said.
The mother found out after her daughter told her, the lawsuit said.
Bath schools has an extensive file on the teenage boy and was aware he presented a possible danger to other pupils, the lawsuit said.
The lawsuit alleges Bath schools was negligent by placing the troubled teen on the bus and knew he presented a potential danger to younger pupils. The lawsuit further alleges the girl suffered physical, emotional and psychological harm. She has anxiety, depression and embarrassment, the lawsuit said.
The school district believes no school employee was aware of any risk to the pupil or placed the pupil in danger, according to the statement from the school's attorney. Attorneys and the district said they "strongly dispute the allegations in the lawsuit and look forward to providing its response to the court."
The girl is receiving extensive counseling, the lawsuit said.

Truth, The
Truth, The (Mass Market Paperback)
The denizens of Ankh-Morpork fancy they've seen just about everything. But then comes the Ankh-Morpork Times, struggling scribe William de Worde's upper-crust, newsletter turned Discworld's first paper of record.
An ethical joulnalist, de Worde has a proclivity for investigating stories -- a nasty habit that soon creates powerful enemies eager to stop his presses. And what better way than to start the Inquirer, a titillating (well, what else would it be?) tabloid that conveniently interchanges what's real for what sells.
But de Worde's got an inside line on the hot story concerning Ankh-Morpork's leading patrician Lord Vetinari. The facts say Vetinari is guilty. But as William de Worde learns, facts don't always tell the whole story. There's that pesky little thing called the truth ...

This information is not intended to advise participants on legal issues, nor is it intended to be a substitute for a lawyer or legal advice. It is a general description of procedures and basic information about guardianship and conservatorship matters in Dakota County Probate Court.
By statue, court employees may not give legal advice.
The Probate Court has been authorized by the Minnesota State Legislature to appoint conservators and/or guardians to manage the affairs of incapacitated or incompetent people. At some time, a person may need or want to take responsibility for a physically or mentally incapacitated person who cannot manage their personal or financial affairs. In this proceeding the court orders the appointment of a person to act as a decision maker for another person. The court bases this decision on clear and convincing evidence that the protected person or ward has been found to be unable to make necessary decisions on his or her own behalf. A conservator is appointed to make financial decisions for the protected person. A guardian is appointed to make the personal decisions for the ward.
Initiating a Guardianship or conservatorship proceeding
The first step in initiating a proceeding is to consult an attorney. An attorney can review with you less restrictive alternatives that may fulfill the needs of the person you are trying to protect. The Minnesota Statutes and court rules relating to guardianship and conservatorship are complex. It is difficult for a person to proceed without the assistance of an attorney.
Minnesota Statutes, Section 524.5-118 requires a background study on a person becoming a guardian or conservator. The background study will include a review of criminal convictions held at the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension and records of substantiated maltreatment of vulnerable adults held by the Department of Human Services. There also will be a search of FBI criminal records if you have not resided in Minnesota for the previous 10 years or if the BCA information indicated that you are a multistate offender.
Forms and instructions will be sent to the Petitioners attorney after the Petition has been filed.
Background checks are not required of parents or guardians of a proposed ward who has a developmental disability if the parent or guardian has raised the proposed ward or conservatee in the family home until the petition is filed.
Minor Conservatorships/Guardianships
The Minnesota Statutes governing guardianship and conservatorship of minors differ significantly from those governing the protection of adults.
The first step in initiating a proceeding is to consult an attorney. An attorney can review with you less restrictive alternatives that may fulfill the needs of the minor you are trying to protect. The Minnesota Statutes and court rules relating to minor guardianship and minor conservatorships are complex. It is difficult for a person to proceed without the assistance of an attorney
Power of Attorney
The probate division does not have jurisdiction over this document and therefore does not have any information available. It is recommended that you contact a legal advisor if you have any questions regarding this procedure. The Power of Attorney is not filed or recorded in the probate division.
Conservatorship/Guardianship forms are available at the State of MN Courts form web site. Click here for forms.

I went to go play some courses in bowling green for the first time to practice for BG Ams. I started at Kereiakes and aced hole #13 with a fresh DX rhyno. My best round there was a 49. I then went and played Hobson Grove and threw my same DX rhyno and it skipped off the top of the basket on hole #8. A few holes later on hole #11 and I ace it with a star rhyno. My best round at Hobson was a 49 on the 18 hole layout.
That puts me at 2 aces this year and 6 overall. Also, I love rhynos (:

Gorgeous Wedding Invitations
We love our invitations! We received so many compliments. We couldn't be happier with the end results. Not too expensive to ship either.
Everything was perfect
I was very nervous ordering my wedding invitations online! But to my surprise everything was perfect!!! The quality was amazing! I just love the box everything came in!! The colors were exactly like the website! This is by far the best place to buy every stationary need!!
Really great experience all around.
Short notice on wedding, so I needed to find something. Happened upon this site and found the perfect invitation! I was able to move text around and change colors and fonts. We had to work on the wording several times because we were just hosting a reception so it was not your traditional invite, and each time I made a change, I had the new proof back within a short period of time. The finished product was beautiful and the quality was great. We have received alot of "that invite is so pretty". I would definitely use MagnetStreet again. I'm all about customer service and they were great!

First off, I would like to announce that I am a great admirer of Harris' work; I think he is, undeniably and despite his still young career, one of the most compelling and intellectually equipped writers of modern time.
Anyway, off to my point.
Harris mentions in his book and rather frequently during his debates that one of the three ways in which the faithful tend to rise to the defense God is by invoking the usefulness of such belief. He then rightly argues that the social or personal utility of a faith based claim is a complete non sequitur to the question of whether such claim is true or false. I utterly agree.
However, Harris also identifies himself as a consequentialist. So, my question would be" If a belief in, say, pink unicorns, turns out to actually make people feel good, if it helps them get through their day with equanimity, if it induces a feeling of compassion towards their neighbors, and if it ultimately causes them to behave better as civilized human beings, would this proposition be, although certainly intellectually indefensible, morally defensible in his eyes?
In other words, If a preposterous belief, no matter how ludicrous, were IN FACT useful and conducive to human happiness, would it merit some public promotion?

|Introduction | Canon EF300mm f/2.8L IS USM lens performance | Canon EF300mm f/2.8L IS USM versus competition | Conclusion
Launched in July 1999, the Canon EF300mm f/2.8L IS USM lens has been one of the most popular super telephoto lenses in the Canon range for wildlife and sports photographers alike. As expected for a super telephoto lens with a constant f/2.8 aperture and an Image Stabilizer, it is right at the top of the tree in terms of cost. But does the performance match the price? DxOMark presents the results, including a comparison of the Canon with the Pentax smc DA Star 300mm f/ 4 ED (IF) SDM, a lens also recently tested in our laboratories.
Marking the entry point into Canon's Super telephoto lenses, the EF300mm f/2.8L IS USM has always been referenced by Canon as their fastest focusing lens and offering the best image quality available at this focal length. Now replaced by a newer version, this test allows us to see just how good this lens is and also what improvements Canon have made in the intervening 12 years. Despite the weight of this lens, the inclusion of a 2-stop Image Stabilizer has made it a portable, and crucially, hand-holdable lens suitable to a wide range of uses. When attached to an APS-C camera the equivalent focal length is 480mm giving even more reach for distant or timid wildlife subjects.
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.
Added by Toshik | January 16, 2013
There are several incorrections in the review. For example sharpness (P-Mpix) score is confused with overall DXomark Score.
For example:
Attached to the APS-C sensored EOS 7D, the EF300mm f/2.8L IS USM once again puts in a strong performance, scoring 16.7P-Mpix, relative to the EOS 7D's resolution of 18megapixels. Equally, the Pentax lens scores very well, managing 15.0P-Mpix compared to the 16.3megapixels available on the K-5. Overall, this shows the EF300mm f/2.8L IS USM is as good as it's made out to be, but in this comparison, the Pentax on a K-5 is not that far behind.
EF300mm f/2.8L IS USM + 7D =11P-Mpix not 16.7P-Mpix as mentioned.
DA Star 300mm f/4 ED (IF) SDM + Pentax K-5=only 7P-Mpix not 15.

Thanks a lot for letting us know, it should now be corrected.

In comparison section:
Tested on the flagship APS-C DSLRs from Canon and Nikon, the 7D and D7000, these two Super Zooms achieve remarkably similar results. Overall we can say they're the same optically although the Nikon version hits a DxOMark Score of 13 just nudging out the Canon with 12.
The screenshot shows us not D7000 but D300 with the score 10 not 13 as mentioned.

Where 7 Hot Web Start-ups Were Born
Tech start-ups are known for thinking outside the box--especially when it comes to office space. From garages to grocery stores, here's a look at the quirky spaces where some of the biggest dot-com brands got started.--Francesa Louise Fenzi
Where it started: A garage
Nest Labs re-designed what the home thermostat could look like and do, so it should come as no surprise that the company grew out of re-designed garage space in Palo Alto. During the warm summer months, the Nest team would open the garage door to let in some sun--and a few early admirers.
Squirrels used to run in and disrupt the hardware engineers soldering, giving the term "nest" a literal significance. One software engineer put up a sign to deter the furry invaders. Unfortunately, squirrels can't read. But the sign became an office icon, and the team's favorite conference room in the new office still bears the warning: "No Squirrels."
Where it started: The cafés of Buenos Aires
Brothers and co-founders John and Patrick Collison took a trip to Argentina where they began work on their start-up Stripe, an online payment platform that makes it easy to for websites to start accepting credit card payments. Tthe brothers spent three weeks working around the clock, wrangling their first customer, and befriending baristas in cafés throughout Buenos Aires.
Where it started: A bus
You know that awful, gut-wrenching feeling you get when you've left something crucial behind? Dropbox founder Drew Houston is well acquainted with that feeling--it's exactly how he felt when he boarded a bus from Boston to New York, intending to work on a specific project, and discovered that he had left a thumb drive containing all of his previous work at home.
Houston was so frustrated by the experience that he spent the rest of his bus journey writing code for a file-sharing program that would allow people to share and access files from any location.
Where it started: Living room
It's tough to find a good bra. At least, Michelle Lam thought so. Before launching the online lingerie store True&Co, Lam hosted living room lingerie parties--like Tupperware parties, but for bras--in her apartment. The company has since transitioned to a real office space, but the in-home feel of those early fittings lingers: True&Co sends boxes of lingerie to customers' homes, where women can try on and select items in an intimate and comfortable setting.
Where it started: A co-working space
Eventbrite is an online service for event registration and ticket sales that aims to "bring people together." Maybe it's appropriate then, that the company began in a space that brought together entrepreneurs from other tech start-ups like TripIt, Flixter, Boxbee, and Zynga. Eventually, the Eventbrite team outgrew the space and moved into an office of its own that boasts an open floor plan and a communal cooking and dining space.
Where it started: Whole Foods, New York
Evan Sharp, co-founder and head of design at Pinterest, began work on the popular pin board site at Whole Foods Market in New York. He spent hours in the health food chain's café developing, iterating, and coding Pinterest's now iconic grid platform. The major perks? Free WiFi and an endless supply of coffee.
Where it started: A Tribeca apartment
It started as a joke. No really--the video site Vimeo began as a side project of online comedy site College Humor. According to Vimeo CTO Andrew Pile, the company's early days looked like something out of a 90s movie: skateboards and ping-pong in the office, which was actually a 9th floor apartment above a laundromat in Tribeca.
Both College Humor and Vimeo have since moved to Union Square where, unfortunately, employees can no longer develop hilarious videos and wash clothes in the same location. But the current office sports an "art wall" to keep the jokes--and creativity--flowing.

Die in Plain Sight
When Lacey Quinn inherits the striking landscapes done by her late, much-loved grandfather, she believes they are as good as anything hanging in museums. But the paintings now in her possession are more than the works of a talented master. They are anguished voices from the grave . . . crying murder!
Lacey begins researching her grandfather's past -- and is rocked almost immediately by a strange series of violent events. Someone wants to steal her inheritance, to reduce the paintings to unrecognizable ashes in a suspicious blaze. Someone wants to prevent Lacey from examining her grandfather's work too closely . . . by any means necessary.
Ian Lapstrake, a security specialist, has taken an interest in Lacey's inheritance . . . and in her. Troubled by what he sees, he becomes Lacey's shadow, as her search for answers leads them both down an ever-darkening road paved with lies, blood, and devastating secrets.

Results vs. UNC Pembroke (2006-09-02 19:31:12)
September 2, 2006Pfeiffer Women's Soccer Wins 3-0 Misenheimer, NC---Pfeiffer women's soccer team defeated UNC-Pembroke 3-0 Saturday afternoon in non-conference action. The Falcons(2-2) used three second half goals to defeat the Braves(3-1). The first half was a mid-field battle. Neither team had a good scoring chance as both team's defenses dug in. Any shots that got through to goal were easily saved by both goalies. The game was physical but there were not a lot of fouls called. The Falcons came out in the second half and stepped up their play. In the 55th minute Katrina Salem took a give and go pass from Michelle Vaudreuil and beat the goalie with a hard, low shot into the left side netting from 15 yards. Vaudreuil set up the next goal four minutes later when her through ball sent Laura Crews on a breakaway. Crews calmly slotted the ball past the goalie to give Pfeiffer a 2-0 advantage. Pembroke fought back hard but the Falcon defense held tough and Falcon goalie Jennifer Lindow made some nice saves. In the 83rd minute the Falcons sealed the win on a Katie Franca header. Pembroke's goalie let a corner kick slip through her hands and Franca was their to head the ball into the open goal. Coach Denton commented, "The girls are really coming together with team chemistry. We have many things to work on, however, our foundation is beginning to be built with the amazing character of the team." The Falcons will host USC-Aiken this Monday at 4:00 pm.Soccer Box Score (Final) UNC-Pembroke vs pfeiffer (Sep 02 2006 at Misenheimer, NC)

Pettiway and Woods Lead Men's Basketball to First Win of Season with 99-84 Victory over Livingstone
November 16, 2009
MISENHEIMER, N.C. Shooting 56% in the first half of play, Pfeiffer University was able to rebound for a 99-84 victory over Livingstone College in mens basketball action on Monday night in the consolation game of the 2009 Highway 52 Shootout. Chris Woods paced the Falcons with 23 points followed closely by Jeff Pettiways 22. Pfeiffer evens their record to 1-1 on the year while the Blue Bears fall to 0-2.
Pettiway led the way in the first-half going four of six from behind the three-point line while draining both free throw attempts. A pair of Pettiways three five minutes into the contest helped the Falcons go on a 17-0 run to create the separation from Livingstone. A dunk and pair of late free throws by Woods gave Pfeiffer its 55-32 lead at the half.
After a rough night from the charity stripe on Sunday, the Falcons came out in the second-half draining 24-of-28 from the line which accounted for more than half of their 44 second-half points. Pettiway would knock down all six of his free-throws, shooting a perfect 8-for-8 at the line, while Woods drained all but one. Back-to-back three-pointers by Derrick Truesdale and Yuki Yamaguchi would improve the Falcons advantage before James Crowder and Kierre Jordan would chip in with four-consecutive free throws made with just under eight minutes to play. Pettiway would convert four of the final six Pfeiffer free throws for the 12-point win.
Greg Henry would lead Livingstone with his 23 points, followed by Jarred Stocktons 21 and Aaron Caruthers 16. The Blue Bears shot 57% from the field in the second half, never being able to climb out of the first-half deficit.
Pfeiffer will get back to action next Tuesday, November 24th hosting Lees-McRae in the Conference Carolinas opener. Tip-off from the Merner Gym will take place at 7:30 p.m.

You don't have to be that good to fend off a committee of showboating senatorial blowhards. Hillary Clinton demonstrated that a week or so back when she unleashed what's apparently the last word in withering putdowns: What difference does it make?
Quite a bit of difference, it seems. This week, an oversedated Elmer Fudd showed up at the Senate claiming to be the president's nominee for Secretary of Defense, and even the kindliest interrogators on the committee couldn't prevent the poor chap shooting himself in the foot.
Twenty minutes in, Chuck Hagel was all out of appendages.
He warmed up with a little light "misspeaking" on Iran. "I support the president's strong position on containment," he declared. Breaking news!
Obama comes clean on Iran! According to Hagel, the administration favors "containment." I could barely "contain" my excitement! Despite official denials, many of us had long suspected that, lacking any stomach for preventing a nuclear Tehran, Washington would settle for "containing" them. Hagel has been a containment man for years: It worked with the Soviets, so why not with apocalyptic ayatollahs? As he said in a 2007 speech, "The core tenets of George Kennan's 'The Long Telegram' and the strategy of containment remain relevant today." Recent history of pre-nuclear Iran – authorizing successful mob hits on Salman Rushdie's publishers and translators, bombing Jewish community centers in Buenos Aires, seeding client regimes in Lebanon and Gaza – suggests that these are fellows disinclined to be "contained" even at the best of times. But, even if Iran can be "contained" from nuking Tel Aviv, how do you "contain" Iran's exercise of its nuclear status to advance its interests more discreetly, or "contain" the mullahs' generosity to states and non-state actors less squeamish about using the technology? How do you "contain" a nuclear Iran from de facto control of Persian Gulf oil, including setting the price and determining the customers?
55 cartoons on four years of HIGH GAS PRICES
All fascinating questions, and now that Hagel has announced "containment" as the official administration position, we can all discuss them.
Unfortunately, as Hillary said the other day, "our policy is prevention, not containment". So five minutes later the handlers discreetly swung into action to "contain" Hagel. "I was just handed a note that I misspoke," he announced, "that I said I supported the President's position on containment. If I said that, I meant to say that we don't have a position on containment." Hagel's revised position is that there is no position on containment for him to have a position on.
Carl Levin, the Democrat chair, stepped in to contain further damage. "We do have a position on containment, and that is we do not favor containment," he clarified. "I just wanted to clarify the clarify."
Containment? Prevention? What difference does it make? Could happen to anyone. I well remember when Neville Chamberlain landed at Heston Aerodrome in 1938 and announced the latest breakthrough in appeasement: "I have here a piece of paper from Herr Hitler." Two minutes later, he announced, "I have here a second piece of paper from my staffer saying that I misspoke." Who can forget Churchill's stirring words in the House of Commons? "If, indeed, it is the case that I said, 'We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall never surrender!,' then I misspoke. I meant to say that we're keeping the situation under review and remain committed to exploring all options."
It's easy to make mistakes when you're as expert in all the nuances of Iranian affairs as Chuck Hagel. After he'd hailed Iran's "elected, legitimate government," it fell to another Democrat, Kirsten Gillibrand, to prompt Hagel to walk it back. Okay, delete "elected" and "legitimate": "What I meant to say, should have said, is that it's recognizable."
"Recognizable"? In the sense that, if you wake up one morning to a big mushroom cloud on the horizon, you'd recognize it as the work of the Iranian government? No, by "recognizable," he meant that the Iranian government is "recognized" as the government of Iran.
"I don't understand Iranian politics," he announced in perhaps his least-misspoken statement of the day. But the Iranians understand ours, which is why, in an amusing touch, the Foreign Ministry in Tehran has enthusiastically endorsed Hagel.
Fortunately, Iran is entirely peripheral to global affairs – it's not like Chad or the Solomon Islands or the other burning questions the great powers are currently wrestling with – so it would be entirely unreasonable to expect Hagel to understand anything much about what's going on over there. So what of his other, non-Iranian interests?

Comments On Sep 01, 2012:Used to get it from the local Honda shop, but I placed an order on here with free shipping so I got another can, I still have a can I bought over a year ago. And it still has at least 1/4 can left! Its easy to spray on, comes with a plastic nozzle extension. Its not messy at all, and I've sprayed this on my one bike(chain) almost every time I rode(reason being I didn't have a stand and sprayed it every ride to ensure the chain had lube all the way around), It lasts a long time also, they recommended every 800-1000 miles. I'm sure it would last longer than that even.. Great buy all around and for the price?!?.. 10/10 from me!
