Israel, Hamas hold out for more gains in Gaza war
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) — Israel and Hamas are holding out for bigger gains in the Gaza war, helping explain the failure of the world's most influential diplomats to broker even a precursor to a lasting cease-fire.
Hamas wants to break the seven-year blockade of Gaza and believes the only way to force serious negotiations on ending the closure is to keep fighting. Israel wants more time to destroy Hamas' rocket arsenal and military tunnels and to inflict enough pain to deter the Islamic militant group from launching rocket attacks in the future. In a further complication, regional rivals have lined up on opposite sides and no trusted mediator has emerged.
Here's a look at what each player wants.
Hamas was in its worst shape ever before the July 8 start of its third war with Israel since 2009. The Islamic militant group, which seized Gaza in 2007, was caught in a financial crisis that threatened its ability to govern because Egypt had sealed border smuggling tunnels, a vital source of Hamas funding. Hamas, a branch of the region's Muslim Brotherhood, also became more isolated: Egypt turned hostile after its military deposed a Brotherhood-led government in Cairo, while Hamas previously had already fallen out with patron Syria and to some extent with Iran.
With its back to the wall, Hamas agreed in April to give up some power to a unity government of technocrats, headed by its former rival, West Bank-based Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. But the deal faltered and by the time the war erupted, Hamas had nothing to lose.
The fighting offered a chance to focus the world's attention on the need to open Gaza. The blockade has choked not only Hamas, but Gaza's 1.7 million people.
Hamas has rejected an Egyptian plan that both sides stop fighting first and later discuss new border arrangements for Gaza. And in the coastal strip, there is support for Hamas' strategy, even among opponents of the group.
After Gaza's losses — more than 1,000 killed, more than 6,000 wounded and hundreds of homes destroyed — Hamas cannot return to the status quo ante, said Khaled Hroub, a Doha-based Hamas expert. "I cannot see them accepting anything that does not indicate clearly that there is a change in the siege of Gaza," he said.
Israel wants to destroy Hamas military tunnels under the Gaza-Israel border, decimate the group's ability to fire rockets and hit Hamas hard so it won't dare attack again. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu raised the idea of trying to disarm Hamas in the future, with international help, but hasn't said how.
Israel views the tunnels, used by Hamas for launching attacks, as a major threat. Only 17 of the more than 30 tunnels discovered so far have been demolished, suggesting that Israeli troops will need to remain in Gaza in coming days.
Israeli warplanes also have hit a wide range of targets in Gaza, including the homes of Hamas leaders and sites with no apparent connection to the group, such as a charity caring for the disabled. The Israeli military largely has refused to explain why specific targets were chosen, even as the United Nations says 75 percent of the dead have been civilians.

Rajon Rondo on All-Star: 'To be loved by so many people … it's a great feeling'
|01.18.13 at 8:08 pm ET
Rajon Rondo is very grateful to Celtics fans for his selection to the Eastern Conference All-Star squad on Thursday. Before Friday's game he expressed his appreciation.
"It's a great feeling, especially being named this way amongst your fans, so many votes," Rondo said. "It's humbling and it's a grateful experience for me.
"To be loved by so many people rooting for me and wanting me to be a starter in the East, it's a great feeling."
Rondo garnered 924,180 votes, second only to Dwyane Wade. Rondo will team with Wade, LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, and Kevin Garnett on the starting five for the East on Feb. 17 in Houston.
This is Rondo's fourth All-Star selection, being named each year since 2010.
Rondo said he will target KG in the post and is still hoping Paul Pierce makes it as a reserve.
"I'm a little bit biased but without Paul, we wouldn't be where we are right now," Rondo added. "He's been Mr. Consistent and he's brought it every night for us. He's always carried the load or scoring, which we need at times, so I'd definitely consider Paul as well."
His mission? To end a run of Western Conference dominance in the game.
"I'll still try to run the show," Rondo said. "I want to win this year. We haven't won in a while '¦ but we definitely want to win this year."

Vocaloid Song Translation: Plastic Garden"If you want something done, do it yourself."More Like This
For over a month now, I had been waiting for the English translation of Plastic Garden by ayuciki, alternatively known as Mermaid-P, featuring Kagamine Rin and Len and Hiyama Kiyoteru. Notably, the song begins with music box-like melody accompanied by a piano that segues into more rock-oriented music featuring an electric guitar, drums and what sounds like an electric keyboard occasionally accompanied by the music box. The song is accompanied by a gorgeously-animated PV that caught my attention particularly because of the unusual character designs employed for the Vocaloids featured, especially Rin, who was attired in a lolita-style dress, had very long, ornamented hair, and was apparently heterochromic.
The PV itself gives the viewer a general and basic idea of the song's plot, but the d

PharmaJet and Netherlands Vaccine Institute (NVI) Partner for Needle-Free Intra-Dermal Delivery of Polio Vaccine
SAN FRANCISCO, April 6 /PRNewswire/ — The Netherlands Vaccine Institute (NVI) and PharmaJet, Inc. have entered into a collaboration aimed at helping speed the eradication of polio. The parties have been working together to evaluate PharmaJet's intra-dermal needle-free delivery technology with NVI's Salk inactivated polio vaccine (IPV). The collaboration aims to demonstrate that the immune response from a fractional dose of 0.1 ml vaccine delivered needle-free into the intra-dermal region of the skin is equivalent to the standard dose of 0.5 ml vaccine delivered with a needle and syringe into the muscle.
"Eradication of Polio is a major global health goal for governments around the world, the WHO and NGOs such as Rotary International and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation," said Lucas Elting, Chief Executive Officer of the Netherlands Vaccine Institute. "NVI has been at the forefront of innovation in development, manufacturing and/or supplying Salk and Sabin IPV vaccines worldwide. Our capability will play a major role in preventing the reemergence of polio, and as a public Dutch institution we are committed to adding polio to the list of eradicated infectious diseases."
Based on WHO guidance that has been substantially adopted throughout the world, there is a migration from the use of oral polio vaccine (OPV) delivered by drops, to IPV that is injected into the body. IPV is more effective against re-emergent strains of the virus. For full eradication, IPV must be universally adopted. In countries where the disease is still prevalent e.g., in regions of India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Nigeria, the hurdles to implementing the Salk and Sabin IPV strategy are still considerable.
"The cost of scale up, manufacturing and logistics of supplying and administering injected polio vaccine are high, however it can be reduced substantially if instead of the traditional 0.5 ml intra-muscular injection we can switch to 0.1 ml injected intra-dermally," said Rajen Dalal, PharmaJet's CEO and President. "PharmaJet's intra-dermal injection technology can reduce the cost. At the same time, the needle-free device can be used by the large network of hundreds of thousands of community healthcare workers who deliver OPV drops door to door, without having to retrain them to inject IPV with needles and syringes. Needle-free will also eliminate the risk of needle stick injuries and reuse of spent sharps, which cause the spread of blood borne diseases such as AIDS and hepatitis."
Polio News reported that major funding had been announced last year to boost the polio eradication effort. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Rotary International, and the British and German governments have committed more than US$630 million in funding to stop polio. On January 21, 2009 the Gates Foundation announced it was awarding a $255 million challenge grant to Rotary, which Rotary will match with $100 million from its members over the next three years. In addition, the United Kingdom and Germany are committing $150 million and $130 million, respectively, over the next five years.
The demand for IPV could be high as 400 million doses per annum, for decades until the disease is fully eradicated. The WHO has conducted three human clinical trials to date, to optimize fractional dose, intra-dermal delivery of IPV. Additional studies are planned to start this year.
About the Netherlands Vaccine Institute (NVI) and IPV
NVI is a governmental organization with the primary task to make state of the art vaccines available for the Dutch National Immunization Program. However, it has an extensive research and development program for vaccines, including production and control of vaccines for human use. NVI is the owner of proprietary polio (Salk IPV) strains and is a manufacturer of IPV vaccine, which it sells, and provides related technology transfer to various customers, particularly developing country manufacturers in Asia. NVI is involved in a WHO sponsored project, part of the Eradication Initiative, and is establishing a Sabin IPV production process on a pilot scale to transfer such technology to developing countries in order to enable them to produce a vaccine against polio in their own country. www.nvi-vaccin.nl
About PharmaJet, Inc. and Needle-Free Injections
PharmaJet, Inc. is a privately held company located in Denver, Colorado; San Francisco, California and Baltimore, Maryland. It develops, manufactures and markets vaccine and drug delivery products based on its proprietary needle-free jet injection technology.
Jet injectors can deliver vaccines intra-dermally. For some vaccines, intra-dermal delivery has the potential to reduce the amount of vaccine required, leading to cost savings and expanded coverage for vaccines in limited supply. Although previous generations of jet injectors delivered billions of doses of vaccines over the last 60 years, newer devices, like PharmaJet's system, are more appropriate for the developing world because of their usability, affordability of materials, and improved safety features.
Needle-free jet injection also has the potential to improve safety by eliminating needles from the process of administering vaccines. Jet injectors create a fine stream of pressurized liquid that penetrates the skin, delivering doses of medications and vaccines while reducing the burden of hazardous waste management. The potential benefits of jet injectors include more consistent delivery, reduced vaccine wastage, elimination of the need to transport large volumes of sharps, and reduction of the risk of needle sticks and of the costs associated with sharps waste. www.pharmajet.com

Zimonjic Records 600th Match Win; Bryans Open Title Defence
Madrid, Spain
by ATP Staff|
Nenad Zimonjic joined the 600 match-wins club on Thursday at the Mutua Madrid Open, as he teamed up with Daniel Nestor for a 7-6(2), 6-4 win over last year's finalists Alexander Peya and Bruno Soares.
The 37-year-old Serbian is the 19th player to reach the milestone, and could move up to joint-17th place with Brian Gottfried on the list of match-wins leaders by reclaiming the Madrid title this week. Nestor, 41, tops the list with 936 match wins.
Nestor and Zimonjic lifted the Madrid trophy together in 2009 and, since reforming at the start of the season, are chasing their second title. They were finalists in their last outing, two weeks ago the Barcelona Open Banc Sabadell (l. to Huta Galung/Robert).
Watch Nestor/Zimonjic Uncovered
For a place in the final, the sixth seeds will face 'Colombian Power' Juan Sebastian Cabal and Robert Farah, who edged Kevin Anderson and Jurgen Melzer 6-7(5), 6-3, 10-6 in one hour and 41 minutes. Cabal and Farah are looking to reach their sixth final of the year together.
Top seeds and five-time Madrid champions Bob Bryan and Mike Bryan survived an opening scare against the in-form duo of Jean-Julien Rojer and Horia Tecau. The Bryans prevailed 7-5, 3-6, 11-9 to reach the quarter-finals.
The Bryans improved to a 22-match winning streak and are looking to win their sixth title in a row. The Americans have not lost since the Memphis final in February, lifting trophies in Delray Beach, Indian Wells, Miami, Houston and Monte-Carlo. Victory in Monte-Carlo took them to 98 team titles and Mike, individually, to 100.
The 36-year-old Bryans won this ATP World Tour Masters 1000 clay-court tournament for the fifth time last year.
Mariusz Fyrstenberg and Marcin Matkowski also secured their place in the quarter-finals after battling past seventh seeds and Australian Open champions Lukasz Kubot and Robert Lindstedt 7-5, 6-7(6), 13-11 in one hour and 46 minutes. The Poles are two-time Madrid champions, triumphing in 2008 and '12.

Re: Beginners Question... HELP!!!
I'd personally go the dinghy route. We did the same thing while living in Tucson (bought a Buccaneer 18, which is just a few feet longer than a mutineer). It also depends on the venue for dropping the boat in the water. If you need to back a trailer with a big heavy boat, you may need an extendable tongue (they do that for 3200 lb J-24's), a big hassle, in addition to stepping the rig- that gets old very fast if you are not keeping the boat where you can keep the mast stepped and ready to go. If you have access to a lake with a club that uses a hoist (and you keep your boat there), all the better. Hoisting a heavier boat takes maybe 30 minutes and you're on your way, once you're practiced at it. Buying a smaller boat like the mutineer or capri 14.2 (which is what the AZ sailing foundation uses) are great learning boats- pretty difficult to capsize and easy to put in the water from a ramp. I'd drive to those places you're interested in and look at the boats- bring the instructor with you.
By the way, rgscpat- who's your son? I took their ASA classes back in 2008. Great program!

CHENNAI: Frontier Lifeline Hospitals plans to set up a Rs.500-crore medical science park at Elavoor in Tiruvallur district by the end of 2008.
Hospital chairman and CEO K. M. Cherian told a press conference on Thursday that the 'Frontier Mediville,' to be established on 1,00,000 sq ft, would focus on clinical studies in human and animal tissue, besides undertaking research and training.
Frontier Lifeline and SASTRA University in Thanjavur formalised a Memorandum of Understanding to develop clinical applications for basic research initiatives.
The agreement was signed by vice-chancellor R. Sethuraman and Dr. Cherian.
The Centre for Nanotechnology and Advanced Bio Materials at SASTRA University specialises in polymer synthesis and covers tissue engineering, nano-biosciences and photovoltaics. "The synergy of clinical research and the ongoing work on nano-scaffolds at the university has the potential to evolve commercially viable medical products," dean S. Swaminathan said.
Sanjay Cherian, director, Frontier Lifeline, said the collaboration would help the research stay focussed on patient benefit and troubleshoot hitches that surfaced along the way.

Heng Swee Keat: MOE hopes to nurture preschoolers to be confident and curious
Published on Jan 15, 2014 9:52 PM
The Ministry of Education hopes to nurture children in its new kindergartens to be "confident, lively and curious", Education Minister Heng Swee Keat said in a Facebook post on Wednesday.
Children in the ministry's five kindergartens, which opened this year, will learn through play and through quality interactions with teachers and friends, Mr Heng said.
"I am happy to see that the children are settling in well," he wrote, following his visit to the Tampines centre a week ago. "We aim to keep improving the quality and accessibility of pre-school education, and parents' support and the children's happiness are very encouraging to our team."
He added that books and lessons at the kindergartens have a "strong Singapore flavour" so that the children will be able to connect what they learn in the kindergartens with their personal experiences outside and at home.

Research produced by HSBC Commercial Bank found that one third of SMEs in Scotland will shy away from making positive investment decisions this year.
The bank urged risk-averse businesses not to sit still and to start planning for growth to capitalise on an improving recovery in years to come.
The Ambitious Businesses report revealed that micro businesses have seen an average rise in revenues worth £30,000 this year as the economy has picked up the pace.
Small businesses have typically reported an £80,000 surge and for medium-sized businesses, the figure has been £440,000.

Training Notebook: Edson Buddle expected to be contribute in 2015; Robbie Keane hopes StubHub Center remains a fortress
It's no secret that Edson Buddle will be joining the LA Galaxy, but LA boss Bruce Arena expects the veteran forward to contribute in the upcoming season.
Arena revealed on Monday that the Galaxy will be signing the forward before the end of week after a successful preseason training stint with the club. Buddle will look to return to form with the Galaxy after two difficult seasons with the Colorado Rapids, but despite his difficulties with the Rapids, Arena has full confidence in Buddle to perform in 2015.
"He's an experienced forward. He's scored 100 goals in this league and there's no reason to believe that he can't score a few more," he said. "He's a good experienced forward. He can hold the ball up, he's hard to play against. He's going to play a role for us this year. We're going to have a lot of games this year and it's going to help having an experienced forward on the field."
The LA Galaxy had a nearly unblemished record at StubHub Center in 2015, and if the club is to repeat as MLS Cup champions, the belief is that they must continue to dominate at home.
A year ago, the Galaxy went a stunning 15-1-4 at home in all MLS competitions with their lone loss came in club's season opener way back on March 8, 2014. As the Galaxy prepare for the upcoming season, team captain Robbie Keane believes that staying perfect at home is key for LA's hopes of another title.
"We need to continue to do the same [thing we did last year]," said Robbie Keane. "We need to make sure that this place is difficult for players and teams to come. We want them to not enjoy coming here and know that it'll be a difficult game when you play against the LA Galaxy."
The LA Galaxy will enter the 2015 season as the defending champions of Major League Soccer, but Galaxy boss Bruce Arena has a qualm with the use of the word "defending."
"We're not defending anything," said Arena. "Its' a new season. We're trying to win a championship, we're not defending one."
Preseason Notes: LA Galaxy nearing full fitness; Arena says CONCACAF Champions League schedule must change
CARSON, Calif. -- The LA Galaxy open the 2015 MLS regular season on Friday, and will do so with a near clean bill of health.
First team regulars A.J. DeLaGarza, Baggio Husidic, Jaime Penedo and Gyasi Zardes as well as trialist Edson Buddle missed out on the Galaxy's final preseason game of 2015 on Saturday, but Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena says that the team will be close to full health when they open the season on Friday against the Chicago Fire.
"I think that we're in good shape heading into the first game. We've been very conservative with our players this preseason. Given that we had such a long year last year, we didn't want to kill anybody. We're just taking it in stride. We'll be fine... They're all here training."
The Galaxy will not begin their CONCACAF Champions League campaign for nearly five months, but Bruce Arena says that the club will do their best to win the continental tournament.
Currently, MLS entrants D.C. United and the Montreal Impact are long shots to reach the semifinals of the now rebranded Scotia Bank CONCACAF Champions League which may force MLS to wait another year for the a team to challenge for the regional championship. During the 2015-16 tournament, the Galaxy will be joined by D.C. United, Real Salt Lake and Seattle Sounders FC who will attempt to become the first team to win the title.
Winning the Champions League has been a tall order for MLS clubs, and according to Arena, it will continue to be a challenge for MLS teams if the schedule remains the same.
"We want to win it," said Arena. "Unfortunately for our league, it's not fair for our teams to play this competition in February. We're put behind the eight ball right away. It's the job of U.S. Soccer and MLS to work with CONCACAF and provide some dates that allow us to be more competitive in the competition.
The LA Galaxy will begin their MLS regular season campaign on Friday with 19 teams gunning to take away their title as MLS Cup champions. Typically that places a bulls-eye on the winning team, but that's of little matter to Bruce Arena.
When asked on Monday if the Galaxy will face considerable pressure this season to repeat as champions, the LA head coach and general manager responded in his typically glib manner.
"Yeah, bring it on. Whatever. I think that's what I signed up for," Arena said.
Even if the Galaxy will head into the season as the favorites to repeat as MLS Cup champions, Arena is eager to get the season started.
"We don't need anymore preseason," Arena said. "I'm sick of it. I'd rather be criticized right away."
CARSON, Calif. -- Edson Buddle will be a member of the LA Galaxy again by the end of the week.
Buddle has been sidelined recently with an injury, but head coach and general manager Bruce Arena confirmed that the 33-year-old forward will be joining the club by the start of the 2015 season.
"We'll get that done this week," Arena told reporters after practice on Monday.
The veteran forward will be joining the Galaxy for a third time having spent time with the club from 2007-10 and again in 2012. Buddle has a total of 99 appearances for the Galaxy in all MLS competitions, having scored 32 goals and six assists in two stints for the Galaxy.
Buddle is one of eight players in MLS history to score 100 regular goals in his career.
SAN JOSE, Calif. – The LA Galaxy were without several key pieces when they ended the preseason with a 3-2 defeat to the San Jose Earthquakes, but head coach Bruce Arena expects the full team in training next week.
Galaxy regulars Baggio Husidic, Jaime Penedo and Gyasi Zardes as well as trialist Edson Buddle missed out on the club's final preseason preseason match due to unspecified injuries, but according to Arena, they'll be on the training field on Monday when the club ramps up their preparations for Friday's MLS regular season opener against the Chicago Fire.
"All our guys will be back next week," said Arena.
The Galaxy boss was also optimistic about the status of defender A.J. DeLaGarza who has missed the entire preseason with a bone bruise in his left leg.
"He'll be in full training on Monday," Arena said afterward.

Preseason Notes: Daniel Keller and Ramon Martin Del Campo released from preseason camp; Galaxy II win scrimmage
CARSON, Calif. -- Ramon Martin Del Campo and Daniel Keller were released from the LA Galaxy's preseason camp, LA head coach Bruce Arena confirmed on Thursday.
Keller, 22, was drafted by the Galaxy out of the University of Louisville with the 62nd overall selection in the MLS SuperDraft and appeared in four preseason matches. Meanwhile, Martin Del Campo was an undrafted trialist out of UC Davis and played in two preseason games for the Galaxy. Martin Del Campo also trained with Galaxy II brief, but has since departed to pursue opportunities abroad while Arena said that Keller "wasn't interested" in playing for Los Dos.
The Galaxy boss also told reporters that the club's final SuperDraft selection goalkeeper Andrew Wolverton is still dealing with an injury that is preventing him joining the club's preseason camp.
LA Galaxy II stalwart Andre Auras remains in training with the Galaxy first team, but don't expect a decision on the 2014 Los Dos breakout star any time soon.
Auras has appeared in all but one Galaxy match this preseason, but Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena says that the club is still undecided on whether the Frenchman will be offered a first team deal.
"He's signed with Galaxy II right now so that's not that critical at this point," Arena said.
LA Galaxy II picked up another preseason victory by defeating Cal State Dominguez Hills 5-2 on Wednesday.
Galaxy Under-18 player Mark Cruz scored two goals while Adonis Amaya, Travis Bowen and Jason Bli scored for Los Dos.
First teamers Ignacio Maganto, Oscar Sorto and Jose Villarreal played in the scrimmage.
The LA Galaxy may be a week away from starting their 2015 campaign, but don't tell LA head coach Bruce Arena about repeating just yet.
When asked if his team has the mettle to repeat as champions, Arena scoffed at reporters talking of titles in February.
"It's certainly not a thought at this point. I think it's comical when I see teams talk about that It doesn't make any sense to talk about winning the MLS Cup because it's a long way away."
LA Galaxy midfielder Baggio Husidic revealed the latest sneak peak of the club's new secondary jersey on Wednesday afternoon.
Husidic's photo shows the new kit's back collar which is emblazoned with the Galaxy name in dark blue while the letters "LA" are prominently displayed in gold font.
Another sneak peak is expected on Thursday for the jersey that will be officially unveiled on March 2.

Bruce Arena says LA Galaxy hoping to sign Edson Buddle; claims team still interested in Mika Väyrynen
CARSON, Calif. -- LA Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena is close to finalizing his roster for the upcoming 2015 campaign, and trialists Edson Buddle and Mika Väyrynen appear to be closing in on roster spots for the year ahead.
Buddle, 33, has trained with the club since the start of the preseason, but missed out on the team's 1-0 preseason victory over Shamrock Rovers due to injury. Although Buddle missed out on the club's penultimate preseason match, Arena still seems set on bringing the veteran forward back for a third stint with the Galaxy.
"Buddle is here training and we hope to be able to sign him," said Arena after the club's first training session in Southern California in two weeks. "We haven't done anything else on any other [trialists] yet. When we have an answer, we'll let you know."
Väyrynen was not present on Wednesday as he remains in Scandinavia after spending most of the Galaxy's European trip training with the club. The 33-year-old former Finnish international played in both LA preseason matches in Europe, and scored the game-winning goal in the team's win over Rovers last weekend.
Even though Väyrynen is not currently training with the club, Arena is open to bringing the midfielder to Southern California for another look.
"He's a good experienced player," said Arena. "It's a possibility [he could return]. We haven't finalized anything yet."
After training, Arena's captain Robbie Keane echoed his manager's sentiments on both trialists.
"I was impressed by [Väyrynen]He was good and he's technically very, very good," said Keane. "And we know what Edson is about. He'd certainly be a good addition to the squad."
A day after Brian Rowe showed us a peak of the new LA Galaxy secondary jersey, another Galaxy player offered an exclusive look.
This time, it was Robbie Rogers who posted a preview of the new kit on Instagram on Tuesday morning. The photo depicts a lenticular Galaxy crest on a blue field that includes light dark blue horizontal lines and includes just a glance of one of the club's five stars.
According to a Major League Soccer press release, the Galaxy will unveil the new jersey digitally on March 2 around 10 am PT.

Objectives Builder - TeachOnline. Writing Rubrics. Guide Instruction Through Common Formative Assessments. Assessment and Rubrics. Twitter. Formative Assessment Strategies. Formative Assessment Tools. Classroom Techniques: Formative Assessment Idea Number Nine. So far we've touched on eight formative assessment ideas that can help teachers elicit evidence of student learning in the here and now.
This barometer can be vital to making needed adjustments in teaching plans to improve student learning for all in the classroom. These formative assessment ideas are all inexpensive and easy to implement, and engage the entire class consistently. While no one idea will work for all teachers or all students, we hope there's one that works for you and your classroom. So far, our blogs have touched on the following formative assessment ideas: 1. Our latest formative assessment idea is called ABCD Cards. Each student is given a set of cards. This formative assessment idea does require a limited set of answers, and the teacher may need to write down what answer corresponds to what letter.
Formative Assessment. Informative Assessment:The Best Value in Formative Assessment. December 2007/January 2008 | Volume 65 | Number 4 Informative Assessment Pages 14-19 Recently a school leader asked us to provide an example of a good test item on a formative assessment and then show how that item would be different when used on a summative test. He wanted to explain to his staff the difference between formative and summative assessment. His end goal was for teachers to develop assessments to measure how well students were mastering the content standards that would appear on the state accountability test before the test was given in the spring.
His question reflects the confusion many educators have about formative and summative assessment. This confusion isn't surprising: Definitions of formative assessment abound, resulting in multiple and sometimes conflicting understandings. One result of No Child Left Behind has been a surge in student testing—much of it voluntary, going well beyond what federal law or state assessment systems require. Expanded Writing Rubrics.

10 Rules For Writing Multiple Choice Questions. Sharebar This is a back-to-basics article about the undervalued and little-discussed multiple choice question.
It's not as exciting as discussing 3D virtual learning environments, but it might be just as important. If you need to use tests, then you want to reduce the errors that occur from poorly written items. The rules covered here make tests more accurate, so the questions are interpreted as intended and the answer options are clear and without hints. Just in case you're not familiar with multiple choice terminology, it's explained in the visual below.
Here are the ten rules. Rule #1: Test comprehension and critical thinking, not just recall Multiple choice questions are criticized for testing the superficial recall of knowledge. Rule #2: Use simple sentence structure and precise wording Write test questions in a simple structure that is easy to understand. Rule #3: Place most of the words in the question stem.
Can 6 y.o. Demonstrate Their Learning? By Kathy Cassidy This week we finished up another one of our project based learning (PBL) or inquiry-based units in my first grade classroom.
It had the grand title of rules, relationships and responsibilities. Why I Let Students Take the Lead in Learning Demonstration At the end of each of our units, I have the students create an artifact that can be posted on their blog to show what each of them has learned about our topic of study. I have never been a big supporter of "tests", especially in first grade, where the students are usually much more comfortable showing learning in a verbal way rather than a written one. MasteryConnect. Rubrics from Reading&Writing Project. The Project has compiled the following assessment materials, which we use in our professional development services.

The parent company of Banner Bank and Islanders Bank, living up to the warning it issued two weeks ago, reported Tuesday a net quarterly loss of $42.7 million.
Walla Walla-based Banner Corp. had announced Oct. 6 an expected loss of $43 million to $45 million, driven by a $24 million non-cash hit for reducing the accounting value of deferred tax assets and a provision for loan losses of about $20 million.
The company also wrote down the value of bank-owned real estate and its investment portfolio by $11.6 million, as previously announced.
The quarterly loss dwarfs Banner's net loss of $4.9 million in the immediately preceding quarter and a net loss of $6.4 million in the third quarter a year ago.
After accounting for dividends and other adjustments related to its $128 million in TARP money from the U.S. Treasury, Banner's net loss attributable to common shareholders was $0.40 per share.

Mining Publication: Technology News 465 - Method for Predicting Methane Emissions on Extended Longwall Faces
Original creation date: November 1997
To provide longwall operators with a method to predict methane emissions from panels with increased face width. To predict the methane emission consequences of mining longwall panels of greater face width, it was first necessary to measure current emission rates to determine if a general increase in methane emission levels occurs progressively during the mining of longwall pass. A production time study was conducted to correlate methane emission data to mining activity and shearer location on the face.

A 'Non-GMO' seal for organic foods
GMO's are sneaking their way into organic foods, making it necessary to create a Non-GMO seal.
Wed, Sep 02, 2009 at 10:53 AM
Certified organic doesn't necessarily mean free from genetically modified organisms (GMO's). It's supposed to. According to the Organic Trade Association, the USDA doesn't allow the use of GMO's in certified organic foods. Still GMO corn, soy, sugar and other biotech foods are increasingly being found in organic food as the industry grows and standards are becoming lax or organic crop fields are being contaminated from nearby fields planted with GMO's.
The New York Times reports that an industry group, the Non-GMO Project, has come up with a way to make sure that consumers know which organic products truly don't have GMO's in them – or at least mostly don't have GMO's in them. The group will certify products that "contain no more than 0.9 percent of biotech material" with a new "Non-GMO" seal.
This independent, third-party seal will mean that a product has been rigorously tested to ensure that the standards set by the Non-GMO Project have been met. The companies who create the products pay to have the Non-GMO Project test their foods, and if they meet the standard, the products get the label.
Whole Foods, Eden Organics, Nature's Path and Tofurky are just some of the companies that have already enrolled in the project. A complete list of companies enrolled and the products that have been labeled is on the website.
Want to know why people are concerned about GMO's in their food? Greenpeace released this video on YouTube that explains what they believe are the "dangers of genetically modified organisms (GMOs), for the environment, animal and human health."

A native Detroiter, life brought me up to the beauty of this area suddenly, during 1990. A few years later, I opened and ran a retail store called Capricorn Moon that was popular in nearby Petoskey for over a decade. I now make my living through writing plays and non-fiction, and I am currently working on the Great American Novel. Civic theatre, choral singing, and being outside are my passions.
Sally McCoy purchased this cottage in 1989
I have enjoyed being this cottage's caretaker for well over two decades. It was my parents' summer home and has seen hundreds of happy relatives and friends coming Up North for vacations. I have personally lived here only sporadically, and have more often played hostess here, being the only family resident to live year round within this fabulous vacation area of Michigan. This cottage has so much to offer! The property is flanked on both sides by empty lots, while to the back there is a ridge of woods that separates it from backyard neighbors, and the huge expanse across the street to the front acts as the community septic field. No one will ever build there, so the property is located in forever seclusion. Yet it maintains a strong position of access to all sorts of lovely amenities. The house itself is gracious with a wide, sweeping front deck, open views from the top of a hill, with plenty of surrounding wildlife and trails to enjoy. Beautiful Lake Charlevoix is so close. It is not hard to see why this spot is one to be cherished by all who come to stay for awhile.
A quirky sense of humor embraces the furnishings and accent pieces of the Rest Nest. The long driveway up to the cottage is lined with stones and ornaments of a whimsical character that must be seen to be appreciated. The gracious plant life that surrounds the house, both domesticated garden plants and wild ferns and flowers, are breathtaking to behold. Though set in a modern subdivision, our cottage is virtually neighbor free. We are surrounded by nature instead, with the quiet peacefulness that that implies. Across the road is an old forest with graceful trees, perfect for a winter glide on cross country skis, or a robust walk with the family dog. Inside the house is a cozy atmosphere, which separates the great room in front from the more secluded adjoining bedrooms in the rear of the building. Every one of the many windows in the cottage boasts a beautiful view of the great outdoors. The birches and cedars that are dotted throughout the property are lovingly decorated with crystals and garden art. Every year we add more pieces, combining with Mother Nature to create an atmosphere of grace and loveliness for our guests. We maintain a fire pit, complete with aged firewood, for summer gatherings of folks who like to toast hot dogs and marshmallows over the dancing flames. A giant grill is available for outdoor barbeques during the warmer months. And in the winter, our lovely gas fireplace provides warmth and comfort for the weary traveler. It is not all primitive, however: we provide the finest and fastest wireless internet service and expanded cable TV, with a DVR filled with a huge array of classic television shows and movies. We like to think of the Rest Nest as a wonderful place to visit, regardless of the season of the year. We believe that vacations are appropriate during any month on the calendar, and we set the cottage up for joyful times, regardless of the date! Holiday decorations are set out for your enjoyment whenever you happen to visit!
The property is located across a trail that leads to the lake, which is wonderful. It was beautiful in the wintertime. It is a great base for adventure.
We had an outstanding stay. Extremely comfortable and clean. The Rest Nest included everything we needed. We really enjoyed the fireplace and the property was close to several towns and resorts. In only a day and half, we visited Boyne City, Boyne Highlands resort and Petoskey, without rushing. Thank you, Sally.
We stayed at the Rest Nest during a freezing sub-zero Valentine's Day weekend - which was great nonetheless! The Rest Nest is so cozy and relaxing that we did not mind staying inside. We even cooked a few of our own meals and spent a lot of time relaxing at the cabin. The kitchen is fully equipped for cooking - we made breakfast and dinner! We enjoyed the weather when the sun was at it's peak but we mainly spent our time huddled in blankets by the warm fire, eating, drinking, and relaxing. I would recommended the Rest Nest for any weekend up in northern Michigan. In snow or swimsuits!
For the past 5 years or so I have been making a birthday trip up to the Boyne/Petoskey area to ski and relax. I have stayed at timeshare properties, hotels, and rental condos but none of those compared to the Rest Nest! Prior to my trip Sally checked in to make sure no needs were left unmet. The home was warm and clean when we arrived and everything we needed was there! We had a wonderful relaxing trip and it was great to be able to bring our full family, 4 legged members included! No doubt we will be back to this wonderful warm vacation home away from home!
We felt right at home when Sally started out our vacation with a friendly greeting and a tour. This place is clean, nicely organized, stocked with thoughtful amenities and has a well equipped kitchen. Our entire family enjoyed the peacefulness of the woods surrounding this house, watching the birds, grilling and sitting out on the deck. There's plenty to do in the surrounding areas but our favorite hiking trail was just outside our door in the walk down to Lake Charlevoix. We already miss our time up at the Rest Nest and do plan to return especially since Sally is an excellent host, accommodating and makes your stay enjoyable.
A great place to vacation especially if you want to take your dogs. A quiet woodsy area and a close walk to crystal clear lake Charlevoix.
Set within the center of three major resort towns (Petoskey, Charlevoix, and Boyne City), there are oodles of attractions and events to be found within a few miles from the door of our cottage. Whether your interest is GOLF (five acclaimed courses, each within 23 miles), NATURE (we are famous for our million dollar sunsets and pristine freshwater beaches), SHOPPING (we boast four major top grade retail districts all within 12 miles), ENTERTAINMENT (Odawa Casino Resort with gaming and live shows is 13 miles away), HISTORY (museums surround us, as do Renaissance and Victorian buildings, a variety of lighthouses, and we are located smack in the middle of Ernest Hemingway's boyhood territory), ADVENTURE (Wildwood Rush Canopy Tours with nine zip lines is just around the corner, Avalanche Bay Indoor Water Park, Boyne Mountain Ski Resort, go karts, driving ranges, Petoskey Winter Sports Park, batting cages) or LAKES AND ISLANDS, we are lucky enough to be at the center of it all.
Day trips to historical and rustic Beaver Island or to nationally famous Mackinaw Island are enjoyed by many tourists to this area. Within fifty miles lies The Headlands, one of only ten International Dark Sky Preserves in the entire USA. Ideal for star-gazing, the absence of human-made light sources gives these rare Dark Sky parks their distinction. We have one! It also happens to have 550 acres of untouched woodlands to explore, including over two miles of undeveloped Lake Michigan shoreline. A bonanza for observing unusual and endangered species of plants, and for spying birds and animals living freely within their natural habitat; a photographer's dreamland!
Our cottage is a mere four miles from beautiful Young State Park, and we have several other nature preserves nearby, all featuring expansive public beaches. Water excursions are available, including Sturgeon River trips, fishing charters, cruising Lake Michigan or Lake Charlevoix in 110' tour boats, and personal small craft (kayaks, jet skis, pontoon boats, etc.) may be rented by the hour or for a full week.
This is a biker's paradise, with 13 major bike trails leading all over the North, each approachable from our own driveway. Forest lovers are welcome to explore exquisite hiking trails that start and finish at our cottage door - no need for a motor vehicle to get you there.
Nothing can beat our breathtaking autumn colors, splashed against the bright blue skies above. Our cottage gives a stunning view of the wonders of fall hues, sitting as it does amongst the treetops.
Winter guests have the most gorgeous snow scenes to view, with skiing, snow-boarding and other winter sports readily available. Three major ski resorts (Boyne Mountain, Boyne Highlands, and Nubs Nob) are all close by.
Springtime brings morel mushroom hunting, and more beautiful and delicate white trillium in the woods than you will see anywhere else in the country. Feral deer live plentifully among us, and you will doubtlessly see them during your stay, tiptoeing though the property in their graceful way.
Summertime, of course, is the prime season to visit, where resort life is at its finest. SO many festivals and special events are available, nearly every day from Memorial Day to Labor Day. As a visitor you will be charmed by our small town ambiance, with our parades, fireworks, park concerts, carnivals, sporting competitions, and outdoor farm markets, all to be accompanied by sweet nibbles of Mackinaw Island fudge, ice cream cones and other tasty specialties of the vicinity.
Our closest attraction is the Horton Bay General Store, located (essentially) in our back yard. A mile and a half drive away (or closer by foot), the store is virtually unchanged from its original look when first built in 1876. It's presence within the National Register of Historic Places insures that it will remain so. Horton Bay in total is all but lost in time, kissed by the sleepy atmosphere of yesteryear.
So, if you need a rest from the accelerated pace of daily life, we invite you to come and idle away an hour or two on the large front porch of the same General Store where Ernest Hemingway paused between catching fish in nearby Horton Creek.
It may suit you to come back to a lazier, less complicated time for your next vacation. Let the breeze ruffle your furrowed brow and relax into a calm and restful respite for a spell. If, on the other hand,you crave activity and robust stimulation, we have that as well. Something for everybody here.
Whatever your preference, we invite you to stay at our cottage, which we call the Rest Nest. It will be a visit you will long cherish, of that we have no doubt!
Please, be our guest.
