Poona (Poonah/Pune) Clay Modelling
Image: Poonah figures
Source: Museum Victoria
Poona has a long history of clay modelling, with European travellers noting the sale of clay figures as early as the mid 1700s (Moses, 1750, p. 184). Clay is modelled over a wooden armature, which is attached to a turned wooden base. The figures are painted in naturalistic tones and dressed in fabric clothing. Tools that relate to the occupation of the figure are made from real materials: wads of paper held in the hand of a clerk; bundles of fabric over the shoulder of a cloth dealer; metal needle and cotton thread in the hand of a tailor; and modelled clay pots at the feet of a potter. Headpieces, hair, facial features and shoes are painted on in realistic hues. Occasionally body hair is applied.
Unlike the Krishnanagar figures, which look like portraits of actual people, 'Poonah' figures have a generic appearance. A comparative study of the group of 84 figures in the museum's collection shows a number of similarities in stance that suggest stock figures were created, then individualised through dress. This approach to the manufacture of 'Poonah' figures does not negate their artistry. Mukharji noted 'their superior finish' (1888, p. 73) in his report for the 1888 Glasgow Exhibition, and while 'Poonah' figures might lack the animated, life-like appearance of those from Krishnanagar, the detail of their dress and accoutrements is incredible, easily enabling the identification of occupation or caste represented.

USDA telework apps allow farmers to be out standing in their field
Monday - 4/4/2011, 4:00am EDT
The product of telework doesn't have to be just data generated by a federal employee. The Department of Agriculture is also working to make it mean data generated for them as well.
On Federal News Radio's Ask the CIO, the USDA's Natural Resources and Conservation Service's Gary Washington says as a new generation of farmers comes up, the NRCS is trying to reach them in the field and on their smartphone.
Washington tells executive editor Jason Miller, "what we're trying accomplish is to get conservation on the ground. and what I mean by that is we want to have farmers, our stakeholders, with the ability to be more mobile and spend more time out in the field."
So NRCS is developing apps for mobile devices, "probably be Droids, iPhones, iPads, things of that nature," said Washington.
"That workforce is younger now and more technology savvy and we want to make sure.... they have the opportunity to take advantage of the technology that's available to them."
The apps will include financial assistance and data inputs "for geospatial data that looks at and reviews people's farms so people can do conservation planning on mobile devices" as examples.
Washington said eliminating the paper handling could mow down processing time by 60 to 70 percent.

Students who succeed in the IB Diploma Programme do better than many other groups of students in university level work. IB studies indicate that Diploma Programme students maintained higher grade point averages at universities and earned higher average ACT/ SAT scores than students who had not attended IB schools. The knowledge and skills obtained in the IB Diploma Program clearly prepare students to succeed in higher education.
The Diploma Programme is for more than just high potential students. The most important attributes for success in the IB Diploma Programme are desire, interest and work ethic. The DP is not for the faint of heart. It takes a lot of work. It's most important to be highly organized and highly motivated.
The Diploma Programme curriculum is designed to insure a cohesive, comprehensive education for students, no matter where they live in the world. Students who complete this program are preparing not only for success in college, but for success in life. Students gain a broader world view, follow in-depth approaches to the academic disciplines, and develop time management, problem-solving, research, and organizational skills that will remain with them long after the IB experience is over.
Students self-select to enroll in the IB Diploma Programme for their junior and senior years. To be successful, students must be motivated, self-directed learners willing to work hard and make the most of the academic experiences available to them in high school. If a student is looking forward to coasting through the junior and senior year, DP is probably not a good fit.
We hope that all students challenge themselves in at least one IB course. The course may be in the traditional core subjects or perhaps IB Music, IB Business and Management, IB Studio Art, IB Psychology, or IB Film. The important point is that the vast majority of students will benefit from experiencing at least one college-level course during their high school career, making the most the educational opportunities available to them.

(LOS ANGELES, CA) -- The unbeatable mixture of beautiful Vivid Girls, hot rods and buffed motorcycles combined to bring out more than 500 people to the Bike & Hot Rod Night with the Stars extravaganza at Harper's Sports Bar in Northridge, California, on Monday night.

"This Bike Night was the biggest ever since we began the event last spring," said Vivid sales manager Howard Levine. "There were at least 120 bikes and 40 hot rods, and easily 500 people on hand. We gave away $750 for first place in a wet t shirt contest, $150 for second place and, $100 for third place and there were lots of eager participants. Everybody had a ball."

If you own an EVGA 470, and want a high flow bracket...

Re: If you own an EVGA 470, and want a high flow bracket...
Wow it finally available now? I been watched high flow bracket thread for nearly 3 weeks. Fantastic I will order it now for my EVGA 470 card.
Order completed with paypal for €3.50. Noticed it only offer 1 high flow bracket, it does not bundle with backplate so guess EVGA will sent out high flow brackets first and backplate later. Guess I have to pay another €3.50 shipping handle for the backplate when it available.
Wondering why the EVGA promotion offer for US customers ends 31 August 2010 while the EU customers get offer by end of of 30 June 2010? That 11 days left, I felt that is too short notice for EU customers to missed the offer.

Employee Criminal Background Check It is the policy of the board to only employ individuals who do not have a "disqualifying record." Each offer of employment is subject to the provisions of SDCL 13-10-12, et seq., relating to criminal background investigations. This policy shall apply to all individuals employed for the 2000/2001 school year and thereafter, who were not employed by the district during the preceding school year. An employee is any person the district lists on its payroll and makes payroll deductions pursuant to state or federal law. Each person considered a final applicant for employment shall be provided with a memo to and certification form for completion by the law enforcement agency as provided in Exhibit File GCDB-E/GDDB-E, together with fingerprint identification cards approved by the South Dakota Division of Criminal Investigation, and an envelope, postage prepaid, addressed to the South Dakota Division of Criminal Investigation, 500 East Capitol Avenue, Pierre, South Dakota 57501. The final applicant shall take the fingerprint cards, the memo, and the addressed, stamped envelope to a law enforcement agency and submit to the fingerprinting process. The final applicant must also provide to the law enforcement agency a check or money order made out to the South Dakota Division of Criminal Investigation in the amount of the background check. The final applicant's completed application will be attached to the certification of the law enforcement agency when received. Any person granted employment subject to this policy is employed on a temporary basis conditioned upon no disqualifying report being received from the criminal background investigation. Any disqualifying record will result in immediate termination of employment without further notice or hearing. A "disqualifying record" means any conviction of a crime of violence as defined in SDCL 22-1-2(19), a sex offense as defined in SDCL 22-22-30, or trafficking in narcotics. Conviction of any crime of moral turpitude as defined by SDCL 22-1- 2(25) may constitute a disqualifying record as determined by the board on a case-by-case basis. Any criminal conviction not disclosed by an applicant may be treated as a disqualifying record. Any criminal conviction may be considered in making a hiring decision. An applicant for employment subject to this policy shall provide to the law enforcement agency performing the fingerprint process a check or money order in an amount necessary to cover the costs of the criminal record check. Either Option D or E may be selected, not both. The successful applicant shall be reimbursed the cost for such background check in the event that no disqualifying record is identified after they have been employed by the school district for a period of six months. This policy shall not apply to persons performing services for the district under the authority of the South Dakota High School Activities Association. This policy applies to all other employment agreements, whether written or oral. Use of School Equipment School employees must have permission from the building principal to take school owned equipment off school grounds. Unemployment Benefits Unemployment benefits authorized by SDCL 61-6-1.3 shall not be paid to an individual for any week which contains an established and customary vacation period or a holiday if he/she performs insured work in the period immediately preceding such periods or days and there is reasonable assurance that he/she will perform insured work in the period immediately following such period or days. Lunch Break Classified Staff who eat lunch at school and are on call for work during lunch break need not punch out during the time they eat. Employees who leave the building during lunch must punch out for the total time they were away from their workstation. Work at Two Rates of Pay in Same Week Classified Staff may work at two or more jobs with different rates of pay. Examples could include a bus driver paid one rate for driving time and another rate for waiting time. Should such an employee work hours in excess of 40 in any workweek, the overtime rate will be at one and one-half the regular rate applying in the overtime hours. Grievance Procedure Definitions: The word "grievance" as used in this policy shall mean a complaint by an employee or group of employees based upon an alleged violation, misinterpretation or inequitable application of any existing agreements, contracts, policies, rules or regulations of the school district as they apply to conditions of employment. Negotiations for, or a disagreement over, a nonexistent agreement, contract, policy, rule, or regulation is not a "grievance" and is not subject to this policy. An "aggrieved person" is a person, or persons, injured by the alleged policy violation. Principles: The purpose of this procedure is to secure, at the lowest possible administrative level, equitable solutions to problems, which may arise affecting the welfare or working conditions of district employees. All parties agree that any proceedings shall be kept as informal and confidential as may be appropriate. Structure: Employees shall at their option have the right to be represented at all levels of the grievance procedure by a representative of their choosing. Informal Procedure: If an employee has a grievance, he should first discuss the matter with the principal or supervisor to whom he/she is directly responsible in an effort to resolve the problem informally. Formal Procedure: Level One - School Principal, or other Administrator If an aggrieved person is not satisfied with the disposition of the problem through informal procedures, the grievance shall be submitted in writing to the principal or other administrator. The administrator, within five (5) days of the filing of the grievance shall render a decision in writing to the aggrieved person. Level Two - Superintendent of Schools If the aggrieved person is not satisfied with the decision concerning the grievance at Level One, or if no written decision has been rendered within five (5) days, she/he may, within three (3) days after the decision is rendered, or within eight (8) days after filing at Level One, resubmit the grievance in writing to the superintendent of schools. The superintendent of schools shall within five (5) days from the filing of the written grievance meet with the aggrieved person for the purpose of resolving the grievance. The superintendent shall, within five (5) days after this meeting render a decision in writing to the aggrieved person. Level Three - School Board If the aggrieved is not satisfied with the disposition of the grievance at the superintendent level, or is no written decision has been rendered within five days, he shall within five days thereafter transmit it by letter to the business manager with a statement of reasons why it is being appealed. At the next regular meeting, the board or its designated agent, shall consider the grievance and set a hearing to be held within five days or otherwise investigate the grievance. The board shall make a final decision thereon at the following regular or special board meeting. Department of Labor: If the aggrieved person is not satisfied with the disposition of the grievance at the school board level or if no written decision has been rendered within the time period set forth in the preceding paragraph, he/ she may, within ten days after receipt of the written decision of the board, or within ten days of the date when the decision is due, whichever is earlier, appeal to the Department of Labor, pursuant to SDCL 3-18-15.2. The inclusion of this paragraph in this grievance procedure shall not constitute a waiver by either party of its rights to dispute the authority of the Department of Labor to hear the appeal and/or render any particular decision. Other: If a grievant initiates an action in a duly constituted court of law, this procedural policy shall not be available. Non-reemployment is not subject to the provisions of this grievance procedure. The school board reserves the right to appoint a 3rd party hearing officer to hear grievances on the school board level. Use of Alcohol, Drugs, and Controlled Substances by Employees Student and employee safety is a paramount concern to the School Board. Employees under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or controlled substances are a serious risk to themselves, to students, and to other employees. Therefore, the School Board will not tolerate the unlawful manufacture, use, possession, sale, distribution or being under the influence of drugs or controlled substances. Nor will the Board tolerate the unlawful use of, or being under the influence of alcohol by an on- duty employee. Any employee who violates this policy will be subject to disciplinary action, which may include dismissal. Each employee of the district is hereby notified that, as a condition of employment, the employee must abide by the terms of this policy and will report to the superintendent any criminal drug statute convictions for a violation occurring in or on the premises of this school district, or while engaged in regular employment. Such notification must be made by the employee to the superintendent no later than five days after conviction. Within ten (10) days after the superintendent receives such notification in any school district receiving direct federal aid the superintendent will report the violation to the United States Department of Education and in all cases report the violation to the State Superintendent. Thirty days after receipt of information concerning a violation of this policy the district will take appropriate disciplinary action which may include termination of employment or may require the employee to participate in drug abuse assistance or rehabilitation programs. All employees will attend a district drug-free awareness program at which employees will be informed about the dangers of drug abuse in the workplace; this policy of maintaining a drug- free workplace; available drug counseling; rehabilitation, and employee assistance programs; and the penalties that may be imposed upon employees for drug abuse violations occurring in the workplace. The School Board recognizes that employees who have a drug abuse problem should be encouraged to seek professional assistance. An employee who requests assistance shall be referred to a treatment facility or agency in the community if such a facility or agency is available. When an on-duty staff member has consumed alcoholic beverages or illegal drugs off of school property and/or before a school activity, the staff member may not be allowed on school property or to participate in school activities. Staff members who violate this regulation may be subject to the same penalties as for possession or consumption on school property. The School Board hereby commits itself to a continuing good faith effort to maintain a drug-free workplace. A copy of this policy shall be given to all present and future employees. Drug and Alcohol Abuse Policy for CDL Drivers Overview: De Smet School District shall provide a safe and productive work environment for all bus drivers. It is the policy of this school district that all bus drivers shall not be involved with the unlawful use, possession or sale of drugs, alcohol or any controlled substance in any manner, which may impair their ability to perform assigned duties or otherwise adversely impact the duties of bus driving. Further, no driver shall possess alcoholic beverages in the workplace or consume alcohol beverages in association with the workplace, during working time or at any time, which impairs that person's ability to perform their duties. It is the School District's stance against alcohol and drug abuse in the workplace that it is not a "moral" issue; rather, it is an issue that affects health, safety, families and job performance. Bus Drivers are under Federal Regulations to participate in a drug free program including urine testing for drugs and breath alcohol testing. Scope: This document describes the current policy and practice of De Smet School District and will be interpreted, administered and amended by the School District within its discretion. This policy covers all applicants (including rehires), current employees (including temporary) and any subcontract labor. Policy: It is De Smet School District's policy to achieve a drug free bus force and to provide a workplace that is free from the use of illegal drugs, controlled substances and alcohol abuse. The School District will also follow all Federal, State or Local regulations requiring drug and alcohol testing of any bus driver (DOT regulation of CDL Drivers).

Switching or adulterating any urine sample submitted for testing, or submitting a false sample for testing. 7. Refusing to consent to a drug or alcohol test when required by the School District.

Each offer of employment shall be conditional upon the successful completion of a test for illegal drugs, controlled substances and alcohol use as prescribed by the School District. Whenever reasonable suspicion of any employee using or having used an illegal drug, controlled substance or alcohol use as prescribed by this policy, the School District may require that the employee submit to a urine drug and/or breath test. Employees must sign an approved waiver authorizing the release of test results to De Smet School District and their designated drug and alcohol testing agencies. Any Department of Transportation required drug urine sample shall be split into two (2) samples called a "split-sample". The sample will be split into two (2) vials, labeled, secured and sealed in direct view of the person providing the sample. Any analysis of the split-sample due to a positive sampling of the first vial must be requested at the time the medical review officer makes contact with the person or within 72 hours of the medical review officer's contact. Random tests shall be done without exception throughout the calendar year. No preset limits will be placed on the percent of employees tested each year and any percent may change without notice to the employees. Federal requirements are set at a minimum and each year the number of employees tested randomly will be at least the required amounts set by any Federal regulatory agency. Drug tests shall be conducted on the following basis: 1. Pre-employment 2. Upon any transfer to a safety sensitive position 3. In the event of an accident, near-accident or incident of any personnel 4. Supervisory suspicion that an employee is unfit for duty 5. Random Consequences for Violations: Violation of this policy may result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination at the Districts discretion. In the event of a first time positive urine drug test or alcohol breath test the following steps will be taken: 1. The employee shall be suspended without pay for one week. 2. The employee must meet with an approved alcohol counselor of his/her choice for a chemical dependency evaluation. Refusal to cooperate or remit a completed chemical dependency evaluation to the School District Superintendent will result in immediate termination. 3. Employees shall be screened monthly at a random basis for twelve (12) to sixty (60) months. Follow-up tests, counseling, or treatment will be the direct expense of the employee. In the event of a second time positive urine drug test or alcohol breath test, the employee shall be terminated drug tests shall be conducted on the following basis: Education/Training Programs: All bus drivers shall receive training regarding a drug free workplace consisting of the effects and consequences of use of drugs in the workplace. Documentation of each seminar or training session shall be maintained by the Drug Contact Person within the School District. All supervisory personnel must attend educational sessions on the effects and consequences of use of drugs in the workplace along with training on detection of employees with a chemical abuse. Training sessions will be arranged through the School District and each supervisor will attend the sessions as required by any Federal regulatory agency.

Employee Communicable Diseases The board recognizes its responsibility to provide a clean and healthy environment for students and school employees. The determination of whether an infected employee be excluded from work activities shall be made on a case-by-case basis, under the direction of the district superintendent or designee. In situations where the decision requires additional knowledge and expertise, the superintendent will refer the case to an advisory committee for assistance in determining the proper course of action. The advisory committee may be composed of a representative from the State Health Department, the employee's physician, the employee and/or designee, the county health nurse, the superintendent or designee and other appropriate personnel. In making the determination, the advisory committee shall consider the physical condition of the school employee, the expected type(s) of interaction with others in the school setting, the impact on both the infected school employee and others in that setting, the South Dakota Department of Health guidelines and policies, the status of certification of the employee as is promulgated in SDCL 13-43-3 and SDCL 13-43-3.3., the recommendation of the County Health Officer, which may be controlling, and information regarding the infected employee which is deemed part of his/her personnel records, therefore is classified as "Confidential" as required by SDCL 1-27-3. The advisory committee may officially request assistance from the State Department of Health. If employment of an infected employee is to be interrupted or discontinued, the employee will be entitled to use available medical leave and receive available benefits. Public information will not be revealed about the employee who may be infected. If the employee is permitted to remain in the school setting the following procedure will be followed by the principal: Information will be provided, as appropriate to school employees who have regular contact with the employee, as to the employee's medical condition and other factors needed for consideration in carrying out job responsibilities. Health guidelines for work attendance are established and interpreted within the context of the case. The guidelines are not inclusive but are available to be used as a resource. School personnel will refer to school health professionals for specific judgments in interpreting the guidelines. Instructions in appropriate handling of blood and body fluids will be provided. Hand washing after contamination, food preparation and health/hygiene care performed in different sink and work areas, maintenance cleaning and other personal hygiene measures are part of creating a healthy environment. Specific health concerns may require the advisory committee to make a determination on school attendance or participation in school activities. See School Board Policy Handbook for additional information. Sexual Harassment Policy It is the district's policy that sexual harassment is illegal, unacceptable and shall not be tolerated; that no employee or student of the school district may sexually harass another. Any employee or student will be subject to disciplinary action including possible termination for violation of this policy. Definition Any unwelcome sexual advance, solicitation or sexual activity by promise of rewards, coercion of sexual activity by threat of punishment, verbal sexist remarks, or physical sexual assaults constitutes sexual harassment. This conduct has the effect of unreasonably interfering with an individual's academic or work performance or of creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive employment or educational environment regardless of intent. Responsibility School district officers, employees and students are responsible for maintaining a working and learning environment free from sexual harassment. Careful scrutiny will be undertaken of all allegations of sexual harassment. False allegations that are malicious or ill founded may constitute libel or slander. Copies of this policy will be available at all administrative offices. Complaints Any employee who believes that he or she has been a subject of sexual harassment by a district employee or officer should report this incident immediately to his/her immediate supervisor. If the immediate supervisor is involved in the activity, the violation should be reported to the supervisor's immediate supervisor. Students should report such incidents to the guidance counselor and/or the responsible administrator. All reported incidents will be thoroughly investigated and subject to disciplinary action. Confidentiality consistent with due process will be maintained. If an employee or student files a written complaint because of dissatisfaction with the handling of the complaint, he or she may utilize any applicable grievance procedure. Prohibition Against Retaliation The District strictly prohibits retaliation against any employee or student because he or she has made a report of alleged sexual harassment, or against any employee or student who has testified, assisted, or participated in the investigation of a report. Retaliation includes, but is not limited to, any form of intimidation, reprisal, or adverse pressure, including the accused discussing the allegations directly with the accuser except where such discussion has been arranged and facilitated by the appropriate administrator. Retaliation is itself a violation of federal and state laws prohibiting discrimination and may lead to separate disciplinary action against the offender.

Bigsoâ¿¢ Translucent Office Storage Boxes 11 11
Bigso Translucent Boxes My 15 Bigso boxes, 7 large and 8 small, provide an attractive clutter-free and dust-free storage area in our home. Some are used in shelving units in the living room; others are in bedroom closets. I can easily fiind items I need. They were shipped to me in appropriately sized cartons with plenty of shipping materials. They arrived in perfect condition. March 18, 2015
Great Boxes! I bought these for my grandchildren to store their priceless art work. Great size, value and construction! May 1, 2012
Scrapbook Savers These boxes are a wonderful and fairly inexpensive way to store scrapbook supplies. Being able to collect all my paper in one area, and then stickers/embellishments, etc. into another couple of boxes that I can not only label; but, also see inside has made my crafting time, even more fun and relaxing. March 19, 2012
Great storage for puzzles! I bought these to store puzzles in my prek class. The orginal boxes had worn out and I find that these are great and don't fall apart- Especially with lots of little hands using them! Since they are clear, the kids know what is inside. I just cut out the final puzzle image and taped it to the front. Perfect! February 20, 2012
See it, use it. This is the best thing to store paper for any craft. You can easily see the colors stored in it. Stacked by twos and organized on a shelf they look great too. Add a few color boxes of similar size to add a pop here and there -- you'll be very pleased with they way your organized work area looks. Everything put away, but easily identified. May 1, 2011
Nice for the price. These translucent storage boxes are just fine for storing papers. I do like the fact you can see into the box without opening. March 20, 2011
I am a teacher and need papers organized--it does what it needs to just fine! February 2, 2011
Love the Translucent Office Storage Boxes The Translucent Office Storage Boxes are an essential in my office. Perfect for organizing projects and storing documents. Not only that they look fantastic....clean, neat and contemporary. These boxes are strong too and I love the labeling detail. January 13, 2011
Lightweight, sturdy, and really attractive I have a lipstick red bookshelf in my office and had difficulty finding attractive storage boxes to use on it that wouldn't clash with the color. These translucent boxes look GREAT, and after regular use for a couple of weeks they are holding up very well. I'm so happy with them that I soon plan to buy some translucent CD and DVD boxes. May 4, 2010
Great organizational tool I purchased several of these in an effort to revamp and reorganize my very small office and it definitely did the trick. They are a great size, not too small or too large, they look neat and streamlined, and they make my office look better and my head feel less cluttered! April 12, 2010
one a year I use these boxes as memory boxes for the children's school stuff. It's easy to throw everything in one box, dated with the grade and year. Every once in a while, we take them off the shelf and take a trip down memory lane. February 23, 2010

My babies were born at home! 09/07, 01/10, and 09/12
We are Jewish and looking at Jewish summer camps and day schools. Do any Jewish mamas have experience with a religious exemption and their child's Jewish school?
|Would the exemption have to be reviewed by each summer camp/day car/school we consider or attempt to enroll?
|NY is an all or nothing state, correct? As in, we can't agree to certain vaccines and refuse others...
|If we don't get the exemption, would DD need to be fully vaxed in 6 months or is there any leeway in the NY vaccine schedule?

SAN ANTONIO -- Alamo Colleges has removed all automated external defibrillators from its campuses after administrators decided the life-saving devices were not being used properly.
The devices were removed during the summer of 2012.The decision was not made public until Monday, after KENS 5 contacted the colleges' media relations department.
I don't think that's good, that's for emergency purposes, said second-year San Antonio College student Katie Sundberg.
A spokesperson for the five campuses said most of the AEDs were not properly maintained and staff members had not been trained how to use them correctly.
Alamo Colleges owns between 13 -16 AEDs, which usually cost between $1,000 and $3,000 each.
Texas passed a law in 2007 requiring AEDs at all elementary, middle and high schools.The law does not apply to public colleges.
According to an Alamo Colleges spokesperson, a commission has been formed to decide how to reimplement the devices and train staff members on how to use them.

Your league sort of sidesteps that and just basically lets people move themselves up the ladder by challenging and sets it so that people have no penalty for losing. You challenge a guy higher than you and you lose then that doesn't matter. You accept a challenge from a guy lower than you and then you only move down one spot. It definitely would be the way to encourage the most matches and in the end that really is the point of a ladder.
It is pretty interesting that the delcastle ladder that alegare plays in uses the same method where there isn't really a downside to losing any match.
It seems like in one the players are self-selected by level and in the other it is one big ladder. I guess in the beginning one ladder would have to make due just to give people players to play against. Thanks for the input.
You're required to play at least one match every two weeks or you fall to the bottom behind the players that did play a match. So no matter where you're seeded, you don't play, you don't stay. That is that whole point of the ladder in my opinion, so I think you have got to have that in there.
So if you're highly ranked, you'll likely be taking a lower ranked challenger. The guys that are annoying to me - and it's tough to know exactly who they are - are the ones that don't respond to an email if you're the guy who joined late or are sitting at #35 just because of the initial drawing for position. But I can honestly say that I've never been unable to find another match with somebody.
The other setup I like with the one I cited is that the window for challenges ratchets down as the year goes on. During the first four weeks, anybody can challenge anybody and move up an unlimited number of spots. Towards the end of the season, it's a 10 spot move max. So while #45 could play #1 the last day of the season, if #45 wins, he only moves to #35.
Also, in regards to your comment about no penalty for losing, I think there actually is. If you're higher ranked and you lose, you fall one spot. If you're lower ranked an lose, you're not penalized, but other people who did win their match could jump ahead of you.
Lastly, if you have enough people to do it, I would definitely keep the ladders dedicated to NTRP ratings. I don't think it's much fun for either player to have to play a guy that's a solid 0.5-1.0 lower than the opponent. My guess is that it takes time to build a solid ladder, and it will be less successful if players aren't having fun. So getting similar ability players together (which is what NTRP ratings
do) is the best way to do it.

The Magazine
The Edwards File
Beneath that slick exterior is a genuine sleazebag.
Mar 1, 2010, Vol. 15, No. 23 • By DEBRA J. SAUNDERS
The Politician
An Insider's Account of John Edwards's Pursuit of the Presidency and the Scandal That Brought Him Down
I never want to hear again how scary it was that Sarah Palin almost became vice president.
Now that I've read Andrew Young's exposé, The Politician, I can only sigh in relief that Edwards's presidential bid tanked in 2008. Likewise the Democratic ticket after John Kerry drafted him in 2004. Didn't Kerry understand that his shallow running mate eschewed briefing books, was preoccupied with his looks, and overly ambitious yet woefully inexperienced? Sure, Edwards was good-looking and could deliver a peppy speech, but he was also narcissistic, unprepared for the White House, and his worldview was distorted by supporters who worshipped him with cult-like devotion.
Ah, but you see, Kerry was so desperate to win the general election that he stooped to picking a man whom he had to know was constitutionally unsuited to be a heartbeat away from the presidency.
I picked up The Politician because I wanted the answer to two questions. First, could it be true, as John Heilemann and Mark Halperin assert in Game Change, that Edwards's staff considered him "sorta asexual," and that they were shocked to discover that he would get caught cheating on Elizabeth Edwards? Not according to Young, who writes that he had seen Edwards flirt inappropriately, pocket notes from groupies at events, and heard rumors about "extramarital affairs"—which he chose not to believe. Second, how did Edwards get Young, a law school graduate, to claim to be the father of the baby his mistress Rielle Hunter was carrying? The Politician rolls out the craven decisions this son of a politically connected preacher made to become indispensable to Edwards.
As the "body man" for Edwards, "I didn't talk unless he wanted to talk, and I learned to say, 'Yes, sir' to every request he ever made. 'No' wasn't in my vocabulary." In time, Young became the man Elizabeth Edwards called to oversee housing repairs, to help with the Christmas shopping, register the Edwardses to vote. He even allowed Edwards to use his name to register for extensive dental work and plastic surgery to remove a mole from his upper lip.
As Young began to cross ethical lines, he told himself that the demeaning tasks he was called upon to perform would allow him to be a part of history, as he was convinced that someday John Edwards would be president and Andrew Young would be serving by his side.
Yet by Young's own account, Edwards clearly lacked the gravitas one would hope for in a president: He notoriously ignored the briefing books staffers labored to produce, and he liked to "watch stupid movies like Tommy Boy." Edwards decided to enter politics not simply because of the tragic death of his son Wade, but after watching The American President starring Michael Douglas.
Young's Edwards was never happy as a senator. He burned through five chiefs of staff in six years. Having been elected to the Senate in 1998 he felt no responsibility to master the job before lobbying to become Al Gore's running mate in 2000. In courting Kerry, Edwards said he would tell the Yankee senator a story that no one knew—about embracing Wade's body at the medical examiner's office. "Kerry was stunned and put off because Edwards had actually shared the same tale with him more than once."
Mrs. Edwards debuts as a loving wife and mother, as well as shrewd political adviser with a natural's touch for appealing to voters. She once promised to chauffeur a woman who had been Wade's friend to truck-driving class. (Young ended up doing the driving.) After Young supervised Edwards's Senate staffers, who were moving possessions Elizabeth Edwards didn't trust to a moving company, Young writes, "Instead of thanks, I received a grilling about buying beer and pizza for the volunteers who met me to unload." Her behavior devolved after she answered a ringing cell phone left in her husband's luggage, only to hear how much Rielle Hunter missed her husband.
By this time, Young later realized, he no longer saw the Edwardses "clearly. In fact, I was willing to imagine they had positive qualities they didn't actually possess and overlook their flaws and mistakes, because I needed them to succeed." He was hooked. Over-mortgaged and seduced by the access to fame he had acquired—flying in private jets and hanging out with Hootie and the Blowfish and the Dave Matthews Band, chit-chatting with Ted Kennedy—by the time Edwards asked Young to say he was Quinn Hunter's father he had invested too much in Edwards to watch him fail.
As one who saw Edwards as a smarmy lightweight, I nonetheless was drawn in by Young's valet's eye view of this man who would be president. Once, Young lent Edwards his car; the senator backed it into another car and left a dent in Young's new Chevrolet Suburban without telling him, or offering to pay for the damage. The dent became "a reminder of John Edwards's sense of entitlement," Andrew Young's vehicular proof that no man is a hero to his valet.
But a man can be a hero to someone else's valet. Of Erskine Bowles, Young writes, "I admired his intelligence and honesty and the fact that he refused to let me help him bring his luggage and golf clubs inside." Rielle Hunter fares less well in Young's judgment, especially in light of her shabby treatment after she moved in with Young, his wife Cheri, and their three children, and the entourage embarked on a surreal months-long odyssey from private jet to luxury hotel to Aspen superhome in order to bolster a charade that no one but Elizabeth Edwards believed. If she believed. Young never does explain exactly when he began saving text messages, voicemail, and (we now know) the infamous sex tape, although in their last confrontation, Young told Edwards that he had begun keeping notes "almost every day since I began working for him."
Did Young begin thinking he was drafting a diary for history, or as critics suggest, fodder for a book deal?
"What happened to loyalty?" a CNN talking head recently asked as she repeated the standard refrain about Andrew Young. To read The Politician is to understand that, after sacrificing his time, reputation, and his very employability, Andrew Young owes John and Elizabeth Edwards nothing.

One approach to studying the brain rather than working on the whole thing at once is to examine small bits of it. With that in mind, researchers at the Tissue Engineering Resource Center at Tufts University, Boston have developed a three-dimensional brain-like tissue that is structurally similar to living rat brain tissue, functions enough like it for experimental purposes, and one that scientists have been able to keep alive for up to two months.

Protesters 'curse' Thai premier
January 16, 2009
Thai Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva was met Friday at the country's Teacher's Council by protesters performing a cursing ritual.
About a dozen members of the Sanam Luang Democracy Group, an apparent splinter group of the United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship, roasted chilis and salt outside of the council's headquarters Friday, MCOT.net reported Friday.
The protesters said they chose to perform the cursing ritual instead of throwing eggs at Abhisit because they feared the action could drive up food prices.
The prime minister was surrounded by security guards when he entered and exited the building, MCOT said.
