Shuttle Launch Tonight Iffy, Friday Off
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — NASA officials hoped an opening in the cloud cover would allow space shuttle Discovery to lift off Thursday for the first night launch in four years, starting a complex mission to rewire the international space station.
Despite just a 40 percent chance of favorable weather at the 9:35 p.m. EST launch time, Discovery's seven astronauts donned their orange spacesuits and boarded the van for the trip to the launch pad. While her crew mates suited up, Sunita Williams, who will stay at the space station for six months, jokingly did bodybuilder muscle poses for the camera.
Earlier in the afternoon, the astronauts – five of whom are going to space for the first time – toasted each other with water at a pre-launch meal.
As dusk arrived, launch controllers grew more concerned about high winds, although they were slightly more optimistic about getting a break in the clouds.
If the space shuttle didn't get off the ground Thursday night, NASA likely would wait until Saturday before trying again. The Friday forecast was even worse, with only a 10 percent chance for launching.
"Unless the weather changes, which in case you haven't noticed has been observed to occur in Florida from time to time … I doubt we would even try to tank tomorrow if we don't make it for today," NASA Administrator Michael Griffin told The Associated Press on Thursday.
Not only was the sky thick with clouds over Kennedy Space Center, but the weather wasn't favorable at the shuttle's three emergency landing sites in Spain and France. NASA won't launch unless one of those sites has good weather.
Too many clouds prevent the necessary observation of the shuttle during its ascent, and the shuttle commander needs visibility if an emergency landing is required.
The best opportunity for launching over the next several days was Tuesday, said shuttle weather forecaster Matt Timmermann.
At the beginning of next week, "we see an improving trend," he said. "The winds get lighter and it gets drier."
During the 12-day mission, Discovery's astronauts will rewire the space station, bring up a new 2-ton addition to the space lab and rotate out one of the three crew members at the space station.
NASA had required daylight liftoffs for the three launches after the 2003 Columbia accident to make sure the agency could get good daytime photos of the external fuel tank in case debris fell from it during launch. Foam breaking off the tank and striking Columbia's wing at liftoff caused the damage that led to the disaster that killed seven astronauts.
But NASA officials were comfortable with the acceptable levels of foam loss during the last two liftoffs and believe radar will be able to spot pieces falling from Discovery's tank.
Griffin said he felt no pressure to stick to the launch schedule, despite NASA's desire to go up before Dec. 17 so that Discovery is back on the ground for the new year. Shuttle computers aren't designed to make the change from the 365th day of the old year to the first day of the new year while in flight. The space agency has figured out a solution for the New Year's Day problem, but managers are reluctant to try it if they don't have to do so.
If Discovery is still grounded by Dec. 18, NASA may decide to keep trying anyway through Dec. 26.
"We've got days and days, and we're not even worrying about the clock problem," Griffin said. "The clock problem is an annoyance but it's not a real problem in the sense that we know how to deal with it."

Assassin's Creed III
FINALLY got 100% of the core achievements! Awesome game (spoiler free)
Took roughly 40 hours but I got it! Good thing is that most of them were actually really enjoyable, you get to experience the already awesome atmosphere and world in more depth than if you just focused on the main campaign. But that's not to say it didn't have its share of obnoxious achievements and challenges.
Awesome game though, this is exactly what the series needed. AC1 was amazing for the time that it came out despite being heavily flawed. AC2 was almost perfect, definitely in my top 5 games of all time. AC: Brotherhood was a ton of fun but significantly less exciting because it just felt way too similar to AC2. AC: Revelations followed that trend too and made it even less interesting than before, on top of that the conclusion to a character as awesome as Ezio was such a letdown.
This game was a huge breath of fresh air. New time period, new location, new characters, new ideas like the naval missions, etc. Even the multiplayer feels really polished.
I agree this is my fav assassins creed I find the setting to be amazing. But I despise revelations. I thought that game was such garbage.
I would agree except for the fact that the game's ending, at least in "present day" is absolutely terrible. They pulled a "Mass Effect 3" and basically gave you a thrown together jumble that made little sense, gave you no real choice in anything, and wasn't really faithful to the themes of the earlier games.
Other than that though, the game was amazing, and unlike ME3 I'm hoping there will be future games to remedy/build upon where this one left off instead of making us accept it at face value.

Giving Chutzpah New Meaning
What do you do when somebody wants to publish a book that says you're completely wrong? If you're Alan Dershowitz, the prominent Harvard law professor, and the book is Norman Finkelstein's Beyond Chutzpah: On the Misuse of Anti-Semitism and the Abuse of History, you write the governor of California and suggest that he intervene with the publisher--because the publisher is the University of California Press, which conceivably might be subject to the power of the governor.
Schwarzenegger, showing unusual wisdom, declined to act. The governor's legal affairs secretary wrote Dershowitz, "You have asked for the Governor's assistance in preventing the publication of this book," but "he is not inclined to otherwise exert influence in this case because of the clear, academic freedom issue it presents." In a phone interview Dershowitz denied writing to the Governor, declaring, "My letter to the Governor doesn't exist." But when pressed on the issue, he said, "It was not a letter. It was a polite note."
Old-timers in publishing said they'd never heard of another case where somebody tried to get a governor to intervene in the publication of a book. "I think it's a first," said Andre Schiffrin, managing director at Pantheon Books for twenty-eight years and then founder and director of the New Press. Lynne Withey, director of the University of California Press, where she has been for nineteen years, said, "I've never heard of such a case in California."
But if you're Alan Dershowitz, you don't stop when the governor declines. You try to get the president of the University of California to intervene with the press. You get a prominent law firm to send threatening letters to the counsel to the university regents, to the university provost, to seventeen directors of the press and to nineteen members of the press's faculty editorial committee. A typical letter, from Dershowitz's attorney Rory Millson of Cravath, Swaine & Moore, describes "the press's decision to publish this book" as "wholly illegitimate" and "part of a conspiracy to defame" Dershowitz. It concludes, "The only way to extricate yourself is immediately to terminate all professional contact with this full-time malicious defamer." Dershowitz's own letter to members of the faculty editorial committee calls on them to "reconsider your decision" to recommend publication of the book.
Why would a prominent First Amendment advocate take such an action? Dershowitz told Publishers Weekly that "my goal has never been to stop publication of this book." He told me in an e-mail, "I want Finkelstein's book to be published, so that it can be demolished in the court of public opinion." He told Publishers Weekly his only purpose in writing the people at the University of California Press was "to eliminate as many of the demonstrable falsehoods as possible" from the book before it was published.
Everyone knows who Alan Dershowitz is--the famed Harvard professor, part of the O.J. Simpson defense team, author of the number-one bestseller Chutzpah, portrayed by Ron Silver in the film Reversal of Fortune, about his successful defense of accused wife-murderer Klaus von Bülow. He's also one of the most outspoken defenders of Israel, especially in his 2003 book The Case for Israel; it reached number twelve on the New York Times bestseller list. That's the book Finkelstein challenges in Beyond Chutzpah.
Norman Finkelstein is not so famous. The son of Holocaust survivors, he is an assistant professor of political science at DePaul University in Chicago. He's the often embattled author of several books, of which the best known is The Holocaust Industry: Reflections on the Exploitation of Jewish Suffering--an exposé of what he calls "the blackmail of Swiss banks." It was originally published by Verso in 2000, with an expanded second edition in 2003, and has been translated into seventeen languages. The book was reviewed in the New York Times Book Review by the distinguished Holocaust historian Omer Bartov, who holds a chair at Brown University; he wrote that the book "is filled with precisely the kind of shrill hyperbole that Finkelstein rightly deplores in much of the current media hype over the Holocaust; it is brimming with the same indifference to historical facts, inner contradictions, strident politics and dubious contextualizations; and it oozes with the same smug sense of moral and intellectual superiority." (A positive review, written by Neve Gordon, appeared in these pages on November 13, 2000.)

Oscar-winning superhero films are rare to non-existent.
Aside from Heath Ledger's posthumous Oscar for Best Supporting Actor in 2009 for 'The Dark Knight', it's a genre that is roundly ignored by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
But the makers of 'The Dark Knight Rises' appear to be confronting this fact head on.
[Related story: Dark Knight Rises stars talk Oscar chances]
[Related story: 'Zero love' for TDKR from Oscar judges]
This week's issue of Hollywood industry magazine Variety boasts a full-page 'for your consideration' advert for the final film in Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy.
The ads, which aim to attract the attention of Oscar voters, are usually emblazoned with persuasive and gushing quotes from the press about the particular film being offered up.
And the ad for 'The Dark Knight Rises' conforms to type, with quotes from Time magazine and the Los Angeles Times laid over an arty shot from the film.
Earlier this year, cast-members spoke to Yahoo! UK about the prospects of the film in awards season.
Morgan Freeman was emphatic when asked if it should win an Oscar, saying: "It should yes, don't you think so? It's the most extraordinary of three extraordinary pictures, and yes I think it should get a nomination."
Nolan was more guarded, saying: "Our focus and the thing we worry about with this film is trying to fulfil expectations. That's pressure enough."
But it appears that Warner Bros. now has a different focus, with its 'for your consideration' ad gunning for as many nominations as it can get.
Nolan's 'The Dark Knight' was the most-nominated superhero film of all time, getting eight nods in all, but if 'The Dark Knight Rises' hopes to win in 2013, it will have its work cut out.
Favourites for Best Picture are likely to include 'The Master', 'Lincoln', 'Argo', 'Les Miserables', 'Life of Pi' and 'Beasts of the Southern Wild', with their respective directors also in the running for the helmsman gong too.
It's tough — possibly insurmountable — competition, but if there's a superhero film that could pull it off this year, 'The Dark Knight Rises' is probably it.

The world of Howler's sophomore album
By Zach McCormick
If combustible yet controlled rock has taught us that you can plan an accident, dance music can make serendipity sound preordained. "My approach to sampling has taken [on] another meaning in the last 2 years," writes Marc Leclair, a.k.a. Akufen, in the liner notes to My Way, his debut album. "I've realized that most of the sampling artists out there were in fact robbing the actual hooks of valued parts of the tracks." So as both a corrective to Puffyesque hook swiping and a way of keeping himself challenged, Leclair decided to do things more randomly. The Montreal house producer began waking up and recording his dial twists on his regular and shortwave radio tuners, turning the most striking sound jumbles---static, music, voices, whatever came over the transom---into finished tracks.
Sounds abstract and boring, doesn't it? Well, you're half right. It's true that too often, the "glitch" approach in dance music comes across more like aimless channel-surfing than as a sort of idealized information overload. But Akufen proves a major exception. My Way merges two of house's more conceptual recent strains: the grainy, dub-happy "microhouse" of German labels like Kompakt and Perlon; and the fast-darting cut-and-snipped sample fantasias of the religiously minded New Jersey garage producer Todd Edwards.
Akufen has recorded for Perlon, and "Installation," a kind of creeping, photosynthetic groove that keeps moving even when it seems to stand still, sticks close to that model. But "Even White Horizons," which recalls early Nineties ambient techno at its best, has an itchy sense of impending breakout about it. So when "Skidoos," which recalls the autumnal grace of 808 State's "Pacific," gradually reveals the sample sputters from Leclair's airwave nickings, the stage is set for full-on ecstatic rupture.
That's what you get with the bulk of the album. Tracks like "Deck the House" and "Wet Floors" take Edwards's sample approach--dozens of snippets threaded together like a string of paper dolls in different shapes and colors---even further into the abstract. "Late Night Munchies" is a ten-minute tour de force of suspension and release, balancing a small handful of sound shards--glittering chimes, piano tinkle, dozens of unidentifiable clicks and clanks--over an insistent beat. By the time the album ends, with the pulsating "My Way," the randomized sounds have subsided, only to come out for an appropriately slaphappy encore. They sound exhausted, and I can't say I blame them.

My husband is from England and we have a 1 year old son together. We have just received a letter of denial from USCIS. We understand this is because of some papers we sent to them went missing in the mail. He has been told he has 30 days to leave the country. We are filing an appeal. Is there anything else that we can do?
No, not anymore you can do. The service says they are not responsible for lost mail not reaching them. However, if you can prove the service rec'd the information, (certified mail receipt showing they signed for the info you sent) it, is to your advantage in getting the case re-opened. if the case should go to an immigratoin judge, be prepared to show a hardship case to you and your son should he be removed from the United States.
I am going thru the same process..its really hard, I am always scared that they are going to knock on the door and just take him away...

This is a split board - You can return to the Split List for other boards.
Games that you think that gets more praise than they actually deserve.
I think Skyrim personally. It is a great game but does not deserve the credit it got. I found the story boring and the world felt pretty empty (in terms of people) outside a few settlements. I liked it but after playing it through most and doing most of the quests I put it away. I played it PS3 so by the time the dlc came I had already stopped playing.

The game is only as hard as you are impatient. :P
the walking dead
even compared to other games that i would agree with as being overrated (any given naughty dog game, ocarina of time, FF7, etc.), i can, to an extent, at least understand where people come from when they say they love the game and give it praise. the walking dead however, i just dont get it
the story sucks, forces you to suspend disbelief from several scenarios that could have only happened out of divine intervention, and punishes you with moral absolutism BS towards the end of the game
despite being the selling point of the game, not a single choice you make matters at all or has any lasting impact. choice A might technically be different than choice B, but regardless of what you choose you will converge back to a single story line that was never yours to change like telltale leads you to believe. if an event doesnt occur now, it sure as hell will happen later. you just delay the inevitable.
it costs too much. for such little content with 0 replay value, the asking price of 25 bucks is way too much.
and the fact that it got GOTY from so many people. does anything else need to be said? im sure everyone on this board could field another dozen games from the same year that were better (objectively or otherwise) in every way possible, from story to gameplay to even the cost.
the very existance of this game and the ridiculous amounts of unjust praise it gets causes my blood to boil. it is THE most overrated game ever made and i will hear no one say otherwise.

This topic of course is about opinions, so no need for animosity.
Coming at a game about its gameplay when its more about the story doesn't make any sense. Nobody ever praises TWD for its gameplay...
Dragon Age: Origins. I will never understand why people praise it so much, when it is such a terrible game. It makes me wonder if I should play Dragon Age 2 considering how much hate that game gets, it probably means it's far better.
I smolder with generic rage.

DA 2 is the biggest cash grab I have ever seen. Origins is one of my favorite games of all time and the second one felt like a slap in the face.
CoD. I can't stand the randomness of certain places that have endlessly spawning enemies and all you have to do is cross some magical barrier vs. the places the game wants you to sit back and eliminate a finite amount of enemies. I know that's nitpicky, but it's been my biggest issue with the entire series.

The area has a typically Spanish atmosphere and comprises of three distinct areas, the historic town with its white houses and cobbled streets, the port area with marina, promenade, tapas bars and a clean pebble beach, and finally the popular Arenal beach area with its many shops, boutiques, bars and excellent restaurants. The impressive Blue Flag sandy beach with sunbeds, parasols and children's play areas, is within a few minutes walk from Golden Beach 2. At night El Arenal comes to life with a range of entertainment for all the family. During the summer months craft stalls light up the promenade selling a wide variety of goods and there is a small fair for children not far from the apartment.
Javea is half an hour drive from Benidorm with its many attactions including Terra MItica theme park with its thrilling rides, Aqualandia water park (open from mid May to October) also Mundomar with its exotic birds, animals incorporating dolphin and seal shows. To the north is the Montgo National Park and beyond is Denia with its historic castle, deligthful town centre and busy port offering day trips to the Balearic Islands. Inland in the mountains is the beautiful village of Guadalest and the waterfalls of Algar.

I find the reference to the décor as 70s quite offensive as it was decorated to modern standards in 2006. The sofas are not vinyl they are leather. I do not see the problem with the television as it works and has all Sky programmes etc.

"Nice clean apartment, close to the beach, bars and shops."
The owner Liz was very helpful and booking the apartment was an easy process and good value for money. The apartment was clean, tidy and very spacious. The weather was a bit up and down for March so we didn't make use of the surrounding gardens with the pool but it looked very pretty when we walked around. The location is good, supermarket next door and close to the beach, bars and shops. An ideal place for couples or families.

Jewish Leaders Meet With Obama
And everyone seems impressed
President Obama met yesterday with 16 leaders of 14 major U.S. Jewish groups, including the counterposed Israel advocacy lobbies, AIPAC and J-Street. In a bid to reassure those who have argued that his Middle East policy is one-sided, or focused too much on pressuring Israel to halt settlement construction in the West Bank and focusing too little on thwarting Iran's nuclear ambitions, Obama seems to have emerged with nothing but favorable media coverage. Ironically, the media is precisely what Obama blamed for this perceived policy imbalance.
Jeremy Ben-Ami, executive director of J Street, wrote on the lobby's blog that "[i]t was made clear to the President and his team the strong support that exists among American Jews and the broader public for a strong push to end the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, for a two-state solution, and for a regional and comprehensive approach to the peace process." The left-leaning M.J. Rosenberg at TPM Café added: "When one of the main rightwingers told Obama that he should keep his differences with the Israelis private, Obama said that had not worked in the past and he'll go the public route." And Lynn Sweet at The Chicago Sun-Times reports: "According to a source familiar with what occurred at the 45-minute meeting who briefed me, Obama said that he was pushing Arab and Palestinian leaders too, but the press was focused on finding divisions between the U.S. and Israel."
Even those who disagree with Obama's stance on settlements had warm things to say about the powwow. The Jerusalem Post quotes Abe Foxman, director of the Anti-Defamation League: "He understood why we are anxious. He understood and said they have to find ways to [emphasize] the requirements they have made of the Palestinians." And Nathan Diament of the Orthodox Union, who was also present for the meeting, told the paper "the president acknowledged there's certainly a perception problem that the U.S. is pressing Israel and not the other side." Ben Smith at Politico quotes Ira Forman, the executive director of the National Jewish Democratic Council as commenting that Obama "said we have been very specific with the Arab world on incitement, violence, commitments on accepting the reality of Israel and conveying that to their street as well."
According to The New York Times's Caucus blog, however, the only real critic at the meeting was Malcolm Hoenlein, executive vice chairman of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, who briefly argued with the president. Hoenlein said that diplomatic progress in the Middle East only happens when there is "no light" between the U.S. and Israel, to which Obama countered that "no light" was the situation under George W. Bush and yet nothing got done.

More Difficult to Learn: Baseline Tennis or Serve and Volley?

Rafter and Edberg used a kick serve every single time they came in. Worked very well for them obviously, but I don't think a lot of strategy went into that. Jmac would often serve to the backhand, and even though the opponent knew it was coming, he was able to execute very well and made it work.
There's less overall strategy in serve and volley than baseline play, IMO. And I do think it's because the points are shorter. The 20+ shot rallies we see today in the pro game requires a lot of strategic thinking.
There are so many more ways to win a point at the baseline vs winning a point at the net. The baseline point will often require 5-6 shots before you can put the ball away. With S&V this isn't the case. You can hit every single first volley without exception into the open court and do very, very well given you have a decent serve/volley.
I can see why people are saying that S&V is hard to learn, but in terms of just strategy, I think baseline play is harder, even if it's by a little bit. This isn't to diss S&V play either. I like the simplicity of S&V and I often play better when I "just do it" and don't over-think
Originally Posted by

My theory why:
1. It takes a person who is gutsy and isn't afraid to go for it. There are few people who are like this
2. People hit with a lot of topspin nowadays and it's difficult to volley back.
I wish there were more S&V players though. I saw two DI doubles players at an Open Tournament who often S&Ved and it was a breath of fresh air.

IZEAfest Delivers Drama, Scares, Learning, Ice, Pizza
Oh the salacious things we could tell you about IZEAfest which occurred this past weekend in Orlando. But we're not going to because you don't read Adrants for that stuff, right? You read it for the compelling and in-depth advertising news we provide. Wait, what? Did we just write that sentence? Have we turned into Advertising Age?
Hell no but we're not the industry's giant asshole either. Suffice to say there was puking, a high profile Twitter account hijacking, a lost iPhone debacle, a Twitter cat fight, a Zuckerberg/Lacy-style session trashing, a theme park line cutting incident and an act of contrition which was, well, less than contrite. But none of this is important. What's important is IZEAfest held a wonderful conference at which there were wonderfully informative speakers, wonderful attendees, wonderfully planned social events and a a chance to learn a lot about how advertising isn't the same advertising it once was.
Upon arrival Thursday, the Renaissance Hotel pool was the place to be. Julia Roy and Sarah Evans were among the many drinking in the sun before a few hundred of us hopped on some buses for a ride across the state to Busch Gardens where the park was holding its annual Howl-O-Scream event. Just imagine an entire theme park turned into one gigantic scare zone and you have Howl-O-Scream.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) Target says that about 40 million credit and debit card accounts may have been affected by a data breach that occurred just as the holiday shopping season shifted into high gear.
The chain said that accounts of customers who made purchases using their cards at its U.S. stores between Nov. 27 and Dec. 15 may have been exposed. The stolen data includes customer names, credit and debit card numbers, card expiration dates and the three-digit security codes located on the backs of cards.
On Thursday many Target shoppers in Beaverton were using cash. I pulled out cash from my bank instead of paying with my card, said Target shopper Zach Allen.
One Beaverton woman named Kristine said she was a victim of the rash of stolen credit card numbers. She did not want her last name used.
I was just checking our balance and then saw that there was more than I thought: video games and a snowboard. So like $500, Kristine said.
She is a regular at Target, but not a snowboarder. Her credit card company canceled the charges, but she's changing her practices too.
I'm going to be checking them probably every day for awhile until I feel more comfortable again, Kristine said.
The Minneapolis company said it immediately told authorities and financial institutions once it became aware of the breach and that it is teaming with a third-party forensics firm to investigate the matter and prevent future breaches. It. said it is putting all appropriate resources toward the issue.
Target didn't say exactly how the data breach occurred, but said it had since fixed the problem and that credit card holders can continue shopping at its stores.
But news of the breach comes at the height of the holiday shopping season and threatens to scare away shoppers worried about the safety of their personal data.
Everybody and their brother goes to Target, said Beaverton shopper Steven Trask. I did for the grand kids for gift cards. So I freaked out about all these hackers.
Thursday morning he moved his money into a savings account.
It was the Target thing entirely, Trask said. There are better odds of them getting into your account and getting some money than the lottery.
Some experts say it's even a good idea to cut up your cards every six months and get new ones.
Target is just the latest retailer to be hit with a data breach problem. TJX Cos., which runs stores such as T.J. Maxx and Marshall's, had a breach that began in July 2005 that exposed at least 45.7 million credit and debit cards to possible fraud. The breach wasn't detected until December 2006. In June 2009 TJX agreed to pay $9.75 million in a settlement with multiple states related to the massive data theft but stressed at the time that it firmly believed it did not violate any consumer protection or data security laws.
An even larger hack hit Sony in 2011. It had to rebuild trust among PlayStation Network gamers after hackers compromised personal information including credit card data on more than 100 million user accounts. Sony was criticized for slowness in alerting users to the breach.
Target's first priority is preserving the trust of our guests and we have moved swiftly to address this issue, so guests can shop with confidence. We regret any inconvenience this may cause, Chairman, President and CEO Gregg Steinhafel said in a statement Thursday.

Deer Valley High School (California)

|Deer Valley High School
Deer Valley High School in Antioch, California, is a public secondary school serving southeast Antioch in Contra Costa County, California. It opened in 1996.
In 2007, the Antioch Unified School District named Scott Bergerhouse and Clarence Isadore co-principals. The co-principal model has previously been implemented in some larger schools in southern California.
In February 2010, Deer Valley and the rest of the AUSD schools were informed that that they will be issuing a uniform policy in the 2010-2011 school year. This policy proved to be a failure for the school and was discontinued by the start of the 2011-2012 school year.
School Site Council[edit]
The Deer Valley School Site Council is a group of parents, teachers, students and other school employees elected by their peers to meet with the school co-principals in order to:
- Develop a comprehensive school site plan
- Plan, monitor, and review its effectiveness
- Develop a budget aligned to categorical program funds
- Review and revise the plan and budget annually
- Recommend Single Plan for Student Achievement to the School Board
- Recommend the plan for targeting use of other categorical or supplemental funds to the School Board
- Ensure that the school is continually engaged in identifying and implementing curriculum and instructional practices
The school is divided into four "houses", each of which has its own vice-principal and secretary. At the freshman and sophomore levels Deer Valley uses a teaming concept, where groups of students share the same English, math, science, and history teacher. In addition to core classes, a wide variety of elective classes are offered to students. In addition to instrumental and choral music, foreign language, drama, automotive, culinary, and art classes, students may also enroll in video production, digital art, web design, animation, law, manufacturing, photography, or careers with children among many others.
Deer Valley also houses academies: Antioch Unified School District has four Linked Learning academies in place throughout the District. There are two Linked Learning academies on the campus of Deer Valley High School, which include a Law Academy and a Performing Arts Academy. [1]
The process for attending an academy begins in the second half of the eighth grade, when students and their parents have opportunities to attend presentations by each of the Learning Link academies. Students can apply for one or more by completing an application. The selection is by lottery; it's open to all district students without pre-testing however a 3.0 GPA requirement. [2]
Each of the linked learning academies, incorporate career preparation into the four-year curriculum. These academies goals are to allow students to receive a well-rounded education while preparing for their chosen careers. The academies create a school-within-a-school themed education in hopes to help bridge the achievement gap and increasing high graduation and college-going rates.
Housed at Deer Valley High School, the Deer Valley Academy of Performing Arts ( formerly Delta Performing Arts Academy) takes students through a high school curriculum focused on the arts, but draws from several foundations to ensure a complete education.One of the major tenets of DVAPA's after-school program is performance opportunities for the students as an extension of the classroom. Students regularly perform plays, musicals, dance/band/choir concerts at Deer Valley's theater. [3]
Located in House 2 of DVHS, the Law Academy curriculum includes three elements: law-related content embedded in required courses in English, Social Studies, Math and Science, law-specific elective courses such as Constitutional Law and Criminal Justice, and work-based learning throughout the four years of study. The Law Academy provides a positive understanding of the legal system and its role in society, enhancing civic education for citizenship and enhancing community service. The academy provides students with lawyer role models and mentors who can teach, inspire, and support students to college and career pathways The law academy also provides students with the chances to compete in various competitions such as Mock Trial and Model United Nations. The Mock Trial team of 2014-2015 placed fifth in the county competition and the model united nations team has had great success at conferences at DVC, and Santa Teresa High School. Also, students are able to obtain internships with businesses in but not limited to the field of law. The students will also take multiple field trips a year to places such as the FBI buildings in Oakland, Alcatraz, and the local police station. Students enrolled in the Deer Valley Law Academy must take a fundamental criminal justice class in 9th grade, with the curriculum continuing on to the next year, and psychology in 11th grade. Deer Valley is also one of the few high schools in California with the option to take Philosophy, however with the Law students placed as top priority in the enrollment process. [4]
The Business Technology Academy and the ESPACE academy (Earth, Space, Astronomy Center for Education) are also academies on Deer Valley's campus. Students in the Business Technology Academy will be provided a curriculum focused on a business theme with related standards-based academic classes and career-technical classes implementing supplemental technology. Increased communication between teachers, students, and parents; increased student engagement; increased frequency of writing and revisions; and increased individualized instruction are all goals of The Business-Tech Academy. The ESPACE academy has one of the few planetariums on a high school campus in the state of California. Students from DVHS have used space probes to investigate a number of questions for school projects, most notably the Spitzer Space Telescope and the Mars Global Surveyor. In addition, Deer Valley had held, for nine consecutive years, the highest API scores in the area (some the highest in the East Bay)[citation needed].
DVHS Planetarium[edit]
Deer Valley High School is one of the few high schools in the Bay Area to have a planetarium. The planetarium has been in operation since 2004 and hosts biweekly[clarification needed] shows for the community.
They are open to the public. The current show schedule starts shows at 8 PM and has star observing at 9 PM on alternating Thursdays when school is in session.
Deer Valley High has many different types of classes students may take, which are separated into different departments;
- Career Technology (including a Law Academy which opened in the 2009-10 school year)
- English
- Mathematics
- Physical Education
- Reform Facilitators
- Science
- Social Science
- Special Education
- Visual and Performing Arts
- World Languages
2009 shooting[edit]
On September 16, 2009, at about 8:29 am, a 16-year-old student of Deer Valley High School was shot in the arm and chest nearby the school.[5] The shots were fired from a vehicle, which then drove off. The victim was lifted by air to John Muir Medical Center and underwent surgery.[5] The school, along with all other schools in the district, then went into lockdown later that morning.[5] 19-year-old Yousuf Mohammad Aziz and another person was arrested in connection with the shooting.[6][7] In 2011, Aziz was convicted of charges of premeditated attempted murder, assault with a firearm, shooting at an inhabited dwelling and two counts of street terrorism, and was sentenced to 7 years to life in prison.[8]

Sundays, 7pm
World of Opera
Program Website: http://worldofopera.org/
World of Opera brings listeners compelling performances
from top American and international opera companies. World of
Opera encompasses the seminal operas of centuries past as well
as today's masterpieces.
UMBERTO GIORDANO: Andrea Chénier
Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, London
March 29
Royal Opera House Orchestra and Chorus
CAST: Jonas Kaufmann (Andrea Chénier); Eva-Maria Westbroek (Maddalena de Coigny); Rosalind Plowright (Comtesse di Coigny); Zeljko Lucic (Carlo Gérard); Denyce Graves (Bersi); Peter Coleman-Wright (Pietro Fléville); Adrian Clarke (Mathieu)
In Giordano's revolutionary potboiler love and politics vie for the hero's soul, vividly demonstrating how both of those passions can be dangerous to one's health. This Covent Garden production features two of today's most highly-regarded stars, tenor Jonas Kaufmann and soprano Eva-Maria Westbroek.
GIOACHINO ROSSINI: Tancredi
Tchaikovsky Concert Hall, Moscow
April 5
Alberto Zedda, conductor
CAST: Patricia Bardon (Tancredi); Alga Peretyatko (Amenaide); Antonino Siragusa (Argirio); Oleg Tsybulko (Orbazzano); Alexandra Kadurina (Isaura); Irina Reynard (Ruggero)
Tancredi was the opera that first established Rossini's international reputation, and it demonstrates that in the hands of a true master, even the well-worn traditions of opera seria could still produce both moving romance, and riveting spectacle.
VINCENZO BELLINI: Norma
Grand Liceu Theater, Barcelona
April 12
Grand Liceu Theater Orchestra and Chorus
Renato Palumbo, conductor
CAST: Sondra Radvanovsky (Norma); Ekaterina Gubanova (Adalgisa); Gregory Kunde (Pollione); Raymond Aceto (Oroveso); Anna Purche (Clotilde); Francisco Vas (Flavio)
Perhaps the ultimate bel canto classic, Bellini's masterpiece features a powerfully emotional story and a title role that's among the most challenging in all of opera, sung here by one of today's most exciting sopranos, Sandra Radvanovsky.
W. A. MOZART: The Marriage of Figaro
Royal Theater, Turin
April 19
Teatro Regio Orchestra and Chorus
Yutaka Sado, conductor
CAST: Mirco Palazzi (Figaro); Carmela Remigio (Countess Almaviva); Ildebrando D'Arcangelo (Count Almaviva); Ekaterina Bakanova (Susanna); Paola Gardina (Cherubino); Samantha Korbey (Marcellina); Fabrizio Beggi (Bartolo); Arianna Vendittelli (Barbarina); Luca Casalin (Don Curzio); Matteo Peirone (Antonio)
Deep down, as with many of Mozart's "comedies," Figaro isn't as funny as it first seems, with plenty of telling human foibles, weaknesses, heartbreak, and even treachery, all lurking beneath a slapstick veneer -- and illuminated by page after page of glorious music.
OTTO NICOLAI: The Merry Wives of Windsor
Liège Opera
April 26
Liège Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and Chorus
Christian Zacharias, conductor
CAST: Anneke Luyten (Alice Ford); Sabina Willeit (Meg Page); Franz Hawlata (Sir John Falstaff); Davide Giuste (Fenton); Werner Van Mechelen (Ford); Sophie Junker (Ann Page); Laurent Kubla (Page); Stefan Cifolelli (Slender); Patrick Delcour (Dr. Caius)
Successful Shakespeare-based operas are few and far between, and this gem is often overlooked. Using the same story that later inspired Verdi's Falstaff, Nicolai's colorful score combines the sparkle of Italian opera with the budding style of German romanticism.
ENRIQUE GRANADOS: Goyescas, GIACOMO PUCCINI: Suor Angelica
Royal Theater, Turin
May 3
Teatro Regio Orchestra and Chorus
Denato Renzetti, conductor
CAST, GOYESCAS: Giuseppina Piunti (Rosario); Andeka Gorrotxategui (Fernando); Anna Maria Chiuri (Pepa); Fabián Veloz (Paquiro) CAST, SUOR ANGELICA: Amarilli Nizza (Sister Angelica); Anna Maria Chiuri (Princess); Maria Di Mauro (Abbess); Silvia Beltrami (Monitress); Claudia Marchi (Mistress of the Novices); Damiana Mizzi (Sister Genovieffa); Nicoletta Baù (Sister Osmina); Maria de Lourdes Martins (Sister Dolcina)
This unusual double bill features a mystical one-act drama from Puccini's Il Trittico, plus an opera that began life, literally, at the keyboard. Goyescas, by Granados, is based on music from a popular set of piano pieces inspired by the romantic paintings of Francisco Goya.
VINCENZO BELLINI: The Capulets and the Montagues
La Fenice, Venice
May 10
La Fenice Orchestra
Omer Meir Welber, conductor
CAST: Sonia Ganassi (Romeo); Jessica Pratt (Juliet); Shalva Mukeria (Tebaldo); Rubén Amoretti (Capellio); Luca Dall'Amico (Lorenzo)
Bellini's take on the Romeo and Juliet story is unusual in that it's not primarily based on Shakespeare's tragedy, instead deriving from an Italian novella. It was a runaway hit at its premiere, causing Bellini to dub the drama "Zaira's revenge," as much of its music was recycled from his opera Zaira, which had failed less than a year earlier.
RICHARD WAGNER: The Flying Dutchman
Royal Opera House, Covent Garden; London
May 17
Royal Opera Orchestra and Chorus
Andris Nelsons, conductor
CAST: Egils Silins (Dutchman); Adrianne Peiczonka (Senta); Peter Rose (Daland); Michael König (Erik); Catherine Wyn-Rogers (Mary); Ed Lyon (Steersman)
While weighing in at about two-and-a-half hours -- without an intermission! -- Dutchman may still be Wagner's most straightforward and approachable opera. It's a stormy drama of legendary determination, undeniable love and ultimate redemption.
FROMENTAL HALÉVY: La Juive
Vienna State Opera
May 24
Vienna State Opera Orchestra and Chorus
Frédéric Chaslin, conductor
CAST: Olga Bezsmertna (Rachel); Neil Shicoff (Eléazar); Jason Bridges (Prince Léopold); Aida Garifullina (Princess Eudoxie); Dan Paul Dumitrescu (Gian Francesco); Gabriel Bermúdez (Ruggiero); Marcus Pelz (Albert)
The first of this quarter's three shows from Vienna, Halévy's drama premiered at the Paris Opéra in 1835 in what may then have been the most extravagant opera production in history, complete with lavish, period costuming and a phalanx of onstage equestrians.
VINCENZO BELLINI: I Puritani
Vienna State Opera
May 31
Vienna State Opera Orchestra and Chorus
Marco Armiliato, conductor
CAST: Olga Peretyatko (Elvira); John Tessier (Lord Arturo Talbo); Carlos Alvarez (Sir Riccardo Forth); Jongmin Park (Sir Giorgi Valton); Sorin Coliban (Lord Gualtiero Valton); Carlos Osuna (Sir Bruno Robertson); Ilseyar Khayrullova (Enrichetta di Francia)
When Bellini moved to Paris in the 1830s, he declared that French composers and audiences had "little understanding of real song." He apparently decided to remedy that. I Puritani -- Bellini's first opera for Paris, and the last opera he composed before his death at age 33 -- is blessed by a raft of his finest melodies.
JULES MASSENET: Le Cid
Paris National Opera
June 7
Paris National Opera Orchestra and Chorus
Michel Plasson, conductor
CAST: Anna Caterina Antonacci (Chimène); Roberto Alagna (Rodrigue); Paul Gray (Don Diègue); Nicolas Cavallier (The King); Franck Ferrari (Count of Gormas); Annick Massis (L'Infante); Farncis Dudziak (Saint Jacques)
In Paris, an operatic hotbed for centuries, few composers were ever as successful Massenet, and Le Cid is the piece that got his career rolling. The plot is a tangle of politics and romance, in which a young patriot, acting out of family loyalty, kills his fiancée's father. It comes to us from the modern incarnation of the historic Paris Opéra, where it premiered in 1885.
GAETANO DONIZETTI: Don Pasquale
Vienna State Opera
June 14
Vienna State Opera Orchestra and Chorus
Jesús Lopez Cobos, conductor
CAST: Juan Diego Florez (Ernesto); Valentina Nafornita (Norina); Michele Pertusi (Don Pasquale); Alessio Arduini (Dr. Malatesta)
Donizetti wrote any number of irresistible comedies, including The Elixir of Love and The Daughter of the Regiment, and this sparkling score may be the best of them all. From Vienna, acclaimed veteran Juan Diego Florez does a star turn alongside the captivating young Romanian soprano, Valentina Nafornita.
W. A. MOZART: La Finta Semplice
Prinzregenten Theater, Munich
June 21
Munich Radio Orchestra
Rinaldo Alessandrini, conductor
CAST: Nuria Rial (Rosina); Andrew Staples (Fracasso); Kay Stiefermann (Cassandro); Oliver Ringelhahn (Polidoro); Elena Belfiore (Giacinta); David Steffens (Simone); Anna Lucia Richter (Ninetta)
The term "children's music" is generally used to describe music written for children -- but in this opera, it takes on a different meaning. La Finta Semplice is kids' music written by a kid -- the eleven-year-old Mozart, who used it to showcase an innovative ensemble style that later came to full bloom in masterpieces including The Marriage
GIUSEPPE VERDI: Macbeth
Champs-Elysées Theater, Paris
June 28
Radio France Chorus
National Orchestra of France
Daniele Gatti, conductor
CAST: Susanna Branchini (Lady Macbeth); Roberto Frontali (Macbeth); Roberto Tagliavini (Banquo); Jean-François Borras (Macduff); Sophie POndjiclis (Lady-in-Waiting); Jérémy Duffau (Malcolm)
Astonishingly, there may be only a half-dozen or so successful operas inspired by Shakespeare. Even more remarkable is that Verdi alone accounted for three of them. His Macbeth may not be heard quite so often as Otello and Falstaff, but it's still among his finest and most intense dramas.

Our Bureau
Bangalore, Oct. 1
ILLYCAFFE, the world's largest producer of gourmet `Espresso' coffee, wants a reduction in India's import duties on roasted varieties.
"Coffee consumption in India would perk up if the import duty is reduced," Mr Andrea Illy, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of illycaffe, said on Saturday. Currently, the import duty on roasted coffee is about 108 per cent. This is mainly to protect domestic growers.
Mr Illy hinted that his company would take up the duty issue with the Government. "The fact that high import duty is impacting the consumption should be brought to the attention of the Government," he told newspersons on Saturday.
"The Indian Government should develop a strategy to improve the living conditions of growers instead of protecting the developing market," he suggested.
The gourmet coffee boom, Mr Illy said, which started from the US a few years ago, is coming to India as well and is set to trigger coffee consumption. "There is a strong potential to boost coffee consumption in India, which currently stands at around 70,000 tonnes per annum," he said. The increase in average disposable incomes due to high economic growth, coupled with the growing exposure of the middle class to the western culture and lifestyle, is driving the coffee consumption in India. A double-digit growth in coffee consumption for India is an accessible target, he said.
If roasted coffee consumption picks up in India, it can have a beneficial impact on green coffee pricing that would subsequently benefit the growers, Mr Illy said. "India and China are by far the biggest emerging markets that can impact the balance between the production and the market," he said.
illycafe, which uses Indian raw coffee for 20 per cent of its blends, currently sells about 30 tonnes of its Espresso coffee in country, accounting for close to 50 per cent of gourmet coffee sales of 70 tonnes. "Over the next five years, we expect to sell 500-1,000 tonnes per annum through partnership with Fresh and Honest of the Sterling Infotech Group," said the CEO of the Italy-based company.
"We are also trying to create awareness about coffee culture in India by offering training courses through the University of Coffee, Trieste," he said. illycaffe, which sources about 2,500 tonnes of Arabica coffee annually from India, is also trying to organise the small growers under an umbrella on the lines of co-operatives in Colombia, he said.
