Summer is almost here, which means that many of us are gearing up for an annual family vacation! If this is your child's first trip to the beach, or if your trip will be a particularly long one, you may want to consider bringing along his or her favorite friends:
Before packing for your trip, read Olivia Learns to Surf together to get your child in the mood for a vacation and then let your little girl try on her Disney Princess swimsuit before she packs it in her suitcase. Don't forget a hat to block those harmful sun rays! If your child is a fan of Yo Gabba Gabba! you can have this Brobee bucket hat personalized!
You can purchase beach towels featuring all your child's favorite characters—Strawberry Shortcake, Super Why!, Ben 10, and Caillou. (Those can all be personalized, as well!) Before you leave, pack a good beach bucket like this Thomas & Friends tin pail. And then put together a healthy lunch and grab your child's Clifford lunch box to bring it along.
To keep it all together, toss it in a big, linen bag like The Wiggles Summer Fun Tote Bag and head out the door! Now, on a family vacation, a day at the beach, or a sunny day in the park, your child can have all their favorite friends along for the adventure.

Clark plans on playingPosted by on November 15, 2012 – 3:45 pm
Safety Ryan Clark went full tilt in practice on Thursday, after suffering a concussion against the Chiefs on Monday night.
Clark practiced in a limited basis on Wednesday, but was able to go through a full practice Thursday and expects to play on Sunday night against the Ravens.
"I'm playing," said Clark. "It would have to be a setback not to. The week has to continue. I only pushed myself one day. I have to go back out there and push myself again. A big part of it is passing the test."
This is the second concussion that Clark has had this season, previously suffering one against the Washington Redskins, but he said that won't change the way he plays the game.
"I never had a concussion and you get two in three weeks," said Clark. "You worry about that. But sometimes you get hit right, and that's what happened to me twice. You play until you can't play anymore. I am going to play the same way, give my all and if I am out there for the team be the same 25."
While Clark practiced, four players missed including wide receiver Antonio Brown (ankle), tackle Marcus Gilbert (ankle), safety Troy Polamalu (calf), and quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (right shoulder).
Cornerback Curtis Brown (quadriceps), defensive end Brett Keisel (shoulder), tackle Max Starks (ankle), linebacker Stevenson Sylvester (hamstring), cornerback Ike Taylor (illness) and running back Rashard Mendenhall (Achilles) were full participants in practice.
"I am taking it a day at a time," said Mendenhall. "It feels good. I just want to continue to build on that."
Mendenhall said he has worked more in practice this week than he has since he injured the Achilles, and hopes to get back on the field this week
"I am back to full practice. Fatigue is not as much an issue as it's been. It's just full practice like a normal work week."

Republicans Deep-Six the NLRB
Doing filibustering Senate Republicans one better, the one Republican member on the (currently) three-member National Labor Relations Board appears to have decided to bring the board to a screeching halt by refusing to vote and thus denying it a quorum.
In a letter made public yesterday, Republican Brian Hayes wrote fellow GOP-er John Kline, chairman of the House Education and Workforce Committee, that he might well not participate in the Board's scheduled November 30 vote on changing the rules for union certification elections. The proposed rule change essentially would shorten the period between the time that workers file for a union-representation election and the election itself from the current time period, which is as long as management can delay a vote (sometimes, for years) to roughly three or four weeks.
In his letter, Kline complained that he was not privy to some of the deliberations of the board (that is, of the two Democratic members) and thus might fail to show up for the scheduled vote. But in a long and devastating letter that board chairman Mark Pearce sent to Hayes yesterday, Pearce documented more than a dozen instances in which he and the board's staff invited Hayes and his own staff to participate in all aspects of the rule-development process—hearings, data collection, even just trying to get Hayes to tell him which portions of the proposed rule he supported and which he opposed, and negotiating a compromise based on that discussion – only to have his entreaties either rejected or ignored by Hayes and his staff. In essence, Pearce told Hayes, you moved heaven and earth to ensure your exclusion from the process.
Last year, the Supreme Court ruled that the five-member NLRB lacked a quorum and could not make any decisions based on a vote of just two members. Currently, the board has only three members, since Republican members of Congress, led by South Carolina Senator Lindsay Graham, have vowed to block any further Obama appointments and to stay in session over breaks to block any recess appointments. Board member Craig Becker's term expires at the end of the year, reducing membership down to a powerless two. By refusing to participate in the November 30 session, Hayes would effectively move up by a month the Board's quickly approaching period of impotence and block a rule change that unions support, and that fairness itself demands.

Mr. Meyerson,
I appreciate this posting, and personally am outraged by this behavior. But the little conservative in my head thinks he has a handy objection, to wit: Isn't this basically equivalent to what the state legislators in Wisconsin did? That is, they refused to show up so the body they served could not get a quorum and vote in a way they found objectionable. Your thoughts would be appreciated.
Sun, 2011-11-27 18:00
Its hard to cry any tears over this, given the lengths that Democrats have shown they will go to obfuscate the will of the people, given their actions in Wisconsin. I also have no problem with Lindsey Graham punting this until after the election, as Obama himself has shown with the XL pipeline decision. The NLRB has shown a dangerous slant in the last three years, with the exclamation point being the deliberate attacks of Boeing in South Carolina. I have no faith in the balance of this board in any decision, and until this administration leaves neither should anyone else.
Sun, 2011-11-27 18:33
From what I have read, the vote was already rigged no matter what the Republican did. The only way to prevent yet another grotesquely overt pro-union rule was to not show up. The NLRB has outlived its usefulness, and like so many other Federal bureaucracies needs to be eliminated. Personally, I will be very glad if he does not show up; its long past time we cut off unions from government support and tax-payer funding.
George Orwell
Sun, 2011-11-27 22:45
I love it. I am glad the Republicans have turned the tables on the Democrats. It was all high praise when the Dems left in Wisconsin. Also, this NLRB is a joke. The filing of the complaint against Boeing was proof that this Board is corrupt, doing the work of the liberal left and not following the law at all. Becker's appointment was a crime with his pro-labor ties and background. This is why the economy can;t get back on track, too much government interference and too much regulation. We are losing jobs every day in this country because of how much its costs to produce and manufacture good and products. The problem...cost of regulations and labor unions.

I think it's interesting that we have a Republican who decided not to participate in a vote he thought was wrong, or led the NLRB to overstep its' legal boundaries (gee, sounds a LOT like what the Dem state representatives in Wisconsin did by fleeing the state!) by using tactics similar to what Democrats have done - and he gets vilified for it. Democrats are consistently "do as I say, and not as I do" people - which really means two things: the days that Republicans will simply roll over for liberals, taking the "high road" on principle, are over. Congress is generally a pigsty, and now Republicans are more willing to get down into the muck with Democrats if that's what it takes. The second thing is this: the American PEOPLE are getting more and more tired of Democrats and their political antics, shear effrontery when it comes to the rule of law, and dirty back room tactics. If you thought November 2010 was bad for you, what's coming will be even worse.

Mon, 2011-11-28 14:29
The analogy that some comments make to the Wisconsin Democrats boycotting of deliberations may provide a gratifying sense of "we'll give you some of your own medicine," however it is not the same. Doing so would add to the continuing ossification of the machinery of government and left-center-right should all be opposed to Brian Hayes' threat to boycott Board proceedings. Hayes is an appointed member of the NLRB who took an oath to perform his duties within the framework of that position. He is not a political actor as with the Wisconsin legislators. While one can argue that they too avoided their duties- the difference is that they acted in the context of rough and tumble politics. Hayes can vote against the proposed changes and voice his dissent. And should do so. But to boycott the proceeding is an abdication of his responsibilities to function as a Board member. Unless I am mistaken, this would be unprecedented. Ultimately if he felt so strongly about this issue, he could resign. That would reflect true integrity Mr. Hayes.

They are never satified. They remind me of the old nursery rhyme about "the king was in his counting house counting all his money........................"
A problem solved in France when the revolution came.. So eloquently described by Diderot ...The people will be free when the last king is strangled with the guts of the last priest.

|Gunpowder Falls State Park, Northern Central Railroad Trail, now known as the Torrey C. Brown Rail Trail
Hereford Area, 410-592-2897
|Trail Access
|Parking areas are located along many roads that cross the rail trail. Monkton and Paper Mill roads are the most crowded areas. Park at Freeland or White Hall to avoid crowds. To start at the southern end of the trail, nearest the bike rental, take I-83 north to exit 20 for Hunt Valley. Turn right onto York Road and left onto Ashland Road. A small parking area is located where Ashland Road crosses the trail.
|7.5 miles to Monkton Trail Station
19.7 miles to the Pennsylvania state line
41 miles to York, Pennsylvania (one way)
Trail users hike as far as their fitness level and interest allow and return via the same route.
|1 hour to all day, depending on the chosen length of the trip.
|This former railroad bed is a double-track crushed stone surface that is hard-packed and ADA accessible. The trail has a gentle one percent grade. The trail begins in Ashland and continues to York, Pennsylvania. In the lower section, it follows the course of the Big Gunpowder Falls.
|Skill Level
|Suitable For Families?
|No motorized vehicles. Pets must be on a leash. Be aware of bike riders and horseback riders sharing the trail.
|Potable Water
|Water is available at Sparks, Freeland and Monkton year-round.
|Natural Features
|In the southern end, the trail follows the Big Gunpowder Falls and has views of pastoral settings and farm fields. It passes by wetlands with opportunities to listen to spring peepers (a tiny frog) and other amphibian calls. Above Monkton, the topography creates narrow passages where the trail passes through rock outcrops with cool springs and abundant ferns. Wildflowers decorate the sides of the trail in open areas. A rapids area on the river creates variety in the scenery. In the northern end, a wetland near Beetree Run is home to an active beaver lodge (they move their lodge along the trail yearly).
|Historic/Cultural Features
|This trail is a former railroad bed for the Northern Central Railroad (c. 1840) that once transported milk from local farmers into the city of Baltimore. President Lincoln traveled on it to deliver the Gettysburg Address. The rail line later served as a commuter train until the early 1970's when Hurricane Agnes destroyed the railroad. The trail visits quaint farm towns and passes by historic train stations at Monkton, Maryland and Hanover Junction, Pennsylvania.
The rail trail was officially renamed the Torrey C. Brown Rail Trail in 2007, after Maryland's third Maryland Department of Natural Resources Secretary, who was the major driving force in developing this multi-use recreational trail.
|Park naturalists provide guided tours throughout the spring, summer and fall seasons. Check at Monkton Station for a schedule of events.
|Organized youth group camping is available nearby at Camp Wood. Call the park office for reservations, 410-592-2897. A privately owned and operated RV park/campground is located in the Hereford Area for the general public.
|Other Points of Interest
|Monkton Train Station serves as a visitor center and museum for the park. Sparks Bank Nature Center in the southern section of the trail is a hands-on nature center for children ages 3-8. Adults enjoy it too.
|Other Accommodations
|Hotels and motels are located in Hunt Valley.
|Service Charges or Permits
|Youth group camping permit fees only.
|This easy walk is family-oriented. The hike features natural and cultural history along the trail with scenic views of pastoral land and historic railroad towns. The rail trail is easily accessible from the Baltimore area, and includes restrooms and water at designated locations. Hike through history and look for clues from the days the railroad and milling were active, or enjoy the sights and sounds of nature's wonders along the Big Gunpowder Falls, including wildflowers, ferns, and wetlands teeming with frogs, beavers and other wildlife.

iPhone and NXT
The guys from battlebricks managed to control a NXT robot using an iPhone. How is that possible I hear you ask? First, build a robot that performs different movements based on the light sensor looking at different shades of grey. Then build a web application that displays those different shades on a website. Load one iPhone on the robot, and use another to remotely update the shade of grey on the other. Now why didn't I think of that?

That's a very nice application (without the complicated iPhone hacking that might otherwise be needed). With the Hitechnic color sensor you could get even more information out of the iPhone for control. Now, if there was someway to transmit *back*... Oh, and GPS (yes, I know "3G" etc.)

you lost me on "and use another to remotely update the shade of grey on the other. "
Is the 2nd iphone pinging the first or is it just accessing the web page to change the color. If that is the case then you wouldn't need a 2nd iphone, just a computer with internet access.
Also the page on the NXT's iphone would have to be periodically refreshed.

That is really neat! My dad has an iPhone, and with the WWDC drawing ever closer, I am expecting the release of the 3G iPhone, and the App Store! That means somebody could write a native app for the iPhone using the SDK to control the NXT via bluetooth. That would be like the mobile application Lego created for all of those other phones. I actually saw somebody on youtube that said he did write an application that could do this: http://youtube.com/watch?v=okutqL4uoho Of course it could be fake...

As a kid you need to stay active so that you can properly develop your muscles so you can grow up strong and healthy. Taking care of your kid should be one of your highest priorities and making sure they have proper exercise is a must. One of the best ways I've found for small children to exercise is by jumping on a miniature trampoline. Not only will they keep their heart healthy by staying active but they will also develop leg muscles as well as increase their cognitive functions. After shopping around for a little while I finally decided to purchase the Little Tikes 3′ Trampoline. I'm extremely happy with my purchase and my kid has loved every second of jumping on this rebounder. After reading what I think of this trampoline you can decide if this is the right one for you.
Top Trampoline for Children
In my opinion the Little Tikes 3′ Trampoline is perfectly set up for small children and much better than most other brands. Instead of using springs like most rebounders this one just uses webbing which is much safer. This way if the padding comes off a little more have to worry about their small legs falling through and injuring themselves. Other brands of different methods of not using springs but I definitely like this one most.
Another really cool feature is the hand rail with foam padding that you can hold onto while you jump. Since small children can't bounce on a trampoline like older kids due to the lack of balance and leg muscle this allows them to stay on their feet. Over time you'll get used to jumping on the rebounder and will even manage to do so without the hand rail.
Important Details
The entire setup process only took about 20 minutes and I'm definitely not the fastest at putting things together. This rebounder is meant to be set up indoors and if left outdoors it might end up tearing apart over time. Only one kid should be allowed to jump at a time and they can only weigh up to a maximum of 55 pounds. This trampoline is only meant for children and all the bigger kids should be banned from jumping on it. As long as you follow these simple rules will have a great trampoline for kids for many years to come.

Diane Ravitch on the "Effort to Destroy Public Ed"
When Diane Ravitch changed her mind about education reform, she became one of the leading critics of a movement that dominates American policy. For the most part, both Democrats and Republicans now push to make school systems resemble economic markets. They want fewer teacher protections, more testing, and more charter schools for parents to choose from. President Barack Obama's Department of Education, headed by education reformer Arne Duncan, shares many policy goals with those of George W. Bush's administration. Ravitch herself was once part of the movement, promoting student assessments and helping to create voluntary academic standards. After serving as assistant secretary of education under George H.W. Bush, she held positions at the pro-school-reform movement Thomas B. Fordham Foundation and was a member of the Koret Task Force at Stanford's Hoover Institution, which focuses on school choice and "accountability." But in 2009, Ravitch left both positions and wrote a book announcing her move to the other side of the debate.
The Death and Life of the Great American School System excoriates the reform movement, arguing there's virtually no evidence that any of the agenda—school choice, testing, and the like—have improved public education. She writes and speaks frequently about the dangerous role that for-profit businesses have assumed in shaping education policy and about the simultaneous risk that wealthy nonprofit foundations like the Gates Foundation have too much clout in policymaking. Along with actor Matt Damon, she helped organize 2011's Save Our Schools, a national rally opposing high-stakes testing and budget cuts to schools.
I sat down with Ravitch while she was visiting Austin, Texas. (She attracted big crowds at both a convention for school boards and administrators and at a public conversation held in a local high school.) On Monday I posted our conversation about the Chicago teachers' strike, the politics of education reform, and the myth of a crisis in public education. Here is part two of the interview, in which Ravitch addresses the proper role of charter schools, the potentials and pitfalls of technology, and what people can do to really help American schools.
You've been a vocal critic of charters and school choice, arguing that they weed out the students who are difficult to educate and weaken traditional schools. Instead, you've advocated for neighborhood schools, saying they promote a better community of parents and teachers working together. But are there any areas in which public schools could learn from charters? For instance, when it comes to a longer school day, as the high-performing KIPP Academies have?
I think the charter-school movement has as much to learn from public schools as public schools from charter schools. I don't see any examples of where the charter school movement has been so successful that public schools ought to be learning from them. I hear this question all the time: Why aren't they learning from charters? Well, there are a lot of terrible charters. Why should we be learning from them? Why aren't they learning from the best public schools?
Is the success of charters—those few that are successful—is it because they have longer school days or because they are selecting their students?
I started out being supportive of charters. Then I became agnostic on charters. Then I became skeptical of charters. And I now think that charter schools are leading us to having a dual school system again. We're going back to the period before Brown v. Board of Education, but the differentiation in the future will be based on class instead of race.
Do you think there are any lesson to be learned from charter schools?
Yes: Take out the low-performing kids and get high scores. That's the lesson.
So a longer school day—does that make sense?
Not necessarily. I mean, the issue in the Chicago strike—one of the issues—was that Rahm Emanuel wanted a longer school day and the teachers said we want a better school day. Longer doesn't necessarily translate into better. If your school doesn't have a library, if you don't have any arts and music programs, why is more time better? Is it more time for test prep? No, it's not better.
Are there any charter models that you could see yourself supporting? Is there a way a charter school could, in your view, experiment with new approaches and strengthen education?
I actually have a template for what a charter should be. The original idea was that charters would be designed for the kids who were failing—not for the kids who were the very best kids in the poor community, but for the kids who were totally turned off. Charters would be designed for the kids who had already dropped out. They would literally take the kids off the street and bring them back into school and figure out: What can we do to reignite an interest in learning? What can we do to save these kids?
There are very few such charters because of No Child Left Behind. Because No Child Left Behind has incentivized everyone to think, "How do I get the best test scores?" You don't get the best test scores by bringing in the dropouts and bringing in the kids who have tuned out. You get the best test scores by kicking those kids out of your charter.
Charters would be fine if they focused on the kids who were the lowest-performing kids. And then [they could] come to the public schools and say, "Hey, we've learned something new, we want to share this with you because we're part of the same system we want to help." Instead, charters have become a competitor to see who can get the highest test scores.
I would also want to see in my ideal world a cap on charter-school compensation and an absolute ban on any for-profit charters. So If you took out the for-profit charters, if you limited executive compensation to no more than that of the superintendent in the local school district, if you focused on the lowest-performing kids, then I think charters could play a very valuable role. But their current role is destructive and will lead to a resegregation of American society along class lines. We're already segregated, and they'll do nothing but make it deeper.
You've also been highly critical of the role that nonprofit foundations like the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation have played in shaping policy. All three organizations have put millions into different parts of the education-reform movement. Gates has pushed states to embrace charter schools and use student test scores to evaluate teachers. Is there any future path in which it can play what you would consider a positive role?
Gates could conceivably play a more positive role if they could understand the negative effects of what they're doing. I think that over time they will understand it, just as they started with the idea that everything had to be the small school and after eight or ten years of that, they decided that didn't work and they dropped that.
Maybe they'll figure out that the big problem in American education is that kids don't have adequate health care. When you come to school and you can't hear what the teacher's saying, or you can't see what she's doing, and when you have asthma and all of these health issues—maybe if they moved on to that, that would be a very positive role. Because then they would talk about having a nurse in every school, a health clinic kids can go to, regular checkups. That would be very positive. I have some hope for Gates.
There's also been a lot of discussion about the role technology should play in education—how much schools should spend on computers and iPads and whether a school experience that occurs entirely online might be a more efficient replacement for traditional schools. How do you see technology best fitting into the classroom?
In order to do the Common Core testing, [a national set of standards that all but a handful of states are in the process of implementing], everyone's going to have to buy more computers because everything's going to have to be online. I just published an article on the blog by a Republican representative from from South Carolina who said this whole thing is going to come crashing down because we can't afford the technology. So there's different questions about technology. Should kids learn how to use computers? Of course they should. Do kids already know how to use computers? Of course they do. Should schools invest more in having more technology? Probably.
But should children be learning online? No. And the big push is coming from Jeb Bush and his buddies to develop more virtual schools because it makes a load of money. It's a huge cash cow.
I talked this morning about the research on the online schools. It's terrible. Did you read the NEPC report on [online education company] K12 Inc.? There was a CREDO study of charter schools in Pennsylvania. And what it said was compared with all the public schools, the charter schools are not as good as regular schools. And the worst of all the charter schools were the online schools—absolute worst.
Out of 12 online charter schools in Pennsylvania, only one of them has ever made [Adequate Yearly Progress, the improvement targets mandated by No Child Left Behind]. Why haven't they been closed down? They opened four more, now they'll have 16 online charter schools. These are huge cash cows. And the biggest of them all is called the Pennsylvania Cyber Charter School. They just make so much money they don't know what to do with it. The FBI is now investigating them. They've got 11,000 students who bring $10,000 each, and the special-ed kids $23,000 each. Because of the funding. Because the Republican governor wants to have anything other than public schools.
They provide no building, no custodians, no nurses, no playground, no library. They just have a computer and textbooks and they bring in about $110 million a year. They're rolling in dough. They've got so many subsidiary companies, and they're all run by friends and ex-employees.
The bottom line with the cyber charters is this: They provide a really lousy education. The kids drop out like crazy; many of them have an attrition rate of 50 percent a year, so they have to constantly recruit to bring in fresh bodies. They have very low graduation rate, very bad test scores, very high attrition rates, and they'll have one teacher monitoring 100 screens. So what is there to like? Why do the politicians keep doing this? It's because the companies hire lobbyists, make campaign contributions, and they're politically very wired. This is the great scandal.
What do you say to parents whose children go to a traditional public school and are dissatisfied with that school? What should they do?
They should get involved in their school. They should make sure their school has adequate funding. They should talk to the principal, they should talk to the teachers. They should get involved with the parent association.
Corporations aren't going to put more money into the school, they're only going to make money. This should make people in America angry. There ought to be a public uprising about this effort to destroy public education.
If traditional public schools are doing a pretty good job as you say, why do so many people seem to think they need to be fixed?
They have heard it from the media now for 30 years. If you look at the Gallup poll, people give negative marks to public education. It's fairly low right now; maybe 20 percent give public schools an A or a B. If you ask them about the school they know, 77 percent say, "Oh, my public school's great." The reason they say that is because they know their school, they know the teachers in their school, and their school's doing a good job for their kids. If you ask them about American education, though, they'll tell you what Bill Gates says, they'll tell you what George W. Bush says, they'll tell you what Arne Duncan says. They'll tell you what they heard on Fox News. Because that's what they know about American education—it's all bad news. But ask them about the school they know; they think it's great.
Some questions were rephrased to provide context and clarity.

Do your research before making statements like this.
"The bottom line with the cyber charters is this: They provide a really lousy education. The kids drop out like crazy; many of them have an attrition rate of 50 percent a year, so they have to constantly recruit to bring in fresh bodies. They have very low graduation rate, very bad test scores, very high attrition rates, and they'll have one teacher monitoring 100 screeens."
Spoken like someone who has NO CLUE about what cybers do. They fill a need for students who are not successful in a traditional school. Individualized learning works better than a classroom for many students. Teachers provide one-on-one instruction through much of the day. Brick and mortar schools need to innovate
Everyone agrees that the funding needs to be addressed, but cyber charter schools fill a need. Some do it better than others, but traditional schools are losing students NOT because cybers are recruiting, but because traditional classrooms don't work for everyone.
And for the charter-bashing, I'd refer you to the AYP results for 2011-2012. Statewide, 49.85 percent of traditional school districts made AYP, compared to 58.97 percent of Pennsylvania's charter schools. And most of these charter schools are inner-city, which is a challenging student body to begin with.
Tue, 2012-10-02 17:39
The simplest way to debunk online charters is, under the clause of "Do No Harm", to accept the fact they are breaking a simple rule involving screen time usage. It is not healthy to sit and look at a screen for 6 hours. I can understand using online classes to fill in voids at schools were certain offerings are not available, such as Latin, etc.... But this full-fledged online schooling movement for kids is not healthy in terms of physiology.
In terms of making AYP, it can be just as hard, if not harder, for schools in middle class and upper class areas to make AYP, especially in terms of growth. Being "inner-city" can sometimes have its advantages in terms of the ability to make AYP.
Secondly, if you are so inclined to publish data about the success of charters in PA, it might be a good idea to publish their attrition rates, among other details.
Many times, instances of "miracles" are not so miraculous at when ALL the data is analyzed.
Tue, 2012-10-02 17:46
One more point too - how did these charters get their students? Do they hold a lottery? Did the drug dealers show up for the lottery in this "inner-city" environment?
It's easy to pull students out of a school, especially ones that are motivated enough to make a lottery, educate them in a different environment, and holler "victory".
Wed, 2012-10-03 09:33
Have you researched how much of this time is spent in front of a screen? I have seen students in online classes outside making cloud observations, in their kitchen measuring the rate of water flow from the sink, and sitting in their favorite chair with a novel. Online education does not mean they're plopped in a cubicle for a whole day. It means that their work is submitted to a teacher via the internet. Yes- they will have more screen time than the average student, but most schools are asynchronous and students can work whenever they want, wherever they want. This allows nearly limitless travel, sports, and hobbies. Think outside the box, people. Most attrition likely comes from lack of socialization or motivation. Online education takes a certain level of student- but who are we to hold them back with the rest of their class? Or to tell them that they must report to school and be bullied? Online education is not the solution to everything, but we're putting on blinders if we're saying that it's not a HUGE part of the future.
Wed, 2012-10-03 10:04
I can agree with this to some extent. I remember in the 1980's when PACE was used - lessons were mailed to students, they read, learned, and were assessed by sending a test back through the mail. I get it.
But placing a student in a warehouse behind a computer, and having one teacher monitor 100 screens, makes no sense.
But virtual schooling at home makes some sense for the older crowd, I will admit. If it helps students, I'm for it.
But studies have shown dismal results for online learners. So something is not computing. Maybe we already need to reform virtual schooling?
Tue, 2012-10-02 15:38
Wed, 2012-10-03 09:39
If hospitals are all about health, why do they need to profit? If colleges are all about education, why do they need to profit? If military contractors are all about defense, why do companies like Lockheed need to profit?
If you don't like for-profit schools, then choose one of the many non-profit charter schools. Actually- the highest performing cyber charter school in PA (21st Century) IS a public, nonprofit charter school.
Raising the bar for our schools is the only way we can demand more from our education system. I wholeheartedly support public education in every way and I am happy to pay local taxes to support teachers and students in my home district. Education drives communities.
We need to realize that it's not a one-size-fits-all solution.
Wed, 2012-10-03 10:15
Are hospitals publicly funded? Colleges and military need a profit to drive innovation.
Education is simpler, and it is exclusively driven by taxpayers. We don't need competition in schools, we need schools to be good. Competition relies on weaker competitors to fail, and the stronger to endure. That's not the way to run schools - putting some kids in harm's way so that a certain crowd can endure.
School choice can logically make sense if all students can attend the best schools, and we know that is impossible. The idea that some kids should get better education than others is appalling. Of course, those of us that really know about U.S. public schools know that it's not primarily about the quality of the school or it's teachers, its about the quality of our schools which largely rests on the income level of his/her parents. U.S. public schools that show dismal results show them because of the quality of clientele. It's hard to educate drug dealers. Have you ever tried? I have and do.
Anyways, why break up the successful public schools? They have done nothing but good over the last 60 years. How do you describe such a successful nation as the U.S. over the past 60 years without attributing that success to its public schools? 90% of citizens were educated by public schools, and they have done some tremendous things.

2 reasons teapublicans want to abolish public education.
#1 Curriculum: Teapublicans want to open the window to primitive and superstitious curricula such as creationism.
#2 $$$$$$$$$: Teapublicans want for the need for tax revenue to decrease so they can fill their pockets with more unearned income. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Ravitch's answer to the last question is dead on. Everything we hear about public schools from the left and the right makes people thing that schools are terrible. The reality is that the overwhelming majority of schools are just fine. Now, the bottom quarter of schools are where the problems lie. It's the bottom 20-25% that account for the overwhelming majority of school violence and the disparities in achievement. However, to "fix" those schools you have to "fix" the neighborhoods those schools serve.

NXTlog Sumo Events
Congratulations to everybody who participated, & very heartfelt thanks to all who helped with the event in question - we had outstanding support from LEGO, NXTlog, and several individuals, both on the day of and prior to the event itself.
The winning robot at the end of the day was "MG_Sumo", which used a unique wedge made of free-pivoting upside-down backhoe scoops (pictured above). There were a lot of other good designs, with blades & scoops tending to dominate the field. Staying on the ring itself was a trick with many robots (it always is), but a really surprising number of builders seemed to have cracked this first hurdle (trust me, many don't).

I didn't make it to even honorable mention. :( Too bad... it was alot of fun though. ;) I can't wait to see the videos and the final 29 contestants, to see if any of my sumos are in there.
Thanks to Brian and the posse for taking the time to build and battle all those sumos!

buckskinn92: I think more results will be posted today or tomorrow. You'll see your robot, Insectrumo was selected to be built.
It was a very nice robot, and one of the sturdiest we built. In the end, I think the reason it lost was because of a problem with the software, but I never had a chance to really look at it.
I picked that one out as the one I wanted to play with later, but we ran out of time.
I'm sure the results don't do justice to all the entries. Yours were very good.

Agreed. I remember reviewing Shunts-R-Me as well, and thought it was a good entry, it just didn't quite make the cut. Note that there is a lot of luck even with a well-designed & well-documented robot.

That was a great contest idea and I really hope there is more challenges like that. I never got around to entering a robot, but it did inspire me to build a sumo ring in my room. Well it's actually a big LEGO tray with walls that I slide under my bed, and what I did was turn it upside down and put tape around the edges so now that my best friend has a (a or an?)NXT, We have competitions whenever we get a chance.

Yeah, I was not too confident in the light sensor programming. I mean you don't really know what the light values and levels are going to be...
Thanks again, I can't wait to see the rest of the stuff.

I figured we'd get at least a couple people that would cheat, but I can't think of any practical way to enforce the time limit. Still a cool idea though.

- You can either do a custom in the "style" of the customizer or make a character that the customizer has previously done (i.e., if customizer "X" made Nacho Blast Wolverine two years ago, then you can make a Nacho Blast Wolverine as an entry.) Depending on who gets chosen, other submission options might also be appropriate, if the person in question is known for doing particular things.
- If this theme was selected for a future poll, then you'd nominate three customizers if you chose this contest; whomever gets the most votes will be the focus of the challenge. Note that (1) the customizers you choose must be Figure Realm members, (2) you can't nominate yourself, and (3) you also can't nominate me, because that's already been done.

In the first study of its kind, researchers have linked a natural global climate cycle to periodic increases in warfare. The arrival of El Niño, which every three to seven years boosts temperatures and cuts rainfall, doubles the risk of civil wars across 90 affected tropical countries, and may help account for a fifth of worldwide conflicts during the past half-century, say the authors. The paper, written by an interdisciplinary team at Columbia University's Earth Institute, appears in the current issue of the leading scientific journal Nature.

El Niño and La Niña, the periodic shifts in Pacific Ocean temperatures, affect weather around the globe, and many scientists have speculated that a warming planet will make those fluctuations more volatile, bringing more intense drought or extreme rainfall to various regions.

- Asked by Siddhanth S
Apple In-Ear Headphones with Remote and Mic
Product No Longer Available
3 Answers from the Community
Best Answer:
It is compatible with the iPhone 3G as in you can listen to music, use the microphone for calls and the button stop and skip tracks. The only feature that isn't compatible with the iPhone 3G is the volume controls, for that you will need to do that directly on your iPhone 3G.
- Answered by Tristan P from Spence
Everything will work, except the volume control. You can play, pause, skip music and answer calls.
- Answered by Sam O from Sydney
The previous answers are now a little out of date. As long as your 3g is running software later than iOS 3.1.2, the volume control will work just fine. Apple just need to update their web page. However, for the same money (or less) there are better earphones around.

Dr. Gampel spent close to a year doing research in local archives in Spain for his first book, The Last Jews on Iberian Soil. After much painstaking work, Dr. Gampel was able to re-create some of the long-forgotten history of the Jews of the Iberian peninsula. He also edited the volume Crisis and Creativity in the Sephardic World. Dr. Gampel returned to the Spanish archives for his current project, a book-length treatment of the riots and forced conversions of 1391 on the Iberian peninsula.
An energetic scholar and teacher, Dr. Gampel is dedicated to bringing the history of the Jews to a broad public audience. He has addressed synagogues and lay groups, organizations of all stripes, and scholarly conclaves.
Dr. Gampel received his doctorate from Columbia University.

Pallito supports restoration of community liaison committeeBy Susan Smallheer
Staff Writer | January 14,2014Photo by Len Emery
Vermont Corrections Commissioner Andrew Pallito speaks Monday at a meeting of the Springfield Rotary Club.SPRINGFIELD Corrections Commissioner Andrew Pallito said Monday the state supports resuming a community liaison committee with the town of Springfield dealing with issues at the state prison in Springfield.
Pallito, speaking at the Springfield Rotary Club, spoke in support of Gov. Peter Shumlins plan to put more emphasis on treatment for substance abusers rather than jail sentences. Shumlins State of the State address last week focused entirely on the opiate abuse problem facing the state.
Pallito, who was first appointed corrections commissioner by former Gov. James Douglas six years ago, said the Springfield prison, which opened in 2004, had become a transportation hub for inmates leaving the state for out-of-state prisons and for those out of state who are returning to Vermont.
In addition, he said, the elderly population in Vermonts prisons anyone older than 50, he said would likely be at the Springfield prison because of what Pallito said was a state-of-the-art infirmary. Last month, Howard Godfrey, 67, a convicted murderer from Kirby, died at the Springfield prison from what officials called a pre-existing medical condition.
Pallito said the per capita costs for inmates in Vermont ranged between $55,000 and $57,000 a year. He said because Vermont has seven community prisons, rather than one big prison, costs are higher.
Bob Flint, executive director of the Springfield Regional Development Corp., questioned Pallito why a once-promised vocational building was never built at the Springfield prison.
Pallito said the extra costs of building an access road up a steep incline to the prison site had wiped out the budget for the vocational building when the prison was built. But he said he supported having vocational activities for the inmates. Four hundred people have a lot of idle time, he said.
Flint also questioned why the prisons community liaison committee had been dropped, about a year after the prison opened.
The prison received its first inmate in October 2003. Construction had started in 2002 after years of negotiations with Springfield town officials about hosting the states maximum-security prison.
According to Town Manager Bob Forguites, the original committee was very active with a lot of feedback from the town residents on the new prison. Basically, we were telling them how to run the prison, he said. The committee was discontinued shortly afterward, he said.
The prison, which is off Interstate 91 on a hill out of sight, houses about 400 inmates and is one of seven prisons in the state. It is the states newest prison, and its where some of Vermonts most serious criminals are sent.
Inmates with long sentences are generally shipped out of state to facilities in Kentucky.
Kristi Morris, chairman of the Springfield School Board, later told Pallito that the public perception in Springfield was that crime had gone up in town since the prison opened.
Morris said personally he didnt believe the prison was the reason for the increase, but that was a complaint he heard in town.
Obviously, substance abuse is ramping up and petty crime with it, Morris said. Heavy crimes, such as murder, sexual assault and bank robbery, are still rare, he said.
I think he is trying to be as open as he can be, Morris said after Pallitos talk.

I purchased this shirt to add to my running attire for the cool/cold/coldest days. Wore it solo on a cool night run-it was perfect, layered it up with several other shirts but wore it as a baselayer for a sub-freezing run. It is such a great looking/fitting shirt I wear it with a casual skirt and boots to work. The wool is awesome, warm without getting hot. Highly recommend. My husband has now purchased his first Icebreaker shirt after I told him how awesome it was. Will be purchasing others soon. Worth every penny you pay! Love it, Love it, Love it!!!
My Icebreaker obsession started last year when I bought one tee at a small shop at Whistler. The girl warned me that it is very addicting and she was right. Wool has quickly been replacing all my smelly polyester. This shirt is great as a mid-weight midlayer and looks nice enough to wear to work. Kingfsher is a great turquoise color.
I got this for an upcoming camping trip, but couldn't wait to wear it. I'm not a huge fan of wool, but this is a very soft and comfortable shirt, it doesn't itch! It's starting to get cooler out now and this is perfect for when I need a little extra warmth but I don't want to put on a jacket yet and I usually feel pretty cold so this is great for me.
This top looks spiffy and does the trick when put to the test outdoors. I found myself in a late-summer snowstorm while mountaineering in the Alps last month, but stayed warm and cozy with this layer underneath my gore-tex shell. Love the neck design, which looks great folded down or provides lots of coverage zipped up. And thumb loops are always a major plus. Found the fit true to size and the odor-wicking almost too good...I should probably wash this more often, but it's easy to get away with days on end of wear. A quality product definitely worth the price.
I have the nordic/bluff in XS. It is fantastically soft and stretchy. This shirt is completely addictive, and I'm always sorry to take it off. Keeps me comfy all day on the trail and is soft and cozy at night. Fortunately, it doesn't hold odor, so you can wear it for a long time. The thumb loops are great. The fit is flattering. The neck seems too long on me, but I don't mind keeping it a little unzipped at my chin while it keeps the back of my neck warm. This shirt will keep you comfy in anything from freezing cold temps to 70s and is great either on its own or as a baselayer. Dries quickly. You CAN'T go wrong with this shirt, unless you have a very short neck.
I love to wear this top when I got skiing. The collar is tall enough you don't need a neck gaiter. I also like the thumb holes to help keep the sleeves down. I own two of them and like how I can dry clean or wash them. It's great to keep you cool in 70 degree temps. BUY IT
Icebreaker is now one of the only lines I buy due to quality and craftsmanship. Durable, great length, perfect weight, odor free, option for more hand coverage and the zip neck make it extremely versatile. Great looking which is always an extra bonus. Excellent product.
This sweater is very comfy and keeps you ridiculously warm. The neck is tall but sits nice. Sizing is a touch snug, but I was happy with my choice of small. In black it can even be dressed up to be a bit more formal, it just has a very polished look!

You're right. That does seem to be the overly simplistic argument you see put forward by gun nuts,
Posted 26 January 2013 - 20:49
Not yet. He will get around to full gun control. I agree that all Assault Weapons should be banned, but there are thousands out there already.

Posted 27 January 2013 - 00:17
You may call it overly simplistic but when the 10-year Public Safety and Recreational Firearms Use Protection Act was passed in '94 the picture in the OP accurately describes what happened (with assault weapons anyway). Criminals do not care what the law says. They will always find what they want if they have enough cash. Furthermore, some of the most horrific shootings involving assault weapons occurred while the ban was in effect.
This isn't about guns. It was never about guns. Liberal politicians are trying to desensitize the masses to an erosion of rights and liberties. Our president and his cronies are a bunch of radical communist nut-jobs. They seek to form a class of elites to control all of the resources and all of the people. Obama's current economic policy should be proof enough for that as he has made calculated moves to keep businesses off kilter as to keep unemployment high which increases dependence on the government. The trouble is few people understand what the REAL American Dream is - Obtaining a state of near total self reliance with limited government intervention. These are sad times in America and it will get worse before people wake up and hold their elected officials accountable.

do you need to calibrate annually ?

Product No Longer Available
2 Answers from the Community
I'm not sure of the timing aspect (annually or otherwise), but I can confirm: When you plug in the iPhone/iPad connection, if calibration is necessary, the built-in software will auto-start the process. A message pops up telling you of the need to calibrate, that it will now start, will take a few minutes, and don't disconnect. Start to finish took roughly 2-3 minutes, if that long. In other words, no hassle to/for the user.

Have you ever tried exhaling through a straw? It's not the easiest thing in the world to do, is it? The full power of your lungs is held back as you attempt to push the air through the narrow-diameter tube. The same holds true for your Corvette. If you force the engine to exhale through factory exhaust manifolds, you're preventing it from maximizing its horsepower output.
That's why this month we're bringing you Part 2 of our Official Guide to Corvette Headers. With the right header package (headers, downpipes, intermediate pipes, and catalytic converters, if needed) and a well-matched exhaust system ("Great Pipes," Aug. '09), you should be able to all but eradicate the exhaust-gas flow restrictions that prevent your Corvette from reaching its full potential.
Because determining the right header system for your Corvette is a personal choice based upon numerous factors, we won't be favoring one brand over another. Instead, we're simply listing the remainder of the brands (L through T) and allowing them to state their case. All that's left is for you to decide which of them is right for your car.
LG Motorsports
(972) 429-1963
Brief description:
Our headers come from 30-plus years of racing experience; no other header system is as complete or holds as many professional wins and records. We offer the only Corvette long-tube headers in the world to feature a true merge race-car collector in a complete engine-to-muffler bolt-on design with no modifications required. (High-flow cats are also available and replaceable.)
Trademark features:
We use top-quality 304 stainless-steel construction throughout, and every kit comes complete with all pipes, clamps, and 02-sensor extensions needed to make it a true bolt-on system. All of our headers carry a lifetime guarantee.
Quote from company:
"Dyno tests have consistently shown that our title holds true: 'The Most Powerful Corvette Headers on the Planet.'"
McJacks Corvettes
(714) 775-2799
Brief description:
The Pro-Series headers we make were designed and manufactured for one specific reason: no one else made them. We've always specialized in Corvettes and their exhaust systems. For years customers would call and ask for a direct-fit, bolt-on header. Finally the day has come. After two years of designing and redesigning, and many different configurations, we've come up with two perfect designs: shorty headers for small- and big-block Corvette engines!
Trademark features:
Our small-block headers for C1s and C2s replace the ram-horn, cast-iron factory manifolds. No cutting, welding, or endless trips to the muffler shop are required; these headers can be installed in your own garage in a matter of hours. Add a new set of McJacks Pro-Series headers and you'll have the increase in performance and the show look of ceramic-coated headers.
Our big-block headers for C2s and C3s come with square flanges that perfectly match the square ports on your Corvette-that means no more exhaust leaks! No one else arranges all eight 2-inch tubes around the lower crossmember, steering box, idler arm, motor mounts, and even the clutch jack shaft (for four-speed owners), and still leaves clearance for your mounting bolts and spark plugs. Just like our small-block headers, your big-block header transformation easily can be accomplished on a Saturday afternoon in your garage!
Quote from company:
"Ceramic-coated on the outside and copper-coated on the inside, keeping the 2,100-degree heat inside the tube. Wahoo!"
