Parents told stories of children bursting into tears, berating themselves for being "idiots" and spending hours agonizing over homework at the Sag Harbor School District's math curriculum workshop Monday night, voicing concern over the implementation of the Common Core Learning Standards (CCLS).
"The first thing we say to her is get out your math homework," said Christa Schleicher of her daughter, who is in seventh grade at Pierson Middle/High School.
Concerned parents, mostly of seventh graders, filled the Pierson Library to hear a presentation led by Sag Harbor Elementary School Principal Matt Malone and Pierson Principal Jeff Nichols, with assistance from their math teachers.
Developed by the National Governors Association and the Council of Chief State School Officers, the Common Core is a set of educational standards for kindergarten through 12th grade that states voluntarily adopt. CCLS has been adopted by 45 states. New York State (NYS) adopted CCLS in July 2010, but it is being phased in over several years.
Every seat in the library was filled as parents showed up to express their discontent with the Common Core program, which many believe was rolled out haphazardly without clear direction from the state and to the detriment of students.
"It's not specific or indigenous to Sag Harbor," said Nichols, who has three children in the Southampton Intermediate School. "Everybody is struggling with these same issues."
"We really want to commend the effort of all the instructors in our district who are working through this new initiative," said Malone. "There's a lot of challenges and in a way we've all kind of been thrown into it."
At the end of the 2012/2013 school year, NYS math assessments for students in third through eighth grade measured CCLS. Nichols said state assessments assume kids going into the seventh grade curriculum had Common Core instruction since kindergarten, when in reality, mathematics instruction was not fully aligned with CCLS until the 2012/2013 school year for students in grades three through eight and the 2013/2014 school year for high school students.
"That assumption is a big assumption to me," Nichols said Monday evening, adding that the pacing of the modules is also inaccurate. "They say a lesson will take 40 minutes…reality is it's not 40 minutes, it's 60 or 70 minutes."
"As a school," he continued, "what we struggle with and what I'm struggling with is to what extent do we let mathematics dominate the landscape?"
Nichols said about an hour and a half of math homework each night is on pace with the modules, a time requirement many parents said is overwhelming for their kids.
"It's a lot more rigorous," said Diana Kolhoff, a Sag Harbor resident and math consultant. "So some of the historical traditions that these schools have had are running into trouble with the Common Core. Things that had worked in the past are no longer working."
"This is probably the most exciting part but also the most challenging part," said Malone. "This is the part where you wrestle with, 'are we presenting things in the best way to kids?' Because it's really challenging and it's causing kids to have to work a lot harder than they had to before."
"I get it all and I get that they're reprogramming," said Schleicher. "My struggle and our struggle at home is the amount of it. My daughter, she's beginning to despise math because it's so much…she's getting it, she's getting better at it, but it's just taking too long."
"I'm dealing with the same thing with my children," Nichols said, calling it a "juggling act" because by diminishing homework, the students fall behind the state's expected pace in the classroom. He said they are trying to gauge how fast teachers can go without turning kids off math.
"If we have to tweak our workload and at the end of the day where our students are at, we'll do so," said Nichols, who has already implemented a few modifications.
To increase instructional time and hopefully minimize time spent on math at home, Pierson added a lab period designed to reinforce the CCLS lesson for students in seventh grade and algebra classes.
Middle School Assistant Principal Brittany Miaritis said lab time provides the students with far more one-on-one learning instruction than available in the classroom setting. Teacher Richard Terry said it has been "very helpful" for his seventh grade students. Additionally, several senior math teachers were moved from the high school to the middle school two years ago, due to their comprehension of what would be required of those students later on.
Although they recognized its challenges, the teachers in attendance appeared to be proponents of the CCLS methodology. Fifth grade teachers George Kneeland and JoAnn Kelly shared a CCLS fluency activity, a fast-paced drill that is supposed to be a fun way to measure a student's personal best. Kelly said her students love sprints, asking for them almost every day.
Kneeland then introduced an application problem, or "problem of the day," which is designed to be strategically linked to previous lessons and concepts.
"We were just taught a methodology for doing it and we did it," he said of his grade school experience. "The Common Core philosophy is taking a step deeper and looking at things so we get a pictorial understanding and more concrete understanding and then transition to what's called the standard algorithm."
Janice Arbia, who has four children in the school district, asked, "When they're actually grading these tests, does it matter how they do it?"
The intent, Malone said, is for students to grasp what they were asked to do, so they can choose the way of solving the problem that works best for them. Energy is devoted to the concepts instead of the calculations.
"One of the big shifts now," added Terry, "is rather than have a teacher standing in front of the students doing all of this work, the students are becoming an active participant in the lesson."
"My students coming up this year in geometry are significantly stronger than they've been in the past and I expect that trend to continue," said high school teacher Chase Malia. "I really think my students are much better prepared than they've been in the past."
The administrators said their model of approach relies on feedback from teachers, parents and students. Nichols said that while some parents say their children are overwhelmed, others say they like the rigor and their kids are thriving. He plans to administer a survey to hear students' opinions on how much they can handle.
"We do have an obligation to make sure that we safeguard kids' emotional well being," said Nichols. "And if in fact we're asking too much of them in terms of the amount of homework, this survey will be able to generate some data related to that."

First-time writer-director Adam Reid has a lightly endearing touch as he allows the actors plenty of space to be warm without being cute.
Adam Reid's smart, poignant trilogy of interwoven vignettes, manages the considerable feat of creating six fully human characters who are quirky enough to transcend the stereotypes found in a typical indie film.
May 26, 2011Though it can occasionally seem like an indie-dramedy answer to "The Grudge," structured to pack in the maximum moments of whimsical connection instead of supernatural kills, the film does find something deeper in its treatment of Smith and Lloyd.
The parts are ultimately greater than the whole, but Adam Reid's offbeat debut suggests a talent worth watching.
Hello Lonesome isn't really that much of a movie, but it has something that a number of more polished pictures in the same vein don't: human decency. Sadly, that's noteworthy.
May 25, 2011Each of the three intercut stories in Hello Lonesome - all dealing with characters trying to overcome solitude - begins promisingly enough. Eventually, though, they all run aground on questionable decisions.
The same laxity given to the performers extends, unfortunately, to the film's structuring, a lazy Susan rotation between storylines and monotonous settings.

Google search : Dual antenna wifi router.
2. Your modem TKD 318-EUI may be identical to Ut300r2U
refer links below.
3. please mention Range of WIFI activity. ( Radius and height) Usually these wifi routers may give max Range Of 30 TO 40 FEET.
Or try buy an unit with detachable antenna, so that improved dish antenna etc can be fabricated or purchased if needed.

Thanks for reply essbebe.
Your modem TKD 318-EUI may be identical to Ut300r2U
refere links below.
My budget is maximum 2k. The Netgear and Belkin are within Rs.1600/-. The whole idea of purchasing the modem is that MTNL is asking for Rs. 1100/- as one time non-refundable fees and RS. 75 per month. I think it is better to buy own modem.
Can you please recommend the modem that is within this budget and works well with MTNL. ( starting range of Dual antenna wifi router is 3k )

Radius of operation :Total area of my duplex flat is 129.6 sq. meters
Height involved: There are 10 stairs we need to climb to reach first floor of the house.
Obstructions/steel/concrete/ open space etc. : I have windows xp based desktop at first floor where I would be keeping my router. It is at the end of the room on first floor.
I would like to create wirelss network (to stream movies/music/photos) and acess the net from lower floor.
Basis my budget, following are my options: Linksys WRT54G 2.4 ghz (which I guess is double antenna), Belkin 150N, Netgear WGR614 - N150, AND wifi router provided by MTNL.
My main use of wifi would be with acryan playon!HD player, connected to 11N wireless antenna.
Which one should I go for?. (I am getting Linksys for Rs.1300)

You have also recommended in your earlier post that two antenna router are good. As per shopkeeper, linksys is two antenna router, but is G series (I one I have choosen). Is G series router good enough for network sharing and internet browsing ( say watching online movies).
Since have heard from diffent people that Linksys router are best in this segement. That is why want to know if go for linksys G series or Belkin N series. It is not be possible for me to check different routers at home.
So, need suggestion on which one to choose for given purpose, area and within the allocated budget.

Honorary Degree to Celebrate Delta Activist
Grassroots activist Gertrude Jackson, who for 60 years worked for civil rights, social change, and racial justice in the Arkansas Delta, will receive an honorary degree at UALR's fall commencement ceremonies Thursday, Dec. 20, in the Jack Stephens Center.
"Unsung activists like Ms. Jackson are often the lifeblood of impoverished Arkansas Delta communities in helping to sustain daily life," Chancellor Joel E. Anderson said in nominating Jackson for the honor.
"The award of an honorary degree recognizes the contributions of Jackson and other women like her whose efforts are significant yet all too often sidelined because they remain out of the headlines and out of sight."
In the mid-1960s, Jackson and her husband, a farmer in a community beyond Turner and south of Marvell in Phillips County, invited the area Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) field secretary to hold weekly meetings in the community's church to give people an outlet to air grievances.
"Local people like the Jacksons were crucial in forming an all-important bridge between external groups like SNCC and local Arkansas communities," said History Department chair and Donaghey Professor Dr. John A. Kirk, co-editor of "Arsnick: The Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee in Arkansas," published by the University of Arkansas Press in 2011.
When the white-dominated school board ignored sewer backups in the segregated Turner Elementary School, the Jacksons organized families to keep their children home until the problem was corrected. Buoyed by that success, the people enlisted Jackson to lead efforts to improve school conditions.
"In 1966, she and her husband led a boycott of schools and launched a class action lawsuit for desegregation that was upheld by the U.S. Court of Appeals," the chancellor said.
Jackson helped lead a group to establish the Boys, Girls, Adults Community Development Center that continues today in Marvell aimed at developing the full potential of poor children and their families. It continues to be a center of community life in the Marvell area. Now in her 80s, Jackson still volunteers at the center, working for the children and youth of her community.
Gertrude Newsome Jackson was born in Madison, Ill., and attended a reputable public school blocks from her home. She was in the second grade when her family moved to Gum Bottom, an area near the Turner community, to operate the family's small farm. She had to walk nine miles a day to attend a one-room school for black children that covered grades one through eight. She later attended a high school for black students in Marvell that only went to the 10th grade.
Jackson and her husband, Earlis Jackson, are the parents of 11 children, all of whom graduated from high school. Seven earned college degrees.

The Egyptian cobra (Naja haje), commonly confused with the snouted cobra (Naja annulifera), is a type of venomous snake native to North Africa and the Middle East. The Egyptian cobra is the most common cobra in Africa and is responsible for many deaths there. Its range extends from the Sahara Desert to the Syrian Desert. The Egyptian cobra, like all other cobras, raises its hood when in danger.
The Egyptian cobra is nocturnal, but it can be seen basking in the sun at times in the early morning. Females lay 8-33 eggs in termite mounds, and the eggs hatch after an incubation time of 60 days.
The Egyptian cobra may grow to 5'-6'8" (1.5-2m) in length and specimens as long as 8' have been seen in some areas. This snake preys on small mammals, lizards, toads, and other snakes, including the puff adder and the Cape Cobra.
A stylised Egyptian Cobra, representing the goddess Wadjet, was the symbol of sovereignty of the pharaohs, and therefore it is also called Uraeus serpent.

After losing increasing amounts of business to the Internet the last few years, the post office is taking matters into their own hands to try to stop the bleeding.
About the only place the U.S. Postal Service has seen growth is in growth in package volume, so they will attempt to take advantage of that by implementing a service called Metro Post, scheduled to begin testing in San Francisco on December 12.
The Post Office will have working agreements with as many as ten retailers for same-day delivery under Metro Post, according to an Associated Press report on Yahoo! Finance. People using the service can place an order online and click "same-day delivery," and the Postal Service plans to deliver that order between 4:00 and 8:00 p.m. that same day.
USPS spokesperson Susan McGowan said the new service offers more delivery options for customers. She said, according to Consumer Affairs, "This helps us achieve our goals of enhancing our package business and giving customers better access and service."
The project expects to earn between $10 to $50 million in San Francisco deliveries. The Post Office just reported nearly $16 billion in losses last week.
The U. S. Postal Service made a billion dollars in profits under late Postmaster Marvin Runyon after they had been losing millions for years in the late 1990s, New York University Professor Steve Hutkins said, according to the Ventura County Star. Hutkins said Runyon eliminated 23,000 management jobs during his time.
Amazon, e-Bay and Wal-Mart already offer same-day shipping. The Post Office expects to expand their service if testing goes well.

7th Cavalry
|7th Cavalry
7th Cavalry patch
The 7th Cavalry Regiment is a Tactical Realism unit that has multiple areas of operation. It includes Arma 3, Battlefield 4, Call of Duty 4 and Insurgency. Its official battle cry is "Garry Owen", in honor of the Irish drinking song Garry Owen that was adopted as the march tune of the real life 7th Cavalry.
Unit Organisation
The 7th Cavalry Regiment is currently comprised of 2 Battalions.
1st Battalion
1st Battalion covers ArmA 3 operations and is comprised of three companies: Alpha Company, Bravo Company and Charlie Company. The 1st Battalion Training Unit is responsible for training all of the new troopers assignment to 1st Battalion. Alpha Company is composed of 2 platoons; 1st platoon (transport rotary) and 2nd platoon (attack rotary/multirole fixed wing). Bravo Company is composed of 2 platoons; 1st platoon (armour) and 2nd platoon (mechanized/heavy weapons infantry). Charlie Company is composed of 2 platoons; 1st platoon (airborne infantry) and 2nd platoon (mobile engineerign/indirect fire support).
2nd Battalion
2nd Battalion covers Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, Battlefield 4, and Insurgency operations and is comprised of two companies: Bravo Company and Delta Company. Bravo Company is composed of 3 platoons: 1st platoon (CoD4), 2nd platoon (CoD4), and 4th platoon (INS). Delta Company is composed of 3 platoons: 1st platoon (aviation), 2nd platoon (armour/mechanized infantry), and 3rd platoon (airborne infantry).
History of the 7th Cavalry Regiment (Clan)
General Plumbly started the 7th Cavalry Regiment in 2002. The unit's original area of operation was Medal Of Honor Allied Assault. The 7th Cavalry name was picked due to a combination of things. The first was that General Plumbly wished to pick a unit steeped in tradition and one that was not being utilized by any other unit at the time. So one night, while watching the movie "We were Soldiers," the idea came to him.
The early years
The 7th Cavalry was formed 15 October 2002. The first year was very slow for the 7th Cavalry due to the fact that General Plumbly, then Col. Plumbly, was new to running a clan. It took time to get a website. Communications and servers were also a spotty issue.
By late 2003 the 7th Cavalry had progressed to Call of Duty and had obtained a website, communications, and a server. The growth of the 7th Cavalry had begun. The Cav expanded into Call Of Duty United Offensive and the enlistments boomed. The 7th Cavalry grew and grew quickly. It became a recognized unit in the gaming community and quickly grew to between 50 to 100 troopers at any given time.
Toward the end of 2004, the 7th Cavalry broke into the then-new Americas Army and gained a new kind of following in the realism genre. Enlistments quickly soared to well over 100 troopers. Due to the nature of the game, and the fact that hackers were abundant, the Command Staff decided it would be in the Regiment's best interests to shut down Americas Army.
Hard Times
2005 - 2006 were stellar years for the 7th Cavalry Regiment. The Cav fought several wars with the 3/77 Tigers Unit, and succeeded in being victorious! However, it did see some inner turmoil. Several Break-Off units formed. The first was the United Fighting Force run by several former high-ranking members of the 7th Cavalry. This clan started a war with the 7th Cavalry but was quickly and soundly destroyed, never to be heard from again. Approximately 8 months later The Teabag Crew broke away taking approximately 20 members. By the end of 2006 more troubles were on the horizon. Several high-ranking members of the 7th Cavalry began to spread dissention in the ranks; making false allegations against General Plumbly and then fabricated lies thus causing a major split within the cav. The HCMR was formed. Taking approximately 30 or more members from the 7th Cavalry. At this time, General Plumbly was on an ELOA due to having moved and not having an internet connection.
At the beginning of 2007, General John returned from an LOA and began to try and restructure the 7th Cavalry in General Plumbly's absence. However this was met with great resistance by the remaining members. Thus causing the final split, The Beergut Brigade was formed.
General Plumbly then had enough of running the 7th Cavalry and closed the doors for the first time in 5 years. However, the Cav wasn't dead! With the coming of Call of Duty 4, General Plumbly, General John and General Cavtrooper saw the future of the Cav!
A New Era
On 20 October 2010, General Plumbly retired. General Unix assumed command, with General Bahama serving as Executive officer.
History of the 7th Cavalry Regiment (Real Life Unit)
The 7th Cavalry Regiment is a United States Army cavalry regiment, whose lineage traces back to the mid-19th century. Its official nickname is "Garry Owen", in honor of the Irish drinking song Garryowen that was adopted as its march tune.
Indian Wars
The regiment was constituted on July 28, 1866 in the Regular Army as the 7th Cavalry. It was organized on September 21, 1866 at Fort Riley, Kansas as part of an expansion of the Regular Army following the demobilization of the wartime volunteer and draft forces. From 1866 through 1871, the regiment was posted at Fort Riley and fought in the Indian Wars, notably at the Battle of the Washita in 1868.
Typical of post-Civil War cavalry regiments, the Seventh was organized as a twelve company regiment without formal battalion organization. However, battalions — renamed "squadrons" in 1883 — did exist. Companies A–D were assigned to 1st Battalion; Companies E–H were assigned to 2nd Battalion; and Companies I–M (no company J in Regiment) were assigned to 3rd Battalion. Throughout this period, the cavalryman was armed with Colt Single Action Army .45 caliber revolvers and single shot Springfield carbines, caliber .50–70 until 1870 and caliber .45–70 until 1892. He used one of the many variants of the McClellan saddle. Sabres were issued but not carried on campaign. The Seventh was the only U.S. cavalry regiment of the period to have a band, as the infantry regiments did also. This is thought to have been the idea of Major Alfred Gibbs. This band adopted "Garry Owen" as their favorite tune and thus gave the Seventh their nickname among the rest of the Army. The troopers in the West didn't only fight Indians: on July 17, 1870 in Hays, Kansas a shoot-out between Sheriff Wild Bill Hickok and two troopers resulted in one soldier dead of wounds and one wounded. From 1871 through 1873, 7th Cavalry companies participated in constabulary duties in the deep American South in support of the Reconstruction Act, and, for half the regiment, again in 1874–1876. In 1873 the 7th Cavalry moved its garrison post to Fort Abraham Lincoln, Dakota Territory. From here, the regiment carried out the historic reconnaissance of the Black Hills in 1874, making the discovery of gold in the Black Hills public and starting a gold rush that precipitated the Great Sioux War of 1876-77. Lieutenant Colonel George A. Custer was defeated at the Battle of the Little Bighorn on June 25 and 26, 1876. Although the Seventh is best known for its catastrophic defeat at the Little Bighorn, the regiment also participated in at least one victory: the capture of Chief Joseph's Nez Perce at the Battle of Bear Paw in 1877. The Regiment perpetrated the Wounded Knee Massacre on December 29, 1890, the end of the Indian Wars.
Before World War II
In 1892, the Army replaced the Springfield .45–70 Rifle with the U.S. Magazine Rifle, Model 1892, also known as the .30–40 Krag-Jorgensen Rifle. A carbine version, the M1896, was issued in 1896.
From 1895 until 1899, the Regiment served in New Mexico (Fort Bayard) and Oklahoma (Ft. Sill), then overseas in Cuba (Camp Columbia) from 1899 to 1902. An enlisted trooper with the Seventh Cavalry, "B" Company, from May 1896 until March 1897 at Fort Grant Arizona Territory was author Edgar Rice Burroughs.
In 1903, the Army replaced the Krag .30–40 with the M1903 Springfields, initially in caliber .30–03 and later in its more familiar .30–06 form. In 1911, the Army adopted the M1911 Automatic Colt Pistol, replacing the Colt single and double action .45 and .38 caliber revolvers.
The Regiment served in the Philippines during the Philippine-American War from 1904 through 1907, with a second tour from 1911 through 1915. Back in the United States, the Regiment was once again stationed in the southwest, in Arizona (Camp Harvey J. Jones), where it patrolled the U.S.-Mexico border and later was part of the Mexican Punitive Expedition of 1916 to 1917. In December 1917, 7th Cavalry was assigned to the 15th Cavalry Division, an on-paper organization designed for service in France during World War I that was never more than a simple headquarters because of the speed in which the war ended after the entry of the United States. 7th Cavalry was released from this assignment in May 1918. On September 13, 1921, 7th Cavalry Regiment was assigned to the 1st Cavalry Division, which assignment was maintained until 1957. The Division and its 2nd Brigade was garrisoned at Fort Bliss, Texas, while the 1st Brigade was garrisoned at Douglas, Arizona. Additional garrison points were used as well.
The 7th Cavalry Regiment continued to train as horse cavalry right up to World War II, including participation in several training maneuvers at the Louisiana Maneuver Area on April 26, 1940 – May 28, 1940; August 12–22, 1940; and August 8, 1941 – October 4, 1941.
World War II
The 7th Cavalry Regiment was dismounted on February 28, 1943, and started packing up for deployment to the Pacific Theater, still part of 1st Cavalry Division. The 7th Cavalry staged at Camp Stoneman, California on June 18, 1943, and departed the San Francisco Port of Embarkation on June 26, 1943. It arrived in Australia on July 11, 1943, where it trained for combat, and then participated in the New Guinea campaign, which began on January 24, 1943, and did not end until December 31, 1944.
The regiment was relieved from duty in this campaign, and moved on to be reorganized under special Cavalry and Infantry Tables of Organization & Equipment on December 4, 1943, and then trained for combat and participated in the Bismarck Archipelago campaign, which started on December 15, 1943, and did not end until November 27, 1944. The 7th Cavalry moved to Oro Bay, New Guinea on February 22, 1944, and moved by Landing Craft to Negros Island to reinforce the units there on March 4, 1944, securing Lombrum Plantation.
The 7th Cavalry moved on to Hauwei Island, which it secured on March 12–13, 1944. The regiment continued on, and arrived at Lugos Mission on Manus Island on March 15, 1944.
The Leyte campaign started on October 17, 1944, and 7th Cavalry moved on towards the Philippines, and assaulted Leyte on October 20, 1944. 7th Cavalry reached the Visayan Sea in late December, 1944, and reassembled with the 1st Cavalry Division near Tunga on January 7, 1945. Leyte did not end until July 1, 1945, but 7th Cavalry was needed for the Luzon campaign, which started on December 15, 1944. Deploying again by landing craft, 7th Cavalry landed at Luzon on January 27, 1945, where the regiment engaged until the end of the Luzon campaign on July 4, 1945. 7th Cavalry again reorganized — this time entirely under Infantry Tables of Organization & Equipment, but still designated as a Cavalry Regiment, on July 20, 1945 to prepare for the invasion of the main Japanese islands. However, the invasion was not to be. 7th Cavalry Regiment was at Lucena Batangas in the Philippines until September 2, 1945, when it was moved to Japan to start Occupation duty.
Occupation of Japan and Korea
The 7th stayed in Japan as part of the occupation force. Coincidentally, one of its officers during this period was Lt. Col. Brice C. W. Custer, the nephew of former commander George Armstrong Custer.
During World War II and the Korean War, it used the main weapons of the U.S. Army (namely, the M1 Garand, M1 Carbine, M1911A1, and BAR). However, it converted to a tank unit, and used mainly the M26 Pershing. The conduct of 7th Cavalry soldiers with respect to their involvement with the massacre at No Gun Ri during the early part of the Korean War has come under fire. Their story is most fully told by a veteran of the regiment, historian and Army Captain Robert Bateman, who wrote a book on the event using veterans' accounts and historical documents.
7th Cavalry Regiment was reorganized under a new Table of Organization & Equipment on March 25, 1949, when the Troops were once again designated as Companies.
Cold War
The regiment was relieved from its assignment to the 1st Cavalry Division on October 15, 1957, and then reorganized under the Combat Arms Regimental System (CARS) on November 1, 1957. HQ & HQ Company transferred to the control of the Department of the Army. November 1, As part of this reorganization, Company "A" redesignated, 1st Battle Group, 7th Cavalry and assigned to the 1st Cavalry Division. Company "B" redesignated 2nd Reconnaissance Squadron, 7th Cavalry and Company "C" redesignated, 3d Reconnaissance Squadron, 7th Cavalry and assigned to the 10th Infantry Division.
After the Korean War, 7th Cavalry was used mainly in a reconnaissance role. It received the M14 rifle, along with various other new weapons and equipment (including the Patton tank). Also, a few OH-13s were used by the reconnaissance squadrons.
Three battalions, the 1st, 2nd and 5th served during the Vietnam War as the 3rd Brigade of the 1st Cavalry Division. 3rd Brigade often self-referred itself as the "Garryowen Brigade". These troopers were armed with the new M16 rifle, the M203 grenade launcher replacing the M79 grenade launcher. Claymore mines, and Bell UH-1B helicopters were also used extensively. The experiences of the 1st and 2nd Battalions at the Battle of Ia Drang in November, 1965, were recounted in the book We Were Soldiers Once...And Young by Lt Gen Harold G. Moore, then a lieutenant colonel and commander of the 1st Battalion, and United Press International correspondent Joseph L. Galloway. The book was later adapted into the film We Were Soldiers, with Mel Gibson as Moore and Barry Pepper as Galloway. The other 2 units, the 3rd and 4th reconnaissance squadrons were based in Germany, and Korea.
The 1st, 2nd, and 5th battalions were deactivated after the Vietnam war, and only the 3rd and 4th squadrons remained as divisional reconnaissance squadrons assigned to the 3rd Infantry Division and 2nd Infantry Division respectively. Both the 3rd and 4th squadrons were aviation-tank cavalry squadrons using M60 Patton tank, M113 & M114 Armored Personnel Carriers. Both squadrons had an air cavalry "Delta" Troop, that had both reconnaissance & gunship UH-1B's. The gunships were armed with M-5 rocket launchers, and M-22 anti-tank guided missiles. In the early 80's the 3rd Squadron became the divisional cavalry squadron for the 3rd Infantry Division and was stationed at Ledward & Coleman Barracks Schweinfurt West Germany. The Squadron consisted of two ground troops, two aviation troops and a headquarters troop. The ground troops were equipped with M60A3 tanks, M113 Armored Personnel Carriers, ITV (Improved TOW Vehicle, an M113 variant) and a mortar section with 4.2 inch mortars mounted in an M113 variant. In 1989 the M60 tanks were replaced with M1A1 Abrams tanks. The aviation troops were equipped with OH-58 scout helicopters and AH-1 Cobra attack helicopters. On November 16, 1992, the Squadron was inactivated in Germany and relieved of assignment to the 8th Infantry Division. The Headquarters and Headquarters Troop consolidated on December 16, 1992 with the 3rd Reconnaissance Company and designated as Headquarters and Headquarters Troop, 3rd Squadron, 7th Cavalry. On February 16, 1996, the squadron was assigned to the 3rd Infantry Division and activated at Fort Stewart, Georgia as the Division Cavalry Squadron and became the "Eyes and Ears" of the Marne Division, the "Iron Fist" of the XVIII Airborne Corps. The Squadron has been involved in several deployments since then including Operation Desert Spring in Kuwait, Operation Joint Forge in Bosnia, and Operation Iraqi Freedom. The Squadron was reassigned to the 2nd Brigade Combat Team of the 3rd Infantry Division in 2004 and as the Brigade's Armored Reconnaissance Squadron. Combat operations for Operation Iraqi Freedom III began on February 4, 2005 when the Squadron arrived at Forward Operating Base Rustamiyah located in southeast Baghdad. Immediately upon arrival, the Squadron began patrolling the area east of the Tigris River in the Rusafa and New Baghdad districts as well as securing Route Pluto North, one of the primary supply routes for the Division.
However, between 1974 and 1975 other units were reactivated. The 1st Battalion became an armored unit, the 2nd Battalion remained an air mobile unit with a recon platoon using motorycles moved by helicopters. After 1975, the 2nd and 5th Battalion were reorganized as mechanized infantry. In 1978, the 5th Battalion was once again deactivated.
Persian Gulf War
The 1st Squadron and 4th Squadron fought in the Persian Gulf War. The 1st Squadron was the divisional cavalry squadron for the 1st Cavalry Division and assigned to the Division's aviation brigade.
The 4th Squadron was also the divisional cavalry squadron for 3rd Armored Division, taking part of the Battle of Phase Line Bullet. Ground troops were armed with the M3A1 Bradley CFV. Air cavalry Troops AH-1F Cobras, OH-58C scouts.
Iraq War
The 1st Squadron served in the 1st Cavalry Division's 5th Brigade Combat Team (BCT) during its first deployment in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom II from April 1, 2004 to April 1, 2005. The 1st Squadron, 7th United States Cavalry Regiment, commanded by LTC William R.Salter, distinguished itself by extraordinary valor and gallantry while executing combat operations in the Al Rashid District of Baghdad, Iraq. The Squadron defeated a surge of enemy attacks and neutralized insurgent and terrorist elements within its Area of Operations (AO) through a combination of constant day to day interaction with the populace, adaptable tactics and the tenacious fighting spirit of its troopers. In addition to securing an AO of 68km2 with a population of more than 1.2 million, the Squadron also secured ROUTE IRISH, a strategic highway and Multi-National Corps-Iraq (MNC-I) Main Supply Route connecting the International Zone (IZ) to the Baghdad International Airport (BIAP). The Squadron was also instrumental in providing a secure environment during the first Iraqi democratic election in January 2005. 1st Squadron, 7th Cavalry Regiment was awarded the Meritorious Unit Citation for its actions during this campaign. Most recently 1-7 CAV, commanded by LTC Kevin S. MacWatters, deployed as the Armed Reconnaissance Squadron for 1st Brigade, 1st Cavalry Division in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom 06-08 (October 6, 2006 to January 15, 2008). The Squadron conducted full-spectrum operations as a part of Multi-National Division-Baghdad (MND-B)in the Taji Area of Operations. During this deployment the Squadron was instrumental in the destruction of multiple Improvised Explosive Device (IED)and
Vehicle Borne Improvised Explosive Device (VBIED)terrorist cells as a part of the "Surge", greatly enhancing MND-B's ability to secure Baghdad. The secure environment created by the Squadron in the Taji area enabled local government to take hold, local police and Iraqi Army forces to take over security operations, and the "Reconciliation" to successfully spread throughout the Area of Operations.
The 3rd Squadron fought in the Iraq War, Operation Iraqi Freedom and as the "Eyes and Ears" for the 3rd Infantry Division (Mechanized) and the "Iron Fist" for the XVIII Airborne Corps. The unit was engaged with the enemy earlier and more often in the war than any other unit. The 3rd Squadron was the spearhead and the screening force for the main elements of the 3rd Infantry Division. The 2nd Battalion was attached to the 39th BCT although assigned to 3d BCT. 1st CAV. Commanded by LTC James Rainey, the 2nd Battalion was the main combat power for the Battle of Fallujah in 2004. The U.S.M.C. personally requested the presence of the "Ghost Battalion" for the onslaught into the insurgent ran city. The Marines repeated their request for the Garry Owen Ghosts for the August 2004 battle in Najaf. The 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit (11th MEU) Commander, Col Tony Haslam, attributed their success in the city to the brave Soldiers of the 2nd Battalion.
The 2nd Battalion moved from 3rd BCT, 1st Cav Div, Ft Hood Texas, to Ft Bliss to become part of the newly formed 4th BCT and in October 2006 The 2nd Battalion again headed for Iraq this time to Mosul.

Oprah Winfrey could move her show from broadcast television to the OWN, or Oprah Winfrey Network, cable channel.
CHICAGO (AP) — Oprah Winfrey is selling Harpo Studios in Chicago to a developer, but the studio will remain on the property for another two years. Winfrey filmed "The Oprah Winfrey Show" at the studio from 1990 to 2011, when she ended the talk show to start the Oprah Winfrey Network on cable.
If she wrote a book about OWN, Oprah Winfrey said on CBS This Morning yesterday, she could call it 101 Mistakes. Oprah's No. 1 error? Launching her cable TV network "when we really weren't ready to launch," she confessed to best friend Gayle King and her co-host, Charlie Rose. About her 15-month-old joint venture with Discovery Communications (DISCA), Oprah added: "Had I known it was this difficult, I might have done something else." With the former daytime TV queen now averaging fewer than 300,000 viewers in primetime, might she pull the plug on her cable network and go back to broadcast?
When Oprah Winfrey searched for a president for her television network, the Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN), she whittled down applicants with a question that made some people very uncomfortable, she says at a recent presentation at the Stanford Graduate School of Business. One woman even burst out crying. It was: "What is your spiritual practice?"
GATINEAU, Que. — The federal broadcast regulators will take a look at the educational aspect of the Oprah Winfrey Network Canada to determine if it is meeting its licence requirements of broadcasting educational content.
The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications says it will hold a hearing next Tuesday looking into whether the network's shows are educational enough to meet its mandate.
Media company Corus Entertainment Inc. has the licence for the Oprah Winfrey Network Canada channel.
Before Oprah Winfrey became the $2.9 billion media mogul she is today, the TV personality started her career in local news. Oprah recently explained her career trajectory, saying, "There have always been patterns in my life — whenever I feel like I've grown enough in one place, I move on."

The Southwestern Illinois College Board of Trustees voted Wednesday to appoint interim athletic director Mike Juenger to the position permanently.
"Given his extensive experience with the college and the relationships he's built with schools and athletic programs throughout the community, we feel he'll be a great fit for the position," SWIC Vice President of Student Development Staci Clayborne said of Juenger who has served as the school's women's basketball coach since 1998.
Juenger said he is thrilled for the opportunity to continue and to advance in his career in his home town.
"I am very excited to take on this newest opportunity with SWIC and continuing the strong tradition of Blue Storm athletics in the community, region and nation," Juenger said. "As a Belleville native and former SWIC player, I can't think of a better place to continue my career."
Juenger will permanently replace longtime former athletic director and men's basketball coach Jay Harrington who retired last month.
Juenger, will continue to serve as women's basketball coach. School leaders said the men's basketball coach position will remain open until a new coach can be found with no interim person named at the Wednesday meeting.
School leaders said in June they wanted to have a permanent athletic director in place before a new men's basketball coach is selected to allow the new athletic director to be involved in the hiring process.
"Now that an athletic director has been appointed, we will move foreword with the process to advertise for a part-time men's basketball coach with a goal to make a hiring recommendation in the coming months," Clayborne said.
Juenger has a record of 335-182 as women's basketball coach. He has made five appearances at the National Junior College Athletic Association, placing as high as second in 2000.
In other SWIC business Wednesday, trustees accepted the resignation of Sam Wolf Granite City Campus executive director Frank Miles who decided to leave the school less than a year after he started.
Miles, previously the business development manager at the Tri-City Port District, started the SWIC job on the job Aug. 1, 2013. He left to come Administrator of Community Development for Madison County.
The board also decided to streamline its management for its Programs and Services for Older Persons organization. Three assistant director positions have been folded into two jobs which will be funded with grant money.
SWIC spokesman Mike Fleming said one of the assistant director jobs was open because of a retirement which made this a good time to reorganize.

Pan-fried rainbow trout
I belong to a CSF (Community Supported Fishery) here in NYC (run by the Village Fishmonger) and I have received rainbow trout as part of the Kosher share the past several weeks. I've tried a number of recipes for it and simply pan-frying it has easily been the tastiest and easiest option.
- Prep Time : 5-10 min
- Cook Time : 10-15 min
- Ready Time : 15 min
- 4 fillets
- 1 lemon zested and juiced
- 1/4 teaspoon thyme
- salt and pepper to taste
Place fillets flesh side down in lemon juice for 5 minutes. Flip fillet and sprinkle flesh side with lemon zest, salt, pepper and thyme.
Spray grill pan with olive oil mister or PAM and grill flesh side down on medium for five minutes, flip fillet and fry for an additional five minutes until the fillet is no longer pink on the inside.
Serve with roasted potatoes or rice with vegetables.

Due to angle strain, the bonds in three‐ and four‐membered carbon rings are weak. Because of these weak bonds, cyclopropane and cyclobutane undergo reactions that are atypical of alkanes. For example, cyclopropane reacts with halogens dissolved in carbon tetra‐chloride to form dihaloalkanes.
Under similar conditions, straight‐chain propane does not react.
In general, cycloalkanes undergo the normal reactions of the aliphatic alkanes (the straight‐chain and branched‐chain alkanes). Thus, cyclopentane will react with halogens in ultraviolet light to form halosubstituted cycloalkanes.
Cycloalkenes and cycloalkynes undergo the ordinary addition reactions of alkenes and alkynes. Cyclopropene, cyclopropyne, cyclobutene, and cyclobutyne also undergo ring‐opening reactions.

Contractors Challenge Prohibition Against Campaign ontributions
October 20, 2011
The federal law that prohibits individuals awarded government contracts from contributing to a federal election is unconstitutional, three contractors say in a lawsuit filed Wednesday against the Federal Election Commission.
Under the law, a person with a government contract cannot contribute to a candidate for federal office or to any political party or committee that is involved in federal elections.
The suit was filed by Jan Miller and Lawrence Brown, consultants for the U.S. Agency for International Development, and University of Texas law professor Wendy Wagner, who is doing research for the Administrative Conference of the United States.
In their complaint, the contractors say the law violates the Constitution's equal protection clause and the First Amendment.

About Hallmark Keepsake Ornaments:
In 1973, when Hallmark introduced six glass ball ornaments and 12 yarn figures as the first collection of Hallmark Keepsake Ornaments, a new tradition of Christmas decorating was started and a new collectible industry was born. When the first line was introduced, they were unique in design, year-dated, and available only for a limited time – innovations in the world of ornaments. Since 1973, Hallmark has introduced more than 8,000 different Keepsakes Ornaments and more than 100 ornament series, groups of ornaments that share a specific theme.
Today's Keepsake Ornaments reflect the way styles, materials, formats, and technology have expanded since they first appeared in Hallmark stores. Once a collection of decorated glass balls and yarn figures, Keepsake Ornaments are now made in a wide array of wood, glass, metal, porcelain, and handcrafted formats. Technology has also been incorporated into the world of Keepsake Ornaments through light, sound, and motion. The one thing that hasn't changed, however, is the superior craftsmanship and high quality that ensures Keepsake Ornaments will become family heirlooms and cherished collectibles.

Vermont has defeated UMBC (81-52), Stony Brook (77-42), Albany (77-54) and Maine (86-51) in America East action ... The other loss for the Catamounts' during conference action came at Boston University, a 58-47 decision.
Junior forward Candace Williams (Norfolk, Mass.) earned her seventh double-double of the season with 19 points and 10 rebounds at Binghamton (Jan. 28). She has one other double-double during America East action as she posted 21 points and pulled down 11 rebounds at UMBC (Jan. 10). Williams tallied four consecutive double-doubles from Dec. 14 to Dec. 30. She is the only player to achieve the feat in almost 30 years, as the last Wildcat player to do so was Karen Bolton, who notched five straight during the 1979-80 season. Williams also earned a double-double against Long Island (18p, 10r) on Nov. 28, 2008. The last Wildcat to earn at least seven double-doubles in a single season was Maren Matthais, who earned nine during the 2003-04 season.
Junior guard Amy Simpson (Waterford, Conn.), who hit three trifectas in back-to-back games, earned a three-game stretch in which she tallied five 3-pointers. The guard hit 5 of 15 trifecta attempts and totaled 21 points in the game against Dartmouth (Jan. 13). She went 5-for-13 from beyond the arc in both of the Wildcats' first two America East games. The guard totaled 17 points against Maine (Jan. 6) and a had career-high 28 points at UMBC (Jan. 10). Simpson, who is second on UNH's all-time 3-point field goals made list with 147 in her career, is third in the America East in scoring (19 ppg) during conference action. She has posted double figures in each of the past seven games for the Wildcats and has 15 10-plus point performances on the season.
Junior Candace Williams (Norfolk, Mass.) is the only player in the America East conference to rank in the top three in both scoring and rebounding. She is the conference leader in rebounding (8.0 rpg) and is third in scoring, averaging 16.8 points per game.
The Wildcats, who averaged 54.4 points per game in non-conference action, have turned up the heat during America East play as they average 11.9 more points per game during conference action (66.3 ppg).
Sophomore Kate Early (Corning, N.Y.), who has started in each of the past three games, recently posted a career-high 12 points in the Wildcats' win against Albany (Jan. 24). When the forward starts she averages 6 points per game and 5.6 rebounds per game, up from 2.5 ppg and 3.7 rpg when coming off the bench.
Candace Williams (Norfolk, Mass.) has posted double-figures in all 20 games to start the season, including back-to-back 25-plus point games. She had a career-high 27-point performance at Boston University (Jan. 17), then posted 26 at Stony Brook (Jan. 21). The forward just bypassed Maren Matthias' 18 straight 10-plus point streak to open up the 2003-04 season. In 1998-99, Orsi Farkas posted double figures in all 31 games for the Wildcats.
Juniors Candace Williams (Norfolk, Mass.) and Amy Simpson (Waterford, Conn.) tallied 26 and 21 points, respectively, in the Wildcats win at Stony Brook on Jan. 21. They also combined for 49 of the Wildcats 85 points at UMBC (Jan. 10) as Simpson posted 28 and Williams had 21. This marked the first duo of Wildcat players to hit 20-plus points in the same game since Nov. 26, 2005 when Danielle Clark (22) and Ray Williams (20) did so versus Cornell.
Assistant Coach Mountain MacGillivray served as assistant coach to the 2000 America East Champion Vermont Catamounts, the squad that MacAulay played on.
Sophomore center Jill McDonald reigns from Middlebury, Vt. She led the Middlebury Union Tigers to the 2004 Vermont state championship and was selected WDEV Palyer of the Game.
Jen MacAulay, who served as the Grad Assistant Coach fhr the Wildcats last season, returned to her alma mater as an assistant coach for women's basketball. MacAulay played ball for the Catamounts from 1998-2002 and was named a co-captain in 2000-01. She helped the team win the 2000 America East Championships en route to a NCAA tournament berth.

But when the hunky craftsman turns up dead with a strange hex symbol near his corpse, Maggie wonders if the craft involved is the witchy kind.

Cefalu, A; Boehm, J; (2009) Three-dimensional object recognition using a monoscopic camera system and CAD geometry information. In: Proceedings of SPIE - The International Society for Optical Engineering.
Full text not available from this repository.
Current research conducted by the Institute for Photogrammetry at the Universitaet Stuttgart aims at the determination of a cylinder head's pose by using a single monochromatic camera. The work is related to the industrial project RoboMAP, where the recognition's result will be used as initiating information for a robot to position other sensors over the cylinder head. For this purpose a commercially available view-based algorithm is applied, which itself needs the object's geometry as a-priori information. We describe the general functionality of the approach and present the results of our latest experiments. The results we achieved show that the accuracy as well as the processing time suite the project's requirements very well, if the image acquisition is prepared properly. © 2009 SPIE.

Rich Norman who works for Redmayne-bentley stockbrokers next to the recruitment agency said:
"I turned up for work at 7:30am as usual this morning and there was already a lady standing outside the office saying she could smell smoke and had called the fire brigade. I could smell smoke in the offices when i went inside and within several minutes fire engines turned up."
The fire has also left a local charity without an office and in financial problems.<
At 0749hrs crews on scene requested a further two appliances which was mobilised from Danes Castle and Topsham, together with support appliances from Exmouth.

Green Wave Outworks Tigers in 72-62 Decision
Jan. 20, 2013
NEW ORLEANS - - The University of Memphis (11-7, 2-2 C-USA) shot just 30.3 percent from the field and outside of the Nicole Dickson, who was 12-for-24 from the field, the rest of the squad was 11-for-52 in a 72-62 loss at Tulane (14-3, 3-1 C-USA), Sunday.
"I wasn't happy with our effort level today," Head Coach Melissa McFerrin said. "I told them before the game, this isn't a game where you can take a breath, you can't forget to box out, you can't forget to rebound, you cannot rest on this team and we just wanted it to be easy at times."
Both teams had new lineups to start the game. Tulane was without leading scorer Whitney Bibbins, while Nicole Dickson missed her first start of the season, but checked in after the under 16 media timeout. The two teams were a combined 1-for-12 from the field to start the game and it did not get much prettier from there, as Tulane shot 27.3 percent from the floor, while the Tigers were 24.3 percent from the field. Dickson came off the bench to knock down 11 points, but the Bilqis Abdul-Qaadir was 1-for-6 from the floor and second-leading scorer Ariel Hearn played just eight minutes after picking up two first half fouls.
Memphis briefly took the lead off a Dickson three, but Tulane stormed right back and went to the locker room holding on to a 25-24 lead.
After the break, Memphis came out and took a quick lead on a pair of free-throws from Asianna Fuqua-Bey, but Tulane got in transition and into the paint to retake the lead, blowing it all the way up to 11 at 46-35 with 11:55 to play. Lauren McGraw sparked her teammates into finally going after some 50-50 balls and Memphis used a 9-0 run to pull to one down at 46-45 with 7:55 left in the game.
From there, it was all Green Wave hustling all over the floor. The Tulane guards kept getting into the paint, and either hit easy buckets or drew fouls on the Tigers. The Tigers resorted to fouling late, but the Green Wave converted their attempts from the line late to close out the 72-62 victory.
Dickson finished with 31 points, her fifth 30 point game of the season. She was the only Tiger in double-digits. Jaymie Jackson led the team with 10 rebounds, a career-high for the freshman.
Tulane had four players in double-digits, led by 14 points from Jamie Kaplan.
Memphis will remain on the road and play at UAB, Thursday, at 7 p.m. in Bartow Arena in Birmingham.

HOLIDAY Travel Q&A
By Jackie Burrell
Saturday, December 13th, 2008 at 7:30 am in Family Travel.
Traveling for the holidays? We've got great advice for you from Donna Airoldi at TravelMuse, in answer to questions you guys sent in.
Q: When are the best dates to fly around the holidays, especially with younger children? And what are some tricks for maintaining sanity if you are delayed? Does SFO or Oakland airport offer something to keep the little ones occupied?
— Walnut Creek mom of triplets
A: The holidays are always busy times, with the day before any holiday usually being the busiest—although this year the Wednesday before Thanksgiving was surprisingly easygoing for most travelers. If you can fly a couple days before the majority of holiday fliers take off, that would be ideal. Next best is the day of the holiday, such as the morning of Dec. 25, if being somewhere for Christmas Eve isn't that important.
Try to book your return a few days after the holiday ends, again to avoid the rush the day after the holiday. Another option is if you arrive several days prior to the holiday, depart the night of the big day, such as Dec. 25. Again, there won't be as many travelers on the day of the main holiday. An exception to this is New Year's Day, when many people who travel for the event return home, hangovers and all.
Tricks for delays: Make sure you have with you a few toys, books and activity options for the kids, but don't bring them out all at once as you'll want to pace their introduction. Remember, you'll need to kept the kids occupied on the plane too once you eventually take off. Also be sure to bring a stash of their favorite snacks.
There are plenty of diversions for families at SFO, including an aquarium, located in Terminal 1 before you go through security, and SFO Kids' Spot, featuring weather-related exhibitions from the Exploratorium of San Francisco. It's located in Terminal 3, post-security near Gate 87A. Parents also can rent portable DVD players and movies at InMotion shops, located in Terminal 3 and in the main hall of the International Terminal. For parents with infants, nurseries are located in Terminals 1 and 3. Click here for more information on family services at SFO.
Unfortunately, there aren't as many options at Oakland International Airport. There are a few spots in Terminal 2 for viewing public art and a couple shops for children's items. Otherwise, you can try to stretch the time by taking them to a family-friendly restaurant.
Come back on Wednesday, when our travel guru answers questions about 2009 travel, including how to get to Hawaii without going broke.

Hrm. According to the online manual, GIMP *still* doesn't support CMYK.
But hey, if you enjoy having your color horribly mangled once you print,
go ahead. ;) Do Scribus and Inkscape allow for CMYK? It would be
completely bizarre for them not to.

A few years ago, a kind Buddha statue sat near the the eastern end of Shoreline, on the corner where the sidewalk on Shoreline ends and the dirt path along the San Leandro Channel begins.
It was decorated daily with wreaths and other ornaments. Visitors also would leave fruit and other treats as community "offerings" to the Buddha. But one day, it disappeared.
Now, a friendly sign with lots of different greetings can be seen on the corner. Slogans like "relax" and "enjoy" are posted prominently, as our smiley faces and other decorations.
Nearby, between Shoreline and the Bay Farm Island Bridge, there's a less friendly "display."
On Sunday afternoon, June 17, there were at least six dead small baby or tiger sharks along the waterfront (near Bayview) on the western side of the channel.
With the fine weather we've been having, there have been plenty of fishermen and others out around the Bay and in the San Leandro Channel.
It's hard to say if the dead sharks were caught and then let go, or what may have led to their demise. Share news on this development with the Alameda Journal Blog, if you can.
