Actually you can explain it with graphs. Take a look at [H]OCP's review where they show the huge fluctuations in the framerate of the 9800 GX2 card (and SLI and Crossfire systems in general). The amazing thing is how consistent and stable are the framerates on the GTX 280 and GTX 260 throughout the game.
Most reviews which claimed the 9800 GX2 is faster than the new GTX 280/260 cards only looked at average framerates, not at minimum framerates and not at lack of fluctuation in framerate during gameplay. Also, very few reviews looked at 8xAA or 16xAA CSAA.
Even the guys at Anandtech got it wrong. But [H]OCP, NV News, Rage3d (Chris Ray's review), PC Perspective, and some other places got it right. The GTX 280 and GTX 260 are definitely a nice improvement over the 9800 GX2 and the rest of the bunch in terms of real world performance/power consumption.
NVIDIA marketing did not do a good job this time.
1) They should have instructed reviewers to focus on smooth gameplay, consistency of framerates, and image quality (through 8xAA or 16xAA CSAA) compared to the current cards on the market. If NVIDIA lets reviewers go unchecked and test for pure framerate with no regards to smooth gameplay and high levels of AA, they are going to get hammered in many benchmarks against other dual-GPU solutions (from both NV and AMD).
2) They should never have priced GTX 280 at $649 with GTX 260 at $399 to create such a huge gap in price/performance ratio between the two cards. 60% more money for 10-20% more performance doesn't make a whole lot of sense. This made the GTX 280 look like a really poor value in reviews. The more sensible thing would be $429 for GTX 260, and $569 for the GTX 280. This way the GTX 260 is close enough to HD 4870 to be a competitor in price/performance ratio, and the GTX 280 is close enough in price to the GTX 260 to be a viable higher performance alternative without breaking the bank and without being a very poor value in comparison. And to generate the highest profit margins, it is always beneficial to push the most expensive and highest margin products. So discouraging people to buy the GTX 280 by creating such a big pricing differential between the 260 and 280 only hurts profit margins.

Umatilla County Health Department officials announced today that a case of H1N1 influenza, or swine, flu virus has been confirmed in the eastern part of Umatilla County.
The ill adolescent is in critical condition in a Washington state hospital (not Walla Walla), said Genni Lehnert, administrator.
The youth tested positive for the H1N1 and is also being treated for other medical conditions. While the child is enrolled in the public school system, he or she was too ill to begin classes at the start of the school year, said Sherena Clements, emergency preparedness coordinator for Umatilla County.
"I am very concerned about this adolescent and want to encourage others to take the necessary precautions to protect themselves for both seasonal and H1N1 influenza," Lehnert said. "We just want folks to be aware that both are circulating."
No other members of the child's family has been diagnosed with flu at this time, she said, adding that her department will be facilitating H1N1 shot clinics as soon as a vaccine is available.
"The public will be well informed when the dates and locations have been determined. In addition to the H1N1 vaccine, the public is urged to get a seasonal flu shot now."
The swine flu is targeting young people and those that get particularly ill have underlying health conditions, Lehnert pointed out. "That can include diabetes, asthma and heart conditions. That will complicate things for kids with H1N1."
To help avoid flu:
The Umatilla County Health Department will present a vaccination clinic at the Milton-Freewater Community Building on Sept. 25, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., for seasonal influenza, $30, and childhood vaccinations. People should bring insurance cards for billing purposes.

One of the two police officers shot overnight in Ferguson, Missouri, has a bullet lodged in his head, and both are lucky to have survived, a police official said on Thursday.
Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon has declared a state of emergency and activated the National Guard in advance of a grand jury decision about whether a white police officer will be charged in the fatal shooting of a black 18-year-old in the St. Louis suburb of Ferguson.
Two St. Louis city police officers shot and killed a black man who came within several feet of them brandishing a knife on Tuesday in a confrontation a few miles from the turbulent suburb of Ferguson, authorities said.
The famous Gateway Arch in St. Louis is one of many national parks feeling the impact of government furloughs.

Second Bioethanol Unit Planned for Vietnam
1:55 PM MDT | April 1, 2008 | Chemical Week Editorial Staff
Petrosetco (Ho Chi Minh City) has signed a preliminary agreement with Bronzeoak Ltd. (Caterham, U.K.) to form a 51-49 joint venture that would build a bioethanol plant in Vietnam's Dung Quat Economic Zone. The plant would cost an estimated $138 million. It would have capacity for 150 million liters/year of ethanol and use tapioca as its main raw material. The unit would be Vietnam's and Petrosetco's second bioethanol plant.

Painter has big praise for Davis after loss to ND
Updated: December 15, 2012, 8:59 PM ETAssociated Press
INDIANAPOLIS -- Purdue coach Matt Painter couldn't find a bad thing to say about Rapheal Davis' performance Saturday.
Davis exploded for 21 points in the second half against No. 22 Notre Dame after a scoreless first half, leaving a coach who is notoriously tough on freshmen with nothing but praise.
But it wasn't enough.
Jack Cooley had 18 points and nine rebounds to lead the Fighting Irish to their seventh straight victory, 81-68 over the Boilermakers in the Crossroads Classic.
Still, ...

Obama delays oil pipeline, Neb. claims victory
Heineman, a Republican, called the State Department decision "an exceptional moment for Nebraskans" and a sign their voices have been heard.
The decision to reroute the project comes as the State Department's inspector general has begun a review of the administration's handling of the pipeline request. That examination follows complaints from Democratic lawmakers about possible conflicts of interest in the review process.
The inspector generator will look at whether the State Department and others involved in the project followed federal regulations.
"I strongly believe that the more the American people learn about this project, the more they will understand that it would be disastrous for our environment and for our economy," said Sen. Bernard Sanders, I-Vt., who requested the review.
Matthew Daly reported from Washington. Associated Press writers Dina Cappiello in Washington; Rob Gillies in Toronto; Ramit Masti in Houston; and Sean Murphy in Oklahoma City also contributed to this report.

Andrew Gross at the Bergen Record reports that Dylan McIlrath's knee has progressed this summer and he will learn a lot more after his next exam, including when he might be cleared for skating, in a couple of weeks... "It's a slow process, I wanted to do it right," McIlrath said. "I've had no setbacks all summer. I know it's looking as good as it can be right now. I can do upper-body and I'm trying to maintain my fitness that way. About a month ago, I was able to start hitting the bike. Obviously, I'm trying to build strength in that leg so I can be ready." Rangers Assistant GM Jim Schoenfeld added... "He's got another exam coming up and we'll know more. There's no sense guessing or speculating. He's been rehabbing this summer and doing everything he needs to do." ...great news. Even if he wasn't injured, I didn't expect him to crack the Rangers roster at any point this season, but the sooner he can get back the better chance he has next season. Remember to f

They haven't failed me yet! Great product for the value. Recommended! Simple to use By sushiROX on 4/5/2012 sushiROX would recommend this product to a friend Directions were very easy to follow and the test itself took no more than 5 minutes. I'm sure in the future it will be faster. Test itself was easier than other cheaper brands. Cheap and easy to use!!! By DUC on 3/21/2012 DUC wouldn't recommend this product to a friend can do alk testing under 2 min. the color on change on this kit is like day and night. New update is better By David on 2/21/2012 David would recommend this product to a friend The dyes have been made bolder making the kit far easier to read. Only thing I don't like is the cardboard box it comes in gets ruined pretty easy by nature of working around water and dye dropper is a little on messy side as it dispenses easy. Overall highly recommend. works and it's cheap By ard on 2/6/2012 ard would recommend this product to a friend I have been using this brand test to alk, Ca, and nitrates. they seem to be consistent and you can get lots of test from each. great kit By Keith on 10/16/2011 Keith would recommend this product to a friend imo the best alk test kit out there Simple and Trustworthy By Greg on 9/23/2011 Greg would recommend this product to a friend This is a great kit like many of the other salifert test kits. Its a titration based kit so when the color changes your done. Price per test along with great accuracy and reliability cant be beat. Need to test before doing By AIrvin on 9/3/2011 AIrvin would recommend this product to a friend My dkh was 6.2 very low for a reef system. I am sold on testing. Only Salifert for me By Richard on 7/30/2011 Richard wouldn't recommend this product to a friend Have tried other brands and keep coming back to Salifert. Reliable kits, easy to use. My only gripe is that the kit states it has a low resolution mode that uses less reagent for more tests per kit. I have tried this mode numerous times and found it to be unaccurate and unusable. Not sure why. But in normal resolution mode it is highly accurate, reliable and economical. Recommend. Excellent value Easy to use By Frank NY on 4/14/2011 Frank NY would recommend this product to a friend I purchased this kit from my lfs after the Elos kit was impossible to use. This kit is straight forward and easy to use. The test worked the first time with no guessing. BRS price point is great. Five dollars cheaper than my lfs. Good test Kit By EddieJ on 4/13/2011 EddieJ would recommend this product to a friend A very solid kH/ALK test kit. Easy to use and I find it to be very consistent and reliable. Just make sure you put the cap on tightly IMMEDIATELY after you draw up the reagent. Evaporation will cause future test to read off. best kits on the market By derek on 3/19/2011 derek would recommend this product to a friend This was one of the easiest tests to use on the market and accurate too. I have several other alk test kits and they are totally confusing and not accurate. Wish I had bought this one first, I could have saved alot of money on the othe kits which I could have used to buy more equipment.

If he writes a proper intro properly approved by arm, I'm sure he'll go far.
Nah I was just hitting the ball with the guy that runs the sessions because it was too icy to play.
It was fun though - good work out. I thought you are MTF's resident party animal.

It's probably really brilliant, but I'm not interested. You must have a better alternative than that.
Like what? No, my essays were really shit.
On an unrelated note, why has MTF suddenly changed into 'agony aunt' mode? Off-season? Everyone seems to post an article asking for psychological help, or asking whether something is normal or not.
Don't change the subject.
Tell meeeeee.
Probably off-season. It's better than having a dead NT during the off-season. PopCon's pretty lacklustre though.
Some things are just best kept in the dark. If you know everything there is to know about him, you'd stop stalking.
But it's basic info. It's not like I want to know his favourite movie or whatever; I just want to know where he did his undergrad. It's not even on the school website.
Ugh this is so creepy. I'm going to stop talking about it now.
Oh my god I did nothing the whole day.
I'm going to bed soon; have to go to Oxford Street to return some clothes tomorrow. You?

TCS2015 is a ten-month comp series that visits every Touchstone Climbing gym. Over 2,500 climbers from across the state have participated in the event, making it the largest climbing competition in the world!
Each comp has featured climbing for beginner, intermediate, and advanced climbers, along with all the beer, soda, and pizza you can stand. We throw these comps, which are FREE to members and only $10 for guests, so that we can thank them for being a part of our community.
TCS 2015 Schedule
The Touchstone Climbing Series has been an institution for our members and guests for over ten years. What began as simple climbing competitions thrown at a few local gyms has grown into a ten-month comp series with two finals and over 2,000 individual competitors.
In 2015, we're changing up the format to reflect both the USA climbing and the outdoor climbing season. The 2015 series will last ten months with five roped and five bouldering comps with finals for each discipline.
February 20th – MetalMark – Ropes
March 20th – Diablo Rock Gym- Ropes
April 17th – The Studio – Ropes
May 15th – GWPC – Ropes
June 27th – Mission Cliffs – Ropes (Finals)
July 17th- Berkeley Ironworks – Bouldering
August 21st – MetalMark – Bouldering
September 18th- LA Boulders- Bouldering
October 16th- Pipeworks – Bouldering
November 21st- Dogpatch Boulders – Bouldering (Finals)
To expedite your registration the day of the comp, please have your Competition Code and a paper waiver in hand when you arrive.
- Print a paper waiver here.
- Get your comp code here.
If you arrive with these two things, you'll be greeted with the highest of fives!
- All climbers and belayers must have a valid belay card to participate in the rope climbing comps.
- Competitors may attempt any route.
- Competitors have a maximum of three attempts per route.
- When starting a route, your hands must remain in the start box until both feet leave the ground.
- Competitors may watch other climbers but may not give advice while that climber is climbing.
- Points will be given when a competitor controls the boxed hold.
- Please have your belayer initial your score per attempt.
- You may not work a route. Once you have weighted the rope you must lower to the ground.
- Your final placing in the competition is determined by your three highest scores.
- It is the competitor's responsibility to turn in their scorecard.
- Lead climbing is only permitted for advanced competitors. Any lead climbing will automatically bump you into the advanced category.
- Climb your hardest! If your final score puts you into the higher category, you may be bumped. Congrats!
- Only one score from each grade will count towards your final score. Example: You can climb every 5.11a in the gym, but you'll only be able to count one. Why not go for that 5.11b?
At the end of the day of finals at Mission Cliffs and Dogpatch Boulders, we will take the top three advanced climbers of that day and the top three climbers of the series to compete in on-sight finals. The top three men and women from on-sight finals will receive a cash prize of $1,000, $600, and $350.

frotog, that doesn't sound encouraging for me now... The ceiling in our living room has a height of 2.70 m (8.86'/106.3''), so from your post I learn that this is not enough. The manual says that it needs about 2.45 m (8'/96.5'') with CLS 1000. It would be a shame if I couldn't use it and had to sell it again
ic-racer, I just saw the pictures of your L1840 enlarger at the LF forum. Impressive! I will read the thread later.

Listening to ESPN 1000 in Chicago, Bruce Levine said the White Sox may look to deal Nick Swisher in an attempt to get more speed.
He struggled mightily last year, posting a .219/.332/.410 line on the South Side. However, his last two years in Oakland he posted .262/.381/.455 and .254/.372/.493 lines respectively.
Swisher's 2008 line drive rate of .204 was the highest of his career, but his BABIP—which, if a player is neither lucky nor unlucky, should be .120 higher than his LD rate—was .251, just 0.47 points higher than his LD rate. That's not just unlucky—that's ridiculously unlucky.
He probably wouldn't be anybody's first option, but considering the year he is coming off of he probably wouldn't cost that much to acquire.
Just another option for LF...

Looking for a partner in crime
I like to think of myself as an average girl who has worked hard to establish my career and is finally ready to find someone to be my best friend. I have been waiting to be set up by friends but since that hasn't happened, I decided to give this a try! I think the key to a successful relationship is someone who I love hanging out with, understands me, challenges me, and helps me grow. I'm usually attracted to guys who are passionate about something, athletic, intelligent, and just a man's man. I don't think that's too much to ask! I grew up in Boston and moved to NYC a few years ago (and sorry all your NY boys, I'm a huge Boston sports fan). I absolutely love everything Manhattan has to offer (probably like most of us here...). I enjoy trying new bars and restaurants, yet also enjoy cooking. I also am really into working out. I just ran the NYC marathon and already training for the next. Fitness and health are important to me and hope to find someone who also values the importance of this in his life. I also enjoy traveling and try to do one big trip a year (if it involves the beach, even better). I'm close to my family, but unfortunately no one lives near by. My friends here are like my family and they mean everything to me. Messages are better than winks or likes :)

Sensory Processing Disorder Dysfunction
Also known as sensory integration dysfunction, sensory Processing disorder is a complex neurological condition in which responds poorly to the information that comes in or has trouble receiving information.
There are three important categories of sensory processing disorders: sensory based motor disorders (SBMD), sensory modulation disorder (SMD) and sensory discrimination disorder (SDD).
The SMD consists of under-responding and over-responding to sensory stimuli. In SBMD, as a result of incorrect processing of sensory information the motor output is disorganized resulting in developmental coordination disorder and/or postural disorder.
The symptoms vary depending on the disorder's type and subtype. Therefore, people suffering from sensory over-responsivity might: avoid crowds and noisy places, get extreme car sick, feel discomforted by normal lights, sounds, smells, tastes or even sensations like their own heartbeat. Also they can be very picky eaters, have sleep disorders, feel constant under stress and dislike textures in foods, fabrics or grooming products. They can go as far as refusing to hug or kiss because they have a very negative reaction to the contact with the skin.
People suffering from under-responsivity might have difficulties waking up, be unaware of pain or the presence of other people, might be unreactive and slow and sometimes might appear deaf. People suffering from sensory craving might seek or make disturbing, loud noises, seek extreme sensation, crash, jump and climb constantly or fidget excessively.
People suffering from SMBD might have poor posture, appear slow and uncoordinated and feel clumsy and slow. People suffering from sensory discrimination problems might have poor handwriting, use inappropriate force to handle objects, drop things constantly and have difficulty eating and dressing.
Damage in any part of the brain can be the cause of the disorder. The current research focuses on finding the neurological and genetic causes of the SPD. People diagnosed with SPD should seek the specialist help of a neurologist for a better understanding of their situation and the things they have to do to improve the quality of their life.
Some of the possible causes under research are increased D2 receptor in the striatum, genetic influences in people with auditory and tactile over responsivity, the sensory gating and the abnormal microstructure of white matter in children suffering from the disorder.
Sensory processing disorder is not recognized yet in the DSM – 5 and the ICD – 10. Diagnosis is based on expert observational scales, standardized questionnaires, standardized tests and free play observation at an occupational therapy gym. Diagnosis is made by different professional depending on the country. The professional that might be responsible for a diagnosis might include psychologists, speech and language therapists, occupational therapists and physiotherapists.
Standardized tests include TSI (DeGangi-Berk Test of Sensory Integration), SIPT (Sensory Integration and Praxis Test), TSFI (Test of Sensory Functions in Infants). The questionaries used most often include SPM (Sensory Processing Measure), SPSC (Sensory Profile School Companion), SP (Sensory Profile), Infant/Toddler Sensory Profile, APM-P (Sensory Processing Measure Preeschool). There are also o few tests that might be used as well such as COMPS (Clinical Observations of Motor and Postural Skills), BOT-2 (Bruininks–Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency, Second Edition), DTVP-2 (Developmental Test of Visual Perception: Second Edition), Miller Function & Participation Scales, BRIEF (Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function).
The treatment developed to treat the SPD might include sensory integration therapy, sensory processing therapy, physical exercise, prism lenses and auditory integration training.

Big East Tournament: Louisville vs. Notre Dame Free Pick
- Updated: March 9, 2012
Louisville Cardinals vs. Notre Dame Fighting Irish College Basketball Preview
9:00 PM Eastern on ESPN
NCAA Basketball Spread: Off
Over/Under: Off
Louisville and Notre Dame both had difficult matchups last night, but both of them made their way into the Big East Conference semifinals. Notre Dame needed overtime to top South Florida in a defensive battle, while Louisville's smothering defense catapulted the Cardinals to a huge 84-71 win over Marquette. This one will be the nightcap at Madison Square Garden in New York City. The winner will play in the Big East Conference Tournament final on Saturday evening.
Notre Dame outlasted South Florida in a game that looked like it may go the other way. The Fighting Irish benefited from some silly mistakes, but they also came through with some clutch shots. Jerian Grant's three-point jumper late in overtime sealed the deal for Notre Dame. Mike Brey's team is highly motivated for this tournament. Early in the year Brey made it a goal for this team to reach the Big East Tournament final, something they have never done before. In order to get there, they will need to control the tempo and make Lousville guard them for the full shot clock every time down the floor.
Jack Cooley is the most improved player on this team. Cooley averages 12.5 points and 9.2 boards per contest. He has great touch in the low post to go along with his big frame. The Fighting Irish have a very young backcourt, but they are extremely talented. Jerian Grant and Eric Atkins have blossomed into great play makers who take care of the ball quite well. Scott Martin is an unsung hero who does a little bit of everything for this team.
Louisville is the seventh seed in this tournament, but Rick Pitino's squad pulled off a big upset last night over Marquette. The Cardinals defense forced Marquette into 25 turnovers. Jae Crowder was named Big East Player of the Year earlier this week, but Louisville held him to just ten points last night. Gorgui Dieng isn't a great offensive player, but he is a great shot blocker and defensive presence in the middle of the paint. The biggest surprise of the win over Marquette was Louisville's domination of the boards. The Cardinals grabbed 23 offensive rebounds and outrebounded Marquette 47-38.
Peyton Siva is generally not a scorer, but he put up 18 points last night. When Siva is scoring and distributing, the Cardinals are very tough to beat. Kyle Kuric is the team's leading scorer, and he racked up 20 points last night. Freshman Chane Behanan has been vital to the team's success of late as well. Behanan averages 9.2 points and 7.5 rebounds per game. Chris Smith is the team's best three-point shooter at 40%, while Russ Smith is a guy who can drive the lane and get to the rim. Louisville allows opponents to shoot just 38% from the floor.
Both defenses are tremendous, and it will likely be very tough to find open shots in this one. Look for this game to come down to the final shot.
College Basketball Prediction: Louisville 61 Notre Dame 60

Report: Knicks like Kenyon Martin, but he wants to be paid
Aug 2, 2012, 5:22 PM EDT
The Knicks would like to add a backup power forward to the roster, someone who can come in off the bench and give them some energy, defense and a few points.
There are a few guys out there, but the Kenyon Martin seems to fit pretty well with the Knicks style and what they want to do. But… there's a complication, tweets Jared Zwerling of ESPN:
Regarding Kenyon Martin, out of available PFs, he'd make most sense for NYK. Versatile, knows Melo/JR. But source says won't sign for min.
The Knicks are only really handing out minimum deals the rest of the way, as are most teams at this point in the summer. Rosters are pretty much set and there are only a few spots on a few teams for more than the minimum.
Martin's options are drying up — the Warriors were interested but they signed Carl Landry, and the Clippers have moved on. Martin can wait this out until training camp starts, looking for some team to give him a piece of their mid-level exception. But he may have some less than ideal options to choose from when it comes time.

well i was wrong there is a spot open, i am content with the team so i didn't do a head count until now. K-mart could do a lot worse than signing with us on the cheap, at this stage in his career you'd think that it would not be about a buck. reunite with J Kidd an finish strong should be important. but like i said i am pretty content

Anyone else surprised to see a story about a current clipper player that doesn't want to leave unless he gets "paid"?
- 00maltliquor - Aug 2, 2012 at 11:32 PM
That would be such a niiice piece for NY. Funny, if they woulda kept Chauncy they would have the entire Nuggets starting 5 (insert JR for AI though) 4-5 years ago.
I hope he goes there. That would make things MUCH more interesting out East. It would be the best Knicks defense we've seen since the days of Ewing, Oakley, Mason and 'em.
- btizzy1978 - Aug 3, 2012 at 2:46 AM
he got to get paid cuz he got 25 kids and child support expensive out if his checkns account…bum

Right, because anyone doing ruby must be doing web development ?
If you're not, Ruby and Python are very similar languages (I find Ruby harder to read so I prefer Python)
Thank you for demonstrating my point

Setting Up For Yahoo Shopping Spree
- By ChicagoSean+ (@ChicagoSean) Head of Community Development @ StockTwits |
- January 28th, 2014
Millennial Media, an eight-year-old mobile advertising company, is getting a strong bid today thanks to Yahoo bulls. The stock has climbed nearly 10% since the start of trading.
Jan. 28 at 12:24 PM
$MM pulled in about $72 million in gross profits in 2012, according to its latest public 10K. It is expected to post small losses per share for the fourth quarter of 2013 on $90.51 million in revenues, according to Wall Street consensus estimates. The company is scheduled to host its Q4 earnings call on February 19th, after the bell.
But earnings potential may not be the main driver of activity in this stock, according to Stocktwits users. They see acquisition potential by Yahoo now that Michael Barrett, former Chief Revenue Officer at Yahoo!, is taking the helm. The company announced Barrett would replace CEO and founder Paul Palmieri yesterday.
"With Michael's diverse expertise in scaling advertising businesses in both the brand and programmatic spaces, he will be instrumental in taking the company to the next level," said Wenda Millard, President of Medialink and a member of $MM's Board, in a statement.
Investors hope that next level is at Yahoo. The thinking is that Yahoo will be flush with cash when Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba IPOs. Yahoo's 24% stake in the company could be worth as much as $36 Billion, if RBC Capital Markets's analyst Mark Mahaney is right. That's a lot of money Yahoo can use to acquire new innovative companies. And Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer was touting the importance of Yahoo's mobile initiatives at the Consumer Electronics Show earlier this month.

Or, in Professor Gates' case, I can't decide whether to politely ask you to leave my house, or threaten to blitzkrieg your career.
Obama and Hitler use the 'blitzkrieg' method to overwhelm their enemies.
"rapid attack," 1939, from German Blitzkrieg, from Blitz "lightning" (from Middle High German blicze, back-formation from bliczen "to flash," from Old High German blecchazzen "to flash, lighten" (8c.), from Proto-Germanic *blikkatjan, from PIE root *bhel- (1) "to shine, flash, burn;" see bleach (v.)) + Krieg "war" (see kriegspiel).
A form of warfare used by German forces in World War II. In a blitzkrieg, troops in vehicles, such as tanks, made quick surprise strikes with support from airplanes. These tactics resulted in the swift German conquest of France in 1940 (see fall of France). Blitzkrieg is German for "lightning war."

Product description
This work is suitable for readers of "Sebastian Faulks", Helen Dunmore's "Zennor in Darkness" and "The Siege", Rose Tremain's "The Way I Found Her", and Pat Barker's "Regeneration" trilogy. It is October 1918 and London is gathering in its dead. For Henry Speake, of Speake & Son Undertakers, laying to rest the shattered young bodies of those sent home from the Front to die has become a grimly familiar duty. But what he is seeing now, as influenza claims its victims with increasing speed and force, is something different; for the first time in his life, Henry feels afraid of death. Unable to share his fears with his waspish, disapproving sisters, Henry turns instead to Mrs Allen Thompson, a recently widowed school teacher, so beginning a friendship which gradually, stumblingly, pulls them in a direction neither has been prepared for.

Author information
REINA JAMES lost two grandparents to the 1918 Spanish flu. This is her first novel.
Review quote
"'Rich and absorbing... a five-star weepie' The Times"
Editorial reviews
Love in the time of the Spanish flu epidemic.British author James devotes her debut to an early-20th-century pandemic that is estimated to have killed 230,000 in the U.K.; 675,000 in the U.S.; and possibly between 50 and 100 million worldwide. However, her carefully researched canvas is deliberately small, charting the fortunes of a narrow group in London linked by family ties and social connections. Undertaker Henry Speake begins to fear the scale of the "plague" unfolding after reading a letter written by one of its victims, Dr. Thomas Wey, who tried to alert the authorities to the need to close the ports and rein in troop movements - World War I is drawing to its close - as a means of limiting the contagion. Wey also noted that the illness was felling a disproportionately large number of young people. Speake's job inevitably exposes the rising tide of the crisis, as does the work of widowed teacher Allen Thompson. With the children rapidly falling sick, the school is closed and Allen, now befriended by Speake, shares his anxieties while trying to tend to her deluded sister and other suffering folk. But for Allen, associating with Speake is "consorting with a tradesman," which earns disapproval on all sides. Not much happens other than the spread of disease, death and disorder. There are many scenes of grief, tragedy, poverty and helplessness, as society trembles on the brink of breakdown and doctors, vicars and other ordinary souls grapple with the practicalities of the day, while the government contributes very little.A curiosity - sharp glimpses of human nature scattered over a detailed period panorama. (Kirkus Reviews)

One of the most interesting things about Micralyne is the way the company combines health and wellness with fun to help employees find balance. Each winter, employees build an outdoor hockey rink. In summer, a large field in the back is used to play soccer. Many employees bike to work and shower and lockup facilities are available.
"I am particularly proud that through the past year we have seen very few people voluntarily leave Micralyne, and I'm constantly hearing people chat about how they can help the company succeed," said Scott Rice, Micralyne's human resources manager.
"I think the award should really be for Alberta's Top Employees," said Derek Hudson, CEO. "Our people make Micralyne a great place to work. In a challenging economic time our staff members have shown an incredible level of creativity, commitment, and professionalism. We try, but I don't think we can ever do enough to recognize all the amazing contributions they make."
Combining work and play is just one way Micralyne supports employees. The company has a number of plans designed to foster employee development, including:
» Opportunities for advancement
» Paid training, from one-day courses to comprehensive certificate programs
» An open-door policy giving all employees access to management and executive team members
» A multicultural, inclusive team environment
» An idea-sharing forum that empowers employees to improve the way Micralyne works

Give the students voice , choice and leeway to differentiate the way the learn and reviews.
Beth Dichter's curator insight, March 22, 11:25 AM
Do our learners know how to study? Perhaps a better question is do we understand the research that shows successful ways to study have been known for decades, but our current learning environment is not necessarily conducive to these learning habits. T
This post shares ten strategies for studying, as well as providing links to additional resources. It ends with a short discussion on why we may not be seeing these strategies used.
* Study to learn, not to "know." Knowing means we may know an answer, but not truly understand what is being discussed.
* Imagine you'll be teaching someone else. Research is showing that the expectation that you will need to teach material to others tends to use more effective learning strategies.
* Separate process from progress. Does learning end? Do we make progress but continue in the process?
* Space out your study sessions over time. Brain research shows that cramming is not effective.
There are many insights in this post that you may want to share with your students and colleagues.
Nancy Jones's curator insight, March 23, 1:37 PM
Who is teaching this to our students? I think that is the question. some great tips and throughtful explanations as well.
Ivon Prefontaine's curator insight, November 8, 2014 7:29 PM
This makes sense on an intuitive level, as well. We experience the world and how we live in. That is not about someone else's experience and facts. It is about our encounters.
Ivon Prefontaine's curator insight, September 19, 2014 8:12 PM
Growth mindset should be a philosophy in teaching and learning. Does it replace pedagogy? I don't think so, but I think they work together. Max van Manen's work in the area of thoughtful pedagogy fits well with growth mindset.
Tony Meehan's curator insight, September 20, 2014 4:57 PM
Working with learners of low SES and whose environment more often than not ensures they have a fixed mindset, it is important that we help them to redefine what success is. Too often it is fixed around being rich, having a big car, house, jewellery etc. These learners then become preoccupied with looking for the short-cut to success, to the riches they believe will make them happy. It doesn't work out like that of course. How then to help the alter their thinking?
Dweck's work is essential in this. But as this article states it cannot be seen as "a task to complete". It requires a shift in thinking of all in an organisation, a movement for a whole-school way of thinking, involving also parents or carers. This article by Costa, Garmston and Zimmerman provides a solid basis for promoting growth mindsets in educators.
Anna-Liisa Hayward's curator insight, September 25, 2014 3:08 AM
This article is not specifically related to ICT but it makes some points that all teachers need to consider: how to deal with change, how to grow as a professional, how to collaborate.
Gust MEES's curator insight, August 14, 2014 1:08 AM
Read and download this self-assessment rubric and accompanying questions to help you assess your own or your students' social and emotional development this year.
Ivon Prefontaine's curator insight, August 9, 2014 10:16 AM
The first three points should have always been in place in teaching and learning. Learning is cooperative, active, differentiated and personal. If it were not those things, I am not sure it is learning.
Multitasking is not new either. We need to learn how to manage multitasking in ways that do not obstruct and constrain learning in ways that makes it impossible.
Nancy Jones's curator insight, June 28, 10:02 PM

Author Bio
Born in 1943 as Leland Exter, L. E. Modesitt studied poetry at Williams College in Massachusetts, graduating with a B.A. in 1965. He joined the navy as a pilot that same year, eventually attaining the rank of lieutenant before leaving in 1969. He began graduate studies at the University of Denver in 1970, but left for the world of politics, working on the campaign trail. His first story was published in 1973, the same year that he became a legislative assistant first for U.S. Congressman Bill Armstrong and then for Ken Kramer. Modesitt married Christina Gribben in 1977, and the couple eventually had eight children. Briefly, he held a position at Georgetown University as a lecturer, but in 1981, he went to work for the Environmental Protection Agency. Modesitt's first novel, THE FIRES OF PARATIME, was published in 1982. He has since published a number of series and stand-alone novels, including the highly regarded Recluse series. In 1989, Modesitt left Washington, D.C., where he had lived since starting at the E.P.A., and met a lyric soprano whom he married (he and his first wife were divorced several years earlier). Modesitt's 1994 novel OF TANGIBLE GHOSTS, alludes to something of a fictionalized version of the couple's romance in the context of its larger concerns. That novel's sequel, THE GHOST OF THE REVELATOR, follows the heroes--a professor and his singer wife--as they visit Utah, a permanent move that the Modesitts made themselves in 1993.

TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) -- Topeka police are treating reports of an afternoon stabbing in central Topeka as self-defense.
They were called to a home in the 1700 block of SW Fillmore around 3:45 p.m. where two men were arguing.
Police say one man started beating the other with a toy and the man being hit pulled out a knife and threw it. Police say he suffered a potentially life-threatening cut to arm.
They interviewed the man with the knife and witnesses, but did not arrest anyone. They added that they planned on sending their reports to the district attorney who could decide to press charges.
They also said that tires were reportedly slashed in the area, but could not confirm the man with the knife was behind it.

Differences Between Teachers' and Students' Perceptions of Learning Expectations and Their Effects Upon Achievement in Algebra
Van Overmeer, Albert W.
MetadataShow full item record
SubjectMathematics--Study and teaching; Education--Aims and objectives; Algebra--Study and teaching
The problem. This study was conducted to examine whether differences existed between the perceptions of algebra teachers and algebra students. Procedures. Inventories comprised of forty questions related to classroom tasks were sent to teachers and students to obtain their perceptions. Means were calculated for each question and the Hotelling's T2 was conducted on three of the hypotheses. The fourth hypothesis was tested, utilizing the Pearson Product-Moment Correlation. Findings. Treated data indicated that there was significant difference between teachers and students in their perceptions of classroom activities. Students did not perceive what the teachers perceived. Significant differences exist in the perceptions of male and female students as to the teacher's expectations. Males had higher means than the females, concluding that male perceptions were closer to the teachers' perceptions. Findings indicated that there was not a significant difference in the achievement of males or females. Conclusions. Differences were found to exist in the perceptions of teachers and students. Conclusions drawn from this study include: (1) Students and teachers do have different perceptions of what takes place in the classroom. Students do not perceive activities and other functions to be as important as the teacher. (2) Male and female students have different perceptions of the teacher's expectations. (3) Achievement was effected as it related to students' perceptions of teacher expectations; however, it was a negative correlation in that students who received high grades did not perceive the expectations. (4) The sex of the student did not have a bearing on achievement. Recommendations. The goal of schools and universities should be training and educating the staff in the art of teaching and communication, conducting teacher training or inservice programs, reviewing the curriculum, and placing emphasis on the skills necessary to work with students in the process of learning. Teachers must take into account when planning their classes that effective teachers know their students' abilities, skills, and perceptions. Teachers must plan appropriate learning activities for the student for maximum achievement.

died after 8months....had to rma6/17/2013
had to rma...crossing my fingers on replacement drive
Wow! My old computer boots in 20 seconds.1/11/2011
The cheapest way to upgrade your computer. This drive is blazing fast in read/write speeds. At first I was a little suspect as to all the hype surrounding SSD's but this old computer guy was amazed at the improvement of the overall performance of my computer now that this drive is installed. I did much research and found the OCZ Vertex 2 2.5" 60GB SATA II MLC Performance Series Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)to be one of the fastest SSD's you could buy. I am buying another one to speed up my laptop. You won't believe how fast programs load and run. Simply put buy one and you will be amazed.
My Late 08 Aluminum MacBook is blazing fast now! Startup takes less than half the time it took with the original hard drive. Programs launch crazy fast. iTunes cover flow actually "flows." iPhoto doesn't slow down. Time Machine animations actually work. Spotlight is fast like Google Instant Search, now. Instructions: (1) Remove original HD. (2) Remove mounting screws (4 total) on original HD (with T6 torx screwdriver). (3) Attach mounting screws to SSD and install. (4) Close up your MacBook. (5) Turn on your MacBook and insert Mac OS X Install DVD and hold "c" key. Apple logo will come up. (If you get a blinking folder with a "?," instead, leave DVD in SuperDrive and press the power button to turn off. Press the power button again and hold the "c" key.) (6) Select language. When you arrive at the install screen, go to "Disk Utility" in the "Utilities" menu on the menu bar. (7) Click on the SSD and select "Erase" tab. Select "Mac OS X Extended (Journaled)" and erase. (I named the SSD "Macintosh HD," the default name.) (8) Exit "Disk Utility" and install Mac OS X. You can do a clean install or restore from a Time Machine backup. If you want to speed up your old computer or even your new computer, I definitely recommend using this drive. This is one of the fastest drives you can buy. You won't regret it.

Dylan doing well
As a part of Rob's tour of Upton Park, Rob was lucky enough to meet both David Gold and Dylan Tombides. Now well on the road to recovery, the following article was posted on the www.whufc.com website:
Last July, Dylan Tombides was diagnosed with testicular cancer after a random drug test while representing Australia at the FIFA Under-17 World Cup.
