Note: This was written before Anton Stralman re-signed. Tim Erixon was never going to be a deal breaker in the Rick Nash negotiations and as it turned out the talented young Swede was indeed sent to Columbus. With Erixon gone, the Rangers now have an even more pressing need to fill the bottom pair ahead of the new season. Something that was already an issue. It was widely assumed Erixon would grab one of the last spots on the blue line in New York this coming season. What's more, Erixon was supposed to assist Michael Del Zotto in terms of generating offense from the blue line. Having flashed his talent in Connecticut, Erixon was going to provide something that was lacking somewhat in New York. Without Erixon, with Anton Stralman a free agent and unsigned and with Dylan McIlrath injured for several months there is a clear need for the Rangers to go out and find alternatives. Of course, there still remains a chance Stralman returns. It makes sense for the player and the team to find a...

CAI In dirty climate
I live in Southeast Idaho and I am hesitant on getting a CAI. I hunt and fish so I am always off road. I am just worried about sucking dirt and grain and bugs and everything else into it...Any one else have this problem??
I live right down the road from you...I haven't had any issues, just if you come upon a huge puddle go kinda slow, instead of blazing through it and maybe hydrolocking...other than that, shouldn't be any issues

Holiday music: McDonald shines among Christmas chestnuts
This year's batch of holiday music doesn't promise to leave much of an impression for memorable backgrounds at the annual Christmas party. Here are highlights of cool yuletide tunes to get your holiday festivities off to the right beat.
Bob Dylan: "Christmas In The Heart" (Columbia)
Even before Bob Dylan's voice evolved into its current sandpaper rasp, singing was not his strong suit. This makes the idea of a Dylan holiday album a bit of a dicey proposition. As it turns out, Dylan's performances are a mixed bag, in tune on some, creaky on others. Dylan pretty much sticks to traditional treatment of the holiday songs. One exception is his pumped up polka version of "Must Be Santa," which is rowdy fun.
Barry Manilow: "In The Swing Of Christmas" (Arista)
Barry Manilow is well suited for the Christmas album. His detractors will have a difficult time faulting Manilow on "In The Swing Of Christmas." The songs suit Manilow's vocals, and some inventive arrangements give the album added spice.
Straight No Chaser: "Christmas Cheer" (Atco/Atlantic)
The snappy 10-man a capella vocal group focuses mainly on Christmas standards here and brings plenty of nifty vocal arrangements. The CD is solid, but the highlight is "The Christmas Can-Can," which cheerfully skewers the commercialization of the holiday season.
Michael McDonald: "This Christmas" (Razor & Tie/Chonin)
The former Doobie Brothers singer goes soulful on this album, which suits his choice of material. McDonald also ups the ante by including three worthy songs he co-wrote — two ballads and the sprightly "Every Time Christmas Comes Around." This is one of the season's best musical offerings.
Neil Diamond: "A Cherry Cherry Christmas" (Columbia)
This release isn't as new as it might seem. "A Cherry Cherry Christmas" mostly brings together songs from two previous holiday releases from Diamond, supplemented by a pair of new originals (the title song and "Christmas Dream") and three covers. If you don't own "The Christmas Album" or "The Christmas Album Volume II," then this one is well worth owning.
REO Speedwagon: "Not So Silent Night" (Commercial Music Group)
It would be all too easy to envision REO shifting into power ballad mode and making a shmaltzy album of Christmas standards. Fortunately, the veteran Midwest band lets it rock often enough to make "Not So Silent Night" a refreshing take on the Christmas album.
David Archuleta: "Christmas From The Heart" (Jive)
Aside from including "Pat-a-Pan" and "Riu Ri Chiu," that reflect Archuleta's Latin heritage, the former "American Idol" finalist plays it safe by singing familiar holiday standards.
Andrea Bocelli: "My Christmas" (Sugar)
The famed vocalist brings his stately (and occasionally bi-lingual) voice to a collection of holiday standards including "White Christmas," "What Child Is This" and Elvis Presley's "Blue Christmas." One can't go wrong with Bocelli's rich voice inhabiting these songs.
Various Artists: "Merry Kidsmas: Created by the Song Trust" (Giantslayer)
The Nashville-based songwriting collective, the Song Trust, has assembled a dozen holiday songs by kids that bring us Christmas from a child's perspective. The songs are alternately funny, charming and just plain cute. A portion of the proceeds from the CD will go to the USO.

Two, Like, Star-Crossed Lovers
When a young woman in high school frets about the folks in Mogadishu--when, for that matter, she can spell "Mogadishu"--American moviegoers know she needs a fashion makeover, a boyfriend and an eventful night at the prom. She's All That fully meets these expectations for its heroine, and exceeds them in ways that make me fear for the picture's tender viewers.
These are likely to be in the 12-to-20 range. The 12-year-olds look ahead to the dangers and opportunities they will soon taste in high school. The 20-year-olds, if bored at the mall, will consent to glance back at embarrassments only recently escaped. Yes, our children are our future (I think Bill Clinton said that); but the future looks grim indeed if the makers of She's All That have guessed right about their audience. Not only does the girl who can spell "Mogadishu" go to the prom--now she even learns to care about being elected prom queen.
I call these matters to your attention because high school is America's great engine of normalization. Children in all their variety get dumped into its hopper, undergo processing and come out at the other end packaged as socioeconomic types. Acting as a safety valve for this machinery is the high school movie, which (among its other functions) vents the steam that can build up in the raw material. All that normalization can make kids feel odd. Pretty soon, they need to spend money at the multiplex, to watch other odd-feeling kids make peace with the social order. That's what worries me. How meager is the pressure that builds up nowadays, if it can be relieved by She's All That!
The symbolic oddball here is one Laney Boggs, played by a young actress whose parents certainly couldn't handle "Mogadishu," to judge from what they did to her name. (It's Rachael Leigh Cook.) But, to resume: Our Laney suffers from being the middle-class kid in a rich kids' school. Of course, she's not so deprived as to lack a swimming pool; but since her father cleans pools for a living, we understand that she dwells in relative misery--a state aggravated by the absence of her mother, who died many years ago. Apparently, single-parent households are rare in the more affluent neighborhoods of Southern California, so Laney feels like a freak. She therefore shuns all contact with other students and spends her time painting dark, brooding canvases, in which she merges her own agony with a cry of pain for the victims of planned famines, or the ocean life killed off by waste disposal at sea.
In short, Laney has ideas and ambitions beyond those that are conventional for a young woman of her time and place. These needs, which cannot be understood by others or even expressed to them, compel her to put aside party dresses (though she looks fetching in them) and disguise herself in mannish clothes. But then, while giving a performance at a local theater, she is accosted by Zack Siler, a brilliant and sociable young man with a long face and dark, narrow-set eyes--someone who has "winner" written all over him and yet seems vulnerable, someone who holds forth the prospect of a love she longs for, while knowing it to be impossible.
But now that I re-read the last paragraph, it suddenly occurs to me that I've summed up Shakespeare in Love.

Gear Review
Well made tool!
I love my Leatherman Wave and use it all the time. From mountain biking, snowmobiling, hiking, dirt bike riding, etc... my wave is always along for the ride. It's well equipped with all the basic tools you will need and very comfortable to hold. I will agree with one other review that says its a bit heavy. But I guess its a trade off with having so many options.
I also really like the outer blades. I use the outer knives a lot and its super easy to open them with one hand and I really like not having to unfold the tool. My wife has a Gerber multi tool and you can't even compare the too. The Leatherman has better tools, is more comfortable to hold/use, and it way better built. The wave is a bit pricey, but worth it if you take care of it and keep it clean. It comes with either the leather sheath with a snap closure or the nylon sheath with Velcro. I highly prefer the nylon sheath.

Organizing for Action: We're the people who don't just support progressive change—we're fighting for it.LET'S GO
Every voice matters.
There's more work to be done to extend the full promise of America to every American. Join the movement fighting for progress.
Love wins
This morning, the Supreme Court ruled today that in the eyes of the law, love is love in all 50 states—regardless of who you are or whom you love.
Excited about today's Supreme Court ruling? Me too.
Make no mistake—we're here today because of people like you who fought long and hard to challenge prejudice, change hearts and minds, and overturn discriminatory laws.
This is something we can all be proud of.
The Supreme Court ruling on Obamacare
Today, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the defendants in the King v. Burwell case, effectively upholding subsidies that make health care affordable and accessible to millions of Americans who would otherwise be uninsured.
But there are those who will stop at nothing to roll back the progress we've made.
Let's take a moment to celebrate—and then keep working to help millions more get covered.
Stand with the team working to expand, not restrict, access to health care.
When it comes to my health, I don't like to take any chances. Once I became a full-time graduate student, I had to go part-time at my job, and as a result, I got dropped from my insurance plan.

Letter: Blue Badge space offenders should be towed
Posted: August 14, 2014|
Your correspondent (July 31) is perfectly correct in identifying inconsiderate parking in a Blue Badge space when no such badge is being displayed.
The answer is quite simple – the vehicle should be towed away with all of the attendant charges being levied before the vehicle can be recovered.
I seem to recall that, in March of this year, the council was going to consider the effects of all day parking being banned in Victoria Park by persons who were not using the park as intended.
I have not read of any outcome of their deliberations to date.

Originally written on Fox Sports West | Last updated 11/29/12
LOS ANGELES -- USC assistant football coach Monte Kiffin announced Thursday that he will resign from the Trojan staff after USC's upcoming bowl game in order to pursue opportunities in the NFL. "I wanted to make this announcement now so that our players who are preparing for the bowl game and our recruits who will be visiting campus are aware," said Kiffin. "I really enjoyed my time at USC and the opportunity I had to work with our players and coaches. The chance to work for my son, Lane, was unique and memorable, but we always treated each other professionally on a coach-to-coach basis. "Although things didn't always go as well as we would have liked this year from a defensive and win-loss standpoint, I will leave USC with the utmost respect for the University, the Trojan Family and, most importantly, the players I had the good fortune to coach. I see great things ahead for the USC football program." Kiffin has 47 years of coaching experience, including 26 years (1983-2008) in t...

Views of Nuneaton & North Warwickshire
Tamworth Road Show - Local & Family History Day
Roadshow run by Staffordshire Archives & Heritage with opportunity to discover Tamworth's rich past through fascinating displays.
There will be displays by local history and family history groups.
Papermaking, writing competitions and children's activities.
Family History Advice will also be available along with Ask the Experts.
NNWFHS will have small static display.See website: http://www.staffordshire.gov.uk/leisure/archives/Events/home.aspx
The NNWFHS Quarterly Journal has been released and is winging its way to members via their chosen method of delivery. As ever our Editor, John Parton, has put together an interesting publication full of facts and information about Family History in Nuneaton and North Warwickshire. This edition features:
Secretary's scribbles page 2Sir Roger Newdigate page 4Arbury estate CD page 4Who Do You Think You Are? page 5Bates - a shockingly bad case page 6Dates for your diary page 7The Ancestry of William Chamberlain of Bedworth page 8Reports on monthly speaker meetings page 9Coleshill Hall Hospital page 10Nuneaton festival of Arts page 10Coal Mines - commemorative plate page 10Perrins Pit page 11Sports in Nuneaton - your help needed page 11Bates Gathering at Atherstone page 12Book reviews page 13Local Civil Registration Unravelled page 14Prying Eyes ... of the Church Courts page 16Queen's Rd Infant School 1935-7 page 17Hams Hall page 18Waterloo 200 page 20New members' contact details & surname interests page 21
Back cover Some of the Halls of North Warwickshire from old postcards
Remember the journal is only available to Members (members click here to view it) and for as little as £10 per year members receive four journals and exclusive access to copies of all journals issued since 2009 as part of their membership. In addition they have access to other databases and information put together by the Society that is not made generally available. If you are not already a member join now!
At a number of events in recent years, queries on southern Warwickshire have been directed to NNWFHS – our knowledge is limited beyond our own "patch" though to a degree we can draw on our learning through work on indexing projects for NNWFHS and also those in the Lichfield diocesan records.
At the WDYTYA Live show in 2015 the problem became even more obvious. NNWFHS, Coventry FHS and Rugby FHS cover their well-defined areas with BMSGH taking care of "greater Birmingham"…the southern swathe is without a dedicated Society, and it is about time somebody gave something back to family history and started a group: there is a vast amount of interest in the area.
So, if you are into family history and live in the southern part of Warwickshire, why not grasp the nettle, talk to the Federation of Family History Societies and the existing FHS within the county and those adjacent to the borders, and get a group going. We dare you to have a go!.
Let's see a new FHS started dedicated to southern Warwickshire!
Due to refurbishment of the London venue, the show was on our doorstep - we could not afford NOT to attend.
Members of the West Midlands Group of FHS booked a block of tables. This proved advantageous: we were adjacent to Coventry FHS, with BMSGH, Shropshire, Malvern & Herefordshire nearby.
The cost to exhibit is considerable. OK, you are listed in the programme and your name mounted above your table…plus a smart carpet down the aisles! We knew we had to sell plenty of CDs but sales fell a tad short. The surprise was the number of people who signed up as new members during the Show. As ever we picked up ideas…and saw some examples of what NOT to do!! We were impressed by the friendly helpfulness of the NEC staff.
Enough members volunteered to ensure plenty were on duty at all times! We all had different skills and experience: it worked well. It was great to meet members keen to support their Society.
We met some lovely people, had some routine plus some unusual queries, but what 'made' the show was the lady who complimented both Coventry and us on our helpfulness and welcoming attitude: she joined!
Would we do it again? Not an outright "whoopee yes" but more "it is again at NEC, we gained members, so we will" decision. The booking is in for 2016, same spot and hopefully alongside other West Midlands FHS Group members.
Come and visit in 2016: 7-9 April [despite what some websites say, it is 7-9 April].
The NNWFHS transcription team is pleased to announce the launch of our latest CDs. This will take place at the WDYTYA event at the NEC in Birmingham on 16 – 18 April 2015. The CDs will also be available at the Chilvers Coton Heritage Centre Spring Fayre on 18 April 2015.
Series 1 of the baptismal transcriptions 1813-1861 includes:
1 : 1 Bedworth1 : 2 Ansty, Bulkington, Burton Hastings, Churchover, Monks Kirby, Shilton, Willey, Withybrook & Wolvey1 : 3 Atherstone, Caldecote & Mancetter1 : 4 Ansley, Arley, Astley, Attleborough, Chilvers Coton & Stockingford
Each CD contains well in excess of 7000 entries and each is £12 for non-members and £10 for members.
The Marriage Licence Bonds 1733-1754 CD contains details of surviving Bonds issued for marriages in Warwickshire, Derbyshire, Staffordshire and parts of Shropshire, held in the archives of Lichfield Record Office. The CD will normally cost £15 for non-members and £10 for members, but we are promoting it with a special "at the show" price of £10.
Extracts for Astley & Chilvers Coton 1684 - 1840s A further CD (£6 for non-members and £4.80 for members) is being launched which contains details taken from the extensive collection of Arbury Estate Papers and Parish Chest material deposited at the Warwickshire Record Office, appertaining to these two villages
Ever wondered how all those records got into our CD's and booklets?, well very simply they were transcribed by NNWFHS members from the original records or copies of the originals onto Excel Spreadsheets.
We have now completed two series of transcriptions of Burials [1813-1865] and Marriages [1754-1881] for all the parishes within the North Warwickshire area; work has now begun on the post 1754 Baptismal records. They provide invaluable information for Family Historians and whilst you are transcribing you can gain an interesting insight to the popular names of the time. All of the previously transcribed records are now available for purchase in our online shop.
Since there are many parishes to be completed and each register contains many entries, it would be a great help to the project team if we had a few volunteers to help us. The work is not onerous; it just needs a little concentration. In order to complete a transcription, it requires access to the filmed [Ancestry] or original [Warwickshire Record Office] registers, the ability to type the records into an Excel document [format provided], and a few hours of your time.
If you have an interest in a particular parish which has not already been transcribed, then we can allocate that to you; at the moment most parishes are available, but for how long ???.
Looking forward to hearing from you [please click here to email me].

Oak Ridge Boys 'still having fun' as they bring Christmas concert tour to Fort Pierce's Sunrise
What: The Oak Ridge Boys
When: 3 and 7 p.m. Dec. 2
Where: Sunrise Theatre, 117 S. Second St., Fort Pierce
Tickets: $46; $56
Information: 772-461-4775; www.sunrisetheatre.com
The man behind the famous bass voice solo "oom-pa-pa-oom-pa-pa-mau-mau" in the Oak Ridge Boys' smash hit "Elvira" was once a soprano.
And as he gets older, Richard Sterban said he has, unlike most singers, benefited from the fact that his voice keeps getting deeper.
Time has benefited not only Sterban, but the rest of the country and gospel quartet. Although they still are remembered for "Elvira" — released in 1981 — the Oak Ridge Boys stay busy touring the country every holiday season with their Christmas concert, which includes carols and an appearance by Santa Claus.
On Dec. 2, the tour stops at the Sunrise Theatre in Fort Pierce.
"Christmas shows are in high demand," Sterban said. "It's become a big part of our career, and over the years, we have become known for our Christmas music."
Before holiday music and "Elvira," Sterban made a living as a backup singer for Elvis Presley as a member of the Stamps Quartet.
He recently co-authored the book "From Elvis to Elvira: My Life on Stage," about his career and his stint singing for the king of rock 'n' roll. A few pages are dedicated to how his voice changed during a summer break between seventh and eighth grades.
Sterban, 69, said he only grants media interviews on days he is not performing to preserve his voice. He also said he avoids dairy products and pasta to prevent phlegm buildup.
He spoke with Scripps Treasure Coast Newspapers from Nashville, Tenn., when he shared some of his favorite moments working alongside Presley.
Presley would gather Sterban and his band members around a piano in a suite in Las Vegas to sing gospel music. During one of those jam sessions, Presley approached Sterban and sang in his ear to show him he could sing the bass as well as he did.
"I think Elvis did well to stick to what he was doing," Sterban said, laughing.
Sterban said he saw Presley for the last time after he left the Stamps to join the Oak Ridge Boys in 1972. It was after a performance in Las Vegas, when he introduced his band members to the singer at the old International Hotel, today's Hilton Hotel.
"Elvis pulled me over and asked, 'What will it take for you to come back?'" Sterban said. "I appreciate it very much, but I'm really happy with the Oak Ridge Boys."
He said leaving Presley to join the Oak Ridge Boys was not a tough decision to make, even though many people questioned him. In the 1980s, the singers decided to record holiday music after Kenny Rogers invited them to perform at his Christmas concert. They recently released their sixth Christmas album, "Christmas Time's A-Coming."
Despite having had issues with his voice caused by allergies and sinus problems, Sterban said that as long as he can keep up the "oom-pa-pa-oom-pa-pa-mau-mau," he plans on performing.
"We have all realized we have to take care of ourselves, exercise and diet," he said. "The key to our future as the Oak Ridge Boys is our health. We are still having fun doing it."

Looks like Miss USA Tara Conner isn't gonna get the dreaded, "Your Fired" from the Donald. In a press conference held today in New York, Donald Trump announced, "I've always been a believer in second chances. Tara is good person. Tara has tried hard. Tara is going to be given a second chance."
Donald also announced that Conner planned to enter rehab. This news comes a day after Conner turned 21 and reports surfaced about her alleged cocaine and alcohol abuse, indiscretions with men and her apparent lack of reliability when it came to showing up at Miss USA-related events. Sounds like she'll have no problem settling into life in Hollywood.
Conner spoke at the press conference and broke down into tears and although she did not go into details about the allegations against her, she did admit to underage drinking and having "personal demons." Isn't that a great line? I'm gonna use the whole 'Personal Demons' things next time I'm in a jam. "In no way when I walked into the meeting with him did I think it would be possible to be given a second chance," Conner said of her discussion with Trump. "You know what (Trump) could have said – 'You're fired' – that's what everyone expected, including me."
Trump says he changed his mind after speaking to Conner and realizing that she is a beautiful woman with a "beautiful heart". Trump blames Conners problems on the fact that "She left a small town in Kentucky and got caught up in the whirlwind we know is New York." She's lucky she didn't end up in LA, or else she would already have her own E! True Hollywood story.

I know my DA account is mostly rusted and stuff, and for that reason not much people will read this, but I do like to take regular tours around DA to enjoy interesting and inspiring artwork. And never get dissapointed.
Also the awesome made a feature of my work, which was a huge honor ._. aaand she made an interesting question about new DA users to watch after. And she's right there are some artists that do deserve more attention, or are so new in DA not much people here knows about them yet.
Aaaaand the amazing did a feature too on her Facebook page :3
She's kind of out of DA recently, but still kicking it on the fine arts department on Facebook. Go check her out!: www.facebook.com/brachoart?fre…
(and encourage her to come back here more often)
So as a little thank and to also share some "kind of new" (but obviously not new at all at what they do) DA users I have found recently, and some colleagues, all with no less than stunning, inspiring work, I'm doing a little feature of them. So go check their galleries RITE NAO!
(btw, I think I'll do two journals of this, since I figured I like a lot of artists here ._. if I watch you and you're either new or a not very well known user around, you may be in the second one) (new as in no older than 3 years here)

I'm new to this, so be easy on me! Using my trusty Minolta x-370 and an Achiever flash indoors at my kid's sporting event, the shots came out half normal and half very dark, almost right down the middle of the pics. Any suggestions?......
That's the old X-sync problem. You set the shutter speed too fast. Everyone's done it at least once, I think. There should be a shutter speed indicated by an "X" or a lightening bolt, or maybe just a regular shutter speed around 1/60 sec. marked for flash sync.
It sounds like you weren't shooting at the correct shutter speed to sync with your flash. I have an old Minlota XGM and the sync speed is 1/60 and is highlited in red on the dial. Check your manual for the correct flash sync shutter speed, or look for the number that is a different color on the dial.
Thanks for the advice, but I had it on 1/60. The flash unit has all kinds of settings on it. Stuff like TTL TW Mn Sm, and a slide bar with W2 W N S T. I appreciate the help. I definately need all the help I can get...
I believe it has to be in the camera and the flash synching as has been stated. The settings on the flash unit would only affect the amount of light on the whole image.
The curtain shutter is not synching and moving too fast leaving half the image unexposed or with not enough light.
Michael McBlane
One clue here ... "TTL" would stand for "Through The Lens" -- indicating that there is a sensor *in the camera* that would measure the amount of light provided by the flash unit, and turn it off when the proper amount reached ... or should have reached, the film plane.Quote:

I can understand the "TTL" setting - that is fairly universal - but the others are more cryptic. "W" settings could possibly be for use with a (W)inder, where the flash output is lowered to permit fast recycling, a necessity for rapid sequence work.
"TW" - I would guess that could indicate a (T)hyristor setting (controlled by a sensor in the flash unit itself) at a reduced output for a (W)inder.
"Mn" - a guess would be something to do with (M)anual - not controlled by any sensor, but relying on manually set aperture for the exposure.
The rest ... I would be farther and farther out on a limb in guessing.
Where, specifically were all these settings?
Do you have a manual for the flash unit?
I have an older Achiever flash and I'm guessing the W2 W N S T could be for the flash head setting Wideest , Wide, Normal, S?, Tele... as mine has a similar thing although not as many choices (W,N,T I think). If you can pull the flash out and it reveals similar numbers, I'm sure that they will corelate to that slide bar. The other clue is that when you do that, it changes the distances it reckons it can achieve correct exposure.Quote:
Originally Posted by dbowyer68rr

Mine actually has another switch which can only be seen/set when the flash head is in the vertical position, and that sets the flash to suit either Nikon, Canon, Pentax or Minolta (or variations of). If you've got a flatbed scanner, scan the back of the flash and upload the pic in the 'others' gallery and we might be able to add some more confusion :)
ohh, i forgot to add... I have an old Nikon FE that should flash sync at 1/125 but I think that speed must be fast as whenever I set it to 1/125 I get the black section, so I try to remember to set it to 1/60. You could try 1/30 or possibly even 1/15... If the flash is doing all the work (ie there's not much ambient light contributing to the exposure) you'll be ok with camera shake as the flash is much faster and you'll still get sharp pics (asuming your focusing is correct of course)

Washington is now one of 26 states to be granted a waiver from federal education requirements that place sanctions against underperforming schools, the state's Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction announced today.
The waiver by the U.S. Department of Education will allow schools that receive Title I funds through the "No Child Left Behind" law to keep their funds, even if the schools have missed achievement goals tied to standardized testing results.
In return, schools and districts must meet other goals and objectives to demonstrate struggling students are reaching academic targets. Some goals will include more adequately measuring teacher and principal performance through evaluations, streamlining learning with common core standards, and measuring student progress more broadly in multiple areas.
The state will also classify schools in categories from lowest to highest achieving to model positive work and institute interventions where needed.
The waiver grants relief from years of relying on a single exam to measure student progress. In Washington, that exam is the Measurements of Student Progress for K-8 students, and the High School Proficiency Exam and End of Course Exams for high schoolers.
In January, Superintendent of Public Instruction Randy Dorn announced he was seeking a waiver from the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, the federal education law that was reauthorized in 2001 as the No Child Left Behind Act.
Through the law, schools that do not meet adequate yearly progress for two years in a row and receive Title I funds are placed in a system for improvement. Schools must then set aside 20 percent of their federal funds toward third-party supplemental educational services, or free tutoring.
In 2011, roughly two out of three schools in the state had not met AYP, Dorn said earlier this year. The goal of the federal law is to have all students meeting standards in reading and math by 2014.
Title I funds go to schools where a majority of students meet federal poverty guidelines. In Walla Walla, all district schools except Berney and Prospect Point are Title I schools. In College Place, all except Sager Middle School are Title I and will see relief under the waiver. All schools from both districts are in some step of improvement.
Through the waiver, the state will start identifying priority schools, or those in the lowest 5 percent of Title I schools; focus schools, or those in the lowest 10 percent; and reward schools, which will be grouped as either highest-performing or high-progress schools.
A highest-performing school would have met AYP in both reading and math for three years, with no significant opportunity gaps present. A high school would in addition need to have among the highest graduation rates in the state.
A high-progress school would be in the top 10 percent of Title I schools through combined reading and math scores over three years. A high-progress high school would show measured progress in increasing graduation rates.
Results from state exams taken in the spring are due later this summer.

Army's exit led way for sheep, cattle era
It was a small trading post of some 100 souls when Zachary Taylor's army pitched tents here in the summer of 1845. It became a boomtown of 4,000 soldiers and 1,000 citizens almost overnight. When the army left for the Rio Grande in March, 1846, Corpus Christi became a pale specter of its former self. Even the town's founder, Henry Kinney, decamped with the army.
In the early 1850s, the army came to the town's rescue once again. At the end of the Mexican War in 1848, the U.S. War Department created the Eighth Military District. It was responsible for operating a string of forts on the Texas frontier. Supplies came in by sea and were hauled by wagon trains to the depot at San Antonio and on to forts on the frontier.
After the Eighth Military District was created, Lt. Nathaniel Michler made an inspection of the country between Corpus Christi and Fort Inge to find a route between the two places. Michler reported that the region offered "every facility for opening a good road."
In 1852, Gen. Persifor F. Smith, commander of the Eighth Military District, made his own tour, accompanied by Capt. George B. McClellan. They started at Corpus Christi and traveled north to San Antonio and on to the frontier forts. After the tour, Smith decided to move his headquarters from San Antonio to Corpus Christi. He sent Maj. William Chapman, the quartermaster at Fort Brown, to prepare the way.
A refreshing change
Chapman arrived in August, 1852. He knew the town, since he had been here in 1845. He found a small village of 700 people by a blue-green bay with neat white houses on a high green bluff. He found the prevailing sea breeze a refreshing change from Brownsville, where it was sultry and hell-fire hot.
Chapman, like other officers of the time, supplemented his salary with various enterprises on the side. He brought in a flock of sheep and later became a partner in Richard King's ranch on the Santa Gertrudis.
Chapman rented houses on the bluff for Gen. Smith and his officers. He rented a complex of buildings on the bayfront to house the quartermaster and commissary operations. The army established storerooms, saddler's shops, wheelwright and blacksmith shops, a huge wagon yard, and quarters for a company of soldiers and transient wagon masters and muleskinners.
Soldiers had hardly arrived before there was a riot. A New Year's fandango was held at the home of Blas Falcon in what was called Little Mexico. A fracas between the inhabitants and soldiers resulted in a soldier being stabbed to death and four others hurt. Next day, angry soldiers set fire to jacals in Little Mexico. The inhabitants fled into the brush. The "fandango riot" of January, 1854, led county commissioners to authorize a police patrol to prevent "disturbances, riots, etc.," in the city.
Corpus Christi became a transit point for officers stationed at Texas forts. Lt. Phil Sheridan stopped here on his way to Fort Duncan. Lydia Spencer Lane, the new wife of a lieutenant, wrote about their arrival in 1854. They stayed in tents on North Beach.
Mrs. Lane wrote that a spacious wall tent had been floored for her and her husband, as newlyweds, but an unmarried officer of higher rank, with an eye to comfort, claimed it. "We only saw the outside of it," she lamented.
With Eighth Army Headquarters here, and with some army supplies moving through town, Corpus Christi looked like a sure bet to grow and prosper. Gen. Smith and his superior, Gen. William S. Harney, bought thousands of acres of land south of town.
The town's heart was lifted by the prospect that the army would move its huge depot from San Antonio to Corpus Christi. But those hopes were dashed by a report by Lt. Col. W. G. Freeman, who said Corpus Christi was unsuitable due to its lack of fresh water and the shallowness of its access routes to the Gulf. He recommended the army move its supplies through the port of Indianola and by wagon train to San Antonio.
In 1856, the town suffered a severe blow when the army began to move the headquarters back to San Antonio. The army's shops, forges and stables were closed. Wagon drivers, many of them immigrants, were out of work. The move was completed in the spring of 1857.
Once again, Corpus Christi was in a bad way. William Headen, a future mayor, once wrote that the city had relied too much on government contracts, that it was all but helpless when the army pulled out. Many who had depended on the $15 a month army paychecks, Headen wrote, were driven to the country: "Some became farmers, others became stockmen, and not a few turned their attention to sheep-raising."
It was Maj. Chapman, the army quartermaster, who had brought in merino sheep from Pennsylvania to breed with hardy Mexican sheep. Chapman's flock grazed near King's new ranch headquarters. This marked the beginning of the sheep era, during which Corpus Christi became one of the world's great wool markets, shipping out millions of pounds of wool each year. The cattle kingdom of Texas began at about the same time, in almost the same location - Santa Gertrudis Creek.
Corpus Christi's prosperity for much of the rest of the 19th Century was tied to the tail of the longhorn steer, and to Chapman's merino crossbred sheep. The city became supply headquarters again, this time for the sheep and cattle ranchers of South Texas.

According to a small study published in the American Journal Cancer Epidemiology , Biomakers and Prevention, the risk of a rare type of cancer in children acute myeloid leukemia is increased when mom to be drink alcohol. The researchers looked at 21 previous studies of women's drinking habits during pregnancy and childhood leukemia , found that women who drank during pregnancy had a 56 percent increased risk of childhood AML . Researchers also suspect that it may an interaction between genes and the environment, including drinking alcohol which causes leukemia in children which is largely unknown.
In am email to Reuters Health, Dr.Julie Ross of the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis, who was not involved in the study, said "The vast majority of women who consume alcohol during pregnancy will not have a child who develops leukemia. However, given other risks associated with alcohol drinking during pregnancy, these results can help to reiterate the message that it is probably best to abstain from alcohol if you are pregnant or planning to get pregnant". Ross also cautioned "While a 56 percent increased risk sounds like a lot, in real terms it means that with a childhood AML incidence rate in the US of about 8 cases diagnosed per million children, the risk might increase to about 12 cases diagnosed per million children. Thus about 4 more cases per million children".
Ross explained further, on the flip side for American Women, she said "This also means that 94 percent might be attributable to other causes". There were other limitations to the studies however researchers say it is possible the results were skewed because some women who drank during pregnancy did not admit to it "due to the stigma".

I have an array of objects with two properties: Name and Hours.
For example:
array = [
{name: "ANDY", hours: 40 },
{name: "ANDY", hours: 50 },
{name: "GREG", hours: 40 },
For example in my array I would like the result of the sorting to have the Andy with the most hours first, then Andy with slightly less hours, and then Greg because his name comes later alphabetically and so on and so on.
Since the array.sort() function passes two elements of the array to compare i realise this is not the way to go for me but fail to come up with an elegant solution. Please help me out.

First things first...This is probably the least expensive spray gun of its type available anywhere - even when it's not on sale. That fact alone doesn't mean it doesn't have the ability to perform just as well as other sprayers costing much more or to deliver a finish you'd be proud to put your name on. However, to accomplish this it's going to take a bit of effort and patience from you - not a lot, but some. As others have noted, there are a few steps which need to be taken before you begin spraying. If you're willing to follow the steps outlined and have some patience during the setup and tweaking process, you will be more than pleased with the results which will make the price of this gun that much sweeter. If not, you will most assuredly be happier with the purchase of another product.The gun ships with some sort of silicone-based lubricant coating the inside of the gun's body and all the parts in the flow path. This absolutely must be removed completely prior to filling the paint cup for the first time. This is crucial as failure to do so will result in less than satisfactory results (fisheye, etc.) Acetone works best and fastest but plain mineral spirits will work as well. Disassemble everything in the flow path that will come in contact with the paint - including the needle and clean them. Overkill is not in the vocabulary when it comes to pre-cleaning the gun to remove the silicone lubricant. Next, you need to apply Teflon tape to the threads where the air nozzle attaches. The trigger pivot pin is a two-part assembly that, in most cases, will not stay together. If you tighten it sufficiently to prevent the screw from working its way out of the pin, the trigger won't move. To solve this problem, apply some threadlock to the threads and tighten the screw until it's snug but still allows smooth travel of the trigger then wait for the threadlock to fully setup before using the gun. Check and tighten everything! You're almost ready to begin painting. (Hang in there, you're gonna make it!)The last thing(s) that need to be done is to tweak the gun's adjustments as well as to familiarize yourself with the available adjustments so that you will know what to do to achieve the type of delivery and finished results you desire.If your compressor doesn't have a regulator, STOP! You shouldn't even attempt to lay down a finish using this gun if you have no way to adjust the pressure. The maximum pressure this gun will allow and still deliver product is 70 psi. Anything higher than that will basically dry the product you are spraying before it reaches the material resulting in a very uneven pattern and horrible results. As has been noted in other reviews, optimal results have been achieved at 35-40 psi. with the fluid control knob set at halfway.The final, and perhaps most important adjustment is that of the Air Adjusting Valve Assy. which is not even discussed in the manual but can have the most dramatic results depending on how you tweak it. This is the adjustable knob at the bottom of the handle right next to the air inlet. This allows finite adjustment of the air being delivered at the tip. Screwed in all the way or closed allows no air through the gun and subsequently no paint. If adjusted correctly in conjunction with the amount of product being delivered via the Fluid Control Assy. and the spray pattern knob on the side of the gun, you can realistically achieve a spray that delivers paint to your target and almost no overspray - almost. The spray pattern knob adjusts the width of the spray from a wide fan mist (not recommended) to a near stream for shooting a very narrow pattern. Now that you're familiar with the adjustments, set the regulator to 35-40 psi., fill the cup 1/4 to 1/2 way with water and practice shooting on a large piece of cardboard. Tweak the settings until you are able to achieve the results you desire on demand. Taking a little bit of time to familiarize yourself with the gun's adjustments will go a long way to helping you obtain professional looking results and perhaps just as importantly, to make painting anything you paint a lot more enjoyable!A few tips:- You will need to thin latex paint. It's simply too thick right out of the can to apply with this gun/tip. - Several thin coats are much better than one thick coat. The product is less likely to run/sag and will dry exponentially faster - especially oil-based paint.- If you are seeing an uneven pattern while laying down semi-gloss or shinier products (some areas flat, some areas glossy, some areas drying faster than other areas, etc.) your pressure is too high.- Whenever possible, paint your items horizontally. This helps to eliminate runs/sags.- Clean the sprayer completely and thoroughly after every use! I can't stress how important this is to the continued performance of the sprayer.I hope this helps make the setup and use of this gun easier and more enjoyable for those who bought this gun and have run into issues. Yeah, it requires a bit of work to get it to where you want it to be but doing so will make this $10,00-$15.00 item worth far more in the long run.One last thing… For advanced users, there are 3 other tips available for this gun. You can order them through customer service. I personally have not used any other tips than the one it ships with but just thought I'd pass along that info in case anyone is wanting other tips.

Gun Needs A Little Reparation Out Of Box

The Gun right out of the box leaked air out of the Fan and Flow Controls, as well as out of the air gauge at base of handle. Additionally it slightly leaked out of the base of the cup threads. Thus a tear-down was performed with an entire cleaning and thorough inspection of the entire Gun. Immediately I had discovered that the cast aluminum body of the Gun is particularly soft (almost like Pot-Metal) which, in turn, had lead to the poor cutting of all the Gun's threads. Of Course I had run tap and die over all the threads, and had wrapped certain threads with a small amount of teflon tape; and/or had replaced and added new rubber O-rings and used thread-locker for the set-nut of the fan control so the knob would not stick if had I used too much teflon tape. After performing this work I again had to thoroughly clean the gun again --- although this time I had the opportunity to play with the control(s) of the Gun while loaded with some paint, with noticeable improvements of the sensitivity and smoothness of the control knobs. Further, there were no more air leaks to go blowing dirt or debry around, inter alia. I believe a great improvement of the fan control and volume of airflow thereof was acquired through replacing the flattened O-ring in addition to adding one to the seating nut and a dab of thread-lock to seal everything up of leaks. This had reduced the excessive sensitivity of the fan control and probably evicerated any turbulance that may have been occurring within the respective chambers of the Gun. To add aditional control over the airflow of the gun I added a high quality regulator at the base input of the gun, and had deburred and ported these orfices while sealing them tight with teflon tape as well. Immediately I had noticed a much more consistant volume of air and smoother transition of paint flow between release and engaugement of the paint trigger. Whereas at the time of its' first use I was shooting an Silver Acrylic Enamel (Nason with 'Wet-Look' Hardener added),---- which had lots of Medimum to Medimum-Heavy Metal Flake in it ---- onto a hood, roof, and trunk deck of a Volkswagon Beatle. And as I stated before this Gun likes to require a considerable amount, or volume of air, to adequately atomize the paint in order to provide not only a smooth finish, but also an even consistancy of the silver metal flake without darkening due to overlap, too much paint, or spitting of the gun, et cetera... Furthermore, ---- as many of you'se probably already know too well ---- a new gun can require one or more paint jobs to get broken-in properly, so to speak, as the whole temperment, attitude, modus operandi, or whatever you wish to consider as you Paint Gun's functionality changes during this period. Thus simply stated, with the reparations I performed on this Harbor Freight HVLP Gun, among meticulously cleaning and taking care of it after every paint job, I can now safely say that I could compare or equate it on a level with one of my cheaper Devibliss bottom cup feed; or at a minimum I have a pretty good primer gun for a rather inexpensive (cheap!!!) price and time investiment. Bottom Line: Its certainly worth the $9.99 sale price (cut orginally from $29.99 to $16.99, and now $9.99), and the little bit of labor, time, parts, and TLC to bring the Gun up to a respectiable level of use for single stage type paints. However, I have not used it with a Croma base, or base coat clear coat product; and probably would not trust it to perform well with these products. This is especially so being they are so expensive for one; and two, being I have better guns just for that type of work. Anyways.... Good Luck if you decide to purchase one. Just bear in mind the things I did to enhance the performance of mine.

Hard to believe for 15.99!
By Phil
from Somerset County, New Jersey
About Me Casual Do-It-Yourselfer
So, first, I have never used an air paint sprayer. I am trying to paint my 53 pickup myself. I had been using the small Preval sprayers which work, but have a very narrow spray leaving lines when dry. So, I bought one of these today. I figured for this much and all I have spent already, what the heck. I have read these don't throw a lot of overspray and spray at low psi. My compressor is your standard 5hp, 13 gallon cheapo model.I bought this gun, the 2.99 red throw away 1/4 filter and the cheapo 6.00 water catcher. Got it home, read the directions, took it apart first to clean off all shipping grease with mineral sprits ( important), put back together (easy), put paint in, sprayed 4-5 test spots on a piece of plywood, and OMG! My first try was quite a success. Did entire truck in 20 minutes, outside. Looks good so far. I used TCP GLOBAL black satin lacquer mixed with lacquer thinner at a 1 to 1 ratio. Sprayed unreal. I can't believe I bought all those portable things! I took it apart, cleaned it well, easy by the way, and I'm ready to go for the second coat. Now again, I'm a super amateur. I am very skilled with power tools etc, so figuring this out was not hard. For this project, I can't see how a better spray gun would be better!Plus, today is Fathers Day and I got an additional 20% off plus a free parts magnetic tray! Thank You Harbor Freight!
Love it!!
By PB
from Tulsa, OK
I never painted a car before and did a good job with this gun. purchased it to spray a base coat and a clear coat later. It turned out great. Just make sure you clean the gun really good before you use it and get the oil out or it will show up in your paint. And go buy some laquer thinner to pour in the cup and spray out when you are done painting. That stuff really cleaned my gun and I didnt have to clean it again after I took it apart to inspect the needle. All I did when I was done painting was pour 4-6oz of laquer thinner in the cup, put the top back on, and shook it to loosen the paint in the cup, then pulled the trigger and sprayed into a cardboard box. completed the process until the gun sprayed clear, then put it away. Definitely a great buy. Highly recommend!!
Great Spray Gun....Unbelievable Value
By Bob the handyman
from Fort Collins, Co
About Me Professional
Was tired of buying cans of spray paint to do small projects. Decided to invest in a paint sprayer but was skeptical about the airless electric ones, so decided to try Harbor Frieght's gravity feed air spray gun. It was less than $20 and I figured what the heck, if it doesn't work out I'm not out much money. After purchasing the spray gun and reading the operations manual, I found that this gun is meant for using oil based paint, enamels, urethane, etc. and not recommended for water based latex paint. I was ready to return it, but after reading a few blogs about this gun....decided to give a try anyway. Wow! Glad I gave it a try!!! Am not sure why they say this gun won't work with latex paint....I have done 4 projects with the gun using latex paint (a little thinning required, but not as much as expected) and have been extremely happy with the results. It sprays a consistent finish and cleans up great. Would highly recommend this spray gun for any project.

Bought in desperation, & happy I did
By Handyboy Jack
from NH
A client wanted a lattice sided outbuilding painted in barn red, & I was horrified at the thought of doing it by brush. I had tried my siphon cup gun, but the latex had to be thinned to the point of red water before it would spray- not good. This unit was on sale @ HF, so I figgered I'd give it a shot. I'm no real painter (handyman), but I filled the cup with un-thinned barn red latex, & let 'er rip. After fiddling with the adjustments a bit, that thing sprayed that thick stuff beautifully, covering the area in one coat.I don't know how long it will last, but I could have thrown it away at the end of the job & still be ahead of the game. It cleaned up easily, & seems well made. I bought another, because two is one, etc.

Great gun
By Arizona Woods
from Oracle, AZ
The best tips for this product on YouTube include sealing the paint cup base with Teflon tape, and cleaning out the gun with solvent BEFORE use. I used the gun at 40 psi and the sprayer worked perfectly. Very little over-spray, with excellent paint transfer. The gun does not include a 19 MM wrench to disassemble the front of the gun. A cone wrench for bicycles will work. A standard wrench is too thick. This gun is for oil paints, not water based paints. It requires an air compressor with 1/4 inch fittings, and will not attach to a 3/4 inch HVLP air supply. I am no spray painting expert, but I found it worked much better than high pressure guns I have used.

I think it's going to be just what I need
By Mike
from Hamden, Ohio
I will be painting a trailer I am in the process of building. The reason I believe it's going to be a good gun is that I watched a U tube video of a guy using this same gun which he purchased from you as well. He was very pleased with it. In my opinion it is well built and looks durable. I think I'll like it.
Worked great - First time user
By Benc
from Sparta, MO
I used this spray gun to paint my Case Tractor fuel tank after getting it repaired.I was a little uneasy about using the spray gun because of inexperience. The booklet that came with the gun was easy to read and understand, especially the troubleshooting section about paint application.I initially went with this gun because it was advertised as accepting less pressure than the higher priced units.I sprayed enamel paint, thinned, at 35 psi and it worked very well. I recommend this unit.

Amazing Value
By joeveto
from Lake Villa, IL
This is my second gun. The first I purchased for more money from a different provider, and I was never able to make it work correctly. I found the HF gun to be easy to understand and use. My first job was to respray my car door, where the clear coat was fading. I took the door to bare metal, sanded it, and then used the HF gun to spray the base and clear (I rattle canned the primer). The results were really good and compared to the two estimates I received I saved nearly $1100, including the cost of the HF gun and various supplies. The HF HVLP gun is great for this amateur, and the experience I'm getting from teaching myself to do this stuff (with the help of online experts of course) is invaluable. I'm excited to refinish more things and fine tune my craft.Thanks for a great product Harbor Freight!
