Nice little tweak, I've been considering buying this for a while. I think I'll grab it today.
Hands-on with Zephyr for the iPhone and iPod Touch [Jailbreak Apps]
If you're a jailbreaker looking to add a little more speed and functionality to multitasking on your iPhone or iPod touch, you'll want to check out Zephyr. We have talked about Zephyr before but we'll give you a close up look at what it does and the additional functionality it provides. There isn't much to configure after you install Zephyr which makes it easy to use and it's fully compatible with iOS 5.
The main purpose of Zephyr is to add additional multitasking gestures to your device. It adds the ability to swipe left and right on your springboard in order to page through apps. Swiping up will allow you to close out of an app as well. This is perfect for users who may have a broken home button on their iPhone 4, are out of warranty, and don't want to attempt a DIY home button repair themselves.
You can always choose which swipe motions you want to have enabled. Ones you don't want enabled you can simply toggle off in Settings. In addition to enabling or disabling gestures you can also add application restrictions. This is ideal for situations where the keyboard is active and you may not want a swipe gesture to switch apps or close out the application. This is also a good option for games that require you to swipe so Zephyr doesn't attempt to switch between applications or close it out. If you'd like to get things done quicker and have better application switching functionality than what iOS offers stock, Zephyr is definitely worth checking out.

Nearly four inches long, the "Sand Dune" oyster from Prince Edward Island was so plump, it was bulging out of its shell "like a large breast in a small brassiere," as Rodney Clark, the owner of Rodney's Oyster House in Toronto, put it. Intensely briny and wonderfully sweet, the big, fat, beige-colored oyster tasted like a mouthful of salty butterscotch ice cream.
Clark, an oyster expert, has a lot to say about the oyster's reputation as an aphrodisiac, a subject that often comes up around Valentine's Day. Instead of the usual nod-nod, wink-wink, "let's just say" explanation that most oyster authorities give, Clark launches into an embarrassingly detailed yarn about a hooker nicknamed "the cat woman." She came in all the time and worked the bar at Rodney's. After sharing some oysters with a guy, she would slip a hand into his lap and grope him. "It was quite a floor show for the people at the tables next to the bar," Clark recalls. "We finally had to ask her to leave."
Clark's restaurant has an artful collection of black-and-white bearded oyster photos taken by famous photographers hanging in the oyster bar's men's room. Besides being an oyster expert, Clark's a former art student, and oyster-related erotica is one of his favorite genres.
Valentine's Day is one of the busiest times of the year at Rodney's. Oysters are to Valentine's Day what turkey is to Thanksgiving. And this Valentine's weekend may be the best time to eat oysters in recent American history. There are plenty of oysters on the market, and the recession is keeping prices low. While many restaurants reported dismal holiday sales figures, oyster sales were up.
"We have been riding an oyster high since the turn of the century, and the oyster business is still hot," says Sandy Ingber, head chef and oyster buyer at the Grand Central Oyster Bar in New York. "There doesn't seem to be a letdown in oyster demand." The busiest oyster bar in the country is buying extra supplies for Valentine's weekend — Ingber expects to sell around 10,000 half-shell oysters on Friday and Saturday alone.
On the West Coast, Bill Taylor of Taylor Shellfish in Shelton, Washington, says he can't produce enough oysters to meet the ever-higher demand. And on the Gulf Coast, Jim Gossen at Louisiana Foods reports holiday oyster sales were up around 25 percent over last year and orders for Valentine's Day are brisk.
Better enjoy it while you can. Marine biologists and oyster experts aren't so optimistic about Valentine's Day 2010. Hurricanes Katrina, Rita, Gustav and Ike have limited the Gulf oyster harvest and damaged oyster reefs. And failures in West Coast hatcheries may be the result of an even more disturbing problem.
Ocean acidification is a worldwide phenomenon related to the accumulation of excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The ocean absorbs the carbon dioxide, which makes the water more acidic. This increased acidity has myriad effects on ocean chemistry. Among other things, it retards the ability of marine microorganisms to turn calcium into shell. Ocean acidification has already been blamed for a slowdown in the creation of coral reefs. It may also be the reason that oyster larvae in West Coast hatcheries are dying before they form shells.
Oyster lovers could be in for a rough couple of years. When the current crop of mature oysters is sold out, predictions are there won't be enough new oysters to meet demand.
I wish I could tell you where to get a Sand Dune this Valentine's weekend, but you probably wouldn't think much of it anyway. That's because I visited Rodney's Oyster House in the first week of December, the absolute peak of the Canadian oyster season. By mid-December, Canadian waters get so cold that the oysters stop feeding and the bays on Prince Edward Island freeze over. By February, the oysters have shrunk up in their shells.
If you want to eat great oysters, you need to check the weather report, Rodney Clark explained. You hear a lot about how the flavor of an oyster comes from the water where it's grown. But you don't hear much about how dramatically the flavor of every oyster changes with the weather. In fact, seasonality may be as important as geography when it comes to buying oysters.
At their peak of flavor, oysters are bulging with fat and completely opaque, Rodney explained. To pluck them from the water at their maximum "ripeness," you need to understand the life cycle of an oyster. As the water gets colder in the fall, oysters fatten up with a carbohydrate compound called glycogen. To our palate, glycogen tastes like sugar. In the spring, when the water warms, the oyster slowly converts glycogen into gonad in preparation for reproduction. As it does, it begins tasting fishier. Then in the early summer, the oyster spawns and loses much of its mass and nearly all of its flavor.
In far northern oyster regions, oysters start tasting great in September. But when the water temperature dips below 40 degrees Fahrenheit in December or January, the oyster goes into a sort of hibernation and stops feeding until the water warms up again. Northern oyster experts talk about peak "shoulder seasons" of late November and early April. In between, during the January-to-March lull, Rodney's Oyster House shops for oysters farther south. In March of last year, Rodney Clark brought a couple of shipments of plump Gulf oysters to Toronto for the first time. In the summer, he buys winter oysters from New Zealand and Australia.

Things I liked:solid, close tolerences, great riffling in barrel, does well on velocity despite its very short barrel, 400 fps for a hobby pellet 11.9 grain. can cock without assist tool with a shop rag or your palm if placed in correctly.
Things I would have changed:not much because of its its reasonable pice, you get more then you pay for. rear sites are combat style insted of target sites, combat style has bigger gaps in between front post and rear posts when looking down the sites for a target.
What others should know:the 22 version pellets will stick flush in pine boards, and because of the weight of the pellets it has even more energy at 25 yards then the fast light .177 pistols that do 500 fps with 7.4 gr pellets, this is because heavy pellets retain more energy then light pellets wich means saved power for longer range impact on target. make shure breach seal sticks just above flush, a sunk breach seal can cost 50-100 fps in velocity, 1/32 to 1/16 exposed should be fine. 22 version loves light 9.57 gr beeman fts lead free pellets 480 fps on high end, for lead use air arms or jsb 13.4 gr, its a lighter domed pellet, and rws hobby 11.9 gr for 10 meter paper popping. dont forget 3 drops chamber lube also after 6 months or a few thousand rounds, wich ever comes first. you can use a eye dropper to put lube in chamber hole, then just buy rws chamber oil or the other brands specifically for the chamber, never use other lubes, they are not the same as chamber lube and can dielsel very hard or errode piston seal.
Things I liked:GREAT POWERFUL 22cal PISTOL. WORKS JUST FINE
Things I would have changed:NEED OWNERS MANUAL. NEED TRIGGER ADJUSTMENT
What others should know:QUALITY PISTOL B U Y IT
Things I liked:This gun is unique as are several in my collection, but that's why I wanted it. The main thing I like is that it's a .22 caliber and break barrel. The power is seriously under stated in ths product specs, shoots very hard. Good looks and comfortable to shoot. Has become one of my favorites.
Things I would have changed:The only thing I don't like is for left handed shooting the safety button is a little in the way, because in the fire position it sticks out on the left side, but already getting used to it.
What others should know:There were a lot of bad reviews for this gun almost making me not want one, but after buying I would highly recommend it. Everybody complained on the trigger with lots of fixes, but I don't believe in altering the engineering of things. However, I did make a minor adjustment on mine that turned it into tack driver. I noticed when cleaning the little trigger adjustment screw did not make contact with anything. I simply replaced that one screw with one a tiny bit longer and that removed all the creep and odd trigger pull. Not really an alteration, but now it shoots "hole in hole" at ten meters with a red dot sight. If you try this make sure the screw is not too long as it looks like it could possibly make it fire with out pulling the trigger, (if the screw is too far in).

Western Carolina at Chattanooga
McKenzie Arena - Chattanooga, Tenn.
Saturday – Feb. 1-, 20140
- Chattanooga stayed in first place in the Southern Conference race with a dominating 68-46 win over Wwstern Carolina tonight. UTC has won 17 straight and are 13-0 in SoCon action, 21-3 overall. The Catamounts drop to 11-13 and 5-8 in league play. Davidson is second in the league with a 9-4 tally, 12-12 overall.
- The win was UTC's eighth straight after falling in overtime in Feb. 2010. 65-11 all-time. 29-5 in Chattanooga.
- 1,746 fans attended tonight's game.
- The Mocs have won 29-straight SoCon games…last loss was a 70-60 overtime defeat at Elon on Jan. 7, 2013.
- Head coach Jim Foster won his 804th game today…11th women's coach in the NCAA to reach that mark. His 36-year mark stands at 804-310. The 2013 Hall of Fame inductee is the only coach in NCAA Division I history - men or women - to lead three different teams to at least 200 wins (St. Joseph's: 248, Vanderbilt: 256, Ohio State: 279). This marked his 27th season with 20 or more wins, tied for seventh most in Division I.

Thursday, June 27, 2013
Tim Gipe, a longtime Mount Pleasant resident and former Mount Pleasant Town Council member, has announced he will run for council again. He formerly served under Mayor Johnnie Dodds and alongside current mayor Billy Swails.
A local realtor, the Sumter native is a Citadel graduate.
"I have seen recently in politics that things are getting to be a dirty game. Good people don't want to get involved with the mess of running and good people need to be in politics," he said. "I am willing to offer to serve because I love Mount Pleasant and in this particular race I am not running against anyone. I am running for an open seat."
Gipe applauded the current council members and mayor. But said his 40 years of real estate and development experience could be beneficial.
"I am hoping that by me offering to serve and stepping forward some more qualified people will get back into politics," he said.
"We have great business leaders in Mount Pleasant who don't want to take the time to get involved. I want to set the example for other qualified people to get in the arena."
If elected, his goals are to keep open lines of communication with residents, to create citizen networks to keep people informed and to allow people to really be heard, he said.
Communication of the facts is essential, he explained."Often people hear something and take off in certain directions without having heard the whole story."
Having watched the growth of Mount Pleasant since 1975 both as a resident and a realtor and developer, Gipe said he understands the challenges of managing growth properly.
His campaign promise is to run on his civic and community record. He will not use signage to "litter up the town," he said. His campaign will be a grassroots effort, using word of mouth and social media.
"I don't think someone will be influenced to vote for me because they saw my name on a sign in a right of way. I will be running on my reputation as a civic person."

Please bear with us as we have launched in beta so you may notice a bug or two. The best thing you can do is let us know right here in the Site Feedback Forum. Have a question or comment regarding the new site? This is your place.
For whatever reason, my account name is showing up when I comment instead of the name that I changed it to, despite the fact that I can see the current one at the top of the site.
Interesting. Despite the fact that my name is reverted in the comments for articles, it's what it should be in this thread...
We changed the comments widget. It has bugs. We're fixing them, slowly:)
I'm running IE 11 Preview and the sign in button doesn't work after entering my credentials. IE 10 works. I understand it's preview, but someone might want to take a look to make sure the site will be compatible with IE 11 when it releases.

Please help me fix this. It is annoying to have to login like this every time. This has happened to me now over 5 times, and every time I use the same password.

My bio tools are not working at all. When I try to put media, edit word coloring, and try to do any thing to edit anything, it does not work. I need some help please. Thank you.
Website NEVER notifies me when someone replies to my comments.
It could be that a particular piece of your bio is generating bad code that's not allowing anything to display. I would recommend trying to add bits and pieces to your bio first until you are able to isolate what's causing your edit to not display anything, then you can post back here again once you think you've figured out what specifically is causing the problem. I might be able to offer more assistance at that point.
@Ke'Von Morrow
Looking at your activity page you've more or less only commented on news stories correct? Unfortunately at this time there is no notification system to inform you about replies to your comments in news stories or blog posts. Currently the website only sends notifications when someone posts in a thread or group you have selected to follow.
Alright thank you for the help.
Can you tell me why the video player used on this site is so inconsistent? I generally have to reload a page containing the article I'm reading to be able to view any videos that maybe be on the page of said article, otherwise if i press play a black screen where the video should be stares back at me.
I have no problems going to youtube to find gameinformer video to view, in fact I have your youtube channel open on another tab just so i can easily go there to find the video of the example of whatever was written about in an article so i can view it with less hassle.
Isn't the point of referencing a video or having a video of a game on the web page containing the written article suppose to add value to what is written? Not to cause frustration and drive the user to another web service (away from gameinformers own webpage) that makes it easier to view?
I try and watch every video on low on the gameinformer video player in hope that it will work, and occasional it does.
Other than that awesome site, love the content and keep it up.
Hello IT, just came in to report that there's now a bug concerning users who've been banned that still allows them to comment and send convos to other users. I've experienced this with a couple already.

Welcome to the Trapp Family Lodge
Situated on 2,500 acres in beautiful Stowe, Vermont, the Trapp Family Lodge is a mountain resort in the European tradition by the von Trapp family that inspired "The Sound of Music". This unique luxury mountain resort features Austrian-inspired architecture and European-style accommodations. Open year-round, the Trapp Family Lodge offers superb mountain views, old world comforts and impeccable service, along with activities for every season.
Some activities you can enjoy year-round include yoga, arts and crafts classes, fitness classes, wine tastings and swimming in our indoor pool. In addition, those interested in the history behind The Sound of Music will enjoy our von Trapp History Tour.
Winter at Our Alpine Resort in Stowe, Vermont
Plan your next winter vacation to Stowe, Vermont and enjoy all the amenities of the Trapp Family Lodge. We have one of the finest cross country ski centers in the country, providing 100 km of trails with terrain suitable for every level of Nordic or Backcountry skier and snowshoer.
Our Tyrolean Ski Package offers an outstanding ski vacation value, combining lodging, ski rentals, lessons, and a meal at our famous Slayton Pasture Cabin. A full range of resort activities cater to the non-skier as well.
Springtime at the Trapp Family Lodge
Join us in the early spring at the Trapp Family Lodge sugarhouse as we renew the centuries-old tradition of making pure Vermont maple syrup. Every March when the days become longer and warmer, we start the tradition of maple sugaring.
After the snow melts, our 2,500 acres of superb ski trails become a hiker's paradise, blanketed with beautiful flora, fauna and wildflowers. Vermont's position on the flight path of the annual avian migration makes Stowe a favorite birder's destination.
Stowe is now recognized as a regional mountain biking mecca, and the resort boasts some of the finest custom built trails in VT. Springtime also opens the season for disc golf, and tennis on our red-clay courts, as well as more relaxed activities such as bird watching and yoga classes.
Spend your Summer in Our Luxury Resort's Lodging in Stowe, Vermont
Summers at the Trapp Family Lodge include activities such as playing disc golf and enjoying a horse-drawn carriage ride, as well as mountain biking and hiking around our 2,500 acres of land.
Guests who enjoy swimming will appreciate our two heated outdoor pools, and can also find nice swimming holes in the Village of Stowe, where waterfalls cascade into refreshing natural pools. Those who love a good run can take part in our summer Running Series.
In addition to fun recreational activities in the summer, the hills surrounding Trapp Family Lodge are alive with the sound of music with Concerts in Our Meadow. Bring a blanket and relax on a warm summer evening while taking in the lovely mountain vistas.
View Gorgeous Fall Colors at Our Stowe, Vermont Resort
Autumn at the Trapp Family Lodge is alive with breathtaking fall foliage. Go hiking on our wooded trails under a canopy of red, orange and yellow leaves, then attend a wine tasting in our wine cellar, or do a little bird watching in our beautifully manicured gardens. The southward migration brings birders back for sightings of some rare bird species in the woods near Stowe, with the grounds of the Trapp Family Lodge a prime pit stop for the avian voyagers.
In the Fall there are plenty of activities for adults and children alike, between hiking, biking, campfires, nature scavenger hunts, live family entertainment, arts and crafts, indoor swimming, sauna, yoga, massage; the list goes on. For many visitors at this winding-down time of year the Sunroom, Library and Game Rooms in the Trapp Family Lodge are equally appealing, as places to catch up on that long postponed reading list, join in a board game with the family, or just enjoying afternoon tea and cookies.

Rated 3 out of 5�by LC583 Runs big Nice material, cool design. Dress runs big though, I'm usually an XS and I had to order the XXS for it to fit right. Dress is nice. Just a side comment: If you order items online and plan to return any items IN-STORE, make sure you do NOT check out using your PAYPAL because they can only give you a credit when you return in-store. I wish I knew this when I purchased a few things in multiple sizes, now it's annoying to have to ship it back and wait for refund. April 30, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Nickname Crew Neck Midi Dress Great looking dress that is fully lined. Very comfortable. Can transition from work to dinner party. It's very long...will have to have it hemmed a good 4" in order to sit just above my knee (I'm 5'4"). I'm in between a S and XS. I'm keeping the XS b/c it fits better from the waist down, but the S is actually a bit more comfortable in the chest if wearing a slightly padded bra (I'm a 34A). April 27, 2014

'Fathers of Faith, My Fathers Now!': On Abraham, Covenant, and the Theology of Paedobaptism
The figure of Abraham creates a covenantal framework for biblical theology that allows baptism to be considered in relation to the Bible's developing story line. On this credobaptists and paedobaptists agree. I suggest, however, that reflecting on Abraham also requires baptism to be located in relation to the doctrines of Christology and anthropology, and the theology of divine agency in covenant signs, in a way which points to the validity and beauty of infant baptism. Locating baptism in this way sketches a theology of paedobaptism which has a richer view of Jesus, a more attractive understanding of creation, and a more powerful conception of what God is doing in the sacraments than is present in credobaptist theology.

16-year-old Helena Muffly wrote exactly 100 years ago today:
Sunday, April 30, 1911: Pa and Ma and Jimmie went away today. Ruth had invited Helen Wesner and Blanche Bryson to come and do justice to her very excellent cooking. I rode home from Sunday school with them. I choked at the dinner table which displayed my most excellent manners.
Her middle-aged granddaughter's comments 100 years later:
It sounds like Grandma's sister Ruth had fun cooking a meal for friends—and that Grandma displayed her sense of humor by pretending to choke on the food. A few days ago (see the April 25 and April 27 postings) two of my cousins shared memories about how much Grandma enjoyed practical jokes when she was an older woman. I can now see that this was a trait that she had throughout her life.
I wonder what her sister Ruth cooked. A hundred years ago Good Housekeeping magazine included sample menus each month. One of the April, 1911 Sunday dinner menus is below:
Sunday Dinner
Tomato bouillon
Roast veal, brown sauce
Mashed potatoes
String beans
Boiled custard*
Sponge cake
An asterisk meant that the magazine contained the recipe. For the Sunday dinner menu, the only included recipe was for Boiled Custard:
Boiled Custard
Scald one pint of milk in a double boiler. Unless for some special reason milk should always be scaled, not boiled.
Beat the yolks of two eggs, or one whole egg, very light with two tablespoonfuls of sugar, and when the milk has scaled pout it slowly on to the eggs and sugar, stirring all the while. The milk is added to the eggs and sugar instead of these being added to it, for two reasons. The slow addition of a small amount of hot liquid cools the egg, already divided by the beating in of the sugar, without coagulating it until it is so hard that it separates and permits the custard to separate. Also, in this way all of the egg and sugar is mixed with the milk. When an attempt is made to add adds to milk it is difficult, especially with a small amount, to clean out the dish properly. A little lost with small proportions may spoil or deduce the deliciousness of the dish.
Return the milk, eggs and sugar to the double boiler and cook for three minutes, stirring slowly, but steadily and carefully. A minute's carelessness here may spoil the custard. If not sufficiently cooked the custard will have a raw "eggy" taste, and a minute too long cooks the egg too hard and the custard seemingly curdles. As soon as the custard coats the spoon, or as soon as it begins to feel thicker as one stirs, add the salt. [Note: I used ½ teaspoon salt.] Strain into a cool dish and flavor with a teaspoonful of vanilla. Properly made, the custard will be smooth and the consistency of rich cream.
I made this recipe using a sauce pan since I don't own a double boiler, and it turned out fine.
The stirred custard had a nice flavor—but the recipe directions are definitely right when it says that the custard has the consistency of rich cream. It was much juicier than what we'd consider acceptable for a custard today. I ended up drinking the custard rather than eating it with a spoon, but it made a tasty milk-based drink.

In an interview with the Jefferson Post Wednesday, Representative Jonathan Jordan of the 93rd District (Ashe, Watauga) discussed some of proposed changes Republicans will be pushing for when the GA convenes on Jan. 30.
Tax reform
Republicans in the GA want to move to a consumption-based tax system. "We are looking at eliminating or lowering income and corporate taxes," Jordan said.
"We need a tax structure that improves growth, is (revenue neutral), has a broader base, is more stable and is simple and transparent," he said. "We are trying to fix a system that has been…dragging us down for a long time."
Income taxes fluctuate with the economy, and N.C.'s corporate tax code was written when manufacturing was 50 percent of the state's economy, not the 20-30 percent of today, he said.
Both corporate and income taxes are, in effect, "taxes on productivity," and some types of businesses pay higher rates than other in a system that "picks winners and losers, " he said.
A flat tax on all consumption is being considered. "It would be no higher than 8 percent, including state and local taxes," Jordan said, versus the current 6.75 percent tax in Ashe.
The tax would be revenue neutral, replacing but not exceeding the $19 billion in revenue generated by the current system, he said.
One potential downside would be a one percent excise tax on property, which would be five times more than the current tax of is $2 per $1,000, he said.
Asked if implementing a consumption tax would hurt low-income families who pay little or no income tax, but already pay sales, gasoline and other consumption taxes, Jordan said a "prebate" had been discussed which might offer some form of consumption tax credit.
Immigration reform
Citing the concerns of influential pro-immigration-reform groups like NCFIRE, NC LISTEN and the Tea Party, Jordan said immigration reform would be on the agenda. But the needs of tree farmers and agriculture in general must factor in, he said.
"You can ask the farmers, they can't get anybody else to do (this work)," he said.
At issue is the desire for a system of accounting for immigrants without creating a registry. "Federal Courts will shut us down if we set up a registry," Jordan said.
Framing some of the questions in this debate, Jordan asked, "should we have some sort of state guest program? Do we want to know who they are? Do we want them to pay taxes, buy car insurance? All of these questions are bubbling to the surface," he said.
Documented or illegal, immigrant workers create issues for law enforcement and the courts. Police need to know who they're dealing with during traffics stops, and the courts have to process citations for unlicensed, uninsured immigrant drivers, he said.
"Law enforcement needs identification, taxes need to be paid," Jordan said. "The (federal government) have not stepped up…we have to do something."
Unemployment reform
House Revenue Laws Committee recommendations drafted in December will be taken up by the Finance Committee on Jan. 31. "We will debate it very quickly, and get it to the governor by mid-February," said Jordan, a member of the Finance Committee.
North Carolina owes the federal government $2.4 billion in jobless benefits paid since the onset of the recession. State Unemployment Tax Assessment (SUTA) rates for employers were too low to offset demand for jobless benefits, he said.
Jordan and House Republicans want to implement a three-point solution: reducing maximum weekly benefits and coverage periods, a temporary increase on SUTA rates, and a 20 percent surcharge on SUTA liabilities until the $2.4 billion can be paid down, which Jordan says will be by 2016 given these measures pass.
North Carolina currently pays a maximum weekly benefit of $525, the highest in the southeast. "If we cut it to $350, we're still higher than other states," said Jordan.
The lowering of maximum benefit would only affect those drawing top-of-scale benefits — about 16 percent. "Also, those cuts would not affect anybody currently drawing unemployment," he said.
The temporary increase in SUTA taxes would create minimum rate of 0.06 percent. This would affect employers who currently pay no unemployment taxes due to high employee retention rates, he said.
Asked what stimulative strategies were being considered to boost employment, Jordan said that the first $50,000 of active business income — not including capital gains — could be made tax-free to help small businesses and start-ups.
"That would be a tax credit of $2,500-3,000," he said.
Asked how the GA would negotiate around the U.S. Department of Labor's "non-reduction" rule, which threatens to cut off some 47 weeks of extended unemployment benefits if states reduce their benefits, Jordan said: "We can't change our system for six months…this is the first things we will be discussing when we go into committee. We have to do something."
School calendar waiver
Jordan wants to push for a school calendar "weather waiver," giving flexibility to local school districts who may wish to start school earlier than Aug. 19 to accommodate for snow days, which often push the last day of school into June, he said.
"Ashe and Wautuga have been first or second in school days missed for ten years running," he said.
Opponents of a flexible calendar include summer camps and summer employers of high-schoolers, he said.
Senate Bill 795, containing provisions for an adjustable calendar, passed the Senate and was sent to the House Education Committee — of which Jordan is a member — at the end of last session.
Write your congressman
"We are not going to do anything that will hurt our constituents or the economy," said Jordan. "My constituents need to contact me if they have concerns."

- Financial literacy among the young: evidence and implications for consumer policy (2010)
- We examined financial literacy among the young using the most recent wave of the 1997 National Longitudinal Survey of Youth. We showed that financial literacy is low; fewer than one-third of young adults possess basic knowledge of interest rates, inflation, and risk diversification. Financial literacy was strongly related to sociodemographic characteristics and family financial sophistication. Specifically, a college-educated male whose parents had stocks and retirement savings was about 45 percentage points more likely to know about risk diversification than a female with less than a high school education whose parents were not wealthy. These findings have implications for consumer policy. JEL Classification: D91
- How ordinary consumers make complex economic decisions: financial literacy and retirement readiness (2010)
- This paper explores who is financially literate, whether people accurately perceive their own economic decision-making skills, and where these skills come from. Self-assessed and objective measures of financial literacy can be linked to consumers' efforts to plan for retirement in the American Life Panel, and causal relationships with retirement planning examined by exploiting information about respondent financial knowledge acquired in school. Results show that those with more advanced financial knowledge are those more likely to be retirement-ready.
