WASHINGTON, February 22, 2013--The U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) today announced the Agency has sent several biotechnology regulatory actions to the Federal Register for publication in the near future.
Petitions for Nonregulated Status Available for Public Review Under Improved Regulatory Review Process
Under the Agency's improved regulatory review process, APHIS now provides the public an earlier opportunity to provide input on petitions for nonregulated status submitted by developers of new genetically engineered (GE) plants. Once APHIS determines that petitions for nonregulated status submitted by developers are complete, the Agency makes them available for public review for 60 days. By reviewing the petitions and submitting comments during this time, the public can help APHIS identify any potential environmental and interrelated economic issues and impacts for its subsequent evaluation of the petitions. The public will then have another opportunity to review and comment on APHIS' draft plant pest risk assessments and draft environmental assessments before APHIS prepares its final assessments and regulatory determinations.
More information on each of these products can be found at www.aphis.usda.gov/biotechnology/news.shtml; the public comment period will close 60 days after the date of publication of APHIS' notices of availability in the Federal Register.
Actions Taken Under Prior Regulatory Review Process
As APHIS continues its transition to an improved regulatory process, the Agency will ensure a thorough regulatory review for those petitions for nonregulated status remaining under the Agency's previous process. Under that process, APHIS is making the following petition for nonregulated status available for a 60-day public review and comment period, along with the Agency's ensuing draft plant pest risk assessment and draft environmental analysis:
Following the comment period, the Agency will thoroughly review public comments and carefully consider input as it proceeds with finalizing the plant pest risk assessment and environmental assessment for the GE maize.
In addition, APHIS is making available its final plant pest risk assessment, final environmental analysis, and determination of nonregulated status for the following petition:
More information can be found at www.aphis.usda.gov/biotechnology/news.shtml. The public comment period will close 60 days after the date of publication of APHIS' notice of availability in the Federal Register.
Extensions of Nonregulated Status
APHIS also posted to the Agency's website today its decision to extend nonregulated status for the following product:
In addition, the Agency is making available for a 30-day public review and comment period a
These two GE products are similar to products that have previously completed APHIS review. APHIS determined the two products are unlikely to pose a plant pest risk after completing the following: thorough evaluations of the extension requests for nonregulated status and review of plant pest risk assessments and environmental assessments.
Other Regulatory Actions
APHIS is making available today a petition for nonregulated status, along with the Agency's Notice of Intent to prepare an environmental impact statement, for the following product:
APHIS is making available the petition and the Notice of Intent to prepare an environmental impact statement for the GE eucalyptus tree for a 60 day public review and comment period. APHIS will hold a series of online virtual meetings to solicit public comment. Information on those meetings is available at www.aphisvirtualmeetings.com. Following the comment period, the Agency will thoroughly review public comments and carefully consider input as it proceeds with developing an environmental impact statement for the GE eucalyptus.

D-Rose's injury put everything wonky in the East, I had them taking OKC in 7 in the finals.
I hate Lebron James, but his performance in Game 6 against Boston was a once in a lifetime performance, he alone got them to the finals. Lucked out getting Bosh somewhat back for the finals but I think we'll see OKC survive for another day. Miami can get hot and they can also get really, REALLY cold.
Thunder need to settle down and make every basket count. No more sloppy play
I know. WTF is Durant doing trying to be flashy, going behind the back with 3 defenders by him..
I know I cant do it any better, but there has been some pretty dumb shit go on in
this series. OKC is way better than this series is showing. Just ask the Mavericks Lakers and Spurs..
I almost cant watch this anymore

From WBTW-TV 13 A 24-year-old Murrells Inlet mother who was last seen two days before Christmas has been found alive, a website set up to help find her reports. Jamie Lynn Cross was last seen leaving her Myrtle Beach home and getting into the back seat of a green Volvo station wagon around 5 p.m. on Dec. 23. The Facebook page set up for her announced the news of her discovery just after 6:15 pm. Thursday. "She is found and alive!!!!! Praise God!! Thank you all for your support." the site said. Cross's disappearance comes less than a week after Heather Elvis, 20, of Myrtle Beach was reported missing. There was no information about where Cross was found or where she had been. Horry County Police said Thursday night that "Detectives have determined that no crime has been committed" in the Cross disappearance. Just a day after she was reported missing, her friends and family have since started a Facebook page where they posted updates and information about Cross. The page called "Find Jamie Cross" has nearly 4,200 folks following it for news. WBTW is a Georgetown Times/Waccamaw Times/Inlet Outlook news partner.

Measurements & Ordering The Right Size
Shoe sizes vary by style—they run long, short, wide or narrow. We test fit size 8.5 shoes, and sometimes recommend ordering a larger or smaller size. Look for this information on any product page. (e.g. Fit: Runs long, buy a half size down.)
If one foot is larger than the other, always fit the larger foot.
The letters "4A", "3A", "2A", "B", or "C" below the sizes refer to the width of the shoe. The following chart explains the various widths Arthur Beren carries:
|4A or SS
|= Extra Narrow
|2A or N
|= Narrow
|B or M
|= Medium (Standard)
|C or W
|= Wide

Free Senior Citizen Holidays
So what are we offering ?
Most free periods these days are offered to people w eknow and trust and who have been guests here and have proven themselves genuine. One guy booked in for a month - paying the full amount - after having Pace Maker inserted and at the end of his stay, as he was retired and struggling to pay for the hotel etc. he was offered various free periods in the future and has since become a good friend.
If you are an OAP and genuinely 'hard up' and in need of a couple of days or maybe a week away - with bed and breakfast and evening meal, - I will read your e mail request and may ask for more details, and if we like what we hear and feel we have something to share - we will then offer a 50% discount on our normal charges . If all is well and we do not feel you have just conned us, as many do, we will refund all your monies so all you have to pay is your return fare and any extras you may spend locally. The hotel and food will be free of charge.
Sadly, too many people set out to con us, to lie and manipulate the truth to suit themselves and this disgusting behaviour has made us very wary of trusting - and we do need verification and evidence before we offer anything as we have been stung too many times, and considering we are offering what we offer from the heart, it truly disgusts when we hear how we have been conned - duped and fooled by someone with pots of money and how they have lied and bullshitted us and how they think themselves so clever,- when all they have done is ruin it for someone more worthy and more in need as we then pull away and offer less. These people, sadly - are unworthy of my time and effort and yet exist out there and still try it on. You'd be amazed how many e mails and phone calls I get that are full of lies and blatant cons. I have had to toughen up in business or I would have been dragged under decades ago by these self centred assholes.
One of our guests told me that he has cancer and HIV and lives a 4 hour drive from the hospital where he needs to go for treatment - and that as Hamilton Hall is in the middle of that drive, and as he lives in the wilds of nowhere and in a very quiet and lonely location, and as he gets SO MUCH from his stays here en route for the clinic and/or home - that I offered for him to stay here each time he comes and goes for treatment - for free - and we are delighted each time to see him and share a good laugh. He stays for anything up to a week each time. Not that he needs a whole week each time, - but emotionally - he does, as the company and the friendship, laughter and communal feel of Ham Hall, helps in ways we cannot even fathom, and this is the healing space ( for us as well ) that many value and appreciate and that is why I offer these free vacations. Not just so someone can 'get one over' on us - but so some healing can take place on many levels. It is not about what it cost - it is about helping others with an open heart and with no hidden agendas and just being a decent human being - sadly - something the gay scene seems in short supply of.
Another regular customer who has been unwell lately, came for a few days as my guest and his car broke down and took almost 3 weeks to repair and he was climbing the walls with worry. So I offered him to stay as long as it took for his car to be repaired - as my guest - and he offered to help us out around here - as he always does - and he repainted the fire escape - which was a big job rubbing it all down, painting it all and then clearing up after. I was thrilled to get it done, he was pleased to be able to help out and a much needed job got done. He also scrubbed the decking down with a power hose and cleaned up the garden ready for the plants to be planted ready for the summer, and just in time for the hot sunny weather we had at Easter this year ( 2011 ) and it was another job well done and greatly appreciated... and he had fun like a big kid with the power hose machine... I cooked dinner every evening for us all and we had a laugh and the time passed for him, his car was repaired, and he was off home with a big hug and - as always with him - we are sorry to see him go ( and not because we think of all sorts of other jobs he could do... ha ha - well maybe... ha ha )
an e mail:
John. After my heart attack and long time in hospital, my emotions were at an all time low when I checked into your venue for some R&R. What I got was so much more. Although I paid for the first two weeks, I had absolutely no idea you would offer for me to stay a couple more weeks as your guest and I was dearly moved and it truly helped me get back on my feet again. From my heart John, thank you.
Randolph W.
Dear John:
Thank you for the wonderful free week you allowed me to stay due to my health problem. Living alone and being a quiet man, I have few friends and I was really in need of some company and help, and you rose to the occasion with an open heart and a willingness that moved me dearly. I never really said much during the week but at home and with keyboard, it is so much easier to really let you know how your kindfulness helped at a time when I was in despair. I just wish there were more like you on this world and more in the LGBT community.
You are a real treasure John. From the bottom of my heart. Thankyou.
Stanley F.
I had an old gentleman friend ( a client when I was a sex worker ) who lived alone, was lonely, could afford to come each week for a massage with me but wanted to spend some more time - on another day than 'massage day' - with me because - as he said - just being around me and my insanity made him feel better, it made him laugh and we always shared a gossip and he would leave with a smile on his face and a skip in his walk. So every Monday morning he would arrive with his packed lunch, we would share a coffee and a chat, and then he would do my ironing while I got on with my own business - office work - seeing clients etc. We would have lunch together and he often stayed the afternoon and went after the rush hour to drive home. People always laughed when I told them he came and did my ironing for me - but if he wanted to 'hang around and be my friend' when I had a life and a business to run, and as he was retired and had loads of spare time - and as he was good at ironing and enjoyed himself - in my home and around my energies - he had a ball and loved it - and for almost 4 years I never ironed a thing... I enjoyed his company and respected his advice - for friendship goes two ways - and until I moved away from the area and he met someone and started a relationship and our friendship changed, we had a laugh.
Another time in years gone by, I always had housekeepers keeping my London house clean and tidy and one time I knew this man who was a little older than I - around 45 when I was 35 - and he had colon cancer and who enjoyed cleaning and needed the money, so I had him for 2 years do my cleaning and while he was actually slow and not that good, I knew that the company twice a week as well as the money, cheered him up, gave him something to do each week as he didn't work and gave his week some meaning. He would share a laugh with some of my clients who came to know him and many of the guys working on my escort agency grew fond of him, as he was a sweetheart. Now - I could have got a younger, healthier cleaner who did a better job and was better eye candy, but this guy got so much out of his twice weekly visits and to see him smile, and laugh and enjoy those hours was all I needed to know I had made the right decision in employing him.
One day he didn't come, and his father phoned to say he had died, and I was saddened at his loss but pleased I could have been a part of his life at the end, to introduce some distractions and a little insanity into his days - which cheered and delighted, and while it is over 20 years ago, I still remember him and know I did the right thing.
We are not a care facility and do not offer personal care and social service facilities.
All corresppondance must come from the same e mail / phone number / social worker each time and please return all e mails sent between us each time, so we can keep track of what has been said in the past between us - as we get hundreds of requests and do forget who we are dealing with.
Many times in our lives we just want someone to talk to, who will listen and not pass judgement and will have a sensible head on their shoulders and will help if and where they can with words of advise. Friends are often NOT the right people to turn to as they do have hidden agendas and will often simply not have the time for you, which often becomes a heartache in itself when you realise your friends are not as 'there for you' as you thought. family - the same - and while there are many good and loyal friends who are there for you, the sad fact is that all too often, they are too busy with their own lives to bother when you have a melt down.
I usually invite you into my private apartment, where I can relax and we can share some privacy, and I will spend the evening - after dinner - with you. There will be no ' Your times up' and I shall offer a friendly and caring attitude and non judgemental. I am not easily shocked.... so you can be honest and open ,,, knowing it is truly confidential. Sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll - it's all the same to me and I do not blame, accuse or judge.
There are times in anyone's life when you just need a friend, a shoulder and an ear to hear, to feel and to guide,
and with total discretion and privacy, I shall always do what I can to help.
All monies donated go to Hamilton Hall and just to remind you -
Dear John:. I have never known such kindess. I have never known anyone quite like you. The time you spent with my boyfriend and myself trying to help sort out out messed up love life, was so rewarding and consructive, I was amazed at your kindness and thoughtfulness. We both realized a great deal after our lengthy chat with you and we spent the whole of the next day talking in more depth together than we had ever done before and we both stopped hiding from each other and, because of you, spoke openly and honestly and we moved so much clutter from our relationship, it has really helped. So thankyou John. Thank you sincerely. J & R.
Thanks John. When David and I were in need of someone to listen, you were there. I never got that David had gone off me sexually and you figured it straight out - clever old you - and it answered so much that had been going on between us and I just had not figured it out. You were wonderful and David and I discussed it the next day and made a great deal of changes and all because of your thoughtful evening talk. Our lives are now not going to be together any more and we have both found happiness and joy in this parting and we are remaining good dear friends - we just cannot continue as lovers. You were a huge help in cutting through the crap and big thank you John. Big thank you.
Simon . Cleethorpes.
Dear John. What can I say after all you shard with me last week. I came to you a mess. I was so wound up I felt my face twitching all the time and my tummy ws in knots and I knew something was going to give - if I did not sort something out. You prioitised everything for me, and I cannot tell you how much better I feel and so less worried. It just took you to help me see things clearly as I was h=just so lost in it all, boyfriend trouble, Mother dying of cancer, career in a mess, moving back to the UK from Spain - it was all just too much to cope with and your help was so valuable to me and thank you. I will remember you always for your kindness and generosity of heart. Tim ( Southampton )
John. Just a few words of thanks. Being sued by my X lover for everything I had was starting to take its toll on me and your input and guidance was exactly what was needed. You certainly cut through the BS and made me think clearly and I am so glad I listened and followed your advise and am now heads up with the X - he has settled for half - 2 of the 4 flats - and I shall retain 2 for myself, so we both win. It would have destroyed me to loose everything and only because you told me to toughen up and be firmer towards him - take legal action and sue him in return - or at least threaten to, was enough, and we are both happy with the end result. Thanks John, I know I pestered you for many months with this and am so thankful you were there. Tony ( Bristol )
Please be as professional as you can be and we will try and offer the same in return.
Mistakes can happen and we apologise if we make an error, or if you get us at a bad time
and we are not as polite or as friendly as we should be
If you cannot respect us for the long hours and hard work we do and the extra million miles
we go for our guests compared to most venues - then please - go elsewhere.

Photo by Osmo Nutrition's pre-ride, mid-ride, post-ride, and pre-sleep drink mixes.
Sports scientist Stacy Sims, who recently left her research positions at Stanford University, and longtime Specialized product manager Ben Capron founded the company. The pair used Sims's research on endurance athletes to develop their new range of drink mixes.
Osmo, which launched earlier this month, initially brought out four products: a pre-workout mix, one for use during exercise, a recovery mix, and a pre-bedtime mix designed to aid sleep. Here's a quick rundown of each:
PreLoad ($24.99/10 servings)
There are a number of drinks intended to be consumed before sports, but PreLoad is the only one we know of that's designed not around nutrition, but hydration. A standard 16-ounce serving has 3,000mg of sodium. Yes, 3,000mg. In hot weather, athletes can lose up to 1,380mg of sodium per liter of sweat (with sweat rates ranging from .5L to 2.5L per hour).
Osmo says PreLoad helps to increase total body water and, in turn, plasma volume. Much as you'd carbo-load before an event to top off your glycogen stores, drinking PreLoad the night before and 90 minutes before your event starts helps to ensure you're properly hydrated at the start.
In brief testing, our crew has mixed feelings about PreLoad's taste. One didn't mind the taste if PreLoad was cold. But another tester compared it unfavorably to seawater; it's hard to disguise that much sodium. But we did notice that we woke up more hydrated after using it.
Active Hydration ($24.99/20 servings)
The core of the Osmo line, this drink has a modest amount of calories (70 per 16-ounce serving). It continues to deliver mix of electrolytes: 350mg of sodium, 95mg of potassium, and some calcium as well.
Active Hydration's key is the carbohydrate mix and the osmolality (a chemical unit for measuring concentration) of the drink when mixed. Conventional sports drinks, explains Capron, simply are too concentrated for your body to properly absorb, especially during exercise.
"Gatorade has a higher osmolality (concentration) than blood," he says. "So when you drink it, you actually pull body water into your gut to lower the osmolality before it can be absorbed." One result is that Active Hydration has a very light taste that's not overly sweet or syrupy.
Acute Recovery ($39.99/10 servings)
It's essential to get some kind of recovery drink within 30 or so minutes of hard exercise. A modest amount of carbohydrate is helpful, but getting protein is the most important thing. Acute Recovery relies on 30g per serving of whey and casein protein, which helps signal the body to switch from a catabolic state to a recovery and rebuilding. You also get a significant shot of electrolytes.

NORTHRIDGE, Calif. - The Cal State Northridge men's and women's track and field teams both captured league outdoor titles Saturday at the Big West Championships. The women won their fourth-straight title with 198 points and the men's team took home their second title in three years with 176.50 points.
In all, the Matadors won 11 different Big West titles on Saturday, with the men winning six events and the women's team capturing five events.
For head coach Don Strametz, the women's title is the 11th in his 29 seasons at the helm of the program. On the men's side, the title is Strametz's sixth league championship in 24 seasons.
Saturday, the Matadors put on an impressive showing in both field events and on the track. The Matadors swept the 100m and 200m titles in both the men's and women's segment and combined to take three of the four total relays.
In the field events, the men's side grabbed two titles, javelin and triple jump, and the women put impressive numbers in the triple jump and shot put.
Up next for Northridge is a trip the NCAA Western Regionals in Eugene, Ore., on the campus of the University of Oregon. Both teams will be bringing a large contingent of student-athletes to compete in the event that runs on May 29 and 30.
Men's Results
On the men's side, senior Rolando Felizola won the men's triple jump and the Matadors swept the 100-meter dash. They also took individual titles in the discus, 4x100m relay and the javelin.
Felizola leapt 15.73 meters (51-07.25 feet) to claim the Big West title. His season-best mark of 15.92m has already punched a ticket to the West Regionals and he also won the men's long jump crown on Friday.
Awet Hagos finished seventh in the triple jump with a mark of 14.67m (48-01.75 feet) to bring the team's take to 12 points in the event.
In the sprints, De'Shawn Waters (10.53), Reindell Cole (10.70) and Ben Santos (10.73) finished first, second and third, respectively, in the 100m dash to give CSUN the sweep. Freshman Michael Woodham finished in eighth place to give the Matadors 25 points in the event.
Waters doubled his win total with a victory in the 200m, racing to a 21.449 finish to edge UCSB's Jason Newland by just a milli-second. Kevin Nious took fifth in the event (21.80) and Nic Taylor finished sixth (21.83) to add to CSUN's haul in the event.
Nious placed second in the 400m, finishing in 47.66 to add eight points to the Matadors' total.
Gustavo Hernandez took seventh place in the 800m, finishing in 1:54.34 and set a new personal best.
In the hurdles, Robert Robinson took third in the 110-meter event, finishing in 14.23 seconds to qualify for regionals. Michael Woodham took sixth (14.84) and Lance Gonzales placed eighth (15.12) in the event as well.
The Matador men continued their winning ways with a victory in the 4x100m relay, taking the title in 40.55 seconds. The CSUN 4x400m men's team finished fifth in a time of 3:14.24.
In the field events, Anthony Orozco finished eighth in the pole vault with a clearance of 4.90m (16-00.75).
Derek Cooper took home the men's discus title, hurling the implement 52.31m (171-07). Michael Tull placed third in the event with a mark of 49.80m (163-05).
Gonzales, fresh off his performance in the 110-meter hurdles, won the men's javelin with a throw of 63.76m (209-02). That performance is a new season best and earns an invitation to the NCAA West Regionals.
Women's Results
En route to their fourth-straight Big West Outdoor Track and Field Championship, the Matador women picked up individual titles in the three top sprints and in the two relays.
Not to be outdone by the men, the Matador women took the top four sports in the 100m dash. Sherrina Lofton took the title, winning in 11.58 seconds. She was followed by Precious Watkins (11.74), Dominique Calvin (11.86) and Tara Prier (11.95) to give the Matadors 29 points.
In the 200m, Lofton took home her second title of the day, winning the event in a season-best 23.90. Prier (24.28) took third, Watkins placed fourth (24.30) and Calvin (24.49) took fifth in the event.
Shelese Ruffin kept up Northridge's streak, winning the 400m crown with a career-best time of 53.53 seconds. Freshmen Jackie Harrison took fourth (55.02) and Jasmine Cox took fifth (56.21).
Stella Dugall took home a fifth-place finish in the 100-meter hurdles in a time of 14.30. LaShandra Batiste added a point to the CSUN total with an eighth-place finish (14.82) in the event.
In the 400m hurdles, Batiste took fifth with a time of 1:02.48.
The relays continued the Matadors' dominance, as the women's team swept the 4x100m and 4x400m events. In the 4x100m, the women's team finished in 44.88 seconds, over a second ahead of the next finisher. In the 4x400m, the Matadors won in a time of 3:40.43. Both times are regional qualifying marks.
In the field events, the Matador women had some impressive performances. Stella Dugall took third in the women's triple jump with a mark of 12.74m (41-09.75). In the shot put, Whitney Hooks also placed third, posting a shot of 13.92m (45-08.00).

Todd Works With Namco On New Game
Friday, January 17, 2003
One of the world's most popular weapons-based fighting games is about to be reborn. SOULCALIBUR II, the third game in the Soul line (following 1996's Soul Blade and 1999's Soul Calibur), is set for a U.S. release in August 2003 on all three major platforms (GameCube, Xbox and PS2).
With some 3 million games sold worldwide, the Soul franchise is revered among fighter-game fans for its graphics and play action. SOULCALIBUR II raises the bar again with a variety of different game modes and guest characters.
One of the guest characters is - you guessed it - Spawn. The Hell-borne character, armed with an ax, appears in the Xbox version of the game. The GameCube version features Link from Legend of Zelda and the PS2 version has Heihachi from Tekken. (Click here to see Spawn's concept art and in-game screenshots one and two.)
Additionally, all versions of the game feature a brand-new character - Necrid - created specifically for Soul Calibur 2 by Todd McFarlane Productions. (Click here for Necrid's in-game screenshots one and two.)
Will McFarlane Toys produce action figures from the game? (Whispers) yes. More details next month.

Toledo's own Silent Lions return to OT after big yearWritten by Matt Liasse | | email@example.com
Toledo's duo Silent Lions played their first show at Ottawa Tavern one year ago.
"I remember being really surprised at the turnout and by people's interest in what [we] had just begun," drummer Matt Klein said in an email. "I had been playing in as many as three bands at the time … all regulars at The Ottawa Tavern. I'd like to believe that all the hard work and great experiences packed into a relatively short time with those bands prepared me to hit the ground running with that very first Silent Lions show."
The band will return to OT, 1817 Adams St., on Feb. 7 to celebrate the release of their new E.P. They specifically chose the venue to celebrate in.
"We love playing in OT and it's definitely our favorite place to hang in town," frontman Dean Tartaglia said. "I think, because we've been out on the road so much and we haven't had a proper Toledo show in a while … we thought it'd be a great place to put our album out."
The Toledo show falls at the end of a 24-date tour, which they began in January. It will include an extended set comprised of every song they've recorded.
"Having the home court advantage gives us that privilege this show," Klein said.
Klein added that the two are looking forward to the show even though they play Dayton the night before and won't get much rest.
The duo has been touring almost nonstop since releasing their debut "The Parliaments" last year. Their new E.P. "The Compartments," which was released Jan. 14, was recorded between three tours, including 75 shows in 12 states.
"The challenges of being in a two-piece band are the same reason it's fun and rewarding," Klein said. "Touring as a two-piece began a bit more difficult because there are so many tasks to complete, a lot of equipment to keep track of and no back up when you're both exhausted at the end of the day. But we've each found the roles we fit best into and complement each other well."
Tartaglia said the new music has evolved since their first release. It contains more hip-hop and soul.
"The more that we get out on the road and the more shows that we play gives us an urge to commit more time to [record]," Tartaglia said. "We're really fortunate. It's been a really successful first year."
The duo went right into the studio once they had time off from their tour. And it happened quickly.
"It was on the forefront of our agenda," Tartaglia said. "I think we recorded in like six or seven days."
The E.P. features songs like "Runnin' Me Down," "Crash & Burn" and newest up-tempo single "Stolen In The Heat Of The Moment." The accompanying music video for "Stolen …" was inspired by the music videos of the '90s. Tartaglia said it's a psychedelic visual of the song which features lyrics like, "Know it does get better, just have to give it time."
"'Stolen …" is a great introduction to our sound," Klein said. "Its pace and soft/loud dynamic gets people's attention while having an overall soulful atmosphere."
Tartaglia said the E.P. ranges in different sounds, but sonically is comparable to "Stolen." Musically, he said, they wanted to try different things while writing the album.
"We're really inspired by a lot of classic soul," Tartaglia said. "We like to call ourselves heavy soul … this is kind of our E.P. that goes in different directions but I think every song meets in the middle. For us, it was really interesting and it's really exciting to branch out and do more."
He said the band is Nirvana meets The Black Keys, Queens of the Stone Age goes hip-hop and has a Hall & Oats vibe.
"I think our influences weren't coming through as well as we wanted," Tartaglia said. He added the new E.P. is more interesting and "goes more places."

Q:Does sea salt spay only work on people who already have natural curls or wave? My hair is very straight, so would this product still have the same wavy effect. Even when i get out of the ocean my hair doesn't seem to get the "beachy waves" that most people get. It gets slightly more texturized but nothing like beachy wavesAsked on 7/16/2015 by Anonymous
1 answer
A:It works with the hair that you already have so if you don't get "beachy waves" when you're in the ocean then this won't do very much. Although, it will give your hair more texture.Answered on 7/17/2015 by Anonymous
Q:do you have to do anything to your hair in order to get the "beachy" look on your hair, or can you just spray the mist in and it forms the look on its own?Asked on 7/12/2015 by sydthekidd from Paso Robles, CA

A:For me personally it works best when you have wet hair after a shower and you spritz and scrunch your hair so your hair dries with the sea spray in it! :)

A:Our Sea Spray is used mainly to add a beachy texture to the hair, but it also provides a light hold. The sea water and sea salt will help to add that oomph to the hair while also gently holding the hair in place!Answered on 2/13/2015 by Meg from LUSH Direct

A:The Sea Spray has a shelf life of 14 months from its "made on" date so if it was just purchased recently you should still have plenty of time to use it. Make sure to double check the "use by" year, as sometimes it can be a little bit confusing! We don't recommend using the products after their "use by" date.Answered on 9/20/2013 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct
Q:Is this product safe for color-treated hair, specifically red?Asked on 1/21/2013 by Anonymous
1 answer
A:When you have colour treated hair, it is best to stay away from products that have a lot of Salt and Citrus in them since those ingredients are naturally clarifying. Sea Spray contains sea salt, sea water and grapefruit oil in it. Depending on your hair and the dye that you use, this product may have the potential to strip the colour out of your hair and therefore you may not want to use it.Answered on 8/21/2013 by Elizabeth from LUSH Direct
Q:Will this product work well for people with normal-thick hair?Asked on 12/28/2012 by Anonymous

A:Sea Spray can be used for any hair type to help with texture, fullness, and hold. We find it is best to experiment to see how it works with your own hair type depending on the results you are looking for!Answered on 3/7/2013 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct
Q:What kind of texture does it add to the hair?Asked on 11/7/2012 by Kay from Lowell MA
1 answer
A:Sea Spray adds a light hold and texture to the hair, which feels similar to how the hair feels after swimming in the ocean!Answered on 11/7/2012 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct

In that day the LORD will punish Leviathan the fleeing serpent, With His fierce and great and mighty sword, Even Leviathan the twisted serpent; And He will kill the dragon who lives in the sea.(Isa 27:1-6)In that day, "A vineyard of wine, sing of it!"I, the LORD, am its keeper; I water it every moment. So that no one will damage it, I guard it night and day."I have no wrath. Should someone give Me briars and thorns in battle, Then I would step on them, I would burn them completely."Or let him rely on My protection, Let him make peace with Me, Let him make peace with Me."In the days to come Jacob will take root, Israel will blossom and sprout, And they will fill the whole world with fruit.
And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.(Rev 11:15-19)And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God,Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned.And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.Ain't it wonderful? We are His temple :o) The veil will be rent and we will see Him as He is and know as we are known!Rev 21:23 And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.(Psa 132:6-18)Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah, We found it in the field of Jaar.Let us go into His dwelling place(tabernacle); Let us worship at His footstool.Arise, O LORD, to Your resting place(tabernacle), You and the ark of Your strength.Let Your priests be clothed with righteousness, And let Your godly ones sing for joy.For the sake of David Your servant, Do not turn away the face of Your anointed.The LORD has sworn to David A truth from which He will not turn back: "Of the fruit of your body I will set upon your throne."If your sons will keep My covenant And My testimony which I will teach them, Their sons also shall sit upon your throne forever."For the LORD has chosen Zion; He has desired it for His habitation."This is My resting place forever; Here I will dwell, for I have desired it."I will abundantly bless her provision; I will satisfy her needy with bread."Her priests also I will clothe with salvation, And her godly ones will sing aloud for joy.Rev 3:21 'He who overcomes, I will grant to him to sit down with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne. Rev 21:7 "He who overcomes will inherit these things, and I will be his God and he will be My son. (Rom 8:14-23)For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.For you have not received a spirit of slavery leading to fear again, but you have received a spirit of adoption as sons by which we cry out, "Abba! Father!"The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God,and if children, heirs also, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him so that we may also be glorified with Him.For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us.For the anxious longing of the creation waits eagerly for the revealing of the sons of God.For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it, in hopethat the creation itself also will be set free from its slavery to corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God.For we know that the whole creation groans and suffers the pains of childbirth together until now.And not only this, but also we ourselves, having the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our body."There I will cause the horn of David to spring forth; I have prepared a lamp for Mine anointed.(Psa 132:17)"His enemies I will clothe with shame, But upon himself his crown shall shine."(Psa 132:18)(Heb 6:17-20)In the same way God, desiring even more to show to the heirs of the promise the unchangeableness of His purpose, interposed with an oath,so that by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have taken refuge would have strong encouragement to take hold of the hope set before us.This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, a hope both sure and steadfast and one which enters within the veil,where Jesus has entered as a forerunner for us, having become a high priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.WHY AM I GROANING? BECAUSE THIS HOPE< WHICH REACHES BEYOND THE VEIL IS SO AWESOME< AND SO GLORIOUS< IT HURTS!!!!
It sounds to me like he's restoring us back to our original realm . . .our return to the garden of Eden. The realm of the natural is now the realm of the spiritual . . .the emphasis, the influence, the dominance of "this" cursed earth was reversed spiritually on the cross and will also be reversed literally when the "end" has come.My

For teenagers like Inocencio, life in the village could be stifling. The village sat near a dry lakebed pocketed in the Sierra Madre del Sur. It was no tourist resort. Occasionally, a group of Mexican university students or Americans would visit to study the local pre-Columbian ruins, where highly sophisticated, clay figurines had been discovered decades before. Those figurines were at least 2,400 years old, and now sat in museums and private collections far away from the village. Some of the villagers, including Inocencio, had facial characteristicsprominent, downturned noses and full lipsthat resembled those of the figurines. The visitors were more interested in the antiquities, though. They might stop in town for a soft drink or a beer, then be on their way. Inocencio couldnt speak English, so he was unable to ask them about Going North.
The villagers were predominantly Catholic, and celebrated Easter and Christmas and Day of the Dead with feasts and colorful processions that blended indigenous and Spanish traditions. Inocencio took these in stride. They were okay, but he wasnt terribly religious. Hed tried reading the Bible, but it always put him to sleep.
For fun, as well as a food staple, Inocencio would accompany his family to the outskirts of town, where theyd harvest wild grasshoppers, or chapulines. Theyd head to nearby meadows and fields and return hours later with bags full of the insects, a local delicacy. The chapulines werent just any old grasshopper; they were delicately flavored and could be prepared a number of ways. They could be fried in hot oil, salted, then eaten alone as a crunchy snack or as a meal encased in fresh tortillas, seasoned with red chilies and lime juice.
Ground up dried chapulines, when mixed with raw egg, could be formed into little balls then fried like falafel. Or the insects might add flavor and texture to a soup.
If grasshopper hunting was one of the communitys main diversions, the village was in the backwater, all right. Ironically, one of the most cosmopolitan resort cities in the world, Acapulco, sits on Guerreros Pacific coast, perhaps a two-hour bus ride from the village. Nevertheless, Going North seemed more attractive than Acapulco to Inocencio, who had never left the Sierra Madre del Sur. He was curious about the United States. Hed heard so much about it from migrants who had returned to the village.
When he got on the bus to join his brother-in-law in faraway Phoenix, Inocencio knew hed miss home. He knew hed miss his five siblings, his father, and yes, even his mother, who was still mad at him. But his homesickness was overpowered by excitement finally, he was Going North.
The bus trip to Nogales, Sonora, was long and uneventful.
During the trip, Inocencio had carefully guarded his savings - the peso equivalent of $250. Hed heard from other immigrants that this sum would pay for his border crossing; it was easy enough to walk into Nogales, Arizona, from Nogales, Sonora. You just needed to pay to borrow the visa of a Mexican citizen and walk right through.
The con man in Nogales, Sonora, took one look at Inocencio and knew hed found his mark, an indio from the south, the kid in country clothes who looked so bewildered. Give me your money, and I will go get you papers, and you will cross with no problem, the thief said.
Inocencio handed all his money to the man, and when the man didnt come back, he realized hed been robbed.
He was penniless, and he still hadnt Gone North.
Inocencio promised the next coyote that his brother-in-law in Phoenix would pay the smuggling fee. The coyote dressed Inocencio up like a tourist, in shorts and a golf shirt, and gave him fake papers to cross at the port of entry. He handed Inocencio a beer for courage in case La Migra stopped him.
But no one stopped Inocencio at the port of entry. His brother-in-law picked him up in Nogales, Arizona and paid the coyote. Then he drove Inocencio to Phoenix.
Inocencio found work almost immediately, as a dishwasher for $3.75 an hour. He felt rich. He soon found a second job at a janitorial service. He cleaned houses and offices and restaurants. He didnt care about saving money. He was a small-town boy in a big American city. Hed never felt so free. He danced at the big Latino clubs, like the Capri Lounge. He drank Budweisers until he couldnt see straight.
His big brother drove from Los Angeles to Phoenix and took Inocencio back to Los Angeles, where he could keep an eye on him. Youre going down the wrong path, his brother said.
Inocencio didnt think so. And anyway, Los Angeles had its own magic. It was as if the Virgin of Guadalupe herself had plucked Mexico and transplanted it in SoCal. In Inocencios neighborhood Mexican immigrants were everywhere. People preferred to speak Spanish over English. The place even smelled like Mexico. Chilies. Garlic. Street food. For a while, Inocencio sold tacos from a truck. Sometimes, he worked as a cook in Mexican restaurants. Days off, he had his Budweiser and his bailes (dances). If he craved a taste of home, and if he looked hard enough, he might find a corner store that sold bags of fried grasshoppers imported from home.

- A brief introduction to the childes project : with special reference to Greek: chat transcription, linkage, grammatical coding and clan analysis (2010)
- The acquisition of Greek case, number, and gender: a usage based approach (2007)
- Children […] growing up with highly inflected languages such as Modern Greek will frequently hear different grammatical forms of a given lexeme used in different grammatical and semantic-pragmatic contexts. In spite of the fact that the Greek noun is not as highly inflected as the verb, acquisition of nominal inflection of this inflecting-fusional language is quite complex, comprising the three categories of case, number, and gender. As is usual in this type of language, the formation of case-number forms obeys different patterns that apply to largely arbitrary classes of nominal lexemes partially based on gender. Further, frequency of the occurrence of the three gender classes and case-number forms of nouns greatly differs in spoken Greek, regarding both the types and tokens. […] [A] child learning an inflecting-fusional language like Greek must construct different inflectional patterns depending not only on parts of speech but also on subclasses within a given part of speech, such as gender classes of nouns and inflectional classes within or (exceptionally) across genders. It is therefore to be expected that the early development of case and number distinctions will apply to specific nouns and subclasses of nouns rather than the totality of Greek nouns. The two main theoretical approaches of morphological development that will be discussed in the present paper are the usage-based approach and the pre- and protomorphology approach.
- Working with the CHILDES tools : transcription, coding and analysis (2001)
- The Child Language Data Exchange System (CHILDES) consists of Codes for the Human Analysis of Transcripts (CHAT), Computerized Language Analysis (CLAN), and a database. There is also an online manual which includes the CHILDES bibliography, the database, and the CHAT conventions as well as the CLAN instructions. The first three parts of this paper concern the CHAT format of transcription, grammatical coding, and analyzing transcripts by using the CLAN programs. The fourth part shows examples of transcribed and coded data.
- Computer-assisted transcription and analysis of speech (2001)
- The two papers included in this volume have developed from work with the CHILDES tools and the Media Editor in the two research projects, "Second language acquisition of German by Russian learners", sponsored by the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics, Nijmegen, from 1998 to 1999 (directed by Ursula Stephany, University of Cologne, and Wolfgang Klein, Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics, Nijmegen) and "The age factor in the acquisition of German as a second language", sponsored by the German Science Foundation (DFG), Bonn, since 2000 (directed by Ursula Stephany, University of Cologne, and Christine Dimroth, Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics, Nijmegen). The CHILDES Project has been developed and is being continuously improved at Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, under the supervision of Brian MacWhinney. Having used the CHILDES tools for more than ten years for transcribing and analyzing Greek child data there it was no question that I would also use them for research into the acquisition of German as a second language and analyze the big amount of spontaneous speech gathered from two Russian girls with the help of the CLAN programs. When in the spring of 1997, Steven Gillis from the University of Antwerp (in collaboration with Gert Durieux) developed a lexicon-based automatic coding system based on the CLAN program MOR and suitable for coding languages with richer morphologies than English, such as Modern Greek. Coding huge amounts of data then became much quicker and more comfortable so that I decided to adopt this system for German as well. The paper "Working with the CHILDES Tools" is based on two earlier manuscripts which have grown out of my research on Greek child language and the many CHILDES workshops taught in Germany, Greece, Portugal, and Brazil over the years. Its contents have now been adapted to the requirements of research into the acquisition of German as a second language and for use on Windows.
- The acquisition of Greek (1995)
- The development of modality in language acquisition (1983)
- Defined as a general inner-linguistic function, modality pervades language and there can thus be no strictly nonmodal predicative expressions. We shall, however, in what follows, keep to grammatical tradition and exclude declarative and interrogative sentences in the indicative mood from consideration. Although a thorough study of the development of modal negation should prove most rewarding, we must renounce such an attempt out of space limits. […] [W]e shall be concerned with the formal linguistic devices employed by the child for expressing modality in various languages and the functions these serve, i.e. how they are used. Only by the conjoint study of form and function can one hope to arrive at a fair understanding of how the modalizing function develops in the ontogenesis of language.
- The modality constituent : a neglected area in the study of first language acquisition (1978)
- Studies of syntax in first language acquisition have so far concentrated on the propositional side of the sentence, i.e. on the occurrence and interplay of semantic roles like agent, benefactive, objective, etc. and their syntactic expression. The modality constituent, however, has received little attention in the study of child language. This may be due in part to the impetus more recent research in this field has received from studies of the acquisition of English, a language with poor verb morphology as compared to synthetic languages. The research to be presented in this paper is concerned with an early stage of the acquisition of Modern Greek as a first language, a language with a particularly rich verb morphology. Since modality, aspect, and tense are obligatorily marked on the main verb in Mod. Greek, this language offers an excellent opportunity for studying the development of these fundamental categories of verbal grammar at an earlier stage than in more analytic languages. [...] As this paper is concerned with the semantic categories of verbal grammar mentioned above as weIl as with their formal expression, only utterances containing a verb will be considered. For reasons of space we shall further limit ourselves to those utterances containing a main verb. Such utterances divide into two classes, modal and non-modal. [...] In spite of Calbert's claim (Calbert 1975) that there are no strictly non-modal expressions, affirmative and negative statements as well as questions not containing a modal verb will be considered as non-modal. As will be shown below, modal and non-modal expressions are formally differentiated at the stage of language acquisition studied.

IBM bans the use of Siri on its networks due to privacy concerns
If you work for IBM, you are welcome to bring your iPhone 4S to work with you but forget about using Apple's voice driven digital assistant, Siri. IBM has banned the use of Siri on all of its networks due to concerns over privacy. Siri works by sending anything you ask it to a data center in North Carolina; after that, no one really knows exactly what happens with that data once it has been dealt with. Is it deleted once it has been dealt with, is it stored temporarily or is it kept forever?
IBM CIO Jeanette Horan told MIT's Technology Review this week that her company has banned Siri outright because, according to the magazine, "The company worries that the spoken queries might be stored somewhere." It turns out that Horan is right to worry. In fact, Apple's iPhone Software License Agreement spells this out: "When you use Siri or Dictation, the things you say will be recorded and sent to Apple in order to convert what you say into text," Apple says. Siri collects a bunch of other information — names of people from your address book and other unspecified user data, all to help Siri do a better job.
No one knows how long this data is kept by Apple or who has access to it, Apple doesn't say either, its user agreement only states "By using Siri or Dictation, you agree and consent to Apple's and its subsidiaries' and agents' transmission, collection, maintenance, processing, and use of this information, including your voice input and User Data, to provide and improve Siri, Dictation, and other Apple products and services."
Siri's original lead developer Edward Wrenbeck confirms that privacy was always a big concern and the fact that Siri could provide information on your location alone could be enough to violate a non-disclosure agreement. Of course this in no different to many other apps currently available or in fact, the internet in general.
Do you think IBM is right to be concerned over who can gain access to this information and do you have privacy concerns of your own while using Siri?

IBM bans the use of Siri on its networks due to privacy concerns
quick! where did i leave my tin hat.
yes they collect and store it to help siri learn, but it'll be totally anonymized anyway.
If ibm are worried maybe they should just not ask siri when their secret project is coming out...
Somebody please explain to me how this is any different from any other search engine in regards to what data is kept for analyzation and service improvement. This seems ridiculous.
It's not much different, except, with Siri, Apple is getting a free pass in the minds of most users.
By now, most users expect that Google (and Bing, and Yahoo) are mining their data when they search, and, even if only in limited, anonymized ways, sharing it with third parties.
Most users do not realize that Apple is doing the same thing with Siri -- collecting user data and sharing with third parties. In some ways, Siri collects potentially more intrusive information, simply because users are granting it contextual information about their lives and relationships.
It is not necessarily any more evil for Apple to do this than for Google, but people simply need to know that Apple is doing this, so they can have all the information to modify their behavior, if it makes them uncomfortable.
Last I checked, IBM wasn't operating any cellular networks, so turn WiFi off and you aren't "operating on any of IBM's Networks" and therefore, your iPhone 4S is operating on your cellular network. Some stupid MBA came up with this crap policy that is easily gotten around. Guess what? You can still text, make phone calls, use the web, and search with Google or Bing and just as vulnerable, so this policy does absolutely nothing to insure any privacy or security. #Idiots at IBM are clueless.
I believe this article misses a key aspect of the IBM policy. My understanding is that Siri can be used within IBM, but the feature of using Siri without unlocking the phone must be disabled. Otherwise, if they lost their phone, someone would be able to ask Siri many questions that could display personal and sensitive information (calendar entries, email, contacts) without having to type in a password.
That makes much more sense...Anyone using an iPhone 4s should disable that, anyway...in my opinion.
Laslo - You misunderstand...with Siri, there is a setting to let you use it from the lock screen...without paswword, even when locked. So, it is much more than what you say.
chill people. this is probably only for BYOD and if you wanted to connect to ibm's email and outlook calendar with your iphone you must have that disabled. it's probably automatically done to your phone by apps like airwatch that a lot of companies that have BYOD policy use.
i don't think a random employee with a personal device with no company data on there would have their iphone taken away in a hallway if someone caught them using Siri.
It's really a cool and helpful piece of information. I am happy that you just shared this useful info with us. Please keep us informed like this. Thank you for sharing.
Maybe IBM should turn Watson into a personal assistant and show Apple how to do it...
This article is not telling the whole story. I work at IBM and use my own iPhone. For security reasons the phones must be protected with a passcode. The only restriction to Siri usage is the one that specifies "Do not allow access to Siri when locked with a passcode." i.e. you must authenticate with your passcode before Siri can be used. This is to prevent someone who steals/finds your missing phone from using Siri to do things like "Read my emails" and potentially access company confidential information. But I guess this reasonable restriction wouldn't make for nearly as dramatic a soundbite as "IBM bans Siri!"
Actually, if the Wired and Verge articles are correct, it is much different than Google, because the articles maintain the iPhone also transmits what you say when you use Siri for dictation. If this is in fact the case, then IBM has every right to be concerned -- I would not want my employees dictating business emails and have their contents being stored offsite and out of my control.
That's exactly what I think IBM's concern is, that and if you dictate names from your contacts, or schedule something I think everything you dictate will be stored by apple.
And actually Siri is not like big deal for everyone business day, and also IBM is in its right to do what they consider proper to keep security. I know there are some companies that do not even allow cellphones with camera so I think that includes no Siri for them
If I am IBM management and I learn that my employees on the executive, strategic or operative levels are dictating memos with Company confidential information inside them using Siri, I would be very very concerned as to where that data goes and who has access to it outside of IBM!
Where do I find the Ipod Photo Cache? It's not in my Pictures folder.

For the kids, we're making "sushi." This recipe is heavy on the vegetables, but if you're searching for a heartier meal for your kids, add chicken, ham or cheese to the mix. It can also be made to suit your child's sweet tooth by switching the spinach tortilla for a flour one, hummus for whipped cream cheese (it will spread easier), and vegetables for fruits.
You Will Need…
spinach tortillas, 10 in.
hummus, any flavor
baby carrots
1 red bell pepper
1 cucumber
Cut the tortilla into the largest rectangular shape possible. (Note: this step is not essential, but will make the rolling process easier.) Apply a layer of hummus to one side of the tortilla. Slice the pepper and cucumber into long, thin strips. Place a few strips of peppers, cucumbers and carrots in a line down the middle of the tortilla, length-wise. Fold one side of the tortilla around the vegetables and continue with a rolling motion until complete. Cut into six pieces using a serrated knife and serve on ends, like sushi.

For years Vermonters have consoled themselves with the fact that even though they pay the fifth highest per child cost of education in the country (over $15,000 per child per year), the education our children are receiving is "first-rate, high quality, one of the best in the country," etc.). Four years ago, and ironically on the same day that 11th-graders were taking the NECAP exams (whose disastrous results were subsequently announced), Speaker Symington said "…Time and again, the performance of our schools ranks among the highest in the nation…we should all appreciate the tremendous work that our students, educators and school boards are doing to make our schools some of the best in the nation."
The newest results of the eleventh-grade NECAP math and writing exam expose the horrifying reality of the last four years: Without mincing words, the majority of our 11th-graders have been and remain basically semi-literate writers and have not learned basic algebra or geometry. This year, 66 percent of Harwood 11th-graders scored below "proficient" in math and 54 percent scored below "proficient" in writing. Compared to four years ago, the writing score remained approximately the same (54 vs. 52 percent students less than proficient), while math scores continued to drop (66 vs. 54 percent students less than proficient). Four years ago, after publication of these results, the then commissioner Cate said, "We can't let this stand. We have to figure out what's going on and deal with it."
Fast-forward four years. In response to the publication of last week's results, current commissioner Armando Vilaseca says, "What is most striking about these results is the significant drop in math achievement once our students reach high school. In over 90 percent of our high schools, fewer than half the students scored proficient in math and science. We are currently surveying high schools to find out what math courses students are taking and when in their high school career they are taking them, to ensure learning is aligned with expectations for graduation. I plan to do the same for science in the near future…." Déjà vu; after four years of declining math scores the commissioner and the Department of Education still can't figure out what's going on, let alone articulate a plan for remediation? In view of the yearly platitudes and lip service paid by the DOE and without any kind of action being taken or even identifying the root causes, I urge the commissioner and others responsible in the DOE to resign or be fired. Half a generation of Vermont children have already paid the price, and for them it is too late. They have lost any interest or aptitude for basic math and writing, thereby foregoing most professional opportunities in STEM-related and other professions.
