Editor's note: This is the third of a four-part series that will explain school funding cuts against decisions to maintain, renovate and grow schools in Whitley County.
Tug of war. That is the game school administrations are playing with the state. No area has been affected more than in the category of transportation. In recent years, fuel costs have skyrocketed and left schools with little-to-no way of covering the added expense.
Since the state declared that charging transportation costs to students was unconstitutional, property taxes are the only revenue source for this line item. The Transportation Fund is used to pay bus driver's wages and benefits along with fuel and repairs.
The gap in this category is both deep and wide.
Fuel falling short
No doubt each driver hears the dollars draining into their gas tanks when making a stop to fill up at the pump. But consider the cost if the vehicle being topped off with fuel only rates five to seven miles to the gallon. This is the situation business managers and transportation directors face each day.
Whitko Community School (WCS) Superintendent Steve Clason said he is constantly working with fellow administrators to overcome transportation demands.
Whitley County Consolidated Schools (WCCS) Business Manager Tony Zickgraf said, "The gas prices have made us suffer tremendously. July of 2012 we paid $3.04 for diesel. In 2010 it was .69 less. We have seen $3.07 in 2012 for regular fuel when in 2012 we saw prices of $2.34. That is a 73-cent increase. The fuel cost has made a huge impact on our budget. When you take those numbers, factor in the amount of fuel one bus takes to get from Point A to Point B and multiply that times the amount of buses we have as well as the days in a school year – that is a lot of money."
According to Zickgraf, .14 of the tax rate goes to the Transportation Fund.
At Smith-Green Community Schools (SGCS), Business Manager and Transportation Director Todd Fleetwood said, "Three years ago, we had to use money from the General Fund to help the Transportation Fund out.
Interim Superintendent Ralph Bailey interjected with, "But now the General Fund is so tight that we don't have anything to fall back on."
All of the administrators interviewed had a common feeling that there is a disconnect between the local schools and the state legislatures making decisions on behalf of schools.
Fleetwood said, "The state now tells us that we have a fleet and here is the budget from Indy, but we could have a bus with a lot of mileage of maintenance, and they don't know that."
Clason said that Whitko is having to become creative in order to stretch the dollars. According to officials, WCCS has not given bus drivers a raise in pay in four years.
Zickgraf said that WCCS instituted a fee for field trips. If the trip or outing wasn't directly tied to curriculum or an IHSAA activity, the trip was going to cost.
"We charge for the bus, the driver wages, and .50 cents a mile for the vehicle," Zickgraf said. "Does that mean some teachers will reconsider their trips? Yes, it probably will, but bottom line is if they want to go, they will find the money for it. Our transportation is hurting so bad we just can't cover those kinds of trips any more. We need it."

That Erin Loechner. Her cleverness amazes me. She's made a list of non-goals for 2011: "moments, habits and choices" she wants to uphold. So Bri and I decided to set some non-goals as well. And because I'm awfully partial to Erin's decision to make her list as though speaking to herself--it's like a verbal pat on the back--I'm gonna straight-up copy her. I invite you to do the same!
"Hey, Anne. You sure are good at smiling. Even when the weather is lousy and your mood is gloomy, you've got a cheery grin for the checker at the grocery store, for the nosy neighbor down the hall, for the operator who calls at 6 am to remind you to pay your student loan (and yes, smiles translate over the phone.) Keep flipping that frown upside down all the way through 2011."
"Wow, Anne. You certainly stepped outside your comfort zone--and stayed there--this year. You quit your job, you made a ton of new friends, you pulled not one but THREE all-nighters. Don't feel pressure to make 2011 as tumultuous as 2010, but do feel free to keep pushing those personal boundaries. There's no doubt that you're more flexible and open-minded as a result!"
"Anne, you know that Starbucks habit you keep trying to quit? Don't worry about it! You can find other ways to economize. You love that morning trip to get your coffee, you love saying 'hi' to the 5 am barista crew, you love being out on the city streets before everyone else. $3.65 seems a small price to pay for all the pleasure that routine brings you!"
"Guess what, Anne. You really can write. Nice work finding opportunities to tell your stories this year. Whether you're blogging, composing articles for Rue, or finessing a simple email to a colleague, you never stop searching for the right word for the right occasion. Don't stop lingering over those lovely turns of phrase you draw from deep within!"
What are your non-goals this year? The things you did really well? Tell me! I'll be back with some non-non-goals (ie. resolutions!) on Monday January 3. Until then, Happy New Year and thank you for journeying through 2010 with me! xo

From Jon: Yeah, my 20-10 record isn't anything to be proud of so far. The season is young. Tell you what, fsutiger. If you beat me with your picks this week, you have my full permission to mock me all next week (with appropriate language, of course). We have seven different games, so one of us will do better. Best of luck.
From Jon: fsutiger, congrats on topping me this week in picks. This was a brutal week for both of us -- and probably a lot of people, given all of the upsets. How about a rematch next week?
From Jon: FSUTiger ... You're right. You were 5-5. My mistake. Looks like you'll be 4-6 this week. Just kidding. Good luck.
From Jon: Brock Huard doesn't mean he's not paying attention to Alabama. He means he doesn't get to regularly see them play because he hasn't broadcast any of Alabama's games. Alabama tends to be on CBS, not ESPNU.
From Jon: Huard set a bunch of school records as Washington's QB in the mid to late '90s. He played three years in the NFL, playing a total of eight games for the Seahawks and Colts. He was 0-4 as a starter. Injuries ended his career after the 2003 season. Say what you want about his playing career, but I can assure you Huard knows football. If you get a chance, listen to some of his broadcasts on ESPNU.
From Jon: That was a typo on my part. What I meant was McElroy is glad his promise comes after a win. Tebow's promise last year came after Florida lost. It was not intended as a slight toward Tebow's promise.
From Jon: The SEC doesn't publicly release the names of officials until the day of the game, so it's impossible to say if this crew will call Alabama games in the future. Typically, the best crews work the highest-profile games. Rogers Redding, the SEC coordinator of officials, evaluates each official throughout the season. The officials' performance dictates their postseason assignments and whether they're brought back next year. There have been times when the SEC benches officials for some games during the season. When it happens, though, you likely don't hear about it because the SEC keeps discipline in-house.
From Jon: You are correct. I mistakenly inserted McElroy's total passing numbers on third down rather than the number of times he has converted first downs on third-down passes. McElroy has converted 33 of 95 third downs through the air (35 percent), not 56 of 95 (59 percent). Thanks for the catch.
From Jon: Yep, that was a typo on my part. Unless Butch Davis has suddenly taken the Miami job again, it's NORTH CAROLINA, not Miami, playing Pittsburgh. Thanks to everyone for the catch.
From Jon: Exactly. Suh's stats for a defensive tackle were out of this world. To have 82 tackles as a defensive tackle is extraordinary. Suh ranks ninth nationally in sacks. Let me put that in perspective. The eight players ahead of him in sacks are defensive ends, and the 20 players behind him are defensive ends or linebackers. And it's not like Suh did it for a bad defense. Nebraska has the nation's No. 2 scoring defense.
More than stats, though, what convinces me that Suh is the national player of the year are the comments by opponents. Texas coach Mack Brown called Suh "as good as any player in America." Baylor coach Art Briles said Suh "may be the best guy I've ever seen on the defensive side of the ball."
Those are pretty strong statements. As deserving a season as Mark Ingram has had -- and again, he is deserving because Ingram had a great year -- I don't hear opposing coaches saying anything like that about him in respect to his position. And no, it's not the media's responsibility to boost up players from the state we live in. That's what sports information departments are for. To me, Suh trumps Ingram this season. It's an opinion, and I respect those who disagree. We can have a thoughtful debate on here without getting ugly.
From Jon: Atcheson actually didn't write the entire book on the 12 national championships; he wrote a chapter on the 1941 season. The book is called "12 and Counting: The National Championships of Alabama Football." I know you can find it online and at the Bryant Museum. It's probably at local bookstores in Alabama.
From Jon: Herbstreit said Alabama's defensive line, outside of Dareus, doesn't have the pass rush to consistently get to McCoy and Alabama will have to use other ways to apply pressure. I don't think that statement is wrong. Dareus leads Alabama with 6.5 sacks. After that, the next d-lineman is Lorenzo Washington with two sacks. Want to know who leads Alabama in QB hurries? That would be LB Eryk Anders (17 hurries), who is kind of a designated pass rusher. Then it's LB Rolando McClain (14 hurries).
From Jon: It's "dumb," "foolish" and "absurd" for South Carolina fans to rush the court. Happy? Someone is going to get seriously hurt during one of these celebrations. Actually, it's already happened. Back in 1993, Wisconsin fans stormed the field after a football win over Michigan and several fans were seriously injured. I covered a Clemson football game once in which a security officer had to be hospitalized after he was trampled by celebrating fans. So whatever words you want to use to describe how dangerous these celebrations are, have at it. You won't hear any complaints from me.
From Jon: Troy will be impacted next season once there's a national signing cap of 28 players. The SEC put a cap in place for itself this season and proposed the national rule. Troy has been one of the biggest oversigners in the country. That's why Troy was included in the story.
From Jon: Mark Morrison of the Over the Mountain Touchdown Club said plans for the Bowden Award have gone on for a couple months. Bobby Bowden said he was kind of surprised (and appreciative) by the award and heard no rumors of it until he got a call last week asking if it would be OK.
From Jon: Barbara, you are correct. Thanks for the reminder. That's been changed in the story.
From Jon: Correct. It's been changed. Thanks for pointing out the typo.
From Jon: UAB announced its attendance at 8,411 last night. The 8,500 capacity number is misleading. UAB has announced more than that in the past. Last night was a good turnout, not a great turnout, for a huge game. Here are recent reported attendance numbers by UAB for home games vs. Memphis:
2010: 8,411;
2009: 9,153;
2008: 9,392;
2007: 7,453;
2006: 8,500.
The cost of tickets and the fact the games were on a Wednesday were obviously factors, as I mentioned in the Hot Corner. Let me ask you all this: Do you think those factors would have prevented a significant football game in this state from being sold out? That's my point. Last night was one more example of the lack of overwhelming collective interest in basketball in this state.
From Jon: Of course I know the Iron Bowl trophy is being presented in Tuscaloosa on Saturday. That's not how it's determined when the Alabama-Auburn hoops game is in Tuscaloosa and when it's in Auburn. I've got to think Auburn could have made a request to the SEC years in advance to play its final game at Beard-Eaves on Saturday vs. Alabama. Wouldn't Alabama at Auburn have been a more interesting Beard-Eaves finale than Mississippi State at Auburn? On the one hand, because the Alabama game always draws well, Auburn was assured of two big crowds (although neither were sold-out) by ending Beard-Eaves vs. Mississippi State. But Auburn also lost the opportunity to attempt to close Beard-Eaves with a bang in terms of public/media interest. Basketball programs in this football-mad state need to think outside the box and be fan-friendly to draw support. In my opinon, closing Beard-Eaves on a Wednesday night vs. Mississippi State falls short of that. You're welcome to disagree.
From Jon: I'm not saying changing the schedule during the season. You make the adjustment well in advance. Is it really a big deal for Mississippi State to not play Auburn on a Wednesday night in Auburn? Of course not. You make the adjustments well in advance and it's not a major issue for anyone. I'm originally from Maryland, whose basketball team closed out Cole Field House in 2002 by ensuring the Terps' final game in the arena was against semi-rival Virginia at home on a Sunday.

Scientists at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) have found a mechanism in the immune systems of mice that can lead to the development of autoimmune disease when turned off. The findings shed light on the processes that lead to the development of autoimmunity and could also have implications for the development of drugs to increase the immune response in diseases such as cancer and HIV. The study paper appears online today in the journal Nature.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by natashalmanzar love it i felt in Love with this one, i have been checking page frequently but they seem that they are not coming back to stock, im really hoping to buy it later on, but i have seem it in other girls and it is truly amazing. 11.26.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by natalie33 Favorite one piece ever! I was hesitant about buying this bathing suit because it was pretty pricey, but it was definitely worth every last penny! It's SO unique and different, and it fits really well. I'm 5'11 and average weight, so I wasn't sure of which size to order. I ended up going with the medium, since I don't have much of a chest and my waist measurement is about 27inches. I couldn't be happier, it's perfect for me! I love everything about this bathing suit and I can't wait to go to the beach and pair it with my denim One Teaspoon shorts! 2.7.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by StarLight smexi i love love loveeeee this one. i got it in an extra small as i tend to be smaller around the waist. buttt i am larger around the bust area ( more like the cups) so i had some trouble with that but i could still make it work. it looks absolutely amazing on and it makes me feel thin and oh so pretty. yes it is a large amount of money to spend on a swim suit, but the beautiful knit bit could easily turn it into some other summer night time piece. i have yet to actually wear it out to a beach considering the snow out... but i will soon. also, not practical if you are planning on wearing it to practice in case you couldnt tell... 2.5.2012

UTAS Home › Faculty of Health › Pharmacy › Pharmacy News › › Congratulations to the RedUSE Program!
The School of Pharmacy shined this past May at the National Medicines Symposium (NMS) dinner where Juanita Westbury and Greg Peterson in collaboration with Andrew Robinson from the School of Nursing and Midwifery, won an award for community engagement.
The award labelled 'Building a medicinewise community: consumer programs' was given to the RedUSE (Reducing Use of Sedatives) Program stating "RedUSE is a worthy project with scope to translate research results into policy and training".
Based on Dr Westbury's PhD thesis entitled: 'Roles for pharmacists in improving the quality use of psychotropic medication in residential aged care facilities' the RedUSE Program consisted of pharmacist-led intervention to analyse the use of psychotropic medications in aged care facilities to treat insomnia, anxiety and challenging behaviour. The team consisting of School of Pharmacy staff, School of Nursing and Midwifery staff and community based researcher Dr Shane Jackson, worked with 25 aged care facilities in Hobart and Launceston as well as 13 community pharmacies.
The project was significant in that it established strong networks with members of the community in both Hobart and Launceston and successfully promoted the appropriate use and timely review of psychotropic medications in aged care facilities.

You have to make it outside your own country first

Re: You have to make it outside your own country first
I saw something recently that made me think of this thread.
I was watching a popular TV show that airs on Showtime in the States. A Canadian actor whom I'm familiar with shows up on screen, has a bunch of lines and is in a couple different scenes - and I was floored - I had a moment of happiness for the guy and thought to myself,
he's made it
After some thought, I realized that the show he's known on here in Canada also airs on network television in the States and probably has more viewers in the States than the Showtime program I had just seen him on. But I still felt as though this was a landmark achievement for the guy. Why?
The US media machine glorifies and over sensationalizes their talent. You see them on the covers of magazines, the topic of Entertainment Tonight, being harassed on TMZ. What's the Canadian version of this? How do we put our talent on a pedestal? If we try, it's usually on a level that can only be seen as a feeble attempt at copying the US, that ultimately falls short. Look at how big of a deal the Emmy's are treated as in comparison to the Gemini's, or the AMA's to the Juno's. One is a red carpet affair, the other is having some buds over for some brews to pat ourselves on the back.
Having mentioned TMZ, I saw a parody done by the good folks at "This Hour Has 22 Minutes", called TMZed. The "talent" that the videographers were following did not shy away, shout curse words at or otherwise become abusive - they were friendly, talkative and willing to share anything - in my experience, this is (for the most part), an accurate portrayal of a Canadian celebrity.
As a generalization, for us here in Canada, the American market is where you need to go to "make it". I'm not sure any of these thoughts would prove relevant to a band/actor/artist from Country A looking to break in Country B... Is it strictly because of a larger market? Is it how talent in another country gets treated differently? Is it because there is
market in your area and it's just a necessity to even get noticed?
Why do I, as someone who has a bit of knowledge of the industry, still look at the actor I spoke of in a different light having landed a role on a US produced show when his "fame" can be attributed to the work he's done here in Canada? I dunno... it's odd.

Shows are what you set-up to entertain fans after they've discovered you (through hearing your records, reading good reviews of your music, seeing you on YouTube, getting a burned copy of your CD from a friend of theirs, etc).
To me, this is like saying that bands don't have to poster for shows anymore because they can do all their promoting on the internet. It's still a way to at very least attract the attention of a potential fan. I know here in Toronto there is a still a good lot of people who go to shows to check out new music, I've met them, and although they aren't as plentiful as folks in smaller markets, (where there is nothing going on other than the show you are playing that night), they might have heard about the show from a poster on a telephone pole.
While I certainly can't argue that playing somewhere where people already know you is better than not, I would also add that I've done good shows outside of my immediate market because it was the second or third time we were there. The first time we showed up as nobodies, dropped a bunch of merch and came back 6 months later as heroes*. Yes, the internet has had a huge impact on how bands get out there, but not everyone (yet), gets all their new media this way. To sum this up and tie in my first thought on having fun, if you always approach a band from a dollars and cents point of view, you may miss out on the fun of hitting the road, meeting new people and making new fans. This also impacts how you are perceived, which again, probably ties in with what I mentioned above. To the average person, a band that has been on a tour will be viewed differently than a band who has not.

For sure, I just see those I know who want to make a living doing something other than trying to "make it", they are studio guys, guys who play corporate gigs, etc... The mates I have that are trying to make a living by "making it" are typically spend more time working the business angle than writing songs and performing live.

Instead, I'm still playing in original bands, always on the look-out for what's cool on the bleeding edge, and having a great time doing it. I think I've been pretty successful that way because I know I'll have a lot of recordings that I'm proud of riding with me in my coffin.

I think they key is to have fun with the piece, everytime adding one or two different elements. This time, I switched out the fabric belt the dress came with to this hot pink belt that I got at the J.Crew outlet last summer. I also later added the navy blue cardigan. It's about making little tweaks that make the piece feel fresh.
Dress- Presley Skye at Nordstrom
(buy it here; more gorgeous Presley Skye dresses here; here and here)
Shoes- Ivanka Trump (buy them here!)
Belt- J.Crew (buy it here)

Miss Esther B. Crampton
3507 North Charles Street
Baltimore 18, Maryland
Dear Miss Crampton:
Mrs. Blalock told me of your telephone conversation regarding a portrait of Anna and the purpose of this letter is simply to thank you and to give our consent for having this portrait made. It was very nice of you to think of this and I appreciate it very much. Anna is so playful that I am afraid the portrait painter will succumb to nervous exhaustion before completing the work. It occurred to me that some of the pictures of Anna published in the Sunpapers or in Life magazine might serve as a text for the portrait painter and that it might not be necessary to have other pictures made.
My preference as to the place for hanging the portrait would be on Halsted 3 where the children who have various heart operations are housed. I am sure they would derive a lot of pleasure from the portrait.
Allow me to take this opportunity to tell you how superb I thought you to be in the television broadcast shortly before election day. I am sure that your testimony had a lot to do with the overwhelming vote for our side.
With many thanks, I am
Sincerely yours,
Alfred Blalock, M.D.

Starting school in a new place can be an anxiety producing experience. We understand! Aside from building a new routine and schedule, there is the matter of getting used to your computer and the programs required for your learning plan.
Getting started at 21CCCS is not something any student is expected to do alone. We offer a comprehensive orientation for each incoming student before classes begin. The orientation teaches students to walk through different menu options to see, hear, and learn how each learning tool works. An introductory screen might look something like the picture below. Each orientation task is broken into simple parts, making it easy to track your learning.
Every year that students return to 21CCCS, we provide a refresher orientation. This helps to remind students to utilize certain functions within our software, while building on more advanced skills and tools. Students receive answers to their questions in our live Virtual Offices, ensuring they are ready to tackle what's to come for the school year.
The software we use to communicate virtually with students is called Blackboard Collaborate. A screen shot of this software can be seen below. The screen depicts a set-up for one of our science lessons. Our software is incredibly interactive and user friendly. The panel on the left side of the image below shows the teachers and students participating in the class. The program grants audio access (which is assigned by the teacher of the course), chatting privileges, writing permissions in the center of the screen, and more. Students are introduced to this software during orientation. Before long, they will know it very well.

Public camping returns to MetroparksWritten by Don Lee | | firstname.lastname@example.com
Related content: Autumn Adventure offers Metroparks exploration
Metroparks of Toledo Area often hosts campouts by scouts and other groups. But starting Labor Day weekend, anyone can camp out at Oak Openings.
The White Oak picnic area, on the parkway just west of state Route 295 south of Toledo Express Airport, will open as a public campground starting with the summer-ending holiday weekend.
Campsite fees will be $20 a night for a single site and $30 a night for a group site. The campsite, with eight individual sites off the drive into the picnic area and two group sites in the open field behind it, will offer treated well water, restrooms, gray-water disposal and a picnic shelter. Firewood is provided.
The new site marks the return of group camping to Oak Openings after the park's campsite was wiped out in the 2010 tornadoes, and the return of individual camping to the Metroparks district after an absence of several years, said Scott Carpenter, director of public relations for the parks.
There used to be family campsites at Farnsworth Metropark along the Maumee River, but the traffic and noise along what was then U.S. 24 made them unpopular, Carpenter said. With U.S. 24 traffic now routed to the north along the new "Fort to Port" highway, Farnsworth camping is being considered again, he said.
At Oak Openings, the new White Oak campground is situated along many of the park's hiking and riding trails, including the 15-mile Boy Scout trail. The park's trails also link to both branches of the Wabash Cannonball Trail, former rail lines running west and southwest from Toledo to as far west as West Unity and Liberty Center.
The park district had wanted to open the campground on Memorial Day weekend, Carpenter said, but getting together things like the necessary state health certifications "took a little longer than we wanted," he said.
The campsites cost less than $10,000 to build, Carpenter said, and Metroparks staff came up with the ideas and did the work.
The campsites will be available year-round, including winter camping, he said. Reservations will be available at www.metroparkstoledo.com after Sept. 1.
New park plans
A recent public brainstorming session yielded ideas, and another meeting in October will give serious consideration to what ideas are practical at what will be Metroparks' newest park, a 1,000-acre farm near Lake Erie in Jerusalem Township.
The Howard farm, which Metroparks has acquired and will develop with the help of Ducks Unlimited, is located on the curve on State Route 2 near Bono. Its 1,000 acres reach almost to Lake Erie — there are two residential areas on the actual lakeshore — and connect to it by way of Ward's Canal.
One goal is to restore the farm to wetlands where possible, Carpenter said, and to develop the rest for park purposes. The October meeting will be the next step in determining what those purposes will be.
Hunting is a possibility, though the details of how to do that need to be worked out, he said.
Converting a farm back to wetlands and adding a park "is not something you get to do every day," Carpenter said. "It's a pretty special opportunity to do this."

Karl Rove, in critiquing the president's first 100 days in office and his penchant for outsourcing his agenda's details to Congressional Democrats, writes:
The stimulus bill turned into a liberal spending wish list that will retard, not hasten, recovery. Already, with mounting job losses the gap between the 3.675 million jobs he said he would create or protect in his first two years and the number of actual jobs in the economy has risen to nearly five million. Reaching his job target now requires creating 249,400 new jobs a month for the next 20 months. Democrats will not fare well in next year's elections if there is a yawning Obama "job gap."
That's always the rub with the Keynesian schemes — they don't work. Usually "the problem" is that the economy bounces back before the money gets spent so the government spending is, in essence, a wasted effort. Obama, having boldly declared a trillion dollar (interest included) boondoggle to be the solution to our woes, now claims responsibility for its results. With the "job gap" widening as unemployment creeps ever higher, GDP contracting at an alarming rate and his toxic bank clean-up plan still up in the air, the recovery seems a long way off. And if you had any doubt, Larry Summers himself told us this was the case.
And if we don't experience a robust recovery, including dramatic reduction in unemployment, who will the voters blame? Goerge W. Bush is a distant memory. The Republican Party can't be blamed because they said, well, "no." So we return to the president and Congress who spent a few weeks cobbling together a pork-a-thon and, the rest of the year on items not related to job growth or economic recovery. In fact, most of the projects Democrats have pursued may retard recovery even further with a bevy of new employer mandates and regulatory schemes.
We are told the president is a very good salesman. I suspect his skills will soon be put to the test.

Social Tech Guide
The Nominet Trust have announced their new look Social Tech Guide.
The Social Tech Guide first launched last year, initially as a home to the 2013 Nominet Trust 100 – which they describe as a list of 100 inspiring digital projects tackling the world's most pressing social issues.
In a press relase they say: "With so many social tech ventures out there supporting people and enforcing positive change on a daily basis, we wanted to create a comprehensive resource that allows us to celebrate and learn from the pioneers using digital technology to make a real difference to millions of lives.
The Social Tech Guide now hosts a collection of 100's of social tech projects from around the world tackling everything from health issues in Africa to corruption in Asia. You can find out about projects that have emerged out of disaster to ones that use data to build active and cohesive communities. In fact, through the new search and filter functionality on the site, you should find it quick and easy to immerse yourself in an inspiring array of social tech innovations."
Code Academy expands
The New York-based Codecademy has translated its learn-to-code platform into three new languages today and formalized partnerships in five countries.
So if you speak French, Spanish or Portuguese, you can now access the Codecademy site and study all of its resources in your native language.
Codecademy teamed up with Libraries Without Borders (Bibliotheques sans Frontieres) to tackle the French translation and is now working on pilot programs that should reduce unemployment and bring programming into schools. In addition, Codecademy will be weaving its platform into Ideas Box, a humanitarian project that helps people in refugee camps and disaster zones to learn new skills. Zach Sims, CEO of Codecademy, says grants from the public and private sector in France made this collaboration possible.
The Portuguese translation was handled in partnership with The Lemann Foundation, one of the largest education foundations in Brazil. As with France, Codecademy is planning several pilots to help Brazilian speakers learn new skills. Meanwhile in Buenos Aires, Argentina, the company has been working closely with the local government on a Spanish version of its popular site.
Codecademy is also linking up up with the Tiger Leap program in Estonia, with the aim of teaching every school student how to program.

Phoenix, AZ (Sports Network) - Jonny Gomes hit a leadoff solo homer to spark a three-run bottom of the ninth inning that helped the Oakland Athletics earn a 5-5 tie with the Chicago Cubs in spring training Tuesday.
The A's trailed 5-2 entering the half-inning. After Gomes homered off Blake Parker, Cuban slugger Yoenis Cespedes doubled and Cedric Hunter knocked him in with a single.
Anthony Recker then grounded into a double play, but Adam Rosales walked and Kila Ka'aihue sent the game to an extra inning with a tying RBI double.
Parker threw a wild pitch that moved pinch runner Eric Sogard to third, then retired Cliff Pennington for the third out.
The Cubs stranded a runner at second base in the top of the 10th and the A's left two men on in the bottom of the inning when Cespedes grounded into a double play.
Earlier, Josh Vitters hit a leadoff single in the top of the ninth, went to second on a wild pitch and scored with two outs when Michael Brenly reached on a throwing error by Pennington to give the Cubs a 5-2 lead.
Ka'aihue had a solo homer for Oakland and starting pitcher Brandon McCarthy gave up four runs -- two earned -- on five hits in four innings.
Rodrigo Lopez allowed one run on three hits in five innings for the Cubs, striking out four.

President Obama, Mitt Romney and the outside groups supporting their campaigns have spent more than $881 million on television advertising since the general election began, according to sources watching the advertising market. With a little over two weeks to go, the two sides are on pace to top the $1 billion mark by Election Day.
The two sides are spending just over $62 million this week alone, according to the data, the second week in a row they have combined to spend $60 million. Romney and his Republican allies have consistently outspent Obama and the Democratic super PACs that back the president's re-election; this week, the Romney side is outpacing Obama by a $36.5 million to $25.5 million pace.
But the battleground remains largely the same. The saturation-level spending includes $14.3 million the two sides are spending in Florida; $13.9 million in Ohio and almost $9.3 million in Virginia. Republicans are outspending Obama in every swing state with the lone exception of Nevada.
Obama's campaign is still spending more than Romney's, though, and Federal Communication Commission rules allow a candidate to buy advertising at a cheaper rate than outside groups pay. This week, Obama's campaign will spend $21.3 million, compared with $15.4 million Romney dished out.
Battleground Ad Spending
Obama's campaign has also purchased advertising in key swing states earlier than his opponents, which allows a campaign to lock in lower rates than they would find if they waited to spend later. Already, the Obama campaign has booked $15.3 million in advertising for the week of October 23 to October 29, and $14.9 million for the week of October 30 to November 6.
The two Crossroads groups have booked a similar dollar amount during the final two weeks. The data show the groups, run by Republican political strategist Karl Rove, have bought a combined $30 million in advertising over the last two weeks.
This week, American Crossroads remains the biggest player among outside groups. They are spending $12.6 million this week alone, three times the $4 million the pro-Obama Priorities USA Action is spending. Outside groups like the National Rifle Association, the Republican National Committee and Crossroads Grassroots Policy Strategies are also spending a little more than $1 million on Romney's cause in key states this week.
At least some Republicans hope to use Romney's strong performance in the first presidential debate, and the bump in the polls that came with it, to expand the map of battleground states in which he can compete. Restore Our Future, the pro-Romney super PAC, has begun advertising again in Michigan; the group is spending just over $1 million on advertising running in all five of the state's media markets.
Democrats, confident in their poll numbers in the Wolverine State, haven't spent any money there during the general election.
But polls have shown another swing state, Wisconsin, tightening. A survey conducted by Marquette University released Wednesday showed Obama in a statistical tie with Romney, while an NBC/Wall Street Journal poll conducted by Marist College showed Obama ahead by a more comfortable 51 percent to 45 percent margin.
The way the Obama campaign is spending may hint that their internal numbers look more like Marquette's than Marist's. Team Obama spent $1.9 million on advertisements in Wisconsin this week, more than the campaign is spending in North Carolina, New Hampshire, Nevada, Iowa and Colorado.
As Republicans search for Democratic-leaning states in which to compete, Romney is spending just about $680,000 in Wisconsin, while Restore Our Future drops $1.4 million into the state. The NRA and Ending Spending, a conservative group funded by TD Ameritrade founder Joe Ricketts, are also up with significant ad buys in the low six-figures this week.

The UW beam has 1,000x more durability compared to related technologies, thereby ensuring better control over the million-degree light-generating plasma.
The technology industry has resolved the potential standard for creating microchips to be 13.5-nm light wavelength. High-temperature plasmas will contribute such extreme ultraviolet light. In order to generate this extreme UV light, the electronics industry experts use a droplet of tin, followed by shooting it with a laser that will result in plasma generating a brief spark of light. Using a $100 M machine, chip manufacturers achieve bouncing of light through a series of mirrors, followed by targeting the light onto a silicon wafer, where energy absorption from light is absorbed in each step.
High temperature of hydrogen plasma within the sun leads to the fusion of hydrogen nuclei, which in turn generates energy. Efforts are being made by the UW scientists to replicate this energy on Earth. A fusion reactor using hydrogen as its fuel and producing helium as a waste product will support this initiative.
The UW group targets on affordable version of a fusion reactor utilizing currents passing through the material to accommodate the million-degree stable and durable plasma.
Light produced through chip industrial techniques produce spark that has only 20 to 50 ns of lifetime, whereas Zplasma's light beam lasts 20 to 50 µs.
With the help of various supports, research team at UV was able to generate 13.5-nm light and also upgraded an equipment making it extremely compact and suitable to emit a sharp beam.

How strange to see Protas brought up here-- I only just a few days ago realized that he was in New York. We both spent a year at Walnut Hill School in Massachusetts-- he was about 14 at the time, I think. I believe that his training was all local (plus summer intensives, I assume) prior to that. The next year he went to Toronto, and apparently spent three years there, then one at SAB.
I ran into him quite by chance a couple evenings ago at Fall For Dance, and I had no idea he was now an apprentice with New York City Ballet. I will add, though, that even when I knew him, he was very pliant and had soft landings. I look forward to seeing him in the ensemble of future City Ballet performances.

On average, investment returns on college and university endowments declined by 0.3 percent in the last fiscal year, a sharp drop from the average return of 19.2 percent in fiscal 2011, according to a study by the Commonfund Institute and the National Association of College and University Business Officers, known as Nacubo.
The returns were dragged down mostly by the dismal performance of international equities, whose returns declined by 11.9 percent, attributable in good part to the economic turmoil in Europe and the slowdown in China. Domestic stocks had an average return of 2 percent, and fixed-income assets 6.8 percent.
The study, based on data from 831 American colleges and universities with a total of more than $400 billion in endowment assets, showed more positive long-term results. Preliminary results were released in late October.
"Over the last 10 years, the average rate of return was 6.2 percent," said John D. Walda, the president of Nacubo. "That's a good number when you compare it with various indices."

Peter Jackson's The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey debuted in theaters December 14th, shattering box-office records with a $37.5 million global take its opening Friday.
That's more than the opening of The Lord Of The Rings trilogy. It breaks two domestic records–biggest December Friday and biggest December weekend–according to IMDb. And the industry is speculating that the film could gross $200 million worldwide by Sunday.
Perhaps the money will help soften the unfavorable reviews–critics accuse Jackson of forcing the simple "Hobbit" story into a trilogy format, when it is not robust enough to carry three films.
But I'm betting that at least one man is in the theaters this weekend, chomping on popcorn and raving over The Hobbit's picture quality: billionaire and Oakley founder Jim Jannard.
Why would a sunglass mogul worth $2.8 billion care about this movie? Well, because he helped make it. After building Oakley into a global brand and cashing out to eyewear conglomerate Luxottica for $2.1 billion in 2007, Jannard quietly turned his attention to producing a camera worthy of the big screen. The result: Jannard's RED digital camera–Jackson used 48 to film The Hobbit.
In fact, Jackson was the first director to test Jannard's prototypes, at a time when no one thought digital cameras could make as beautiful images as film. The result was a 15-minute short called "Crossing the Line"–and a relationship that has endured. Here's what Jackson had to say about his creative collaboration with Jannard:
Q. How did you first end up hearing about the RED camera?
Peter Jackson: I heard about RED the same way as everybody else did—-over the Internet. This was before I ever met or spoke to (Jannard). I was intrigued. It was an interesting period of time where it was clear that digital cinematography was arriving, and it was going to be the way films were made in the future. And yet at that time the quality of the cameras and the quality of the image was not really particularly good.
It seemed like the major camera-makers–the big companies–were not really providing the sort of image quality; They were heavy, and they were very, very expensive. And so suddenly RED shows up, with Jim Jannard, and he's got some very interesting revolutionary ideas about how to improve the picture quality, make the cameras light and small, and bring their price down. And so that sort of appealed to me–it's a maverick approach. It's the sort of approach in which things advance–by somebody like Jim Jannard coming along to do that, and forcing the big companies to basically pick up their game.
Q. How did you end up working with the RED camera?
Jackson: I contacted him, and I said, 'Listen, this sounds fantastic. I've shot all my films on film so far, on 35 mil, but if there was a digital camera that was good enough quality, I'd be very interested in trying it. Is there anything I can do to help you? If you've got prototype cameras and you'd like to test them…We can put them through their paces, as it were, and give you any thoughts.' He was very responsive to that idea. Before too long, suddenly he calls me up and he says 'Look, I've got these two prototypes and I'd love to take you up on your offer.'
I think we were all thinking it would be like you'd literally go out with a car and film some scenery somewhere, and maybe do some tests in the studio. Jim said, 'Can I get on the plane and come down now?' Like, he was literally about to fly down. And so I said, 'Sure, come on down.' I was in between jobs at that time, and had some downtime.
He literally took off, and was out of communication for 12 hours while he was on the plane. I suddenly thought, well, the best way to actually do what we've offered to do and to put them through a genuine field test is to make a film. You can't just do tests in a studio or lab. You've actually got to put these cameras through the works, with the sort of pressure and the sort of infrastructure that you would use on a real film set.
So, I got some of our team together, actors and props people, and I said, 'Look, the only thing I can think of that we could do in the space of the next few hours is to drag some of my World War One props out of the store room, and we'll figure out a little story. And the best way to help Jim with these cameras is to literally script and to shoot it like a little film. '
By the time Jim arrived here, he got from the airport to meet with us, we all sat 'round a table and we had our team there, and I said, 'Look, since you took off I've figured out this little story line we're going to film. I've got some actors. We're going to shoot this film, it's going to take about two days. And we think this is going to be a really fantastic test for the cameras.'
The following day, the day after he landed, we were on the set. We dug trenches, made a battlefield, got tanks, airplanes, guns, soldiers—and we were shooting this little film. And it was a good test. It was very good test.
Q. How did you work with Jim during the filming of The Hobbit?
Jackson: We're just friends now, so we try to help him as friends. When he was developing the Epic he gave us very early prototypes of the Epic, which was while we were in pre-production on The Hobbit. And then those prototypes developed into the first production models. We got the very first production models just as we were starting The Hobbit.

Bristol Police and Crime Commissioner to fight cuts, violence and anti-social behaviour
Posted: November 19, 2012|
SUE Mountstevens says her priorities as Avon and Somerset's first police and crime commissioner will be to target anti-social behaviour, burglary and violence against women and girls.
The independent candidate and magistrate recorded a landslide election victory, defeating her closest rival and favourite Ken Maddock by almost 60,000 votes.
In her acceptance speech, the married mother-of-three from North Somerset promised to fight government cuts and "listen to the quiet voices" before formulating the police force's priorities.
The Justice of the Peace became the second independent candidate to sweep to power in the area following the election of George Ferguson as Bristol's first ever elected mayor a few hours earlier on Friday.

Mrs Mountstevens, 57, who was a director of her family's bakery business for more than 20 years, believed she prospered as an independent candidate as politics had no place in policing.
She said: "No one wanted party politics – they do not mix with policing. That's why independents are winning."
Mrs Mountstevens denied that the low turn-out in the election reduced the legitimacy of her role as police and crime commissioner (PCC) and also pledged to fight Government cuts to police force budgets.
She said: "This is a very serious job and I have to get on with it. I've had an enormous amount of support.
"As long as we have no further government budget cuts, I think we can manage. I will fight strenuously against any further cuts."
Mrs Mountstevens, who also saw off competition from Lib Dem Pete Levy and Labour candidate John Savage as well as Tory Mr Maddock, said she had the experience required for the role, which will replace the now-defunct police authority. She now has the power to set the force's budget and hold the chief constable to account.
The newly-elected PCC pointed to her experience working on the independent monitoring board at Bristol Prison and said that, as an independent, she had the freedom to "deliver great policing" for the area.
She promised to listen carefully to those "who don't normally shout" before forming her strategy for the force.
Mrs Mountstevens, who lives near Pill, said: "You have to listen carefully – to residents, in community centres and in parish halls."
Voters went to the polls to choose Avon and Somerset police's first PCC on Thursday, as electors across the country cast their votes for commissioners in 40 other force areas.
But turnout was low, with just 19.58 per cent of the electorate turning out to polling booths in Avon and Somerset. The best turnout (27.48 per cent) came in Bristol, where voters were also choosing the city's elected mayor. Turnout in North Somerset (16.01 per cent) and Bath and North East Somerset (15.95 per cent) was among the poorest in the force area, while a slightly better turnout of 18.26 per cent was recorded in South Gloucestershire.
After months of canvassing and public debates, the first indication that Mrs Mountstevens would sweep to power as the area's PCC came as results were announced district- by-district at the count at the University of the West of England's Exhibition and Conference Centre.
First to declare were Sedgemoor and Mendip councils, where Mrs Mountstevens opened up a gap of 1,500 votes on her closet rival, Mr Maddock. She was also the most popular candidate in South Gloucestershire, Taunton Deane, North Somerset and most overwhelmingly in Bristol, where she picked up 30,227 votes, almost 20,000 more than her Tory opponent.
Following the count of first-choice votes, leading candidate Mrs Mountstevens went head-to-head with Mr Maddock as no single candidate had secured 50 per cent or more of the vote.
Second-preference votes were counted within two hours and Mrs Mountstevens broke into a broad smile as she was declared the victor by 125,704 votes to 67,842. Mr Savage was third with 49,989 votes, while Mr Levy finished fourth, polling 43,446.
Addressing the conference hall after her victory, Mrs Mountstevens said she was "looking forward to the challenge" of the job and added that she wanted "all our residents to be safe and feel safe".
For many years she was a director of the well-known local family business Mountstevens Bakeries, which opened its first shop in Bristol in 1911 and had more than 90 outlets across the South West, employing around 1,300 people.
She has been a magistrate in Bristol for the past 15 years, serving on adult, youth and family cases, and has also been an independent member of the Avon and Somerset Police Authority. Mrs Mountstevens begins her four-year term on November 22 after she has taken the oath of impartiality. She praised the campaign team that had started from scratch two months ago and delivered a resounding victory.
Mrs Mountstevens said: "We had no team eight or nine weeks ago.
"There was myself and my campaign manager and I roped in family, friends and have been overwhelmed with people who have emailed offering to help.
"There was nothing scientific about our approach – we just thought we had a message to get across."
All three unsuccessful candidates congratulated Mrs Mountstevens on her election triumph.
Mr Maddock, a 68-year-old former leader of Somerset County Council, said: "This job can be so good for all of us, if it's done really well. That's something I passionately believe in. I'm sorry I didn't catch the public's imagination in the way my opponent did. I want to wish the successful candidate the best of luck in this important job."

It's the moment Albuquerque baseball fans have been waiting all winter for: opening day at Isotopes park. From the food to the field, there' s a lot that's new this year.
General Manager John Traub says the new turf of lush, green Kentucky Blue Grass mix is the first new thing you'll notice at the park. It's the first turf change in the stadium's 10 years.
"It's got 120 games a year between professional, college, high school etc. You know about 120 events on our field every year times 10 years - that's a lot of wear and tear," says Traub.
Fans won't be able to miss our favorite mascot, Orbit, who will be larger than life.
"The biggest thing that people are really going to notice is the 30-foot inflatable Orbit bounce house up in our fun zone in right field," says Traub.
Whether fans come to enjoy the game, the nice weather or the food - there is something for everyone.
"I am super excited about the food," says Executive Chef Scot Eastburn.
Among the new food items at the park this year on the concession level are a gluten-free boxed lunch and the dessert nachos.
"It's fresh fried cinnamon tortilla chips with chocolate sauce, a strawberry yogurt dipping sauce and fruit salsa," says Eastburn of the dessert nachos.
"Its a very picky crowd here in Albuquerque," he said. "They have very very good taste so we have to bring them the best."

zlib Remote Buffer Overflow Vulnerability
zlib is a compression library used in many different network services (including SSH), applications, and operating systems. A bounds-checking error was discovered in zlib that could be exploited to cause software to crash or execute arbitrary code.
A remote attacker could exploit a network service to execute code with the privileges of the service. An attacker could also craft a malicious compressed file that, when decompressed by a user, executes code as that user.
Platforms Affected
Several major Linux and BSD distributions have released advisories, but Solaris, Mac OS X, and other Unix-based operating systems are very likely affected.
Windows applications can also use zlib. After the last zlib vulnerability was announced, researchers showed that Microsoft Office, Internet Explorer, DirectX, Messenger, and Front Page all contained zlib code and could be vulnerable.
Local Observations
Numerous systems on our university networks use zlib. We have not yet seen any compromises that we know to have been caused by this vulnerability.
UISO Recommendations
The only known solution is to follow your vendors' instructions to upgrade the zlib library and ensure that any programs and applications are using the upgraded version. Links to several vendor advisories appear below in the Further Reading section. You may have to watch your vendors' web sites or contact them directly to find out how to fix this vulnerability.
None known.

Great suit!
My daughter practices 5 days a week and just loves this suit! It is true to size and she likes that she can change the design in the back. It also has nice coverage for the rear end. The color is great also!
This suit pulls down in the chest and requires constant adjusting. Otherwise a great looking suit and covers more in the bottom compared to the Nike suits.

The weekend after I went to Morocco I stayed in Madrid and did a day trip with my class to El Escorial. This is where the crypt is for all of the past Kings and Queens of Spain. The building on the outside doesn't appear too grand, but it is huge, with four huge court yards with in it, as well as an incredible church.
