Problem Statement: Cassava (manioc or tapioca; Manihot esculenta) is a drought resistant, staple food crop for over 200 million people in sub-saharan Africa. In 1973 a new mealybug species, since described as Phenacoccus manihoti, was found seriously damaging the cassava crop in the Republic of Congo. Initial attempts to control the pest using natural enemies from South America failed. By the early 1980s, the infestation was causing production losses of over 80 per cent throughout tropical sub-Saharan Africa, severely impacting the livelihoods of tens of millions of people.
Methods: Finding natural enemies of a pest requires finding its place of origin. Initial taxonomic work suggested that similar mealybug material had been collected earlier from Brazil, so searches for natural enemies were focused on Central and Northern South America. A natural enemy was identified and introduced to Africa as a biological control agent but failed to have an impact. Further taxonomic work revealed that the mealybug material initially collected in South America had been mis-identified; though similar, it was not the same as the pest species devastating cassava in Africa, P. manihoti. As a result of this mis-identification,an ineffective natural enemy had been introduced as a biological control agent. Once this was recognised, a hymenopteran parasitoid (Anagyrus lopezi) of P. manihoti was located and introduced to Africa.
Outcomes and Impacts: The initial lack of taxonomic knowledge resulted in a misidentification, and misdirected pest eradication efforts resulted in wasted effort and hundreds of millions of dollars in further crop losses. Following further taxonomic studies, A. lopezi proved to be a highly effective biological control agent; by 1990 it had successfully established itself in 25 African countries. P. manihoti, the cassava mealybug (CMB), is now considered to be under control throughout its range in Africa. As a result of this problem, it was recognised that another such introduction could easily occur, and funding was made available for a taxonomic revision of the mealybugs of the Neotropics so that any future introductions could be quickly and accurately identified and, hopefully, controlled. While the total project costs reached over $30 mil (in 1994 $ values), revenues to African farmers (depreciated over 40 years), are estimated at between $8 billion and $20 billion, implying a cost / benefit ratio between 1:200 to over 1:600.
Lessons: The use of natural enemies to control pests is highly cost effective but requires sound taxonomic expertise. Through the project's success on the ground across all of sub-Saharan Africa and the vast training and public awareness effort, it became the starting point for a series of biological control successes involving the same partners, thus contributing to widespread poverty alleviation.

Impacts of Climate Change in Latin America and the Caribbean: 5 Things You Need to Know
On March 31st, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) will release its latest assessment report focusing on current and future climate change impacts. The IPCC brings together climate and scientific experts from around the world and is the internationally recognized body for the scientific assessment of climate change. This latest report is important because it warns that climate change is already affecting every single continent on the planet and our communities are unprepared to face the impacts of our changing climate.
Climate change is more real than ever and here is what you need to know about the impacts in the region based on the latest IPCC report:
1. Changes in water availability due to climate change are leading us to more intense floods and droughts. As a result, our economies and well being are at risk.
Water availability in the region is not just important to meet our basic human needs but we are also highly dependent on it both for agriculture and 60% of our energy production regionally is generated through hydropower.
Increased flooding, such as what we have already seen in the La Plata river basin (Brazil, Paraguay, Argentina, and Uruguay), and reduced river flows and drought, in regions such as Central America and the Central Andes, will contribute to growing challenges for agricultural production.
Andean countries such as Peru and Ecuador will experience increased glacier melt and consequently loss of hydropower generation, which will translate into economic loss of millions and millions of dollars. Time to look at the sun for energy?
We need more of this starting yesterday:

2. Climate change will exacerbate loss of natural habitats, which will leave species facing extinction.
The rich biodiversity and wealth of species in the region face a number of challenges from the expansion of the agricultural frontier and industrialization.
Climate change is compounding this grim reality. Warming temperature and changes in precipitation is driving widespread habitat loss; plants and animals are facing increased risk of extinction as they have no other place to go. We are all concerned about polar bears, but in the region this is about the Amazonian manatee, the Andean cat, the Galapagos penguin, the leatherback turtle and many, many others.
3. Agriculture in the region will be impacted by climate change leading to increased uncertainty in food production and consequently food security.
The impacts of climate change will lead to agricultural expansion in parts of the region and further deforestation in regions like the Amazon. At the same time, it will decrease crop production in other areas due to droughts.
Improved soil conditions due to increased precipitation has allowed for increased yields of maize and soybean in Argentina, Uruguay and Southern Brazil. Yet at the same time, increasing temperatures in tropical regions of Central and South America are having a negative impact on agriculture.
The uncertainty of where crop production will be viable it is a direct threat to food security. For example, coffee production is very sensitive to changes in climate and may be unfeasible in current production areas throughout the region. What will happen to our coffee farmers if we are not prepared to adapt?
4. Sea level rise will affect the over 600 million people living on coastal areas in Latin America and the Caribbean.
Sea level rise will continue to increase the severity of coastal flooding. Larger and stronger waves also threaten coastal cities and infrastructure.
… And, ocean warming and acidification associated with climate change will further decrease marine fisheries.
Some projections indicate that the Mesoamerican coral reef could collapse by 2050 due to ocean acidification. Countries like Belize that rely on marine-based tourism are faced with major economic losses.
Marine fisheries will also continue to decline and affect the livelihoods of coastal communities. This decline is linked to the loss of coral reefs in the Caribbean, as well as the shift of upwelling systems along the coasts of countries like Peru and Colombia. Our ceviche livelihood is at risk.
Caption: Volunteers 350.org in the city of Salvador, Brazil, connected the dots and drew peoples' attention about sea level rise and how it impacts our lives during Climate Impacts Day in 2012.
5. Temperature and precipitation changes due to climate will lead to the emergence of endemic diseases, such as malaria, in new areas.
In Colombia as well as other urban and rural Amazonian areas the number of cases of malaria has increased in the last 5 decades. With a warming climate this and other diseases will also emerge in higher elevation areas as already seen in the Bolivia Andes.
Also, hurricanes and phenomena like El Niño and La Niña may worsen with climate change. These extreme events will also affect the survival and health of thousands of people in the region.
Parts of Brazil are already experiencing unprecedented drought. Climate change will worsen this impacts and affect frontline communities the most:
Time for climate action NOW!
This IPCC report is the clearest call for climate action. Although the increasing impacts of climate change are stark, we must rise to the challenge. We should not only make personal commitments to solving climate change, but also hold our politicians and leaders accountable to real and immediate actions.
Last year 350.org started working with young climate activists around the world to spark a wave of climate action at the national level that is continuing this year.
This year in Latin America we have a great opportunity, the UN climate negotiations will be held in Lima in December. The 350.org movement will be working this year to make sure our governments in the region commit to real action at home. Join us. Let's win this fight together.

Most people in Hollywood haven't stood behind delicate flower Mel Gibson (mostly for fear that he'll whip around and punch them), which makes it even stranger to hear Jodie Foster say she loves Mel Gibson in a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter. "He's so incredibly loving and sensitive, he really is," Foster says of Gibson, who was charged with misdemeanor battery last week. "He is the most loved actor I have ever worked with on a movie. And he's not saintly, and he's got a big mouth, and he'll do gross things your nephew would do. But I knew the minute I met him that I would love him the rest of my life." Gross things our nephew would do? Foster must have some pretty intense relatives if she's comparing Mel to a teenage troublemaker.
Having directed Gibson in the upcoming The Beaver, Foster sees the actor with rose-colored glasses that no one else on the planet has access too. "God, I love that man," Jodie says, growing misty-eyed. "The performance he gave in this movie, I will always be grateful for. He brought a lifetime of pain to the character that we've been talking about for years, that I knew was part of his psyche and who he is. It's part of him that is beautiful and that I want people to know, too. I can't ever regret that." What could be more beautiful and cause someone more pain than being a famous person who assaults his girlfriend and calls Jewish people "oven-dodgers"? Mel's like a sonnet in human form! As if Jodie doesn't already seem totally disconnected from reality, she also likens the drama around Gibson…to the media debacle surrounding the attempted assassination of President Reagan, which was done for Foster's benefit. Look, Jodie, if we all agree to still see your movie despite Gibson's prominent role, would you please stop talking like you've lost your mind. Oh really? Great! We assumed so.

Not very big will have a tough time in the bigs
The fiver year old's uncle more than likely saved the boy's life.
When you constantly need at ;east 4 goals in order to win with a goaltender that is not a ood place to be. IMO, he bombed here last year and having him back is not a great thing
I like it. but have to admit I liked the orange/black colors best
Crunch is not owned by Tampa, therefore other than colors, we don't usually identify because it could all change again in a couple of years
Or minority
Arms, legs, necks, hands, etc. etc. WOW!
Buerkle is doing just what we voters put her there to do. Great job
Crunch has brand recognition for going on two decades. They have already said there would not be a name change. While many may not like the logo, (Ice Gorilla) the Crunch name is unique and I think well thought out. Keep in mind pofessional hockey sports a lot of cartoonn like logos. Albany River Rats, former Manitoba Moose, etc. etc. I personally like logos of the Rangers, Red Wings etc. or better yet I think our best jerseys were the SYRACUSE jerseys
Well guess what? Birth control is legal and pot is not. Really doesn't matter does it? Irresponsible imbeciles exist, and many love the liberal life styles
Terrific congrats to Dustin and the city of Ithaca. Hockey tends to produce "wholesome heroes" unlike most professional sports
I do have to say however, that my neighbor tends to burn a lot of green wood and I don't have central air, filling my house with smoky air. I don't complain because I want to remain friendly, but I'm sure it's not healthy for my family or me
Unless they are used to re-heat my "snack of the day". Yep my good old snack, yes sir my snack needs warming, oh yes my snack of the day, I love my snack of the day "We out of time yet?
One thing for certain tn the AHL is the uncertainty. You will be gaining a much different Anaheim owned club than we had. This team really started to show promise in the last quarter of the season. The only caviat is that Irro Tarkki was probably the single most important cog in the wheel. There was no other goalie that Anaheim owned that could qualify as an AHL contender. Unfortunately Tarkki is now gone and unless Anaheim signs a winner somewhere, it may be a another dismal year for this team. Yawney is a good coach that should have been brought in two years ago, hopefully he will follow the team to Norfolk

This is pure BS. This is why we need more people in office like Scott Walker. Why everyone (including teachers) are making personal sacrifices in this tough economy it is irresponsible for these administrators to be given raises. The Superintendent did nothing more than dance around the question when asked to provide specifics. There should be a call to have her removed from office. I am sorry but I am sure there are plenty of qualified people that would eagerly accept the positions in question at the current or even reduced rates.
Because he is a hypocritical, arrogant, obnoxious, phony not unlike most of the other Hollywood types. They talk about "green" and recycling and environment etc. yet use more energy in a month to heat their pools, fly in jets and fuel their limos than ypu will in a year. A blowhard that had no concern for other's safety when he refused to shut down his game while on a plane.
He actually solved his own problem. Leave the minimum alone and it will seek its own level, as it has with his busines. In the meantime don't handicap the business owner that hires a couple of kids to help out a few hours a week, they are not there to support a wife and kids.
Really? This is news worth reporting? How petty can you be? We could publish volumes of PS blunders every week. Perhaps we all should get together and start identifying all the PS errors. It wasn't like Romney himself developed the app. Good grief talk about liberal press reporting, what a joke.
Amen to that!

I was raised in a household of atheists. My parents were card-carrying members of the American Communist Party, and therefore the atheism in my household was quite close to the militant anti-theism of the so-called "new atheists".

I was raised in a household of atheists. My parents were card-carrying members of the American Communist Party, and therefore the atheism in my household was quite close to the militant anti-theism of the so-called "new atheists".
Over the next few months, with permission from Yale University Press, BioLogos will offer edited versions of chapters from John Polkinghorne's best books, Belief in God in an Age of Science and Theology in the Context of Science, in order to help readers delve more deeply into some of his most important ideas.
A deep love for scripture, coupled (ironically) with a lifelong struggle with religious doubt, led Robert Boyle to write several important books relating scientific and religious knowledge. We explore aspects of this fascinating interaction.
Not only are evolution and biblical faith compatible, but committed Christians have been at the forefront of evolutionary science ever since Darwin published On the Origin of Species in 1859. This series looks at David Lack, an ornithologist and devout Christian who contributed greatly to the understanding of Darwin's finches.
A forceful and accessible discussion of Christian belief that has become one of the most popular introductions to Christianity and one of the most popular of Lewis's books. -Amazon
In this series, Kathryn Applegate addresses the concern that randomness implies the absence of God's activity and involvement in the natural world. She begins by clearing up some common misconceptions about the concept of "randomness", and later focuses on the mechanisms of the immune system to demonstrate that God works through random processes to preserve life. Far from being an indication of a "godless" universe, one might conclude that randomness is one of God's favorite mechanisms for creating and sustaining life!
People hold clearly discordant points of view, and it would be dishonest to ignore the conflict. Yet some voices emphasize the dissonance without any note of harmony to put it in context. Too often, science and faith becomes a hostile battle of worldviews, sounding angry, dissonant chords even among fellow Christians. But civil, gracious dialogue is possible.
Once we have a scientific hypothesis for how something exists, it is tempting to make the philosophical inference that this is also why it exists.
In this three-part series, Cal DeWitt offers insights and examples of why science and ethics must work together to help us make informed, practical decisions within our society. DeWitt's science-ethics-praxis model provides a framework by which we can live more effectively as God's stewards.
In this series, David Buller pays careful attention to the original language and cultural context of Genesis 2, revealing that our responsibility to care for creation is a sacred task given to us by God, not merely a modern secular activity. By taking Scripture seriously, we learn that we have a God-given mandate to be diligent stewards of His creation.
In this series, U.S. Navy Commander Mike Beidler shares his own personal journey from accepting young-earth creationism to embracing evolutionary creationism.
In this three-part series from Pruim's chapter in the book Delight in Creation: Scientists Share Their Work with the Church, mathematician Randall Pruim explains what scientists and mathematicians mean when they speak of something being "random". He also addresses God's use of apparent randomness in creation as a part of his sovereign rule.
I found myself in a very awkward situation. On the one hand I was a follower of Jesus Christ who loved the Bible, knew that it was God's Word, and, therefore, not full of lies. However, I also was someone who had loved science for many years and was planning on pursuing a career in research...
In this series, Bob Jones University graduate David Buller recounts his spiritual and intellectual journey in which he came to a deeper understanding of the metaphorical nature of the Genesis creation account and no longer views evolution as contradictory to God's Word. It is the story of a courageous and truth-seeking heart.
In this video, physicist Ard Louis describes that our value and purpose do not come from whether or not we were created by an evolutionary mechanism. Evolution may tell us something about how we were created, but it is not the source of our worth.
With his standard panache, the late Harvard paleontologist Stephen J. Gould argued strenuously that evolution had no inherent directionality. We are mere accidents; a "tiny twig on an improbable branch of a contingent limb on a fortunate tree".
In this series, Dennis Venema describes his personal journey that took him away from the Intelligent Design arguments toward the evolutionary creation worldview. Through careful and honest research, he discovered ID scientific reasoning to be analogy-based, in sharp contrast to evolutionary science, which was supported by concrete data. After accepting this view, God's presence ever strengthened him as he explored the compatibility between the Bible and God's creative mechanism.
I want to lay out some of the key myths and indicate how Coyne's discussion can help Christians get a more accurate understanding of evolution.
As a child, I started reading the Bible as soon as I could and I made my decision for Jesus wholeheartedly at the age of nine. Nurtured in an "all Christian environment," I knew little else. But certain questions tended to nag at me.
Scientists become fairly comfortable with a certain level of uncertainty within scientific data, notes Kathryn Applegate, but that is not the case for most people, especially where faith is concerned

The story I hear is that the same doctor in OKC that gave TC the thumbs down on the toe, is the same doctor that operated on the toe 2 years ago when the Hornets were in OKC. What gives?

Yo gardengate, don't look now, but I think your favorite female governor, ex-vice presidential candidate just got busted for some past tax payments herself.
Look folks, Jindal is messing up, plain and simple. It's bad enough he's letting himself be used to slam the stimulus plan, now he's going to bite the hand that feeds him and us, and lets face it folks, the state may be red but the money is green. Even after Nagin leave office, which will be soon folks (don't forget), we will still need help partly because of Nagin's ineptness.
You have to excuse some of us, McCain..you see, we just went through a painful experience down here called Katrina. And some of us found out a few things about those 'good hands' Allstate talks about. That being said, the SEC is the best conference in college football hands down. Right this minute Ole Miss is destroying Texas Tech in that Cotton Bown, and tonight Alabama is going make Utah wonder what they have gotten themselves into by halftime. S. Carolina shows up to a bowl game with the 97th ranked offense in the NCAA. No wonder they got beat. Even Vanderbilt won their bowl match-up for crying out loud. As long as the winner or runner up to an SEC title game plays in the Sugar, the BCS will have a presence here and if the BCS is here, a big time sponser will always show up.
Too bad we couldn't have a Texas-Alabama match up. Saban suspended that tackle and it won't matter one bit. This game will be over before halftime.
Call me crazy, but who's to say that Sean Payton, because of the way this season has turned out, hasn't seen the light. We saw the saints draft Tracy Porter, who turned out to be pretty good before his injury. And they got Vilma, who also looked pretty good in the middle. Both moves proved he at least is aware of our needs and deficiencies and showed a good faith effort in righting some wrongs. OK., on offense, Billy Miller proved his worth at tight end, which means someone else did not. Another power back like Deuce should be just the ticket. To fix what's wrong with this team, won't take a major overhaul. We lost at least four games in almost the exact same way. 2009 should be critical to Payton's future here.
You know xman20002000, I noticed the same thing. We let Simmons, J.R. and Bass go way too soon, especially when you look at who we replaced them with. We could have run the Spurs raggett last year with J.R. and Bass. Hornets had trouble with Bass in the playoffs last year. I know Ju Ju would have done a nice job on the defensive end covering Kobe. He's done it before.
dninc, what are you, some kind of moron? We talk sports here, fool!
Damnn & Folkwire, I think you just summed up the whole problem. This article explains how they handled D West, but I don't know why Rasual, Mo Pete, Ju Ju, etc. couldn't fill the void, unless they just aren't that good enough when they need to be. I don't even think Peja would have made a difference.
For all of it's problems and trials, New Orleans is New Orleans and if Rivertown is trying to compete with New Orleans, that will always be an uphill battle. If they moved the Saints museum back to Rivertown, that would help, especially if they make another playoff run next year.
OK, there is waste. Tell us something we DON'T know, like, what's going to be done about it? When will see the savings to the city? Will we see a savings to the city? Show us the money!
My favorite artist is the person who fries those hog cracklins and the soft-shell crab po-boy maker!! Booyow!
My favorite artist is the person who fries those hog cracklins and the soft-shell crab po-boy maker!! Booyow!
Great point saintsfan25j. If he's worth a high draft pick someplace else, evidently, he's still worth a lot here. The real bust on this team on offense is Shockley, pure and simple. A blind man could see it in a minute. Dmlyons25 has also made a very valid point. Running backs get hurt. Brandon Jacobs, Marion Barber, and he's right, the Broncos are using parking lot vallets for running backs. The problem is we should have had a replacement or two for Deuce years ago and we didn't.
Anybody who thinks we should trade Bush is either a nut case or has never ever played one down of football in their entire life! I can easily think of six games this season and going back to last season, that Bush could have or would have gotten credit for winning had it not been for horrible play by the defense at the worse possible times. And I haven't even mentioned the games lost because of horrible play calling. Bush is like a tiger, you may not want to keep him, but sure as heck better not let him go! Some of you folks should have to have the job of trying to game plan against Bush.
Hornets still take too many outside shots. When they fall, they blow teams away, when they don't, like against Boston, they get beat. Attack, attack, attack! We should beat the better teams too when we attack the rim.
Folks complaining about ZULU giving money for Jefferson's defense are barking up the wrong tree. ZULU is a 'private' organization. Most folks in ZULU probably hand out more in tips than most folks on here,( myself included)pay in taxes. If they want to throw money at Jefferson's defense, it's their right. It's a free country. He won't be free for long, but the country is.
Wispa hints at the bottom line, it's not the taxes (money), it's the services. Don't worry folks, the city counsel will bring back some common sense in the process. One word; OVERIDE

Courtney Flynn spends a lot of her time in a bright, bustling office suite that looks like something out of the Fortune 500, shining with floor-to-ceiling frosted glass, conference rooms and bright contemporary furniture.
She doesn't work here. She's what she calls a "serial visitor," popping in to get advice she hopes will help her land a good job someday, someplace else.
This high-tech place in which Flynn finds herself so often is the Office of Career and Professional Development at Wake Forest University, where she's a junior majoring in classical studies and German. The career center has moved upstairs from the basement of a building in the center of the campus into a new 7,000-square-foot space, and its staff has grown from seven to 30 with the help of $8.5 million raised from parents and alumni.
This rocket-fueled approach to what was previously called career counseling is a response to demands from students and parents that increasingly pricey universities do more to help graduates find jobs than run occasional career fairs and pass out brochures.

The occasion was to record a few comments for Rolling Stone Magazine's twentieth anniversary special, which Leo was producing and directing for ABC Television. It turned into so much more.
For more than two hours Jerry responded to Leo's questions from the bottom of his heart. At the height of his success and in the midst of his happiest days, Jerry Garcia opened his mind and revealed his soul. Captured on 16mm film by Russell Carpenter, the Academy Award © winning cinematographer of Titanic, the footage has remained in Leo's vault untouched for all these years. The interview presents Garcia discussing his life, music, family and friends. He is brilliant, charming, joyful and free. It's Jerry Garcia as you have never seen him before.

Sudoku Improvements
31 Oct 2011, 17:15
Arnd R.Strube (88 posts)
Hi all,
I was wondering who else has undertaken to make improvements to the original Sudoku game, and what they were. So far, what I have done, is this:
Another thing I was thinking of adding was a "Sudoku Generator" of sorts, that is, the capibility to generate new games on each level.
Anyone who would like to discuss these improvements & ways to implement them would be appreciated. For example, I use an additional array called "locked", that I fill with the original puzzle string. Later in the game, I just have a method isTileLocked(x,y) return true if the corresponding value is non-zero. This is of course saved like the puzzle array.

I haven't looked at it for months now, because I didn't have much of a chance to work with Android since 2011. I just discovered Sudoku isn't even installed on my phone anymore.
If you are patient, I'll see what I can do. I can't even remember exactly what improvements I made, but I did like the result ;-).
P.S. Could you kindly remove your other post in TDD for Embedded C. Although it did help to catch my attention, it's rather confusing in the other thread. Thanks.

Slight chance for hail today
By Ana Ley : February 6, 2013 : Updated: February 6, 2013 7:26am
There is a slight chance the Alamo City could see hail today, forecasters said, but don't count on it.
"It's not that big of a chance," said Bob Fogarty with the National Weather Service. "We're thinking it's mostly going to be some rain."
Light rain fell over the city overnight and more is expected as temperatures rise today. San Antonio International Airport reported .01 of an inch of rain overnight, while Stinson Municipal Airport reported .04 of an inch.
There is a 50 percent chance for rain throughout the city all day, and there is a good chance showers could develop into thunderstorms. Skies will be mostly cloudy, and temperatures will peak around 70 degrees.
Forecasters say the city will likely get rain once again Saturday night.

Students Power Toward the Future
MSU power engineering students take time
to visit with IEEE PES President Wanda Reder,
President-Elect Al Rotz and Executive Director
Pat Ryan after the Student-GOLD luncheon.
Twenty-eight MSU Electrical & Computer Engineering students spent two days in the windy city rubbing elbows with 13,000 other power engineers. The students and several faculty members attended the IEEE Power & Energy Society (new name for Power Engineering Society) Transmission and Distribution Exposition and Conference in Chicago April 21-23. Twenty-three graduate students presented technical posters.
The trip via bus was made possible through the financial support of TVA, the Electric Power Associations of Mississippi, Southern Company and the South Mississippi Electric Power Association. All the students participated in the conference plenary, Student-GOLD luncheon and walked the exhibit floor talking with many of the 600 companies showing their wares and discussing careers in power engineering.

To embed, copy and paste the code into your website or blog:
In Doug C. v. State of Hawaii Department of Education, the IEP team had placed a student with autism in a private day school for the past 6 years. With the annual review deadline approaching and the parent making scheduling difficult, the district went ahead with the student's IEP meeting and changed the student's placement without the parent's participation. The Ninth Circuit found a denial of FAPE.
The school initially scheduled the IEP meeting for October 28. But when the coordinator called the parent to confirm on October 22, the parent indicated that he thought the meeting was tentatively going to be at the end of October, but that no date was set. The parent was not available on October 28. The parent and coordinator then tentatively set November 4 or 5 for the IEP meeting. But the parent called back the next day to say that neither date would work. They instead confirmed the meeting for November 9. On the morning of the meeting, the parent called to cancel because he was sick. The school offered for the parent to participate by phone or video conference, but he did not feel well enough to do so. The school offered to reschedule for November 10 or 11, but the parent could not commit due to his health. Some school members of the IEP team were not available on November 12, and the IEP was due on November 13, a Saturday.
The school went ahead with the IEP meeting without the parent on November 9. Also missing from the meeting were any representatives from the student's private school. Despite the lack of attendance by anyone who knew or worked with the student, the team changed the student's placement to the public high school. The team reconvened with the parent on December 7 to review the changes made to the IEP.
The court found that the IDEA requires parental participation unless the district is "unable to convince the parents that they should attend." In this case, the parent certainly wanted to attend, so scheduling difficulties did not excuse the district from complying with this important procedural requirement. Holding a later meeting with the parent did not cure the initial violation as the decisions had already been made without the parent.
Further, the approach of the annual review deadline did not allow the district to proceed without the parent. When faced with two seemingly conflicting procedural obligations, the court instructed that a district should consider which is more likely to cause a denial of FAPE. "[P]rocedural inadequacies that result in the loss of educational opportunity or seriously infringe on the parents' opportunity to participate in the IEP formulation process, clearly result in the denial of FAPE." According to the court, holding an IEP meeting a few days after the annual review date while continuing to provide the student the services from the last IEP would not result in a denial of FAPE. Conversely, holding a meeting without the parent would deprive the parent of his or her right to participate in the IEP process.
The court also found that changing the student's placement without the input of the parent or private school caused a loss of educational opportunity to the student. The parent was not required to prove that the IEP team would have reached a different conclusion if the required team members had been present. That the team would have further considered keeping the student at the private school had the parent and private school representatives been present was sufficient.
The Ninth Circuit remanded the case for the district court to determine whether the parent was entitled to reimbursement for the continued private placement, noting that based on the denial of FAPE and that the private school had previously been found appropriate by the IEP team, reimbursement was likely proper.
This case serves a reminder of the importance of parental participation in IEP meetings; indeed this procedural requirement can trump other procedural requirements. Even where parents are difficult to schedule with, the district has an obligation to include the parent unless the district has documented that it cannot convince the parent to attend.

Winner James Jones Literary Society Award for Best First Novel
"An extraordinarily impressive newcomer surveys the emotional riptide of obsession and its release in art...an intriguingly subtle treatise on sex and death and the shadow companion of love. First timer Schwartz is a talent to watch."
—Kirkus Review (Starred)
"In a final violent act...we are reminded of the destructive forces of love, familial and romantic that drive even the sanest to the edge of madness. It is a testament to Schwartz's gifts as a writer that the novel transcends clichés of violence and ultimately becomes a tale of survival, even in the most harrowing of circumstances."
—Washington Post
"[Schwartz] gets the overheated atmosphere of the fringe art world just right in this erotic story of a grieving woman steering a dangerous course between sex and love, pain and pleasure, victimhood and survival."
—Los Angeles Times
"Leslie Schwartz's novel, Jumping the Green is a provocative debut...told with a heat-hazed elegance and subtle control."
"This harshly beautiful novel of sister-love and sick sex is a must-read."
"A superbly written debut."
—Time Out

Chocolate, Cantaloupe and Cranberry Smoothie
So I'm all for mixing up ingredients I find on hand to create some fun concoction. Today: a smoothie.
Maybe it was inspired by some chocolate me and my friend found last night while walking down the candy aisle in London drugs. It was apricot, chocolate and cashews. My friend thought it was the weirdest combination ever because there seemed to be too much going on there.
I didn't think that to be a weird combination at all. Actually, I thought it sounded pretty tasty!
So I planned to top it. I think that this is such a strange combination, but I've got to say.. I actually liked it.
Okay, maybe that's not saying much. The other day, I went to White Spot and ordered a blueberry milkshake. Sounds really good, right? Well, it tasted like onions. But, since I spent like $4 on this drink, I was determined to drink it all. And halfway through, I got used to it, and actually started liking it! It started tasting more like blueberries as the glass emptied. Come to think of it, it seemed like that gum in Willy Wonka. A meal in a glass. At least I didn't inflate like a balloon.
What you'll need:
-1/3 cup frozen cranberries
-1 cup fresh cantaloupe
-2 tablespoons chocolate syrup
-1/2 cup yogurt
1. Combine all ingredients in a blender, and puree until smooth

Cranberries and cantaloupes is indeed an interesting combination, but tart and sweet plus some chocolate and yogurt can't go wrong, right? I like it... would never think of putting these together myself! P.S. I get like that too, I order something I am not very happy with but because I know I spent money on it, gotta eat it and fool myself into thinking that I like it. LOL!ReplyDelete

Guide to Pinot Grigio & Pinot Gris
Currently the most popular white wine produced in Italy, Pinot Grigio [Pee-noh GREE-gee-oh] is mostly grown in the northeastern regions of Italy. It thrives in Valdadige and Veneto, where these crisp, dry and refreshing white wines gain more body and substance. Most Pinot Grigio is dry with fruit flavors of pear and apple with hints of lemon and mineral. They range from light to medium body and should be consumed when they are fresh and young. Pinot Grigio is the same grape as Pinot Gris, which is grown in a medium-bodied style in Alsace, California and Oregon. Our Pinot Grigio/ Pinot Gris [Pee-noh GREE] wines are set in three separate locations in our store: Italy Pinot Grigio labeled wines are in the Italy white section, California and Oregon Pinot Grigio wines are in the Other White area, and Alsace Pinot Gris are in the Alsace section.
- Perfumed Pear, Apple, Lemon, Mineral
- Pear, Apple, Lemon, Mineral
- Light Bodied – Light and crisp with ample fruit flavors
- Medium-Bodied – Crisp with more complex fruit flavors
- Light – Shellfish, Quiche, Light food
- Medium - Chicken, White meat, pâté
- Italy – Veneto, Valdadige, Collio (Pinot Grigio)
- France – Alsace (Pinot Gris)
- Oregon – Willamette Valley (Pinot Gris)
- California - Arroyo Seco (Pinot Gris & Grigio)
It is important to understand that although Pinot Grigio and Pinot Gris are the same grape, they are capable of producing a variety of white wines in a number of different winegrowing areas. The lesser expensive Pinot Grigio produced throughout Italy is a nice, crisp and dry wine with a neutral flavor. As the price increases with Italian Pinot Grigio, so does the body and flavors of the wines. At their best, they contain wonderfully crisp acidity, complemented by loads of citrus fruit flavors. Impressive hints of mineral add dimension to the refreshing long finish. The best Pinot Grigio is produced in the northern area of Italy, benefiting from the cooler climate.
The Pinot Gris of Alsace and Oregon are wonderfully crisp as well, but are fuller bodied and more aromatic. Along with an abundance of citrus fruit, Pinot Gris offers additional complex flavors of tree fruits and even hints of almond. This is mostly to do with the soil and climate in which they are grown.

So there are probably plenty of people that want to switch, but there's no way to do so without completely rerolling. Yet, anyway. Here's the best idea I've heard on the subject so far: create a quest that would let players change factions.
Yes, I know, there's lots of reasons for Blizzard not to do it (not least of which is the whole interfaction communication thing). But consider it seriously-- it would be a once-in-a-lifetime quest that would have serious costs (so no nightly switching back and forth), and take a long, long (maybe even a series of daily quests) time to get done. This isn't some frivolous thing-- it's a serious decision, a second chance to reconsider a faction choice you might have made 70 levels ago. Right now, you only get once chance to choose a faction, and it's before you even know your character. Surely you should get one chance to reconsider, right?
And originally I was thinking that a faction change would be a "Horde in Durnholde" kind of thing-- if you're an Orc, then you suddenly become Human forever. But Blizzard could even work it so that you could stay the same race, and just switch sides. Imagine it-- Gnome and Undead Rogues alongside each other, dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria! Although it would get confusing in the battlegrounds, wouldn't it?

Computer intelligence surpassing humans in 30 years? 2008 Jun 12Posted by Karl in : technology , trackback
The IEEE Spectrum magazine has an entire issue devoted to evaluating the likelihood of a technological singularity within the next 30 years.
First, what is the technological singularity? Some people, such as Ray Kurzweil and Verner Vinge project that technology will advance to a point where computers will surpass human intelligence. This will create an acceleration of technology because computers will redesign better and better versions of themselves. Not long after this, technological intelligence will far surpass human intelligence. This is called a singularity because it becomes impossible for our human intelligence to see the outcome of such a technology.
The IEEE Spectrum is an interesting place to read about the singularity because the IEEE is run by engineers, the people closest to the technology that could make the singularity happen.
The articles in the Spectrum range from skepticism to expectation of the singularity. The magazine polls a number of technological thinkers that have a broad range of opinion. Most think that Moore's law (the doubling of computer power every two years) will stop in the next 10 to 30 years. Most think that the technological singularity will or could possibly occur, but most think that it won't happen within the next 30 years. Opinions range from 30 years to 70 years to distant future to never. Ironically, Gordon Moore, the author of Moore's law believes that the singularity will never happen.
Personally, I found Rodney Brooks' article the most interesting. One of his observations is that computer intelligence probably won't surpass human intelligence because we will be upgrading our own intelligence at the same time. For example, I want a brain implant that includes a face and name database of every person I've met.
- 1. RooK - 2008 Jun 14
The main problem with defining intelligence on a linear scale, by which people consider the possibility of machines surpassing humans, is that it misses almost all of the interesting nuances. The most common measure of human intelligence is IQ, and large portions of that are memory function and timed ability measures, both of which computers already surpass humans massively.
No, I think the way many people conceptualize a possible singularity is assuming a priori, and incorrectly, that intelligence necessarily equates to conceptions of self. And, well, I doubt it does. That means that computer conceptions of self would have to be intentionally developed by humans – but why would they?
I'm not saying that it's impossible – quite the contrary. It's just that I don't see much immediate value in computers with fledgling understandings of self, and thence have doubts about such self-awareness progressing to anything like a singularity in the manner that anyone seems to prognosticate.

By Linda D. KozarynAmerican Forces Press Service
PRETORIA, Republic of South Africa, Feb. 18, 2000 Once there is a peace agreement in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the United States is willing to provide logistics support for a U.N. peace mission, but it has no plans to contribute ground forces.
"We are stretched very thin at this particular time," Defense Secretary William S. Cohen said at a Feb. 16 joint press conference with host South African leaders. The secretary was referring to U.S. troops deployed to Bosnia, Kosovo, the Persian Gulf, East Timor, and other U.S. troop commitments in Europe and Asia.
Cohen said he expects the U.N. Security Council within a week will authorize deployment of a 500-strong cease-fire observer group and 5,000 support troops to the republic, formerly known as Zaire. The U.N.-led Lusaka peace process calls for a three-phase mission.
Phase 1 calls for the United States to contribute $40 million, one-quarter of the cost of the first six months of the mission. Phase 2 involves deploying the 500 observers and 5,000 international troops. Phase 3 involves deploying a 15,000-strong peacekeeping force.
Once there is a "genuine peace agreement," Cohen said, the United States would provide support in the form of logistics, communications, intelligence and other support activities similar to those provided to the U.N. peacekeeping operation in East Timor.
Visiting South Africa to build military cooperation, Cohen met with South African President Thabo Mbeki, Defense Minister Patrick Lekota and former President Nelson Mandela. Cohen said his meetings centered on peacekeeping training, future joint combined exchange training exercises and other common concerns. He also discussed with the South African leaders the goal of transforming its military into a smaller, more modern force.
"The United States has been in the process of a similar transformation for some time," Cohen told reporters. "A U.S. team will be in South Africa next week to discuss some of the lessons that we learned and ways that we might be able to help South Africa make this very difficult transition."
The secretary announced at the press conference that the United States would send water purification equipment and teams to eastern South Africa to provide safe drinking water to victims of recent disastrous floods. He also offered to send a team of experts in health education and training to help South African defense forces address the problem of AIDS.

Fancy a crack at Gloucester's Golden Egg in King's Square?
Posted: January 07, 2014|
THE Golden Egg's date with destiny is nearly upon us as demolition teams polish their sledgehammers and prepare to go to war on Gloucester's public enemy number one.
Only the most devout fans of cheap 1960s architecture would argue against the King's Square building being anything other than a hideous eyesore – and now is your chance to help put it out of its misery.
The first lumps will be smacked out of the one-time restaurant later this month and two city residents will have the opportunity to take the first swings.
The Citizen has teamed up with Gloucester City Council to find one adult and one child to help the authority's leader Councillor Paul James batter the first nails into its coffin.

Bold, bright future for Gloucester, city and retail leaders say
But we need a good reason to pick the lucky duo. That's why we want everyone interested to write, in 100 words or fewer, why it should be them.
Perhaps you walk past it every day and have simply had enough. Perhaps you believe it heralds the dawning of a bright new era for Gloucester. Perhaps you have a personal association with the Golden Egg and want to be involved for nostalgia's sake.
For the younger entrants, maybe a career in demolition looks interesting and you fancy a bit of work experience?
There are sure to be plenty of people keen to help, so the winning arguments will need to be convincing.
Contractors will start preliminary work on the building on Monday and the real demolition job is due to start a week later.
The deadline for entries is 3pm on Thursday, January 16. Email your entry to citizen. email@example.com with 'Golden Egg competition' in the subject line.
Mr James said: "The demolition of the Golden Egg is something people in the city have been looking forward to for a long time, so we should savour the moment.
"I've had lots of people say to me that they would like to play a part in getting rid of this eyesore, so it's right that we give everyone who is interested the opportunity to make their case.
"Seeing the back of the Golden Egg will, together with the other improvements we are planning, help to improve the King's Square area.
"Just as importantly, it will demonstrate real progress towards the wider King's Quarter scheme and it will boost confidence in the city by showing that problems which at times have seemed intractable can be cracked.
"I'm looking forward to seeing these works get under way and to sharing the occasion with others."
Butcher Andy Patterson is one of the market traders who have operated in the Golden Egg's shadow for generations.
He said: "It's been a bit of an eyesore for some time now, as everyone's fully aware, so it will be good to see it go finally.
"The area needs tidying up, the council did a really good job with getting rid of the old toilets in King's Square and this is one of the final pieces in the jigsaw now.
"My company's been trading there for 17 years, you get a lot of the old regulars telling you they remember going there for breakfast but everyone wants it gone now."
We are also asking people for their thoughts on what they want to see in the Golden Egg's place, as well as trying to track down any old photos of it in its heyday.
If you have any pictures, drop them into the Citizen's offices in The Oxebode or send an email to citizen.news@ glosmedia.co.uk.

Donald Trump: Pro-life so women don't have to be
CBN political reporter David Brody has scored an interview with presidential-y candidate Donald Trump on his evolving views on abortion. Brody on why Trump switched from a pro-choice position to a pro-life one: "He says one of the main reasons was because one of his close personal friends chose to keep his child rather than have an abortion." Chose . . . his . . . what happened?
Trump lays it down: "A friend of mine, his wife was pregnant, in this case married, and she was pregnant, and he was going to—they were going to—he didn't really want the baby. And he was telling me the story, he was crying as he was telling me. They ended up for some reason—amazingly, through luck, because they didn't have the right timing—he ends up having the baby. And the baby is the apple of his eye. He says it's the greatest thing that ever happened to him . . . And I am pro-life."
To the best of my understanding: Donald Trump's friend is set on forcing his wife to have an abortion, but waits too long in the pregnancy to seal the deal. Undeterred, he claims full responsibility for physically birthing the child, declares it the central experience of his existence, and compels a minor presidential candidate to support stripping every woman of her right to make her own reproductive health choices in every context.
Apparently a cursory understanding of how babies are incubated and expelled from the human body at great personal effort and physical risk is not a prerequisite for assuming a position on abortion rights. Social conservatives, while intrigued, remain skeptical of Trump's gambling fortune.

Harry has been an excellent public servant. Having had the opportunity to work with him on several occasions over the years, I can attest that he is indeed "old school"; a good thing. A gentleman and a gentle man, he will be missed.
Happy trails, Harry.
I'm interested to see who they tap as legal counsel. Hopefully, they will think outside of the box and retain an attorney who is an effective political outsider; a lawyer who doesn't have political conflicts of interest. Their choice of counsel will be indicative of their resolve.
Good luck, Anthony!
Well done!
STM is dear to me and I am gratified that the board hired a talented leader who can appreciate the gestalt of the St. Martin's community. I am a second generation graduate (both parents) and look forward to sending the third generation to high school there in the near future. The board's decision to tap Merry Sorrels solidifies our intention to send our daughter to STM.
Very well done, indeed!
The turtles didn't die from oxygen depletion in the water. No, indeed. I'm not buying that story, boys and girls. That whole "oxygen depletion" line is as lifeless as the Pearl was rendered. Dead in the water. What killed those turtles anyway? Somebody knows, but they ain't talkin'.
Must have been a mighty strong toxic soup to waste so many lives so quickly. Mean, nasty poison....Is it still on the river banks and in the neighborhoods?
That mill turned Bogalusa into a toilet long ago. Neither the mill nor the residents living near it's discharge pipes, pressure release valves (fore!),land fills, and toxic waste storage ponds (virtually the whole town) can admit what was released because it would undermine property values and turn the "Magic City" into a ghost town even sooner rather than later, as is inevitable. Who would want to live in a toxic waste dump? Yet, it's all about the money, right?
I sure wouldn't want my kids or yours (or theirs) anywhere near what killed all those turtles....
"Oxygen depletion"; give me a break.
Come back to me when you have a more clever cover up. I don't expect the truth, but I do expect better than that lame fantasy.
I understand that a private attorney has already volunteered his services to help this man.

Trailing the White Sox 5-3 going into the ninth, the Royals were 18% to win according to FanGraphs win expectancy. It fell as low as 9% when Alcides Escobar flied out to center with runners on first and second for the second out. Butler, though, doubled to right-center, plating his team's fourth and fifth runs to tie the game.

2008 Annual Report
1)resistance. Young leaves from each F2 plant were collected by the cooperator and were sent to USDA, ARS, U. S. Vegetable Laboratory (USVL), Charleston, SC. The leaf samples were kept by USVL scientists in a -80C freezer and DNA was isolated from each F2 sample. ARS tested over 1,100 Randomly Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) primers for polymorphism between the fusarim wilt resistant versus the susceptible parent and about 105 primers produced polymorphic markers. The ARS scientists tested the polymorphic markers with the F2 DNA samples using a procedure termed 'bulk segeregant analysis'. However, none of the polymorphic markers tested showed linkage with the gene locus conferring fusarium wilt-resistance. At this time, Sequence-Related Amplified Polymorphism (SRAP) and Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism (AFLP) markers are being tested by ARS for polymorphism between the Fusarium Wilt resistant and susceptible parents. The ARS scientists and the cooperators have been communicating frequently via telephone calls and emails, and met at the Cucurbitaecae 2008 conference in Avignon, France, to discuss the project progress and strategies.

PS4 confirmed to ship with easily replaceable 2.5-inch hard drive October 18, 2013 at 4:26 pm
Early on, Sony made it clear that users would have physical access to the 500GB hard drive in the PS4, but the exact details surrounding the process were slim. Now, we have a hands-on confirmation that anyone with the will and a screwdriver can replace the drive inside of Sony's next console. Too bad a 500GB SSD will cost just about as much as the PS4 itself.
Is Belkin's Thunderbolt Express Dock enough to compete with the USB juggernaut? April 30, 2013 at 4:04 pm
Thunderbolt has been around for two years now, and it still has yet to gain much momentum. Available devices are still rare and expensive, while most PCs don't even ship with support. Thunderbolt enthusiasts aren't giving up, though. With an upcoming speed increase to the spec and some exciting peripherals launching, it's clear that Intel isn't content with Thunderbolt as a niche interface.

Keith Gilabert, "What You Should Know about the Small Business Care Tax Credit for 2014"
by keithgilabert, Window Shopper
- Created: February 8, 2014, 10:02 am
For tax years 2010-2013 there is max credit of 35% of premiums paid and 25% for tax-exempt employees. For 2014 that credit increases to 50% of premiums and 35% premiums paid for tax-exempt employees. Even if you did not owe tax during the year, you can carry the credit back or forward to other tax years. Also, eligible small businesses can still claim a business expense deduction for the premiums in excess of the credit. That's both a credit and a deduction for employee premium payments. Please consult your accountant about taking any expense deductions. If you have any comments please share. Take care, Keith

Keeneland revamps format for September yearling sale
Keeneland sales officials have announced a redesign of the format for the 2013 September yearling sale, which will be held Sept. 9-20.
"We continually adapt the September Sale format to meet the current needs of our consignors and buyers, and these changes reflect the 'market of the moment,'" Keeneland vice president of sales Walt Robertson said. "This is a two-week sale that essentially spans three distinct markets. Our goal is to facilitate the process so we can engage buyers from beginning to end."
Under the new format, the premier Book 1 catalog will span the entire four-day opening week, from Sept. 9-12. Approximately 950 yearlings will be cataloged alphabetically by dam, with sessions beginning at 12 p.m. Eastern daily.
Following the traditional "dark day" on Friday, Sept. 13, the sale continues with the Book 2 sessions on Sept. 14 and 15, with sessions beginning at 10 a.m.
The sale concludes with Books 3-6 from Sept. 16-20, with sessions beginning at 10 a.m.
"This schedule creates efficiencies, and better fits the demands of our buyers and sellers," Keeneland director of sales Geoffrey Russell said. "The 2012 September Sale was extraordinary in the sheer number of people who attended and the exceptionally high volume of trade they generated, particularly into the sale's final days. The strength of that second week was unlike anything we've recently experienced. These format changes will aid consignors in marketing their horses to their fullest potential, and allow buyers to better navigate today's highly competitive market."
Last year's Keeneland September yearling sale posted double-digit growth in both average and median prices, with buyback rates decreasing by 10 percent or more during six of the sale's 11 sessions. Seven yearlings sold for $1 million or more, going to seven different buyers.

"I decided to study at the University of Exeter, Cornwall Campus because it has the best combination of location, people and education that anywhere could offer.
The location was a massive draw; the nearest beach is never far away. If you were considering studying here I would definitely explore the area beforehand. The Cornwall Campus and the surrounding areas have so much to offer, it's hard to know where to start. There's always something new to try and different places to explore, whether it's a new sport or an idyllic isolated cave to camp in, not to mention the countless pubs, I never struggle to find somewhere I've never been before.
The huge diversity of students on campus means there's never a dull moment and you'll never feel out of place. The friendly, relaxed and laid-back vibe on campus creates a great space to both work and socialise. With the campus being small, it's easy to find your way around and not be scared to approach any of the students.
As part of the Student Campus Partnership scheme, I've gained invaluable work experience which will be very advantageous towards my career prospects. As an intern, I've worked alongside staff in the employability department, being given hands-on tasks that have made a difference. I've also had a chance to host talks with the UK's top employers, which are also accredited towards the Exeter Award. The Exeter Award is a great opportunity to enhance the vital skills that employers look for in a graduate and therefore make you stand out."

Trish Salah
Trish Salah is a Montreal-based writer, activist and teacher at Concordia's Simone de Beauvoir Institute and in Sociology and Women's Studies at Bishop's Universities.
She has been politically active in organizing around a range of issues, including Palestinian solidarity, sex workers' rights, anti-racism and anti-capitalism, employment security and healthcare for transsexual and transgender people. Salah is a former editor of Fuse magazine.
Her doctorate was taken in the Department of English at York University; Dr. Barbara Godard was her supervisor for the writing of her dissertation, "Writing Trans Genre: an inquiry into Transsexual and Transgender Rhetorics, Affects and Politics," which spans the 20th century in making a genealogy of contemporary transgender discourses. It situates evolving transgender figures and subjectivities in relation to psychoanalytic case studies and theory, feminist theory and fiction, queer and trans cultural and literary production. It also queers the genealogical project by bringing psychoanalytic attention to the figural economies within which transgender representation emerged.
Her writing addresses questions of desire, identity and the precarity of being and belonging. Her first book of poetry, Wanting in Arabic, was published in 2002 by TSAR Books and her work appears in recent issues of the journals Open Letter, No More Potlucks, Aufgabe, West Coast Line. Her new manuscript, "Lyric Sexology," is near completion.
