Oh, I meant if you were currently playing it in general not specifically. lol How is Iris server?
LOL sweet. How's the amount of english speakers on that server?
It's a fun game when i played it when it was just out, it's a grind though.
The main point is the silkroad You can choose to be a merchant, thief or a hunter, the merchant walks the route and sells stuff between towns, the hunter protect the merchant and thieves can steal the stuff and sell it.
You have normal monsters and really big hard ones you have to kill in a group, it's aimed for pvp mostly, but that's hard now because there are allot of high levels now.
Ok ive had enuf of this game... quests are too grindy and give little exp. And w/o quests u just have to grind on mobs. Also no cash payments = never rich. And it takes effing long to log into the game. Graphics have also fallen out of favour compared to other games, and armors all look the same and are boring.>_> Id say dont play this game unless u got cash for a premium ticket... wasnt as fun as it used to be.
"WoooooooooooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooo OOOOOOOW! I get it! Yeah!"
"You do?"
dont play isro...full of botters and its p2p. let the bots play
That is true. Very little legit players out there. However, login isn't as bad anymore and most of the time, you get in first try. If you have to wait, it's like 10-30 mins tops but that hasn't happened to me at all this month so maybe they have fixed something else again. If you do find legit players, the game is actually really fun. I'm currently playing on pluto with my gf, an old friend, and 2 legits i recruited from helios server. We pt play all the time and plvl each other. As long as no one turns into a leecher and starts spamming "plvl me plvl me" all the time, then the game stays fun. ^^
It is a sweet game man but there are two downfalls
When i played a few years back,it was impossible to enter due to bots,but that has been fixed i think
the second is the grind,it is major grind =/
but other than that nice game

Smartphone manufacturer LG Technologies has recently confirmed the existence of its new Android powered Unlocked LG Ally handset and that this new device is set to be released on May 20th. LG did not name a carrier in its press release but it is presumed that Verizon will be the lucky winner and obtain the rights to this new mobile device.
The new LG Ally is expected to feature plenty of Iron Man 2 tie-in content as well, including an augmented reality application. While there has not been much information released surrounding the LG Ally the mobile phone company has confirmed the phone will sport a touchscreen and full QWERTY keypad. More information about what features to expect with the Ally is expected to be announced at the upcoming LG event on May 11th in New York City.
This new Android device has definitely taken a strange release route especially in the form of being heavily tied in to the upcoming Iron Man 2 movie. From the initial look of this device it appears that the LG Ally Unlocked Phone is going to be one powerful Android device. There are expected to be plenty of features for any smartphone enthusiasts. Unfortunately we will have to wait until later in the month to hear just what these features will be but I think it will be well worth the wait. If the other LG Android devices are of any indication smartphone consumers are in store for one of the better devices on the market. This particular device expects to be rich with media features and have one of the best cameras of all the smartphones.

Class of 1967
Quarterback >>> 6-1, 201
1948 Chicago Bears, 1949 New York Bulldogs, 1950-1958 Detroit Lions, 1958-1962 Pittsburgh Steelers
Robert Lawrence Layne. . .Texas All-America, 1947. . .Led Lions to four divisional, three NFL titles in 1950s. . . Exceptional field leader, at best in clutch. . .Last-second TD pass won 1953 NFL title game. . . Also kicked field goals. . . All-NFL, 1952, 1956. . .Second-team All-NFL four times. . .NFL scoring champ, 1956. . . Career record: 1,814 completions for 26,768 yards, 196 TDs; 2,451 yards rushing; 372 points scored. . .Born December 19, 1926, in Santa Anna, Texas. . .Died December 1, 1986, at age of 59.
Bobby Layne, during his 15 pro football seasons, was a free-spirited All-NFL caliber quarterback who did well statistically but was exceptional in the intangibles – leadership, determination, competitiveness, and guts.
Layne left pro football with a legend that may never be exactly duplicated. Bobby's story deals with sterling accomplishments on the field but also with his penchant for enjoying every moment off the field, even if that meant on occasion a big night on the town just hours before a crucial game. While it's likely some of Layne's off-the-field activities have been exaggerated, there is no question he did not always subscribe to the general rules of team behavior.
So it may be that Layne's pro football success hinged on the relationship he developed with a wise and understanding coach, Raymond "Buddy" Parker, who understood what made Bobby tick. The two combined their talents to produce the most successful years in Detroit Lions history.
The Lions won divisional crowns in 1952, 1953, and 1954, and NFL titles in 1952 and 1953. In both title game victories, Layne and the Lions defeated the Cleveland Browns. In the 1953 game Bobby enjoyed his greatest and certainly most famous afternoon. The Browns held a 16-10 advantage with 4:10 left to play. Layne coolly directed the team on an 80-yard touchdown drive that combined with Doak Walker's extra point kick, gave the Lions a 17-16 win.
In 1957, Parker left the Lions to coach the Pittsburgh Steelers. Layne and the Lions won the NFL championship that season. One year later, Layne joined Parker in Pittsburgh through a trade. The Parker-Layne duo provided the Steelers with some of their finest seasons up to that time. Bobby Layne was a never-say-die competitor. His longtime friend and fellow Hall of Famer Doak Walker once said admiringly of his teammate: "Bobby never lost a game. Some days, time just ran out on him."

As the workers await court rulings pertaining to the factory site and its future, workers say they are being vigilant and have instituted rounds and a night guard to make sure R&R does not leave with the machines and equipment, thereby making it impossible for workers to consider continuing production at the site.

Inside Bluejay Baseball 2013: Summer League Review
Peter was invited to Team USA training camp in Cary, N.C., while Gerber earned a spot on the All-New England Baseball League (NECBL) first team.
As a member of the Ocean State Waves, Gerber compiled a .340 batting average with 10 doubles, seven home runs, 30 RBI and 26 runs scored. His seven long balls tied for the league-lead.
Peter did not make the final Team USA roster, yet the experience is one both he and head coach Ed Servais feel will significantly improve Peter in the season to come.
"It's an honor to have the chance to play for your country," said Peter. I've seen some of the other guys on the roster and I am humbled by this opportunity."
Several other Jays also delivered strong summer performances.
First baseman Reagan Fowler competed with the Palm Springs Power in the So Cal Collegiate baseball league. While helping his team to a 46-5 record, Fowler played in 37 games, starting 30. The sophomore from Omaha hit .389 recording 37 hits with seven doubles, 29 RBI, and 26 runs scored.
Pitcher Taylor Elman competed with the Bend Elks, posting a 4-2 record in 13 games. In 53.2 innings, Elman had a 3.35 ERA with 32 strikeouts and 22 walks.
Ryan Fitzgerald and Matt Warren helped the Butler Blue Sox to a 33-26 record in the Prospect League.
Fitzgerald posted a .261 batting average in 55 games with seven doubles, one triple, two home runs, and 16 RBI and 22 runs scored. Fitzgerald was also recognized as player of the week during Week 4 of the summer season (June 27). Warren started three games on the mound for the Blue Sox, posting a 1.76 ERA in 15.1 innings.
In 36 games with the Edmonton Prospects, Jays' infielder Tommy Clouthier hit .248 with six doubles, two home runs, 13 RBI and 17 runs scored. Clouthier also received action on the mound, pitching four innings for the Prospects.
Closer to campus, catcher Kevin Lamb played in 25 games, hitting .296 with two doubles, nine RBI and seven runs scored for Omaha Diamond Spirit.
Ben Lahn, Brad McKewon, and Cody Kottich also competed with the Diamond Spirit. Lahn hit .202 in 26 games with five doubles, 12 RBI and 11 runs scored. McKewon hit .271 in 17 games. Kottich competed in 10 games, posting a .296 batting average with two RBI and six runs scored.

|Written by Steve Frank
|Friday, 30 November 2012 06:08
Someone is targeting Sunglass Huts across the eastern states, and the Blowing Rock location at Shoppes of the Parkway yesterday became the latest in a series of brazen thefts over the past two weeks from Texas to Maryland. Blowing Rock Police were called to the local Sun Glass Hut
at Tanger Outlets yesterday morning at 10:04 am. Police say store manager Shannon Taylor arrived to open the store and found that the store had been broken into, the door lock damaged and the store shelves completely empty. The value of the merchandise stolen has not yet been determined. Taylor reported to officers that another Sunglass Hut store in Smithfield, NC, also was targeted overnight, and that over the past 2 weeks, Sunglass Hut stores in Texas, Virginia and Maryland have also been hit in a similar fashion. North Carolina State Bureau of Investigations was called by Blowing Rock Police to assist with crime scene processing while Blowing Rock Police officers are continuing the investigation. Anyone with any information about the crime, or who may have seen anything unusual at Tanger Outlets on the night of Wednesday November 28th, are encourage to call Blowing Rock Police at 828-295-5212 or High Country Crime Stoppers at 828-268-6959.

This kit is perfect for learning or teaching the fundamentals of how microcontrollers work.
This item is currently out of stock.
Product #: MSTIN3
The Mintronics: MintDuino is the newest product in our Mintronics series of kits. It's perfect for anyone interested in learning, or teaching, the fundamentals of how microcontrollers work. Inspired by Tom Igoe's Arduino tutorials, the MintDuino will have you building your very own ATmega based microcontroller from scratch on a breadboard. Afterwards, you can easily program it from almost any computer with an FTDI programmer (not included) and the Arduino IDE (download here).
Unlike pre-built microcontrollers, the MintDuino demonstrates the specific relationship between the wires, resistors, capacitors, and integrated circuits that enables you to program the microcontroller from your computer. After building the MintDuino, you'll have a much better understanding of how micro controllers work, and how electronics can interact with the physical world.
Check out the new Mintduino Book available here!
Please note: An FTDI programmer is required to upload code to the MintDuino. Our FTDI friend is a perfect match!

Shimano SH-M240L Mountain Shoe
Slip and clip into the Shimano SH-M240L Mountain bike shoes! Their custom-fit ergonomics make the SH-M240L the perfect shoes to take on your rides! The SH-M240L are meant for all types of weather conditions, from sunny to thunderous rain storms, these shoes can handle it all- can you?
I got these shoes back in August 2013 and they are awesome. I custom fit them at home easily, and am really impressed with how much better they fit than my last pair of Shimanos. Zero heel slip. Very light and durable, zero issues so far and I ride em hard. I used to wear Sidi's but am sold on Shimanos now. Great quality, especially for the price.
The stiffness of this shoe and the fit is awesome. Excellent transfer of power directly to the pedal. The stiffness takes away from the walking capability so you wouldn't want to walk too far in these but typical distants aren't an issue. The buckles on these tend to break pretty easily so keep that in mind when cranking them down. Shimano is pretty good about replacing them under the 1 year warranty, anything after that and you can expect to pay around $20 for a new buckle. The designs on the shoes have started to fall off after a year, and although this is purely cosmetic, you end up looking like a bum whose shoes are falling apart.

|Elkin Hospital seeks expansion
|Written by Lauren Ohnesorge
|Sunday, 01 July 2007 18:07
Hugh Chatham Memorial Hospital in Elkin has asked the state's permission for a $41 million expansion of its emergency department.While many rural hospitals are reducing their services or joining hospital companies, Elkin's has kept its independence. The hospital is seeing a nine percent increase in patients coming to the emergency room yearly.
This would be the second expansion in recent history. Two years ago, Chatham spent $20 million to add surgical space and imaging equipment. With the expansions, more and more people are opting to go to the local hospital rather than drive to city facilities.
The hospital is currently seeking permission from the state to expand by applying for a certificate of need. The process could take at least six months. If approved, the construction project would start in February and continue into 2010.

It was standing room only in the Historic Courthouse when the Jefferson County Board of Legislators unanimously passed a resolution opposing the New York Secure Ammunition and Firearms Enforcement Act to a round of raucous applause and a standing ovation.
Seven members of the audience took to the podium during the boards privilege of the floor period to voice their support of the resolution and legislators also weighed in on the resolution during the discussion period.
Chairwoman of the Board Carolyn D. Fitzpatrick made the passage of the resolution a roll call vote to give legislators a chance to be individually heard. All voted yes. One or two took the opportunity to make their passion felt by the crowd.
Michael F. Astafan, D-Carthage, voted emphatically in the affirmative, saying On my life, yes.
Anthony J. Doldo, R-Watertown, said Absolutely, and Mrs. Fitzpatrick closed out the vote with an Absolutely, yes.
The passage of the resolution by the full board marks the end of a monthlong process initiated by legislator Robert D. Ferris, R-Watertown, after fielding concerns about the new law from his constituents.
Bringing the idea to his fellow legislators, Mr. Ferris said that he was determined to see the resolution work its way through the boards committee process so that it could be fully vetted before coming before the full board.
I said, Well, why dont we do the right thing? which is what I dont believe the governor did, which is take out time and look through it and see which parts of it really need to be repealed and rethought, Mr. Ferris said on Feb. 5.
At the Feb. 12 board meeting, Legislator John D. Peck, R-Great Bend, introduced a resolution he had crafted himself. That resolution was reworked by Mr. Ferris and Deputy County Administrator Michael E. Kaskan and was passed by the boards General Services Committee on Feb. 19.
The SAFE Act, which was passed into law by Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo on Jan. 15, enacted broad and sweeping changes to New York states already tough gun-control laws that many north country residents felt unfairly restricted their Second Amendment rights.
Jefferson County has joined 36 counties that have passed similar resolutions.

Given names are generally gender specific. Male names cannot be used for females and vice versa. The only exception to this rule is "Maria" which can be used as a male second name as in Erich Maria.
German children are given one or many pre-names (vornames). Only one of these names however is used as their main name or call name (rufname). Parents choose a name because they like it or they may name a child after a relative. Religious catholics frequently give saints names as secondary names. Some combinations of male first and second names such as Hans-Joseph are traditionally hyphenated. The maximum number of first names is five.
Germany has very strict naming laws. Names must be known as a human names. For example, pet names, common nouns, place names and invented names are not allowed. They must also not be offensive or humiliating. The Name Registrar (Standesbeamter) has the right to bar a name. Parent's can appeal the Standesbeamter's decision in court.
Given names may only be changed to correct an error made by the state when recording the name, naturalization of foreigners who may wish to take on a more Germanic version of their name and gender reassignment by transsexuals.

Electric utility named to Carbon Disclosure Leadership Index and Dow Jones Sustainability North America Index
CHICAGO – In recognition of Exelon's leadership in corporate sustainability and environmentally sound business practices, the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) has named it to the 2010 Carbon Disclosure Leadership Index. In addition, Exelon recently was included in the Dow Jones Sustainability North America Index for the fifth consecutive year.
"We are honored to again have our sustainability efforts recognized by these independent experts," said Exelon Chairman and CEO John W. Rowe. "We will continue our commitment to reduce our carbon footprint and embrace corporate sustainability through initiatives such as Exelon 2020 and by advocating for national regulations and policies that support the transition to a cleaner energy future."
The cornerstone of Exelon's business strategy, Exelon 2020 is a plan to reduce, offset or displace more than 15 million metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions per year by 2020. This is greater than the company's 2001 annual carbon footprint and equivalent to taking nearly 3 million cars off the road. Last year, Exelon announced that it had reduced, displaced or offset its greenhouse gas emissions by more than 35 percent since 2001.
The CDP collects data from more than 2,500 major corporations on their greenhouse gas emissions and climate change strategies. Exelon received a score of 90, making it one of the highest-ranked utilities and one of the top 10 scorers among S&P 500 companies named to the index. The company was recognized in four leadership categories for its reporting on greenhouse gas emissions and its actions to reduce emissions. "The Carbon Disclosure Leadership Index recognizes companies that demonstrate good internal data management practices for understanding greenhouse gas emissions, including energy use," said Paul Dickinson, chief executive of the CDP. "Companies that make this index have also demonstrated clear consideration of how climate change impacts their business. As companies' understanding of climate change issues grows, they are better placed to take positive action to manage and mitigate its risks."
For the Dow Jones Sustainability North America Index, Exelon achieved an overall sustainability performance score of 70 percent, compared to the average score of 52 percent. The Index includes the top 20 percent of companies in each sector, in terms of sustainability. They are selected from the 600 largest North American companies according to a systematic assessment that identifies the leading sustainability-driven companies. The annual review is based on a thorough analysis of economic, environmental and social performance, assessing issues such as corporate governance, risk management, branding, climate change mitigation, supply chain standards and labor practices.
Exelon Corporation is one of the nation's largest electric utilities with more than $17 billion in annual revenues. The company has one of the industry's largest portfolios of electricity generation capacity, with a nationwide reach and strong positions in the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic. Exelon distributes electricity to approximately 5.4 million customers in northern Illinois and southeastern Pennsylvania and natural gas to approximately 486,000 customers in the Philadelphia area. Exelon is headquartered in Chicago and trades on the NYSE under the ticker EXC.
The Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) is an independent not-for-profit organization holding the largest database of primary corporate climate change information in the world. Thousands of organizations across the world's largest economies now measure and disclose their greenhouse gas emissions and climate change strategies through CDP, in order that they can set reduction targets and make performance improvements. This data is gathered on behalf of 534 institutional investors, with combined assets under management in excess of $64 trillion, as well as purchasing organizations and government bodies and made available for integration into business and policy decision making.

Cyber-charter growth and the development of virtual school programs continue
Using the Google alerts, I've been off-handedly collecting URLs from articles about public-school-at-home, also called cyber-charters, e-schools, and virtual schools. In sorting cyber/charter/virtual links supplied by Google alerts, I usually copy the listing and just use Ctrl+End in the Word.doc and paste in the listing at the bottom of the page. While catching up with my backlog, I was surprised to see that the "alt ed" category at the bottom of my list was the largest category of news story in my collection. Like Topsy, that section 'just growed.'
The articles run the gamut from matter-of-fact articles, to legal disputes, to near-advertising, to those that continue to equate public-school-at-home with homeschooling. The list of collected articles, only from July and August, is long, and the articles come from around the country, something that indicates a national trend.
General observations about the programs
The virtual programs are gaining in popularity among some legislators who see them as a way to fulfill the expectation of public schooling, but at a lower cost. They are also popular among people who see the expansion of educational methods as serving a wider range of children and families. For them, to be denied the fullest possible choice is regarded as a kind of deprivation.
There are many variables concerning both the use by schools and families of the programs, so there are no right or wrong conclusions, only many 'what ifs,' and new ways to adjust to the changes. People who don't see the public-school-at-home genie (who is just about completely out of his bottle) as the wave of the future usually have some stake in the effects of in-home education that is legally controlled by public authorities.
In combination with homeschooling, public-school-at-home could cause a decline in the number of public-school-related jobs available, and this decline would affect not just teachers, but any industry that serves the mass-education business. I see that sector as ranging 'from push-pin suppliers up to construction companies.' Although children should not be 'school fodder,' it is a natural reaction to try to protect one's job, and if that means fostering the expectation that school is the natural place for children, then so be it.
Schools' use of the programs
Not all school districts oppose the virtual development, and some actively embrace it and use local programs to "entice" homeschooling families back to public schooling, or to attract parents who live in another district to use their program.
Years ago school districts would have nothing to do with homeschooling families, just as they didn't interact with families whose children were in private schools. Sometimes there was even animosity shown towards homeschooling families through allegations of truancy, or, in my case, a lack of permission to tutor reading in a friend's third-grade classroom because our family homeschooled. It took six months for my friend to make the point to the school administrators that we were asking to help, not asking for help.
One can only speculate about why the schools took these actions, but one reason might have been to try to force families to re-enroll their children in school. As homeschooling grew, the 'stick tactic' obviously didn't work, and now the 'carrot tactic' appears to be the motivator of choice. School districts are catching more kids with honey than with vinegar.
Concerns of homeschoolers
Homeschool advocates, whose stake in the outcome is less obvious than that of schools, are concerned about the confusion of homeschooling with public-school-at-home in the mind of the general public. They wonder whether the confusion will lead to calls by taxpayers for increased regulation of all home education in the name of 'accountability' as some people believe that parents can't even be trusted as parents, much less as teachers. For people with that opinion about parents, whether taxpayer funding is involved in the homeschooling is immaterial: kids belong in school.
In the opinions of other people, the use of public funds requires strict oversight. An example of that trend is the recent increase in the size of the homeschooling regulation in Alberta, Canada.
Yet another troubling thought is the growing acceptance of the appropriateness of school personnel having a say-so in at-home activities, especially if the in-home public education trend continues and web-cams become commonplace for teacher-student interaction. At the moment there doesn't seem to be a situation whereby a teacher conducts a mass-lesson via web-cam with the transmitted images of the class's students tiled on one of the teacher's computer screens, but given the speed at which computer hardware and software are developed, the idea isn't as far-fetched as is should seem. Programs already exist where a person can use multiple monitors for one job, and drag-and-drop items from one monitor screen to another.
Another concern is the disappearance of homeschooling as an independent family activity as at-home education is co-opted by school administrations that advertise that the service is 'free' to families. It is true that the families do not usually have to pay full tuition, but the service must be paid for somewhere, and that somewhere is from taxes.
Gradual displacement
Because the choice to homeschool has not yet been removed from the education laws of the various states, many see the concern about 'free' public-school-at-home as misplaced.
The freedom to homeschool still exists and families who decide that the public, private or virtual schooling doesn't fit their needs are able to choose to homeschool if they wish. A danger is if the very concept of homeschooling is replaced in the common consciousness by public-school-at-home.
Until I read a newspaper article about homeschooling, the idea of removing my children from school (for whatever reason) never occurred to me. If I hadn't heard of homeschooling my three younger children would have negotiated the labyrinth of public school just as their older brother did. I know what it's like not to know.
If the concept of the liberty to say 'no thanks' to public education disappears, the education situation may return to the model of someone in authority having the final say concerning schooling, with succeeding generations of parents being none the wiser.
If the liberty aspect of homeschooling fades, past references to 'homeschooling' will be assumed to always have meant 'public-school-at-home.' This fading is why glosses are necessary for the proper reading of older texts: the meanings of words change, as do the social context in which they are used.
Poems with the words 'gay' or 'queer' in them (meaning 'happy' and 'odd,' respectively), are difficult to read aloud without tittering. I won't even start on the difficulty in reciting Edward Lear's The Owl and the Pussycat other than to quote one section. "O lovely Pussy, O Pussy, my love, What a beautiful Pussy you are, You are, You are! What a beautiful Pussy you are!"
Any change in the status quo causes commotion. Because of this, the number of articles about cyber-schooling is growing.
Recent articles about the virtual version of public school are:
- Jackson Clarion Ledger, Jackson, Mississippi, 2 July 2006, Alternative program speeds graduation "This is an ideal route for students wanting to supplement their home-school curriculum in areas of the curriculum that parents are not confident teaching," said Stephen Beebe, coordinator of the program. "In time, it will be the No. 1 route for home-school curriculum in Mississippi."
- Green Bay Press Gazette, Green Bay, Wisconsin, 10 July 2006, Fondow questions need for 5th high school But what Fondow has to say might come as a surprise. He's vehemently opposed to the proposed $75 million referendum — and the school it would fund. … By Wieland's estimates — factoring in certain alternative program students who aren't counted in their home school count — about 190 to 200 alternative program students actually are counted in home school counts.The district includes the students in home school counts because that's where they start the year, Nerad said."When we can identify that group of kids who are going to be out of school for the full year, we do," he added.
- Louisville Courier-Journal, Louisville, Kentucky, 11 July 2006, Charter schools could go online Ball State University in Muncie is considering guidelines to authorize the formation of "virtual charter schools," allowing parents to use online instruction for their children. … Although some parents who home-school their children likely will be interested in virtual charter schools, others will have reservations.
- Fort Wayne News Sentinel, Fort Wayne, Indiana, 11 July 2006, Ball State developing rules for online charter schools Indiana would get its first online charter schools under guidelines being considered by Ball State University, which would allow parents to use largely computer-based instruction for their children. … Under the proposed guidelines, parents would receive computers and other equipment at no charge from charter schools. Students would remain at home for most instruction, but the rules would require them to spend at least 20 percent of their time at the charter school so they have personal contact with teachers.
There is no free lunch. Taxpayers are charged for the online charter schools' computers and equipment, just as they are for all the necessities of neighborhood public schools.
- Chicago Tribune, Chicago, Illinois, 13 July 2006, Virtual school may open in Illinois (via Students First Illinois) Home-school families, for example, usually get their children involved in activities outside of home, so they socialize with other students, Hayes said. … The school's officials say they are confident they will get that approval, though they face opposition from the Chicago Teachers Union. Among other concerns, the union questions how the virtual school can assure children will get the hours of instruction required by state law. … Students will learn language arts, math, social studies, art and even gym through online lesson plans.
I hope you'll pardon me rolling my eyes at the idea of online gym classes. … and I typed that without realizing that the next article in the queue starts off with online P.E.
- Stateline.org, Washington, D.C., 14 July 2006, School just a click away For most high school students, physical education classes mean crowded locker rooms, group showers and a P.E. teacher barking out orders. For others, it's as simple and solitary as flipping on their home computer and logging on to the Internet. … And more states are hopping on the virtual bandwagon. This year, Missouri and South Dakota enacted laws paving the way for a statewide virtual learning program. In April, Michigan made an online class a high school requirement, starting with the class of 2011. Georgia, which had its inaugural virtual education program in the last school year, enacted a new law to allow for cyber charter schools, while Illinois will open its first public virtual elementary school this fall.
- (follow-up to Chicago article above) Chicago Sun-Times, Chicago, Illinois, 14 July 2006, Home-based online schooling ripped (via Students First Illinois) A new Chicago Public Schools charter that would educate students online from home is illegal, the Chicago Teachers Union said Thursday, threatening a court challenge to the school, which has yet to receive state approval.
- CBS2 Chicago, Chicago, Illinois, 14 July 2006, Virtual School Provides Alternative To Home School Before the Chicago Virtual Charter School became available, she had planned to home school her child. "With this, you have a teacher to support you, grade papers and give a little guidance as well," Hawkins said. The virtual school provides all the supplies, including a computer. Students study from real books, do real projects and complete about 20 percent of their work online.
If the "real books" alluded to are school texts, some homeschoolers will point out that our impression of using "real books" differs from the model of using textbooks. Also, homeschool projects can be just as 'real' (or not) as school projects.
- WISH, Indianapolis, Indiana, 14 July 2006, Ball State developing rules for online charter schools Under the proposed guidelines, parents would receive computers and other equipment at no charge from charter schools.
No free lunch.
- Brainerd Daily Dispatch, Brainerd, Minnesota, 15 July 2006, High school classes go online (registration) School districts will pay a fee to MnCOLA for each course its students take but the fee will be less expensive than losing 88 percent of the student's per pupil funding if that student chose to take classes elsewhere. Any student in the state could take courses through MnCOLA but that fee will be less expensive for member school districts, said Williams. MnCOLA online courses will be taught by teachers contracted through the collaborative.
- Pioneer Press, St. Paul, Minnesota, 16 July 2006, Online classes click with athletes Student athletes like Halverson who train hours each day and compete worldwide find traditional schools a mismatch. Seeking flexibility and individualized lessons, these students — a mix of home, charter, private and public school attendees — are turning to online resources to juggle their education and athletic commitments.
- Gillette News Record, Gillette, Wyoming, 21 July 2006, District considers˜virtual school' for those who prefer staying home A virtual school offered in the fall through the Campbell County School District will provide an out-of-the-classroom education option that supplements or replaces traditional home schooling.
- Gillette News Record, Gillette, Wyoming, 24 July 2006, School via computer idea delayed
- also: The Casper Star Tribune, Casper, Wyoming, 26 July 2006, Virtual school faces hurdles "There is an awful lot of disagreement as to what would constitute a virtual school and how you would guarantee that every student would receive an equal opportunity," she said. "We are not even sure we have the authority to give permission for virtual schools."
- Leavenworth Times, Leavenworth, Kansas, 24 July 2006, Students begin enrolling in Internet-based school (fee access only) "Basically, we are there to help those parents out who are home-schooling their kids," he said.
- Pottstown Mercury, Pottstown, Pennsylvania, 24 July 2006, Cyber school enrollment increasing While parents view cyber charter schools as an alternative form of education, school district officials view the increase in cyber school attendance as a drain on their budgets. As commercials and advertisements for cyber charter schools tout the message of no tuition for enrollees, school districts are faced with paying a large portion of the bill.
- Columbia Basin Herald, Moses Lake, Washington, 27 July 2006, Steilacoom recruiting schools for virtual academy "My concern is that it appears some of the students they're trying to target are kids not currently in the system," said MLSD Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum and Instruction Michelle Price before the presentation. "If they register for this program they would then be a Steilacoom School District student." … "Our audience is for people who are home schooling and want to have top flight, first rate full meal deal curriculum," said Arthur Himmler, superintendent of Steilacoom schools, in a phone interview with the Herald. "This is not any easy correspondence course, this is a very substantive program."
The implication is that any parent homeschooling his or her child without this "top flight, first rate full meal deal" is giving the child an insubstantial education.
- Johnson County Sun, Overland Park, Kansas, 27 July 2006, State provides online education through charter school Virtual School Principal Gary Lewis said the school appeals to parents who want to home school their children."The school actually started as a request from some home school families," Lewis said. "The purpose is to provide exceptionally quality education for students based on their needs."
This new concern for the needs of homeschoolers is in direct contrast to the earlier institutional animosity.
- Allentown Morning Call, Allentown, Pennsylvania, 31 July 2006, More accountability for cyber charters is reasonable goal of proposed law(via OWL Institute site) Rep. Beyer believes that cyber charters should be held to the same standards as "regular" charter schools and the state's 501 public school districts. All three, after all, are public schools. The cyber charters are different, of course, in that they are a form of homeschooling. But they differ from traditional homeschool arrangements in that curriculum equipment and instruction comes to the family at no cost beyond the ordinary real estate or per capita taxes that the home district might levy. Taxpayers pay the costs.
- Manteca Bulletin, Manteca, California, 5 August 2006, A way to empower parents & students When my son was preparing for kindergarten last year, his preschool teacher asked me if I had ever considered homeschool, in which I quickly replied no. She said that after observing my son for over a year, she believed that while he was smart enough to enter kindergarten, he needed more time to mature and thought homeschool would be a good option for him. I could have dismissed her words quickly and just enrolled him in traditional school as planned, but something in me knew she was right. She referred me to Connecting Waters Charter School where I had an opportunity to learn what homeschool was really all about.
- Nanaimo News Bulletin, British Columbia, Candada, 10 August 2006, Boom in home-schooling expected(via OWL Institute) "It's growing, the number of people choosing to home-school," said Scott Saywell, district principal of Nanaimo school district's alternative programs. The Education Ministry changed how it funds home-schooling in June. School districts now get slightly more funding for every distance education student enrolled, giving school boards an incentive to make more home-schooling learning available. "The ministry is taking charge," Saywell said. "The thing was growing independently. Now the ministry is recognizing it's not just a fad."
And the ministry seems to be nipping that growing independence.
- Teachers can also give virtual lessons using web cams and electronic chalkboards. Funding is even available to help families get computers.
And you thought I was making up the web cam part.
- Mankato Free Press, Mankato, Minnesota, 12 August 2006, Virtual schools catch on
- also at USA Today, 21 August 2006, Home-schooled students defecting to online learning programs The Larsons started home schooling their daughter Elisabeth two years ago. … "She was like a sponge," said Maria Larson, her mother. "I was running out of things to teach her. I thought, 'I've got to have some help.'" The solution came in the mail box after the family got an informational brochure about a virtual public school. …"There is accountability for each class," Maria said. "Now I'm just the learning coach to make sure she follows through." …
"Home schooling is very hard, because parents have to choose all of the curriculum," said Mellisa Nelson, Connections Academy principal. "We have many former home schoolers."
Gee whiz, I thought it was fun finding all the stuff for the kids. Guess I was mistook.
- WFMZ-TV Online, Allentown, Pennsylvania, 22 August 2006, Cyber Schools Hearing Draws Crowd Cyber schooling — it's a high-tech way to go to school on-line. The question is: Who should pay for it? That's the question raised at a hearing in Allentown today, drawing people from all over the state. But it turns out House Bill 26- 16 isn't the only reason folks are upset tonight.
- News-Herald, Franklin, Pennsylvania, 22 August 2006, Franklin board preps for school year In other matters, Paranick reported that seven students are already registered for the district's cyber school program, which will debut this fall. The district is offering the program in conjunction with the Beaver Area School District. Paranick has estimated that the district could save as much as $5,000 per student if students choose the local cyber school over one of the state's cyber charter schools.
- Lancaster Newspapers, Lancaster, Pennsylvania, 23 August 2006, Cyber school funding debated School officials say the cyber school budget item didn't exist only a few years ago and its forced them to cut programs and raise taxes. "It's built into our expenses and part of what we base tax increases on," Christopher Johnston, Penn Manor School District business manager, said in April. "It has been an additional cost we've had to accommodate."
- Fort Wayne News Sentinel, Fort Wayne, Indiana, 26 August 2006, Ball State approves guidelines for online charter schools Online charter schools could open in Indiana by the fall of 2007 after state guidelines were approved by Ball State University President Jo Ann Gora. The rules approved by Gora last week require students who enroll in online charter schools to take ISTEP tests and attend a designated classroom at least 20 percent of instruction time. Such virtual charter schools typically draw children who are home-schooled, travel with their parents or are too sick to attend traditional classrooms.

The program is run through a partnership between Davis, Alpine and Washington school districts but is available to all Utah families at no cost.
- Record-Searchlight, Redding, California, 27 August 2006, Education is a family affair for the Atzets The group recently joined up with ModocCharter School as an independent study unit. With the partnership, Atzet's group receives supplies and books, and the school is able to count the kids as students, opening the charter to a bit more state funding. But to lead the group, Rosanne had to earn her teaching credential.

"Show me your papers" comes to Massachusetts
ACLU of Massachusetts Legal Director Matthew R. Segal wrote this guest blog.
Starting on May 15, the federal government will effectively force Massachusetts--that's right, force--to participate in "Secure Communities," an immigration dragnet that risks pushing Massachusetts toward an Arizona-style "show me your papers" regime.
This is bad news for all Massachusetts residents. S-Comm promotes racial profiling, jeopardizes public safety, and inhibits economic growth. Although the federal government seems intent on implementing this flawed program anyway, Massachusetts officials should try to limit the havoc that it wreaks.
Under S-Comm, everyone arrested and fingerprinted in Massachusetts will have their fingerprints sent for an immigration check by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). This check will occur even if the arrest was for a minor offense and even if the person arrested turns out to be innocent. As a result, S-Comm encourages the police to seek and arrest--rather than merely warn or summons--anyone who just might be in the country illegally.
The S-Comm dragnet promotes the kind of racial profiling all but mandated by Arizona's infamous "show me your papers" law. That law requires Arizona police officers to check the immigration status of anyone they stop, detain, or arrest, so long as the officer has a mere "reasonable suspicion" that the suspect has violated immigration law. But when police look for immigration offenses, they of course target innocent people who happen to have brown skin or speak with accents.
This racial profiling undermines public safety because it pits police officers against minority communities. Under S-Comm, lawful immigrants and citizens might worry that they and their loved ones will be investigated if they call the police to report a crime or ask for help. They might also fear being arrested just so an officer can check their immigration status. For minority communities, S-Comm turns calling the police into a risky proposition.
To their credit, Massachusetts officials have wrestled with S-Comm's threat to public safety. Boston Mayor Thomas Menino and Police Commissioner Ed Davis have expressed reservations about S-Comm, and Governor Deval Patrick has said he would not sign a memorandum implementing it.
But, rather than respect those concerns, the federal government released a memo concluding that it did not need anyone's permission to implement S-Comm. Instead, when a Massachusetts police officer submits fingerprints to the FBI for a criminal background check, the FBI will simply pass the fingerprints along to ICE for an immigration status check. This practice will erode valuable trust between local law enforcement and minority communities.
What is more, S-Comm imperils our state's fragile economic recovery by making our state less hospitable to immigrants. Most immigrants, including those in violation of immigration law, contribute meaningfully to the economy. They are here to work. And, contrary to talk-radio folklore, research shows that crime declines significantly with increases in the proportion of a community that is foreign-born and Hispanic.
So it is hardly surprising that states suffer economically when they drive out immigrants. Arizona's immigration law has driven out thousands of laborers, consumers, and entrepreneurs. Alabama's new anti-immigrant law, meanwhile, could cost that state between $2.3 and $10.8 billion per year.
S-Comm now brings similar risks to Massachusetts, and Massachusetts officials should fight them. Although our state's officials might not be able to scrap S-Comm, they can instruct police officers not to engage in racial profiling, not to arrest people just to run immigration checks, and not to let concerns about illegal immigration color their relations with minority communities.
If our police officers focus on what is important--solving serious crimes and building good relationships with minority communities--we will all benefit.

Pharmaceutical Collection Event – September 29
The Drug Enforcement Administration is coordinating a one-day collaborative effort with the Carrollton Police Department to remove potentially dangerous prescription drugs from Carrollton homes. Collection activities are planned from 10 am until 2 pm on Saturday, September 29 in the front parking lot of the Carrollton Police Department (2025 E. Jackson Road).
The public will be able to surrender expired, unwanted or unused pharmaceutical substances and other medications to law enforcement officers for destruction since these substances in homes are a potential source that fuels drug abuse and are a risk to public health and safety. Clean out those medicine cabinets. Controlled, non-controlled, and over-the-counter substances may be collected. No questions or requests for identification will be made. Participants may dispose of medication in its original container. All solid dosage pharmaceutical product and liquids in consumer containers will also be accepted. Liquid products, such as cough syrup, should remain sealed in their original container. Intra-venous solutions, injectibles and syringes will not be accepted at the Police Department drop off location due to potential hazard posed by blood-borne pathogens. There will be an additional drop off location at Hebron Valley Elementary (4108 Creek Valley) that will accept all the items mentioned above, but will also be the ONLY site accepting intra-venous solutions, injectibles and syringes.
For more information, contact Officer J. Moore at 972-466-3521 or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

BUFFALO, NY - If you're shopping for a tablet this holiday season, you've got a ton of choices.
The newest tablets offer great new features and lower prices than ever. But it can be tough to figure out what to get. Do you need to pay a premium or will a just-released, less-expensive tablet suit your needs?
The world of tablets keeps growing. New entries include the Nook HD and HD-plus, the iPad Mini, and the Surface - Microsoft's first tablet.
Consumer Reports tests to find the best. While the top ones all have something to offer, there are big differences.
For example, the 500-dollar Surface has a superb 10-inch screen plus a handy stand, and you can get a cover with a built-in keyboard.
However, when it comes to content, Microsoft has a way to go. Paul Reynolds with Consumer Reports says, "Windows tablets lack access to the big content selection from Apple or the Android Marketplace, or even the Amazon and Barnes and Noble content offerings."
Size is another important consideration - the 7-point-8-inch iPad Mini is Apple's first smaller tablet, competing with other small tablets like the Barnes and Noble Nook HD and Kindle Fire HD from Amazon.
Consumer Reports finds in many ways the Mini is every bit as good as the bigger iPads. The screen offers crisp text, optimal photo viewing, and good sound.
The 330-dollar iPad Mini is also light, making it extra portable.
But for 200 dollars, the Barnes and Noble Nook HD is well worth considering. Sharp text that fills the 7-inch screen makes reading a pleasure.
However, the larger 9-inch Nook HD-plus is a better choice if you're a magazine lover. It starts at 270 dollars. Paul Reynolds likes the iPad,
"The iPad still offers the most content, and its screen's a little bigger than the Nook HD+. But at 500 dollars and up, it costs almost twice as much."
Consumer Reports says no matter what your priorities are, there's never been a better selection of tablets to choose from.
If you're thinking about buying an extended warranty for a tablet, Consumer Reports says it may not be worth the money.
In a recent survey, only four percent of tablet owners needed repairs. But if you still want to get one, Consumer Reports says consider less expensive coverage, such as the 28-dollar, two-year accidental plan sold at Walmart.

In fact, I think the last impact pitcher we developed in our farm system that reached his full potential in the majors was Mike Mussina.

He was striking out 11 guys per 9 innings and still managed to average 6.5 innings per start. He led the league in xFIP and K/9 the year before he was traded. How good would the Orioles staff be if all of their pitching prospects had failed developments like that? If Bedard wasn't/isn't passionate about baseball, no one can make him change how he feels about it.
ofahn wrote:
The point I was trying to make is that he DID NOT LIVE UP TO HIS POTENTIAL. You can argue that a lack of heart was a scouting failure but we have these kids for between three and four years in our farm system. That is more than enough time to explain that the acceptable standard is that they do everything within their power to help the team, and if they have a problem with that then their arrival in the majors will be a year or two longer than they were expecting.
I don't see any player as more important than the organization. Let's suppose, for argument's sake, that Manny Machado decided that his talent did require him to hustle on ground balls or advance a runner by hitting to the right side of the infield. If I were running the system I would have the coaches talk with him as much as necessary until he saw the light. If that didn't work I would bring in an outsider or two that he might listen too. If that didn't work I would make him play an extra year at AA and then at AAA until he got the message. If all of that failed then I would trade him. HE WOULD NEVER PLAY A ML GAME FOR ME UNLESS HE WAS GIVING ME HIS VERY BEST ON EVERY PLAY.

Laurie Rosenfeld, LIOS
Laurie RosenfeldLIOS Graduate College Alumni
Laurie Rosenfeld had been working for other organizations, first as a lawyer and then as a management consultant, when she realized that she actually wanted to be working for herself.
Looking back, she says, "I wasn't sure if I should start my own business, or how I would do it, but I knew that I wanted to. I'd been trained to do my job, sure, but I felt like I'd been given the Cliff Notes version of organizational development, and now I wanted the whole book."
Determined to get the education she needed, Laurie began looking at graduate schools. "I do a lot of research when I investigate programs," she said – and when she found LIOS late in her search, she knew she'd found something extraordinary.
"I went to a LIOS information session, and what I noticed right away was their focus on people, instead of just on credentials. And something clicked," she says. "Often in the business world, there's a lot of glitz without much substance underneath. LIOS wasn't glitzy. There was substance. We dove right into the learning. I left the two hour session with something of value that I could use in my life and career, right away. That was incredible. I knew this was the program for me."
The experience of getting her MA in Organizational Systems, Leadership and Organization Development exceeded Laurie's expectations.
"It's a brilliant program," she says. "You get lots of feedback. You gain a lot of self-awareness. By the time you graduate you're really grounded as a practitioner. That's something about LIOS that is unique: anybody can read books and understand materials, but that doesn't help you to think on your feet. LIOS's laboratory environment trains you to do that."
Laurie is now preparing to set up her own consulting business. She'll also offer executive coaching – something she discovered that she loved while at LIOS. For her, the experience was as much a personal as a professional transformation.
"LIOS doesn't just teach you how to do what everyone else is doing, or promote the idea that we all have to use exactly the same tools or that there's only one approach to solving a problem," Laurie says. "LIOS helps you develop your own signature presence in your field. Faculty and fellow students support you in asking 'what is it that I, as a unique individual, have to bring?' Then, when you bring yourself to this work, you offer something that no one else does. And that is powerful."

Tuesday saw the Greenville Road Warriors as well as Ryan Graves (2013 4th) and his Val-d'Or Foreurs facing key games in their hunt for championships. Both teams got what they needed scoring big wins that greatly helped their chances.
First up at the Memorial Cup in London Ontario, the Val-d'Or Foreurs were facing the Edmonton Oil Kings of the WHL with the winner advancing directly to Friday night's semifinals. The loser faced the possibility of having to play in the tie breaker game on Thursday and having to win 3 games in 4 days to win the Memorial Cup.
The Oil Kings got off to a good start jumping out to an early 2-0 lead before the middle of the first period was reached. The Foreurs would finally respond when Ryan Graves would fire a puck from the point which teammate Shawn Ouellette-St-Amant would deflect into the net for the Foreur's first goal of the game.
For Graves who was one of the starting defensemen, it was his first point in the Tournament but it came at a much needed time as the Foreurs were in danger of falling out of this game. Still they trailed 2-1 after one period but in the second period they got the tying goal.
On the penalty kill, a puck would hit Graves in the leg and would wind up on the stick of Pierre-Maxime Poudrier who took it the length of the ice for a shorthanded goal that tied the game. Graves deserved an assist but didn't get one.
The teams would trade goals in the third period which led to the first overtime and both teams had chances to score but the goalies were up to the task. In the second overtime, the Foreurs would score the game winner on breakaway from Anthony Richard who beat Islander prospect Griffin Reinhart to the puck and then took it the length of the ice for the winner.
For Graves, this was clearly his best effort of the Tournament as he was active and for the most part strong defensively. Graves recorded his first point of the Tournament along with a +3 for the night.
Val-d'Or will next play on Friday against either London or Edmonton.
In the ECHL conference finals, Team #bleedblue AKA the Greenville Road Warriors stole the home ice advantage away from the Cincinnati Cyclones after exploding for 5 goals in the third period as they win 8-4.
For the Road Warrior report going to turn you over to Andy Zilch the media relations manager for the Road Warriors and here is his report:
The Road Warriors scored five goals in the third period, three of which were shorthanded, to rally past the Cyclones by a final score of 8-4.
Greenville stormed out to another lead with the first goal of the game by Sean Berkstresser. The forward whistled a shot past the shoulder of Cyclones goaltender Rob Madore for his second of the playoffs that was assisted by Lindsay Sparks. The goal was originally not called but was put under review and was allowed. Justin Vaive gave the Road Warriors a 2-0 lead with a deflection shot from Andrew Rowe with 12:50 remaining in the period. Cincinnati was held shot less for the first 14 minutes of the game but came through with scoring chances that led to goals. Josh Shalla put the Cyclones on the board with his ninth of the post-season with a wrist shot that snuck past Jeff Malcolm. Wade Megan tied the game two minutes later with a power play goal that was scored on a partial break. The rookie forward scored his eighth goal of the playoff by beating Malcolm five-hole.
The Road Warriors started the second period much like the first period with the goal of the frame jus 1:39 in. Josh Nicholls scored his fourth of the playoffs with assists from Andrew Yogan and Kyle Jean. Just a minute later, Cincinnati tied it once again with a goal from Brett Wysopal who ripped a slap shot from the point. The Cyclones took the lead 1:20 later with a goal from Logan Shaw who scored in the slot beating Malcolm glove-side. The score remained through the duration of the period and the Cyclones held to a 4-3 lead moving into the third period.
The Cyclones began the third period on the power play, but it would be Greenville that would score on it. With 12 seconds left on the Cincinnati man advantage, Road Warriors forward Jordie Johnston broke into the Cyclones zone on a two-on-one and beat Madore with the wrist shot to even the game at four a piece. The Road Warriors again capitalized on a shorthanded opportunity. Nicholls scored his second goal of the night on a shorthanded breakaway at 10:50 to put Greenville back on top 5-4. Greenville completed the shorthanded trifecta a few minutes later. Johnston tallied his second shorthanded goal of the game, beating Madore on another breakaway. Scott Arnold potted an empty netter at18:27 to make it 7-4. The Road Warriors added yet another goal in the final minute, this one from Bretton Stamler, to win by a final of 8-4.
Malcolm got the win for Greenville, turning away 20 of 24 shots. Madore took the loss for Cincinnati, stopping 20 of 27.
So here is how the Ranger prospects did:
Kyle Jean (2012 UFA) had 2 assists (both primary) for his 3rd and 4th assists of the playoffs. Jean is now 5-4-9 and was a +1 on 2 shots
Andrew Yogan (2010 4th) had a secondary assist for his 8th assist and is now 5-8-13 for the Road Warriors. Yogan was a +2 on 2 shots.
Michael St. Croix (2011 4th) had a secondary assist for his 8th assist and 12th point of the playoffs. St. Croix took no shots and was even
Josh Nicholls (2012 UFA) was the first star of the game with 2 goals which were his 4th and 5th as he is now 5-7-12. Nicholls had the game winning goal, was a +2 on 3 shots and took 4 minor penalties.
Jeff Malcolm (2013 UFA) stopped 20 out of 24 shots as he improved to 2-1 with a 2.69 goals against and a 0.914 save percentage.
Samuel Noreau (2011 5th) healthy scratch
Jason Missiaen (2011 UFA) was the back up goalie
