ATLANTA (AP) -- Now that Georgia voters have approved a constitutional amendment affirming the state's authority to create special public schools, attention has shifted to putting the new policy in action.
The amendment's passage, by a margin of 58 percent to 42 percent, triggers a separate law re-establishing a seven-person Georgia Charter Schools Commission. That law goes into effect Jan. 1. The original commission was created in 2008, but a 2010 state Supreme Court ruling eliminated it. Tuesday's election effectively overruled the court's interpretation that the Constitution gives control of K-12 public schools to local school boards.
The state Board of Education will choose the members from nominations submitted by the state's top elected officials. All of the nominees must have at least a bachelor's degree.
Gov. Nathan Deal, who headlined the list of supporters pushing the charter schools amendment, said his office began vetting potential nominees for the new commission on Wednesday. House Speaker David Ralston and Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle said they will be ready with their names as well.
The governor will propose a slate for three seats. The speaker and lieutenant governor will have two each.
Deal said this week that he is pleased the amendment passed. He said the amendment and the new law puts education policy where he believes it needs to be. "I don't see any other constitutional amendments out there" for the administration to push, he said.
The commission could begin its work as early as February, meaning new charter schools it creates could open for the 2013-14 school year.
Current law gives local school boards the power to grant or deny applications from operators that want to run the independent schools. The state Board of Education can override the local decision. Charter schools receive public money but are generally free from the rules and regulations of traditional public schools.
Under the new system, a prospective operator proposing a school with a "defined attendance zone" like a traditional neighborhood school will still apply to a local school board. The new commission will hear appeals of those decisions.
More importantly, applicants for a state charter could bypass local school boards altogether. To do so, they would either have to propose a school with a statewide attendance zone or successfully argue that their proposed model warrants the elevated status. The law only outlines the "special characteristics" of a state charter school, giving the commission wide latitude to make the distinction.
The Board of Education could override the commission's decision on state charter schools.
It remains to be seen exactly how the staff support for the commission will play out. State Superintendent John Barge was the most high-profile opponent of the constitutional amendment. The new law states that the commission must be established "in collaboration with" his Department of Education.
Barge said Friday that he has not had any conversations with board members or anyone from Deal's office about re-starting the commission.
Barge argued that a new commission was unnecessary, given that the state board already can override a local board's denial of a charter application. The superintendent and many professional educators' associations also argued that the state charters will siphon money from existing schools.
Mark Peevy, who served as executive director of the original commission, said he would be willing to serve again but does not know whether he will play a role.
Bert Brantley, a campaign for the amendment supporters, said after the outcome Tuesday night, "This is not really a sea change in education policy. It will offer another option for parents and another tool for Georgia's education system."
Brantley said he did believe the new process, when it's in place, will put to rest a key argument of some of the amendment opponents: that Georgia will be overrun with for-profit companies that compete directly with public schools.
Some for-profit school management firms already are involved in existing charter schools, and some of the companies contributed money to the campaign advocating for the amendment.
But, Brantley said, "We have local communities that are happy with their public schools. The demand simply will not be there in those places."

In medieval times, knights would use armor to shield themselves from attacks from their enemies. It has truly been a defensive part of every warrior since then even to our modern day military. It is a much different kind of armor than the metal suits but even sports teams will have a type of armor to protect them. Baseball players have the batting helmet to protect their heads while at bat, soccer players wear shin guards, football players are covered with their own armor of helmets, shoulder pads and even thigh pads. Kurt Rambis of the NBA even wore sports goggles when playing basketball, even though that is all he is known for now. Keeping safe during a physical activity is paramount, no one needs a lawsuit from a preventable injury.
If armor is important to our military and our sports heroes then shouldn't it be important to us too? Why are you without your armor? Get this lighter and you will always be safe and protected with the Vector KGM Armor Dual Flame Lighter. Go forth and conquer the world, or don't get a concussion when you fall off your bicycle and hit your head.

Who are the illiterate of the 21st Century?

"The illiterate of the 21st Century
Bad grammar on the internet can help teachers
Monday, November 7th, 2011 | internet | Comments Off
The internet is a wonderful source of information but it can be misleading at times. This is particularly so when it comes to the use of good grammar.
Gone are the days when only journalists, skilled in the use of beautiful and correct language, were employed to write articles. Nowadays, anyone who has access to the internet is free to publish information on their websites and blogs. This freedom is great, since we have access to more insights and ideas, but often the way in which material is presented leaves much to be desired. Postings on the web are often riddled with grammatical errors – some estimate that errors can be found on more than half of what is published on the web.
Why are there so many errors? The writer may not be writing in his mother tongue or may not know the rules of grammar. In many cases errors are present simply because the author did not check and edit the writing before it was published.
Whatever the reasons for grammatical mistakes, learners must be made aware of the fact that:
Not everything you read online is grammatically correct.
The price you pay for bad grammar is poor communication. Even though learners may incline towards "SMS speak" good grammar is still necessary for clear communication in the professional world where learners will operate after they leave school.Teachers must teach learners the rules of grammar. After alerting learners to the poor grammar they will encounter on the web, teachers can turn the bad usage to their advantage: identify a site where the rules of grammar have not been followed and give learners an assignment to correct the errors.
How can digital tools be used to develop reading skills?
Tuesday, January 4th, 2011 | education, technology | 1 Comment
Teachers lament the fact that learners can't read anymore. Education authorities are in agony over the low literacy rate of learners. These concerns are justifiable. Many learners simply can't read with understanding; they can't write; their spelling is atrocious; their understanding of grammar rules non-existing.
Not only is their reading and writing poor – they can't speak. Have you tried to count how many times a teenager uses the world 'like' in one sentence? They use it as a verb, a noun, an adjective, adverb, preposition and general filler.
The number of learners who fail basic literacy tests is astounding. But those same children are hammering away on computer keyboards and cell phone keypads at great speed. Technology puts power in their hands, but not necessarily knowledge in their heads. It's the same as giving sledge hammers to a troupe of monkeys to crack nuts – one fears the damage they can do to themselves.
You can use the magnetic pull of technology on learners to their advantage. Think about a few possibilities:
Send an e-mail to your learners and ask for a response. Encourage learners to communicate with each other via e-mail and teach them how to use proper language, spelling and grammar.
Write a blog posting and ask learners to respond by means of comments; in turn you can correct their mistakes through your comments. In this way you're using technology to help them acquire basic literacy skills.
Allow learners to browse the internet and ask them to report on what they've read.
Many educational software programs geared towards the development of reading skills include enjoyable activities – learners develop literacy skills while having fun.
A useful tool for developing reading with comprehension skills is talking stories. Books are digitized and displayed on a computer screen or through a data projector. Learners read the words, hear the words and engage with the material through interactions.
These are just a few examples of the many ways in which you can use available technology to solve one of your biggest problems – helping learners to improve their literacy skills.

What is visual literacy?
Thursday, December 9th, 2010 | education, technology | 3 Comments
Visual literacy is one of the new literacies required for successful operation in the twenty-first century – it refers to the ability to communicate by means of images, to interpret them and to make sense of the information conveyed by them.
A picture is worth a thousand words – not many people would argue against this maxim. You can tell a story more succinctly using pictures than words. The problem is that two people may look at a picture and read two different stories in it.
Think about the consequences when people interpret images in different ways:
How will we ever find our way if a standard way to read maps does not exist?
How can statistics be understood if different people interpret graphs each one in their own way?
How will advertisers communicate their message to the masses if diverse meanings are read into the images of their advertisements in magazines, on billboards or on TV?
What will happen if we all interpret road signs differently?
At school visual literacy is particularly important in studying subjects such as science, technology, history, geography and mathematics – all of them rely on visual texts such as maps, diagrams, graphs and tables to convey information.
Yet, little attention is given to the teaching of visual literacy. Within a learning area a teacher may try to explain the meaning of a certain image. For example, when a mathematics teacher explains to a class how to interpret graphs, learners often find it hard to understand. When the significance of an image is taught in isolation within a learning area, learners may not grasp the relevance of the abstract concept. This emphasizes the need for learners to acquire basic literacy skills.
Every citizen of the twenty-first century must know how to read images and make sense of them. Exposure to computers will help learners in this regard. How? Computers change the way in which information is presented – making use of images to a large extent. When learners are exposed to computers and the internet, they are helped to develop visual literacy skills much faster than without it.

How can blogs be used in the classroom?
Saturday, December 4th, 2010 | Blogging, technology | 1 Comment
While reading the blogs of experts and fellow teachers is most beneficial to you, the greatest value of blogs will be experienced when you create your own for use in your classroom. Yes, you must become a blogger!
Here are two of many ways in which you can liven up your teaching by means of blogs:
The most basic method of exploiting a blog in the classroom is by using it as an electronic notice board. Every time you want to inform your class about something, just post it to the blog. These announcements may include homework assignments, handouts, lesson notes, reminders of forthcoming tests and examinations, reminders of due dates for handing in assignments, useful tips for learning, or any other snippet that you may want to share with your class.
When all your learners understand that this is the way you communicate with them there are no more room for misunderstandings. If any of your communications are not clear, learners can leave a question as a comment to which you can respond for the benefit of the whole class. Imagine how much time you will save if you have to explain something only once!
The next step would be to use a classroom blog to develop literacy skills – it is the ideal space for you to work with your learners to improve their reading and writing skills. Post a writing assignment on the blog – for example, instruct them to write hundred words on a topic. Ask the learners to post their responses as comments. You are providing an immediate audience to all learners. Shy learners are often hesitant to make verbal contributions in class – but they may feel more inclined to participate in a blog situation. You can, in turn, comment on their work, either giving commendation, or offering suggestions, or making corrections. Learners could learn from reading each other's written work, even more so when they read your comments on the work of their peers.
The opportunities for using blogs for other classroom applications are limited only by your imagination – and if that fails, look on the internet at what other teachers have done with blogs in their classrooms.

Why must digital literacy be included in the curriculum?
Tuesday, November 16th, 2010 | education | 8 Comments
Digital literacy not only equips learners for future jobs – it also helps them to secure jobs. We are faced with staggering unemployment statistics; anything that can contribute towards finding work needs serious consideration.
The need for digital literacy is not restricted to white collar workers, such as office workers and professional people. Blue collar workers also require digital literacy skills today. In the past these workers performed manual tasks and high literacy skills were not viewed as all that important. Technology has changed all of this. The tools of blue collar workers are now digital ones – this means that they must be digitally literate.
Proof of digital literacy – passing a test or having a certificate – is often a requirement for securing a job. Companies spend huge amounts of money on technology training – it makes economic sense for them to employ people who already have digital literacy skills. You will put your learners in an advantageous position if you equip them with these skills.
Even finding a job requires digital literacy. Many jobs are advertised on the internet and we must learn how to find, read, interpret and respond to these advertisements. A person who is dependent solely on paper based recruitment methods is losing out.
Learners – and teachers too! – need digital skills to present themselves well to prospective employers. Technology can be used to prepare a neat, readable CV. Many employers are using social networks to find background information about job applicants – they look at your Facebook page, your Tweets, and other places where they can discover who you are.
Some social networks – like Linked in – allow you to present yourself professionally and expose you to employment opportunities.
Anyone who participates in digital social networks leaves an indelible digital trail. Everything you write, any comment you make, any picture you post is there for the world to see. A person who recruits staff simply needs to Google your name and a flood of information appears about you.
Learners must know how to present themselves in the digital space and how to protect themselves. What they put on the internet can work for them – or against them!
Digital literacy is no longer optional for job seekers – it is essential.

What is digital literacy?
Monday, November 15th, 2010 | education | 3 Comments
Digital literacy must not be confused with computer literacy.
Computer literacy refers to the ability to use a computer. This includes knowing where to press the buttons to perform elementary operations on the machine, such as switching it on and off and retrieving and storing information. A computer literate person knows basic computer programs, such as word processing, and can use e-mail and the internet.
A first goal for teachers is to become computer literate – the next one is to become digitally literate. Digital literacy is attained when you no longer focus on the technology itself, but use digital devices to perform functions that allow you to survive in a world dominated by technology.
Let's look at an example to illustrate why more than mere computer dexterity is needed:
Information is dumped on you in unimaginable quantities and in different forms: text, graphics, voice, video and combinations of these. Computers and other technologies present this information to you in digital format and computer literacy allows to you access the information sources.
Many lifetimes are insufficient for you to wade through all the information available to you right now. How can you make sense of all this information? Digital literacy will come to your rescue – it will provide you with those skills needed to search for relevant information, locate it, evaluate it, organize it, understand it and then use the results of your efforts to create new knowledge.
The internet is particularly challenging – it is rich in reliable and valuable information but it also contains conflicting and misleading sources. Digital literacy is required to make the right information choices. You also need to be digitally savvy to succeed in putting together all the information you've gathered to create new knowledge.
Teachers, if you have computer facilities in your school, don't fall into the trap of focusing too much on promoting computer literacy as an end in itself. Help learners to become digitally literate, empowering them to function as digital citizens in a world that demands nothing less from them.

What is media literacy?
Wednesday, November 10th, 2010 | education | 3 Comments
How do you react when you see a TV advertisement about a sensational new brand of toothpaste that promises that it will help to make your teeth gleaming white and will make them sparkle like marble?
If you rush out to the nearest supermarket to buy a dozen tubes you're doing exactly what the advertiser wants you to do.
Would it not be wiser to pause and first ask some questions about the product?
What makes this product different?
How does it work – in fact, does it really work?
When the advertisement says, "it helps", how much does it actually help?
A person who asks questions like these has achieved a measure of media literacy.
Media literacy is the ability to analyze messages brought to you by news media and then to make decisions based on a critical evaluation of the information. A person may be literate in the sense of being able to read and write but be rather naïve when it comes to the media. A media literate person has the ability to analyze, interpret and evaluate what is seen on TV, the internet or other information sources.
Media literacy does not only help you when you're confronted by advertisements. The media tries to shape your thinking in different ways – for example, politicians use it to spread propaganda about their ideologies. Media literacy enables you to understand what is presented to you, to read between the lines and to understand the significance of what is not being said.
The media hopes to shape the opinion and actions of people – it tries to act on you. Media literate people do not allow themselves to be acted upon – they have learned the art of acting on the media to their own advantage.
Technology brings the media right into the homes and pockets of you and your learners. Social media – such as Twitter and Facebook – are new delivery mechanisms of the media, made possible by technology; so are blogs and online news bulletins. Neither you, nor your learners, can be called literate if you have not acquired the skills to use and interpret information presented to you by these new channels.
If your school's prescribed curriculum does not yet make provision for teaching media literacy, you need to work it in somewhere during class time – perhaps as part of life orientation or language lessons.
Media literacy can only be taught if you know the technology behind modern media … and if your learners have access to technology.

What are the "new literacies"?
Monday, November 8th, 2010 | education | 8 Comments
Literacy refers to a person's ability to read and write. The quality of being literate separates the educated from the uneducated. Those who can't read and write are illiterate – uneducated.
Those who can read and write are literate – but are so on different levels. How well you can read and write – and how much of it you've done – determines how literate you are. At the top of the pile are those who produce literary masterpieces such as Charles Dickens, Salman Rushdie and Kathy Lette.
In the minds of most people, literacy implies two things: reading and writing – both are about words on paper. This type of literacy is the pre-occupation of schools. Much time is spent on developing handwriting, learning to spell, studying the rules of grammar, and developing the ability to read with comprehension.
With the advent of information and communication technology (ICT), a literate person needs more than the ability to read and write. You now also have to understand cryptic SMS communications, embellished with emoticons. You must be able to respond clearly, succinctly and immediately. News comes to you in different ways – internet news bulletins, blogs and Twitter feeds – and much of it is in picture or video format.
The new ways in which we now receive and respond to information demand new literacies – abilities beyond reading and writing. In the past learners came to school with a pencil and a writing book in their satchels – these were their literacy tools. Today learners come to school with cell phones and other digital devices in their backpacks. Clearly, our definition of literacy must accommodate these changes.
New literacies take many forms, and different names have been given. Three important ones are:
As technology continues its rapid progress, more of these literacies will appear. In the mean time, where does all of this leave the teacher?
If you were educated during a time when literacy was measured against the ability to read and write, you have some catching up do to before you can successfully introduce your learners to new literacies.

How can an interactive whiteboard be used to improve literacy?
Sunday, January 10th, 2010 | IWBs | 6 Comments
The inability to read is one of the greatest problems that education is facing – children simply can't read with comprehension. And when they can't read, they battle with the rest of their schoolwork. Learning resources given to learners – including textbooks and the internet – are wasted on them if they can't read and understand what they are reading.
An interactive whiteboard is a perfect tool to help you to improve the literacy rate of your learners. It allows you to engage in a variety of activities, which will improve their reading skills. Talk to your peers or look on the internet for ideas, and let your interactive whiteboard – and your imagination – do the rest.
The look-say-cover-write-check method is used by many teachers with great success to teach learners to recognize words and word patterns. This can be done with boards and cards, but an interactive whiteboard makes the process much easier. With little effort you can prepare an activity which will allow you to do the following:
- Write a word on the board and allow learners to look at it.
- Say the word aloud to the learners. Let them repeat the word aloud.
- Cover the word. Most interactive whiteboards come with software that allows you to slide a colored strip over the word to hide it.
- Let the learners write the word – if you are teaching an individual or a small group of learners, the word can be written on the interactive whiteboard – otherwise let them write the word in their workbooks.
- Reveal the word by sliding the cover away. Let the learners check if the word they wrote down is correct.
Difficult? Not at all. In fact, it is very simple. And that is the power of the interactive whiteboard – it makes activities which can have extraordinary results simple to perform. With a board in your classroom you can repeat this activity throughout the day, whenever appropriate – in this way literacy training becomes a part of your daily activities.
The unique features of an interactive whiteboard, such as drag-and-drop, hide-and-reveal, and allowing touch interactivity, make this device an ideal tool to improve literacy.

Central Heating Not Working? Here Are 6 Common Problems & Solutions
As the UK winter fast approaches and cold weather begins to settle in, the last thing you and your family need is to find your central heating not working. Whether it's banging or clanging pipes in the night; cool, seemingly useless radiators that don't heat up or a faulty timer that doesn't ever seem to perform; gas central heating problems can be difficult to endure. So, you probably want to get in a boiler contractor to fix things as soon as possible. That said, professional repair isn't always necessary, and to help you save time and do everything you can before calling out for an expert, we've outlined some of the more common central heating problems and solutions that could be keeping you from getting the heat and warmth you're paying for.
Common Central Heating Problems & Solutions
- Human Error – sometimes it might appear that your central heating isn't working simply because of a mistake you or a repairman or someone else in the home might have made with the switches and settings. First of all, check the pilot light is switched on. Next, check that the thermostat is turned up to the required temperature. If both of those are fine, see if the pressure is high enough on your boiler – it might need turning up to ensure water is being heated properly. Finally, make sure the timer settings haven't been altered, as these can be changed easily simply by following the provided instruction manual. It may sound silly, but checking these before looking into fixing a boiler could save you a lot of time and money in potential repairs or call-out services.
- Trapped Air in Radiators – if the hot water is working fine but heat simply isn't being emitted from various radiators in the home (or if they have cold spots in some parts and not others), then you might simply have a case of trapped air, one of the most common forms of central heating radiator problems. This can easily be dealt with, simply by bleeding your radiators. All this involves is the loosening of the valve on the side of the fitting, and letting out any excess air until you catch the overflow of hot water with a damp cloth – a sign that the trapped air has been successfully removed!
- Sediment Build-Up – if bleeding your radiators proves unsuccessful, then you might have a significant accumulation of sediment and sludge in the fittings that's preventing hot water from circulating properly. Unfortunately the only real solution for this central heating problem is to hire a plumber to carry out a professional 'power-flush' of your system.
- Faulty Timer/ Control Panel – sometimes you might find that your radiators are working erratically, and that every now and then your boiler does fire-up successfully – just not always when you need it. If this is the case, then you may have central heating timer problems. This can usually be solved by simply pushing the reset button, but if this doesn't work you should call the helpline of the boiler manufacturer to go through any instructions you might have missed.
- Leaky Pipe(s) – if you hear pipes banging, clanging or even ticking throughout the night, then it might be that you have a central heating leak in one of the major parts of your system. If you don't mind peeling up a few floorboards you could check to see if it's just a case of the pipe-work being installed too close to another surface (hence the cause of the banging), but if you need an immediate repair or proper structural redesign then you me be better off waiting until a professional plumber comes and takes a look for you.
- Old Boiler – if, after testing for all the above, you still have problems with central heating, then it might simply be that you have an old, tired, outdated boiler that needs replacing. After all, they don't last forever, and only installing a new boiler provides the streamlined energy-efficiency that is guaranteed to keep you and your family warmer for longer.

This is the 20th in a series of team-by-team breakdowns that will run on SportingNews.com before the start of training camp.
Reporting date: July 29
The modern Redskins are spring champions and winners of free agency — and not much else.
Since Daniel Snyder bought the franchise in 1999, it has one division title and two playoff victories, accolades hardly worth the megamillions Washington has burned through trying to get the best players of the day.
The Redskins hurled a $100 million contract at defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth when free agency opened, juggling other contracts along the way. They might have improved themselves at Haynesworth's position, but their offensive line grows more ancient.
An 8-8 team a year ago, the Redskins appeared happy to just tread water this year. In the offseason, they didn't get any new tools for quarterback Jason Campbell and showed little confidence in him by trying to trade for Jay Cutler and then trying to trade up in the draft for Mark Sanchez.
Offense: The Redskins want to run the ball, but Clinton Portis faded down the stretch in '08. He's a high-mileage player for his age — he turns 28 on Sept. 1 — and lacks a downfield burst at this stage in his career. What's more, there's no change-of-pace back to help. Campbell plays so cautiously he can hold down his interception total, but he does it at the expense of making big plays.
The Redskins lack the ability to make explosive plays and will need production from the young receivers they drafted last year (Devin Thomas, Malcolm Kelly) after neither contributed as rookies.
Campbell begins his third season as the starter without a contract for next year, and that seems to be a sore point with him. It also might speak to the team's confidence in him. Campbell isn't a touch passer, but the Redskins don't throw downfield much either. He threw only 13 touchdown passes in '08 despite 506 pass attempts. The six interceptions and 38 sacks prove his reluctance to take a chance.
Defense: Coordinator Greg Blache believes in sticking to assignments and gap responsibilities. That will make Haynesworth's integration into this scheme fascinating, as the Titans allowed him to penetrate and make plays after years of trying to bend him to their system.
The Redskins don't make a lot of big plays. Sacks and takeaways are hard to come by, though they are stubborn against the run. They have two holes on the left side that need fixing: End and strongside linebacker. First-round pick Brian Orakpo might fill both spots at different times.
Haynesworth could be a difference-maker with the way he crushes the pocket and shortens the distance to the quarterback. The Redskins also might move him to left end in passing situations to maximize a pass rush. That also underscores the Redskins' lack of a true left end.
They lost Demetric Evans in free agency but brought back Phillip Daniels, who is 36 and missed '08 with a knee injury. They released Jason Taylor after one injury-plagued season, though he was miscast playing at the point of attack. Orakpo might be a swing player here, moving up to rush in passing situations while spending the first two downs at linebacker.
How much of an impact will Albert Haynesworth have?
"If one player can change a lot of things, he's usually a guy that hits the quarterback. Was he worth what he got? I don't think so. But when watching him last season, he was pretty aggressive and he could disrupt a lot of plays."
— CBS analyst Phil Simms
An opponent breaks down the Redskins:
"When you think of them and everything they've tried — buying talent, then trying to draft — — that's a .500 football team. The Cutler thing makes you wonder how Campbell will respond.
"From the offensive standpoint, Clinton is still a pretty dangerous runner. I thought the offensive line broke down around him. Most of those guys are in double digits in years in the league. I think they're just waiting for Campbell to make his move. He's a middle-of-the-pack starting quarterback. He's not a top-10 guy, not in wins. Maybe a second year in a row in the same scheme helps him, some stability.
"Jim Zorn operates under one of the more difficult situations in the league. Not the most difficult. You think of Oakland and Dallas first, but Washington is in the top three with the owner. You can't get out from underneath that.
"I think the players like playing for him and the coaches like coaching for him. Haynesworth is going to help them, but there's a lot that comes with him and Tennessee did not go out of their way to keep him."
The Redskins are a mediocre team. They usually bounce between 9-7 and 7-9, so last year's 8-8 record was no fluke. The offensive line is past ripe, the quarterback has not matured and the receivers are in transition. They rely too heavily on Portis on offense, and on defense, they'll bank on Haynesworth to elevate everyone's level.
Washington needs to make more big plays on offense, force turnovers on defense and shore up its special teams. Even with all that, this team will be hard-pressed to make the playoffs in the competitive NFC East.

All commercial businesses are in it to make a dollar, but they go about it in so many different ways. Some retailers (and airlines, banks, hotels, food services, etc.) see the customer as a money sponge from which they can — and should — wring every cent through consumer-antagonizing fees and policies. And on the other end of the spectrum are companies that keep their customers happy and coming back with policies that favor the consumer. [More]
Which Companies' Policies Do You Love & Which Do You Loathe?
Who Made Consumer Reports' First-Ever Naughty & Nice List?
While Santa and his pointy-eared, non-union laborers toil away at the North Pole, the editors of our more famous sibling publication Consumer Reports have compared their notes on a wide variety of companies' policies on everything from guarantees to fees to refunds and distilled it down to the best and worst of the lot in their first-ever Naughty & Nice Holiday Shopping List.

Amber and Phillip Holcomb / submitted photo
When I was 12 years old, my father (Phillip Holcomb) and I spent an entire week together down at my grandparents farm. Being one of six kids, I cherished the one-on-one time I had with him. He taught me the ins and outs of cutting, raking, baling and hauling hay. Not only did I learn how to drive the 1960 Ford tractor, but Pop told me that I did a great job raking the field. To this day I still look back on that summer and smile and remember the lessons my father taught me, not knowing that he was instilling a great work ethic, confidence and dedication in everything I do in life. Love you, Pop!

I am not very familiar with the proposed West Hayden Island annexation except to know that it involves many issues - the least of which is the environmental aspect. The mayor - he has a new proposal - is in a controlled spin attempting to push the annexation through before Xmas. [Running out of time and facing criticism, Portland Mayor Sam Adams outlines schedule for West Hayden Island annexation].
From my read of the situation it seems that it is only the mayor and the Port of Portland that is ready to toss aside the concerns of the environment and of the local communities. The mayor says his "new proposal will include updated finances and his "best thinking" on the controversial plan."
But he has had 4 years to screw the pouch - why doesn't he just move on? In the read of the Oregonian article - it is clear the mayor has - typical of Portland development efforts - tried the 'participation' trick whereby a citizen's committee is formed to mimic the city hall line.
Yet this committee appears to have recognized that they have been used.
"Unfortunately, it seems as though we are going to end up with the (the committee's) 'recommendations' being nothing more than letters from each ... member and a long list of straw poll votes on questions that are almost always undetailed, lacking context or relationships with other votes, and without cost figure(s)." [Committee member Chris Hathaway].
One wonders if the mayor's new job will come about or be enhanced if he continues to push the Port's objective. It is easy to doubt this mayor's sincerity and creditably. But to give the mayor some credit - he seems to work better under direction and supervision. His time working for Mayor Katz is an example.
Otherwise he is a loose cannon without the ability to form cogent thoughts.
Otherwise he is a loose cannon without the ability to form cogent thoughts.
One can only hope - that is all Portlanders have at times - that the other council members who will be with us next year will turn a blind eye and deaf ears to the mayor and his proposal which conveniently enough hasn't been formulated for public review. He wouldn't want anyone to be informed.
An excellent perspective, albeit biased, is that of the Audubon Society of Portland.
"West Hayden Island is one of Portland's most important natural areas. Its 826 acres of bottomland hardwood forest, wetlands, meadows, floodplains and shallow water habitat near the confluence of the Willamette and Columbia Rivers provide irreplaceable habitat for federally listed salmon and imperiled bird, bat and amphibian species.It is an amazing place where you can see nesting bald eagles and rapidly disappearing species like pileated woodpeckers and western meadowlarks. It is located next to one of the largest manufactured-home, affordable-housing communities in Oregon.However, the Port wants to take 300 acres and convert them to a marine industrial port facility that isn't needed and which will irrevocably harm the environment and the local community. The development will clear-cut the heart out of the wildlife area and leave behind fragmented, disturbed, edge habitat as well as significantly increased pollution, increased traffic congestion, and a permanently damaged local community."

|Semi-supervised Remote Sensing Image
Classification with Cluster Kernels
Devis Tuia and Gustavo Camps-Valls
IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Letters, 6 (2), 224-228, 2009.
semi-supervised SVM is presented for the classification of remote
sensing images. The method exploits the wealth of unlabeled samples for
regularizing the training kernel representation locally by means of
cluster kernels. The method learns
a suitable kernel directly from the image, and thus avoids assuming a priori signal relations by using
a predefined kernel structure. Good results are obtained in image
classification examples when few labeled samples are available. The
method scales almost linearly with the number of unlabeled samples and
provides out-of-sample predictions.

ANSI/IICRC S500 Water Damage Restoration
Standard and Reference Guide for Professional Water Damage Restoration (2006)
BSR-IICRC S500 draft Standard and Reference Guide was available for the first public review from March 29 to May 13, 2013, for the second public review from December 06, 2013 to January 20, 2014, for the third public review from August o1 to 31, 2014, for the fourth public review from March 06 to April 05, 2015, and for the fifth public review from June 26 to July 26, 2015. All comments submitted as part of the public review periods have been reviewed and addressed by the Consensus Body, and responses have been sent out. The S500 Consensus Body is currently reviewing the draft for final editing prior to submission to ANSI, and publication.
ANSI/IICRC S500-2006 Standard for Professional Water Damage Restoration is a procedural standard. It is based on reliable restoration principles, research and practical experience. In addition, there has been extensive consultation and information obtained from numerous sources. These sources include, but are not necessarily limited to the scientific community, international, national and regional trade associations serving the professional restoration industry, chemical formulators and equipment manufacturers, cleaning and restoration training schools, restoration service companies, the insurance industry, allied trades persons and others with specialized experience. It is subject to further revision as developments occur in technology, testing and processing procedures.
ANSI/IICRC S500-2006 Standard and Reference Guide chapters and sections include: Building and Material Science; Psychrometry by Definition; Psychrometry and the Science of Drying; Limitations, Complexities, Complications and Conflicts; Structural Restoration; HVAC; Contents Evaluation Restoration and Remediation; and Large or Catastrophic Restoration. Also, note that Carpet Disengagement and Reinstallation has been moved back into the Appendix.
ANSI/IICRC S500-2006 provides a specific set of practical standards for water damage restoration. It does not attempt to teach comprehensive water damage restoration procedures; rather, it provides the foundation for basic principles of proper restoration practices. ANSI/IICRC S500-2006 does not attempt to include exhaustive performance characteristics or standards for the manufacture or installation of structural components, materials and contents (personal property).
ANSI/IICRC S500-2006 Standard and Reference Guide is presented using a two-part format: the standard itself and a supplementary reference guide. The procedural standard is featured in this first section, supported by the reference guide in the second section. The intent is to use the principles outlined in the reference guide as a tool to better understand and apply the standard itself. However, the reference guide is not considered part of this standard.
Click here to view the S500 Consensus Body White paper on Airmover Calculations in Structural Drying Projects. This paper assists in understanding the value of area-method air mover sizing calculations to achieve appropriate airflow on water damage restoration projects.The S500 Consensus Body Chair is Mickey Lee, and Vice Chair is Chris Taylor.
Close-Out Pricing on S500: IICRC is offering the ANSI/IICRC S500: 2006 Standard and Reference Guide on Professional Water Damage Restoration at a discounted price of $65 per copy till such time as the revised Standard is approved and published. To purchase IICRC Standards click here.

Frequently Asked Questions: Planning
Click a question to reveal the answer.
Planning FAQs
Q: Can we go straight to the Council with our hedge problem?
Q: My hedge dispute has been running for years. Am I expected to go through all this again?
Q: Who is responsible for the boundary of my property?
Q: How quickly will my planning application be determined?
Q: Who will be consulted when I submit a planning application?
Q: Who will make the decision on my application?
Q: What happens if I make a comment on or objection to a planning application?
Q: On what grounds may I comment on or object to an application?
Q: I think that a building should be listed. What should I do?
Q: Does planning permission override everything else?
In short, no. Planning permission does not give you the right to enter land, or to carry out works on land, that is not in your ownership. Planning Permission is only the approval of your proposal by the Council as Local Planning Authority. You will still need to obtain the land owner's permission. In any event it would be courteous if, where possible, you talked to neighbours about your proposal before submitting your application. Planning permission does not affect anyone else's rights.
You may also need to address any legal covenants, rights of access or other private legal matters. You will almost certainly require Building Regulations approval or need to perform the necessary requirements of the Party Wall Act. Commerical premises may also require further licences.
Q: What is outline planning permission?
Q: What will the Council expect us to have done to sort out our hedge dispute between ourselves?
Q: What sorts of hedge complaint can the Council look at?
Q: The hedge has got some gaps in it that allow light through. Does this mean that I can't complain to the Council about it?
Q: Can I complain to the Council about individual trees?
Q: Does the hedge have to be on the boundary line or in next door's garden?
Q: What's a semi-evergreen tree or shrub?
Q: What sort of hedge related problems can I complain about?
Q: I'm worried that the hedge will cause subsidence in my home. Can I complain about this?
Q: Do I have to pay the Council to consider my hedge complaint? If so, how much?
Q: Will I get my money back if the Council uphold my hedge complaint?
Q: Can the Council help me get my costs back from my neighbours?
Q: What if I cannot afford to pay the fee to complain about my neighbour's hedge?
Q: How do I make a complaint about my neighbour's hedge?
Q: What will the Council do with my hedge complaint?
Q: This appears overly complicated. Surely all it needs is for the Council to go and get evidence to show the hedge is a nuisance and then order the offender to cut it down?
Q: How long will I have to wait for the Council to decide my hedge complaint?
Q: If the Council uphold my complaint, will the hedge have to be removed? That would solve the problem once and for all.
Q: What is there to make sure my neighbour keeps the hedge at its new height? Do I have to complain again, and pay a fee?
Q: Does the Council's remedial notice allow me to cut my neighbour's hedge if I think they're dragging their heels?
Q: What happens if my neighbour doesn't cut the hedge when they're meant to?
Q: Is there anything I can do if I don't like the Council's decision about my hedge complaint?
Q: How do I find out about Tree Preservation Orders?
Q: Can I appeal if against a grant of planning permission?
Q: Is my property at risk of flooding?

text: 0 Movies Back to article: Hammer Horror revisited: Dracula, Frankenstein and more in pictures 0 Previous Next Let Me In (2010): "Adapted from the book and screenplay by John Ajvide Lindqvist, Matt Reeves' retelling of Let The Right One In is a masterpiece of quiet dread as well as a razor-sharp exploration of the agonies of adolescence. Relocating the action from suburban Sweden to suburban New Mexico retains the story's sense of isolation and alienation and the film's ending is as dark as they come."

Chess Club 2011
October 31, 2011
The unfortunate stereotype of kids who are in the Chess Club is that they're nerdy people who have no lives, but that isn't the case at all here at MHS. As Mr. Bunnell, the sponsor for Chess Club says, "Many people think of chess as just a game, but it teaches valuable skills that can help all students–critical thinking, strategy, and planning ahead. Chess is the perfect game, which is why it's endured for so long."
Every Wednesday, all types of students come to Chess Club, and they all have their own reasons for why they play. When asked what interested him in joining the Chess Club, Justin Morrell, MHS senior, answered, "I've played for ten years, and when I finally saw a challenge, I joined the club." Chess is one of the few school organizations for people who want to take on challenges that make them have to really think. Other chess players such as Patrick Greene say that the best thing about Chess Club is, "You can play with people as intelligent as you are."
So, if you are thinking about joining Chess Club, they meet every Wednesday in Mr. Bunnell's room. Check it out!

Bench bombers not afraid of the big shots
Here's the thing to remember about J.R. Smith: Whenever you think he's as cold as Buffalo in January … well, he knows that. Whenever you wonder if he's ever going to make another shot — or if he's ever going to take another good shot — he's asking himself the same thing, only with even choicer language. "You always have to remember something," Smith said last night. "In basketball you aren't going to make every shot." He paused a beat. Read More: New York Post
La Guardia security knife scare
A Manhattan woman carried a switchblade knife through a La Guardia Airport checkpoint yesterday — after a TSA agent spotted it in her purse as she passed through an X-ray machine, police sources told The Post. The incredible screw-up by the Transportation Security Administration happened at 10:05 a.m. as Kelly Polonus, 24, headed to her Charlotte, NC-bound flight, the sources said. When TSA Agent Michael Sanchez saw the weapon, he told a colleague to search her bags. Read More: New York Post
Local DAs Push For Home Visiting Program To Prevent Child Abuse
The district attorneys of Brooklyn, Queens, and Staten Island launched Monday a statewide campaign against child abuse. A report released by Brooklyn District Attorney Charles Hynes found at least 77,000 children in the state suffered abuse and neglect in 2010, and 114 of those children died. The study also found abuse survivors are 30 percent more likely to become violent criminals and more likely to abuse their own children. According to the report, voluntary home visiting services can reduce abuse and neglect by as much as 50 percent. Read More: NY1

Subway restaurants have been closed for health violations more than any other chain in the city
Some Subway sandwich shops may want to change their slogan from "eat fresh." The chain's outlets were shuttered more often by city health inspectors than any other major franchise, a Daily News analysis of Health Department data found. And while it was unclear if Jared's fabled weight loss was due to an upset stomach, Subway stores were shut down a whopping 55 times in the last five years. Read More: Daily News
Video shows teens playing 'chicken' with subway trains, risking their lives
Teenagers playing chicken with subway trains aren't showing pluck — just stupidity, an MTA spokesman said Tuesday. "Playing on or near subway tracks is one of the most dangerous things anyone can do," Metropolitan Transportation Authority spokesman Charles Seaton said. Seaton made the comments after a YouTube video surfaced showing a group of kids at the No. 3 line's Kingston Ave. station jumping to the tracks and then climbing back to the platform as a train pulls in.

Kiss Me, I'm Irish! Celebrate St.Patrick's Day Like St. Patrick.
St.Patrick's Day is one of the oddest holidays we celebrate in America.
Generally, there is a parade and the bars are open by 7 A.M. The highlight for me is all the cute Irish women wearing "Kiss Me – I'm Irish" buttons (truth be told I've never gotten the Luck of the Irish Kiss). As Yogis, we struggle on St.Patrick's day. We want to "Live In The Moment" as Yeah Dave tells us to, yet we know there is something wrong with drinking right before the first yoga class of the day ends.
Who was St. Patrick anyway?
St.Patrick was a British guy (now we know why we drink—technically he was from Wales), who was captured and brought to Ireland as a slave. Eventually he was freed and returned to his family, he became a priest and dedicated his life to the Church.
It is here where we find the true meaning of St.Patrick's day. Take this as an opportunity to drink for all of those who are enslaved and celebrate the freedom you have. Then, take social action and actively work—like St.Patrick did—for the people.
Below are some organizations you can start with. And if you happen to see me,
Kiss me, I'm Irish!
How can you get involved in making a change this St.Patrick's Day?
- Support The Imagine Foundation, start by liking their Facebook Page! Researching and Fighting Human Trafficking in Ohio.
- Maybe you are ready for Seane Corn and Off The Matt's 2013 Seva Challenge—Human Trafficking in India.
- Support The Nepal Orphans Home—rescuing orphans in Nepal from Slavery and giving them a home and an education.
- Check out The Africa Yoga Project—actively creating yoga teachers in Nairobi and creating mentorships with teachers in the U.S. (Freeing people!)
- The Urban Lotus Youth Yoga project—local to Cleveland—teaching Yoga to kids in lock-up and in schools.
- The Yoga Freedom Project—Using Yoga as a healing tool for survivors of sex trafficking.

Amen. On a related note, here's my Slave Patty's Day post from last year! http://www.elephantjournal.com/2011/03/happy-slav…
[…] my grandmother passed. To say she was proud to be Irish would be a huge understatement. Growing up, each time we would visit with her, she would remind me […]

The Skin Food Creamy Cheese Mask Review
If you told me last month I'd be smearing cheese all over my face and loving it, I'd probably have called you a liar.
You see, the Muse hates cheese.
Unless it's melted I'm not eating it. I have alot of food quirks and cheese happens to be one. My x-boyfriend would tell you that the sun, moon, earth, and stars revolve around a slab of cheese but I have no such feelings for the stuff and would happily do without. Mind you I like grilled cheese and I like pizza but that's all melted….the moral of this story is I will NOT eat cheese unless it's been melted.
This is the story of my life.
Cheese not being in my top ten list as it is you could imagine my horror when I came across The Skin Food Creamy Cheese Mask. Does that sound down right disgusting? Simply rancid! Who wants to go around smearing cheese on their face?!
I've no idea how I talked myself into it being a good idea to purchase this but purchase it I did and it changed my idea of cheese forever.
