continued The goal behind Common Core standards is to move schools across the nation away from rote learning to a writing-intensive curriculum that emphasizes problem-solving skills, as well as to standardize learning from state to state. Tests are graded on a scale of 1 to 4; levels 3 and 4 indicate proficiency. Statewide, 31.1 percent of students in grades three through eight met or exceeded the ELA proficiency standard, while 31 percent met or exceeded the math proficiency standard. Last year, those numbers were closer to 55 percent, but state education officials said the tests are so different that they shouldn't be compared.
"These proficiency scores do not reflect a drop in performance, but rather a raising of standards to reflect college and career readiness in the 21st century," State Education Commissioner John King said. "I understand these scores are sobering for parents, teachers and principals. It's frustrating to see our children struggle. But we can't allow ourselves to be paralyzed by frustration; we must be energized by this opportunity. The results we've announced are not a critique of past efforts; they're a new starting point on a roadmap to future success."
Common Core forum
And on Nov. 18, in Baldwinsville, Assemblyman Will Barclay (R-120th district) held a forum to discuss the Common Core curriculum and its current implementation. The forum, which was planned for two hours, ran well into five as several groups, including district superintendents, members of the SUNY system, local chambers of commerce, school administrators, teachers, education union representatives, parents, parent-teacher-student advocacy groups and students themselves, came from across the region to present their views and concerns about the Common Core.
Of the many views expressed, common sentiments were voiced from the groups addressing the panel. They agreed with the principle of the Common Core curriculum: to encourage higher standards in education to prepare students to be a competitive work force in a global economy and the creation of a national standardized curriculum that is the same from state to state, for each grade level across the country. To have high standards and a prepared workforce was considered a positive aspiration. Where groups found fault with the Common Core Curriculum was the way in which the New York State Education Department forced the rollout of the program.

BYU basketball: Utah Utes impress Cougars with a thorough beating
Coach Dave Rose's BYU basketball team has played a lot of high-caliber opponents already this season, including ranked clubs Iowa State, Wichita State and UMass.
But it would be hard to find a Cougar opponent that played better against them than the way the Utah Utes did on Saturday night in front of 13,733 fans at the Huntsman Center. Utah strolled to a 81-64 win, jumping to a big early lead and never letting the Cougars (8-4) find momentum to stage a comeback.
"That's a good team," Rose said. "They are 8-1 for a reason."
The Utes are now 9-1, and criticism that they've played a soft schedule will cease, at least anything coming out of Provo.
"They are a good team, and they were the better team tonight," said BYU guard Kyle Collinsworth. "They beat us in every way, so props to them."
Asked what went wrong for the Cougars, Collinsworth deadpanned: "Everything."
Basically, the Cougars couldn't make a shot to save their lives. They credited Utah's defense, but said they also missed a lot of shots they normally make. BYU shot 31.4 percent in the first half when it fell behind 42-29 and finished shooting just 32.8 percent.
"We didn't look like ourselves for most of the game," said Tyler Haws, who led the Cougars with 14 points but was just 3 of 11 from the field. Haws, Matt Carlino and Collinsworth combined to go 9 of 37 from the field.
The Cougars got away with horrible shooting in last year's 61-58 win over Utah, but not on this night. What is it about playing the Utes that seems to cause them to come out tight?
"No, we don't get tense," Haws bristled. "We don't get tense against anyone. We come out and battle. It is just that we didn't hit shots tonight, and we didn't feel like ourselves."
The Utes served notice that this wasn't going to be another BYU runaway from the start, jumping to a quick 10-2 lead and forcing Rose into a timeout before the first media timeout. The catalyst was Jordan Loveridge, the sophomore from West Jordan whom Rose and the Cougars desperately wanted out of high school.
Loveridge's 3-pointer with 13:01 remaining in the half gave the Utes a 21-6 lead, and the Cougars' shoulders began to slump. That gave the only Utahn who starts on Utah's roster 15 points, and although Loveridge didn't do much offensively after that, the damage was done.
"We never really found ourselves," Rose said. "Our shooting percentage was so bad that guys tried to take it on themselves to get a little too deep with the ball, or get to the rim and score."
The Cougars desperately tried to get the deficit under 10 before halftime, but the Utes scored on their last two possessions of the half, an inside bucket by Jeremy Olsen and Delon Wright's athletic outback.
In the second half, after Dakarai Tucker's 3-pointer gave the Utes a 50-31 lead, the Utes went six straight possessions without making a field, and scoring just a single point, but the Cougars couldn't take advantage.
A free throw by Eric Mika cut the deficit to 51-38, but the Cougars got no closer.
Later, Mika was assessed a flagrant-2 foul for a high foul on Dallin Bachynski, and sent to the locker room with 12 points and 10 rebounds.
"He made a play [on the ball] and ended up hitting [Bachynski] in the face, so it was a flagrant-2," Rose said.
BYU's other bugaboo was free throws, again. The Cougars made just 17 of 31 freebies, including some front ends when they were trying to mount a comeback.
"We weren't in synch," Rose said. "A lot of that had to do with the atmosphere. A lot had to do with their athleticism and length."

This is probably my favorite Michigan waterfall. Sure, there are bigger and taller falls, but none quite as charming if you ask me.
The hike to this falls is grueling. You have to battle steep rock climbs, treacherous hills, biting insects, and a score of wild animals just to get to the thing. On our way to this one, I was horribly maimed by a ferocious black bear, but if you think I was bad, you should have seen him! Youch! Despite losing 10 gallons of blood, a leg, and both my hands, I trudged on, ever ready with the camera to bring back the image.
OK, yeah, that didn't happen. Actually it's only a 100 yard hike from the parking lot to get to this little gem. 😀
Once there, I (of course) didn't care for the platform view, so up and over and down to creek for this view of the falls. Hope you like it too!
About Our Prints....
We currently sell both individual prints and completely framed and ready-to-hang prints. Our framed prints are professionally matted, mounted and framed.
Here's a sample of our basic mat and frame:
Framed prints purchased though us are generally a better deal than taking a loose print to your local frame shop since we have a pretty significant discount that we pass along to you. When you receive your print in the mail, it's ready to hang and even comes with the hardware for doing so.
Please note that if you'd like another type of print (canvas for example) or another frame style, we can certainly accommodate you, just use the contact us page and we'll customize the artwork to make it perfect for your home.
Our framed prints are guaranteed for as long as you own them against wear, fading, or deterioration. Loose prints are also guaranteed for as long as you own them provided you have them framed under glass using archival materials. We want you to LOVE your prints, so we offer a refund as long as the print or framed print is returned in like new condition within 30 days.
All prints are signed in one of the lower corners (usually the right hand corner).
Delivery time varies and depends on a number of factors, but we always strive to get your prints delivered to you as quickly as possible. I personally inspect each and every piece before it leaves our building. If I'm out of town taking more photos, it can cause a delay, but a good rule of thumb is that a loose print will ship within 2 weeks and a framed print within 3 weeks. That time is significantly shorter if I'm in town at the time the order is placed. If you need a print done by a certain date, you can contact me and I'll be happy to give you an estimated delivery date.
We are now offering quantity discounts if you are interested in two or more pieces. Simply contact me with the sizes and names of the images you are interested in and I will be happy to get you a quote. The more pieces you order, the better the discount.
Thanks for your interest!

Love pictures taken in Michigan. My ancestors came from there, nice to see what they may have. Hard to decide which ones to put on my desktop. Would love to see these in person. Peggy
Much more impressive than the waterfall in my back yard pond! Like.
Hello! Just want to say thank you for this interesting article! =) Peace, Joy.
The falls look just like they did the last time I saw them: Marvelous. Thanks for sharing.

The United Food and Commercial Workers, or UFCW, Local 7 union is locked in a months-long battle over wages and benefits with Safeway and King Soopers.
Unionized Safeway workers in Colorado have voted to authorize a strike, but workers cannot walk out without permission from the UFCW international union.
UFCW Local 7 spokeswoman Laura Chapin told the Longmont Times-Call newspaper on October 2nd, "We do have strike sanction from the international, which is key,".
The international union tells 9Wants to Know investigative reporter Kyle Clark that such sanction is under consideration but has not been granted.
A letter from the international union to local branch on September 15th gives Colorado workers the ability to vote on a "final offer" from the supermarkets, but makes clear the local union "must receive final authorization" before beginning a strike.
Several union members tell 9Wants to Know that UFCW Local 7 President Ernie Duran Jr. told workers that strike sanction had been given.
Duran is contesting the results of a recent union election that unseated him amidst allegations of nepotism and inappropriate spending. Duran and two of his children, who hold key union posts, deny any wrongdoing.
A Nov. 6th letter from the president of the international union, posted on UFCW Local 7's website, urges the local union to seek a "last, best, and final offer" from King Soopers and Safeway.
Union leaders maintain that offer was obtained and voted down by workers in October, satisfying the parent union's requirements.
Strike sanction still was not granted.
A statement on UFCW Local 7's website by a frequently-quoted union member accuses the international union of stalling.
"The International needs to respect our votes and give us the final sanction as soon as possible," wrote union member Arlys Carlson. "We have delivered our part of the equation, and now the International needs to deliver theirs. The International is plauing games with our lives, our futures and our families' needs."
Another posting on the local union's website urged the international union to approve a strike before the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays.

Divestment Proceeds Boost Odfjell's Net Profits
November 9, 2011 | Ian Young
Shipping and tank storage company Odfjell posted a $261-million net profit for the third quarter of 2011 compared with a $11-million net loss in the corresponding quarter of 2010. The result was boosted by proceeds from the divestment in August of 49% stakes in Odfjell tank terminals in Rotterdam and Houston to private equity firm Lindsay Goldberg, which resulted in a capital gain of $270 million. The net profit figure also reflects solid tank terminal earnings and marginally increased time-charter results in the chemical tanker business. However, time chartering...

Yes, Windows 7 Release Candidate is still sporting the Betta fish, but then again, examples of fauna featuring the RC moniker are bound to be scarce. Compiled on April 21, 2009, the Release Candidate for Windows 7 has made it into the wild, and is now available for download via torrent trackers.
Build 7100 is labeled Release Candidate in the End User License Agreement. More specifically, the EULA refers to Wind7_RC.1_Ult_NRL_en-US. At the time of this article Microsoft continues to offer no official details on the RC development milestone of Windows 7, providing no information on the build string or on the availability deadlines.
Still, the generalized consensus among various third parties is that Windows 7 Build 6.1.7100.0.winmain_win7rc .090421-1700 is none other than the fully fledged Release Candidate of the next iteration of Windows. Both the 32-bit and 64-bit flavors of the platform have made it onto P2P (peer-to-peer) networks, and the official release from Microsoft is just around the corner. The company will offer Windows 7 RC Build 7100 to the public on May 5, with MSDN and TechNet subscribers scheduled to get the bits a tad earlier (but not at this point in time).
32-bit Windows 7 RC Build 7100 is accompanied by the following information: MD5: 8867C13330F56A93944BCD46DCD73590 and SHA1: 7D1F486CA569EFFFFB719CFB48355BB7BF499712. At the same time, the 64-bit of the Release Candidate for Windows 7 comes with MD5: 98341AF35655137966E382C4FEAA282D and SHA1: FC867FE1AB2E0A9796F9E4D155B44EA6998F4874. Microsoft only allows Windows Vista copies to be upgraded to Windows 7 RC. Windows XP to Windows 7 Build 7100 transitions are blocked by design, and Windows 7 Beta or pre-RC Build upgrades to the Release Candidate milestone, although also blocked, can be circumvented.

Paris Nice Stage 6: Contador shows who's boss
Contador smashes rivals with awesome climbing display
Alberto Contador showed who's boss today in the sixth stage of Paris Nice when he pulverised his rivals on the slopes of La Montagne de Lure. Having reeled in the day's longest break with 20km to go Contador made his move on the slopes of the final climb. Initially in a group of three with Frank Schleck (Saxo Bank) and Luis Leon Sanchez (Caisse D'Epargne) he leapt away with six kilometres to go. Within minutes he had put 24 seconds into Schleck and Sanchez.
Chavanel was powerless to respond to such an awesome display of climbing power, he went into the day 36 seconds ahead of the Spanish rider, but Contador wiped out that lead within a few kilometres of the final 1st category climb to finish 1:50 in front of the Frenchman. Franck Schleck was second 58 seconds back and Luis Leon Sanchez third.
Contador now leads the overall by 1:13 from Sanchez with Sylvain Chavanel (Quick Step) a further 11 seconds back in third place, Franck Schleck is a further 23 seconds behind in fourth. David Millar (Garmin Slipstream) didn't have a good day losing touch with the leaders on the final climb, he now lies 5:30s back on Contador in 17th place overall.
Today's stage was the second day of real climbing in this year's race culminating in the 13km slog up the Montagne de Lure at an average gradient of 6.6 per cent. On yesterday's stage Jeremy Roy (FD Jeux) escaped to take the win, so no surprise that there were plenty of takers to try and emulate his feat. The break came as early the fourth kilometre when five riders attacked that five quickly became eight Mickael Delage (Silence Lotto), Javier Aramendia (Euskaltel), Romain Feillu (Agritubel), Niki Terpstra (Milram) and Cyril Lemoine (Skil Shimano) have been caught by Christophe Riblon (AG2R), Alan Perez (Euskaltel) and Sebastien Turgot (BBox Bouygues Telecom) with yesterday's winner chasing behind them on his own trying to bridge the gap which he did after 33Km. Roy went on to pick up the climbing points for the next two 2nd category climbs.
Not long after the initial break went, somewhere around killometre 13, on Friday the 13th Thomas Voeckler, who Roy held of to win yesterday's stage, crashed. He broke suffered a badly broken collarbone and well before the stage had reached its conclusion was already under the surgeon's knife in a nearby hospital.
The gap to the break went out at one point to over six minutes before Astana moved to the head of the peloton setting the pace and the gap started to come down quickly. No doubt spurred by Roy's success Team Columbia High Road took over at the front – keen to protect Tony Martin's lead in the polka dot jersey competition. 100 kilometres into the stage the gap had melted to just 1:20 at this point Roy sat up and the gap initially went back out again. Even so the momentum was with the chasers and they duly mopped up the break one by one until it was cancelled out entirely when Feillu was caught with 30km to go.
Martin attacked on the penultimate climb to take the four points on offer and further tighten his grip on the polka dot jersey and then 20km from the finish Astana moved ominously to the front of the race with Popavych setting the pace. All attempts at attack were ruthlessly snuffed out until with 11 kilometres to go Jens Voigt (Team Saxo Bank) made a dash for it
Contador, Schleck and Sanchez then counter attacked, race leader Sylvain Chavanel was left trailing in their wake. Six clicks out from the finish Contador lit the blue touch paper and Schleck and Sanchez were left behind as Contador rode off to claim his second stage win of this year's race and to regain the leader's jersey once again.
Tomorrow the riders tackle another mountain stage with a 191Km jaunt from Manosque to Fayence which will take them over five 3rd category climbs, four 2nd category climbs, and the 1st category Col de Bourigaille.

March 19, 2012
MADISON, Wis. -- The Wisconsin men's program is currently tied for seventh in the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Association standings in the race for its 2011-12 John McDonnell Program of the Year Award.
With a total of 31 points, the Badgers share seventh place with Florida.
The John McDonnell Program of the Year Award is given annually by the USTFCCCA to the institution that has achieved the most success in each academic year spanning the cross county, indoor track and field and outdoor track and field seasons.
Teams must qualify for each of the NCAA championships in order to be eligible. Scoring is based on the team's finish in the championships, with a first-place finish awarding the program 1 point in the rankings, while finishing 31st would earn that program 31 points.
The program with the lowest total score, encompassing placement in each of the three championship seasons, determines the award recipient.
Cross country got the Badgers off to a fast start in the rankings after capping off its impressive season by winning a national title at the 2011 NCAA Cross Country Championship.
In indoor track and field action, sophomore Japheth Cato's historic performance and runner-up finish in the heptathlon at the 2012 NCAA Indoor Championships helped Wisconsin earn 30 points in the Program of the Year rankings.
Indiana leads the standings with a lead total of 13 points, followed tightly behind by Stanford in second with 16 points, BYU and Texas tied for third with 18 points each and Florida State fifth with 21 points.
This is the fourth-consecutive year the USTFCCCA has conducted its John McDonnell Program of the Year award. Wisconsin previously appeared in the 2009-10 rankings, finishing eighth in the final standings.
With Wisconsin currently ranked in the top 10 of the standings for this academic year, the UW outdoor track and field team has the opportunity to give the program one final push up the standings as their season gets under way Friday in Starkville, Miss., at the SEC/Big Ten Challenge.

Brendon Kay insists competition "gets you better as a player." Munchie Legaux knows he must work on his accuracy.
Brendon Kay was virtually unknown to University of Cincinnati football fans at this time last year. Today, Kay seems firmly entrenched as the Bearcats' starting quarterback.
Or maybe not.
Kay and former starter Munchie Legaux, both entering their final UC seasons, are dueling for the No. 1 role as the Bearcats go through spring football. ...

I think they look pretty damn lovely.
Panzer III Ausf-L Model (WIP) Modeller: Huy Nguyen Program: Autodesk Maya 2013 This is still a work in progress.
Posted by GamerKnight on Mar 6th, 2013
Huy has been working very hard on this latest model and we all think he deserves his own status update for his tireless work on the model.
It is still a work in progress, and it has not been rigged or animated yet. But that is next on the agenda.
Modeller: Huy Nguyen
Program: Autodesk Maya 2013
Time: Three/Four Days (Fourteen Sessions)
Panzer III Ausf-L
This tank is a perfect example of German engineering at it best, it was designed to be a mobile modular battle station. Although I am not going to give to much away right now, the idea is that players will be able to equip and remove modular pieces of the tank depending on the task at hand.
Huy Nguyen needs some feedback on his models guys and gals. What do you like about it, what would you change. Is there anything you think is good or bad.
He really needs some encouragement to know his efforts are appreciated and how he can improve it.

I like the Panzer III with out the side armor it was a more common version of the tank.
great models!

Two of our favorite boys in entertainment will be goofing around on our television screens all week as Justin Timberlake kicks off a five-night stint as a guest on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. Between this and Saturday Night Live, we wouldn't be surprised if JT has gone ahead and started crashing in 30 Rockefeller Plaza. He stopped by the set to perform "Pusher Love Girl" off his new album, "The 20/20 Experience" and exchange some witty repartee with the host — including a funny bit about the two having an ill-fated Sunday night tryst.
Both Timberlake and Fallon were under the weather last night (although they certainly didn't look it), leading the host to quip that they really shouldn't have made out the night before. "But your lips are so soft!" responds Timberlake, breaking into giggles and prompting shrieks from the audience when he shrugs and says, "sometimes you're in the mood. And when Jimmy gets in the mood…"
Of course, maybe he should have exercised a little restraint since, as he exclaims, "I'm on some weird drugs right now. Anything could happen on national TV!"
Watch what does happen in the video below:

Ola Rapace (Swedish pronunciation: [ˈuːla raˈpasː]; né Pär Ola Norell; born 3 December 1971)[2] is a Swedish actor. He is best known in Sweden for roles in the popular TV series Tusenbröder and the first season of the Swedish TV series Wallander which is based on Henning Mankell's Kurt Wallander books.[3] Outside Sweden, his most notable work is in the 2000 Lukas Moodysson film Together which won several awards at international film festivals.[2]

Samsung Galaxy S5 Review
Another year, another new Galaxy flagship from Samsung. While the Samsung Galaxy S5 is low on true substance it is an upgrade on Samsung's previous flagship, the Samsung Galaxy S4. While features such as the fingerprint scanner, heart-rate monitor, and the new UI are nice touches, the Samsung Galaxy S5 struggles to truly wow or inspire like other phones out of the gate.
The Samsung Galaxy S5 features a new 5.1 inch 1080p super AMOLED screen. Additionally, on the outside the S5 features a removable back panel hiding its 2,800mAh battery and a MicroSD slot. Additionally, the phone features both water-proofing and dust-proofing tech. The new textured back is an almost leather like surface that appears similar to carbon fiber.
Internally, the GS5 features a 2.5 GHz Snapdragon 801 processor with 2 GB of RAM. It features Bluetooth 4.0, NFC, and LTE. Additionally, the Galaxy S5 snaps photos with a 16-megapixel camera. The highlight features are the fingerprint scanner, which works similar to Apple's TouchID, and the heart-rate monitor, a first in mainstream smartphones.
While it has some niche features that will impress some, the Samsung Galaxy S5 doesn't put a fire in the heart of your average smartphone fan. The improvements are present, but incremental. The innovations are unique, but narrow in scope. There is no doubt that this phone is grand, but there isn't much to be overly excited about when it comes to the Samsung Galaxy S5.
-A solid upgrade
-Fingerprint reader and heart-rate monitor are a cool touch
-High-powered device
-Not much true innovation going on
-Not premium materials externally
-Not exactly trendsetting

Saving the George River Caribou Herd?
There's an aboriginal summit in Kuujjuaq Nunavik this week. The topic of discussion? The drastically declining George River Caribou Herd… And leaders from the Nunatsiavut government will be there. The president of Nunatsiavut wants to see the herd rebound now and is asking all Nunatsiavut beneficiaries to stop hunting this year. She hopes other first nation groups at this summit will understand why drastic measures are needed to save the herd. Sarah Leo joins Colleen Connors on the phone from Nain.

On regular basis, some important computer program in developed and all the programs are important availing to you any information which you are in need of in a . PC Matic offers an excellent and free scanning option that will always leave your machine in the best condition all the time, rather the version of PC Matic which is used as a trial, performs an excellent task which is exposing to a user on how the interior activities of their computer take place.
This is a scan with the ability to go through a wide variety of aspects which include the quantity of the junk files that are in your machine, the present state of the security threats, in case there are any missing hardware drivers, as well as a wide range of other aspects of your computer.
On opening up your installed PC Matic, you find that the only area that you may click on is the Free Scan, which is clearly illustrated by the giant icon that has a gear shape. Then you will have to start the wide range of the assorted scans that will be running towards your computer. In such a sample for carrying out a test, a scan usually takes just six minutes on the entire. You need to note that, PC Matic will not be running a deep comprehensive scan on the spywares during the sample scan process.
The top and most bought utility in terms of performance of the PC the US which is identified as Optimize, for high performance has been incorporated into PC Matic. Optimize is well known for its highly performing combination in the removal of the junk files, full optimization of the internet, cleaner registry, and the absolute removal of all the undesirable programs. PC Matic incorporates Driver Alert 2.0 with the excellent brand new feature that is named Driver Matic. Driver Matic plays the role of installations of the most recent drivers for your PC right at the click of a button. You will no longer need to download a package such as exe, zip or dll, and have to uninstall it again in that Driver Matic will create a highly unified architecture which will allow for a hassle free and seamless installation for the drivers thus you will be able to install the driver without having to interfere with the user. In addition to that, they have incorporated Disk MD's functionality, PC Pitstop's highly venerable disk health product.
In simple terms, PC Matic just takes a basic and holistic approach to PC maintenance. As opposed to the other products that are in existence in the software market, entirely these technologies are highly accessible just at the single click of a button. Their latest architecture adequately exceeds the simple integration exercise in that they make use of the Software as a Service heavily. Note that, exceedingly heavily, it can be said to be the core of application. The architecture allows an unparalleled functionality, for instance they now have the best scheduler in the world and the entire scan and clean results are sent to and then stored in their servers. And are visible viewed from all computers, and not the computer that the operations were carried out in.

What Happened After the Kiss(es): First Dance, Speeches & More
May 1st 2011 7:39PM I have been trying to figure out the social dynamic and the psychology behind the " monarchy," and the British love for it all.
Yes it is "tradition," however I think it goes deeper than that.
Long ago, I lived in some of the last of the British colonies, like India for example. India was perfect for the British class system with their already inbedded "caste" structure.
Today there is still a level or class system even within the working classes of England.
An example would be a "Gardener." The very best in England, like the master gardeners at Kew Gardens, are highly respected and very well paid. Those who wish to be a gardener and study or apprentice under one will call him; "master."
Could it be possible and run so deep that they choose to be happy being lower in social status? This could be so deep that it is an unconscious behavior pattern.
I really do not know but as I stated I have been giving it a little thought.

Tribal Hummingbird Tattoos: Symbol of Good Luck
Is a tribal hummingbird tattoo familiar to you? This tattoo is commonly used by tattoo aficionados to incorporate a personal touch to a well-known tat style, or as an additional tattoo in their tat collection. Being creatures that are fascinating symbols of good luck, it's so easy to choose this tattoo to be etched on your skin at an impulse.
However, before you finally decide to proceed with the tattooing process, it would be better if you will do some homework. Considering that tattoos can be expensive nowadays, conducting a thorough research first not only saves you money, but also gives you the idea on how to determine the difference between an excellent tattoo over an inferior one.
Just like with other tattoos, there is a wide variety of tribal hummingbird tattoo versions that you can find online. You can expect that tat designers will likely present one or more ready-made designs contained in their catalogs. You can opt for a tat design that portrays an armband of hummingbirds in solid black color that are grouped together.
You can also have a lone hummingbird perched at the center of 2 pieces of tribal bands. If you want, you can also make your own design of this popular tattoo which allows you to select from a range of style options. Another choice is to draw a branch of tribal flower reaching up your calf, and the hummingbird that is perched above it.
You can also opt to have a small tribal hummingbird tattoo with open wings drawn across the unexposed part of your wrist. One advantage of creating your own design of this tattoo is that you can apply more colors of your choice. While most tribal tats are colored black and white, the realistic hummingbird is colorful in nature.
So in this case, you can create your own design of a realistic hummingbird with different colors that you like. In making this tat design, it's either you can wear it alone, or you can have it in a bigger piece of tattoo. As you can see here, there are really no restrictions in designing your own version of the hummingbird tattoo.
To be frank with you, sometimes it's difficult to search for a unique tribal hummingbird tattoo design in the internet. Do you know why? It is because when one searches in Google for unique images, there are also millions of people doing the same thing across the globe. So, the tendency is that all of you are trying to find the same artwork of the same image.
But there's a solution to that which is being revealed at last in this article. You can check out in a popular and reputable pay tattoo website that you can find in the internet. These websites can offer you reliable resources like a possible access to expert artists that are capable of producing fantastic tattoo designs that meet your taste. These tat artists would be able to show you samples of unique and appealing tribal hummingbird tattoos that you can be proud of to display.

Flat Leaf vs. Curly Leaf Parsley
Burning Question: Should I Use Flat Leaf or Curly Leaf Parsley?
Like us on Facebook
The general consensus among cooks and culinary enthusiasts seems to be that flat leaf (also known as Italian) parsley has more flavor and should be used in recipes that call for parsley. The curly leaf variety is less flavorful and is mostly used as a garnish (or unless the recipe specifically calls for it). In both cases, fresh parsley has a lot more flavor than its dried version and is preferred to use in cooking. When choosing parsley, select bright green, healthy bunches. Rinse your parsley and wrap it in paper towels. Store in a plastic bag in the refrigerator.
What variety of parsley do you prefer to use?

Krishna Mehta: In the Middle of Everything, Still Standing Out
Georgia State's Presidential Scholars arrive on campus as incoming freshmen with more than just good grades. They possess the open minds, creativity, and dedication to hard work and discovery upon which our university was founded. In return, the Presidential Scholarship covers full tuition and fees and provides stipends for living expenses and study-abroad opportunities. Presidential Scholars are also part of the Honors College and receive specialized advising and mentoring by faculty and staff. We'd like to introduce you to each member of Georgia State's 2013 class of Presidential Scholars, a diverse group of students with widely varying interests and goals for their futures. We're proud to call them Georgia State Panthers — and to have invested in their future success.
Krishna Mehta had two main priorities in selecting a college. "I was looking for somewhere that I wouldn't just be a number, somewhere that I would actually stand out and could be an individual," she says. "I also wanted the urban environment — I really didn't want to study in one of those small college towns in the middle of nowhere."
Being in the middle of everything and still managing to stand out from the crowd might seem like two goals at odds with one another, but Krishna didn't think so, and she found that Georgia State didn't, either. "There are so many schools that just gather hundreds of students together and stick them in classrooms, but it's different here," she says. "My class sizes have been small, so it has been easy to build relationships with my professors, ask questions, and participate in discussions. Yet they're still right in the middle of Atlanta by all these major corporations, the hospitals, different things to do. I grew up in the suburbs, which is definitely kind of a 'bubble,' so it's nice to get out of a small community and explore."
Following a Childhood Dream
Proximity to a hospital is important to Krishna because she sees herself going into the medical field. "Ever since I was little, I wanted to be a doctor," she says. "My mom's a nurse, and she actually went to Georgia State for nursing school when I was very little. Through the Emory Johns Creek Hospital VolunTeen Program, I've gotten to volunteer in hospitals for about three summers now, and have shadowed doctors and nurses, and I absolutely love that lifestyle. I like having that influence on people, building a connection with them and helping them get better day by day.
"I've also sat in on many surgeries and observed what was going on — hysterectomies, gallbladder surgeries, hip replacements, several different kinds," she says. "I wanted to know what I was getting myself into. Blood doesn't make me squeamish."
Krishna's mother is still a registered nurse in a cardiac catheterization lab, and while Krishna won't decide on a specialization for a while yet, she says she's leaning toward cardiology. "I had a really inspiring mentor in high school and he is extremely enthusiastic about cardiology. He motivated me to lean toward that direction," she says.
Hitting the Ground Running
Regardless of what medical specialty she goes into, Krishna has plenty of schooling ahead of her, but she says she's gotten off to a strong start at Georgia State. "I think I've gotten the hang of where everything is now, and I am so grateful for all the connections I have gotten to make," she says. "The Honors College has given me so many resources and opportunities that I cannot find anywhere else. I couldn't even imagine that I could build a network so big and have that kind of personal relationship with them."
Before she's even finished with her freshman year, Krishna will be supplementing her pre-med classes with a university assistantship. "I'll be working in the Neuroscience Institute with Dr. Geert DeVries in his lab. I'm so excited to be exposed to his research and expand my lab knowledge. It's a new experience — it's definitely not what you see in a typical classroom setting."
The Personal Touch
As much as she's got going on in the lab and the classroom, Krishna has a life outside academics — she's an avid reader and a trained performer of Bharata Natyam, a traditional Indian style of dance. "I've been learning it since the age of 8," she says. "It involves a lot of facial expressions, complicated footwork, and hand gestures — it's storytelling of Hindu folktales and culture, through dance."
Krishna has found that Georgia State offered the chance to build satisfying connections outside the classroom as well. "Living on the Honors floor of University Commons really allowed me to make more friends," she says. "We have get-togethers on weeknights that the RAs put together, which are fun to attend. I wasn't expecting the community to be so close-knit, but we've also started to build more personal relationships within the Presidential Scholars, with those that are in their junior and senior years, which helps us out even more.
Not bad for someone who says she didn't even expect to be awarded the Presidential Scholarship to begin with. "I told my mom if I ever got a phone call that said Georgia State on the caller ID, not to answer it, but she answered it anyway," Krishna remembers, smiling.
"When Dr. Mansfield called to tell me I'd gotten the scholarship, I was really surprised. I met so many people at the interviews who were so gifted, and I definitely didn't think I would be one of the few to get the full ride. But for them to invest that much in me, for them to think that I have the potential to do more, is truly an honor, and it feels great."

"My acrylic paintings will never be accidentally confused as a photograph." I love to use the striking shapes of nature to create my various colorful interpretations of the the world. I use colors that are bold & dynamic... an "in your face" style. My ideas for paintings are taking either from sketches, plein air painting or photographs that I have taken personally. I work primarily in acrylics, but occasionally switch to watercolors, markers, & mixed media. To me color is everything! I love the shapes & textures as well as the shadows on an image. I try to use the play of light & shapes of what I see & convert it into fun interplay of colors. I have been painting & drawing ever since I was a small child. My mother used to give me...

WINSLOW — As a patient at the Ancora Psychiatric Hospital, Meghan Boland says a staff member dragged her into a bathroom, pushed her down, and stomped on her face with a boot.
Police photographs taken after the March 2003 incident, Boland says, clearly show the outline of the boot on her bruised and swollen face. But an attorney convinced her to drop charges against the worker, Boland said.
Today, Boland is feeling better. She's seven months pregnant and says she has learned to manage her schizophrenia. But she remains bitter about the time she spent as a patient in the state's largest mental health institution.
"I was treated like I was just an animal," Boland said. "And I wasn't. I was sick, and I needed help. I needed to learn about my mental illness."
State Human Services spokeswoman Ellen Lovejoy said she could neither confirm or deny Boland's charges because the state cannot identify or discuss any mentally ill patient.
But she said the state would condemn any violence toward any patient.
"It's unacceptable for a staff member to use violence to bring a patient under control," Lovejoy said. "It's simply unacceptable."
Boland said she was a patient in Larch Hall, Ward B.
She acknowledges that she fought with another patient, Debbie.
"Me and her fought. I don't even remember. Something over food," she said. But the fight was over when the staff member came for her to administer what Boland says is Ancora's peculiar form of justice.
After she was stomped, the staff worker kept her job, Boland said, but was reassigned to work elsewhere in the hospital.
"They move them and give people back their jobs," Boland complained, "because they're in a union. They should only hire people who have experience and education in the field, not just people coming off the street looking for work."
Union leader Robert Ruffin said, "We're not saying that all of our staff are perfect. But we are saying that we have excellent staff here."
He knows patients have been mistreated at Ancora, Ruffin said.
"We can't tell you all that happens. What we get as a union is whatever they've hired and whatever they've made full-time. Hell, we've had managers mistreat patients."

What used to be a closely monitored field is now something we all need to be a part of.
August 6, 2013 1:53 by kippreport
By Alex Malouf, communications professional and Kippreport columnist.
Do you have three years of experience in using Facebook? Are you a 'serial tweeter'? Can you put a sentence together?
If you've answered yes to all of the above then you're probably qualified to become a social media executive. I kid you not. Based on most of the classified adverts out there, most companies would seem to value an ability to understand the technical aspects of how to use social media platforms rather than what they should be doing online and why.
Social media has changed how companies and their brands interact with the public. In many ways, consumers have become much more demanding of their brand communications; social media users expect companies to respond, and they will anticipate a speedy response.
Where communication was once entrusted to a select few in the company and was closely monitored, social media has transformed each and every single employee into a potential brand ambassador. In many global corporations today, social media training isn't just given to people who handle the marketing; it's given to everyone who joins the firm. You do your compliance training, your health and safety courses, and now you have your social media literacy training.
There are many companies out there who understand the impact that good, and bad, social media can have on their brands. And then there are those who don't. Ask yourself, did your company get on the bandwagon because everyone else was launching a Facebook page, a Twitter account or a YouTube channel? If that's the case, then your boss took the wrong action.
While it may be free to open an account on most social media networks, let's be clear – social media isn't cheap marketing. It's certainly not just a case of 'let's get online and they will come.' To build up a community and develop a sense of trust and association with your brand takes a lot of time, patience and hard work. It also requires leadership and involvement from the top. Richard Branson is a great example of a CEO who interacts, who engages and who tells a story in his own words across a host of different online platforms (coincidentally, we're still lacking that online interaction from business leaders in the Gulf).
Business owners need to buy into the concept of social media wholeheartedly, and they need to fully understand the benefits and the risks of taking the plunge. If you and your company are serious about getting their message out in the right way online here's what you need to do:
Train from day one – develop a social media policy, a list of dos and don'ts, and ensure that every single employee, from the secretary to the CEO, signs up to them. Make the policy transparent and deliver it in the most engaging way possible. You want to make sure that every single person understands it and knows about the importance of communicating online to the company.
Keep the conversation going – employees are going to go online at work and they're going to use social media. If your employees want to talk about work (hopefully in a positive manner) from their personal accounts give them suggestions for their status updates and tweets. Keep your employees informed of the company's activities and let them decide if they want to take the message online. Employees should identify themselves as being part of the company when they're talking about their company online. This helps develop trust and transparency with your wider community of followers.
Keep learning and training – social media is continually evolving; new platforms are launched, older platforms are expanded and refined. If you want your social media team to continuously improve, then you have to invest in training and listen to your team when they're telling you what works and what doesn't, then refine your policies accordingly. Good social media requires adapting to the changing needs of the communities we are part of.
The above may sound simple enough, but there is one scenario where even the best laid plans will fail. If your company suffers from a bad reputation when it comes to customer service, no amount of social media activities will help stem the tide of complaints and angry comments. If you've got a customer service issue, get it sorted before you go online, or else your reputation will get dragged down with all the negativity on your online forums.
If you're planning to get online, or if you've already got your social media channels up and running, remember that social media is more than a 20-something in front of a screen typing away and posting updates and tweets. Social media is your mouthpiece to the world. Make sure that you know what you're saying online is in line with your brand's values and messages and that you trust the people who are in charge. Otherwise you may have to bring in a couple of social media firefighters to help that 'social media expert' you hired a couple of months ago.

Thanks for the mention above. I've made a silver ion electrode, which used in conjunction with a commercially available reference electrode, is giving me numbers that are off quite a bit from the calculated values. Well, it's just a first trial, and I expect that things will get better with some more experimentation.
But it looks like there will be a working solution for those that are interested in pursuing it.

Religious leaders tackle HIV/AIDS discussion
Ayana Jones | 12/14/2010, 6:26 p.m.
PHILADELPHIA — Pastor Alyn Waller of Enon Baptist Tabernacle is no stranger to addressing HIV in the church setting.
Since 2006, the church has been offering HIV testing and a support group for individuals infected and affected by HIV. In March of 2006, Enon hosted a HIV testing event where 1,000 people were tested in one day. At Enon, it's common to hear about the issue of HIV.
"We speak about HIV and AIDS consistently because we are not afraid of the sex talk," Waller said. "It's not unheard of to hear me teaching or preaching about sexuality in general."
Enon Tabernacle was one of 100 churches and mosques that participated in a city-wide campaign that kicked off in November to help combat the rising rates of HIV within the black community by encouraging people to get tested. During the campaign some churches preached on the issue while others disseminated information about the disease.
"We have been involved with HIV issues for some time so when the opportunity came up to do something across the city with other clergy we just felt it was consistent with what we are already doing," Waller said of Enon's participation.
The campaign was coordinated by the Interfaith Health Action Alliance of Philadelphia, which is a coalition of faith-based organizations that seek to reduce health disparities in Philadelphia, particularly HIV/AIDS disparities.
IHAAP evolved after Amy Nunn, research professor of medicine at Brown University, approached Rev. Marguerite E. Handy, executive director of the Mayor's Office of Faith Based Initiatives with a proposal to engage churches and mosques. The campaign comes at a time when African Americans make up 64 percent of the new HIV infections in Philadelphia.
Waller gave various reasons why the faith-based community should be engaged around the issue of HIV.
"The church is supposed to be the heart of Christ and if Christ were here, this would be on his agenda," Waller said. "Dr. Martin Luther King once said in the 1940s if you were a Christian living in Europe you should have stood up and said, 'I am a Jew' because of what Hitler was doing to the Jews. If you were a Christian in America in the 1950s and the 1960s, you should have stood up and said, 'I am a Negro' because of the fight for civil rights," he recounted.
"If you are a Christian today, you should stand up and say, 'I am HIV positive' because of the challenges that are facing people who are HIV positive and because of the work that is yet to be done, talk about how the disease is transmitted and how we can protect people from it."
Waller said the church can play a role in challenging pharmaceutical companies to make it affordable to be treated and that the church is best suited to address HIV-related stigma.
"So many people don't want to get tested. They don't want to talk about the disease because of the stigma that comes with the disease," he said.

Country/Date of Origin: Wales/1800s
This Welsh breed was named for the family home of its creator Captain John Edwardes. His spunky earth terrier was bred for the courage needed to tackle vermin that intimidated other dogs, such as badgers, fox and weasels. The exact mixture of breeds he used to create the Sealyham is not known. Some say it included Corgis, Bassets, Dandie Dinmonts, Bull Terriers and West Highland White Terriers. Whatever he used, the result was a superb hunter.
The Sealyham entered the English show world in 1910 and was recognized by the American Kennel Club the following year.

On April 20th, the Oakland Tribune published a story regarding Diebold's alleged use of uncertified voting software in violation of California state law (Diebold knew of legal risks). The article cited and focused on internal legal memos from the Jones Day law firm showing that Diebold's own lawyers had warned of some of the possible illegalities. Online, the Oakland Tribune posted the documents in addition to the article. That afternoon, the Trib's parent company and the reporter were sued by Jones Day to have the documents returned. The judge ordered the documents returned, except for those already published on the internet (Judge: Tribune must turn over legal memos):
Jones Day's lawsuit claimed the documents were protected under California law as attorney-client communications and attorney work product, and that the defendants "improperly, and possibly illegally, secured, maintained possession of and refused to return" the documents despite the firm's demands.
Read on...
UPDATE More memos here: The inside story on California Diebold decertification -- Next: Ohio?
And what sort of relief was Jones Day asking for?
"They asked for an order directing the defendants to return all copies of what they're calling protected documents in whatever form they exist, and all notes, summaries, digests and other recordings of the documents," said Jean-Paul Jassy, the attorney representing MediaNews Group and Hoffman.
"They were also asking for a restraining order preventing any further use of the documents for any purpose ... but about halfway through the hearing they said they were no longer asking for that second point."
That last point, which Jones Day apparently dropped, is known as a prior restraint and is severely frowned upon by the First Amendment - something the judge apparently understood. However, the paper was required to turn over everything they possessed:
In a three-hour hearing Tuesday evening, [Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Dzintra] Janavs said she wouldn't prevent future stories from being written about the documents. In a one-page, handwritten order, she directed the defendants to turn over to her "all copies of Jones Day documents marked 'attorney work product, privileged and confidential' whether on Jones Day letterhead or not, forthwith."
The order to turn over the documents is being appealed and I certainly hope they succeed. Unless there has been criminal action by the reporter to obtain the documents (and even then one should only sue on the illegal action), newspapers must be free to report on such documents when they come to light. If a newspaper can publish the Pentagon Papers, I don't see why a newspaper can't publish some legal memos regarding our voting system.
However, there was a major exception to the order:
"This order does not apply to replicas of such documents already published on defendants' website," the judge concluded.
Bravo judge! The cat's out of the bag ... why should Jones Day get to stuff it back in when the Pentagon couldn't?
Of course, one might note that bloggers would have been much more likely to publish a story based on the memos and publish all the memos simultaneously. There would be nothing left to return to Jones Day under the judge's order; it all would have been published on the internet. By trying to maintain an exclusive, the newspaper has created the possibility that the documents will be suppressed.
The documents that were published on the internet are:
Comprehensive Position Paper: This would be a synthesis of the above analysis plus additional factual and legal development. This would be the basis for white papers, responding to subsequent developments, persuading prosecuting authorities not to bring criminal charges, defending the False Claim Case, reports to board, press releases, governmental and media inquiries and filings. This is recommended given the exposure but is a decision for the client. [emphasis added]
Summary for Two Month Estimate: $535,000 -$925,000
My summary: Money on lawyers is apparently money better spent then money spent on fixing the actual problems.
DIEBOLD ELECTION SYSTEMS Re: Alameda County Agreement [PDF]
This is a great 10-page document:
This memorandum briefly discusses the applicable California law regarding certification of voting systems and identifies provisions of the Agreement that Alameda County might contend were breached if it was provided with an uncertified voting system. This memorandum does not analyze potential defenses or counter arguments that can be made by Diebold ( e.g., the Secretary of State's failure to establish or enforce specific regulations requiring certification of new versions, etc.). Instead, the memorandum focuses on the potential arguments that might be made by Alameda County.
Here is a sample:
A. Issue: Whether the use of an uncertified voting system is illegal? Short Answer: Yes. All voting systems must be approved by the Secretary of State before use in any election. See Cal. Elec. Code § 19201.
B. Issue: Whether Diebold breached the Agreement if it provided Alameda County with an uncertified voting system? Short Answer: Most likely. If Diebold provided Alameda County with an uncertified voting system that was used in an election, then Diebold most likely breached provisions of the Agreement requiring Diebold to comply with all applicable laws. [emphasis in original]
DIEBOLD ELECTION SYSTEMS, INC. Re: Issues Regarding California Secretary of State Investigation [PDF]
This document has a more detailed analysis of issues specific to the California Secretary of State:
A. Issue: Whether the California Secretary of State can issue a conditional certification of a voting system ( or, of a modified version of a voting system that was previously certified)? Short Answer: Probably not. The Secretary of State Procedures for certifying voting systems ("SSP") permit conditional certification, but if the SSP are invalid and without legal effect, the Secretary of State must rely on the California Elections Code, which does not contain any provision allowing for conditional certification. The California Elections Code contains explicit procedures for examining and certifying voting systems. The Secretary of State must examine every voting system submitted by vendors without undue delay and issue a report within 30 days after the examination stating whether the voting system is accurate and efficient and can safely be used in elections. See Cal. Elec. Code §§ 19202 & 19207. If the Secretary of State's "report states that the voting system can be used, it shall be deemed approved by the Secretary of State and machines or devices of its kind may be adopted for use at elections." Cal. Elec. Code § 19208. [emphasis in original, footnotes omitted]
DIEBOLD ELECTION SYSTEMS, INC. Re: Supplement to 11/24/2003 Memorandum Analyzing the Alameda County Agreement [PDF]
More good stuff:
A. Issue: Whether a California State approved voting system may be modified for experimental use without the Secretary of State's approval? Short Answer: Probably not. The California Elections Code provision allowing for experimental use of a voting system in an election without Secretary of State certification most likely only applies to new and uncertified voting systems. See Cal. Elec. Code § 19211. Once a voting system has been approved by the Secretary of State, any change or modification to the system must be approved by the Secretary of State before it may be used in an election. See § 19213.3 [footnotes omitted, emphasis in original]
This time the discussion includes some of Diebold's potential counter arguments:
DESI may, however, argue that it did not need to obtain approval from the Secretary of State for its changed or modified voting system if the system is considered a new voting system. DESI's argument would be that the change was not a modification of an approved system, but instead was a completely new system. A "system" includes any combination of any mechanical, electromechanical, or electronic system and its software. See § 363. Under this broad definition, even a change to part of voting system may constitute a new system under certain circumstances. Still, DESI would probably need the local governing board to affirm that its use of DESI's new or changed system was for experimental use. [footnotes omitted, emphasis in original]

Now, now, that a blogger is more likely to see reputation-points from publishing all the memos, than stories based on the memos, is just saying they're very low down on the totem-pole of journalism, so they have little hope of exploiting a windfall in the way the big guns can do.
That's another way of looking at it :-)Posted by Seth Finkelstein on April 25, 2004 04:08 AM | Permalink to Comment

A scientist with Texas A&M AgriLife Research has begun work on a way to "engineer" a microbe to break lignin into lipid which can then be used to make more fuel.
The project, which received a $2.4 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy, could help solve the challenge of biowaste generated in biofuel production, according to Dr. Joshua Yuan of College Station, AgriLife Research plant pathologist and lead researcher on the project.
"Probably one of the most important challenges a biomass refinery faces today is how to use lignin. We need a profitable way to use it," Yuan said. "What we propose is to transform these huge amounts of hazardous waste into a huge amount of oil that will be useful for us."
Dr. Joshua Yuan, Texas AgriLife Research plant pathologist
Lignin is what is left after the sugar, or cellulose, in a plant has been converted into ethanol, he explained.
About 50 million tons of lignin are produced every year worldwide and mostly as non-commercialized waste, according to the International Lignin Institute, headquartered in Switzerland.
"There are several things to understand about lignin. It's resistant to degradation and very strong," Yuan said. "It can be burned, but there is so much that burning all of it would create an environmental hazard."
Modern biorefineries for cellulosic ethanol have 60 percent excess lignin, he said.
Because of its tough structure, Yuan said, his team began considering ways to use engineering technology to design biological processes commonly referred to as synthetic biology to help discover ways to convert lignin.
