Hi there,
I started using struts some time ago.
Right now I've got a problem using indexed bean-properties.
Imagine the following JSP-Code:
<%@ page language="java" %>
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-bean.tld" prefix="bean" %>
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-html.tld" prefix="html" %>
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-logic.tld" prefix="logic" %>
<%@ taglib prefix="core" uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/core" %>
The correspondig form is called glossaryListForm and I can ensure it's created correctly.
The actual error message is:
javax.servlet.ServletException: Cannot find bean glossaryListForm in scope page
There were a couple of other messages I forgot for the moment.
The glossaryListForm has an indexed property called glossaryAlphabet which is an array of Vectors. The Vectors themselve contain a collection of other form-objects.
So my question is how to adress indexed properties in that case.
The Source-Code-part that seems to be the problem is the following:

New SATA Spec Will Double Data Transfer Speeds To 6 Gb/s
"SATA's third generation doubles the interface speed again"
Published: 22nd August 2008 | Source: SATA-IO |
Serial ATA International Organization (SATA-IO), the consortium dedicated to sustaining the quality, integrity and dissemination of SATA technology, recently released to its members the physical layer (PHY) portion for its third generation storage interface, which will be defined in the upcoming SATA Revision 3.0 specification. This release ushers in a new generation of faster SATA 6Gb/s products. Developers can now begin designing products based on SATA 6Gb/s technology as work continues on the SATA Revision 3.0 specification, which is expected to be completed in the second half of 2008. Various SATA-IO work groups are engaged in the process of readying new features for incorporation in the final version of the SATA Revision 3.0 specification. These features will include advances for data streaming and better power management.
The new industry standard will enhance the appeal of the high-performance, low-cost interface, solidifying its prevalence as a long-term storage interface. According to John Rydning, IDC's research director for hard disk drives, SATA has become the primary storage interface with more than 650 million SATA hard disk drives shipped since its introduction in 2001. He added that more than three-quarters of new desktop and mobile PC systems shipped in 2007 were equipped with SATA hard drives. Other devices adopting the SATA interface technology include optical disk drives, solid state drives and multi-user storage applications. Many entry and mid-level servers as well as external storage systems now feature the technology.
"Fast transfer rates, low cost and efficient protocol have made SATA the mainstream storage interface of choice," said Knut Grimsrud, SATA-IO president and Intel Fellow. "By doubling transfer speeds while maintaining backward compatibility, the new specification will make Serial ATA an even more attractive solution for consumers and businesses alike."
To accompany the new SATA Revision 3.0 specification, the industry organization has introduced a new
logo that can be used to easily identify SATA 6Gb/s-enabled products.

Jamie Patrick
April 16, 2014
FORT COLLINS, Colo. - Colorado State women's basketball Head Coach Ryun Williams on Wednesday announced the additions of guards Jamie Patrick and Hannah Tvrdy to the 2014-15 roster.
Patrick, who hails from Hutchinson, Kan., will come to Colorado State to begin her junior season from Hutchinson Community College. The 5-10 guard was recently named a third-team NJCAA DI All-American after becoming the Dragon's all-time and single-season scoring leader. She totaled 1,098 career points, 404 rebounds, 170 assists, 119 steals and 41 blocks in just two years a HCC, while shooting .520 from the field, converting 132 three-point field goals.
In two years Patrick and her teammates compiled a 71-3 overall record, which included two NJCAA Tournament trips where HCC finished third and second. In her career she averaged 17.4 points per game and was named to NJCAA Tournament All-Tournament team. She was a two-time all-Jayhawk West recipient, a two-time Jayhawk Conference Player of the Week and she also earned the NJCAA National Player of the Week.
"The thing I love about Jamie, is that she is all about winning and team," commented Williams. "She is a guard with nice size and length that can really shoot and score the ball as well as make those around her better. Jamie is just a really good basketball player that can do so many things on the court. The fact she has 60-plus college games under her belt and has played in a NJCAA National Championship game really helps add to the experience and maturity of our team."
A native of Seward, Neb., Tvrdy (pronounced Tu-VER-dee) just completed her freshman year at Nebraska, coming off the bench in 21 games. NU won the Big Ten tournament and advanced to the round of 32 in the NCAA Tournament this season, falling just short of the Sweet 16 in a loss to BYU. The Huskers were ranked as high as 10th in the national polls this year, finishing the season ranked No. 17 in the USA Today Coaches Poll.
Tvrdy is a 5-10 guard from Seward High School where she played for her father, head coach Tom Tvrdy. ESPN HoopGurlz ranked her as the No. 28 point guard in the nation coming out of high school in 2012. She was named second-team Super-State by the Lincoln Journal Star in 2012 and 2013, and was named to the all-state team all four years of her high school career, earning first-team Class B All-State in 2012 and 2013, second-team in 2011 and honorable mention in 2010. She was the Class B All-State Honorary Captain in 2012, and was a three-time Class B Nebraska state champion (2010, 2011 and 2012).
Tvrdy, who chose to pursue other options for more playing time, will redshirt the 2014-15 season due to NCAA transfer rules, but she's expected to play a big role for the Rams upon the graduation of combo guards AJ Newton and Gritt Ryder.
"Hannah is a very strong and skilled guard who plays with an incredible toughness," praised Williams. "She is a proven winner, and her interchangeable game will fit well with how we play. She comes to CSU from a really solid basketball background, playing in the Big 10, playing for one of the country's elite club teams as well has one of the most respected high school programs in Nebraska. She will definitely be a wonderful addition to the line- up after Gritt and AJ are done. The timing of Hannah joining our team could not be better."
The addition of Tvrdy and Patrick brings the total number of signees to four for next season. The Rams signed Alana Arias and Myanne Hamm last fall.

Free school meals for all infants in reception, year one and year two
Posted: September 02, 2014|
STARTING today, hundreds of children across Burton and South Derbyshire will be entitled to free school meals.
Figures show that around 161,000 pupils will benefit from the Government's expansion of free dinners.
Under the policy, a free school meal is being offered to all children in Reception, Year 1 and 2.
Matthew Reed, chief executive of the Children's Society, said: "The extension of free school meals to all infants in the Midlands is a positive step in the fight against child poverty, and shows that the Government recognises the hardship that thousands of families are facing."

Darwin, C. R. to Bronn, H. G.

Discusses meaning of various English scientific terms.

Is much pleased that translation [of Origin, 1st German ed.] will be ready by May.
Summary Add
Shoulder-pad. is the thick, almost horny skin on the shoulder
of the wild Boar, which is said to serve as defence to tusks of other boars: I have not examined this myself.—
Cross & intercross.— There is no difference: I ought not to have used both terms: an English friend has complained of this mistake of mine.—
Structure anything visible to eye in appearance of parts
Constitution. rate of pulse—period of gestation—length of life—liability to certain diseases—degree of fertility &c &c &c.
Habit—whether diurnal or nocturnal—what kind of food an animal prefers— Habit may, also, be applied to instincts; but it is rather a loose word, often used in English. It differs little from instinct; but would never be applied to the more wonderful instincts. We might say that the owl had nocturnal habits; but instinct impelled it to build its nest.— The optic nerve being fitted to see in the dark we should call a constitutional difference—the great size of eyes a structural difference.—
I am astonished & much pleased that you think the Translation will be ready by May.— Most truly do I thank you for the great honour & benefit which you have conferred on me.—
Honoured Sir, Yours very sincerely | C. Darwin

Since the initial release of Momento for iPhone in late December 2009 our focus has been on the development of a mobile application to help record our lives quickly and easily. This has been the first step in a much bigger vision.
Momento for iPhone introduced the concept of passive diary writing, a unique way of recording your day to day activities using the information and media which you have shared online. In addition, the mobile platform helped promote our concept of capturing private thoughts and memories 'on the go' as moments. This collection of moments, both private and public, created a rich timeline of your day-to-day life quickly and easily, all accessible from your pocket.
After the release of Momento 2 in November 2010, we shifted our focus to developing our business and expanding Momento. Throughout 2011 we're working to bring Momento to new platforms – both mobile and desktop. Whilst we can't provide specifics at present, we can say our aim is to make Momento as accessible as possible.
With the development of Momento on multiple platforms, this presents a new challenge for us; syncing. This is something we have been working on for a while, looking at various solutions for syncing your data over the air between multiple devices and platforms. There are many 'sync' solutions out there but none provide complete control over the process, nor can we guarantee their sustainability or compatibility with our future developments. When it comes to handling your precious data we want to be absolutely certain the process is reliable and seamless. We don't want to hack around and rely on existing services which aren't designed for syncing data from apps like Momento. For this reason we've been working on a purpose built sync solution dedicated to keep your data safe and seamlessly in sync.
We can't provide any estimates on the release of Momento for any specific platforms, but we are working very hard to deliver these products as quickly as possible. With that said, we pride ourselves over the care and attention we put in to our work and will not be rushing our development at the cost of quality or stability.
We're seeking new talent to join our team and help us develop Momento further. If you're interested in becoming part of an exciting UK based startup, please take a look at our jobs page for more information. Even if you don't fulfil the requirements of a posted position but feel you have something extra to offer us, please drop us a line anyway, we'd love to talk!
In the meantime, we'll keep you up to date with our progress and developments here, on Twitter and on our Facebook page.

When I turn 50: 'I'll be a hunter and make 20 quarters'
By DAWN SLADE
Students in Lora Dagel's kindergarten class recently celebrated their 50th day of school this year (kindergartners go to school all day, every other day).
Part of that celebration included drawing a picture of what they thought they would look like at 50 years old and what their life would be like when they're 50.
They had such delightful thoughts, we wanted to share them with our readers. It would be interesting to see if any of their predictions come true.
Joey McLeod - "I'll be married, but no kids. I will work at the Milaca school and teach 3rd grade. I will live in a colorful house. I will drive a yellow car. I will have gray and white hair - not bald. Four days after I turn 50, I'll go bald."
Katie McDonald - "I'll be a cop. I'll make lots of money, like 100 bucks! I'll be married. My husband will be Curt. My husband will work at K-Mart. He'll make 100 bucks too. 3 kids. We'll live in Arizona."
Austin Larson - "I will be married to somebody. I know her, but I don't know her name. I might have to live in Milaca and work on cars."
Jonah Gray - "I would be a cop. I would live in Pease. I wouldn't be married. I wouldn't have kids."
Tony Kruse - "I'll be hauling gas. I will make 6 million bucks. I won't be married...'cause I'll stink like gas."
Shelby Broda - "My job will be hauling gas. I could use a partner like you, Tony. I'll be married and have six kids. I'll make 100 bucks. I'll be rich!"
Danny Dols - "I don't want to get married and have kids. My job will be in Monticello where my grandma works. I'll live in Monticello and drive my grandma's car when she dies (it's white)."
Michael Warren - "My job will be trucking. I will probably be married with two kids. We will live in Milaca in a white house."
Danny Benolken - "I will be a construction worker. I will live in Duluth. I won't be married."
Orianna Scherer-Wojahn - "I'll have a barbershop. I'll be married with five kids. I'll live at Mille Lacs Lake."
Jordon Foote - "I would be a fireman. I would live in St. Cloud. I would be married. I would have five kids."
Damien Banken - "I'll be a hunter. I'll make 20 quarters. I'll be married. My wife's name will be Nicky. I think we'll have four kids. We will live in ÎCitiapolis,' but I'll come back to visit Mrs. Dagel."
Luke Roehl - "I would be a carpenter. I would live in Milaca. I wouldn't be married. I wouldn't have kids."
Justina Sorenson - "I'll be a teacher. I won't be married. I'll live in Milaca and teach with Mrs. Dagel."
Kali Jones - "I'll be a kindergarten teacher at Milaca. I'll teach with Mrs. Dagel. I'll be married with five kids. My husband will work at the doctor."
Spencer Slade - "I'll be a deer hunter. I'll make lots of money. I'll be married. We'll have three kids. I think I'll live in Milaca."
Mathew Dols - "I'm going to get married when I'm 50. I don't know who yet. If I have 100 kids...I'm going to move where nobody has kids. No schools, only one bus to drop me off where there are no houses, just my house. I'm going to be a firefighter and a race car driver. I'm going to wear red shoes."
Nic Noel - "I will be married to someone named Sadie. We will have five kids: McKayla, Austin, Danny, Michael and Tony. I will build houses in Florida. I'll be cool with blue hair. I'll drive a car with fire on the sides, but no hot stuff."
Ashley Haukos - "I think I'll be married. I'll be a teacher in Milaca. I'll have a baby named Kali. My kids: Katy (8), Danny (9) and my dog, Jack."
Jessica Clyde - "I'm going to be a kindergarten teacher. I want to teach in Milaca. I'll be married and have six kids."
Tylor Poganski - "I'll be a construction worker. I will live in Princeton. I won't be married."
Emily Rohweder - "I will be married. I think I'll have kids. I will live in the cities. I'm going to be a vet."
Dylan Steele - "I'm going to be a race car driver, four-wheeler, dirt bike driver. I'm going to own Casey's. I'm going to be friends with Zack 'til we're 70 or 80. I won't be married. No kids."

Stanford University
The work was performed by Dr. Yogalingam at the SENS Research Foundation laboratory in Mountain View and in the laboratory of Professor Daria Mochly-Rosen at Stanford University. Dr. Yogalingam's work was divided between two projects as follows:
Targeting non-lysosomal enzymes to the lysosomal compartment of retinal epithelial cells
In this project the majority of work has been initiated by the SENS Research Foundation and will continue to be performed at SENS Research Foundation. This will include:
- Cloning, expressing and purifying recombinantly-expressed enzymes and characterizing their kinetics in vitro.
- Assessing the uptake and lysosomal targeting of recombinantly-expressed, purified candidate enzymes into cultured mammalian cells, including human macrophage and retinal epithelial cell lines. The majority of this work involved cell biology and biochemical techniques, and was performed at SENS Research Foundation's Research Center. Some imaging (immunofluorescence and electron microscopy) to show that the candidate enzymes are being correctly targeted to lysosomes was done at Stanford.
Developing effective therapies for the treatment of AMD
In this work adeno-associated virus-based vectors will be engineered to contain cDNA encoding candidate enzymes. Retinal epithelial cell lines will be transduced with recombinant AAV containing candidate enzyme cDNAs. The recombinant proteins will be assessed for their correct lysosomal targeting, folding and enzymatic activity towards A2E, an AMD storage product.

The Georgia-born Advertising and Marketing Communications major has come a remarkably long way in a short time–tirelessly opening doors to move closer to his dream of becoming a fashion broadcast journalist. As an FIT Presidential Scholars honors program student, Baker Scholar, Phi Theta Kappa scholarship winner, and recipient of a Black Retail Action Group scholarship sponsored by Bloomingdale's, Smith is determined to seize every opportunity.
He pried open one important door in February when, waiting in line for a Fashion Week show, he recognized Fern Mallis, senior vice president of IMG Fashion. He introduced himself as an FIT student and president and news correspondent at WFIT, the college's radio and TV station, and asked for a press pass to Fall Fashion Week. It was granted, and this fall, he reported to the FIT community on some 15 shows, interviewing such alumni stars as Nina Garcia '93, Nanette Lepore '83, Dennis Basso '73, and Miguel Antoinne '06.
One door Smith opened stands outside the office of FIT President Joyce F. Brown. He entered it to ask for the chance to cover the World Retail Congress in Barcelona, Spain, where an FIT team would enter a competition for a new retail concept. Encouraged by Robin Sackin, acting dean of the Jay and Patty Baker School of Business and Technology, Smith went to Dr. Brown. The trip was arranged. Smith and his fellow WFIT staffer were the only broadcast journalists at the event and their reports appeared on the World Retail Congress website.
Studying at FIT fulfills one of the two goals Smith set for himself when he decided to study fashion communication: 1) attend the "best college for fashion," and 2) become a fashion broadcast journalist "who can take the profession to a whole new level."
FIT fills the bill, he says. "The college creates so many opportunities for students. Its connections with industry are amazing. Our professors and alumni are from industry. Every department has an industry advisory board. And the FIT name is so well respected in the industry that it gives you instant credibility."
Smith benefits as a member of the elite student group of FIT Baker Scholars. The group includes 40 recipients of scholarships that are awarded annually, thanks to a $2 million endowment from Patty and Jay Baker. "Being a Baker Scholar not only eases the financial stress of being a college student in New York City, it makes me a part of a group of individuals who are as passionate and determined as I am to succeed in their careers," Smith says.
Another opportunity came with his acceptance to the Presidential Scholars honors program, which draws on the intellectual and cultural resources of New York City to nurture academically gifted students, offering creative instruction and educational enhancements such as honors courses, colloquia, and arts performances. FIT's current group of 155 Presidential Scholars provides Smith with another networking opportunity and the support of like-minded future professionals, he says.
A huge benefit of being in the program, Smith says, is having the ear of Honors Coordinator Irene Buchman, who "guides us and listens to us, and gives unbiased advice." Dr. Buchman calls Smith "an ideal student to benefit from this unique program." Smith adds: "It's another reason I'm glad I chose FIT."

When questioning a certain mid-flow connecting a line from A to Z, that could be a defining moment for tropes. TV tropes come in all shapes and sizes. What are TV tropes? Like the girl who remarked of the windless day, and then the wind arrives. Or the boy who complimented the lack of rain, then it started to rain outside. Those moments one could redirect to either a coincidence or a sign of sorts. Or those other moments that just waste air time. Here is a mixture of both.
"Three's Company"
Set the ropes for this domino effect. There must be hundreds, no, thousands, of Helen Roper tropes. Stanley lived a life of tropes. Always expecting one thing but getting something completely different.
Klinger to "Mash", more tropes? Every time Klinger wanted an out he came up with some con, but nothing ever worked. No matter how close, no matter who assisted, he just never got far. More expected tropes to add to the ropes.
Reality TV
Reality and talent shows are shows within shows, a.k.a. tropes. Getting to the center of this takes more than just five minutes. Try at least thirty minutes of long, drawn out script of tropes. You know what they say? Tropes sell. Or at least they kill enough time until the commercial line-up.
"The Brady Bunch"
Kramer, the character who lives across the hall from Jerry Seinfeld, does some stupid things. Why he does what he does, no one knows. Like letting foreign people sleep in his dresser drawers or the money offer he turned down for a less-than-idiotic deal with the tobacco company. All tropes. The spit before it hit the ground was a trope. And yes, there was a potential spit-ster behind the grassy knoll.
From vampire to frozen princess, "General Hospital: celebrates their 50th by freezing one of their characters. Luke and Laura try to search for their daughter, who is on a boat, frozen by some Cassadine family members. It's "General Hospital" for goodness sake, and this is Luke and Laura we're talking about, so yes, even their frozen daughter could be saved–after being frozen. All that time in between was filled with tropes. The do-what-we-can techniques that lasted about one minute and the long goodbyes and memories that flashed on the script assisted in those tropes.
Consider posting a comment.

How many artists / producers can count Jay Z, Snoop Dogg and Pharell as fans as well as drum and bass' finest Andy C, Hype and Pendulum; enjoy heavy rotation in the hands of dub-step royalty such as N-Type and Skream; and have each release enthusiastically supported by Annie Mac and Zane Lowe? This is what Saul Milton and Will Kennard, producing under the name Chase and Status, have achieved in 5 years, and the highlight of their young career so far has been their debut LP 'More Than Alot' which has helped turned them into a unique urban phenomenon, and the biggest crossover act to come out of the underground since Pendulum.

No one wants to eat alone on Thanksgiving, not even girls with pink hair and neck tattoos, who are really just daughters, after all.
In Peter Hedges' sweet 2004 drama "Pieces of April," April Burns (Katie Holmes) has invited her suburban family to her Lower East Side apartment to celebrate the holiday. It will mark the first time her family has visited her new apartment, the first time she has cooked the family dinner, and, she hopes, the first time she and her family have enjoyed each other's company.
April desperately wants her family, and her mother especially, to see that she is no longer a failure. She has changed. She has a job and a wonderful boyfriend. She can prepare Thanksgiving dinner.
But hers is the heaviest turkey that has ever lain in a roasting pan. She seems to think if she fails at Thanksgiving dinner, the rest of her successes mean nothing – or will mean nothing to her mother.
She is probably right.
The film cuts back-and-forth from April's struggles with Mayflower-inspired cuisine to her family's journey from Pennsylvania. Throughout the drive, April's mother (Patricia Clarkson) expresses nothing but bitter dissatisfaction with her oldest daughter.

Will Eminem's daughter study psychology post graduation?
Speculations are rife that Eminem's daughter Hailie Jade Scott Mathers, who recently graduated from Chippewa Valley High School in Clinton Township, Michigan, may either study psychology or entrepreneurship at university.
The 'Rap God' singer's daughter won a number of prestigious accolades, including an Academic Excellence Award, and credited her parents for her success, Contactmusic reported.
Mathers wrote on the school district's website saying that her mother and father pushed her to be the person she was and have given her all the support to achieve what she had.
Mathers was also honoured with a Department of Psychology Award.

Alfajores 29Jul09
I was really excited about my 100th post, so much so that I made alfajores to celebrate. I have been meaning to makes these for quite some time. I've always wanted to try Matt of mattbites.com's version because his photos look so scrumptious I want to eat the screen! But of course I can't find store bought dulce de leche here so I had to make my own. I did it the cheater way simmering a can of sweetened condensed milk submerged in water for an hour and 45 minutes gives you delicious dulce de leche. I've always wanted to try that method! Sure the can could explode and I could possibly suffer burns but that's the fun right? Okay to be honest I was scared the whole time. But the key is to keep the can completely submerged so it doesn't explode. I used the biggest pot I could find and filled the entire thing with water… just in case!
So Alfajores… a delicious latin treat with two biscuits and dulce de leche in the middle. And then of course powdered sugar on top! I actually really liked the biscuit by itself with just a little sprinkle of powdered sugar. They're a little cakey and not your usual cookie crunch. Almsot like a little pancake… in fact the house smelled like pancakes the whole time. Mmm I'm going to have another one now.
Recipe adapted from Matt at mattbites.com via Martha Stewart
1 can of sweetened condensed milk
3 cups of all purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cups of butter, softened at room temp
1 1/4 cups of granulated sugar
2 eggs
3/4 cup of milk
1/4 cup of fresh squeezed orange juice
1 tablespoon of orange zest
1 teaspoon of vanilla
powdered sugar
Preheat oven to 350°F or 180°C.
Step 1: The dulce de leche!
In a large pot (don't use a nice one), put a can of sweetened condensed milk in it and fill to cover the entire can so it's submerged with cold water. Place over medium heat and bring to a boil. Lower that to medium low and let that simmer away for 1 hour and 45 minutes. Keep an eye on it and make sure that the water level is always a few inches above the can! Once the time is up, remove the can with tongs and set aside to cool completely before opening. Make sure it's cool before opening!!! Quick stir with a spoon and there you go, dulce de leche!
Step 2: The mixing!
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt and set aside. In another mixing bowl, whisk together the butter and the sugar until light and fluffy. Now add in the eggs one at a time and whisk until combined. Then add in the flour mixture a little bit at a time and mix until all combined. It should be pretty thick and doughy by now, so pour in the milk and mix. Now add in the vanilla, orange zest and orange juice. Mix until all combined and there you go!
Step 3: The baking!
Grease and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Using a tablespoon or small ice cream scoop, dollop the dough on the baking sheet about 1 -2 inches away from each other. Place in the oven and bake for 14 minutes, rotating and switching the trays halfway to make sure it's evenly baked. When ready, place on a cooling rack to and leave until cool.
Step 4: Assemble and eat!
Once your cookies are ready, try to match up the cookies that are the same shape… hopefully they're all round! Just put about 1 teaspoon of dulce de leche in the middle and press together. Top with some powdered sugar and they're ready to be eaten.
If you don't have dulce de leche or a spare can of condensed milk, you can put your favorite jam or frosting in it. Mmm this would be great dipped in some melted dark chocolate. I might have to try that next time! Mmm I think I'll have another one now. Tea break anyone?

Just as young people were headed to universities across the nation and the K-12 back-to-school season was percolating in parents' minds, a front-page Washington Times' headline disclosed on August 17: "Scores show students aren't ready for college — 75% may need remedial classes."
A statistic like 75 percent gets people's attention. Worse, the Times article quoted an education advocacy group's finding that "80 percent of college students taking remedial classes [in 2008] had a high school GPA of 3.0 or better." So apparently, even when students score well, they don't know much. How is that even possible?
At least one luminary at the U.S. Department of Education (DoEd) decided not to sugar-coat it: Longtime former U.S. Commissioner of Education Statistics, Pascal D. Forgione, Jr., Ph.D., now persona non grata within the department's hierarchy, issued an indictment of American schools in 1999 that surfaced on the Internet, despite mighty efforts by component agencies like the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) and the Institute of Education Sciences (IES) to scuttle it.
"Our idea of 'advanced' is clearly below international standards," he admonished in his now-famous speech.
Same story in 2011. Associated Press publicized the news September 14 that "SAT reading scores for the high school class of 2011 were the lowest on record, and combined reading and math scores fell to their lowest point since 1995," as written in a Washington Times report by Justin Pope.

Strange Roads is a new 72-page chapbook from Peter S. Beagle. Comprised of three stories, it is available now from its publisher, DreamHaven Books, and also from Conlan Press.
The premise behind the collection is interesting — each of the stories is inspired by a different painting or sculpture from the talented Lisa Snellings-Clark, and these pieces serve as the illustrations in the collection. Mr. Beagle's description of the specific process of this inspiration is described in the essay "Writing from Pictures," in his email newsletter, The Raven. (If you aren't receiving The Raven, you can sign up for it at http://www.peterbeagle.com/raven. I recommend it.) All three stories were begun by Mr. Beagle in the space of a single hour, while sitting on the steps of his late parents' house, as his business manager held a stopwatch to his head. It's a genesis as unique as the stories themselves, with the sly humor, humanity, and awe of beauty that are characteristic of Mr. Beagle's writing. Not to mention that irresistible touch of strange....
"Spook" is a frankly funny story. It features the return of Joe Farrell (whom Mr. Beagle describes as his "literary alter-ego"), previously seen in "Julie's Unicorn," "Lila the Werewolf," and The Folk of the Air. Farrell's artist lover, Julie Tanikawa, is offstage throughout "Spook," visiting relatives; this establishes the basic tension and time limits of the story, for as it happens Julie's beautiful, perfect new studio is haunted by an unpleasant ghost, and Joe has to get rid of the thing before Julie comes home and freaks out. In this he is aided by his friend Ben and their mutual…acquaintance, the geeky and deeply annoying Andy Mac.
Characterization is one of Mr. Beagle's strong points; so is a fine appreciation of the absurd. Both are shown to advantage in "Spook." Joe is miserably aware that Julie, though she loves him, would dump him at once if she had to choose between him and a good north light. Ben had arrived to help Joe move into the new studio; now he's going along with the exorcism problem as if they had just found an infestation of mice, but his more rational self is offended by the whole thing. It's also offended by the necessity of Andy Mac.
Andy Mac is arrogantly psychic, greedy, needy, petty and he hates Joe. Also, he smells dead. He is an hysterically accurate portrait of a kind of "sensitive" person whom most of us have met and loathed; a kind of human flu virus, whose main benefit is that surviving him will leave you immune to the problem for a while. But he's good at what he does, and he manages to broker a deal with the ghost. It consents to a duel with Joe, winner take the studio and — much worse — Julie. As the challenged party, Joe gets to choose the weapon. He chooses bad poetry at 20 paces. And at this point, "Spook" becomes a vehicle for some of the funniest dreadful poetry ever committed to helpless paper.
One really has to wonder what sort of education left Mr. Beagle conversant with this awful stuff. One wonders it while groaning out loud, giggling helplessly and running off to Google the more egregious offerings in disbelief. Because all the poems are real; the only actual horror of this ghost story may be that the weapons-grade poesy flung about is all absolutely genuine. And it stays with the reader much more firmly than the most detailed description of any rampaging and bloody-minded spirit — The Ring can eat its heart out, because the poetry in "Spook" is a lot worse than any damp chick crawling out of the telly.
And incidentally, the cover of Strange Roads features the painting that inspired this story.
"King Pelles the Sure"
King Pelles rules a small, peaceful country; not the sort of place that needs or breeds heroes. But he longs for heroism, and dreams of a nice little war that will bring all the gold and scarlet and trumpet calls of the sort of saga he envies.
The Grand Vizier tries to dissuade Pelles, but to no avail. In an effort to avoid as much of the actual horror of war as possible, he therefore tries to carefully stage-direct the thing. King Pelles wants "...a gracious war, if you possibly can. Something...something a little tidy. With songs in it, you know." The war is eventually set in action like a tea party, by invitation only. But it is promptly crashed by the sort of people who really wage wars, and disaster ensues. King Pelles and his Vizier successfully escape: but Pelles is wracked with guilt. In the end, he finds a way to save not his poor country (which he suspects will be better off without him) but at least the lives of two virtuous men, and ultimately redeems himself.
This might be viewed as a children's story: King Pelles and his Grand Vizier discuss the pros and cons of his longed-for adventure during afternoon sessions with the King's toy soldiers on the parlor floor. The narrative is direct and simple, but it is the simplicity of tessellated tiles: small squares of single colors, but all backed by gold and glowing with a composite light greater than any one, tiny tile.
Told in the classic, semi-medieval style of the Innkeeper's World tales, this is a deceptively brief piece. It's also probably the deepest story in the collection. One is drawn inexorably and almost gently into Pelles' awareness of the dreadful juggernaut he has unleashed. But one also sees his gradual evolution into a man who can take personal responsibility for what he has done. His fate is quiet and there are no trumpets at all, but he is sure of what he must do. Pelles at the end is undeniably a hero.
Unhappy citizens of any country whose leader has no clue of what war means will be left especially moved....
"Uncle Chaim and Aunt Rifke and The Angel"
"Uncle Chaim and Aunt Rifke and The Angel" is a semi-autobiographical story skewed a neat 90-degrees from reality. Mr. Beagle did have an artist uncle, like David, the young protagonist of the story (in fact, he had three, the famous Ukrainian-American social realist painters Raphael, Isaac, and Moses Soyer); like David, he did spend a lot of his youth watching one or another of his uncles work in their studios. And like David, he had no artistic talent, and so watched that particular process of creation in helpless wonder. Unlike David, though, his uncles' muses stayed private and invisible.
But in this imagined world, Uncle Chaim — who claims that Goya and Matisse have always been inspiration enough — suddenly acquires an angel. She wears a blue gown and has hair the color of the sky just before dawn. She has wings, which prevent her from sitting down but don't otherwise seem to hold her up; she flies by the Will of God, she informs Uncle Chaim. She also informs him that it is the Will of God that she come to him to be his sole model and muse from now on. Uncle Chaim is not impressed. David is, but he gets accustomed to her. He has to, since the angel does not leave; and Uncle Chaim, though he expresses considerable irritation at abruptly being saddled with an implacable celestial muse, gradually begins to paint nothing but the angel — all the time, in all manners and lights and shadows, endlessly, day after day. My favorite painting is described as the angel hovering upside down over an easel, reciting Pushkin, as "...Uncle Chaim thought he might be entering a surrealist phase." How much more surrealist does one have to get, with a stern blue angel as one's muse?
Uncle Chaim is not obsessed, and the paintings sell well: but he really does paint nothing else, and gradually that begins to bother both David and Aunt Rifke, Chaim's wife. This is a splendid story of place — the New York of Mr. Beagle's childhood is beautifully described, the archetype of the special family habitats and habits that form all our first models of the world — but as Uncle Chaim paints the angel over and over, it slowly expands into a story of souls.
Men, we are taught, have souls; angels are souls. Humans therefore inhabit a fortress, which is their bodies — but the blue angel is unarmored in a thousand ways that gradually become exposed to the watching Aunt Rifke and David. This leads to a marvellous, tragic, and unexpected denouement, wherein it is discovered that angels are subject to all the woes of mortal flesh: except a way to save themselves. Redemption, it turns out, is a uniquely human skill.
In Strange Roads, Mr. Beagle has produced a marvelous little gallery. Get it, read these wonderful stories, and contemplate the ways art extends itself from medium to medium, from mind to mind.
[Strange Roads can be ordered at DreamHaven Books. Unsigned copies are available now, and signed copies will be available by April. For a little more money, personally autographed copies can be purchased through Conlan Press.]

Iridium Ore (IndustrialCraft 2)
|Iridium Ore (IndustrialCraft 2)
|Iridium Ore (IndustrialCraft 2)
|Source Mod
|ID Name
|Yes (64)
|This article is about the Iridium Ore item added by IndustrialCraft2 that is used in crafting Iridium Plates. You may be looking for the Iridium Ore Block added by GregTech that can be mined or processed in a Macerator to create Iridium Ore.
Iridium is an extremely valuable resource added by IndustrialCraft2. It is found in Sheldonite Ore and Iridium Ore blocks. In the Direwolf20 Pack, it can only be obtained through a Mass Fabricator. In GregTech, Iridium Nuggets provide an alternative source of Iridium, which cannot be crafted into the Ore, but serve a similar purpose otherwise.
Iridium Ore can be made in a Fusion Reactor by using Lithium Cell and Wolframium Cell. This is an endothermic reaction and consumes a lot of EU.
Also with GregTech, Sheldonite Ore can produce Iridium Ore using a Pulverizer (1 Sheldonite Ore, 10% chance) or Rock Crusher (1 Sheldonite Ore, 10% chance).
Iridium Ore can also be produced by using UU-Matter produced in a Mass Fabricator or a Matter Fabricator depending on the GregTech difficulty setting. If GregTech is installed, a Mass Fabricator cannot be used. The UU-Matter recipe can also be disabled in the GregTech config file, however it is enabled by default.
With Advanced Solar Panels installed, Iridium Ore can be made in the Molecular Transformer by putting in an Iron Ingot, which will transform into 1 Iridium ore after 9,000,000 EU.
Iridium ore is not used directly, but is required to craft Iridium Plate. Iridium Plates are used to craft the QuantumSuit and many mid- to high-tier items in the Gravitation Suite and GregTech mods. With GregTech, the only purpose of Iridium Ore is to be compressed into an Iridium Ingot.
This recipe is disabled in GregTech. See Iridium Plate for the alternative recipe, however 4 Iridium are still required.
IC2 Experimental[edit]
In Experimental build first iridium could be found in the chests near spawners with a chance ~20%

With so many computer form factors to choose from, helping customers find the right computer for their needs may seem daunting. It doesn't have to be. Each form factor is optimized for a certain set of possible uses.
Desktops and All-in-ones are a great choice for customers who are more interested in speed and storage at a great price rather than portability. Users can perform almost any task they need to - from playing games to running a spreadsheet program. These sturdy machines come with a greater storage capacity than most other computers. Best of all, they start at a comparatively low price, making them a great option for price-sensitive customers.
All-in-ones are a sleek and simple option for a customer looking for something as robust as a desktop but smaller in size. Some also come with a touchscreen monitor.
Laptops are portable and offer similar storage capacity and performance as desktops making them a great option for customers who are looking for a computer for work or school that they can carry with them.
Netbooks don't have the same storage capacity as laptops or desktops, but are lightweight and super-portable. That makes them a great choice for customers looking for a second computer to work on on-the-road or for someone who plans to use the computer mostly for Internet browsing.
Lightweight and more portable than netbooks, Tablets are the perfect choice for customers who want a computer for reading eBooks, watching movies, playing games, browsing the Internet and emailing friends.
For customers who are interested in using a computer to find directions, keep in touch with friends and look things up online, smartphones make a smart choice.

Weird News: When Self Love Almost Kills You
Weird News: When Self Love Almost Kills You
Weird News: When Self Love Almost Kills You
You'll go blind. Your palms will grow hair. You will go to hell. You will be unable to perform or possibly finish with another human person involved. These are the things that we generally consider as downsides of masturbating. While some of these self-love consequences are farfetched, they don't compare to screaming death.
Per Salon, a man in DC was preparing for his brother's wedding by fiddling with his diddler (also self-abusing). It should be noted that the man is Indian and no one knows when he may have another chance to explore given the length of those nuptials. Things go as planned until the grand finale. Rather than the typical climax of flower petals and orchestral overtures, this one was a full-blown destruction of Alderaan in his brain.
As the old wives' tale goes, the lights went out for him but he managed to get a hold of his brother on the biggest day of his life and get dragged to a nearby hospital. Evidently, the problem was an Arteriovenous Malformation and maybe the whacking wasn't 100% to blame. Please have a look at the Salon story for the fallout.
In hindsight, I probably shouldn't have written off instances of bedroom numbness and tingling as just mind-blowing orgasms or, at worst, a mild heart attacks. While this may not ever happen to you or me, it's probably good to have a medical alert bracelet or text service in place. While it's not the same as autoerotic asphyxiation gone wrong, we should all save our parents the indignity of having to tell everyone at the Rotary Club that we died doing what we love.

Identifying with another person is an essential process for human beings. It is commonly seen throughout the world as people adapt and change with new styles of clothing, language, behavior, etc., which is illustrated by infants that begin to mirror the facial expressions and body movements of their mother as early as the first days of their lives. This process is highly related to compassion because of the fact that sympathizing with others is possible with people from different countries, cultures, locations, etc. A possible source of this process of identifying with others comes from a universal category called, "Spirit". Toward the late 1970s, very different cultures and nations around the world took a turn to religious fundamentalism, which has occasionally been attributed to "Spirit". The more one person knows about the human condition and the associated experiences is another route to identification. The importance of identifying with others for compassion is contrasted by the negative physical and psychological effects of abandonment. Compassion seems to be characteristic of democratic societies. The role of compassion as a factor contributing to individual or societal behavior has been the topic of continuous debate. In contrast to the process of identifying with other people, A complete absence of compassion may require ignoring or disapproving identification with other people or groups. This concept has been illustrated throughout history, such as: The Holocaust, Genocide, European colonization of the Americas, etc. The seemingly essential step in these atrocities could be the defining of the victims as "not human" or "not us". The various atrocities that have been committed throughout human history have only been relieved through the presence of compassion. Suffering has been defined as the perception of a person's impending destruction or loss of integrity, which continues until the threat is gone or the person's integrity can be restored. Personality Psychology agrees that people are inherently different and distinct from one another, which should lead to the conclusion that human suffering is always individual and unique. Suffering can result from psychological, social, and physical trauma. Suffering appears to happen in acute forms as often as chronically. There is an inherent difficulty in knowing that someone else is suffering because of its lonely nature, which leads to the conclusion that many people may not know they are suffering. They may instead point to their external circumstances with the early stages of suffering being quiet or not discussed. The later stages may involve the person expressing their victimization and searching for help. Compassion is recognized through identifying with other people, the knowledge of human behavior, the perception of suffering, transfer of feelings, knowledge of goal and purpose changes in sufferers, and the absence of the sufferer from a group. A recent international survey suggests that compassion toward animals is correlated with compassion toward human beings. Earlier studies also established the links between interpersonal violence and animal cruelty. Compassion may have the ability to induce feelings of kindness and forgiveness, which could give compassion to have the ability to stop situations that occasionally lead to violence.

Worst: Did You Know We Are One Of The Greatest Tag Teams Of All Time? Here's A Helpful Brochure That Explains Our Position
Good: The Hardys, The Wolves and Team 3D all respect each other and want to be TNA Tag Team Champions, so they've agreed to face each other in a series of matches to see who's the best. It's simple, effective, will lead to a lot of fun matches and cuts out the omnipresent "I ATTACKED YOU BACKSTAGE AND HAVE AN ISSUE WITH YOUR LOVED ONES" Impact middleman.
Bad: None of this matters. None of it.
I mean, nothing really matters in WWE either, but at least they usually put enough space between their moments to give them significance. Remember when Bully Ray was the Big Bad of the company? Remember when Devon lost his job because he was a key member of a biker gang that was ruining everything for everyone? Remember how much of a personal issue Bully Ray and Jeff Hardy had? No? Because now they're old WWE chums who love each other and just wanna put on fun wrestling matches for the people. It's a less obnoxious version of the old Vince Russo "that's all fake, but this is REAL."
It's all built around reputations earned in other companies. Reputations that they will NOT STOP TALKING ABOUT. Remember a few weeks ago when TNA landed in NYC, and the ECW guys spent 20 minutes talking about how important ECW was? Then EC3 showed up, and they went "WE DON'T TALK, WE FIGHT!" And you were like, "shit, have you been FIGHTING for the last 20 minutes?" That's happening here. These men of total nonstop action cannot stop SAYING they are great. They have a meeting backstage and everyone's all "we are the greatest tag teams ever." The Hardys come to the ring and say "we're one of the best tag teams in history, and we got back together to show that we're the best tag team in the world." That brings out Team 3D, who confirm that the Hardys are one of the best teams ever and add that THEY ALSO are one of the best teams ever. The Hardys agree. They bring out the Wolves, and the Wolves explain that they are okay having a match because the Hardys and the Dudleys are the BEST TEAMS EVER. It's like, f*ck, guys, I get it. And every time they pause at the end of a sentence, Mike Tenay chimes in to explain that WHAT THEY MEAN TAZ IS THAT THEY ARE TWO OF THE BEST TEAMS EVER. WE'RE GONNA FIND OUT WHICH OF THESE TEAMS IS THE BEST TEAM EVER. DID YOU HEAR WHAT THE WOLVES SAID, TAZ? THEY SAID THE HARDYZ AND TEAM 3D ARE TWO OF THE BEST TEAMS EVER.
In my brain, this segment ends with Sam Shaw reenacting the theater scene from Inglourious Basterds on them.
Worst: Mike Tenay
Just to throw this out there, Mike Tenay's still the worst part of TNA in a walk. Worse than the racism, the kidnapping, the violence against women, the dumb wrestling decisions, all of it. The guy cannot stop brutally explaining everything that is said or done. James Storm could say "I like the color red," and before he's done Tenay will already be saying THE COWBOY JAMES STORM SAYING THAT HE LIKES THE COLOR RED. It's stupid. Anderson and Shaw are trying to have an I Quit Match built almost exclusively around hearing the wrestlers talking to each other and on microphones, and EVERY SINGLE TIME someone's got a mic to their face being asked to give up, Tenay's yammering over it about whether or not they'll say they quit. Shut up, dude, we're trying to watch the wrestling.
Commentary is just that … commentary. You comment on what happens. It's not a noise track. You aren't gonna lose your job if you let us hear the crowd or the sound of what's happening in the ring.
Best: The Least Satisfying Installment Of MILF Hunter Ever
1. Dixie Carter is great, and I'm happy they gave us a reason why she doesn't just wheel her fine ass into the Manhattan Center and fire everyone. She's been humbled, but she's already starting to plan her revenge. That way they can keep her off TV as long as they'd like and focus on something else without us having to ask "Where's Dixie?" They can bring her back whenever they want.
Spoiler alert: Dixie's revenge will involve a faction of wrestlers, including a few you CAN'T BELIEVE HAVE SIDED WITH DIXIE. The inmates are running the asylum, hoo boy!
2. Mike Tenay looks more and more like The Worm from Labyrinth ever day.
Worst: The Kidnapping Of Sanada
As concerning as the whole "white guy kidnaps a minority and stores him in a shack with a bunch of nooses outside" thing is, here's what bothers me the most: James Storm's big plan is to make Sanada the new Great Muta. He's calling him "The Great Sanada" and he'll be "revealed" next week.
Serious question: Sanada is a young guy from Japan who loves pro wrestling. If you wanted him to dress and act like Muta, couldn't you just stop him in the hall and say "hey man, you should dress and act like Muta?" He'd probably do it. It's like asking Edge if he wants to dress up like Hulk Hogan and do the Hogan poses. Why would he need a mean-spirited cowboy to brainwash him? Is the Great Muta's secret origin that Stan Hansen took him out for drinks and stiffed him on the tab?
Best: The Finish To The Knockouts Match
First things first, calling your division "Knockouts," putting them in a match where the goal is more or less to knock your opponent out and then calling it "Last Knockout Standing" is really hilariously complicated. To win the match you should have to TKO someone so they're out on their feet, but not knocked out enough to fall down.
Second things first, I'm giving this match a Best because they went home when they should. That's a big problem in not only TNA, but in wrestling … if you build to a big moment, that's your big moment. Don't feel like you always have to keep escalating. Gail basically Samoan drops Angelina Love off the ropes onto a chair, and it's SOLID. They give the crowd a minute to let it sink in, then Gail gets up before 10 and wins the match. That's the way to do it.
Worst: Velvet Sky
The entire match is a 2-on-1 handicap match. Velvet helps Angelina do everything. Then, when it's time for the finish, Velvet just stands at ringside making upset faces and pawing at Love's arm while Gail stands up and wins the match. Hey Velvet, shouldn't you … I don't know, run in and start stomping Gail so she doesn't win or something? I don't think you should be out here at all if you aren't gonna factor into the finish (or get "taken out" by Gail in some dramatic way to ALLOW the finish), but what're you doing?

Caralluma Slim
Appetetite suppression from caralluma and antioxidants from green tea.
Carulluma Slim is a diet supplement that contains the increasingly popular carullama fimbriata plant and the antioxidant powerhouse, green tea. Similar to hoodia gordonii, caralluma is also a cactus plant that is believed to suppress appetite and increase energy thereby leading to faster weight loss. Whereas hoodia comes from Africa, caralluma hails from India where it is considered a famine food and consumed by natives when food is scarce.
CarallumaSlim is one of the first diet supplement products that contain this natural and possibly weight-reducing plant.
- Caralluma Slim may help to facilitate a weight loss program
- Green tea is a powerful antioxidant
- Caralluma is believed to have very few, if any, side effects
- CarallumaSlim is expensive
- Automatically enrolled in the auto-shipment program upon signing up for the free trial offer
- Produce website does not contain important information
- Website contains contradictory pricing information
- No proof that Caralluma Slim contains real caralluma
- No diet or exercise program to follow while taking product
CarallumaSlim contains caralluma extract and green tea extract.ADMINISTRATION
You are encouraged to follow the dosage instructions on the product's label.DIET and EXERCISE
There are no specific diet and exercise guidelines that you should follow while taking Caralluma Slim.CONCLUSION
Caralluma Slim is a diet supplement intended to help enhance weight loss because of its two key ingredients: caralluma fimbriata and green tea. While caralluma may have appetite suppressing effects, no successful weight loss program is complete without a proper diet and exercise program. Caralluma Slim does not require that you follow such a program nor does it contain key information on the product's website.
Even though caralluma may help to aid in weight loss, caution should be used when considering taking CarallumaSlim.Common Misspellings

CSU Prepares Top-Quality Teachers(March 6, 2003) Eighty-three percent of the graduates of California State University teaching credential programs received high marks from their supervisors for their level of preparation to teach reading and math skills in elementary schools, according to an evaluation to be reported to the CSU Board of Trustees on March 12.
This level of CSU effectiveness improved from one year earlier, when 81 percent were evaluated favorably for their preparation in reading and 80 percent in math, according to their experienced supervisors.
"Our reforms in teacher preparation are producing dividends," said CSU Chancellor Charles B. Reed, "and the children in California's public schools are the beneficiaries. We intend to keep the focus on preparing outstanding teachers. Our goal is for every graduate of our credential programs to be a top- quality teacher."
CSU realized even greater improvements in preparing high school teachers. Ninety percent of CSU graduates teaching in grades 9-12 received high "preparation grades" from their supervisors, up from 86 percent one year earlier. In high schools, CSU graduates teach all subjects ranging from English and math to science, history and the arts.
"School principals and other site-supervisors assess our graduates very thoroughly, and are telling us that CSU teacher education is very effective," said Executive Vice Chancellor and Chief Academic Officer David S. Spence. "This is especially reassuring when you consider that 95 percent of the supervisors have worked with many first-year teachers during their careers as school administrators."
A similar evaluation by the National Center for Education Statistics, a federal agency, showed that first-year teachers throughout the country were less prepared than CSU graduates – as much as 17 percent less prepared in the case of high school teachers.
In 2000-01, almost 10,500 teachers graduated from 21 CSU campuses located throughout California from Humboldt to San Diego.
Other results of the CSU evaluation:
The new teachers rated the value of distinct courses and fieldwork activities in their CSU preparation programs, which they completed one year before answering the evaluation questions. For 84 percent, the assistance provided by classroom teachers in the student-teaching phase of their preparation was very valuable and helpful. Preparatory courses in reading instruction for grades K-8 and in advanced instruction for high school teaching were also very helpful and valuable before teaching began.
The evaluation revealed that only half of the CSU teachers received the benefits of student teaching because school districts throughout California hired the others as classroom teachers before they finished their preparation. This premature hiring of unprepared teachers is the strongest barrier to the effectiveness of CSU teacher education programs, according to the evaluation report.
Initiated by the CSU Office of the Chancellor and the Deans of Education, the evaluation gathered reports from 2,442 randomly selected teachers and 2,002 supervisors, and had a margin of error less than four percent.
"We started this evaluation to see how we stand in relation to our own high standards, and where we need to improve," said Chancellor Reed. "We will continue to set high goals and to monitor the progress of our teacher education programs to be sure we are continuing to produce outstanding teachers for California's public schools."

Mutola returns to Pre Classic
Maria Mutola, who has honored the Prefontaine Classic with 15 consecutive victories, will be honored herself when she competes in the IAAF Grand Prix meet at Hayward Field for the last time on June 8.
Mutola, retiring after this season at age 35, will run the 800 meters against a field that includes Kenia Sinclair of Jamaica and Nicole Teter of Eugene.
During the meet, the Pre Classic will also retire the No. 1 bib number that Mutola has worn for the past 10 years. Instead of being issued to future athletes, the No. 1 bib will be the centerpiece of the Maria Mutola Outstanding Athlete Award, which will be presented for the first time upon the conclusion of the meet.
More details in Tuesday's print edition of The Register-Guard. Meanwhile, here's recap of Mutola's incredible winning streak:
Mozambique's Maria Mutola has dominated the meet at Hayward Field with 15 consecutive wins, losing only her first Pre race 17 years ago.
Year Event Place Time Notable
1991 1,500 DNF NT Plumer's shove marked her Pre debut
1992 800 First 1:58.67 The beginning of the win streak
1993 1,000 First 2:32.57 She set Hayward Field record
1994 1,000 First 2:33.33 Beat Jacobs by six-plus seconds
1995 1,000 First 2:32.33 Field, meet marks take tumble
1996 1,500 First 4:06.86 The last of her Pre meet 1,500s
1997 800 First 1:57.57 She topples field, meet records
1998 800 First 1:58.66 Season debut is an easy victory
1999 800 First 2:00.30 The slowest of her 800 triumphs

About The Culinary Trust
The Culinary Trust gives culinary professionals the tools and opportunities to understand and act on critical issues in the world of food.
The Culinary Trust started its corporate life on February 7, 1984 under the name Cooking Advancement Research and Education Foundation (CAREF). Its first Trustees were the late Julia Child, CCP, Shirley Corriher, CCP, and Marlene Sorosky, CCP. CAREF was a charitable foundation formed to support research and education in the broad fields of culinary studies, whether from a scientific, literary or practical standpoint. Among CAREF's significant accomplishments was providing scholarships for culinary education and grants for culinary research at a time when the culinary field was emerging from its popular perception as a trade to its current status as a profession.
The International Association of Culinary Professionals is The Culinary Trust's supporting membership based organization. The IACP connects culinary professionals with the people, places, and knowledge they need to succeed.

I am curious about how to inspire people to action and I believe the ideas are prior to actions, ideas cause inspiration and drive person forward.
You might think great ideas are a privilege of creative freaks or innovators who run big life-changing businesses. That's not true. Ideas are everywhere, you just need to develop ability to play with them. How to do it? Simply do what feels true to your nature.
To quote one of my favorite sayings,
- "Don't ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it.
Because what the world needs is people who have come alive" (Howard Thurman)
I started ideascrossroads.com to explore ideas that make people to come alive. In search for inspiration and ideas worth living for I've created this place and the entire concept of crossroads.
This is a place for PEOPLE DRIVEN by IDEAS.
For those who believe ideas can spark people's minds, move them forward and inspire great things to be done.
But wait, why "crossroads"?

Any comments? Evidently we do not convert K1 to K2 very efficiently.
DoloresView Thread
What concerns me about this calcium scan is that I read that your arteries could be filled with plaque but no calcium could show up on the scans because as yet there just isn't any. My son in law had this test and is very confident he has no artery problems because they found no calcium. If he does have plaque, now is the time to attend to it before calcium shows up on the scan but he feels very safe because of the result of this test.
DoloresView Thread
I also refused a stress test a couple of years ago. I figured, if there is any question--start changing your lifestyle. So regardless of what any test might find as far as artery disease is concerned, diet, exercise, meditation and maybe some other things would be the route I would take anyway so why take the calcium scan and end up having your doc insisting on meds you don't want to take anyway? I have diabetes and know I have a greater risk of lots of things than non diabetics so I don't need any test to tell me that.
Or maybe I have the wrong attitude.
DoloresView Thread
You could have a test which shows no calcium but that does not mean you are heart attack proof because you could still have plaque filled arteries. Do we know for certain that the higher the calcium score the more likely you are to have a heart attack? If so is it the calcium or the fact that your diet is so poor that it causes blocked arteries which cause calcium to be laid down as a protection?
I do not have the reference but I remember many years ago reading that a study was done that showed that eating lettuce was more protective than omega threes and people who ate the greens had fewer heart incidents than those eating omega threes. (I think this was around the time that everyone was oohing and ahing over the lack of heart attacks among the Inuit.)

The Next Nelson Mandela
Thursday, 02 January 2014 21:43
We have lost one of the world's passionate defenders of the right to food. ... Mandela understood that a hungry man, woman or child could not be truly free.
— General José Graziano da Silva, Director, Food and Agriculture Organization of the U.N.
By Joe Romano, Marketing Manager
As we enter the new year, many of us at GreenStar have resolutions to keep. Perhaps we wish to be more effective or more efficient people than we have been to date. Perhaps, like many, we have feasted through the holiday season and are ready to lose some weight. While we look forward with resolve to a new year, we are usually moved to do better by the events of the last.
In 2013, as the holiday season unfolded, the world mourned the death of Nelson Mandela. We heard a lot about him, but most tellers shied from the full story, which is an important one.
It's possible that you heard about the death of Nelson Mandela, the revolutionary leader of the UmKhonto we Sizwe, an armed radical wing of the African National Congress, or ANC, which was associated with the South African Communist Party. After pleading guilty to 156 separate acts of public violence and terrorism, Mandela was imprisoned for 27 years of his life. While in prison and after his release he openly aligned himself with Fidel Castro in Cuba, Robert Mugabe in Zimbabwe, Libya's Muammar Gadhaffi, Iraq's Saddam Hussein, Yasser Arafat of the Palestinian Liberation Organization, and other dictators.
You more likely heard of the death of the saintly Nelson Mandela, a man who devoted his entire life to justice, equality, humanity, and humanitarian causes. His life was an example of forgiveness and transcendence. Imprisoned by the brutal apartheid government for 27 years, upon his release he became the first democratically elected president of South Africa, transforming a nation known for oppressive racism and civil strife into a country that Archbishop Desmond Tutu rightly called a "rainbow nation at peace with itself and the world."
In all the commentary and coverage of the ceremonies commemorating his life and death, very few have tried to reconcile these two Nelson Mandelas. Either they paint him with the rosy colors of tribute or brand him a terrorist.
But there's an important lesson to be learned by putting all of these qualities into one man.
"If you were to ask, was the armed struggle an essential component to the defeat of apartheid, the answer would have to be 'yes.' One that doesn't sit comfortably with the saintly images the media wish to portray,'' said Wayne Dooling, Professor of History at the University of London's School of Oriental and African Studies.
Mandela had allegiances that some Americans might not understand. That was because they helped him achieve his primary goal, the transformation of his nation through resistance, at a time when few were aligned with his vision, including the United States. Mandela was a freedom fighter. Of course, one person's freedom fighter is another's terrorist. Indeed, Mandela was on the US terrorist watchlist until 2008, fully 14 years after he had become president. "Mandela was not Gandhi," said Dooling. "Once he had committed himself to armed struggle, he did not waver until the onset of political negotiations in 1990." The life of Mandela is easy to reconcile if you recognize that he was a man who simply did what was necessary.
"To him," said Jacob Zuma, South Africa's current president and himself a former militant, "for South Africa to attain peace, the armed struggle was inevitable, but it was a means to an end, not an end in itself." That end was to see his people rise from institutionalized racism, poverty, and hunger. "Freedom is meaningless if people cannot put food in their stomachs, if they can have no shelter, if illiteracy and disease continue to dog them," Nelson Mandela once said.
According to the UN Food and Agriculture Organization, the ANC government of South Africa, founded by Mandela, studied food insecurity in South Africa and put together a plan to address it. From 1999 to 2008, as a result of these measures, food insecurity was decreased by more than half. According to their survey, "by 2008, the prevalence of food insecurity had decreased in all provinces ... and food insecurity in the Northern Cape had decreased dramatically, from 63 to 14.2 percent."
Closer to home, the USDA reports that in 2012, 21.2 percent of households in America were food insecure or experienced very low food security. 49 million Americans lived in food-insecure households, and African American households are more than twice as likely to be food insecure as white, non-Hispanic households. By Mandela's measure, people who live with food insecurity are not "truly free."
As a new year begins, GreenStar members make many a resolution; we plan to start fresh. We examine our ideals, who we are as women and men. We envision our best selves, and we resolve to become better people. Maybe we'll eat better. Or get more exercise. Maybe we'll volunteer more of our time, or become active in our community. We have the luxury of choice because we are free. But what of the institutionalized racism, poverty, and hunger in our communities? What are we willing to do to end them? We're luckier than Mandela was, because for us violence isn't necessary, but we can use his lifelong commitment as a guide to what must be done.
We can all do more to help. GreenStar is dedicated to Food Justice and to social equity through our FLOWER program that makes our food more accessible to community members on public assistance, through our BASICS program, and our new everyday case sales. Our non-profit affiliate, GreenStar Community Projects (GSCP), works tirelessly on Food Justice issues. But there is more we can do. In this case, it truly takes a village.
There are many organizations, like Building Bridges, GSCP, S.T.A.M.P., the Congo Square Market, Gardens 4 Humanity, GIAC, the Multicultural Resource Center, the Center for Transformative Action, Local First Ithaca, the Team Unity project, Whole Community Project, and local food banks and food kitchens working to make our communities work for everyone. Find out what they do and get involved; make a donation of time and money. More important, make a difference.
"What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived," Mandela said. "It is what difference we have made to the lives of others that will determine the significance of the life we lead."
People ask who the next Nelson Mandela will be; why not make it you?
Happy New Year from all of us at GreenStar!

Suppose you were hiring a new superintendent for your diocesan school system. Whom would you select?
(a) A longtime Catholic schoolteacher.
(b) A Catholic business leader conspicuous for his fidelity to the teaching of the Church.
(c) A retired public school superintendent who (according to a former colleague) "sees public schools as more qualified than anyone-- including private or charter or other similar schools-- to provide what students need for the future" and who donated $300 to Hilary Rodham Clinton for US Senate Committee, Inc.
If you're the Diocese of Syracuse, your answer is (c).
