Student Growth Percentiles
Student Growth Percentiles (SGP)
A student growth percentile (SGP) describes a student's growth compared to other students with similar prior test scores (their academic peers). Although the calculations for SGPs are complex, information can be shared in percentile terms that are familiar to most teachers and parents. This site provides an overview of student growth percentiles, a new method of measuring student academic growth introduced by OSPI in March 2013.
We expect to begin the process of calculating SGPs for the 2014-2015 school year once the record reconciliation process is complete in early October. At this time, we plan to publically release the results in November. As part of the transition to the Smarter Balanced assessments, approximately one-third of students statewide participated in field tests and did not receive scores for a statewide annual assessment in the 2014 school year. Students must have at least two consecutive years of state assessment results to receive a one-year SGP. To ensure accuracy, we will omit those students that participated in the field tests from any one-year SGP computations. To determine the best course of action and examine options for calculating student growth metrics for all students, we will further assess the representativeness of these omitted students.

Some like it hotComment on this story
Death Valley, California - Would you holiday in hell? "Come to Death Valley!" screamed the advert. "It has all the advantages of hell without the inconveniences," it continued, an April Fool's joke printed in The Death Valley Chuck-Walla - A Magazine for Men in 1907. It must have seemed terribly funny at the time. However, the pranksters were on to something.
Crossing the Deadman's Pass and Funeral Mountains, I pulled to a stop just outside Furnace Creek as a scaly chuckwalla lizard ran for cover, a flash of movement against the bare stone. Nearby, in the middle of the deserted children's playground, a rusty swing creaked in a barely-there breeze. There wasn't a soul to be seen. Death Valley sizzled in the midday sun.
It was here, among the cracked valleys, tall dunes and deep canyons of eastern California that the highest temperature ever recorded on Earth was reached. It happened exactly a century ago today. A day that went down in history, one in which swallows in full flight fell to the ground dead as the mercury rose to a blistering 56.7C.
That's hot, even by Death Valley standards, where the average July temperature is a roasting 46C. Last week Death Valley was on the brink of topping its own record during the current Californian heatwave. However, according Cheryl Chipman, a Death Valley National Park Service spokesperson, "It got very hot last week, but the 1913 record still stands."
For a time, Libya held the top spot (58C was recorded in El Azizia, south of Tripoli, in 1922) but the readings were later discredited by the World Meteorological Organisation; Death Valley's record was reinstated.
The summers here are indeed brutal, but they are also peak season for travellers. First on the agenda for most of them: a hike through Mosaic Canyon, formed millions of years ago and famed for its colourful rocks. I scrambled up slippery slabs of pale marble as the winding three-mile trail narrowed through tight passages until opening up to a natural amphitheatre of dark-red cliff faces.
Later, I hit the road with the air conditioning on full, driving along a stretch of shimmering Tarmac that sliced through the valley. The view was punctuated by dead trees with twisting limbs and dunes that rose and dipped into the distance.
Travelling north-east, I crossed the Nevada state border and rolled into Rhyolite, the largest of Death Valley's four ghost towns. The discovery of gold at the turn of the 20th century lured people in their droves. Rhyolite was soon a 10 000-strong metropolis, complete with churches, bars, hotels, and even its own stock exchange, opera house and red-light district.
The good times were not to last. Even by 1908, the mines were failing. By 1920 the population fell to just 14. Today, dilapidated buildings line what was once Shriner's Parade, a busy thoroughfare of shops and saloons. The long-forgotten remnants of the grand casino and three-storey Overbury Bank still stand, crumbling reminders of past prosperity.
Death Valley is said to have earned its macabre name from some pioneering miners from the East Coast. Seeking a shortcut to the riches of the Californian gold rush in 1849, they crossed this barren wasteland with wagons and oxen but soon ran into trouble. They were lost for two months; one of the party perished but the others emerged unscathed. Turning for one last look, one of of the survivors muttered a final farewell: "Goodbye, death valley."
Others had settled here long before the miners showed up. The Timbashi Shoshone tribe have lived in Death Valley for thousands of years. "Every summer we ask ourselves why we live here," said elder Barbara Durham. "But we like our desert, our night skies and solitude. Our forefathers had it worse. All we have to do is hop in our caravans and switch on the swamp coolers [a form of air conditioning]."
But what makes this place such a furnace? Low elevation is partly responsible. Death Valley - one of America's largest but least visited national parks despite its proximity to Los Angeles, which lies 275 miles southwest, and Las Vegas, 120 miles east - is the lowest point in North America. Badwater Basin sits 282ft below sea level, encircled by mountains that trap and recirculate the heated air.
Being one of the driest places on Earth doesn't help much either. Four mountain ranges separate Death Valley from the Pacific, each dispersing moisture as the clouds roll east until almost nothing remains. However, Death Valley hasn't always been so arid. Around 10,000 years ago these basins were deep lakes fed by water from receding glaciers.
The conditions may be extreme but life thrives. Many of the 400 animal species here have adopted novel ways of survival. The white-tailed antelope ground squirrel uses its bushy tail as a parasol; the kangaroo rat cleverly reabsorbs vapour from its own breath.
For me, though, there was only one option: the spring-fed swimming pool set among shady palm trees at The Inn at Furnace Creek. Accommodation in Death Valley is limited to a handful of campgrounds and resorts. The Inn is the park's most luxurious option and has been in operation since 1927. Marlon Brando was a regular back in the days when the restaurant served rattlesnake and scrambled eggs for breakfast. He always had room 107. Down the road and neighbouring the Timbashi settlement, is the inn's sister property, the family-friendly Ranch at Furnace Creek.
Stationed outside the 224-room property is the Old Dinah, a 1894 steam tractor, and ore wagons that replaced mule teams used by the early miners searching for gold and borax. Elsewhere there's a golf course (the world's lowest), a Wild West-style saloon and general store (the only one for over 30 miles) and stables tended to by a Stetson-wearing cowboy called Tony.
"Sunset is my favourite time to ride," he said as we set off through tamarisk trees towards the parched valley floor. A black-tailed jackrabbit appeared from behind a clump of silvery desert holly, presumably keeping watch for coyotes. Tony isn't from these parts. He hails from Colorado but was first drawn to Death Valley many years ago. "Death Valley is a harsh but magical place," he said from within a haze of swirling dust created by the disturbed sand.
We rode in silence as the sun softened and dipped beneath the Panamite Range. Behind stood the rugged Funeral Mountains, rising like giant pieces of crumbled cardboard with deep ripples and dark crevices. Up ahead were sparkling salt flats, infinitely spread out and illuminated by the warming tones of the gently setting sun. Hell? It was rather heavenly, if you ask me.

For three years I had been listening to the voice of Hope, and for three years I had waited for a footstep on my threshold.
You can hear every footstep, which detracts from the experience exponentially.
A tread, every footstep of which might have been passing over them, was close at hand.
Here is something like the footstep of one who has worn a shoe; can it be that of our friend?
I was just falling into a troubled sleep when a footstep on the gallery startled me back to consciousness.
But no footstep ever passed the floor immediately below: except his own.
It was very rare for a footstep, except on Sundays, to cross that lovely spot.
No sound of footstep was stirring; no sign of human figure in sight.
There wasn't a sound now, but she could have sworn she had heard a footstep on the hallway above, or on the upper stairs.
Yes, it was a footstep light and rapid, coming along the gravel-walk.

Due in part to increasing tensions with Iran, crude oil prices have been rising. For some perspective on the globe's crude oil supply, today's chart focuses on the big five oil producers. Of the big five, Russia and Saudi Arabia have significantly increased production as of late. However, it is worth noting the continuing decrease in US oil production as well as ongoing geopolitical tensions (i.e. Iran, Iraq, Nigeria, etc.), does leave open the possibility of supply disruptions in an already tight oil market. Stay tuned…

5 Responses to "Crude Production by Country"
What is primarily responsible for the drop in US oil production? I've seen a chart of all the oil platforms in the Gulf of Mexico, and it's unbelievable… I'm wondering if it's regulation or just a lack of resources.
I tend to believe it's regulation. I have a few friends in the western part of Kansas who had oil derricks that are unprofitable to run at anything < $50/b. This makes me wonder if it was more an effect of price, and if the issue might begine to resolve itself.
Glad to see you giving more attention to oil (interesting previous post on the futures being at all time highs).
For anyone interested in this subject, Simmon's book _Twilight in the Desert_ is a must read – and generally oil is too important to be taken for granted by anyone concerned with the 'big picture.'
Simmons argues that the Saudi oil well, while large, are starting to deplete, perhaps dangerously. They've been pumping for 50 – 60 years, and he thinks they have been damaged by periods of overproduction that reduce the oil ultimately recoverable from the well. (It's much more complicated than sucking a milkshake through a straw.)
After a well has produced more than 50%, getting the remainder out is increasingly difficult. So, the takeaway is thatthe Saudi's have little ability to ramp up production to meet increasing world demand, and that the problem will accelerate rapidly as production starts to decline.
See the interview with financial sense (generally sympathetic to peak oil concerns)
and speeches from Simmon's site
(Yes, he's a Wall St type, Harvard MBA & on the ouncil of Foreign Relations)
This is part of the general concern about peak oil – not that we're 'running out' but that discoveries haven't made up for depletion. We're hitting the halfway point where it becomes harder to get at the same time as global demand increases. (Very bullish!) Thus, we go into deeper water offshore, more risky countries politically, and take on projects with less expected return in barrels of oil.
Please take 5 minutes to read the Peak Oil Primer
(Click over to the main page there for more news items.)
Chad, from the Peak Oil Primer I referenced in the last post
"In the 1950s a U.S. geologist working for Shell, M. King Hubbert, noticed that oil discoveries graphed over time, tended to follow a bell shape curve. He posited that the rate of oil production would follow a similar curve, now known as the Hubbert Curve (see figure). In 1956 Hubbert predicted that production from the US lower 48 states would peak in 1970. Shell tried to pressure Hubbert into not making his projections public, but the notoriously stubborn Hubbert went ahead and released them. In anycase, most people inside and outside the industry quickly dismissed Hubbert's predictions. In 1970 US oil producers had never produced as much, and Hubbert's predictions were a fading memory. But Hubbert was right, US continental oil production did peak in 1970/71, although it was not widely recognized for several years, and only with the benefit of hindsight.
"Although it passed by largely unnoticed, the U.S. oil peak was arguably the most significant geopolitical event of the mid to late 20th Century, creating the conditions for the energy crises of the 1970s, leading to far greater U.S. strategic emphasis on controling foreign sources of oil, and spelling the begining of the end of the status of the U.S as the world's major creditor nation. The U.S. of course was able to import oil from elsewhere, and life continued there with only minimal interuption. When global oil production peaks however, the implications will be far greater."
The next section asks about the global peak….
Considering Canada is your primary foreign source of oil I find it amazing that we didn't get mentioned in that chart.
We are into oil and energy services and we have the capacity to arrange sales of crude oil through NNPC. We also arrange chartering of vessel in the oil sector of nigerian economy especially in offshore because of new Carbotage law in Nigeria. We export cocoa, charcoal, kola nut and garcinia kola.

Sandy Hook Elementary School's library was open for school families to stop by on Thursday, January 16, to take out books while C.H. Booth Library remains closed for remediation work after a January 4 flood caused by broken sprinkler pipes.
Sandy Hook School library/media specialist Yvonne Cech said the school library was open from 3:30 to 6:30 pm, and was run completely by volunteers.
Roughly 30 families attended the event, and Ms Cech said people came in groups ranging from two to five. Every family, she said, was appreciative of being able to visit the library and check out books.
"They took out stacks and stacks of books," Ms Cech said. "We had no limit, and books will be returned in 30 days."
Ms Cech said the Family Library Night will allow families the chance to read together while C.H. Booth Library remains closed.
"It's a really important message to get out there that families want to read to their children and they should continue to do it while Booth Library is under renovations," Ms Cech said.
All Sandy Hook School families were invited to take advantage of the event.

Single-copy magazine sales have declined at supermarkets. Is it a temporary blip caused by the tough economy or the beginning of the end of the category?
What should grocery retailers do about their magazine departments?
That question will be asked more often in coming years as new technologies, including the latest versions of the iPad and Kindle, hit the marketplace and more consumers look to digital to get their news and trends.
Magazines have always been a big profit center for grocery stores for a number of reasons. One is because many—especially the so-called women's titles—have traditionally sold well at food stores. A second reason is that magazines carry strong price points and high margins. A third is that many publishers have been willing to pay retail display allowances to retailers for room at the front end.
For decades, it has been a very happy marriage. Publishers had a great outlet to sell magazines to a decidedly female marketplace and retailers were making money from a segment that actually led to more sales at the store when many magazine readers would come back for ingredients necessary for those recipes in the issue.
But that could be changing quite quickly. The pessimists amongst us—some call them the realists—say that as the Baby Boomers fade out of the scene, younger generations will pay little attention to magazines, foregoing paper products for digital products at every opportunity. Many in this group suggest that retailers abandon their in-line magazine sections and dramatically pare down magazines offered at the front end.
The opportunists, of course, take a totally different tact. They say that magazine sales have been more impacted by the sluggish economy of the past four years and that as the economy rebounds, hopefully, so will single-copy magazine sales. They ask retailers to be a little patient with the magazine section with the promise that better days are ahead.
From this angle, they are both right.
There is little doubt that younger consumers are more reliant on the Internet for their information, whether it is news, fashion trends, sports scores and features or other information. These shoppers are simply not going to rush to a store to purchase a magazine for some later casual reading in the near future.
But that is not to say that these consumers will never pick up a traditional magazine again. To the contrary, I can tell you that the 20-something women in my office all seem to be reading a copy of one or another fashion magazine, especially during the late summer and early fall periods. They tell me that there is no way that the latest fashion designs can be offered to these shoppers in a better setup than a 700-page issue of Vogue or Cosmopolitan.
Also, the gossip periodicals, led by such titles as People and Us Weekly, continue to be extremely popular with consumers and, though sales may be down, these magazines still command a lot of interest among consumers, young and old.
So where does that leave retailers? The answer is that they should not give up on magazines just yet. The top titles will continue to post solid single-copy sales as long as publishers keep giving consumers what they want and are willing to make an impulse purchase based on the cover or a big story inside. That means retailers need to look at their mix of titles at or near the front end and determine what publications to keep there and which ones to no longer place at the checkout.
At the same time, retailers may want to take a real close look at the in-aisle magazine section. Here, it gets a lot trickier. It may be time to cut the amount of space—and the amount of titles—offered in-aisle. The days of offering hundreds of different titles no longer works because the consumer is no longer coming into the supermarket looking for specific magazines.
The magazine section is changing with every new sale of a smartphone or tablet. But giving up on this segment may not be a wise move quite yet, especially as many consumers demand their favorite periodical at the place where they have traditionally purchased them.

On the afternoon of Jan. 4, 9-year old Tinaa went on a walk in Yakutat, like she did most days. When she didn't come home that evening, the family wasn't really worried.
Tinaa is a dog - a Pitbull/Blue Heeler mix - and her name means "copper" in Tlingit. Her owner, Ron Buller, says she often visits apartments around the town's community center. Hours later, she always returns home, sometimes even too full to eat her own dinner.
"I went out that night looking for her and I didn't find her anywhere," said Buller. "I figured she was just visiting someone, you know?" ...

Today i've flashed a nighly port of CM9 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2722721), running naa-ics-04. Everything was fine to the moment I wanted to listen to some music. After conecting my headphones, the first thinh i saw that the small icon doesnt appear at the notification bar as it happened to on other phones. the second thing was that when I played a song through Play Music, it was played throug speaker, not the connected headphones.
I had this problem on other rom also, and it was fixed by flashing a file that i just dont remember. Don't tell me that i shoul use Soundabout or any simillar apps, cause' its not a real sollution.
Thanks in advance, spindrion.

Remember When
In 1936 (75 Years Ago)
Bremerton school board members are considering suggested a total raise of $3,300 in salaries for teachers.
The chances for raises is helped by the fact Bremerton will receive a $17,000 increase in state funds.
Teacher salaries currently cost the district $142,750 per year.
Bremerton school board members approved the local prep football squad's trip to Honolulu this fall.
The board's OK is tentative. Suitable arrangements must be worked out and approved by parents, and the state high school athletic board must allow any out-of-season football activity.
The squad was invited for a game by Honolulu's McKinley High School.
In 1961 (50 Years Ago)
Bremerton voters will make history in tomorrow's city general election when they participate in the state's first serious write-in campaign using voting machines.
Special written instructions will be provided on each machine, allowing people who wish to make write-in votes to do so without giving up their privacy.
The Navy has no objection to the annexation of Puget Sound Naval Shipyard into the city of Bremerton.
City commissioners are to annex the shipyard at their meeting Wednesday and the annexation is to take place on Friday.
The annexation will allow the city to gain additional state funding based on population.
In 1986 (25 Years Ago)
A Bremerton man who carries the virus for AIDS won't be charged with a felony for allegedly biting his roommate in the neck Sunday during an argument. Instead, Prosecutor Dan Clem expects the man to be charged with simple assault.
"The felony statutes just don't cover this situation," he said.

Whether defending the rights of interred Japanese-Americans during World War II, fighting a cross-Sound bridge or serving as an inspiration for the novel "Snow Falling on Cedars," Walt Woodward personified integrity.
The Bainbridge Review editor from 1940 to 1961 died Tuesday. He was 91.
When he bought the paper, he attached the motto: "The only newspaper in the world that cares about Bainbridge Island."

15-Year-Old Mentally-Challenged Girl Gang-Raped During Science Class, While Teacher Does Nothing View Count: 236
A 15-year-old mentally challenged girl, with an IQ of 60, after months of being bullied by boys at her school, was raped by two of them during science class under her desk while the teacher did nothing to intervene. The girl was sexually assaulted and "orally sodomized" and when she struggled to resist them, they "hit her on the head whenever she tried to escape." One of the students even danced on her desk, so it is unclear why the teacher did not respond.
The school, Martin de Porres Academy, did however fire the teacher. The girl, identified as K.J. in the media, was the only girl amidst 13 boys. Many of them were known to have "violent propensities" and are residents of De La Salle, a juvenile delinquent's home.
K.J.'s mother was unable to get her transferred, though her daughter was bullied for months. School officials did respond in December by putting her in a room with one of the boys who had been sexually harassing her and told them to "discuss their issues." After this final incident, though the girl reported the incident to her guidance counselor the next day, the school failed to report the crime.
Martin De Porres executive director Edward Dana said in a statement that "As soon as we learned about the allegations, we conducted an internal investigation. As a result of our investigation, the teacher was fired."
Meanwhile, they worked "with detectives from Nassau County who advised us that no charged would be filed against the alleged assailants."
The mother has filed a lawsuit Friday.
"It's mind-boggling how this could happen," said attorney Madeline Bryer to the New York Post.
"We want the community to know that we hold our teachers to a high standard. Our top priority is the safety and well-being of the children in our care," claimed Dana.15-Year-Old Mentally-Challenged Girl Gang-Raped During Science Class, While Teacher Does Nothing by Daniel June

When Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom first appeared together on the then wildly popular Keeping Up With the Kardashians, viewers knew Lamar as an LA Laker. In a few short weeks he became a household name. It's not that he wasn't (as) famous before, but it was a whole new world filled with interviews and paparazzi following him everywhere. For a kid who lost his mom at 12 and had a heroin addict for a dad, things had changed.
Viewers of Keeping Up With the Kardashians had serious doubts about the quick marriage of Khloe and Lamar in September of 2009. "Lammy" as Odom, 34, was affectionately called by his new wife, was shown sparingly for that fourth season but E! Entertainment Television took care of that with the addition of a new reality show, Khloe and Lamar.
When Khloe and Lamar premiered in April 2011, it was an instant hit and Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom became huge stars. For Lamar, episode one pulled on the heartstrings as Khloe pushed for a reunion between Lamar and his father, Joe. In hindsight, Khloe's well intended plan might have backfired. Fast forward to August of this year and the shocking news that Odom had indeed followed in his father's footsteps, except with crack (and possibly Oxycontin and Ambien) rather than heroin.
Looking at his past, it's not surprising that Odom could have a host of issues. Along with the loss of his mother and his dad's drug use, he lost one of his children, Jayden, at just 6 1/2 months, to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) in 2006. Odom has two other children, Destiny, 16 and Lamar Jr., 13 with his ex-girlfriend of ten years, Liza Morales.
Aside from drugs, Odom has a little problem with remaining monogamous. Even though he met Khloe while he was broken up with Morales, she reacted like he had cheated. Once with Khloe, not only did he cheat, he bragged about it in a Rapping Under the Influence of Something video! Some incriminating lyrics include,
"And when Khloe's out of town / I still be on the DL." His friend adds, "You know what it is / We the QU [Queens] pimps / Ask any of these shorties / We ran through their cribs."
Soon after the public found out about Odom's drug problem, he was pulled over on the 101 freeway in the San Fernando Valley for going too slow. He failed field sobriety tests.
"He did what no one should ever do, he refused the chemical tests," Leland Tang, Public Information Officer for the California Highway Patrol said. "That means that his license is revoked and Lamar could get the most powerful attorney in the world and he is still not going to have a license for a year."
The media was expecting Odom to enter a treatment center like most public figures do after being outted. Not Lamar, it seems he did a stint in 2012 totally under the radar! Recently, Odom received his sentence for the incident, which he pleaded no contest to. He ended up with three years probation, alcohol education classes and $1814 in fines. Now, both Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom have DUI records.
During this entire debacle, Khloe, 29, has remained fairly quiet. She hasn't really talked about him or their marriage short of a few Twitter comments and obvious sadness at the mention of his name on a recent KUWTK episode. According to new reports, the rambling rap video has set Khloe over the edge and it seems those reports were on the money. Khloe has just filed for divorce.
The timing of this was clearly well orchestrated! First the "Lamar's Rap Sets Khloe Over the Edge" reports. Two days later, she posted a dramatic quote on Instagram. Just after filing on Friday, her brother Rob tweeted a message to her and her mother tweeted a clearly pre-written note. Maybe the least shocking surprise here was the release of a promo last week for the next season of KUWTK, including plenty about the breakup!
As calculating as these moves might be, the family sticks together like glue. In the promo, Khloe's sister, Kourtney, is on the phone with Lamar as he tells her he would do anything to be accepted back into the family. Sadly, he adds, "You guys are all I got." While the family will probably continue to support Odom, do you think he'll make any appearances during the new season? As much support as Khloe has, do you think she'll be pushed to make choices that are good for the show rather than good for herself?

POSTED: 1:30 a.m. HST, Nov 2, 2012
State sheriff deputies recaptured a fugitive Thursday, less than 24 hours after the inmate escaped from the Circuit Court building on Punchbowl Street.
The Sheriff Division's Fugitive Team apprehended Darius Puni-Mau outside the Pali Safeway store at about 10 a.m. without incident.
Courthouse deputies discovered Puni-Mau missing at about noon Wednesday.
The Sheriff Division's warrant and criminal investigative follow-up sections used intelligence about Puni-Mau's associates and hangouts to track him down, said Shawn Tsuha, state sheriff.
"We actually had a break in the sense that somebody had said that a particular vehicle was seen," he said. "We were able to narrow that vehicle down."
Puni-Mau was not in the vehicle, and it wasn't at Safeway when sheriff deputies captured him, Tsuha said.
Based on the evidence and investigation of the escape, Tsuha said officials are pretty sure Puni-Mau entered the courthouse's third-floor ceiling above the interview room where inmates talk to their lawyers before and after court hearings, crawled in the ceiling about 40 feet, dropped down into a utility closet and walked out a nearby exit.
They found bits of broken ceiling tile and a slipper in the room where they believe Puni-Mau entered the ceiling. They found the second slipper in the ceiling and footprints where they think he dropped down and walked out.
Tsuha said there were about a dozen inmates in the interview room when deputies discovered that Puni-Mau wasn't there. A large glass window allows the desk sergeant to see into the interview room.
Standard operating procedures do not require the presence of a deputy in the room. However, one is often assigned there, Tsuha said.
But on Wednesday there was a higher-than-normal number of inmates at court, leaving the interview room without a deputy. And with many inmates going in and out of the interview room at a time, Puni-Mau was able to climb into the ceiling unnoticed, he said.
From the beginning, the physical evidence suggested only one inmate had crawled into the ceiling. However, because a state judge had ordered another inmate released from custody at court that day, Tsuha said the headcount suggested two missing inmates. It wasn't until the last transport van — which was late due to the traffic backup because of a garbage truck crashing into an H-1 medial barrier — returned to Oahu Community Correctional Center on Wednesday night that prison officials were sure that there was only one missing inmate: Puni-Mau.
Tsuha said his division is doing a review of what happened. The division is also consulting with the state Judiciary, which owns and operates the building, on ways of better securing the interview room. The Judiciary took contractors into the courthouse Thursday to make assessments of the work needed to secure the cellblock interview room, Judiciary spokeswoman Marsha Kitagawa said.
A state judge sentenced Puni-Mau in February to probation for felony criminal property damage and misdemeanor abuse of a family or household member. He was taken into custody in June for entering a dwelling without permission and committing two more counts of abuse of a family and household member. He was supposed to be sentenced for the new charges Tuesday, but he failed to return from a pass on Oct. 17 to get a drug abuse assessment.
Puni-Mau was recaptured later Tuesday, and on Wednesday was supposed to face a judge about his earlier probation violation.

Wth... The whole drama, was giving Mr Han TS a hard time just cause he love the a gal of his choice. Only to be betray by her... In the end he choose the other gal to marry but the writers didn't want to give me that too... So wat the hell the whole drama is apsaying that when a guy love a lady, he will end up being alone. Don't give much mean to love. It's like a curse to love.
it is a nice drama the way i see not only the love between Mr han and Mi Do and their story,story teach us when you love your family and your friend no matter how much they make you angry and disappoint forgive and help them to forgive each other and move on your life and their life for positive way.
this is a good drama. very unique story. i teally started to like korean dramas not only because of this but because of other series that i have watched, actually i loved the story of this a lot, although it's drama and sad, you will learn a lot, love and forgiveness. i love mi do's character plus shes very beutiful, i just kinda feel stuck, confusing and kind of not satisfied at the ending, i kinda dont get it. lol. she doesnt end up either one of tjose two guys who came to her life. im on jae hee actually but i also like tae sang.. but i really dont know. i love the story and i wish that she ended up with the guy he really like, either jae hee or tae sang. its notalways happy ending ;( im happy that i knew and watched this. it's touching
onlymean ending of love story doesnt have to always be wether this man or that man.. watch carefully and u will see that the ending shows 'subjectively' who is actually the man that Mi Do choose.. that's just the creative way so that it will not be predictable and too ordinary just like other dramas.. good job.. i like it.

Historic Dead is a live album by the rock group the Grateful Dead. It was recorded at the Avalon Ballroom in San Francisco, California in late 1966, and released in June 1971.[2][3][4]
Historic Dead was produced as a vinyl LP on the Sunflower Records label and distributed by MGM Records. Sunflower had purchased the rights to a number of concert recordings from the Avalon, including some by the Grateful Dead.[5] Historic Dead is therefore not a bootleg album. However, the band did not participate in its production. The album reached number 154 on the Billboard 200.[6] It has long been out of print, and has never been issued on Compact Disc.
Historic Dead was preceded by another Sunflower Records album recorded at the Avalon in 1966, Vintage Dead.

SIR RIDER HAGGARD'S "AWFUL EXAMPLE." Rider Haggard is what Booth Tarkington calls one of the most author authors alive. He has written a Parliamentary blue book with a title so long that we cannot devote space to its reproduction here, states the New York "Sun." It is about Salvation Army colonies in the U.S.A. (not the Union of South Africa, either). Then he wrote a hook about Cetewayo-our inven tory is not chronological-and seven books on economics and social problems (Colonel hioosevelt likes 'em) and about a dozen novels, and two-or is it three ?-dozen "romances." "She" is one of the romances; so is '`King Solomon's Mines," which in cautiously we read as a small boy just be fore bedtime. What a night Oh, what a night ! Sir Rider-he's a knight, you know, a "parfit gentil knight" with whom Chaucer would have been satisfied, and who could have given the author of the "Canterbury Tales" cards and spades in a game of story telling-Sir Rider has now written another novel, called "Love Eternal," which pleased the London "Times," and maybe satisfied King George that the knighthood had been decently bestowed. Maybe. Any thing is possible in the world we live in, and so it is possible that English novel readers went breathlessly through "Love Eternal" from kiver to kiver. Ourselves, we have proceeded faithfully but without much speed. We walked, we did not run, to tlhe nearest exit, which was on page 368. For Sir Rider has done a dreadful thing, he has set himself up as an awful ex ample to every young writer. They will read hihn-the young writers-consceien tiously and with a high, stern sense of duty animating their every resolve, three re selvos to a chapter will carry you through! the twenty-one chapters. And why will the young writers read Sir Rider ? To learn how to write, silly. You don't suppose they'll read "Love Eternal" for fun, do you ? Nor to learn anything about witchcraft, demonology, superstition, immortality, how to win the wai-, what Sir Rider thintks of religion, what Sir Rider thinks of some clergymen, what Sir Rider thinks of big male bullies, &c. ? Nothing. They can find all about witchcraft and de monology elsewhere with less painful exer% tion by reading articles in encyclopiedias or the sermons of Cotton Mather. They don't care what Sir Rider thinks about religion or male bullies, because they have their own sets of thoughts on these sub jects. They might read "Love Eternal" to find out how to win the- war, but if they do they will be disappointed, or else will come away with a deep- conviction that the way to win the war is to send your hero first to India and then to France and then- . Here, here; "Love Eternal" may be a mighty inferior novel, but it is.; a novel, and it will have readers who will not than?k us if we spill the story to them in advance. Some of it, of course, it is perfectly pro per to impart.

ground on which stands, for fictive purpose, Blake Hall. WVell, to get on, Godfrey Knight had only a father, and a meaner soul never lived. He was a clergyman. For a clergy man's son Godfrey was a surprisingly well behaved youngster. We don't mean that he didn't drini, smoke or swear-later he smoked a pipe exclusively--but he was kind to Isobel, and never pulled her hair. Un doubtedly it was because her father was almost as mean a devil at Godfrey's, though in quite a different way. He was ahlways browbeating his gentle, little wife. Isobel stood up to him, rather. As if the hatred. of her father wasn't enough, she incurred the hate of Godfrey's, who saw in her a child unafraid of him.. The Rev. Mr. Knight--have to give him his handle-shipped Godfrey away to Switz erland, to a elergyian named Boiset, a pasteur as, for some inscrutable reason, Sir Rider prefers to designate him. Pastor would have been as good or better. The pastcur isation of Godfrey is about as plea sant as. any part of the novel. Not very exciting, this beaming old Swiss, but rest ful and human. You accept him easily. What you don't accept easily i. Madame Riemnes. But to arrive at her we must go back. On the way to Switzerland Godfrey had made the acquaintance of a Mrs. Ogilvy who, being interested in such matters, dis covered the boy to be clairvoyant. She used to get him over to her fine house at Lucerne on Sunday afternoons, and there Madame Riennes looked him in the eyes and Godfrey lost consciousness for an hour or two. Madame Riennes was doing her spiritual best to kill Airs. Ogilvy, an un pardonable enterprise in which she finally succeeded. Mrs. Ogilvy left her all her money, or nearly all, to Godfrey, and in such form that his father couldn't lay hold of it. Just before she died Godfrey's friend warned him to keep away from Madame Riennes, but the boy would never have been able to do so had he not confided in the stout old Pastor Boiset. The scene in which the pastor accompanies Godfrey to Madame Riefines' den and routs the witch utterly is somewhere near the level of Sir Rider Haggard's beot. The picture of the spectacled, breathless, flaming old clergyman with his feet planted firmly on the crushed chest of the Madame's favorite mummery while Godfrey sneezes from mummy dust and the Madame raves is good. Isobel, Isobel, where is Isobel ! Home, where her mother is dying, or gone to Mexico with her uncle, the British ambas sador: just before he left England Godfrey saw something that estranged him from her, and though she did write to him God frey's father grabbed the letter and locked it up in a drawer in the parsonage. So she thought lie wanted nothlng to do with her, and they were parted, as is inevitable. Sir Rider goes to some pains to explain the long separation and to make the utter absence of communication less implausible. He doesn't make out particularly well. Such a mess of dulness and bi:'a.rreiass and moralising and nonsense as Sir Rider Haggard has compounded in "Love Eter nal" has not come to our attention in many, many months. The story is quite meaningless, but that would not matter at all if it were entertainitng. It is not en tertaining, and that would not be anything to shed tears about if it exnosed any useful. purpose, however inegectively. It is nl a novel because it is devoid of truth, amusement, purpose. Anything of a cer tain lent.h which serves one or more of those objects, incapably or not, is entitled to be called a novel. "Love Eternal" is not. And now do you see why we say that the parfit gentil knight has pet an awful examnle ? Think of the harm he may do, not to readers, but to writers !

Some of Montgomery's best-known residents were the biggest losers in the collapse of one of Montgomery's best-known businesses -- Colonial Bank.
Montgomery's Bobby Lowder, founder and former leader at Colonial BancGroup, suffered staggering losses of almost $164 million as the value of his stock went from almost $27 per share to zero.
Lowder held more than 7.6 million shares of stock when regulators seized Colonial Bank on Aug. 14, according to regulatory filings. At the height of Colonial's booming stock in the middle of this decade, Lowder held fewer shares, a little more than 6 ...

Orange County's Nonprofit Investigative News Agency "Voice of OC" has been served with a demand to produce all records it had submitted to the Internal Revenue Service within the past three years, The Leslie Brodie Report has learned.
The request followed shortly on the heels of a letter informing State Bar Executive Director Joe Dunn about the existence of convenient circumstances surrounding sham charity CaliforniaALL and his publication -- "Voice of OC."
More specifically, and according to a source, the fact that some individuals and entities involved in the creation of sham charity CaliforniaALL and the subsequent unlawful transfer of $780,000 from the Cal Bar Foundation to CaliforniaALL were also involved in assisting Mr. Dunn with the creation of "Voice of OC", has caused the source to entertain the thought that "Voice of OC" may have been a recipient, at least in part, of the $780,000 misappropriated from the State Bar of California.
CaliforniaALL, a 501(c)(3) charitable entity, was the brainchild of Ruthe Ashley (a Diversity Officer at CalPERS and Vice-President of the State Bar of California) and Peter Arth Jr., Chief of Staff to CPUC President Michael Peevey.
In its brief existence from 2008 to 2010, CaliforniaALL collected close to $2 million from utility companies (AT&T, PG&E, Verizon, Sempra), including a sub-rosa contribution of $769,247.00 from the State Bar of California Foundation (DBA California Bar Foundation.)
CaliforniaALL was abruptly dissolved in June of 2010.
Morrison & Foerster, specifically Susan Mac Cormac , assisted with the legal aspects of creating the entity. Later, Sarah Redfield assumed the position of CaliforniaALL's Interim CEO; after a simulated search for a CEO, Ruthe Ashley was hired as the entity's president and CEO.
Once Ashley assumed the position, the Foundation of the State Bar of California (which is under the complete control of the BOG) made a quiet and unlawful transfer of approximately $780,000 from Cal Bar Foundation to CaliforniaALL. At the time of the transfer, the individuals controlling the Foundation were Holly Fujie, Girardi & Keese's Howard Miller, Howard Rice's Douglas Winthrop, Geoffrey Brown, and a few others.
CaliforniaALL never acknowledged receipt of the approximate $780,000 from the Cal Bar Foundation in any of its publications, although it did acknowledge the transfer on its IRS tax returns. Likewise, California Bar Foundation never acknowledged the largest grant it ever bestowed in its newsroom, the California Bar Journal, or similar publications; it did, however, recognize the transfer on its IRS returns, and in a 2 by 2 inch blurb in its annual report.
As the purpose of CaliforniaALL was to transfer those funds forward, it did so by awarding approximately $300,000 in grants to the UCI Foundation, where Mr. Dunn serve as trustee and chair of the Audit Committee.
In September 2009, Ruthe Ashley abruptly exited CaliforniaALL. In the same month and year, Mr. Dunn publicly launched the online publication, "The Voice of OC." Public sources have stated that the Voice of OC was financed by various foundations, unions, and the like.
Additionally, and according to the source, the belief is heightened given various events' proximity in time -- as noted above, Ruthe Ashley left CaliforniaALL in the same month Mr. Dunn launched "Voice of OC" (as though her mission had been completed).
Moreover, the recent abrupt departure of Thomas Girardi and James Brosnahan from 'Voice of OC" ( as though they were fleeing the scene with guilty consciences), the refusal of SAL-UCI to disclose the amount it receive from CaliforniaALL, the simulated RFP, and CaliforniaALL's pre-selection of the UCI Foundation as a recipient of funds only reinforce the suspicion. This is heightened by Mr. Thomas Girardi's lack of credibility (pursuant to findings made by a panel of federal judges), and the friendship Mr. Dunn shares with Mr. Girardi.
The request was for all documents submitted to the IRS within the past three years, which generally means the three most recent returns, and include IRS Form 990, Form 990 Schedule A, as well Form 1023.

I've had the pleasure of seeing the movie twice now, once at the Premiere and once at the Cast & Crew screening, and I couldn't be more pleased. Marvel seems to be able to pull a rabbit out of their hat every time. It's nice to have some small association with such consistent quality storytelling.
Anyway, I'm going to wait until the Art of Book comes out on the 14th to post any work, but I'll be putting some stuff up here, so keep your bookmarks hot. There's even a final battle suit design that accidentally got left out of the book, so I'll get to put up some "exclusive" content :)
Stay tuned...

|Eosinophils play a major role in the severity of exercise-induced bronchoconstriction in children with asthma.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 17048254 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|Exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) was associated with eosinophilic airway inflammation, bronchial hyperresponsiveness (BHR), atopy and airway obstruction. To understand the pathogenesis of EIB, we determine whether eosinophil is more related to the mechanism of EIB than atopy, BHR and airway obstruction. This study comprised 268 asthmatic children who underwent lung function test, methacholine challenge test, exercise challenge test, and blood tests for total IgE levels and total eosinophil counts (TEC). Urine eosinophil protein X (EPX) levels after exercise were measured by using ELISA method. EIB was observed in 195 of 268 asthmatics (72.8%). Asthmatics with EIB showed significantly increased TEC (P < 0.01) and decreased log PC(20) as compared with asthmatics without EIB. Maximal percent fall in FEV(1) after exercise was significantly correlated with TEC, log IgE, FEF(25-75%), log PC(20) (P < 0.001, respectively) and FEV(1) (P = 0.013). When the same study was carried out in nonatopic asthmatics, those with EIB showed significantly increased TEC (P = 0.01) compared with those without EIB; however, log PC(20), FEV(1), and FEF(25-75%) showed no significant differences between the two groups of nonatopic asthmatics. In addition, there was a significant correlation between the severity of EIB and TEC in nonatopic asthmatics. Urine EPX/Cr levels after exercise were correlated with the severity of EIB (r = 0.238, P = 0.014). Blood eosinophils and urine EPX/Cr after exercise correlate significantly with the maximal percent fall in FEV(1) after exercise, therefore EIB may reflect a state of eosinophilic inflammation in the airway of asthmatic children.

Ive got an 94 L reg 1.6i Ghia & have had to replace the clutch cable 3 times since I bought it. Ive had it since May.
When it went the 1st I thought it was possibly that the car had been ragged silly by the last owner. The 2nd time I thought it could possibly be the Clutch was poor quality.
Now its happened again its obviously more serious than that. It wasnt changed by a mechanic in a garage but a mate who is training to be one and he's said it could be a problem with the clutch itself.
Any thoughts/idea's/input would be greatly appreciated.

A clutch shouldn't be breaking as regularly as that, even with an older car. I'd imagine there was a bigger problem that needs to be checked out.
Take it to a professional and let them take a look.

Open through the winter from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. every day, the shelter provides a place to sleep and meals to those who don't have a place to call home, said Craig Newcomer, shelter manager.
"We're preparing for I'd say about 15 just from talking to some of the guys outside," Newcomer said. "Typically every year we have some that are chronic homeless and then we have some transients that come in throughout the season."
Changes in Pennsylvania's hospital and health care providers have meant that more clients with mental disabilities are being seen at the shelter, he said.
"We're seeing a lot more mental clients. The less severe cases can't manage their money that they receive and end up being homeless," Newcomer said.
As they continue to prepare throughout the week, anyone can help out by donating items, preparing a hot meal, volunteering or just spending time talking with clients, he said.
"We always welcome people to come down and visit and spend time with the homeless in fellowship," Newcomer said. "They need people to talk to them just like we do."
Sign-up sheets are available online for volunteer hours and meal preparation at their website www.chambersburgcoldweatherdropinshelter.org. A calendar online will show which dates and times are available for food donations and volunteer hours. Anyone interested should select a date and time and then e-mail ccwdis@ gmail.
Currently, the shelter is looking for donations of laundry detergent, coffee creamer, shampoo, lotions, paper towels, foam cups and bathroom tissue.
