A school's system of assessment permits educators to ascertain how much their students are learning. Indeed, assessments provide an operational definition of curriculum goals: it is by answering the question "What could students do if they knew X?" that teachers and curriculum specialists determine what their curriculum statements really mean. In combination, curriculum and assessment fully define what students will learn; where curriculum lays out what students will learn, assessments show what they have learned. It would be reasonable to regard assessments as simply part of the curriculum planning effort—one more element of a well-designed curriculum. However, because of the complexity of the topic, and because of its importance given the current educational focus on accountability, it warrants a separate examination.
As I explained in Chapter 9, there are many different kinds of learning goals, such as knowledge, reasoning skills, etc. Assessment methodologies must be appropriate to the types of goals being assessed. Although short-answer or multiple-choice questions might be suitable for goals related to knowledge, essay questions or oral presentations are more appropriate for measuring communication or reasoning skills. Some dispositional goals—such as persistence or aesthetic appreciation—are virtually impossible to assess formally; in these cases, anecdotal accounts may have to suffice.

Oh, where to begin with Harmony Korine's latest gonzo provocation?
Yes, Spring Breakers is indeed an outrage and an abomination. It's also some kind of masterpiece. Sort of like what might happen if Jean-Luc Godard directed a Girls Gone Wild video, here's a film that wallows in everything toxic, empty and nihilistic about American youth culture, sumptuously scolding with a knowing guffaw. It's not just a movie that has its cake and eats it, too. This is a movie that has its cake and then eats more cake.
The cake, in this case, would be barely legal bikini babes boozing and drugging it up at a Florida beach party that never, ever ends. Korine hired Gaspar Noe's genius cinematographer Benoit Debie to prowl around actual collegiate bacchanals, casting a painterly light on the multitudes of jiggling boobs and buttocks. ("The camera is like a tongue," a colleague commented online. She clearly wasn't as amused as I was.)
Disney child star refugees Selena Gomez, Ashley Benson and Vanessa Hudgens find themselves very far afield from the Mouse House, accompanied by Korine's wife Rachel as a quartet of bored undergrads longing to enact that new sacred rite of a young girl's passage into womanhood: getting blackout wasted and grinding with questionable guys for a week someplace where the music is too loud, and the weather isn't so shitty. Gomez is the odd girl out, as she attends campus Bible studies, and we're supposed to understand she's religious because her name is Faith. The other three are fairly interchangeable and doodle dicks on their notebooks during class, writing notes that read, "I want penis."
They leave Gomez back at the dorm when it comes time to knock over a Chicken Shack so they can score funds for their trip. They're armed with spray-painted squirt guns and semiotic signifiers, while Korine make his intentions plain with looping, recurring snatches of dialogue: "Act like you're in a movie." "Just pretend it's a video game." And most tellingly: "All this money makes my pussy wet."
Such tawdry trash is elevated to the realm of art by Korine's astonishing command of technique. Debie's photography alternates between sun-dappled vistas and nighttime orgies of neon. Editor Douglas Crise shatters the scenes into tiny fragments, overlapping the dialogue tracks with incongruous visuals and skipping from past to present on woozy whims. There's a slightly addled, impressionistic sensation to watching Spring Breakers as the scenes fold outward and then collapse in upon themselves, suspended in time because the party never ends.
And then James Franco shows up to take over the whole movie and possibly the world. As a meth-dealing rapper called Alien—real name Al, but he claims to be from another planet—Franco delivers one of those instantly iconic performances where you can already guess that every douchebag you know is gonna be him for Halloween this year. (Including me.) Barely recognizable beneath the long cornrows, oversized shades and ridiculous grillz on his teeth, he's armed to the bone with an arsenal of automatic weapons and even more disposable income. Alien is the walking embodiment of self-obsessed, empty-headed avarice, but the key to Franco's sly performance is that he's kind of adorable. We haven't seen a hardcore wannabe-black routine like this since Gary Oldman's Drexl Spivey in True Romance, but Franco is far too delighted with himself to be so threatening. A guided tour around his consumer-heaven domicile, punctuated by ecstatic cries of "Look at my shit!" has just rendered Baz Lurhmann's upcoming Great Gatsby even more unnecessary than it already was. How can Jay Gatsby top Alien having a ginormous plasma screen dedicated to only showing Scarface on repeat? "On repeat!" Franco squeals with an oddly contagious joy.
Welcoming our gals into his harem by serenading them with a deliriously melancholy rendition of Britney Spears' "Everytime" on his grand piano, Franco drags out the song's finale with somber keys and a whispered mantra: "Sprang breeak ... sprang breaaak ... sprang breaaak," as if the party will never end just by force of his repetitious willpower.
Of course, every party is over eventually, and this one closes with the rhapsodically ineffable image of machine gun-toting hotties in bikinis and pink My Little Pony ski-masks. Korine has always been a moralist at heart—after all, this guy made a name for himself at age 19 by penning Larry Clark's tsk-tsk AIDS exploitation drama Kids. But as a director, he's been more interested in the kind of ugly outcasts and weirdly soulful grotesques you will only find in films like Gummo, Julien Donkey-Boy, Mister Lonely and Trash Humpers.
The enfant terrible is now 40 years old, and Spring Breakers is Harmony Korine's horror movie about the so-called beautiful people. It's angry, envious and gloriously mocking all at the same time. I loved every perverted, conflicted minute of it.

Accompanied by an acoustic guitar, Casey's songs vary in nature but share a common idea of embracing the moment. Her voice lends a soothing tranquility as she illuminates life's simple beauties and successfully conveys the feelings rooted in her lyrics.
For instance, the light-hearted "Dance a Little Jig" has a summery feel; reminiscent of bare feet dancing on the sand around a campfire on the beach. "Walkin' on the Moon" is a relaxed tune describing the wonder and sweetness of young love.
Comparable to Patty Griffin and Joni Mitchell, Monica Casey tells stories with reflection and sincerity, and her beautiful singing voice and guitar tie it all together quite well.

The Rally to Restore Sanity and or Fear was a collection of educated, self-consciously ironic, snarky left of center or politically apathetic individuals most of whom I would learn had never been to a rally or protest of any kind.
So what was this?
A reaction against reactionaries? A protest against protests? Was this the largest collection of Slacktivists ever assembled in one place?
Or was it possible that Stewart and Colbert had succeeded in creating a kind of gateway drug a slippery slope into a deeper engagement with politics?

We're an objectivist audio community here. We don't necesarily believe that everything can be measured (psychoacoustic codecs prevent that anyway), but we do believe that subective opinions should be backed up by rigorous tests, intended to remove all possible bias from human subjective judgements and opinions.
I think this is a good thing. I read the following from Dibrom in a recently locked thread:
If we simply let people go around making claims without challenging them, we would be no further than the --r3mix days, and likely much worse even given the larger number of people that participate in these forums.
You seem to focus only on the negative aspect here (I think I know why....) and completely disregard the benefit that has been wrought by this attitude. Yes, some people might get scared off in the process, but overall, this attitude is more helpful than harmful -- much more so in fact. There have been numerous cases were real problems have been even more emphasized and brought to bear through the increased scrutiny these types of situations bring about.
I very much agree with this.
Look at the opposite case: look at most Hi-Fi magazines. They advice people on buying $1000s of equipment (not just choosing between free audio codecs!), yet their advice is usually unscientific. The listening is done sighted, and without any control conditions. Objective measurements are presented as being inferior and/or removed from what people actually hear. Manufactuers claims are repeated verbatim. Opinions are stated as fact, and little is ever questioned.
Most significantly, there is no sense in which the influence of the magazine is used to improve the state of the art. They simply comment, often in a virtually meaningless, marketing driven manner, on products which they decide to review. Rather than helping people to buy better Hi-Fi, and leading the manufactuers to build better Hi-Fi, they do the opposite: People are confused as to what really does sound better, and often buy overpriced junk; while manufactuers spend less time (and money) improving the sound of their equipment, and more time following the latest trend or marketing gimmic. The result is that it's all too easy to spend $20,000 on a Hi-Fi which sounds absolutely bloody awful!
The equivalent here would be to spend weeks encoding your CD collection using a command line and/or encoder that was pretty poor compared to the best that's been acheived, and is available for free. But we don't allow that. We don't let people claim that X is better than Y, when it isn't. We don't let people claim that Z has magical properties. We do testing, and we try to move forward. And that is a good thing.
The latest thread with Xerophase was a good thread IMO. Maybe it took two pages to express something that we should have said to him in one posting - but we were interested, he was interested, and we've got a useful result. We've learned something. By following the rulse of the forum. And by being polite and encouraging him to join in with how we do things here.
There's a lot in the "tone" of how you do something. Whether we accept unsubstantiated claims is not up for debate - we do not. But the manner in which you coax these people into doing things the right way is very important.
We've got to allow people who don't know any better (and sometimes even those of us who do!) to make unsubstantiated claims at first, so that other members can point out that they're unsubstantiated, and suggest a fair way of testing them. This doesn't mean we accept unsubstantiated claims as truth, but it does mean that people sometimes need to be allowed to post them as a starting point for discussion and investigation. "I think X" is an unsubstantiated claim, but it's OK if it leads on to "How can I test if it's true?"
We are an objectivist audio community.
If you have any good objectivist/subjectivist links, links showing the importance of evidence, proof, and blind testing against feelings and opinions, or the opposite side of the argument, feel free to post them.

"Computeraudiophile.com has a thread about the banning of a frequent poster (and manufacturer) who was quite emphatic about dismissing subjectivist's concerns. He was rather agressive but so are some rather extreme subjectivists who are manufacturers. They push their own porducts more often but weren't banned there"
Me I'm afraid! It all started reasonably but CA shifted from an Oasis of reason to one where snake oil was taking over. I never learn to shut up and slink off and I had been encouraged privately to say what I like, I'd guess to get it rolling.
Still I hate the subjectivity, I know my ears can't be trusted, so I look for proof for everything, both from measurement and from others who I've learned to respect for their ability to hear that much more than most of us.
I've also discovered that it is impossible for a manufacturer to just chat amongst enthusiasts, some will accept you and that you're likely to be biased, but others always look for an agenda especially subjectivists. They will use any method fair or foul to censor anyone with could be a valid challenge. The UK forums can be a war zone!
This is my first post so hello to all.

Matt on Kris: "KD was the pride of Boise's singer-songwriter scene when I first moved there and I always enjoyed hearing her unique take on a tired genre. We were collectively bummed out when she opted for City of Roses but when I found out it was because she was joining Drew Grow's band, I was excited because DG is amazing and so is she. This night will also be the 420 Jam Night, so anyone who wants to come down and bring an instrument is encouraged to do so...we're gonna have a hootenanny."
About Matt Hopper

He has made his living as a DIY independent artist since 2003, touring in the USA and abroad as Matt Hopper, solo artist, and Matt Hopper & The Roman Candles, a rock band.

The owner and publisher of the Glenwood Gazette, Gale Moore, was found dead in her home Friday morning, according to Western New Mexico University President Joe Shepard. Shepard said investigators believe the 67-year-old died of natural causes.
Shepard said Moore was expected to have dinner at a friend's house Thursday evening and never showed. The friend grew concerned and visited Moore's house, located on university property, Friday morning about 8 a.m. The friend looked through a window and saw Moore's body collapsed in the bathroom and immediately called central dispatch. Silver City police responded to the call before turning the investigation over to campus police, said WNMU police officer Richard Ybarra. Silver City Police Chief Ed Reynolds said the Silver City police handed the investigation to campus police because the death happened in its jurisdiction.
Shepard said Moore was a neighbor of his. He called Moore "a lovely person" who "contributed to the community through her publication."
Shepard said there was no sign of forced entry or foul play and said police are reporting it as an unattended death.
According to the Glenwood Gazette's website, Moore began the monthly in August 2000 and over the following 14 years, the free publication grew from eight to 36 pages and was distributed as far west as Tubac, Arizona, and as far east as Ruidoso. Moore stated on the Glenwood Gazette's website that she started her publication to provide information about smaller, rural communities that lacked larger media outlets.
Shepard said the university recently purchased the house Moore was renting and Moore had just found a new place to move. WNMU bought the property because it lies between the president's house and campus.

He was plotting a new instrument during an Aug. 15 phone interview from his home base in Chicago. He bought an old bed warmer for $1 at a junk shop and planned to transform it into a diddley bow - a single-string instrument of African origin.
He figured he'd fit the short-scale strummer into his suitcase to transport it to Saturday's Pennsylvania Cigar Box Guitar Festival in York.
Kaiser, 60, will headline the fourth annual event. Players from five states as well as local talent round out the lineup.
As a member of Resurrection "Rez" Band, Kaiser pioneered Christian metal through the'70s and '80s.
He grew up on the Elvis records his older siblings spun. He learned that The King's sound was inspired by black music traditions that can be traced back to the days of slavery.
"If you begin to study the stuff, you get history lessons about discrimination and poverty and struggle," Kaiser said.
Some of those themes resonate with people of all races, he added.
Kaiser, born into a white family near Milwaukee, lived the poverty blues. They were on welfare. They shopped at thrift stores. His father worked odd jobs.
Kaiser connected to delta blues and found a desire to preserve the music as it was originally played - on instruments made of nails, wood, wire and sometimes, cigar boxes.
After making about
32 rock albums, he suddenly started to feel like six guitar strings were too many.
"It was for a personal challenge to go deeper into blues roots," he said.
While doing research online, Kaiser found cigar
boxnation.com, a web
community started by York County cigar box guitar guru Shane Speal.
"I think I lurked there for almost two years before I wrote anything," Kaiser said with a laugh. But then he dove in, interacting with other users and checking out their stringed creations.
Now, he speaks the language fluently. He talked about canjos - guitars made out of soda cans - and Dobros - or resophonic guitars - crafted out of old license plates.
"There are no rules," Kaiser said of instrument construction. "There is no end to it - it's a kind of disease, but it's really fun."
Pieces can be made with items lying around the house or in Dumpsters. That makes the music accessible, and Kaiser said he feels more connected to the instruments he builds by hand. They give him a greater appreciation and awareness of the craft.
"I think it's an object lesson," he said. "You have to rethink where the notes (are). What are you going to do with that and your voice to cover or write powerful and emotive music?"
Kaiser added that stripping everything down to the fundamentals has made him a better writer, player and teacher. He shares his know-how during cigar box guitar festivals and workshops that have sprung up around the globe in recent years.
It takes about a minute for Kaiser to show parents and kids the basics of building and playing. He shows people the slide guitar method, which is often used in blues tunes. Since it doesn't require plucking, it's easier on the fingers. He also throws in a history lessons when he can.
"People don't think they can make anything," Kaiser said. "(Cigar box guitars) open up a whole world. You can read it in their faces."

Festival recognized in U.S. House of Representatives
The Pennsylvania Cigar Box Guitar Festival received national recognition July 31 when Rep. Scott Perry (R-York County) spoke from the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives. Here's an excerpt from Perry's speech, which was recorded in The Congressional Record:
"Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the York Emporium as it hosts it fourth annual Pennsylvania Cigar Box Guitar Festival in York, Pennsylvania.
The cigar box guitar is a traditional American instrument, with roots running through the Civil War, the Great Depression and the Panic of 1893. It harkens back to a time when folks would make do with musical instruments they had constructed with their own hands, using found objects.
The annual Pennsylvania Cigar Box Guitar Festival, now in its fourth year, celebrates this homegrown musical style and the ingenuity of its musicians with the largest music festival of its kind. Mr. Speaker, I ask that you join our colleagues in recognizing the uniquely American attributes that this festival celebrates."
Music and biergarten
The Pennsylvania Cigar Box Guitar Festival will run
10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday at The York Emporium, 343 W. Market, St., York.Fourteen acts will play on two stages during the free event. And this year, there will be more events leading up to the festival.
Today: Cigar box guitarist Justin Johnson will perform 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. on Cherry Lane, behind Central Market in York. At 8 p.m., Glenn Kaiser will perform with Shane Speal at the York Emporium. The concert will be broadcast live on WRCT-TV (Channel 18) and online at www.wrct.tv.

The governing crisis that ended Wednesday restored federal workers to their jobs and removed, for now, the threat of economic calamity, but we're a long way from restoring the public's faith that Congress can act in the national interest, and there's good reason for that.
The debt and budget crises did not soften either party's policy positions, nor did they provide a foundation for future agreements when the next deadlines hit in December or January, so we see little reason expect Congress to deliver on even a modest agenda to tackle the country's legislative priorities.
In addressing the media after the Senate passed the compromise bill, President Barack Obama declared "There are no winners here," certainly the understatement of the day.
Standard & Poor's estimate the 16-day shutdown cost the economy $24 billion dollars, quite a price to what was effectively a GOP temper tantrum. The shutdown hurt federal employees and needy people dependent on government programs, and it undermined U.S. prestige and credibility around the world.
In his address, the president outlined three longstanding policy priorities that he hoped Congress would take up, all three of which have been stalled by the House Republican caucus.
» "Sit down and pursue a balanced approach to a responsible budget."
» "Finish the job of fixing our broken immigration system."
» "Pass the Farm Bill."
Tackling any of these, however, would require an extraordinary commitment of both Democrats and Republicans, but especially Republicans, to walk away from ideological allegiances to forces that are utterly uninterested in compromise or, in our view, the interests of most Americans.
We don't see it happening. Even more importantly, see no signs of the emergence leaders who are willing address the underlying causes of Congress' inability to govern.
Congress is broken because too many politicians see political engagement as war, a zero sum game utterly devoid of the basic democratic values that for generations allowed our lawmakers to craft laws and policy that reflected the diversity of our nation.
Maddening, however, is the fact that it's been a minority of politicians who have been able to grind the process to a halt.
In a column written in 2011, former House Democrat Lee Hamilton offered relatively straight-forward, procedural solutions that could help prevent the partisanship that paralyzed Congress:
» Redress the outsize role of special-interest money in elections.
» Reduce partisan gerrymandering of congressional districts.
» Eliminate closed state primaries that enable ideological activists to dominate elections.
» Remove he intense partisanship of committee staffers out of the legislative process.
The problem, of course, is that both parties use these practices to their advantage when the opportunity arises.
So long as the House and Senate fail to confront the underlying causes of the partisan dysfunction in Congress, we remain vulnerable to the kinds of standoffs we just witnessed. We need leaders who are willing to fight those battles, and right now we don't see many takers.

Lights. Water. Action!
Applied Mentorship Program for Sustainability (AMPS)
The Applied Mentorship Program for Sustainability-Atlanta (AMPS-Atlanta) chapter is a mentorship and pre-weatherization training program for underprivileged youth. In it's pilot year during the summer of 2009, the Atlanta Workforce Development Agency (AWDA) teamed up with the Department of Watershed Management and the Let's Retrofit A Million Project (LRAM) to provide thousands of energy-saving compact fluorescent bulbs as well as water-saving kits to modest means communities across the Atlanta metropolitan area.
The distribution of these conservation devices managed to save city residents $2.5 million on their electricity and water bills. Renters and property managers of Mozley park, Chappel Forest, Overlook Atlanta, Ashby Park, Magnolia Park, Lincoln Park, and Flipper Temple were very pleased to receive these services free of charge. In 2010, the AMPS-Atlanta team continued to distribute these conservation items at no cost to residents in the neighborhoods of Browns Mill, Cleveland Ave, Mt. Zion, Mechanicsville, and Donnelly Garden. For 2011, AMPS-Atlanta built an maintained a ¾ acre urban garden in the heart of West End Atlanta with assistance from the West Atlanta Watershed Alliance. True to the LRAM model, AMPS-Atlanta is staffed by the efforts of a modest team of local college students and fortified by the addition of City of Atlanta high school students representing the Mayor's Youth Program at AWDA. The EcoTerns as the AMPS-Atlanta employees affectionately call them, are not only educated on the installation of conservation devices, but also on the importance of improving the environmental intelligence within their communities. The AMPS-Atlanta staff places a special emphasis on mentorship for the EcoTerns, providing them with extensive training to help with community engagement as well as education on the importance of personal responsibility, developing future goals, and understanding on-the-job professionalism.
AMPS-Atlanta is Atlanta's premier pre-weatherization training program for youth. This recession-proof team is not only stimulating the local economy by providing jobs, it is also bringing the environmental conversation down to the community level. Environmental research shows that airborne and waterborne pollutants disproportionately affect areas of modest means. The people most affected by these problems have been without a voice for entirely too long. In focusing on mentorship, community engagement, and leadership training for the city's youth, AMPS-Atlanta is illuminating the need for community engagement in sustainability and addressing the problems encompassing environmental justice. Additionally, AMPS-Atlanta is committed to training a new generation of Agtivists by providing healthy fresh food for residents through the West Atlanta Watershed Alliance Outdoor Activity Center.

ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. -- The St. Augustine Police Department has arrested a man after he beat up a cab driver and then stole his taxi.
Police were called to Carmelo's on King Street shortly after 5:30 a.m. Thursday morning, according to a news release from St. Augustine Police Public Information Officer Mark Samson.
Samson said surveillance video viewed by the police department shows 22-year-old Eugene Wilson from Warner Robbins, Ga., kneeing a cab driver in the parking lot of the store.
With Wilson pursuing him, the cab driver ran inside the store and threw his money bag to the store clerk. Samson said Wilson then chased the cab driver around the store before a second yellow cab arrived at the store.
Wilson then became involved in a physical altercation with the second cab driver. Samson said at this point, Wilson got into the taxi cab and drove off, heading east on King Street.
Police were interviewing the taxi driver when the stolen taxi was seen driving westbound on King Street. Officers then received an updated report that the cab was traveling on King Street, west of Ponce de Leon Boulevard.
An officer with the St. Augustine Police Department saw the taxi cab, being driven by Wilson, drive by at a high rate of speed, Samson said. Shortly after seeing the taxi, that same officer also reported Wilson had missed a curve near North Orange Street and had struck a utility pole.
Rescue workers with the St. Johns County Fire Rescue Department had to cut Wilson out of the car. After he was cut free and debris from the crash removed, Wilson was able to exit the vehicle under his own power. Samson said Wilson was taken to Flagler Hospital to be treated.
Wilson has been arrested. He is charged with two counts of battery, one count of motor vehicle theft and one count of attempted robbery.

Iodine supplementation markedly increases urinary excretion of fluoride and bromide - Letters to the Editor
While the debate continues, regarding benefits and adverse effects of fluoridation of our water supply and bromination of our food supply, what can one do to minimize the toxic effects of these 2 halides? One approach in decreasing the body burden of fluoride and bromide is orthoiodo-supplementation, that is iodine/iodide supplementation in daily amount for whole body sufficiency.
Null and Feldman wrote an excellent appraisal of the fluoride controversy in the last 3 issues of this journal. (1-3) Another halide with toxic effects on the thyroid gland and the central nervous system is bromide. (4-6) Daily doses of bromide as low as 1 mg/kg body weight/day resulted in goitrogenic and thyrotoxic effects in rats. (7) This amount is the acceptable daily intake (ADI) for bromide, as proposed by the FAQ/WHO Pesticides Committees. Based on studies in human volunteers and rats, Van Leeuven et al, suggested that the ADI should be 10 times lower. (7) So, the controversy about the safety of bromide continues.
Is there a practical and simple way to lower the body's burden of fluoride and bromide? It has been known for sometime now that bromide competes with chloride in the extracellular space and that the total molar concentration of bromide plus chloride remains constant. (8) This concept has been used to decrease extracellular bromide levels by saline loading. However, the presence of bromide in the thyroid gland (9) and the central nervous system (10) suggests that there is another intracellular "pool" of bromide, not responding to chloride.
In the thyroid gland, bromide competes with iodide for uptake, oxydation and organification. (9,11 and vido infra)
Therefore, increasing iodide intake should lower bromide levels in the thyroid, preventing and reversing its thyrotoxic and goitrogenic effects. The same applies to fluoride. Galletti and Joyet (12) evaluated the effect of 5-10 mg fluoride on thyroid functions in hyperthyroid patients. Although fluoride inhibited the iodide-concentrating mechanism of the thyroid, fluoride did not accumulate in the thyroid. Based on their radioactive tracer studies, they concluded "Fluorine does not impair the capacity of the gland to synthesize thyroid hormones when there is an abundance of iodide in the blood." Therefore, fluoride toxicity depends on iodide supply.
Based on a review of previous studies, we have calculated the amount of iodine/iodide necessary for sufficiency of the whole human body. (13) This amount was equivalent to 2 drops of Lugol solution, containing 5 mg iodine and 7.5 mg iodide. We tested a solid dosage form containing 2 drops of Lugol per tablet, administered daily for 3 months in 10 healthy women. There was no adverse effects observed on urinalysis, hematology, blood chemistry, thyroid functions and ultrasound of the thyroid. (14)
In the process of developing an iodine/iodide-loading test to assess sufficiency of the whole human body, we measured the amount of the 4 halides in 24h urine collections in 3 male and 3 female subjects under baseline conditions, and following a single ingestion of one, two and three tablets of the preparation, and in 5 of the subjects following one month on 3 tablets/day. Urinary levels of fluoride, chloride, bromide and iodide were measured by the ion-selective electrode procedure. (15) Chloride levels were measured directly in urine samples, and the other 3 halides were measured following chromatography on anion exchange resin. There was a progressive increase in urinary levels of fluoride and bromide with increasing intake of the preparation. The highest urinary levels were observed following 3 tablets. These high levels persisted even after one month on 3 tablets. The table presents the results obtained in a male subject following a single dose of one, two and three tablets; and after one month on 3 tabl ets of this preparation.
He did not reach iodine sufficiency even after one month on 3 tablets/day. Based on the results of the loading test, the body is considered iodine sufficient when at least 90% of the oral amount is excreted in the 24h urine collection. Urinary iodine levels in this subject were 149.6 uM/24h or 19 mg/24h representing only 51% of the dose.
The baseline level of urinary fluoride was very low, but bromide concentration was 18.4 mg/24h, 3 times the ADI recommended by Van Leeuwen et al. (6) Following supplementation with the iodine/iodide preparation, there was a progressive increase in the excretion of fluoride and bromide. With 3 tablets, the 24h excretion of fluoride was 17.5 times baseline level; and for bromide, 18 times baseline level. These high levels persisted even after one month of supplementation at 3 tablets/day, being 15 times baseline level for fluoride, and 16 times for bromide. After one month, the estimated total amount of halide excreted was 24 mg fluoride and 8700mg bromide. It is unlikely that such large amounts of halides came from the thyroid gland. It would seem that the whole body is being detoxified. Orthoiodo-supplementation could be used under medical supervision to detoxify the body from unwanted halides in a manner similar to the use of EDTA for the detoxification of heavy metals.
The last national nutritional survey revealed that 15% of the US adult female population are iodine-deficient by the WHO standard, that is less than 0.05 mg/L urine. (16) Over the last 20 years, iodine was replaced with bromine in the bread making process. (13) The risk ratio for breast cancer 40 years ago was one in twenty and now one in eight. (17) It is of interest to note that breast tissue contains lactoperoxydase which is capable of oxydation and organification of iodide and bromide. The breast needs iodine for normal function and protection against breast cancer. (13) High bromide levels in breast tissue would compete with iodine, interfering with the cancer-protecting role of iodine in the breast.
The RDA for iodine is based on the amount of iodine/iodide needed to prevent goiter, cretinism and hypothyroidism. The optimal requirement of the whole human body for iodine has never been studied. Based on a review of published data, we previously proposed that an amount of iodine 100 times the RDA would be required for iodine sufficient of the whole human body. (13) This amount is equivalent to 2 drops of Lugol solution. We are pursuing further research on the use of the orthoiodo supplementation as a means of detoxification of fluoride and bromide; and for prevention and control of fibrocystic disease of the breast and breast cancer.
Reprint of the manuscripts describing the orthoiodo-supplementation, the iodine/iodide loading test and the technique for measuring urinary halide levels are available at no charge, upon request.

Iron Man 3 Hints And Details
We know that Iron Man 3 starts shooting in North Carolina very soon, and we know that the story is going to be modeled after the Extremis storyline. Other than that we don't know too much. We've heard the Ben Kingsley, Guy Pearce, and now Jessica Chastain and Andy Lau are supposedly close to climbing aboard the third film. Here are the hints, details, and rumors we've heard so far.
Before we get started, Scarlett Johansson told Screenrant that she WOULD NOT be in Iron Man 3. We'd heard that she would have a part in the 3rd film, but then again she could be lying. CinemaCon recently took place, and Disney's presentation started out with Kevin Feige introducing the upcoming slate of films. Iron Man 3 premiered a sizzle reel- no new footage, but writer/director Shane Black teased the story. Comingsoon.net's description:
In the video presentation, Black dubbed the movie a "technological thriller" and a "crisis movie" set in the world of "international war, arms and terror" saying that they will "put Tony Stark through the wringer" as they explore the trials of being Tony Stark. Although no villain has been revealed for the film, he said the villain will be one that will "frighten in today's world."
Next stop- casting. It's reported by Deadline that Jessica Chastain (The Help, Tree of Life) is in the running to play a "sexy scientist every bit as smart as Tony Stark." If the movie does follow the Extremis storyline, she is more than likely Maya Hansen who is an old love interest of Tony's who plays a big role in the story.
Also, Neonpunch is reporting that Hong Kong superstar Andy Lau is in final talks to team up with Downey Jr. The site had several updates, at first thinking he would portray the Mandarin. China does have some financing in IM3, and are very strict about Western movies portraying Chinese as villiains so that was quickly axed. They stated after further investigation:
■Andy Lau's character will NOT be The Mandarin – oops, there goes our headline.
■Andy Lau's character will be an OLD FRIEND OF TONY STARK'S that represents China's technology sector – and will use China's armored heroes to HELP Iron Man defeat "The Mandarin" who is seen as a terrorist against both the US and China.
They also went on to say that Ben Kingsly could be the head of a group called THE MANDARIN. Now this would be a new take, The Mandarin as a group and not a single person. I wouldn't get too worked up over this right now. We don't have any solid information, but this is something I'm going to be looking out for.
And last but not least, Robert Downey Jr. is officially in Wilmington, NC. A friend sent this picture. Not sure who the gentleman next to RDJ is, but this is a store in Wilmington. CBT has a man on the inside going to casting calls, and hopefully he'll have more for us in the coming weeks if he gets a callback.

There are now reports the Colts will not hire Jim Tressel as head coach. This after a round of reports that Tressel had received two interviews and was in serious contention for the job. As a team source told me weeks ago there is no way in hell the Colts will hire Tressel to coach the team. That mostly stands. I've also been told Tressel never received two interviews for the job as previously reported and the one "interview" he received was very casual and more courtesy than anything else.
"Jim is well liked by Irsay," said a team source speaking of the Colts owner, "but not that well liked."
We'll see. Maybe Irsay does like taking huge, risky gambles with the future of his franchise.
League sources say the Colts have interviewed numerous candidates and aren't done. They're scheduled to speak with Baltimore defensive coordinator Chuck Pagano. Foxsports.com reported 49ers special teams coach Brad Seely is now on the Colts radar. I was able to confirm that is indeed the case. Seely is viewed as a good potential head coach by people around football.
The Tressel-as-coach phenomenon got renewed life when Tony Dungy this week said he believed Irsay had focused on Tressel as head coach. That certainly opened my eyes but I continue to be told Tressel isn't getting the position.
Is it possible Irsay has become Jerry Jones and now rebuffs any notion of conventional wisdom? Possible. Irsay, again, is very different. He could hire Tressel as a giant (expletive) you to the league. Yes, that's possible, but no one on the Colts or in the league believes this will happen. They think Irsay's inner pragmatism will take over.
Irsay, I'm told, wants to hire an NFL assistant; some new coaching blood to go along with his theme of remaking the franchise almost entirely. This is the safer route and why Tressel doesn't make sense. The NFL is littered with the bodies of great college coaches who failed in the NFL from Steve Spurrier to Nick Saban and dozens of men between.
Do NFL assistants fail? Yes. But the failure rate for college coaches making the try is astronomical.
Again, Irsay is very different, and he could shock the NFL world with a Tressel hire.
But I think the team is heading in the direction of a hire like Pagano.

Yes, he won at YSU and OSU..and he was under investigation in BOTH places. Hell, while he's at it, hire Sandusky as his DC, Ryan Leaf as the QB's coach, Art Schlicter as the OC....

2 wins 10 losses. How much easier can it get. Irsay is going to do what he wants. He owns the team. I wish I could go back to Ohio. If Jim T doesn't get the job I would bet 99.9% he says no to an offer. I have heard he has at least 3 other offers on the table. That is just here say so who knows if it is reliable. What the fans don't understand is that this is what he does best. Turns losing teams into winners. You don't have to believe me just start checking his records. Youngstown State, Ohio State.

EAST RUTHERFORD, New Jersey — Jay-Z did not deliver what he promised Thursday night — he brought much more than anyone would dare expect. Jay-Z and Nas united onstage at the Continental Airlines Arena, embracing each other and performing together.
The show was labeled "I Declare War." Weeks ago Jay said he was going to get onstage as headliner of New York radio station Power 105.1's Power House concert and not just give a great show with surprise guest performances from many of his friends, but he was going to "air" a few people out (see " 'I Declare War!' Jay-Z Says He's Going To Air Some Rappers Out Onstage" ). In 'hood speak, that means he planned to humiliate those who have angered him in front of 20,000 witnesses. And we all know that when Jay disses you, word gets out around the globe. It's not pretty.
He did it four years ago at a similar concert, for New York radio station Hot 97. During 2001's Summer Jam, Jay-Z debuted "The Takeover," and he and Nas' battle was born. Fast forward to Thursday night where the beef was killed and a new alliance took form.
It was another Jay-Z moment that you'll tell your grandkids about, a moment that you could not believe was happening though you've imagined it time and time again. It was a moment that you've waited for for so long that while it was going down it did not seem real. This is what Tupac and Biggie never had a chance to do.
The fans in East Rutherford roared like the spectators at the Roman Coliseum after a gladiator finished off an opponent. Although both Jay and Nas maintained their composure and avoided cheese smiles, you could tell that under the b-boy cool, they too were taken aback. Their statement was more than two of the greatest MCs making a musical and business allegiance. This was two black men showing that even though they may have had a keen dislike, blatant disrespect and obvious rivalry in their past, they cannot only sidestep violence while having differences, they can work things out and even be friends down the line.
Back to Jay-Z's war. There was none. Jay told the audience that he had been doing research, and while he did indeed plan to tear a few people up onstage, he thought better of it. Instead he wanted to convey unity, explaining that the night was bigger than declaring war.
"All that beef sh–is done, we had our fun," he said. "Let's get this money."
The unification theme was clear almost from the concert's onset. Jay started the show by himself and, of course, his ovation was eardrum-shattering.
The curtain opened to reveal a stage set of the Oval Office with three windows. A huge screen hung behind it, and on top of the office was a platform with a staircase leading to the stage. Jay was sitting in a chair at his desk with two Secret Service-like bodyguards standing in the background.
"PSA" — which is rapidly becoming Jay's most popular record at concerts — commenced the night, with "Jigga My N—a" following up.
"I don't know if y'all ready," Hov said. "Seriously, I don't think y'all understand. … This is my house. I own the Nets."
|Jay-Z And Nas Perform Together At Powerhouse 2005: Operation Takeover
After returning from quickly changing out of his suit, a flurry of records such as "Hola' Hovito," "I Just Wanna Love U (Give It 2 Me)" and "U Don't Know" followed. After he brought a young fan that looked no more than 8 years old onstage while he performed "Dear Summer" ("Don't try to upstage me with none of that cute kid sh–," he playfully told the young buck.), Hov left the stage, making way for new singers Teairra Marí and Ne-Yo to perform their singles "Make Her Feel Good" and "Stay," respectively.
The streets came back when T.I. was introduced shortly after. Tip's energy was on point as always; unfortunately, his mic was shoddy. You could not really hear his words as he performed tracks including "Motivation," "Bring Em Out" and "You Don't Know Me."
His mic finally started working correctly when it was time to introduce Young Jeezy.
That was the night's first big moment, seeing the king of the South and the Snowman together ripping the arena down with "Bang" off of Jeezy's Let's Get it: Thug Motivation 101 LP. Minutes later, after Jeezy got raucous with "And Then What," he brought out Akon for one of the most appreciated records of the night, "Soul Survivor."
"Just keep on movin' now," the audience sang along with Akon.
Another huge moment came just seconds after, with Jay returning to the stage to perform "Go Crazy," with Jeezy. Sadly, Jay's mic was not loud and clear, but we all got the picture.
Onto what Jigga labeled Act 2. He brought out the Roc (Peedi Peedi, Freeway and Memphis Bleek, to be exact) for a bunch of favorites including "What We Do," "Flipside" and "Is That Your Chick."
Jay and company then told the crowd somebody was missing. Yes, the Young Gunz were absent, but the audience thought another artist should really be there. Chants of "Beanie" immediately flooded the venue. As the guitar line for "Let's Do It Again" played, Beanie Sigel strolled out wearing all black with a hood over his head, marking yet another monumental moment. (Keep counting, there are more to come).
There was resonating jubilation to see that Beans, at least for one night, had put aside his own differences with his State Property fam. Even bigger in the picture was the fact that he and Jay are clearly still cool. Everything felt right seeing the Roc together for records such as "Roc the Mic" and "You, Me, Him and Her." The only thing was missing was Dame Dash.
Next Jay brought out the LOX and Sauce Money for the classic "Reservoir Dogs," which fans haven't seen since the Hard Knock Life Tour. You had to look at the calendar on your cell phone just to make sure it was indeed 2005 and you were not caught in memory lane. Too good to be true? No, this was happening live.
When the stage was cleared for a short D-Block set, Jadakiss told the DJ to stop "All About the Benjamins" just two seconds into the song. Kiss said that they needed to perform it the right way. So, like they had been doing all night, one of the windows in the Oval Office opened like a door and out pranced Diddy. It was like cruising with Michael J. Fox in the DeLorean. For just a few minutes, we were transported back in time to a hip-hop heyday.
After that performance, the stage was once again cleared, and this time surprise performer Kanye West showed up for his own short set. Then Jay returned. Chants of "We want war," started to ring out, but the fans were given much more.
Jay told everyone that he was inspired by all the collaborations onstage Thursday night and introduced Nas with a "Let's go Esco."
Nas came out on a riser above the Oval Office. He quickly ran down the stage to join Jay, and you could see all the artists backstage looking through the windows to witness that moment. Jay and Nas performed "Dead Presidents" together for the first time (Nas' voice is sampled on the chorus) and anyone who did not get goosebumps or chills at that moment had to be either dead or not in their right mind.
Jay stepped aside to let Nas have his own set, and Esco went back in his stash for "New York State of Mind" and "It Ain't Hard to Tell."
Diddy returned in a fur coat and poured two bottles of champagne out on the stage right before "Hate Me Now."
As Nas performed "Made You Look," Diddy sat on a replica Oval Office desk while Jay stood with a smile and his arm around the shoulder of Kanye West, who was equally elated. It's hip-hop — anything can happen.
The final song was "Encore," and LeBron James and most of the artists who performed came out to finish off the show with Jay, Nas, Kanye and Diddy.
War. What is it really good for?

This simple cross stitch alphabet can be added to many items, including towels, cards, bags, samplers or bookmarks. The design shown is worked on 28-count ecru linen with DMC stranded embroidery cotton, but the design can be adapted for other even-weave fabrics and thread types.
Photography: Complete Contemporary Craft: Embellishments (Murdoch Books 2008)
Download the cross-stitch letters and use the template as a guide to work the desired name onto an even-weave piece of linen. Starting with the first letter, use two strands of very dark navy blue thread and one strand of the dark mocha brown thread to work cross stitch over two threads of the linen, making sure not to leave any long threads behind to shadow through. Where possible, it is a good idea to work cross stitches in a line, stitching a line of half crosses and then coming back to complete the cross, but it is most important the top stitches of all the crosses lie in the same direction.
Cut out the name, making sure it is centred on the fabric. Remove threads from around the edge to make a fringe if desired or hem the patch on all four sides, then attach it to the bag using neat hand or machine stitching, or a cross stitch border.

Rethinking the Lawn? In California, Yes
As I sit here in the midst of my father's Florida golf course community, with identical cookie-cutter lawns and eutrified ponds as far as the eye can see, an evaluation of landscape priorities can be fairly depressing. Dad lives is one of those many, many developed communities where the local bylaws state what kinds of grass to grow (St. Augustine) and how often and how high you're supposed to mow (low). Quantity and quality of drinking water supplies are of grave concern across this state, and yet the irrigation systems spew copious amounts of water into the sidewalks and roadways every morning.
That's why is was so refreshing to read Cindy McNatt's column in the Orange County Register this morning: http://www.ocregister.com/articles/lawns-246614-idea-lawnless.html.
I'm definitely not an anti-lawn guy. Having a patch of paradise where I can play ball with my kids will probably always be a goal. Here in Florida, though, where the water table perilously close to the surface of the sandy soil, folks really need to rethink their overall priorities.

Water: Nonpoint Source Success Stories
Delaware: Trap Pond
Providing Technical Assistance and Better Managing Livestock Reduces Bacteria Levels
Waterbody ImprovedExcess bacteria from agricultural activities and failing septic systems impaired Trap Pond, one of Delaware's most important recreational resources. As a result, Delaware added the pond to its 1996 Clean Water Act (CWA) section 303(d) list of impaired waters. Providing technical assistance and implementing agricultural best management practices (BMPs) significantly reduced bacteria levels. Water quality improved, prompting Delaware to remove Trap Pond from its list of impaired waters in 2002.
Robert Palmer
Delaware Nonpoint
Source Program
(2 pp, 1.0M, About PDF)
Southern Delaware's Trap Pond is a tributary of Broad Creek, which drains to the Nanticoke River, which in turn flows into the Chesapeake Bay (Figure 1). Saunders Branch is the primary tributary to Trap Pond.
Surrounded by majestic stands of bald cypress (Figure 2) in the center of one of Delaware's state parks, Trap Pond supports abundant wildlife and offers exceptional recreation opportunities. Trap Pond State Park is home to the northernmost natural stand of bald cypress in the United States; one tree in the park is estimated to be more than 200 years old, is 127 feet tall, is almost 25 feet around, and has a 62-foot branch spread. The area also contains a 2,000-acre wetland, one of the largest surviving freshwater wetlands in Delaware.
Trap Pond was created in the late 1700s to power a sawmill. The area's bald cypress was coveted for its rot-resistant wood and harvested extensively throughout the 1700s. As a result, most of the bald cypress around Trap Pond is second-growth. After logging ceased, landowners enlarged the pond by installing drainage tiles to dry out the surrounding land for farming. In 1930, the federal government bought Trap Pond and the farmland surrounding it and brought in the Civilian Conservation Corps to develop the area for recreation.
Water quality monitoring data collected in 1990 and 1991 showed bacteria counts as high as 700 colony-forming units (cfu) per 100 milliliters (mL). The pond routinely exceeded Delaware's water quality standard, 100 cfu per 100 mL. A further study found that Saunders Branch, the major tributary to Trap Pond, had elevated bacteria and phosphorus levels. Sanitary surveys revealed that the two probable causes were direct discharges from failing septic systems and manure from livestock that had direct access to Saunders Branch or the drainage ditches feeding it. Based on this information, Delaware added the 88-acre Trap Pond to the 1996 CWA section 303(d) list of impaired waters for bacteria.
Delaware completed a total maximum daily load (TMDL) analysis for nutrients and dissolved oxygen in tributaries and ponds of the Nanticoke River and Broad Creek watersheds in 2000. Delaware developed a bacteria TMDL for the entire Chesapeake Bay drainage, including the Nanticoke River watershed, in 2006.
Project Highlights
The first phase of the restoration project, conducted in the very early 1990s, involved notifying property owners of their leaking septic systems. The systems were quickly repaired or replaced, and the affected areas of Saunders Branch responded immediately with decreased bacteria levels.
The next phase addressed removing livestock access to Saunders Branch and its drainages. A 1991 CWA section 319 grant funded the salary of a Sussex County Conservation District conservation planner working specifically in the Trap Pond watershed. Although removing livestock access to drainage areas in the watershed was a key project component, the planner also provided technical assistance to farmers who wanted help in implementing agricultural BMPs and conducting nutrient management planning throughout the Trap Pond watershed.
The conservation planner worked with two large swine operations that were immediately adjacent to Saunders Branch. The first operation covered 1,000 acres and produced 9,800 finish hogs annually; the second covered 100 acres and produced 1,200 finish hogs annually. The conservation planner helped develop farm-wide conservation plans for both farms.
Farmers installed BMPs on 29 poultry operations in the Trap Pond watershed, including 23 manure storage structures, 19 composters and 2 dead bird incinerators. The Natural Resources Conservation Service's (NRCS) Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP) and Conservation Reserve Program supported planting of 2.4 acres of wildlife habitat, 18 acres of hardwood trees and 5.0 acres of grass buffers. Sussex County Conservation District planners continue to work with farmers throughout the watershed to provide ongoing technical assistance to ensure improved water quality.
Implementing BMPs throughout the watershed quickly reduced bacteria levels in Trap Pond. Monitoring data show that bacteria levels met the state water quality standard of 100 cfu per 100 mL beginning in 1992. Water quality data collected through 1999 show that bacteria levels in Trap Pond remained well below the state standards (Table 1). On the basis of these data, Delaware removed Trap Pond from the 2002 CWA section 303(d) list of impaired waters for bacteria.
Partners and Funding
The Trap Pond project was a partnership involving the Sussex County Conservation District, the Soil Conservation Service (now NRCS), and the Delaware Nonpoint Source Program. Approximately $84,000 in federal CWA section 319 funds supported the costs of a Sussex County Conservation District planner working strictly in the Trap Pond watershed. Additional funding was provided through the NRCS' Environmental Quality Incentive Program and CREP, and the state of Delaware's Conservation Cost Share Program.
