GBA Flash Cart & Linker – Flash Advance Xtreme Linker + 128m CartsFebruary 21, 2014
I've talked before about these GBA Flash Carts that I have. Here's a link in case you don't recall what I'm talking about. http://www.freeplaytech.com/blank-gba-cartridges-gameboy-advance-flash-carts/
I am now selling them as a bundle with 1 linker and 2 flash carts. Details follow.
I have several of these 128m flash carts, but I only owned 1 linker. I couldn't sell the carts with a linker, because then I wouldn't have one. My idea was to sell them pre-programmed, and that's been going okay. I think there aren't that many people that need something burnt onto a GBA cart, but some people have taken me up on the offer and have asked me to burn translations and such.
Recently, I was able to find a supplier for the Flash Advance Linker Xtreme USB (and parallel) programmers for these carts. I got one to test for myself, and I was able to get it working on Windows XP using the software and drivers at http://www.gameboy-advance.net/fal_soft/flash_xtreme_writer.htm
Unfortunately, I couldn't get these working on Win7+ or OSX. I set out to find some info about getting this to work on modern operating systems. For Linux, it seems that http://if2a.free.fr/ will work well. I haven't tried it, but Sharker has confirmed that it works for him.
I was also able to obtain some source code for a command-line application that works very well under OSX. It was old code, so I had to update parts of it, but I got it working in my OSX Mavericks 10.9.1. I also believe that I can port this software to Windows, but things are getting more and more hectic on my main project. I have not released any of this software yet, but I will work with people that purchase these to get them set up and running on their platforms. My suggestion, though, is that you count on it working under XP, and expect some troubles if you want to do it under anything more modern (hopefully we can work together to get kinks out).
So, you get a GBA linker and 2 128m carts. Operators are standing by. Please click the PayPal link for pricing and shipping costs.
Of course, feel free to comment and let me know what you think of this. Even if you aren't interested in buying one right now, let me know why not. I really need to figure out if this is something I should make available in larger quantities or not. I also started a quick forum thread about this for anyone that is using these carts/linkers to share their experiences and what software they're using http://forum.freeplaytech.com/thread-3662.html.

I'm personally not interested because the storage is so limited (I used to have something similar for GBC). Especially with the EZFlash IV still being sold. For GB/GBC there's also the Drag 'n Derp (unknown availability), and the upcoming Everdrive variant.
It appears the shipping in paypal is set to $50 as well right now.
I clicked the PayPal link and its 50 plus 50 on the ship . Is that correct ?
Did you test if these work with a virtualized Windows XP under Windows 7 (either 32 or 64 Bit)?
Pingback: Neo Geo Pocket Color Light Install (Frontlight Mod)
I'm really interested in this bundle you have but, I see it was posted a while ago. I was just wondering if you still had any available?
Would it be possible if I could mail you the $60 required for the linker? I don't have a Paypal, and I'd be cool if I wouldn't have to go through the hassle of making one.
Hey the paypal says sold out im guessing thats not a lie lol
Hey just wondering if they are still available or will be again sometime
I'm wondering how these work exactly. DO you download games and put them onto the flash cart via the tool provided? If you put more than one game at a time on there, will that work, or no?
Also, I was curious if you had to have a DS, or if this works on the GBA and GBA-SP as well?
wheres a good place to buy flash carts of different sizes?
Hi, I have a bunch of questions about the bundle, can the seller please email me?
I would like information on this game boy advance thing too! Sorry you have a nerdy dad trying to figure things out!
Hey Ed, Regardless of what others are stating about space who cares, I think the value is excellent and most of them have no idea these are the old Style that used to run $130 – $210 (Just for the Cart) opposed to cheap crap like the EZFlash IV these were made to higher quality standard and DO NOT have loading times! It's just too bad you couldn't source the 256Mb ones but I'm shocked to see you are getting these to begin with!
And to those questioning its 128Mb ~ 16MB (Zelda Minish Cap will fill the entire cart) other smaller games you can run 2-3 roms on the cart after writing a loader first. It is not drag and drop and most drivers and write software work best on 98 & XP as that was when they were last updated.
Thanks for making this available Ed!
Where can I get some linkers? I have 40 f2a cards and NO linkers.
Remarkable! Its in fact awesome piece of writing, I
have got much clear idea concerning from this

Defense says man had threatened to burn down house
RIVERSIDE A slender blond boy with big eyeglasses appeared to listen intently Wednesday as lawyers argued whether he knew the difference between right and wrong when he shot his sleeping neo-Nazi father to death at the age of 10.
The defendant, now 12, is charged with murder, and if convicted could be jailed until he is 23. The boy is not being identified by The Associated Press because of his age.
In arguments in juvenile court, the prosecution contended the boy knew what he was doing, premeditated the killing and should be found guilty of murder. The defense argued he was damaged by a violent home and was seeking to protect himself and his family.
Defense attorney Matthew Hardy began his argument by showing a photograph of the boy at a neo-Nazi gathering with someone in a Ku Klux Klan hood and robe along with two other people. All are giving Nazi salutes, and the boy is holding a toy gun.
"Welcome to his life," the defense attorney said.
Hardy said the father, Jeff Hall, 32, had threatened to burn down the family home in Riverside while the family slept, slapped and whipped the boy, and taught him to shoot and that violence was an appropriate response to problems.
"At the time he pulled the trigger — and he did — did he know what he was doing was wrong? No," Hardy said.
The attorney quoted the boy as saying, "'I thought if I shoot him, maybe he won't be able to hurt us.'"
Hardy also said the boy blamed his stepmother for urging him to kill his father.
"He said, 'She told me if I shot him, all the violence would stop,'" Hardy said.
The woman initially said she was the killer but quickly retracted the claim. She has not been charged in the case.
The defense attorney also urged the judge to consider that the boy was born with problems because his mother used methamphetamine, heroin and marijuana while she was pregnant.
The boy "was almost genetically programmed to commit violence," Hardy said.
The judge asked the attorneys to address lesser offenses than murder, and Hardy suggested a rationale for voluntary manslaughter.
In contrast to the pictures shown by the defense, Chief Deputy District Attorney Michael Soccio showed photos of family outings to the beach and a birthday party in which the father participated.
"The boy was given his love and consideration," the prosecutor said of Hall. "The one person we seem not to be concerned about is the victim because he chose to join the National Socialist movement. Suddenly he's a non-person. But he was a loving father."
Soccio acknowledged the child had problems from the beginning of his life, had attacked teachers and behaved so badly that schools could not deal with him and he wound up being home-schooled.
But the prosecutor maintained the boy had the ability to think clearly and to premeditate his father's killing.
The defense attorney rested his case Tuesday without calling the boy to testify. The attorney said earlier that the defendant was on medication and was easily confused. He sometimes fell asleep during the trial.
The victim was a well-known gadfly at political meetings, and neighbors sometimes complained about his loud white-supremacist gatherings, which were broadcast over speakers.
Superior Court Judge Jean P. Leonard, who heard the case without a jury, plans to issue her verdict Monday.
Outside court, Hardy said he hopes that whatever the judge rules, the boy would not be sent to a juvenile justice facility but instead be placed in a private facility that offers therapy, medical treatment and schooling.
He said the boy has done well in his studies since he was arrested and shows high intelligence.
Hardy said it would be easier to place the boy if he is not convicted of murder.
But he said whatever happens, "We've got to help him. If you put him in the department of juvenile justice, you may be creating a serial killer. We're looking for a private placement for him."
The prosecutor did not comment outside court.

Eternal Optimist
He was just on Andy and Murph and said that on a scale of Sgt. Schultz and Chip Brown, he's nearer Schultz, "He knows nuszing".
In the interview, he said that he didn't feel there were too many positives for ISU to move to a lesser conference.
I'm glad he's speaking the truth.
Is it podcasted? He could have misspoke but I swear he said if we keep Paul Rhoads. Honest question not trying to pile on. It sounded like Murphy and Andy were trying to cheer him up.

Finishing each other's sentences: the joys of joint authorship
Everyone bangs on about the horrors of being alone long enough to write a novel.

Gold digging
Bookmakers offering virtual odds on this year's Royal Gold Medallist (to be announced on Wednesday week at the next RIBA council session) won't get much comfort from an examination of this year's judges, chaired as usual by the RIBA president. Since they include a range of architects and critical positions from Lord Foster to Mohsen Mostafavi it is difficult to imagine how consensus might be reached.Were Astragal to have a flutter, however, three joint favourites have emerged from the throng. One would be Peter Cook, representing the Archigram group - arguably the only truly influential British contribution to 20th century architecture (sort of including High-Tech). Representing European Modernism is Rafael Moneo, surely bound to win one year. Finally, and bound to draw support from the High-Tech and engineering lobby, there is Frei Otto, patron saint of tensile structures.Take your pick.

And although Vulcans are one of the founding members of the Federation, not

On modern TV shows, the expert guests can rarely get three sentences into a statement without the host derailing the conversation.
Comics love irony. So you might think that there would be truckloads of good jokes floating around about our environment. After all, you've got global warming, melting polar ice caps and millions of cows whose flatulence create less than desirable methane levels.
No, in moments like these, all our differences -- age, background, nationality, ethnicity, gender, and yes, religion and beliefs -- are secondary. First and foremost we are human beings. And we want to help.
While President Obama and the Democratic establishment have all come out in support of marriage equality over the past few years, most mainstream politicians are still behind the curve on drug policy reform.
As my brain gets bombarded each day while I work on my computer, I have decided to weed through the chaff and separate what I need to worry about from what I can forget about. Here's a list.
There are many issues facing us globally, nationally, for which there is no wrong or right answer. Instead screaming immoral and slinging insults at those who have a different opinion, why is it not possible to muster even a little cultural respect for those who believe differently then us?
NBC speeds up late-night transition: Jimmy Fallon immediately replaces Jay Leno as host of The Tonight Show; Seth Meyers replaces Fallon; Leno replaces Barbara Walters on The View; Walters joins the cast of Duck Dynasty.
It never happened, and last month I was told that the show now had second thoughts and was not ready to commit. I thus became a victim of a different Colbert bump.
Not just satire but comedy itself begins with mocking. Plato and Aristotle said all laughter was wrong because comedy is inherently cruel (something many people still believe, especially me when I think about Ken Magnuson in 8th grade gym class).
If I could find myself in an alternate universe, there would be all the men I love -- and in this alternate universe all these men I love would find me irresistible and they wouldn't be married.
Yes, equality is possible. It would be nice if Fox News would give gender equality a little longer than a half century before stamping "FAIL" on it.

No man of our time resembles Saint Stephen more than Stephen Colbert, a staunch Roman Catholic with a devoted following of young people deeply inspired by his eloquent advocacy of strictly conservative values and Christian faith.
I realized I wasn't nearly as scared as my friends, or any dyed-in-the-wool red state American. I'm afraid of guns, but they're afraid of everything. Socialism. Obama. Muslims. The government. Moral decline. The apocalypse. Immigrants. Tofu. They're even God-fearing.
If you are looking for some sanity in the gun debate, turn to comedy. Satirists like Stewart, Colbert, and Maher entertain us while revealing the flawed thinking that is making a folly of our democracy.
I will say there is more than one wedding, more than one birth, more than one death, and eventually even a madwoman in the attic (not necessarily Downton's attic).

Given Saudi's high energy inefficiency and increased public sector spending, Una Galani thinks it might be the time of the Saudi government to tackle its potentially foreseeable financial problems.
July 29, 2011 10:09 by Reuters
Saudi Arabia's economic power is more fragile that it looks. High energy inefficiency and public sector spending are two trends which, left unchecked, will start eating into the kingdom's petrodollar reserves within a decade. But while the Saudi government doesn't have its head stuck in the sand, it isn't clear that it is doing enough to tackle the country's foreseeable financial problems.
The surprising sums have been laid out by Jadwa Investment, a firm founded by Saudi royalty. Based on past spending patterns, and assuming no significant ramp up in oil production which accounts for 85 percent of government revenues, it reckons the country's net foreign reserves would shrink by around 45 percent — to around $267 billion by the end of 2021 and to $100 billion in 2024.
How does it happen? The kingdom's own energy consumption is forecast to grow at an annual rate between 8-10 percent for the next decade. That means less of the black stuff will be available to export at international prices. Saudi consumers and businesses pay as little as 3 percent of the global price. And they and use 11 times more oil than the Chinese to generate the same amount of GDP, according to 2009 numbers.
Government spending, meanwhile, is forecast by Jadwa to grow at an average annual rate of 7 percent for the next 20 years. That's half the rate of the previous decade. But spending on infrastructure and other projects to create a knowledge-based economy and renewable energy sources makes up roughly just 30 percent of the total. The rest is current spending, the largest part of which being public payrolls. Public sector wages rise too fast, and are already higher on average than those of the private sector.
The problem is that the Arab Spring has limited the capacity of Saudi rulers to reform wages and food subsidies. But it hasn't left the kingdom powerless in other areas. Ambitious projects in renewable energies are a long way off. So it would make sense to act sooner rather than later.
There is scope for action. Corporate electricity tariffs, currently below the cost of production, could be increased. Limiting gas-guzzling cars, enforcing stricter building regulations would also help. Of course ideally the government could also think about introducing taxes, both on companies and individuals. But what then if Saudis decide there can be no taxation without representation? Whatever the kingdom decides, spending now, while delaying tough decisions, will not be part of the answer to its problem.

The council member position is a four-year term, and it pays $1,200 per year. There are six members on the village council. Four seats are up for election Nov. 5.
Earl Carter
Carter is a retired machine operator for Senco Products and has been on council for four years.
How will you keep the budget under control?
The village has done well getting the budget under control in the past several years even with the economy the way it is right now. Hed continue to watch spending, and projects they plan help make the village attractive to people and businesses.
Should the village continue to pursue annexation?
He hasnt given much thought to more annexation, but I think we did enough for right now.
What are your priorities, if elected?
My top priority is to listen to the people and what they want from the village and finish the projects we got going now mostly on Main Street.
Robert Handra
He has been on council for 12 years and is co-owner of Batavia Electric Supply.
How will you keep the budget under control?
Monitor the budget very closely and make sure that before doing any expenditure that it is a need and not a want. Hed also plan ahead for long-term improvements and future infrastructure needs.
Should the village continue to pursue annexation?
Annexation has been a good thing for the village and has helped the community grow.
What are your priorities, if elected?
The safety of the community is number one, and number two is maintaining and expanding our services because our territory has expanded. Hed also like to create a five-year plan for the future of Batavia.
Elizabeth Mason
She is a former Clermont County assistant prosecutor in the civil division and was Batavias solicitor in 2009 and 2010. Mason is still an attorney with a limited private practice.
How will you keep the budget under control?
Compared to where the budget was in 2009, Batavia is on the right track. Id make sure that every dollar spent is going to be spent in a way that maximizes the value of that dollar. Leveraging state funds and grant opportunities is also important.
Should the village continue to pursue annexation?
Its a balancing act, and the village should make sure it can afford to expand and provide services to annexed properties.
What are your priorities, if elected?
To improve the traffic and speed problems in the village by working with the police and finding other means of control. Shed also continue to pursue development along Main Street and work on beautification.
Steve Staton
He works in statistical programs for the U.S. Postal Service. Staton has been on council for four years and was previously on the board of education for Batavia schools.
How will you keep the budget under control?
Weve spent the last four years keeping the budget under control. Some of that was cutting administrative positions, but the biggest piece was transferring the water building to the county. That saved personnel expenses for the village and brought savings to the community.
Should the village continue to pursue annexation?
If it continues, it should be on the basis of a willing partner. Batavia has a great deal to offer the right property owners.
What are your priorities, if elected?
My top priority always has to be fiscal management of the village. His background in accounting will help with financial reporting and understanding. Also to continue the infrastructure renewal that completely stagnated before.
Kathy Turner
Shes been on village council for 20 years and has been a homemaker most of her life. Turner also volunteers throughout the community.
How will you keep the budget under control?
Closely monitor spending and find places to cut back without hurting the residents, as well as encouraging businesses to come to the village. I think were on the right track now. Weve gone through a financial crisis before and we weathered that and are getting back on our feet.
Should the village continue to pursue annexation?
Annexation is something shed like to see continue. Id like to see Batavia grow and prosper like it used to.
What are your priorities, if elected?
Try to help Batavia continue to grow by bringing more businesses to town. Shed also like to have more community-wide activities to bring residents together while continuing the farmers market, holiday celebration and yard sales.

A lost painting by Leonardo da Vinci may have been found in a Scottish farmhouse, reported The Daily Mail. The work, thought to be a 500-year-old portait of Madonna and child, is potentially worth over $150 million (£100 million) if experts are able to prove its authenticity.
The lucky owners of the painting are members of the McLaren family, who acquired the possible da Vinci when it was given to them as a gift in the 1960s. Originally bestowed upon George McLaren, it was later handed down to his wife and eventually his daughter, Fiona. But it wasn't until Fiona and her mother were faced with financial difficulties that they decided to look into the painting's value.
It was first brought to auctioneer Harry Robertson, an expert at Sotheby's who assessed the work as a possible da Vinci. "I showed it to [Mr Robertson] and he was staggered, speechless save for a sigh of exclamation," she said, according to People (UK). The painting has since been viewed by a number of other specialists who have reiterated Robertson's sentiments, such as former Antiques Roadshow presenter Sebastian Times, an ex-director at Christie's in Scotland. Other experts, like Professor Carlo Pedretti of the University of California, believe that the painting is at the very least a work of the da Vinci school, possible created by one of his pupils.
There are a number of telltale signs in the McLaren family heirloom that point to da Vinci. For example, aspects of the figures' hairlines, shoulders and toes bear significant resemblance to other da Vinci characters and a fleur-de-lys hidden within the portrait is another typical detail oh his work. More concretely, experts have noted that the woman in the portrait is an exact match of a traced figure in the "Last Supper," which also bears resemblance to "Madonna of the Rocks." The work is also accompanied by a papal bull, an order from the pope that is attached to the back of the painting. It has been confirmed as belonging to Pope Paul V -- the head of the Catholic Church in the early 17th century.
Fiona has also conducted research, which she chronicled in a book titled "Da Vinci's Last Commission," and has made some assessments of her own. She thinks that the portrait is a depiction of Mary Magdalene and her son, not the Virgin and Jesus. She points to the fact that the woman is dressed in red and not the Virgin's signature blue, and notes in the text that the word "Magdalene" can be read on the papal bull. She believes that the da Vinci work would have been perceived as heretical at the time and so the painting's true meaning was concealed.
The painting's authenticity has yet to be solidified, but experts at the Hamilton Kerr Institute at the University of Cambridge plan on conclusively dating the work by next year. With Da Vinci paintings generally fetching around £100 million, Fiona has on her website that she wants to give a portion of the hopeful sale to the Caterina Peace Foundation.
See a slideshow of da Vinci's famous works below, and let us know your thoughts in the comments section.
1. Leonardo Da Vinci was a committed vegetarian at a time when this choice was highly unusual. A 2010 study suggests that his nonconformist culinary decisions possibly contributed to his stroke. Image: Last Supper 1495-1498
2. Da Vinci was the first person to explain why the sky is blue. (Light scattering, duh.) Image: Lady with an Ermine oil on panel
3. Leonardo Da Vinci was ambidextrous, meaning he could write forward with one hand and backward with the other. Image: The Virgin and Child with St. Anne from 1500 until 1513
4. Leonardo Da Vinci was also dyslexic, and had trouble reading, writing and spelling. (Luckily his drawing skills weren't too shabby.) Image: Vitruvian Man
5. Mona Lisa is mostly happy, a little bit disgusted. Discovery Magazine reported on research on the painted lady's notoriously coy expression. Apparently "researchers at the University of Amsterdam and the University of Illinois used face-recognition software to determine that the Mona Lisa is 83% happy, 9% disgusted, 6% fearful, and 2% angry." Image: Mona Lisa between 1503 and 1505
6. The devoted artist took his interest in the mechanics of the human body to a new level by dissecting human cadavers to best understand how the human body operates. Image: Studies of Embryos
7. Leonardo Da Vinci, an accomplished lyre player, was first presented at the Milanese court as a musician, not an artist. Image: Study of horses circa 1490 Silverpoint on prepared paper
8. Ever the animal rights enthusiast, Leonardo Da Vinci reportedly enjoyed purchasing caged birds so that he could set them free. Image: The Virgin of the Rocks
9. Leonardo Da Vinci and Michelangelo were reportedly frenemies. In "The Lost Battles: Leonardo, Michelangelo and the Artistic Duel That Defined the Renaissance," Jonathan Jones writes that two rival artists would often cause serious reality show level drama by insulting each other in public. Image: La Scapigliata
10. As if Leonardo Da Vinci hadn't accomplished enough in his lifetime, the multitalented artist and intellectual is now living the dream as an action hero in the new Starz drama "Da Vinci's Demons."

Tip: If you're using TurboTax Online, we recommend that you transfer your return to the TurboTax CD/Desktop version. You will save time by entering less information.
Married Filing Separately in Community Property States
Filing taxes in community property states as married filing separately (MFS) often has some extra work for you. Certain states have laws about community property defining how they expect couples to share, or allocate, income between the two persons if they are not filing as married filing jointly (MFJ).
Community property states are: Arizona, California, Idaho, Louisiana, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas, Washington, and Wisconsin.
TurboTax has allocation screens and a worksheet to assist you in entering any adjustments your community property state may require when filing separately. For more information, refer to IRS Publication 555 Community Property.
Begin by completing a MFS federal tax return for both persons as you'll need the amounts for different income categories, tax amounts, and all tax payments for each person. Remember, if one of you itemizes deductions both of you must itemize, or both must use the standard deduction.
Note: You may not be able to e-file, in which case TurboTax will guide you through the steps to file a paper return.
Entering income adjustments for a community property state
First, use your community property state rules to determine what adjustments you expect to enter in TurboTax. Often one return has an addition to income and withholding, while the other will have a reduction (subtraction) to income and withholding.
- In TurboTax, select Federal Taxes, then Other Tax Situations, then click the Done With Other button.
- On the Community Property Income Adjustments screen, check Yes and click Continue.
- Enter the adjustment amount in one of the fields:
- Enter any additional income for this return in the Community Property Addition Adjustment field.
- Enter any income reduction for this return in the Community Property Subtraction Adjustment field.
- When done, click Continue.
- On the Tax withholding Adjustments screen, enter the adjustment amount (if any) in one of the fields:
- Enter any additions for tax withholding or estimated tax payments on this return in the Tax Withholding - Addition Adjustment field.
- Enter any reductions for tax withholding or estimated tax payments on this return in the Tax Withholding - Subtraction Adjustment field.
- When done with your entries, click Continue, save your return, and continue with the next section below.
Complete the community property worksheet
When filing as MFS from a community property state, this worksheet is required and will be included with your federal tax return. The worksheet shows how the income on this tax return compares with the other taxpayer's return.
- Continuing from the steps above, you should see the Community Property - Wages screen (or search for "community property worksheet").
- Your federal taxes should show by Employer in the first column, You in the second column, and your Partner/Spouse in the third column. Total Wages appear in the final column.
- Manually enter the amounts from your partner/spouse's return in each line of the third column. Then click Continue.
- On the Community Property - Interest screen, check Yes and Continue if your partner/spouse needs to report interest, Enter the payer and who received the interest.
- Repeat on the Community Property - Dividends screen, entering Yes and Continue to enter any dividends your partner/spouse needs to report.
- The next screen, Community Property - Self Employment Incomee is for reporting your partner/spouse's self-employment income in the same manner.
- The next screen, Community Property - Other Miscellaneous Items, is for reporting your partner/spouse's miscellaneous income.
- On the Enter Your Spouse's Community Income screen, fill-in the reporting columns for you and your spouse.
- Select the Calculate Totals button. A third column will show the Totals. The totals should equal your combined income amounts.
Use these columns to see how the allocation appears compared to your state tax rules. Allocation calculations between taxpayers are subject not only to state law, but to individual circumstances. The split is not necessarily 50/50. Refer to our links to your state tax department for your state rules.
You can make changes to the spouse column, then select Recalculate to show the changes. To adjust the amounts in the You column for this return, select the Back button. At the Other Tax Situations screen, select Done With Other. Then make any adjustments, continue to the worksheet and calculate the new totals.
If you make an addition in one tax return, there should be a matching reduction in the other tax return. The Totals column must show the totals for each line and for your total combined income.
Once you have determined how to split both your combined income and tax withholding between you, continue with your state tax return.
Finish your tax returns
Continue entering or checking all other information necessary for both state returns. Be sure to review your federal and state returns for completeness and accuracy when you are finished.
Note: Depending on how tax withholding payments are allocated between the two MFS returns in a community property state, the IRS may not accept e-filed MFS tax returns at this time.
If your tax return is rejected with error code 0103, please print the tax return with the community property worksheet and mail the return to the IRS.

SRI International and Educational Research Collaborators To Expand Innovative Digital Math Curriculum in Florida
MENLO PARK, Calif. – February 24, 2014 – SRI International, together with its research collaborators, has been awarded a $12 million Investing in Innovation (i3) grant by the U.S. Department of Education Office of Innovation and Improvement to expand and validate an innovative middle school digital mathematics program in Florida schools. SRI Education researchers developed the SunBay Digital Math program to help teach challenging middle school math concepts by integrating technology, standards-aligned curriculum and teacher professional development into a powerful package that boosts student learning.
Based on two decades of research on how students learn key mathematical ideas with technology, SunBay uses visual dynamic representations to foster reasoning and support collaboration that increases student achievement in mathematics. The program has shown learning gains through studies in Florida, Texas and England.
"Florida's middle schools—and middle schools nationwide—are at a critical juncture as they strive to increase student achievement in mathematics that meets college- and career-readiness standards," said Jeremy Roschelle, Ph.D., co-director of the Center for Technology in Learning at SRI International. "As a top-rated proposal for i3 funding by the U.S. Department of Education, this project will demonstrate that SunBay is effective with today's standards that focus on deep, conceptual understanding and skills in mathematics that help prepare students for future success. We are particularly encouraged by past results showing that SunBay can enable high-need students to learn important advanced mathematics concepts, leading to algebra and beyond."
SRI is partnering in this program with school districts in Broward and Palm Beach counties, where the curriculum will be validated; the University of Florida Lastinger Center for Learning, which will provide professional development and support for teachers in Broward and Palm Beach counties; the University of South Florida St. Petersburg, which will investigate innovative approaches to professional development; and the Consortium for Policy Research in Education (CPRE) at the University of Pennsylvania, which will lead the evaluation efforts.
"We are honored to be a part of this ambitious effort to prepare our middle school students for success in high school, college and the increasingly competitive global marketplace," said Donald Pemberton, Ph.D., who directs the University of Florida Lastinger Center. "SRI International and the other partners in this project are leaders in their fields and we welcome the opportunity to use our expertise to help make a difference for the future of our state."
SRI and its partners will conduct a multi-year randomized control trial across schools in Broward and Palm Beach counties to determine SunBay's effectiveness as measured by new college- and career-readiness assessments. A second, concurrent study will include volunteer teachers from another school district, or "innovation district," in which variations of the SunBay materials will be used to decrease costs, as well as determine which teacher professional development practices are most effective. Ultimately, upon favorable results of the study, SRI and its partners will provide training and toolkits schools can use to implement SunBay programs, with the ability to scale throughout Florida and the nation.
"As a SunBay partner since 2009, we have learned that professional development is the key to supporting and engaging middle grade teachers in implementing innovative, dynamic technologies,'' said Vivian Fueyo, Ph.D., Interim Regional Vice Chancellor of Academic Affairs at USF St. Petersburg and principal investigator of the i3 project at USFSP. "The i3 grant provides the opportunity for us to investigate innovative approaches to professional development."
Helios Education Foundation, a key funding partner, is providing 50 percent of the required matching funds for the i3 grant. The funding will be used to make SunBay Digital Math as cost effective as possible, to improve instructional and teacher development processes, to recruit school districts to contribute to the scale and sustainability of the effort, and to identify and enable broad adoption of effective practices to introduce digital technologies into the classroom.
"As technology continues to become more infused in today's classroom setting, digital learning is gaining momentum and is a critical teaching and learning tool," said Helios Education Foundation President and CEO Paul Luna. "We know that the understanding of algebraic concepts is a gateway to future academic achievement, and the Sun Bay digital math curriculum increases student achievement and prepares students for college and career success. Helios is proud to have provided the seed funding to innovate a promising idea like SunBay Digital Math, and this i3 grant is an opportunity to take this effective initiative to scale."
Previously, Helios funded the pilot test of SunBay Digital Math in Florida. The pilot test was the basis of the validation study being pursued in the i3 grant. SunBay is located within SRI's Center for Digital Learning, located at SRI's St. Petersburg campus, and was funded through a $1 million Helios investment from which a portion of the i3 match is being drawn.
The Duke Energy Foundation, an early and consistent supporter of SunBay Digital Math, is providing additional matching funding for the i3 project.

Doc Rivers opened his daily meeting with the media yesterday by making a rather frightening statement. "We needed some of you guys for practice today," the Boston Celtics coach told the assembled group of reporters and cameramen.
Doc Rivers opened his daily meeting with the media yesterday by making a rather frightening statement.
"We needed some of you guys for practice today," the Boston Celtics coach told the assembled group of reporters and cameramen.
Sounds like the Celtics were in a rather desperate situation during their 75-minute workout if Rivers was thinking media members should join in.
As it turns out, the Celtics had only eight available players because seven players were sidelined due to injuries, illness and a family matter.
Kendrick Perkins, Delonte West and Jermaine O'Neal remain on the inactive list with injuries. Rajon Rondo (hamstring) and Shaquille O'Neal (knee) were unable to practice. Glen Davis (102-degree temperature) was sent home before the workout began and Nate Robinson was excused to deal with a personal issue.
That left starters Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen and Paul Pierce along with rookies Avery Bradley, Semih Erden and Luke Harangody, Von Wafer and Marquis Daniels, who is just getting over an illness.
"It was a very difficult practice, so you've got to create a practice," said Rivers. "We went with Marquis (at point guard), Ray and Paul and we ran an offense for an hour with that. It was good for them because we did that already once this year. We may have to do it again. It at least gives them a chance to run the offense.
"It affects you. I've never done as much preparation work with strange lineups as I've done over the last week. I'm just trying to prepare myself and them just in case it happens."
Rivers termed both Rondo, who sat out Sunday's win at New Jersey, and Shaquille O'Neal as "iffy" for tonight's game against the Denver Nuggets at TD Garden (CSN, ESPN, 7 p.m.) while Davis' status will depend on the speed of his recovery. Robinson is expected to be available and could make his fifth start in Rondo's absence this season.
The Celtics, winners of seven straight games, could be mixing and matching when they face the Nuggets, who entered last night's road matchup against the Charlotte Bobcats with a seven-game winning streak of their own.
"We had one lineup that guys were laughing at today, and I said, 'Guys, this may be our lineup,"' said Rivers. "So we had to work on it today. It's great having the Kevins and the Rays and the Pauls on your team. They were very serious today with the guys that we had.
"We had a Luke lineup at (center) today for a minute. Luke thought we were joking around. Kevin got on him and said, 'Get ready. This could happen. You've got to be ready.' I think that helps tremendously."
Page 2 of 2 - The Celtics, who have not lost since dropping back-to-back games to the Oklahoma City Thunder and Toronto Raptors last month, are finding ways to get through their depth issues.
"As a young team, you make excuses," said Pierce. "With this group, it doesn't matter who we put on the court. We feel like we're going to win. It makes us a deeper team. We've got guys getting minutes and experience. In the long run, I really think it's going to pay off."
Meanwhile, Allen said, "For one, there's no need to talk about it. If you can't play, you won't be out on the floor like we all have been."
Rondo, who sat out three games in a row before returning to play four straight, was unable to go against the Nets on Sunday because the hamstring began acting up. Rivers said there could be a point where the Celtics give Rondo, who is also dealing with plantar fasciitis in his feet, an extended break in order to make sure the hamstring is fully healed.
"I don't think it's a bad suggestion and it's been suggested already," said Rivers. "I think Eddie (Lacerte, the trainer) would know if he's close enough to play. The injury scares me, both the foot and the hamstring. The hamstring can go from a pull to a tear, and when you get a tear, you're talking two months."
For now, Rondo will be listed as day-to-day, and the Celtics will plug along, playing three games in the next four nights.
"We've got to somehow navigate our way and win as many games, knowing we're probably going to drop one or two in this thing," said Rivers. "We're just going to try to win as many as we can while we're going through this little crisis.
"Because of the injures now, I think our guys know every game is going to be hard. When you don't have all your horses, you're beatable every night."

KC Adams: Perception, imagery and the fragility of prejudiceCulture
Perception demonstrates the malleability of attitudes and the fragility of stigma. Its use of photographs, a medium central to our understanding of human faces and identity, serves an emotional and cognitive purpose: it allows one to transcend the shell of appearance and grasp the essence of others.
Virality, Solidarity and Meme WarfareCulture
While cats worldwide are no doubt thrilled at the digital attention they always knew they deserved, humans, and especially labour and social justice activists, might have reason to be wary of the meme. It may reinforce some the worst tendencies of the Left and those who are easily tempted to imagine that our ability to change the world is merely a matter of engineering better PR and more widely broadcasting their righteous message.
The First LoserCulture
Sport culture inevitably reflects and reinforces the values of the larger society in which sport is embedded. In sport, as in society, the unscrupulous competitor wins the race, gets the gold, gets the endorsements and gets the girl (or boy, depending on sex or sexual preference). The values of our corporate socio-economic system are almost perfectly mirrored in and mutually reinforced by the values of corporate sport.
Shooting Star: Techumseh Redux
Tecumseh, the great Shawnee War Chief of the 1812 War is vilified in the US and honoured (sort of) in Canada. But in Canada's centenary celebrations of the War of 1812, Tecumseh is largely being ignored.

The world is hurtling toward destruction, but giving up some male power is not an option
I wonder how many women are feeling like I do, especially older women. I look around and see that men are running the world, and no matter how screwed up the world is getting, what a dreadful and dangerous mess we are in, they are still loath to share the reins with women, who tend to see things and do things somewhat differently than men, if they are allowed to.

On the front lines of the African climate change battle
Who's killing Uganda's leading Muslim clerics?
Rahul Radhakrishnan | 18 Oct 2013 15:19 GMT | Politics, US & Canada, Afghanistan, Pakistan, United States
The United Nations has said that at least 450 civilians may have been killed by US drone strikes in Pakistan, Afghanistan and Yemen, a figure which the US has previously downplayed.
A UN report, obtained by Al Jazeera on Friday, stated that Pakistan's government had confirmed at least 400 civilian deaths as a result of US drone strikes, in stark contrast to what US officials had publicly acknowledged previously.
The report found that one of the major obstacles in obtaining accurate figures on civilian deaths was the lack of transparency by the countries involved, which has prompted a cauldron of legal issues that are yet to be addressed by UN-member states.
"This report aims to present the facts as clearly and objectively as possible. I have had good co-operation from most of the states involved, and I very much hope that this continues during the second phase of the inquiry when I will be aiming to get answers to some of the most difficult questions and putting allegations about particular drone strikes to the states responsible, and asking them to provide their own version of the facts," Ben Emmerson, the Special Rapporteur on Human Rights and Counter-Terrorism and author of the report, told Al Jazeera.
"This issue is clearly not going to go away, and I will continue asking the difficult questions for as long as it takes," he added.
As there were, or appear to be, reported cases of civilian deaths, the report states that the US has a legal obligation to launch its own impartial investigation and provide a public explanation because of its duty to protect civilians in an armed conflict.
The US, however, has not released any casualty figures so far from its CIA-led drone programme, especially in Pakistan and Yemen, but the spy agency has acknowledged that the figures were in "single digits", according to media reports.
The report, which is to be presented to the UN General Assembly on October 25, recommends that the UN member-states implement strict compliance to international humanitarian law and identifies a number of legal questions on the on the usage of drones which currently has no international consensus.
It also urged the US to be more transparent with its information on the drone campaign to ascertain the resultant civilian deaths.
"The single greatest obstacle to an evaluation of the civilian impact of drone strikes is lack of transparency, which makes it extremely difficult to assess claims of precision targeting objectively," wrote Emmerson.
The UN investigator, who heads the UN inquiry into the civilian impact of drone strikes launched earlier this year, considers the continued use of drones in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas amounts to be a violation of Pakistani sovereignty, "unless justified under the international law principle of self-defence", which enlists that a state can act upon armed groups, which may or may not have ties to another state, if it considers it a threat to its own national security.
He said that the use of lethal force under the pretext of counter-terrorism operations by the US outside of areas of active hostilities, "gives rise to a number of issues on which there is either no clear international consensus, or United States policy appears to challenge established norms."
White House spokesperson Laura Magnuson told NBC news that they were aware of the new UN report and cited Obama's speech in May in which he defended his administrations' use of drones and narrowed the scope of the targeted-killing campaign against al-Qaeda and its affiliates.
The Washington Post newspaper, citing documents provided by whistleblower Edward Snowden, reported on Wednesday that the CIA-operated drone campaign relied heavily on NSA's ability to intercept communications, leading to strikes targeting al-Qaeda fighters abroad.
In June 2011, John Brennan, Obama's top counter-terrorism adviser and current CIA chief, said that were no collateral deaths "because of the exceptional proficiency, precision or the capabilities we've been able to develop".
Emmerson said that the involvement of the CIA in US operations in Pakistan and Yemen "created an almost insurmountable obstacle to transparency", reiterating an earlier UN call for increased transparency over armed drones.
In August, US Secretary of State John Kerry told Pakistan state TV that drone strikes in the country could end soon as the threat of insurgency recedes. Pakistani government records estimate at least 2,200 deaths in drone strikes since 2004.
The report also indicated that at least 50 civilians were also killed in strikes on Afghanistan and Yemen.
The Special Rapporteur intends to submit a final report on his findings from the inquiry to the Human Rights Council in 2014.

I see no buzz or hype and nothing about the game is attention grabbing for me. I have many Insominac games but this one appears to be a pass. #3 Agree(7) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply Captain Qwark 9 + 941d ago def has no hype but to be fair it looked like shit until recently and thats coming from an insomniac fan clearly. that said, i will try this demo and if its good, im sold #3.1 Agree(4) | Disagree(1) | Report | Reply mercyme 941d ago | Spam Dlacy13g + 941d ago I can honestly say this demo more than any other in recent past is pretty important for this games success. I mean so many gamers have commented on how generic and bland it looks. For this to be a big success they have to be able to change some of those opinions with this demo. #5 Agree(3) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply Swiftfox + 941d ago I agree, they do need a great demo of this game. However, there is so much riding on Insomniac creating the correct demo. The last good demo I've experienced was Soul Sacrifice for the PSVita. It was the entire first chapter of the game; allowed me to toy, play, and customize aspects, and it cut off at the right moment with story and abilities leaving me hungry for more. It was a great demo. In order for this demo to sway those on the fence, it can't just be the first level of the game- Ten minutes of gameplay, 7 minutes of tutorial, 90% of the customization blocked out, and ending after a simple boss fight. To really hit this one on the head, Insomniac needs to include the co-op feature, a good solid hour of gameplay, and the ability for players to really play with customization—anything less would mean more disinterest. #5.1 Agree(1) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply TbreakingP + 941d ago Wish they would have brought it to PC #6 Agree(0) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply Jek_Porkins + 941d ago I'm gonna play the hell out of that demo, hopefully it's a fun game and I'll want to buy it after I try it. #7 Agree(1) | Disagree(1) | Report | Reply jetlian + 941d ago Same here and I think the resident evil demo is coming next week! I like tps over fps. It looks pretty good actually. Finally not all 4 players just palette swaps #7.1 Agree(1) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply hesido + 941d ago People have not bought GoW and GeoW, those were high profile, tried and tested formulas.

Im looking for something that is cheaper then a standard bike rack ($100) to affix to unused parking meter poles (we now have electronic parking.) Any help would be appreciated.
Im looking for something that is cheaper then a standard bike rack ($100) to affix to unused parking meter poles (we now have electronic parking.) Any help would be appreciated.
I believe 10 or 15 years ago Toronto initially converted some parking meters to bike "post and ring" stands. However I think now the post and ring stands are separately manufactured. Not sure who you would ask...try the city cycling committee. http://www.toronto.ca/cycling/index.htm
I know about those and they are too expensive. We are thinking of just some sort of cap so U locks would still work.
T-bar welded to the top, ring like the old hitching posts bolted on with tamperproof bolts. disadvantage is that it would take equipment at the pole and increae costs.
If real low-buck is the option, use pipe caps with a ring or T-bar maybe both welded to them then installed with epoxy, unless you have different meter mountings, all the ones I've seen were thread-on types. ring or T-bar would make it impossible for someone to lift a U lock over the top if they were made of a sturdy enough material, the epoxy would prevent unscrewing the cap. advantage is that all work can be done inside and the only thing you need at the pole is a 'wrench' and some epoxy
Put a hole through the post, big enough to put a cable or U through (1" dia).
These are some great ideas! Any more?
Weld a solid bar vertically to the post so that it is attached at the top and bottom with about a 4" gap between the post and the bar. Anything locked around the post, between the post and bar, couldn't be lifted over the top, or worked out from under the bottom then lifted over.
A hole drilled in the post would work, but only at a fixed height. A bar welded on vertically would make almost the entire height of the post usable.
The T-bar idea would work, but the city might be concerned about liability.
Saris group has a product especially designed to this purpose:
A standard U-lock is designed to not slip over the top of a classic parking meter. Are your meters small enough that this isn't true?
For cables and chains, a loop big enough to pass the cable through is all that is required. It should be made stronger than the cable.
All the meter tops have been removed and we just have poles sticking out of the ground right now.
I know here in Winnipeg they have a program, if you see a parking meter that you would like to have a ring attached to it you just call the city and they'll be out within a week.
3 years commuting while there's no snow on the ground. 20km round trip.

LAS CRUCES >> An enchilada dinner fundraiser will be July 10 to support Las Cruces High School principal Jed Hendee.
According to a news release, the event will be from 4 to 8 p.m. at Conlee Elementary School, 1701 Boston Drive.
Tickets are $6 each and can be purchased at the LCHS guidance office, 1750 El Paseo, or at the door on the day of the event. Additional donations will be accepted at the dinner.
The menu will include red enchiladas, beans, rice, lettuce and tomatoes, a roll and a drink.
For more information, or to help, contact Jenny Coppolo at 575-312-0783 or firstname.lastname@example.com. Shifts are in two-hour increments from 2 to 9 p.m.
Donations of water and sodas for take-out orders would also be appreciated, according to the release.
Several people have said on social media that Hendee had a brain tumor, though school district officials have not confirmed that is the case. He had surgery in June in Phoenix.
Students, family and community members are also raising money through the online crowd-funding site Go Fund Me to help cover the Hendee family's costs
