My wife dislikes … Kind of implies there's more … Specifically more to do … Needing to guess what's that … About.
I have been reading Juan Goytisolo's Don Juliàn. He looks ferocious. The book is. It's hard not to think this … Open, I guess. Open to the front, closed to the back. I don't know. Just guessing. Writing words. I'll need to get back at it. Find the thread. Use the needle. Knit a sock.
Gass brought me to Goytisolo. After Don Quixote it is the first book in Spanish I want to finish. It's a break from Finnegans Wake as well. Halfway through it, it kind of lost me (after the Russian revolution if I recall well). I'll get back to it. I consider it a …
altivo, gerifalte Poeta, ayùdame : a luz màs cierta, sùbeme : la patria no es la tierra, el hombre no es el àrbol : ayùdame a vivir sin suelo y sin raìces : móvil, móvil : sin otro alimento y sustancia que tu rica palabra : palabra sin historia, orden verbal autónomo, engañoso delirio : poema
Juan Goytisolo, Don Juliàn, p. 118
This bloody keyboard doesn't even let me put the accents in the right direction! Never mind. Let us stay a bit positive in this world which is fixed to its past and therefore closed to its future. Continue reading
Friday Afternoon Confessional: Finnegan's Slumber
If there's an -ist that applies to me it's pensivist. Maybe I should go cold turkey on thinking. I confess that the strategy of doing it moderately doesn't feel like the winning strategy. And what is a strategy if it is not winning. Isn't it all about winning? It is. It is. It is. Therefore I am. Whether I like it or not. Nobody asked me. Except myself. Precisely nobody, that is.
I'm reading Finnegans Wake. I confess to ambivalence about it. It's great but makes me feel little. What is the point?, is that the point? It is a snake; it is; it is; it is. But I was bitten long before. Now I'm just rattled. Ha. The beauty of it is: it is self-contained. I read it without trying to understand.
But let me think about the eternal recurrence of the eternal recurrence. I hate it but confess to loving those who seem to love it, or, at least, who love those who love those who seem to love it. The thing is that those who seem to love it are those who break the cycle and, methinks, Finnegans Wake breaks the cycle.

Friday Afternoon Confessional: on 'that'
I confess I feel somewhat different. I further confess that I am different from people who are really different in not being really – perceptibly – different. If I would do my life over, I would not be be bothered to do anything different except what I will do from now onwards. What I did was all fine; what I'm going to do just doesn't cut it. I confess I'll continue to live in the future where I know the right thing to do is to live in the past.
It's complicated.
What I'm going to do is to think about writing a treatise on the word 'that'. What I'm not going to do is just that. I confess that I admire this thing called language. Mainly because it isn't anyone's to call 'That's mine!' (or 'ours' for that matter because 'ours' is the chicken shit way of saying 'mine').
Language starts with 'that'. That's what I think at least and I confess I'd like to convince you of it.
Good Bye
It's not my place, this place. But I feel responsible somehow, as I always do. It seems it came to an end. So I think a tribute needs to top this page. I could talk about the splendid people who contributed here. The fact of the matter is, I don't know any of them. From 2 or 3 I know approximately where they live and what they do. That's it and that it is part of the heteronomous wonder of this place.
Instead let me talk about myself. I am a lucky bastard with the inborn capacity to feel out of luck. I am like most lucky bastards, that is. Things came easy to me, mainly because I settled for what comes easy. Kind of at least. Is that a crime? Just because it feels like one? Because the received opinion is that worthwhile is in association with making a tremendous effort? With pain and trembling?
Friday Afternoon Confessional: the fallacy of conservatism
This is the fallacy:
"If this tradition was good for the parents then it will be good for the kids as well."
There's not a lot more to conservatism and – as much hatred this fallacy deserves – it is also by far the best conservatism has to offer. Because, at least, it looks like it might make sense as some kid of a default rule. "Why change something that isn't broken?", is the most offered conservative response to, well, anything. And it should give pause (including the middle and all that) because what we share is valuable because it is what binds us. It should not be changed just because somebody feels like it, that's dictatorial. The fact is that change is the one tradition that binds every single culture together. So, in conserving, conservatism degenerates so quickly in dictatorial behavior precisely because conservatism strives to abolish the very change that makes us uniquely capable to cope with the unexpected. It's no coincidence that the outer edges of conservatism are plagued with convictions such as creationism. As it isn't coincidence that the outer edges of revolutionary progressives are plagued with totalitarians. And that the next generations of those revolutionary people quickly converge to conserve (showing how evolutionarily stable conservatism is).
So I confess to not merely hating conservatism.
Still, it is a fallacy so let's inspect in some detail the fallacy of conservative conflation:
Tuesday Hatred of a whole Internet of Things
I hated people who have time to do this:
Now I am one of them.
And not particularly good at it either. With advance apologies to all fine people putting their passion into this IoT thing, at least they're taking action in something and it's taking action that counts.
Still, all this talk about fridges talking to cars on where they are located such that the car can summon the phone of a repair guy who can hold the phone in the right way for the troubleshooting SW to tell the fridge to reset (and if that doesn't work tell the phone to get repair guy to push the reboot button) is kind of lame. Not that it wouldn't be cool (except maybe if you are the kind of repair guy who wouldn't take advantage of being let into a home because his phone tells someone's door to open on account of the fridge telling the door that: "It's O-Kay" on some fancy super-secretly encrypted protocol). It just seems a lot of fuzz over manipulating things where in principle one would think that it's somewhat more interesting to work with what actual people do.
At the very least what I got out of this post is that I managed to write a paragraph where a majority of words are bracketed (but there is more on the core of the issue, for those who still practice the slowly disappearing art of suspending judgment). Continue reading
Friday Afternoon Confessional: Reading List
I confess I put my life on hold for the last 12 months chasing a ghost. It took me more than a month just to start to remember how life was. Was it worth it? I confess I have no idea. Am I done chasing ghosts? I confess my best answer is: time will tell.
The piles of books which have amassed to the left and right of me do suggest I kept on reading though. I confess I want to boast about that.
To my left, pile n°1: Kripke, Naming & Necessity; Bolaño, Amberes, El Tercer Reich & Estrella Distante; Zweig, Schachnovelle.
Across older piles lying open on pp. 150-151 for reasons I confess I forgot entirely: Gadamar, Elogio de la teoría. Which brings me to the piles to my right featuring more Gadamer, On Education, Poetry And History as well as Wer bin Ich und wer bist Du. The latter sits on top of Fitch, Saul Kripke and Peinado, Futbolistas de izquierdas. Further down in that pile: Gass, Middle C and the almost most recent one: Piketty, Le capital au XXIe siècle.
To my left, pile n° 2: Jaeger, Paideia: los ideales de la cultura griega & Aristoteles; Grundlegung einer Geschichte seiner Entwicklung.
I confess all this name dropping leaves me feeling I really have something to confess about. I am unsure however whether it is arrogance or lack of reading quality/quantity (certainly as far as fiction goes). In order not to have to dwell on that issue I'll just mention what I'm reading now (& only talk about that one below the fold): Steven Johnson, Everything Bad is Good for You. As you can tell from the Capital letters in the title I'm turning to vulgarized science from time to time (I blame Dawkins for that) but I'm not addicted to it, yet (I might add now I'm at it that I quit smoking if, I confess, without quitting nicotine given I just have put an "e-" before my cigarettes).
I confess it was not my plan to write that many words before I got to this pink book by (the maybe venerable) Steven Johnson and the Flynn effect.
Sunday Stories: Paideia (1?)
I had visitors yesterday: an old friend who moved abroad and visited his home country with his kids. His eldest is a year younger than mine is. The discussion came to choosing the right path for their higher education. My son chose politics. His son is about to chose civil engineering. There is no discussion these choices are the right ones for the two respective adolescents. The interesting part of the conversation was my friends' sons' question to my son on his choice: "Qué es la salida?" (could have been 'Cuál', my Spanish is kind of rusty).
This sums up the modern view of education: you learn to be able to land the right job. But whilst the job may be the right one, is this the right conception? Continue reading
Tuesday Quought: Transzendentale Methodenleere
"We have found, indeed, that although we had contemplated building a tower which should reach to the heavens, the supply of materials suffices only for a dwelling-house, just sufficiently commodious for our business on the level of experience, and just sufficiently high to allow our overlooking it. The bold undertaking that we had designed is thus bound to fail through lack of material – not to mention the babel of tongues, which inevitably gives rise to disputes among the workers in regard to the plan to be followed, and which must end by scattering them all over the world, leaving each to erect a separate building for himself, according to his own design. At present, however, we are concerned not so much with the materials as with the plan; and inasmuch as we have been warned not to venture at random upon a blind project which may alltogether beyond our capacities, and yet cannot well abstain from building a secure home for ourselves, we must plan our building in conformity with the material which is given to us, and which is also at the same time appropriate to our needs.", Immanuel Kant, Kritik der Reinen Vernunft, Reclam, 1966, p. 726 – this is the semi-official English internet translation of the original passage.
[I am re-posting this from another blog of mine out of nostalgia. This is a favorite quote of mine and my quought of 2008 actually is, in an endearing kind of way, something that has stayed constant in my head over the past 30 odd years.]
I know: a poet he was not. Nevertheless, this is a sublime poetic truth. It is much like my history teacher (the forever unknown Jef Arras) told me twenty years before I mustered the courage to read, happily unguided as ever, this rather annoying but great book: there was philosophy before and after Kant, and only the latter is of real significance. Continue reading
Tuesday Quought: all that has an end has an end
"Meaningful criteria are not simply those posited by society – or those of our ancestors – applied as law to a given case. Rather, every concrete determination by the individual contributes to socially meaningful norms. The problem is similar to that of correct speech. There too we find undisputed agreement on what is admissible, and we subject it to codification. The teaching of language in schools, for example, make it necessary that the schoolmaster apply these rules. But language continues to live, and it thrives not according to a strict adherence to rules, but by general innovations in spoken usage, and in the last instance from the contributions of every individual." Hans-Georg Gadamer, in "On Education, Poetry, and History. Applied Hermeneutics, SUNY, 1992, p. 173.
It's hard writing this and at the same time listening to a live report in Spanish of a Real Madrid game. All indications are I'd do better doing neither. But here I am, thinking about whether things that – like my life, this place – ultimately come to an end still come to an end. They do. Although not in the way most people like their ends – final, clean and clear cut -, they do. Every contribution contributes. To what? How? No clue. A certain amount of voluntarism is indispensable. Not a question of laissez faire the big things but one of laissez aller the small ones.

My husband and I stayed here for a four day weekend in the fall. The entire experience was far better than I even anticipated. The hosts were friendly and knowledgable and served an delicious menu of rotating options every morning. Each morning we woke up to the smell of bacon wafting through the halls and each evening ended with munching on the delicious homemade cookies they bake fresh every day. Our room was lovely and the fireplace was a wonderful addition. Also the porch and breakfast area has the most perfect view of Mt. Washington! We definitely plan on going back!

Bob and Emily have a lovely home, and are incredibly gracious and friendly hosts. My husband and I visited for two nights, and had a cozy, third floor room with a separate sitting area and fire place. Breakfast consisted of fresh fruit, an amazing homemade muffin, juice, coffee/tea, and your choice of entrees each day (a savory, a sweet, and "eggs your way", plus sausage and/or bacon and fantastic home fries)--great to have variety--and was quite tasty. Additionally, there are always fresh baked cookies waiting in the entry hall as a snack. The common rooms are also warm and inviting, and though we didn't end up taking advantage of it, it was nice to have the pool table as an option for whiling away the time. The only (very minor) criticism we would have is that the breakfast room is quite chilly--granted we were there over two of the coldest days of winter, and I'm not sure I'd want it warmer if it meant losing the massive picture windows with views of Mt. Washington--just be sure to bundle up a bit for breakfast. We would absolutely stay here again!

Pros - Jacuzzi was relaxing. Quaint home with pool table Breakfast tasted great Cons - Mountain view is exaggerated from bedroom. SERVICE.. Here's where this B&B went from above average and pleasant to i'll never return since it's a dime a dozen. My Gf and I are in our mid 20s but on a couple occasions the male host (forget his name) treated us like some kind of juveniles. He seemed irritable most of the time, and raised his voice often when we asked questions. Here's an anecdote to help explain the negative review: [There's a lovely pool table on the bottom floor, and while we were playing my GF gets a ball in and celebrates but (in a normal speaking voice at 8 pm) saying Yes, I got it! The host was nearby and comes storming out saying WHAT DID YOU SAY? I personally thought he was joking but you could tell by his face that he was visibily upset. My gf responds (has an accent) by saying she just said that she got a ball in. He responds by saying ARE YOU SURE? At the point i'm holding my tongue back because it was literally my first couple hours there and didn't want to risk getting kicked out but in the end I had to take over and say something. I responded with " She just said she got it in, she doesn't swear at all and that's all she said." He didn't seem convinced but walked away.] I just felt like he was overbearing and quite frankly rude. He also was rude while taking our orders in the morning while my GF misunderstood him about the options due to English not being her 1st language. All in all, it wasn't terrible and you could tell the guy wanted us to enjoy our time but he meddled too much for me to say I would go back. There's a ton of other places around for the same price and personally I would go farther up the mountain next time. tl;dr - It's okay if everything else is booked but don't expect anything special.

NOTE: I tried to give 5 stars for all the categories but for some reason this site would not let me, that is the only reason I gave 4 stars. I was looking for a bed and breakfast to take my girlfriend to, to celebrate her 50th birthday. After a lot of research on-line I decided on Wildflowers Inn. Everything about the inn was outstanding. The hosts were gracious and accommodating, the room was awesome and the breakfasts were fantastic. We stayed a couple weeks before Christmas. It was decorated beautifully, which added to the lovely ambiance. Of course getting a huge snowfall on Saturday into Sunday added to the beauty. And on Sunday we were shoveled out after breakfast and able to leave on time. I can't finish this review without mentioning the plates of homemade cookies that are provided in the entrance hallway. The best cookies we have ever had...period!! I already have reservations for January 2015 and expect it to be another fabulous weekend.

MIDDLEBURY — A member of the Otter Creek Audubon Society board has resigned as the society's delegate to the Addison County Regional Planning Commission after casting a vote on the proposed Addison-Rutland Natural Gas pipeline that he later acknowledged was contrary to the position of his organization.

WATERBURY CENTER — The Green Mountain Club, which maintains the Long Trail, has hired a man who grew up in Middlebury as its new leader.
On this past Wednesday, the club's board of directors announced the appointment of Michael DeBonis as the organization's next executive director.
MIDDLEBURY/VERGENNES — TaeKwon Do K.I.C.K.S. of Middlebury and Vergennes has had a very busy start to 2014. In January, we promoted 6 students to black belt: Tyler King, 9, of Bristol; Sam Warren, 9, of Bridport; Wes Hirdler, 10, of Middlebury; Rielly Wright, 12, of Salisbury; Grace Widelitz, 13, of Middlebury; and Jacob Brookman, 13, of Leicester.
MIDDLEBURY — The Addison County Regional Planning Commission (ACRPC) board on Wednesday voted 15-11 that the proposed natural gas pipeline from Middlebury to Ticonderoga, N.Y., can pass muster with the county's regional plan. That decision will be passed along to the Vermont Public Service Board to consider as it determines whether to green-light the controversial project being advanced by Vermont Gas.
ADDISON COUNTY — Despite the departure from the Addison County Chamber of Commerce of organizer and promoter Marguerite Senecal this month, the signature events she coordinated — including the Vergennes Day celebration — will still go on.
Chamber President Andrew Mayer said French Heritage Day, the Bristol Harvest Festival and the Better L8 Than Never Car Show, all of which Senecal had a hand in, are still on the calendar as well.
As the sunset colors fade from purple to black, the forest is dimly illuminated by a first-quarter moon. An eerie sound breaks the calm. It is not the long, low, slow howling of wolves that can be heard further north, but the group yip-howl of coyotes: short howls that often rise and fall in pitch, punctuated with staccato yips, yaps and barks.
BRIDPORT — Two issues dominated the conversation at the annual legislative luncheon Monday in Bridport: bills in the Legislature to mandate the labeling of genetically modified foods and pollution regulations affecting Lake Champlain.
Farmers, community members and legislators packed the Bridport Community Hall Monday for the luncheon devoted to agriculture issues. State Reps. Harvey Smith, R-New Haven, Diane Lanpher, D-Vergennes, Willem Jewett, D-Ripton, and Will Stevens, I-Shoreham, were on hand to discuss agricultural issues facing Addison County farmers.
MONTPELIER — Hunters took 14,107 deer during Vermont's four deer hunting seasons in 2013, according to a report on last year's hunting success released March 20 by the Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department.
The number of legal bucks with at least two points on one antler totaled 8,831, up 8 percent from the year before.
MIDDLEBURY — A former Vergennes man will serve a prison term of 20 years to life in connection with the sexual assault of a 12-year-old Addison County girl back in November of 2012.
Addison County Superior Court Judge Robert Mello passed the sentence on Leo Pratt, 46, following an extensive hearing at the Addison County Courthouse on Thursday, March 27. Pratt was convicted of the charge of aggravated sexual assault in October, a trial that Judge Mello presided over in Addison County Superior Court, criminal division, last October.
MIDDLEBURY — Green Mountain Care Board member Dr. Allan Ramsay urged Addison County's medical community to be patient as the state transitions to a new health care system that he acknowledged will be fraught with change and challenges.
"One of the things I've learned intensely over the past two years is that change is very hard," Ramsay said at Porter Medical Center's annual meeting last week. "It is very hard to change the system."

Presentation and resolution from the IAOPA World Assembly in Beijing, September 2014 and supporting documents:
When Safety Regulation works against Safety - lessons from Europe
EU Parliament adopts GA friendly resolution
The European Parliament has given general aviation its biggest boost in modern times with the adoption of a resolution which guides the EC and member states to adopt a raft of principles which would preserve, foster and promote GA across Europe. Resolution 2008/2134(INI) sets out the importance of keeping legislation in proportion, recognising the differences between CAT and GA in setting fees and charges, ensuring that GA has access to airports and airspace and accepting that GA has a vital role to play in Europe's transport infrastructure.
The resolution, adopted by a huge margin - 524 votes in favour, 74 against and six abstentions - now forms the basis of the European Commission's approach to general aviation. The Commission is in turn the boss of EASA, which will find it very difficult to ignore the new landscape for GA. In addition, national AOPAs can now use it in negotiations with their own CAAs to ensure that GA is treated fairly.
The full document can be seen by clicking on this link. It includes 35 clauses, each of which represents a major breakthrough for GA, addressing nearly every major issue impacting on general aviation today; access to airfields and airspace, proportionality in regulation and charges and appropriate technology requirements. It calls on the EC to recognise the important role that GA plays in the training of professional pilots.
The resolution had its genesis in a meeting four years ago between European Aviation Commissioner Daniel Calleja di Crespo and a three-man IAOPA delegation at which the need for action on European legislation affecting GA was discussed. MEPs like Timothy Kirkhope from the UK and Arunas Degutis from Lithuania, both pilots, have been active in canvassing support. IAOPA is having the document translated into every European language and distributed to authorities across the continent.

Rural Urban Framework (RUF) has been named winner of the 2015 Curry Stone Design Prize at the inaugural Chicago Architecture Biennial. Addressing China's unprecedented rural-to-urban migration, RUF has (so far) helped 18 depopulating villages throughout the country prepare for their inevitable transformation by building schools, community centers, hospitals, houses and infrastructure in a collaborative process that empowers locals.
"The work of RUF is addressing one of the most urgent current geopolitical issues, how to deal with the imbalances created by large mass migrations," said Emiliano Gandolfi, the Prize Director. "Their work is exemplifying how architecture should establish a dialogue with the community and the environment in order to built structures that respond to their changing needs."

Japan PM Abe to craft war history comments with eye on U.S.
TOKYO (Reuters) – When Prime Minister Shinzo Abe addresses Japan's wartime past in a statement marking the 70th anniversary of the end of World War Two, the reaction of ally Washington will likely be as much, if not more, on his mind than that of Asian nations that suffered from Japanese military aggression.
U.S. officials have welcomed Abe's push to strengthen the alliance and give Japan a bigger global security role less constrained by its pacifist constitution. But they have also made clear they are loath to see Abe stir regional tensions with comments that critics could construe as whitewashing history.
Indonesian president says China's main claim in South China Sea has no legal basis
JAKARTA/TOKYO (Reuters) – Indonesian President Joko Widodo says one of China's main claims to the majority of the South China Sea has no legal basis in international law, but Jakarta wants to remain an "honest broker" in one of Asia's most sensitive territorial dispute.
Widodo's comments in an interview with a major Japanese newspaper come as he embarks on a visit to Japan and China and is the first time he has taken a position on the issue since coming to power in October.
Seventy years on, Japan, U.S. remember epic Iwo Jima battle
TOKYO (Reuters) – When Yoshitaka Shindo was a boy, he did not hear much from his family about his grandfather Tadamichi Kuribayashi, commander of the Japanese troops who fought and died in the bloody battle of Iwo Jima.
The battle, in which nearly 7,000 U.S. Marines and almost 22,000 Japanese defenders died, was etched in America's memory by an Associated Press photo of six soldiers raising the U.S flag on the small volcanic island's Mount Suribachi.
Japan ex-ruling party chief urges Abe to erase doubts over war history
TOKYO (Reuters) – Prime Minister Shinzo Abe must erase doubts – sparked by his own words and deeds – that he wants to water down accounts of Japan's wartime wrongs, a former leader of Abe's Liberal Democratic Party said on Tuesday.
Yohei Kono, who as chief cabinet secretary issued a landmark 1993 apology over women forced to work in wartime military brothels, said one source of such doubts was Abe's push for a more muscular military unfettered by the pacifist constitution.
Japan ex-PM says Abe risks alienating neighbors if he dilutes apology
TOKYO (Reuters) – Prime Minister Shinzo Abe risks further alienating Asian neighbors China and South Korea if he does not stick to the substance of a 1995 apology for wartime aggression, the man who issued the landmark statement two decades ago said on Tuesday.
Former prime minister Tomiichi Murayama, a socialist, was head of an unwieldy coalition with the conservative Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) when he made the "heartfelt apology" for the wartime damage and suffering caused by Japan. Abe, then a rookie LDP lawmaker, was one of those who opposed the move.
Japan eyes MI6-style spy agency as it seeks to shed pacifist past
TOKYO (Reuters) – Japan is looking into creating an overseas intelligence agency possibly modeled on Britain's MI6 spy service, ruling party lawmakers say, 70 years after Allied victors dismantled Japan's fearsome military intelligence apparatus following World War Two.
A new foreign intelligence agency would be an integral part of a security framework Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is building as he seeks to loosen the post-war pacifist constitution's limits on the military's ability to operate overseas.
Japanese media self-censorship grows in PM Abe's reign
TOKYO (Reuters) – Worries are growing in Japan about a trend of media self-censorship as journalists and experts say news organizations are toning down criticism of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's government for fear of sparking ire and losing access to sources.
No one is accusing Abe's administration of overt meddling in specific news coverage, but media insiders and analysts say the government's message is getting through.
Japan global PR message could misfire with focus on wartime past
TOKYO (Reuters) – A push by Japan to correct perceived bias in accounts of the country's wartime past is creating a row that risks muddling the positive message in a mammoth public relations campaign to win friends abroad.
The PR campaign, which has a budget of over half a billion dollars, comes as Prime Minister Shinzo Abe aims to adopt a less apologetic stance on Japan's actions before and during World War Two and ease the fetters imposed on defense policy by Japan's post-war, pacifist constitution.
Working with global community only way to fight terrorism – Japan PM
TOKYO (Reuters) – Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said on Monday he wanted to debate the possibility of Japan's military rescuing Japanese citizens abroad, a day after Islamic State militants said they had beheaded a Japanese journalist.
The militants said on Sunday they had beheaded Kenji Goto, a veteran war reporter, after international efforts to secure his release through a prisoner swap failed. They killed another Japanese hostage, Haruna Yukawa, a week before.
Japan to debate rescue missions after Islamic State executions
TOKYO (Reuters) – The beheading of two Japanese citizens by Islamic State militants is fanning calls to allow Japan's long-constrained military to conduct overseas rescue missions as part of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's push for a more muscular security posture.
Even some advocates of legal changes to make rescues possible, however, say Japan's military faces big hurdles to acquiring the capacity to conduct such missions, while critics say sending troops overseas would just increase the risk.

Even as some states begin pushing back against Common Core State Standards, the state of Alaska has signed on as an "advisory" member with one of the two consortia responsible for developing CCSS assessments, the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium.
To be clear, Alaska has not adopted Common Core standards; nor does the move signal that the state will do so. Rather, the state adopted its own new standards that align closely enough with Common Core that, as Alaska's Department of Education and Early Development (DEED) described it, the SBAC assessments will "provide valid and reliable results for Alaska." Alaska provides an overview and comparison of its standards with others on its Toolkit portal. (Click the links under "Transition" to see the details.)
The distinction here is that while Alaska's students will take the Smarter Balanced assessments, Alaska will not be bound by the dictates of any outside organization for "curriculum or teaching methods. Standards and assessments present a goal. School districts retain their authority to decide how to reach that goal."
The Alaska DEED reported that SBAC's summative assessments will be implemented online in the 2014-2015 school year "for grades 3 through 8 and 11" to fulfill NCLB requirements as well as non-high-stakes, formative assessments that will be used throughout the school year.
Smarter Balanced will also "determine the assessment scores that indicate levels of achievement such as advanced, proficient, below proficient, and far below proficient. For the 11th grade assessment, SBAC will work with higher education to define benchmark scores that indicate whether a student is on track to be college-ready, meaning that students should not need remedial courses in English and math in postsecondary institutions."
Smarter Balanced has three levels of membership: governing states, advisory states, and affiliate members. Governing states are full members with policy voting power. Most members (21 members) are governing states. Affiliate membership is reserved for United States territories and commonwealths. Advisory states like Alaska provide assessment development guidance and participate in other ways with the consortium but do not have voting rights.
"Alaska is both honored and excited to join Smarter Balanced," said Erik McCormick, director of assessment, accountability, and information management at the Alaska DEED, in a prepared statement. "We look forward to sharing our unique expertise in our advisory role. The resources that the Consortium offers will benefit Alaska in preparing our students to be college- and career-ready."
With the additional of Alaska, the total membership of Smart Balanced is back up to 26. (Utah withdrew from Smarter Balanced back in August 2012, and Alabama dropped out in February.)
Other advisory states include North Dakota, Pennsylvania, and Wyoming.

period 27 per cent of Yale's investments were in bonds, 54 per cent of Harvard's, and for the independent colleges, 50 per cent. Such large differences in investment policy among major universities are not likely now.5
By the 1930s it became increasingly clear that it was difficult to play safe. For example, a trustee of Lehigh University said: "A great criticism against trust companies and trustees charged with the investment of funds is that they have been actuated more by an effort to play safe and according to certain formulas, rather than to exercise personal vigilance and watchful care over not only the preservation, but also the enhancements of funds for which they are held responsible."
It was Oliver Wendell Holmes who said: "Every year, if not every day, we have to wager our salvation upon some prophesy based upon imperfect knowledge."6
Looking back, it is easy to see that many mistakes were made. For example, from 1938 to 1947, 12 institutions increased their holdings of bonds from $166 million to $228 million, and the percentages of bonds to total investment from 38.7 to 42.9. By this time the probability and fact of inflation was clearly evident, and this might seem like poor policy. However, this increase is explained in part by the need of supporting the government-bond market in the midst of war, although the sacrifice of income to patriotic impulse varied from college to college. By 1947 Dartmouth had put 13.5 per cent of its total investments in government bonds, and Columbia 14 per cent, whereas Oberlin had 41.5 per cent and Harvard 35 per cent. Even by 1947 these 12 institutions had increased their proportion of investments in common stocks (book value) from 22 to 29 per cent, a relatively small rise in view of the economic conditions. Those with the highest proportion in stocks were Mount Holyoke with 41 per cent, and Harvard with 38: and the lowest proportion, Carnegie with 14 and Columbia with 17 per cent.7

This certainly is no disreprect to the 67's, they've had a tough year...he's part of it. He's gonna move on now to a better team, obviosuly when you get traded from a low team to a higher team. He's gonna be counted on there heavily, and he's gotta be ready for that. And I think by coming in here, and getting a little bit of coaching from our guys on what we expect in the second half from him - it's a different situation so expectations are different. Put a lot of the onus on him to step up his game, and I think by starting him here with good players here it gives him a chance to just walk in there and you know have no issues on changing teams....

Every morning, the fine folks at Sports Radio Interviews sift through the a.m. drive-time chatter to bring you the best interviews with coaches, players, and personalities across the sports landscape. Today: Ault wasn't impressed when he first met Kaepernick at Nevada.
Chris Ault, the innovator behind the pistol offense and long, long-time head coach of Nevada Wolf Pack football, is officially stepping down after 28 (non-consecutive) years. In that time, Ault recorded some impressive statistics, including only two losing seasons in his tenure, and 27 seasons of outscoring…
On Friday, ESPN senior vice president and executive producer Mark Gross sent a memo to his staff. It read in part:
It's Christmas Eve, but there was no peace on Earth in (apparently) heathen Hawai'i, as the first half of the Sheraton Hawai'i Bowl got ugly with a brief bit of violence after Southern Miss scored a touchdown to take a lead into the locker room. [ESPN]
Hawaii is a long way away from everything, true. And the Sheraton Hawaii Bowl doesn't really care, because Nevada is on the hook for the entire allotment anyway. (It was 5,600 when the Wolf Pack played this game in 2009.) Sounds like a lot of military personnel are going to get to watch some free football! [Reno…
Because no one reads the newspaper, and SportsCenter's anchors are too perky for this early in the morning, Deadspin combs the best of the broadsheets and internets to bring you everything you need to know to start your day.
By thwarting the Broncos' BCS bowl hopes, the Wolf Pack cost themselves and every WAC team a million dollars each in BCS revenue. We're not ones to encourage immoral and illegal actions, but, yeah, they probably should have just tanked. [Business Insider]
Because no one reads the newspaper, and SportsCenter's anchors are too perky for this early in the morning, Deadspin combs the best of the broadsheets and internets to bring you everything you need to know to start your day.

Burleson is the little brother of Minnesota Vikings' receiver (and former Nevada standout) Nate Burleson the only Viking NOT to go on the Sex Boat.…
Well, when your supposedly legendary franchise has started the season 2-3, you just lost at home to a team from the WAC and your head coach boss thinks he's actually fooling anyone with that toupee ... sometimes all that will leave you in a foul mood.
What to watch as elves cobble shoes in the tiny sweatshop you've constructed in the garage ...

September 10, 2010, 10:49 AM
I would buy as many of them as I could afford at that price.

Could you please PM me with the name of this dealer as well, thanks.

Dude, what a rip off for a junky Sig 220 . . . . . . . . . . uh, er, send me the dealers name and address too :rolleyes:
September 10, 2010, 12:30 PM
Dang! Everyone ELSE is always having all the luck!!! :mad: Yes, e-mail me the name of the dealer too! :D
Good grief -- I've been wanting a P220 for months!!!!!
September 10, 2010, 12:41 PM
That's an awesome deal, but I would be weary. Look them over really well. Police Officers are well known for not taking care of their service pistols.
The good thing about the Police trade-ins is that the majority of them have been shot very little, but they have a lot of holster wear.
Below is a link to a "Sig Inspection" article on the Gray Guns website. It may assist you in picking out a good Sig.

Sig Sauer P226 .40 Black w/3 Mags and case, Item Number: UG136, Sale Price $399.99
September 10, 2010, 01:21 PM
well here in Houston, I have seen it sold for 450.
I usually buy locally because I can see the condition.
September 10, 2010, 03:00 PM
I hate to bring up the rear, but I too, would like to know the dealer's name. I have two P series SIG's, including a nickel 1996 P220, and they are great guns.
September 10, 2010, 03:19 PM
EAJ - have you or anybody else ever ordered from Express Police Supply? That's a nice price on the P226.........
Russ Jackson
September 10, 2010, 03:58 PM
The website is vanceoutdoors.com and it is only a 1 day deal. If it doesn't pop up when you go to the site just click the deal of the day banner. It is a local shop near me and I have bought alot of from them. Great guys...Russ
September 10, 2010, 10:23 PM
EAJ - have you or anybody else ever ordered from Express Police Supply? That's a nice price on the P226.........
No, sorry, I haven't. It was advertised in their weekly (email) sales circular. I would purchase one, but prefer the 9mm and already own 3 P226's.
September 10, 2010, 11:26 PM
That is an excellent price for a 220.
We had a police supply house that was selling the 226 9mm for $399 (remember this is in CA), but when they sold out the LGSs were selling the same gun for $450. The 229 is going for $479 and the 220 for over $500
You can't go wrong with a LE trade-in 220 for less than $400...unless you get the one belonging to the rare officer who actually practiced...most will only have holster wear
September 12, 2010, 09:59 PM
I've just sold my XDM, so I think I'm going to take the plunge an order a P229 40 from Express Police Supply. I just emailed them and retired military qualifies for their first responder price, so I might have to check out their new Sig's.............
evan price
September 13, 2010, 12:19 AM
Vance's is in Columbus Ohio. They got a whole bunch of I was told State Patrol guns recently. I bought my P220 there. It helps to go in person and select, some have more wear than others. I would have no problems dealing with them, they are the biggest/best priced gunstore in Columbus.
They did have these in the store for $449 with three mags, I guess this was a special deal.
The thing to watch for is wear on the frame rails; Sigs like some wet lube there or you can gall the aluminum rails. Mine was a German made 1996 model with slight holster wear and like-new inside.

The In-Depth Studio Approach: Incorporating an Art Museum Program into a Pre-Primary Classroom
Trimis, Eli, Savva, Andri, Art Education
With the advent of Discipline Based Art Education (DBAE), student contact with original works of art was considered central to curriculum planning and art museums became of particular importance in the study of art (Clark, Day, & Greer, 1987). Art museums can be important educational resources for young children if educational programs in these settings encourage students to interact with artworks in meaningful ways (Durant, 1996; Epstein & Trimis, 2002; Kerlavage, 1995; Lund & Osborne, 1995).
In Cyprus, art appreciation has been introduced in early childhood classrooms but it is rarely applied. When it is applied, art appreciation happens mainly through the use of visual aids such as painting reproductions and slides (Sawa, 2003). Except for some interesting programs applied in early childhood settings or educational programs initiated by museums, young children in Cyprus appear to have few real artwork experiences. Visits to art exhibitions usually consist of school field trips with no preparation or reflection opportunities. Archeological sites, monuments, museums, and sites or institutions where art can be appreciated are easily accessible in Cyprus. Actual visits to these sites, however, are rare. In the case that visits are made, they are usually not linked to the everyday art activities of the children in the classroom, either before or after a visit.
While new programs in art education are developed, implemented, and evaluated, teachers try to understand how an art museum experience can enhance and enrich children's art learning. One way to take advantage of a museum visit is to consider it as one component of a three-part unit that consists of preliminary preparation, a museum visit, and follow-up work (Hooper-Greenhill, 1991).
Recent literature refers to the significance of incorporating stimuli gained from visits to art museums and places of cultural interest into classroom practice (Epstein & Trimis, 2002; Xanthoudaki, 1998). Trimis (1996) introduced the indepth studio approach, an art instruction method that emphasizes the development of young children's firsthand knowledge of each visual arts medium before attempts are made to see how similar art activities are carried out in the real word (e.g., an artist's studio or an art museum).
We implemented the in-depth studio approach as part of a larger study of museum education in Cyprus.1 The approach enables students to explore materials and techniques in-depth and to progress in developmental stages (preliminary, enrichment, production, reflection). The program has two thrusts: making art and looking at art. Basic elements of this program include the child, space (area, place, land, locality, location, village, or town), and flexible time. The program was based on:
a. A three-part unit model, consisting of children's preliminary work, the visit itself, and follow up art activities in the classroom (Hooper- Greenhill, 1991); and,
b. The philosophy and principles of the in-depth studio approach in which emphasis is given to knowledge of each visual arts medium before and after visiting workplaces and museums in general (Epstein & Trimis, 2002).
Our aim was to introduce preservice teachers to ways of implementing programs that link museum education with art activities in the classroom. At the same time, the preservice teachers explored children's responses during art classroom activities and their visit to the museum. Our investigation encompassed three phases: (1) creating art during art activities in the classroom; (2) a visit to a contemporary art museum and the construction of meaning about contemporary artworks; and (3) making art after visiting a contemporary art museum.
Preservice early childhood teachers participated in an art museum program with young children at the Nicosia Municipal Arts Center in Cyprus. Initially, preservice teachers visited the art museum with their art professor in order to become informed about the place and the art collection. …

BY NICK ST.

A couple of guys that have also worked at safety; a couple safeties that have also worked at corner."Devin McCourty is the team's starting safety after starting his professional career at cornerback, and Kyle Arrington played at nickel last season after a stint manning the perimeter. Arrington will remain in the slot with Aqib Talib and Alfonzo Dennard the projected starters outside, though he has experience near the sideline if the Patriots ever need to use him there.While New England prefers to keep McCourty at centerfield, he also has a body of work to fa...
