In November and December I will do commissions as this only for 35
Please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com if you do commissions. Thanks!
I love your work! You do wonder woman commissions?
The Way it should have been in the tv series lol nice
Very good your art ... Please wait for updates. And imagine what would Sardor Wonder Woman totally dejected. Maybe take her on his shoulder to the cave, where would the Scrylls.
Incredible pic! I love it!
do you have a frontal bearhug of this?
Sorry. I don´t understand
Nothing is free, i see...
No. Sorry. This isn´t a paid web. There are 6 draws and I hope will come more. Only that in this two month, at least, I draw commisions for the people because I have time and I need money. And if the people want, I will raise the art to this page (not all the people want, but 4 draws are, for example). Only that the people can have a "personalized" drawing.
I underestand. Your art is very qualified. You must take your time to do it. I`ll make a request for you: a female front bearhug, with the arms under the bearhugger`s grip, of Wonder woman and Titania (she hulk enemy). If you want and can, thanks.
OK. I annotate it as drawing for a future. A female frontal bearhug?. I don't understand... As my Zardor's drawing pressing the abdomen or upside-down, pressing the back?.
Very good!
Looks brilliant ET!

Though guidelines suggest screening starts at 50, researcher says it's premature to change them
by julia70 on Sat Oct 18, 2008 12:00 AM
My mother is a 67-year old who is currently underweight, anaemic and has a history of hypertension. She is recently diagnosed as having ampullary tumour and requires a Whipple surgery in 10 days. I have not been able to obtain any information about how to prepare her for such a difficult surgery and I shall be grateful for any advice on how she may prepare her health for the surgery so that the recovery chances are better. Many thanks in advance.
by RMATT on Wed Jan 07, 2009 12:00 AM
I am a 65 yr. old male that had the Whipple procedure done on Oct. 29, 2008 at Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas. The only real preperation that you can do is find a surgeon that has preformed many of these procedures. I interviewed three surgeons at different facilities (this is also very important, as after care by the nursing staff is critical), before I made my selection. I was in hospital 6 days and then sent home. The first 4 weeks were very difficult in that I was uable to eat that well and was very weak most of the time. Nov. 29, was my two month anniversary and for the most part I am back to work. eat most anything I want and am starting a treadmill and stationary bike workout therapy. So, even though medical surgery cannot ever be considered a guareented outcome, I would say that your choice of a very experienced Whipple surgeon and hospital is very, very important to post surgery outcome. Hope this has helped you.
by julia70 on Sat Jan 24, 2009 12:00 AM
Thank you the message.
The operation was a success. To reduce weight loss, the surgeon put her thru 3 days of PTN feeding pre-op and then 2 weeks of PTN feeding post-op. Throughout the hospital stay, the overall weight loss is about 4 to 5 kg only.

Cornwall Photographic
Today we are looking at the work of Chillbrook and his beautiful images of the Cornwall countryside, hence the name of his blog. The landscape of where he takes photos is very different to the landscapes I see here in Australia.
This is the type of image that I very much associate with Chillbrook. The vast moody landscape of the countryside. I love the colours and how green it is. The dark sky, to me is something that I always think of when I think of England. There is something about the idea that it rains all the time in England.
Every time I see this building in an image, I know that it is one of Chillbrook's images. This building is quite unique and I know, well I am pretty sure, he has photographed this many times and presented it in many different ways.
What do you say to an image like this, but WOW. I love this, I love everything about it. Great shot. The only thing I don't like is that it isn't an image I took.
I am glad that he also takes photos of the boats and the wharfs of Cornwall as well. For people, like me, who have never been there, it seems an important part of that area. He has taken quite a few photos of the fishing boats, I think that is what they are.
I asked Chillbrook for some information about his photograph, what inspires him, how long he has been taking photos, you know the sort of thing and he wrote the following.
"I used to take photographs as a young teenager. My dad bought me a Russian Zenit camera for my 13th birthday. This was the late '70s and a time when if you bought a camera, even the cheaper ones like the Zenit, came in a lovely leather case to protect the camera and lens. I loved it. It was a manual camera, of course, and I quickly got to grips with the holy trinity of exposure and using my Dad's light meter I experimented a fair bit and even developed a few black and white films in the dark room at school but regular teenagerly pursuits took over and I pretty much left photography there.
When I became ill with MS and had to retire from my teaching job, I moved to Cornwall, a place I'd had many happy childhood holidays, and decided I'd like to take up photography again. I bought myself the sort of camera I'd wanted for many years, a Nikon D800 and a superb Nikkor 24-70mm f2.8 lens. I'd remembered the basics but over the last 18 months I've read a great deal, looked at tons of photographs and got to know my camera well and gradually, I'm getting to know Cornwall a little better too.
I take pictures for me but started a blog as a kind of online diary of my photographic journey and through the blog, I was introduced to a large community of very supportive and encouraging people and through them, I have found the confidence to move my photography onto a professional footing. Through my website www.cornwallphotographic.net and a couple of local galleries, I have found a market for my prints and cards and I recently received a commission to produce a book of photographs depicting Cornwall's history and heritage through its landscape and coastline.
I really believe that for a photograph to be successful, the photographer has to connect with the subject in a very real and fundamental way. This connection is very much a part of the creative process. You talk to wildlife photographers and they are passionate about wildlife. Fashion photograhers are passionate about fashion. I'm deeply in love with the Cornish landscape, from the beautiful and sometimes bleak moorland to the rugged coastline and beautiful beaches, the wild weather and the dramatic skies and this passion, I hope, is reflected in the photographs I take."
I am going to put a number of images into a gallery now for you to look at, but there a lot more images on his blog Cornwall Photographic so I encourage you to go and take a look, and say hello.
I would like to thank Chillbrook from Cornwall Photographic for giving me permission to show you his work.

Big System, Big Problems
Jackson's turnaround is a big story for a lot of reasons. For one, public safety net hospitals are often poorly reimbursed compared to their competitors, but it's mostly a big story because of how deep in the red the organization was, how it had become a national laughingstock for incompetent management, and simply because of how big it is. The main hospital, Jackson Memorial, has 1,550 licensed beds, and it's only the biggest of six hospitals in the system.
Migoya came aboard as the hospital evaluated a takeover offer from a for-profit suitor. The offer was billed as a billion-dollar effort, but Migoya says it really amounted to assuming Jackson's huge debt and committing to making capital expenditures for several years. No cash.
"It was essentially takeover payments, like they say in the car industry," he says.
Migoya convinced the board to let him and his team try to crack the problem before making any rash decisions such as selling out.
"When I got here, there was little accountability, and little control over what was going on," he says. "Frankly, sad to say, very few department managers knew their budgets, much less where they stood against them."
Thankfully, the level of clinical care quality was high, he says, freeing him up to make administrative moves that he was confident would turn the financial tide. Migoya put together a leadership team made up of individuals who were used to accountability and put them to work overhauling the rest of the senior administrative staff. He says hiring the right chief operating officer and chief strategy officer were his best decisions.

As a guitarist, there's pressure to be unique; to be clearly different and distinguishable from those around us.
Even aside from just being able to play, there's an expectation of uniqueness and creativity that drives guitar players to try to come up with different and interesting ways to present their music.
That drive can often result in an overreaching of sorts, where we come up with bizarre sounding chord progressions that give more of the impression that we've spent our time just trying to come up with something new, while forsaking the responsibility to create something musical and emotionally appealing.
It's Easier Than That
When this happens, we become extremely inefficient in our songwriting, putting effort into what we think is making our music more acceptable while we're really just making it harder to listen to.
Responsibilities of a Chord Progression
The fact is it's not nearly that difficult or complicated. Our chord progressions in particular, have a short, simple list of responsibilities:
- A chord progression should provide a framework for the more decorative segments of the song: A good chord progression will take a back seat, and provide a foundation on which to build the "bells and whistles" of the rest of the song, which is usually lead guitar, a keyboard or synthesizer.
- A chord progression should drive a song forward rhythmically: The drive of the song is set by percussion, but a chord progression and strumming pattern should follow suit, and compliment that drive.
- A chord progression should invoke an emotional movement and response: The changing of one chord to another should have an emotional purpose and should create a sound environment that invokes a thoughtful response from the listener.
A chord progression doesn't have to be complex to accomplish these three tasks, in fact, a simpler progression is probably better equipped for the job.
Chord Progressions are Constantly Reused
Musicians reuse chord progressions constantly, so don't worry if you're using something familiar like, G-C-D or E-A-B. The lyrics and rhythm that it's presented in will make it unique.
Example from A Perfect Circle
A glowing example of this is the remix of "The Outsider" by A Perfect Circle. This song has an incredible amount of drive to it, but at the same time keeps to a deceptively simple chord progression.
The first half of the song breaks down like this (guitar is tuned down 1/2 step):
For the first 1:07 — Chord Progression: D
After 1:07 — Chord Progression: D – C – Bb
If you're interested, here's my rendition of the guitar track.
The progression here is extremely simple, as you're only dealing with three different chords. Those three chords create the platform for a heavy, driving song that definitely invokes emotion, without leaving us wanting or needing anything greater in complexity.
Consider that the higher-pitched lead part would not have the same kind of effectiveness, were it not for the simplicity of the chord progression.
Other Examples
Look up the chords for some of the more successful guitar driven songs and you'll almost always find a simple and straightforward chord progression.
Here are a few others:
- Folsom Prison Blues by Johnny Cash: E-A-B
- Voodoo Child by Jimi Hendrix: E7-B7-A7-C
- Faith by George Micheal: B-E
Sometimes the 7th chords can be a little tricky, so check out this 7th chord lesson if you need some help with them.
Keep It Simple
As you write your own music and develop as a guitar player, keep your chord progressions simple yet effective.
While there's certainly a time and place for complex chord movement, don't get caught up in creating that movement in order to come up with a great and unique song.
It's not at all necessary.
Save the variety and complexity for lead play and sound effects that are added in later. The bones of the song don't have to be nearly as dynamic.

Product smells and tastes good, but I failed to see any objective improvements for my rhinitis and pharyngitis. I had a slight healthy feel most times right after taking it in morning, but this may have been placebo as well
Used against continuous infections
Posted by 5461478078389654009 on Jan 08, 2015
Not sure which helped more lysine or colloidal silver, or the combination; but the circle of infections was broken with these products. Tastes quite sweet so I mixed the recommended amount to a half a cup of water in the mornings.

Well, my friends, the verdict is in. And it appears that Jerry Sandusky – the longtime Penn State assistant football coach – is going to jail for a long, long time.
Sandusky was found guilty of 45 of 48 counts against him. One of his six adopted children has also said he was abused, but he was not called to testify.
Just as shocking as the graphic details of the attacks for many Americans was the reported cover-up. The scandal has prompted comparisons with attempts by the Roman Catholic church in the US to protect paedophile priests.
The scandal ended the careers of Joe Paterno, the legendary head coach at Penn State, and Graham Spanier, the university president.
Defense lawyers, according to CBS News, say they will appeal the convictions.
The guilty counts included eight of the most serious charges, involuntary deviate sexual intercourse, with each count carrying a maximum of 20 years in prison, nine counts of unlawful contact with minors, also carrying a 20-year maximum for each count, and 10 counts of endangering the welfare of a child," with a seven year maximum term for each count attached.
Sandusky was found guilty on all six counts related to victim number one, now 18, who broke down on the stand as he testified to being repeatedly sodomized by Sandusky beginning at age 13.
Another emotional accuser, victim number four, says he suffered years of sustained abuse, and found solace in five guilty counts.
Lead defense attorney Joe Amendola said, "I believe the jury acted genuinely and in good faith."
He said, in the end, a mountain of Commonwealth evidence was too much to climb.
"We were in an uphill battle, attempting to climb Mt. Everest from the bottom of the mount," he said. "Obviously, we didn't make it."
Moments after the verdicts were read, Sandusky's bond was revoked and he was immediately remanded to jail.
As he was escorted from court, he took one final glance to his right, to his wife of 45 years. Dottie Sandusky and her family hugged and broke down in tears.
Amendola told CBS News an appeal is planned but, barring a reversal of the convictions, the Sandusky will spend the rest of his life in prison.

moreIn the 1990s Jordon Belfort became one of the most infamous names in American finance: a brilliant, conniving stock-chopper. He was the 'Wolf of Wall Street', whose life of greed, power and excess was so outrageous it could only be true no one could make this up! But the day Jordan was arrested and taken away in handcuffs was not the end of the madness. CATCHING THE WOLF OF WALL STREET tells of what happened next. After getting out of jail on $10 million bail he had to choose whether to plead guilty and act as a government witness or fight the charges and see his wife charged as well. He cooperated. With his trademark brash, brazen and thoroughly unputdownable storytelling, Jordan details more incredible true tales of fortunes made and lost, money-making schemes, parties, sex, drugs, marriage, divorce and prison. less

Located on the western edge of Shibuya, Daikanyama is a very trendy, popular neighborhood. Walking through Daikanyama can feel a bit... more » like walking through a maze, with windy streets filled with unique clothing boutiques, hip people in casual, yet fashionably disheveled clothing, open-air cafes and many international restaurants.
Slower-paced and quieter than neighboring Shibuya and yet still modern enough to keep the "old Tokyo" sightseers away, Daikanyama is popular both for its shopping and for being "livable," and is in large part also a residential neighborhood. While the crowd here is a bit older than the teens in nearby Shibuya, it is every bit as fashion-conscious and uniquely Japanese in fashion-sense. There are high-end boutiques as well as vintage clothing boutiques, and the people mulling through tend to be more artistic than you might find in the more business-minded districts of Tokyo, such as Shinjuku.
This guide will take you through some of the notable clothing shops and restaurants of the neighborhood, and also allow for a walk through the pleasant alleyways that are filled with many shops for you to explore. This is a good place to spend a more laid-back afternoon with your travel partners, but a place which still allows for plenty of that Tokyo shopping.
The walking route takes you to Caffe Michelangelo third, but if you arrive hungry you can go straight there and visit Hillside Terrace, point number two, next. less «

Matthew Thomas, a five-star prep linebacker who committed to USC then signed with Florida State, now again prefers to play for the Trojans, according to his father.
Thomas, a Miami native, created a stir last month when he announced that he would not attend Florida State in the fall, and that he would instead choose either Georgia or USC.
Thomas' father, Billy, told ESPN on Monday that his son ''made a decision for himself. It's USC.'' The same report, though, indicated that Thomas has not yet made his intentions clear to Florida State.
If Florida State does not release Thomas from his scholarship -- it has indicated it will not -- Thomas would have to sit out the 2013 season and lose a year of eligibility. It's the same situation faced by defensive lineman Eddie Vanderdoes, who recently announced his intention to attend UCLA instead of Notre Dame.
By all accounts, Thomas' situation remains fluid, particularly since he has not announced his intentions. There appears to be some intra-family conflict, with Thomas' mother preferring him to stay close to home.
Thomas is a 6-foot-4, 210-pound linebacker who is considered an impact player.

The resort's 416 rooms and 54 luxury suites blend the creative and the elemental with authentic Thai accents against a soothing tropical setting. Style coupled with superb amenities allows for a stay of limitless exploration and renewal.
I would not recommened this hotel to anybody. The service was horrible and when we addressed our problems to the manager he was unapologetic and did not seem to to care. The service in the bar was ridiculous, had to wait for than 30 minutes for a drink. The rooms were not in that great a shape although we were told some were under renovation.
From the time we arrived at the desk, we were treated like royalty by the staff. The welcome lai and drink set the mood for an experience not to be forgotten. The staff arranged transport and bookings for outings,breakfast was superb, room service was good and the pool is always being cleaned. Taxi's or 'limousines' are available quickly to ferry you to the major attractions on offer. A good idea is to book a limousine for the day (cost about $*) and the driver will take you any where you want. The 'Fanta Sea' show should not be missed. A great experience.

Since our last update, Noah has been pretty busy. After his therapy sessions last week, Noah had two days off at home and needed the relaxation and quiet time.
Noah and I then had a busy weekend. We sat at a booth in Durand during the 4th festivities all day on Saturday and then participated in the parade on Sunday. It was great to see Noah all smiles during the parade riding high in the Pirsch Fire Truck!!!
Noah then had therapy this week. He did great pushing himself in PT and getting good range of motion and learning new exercises to get his leg ready for a prosthetic. Noah also is doing well in Speech, practicing his cognitive skills and complex thinking. He is also getting ready to work hard on his paramedic stuff again! Noah also started OT this week with an evaluation and will continue with one handed exercises for now and then will continue therapy after he gets his arm. So great to see him continue to progress at therapy and continuously at home. He is becoming more and more independent each day!
Noah also went to see his prosthesist this week and got cast for his leg. Very exciting time for him to know that soon he will have his prosthetic and will be working on walking!
Later this week, Noah will continue therapy, visit his orthopedic surgeon, get excited for his leg to come, and try and relax and get ready for super busy weekends to come!
Thank you all for continuing to follow Noah's story. Thank you for the positive thoughts, support, love and prayers!

Rensselaer County Deputy Sandy Blodgett and K-9 Kilo were recognized by the US Postal Inspection Service for assistance provided to the postal service in combating the distribution of controlled substances through the mail.
Deputy Blodgett and Kilo are responsible for seizing hundreds of parcels from the US mail containing controlled substances and proceeds of unlawful criminal activity.
James V. Buthorn Acting Inspector in Charge of the Boston Division commended Deputy Blodgett for her willingness to respond whenever requested and further stated that the assistance she provided not only has decreased the amount of controlled substances traveling through the US mail but has led to some notable cases including an investigation where numerous arrests were made, multiple firearms and millions of dollars in steroids were seized.

Troy, NY – September 8, 2015 – Sheriff Jack Mahar today accepted an award from the New York State Sheriff's Association in recognition that the Rensselaer County Sheriff's Office has achieved Accreditation for the Correctional Facility. Sheriff Jack Mahar has stated that this achievement is the result of efforts by the Chief of Corrections, the accreditation team, and all correctional staff and support staff that work hard each and every day to insure that our community is safe and secure from those deemed a danger to be in our community.
Accreditation is a system in which an agency demonstrates its ability to meet New York State standards of excellence. The benefits of the accreditation program show that the Sheriff's Office has established greater accountability within the agency thus reducing the agencies liability exposure as well as gives the agency a strong defense against civil lawsuits. Other government officials are more confident in the Sheriff's Office which in turn provides more community accountability. It shows that the Sheriff's Office has a proactive management philosophy and pride within the organization.
Sheriff Mahar stated he is extremely proud of the employees of the Rensselaer County Correctional Facility for their achievement. He stated that this award does not come easily and it verifies his belief that the Rensselaer County Jail is one of the safest, most efficient, and one of the best in the State. The fact that the Sheriff's Office achieved 100% compliance verifies that the facility is among the very best and with such a strong dedicated work force he states this will be for a very long time.
"Achieving accreditation takes hard work by a lot of people. Sheriff Mahar, Undersheriff Patrick Russo, Chief of Corrections Edward Bly, and the entire staff of the Corrections Division deserve to be recognized for this achievement," said NYS Sheriffs' Association Executive Director Peter Kehoe.
The following individuals who spearheaded the effort to earn the accreditations were recognized at the ceremony: Chief of Corrections Edward Bly, Accreditation Manager Greg Buell, Lieutenant Stacey Sauer, and Nurse Administrator Heather Holliday.
Parents and caregivers received one to one installation guidance and safety education from certified child passenger safety technicians.
Event was sponsored by the Rensselaer County Law Enforcement Association, The Rensselaer County Sheriff's Office and The NY Sate Police.
Inspections took place at the Center Brunswick Fire House on Monday August 3rd.

Murphy at The Zone Five Regional Law Enforcement Training Academy, Session 58-Basic Course for Police Officers award ceremony held at Schenectady Community College. Deputy Seney was presented additional awards for class leader, arrest techniques, and physical fitness.
The Zone Five Regional Law Enforcement Training Academy provides high quality and innovative basic, supervisory and specialized training to law enforcement officers in the greater Capital Region.
K-9 Emergency Medical Course For Law Enforcement "How To Care For Your Canine Partner"
Troy- Rensselaer County Sheriff's Office hosted a Canine First Aid and Trauma Training class Friday that attracted K9 Handlers from seven different law enforcement agencies across the Capital Region. The class was specifically designed for professional "working dog" handlers and emergency rescue personnel who may respond to canine health emergencies while in the field.
Veterinarian David Stone, of Bloomingrove Veterinary Hospital, in North Greenbush NY volunteered his professional expertise. The 4 hour presentation focused on teaching handlers the skills needed when service dogs are injured in the line of duty.
Dr. Stone demonstrated how to splint legs and bandage "wounds" on Officer Sandy Blodgett's K-9, a black lab named Obie. The doctor performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), the life-saving procedure used to help dogs that have stopped breathing and/or lost a heart beat on a canine CPR training manikin. He explained that the CPR performed on dogs is very similar to the procedure used on humans: the technique involves clearing the airway, administering artificial breaths, and maintaining circulation of blood to the heart. Dr. Stone also taught handlers how to administer life saving medications, such as Narcan, the reversal drug used if a dog on duty accidentally inhales an opioid.
The seminar also covered non emergency topics.
Dr. Stone covered best practices in maintaining overall good canine health including nutrition, diet and exercise. The course stressed the importance of annual medical check-ups and how to recognizing illnesses and the warning signs for diseases. Lyme, which is a tick born disease and Bloat, a deadly gastric dilatation where the stomach becomes distended with gas and fluids are more common diseases found amongst dogs today.
This training program was developed to provide K-9 handlers with the know how to handle emergency medical care for sick or injured dogs. Officers in attendance came from the Sheriff's Offices of Rensselaer, Schenectady, Saratoga, Washington, Fulton Counties as well as the Guilderland Police Department. Participants were all honored and grateful to have Dr. Stone provide such valuable information and training.
Hudson Valley Community College Student Is Awarded
New York State Sheriff's Association Institute, Inc. Criminal Justice Scholarship Rensselaer County Undersheriff Pat Russo presented Matt Hopper, a criminal justice major at Hudson Valley Community College, the New York State Sheriff's Association (NYSSA) Institute's 2015 Criminal Justice Scholarship.
Every year NYSSA awards academically outstanding full-time students majoring in criminal justice or police science a $250 scholarship while attending a community college in New York State.
"I want to thank NYSSA for supporting these students and HVCC for the opportunity to meet Matt Hopper," said Undersheriff Pat Russo.

This post is drawn from an essay in the March, 2012 edition of Wisconsin Interest.
One hundred years ago, a progressive populist barnstormed the country, delivering fiery speeches and railing against the gold standard. Today another progressive populist barnstorms the country, delivering fiery speeches and railing against academic standards. Meet Alfie Kohn, the William Jennings Bryan of our age.
Like most demagogues, Kohn knows how to tap into his audience's raw emotions—anger, feelings of powerlessness, and resentment of a ruling elite. In his case, he puts voice to what many educators already believe: That school reform is a corporate plot to turn young people into docile employees; that an obsession with standardized testing is crowding out any real intellectual engagement in our schools; and that teachers have no say over what happens inside their own classrooms.
These arguments are half-crazy and half-true, which is what makes Kohn so effective—and so maddening.
Where Kohn gets it right is in his observation that many American schools are "mindless, soul-killing" institutions, especially the schools serving our most disadvantaged communities. While this...
Paul Gross penned an editorial in yesterday's Gadfly Weekly on the neglect of evolution in many state standards that's definitely worth a read. While Dr. Gross notes that science standards are falling short in general,
Despite pressures to upgrade the teaching and learning of "STEM" subjects (science, technology, engineering, mathematics), state standards for science, although often revised, remain, on average, mediocre—undemanding, lacking crucial science content, and chockablock with pedagogical and sociological irrelevancies. That's the conclusion of Fordham's most recent review of state science standards to which I contributed. To be sure, there are outliers: A handful of states have done justice to the importance and economic urgency of real science, to the needs of teachers as well as students. But a dreary low-C average for fifty states reveals their continuing failure to deal satisfactorily with standards for K-12 science.
There are, of course, multiple reasons for the low marks. Among these, the saddest and least justifiable is what the authors call "Undermining Evolution."
Evolution science (grown over 150 years far beyond geology and biology) is by no means the whole of natural science. But it...
Mike and the Heritage Foundation's Lindsey Burke step outside to debate the place of climate science in standards and whether John Kline's ESEA proposals stand a chance, while Amber looks at the relative merits of a four-day school week.
Does Shortening the School Week Impact Student Performance? Evidence from the Four-Day School Week - Download the PDF
Several weeks back, Education First—a national education-policy and strategic-consulting firm—released the first of three reports intended to guide states through the challenges of implementing the Common Core. It focused exclusively on the existence of state implementation plans. Now the second report is out, co-penned by Education First and Achieve, and offering a useful if imperfect rubric and self-assessment tool to help states measure the quality of those plans. (The final installment will report on state progress towards meeting the benchmarks identified in this rubric.) The rubric describes the elements of "exemplary," "strong," "emerging," and "inadequate" plans for state-level standards implementation in a number of realms. Among the most useful elements is an outline of "key instructional shifts" that ELA and math teachers will face as they begin to move instruction to the Common Core (which defines the differences between the CCSS and current state standards better than most of the current "crosswalk comparisons" available from states). And in the teacher-evaluation section, the authors make the important link between targeted professional-development activities and holding educators accountable for CCSS-aligned outcomes. All valuable. But not perfect. For example, the rubric specifically demands that states develop their own curriculum frameworks modeled after...
Mike and Janie make the case for keeping the Education Gadfly Show going with witty analysis of Common Core critics, student discipline follies, and the GOP's education conundrum. Amber delves into teacher dissatisfaction and Chris asks "What's up with that?" one last time.

Teacher's health insurance policy includes free plastic surgery.
Writing last about the "war against the Common Core," I suggested that those English language arts and math standards arrived with four main assets. (In case you're disinclined to look, they boil down to rigor, voluntariness, portability, and comparability.)
Let me now revisit a fifth potential asset, which is also the main reason that small-government conservatives should favor the Common Core or other high-quality "national standards": This is the best path toward getting Uncle Sam and heavy-handed state governments to back off from micro-managing how schools are run and to return that authority to communities, individual schools, teachers, and parents.
It's the path to getting "tight-loose" right in American K-12 education, unlike NCLB, which has it backward. (I refer to the well-known management doctrine...
Several weeks ago, Education First—a national education policy and strategic consulting firm—released the first in what will be a series of three reports aimed at providing guidance to states as they work to develop Common Core implementation plans. Yesterday, Education First and Achieve together released the second report, a "Common Core State Standards Implementation Rubric and Self-Assessment Tool." While imperfect, this rubric is a useful tool that can help push states thinking about standards implementation.
Among the most useful elements of the report is Table 1, which outlines the "key instructional shifts" that ELA and math teachers will face as they begin to shift instruction to the Common Core. Drawn from advice produced by Student Achievement Partners, the guidance is simple, but more clearly outlines the essential differences between the Common Core and most existing state standards than most of the "crosswalk" comparisons that state Departments of Education have undertaken to date. On the ELA side, for instance, the authors explain that the CCSS will focus on:
The only issue more worrisome than the agonizingly slow improvement in the math achievement of American students is what to do about it. Abandoned solutions to this decades-old challenge litter the educational roadmap like so many wrecks. Remember "New Math" in the 1960s?
The experts aren't necessarily running short of ideas, but, like many experiments for improving education, new schemes often work best in small, intensive classroom situations then fall apart when they leave the hothouse for larger-scale application.
The latest idea gaining traction is using computer video games to teach mathematics. Educational technology companies are pushing specially developed games. But popular and big-name gaming staples like "World of Warcraft" may be effective research templates for teaching math concepts to elementary and secondary students. For the ignorant, like me, this hugely popular computer video game is played online and involves many players at once, with each player controlling a character that explores the landscape, fights monsters, completes quests, and interacts with other players. Some teachers have been experimenting with the game in math classes for the last four or five years and there...

JUNEAU -- Embattled Rep. Lindsey Holmes, R-Anchorage, won't be running for re-election in November.
Holmes, who was facing a tough campaign and a long-shot recall effort after she switched from the Democratic Party last year, told Alaska Public Radio Network and political blogger Amanda Coyne on Friday that she simply wanted to spend more time at home and with her family and friends.
She did not respond to a request for comment Friday afternoon but her chief of staff confirmed that Holmes would not be running for re-election.
Holmes already had a declared Democratic opponent for her West Anchorage seat, former Anchorage Assemblyman Matt Claman.
Rep. Craig Johnson, R-Anchorage, said that he had expected Holmes' re-election fight to be one of the toughest in the state. But he added Republicans would probably be able to draft someone to take her place.
"I certainly will take an active role. I think you'll see a good candidate come out of there," he said. "There are a lot of good people that live there."
Johnson declined to name potential candidates.
Wigi Tozzi, who led the group trying to recall Holmes, said that he was looking forward to the campaign for Holmes' seat.
"Now it's going to be about the issues -- what (candidates') vision of West Anchorage should be, what Alaska should be," he said. "Not about the politics."
Tozzi's group late last year had appealed a decision by the state to reject the recall application. Coincidentally, Tozzi said that the judge in the case had rejected the appeal on Friday.
It's unlikely the recall group will appeal to the Supreme Court; Tozzi said the only reason for doing so would be to press the case that the state's recall laws are unconstitutional -- if the court would even accept the case.
"It would be nice if we were on the record with the Supreme Court saying we in fact have grounds for recall," he said. "But the bottom line is, Rep. Holmes is not running again."

Description: Body shape similar to Neon tetra. Has a lateral line resembling the black tetras (bright blue/green) . Distinct red color on the entire dorsal, tail, and anal fins. Color on dorsal and tail very bright red, more faded on anal fin. Slight blue tinge on tips of tail and dorsal fin. Black spot at base of tail.
Any suggestions regarding the Genus, species, or common name are appreciated!
Update: also has a black line just under the blue/green lateral line of color. Hint of blue iridescence on head over the eyes. These are young fish, only about 3-4 weeks old.

Trying to narrow it down. Does it resemble any of these:
Hyphessobrycon anisitsi
Hemigrammus hyanuary.
Hyphessobrycon loretoensis
If it does (but is not one of those), it will hopefully point me to others not in the profiles. These two genera are catch-all for a couple hundred species, and many have been discovered only recently.
Going through my own photos, here's another that somewhat matches your description, Hyphessobrycon nigricintus that was described by Gery and Zarske in 2004 and apparently is being imported.
Hyphessobrycon anisitsi - the lateral line on mine is much brighter on mine, and the anal fin doesn't seem to extend into the tailfin, but the body shape is about right. Also the black lateral line under the "neon" line is very distinct on my fish, but not large, it's "vertically thin".
Hemigrammus hyanuary - could be, but the red fins are very distinctive on mine and the black tail spot is much smaller proportionally
Hyphessobrycon loretoensis - closer, but the black line is much smaller than the green "neon" lateral line on my fish.
After looking around some more, it very closely resembles a white cloud minnow in coloration, but is brighter than any I've ever seen locally! Black tailspot is exact, as is fin coloration, except mine have some faded red on the anal fins. Might just be some really nice white clouds?
There are two other species newly discovered in the genus Tanichthys, these are mentioned in the profile of Tanichthys albonubes. If you do a Google search you will find many photos, have a look.
You didn't mention an adipose fin, this would help narrow it down. An adipose fin would indicate a characin, probably (some do not posess one) but certainly not a cyprinid which is what the Tanichthys species are.
If there is no adipose, I would doubt it is a "tetra," as most (but certainly not all) have one. But there are other characins. Many pencilfish do not, and off the top of my head I can't think of a Nannostomus species that meets your description, but you might want to check those photos through a Google search as there are several species not in our profiles since they are very rare. Then there are the closely related pyrrhulina in the Copella, Copeina and Pyrrhulina genera. Many use the generic term "tetra" for all these.
I assume the other white cloud species were not close?
Some of the white clouds were close. Never having had either tetras or white clouds before, plus the miss-direction initially, I wasn't certain. It does most closely resemble the White clouds. The tail spot matches exactly as does overall body conformation. Colors are a little off what I see on the white cloud pictures, but everything else matches. I'll try to borrow a better camera and get a picture posted.
Pictures, finally

Why do guys watch porn when they have a gf? And why does it upset gf? :O
See, I wouldn't mind if my boyfriend was watching porn WITH me, as we've been talking about doing it to see if we like it (spice up the sex life), we just haven't got around to doing it. But I went away last weekend and yesterday he confessed to have watched lesbian hardcore porn and masturbated which for some reason really upset me.
Just to be clear, I want to say that I'm not some religious prude who thinks porn=rape, no no no, I couldn't care less if Jesus watched porn or not and if everyone's legal and makes their own decisions, fine!
What upset me was that he watched two naked girls to get hard and jerk off when I was away for 4 days. I thought I would be cool with it if he watched porn but it really really feels like he don't find me as attractive as these girls and that he has "cheated" in a way. If he was watching porn when I was home so I could join in that would be one thing, and if he wants to masturbate to relive the pressure when I'm away that's fine too but if he needs something to arouse him, why not watch pics of me? Or skype me?
When I told him how I felt and asked him about it he just said he "didn't know" why he did it, he's "just stupid", didn't look at me, said "Sorry, I wont do it again" and left the apartment, while I was sitting here crying because he rather watch some other girls when he says I'm the most beautiful girl in the world. Maybe my emotions doesn't make sense but this is how I'm feeling. Is that so weird?
And why does guys watch porn when they have "the real deal"?
And is it really ok to watch other naked girls just because they're on film not irl? No-one would think it was weird if I was upset if he'd brought home a naked girl while I was away right?
AND why did he just leave without looking at me instead of hugging me and saying sorry I didn't mean to hurt you? Mumbling sorry while looking away like a little boy that's been told to say sorry but don't really mean it doesn't really count...

You chastised him for behaving as the majority of males would do if they had no sexual outlet for 4 days. This is the behavior of a mother, which is why he muttered a meaningless apology. Don't ask him to apologize for behavior he isn't really sorry for.
If this boy is not making a regular habit out of wanking to porn instead of being with you (and this doesn't sound like your problem), I suggest you ignore it. You will be hard-pressed to find a guy who DOESN'T do that. The thing you both need to be smarter about is that he needs to know when to keep his big mouth shut about it, and you need to learn to not grill him about it.Relax... I'll need some information first. Just the basic facts - can you show me where it hurts?
I didn't ask him to apologize, I told him how I felt, how he responds to my feelings is up to him. But I see your point.
What I'm kind of wondering though is;
You masturbate because you get horny right? But you watch porn to get horny, so if you're not horny in the first place, then what's the point? If he needs to let out steam cause I'm away, just f*cking wank! Or do guys don't have any imagination? And why not look at nude pics of me in bed, why on earth did we take those pics then?
I would not watch and fantasize about random naked guys when he's away, and believe me, I have as much of a sex drive as he does and needs to let of steam. But I don't see the point of watching an other guy when I love my boyfriend and think he's the most handsome man alive, why watch some sloppy second when I have lots of pics and memories of the best?
Don't make him feel bad for that. Guys like their private time. You have no idea what it's like for a guy, their sex drive is through the roof, and need release. For some guys it's like a few times a day on average. Guys like variety, it's just they way they are. They do like looking at other women, and fantasize about sex, etc, but there is no emotional attachment like the way women do with sex....there's the difference. Porn is just entertainment and in no way a replacement of you, or how he feels about you. Watching porn just makes the experience more intense. I talked to one of the guys at work about it and he says it's too hard using his imagination when in the shower, he prefers visual aids, and well guys are very visual creatures aren't they? lol.My advice or chat is always free. Find me on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/smackie9loveadvisor?fref=ts
I would really only start worrying if he prefers porn to you when you are available to him.Relax... I'll need some information first. Just the basic facts - can you show me where it hurts?

You got jealous. But the question is why? Are you insecure about something? You know he will never get the chance to watch 2 live women have sex, right? So what's the big deal?
Guys watch porn for many reasons.
- They're horny.
- They want to experience something new and exciting but they would never have the chance to do it in real life.
- They want to experience something new and exciting but they are not ready to do it in real life.
- They are curious about something new.
- They simply like seeing beautiful girls/guys.
- They are not getting something they want at home.
- Some guys like variety, but don't really want another girlfriend. It doesn't mean they don't care about you.
My gf really satisfies me, she is perfect for me. But I still watch porn sometimes. Why? Though most of it has poor production quality, some of it is really beautiful. Like art. Do a search for X-art, this is NOT typical hump'n'grind porn.
So, ask him if he will watch lesbian porn with you. Make it a positive instead of blaming him or being jealous. Jealousy is a real deal-killer, you have to work on that. If you need him to reassure you (that's normal, to a point), then ask him to. Me and my gf have had our "doubtful" moments, and we told each other right away, and we reassured each other right away. It's part of being human and having emotions. And sometimes old relationships leave scars we have to deal with.
Honestly, my gf had her doubts once because I'm a stable, sane person, and her past relationships were full of drama! Her and I were not full of drama so her brain thought (wrongly) that something was amiss.

Thanks everyone! Very interesting with different views on things.
My bf came home after I posted my comment so we kissed and made up. Sexy underwear is very good to let him know what he has So all in all think we were both happy in the end.
The jealousy part is baggage I guess, but as someone said, "Get rid of it, you pack your own bag!" But as for bulrush's gf, if you're used to drama or getting screwed over it's hard not to get insecure sometimes when you end up with someone good, just cause you're not used to having someone treating you good so you wait for the bad to happen. Time is all we need, trust is built up stronger and stronger and we get crazy-moments less... Think I might sound like more of a drama queen than I am though, one little issue out of a whole life All relationships has their issues and ups and downs, but so far we resolve everything quite quickly. Sometimes you need to hear other sides of it too, even though I don't think guys can be thaat much different when it comes to sex anyway... Sometimes I want a bit more, sometimes he wants a bit more but mostly we're quite equal.
Btw, heard that women have their peek in their 50's, something to look forward to!

I'm glad you two made up. I hope you made love, because it really helps to cement the relationship back together.

He jerked off to two women together, that's not even something you could provide (not competing with you), more of a fantasy, relax.
Me and pron:
-A dedicated pron computer sits in my bedroom (so it doesn't mess up my living room computer and no one walks in on me).
-2-3 times a day I cum, never choose porn over my GF (we see each other about 3 days a week).
-I have a fetish for a certain body type, my GF is close to my ideal physically, but not exactly (this is to be expected), pron lets me see [what in my mind is] "perfection" (and every time I jerk off to this I further condition myself to like it even more, not necessarily a good thing).
-GF does not like the idea of me "whacking off to other girls", and claims other BF's jerked off to pics of her, asking me why don't I.
-Rarely ever do I watch movies (sex), most always I fap to still images of women posing.
-I do jerk off thinking about her sometimes, especially if we had some kinky sex the night before.
-Sometimes jerking off to pron can simply be easier than sex, especially if she take a while to orgasm (speaking frankly here, as it may sound selfish) and you get tired.
IMO, your SO is not necessarily going to be your absolute physical ideal (there is more to a relationship than that), so pron is an outlet to see exactly what you like.
Generally speaking, men and women have different views of watching porn and looking at nudes. For women (again generally speaking), sex is an emotional connection. Therefore looking at nudes of men does not interest many women. To men, it is a graphic description of something that arouses us. There is no connection. When a woman's lover looks at porn, the female brain can interpret this as the man having an emotional connection to the image. She can also compare herself to the pictures and think that her man must think that she is not as sexy, beautiful, or desirable.
I am not going to debate the morale issues of porn here. Just realize that it has nothing to do with him not finding you sexy or that he is not aroused by you. I do read posts on here of men that masturbate to porn and do not make love to their girl. This is so totally selfish in my opinion. I choose making love to my gorgeous wife over self-satisfaction every time! I love pleasing her sexually, as she does pleasing me.The marriage bed must be a place of mutualitythe husband seeking to satisfy his wife, the wife seeking to satisfy her husband. Marriage is not a place to "stand up for your rights." Marriage is a decision to serve the other, whether in bed or out. -- 1 Corinthians 7 (The Message)
If it's "selfish" that some men prefer the latter over the former, it sort of means that those men actually physically prefer the latter. Is this normal/common?

Article: Construction and delivery of gene therapy vector containing soluble TNFα receptor-IgGFc fusion gene for the treatment of allergic rhinitis[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Tumor necrosis factor alpha plays primary role in the pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases. TNFalpha is essential for antigen-specific IgE production and for the induction of Th2-type cytokines. The lack of TNFalpha inhibited the development of allergic rhinitis. In this study, the chimeric gene of soluble TNF receptor and IgGFc fragment (sTNFR-IgGFc) was cloned into the EBV-based plasmid pGEG. When the plasmid pGEG.sTNFR-IgGFc was transferred to endothelium cell, a considerable expression of the sTNFR-IgGFc fusion protein was detected. Moreover, the expression product in the supernatant could antagonize the cytolytic activity of TNFalpha on L929 cells. Then the plasmid was delivered into nasal mucosa of allergic rhinitis mice to determine its effect on this animal model. Results showed that symptoms in treated group were improved. Pathological examination showed the numbers of eosinophil, mast cell and IL-5(+) cells in treated groups were reduced compared with placebo group. These data showed that pGEG.sTNFR-IgGFc expression plasmid is potential for the treatment of allergic rhinitis, and suggest that the antagonist of TNFalpha may provide a new approach for the treatment of allergic rhinitis.
Article: Expression of sTNFR-IgGFc Fusion Gene in Endothelial Cell and Its Application in Gene Therapy for Rheumatoid Arthritis[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha) is a pro-inflammatory cytokine, acting as a regulator of inflammation and immunity. TNFalpha plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis. Blocking of TNFa activity suppressed inflammatory tissue damage. In present study, the chimeric gene of soluble TNF receptor and IgG Fc fragment (sTNFR-IgG FC) was cloned into the mammalian cell expression vector pStar. When the plamid pStar/sTNFR-IgGFc-GFP was transfected into endothelial cells, a considerable expression of the sTNFR-IgG Fc fusion protein was detected. Moreover, the product in 100microL expression supernatant could completely antagonize the cytolytic effect of 1ng TNFa on L929 cells, even at 1/64 dilution. Then the plasmid was delivered into CIA-induced rheumatoid arthritis mice by tail vein injection. The expression of sTNFR-IgG Fc was detected in liver by RT-PCR. Animals in treatment group showed reduced symptoms of arthritis and more active. This treatment induced decrease of synovial incrassation and prevented the cartilage destruction of the mice RA model. These results show that tail vein injection is an effective way for gene therapy and sTNFR-IgGFc expression plasmid is potential for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.
Article: [Screening for new binding proteins which interact with BM2 of influenza B virus with yeast two-hybrid system].[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To explore the role of BM2 protein in the life cycle of influenza B virus. The authors screened human kidney MATCHMAKER cDNA library for new binding partners of BM2 of influenza B virus by using the yeast two hybrid system with truncated BM2 (26-109 aa) as the bait. Six positive plasmids encoding N-acetylneuraminate pyruvate lyase, angiopoietin 3, zinc finger protein 251, ribosomal protein S20, protein arginine N-methyltransferase 1 variant 1 (PRMT) and transcription factor-like 1 (TCFL1) were obtained. The results suggest that BM2 may play an important role in the life cycle of influenza B virus.

ABSTRACT: The nonviral gene delivery systems are usually not very effective in transferring gene into target cells, and the intensity and duration of the gene expression is very poor. The EBNA1/oriP maintain EBNA1/oriP-based plasmids as episome, contribute to nuclear transport of the plasmid and transcriptional up-regulation of target gene. The EBNA1/oriP based plasmid enhances the transfection rate as well as magnitude and longevity of gene expression. This article reviews recent preclinical gene therapy studies with the EBV plasmid vectors conducted against various diseases. For gene therapy against malignancies, the EBNA1/ oriP based plasmid encoding the HSV1-TK suicide gene was combined with a cationic polymer to transfer into HCC cell line. The expression level of TK gene was 100- to 1000-fold higher than the conventional plasmid. The sensitivity of HCC to ganciclovir (GCV) elevated several hundred-fold. The EBNA1/oriP based plasmid equipped with tumor specific promoter, such as CEA promoter, enabled targeted killing of CEA-positive tumor cell. Transfection of EBNA1/oriP based plasmid carrying IL-12 and IL-18 gene either locally, or systemically, induced therapeufic antitumor immune responses including augmentation of the cytotoxic T lymphocyte and natural killer activities and growth retardation of tumors. For gene therapy of congenital diseases and chronic diseases, the EBNA1/oriP based plasmid encoding the adenosine deaminase gene was transfered into human hematopoietic progenitor cells. The ADA activity was elevated 1.5-to 2-fold. Intracardiomuscrlar transfer of the EBNA1/oriP based plasmid encoding the beta-AR gene may be useful for the treatment of severe heart failure. Human tumor necrosis factoralpha (hTNFalpha) is one of the most important inflammatory cytokines. It has been implicated in many autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. sTNFR can efficiently neutralize the bioactivities of hTNFalpha. In primary study we cloned the chimeric protein sTNFR II-IgG Fc and expect to use it in the gene therapy of the inflammatory disease relative to TNF. In summary, The EBNA1/oriP based plasmid shows advantage in gene therapy of cancer, congenital and inflammatory diseases. Moreover, the EBNA1/oriP element may greatly contribute to the engineering of a human artificial chromosome, the ultimate device for controllable gene therapy.

A shot taken at Mount Pleasant Cemetery in Toronto
Great, nice point of view
How lovely.
Awesome Composition
Excellent composition!
I like the focus on this!
I love
I rarely, rarely comment on photos I view on Deviant. However, this one is simply gorgeous. The textures and the colors keep me glued to it. Very nice.
this is stunning! great work!
PS I'm this 1,111 viewed for this image. xP
I say, I love the color in this photo! I also love the angle in which you took it!
i want this in my tomb
God that's gorgeous! Everything from the detailing on the cross to the foliage above is just perfect. I love Celtic crosses and autumn days! ^_^ *faves*
Great shot. I like the angle, definitely makes the picture interesting. The leaves behind the cross are a great contrast, makes the cross stand out even more.
beautiful...stone vs. wood .... man vs. God
Nice shot!
great contrast between the colour of the leaves and the stone cross. nice angle too.
STUNNING IMAGE - Well Done
If you want some amazing celtic crosses and wonderfull gravestones, head a little north of there, past Eglinon to Erskine and head east to Mount Hpoe Cemetery. Smaller than Mt. Pleasant, but very ornate and funky.
I just love the colours. They look so... unreal.
I was amazed by the colors as well- Falls are great- so much better than summer but it's so brief. As am typing this the wind's blowing the leaves to the ground.
I agree the perspective on this is amazing. How did you find yourself in a cementary though?
It's a great place to go on a Sunday- away from the madding crowd (ironically it's smacked right in the middle of Toronto, as you probably know).
wow.. I really like the angle and the detail in the stone.. AND the leaves! very nice..
