Many students get confused in marking their preferences in filling the UGC form to enter into a national university in Sri Lanka. This provides some advice based on a document issued to students by popular A/L Combined Mathematics Teacher Mr. Praja Renuka.
In the UGC form, you have to select the course preference order and preferred universities for each course. If you have a good Z-score then you can enter Engineering Faculty, else you have to select other physical science courses.
Engineering Courses –
Engineering courses are offered by following Universities:
• University ofPeradeniya
• University of Jaffna
• University ofRuhuna
• UniversityofMoratuwa
• South Eastern University of Sri Lanka
• University of Sri Jayewardenepura
For example if a student wishes to apply for Engineering he should mark preferences as follows.
Course Code – University Code
08 (Engineering) – G (Moratuwa) B (Peradeniya) F (Ruhuna)
The same course may be available in different universities. You need a higher Z-score to enter most demanding university, and other universities require comparatively low Z-score. Therefore you should first mark reputed or well established universities. Moratuwa is considered to be the best university for Engineering studies in Sri Lanka.
If a student does not poses a adequate Z-Score for Engineering and wants to follow Quantity Surveying still he should mark Engineering as his first preference. The logic is if by chance a vacancy created he will be enrolled for the first preferred courses. Eg:
Course Code – University Code
08 (Engineering) – G(Moratuwa) B(Peradeniya) F(Ruhuna)
11 (Qty Surveying)* – G(Moratuwa)**
* This course requires at least Credit passes for English, Mathematics and Science in O/L
** This course only available at Moratuwa University in Sri Lanka.
If you obtained a lower Z-Score, still you should mark better courses first and then the other course. This will open chances to enter a good course if vacancies open for these courses. Here we have provided a suggested preference list for students. However you can make your own preferences by omitting some of these courses.
Engineering and Physical Science courses
Course Code – University Code
08 (Engineering) – G(Moratuwa) B(Peradeniya) F(Ruhuna)
10 (Textile Engineering) – G(Moratuwa)
09 (Earth Resource Engineering) – G(Moratuwa)
11 (Qty Surveying)* – G(Moratuwa)**
26 (Info technology) – G(Moratuwa)
57(Transport Mgt) – G(Moratuwa)
30(Town & Country planning)* – G(Moratuwa)
56(facilities Mgt)* – G(Moratuwa)
12(Computer Science) – T(School of Computing, Colombo University)
14(Surveying Science) – L(Sabaragamuwa University)
13(Physical Science) – A(Colombo) D(Kelaniya) C(J'Pura) B(Peradeniya) F(Ruhuna)
23(Architecture)* – G(Moratuwa)
24(Design)* – G(Moratuwa)
34(Fashion design)* – G(Moratuwa)
91(Information technology &Mgt)* – G(Moratuwa)
27(Mgt & Info Technology)* – D(Kelaniya)
15(Applied Science-Physical) – L(Sabaragamuwa) K(Rajarata) M(Wayamba)
31(Pease & Conflict Resolution) – D(Kelaniya)
38(Info & Communication tech)* – T(School of Computing, Colombo) K(Rajarata)
54(Physiotherapy) – A(Colombo) B(Peradeniya)
59(Industrial Statistics) – A(Colombo)
60(Statistics &Operation research) – B(Peradeniya)
61(Computation & Management)* – B(Peradeniya)
66(Entrepreneurship & Management)* – U(Uwa Wellassa)
65(Computer Science &Tech)* – U(Uwa Wellassa)
75(Industrial Informatio0n technology)* – U(Uwa Wellassa)
64(Science &Tech)* – U(Uwa Wellassa)
76(Mineral Resource & tech)* – U(Uwa Wellassa)
25(Law)* – A(Colombo) B(Peradeniya)
* These courses require Credit passes for subjects such as Maths and English at O/L examination. Some courses select students after holding an aptitude test. For further details please refer Admission to undergraduate courses of the universities in Sri Lanka – Academic Year 2009 – 2010 – Based on GCE A/L Examination 2009
Although the newly established offer attractive courses there is less demand compared to other courses. This may be due to lack of experienced and professionally qualified staff. Within few years they will also turned out to be well demanded university courses in Sri Lanka. However if you are good at particular area such as IT you can directly mark your preferences without marking all other courses. The risk in this approach is if you are not selected for the particular course you will lose other chances as you have not marked these in the preference list. UGC will consider your preferences according to priority list and will give you the highest eligible course.

It might be hard to believe but back to school shopping is right around the corner, a heads up to parents with kids in the Beaufort County School District, dress codes have changed.
The school board decided on three main changes this year:
1. Graphic and screen-printing is now allowed on school clothes but nothing can be offensive, like alcohol related graphics.
2. Embroidery is also allowed.
3. Any size emblems are now permitted as well.
Beaufort County School Spokeswoman Sarah Hodges tells us, "It is a little bit less strict but students will still look very professional."
A first time offender will get a warning a second offense means a one day in school suspension.

Frankie - a funny Frankenstein poem by Australian poet Graeme King - funny poems, sad poems, serious poems and romantic poems. Poems for children, nature poems and environment poems, flash poetry, fantasy poems, funny limericks and more
As Frankenstein lay
slabbed to get his daily million volts
He smiled a
green-faced grin, he loved the tingling in his bolts
Then opening his
eyes, he blinked, and he could vaguely see
Old Doctor Jekyll in
the kitchen, pouring out the tea.
"Wake up Frankie,
come and taste my people-flavored tarts,
Made from some dried
fruit mixed with left-over body parts;
Raisins, Frankie
(naughty monster) please don't call them boogers,
Drink your tea, you
like it sweet, I've mixed in sixteen sugars."
Frankie shook
himself awake then shuffled to the table,
Tripped and fell,
his feet caught in the mega-voltage cable,
Saw a blinding flash
and heard a God-almighty roar,
When the smoke had
cleared away, the Doctor was no more.
"Bugger" thought the
monster "Who will care for me from here?"
Then he realized
that he had cried a tiny tear,
Deep inside he knew
he'd miss him, in his heart of hearts,
"I need cheering up"
he said, and ate all of the tarts.
Several days went
by, and Frankie, hungry and alone,
Summoned all his
courage up and used the telephone:
"Hi, I'd like a
triple-stacker multi monster pizza!"
"Certainly Sir,
right away, er…Mastercard or Visa?"
Hanging up, poor
Frankie pondered on his hungry plight
Something had to
happen and it had to be tonight,
Putting on a floppy
hat, with scarf around his neck,
Headed out into the
night, a monster on a trek.
Shuffling down the
street he felt the stares of passers by,
Hare Krishnas handed him some nuts "Peace out, big guy!"
Then a big red M
appeared and Frankie sniffed the smell:
Beef and buns,
sauce, lettuce, cheese and pickles there as well.
As he wandered down
the drive he heard a tinny voice:
"Please tell me your
order, burgers, fries or what's your choice?"
Frankie thought it
sounded like the Doctor's telephone
Looking round he
realized that he was quite alone.
Fleeing from the
ghostly voice, poor Frankie tried to run,
Motion caused the
bolts upon his neck to come undone,
Then he felt quite
funny, and his rapid shuffling slowed,
Stopping still he
coughed and then his head fell on the road.
People screamed upon
the sidewalk at this gruesome sight,
There upon the road
was Frankie's body, quite upright,
Frankie's head
rolled to the kerb, he sighed and cursed his luck,
Shuddering, his body
was run over by a truck!
Lying in the gutter,
Frankie thought: this must be it…
Jekyll's voice said
"Don't give up now, don't you ever quit!"
Then a punk walked
by, with earrings, piercings, clothing shoddy,
Frankie said:
"Excuse me, mate, would you lend me your body?"
Looking at the head
the yob was violently sick,
"Leave me be!" he
cried, then aimed a fully-weighted kick,
Frankie's head
rolled on the road, the traffic lights turned green,
Yellow squish now in
the spot where Frankie's head had been.
As the crowd
dispersed an echoed voice was heard to mutter:
"Should have been
content when he was lying in the gutter,
Tried to grab a
body, but he grabbed a cab instead,"
Moral of this little
tale: Quit When You're a Head!

Since I've been pregnant with twins, now I'm 28 weeks, for the last month, I've been hearing my heartbeat, or pulse in my ear. This has never happen to me before with my other pregnancies. So Have anyone had this problem before? If so please let me know. Its driving me crazy, especially when I lay down...
Hearing My Heartbeat In My Ear
Aamina Naomi & Elijah Charles, Born 2/4/2010 @ 32 weeks (Original DD was 4/1/2010)
**~~Married June 13, 2009**~~ To The Love Of My Life
Yes, it's like you can hear it in your pillow! It really scared me the first time, but after I flipped over and changed positions a few times it wasn't as bad. Everything I've read just chalks it up to increased blood flow, etc., but I'm going to talk to my doctor about it at my next appointment to be safe.
I have the same problem. I keep hearing pulse in my right ear and it's very annoying. I am 19 weeks pregnant and started getting this last week. I heard and read about it and apparently it's normal in pregnant women and goes away by itself. I am going to talk to my doc next week. I will keep you posted. I am glad I am not the only one... :)
I've been searching for info on this and feel a little better knowing I'm not the only one. I am only 15 weeks and can't imagine hearing that for the next 25 weeks. I'll go nuts. LOL. Has anyone found any relief from this or asked their doctor about it yet? I talked to my doctor at my last appt and he said the same thing about the blood flow but at the time it was only happening to me at night. Now it is on and off all day so I'm getting a little more worried. I will talk to him again at my next appt.

Hi, Im reading the book When Your Expecting Twins, Triplets, or Quads, and just so happens I read about this exact thing a couple of nights ago. Anyway, it says that it's all the extra volumes of blood that your heart is pumping(being pregnant with multiples, providing oxygen to them and all the extra hormones) and that you also may sometimes feel your heart racing as well. It says that it's normal for us multiple mommies:)
Wife to B-1 year(1-16-10)�Mom to J.C 11, C.J. 7, A.C & E.C 12 months.
Boy am I glad to hear I am not the only one suffering from this condition! I believe the official medical term is "pulsatile tinnutis". I am currently 23 weeks pg with twins and have been suffering from this for about the last 7-8 weeks.
Mine started during a horrible bout with a head cold. I just assumed it was because of my ears/sinuses being plugged but after it didn't go away for a few weeks, I saw an ENT. He said my eustachian tubes were not functioning well in either ear (especially the left ear which was the ear I could hear the pulsating in the worst).
His advice was to start me on Nasonex (nasal steroid...safe in pg after first trimester). He said if that didn't work they could try oral steroids (prednisone) or ear tubes! Yuck. He also said we could take the wait and see approach.
But after he informed me of all of this, he said it may be caused by the multiple pregnancy and I would have to live with it until I delivered. :(
I talked about all of this with my OB (she's a perinatologist and used to dealing with the challenges of a multiple pregnancy). She said it is probably caused by all of the extra blood flow. She said in a twin pregnancy, the blood volume is 5 x normal so it makes sense I could hear my heartbeat. She also said she personally would not do tubes (ouch!) and that since I am past the first trimester, I could do prednisone. I took the Nasonex for a few weeks but it did nothing to help.
For now, I have decided to see if it gets any better on its on. I really hate the side effects of prednisone(makes my heart race badly and my heart rate is already high enough as it is). And I hate the thought of going through the pain and suffering of having tubes put in only to find out it's all being caused by the pregnancy.
I will say it has gotten a little better. I don't hear it nearly as badly as I did before and it seems to just be on the left side now.
Oh, I thought I was going crazy! Mine does it in my left ear, and it remind's me of Edgar Allan Poe's "The Tell-Tale Heart." ;)
Sarah, Stay-at-home-momma to Noah (8), Eli (5), and Ava & Lila (2), my beautiful twincesses born at 39 weeks, 3 days and med-free!
Too funny...I thought it was just me too! I swore I was going to have an aneurysm the first time it happened! I was a nervous wreck.....and it comes out of nowhere!
We are expecting twins (boy/girl)� in June
Ok I thought I was just tripping. But you said this happens with twins. I'm only having a girl & I have the same issue.
Our first 1. We are truly Blessed!!!
I just had my baby a week ago and i am dealing with that too. I was worried about it which i think mine might be because i'm still bleeding from labor and my vessels are trying to pump more blood. Any mothers have this problem after birth?

DeAndre has signed a four-year contract and will remain with Sounders before joining us ahead of the 2015/16 season.
Capped seven times by the US, DeAndre caught the eye with his performances at this summer's World Cup. Born in Seattle, he joined Sounders' Academy in 2010-11 and became their first home-grown player when he signed in January, 2013.
The 21-year-old made it into the MLS All-Star Team in his first season last year - the first 'rookie' to do so in the MLS since 2005 - and earned the honour again this season for the recent MLS All-Star game against Bayern Munich.
DeAndre has now played 52 times for the Sounders in all competitions and lined-up against us in our 3-3 friendly draw at CenturyLink Field on July 19, the first match of this summer's Tour of North America.

ohai how did I not see this thread?
nifty nifty, but does it have things like malloc and new built in (for C/C++ respectively)?
I mean, making my own malloc in asm would be as simple as using my FS code and making it into code that...works on a GBA, but you know, it's nice to avoid that. haha. I sound like I don't know what I'm talking about, but I do! ... yea! XD

Picked up another bike today and strangely it's the second bike in the past 2 months that still have some kind of lock on it.
Is this pretty common for you collectors out there or are the folks I get bikes from absent minded?
Either way it's my first World Sport and is in pretty decent condition. Just cleaned her up a bit and shines like it's almost new! Well worth the asking price.

(Updated with victim names)A van vs. freight train collision in Batavia, Iowa, leaves two children dead and the female driver and a third child injured.It happened late Monday afternoon at a railroad crossing three blocks from downtown Batavia. Sgt. Russ Morey with the Iowa State Patrol told KTVO Monday evening that Tara Lewman, 25, of Batavia, drove around the crossing arms, and the van was struck by the westbound train.
Kallie Clark, 5, and Erika Clark, 4, both of Batavia were killed on impact.Morey said there was another train stalled on the tracks. Lewman waited for a period of time, and she then apparently decided to go ahead and cross the tracks.
The trooper said Lewman likely couldn't see the second train coming as she made her way around the crossing arms and attempted to cross the railroad tracks.We are told Lewman was airlifted from the scene to an Iowa City hospital, and the surviving child, Jordan Clark, 1, of Batavia, was taken by ambulance to Jefferson County Hospital in Fairfield for treatment.

Some of the Phillies' recent risks with relief pitchers haven't exactly panned out.
There was the two-year, $5.25 million contract they gave to Danys Baez before the 2010 season and the two-year deal worth $5 million they gave to the 39-year-old (wink, wink, nudge, nudge) Jose Contreras after the 2010 season. There was also the infamous $1.15 million spent on Chad Qualls before the 2012 season.
For $11.4 million, the Phillies got a combined 7-9 record, five saves, and a 5.30 ERA from that trio of veteran relievers.
This comes up now because general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. admitted the Phillies were taking another risk with their latest free-agent acquisition, Mike Adams, which became official Thursday after the 34-year-old reliever passed his physical.

text: I am researching for some days now about which graphic card should I purchase. I am about to buy a new graphic card for my PC and I want one which is faster as well as quieter. I found many graphic cards but the best graphic cards that provided both, speed and less noise were only two; ATI Radeon HD 4850 and AMD Radeon HD 7750. Can anyone who has used these graphic cards tell me I should buy any of this? I would like to know which among these both is best.

I took out the seats and all the floor mats and could not see any holes. I ran water over the front around the windshield wiper area - no leaks. The other day after driving in the rain the driver's side front was very wet and the back was even wetter. I'm guessing at least several quarts of water. Help!

Should I follow the Windows 2000 or Windows 2003 exam track?
I'm in the NT 4.0 MSCE group and am planning to upgrade to the latest exam. The question I would like to ask is...

which track (Windows 2000 or Windows 2003) would be worthy based on my skills (managing 1000 Windows XP, 10 Windows 2000 servers and five NT)? Are the new exams similar to the Windows 2000 series? From what I've seen from the Sims it is quite challenging. Given your current work environment and the fact that it took 2-2.5 years for 50% of all organizations and companies to upgrade from NT to Windows 2000, it's likely that the 50% point for Windows Server 2003 is probably still 18-24 months in the future. I suggest you obtain your Windows 2000 MCSE first, then take the two upgrade exams: 70-292 and 70-296--to qualify for Windows Server 2003 MCSE when your organization begins the planning work for its migration to the new platform. This should give you 12 months to get through the Windows 2000 stuff, and another 6 months to prepare and get through the Windows Server 2003 stuff.
As for MCDST, for those who support end users on Windows XP desktops, the credential is worthwhile for help desk and tech support professionals. Given what you already know and can do, unless you're planning to change roles and go to work at a help desk or tech support operation, it's probably not the right thing for you. As far as MCDST's markeplace acceptance goes (another way of measuring the credential's worthiness) it's still too early to tell if this program will be become the big success that Microsoft hopes it will.

At a dinner for Morgan Spurlock's "The Greatest Movie Ever Sold," the director demonstrated his sartorial sponsorship, talked about the advantages of sporting a festival 'stache and predicted that more brands will find their way into indie movies. The full video's below, which also captures the filmmaker's branded blazer -- one that would put any NASCAR racer's to shame.
indieWIRE: OK, here we go. Stretch out your arm... We have Jet Blue, going into Hyatt, going into Sheetz -- I don't know what the hell that is --
MORGAN SPURLOCK: Sheetz is a convenience store chain in Pennsylvania.
iW: Mini, Amy's -- Amy's is Amy's ice cream?
Amy's Organics is like pizza, soup...
iW: OK. Seventh Generation, Mane & Tail, Ban...
Oh, this Ban's better. (raising his arm)
iW: When did you become conscious of building your name and your filmmaking as the Morgan Spurlock brand?
You know, I never really thought of it until I sat down with David Wales. He runs a company called the Ministry of Culture. He's a futurist, in essence.
iW: Like a Faith Popcorn.
Exactly. And he said, "You are a brand. You have to understand that."
iW: I'm surprised that you didn't see yourself as that. Your face was so prevalent in "Super Size Me," your look is the same, same mustache...
Oh, the best part about this mustache is if I shave it off, I'm invisible. It's like Clark Kent and his glasses. I go on vacation, it's the first thing to come off.
iW: So this is the festival 'stache.
Right. Exacly. (laughs) It's true.
iW: When did you get Pom on board?
October or November 2009. And it was amazing, Suddenly we had a title sponsor, they agreed to commit up to a million dollars... and then the contracts start coming in and what they want in return and that's when the negotiation really starts.
iW: Did anything make you blanch and say, "Oh my God, I can't do this?"
Oh, completely. The number of times they want you to hold things or say things or make comments about things. You start to put the kibosh on it all.
iW: How do brands react to you saying, "Sorry, not gonna go there"?
Most of them knew that we were trying to maintain a real level of creative control. But there were certain things that they wanted us to do. Jet Blue wanted us to interview someone in their terminal. Sheetz wanted to make sure that we got gas at their store.
iW: Who said no?
Oh, hundreds and hundreds of people said no. Ben Sherman, Reebok, Nike, Old Navy, Tommy Hilfiger, every clothing company you can imagine.
iW: Why did Old Navy say no? I'd think you'd be so in with the hoodie crowd.
I know, right? But I must have called five or six hundred companies to be in this film and we got 15. Every fast food restaurant, every beverage company...
iW: Why'd they say no?
People were afraid. "I value my job." The other question is in a different economy, how many people would have been as not as risk averse? As people were getting fired, fewer and fewer people wanted to be the guys who said, "We should do this."
iW: Do you think your film has a chance to change the way that branding will affect independent filmmakers in the future?
That's a good question. I don't think anybody will do it this extreme.
iW: No, I don't expect anybody else to do the same kind of schtick. But for brands, in the way that they think about independent film --
I think the tide has turned. Brands are saying where can we get the greatest amount of eyeballs for the least amount of money?' Nobody's watchig commercials. I don't go through any clickthroughs on a website. If you're a car company, you're like, "Wow, we can give them a car to use and $5,000, and suddenly Paul Rudd or somebody is driving off in my car." I think it's going to change. I think they see this an opportunity to have a real niche audience for a small amount of money. I think it will happen.

The Greenfield School District will investigate how the costs got so high for a new concession stand at Greenfield High School.
Doubts expressed by some Greenfield residents, piled on top of doubts of some Greenfield School Board members, about whether the school district paid too much for the concession stand triggered that decision by the board Monday.
The 12-by-12-foot structure cost $68,000. It was built as part of a massive update of the high school that was paid for with $48.5 million in funds approved in referendums in 2007 and 2008.
School Board President Bruce Bailey said people have told him the cost of the concession stand seems excessive.
The board isn't expecting a refund, but if the process of approving spending was flawed, it needs to be fixed, said board member Cathy Walsh.

Oklahoma Watch: Low-income students likely to be retained at highest rate
Among thousands of Oklahoma students who could be held back in third grade for failing a state reading test next year, a disproportionate share likely will be low-income children, an Oklahoma Watch analysis of state data found.
An analysis of state test data from spring 2012 found that elementary schools with higher rates of low-income students had greater shares of third-graders who scored poorly on the Oklahoma Core Curriculum Test for reading.
Starting in spring 2014, under the Reading Sufficiency Act, third-graders who score at the lowest level on the test, unsatisfactory, will have to repeat third grade unless they get an exemption or improve to grade level by the fall.
The possibility that many of the students held back will come from low-income families raises fears among some educators that these children in particular will suffer negative effects from retention. Research over decades has found that retention can cause harmful lasting effects, including lagging achievement, higher dropout rates and social and emotional problems. Poor students are less likely to have support resources at home to recover, some experts say.
The Reading Sufficiency Act is intended to help more children read earlier, to advance from "learning to read" to "reading to learn" by fourth grade.
Supporters say the retention mandate will push schools to get their low performers up to speed and stop social promotion, in which students are moved up without mastering skills.
Statewide, 5,375 third-graders, or 11 percent, scored last spring at the lowest level on the reading exam, according to state data.
In the largest district, Oklahoma City Public Schools, 22 percent scored at the bottom; in Tulsa Public Schools, 25 percent did. More than four-fifths of students in both districts are low-income.
Tulsa-area principal Angie Teas is especially worried. Nearly 40 percent of her third-grade students would have flunked last year if Oklahoma's read-or-fail law had been in effect.
Teas, the principal of Mark Twain Elementary School in Sand Springs, can count on one hand the number of third-graders retained during her seven-year career as a principal.
Last spring, 25 of her third-graders scored unsatisfactory on the statewide reading test.
Like many schools, Mark Twain has stepped up efforts to get its struggling students to read better before the law's ultimatum kicks in. But Teas remains concerned. About 15 percent of this year's second-graders are at risk of failing in 2014. Nearly all of Mark Twain's students are from low-income families, which could magnify any negative effects from retention, she said.
"We have students with parents in jail, students who are in the shelter down the street," Teas said. To those children, "who cares about reading and math if those things are going on?" Teas said.
Educators agree that Oklahoma students need to improve on reading. That's reflected in results on the "Nation's Report Card," or National Assessment of Educational Progress, tests given to a sampling of usually fourth- and eighth-grade students nationally.
Since 2002, the state's fourth-graders have consistently scored lower than the national average on NAEP reading tests.
Low-income students performed worse. In 2011, 45 percent of low-income students in Oklahoma scored below the basic level on NAEP reading, compared with 36 percent of all students. Similar gaps existed between whites and minorities.
A pivotal factor in helping all students, experts say, is providing enough intervention so they can rebound academically and, in the best case, quickly return to their normal grade level. At the school level, that comes down to money. In Oklahoma, lawmakers and educators debate whether the Reading Sufficiency Act has enough.
The reading law
Oklahoma's reading act was passed in the 1990s mainly to provide funding to help first- and third-grade students improve reading skills. In 2011, after heated debate, lawmakers added test-based promotion.
The law requires school districts to assess children's reading levels in kindergarten; each school must submit reading plans on how to improve strugglers' skills.
Starting in 2014, third-graders who score "unsatisfactory" on the Oklahoma Core Curriculum Test for reading will be held back unless they are given an exemption. Exemptions include having limited English proficiency, passing state-approved alternative assessment tests or providing a teacher's documentation proving the child has adequate reading skills.
Students who complete a summer reading program also are eligible for promotion, at the teacher's discretion. Retained students can be promoted midyear if they pass a state-approved assessment test or develop a reading portfolio to prove their ability to read at grade level.
Oklahoma Department of Education officials say the reading act is designed to help schools improve most students' skills regardless of reading habits at home or attendance problems.
Tricia Pemberton, spokeswoman for the Education Department, said some schools with many low-income students score well on state reading tests.
"(These schools) are doing it with the same amount of funding, no more or no less funding," Pemberton said. "They can do it."
Florida model
Oklahoma's reading law is modeled off a Florida read-or-fail law enacted in 2002. The law has been touted as the reason for the state's academic gains.
Since 2002, average fourth-grade reading scores in Florida on the Nation's Report Card have jumped by 11 points and are 5 points above the national average. Minority and low-income students made significant improvements.
The results speak to Florida's efforts to help struggling kids and hold back the children that need more time, said Mary Laura Bragg, who a decade ago headed then-Gov. Jeb Bush's reading office and helped craft the reading law.
After Florida's law took effect, the number of retained third-graders soared by more than 300 percent, to 23,166, according to state education data. The number has fallen since, but the state still holds back more students than it did before the law was passed.
Researchers are still scrutinizing the effects.
Nation's Report Card data show that while Florida's fourth-grade reading scores climbed, those for eighth-grade students have improved only slightly. Eighth-grade reading scores remain just below or above the national average.
A 2012 Harvard University study found that achievement by retained Florida students rose in the short term but was statistically insignificant after six years.
Shane Jimerson, a professor at the University of California-Santa Barbara who researches retention, said holding students back produces a short-term boost in productivity but is a long-term detriment. Retained children can suffer social problems because they reach puberty earlier than classmates and can feel stigmatized.
"Having a law with a retention mandate is akin to education malpractice," Jimerson said.
Teas, the Mark Twain principal, said she has seen firsthand the negative impact that retention can have on a child. Her son, Zach Teas, was held back in the second grade.
During his first year in second grade, Zach was put through tutoring and after-school programs and had a support system at home encouraging him to read, Angie Teas said. In the end, she decided to hold him back.
Even now, her eyes water and her voice grows heavy when she talks about the decision, which Zach's educators supported. She thinks the retention played a large part in Zach's not having motivation later in school. He graduated from an alternative high school and did not attend college. He now works at a call center.
Zach, 21, of Tulsa, said he takes responsibility for his education path. He wants to pursue a career related to video games.
"It isn't something you wish on your children," Angie Teas said about her son not attending college. "You want them to live up to their full potential."

Dr. Wallach starts todays show discussing what he calls "doctor caused diseases". Listing several common health challenges and the things doctors recommend that play into the development of disease. Contending that all of these disease states can be prevented and reversed with dietary, lifestye and supplementation changes.
Pearls of Wisdom
Doug Winfrey and Dr. Wallach discuss a news article on gluten intolerance. The story points out that the wheat of today is not the same as wheat that was consumed centuries ago. Outlining that these newer grains contain more gluten and have a high glycemic index. All of this leading to "wheat belly" which is visceral fat packed around the organs of the body cavity.
- Gary was recently diagnosed with Celiac disease and asks Dr. Wallach if he can reverse the damage to his small intestines.
- Marylin has several health challenges including type 2 diabetes, macular degeneration, weight gain and acute hemolytic anemia.

Wellesley, Mass. – In a recent release, MEMS: BIOSENSORS AND NANOSENSORS (IAS027B) from BCC Research (www.bccresearch.com), the global market for microsensors should reach nearly $5.9 billion 2011. That value is projected to reach nearly $12 billion in 2016, after increasing at a five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.3%.
The microsensor market can be broken down into three segments – microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), biochips, and nanosensors.
The segment made up of MEMS is expected to be worth nearly $3.2 billion in 2011 and in 2016 should be worth $6.5 billion, a CAGR 15.5%.
The segment made up of biochips, worth $2.7 billion for 2011, should be worth $5.4 billion in 2016, a CAGR of 14.9%.
The segment made up of nanosensors should total $6.5 million for 2011, and in 2016 should be worth $38.4 million, a CAGR of 42.7%.
Microsensors have proven to be a key enabling technology of developments in sectors such as transportation, telecommunications, and healthcare, but the range of microsensors applications covers nearly every sector. Compared to other sensor technologies, microsensors' advantages include compact size, reduced power consumption, lower cost, and increased reliability. This report takes a hard look at the market for microsensors and tries to provide a road map to not just any or all technologies and applications related to microsensors, but the ones that are likely to enjoy the greatest commercial success in the years leading to 2016.
While it contains some detailed microsensor technology descriptions, the report is mainly intended for lay readers and not technologists. Marketing executives and those charged with asset allocation and corporate strategy, as well as entrepreneurs, investors, and venture capitalists, will find the report useful, and so will anyone interested in knowing where this technology is headed over the course of the next five years.

Eating Galicia:
Stalking the Wild Tapas of Santiago de Compostela - Page Two
The Perfect Wines
I was totally impressed by my dinner at Yayo Daporta. It was served with a fine selection of local wines. Rias Baixas is an official Designation of Origin (DO) and well known for its Albariño white wines. Vineyards supported by ancient granite posts are everywhere. We visited Pazo Senorans for a private tasting.
They maintain their own vineyards and work in cooperation with local growers to harvest the finest grapes in the region. I have no great wine knowledge but I do know what I like and I loved their wine. Perfect for seafood.
Like cities all over the world the central market is the soul of Santiago. The Mercado de Abastos is where people go every day to shop and meet and greet.
It is loosely divided into separate sections of long old stone buildings of meat, poultry shell fish and vegetables and there are shops for amazing Galician bread, cheese, spices, flowers etc. The food here is as fresh as it gets.
Many of the stalls are filled with still wriggling creatures of the sea including the famous blue lobsters and percebes, the strange looking goose barnacles harvested by hand off rocks under heavy surf.
Right next door we had a quick snack at a small standing room only place, Abastos 2.0. We had a bowl of cockles in broth and octopus, ever present on Galician tables, sliced thin, drizzled with olive oil and served on pieces of slate, washed down by a glass of local Rias Baixas wine. I was a happy guy.
The Best Octopus in Town
I ate a lot of octopus in Santiago; boiled in a copper pot, served in chunks on wood, grilled, adorned with molecular foam, and wrapped in a small delicate empanada presented as art spinning in a glass box at a gala dinner accompanied by a classical pianist. The Galicians are renowned for their consumption of octopus.
The best, in my humble opinion, is served traditionally, baked and grilled with olive oil paprika and garlic sauce.
The restaurant O Celme do Caracol was just better enough on the night I ate there to judge it as having the best octopus in Santiago.It was incredibly sweet and tender with a satisfying crunch on the surface from the grilling and a sprinkling of hard sea salts.
The sauce was deep, smoky and spicy. It was made from a mother's recipe passed down through generations to her son and the owner of O Celme, German Gonzalez.
He bakes a five-pound octopus at 350 degrees for 50 minutes in a convection oven at 80% humidity. It is cut into 3-5 inch pieces, then grilled for about four minutes or until it starts to char on some of the edges.
It is served over potatoes that have been boiled with laurel, doused with olive oil infused with smoked paprika and garlic. Thanks to German for sharing this dish and his mother's recipe with me.

O Dezaseis: A Traditional Restaurant
My dinner at O Dezaseis was hands down my favorite meal in Santiago. A rustic setting in a room filled with people talking, arguing, laughing and eating at a fevered pitch at long communal tables. Waiters swerved in and out of the crowd with steaming trays of razor clams, small shrimp with roe, platters of empanadas and endless bottles of wine.
The kitchen was humming. Friends of the owner had come in to help butcher the beautiful local grass-fed beef into huge steaks. It was cooked rare, seared on a very hot flat grill pan just until the outer fat was charred.
Wow this was good. The food is so fresh in Galicia it only needs small yet skilled enhancements to bring out the full flavor. So fresh in fact that I was chastised by one of my fellow journalists, the infamous Gerry Dawes.
Being from Boston, Massachusetts, the home of steamers, I instinctively squirted the smallest amount of lemon on a razor clam.
"What are you doing?" he gasped. "These are Galician clams, the finest in the world; they need nothing. Do you understand? Nothing!!!"
For desert we had ricotta with honey, boiled chestnuts with whipped cream and chocolate sauce accompanied by coffee liqueur. Food in Spain still exists within a cultural dynamic, the good stuff cannot be franchised; it exists within and reinforces community, and you cannot separate the two.
To really appreciate it, you have to go there and eat it with a bunch of manic Gallegos. It tastes better. Galicians are definitely my favorite people to drink and crack a clam with. Here's a link to the O Dezaseis website
Tapa Talk
I have a Basque friend who calls Santiago the best tapas town outside of San Sebastian. That is high praise coming from the home of tapas.
The long winding streets of the ancient stone city come alive again after dark and late into the night as groups of friends make the traditional "Tapeo," a pub crawl.
In my town,we call it bar hopping. The difference is that in Santiago they are devoted to serving their own unique tapas and they are fantastic. There are hundreds of bars restaurants in Santiago that run the gamut from those that cater to university students to the elegant Hostal Dos Reis Catolicos. Read more...

This will be my fourth attempt at castor oil. The last three times had zero success. But after researching it I have found women seem to have better result when a) they are close to their due date... Duh lol and b) if they take multiple doses. My last attempt were around 37 weeks and I could never stomach more than one dose.
So its round four... Me vs castor oil. I am determined to repeat dose no matter how gag nasty it is.
Follow along for this match up!!!
Took 2 oz of co blended with an orange dreamcicle and about a tbsp of water. Had to microwave the concoction for about 20 sec to make it easier to chug. Gagged about three times while trying to get it down while fighting my daughter off because she assumed I was enjoying a delicious treat without her. Immediatly scarfed down a banana nut muffin in a feeble attempt to soak up some of the oil residue. Chased that with a few drinks of soda. Applied some burts bees peppermint chapstick to mask the oil left over on my lips.
This took place at 5:50
As for my stats... I am 39 weeks and 2 days. Maybe 2 cm dilated, 50% effaced, and my cervix still high. I have been having zero contractions or period pains. I did lose my plug last week but we all know it reginerates. I almost never even have any bh. I have been really constipated, so a bm is welcomed!
15 min into my fight night I feel nothing.... Not even sick to my stomach. The chapstick seems to be helping.
Will be updating!
UPDATE!!!:Ā For anyone doubting if CO works, so far we have had two babies born and a few more women in active labor since last night!!!!

This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

It started with a simple concept: revolutionize the motorhome market by creating a coach with the best of a Class A and a Class C. The features that make the A.C.E. so popular have also made it the undisputed leader in gas motorhomes. See why so many people call the A.C.E home and start an adventure of your own today!
Owner Comments:
"We were literally putting a deposit on a Class C motorhome the day I came across the ACE. We needed specific amenities of the Class C RV, specifically the overhead bunk for the kids, but I like to drive the Class A coaches and enjoy the comfort and all the storage space that goes along with it. We also needed a large towing capacity and space to work with our computers while on the road, and let's face it, we all want good looks and luxury! I emailed my wife the link to the ACE, and we were sold!"
"After RVing in motorhomes and travel trailers the past 25 years, this is a fresh new design and refreshing approach on customer service across the board!"
- Chris Biro, Ontario Canada
"Attractive to the eye, and easy on the wallet, this is one RV that seems ready and able to qualify for status as a benchmark unit in the sector." More>>
"The Bottom Line - For those who are looking to move up to a Class A motorhome that is designed for 21st century touring, or experienced RV'ers interested in downsizing to a more compact and fuel efficient unit, the A.C.E. is at the top of our "must see" list. A very fine handling vehicle that suits the needs of a wide cross section of Canadian RV families…"

Cracking open five of the best open source easter eggs
A number of humorous yet undocumented features are hiding beneath the surface of some of the most popular open source software applications. Although easter eggs are generally easy to spot when you can look at an application's source code, there are a few that aren't widely known.
Google's Goats
Unbeknownst to most users, Google's Chrome Web browser is powered by a distributed array of goats. In order to prevent the creatures from clogging the tubes, Google uses teleportation to moves them between endpoints on the network. A hidden feature in Chrome's task manager allows users to see the total number of goats that are actively being teleported for each running browser tab. In Chrome's task manager, right-click the task table—check the "Goats Teleported" item in the context menu.

Iranian Rapper Fears for His Life After Fatwa
BEIRUT—Iranian rapper Shahin Najafi expected his song calling on a Shiite saint to save Iran from its current rulers to stir up controversy, but he never imagined it might cost him his life.
Shahin Najafi's Music
He is now being dubbed the Salman Rushdie of music after two influential clerics in Iran issued fatwas—religious edicts—justifying his murder on grounds of blasphemy.
"I am still in disbelief. I'm only 31, with my whole life ahead of me," said Mr. Najafi in an interview from Germany, where he lives and, since last week, has been in hiding under the protection of German police.
Mr. Najafi says he doesn't regret the song and refuses to apologize, arguing that invoking a saint's name is a freedom of expression and not a religious insult. "Each person has to pay a price for what they want. I will never apologize for my art and for speaking the truth about Iran's government," said Mr. Najafi.
Iranian officials haven't commented on the fatwas or denounced them. But the case could present a new public-image problem for Iran ahead of talks next week with the international community in Baghdad over its nuclear program.
In recent months, Iran has sought to improve its image as a rogue nation by offering conciliatory remarks to build trust with the West. The efforts paid off to some extent at an initial meeting in April in Istanbul, where both sides claimed the negotiations ended on a positive note, paving the way for a second round set to begin on May 23 in Baghdad. Iran says the world should trust its word that its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes.
The senior clerics empowered to issue fatwas act independently of the government—but anyone who carries out a death fatwa is granted impunity under Iranian law.
"Iranian authorities could make it very clear that people who are inciting murder could be held accountable, and that's something they aren't currently doing," said Ann Harrison, Amnesty International's deputy program director for Middle East and Africa.
After Mr. Najafi released his song "Naqi" online on May 7, Iranian media and conservative bloggers said it was in violation of an earlier fatwa calling for the execution of anyone who blasphemes the 10th saint of Shiite Islam, Ali an-Naqi. A subsequent fatwa by another grand ayatollah declared that a singer who had been insulting the saint was guilty of blasphemy—giving the green light for his followers to kill Mr. Najafi, though the fatwa didn't mention the rapper by name. Both rulings have been repeated in Iranian media.
An Iranian website, Shia-Online, subsequently put a $100,000 bounty on Mr. Najafi's head, and more than 100 people, joining an online "campaign to execute Shahin Najafi," have pledged further rewards.
Mr. Najafi, a native of a small port town in southern Iran, fled to Germany in 2005 after he said an intelligence agent threatened him for staging underground concerts. His angry lyrics touch on rights abuses, stifling social norms and other difficulties of life in Iran, and in "Naqi," he calls on the saint to save the country. He says he is too young to go into hiding, but fears he might never be safe in Europe.
After the fatwa issued by the Iranian revolution's founding father Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini against Mr. Rushdie in 1989, the British-Indian writer went into hiding for years, and Iran suffered diplomatic fallout with Europe. While Mr. Najafi isn't nearly as renowned as Mr. Rushdie and the clerics who issued the fatwa aren't as powerful as Iran's supreme leader, the threat to his life is serious, human-rights organizations say.
Corrections & Amplifications
Iran took part in an initial round of nuclear talks in Istanbul in April. An earlier version of this article incorrectly said the talks were held in March.

Guides > Finding Information in the Portal > Basic Search
Basic Search
Basic Search provides a quick, "no-fuss" way to search by keywords or phrases, but you can also use it to create more sophisticated searches by combining terms, targeting your search, and/or limiting your search to particular types of items.
Finding the Search Screen
Entering Keywords or Phrases
Entering Dates
Targeting Your Search
Limiting Your Search by Resource Type
Finding Plurals and Alternate Spellings
Finding the Search Screen
The Basic Search Screen appears near the top of our home page.
You can also navigate to the Basic Search screen from any page by clicking "Search" in the upper right-side navigation menu.
Entering Keywords or Phrases
Type your word(s) or phrase(s) into the Basic Search dialog box. Searches are not case sensitive, so you don't need to capitalize. There are several ways to construct your keyword search:
Single Keyword
Action: enter one word
Search returns: every item containing that word
When to use: for a quick search
Example: shoes
Exact Phrase
Action: enclose a phrase in quotation marks
Search returns: every item containing the complete phrase
When to use: for a quick search
Example: "grocery store"
Multiple Keywords/Phrases
Action: enter several words/phrases
Search returns: every item containing all the words/phrases
When to use: for a more specific search
shoes socks girl
"grocery store" emma
"grocery store" "hurricane katrina"
Focused Keywords/Phrases
Action: use the plus (+) symbol and/or the minus (-) symbol before words or phrases
Search returns: every item that includes the "plus" words/phrases and excludes the "minus" words/phrases
When to use: for a more specific search or to clarify a word/phrase's meaning
+shoes +socks
+shoes +socks -stockings
+bass -fishing
+kid -gloves -leather -goat
+"civil war" -north -yankee
+"civil war" -"human rights"
Entering Dates
This feature allows you to locate items created or published in a particular year or range of years. In the Basic Search dialog box, type date: followed by your year or range of years. Target the search to fulltext; you cannot use this feature with the "metadata," "title," "subject," or "creator" options.
Single Year
Action: enter date: followed by one four-digit year
Search returns: every item created or published in that year
Range of Years
Action: enter date: followed by one four-digit year, a hyphen (-), and then a second four-digit year.
Search returns: every item created or published in the first year, the last year, or any of the years in between.
Years Before
Action: enter date: followed by an asterisk, a hyphen (-), and then a four digit year.
Search returns: every item created or published before or during the specified year.
Years After
Action: enter date: followed by a four digit year, a hyphen (-), and then an asterisk. Search returns: every item created or published during or after the specified year.
Targeting Your Search
Using the drop-down box to the right of the Basic Search dialog box, you can target your search with one of these options:
fulltext - searches all the item records plus all text that has been transcribed or read by optical character recognition (OCR) technology
metadata - searches the metadata within the item records
title - searches only the title fields within the item records
subject - searches only the subject fields within the item records
creator - searches only the creator fields within the item records
Limiting Your Search by Resource Type
The default setting in Basic Search is to search "everything": all types of materials. However, by clicking one of the links directly above the Basic Search dialog box, you can restrict your search to specific types of materials.
Using the drop-down box labeled "More," above the "Submit" button, you can target your search by additional resource types.
Finding Plurals and Alternate Spellings
Diacritic Characters
When you enter a search word or phrase containing diacritic characters, they are converted to their closest A-to-Z letter and then submitted to the system. A search for "José María Falcón" will return the same results as a search for "Jose Maria Falcon."
If you are unsure of a spelling, or if you want to broaden your search, you can insert wildcards into your search terms. A wildcard tells the search engine to look for any letter(s) or character(s) in the position of the wildcard.
You can place wildcards anywhere other than the beginning of a word. Use wildcards in searches that contain one word or multiple words, but not in exact phrase searches.
Use a question mark (?) to replace an individual letter or character.
capit?l returns capital, capitol, etc.
sm?th returns Smith, Smuth, Smyth, etc.
s??t? returns Smith, Smuth, Smyth, slate, spates, etc.
Use an asterisk (*) to replace multiple letters or characters.
f*t returns fit, feet, foot, flight, freight, etc.
mcda* returns McDaniel, McDavid, McDavidson, etc.
m*da* returns McDaniel, MacDaniel, Mardale, modality, etc.
You can use both question marks and asterisks in the same query.
str?ng* returns strange, string, strings, strongly, etc.
thom?? je*son returns Thomas Jefferson, Thomie Jepson, etc.
As you can see from the examples above, wildcard searching sometimes produces unexpected results.
We are not currently implementing stemming, so neither regular nor irregular plurals are automatically located in a keyword search. To search for both the singular and plural forms of a word, use wildcards in the position of the letters that would form the plural. For example, searching thes?s will locate both thesis and theses. Searching dog? will locate both dog and dogs, but it will also find words such as Doge. Searching child* will locate child, child's, and children, but it will also find many other words with child as their root such as Childress, Childers, etc.

Hi, I did a search and came up with nothing for the Americana Winter Wonderland Kit. I do believe this was a kit with the little paints. I also cannot find the santa but will be going to craft stores this weekend so I will post if I find something that comes close.
