Students First, a group looking to improve education through increased accountability for teachers and principals, more financial transparency in schools, and enhanced power for parents, is grading states on their education initiatives.
Ohio received an average grade, but fared well compared to other states.
StateImpact Ohio sat down with Greg Harris, the group's Ohio director, to talk about what they think the state is doing well, and they what will push for this year.
[audio href="http://audio2.ideastream.org/statenews/2010/students_first_qa.wav" title="Q&A: Students First Gives Ohio a C-"]A Q&A with Greg Harris of Students First about what they think Ohio is doing well, and poorly, in terms of education reform.[/audio]
[Read more about how Ohio did here, or compare Ohio to other states here.]
Q: So how did Ohio do?
A: Well Ohio, and this report card is a snapshot of where we are now, Ohio got a C-. Which, actually in the context of this report card is pretty good, it actually makes us a top 10 rated state.
The things we grade are elevating teaching, which basically means we want to make sure there's a very effective teacher in every single Ohio classroom. Empowering parents, and that includes things like ensuring parents are armed with the information they need to be able to make good choices for their children's education, and governance, making sure that we're spending smartly when it comes to our schools, making sure that as much money is going to the classroom and as little money is going into things like administration and back office functions.
Q: What are some things, in terms of these three elements that you mentioned, that Ohio is doing well?
A: Well under empowering parents, we urged the passage of legislation, it was House Bill 555, that basically gave a report card for all our schools, and while report cards aren't perfect there's a common frame of reference for that. Everyone's been to school and knows what an A means and knows what an F means and everything in between. We want parents to be able to see how their schools are graded across different categories and to be able to make effective choices for their children based on those grades, and now we think this new system is much more accessible to them.
Q: You mentioned that we're a C but there are things in action that - according to your standards - will improve education in Ohio. What are those things?
A: Currently we have a system where regardless of how a child performs, teachers' evaluation, pay, performance is pretty much divorced from the students' outcomes. When you evaluate teachers you have to factor in student performance in those evaluations, and so Ohio has now passed legislation saying that student performance has to play a role in terms of teacher pay and promotion. We think it needs to go further, we think tenure decisions need to be based on student performance.
Q: Some of the measures that you mentioned, like tying teacher pay to teacher performance, are things that the teachers' unions in the state really don't like. How much of this has to do with unionization in these states?
A: It has something to do with it. Look, there are different kinds of unions and we're basically saying that if you're a machinist or an autoworker, everybody gets the same raises, raises are based on seniority. But in education we're not building machines, we're building minds. At some point, to some degree, through multiple measures we have to be able to ensure that a teacher is effective, that is a teacher is helping a student grow from the beginning of an academic year to the end of an academic year.
Our current system also doesn't really reward teachers who are really good at what they do. We want to see a system that really improves compensation for teachers that are very effective and creates professional development practices where the really effective teachers are mentoring the less effective teachers.
Q: The report card applauds Ohio for having increased oversight of our charter schools, but it also calls for a lifting of the ban on the number of charter schools that can open in a given year. Is there any concern that lifting that ban would lead to more, untested charter schools that maybe aren't among the high-performing charter schools in the state?
A: Well the two go together. We very much recognize that there are many charter schools in Ohio that have not succeeded at educating kids and the authorizers that authorize those schools should be run out of the state. But under this system of greater accountability and swifter action to close failing charters, yeah I mean you can lift the ban, but you can't lift the ban in a laissez-faire way, you have to lift the ban in the context of putting in place the stronger measurements.
You can check out Ohio's full report card below.

Additional Information
More information about this loan
This loan is part of the innovative "Poverty Stoplight" program developed by Fundación Paraguaya for women living in poverty. A "stoplight" measurement tool is used to help borrowers self-identify the type of poverty that affects them most (lack of income, dearth of financial opportunities, poor living conditions etc.). Borrowers rate 50 areas of their life as green (not poor), yellow (poor) or red (extremely poor). Together with their loan officer, they come up with a plan to resolve yellow and red indicators. Through this program, Fundación Paraguaya hopes to lift 9,000 women and their families out of poverty by 2017.
To learn more about this unique approach to eliminating poverty, you can read this article on Fundación Paraguaya's website.
About Fundación ParaguayaFundación Paraguaya is a financially self-sustaining social enterprise that promotes entrepreneurship in urban and rural areas through microfinance, education programs, and more. Its focus on agriculture has helped many farmers boost their crop yields. And a number of other borrowers have taken out loans to start and grow social businesses that have helped deliver eyeglasses, medicines and other helpful services in their local communities.
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.

What are we looking for?
An update on the U.S. growth-stock strategy that we outlined on Dec. 13. Our notion back then was to search for American stocks with attractive outlooks and improving profitability.
More about today's screen
Craig McGee, senior consultant at CPMS Morningstar Canada, created the screen. He ranked 2,271 U.S. companies on a variety of criteria, and selected the top 20 stocks with a market cap greater than $1-billion (U.S.). To guard against too much focus on any single industry, he allowed no more than five stocks from any one sector.
The criteria he examined were:
four-year average return on equity (ROE);
three-month consensus 2012 earnings-per-share (EPS) estimate revisions;
Annual rate of change of ROE;
Annual rate of change of EPS;
Annual rate of change of revenue;

Any problem with running a Dura Ace cogset in 105 group?

Some older D/A cogsets may have different spacing, but most don't. Old uniglide cogs won't fit on hyperglide bodies without some grinding. Also, D/A cogs are mostly aluminum (maybe the newer ones are titanium, though), and that is a soft metal. These cogs wear quickly. If you are looking at used D/A cogs, check them very closely!
Je vais à vélo, donc je suis!
As D*Alex says, be careful. If you notice a lot of cassette related stuff says something like "works with all Shimano except Dura-Ace or older Dura-Ace. If you are looking for inexpensive cassettes check nashbar.com. The have HG70 (105) 9-speed cassettes on sale for $32.95. I think Ultegras are just over $40. I see people offering the same cassettes USED for more on Ebay. I stick with HG70 (105) because you can pull them apart and play with them. Even the ones that appear to be riveted together are actually assembled with tiny 1.5 mm allen head screws that come right out. I like being able to put together exactly the gearing I want since D*Alex won't let me put a triple crank on my Bianchi.

If it ain't broke, mess with it anyway!
I'm looking at a new Dura Ace cogset (strictly from a weight savings view) so my main concern is that as long as I get a 9 spd and it is HG like my 105 is then I won't have any problems. Correct?
I want to do it now while my drivetrain is new and not broken in plus that will leave me a good 105 backup as well.

It should work, save you about 6 oz, and will wear out in about 2 months (if you ride heavily).

You got 105 9s and want Dura Ace 9s cassette - Will they work? Of course.
I even have with Record 9s no problem. *

The Dance of Intimacy
Daily OM: 'Anyone in a long-term relationship knows that the dance of intimacy involves coming together and moving apart. Early in a relationship, intense periods of closeness are important in order to establish the ground of a new union. Just as a sapling needs a lot more attention than a full-grown tree, budding relationships demand time and attention if they are to fully take root. Once they become more established, the individuals in the union begin to turn their attention outward again, to the other parts of their lives that matter, such as work, family, and friendships. This is natural and healthy. Yet, if a long-term relationship is to last, turning towards one another recurrently, with the same curiosity, attention, and nurturance of earlier times, is essential. In a busy and demanding world full of obligations and opportunities, we sometimes lose track of our primary relationships, thinking they will tend to themselves...read more>>>...

Hours after the devastating 7.0-magnitude earthquake that shook the island of Haiti, [artist id="1162″]Wyclef Jean[/artist] put out a plea to anyone with information about the whereabouts of Haitian rapper Jimmy O, who is a part of 'Clef's nonprofit Yele Haiti foundation .
"I urge everyone who's listening right now that knows how great this kid is in Haiti — I need y'all to verify this information," he said during a CNN interview. "It would be a terrible loss for us."
On Friday (January 15), CNN confirmed that O, 35, who had reportedly traveled to the island to work on a mixtape, had died in the quake. According to reports, O was crushed while driving around downtown Port-au-Prince.
CNN was on the scene when O's body was discovered Friday and watched as a man examined the body and pulled the artist's passport from his pocket, verifying the corpse as that of Jean "Jimmy O" Jimmy Alexandre.
Agent Robert Dominique was also present at the discovery of the body and verified his identity. "His loss will be tremendous in Haiti," Dominique said. He said that in addition to helping run the Yele Haiti charity, O also developed new talent and artists in Haiti.
The grief-stricken mother of the musician and his wife and two of his three children were present at the scene and were reportedly joined by a crowd that was also overcome with emotion over the loss.
As of Friday morning, Yele Haiti had raised more than $2 million from mobile giving, according to Albe Angel, CEO of Miami-based Give on the Go, the mobile-communications company working with nonprofit Yele Haiti to coordinate donations. In addition to food distribution and emergency relief, Yele Haiti has provided thousands of scholarships to children since its founding in 2004.

Customer-Service Perceptions and Reality
Becker, Wendy S., Wellins, Richard S., Training & Development Journal
Customer-Service Perceptions and Reality
Is the customer always right? If so, corporations have a long way to go in improving customer-service training. Customers' perceptions of service quality are alarmingly different from the perceptions of front-line employees, says this study. Jane Miller walked away from the airport restaurant in disgust. She was close to missing her plane thanks to the restaurant's slow service, and her encounter with the uncooperative waiter had left her even angrier. After a long, hard week of training, the unpleasant experience stuck in her mind. Even though she travels weekly, and had found the restaurant convenient and the food good, Jane vowed she would never go back there again.
How often we hear stories like that one! Poor service can turn the most loyal, devoted customer into a former customer.
But it doesn't stop there. Chances are, Jane shared her bad experience with others. Research shows that the typical dissatisfied customer tells at least 10 other people about the poor service; many tell up to 20 people! The implication is clear: the airport restaurant lost a regular customer who probably influenced several more.
Most organizations stress the value of excellent customer service. A large number, however, only pay lip service to that value. Today, our service sector lies on the cusp of tremendous change. The huge growth in service-related industries, concurrent with the decline in available workers to fill service positions, will lead to an employment crunch in the 1990s. Employers will have a hard time finding-- and keeping--dedicated, hard-working customer-service people who will meet their customers' needs.
A perceptions study
In the past few years there's been a tremendous amount of research into customer-service issues. Very little of that research, however, focuses on the skills, abilities, and motivations customer-service people need to do their jobs successfully. Since these people represent the key link between customers and the service organization, the critically of their role cannot be overstated.
For that reason, we recently conducted a research study in conjunction with several major organizations. This innovative study had four major purposes: * to identify the dimensions, or job behaviors, required for effective customer service, from the viewpoint of both customers and customer-service people; * to assess the degree of proficiency with which the dimensions are performed from both perspectives; * to examine the impact of customer service on customer behavior; * to explore any differences between the perceptions of customers and those of customer-service people.
Our first step was to identify a list of dimensions we believed would relate to effective customer service. We examined more than 100 books and articles on customer service, reviewed numerous job analyses from our database on dozens of customer-service positions, and finally identified 17 dimensions of customer service. To check the accuracy of these dimensions and their definitions, we had them reviewed by a panel of job experts. You can find the revised list of dimensions with their definitions in the sidebar.
To get both the customers' and the customer-service people's perspectives on customer service, we devised two survey questionnaires constructed around the dimensions. Respondents rated each dimension on two scales, importance and proficiency. The importance scale asked respondents, "How important do you feel this dimension is to effective customer service?" Possible responses ranged from 5 (extremely important) to 1 (not important). The proficiency scale asked respondents, "How well do you feel customer-service people use this dimension when they interact?" Again, the responses ranged from 5 (always done well) to 1 (never done well).
More than 1,300 customers from a wide geographic range (including the United States, Canada, and Great Britain) completed one survey. …

Low tide lifting, on a shingle shore,
Long-sunk islands from the sea once more:

Gulls reflecting in the sharp spring sun;
Pink-washed plaster by a sheltered patch,
Ilex shadows upon velvet thatch:
What interiors those names suggest!
Queen of lodgings in the warm south-west....

Steven Adams gets revenge by absolutely posterizing Draymond GreenDan Devine at Ball Don't Lie8 mins ago
Draymond Green became Public Enemy No. 1 in Oklahoma after delivering a swift kick to the nether-regions of Oklahoma City Thunder center Steven Adams during Game 3 of the 2016 Western Conference finals, an act that many felt merited a suspension for the Golden State Warriors forward, but one that the NBA declined to punish by sitting Green down for a game. While plenty of Thunder fans were enraged by what they perceived as a serious injustice, Adams just laid in wait ... until the second quarter of Game 6, when it was time for him to seek vengeance:

Warriors-Thunder Game 6: Three things to watchDan Devine at Ball Don't Lie4 hrs ago
The Golden State Warriors survived on Thursday, holding off a late Oklahoma City Thunder charge to earn a 120-111 win in Game 5 of the 2016 Western Conference finals behind strong play from several contributors, headlined by the 31 points, seven rebounds, six assists and five steals produced by back-to-back NBA Most Valuable Player Stephen Curry. The win cut OKC's lead in the best-of-seven series to 3-2, and showed the Warriors were capable of bouncing back after the Thunder absolutely ran them off the floor in Games 3 and 4 to draw within one win of an NBA Finals berth.
LeBron and Kyrie carry Cavs past Raptors, into 2nd straight FinalsEric Freeman at Ball Don't Lie22 hrs ago
It took a little longer than most expected, but the Cleveland Cavaliers have clinched their second-straight trip to the NBA Finals. The Cavs beat the Toronto Raptors 113-87 in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals on Friday night, reversing unexpected road losses in Games 3 and 4 to go along with three blowout wins in Cleveland. The Cavaliers await either the Golden State Warriors or Oklahoma City Thunder and will attempt to claim the first championship in franchise history and first major title for Cleveland since 1964 when the finals begin on Thursday.
Not surprisingly, LeBron James was the star of the night for the Cavaliers. The franchise icon scored 33 points (13-of-22 FG, 3-of-6 3FG), grabbed 11 rebounds, dished out six assists, and blocked three shots in a commanding performance, ensuring that his team would not have to return home for a Game 7 on Sunday. LeBron had not scored 30 points in 13 prior games this postseason, the longest such drought to open a playoffs in his career. He had previously waited no longer than the third game of the postseason to score 30.Fri, 27 MayCleveland113 - 87TorontoGame Recap
Okafor, Noel rumors show that the Sixers' 'Process' is truly overEric Freeman at Ball Don't Lie1 day ago
The end of "The Process" for the Philadelphia 76ers was always sure to claim several victims beyond its leader, ex-general manager Sam Hinkie. The new regime headed by Bryan Colangelo plans to win sooner rather than later, and that will mean selling off current and future considerations for new players. Indefinite future draft picks do not have livelihoods to change, but the players now on the roster do.
[Follow Dunks Don't Lie on Tumblr: The best slams from all of basketball]
It appears that Colangelo could start to rebuild the team by trading away one of its highest-potential players. According to a report from Marc Stein and Chad Ford of ESPN.com, centers Jahlil Okafor and Nerlens Noel are on the trading block in an attempt to bring in backcourt help or another top draft pick:
Russell Westbrook, Kevin Durant find Stephen Curry's defense funnyBen Rohrbach at Ball Don't Lie1 day ago
When you're the unanimous MVP and the greatest shooter in history, everything about your game gets glorified, which is probably why Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry picked up three First Team All-Defensive votes, even though backcourt mate Klay Thompson generally draws the tougher guard.
And when Curry came up with a clutch steal against Oklahoma City Thunder star Kevin Durant that all but iced a 120-111 victory in the waning moments of Game 5, Durant and teammate Russell Westbrook were asked by ESPN reporter Michelle Steele whether the NBA's steals leader was "underrated as a defender."
The question was a good one, because it drew a glorious response from both Westbrook and Durant.
Curry, Warriors outlast Thunder, will play at least 1 more gameEric Freeman at Ball Don't Lie1 day ago
Your browser does not support iframes.
The Oklahoma City Thunder's stunning blowout wins in Games 3 and 4 of the Western Conference Finals inspired a number of questions about the record-setting Golden State Warriors. Was unanimous MVP Stephen Curry too hurt to make a big impact? Did their 73-win regular season obscure problems against more athletic, taller teams? And would Monday's Game 5 at Oracle Arena serve as the extremely disappointing final chapter to a season that until recently looked set to become one of the greatest in NBA history?

How Andre Roberson totally changed the Western Conference finalsDan Devine at Ball Don't Lie2 days ago
When the Oklahoma City Thunder went to the 2012 NBA finals, they seemed to have everything. Youth, talent and athleticism; a dominant scoring forward; the game's explosive point guard; an emerging interior defensive menace; and a reserve wing playmaker who, when deployed alongside the first two, made them nearly indefensible.
Then they lost in the finals, as young teams do. Then the realities of roster management and fear of a cap-strapped future in luxury-tax hell set in. Then James Harden got traded, and ever since, Oklahoma City has had a hole on the wing that it's never quite been able to fill.
[Follow Dunks Don't Lie on Tumblr: The best slams from all of basketball]
Thabo Sefolosha, though very good at what he did, he couldn't fill it. Neither could Kevin Martin. Nor could Jeremy Lamb or Perry Jones. Reggie Jackson came closest, but that fit never really fit, and it ended in a beef that's still broiling.

The Thunder need a Game 5 win on Thursday night, in Oakland against the famed 73-win Warriors, to make the NBA Finals. Fighting for its legacy, the Warriors will attempt to pull together for one last round. Scratch that, "two more chances at making it to the next round."

Kyle Lowry's reaction to Game 5's stat sheet contains multitudesDan Devine at Ball Don't Lie2 days ago
There were some things worth discussing after the Cleveland Cavaliers decimated the Toronto Raptors in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference finals on Thursday — Kevin Love's resurgence, the return of Cleveland's shot-making, the way the Cavaliers' blitzing of pick-and-rolls featuring Kyle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan totally short-circuited the Raptors' offense, etc. I know; I wrote about those things.
Sometimes, though, that old saw about a picture being worth 1,000 words really holds true ... and seeing Lowry's reaction to the Game 5 stat sheet as he sat down for his post-game press conference with DeRozan just about said it all:

Whiplash, although officially classed as a minor injury, can lead to long painful and debilitating symptoms for many years. Not uncommon in frontal and side crashes, whiplash most often occurs in low speed, rear crashes. Whiplash costs insurers over £2 billion in claims costs in the UK each year.
Thatcham are a founder member of the International Insurance Whiplash Prevention Group (IIWPG), a collection of like-minded insurance research centres throughout the world that have worked together to formulate a dynamic test protocol for whiplash prevention.The procedure is the very first international dynamic test for whiplash evaluation and is undertaken in Europe by Thatcham and in the USA by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
Thatcham's crash facility is equipped with a Hyper G Sled, which is able to recreate the typical forces in a low speed rear impact. The seat is placed on our Hyper-G test sled and accelerated to 10 mph (16 km/h) in a tenth of a second, recreating the forces endured by an occupant in a typical low speed crash. The accelerations and forces imparted to the specially designed Biofidelic Rear Impact Dummy are recorded for detailed analysis.
Technicians are then able to measure the effectiveness of different seats and head restraints and using the data have been able to encourage manufacturers to improve designs to a point where more than 70% of tested seats are now rated as 'good' or 'acceptable'.
Regardless of the effectiveness of a particular seat or head restraint motorists can help themselves by adjusting their head restraints. Head restraints should be positioned as close to the back of the head as possible (touching is best) and the top of the restraint should be as high as the top of the head.

Summary:In a big city in Poland, many people are joined in one need -- troubled by loneliness, they want to talk to someone. Some of them call an emergency number, even if it is not really necessary. Others call the radio. This time the subject of the broadcast is the end of the world predicted by the Mayan calendar. The speaker asks the listeners what it actually means to each one of them. They talk about things that are tragic and painful, and sometimes small and funny. Their need to be heard, to communicate, to share their experience with someone else is evident.

The Boston Marathon bombing drama Patriots' Day's has put together an incredible ensemble cast. And it's not just because it includes both John Goodman and J.K. Simmons.
Mark Wahlbergs upcoming film Patriots Day will explore the tragedy of the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing as well as the men and women who answered the call of duty following that terrible act. The film already has a star-studded cast, and has just enlisted one of our all time favorites: John Goodman.
Aside from the obvious inclusion of a giant ape wrecking things and causing a ruckus, we haven't heard much about the plot of Kong: Skull Island, though a new report is changing that.
The upcoming feature-length animated adaptation of the popular video game franchise Ratchet and Clank just added an impressive array of talent for their supporting cast of voices. It is being reported that Sylvester Stallone, John Goodman, Rosario Dawson, Bella Thorne and Paul Giamatti have all been added to the 3D animated epic
With the 87th annual Academy Awards upon us, weve assembled a list of 15 brilliant, currently working actors who amazingly have never been up for Hollywoods highest honor. Who are the names? Read on to find out!
With the fall comes a slew of movies that are gearing for Oscar gold. Then as we move into the winter, a slate of big, flashy blockbusters pile up, demanding our attention. So how do you cut through all this clamor when you're a mid-level thriller about a professor with a gambling addiction? You unleash a trailer like The Gambler's, full of camp appeal and f-bombs, lazily chucked by the always awesome John Goodman.
John Goodman is no stranger to a busy work schedule, and the fact that he's looking to sign onto another project is no surprise. What might be surprising is the fact that while he's re-teaming with a co-star from a previous picture, they never really got to act together until now.
The suspense thriller follows a young girl (not Goodman) who finds herself in an underground cellar after a car accident, told by a mysterious caretaker (Goodman!) that a nuclear attack has ravaged the ground above. It's unclear what happens next, though it's very obviously a two-person struggle in a tight spot, the sort of set-up that doesn't require a whole lot of budgetary maneuvering.
The announcement comes directly from Michael Bay's official website, and actually identifies the roles that Goodman and Watanabe will be playing in the movie (something that has become a bit of a rarity in modern blockbusters). Goodman will be voicing Hound, whom Transformers fans may remember is able to turn into a Jeep or humvee.
In the film, the trio star as Walter Garfield, Richard Campbell and Preston Savitz, respectively, three members of the seven-man outfit known as The Monuments Men.
Adding John Goodman to any movie is a way to better pique our interest. So a tip of the hat to Paramount, which has added the consummate character actor who recently stole scenes in the Coen Brothers' Inside Llewyn Davis to their growing ensemble for the remake of The Gambler.
The trailer above gives us some insight into Inside Llewyn Davis, and some justification for our intense anticipation. Along with a bittersweet tone of a musician struggling to make sense of himself, his work, and life in general, we get a peak of Isaac, Mulligan, Timberlake and Goodman in action.
The Hangover Part III promises to be a very different kind of movie than the previous two - most notably by not rehashing the bachelor party/forgotten night plotline - but there are some elements that will be carried over. One such element is the shadowy, intimidating figure portrayed by an A-list dramatic actor.
What better way to spend the celebratory day of Easter than to listen to a bunch of big dudes hollering? Theyre like loud Easter eggs, really, with language just as colorful as the pastel hues of whatever vinegar-and-food coloring combination is being used. As a rather hefty kid, I used to do my own yelling about never getting any PAAS kits...
Todd Phillips was able to wrangle Paul Giamatti for a solid part in The Hangover Part II, and now it looks like the director might be able to get yet another highly respected actor into the franchise. John Goodman is now in talks to play a villainous role in The Hangover Part III. The film is currently in pre-production and will be aiming to hit its release date on May 24th.
Goodman will play the ultimate boss to Vaughn and Wilson, who are unemployed salesmen vying for a coveted internship position at a cutting-edge tech company. Needless to say, both men are behind on the tech learning curve, and face stiff competition from other, younger interns.
The film tells the story of an aging baseball scout, played by Clint Eastwood, who is getting ready to retire due to his failing eyesight. As one final job, he decides to go on a road trip to Atlanta to check out a hot new prospect, bringing his daughter (Amy Adams) along for the ride. Goodman will play a character named Pete Klein, who is another baseball scout and a believer that Eastwood's character isn't ready to retire just yet.
John Goodman has a lot of amazing movies and performances on his resume, but without question his best work comes when he's working with Joel and Ethan Coen. From his turn as serial killer Karl Madman" Mundt in Barton Fink to the Vietnam-obsessed Walter Sobchak in The Big Lebowski, every time the actor works with the Coen brothers it's pure gold.
This will be their feature film debut, and theyve landed some big names for vocal casting. In addition to Smit-McPhee, ParaNorman boasts the voices of John Goodman, Anna Kendrick, Casey Affleck, Jeff Garlin, Leslie Mann and Broadway legend Elaine Stritch. It wont be in theaters until August 2012, so this truly is a teaser. But it gives us an idea of whats in store, and so far, Im intrigued.
Cant get enough Goodman? Boy, are you in luck. The actor currently can be seen in Kevin Smiths Red State. He also has two films heading to theaters before the end of the year in Michel Hazanavicius The Artist and Stephen Daldrys anticipated Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close opposite Tom Hanks and Sandra Bullock. Hes currently shooting Ben Afflecks Argo, and will be heard in multiple animated features

I just bought an Ideale saddle for 70 bucks and I dont think it has been used in about 25 years or so..The color was coming off onto my pants so I went to the hardware store and they gave me a spar urethane which is supposed to seal it. But it wouldnt dry even after like 2 or 3 days so i took it to a leather person and he sealed it with some glue or something. But i road my bike for about 5 hours yesterdayy and it was coming off again. And also I just accidently rubbed the saddle against my wall really hard and the color came off onto the wall and left a brown spot on the saddle (it is black) The guy also recolored it I think.
What do I do? Ive spent 55$ bucks trying to repair it (20$ at hardware 35$ at leather person) Should I just buy another saddle? Will this happen again if I get another one?

THE YEAR 1940 UNFOLDED IN SHROUDS of pessimism. But a faith reached out and took hold of us--a belief in America. We had not found satisfactory solutions to our problems but one great truth emerged. We knew without a doubt that our democracy offered individual freedom and opportunity--a way of life incomparably beyond anything that other systems of government had offered. Hitler had shown us the evils of dictatorship; Russia, the afflictions of communism. And between these, democracy shone with a new brilliance. Life was free and secure. We were deeply blessed by Providence.
But our way of life allowed full freedom for all the orneriness in human nature. We had pettiness in officials, crookedness in local governments, a reluctance on the part of everyone to jump into our defense requirements. Enlistments in the Army lagged, business refused to expand for greater production, and labor racketeers fattened on the confusion of bureaucracy.
Never had life dangled so much opportunity within reach

The absinthe Coeur d'Absinthe - Double Distillation recieved a bronze medal at the 2009 Absinthiades in Pontarlier.
The ancient recipe of this sugarless absinthe is obtained especially by distillation of a mixture of green anise and wormwood. However, many other plants, finely selected, are also part of its composition: star anise, fennel, gentian or even mugwort.
A discovery to be missed neither from the novices nor from the connoisseurs !

|Steel Screw Cap
- Alain Aurregio, heir of the Lemercier distillery, had not commercialized any new product since 2004 when the Abisinthe Amer 72 came out. This is why the absinthe Coeur d'Absinthe - Double Distillation is even more interesting !
- During the Belle Epoque, after Pontarlier, Fougerolles had the highest number of producers of absinthe. Sometimes some of the casks used in Fougerolles were sent to Pontarlier to cover their needs.
Lemercier distillery is a family firm founded in 1811. It has always been in the hands of the founder, Nicolas Desle Lemercier's family.
Since 1991, after having achieved commercial studies, Alain Aureggio, also member of the Lemercier family, is at the head of the family firm.
- At first, savour Coeur d'Absinthe – Double distillation with a piece of sugar. Then add more or less according to your taste.
- For one measure of absinthe (3cl), add 2 to 5 measure of fresh water.
- The best anise and wormwood taste
My favourite absinthe. I love it. Really sweet and fine, a great taste of anise and wormwood.(Posted on 28/06/2013)

Private Space: A Free-Market Approach to Space Exploration
JEFF ZINSMEISTER, Global Notebook Editor, Harvard International Review
Since Sputnik was first placed into Earth orbit in 1957, space exploration has remained almost exclusively under the auspices of government. The tremendous costs and national security interests of the Cold War effectively barred private participation within the final frontier. With the exception of communication satellites, government-sponsored research, and vendor activities for government space programs, private industry has played a minor role. Even after the Cold War, governments still stand as the only route to space flight.
On a day in 2000, however, a tiny probe landing on a near-Earth asteroid may change the face of space exploration forever. There is nothing novel concerning the mission per se, which will take measurements of water and mineral composition of the rock. Still, it will mark a milestone in space flight. This 500 kilogram piece of metal will not only be the first private spacecraft to leave Earth's orbit, but also the first to rendezvous with and land on another planetary body. It will be privately funded in its entirety, and the data it collects will be offered on the market like any other commodity, available to whomever is willing to pay for it.
The project is the Near Earth Asteroid Prospector (NEAP), the brainchild of ex-software mogul Jim Benson, the CEO and founder of the Colorado-based Space Development (SpaceDev). Modeled after the 1997 Near Earth Asteroid Rendezvous (NEAR), a project of the National Aeronautic and Space Administration (NASA), NEAP is a private attempt to accomplish what government can do, only more cheaply and without the cumbersome bureaucracy.
SpaceDev is a unique company in the space industry; it identifies itself simply as "a private corporation engaged in the commercialization of space exploration." Its mission statement belies SpaceDev's radical ideas. Benson seeks a revolutionary departure from the glory days of government space programs--his success may mark a radical shift in how the world perceives space exploration and how governments and corporations do business together in space. SpaceDev's existence exemplifies the coming changes in space exploration. The statistics alone are notable, as NEAP comes at a time when commercial revenues exceeded government expenditures in space for the first time in history. As private industries take up a once exclusively public endeavor, NEAP is a fascinating microcosm of the evolution of space programs worldwide after the Cold War, one that is at both a reflection of past changes and a taste of things to come.
Project Structure
The anatomy of the NEAP project itself is a novel concept. Since the project is funded entirely with private money, profit and investor security is the overriding concern. Returns on investments are critical, which has been a difficult task given the high costs and risks normally involved in space exploration. Costs have been kept to a minimum, with projected expenditures pegged at around US$40 million. Innovative programs to ensure NEAP's success and control costs have been implemented to attract investors, such as SpaceDev's cooperation with the academic world. Students and professors at the University of California at San Diego, New Mexico State University, and the University of Texas at Austin have been working with SpaceDev on all aspects of spacecraft design and flight logistics. Although Benson has invested a significant amount of his own money in the expedition, more has been raised through the sale of equity in the company, via a private placement of stock in an existing trading company. However, given the difficult logistics and high risks involved, putting NEAP in space will require some creative business decisions. The academic teams are making every effort to ensure success in a mission in which countless mishaps can occur. Furthermore, Benson is insuring equipment and investments on board NEAP to assuage fears of mission failure and the loss of scientific equipment. …

First Pitch: A Ten Day Decision
The Pirates optioned Daniel Moskos down to Triple-A, which puts the team one cut away from their final roster.
Yamaico Navarro, Josh Harrison, and Matt Hague will battle for the two bench spots remaining.
Jared Hughes and Chris Leroux will battle for the final bullpen spot.
The Pirates will then have to decide whether to keep an extra bench player or an extra bullpen spot.
I mentioned last week that my preference would be an extra bullpen spot. Early in the season you're not going to get a lot of pitchers going deep in to their outings. It would be more beneficial for the team to carry that extra pitcher, as opposed to a sixth bat off the bench. The entire reasoning behind the extra bench bat seems to be centered around avoiding a tough decision between Hague, Harrison, and Navarro.

HP Officejet 4500 printers are no doubt very much convenient and efficient for a long term working purpose. I have a HP officejet 4500 printer at my office which is connected with a wired Ethernet connection. Now the issue with this printer is that I am completely unable to scan through this printer for some reason. There is not even a single problem with the printing a document or a copy, the printer does the printing job and other thing absolutely fine but then dont know for what reason its failing to scan anything. As far as I remember I never did any sort of changes to my computer or did any kind of experimenting activity with the main system or other network connected computers. There is no problem while scanning with the other computers that are on the network, it scans with them without giving any trouble but then when it comes to the main computer I always end up getting an error message saying HP Imaging device not found.
Did all the possible things until now but everything failed, no solutions are even able to stop this error message. Rebooted the system then unplugged the printer, also uninstalled the software and then reinstalled them but nothing worked. Believing that there must be something wrong with the installer I also uninstalled and then re-downloaded the installer from the official site of HP, but that doesnt seems to be working at all. Then I was also suggested to check out the firewall settings but when I checked the firewall setting trust me there was nothing I found over there that would give me a reason to doubt the firewall setting. The entire computer that are running on the network are having windows 7 64bit installed into them including the one that is not at all working with the scanning. The other entire windows 7 64 bit machines are working fine then whats wrong with this one? another thing I would like to say is that always whenever I get HP Imaging device not found error message I also end up getting some sort of numbers that are mentioned below the error message they are 8, [ ( 1, 0, -2147221496)]. Please suggest something.

ATLANTA - Baggy pants that show boxer shorts or thongs would be illegal under a proposed amendment to Atlanta's indecency laws.
The amendment, sponsored by Atlanta City Councilman C.T. Martin, states that sagging pants are an "epidemic" that is becoming a "major concern" around the country.
"Little children see it and want to adopt it, thinking it's the in thing," Martin said Wednesday. "I don't want young people thinking that half-dressing is the way to go. I want them to think about their future."
The proposed ordinance also would bar women from showing the strap of a thong beneath their pants. They would also be prohibited from wearing jogging bras in public or show a bra strap, said Debbie Seagraves, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Georgia.
The proposed ordinance states that "the indecent exposure of his or her undergarments" would be unlawful in a public place. It would go in the same portion of the city code that outlaws sex in public and the exposure or fondling of genitals.
The penalty would be a fine in an amount to be determined, Martin said.
But Seagraves said any legislation that creates a dress code would not survive a court challenge. She said the law could not be enforced in a nondiscriminatory way because it targets something that came out of the black youth culture.
"This is a racial profiling bill that promotes and establishes a framework for an additional type of racial profiling," Seagraves said.
Martin, who is black, said he plans to hold public hearings and vet the proposal through churches, civil rights groups and neighborhood organizations. The proposal will get its first public airing next Tuesday in the council's Public Safety Committee.

SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) — Spokane Mayor Mary Verner says she will ask the U.S. Department of Justice to conduct a review of the Spokane Police Department.
The review is like an audit that will seek to identify patterns or practices that either deprive individuals of their rights or that lead to discrimination.
The Spokane department has come under some harsh criticism for a case in which an officer was recently convicted in the case of a man who died at the hands of police in a convenience store five years ago.
The Justice Department must agree to perform the review.
