For fairness in blogging, I feel compelled to write about the relatively new Brookings report "Evaluating Teachers: The Important Role of Value-Added" that takes a different perspective on using (value-added) student achievement data than the EPI report ("Problems with the use of student test scores to evaluate teachers") released a few months ago.
Both studies were co-authored by a large group of distinguished researchers, so there is lots of food for thought in this debate. But let's be clear that this is not just another case of "top researchers disagree on facts, so I can just ignore all of that confusing research and support what my gut says."
The EPI researchers point out many flaws in the current technologies of using student value-added achievement data, and therefore recommend against its use in high-stakes decisions (like teacher rewards or firing). The Brookings researchers agree that there are many flaws in value-added data, but ask the reasonable question "compared to what," noting that other current methods of evaluating teachers are not very good either.
So it is more an issue of interpretation than what the facts are.
Perhaps the most interesting thing the Brookings researchers do is look at one problem with value added data, the low correlation for a given teacher across years (the same teacher compared in year 1, 2 and 3), with parallel correlations in other domains, like baseball batting averages, insurance salesperson rankings, mutual fund performance rankings, etc.
The relatively low correlation of year-to-year teacher's rankings (0.3-0.4 range) has been cited by critics as a reason not to use value-added data, since it appears to have too much measurement "noise" to be as accurate as we would like (that is, in a disturbing large number of cases, the same teacher is ranked as "good" one year, and then "bad" the next year.)
The Brookings researchers suggest that the "noise" is not greater than what we see in these other domains and that this is an argument to use value-added for high-stakes decisions, even with its flaws. In some sense, this is argument by analogy, the accuracy of which we should examine.
First we have to think about whether we believe a teacher varies greatly in her performance over time. Does a teacher have a "true type" (good, bad, average) and our challenge is to sample and measure that (pretty consistent) "type" correctly, or does the teacher actually vary greatly in her ability over time? (see my earlier blog on this topic.)
If we think the teacher type is relatively "fixed" than the low correlation is a big problem, and it represents "noise" and our inability to sample well enough to find the "true type." Personally, that perspective makes more sense than a belief that teacher quality varies greatly from year to year.
Second, let's examine the analogies more carefully. Hitting a baseball thrown 60 feet at 90 miles per hour is a notoriously difficult and fickle skill – concentration and mental state do seem to matter a great deal – perhaps also so does the quality of pitching, non-random choices about which hitter to put up against which pitcher (lefty against righty, fastball versus curveball), etc.
It makes sense to me that top hitters one year might be less effective the next year, when they might be facing a divorce, or a contract year, or whatever. Also, baseball players are well-known to be highly compensated, perhaps partly for the risky elements of their performance over time.
This seems to me a weak analogy to a teacher who has six hours and 180 days a year in a more self-controlled environment to perform "good, bad or average."
Second, let's look at mutual fund performance. Here, from living 15 years in NYC, where the financial markets are eaten for breakfast, I am quite confident that the top investors in boom times (buy more tech stocks in 1997!) are also likely to be among the worst investors in downturns (buy more tech stocks in 2000!) or slow growth periods (when the top performers are cautious, diverse portfolio investors).
Academic studies of financial markets strongly suggest "random walks" and very little likelihood that we should expect high correlations across years in top performers, making this, again a poor analogy.
Third, insurance sales seem similar to financial investment to me – perhaps during good economic times a particular type of salesperson is more easily able to get families to spend money on insurance – it might require a different set of skills to be a high sales performer in a recession. Thus, the low correlation is in fact caused by factors outside the salespersons' control (as with the financial markets, and probably partly in baseball too).
Their best analogy might seem to be the use of ACT/SAT scores for college admission despite a relatively low correlation with student GPAs (and the fact that no other measurable admissions factor has a higher correlation). While I first found this argument more compelling, it is severely flawed by the fact that they are now correlating two different things – actual student course achievement and a specific test – not the same thing over multiple years – a statistician would expect more "noise" in correlating two different things.
So it seems that the Brookings researchers can't have this both ways. Either you believe teacher type is fairly fixed, and then the low correlation is really a problem with our measurement technologies and a true problem with using the data.
Or you believe that teachers' quality varies as much as professionals in these other fields, where it seems quite clear that much of this variation is a function of the external environment. Many teachers have argued that their lack of control over their environment is a major barrier to how much they can move students achievement – the non-random assignment of teachers to groups of students, the variation in students from year to year, variations in other supports in the school, changing curricula, etc.
So where does this leave us in a discussion that is not just theoretical? After all, Colorado's State Council for Educator Effectiveness is working, even as we blog, on implementing the SB 191 requirement that 50 percent of a teacher's high-stakes evaluation be based upon student achievement. Researchers agree that value-added has problems – they disagree about how severe those problems are, and whether focusing too much on these flaws, and not on problems with other forms of evaluation, makes the "perfect the enemy of the good."
My belief is that there are many current problems with using value-added – some are fixable, with more and better tests, with better administration of tests (to avoid outright cheating and overly teaching to the tests), and with a clear understanding of the challenges created.
But other problems are not easily fixable, and perhaps we don't want to fix them because they have value within schools – the non-random assignment of students to teachers within a school, the group nature of teaching, especially in higher grades, the difficulty assessing performance improvement in the arts, physical education, and other domains.
These issues suggest using value-added data very carefully, and as only one component in a meaningful, high-stakes teacher evaluation system.

This column was written by CBS News Early Show Co-Anchor Harry Smith.
Sarah Palin got to be Sarah Palin Thursday night, and America got to see some of the spunk and fire that helped persuade John McCain to name her as his running mate.
Feisty she is, and not afraid to own where she's from. There's something admirable about that.
Joe Biden was careful not to be too Joe Biden. And he succeeded at not allowing himself to indulge in some of the rhetoric that in the past has gotten him in trouble.
This Joe Biden 3.0 comes with all the policy experience and little less of the trimmings.
For fans of both parties, there was plenty to like about their respective candidates' performances. Many of the pundits called it a draw.
But in the CBS overnight poll of undecided voters, Biden was the clear winner.
This morning I spoke with a former FBI profiler, Joe Navarro, who is an expert on body language. He said they both did well.
But while Palin came off mayoral, it was Biden who looked presidential.

8 Ways to Love Your Body, Celebrity-Style
Cellulite sucks because, well, if your mom has it, chances are you do too (aka it's genetic). Lumpy, bumpy skin is caused when fat presses up against the vertical connective tissue that surrounds fat cells in our thighs, for example. This creates a bulging of the cells, resulting in a dimpled effect (picture your skin pushing through fishnet stockings).
But even if it runs in your family, there are ways to minimize its appearance...
A healthy diet plays an important role in keeping the signs of cellulite at bay. Eat plenty of fiber and whole grain foods (such as bran and oat cereals), since they help to remove waste and toxins from the intestinal tract, as well as fruits and vegetables.
Also, drink plenty of agua. If you increase your daily intake of water, your body will begin to shed its excess fat, including the fat stored as cellulite. The water will also help strengthen the collagen in your skin, helping to reduce the lumpy look.
Since cellulite is fat, excess weight can contribute to it. That's why it's important to engage in physical exercise like walking, jogging, swimming, yoga, etc., several times a week.

May 30, 2016
Currently, drug companies are not required to reveal safety test results. And in Michigan, they are granted the highest court privilege in the nation. According to House Democratic Leader Dianne Byrum, that needs to change.
"Citizens who feel they've been harmed do not have access to the courts to state the facts of the case because drug companies have a privileged status. But they need to be held accountable when their drugs harm or kill an individual."
This week, House Democrats unveiled a plan that would reverse the current legislation, allowing consumers to bring pharmaceutical companies to court. The proposed law would also require manufacturers to disclose all information regarding drug safety testing.
The legislation is currently ready for a vote. But Rep. Byrum expects it to be held off until after the November election.

Notable readings of the day 05/18/2011
Obama As A "Third Culture Kid" Ctd – The Dish | By Andrew Sullivan – The Daily Beast
you could just as easily argue that TCKs will never know some really important things – can never know them – precisely because they've never had the experience of growing up in one culture which they knew (however erroneously) to be the way the world is.
That isn't simply an indictment of the kind of smug and self-important cosmopolitanism on display in your reader's letter. Nor is it simply a defense of the kind of organic experiential knowledge that is only possible when one is rooted to a particular place and time. At bottom, it is a profound statement about the limits of human knowledge itself.
Travel the world and try to transcend your culture all you want, but you won't ever succeed. Not really. As Alasdair Macintyre put it, we are never more (and sometimes less) than the co-authors of our own narratives. There will always be a part of us that it is the product of the time and place and family in which we first came of age, perhaps especially when we are reacting to that experience and trying to "transcend" it. And even if by some miracle we actually succeeded in that project, then whatever else we may have gained, we will also have lost the ability to be truly a part of any culture from the inside.
The game of "Who sees the world more broadly?" is a silly one to play. And also dangerous in these times when what we really need are shrewd leaders who are so intimately familiar enough with American politics and culture that they not only see the breadth of our problems, but also their depth.
Chavez's influence wanes in Latin America – The Washington Post
these days Chavez's influence is waning across the region as Venezuela's oil-powered economy has gone bust and concerns have been raised about his governing style, which includes the jailing of opponents.
Ever so quietly, some of the Venezuelan populist's biggest projects have been abandoned or mothballed, or have yet to take flight, including a pipeline from Venezuela to Argentina, a South American development bank, housing, highways and a continental investment fund.
Latinobarometro found in a February report that Latin Americans perceived Venezuela to be less democratic than other countries, assigning a 4.3 rating to Venezuela, with 10 being the most democratic.
When the group asked people to rate leaders in the Americas, Chavez finished second to last in its 2010 report. Even in Bolivia and Argentina, countries with warm relations with Venezuela, fewer than 35 percent of those polled had a favorable opinion of Chavez.

McCain vs Mukasey – The Dish | By Andrew Sullivan – The Daily Beast
what Thiessen articulates is, in many ways, more disturbing.
What we are talking about is a system of violence and torture against whole swathes of prisoners to turn them into wreckages lacking human autonomy. The idea is that this makes them more likely to tell the truth because they have lost the will to resist. So Gitmo is really a camp designed to destroy human beings, not merely detain them, which was what Abu Ghraib revealed.
Are all detainees at, say, Gitmo subject to these techniques routinely? That would be the natural inference. If this is how torture was used, isn't it light years' away from the initial "ticking time bomb" scenario – in fact, a complete rebuke to such a scenario?
And if the torture creates a broken soul that cannot lie, why do the torture defenders acknowledge that KSM lied to them long after the torture – which is what allegedly tipped them off to the salience of previous intelligence about the alleged courier? If he had been broken into compliance, why on earth did they believe he was lying?
Seth's Blog: The future of the library
Is there any doubt that online resources will get better and cheaper as the years go by? Kids don't shlep to the library to use an out of date encyclopedia to do a report on FDR. You might want them to, but they won't unless coerced.
They need a librarian more than ever (to figure out creative ways to find and use data). They need a library not at all.
Post-Gutenberg, books are finally abundant, hardly scarce, hardly expensive, hardly worth warehousing. Post-Gutenberg, the scarce resource is knowledge and insight, not access to data.
The next library is a place, still. A place where people come together to do co-working and coordinate and invent projects worth working on together. Aided by a librarian who understands the Mesh, a librarian who can bring domain knowledge and people knowledge and access to information to bear.
The next library is filled with so many web terminals there's always at least one empty. And the people who run this library don't view the combination of access to data and connections to peers as a sidelight–it's the entire point.
Wouldn't you want to live and work and pay taxes in a town that had a library like that? The vibe of the best Brooklyn coffee shop combined with a passionate raconteur of information? There are one thousand things that could be done in a place like this, all built around one mission: take the world of data, combine it with the people in this community and create value.
Obama As A "Third Culture Kid" – The Dish | By Andrew Sullivan – The Daily Beast
Obama, is what we call, a TCK—A Third Culture Kid. TCK's grow up as the children of missionaries, or as military brats, or as the children of businessmen. It means that you grew up during your early developmental years in a culture outside of your parents' home culture.
TCK's are usually unable to view the world in a simplistic dualistic way. On the contrary, they are usually over-achievers, get advanced degrees, and are infinitely curious about the world. They can accentuate different facets of their personality and experiences based on who they are talking to—and it's not fake.
Obama is the classic TCK. This is why he represents the new America so well—he is post-racial, globalized, and a great example of America's own Third Cultural nature.
As you have pointed out, like Reagan or Thatcher, at his heart he is a pragmatist. Like a true TCK, he doesn't romanticize any one culture or ideology. He understands that there is good or bad in everything.
TCK's have no choice. They must engage the world.
Have we ever had a President who has lived in this many American worlds and cultures and succeeded in all of them?
Taking the Information Plunge With Tinderbox | Mac.AppStorm
Tinderbox "the tool for notes."
The power of Tinderbox comes from its ability to display those notes in a number of different and helpful ways, and its array of mechanisms for manipulating those notes.
Tinderbox is a toolbox full of tools that let you play with information. DevonThink Pro is a better tool for research, particularly when linked with Devon Agent, OmniOutliner is a better outliner, Scrivener is a better writing tool, and Omnigraffle does a better job of drawing. All of these tools are great, but while they overlap some, they don't cover everything Tinderbox does.
For many years, I have walked into large, complex businesses and attempted to identify what was going on and how it could be done better. My job was part Qualitative Research, part Quantitative Research, and part Political Analysis. Qualitative Research has a number of tools for analyzing interviews and playing with the data, teasing meaning out of diverse viewpoints. I used these tools effectively, but I wish I'd had Tinderbox earlier in my career because it would have made this job easier. Tinderbox is a far more useful tool for 'right-brained' qualitative analysis than most of the other tools I've worked with, but even that sells it short.
Very few people I've seen truly understand its character as a tool box for manipulating and exploring information.
I have been using TB for just over a year and it has become my second top application after Scrivener. (I also use DEVONThink Pro)
I have planned a trilogy of novels on it, and a detailed timeline for the first novel.
I'm currently editing the first novel, which is to come out in Feb 2112, and I have set up my Scrivener screen so that the timeline occupies the lower third of my screen (though the Apps can be viewed together in other ways).
As for the trilogy, the plan is a work in progress using map view. But the power to manipulate the characters, events and relationships, and run what-ifs, has far exceeded my expectations.
Does Google Make Us Stupid? – Pew Research Center
Carr argued that the ease of online searching and distractions of browsing through the web were possibly limiting his capacity to concentrate. "I'm not thinking the way I used to," he wrote, in part because he is becoming a skimming, browsing reader, rather than a deep and engaged reader. "The kind of deep reading that a sequence of printed pages promotes is valuable not just for the knowledge we acquire from the author's words but for the intellectual vibrations those words set off within our own minds. In the quiet spaces opened up by the sustained, undistracted reading of a book, or by any other act of contemplation, for that matter, we make our own associations, draw our own inferences and analogies, foster our own ideas…. If we lose those quiet spaces, or fill them up with 'content,' we will sacrifice something important not only in our selves but in our culture."
force us to get smarter if we are to survive. "Most people don't realize that this process is already under way," he wrote. "In fact, it's happening all around us, across the full spectrum of how we understand intelligence. It's visible in the hive mind of the Internet, in the powerful tools for simulation and visualization that are jump-starting new scientific disciplines, and in the development of drugs that some people (myself included) have discovered let them study harder, focus better, and stay awake longer with full clarity." He argued that while the proliferation of technology and media can challenge humans' capacity to concentrate there were signs that we are developing "fluid intelligence-the ability to find meaning in confusion and solve new problems, independent of acquired knowledge." He also expressed hope that techies will develop tools to help people find and assess information smartly.
76% of the experts agreed with the statement, "By 2020, people's use of the internet has enhanced human intelligence; as people are allowed unprecedented access to more information they become smarter and make better choices. Nicholas Carr was wrong: Google does not make us stupid."
'Filter Bubble': Pariser on Web Personalization, Privacy – TIME
the World Wide Web came along and blew the gatekeepers away. Suddenly anyone with a computer and an Internet connection could take part in the conversation. Countless viewpoints bloomed. There was no longer a mainstream; instead, there was an ocean of information, one in which Web users were free to swim.
Where once Google delivered search results based on an algorithm that was identical for everyone, now what we see when we enter a term in the big box depends on who we are, where we are and what we are. Facebook has long since done the same thing for its all-important News Feed: you'll see different status updates and stories float to the top based on the data Mark Zuckerberg and company have on you. The universal Web is a thing of the past. Instead, as Pariser writes, we've been left "isolated in a web of one" — and, given that we increasingly view the world through the lens of the Internet, that change has frightening consequences for the media, community and even democracy.
Google has begun personalizing search results — something it does even if you're not signed into your Google account. (A Google engineer told Pariser that the company uses 57 different signals to shape individual search results, including what kind of browser you're using and where you are.)
Yahoo! News — the biggest news site on the Web — is personalized, and even mainstream sites like those of the New York Times and the Washington Post are giving more space to personalized recommendations. As Google executive chairman Eric Schmidt has said, "It will be very hard for people to watch or consume something that is not tailored for them."

This season's Herny Swerner MMFL Cup final will be contested between London Maccabi Lions and North London Raiders, as Raiders secured their place with an emphatic 6-0 win over South Mancunians.
A hat-trick from former Montana Boca United striker Gary Cohen, plus one apiece from Ashley Davidson, Serge Cowan and Paul Herszaft booked Raiders' place in the final at Wingate & Finchley on May 12.
The surprise result of the day belonged to Division Two side London Maccabi Lions, who beat Division One champions and cup holders Brady Maccabi A to reach the final of the Henry Swerner Cup.
Marc Morris put Lions ahead after the break, but Brady equalised through Jason Harris' thundering drive in the 90th minute. But the Lions held their nerve to go through 5–4 on penalties.
Glenthorne United B progressed to the semi-finals of the Nathan Horwitz MMFL Division 2 Cup after beating St John's Wood Tigers on penalties.
Neither team could find the net in normal time and Glenthorne held their nerve to win the shoot-out 3-0 to set up a last four clash against Marshside.
A hat‐trick from Marc Morris inspired London Maccabi Lions to a 5-3 win over EDRS Stonegrove in the Henry Swerner MMFL Cup.
David Hyman and Laurence Leigh sealed the win after EDRS had battled back from 3‐1 down at the interval to level the tie at 3-3 with just five minutes to go. But goals from Russell Rich, Mark

On a busy day for the Maccabi Masters there was action in both divisions of the league and in both Cup competitions.
In the Henry Swerner Cup, Brady A and South Mancs progressed to the semi-finals after wins against St John's Wood Tigers and Hendon Harriers respectively.
North London Raiders leapfrogged Southgate Harmen into second place with a 2-1 win over their title rivals, inspired by a 40-yard strike from Tony Plaskow and a goal from Darren Cohen. Jonny Mack replied for Harmen.
Glenthorne United A saw their double hopes go up in smoke as they were dumped out of the Henry Swerner Cup by second division London Maccabi Lions.
Marc Morris put the Lions ahead in the first half only for James Kaye to equalise but a strike from Paul Wise sent Lions through.
Waldaf Town player-manager Richard Davis dented Southgate Harmen's title hopes with a late equaliser following a gripping 2-2 draw in the Maccabi Masters League Division One.
Harmen had gained the upper hand with goals from Alex Bourne and Russell Becker but Davis pulled one back in the first half before scoring a stunning second with a free-kick from 20 yards.

Going to launch a modified version of Pokemon Reversal...perhaps next week. Even Skymin says that it's very crazy so I'm so proud of myself :D
Anyway, question time!
Do you normally like Roleplays that are totally different (as in crazily different, like an alternate world where things are opposite of what they are/a roleplay about dancing bears/anything that's totally random or impossible to happen) than others, or would you think that it's too weird and reject it? If it depends, then what do you like and what do you not like? Are there any guidelines, requirements or limits to what you like?

The Butters Show
When Butter's mom has went totally insane, you can see her paint over her and Butter's face (which can also been seen in later scenes), but, a little later when she tries to kill her self, you can see Butter's face, unpainted.
When life gives you lemons, chuck 'em at Eric and run like hell.

Police: drive-by didn't happenJanuary 12,2013MANCHESTER — Police said Friday that a man who claimed to be the victim of a drive-by shooting had actually shot himself.
Manchester Police said their investigation determined that Donald Ely-Gardner's wound was self-inflicted and that "his intentions were to injure himself."
A friend brought Ely-Gardner, 27, to the Manchester Police Department on New Year's Eve with a chest wound that appeared to be caused by a small-caliber handgun, according to police. Police said Ely-Gardner told them he had been out getting cigarettes when he was shot by a passing driver on Route 7A.
Police said Ely-Gardner was in stable condition at Albany Medical Center and that they did not expect to release any additional information on the incident.MORE IN This Just InIn sifting through my ever expanding Pocket queue of things Ive been meaning to read, I found... Full Story

When one-size-fits-all web solutions don't fit you, come see us. We ask what you want, suggest what you need, and make best-fit recommendations according to budget.
Cheap web hosting stinks! Does your host include website maintenance? Staff web developers? Answer the phone? Budget hosting only saves money if you never need support.
Thanks for the information in your newsletter. All the work that your team and I did on the website is really paying off as we have really moved up in the search engines. A big thanks to Liz and Jeff!! I could not have done it without them.
Overall the experience has been very positive. You were very attentive to details, your work efforts were exemplary, and you delivered on all your promises. I love the way we can provide you with a concept, and the Bluechannel team can run with the idea and represent it back in so many creative ways. We would recommend you in a heartbeat!
You're the best! Thanks for being there.
It consistently amazes me the number of people who claim to be "the best" or "the finest" and carry "excellent products" etc and then they shop for the cheapest services, products etc. There's a big disconnect there. I certainly do appreciate what you do.
Before I say anything I want to thank you and your team for the great job you all did on Rocket's behalf with the web page. It was done in timely manner and the result is most excellent!
Your service and expertise is awesome and has been for all the years we have used your services.
You're the most awesomist kind of awesome.
It has been a real pleasure to work with the BlueChannel team in the development of our website. I am confident that it will help benefit our overall marketing plan to keep the store in the public eye. We look forward to our continuing partnership.
Thanks for the update and quick, professional response to the situation. Outstanding job. Thank you.

Boudreaux voted new Parish Council chairman; Voisin vice chair
Published: Thursday, January 11, 2001 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, January 10, 2001 at 11:00 p.m.
For the second time in three years, Terrebonne Parish Council Vice Chairman Ray Boudreaux is succeeding Danny Henry as chairman.
This time, however, Henry will not swap chairs with Boudreaux. Instead, second-year Councilman Clayton Voisin won the vice chairmanship.
Boudreaux won unanimously on a voice vote. "I appreciate your having faith in me this year," he told the members.
Voisin won with six of the nine members' votes. He was opposed by another new councilman, Peter Rhodes, who was supported by Councilmen Alvin Tillman and Wayne Thibodeaux, a trio that often votes together.
"I'm very pleased that my fellow council members elected me to this post, especially being a sophomore," Voisin said after the meeting. "Hopefully, in the coming year we can share a little here on this council. The three votes I didn't get - I hope to gain their confidence."
Henry said earlier this year that he would prefer not to have even a committee chairmanship this year. He said he is looking forward to a quiet year.
The unexpected resignation of state Sen. Mike Robichaux, however, offered him an early shot at that seat, which he had said last year that he might seek in 2003.
On Wednesday, Henry officially entered his name in the Feb. 10 District 20 Senate race.
Parish President Bobby Bergeron praised Henry as an honorable adversary. "I see in you where I was when I had less years," he said to Henry.
Calling the first year of his term as Parish President "volatile," Bergeron nonetheless praised Henry for helping him accomplish his two most goals for 2000, reorganization of the government and the purchase of the Bank One Building for a government administration complex.
"My hat's off to you," Bergeron said to Henry.
Boudreaux called Henry "a great leader" and Councilman Harold Lapeyre echoed the sentiment, saying, "He's an innate leader. We are fortunate as a parish to have him."
Boudreaux said that in his second term as chairman, he would like to redistribute the responsibilities of the present committees and create as many as three new ones, so every member except him and Voisin could act as a chairman.
But Henry has said he is not interested, and Councilwoman Christa Duplantis, who is recovering from surgery, said she would not be able to take up the gavel for the Public Services Committee this year.
"I'm going to miss it dearly," Duplatis said.
Boudreaux said it is possible he will add only one new committee. "I'll look at it this week - meet with the council members - and make the decision next week," he said.
"I will not be running for chairman or vice chairman next year," Boudreaux told the council. "I see some smiles," he added.
Boudreaux, who was first elected to the council in 1991, has served as vice chairman for three one-year terms. He was council chairman in 1999. He has said he will run for the parish presidency in 2003.

The Vollard Suite' at Hood Museum of Art (The New Criterion)
October 22, 2013
Emma Moley '15, who is taking an off term and interning at The New Criterion in New York, recently returned to Dartmouth for Homecoming weekend and took in the Picasso exhibition at the Hood Museum of Art.
In an opinion piece published by The New Criterion, Moley says "The Vollard Suite" has been described as a "walk inside Picasso's mind," which she calls "an apt analogy, as the parallels between Picasso's evolving art over these seven years and the transformations in his personal life become obvious as one explores the collection."
The Hood exhibition points out the influence artists such as Goya and Rembrandt had on Picasso, Moley says, and to "further aid visitors in making this connection, the exhibition includes select pieces by those two artists alongside Picasso's work."

No. Methadone is not to be used with other opiates. It will block the receptors from accepting the oxycodone. If you are on the right dosage of methadone, no other pain control should be needed. Also, methadone is difficult to build a tolerance to so once you find that comfort zone, methadone will take care of your pain quite well for at least 24 hours. It can sneak up on you so give it time before re-dosing. Good luck to you. chris
Chris, I am also on Methadone and Percocets. Have a Great Day Chris!
hey there how long! Nice to hear from you even though I was totally wrong on thequestion. I must have been thinking of Suboxone. But I have heard from many people that if you're on the right dosage of methadone (which lasts 24 hrs! you should rarely need a bt med. Happy to hear you finally have good pain control my friend. Try not to be such a stanger. We all miss your wit and input. Send me a message let me know how things are going. My apologies to the questioner for the misinformation. chris
30 Aug 2010
Actually, Dr's do prescribe other opiates for breakthrough pain to people on Methadone. I have 30mg. oxycodone, (NOT oxycontin) for breakthrough pain and take around 100mg. Methadone a day, and i know of at least 3 other people that take methadone and oxycodone, lortab, for breakthrough also. It's kind of a weird thing, as Methadone is supposed to block other opiates, but there are many people that say that the other meds do help when taken along w/the methadone. I too, though, am of the school that Methadone, in the correct dosage, should be all that is needed, but if you are on a low dose and take enough of another med, it will bypass the methadone and can be helpful. It's been questioned by so many people and there have been so many different answers, even from Dr's, so I had to give this info, as Dr.'s do prescribe other meds along w/methadone. Not to be contradicting my friend Chris, as I agree the methadone should be enough in the right dosage.
Good luck figuring it out, I still really haven't. I do try to take the oxycodone in order to lower my dose of methadone tho, since i will have to get off of them eventually after surgeries, etc. Regarding that new suboxene patch we discussed, am thinking about looking into that Chris, will let you know if i end up trying it. Imttyler, how much methadone are you on? and how much percocet, just the regular 325?

Sanh's Group
The entire income generating activities earn them about 19,000 Riel (KHR) which support her five children. Two of her children are students, while the others work at a factory but receive a low salary. She has had this business for 29 years and is challenged with the lack of working capital for it.
Sanh's group is composed of four members: three women and one man. She and one of her co-members are on their second loans, whereas the remaining two group members are on their seventh loans with Kiva's partner VisionFund. The past loan helped her to manage her household's daily basic needs and to set aside some money to buy pigs for raising as extra income. She's now leading her group for this new loan. She will use her portion of the loan to buy fertilizer and rice seed, and to pay plowing and harrowing fees. She will also use a some of it to buy three more pigs to raise. She expects to gain more yield during this rainy season so as to double her income to improve her family's living conditions.
Additional Information
About VisionFund CambodiaVisionFund Cambodia is a Christian organization and microfinance institution that provides small loans and other financial services to improve the lives of children, empower poor women and their families, and grow successful businesses. The organization works primarily in rural parts of Cambodia and has distinguished itself by targeting the very poor who require smaller loan sizes, regardless of religious beliefs, gender or ethnic background.
Kiva lenders' funds will help the organization to expand into the northeastern provinces of the country, which have historically been underserved and difficult to reach with financial services.
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.

Red Carpet Review: Oscar Fashion 2007
There are few times in life when one can count on the eternal verities, but Academy Awards night is one of them. With 500 feet of red carpet and enough bling to open a Cartier store on the side, the entrance to the Kodak Theatre provides us with enough beauty, if not truth and goodness, to last until... well, next year. There were gowns of good taste aplenty, and great presence. Penelope Cruz, Kate Winslet, Gwyneth Paltrow and Cate Blanchett were standouts — but those of us of a certain age can't help but wax nostalgic for another time, when you never knew what Cher was going to turn up in.
Part of the thrill of watching the Academy Awards is realizing that we really do live in a different world from the people in Hollywood. Part couturier confab, part freak-show, the Oscars are as much middlebrow fantasy as they are peer tribute. But with stylists and designers now engineering practically every inch of the show, the red carpet just isn't the wild, wacky, unpredictable place it used to be. Still, it's always a fun fashion ride.

BOSTON -- The Boston Bruins have reached the Stanley Cup playoffs in each of the first six seasons under coach Claude Julien. Twice the Bruins have reached the finals, and once they've raised the Stanley Cup.
During his time in Boston, Julien has become friends with another winning coach in New England, the Patriots' Bill Belichick. The two have built a strong relationship. It's common to see Belichick sitting in the stands at TD Garden during the playoffs and waving a gold towel in support of the Bruins and Julien.
The two exchange text messages often, especially during the playoffs, and they've talked many times. Julien has been a Patriots fans since he was younger and has learned many things about being a coach from watching and speaking with Belichick.
"In watching Bill closely, and hearing about the things he did, a lot of it encouraged me to be myself because there's a little bit of him in me," Julien said. "Details are important to me. Sometimes you're always saying, 'Am I overdoing it?' You look at Bill's record, he's a guy who pays attention to detail, and players buy into it and believe in it and he's always had successful seasons.
"When you watch how he operates, those are the things that have helped me a lot, and gave me even more confidence than ever to continue to do what I believe in doing. I see a lot of things in him that are important to me."
Belichick has been a hockey fan since he was a kid, and he enjoys watching the Bruins. Whether Belichick is watching in person or on television, he said he appreciates Julien's coaching qualities and the system the team plays.
"They always are tough. They play hard. They're physical and they're a grinding team. They're very workman-like, like he is. They compete well. They play smart. They're a good team, fun to watch," Belichick said.
"I have a good relationship with [general manager] Peter [Chiarelli] and Claude," said Belichick. "We text back and forth pretty regularly. They wish us well. We wish them well. We congratulate them on a big win, or a tough loss, whatever it is. It's not a daily thing, but we stay in close contact. From time to time we talk about some things: Here's a situation, have you ever dealt with this? Or how do you guys handle this? That type of thing. And I feel like I have a good relationship with both Peter and Claude."
Chiarelli and Belichick have never met in person.
"We've never hung out, but I wouldn't mind having a beer with him at some point," Chiarelli said. "I've had some real good, constructive talks with him. The kind that cut right to the chase and they've been helpful.
"His outlook on player personnel and motivation. I know he's had talks with Claude on motivation. ... What I've learned from talking to Bill, his outlook on motivation plays a large part on his outlook on player personnel. That would seem logical, meaning let's get a player that's motivated. It's simply put, but it runs a lot deeper than that.
"I've talked to him about players over the years and why he's acquired these players. It gives it a different look. He's a real introspective guy and I've enjoyed my talks with him. He's obviously had a lot of success. You see a dry Bill Belichick in the media, but I can tell you he's not like that."
When Julien arrived in Boston in 2007 as coach of the Bruins, he was, naturally, interested in meeting and talking with Belichick. Like a new kid at school, Julien was the odd man out. At the time, Belichick and the Patriots had already won three Super Bowls, then-Red Sox manager Terry Francona had won one World Series and was on the verge of a second. Doc Rivers and the Celtics also won a championship during Julien's first year here.
"You're kind of the little guy at the bottom of the totem pole," Julien said with a laugh. "Once we started to establish ourselves, those guys gave me support all the way through."
The pressure was on, and Julien produced.
"One of the biggest things, after we won our championship, it was really important to pick his brain and find out what the obstacles were, as far as the sense of entitlement; everybody thinks they're the reason that we won," Julien said of chatting with Belichick. "Sometimes you have a tendency to put yourself bigger than what you really are, so it was important to address those kinds of things and not let it creep into your team.
"So, you learn things about championship teams and how to bounce back and react. His experience at winning and handling those situations was important for us to know as an organization, and me as a coach and Peter as a GM. He's been really, really helpful. Although he'll tell you he doesn't know a ton about hockey, he still likes it."
As much as Belichick supports the Bruins, Julien reciprocates with the Patriots. If the Bruins don't have a game or a practice, Julien never misses a Patriots game.
"There's an even better connection when you know the people there," admitted Julien.
So, how does one of the all-time greatest coaches break down a hockey game?
"I just try to watch the game, watch the players and sometimes you watch in front of the net, there's a lot of action there even though that's not where the puck is sometimes," Belichick said. "I really don't understand the coaching during the game. I'm sure there's interaction between the coach and the players on the bench, but it's hard to tell what that is because you're in the stands and can't hear it. I just sit there and enjoy the game."
The coaching fraternity in Boston is not limited to Julien and Belichick. Those two, along with Francona, Rivers, Bobby Valentine, and now John Farrell and Brad Stevens, have built a rare camaraderie. It trickles down to the collegiate level, too.
"I feel like the coaches here, we have a good relationship with all of them. They support us and we support them and it's good. It's the whole sports community in Boston -- college and pro -- and it's pretty good, really, to support each other," Belichick said.
Julien concurs.
"I think it's important in this city that we lean on each other that way," said Julien, who texted Red Sox manager Farrell on Friday morning to wish him and the team good luck in the playoffs.
Recently, Belichick conducted one of his daily press conferences at Gillette Stadium. He was his typical, serious self and didn't reveal much information about the Patriots' upcoming opponent. Afterward, behind closed doors, he turned into a fan when asked which Bruins player was his favorite.
"I like a lot of them. I like [Zdeno] Chara on defense. I like [Patrice] Bergeron and Tuukka Rask," Belichick said before pausing. "Bobby Orr. Definitely Bobby Orr. I love Bobby Orr. Bobby's been a great friend and a great supporter, too. Really getting to know him after watching him when I was at Andover and in college, idolizing him as a great, great player and to actually be able to meet him and get to know him and Peggy, his wife. He's awesome."
Since Belichick gave his favorite Bruins players, Julien was asked about the Patriots.
"I like [Tom] Brady. I like [Vince] Wilfork. I did like Wes Welker, like everybody did, right? Who can't think that Gronk's not a good player, too? Those are the guys that I like on that team," Julien said.
Julien no longer has to feel like the new kid on the block in Boston. Like Belichick, he has cemented his legacy in this city.

DH and I live 1000+ miles away from our parents and we're trying to figure out the best way to plan for their trips out here after the birth. If you're in the same boat, what are your parents doing? Are they booking tickets now and hoping the baby comes while they're here (or even before)? Or are they booking last-minute tickets when you go into labor?
Parents flying out for the birth?
Even if they're in town when we have the baby, I only want DH there for the labor & delivery. I was thinking it would be nice for them to come a few days after the baby's born, since I'll need more help after DH goes back to work, but my MIL says we'll DEFINITELY want someone there immediately. I've never done this before, so maybe she's right... I also don't want people spending a fortune on a last-minute flight.
I am in the same boat since my parents live 2,000 miles away... my mom wants to book a flight now to come out the day before I am due and stay for two weeks so she can get the best price. I think it's too soon to book since there is a good chance she'll be here for a week or more before I go into labor. It's just so hard to know what to do when your family is so far.
Not going to lie - the thought of having visit for 2 weeks is already stressing me out.
I'm in a different boat than you guys are. I live in US, but I am Indian citizen. My dad is coming for the delivery, so we are in the process of applying for his US travel visa and see how it goes. Hopefully his visa interview will be by end of January, so he can fly over here by mid of February.
But we'll see what works out...
Madly in love with our miracle, Timothy Anker, born 3-27-13.
My in-laws and parents live far away too. I only want DH there for the birth, but they are welcome to come post-delivery.
For this, they are getting refundable tickets that they can change the dates on to accomodate baby's arrival.
My parents are planning on flying out after the birth, and bringing my grandmother. They are preparing ahead of time to pay a ton of $ on tickets, since their time off will be limited. They will book flights as soon as I am in active labor. They would rather be several days after than plan to be there, and baby be late. I was born about 3 weeks late myself.

Take a break from diablo scrubs
Take a break from diablo scrubs
I don't need a dissertation on ethos, or logos for that matter, from hollywood scum.
Bissen complaining about strawman. Har har har.
Also fuck everyone who uses the word "strawman" for anything but actual strawmen.
Woody Harrelson? Fuckin sweet, I'll watch it then.
Watched this on Netflix awhile back; I don't recall being particularly impressed by any of it. Also, the severity of regulatory capture is way overstated in my view, at least in regards to the election process. Basically, everyone is scamming everyone out of money in the election process. It isn't as simple as company A just buying politician A's victory. There is also tons of money made by those campaigning themselves, and they often hold donors and different camps at ransom. So yeah, there is a bunch of corruption, but everyone is getting shafted.

I will not watch or listen to it because while some of the content or mores presented may seem enticing to replicate, abide by or agree with, the underlying tendency that hovers around these types of people is egregious.
The subject of ethics is something that I take very seriously, and it is not straw man at all to discredit the people behind or presenting the material. The statement I made was just that, a statement. It wasn't open to interpretation or argument at all. There is nothing to prove wrong, seeing as he is in fact a part of the hollywood group. Scum can be debated, but he is a part of it.
I don't understand why forumfall these days jumps straight to mad.
I appreciate what you're saying suncross but there's a piece you've seemed to have left out of your conclusion of 'hollywood'.
Lots of hollywood actors are not coming from a place of money. When they begin to take in a 'good' amount of money they're then introduced to a different life style. Different thoughts, different concerns, different morals, education and even conversations.
I appreciate the ones that step out and remember where they came from. Try to give something back, after the veil has been lifted.

Wait. that's not even what you;re saying.
With all the shit in this video, youre going to say you're not impressed with it and then use that as your argument why? I fucking hate you.
THat wasn't even the fucking point. They were showing how central banking was put into place.
Im just gonna block you.

Well, consider me forlorn. I shall pine for eternity
Anyway, I'd give you a linguistics lesson (which all Forumfall would marvel at) as to why my above criticism is not the basis of my lack of satisfaction with the documentary. I could, but I suspect that, even at double your mental capacity, you wouldn't be able to comprehend it.

What kind of tank, er bike, is it?

My wet weather bike weighs over 45 pounds with my regular load. Of course my light is powered by a 12volt lead acid battery.
Doesn't have to be a tank, most people don't realize. Back when I commuted (telecommuter now, and the bike is hard to ride to my basement) my GVW was about 340 pounds on a 1991 Trek 1400, bone stock. She held up just fine on 23's at 125 pounds of pressure.Originally Posted by Phantoj

Sometimes I ride to the local transfer station and get up on the truck scale. I don't remember what my last weight was, but that's a fun diversion sometimes. It's nice to know people in places like that.
They almost always hold any bikes they find for me to look at before they meet their ultimate doom. Haven't taken any home yet, but I'm still hoping that someday there'll be my dream bike... right there with the rest of the garbage.

I've been losing weight, too. I'm sorta stuck on a plateau at 245 for the last couple weeks, down from 262 at the start of the year. I'm aiming for the upper 220s.

My normal commuter weighs 42 lbs in it's normal configuration. (Lights, fenders, rack, panniers, equipment)
The non-snow bike is ~20 lbs, and the snow bike is ~25. Both have fenders. The biggest difference I find is the mass of the tires: 250g each vs. 900g each. The non-snow bike accelerates so much better despite having significantly higher gearing. I'm sure that the snow has nothing to do with it...

The last weighing of my bike, it came in at a hefty 51 lbs with all the winter gear attached. I have since eliminated or updated to lighter bicycling gear, and hopefully reducing the bike's weight to the mid to low 40 range.
My main ride is about 32 pounds all-up, with big fat 1.75" tires, fenders, front and rear racks and various doohickies. Because I seldom carry more than 5-10 lbs in my messenger bag and because I'm pretty small, I doubt that my GVW ever tops 180 while I commute. Of course, this is my touring bike, and I can carry a lot more weight than that! I've carried 20 or 30 pounds of groceries home, and it handled like a champ.
Weight in the low 30 lb range doesn't bother me too much. I'm used to bikes weighing about that much, and consider that a pretty good weight for a useful, well-equipped bicycle. A light bike is probably not a very useful bike. Besides, my "stripped" SS beater still comes in at 27 pounds or so, and I haven't added the fenders yet! And my road bike is about 24 pounds. I don't have very exacting standards for bicycle weight.

I weighed my panniers w/ a representative load this morning, 15.5# (incl the bags), so 52# of bike and stuff on it, ~160# of me. Hoping to get myself down to 150# (mostly so I will be under 160 w/ clothes and shoes), does not look like GVW <200# is happening.
I think I am after all in a similar ballpark w/ my 5 yr old, biomass:bikemass ratio-wise, 40# of kid to ~15# of bike. My chain stays better lubed though.
I'm going to go and reread that thread in the 'touring' folder about keeping touring kit <20#... (probably does not include 2# of apples I found in my panniers this am)

We need a new lamp post. After he finishes yours he can come to our house for lobster fest and install one for us.
Well if he is going to make John one then he can make me one too :-)
How much is international shipping?
