No current Talk conversations about this book.
It seems like there's a lot packed into this short novel. It raises very important philosophical questions that Schlink's generation -- children of Nazis, Nazi sympathizers, and compatriots who looked the other way -- in Germany had to grapple with. What do they owe the outside world? What responsibility do they bear? How do they reconcile the parents they love with the crimes they committed? What reckoning is required in the courts and just as importantly in the cultural consciousness?
But the novel doesn't answer any. If this had been a novel about emotional conflict, it would have been effective: here are these questions, here are the reasons I'm conflicted. But instead it's just ambivalent. It raises the questions only to give them little consideration and certainly no resolution or meaningful thought. It doesn't say anything.
Or at least I could not determine what Schlink meant to say. There's one throwaway line about Hanna being "brutal" that you might think means something, but there are also numerous instances of him wanting to wipe away her crimes and culpability because she was illiterate (which is so dumb I can't even interact with that idea, honestly).
You could see what you want to see in this novel (for instance, pedophiles who think Lolita glorifies the crime or teenagers who admire Patrick Bateman) but I could not see what Schlink meant except for ambivalence. It's an interesting book for readers to consider, but it isn't a meeting of the minds with the author, and that disappointed me.
******* Contains spoilers*****
This story if full of controversial if not disturbing topics. I tried to look at it in the literary form despite this. I felt the writing was simplistic and sometimes repetitive, but also gave good imagery.
What bothered me about the 15 year old relationship with the 36 year old besides the obvious facts of morals is that Schlink never really gives the narrator a self realization on how wrong it was of her to seduce him as a child. I know he viewed himself not as such, but maybe the authors way of getting this across is his life long struggle with his relationship, but I wanted him to realize how wrong it was and him to be angry with her for her part with the holocaust.
The worst book I have ever read.
Extraordinary. A 15 year old falls for an older woman, and gets his heart broken. Years later he learns she was a Nazi prison guard when he's assigned to cover her trial. Too late to help her, he discerns her secret. A tragic ending.
This book truly polarized me, opinion-wise. I absolutely despised the writing, especially for the content/story. It was written almost like a textbook, incredibly dry and with little to no emotion. The few flickers of genuine emotion was felt, however, when it was written. For how deep this story was and the intent of why it was written (stated in the end), the writing does it absolutely no justice. The descriptions and story itself was bare-bones and removed all emotion from the story. I'm sure that there was a point to this, as it was written from a first person POV. I understand the intent, but it did nothing to make me enjoy this novel, truly. If the story was expanded and written more like a novel, I would have most likely loved it.
What starts out as a story of sexual awakening, something that Colette might have written, a ''Cherie and the Last of Cherie'' set in Germany after the war, is suddenly darkened by history and tragic secrets. In the end, one is both moved and disturbed, saddened and confused, and, above all, powerfully affected by a tale that seems to bear with it the weight of truth.
Schlink's daring fusion of 19th-century post-romantic, post-fairy-tale models with the awful history of the 20th century makes for a moving, suggestive and ultimately hopeful work, an original contribution to the impossible genre with the questionable name of Vergangenheitsbewaltigung, ''coming to terms with the past.''

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0375707972, Paperback)Oprah Book Club® Selection, February 1999: Originally published in Switzerland, and gracefully translated into English by Carol Brown Janeway, The Reader is a brief tale about sex, love, reading, and shame in postwar Germany. Michael Berg is 15 when he begins a long, obsessive affair with Hanna, an enigmatic older woman. He never learns very much about her, and when she disappears one day, he expects never to see her again. But, to his horror, he does. Hanna is a defendant in a trial related to Germany's Nazi past, and it soon becomes clear that she is guilty of an unspeakable crime. As Michael follows the trial, he struggles with an overwhelming question: What should his generation do with its knowledge of the Holocaust? "We should not believe we can comprehend the incomprehensible, we may not compare the incomparable.... Should we only fall silent in revulsion, shame, and guilt? To what purpose?"
The Reader, which won the Boston Book Review's Fisk Fiction Prize, wrestles with many more demons in its few, remarkably lucid pages. What does it mean to love those people--parents, grandparents, even lovers--who committed the worst atrocities the world has ever known? And is any atonement possible through literature? Schlink's prose is clean and pared down, stripped of unnecessary imagery, dialogue, and excess in any form. What remains is an austerely beautiful narrative of the attempt to breach the gap between Germany's pre- and postwar generations, between the guilty and the innocent, and between words and silence. --R. Ellis

While big data enters the everyday lexicon, it begins to conjure the image of a Sasquatch-style beast made of infinite strings of numbers. But big data doesn't have to be intimidating. Your business can harness the big data haystack to quickly find the needle of insight contained inside. For example, researchers at Virginia Tech are proving that, with the right tools, it's possible to comb through and analyze data—even data as complex as the human genome—that can lead to the next big breakthrough.
As Wu Feng from Virginia Tech's Department of Computer Science explains, this requires lots of computing capability. "You've got this juxtaposition of big data, every 8 months doubling," explains Feng. "But you've got the compute capability only doubling every 24 months." That's where the cloud comes in. Here's how you can use cloud tools to unlock opportunities in big data.
Connect the dots
Generating data faster than it can be analyzed is a challenge every business faces. And there's possibly nothing as complex as next-generation sequence (NGS) analysis.
"We seek to use computing to more rapidly understand where cancer starts in the DNA," explains Feng. "It's like finding a needle in a haystack, but in this case we are searching through massive amounts of genomic data to try to find these 'needles' and how they connect and relate to each other 'within the haystack.'"
Tools such as Microsoft Azure can help your business link multiple data sources to give you the insights needed to form a complete picture. When dealing with big data, finding common links allows your business to identify and capitalize on opportunities you may not even have known existed. This is what leads to business breakthroughs.
Add intelligence, faster
Cloud applications can be accessed from virtually anywhere, including on mobile devices. Feng believes this will, in the not-so-distant-future, allow researchers to engage in genome analysis outside the laboratory, "say at a hospital, which could lead to faster, prescribed treatments."
While the cloud brings Virginia Tech one step closer to understanding cancer, it's your business' secret weapon in finding its own needles in the haystack.
"We want to enable the scientists, engineers, physicists, and geneticists, and equip them with tools so they can focus on their craft and not on the computing," says Feng. "The cloud can accelerate discovery and innovation by computing answers faster, particularly when you don't have bountiful computing resources at your disposal. It enables people to compute on data sets that they might not have otherwise tried because they didn't have ready access to such resources."In the meantime, better data analysis tools can help your business keep up with overwhelming amounts of data faster, while also analyzing it more intelligently. And while the cloud provides an easy way to manage unwieldy big data, it also makes it easy to share the data to facilitate collaboration.
Big data without big costs
Your organization doesn't have to worry about creating its own supercomputing center to intelligently mine data and extract insights. As Feng explains, having a cloud environment with a provider such as Microsoft allows Virginia Tech to "give users the ability to compute big data, while not having to incur the institutional overhead of personally housing, operating, and maintaining such a facility."
"In another five years, [cloud computing] will become a democratized resource for the masses," predicts Feng. "It will get to the point where it will be just as easy to use storage in the cloud as it will be to flip a light switch; we won't think twice about it. The future of computing and data lies in the cloud." And while the cloud brings Virginia Tech one step closer to understanding cancer, it's your business' secret weapon in finding its own needles in the haystack.
Watch how the cloud is helping Virginia Tech researchers get one step closer to their next medical advancement.

PlayStation Vita
Question from dalf_tree
Can i transfer PS1 saves to psvita from another persons PS3?
Hi my brother has ps3 with Final fantasy 7 on it and i've got a psvita with a US psn account with Final fantasy 7 on it can i copy the saves from the ps3 to the psvita if the accounts dont match?
3 years ago
Why don't your try it by yourself? Connect your Vita to the PS3, start Content Manager on the Vita and pick Vita to PS3. Then try copying game data from your PS3 to PS Vita.. I'm sorry I can't help you that much since I do not own a PS3 ATM..
3 years ago
If you have an usb cable that enables you to connect your ps3 with pc , then i guess it's possible . i dunno cuz i dont have ps3 yet , but if it works like psp where you can access your savedata , then i guess it's possible . although the format might be different . then again i'm not 100% sure

"Perfection only has one name - RABAC" Rabac by Rabac4ever
Rabac Travel Guide: 23 reviews and 46 photos
I won't even try to come off as objective because when it comes to Rabac, objectivity does not exist as far as I'm concerned. It's my home town, the place where all my best childhood (and other) memories lie, the place I will always return to, and always will, and it doesn't take too long to realise why either :)
Rabac has some of the clearest, cleanest beaches you will ever see, and many of the beaches are marked by blue flags which confirms this, and there's something for everyone's taste.

Brown steps down, Cameron and Clegg step up
This is good news. But more interesting to me is Alex Massie's assessment of Nick Clegg:
There's one thing that may be said of Nick Clegg's willingness to talk to Labour: it allowed Labour to show Liberal Democrat MPs that a deal with the Tories is the only show in town worth buying a ticket for.
Once Labour MPs vowed to derail any plan to force through voting reform without a referendum and once John Reid, David Blunkett and Andy Burnham pointed out the absurdity of a "Loser's Alliance" that, however constitutionally permissable, would mock the actual, you know, result of the election then even the most sawdust-brained Liberal Democrat MP could appreciate that this bird wouldn't fly.
That leaves a proper deal with the Tories the only sensible option – an outcome that I suspect was Clegg's preference all along. But he may now have been able to sell the idea to his party without having to make it a confidence motion in his own leadership or having to issue an ultimatum to his party. That leaves Clegg in a stronger position internally.
And, of course, by flirting with Labour Clegg was able to persuade the Tories to increase their offer on voting reform even though it became clear that Labour couldn't possibly give Clegg any real assurances on voting reform themselves. This too makes it easier for Clegg internally.
This is all very smart maneuvering on the part of Clegg – so smart in fact, that he may just have about fooled everyone. Including Massie.
The fact is, nobody knew what the hell was going on yesterday. Why would Clegg turn to Labour? Could it really be the Scottish MP's forcing his hand? Was there any sense in forming a "Loser's Coalition" which everyone knew from the outset would be the case? Could the Liberal Democrats really be that afraid of being part of an unpopular governing coalition?
None of that added up. That it was all an elaborate ruse designed to soften the Tories, smoke out the designs of Labour, and force the hands of unwilling Lib-Dem MP's is a much more likely scenario, and makes me think even more highly of Clegg than before. He may be the next Deputy Prime Minister, and he deserves the post I think.
Three cheers for David Cameron, though, who has reformed the Conservative Party in Britain in ways that are quite literally leaps and bounds ahead of the Republicans here in the United States. This is a conservative party I could easily support.

Ace Telugu director Sreenu Vaitla, known for teaming up with Gopi Mohan to write scripts, is likely to go solo for his upcoming action-drama "Aagadu".

Of 13 films of Sreenu Vaitla, Gopi Mohan has penned the story for eight, which include "Dhee", "Ready", "Dubai Seenu" and "Dookudu".
In the beginning of his career, Vaitla wrote his own scripts for "Nee Kosam", "Anandam" and "Sontham".
In "Aagadu", the director has teamed up with actor Mahesh Babu and this will will their second project together after Telugu blockbuster "Dookudu".
The rest of the cast is yet to be finalised for the movie, which will be produced by 14 Reels Entertainment.

Tahira Khadim Hussain Group
Tahira Baji completed her education up until the 10th standard. She then married a man who is a driver by profession and drives an auto-rickshaw (a local three-wheeled motor vehicle). She is the mother of six children: four sons and two daughters. All of her children are enrolled in a local school in her neighborhood.
Tahira Baji has a clothes sewing business. She learned this art from her mother. She earns worth 1500 Pak Rupees per month, which she uses to pay her children's school fees. She is applying for a loan to repair her hsuband's auto-rickshaw.
She is a group leader of a few more members of her community. Sakina Baji wants a loan to buy clothes to resell. Sumera Rani Baji wants a loan to buy spare parts of vehicles to resell. Maryam Baji wants a loan to buy an auto-rickshaw. Anwar Baji wants a loan to buy seasonal fruits for her fruit selling business.
This is a group loan. The loan funds will be distributed among the group members, each of whom will invest in her own business. The members mutually guarantee one another's loans. If one member does not repay, the other members are responsible.
Additional Information
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.

Mumbai, Oct 29 (IANS) The "Bigg Boss 6" inmates are in for a surprise this week. Unlike each week when one housemate would get evicted, two of them will be shown the door this time.
The celebrity contestants nominated for eviction this week include Gulab Gang leader Sampat Lal, controversial cartoonist Aseem Trivedi, model Karishma Kotak and hairstylist Sapna Bhavnani.
They will be told about the double eviction on Monday's episode, said a source.
The reality show began with 15 contestants, and so far three of them -- Bhojpuri actor Dinesh Yadav, commoner Kashif Qureshi and actress Sayantani Ghosh -- have already been voted out by the viewers.
Around 5,000 marchers, led by Republican Party of India chief Ramdas Athavale, went up to the "Bigg Boss" home in Lonavala Oct 25, demanding eviction of Trivedi, who had earlier grabbed headlines for sketching cartoons denigrating Indian constitution and other symbols.
The final result will be announced Friday on Colors channel.

"Eastbourne" Top 5 Page for this destination Eastbourne by Mariajoy
Eastbourne Travel Guide: 101 reviews and 212 photos
A beautiful May Day in Eastbourne - where there was a "French Market" on the waterfront harbour - bought a couple of bunches of asparagus and a whole lot of french cheeses...mmm. The sun was shining and the boats were moored while their owners meandered through through the stalls or had lunch at the various restaurants.
And when you have strolled and bought your French produce - take a seat and wait to be served a huge latte by a hunky Italian waiter. Lunch for two (no starter, no wine and no dessert) came to over twenty quid.
- Pros:This is as chic as the south coast of England gets!
- Cons:Can't think of any today.
- In a nutshell:Bring your wallet.

Nice page!
I've been to Beachy Head (and Eastbourne?) when I was 18 or 19 and took a 2 weeks course in the Eurocentre in Forest Hill.
Ornamental cabbages? You must be joking, right? Thanks for not taking any photos of them! I have always liked the looks of those chalk cliffs, but I hope they don't all erode and fall into the sea.
Beachy Head !! On a day like today ? No wonder you needed hot food !
I am glad to see that they even have Shandy in the Counting House Pub. :-)
Fantastic pages here Maria! Those cliffs look real scary! And awesome shots of the hang gliders. I think I'd just be watching too matey :o) One day we'll get up your way!! Hugs, Ann xx
The food here was terrible&costly.They vacuumed as we ate,I complained politely,but the owners went mad, shouting at us&as we left he even insulted the way I was dressed!An embarrassment to the beautiful East Sussex.
The cliffs look amazing, and I would love to spend some time having tea in that lovely bookshop.
great page Maria! I love the pictures!
Warm pub, warm beer... I'll never get used to the British love of the latter :~p

The SR sports some serious hardware, like a 43mm inverted fork, Nissin calipers, a wave-type rotor, and even a steel-braided line. The optional Power Tank rests where a traditional gas tank would reside. While nice, the excessively long brake line just looks unsightly.

Esben and the Witch
Esben and the Witch are a three piece indie rock band from Brighton, England. The band members are Rachel Davies, Daniel Copeman and Thomas Fisher. According to Songfacts, the trio named themselves after a Danish fairytale.
Since forming in Brighton in 2008, Esben and the Witch have forged a sound that springs forth from minds soaked in influences far and beyond any standard set of musical touchstones. Nature and literature, art and science, history and the unknown – the trio eschews the everyday for inspiration drawn from sources weird and wonderful.
Esben and the Witch on Facebook
Mentioned by Rolling Stone Magazine as one of 20 Must-See Acts at SXSW. Heliotropes hail from Brooklyn, NY. With a sound described as "doomy pop" – containing elements of shoegaze, goth and classic psych metal – Heliotropes blend influences from Spacemen 3, Spiritualized, Black Sabbath and My Bloody Valentine. The guitar riffs are murky, the drums are bludgeoning, and the shrills of the violin are haunting. But it is California native Jessica Numsuwankijkul's detached, wistful vocals – which bring to mind Richard Ashcroft meets Mazzy Star – that turn spacey dissonance into beautiful hypnotic rock.

Sound Transit is putting a $17.9 billion rail and bus plan on the November ballot, in hopes that voters overlook this year's economic slowdown and think long-term.
Sound Transit is putting a $17.9 billion rail and bus plan on the November ballot, in hopes that voters overlook this year's economic slowdown and think long-term.
More than two-thirds of the money would be spent to build 34 miles of light-rail extensions, reaching the Overlake Transit Center near Microsoft in 2021, and Lynnwood and north Federal Way by 2023.
Late next year, light-rail service begins from downtown Seattle to Seattle-Tacoma International Airport; a north line to Capitol Hill and Husky Stadium is already scheduled for completion in 2016.
Transit board members voted unanimously Thursday to send the plan, and its accompanying sales-tax increase, to the public a year after a combined Roads & Transit package was routed at the polls. Supporters hope that a transit-only version will fare better because rising gas prices are nudging more people out of their cars. Also, the presidential race is expected to bring out younger voters who would support transit.

"I don't know if the benefit of Sound Transit 2 is going to outweigh the burden of the tax increase. But for heaven's sake, let the voters decide the issue," said board member and Metropolitan King County Councilmember Julia Patterson, D-SeaTac. "If we didn't put it on the ballot we would simply be a roadblock, instead of letting people speak their mind."
Board Chairman Greg Nickels, the Seattle mayor, argued that the proposed 0.5 percent sales-tax increase, averaging $69 a year per adult, is comparable to a tankful of gas. "Every time we pay at the pump we are fueling the status quo. This package allows us to break away and get out of our cars," he said.
Although they voted to put the plan before voters, two members of the 18-person board oppose it: King County Executive Ron Sims, and Councilmember Pete von Reichbauer, R-Federal Way. Sims tried Thursday to add another $120 million to the package to subsidize a rapid increase in express-bus trips by King County Metro, but was turned down. A former Sound Transit board chairman, Sims now favors bus-rapid transit over light rail in some corridors.
"We just told tens of thousands of Metro riders that for the next eight years, they're either going to be standing, or watching buses pass them by," Sims said.
Sims, who campaigned against last year's Roads & Transit plan, said he didn't know yet whether he will campaign against this year's measure. If he does, the fight would be lonelier: The Sierra Club, his close ally in 2007 against the 20-year, $38 billion Roads & Transit plan, is already campaigning for the new transit-only sequel.
Voters in urban King, Snohomish and Pierce counties will decide whether to increase the sales tax by a nickel per $10 purchase.
Nickels and other advocates promote it as a leaner plan than last year's. However, the tax rate is the same. The new plan builds shorter light-rail lines, until voters someday approve more extensions.
"You can't fool the public by saying this is a lower investment when the taxes are the same," said Jim Horn, president of the Eastside Transportation Association, a pro-bus-and-roads group backed by mall developer Kemper Freeman.
The proposed sales-tax increase would end in 2038, about 15 years after construction is finished, unless voters approve more projects, said Finance Director Brian McCartan.
In an nod to bus users, the agency decided Thursday to increase bus service by nearly one-fifth, beginning next year if the measure passes. On busy Everett and Lynnwood routes, service would improve to a trip every 15 minutes at peak times, while other corridors have yet to be chosen.
The move brought state Transportation Secretary Paula Hammond, who represents Gov. Christine Gregoire, into the "yes" column. Hammond also worked out an informal agreement with Joni Earl, Sound Transit's chief executive officer, that Sound Transit would pay for seismic strengthening of the I-90 floating bridge, when light-rail tracks are added there.
Also Thursday, BNSF Railway agreed to four more round-trip Sounder commuter trains between Pierce County and Seattle, gradually from 2011 to 2015, for $185 million. Board member John Ladenburg, the Pierce County executive, said that's a huge win, because it protects Sound Transit from cost increases after the election. He would have voted "no" otherwise, he said.
One big question is the light-rail route in downtown Bellevue. The plan assumes an elevated or surface route. But if a tunnel is chosen, that would add $500 million and eat up the money to reach Overlake. According to Ric Ilgenfritz, Sound Transit planning and policy director, a tunnel would need city funds, private-sector money, or a downtown taxing district.
The state Expert Review Panel this week urged the agency to reach "closure on this issue" before voters make their decision.

Palm oil giant Wilmar caves to public pressure, commits to end forests destruction
by Kat Clark
© Greenpeace / Getty / Schafer
Wilmar International, the world's largest palm oil trader today announced a NoDeforestation Policy in response topressure from Greenpeace, NGOs andconsumers around the world. The policy has the potential to be a landmark winfor the worlds forests andthe people that depend on them for theirlivelihoods. Bustar Maitar, head of theIndonesia forest campaign at Greenpeace International said: Wilmar has responded toyears of pressure from Greenpeace, other NGOs, and a growing movement ofconsumers around the world demandingclean palm oil and an end to forestdestruction. Wilmars commitment to No Deforestation has the potential totransform the controversial palm oilindustry. Wilmars policy shows thatthe sector has a massive problem, and while this policy is great news forforests and tigers, its success will be judged byWilmars actions to implementand enforce it. Our challenge to Wilmar is this: will it now immediately stopbuying from companies such as the GandaGroup, which is closely linked toWilmar and is involved in ongoing forest clearance, illegal peatlanddevelopment and social conflict? Over the last seven years,Greenpeace has repeatedly exposed Wilmars role in gross acts of forestdestruction; sourcing from national parks,destroying prime tiger habitat,sourcing from suppliers linked to orang-utan graveyards or this years forestfire crisis in Sumatra, to name a few.

For visitors with wheelchairs, strollers, walkers, children... And for anyone desiring a less strenuous open space experience.
Accessible Open Space brochure
Other Power-Driven Mobility Devices
Monte Bello Open Space Preserve
The first segment (500 feet) of the Stevens Creek Nature Trail, beginning from the main parking area, can accommodate a wide array of physical abilities (although it is not officially designated an easy access trail). This gently sloping segment of trail, which is at an average grade of 5%, takes visitors to a dramatic vista point, where visitors can look down Stevens Creek Canyon to see Mt. Umunhum and Loma Prieta, the site of the 1989 earthquake. A bench is also located here, allowing visitors the opportunity to sit and enjoy the view. Two wheelchair-accessible parking spaces and a wheelchair-accessible restroom are available at the Monte Bello parking lot.
Picchetti Ranch Open Space Preserve
This preserve features the Picchetti Winery, which dates back to the 1800s, making it one of the oldest wineries in California. The winery complex is located just next to the preserve parking lot, and has wide dirt roads that can be navigated by most wheelchairs. There is an accessible restroom and a wheelchair lift into the winery tasting room. The trails outside the winery complex are not improved for wheelchair access.
Pulgas Ridge Open Space Preserve
The Cordilleras Trail extends 0.8 miles at a very slight grade. The first part of this trail parallels a paved road. This paved road continues to the top of the hill and the grade exceeds 10% and may be too steep for wheelchair use. The accessible trail leads away from this road, bringing visitors into a quiet wooded valley with a delightful little clearing and bench, next to the Cordilleras Creek. No restrooms are available.
Purisima Creek Redwoods Open Space Preserve
Purisima Creek Redwoods has two great accessible destinations. The Redwood Trail at Purisima Creek Open Space Preserve is a lovely 1/4-mile long easy-access trail meandering through groves of redwoods. Two accessible picnic tables are located along the trail, a great picnic destination that is close to a parking area, yet feels remote and peaceful. There is an accessible restroom just beyond the tables. The western side of the preserve also provides a beautiful, moderately accessible trail. The Purisima Creek Trail, an old logging road, passes by an accessible restroom and continues at a gentle uphill grade for the first mile into the preserve, although there are a few short sections that are a 10%-15% grade. The trail follows along Purisima Creek, crossing the water over several bridges. This portion of the preserve is quite serene and picturesque, with the redwoods above you and the creek running at your feet. The weather can be very cool in the redwoods, so be sure to dress in layers.
Rancho San Antonio Open Space Preserve
This preserve adjoins Rancho San Antonio County Park, where parking and wheelchair accessible restrooms are available. From the county park, a wide, level dirt path leads from the parking area into the District preserve. Here it joins a paved service road and a similar dirt trail, which are on a level grade, but may have an uneven surface. Deer Hollow Farm, a historic working farm operated by the City of Mountain View, is a popular attraction at this preserve. Located approximately one mile from the county parking area, most of the farm as well as approximately 0.8 miles of the Rogue Valley Trail beyond the farm, are also relatively level and wide. An accessible restroom is available at the farm. The District maintains a small parking area approximately 0.6 miles from the county parking area, and just 0.4 miles from Deer Hollow Farm. A permit to use this lot may be requested by calling the District office.
Ravenswood Open Space Preserve
There are approximately 1.5 miles of wheelchair accessible trail on levees at this bayfront preserve. The trails are 6- to 8-feet wide, constructed of aggregate base with chip seal surface. Overlook platforms and benches are destinations at both ends of this trail, offering a place for picnics, bird watching, or just enjoying the San Francisco Bay. No restrooms are available.
Skyline Ridge Open Space Preserve
This preserve boasts two ponds for nature study and bird watching. Both Alpine Pond and Horseshoe Lake feature trails designed for wheelchair access. A smooth level trail surrounds Alpine Pond. Next to the pond are the fully accessible David C. Daniels Nature Center and a floating pier, a wonderful destination for the whole family. There is a restroom at this location. Horseshoe Lake provides visitors with a more rural preserve experience. A trail extends from the designated disabled parking area and continues hugging the shoreline of Horseshoe Lake for approximately a quarter of a mile. There is a bench along this trail, offering a spot to sit and enjoy the preserve.
Stevens Creek Shoreline Nature Study Area
This bayfront preserve, located adjacent to Mountain View Shoreline Park, is another great place for bird watching at the bay. The trail is level with an aggregate surface along a levee, extending approximately 1/4 mile along the western preserve boundary. Accessible restrooms are available in Shoreline Park. Access to the preserve is through Mountain View's Shoreline Park.
Windy Hill Open Space Preserve
The picnic area at the upper end of Windy Hill Open Space Preserve is wheelchair accessible. Three tables are located in a grassy area with beautiful views overlooking Portola Valley. This area is immediately adjacent to the parking area. There is a wheelchair-accessible restroom, however the trails leading out from the picnic area are not wheelchair accessible.

When the most recent class of local graduates took the ACT exam, around half earned reading scores showing they were ready for college classes.
The scores for the others were low enough that school officials are concerned those students could have problems keeping up with their peers when they get to college.
That worries at least one local principal, who said college-bound students will need strong reading skills to succeed in postsecondary classes.
The ACT is one of two tests students commonly take as part of their college application, and colleges use students' scores to determine whether they'll be accepted and whether they'll receive scholarship money. The exam tests students in four areas: English, math, reading and science.
Local high schools also look at the average scores of students taking the test. They compare the scores to past years to see how well they're preparing students for college. The ACT company provides benchmarks for each section of the test and indicates if students' test scores meet or exceed those and whether the students are considered prepared for college-level work.
The average scores from students at Center Grove, Franklin and Nineveh-Hensley-Jackson schools all met or exceeded the recommended scores on each section of the test. Students' average scores from those three school districts along with Greenwood schools also met or exceeded the state's average scores, according to ACT college-readiness reports from each area high school.
According to the report, between 46 percent and 61 percent of this year's local graduates who took the ACT earned a score that showed they're ready for college-level reading assignments or social science courses.
Whiteland Community High School had the lowest percentage of students surpassing the reading benchmark, while Indian Creek High School had the highest. Half of the students at Edinburgh Community High School showed they were prepared for college-level reading courses, while Franklin and Greenwood each had 54 percent of graduates surpass the reading benchmark, according to the reports. Rates for Center Grove High School were not available.
"That is such an important skill across the board," Franklin Principal Doug Harter said. "If our students are at 54 percent college readiness, that's not acceptable."
Harter is concerned that the rate of Franklin students passing the reading benchmark on the ACT has dropped. In 2010, 62 percent of Franklin students who took the test met or exceeded the reading benchmark for college readiness, and that rate increased to 67 percent in 2012, according to the report.
Then in 2013, the rate fell to 54 percent, where it remained this year.
Franklin's average reading score this year exceeded both the ACT benchmark and the state average, but that could have been because several individual students earned reading scores high enough to increase the school's overall score. That doesn't make up for the fact that just under half of the high school's college-bound graduates showed that they weren't prepared for college-level reading questions, Harter said.
He said he will spend the rest of the school year reviewing what changes can be made to improve students' reading abilities.
Teachers in all subjects, including math and science, recently started making reading a regular part of their assignments, and Harter wants that to continue. In math, for example, students will have to answer more word problems. In order to solve those problems, they'll need to fully understand the question, Harter said.
Franklin also is reviewing its honors and college-level courses to see how to better prepare students for college-level work.
Last school year, professors from Ball State University interviewed students and teachers in higher-level courses and sat in on college-level classes. Harter cited one note from the professors: The high school can do a better job of providing more rigorous and challenging assignments and opportunities for high-ability students who are capable of completing them.
"That might relate to this, because ACT (tests) your college-bound kids. Maybe we're not pushing our top kids enough so that they're scoring at a higher rate," Harter said.
