Skip to comments.Establishment Republican Jeb Bush Launches Ad Campaign Supporting Common Core
Posted on 03/20/2014 10:20:06 PM PDT by lowbridge
Jeb Bushs foundation is behind a new advertising campaign supporting the controversial Common Core math and language academic standards.
Learn More, Go Further, produced by the former Florida governors Foundation for Excellence in Education, is a series of digital videos which will run for the next 10 weeks featuring four teachers (who volunteered) explaining Common Core and answering questions about the program.
The campaign will also extend to social media, providing interactive maps to point out the areas where the standards have met challenges from legislators and the public.
(Excerpt) Read more at libertynews.com ...
Sounds like he'd make a GREAT limited government Republican presidential candidate! I wonder if he'd consider running?
Dumb your kids down, flood the country with foreigners, you're "not fertile enough".
The man is a domestic enemy.
He's a common core RINO, that's for sure.
Eat more, get fatter.
Jeb "el Heffe" Bush wants a poorly educated impoverished population to support the strongman "poppa" leader.
He's anti-American TRASH.
Common Core State Standards Initiative
Unsurprisingly, what's missing from Common Core is the teaching of the federal government's constitutionally-limited powers, including the Supreme Court's clarification of limits on Congress's power to lay taxes.
Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States. Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
He's a company man.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME????!!!!! What the HELL does this mean???
What on GOD'S green earth does this mean??? Who in the heck could
EVER figure this crap out???
I'm all for a Jeb Bush run in 2016. I'll charter all his campaign flights on Malaysian Airways Boeing 777's.
That's unfathomable.
My son-in-law is a bonafide quantum physicist and sneezes math equations in his sleep.
His reactions was after looking at it carefully was, "What the hell is this?"
As long as there functional morons running around right wing websites telling conservatives that we must win 'no matter what', you will have enough people to elect any number of Jebs. Because as we saw last time, they will throw principle to the wind to vote for the lib and claim no choice.
They have a choice. And they choose to empower RINO/Liberals.
It is for that reason that I think efforts to "take over" or "reform" the Republican party are a waste of time and resources. They've abandoned principle, it's time to abandon that organization and build a new organization. Rather than spending time and resources to fight them we should spend time and resources to fight Democrats. As it is now we have to fight two parties, and one of them is in our decision loop. Is it any surprise that we fail?
So they are teaching to start with the lower number, add up to easy numbers in sequence, and then add up the steps it took to get there.
What over complicated IDIOCY.
I must be an idiot because, no matter how many times I see that, I cannot understand it. I have no clue where these numbers are coming from or why? Inefficient???? I consider myself a bit of a numberhead, but this has me stumped.
without the GOPe, where would the dems get any ideas at all?
Yup. I get that people hate to admit they were wrong. I get that no one likes throwing in the towel.
The right wing has said for 30 years that we were gonna 'reform' the GOP. 30 years.
Just how long do people plan on kicking the can? "This is the most important election ever!" Just like the last one. "We gotta band together this time! We'll sort out the rinos and hold their feet to the fire next time! This one is too important!" Just like the last one.
We have about 5, maybe, people in the party worth crap and the entire funding structure backing the RINO wing. Someone tell me with a straight face that it gets 'reformed' or taken from within. Go ahead. Anyone wanna embarrass themselves?
We either stand on principle and vote for what we believe in, taking the chance that enough will stand with us or we accept Republican Dhimmitude. Because there ain't no 'fixing' this political abortion.
OK, now I get it. Thank you.
A "trick" for quick mental arithmetic - if that's what this is - can come later. First, learn to add subtract multiply and divide.
As another Bush would say, "that's some fuzzy math".
I honestly have no idea what they are doing.
This is great. He's hitching himself to a program universally reviled by everyone on the right and on the left.
My daughters had that crap. Math facts were not allowed - illegal in that a teacher would get in "trouble" for teaching them. So my wife and another gal went in everyday and sat in the hall doing flash cards with all of the kids. Luckily the Principal let them do it.
My one daughter had trouble with the new way - as did I! So I had to figure it out to try to help her. We gave up as she could answer them correctly on the homework and tests - even though she got marked down for doing it the "wrong" way. A good lesson to teach a fourth grader - some times the people in authority are idiots.
Her identical twin sister took to the new way quickly!? Thank goodness they both still know their math facts though. Helping them with high school homework I can't imagine if they didn't know their adding, subtracting, and multiplication in their head. Like finding the common denominators, common square roots, etc.
I actually do something like that in my head sometimes if I'm not too worried if I screw up. It is rounding up or down to an easier number and then adding in the numbers you added or subtracted.
BUT - hard to do if you don't know your math facts (flash cards) - which they don't teach any more.
I'm going to make this short
Ted Cruz for President!
No more Bush!

Welcome to one of the many un-understandable essences of CommonCore.
Good for you. I have a friend who has tutored reading for years. She said that when CommonCore came in the number of kids who need her services have sky-rocketed. For the first time she is having to turn kids away.
The erosion of the American Experience continues unabated,
No , in fact, it's assisted by those who have profited most deliciously from its downfall as they greased the skids.
There ought to be a lesson in there... but seriesly, we're talking Common Core..
I believe this is being done deliberately to discourage parents from home
schooling!!! Mathematical gibberish that makes absolutely NO SENSE!!
Kids today can not count change back or figure out a percentage of something without a calculator such a shame!!!

Bronze !
Hi everyone ....
Kez I am so so sorry to hear of your loss. I hope you can start to heal soon, it's difficult to know what to say except that I have an inkling of what you're going through and wishing you a speedy recovery.
Turquoise, welcome to this thread, it's a great place for support, venting, questions etc etc. I can understand your situation, it's a tough one with your DH. I know everyone is different but I will be 43 when I have this bub, and although I've had two m/c am having a pretty good pregnancy so far (touch wood at 21 weeks). Sounds like the best thing is to see the FS and go from there.
Eloise, what a fantastic outcome from your scan after that early scare ! Well done you & your ovaries ! I hope those follies are growing and will be nice & ready for EPU - All the best hun
Welcome womenindocs, I'm glad you found the thread !
emski, I hope the clinic has a surprise for you today & some more embies make it through for freezing. You never know ! Best of luck with the ones on board, I hope you don't go too crazy in the 2ww
waterlilly, hope you are doing okay. Congrats on getting your braces off, I had braces as an adult & it's the best thing I could've done !
Pilar how are you & your little bean traveling ? Not long now to 12 week scan ! Take care.
Hi pingyrat, Chloe, Hattie, Peaches Luci & everyone else....
*preg mentioned*
AFM, 21 weeks tomorrow, we had our morph scan last week & all is growing where and as it's supposed to be. Ten little fingers, ten little toes and one little .... willy. Yep, we are having a boy. Am feeling okay except that I have pinched a nerve in my lower back which is excruciating & basically has me confined to sitting or lying. I've had a bit of a stiff back & do prenatal yoga, and when I got up to leave the class yesterday felt a huge pinch, OW! I am NOT complaining as I know how lucky I am to have made it this far along but I can't really take too many steps without a massive pain in my back. Have OB appt tomorrow to follow up on my morph scan so hopefully he'll be able to refer me to a physio or similar.

Hello Ladies
Kez71- So sorry to hear of your sad news. My heart goes out to you and I hope your surrounded by family and friends to get you through this difficult time.
Emski72- Good Luck, fingers crossed for you. Thinking of you as I know what the 2WW is like. Take it easy and just keep yourself busy so you don't drive yourself crazy.
EloiseIVF- Fantastic news about your big beautiful follies.
Chloe69- Thank you so much for welcoming me in the group. I honestly understand that the group was sad for Kez71. It is very heartbreaking and I agree Infertility is so unfair.
I always thought from a very young age that I would have 2 children but I only have one and am still desperate for a second child. Honestly it really gets to me and I have my days when I get so despressed over it.
The FS I saw 2 years ago was very good and straight to the point about everything.
The nurse that was taking care of me was brilliant as she was like a sister to me. I could tell her anything and she was so understanding, so I most probably will go back to the same FS as that nurse worked for him.
As for my approach, well firstly I'm overweight so I'm on a diet now and secondly I want to see an Acupuncturist. I've heard that having acupuncture whilst undergoing IVF really helps your treatment.
Waterlilly- Thank you for welcome. It's nice to join a group like this.
Good luck with next cycle
Liltuss- Thank you for your welcoming me onto this group.
Congratulations on a BFP, 21 weeks , that's so exciting for you.
Hope your back gets better soon. I know exactly what you are going through with a pinched nerve in your lower back. I have a disc bulge and it has been caused partly by compressed nerves too and yes it is so painful and annoying somedays. I'm actually seeing a Chiropractor at the moment which is helpng a little.
AFM- At the moment I'm taking Elevit and Vitamin D tablets to help me along my journey. As for my DH he still hasn't come to the party yet and is happy with the one child.
Good luck ladies and hope to hear more BFP.

Hi everyone, just a quick visit....
Liltuss, congrats on your wonderful news, a beautiful baby boy , how wonderful. Ouchh with your back, hope you're feeling a little better today and it comes good soon..... good luck with your OB appt today.
Ellie, good luck for your EPU tomorrow, hope it all goes well!
Em, hope the 2ww isn't too excrutiating for you.
Kez, hope you're doing okay if you're still checking in.... thinking of youxx
Welcome Torquise, I hope you find the support you need in here, CoQ10 and Royal Jelly are often used to help boost egg quality - best of luck to you.
Hey to everyone else . Hope everyone else is well and looking forward to their Easter break.... only a few days now.
Take care all,
Posted 02 April 2012 - 11:39 AM
Hello everyone
Pilar Palabundar- Thank you for welcoming me into the group. I shall definitely try the CoQ10 and the Royal Jelly. I have heard of the CoQ10 but not Royal Jelly so thanks for your advise.
Hope all is well with you and yes I am looking forward to the Easter break too.
Posted 02 April 2012 - 11:48 AM
Hi Ladies
Liltuss - a little boy? wow that's great news. I loved your "little willy" comment. This must make it so much more real knowing the s*x. I hope your back improves soon and doesn't give you too much pain.
Emski - Sorry to hear your other embryos didnt make it to freeze. Hopefully the 2 you have inside are growing along perfectly - remember it only takes 1. How are you feeling now? When is your BT?
Ellie - great news on the 6 follies! By now you may have even recruited more. Sounds like everything is going along really well for you. When is EPU?
Welcome Torquise. I wish you well in your TTC journey. There are few ladies on here who already have one child and on to their 2nd. Great that you have a fantastic FS and you are going back to him. Good luck.
Waterlily - how you are travelling? Are you starting a new cycle soon?
Kez - I hope you are OK.
Pilar - thanks for PM on. So haven't you now hit the 12 week mark? What a milestone!!! And what a relief for you and hubby. Are you going to find out s*x like Liltuss?
Hi Luci/Hattie and anyone else checking in.
Still not much from me. Lap booked in for next Friday 13th. I know I know not the best day but hubby thinks it can mean good luck as well! A lttile nervous about it but great to finally be moving along again.
Have a great week everyone.
Posted 02 April 2012 - 10:34 PM
Ellie - did EPU end up being scheduled for Tuesday? If so, just popping in to wish you luck for tomorrow. Fingers are crossed, breath is being held for you & those multiplying follies! You scored gold in the new forum which I think is always a good sign....
Em - how are your emotions now? Bad news that your 7 embros didn't make it to freeze but good news that you have 2 "potentials" on board. C'mon embies....
Peaches - Friday 13th ....better than your birthday! As you say, good to get going again. I hope the procedure is smooth (as I'm sure it will be).
Torquoise - sounds like you have the supplements covered...just ready for when DH says "yes". Your FN sounds great. I hope that she is still there when you go back.
Womenindocs - how are things with you? Any progress on you trying to carry?
Pilar - how are things going in your world? Details, details.......please!
Liltuss - ooohhh, a little boy. ...how exciting. Now you can start buying clothes! (well, you could before, but now you can buy in blue!) Have you organised a nursery yet?
Waterlily - so you are going to cycle again next month? I'm glad that you feel that you are strong enough now to try again.
Pingy & Kez - thinking of you both.
I've been thinking a bit lately of that woman who had a baby naturally at 50. The odds must have been enormous. She was doing the BD for years and nothing happened...I wonder what changed to enable her to conceive......my FS tells me that once you've gone past 43 (my age) your odds are really low....but really you must have a chance past that....things have just got to align.....it would be nice if they figured out what thost "things" are that have to "align" and then we could do them....
The other reason that I think you must have a reasonable chance past that age is another FS told me that they are also working on developing a pill specifically for older woman....as woman don't want to get pregnant in their mid to late 40s and the normal pill isn't always best for their bodies...so there is enough demand to develop a post 40s pill....go figure...
Anyway, I'm just thinking out loud....have a great day everyone!
Posted 03 April 2012 - 03:46 PM
I drink to that Hattie. The stim cycle I had my son we drank a bottle of sparkling. I had no idea I was not suppose to take alcohol during the time of taking the drugs. When I asked about alcohol after that, I don�t know for what reason, FS said one glass is OK.!!!
Looks like AF is on her way. Tomorrow is our 3rd wedding anniversary. We are going out for dinner. So we are going to share another bottle !!!. That will give my eggs a bubbling start.
Posted 03 April 2012 - 09:18 PM
Giggle...so alcohol is the answer? (Slaps forehead)....
thanks for the insight Hattie - I love the formula!
Waterlily - Happy anniversary.

Ellie. Good luck with the EPU today.
AFM: Going to start my cycle today. Day 1.
Posted 04 April 2012 - 10:41 AM
Hello Ladies
Peaches- Good Luck with your Lap on Friday the 13th.
Chloe69- I know I now need to get my DH to come to the party. At the moment he still doesn't want to know. I don't know what I'm doing about my FS appointment at the end of this month. I was thinking that I might even give the FN a call to see if she is still working for the FS I'm booked with.
I know what you mean about the odds being low at 43. I still think there is hope for all of us in our 40's. I was speaking to a friend and she said her girlfriend had a child at 46, so there is hope I believe.
Saying that I also believe if your meant to have children you will whether it's early or later in life.
Hattie- I love what you wrote, what a laugh!
Obviously you were meant to fall pregnant at that particular time.
Happy Anniversary Hattie
Waterlilly- Good luck with your next cycle
AFM- Just taking my supplements on a daily basis.
Hope you all have a lovely Easter break

Hey gang, just a quickie as just back from EPU. Four eggs from the six follies - not too shabby for a geriatric with LOR Gotta go sleeeeeeeep.... Love Ellie x
Posted 04 April 2012 - 06:12 PM
Hi, I'm another newbie here, I tried the "over 40 and TTC naturally" group but there doesn't seem to be anything happening over there. I turned 40 just before Christmas and have a 21 month old DD. DH would dearly love another, but I'm still not sure if it's possible (I'm not young, we are both overweight, but I have been going to a dietitian and doing bootcamp and personal training 5 days a week to try and lose the baby weight I gained with DD). However I'm willing to give it a go. I went to see my GP earlier this week to ensure all health checks are up to date. She said just to try for 6 months, then come back, but I think that if nothing happens by mid year, I will be back knocking on the door.
Posted 04 April 2012 - 09:02 PM
Sorry just a quickie - glad to here EPU went well Eloise!
I'll come back later and write some more!

Posted 05 April 2012 - 10:12 AM
Hi all,
hope everyone is going well!
Welcome Spring Rain you're always welcome here!
Waterlilly hope you're going ok - what kind of cycle are you doing?
Lol@ Hattie's technique for BFP success - now that's a routine I could stick to!
How are you going Pingyrat? Haven't seen you in here for a while
Eloise hope you're feeling ok after your EPU.
Hello to you Peaches, Liltuss and Chloe - hope you're all going well! And hello to anyone I've missed (there are quite a few on this thread!)
What's everyone up to for Easter? I hope you're all doing something you love.
AFM - technically 10DPO today and BFN this morning - I normally have an 11 day LP so not holding out much hope, feeling like Af is coming this morning. The only thing giving me hope is I had a massive head spin yesterday at work, and another smaller one this morning and shooting pains up my left boob last night, few niggling cramps here and there - but that's about the extent of it. Fully expecting to get AF tomorrow.
I've got my 40th Birthday lunch on Saturday as DP was away for my actual birthday -so that will be fun - if AF shows I'll have a few reds! We are going to take the next cycle 'off' (no frozen embies to work with anyway) and pick up again in May/June. So I'll have a chance to use my kick ass new coffee machine I got from DP with 'real' coffee for a week or so. I'm looking on the bright side.
What's everyone up to for Easter?
Em x
Posted 05 April 2012 - 05:20 PM
I was waiting for the lab to call about my transfer time tomorrow; then the phone rang and I heard my FS's voice on the other end of the line and the bottom just fell out of my world. I had no fertilisations. I had just enough time to walk calmly from my office to my car and get out of the work carpark before I fell to pieces. He said my eggs were very good quality and the sperm was also good, but for some inexplicable reason the sperm could not penetrate the eggs. He said a range of other stuff, but really I'm too upset right now even to be able to type it. He says I can go again when AF comes and that next time he'll do ICSI. I asked why it wasn't done this time if they could see they weren't fertilising. He gave me an answer, but really I don't think I even remember what it was. DH is just shattered and neither of us have any comfort reserves to give the other. We're just both trying to keep our own heads above water. And nobody else knows we're doing IVF - well, nobody but you guys. I see babies everywhere. I saw a woman screaming at a toddler in the supermarket and yanking him along by the arm. I wanted to whack her over the head with a massive bottle of Coke and scream at her to be grateful for the gift she had. I know you've all been here at some point. Some of you multiple times. It doesn't get worse than this, does it? Because this is really stretching me.
Em, I'm so sorry to hear you think AF is coming. I so hope you are wrong, because I don't want anyone else to have to feel this way.
Posted 05 April 2012 - 09:35 PM
Hi EloiseIVF
I'm so sorry to hear about your sad news. My heart goes out to you and I hope that you and your DH have the fighting strength to get through this difficult time.
Like you I never told the whole family (besides our Mums) about our IVF journey as my DH and I felt that the less people knew about it the better. So honestly if you need to vent your frustrations and sadness please do.
I know that when I had a miscarriage 2 years ago (IVF), my DH and I were both distraught and like you I couldn't cope seeing a woman pushing a pram whilst I was driving to work. It really tore my heart out and I just couldn't cope. I am better now but obviously I still have my moments.
Thinking of you both and take care of yourselves.
If you would like to PM me please do.
Posted 05 April 2012 - 11:17 PM
EloiseIVF, I am sorry to hear your news
thanks for the welcome everyone, hope all of you have a good Easter break.
Posted 06 April 2012 - 07:54 AM
Eloise, so sorry to hear that. Please keep positive, it's so horrible that at any stage in this journey the rug can be ripped out from under you, I understand that. Take all the time you need to feel sad, you have every right to. Re-group, and we're all be here to support you. Em x
Posted 06 April 2012 - 03:39 PM
Happy Easter girls!
Ellie - I'm so sorry none of your eggs fertilised On the bright side, some of us have had great success with ICSI of late. You said your egg quality and your DP's sperm were both good so that's great. If the sperm couldn't penetrate the egg, then ICSI will side-step this problem and hopefully, all will be fine.
Em - I'm sorry about your BFN yesterday. I really admire your attitude though....enjoy your birthday lunch and the red wine and coffee. I am a big believer in having a little consolation prize
spring_rain - Welcome! I hope the 6 months yields success for you and that you won't have to become a more regular member of the group. If not, we will be waiting to welcome you back and cheer you on.
waterlilly - Good luck with your new cycle. How are you feeling about getting back on the horse?
Hattie - Love it! Your experience just proves that we don't have to obsess over every little thing we do....thank you!
Chloe - I hope everything is going well for you. I get sick of hearing all the doom and gloom about conceiving over 40. There are loads of stories about women having healthy babies well into their 40's see the 'Has anyone got any positive stories?' thread in the Older Mums and Mums to be forum....very interesting!
Peaches - Bah! Friday the 13th doesn't deserve it's bad rap. I tend to agree with your DH. You'll be just fine
Pilar - Hope everything is going well for you.
Liltuss - Fantastic news that your scan went well and that you have a little willy!! I hope your back is feeling better.
Turquoise - A belated welcome to you. I remember you from Over 40 and ttc naturally. You were before my time but I did pretty much read every post in the entire history of the thread before I started participating I do hope your DH changes his mind. For what it's worth, my DP already had three kids when we met and was adamant from the beginning that he didn't want any more but he came around eventually.
Kez - I hope you are ok
AFM - Had my FET on wednesday so I'm now officially back in looney land. DP agreed to transferring two so I'm happy about that. It's a completely drug free cycle which is also fantastic. I've been cranky for about three weeks now so I'm wondering if all the drugs from the stim cycle affected me a bit more than I realised

Posters will be displayed Thursday through Saturday (most undergraduate posters will be displayed Friday and Saturday) in the exhibit hall. Authors are present to answer questions and distribute copies of their paper. Unless informed otherwise by the section head, authors are expected to be present for the entire session.
Well-conceived poster presentations provide easily comprehensible findings. The materials should exploit the visual aspect of the poster format. For example, the use of color can highlight key aspects of an analysis, an effective way to help the viewer focus on elements the author believes are most important. Graphs or tables may be better presented on larger pages. Simply attaching the pages of a paper to the display panel does not constitute a poster presentation.
The posters will be organized by section to encourage more conference attendees to visit the posters. Each presenter will be assigned to a numbered display panel.
The poster materials are attached to an 8' by 4' display panel. Presenters need to arrive 15 minutes before their session begins and have all presentation materials prepared for quick assembly. Push pins supplied at each display panel can be used to attach poster materials to the panels. Presenters must remove their materials from the display panels at the end of their session for the next presenter.

Anyone know when the Pirates are going to trade that Andrew McCutchen guy?
End to End: Which Flyer has the most to lose in 2016-17?
End to End: Which Flyer has the most to lose in 2016-17?
Each week, we'll ask questions about the Flyers to our resident hockey analysts and see what they have to say.
Going End to End this week are Tom Dougherty, Jordan Hall and Greg Paone, all producers/reporters for CSNPhilly.com.
The question: Which Flyer has the most to lose in 2016-17?
What Shayne Gostisbehere accomplished in his rookie season was unforgettable. He set Flyers records, broke some NHL rookie records and finished with 17 goals in 64 games.
The list can go on and on. He can become the first Flyer to win the Calder Trophy when the NHL Awards are announced on June 22. We all want to see what "Ghost" can do as an encore.
But now Gostisbehere has expectations. Lofty expectations — fair or not.
Gostisbehere will be expected to quarterback the power play, a job he excelled at this season and wrangled away from Mark Streit, whose injury paved the way for his call-up.
In addition, Gostisbehere will be asked to produce offensively and consistently as well as continue to hone his defensive game, which still has areas that needs improvement.
Seventeen goals will be difficult to duplicate and we should not hold him to — or expect — that number again in his sophomore season. We should all temper our expectations.
But the reason I believe Gostisbehere has the most to lose in 2016-17 is because he's very much still a growing product. There will be growing pains and should he hit those next season, how will he bounce back from it? Defensemen generally develop at a slower pace than forwards, and for Gostisbehere to enjoy so much success in Year 1, how will he react to a step backward in 2016-17? It's a weighted response and one that's geared more toward the long-term, but to me, Gostisbehere has the most to lose next season.
I believe Matt Read will be back next season.
After all, he's under contract through the 2017-18 campaign.
But his leash will be as short as it's even been. At 30 years old, he'll be fighting just to dress. And when he gets playing time, he'll have to do enough to show he deserves it over other candidates, many of which will be young, spry and hungry for jobs.
Read said he learned a lot last season.
Will he make adjustments and carve out a role in Dave Hakstol's system?
Next season, we'll get an answer.
If he doesn't, his time in Philadelphia could quickly dissolve.
And who knows what that would mean for his NHL career.
Want to talk about having something to lose? How about possibly losing a job, which is a very real possibility for Scott Laughton next season.
The young forward, who will turn 22 on Monday, posted seven goals and 14 assists in a career-high 71 games this season. But much more telling was the fact he found himself in the press box as a healthy scratch down the stretch, as Dave Hakstol felt there were better options as the team completed its improbable run to the playoffs. And that came after he was moved from his natural center position to the wing for the first time since he represented Canada in the world junior tournament.
His inconsistency has come a pretty bad time because as more and more talented prospects come through the system, roster spots with the big club become more and more precious. Laughton will need to have a very good summer and training camp to earn his spot again. The forward prospects will push him during camp, which could be a good thing. But even if Laughton makes the Flyers out of camp when the season starts, the leash could still be short.
Ron Hextall makes no bones about how he prefers to hold on to young talent and let it develop. But we could be at the point where the Flyers want to see Laughton take the next step. And it could be a much different story if you replace young talent with young talent.
Eagles mailbag: Jordan Matthews, injury concern, leading rusher
Eagles mailbag: Jordan Matthews, injury concern, leading rusher
Another day, another mailbag.
I hope you're enjoying your Memorial Day Weekend. If you're reading this on the beach or at a BBQ, well done.
Yesterday, I answered the first round of your questions about Doug Pederson, Brandon Spikes and the possibility of adding another running back.
Today, I'll answer some more:
@DZangaroCSN @CSNPhilly does Pederson keep Matthews in the slot?— Jackson (@sportsanger) May 27, 2016
At times, Jordan Matthews will still be in the slot this season. But he won't be there all the time.
In Doug Pederson's offense, the receivers will move around quite a bit, which means we'll see Matthews lining up out wide on both sides and in the slot. He has the ability to do both. Either way, he's going to be on the field. He's clearly the Eagles' best receiver and they're not going to take him off the field.
I think there's a good chance we'll see some Josh Huff in the slot this year, which would make a ton of sense to me. Huff is at his best when he gets the ball in his hands and can make something happen. He's shifty enough to play in the middle.
The idea that slot receivers are just small, shifty guys is outdated. It's all about matchups and Pederson won't be afraid to move his receivers around to find the best ones.
@DZangaroCSN @CSNPhilly what player can the eagles least afford to lose to a long term injury— Bobby Martin (@MistaFlame) May 27, 2016
Good question. I'll give you two names. One on offense and one on defense.
Now, I didn't just pick the best players, I picked the best players with the biggest drop off to their backups. So on offense, it's Jason Peters and on defense it's Jordan Hicks.
The scary thing: it wouldn't be shocking if either of these two go down in 2016.
If Peters goes down, the Eagles will be fine at left tackle, because Lane Johnson will shift over. But that means either Dennis Kelly or Halapoulivaati Vaitai will come in. We all know what's happened in the past when Kelly comes in, and Vaitai is just a rookie. Not a ton of great depth at tackle.
As for Hicks, we saw what happened to the defense when he went out last season. And this year, the team has virtually no depth at linebacker. If Hicks went down, either veteran special teams player Najee Goode or rookie Joe Walker would need to fill in. Yikes.
@DZangaroCSN @CSNPhilly who do you think will lead the team in rushing this year? I think this will be a much improved offensive line.— Hollinger (@dahollinger) May 27, 2016
I understand it's kind of a cop-out to just pick the top running back on the depth chart, but that's what I'm doing. I know Ryan Mathews has a lengthy injury history, but I can't see Darren Sproles, Wendell Smallwood or Kenjon Barner being the team's leading rusher.
And when healthy, Mathews was the team's best running back in 2015, going for 539 yards on 106 carries, an average of 5.1 yards per attempt. If he manages to play 12 games this year, I think he'll be the team's leading rusher.
Today's Lineup: Tommy Joseph, Andres Blanco in to help avoid sweep vs. Cubs
Today's Lineup: Tommy Joseph, Andres Blanco in to help avoid sweep vs. Cubs
Seeking to avoid being swept for the first time since their opening series in Cincinnati, the Phillies on Sunday afternoon will ask Tommy Joseph to provide a much needed spark.
Joseph, 24, sat out Saturday's 4-1 loss to the MLB-best Cubs with Chicago trotting out right-handed pitcher Kyle Hendricks, who crafted a five-hit, one-run complete game masterpiece.
It will be Joseph's fifth game against a righty this week, as manager Pete Mackanin's platoon at first base with Ryan Howard seemingly is coming to an end. Joseph will bat fifth.
With the Phillies averaging 3.22 runs per game, second-worst in baseball, and owning a run differential of minus-38, playing Joseph more is one of a few moves Mackanin can make.
Take into account Howard's average dipped to .154 after an 0 for 4, two-strikeout game Saturday, the decision to give Joseph more at-bats makes sense. It has for a while now.
Plus, Joseph has enjoyed success during his time up with the Phillies. The first baseman is hitting .290 with two home runs and four RBIs. He is, however, hitting just .211 with seven of his 10 strikeouts in 19 at-bats against righties. He'll face a good one in John Lackey (4-2, 3.32) on Sunday.
Mackanin has also decided to start Andres Blanco at second base against Chicago, which has proved to be too much for the Phils through the first two games. Blanco, 32, will bat third against Lackey, who he has never faced in his career. The utility man is hitting .281 with one long ball and eight RBIs in 35 games this season.
In other lineup news, the Cubs will start Villanova product Matt Szczur in left field in the series finale, giving Jorge Soler the day off. During his junior baseball season at 'Nova in 2010, Szczur took time off to donate bone marrow that helped saved a young girl in Ukraine. (Read more on Szczur here from CSNPhilly.com's Jim Salisbury.) Szczur is hitting .375 with two homers and 12 RBIs in 40 at-bats this season with Chicago.
Here are today's full lineups:
1. Odubel Herrera, CF
2. Freddy Galvis, SS
3. Andres Blanco, 2B
4. Maikel Franco, 3B
5. Tommy Joseph, 1B
6. Cameron Rupp, C
7. Tyler Goeddel, LF
8. Vince Velasquez, P
9. Peter Bourjos, RF
1. Dexter Fowler, CF
2. Jayson Heyward, RF
3. Kris Bryant, 3B
4. Anthony Rizzo, 1B
5. Ben Zobrist, 2B
6. Miguel Montero, C
7. Addison Russell, SS
8. Matt Szczur, LF
9. John Lackey, P

The Greatest Potential Impact of Computing Education: Performamatics & Non-Majors
We've had Jesse Heines of U. Massachusetts at Lowell visiting with us for the last couple weeks. He gave a GVU Brown Bag talk on Thursday about his Performamatics project — which has an article in this month's IEEE Computer! Jesse has been teaching a cross-disciplinary course on computational thinking, where he team teaches with a music teacher. Students work in Scratch to explore real music and real computing. For example, they start out inventing musical notations for "found" instruments (like zipping and unzipping a coat), and talk about the kinds of notations we invent in computer science. I particularly enjoyed this video of the music teacher, Alex Ruthmann, performing an etude through live coding.
Jesse and I talked afterward: Where does this go from here? Where could Performamatics have its greatest impact? We talked about how these music examples could be used in introductory computing courses (CS1 and CS2), but that's not what's most exciting. Is the greatest potential impact of computing education creating more CS majors, creating more developers? Developers do have a lot of impact, because they build the software that fuels our world (or maybe, that eats our world). But developers don't have a monopoly on impact.
I argued that the greatest impact for computing educators is on the non-majors and their attitudes about computing. I showed him some quotes that Brian Dorn collected in his ICER 2010 paper about adult graphics designers (who have similar educational backgrounds and interests to Jesse's non-majors) on their attitudes about computer scientists:
P2: I went to a meeting for some kind of programmers, something or other. And they were OLD, and they were nerdy, and they were boring! And I'm like, this is not my personality. Like I can't work with people like that. And they worked at like IBM, or places like that. They've been doing, they were working with Pascal. And I didn't…I couldn't see myself in that lifestyle for that long.
P5: I don't know a whole ton of programmers, but the ones I know, they enjoy seeing them type up all these numbers and stuff and what it makes things do. Um, whereas I just do it, to get it done and to get paid. To be honest. The design aspect is what really interests me a lot more.
These are adults, perhaps not much different than your state or federal legislators, your school administrators, or even your CEO. Brian's participants are adults who don't think much of computer scientists and what they do. There are a lot of adults in the world who don't think much of computer scientists, despite all evidence of the value of computing and computing professionals in our world.
Will Jesse's students think the same things about computer scientists 5 years after his course? 10 years later? Or will they have new, better-informed views about computer science and computer scientists? The 2005 paper by Scaffidi, Shaw, and Myers predicted 3 million professional software developers in the US by 2012, and 13 million professionals who program but aren't software developers. That's a lot of people programming without seeing themselves as computer scientists or developers. Would even more program if they weren't predisposed to think that computer science is so uninteresting?
That's where I think the greatest impact of work like Performamatics might be — in changing the attitudes of the everyday citizens, improving their technical literacy, giving them greater understanding of the computing that permeates their lives, and keeping them open to the possibility that they might be part of that 13 million that needs to use programming in their careers. There will only be so many people who get CS degrees. There will be lots of others who will have attitudes about computing that will influence everything from federal investments to school board policies. It's a large and important impact to influence those attitudes.
No cost for cheerleading or band instead of CS? Offer remedial classes for those who missed CS?
I got beat up a bit after my talk at TTU Tapestry a couple weeks ago. Two teachers from the same school stopped me at lunch, after my keynote, and complained about how we at Georgia Tech run our CS1 for Engineers in MATLAB. "How can you expect students to be able to succeed in a programming course, with no high school CS? Why don't you offer some starter course with no programming first?" I tried to explain that students do succeed in all three of our CS1's with no previous programming experience, and our data suggest that students learn and succeed (e.g., relatively small percentage drop-out or fail) in these courses. (This is in sharp contrast to the Peter Norvig piece about learning Java in 21 days.)
As the teachers went on with their complaints about me and Georgia Tech, more of the story came out. Some of their students had gone to Georgia Tech in Engineering, had floundered in the CS for Engineers course, and were calling these high school teachers regularly for help. "They spend a huge amount of hours working in labs! More than others in their class, because they didn't get the chance to take CS in high school. Some kids have band or cheerleading, and they can't fit CS in. That shouldn't mean that they have to spend so much extra time in lab to catch up!"
It's that last argument that I had the most trouble with. Their students didn't have the background knowledge in CS. It seems clear to me that those students should have to work harder than those that have the background knowledge. That the teachers thought that the extra work was unusual or extreme surprised me. There was an implicit assumption that, because these students didn't get the background classes due to band and cheerleading, we at Georgia Tech should provide remedial classes. To be clear, it's not that the CS wasn't offered at their high school. Their school has two CS teachers. It's just that cheerleading and band took priority over preparing for the Engineering program at Georgia Tech, which requires computer science.
What is the expectation of high school teachers for the workload in CS1? What is the expectation of high school teachers for what College CS classes will demand? Is it reasonable to expect Colleges to provide the introductory classes that others get in high school? Maybe it is reasonable for Colleges to provide more high school level classes, especially if we want to grow enrollment. But I do worry about the perspective that says that it's reasonable to skip the intellectual background classes because of non-academic activities. I have nothing against non-academic activities like band and cheerleading. However, the non-academic activities are not an excuse for a lack of background knowledge for higher-education — and if you do miss the background classes, you should expect to have to work harder when you get to College.
Shrinking our turf: Defining CS out of Interaction Design
A member of the SIGCSE mailing list asked the other day for recommendations on teaching a course on "HCI or Interaction Design." We at Georgia Tech teach a variety of undergraduate and graduate courses like that, and I figured that lots of others do, too. I was surprised at some of the responses:
- "Our main theme was that computer scientists should know how to implement interfaces but should not try to design them. Frankly, I've not seen any evidence that has changed my mind since then."
- "My personal experience with over 20 years of teaching GUIs is that CS students can be taught to be quite good at the software development aspects of GUIs, that they can be taught to at least understand good interaction design techniques, but that it does not really resonate with them and they do not tend to do it well, and that most of them are hopeless with respect to artistic design."
Wolfram on the importance of computing for understanding the world
Spending too much time in airports lately, I've been catching up on some of my TED video watching — the ones that everyone says I have to watch, but I didn't have time until now. One of those that I watched recently was Stephen Wolfram's on A New Kind of Science and Wolfram-Alpha. I realized that he's really making a computing education argument. He explicitly is saying that computing is necessary for understanding the natural world, and all scientists need to learn about computation in order to make the next round of discoveries about how our universe works.
Drill bits and Eclipse — it's really all about the same
Really? CS is just another form of shop class? Really?
That response heartens Paula M. Krebs, a professor of English at Wheaton College, in Massachusetts, who said she has worried that higher education "could succumb to the language of utility." Colleges shouldn't be judged, she argued, on graduates' first jobs out but rather on the intellectual foundation they provide.
After all, says Ms. Krebs, now an American Council on Education fellow at the University of Massachusetts, "no one thinks high school should be training for the work world only. No one advocates a high-school curriculum of just shop classes, or just computer-science courses. You have to take English, math, history."

If you want CS in High School, Require CS in College
Getting high-quality computer science education into high school would likely smooth out undergraduate enrollment. Rather than the spikes that we get when a new computational technology makes waves, and the lulls when students realize that they don't know what computer science is, we would have better-informed students. Getting computer science into all high schools would mean that a more diverse population would get to try out computer science, and may discover that they like it. But how do we get good computer science education into high schools? Maybe we take a lesson from Calculus.
In 2010, 245,867 students took the AP Calculus AB test (to contrast with 20,210 AP CS Level A test takers.) That's evidence that there is a lot of calculus in high schools. How did that happen? Was there a drive to push calculus into all state's curricula? (I don't remember ever hearing about "Calculus in the Core"? Was there a national effort to convert existing math teachers into Calculus teachers? Did the Colleges tell the high schools, "We need students who are calculus-literate"?
Here's my take on how it happened, based on what histories I can find and the growth of Calculus II in high schools. Colleges and universities taught Calculus to undergraduates. The best high schools decided that they would start to teach Calculus, to better prepare their high-achieving students (back in the 1960's). More colleges and more universities started requiring or expecting calculus. More and more high schools tried to raise their prestige by preparing students to teach calculus. Several organizations (College Board, NCTM, MAA) and universities today train teachers to teach calculus, because those teachers and their schools want it.
If we want high schools to teach computer science to college-bound students, colleges and universities must require computer science of all their students. If not require computer science of all undergraduate students, require it for admission–but be prepared to offer remedial classes, since so few high schools do offer good undergraduate-level computer science. If computer science is important enough for high school students, it's important enough for undergraduate students.
Efforts like Computing in the Core and the new AP CS:Principles are great ideas, and I hope that they succeed, but they are top-down efforts. A stronger effect comes bottom-up. We want teachers and administrators to say, "My local college requires CS for everyone. I want my students to be well-prepared for college by already knowing CS when they get in the door!" The bottom-up effort is slower — it's taken decades for calculus to infiltrate high schools to the level that it has. But it's less expensive and makes change happen pervasively.
If we can't convince our peers in the colleges and universities that computer science is important, how are we going to convince the high schools? And if we convince our colleges and universities, the high schools will likely follow. We can follow the Calculus lead.
The PhD factory
This article from Nature has been leading to a lot of discussions where I'm at. It relates to the CRA's call for more discussion about post-docs. Are we producing too many PhDs? Or should we preparing more PhD's for non-academic jobs?
In some countries, including the United States and Japan, people who have trained at great length and expense to be researchers confront a dwindling number of academic jobs, and an industrial sector unable to take up the slack. Supply has outstripped demand and, although few PhD holders end up unemployed, it is not clear that spending years securing this high-level qualification is worth it for a job as, for example, a high-school teacher. In other countries, such as China and India, the economies are developing fast enough to use all the PhDs they can crank out, and more — but the quality of the graduates is not consistent. Only a few nations, including Germany, are successfully tackling the problem by redefining the PhD as training for high-level positions in careers outside academia.

Secondary Recovery
Water Flood
Water flooding is a secondary recovery strategy which involves the injection of water into the oil reservoir to improve its recovery factor – get more of the oil out! The process begins with a good understanding of the reservoir (the rock) and the fluids (the oil). Some reservoirs are more amenable to water flooding than others, and the oil viscosity is very important to determining the success of the program. Generally one wants the oil viscosity to be less that 1,000 cP or centipoise (similar to motor oil) to have a successful flood.
To implement a water flood we start by drilling water injection wells (or converts producing wells) along a defined pattern. Water is then injected into these wells to first replace the oil that has already been produced, and then to pressure the reservoir back up to the bubble point – the pressure where the gas dissolved in the oil bubbles up. Once this pressure is reached we will begin to see a production response at the producing wells (in between the injectors). As we continue to inject water at the injectors, oil will be pushed (swept) to the producers, and larger amount of oil will ultimately be recovered.
At Rock's Mantario pool we are proceeding to begin water injection by the third quarter of 2014 so that we can ensure maintenance of the reservoir pressure above the bubble point. By being pro-active, we will avoid the production of significant gas which would occur as the gas bubbles out, prevent the increase in viscosity due to the release of the gas, and avoid any pre mature production decline. This strategy will provide the highest possible recovery factor, and a stable production profile.

Some can take it better than others. I also have seen the effects of a fighter getting KO'd and then being susceptible to it happening again. So I think both can be very dangerous and bad to be honest, but it depends on the individual.

Sustained beatings and lights-out KOs are both terrible. I'm not sure how to pick. The answer is, boxing is terrible for your long term health, period. If you're a boxer, you're far more likely to suffer early onset dementia and emotional and impulse control problems. This isn't anything new.

12 round beating by far. Its one thing to lose on a single punch that can happen ko you, as it can happen to anyone at any given time, but consistent punishment really questions ones true ability. If Oscar had been dominating Manny, and Manny landed one shot to end it, I'll bet the farm that he wouldnt have retired. Its those sustained beatings that more times than not, show if if fighter belongs in the same class as his opponent, or even worse....make one finally realize that their time has come and gone, and the end is near.

Enjoying the read. And looking forward to the movie.
I enjoyed this book and passed on for the extended family of booklovers to enjoy as well. Thoroughly good read, well written, easy to enjoy. I bought because of good reviews and was not disappointed.
I tracked down this title because of a wonderful review in the Sunday Star Times. I admit I may be the wrong demographic for this love story. I thought it lacked the charm of Starter For Ten, also by this author. It is a quick, pleasant read.

Over the July 4th weekend I acquired a new to me Trek Pilot 2.1 (2005 model) It has a 105 group with a triple crank. I also have my Blue Velvet Long Haul Trucker.
Today marked my first commute on the new Trek. I'm putting as many miles on it as possible before July 17, with the intent of deciding which bike I'll be riding in RAIN (Ride Across INdiana - 160 miles Illinois to Ohio)
I thought maybe you would be willing to look at and offer suggestions based on some ride data I have....
Bike To Work June 7, 2011 Surly Long Haul Trucker: http://connect.garmin.com/activity/90770699

Bike From Work July 5, 2011 (Pilot): http://connect.garmin.com/activity/97098950
Looking at the heart rate, it looks like I may have pushed a little harder this morning than I did on june 7 on the way into work. On the way home however it looks like I didn't push as hard, and still went about 1 mile per hour faster.
Can more experienced Clydes offer suggestions on what I might be able to do to get faster, and more consistent on the bike? Thanks!

Horseshoe Crab
The horseshoe crab (Limulus polyphemus) was designated as the official marine animal symbol for Delaware in 2002. Delaware Bay is the world's largest spawning ground for horseshoe crabs. Considered living fossils, these ancient creatures predate most species on the planet, including flying insects and dinosaurs (they have been around for 450 million years).
Horseshoe crabs are an essential food source for migratory birds on the East coast and are also important to humankind - they are used in vision studies (their 10 eyes have a structure similar to the human eye); their blood protects them from infection and a compound it contains is used to detect bacterial poisons in some human medications; and a natural polymer found in the horseshoe crab's shell (chitin) is used to make bandages.

Celebrate 30 years of Indian tacos, competitive dancing and paying tribute to tradition this year at Albuquerque's own Gathering of Nations. The Gathering is North America's most prominent powwow, and it will host tens of thousands of guests and representatives from more than 700 Native and Aboriginal tribes throughout the United States, Canada and all over to honor Indigenous cultures and traditions through dance, music, food and the crowning of the next Miss Indian World
The United Native Council of New Mexico hosts an all-day celebration of native culture, featuring singing, dancing and eating in Old Town Plaza. Festivities begin at noon on Saturday with a Gourd dance—Southern Drum—followed by a Gourd dance—Northern Drum. The ceremonial rug cutting, consisting of four sets of four songs, probably originated with the Kiowa people, but it's spread throughout many tribes. At 2 p.m. the Jemez Pueblo Singers and Drummers help you work up an appetite; grab some dinner at one of the Old Town eateries. Finally, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., there's a full-on intertribal powwow. For more info on this free event, visit: cabq.gov/cultural.
North America's biggest powwow continues through today and tomorrow, at the University of New Mexico Football Field (University and Avenida Cesar Chavez SE), beginning at 10 a.m. each day. Massive amounts of Native musicians, songwriters and storytellers begin to perform on Stage 49 on Friday. Music includes traditional, blues, rock, jazz, folk, country, hip-hop, metal and reggae. Wristbands for the powwow, Indian Traders Market and music events on Friday and Saturday are $15 per day at the gate (cash only) or $30 for a two-day wristband. See the full schedule of events, and other happenings around the gathering here.

Surly confirms Prospect Park for new brewery location
Surly's proposed $20 million beer palace

The new brewery will allow Surly to increase its production by up to 100,000 barrels a year. In 2012 the brewery produced just shy of 20,000 barrels in its current Brooklyn Center location.
The new building will become what Surly is referring to as a "destination brewery." The location will feature an onsite bar, restaurant, beer garden, and event center and is conveniently located just off the new Central Corridor light rail line.
According to Surly Brewing Co. founder Omar Ansari, ""The Malcolm Midway site has everything we need to build a world-class brewery. We're excited to be moving to a central location that will be a destination for everyone in the Twin Cities."
Surly hopes that cleanup of the new site will begin sometime in the fall.

Mountain View fires superintendent
After sitting at the helm of the Mountain View School District for just under two years, Superintendent Francine Shea's contract was severed by the school board, effective immediately on Monday night.
Ms. Shea was not present at the meeting.
With all school directors present, the board unanimously voted to terminate Ms. Shea. The board exercised its "Right of Unilateral Termination." Under that provision, Ms. Shea can collect five months' salary and personal leave reimbursement. It is not known why the board wanted to terminate her.
Director of Curriculum and Instruction Karen Voigt was appointed to temporarily fill the superintendent's position.
Ms. Shea was hired by the board in June 2012, at a salary of $100,000, and took over the position on July 1, 2012. She replaced Andrew Chichura, who held the position from 2006 to 2012 and from 1984 to 1996.
Her termination comes a full year before her contract was set to expire.

Is anyone else out there using Xylitol as a substitute for sugar? A cardiologist cookbook author suggested that I use it rather than a processed sugar substitute like Splenda - so I did and have never looked back! It tastes and measures exactly like sugar, but has virtually no glycemic index. It's an ideal sweetener for diabetics... and dentists like it because it helps prevert tooth decay.
Xylitol has allowed me to keep my weight on track and still indulge my passion for baking, and then enjoy the fruits of my labors. Here's my latest cake creation that is virtually sugar free (and maybe a little lopsided,) but 100% decadent.
When I get a minute, I'll post the recipe on "Lighten it up."
