Knitter's Review
October 28, 2004
Dough doesn't reach its full potential until it's been baked. Likewise, many yarns don't show you their full beauty until after they've been washed.
This week I review a seemingly mild-mannered
merino-angora blend from Norway
that comes of age the minute it hits warm soapy water.

verb (lots, lotting, lotted)[with object]
- As a result, we have seen a much greater tendency towards the lotting of a property as this allows the market to cater for bids from both types of buyer and hence maximise values.
- The major components of this system are zoning, site plan review and lotting or subdivision of land.
- The following section outlines a system for conducting electronic auctions with aggregate lotting for transformation bidding.
1 The expressions a lot of and lots of are used before nouns to mean 'a large number or amount of'. In common with other words denoting quantities, lot itself does not normally function as a head noun, meaning that it does not itself determine whether the following verb is singular or plural. Thus, although lot is singular in a lot of people, the verb which follows is not singular. In this case the word people acts as the head noun and, being plural, ensures that the following verb is also plural: a lot of people were assembled (not a lot of people was assembled). See also number (usage)2 A lot of and lots of are very common in speech and writing but they still have a distinctly informal feel and are generally not considered acceptable for formal English, where alternatives such as many or a large number are used instead.3 Written as one word alot is incorrect, although not uncommon.
all over the lot
- US informal In a disorganized or confused state: the president has been all over the lot on this issue latelyMore example sentences
- So the Supreme Court is just all over the lot on this.
- The polls have been inconsistent and all over the lot, with the methodology of some coming under attack.
- Scientists are all over the lot on the question, and the issue is so hot politically that it's difficult to trust the science.
a bad lot
- British informal A dishonest person.Example sentences
- He said: 'You are going to tell children, 'Your dad is a bad lot but we are going to make you different from him'.
- As he will attest, even if you don't have the bad luck to move next door to a bad lot, there is still no guarantee that island life is going to be any easier than the grindstone-nosing existence that you left behind.
- You can think somebody is a bad lot, but you have to treat that person equally.
draw (or cast) lots
- Decide by lot: we drew lots to decide the orderMore example sentences
decide randomly, spin/toss a coin, throw dice, draw straws, cut straws, decide on the toss of a coin, decide on the throw of a die, dice, decide on the drawing of straws
- Each year the school chooses a May King and Queen and their attendants by asking for volunteers and then drawing lots to decide who gets the parts.
- As these two young men had been in my platoon it was decided that we would draw lots.
- Legal judgments have sometimes emphasised the fairness of drawing lots to decide matters of life and death.
fall to someone's lot
- Become someone's task or responsibility: they accepted the burden of domestic responsibilities that fell to their lotMore example sentences
- Her single-minded approach to the tasks which fell to her lot, did not impinge in any way on the warmth of her personality.
- It also fell to my lot to oversee the publication of books as well.
- It fell to my lot in my twenties to teach 'creativity' to a few unfortunate students.
throw in one's lot with
- Decide to ally oneself closely with and share the fate of (a person or group): the bourgeoisie had thrown in its lot with the monarchyMore example sentences
join forces with, join up with, form an alliance with, ally with, align oneself with, link up with, go into league with, combine with, join fortunes with, make common cause with
- The five dairy co-op shareholders decided to throw in their lot with Philip at the end of the day.

Old English hlot (noun), of Germanic origin; related to Dutch lot, German Los. The original meanings were sense 3 of the noun and (by extension) the sense 'a portion assigned to someone'; the latter gave rise to the other noun senses. The pronoun and adverb uses date from the early 19th century.

Anemia is a condition in which the body does not have enough healthy red blood cells. Red blood cells provide oxygen to body tissues. There are many types of anemia.
Iron deficiency anemia occurs when your body does not have enough iron. Iron helps make red blood cells.
Anemia - iron deficiency
Iron deficiency anemia is the most common form of anemia.
Red blood cells bring oxygen to the body's tissues. Healthy red blood cells are made in your bone marrow. Red blood cells circulate through your body for 3 to 4 months. Parts of your body, such as your spleen, remove old blood cells.
Iron is a key part of red blood cells. Without iron, the blood cannot carry oxygen effectively. Your body normally gets iron through your diet. It also reuses iron from old red blood cells.
You get iron deficiency anemia when your body's iron stores run low. This can occur because:
Bleeding can cause iron loss. Common causes of bleeding are:
The body may not absorb enough iron in your diet due to:
You may not get enough iron in your diet if:
You may have no symptoms if the anemia is mild.
Most of the time, symptoms are mild at first and develop slowly. Symptoms may include:
As the anemia gets worse, symptoms may include:
Symptoms of the conditions that cause iron deficiency anemia include:
To diagnose anemia, your doctor may order these blood tests:
Tests to check iron levels in your blood include:
Tests that may be done to look for the cause of iron deficiency:
Treatment may include taking iron supplements and eating iron-rich foods.
Iron supplements (most often ferrous sulfate) are needed to build up the iron stores in your body. Most of the time, your doctor or nurse will measure your iron levels before starting supplements.
If you cannot take iron by mouth, you may need to take it through a vein (intravenous) or by an injection into the muscle.
Pregnant and breastfeeding women will need to take extra iron because they often cannot get enough iron from their normal diets.
Your hematocrit should return to normal after 2 months of iron therapy. You will need to keep taking iron for another 6 to 12 months to replace the body's iron stores in the bone marrow.
Iron-rich foods include:
Other sources include:
With treatment, the outcome is likely to be good. However, it does depend on the cause.
Call your health care provider if:
A balanced diet should include enough iron. Red meat, liver, and egg yolks are high sources of iron. Flour, bread, and some cereals are fortified with iron. If advised by your doctor, take iron supplements if you are not getting enough iron in your diet.

My heart goes out to all the families in Newtown, Conn.
Unfortunately, all the talk has turned to gun control, not the mental illness that plagued the shooter.
The Second Amendment is not about hunting!
It's about killing people, plain and simple.
It's about killing the foreign invader (militia). It's about killing the criminal (self-defense). It's about killing the government (rebellion).
To kill armed people, you need capable firearms.
Armed, you are a citizen. Unarmed, you are a subject.
There, I just explained the Second Amendment!

This story has been corrected
GYPSUM, Colorado - A lot is new at the Eagle County Regional Airport this season, but most passengers will never see the biggest, most complicated part of the summer-long improvement project.
The large, mostly windowless warehouse space to the east of the passenger terminal is now devoted to a state-of-the-art baggage-handling and screening system. The system starts at the curbside, when passengers drop off their bags. Those bags are now swallowed by the building, and all but the biggest are put on a complex conveyor system. That system splits the bags into two lines - one for American Airlines, one for the other airlines that fly into and out of the airport. Those bags are then sent through a scanning system.
In a small room, a pair of Transportation Security Administration officers watches the scanners. If those scanners detect any item that might be prohibited, that bag is pulled off the conveyor line and checked by hand - meaning it's opened and examined by another security officer.
The system is fast - it takes about three and a half minutes for a bag to get from curbside to the baggage trolley that hauls it to an outbound jet. It's also efficient.
Darrell Abbott, who runs the Transportation Security Administration's operations at the airport, said the system requires just eight people to run it. Last year, it took about 16 people to check bags.
"If we were building a brand-new airport today, it would have this system," Transportation Security Administration officials Andrew McBride said.
And, McBride said, the new system is "very gentle," at least as far as baggage-handling systems are concerned.
While the baggage system won't be seen by anyone without a security badge or personal escort, everyone who uses the airport will notice the new passenger-screening system.
That system has been moved - from the middle of the south side of the terminal to the hallway between the south and north, secure, half of the building. A T-shirt shop was sacrificed to make room for the new system. The old system had two lines - three on busy days. The new security station has four lanes.
The new scanners, which look sort of like a "Star Trek"-style teleporter, use "millimeter waves" instead of X-rays. Abbott said people are now exposed to about the same radiation as a cell phone call.
Passengers must completely empty their pockets before going through the scanner. If there's anything - from a pocket comb to a Swiss army knife, the scanner will spot it, and pinpoint the object on a generic outline of a person on the scanner screen.
Carrie Harmon of the Transportation Security Administration's Denver office said "about 99 percent" of all passengers go through scanners. The remainder are subject to a pat-down by an officer.
Both the baggage and screening system upgrades - $6 million for the baggage system alone - were mostly paid through federal and state grants, with the rest being paid for out of airport funds.
Airport manager Greg Phillips said the work done over the summer will be meaningful for years to come.
"This is about our future," Phillips said. "I try to look 20 years down the road for this facility."
Phillips said that long view is important in the airport business, adding serious planning for this year's improvements started in 2007. That long view has to include at least an idea of how many people will use an airport in the future.
Phillips is bullish on this airport's future.
"We're going to have the capacity to handle more traffic as it comes in," he said.

Biopharmaceutical innovators work every day to build a robust pipeline and develop new medicines that help patients cope with some of the most debilitating diseases. This week, we released a new Medicines in Development report on mental health disorders that discussed a number of new approaches being pursued in order to treat these conditions. Currently, an estimated 61.5 million Americans suffer from mental illness, or one in every four U.S.
So often the value of medicines gets lost in media reports when the focus is almost exclusively on cost.
Are we as a society willing to accept the fact that medicines, while not always inexpensive, provide great return on value because a child's life has been saved or a friend was able to beat cancer?
Each year at the National Prescription Drug Abuse Summit, discussions take place regarding the latest resources and tools for states, pharmacists, physicians, and law enforcement to use in combating the misuse and abuse of prescription medicines.
Yesterday's release of the Special 301 report by the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) once again underscores the challenges faced by innovators when confronted with deteriorating protections for intellectual property across the globe.
As we continue to celebrate Parkinson's Awareness Month with our recent Medicines in Development for Parkinson's Disease report and our Conversations forum with leaders from the Parkinson's community, today we also have a guest post from another voice in the community.
Parkinson's is chronic and progressive, meaning that symptoms continue and can increase over time. The progression of Parkinson's disease varies and is different for everyone. No one can predict which symptoms will affect an individual, and the intensity of the symptoms also varies. With April being Parkinson's Awareness Month part of our efforts include reaching out to the community to hear their Parkinson stories.
I was grateful to have an opportunity to explain in a guest blogpost for Global Genes how the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) recent draft guidance on social media could have a direct impact on the ability of me and other patients to get i
Following is a guest blog from Mark Elliot, Executive Director of the Global Intellectual Property Center, where he discusses the importance of intellectual property in global trade agreements and how the U.S. has a full agenda in dealing with IP issues this year.
Tomorrow, April 26th, is the YMCA's Healthy Kids Day, which promotes the important role an active and healthy lifestyle plays in the overall wellbeing of every child. Through various events during the day, the YMCA will emphasize how beneficial it is to stay active throughout the summer.
The questions on cost and value are important, but they miss the opportunity to reach consensus, patient-centered solutions. Read the four places the discussions focused on cost often run amiss:
When #PhRMA14 concluded last week, we walked away from our 56th Annual Meeting with new ideas and perspectives to keep pushing the industry forward. The speakers and attendees discussed a number of important topics, and this week we focused on the value of and access to innovative medicines for patients in need.
The IMS Institute for Healthcare Informatics released a new report titled, "Medicine use and shifting costs of healthcare: A review of the use of medicines in the United States in 2013." The study assessed the utilization of key health care services
For the last 20 years, the federal 340B has helped biopharmaceutical companies and hospitals partner to share treatments and medicines at a discounted price with those who could not otherwise afford them. The program has helped millions of uninsured and vulnerable patients gain access to the treatments necessary to lead fuller — healthier lives. Unfortunately, the 340B program lacks an effective oversight mechanism to ensure the discounted treatments are reaching their intended recipients.
Last Friday marked another successful PhRMA Annual Meeting where the biopharmaceutical and patient community, policy makers, academics, and more, came together to discuss challenges and opportunities facing patients today. The Annual Meeting covered an array of topics all centering on the theme of: How we can convert hopes into cures for our nation's patients.

Love would send Silicon Valley software guru John McAfee back to Belize, the country he fled earlier this month.
While McAfee has refused to return to Belize to answer police questions about the death of his neighbor, he told CNBC's "Squawk Box" Friday that he would return to the country, if necessary, to retrieve his two girlfriends, ages 17 and 20.
"I did used to live with Amy and I currently live with Samantha," McAfee said.
McAfee landed in Miami on Wednesday after he was released from a detention facility in Guatemala, where he says the two women remain in hiding. "But the arm of Belize is long," he said. "They can kidnap a couple of young girls and bring them back. If that happens, I wouldn't have any choice. I would have to go back and turn myself in to prevent them from being tortured and the stuff that people do in Belize. I know it sounds mad. But this happens."
Belizean authorities have scoffed at his allegations.
McAfee, who built a namesake anti-virus software company in Santa Clara, remains a "person of interest" in the death of his neighbor, fellow American expatriate Gregory Viant Faull, 52, whose body was discovered Nov. 11.
McAfee told CNBC that he was on the run with Samantha Vanegas before Faull was discovered with a single gunshot to the back of his head.
They went into hiding after police raided McAfee's Belizean beachfront compound April 30 and "submitted me to a kind of torture where they put my hands behind my back, handcuffed me and kept me there for 14 hours," he said "And the next day they came back and said, 'Now would you donate the $2 million?' "
McAfee said Thursday that he left behind 15 properties and $20 million in assets in Belize. He told CNBC on Friday that he's now worth "less than $5 million, certainly."
Asked whether the money is in property or investments, McAfee responded, "I believe it's in the pockets of the politicians in Belize now."
"Making money is easy, it is," he said later in the interview. "The difficult thing in life is not making it, it's keeping it. Any idiot can make money. Keeping money, very few can do. I'll do something. I'll shine shoes. I'm 67 and I'm still breathing."
McAfee loves hoaxes but told CNBC that his run from police in Belize was no hoax.
"I do love hoaxes," he said, "but not ones that result in my detention in Guatemalan jails."

Kudos to Kate Winslet and Sir Richard Branson for creating the Golden Hat Foundation and especially to Keli and his mother from Iceland who inspired them.
I look forward to seeing the documentary.

Despite mediation, Warm Mineral Springs impasse persists
Published: Tuesday, May 21, 2013 at 9:16 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, May 21, 2013 at 9:16 p.m.
SARASOTA COUNTY - After North Port and Sarasota County leaders reached out to a mediator to help them resolve their dispute over what to do with Warm Mineral Springs, the counseling is not working.
On Tuesday, the Sarasota County Commission also discussed the following matters:
New sheriff's headquarters
The commissioners intend to create "an action plan" for eventually relocating the Sheriff's Office from downtown Sarasota to a site on Cattlemen Road where the county already aims to build a new 911 dispatch and emergency operations center.
Commissioner Nora Patterson emphasized that the county will not break ground anytime soon on a new sheriff's headquarters.
"It'll be a while before we can afford to build it," she said.
Hiring more staff
The commission authorized adding two planners, a building plans examiner, four building inspectors and two customer service representatives for an additional ongoing cost of more than $739,000 — to be paid with fees charged by Planning and Development Services.
County officials say the extra staff is needed because of increases in residential building permits and large projects such as University Town Center.
North Port leaders want a public park, and Sarasota County commissioners see development opportunities in Florida's only warm spring.
Although the city and county co-own the spring, they disagree on whether to partner with a developer to enhance the property.
And without some resolution, Warm Mineral Springs could close June 30, when the contract with the concessionaire now managing the springs and spa expires.
Previously, the city and county agreed to negotiate a short-term lease with a vendor to keep the springs open as of July 1. On Tuesday, the County Commission unanimously approved a proposed agreement with North Port spelling out what it wants in such a lease.
Yet the move was mainly symbolic, as the night before, the North Port City Commission was unable to get a majority vote to approve the same agreement or to send it back to the county with revisions.
County Commissioner Christine Robinson said the county should approve the agreement anyway.
"I do not want to be the one not to follow through on our word," Robinson said. ". . .We're operating in good faith."
If the dispute results in litigation, Robinson said, the county should show that it tried to resolve the matter outside of court.
The county has initiated a mediation process required by state law in an attempt to avoid a lawsuit.
A month ago, mediator Steven Seibert assisted city and county commissioners in agreeing on terms for a 10-month lease effective July 1. The lease would keep the springs open while the two governments resolved their disagreements about whether and how the springs should be developed.
Since that mediation session, city and county administrators and attorneys have worked on an agreement outlining what would be expected from the current vendor, Cypress Lending, or any other vendor interested in operating the springs while the two commissions decide the property's long-term fate.
They based that document on what they thought city and county commissioners agreed upon.
Monday night, North Port commissioners Jim Blucher and Tom Jones wanted to approve the agreement so potential concessionaires could start making offers. Mayor Linda Yates and city commissioners Rhonda DiFranco and Cheryl Cook refused.
Yates said the agreement implied that the city's "conflict" with the county has been resolved. "The conflict is not resolved."
Yates cited what she regarded as several "inaccuracies" in the agreement that she believed misstated the city's position.
"There is not enough time to do a competitive process for a short-term lease," said Yates, who called for the city and county to take over operations of the springs as of July 1. "That's what needs to be done."
Cook quoted a provision calling for the county to be in charge of the solicitation of an interim operator. She interpreted that as "the city abdicating rights and control of this property to the county," which she compared with a "deannexation."
"The city has superior rights to the springs," Cook insisted.
Eventually, the City Commission voted unanimously to tell the County Commission it wants another joint meeting with the mediator.
County commissioners decided another session to settle the same issues will serve no purpose.
"As far as meeting with them, it's been futile," Robinson said.
"They're hell-bent on not having an agreement," Commissioner Joe Barbetta said. ". . . I'm not going to get in a room and try to discuss it. It's a waste of time."
In December 2010, the county and the city bought the 81-acre property from Cypress Lending for $5.5 million with the intention of preserving the environmentally sensitive archaeological site while retaining public access and making it a greater magnet for economic development.
They contracted with Cypress Lending to stay on as management for 2.5 years while they worked on plans for the property.
After last fall's election, Yates and newly elected commissioners Cook and Rhonda DiFranco rejected an "invitation to negotiate" that the county wanted to offer developers who may want to create a resort on the property.
They expressed concerns about partnerships that enable private businesses to profit from public assets and whether the ITN could lead to inappropriate commercial development on a site that some North Port residents prefer be preserved as a park.
They later voted to sell the city's half-interest in the springs.
The county offered to buy out the city for $2 million but the city rejected it.
The agreement pertaining to the terms of the short-term lease will now go back to the North Port commission.
If the city rejects it again, the next step may be formal mediation — in which a representative of the city and a representative of the county will meet privately with a facilitator.
If those talks yield no results, the dispute is likely to go to court.

VAIL, Colorado - The sound of helicopter propellers echoed through Vail on Thursday as crews installed the towers for Vail's newest lift, Gondola 1.
Vail Mountain plans to announce the name of the gondola before its grand opening Nov. 16, which is also the opening day of Vail Mountain's 50th anniversary ski season. For now, the lift is being called Gondola 1, which commemorates the original gondola built in the same location in the 1960s.
As the helicopter hauled in each tower piece by piece, Vail Mountain Chief Operating Officer Chris Jarnot watched from the base area beaming with pride. He said he's been excited about the new gondola all along, especially as he watched construction progress throughout the summer. The resort began tearing down the old chairlift, the Vista Bahn, on closing day last season and the work hasn't skipped a beat since.
"It's exciting to see all this pop up in one day, but it's been exciting every day, all summer long, as we've made progress," Jarnot said. "It's going to be an amazing lift. I think people are going to be really excited when they see how well it works and how nice it is."
Nice is an understatement when you're talking gondola standards. This one will feature heated leather seats, free wi-fi access and it will hold 10 passengers per cabin. It's also fast, with a speed of 1,200 feet per minute, making it the fastest gondola of its type in the world, according to Vail Resorts. More than 70 percent of the gondola was manufactured in Grand Junction by Leitner-Poma of America, while the cabins and some other portions were manufactured in Europe.
The speed and occupancy per cabin equals a 40 percent increase in uphill capacity, whisking skiers and snowboarders to Mid-Vail in 7 1/2 minutes - a minute and a half faster than the Vista Bahn.
Vail Mountain spokeswoman Liz Biebl calls it a "tremendous improvement for the guest experience."
Skiers and snowboarders were already expressing gratitude for the addition Thursday on social media, with a few naysayers complaining that the larger uphill capacity will create larger lines at Chairs 3 and 4. Vail Resorts states on its website that Vail "will likely replace the Mountaintop Express Lift (Chair 4), adding uphill capacity in the not-too-distant future."
"Nice work guys," commented Aaron Burrows on Vail Mountain's Facebook page. "When that lift brings us all up to great skiing and conditions over the next 30 years, I'll try to remember those guys who hung 60 feet in the air installing it for me. Thanks!"
Two crews of seven waited at each tower location Thursday for the helicopter - a Siller Helicopters Sikorsky Sky-Crane - with four guys climbing the tower to catch the cables flying around in the wind to secure each piece of the base to the bottom base section. Some towers were assembled in two or three pieces, but others took more, depending on the terrain.
The gondola's haul rope or cable is expected to be installed later this month, which will allow all 111 gondola cabin cars to move through each of the 23 towers.
As Jarnot watched the tower construction, the sight of Vail's newest improvement also made him think of the other improvements that came with it. The slope between the top of the gondola - the same top station area where the Vista Bahn traveled to - and the base of Chairs 3 and 4 was flattened out and graded, which Jarnot said will become a much better experience for everyone heading that way.
And the ski rack area as you come into Mid-Vail from the Chair 3 and 4 side used to be a mess, Jarnot said, but the resort built a platform to clean that up and make the area more user friendly.
And while Jarnot can't predict what opening day snow is going to look like, he said the gondola's grand opening will take place on opening day.
He added that the goal, of course, is to have enough snow to open everything - including Vail's Back Bowls - on opening day.
"That's always the goal," Jarnot said.

ANAHEIM -- Now that the A's have locked up the American League West title and a spot in the playoffs, it's time for them to coast a bit, take it easy for the next week, then gear up for the postseason, right?
Not so much. If there's one thing Monday's 10-5 win over the Angels displayed in graphic color, it was that the A's aren't going to half-step to the finish line.
By winning and the Detroit Tigers losing Monday, the A's magic number for clinching home-field advantage for the American League Division Series shrunk to two, meaning any combination of A's wins and Tigers' losses totaling two sews up home-field advantage for Oakland for the first round of the playoffs.
More than that, the A's (94-63) crept to within one game of the Red Sox (95-62) for the best record in the American League. Catching Boston would mean the A's would have the home-field advantage throughout.
"Nobody in this clubhouse is having strategy sessions about it," the A's Jed Lowrie said.
Lowrie's three-run homer in the third helped break the game open, the A's lead going from 2-1 to 5-1. "We'll go out and do what we do, and wherever that puts us, that's where we should be."
Manager Bob Melvin could have rested most of his regulars after Sunday's clinching celebration and subsequent flight to Southern California. But only Yoenis Cespedes got the day off, and that was only after a long throwing session to test his hobbled shoulder. The appendage apparently held up, so he will be back in the lineup Tuesday as the D.H. and could play three games in left field in Seattle this weekend.
Melvin also gave his starting pitchers a rest by having Tommy Milone make the start two days after pitching in relief.
Milone, pitching for a spot on the postseason roster, is 2-0 in two September starts and has a 2.70 ERA for the month.
In addition to earning home-field advantage, if the A's catch the Red Sox, they would play the wild-card entry, which at this point looks like Cleveland or Tampa Bay, rather than Detroit, the team that knocked Oakland out of the playoffs in the first round last year.
None of which seems to matter to Melvin.
"It's important, but it's not foremost in our minds," the manager said. "Our concern is to win as many as we can."
Along the way, the A's have questions to answer.
Norris worked out there Monday but hasn't played the position this season.
Melvin isn't talking, but it seems likely that Jarrod Parker, Bartolo Colon and A.J. Griffin will all start, but it's less clear if the club will go with a fourth starter. And if they do, will they take the kid with all the electricity in his right arm, Sonny Gray (4-3, 2.90), or Dan Straily who is only 4-0 with a 2.15 ERA in his past five starts?
With homers by Lowrie and Brandon Moss on Monday, the A's have hit at least two homers in six consecutive games, matching the Oakland club record.
He's been on base with a hit or a walk in 28 consecutive games, the best mark for an A's hitter in the past five years. During that time he's hitting .379 with 20 RBIs and six homers.

The new school scores from the State Department of Education show Lauderdale County Schools are continuing to improve. Last year, some were under-performing, but this year Superintendent Randy Hodges says that they saw improvements in just about every category.
"When you have 2 Star Schools, 6 High Performing, and 4 Successful, so they're all successful and above, and that's something for Lauderdale County to be proud of."
The school system saw improvements across the board, but one of the biggest gains they saw was here at Clarkdale Middle School, where they went from being on Academic Watch to being rated as a high performing school.
"And that really came back to hard work among present staff and among students and among parents, which is something you can't buy. It's something people have to decide in their heart that they're going to do, and our group did decide that in their heart, and they did a good job with it."
Over the past 4 years, Lauderdale County Schools have seen their budget slashed by $4 Million, and Superintendent Hodges is glad they've been able to do more with less, and says it makes the improvement that much sweeter.
"Limited resources and continue to be able to move forward, that speaks well for everyone, and all of our stakeholders."
Now the task is to continue upon the improvement until every school is performing as well as it can.
"We'll spend the rest of this school year with our teachers, with our administrators, taking a look at where we might could do better."
"Obviously we want to make it to the STAR School department as my colleague across the hall at Clarkdale Elementary has done."
No Lauderdale County School saw a drop in ratings.

Low Inflation Highlights Fed Dilemma
The Federal Reserve is facing an inflation dilemma.
Inflation is running well below the Fed's 2% target. Thursday's reading on the Fed's favorite inflation gauge showed prices up just 1.1% in May from a year earlier, matching the lowest pace on record.
Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke and other central bank officials maintain it'll pick up. But a substantial band of economists outside the Fed is starting to challenge Mr. Bernanke's diagnosis.
The Fed chief, in his press conference last week, said the downshift in inflation may reflect "transitory factors" that will dissipate. Those include a dip in medical payments and the cost of some services that don't have traditional market prices, such as free checking accounts.
"These are some things that we expect to reverse and we expect to see inflation come up a bit," he said. "That being said … we don't take anything for granted."
Fed governor Jerome Powell underscored the message in a speech Thursday, saying most Fed officials are looking through the temporary movements and expect inflation to return to 2% over the coming years. But he added, "Continued low or falling inflation could, however, raise real concerns. Inflation can be too low as well as too high."
How inflation moves in the coming months will shape the central bank's next steps. If inflation doesn't rise close to the Fed's target, Mr. Bernanke said the Fed might rethink its plan to begin scaling back the size of its bond-buying program later this year.
Overall inflation was 1% in May from a year earlier, the Commerce Department said Thursday. Core inflation, the Fed's preferred measure that strips out volatile energy and food costs, rose 1.1% from a year earlier. That matched the previous month's reading and equaled the smallest rise in underlying prices on record.
Some economists think more than temporary factors are behind the low inflation readings.
Goldman Sachs economist David Mericle said other components of underlying inflation also are close to historic lows. "This again suggests that low inflation is not confined to the components highlighted in the chairman's press conference," Mr. Mericle said in a note to clients this week. The firm's economists are forecasting a modest recovery in inflation during the rest of 2013.
Medical payments are a key wild card. Automatic federal spending cuts, known as the sequester, imposed a 2% reduction on Medicare payments starting in April, easing price pressures. But other factors could have a longer-term impact, such as cheaper generic drugs coming to market and replacing more expensive name brand products, as well as the potential effects of the Affordable Care Act.
Declining government payrolls and tightening federal spending also could play a role in pushing inflation down.
"Government is shrinking and prices are responding," said Laura Rosner, an economist at BNP Paribas. "I don't see it as something to not be concerned about. Disinflation is disinflation."
The latest set of government spending cuts "is the start of further, more structural changes that could influence stickier prices such as medical care," she said.
Low inflation can help American households that have seen only tiny wage gains. But price increases that are too slow also carry risks, which Fed officials say they're taking seriously.
"Inflation that's too low is a problem," Mr. Bernanke said. "It increases the risk of deflation. It raises real interest rates. It means that debt deleveraging takes place more slowly."
The Fed chairman said the central bank could start to dial down its $85 billion-a-month bond purchase program later this year if the economy expands and inflation gradually rises as it expects.
That has already led to one dissent inside the central bank's policy committee. St. Louis Fed President James Bullard said talk of winding down the bond buying is premature given low inflation.
Mr. Bullard in a statement said that "a more prudent approach would be to wait for more tangible signs that the economy was strengthening and inflation was on a path to return toward target" before announcing such a plan.
UPDATE: An earlier version of this post incorrectly identified BNP Paribas economist Laura Rosner.

The segue from Fee to Maze is a thing to behold, though. And Maze is pretty much psychotic. Fishman sounds like he's trying to smash his cymbals to smithereens. There's also a point in Antelope where I'm pretty sure he's trying to murder his drum kit.
Like pretty much any show from this era, worth a listen. The worst thing you'll hear is precision and exuberance that sounds slightly perfunctory. Which is amazing when you think about it.

State Plan
Summary of FY 2016 DVR State Plan
(Effective October 1, 2014)
In partnership with the Wisconsin Rehabilitation Council (WRC), the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation (DVR) annually updates its State Plan for vocational rehabilitation (VR) and supported employment services. Updates are effective on 10/1/2014.
The Vocational Rehabilitation Services State Plan provides a blueprint for how the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development (DWD) and the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation will achieve service goals and commitments.
With a $70 million annual investment in people with disabilities, their training and placement in good paying jobs, VR services have a positive impact on Wisconsin's families and economy. Wisconsin's Vocational Rehabilitation Services continue to be an important part of Wisconsin's future economic success.
State Plans must be submitted to the Rehabilitation Service Administration no later than July 1, 2014. State agencies must make assurances that VR and Supported Employment (SE) plans are in conformance with federal guidelines. Additionally, states are asked to attach 6 sections reflecting input from the Rehabilitation Council, staff resources, population estimates, order of selection and how consumers will be waitlisted if resources do not adequately cover all those requesting services, the goals and plans for distribution of funds and a report on the state's progress. Links are provided for each of these draft attachments and can be found in sections (I-VI).
RSA Required Updates of the DVR State Plan Include:
I. Recommendations from the Wisconsin Rehabilitation Council (WRC)
The WRC is the advisory and oversight body for the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation. The WRC makes recommendations for establishing priorities and for sharing key information with the advisory members. The council members have requested regular updates on:
- DVR funding levels and DVR's ability to meet its budget commitments;
- The number of applicants on DVR's wait list and the number of DVR staff vacancies and any impact on services;
- Employment Specialist activities and observations on job readiness;
- Training of staff on how to use supported employment and customized employment options when long term employment supports are not available;
- Tools and strategies for improving communication, collaboration and outcomes;
- Options to secure confidential space for all counselor interactions with consumers, ergonomic upgrades, and other facility upgrades as needed;
- Strategies to improve the minority service rate; and
- Pilots and projects related to connecting students with disabilities to employment.

III. Annual Estimates of Individuals to be Served and Costs of Services
The demand for vocational rehabilitation services among jobseekers with disabilities in Wisconsin exceeds the Division's human and fiscal resources. DVR annually estimates current job seekers who will continue working with DVR in the next year, the number of new applicants, and the capacity to provide VR services. Fiscal and human resources are assessed against the need and the DVR forecasts whether some applicants will be waitlisted for services.
Learn more about the DVR annual estimate of individuals to be served and costs of services at:
IV. Report of Progress in Achieving Identified Goals and Priorities and the Use of VR Funds for Service Innovations and Service Expansion
DVR reports on performance progress for prior year state plan goals and priorities and indicates where performance improvement is still needed. DVR also reviews the purpose of funds invested in vocational rehabilitation service innovation and service expansion projects.
Learn more about the DVR progress on prior year goals and priorities and the use of VR funds for service innovations and expansions at:
V. Quality, Scope and Extent of Supported Employment Services
The DVR describes its collaborative efforts aimed at expanding integrated, competitive community employment opportunities for those in need of supported employment services.

- http://dwd.wisconsin.gov/dvr/state_plans/fy15/4_11_c_4.pdf
VI. Order of Selection
Because the DVR has not had sufficient fiscal resources to serve every eligible applicant, DVR implemented an Order of Selection (OOS) effective 12/5/1994. This section of the plan describes the OOS categories and the Division's process for making an OOS category assignment. An explanation of how the OOS wait list is managed and suggestions for changing the OOS wait list category assignment process are also included.

DVR uses a statewide service rate and fee payment structure and standardized specifications for the most commonly purchased services and products.

The DVR and WRC prioritize the rehabilitation needs and develop DVR systemic and service delivery goals to address the needs.

FDA'S INTEREST FDA's 2002 initiative, "GMPs in the 21st Century"2 has raised visibility and interest in RARM. The initiative, of which RARM is a key element, emphasizes new control technologies and modern quality management systems.
RARM is used in other FDA-regulated industries. For example, medical devices regulated by the Center for Devices and Radiation Health and created according to FDA's Quality System Regulation (formerly called "GMPs for Medical Devices"), must meet the requirement that "Design validation shall include software validation and risk analysis, where appropriate."3 In sectors of the food industry, notably the seafood and juice segments, FDA even requires the use of a specific RARM program.4,5 FDA's regulations for low-acid canned foods also incorporate specific RARM principles.6
Recent FDA guidance documents such as Q7A, the GMP requirements for making active pharmaceutical ingredients,7 frequently use terms such as "critical" and "where appropriate." This indicates that a rational judgment, based on potential risks and the best ways to control them, is important in deciding what to do.

SAN FRANCISCO — San Jose State opens training camp Thursday, and Cal starts early next week. But Stanford must wait until Aug. 11 before taking the field.
The Cardinal is one of the last teams in the nation to start camp because it's one of the last to start the regular season.
It opens against San Jose State on Sept. 7, one week later than most teams.
The Week 1 bye is the result of a confluence of factors, including the lack of scheduling flexibility created by the end-of-season matchup with Notre Dame.
Being one of the last teams to open the regular season doesn't bother coach David Shaw.
"There are pluses and minuses,'' Shaw said Monday at Bay Area football media day. "You'd love to work a bye into the schedule (during the season). But we can see San Jose State play; we can see other teams play.
"It's good to watch and see good teams struggle. They make early-season mistakes, and then you can learn from those mistakes.''
The event was sponsored by the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl, which will match a Pac-12 team against BYU on Dec. 27 at AT&T Park.

Hey, so I've been fighting with getting PS3 Media Server to stream properly to my XBox 360 for a while. Thanks to the thread at viewtopic.php?f=6&t=17109 I seem to have successfully resolved a lot of my issues with MKV files; thanks, resque1980! That said, I'm still having similar problems with several AVI files. Checking the file's codec data in VLC reports that the video is "MS MPEG-4 Video v3 (DIV3)" while the audio is "MPEG Audio layer 1/2/3 (mpga)."
Here's a debug.log output:
The error the 360 is reporting is the standard "Unplayable Content" error with code 69-C00D3E98. It appears to try to transcode (shows "Opening" at the top of the screen as per usual) but throws up the error as soon as the video would usually start playing.
Any help would be appreciated!

STOCKTON - Three people were shot, none fatally, after midnight Saturday in the Weston Ranch neighborhood, Stockton police reported. There have been no arrests, but police believe five suspects were involved in the shooting.
Officers were dispatched to the 3400 block of Manthey Road near Carolyn Weston Boulevard at 12:32 a.m. Saturday to investigate a report of shots fired. When they arrived, they found one victim suffering from a nonlife-threatening gunshot wound, police reported.
Officials subsequently learned that two other gunshot victims had been taken by private cars to an area medical facility for treatment. Officers investigating the scene of the shooting found two handguns.
Police are looking for a 1980s "boxy" two-door Chevrolet with either primer or light gray paint.
They have very little to go on regarding the shooting suspects, only that the driver was heavyset wearing black clothing and one of the rear passengers was 5 feet 6 inches and thin.
