Many of us are lucky enough to be able to live off this game (e.g. skill-capped, glad/rank1 boosts, streaming, youtube etc) but it has caused the trend of having to be neutral when streaming or making videos. For example say person A asks you a question about toweliee. You say something bad like toweliee is fat for example (he wouldn't care, he's a grown man) in response; you will most likely be DDOSed within minutes. It happened to a friend when he said something bad about a certain top streamer (i won't mention his name) and he was DDOSed within 10 minutes of said action. Many people don't get that it's normally just banter, because they are probably very young - kids have a harder time being rational or understanding varied opinions about their beloved streamers.
Therefore that is why arena egos aren't as common now. The whole reason a lot of people still play is due to a mixture of being able to live off the game and, I assume, the social fun aspect that arena brings which I think is still good. You can't have an opinion about popular people or be "real" as some people like to put it anymore as it will hurt your image which could drastically damage your career in streaming or any other outlet you pursue related to WoW. You can't have an opinion when streaming, you have to be neutral or you'll be gunned down by an angry mob of fan boys.
Wizik needs to come back to restore the balance.

So last night I had 5 minutes left to watch of a movie and accidentally hit the stop button. I couldn't find a way to pick up where I left off. I realize its transcoding on the fly but I thought maybe it was caching the entire file to tmp? So I could only fast forward at 1.5x and the scene selection viewer puked and booted me out of the movie.
Is there a way to make these things work? Perhaps if I had a faster processor (running dual 1.2 tualatins)?
Either that or can I get the settings for mencoder to transcode all of my movies before watching them? Would this let me seek through the file/scene selection?
Anyone else found a way around this?

Caramel-Peanut Butter Apple Dip
Why then am I displaying sliced Granny Smiths on parade? Well, I should think it would be obvious. They're about to be dipped into a caramel sauce and as far as I'm concerned, you could probably dip my hubby's sweaty gym shorts in caramel and I'd be all over that. Too much info? Let's move on.
This caramel, peanut butter apple dip is as easy as they come. Three ingredients and about thirty seconds and you're done. Except for the apple slicing, of course.
Caramel Peanut Butter Apple Dip
3/4 cup caramel sauce (the kind you buy to top ice cream)
1/4 cup smooth peanut butter
1/2 cup marshmallow Fluf
1 TBSP chopped peanuts as garnish (optional, but you'll gain sensitivity points for notifying the peanut allergy people that there is peanut butter in this dip)
Combine the caramel sauce and peanut butter until smooth. Fold in the marshmallow Fluf. Spoon dip into serving bowl and top with optional chopped peanuts.
Serve with sliced apples....Granny Smith's preferably.

FoodFacts.com has always included information in our blog posts about the benefits of the antioxidants found in natural, fresh fruits and vegetables. There have been so many good things to tell our community about the benefits of these compounds. The antioxidant resveratrol has made news in the last year for the possibility of its anti-aging properties. It's found in red wine, red grapes, as well as peanuts, blueberries, cranberries, dark chocolate and cocoa powder. Resveratrol has been associated with the protection of the heart and circulatory system, lowering cholesterol and blood sugar levels as well as reducing the risk of certain cancers. All great news!
But now, new research at The University of Copenhagen surprisingly suggests that eating a diet rich in antioxidants may actually counteract many of the health benefits of exercise, including reduced blood pressure and cholesterol.
In contrast to earlier studies in animals in which resveratrol improved the cardiovascular benefits of exercise, this study in humans has provided surprising and strong evidence that in older men, resveratrol has the opposite effect.
While antioxidants like resveratrol have plenty of positive effects on our health, this information seems to point to the idea that some degree of oxidant stress might be necessary for the body to work correctly. So too much of this good thing might actually be detrimental to our health.
The study comes out of the University of Copenhagen. Researchers studied 27 healthy, physically inactive men who were about 65 years of age for 8 weeks. During the study period, all of the men performed high-intensity exercise training. Half of the group received 250 mg of resveratrol daily, while the other half received a placebo. The study was double-blinded so that neither the subjects nor the scientists knew which participant received the antioxidant or the placebo.
Researchers found that the exercise training undertaken by all the participants was very effective at improving their cardiovascular health. They did discover, however that resveratrol detracted from the positive effects of the training in areas including blood pressure and oxygen uptake, among others. Scientists were surprised to find that resveratrol in older men appeared to lessen the benefits of exercise on heart health. The results contract the findings from previous animal studies. The need for larger, more extensive studies on varied age groups was noted in order to confirm the results obtained. In addition, it was noted that the resveratrol supplementation provided in this study was greater than the amounts obtained through natural food sources.
FoodFacts.com looks forward to further research regarding the effects of antioxidants on our health. This is important information regarding how these compounds work in our bodies to promote our well-being. Perhaps the "too much of a good thing" concept for resveratrol and other antioxidant compounds is related to supplementation, as opposed to obtaining these compounds through natural food sources. A balanced diet, rich in a variety of fruits and vegetables can provide us with the nutrition our bodies need to remain healthy and strong throughout our lifetimes.

Huskies in good shape for NCAA tournament
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Next. That's about the only thing UConn is going to concern itself with after Louisville took the American Athletic Conference tournament championship, 71-61, on Saturday night at FedEx Forum. The Huskies aren't going to focus on being dominated by the Cardinals for a second time in a week, mostly because everybody has been dominated by Louisville lately.

"I don't want you to be distracted by the political lynching that you read today and continue to read about in the print media," said Santa Clara County Board President George Shirakawa Jr.
Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain. Let him live in peace with his taxpayer-funded 19-inch LCD HDTV. He is a victim -- of a media witch hunt, of silly county rules, of hypocritical critics.
In defending himself against past criticism, Shirakawa and his associates used to play the race card, suggesting things were different for people of color.
Now they deploy the more subtle economic oppression card, the theory that criticism of Shirakawa equates to an attack on the economically disadvantaged folks he represents.
And of course, two favorite targets are the Mercury News and the weekly Metro, which first broke the story of his questionable spending.
"The Mercury News is tarnishing the reputation of those people and institutions that give voice to the voiceless," wrote San Jose resident Ernest A. Bejerano.
Really? When Shirakawa tees off for a $583 round of golf near Las Vegas and bills it to the county, he makes that much less available for home visits for the elderly and infirm.
When he upgrades to first-class airfare and quadruples the county's bill to $2,605, he cheats the poorest folks who depend on Valley Medical Center for health care.
When he accepts a correctional officer as his personal $90,000 bodyguard, the jails must backfill the position, making fewer dollars available for protecting tough streets.
Serving himself
Sorry: This is not a man who is serving his constituents. By using taxpayer money as his personal line of credit, Shirakawa is serving himself.
When he ignores the rules, the board president is mocking hardworking folks in his district who pay their taxes and live by the law. For Shirakawa, the county P-card means pork: He even used it to make charitable contributions to the Democratic Party.
Given who George Shirakawa is -- an affable ex-lobbyist who has exhausted his father's good name -- we shouldn't be surprised.
For years, county government has gotten less scrutiny from the media than the city of San Jose. It deals with difficult and hard-to-explain issues. And so sloppiness has festered.
Easy approval
One of the astonishing things in the Shirakawa saga is that county auditors blessed his errant spending, calling his expense records "well-organized and maintained."
If the county were a high school, even failing students would get A's and recommendations to Ivy League colleges.
Shirakawa has repaid some $5,200 of the money, and he says we'll know more. But I think we know enough.
Supervisor Dave Cortese, a onetime Shirakawa ally, said it best Tuesday when he characterized the controversy over Shirakawa's expenses as a blaring siren -- one the board president had not yet answered. For once, even Shirakawa looked worried.
Do not be distracted by that public lynching. It's not really a lynching at all. It's a guy putting a noose around his own neck and trying to tug.

SAN JOSE - As expected, Sharks coach Todd McLellan didn't disclose who his starting goalie will be for Game 7 of his team's Western Conference quarterfinal series against the Los Angeles Kings. But his message to both Alex Stalock and Antti Niemi on Tuesday was the same - be ready. Niemi started the first five games of the series, winning the first three as he allowed eight goals. But he was pulled after uneven performances in Games 4 and 5 in favor of Stalock, who made the start for Game 6 and stopped 26 of 30 shots in a 4-1 loss that evened the series at three games each.
"I've never played in a Game 7, and obviously we'll find out later what's going on," Stalock said. "It'd be a lot of fun."
The Kings scored three times in the third period on Monday, including a disputed goal by Justin Williams at 11:56 of a 1-1 game that started San Jose's downward slide. The Sharks thought the play should have been blown dead because Stalock had covered the puck. It was reviewed but the call stood. Williams' goal was the first of three during a span of 2:46 that decided the outcome.
"The puck had to get moved into the net somehow, and it was I guess by force from the players' stick," Stalock said Tuesday of the Kings' second goal in Game 6. "Unless he can see through me, he must have known where the puck was. Now, knowing the rule, the call's over. You can't do anything about it.
McLellan wasn't interested in rehashing the incident Tuesday, saying only, "We're getting ready now to play Game 7. That's in the past, and we'll leave it there."
Niemi had an .882 save percentage and a 3.90 goals against average in the first five games. Stalock has stopped 52 of 56 shots in three games for a .929 save percentage.
"Even if you don't get the start, I think you have to be ready," Stalock said. "Anything can happen, whether it's sickness or injury. Every game, you have to be ready."
n McLellan liked the way Matt Irwin played in Game 6, as the 26-year-old defenseman - making his first playoff start in place of the injured Marc-Edouard Vlasic - was paired with Dan Boyle and had 18:43 of ice time.
"He's been sitting on the sidelines, champing at the bit to get in, and it's not an easy game to come in to," McLellan said of Irwin. "Being on the road in that environment, and the intensity and pace of the game, it's a little different than games 78 through 82 when things are basically locked down. But he did a very good job, and I thought our D handled itself well for a lot of the game."
Irwin had 19 points in 62 regular-season games this season and played in all 11 playoff games for the Sharks last year.
"I felt pretty comfortable," Irwin said of Game 6. "First shift, you try and make it quick, get your legs under you, make a play, take a bump, make a hit, those kind of things. Other than that, I felt fresh, felt good. Just try to build off it."
There wasn't much news on Vlasic, who did not skate again Tuesday. McLellan said Vlasic is getting treatments, "and when he's better, he'll play." n The lack of power play goals is hardly the biggest of the Sharks' problems going into Game 7. But any contributions San Jose can get from the now-beleaguered unit could go a long way in turning the deciding game in its favor.
Despite a number of golden opportunities, the Sharks are 0 for 9 with the man advantage over the past two games. In that same span, the Kings have converted 2 of 8 power play chances.
The Sharks were 0 for 4 on the power play in Game 6, which included a 1:37 two-man advantage early in the second period when San Jose was down 1-0. The Sharks came up empty in that situation and on another two-minute power play shortly after.
"It's going to be there," Sharks captain Joe Thornton said. "We have a confident group, and we're confident with the five guys that we put out there, we change the game and score some goals."
Besides Vlasic, Raffi Torres and Patrick Marleau did not skate Tuesday.

Top 5 Favorites: Walking Workouts
I love walking — outside, on a treadmill, whatever — but I have a little problem commonly known as lack of motivation. On days when it's cold outside, or drizzly, or appears to be either of the above, I am easily dissuaded from working out … and easily persuaded to sleep the extra half hour instead. But I hate the "no cookie for you today" feeling of regret that not working out brings.
Lucky for me (and you!), GaiamTV.com has a ton of great walking workout videos. They're perfect for working out at home — no weather restrictions, no too-loud-for-the-downstairs-neighbors cardio; just fun routines for burning calories.
My favorites combine upper-body strengthening with the lower-body workout. If they have gorgeous scenery, so much the better! These videos eliminate my excuses and, in time, my jeans size. Here are my top five favorites from Gaiam TV. I'm confident you'll find at least one in here that will tempt you to pick up the pace.

Avoid holiday scams, officials warn
Published: Monday, December 10, 2012 at 9:59 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, December 10, 2012 at 9:59 a.m.
The Christmas season may be the worst time to fall prey to a shopping scam, but officials say it's the most likely time it will happen.
Internet offers for free high-priced gift cards, in exchange for credit-card information, or free popular gadgets, such as iPods or iPads, should be regarded with suspicion, the state Attorney General's Office says. Do not enter your credit-card or bank-account information for these deals.
One way to check a website's security is to look for an https:// at the beginning of a web address, which typically means it's safe, rather than the regular http://.
Other common schemes include phone calls and emails asking consumers to donate to charities. Any legitimate company offering you a prize will allow you to hang up and call back after you verify its number and information.
If you believe ytou have encountered a scam, call the Attorney General's Consumer Protection Hotline at 1-800-351-4889.

SANTA CLARA -- Coach Jim Harbaugh said it was a "great life-changing moment" for quarterback Colin Kaepernick and the 49ers when he signed a six-year extension through 2020 on Wednesday.
"I'm equally as excited about it," Harbaugh said Friday. "Colin is a great football player and a great teammate."
The deal is worth a guaranteed $61 million with a potential value of $126 million. But, as reported by ProFootballTalk.com, the deal provides limited risk to the 49ers with only roughly $13 million guaranteed at signing. Kaepernick's annual base salary doesn't become guaranteed until April 1 of each year, according to the report.
That team-friendly deal, which Kaepernick hinted about when he spoke after signing the contract, should allow the 49ers to keep talented players around him.
Harbaugh said he's just happy that his franchise quarterback won't have to deal with a swirl of contract-related questions throughout the season.
"Going through a season not having to think about contracts or questions about longevity or maybe pressure on him to put up certain statistics or numbers, now he's in a position where he knows and our teams knows and Colin can grow as a player," Harbaugh said. "I'm most excited about that."

Their leaves may look a little brown and crunchy, but the many roses at the San Jose Heritage Rose Garden will be able to weather the water shortage without many problems, volunteers say.
"What drought?" is the attitude of supervising volunteer David Giroux.
According to Giroux, the rosebushes will still receive every drop of water from irrigation that they would have if San Jose had received average rainfall this winter and spring. That's because the Heritage Garden, at Spring and Taylor streets, uses only recycled water.
"It's nearly limitless," he said.
District 3 spokesman Paul Pereria confirmed that not only is the Heritage Rose Garden using recycled water, but so does most of nearby Guadalupe River Park and Gardens.
"It helps make the gardens and park drought-proof," he said via email.
The city is required to use a certain amount of recycled water to avoid an overflow of fresh water into the San Francisco Bay, Pereria said. There are 100 miles of pipeline in the area dedicated to nonpotable water.
"It makes environmental sense to make good use of our recycled water for the purposes of irrigating our parks, turf areas and school play fields," he wrote.
Caring for the nearly 4,000 plants of more than 3,000 varieties of heritage, modern and miniature roses at the garden is done mostly by volunteers. They meet Wednesdays and Saturdays from 8:30 a.m. to 11:30.
"Deadheading"--removing dead flowers--takes places in the summer on the second Tuesday of each month.
Giroux said visitors shouldn't be fooled by the dry appearance of the roses during the warmer months.
"If you were to dig in the ground, you'd find [the plants] are probably wetter than they should be," he said.
As for drought maintenance for the 5.5 acre Municipal Rose Garden on Naglee Avenue, calls to city officials were not returned.
Pereria said the city has "an ambitious goal" of using 100 percent recycled water for irrigation and office buildings--such as for toilets--within the next two decades. That would constitute around 100 million gallons per day.
"We're happy to say that we're on our way there," he said.

Admit error in spending
January 29, 2013
No doubt billions of dollars lavished on local and state governments through the federal "stimulus" program were wasted....
"Republicans are good at building multi-million dollar bridges to no where too!"
While I agree that Republicans waste as much money as Democrats, at least a bridge to nowhere provides jobs for citizens whereas the routers provided none. Unless you count the person that has to dust the routers.
"What do you expect from a state that 72,544 of it people..."
Um denver, that was in a primary election so you should have said 72,544 Democrats.
Given the above, perhaps we should consider renaming them Dumocrats.

In August 2011, federal agencies signed the "Memorandum of Understanding on Environmental Justice and Executive Order 12898" (EJ MOU), which committed each agency to, among other things, finalizing an EJ strategy and releasing annual implementation reports. Links to the other federal EJ Strategies can be found on the Environmental Justice Interagency Workgroup webpage.
The DHS draft strategy was open for public comment for 30 days from November 18, 2011 to January 13, 2012. DHS and its federal partners will continue to engage stakeholders through outreach, education and stakeholder events and respond to public comments through annual implementation reports.

Janet Woodcock, director of the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER), consequently is taking a fresh look at FDA programs designed to ensure that manufacturing quality requirements promote biomedical innovation that leads to safe and effective products. The CDER "Pharmaceutical Quality for the 21st Century" initiative was launched in 2002 to encourage manufacturer adoption of modern quality management systems, process analytical technology, and automated production methods. This program has yielded many accomplishments, "but we're not there yet," Woodcock stated at the December symposium sponsored by the International Consortium for Innovation & Quality in Pharmaceutical Development (IQ).
Woodcock made similar observations about lagging manufacturer investment in quality-by-design (QbD) approaches in June 2012 at the FDA/ISPE conference in Baltimore. Despite years of discussion about QbD and modern manufacturing systems, FDA still sees high reject rates and widespread product defects, Woodcock notes. Ongoing drug shortages, the recent drug compounding crisis, and frequent product recalls have intensified FDA's focus on strategies for improving quality drug production. These failures add to the cost of drug production, which depletes a company's R&D resources and often leads to higher drug prices.Instead, biopharmaceutical executives should regard quality drug production as a means to achieve a clear competitive advantage over competitors and as a "core competency" for management—an attitude that Woodcock finds rare. This approach could involve developing quantifiable metrics of quality, something that is done in other industries such as with automobile or television repair rates or airline on time percentage.
For pharmaceutical companies, metrics could be public, such as product recalls or inspection citations. More internal measures may include production cycle delays, rates in meeting specifications, or theoretical versus actual cycle times. Such assessments can document how more efficient production reduces waste and saves money, while also avoiding the recalls and safety problems that can damage corporate reputations. And savings in the manufacturing arena that support lower prices for new therapies will be particularly important as more personalized treatments emerge. Pharmaceutical management may be more willing to invest in modern production technology if it can decrease the cost of production, support faster approvals, avoid burning up patent coverage time, and facilitate reimbursement by payers.
"This has happened," Woodcock asserts, "and it's going to get worse" as FDA encounters more highly targeted cancer therapies that demonstrate complete response in phase I or II, but manufacturers that lack the capability to supply the product quickly. At a November 2012 conference on cancer research sponsored by Friends of Cancer Research and the Brookings Institution, Woodcock highlighted the potential benefits of the new policy for breakthrough therapies, while warning that drug manufacturing could be a "rate-limiting step" in development. To avoid such roadblocks, she recommended early, separate FDA meetings with sponsors on manufacturing issues to discuss the scale-up plan for a potentially critical drug.
Such discussions could highlight the benefits of adopting continuous manufacturing processes and QbD approaches to facilitate efficient transfer from development to commercial production. Manufacturers that adopt QbD early in the development process also may experience "fewer nasty surprises" in production, less waste, and more positive plant inspections down the road, Woodcock notes.

This is the fourth album in our series dedicated to the orchestral works of Mieczyslaw Weinberg, performed by the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra under Thord Svedlund. The cello soloist is Claes Gunnarsson, one of Sweden's leading cellists, who combines the post as Principal Cello of the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra with a brilliant solo career.
After the Second World War, along with many other composers, Weinberg was subjected to a series of campaigns against so-called Formalism in the Soviet arts. As a result he turned his attention to concertante works, a medium less prone to censure than symphonies, sonatas, and quartets. The first movement of the Cello Concerto shares the tense, pensive lyricism found in the opening Nocturne of Shostakovich's almost exactly contemporaneous First Violin Concerto. This later gives way to the rhythms of a habanera and some impassioned passages of Jewish klezmer, almost as if to guarantee a healthy quota of folk-rooted intonations (a required antidote to charges of Formalism), while at the same time allowing for deeper emotions too.
In the 1970s, Weinberg's symphonic production went in two distinct but complementary directions. One of these was at the patriotic end of the Socialist Realist spectrum, while the other was much more abstract. Weinberg's highly austere five-movement Symphony No. 20 clearly falls into the latter category – challenging, perplexing, and unpredictable. In the second scherzo Weinberg quotes from his opera The Portrait, based on a short story by Gogol. In fact, the finale perfectly captures the mood of the opera's closing scenes, in which the artist protagonist realises that he has betrayed his calling, and sinks into delirium and eventual death.
A previous volume in our Weinberg series (CHSA 5089: Symphony No. 3 and Suite No. 4 from The Golden Key) was nominated for a Grammy this year, in the Best Engineered Album category.
"Cellist Claes Gunnarsson plays with gorgeous tone, and with plenty of personality. In both the concerto and the symphony, Thord Svedlund and the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra, who have recorded several Weinberg discs for Chandos now, are confident and sympathetic advocates. .. this would be a good place to start, if you don't know Weinberg's music at all."
Raymond Tuttle – Fanfare – November/December 2012
Performance ***** Sound *****
"... it would be difficult to imagine a more assured and committed performance than is provided by the Gothenburg Symphony under Thord Svedlund..."
Erik Levi - BBC Music magazine - December 2012
***** (Very Good)
"...This is great music, very well rendered by the 'Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra' and the chief Thord Svedlund."
Marcel Louis - Pizzicato magazine - October 2012
"...Chandos now offers yet another recorded premiere: the 20th Symphony from 1988, superbly played by the Gothenburg Symphony under Thord Svedlund and captured in clear, airy, powerful sonics ... With a plenitude of inviting tunes, appealing solo part, admirable craftsmanship, engaging but unpretentious warmth, and easy-to-grasp formal and emotional patterns, this wonderful concerto is sure to please most music lovers on first hearing and would make a good introduction to the composer for anyone who hasn't yet discovered him...."
Lehman – American Record Guide – September/October 2012
Recording of the Month
"There is no way to prepare the new listener for Mieczyslaw Weinberg's cello concerto. I cannot describe its emotional tenor: the concerto's opening throws aside all pretensions, all formal dress, and simply exposes its heart. The work's full power works upon you within ten seconds...Gunnarsson is so good that this performance will be mandatory for much more than just the extraordinary sound quality...It is entirely Weinberg's, and it is a masterpiece. It deserves to be a mainstay of every cellist's repertoire, alongside Dvorák, Elgar, and Shostakovich, and if in a decade or two it has received the attention it deserves, we will have Chandos and soloist Claes Gunnarsson to thank."
Brian Reinhart - MusicWeb-International.com - 10 August 2012
Music **** (Very Good) Sound **** (Very Good)
Ole Pflüger – Fono Forum – August 2012
**** Excellent
Bertrand Dermoncourt – Classica magazine – July/August 2012
"...The Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra and conductor Thord Svedlund have been excellent advocates and proponents for the music of Mieczyslaw Weinberg, with highly recommendable recordings in this Chandos cycle, and this new release reinforces that fact and should add an extra chevron to their épaulettes. And I know I've said this many times before, but if you enjoy the music of Shostakovich, odds are you will also enjoy the music of Weinberg. They shared the same ideals and outlook. And if I dare say, I believe Weinberg was the more "musical" of the two. Highly Recommended!!
Jean-Yves Duperron - Classical Music Sentinel - June 2012
"...Thord Svedlund secures playing from the Gothenburg Symphony of an insight and commitment equal to that on the previous instalments in this series... as are the warmly spacious sound and David Fanning's notes. In bringing together the most approachable and inscrutable aspects of the composer's creativity, indeed, this is as thought-provoking a release as any in the Weinberg discography."
Richard Whitehouse – International Record Review – June 2012
"...Beautiful sound and excellent performances from Thord Svedlund's Gothenburg Orchestra."
Graham Rickson - The Arts Desk - June 2012
Performance ***** Sound *****
"Wholeheartedly recommended."

Earlier this year, fifth and eighth grade students in Mississippi took the Terra Nova exam. Given nationally, the tests measures public school students skills in math, reading and language.
With a national average of 50, overall state scores have improved and matched the national average in most cases. Locally, with an average score of 54 Lauderdale County schools scored higher than the national average.
"I think it's a culmination of things showing that our teachers are working harder than they ever have, so are our principals and students and parents," said Supt. David Little, Lauderdale County Schools.
Meanwhile, as for Meridian Public Schools the scores were lower than the national bar at an average of about 44.
"Of course, we always want to do better and we are doing better in individual schools. Over all, as a district we still have a long way to go," said Supt. Dr. Janet Mcli, Meridian Public School District.
As for other schools the district with the highest scores in the state was Claiborne County with 68.8. In our area Enterprise scored the highest with 58.5 for the fifth grade.
As for the districts with the lowest scores statewide, Jefferson County ranked at the bottom with a score of 32.1 while in our area the East Jasper County School district in Heidelberg ranked lowest with a rating for 38.5 for the fifth grade.
Other results show that many of the other schools districts within the WTOK viewing area scored just above or below the national average. Here are some of those results:
2002 Terra Nova Tests Scores: National Average 50.0
District - Grade 5 - Grade 8
For more information on how individuals schools ranked on the Terra Nova test you can log onto http://www.mde.k12.ms.us.
We now know where Mississippi kids rank nationally for reading and math, but by what standard.
It's more than 140 questions involving math, reading and language.
"This test matches up very well with the curriculum," said Clara Godine, Director of Curriculum for Lauderdale County Schools.
Mississippi uses McGraw Hill's Terra Nova test for 5th and 8th graders. This sample question is
one of the more basic that could appear on the test.
Students are given a sentence and must decide if it's correct or needs to be changed.
"My mother and I is planning to travel to Mexico next month."
Students have four choices.
This is a sample math question from the eighth grade test.
Each hive has 1 queen bee, about 1,000 drones, and about 50,000 workers. About what percentage of the bees in a hive are drones? Students could use a calculator to help them choose between:
"If teachers teach the Mississippi curriculum, students will have no problem on this test," said Godine.

On Friday, the Marietta Post of the Ohio State Highway Patrol bid farewell to long-time post commander Lt. Mary Pfeifer.
Pfeifer, who has been with the highway patrol for 30 years and has served as commander of the Marietta Post for 14 years, will now oversee 24 counties as the OSHP Commander for License and Commercial Standards.
"It will be a new chapter for me, not that I didn't enjoy the last one," said Pfeifer.

Ohio Highway Patrol Marietta Post Commander Lt. Mary Pfeifer, right, goes over reports with administrative assistant Mary Lou Schehl. After 14 years as Marietta Post Commander, Pfeifer has been reassigned to a new position that will have her splitting her time between Cambridge and Jackson.
She has seen a lot of changes in her years as post commander, Pfeifer said. For one thing, the number of women in the highway patrol has risen greatly.
"When I came on there were six women in the Ohio State Highway Patrol," she said.
Pfeifer's Ohio Peace Officer Basic Training Program class more than tripled that number in 1982, when 13 women graduated from the program.
Fact Box
Lt. Mary Pfeifer Bio
Born in Zanesville, Ohio.
Attended Ohio University.
1982: Graduated Ohio Peace Officer Basic Training Program and joined the Ohio State Highway Patrol as a dispatcher in Zanesville.
1984: Assigned as a OSHP trooper in Wooster.
1995: Promoted to sergeant while serving at the Athens Post.
1998: Moved to Marietta and promoted to Post Commander.
2012: Assigned to service as OSHP Commander for License and Commercial Standards, overseeing 24 counties.
Though it is not always easy for females in a male-dominated field to be in a position of leadership, several mentors have helped Pfeifer along the way, a favor she hopes to return.
"Somebody has helped you somewhere along the way, so I feel it's my job to return the favor," she said.
Lt. Anne Ralston, Columbus-based public affairs commander for the OSHP served as Marietta Post sergeant for five years and noted Pfeifer's role as a unifying leader.
"I thoroughly enjoyed my time at the Marietta Post," said Ralston. "She's built a great team at the post, a very loyal team."
In her time in Marietta, Pfeifer has also seen a decrease in the number of county-wide drunk driving fatalities.
"I don't attribute that to me. I think more people understand it is a huge issue," she said.
Still, the statistic resonates with Pfeifer, who was injured when a drunk driver struck her on her motorcycle in 2007.
"From a personal standpoint, I wanted to come back to work so bad. But it was a challenge coming back to work after that," she said.
Pfeifer's new assignment will split her duties between the Cambridge and Jackson post locations.
Though she could possibly reside in Marietta and commute to either post, Pfeifer has not yet decided where she will live. Regardless of what she chooses, she will miss spending time in the community that "has become more home than home" to her.
"It's not just the post. It's the community, the EMS people, the fire personnel, your judges, your prosecutors, your defense," she said.
But it is not just Pfeifer who will miss the community-many of those who have known Pfeifer throughout her years of service say they are sad to see her go.
"She was excellent to work with and I really enjoyed the relationship," said former Marietta City Law Director Roland W. Riggs III.
Added Washington County Sheriff Larry Mincks, "She's always been a pleasure to work with. We have cooperated between our agencies very well."
Pfeifer's last day as Marietta Post Commander was Friday. A new commander for the Marietta Post has not yet been chosen, she said.
As for her new position, Pfeifer will start Monday and looks forward to learning the ropes and meeting new people.
"Change is an opportunity for everyone," she said.

My wife and I are expecting ... a 90-pound bouncing baby 12-year-old girl (though don't tell her I called her a baby or revealed her weight -- it's a guess anyway).
My daughter, whom we'll call "Olivia" because that's her name, is coming to live with us at some point between the end of this school year and the beginning of the next.
It's something I've wanted since her mother and I split when she was 4. Though she spends half her vacations and every other weekend with me, Olivia has wanted to be here full time with her 11- and 5-year-old sisters for a while. And like a lot of fathers, I kind of like my kid.
But you know what they say about being careful what you wish for.
After months negotiating the details of the transaction with her mother (I offered draft picks and a child to be named later), I started thinking about what having my daughter back full time would entail. And I see challenges headed my way.
First of all, do you ever get something new and realize you're not sure where to put it? The older girls have slept in bunk beds for years and have grown to really hate it. They've learned about this "personal space" thing. It's not the beds as much as it is sharing a room. But we only have three bedrooms, and the 5-year-old gets her own because she's still cute.
So we have space issues that we're looking to resolve. That's code for "Tony has to get his finances in order so we can buy a bigger house." (Some of my neighbors just read that and are uncorking that bottle of champagne they've been saving for a special occasion.) I don't know if we'll have this resolved before September, but we're trying.
We'll also have issues with Daddy's patience. Three charged-up and unique young personalities unafraid to express themselves verbally or, occasionally, by throwing something and/or slamming a door, can be difficult to deal with just a few days a month. Managing the chaos full time will require my wife and me to make some life changes -- meditation, therapy, powerful mood-altering prescriptions -- I don't know. I do know it's about to get a lot louder around here.
Throw into the mix that the two older girls are going through ... changes ... and I may start having to buy Advil in bulk.
Her presence also means one more person to keep my wife and me from ever having any time for just the two of us. Which is OK -- I've already conceded that's not going to happen for years. I just pray my wife continues to let me live here until then.
The flip side to the scenario is that my daughter, as my businesswoman wife points out, is added value (I fled the room before she got out the spreadsheets).
Olivia is very good with the 5-year-old, the one her 11-year-old sister still hasn't even acknowledged has been born. She's very helpful around the house. My wife and I cleaned the garage a couple weeks ago and were startled when Olivia just walked in and started helping like she was a real human being or something.
As she gets older, she becomes better company for her Dad, because there's more to talk about -- and this kid can talk. And as a very active girl, she likes to force her sisters to put down the smart Droid-iPhone-iPod-Kindle things and go out to play. Which is good for everyone.
And best of all, I'll get to see her about seven times as often as I do now, making about seven times as many memories. That outweighs the increased craziness any day.

New IMI-Chairman looks to future
23.04.2012 - The Innovative Medicines Initiative (IMI), a €600m public-private partnership between 26 global pharma players and the European Commission, has a new Chairman.
At the beginning of March, Roch Doliveux, CEO of Brussels-headquartered UCB S.A., agreed to take the post. The Innovative Medicines Initiative (IMI) is an industry-led pre-competitive joint project aimed at overcoming current bottlenecks in the drug development process. Before joining UCB in 2003 and becoming the company's CEO in 2005, Doliveux worked for Ciba-Geigy and Schering-Plough.http://www.european-biotechnology-news.com/people/bio-people/2012/roch-doliveux.html
