Is this what we're trying to do?

As a member of the Louisiana Board of Elementary and Secondary Education and a director of human resources, I am appealing to the Louisiana Legislature to revisit COMPASS — the new teacher/leader evaluation program.
No teacher is opposed to an evaluation process; however, many teachers have concerns about the validity and reliability of COMPASS, particularly when Charlotte Danielson, the architect of COMPASS' key "Danielson Rubric" metric now used to evaluate teachers, is quoted in the January edition of the School Administrator as saying that districts or states should spend a year or more studying the process before implementing it.
Louisiana did not do this.
In another news article, she states her model should be used in its original format — unlike the piecemeal approach that has occurred in Louisiana.
Louisiana's implementation of the Danielson's evaluation process has been swift and piecemeal, contrary to the advice of Danielson.
The hasty implementation of policies, with limited discussions regarding their long-range implications, has impacted the morale of our teachers.
It is frustrating to see great teachers leave Louisiana's public schools.
Attrition levels are high, and recruiting new teachers is a challenge.
Recently, as a personnel director in St. Martin Parish, I offered a position to a new teacher who declined the job offer, saying she was going to "wait to see what happens."
She was concerned that COMPASS would not be a fair evaluation of her contributions in the classroom and was thinking of finding employment in another profession.
Some refute that COMPASS is the reason for teacher attrition in Louisiana.
Some even deny that teacher attrition is a concern.
While COMPASS may not be the sole reason for the sudden departure of teachers, there is no denying that untested, hastily implemented teacher evaluation programs and other policies are frustrating and contribute to poor morale among teachers.
Education is critical to every child's success.
Moving forward, with experienced and effective teachers resigning or retiring and new teachers harder to recruit, I see educational opportunities for students diminishing.
Is this our goal?

Assistance Systems
Tel. +49-841-89-573971
If you have questions about Audi or our products but are not a journalist, please contact our customer service department at:
Many Audi models come standard with assistance systems that enhance both comfort and safety. Take the preventive system Audi pre sense city in the Audi Q7, for example: A front-facing camera recognizes a potential collision. The system warns the driver and initiates emergency braking, if necessary. Our cars are becoming smarter and smarter, and thus also safer and safer. The long-term objective of this development is a vehicle that avoids accidents. But assistance systems can do even more.
They are assuming an ever-increasing number of tasks from the driver, making driving more comfortable. The traffic jam assist already makes stressful stop-and-go driving in congestion easier for the driver. In future models, the congestion pilot will be able to take over this task completely, making things even less stressful for the driver. And assistance systems can save fuel by using predictive route data and adjusting the car for the road ahead.

Warren Miles Long had a huge night as the third-seeded James Logan High football team opened the North Coast Section Division I playoffs with a 56-8 win over No. 14 Irvington at Tak Fudenna Stadium on Friday.
"We came out and did a tremendous job on both sides of the ball," Logan coach George Zuber said. "We wanted to give Long more reps on offense tonight and he had a phenomenal game for us."
With the win, the Colts (10-1) will host the winner of Saturday's Freedom/Berkeley game in the second round on Nov. 17 at 7 p.m.
Long ran for 211 yards on just 10 carries and scored four touchdowns. He set the tone early for the Colts, scoring on a 67-yard run on Logan's first play from scrimmage just 2 minutes and 16 seconds into the game.
Quarterback Jeffrey Prothro then hit Amalani Fukofuka for touchdown strikes of 32 and 30 yards as the Colts opened up a 21-0 first quarter lead.
Fukofuka finished with six receptions for 176 yards and four touchdowns.
Irvington (4-7) broke the shutout when Mahmoud Eldesouky bulled his way from 1 yard out with 2:52 left in the game.
This was James Logan's first NCS win since 2007. The last four seasons, the Colts lost their first postseason game.
The Colts received the No. 2 seed for the Division I playoffs last season and had a first-round bye but lost in the quarterfinals to San Ramon Valley.

3.13-1 Assault
Revised to January 1, 2008
The plaintiff alleges that
the conduct of the defendant constituted an assault.
An assault is an act that
causes another person to be placed in imminent apprehension of a
harmful or offensive contact with that person.
The plaintiff must have
believed that the act would result in imminent contact unless
prevented by self-defensive action or flight or the intervention of
some outside force.
A harmful contact is one
that causes physical impairment of the condition of another's body,
physical pain, or illness. An offensive contact is one that offends
a reasonable sense of personal dignity.
The act must be done by
the defendant intentionally, wantonly, or without the exercise of
due care.

Editor's note: This dispatch describes Thursday at the Republican National Convention in Tampa, Fla.
The last day - and what a day. Remember the small breakfast group? Well we had Condi to ourselves and she couldn't have been better. Did I say smart yesterday? And gracious? What a class act. Then Ari Fleischer. As press secretary he was always one of my favorites but we saw a pretty funny side.
Bob McDonnell completed the morning. Talk about not having a hair out of place. He makes MItt look positively messy!
At my table was the Hungarian Ambassador Gyorgy Szapary. He saw me taking notes and asked if I was a journalist. I told him that was a stretch but that I was writing for our local paper. I'm not totally sure why he was there - he said he wanted to support democracy and asked that I mention his attendance - so I am.
We had some free time before the 5 o'clock bus. The fiasco of the 2 1/2-hour bus ride yesterday was finally explained - our driver got lost. Unbelievable. So the 45-minute ride to the convention center seemed a relief.
When we got there, it was apparent that some sort of demonstration was brewing. Once again, the "rules" issue was front and center. Believe me on this. I have asked at least a dozen people to explain the Maine problem to me and I've received a dozen different explanations. Suffice it to say that it is complicated but I for one would have brought it to a floor vote just to stop the disruption even though I'm not sure that would have been enough.
Thursday provided another day of powerful speakers. I'm still trying to figure out why anyone thought we needed to hear from Callista Gingrich, but we did. And did I say Newt was there also? But I have a question. Do full grown adults really walk around holding hands at public events? Just asking.
Jeb Bush got a huge ovation. He's really loved in Florida and it was obvious. He spoke about education as that was a hallmark of his administration.
And then Clint. What can I say. The buzz all week was that there would be a surprise guest. And he was sensational. But mostly, he was Clint. Why would he be anything else?
To the Republican rock star, Marco Rubio, fell the role of introducing Mitt. This is a guy who is so comfortable in his skin and has such an easy and natural speaking style that listening is easy. By all accounts, he represents the future of the Republican party. Some people are just born with the ability to give a speech, smile while telling their story, interject a joke or two and be all around engaging. Rubio is such a guy. And of course it doesn't hurt that he's also smart, nice looking and quick on is feet. The total package and we're lucky to have him.
But Mitt Romney was the star of the night. His entrance through the crowd caused a stir and created huge energy even before he took the stage. I'm not going to say he has the same natural style as a Rubio for example, but he has a message that we need to hear.
I think he represents the best of America. Like his policies or not, this is a guy who has worked hard and made it big - and hopefully even bigger.
Tomorrow I'll do a recap.
Eagle County Republicans Chairwoman Kaye Ferry, of Vail, was a delegate at the Republican National Convention in Tampa, Fla. She is sending dispatches to the Vail Daily.

A hefty agenda awaited the Infrastructure Committee during a special Tuesday meeting at City Hall, including updates to planned Ridgecrest Boulevard construction, clearing the median on Downs Street at Bowman Avenue and several minor updates on pending projects.
The committee was shown an update of the proposed Richmond Road Bike Path, going east and west as a combined class one and class two bicycle paths.
"A Class One is like the Bowman bike path now, separate from the road way," Vice Mayor Jerry Taylor explained Thursday. "Class Two is like College Heights, which is next to the car lane, but is assigned only to bikes."
The bike path is currently awaiting funding sources through KernCOG before work can begin.
"This is a project request to bike paths along both sides of Richmond Road because we don't have the dedicated area for a separate two-way Class One bike path like the Bowman channel," Taylor said.
"We have been working on improving the bicycle commuting and recreation capability of the area for a long time," Taylor said.
The plan has been a major part of the 2009 Ridgecrest General Plan when Taylor chaired the Planning Commission.
"We want to circle Ridgecrest with a walking and biking path, some of which can be on county and Navy property," he said.
The committee was also presented with a map of substandard streets like Bowman Road from China Lake Boulevard to Forest Knoll Street and Mahan Street between Springer and Upjohn avenues. Houses built on those streets require an additional $1,800 development fee to offset future maintenance.
"The extra fee along with other street dollars are used to properly pave the street someday, like we have on certain streets in Ridgecrest Heights," Taylor said.
Substandard streets are defined by what the type of construction used to build a road, like using desert mix as a material.
"Basically the street was not constructed to normal standards," Taylor said. "That is not a normally constructed road that requires x inches of asphalt over a base of y inches of compacted base."
The committee entertained several possible solutions for the cleanup of the Downs-Bowman median.
According to Taylor the solutions ranged from cutting it all down with possible repayment to the state or federal government for the landscaping, to thinning the vegetation out, to no left turns for the side streets entering on to Downs.
The idea is set to return to either the committee or the council for further discussion.
The Ridgecrest Boulevard improvement plan received some brief discussion, which is still slated as project to begin in 2013.
The project moved beyond ones that have recently occurred around the city.
Page 2 of 2 - "A lot of utilities need to be lowered at their cost to allow the height of the road to be set properly," Taylor said. "We will reestablish a curb and gutter system again throughout so normal rain water will flow. "
According to Taylor, the plan has been on the city's books for more than four years. The project has a $13 million price tag.
"The initial work to determine utility depths, right-of-way issues and elevation was around $800,000, funded over three years by redevelopment money.
"At the moment is it considered shovel-ready," Taylor said.

New PhRMA.org Launches Just in Time For #PhRMA13
New PhRMA.org Unveiled at #PhRMA13
04.11.13 | By Jon Tripp
As we gear up for discussion today around research, progress and hope at our 2013 Annual Meeting in San Diego, we are enthusiastic about the re-launch of our website, PhRMA.org. With the goal of extending PhRMA's online reach, the site is the central hub for our digital and social media communications efforts and represents a big step forward in our overall program.
After seeking input from stakeholders and other industry professionals, PhRMA.org incorporates features to help ease navigation around the site. One of the major changes is a new structure and cleaner design, reducing the total number of pages on the site and improving organization. Another new feature is the PhRMApedia resource hub, a virtual library that houses PhRMA.org content dating back to 2009. This searchable library will help locate more detailed information.
Because we've quickly become a mobile society, we understand our audience is often on the go. PhRMA.org can now be accessed from any smart phone or tablet.
We view this launch as the first phase in the ongoing evolution of our online efforts, and invite our readers to view the new site today. We're excited to hear feedback and welcome comments below.
Be sure to follow us throughout the 2013 Annual Meeting on Twitter using the hashtag #PhRMA13 and sharing your thoughts on Facebook. We'll also be posting regularly here on The Catalyst.

Public education lobbyist Bill Duncan: Scrap N.H.'s school vouchers
How is it that New Hampshire's voucher tax credit program can find only 15 public school students who want vouchers, and is giving them $164,000 – $11,000 apiece – to leave their public schools and go to private schools. The program then spreads the rest of its $235,000 pool of donations among 85 more students whose families are already paying their way in private and home schools, making the average scholarship equal the $2,500 required by the voucher law.

SAN FRANCISCO -- In the wake of last weekend's limousine fire that killed five women, California Public Utilities Commission members on Thursday called for tighter safety regulations, including annual inspections and rules governing how stretch limos are built.
"This terrible accident has made me aware that there seems to be a gap here in coverage that is a significant concern," commission President Michael Peevey said at a PUC meeting.
This newspaper reported Wednesday that the state doesn't perform safety inspections for smaller limousines the way it does for buses and for-hire vans. It also has no rules specifying how regular-sized cars can be turned into stretch limos in private garages, where they are cut in half and lengthened with a long passenger cabin -- a process safety experts say adds stress to critical components such as fuel lines and electrical wiring.
The Saturday night fire in a 1999 Lincoln Town Car on the San Mateo Bridge near Foster City remains under investigation by the PUC and California Highway Patrol, authorities said Thursday. No cause of the blaze, which appeared to start in the rear of the car owned by Limo Stop Inc. of San Francisco and San Jose, has been made public.
The five women killed were part of a bachelorette party. The driver and four women, two of whom suffered severe injuries, were able to escape.
The conversion of popular luxury models like Lincoln Town Cars and Cadillacs into stretch limos creates the "potential for additional risk and (the vehicles are) not inspected by anyone," Commissioner Mark Ferron said.
Commissioner Catherine Sandoval said that if "inspections would be helpful" the Legislature should give the PUC "the authority and the resources" to do them.
The comments came the day after state lawmakers continued to rip the PUC for a lax attitude on safety, and commission Executive Director Paul Clanon admitted at a Sacramento hearing that he didn't know if stretch limos were inspected after being converted. They aren't.
The CHP performs annual inspections on limos designed to take 10 or more passengers -- vehicles that state regulations technically consider to be buses.
Clanon told commissioners on Thursday that any regulatory changes should wait until the cause of Saturday night's inferno is known. "We don't know yet what caused this fire, and a proper risk analysis depends on knowing the facts first," he said.
On Thursday, Sen. Jerry Hill, D-San Mateo, a commission critic, said the PUC provides only "negligible oversight" over the limousine business. Hill is likely to introduce legislation Friday to require fire extinguishers in limos, and Hill said he will probably add other safety provisions to the legislation.
Like the deadly 2010 San Bruno natural gas pipeline explosion, it takes a "disaster to show" the commission's regulatory shortcomings, Hill said.
In an interview Thursday, former CHP Commissioner Spike Helmick also called for numerous measures to make limos safer, including annual safety inspections.
"There is no reason not to do it," said Helmick, who led the CHP from 1995 to 2004. "There shouldn't be a magic number of passengers" to trigger inspections because limos "are for-hire vehicles just like buses."
Helmick said he would endorse other safety measures that transportation experts say may have helped the women in the limo, including a third door at the front of the passenger compartment, an intercom to reach the driver, mandatory fire extinguishers and an alarm system.
"I mean, what if you are having a heart attack back there," Helmick said.
The driver of the limo said earlier this week that when the women yelled to him over loud music that there was smoke in the passenger compartment that he thought they were asking if it was OK to smoke cigarettes, so he didn't immediately stop.
The vice president of a state limousine-owner association said Thursday that the industry would welcome reforms.
"We would back any new regulations that concern safety," said Rich Azzolino, vice president of the Greater California Livery Association.

Windows at its bestThe windows 7 home premium or the windows 7 series comes with a lot of amazing features, I like the dedicated search box in every folder and also the search box on the start up menu, the grouping of icons on the task bar is also a really great feature..The windows 7 themes are pleasing to the eye, they are never dull. I have never seen a crash since the day I have been using it. Some features like looking up for updates for driver from third party vendor keeps your system updated all round. windows 7 home Premium is enough for average home usage.

7'sMicrosoft Windows 7 Home Premium offers easy computing experience and complete entertainment solution at affordable price.And Windows 7 Home Premium has to prove itself as the natural successor to the ultimately-disappointing Windows Vista Ultimate â?? because given the price tag, Windows 7 Ultimate isn't always the best choice.

Tomato genome decoded
31.05.2012 - Researchers have decoded the tomato genome, laying the foundation for smart breeding of other species of the solanaceae family.
Ghent, Rome, Harpenden, Washington – A consortium of 300 researchers from 14 countries has decoded 80% of the tomato genome, and 90% of its 35,000 protein-coding genes. The leaders of the UK arm of the Tomato Genome Consortium (TGC), Graham Seymour at the University of Nottingham and Gerard Bishop, formerly of Imperial College London, stressed the sequence will make precision breeding possible not just in tomatoes, but also in other crop species from the Solanaceae or nightshade family, such as aubergines and peppers.
They said it could help to develop tomato varieties that can survive pests, pathogens and even climate change, as well as high-yield crops that still have a good flavour. "It's really all about making a better tomato," commented Allen Van Deynze, a molecular geneticist at the Seed Biotechnology Center at the University of California, Davis. "This work enables a lot of things we just couldn't do before."
The researchers compared the sequences a domesticated tomato variety used to produce the famous ketchup ("Heinz1706") and its closest wild relative, /Solanum pimpinellifolium/ and its functional consequences. "For any characteristic of the tomato, whether it's taste, natural pest resistance or nutritional content, we've captured virtually all those genes," said James Giovannoni from the Boyce Thompson Institute for Plant Research at Cornell University, who was part of the U.S. tomato sequencing team. The research also offers some insight into how the tomato ripens and how its relatives diversified and adapted to new environments. Using traditional Sanger sequencing, the TGC started its work in 2003 but the genome sequence still had major holes by 2008. Next generation sequencing helped the consortium to close the gaps and to translate the genetic information into biological functions. Belgian experts from VIB and University Ghent mainly lead the gene prediction that translated the raw genome sequence in biological knowledge.http://www.european-biotechnology-news.com/news/news/2012-02/tomato-genome-decoded.html

State police in upstate New York say two people on separate snowmobiles have been killed in an accident in Indian Lake.
Authorities say the accident happened on the lake at 6:44 p.m. Saturday and involved two snowmobiles.
Details of the accident were not immediately available. State police say more information would be released on Monday.
The accident was one of two fatal crashes involving snowmobiles in the Adirondacks on Saturday.
State police say a 47-year-old Herkimer County man was killed after his snowmobile went off a trail and crashed in the town of Ohio, about 60 miles northeast of Syracuse. Authorities say Scott Streeter was thrown from the sled and hit a tree. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Tuscaloosa votes to join with Northport on business study
Published: Wednesday, November 21, 2012 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, November 20, 2012 at 11:50 p.m.
TUSCALOOSA | Officials in Tuscaloosa and Northport agree that a proliferation of businesses like tattoo parlors and check-cashing operations creates an undesired image to visitors and residents.
How, exactly, to regulate these businesses remains the question.
On Tuesday, the Tuscaloosa City Council took the final step to determine what kind of secondary effects these businesses create in the communities and neighborhoods that surround them.
With a unanimous vote, Tuscaloosa city leaders agreed to join with the city of Northport on an approximately $43,000 consultant-led study into how these businesses affect nearby areas. The cities will evenly share the cost, which contractually cannot exceed $50,000, and the Northport City Council approved its share of the contract on Nov. 1.
The study, being led by Cooper Consulting Co., is expected to look at tattoo and piercing parlors, pawnshops, fireworks stands (in Northport only; Tuscaloosa bans fireworks sales), title loan shops, payday loan operations, cash-and-go businesses, check-cashing stores, tobacco shops, adult bookstores, sex item shops and hand carwash businesses.
Northport imposed a six-month moratorium on these businesses in September.
In Tuscaloosa, these businesses are all limited to locating within the city's mixed use, or MX, zones, but they can operate as the market will bear in other parts of the city.
The lack of regulation has allowed some of these businesses to concentrate in certain areas of Tuscaloosa, which Councilman Kip Tyner wants addressed.
"I have great concerns over the tackiness of McFarland Boulevard," Tyner said during Tuesday's meeting of the Public Projects Committee.
Whether these businesses will face similar or more stringent regulations throughout all of Tuscaloosa as they now do in the MX zones — only one for every 300 feet or one per block face — will be determined by the outcome of the study.
John McConnell, director of the city's Department of Planning and Development Services, said the study would create the legal and data-based support needed to justify any additional regulations.
"To regulate any further than we do now, we need a firmer foundation with a better set of facts," McConnell said.
The issue dates back to the summer, when Tyner began an effort to halt the relocation of an Alberta-based tattoo shop to a more visible location on University Boulevard East.
The scrutiny on these types of businesses caused the Northport City Council to impose its moratorium on Sept. 17 after Tyner proposed a ban on similar businesses within the city of Tuscaloosa's MX zones.
Once Northport took action, the Tuscaloosa City Council considered banning the same types of businesses out of concern that Northport's ban would push the businesses across the river. However, the Tuscaloosa City Council opted not to pursue the ban on Oct. 9, and instead decided to conduct a study on the effects of the businesses.
The 90-day study is expected to be complete by March 16, the date on which Northport's ban on these types of businesses will end.

Russia's Moon Mission Rocket Creeps Closer to Completion

In Soviet Russia, space travels you
The U.S. may have
given up on a fresh Moon shot
for now, but its former Cold War-era space race rival
has fresh hopes
to finally achieve what it could not do in the Soviet-era -- set foot on the moon.
Corporate president Vitaly Lopota, head of one of Russia's largest commercial space companies -- Space Corp. Energia --
that it had fulfilled a its design objectives it took on when it won an April 2009 contract to design a new multi-purpose rocket.
Comments Mr. Lopota, "We have completed the technical design project taking into account the fact that the new spaceship is to fly to the Moon, among other places."
In addition to a potential Moon shot, the rocket will be tasked with ferrying cargo and passengers to and from the International Space Station (ISS). Federal Space Agency Roscosmos head Vladimir Popovkin announced earlier in the year that the rocket would be constructed and operational by 2018; the news from Energia shows that target may indeed by reached.

Russia seemingly is in a bit stronger position than the U.S., in that it still maintains domestic capability to launch humans into space (aboard the seasoned Soyuz capsule craft). However, the program is under pressure after a string of failed
and/or delayed
commercial launches. Most recently a suspected failure in the Briz-M booster
scuttled a Proton rocket launch
from the Baikonur space center in Kazakhstan. The expensive August 2011 failure destroyed two commercial satellites.
Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev gave the Russian space agency and its private partners until the end of the summer to work out a plan to fix the deterioriating situation.
While the design side of the equation appears to be rolling forward, the business plan to remedy the recent issues is still very much up in the air. Chief Popovkin had proposed creating a holding company that would tie together top commercial space firms -- such as Khrunichev and TsSKB Progress. The plan then involved creating a sub-holding company inside the greater holding pool to specifically pull in the smaller engine producers, including Energomash, the Khimavtomatiki design bureau, the Voronezh mechanical works, Proton PM, and others.
However, Mr. Lopota blasted that plan, calling it a non-market measure. Some opponents feel that shareholders in the corporate space firms will be short-changed if the government combines them, and further feel that it's a return to Russia's communist past -- a controversial topic in modern Russia.

RE: go for it!
Humans in space are a technological, biological, and economic nonstarter for the foreseeable future. Sure, we can blow untold billions on publicity stunts with negligible real payoff... But if we want to spend tax payer money WISELY and if we want to maximize the LONG TERM payoff, then we have to start thinking and investing strategically and analytically, rather than with our gut. We need to drastically lower costs of launching payload to orbit. We need to develop new propulsion, shielding, and repair/maintenance technologies. We need to work on improved materials, and better space hardened electronics. We have decades if not centuries of tech development before we can start building AFFORDABLE and SUSTAINABLE colonies on the Moon, never mind Mars or asteroids. Until we have the right tech capabilities, all we can do is one-shot flag-planting propaganda trips at prohibitively enormous costs. Dreaming about Star Trek won't make it happen any sooner: it will take a great deal more hard and tedious R&D to make any real progress. So we can either spend money on that, or we can waste that money on geopolitical stunts.
As for inspiring future generations, how about overhauling education curricula to make STEM mandatory rather than elective, to create integrated cross-disciplinary curricula that span the entire k-12 period instead of disjointed yearly plans that wastefully rehash the same thing again and again, to introduce hard sciences like chemistry and physics, together with higher math starting with algebra, in middle school and teach those subjects to ever higher levels until graduation. In short, stop treating kids like incapable imbeciles, and start really challenging them and demanding excellence as a matter of course - instead of boring them to tears and teaching them to hate STEM. That would go a long way toward ensuring that we as a whole continue to make rapid progress. And leave inspiration to sci fi books/movies/shows/games - it worked well enough in the past; no need to reinvent that wheel.
RE: go for it!
It has been proven that children are capable of learning very advanced subjects at very young ages, so we should start with math and science as early as possible. I have seen kids who can understand algebra at even third grade levels, problem is most teachers teaching that level don't even understand it well. In the U.S. we have allowed the vocal minority who want to push arts and humanities as the focus of our educational system to have their way at the expense of having a good science and math curriculum. One study I found has the US ranked at 14th in the world in Reading, while we rank 17th at Science and only 25th in Math. Japan and Finland are at the top of the list currently, why are we not closer to the top?
One reason we are not at the top is we have allowed the entitlement ideology to permeate our society to the point that we believe we shouldn't have to require people to do things but that government should do them for us. Why learn to read, write, do math or science when we can just sit home and watch TV instead. Another is that we seem to be afraid to ask children to actually put forth an effort to learn or make them spend time and energy to learn when they want to do other things, as if making them do something will somehow destroy their self esteem so much that they will become some kind of nonfunctional creature with a broken psyche. Children are much tougher than we give them credit, they can handle a little pressure to perform, and used wisely it will make them stronger as adults. My parents made me do my homework before I could play with my toys or go visit friends, I didn't end up homeless on the streets, I ended up with a degree in chemistry, and interest in art and the ability to write not only technical papers but fiction as well all while still having a well rounded social life.
We have allowed lazy people to succeed in this country and now they are the driving influence on our society, I am afraid of where that will lead if something is not done about it soon.

LIVERMORE -- Jorge Zamora and Erika Herrera were worried.
Their preteen had been spending time behind a locked bedroom door, not speaking and drawing strange, disturbing images -- people crying tears of blood. The couple had been warned by friends about the difficult teen years, but their child's behavior left them flabbergasted.
Finally, their child saw a school psychologist, who recommended family counseling. The couple also enrolled in the Parent Project, a training program that teaches Tri-Valley parents how to improve communication skills with their children and enforce discipline at home without sacrificing empathy.
Sitting in class on a recent day, held at Livermore's Del Valle Continuation School, the couple scribbled in notebooks as a facilitator asked parents to think about how to improve the family dynamics that for many had all but broken down.
"You love listening to music when you're happy and when you're sad, so why do you get upset when your children want to listen to music?" said Sandra Martinez, one of the instructors and a graduate of the program.
"Because it's terrible!" quipped one mother. "All they listen to is rap. I can't stand it."
Everyone laughed, but Martinez reminded the woman that she could bond with her son by asking him about his musical choices.
"Take an interest in what they're interested in; find out about their music, their friends and who their boyfriend and girlfriend is," she said.
It sounds like common sense, but it's a revelation to parents who themselves may have had poor role models or equate parenting with providing food and clothes and requiring obedience but not much else. The class is put on by Horizons Family Counseling, a division of the Livermore Police Department that has offered counseling support to Tri-Valley families for 40 years.
The program is offered in English and Spanish, although with Livermore's Hispanic population growing over the past decade, demand for Spanish language classes is stronger. Many parents find themselves in class after months of frustration of dealing with teens who don't want to go to school, who start using drugs or perhaps simply don't listen to their parents. Others are referred by the Alameda County Juvenile Probation Department after their children are arrested or cited.
"This program gives a very clear cognitive behavioral map where parents learn that they never have to argue with their child again," said Ileana Soto, a family therapist at Horizons. "They can say 'I love you too much to argue. I need a time out.' "
Ana Garcia came to the program to learn how to deal with her teen who "doesn't like to follow the rules."
In the class, Garcia is learning to tie behavioral problems to penalties, such as taking away a phone or not buying certain things.
"I'm learning how to say 'no' and really mean it," she said, adding that she explains to her child that actions have consequences.
For parents who speak only Spanish, establishing authority can be even more challenging because they are unable to help their children with homework and may not know how to navigate the system, counselors said.
"In a lot of these families, the children are in control: of the language, because the parents may be uneducated, undocumented or lack a support network," said Adriana Lavinsky, who runs the Spanish-language parenting classes at Horizons. "The parents very often feel intimidated."
In the class, parents learn simple techniques that help them retain authority at home, while being more compassionate to their children's needs. As for the Zamoras, they say the program has already helped. Their preteen's grades have rebounded, and the depression is gone.
"Before, we would discipline by only saying 'No' or 'Don't do that,' " Jorge Zamora recalled. "This class is teaching us how to listen more and be fully engaged in our (child's) life."

Can somebody help me understand something...
I am using the optical output of the PS3. It is going to my AV reciever.
I also have connected the analog outputs of the PS3 to the receiver and turned the multiple audio output feature on.
My receiver has a zone2 feature that runs a couple speakers from an analog source while simultaneously playing Dolby digital or DTS 5.1 from a digital input source.
If I stream a file to the PS3 from the PS3 media server with AC3 (dolby digital) or transcode an audio file to AC3 everything works as expected.
The way I understand it the PS3 downscales the AC3 signal to two channel analog stereo and output that via the red and white RCA cables.
If I turn on the LPCM 2.0 wrapping option in the media server and transcode using tsMuxer the receiver gets the DTS signal and playes that 5.1 ok but zone 2 gets crazy static.
What is going on here exactly?
My guess is that with the wrapping option the PS3 is assuming that the audio track is LPCM 2.0 (since that is what is in the header). It then converts that LPCM 2.0 audio stream to two channel analog stereo. However since what is in there is actually a DTS track the conversion results into the static mess I hear. If an AC3 track were in there the same thing would occur.
Am I right? Is there a way to get the multiple audio to work properly when wrapping? What about converting to LPCM 5.1 and sending that audio? Is there something different in the latest releases of the media server that would have an affect on this?

3.11-10 Defenses - Truth
Revised to January 1, 2008
As I have instructed you, the
burden is on the plaintiff to prove that the defendant made the defamatory
statement about (him/her). Even if the plaintiff does prove that the
statement was made, however, (he/she) cannot recover if the statement was,
in fact, true.
In the defendant's answer,
(he/she) raised the defense that the statement was true. The defendant,
thus, has the burden of proving that the statement was true. The plaintiff
does not have to prove that the statement was false. To sustain this
burden, the defendant must prove that the statements were substantially
The defendant's proof that the
statements were true must be as to all of the libelous statements that you
may find (he/she) made. In addition, the statements must have been true at
the time they were made, not true at an earlier time or prove to be true
because of circumstances that occur after they were made.
If the defendant does prove, by a
preponderance of the evidence, that the statements (he/she) made were
substantially true at the time that (he/she) made them, then (he/she) must
prevail on his defense and your verdict should be for the defendant.
Goodrich v. Waterbury Republican-American, Inc.,
188 Conn. 107, 112-13 (1982); Moynahan v. Waterbury Republican, Inc.,
92 Conn. 331 (1918).
If the jury does not find that
the defendant has proved the substantial truth of any statements made, they
may still consider the evidence offered to refute a claim of malice or to
refute a claim for punitive damages.

The TC-1202 Tire Changer. VALUE… FOR YOU
Ease of Use
United Products' versatile TC-1202 makes tire changing tasks quick and easy. It allows a single operator to position and hold down the tire with total control - safely and efficiently. The bead blaster's carefully constructed blade protects the rim and tire, and makes bead loosening easy. The swing arm effortlessly adjusts the position of the tool head, enhancing wheel control.
Bead Breaking Made Easy
AAE's tire changers are supplied with a powerful bead breaking system, providing effortless separation of the bead from the rim. At the press of a pedal, the TC-1202's pneumatic bead breaker applies 5500 pounds of pressure – and you're ready to demount the tire.
Comprehensive Rim Protection
The TC-1202's optional "duck-head" mounting head is poly-coated to protect rims. In fact, all every part that may contact the rim - rollers, shovel, and clamps, is coated with the same protective poly-based material. Other parts, such as the mounting bar, are designed to avoid all contact with the rims.
Space Saving Design
The massive tower on the TC-1202 provides all of the pressure required for the "jet blast" used to seal the bead. The tower's efficient cylindrical shape stores a greater volume of air, providing all the pressure needed for the blast -
with no need for an external storage tank.
This efficient design saves shop space and reduces the chance of damage to the unit.
Special Attention to Moving Parts
At AAE, we listen to our customers! If you speak to many users of tire changers, their number one complaint will be about "broken pedals". So, to help protect your investment in our tire changers, we pay special attention to the quality of moving parts. For instance, the TC-1202's foot pedal configuration has been designed for and tested under extreme pressure, assuring you years of trouble-free use.
WB-1100 Wheel Balancer
The WB-1100 is a commercial-grade, highly durable wheel balancing system, designed for years of reliable service. Ideal for busy automotive service shops and tire stores, the system is fully computerized and self-calibrating. No need for service calls!

Ergonomic computer console
Belt-driven wheel rotation
Weight storage compartment
Three centering cones included
Ounce/gram and inch/mm selectable
Static (at rest) and dynamic (in-motion) balancing
4 dynamic balancing programs

The WB-1100 Wheel Balancer. VALUE… FOR YOU

The WB-1100 saves you time and effort. With a few keystrokes on its easy-to-use computer console, input the wheel dimensions, select the balancing program, and you're ready to roll! At the end of the cycle, the unit brakes automatically. In addition, the WB-1100 comes with a quick-release lug nut that speeds up balancing operations.

About the Book
A remarkable novel about secrets, desire, memory, passion, and possibility.
Newlywed Grace Monroe doesn't fit anyone's expectations of a successful 1950s London socialite, least of all her own. When she receives an unexpected inheritance from a complete stranger, Madame Eva d'Orsey, Grace is drawn to uncover the identity of her mysterious benefactor.
Weaving through the decades, from 1920s New York to Monte Carlo, Paris, and London, the story Grace uncovers is that of an extraordinary women who inspired one of Paris's greatest perfumers. Immortalized in three evocative perfumes, Eva d'Orsey's history will transform Grace's life forever, forcing her to choose between the woman she is expected to be and the person she really is.
The Perfume Collector explores the complex and obsessive love between muse and artist, and the tremendous power of memory and scent.
An inheritance from a mysterious stranger . . .
An abandoned perfume shop on the Left Bank of Paris . . .
And three exquisite perfumes that hold a memory . . . and a secret
London, 1955: Grace Monroe is a fortunate young woman. Despite her sheltered upbringing in Oxford, her recent marriage has thrust her into the heart of London's most refined and ambitious social circles. However, playing the role of the sophisticated socialite her husband would like her to be doesn't come easily to her—and perhaps never will.
Then one evening a letter arrives from France that will change everything. Grace has received an inheritance. There's only one problem: she has never heard of her benefactor, the mysterious Eva d'Orsey.
So begins a journey that takes Grace to Paris in search of Eva. There, in a long-abandoned perfume shop on the Left Bank, she discovers the seductive world of perfumers and their muses, and a surprising, complex love story. Told by invoking the three distinctive perfumes she inspired, Eva d'Orsey's story weaves through the decades, from 1920s New York to Monte Carlo, Paris, and London.
But these three perfumes hold secrets. And as Eva's past and Grace's future intersect, Grace realizes she must choose between the life she thinks she should live and the person she is truly meant to be.
Illuminating the lives and challenging times of two fascinating women, The Perfume Collector weaves a haunting, imaginative, and beautifully written tale filled with passion and possibility, heartbreak and hope.

NEW ORLEANS -- Michael Crabtree soaked up the lights, cameras and wackiness of Super Bowl Media Day on Tuesday with a smile that would have been hard to find last week.
In his first extended public comments since San Francisco prosecutors chose not to file sexual assault charges against Crabtree, the wide receiver said he was disappointed that he had to deal with the allegations but happy that he was finally able to move on.
"I don't think that can follow me," Crabtree said. "That's behind me now. I'm just really looking forward to the Super Bowl."
The San Francisco Police Department had been investigating claims that Crabtree assaulted a woman at a San Francisco hotel after the 49ers won their playoff opener on Jan. 12. The investigation was completed last week, and District Attorney George Gascon announced Friday that charges would not be filed. Crabtree, who caught six passes for 57 yards in the NFC Championship, said he never considered the investigation a distraction.
"I respect the system and whatever they had to do," he said. "I was disappointed with the allegations, but at the same time I had to deal with it."
The Ravens will have to deal with Crabtree on Sunday, and he said he still feels that he has something left to prove despite having the best season of his career. Crabtree led the 49ers with 85 receptions, 1,105 yards and nine touchdowns, and on Tuesday he credited Randy Moss with much of this season's growth.
"A guy like that, a legend, is someone that you looked up to when you were younger," Crabtree said. "He plays a big role. His voice alone gets you hyped. Him being around just brings the best out of us."
Crabtree compared Moss to Charles Barkley in terms of being somebody who isn't afraid to speak his mind, and said the receivers have even coined a phrase during their first season with Moss.
"When you catch a ball over (a defensive back), it's always 'getting Moss'd,' " Crabtree said. "Its funny -- you talk to the DB and you say 'You got Moss'd' and Moss is sitting right there next to you."
While Moss sat a few podiums down at the Superdome and called himself the greatest receiver of all time, Crabtree shied away from any bold proclamations. He plans on keeping a low profile and called the experience "unreal." But he doesn't plan to call his shot.
As he sat on a podium stationed in the corner of the 49ers end zone, Crabtree said he isn't holding on to any lifelong dreams of catching a game-winning touchdown in the Super Bowl. He doesn't want the 49ers to even be in that position.
"I dream of having the game over at halftime," Crabtree said, smiling.
