The parents of Lazear Elementary School in Oakland are famous for their fight. They went on strike in the 1990s to protest substandard facilities -- and again in 2010, saying the district was acting far too slowly to remove a bad teacher.
So last fall, after the Oakland school board voted to close the Fruitvale-area school as part of a downsizing plan, it was no surprise when the parents announced that they planned to open a charter school in its place. Most of the children at Lazear walk to school, and they said there weren't enough spaces in nearby schools to accommodate them.
During a meeting in late March, the school board appeared to signal its support for their cause, especially in light of transportation concerns. But on Wednesday night, Lazear parents learned their struggle wasn't over. In a split vote, the Oakland school board voted down the charter petition.
"I know the tide has shifted," Hae-Sin Thomas, director of the Education for Change charter management organization, told the board before the decision. "I've been in this district long enough to know when tides shift."
The financial impact of a proposed charter school is not grounds for denying its petition under California charter school law.
But, based on the school board members' public remarks Wednesday, a fiscal analysis released this week by the district's financial services department appeared to influence the vote.
If Lazear became a charter school, according to the analysis, the district would lose more than $1.4 million in state funding. Superintendent Tony Smith told the board that Lazear's charter conversion would wipe out any additional money that the district was planning to give its schools in 2012-13 as a result of the school closure savings.
As Smith was quick to note, the school district's charter schools office did originally conclude that the Lazear petition for a K-8, science-focused school didn't meet its standards.
Still, parents and charter advocates -- and even board member Alice Spearman -- have argued that the board should not have considered the fiscal impact of the conversion.
"I think it was pretty clear that the decision was made based on fiscal considerations," said Kate Nicol, of the Oakland Charter School Collaborative.
While no course of action had been decided, she said, "It's a cause for grave concern when there's flagrant disregard for the law."
Many a tear was shed during the meeting, and not just from parents. Board member Jumoke Hinton-Hodge -- who nevertheless voted against the charter -- became choked up as she expressed her frustrations with how families were treated in the post-closure transition process.
Spearman, who often votes against charters, took the side of the Lazear families.
"This community has fought and dug and scraped and carried on for over 20 years to maintain that little piece of dirt next to the freeway, next to the gas station. I don't know why," she said. "But that's how that community is."
Olga Gonzalez, who has three children at Lazear and a fourth about to start kindergarten, said the apparent rationale behind the decision stung. "Just seeing them change their minds over the numbers -- that's heartbreaking," she said.
Gonzalez said it was likely the parents would appeal the decision to the county board of education.
"We don't ever take 'no's,' " she said. "We'll keep going."

PORTLAND, Ore. — Gov. John Kitzhaber plans to announce changes to Oregon's troubled health insurance exchange, which is running far behind other states and has yet to enroll a single person.
Kitzhaber's office would describe the changes only as "additional resources, support and accountability to boost health care enrollment."
Oregon was an early leader in developing an exchange but was embarrassed when the online enrollment system wasn't ready to launch in October. The exchange, known as Cover Oregon, was forced to use a fallback option — the state has hired or reassigned 400 workers to process applications by hand.
State officials say Cover Oregon's online enrollment should work for individuals by mid-December, but not in time for people to get coverage that begins on Jan. 1.

|Doc Rivers explains why losing Avery Bradley really hurts against the Sixers
|05.25.12 at 1:28 pm ET
WALTHAM — Celtics coach Doc Rivers announced at Friday morning's practice that Avery Bradley had surgery Friday on his ailing left shoulder and is out for the playoffs.
"Avery Bradley is having surgery today so he's out for the playoffs," Rivers said. "That's that. When a player goes down, that's disappointing, and especially with what Avery has given us this year. His growth this year has been terrific and it's been great. He's become a very valuable piece to our basketball team. His ability to guard the best [opposing] guard at [point or shooting guard] has really taken so much pressure off Rondo, in particular. And not having him means that Rondo now has to go back to that role and run the team, and that's hard, that's hard to do, unfortunately and especially against the team we're playing that has two guards that attack.
"Rondo doesn't have a lot of breaks. But that's the way it is. We've been a team all year when stuff happens, you deal with it and you just move forward. That's who we've been and that's who we're going to have to be [Saturday]."
Then Rivers explained exactly why the Celtics need to fall back on their great defensive principles to get through Game 7 without Bradley, their third straight without their best on-ball defender. The Sixers have a group of athletic guards who attack the basket, and did so at will in Game 6. Evan Turner, Jrue Holiday and Lou Williams all took advantage of a weakened Ray Allen in drives to the basket.
"We're great defensive team," Rivers said. "What Avery did was he allowed us to be a great defensive team and put an individual on one guy and say, 'Go shut him down.' We don't have that anymore so we have to go back to being just a great defensive team."
Bradley was diagnosed with a sore rotator cuff during the first round series with the Hawks and attempted to play with pain. But early in the third quarter of Game 4 last Friday in Philadelphia, his shoulder popped out of place. He missed Games 5 and 6 before the decision was made to have surgery on Friday.
Bradley, in his second season out of Texas, started 10 games in the playoffs and 28 in the regular season, taking over the starting job from Ray Allen for the final 13 games of the regular season. He average 7.6 points a game in the regular season and quickly won respect around the league as one of the best on-ball defenders in the NBA.
|Tom Thibodeau on D&C: Celtics are winning because of confidence, intensity
|05.23.12 at 10:29 am ET
Appearing on Dennis & Callahan on Wednesday morning, Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau said the Celtics are in good position to record another finals appearance thanks to an intensity that is helping defensive pressure. He also said health, confidence, intensity, Doc Rivers and Rajon Rondo have been contributing to Boston's success.
"Right at the start of the game you could see the intensity in the Celtics and I thought they were so aggressive and I think that's part of their understanding of how important that game was," said Thibodeau, a former Celtics assistant. "And you know the one thing, the one thing that they've done well, they've gotten into the Sixers pretty well. The Sixers, during the course of the season, rarely turned the ball over and [the Celtics have] been able to force turnovers against them and they've also kept their own turnovers now, which I think is a huge plus for them.
"I think the intensity of the defense dictates a lot. And if you can get some easy baskets off your defense than that can allow you to go on a quick run."
Thibodeau also said confidence has been a large factor in Boston's success this postseason.
"You have two teams that are extremely well-balanced, basically slugging it out, and I think the Celtics right now are playing with a lot of confidence," he said.
Confidence and intensity may be two of the biggest assets the Celtics have at the moment, but Thibodeau added staying healthy is the biggest key.
"Well, the Celtics have everything that you need," Thibodeau said. "The biggest thing is going to be health, and you guys already hit on that. How healthy can they be? That goes for everybody, and things can change quickly."
|Mike Gorman on D&C: 'I've never been around a more unpredictable team'
|05.22.12 at 10:20 am ET
Longtime Celtics broadcaster Mike Gorman joined the Dennis & Callahan show Tuesday morning to discuss the latest on the Celtics in the wake of their Game 5 victory over the 76ers Monday night.
The personality of the Celtics has been a hot topic of discussion this postseason — mainly their inconsistency. Gorman has been left perplexed and couldn't offer a concrete answer to the team's unpredictability.
"I've never been around a more unpredictable team. I have no idea what they're going to do from one quarter to another let alone what they're going to do from one game to another," Gorman said, adding: "In the 30-plus years that I've been [broadcasting], I'm as perplexed by this team as I've been by any in terms of how I think they're going to play.
"They could go into Philly tomorrow night and win by 18 or lose by 18, and neither one would surprise me."
One game after a Game 4 collapse in which they blew an 18-point lead, the Celtics seemed to start out flat in the first half before kicking into gear in the second half and ultimately blowing out the 76ers behind a standout performance from Brandon Bass.
"The Celtics were flat last night, I don't there's any question about that," Gorman said. "I sent a text to Doc [Rivers] when I was driving home last night saying, 'I don't know what the hell you said at halftime, but you have to save that.' And he sent me back, 'I'm not sure what I said either, but it worked.'
"That's been a problem with this team all year long and will continue to be a problem. They're capable of beating anybody or losing to anybody on a given night."
Brandon Bass wasn't the only one coming into Game 5 who might have wondered where all his playing time went.
Greg Stiemsma was lost on the Celtics bench, while Ryan Hollins was spelling Kevin Garnett off the bench. Stiemsma was a DNP-Coach's Decision on Friday night. He has eight, 11 and four minutes respectively in the first three games before a goose egg in Game 4.
But on Monday, maybe it was just as simple as Doc Rivers wanting to change the atmosphere as Stiemsma – not Hollins – came in for Garnett in the first quarter and the Sixers leading, 12-11.
So often in the series, and in the playoffs, when Garnett has come off the floor, the Celtics have struggled. But this time, while not pouring in 27 points like Bass did, Stiemsma was crucial in stabilizing the struggling Celtics bench, which lost Ray Allen to the starting lineup. Stiemsma came in with 5:46 left in the first and immediately paid dividends.
He didn't register a block until 1:23 left in the quarter. It was actually his motion off the ball and rolls to the basket that made a difference. Imagine that – Stiemsma making offensive moves and Paul Pierce and Rajon Rondo looking for him on cuts to the basket. In his first two minutes, Stiemsma hit a lay-up off a screen-and-roll from Pierce. He dunked on a baseline cut to the basket on a pass from Rondo and he connected on a jumper from 14 feet on a feed from Rondo.
'Tonight was another opportunity, its been like that the whole season," Stiemsma said. "For the most part I think I've taken advantage of it and tonight was just another one of those nights where got some looks early, got myself going and I was just happy we won at the end.'
"I just kind of went with the flow of the game, how it was going, if I missed my defense couple times early when we got those buckets, a layup and a dunk, it really slows the game down, really makes you feel a lot more comfortable.'
Stiemsma didn't do much in the second half. He didn't need to as Bass took a spear to the heart of the 76ers and the Celtics carved out a 101-85 win in Game 5. But it was Stiemsma who gave the Celtics some life early on when the Sixers were looking and hoping to pull away for their second straight win in Boston.
How good was Stiemsma? He made all five shots he attempted and finished with 10 points, three blocks and two rebounds in 14 minutes.
'Its playoff time so as long as we're winning I'm happy," Stiemsma said. "It's tough to see us struggle, but at the same time I don't feel like I was playing the same way I was at the end of the year, either. So it felt good to get out there and feel comfortable again.'
|Doc Rivers: 'We don't think old'
|05.18.12 at 7:01 pm ET
PHILADELPHIA — Age is an attitude. And with these Celtics it's a mindset that has served them incredibly well since they started 15-17.
Doc Rivers knew that, bad record or not, he would have to manage off days and game days much differently and more aggressively in terms of rest than he had in the past.
It paid off in a 24-10 finish to the season and a six-game win over the younger Hawks in the first round. They headed into Game 4 Friday with a 2-1 lead over the younger and more athletic Sixers. What's the key?
"We don't think old," Rivers said in the hours leading up to Game 4. "We are what we are. We do know that. The rest is important for us but I think the rest is important for everybody. I don't think it matters what age you are. Athletes require recovery. We understand that. We like to call it experience."
Rivers said he's been more aggressive in giving the team days off, like Thursday, the only off-day between Games 3 and 4.
"It forces you to," Rivers said. "If we were younger, maybe we would do more. I don't know if it helps you but it forces you to do things at times you wouldn't do. We definitely take more days off this year probably than we ever have. I think the schedule and who we are has forced that action. Fortunately, most of the time, we have the common sense to do it.
"When we don't practice guys still work on their games. We didn't do anything [Thursday] but Kevin was over here shooting. Especially veterans, more than young guys, understand what they need to do to keep them in rhythm. I think young guys, days off are bad because I don't think they don't get that. I don't think they understand. They think a day off is a day off. They don't understand what what gets them to the next day or the next game."
But Rivers doesn't have that same concern with guys like Paul Pierce, Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett.
"A lot of veteran guys, if they need a day off, they take it off," Rivers said. "Ray rarely takes a day off. He's running somewhere, down the street, riding a bike. Paul was on the treadmill yesterday at the hotel. But they have the experience and that's an advantage for them."
|Kevin Garnett and Celtics look to impose their will
|at 8:49 am ET
We didn't go to him. It's plain and simple. My thought: we never established the post. I thought the second unit again established the post in the one stretch in the fourth quarter. – Doc Rivers on Kevin Garnett after Game 2 loss to Sixers.
PHILADELPHIA — When Doc Rivers was asked about Kevin Garnett not getting enough shots in the fourth quarter of Game 2, Rivers sent out of his classic subliminal messages to his team.
Impose your will.
Garnett, Paul Pierce and Rajon Rondo all got the message loud and clear and routed the Sixers, 107-91, in Game 3. But to Garnett, who had 27 points and 13 rebounds, the key to success was about more than just wanting it more.
"It's partially that, exerting your will over a team is big," Garnett said. "But cutting down on mistakes, sticking to game plan, not making too many changes. Cutting down on mental mistakes is really what makes a series. The team that keeps turnovers down, most aggressive, imposes their will all those things factor. Every time I've been in a tough series, those things have been major factors. We just have to continue what we did in [Game 3], not only impose our will, stay defensively sound and like Paul said, take that first punch and be able to return it."
Pierce and Garnett stood outside their team hotel on Thursday and were again asked if there's the feeling that this is the final chance for the team to make a championship run.
"I think we realized that from Day 1 when we came in for preseason, training camp," Pierce said. "I think the last couple of years we've been feeling like that. The [motivation] is trying to win another championship, regardless is this is going to be our last time together. KG in the last year of his contract, Ray in the last year of his contract, trade speculation that's been going on to [Danny Ainge] talking about rebuilding. There's definitely a renewed sense of urgency."
"What he said," Garnett joked when asked to offer additional comment. "The focus is the playoffs. I really haven't given it much thought, to be honest. But I'm definitely aware of it. You give it some type of thought but at this point right now, it's the playoffs."
|Irish Coffee: The day a nobody stopped Kevin Garnett
|05.15.12 at 1:35 pm ET
Kevin Garnett was coming off a two-game stretch in which he totaled 57 points on 39 shots, 25 rebounds and eight blocks while putting the finishing touches on the Hawks and painting a new masterpiece agains the 76ers, so why did the Celtics wait until it was too late to get their center involved again?
"Maybe we weren't a smart team or a well-coached team, because that was obviously the game plan to go there," Celtics coach Doc Rivers said Tuesday on WEEI's Dennis & Callahan Morning Show. "We were in transition a lot and never really got into our sets. That happens in games. You see it all the time, but it just took too long to get into it. It took too long to establish it. We used timeouts to get into it — we just never did."
Garnett made his first two shots, an 11-footer 17 seconds in and a 16-footer 2:48 into the first quarter, capping the C's 5-for-5 shooting stretch that gave them an 11-3 start. And they turned to him once over the next 26:54.
"KG's an unselfish player," said Celtics point guard Rajon Rondo, who recorded 13 assists, but only two to Garnett — including one on the meaningless 3-pointer at the buzzer that resulted in the 82-81 final score. "He could've taken a lot more shots than he did, but he passed up his shots to get the assist or made the hockey pass. In the fourth quarter, over the stretch, when KG had it going, we just kept feeding him."
As if flipping a switch, the Celtics leaned on Garnett in the fourth quarter. He made 5-of-7 shots and scored 11 of his 15 points, grabbing four rebounds and dishing out two assists, while playing the final 12 minutes. In the span of a minute midway through the quarter, he made an 18-foot jumper to cut the deficit to two on one end; then defended Jrue Holiday, altered a Louis Williams shot and grabbed the rebound on the other; and tied the game 65-65 on a turnaround in the lane back on the offensive end. In other words, he was everywhere.
"I don't call the plays," said Garnett. "Doc and Rondo are trying to get guys into a rhythm, trying to keep the offense flowing. That's what it is. Whatever he asked me to do, that's what I'm going to do."

The Nokia Lumia 710 is the talented all-rounder of the Lumia range, providing high-end Windows Phone thrills at an affordable price. We've been living with the Nokia Lumia 710 for the past few months now, and have written a fair amount on its unique charms. If you want a comprehensive view of the phone, check out our review round-up.
Nokia Maps vs Bing Maps: What's the best way to get around on your Nokia Lumia 710?
Following the Nokia Lumia 800 was never going to be an easy task, but the Nokia Lumia 710 managed the feat by offering just enough unique features and quirks while retaining the same Windows Phone 7.5 OS powered by the same fast 1.4GHz processor.
Then of course there's the sharp 3.7-inch LCD display and the 5-megapixel camera. Did we mention you can customise the Lumia 710 with interchangeable battery covers? Well, you can. Here's a full view of what the Nokia Lumia 710 has to offer.
Nokia Lumia 710 Unboxing hands-on
The Nokia Lumia 710 package is what we've come to expect from a modern Nokia phone – slick, compact and fully featured. You get the lovely Nokia Lumia 710, of course, but you also get things like a decent set of in-ear buds and a spare battery cover. Not just a spare battery cover, in fact, but one that's a different colour to the default one, so you can add a bit of customisation to your phone.
Check out our full Nokia Lumia 710 Unboxing Review
Nokia Lumia 710 Hardware hands-on
The Nokia Lumia 710 is a pretty slender piece of kit when all's told, and it sits much lighter in the hand than the Nokia Lumia 800. It's got a pleasingly tactile hardware button strip along the bottom, and a power button that's super-easy to feel out without looking. Performance, as you'd expect from that 1.4GHz processor, is swift to say the least, and the 3.7-inch display is extremely crisp and bright.

Nokia Lumia 710 Build Quality Review
While we're on the subject of hardware, let's consider the Nokia Lumia 710's build quality. Despite being build like a traditional smartphone, with a removable battery and a plastic battery cover, the Lumia 710 feels remarkably solid. There isn't a hint of creak or flex to it. What's more, the way you peel off the battery cover is easy without making it feel insecure.
Check out our full Nokia Lumia 710 Build Quality Review
Nokia Lumia 710 Software hands-on
Of course, the most solid hardware in the world means nothing if software that runs on it is lousy. As we all know by now, though, the Nokia Lumia 710's Windows Phone 7.5 OS is anything but. In fact, it's the most advanced smartphone OS we've ever used, integrating core functions like search, social networking and messaging so that they all feel like one big service rather than lots of separate ones.
Check out our full Nokia Lumia 710 Software Review
Nokia Lumia 710 Camera hands-on
Nokia hasn't been able to squeeze in the Nokia Lumia 800's 8-megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss lens, but the Nokia Lumia 710's 5-megapixel snapper is still a creditable effort. It can still manage 720p HD video recording, and the response time from sleep to snap is as impressive as ever. The of course there's Windows Phone's brilliant handling of photos, from sharing them with others to storing them in the cloud via SkyDrive.

I picked this book randomly off the shelf of my library when I was in middle school because I was bored, I'm glad I read it because it opened up a new world of wonders to read... I now love the writings of Amelia Atwater-Rhodes, and have read most of her books...If you love fiction, science-fiction, or fantasy this is a must read!!!

Out of the 5 books that Amelia has published, my all-time favorite is "Demon in my View". Whenever I had to stop reading I thought about what was going to happen next all day long. She is an incredible author and she has a gifted talent. Her books suck me in so that I feel as If I am there right beside the characters. Even after I read these books I still had that suspenseful feeling. I can't wait till she comes out with a new book!!!

I loved this book and the others, In The Forest Of The Night, and Shaddered Mirrors, they were packed full of adventure and a new world. Although I wouldn't recommend Minight Predator, it's a great book still, but it doesn't compare to the others.

Just thought I'd add to the chorus that the YouTube app is now forgetting my login each time. Started about Oct 2 or 3. It had kept me logged in for many months before which was great. Entering it each time is so painful, that the YouTube app is no longer useful.

My Favorite Recipes of 2012
Posted By Nicole On December 31, 2012 @ 5:22 pm In Recommendations | 25 Comments
I decided to look back through my blog posts of 2012 and pull together a few standout recipes that I will definitely be making again and again. First up is this somewhat unusual spring appetizer that I made with some of our delicious local strawberries. I can't wait til next spring when I'll be able to make this Strawberry Bruschetta with Balsamic Vinegar and Basil again.
This Creamy Coleslaw with Bacon and Blue Cheese has been a favorite for years and I'm really glad that I finally shared the recipe with you this year. If you've never stirred crumbled blue cheese and bacon into a creamy coleslaw, you have really been missing out!
I think these Cranberry, White Chocolate, and Pecan Cookies are seriously the best cookies I've made in years. I haven't stopped thinking about them and currently have all the ingredients on hand so I can make another batch to take to my grandparents.
Last, but certainly not least, are these Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars with Brown Sugar Shortbread Crust. This is by far my favorite recipe of the year and I've already made them a few times. My grandmother actually requested that I make these instead of a traditional pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving and no one seemed to notice the missing pie. They are easy to make and absolutely delicious.
Happy new year, everyone. I look forward to sharing lots more recipes once I get moved into my brand new kitchen next year!

The design of a 100,000 sq m 'first of its kind' sports facility for women in Malmo, Sweden has been awarded to the collaborative team led by BIG with AKT, Tyréns and Transsolar.
Composed as a village, similar to that of Olympic villages seen throughout the world, the World Village of Women Sports (WVOWS) seeks to create a natural gathering place for the research, education and training in all areas connected to the development of women's sports. BIG's design, dubbed The Crown Princess and led by senior architect Nanna Gyldholm Moller, was chosen from five entries for the €200million project.
Located in the centre of Malmo, the design was chosen as a new landmark for the city. "BIGs design places great emphasis on architecture tailored to women with an unconstrained atmosphere and a feeling of well-being," said jury member Mats Jacobson. "The architects see the WVOWS as a town within a town rather than just a sports complex. The decisive factor has been the holistic approach and the overall impression of the design – the ability to interact with the neighborhood and environment, and creating attractive housing and functions at the same time."
In producing designs the architects were tasked with facilitating all facets of sports production, from a sport medicine center, to product development in areas such as nutrition, to training facilities and private accommodation. The project is seen as ground-breaking in offering women the same opportunities to develop in sports as men. In achieving this BIG's design is specifically tailored to suit women:
"Considering the special requirements of women of all cultures and all ages, special attention has been given, to provide the sports village with a feeling of intimacy and well being often lacking in the more masculine industrial-style sports complexes that are more like factories for physical exercise, than temples for body and mind," said Bjarke Ingels, Partner-In-Charge at BIG.
The distinctive design features sloping roofscapes and alternating building volumes which provide the complex with the varying identity of a small village thus reducing its scale to the adjacent neighbourhood. Within the 'Crown' spaces are separated by varying zonal levels but remain open and welcoming. The central hall, large enough to accommodate professional football matches as well as concerts, conferences, exhibitions and flea markets, is presented as an open space visible from the surrounding streets. The first stage of construction is due for completion in 2012.
"From the main football field at its heart, to the gyms and auditoria, from the handball halls of the university to the laboratories of the health facility, it is an entire village committed to sport," said Project Leader, Nanna Gyldholm Moller.

What the Heck Could They Name a Merged Nasdaq-NYSE?
Deal Journal has written about the delicate ritual underway to name the über-exchange resulting from the merger of NYSE Euronext and the Deutsche Börse.
But transatlantic nationalism and political meddling ain't got nothing on the complications for naming a potential spoiler deal for the Deutsche Börse deal. If a tag team of Nasdaq OMX Group and IntercontinentalExchange manage to clinch a merger, how does this moniker sound: "NASDAQOMXICENYSEEuronext."
Or how about the BigBoarDAQ? The NasEuroMX? NYSE/ICE (pronounced "Nicey-Icy)?
Yeah, it makes "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" seem downright euphonic by comparison.
Sure, we're being silly. Nasdaq and ICE have bigger worries than names as they try to stitch together a crazy three-headed deal. But as NYSE and Deutsche Borse are finding out, it's tough to strip out any corporate monikers in a merged company. Somebody, or some regulator or law maker, will complain.
The name game in part is a consequence of global mega mergers in recent years.
The once-cleanly named Nasdaq — originally an acronym for the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations — tacked on the "OMX" with the 2008 purchase of the Nordic and Baltic exchange operator OMX AB. The New York Stock Exchange also added the "Euronext" in the Big Board's own efforts to beef up.
Now that the game of exchange musical chairs is starting up again, no one wants to be left without a seat — or in this case, without their corporate logo on a merged company.
So Deal Journal readers, help us out: What should they name the company if Nasdaq OMX and ICE manage to grab NYSE Euronext? (Heck, if the NYSE and Deutsche Börse are tapping the wisdom of the masses for their proposed corporate name, why can't we?)

Teaching Hints for Editing Usage and Mechanics
Editing the work of others is the major focus of the Language Arts Writing Test Part I. However, editing is also an important part of the process of writing an essay. When students first write down their ideas, they should be more concerned about the thoughts and words or vocabulary that they are using than about grammar and punctuation. Teach students to take a close look at grammar only after they have generated and revised a full draft.
What are some good techniques for teaching editing skills in the GED classroom?

Which sex is the worst about washing up? Why is it so important? We've got the dirty truth on how and when to wash your hands.
Reticulocyte Count
What Affects the Test
Reasons you may not be able to have the test or why the results may not be helpful include:
- Taking certain medicines. Medicines that affect the results include ones used for Parkinson's disease, rheumatoid arthritis, fevers, malaria, and cancer chemotherapy.
- Getting radiation therapy.
- Taking sulfonamide antibiotics (such as Septra).
- Being pregnant.
- Having a recent blood transfusion.
What To Think About
- In anemia, the reticulocyte count will be abnormal because the levels of red blood cells and hemoglobin are low. Also, reticulocytes make up a higher percentage of the blood count in anemia, which makes the reticulocyte count falsely high. For this reason, a doctor will check the reticulocyte count along with the reticulocyte index (RI) when checking for anemia. The RI is a measurement for reticulocytes when anemia is present.
- A reticulocyte count may help a doctor choose other tests that need to be done to diagnose a specific type of anemia or other disease. A low reticulocyte count may mean a need for a bone marrow biopsy. This can tell if there is a problem with how new reticulocytes are made by the bone marrow. To learn more, see the topic Bone Marrow Aspiration and Biopsy.

text: Hello again everyone (apologises if you are getting sick of me by now :/) So just wanted to check if this is normal? I near the ends of week 3 in cruise phase I am only half a pound of a 1 stone loss which is excellent and its taken the same amount of time when I did dukan last time. However I was stalling for about 8 days and stayed at the same weight but this week alone I have lost 4 and a half pounds and its not even the end of the week yet is that correct? I'm not complaining but from losing nothing to this massive loss I am just baffled. Has anyone else found this? The only thing I have changed in my diet is I have added goji berries to my porridge in a morning that's it, surely they can't have boosted my system that much? Lol Any comments appreciated Many Thanks x

In view of the continued escalation of the banking crisis in Spain (Bankia was rescued last weekend with EUR 19 billion of government funds, the head of the Spanish central bank has (been) retired, in April alone deposits of EUR 31 billion were withdrawn from Spanish banks, according to Bloomberg, EUR 184 billion of problem loans (especially to property developers) still remain on the books of Spanish banks, etc.), it is understandable that investors are avoiding Spanish (government) bonds. It is therefore logical that yields on Spanish government debt are rising, both in absolute terms and also relative to the supposed stable core countries of Europe:
10-year Spanish government bond yield over the past five years
Differential from 10-year German government bond
(Source : Bloomberg)
However, in the markets, there appears to have been hardly any direct speculation against Spain. The risk of the ECB deciding over night to purchase massive amounts of Spanish government bonds is just too high. After all, it has done this before.
Although this would certainly lead to an increase in prices in the short-term, market intervention by the ECB would fundamentally be bad news for the owners of Spanish government bonds. Since – as has already happened with Greece – the ECB would be treated as a preferential creditor, non-governmental investors would receive less in a potential debt restructuring. ECB intervention in the market is therefore possibly another reason for selling Spanish government bonds.
Prior to any debt restructuring however, Spain would clearly first have to accept the EU rescue package. But for now, the politicians are (still) categorically ruling this out. Having said that, the same also happened in Greece, Portugal and Ireland until shortly beforehand. These countries actually accepted the rescue package when their respective 10-year government bond yields exceeded 7%. On Friday, the yield on 10-year Spanish bonds already exceeded 6.5% p.a. Things can therefore happen quickly.
If a country accepts the rescue package, this does not necessarily mean that it will restructure its debts (after all, Portugal and Ireland accepted the rescue package some time ago and have not restructured their debts). The example of Greece shows that whether or not this actually happens becomes a purely political decision and is therefore speculative. In the event, international institutions receive preferential treatment and it will be very painful for private investors.
An investment in Spanish government bonds therefore amounts to speculation that Spain manages to pull through either on its own, or with the rescue package but without debt restructuring, until the bond is repaid. As the acceptance of a rescue package, debt restructuring, and particularly the timing of these events are purely political decisions, no economic models exist for measuring this risk. I therefore wish every investor in Spanish government bonds the best of luck with timing!
Oh well, some commentators believe that Spain's acceptance of the rescue package would be the litmus test for European institutions. I don't share this opinion: Even though at approx. EUR 750 billion the debt of the fourth largest economy of the eurozone is about three times as large as the total debt of the three countries that have already accepted the rescue package, the ESM, or rather the EFSF, was specifically designed to also include Spain. As long as the crisis does not spread to another large economy (e.g. Italy), the rescue mechanism should be sufficient.
Germany set to borrow for free (www.FT.com 22/5/2012)
The immense problems in Europe beg the question how Germany, which may have to risk a lot of money as the saviour of the eurozone, can sell almost EUR 5 billion of two-year Federal treasury notes without having to pay any interest. During the week there were even buyers who purchased this bond with a negative yield. Why would anyone purchase a bond guaranteeing less money at maturity than was paid for it?
The answer is that the purchase of a German government bond, even with a negative yield, is an insurance against the break-up of the euro. A German government bond, which is later converted into "new Deutschmarks", would, as a result of the currency effect, virtually increase in value overnight by 40-50% compared to currencies in the peripheral countries. An investor who considers the break-up of the eurozone a possibility can therefore use the purchase of Federal government bonds to hedge against this risk. If I assess the probability of a break-up at 5% and the resulting loss in value of my investment portfolio (Southern European countries) compared to German government bonds at 50%, then I can insure myself with an investment of 2.5% in German government bonds. Even if the yield expectation for this 2.5% is negative, this is cheap insurance.
The situation in Switzerland is similar. There for example, during the past week, almost CHF 750 million of Federal 3-month treasury notes with a negative yield of -0.2% p.a. were sold. Is this the price of insurance against Switzerland severing its link to the euro?
Yes, because if Switzerland were to give up this link, then the CHF would certainly rise markedly in value over night.
No, since it would actually suffice to physically buy CHF or just to hold CHF in a bank account. The negative yield therefore reflects the difference in quality between a bank and the Swiss state.
Diversify in Quality
What action should therefore be taken today by an investor wanting to invest in bonds? An investment in crisis country government bonds is fundamentally a speculative investment, regardless of whether or not there is a break-up of the eurozone.
It makes little sense for an investor outside of the eurozone to invest in EUR bonds. The currency will remain under pressure until it finally becomes clear what is going to happen to the euro. Other investments, for example keenly priced shares in good quality companies, should protect this group of investors against a falling EUR. Following the same logic, it is advisable for euro investors to diversify broadly across foreign currencies. Part of the investment should definitely be in USD as the traditional safe-haven currency, even though the economic situation in the USA is not any better than in Europe.
An investor living and residing in the eurozone whose income and expenditure is in EUR should however not hold all of his investments outside of his reference currency; the currency market is inherently too volatile for this. Bonds are however not a viable and/or secure investment for such EUR investments. A "north-euro" investor would be better to invest his money directly in one or more "north-euro" banks. He would need to ensure that these banks don't hold significant investments in "the South". If he cannot find such a bank or does not trust "the banks", then the German government bond with a virtually 0% yield remains the least risky investment for him. In the main, this principle is also valid for "south-euro" investors. Such an investor must however be aware that a break-up of the euro would also result in the introduction of capital controls. To allow him to remain liquid in this instance, he must continue to hold some of his investments in his home country.
Some commentators think, by the way, that corporate bonds are more secure than government bonds. This is correct in so far that, on the one hand, the income of companies, especially if they are of good quality and established globally, generally exceeds outgoings (which at the present time cannot be said for any budget of a eurozone state); on the other hand, they can use the income to repay their debts. In addition, the yield they pay is slightly higher than that of low-risk government bonds. There again, it is totally unclear which new currencies the bonds of private issuers would be denominated in if there were to be a break-up of the euro. In my opinion, at 1.22% p.a. for example for Royal Dutch's five year bond, this denomination risk and the normal business risk is not adequately rewarded, even more so when compared to the money market rates of approx. 1% p.a. offered by most solid banks.
Since bonds are therefore generally less attractive, the only remaining option, as far as traditional cash investments are concerned, is shares. And, as a matter of fact, especially after the corrections of the last few days, there is a glimmer of hope here for investors. Please refer to Guy's article, published a few weeks ago, for further details. In this connection I would, especially for income-oriented investors, like to emphasise high dividends. Even during times of crisis, when share prices of many companies fell heavily (and have fallen currently), it is amazing how stable the dividend distributions have been before, during and after these times of crisis, and how stable they continue to be. If you can tolerate these price fluctuations, dividend-carrying investments are very attractive.
In conclusion, I hope you can remain level-headed when considering your investments and that you will not rush inito buying or selling without due consideration and reflection.

We present a method for extracting feature curves called crest lines from a triangulated surface. Then, we calculate the geodesic Voronoi diagram of crest lines to segment the surface into several regions. Afterward, barycentric surface flattening using theory from graph embeddings is implemented and, using the Geodesic Voronoi diagram, we develop a faster surface flattening algorithm.

It may be a party of high-schoolers, or even very, very intoxicated adults. BYC is a great place for waterskiers and wakeboarders alike. IT is often a popular hangout during hurricanes/Noreasters. Times of Intrest: The infamous "Opening Weekend" is one that is seldom remebered (see beer). "Week on the Island," a week where everyone stays on their respictve vessels and parties day and night to their hearts content. "4th of July Weekend" is also popular. Social Groups are split up by 4 categories: A pier, B pier, C pier, and D pier. C pier being the "coolest" of them all. BYC is not only a club, it is a way of life for those who are there.

Welcome to my second review on Eurobricks! On my way to review every old Pirates set that I buy new (full story on my 6247 - Bounty Boat review), this time I've chosen one of the few classic sets with our beloved bluecoats : the Lagoon Lock-Up! Time to discover how a once peaceful inn has become a fortified place!
Product Details
Set No: 6267
Set Name: Lagoon Lock-Up (USA) - Soldiers' Tavern (UK) - La taverne des soldats (France) - Hafenschänke (Germany) - Zeerovers-landingsplaats (Netherlands)
Theme: Pirates
Released: 1991-1993
Minifigures: 5
Pieces: 187
Purchase Price: $80 new on Bricklink
As usual with older sets, we get a nice picture of the set on a pre-rendered background. Luckily I got the rare yellow-box version from the very early sets (1989 to 1991), instead of the common purple box. I really love the overall colors, it has a fantastic tropical appeal, and it's just screaming "open my lid!".
Here we have 4 (!) alternate models, although they're quite similar to each other. I'll cover them in the next chapter.
An alternate setup of the main model.
Let's all cry together. Damn, where did I park my DeLorean?
Back of the lid
Here we have a good story to start the adventure, among nice shots of the model. I wish TLG still made those lids, and be willing to pay a few more bucks for them. I remember looking under every lid in stores as a child, full of dreams. For those who want to read the story, let's have a closer look :
Quite comprehensive, isn't it? It's funny to see that eventually, the pirates aren't really the bad guys, since they're just after their ancestors' gold.
Under the lid
THIS is the reason I love those lids! A fantastic overview of what you get, and we can hear a loud scream "BUY ME!". The round cuts also add a nice touch, we clearly see that TLG wasn't trying to limit the costs back in those days.
~Alternate models~
Alternate model 1
Alternate model 2
Alternate model 3
Alternate model 4
Nothing to comment, the pictures speak for themselves. As I said earlier, they're quite similar. I still like how they put the pirates in water by removing the legs in the third one, and the arch that hold the rowboat in the fourth.
~Box opening~
Yo-ho-ho! Every remaining MISB Lagoon Lock-Up now has gone up in value!
Inside the box
One plastic tray, four bags and a few loose plates, blue baseplate and the jail door. They have stayed in this box for 21 years, time to let them breathe a little!
Promotional catalog
A small catalog promoting 1991 sets.
Random (really?) catalog page
I could look at those diorama for hours and hours, not you? By the way, can someone tell me what is redbeard doing with the maiden at the Black Seas Barracuda's stern ?
Exactly the same picture as the box, or is it...? Time for a little "spot the difference" game!
Did you spot it? The cannon is the american non-shooting version on the box, and the european version on the instructions. Do you know any other set that have american version on the cover? As far as I know, it's also the case for 6273 - Rock Island Refuge. I first thought of some kind of photo retouching, but looking closer I saw that the american version cannon has been pushed a very little to the left (we see more red at the left of the white brick underneath). Also, every other pictures has this difference (even alternate models). TLG sure did have an eye for detail!
Back of the instructions
Two already-seen alternate models, and a nice portrait of captain redbeard.
Random instructions page
No part callout, and a nice amount of brick put each step. Old-styled instructions, nothing to add!
~Parts and minifigures~
Part layout
First, I'll NEVER do that again . A lot of white parts, and overall a nice assortment of colors. Interesting parts are the rare 6 * 24 black plate (only found in this set), the large Bluecoat flag, brown doors, and the cloth sail (which make its very first appearance, with a blue alternative on 6273 - Rock Island Refuge). The cannon, as said above, is the non-shooting version, which is much better in my humble opinion, since I don't play with Lego and this one looks way better that the "flat" shooting one. As a kid though I'm glad I got the shooting ones! There is no additional part.
Good old times, 5 minifigs for a ~150 parts set. Okay, we have another captain redbeard, which earn the reward for being the "greatest most distributed minifig ever", but three bluecoats ! Who would say no to three bluecoats? We also get an almost-exclusive pirate (in this assembly, it also appears in 6255 Pirates Comic), named Bo'Sun Will. Overall, as a standalone, this is a fantastic selection for playing.
~The build~
Building the small ship
Here we can see the structure that will hold the sail. It's placed on a turntable so it can face any direction.
Plenty of room for our beloved captain! If there is no wind, he still has two oars to go wherever he wants! I love the simple yet effective design, which will be reused many times in upcoming waves with color variation. Just one thing : HOW can redbeard hold his cutlass with his hook?
After step 1
With the help of a bird-eye view instruction, we have placed the bricks that will hold the two large black plates. The yellow brick is supposed to be sand : this is where the palmtree will be placed.
After step 6
The four antennas will be at the back of the jail. Slowly the tavern is taking form with the two doors added. We cannot see it but there is a red panel inside which is supposed to be some sort of bar I think (pictures of it can be found under the finished model section).
After step 10
I just LOVE the sunblind. It's only made of four bricks, but this is what makes the set look fantastic. Without it I don't think it would look like a tavern. Next we only have to add the jail door, the roof and it's finished, so let's go.
~The finished model~
Overall view
An old tavern fortified to help battle against pirates. That's what they say, that's what we see, that's what we get. I can see only one little design flaw, it lacks a ladder to access the roof. Other than that it's an absolute winner on everything : colors, minifigs, sturdiness, playability. No wonder why this is one of the most appreciated set among the most appreciated Lego pirates wave. Just one thing : HOW can redbeard hold his pistol with his hook?
Bird-eye view
The cannon design is flawless, with amazing details. We got as usual six cannonballs and one additionnal musket.
Back view
Here we can see the "bar". Pretty simple is the least I can say... Look at how the four antennas are enclosed by an arch to close the jail : it looks perfect!
One more view
Imagine the set without that sunblind, it would really be lacking something don't you think? It still looks like a nice place to live in.
~Final thoughts~
Design: 10/10 - The pictures speak for themselves. Plus it's the one and only pirates/soldiers tavern you can get. How could they live without it?
Parts: 8/10 - Great colors, but a lot of common parts.
Minifigs: 10/10 - Okay, one more redbeard, but for building a story there couldn't have been a better selection.
Build: 6/10 - The jail design is good and the small ship makes its first appearance. No advanced technique is used.
Playability: 10/10 - Three good guys, two bad guys, a tavern, a jail, a boat, a cannon. Need I say more?
Alternate models: 4/10 - They are just small variations of the main model. I've seen much better alternate models among pirates sets!
Price: 10/10 - $24,99. If it still was in store, I'd buy all I could find. Nowadays we can easily find it for about $50, which is still a very fair price for such a great set.
Conclusion: 10/10 - A legend among bluecoats set, a beautiful design, a fantastic minifigs selection, top playability : this is simply what every Lego model should be.

by Nicole Lisson
– The Capitol Hill Times –
When I first found my apartment, I immediately fell in love with its old-world charm. Crown molding, original hardwood floors, and the black and white tile in the kitchen had me signing on the dotted line. It wasn't until after I moved in that I noticed there was no dishwasher. Five pounds of paper plates quickly fixed that problem.
Then came the holidays and my old fashioned oven, which I thought was so cute, wasn't so cute anymore. Sticky residue from the roast I cooked, beer spillage from the bread I baked and other unidentified substances got glued to the bottom, causing smoke to billow whenever you turned it on. No problem, I thought to myself. That's why you have the self-cleaning feature. As soon as the thought entered my mind, I was quickly disheartened to learn that ovens built in the 1960s do not, in fact, offer a self-cleaning feature. It was a blonde moment at my finest.
The morning of a dinner party, I had to scramble to find a solution or else my guests would have had to squint through a haze of smoke in order to eat their meal. Not exactly the kind of ambience I was going for. Baking soda and hours of elbow grease later, the sludge wouldn't come off. My marinated pot roast was placed back in the refrigerator and three large pizzas' were ordered.
Lucky for you, dear readers, if you have an oven that is older than your grandparents, I have just the solution. So roll up your sleeves and call me Mrs. Clean.
For Serious Spills
Sprinkle baking soda onto the bottom of a cool oven then spray it with water or vinegar. Allow to sit overnight, then wipe clean in the morning. Another option is to mix baking soda and water in a spray bottle, spray it all over the inside of your oven and then proceed to use your oven as needed. The heat makes the dirt flake off.
For Not So Serious Spills
Place some citrus peels (limes and lemons work best) in a shallow pan and cover them with water. Place them in the oven at 350 degrees F for about 20 to 25 minutes. Turn the oven off and allow it to cool. As soon as the oven is no longer hot, wipe away the grease with a sponge or rag.


text: Feeling pleased with myself so thought I would share this one. I didn't do very well with the microwave bread recipe as it came out sticky and pale, so thought I would have a go with a conventional loaf. Used a silicone loaf tin from waitrose, and cooked the mix in oven for about 30 mins at 160C. It's based on the muffin recipe that i use and makes rather yum small sandwiches. 7 tablespoon oatbran 3 tablespoon wheat bran 3 eggs and one egg white 3/4 teaspoon baking powder Pinch of salt 1/2 tub quark (about 125g or 2 tablespoons) Separate out yolks from whites. Beat whites separately. Put egg yolks and quark into dry ingredients and mix well. Then gently fold in stiff egg whites, pop into loaf tin and 30 mins later, one small loaf! Think it can be further tweaked, ie maybe one less whole egg and one more egg white for the cholesterol conscious, and possibly use all oatmeal, and you may need to vary depending on size of tin etc but I was really chuffed it worked! Need to wait for it to cool before attempting to slice and I used an electric knife to make it easy. It made 12 slices, each about 1cm thick, not counting the end pieces. So if you are in cruise, your entire oatbran allowance for the day would be 2 small sandwiches or 4 slices. Or you could have 2 slices of toast and a muffin.

hedgehog cookies
These cookies might be the best I've ever invented. I started in my kitchen just with the idea of wanting to mix hazelnut and chocolate, but without whole chunks of nuts which just get in the way of a good chewy cookie. This is what I came up with, and they are amazingly chewy, chocolately, and taste just like hazelnut truffles. And as usual they don't have refined sugar or white flour. Yes, it is possible, just follow along...
- 1 cup soft margarine (I use olive oil Becel) or butter, room temperature
- 1 1/2 cups turbinado cane sugar (turbinado is really fine grain cane sugar, though in the US they seem to mislabel large grain cane sugar as such which does not bake the same... so look for fine grain cane sugar)
- 3 tbsp molasses
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 cup whole hazelnuts, toasted & skins removed
- 2 cups whole grain pastry flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 4 tbsp cocoa powder (not dutch process, regular cocoa powder)
- 2 cups No Sugar Added Chocolate Chips
you will need:
- 4 cup liquid measuring cup
- wooden spoons
- food processor
- heavy bottomed frying pan
- cookie sheets
- parchment paper
- mixing bowl
- measuring cups & spoons
The first thing you'll want to do is let your margarine (or butter) reach room temperature. I always use olive oil margarine in baking, it's healthier & doesn't have all the nastiness that margarines of old did. To measure soft margarine (or peanut butter) you measure by using water displacement. If you've never done this before get a 4 cup liquid measuring cup and fill it with 2 cups of water. Add in the soft margarine a spoonful at a time, making sure it's completely submerged under the water. When the measurement has increased so the water is now reading "3 cups" you know that you've got 1 cup of margarine. Holding the margarine back with a spoon drain the water out thoroughly.
While your fat is reaching room temperature you'll need to toast your hazelnuts. This is one of the most finicky parts of making these delicious cookies. You want to toast the whole nuts to released the oils & flavours in them because later you're going to make them into a nut butter. Put the whole nuts, skins and all, in a dry, heavy bottomed frying pan over medium heat. You want to lay them out so that each nut is touching the pan. Keep a close eye on them and give the pan a toss every few minutes so that none of them burn. Continue to toast until the skins start to crack and peel off of each hazelnut.
Remove the hazelnuts to a plate lined with paper towel, they will be really hot so be careful. Give them a couple of minutes to cool, but while they are still warm rub them between to kitchen towels to get the skins to peel off. Sort through the nuts afterwards and using your fingers only remove any of the leftover skins.
Allow the hazelnuts to cool completely. Place the toasted and now skinless hazelnuts in a food processor. Pulse the food processor until the nuts start to turn into a butter. You'll need to scrape down the sides as you do this to ensure everything is really mixed in. When you've reached a nut-butter like consistency stop mixing.
By now your margarine or butter should have reached room temperature. Add your margarine, sugar & molasses into a mixing bowl and cream together. Next add in your 2 eggs and vanilla and mix until thoroughly combined.
Add in your hazelnut butter that you've made and mix completely. Next add in your whole grain pastry flour, baking soda, salt and cocoa powder. Stir carefully until it a cookie dough is formed. Add in your 2 cups of chocolate chips and stir once more to distribute them evenly.
Preheat your oven to 350F.
If you used butter instead of margarine, you might want to pop your batter in the fridge for about 20 minutes. The slight cooling of the batter will prevent the cookies from spreading out too much when you bake them which is often the effect of using butter in your cookies
Cover your cookie sheets with parchment paper (this keeps the cookies soft on the bottom and chewy). Using a spoon or a cookie baller, drop cookie batter onto the sheet about 2 inches apart.
Bake 12-15 minutes.
Makes about 48 cookies.

The Hinds County coroner said a man found dead inside a burning house likely died of smoke inhalation.
Firefighters found the body of Oscar Scott, 58, inside his home on Southaven Circle about 4:15 p.m. Saturday, authorities said.
When crews arrived at the scene they said flames could be seen shooting from the side of the home.

Police in Fryeburg said a traffic stop led to a drug seizure.
Officers said they stopped Frank Caparco, 69, of Arrowsic, on Bridgton Road Thursday afternoon for allegedly traveling 15 miles above the speed limit. After searching Caparco's car, police said they found more than 125 grams of marijuana.
"Second to only Interstate 95 in Kittery, Route 302 in Fryeburg remains one of the most traveled points of entry into the State of Maine," acting Chief Joshua Potvin said in a statement. "I commend the officers for their proactive traffic enforcement which resulted in the seizure of illegal drugs passing through our community."
Caparco is scheduled to appear in court on drug charges in October, police said.
