As Ohio school districts gear up for the state's new Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers testing, a system put in place to test for college and career readiness, many local administrators and educators are still uncertain about meeting requirements.
In January, Morgan Local Schools Superintendent Lori Snyder-Lowe wrote a letter to Gov. John Kasich expressing concern that the PARCC testing was all digital, leaving rural schools and students at a disadvantage when connectivity and access to electronic devices is limited.
Though some district administrators say they are simply trying to adapt as much as possible, others are concerned that the unfamiliarity with testing has left them unprepared, in addition to a lack of adequate technology needed to complete the testing efficiently. The testing will be used starting with the 2014-2015 school year.
It will track the progress of students from kindergarten through 12th grade, and will be implemented in the form of standardized assessments beginning in third grade and lasting until high school. The hope is also to make sure schools are maximizing their technological capabilities to prepare students for what they will face in jobs and college.
Tony Dunn, superintendent for Belpre City Schools, said his district is fortunate to have a good edge on technology, but the implementation of these tests is still concerning.
"We can support some of those changes better than other school districts in the surrounding area, simply because of our geographical location and the fact that we've had several people who have had the foresight and vision to utilize sources to stay very current with our technology," he said.
Fact Box
PARCC Testing:
A common set of K-12 assessments in English and math anchored in what it takes to be ready for college and careers.
Beginning 2014-2015 school year
More information: www.education.ohio.gov
Builds a pathway to college and career readiness for all students,
Creates high-quality assessments that measure the full range of the Common Core State Standards.
Supports educators in the classroom.
Makes better use of technology in assessments.
Advances accountability at all levels.
Because regions like Southeast Ohio have different needs than other regions, this type of universal testing and standards is a problem, Dunn said.
"Legislation that forces us to majorly change what we're doing in regards to assessment is concerning to us because the legislature does not realize the ripple effect caused by their decision," he said.
Other school officials said their concern has to do with the necessary technology.
"As a rural district, we're gearing up to handle this. I don't have all the technology I'd like, but I have enough to handle it," said Bruce Kidder, superintendent for Frontier Local Schools. "My problem is that many of my students are at a disadvantage because they don't have access to technology at home."
Kidder said he is worried that the lack of access means his students won't do as well on an online test, particularly when they have never taken it and educators do not even know what it looks like.
"It would be nice if there was a practice PARCC to look at," he said. "We have no idea what it looks like, so we'll have to learn from it after we're already taking it."
Ohio Department of Education spokesperson John Charlton clarified that since Snyder-Lowe wrote the letter to Kasich, Morgan Local had gone through the process of using the state's readiness assessment tool, which had determined that just a few necessary tweaks would allow them to effectively take the online tests.
"The ability to use technology is essential for kids to learn; they need it to be successful," Charlton said. "Most jobs require the use of technology."
Snyder-Lowe was not available for comment Friday.
The implementation of these assessments, Charlton said, has been in the works for years, and schools should be held responsible to make sure students are able to utilize new technology, just as parents would expect that a school would be able to provide textbooks.
"Just because your parents don't have access doesn't mean the child shouldn't," he said.
Marietta City Schools, along with several other districts in Ohio, is taking part in a pilot program this spring to give the state of Ohio a better indication of how PARCC tests will work.
Ruth Kunze, director of curriculum and technology for Marietta, said the pilot program will involve students at Harmar Elementary and Marietta Middle School taking both the online version of tests as well as the pencil and paper version.
For the pilot program, the PARCC Field Test will be administered to more than one million students across the 19 PARCC states.
"The pilot is going to help the state on their end to help us see what we need to do to be prepared," Kunze said. "And we've been encouraging teachers to look at some sample questions that have been made available."
The ODE has made sample PARCC questions for all grades available through its website.
"We took two readiness assessment tests originally and with both of those we didn't feel like we were going to be ready," Kunze said. "With this pilot we've gotten ready for that so we can participate."
Joe Finley, principal of Phillips Elementary in Marietta, said that numbers at his school allow for only about 25 students to be on computers at one time.
"We're still in the dark about what the process is, because it's all new," he said. "I'll speak for Marietta elementaries when I say we do not have the hardware to ever be able to do this in an organized fashion."
Charlton said the department has urged schools to use its readiness tool, as many districts are underestimating their technological capabilities.
"You do not have to have one device for every student. You have a several-week window to complete these tests," he said. "If you have a one-device to two-student ratio, then you can get it done."
The Ohio Department of Education will be allowing schools to ask for paper and pencil versions of the test, but Snyder-Lowe's letter alluded to the difficulties districts would face trying to jump through the hoops involved in getting a waiver.
PARCC is a grouping of 18 states plus the District of Columbia that received an $186 million grant through the U.S. Department of Education's Race to the Top program, which provides funding and support for schools to make advancements in the assessment of teachers and students.
The testing system, along with the Ohio Graduation Tests for high school students and the Ohio Achievement Assessment tests for younger grades, is part of the implementation of Common Core Standards, a set of learning standards to be utilized across states that focus on English and math.

Pegylated interferon lambda 1a (also called IL-29) has fewer side-effects compared to its close cousin pegylated interferon alfa, besides higher level activity against hepatitis C virus infection, said developers of the drug Bristol-Myers Squibb and ZymoGenetics.
Pegylated interferon lambda 1a, when administered once-weekly or once every 2 weeks with or without daily ribavirin, demonstrated potent activity against hepatitis C virus (HCV) in genotype 1 patients.
Compared with pegylated interferon alfa, however, interferon lambda caused fewer flu-like and hematological (blood-related) side effects.
Interferon lambda 1a is a member of the type 3/lambda interferon family, which binds to a receptor with a more restricted distribution than the receptor for interferon alfa/type 1 interferons, and therefore potentially has a more favorable toxicity profile.
Interferon lambda is generated by the immune system in response to viral infection. IL-29 is a member of the type 3 Interferon family, which includes IL-28A and IL-28B, and signals through the same receptor as IL-28A and IL-28B.
Like pegylated interferon alfa (Pegasys or PegIntron) — the approved standard therapy for hepatitis C — pegylated interferon lambda 1a (or PEG-interferon lambda) is formulated to last longer in the body than non-pegylated forms.
In a Phase 1b study presented at the 60th Annual Meeting of the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD) in Boston, Bristol-Myers Squibb Company and ZymoGenetics, Inc. included data on 56 patients in the study.
The Phase 1b clinical trial was designed to evaluate the safety and antiviral activity of PEG-Interferon lambda when given as a single agent or in combination with ribavirin in genotype 1 HCV patients with relapsed disease and in treatment-naive patients.
Interferon lambda 1a showed antiviral activity at all dose levels tested.
"We are pursuing this investigational pathway to address the fact that although current interferons have been the backbone of therapy with meaningful efficacy, they are often poorly tolerated, leading to dose reductions, poor compliance and avoidance of treatment,"
stated Brian Daniels, MD, senior vice president, Global Development & Medical Affairs, Bristol-Myers Squibb.
A majority of patients across all PEG-Interferon lambda treatment arms achieved a greater than 2 log reduction in HCV RNA.
Of the patients in the single agent arm of the study, all 12 of those patients receiving 1.5 mcg/kg and 3.0 mcg/kg weekly for four weeks achieved a greater than 2 log decrease in HCV RNA. Five of the 12 patients receiving 1.5 mcg/kg and 3.00 mcg/kg every two weeks for four weeks achieved a greater than 2 log decrease in HCV RNA.
At PEG-Interferon lambda doses of 0.75 mcg/kg, 1.5 mcg/kg and 2.25 mcg/kg administered in combination with ribavirin in treatment-relapsed patients (n=18), a greater than 3 log mean maximum decrease in viral load was observed. Of those patients, eleven (61%) had less than 1,000 HCV RNA copies at Day 29.
Treatment-naive patients, who were treated with 1.5 mcg/kg of PEG-Interferon lambda in combination with ribavirin (n=7), also had a greater than 3 log mean maximum decrease in viral load and two patients (29%) achieved a rapid virologic response (RVR), or undetectable HCV RNA copies, at 4 weeks.
The most common adverse events were fatigue (29%) and nausea (13%). There were minimal effects on neutrophil counts. Minimal constitutional symptoms or hematologic effects were observed with PEG-Interferon lambda given as a single agent or in combination with ribavirin.
Interferon lambda (IL-29) is a type 3 interferon that binds to a unique receptor with more restricted distribution than the receptors targeted by type 1 interferons, such as interferon alpha. It is in development for hepatitis C.
Bristol-Myers Squibb is a global biopharmaceutical company.
ZymoGenetics markets Recothrom Thrombin, topical (Recombinant), a synthetic version of a human blood-clotting enzyme used to stop bleeding during surgery. Interleukin-21 is a novel cytokine in clinical development for the treatment of metastatic melanoma and renal cell carcinoma. Several other proprietary product candidates are in preclinical development. In addition, ZymoGenetics has licensed rights to multiple clinical and preclinical drug candidates being developed by other companies.

Harman CEO Thinks You Can Do Better Than iTunes
How do executives stay organized? What are their management strategies? And what do they do for fun? Executive Suite seeks answers to the behind-the-scenes questions.
Dinesh Paliwal leads Harman International Industries, a Stamford, Conn.-based audio and lighting company. Harman makes speakers and in-car technology platforms systems that have been installed in more than 25 million cars, including brands like BMW, Chrysler and Lexus. It's also designed new technology to restore the quality of digitally compressed music. The business has 14,800 employees.
Dinesh Paliwal
CEO of: Harman International Industries Inc.
CEO since: July 2007
Age: 56
You were at Swiss engineering giant ABB Group for many years before joining Harman in 2007. Were you nervous to make the transition to a new company?
There's always an anxiety—and that's a positive anxiety—that this is a founder-driven company and there's a lot of culture change. Coming from the No. 2 position [at ABB] to the No.1 position [at Harman], if you are secure in your own skin and if you are confident and if you believe in certain rules of leadership and empowerment, that's what you need. You don't need to know the trick of the trade of the new business because you can learn that, so long as you tell people, "I'm here to learn, but I'm also here to tell you how we're going to do things differently."
What was it like to succeed Sidney Harman, the founder of the company and longtime leader?
We overlapped because when I came in he was still executive chairman for six months. But we found out within those six months that it was not going to stick for too long because of my personality. I'm not someone who wants to be second guessed at all. He always wanted to keep track of asking every little thing. So we had a very healthy, constructive discussion and once he got confidence that Dinesh can take some tough decisions, he said, "I'm willing to step aside and I will relinquish the executive chair role." So I took over within 12 months.
Did you two clash?
It was not a clash because he was always a very respected figure for me. I feel I'm a custodian of what Dr. Harman built. It was always a very healthy discussion, a discussion of changing the company's footprint, changing the company's brand marketing, changing the company's business model. To his credit, he always said, "I'm willing to listen. You need to convince me." And my job was to convince him.
We still remained very good friends. I used to visit him until he passed away [in 2011.]
What management lessons did you learn from Dr. Harman?
[He was a] very good listener. He [would say], "You tell me what you want to do and then you write it down and come back tomorrow and read what you wrote and tell me you still believe in it." That was his test, whether an idea was impulsive or something you thought through. That stuck in my head. I actually practice that when I'm dealing with my management team.
Your company has been doing research on how to restore the sound quality of digitized music. What are users missing out on listening to their iPhones?
What [users] are getting from either streaming music or even iTunes, it's a totally compressed music, which has lost 90% of its original recording content. So you're missing out on all the highs and lows. [It's] coming to you almost like single-channel music rather than multi-channel music to your ears.
What kind of music do you like?
I always like jazz. I like country. I love Maroon 5.
You said you recently stepped down from the board of security company ADT Corp. because you had too much on your plate. How do you balance work and boards and your family?
Most of my life has been and still is all about my work. This is my hobby and this is my passion. My wife—we've been married 27 years—has run the family and I run the business.
Harman has in recent years won several Grammy awards for the technical contributions its brands have made to the recording industry. As an engineer and a businessman did you ever think you'd be racking up musical honors?
I was pinching myself the first time, 2010, when I went to the stage. I said, "This is unbelievable." I'm an electrical engineer, chemical engineer. I never thought I'd go to the Grammys to begin with, let alone go to the stage. The second came in 2014, this January. Again I was saying, "I must have done something right in my last life that I'm getting Grammys." And again my wife was making fun of me, "You are so lucky that you've never been part of the music industry and now you get to go to the stage."

AUSTIN, TX (KXAN) - Lady Gaga will bring hordes of her "little monsters" to a South by Southwest show on March 13.
The pop star made the announcement a week in advance, in a video released by Doritos early Thursday morning.
Doritos is reportedly bringing its Bold Stage to Stubb's for the night, because the City of Austin denied a permit for the diva to play the company's pop-up lot at 5th Street and Neches Street downtown, citing safety concerns.
Doritos has built a giant vending machine each of the last two years in the small parking lot of Carmelo's Italian Restaurant at 504 E. Fifth Street.
The venue can only hold around 800 people, according to Austin Police Cmdr. William Manno.
Lady Gaga is touring after releasing her new album Artpop in November.
There's no ticket to buy, however. Fans will only be able to get access by completing one of the Doritos "Bold Mission" challenges.

Senior officials of the former Kosovo Liberation Army (UCK) face indictment by a special EU court for alleged killings, abductions, and sexual violence.
The threat of indictments comes in a report published on July 29 in Brussels by Clint Williamson, a prosecutor appointed by the European Union to investigate ethnic cleansing committed in Kosovo during the 1998-99 Kosovo war.
Williamson said the suspects bear responsibility for a campaign of persecution directed at minority populations and Kosovo Albanians believed to be political opponents of the UCK leadership.
Many former UCK commanders went on to leadership positions after Kosovo declared independence in 2008.
Williamson also said there were "compelling indications" that up to 10 captives were killed to have their organs harvested for illegal trafficking during the war.
However, he said the level of evidence is not yet sufficient to prosecute the alleged crimes.

Jeff Carter's level of fitness is a key asset in this compacted schedule
Kings Head Coach Darryl Sutter was asked about the potency of Jeff Carter's shot two weeks ago, and while delving into a tangent to detail what has allowed the 28-year-old to make the advances he has this season with the Kings, he used the term "commitment."
"When we got Jeff Carter last year, he was 199 pounds, and he trained like a son of a gun last summer," Sutter said. "He's 210 pounds."
In the 29 games and 18 goals since the National Hockey League returned, it's apparent that his off-season regimen has played a part in his blistering 2012-13 goal scoring pace.
"There were a lot of guys that played overseas that were right up to midseason form, so I think for the guys that didn't like myself, it was on us to get up to that level and get up there quick," Carter said.
"With the [one] week training camp, you didn't have much time. It was on you to do the little extra, whether it would be in the weight room or wherever – on the ice, or whatever it was to get up to their level. You saw some teams with good starts there that were up to that level, and I think it took us a few games to get there, but we got there, and now we look pretty good."
There wasn't any real change to his off-season conditioning. In the throes of the NHL lockout, he did attempt surfing without having taken any lessons and found about as much success as one would find hopping into a car with manual transmission for the first time and attempting to drive a stick shift.
Other than his Hermosa Beach rite of passage and a workout routine that had been extended by several months due to the work stoppage, there weren't any changes to his traditionally rigorous off-season, on-ice workout program. According to Carter, that routine was "nothing different than what we usually do."
While much of the hockey world turned blue after holding its collective breath for four months, Carter was at the rink early with his teammates as well as Ryan Miller of the Buffalo Sabres and George Parros of the Florida Panthers, amongst others.
"I think when I came out here, it was a huge plus for me during the lockout," Carter said. "[I was] working out with Lewie (Trevor Lewis), Greener (Matt Greene). Stick (Justin Williams) was here. There were probably seven or eight of us. Scuds (Rob Scuderi) was here. You've got a few guys like Greener and Lewie, and they're workers. They work hard in the off-season to come in in top shape, and just…being around them, it brushes off on you, I guess. I think it was great for me. It's always easier to get things done when you've got a good group of guys, and a bunch of guys together every morning doing it."
Though Jarret Stoll had been a Stanley-Cup winning teammate of Carter's for almost nine months at the time, the extra workouts that extended past October and into the late fall gave the veteran center a special appreciation of Carter's dedication.
"He'd been really serious throughout the whole lockout in making sure he's in the gym, he's on the ice, he's working hard. He takes care of his body. He eats right," Stoll said. "If you're going to indulge here or there, you can do that as long as you pick your spots. All in moderation."
There hasn't been anything about Carter's performance that screams out "moderation". He's tied for second in the league in total goals and even strength goals. His six game-winning goals lead the league.
In a season in which teams opened the year with varying degrees of regular season-readiness, Carter appeared to have an extra step in his stride as some opponents were looking to find theirs. During a 17-game March, the level of conditioning maintained mornings in the rink throughout October, November and December are paying off.
"I don't know if it's given me a leg up, but it's definitely helped keep me kind of on the same level as everybody else. It's a tough month. There's not much practice [time]."
"I think I had a good summer. I felt strong – and I still feel strong – and it's kind of helped me carry things through."
There was doubt in the darkest days of the lockout, and when the NHL proposed a two-week moratorium of negotiations in November, lacing up the skates in the mornings wasn't quite as easy as when positivity emanated from later discussions.
"There were a couple times there where it seemed like things were going well, and we'd see our skates kind of pick up a little bit," Carter said.
The preparation never wavered in the face of often murky labor news.
"The most important thing is take it seriously, have pride in it and want to do it," Stoll said of Carter's off-season approach.
Though surfing made it onto his horizon last summer, he made it clear he wasn't getting anywhere near the start line for the L.A. Marathon.
"No, no, no. I'm not a runner," Carter said. "Bad hips."

Gudebrod Factory Lay Offs
A recent story in The Pottstown Mercury reports that Gudebrod has laid off all of their employees. Is this the beginning of the end for Gudebrod?
Most custom fishing rod builders know of Gudebrod through their rod building thread that they have manufactured. However there have been rumblings in the industry within the past year or so that Gudebrod was facing some problems and many custom rod supply shops had difficult times in getting some Gudebrod threads.
On August 3, 2010, The Mercury quoted Gudebrod company president, Natt LeGrande Jr as saying, ""We are in the process of trying to bring in fresh financing… And I think we're going to be successful. I think it's going to happen."
Gudebrod not only has made thread especially for custom fishing rod builders, but even such products such as dental floss, yarns and products aimed at the medical and aerospace industry.
There is no news of the layoffs on the Gudebrod company website.

Welcome to my "Run the Sahara" website. I have put this site together to provide information about my attempt to run 151 miles across the Sahara Desert. The race is called the Marathon de Sables and it is claimed to be the toughest foot race in the world!
I have been training for about a year and was due to run the race in March 2009. However, 3 weeks before I was due to depart, I started to notice that I was becoming breathless on runs and an ECG showed an irregular heartbeat. A bit more investigation showed that I had developed an Atrial Fibrillation - my resting heart rate was up to 74 (whereas normally it might be 50) and with exercise it would rise to dangerous levels. As a result, I have sadly had to withdraw from the race in 2009. However, all is not lost. I will be having treatment over the next couple of months culminating in my heart being shocked to stop it so that it can start again normally, and I should have a place in the 2010 race - so plenty of time to get your sponsorship in.
To find out more about the race, me, the equipment, the charity I am running for and what you can do to help, have a browse around this website.
The MdS is an annual event that takes place in Morocco. Every year at the end of March, around 700 people line up for 6 days of exertion and physical punishment as they attempt to cross 151 miles of desert. I have volunteered to take part. The question is, am I mad or just completely insane. You can read more about this event on th pages of this website.
I am running on behalf of Water Aid, an international charity that aims to overcome poverty by enabling the world's poorest people to gain access to safe water, sanitation and hygiene education. One in eight people in the world does not have access to clean drinking water and sanitation. Water Aid enables the world's poorest people to gain access to safe water, sanitation and hygiene education. These basic human rights underpin health, education and livelihoods. They are committed to addressing the vital need for safe water and sanitation head on. But they need your support and mine - and that is why I am undertaking this race in their name.

I love transfer deadline day!
God Bless September 1st! But what a rubbish day for me to be starting a new job - you're supposed to look on the ball on the first day aren't you? Oh well, I'm only here two weeks...
Anyway, my favourite story of the day: http://www.sofiaecho.com/article/manchester-city-make-cheeky-bid-to-steal-berbatov-from-under-united-s-nose/id_31496/catid_71

Good old BMJ doing his stuff in Hamburg instead of with us. He must be chuckling at what's going on with Berba I reckon!
not_blonde_really not_blonde_really Sep 1, 2008 23:03 Flag
It's brilliant isn't it - all the adrenaline rush of a game, but for 24 hours!
I've got no beef with Berb going - it was always going to be this summer, him & the club hada mutually beneficial arrangement that was never going to be long term, it's sad it's ended with all this 'dream' bollocks and him sitting out (or being forced to sit out?) the last few games, but good luck to him, I'm just happy to watch the bickering continue!
nah lot quieter over here, hamburg are doing some ducking and diving but that's about it ;-)

No, it's full time, it's just rubbish and only for two weeks so I'm going to abuse internet privileges! Word's going round about City being a mistake for us as they're one of our nearest competitors for 4th, what do you reckon?
Personally I think they're still a shard beneath where we should be (and have been in recent seasons), however us losing and them gaining Berbs could make up the difference. Personally though, I think we can cope with them having him without it been too distruptive.
Apparently they're offering £200,000 a week - I think Mercatov will go for that.

Well at least you've got a job. Had to close the bakery 3 weeks ago. Made redundant. Pardon the expression but im running out of bread. I need a job but my expertise is in baking. What should i do? Someone said i should be a policeman but would they take an ex-baker? im an supremely skilled in baking bread and other wheat based products. Guis a job mate
Why would Berb go to Citeh? I would still rather see him at Barca.

you're only touting for a job with more dough ebm! ;-)
and good luck in the new(obviously part time job) nbr

Hahahaha! Yep almost as good as April Fool's Day! Wonder if the story was planted in the hope of getting Manure to up their bid.
Don't think it'll happen though and I reckon he'll end up staying put if we don't get a 3rd striker before midnight tonight.
Good luck with the new job today - I'm back to work in 2 weeks after what will have been 12 weeks off sick. Not looking forward to it :-(

text: Hopefully this forum might help. How can I get some reviews of my books? Two of my science fiction novels, a collection of my science fiction and fantasy short stories, and a science-fiction-like nonfiction history are all up on Barnes & Noble, Amazon, and Borders sites. But no one seems to notice them. 1. "The Goddess of Love and the Angel of Death" is a novel that shifts between 2019 and 1997. I originally intended an Adam and Eve story. It involves a nude male art model and a nude stripper. In a gender reversal, he tempts her with a fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil in the form of a plastic sculpture. There are several paragraphs involved with making hardcore porn, but have no overt unpleasantness. The book is basically a love story and the aftermath of a love story. "Sinking Into Summer's Arms" is a novel built around the finding of a body of a Neanderthal in the Austrian Alps circa 2025 by a group of postgrad researchers out of Delft, Holland. They, and in a way their Neanderthal, get mixed up in a plot to assassinate the newly appointed UN Emergency Secretary for Global Warming. "Open 25 Hours" is a collection of my science fiction and fantasy stories, including a a pseudo-takeoff that might seem an X-Files story. "The Tragic End of the Bronze Age" is a nonfiction popular history. But it is derived from my discovery of a science-fiction-like ancient near-end-of-the-world true story. I seem to have run across a smallpox epidemic that wiped out the Bronze Age and nearly wiped out us. If you guys know how I can get these reviewed, it would help. I have to buy all copies of these books myself at almost their retail prices, so I am reluctant to send out to just anyone. But I think that thy are pretty good books and no one knows about them. Tom Slattery, author. I've got more. But these can be seen on those sites.

The liberal class' solution to the bleak political landscape is the conference, where liberals go to feel good about themselves again. Forget about reclaiming and re-electing President Obama—worry about resisting him.

The specific inspiration for weapons proliferation among vulnerable Third World states is the desire to have a nuclear deterrent against invasion or attack by the United States (or in the Iran case, Israel), or by some other nation in the future.
Courtesy of C-SPAN, watch the whole (and at times, lively) exchange between President Barack Obama and Republican House members at a GOP retreat in Baltimore on Friday.
There is broad agreement on the kinds of concessions the Senate can make to the House and still preserve the 60 votes needed for passage of a unified health care reform bill.
For 22 years, people with HIV and AIDS have been banned from entering the U.S. It's pretty difficult to throw a global AIDS conference under such circumstances, which is why the policy is coming to an end.

President Obama has lowered the bar for December's Copenhagen climate change conference by talking down the importance of arriving at an agreement on global warming by the end of the year. Obama's position contradicts the United Nations and others who see the conference in Denmark as a crucial moment for stemming climate change.
Clearly, several dozen delegates at the United Nations anti-racism conference in Geneva, Switzerland, disagreed with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's assessment of Israel as a "racist government" on Monday.
Scientists meeting in Copenhagen say the U.N.'s worst climate fears are already coming to pass. Lord Stern, who helped alert the world to the economic perils of climate change, said at the conference that his 2006 report underestimated both the speed and scope of climate change.

A team of researchers has found that sea levels could rise up to three times higher over the next century than U.N. estimates have indicated. The findings have dire implications for the 600 million people who live in vulnerable areas. Scientists gathered in Denmark said they expect polar and glacial melting to accelerate.
It seems Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's stimulus compromise announcement was a tad premature, a fact that reportedly irked the most powerful woman in politics, Nancy Pelosi. "The speaker went through the roof," a House Democrat told Politico, when she saw Reid's alleged power play.
NATO has no coherent overall purpose and has not had one since the end of the Cold War. Any number of redefinitions and reorganizations have been proposed or tried and have proved unsatisfactory because no one can explain what it is that NATO really does or is for, other than to clean up behind the United States.
Those words from the former chief economist of the International Monetary Fund, who warns that the global economic malaise is only at its halfway point, if that. "The U.S. is not out of the woods," says Ken Rogoff.
Since Karl Rove skipped out on his subpoena to appear before the House Judiciary Committee last month, the whereabouts of Bush's longtime political strategist have emerged—Rove was in Crimea, Ukraine, for the fifth annual Yalta European Strategy summit. Also in attendance: former British Prime Minister Tony Blair and Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili.
Here's the condensed version of this story: A once-per-decade Anglican bishop conference looms in Canterbury, England; some bishops are upset due to growing acceptance of homosexuality in Anglican-affiliated churches; said bishops decide to boycott Canterbury conference and start their own in Jerusalem. So there!
Thousands of people gathered in Minneapolis for the fourth National Conference for Media Reform. They came from all walks of life and all ages to address a central crisis in our society: our broken media system.
Barack Obama's statements about the city of Jerusalem before AIPAC's annual policy conference have Mosaic wondering if the candidate just slipped up or truly doesn't understand the complexities of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. "Perhaps for a change," suggests hosts Jamal Dajani, "he should stop pandering to interest groups and take a hard look at the facts on the ground."
FEMA has admitted that it was probably a mistake to hold a press conference without members of the press. On Tuesday the agency, perhaps trying to get a jump on the kind of negative publicity it received after Hurricane Katrina, stuffed a press briefing with its own employees, who lobbed softballs such as "Are you happy with FEMA's response so far?"
A senior State Department official has confirmed that Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice met with her Syrian counterpart at an ongoing conference in Egypt. The two were expected to discuss Iraq's security. Iran, too, has expressed interest in such a meeting, but when asked about that possibility earlier this week President Bush said simply that his top diplomat would not be rude to Iran's foreign minister.
Ban Ki-Moon said the United Nations is boosting its efforts to address a growing humanitarian crisis in Iraq. Speaking at a U.N. conference on Iraq's economy, the secretary-general urged the 90 nations in attendance not to abandon the war-ravaged country. Update: Iraq unveils a five-year reconstruction plan.
Despite ramping up its verbal attacks on Iran and Syria, the U.S. will participate in a conference in Iraq next month that will include the two regional powers. A State Department spokesman said he would not "exclude any particular interaction" with the diplomatic foes.

NBC reporter David Gregory uses a smart hypothetical scenario to challenge Bush on his interrogation policy; Bush ducks it and keeps to his talking points—as usual, but Gregory keeps up.
During his recent press conference, President Bush continued to use the oldest tactic of a verbal bully: saying the same thing louder, as though that makes it true.
During the president's Rose Garden press conference, NBC reporter David Gregory asked Bush how he would feel if a country like Iran or North Korea kidnapped an American citizen, tortured him and then tried him without letting him see any evidence. Bush's answer was a nonsensical non sequitur. (Read it) (Salon post - ad required)
From CNN
Bush says that questioning of suspected terrorists "won't go forward" unless Congress passes a law clarifying the treatment and interrogation of such detainees.
Believe that? If so, there's a nice Nigerian billionaire we met on the Internet who'd love to discuss a business opportunity with you…
Donors attending a conference in Sweden have pledged $940 million for Lebanon's reconstruction, almost twice as much aid as organizers had hoped for. Although he said his country had sustained billions of dollars in damage, Lebanese Prime Minister Siniora expressed his "great appreciation" of the donors' support.
From ThinkProgress
At his press conference today, the president came refreshingly (although just a tad belatedly) clean about the fact that Iraq played no part whatsoever in the Sept. 11 attacks. Watch it.
A howler from Bush: "Nobody?s ever suggested in this administration that Saddam Hussein ordered the attack." OK, maybe not in those words, but how 'bout in these?
The Wikimania conference is underway, and "mania" is just one word that's getting the wiki treatment. Consider these project announcements: "Wikiversity" and "Wikiwyg." More news on what's new in wiki via blogger Andy Carvin (via boingboing.net). Great story by Stacy Schiff in The New Yorker about the future of Wikipedia.

Mere hours after Sen. Rick Santorum (R-Pa.) announced breathlessly at a press conference that ?we have found weapons of mass destruction in Iraq,? a Fox news reporter found out that Santorum was hyping a document that describes degraded, pre-1991 munitions already acknowledged and dismissed by the White House?s Iraq Survey Group.
Watch Santorum dissemble when confronted with these truths on air. (h/t: Think Progress)
The DailyKos-hosted annual blogger conference, taking place this weekend in Las Vegas, is attracting a gaggle of traditional-media reporters—not to mention politicians, fundraisers and political operatives.

Next up: round four
Roger defeated France's Florent Serra (ATP 61) in a pair of tiebreaks today: 7-6(2), 7-6(3).
Roger displayed some awesome tennis, starting the match well as he raced to a 5-2 lead. But he had to accept a break by his opponent, who managed to level the set at 5-5. As the set went into the tie-break, Roger regained the momentum and spared two points to close it by 7 points to 2. The second set brought an early break in the third game for our maestro, who then consolidated the lead with a double break for 4-1. Serra once again broke Roger to close in the gap, and successfully levelled the set once again at 5-5 with consecutive service breaks. Roger, surprised by the Frenchman's tenacity, failed to grab another break and looked for closure in the tie-break, which progressed as expected, giving Roger a mini-break lead at 3-1. With a lead, he closed the 7-6(2), 7-6(3) match in one hour and 32 minutes of play.
Next up is the winner of the match between Tomas Berdych and Horacio Zeballos.
Congratulations on your win against Serra in what turned out to be a tight couple of sets. However, you played two great tie breaks and those net shots you produced in the second set were totally amazing. Good luck against Berdych in your

Let me make the first statement: Arunachal Pradesh is an integral part of India. But over the years it has remained isolated from mainland India, mainly because it is located in the eastern-most corner of India. It is incidentally the largest North-Eastern state in terms of area, and it shares a 1,680 km-long border with three foreign nations: China, Bhutan and Mynamar.

Telecom M&A Rumors Ring True
While a potential merger of Telefonica and Telecom Italia remains at the strong rumor stage at present, the choreography around the story suggests that the deal could be a real possibility.
Given that any likelihood of a deal should already be in the price of debt, the credit market seems to be taking the story in its stride, noted Roger Appleyard, Global Head of Credit Research for RBC Capital Markets, speaking to Dow Jones Investment Banker.
Currently, five-year CDS spreads for Telefonica and Telecom Italia trade around 1.2x at 110bps and 130bps respectively; the spread has been as high as 3x during the financial crisis.
Looking at the debt levels behind any merger, Telecom Italia has net debt/Editda of around 3x with EUR33 billion of net debt, while Telefonica has a multiple of around 1.7x net debt/Editda, with around EUR40 billion of net debt.
Should there be an all-share merger, the credit market would be likely to mark the combined debt closer to that of Telefonica than Telecom Italia, in Appleyard's view. This is because the pro-forma debt of the new company would be around the 2.2x net debt/Ebitda level, which is still within Telefonica's stated net debt/Ebitda range of 2.0x to 2.5x.
That said, it should also be noted that how the market takes any such deal will also depend on macro factors regarding sovereign debt from Spain and Italy, which is currently a fluid situation.
Meanwhile, from an equity perspective it's likely that Telefonica could get marked down on a merger. Again, assuming an all-share deal, it's likely Telefonica would need to pay a premium to Telecom Italia shareholders, but this could be offset by the free cash flow to enterprise for Telefonica at 9.3% being lower than the 12% for Telecom Italia.
No doubt there's a chance that a deal could be constructed via the use of holding company structures. This could be so that Telecom Italia's network remains (at least cosmetically) in Italian hands, while there might be tax implications from any proposed merger. However, while holding structures generally seem to sort out short-term problems, they also have a habit of unraveling over time, leaving long-term headaches for management.
It's also likely that Telefonica would want assurances on how the new company would be regulated in Italy and perhaps even Brazil, where both companies have operations. Spanish companies would have taken note of how the U.K. authorities dealt with BAA post-acquisition by Ferrovial.
Looking at the positive side, a merged company should have more firepower than Telecom Italia on its own, so the Italian government could be won over by a promise to increase capex spend on a domestic fiber network.
At the end of the day, such a merger is likely to need approval at inter-government level, involving discussions above and beyond the telecom industry alone. But given telcos' prodigious cash flows, it looks for the moment that credit markets would not be fazed by such a deal.

A Quote by Thomas Merton on war, change, non-violence, peace, and power
I am against war, against violence, against violent revolution, for peaceful settlement of differences, for nonviolent but nevertheless radical changes. Change is needed, and violence will not really change anything: at most it will only transfer power from one set of bull-headed authorities to another.

On the latest episode of the podcast I briefly mentioned that I'd recently bought an Acer Aspire Revo to use as an Ubuntu based media player. Well, I've installed Ubuntu and Boxee on it, and it plays back all kinds of video including 720p and 1080p HD video via the HDMI port. The box is silent enough for it to be in the bedroom and not disturb sleep at all. I had to put my ear right up to it to hear anything, it's as good as silent. It can be found for about £150 here in the UK, which is (in my opinion) an awesome price for this bit of kit.
Here's its vitals:-
- Intel Atom 230 1.6GHz CPU – Single core, but HT
- 1GiB of shared memory
- 160GB (149GiB) 2.5″ Hitachi Disk
- nVidia ION Video Card
- Ethernet and WiFi
- VGA & HDMI ports
- 6 USB ports
- Multi-Memory-Card reader
Notably missing is bluetooth which I needed for my remote control, but not too much of an issue as bluetooth dongles are super cheap and the box has enough USB ports to go round.
I wanted to use this device as a kind of "set top box" to play back video. The options for software included Boxee, Mythbuntu and XBMC and certainly not Windows Media Centre as some crackpot on the Hampshire LUG mailing list suggested.
Below are some notes about how I installed Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic) on the device and got the Sony Playstation 3 remote control working. I chose Ubuntu 9.10 because I knew the video driver for the nVidia ION card was available in the repository, and I feel confident with it.
Note: At the time of writing, Ubuntu 9.10 is in Alpha stage, that means it breaks. Anyone who tells you it doesn't is a liar 🙂 It broke the day I was trying to install, but luckily the people in #ubuntu+1 irc channel helped me get it working again.
So far I have installed Boxee on top of Ubuntu and have found it great for my needs. Not sure if I'll install XBMC because Boxee seems to cover my needs. Also unsure whether or not I'll install MythTV on it either as I currently have no major requirement for recording TV and playing back in another room. Maybe later I will, who knows.
Installing Ubuntu
Download Ubuntu Karmic Alpha 3 Desktop ISO image from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/karmic/alpha-3/
On my Ubuntu desktop, used USB startup disk creator to make a bootable USB stick containing alpha 3.
I had a problem that the Karmic Alpha 3 image boots to a text logon prompt, not a GUI. It seems that the open source nv driver that shipped on Alpha 3 image doesn't support the NVidia ION chipset inside the Revo. Here's what I did to get to the graphical logon screen and then proceed with the install:-
Login with username 'ubuntu' and no password
Attach the Revo to the wired network
Check I have an ip address with the 'ifconfig' command
Update the list of packages
sudo apt-get update
Install the nVidia proprietary driver version 185 (in the 180 package confusingly)
sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-180
Grab a known working xorg.conf:-
wget http://popey.com/~alan/revo/xorg.conf
Put the xorg.conf into place:-
sudo cp ./xorg.conf /etc/X11
Restart the graphical environment:-
sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start
Ubuntu desktop starts up at this point, so now we can run the graphical install routine as normal. I created a user which logs in automatically to the desktop because it's a set to box, I don't want any logon prompts. At the end, reboot and remove the USB stick. Unfortunately I got the text based logon screen again, so did the following to fix it:-
Logon using the account details I created during the install.
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get dist-upgrade sudo apt-get install dkms sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-180 --reinstall
That should permanently fix it. Not sure why DKMS was missing from the Alpha 3 CD.
That's it for the Ubuntu install, not too painful at all. The only extra packages I then installed were ones I tend to put on most desktops:-
$ sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras openssh-server pavucontrol mplayer vlc ffmpeg libavcodec-unstripped-52 libavfilter-unstripped-0 libavdevice-unstripped-52 libavformat-unstripped-52
I used pavucontrol to switch audio output from the headphone jack 'Output Analog Stereo' to the HDMI port 'Output Digital Stereo (HDMI), which worked with no messing. I note that some people have had issues with audio over HDMI on Ubuntu 9.04, but the good news is it just works out of the box in 9.10.
I then tested video playback using mplayer and VLC. It worked fine, but as those packages in the repo don't have VDPAU support, I wasn't able to play back 720p or 1080p at a reasonable pace. However this isn't an issue because I then moved on to install Boxee which I know does support it.
Another issue I noted was a large amount of overscan so the panels top and bottom were off the edge of the screen. This made choosing panel icons tricky at times! Using ALT+F1 I opened the Applications menu, and could navigate pretty much everywhere I needed to from there.
I've had a Boxee account for a while, and tried it out on a few computers. It's never really struck me as useful because I can usually playback video via standard desktop tools. However for a set-top box it makes more sense to me to have an easy to use user interface to locally stored and web delivered video. That and it supporting VDPAU out of the box made it an attractive choice for the Revo.
Boxee have a repository for their application, so it was simply a case of going to System -> Administration -> Software Sources -> Third-Party Software -> Add, and pasting this in:-
deb http://apt.boxee.tv jaunty main
Note: I am running Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic) and that repo is for Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty), so I was expecting failure.
Indeed, trying to install the boxee package failed because it was looking for a package called liblzo1 which isn't available in Karmic. liblzo2-2 is available in 9.10 but that didn't work, so I cheated a bit and grabbed liblzo1 from 9.04 and installed that. Boxee then proceeded to install just fine.
Once Boxee is installed there is an item on the Sound & Video menu to start it.
I enabled hardware acceleration in the Boxee GUI which effectively enables VDPAU. The only other setting to tweak was to configure overscan compensation so that the full picture appears within the TV screen viewing area. Both are very easy to set in Boxee.
Playstation 3 Bluetooth Remote
On advice from Daviey, my fellow podcaster and Mythbuntu developer, I bought a playstation 3 remote. These are not infra-red but bluetooth devices, so I dug out my bluetooth dongle and plugged that into the back of the Revo.
To get the remote working you first need to associate it with Ubuntu, which is best done with the blueman applet which isn't installed by default.
sudo apt-get install blueman
I also noted that the 'uinput' kernel module isn't loaded by default. So I edited /etc/modules and added the line in.
sudo nano /etc/modules
This is all we need to add:-
Further we need a udev rule:-
sudo nano /etc/udev/rules.d/40-permissions.rules
Add this line.
KERNEL=="uinput", MODE="0666"
Next I loaded the module manually to save me having to reboot.
sudo modprobe uinput
Now I open the bluetooth applet by running:-
Right click the new bluetooth applet, choose "Setup New Device". On the Sony remote press and hold 'Ente'r & 'Start' for 5 seconds, click 'Next' in the wizard.
The remote should show up on the list of discovered devices (along with any phones and computers nearby). Click on the remote then click next. On the next screen choose 'not pairing' then click 'Next'. On the next screen choose 'input service' then click 'Next'.This pairs the remote and the Ubuntu install. Next we need to set the device as trusted.
Right click the blueman applet icon and choose 'Devices..'. The 'BD Remote Control' should be listed. Highlight it then press the yellow 'Trust' icon, and a yellow star will now appear in the corner of the logo for that device indicating it's now trusted. Next we need to configure lirc which isn't installed by default:-
sudo apt-get install lirc
We need to discover which device the BD Remote Control appears as, which we can obtain from /proc/bus/input/devices.
$ cat /proc/bus/input/devices [snip] I: Bus=0005 Vendor=054c Product=0306 Version=0000 N: Name="PS3 Remote Controller" P: Phys= S: Sysfs=/devices/virtual/input/input8 U: Uniq= H: Handlers=kbd event8 B: EV=3 B: KEY=80000000 0 700000 1083c100 8c00ea 0 6bc00000 1 0 8000 1102 c0000801 801680 0 0 10000ffe
Note the 'Handlers' for the PS3 Remote Controller. We need to configure the with that device name by editing the config:-
sudo nano /etc/lirc/hardware.conf
Add these lines (changing 'event8' if appropriate):-
REMOTE="ps3" REMOTE_DRIVER="devinput" REMOTE_DEVICE="/dev/input/event8"
Finally we restart lirc.
sudo /etc/init.d/lirc restart
That's it. I can now 'type' into Ubuntu using the buttons on the remote. The arrows map to the cursor keys, the Enter button maps to the Enter key on the keyboard. It's all good. Time to start up Boxee and watch some videos!

Reel 334, Item 4
The Little Mohee
As I was out walking For pleasure one day,
To see the creation I scarcely could say
As I sat amusing Myself in the shade,
There was none to come there But a young Indian maid.
She sit down beside me And took holt of my hand,
She sang, You are a stranger And in a strange land.
But if you will follow,
You re welcome to come And cheer with myself In a snug little home.
The sun was fast sinking Far over the sea,
While I was out walking With the little Mohee.
Together we ramble,
Together we roam,
Till we came to a cottage And a coconut tree.
Well, the last time I saw her,
She stood on a strand,
and as the ship sailed by her,
She waved her little hand.
Sing, whenever you get home To the girl that you love,
Just think of the Mohee And the coconut grove.
Well now I'm safe landed Upon the seashore,
Surrounded by friends And companions once more.

Well in this wide world Many beauties could see,
But there is none to compare with The little Mohee.

For a student to retain or have the PROMISE award renewed each
year, the student must:
Scholars are not required to reapply to the scholarship yearly.
Scholarships are automatically renewed if students meet the renewal
requirements at the end of a year of enrollment. Scholars may use
subsequent summer sessions at their own expense to meet the
requirements for renewal.
Eligibility for renewal is determined by the scholar's
institution at the end of a year of scholarship utilization, based
on first-time semester enrollment. For example: Scholars enrolling
in their first semester of college during the fall semester will
have the fall, spring, and summer semesters to meet the renewal
requirements. Scholars enrolling in their first semester of college
during the spring semester are considered "off track" and will have
the spring, summer and fall semesters to meet renewal
Terms of Eligibility
A student seeking an associate degree is eligible to receive a
PROMISE Scholarship for no more than four total semesters of a
two-year degree program. Associate degree students must maintain
the cumulative 3.0 required of students enrolled in baccalaureate
A student seeking a bachelor's degree is eligible to receive a
PROMISE Scholarship for no more than eight semesters of a four-year
degree program.
Summer Credits
If a student enrolls in summer school to attain the minimum 30
credit hours required, or achieve the grade point average required,
he or she shall not receive a PROMISE scholarship for that summer
school enrollment. Such summer school enrollments must be completed
before the commencement of a regular semester at the PROMISE
eligible institution the student regularly attends. Summer school
credits may be obtained from an out-of-state institution, with
approval of the home institution.
Credits included/excluded from the cumulative GPA
College credits earned prior to the first semester of enrollment
are not considered when determining the student's eligibility for
renewal of the scholarship.
All college credit hours and corresponding grades beginning with
the first semester of regular enrollment (fall or spring semester
following graduation from high school) must be counted in
determining PROMISE Scholarship eligibility, regardless of whether
or not the college accepts these credits.
Credit for a course taken again during the same award year,
including the summer, to improve a grade, or for any other purpose,
will only be counted once towards meeting the hours
