Education resources are made available by open source
Open source eliminates lack of resources at inner city schools
Fifty years ago, on January 17, 1963, Martin Luther King, Jr. delivered his "I Have a Dream" speech in Washington, DC. And it is worthwhile to reflect on how much or little has changed in terms of education. His belief that "my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character" still resonates today. Five years later, in 1968, King was assassinated as he was working on his Poor People's Campaign, a multiracial effort to gain economic justice and alleviate poverty regardless of race. His underlying concern had been social justice and altering the balance of power in society by reforming society, which remains controversial today.
King's speeches and campaigns came on the heels of the landmark US Supreme Court case, Brown v. Board of Education (1954), which legally ended segregation in public schools but did not address racial inequality in them or residential segregation that affects public schools today. In the 1970s and 1980s a series of court cases created forced busing or desegregation busing in an effort to address prior racial segregation in the schools and residential segregation on local public school demographics. The practice was hotly contested in many areas of the country, but none more so than in Boston, Massachusetts. Today, children in parts of Boston take buses or trains to the suburbs where the schools are predominately white and wealthier; traditionally score higher on educational achievement tests; have more textbooks and better qualified teachers; and more computer hardware and software in the public schools.
Until open hardware and software existed, many public schools in the inner cities lacked the resources to provide highly qualified teachers or quality textbooks, books (fiction, nonfiction, and reference), periodicals, videos, or much technology. But today abandoned and old computers are being donated and recycled for use in low-income school districts; free computers can also be obtained through organizations like Free Geek and Freecycle, and on CraigsList.
If school districts install Linux and Open Office, they can save thousands and thousands of dollars in licensing fees, maintenance, and personnel. With Internet access, open source web browsers such as WebKit, Wordpress, and Buddypress can then be installed within six minutes to create a website or blog. And with Internet access, limitless educational opportunities ensue; a few examples include:
- Highly qualified teachers and instructors found on MIT's OpenCourseWare
- National Science Teachers Association freebies for science teachers
- Yale professor Keith Wrightson's lecture's on Early Modern England from FreeVideoLectures
With Internet access and an open source web browser, the lack of resources associated with public schools in the inner cities can potentially be greatly reduced or eliminated.
The potential role that open source can play in bridging racial inequality is profound. By 2050, the current white majority will be become the new minority. Critics contend that if the US does not invest in the education of minorities, then the ramifications could be catastrophic. Moreover, there is a strong correlation between poverty and race and numerous reports that show minorities lagging in educational opportunities, achievement, and attainment.
Schools have become more segregated. Educational tests between whites and minorities have not changed in 20 years.
The potential role that open source can playing in bridging poverty is also profound and should not be dismissed. The rates on poverty have also not changed in 30 years either. In 2010, over 46.2 million Americans lived in poverty according to the U.S. Census Bureau, the highest poverty level in 17 years. In 2012, the working poor represent arguably the largest, and fastest growing, economic class in the US.
Open source can help the poor get a quality education, jobs, health care, and much more. Never before in history have educational opportunities been more prevalent nor tied to wealth or status. The University of the People, for instance, is the world's first tuition-free online university. Likewise, ALISON allows adults to enroll in courses for basic workplace skills or obtain a diploma or certificate for free.
Today, we are not limited by the color of our skin to partake in these educational opportunities but limited by time, access to open source, and our own initiative to pursue knowledge on its own, whether that is formally in a school setting or informally on our own. Last I looked, Americans are guaranteed the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. There's not much happiness if educational opportunities are restricted based on wealth and status rather than the availability and accessibility that open source affords.

Small problem here: "Schools have become more segregated. Educational tests between whites and minorities have not changed in 20 years."
I think what was meant is that the achievement gap between 'whites' and minorities has not changed in 20 years. This is not true - the achievement gap between ethnicities is closing - but the emergent gap is more a function of economics (e.g. Bailey & Dynarski, 2011; Reardon et al., 2011). (This does not take away from the underlying point - the underlying gap exists and is frequently predicated on access to resources (see Krashen).

Great article, as a Wordpress dev guy I do take issue with this bit though:
'open source web browsers such as WebKit, Wordpress, and Buddypress'
None of those are browsers. Webkit is a browser engine, Wordpress is a CMS/Blogging platform and Buddypress is a suite of plugins for Wordpress.
Mozilla Firefox is however a browser, and open source. I suggest mentioning it as the browser, dropping the mention of Webkit entirely and making it clear that Wordpress is not a browser, but something you can use with your browser for awesome websites and blogs.
Washington, DC schools are better funded than most in the US, let alone the rest of the world, yet achieve very poor results. The fundamental problem is therefore not a lack of resources.

MIDLAND, MI — Two Midland-based law firms with a combined 112 years of legal experience, are joining forces beginning Jan. 1.
Wendy Kanar, a member of Cline Close Dyer, said the the joining together of the two firms technically is not a merger.
"Technically, merger is when two entities come together and actually what's happening is two groups of attorneys are coming together and forming something new," she said after the event Friday morning.
Bill Garchow, a member with Currie Kendall, said the two groups will work well together.
"We have a very similar kind of practice," Garchow said.
Kanar added, "It definitely makes a lot of sense to think about what we're offering our clients, and making sure that is of the highest quality."
Kanar said the two firms currently are the largest law firms in Midland. When they come together as one new firm in January, they will have nine active, full-time attorneys.
"It's really good to have back up," Garchow said. "… We obviously do our best to provide that, but by joining together and getting bigger we'll really be able to have more back up within the different practice areas so that as things change, there will always be a continuity."
Among Cline Close Dyer's largest clients are Dow Chemical Employee's Credit Union, Midland Center for the Arts, the Midland Area Chamber of Commerce and Greater Midland Community Centers Inc. The firm specializes in several areas of law, including property, business, employment, nonprofit, family, real estate and elder, as well as estate planning, collections, landlord-tenant relationships and probate and trust administration.
Among Currie Kendall's largest clients are Chemical Bank, Northwood University and MidMichigan Medical Center. The firm specializes in several areas of law, including tax, business, nonprofit, family, real estate, education, municipal, health care, intellectual property and elder, as well as estate planning, Medicaid planning and probate administration.
"There's really a lot of shared values between the two firms," Kanar said. "… We're all very involved and truly local."
Garchow sought to reassure clients of Currie Kendall, which was founded in 1905, that it's not going away.
"We're carrying with us the values, those traditions. We're still going to be the same type of firm, with the same type of clients, doing the same type of things," he said.
"But doing it in a better way, in a more complete way," added Kanar, whose firm was established in 2009.
The new firm is to be based out of Cline Close Dyer's current location, 143 McDonald St. in downtown Midland.
Garchow said Currie Kendall's members look forward to being downtown, where most of Midland's legal community is. Currie Kendall currently is located at 6024 Eastman Ave.
"I think we'll feel more connected," he said.
The new firm does not yet have a name.

As last year, I want to use this space to highlight some terrific films that came down the pike in the first six months of the year -- and merrily continued down the pike without anyone giving much of a damn. This happens to a host of deserving movies every year; given how much of a miracle it is when an indie actually takes off, there's no avoiding it. But these seven are eminently worth your time; at the very least, I promise they're interesting. Give them a shot.
1. Two Lovers (James Gray) -- Actually my favorite film of the year, this melancholy character study is carried out with such painstaking attention to detail that it becomes akin to one of Henry Selick's stop-motion miracles -- watching it inspires a sort of awe. This is James Gray's follow-up to We Own the Night, and Gray has announced himself as one of our most important newcomers, a master at creating living, breathing, populated, real universes for his characters to inhabit. [Now on DVD.]
2. Julia (Erick Zonca) - This movie barely saw theaters at all -- I saw it in a one-week run courtesy of our local Film Society -- but it might have been a decent investment for an actual distributor. Though it has someone profoundly unpleasant at its center -- the perpetually drunk and nasty title character, played by the incredible Tilda Swinton -- it eventually turns into a remarkably tense little thriller, complete with a classic kidnapping scenario and a chance for the rotten protagonist's redemption. [On DVD August 18th.] strong>3. Fired Up! (Will Gluck) - The odd flick out on a list mostly populated by indies and art films, this hilarious, subtly subversive "teen comedy" is better than virtually anyone gave it credit for. It's the kind of movie that plays at being stupid, but actually isn't, at all. I put "teen comedy" in scare quotes for a reason. [Now on DVD.]
4. The Broken(Sean Ellis) - I stand by what I said in this Public Service Announcement, written during The Broken's ill-fated run at the annual schlocky After Dark Horror Fest back in January. The movie rivals Drag Me to Hell as the year's best entry into the horror genre -- it's smart, insinuating, and incredibly creepy. It holds up on second viewing, too. Sean Ellis is a major new talent. [Now on DVD.]
5. Phoebe in Wonderland (Daniel Barnz) - Moving a bit further off the beaten track, this was an uncommonly thoughtful and intelligent take on mental illness, featuring nine-year old Elle Fanning -- Dakota's little sister -- in what is seriously one of the most astonishing child performances I have ever seen. A portrait of a young girl struggling with a condition that deliberately goes unnamed until the final minutes, the film is heartbreaking and refreshingly uncondescending. [Now on DVD.]
6. Sugar (Ryan Fleck & Anna Boden) - I am surprised this didn't catch on. An amiable (if sad), very entertaining drama with an appealing concept -- Dominican baseball prospect tackles the American minor leagues -- Sugar was ultimately too unconventional (and filled with unknowns) for mainstream success, but it might at least have built up a bit more arthouse steam before petering out. Anyway, this is a very auspicious follow-up for the folks behind Half Nelson, who I suspect will be well-known along the lines of David Gordon Green a few years hence. [On DVD September 1st.]
7. Tokyo Sonata (Kiyoshi Kurosawa) - This one was never going anywhere, commercially. A dramatic departure for acclaimed Japanese genre director Kiyoshi Kurasawa, Tokyo Sonata begins as a lovely, subtle dramedy, goes completely off the deep end in the last third, and then rebounds with one of the year's most perfect endings. [On DVD sometime in August.]

Dina Lohan has a message for her ex-husband Michael about some recent interviews, during which he's claimed their daughter Lindsay is abusing prescription pills: Stop discussing Lindsay's private life and focus on yourself.
Dina lashed back Saturday, telling PEOPLE: "Michael Lohan needs to focus on being a parent, paying child support, of which he is six months behind, and making up for all the years he was an absentee dad. And stop going on national television talking about his children publicly."
On Saturday, Michael told the photo agency X17, "I'm going to see the judge this week...If I can't get a conservatorship, then I'm going to take her to an undisclosed location and get her straight. But I know I'm gonna get charged [with] kidnapping."
And during a taping Thursday of The Maury Povich Show, Michael looked into the camera and relayed the following message to Lindsay: "I'm gonna do anything and everything I have to save your life, whether mom likes it, the public likes it, or anyone."
In response to Dina's comment, Michael tells PEOPLE: "She says I'm not focusing on being a good parent, but is she focusing on being a good parent?"
In fact, Michael says he's gone public for the sake of Lindsay. "Look, I know that sometimes in the past I've said things I shouldnt have," he admits. "[But right now] I have to help my child."
To that end, Michael says he's planning to meet with a judge and seek conservatorship, but a source tells PEOPLE that Lindsay herself plans to turn to the courts and seek a restraining order against her father.
"Lindsay is actively getting a restraining order, her lawyer have already been contacted," says the source. "She's scared. This is really serious."

Arts Onstage presents 'The Wedding Game'
DUVALL - Rockhopper Dance romps through an evening-length program exploring themes of love, relationships and marriage in their Nov. 18 performance at Cedarcrest Performing Arts Center in Duvall.
With their trademark athleticism, wit and style, these seven dancers take the audience on a journey through courtship and marriage rituals, American style. The torture of bridesmaids' dresses, a bootcamp for groomsmen and the chaos of the umpteenth toaster ‹ with a nod and a wink to anyone who has been through the process, they capture it all.
Rockhopper Dance is a distinctive collective that has quickly built a reputation for creating works that mesh wild humor with fearless dance technique in a way that makes the art of dance accessible to all audiences. This performance is part of the King County Performance Network, a unique collaboration between the King County Arts Commission and local arts agencies which brings music, dance and theater to rural and suburban venues throughout King County.
Currently in its fourth season, this national model of collaboration connecting artists and suburban communities offers affordable access to the region's very best performing artists and ensembles.
Tickets to The Wedding Game are available at Pumps and Grinds, Gardens and SunSpaces and Duvall Books in the Main Street shopping district in Duvall. To order by mail, send a self-addressed, stamped envelope and a check payable to the Duvall Arts Commission to: Duvall Arts Commission, P.O. Box 1300, Duvall, WA 98019.

Matthew Boyer is the Director of Development for the National Park Foundation, he is currently blogging from Katmai National Park & Preserve - a hot spot for bear activity in Alaska.
Katmai National Park & Preserve is located on the Alaska Peninsula, 290 miles southwest of Anchorage and a short distance from Kodiak Island. Katmai is one of the most remote parks in the national park system and was established in 1918 to preserve the famed Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes, a spectacular forty-square mile ash flow deposited by the Novarupta Volcano. We are joined by National Park Service Rangers who have shared their knowledge of Katmai's pristine waterways, ancient volcanoes, remote wilderness and of course, bears.
We got some great photos of bears doing what they do best, catching salmon. The park offers us the opportunity to witness an abundant brown bear population catching salmon during the famous Alaskan King Salmon run. Currently, the King Salmon are jumping over the falls at a rate of 130 per minute and the migratory activity of the salmon has caused as many as 14 bears to be spotted at the falls by park rangers in recent days.
The weather has been fairly cold, windy (temperature reaching no more than the high 40s), and cloudy but the experience in Katmai is providing lifetime memories for myself and the other members on the the National Park Foundation's Expedition to Katmai. National Park Foundation Expeditions are multi-day excursions to some of our nation's most beloved and sacred places – our national parks. Planned in detail with the National Park Service, each trip provides a unique experience for National Park Foundation donor to discover the history, legacy and challenges facing our national parks.

In Oil City, Pa., the school board members didn't just ban John Steinbeck's classic Of Mice and Men. They burned it. Cedar Lake, Ind. removed The American Heritage Dictionary from its high school because, among other things, a "bed" was defined as "a place for lovemaking." J.D. Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye has been expelled from more schools than Holden Caulfield. Issaquah, Wash, got rid of it after one citizen counted 785 profanities. "When a book has 222 'hells,' 27 'Chrissakes' and seven 'hornys'...then it shouldn't be in our public schools," she said. These are but three of 60 books that were banned between 1976 and 1980 in school and public libraries across the U.S. But the American Library Association is making sure they stay in circulation. Since last summer the association's Office of Intellectual Freedom has been sending an exhibit that proudly flaunts the 60 books—plus explanations of how they were banned—to any library that asks. The forbidden folios include everything from classics to contemporary best-sellers. Anaheim, Calif. disapproved of all of Shakespeare's works except Hamlet and Romeo and Juliet and all of Dickens' except Oliver Twist. A Westport, R.I. school official ruled One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest was "garbage." Gardner, Kans. couldn't digest a sex scene in Peter Benchley's Jaws, which is also why Miller, Mo. censored Aldous Huxley's book about censored thought, Brave New World. There is even a children's story on the list—Father Christmas, by Raymond Briggs, banned in Holland, Mich. because it portrays Santa in a bad light: He complains about bad weather. The ALA's Robert Doyle says the exhibit is booked through 1984. In May it will be in the Kanawha County (W.Va.) Public Library, in July at the American Library Association meeting in Philadelphia, in August at Alabama Agricultural and Mechanical University in Normal, in September in Kimball, Nebr.'s public library and in October at Henderson State University in Arkadelphia, Ark.

I think it would be good if the Joe-E verifier checked all Java projects in the workspace for packages with the @verified annotation and turned on verification for those packages. With only one switch, the programmer, and the reviewer, can be confident that if the @verified annotation is present, the code is being verified. If you have some spare cycles, adding a graphical annotation to verified packages in the Workspace view would be nice (similar to the way subclipse does).

Would the Joe-E verifier consult the .safej files, or the Policy class? I prefer the latter, so that the programmer can abandon the Joe-E toolset, other than the Joe-E library, if need be. Consulting the Policy class also ensures that the compile time behaviour is consistent with the runtime behaviour, which is a good thing. This implementation would also mean the verifier could run without a taming directory being configured. That configuration setting would only be needed if the programmer wanted to generate a new Policy class. > 6.

I like that the verifier is read-only and won't touch my code under any circumstances. Once you've got your first package-info.java file, you can propagate it to another package with a simple copy-paste operation. Eclipse is smart enough to update the contents of the file to match the new package. > What do you think?

JD Eicher and the Goodnights play at Discover Presque Isle
Nothing like working on your music and your tan at the same time. JD Eicher and the Goodnights know all about that; they seem to only play Erie if the gig is on the water.
They've played at Liberty Park and at the Sprint Sunset Music Series on Beach 1. They bring their well-crafted, melodic pop-rock originals to Discover Presque Isle on Saturday.
"I love the beach, and when I'm on vacation, I'm definitely looking for water," Eicher said. "I live in Youngstown, so it's not really a beach location.
"We had such a great time last year on the beach; it's a special show to play right on Presque Isle. So we're looking forward to coming back."
They'll bring more than beach towels. Eicher and the Goodnights finished a new CD in Nashville with producer Dustin Burnett (Rhett Walker Band, Augustana). The album won't be out until Sept. 10, but they've posted free downloads of two songs on their website for fans to sample.
Those who admire the literate, openhearted songwriting they showcased on "The Shape of Things" (2009) and "Shifting" (2011) needn't worry about them going country, though they recorded in Music City.
"It's definitely a pop-rock record, but there is a little bit of banjo, a little bit of that flavor," Eicher said. "We'll be playing a number of (new songs) in Erie, including the two on the sampler."
Eicher and the Goodnights also do a few covers: maybe "Fast Car" by Tracy Chapman, Paul Simon's "You Can Call Me Al," or Coldplay's "Yellow." But this is mainly an original band, one with an appealing, accomplished sound that showcases Eicher's intimate vocals and rippling keyboards. Their music won't make waves on the beach, but it will go down easy.
Though the band recorded in Nashville, Eicher has no plans to move there. "Right now, the plan is to stay the course. Stick where we are and see how the wind blows."
Hopefully, it won't blow too fiercely Saturday; a bonfire follows their set. MJT (5 p.m.), Fire & Ice (6:15 p.m.) and the Sam Hyman Band (7:30 p.m.) will precede Eicher.

The apartment was very clean, cozy and lovely!
Near to all important places like Eiffel tower, Champs Elysée, many restaurants and bars!
If you want to be at the heart of action, this apartment is great for your stay!
The host was very kind and helpful. You can always message him and he's involved to answer soon!
We'll definitely recommend this apartment and we're hoping to return soon!
My wife and I stayed in the studio for three weeks and enjoyed every minute of our stay. The studio is small but big enough to live in. The location could not be better. It is very close to two Metro stations, many shops and restros. The studio is very secure indeed. Our hosts were fantastic in every way, never hesitating to assist us when required. We go to Paris very often and will not hesitate to use the studio again.
I had a great time in the place . The room wad bigger than my expect and wifi was quite well. :) I recommend this place.
It was a lovely stay in Paris. A room is perfect for two. Location is absolutely convenient to reach Metro, Supermarket, Resturants or even Tour Eiffel. Also host is very nice, easy and helpful on information.
Exceptional location, service great, but a charming, little studio 100 meters from the Trocadéro, in a particularly quiet courtyard. Very clean, the kitchen is well equipped and, after a change of supplier, the Internet now works at lightning speed! The area is very safe and within a few hundred meters there are 2 metro stations, a bakery, restaurant, butcher and no less than five well-stocked supermarkets!
Only small downside, the sofa bed is not very comfortable (this is the least we can tell).
Situation exceptionnelle, accueil excellent, un charmant mais, petit studio à 100 mètres du Trocadéro, dans une cour particulièrement calme. Très propre, la cuisine est bien équipée et, après un changement de fournisseur, Internet fonctionne à présent à la vitesse de l'éclair! Le quartier est très sain et dans un rayon de quelques centaines de mètres on trouve 2 stations de métro, une boulangerie, des resto, une boucherie et pas moins de 5 supermarchés bien achalandés!
Seul petit bémol, le divan lit n'est pas très confortable (c'est le moins que l'on puisse dire).
clean, comfortable and quiet. internet works!
propre, confortable et calme. internet ça marche!
Very nice small apartment with all necessary amenities, in a good localization in the city. Lots of shops, restos & a market in a proximity. No problem with check-in and -out. We recommend!
Design and Jean-Michel were the best anfitrions! They treated us very well! super nice! No problem with them! Everything is prope and located in the best area. 1min Torre Eifflel. Thank you!
Conception et Jean-Michel ont été les meilleurs anfitrions! Ils nous ont accueilli très bien! super gentil! Pas de problème avec eux! Tout est prope et située dans le meilleur quartier. 1min Torre Eifflel. Merci!
The location is unbeatable (central and quiet neighborhood), to leave the building you can see the Arc de Triomphe on your left and 300 meters to your right you will see the Eiffel Tower from nearby. It has very close subway stops (Boisserie and Kebler line 6) and also find all kinds of services such as Carrefour city to a street, bakeries and restaurants.
The apartment is perfectly matched with the photos, the sofa bed is very comfortable and everything was fully functional.
The hosts were very friendly and helped us in everything we needed.
The only negative point, which do not give 5 stars was that during our stay the wifi did not work but we were given the option to use their wireless service in Paris called "FreeWiFi" which seemed to work for slots ... but they said they were in the process of solving the installation and the router if you are in the study.
La ubicación es inmejorable (barrio céntrico y tranquilo), al salir del edificio se puede ver el Arco del triunfo a tu izquierda y a 300 m hacia tu derecha podrás observar la Torre Eiffel desde muy cerca. Dispone de paradas de metro muy cercanas (Boisserie y Kebler de la línea 6) y además encuentras todo tipo de servicios como carrefour city a una calle, panaderias y restaurantes.
El apartamento se corresponde perfectamente con las fotos, el sofá cama es muy cómodo y todo era completamente funcional.
Los anfitriones fueron muy cordiales y nos ayudaron en todo lo necesario.
El único punto negativo, por el cual no le damos las 5 estrellas, fue que durante nuestra estancia el wifi no funcionaba pero nos dieron la alternativa de utilizar su servicio de wifi en París que se llama "FreeWifi" el cual parecia funcionar por franjas horarias...pero nos dijeron que estaban en proceso de solucionarlo ya que la instalación con el router si se encuentra en el estudio.

Florida closed out a grueling season by beating Penn State 37-24 in the Outback Bowl.
Forget that the Gators finish 8-5, Urban Meyer's worst record ever. Forget that Penn State is dreadful. Meyer, his assistants and …

When the head coach uses your name as a synonym for being lazy and not showing a full commitment to the team, that's a bad sign.
1:41 am Sep. 19, 2010
After winning 31-17 at Tennessee, the Gators are 3-0 and that's all that matters. Right?

Sounds like Hill is going to be back in the line-up this Saturday at Tennessee.
6:56 am Sep. 12, 2010
Someone sent me a tweet during Saturday's game asking, "where is will hill?" Answer is easy: chilling on the sideline. Again.
What I really want to know is where Hill was Monday through Friday last week.

Governor Sarah Palin has returned to Alaska. But her political future in both her home state and in Washington is the subject of widespread speculation.
For now, Palin says she's content with being the governor of her home state of Alaska. She has with no concrete plans to run for national office in 2012.
What does the future hold for Palin in politics? Click play for more insight from Regent University's Charles Dunn.
"Oh, you know, seems like it's so far, 2012," Palin said. "We'll be enrolling him in kindergarten. She'll be heading to, what, fifth grade, sixth grade by then? Those are my thoughts at this point as 2012 seeming a long way off today."
Mixed Reception at Home
Two months ago, Palin was the GOP's rising star, credited with energizing the party's conservative base and infusing new life into Arizona senator John McCain's presidential campaign.
But now that the election is over, Palin goes back to Alaska to a mixed reception.
"When she left, she was almost universally liked, universally approved of," explained Alaska pollster Ivan Moore. "Her approval rating was up over 80 percent. Then she went down onto the national campaign trail and her approval rating has come down to 60 percent and her negative rating has pretty much tripled."
And critical reports are tarnishing the governor's folksy small-town image. Fox News reported that anonymous sources inside the McCain campaign call Palin a "diva" who threw "tantrums." One even claimed that she did not know Africa was a continent, and not a country, when she was chosen as the Republican vice presidential candidate.
"That's kind of a small and bitter type of person who would anonymously charge that I didn't know an answer to a question," Palin responded. "So until I know who is talking about it, I won't have a comment on a false allegation."
Blamed for McCain's loss?
Some even blame Palin for McCain's loss. To that, Palin says no one should give her that much credit - to think her presence on the ticket would trump the economic crisis and cost McCain the election.
"Now having said that, if I cost John McCain even one vote, I'm sorry about that," she said. "John McCain, I believe, is the American hero. I had believed that it was his time."
Some political stragegists have advised Governor Palin to get away for a while, so people forget about the interviews, the Saturday Night Live skits - and the now-infamous wardrobe.
"If only people would know, come on up and travel with us to Alaska and see this "diva" lifestyle that i supposedly have or would demand," Palin said. "It's just false."
Many See Bright Future in the GOP
Despite a wave of negative press, many in the GOP still see a bright future for Palin in Republican politics. Many Alaskans also echo this view.
"I wouldn't be surprised if she's our next president," one resident said. "I really wouldn't. She's got all the innate qualities that would make a great leader. She really does."
Palin 2012 pins and t-shirts are already on sale in her hometown of Wasilla.
Upon returning to Anchorage, she was asked by reporters if she might run for president. Palin responded, "We'll see what happens then."
In the meantime, as governor of the nation's most energy-rich state, Palin says she ready to get down to business and help President-elect Obama hammer out a national energy policy.

A Correspondent
Jhenidah: A man was chopped to death by miscreants following a conflict over a social matter at Shingnagar village in Shailakupa upazila on Saturday morning.
The deceased was identified as Abu Sayeed Mandal,55, son of late Bhedai Mandal of the village.
Ashikur Rahman, second officer of Shoilakupa Police Station, Sayeed had enmity with Rabiul Islam, a member of the union parishad, over a social matter for long.
As a sequel to the enmity, a group of men chopped Sayeed with sharp weapons indiscriminately at about 8:00 am while he was going to local Benibazar by a bicycle, leaving him critically injured.
Sayeed was first taken to Shoilakupa Upazila Health Complex and then shifted to Kushtia Medical College Hospital as his condition deteriorated.
Later, Sayeed died on way to Kushtia Medical College Hospital at about 9:00am.
Since after the incident, a tense situation has been prevailing in the area.
Additional police members were deployed in the area to avoid further trouble.
A case was filed in this connection.

I'm conducting a survey on how people use UI patterns. Specifically, I'm
curious about whether people use the patterns in "Designing Interfaces" in
the ways that I thought they'd be used. Are they used as design advice?
Brainstorming tools? A lingua franca? Design instruction?
Anybody know how to convert an interactive flash file to SVG?
I'm not seeing that magical "export to SVG" option in Flash 8.

Sentencing can send message
October 22, 2013
Matthew Cordle apparently is sincere in his remorse about killing a man in a drunken driving accident. The judge handling his case should ignore that entirely....
We are expected to take troubled childhoods, bad priests, abusive parents, and the like into consideration to reduce the sentences of people purposefully committing crimes, but we are not to consider the person manning up and taking responsibility for a terrible, but not malicious, decision into consideration?
Honest people who have screwed up but now are wanting to do the right thing are watching this thing also.
What message are you sending to them?
2 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Editorial translation--remorse should not be factored in to sentencing--honesty and coming forward should not ever be factored in to mitigate against a MAXIMUM sentence. Ludicrous piece! THIS is journalism???

Horrible tragedy and sad for everybody involved. Not only did this young man take a life now his life is ruined. Drunk people tend to make bad choices. Do we always punish them to maximum allowed under the law? Should we look for ways to alter their behavior? It is a matter that has been questioned by many much smarter that you or I Mr. Ed. Yes, drinking alcohol is a choice, but nobody believes that they will do such things. Once such things happen messages should be clear, it was a choice. A bad choice. Now this young man will more than likely be a burden to society for the rest of his life. Many formative years will spent learning to survive in a subculture.

Caramelized Scallop Salad
By Marcus Samuelsson | February 9, 2015
When I started cooking, I was always taught that scallops should be poached or quickly cooked and served in a terrine, techniques I never thought did justice to the sweet nuttiness of this delicate shellfish. I much prefer the more modern method of searing or caramelizing scallops, which really let's their flavor come through. In this luxurious seafood salad, honey intensifies the natural sweetness of the scallops, while the ketjap manis turns it into a refreshing play on salty and sweet.

Likely just ketosis if you're way low on carbs. It's a good thing! Just keep brushing! Lol
I started with an elimination diet for a month and have pretty kept going but with a paleo mindset since - a little over 2 months total now. I dont eat many carbs, really just dried fruit with nuts as a snack and an apple most days. If I have gluten-free pizza or something like that I typically have it right after a hard workout.
Today my hubby very politely told me that my breath smelled different for the past two days and also about 4 months ago (did low carb off and on prior to making this change)....he described it as spoiled milk - as I put a piece of gum in my mouth lol
I also ran out of my probiotic two days ago so Im not sure if its ketosis or extra bacteria due to the missing probiotic....thoughts??
Side note - stopped losing weight (only 5-10 to go I think) despite staying very active....eating nuts/almond butter 1-2x a day and wonder if that may be the culprit? Any suggestions would be helpful
Likely just ketosis if you're way low on carbs. It's a good thing! Just keep brushing! Lol
I remember when first going low-carb getting the "acetone" breath. don't get it anymore though
Paleo since November 2011 - Carnivore since June 2012

While she hasn't spoken directly about their relationship, she does reveal in a new interview what she wants in a mate.
"I look for all the same things I would in a friend," she says in the February issue of InStyle. "Obviously, you need the sexual attraction too, so it's like your best friend who you are also really attracted to."
Portman, 29, also confesses to an adventurous streak. Asked what she'd do if she could be anonymous for one day, she has a surprising answer: "I would make out in the park!"
"That's the thing I would most enjoy doing in New York, and it's something I'll never do," she adds. "I'd also have loud, public conversations with my friends about personal things. Even if no one is paying attention – and most of the time, no one cares – you never know who is at the next table."
She also cringes at the "super-awkward" solo sex scene she did for Black Swan, saying, "anyone who tells you otherwise is not being honest ... or they're a little off!"
As for what's on her to-do-list for the next 10 years, the actress – who also stars in the upcoming romantic comedy No Strings Attached, with Ashton Kutcher – says she wants to be "in a happy relationship, with children."
It seems that Portman, who is pregnant with her first child, is on her way to achieving that goal.

Board OKs policies
Carrie Moore
Published: Thursday, February 14th, 2013
In a short meeting on Monday night, the Custer School District Board of Education approved two district-wide school plans and the superintendent updated the board on school security measures.
The board unanimously approved the safe and drug free school policy, which would include synthetic drugs and prescription medicines.
"I know we have a no tolerance policy, but sometimes there are certain situations and they don't mean to," said Alan Webster, regarding the weapons topic address in the policy. "Think we can do something on that?"
"You're not objecting to including firearms and knives, just that it's a not tolerance policy?" Anne Sandvig asked.
"I think maybe we can have a committee for this topic and have a hearing with the student where we can decide punishment," Webster said.
"The frustration in writing policies is the wording," Tom Martin said. "You can't word something to excuse an accident. What's going to happen is somebody will bring a knife in expecting it to be an accident? Common sense should prevail."
"Items, other than firearms, determined to be a weapon are also illegal and will be dealt with in a serious manner," superintendent Scott Lepke read from the policy. "So somebody has to determine if it's a weapon, but I think at the same time, I think there's a difference between a gun and a pocket knife.

It would be nice if this article stated the entire policy that was approved. A handufl of random quotes does not particularly make interesting or informative reading. If you're writing a teaser for the print edition you may want to at least state that the full policy is outlined in the print edition.

Sen. Bill Proxmire & Ellen: They Split Their Ticket, Then Figured 'Married Is Better'
Any objective observer would empathize with Ellen, instigator of the temporary break. Proxmire is by all accounts demonically dedicated to the service of his constituents but hell as a husband. He prides himself on having never missed a roll call—he is now past 3,700, setting all-time American records for Senate attendance and, no doubt, for missing family meals. And as Washington's leading fitness freak, Bill arises at 5:30 a.m. every day, runs (not jogs) the 4.7 miles to work and also gets in a swim. All totaled, he sometimes consumes as many weekly waking hours (at least two a day) exercising as he spends with his wife.
But the Proxmires found the singles situation even more untenable than marriage. For her part, Ellen concluded that "someone who is my age"—she is 50—"can't really date. I just felt silly. Washington can be a cruel town, and because my name is Proxmire I was never disassociated from Bill." Proxmire suffered his share of mortification. When he went into cosmetic surgery to unpack the bags under his eyes and resod his eroding hairline and deleted his birthdate from the Congressional Record (it's Nov. 11, 1915), all he proved was a vanity as towering as the Washington Monument. "I was unhappy during the separation," he recalls. So now he talks almost as if it never took place. "Some married couples say, why don't we try twin beds instead of a double bed? We just went a little further and said, 'Let's live in separate houses.' "
What mended their fences, Ellen believes, "was the gradual realization that we had invested a lot of years in each other and had more in common than not. I've known Bill since 1949." Their son, Douglas, now 13, whom she says was "devastated" by the split, took his parents to school activities and promoted Sunday suppers together. (During the separation, the Proxmires lived in houses on the same street so Douglas could walk back and forth daily.) Last December, on their 18th wedding anniversary, Ellen wrote Bill a long letter which said, "maybe we should rethink all of this." "It was hard for Ellen to be married to this senator," Proxmire now owns up. "It's a difficult, cruel, one-sided life. A wife knows that when she makes a mistake it's harmful, but it is hard for her to do anything that gets much credit. All her talents were submerged. I did all the taking, and she did all the giving."
Of course, Proxmire never promised Ellen the White House rose garden. His father, a physician from Lake Forest, Ill., sent him away to Hill School (where he was voted "biggest grind"), Yale (where his football coach was a law student named Jerry Ford) and Harvard Business School. Bill took a reporter's job in Wisconsin and stumped successfully for the state assembly. He was divorced by his first wife, heiress Elsie Rockefeller (with whom he has two grown children). Ellen, a campus beauty queen and Phi Bete at the University of Wisconsin, was a Wisconsin Democratic party official and a divorced mother of two when Bill proposed to her during the 1956 national convention.
At the time, Ellen figured there was no chance of his getting elected to high office since he had lost three races for the state governorship. But then, with Ellen drafted as his skillful if unpaid campaign manager, Bill won an upset victory in 1957 to fill the Senate term of Joe McCarthy, who had died. Once in office, Proxmire returned to Wisconsin every weekend (as he still does at least once a month) to build his now unassailable popularity. (He runs up almost 80 percent majorities against the GOP's sacrificial challengers.) "I remember feeling resentful," she says, of her husband's go-go life, and so in 1964 she dramatically dropped all of her political and philanthropic committees and tried her own therapy—"six, seven, eight hours a day of tennis"—before finally asking for the separation in 1971. Meanwhile, she and several other Capitol Hill wives spun a social consulting service, Washington Whirl-Around, into a $200,000-a-year business advising everyone from convention planners to mothers-of-the-bride ("Use paper rose petals; people slip on real ones").
In the Senate, Proxmire was steadily outgrowing his reputation as an ineffective mouth-off to become one of the chamber's most respected non-clubby members. He led floor fights against Pentagon profligacy and the supersonic transport and now chairs both the Senate Banking and Joint Economic Committees. Off the Senate floor, Proxmire is no less intensely combative. "I'll kill myself to beat a guy swimming laps next to me," he admits, and when he started playing golf with his duffer son, he discovered to his horror that "competition even creeps into that." An aide who travels with Proxmire says, "When I wake up I can hear him thumping away, hitting the floor with his daily 200 push-ups."
The compromise that reunited the Proxmires, Bill admits, was "mostly hers." He shows no signs of curing his workaholicism, and Wisconsin cynics cracked that it merely meant Proxmire was gunning again for the Presidency. "He really gets his batteries charged shaking hands," says aide Tom Pattison, but another staffer believes that the senator turns off in personal relationships. "The closer I got, the further away he stayed."
As for his marriage, Proxmire admits, "Maybe she's spoiling me again by being too easy." But Ellen notes, "He doesn't put a fence around me. He doesn't require that I be here when he walks in the door at night. If I want to go skiing for two weeks, he doesn't mind." Though she rarely makes home-state visits, Ellen is going back to Wisconsin this month to help in his upcoming campaign. "Bill really needs me," she sums up, "and I like being needed."

My kids have been taking their probiotics like champs every morning now that we were provided with samples of Choc-V's. The probiotic comes in a white chocolate flavor which is free of artificial colors or preservatives, instead what it does have is 1 billion microflora.
I'm not a health expert, so I'll let you do your own research on why your child may benefit from a probiotic. However if you do find yourself looking for one, these certainly are a tasty version.

In March, 2008, Canadian-British artist and filmmaker Zev Robinson started a video documentary on how the grapes in the Utiel-Requena region of Valencia, Spain where he currently resides made their way into a bottle of wine that he would buy when he lived in London.
He then discovered that the relatively unknown Bobal grape is not found anywhere else in the world, that it has a unique flavour, and that the region is undergoing a socio-economic transformation. The Bobal was once used to profitably produce bulk wine, but the price of grapes are now in free fall, and the small grape growers who have traditional dominated the production in the area are elderly with no one to take over the land.
At the same time, small wineries have sprung up over the last couple of decades, creating quality bottled wine using the Bobal grape and promoting its unique taste and qualities. With his background as an artist, Zev Robinson takes a personal approach to the work, concerned as much with the formal aspects as with its content. There is no narrator and the interviewees - grape growers, winery owners, wine makers, and others speaking of their situations and sometimes conflicting concerns - are woven together with strong, poetic images of the whole process of wine-making from the growth of the grapes to wine being imported to London.

ZZ Top, Skynyrd to rock downtown Erie on Sunday
ZZ Top's Billy Gibbons agreed to answer some questions by e-mail about the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame band's upcoming new album ("La Futura," out Tuesday) and rich history. His answers were way too fun to trim, so here they are, verbatim, including his own guacamole recipe. Take that with a grain of salt -- and mucho jalapenos -- and read on.
Q "La Futura" is ZZ Top's first album in nine years. What was the band aiming for, sound-wise, with this one? The band dug down deep to tag the essence of that original ZZ Top sound -- you know, low-down, dirty and L-O-U-D. We kind of had in mind the most elemental of approaches -- we just banded together and played until it felt right. Then, we did it all over again. And again.
Q You worked with Rick Rubin, who has amassed quite a legacy as a producer. Did you see eye-to-eye (or ear-to-ear)? Often when we thought we "had it," he'd counter that we "almost have it, now!" So we found ourselves going back to give it another shot, or two, or five, and invariably, the result was an improvement. It was, essentially, a fairly smooth process and, as noted, somewhat time consuming yet, ultimately, worth the effort.
Q Which ZZ Top album do you think is most underappreciated, one you wish people would go back and listen to and why? "Rhythmeen." It's ZZ Top's true "trio" record ... just the three of us with no overdubs. Really close to the bone. It kind of got caught up in label shake-ups at the time yet it stands up stridently today. Give a listen.
Q Keith Richards inducted ZZ Top into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. How far do you go back with him? ZZ Top has shared the bill with the Rolling Stones on several occasions. The first time (was) in Hawaii and that was, to borrow, a phrase, an adventure in paradise. Keith is so much the "fine guy" and a real music lover. Given the choice of Champagne and caviar or listening to a Jimmy Reed record, I'm pretty sure he'd go with Jimmy Reed. Our adventures with the Stones over the years have become epic -- particularly the fully approved, side-stage dice games during any performance of "Tumbling Dice." Charlie Watts can keep a backbeat and a keen eye to certify fair play of the bones!
Q Is it true Jimi Hendrix befriended you when you were young? Tell us about that. Yes, our pre-ZZ band, The Moving Sidewalks, toured with the Experience, which revealed that Jimi was one of the warmest guys you'd ever want to meet. Unlike his stage persona, he was rather quiet and shy. We were with him when the Jimi Hendrix Experience played the Forum in L.A. A day or two before the show, we jumped in a hi-rider 1951 Jeep station wagon with Jimi at the wheel and towed a mobile billboard advertising the show. Nobody along the Sunset Strip was aware that the headline attraction was cruising up the street toting a giant sign promoting the show!
Q Over 40 years with the same lineup; that's probably a rock and roll record. What kept you going, kept the group together? We're often asked this question and have given it some thought now that we're considered "beaters of the odds and beaters of the backbeat." The plain fact is that we have a good time doing what we do -- playing music around the world, recording, etc., so we've never thought about anything beyond that. It's still a done excursion into modified mayhem, so why stop now? Lots of bands break up only to get back together, so you might want to consider the past three or four decades as our reunion tour, even though we've never really stopped.
Q I understand you're quite a cook. What's your favorite meal to prepare? Gotta be Rev Willy's Killa Dilla Renegade Guacamole. Maybe not a full meal, but when you add chips and beer it's got lots of food groups covered. Here's the recipe: Fistfuls of avo's (avocados). Good grinding of garlic. Stealthy helpings of jalapenos. Kilos of queso. A load of limes. Salt. Pepper. Ground cumin. Cayenne. Carloads of crispy chips. Slice, dice, whack, hack, swirl. Get yo' girl, and you got it.

Neither rain, nor lightening nor Mandeville kept sixth-seeded St. Paul's from taking a trip to the Class 5A State Baseball Tournament at Denham Springs this weekend.
A 75-minute rain delay and deficits through five innings wasn't enough to faze St. Paul's. The Wolves came from behind and beat rival Mandeville 11-9 in the Class 5A regional round. The Wolves will play the winner of Byrd-Denham Springs on Friday.
St. Paul's had defeated Mandeville 13-3 and 13-6 in the regular-season, but this time it was much harder. The Wolves didn't take the lead until a 3-run homer by Christian Spansel in the sixth, but they kept hammering and hammering. St. Paul's scored 36 runs in two playoffs games.
Patrick Donnelly iced the game with his second home run, one of the Wolves' 15 hits. Donnelly, the leading hitter in the metro area, had three hits and drove in three runs.
Mandeville made the Wolves' nervous, though, getting a leadoff single in the bottom of the seventh while trailing by two. But with a runner on second, Hickman struck out two and a line drive out ended it.
The Skippers struck first, scoring two runs after an error on a potential double-play gave them a second chance. Mandeville's Kody Keowen led off with a walk, but Garrett Cannizaro lived on the error. That ground ball left Keowen on third and Cannizaro on first.
James Winget followed with a double tht scored both against St. Paul's starter Christian Tent.
St. Paul's came back to tie it in the second. Spansel walked and Patrick Huval followed with a single. Beau Trist drove in Spansel and Huval to make it 2-2.
But Mandeville came back with a home run by starting pitcher Lee Batchelder to break the tie in the bottom of the inning and added two more in the bottom of the third on a two-run homer by Winget, for his third RBI.
Then the rain and the lightening and rain came. The game was delayed 75 minutes.
When the teams returned, with a wet outfield and a damp infield, Batchelder faced runners on first and second and one out. He the first batter to ground out, but that was it for him. Nick Hummel doubled in two to pull the Wolves within one and Patrick Donnelly followed with a run-scoring double for a 5-5 tie .Mandeville pulled Batchelder at that point.
That tie didn't last long. In the bottom of the inning against St. Paul's reliever Jason Greenleaf, the Skippers got xxx runs. Thomas Anderson, a transfer from St. Paul's, led off with a bunt single. After an o ut, Josh Goodwin singled, then Anderson scored on Keowen's double to make it 6-5 Mandeville. Then Michael Pustanio was hit by Greenleaf to load the bases with one out.
Cannizaro, the Skippers No. 3 hitter, was hit in the head on the next pitch, scoring one to make it 7-5. But Winget ripped a one-hopper to Greenfield who threw home for one and St. Paul's catcher Hummel threw out Winget for the final out of the fourth leaving it at a two-run lead. Cannizaro went back into the field.
The Wolves came back in the top of the fifth to load the bases with none out. Huval struck out for the first out against reliever Joey Pajares, but Trist hit a shot off Pajares' leg that scored one and left the bases loaded still. Designated hitter Keller Douglas flew out to first base and Eric Guidry struck out leaving St. Paul's trailing 7-6.
Mandeville loaded the bases in the bottom of the fifth with no one out, but only got one in to make it 8-6.
St. Paul's continued to fight back, with Donnelly cutting the lead in half with a solo home run in the top of the sixth, his ninth of the season. That made it 8-7 in Mandeville's favor and brought on Cannizaro to pitch. The Wolves finally took the lead on a 3-run home run by Spansel that made it 10-8 in the sixth. The Wolves scored four in the inning on five hits.
That left Ryan Hickman as the pitcher of record, with two innings to take care of qualifying for the state tournament.
Mandeville cut the lead in half on a solo home run by Pajares in the bottom of the sixth to make it 10-9. St. Paul's added the Donnelly home run in the seventh

Walworth County Circuit Court officials say the 52-year-old man is expected to appear in court Friday. He's being held on two counts of hiding a corpse.
The county's district attorney, Daniel Necci, says formal charges are not expected Thursday because he hasn't yet received the case from investigators.
The private security officer was arrested Wednesday when detectives wearing hazmat suits removed bags of evidence and a refrigerator from his suburban Milwaukee apartment.
Authorities say the remains of 37-year-old Laura Simonson, of Farmington, Minnesota, and another unidentified female were found June 5 in two suitcases discarded along a rural road in the Town of Geneva.

NORTHAMPTON – During National Volunteer Appreciation Week, April 10 – 16, Cooley Dickinson Hospital recognizes the efforts of its 400+ volunteers and celebrates the contribution volunteers have had on the hospital's operations over the past 125 years.
A volunteer recognition luncheon is planned for Tuesday, April 19 at The Log Cabin banquet facility in Holyoke, and members of the media are invited to attend this event.
From January through December 2010, 419 volunteers logged 40,120 hours by working in 22 different hospital departments and at offsite locations. Volunteers donate their time in the Coffee and Gift shops and at information desks. They provide comfort and care in the Emergency Department, deliver mail, assist Surgical Day Care staff, fold gowns, and serve as patient representatives to help with patient satisfaction. In the past two years, Cooley Dickinson has seen a 20% increase in the number of volunteers.
Over the past many decades, volunteers assisted in other areas that have since been altered to keep up with technology. Before digital cameras became common, volunteers took pictures of the newborn babies for families. Volunteers also assisted in the "Tel-Med" program, a phone service in which patients could call in to find out about something from the hospital and listen to a tape with the information. This later became a phone service run by volunteers for patients. Volunteers also used to make physician referrals by phone. Today, CDH offers a free, round-the-clock physician referral service that is available via the CDH website as well as a toll-free number that people can call to find a Cooley Dickinson-affiliated provider.
[img_assist|nid=668|title=Dorothy Hurley|desc=|link=none|align=right|width=250|height=283]
Dorothy Hurley, a former nurse for 20 years at CDH, has been volunteering for 24 years. Hurley first volunteered for the Tel-Med program before moving on to physician referrals, and later the Emergency Department. She now volunteers at the main staircase information desk where she answers phones, directs patients and works with Hampshire Health Connect.
When asked what she thought of the volunteering experience, Hurley said that she has found volunteering "very interesting and very rewarding. I've enjoyed every minute of it."
Says Robin Kline, director of Volunteer Services: "Volunteers over the years have been a creative and sustaining force at the hospital. They have raised funds, assisted staff and created good will in the community they serve. We look forward to the next 100 years together."
Throughout 2011, Cooley Dickinson Hospital celebrates its 125th anniversary. On January 1, 1886, Cooley Dickinson Hospital opened its doors to the "sick and poor of Hatfield, Northampton and Whately, where they could be tenderly and kindly cared for without charge." Through a generous bequest, Caleb Cooley Dickinson, a distant cousin of poet Emily Dickinson, donated his estate to fund the construction of the original hospital, which was a two and a half story wooden structure with a slate roof that was built on 10 acres of the former Denniston farm.
