The spectrometer on INTEGRAL (SPI) is a coded-aperture gamma-ray telescope with moderate angular resolution (3 deg) and superior energy resolution (2 keV at 511 keV). One of it's principal science goals is the detailed study of 511 keV electron-positron annihilation from our Galaxy. The origin of this radiation remains a mystery, however current morphological studies suggest an older stellar population. There has also been recent speculation on the possibility of the existence of light (< 100 MeV) dark matter particles whose annihilation or decay could produce the observed 511 keV emission. In this paper we summarize the current results from SPI, compare them with previous results and discuss their implication on possible models for the production of the annihilation radiation. INTEGRAL is a project of ESA. This work was supported by NASA and CNES.

The parking situation is not ideal. Unless you purchase a parking pass there is no available parking except for the pay lots, which have a four hour maximum. It's outrageous they do not offer a place for guests to park free of charge on campus, even something with a far walk would be better than having nothing at all.
The parking permit cost is a little on the high end for the year. A car is not a necessity on campus, it is helpful on weekends to go out but there are buses that take students around campus if needed as well as to stores on specific routes and schedules. The lots do fill up quickly and it can be quite a walk if a student does not get back early enough.
I've never stayed in a dorm at NDSU, so I'm not sure how far parking is in relation to those buildings. Permits cost 150 or so for the semester (less for the Dome permits if you're okay with riding a shuttle), and are good for usually one or two lots. Pick your lot wisely in relation to your classes. You don't want a permit good for the R lots when all of your classes are in CJPP. People double-park frequently, especially in the winter. Tickets seem to be handed out more frequently for a forgotten permit than for double-parking.
On Campus Residents get the best parking permits. Their parking Lots are close to their dorm and also close to the class rooms. There is very limited availability for commuting students to park around campus, and are furthest away from the classes.
I heard that it is hard to find spots that don't get tickets

Four years ago, Jermaine Jones made a decision that would have a significant impact on the U.S. national team.
In 2009, FIFA adopted a new rule that allowed players to switch national teams if they hadn't participated in any competitive matches. Jones, the son of an American serviceman who was born in Germany, sensed an opportunity.
Utilizing his dual-national status, Jones immediately called the United States Soccer Federation to see if then-coach Bob Bradley had any interest in him joining the American squad. A stellar defensive midfielder for Schalke, one of the Bundesliga's top sides, Jones saw a chance to help the United States improve after failing to break into the German national team. Bradley did his due diligence.
"Bob had asked his son Michael to speak with me. After we talked, Bob called me to meet me," Jones told Goal. "When he came, he was talking about commitment and I told him I would give him my 100 percent for the United States."
That decision would open up opportunities for more German-Americans with situations similar to Jones'.
Timothy Chandler, Danny Williams, Fabian Johnson and Terrence Boyd all followed in Jones' footsteps into the U.S. pool. Johnson and Chandler have become crucial starters for the Red, White and Blue, and Williams and Boyd are important squad players. Bundesliga starlets Joel Anthony Brooks and Shaun Parker could be next in line for the U.S. team, which is now coached by German soccer legend Jurgen Klinsmann.
Jones isn't sure if he played a role in his fellow German-Americans joining the United States, but the sometimes boastful -- and, shall we say... self-assured -- 31-year-old is happy if he made the decision easier for his colleagues.
"Now, you see guys like Danny Williams and the younger guys come. Yeah, I'm proud of this," Jones said. "America is a big country with a growing team and to have guys from the German league joining the team, it's the perfect way to step on and [improve].
"The four [German] players who play on the U.S. are good players in the Bundesliga, so I think it's perfect."
There have been a number of negative opinions voiced about the inclusion of German-Americans under Bradley and Klinsmann.
"Players on the national team should be -- and this is my own feeling -- they should be Americans," Bruce Arena, who is widely considered to be the best head coach in U.S. history, said.
The prevailing feeling is: If foreign-born players don't understand or appreciate American culture, why should they be representing the U.S. national team?
The situation wasn't helped when Chandler wavered back and forth over deciding whether or not to play for the USA before finally cap-tying himself to the CONCACAF nation in a World Cup qualifying match against Honduras earlier this year, though he denies that he was waiting for a call to play for Germany.
Still, Jones disagrees with the critics.
"For me, I'm happy to put the jersey on. I see myself as half German and half American," Jones said. "At that time [when I made my decision], I was glad to play in Germany but excited to get to go play in America for the U.S. national team. I was proud to be a German-American."
Jones' style of play and lifestyle also prove the contrary to many critics who claim foreign-born players are freelance mercenaries just looking for an opportunity. In his 28 games for the U.S. national team, there has never been a game in which he has been criticized for a perceived lack of effort. Heck, there's even a drinking game in his honor for his rugged play and hard tackles that lead to yellow cards.
In his offseasons away from Schalke, Jones and his wife and children reside in Los Angeles, where he has owned a home for three years. Jones says that he's thrilled whenever he returns back stateside as he feels like the American way of life is more comfortable than what he experiences back in Germany.
"I love the people of America. They are chill, easy going, nice people. Compare it to Germany, where if you are on the street and say to a stranger, 'Hey whats up, how are you doing,' they look at you like you are crazy. 'I don't know you.' In the States, it's more comfortable. I love that. That's why I bought my house there three years ago.
"I've always said once I'm done with Schalke, I'm coming to live in the United States. I have a lot of friends now in the United States."
In fact, Jones' plan to move to the United States could be determined by Major League Soccer. Jones is confident that he can have the same impact on the league that stars David Beckham and Thierry Henry had. (I did mention that he's a bit on the boastful side).
"I have one year remaining on my contract with Schalke and I've always looked at what's going on with MLS. Maybe I can help the MLS go on [and improve] like Henry and Beckham," Jones said. "I've played a lot of games in Germany and who knows what can happen. I'll see with teams in MLS, maybe I can [find a good fit] where I can help a team when my contract's done in Germany."
He added: "I've got my house in Los Angeles along with Germany. It's easiest to say then, 'OK, I want to play for Chivas USA or LA Galaxy.' But it's open, I don't put my eyes on one or two teams where I can play. My [U.S.] teammates tell me that there are a lot of good cities in the States."
In a country where its identity can often be complex, forged from a multitude of cultures and ideologies, Jones is no different from the thousands of people who arrive each year looking for new opportunities. Contrary to what has been written in some reports where the German players rate themselves higher than American teammates, Jones is happy to play for a talented team that features several American-born stars.
"We have a lot of players playing in competitions outside of America and in America, too," Jones noted before listing several American talents who could play in any top league, including Bradley, Tim Howard, Jozy Altidore, Landon Donovan and Clint Dempsey, among others.
Jones' willingness to assimilate is genuine, and based on his performances for the national team, he has lived up to the promise that he gave Bradley four years ago.
He has given his all and the United States and its fans should be happy to accommodate players like him.
Free Kicks:
Jones' feelings on U.S.'s potential to match other world contenders in soccer:
Jones has the unique perspective of playing both for a World Cup contender in Germany in friendlies and playing for the United States. When asked about what the U.S. has to do to match Germany in the future, here was what Jones had to say:
"I think in the U.S. now, soccer is a step lower [in popularity] from other sports," Jones explained. "Soccer in Germany is No. 1. In America, you have basketball, baseball, American football, you have a lot of options that push soccer down. I think it's difficult [to match a team like Germany]. But in the last World Cup, the U.S. proved it's getting better."
Goal readers rank Clint Dempsey as the greatest U.S. soccer player ever:
In the latest Goal poll, Dempsey slightly edged Donovan 1448 to 1373 votes. Just based on results, it's clear to see where Goal's demographics lie. Neither U.S. midfielder Claudio Reyna nor Alex Lalas garnered more than 227 votes and Cobi Jones and Eric Wynalda couldn't muster more than 96 votes. Those stats could point to either a younger audience or it could also suggest fans believe that this current generation of United States stars has eclipsed its predecessors in talent and skill. Personally, I wonder if this poll was taken in 2010, would the results be different?
Dempsey has had three stellar seasons in the English Premiership which could have swayed opinion. Factor that in with Donovan's recent U.S. absence due to injuries and his decision to contemplate retirement at the end of last year, it's clear that the discussion has changed significantly since the last World Cup.
Is Dempsey's season a disappointment if he doesn't play in the Champions League next year?
The biggest question for Americans abroad during this European season has been whether or not Dempsey is a disappointment during his first year at a top European club.
Personally, there's no argument. From the attacking midfield role, Dempsey is third on Tottenham's scoring charts behind Gareth Bale and Jermaine Defoe with 12 goals in all competitions and also added four assists. Yes, Dempsey's Premier League goal total is down from 17 goals at Fulham to seven goals this season, but there are plenty of factors behind that.
Last year at Fulham, Dempsey was the Cottagers' sole focus on offense and as result, he received a lot more touches on the ball. At Tottenham, the combination of highly coveted superstar Gareth Bale and English international Aaron Lennon on both flanks limited Dempey's opportunities to affect outcomes for Spurs. Factor that in with the natural slow adjustment to not playing in preseason due to a prolonged transfer battle between Fulham and Liverpool and there's a explanation of why the U.S. international's numbers didn't match his career year of 2011-12.
Bigger things should be expected of Dempsey's second year with Tottenham.
Reacting to Donovan's snub for the United States national team:
I'm torn on this subject.
In terms of ability and talent, Landon Donovan clearly deserves to be on the U.S. national team. But at the same time, I understand Jurgen Klinsmann's need to establish alternatives on the U.S. roster. It's hard to depend solely on a player who has featured in only eight of Klinsmann's 25 games in charge and has legitimately pondered ending his career at 31 years of age.
Growing up as a Knicks fan and seeing Patrick Ewing sit out certain regular season games (with large piles of ice on both knees, I should add) to save his energy and perform for playoff games makes me very aware of the value of veteran leadership. It might be in Donovan's favor to publicly clarify where he sees his future moving forward.

ESCAP/WMO Typhoon Committee Considers Climate Change Impacts
6 February 2013: The 45th session of the UN Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UNESCAP)/World Meteorological Organization (WMO) Typhoon Committee considered, inter alia, urban flood risk management, cyclone renaming, severe weather forecasting, an assessment report on the influence of climate change on tropical cyclones.
At the session, which took place from 29 January to 1 February 2013, in Hong Kong, China, the Typhoon Committee noted its new publication, "The Second Assessment Report on the Influence of Climate Change on Tropical Cyclones in the Typhoon Committee Region," a summary and analysis of research by member States on the long-term trends of tropical cyclone activity in the western North Pacific basin. According to WMO, the region claims the world's highest tropical cyclone activity, and in 2012 alone experienced 25 events at "Tropical Storm" intensity or higher.
The report concludes that the influence of climate change on tropical cyclone activity remains uncertain, given the difficulty of distinguishing between the relative contributions of natural variations and climate change linked to human activity, and calls for further research to clarify these factors. The report also notes changes in regional tropical cyclone activity, and its review of available studies on future projections for tropical cyclone activity indicates that more models project decreases than increases in frequency, but most project an increase in intensity and precipitation rates.
During the session, the Typhoon Committee also noted the completion of a best-practice guideline in the mitigation of urban flood risks under the Urban Flood Risk Management Project, and discussed intentions to focus on the implementation plan of the Synergized Standard Operating Procedures for Coastal Multi-Hazards Early Warning System. They also discussed plans to enhance the Typhoon Committee Disaster Information System, a database of tropical cyclone-related damage data and statistics from members. In its annual review of tropical cyclone names, the Committee discontinued the use of "Washi," the Severe Tropical Storm that devastated the Philippines in December 2012, and replaced it by "Hato."
The Typhoon Committee offers a forum for international collaboration to build disaster resilience and mitigate the impacts of tropical cyclones in the Asia-Pacific region. The 45th session was attended by 12 of its 14 members, which include: Cambodia; China; Democratic People's Republic of Korea; Hong Kong, China; Japan; Lao People's Democratic Republic; Macao, China; Malaysia; the Philippines; Republic of Korea; Singapore; Thailand; Viet Nam; and the US.

Romney, Ryan must keep fighting for our country
Thanks to Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan for believing in the values and ideals on which this great country was founded. I, too, believe and weep at the road my countrymen have chosen. I believe in Romney and Ryan and our shared ideals and hope that, like other great leaders, after a well-deserved rest they, too, will find the strength to rise up to continue to help us fight for a nation that faces debilitating issues: the sanctity of life, family values, national and personal debt, the economy and energy. I pray we look to the Almighty to help us work together for a life and a future based on what he's taught us.

If you read my DETOX post, you'll know I'm trying to change the way I look at buying clothes. I am limiting myself to purchasing 4 or 5 pieces per season, and want to invest my money in great quality clothes which I know I will have for years and years. (I'm not sure what effect this will have on my blog, but if I get really boring do let me know!)
Also, thank you for all your amazing feedback on yesterdays post. I was worried I had rambled on a bit, but it was lovely hearing what your ideas about shopping/consumerism are. Maybe I'll do more talkative posts in the future. You're all wonderful.

UNESCO's Culture for Development Indicator Suite for Bosnia and Herzegovina Presented
UNESCO's Culture for Development Indicator Suite for Bosnia and Herzegovina was officially presented on July 5, 2011 as the sole document which recognizes importance and contribution of culture in development of Bosnia and Herzegovina. According to the research, contribution of cultural activities to GDP of B-H in 2009 was 6.7% or 1.6 billion BAM. The expenditure for culture on all levels of government in B-H in 2009 was 123,4 million BAM or 36 BAM per capita. "UNESCO's research shows that culture in B-H contributes to the development, creates new jobs and generates income, thus not being only expense as some often tend to present it. Besides the significance in cultural sense, cultural and creative industries have economic significance of great importance, reflected in contribution to employment and new value generating. This document will provide elements which will enable creation of cultural policies and strategies", said Sredoje Novic, Minister of Civil Affairs of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Cultural and creative industries make for 5 million jobs and 2.6 GDP of EU, thus being one of key growth generators. This is achieved through creation of new jobs, supporting innovations and ensuring additional value as a social cohesion factor. This is also a efficient tool in fight against current recession.
"This is a pioneer research and initiative for conducting activities aiming to measure contribution of culture to development processes at the national level. This is why participation of Bosnia and Herzegovina in the initial test phase is a true privilege for us", said Sinisa Sesum, Senior Programme Officer of UNESCO.
During the information collecting process UNESCO received an unanimous support of all institutions of government throughout the country, from state to cantonal level, Brcko District, state and entity institutes for statistics, tax administrations, institutes for protection of heritage/monuments and all other institutions and organizations invited to take part in this process.
"Based on successful cooperation and partnership established with B-H Statistics Institute and entity statistics institutes within the MDG-F Programme Culture for Development and based on methodology and forms for continuous statistical monitoring of culture according to EUROSTAT, we are hoping that this cooperation will continue with the agreement to conduct research on contribution of culture to B-H development according to indicators proposed by UNESCO", said Sredoje Novic, Minister of Civil Affairs of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
UNESCO's Culture for Development Indicator Suite for Bosnia and Herzegovina covers following dimensions: economy, education, heritage, gender equality, communication, governance and social sector. Besides the Minister of Civil Affairs of B-H, presentation was attended by representatives of Spanish Agency AECID, UNESCO, Ministry of Education and Culture of Republika Srpska, Ministry of Culture and Sports of Federation BiH, B-H Institute for Statistics, Federal Institute for Statistics, RS Institute for Statistics and MDG-F Programme Culture for Development.
This research was financed by the Spanish Agency for International Development AECID and was conducted by UNESCO within the MDG-F Programme Culture for Development. The Culture for Development Programme is implemented by three UN agencies: UNESCO, UNICEF and UNDP in partnership with Ministry of Civil Affairs of B-H, Ministry of Culture and Sports of FBiH and Ministry of Education and Culture of RS. Programme is financed by the Government of Kingdom of Spain through Millennium Development Goals Achievement Fund (MDG-F).

The Supreme Court prohibited the activity of international Neo-Nazi organization Blood & Honor in Russia having found it extremist, the official spokesperson for the Russian Prosecutor General's Office said on Wednesday. The organization's ideology is rooted in racial, ethnic, national, religious and social animosity and hatred, Marina Gridneva said. Gridneva said that its leaders and members also seek to change Russia's constitutional system by force. Some of the organization's active members in Russia have already been brought to criminal justice for committing serious extremist crimes as well as acts of terrorism.

Featured Golf News
Upper Montclair Country Club 110 Years Young
For a club that's 110 years old, Upper Montclair in Clifton, N.J., still has the vitality of a 20-something. It's the only club in America to host professional events from all three U.S. tours (PGA, LPGA and Champions). It has 27 holes of Robert Trent Jones, Sr. golf over a routing laid out mostly by A.W. Tillinghast. The club just finished a $6.2 million renovation spearheaded by a John Harvey master plan. And it just celebrated the wonderful career of Steve Kozak, a 90-year-old caddie who has served the club for 41 years continuously.
The Great Par-4 at 3 South
"It's a wonderful club I remember well from my youth," beamed no less a personage than Robert Trent Jones, Jr., himself a world-class architect and the son of the man who redesigned the 27 holes. "One of my favorite memories was playing in the N.J. State Amateur as a junior and I had to play Martin Standovic, the great golf gambler from Atlantic City, and he was a little worried not only because he had to play me in a high-pressure situation, but he had to play me at my dad's course, and we were playing for honor, not money!" he recalls. Jones put up a great fight, losing 2 & 1 to one of the greatest high-stakes players of that generation.
In truth, any tournament is a daunting prospect at Upper Montclair. The South and the West nines form a tournament venue that has beguiled the likes of iconic pros Arnold Palmer, Jerome Travers and Jack Nicklaus, and celebrities Jackie Gleason, Babe Ruth and Annie Oakley.
"You have to hit the ball straight, and you need to work the ball both ways," explained former club champion Claudio Kawecki. "You're going to take penalties, and you have to play smart so as to minimize mistakes. Fairways are narrow and bunkers pinch the landing areas and greens. This is a shot-maker's course. That probably explains why so many great names like Arnold Palmer and Nancy Lopez have won here."
"The other great aspect of the course is the greens," added club president John "Jack" Voynick. "They have both micro- and macro-movement," he explained, referring to not only large, easily seen breaks from the visible contours but also the subtle shifts caused by the nature of the terrain.
The Cross-bunker at 7 West is Like a Great Tillie Hazard
Indeed, the course is a stern test, not from overbearing length but from narrow tree-lined fairways, deep penal bunkers and the cunning greens. The West is the most difficult nine, featuring the smallest, most heavily guarded greens and the narrowest tree-flanked fairways. It's typical Jones penal architecture on a parkland site. Some Tillinghast features remain, like the excellent "Great Hazard" bunker on the par-5 seventh, a broad and deep cross-bunker about 70 yards short of the green, though the course is certainly features more of the hallmarks of Jones's work.
In fact, while all the par-5s are showstoppers and constitute the best holes on all three nines, the two on the West are the centerpieces. They are not only the best two holes on that side but the best three-shotters of all six par-5s at Upper Montclair. The par-5 fourth ole is a sharp dogleg featuring a drive over water that must fade or run through the fairway. Then the hole plays through a chute of trees and along one border of the property to a green fronted by water.
The South nine features the most varied terrain and interesting holes. Your author's favorite is the par-4 third, also the No. 1 handicap hole at Upper Montclair. As a long dogleg left, the best bet is to aim for the gorgeous Japanese maple tree in the distance and hit a big draw around the corner. Then play the second from about 180 yards to a green open on the left but guarded by sand and water right.
"That's also the hole that features the most options," added A Walk In The Park [the author's website] photographer and technical advisor Bruce Moulton. "That's a brilliant hole."
A Visitor at Upper Montclair CC
South also has the best par-3, the idyllic sixth, which is shorter than most par-3s at the club but features an approach over water to a green bunkered left.
The par-3s present a dilemma as they all play around the same distance (for example, 165-195 yards from the tees most men play from, 180-210 yards from the tips). There isn't a single outstanding short par-3, and most of them not only play similarly but look roughly the same, No. 6 South being the lone exception.
Additionally, one wishes for a little more variety in terms of a good "half-par" hole, such as an interesting and drive-able par-4 or reachable and tempting but dangerous par-5. But again, Jones, Sr. not only created excellent holes for a preeminent private club but also produced a course that could host a tournament and test the game's best players. Moreover, such half-par holes were simply (and sadly) not in vogue during Jones's heyday.
"It's a period piece," said Bob Jones, Jr. "But it's an excellent tournament venue and competition course. It's like the Old Testament proverb about getting into heaven - 'straight through the gate, narrow is the way (as in fairway) and few there are that will make par.' "
The Impending Trees on South's No. 4
Finally, the club could prune a few of the trees. No. 4 on South is a delightful and short par-4, but half the fairway is blocked out by an enormous tree, effectively cutting the route in half and punishing a good drive. The tree is so huge and so low, you cannot shape a short-iron around it, so you are completely snookered even though you hit the fairway. Not everyone has the driving precision of a tour player, and it seems fairer to punish a player who hits a good drive to the fairway from 240-260 yards away with, instead, a poorer angle to the green or perhaps a deeper bunker.
South closes with a terrific, show-stopping par-5, with a thrilling approach up to the clubhouse and the green guarded by water right and bunkers left. It's a wonderful hole to complete the day.
East is the most charming nine, and feels the most pastoral. Once again, the doctrine of symmetry was employed - two par-5s and two par-3s, but the fairways are wide and the green contours more subtle. It had the homespun, rustic feel of the back nine of another Tillinghast masterpiece, Philadelphia Cricket Club.
Montclair CC is a great place for a local to hang their hat, especially if they are a talented golfer looking for a challenging place to prepare for tournaments. There are many fine players at the club. Kawecki, for example, recently beat out 23,000 other applicants to become Davis Love III's caddie at a recent Fall Series event. Moreover, the greens are excellent, rolling perfectly true and with interesting contours. An excellent caddie, such as Kozak or Kevin Baker, will be a great help as there are frequently double-breakers. Baker was especially sharp all day long with his reads.
Steve Kozak: In His Own Words
He's 90 years young, been a 41-year veteran of the club and has served his country twice, during World War II and Korea. Humble, sincere and dedicated, Steve Kozak is the gold standard of caddies and has served the club through five different decades.
On Upper Montclair:
"It's a great club with great members and great friend of mine among the caddies. It's a nice place to work."
On holes-in-one:
"I've seen two - one on 5 East and one on 8 West. That's a tough hole to get one, too."
On serving his country:
"I'm very proud to serve my country. I was at Iwo Jima and that was the scariest moment, but also the one that I remember most and that was the most important."
On the most important duty of a caddy:
"Don't lose your player's ball."
On the funniest thing he's seen in his 41 years:
"Some guy trying to hit a ball out of six inches of water. Good luck."
On the wonderful party they threw to celebrate his turning 90 years old and his 41 years of caddying:
"Thank you so much. I just so grateful and glad you like me."
Jack Voynick in response:
"No Steve - we love you."

A metro principal steps down after a big effort to prevent school tardiness.
An official with the Oklahoma City school district told KOCO 5 News that Jefferson Middle School Principal Adys Altstatt turned in her resignation on Friday.
This all comes after more than 50 students were suspended last week for being late to class. They weren't allowed back on campus, but four students did try to go to school and were arrested on suspicion of trespassing.
The district would not say if that's why the principal resigned.

Billy grinned. "Oh, New York," he whispered. "We're gonna have so much fun."
I Hunt Killers introduced the world to Jazz, the son of history's most infamous serial killer, Billy Dent.
In an effort to prove murder didn't run in the family, Jazz teamed with the police in the small town of Lobo's Nod to solve a deadly case. And now, when a determined New York City detective comes knocking on Jazz's door asking for help, he can't say no. The Hat-Dog Killer has the Big Apple—and its police force—running scared. So Jazz and his girlfriend, Connie, hop on a plane to the big city and get swept up in a killer's murderous game.
Both the stakes and the body count are higher in this suspenseful and unstoppable sequel from acclaimed author Barry Lyga.

Earlier this year, we headed out to Muscle Beach in Santa Monica, CA to put together a photoshoot featuring all five of our Scion models. We think the photos, which should be appearing in banners and other materials at your local scion dealer soon, showcase some of the best angles of the cars while they're about town.
The shoot started early in the day, with the 2014 Scion tC and Scion FR-S sitting in the parking lot, awaiting their turn in front of the camera. One of the most challenging parts of any photo shoot is keeping the cars spotless, something made even more difficult by the ocean side setting.
Our friends from Seoul Sausage were also out to take part in the shoot, and luckily for us, they brought along some of their famous sausages to provide lunch as well.
In addition to their traditional food truck, the Seoul Sausage Scion xB was also at the shoot, ready to cook up lunch for the cast and crew on our makeshift set.
If you've been out to the Seoul Sausage restaurant, you may have seen their custom designed Scion xB before. Built by Mike Vu's team at MV Designz, the Seoul Sausage Scion xB has been modified from the ground up with an air suspension, a full audio/visual overhaul, a matte black wrap, and a slide out grill from the car's trunk.
While we were checking out the Seoul Sausage xB, the original showed up on site to begin its first round of shooting on set.
The Scion xB was soon followed by the tC and FR-S, both of which took their respective places on deck as we waited for photography of the cars to begin.
With a full day of shooting scheduled in, the photography team got to work getting the cars on film immediately after their arrival.
Our cast climbed into the Scion xB, while Yong from Seoul Sausage got ready to hop in the driver's seat to take part. Chris, who is Seoul Sausage's executive chef, stood off to the side looking on.
While that was going on, the Scion tC and FR-S were moved into position, and props were set up alongside of them to give the setting a natural feel.
Photography for the two sports coupes commenced, with our cast positioning themselves alongside the cars. Passersby would occasionally stop to get a closer look at the cars, and perhaps to try and sneak themselves into one of the shots.
All said, we think the final shots came out great, and we hope you will too when you see them in dealerships and in other Scion materials. For more exclusive behind the scenes coverage of Scion events, be sure to follow us on Instagram at the link below!

Goldman nails investors on behalf of PE clients, Metals USA IPO is an example 1 comment
Metals USA's PO is a clear example of Goldman putting PE relationships ahead of investors. PE firms have a lot of companies preparing to IPO -- a cash register for Goldman.
So anytime Goldman does an IPO for a PE firm investors should be wary, especially of Goldman's 'pre-IPO' buzz.

This from the CEO's comments today in the 3Q conference call. Who by the way, while on the call was very adamant as to how MUSA managed to do so well this past quarter. And the PE the market is currently treating MUSA with is utterly ridiculous. He seemed actually mad in his speaking tone about this. I think he is justified in his sentiment based upon the growth MUSA has exhibited in it's recent acquisitions within the space. I also took note how he was very stern and repetitive towards the 3 analyst who were on the call (GS, JMP, JEF). Who all congratulated him on a 'beat' on earnings this Q. I am expecting an upgrade or two in the net few days from someone beside myself.
Net sales for the third quarter of 2011 were $492.3 million, up 43% from net sales of $345.3 million for the third quarter of 2010. Net income for the third quarter of 2011 was $16.7 million compared to net income of $5.8 million for the third quarter of 2010. Earnings per diluted share ("EPS") were $0.45 in the third quarter of 2011 compared to $0.16 for the third quarter of 2010.

We had the opportunity last week to talk with state Sen. David Ige.
Ige is waging a battle against Neil Abercrombie in the Democratic primary for that party's nomination for governor.
Challenging an incumbent is never an easy task and waging an intraparty battle in a primary is an even harder one.
This year Hawaii's Democratic Party faces two such insurgencies - Ige's battle against Abercrombie and Rep. Colleen Hanabusa's attempt to wrest the U.S. Senate nomination away from Sen. Brian Schatz.
So why would a 29-year veteran legislator jump into such a battle? Ige says he wants to change the "leadership style" in the state. He said his style is to find common ground and be "inclusive"; currently, he says, there is "too much confrontation and division."
He also wants to leave a better Hawaii for his children, just as his grandparents and parents did for their offspring.
Ige emphasizes time and again that he is running for governor - not against Abercrombie.
The chairman of the Senate Ways and Means Committee believes he has a demonstrated record of finding solutions. He points out that while Abercrombie is proud of the state's $850 million budget surplus, he and fellow legislators cut some $800 million from the governor's requests.
Ige refers repeatedly to his belief the state must have a "right-size" budget - that Hawaii must live within its means. He said the Legislature has rejected almost all requests for tax increases for the past four years.
The chairman also noted that while Abercrombie may have started the conversation about addressing unfunded liabilities in pensions and health benefits for public employees, it was the Legislature that came up with the plan that ensures those obligations will be fully met.
Ige is a star in the state Democratic Party. His quest this year, though, may be tilting at windmills - no sitting governor in Hawaii seeking re-election has ever lost in a primary.
But we'd predict this won't be the last statewide election for David Ige.

I don't about you but losing close to 100k is no laughing matter and I wouldn't brag about it.
60,000 shares x 3.40 = 204,000
- basis 1.725 = 103,500
add another 10 cents or another 6k. to the downside. so now its $153000 and you just lost half in profits. And you think the $4 offer made to Manuso is penny ante huh ? What you forget to add to your lovely senerio is time value. If you held it for the past 6 years 50k spread over 6 years come out to be 8k.and that would be 8% on your 100k investment. Convince me this was a good investment when you could of put your money into the s&p at 750 and now looking at close to 100% profit ?
Granted I could maybe have sold recently at $3.40. I have an average price of 1.725. Let's see if your $100,000 holds water. I didn't know that mp-470 would be discontinued. I believed that aml would be a helpfor the share price. But unlike rory, I'm suppose to have crystal ball. But let's say I had a hunch at 3.40, the price was going to fall. I sell all my 60,000 shares at 3.40 and we will assume that I had no impact on the share price.
60,000 shares x 3.40 = 204,000
- basis 1.725 = 103,500
I net out $100,500 I own taxes on the this of $15,000
Take the 3.40 - 2.68 today. That is equal to .72 x 60,000 shares = $43,200 - the $15,000 taxes.
This is equal to $28,200. About 1/4 of the $100K you state I missed out on. Get your facts correct rory.
Now do you want to show us the math on you selling half your position at 2,31 and missing the run to 3.40? I will guess that you owned 10,000 shares and you sold half. that sound right dumb dumb.
So you missed out on 5,000 shares moving $1,09 a share. That is equal to $5,450. You liberals pay no taxes, so we can assume no saving there. Now this doubles if you sold 10,000 shares and triples if you sold 15,000 shares.
I don't pretend to be a trader in astx. But had I listen to you sell at 2.31, today I would have a value $21,000 less. I think I'll just do what I'm doing and you keep trading loverboy.

Cosmopolitanism can arise out of philosophical reflection, as in well-known Stoic or Kantian versions of cosmopolitanism, out of assessments of practical and basic human needs, as in current theories of global justice, and out of a less explored resource: the social movements that are engaged in transforming the world each in their own ways. During the last years, waves of protests have been taking place around the world, we finding ourselves in a 'time of riots' (Badiou): the so-called 'Arab Spring' targeting authoritarian regimes in the Arab world, the 'indignados' in Spain, Greece and other EU countries protesting against austerity, unemployment and corrupt governments; the Occupy movement, in the USA and Europe, emerged as a response to the financial crisis, targeting financial elites and developing a different mode of protest – the occupation. The previous most visible acts of protests were those against the G8/G20, World Bank, International Monetary Fund and World Trade Organization, and against corporations and trade agreements, known by such names as Madrid 94, J 18, Seattle/N30, Washington A 16, Genoa 2001, Quebec City 2001, Porto Alegre 2002 and others.
These protests can be approached as local events in which information technologies and social media played an important role in the mediation of protests. On the other hand, it can be argued that we are witnessing the emergence of a new global type of politics as all these events are interrelated and reflect the rise of a new type of action and subjectivity. Does this new type of politics, action and subjectivity have a clear name in the accepted language of political theory or in the language of science of politics in general? Academics from all around the world try to answer this question from different perspectives, global protests generating significant scholarly approaches of resistance, protest and disobedience. In this context, we aim to explore in a collective volume if, how and when this new type of politics is cosmopolitan and to map the aspects of radical cosmopolitics these protests display. As well, the purpose of the envisaged volume is to analyze how global protests challenge the political theory in general, 'cosmopolitanizing' the science of politics, and the theoretical tools of conceptualizing dissent in particular. Moreover, the global protests pose again, in a cosmopolitan vein, the old question of the relation between theory and practice: is there a relation between recent and classical theories and the occurrence of such protests? Which theories are relevant to describe/explain the nature and the causes of the protest movements?
Here are several clusters of questions to be addressed and analyzed in the envisaged volume:
I. Can we find a common framework of analysis of the recent protests in various countries – are they "global" in some meaningful way, or rather disparate locally relevant forms of dissent? What risks to be missed in searching such an encompassing framework?
II. Are global protests a cosmopolitan practice and action? What are the points of intersection between global protests and cosmopolitanism? Are acts of protests and resistance cosmopolitan in all their demands or only in certain parts/claims/moments? When does an act of resistance/protest become cosmopolitan? What are the conditions for the cosmopolitan potential of resistance/protests to emerge? Is the internally eclectic nature of many protests a cosmopolitan feature?
III. How to differentiate cosmopolitan aspects of a global protest from non-cosmopolitan ones? How to differentiate a cosmopolitan protest from a counter-cosmopolitan form of protest, given the fact that both kinds take place seemingly as part of global and transnational phenomena?
IV. Are global protests a political avant-garde, in terms of identifying new possibilities for politics? Is this avant-garde a cosmopolitan one? Are the protests "a living laboratory for world citizenship"(World Social Forum)? What are the new and emancipatory cosmopolitan elements of this avant-garde?
V. Is the critique and rejection of state and international institutions by protests (automatically) cosmopolitan or these should be complemented by the universality of new claims in order to 'qualify' as cosmopolitan? What is more cosmopolitan: the form of protest (their morphology, e.g. occupation, direct democracy, consensus-based decision-making, use of social networks, etc.) or the content of the claims? Can there be a cosmopolitan form of action - the protest/resistance as rejecting a nation-state or international structure – without a cosmopolitan content of the claims? Is the (oft-mentioned) absence of claims against the state a cosmopolitan choice?
VI. How do global protests shape cosmopolitan democracy? Does the participatory style of protests around the world have a cosmopolitan potential? Is there a 'participatory cosmopolitanism' in the local manifestations (in Occupy movements for example)? How inclusive and representative is the participatory style of global protests/resistance? Does "We are the 99%" mean "We represent the 99%"? Is there a cosmopolitan representativity in global protests? Do global protests participate to the overall crisis of modern frameworks of (state-centered) political representation? Can this crisis of representation prefigure a wider redefinition of the nature of the polis in cosmopolitan terms?
VII. How is the subject of the global protests constituted? Is there a cosmopolitan subjectivity of protesters? Does protest suppose a dis-identification and dis-affiliation from the local and particular or, on the contrary, a strong endorsement of some particular claim? Do protesters/activists from different milieus come together and forge relations and shared understandings expressing solidarity? Is this solidarity partial, of certain intentions, temporary? Is solidarity of global protests necessary?
VIII. Are global protests the "cosmopolitan constituent power" of a new cosmopolitan institutional order or only a "destituent power"? Does protest/resistance display cosmopolitan features only when it is a successful one, or a glorious but defeated mass mobilization can be as well cosmopolitan?
IX. What is the (cosmopolitan) spatiality of global protests? Is the dominant metaphor of network the dimension that makes the protests cosmopolitan or there are other elements making the cosmopolitan space of protests? How can the gesture/the strategy of occupying a place generate a cosmopolitan event?
X. What exactly is "radical" in these protests, and do cosmopolitan references serve as vectors for radicalization? Is "revolution" still a relevant concept for this analysis? Is there a revolutionary dimension in the global protests? Is cosmopolitanism itself revolutionary? Do these protests signal the emergence of a fundamentally different normative horizon, one in which anarchism and cosmopolitanism might become mainstream references characteristic for a globalized world of governance and dissent?
We invite interested scholars worldwide to explore these questions and to contribute with texts written in English language to a book with the working title Cosmopolitanism and Global Protests that will be published by an internationally renowned and academically authoritative publishing house.
We assume that possible answers to these questions might come from the analysis of concrete cases of protests/resistance and from a close reading of manifestos, declarations and other texts explaining the necessity of protest. However, the papers are not expected to be primarily a case study of an episode of protest; rather we expect the papers to focus on the concept of cosmopolitanism as it emerges from different episodes of global protests and resistance, for example: cosmopolitan avant-garde of global protests; cosmopolitan representation/representativity in the global protests; cosmopolitan destituent and constituent power of global protests; cosmopolitan agonistic and radical democracy of global protests; new forms of universality emerging in global protests; cosmopolitanism and space of protests and resistance; cosmopolitan event of global protests; cosmopolitan forms of solidarity and others.

We, the First Peoples, are the roots of this land. As the original free and independent nations of Turtle Island, we honour our sacred traditions, which were given to us by our Great Creator. We recognize that our first step must be to show our appreciation and gratitude towards Meymeynosh—the Earth herself. Being the roots of this land comes with the responsibility of leadership in educating our children.
When we truly reflect on the present education system as it is delivered to the youth, we must return to the original intent of education itself—and see that we have failed our children in providing the best education possible.
We pride ourselves in that we live in an advanced society because of our education system, yet we have not been able to find more peaceful resolutions to our differences, and we continue to challenge nature's authority.
In the English dictionary, education is defined as "to develop [a child] mentally, morally or aesthetically, especially by instruction."
The education system has failed First Nations people because it does not tell the truth of the history of our people. It does not share the stories of the roots of the original people of this land who have a knowledge and understanding, particularly in how to have a respectful relationship with Meymeynosh herself.
This was to be a weekend of data entry for my income taxes. TurboTax wants to triple what they charge to file Schedules C and D, and I have to either pay up or enter a lot of stuff for myself the first year that any of the programs will do for you in subsequent years. I got interrupted when a big envelope showed up at my door.
From the return address, I quickly figured out what was inside and was ripping it open like my five-year-old twin grandkids did their birthday presents last week: Doctorate Recipients from U.S. Universities: 2012.
I opened the booklet inside to distribution by "race and ethnicity" and started reading.
African-Americans have increased their Ph.D.s 87 percent in the past 20 years, which sounds great until you see they are now getting 6.3 percent of the degrees awarded, 2,079, while representing 13.1 percent of the US population.
Hispanics have doubled their numbers of Ph.D.s in the past 20 years, which sounds all right until you see they are now getting 6.5 percent of the degrees awarded, 2,141, while representing 16.9 percent of the U.S. population.
Then came the sentence in the report that told me what I didn't want to hear: "The number of American Indian or Alaska Native doctorate recipients fell to its lowest point of the past 20 years." In numbers, that's 102 doctorates or well under one-half of one percent awarded to a group representing (allegedly) 1.2 percent of the population.
I confess this hurt more back when I was in the business of producing Ph.D.s, because it felt like a personal failure to look under every rock for potential Indian candidates. But it still hurts enough that I take on the job of convincing others that this is bad news to hear that while other minorities are making too little progress, we are making none.
The whole idea of "progress" is problematic to public opinion in great chunks of Indian country. You can't entertain "progress" without value judgments about where you are right now and where you are going and those value judgments, the argument goes, contain a profound disrespect for "tradition" and are a symptom of "assimilation," the death of a culture. Others of us think that assimilation is the life of a culture because it's not a one-way street.
When two cultures interact, neither remains the same. To think that one must totally disappear is to apprehend the disappearing one as profoundly inferior. The Indian fighters, of course, seldom verbalize our inferiority as a reason for our academic underperformance. They let the numbers speak for themselves.
If we address the dismal numbers, we either blame the racists or we point to the numbers with pride, as evidence of successful resistance to the colonial enterprise that challenges us to assimilate or die.
Many of my white students were greatly concerned with this thing called "globalization," which means to them that their competition is not their neighbors but other kids halfway around the world that are multilingual, just as smart, and way hungrier.
Indians, of course, shall never go hungry, and the commods shall arrive as long as the rivers shall run. Would it be tacky to point out that the rivers are drying up, and the solutions to that problem are going to require advanced education in many fields, not the least of which is political science?
Right now, there's a woman in my tribe coming out of an environmental science Ph.D. program. She serves on the tribal council and is running for chief. I'm not sure yet how I feel about that, but I am sure what the knowledge represented by that Ph.D. means. It means that she'll be better fixed to do a good job if she wins and she'll have plenty of opportunities to do important things for the tribe if she loses.
In my field, sometimes people will get snarky with a college student in the family, asking, "Does the world really need another lawyer?" Actually, Indian communities are hardly over lawyered, but that's not the point. That degree is evidence that you know a lot of stuff that is going to come in handy for you and yours if you never set foot in a courthouse.
Much ado is made of our divisions and differences, and this is so successful because the narrative of our sameness is foundational to colonial policies.

I'm thinking about the new year…
What are your hopes? Goals? Changes to come?
The past two years have been challenging. Some relationships have dissolved, completely beyond our power, and this has had a domino (or is it butterfly?) effect on the rest of our family life. As in, when New Year's Eve rolls by I feel ready to give the year a swift kick in the butt and bid it "goodbye". I suppose it is just the ordinary stuff of living, and some stretches are like that. At the same time, I would not want to have skipped or omitted these years, either. Not by a long shot. There have been beneficial results from the challenges, for which I am very thankful. And I am becoming more used to uncertainty (thought I wouldn't say comfortable - ha!). I choose to hope, trust, and believe.
Just saying all this because while I tend to be an optimist (though my husband thinks he is turning me into a realist), my life isn't always peachy, and I don't want anyone to get impression that it is. It is messy and sometimes scary, as I am learning everyone's is. But at least we are all in it together :) See, there's the optimist coming out.
More on my goal(s) for the new year coming soon.
I'm gonna wing it -- no menu plan today. Just taking it easy this last stretch of winter break before we whip everything back into shape with planning and routine next week.
I want to try this slow cooker orange sesame chicken (beware of the sugar) and maybe some jerk seasoned pork tenderloin, but I haven't thought much beyond that.
Have a good one!

Isn't it funny how we can look back on things and see that they were beneficial for us, even though when we were going through them they were so difficult? I too separated from good friends in the past few years and while it was extremely difficult at the time, I now see how much better my life (and attitude) is without them being part of my life.ReplyDelete
Happy New Year to you and your family!Replies
Aw, thank you so much! Same to you and yours!! :)Delete

The culmination of the ISU Grand Prix circuit, the Grand Prix Final, takes place from December 14-17, with the top six skaters in each discipline facing off in St. Petersburg, Russia.
The culmination of the ISU Grand Prix circuit, the Grand Prix Final, takes place from December 14-17, with the top six skaters in each discipline facing off in St. Petersburg, Russia.
This must be the first time ever that there are no American ladies in the GP Final.
Last year we had Alissa Czisny to carry the banner. She fnished last, but at least she was there.
BTW, last year also there were three Japanese ladies in the final, Asada, Nakano and Ando.
But I love the prediction for Sebestyen to finish a definite last I have to agree, too.
A Japanese skater will CERTAINLY win this event. It could be Ando or Asada but that doesn't create too much excitement- may as well be Japanese Nats.
It's amazing to me how an ice dance team that finished 6th last season can suddenly in one year be a viable challenger to the world champions.
Oh wait, this is ice dance ... I forgot.

Red Dog, what's boring about the fact that the favorites are Japanese? Are Japanese skaters less interesting than competitors from other countries? Would it be more interesting if, say, Ando dropped out so the top two would be from different countries (Japan and Korea in this case)?
What I could also note is that this is only the 2nd time that there have been no North American skaters in the women's event. 1999, once again, was the first time it happened. The qualfiers that year were either Russian (Butyrskaya, Slutskaya, & Sokolova), Ukrainian (Liashenko), Uzbek (Malinina, who won), or Japanese (Suguri, in her first appearance at the Final). In 2005, despite the fact that no U. S. women qualified, Canada did put two women in the Final (the only time its happened to date), Rochette and Phaneuf.
I could also mention that this is only the 2nd time that Russia has not qualified anyone in both the Women's and men's competitons. For the ladies, the first time was 2004, the year when Slutskaya was out of most of the season due to her health condition, and Sokolova and Volchkova had pretty forgetable performances. As for the men, the first occurence was last season, when Plushenko, skating only one GP, didn't qualify.

To answer the last question, if Ando dropped out, wouldn't one of the alternates (Rochette? Meissner?) get to go? In that case, I'd say yes that probably would make it a little more interesting. But that doesn't really mean they'd have much of a shot at winning (maybe medalling though).
1999 was an ex Soviet GPF (Slutskaya, Sokolova, Butyrskaya, Liashenko and Malinina)
2006 is an Asian GPF (Asada, Ando, Suguri and Yu Na)
It's interesting how things change in 5 years. From 5 ex Soviet skaters qualifying to none.
We don't know how the top 3 we'll look, but the bottom 3 is a clincher ;-)
Suguri, Meier, Sebestyen. Maybe even in that order ;-)
I don't care what nationality the GPF skaters are. I'd rather see beautiful Asian skaters than dull American ones. I think it's an exciting roster. I wouldn't write Suguri off for the podium because we've seen Mao and Miki crumble and Fumie pull it out.
Even though I prefer Mao to Yu Na, I don't think she is quite where she needs to be to beat her currently. If Miki can pull it off, she sizzles.
Thusly I am calling it:
Miki, Yu Na, Mao, Fumie in that order...
But if it is Yu Na, Fumie, Miki and Mao ...
... or any other combo with Yu Na on top...
... or even Mao, Fumie,Yu Na and Miki...
... or even Fumie, Miki, Yu Na and Mao...
...I won't be surprised. IOW Yu Na is the only one I'm "sure" will make the podium, and I'm not even positive about that.
It's really hot up there!
I think Sarah will make the podium. I am not necessarily penciling Julia in for last place. We'll see.
I doubt that the Russians will beat DenStav, even on home soil [though Max is ofcourse from Moscow] but why is a Russian Dance couple's improvement looked on with suspicion but Belbin Agosto's not?

Great race today!

Running A Race
Exercise and diet
This picture is from two years ago on the day of my very first race. It was a 5K. I ran it in 31 minutes with my good friend, Stephanie (in the pink shirt). Since then I've entered a few more races, just to keep me out there running. I keep my pace slow and always run with a friend so I can chat and have fun when I'm out there. I never race to win, just to give myself a goal. After this first race two years ago, I've run one other 5K and two other 10Ks. Tomorrow morning will be my first ever half marathon and I'm totally excited! I usually work up to running 9 miles each year, but this is my first year that I will have worked up to 13.1 miles! I'm hoping to keep up a 10 minute mile pace. I have a friend who is running it with me and we'll probably chat for most of it so we keep the race fun.
Wish me luck!

Hair products
Apparently a former reader is upset at some inconsistencies on this blog regarding hair products. The fact that I said I rarely do my hair (I don't use blow dryers, straighteners, curling irons, etc.) and yet I've done several product reviews and tutorials on the subject confused her. She feels I said great things about those products just because they were given to me for free. I get that. It is not the case, but I can see why she would think that.
I should have clarified yesterday's post by saying that I rarely do my hair *anymore*. But yes, I've always preferred the au naturale look. I go through seasons of appreciating certain colors, products, styles, and clothes - this includes hair products, styles, and cuts. This season in my life is about not having to style my hair. Since we're getting close to summer season and everyone's hair is probably having some difficulty staying styled, I thought I'd tell you about another way I style my hair using no curling irons, blow dryers, or straighteners. However, in future posts, and in past posts, I have and will post about the benefits of using products even though I prefer not using them all the time. Right now I have chosen to go au naturale, but tomorrow I may use a curling iron or straightener. In fact, I hate the color black, and yet I wear it often on this blog. Sometimes out of necessity, boredom, curiosity, or whatever else, I try things that I don't prefer. Hope that clarifies it for some of you. And if not, feel free to ask.
I stand by the products I was given for free. They truly are amazing. I just haven't needed to use them much lately and prefer to not have to use them at all. But soon I'll be in a no baby season of my life again, get bored with my hair, and experiment with all the products I have.

Beachy Hair
Hair products
I rarely blow dry, curl, or straighten my hair. I prefer the au naturale look most of the time, and thankfully I have pretty easy going hair that doesn't usually have to be styled to look ok. In the summer, though, I love to add a bit of product to my air dried hair. I use salt sprays to achieve a beachy hair look. I've used all kinds of products in the past, but my favorite is the stuff I make myself.
I add a teaspoon or more of sea salt to a spray bottle filled with warm water, a dab of conditioner (or this time around I used melted coconut oil) and then sprayed it generously in my hair. Using my homemade product achieves the look I have below.
When I'm going for the beachy hair look, I shampoo my hair only twice a week. The saltwater dries out my hair, so all I do is rinse it lightly with water in the shower and then let it air dry half way before spraying it with the saltwater. If my hair ends up too greasy, I just use dry shampoo, and if it gets too dry, I will skip the shampoo and just add conditioner to the ends.
I love easy, breezy, beachy hair for the summer!

American Eagle dress from Goodwill refashioned by me. The straps on the dress are from the sash, and I hemmed it about 4 inches. Not a huge makeover, but it sure did take a while.

Using Teacher Evaluation Reform and Professional Development to Support Common Core Assessments
February 5, 2013, 12:30pm ET - 2:00pm ET
About This Event
The Common Core State Standards initiative presents challenges to teacher evaluation systems across the country, many of which are in the early stages of development and implementation. The merging of the Common Core State Standards and teacher evaluation systems must be approached in innovative ways so that teachers and the systems under which they are evaluated are able to adapt to new expectations.
Please join the Center for American Progress for a discussion about ways to ensure that the Common Core State Standards initiative proves successful with the release of Peter Youngs' paper, "Using Teacher Evaluation Reform and Professional Development to Support Common Core Assessments". In light of the challenges, this report includes several recommendations for how observation protocols, student surveys, value-added models, and teacher performance assessments can be implemented and successfully utilized, along with comprehensive professional development for teachers and principals needed to support the Common Core initiative.
Featured Speakers:
John Stewart, Program Manager, Project COACH, Hamilton County Department of Education, Tennessee
Thomas Toch, Senior Managing Partner, Public Policy Engagement, Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching
Rob Weil, Director, Field Programs, Educational Issues, American Federation of Teachers
Peter Youngs, Associate Professor, Department of Teacher Education, Michigan State University
Moderated by:
Cynthia G. Brown, Vice President, Education Policy, Center for American Progress
A light lunch will be served at 12:00 PM.

Recover My Files Data Recovery Software Full Description
Recover My Files™
Recover My Files™ Data Recovery Software is a powerful Data Recovery and File Recovery Utility. Recover deleted files, including DOC, XLS, JPG, digital camera photos, ZIP, RAR, DBX, PST, email, MP3, MPEG and more. Recover files emptied from the Recycle Bin, from a formatted hard disk, lost due to a system crash or virus infection. Works on FAT12, FAT16, FAT32 and NTFS file-systems.
When a file is deleted from a Windows Operating System the contents of the file is rarely destroyed. If the Windows reference information remains intact, Recover My Files™ reconstructs the link to the deleted file to enable data recovery. Even if the reference information itself has been destroyed, our data recovery software scans the storage media at a low level to locate Lost Files by their internal file structure. This allows Recover My Files™ to locate and recover files that other data recovery software programs could never know exist.
Recover My Files™ will bring back files emptied from the Recycle Bin, from a formatted disk, lost due to a system crash or virus infection, such as the MyDoom virus. It will even recover temporary files for documents never even saved! Recovery takes 3 simple steps, no technical skill is required.
Recover My Files™ has one of the most advanced data recovery engines available which can recover files that other undelete programs cannot recover! It searches every sector of your hard drive to recognize deleted files by their content. You may be surprised what deleted files are lurking on your hard disk without your knowledge.

... than gardening.
But it's still pretty fun.
Some of my best recipes came from garden company seed catalogs. In order to promote the purchase of their seeds, catalog companies include recipes within the pages of their catalog. While browsing pages of lettuce seeds, directions for making unique and tasty salad dressings are tucked within the descriptions of the latest varieties of romaine, butter and loose leaf greens.
I've even tried a few, although more often than not, I make a mental note to go back to those pages, and ultimately don't get to it. But who can resist trying things like honey mustard lima bean salad or broccoli and walnut pizza, both recipes included in the catalogs and also available at www.cooksgar-den.com/recipes.
I mention The Cook's Garden because it was one of the first companies to send me a catalog more than 20 years ago that contained more than just pages of descriptions, prices and a centerfold order form. There were others, but this particular catalog always comes to the forefront of my brain when they start showing up in my mailbox around the holidays.
The Cook's Garden seems to specialize in lettuce, although they also offer a multitude of vegetable and flower seeds of all types. But lettuce occupies several pages in the book that has changed in appearance over the years, but in a good way. Unique salad dressing recipes always can be counted on inside those pages.
I still remember my first catalog. It was different. The pages held cute little drawings and interesting descriptions. The company's owner wrote a little column inside the front cover explaining their travels all over the world to find new varieties. Other catalog companies soon began including these types of literary offerings inside their pages as well and before long, reading a garden catalog became the equivalent of reading a magazine.
I have something in my possession that comes close to the excitement of the current batch of garden catalogs. It is a publication my mother passed on to me several years ago, a catalog dated 1908. Lacking photos, it has colorful drawings of flowers and vegetables, but these drawings are vintage and suitable for framing, although I can't bring myself to pull apart the delicate pages. The seed company, from Ohio, is long gone, and the varieties of plants listed are considered heirloom by today's standards. Even they were once new species of plants that people then couldn't wait to put into their gardens.
But that's not the best part. Inside the front cover is a handwritten list of orders that neighbors, friends and relatives made up for their season of growing. It was common in those days for neighborhoods to get together, browse the one catalog that someone managed to get their hands on, and create one community order for all to share.
Browsing garden catalogs isn't just for people looking to buy seeds anymore. I often keep my catalogs from year to year using them for reference and to keep track of what I want for a future planting.
Hang on to those books. They are golden, not to mention they have some great recipes.

Hey, it's not every day you get a bucketful of 50 trout, some stretching 16 inches long.
No, I wasn't poaching. I was doing a story Wednesday on local stream stocking efforts by the county-run, Carpenter's Brook Fish Hatchery in Elbridge. (I was also gathering info that day for my trout season opener precede story package, slated for this Sunday's edition of The Post-Standard)
I was at the hatchery at 8:30 a.m. Wednesday as hatchery staffers Travis Stanek and Paul Bedard, assisted by volunteers Dan Wiemers, Paul Hudson and Jim Smith, netted fish out of the hatchery's cement ponds and loaded them into special, water-filled holding tanks on two trucks.
The trucks that morning were headed to Spafford and Limestone creeks. Later trips were planned that day to Furnace and Fabius brooks.
It's pretty low tech. Some fish were dumped with nets from bridges into streams right from the truck. Many of the trout were carried in 5-gallon buckets and dumped by the volunteers at various locations along the streams.
Hatchery officials estimate some 17,000 in Onondaga County alone will be stocked by opening day Tuesday.

Finally a product that is simple and easy to use that stops our two small dogs from killing our lawn. After only 4 weeks the old burn marks are growing back and no new patches. When we tell friends why we have rocks in our dogs bowl their first reaction is does it work and where can I buy them. Highly reccomend for any pet owner that is tired of their pets ruining their lawn.
– Cindy, from Kamloops, BC
I tell everyone about theses rocks and the difference it has made...I no longer fear my dogs leaving marks on the neighors' lawns' during walks!
