I was supposed to go to my daughter's school for Friday Night Bingo, but my boss, Stephen N. Adubato, insisted that I go to the lottery for Robert Treat Academy instead.
Robert Treat, a 12-year old charter school in Newark, was founded by Adubato's organization, the North Ward Center. Because it's a public charter school, by law it must hold a lottery every year for incoming kindergarteners. The only kids who get preference are those with siblings in the school.
"You're not going to understand what we're about until you go to the lottery," Adubato said.
"Big Steve," as he is known to the 450 students at the K-8 school, told me he wouldn't be there. He went one year, and couldn't handle it. He never wanted to experience it again.
In the main office of the school, a CPA checked names on a list against cards that were being placed in a large Bingo cage. At 7 p.m. sharp, the Bingo cage was carried into the multipurpose room, which by this time was packed.
The school has 50 openings for kindergarten in August. Of those, 21 were already taken by siblings, leaving just 29 places. The names of 221 children were in the Bingo cage.
The multipurpose room was unusually quiet. Parents sat, coldly staring straight ahead at the tall CPA who would soon begin pulling names out of the Bingo cage.
For a kid from Newark, getting into Robert Treat is a life-altering experience. The academics at Robert Treat are on par with those in the best suburban schools in the state. Students score much higher on state tests than others in Newark. If they graduate eighth grade, there is a good chance that they'll get a full scholarship to attend Philips Exeter, Choate Rosemary Hall, Lawrenceville and other prestigious boarding schools. The mostly African-American and Hispanic parents who sat in the multipurpose room on Friday night were well aware of the stakes.
The CPA pulled the first name out of the Bingo Cage. The first name was read. Silence. A few more names were read. More silence.
Principal Michael Pallante said in the beginning parents would shout for joy if their child's name was picked. But now the winners celebrate in silence, in deference to the unlucky.
One woman, however, couldn't contain her joy when her daughter's name was called. "Thank you Jesus," she shouted, hugging her daughter and bouncing on the cafeteria bench. Another family also broke the silence, shouting in elation as they enveloped their child in a group hug.
For 29 parents, it was probably one of the happiest days in their lives. In the hallway after the names were called, the little girl with the mother who thanked the Lord was talking on a cell phone. "I got in," she said in the phone, repeating it at least ten times. Can a preschooler actually understand the significance of getting into Robert Treat?
The rest of the names were pulled out of the Bingo cage. Each would be placed on a waiting list. Those with low numbers might get a call for next August or maybe in a few years if there's an opening. But few students leave the school once enrolled. The parents of the kids who didn't get pulled left grim faced, their shot at bettering their child's life snuffed out by one unlucky night.
I left feeling angry more than anything else. Questions raced through my mind. How can we put parents through this torture? How is it that an urban public school system is so unequal that some students will get a first-class education while others could end up at failing schools where they might be passed on from year to year without ever learning how to read? Why is the future of a child determined by a Bingo cage?
I arrived at my daughter's school in time to watch her win a round of Bingo. I was excited for her, but I couldn't help thinking about what I saw at an hour earlier. While there are vast differences between Newark and my hometown, Robert Treat and Woodrow Wilson elementary in Westfield actually have a lot in common: Dedicated teachers, motivated students, involved parents and exceptional test scores. But there's one major difference. At my daughter's school, a bingo cage is just used for fun and games, not to determine children's futures.

The Proposal
Bill proposed on November 11th, 2011. So lucky 11-11-11 which also happened to be our 9 month anniversary. He took me to the restaurant in Kirkwood where we went on our first date. We were walking to the restaurant and we got to the corner where there is a very romantic bench with flowers. He turned towards me, smiled and got down on one knee and asked, "Will you marry me?" Then he put the most beautiful ring that I had ever seen on my ring finger, after I said yes of course. The ring was designed and hand made especially for us. It has a beautiful sapphire with two diamonds that have been in Bill's mother's family for 130 years.

Month-long protest following George Zimmerman verdict cost state $173K
Protest began 3 days after acquittal
A month-long protest at the Florida Capitol following the verdict in the George Zimmerman trial is resulting in overtime expenses of nearly $173,000.
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement on Wednesday released a final breakdown of security expenses.
The protest began three days after Zimmerman was acquitted in July of second-degree murder and manslaughter charges in the 2012 death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin.
FDLE figures show that the 31-day protest also resulted in more than $20,000 in compensatory time to the officers who stayed in the Capitol with protesters.
Protesters demanded that Gov. Rick Scott call a special session to have legislators repeal the state's "stand your ground" law, which Scott steadfastly refused.
A House committee is expected to discuss the "stand your ground" law this fall.

In the event that you ask a lawyer,"How numerous separation cases have you attempted?" you have unsheathed a twofold edge sword. On the off chance that the answer is hundreds, that may show a failure to arrange and find inventive answers for manage impasses. On the off chance that the answer is "a couple", that may show an absence of trial experience. A superior approach to express the inquiry is "The thing that rate of your divorce lawyer cases go to full trial?" You are searching for somebody who has attempted various separation cases. One individual can learn as much attempting 6 cases as another can learn attempting 12 so the real number can be misdirecting. Be that as it may, when seen in light of different elements, you ought to have some thought regarding whether the legal counselor who has attempted 6 cases has earned the sort of trial experience suitable for your case. Likewise, somebody who has 6 cases added to their repertoire may fit well with a generally uncomplicated money related kind of separation however may not be perfect for a high resource case.
Some separation legal advisors Herreman Law Firm have bookkeeping click here foundations. Along more divorce lawyer info these lines, if your case has a http://www.nickwoodlaw.com genuinely included monetary background you may be very much served by such a man. Comprehend what the fundamental issues are for your situation.
One lawyer may be more grounded on authority issues and another small business SEO on scientific bookkeeping Dallas SEO agencies issues. You ought to recognize the key Austin SEO agencies issues in your separation and present those issues to your forthcoming legal advisor. You then are in a superior position to make your choice in light of that legal advisors foundation as it identifies with your kind of separation.
For instance, cases with noteworthy enthusiastic segments including authority, misuse or unfaithfulness, may be more qualified in the hands of somebody who has considerable experience with the emotional wellness field somehow. Maybe they have utilized psychological well-being experts more than once as a part of their practice. Maybe they have specific information concerning such issues as an aftereffect of preparing, instruction and experience. Maybe their disposition extends a humanistic "Gestalt" which would be especially powerful in displaying your case.
Issues with respect to care require a gifted and experience legal counselor who comprehends the legitimate and additionally mental motion included. While talking with a legal counselor for such a case, inquiries like "Portray the sorts of guardianship question you have taken care of" or "What Continuing Education Courses have you brought managing authority issues?" are especially fitting. As I would like to think, a great legal advisor for guardianship issues ought to be constant yet collected.
On the off chance that your case includes issues of flaw, don't think (in light of "No Fault Divorce" Laws in numerous States) that blame is not an issue. Deficiency is applicable in regards to issues of divorce settlement and property division. I am not discussing moderately minor flaw issues. On the other hand, huge misuse, medication use (counting liquor) and different genuine issue issues should be representatively set in the witness of the Judge.

In order to promote our book on ASP.NET MVC and to spread some love for the library itself, for the Italian ALT.NET conference I printed 40 T-Shirts similar to the one that Chad Myers created on Zazzle last year. It was quite an interesting experience, as I didn't know how many people would have been interested in buying such "marketing" t-shirts. And it turned out that quite a few developers wanted them, as you can notice from the people in the first rows of the room. I ran out of T-Shirts, but I'm thinking...

Camera quality.

Sufficient hardware for the software. I don't want to start a flame war but it is evident that even up to the Galaxy S3 (interntational version) which I currently own, Android phones just weren't as lag free and as smooth as the iPhone 4s and iPhone 5. Of course they both had their lags but i can in a non bias manner say that the iPhone experience is more pleasant due to its speed. However, with the introduction of these superphones with quad core processors, the problem has virtually disappeared. I have to give it to Apple. They really know how to make the right software at the right time for consumers but I love how many things you can do with Android and I am glad the hardware has finally caught up to the software capabilities.
All in all, hardware sufficient enough for the software ex(iPhone 5, Note II, and HTC DNA) is the most important feature to me.

The most important smartphone feature for me is screen size and resolution. I love watching movies and playing games on the go and the better the size and resolution, the more enjoyable that time is.
442. EAnsari247 (Posts: 2; Member since: 14 Dec 2012)
Software & its performance. A phone can have ICS or JB on board, but just how much ICS or JB I'm getting pretty much determines how I feel the phone will perform for me in the long run.

448. bfuller2006 (Posts: 60; Member since: 31 Oct 2011)
When buying a smartphone the feature that means the most to me is the screen. I'm being very generic because there are 2 aspects of the screen I look for which are size and quality. I need a nice big screen to be able to view whats going on whether its watching netflix, youtube or going through my facebook stream, I'm kind of on the blind side. I also need a screen with great viewing quality because I hate seeing my pictures of words distorted because of a screen that can't handle high resolution photos, videos, or text.

well the quad-core sure comes in handy, when your stuck with a 800mhz lmfao single core
456. KurtDawg (Posts: 10; Member since: 31 Jul 2012)
I like the side-sliding QWERTY keyboard of the Motorola Photon Q. Motorola screwed me & their customers over with the original Photon, by looking the bootloader & then not updating to ice cream sandwich. The only way I'm getting this phone is for free.... cause I'm not paying for another Motorola phone again!

4G LTE, Screen Size, Processor, Memory, Camera
458. MasterSyrron (Posts: 59; Member since: 08 Dec 2012)
With our first child on the way (next week!), the camera is the most important thing to me right now. I despise carrying multiple devices -- I need everything all in one! Durability and OS stability are big points for me also!
459. Chenoa94 (Posts: 1; Member since: 15 Dec 2012)
I think there are 3 valuable features on a phone:
1. Phone Storage
2. Screen Size
3. Battery Life
What good is a phone if you dont have enough storage? As we all know nowadays we all have our favorites apps we like to use and download to our phones to inhance them, but how can we do that if we dont have enough phone storage for all these great apps. I know many of us have gotten that disappointing triangle with the exclamation point in the middle or no matter how many apps you delete to make more phone storage there still isn't enough! Many times we have to sacrifice between apps to say goodbye to just so we can have some space in our phone.
As I also mention screen size is another great feature to a phone. But why? What good is a phone if you can't even see the words, type, watch videos, or skype as we all like to do every now and then. Sometimes it hard to things with those small screen, i know someone has seen a person with their phone almost as close to their nose to see the words on the screen. Although it's funny seeing those people walking aroung like that its no fun if its yourself trying to strain to see even a word.
Even though its sad to say people in today's society actually LIVE on their phones, being on it everywhere they go (i.e. church, work, class, and even the bathroom). Seeing as we always have our phones in hand everywhere we go it has to have a good battery life to withstand til we have the time to charge it again . Some batteries die within the hour after charging it. What good is a phone if we can even use it because it went dead while using it?

I hate having to keep a separate nav system, so its really important to me that the navigation is excellent on my phone (and it has been on the android devices I've used!).
461. Sdubb3 (Posts: 19; Member since: 22 Jan 2012)
Memory. One of the main components. With lack of it, all your getting for Xmas is more "Gingerbread" (system crashes).
462. EvaXen (Posts: 4; Member since: 16 Dec 2012)
Most valuable for me is the camera quality.
463. andynaija (Posts: 898; Member since: 08 Sep 2012)
Processing speed is very important.
464. techiekidd (Posts: 4; Member since: 16 Dec 2012)
The most valuable feature of a phone are three. First is the Size of The screen it needs to fit my hands, second is the Storage and battery life especially battery life cause I put my phones to test LOL & last but most definitely not least is the Camera/Video , it meets to have a very high quality camera. :) so put of those three phones I think I would love to have is OPTIMUS G it's a heck of a phone :), I wish luck to everybody and including me LOL
465. desiibab3 (Posts: 4; Member since: 16 Dec 2012)
I don't have one favorite part I have many! I love a large screen with clear display! Wearing glasses and having a small screen is BAD combo! I love a fast processor. With the phone I have now I'll be thirty by time I get something download! I absolutely love a good camera especially if there's a frontal view camera. I love to take pictures (not just of myself either) and having the perfect camera on a phone allows me to capture moments in an instant. Phones have come a very long way, SERIOUSLY!
466. ABsKiLLz (Posts: 3; Member since: 16 Dec 2012)
Obviously the most important feature for a phone would be CPU speed. In todays world, I need a quick phone to keep up with our fast lifestyle!
467. JMBradley_ (Posts: 3; Member since: 15 Dec 2012)
the camera the lg optimus g has! i must have it! an amazing phone
468. techiekidd (Posts: 4; Member since: 16 Dec 2012)
I can go on forever to explain what I look for in a smartphone but I mostly just focus on 3 main things, which are..
•Size of the phone
•Storage & Battery Life
•High quality Camera/Video
Those are the 3 main features that are most important for me and I feel that's the OPTIMUS G has all those features, all the other phones are still awesome but I feel like the optimus is more advanced :D lol
469. kindofabigdeal (Posts: 13; Member since: 04 Mar 2012)
long battery life
470. mtommer (Posts: 1; Member since: 17 Dec 2012)
The touchscreen. This is where all interactions begin and end. If it goes, it doesn't matter if the device still powers on, makes calls, can browse the internet, or multi-task.
471. kicksetc (Posts: 9; Member since: 06 Dec 2012)
Android is the most important feature for me.
472. s8877 (Posts: 15; Member since: 01 May 2012)
The names of the "winners" are suspiciously similar. Is PhoneArena "gives away" all these phones to the same person?
473. 2kTravis (Posts: 7; Member since: 14 Dec 2012)
This is my first time winning. actually this is my first time submitting my name and i won, so i hope its reeal
474. s8877 (Posts: 15; Member since: 01 May 2012)
2kTravis how did you win if your name is not in the list of winners? This giveaways is just a scam. PhoneArena, you should be ashamed of this.

477. fistigons (Posts: 330; Member since: 11 Feb 2012)
Congrats guys/ladies.
478. sagadgreat (Posts: 1; Member since: 18 Dec 2012)
To be honest, the most important feature to me is how long will this phone last with all of the new updates that are being made to current operating systems. With most of my phones being purchased through a carrier contract process, I need to know that my phone can at least move into the next if not the following two iterations of Android dessert goodness (whether through manufacturer updates or rooting ; ) ) so that I am not dissapointed at the end of life when everyone else is getting to enjoy all of the cool new features available to them. Personally I can't afford to pay full out for the latest gadgets, so I always end up with an obsolete phone when it's time to renew. Having Quad core processors and updgraded ram, features that are far beyond what current offerings are providing, is a definite plus. I am currently on an EVO Shift if that gives you any indication of the pain I am feeling from the lack of being able to use all of the features that Jellybean has to offer as well as the upcoming Key Lime Pie. Oh well, antoher year may not be too bad.....hopefully!
479. Movie13 (Posts: 4; Member since: 04 Dec 2012)
The screen size on the Optimus G is Awesome! 4.7" is the perfect size screen for me, easy to watch video and and play games.

Hi Ditmx6,
You can try HERE . I've bought a few things from them and have been happy.
Does anyone know which website has the cheapest laptops? I came across www.pricewatch.com and found that one to be the best so far but was wondering if anyone here knew of somewhere better.
Thanks Steve but I'm actually looking for a newer model then the ones on that site . Do you happen to know of another site that has later models? The system that I'm looking for should have a 2 Gig processor or higher.

LeSean McCoy passed his concussion test last Monday. He's scheduled to visit an independent neurologist on Tuesday. If the star running back is cleared as expected, he's good to go — medically and procedurally — Sunday against the Redskins.
Eagles coach Andy Reid has been wishy-washy about his plan with McCoy. He was non-committal several weeks ago when asked whether the Pro Bowl back would return down the stretch if healthy. His tone changed a bit on Friday.
"I would play LeSean when he is ready to go," Reid said.
Football players like to play football. There is no doubt in my mind McCoy and Michael Vick, each out over a month with concussions, want to play. It's the people around them that may not want the same. They are the ones detailing the potential downside to their respective long-term futures.
To be honest, it's a difficult decision. Vick, for better or worse, doesn't have much to contemplate. He's not going to play unless something happens to rookie quarterback Nick Foles. McCoy, on the other hand, must decide whether playing the final two games of a lost season — the Eagles are 4-10 and long out of playoff contention — is really worth the potential risk.
McCoy missed the last four games after suffering a "serious" concussion in the final seconds of a blowout loss to the Redskins. He was experiencing symptoms three weeks later, struggling with fatigue and headaches at night. Still, he's likely to be cleared. He's paid millions to do his thing on the football field, no matter if his team is 10-4 or 4-10.
So, should LeSean McCoy play Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field against the Redskins? Or should the Eagles and their star running back use extra caution and keep him out for the remainder of the season?

The Toowoomba Carnival of Flowers is coming up (3rd week of September, approx.) and the annual photography competition closes tomorrow. It has three levels of competition - Open (over 18 years), Student (up to and including 18 years) and Historical (no age limit, except on the photos ;) ) Well, when I told Beth about this, she wanted to enter. So here are her items for submission to the competition. I'm also thinking of entering them as part of her Yearly Report for next year. I think she would also have to do another set in a few months for comparison purposes, but then, I'm not sure how I would put it in the report. Anyway, it's vaguely learning oriented, and she's happy with the results. She chose the subjects when she took the photos, and she chose which of the photos she wanted to submit. They were all taken at Toowoomba's Botanical Gardens, Queens Park.
What's a double dissolution?

How can people say YK ? Women's FS has never been as competitive as the men's if one looks objectively.
If I was picking.
Men: No one beats Plushenko. Iin fact no one gets within visual distance of a guy that has been at or very near the top for 16 yrs even after operation after operation after operation. Like him or not, legend.
Pairs: Totmianina/Marinin. Takes more than balls to stay with a guy who dropped you like that, and then win OGM etc.
Ice Dance: Torvill and Dean (skaters will come and go, but Bolero will NEVER be topped, 6's across the board is one of the greatest moments in FS history and I was there to watch it live on tv).
Fun fact: Bolero was longer in length than the Free Skate time limit. But ISU rules stipulate that a dance doesn't start until the skates are on the ice which is why T&D are knelt down swaying from left to right for the first x seconds of the programme.
And if I had to choose from the women.
Lipnitskaya: Barely 15 yrs old, Olympic Games, massive home crowd pressure and expectation. Delivered with diamonds.
Yey I would be thrilled if Plushenko, Kwan, Kim were fighting for my life.
Oda is a thrillig choice.
I am sure he'd cry for my life.
I'd say Yu Na Kim, and 2010 Evan Lysacek. Unlike with most, you're nerves of how they would perform would just sort of melt away once they got to the ice
After these Olympics, I'd def. go with Yuna Kim as my pick for life-vest.
Throwing out Lipniskaia bc she has shown she's not as mentally tough (yet) as people hastily assumed she'd be.
Also a healthy Plushenko for Men (no brainer; I would trust no one else out of this Sochi2014 crowd, for good reason) and Davis/White for Dance. Not sure for pairs ... maybe Shen/Zhao; definitely not V/T as they have a history of making all sorts of "creative" mistakes - too risky.
Yuna Kim for sure

Ulrich Luscher of Orinda, California passed away while hiking in the San Jacinto Mountains near Palm Springs on March 9, 2014, at age 81.
Ulrich was born in Oftringen, Switzerland on July 18, 1932 to Ernst and Hanna (Haller) Luscher. In 1956 he graduated from ETH Zurich, one of the world's premier technical universities. He came to the United States in 1957 to study at MIT, where he received his Ph.D. in Civil Engineering in 1963.
During his four-decade career with Woodward-Clyde Consultants and URS, he contributed to key advances in geotechnical engineering, including work on the Trans-Alaska Pipeline in the 1970s
In 1962 Ulrich married Lenore McGee, with whom he had two sons. He lived in Boston, Houston, and Oakland before settling in Orinda in 1981. Ulrich married Joanne (Lowry) Thompson in 1983 and together they shared a happy 30 years of marriage.
Ulrich was constantly in motion, pursuing skiing (cross-country and downhill), tennis, hiking, mountain climbing, and cycling. He traveled extensively with Joanne and enjoyed spending time at his Serene Lakes cabin. The Donner Summit area served as his backyard for decades, and he could frequently be found on the trails of Royal Gorge and Sugar Bowl. He was very active in the Serene Lakes community and served as Board President of the Serene Lakes Property Owners Association in the 1980s. At the time of his death he was Board President of the Serene Lakes County Water District.
Ulrich was preceded in death by his wife Joanne Luscher. He is survived by family on two continents: his brother (and sister-in-law) Werner (Christine) Luscher and sister Maria Luscher; sons Mark Luscher and Dan Luscher and daughter-in-law LindaKay Brown; four stepchildren (and their spouses) Greg (Kathy) Thompson, David (Colleen) Thompson, Jaimie Eberle, and Valerie (Lars) Pedersen; and thirteen grandchildren.
A celebration of Ulrich's life will be held on Thursday, April 3rd, at 2:00pm at the Lafayette-Orinda Presbyterian Church.

Hi! My name is Greg! I've been a Colts fan for as long as I can remember, probably due to some weird fascination with pain and misery. I live in Canada -I used to live in Indianapolis and I would love to make my way back one day – with my beautiful wife and two absolutely perfect children. I've been writing and podcasting about the Colts for the past 3 years. I have a slight addiction to twitter and should probably seek professional help.

Financial Wizard Lady | Director of Professionalism | Colts Authority Radio Co-Host
Laura Calaway is a behavior change management consultant who has dabbled in amateur sports writing since 2009. She fell in love with the game of football as a young girl, when players like Vince Ferragamo, Eric Dickerson, and Nolan Cromwell graced her father's TV screen (Laura grew up in L.A.). She was originally a fan of the Raiders, and still has a soft spot for Howie Long and Marcus Allen.
In 1991 she decided to root for a less "thuggy" team, and – not wanting to appear to be a bandwagon jumper – chose the 1-15 Colts. The fact that Sean Dawkins, one of her contemporaries and favorite players at Cal, soon joined the team only sealed the deal.
Known as "LovinBlue" in the Colts blogging community, Laura has a particular interest in player injuries and team dynamics. She has an undergraduate business degree from Cal and MBA from Wharton.

Ben lives in Pittsburgh with his wife and dog, doing boring editing work and looking forward to the evenings, when he can watch the same play 15 times to determine which lineman was at fault for a pressure. He vividly remembers every Colts playoff loss since the mid-90s (curse you, Vanderjagt) and hasn't slept well for roughly a week after each of them. He enjoys scotch, Coen brothers movies and obscure TV show references.
Scott Kacsmar
Colts Authority Annual Contributor | Podcast Co-Host
Scott has taken a unique path to Colts' fandom: hailing from Pittsburgh, he's followed the Colts since 2002. The desire to experience real quarterback play (not the likes of Neil O'Donnell and Kordell Stewart) was a huge draw to the Colts and Peyton Manning.
With credit to his OCD over keeping records and his interest in statistics, Scott has created and maintained a variety of NFL-related data over the last eight years, with his research and writing featured on sites such as Pro-Football-Reference, Football Nation and Cold, Hard Football Facts.
His interest in Colts' blogs began with 18to88.com a few years back, and since a lot of his work revolves around the Colts, it would only make sense for it to land on Colts Authority. Scott now writes exclusively for Football Outsiders, but contributes to the Colts Authority Annual and co-hosts CA Radio's Inside the Writer's Block.

Graham flour
Graham flour is a type of flour named after Sylvester Graham (1794–1851), an early advocate for dietary reform.[1]:21, 29 Graham despised the discarding of nutrients and bleaching with alum and chlorine involved in making white flour and white bread, and believed that using all of the grain (without adding chemicals) in the milling of flour and baking of bread, was a remedy for the poor health of his fellow Americans during changes in diet brought on by the Industrial Revolution.
Rather than simply grinding the whole grain wheat kernel (bran, germ, and endosperm), in roller-milled graham flour the components are ground separately.[citation needed] The endosperm is ground finely, initially creating a fresh unbleached yellowish-white flour.[citation needed] The bran and germ are ground coarsely.[citation needed] The two parts are then recombined, creating a coarse-textured flour that bakes well and has a good shelf life. Graham flour is used to make graham crackers and pie crusts, among other things.
An alternate story is told by Helen W. Atwater in her work titled Bread and the Principles of Bread Making. She claimed that Graham simply washed the entire grain, then ground it between large millstones. She contrasts that against the process used for "entire-wheat flour", where the grain was washed, then the three coarse outer layers of bran were removed, after which the grain was ground, supposedly keeping the aleurone layer, but discarding the rough cellulose of the outer bran layers.[2]
According to a 2001 study conducted by Prabhasankar & Rao, stone milling created significantly greater heat of 90 °C (194 °F) than that of roller milling at 35 °C (95 °F).[3] Roller mills incrementally crack the grains, separating the various layers, which must later be recombined,[4] and such milling reportedly tends to result in somewhat larger baked loaf volumes.[5]
Availability and alternatives[edit]
Graham flour is available at health food stores, some grocery stores, bakery supply stores, and some specialty and gourmet food shops, or directly from a flour mill that has experience making it.
A substitute for it would be a mix of unbleached white flour, wheat bran, and wheat germ in the ratios found in whole wheat, but according to an alleged ruling of the Department of Agriculture that reportedly occurred sometime prior to November 1919, such remixing or recombining of the grain-fraction streams from roller mills could not legally be called "Graham" flour.[6] Wheat consists of approximately 83% endosperm, 14.5% bran, and 2.5% germ by mass.[7] For sifted, unbleached white flour, wheat bran, and wheat germ having densities of 125, 50, and 80 grams/cup, respectively, one cup of graham flour is approximately equivalent to 84 g (~2⁄3 cup) white flour, 15 g (slightly less than 1⁄3 cup) wheat bran, and 2.5 g (1.5 teaspoons) wheat germ.
Plain whole wheat flour could also be used as a substitute in recipes,[6] but the resulting baked goods' textures will differ from that of examples where graham flour was used. It was reported in 1913 that bread made from graham flour had a protein content of 12.1%.[8]

Dr. Graham never made Graham flour as it is largely made today. The modern process consists first in separating the wheat into its various constituents; namely, bran, middlings, germ, shorts, and white flour. Different portions of these constituents are mixed together, but not by any means all of them, in the production of the ordinary Graham flour of commerce. Usually one of the low-grade flours is taken as a basis and mixed largely with the flaked bran, and the name, "Graham," is wrongly applied to the product. The officials of the Department of Agriculture, interpreting the Food and Drugs Act, very properly ruled that such a mixture is not entitled to the appellation "Graham." On the other hand, they justly held that the term "Graham" is reserved solely for the product made by grinding the whole grain without adding or subtracting any of its components. In other words, whole wheat flour and Graham flour are synonymous.

After baking, the white wheat flour not only proved the more digestible, but the protein contents were as follows: White wheat flour 12.5% protein Graham flour 12.1 Entire wheat flour 11.9

Backdating caught up with a couple of corporate executives on Wednesday.
A federal grand jury in Manhattan indicted the former chief financial officer of SafeNet Inc. on charges of securities fraud and conspiracy for her role in the alleged backdating of millions of dollars of employee stock options.
The U.S. Attorney's office in Manhattan said Carole Argo "engaged in an illegal scheme to deceive SafeNet's board of directors, shareholders, and auditors, as well as securities analysts, the S.E.C., members of the investing public, and others."
Her goal, it asserted, was to facilitate the "systematic backdating of options grants" and to conceal how much those backdated grants were costing the company and its shareholders.
Prosecutors didn't say precisely how much the practice allegedly did cost shareholders of SafeNet, a computer-security firm in Belcamp, Maryland. But Ron Walker, a U.S. postal inspector, said that Argo and several unnamed co-conspirators executed a "carefully planned scheme" that netted them "millions of dollars."
Backdating the options let Argo and others buy stock for less than their fair-market value on the day the awards were made. That virtually guaranteed a risk-free gain even if the stock price did not rise after then.
At the same time, prosecutors say, they said in public filings that "no gain to the options is possible without stock price appreciation, which will benefit all shareholders."
In a separate case in San Jose, California, the S.E.C. filed a civil lawsuit against the former chief executive of KLA-Tencor Corp. accusing him of repeatedly backdating options, even after being advised by a company lawyer that the practice was wrong.

• Alkaline reflux gastritis is being recognized with increasing frequency after operations that ablate the pylorus as a true sphincter. Medical management is generally ineffective for patients with severe reflux gastritis, but Roux-en-Y diversion of bile and of pancreatic and intestinal secretions provides gratifying results. We studied 100 patients who underwent remedial operation. Roux-en-Y gastrojejunostomy or Tanner's vs Roux-19 procedure gave good to excellent results in most of the 73 patients followed up for from one to six years. Reflux gastritis can occur in association with other postgastrectomy disorders. Fifteen patients with reflux gastritis also had severe dumping or postvagotomy diarrhea. Good to excellent results were obtained in most of these patients by Roux-en-Y diversion combined with an antiperistaltic jejunal segment.

Prosecutor James LaSala has offered the couple the chance to have their dogs, deemed potentially dangerous, sent to an out-of-state rescue facility. The pact would also force the pair to pay the $10,000 the township says it has cost to house the dogs.
Then, the Kolbs were charged with violating a court order by not muzzling their 100-plus-pound mastiff-type dogs, Jumba and Imani, when they took them for a walk Oct. 11, 2011. About a week later, police took the dogs, and the dogs have been in Jefferson Township custody since.
The dogs currently reside in Woofs N Whiskers in Andover, Susan Kolb has said.
LaSala has told the Star-Ledger the owners — not necessarily the dogs — are the problem.
"These people have proven that they're incapable of taking care of these dogs appropriately," LaSala told the paper. "They are completely insensitive to the danger that these dogs obviously represent."
LaSala said last week that though he's proposing the dogs be relocated, he didn't believe they could be fully tamed.

Rockets Near Jerusalem and Petraeus on the Hill

Fredonia downs Penn State Behrend women
- Fredonia 67, PS-Behrend 44: At the Junker Center, Becky Hebert scored 21 points as Fredonia romped over the Lions in a sloppy non-conference game.
Fredonia (3-1) forced 32 turnovers and limited Behrend to 37 percent shooting. The Blue Devils' bench outscored Behrend's 21-0.
Behrend (1-2) stuck around for the first half, trailing only 24-21 at halftime. But Fredonia had 10-2 run midway through the second half to take a 51-33 lead and extended it to as much as 25 points.
Mercyhurst Prep graduate Ally Burke led the Lions with 17 points, while forward Julia Myers hauled down nine rebounds.
