Ben Wildavsky's Wall Street Journal review of Real Education is much better than this. One point: Wildavsky worries that in Murray's system, capable students will be tracked, early on in their educational careers, into academically undemanding courses and eventually similar jobs. Those who, with a little tough love and nurturing and fine teaching, could have become doctors and lawyers will end up mechanics and plumbers.
While determinative tracking is a bad idea, it is not a bad idea to allow pupils who want to be mechanics and plumbers--regardless of their academic potential--to be... mechanics and plumbers. Instead, we shuttle them as 16-, 17-, and 18-year-olds into college-preparatory classes that they don't enjoy and they feel are wastes of time. Seriously, let's give these near-adults some educational and vocational options and quit shoving college down their throats. Murray's book makes some solid and compelling points about this that Wildavsky ignores.
Kevin Carey treats Charles Murray unfairly. Carey, reviewing Murray's new book Real Education, writes:
Yet an active strain of educational hobo-phobia remains, a persistent, largely sub rosa muttering that perhaps too many of the wrong kind of people are being allowed inside the ivy-covered walls. It's not respectable conversation outside of conservative circles, due to its unvarnished elitism and 0-for-the-last-60-years-and-counting historical track record. But it lives on, and now has a new standard-bearer in the person of Charles Murray...
Come on. Besides being boring, this is just drips with all sorts of overpowering nasty implications. The rest of Carey's review is similarly accusatory and haughty without ever??even approaching the realms of cleverness or originality.??The??article certainly is not as infallible and a priori right and just its author--The EduOne, shall we call him?--seems to believe.
Update: And really, why would any publication??ask Carey to review Real Education? That's like asking me to review Das Kapital.
"Senator wants all schools to open on same day"
According to the AP article:
Sen. Thomas Gaffey, a Democrat from Meriden, is upset that some schools are opening this week while others are not.... Gaffey says it makes no sense to hold classes for a few days this week, only to send students and teachers home for a long three-day holiday weekend.
Here's a suggestion, Senator: Run for school board. Then you can weigh in on these weighty issues. Otherwise, butt out.
Kudos to New York City for launching a new pilot program to put Core Knowledge in ten city schools. But what's the matter with Schools Chancellor Joel Klein that he can't get himself to admit that the "balanced literacy" program in use throughout the system is hogwash? "I view it as building on but not in any way repudiating [balanced literacy]--our results speak for themselves."
Mr. Chancellor, a couple of months ago you admitted to me and 300 of our closest friends that "Month by Month" phonics was a big mistake. Why not acknowledge that balanced literacy is screwy too? (Read this report to understand why.)
Sol Stern gets the last word: "I can finally say something nice about one of Klein's curriculum choices. Unfortunately, it's just a few schools in the sixth year of his administration. But at least it looks like he's educable."...
Following up on yesterday's post on Baltimore's K-12 culinary reforms, here's a look at the types of "food" that Baltimore students presumably were ingesting before the changes.
While taking the Washington Teachers Union to task today, the Post is mostly spot on. They are right to point out that the union is largely acting against the interests of its members, especially in terms of how much money is being offered to all teachers, green and red track alike. They run into some trouble near the end, however, when they address the issue of seniority. Professing they find the opposition by older experienced teachers "perplexing", the Post editors ask: "Isn't the argument for the seniority pay scale based on the notion that experienced teachers do a better job?"
At first glance, this seems nothing more than a stock rhetorical question getting at the heart of a contradiction--experienced teachers should be "better" and therefore benefit from and support merit pay. If experience is correlated with performance, we should be seeing...
I'm working on a piece about the Bush education legacy, and I'm thinking about the notion that these years have seen a flourishing of reform efforts and leaders. (It certainly appears that Bush's No Child Left Behind Act has given cover to reform-minded Democrats.)
Here's one question: are today's big-city superintendents more reform-minded than their predecessors in the pre-NCLB age? I'm not so sure. Take a look*:
I'd argue that only Klein's New York and Rhee's Washington, D.C., have seen a real sea change in leadership since 2001. (I'd count Duncan, Ackerman, and Johnson as reformers too, but their predecessors deserved that label also.) Of course, it so happens that the nation's media and policy elites are concentrated in New York City and D.C.; maybe that's why there's a perception that radical reform is afoot. To my eyes, maybe not.
* I picked the ten biggest metro areas, which aren't necessarily the biggest school systems, but they are what most people think of when they picture "big cities."...
CATO's Neil McCluskey, at the end of a long post arguing against my call for national standards and tests, says of the idea that "harsh reality just seems to??eclipse impossible dreams."
Isn't this the same CATO that advocates a universal education tax credit system? I thought CATO specialized in impossible dreams. Strange.
"Cuando los progres no quieren paternalism," por George Will
There's a lot for conservatives to dislike about the Bush Administration when it comes to education and the No Child Left Behind Act. But they should give the President some credit: he certainly split the Democratic Party on the issue. Consider the news out of Denver, where the "Ed Challenge for Change" event showcased the bitter divide between progressive reformers and teachers unions--a direct outcome, I would argue, of NCLB. Consider this, from the Rocky Mountain News:
"It is a battle for the heart of the Democratic Party," said Corey Booker, the 39-year-old rising star mayor of Newark, N.J. "We have been wrong in education," Booker said of his party and its alliances with teachers unions that put adults before children. "It's time to get right." Booker was among those who appeared Sunday at the Denver Art Museum to challenge the Democratic Party to reconsider its course on education. In references sometimes veiled and sometimes blunt, they tackled the party's often-cozy relationship with the National Education Association and the American Federation of Teachers, which typically support--financially and otherwise--Democratic candidates. "The Democratic Party is supposed to look out for poor and minority kids," said Washington,...

Recently, Tamar Braxton had some negative comments about "Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta" reality star Joseline Hernandez, where Tamar claims Hernandez still looks like a dude despite proving she's born a female, during her appearance on Tameka "Tiny" Harris' "Tiny Tonight" that aired on Vh1 last Tuesday night.
Now, Joseline is going in on Tamar after appearing on Kandi Burruss "Kandi Koated Knights" last night along with her trusty MAN-ager Stevie J.
Here's what she had to say:
"I want to say this to this old, crusty, tired Beyonce wannabe, throwback, no career having old lady, get off my back home girl. I don't even know you. But I tell you what I fight old ladies, so chill the f**k out."Damn, she went in!
First of all Tamar, they been saying you look like a dude four years ago. B***h you the one that look like a man, don't get it twisted. Don't go there. For real for real you like 50 years old. I'm a young broad, I don't know you, why you f**king with me. I don't know who you are, I know your sister."
"I did hear that your song was nice and a lot of people bought it but damn its about time, its been 50 years you've been trying. Somebody should a bought something about time. That b***h ain't 35. If she 35 then I'm 17 and we know I ain't 17. She need to take that money and do PLASTIC BETTER SURGERY."

When Henry County residents go to cast their ballots in the presidential race Nov. 8, they will have the opportunity to vote for other federal, state and local candidates.
While Democrat Hillary Clinton and Republican Donald Trump seek the highest elective office in the land, contested races have emerged down ballot, as well.

The City of Eminence will welcome the planned Tristan Ridge apartments by assisting with the installation of a new sewer line to serve the $6.7 million, 44-unit apartment complex for seniors, according to a discussion at the Aug. 8 city council meeting.
A former Henry County Public Schools employee was arraigned in Henry County Circuit Court Thursday on charges of sexual abuse.
Tara Nutter, who was employed by HCPS as a bus monitor beginning in August of 2015, is accused of engaging in sex acts with an 18-year-old male student. However, the charges do not stem from that relationship but from the fact that Nutter and the student engaged in those sex acts while on the school bus where other students under the age of 16 could have witnessed them.
One of his young victims requested Charles Thomas Hagan receive the "maximum penalty for grown men who touch underage girls sexually" in her victim impact statement, while the second said she just wants him to stay away from her family.
On July 21, Hagan pleaded guilty to four counts of second-degree sexual abuse, which are Class A misdemeanor charges. Original charges against Hagan were classified at the Class D felony level, sexual abuse in the first degree.

Prof. Marion Howe Honored at Piano Extravaganza
On Friday, two wonderful 7-foot Schimmel pianos were moved in for the concert, compliments of Forte Piano in Paramus, NJ, adding to our two concert grands on stage. Our piano technician, Marat Burla from Hastings-on- Hudson, spent five hours tuning the four grand pianos on Friday. Perfect unisons with four pianos is a mighty task.
On Saturday, seventeen pianists rehearsed throughout the day leading up to the 7:30 p.m. program. Faculty, alumni, and students coordinated their efforts in what was arguably the most unique concert in the history of the School of Music.
Prof. Marion Howe generated the concept for this concert back in May. Homecoming concerts under her leadership for many years have included brass ensembles, flute ensembles, piano soloists, vocal soloists, etc. Dr. Tammy Lum developed the concept over the summer. She and Marion contacted piano alumni from the 1940s to the present. The interest was high and many were eager and willing to travel a long way to the campus to participate.
Tammy's knowledge of music for multiple pianos, coupled with her ability to organize very complex events, resulted in a program of music by Bach, Smetana, Weber, Dahl, Feldman, Milhaud, Sousa, and Liljestrand. The stylistic diversity was amazing�something for everyone.
Morton Feldman's chance music for four pianos was gorgeous and very
rarely heard. The Bach was accompanied by our string orchestra. And Sousa's Stars and Stripes Forever was performed by ten pianists, snare drum, and two piccolos sipping pretty glasses of spring water on stage, picnic style!
Just before the final piece, Tammy invited Marion Howe to the stage of the full auditorium. Paul Liljestrand had composed Psalm 23 as a choral piece, accompanied by four pianos and dedicated it to Prof. Howe. Tammy read Paul's beautiful words of dedication and she presented Marion with the framed original manuscript signed by Paul.
The emotions of the moment were overflowing, and Tammy gave the
"downbeat" for this deeply moving composition. An ensemble of alumni soloists performed this premier performance with great expression in praise to the Lord and in thankfulness for Marion's profound contribution to the lives of thousands of students during her unprecedented tenure of more than five decades at Nyack College.
Dr. Elio Cuccaro pronounced the benediction with thanks to the Lord for Prof. Marion Howe, our colleague, friend, and spiritual mentor.
Please join me in thanking Tammy for her tireless efforts and expertise in planning and bringing to fruition the 2005 "Piano Extravaganza" concert.

WASHINGTON - Bernard Hopkins continues on his relentless march, adding more to his place in boxing history.
The 49-year-old Philadelphia native added another several blocks on his career legacy Saturday night by giving Beibut Shumenov a boxing lesson and winning a 12-round split decision to unify three light-heavyweight title belts.
The announcement of a split decision sent gasps through the crowd. Judge Gustavo Padilla of Panama had Shumenov in front, 114-113. But two judges, Dave Moretti of Las Vegas and Jerry Roth of Las Vegas, each had it 116-111 for Hopkins.
Fighting before a crowd of 6,823 at D.C. Armory, including world junior-welterweight champion Danny Garcia of Philadelphia, Hopkins gave Shumenov all kinds of trouble with his awkward, plodding style. At one point, Shumenov turned to referee Earl Brown and put a hand out, indicating he wanted Hopkins to fight, and Hopkins landed a right hook to his ear.

Shoulder to Shoulder
Our Shoulder to Shoulder volunteer mentoring programme in Scotland supports ex-service men and women who are recovering from mental health issues or having difficulty adjusting to civilian life. We also support veterans' families, recognising that there is often little acknowledgement of the unique challenges they face.
Last year 22,530 personnel left the regular Armed Forces. Over 27% will have a mental health disorder. The Ashcroft Review (The Veterans Transition Review, February 2014) found that for Early Service Leavers the struggle after service life can be even more difficult – only 50% were in employment after six months. For some this can lead to offending, dependence on alcohol and drugs, homelessness and mental health problems.
TimeBank recruits and trains volunteer mentors to befriend and support veterans and their families.
We know that volunteer mentoring can be a powerful tool. It can help veterans lead independent lives, with the confidence to identify goals, lead on their own recovery plans and take control of their lives.
And it can help family members tackle isolation, signpost them to services to help and help them build supportive social networks.

What I need is for an experienced Joomla developer to add some food menus (There are five different cuisine each have 5/6 categories, i.e starter, main meal, etc). I also need to have a searchable directory for venues. i.e by alphabetical order or by name or location.
Each venue then will have a description, address, map, photo gallery. There are around 60 venue. All these data need to be searched by the developer. I only have the venue name, however, it is not very difficult as most of these venue have their own website and are easy to find after a google search.
This is a small project and I will have more job if I find someone experienced and reliable.

TravelPod Member ReviewsAston At Papakea Resort Lahaina
Perfect Location right on the water and a clean and tidy appartment with all the gear you could want. Great booking service for tours as well, but don't waste the time doing the Time Share lecture to save some money....what a waste of 90 minutes.

Historical Traveler Reviews Aston At Papakea Resort Lahaina
Stayed here twice, and loved it! We'll be back!
We love the Papakea, but how nice your condo is depends on who owns it.
We stayed the first time in an "OK" condo, the second time in a fantastic condo! The desk staff is fantastic, and the location is nice and quiet, yet close to everything. We love it there, and it's the only place we'll ever stay on Maui!
Nice Grounds!
The grounds here are very good,but the condo we stayed need some maintainance. When we closed the drapes they were very dusty! The room needed some paint and some fixing up. it didnt look as nice as the pictures on the web. more like some apartment someone else was still living in.But I would say sitting out on the balcony was very nice.come to see the grounds but I would look somewhere else better to stay.
Do not stay here!
Our room was burglarized while we were asleep the first night of our honeymoon. We suspect an inside job because our door was deadbolted. We are still in dispute to retrieve our losses.
The best vacation ever!
My husband and I stayed at the Papakea Resort over the fourth of July. We really had a wonderful time. Our condo was very well done, with everything we needed to feel right at home. We had our morning coffee every day sitting out on our deck. We spent the Fourth of July in Lahina, which was really fun. We were truly impressed with this resort and highly recommend it. We will be back.
The Papakea is great
Stayed several days at the Papakea with two adults and two kids - this is a great condo - make sure you get an oceanfront room - breakfast and dinner on the Lanai can't be beat! the grounds are beautiful - the staff are not too great, but they leave you alone mostly - we rented from a private party (Roos Realty) and I think we were happier doing so - I know it was cheaper that way too, and I think the quality of the room was better. The location is right across from a supermarket and five minutes from Whaler's village - easy to get everywhere. The Embassy Suites is right there - also a super place to stay - we played on their beach and in their pool a lot and loved it there as much as the Papakea - but it is more expensive and definately more crowded... Most of the condos in this area (north Kaanapali) seemed nice - the Papakea had no beach, but there was one right next door and the grounds of the Papakea are really mellow and pretty - very low key and relaxing....koi ponds, putting greens, nice pools with a hula show on Monday nights..... We also checked out the Kuleana up the road a bit (friends stayed there) - it is really nice and quiet - definately best for couples with no kids..... after the Papakea we spent a few days at the Westin to have a better pool to play in and that was a great way to go - the kids had just enough fun in the awesome pools there and we had already done all our day trips while we were paying the low rate at the condo and eating cheaper at "home" (paying the super high hotel rates for rooms and food and then spending all day at other locations seemed silly, so once we moved to the Westin we stayed there and played at the great pool and beach)
Papakea is wonderful!
We stayed at Papakea from August 16-23, 2003, and it was wonderful! We had saved Maui for last in our tour of three islands, (We also visited Oahu and Kauii.) because we love Maui, and Papakea didn't let us down.
The grounds are beautiful. The people are friendly and couldn't be more helpful. When we arrived, they had upgraded us to a three bedroom, and the unit was great. We will definitely return, and we thank them. The spirit of Aloha lives at Papakea! Mahalo!
Excellent value for the cost.
We have stayed at Papakea on three occassions and it always feels like home when we get back there. The grounds are beautifull and the view from the ocean front lanai on our condo is breathtaking. Highly recomend this resort. You are only 4 miles north of Lahaina Town, so there is no lack of things to see and do.
Spectacular oceanfront condo
Aston Papakea has a nice family atmosphere and a lovely view of the ocean. We rented an oceanfront condo for $120.00 each night and it was wonderful. The price was just right and the view was stunning. We never missed a sunset!!! It was a great experience for us. If you are looking for a nice, quiet vacation this is the place to visit!!
Nice place
This was our first trip to Maui and I loved this place. The grounds were beautiful. My husband and I were practically by ourselves when we would sit on the lawn chairs to watch the sunset. The room had a washer/dryer, full size refrigerator, full kitchen w/plates, utensils,wine opener etc. Room was clean, tastefully decorated, 1 bedroom parital ocean view which was perfect for us. Our room faced the parking lot and it did get a little loud on the weekends late at night.
Good condo complex at great value
These condos have similar floor plans but different decor and furnishings because they are supposively individually owned. For instance, our kitchen had nice cabinets with hanging lamps. Other condos had fluorescent fixtures and others had recessed lighting. Our TV was 19 inches and our other party had a 27". We had 2 bedroom condo which includes one loft with 2 twin beds.Pluses:Nice koi ponds. Grounds were meticulously maintained. Next to ocean with seawall. Two small pools. Tennis courts. Shuffleboard available ($3/hr rental). Lanai for every room. Morning paper. Activity World desk in registration lobby for excursions and luaus. Free continental breakfast for a presentation of Activity World's excursion offers. Good registration hosts. Free parking.Minues:Our bedroom was facing the parking lot and we heard a lot of noise from cars, people going out early to visit Haleakala sunrise at 3 AM, and tons of birds chirping at 5:30 AM (sunrise). One elderly couple was screaming at some young people talking at the outside hallway to go to sleep at 1 AM. There are signs for a noise curfew from 10 PM to 7 AM but apparently there are a lot of people functioning at different time zones.Housekeeping was fair. We were missing towels and kitchen cleanup was sporadic. One time we asked the maid to return in an hour because we were still eating breakfast but she insisted on cleaning up while we were in the room because she had a busy schedule and couldn't return. That's when I stopped tipping, but I'm not sure if this kind of service was a common experience.There's a small shutter window between the loft and our bedroom downstairs which allowed my kids to hear everything my wife and I were saying.The loft tends to be warm despite air conditioning and a ceiling fan.Monkey pod trees drops a lot of brown seeds (size of raisins) which kept sticking to the bottom of my sandals. Very annoying.

There was ZERO shortage of food, wine, desserts, coffee...and more wine! Sample list of foods included: ...

Back on shore, we retrieve our keys, and talk to one of the group who does a fair bit of snorkeling, but don't get a lot of encouragement in terms of finding better snorkeling than that we have ...

Dotty Lemieux: Invisible Paul Ryan can dodge and weave an invisible Todd Akin as he tells people his own plan for limiting abortion and protecting Medicare. Real senior citizens can pelt him with mock vouchers from the wings.
Controlling Women's Bodies
Ruth Rosen: What neither side wants to say is that this is a counter-reformation, an attempt to return women to the early 1960s, before birth control pill existed and the Supreme Court established the right of contraception in the United States.
Republican War on Birth Control Will Boost Democrats in November
Randy Shaw: Considering that polls show that 99% of all women and 98% of Catholic women who have had sex have used contraceptives, Democrats should follow Senator Barbara Boxer's lead and aggressively frame the November elections around this issue.
Own It, Barack!
Lucia Brawley: The more hard-hitting and direct you are the better. The more you own your critics' ammunition against you and turn it on them, the more effective you'll be.
The Dichotomy of Mitt Romney
Tracy Emblem: Mitt Romney offers no solutions on how individuals and states will be able to reduce health care costs. Without buying power or other cost containment provisions, the economics of "market" is always what the market will bear. There is no incentive to lower costs because people need medical care – it's a commodity that must be purchased.

Tom Degan: Not only would the candidacy of Sarah Palin guarantee the reelection of Barack Obama, it would be a months-long holiday for political satirists everywhere.
Hollywood's Fix for America's Three and a Half Trillion-Dollar Lobbying Addiction
Nomiki Konst: The United States of America has a dirty little secret. We're addicted to a drug. A drug dealt everyday in the halls of Congress, on the streets of Washington, and at the exclusive Georgetown soirees. That drug is corruption, pure and simple. And the dealers are lobbyists. The year 2009 was record breaking for the lobbying industry, mostly due to the health care debate, with total spending on all issues at more than $3.47 billion.
Health Care Battle Ends; War on Social Security Begins
Shamus Cooke: FL-CIO President Richard Trumka offers a splendid vision: "The best way to fix the deficit is to create 10 million jobs now — the number of jobs needed to close our jobs deficit. This will require large amounts of public investment in the short term, which should be paid for in future years by taxing Wall Street. In addition to creating jobs for Main Street this tax will also curb short-term speculation and other Wall Street abuses that caused this recession."
Medicare-for-All: The Answer to a President's Call and a Nation's Woes
Dr. Margaret Flowers: I was overjoyed to hear you say in your State of the Union address on Wednesday night: "But if anyone from either party has a better approach that will bring down premiums, bring down the deficit, cover the uninsured, strengthen Medicare for seniors, and stop insurance company abuses, let me know." My colleagues, fellow health advocates and I have been trying to meet with you for over a year now because we have an approach which will meet all of your goals and more.
Massachusetts Debacle
John Peeler: The defeat of Martha Coakley in the race to succeed Ted Kennedy certainly shows the folly of taking victory for granted and failing to mount a serious campaign. But it also puts on display the complete political incompetence of the Obama administration and the national leadership of the Democratic Party and the Congress.

"Can we have a new Senate for Christmas," asked blogger Joan McCarter yesterday at Daily Kos. "This one is broken." It's time for politicians to stop hiding behind an inaccurate, outdated and dishonest view of America. We are not conservative!
What Do Fox News and the Black Media Have in Common?
But it must be said that if the president can do mainstream and Spanish language television media to push his health care plan, the Black media should be included. Black people have just as much to lose or gain as anyone else depending on the plan that passes.
American Retirees Move To Mexico For Health Care
Many citizens of immigrant-sending countries have better access to health care at home than they would in the US, but that also doesn't mean that they will flood the borders if the US health care system significantly improves.

What's In Our Name?
"Claim clubs, also called actual settlers' associations or squatters' clubs, were a nineteenth-century phenomenon in the American West. Usually operating within a confined local jurisdiction (unlike Claim.Club), these pseudo-governmental entities sought to regulate land sales in places where there was little or no legal apparatus to deal with land-related quarrels of any size. Some claim clubs sought to protect squatters, while others defended early land owners. In the twentieth century, sociologists suggested that claim clubs were a pioneer adaptation of democratic bodies on the East coast, including town halls." - Wikipedia
Claim clubs were essentially designed to "do what politicians refused to do: Make land available to needy settlers." Their general purpose was to protect the first settlers to arrive on unclaimed lands, particularly in their rights to speculate and cultivate. Speculating and cultivating. That's what the internet is for after all. More or less Claim.Club (or CC) would like to see domain governance more like that of the old wild West, only funded with Bitcoin.
In war time "non com" is a short term for non-combatant, but we use the phrase to refer to non dot-com domains, i.e. ccTLDs, new gTLDs, or domain hacks.
What Do We Claim?
Claim.club seeks to continue the self governing, innovative spirit of the civilian internet by helping individuals and organizations gain access to previously unavailable, expressive, impactful, state-of-the-art domains. Below is a sample of what we offer.

Founder Statement
I first had this idea for the Claim Club in 2009 when I was 20 years old, I was looking for a good domain name to start a domain name club and after reading about the 19th century phenomenon of the claim clubs or squatters clubs who were seen as a positive force in the american "wild west" (yet on the internet "cybersquatter" is a bad word) and so I decided to go with "Claim Club".
Already back then most good dot-com domains were unavailable and ClaimClub.com was no exception so I looked elsewhere or to what I call "undiscovered digital landmarks". At the time I was not aware of the Domai.nr (now Domainr.com) "domain hack" tool which helps users find available domains at so called alternative domain endings however I knew of the little Isle of Man and its .IM ccTLD and happy I was when I found out that Cla.im was available for registration and I did register it for less than £100, a great domain at a good price, I felt like in the '90s. I then went on registering the Facebook URL Facebook.com/ClaimClub and the Twitter handles @Claim and @ClaimClub suffice to say I had a strong online identity but one important thing was missing: I had no niche.
With no good dot-com domains available and little money what did I do? I looked at words similar to Cla.im those little known domains that one of the Xona brothers started calling domain hacks. Rapidly I found hundreds, thousands of those domain names available at registration fee. I had discovered my niche, my El Dorado.
Back in '09 only a few domain hacks were in use like inter.net (registered in 1992) and del.icio.us (later acquired by Yahoo!), hackers loved them, entrepreneurs like Wordpress founder Matt Mullenweg (calling his domain Ma.tt something of a life change) were spending a little fortune to get theirs. Yet domain hacks had a bad reputation in the domain business, most domainers wanted nothing to do with them, therefore there was no market for domain hacks. Little did they know behind my @DomainHacks Twitter handle I was making four, five figure sales a month selling hacks to startups like Camfrog, Wolfram|Alpha, MailChimp, SocialFlow, Answers.com, Square Inc. even to Kim Dotcom who had my domain ME.GA suspended and later ironically purchased K.IM from me for $20,000.
Then Instagr.am got started (acquired by Facebook for a billion dollars before moving to the dot-com), .ME was launched, startups were crazy about .LY, .CO was launched, I created my first company Anonymous Media LLC, I launched both RocketName and BrightNames to sell my domains and slowly not-com domains were dethroning the almighty dot-com in the sale charts.
Long story short (which is by the way what makes domain hacks so great: their size) I ended up selling Cla.im to Claimable.com for four figures and forgot about the Claim Club for a while too busy traveling the world while hand registering domain hacks. I had heard of the coming dot-com apocalypse, at first I thought it was a bad idea to launch new extensions, that it would flood the internet with crappy domains, which is exactly what happened in the end but I remember how happy I had been when finding great domains available at affordable prices and thought more internet users should benefit from that. The .CLUB was one of the very first new gTLDs to launch that's when I got the idea back to start a domain claim club. my luck turned again and I hand registered Claim.Club for less than $100.
Now seven years later my idea has grown and I am (almost) ready to launch the Claim.Club: the first exclusively not-com domain name aftermarket with Bitcoin as main currency.
Welcome to the CLAIM.CLUB.

5/3/1+ Day, Squats & Bench
Squats: 205/235/260
Bench: 140/160/180
I've never had 260# on my back before. Gonna be a little frightening, although my projected 1RM indicates I should be good for at least 3 or 4 reps. To be seen.
Maybe power cleans after that fun. Depends on how late I get started.
Edited: Got 5 reps with the 260. Last one was a grind. GRRRRIIIIND. 9 reps on bench with the 180. Really wanted 10. Had to leave the bar on the pins. Power cleans: A few sets of 3 with 135. A single with 145. A single with 155 that felt really good/right/pure. Went for 165. Probably would have racked if I'd gotten under it better, but I think I pulled it with my arms. Would have been a PR, although it still seriously lags behind my other lifts. Oh well. Ate a huge venison steak.

text: Each year motorists would have to have their emissions checked and their mileage recorded. Then emissions could be multiplied by total miles driven to find total emissions, which would then be subject to a tax. One can think of many potential problems: tampering with odometers, getting the car tuned up just before a visit to the emissions check station, collecting emissions taxes on cars that are junked during the year, etc. But the system certainly would have a direct incentive effect, not only to shift to low-emission vehicles, but also to drive fewer miles.

Hi all
My 2001 Chevy Tahoe has lost its power steering. I checked the fluid and it is at the correct level. All belts seem to be intact and in good working order.
This happened suddenly last night - I think when I was taking a hard left turn.
Any ideas what else I can check to determine what is at fault? I don't have a service manual. Is there any relay or electrical component to the power steering?

Release the belt tension and see if you can move the PS pump pulley in/out. Could be a broken pump drive shaft. Seen that more than once.

Georges Wilson, (born Oct. 16, 1921, Champigny-sur-Marne, Val-de-Marne, France—died Feb. 3, 2010, Rambouillet, Yvelines, France) French actor and director who was a respected character actor for more than six decades on the stage and in more than 100 motion pictures and television programs; in 1963 he succeeded Jean Vilar as director of the Théâtre National Populaire (TNP). Wilson began acting in amateur productions, and in 1952 Vilar invited him to join the TNP, where his roles included Ubu in Alfred Jarry's Ubu roi, the title character in Shakespeare's King Lear, and Vladimir in Samuel Beckett's En attendant Godot. Perhaps his best-known film role was Captain Haddock in Tintin et le mystère de la toison d'or (1961); his other films include Une aussi longue absence (1961), The Three Musketeers (1973), Je ne suis pas là pour être aimé (2005), and L'Ennemi public no 1 (2008). As director of the TNP (1963–72) and later of the Théâtre de l'Oeuvre (1978–95), Wilson staged productions of Shakespeare, Molière, and Corneille, as well as modern playwrights such as Bertolt Brecht, John Osborne, Harold Pinter, and Tom Stoppard.

Description: This seminal book, originally published in 1988, has been republished, but not revised, by a new publisher, the American College of Physicians. The author acknowledges that there have been some changes in medical decision making since the initial publication, but that does not detract from this reissue. In fact, reading through this book emphasizes the accuracy and validity of the initial work, despite the time that has passed.
Purpose: The stated goals were for physicians and students to use the principles of probabilistic reasoning and expected-value medical decision making in day-to-day practice. Today, more than ever, this is a necessary step in providing cost-effective and safe medical care.
Audience: The audience includes every practitioner at every level, from the resident in training to the experienced attending and all levels in between, including physician-extenders. The author is one of the most respected practitioners and editors in medical literature in America.
Features: The author describes the process of developing a differential diagnosis, moves through probability theory, lands directly in the heart of the decision-making process, and resurfaces in a discussion of cost-effectiveness in managing medical care. The journey is made exquisitely and entertainingly effective and educational with its accessible text and "typical" patient-physician conversations. The figures, examples, and tables are superb, illustrating the statistical points of discussion. The index is most appropriate, and because the book is dated, the references are appropriate for the original publication date. The author states his intention to update the book upon retirement and hopefully this will occur. At the end of each section there are summaries, problems, and definitions of new words encountered in the chapter.
Assessment: Despite being a republication, this remains a highly valuable and educational book, with the vast majority of the information relevant to medical decision making in the current era. It deserves a place in every practitioner's library.

Astrid Gude
Let go, release the past and move forward with your heart filled with love and gratitude.
The long nights and the transition between years invite us to take time out, listen deeply within and look at where we stand in our lives, at what served well last year, what needs to be released and what, when opening to guidance and tapping into our own inner wisdom, wants to emerge.
Times of stillness, guided meditations, rituals, creative expression, practices drawn from shamanism and a variety of spiritual traditions, will lead us through this journey of recapitulation, release, purification, inviting a vision and setting new intentions until we feel confident to open up to the new with love, joy, gratitude and a sense of purpose.

Jobless rate unchanged in Milwaukee metro area
The unemployment rate in the four-county Milwaukee metropolitan area stood unchanged at 6.1% in May from April but improved from 7.1% in May last year, according to estimates released Wednesday by the state Department of Workforce Development. Of Wisconsin's 12 major metro areas, preliminary unemployment rates decreased in 10 metro areas in May from April and remained unchanged in two. All 12 improved compared to rates a year earlier.
Data at the city level are not seasonally adjusted.
The monthly unemployment rate report is useful for comparing one metro region of the state to another in the same month. The May 2014 rates ranged from a low of 4% in metro Madison to 7% in metro Racine. The Milwaukee metro area includes all of Milwaukee, Ozaukee, Washington and Waukesha counties.
The unemployment rates, without seasonal adjustments, correlate to a statewide improvement to 5.5% in May from 5.9% in April. After seasonal adjustments, which are available at the statewide level, the state's jobless rate fell to 5.7% in May from 5.8% in April and 6.8% in May 2013.
Monthly jobs data are prone to major revisions because the government bases its monthly findings on extremely sparse sample sizes, which create a wide margin of error.

Metropolitan Women Prone to Diabetes, Thyroid Diseases: Survey
By PTI
Published: 28th May 2014 09:16 PM
Last Updated: 28th May 2014 09:16 PM
NEW DELHI: Diabetes and Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH) are two common diseases prevalent among women in India, especially those living in metropolitan cities, a recent survey has found.
The survey conducted by Mumbai-based Metropolis Healthcare Ltd on women living in Delhi, Bangalore, Mumbai and Kolkata revealed a rise in the two diseases among youngsters.
A significant number of women within the age group of 20 to 30 years were diagnosed with TSH, the survey revealed.
Out of the 34,004 samples collected, 28.88 per cent women were found with high TSH levels leading to Hypothyroidism, which causes fatigue, weakness, abnormal menstrual cycles, muscle cramps and frequent muscle aches.
Over 48.63 per cent women fell in the age group 20 to 30 years indicating an alarming trend of younger population being diagnosed with symptoms of Hyper and Hypothyroidism.
The survey was released on the eve of 'International day of action for women's health' observing the common diseases which affect women population in the country.
The survey also reported that a significant number of youngsters examined in the national capital showed the signs of high diabetes.
Out of 4,712 samples tested for Diabetes (Hb1ac), 52.22 per cent reported high diabetes levels. Women within the age group of 40 to 60 years showed greater symptoms of acquiring the disease.

The New Essential Standards are written using the Revised Bloom's Taxonomy (RBT) under the guidance of one of the authors of the revision, Lorin Anderson. North Carolina has chosen RBT to help move to the complex thinking expected from 21st Century graduates. The RBT was chosen because it has well-defined verbs and is built on modern cognitive research. Below is a very short primer on the RBT. Webinars, tools and resources for understanding and using the RBT will be made available throughout the winter and spring.
The RBT categorizes both the cognitive process and the knowledge dimension of the standard.
Cognitive Process:
The cognitive process refers to the verb used in the standard. This chart (pdf, 76kb) shows the verbs used in the RBT. The RBT has specific definitions for all the verbs used in the taxonomy. For example:
- Explaining requires constructing a cause-and-effect model of a system (e.g. explain the recent downturn in the global economy)
- Inferring requires drawing a logical conclusion from presented information (e.g. In learning a foreign language, infer grammatical principles from examples)
A common understanding of those verbs will be at the backbone of professional development around the new standards.
Knowledge Dimension:
The knowledge dimension is a way to categorize the type of knowledge to be learned. For instance, in the standard "The student will understand the concept of equality as it applies to solving problems with unknown quantities", the knowledge to be learned is "the concept of equality as it applies to solving problems with unknown quantities."
Knowledge in the RBT falls into four categories:
- Factual Knowledge
- Conceptual Knowledge
- Procedural Knowledge
- Meta-Cognitive Knowledge
RBT Knowledge Chart
More detail on the sub-types of knowledge.
(pdf, 86kb)
Standards can be charted based on the cognitive process and knowledge dimension using a chart (pdf, 83kb). It is also important to note that although RBT standards focus on particular verbs, "most authentic tasks require the coordinated use of several cognitive processes as well as several types of knowledge." (Anderson, Lorin and David Krathwohl, A Taxonomy For Learning, Teaching and Assessing. New York: Longman, 2001. Pg. 89)
Dot Notation for Standards
Home Base, the student information and instructional improvement system, provides resources that are aligned to these standards and provides the ability for teachers to conduct standards-based grading, where appropriate. To support these functions, each standard within the North Carolina Standard Course of Study has been associated with a unique dot notation as outlined at http://center.ncsu.edu/standards/search.php .

The 2011 Philadelphia Eagles have been a failure. There is no denying that. Despite all the problems, there is still something to play for.
Many observers feel that the Eagles should still be playing out the season as long as their is some slim chance at making the playoffs. There are more important reasons to keep playing than another Eagles pipe dream.
Here are five of them.

Al-Awda was established in April 2000 in response to the ongoing peace negotiations between the Israeli government and the Palestinian Authority. The group, founded by a group of attendees of a Trans-Arab Research Institute (TARI) conference in Boston, was initially created to advocate for the "right" of Palestinian refugees to return "to their homes and lands of origin" that existed prior to the founding of Israel.
Al-Awda was first established as an online listserve to facilitate communication between like-minded activists and subsequently grew into an active international organization. Since its founding, Al-Awda's reach around the country has significantly expanded and there are now approximately 15 Al-Awda regional chapters, many of which maintain separate listserves.
Al-Awda supports the establishment of a Palestinian state over all the territory west of the Jordan River, including Israel. On its Web site, Al-Awda explicitly states that all "Palestinian Arab people…are indigenous to Palestine" and "are entitled to live anywhere in Palestine which encompasses present-day 'Israel,' the West Bank and Gaza Strip." Its unwillingness to accept Israel's existence is exemplified by a slogan "Palestine Will Be Free from the River to the Sea," which is frequently chanted at Al-Awda events and is featured on t-shirts sold by the group.
Al-Awda considers its advocacy on behalf of Palestinians as being at the center of a global revolutionary struggle against Zionism, which it views as inherently racist. According to Al-Awda's Points of Unity, "the 'Israeli' definition of Jewish nationals [is] part of the racism and discrimination inherent in Zionist ideology which underlies the policies and laws of the settler state of 'Israel.'"
In its early years, Al-Awda focused its activism on ways to punitively punish Israel through several boycott and divestment campaigns, including Boycott Israeli Goods (BIG); boycott campaigns against Caterpillar, which supplies machinery to the Israeli military used in the Palestinian territories and the Palestine Solidarity Movement (PSM), an umbrella organization of anti-Israel groups that was active in the early 2000s and promoted divestment from Israel. (The PSM's fourth annual conference, held at Duke University in October 2004, was organized in part by Al-Awda Wisconsin representative Fayyad Sbaihat, who was also one of the conference's national contacts.) While these boycott initiatives have not been very successful, Al-Awda has not ceased to consistently support new boycott campaigns and discuss possible BDS (Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions) initiatives at its conventions and events.
When organizing anti-Israel initiatives and events, Al-Awda regularly forms coalitions with other groups and has a particularly strong alliance with the International Action Center (IAC) and the ANSWER Coalition.
Al-Awda is also active outside the U.S., and has chapters in Canada, the United Kingdom and elsewhere, according to its Web site. In addition, Al-Awda is a member of the Global Palestine Right of Return Coalition, which includes right of return organizations based in the Middle East and Europe.
Al-Awda is based in Carlsbad, California, and is a registered 501(c)3 organization. According to its 990 tax filings for 2007, Al-Awda contributes most of its revenue to "emergency relief" to Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank and for events to educate the public about "refugee rights."
