Customer Reviews
Awesome! Worth every penny and more!
It's so nice to see there are still original game concepts. This one is exciting and fun to play and has great graphics. Great job, thanks. Took me a few minutes to figure out exactly what I was supposed to do. When all else failed, "ahem" yes I actually resorted to the directions, and sadly still couldn't understand. So after a few minutes of tried and true, tapping, pushing, pulling and blundering about I finally caught on to throwing the bricks back up to the stack in groups of four or more. TADA! I'm such a genius, I scare myself sometimes. Anyway thanks for the great game. Feel free to add more levels anytime.
Remember the time
It's like Astropop but better on the iPad

6 Questions Faculty Have About Creating Custom Course Materials
There are a variety of reasons to consider creating a custom course pack, including lowering the cost of course materials for students and adopting more curriculum-specific content. And there are many different ways to create this custom content, ranging from completely hands-on (where the instructor chooses each resource individually), to a concierge approach, which engages a team of experts to complete the entire process. So why aren't more instructors choosing this option?

Most Helpful
My family loved it! I did not have white corn on hand, so I used only yellow. I also added a can of diced chicken and it worked perfectly as a whole-meal casserole. Will make again for sure. Thanks Wildflour!
No one in my family liked this. It has a strange oder but it is pretty. It seems too cheesy and the carrots seemed out of place. It would probably be good if you replace the carrots with potatoes. I don't see the point of having white corn you can't really see the different colors of the corn.

This review is from: Logitech QuickCam Pro 9000 2.0 M Effective Pixels USB WebCam for Business WB - Retail
Pros: -Lighting is awesome, I can use it with no lights on(except the monitor of course!) It auto adjusts the light it can accept, epic.
-The voice is clear for the most part.
-The design is perfect for any thin screen monitor(sorry CRT monitors, but why would you still have a CRT?) lol.
-The picture mode is quick and clear.
-It is HD quality, no joke. Skype is too lazy to upgrade their software(j/k) Logitech Vid works fine, only downside is that most people don't use it.
Cons: -The voice is sometime too soft on the other end. It also depends what your/their setup is in the options. (so it may not be a con but more of a user error)
-The price should be lowered on Newegg.. I bought it for the same price in a retail store, unfortunately. Nothing against Newegg... I buy EVERYTHING from Newegg. Cheers!
Other Thoughts: I have tried multiple web cams. This is by far the best "bang for your buck" I hate spending money, so when I do it is for the best thing I can get for what my budget is. I would recommend this to anyone. Even though I didn't buy it on Newegg :(.
The price is standard to retail stores unfortunately. NEWEGG LOWER THE PRICE!!!

Pros: HUGE display. BRIGHT screen colors...etc... Everything? No dead pixels. I do not review much but I thought that this was worth reviewing.
Cons: ahhh my desk is tooooo smalll.... Just kidding, but seriously guys/gals get this monitor dont think twice, no average gamer/person needs anything bigger. and for the price.... you would have to be dumb not to get it.
Other Thoughts: I upgraded from a 17" LCD and this blows the 17" out of the water. I have no complaints i just hope this doesnt die like my video card did, 34 days after i got it :-\READ FULL REVIEW

Campaign briefs
Actress to campaign in Erie for Obama, Wiley
Actress Sheryl Lee Ralph, Tony Award-nominated for her role in the original "Dreamgirls,'' will campaign today in Erie on behalf of President Barack Obama and state Senate candidate Sean Wiley.
Ralph is scheduled to appear at the local Obama/Erie County Democratic Party headquarters, 1305 State St., at 4 p.m.
She will participate in a get out the vote drive and talk about the importance of voting Nov. 6, the Obama campaign said.
She will be joined by her husband, state Sen. Vincent Hughes, of Philadelphia, D-7th Dist.
Wiley, a Democrat, is running against Republican Janet Anderson in the state Senate race in the 49th District, Erie County.
Ralph, Hughes and Joe Sestak, a retired two-star Navy admiral who ran for U.S. Senate in 2010, also will attend a fundraiser Saturday for Wiley at the Erie Land Lighthouse, 2 Lighthouse St., from 4 to 7 p.m.
15 states back Ohio in early voting dispute
COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Fifteen states have announced their support for Ohio's elections chief in a dispute over early voting in the presidential battleground being appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Secretary of State Jon Husted has appealed a lower-court ruling that reinstates early voting on the three days before Election Day and returns discretion to local boards of elections. The Republican also has asked the Supreme Court to delay the lower court's decision while it decides whether to take the case.
Attorneys general for 15 states including Alabama, Colorado, Michigan, South Carolina and Texas asked the Supreme Court on Friday to side with Husted.
DesJarlais endorsement vanishes from Romney site
NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- An endorsement from a Tennessee congressman, who in a recorded phone conversation urged a mistress to get an abortion, has vanished from Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney's website.
Freshman Rep. Scott DesJarlais told a reporter that he did have sex with the woman and talked to her about getting an abortion.
DesJarlais, whose election platform includes an opposition to abortion rights, told the Chattanooga Times Free Press on Friday, "There was no pregnancy and no abortion." He said he talked about an abortion to "get her to tell me the truth" about not being pregnant.
DesJarlais, a physician, said he pushed the issue because the woman wasn't showing signs of being pregnant "approximately four months from the time that I had been with her."
DesJarlais' endorsement of Romney still appears on the congressman's website, but a link to the presidential campaign site returns an "access denied" message.
Congressman regrets grabbing rival
LOS ANGELES -- A California congressman said Friday that he regrets forcefully grabbing another House member during a tense campaign debate but insists he was not threatening his rival with violence.
The confrontation Thursday between Democratic Reps. Brad Sherman and Howard Berman came during the stretch run of a nasty campaign for a Los Angeles-area seat.
"I touched him, I put my arm around his shoulder, I should not have done that," Sherman told the Associated Press in a telephone interview Friday.
The two men later stood nose-to-nose exchanging words before a sheriff's deputy emerged behind them and briefly placed his hand on Sherman's shoulder. Sherman sat down, and the debate resumed.

There were a small percentage of Wiis that got bricked by the first software update. Nintendo replaced those units, though. I've not had any problems with mine at all. It seems pretty stable.
Can't go through life being paranoid about whether or not your system will be a bugged one. All you can do is ask yourself if you want one, can you afford, and will you love it. If all of the answers are yes then go for it. If it happens to be bugged, that's how the dice rolled for you.
But in my own personal experience, I got a Wii that is bug free. And I'm lovin' it.

oh so your the type that doesn't have the patience to learn the controls?Originally Posted by Cap'n Crunch
My Wii is still alive and kickin after putting that game in a few times.
anyways, like said before there arn't many problems with the Wii right now. Most of em have been fixed and/or replaced.
So you shoul be all set!
and to I eat nintendo Wiis: Well, it's not like i can say you won't have that problem, but some of the Wii's did have the problem, but im pretty sure most of em are all fixed now, but not positively sure. I'd just say buy one and dont worry about the bugs, cause everything has bugs in its system.
just go buy one
an a spare nunchuck/wiimote
then hold boxing tournaments
mankind has undestimated the consequences of computerization, it will be his undoing
apple = nintendo wii
apple no bugs/viruses...same with wii...if you love apple computers then u will love the wii!
I saw one post on this board about someone who had a problem. They called Nintendo, was only on the phone for 20 minutes or so, and was shipped a new Wii UPS 2nd Day Air. So if there is a problem, you don't have to go through much to get a new one.

Evan Turner Trash Talked Igoudala Before Last Night's Game
Andre Iguodala went off on his homecoming to Philadelphia ? the former Sixer went off for 11 points and hit 3-of-4 from beyond the arc in the first quarter and just kept on going. He had 16 more in the second quarter and ended up with 32 points and a career best seven threes as the Warriors rolled past the Sixers.
Sixer fans, you can thank Evan Turner for making sure Iguodala got off to the hot start ? he was talking trash before the game. In a friendly way, but still. CSNPhilly.com had the details.
?Evan actually texted me right after they beat the Bulls. He was kind of talking trash,? Iguodala said. ?He said you?re next. He?s the ultimate competitor, no matter who he?s going against. Actually, I wanted to shut him out tonight. I wasn?t even thinking about scoring.?
Turner was 0-of-4 in the first quarter but finished with 18 points on 7-of-12 shooting. I?d say most of that came in garbage time but really the entire second half was garbage time.

I've been struggling for awhile with understanding how we as Christians are or are not bound by the law of Moses and the Ten Commandments. I know that many believe that Jesus fulfilled the law and therefore we are no longer bound by it. I know some of the laws would be very difficult to follow in this day and age, such as not wearing fabric woven of wool and linen, or examining the flesh or the beef we eat, etc...
Chirst said that he did not come to abolish the law, but to fulfill it. The apostles met with the church council in Acts Chapter 15 and determined (by the Holy Spirit) that the only three laws that would still be in power were Sexual fornication, Idolatry and eating blood.
So...should we not be eating rare steak??
What about the Ten Commandments; are the seperate from the Law of Moses?

Body of woman found in park in Philly suburb
EDGMONT -- Authorities said they have found a woman's body in a wooded area at a suburban Philadelphia park, but there's no word on her identity.
Pennsylvania State Police said the body was found Saturday afternoon in Ridley Creek State Park. Investigators haven't released the woman's name.
The discovery was made in an area where police had been searching for a week for 44-year-old Millbourne resident Teresa Cathy Mastracola, who is known to be an avid hiker and bicyclist who often frequents the park. She's been missing since Dec. 2 and was last seen wearing hospital scrubs. Police reportedly said they don't believe foul play is involved.

A very nice hotel with all the usual facilities. At 8.30pm every day the waterfall is switched on and to calssical music the whole side of the hotel becomes a waterfall all lit up quite a spectacle. Would highly recommend staying here

Historical Traveler Reviews Lijiang Waterfall Hotel Guilin
A Lovely Hotel
I had read mixed reviews about this hotel, but since the hotel I initially wanted was full, I decided to stay here. I am not sure why it was panned by some, we both thought it was a very nice hotel, I'd say it's a 4 star on a par with a Marriott. The concierge was very helpful, pleasant, the location was quite good. The room was nicely furnished, bathroom quite pretty. The only downside was that I had booked a non-smoking and was put in a smoking and when I asked to change was told it was sold out so we couldn't switch. Overall, for the money I thought it was well priced and certainly would recommend to anyone to stay there.
A great place to stay!
A great place to stay in! We had a large room with fantastic river and lake view, and with the illuminated pagodas in the background. Its location is excellent - right in the city center, 3 minutes walk from the night market, the main commercial street and the pedestrian street. Breakfast buffet was very rich, with both Western and Chinese buffet.
It should be mentioned that this was the only hotel in our China tour in which all the front desk persons spoke good English!
Worst hotel ever!
This hotel was not even close to 3 star and claims to be 5 star and this is why:
No hot water even after requesting to change rooms because of the problem. No hot water at any time of the day.
The hotel was flooded with tour buses and people on tours who over took the restaurants, lobby and longues.
The food offered in the hotel was not for Western people that are not wanting to try things like snake bile wine, rabbit, frog, snake meat etc.
The breakfast was a disaster as well the food being horrible, cold, stale and untasty.
The hotel lacked the security required for a hotel in Guilin as they have lots of problems with the locals towards the tourist with lots of theaft, crime and scams.
Those are just off the top of my head as to why I would never return to this hotel and do not think this city is very good for Western tourists. The Chinese love it and because it sees so many tourists a year most of the scenary is quickly disappearing and the pollution is a huge problem. This city has very little English as does the hotel.
Lijiang Waterfall
The Lijiang Waterfall hotel is the stand-out hotel in Gulin. It has a fantastic location, is new / modern and the daily Waterfall show is not to be missed.
Does the hotel compare with the luxury 5 star hotels in the major cities - of course not. But it is nontheless comfortable, and is definitely the best place to stay whilst visiting Guilin.
NIce hotel, nice staff, great location
The hotel was great. Staff were very nice, the room extremely pleasant (and far nicer than most other hotels I stayed at in China), and there were plenty of people who spoke enough English for me to get along. The location is terrific, and although I did not reserve a view room, I was on a high enough floor that I got views of the amazing scenery around Guilin (also somewhat slanty views of the pagodas, which were lovely). I had no complaints at all about this hotel and would recommend it.
The "waterfall" was underwhelming, but interesting.
I didn't book tours through the hotel, but rather through a different organization. However, I had the same experience one of the earlier posters had -- the guide kept trying to sell side tours. I went on one which was actually fine (to a "minority village"), and our guide also got us tickets to a show in Yangshuo which was one of the highlights of my trip to China (Liu Sanjie Impressions). No real complaints there, either.
Nice Hotel
Stayed for 1 night in June 2005 before departing on a boat trip down the Li River to YangShuo. Clean/modern hotel. Closest to a 5-star hotel Guilin has to offer but it doesn't compare to 5 stars in Hong Kong, Beijing, and Shanghai. A huge waterfall runs down the back of the hotel every evening for 10 minutes. It's quite an attraction (locals come to watch). The staff was very friendly and there are some good restuarants including a Western-style cafe. Rooms were okay. Damp feeling/smell throughout the hotel was the only drawback. If I returned to Guilin, I would probably stay at this hotel again. Noticed that alot of other Westerners were staying at the Sheraton as well.
Awfull hotel.
This hotel is awfull. The staff does not speakone word of english and do not inform you about anything upon check -in. If you are in Guilin on business, i guess it would be an ok choice. It's a pretty cheap hotel - price wise.
But, do not buy any of the river tours from the hotel. They will send you off with a guide, that will try to sell you aditional tours along the way. My husband and i were even forced to enter a pearl museum, because our guide had to drag her "customers" to at least one additional site, before we were driven back to the hotel. So we ended up wasting at least two hours beacause of this detour.
Room was clean but tasteless. Definately for a business traveller. NOT a design/boutique hotel.
Waterfall hotel a welcome relief!
After an unbelievably long flight from the U.S., 6 days at the functional but spare YMCA in Hong Kong and another long flight from Guangzhao to Guilin - the Lijiang Waterfall hotel was a sight for tired eyes! Our group literally walked through the expansive lobby, discovered our enormous, divan-covered beds and whooped with joy. This was luxury! Our 3 day stay in Guilin was too short - this is one of the most peaceful and romantic cities I visitied in China. Many people in our group went out at night to the markets, which were located only a few minutes from the hotel.
The staff assisted us in making phone calls home to the U.S. and changed money without hassle. The "waterfall" is remarkable to see too - a flood of water cascading over the entire side of the building. I would recommend this lovely, centrally-located hotel for any traveler.
Paradise in heaven
First, I must recomend Guilin and the cruise trip to Yangshuo. But the point of this review in to speak about hotels. The Lijiang (means River Li) Waterfall Hotel was a magnificent surprise: we had seen the looks in the official pictures, but I may say that, for the first time in many, many travels, we didn't got disappointed with the real thing. The service is flawless, the lobby has a remarkable atmosphere, and, being a new hotel, everything is brand new and fully working. The rooms are very spacious, the location is the best you could find in Guilin (in the centre of the town, facing the main square and the lake with the two pagodas) and the price is not so high, regarding what you get by the RMB you pay!

Design a class called BubbleSort that is similar to the class SelectionSort given in Display. The class BubbleSort will be used in the same way as the class SelectionSort , but it will use the bubble sort algorithm. The bubble sort algorithm checks all adjacent pairs of elements in the array from the beginning to the end and interchanges any two elements that are out of order. This process is repeated until the array is sorted. The algorithm is as follows:

Repeat the following until the array a is sorted:

The Data Lake Debate: Conclusion (With Apologies to the Rolling Stones)
In an homage to the Rolling Stones, I blithely suggested that if you try sometimes, you get what you need—be it more funding, access to third-party data, a more effective executive sponsor, or a Hadoop distribution provider. It's not an easy decision, but I'd call the data lake debate a draw. After all, when it comes to the verdict on whether or not a data lake is a worthwhile investment, the success stories will start to emerge. In the meantime, I'm happy to watch those stories unfold. Time, after all, is on my side. Yes it is.[read more]
The Data Lake Debate: The Final Word from Negative
Well, it seems you took the gloves off this time, Tamara. I appreciate the valiant effort and your passionate belief in the Hadoop ecosystem. However, given your revisit to the definition of the data lake and clarifications about Hadoop, I find it important to repeat the resolution we are debating: "a data lake is essential for any organization to take full advantage of its data". We are not debating whether a data ecosystem is essential – just the data lake.[read more]
The Data Lake Debate: Pro Delivers First Rebuttal
In my opening argument, I defined the data lake as a storage repository that holds a vast amount of raw data in its native format, including structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data. I also mentioned that a data lake can take on different shapes and sizes, and provided these examples: A single data lake; or a data lake with multiple data ponds—similar in concept to a data warehouse/data mart model; or multiple, decentralized data lakes; or a virtual data lake to reduce data movement.[read more]

1. No Technician for Roserade, it doesn't even have a move boosted by it.
2. If you want an offensive Milotic, personally, I would go with Hydro Pump over Scald. The burn chance isn't as useful for an offensive Pokemon that needs sheer power.
3. For Houndoom, I've personally always preferred Fire Blast to Overheat, due to the almost as high power/accuracy, but with no nasty stat recoil. But that's up to you.
4. On Umbreon, perhaps consider Toxic or something over Payback?
But everything else looks good to me. Not that CK won't tear it apart, of course....
This is a doubles team I'm working on for next years VGC.
Arcanine: (Normal Gem, Intimidate) (Adamant) (255 Attack, 255 Speed)
-Flare Blitz
Flare Blitz hits things really hard, especially things weak to it. Extremespeed has +2 priority, which is amazing. Roar is to get rid of Trick Room users before they can set up Trick Room.
Starmie: (Focus Sash, Natural Cure) (Timid, 255 Speed, 255 Sp. Attack)
-Hydro Pump
Just a fast Starmie designed to take out foes with Super Effective attacks.
Gallade: (Fight Gem, Steadfast) (Adamant) (255 Attack, 200 HP, 50 Speed [Something like that at least])
-Drain Punch
-Shadow Sneak
-Ally Switch
Ally Switch is to take a hit for an ally in danger, so they can kill off the threat. Shadow Sneak is priority, and Drain Punch is STAB and healing. I'm considering ditching Ally Switch for something else.
Porygon-Z: (Choice Scarf, Adaptability) (Modest) (255 Speed, 255 Sp. Attack)
-Hyper Beam
-Dark Pulse
A super fast Porygon-Z that can kill near anything with Hyper Beam. Granted, it's a sitting duck afterwards, but it pretty much guarantees a kill. Trick is in case I wanna scrap the Scarf, and can hinder some of the opponents Pokemon.
Dusclops: (Evolite, Pressure) (Sassy) (255 HP, 100 Sp. Defense, 150 Defense [Something around that])
-Icy Wind
-Helping Hand
-Night Shade
A bulky Pokemon to assist the rest of my team. Icy Wind is pseudo Tailwind, Helping Hand, Night Shade, and Will o wisp have obvious intentions. I wanna put Protect on there, but....
Hydreigon: (Life Orb, Levitate) (Modest) (255 Speed, 255 Sp. Attack)
-Dragon Pulse
-Earth Power
Pretty self explanatory I think.
I do not hate legendaries, I just prefer not to use them. =/
And what do you mean, all the Pokemon I'm using are good....oh right, you're CK. :l
Porygon-Z has been replaced with Crobat! Dusclops has been replaced with Lickilicky!
Also, Gallade has been given Leaf Blade over Ally Switch.
Lickilicky (Relaxed, 255 Defense, 255 Sp. Defense) (Cloud Nine) (Leftovers)
-Rock Tomb
-Brick Break
A bulky Lickilicky that takes advantage of Cloud Nine to take on weather teams. Brick Break is mainly in case of Screens, but can also do good damage to Tyranitar and the like. Rock Tomb is a weaker Icy Wind, basically. I wish I could give it Icy Wind....oh well. Rock Tomb hits Volcarona, Charizard, etc for large damage at least.
Crobat (Jolly, 255 Speed, 255 Attack) (Inner Focus) (Choice Band)
-Brave Bird
-Steel Wing
-Cross Poison
Pretty much only Brave Bird and U-turn see use, the other moves are just filler. Anyway, Crobat is really fast, slap on a Choice Band and this thing is dangerous. Fake Out leads can't postpone its attacking, courtesy of Inner Focus.

The Flood Force Water Cannon draws water directly from the pool to shoot an endless stream of water. To draw water from the pool, pull the orange bottom cap downward and place the bottom of the Water Cannon underwater. Turn the handle crank to shoot water up to 20 feet. It can also be used as a water blaster out of the pool. Fill the reservoir from the opening on the top, and close the top securely to take the water battle to the backyard.
The Flood Force Water Cannon makes it easy to fill and refill during a water fight in the pool. Kids will like the long distance water shooting and the ability to take the Water Cannon out of the pool and use it like a water blaster in backyard water fights.
The Flood Force Water Cannon is for ages 4 and up.
Do not aim at eyes or faces.
Kids will get the best results when they are in water that's not too deep for them to stand. Trying to stay afloat and crank the blaster can be awkward.

The specter of a nuclear bomb, hidden in a cargo container, detonating in an American port has prompted Congress to require 100 percent screening of U.S.-bound ships at their more than 600 foreign starting points.
Scanning containers at their point of origin in other countries is a highlight of that law, intended to fulfill recommendations of the 9/11 Commission for safeguarding the United States from terrorist attack. It sets a five-year deadline for having the system in place but - recognizing the technology might not be ready - gives the Homeland Security secretary the authority to extend that deadline by two-year increments.
The White House issued a statement strongly opposing the scanning requirement, saying it was "neither executable nor feasible." Opponents warned that it could cause huge backlogs at the nation's seaports, which handle some 95 percent of goods coming into the country.
Finding other options
In Savannah, the Georgia Ports Authority, Shanghai International Port Group and Savi Networks have been working this summer on plans to launch a Radio Frequency Identification-based network that automatically tracks the location and security of containerized cargo transported between the Port of Shanghai in China and Savannah.
The three companies announced their partnership - the Shanghai-Savannah Express Trade Lane Project - in June at the third annual China Trade and Logistics Conference at the Savannah International Trade and Convention Center.
"This is essentially about finding ways technology can fit into a supply chain that will move containers faster as well as more securely," said Page Siplon, executive director of the Maritime Logistics Innovation Center at Georgia Tech's Savannah campus.
"This is a great project for Savannah as some 40 percent of the containerized cargo coming into our port comes from mainland China," Siplon said.
The Shanghai ports group and Savi Networks jointly developed a localized China RFID program that uses an electronic seal and integrates a hand-held Global Positioning System to help make each container as close to 100 percent secure as possible.
The program is designed to optimize the efficiency and security of domestic and global shipments.
'Green-lane' alternative
An end goal of the project is to develop a working model of what U.S. Customs calls a "green lane" - designed for those containers moving on a secure supply chain - could look like. Siplon is a proponent of the green lane concept, which would speed the flow of commerce while also enhancing security.
"There are two debates going on right now," he said. "One says we should inspect 100 percent of the cargo coming in to our ports. The other, which the green lane would address, says we should strive for a situation where almost none of it needs to be inspected.
"If you know where a container is, where it's been, what's in it, who's handled it, if it's been opened or tampered with, then you should have less of a need for an inspection," he said.
"Having a green lane would give certain customers the ability to move their containers as efficiently - and securely - as possible, while freeing customs up to focus more resources on other issues."

Angulo Speaks: Not Happy With Ref, Wants More Kirkland
By Luis Sandoval
In his first interview since his loss to James Kirkland on HBO last Saturday night, Alfredo "Perro" Angulo spoke with Boxingscene's official audio show The Boxing Lab about his thoughts on what transpired.
In a definite Round of the Year candidate, Angulo and Kirkland immediately went to war in the very first round of their bout which saw Kirkland get dropped by an Angulo right hand. Angulo did his best to finish him off, but Kirkland weathered the storm as it appeared Angulo punched himself out.
When asked he felt he over exerted himself in the opening stanza, Angulo instead spoke from the belief that the officiating could've been a little tighter.
"I think it was a great fight," Angulo states, echoing the sentiments of everyone who tuned in to HBO that night. "I dropped him in the first round but I don't think the referee did a good job because when you connect on a fighter with 5-6 punches without a response, you have to give him a count. Or bring it to some attention. The referee never did that and I hit James with 5 to 6 unanswered punches."
When asked for clarification, Angulo reiterated his belief that Kirkland was hurt enough to where the referee should've issued a standing eight count. He felt he possibly was a bit too anxious in the first round to get him out of there but still felt he hurt Kirkland enough to warrant a count.
Angulo was relatively inactive due to his current visa situation coming into this fight, basically fighting just two rounds in about 18 months. He was asked if he felt the inactivity played a part in getting tired in the fight.
"It's a good possibility, so maybe. But I had a great training camp and trained hard. I think we made some mistakes and we need to correct them. We simply need to do a better job next time," said Angulo.
While he's not happy with how the referee handled the situation, he still gave his opponent Kirkland the proper credit.
"He's a great fighter. He has a good punch and I think he did a great job preparing himself. He was the better than me that night. But only because he was better than me that night, doesn't mean he's the better fighter."
Perro said he will rest for the next two weeks before heading right back into the gym to start training again. He'd be willing to return to the ring as early as January or February and welcomes a rematch with Kirkland if it could be made.
"If Kirkland gives us the rematch, I'll accept it with pleasure. I'll take the rematch with James because I think it was an excellent fight that people would love to see again."

Many educational toys and books are available to help children with learning disabilities both enjoy learning and learn better. These learning and educational toys spark a child's interest and focus on specific learning needs. Parents and educators can use these educational toys to help children better overcome their learning obstacles. No matter what learning disability children may have, toys for learning are available to help them.
Books: Children's activity books provide activities for all skill levels from preschool to high school. These books focus mainly on mathematics, reading, and writing. The content is presented in an easy-to-understand format. Educational books provide children with both images and words to stimulate their senses; children with learning disabilities require this combination. Activities are provided to help the child practice skills within the book. Most educational books also provide suggestions for other activities, and some feature sounds for a more interactive experience.
Electronic learning toys: Electronic learning toys feature games based on the model you choose. These games are geared to specific age groups and are based on your child's learning level. Games focus on using images, sounds, and words to make learning more fun. Children enjoy playing the games and will learn both basic and advanced skills through continued play. Educational computer games are also available specifically for certain disabilities, such as dyslexia, dyscalculia, auditory and visual processing disorders, and nonverbal learning disorders.
Board games: Most children's board and card games can be adapted for children with learning disabilities. For instance, the popular children's game Go Fish can be used to teach number recognition and even basic counting. Other games can help teach children letters and spelling or counting with paper money while playing with friends and family. Instead of focusing solely on winning the game, focus on teaching children while they play. Board and card games can help children of all ages with learning disabilities.
Other toys: Dolls can help boost a child's self-esteem, which helps them learn better. Dolls that focus on the child's disability helps the child feel like they're not so different after all. Many dolls are electronic and focus on learning games specific to the learning disability. Wooden toys, especially those with colored, detachable parts, are used to help stimulate a child's senses and teach counting and colors. These toys also help develop logical thinking skills when the child is putting the parts back together.

There are two stories in today's New York Times that merit some consideration. One is an essay about a sperm donor and the other is a pop history quiz (sorry, test-haters, it's multiple choice). ?What the two have in common is 12th-grade.? The essay writer, one Colton Wooten, we are told, ?graduated from Leesville Road High School* this month.?? And the Times test is taken from the infamous National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) history exam that got so much press this past week (see here and here).
Start with the test. As the headline asks, ?Are You as Smart as a 12th Grader??? Well, my guess is that the average adult American is probably as smart as the average 12th-grader, considering that only 12 percent of the NAEP sample of seniors were proficient in the history test.? But the questions are not easy ? everyone remember what the Ordinance of Nullification was? ? and the test, however golden a standard,? is probably a better measure of the nation's curriculum anarchy than of student knowledge.? (See my post on the national obsession with putting the assessment cart before the curriculum horse.)
Mr. Wooten's...
Like many states, Ohio is struggling with how best to evaluate teachers and how to use those evaluations to inform personnel decisions (like remuneration, tenure, professional development, and ? when district budgets or enrollment levels leave no other choice ?layoffs). (Read today's Ohio Education Gadfly for more background on the Buckeye State's current legislative battle over teacher evaluations.)
Last week we released a video, What Ohio can learn from DC's teacher evaluations, featuring interviews with teachers evaluated under the DC IMPACT system. The teachers we interviewed ? which include science teachers, an elementary math coach, a fourth-grade teacher (of all subjects), a special ed middle school teacher, an art teacher, and a master educator (who conducts the observations on behalf of DCPS) ? shared what it's like to be evaluated via five observations each year and have part of their performance linked to student test scores.?
Today we released two more videos, wherein teachers evaluated under DC's IMPACT system address common fears and myths about rigorous evaluations.
Part 1
Part 2
The following blog post was written by Penelope Placide, a ninth grader who works for Fordham one day a week through her school's Corporate Work Study Program. Not only is Penelope a wonderful asset on a daily basis, she possesses invaluable insider knowledge as a current student immersed in the everyday realities of American schooling. With her bubbly personality (which is certainly reflected in this blog post), Penelope consistently shared stories of the many positive experiences she has had with teachers throughout her educational experience. In light of the current teacher-quality debates, Penelope realized her potential, as someone who is best able to speak to what really matters to students. What started out as a casual discussion about the creation of a blog post that would express her point of view quickly evolved into the development of a mini-survey of Penelope's classmates. As she describes in her blog post below, Penelope was not satisfied with simply reiterating her own beliefs about the qualities that a good teacher possesses; she wanted to explore a sample of student perspectives on the topic and share them with the education policy realm. Penelope's hard work and initiative allowed her to produce this compelling blog...
The Ohio Senate just released its version of the state's biennial budget. The Senate deserves much credit for the plethora of charter school provisions it deleted from the Houses' version (which as you probably know by now, Fordham and many others across the state opposed).
But even the removal of provisions that would have dramatically weakened charter quality and accountability can't make up for the fact that the Senate removed all of the excellent teacher personnel language in HB 153.
Fordham's Terry Ryan testified yesterday afternoon to the Ohio Senate Finance Committee to express our collective disappointment and implore lawmakers to prioritize policies to improve teacher effectiveness. ?
He described what's at stake by removing this language:
For as long as anyone can remember, in Ohio as in the rest of America, a public-school teacher's effectiveness and performance in the classroom have had little to no impact on decisions about whether she is retained by her district or laid off, how she is compensated or assigned to a district's schools, or how her professional development is crafted. Instead, all of these critical decisions are made on the basis of quality-blind state...

The Times' Room for Debate blog tackles teacher evaluations today, in particular the news that New York City plans to introduce a dozen new tests in order to gather data for said evaluations. Participants include Linda Darling-Hammond, Kevin Carey, Marcus Winters, and yours truly, among others. Here's my submission; read the whole package here. [quote]
Improving teacher evaluations is one of the most important reforms encouraged by the federal ?Race to the Top? initiative ? and one of the central components to making our schools better. No one can defend today's evaluation systems which, by and large, find every teacher to be above average (if not superior) even as our student achievement results lag our international competitors.
If pay and employment decisions are to be based on teacher performance, at least in part, we need evaluations that can stand up to scrutiny (and to lawsuits). Simply put, we won't make much progress in terminating our least effective teachers (either for cause or because of budget pressures) until we have evaluation systems that are fair, trustworthy and rigorous. And it's only common sense that one element of those evaluations should be an assessment...
In a lengthy essay for the Washington Post New York State Regent Roger Tilles provides more evidence for why the Empire State has slipped so badly educationally in the last couple of decades: the tendency to fiddle while Rome burns.? Tilles was one of three members of the state's Board of Regents to vote no on proposed principal and teacher evaluation regulations. (See here.) Luckily, he was in the minority (14 Regents voted Yes), but his dissent is worth noting as it illustrates some of what perpetuates the institutional aversion to improvement.
?I support a rigorous system of evaluation,? writes Tilles, who has great credentials, including service on two state Boards of Education, teaching at education schools of three universities, and being on the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards. ?It is imperative that we develop a system that is effective and fair and that will lead to better student learning. Unfortunately, the regulations ? which link 20-40 percent of a teacher's evaluation on the results of student standardized test scores ? don't have some of the elements necessary to make them either fair or effective.?
Tilles raises legitimate concerns about the use of these...

Disney buys Lucasfilms, New Stars Wars in the works
Not with a bang, but with a whimper.
I honestly think people won't even care at this point. I certainly don't. You couldn't pay me to see another Star Wars film and I grew up loving the original series.
I'm hyped up...Disney can take it to the next level.
- merchandising
- amusement park rides (Star Tours was one of the first virtual reality tours and consequently one of my favorite rides. In fact I can pretty much see the entire clip in my head right now with that lil robot saying "you're going the wrong way!!!" lolz...)
What I hope to see is Disney releasing the Original Version of Star Wars on DVD. Not this special edition crap that's filled with all these obnoxious changes. It sucks that the only way to enjoy star wars is on the VCR.
I have to let this sink in. On a plus side, we got more Star Wars movies, on a darker side (:p), we get more Star Wars movies. If they do this right and stay true to the Universe, i'll be the happiest guy around though. Lucas always said that he wants the Universe to go on without him at one point. Glad he was still able to choose on who to give it to.
If we can avoid Dart Vader battling Iron Man and there won't be any Storm Troopers of the Carribean stuff, we're going to be alright.

Oklahoma journalist Lance West agrees to be shot in face with pepper spray
- From: News Corp Australia Network
- November 03, 2013
GONZO journalism just reached new heights. Or depths.
A reporter with KFOR-TV in Oklahoma City volunteered to be the test subject for a new police weapon, the JPX Pepper Gun.
Unlike pepper sprays, which can disperse in windy environments, the JPX Pepper Gun shoots straight, delivering a stream of gel that is apparently one thousand times more powerful than Jalapeno peppers.
Read the full story at Fox 4 News
Reporter Lance West donned safety goggles and had medical assistance on hand for the test, which was carried out by Pottawatomie County Sheriff Mike Booth.
In the video, West is seen taking several shots to the face - and clearly suffering as a result.
"That will shut down anybody. That's worse than being tased, maced, it might be worse than being shot," said West, who was blinded and immobilised for almost an hour afterwards.
The Sheriff was pleased with the weapon's efficacy.
"In a courtroom scenario, a crowded room, in a place where you're trying to take the bad guy and not everybody else, this is going to work, we believe, outstanding for that," Sheriff Booth said.
