The retiring lawmaker acted as Mandel's opponent, Sen.

"We got to a question on Asian Carp, and his answer was, 'It is Barack ObamaBarack ObamaTrump's new debate challenge: Silence WATCH LIVE: Obama speaks at African American Museum opening Obama talks racial tension at African-American museum opening MORE's fault that we have the Asian Carp problem,' " LaTourette told the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Mandel challenged Brown in one of the nation's most expensive contests, and lost by 5 percentage points.
The influx of outside money brought condemnation from Democrats, and Brown's campaign often cited a $30 million figure in spending from outside GOP groups to take him down. LaTourette acknowledged that Mandel's loss was "not a question of money," because "Josh Mandel had more money than God," he said.
The Senate candidates in Ohio were largely dependent upon the top of their ticket, and if Mitt Romney had been able to pull out a win there, Mandel might've found himself at orientation sessions last week.
But he also made a number of missteps — earning himself the "Pants on Fire" crown for the number of statements he made that were deemed false by the Cleveland Plain Dealer — that didn't boost his chances.
LaTourette acknowledged that Mandel would've had to outrun Romney in the state, and said that "he had been told to fight everything," which he said was poor guidance from his advisers.
"It's a question of, he needed Mitt Romney to carry Ohio by 8 to beat Sherrod, and whoever was giving him advice really should have been fired because it was bad advice."

So the Spyder is done. It's taken all of its measurements. It's created an ICC profile, and it went ahead saved it for me, it's actually showing me where it saved it. It's saving it in the ColorSync folder which is where ICC profiles go on the Mac. On Windows they have a particular location that they go into, but again the software is going to take care of that for you. Another thing that it did earlier was ask me how often would I like to be reminded about re-profiling, and it suggested an interval of two weeks. You may think, wow, profiling every two weeks. Really your monitor can change that quickly.
If you're going to be critical about color, it's not a bad idea to go through this profiling process very regularly and most profiling software can be set up to give you a reminder that it's time to do it again. So what we've got here is a chance to see kind of a before and after thing. This is what it looks like using the new profile, that's what it looked like before. So it's mighty subtle but what I'm seeing here is an overall change in contrast. This is a little grayer, the blacks are stronger in my profiled view.
And if you've watched the rest of this course you should know by now that I am really excited about that. That's making some very subtle changes in color saturation. So my monitor was doing pretty well before even without the profile. Bear in mind this monitor came out of the box about a week ago, so it's pretty much brand-new, hasn't had a lot of wear and tear, so that's why it's not way off. Still that extra little bit may be critical for getting good color. I've also got an option here to manually tune the profile. I can alter the white point, both, blue and red, purple and green.
I can alter the Gamma and the Brightness, you typically won't do this if you're working with a single monitor. This is about trying to get a bunch of different monitors to match. First, you'd profile them and then you've got these manual controls for going in and trying to skew these different parameters around to get them to match. If you work with more than one monitor that's a reason that the Spyder is a good choice, it gives you that extra capability. So I'm going to keep going through here. It's giving me some other stuff, it's showing me how my monitor compares to some other standards. I can see that I have 100% of the sRGB color space, meaning I can show the whole thing.
I've gotten 95% of Adobe RGB. Ooh! I'm supposed to have 100% of Adobe RGB, and I've got 88% of NTSC, that's a standard definition color space. I don't care about sRGB or NTSC, I want that Adobe RGB color space. Why do I only have 95%? Because the profiling process is not perfect, I could go back right now, put the Spyder back on, do another profile, and I might get a different result. I might get 96%, I might get 93%, I might get 100%.
Very often you're going to need to re-profile a few times, save each profile and then take the one that's the best. I can't give you an explanation for why it's so variable. My personal feeling is that it has to do with ambient light, leaking into the profiler, might also have to do with maybe the monitor has warmed up in someway or another that makes one profile better than another. If you are finding variability between your profiles, don't worry, that's normal. What I've started to do lately is to say I'm going to profile it three times and take the best one.
If they keep getting worse then maybe I'll keep going and hope they get better again. One nice thing about the Spyder is it has some other tools for assessing the quality of the profile. There's a software I can run, that will allow me to put the profiler back on, and it will basically shine tests through its profile to measure the quality of the profile. I can also measure it across the screen so I can see if there is color differential in the corners or from the top to bottom. These are great tools that make the Spyder well worth it for a monitor calibrator because they allow you to assess the quality of your profile.
And if you're finding it's lacking then you know that maybe it's time to go in and profile again. So now that I've got my profile done and installed you may think, well, great. Now I can open up images and they're going to look just like they do on paper, and that's not actually true. Having a profile installed doesn't mean that the color that's being displayed on your computer monitor is already adjusted for a particular piece of paper. That is a complex process all on itself called soft proofing, wherein I tell Photoshop what kind of paper I'm using it uses that paper profile in conjunction with my monitor profile to generate a more accurate view on screen.
We can't do that yet though because we need to think about paper profiles, and that's what we're going to discuss in the next movie.
After a discussion of how to choose a printer, the course covers the process of preparing both black and white and color images using Adobe Photoshop. Ben describes how to take images from looking good onscreen to being properly adjusted for best results on paper, covering details such as sizing, sharpening, and color management.
With photographer and master framer Konrad Eek, Ben explores the creative decisions that photographers should address before printing. What size print? How does print size relate to the message of the photo and to the space where the photo will be displayed? What kinds of paper choices do you have, and how does your photo's content relate to the paper you choose?
The course also describes how to properly evaluate a print and how to handle common challenges that crop up during the printing process.

Pardon My Hard-on
Illustration by Kathryn HyattIn a 2001 poll, The Orange County Register asked its readers to identify the most mysterious local celebrity. They named reclusive Newport Beach billionaire Donald Bren, pal of President George W. Bush and owner of the Irvine Co.—the county's largest private landowner and its most insatiable real estate developer.
Most newspapers would take the answer as a hint that they'd failed to keep the public adequately informed about Orange County's most powerful man. But if you read the Register, you know they have trouble taking hints. They've never written a tell-all profile of the oddly secretive businessman whose notorious behind-the-scenes plotting does more to shape the daily lives of local residents than any White House or UN.
The closest Reg readers have gotten to Bren remains a January 2002 feature about a Bren employee. Editorial decision-making at the Register has always been suspect and no less when they decided only to introduce us intimately to Mike McKee, the latest smiley face in Bren's cutthroat corporate-political empire. Thanks to the paper's sleuths, we are now aware of McKee's background, family life, business acumen, mannerisms, interests and personal feelings. Aren't you impressed that Bren's gofer "has an unusual ability to relate to people across a wide range of interests, from a colleague to a clerk in a copy room"?
It wouldn't be fair to single-out the Register for soft treatment of Bren. No newspaper has done more to advocate for the Republican businessman's private interests than the Orange County edition of the Los Angeles Times, a place where Irvine Co. press releases are immediately and unquestioningly converted into alleged news stories. In May, for instance, the Times apparently didn't even bother to conduct all of its own interviews about a proposed controversial, massive Irvine Co. housing development in eastern Orange County. A local politician's favorable quote about the project was shamelessly lifted—without disclosure—from the company's press packet.

It's not very pretty, but there is a simple explanation behind this journalistic cowardice. Through his team of public relations executives, the Irvine Co. chairman has always made it clear that he'd be displeased if newspapers explored the reality behind his carefully manufactured image as a conservative businessman, lavish philanthropist and upstanding family man. If you doubt that Bren isn't a sore loser when he doesn't get his way, just consider former Bren consigliere Gary Hunt—booted after the company failed to stop a 2000 slow-growth initiative in Newport Beach. If he wants, Bren also has—according to the latest Forbes list of richest Americans—$4 billion to help channel his wrath; the Orange County Business Journal says it's closer to $6 billion.
At the Weekly, we've never worried about Bren or the threat of his wrath. In fact, in our eight years, we've routinely exposed Irvine Co. shenanigans—from handing county taxpayers liability for the quake-centered cliffs around some of his exclusive housing developments and then calling it an "open space gift," to taking a publicly built Newport Coast Drive and giving part of it to the developer-friendly Transportation Corridor Agencies for their toll road. We've even named him—and one of his sons—to our annual Scariest People in OC list.
It was amusing, then, when about four years ago the Irvine Co. ignored our critical news reports and began buying ads to reach our 212,000 weekly readers who often are—according to audited surveys—young, college-educated, high-income and ready to buy or rent homes.
In early June, however, the tenuous relationship collapsed when seething Irvine Co. executives yanked their advertising—estimated at more than $120,000 annually—from the Weekly. Our crime? We'd forgotten to adhere to Bren's prime directive: thou shalt not publicly discuss the actions of my wandering penis.
The fuss centers on recent courthouse disclosures that in a little more than the past decade, the family-values touting Bren has fathered three children out of wedlock and, worse, allegedly failed to visit or adequately support the kids. In a May 30 cover story, "Don Juan Bren: The Secret Life of Orange County's Most Notorious Billionaire Lover," Weekly reporter Steve Lowery observed the inescapable but until then unwritten irony: the man who bankrolls Bible-thumping California politicians as well as President Bush—whose 2000 campaign theme was "leave no child behind"—had callously left behind his own illegitimate offspring, according to court records.
What we've witnessed is a counterfeit image crashing head-on into immovable facts. I called Larry Thomas, Bren's normally chatty press spokesman, to offer him the chance to explain Bren's reaction to the words of one reporter at the county's third-largest paper. But the man who helps sell the Irvine Co. as a corporation "driven by conscience" didn't call back.

Djokovic beats Ferrer to win Abu Dhabi final
ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates -- Novak Djokovic maintained his unbeaten record in Abu Dhabi by beating David Ferrer 7-5, 6-2 Saturday to win his third straight World Tennis Championship title.
Djokovic, who finished the year with a 24-match winning streak on the ATP tour, needed just 82 minutes to dispatch the third-ranked Ferrer in the final of the exhibition.
Earlier, the top-ranked Nadal won a third-place playoff match against Jo-Wilfried Tsonga 7-6 (5), 6-3.
- At Hua Hin, Thailand, Victoria Azarenka beat top-ranked Serena Williams 7-5, 6-3 in an exhibition match between the world's top two women's players at the Hua Hin World Tennis Invitation.
- Roger Federer arrived in Australia for the Brisbane International injury-free and with a refreshed attitude for 2014.
Federer, who will use the Brisbane event as his only warm-up tournament ahead of the Australian Open, says, "It's the first time in a year that I could practice three, four weeks in a row without any setbacks ... I was able to do more than I thought which is very encouraging."
The Australian Open, which Federer has won four times, begins Jan. 13 in Melbourne.
The Brisbane tournament, also a WTA event which includes Serena Williams and Maria Sharapova, begins today.
The Hopman Cup, part of the Australian Open Series, began late Saturday with matches including Canada's Eugenie Bouchard against Sam Stosur of Australia in the mixed teams event.

At 1:00 pm there were no long lines leading to the luggage drop-off tent as other reviews have indicated. We took a limo service so we did not have to contend with parking. Proceeded to the end of the line entering the terminal for the embarkation process. First was security screening, then to the next line (organized by your stateroom floor) where you presented your online registration form and credit card payment information. Proceeded with your SeaPass Card to the picture taking line and finally to the buses which shuttles you to the ship. The entire process took 1 hour from luggage drop-off to ship's entry.
Checked out our room and was quite pleased at its cleanliness and dEcor. Plenty of closet and drawer space and plenty of room under the bed for our luggage. Proceeded to the Windjammer for a buffet lunch. It was a little difficult finding a table but this was to be expected. After lunch checked our room to find our luggage had arrived. Our stateroom attendant, Garnet, dropped by to introduce himself and to find out if we had any personal needs. Over the next nine days we became very attached to Garnet. Friendly, personable, efficient, warm, wonderful are just a few words to describe this extraordinary individual. Our room was always spotless, always stocked with ice and our favorite drinks and the towel animals which greeted us each evening were just precious.
We ate most of our meals at the Windjammer as we like to dress very casual. Again, the waiters and assistants were always friendly and very helpful. Being somewhat of a gourmet cook, I considered the quality of the food to be excellent with plenty of variety every day to please everyone. Another nicety was the Cafe Promenade. Good coffee, tea, sandwiches, pizza, pastry, cookies and fruit were available 24 hrs a day (at no extra cost). Our request for a small table in the main dining room was honored even though we only dined there a few times. We preferred the flexibility of the Windjammer rather than a fixed seating time.
Since we are still enjoying the cruising experience more than the shore excursions, we only go ashore for shopping and a little sight seeing rather than sunbathing or activities requiring a lot of physical exertion.
Disembarking was a breeze even though it got a little hectic because there were many early arrivers for the next cruise.
In conclusion, we had a fabulous time on the Explorer. The ship was beautiful and not run down as some reviews have indicated. It was well maintained and spotless and the staff was A-1, first class. Additionally, the friendliness and conduct of the other passengers was amazing. The younger passengers were also well behaved and friendly. It was so nice hearing people say please and thank you, excuse me, hello, good morning, etc. This was not the case on our other two cruises. We were so impressed with RCI and the Explorer of the Seas that we have booked a 12-night Southern Caribbean cruise for Nov/Dec this year.

When Mother Nature dishes out her worst, the Texas Baptist Men are at their best.
Trained volunteers from Amarillo and across Texas respond to disasters around the world, helping people clean up and restore their lives.
This past week a group of 10 men, mostly from Paramount Baptist Church, wielded chain saws and other tools as they helped residents of Oklahoma City, Okla., recover from recent ice storms that knocked out power for thousands of people.
"I feel like I'm called from the Lord to do this. Every time the phone rings I feel like it's the Lord telling me to go," said Billy Gilmore, who led the group from Amarillo.
This is the second time this year the local team has dispatched to Oklahoma City after an ice storm, the last being in January. It's the 20th time the team has been called out this year and the 60th since the team formed in 2003.
The team went out of the country twice in 2007, once to Nicaragua to help clean up after a hurricane, and once to Greece to help after wildfires.
"We've been busier this year than other years," said Joe Henard, who is the area director for the Panhandle and West Texas.
Henard said the 10-member team that spent the last week in Oklahoma City included volunteers from Canyon, Pampa and Albuquerque, N.M., in addition to those from Paramount Baptist.
"We just got back from California, cutting trees from all the fires out there," Henard said.
Gary Smith, the state volunteer coordinator for disaster relief, said the Amarillo team was one of four sent to Oklahoma. Other teams came from East Texas, North Dallas and San Antonio.
"They're experienced," Smith said. "Most of them were out there in January of this year when they had that big ice storm."
He said Texas Baptist Men formed in 1967 following a hurricane when a group of men and boys volunteered to help with the recovery effort.
"Today we have about 7,000 trained volunteers throughout Texas," Smith said.
He said Texas Baptist Men provide a variety of services. They help clean up after disasters, clear mud and debris, remove downed limbs and such. They also provide temporary, licensed child care, portable shower and laundry facilities, security, communications and food services.
"We can serve 40,000 meals a day in one unit," Smith said.
Most of the volunteers are retirees.
"I enjoy helping other people," said Troy Harris, a member of the Amarillo team who is a retired agriculture teacher.
Henard, who is a retiree from Pantex, said he sees this as his calling. He said the Bible directs Christians to do good works, but to also speak to people about Jesus.
"We consider ourselves missionaries," he said. "We'll take time out to talk to people about Jesus as the opportunity is available. We'll help anybody of any religion, any person. We do not limit it to Baptists. This is our way of going and serving Jesus."
Gilmore, who is retired after 32 years with the railroad, said going out to serve is a blessing.
"It's not the blessing I give, it's the blessing I receive," he said.
The Amarillo team has three trailers it keeps at Paramount Baptist Church.
The largest of the three is for mud-out duty. The next one is for chain saws and like equipment. The third is for hauling other gear.
Henard said the team goes out to serve and does the best it can to not be a burden to the hosts. He said they bring their own bedding and usually sleep in churches and homes of church members.
"It's a calling for me to serve," he said.

According to the Apostle Paul, if we want to strengthen our faith, increase our hope, and deepen our love for Christ we, first, have to change our minds! Hear some life transforming principles from the book of Romans on Truth For Life Weekend with Alistair Begg! More
- Topics:
- Holy Spirit
- Indwelling Sin
- Theology
Life In The Spirit"What now?" That's a fair question not only for those who are beginning their walk with Christ, but for Christians at any point along the way. As we struggle with sin, endure persecution, and confront suffering, we may wonder how all of these things fit into God's plan of salvation. We may even wonder how - or if - God is still at work. In this series of sermons from Romans 8 by Alistair Begg, we are reminded that God's Spirit empowers the Christian life from beginning to end as the persevering love of God holds those who belong to him in Christ. The Spirit enables the child of God to live a new life in submission to God's law and to mortify the fleshly desires of the old life. He also sustains the believer in suffering and intercedes for us in weakness. This great chapter grounds believers in the gospel reality that God is for us in every aspect of the Christian life, ensuring that, in the words of Augustus Toplady, "the work which his goodness began, the arm of his strength will complete."

Skip to comments.Do old fashioned arithmetic algorithms really need to be taught any more?
Posted on 12/18/2011 10:06:54 AM PST by no gnu taxes
I'm talking about the old multiplication and long division calculation methods. I know what you are probably thinking. That I am some public school advocate, even though I was pissed as hell when my kindergarten daughter asked me if I knew the happy kwanzaa song.
But are these really useful anymore? I mean you can buy a calculator for $1 that does all these things and the software developers didn't use those methods for creation of the devices. Did you even understand why these algorithms worked at the time you were taught them?
Not trying to be controversial; just want to know what you think.
We have the internet for looking up history. So let's not waste our time teaching our kids.
Oh and spell check is readily available. Screw spelling class.
I remember when we got our first calculator in 1974, I thought, "hey man, this would be good for math class!" I was in second grade at the time. My maternal grandmother said, "if you use that all the time, your brain will rot." I am still in contact with one of my former high school teachers and he says that calculators are OK, but you should know the theory to do it by brain and hand first. I think those are good things to think about and remember. The calculator is there to save time but I think one needs to know the math theory first.
I believe it still needs to be taught — teaching kids arithmetic instructs them in basic logic and casuality, which is needed throughout life ... my $0.02
No - darkness must prevail!
Who needs knowledge when calculators can think for us instead.
Math is for advanced, scientifically savvy societies. Not ours.
Math teaches a human how to think logically and to use a toolbox of methods to find an answer to a problem. Our society is going downhill because we've given up those skills and we'd rather hire foreigners and have them find answers for us.
Teach a child how to enter numbers into a calculator and you have a person who can do menial tasks. Teach a child how to work out a math problem and you have a thinker and problem solver.
I'm sure Roman parents thought the same thing: "My child is made to rule, not to do math problems. We can hire a barbarian for that!"
They still need to be taught. Two reasons:
One of the things you figure out as you get older is that a good portion of what you're taught in school is not for the purposes of making you more knowledgeable, but actually to "help you think".
Second, if you need to solve something and don't happen to have a calculator handy, what are you going to do?
Someone, somewhere has to know those methods in order to create the calculators for lazy people to use. If you stop teaching them they fall out of common knowledge and eventually are lost. We're not teaching the slide rule anymore, but that's because it's no longer needed.
Your daughter is not there to become a self-sufficient, critical thinker. She's there to drink the Flavor-Aid of collectivism and feel good doing it.
I would ban computers and calculators from school....the point of education is to train the mind on what to do with facts, and not just teach people how to use a calculator.
>>Math is for advanced, scientifically savvy societies. Not ours.
Ding Ding. We have a winner!! Well said!
A firm understanding of mathematics is fundamental to scientific and technical excellence.
If all you want to do is prepare people to flip burgers, then you are correct.
If you want to prepare them to be engineers or financially literate human beings.
Eh, I don't think they need to be banned. I think their use should be strictly limited.
While you *can* figure out most derivations by hand, it takes forever. Once you've gotten the concept and methodology down, it is instructive to be able to quickly show the result of a derivation and how alterations affect them.
As for computers - if it weren't for the relatively high tech nature of my highschool I wouldn't have entered my career path (software development). Same goes for accountants, office workers, administration, IT, networking, etc etc etc.
Yes. The process teaches you how to think logically and about how numbers work. Calculators short-circuit the process, providing answers without understanding.
So if we are hit by an EMP all of a sudden we have huge numbers of people who can't mange math?I think it is very important for kids to learn math and learn it the same way we did.I don't see it as a waste of time and think in a way it teaches how to reason things out.
I don't think they need to be; that way, when I explain something using mathematics, the fools won't know that I'm lying through my teeth.
Yes they are useful and should be taught .
Anyone can learn to push a button but by learning math , real advanced math you are teaching them how to think (reasoning and logic)
I hear people comment all the time that they wasted time studying math that they will never use ... these same people are the ones who have problems solving common problems that if they had learned the reasoning skills and truly grasped them they could then take those concepts and easily solve their problems.
Kids today do not know how to THINK and that is why they are easily led .
Your other question: "Did you even understand why these algorithms worked at the time you were taught them?"
Some, sure. More often than not, no. Even now I don't understand why some of what I learned in calculus actually makes sense - but I didn't continue into an engineering degree path where those things are broken down into a greater understanding.
Regardless, the point isn't for you to be able to divide giant numbers.
"Did you even understand why these algorithms worked at the time you were taught them?"
If one is never taught them then one never has the opportunity to understand them...
As a mathematician and engineer, I must say that it is hugely important to teach this to children.
I can't respond to to everyone here, so I will will respond to your's.
Does rote following of an algorithm give you a firm understanding of mathematics?
Exactly at what point in in you education did you understand why these algorithms worked or even what an algorithm was?
Yes, for at least two reasons (I teach among others an undergrad physics class for non-majors).
One is that you should never accept blindly what a device tells you. Students have a great tendency to do just that. Did they enter the numbers correctly?
Does the answer make sense I had one student on a homework-where they can use calculators-tell me that due to slippage along the San Andreas fault the cities of Los Angeles and San Francisco would be joined in exactly 635.22723 years! I would rather on an exam that the student show me the ratio of numbers to be divided, for example, even if he can't do the hand division or does it incorrectly. I don't take points off if done incorrectly...I just hope he never has his battery run out at an important time.
A more important reason is that electronic cheating by students has gotten very sophisticated and entirely out of hand. Among other aspects, this is a bias against other students who don't have the monetary resources to invest hundreds of dollars on some of the devices that are now available on the internet. Some of these devices are very concealable and look just like a common calculator.
So im my exams the rule is NO ELECTRONIC DEVICES.
Ok, I will amend my statement, and ban computers until High School.
The Trachtenberg System of speed math!
From Wikipedia: The Trachtenberg System is a system of rapid mental calculation. The system consists of a number of readily memorized operations that allow one to perform arithmetic computations very quickly. It was developed by the Russian Jewish engineer Jakow Trachtenberg in order to keep his mind occupied while being held in a Nazi concentration camp.
If you don't understand how the math works you can't put the numbers into a calculator correctly. And you're gonna feel kind of silly needing a calculator to halve a recipe.
I'm a mechanical engineer by training, I do math in my head as much as by calculator. You need to know whether the numbers you generate have any semblance to reality.
Of course.
You can't take an abacus with you everywhere.
Saw six boys at our local library doing homework on the computers. Like hell they were....they were playing games.
Math via computers at grade school level take away clerical errors.
Or to put it more bluntly, the purpose of education is to develop a good "BS Detector."
Exactly. The underlying reason for HOW and WHY these techniques work is what's important. I will never forget ( or forgive ) a teacher I once had who told us when explaining recursive algorithms that they were very important, and to MEMORIZE them, because we would use them, but don't bother trying to understand how or why they work!
Math? Probably not.
But it might come to this:
It has helped in so many areas. Please encourage (push) your daughter to start math lessons while young.
Many of these same sites are great for home schoolers as well.
Hey, I barely made it past arithmetic and geometry, but I am still way ahead of my peers in my mid-50's.
In all fields of knowledge (in math this is very important) complex knowledge is built upon simpler knowledge. Also, the building does not have to be strictly hierarchical - often concepts are borrowed back and forth in different areas.
For example, if writing computer programs, having a good feel for how much work is involved in doing certain types of math problems is key to writing computationally efficient programs.
The good mathmetician draws upon all their learning - including the fundamentals - throughout their career.
Also, oftentimes ideas from disparate fields of study can be related or of use together; ideas can be "borrowed" from what would seem like a completely unrelated field.
Education therefore should be "broad" as well as deep. This goes into the making of the so-called "renaissance man".
Many people doing very advanced work make gross errors in their thinking that reflects the fact that they do not have the fundamentals of the relevant fields drummed into their head.
It is important for people in all walks of life to have an excellent command of the fundamentals of a broad education; they should not be neglected by skimming over them then using a "black box" to provide a glossed over "solver" too soon in one's education. Only after the student has exhibited a very solid knowledge of the fundamentals should machinery be introduced.
Most general students have no need of computers for k-12 education other than as a typewriter. Other than that, they are simply a plaything.
The only students who really need a computer are those in programming classes.
Using a computer actually misallocates curriculum time away from reading classics, etc. and uses it instead for silliness. How else is that that educations 100 years ago were generally far superior to those today for those who go through the whole system and graduate college.
I whipped out my calculator, pushed a few buttons, and left the $15 on the counter.
Who needs math?
The girl at my register had a calculator, and to cut to the chase, I pointed out that the meals tax (at the time) was 5%, so all she had to do was multiply by 1.05 for the more complex orders that she couldn't remember off the top of her head.
The Feeling of Power, by Isaac Asimov
True. That's where my pocket size slide rule comes in handy.
There was a wonderful Sci-Fi short story called, IIRC, "The A & O Book". This was a supposed reference to the British bi-level secondary school systems, Ordinary and Advanced. The story was written back at the beginning of the Digital Age.
In the story, set sometime in the future, the young hero is accused of cheating on his A&O exams. The test administrator was described in much the same way as a stereotypical Hollywood nerd is portrayed; overweight, myopic, fingertips turning spatulate due to a lifetime spent at the keyboard.
The evidence for our hero's cheating was that he had used zero computer time and had a zero percentage error rate. It is revealed that the "A&O" meant Apples & Oranges. The math problems dealt with division and percentages and were meant to be solved with the test computer's calculator. Our young hero had been taught fractions by his reactionary grandfather and needed no computer time to calculate. Also, because he dealt with fraction through all of the intermediate steps of calculation, he had no rounding errors (i.e 1/3 -0.33333333...)
Ergo, he MUST have cheated and used a stolen copy of the answer book.
I think this was written back in the 1950's or 60's. Now, 50 + years later, you are asking this question, "Do old fashioned arithmetic algorithms really need to be taught any more?"
Why not? We shut down Civil Defense. May as well cut off chances of morons recovering after nuclear exchanges or large solar flares against a weak magnetic field, too (poles deviating unusually far).
Give an example of "rote algorithm."
"Were not teaching the slide rule anymore, but thats because its no longer needed."
I still have one in my truck that I have used for over 50 years, still works and doesn't require a battery!
The devices are a series of electronic switches. The developers had to talk to them in a language the microprocessors understand -- binary. But the algorithms they used for those devices are the same kids are taught.
Did you even understand why these algorithms worked at the time you were taught them?
Why they "worked?" They worked because they couldn't do otherwise! And you don't need to understand WHY they work anymore than you need to understand Bernoulli's Principle to take an airplane flight. If, however, you don't know that they exist and the batteries run down on your calculator, you are helpless.
Schoolwork builds brain power just like weights build muscles.
It's no accident that elite schools still teach Greek and trig. It's not the facts, it's the effort.
No. And to prove my point, I want you to mail me $2 per day for the next five years in payment for my reply. This is a very reasonable sum, don't you think? Just $2.
You do realize that all thinking involves algorithms, right?
I guess you're basically saying that thinking is obsolete, other than thinking about things like the Kardashians.
IMO, children should always learn the basics first. No calculators until they can do simple math in their heads.
Everyone should be aware that a missed key-stroke on a calculator can be expected at any time.
Critical thinking skills require independent analysis of data, and that means in math as well as any science.
Absolutely correct. I was with a field chemistry class and the students were measuring water quality parameters. They had a pretty good idea about the kind of values to expect, but when they reported one value off by several magnitudes nobody even flinched. So I asked, "What is a reasonable value for this measurement?", they all pretty much knew and when they thought about it the light went on. Now we've got a bunch of speculation: plant toxins, pollutants, dead animal upstream, etc. Nobody ever hit on the most obvious (and correct) answer - the meter is broken.
And you are right on about the economic bias...
Oh wow, I remember that story from high school.
You'll take my slide rule and abacus from my cold dead hands! Seriously the method needs understood first before the simplifying tools are provided. I can't tell you how many times ive had to backtrack to find input/calculation errors in formulas that the calculator or computer were happy to spit out. It is similar to spellcheck skipping words that are improper grammatically but spelled correctly. Kids need to understand the ideas and processes first.

Adrienne Salinas' Entire Body Wasn't Found
Adrienne Salinas.
After the Tempe Police Department released the autopsy report on Tempe teenager Adrienne Salinas, local media accounts concluded that the report didn't say much.
However, the autopsy report indicates that Salinas' entire body was not recovered from the Apache Junction wash where it was found in August, nearly two months after she was last seen.

-Salinas Case Not Obvious Homicide, But Location of Body a "Big Concern," Cops Say
"These nearly complete (please see Skeletal Chart) skeletal remains [redacted]," the autopsy report states, with more than one full line blacked out. "Much desiccated skin and ligamentous tissue are present, as is a small patch of presumed hear hair adhering to what appears to be desiccated skin of the neck."

Several other lines of the autopsy report are also blacked out. There's no mention of Salinas' head or hands throughout the report.
Tempe Police Officer Greg Duarte tells New Times the skeletal chart is not for release, due to the ongoing investigation. He says he can't comment on the apparently missing body parts.
Salinas, a student at Gateway Community College, was headed to her boyfriend's house on June 15, when she was last seen by friends. Salinas and he boyfriend had been arguing earlier that night after they were together at a party, and it appears that Salinas never made it to her boyfriend's house.
Police have said that the two people she was supposed to see that morning -- the boyfriend and a cab driver she called -- aren't suspects. Salinas apparently started driving to her boyfriend's house but hit a median and blew out her tires, a witness told police. She called the cab at that point, but the driver never found her, and her cellphone was shut off.
Her cause of death was not determined.
The autopsy report notes that, in addition to DNA, Salinas was identified through a comparison of hospital records, specifically through images of her thorax (between her neck and abdomen). Salinas had some sort of surgery on or around her ribs in January, and defects on two of her ribs were noted in the autopsy report.
Additionally, a source suggested one of the redacted parts of the report could have been skull measurements. That source also says the autopsy suggests she was buried nude in that wash. A space in the autopsy for "clothing and personal effects" is left blank.
Still, police have been careful not to call this a definite homicide investigation, but rather a "death investigation."

Drugs. Not necessarly a brick. A bird can range from a brick all the way to a gram. A bird flying in the street means that it was broken down and selling in smaller amounts, making the dealer a lot of money.
bricks goin in...birds goin out.

Tristram Hunt: Labour is 'in the s***'
Former Labour shadow education secretary Tristram Hunt has reportedly told students at Cambridge University the party is "in the s***".Read the full story ›
Big name Labour MPs 'escape before Corbyn speech'
Chuka Umunna is among the big name Labour MPs who have left Brighton before Jeremy Corbyn makes his first conference speech as party leader.
ITV News' Chris Ship said Tristram Hunt and Mary Creagh were also among the prominent backbenchers who departed early.
A non-Corbyn supporting Labour MP (of which there r many) tells me Chuka's already gone. Out of town before the Leader even hits the stage
Somewhere between Brighton & London Victoria stations is a train carriage with @chukaumunna @tristramhuntmp & @marycreaghmp escaping #Lab15
'Most' Labour MPs have made up their minds on leader
Most Labour MPs already know who they want as leader, according to Tristram Hunt, who has just announced he would not be standing.
In a speech setting out his vision for the party, he admitted he hadn't been able to drum up enough support for his own bid
"Like other potential candidates in recent days I have made a lot of calls to potential supporters among my parliamentary colleagues. I found that the bulk of MPs are already committed to just a couple of candidates," he said.
"It is surprising that the nomination process to select a leader for at least the next five years appears to have been largely decided within at most five days of a devastating general election defeat."
The MPs currently still in the race to become leader are Liz Kendall, Yvette Cooper, Andy Burnham, and Mary Creagh.
Tristram Hunt will not stand for Labour leadership
Tristram Hunt has announced that he will not stand in the forthcoming Labour leadership election.
In a speech, the MP for Stoke said he would be backing Liz Kendall for the leader's role instead.
He also strongly criticised the party's strategy at the general election, claiming Labour's welfare policies "offended the British people's sense of fairness".
Tristram Hunt to appear on The Agenda
Labour's Tristram Hunt will appear on the final episode of this series of The Agenda tonight.
Mr Hunt will speak to Tom Bradby about how Labour can recover following last week's general election defeat.
The shadow education secretary may also discuss his own leadership ambitions as speculation over Ed Miliband's potential successor continues.
Viewers can follow @agendaitv and #theagenda for all the key quotes and moments from tonight's programme.
Hunt: Charities and private childcare providers would use Sure Start centres
Shadow education secretary Tristram Hunt has admitted that a Labour government would rely on charitable and private childcare providers to put "mothballed" Sure Start centres back into use.
Speaking on BBC1's Andrew Marr Show, Mr Hunt said councils would be obliged by law to invite such providers to make use of Sure Start centres:
Hunt's former headmaster calls school plans 'offensive'
The headmaster of the shadow education secretary's former school has said Labour's plans to strip private schools of tax breaks worth hundreds of millions of pounds unless they do more to help the state sector could be deemed "offensive bigotry".
In a speech yesterday, Tristram Hunt told private schools to start doing more to help state pupils or risk losing £700 million-worth of tax breaks.
But Mark Beard, head of the independent University College School (UCS) in Hampstead, north-west London, said the shadow cabinet minister should be considering "new, helpful initiatives" to raise standards in state schools..
"Rather than rely on independent schools to solve the issues for the 93% of children who are educated in the state sector, isn't it time for Labour to come up with some new, helpful initiatives rather than espousing what some might deem an offensive bigotry?"

Tristram Hunt: 'Help state pupils or lose tax breaks'
Private schools have been warned to either start doing more to help state pupils or risk losing £700m worth of tax breaks in future.Read the full story ›
Labour: Structured learning 'doesn't seem like bad idea'
Shadow education secretary Tristram Hunt has told ITV News more "structured" play and learning in nursery schools "doesn't seem like a bad idea".
"I think we have to address this issue of disadvantaged children who aren't school ready by the time they turn up in reception year," Mr Hunt said.
Labour: Raising quality of teaching must be priority
Schools standards will only improve once the quality of teaching in classrooms is raised, shadow education secretary Tristram Hunt has said.
Michael Gove earlier put forward proposals to shake-up the education system which he hopes will end the "Berlin Wall" divide between state and private school sectors.
"Improving school standards starts with a qualified teacher in every classroom. Until Michael Gove commits to this, he is ruling himself out of any serious debate about how we raise standards in our schools," Mr Hunt, said.
"Whether on discipline, delivering extra-curricular activities or on improving learning outcomes, it all hinges on the quality of the teacher in the classroom.
"Raising the quality of teaching - that is where the focus needs to be and that is what Labour is concerned with. The Tories have lost sight of this and are undermining school standards as a result."

Barnet skips its Pesach tradition
Barnet Council is scrapping its Pesach skips for Jewish residents and will instead provide special refuse collection services.
The special collections will be in designated streets in Golders Green, Hendon and Edgware over the period of April 6-8.
Residents in other streets can arrange for additional collections between March 30 and April 7. The service is free.
A council spokesperson explained the system had been changed "to ensure it's dedicated to the collection of genuine Passover refuse. Our scheme will prevent people filling skips with all sorts of items. Further information will be passed to synagogues and people should check with us to find out which roads we will be servicing."
A Hendon Synagogue representative had no problem with the change: "As long as the rubbish is collected then it serves exactly the same function as before."
Residents can call 020 8359 5005 to check if their road will be among those receiving the special collections. Those in non-designated roads can contact the same number from March 30 to arrange a Pesach collection.

Excellent doctor. After trying to find a good PCP in the area, I am pleased to know that I have a knowledgeable and thorough doctor. Office staff has been polite and helpful. Dr. Sims always takes his time with me.
Dr. Sims is a very gentle and patient doctor who takes time to both tell and listen to his patients. Ours was the first visit today and we were really happy to have him as our family doctor.His staff is very courteous and helpful. Special mention of Sonika (I hope I got her spelling right) who was polite and helpful in getting our details and administering our flu-shots.All in all a gem of a doctor and staff. Very highly recommend. Make sure to make an appointment.
Dr. Sims is the primary physician for our whole family, including our 14-year-old and our 11-year-old sons. We are impressed with his ability to listen carefully and bring all his knowledge to each and every problem, no matter how small it might seem. HIs diagnoses have been accurate and very helpful for all of us. We not only like him personally, but think he's the best primary care doctor we've ever had.
Excellent family physician. Detail oriented and current on research and treatments.
Dr. Sims is a great doctor who is interested in the whole person
Takes lots of time to hear you out and examine you. Very interested in getting to the bottom of all problems and is very concerned about improving all aspects of your health.
