Getting personalOctober 24,2013When I was a kid in junior high, I wanted to be a doctor, an ambition that immensely pleased my mother. By the time I got halfway through high school, Id discovered I didnt enjoy dissecting frogs nearly as much I liked combatively exercising my larynx. Since lawyers, as I understood it, got paid to argue, the practice of law became my new career choice.
Then toward the end of my senior year, I decided to be an English professor, mostly because I liked Henry Thoreau and corduroy sport coats. I clung to that vocation until one of my English professors talked me out of it.
Thats how I wound up a public school teacher. I left out my elementary years when I planned to sell big cars with fins, as well as the decade I spent unloading trucks and building houses.
Ever since the prospects of commoners like you and me expanded beyond lifelong employment as serfs, distantly related adults have been pinching children on the cheek and asking, What do you want to be when you grow up. Now education officials want to replace my great aunt. After 40 years in which education reform diminished American graduates skills and knowledge, and individual initiative gave way to entitlement, public schools are again being drafted to solve a problem education policymakers helped create and society at large encouraged.
Enter Personal Learning Plans, yet another education reform that promises to make education more relevant, this time by match[ing] schooling with a students career goals. PLPs arent public educations first personal plans. Since 1974 federal law has required individual education plans for special education students, based on those students disabilities and exceptional education needs. Those IEP demands have been difficult enough for schools to meet. Now the sages who run public education, typically from a comfortable distance, have decreed that every public school student have an individual plan.
Memo to sages: Im not a private tutor. If I were, Id be ideally positioned to design and implement a personal plan for my personal student. In case you havent noticed, though, I dont teach one student in his fathers paneled library. I teach 90 students, and many of my colleagues teach many more.
But lets set aside the impracticality of PLPs. Lets not dwell on proposals that we completely redesign the school day so students, teachers, and counselors can hold regular one-on-one meetings. That, of course, would be in addition to the time teachers already spend helping individual students. Its also on top of schools principal mission to graduate literate, broadly knowledgeable heirs of the republic.
Lets examine how PLPs would transform public education.
Advocates insist that students must be at the center of PLP planning. Unfortunately, when A Nation at Risk identified what had gone wrong with schools, the problems that reformers keep claiming theyre trying to fix, Risks authors identified extensive student choice in planning their own education as a significant cause of Americas academic decline.
Boosters intend PLPs to be standard procedure in grades seven through 12, with many extending the range down as early as kindergarten. Im sure some of my students will grow up to be exactly what they think they want to be now. But I was a pretty conscientious kid, and I didnt land behind the teachers desk until I was 35. Its not wise to design an elementary or secondary education around the testimony and foresight of 6-year-olds, or even 16-year-olds.
My friend Harvey wanted to be a doctor ever since his mother hung a stethoscope over his crib. One of my classmates wanted to be a politician and wound up a poet, a poetic friend is now a Manhattan attorney, and then theres me. All of us, regardless of our career aspirations, needed to take the same liberal arts and science courses in order to prepare for college and informed citizenship. The fact is once youve identified high school programs for students opting for specific technical training and vocational trades, students headed for academic colleges need to take basically the same things, with the chief variation being not their intended major or career, but how selective the colleges theyre aiming for are.
Proponents contend, for example, that students who like science and animals need to be told by their schools that they might want to be a vet or a vet assistant. Fine, let a guidance counselor or, even better, a parent tell them. But lets acknowledge first that most children who like science and animals dont wind up working in veterinary offices. Lets acknowledge that the academic preparation required of a prospective veterinarian is significantly different from what youd recommend in a PLP for someone who tends the kennels in his office, and depends far more on their aptitudes than their shared and very likely passing interest.
If Harvey and I were in high school today, hed be taking foreign languages, college prep science, history, English, and calculus to prepare for life and college so he could become a doctor one day, and Id be taking the same foreign languages, college prep science, history, English, and calculus to prepare for life and college so I could become an English professor one day. You dont abandon a balanced, fundamental arts and science program based on liking math or poems or pets.
In a perverse irony, PLP advocates commonly insist that students be grouped in classes regardless of their aptitudes and interests. Many PLP disciples subscribe to the mantra College for All and refuse to concede that some students are suited for college while others arent, the one personalizing scholastic distinction that makes sense.
In yet another distraction and assault on the academic day, boosters mandate that PLPs go beyond a list of courses and also include experiences outside the classroom. For example, our hypothetical student who likes dogs might take time off from school to visit a vets office or intern there as part of his high school course schedule.
My passing interest in medicine is why I volunteered at the hospital, and why Harvey and I got summer jobs there. But that was on our own time in addition to our academic classes, not instead of them.
Reformers clamor that American students must be better prepared for the 21st century. It would be good if theyd stopped doing all they can to keep that from happening.

In this movie, you'll learn how some animals survive the cold winter by hibernating and going into a deep sleep. They prepare to hibernate by eating a lot and fattening up. When the temperature goes down and the days get shorter, they go into a deep sleep and live off their fat. Then, when it gets warmer in the spring, they wake up. You'll learn about different animals that hibernate through the winter, including ground squirrels and bats. But, do bears really hibernate?

- Characteristics of the liquid flame spray process

- Abstract
- Liquid flame spraying (LFS) is a new thermal spray process. Liquid feedstock is injected and atomized in an oxygen-hydrogen flame where the liquid phase is evaporated and thermochemical reactions are completed to produce fine particles. Production of nanoparticles requires a thorough understanding of the process. Therefore, various process stages were studied; i.e., the atomization of liquid feedstock, and characterization of the flame and flame-droplet interactions. Experimental techniques included laser diffraction anemometry for droplet size distribution, laser doppler velocimetry for particle velocity, pulsed laser Rayleigh back scattering for flame temperature and Schlieren photography for flame structure. Atomization is optimized with an organic solvent, such as isopropanol, nebulized with hydrogen gas at a high flow rate. Liquid droplets injected into the flame are subjected to a maximum temperature of 2600°C and are accelerated to about 160 m s-1. The flame length can be controlled by flame velocity and the solvent type. Water produces a shorter flame whereas isopropanol extends the flame. Injection of the aerosol produces a 'pencil-like' region which does not experience turbulence for most of the flame length. Experimentation with manganese nitrate and aluminium isopropoxide or aluminium nitrate showed conversion to a manganese oxide and alumina, respectively.

Bear Spray in the Park is Legal
I just got a reply from the NPS and Bear Spray is currently legal to carry in the park. THEY, AND I, caution using it indiscriminately as a last resort. This stuff is an oil based mist that hangs in the air and can blow back on you. It is recommended that a quick burst (1-2 seconds) is used, then assess the situation before using again. A cansister carries about 12 seconds of spray. Again this should be a last resort only after everything else fails. THIS IS NOT SOMETHING YOU WOULD WANT TO USE UNLESS YOU ARE ATTACKED it is only effective at very close range! It has be be spray into the bear's face, spraying around your campsite, etc. does not work. *
For those of you who venture to the Yellowstone area, it is NPS and Forest Service highly recommend you carry it in Grizzly areas, which is about everywhere there.
The bears add greatly to the experience of being in the park, if a person does what they are supposed to almost all the bears are harmless. I've said repeatedly that I would probably have to use it on a dog long before a bear.
Randy Sale
Re: Bear Spray in the Park is Legal
Good post! I bought a can of bear spray this summer when I was in Yellowstone and I carry it now when I backpack in the Smokies. It is nice to have just a little insurance. You never know what might happen. I always have it in a place where I can get to it very quickly. It comes with a nice little "holster" with a belt loop so you can carry it easy to your hand.

Toy Town

Posted 09 October 2012 - 07:26 PM
Heard a rumour that the Toy Town cup is moving to a straight knock out comeptition next year. Can anyone confirm? If it were to move to this format it should add to earlier discussions on season ticket prices....
The NR Cup next season will start with 8 Championship 1 teams (Oxford will not be taking part) playing home and away in two groups of 4. The two group winners will then join the 14 Championship clubs in a straight knock-out competition.
I remember when .............................
"It is impossible not to feel a twinge of sympathy for Workington Town, the fall guys this season for the Super League's determination to retain it's European dimension, in the shape of Paris. While the French have had every assistance to survive, the importance of having a flagship in a heartland area like West Cumbria has been conveniently forgotten." - Dave Hadfield - Independent 25th August 1996.

I have joined the "Neogeography," "mashups," or whatever you call them crowd of integrating online technology with geography. National Geographic writes about the trend, so does Map Room Blog, and Placekraft.
I feel Neogeography can be a really useful tool for geographers and non-geographers. We must be careful though not to think it is the Holy Grail that will completely rebuild the field like some thought of Quantitative Analysis or GIS.
But the big thing you all probably notice is the new map on the top of the page. That is Catholicgauze's Atlas! The Atlas, also viewable here, is spatially placed links to some of my blog posts. Go on and explore and tell me what you think.
There is a variety of Neogeography tools out there. I am using Platial but there is also Tagzania and Frapper. Let me know which one you prefer or if I left anyone out. Two interesting projects using neogeography are Chicago Crime, which maps out different types of crime reported in

In some cases, the highways are literally collapsing under the weight of the trucks.
Rural roads, never designed nor constructed for this amount of traffic, are falling apart.
The state is doing what it can to tackle this ever-growing problem.
Most recently, an army of state Department of Transportation employees converged on the area of Bee and Karnes counties to repair and improve the state highways.
On that list of work is State Highway 72 and the passing lane over which so many residents in that area voiced concern recently.
Earlier this year, residents of Pawnee met at their volunteer fire department station to talk to the state's regional engineer about their safety concerns.
Commissioner Dennis DeWitt, into whose precinct this falls, praised TxDOT for their help in getting the necessary repairs done.
"These activities were encouraged and bolstered with the resolutions passed by the Commissioner's Court several months ago as well as the public meetings held at the local TxDOT office, which were attended by several commissioner's court members and concerned Bee County residents," DeWitt said. "A special thank you to all the local residents that helped organize the meetings, contacted other residents and attended the meetings sharing their ideas and concerns.
"TxDOT responded immediately to the many concerns voiced and has listened and acted immediately and decisively to protect the health and safety of all those traveling on the highways within Bee County.
"A major thank you to all the TxDOT administrators and staff for their excellent and continuing work."
Safety, state officials say, is their top priority, and they are doing what they can, as fast as they can.
"It is for the safety for the oil and production companies. It is for safety for new residents coming in and the people who have lived in this area for a long time," said Rickey Dailey, TxDOT public information officer.
Short of a natural disaster, this is one of the larger TxDOT forces deployed to an area.
"This is a significant project for TxDOT," Dailey said. "You hear about us whenever there are snowstorms and they send us in to clear the roadways.
"This is TxDOT stepping up and addressing a similar challenge.
"This is a significant, aggressive effort on the part of TxDOT."
For many motorists, the damage being done to the highways is akin to a natural disaster.
"We are bringing crews from other areas of the state to supplement Goliad and Karnes county workers."
Another of their duties — $8.6 million worth of repair and construction of a new passing lane on U.S. 181 between Kenedy and Tuleta.
Couple this with the projects also going on here, in Karnes and Live Oak counties, and it's easy to see why such a massive amount of manpower is needed.
And the work will continue as long as the trucks continue to roll down the roadways.
"As resources become available, we are doing all we can with those resources," Dailey said.
"We are addressing the most immediate needs as quickly as we can.
"That includes us driving the roads. We also get reports from citizens and residents."
Like the state, the county, too, is working to ensure the safety of motorists.
The culvert on West King Lane, which crosses the Medio Creek, will be replaced, thanks to donations from Texstar Midstream and TEAK Midstream.
SAWS construction, out of Nursery in Victoria County, was awarded this $180,456 contract.
DeWitt said, "This is the money received from the cryogenic plants near Pettus."
DeWitt began working on the replacement of this narrow, low-water crossing earlier this year. For years, the county has been making repairs on this roadway, patching it as best they could.
But, with an expected increase in traffic, something had to be done.
That is when the cryogenic plants stepped up and offered to fund the necessary repairs.
DeWitt estimated that the replacement of the low-water crossing would take between three and four months and would benefit not only the employees who will travel this road to work but also the longtime residents of the area.
And there is still more money out there for counties, including Bee, to dip into.
Only about a month ago, Gov. Rick Perry signed a bill setting aside $225 million for a transportation infrastructure fund.
Before the county can take advantage of this money, they must do their part, and that means setting up a reinvestment zone.
The reinvestment zones are the only places in which the grants can be used.
Additionally, the bill says that each county must "create an advisory board to advise the county on the establishment, administration and expenditures of a county energy transportation reinvestment zone."
The bill also stipulates who must make up the advisory board; "three oil and gas company representatives who perform company activities in the county and are local taxpayers" and two public members.
According to DeWitt, Bee County has 400 miles of paved roads in all, and the majority of oil field activity – approximately 80 to 90 percent – takes place in Precinct 2, the northern part of the county.
Thanks to help from the oil companies, the county has been able to keep up with many of the rural roads.
The bill does not go into effect until Sept. 1, so the commissioners court still has time to decide if Bee County would like to pursue any of the grant funds.
These are just samplings of the work being done to maintain the backbone of the state's transportation system.
This county continues to partner with the drilling companies for road repair funding assistance.
And, while this concerted effort of TxDOT workers will ultimately come to a close, the local workers will continue on under the hot summer sun — patching the holes and repairing the shoulders a fast as they can.

Gov. Scott Walker said he is developing a new way to measure Wisconsin's employment needs.
Walker has publicly complained about the accuracy of monthly unemployment data based on a survey of about 3.5 percent of Wisconsin businesses. The more accurate data, based on a census of nearly all Wisconsin businesses, comes quarterly and has a six-month lag.
Walker said that gap makes it difficult to use those numbers for making quick responses to the state's employment needs. He said he is moving forward with a real-time labor management system so the state can react to job needs better.
Walker promised in 2010 to create 250,000 private-sector jobs over four years. He's far from meeting that pledge.

Ciara Rocks A Tight, Little Black Dress In NYC
We spotted Ciara arriving at the Billboard Women In Music luncheon in Soho, New York City, on Friday looking fierce in a tight leather black dress.
The singer showed off her lean and muscled calves in the mini dress, which also accentuated her small curves.
Katy Perry was named Billboard's Woman of the Year at the event, and Ciara tweeted afterwards: "Had a great time 2day at Billboard's Woman of the Year event. Katy Perry is truly one awesome lady! Ow!"
Ciara received the same award in 2008. It recognizes a recording artist's success and leadership in embracing the changing music business.

August 3, 2011 —
The Town of Bethel, which cares enough about the agricultural community to list the farms in the town on its website, will consider a number of changes to its zoning code intended to protect and encourage more agricultural activity in the town.
At a meeting on July 27, council member Denise Frangipane, who is also a member of the Bethel Agriculture Implementation Committee, presented a 17-page packet of proposed changes to her colleagues. She said the committee had considered a wide array of possible uses that might come to the town, from the very small, such as an aviary for birds, to the very large, such as a stadium for a rodeo. She said the committee tried to determine what impacts they would have on existing farms in the county, as well as other residents and businesses.
The zoning code is already fairly farm-friendly, and agriculture has played an important role as the zoning in the town has been transformed over the past six years. Many of the recommendations would make it even more so. For instance, one recommendation is "Expand the definition of open space beyond recreation and commonly owned land to include conservation and agricultural protection."
Another suggestion would "require agricultural buffers be placed when a non-agricultural use is proposed immediately adjacent to an existing farm operation or agri-business."
There is also a list of proposed definitions to be considered, such as "gentlemen farm," which is defined as an "agricultural operation that is maintained without expectation of being a primary source of income. Some provide recreational land and others are managed as small farms for sideline income, or are run at an operating loss as a lifestyle choice by people with the means to do so."
The town board will consider the proposed changes over the
next few months.
Sewer and cyberspace
In other business, supervisor Dan Sturm said the town was able to bond $2.5 million at a rate of 3.75%, which he called "amazing" in this economic environment; the low interest rate was possible, he said, because the investment community considers the town a good investment. The money will go to pay for the sewer extension to Bethel Woods Center for the Arts. Sturm pointed out that the debt would mostly be paid by Bethel Woods, and also by any other entities that hook up to the extension.
On another matter, there is a bill pending in the NYS Assembly that would require that proposed rules and regulations that are to be discussed at a town meeting or other municipal meetings be posted on the town's website before the date of the meeting during which they will be discussed. This would apply to municipalities that regularly update their sites and that have high-speed internet connections.
Robert Freeman, executive director of the NYS Committee on Open Government, which proposed the law, said in a phone interview, it would also cover such things as building permits and site plans, but added the law would only apply to bodies that reasonably have the ability to comply with it.
The bill was briefly discussed at the meeting and Sturm said that while many people who have business with the town already file documents electronically, he was opposed to adopting any regulation which would make that mandatory because it would be a "burden" for people in the community.

Dear Members,
Keep in mind that Character Bashing is now prohibited. Making fun of certain characters/character pairings leads to a pointless thread filled with insults and general rule breaking.
Also, remember that Versus threads are allowed only in the Versus section.
Thank you, NarutoBase Staff
If you lived in the ninja world and you met Naruto, how would you react. :shrug:
i would be like homie....you should marry hinata..and i'd prolly just jump up and down
Kick him in the shins and run v_v
I'd Find the other Rinnegan Eye Obito left behind and give it to Naruto.
Id hope on the fame bandwagon with him
Become his bff and start ruining the manga for you guys

This so much.
I'd say pick Hinata
Ew he's only 5'4...
Yeah, I'd give him the other rinnegan eye as well.
Though I want to see what Kakashi would do with it.
Id say teach me how to use chakra and clones. I'll most likely be the fodder character that gets owned for no reason
I'd ask him... "Is it alright if I... Y'know? With Hinata?"
Ask him why he wears an orange jumpsuit when you're a ninja.

Canada Pension Plan starts 'in-house hedge fund'
Canada Pension Plan Investment Board is launching an "in-house hedge fund" in its London office with the hire of fund management veteran Dureka Carrasquillo from Tranberg Capital Management.
Alain Carrier, head of Europe for CPPIB, said the fund wanted to hire a team of "four to five professionals" that would build a long/short portfolio targeted at Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
Although a separate person familiar with the matter said the new team would, in effect, act as an "in-house hedge fund", Carrier played down the use of such terminology, instead stressing that it was part of the firm's wider strategy to invest in public markets.
Although various pension funds have built direct capability to do deals for private equity and real estate investments in London in recent years, it remains unusual for funds to adopt a strategy of investing in long/short equities. Most prefer to allocate money through hedge funds of funds rather than building up their own capability.
Carrier said: "There is a team in Toronto that does this. We think European equities remain very attractive. It is in the context of us building out our London office; the one set of our business that has not been present is the public side."
Carrasquillo was previously at a private family office, Tranberg Capital Management, and before that worked at Invesco and Partner Fund Management, according to Carrier.
Toronto-based CPPIB, which oversees about C$193 billion ($175 billion) in assets, has offices in London and Hong Kong and last month opened offices in New York and Brazil. Its London office, which opened in 2008, now has about 60 staff and Carrier said he expects that number "will grow substantially". The firm hired Mark Corbidge, the former co-head of private equity at Doughty Hanson, in December.

Two killed in Granville, N.Y., crashBy Brent Curtis
staff writer | August 16,2014GRANVILLE, N.Y. Two people driving vehicles with Vermont license plates were killed in a fiery head-on collision on Route 25 early Friday morning, police said.
The Washington County Sheriffs Department in New York havent identified the single occupants of either vehicle due to ongoing attempts to positively identify the deceased and to contact next of kin.
Sheriff Jeffrey Murphy wrote in a statement that a gray 2003 Dodge Intrepid and a red 1991 Chevy Camaro involved in the crash were engulfed in flames when emergency vehicles arrived. Both drivers were dead when they were pulled from their vehicles, he added.
A witness to the crash told police she was driving east around 5:15 a.m. Friday when the Intrepid passed her going uphill on a section of road striped with a double solid line to indicate no passing. At the hills crest, the Camaro appeared driving west and collided with the Intrepid which was still passing in the westbound lane, the witness reported.
The impact flung the Intrepid off the east side of the road while the Camaro came to rest turned around in the westbound lane.
An autopsy was conducted on both drivers, the sheriff said.
Granville Emergency Medical Services, Middle Granville Fire and Granville Police assisted at the scene.

text: Hiya all, Right I will start at the begining I have a week old little girl who was 9lb 7oz I had a good labour only 4 hours long with just gas and air and no stitches. I bf her straight away and she was on for about an hour first feed straight after giving birth. After that she was always asking for food which I gave but after each feed never seemed settled or sleepy she had me up all night for 2 nights my boobs were sore from the constant feeding and I was extremely tired ( I have a toddler aswell) After seeing my midiwfe for advice she told me about getting her to latch on properly and I started cup feeding to help fill her up and help her sleep this helped but she was getting belly ache from swallowing all the air plus u could never tell how much she had had as she spat alot out. So in total deseration at needing sleep and trying to help my nipples I gave in and gave her a formula bottle. (this was day 4) She sucked at it as if she had never had food before in her life I felt bad as I thought all this time she has been starving. She had 3oz straight off no stopping for a break. But she slept the best sleep she had ever had. Now I put her on my boob as soon as she wants food and shes on each boob for about 45 mins sometimes longer each she falls asleep alot during each feed I have to constantly wake her and near the end of the 45 mins she gets agitated as if theres nothing left and starts getting upset, I swap boobs and wait for this to happen on other boob then shes still looking for food so I give her a bottle of formula which she finishes (3oz) and eventually falls asleep. This is taking a lot of time up and I seem to be constantly feeding I wouldnt mind doing this is I could get rid of the bottle but it seems to me that she needs more then what I am giving her. How can I get rid of the bottle feeds so she is just having me. My boobs never seem sore as I was told they would be nor do they ever feel full (hard). I have rung several helplines and asked friends for advice but all I get basically is all babies are different and to keep trying no real advice or ideas to try out to get rid of the bottle and increase my milk (Im sure this is what is needed) plzzz help I really want to breast feed exclusively. Thanks in advance for any info given

CES 2013: Sharp Demoes Double-UHD (8K) Set, Two 4K Sets, 21 New Aquos 3D Smart TVs
Jason Mick
January 7, 2013 1:30 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Subpixel processing and a pair of 4K sets promise to up the graphical ante of the Aquos line
Corp. (
) showed off a variety of TV sets this morning at a press event at the
2013 Consumer Electronics Show
at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada. Central themes were big,
high resolution
, and smarter televisions.
I. 3D, Smart TVs are Here to Stay, Says Sharp
The Japanese set-maker continues to forge ahead with its own proprietary smart TV technology dubbed "SmartCentral". Its refresh of its Aquos line includes 21 new sets distributed among the 6-Series (low-end), 7-Series (mid-range), and 8-Series (high-end). Each set features a dual-core ARM architecture processor. The sets range from 60+ inches to 80+ inches.
The latest version of SmartCentral adds the ability to use your Android or iOS device as a remote control. It also features SmartBeam, which allows you to push files from your mobile device onto your LCD set. A Flash- and HTML5-capable web browser will also be built into the sets.
Taking a page from Apple, Inc.'s (
) playbook, Sharp's luxury 7- and 8-Series models feature diamond-cut silver brushed-aluminum finishes.
Sharp Aquos 8-Series (60-inch)
All of the TVs have built in Wi-Fi and 1080p "Active" 3D compatibility. The new twist on 3D is improved filtering on the Bluetooth link; customers can now use the Bluetooth powered glasses without fear of interference from other Bluetooth signals (previously customers were advised to turn off other Bluetooth-communications in the area when watching 3D content).
Also included in the lineup is Sharp's proprietary sub-pixel processing, which the company claims offers double the detail per pixel as rival RGBY/RGB LCD designs.
The lineup answers two of the big questions of
few years'
shows -- will 3D and smart-TVs flare out? While neither technology has wowed in terms of adoption or customer enthusiasm, the solution Sharp and other manufacturers appear to be pursuing is to simply overhaul the entire lineup to feature some level of these technologies.
II. Going Big
Sharp was also eager to plug its 90-inch LED set, which it brags is the biggest available LED-illuminated LCD TV on the market. Launched in June 2012, this will continue to be a crown jewel in the company's lineup, getting a minor refresh with improved SmartCentral technology.
But 1080 is not the final destination for Sharp. The company will be launching a pair of 4K (3,840 × 2,160 pixel) sets this year. Sharp dubs these models "ultra-HD" (UHD) sets, pointing out that they quadruple the pixel count of 1080p.
[Image Source: Jason Mick/DailyTech]
The first, the ICC Purios, will hit this summer. Named after Sharp's processor partner -- the I-cubed Research Center Inc. (ICC) -- the ICC Purious will pack ICC's (integrated cognitive creation) image processor, which supposedly mimics the way a human brain deals with images. The 60-inch set is the first 4K model to receive THX certification, according to Sharp.
Sharp ICC Purios
Sharp will push out a second set -- an Aquos-branded UHD set -- sometime in the second half of the year. That set will feature an upscaler, which will try to convert standard 1080p content to 4K (similar to how the Sony Corp. (
) PS3 upscales DVD content to 1080p).
The latter set will also feature "Moth Eye" a nano-scale conical coating, which mimics moth eyes. Apparently moths have evolved the ability to minimize glare off their eye lenses to avoid predation. Inspired by nature, Sharp applied a similar design to eliminate glare on the set.
In case that wasn't enough, Sharp showed off an 85-inch 8K LED-lit LCD TV prototype (7680 x 4320 pixel). The ultra-ultra HD (so to speak) set won't be available this year, but Sharp calls it a "glimpse of the future of high definition".

Grant to the Children's Museum makes field trips more affordable
Field trips to The Children's Museum are about hands-on learning outside of the classroom.
"Having some fun but kind of sneaking that learning in along the way," said the museum's marketing director, Leanne Poellinger.
A $3,000 grant from Xcel Energy has helped about 700 students visit the Children's Museum since 2003. The La Crosse museum recently found out it is getting the grant again this year.
"What it allows us to do is offer half-price field trips to schools that have high populations of low-income students, which is a lot of the schools around here," said Poellinger.
Eight elementary schools in the La Crosse School District qualify for those discounted rates, which cut the field trip admission price from $4.50 to $2.25.
To qualify, a school has to show at least 40 percent of its students are eligible for free and reduced-price lunch.
At Hamilton Early Learning Center in La Crosse, 80 percent of students qualify. Classes at Hamilton make a trip to the Children's Museum with the help of that grant every year.
"Sometimes these experiences for kids are the only ones that they get where they're going to be able to go to a museum, experience a concert -- things that many people take for granted," said Hamilton/School of the Arts I Principal Steve Michaels.
For many of these families, cutting the admission price by just a few dollars makes all the difference.
"There is no extra money for our families. There is none ... because it's all accounted for in putting food on the table and putting a roof over kids' heads. There is nothing left," said Michaels.
But he said that doesn't mean any kid should miss out on the fun, the learning and the memories of a school field trip.
"When you talk about things that kids remember most from the year, I can say with almost 100 percent certainty that kids are going to talk about a trip they took," said Michaels. "It's rarely the math lesson that they talk about."
For many Hamilton field trips, transportation is the biggest expense. Michaels said that's another reason trips to the Children's Museum are a good deal for the school, because students and chaperones can just walk there.

text: this thread is two parts... one, a statement that Cheney officially is Palpatine; and two, the poll... discuss either, or both... 'Bush is not going to leave office with Iran still in limbo.' In a story entitled "Cheney pushes Bush to act on Iran," The Guardian writes that Cheney may be winning the debate inside the White House over how to confront Iran: The balance in the internal White House debate over Iran has shifted back in favour of military action before President George Bush leaves office in 18 months, the Guardian has learned. The shift follows an internal review involving the White House, the Pentagon and the state department over the last month. Although the Bush administration is in deep trouble over Iraq, it remains focused on Iran. A well-placed source in Washington said: "Bush is not going to leave office with Iran still in limbo."

/ Easement Program for NJ landowners impacted by Sandy; Apply by September 2
Loading Tree...
Barbara Phillips, Public Affairs Specialist
SOMERSET, August 9, 2013 – State Conservationist Carrie Mosley is reminding New Jersey landowners impacted by Sandy that they have until Labor Day to apply for the Emergency Watershed Protection Program - Floodplain Easement (EWP-FPE) Program. Up to $124.8 million has been designated for landowners in 12 states with property damaged by Hurricane Sandy through this program administered by USDA, Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). Owners of residential and agricultural land outside of the FEMA "Coastal" Flood Zones (Zones V, VE, or V1-30) may apply. "Landowners who sustained loss from Sandy's devastation have the opportunity sell to a buyer who will restore the property to function as a floodplain," said Carrie Mosley, NRCS State Conservationist for New Jersey.
NRCS is working closely with NJ Department of Environmental Protection to help identify priority areas in New Jersey. "Properties in those areas or neighborhoods that the State is targeting for the Blue Acres Program could receive higher ranking so that we can leverage State and Federal dollars," Mosley said.
The program easements are permanent in term. Public and private lands with structures, such as homes, are eligible for enrollment as well as open or agricultural lands. If a structure is present, NRCS will commission the removal or demolition of that structure and enroll the remaining lot in a permanent easement. Owners of properties zoned "residential" will need to secure a public sponsor who will assume ownership of the property upon execution of the warranty easement deed. Applicants selected for the program will be awarded 100% of value of land and structures (fair market value), and NRCS will cover the cost of restoration of the easement, including the demolition or removal of structures present on the property.
Local NRCS office personnel can help determine the FEMA zone of a property. Interested landowners should contact their local USDA Service Center for more information and to submit an application prior to the September 2 deadline. Program requirements are on the NRCS NJ website (www.nj.nrcs.usda.gov).

This print started out as a baseball card more than twenty years ago. Every aspect of it is designed to preserve the original look and feel of the card, from the printing pattern to the slightly worn edges. In fact, this print started by finding the actual card in our vault and then painstakingly re-mastering it with a team of designers. The authenticity extends to manufacturing; each print is made on high-quality, cotton fine art paper that measures 1/64 inches in thickness. Framed prints feature 2-inch flat wood or metallic frames with high-end, glare-resistant glass. And all prints are officially licensed by MLB and the National Baseball Hall of Fame.
STORYAs he reigned for two seasons as the National League's most valuable player, Dale Murphy was among the most feared NL All-Stars. In 1984, Murphy was named to his third-straight All-Star team and fourth overall. This card acknowledges his All-Star caliber in the lower-left, which makes this piece extra-special to own.

Nov. 23, 2010—Captivating Celtic music, thought-provoking poetry and spectacular stellar images collide when "Ensemble Galilei and Neal Conan: A Universe of Dreams" is presented Feb. 5 at North Central College.
This multimedia Celtic performance combines the talent of Ensemble Galilei and Conan—host of National Public Radio's "Talk of the Nation" program—with the newest images from the Hubble Space Telescope projected on stage as a perfect backdrop. The show is a transporting musical, visual and celestial experience.
The performance begins at 8 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 5, in North Central College's Wentz Concert Hall at the Fine Arts Center, 171 E. Chicago Ave., Naperville. Tickets are $40 and $30; call the North Central College Box Office at 630-637-SHOW (7469) or visit northcentralcollege.edu/showtix.
"A Universe of Dreams" includes poems by Mary Oliver, Jane Kenyon, May Sarton and Lucille Clifton. These poems are combined with narrative about the universe to create a program that Conan and Ensemble Galilei debuted in 2004. They also have collaborated on "First Person: Stories from the Edge of the World," which premiered at the National Geographic Society in 2007.
As host of "Talk of the Nation," Conan is heard each weekday on about 300 NPR stations nationwide and on NPR worldwide. Conan served NPR News as a reporter, editor and producer and as bureau chief in New York and London.
Ensemble Galilei creates what one reviewer describes as "music that speaks to the heart in ways that transcend mere language." The Washington Post declares, "Virtuoso technique, an instinctive feeling for the idiom, the courage to improvise … they play with energy, splendid ensemble, good humor and imagination."
The performance is sponsored by the National Endowment for the Arts. North Central College's 2010-2011 Sesquicentennial Fine & Performing Arts Season is supported by a generous grant from the Illinois Arts Council. USG Corporation and Navistar, Inc. are underwriting sponsors.
This performance is one of many ongoing programs at North Central College to enrich and broaden the cultural and academic outlook for the College and community. North Central offers a variety of venues accommodating a rich range of local and world-class events, performances and space needs for the public. For a comprehensive schedule of musical performances, theatrical and dance productions, art exhibits and lectures, visit northcentralcollege.edu/show or call the box office at 630-637-SHOW (7469).

National Youth Orchestra finds a new home at Laurier
Communications, Public Affairs & Marketing
Feb 19/13| For Immediate Release
Glen Carruthers, Dean
Kevin Crowley, Director, Communications & Public Affairs
WATERLOO Canadas National Youth Orchestra (NYOC), recognized as one of the best orchestral training institutes in the world, will take up residency at Wilfrid Laurier University in June.
The NYOC summer tour and training program, which began in 1960, identifies and trains young classical musicians to prepare them for professional careers in music.
From June 23 until late July, over 100 participants and teachers will live, eat, train, and perform on Lauriers Waterloo campus before embarking on a Western Canada tour. The NYOC will also perform numerous chamber music concerts while in residence at Laurier.
We are very pleased and excited for the upcoming season. Laurier has a beautiful campus with top-notch musical facilities, said Barbara Smith, executive director of the NYOC. We look forward to engaging with the Kitchener/Waterloo community and beginning a new chapter.
Youth aged 16-28 from across Canada audition for the NYOC, attracting some of the best and brightest young talent in the country. Approximately 40 per cent of Canadas professional orchestral musicians are NYOC alumni.
Lauriers Faculty of Music is committed to enhancing its national and international outreach and to expanding its out-of-classroom activities and profile with alliances such as the Tapestry New Opera and Stratford Summer Music. Becoming home to the NYOC will further these objectives.
The NYOC has played a pivotal role in the lives of so many brilliant Canadian musicians, said Glen Carruthers, dean of Lauriers Faculty of Music. The world-class mentoring and experiential learning that are part of the NYOC experience dovetail perfectly with the Faculty of Music's mission and mandate. We look forward to a long and fruitful association with this iconic national institution.
Dates and Venues for the 2013 NYOC Concert tour are available on the NYOC website, www.nyoc.org

May 17, 2001: Astronomers analyzing debris from a comet that broke apart last summer spied pieces as small as smoke-sized particles and as large as football-field-sized fragments. But it's the material they didn't see that has aroused their curiosity. Tracking the doomed comet, named LINEAR, the Hubble telescope and the Very Large Telescope in Chile found tiny particles that made up the 62,000-mile-long dust tail and 16 large fragments, some as wide as 330 feet. But the telescopes didn't detect any intermediate-sized pieces. If they exist, then the fundamental building blocks that comprised LINEAR's nucleus may be somewhat smaller than current theories suggest.See the rest:
Astronomers compared the estimated mass of comet LINEAR's nucleus before it disintegrated with the estimated mass of the debris spied last summer by Hubble and the Very Large Telescope. The two numbers didn't match up. In fact, the mass of the debris was 100 times less than the mass of the intact nucleus.
Astronomers suggest that most of the comet's bulk after the breakup was contained in pebble-sized to house-sized fragments. These fragments cannot be seen by visible-light telescopes because they do not have enough surface area to make them stand out in reflected sunlight.

Good Afternoon. This week the emphasis was, as it will undoubtedly be in coming weeks, on financial matters. On Monday, I appeared before the House Education Appropriations Committee. The State Board has requested $518 million in additional state funds in its proposed FY04 budget, but with pessimistic estimates of state revenues, we will need to work closely with the Governor and General Assembly to reach the maximum funding possible. The text of my remarks before the committee can be found at http://www.isbe.net/pdf/suptremarks.pdf.
On Thursday during a special meeting, the State Board of
Education acted on the request from
Next Monday, superintendents and special education
directors will receive a survey about the

The State Board of Education has received preliminary
2000 Census data from the
We have not been given an exact date when the final 2000 Census data will be available. Starting March 3, we will use these preliminary data to project General State Aid for the 2003–2004 school year. These data are not the same as those that will be used to allocate Title I funds to school districts. To our knowledge, no appeal process is in place; however, we are confident that school district boundaries are correct.
A comparison of the 1990 Census data with the preliminary 2000 Census data for each school district, in county order, is at http://www.isbe.net/pdf/prelim2000.pdf.
Complete FY04 Request for Proposals (RFP) Schedule
A special bulletin now posted at http://www.isbe.net/rfps/refpcal04.pdf lists all RFPs that the State Board of Education plans to issue for FY04 and the anticipated release date for each. The RFPs are grouped by major area of focus to help better determine which grant programs will best benefit school improvement agendas. The State Board will request funding from the Illinois General Assembly or anticipates receiving federal funding for these programs, but all are subject to change as a result of the appropriation process. If funding should become available for other programs, it will be listed in a supplemental bulletin. Eligible applicants for each of the RFPs are listed in the bulletin.

For Immediate Release
May 12, 2004
Springfield, Ill. More than three dozen
central Illinois public schools will be recognized next
week for making academic improvement. The 38 schools are
among a total of 98 statewide whose data shows improvement
in their student scores over three years of test assessments.
More often than not people talk about our schools
failing, and time and time again I have said that they
are not, State Superintendent Robert Schiller said.
As demands to meet the requirements of No Child
Left Behind Act increase, it is gratifying for us to recognize
those schools that are not only meeting requirements,
but are definitely showing trends in improvement.
Partnering with Northern Illinois University, a data
search identified schools where students have made consistent
academic improvement while meeting Adequate Yearly Progress.
Recognizing these schools is part of the No Child Left
Behind requirements. The State Board of Education approved
the recognition criteria during its monthly meeting in
To receive an Academic Improvement Award, schools must:
The 7.5% improvement increments were selected to match
the projected increase in annual academic performance
targets under No Child Left Behind beginning in 2005.
The program is an extension of the Spotlight Schools
honored last fall. Spotlight Schools are public schools
that achieved high academic performance in an environment
where a majority of students come from low-income
A recognition event is set for May 19 at Horace Mann
Companies in Springfield starting at 5 p.m. The remaining
schools will be recognized at events in Chicago and Mt.
Vernon in June.

Record deer case ends in $400 finePROVIDED PHOTO
These antlers are from a huge buck shot in Stamford a year ago one day after deer season ended, according to officials.
STAMFORD The case against a man who had been accused of taking one of the largest trophy-antlered whitetail bucks harvested in Vermont in more than 20 years was resolved this week when the man agreed to plead guilty and pay a fine of $400.
James Smith of Stamford was cited under a Vermont Fish and Wildlife ticket in February 2013 for taking a deer out of season.
The buck would have been the fifth- or sixth-ranking Vermont buck taken since the Boone and Crockett Club scoring system began almost 100 years ago based on its score of 165 and 2/8 gross.
However, Smith cant take credit for it because he killed the buck Nov. 26, 2013, the day after the rifle season ended.
William D. Wright, the attorney who represented Smith, said his client had not deliberately taken a deer out of season.
This was a mistake that ended up being a criminal violation. He worked a strange, unusual shift, and his weekends were Sunday and Monday. He thought he was still within season when he went out hunting on Monday and the season actually ended at sundown Sunday. There was nothing malicious, there was nothing nefarious, he said.
At the time the deer was taken, there were some complaints that it had been removed from the Vermont woods in an illegal way. Bennington County States Attorney Erica Marthage, however, said her office agreed to a plea deal because she also believed there was no deliberate intent to break the states hunting laws.
Marthage pointed out that Smith had no record of breaking hunting laws.
Game wardens investigating the case said Smith admitted early on to taking the deer.
He will be charged about an additional $100 in surcharges.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER Rep. Peter Welch, D-Vt.
