Support Schools
While choice is administered as a district program, parents experience it at the school level. Districts create the conditions so that all schools can meet standards and so that all students attend good schools that work for them. In any choice program, it is important to focus on what schools need to know and do. Under NCLB, this means two things: bringing schools into the communication loop and helping schools respond to accountability demands.
Because schools are critical to effective communication with parents, districts want to be sure that school staff can represent NCLB clearly. To parents, the face of the education system is the teacher or principal they know. New immigrant parents, who constitute an important part of the parent group that NCLB choice needs to reach, may have very little knowledge of the school district and understand only their child's school building and the people they see there. Even with the kinds of district outreach roles described earlier, the school is an essential communication link.
First Steps
Communicate to Schools About Choice
To assist with NCLB communication, schools first need to know about NCLB and their and the district's role in it. Many districts implemented communication plans to inform principals and faculty about their roles and responsibilities under the NCLB act. One district held a full-day, in-service meeting with the principals to explain thelaw, how their schools were affected, issues they should focus on in formulating required site improvement plans, and talking points they should use to communicate with others.
Milwaukee makes sure teachers are educated about school choice. Communication paths lead to schools and to teachers directly. Teachers learn about NCLB in a variety of ways:
Through the principal. The primary vehicle for communication from the district office to the schools is a weekly administrators' bulletin. The district also communicates with principals during monthly meetings.
Through literacy coaches. In each school, these school staff members lead the school's learning teams. District administrators communicate with the literacy coaches during their twice-a-month training at the district level. The literacy coaches are able to supplement the NCLB information provided by principals.
Through meetings. Communication about NCLB is included in teacher meetings.
Through workgroups. Teachers are members of workgroups that address specific reform issues requiring focused attention. Workgroup topics have included attracting highly qualified teachers, report cards, school transfers, parental involvement, and school safety. Workgroups meet periodically to discuss best practices, to understand how to follow state and federal laws, and to address compliance issues.
Prepare Schools to Communicate with Parents
Many of the districts prepare sample letters for the schools to send to parents, both about their school improvement efforts and about choice options.
In Milwaukee, each school on the "schools identified for improvement" list handled itself differently. The district worked with the schools to help them reach out to parents and include parents in the reform process. Improvement schools were notified two days before they were identified in a state press release, and in some of these schools teachers organized a telephone chain to notify parents about the designation before they read it in the newspaper.
A particularly difficult issue is helping schools provide balanced information to parents, as discussed earlier. Of course, school staff want to communicate to parents about the positive steps they are taking to make the school better, and they should do so. That's an important part of the school improvement process that NCLB is promoting. At the same time, parents may naturally turn to the familiar school site for information about their options to transfer, and schools need to be evenhanded in providing this information. Districts should equip schools with clear and specific information and encourage them to help parents understand their choice options.
In Mesa, school staff understand that choosing a school is an emotional as well as an academic decision. As part of their ongoing choice program, principals and teachers are trained to help parents decide which program would be right for a child. For example, they are knowledgeable about which schools provide the most structure, and they can describe schools that feature programs that allow students to spend two years with the same teacher.

Make all Schools "Schools of Choice"
The superintendent of a mainstream school district once commented that each of his schools needed to be a "school of choice"-a school that parents wanted their child to attend. Rather than bemoan competition or hold parents at arms length with "professional expertise," he saw the value of proactive communication from each school about its strengths and distinctive programs. The reporting requirements of NCLB further encourage communicating this kind of comprehensive and meaningful information.
The districts in this study have developed an array of options, including alternative schools, magnet schools, and charter schools. Miami-Dade, for example, has 31 charter schools and 71 different magnet programs or schools, which have special emphases in careers and professions, communications and humanities, international education, math/science/technology, visual and performing arts, and Montessori methods. The district makes these choices available within each of six transportation zones.
Earlier sections of this guide provide additional examples and suggestions about expanding school choices.
Support Receiving Schools
Schools that take in students transferred under NCLB may need support to deal with associated responsibilities. Often, the students they receive, especially students from high-poverty environments, need extra help that their new schools will have to provide. Receiving schools worry that their own test scores, high enough to meet AYP, will be brought down by lower-performing students. Both moral support and strategic assistance from the district are called for.
Desert Sands, with its magnet program, provides an example of how to support schools that take on a new student base. Principals in high-achieving schools, the Voluntary Public School Choice schools, felt threatened by school choice because they received students who they thought would bring test scores down. When the students arrived, attitudes changed. Principals saw educating these new students as a challenge, and they hired tutors. The schools' test scores did not decrease but have actually increased over the last four years.
The full-time site coordinators in Desert Sands magnet schools are key to their progress. Site coordinators, who are often teachers who have switched into the role, follow up with transfer students at regular intervals to make sure they are transitioning smoothly and adjusting to their new schools. Site coordinators are also responsible for related budgeting and administration, and for peer coaching. Some report feeling underprepared for such a range of roles, even though the district provides training and professional development.
Help Schools Market Their Programs to Parents
For many school administrators, marketing their programs to parents is a new challenge. This is another area where the district can provide assistance.
The Cambridge district's Schools at a Glance publication, a slick 20-page brochure that can also be found on the district Web site [http://www.cpsd.us/], has a feature on each school and also clearly outlines registration requirements and choice options, along with district policies for transportation and food services.
Recent school consolidation in Cambridge has delayed plans to hire a marketing professional to work with underchosen schools, but in at least one instance, parents themselves have become active in marketing the school. When the school made program changes, some parents were upset and left the school, but others remained involved and helpful. In 2002, parent volunteers created a brochure to attract prospective students. Also, a school psychologist and a third-grade teacher started an international parent group. And a parent liaison meets with prospective parents to provide tours of the school and introduce parents to the principal. Parents have also created a school Web site to promote the school's vision and activities.
Desert Sands has also worked on marketing. In 1996, when the district first considered magnet schools, some teachers and principals were concerned about how competition might affect schools in low-income areas. The first magnet school was not built in a low-income neighborhood, but marketing for the school targeted high-achieving, low-income students. The principal of a primarily low-income school worried that the loss of these high-achieving children would ruin his school. In response, the district, including the marketing team, worked with his school to create a program that increased its attractiveness to affluent, high-achieving students. According to a district representative, competition has been good, raising the bar for everyone-in-cluding the district administration.

We've received inquiries, from a number of our bloggers, about how to save a draft while composing a blog post.
At the moment, we don't provide access to "drafts", but we will in the near future. For the time-being, however, there's a simple little hack (to use the term "hack" very loosely), that will help you accomplish this...
Hope that helps!
I hope with the addition of "draft" permissions there might be a scheduler to release posts. There are times when it is easier to write three posts in a day and have them go out over the next week.

New judges, new format, new season. This is the place to weigh in on Season 10 of "American Idol"
Adedapo shouts out in online 'Idol' tour Q&A
Six of the "Idol" top 11, including Milwaukee's Naima Adedapo, took to the online streaming video world of Ustream this week to talk about their upcoming tour, which comes into town Aug. 4 at the Bradley Center.
The firing line includes reigning champion Scotty McCreery, James Durbin, Paul McDonald, Haley Reinhart, Adedapo and Thia Megia. As the "American Idol," McCreery kicks off the answer session, but as he starts to ramble, Adedapo throws out her two cents, and in doing so, helps move things along. A bit later in the video, Adedapo gives specific shout outs to Milwaukee and Chicago, and McCreery quickly chimes in his affection for our fine city, too. This is a long video, but amusing viewing for "Idol" fans, especially those planning on seeing the live show. Enjoy.

Bill Would Amend SBA Size Limits'Coverage of 'Pass-Through' BusinessesRep. Joe Sestak (D-Pa.) Jan. 12 introduced a bill to thwart large businesses from using their associations with smaller firms to benefit from preferences designed to aid those firms.The Small Business Contracting Protection Act of 2010 (H.R. 4420) would amend the Small Business Act by adding a provision on misrepresentation through the use of a pass-through business. The bill calls on SBA to issue regulations within 180 days of enactment defining the term "pass-through business."The definition is to include one or more of the following as criteria for determining whether an entity is a pass-through business with respect to another business: • the business shares a location with the other business;• the business shares ordering or personnel systems with the other business;• an officer, director, principal, stockholder, managing member, or key employee of the business participates in the business decisions of the other business;• equity interest in the business is owned by the other business;• the accounts receivable of the business is directly or indirectly controlled by the other business; and• the relationship with the business generates more than 50 percent of the income of the other business.The bill also would amend the SBA provisions on penalties for misrepresentation of a company's status as a small firm with respect to coverage of situations in which a small firm is used as a pass-through for large corporations. The bill was referred to the House Small Business Committee.
On January 28, 2010, the Office of Advocacy (Advocacy) filed a commentletter with the United States Small Business Administration (SBA), discussing small entity concerns with SBA's proposed rulemaking to regulate the 8(a) business development program.A copy of Advocacy's letter can be found athttp://www.sba.gov/advo/laws/comments/sba10_0128.html and a fact sheet summarizing this letter athttp://www.sba.gov/advo/laws/comments/factssba10_0128.pdf.If you have any questions regarding Advocacy's position on this issue, pleasedo not hesitate to contact Major Clark 202-205-6533.For more information about the Office of Advocacy, please visit our website athttp://www.sba.gov/advo/ or telephone 202-205-6533.

Ford Hit with Class-Action Lawsuit Over C-MAX, Fusion Hybrid Fuel Economy Claims
Brandon Hill & Shane McGlaun
December 27, 2012 8:48 AM

Sender E-mail
Ford C-MAX
Ford sued over hybrid vehicle efficiency claims
Ford is defending itself against a class-action lawsuit brought against it by McCuneWright, a law firm based in California, alleging false and misleading marketing campaigns for the 2013 C-MAX and Fusion hybrid vehicles. The law firm alleges fraud and negligent misrepresentation by Ford and filed the suit in US District Court Eastern District of California.
The lawsuit is seeking punitive damages including the reimbursement for the purchase price of new Ford hybrid vehicles. The main plaintiff in the suit is Richard Pitkin from Roseville, California. Pitkin purchased a C-Max Hybrid vehicle in October and alleges that he has only averaged 37 mpg during that time. That mileage is significantly lower than the EPA rating of 47 mpg.
"In its advertising and marketing campaign for the vehicles, Ford claimed that the C-Max Hybrid and Fusion Hybrid achieved a class leading 47 Miles Per Gallon," part of the 17-page suit read. "These materials helped Ford achieve record sales for the first two months of C-MAX Hybrid sales, outselling its rival, hybrid sales leader Toyota, but there was a problem. These ads were false."
The Ford C-MAX and Fusion Hybrid, like many vehicles, are essentially built to "ace the EPA test", so it can be very difficult for drivers to achieve the rated fuel economy numbers in the real world. For example, the highway portion of the EPA test stipulates that a vehicle should be able accelerate to a maximum highway cruising speed of 60 mph. Ford hybrids can operate at up to 62 mph on battery alone power if driven in the exact same manner as prescribed by the EPA. Once a driver crosses the 62 mph mark, however, the gasoline engine springs to life and the fuel economy drops.
Most major U.S. highways have speed limits of 65 mph or higher, and even if the speed limit is a more "hybrid friendly" 55 mph, most people likely cruise at 60 mph or higher. And one also has to remember that no hybrid can travel on battery power alone, indefinitely – the gasoline engine will eventually kick in to maintain cruising speed.
Ford Fusion Hybrid
Consumer Reports
reviewed the C-MAX earlier this month and found it obtained 37 mpg overall with 35 mpg in the city and 38 mpg on the highway. Similar findings with the Fusion Hybrid found that the vehicle achieve 39 mpg in testing overall.
Fuelly, a website that tracks fuel economy readings from everyday drivers, mirrors
Consumer Reports'
findings and shows that 51 drivers are
averaging just 39 mpg in the C-MAX
. The Prius v, the main competitor to the C-MAX, is
showing an average of 42.1 mpg
from 219 drivers versus an EPA combined rating of 42 mpg.
Ford isn't the only automaker to find its fuel efficiency claims disputed in court.
was caught inflating fuel efficiency estimates and was forced to create new window stickers for the vehicle fleet reflecting more realistic efficiency claims.

I'm Not A Headline Guy vs Julia's Rants!…
Well, new year but same old battles. With the first Yankees-Red Sox match-up scheduled for Friday, it's time to begin my annual grudge match with Julia of Julia's Rants. For the latest wager, the loser of Friday's spring training game has to post a blog about the opposing team's manager. For me, if the Yankees lose, I have to write a post about Boston manager Terry Francona. Conversely, if the Red Sox lose, Julia will be writing about Yankees manager Joe Girardi.
2 Comments
Oh my friend – you are a bit confused…YOU are the one who needs to be prepared to do some writing….;-) And while we have had some melting of snow…this morning? It feels like -1 with the wind chill! It has been a LONG winter so far – but hey – at least the Red Sox have had a great Hot Stove season to help keep us warm. I was wondering – how is Bartolo Colon working out for you?😉 GAME ON my friend! GO RED SOX!!
Love your friendly rivalry with Julia! Also, I think AJ will earn his money this season with Rothschild as his pitching coach.

During this beta period, we are also offering additional free space to test automatic uploading of photos and videos. For every 500MB of photos and videos automatically uploaded, you'll receive another 500MB space bonus, up to 4.5GB total.
Community Wiki
1. Open autoplay by clicking theStart button, and then clickingControl Panel. In the search box, typeautoplay, and then clickAutoPlay.
2. To turn autoplay on, select theUse AutoPlay for all media and devices check box.
3. Go to Pictures and Video Files and select Import Pictures and Videos Using Dropbox.
4. ClickSave.
1) Get referred by a current user (Remember, referrals are not permitted on SD) - 2.25GB otherwise 2GB if you are not referred
2) Complete at least 5 of 7 easy getting started tutorial steps - 250MB
3) Complete these simple tasks
- Connect your Twitter account with Dropbox - 128MB
- Connect your Facebook account with Dropbox - 128MB

If anyone else has ways to get more bonus storage please post.
MAC (SL/Lion users) :
This worked for me after I inserted a SDHC card formatted via my Nikon camera. So here's what you need to do :
- Format your memory card in your camera.
- Take it out and plug it to your Mac (via a reader or via the SDHC-Slot - if available). Make sure dropbox is not running prior to inserting the card.
- Take a big sized movie file and rename the extension to .jpg on your mac
- Move it over to the folder in your card.
- Eject the card
- Launch dropbox
- Plug the memory card back.
- Dropbox should now recognize the card and pop up a message whether you want to import the pics from your camera.Select Yes
- It'll then copy the file you created above and move it to dropbox folder on your mac
- The moment it gets copied over to the DropBox folder on your mac wait a minute or two and delete the big sized file (from your mac)
- Voila.. you'll see that your dropbox limit has gone up
Little confusing instruction and I hope you guys can follow it.
work great... from XReflection's post
Quote :Before doing this make sure you install the beta version of dropbox (from the forum link)
1) Find a removable storage device (usb drive is what I used)
2). Transfer 4.5GB (or more) worth of photos to a folder named DCIM in the root of the drive (not sure if this is necessary, I did it as a precaution).
3). Unplug the drive and plug it back in
4). In the autoplay window that pops up select "Import pictures and videos using dropbox"
5). A bubble notification on the notification bar should say "Finding photos to upload, click here for info." Click it.
6). Let the photos import to your dropbox folder (wait till the bar fills up).
7). Your dropbox folder should open after it finishes. Go ahead and delete all the photos. You don't need to actually let it upload.
8). Another notification should say that your space has been increased.
If you delete all the files from the Camera Upload folder, you instantaneously get the credit for the "uploaded files" even if you didn't upload it!
Make sure you guys upload another 500mb worth of file to your folder after you delete everything and get your initial 4.5gb because doing this extra step will give you another 500mb for a total of 5gb -canknee
You do not have to have the pictures with .jpg extension to upload,just change the extension of the any movie file to .jpg and you will be able to upload that file to dropbox camera folder
MAKE SURE YOU USE THE LATEST BUILD, OR YOU MAY NOT SEE THE INCREASE IN YOUR DROPBOX SPACE! It is 1.3.13. I didn't see the space increase with 1.3.12, had to reinstall 1.3.13, then saw it instantly. (2/4/12)
Windows: http://dl-web.dropbox.com/u/17/Dr...1.3.13.exe
Mac OS X: http://dl-web.dropbox.com/u/17/Dr...1.3.13.dmg

I uploaded movie files as regular mpgs (put them in a DCIM folder first) and did not have to rename them. The uploader grabbed them and off they went. Spotmom
Put important update info and issues here, please. TY.

List of all the other ways I found to maximize free Dropbox storage space.
If you need help getting this to work try following this guide: https://slickdeals.net/forums/showpost.php?p=
They do not use RAW files from a DSLR (Canon .cr2). Must be jpg.
Mac Users
Be sure to check out drop box encore. [joyofmacs.com]
This mimics another dropbox so that you can run 2 separate folders with 2 different accounts on the same machine.
Explanation from the website: "Dropbox Encore enables a second instance of Dropbox to run in a single Mac OS X user account. Each instance of Dropbox must have (1) a unique Dropbox account and (2) a separate local Dropbox folder."
For people that don't have enough pictures
Thanks to grahamsz provided this link here
Fake Images Pack
It's a 17k zip file containing JPG files that worth 4.5G and it's recognized by Dropbox client.
All you have to do it's just
1.download that file
2.extract it to a SD card ( Extract it twice. First time to a tar file, then from the tar files to pictures. Download 7zip if you don't have any zip software)
3.start the auto play export to Dropbox (take out and re-plug the SD card, run from windows right click menu w/e you need to get it export)
3.5 If you do this with a USB drive and try to import and Dropbox says "No new photos found", create a folder in the root of your USB drive named DCIM and place the images there.
4.Let it run till all file are sync to your local Dropbox folder.
5.At this point you should have all your 4.5g space enabled, verify that, and delete all the files in local Dropbox folder.
Done.... in 10min
If you can't get autoplay to work for an SD card on Windows 7, try the following
create two registry files below, merge them into windows, reboot and you should be able to right click and select autoplay on your SD card.

Step by step instructions for setting up virtualbox and do the referrals yourself. Credit to MythOfEchelon http://www.youtube.com/user/MythO...ture=wa
Thanks to everyone and specifically, MythOfEchelon but I wanted to suggest a few shortcuts to help reduce the number of steps. Thanks, jaslam
Step-by-Step instructions (there are only so many steps because I detailed every single step you'll need to know. No assumption of technical knowledge was used):
NOTE: Might not work anymore, DropBox might be detecting single IP addresses. You might get ineligible referral when you do it (2/15/2012). You might have to refresh your IP address for this to work.
1.) Download and install VirtualBox - https://www.virtualbox.
2.) Download Ubuntu 11.10, 32-bit - http://www.ubuntu.com/start-downl...&releas
3.) Run VirtualBox
4.) Select New and click Next.
5.) Give your VM (Virtual Machine) a name and set Operating System as "Linux". Version should automatically be set as "Ubuntu"
6.) Keep pressing Next and then press Create
7.) Select your newly created VM and click Settings.
8.) Select Storage and then on the CD symbol underneath "IDE Controller"
9.) To the right of the "IDE Controller" tree, click on the CD symbol underneath "Attributes" and then click "Choose a virtual CD/DVD disk file..."
10.) Locate your downloaded Ubuntu 11.10 .iso, select it and click Open
11.) Ensure that "Live CD/DVD" is checked
11A.) At this time, you could decide how many times you were going to refer yourself (e.g. 32 times for 16GB max bonus) and you could right click on your VM and click "Clone" as many (e.g. 32) times. This way you could skip step 4 to step 11 above
12.) Select your VM and click Start
13.) Close any pop-ups and click "Try Ubuntu" when it eventually displays (machine may restart a few times)
14.) Log into Dropbox on your Master System (not Ubuntu) and navigate to "https://www.dropbox.com/referrals". Make a note of your Dropbox referral link (for example, "http://db.tt/PvENWFG"). Also navigate to "http://www.guerrillamail.com/" and make a note of the generated email address
14A.) You can even skip having to go through the referral link because DropBox remembers which user had invited the random generated email (e.g.) firstname.lastname@example.com
15.) Back inside the VM, click on the Firefox icon on the left-hand side of the screen
16.) Within Firefox, navigate to your Dropbox referral link from Step 14.
17.) Make up a first and last name, then enter the email address from Step 14 and enter a password of your choice.
18.) Click Create Account
18A.) The steps above to create an account can be done in your regular machine (not VM) using Chrome Incognito or FireFox InPrivate browsing mode for faster processing. The VM can be slower. Then all you need to do on your VM is the go to www.dropbox.com/install to download the software.
19.) Click on the 32-bit "Ubuntu (.deb)" installer
20.) Leave "Open with Ubuntu Software Center" checked and click OK
21.) Ubuntu Software Center should then open. Click Install and then Add to Launcher at the bottom right of the screen
22.) Click on the Dropbox icon on the left-hand side of the screen
23.) Click OK on the pop-up. Dropbox should now start downloading and unpacking
24.) Select "I already have a Dropbox account" and click Next
25.) Enter your email address from Step 14 and the password you chose. Click Next
26.) Free space should then be issued
27.) Click Machine on VirtualBox, click Close, select "Power off machine" and click OK
28.) Right-click on your VM, click Remove and Delete All Files
29.) Repeat Step 4 - 28 for as many referrals as you want (ensure you generate a new email address each time).
It gets easier each time, don't worry.
29A.) Or just repeat the reduced steps, as applicable.
Again, excuse my messing with your instructions - those were lovely and wonderful. Just thought shortcuts would help - jaslam.

Before 8 a.m., they were invited inside to take a seat on chairs provided, offered a cup of coffee or juice, and waited for the Mission Team members to finish setting out all the canned and boxed goods, frozen chickens, breads and desserts on the long tables.
When the volunteers were ready at the registration and checkout tables, assisting at the food tables or with wagons to carry out the heavy bags of food to the waiting vehicles, the crowd began going through the line 10 persons at a time when called.
Familiar with the drill, the Methodist volunteers and many longtime customers exchanged words of greeting, smiles and hugs.
The entire operation of caring and sharing was accomplished in about an hour and half. The tables and chairs were taken down and loaded on carts along the gym walls, and wagons were stored away until the next food distribution, hosted on the second Saturday of every month.
The FUMC Food Bank began more than 15 years ago with money left over from a donation for the annual Community Christmas Dinner. It has become a "loaves and fishes" story, as money and food donations have continued to come in, and the Food Bank is still helping to meet the needs of Bee County families.
The program receives monthly donations from the Corpus Christi Food Bank, bakery goods from the local H-E-B store, as well as financial and food donations from groups and individuals in the church and community. For two years now, it has received grants from the Coastal Bend Community Foundation.
The FUMC Food Bank is followed by The Table at that church, which serves a noon meal on the third Saturday of the month, and the First Baptist Church Food Bank on the fourth Saturday of the month.

Almost all children have times when their behavior veers out
of control. They may speed about in constant motion, make noise nonstop, refuse
to wait their turn, and crash into everything around them. At other times they
may drift as if in a daydream, unable to pay attention or finish what they
However, for some children, these kinds of behaviors are
more than an occasional problem. Children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity
disorder (ADHD) have behavior problems that are so frequent and severe that
they interfere with their ability to live normal lives.
These children often have trouble getting along with
siblings and other children at school, at home, and in other settings. Those
who have trouble paying attention usually have trouble learning. An impulsive
nature may put them in actual physical danger. Because children with ADHD have
difficulty controlling this behavior, they may be labeled "bad kids" or "space
Left untreated, ADHD in some children will continue to cause
serious, lifelong problems, such as poor grades in school, run-ins with the
law, failed relationships, and the inability to keep a job.
treatment is available. If your child has ADHD, your pediatrician can offer
a long-term treatment
plan to help your child lead a happy and healthy life. As a parent, you
have a very important role in this treatment.
ADHD is a condition of the brain that makes it difficult for
children to control their behavior. It is one of the most common chronic
conditions of childhood. It affects 4% to 12% of school-aged children. ADHD
is diagnosed in about 3 times more boys than girls.
The condition affects behavior in specific ways.
ADHD includes 3 groups of behavior symptoms:
inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. The table below explains these
Not all children with ADHD have all the symptoms. They may have one or more of the symptom groups listed in the table above.
Remember, it is normal for all children to show some of these symptoms from time to time. Your child may be reacting to stress at school or home. She may be bored or going through a difficult stage of life. It does not mean she has ADHD.
Sometimes a teacher is the first to notice inattention, hyperactivity, and/or impulsivity and bring these symptoms to the parents' attention.
Your answers to these questions may lead to further evaluation for ADHD.
If your child has shown symptoms of ADHD on a regular basis for more than 6 months, discuss this with your pediatrician.
The following is a list of support groups and additional resources for further information about ADHD. Check with your pediatrician for resources in your community.

Meet Tokyoflash Ni, a wrist wear design that brings together stylish lines, custom curves and a smart new way to view time.
Made entirely from stainless steel with a bright, polished finish, Ni features crisp horizontal grooves on the face and strap giving the design a continuous appearance. The tapered edges where the case meets the strap ensure a neat finish.
The slimline case and strap allow this timepiece to wrap comfortably around your wrist and the simple buckle closes to complete the look.
The display moves across the face in a sweeping manner, with the time progressing in the same direction. A single touch of the upper button sends the lights into a sparkling animation before the time is displayed.
Each LED on the lowest line indicates two hours, the line above indicates a single hour, a combination presenting the current hour. Groups of 10 minutes are presented on the centre line and single minutes on the upper two lines. The date can be read in a similar manner with a second touch of the upper button. Subtle etched graphics on the face make reading the time easy.
Available in three color variations; all blue LEDs, all white LEDs or red & green LEDs, Ni is a bright fashion statement that will become one of your favorite accessories.
This product is no longer available.

text: I have been TRYING to breastfeed for 4 weeks now. After the first week, my son began vomiting & staying in a fussy all the time. The doctor advised us to feed every 3 hours, 10 minutes on the first side & switch if needed. He also placed the baby on Axid for reflux. This was supposed to cure him from all the screaming. My milk seemed to be flowing rapidly. However, when I've needed to pump, I struggled to get 3-4 oz. For the last week, my son has had green poop. Occasionally, there has been blood present. For three days, I have tried block feeding, allowing him only to nurse off one side until he quit, which usually is when he falls asleep. The fussines decreased. However, today has been hell. He is extremly fussy. He seems to be starving whenever he is awake. Could I have influenced my milk to dramatically decrease? Did I mention, he has gained alot of weight from 9.2 to 11.6 in 4 weeks?

World Data Bank II: North America, South America, Europe, Africa, Asia (ICPSR 8376)
Principal Investigator(s): Central Intelligence Agency
The boundaries of five different geographic areas -- North America, South America, Europe, Africa, and Asia -- are digitally represented in this collection of data files that can be used in the production of computer maps. Each of the five areas is encoded in three distinct files: (1) coastline, islands, and lakes, (2) rivers, and (3) international boundaries. There is an additional file for North America (Part 4: North America: Internal Boundaries) delineating state lines in the United States and provincial boundaries in Canada. The data in each of the files is hierarchically structured into subordinate geographic features and ranks, which may be used for output plotting symbol definition. The mapping scale used to encode the data ranged from 1:1 million to 1:4 million.
