May 21, 2004 -- AUBURN HILLS - With all the talk about the Knicks courting Rasheed Wallace, there's another Piston big man who fits what Isiah Thomas is looking for - 7-foot restricted free agent Mehmet Okur.
While Detroit GM Joe Dumars has been emphatic about re-signing Wallace, Okur's status is unclear. As with Wallace, Thomas is expected to take a run at Okur, it has been learned.
If Wallace does re-sign with the Pistons, Okur could be the odd-man out and the Knicks have their $5 million mid-level exception to play with. Thomas has said he will be very active with his mid-level exception.
Knicks coach Lenny Wilkens said the club would look for an athletic power forward. Okur doesn't meet that description, as he's slow, but he has brawn and size and can block shots, unlike Nazr Mohammed. Plus, this free-agent class is weak and Thomas can eliminate all the talk that he doesn't like European talent if he signed Okur.
Okur is restricted, meaning the Pistons could match any offer for him. But because Okur has played only two years, the Pistons can't match an offer over $5 million from an under-the-cap club. Hence, they can match the Knicks' offer.
The capped-out Knicks also can only offer Wallace their mid-level at a maximum six years, bringing the total to $37.5 million. Thomas could be creative and try to lure Wallace for two years at the mid-level ($5.0M, $5.5M) then re-sign him to a 75-percent raise, according to CBA rules. That would make his salary in the third year $9.62M.
It's clear Pistons coach Larry Brown doesn't always know what he has with Okur, a native of Turkey who is in his second NBA season. Speculation that Okur was all but history as a Piston surfaced in Detroit after the Game 5 three-overtime classic last Friday.
Despite all the foul-outs, including Rasheed Wallace, Ben Wallace and Tayshaun Prince, Okur did not play in any of the three OTs, as Brown went with a small-ball lineup.
However, Brown learned from his mistake. In Game 6, with the Pistons trying to rally from a 13-2 hole, Okur was put into the game at small forward for the erratic-shooting Prince and Detroit thrived. Okur combined with the Wallaces for a lethal and big frontcourt that made it tough for the Nets to get to the rim in the halfcourt.
i said before that id definitely take him. sadly i dunno if he can play center tho... hed be great tho hes young 2.
Peter the Russian...back like cooked crack
hey hey hey smoke weed every day
It would be a good pickup for the knicks. Thomas has never been too keen on players from europe. Still even, he might have to put that aside and sign Okur, it can't be denied that he would add size up front + he has a nice shot. Now more than ever, it doesn't look like Wallace will leave the Pistons, we need to have some backup plans this summer. I have a feeling the Knicks and Miami might swap some players.
He's young and he can block shots. Of course we should get him.
He' fit perfectly---But Isiah won't touch him cause---He's White...we all know what Zeke does to white folks....
In the preseason, if they don't get rid of Trybanski, I'd like to see more of what he can do... He is pretty tall, but I don't know how much skill he actually has in terms of offense and defense.
One outta three ain't bad.
yeah thats def true, but evene if he did come to the knicks, i couldnt see him havin much of an impactOriginally Posted by AJD
I don't like Okur so much!! I'd prefer a trade between kurt thomas and antwan Jamison
East coast West coast run wild.....
i would take hes a good bench player
yea i dont think anyone implied that he would be a starter unless we lose a bunch of guys.Originally Posted by JJtheKnick
Peter the Russian...back like cooked crack
hey hey hey smoke weed every day
I have been hearing he is very interested in the Suns and wants to possibly join them this summer, so Thomas better be a good persuader.
I love Okur!! He would be a good fit for any team!
i meant he will be strong off the bench hes a good all around player
update in NY Post:
The Pistons' plans for Okur are muddled, as his playing time has suffered. The Knicks can offer Okur the mid-level exception, a six-year deal starting at $5 million. If they do, and the Pistons re-sign Rasheed Wallace, it's not likely Detroit will match.
Okur is not Isiah Thomas' first choice for the $5M mid-level exception, but he's in the mix. With Allan Houston's knee a concern, the Knicks would love to add restricted free agent combo guard Jamal Crawford, particularly with the growing sense the Bulls won't match a mid-level offer. However, Thomas could do a sign-and-trade with the Bulls, then use the mid-level on a big man.
Okur can play all three frontcourt positions, but Larry Brown doesn't like him enough to pull struggling small forward Tayshaun Prince from the starting lineup. And in a telling remark last Friday, Joe Dumars, in talking about the Pistons' future, excluded Okur's name.

If Beeville residents want to discover what could happen if its city leaders don't ensure its water supply, we suggest reading editor Tim Delaney's account (in Wednesday's Progress) of the little town in McMullen County that dried up and blew away.
He wrote: "A good example of a town that died because of drought is Wentz, once located at the end of Farm-to-Market Road 99, south of state Highway 72, in McMullen County.
"Today, hardly a trace of Wentz can be found, but once, back in the early 20th century, the town had grown to a population of 200 people."
According to the Texas Handbook Online, "by 1914, Wentz had a post office and, by 1916, a hotel, two schools, two grocery stores, a meat market, a cotton gin, a lumberyard, 200 people and a weekly newspaper."
The Handbook continues: "Wentz was crippled by a drought that lasted from November 1916 to March 1918. Repeated attempts to drill water wells met with failure. By the early 1920s, most of the residents had left; in 1921, the post office was closed. The schools closed in 1948, and, by 1952, only a few families lived in the general vicinity. A 1967 map shows nothing standing on the original townsite."
Delaney concluded, "Wentz serves as a reminder how valuable water is to people. Without it, towns die."
Certainly our area has been blessed with some beneficial rains in the last week and a half. Fields are green, and stock tanks are overflowing. In fact, county officials have rescinded the burn ban in Bee County, effective Friday.
Yet, we're always just days, months or years away from the next drought in this arid section of South Texas.
It is encouraging that city leaders were meeting with officials at the State Capitol in Austin about this important topic and are considering a bond issue to fund expensive projects to guarantee an ample supply of water for the Beeville area's future.
However, we cannot emphasize enough where we believe this issue needs to rate on Beeville's priority list. If not, we will remember when this city once had so much promise... Wentz upon a time. – Chip Latcham

2011 Baby!!!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!! I am soooo excited for 2011. It's kind of creepy how fast it's here already, but I'm excited nonetheless.
2010 was a great year, no doubt about it. Especially for Padres baseball. Our season was amazing!! We had a season that far exceeded all the expectations of just about everybody. But even as the season went on, and we won much more than seemed possible, not many people believed in us. Of course, the faithful did. The die-hards did. We believed in them all the way up to the last game of the season, when our only hope was to win against the soon-to-be World Champions. We weren't able to come through in that game, but it was still a season worth celebrating.
There were some sad moments this year, most memorably, at the very beginning of the year, in January, when Kevin Kouzmanoff was traded. That hurt me very, very deeply. It was really hard to see him leaving my team, and my fanhood did suffer because of it. But he's still my baby, no matter where he's playing. He's in Oakland now, but I'm still cheering for him and hoping that maybe someday he'll get to come back to the Padres. The "Kouz Krush" lives on! (Thanks to unclejackie for that wonderful phrase!)
We also lost Adrian Gonzalez, which was quite the blow, but I guess it was easier to handle. We all knew that it was coming and it was handled so smoothly that it's easy to deal with. Also, he's going to the Red Sox, my second favorite team. At least he didn't go to the Yankees. I would have been sooo upset if he had gone to the Yankees.
This was also a big year for my blog. I celebrated my second blog birthday, which was very fun. I also found myself in the Top 10 Latest Leaders for the first time ever, and have stayed in there consistently over the next few months.
Thank you all so much. This year was a blast, and I'm looking forward to more blogging and more Padres baseball in the year ahead. I'm also really looking forward to the FanFest, in which I will be meeting a lot of you through the Twitter meetup and just walking around Petco Park. I can't wait to start a new season with a new team and hopefully get to watch some great Padres baseball.
Have a great New Year, everyone.

Happy New Year!!
I'm your first commenter of 2011! Haha🙂 It's a pleasure having you here and I hope this year is filled with nothing but happiness for you. It's been so much fun getting to know you and hanging out at Petco Park together. Fan Fest! Gah, I just can't wait! Our plan is going to totally work out.🙂 Have fun blogging! http://hyunyoung.mlblogs.com
There is a reason you have popped up into the Latest Leaders list so high. Good writers with a passion for the game both on the field and off tend to get some awesome hit and comment numbers.
I think you can expect the same if you keep up this grest style of blogging, and just loving your Friars.
Going to be a great year for MLB in 2011. Not sure why I feel that way yet, but something in my belly tells me we are going to see some really special moments this year.
Rays Renegade
If 2011 is as good to the Padres as 2010 was I'm sure there will be a lot of happy people in Southern California. I just wish I could be blessed with the same success in Pittsburgh. That would truly make 2011 a great year
Happy Second Birthday to your blog and congrats on being such a consistent leader of this blogosphere! And yes, the season is just around the corner!

Pfeiffer Upsets No. 12 Gannon
from press release
MISENHEIMER, N.C. - Getting four goals apiece by Liz Melesh (Annapolis, MD), Rachel Hebberd (Golden, CO) and Shannon Bonnel (Mechanicsville, MD), host Pfeiffer University was able to score a 15-13 win over 12th-ranked Gannon University in women's lacrosse action on Thursday afternoon. The win pushes the Lady Falcons to 2-1 overall while the Golden Knights suffer their first loss dropping to 1-1.
Bonnel, along with reigning player of the week Natalie Marvin (South Berwick, ME), put Pfeiffer up 2-0 early on while Kimberly Neagle (Auburn, NY) would get Gannon on the board at the 26:03 mark. After Hebberd and Jess Fugate (Wooster, OH) traded their first goals of the day, Bonnel and Fugate again would later do the same for a 4-3 contest with 16:03 to play in the first half.
Melesh would then strike on back-to-back shots to give the Lady Falcons a little breathing room up 6-3, but three of the four final goals in the opening period belong to Gannon, two by Neagle, for a 7-6 Pfeiffer lead at the break.
Bonnel and Hebberd would score back-to-back starting the second half scoring while Stevie Lombardoni (Mexico, NY) put home her lone goal of the day for a 9-7 game. Pfeiffer would reel off the next three-straight thanks to Bonnel, Hebberd and Sarah Daly (New Market, MD) before Fugate and Caitlyn Fisher (Cypress, TX) swung a little momentum back to the Golden Knights trailing now by just three.
After Melesh hit again just past the halfway point of the second, Fisher, Neagle and Fugate would combine for three-straight Gannon goals to bring the visitors to within one at 13-12 with 11:52 to play. Melesh would then net the eventually game-winner, followed by insurance from Hebberd, before Gannon's Rachel DerCola (Rochester, NY) closed out scoring with 2:11 remaining.
Katherine Athens (Huntingtown, MD) would post a game-high five groundballs for the Lady Falcons while Britton Muir (Woodsboro, MD) caused two turnovers. Jamie Alcala (Fredericksburg, VA) would stop 12 Golden Knights shots to pick up the win in goal. Gannon was led by Fugate and Neagle's four goals while Fugate picked up a team-high four groundballs. Sarah Grzybinski (New Market, MD) led with a game-high seven draw controls as Gannon took 17 of the 30 draw controls in the match.

So I have been pumping since my son was born (hes 6 months and 5 days old) I did BF him for 2 1/2 months, then he REFUSED to latch and I hated the ''rejected'' feeling and gave up... I know shame on me, I shouldve kept going with it and I realize now I wish I wouldve tried harder because pumping is such a task!! Ontop of the task, 4 months ago my deep freezer broke and I lost 900 oz of frozen BM! I just about died but I kept going! And Im happy that I have reached 6 months! But, I have been cutting back from pumping because I have a 2 1/2 year old and a 6 month old that require SOOOO much attention I dont find the time to pump 5x a day how I used to. So now Im pumping morning and at night right before bed. I get about 11-13oz each time I pump which I know is still a good output, but I tried to give him milk from my frozen stash today and he hated it. It doesnt smell metalish or soapy, it smells a little acidic and tastes a little acidic but it isnt bad. Does this make sense? Has anyone had this problem? Is it just a matter of him getting used to the taste of frozen BM versus freshly pumped? He cried when I first gave him the milk pushed the bottle out of his mouth and did it a few times but ended up drinking it. Should I stop giving him fresh milk and just start giving him my oldest frozen milk so that he gets used to the flavor??? HELP! I cant bare to think all this hard work and him not want it... How will I keep up with pumping? I was already beginning the cutting back process, I did 5x, then about 2 months ago did 4x then 1 month ago I went down to 3x a day then I dropped to 2x because my mid-day pump I would get only like 5-8 oz (which for me is a little bit) and the 30 mins sitting there for that when I have a toddler and infant that need me is so time consuming and hard to keep up with when you have to stop a million times while pumping to attend them. So my pumping before they wake and pumping when they are asleep has been working out fine. Im just worried my milk supply will begin to decrease soon (I have been doing 2x a week for almost 2 weeks now)
Sorry, I know super long bla bla bla thread

Fl is the shit, But if I wanna get some where whats a good DAW to use ?
There are a ton of guys making a living using FL in multiple genres such as hip-hop, trap, house, and experimental. Unless you wanna get more into live instrumentation FL is fine. It's easy to use and has a ton of potential when it comes to beat making. But if your just inching for a change try Ableton Live, also you might wanna try some hardware gear like an MPC or a SP.

Says who?
Listen up Primate, just because you can't get the results you desire from FL Studio doesn't mean something is wrong with FL Studio, the problem comes down to you as the user. In fact FL Studio is designed to give it's users 4 - 8 ways to accomplish the same result. It's also the fastest, easiest and one of the most advanced and powerful DAWs on the market. It's only people with linear thinking who snark with ultra silly criticisms like it's crap.
Why are you so mad, friend? I was just messing around, FL Studio is okay. I used to use it actually, until I moved on to hardware. Also, I don't appreciate the attack on my credibility. I'm famous.

LOL! I was never mad, and to be perfectly honest I never heard of you before. I thought what you said was ultra silly and I challenged your statement with facts.

OP it's easy to forget to turn off the Stretch feature, after several minutes spent undoing that mistake it'll become second nature to check whether it's ticked or not.
This is a prime example of why you should always use the digital user manual whenever you're thinking about using new features, and why you need to save often.

As I said the thread was dead long ago, time you got pulled up anyway, sick of your condescending bullhang just cos you made a hit in the golden era with a casio keyboard, think it wavers the you the right, to just go to town on anyone and speak down to people, do you really think I give 2 flying fucks if some overated producer uses whatever program or programs or channels Da Vinci to scratch for them, the video was bait, a joke, a wind up, as for being low informed I just don't fill my head with useless info and try and keep up to date with what people use, and obsess over a program, SOME people take things way to seriously, I knew some sorry arse DAW protector would rise to it and run in here waving the FL is God flag!!, so who's the dummy now ? dummy, You could actually give some cool advice, that's to easy though, there has to be that underlying dig at someone, if it's a sense of humour your trying to established via written communication as if you are talking, then that is going to get confused and ultimately fail, as I can't see your body language or hear you talk, something tells me you ain't playing though. I'll make it clear I AM PLAYING It ain't Islamic Extremists we have to watch out for, it's the FL support squad.
I take it you're one of those low information kinda folk, because the only dummy here is you.
He still uses it, I know this as a fact because I was interviewed for new promotional videos.
I also know the other 6 dudes were shot for the same thing.
Posted 08 June 2013 - 12:40 AM
You stated an untruth as if it was fact and I called you on it and now that you look and feel absolutely stupid as you try and reverse the tables? I certainly hope no one else here is dumb enough to fall for your sudden bait and switch.
First of all I'm still making records and I'm still charting and my records are still getting spins on the radio so once again you're spewing lies. Maybe if you were just a little honest and trustworthy in your words I could find some kind of redemtption in the weak plee you now cop.
Second, I saw a post that was at the very top of the board and I replied to another nonfactual reply. You're the one who chose to my reply with bullshit and as we all know by now I shed a spot light on your dishonesty. So if you can't be truthful perhaps you should sit in front of a mirror for a few hours and think really hard about what you've done to yourself and your credibility.
Ha ha!! you are for real!!!!! thought you were, ODK right again, I am the biggest wind up merchant going and you bit like a bitch!! get over yourself man, it's cool though, I've learnt that your arrogant as fuck, and narrow minded, your perspective, so you must be right, you must be cos you made a hit in the 1600's, and your so much better than all of us on here, fools like you keep shit going like this cos you have nothing else to do, apart from researching better producers that use the same shit, why you on here man this is all underground, has no place for radio bullshit and rap pop, so my truth and fact for the day is your the Hiphop(Sorry RAP version) of Bob Geldof, living of the rep of one beat. I'm challenging what you say because it annoys you, no other reason really, apart from disrespecting everyone on here, and you deserve it quite frankly, I'm glad you wasted your time responding quite frankly as that still proves to me I am right ha ha!! So plug ya casio in and go save Hiphop(sorry RAP) with a hit. I'll keep smiling cos I know I'm right.

New Leaders For New Schools Grows as a "Change Master" for Quality Education
Great businesses have one thing in common: great leaders. But when it comes to school leadership, the business model is not the only one. School leaders can also learn from other sectors, including philanthropy and politics. While working at the U.S. Department of Education, and later at the White House, Jonathan Schnur realized that training based on a composite profile of the ideal school leader was needed. He also recognized that nearly 40 percent of the nation's principals would qualify for retirement in the next five years. What to do?
After leaving Washington to pursue coursework at Harvard Business School and Harvard Graduate School of Education, he became determined not just to widen the pipeline of exceptional principals, but to change the caliber of leaders in urban schools, whom he felt lacked rigorous training in instructional and community leadership, management, and school reform. With the help of colleagues from Harvard, he created what was to become New Leaders for New Schools, a nontraditional training program for school leaders. Since its inception in 2000, the New York City-based organization has trained 230 school leaders, impacting the achievement of over 100,000 students.
Schnur and his nonprofit are not done yet, however. The notable aspect of New Leaders for New Schools is its double vision of nationally scaling up to achieve a critical mass of highly qualified education leaders and locally cross-pollinating leadership techniques and strategies to improve education across school types.
New Leaders' ambitious and deliberate growth plan includes building a corps of 2,000 principals who will have an impact on 50,000 teachers and one million students each year by 2014. The organization has a National Director of Growth, who carefully monitors the expansion effort in such places as Washington, DC, and Memphis, Tennessee, where between 2006 and 2007 about 40 percent of public school principals will be graduates of the New Leaders program. Twenty percent of principals in New York City's newest public and charter schools will also consist of New Leaders graduates. New Leaders believes that these numbers of highly qualified principals will advocate for change both within their schools and their districts, spurring other aspects of the participating school systems to improve.
In every city, three pillars drive the New Leaders program. The first pillar consists of attracting and selecting outstanding future principals. Recruitment for new candidates begins in early fall with a campaign focusing on an executive-style "head hunter" approach with local and national nominator networks. Every candidate must have at least two years of teaching experience. In general, a ll applicants have at least five years of professional management or leadership experience in K-12 or higher education, military service, nonprofits, or other social services to qualify for the program.
A three-part process is used to screen and select candidates based on ten criteria highlighting the qualities and values that New Leaders seeks in its principals. Some of these criteria include: persistence and determination, management skills, problem-solving skills, and an unyielding belief that all children can achieve at high academic levels.
Part of the selection process consists of an hour-and-a-half interview where candidates share their interest in becoming principals and write a 15-minute analysis of a case study. About one-half of the individuals interviewed move on to the final phase of the selection process, which includes a full-day interview. During this session, candidates complete written assignments, engage in role-playing exercises, participate in one-on-one interviews with New Leaders staff, and analyze case studies. Throughout the session, evaluators rate candidates using a comprehensive set of rubrics that are aligned with the program's selection criteria. For the 2004 program, 56 candidates were admitted out of an initial pool of 1,100 applicants.
The second pillar of New Leaders consists of training and support, which is generally uniform across program cities, and consists of three years of support, an intensive summer training institute, and a year-long, full-time residency with a mentor principal. The curriculum is closely aligned with the organization's selection criteria and the 12 New Leaders Principal Leadership Competencies, which reflect research on "best practices" from principals who have successfully revamped low-performing urban schools. Some of these competencies include focusing on student outcomes, learning from data, and building trust to facilitate change.
A six-week "Foundations Institute" is held at the Wharton School of Management at the University of Pennsylvania. Candidates attend courses taught by successful principals, national education and leadership experts, and New Leaders staff.
Following the institute, candidates are placed in school districts with mentor principals. During the residency, candidates have direct responsibility for improving academic achievement for students, as well as teacher development and coaching. All candidates attend weekly professional development in their districts and are observed bimonthly by their leadership coaches. These coaches are recruited from a pool of retired principals who have successful track records in urban schools. Coaches also evaluate candidates' progress using formal assessments.
After the residency, candidates commit to spend a minimum of three years as a principal or an assistant principal in the district in which they were initially placed. New Leaders seeks to place candidates in positions with maximum school-based decision-making authority over curriculum, budgeting, and hiring. Schools are also chosen where there is high academic need among the students. New Leaders staff members provide ongoing coaching and mentoring services for successful candidates during their first two years as principals.
Placing and mentoring principals is the third pillar of the program. About 72 percent of the graduates are placed as principals, 23 percent become assistant principals, and the rest secure leadership positions in schools, education organizations, and nonprofits. Each local city team helps to assess the strengths and interests of the New Leaders graduates to help place them in positions where their particular qualities fit best.
Now that the program is about five years old, a national network of graduates, participating schools, mentors, coaches, and community and corporate sponsors has evolved. Understanding the potential for national impact and cross-pollination of ideas, the New Leaders organization hosted the first New Leaders National Summit in May. The purpose of the summit was to build connections and national capacity for education reform and to share best practices around such topics as systemic change, student engagement, and effective teacher professional development. The summit was held in Memphis with FedEx and the Hyde Foundation as lead sponsors.
New Leaders' influence spans across different types of schools. In California's Bay Area, for example, New Leaders partners with the Oakland Unified School District as well as Aspire Public Schools (a charter management organization), and other charters. These different school systems have contracted with New Leaders to conduct leadership training, bringing a high-quality standard for school leadership to the Bay Area that benefits all children attending the area's public schools.
New Leaders has also had a significant impact in transforming entire school districts' approach to school leadership. The program has served as a model for New York City's Leadership Academy, Chicago's LAUNCH (Leadership Academy and Urban Network for Chicago) program, the University of Illinois' redesigned principal training program, and other initiatives across the country.
Early indications suggest that New Leaders may be driving gains in student achievement. During the 2003-2004 academic year, in schools where New Leader principals had been in place for at least two years, students showed a six percent increase in proficiency scores in math, and a four percent increase at or above proficiency levels in language arts. Recent data from New York City indicates that some schools with second-year principals made dramatic gains – including 20 to 25 percent – in reading and language arts. New Leaders is currently in the first year of an external, mulit-year evaluation that will examine the impact of its model.
In January, New Leaders for New Schools was selected as a winner of Fast Company / Monitor Group's Social Capitalist Award for the second consecutive year. Fast Company named New Leaders a "Change Master," rating it the highest of the 25 social enterprises that were recognized. In 2002, the organization was one of the partners in the New York City Department of Education School Leadership grant project funded by the Office of Innovation and Improvement (OII). New Leaders was also highlighted as one of the Innovative Pathways to School Leadership in the U.S. Department of Education's book series, Innovations in Education, from OII.

What's New
From the U.S. Department of Education
The U.S. Department of Education and the White House Initiative on Educational Excellence for Hispanic Americans hosted an event, Pathways to Hispanic Family Learning, at the U.S. Department of Education to engage Hispanic families and communities in helping to close the achievement gap. (June 16 and 17)
At the Indiana High School Summit, U.S. Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings promoted the value of using research data to guide school reform initiatives, announcing, "Data is our best management tool." This assertion comes at a time of year when schools are releasing their Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) reports. The Secretary noted that recent statistics point toward the need for high school reform, and applauded Indiana for its rigorous curricula efforts through its State Scholars partnership. (June 14)
U.S. Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings spoke about promoting the ideals of human rights, tolerance, and learning at the first conference held in the last twenty years for the U.S. National Commission of the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). The Secretary pledged support for UNESCO's Education for All initiative, which includes goals of doubling literacy, eliminating gender achievement gaps, and providing universal access to primary schools by the year 2015. (June 7)
The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) recently released a report Rates of Computer and Internet Use by Children in Nursery School and Students in Kindergarten Through Twelfth Grade: 2003. The report shows that children's computer and Internet use begins early and is becoming more commonplace. (June 5)
From the Office of Innovation and Improvement (OII)
Updated guidance on supplemental educational services (SES) MS Word (977KB), is available online. This guidance clarifies and expands upon the last Supplemental Educational Services Guidance that the U.S. Department of Education released on August 22, 2003. It includes a number of new questions and responds to inquiries the Department has received from State and local officials on issues since issuing the 2003 guidance. (June 13)
According to a new study from the Center for Civic Innovation at the Manhattan Institute, The Effect of Residential Choice on Public High School Graduation, decreasing a school district's size within a school system, often increases the choices that parents have in the overall system that educates their children. Districts within the system are motivated to compete for students by offering higher quality services. (April 2005)
Teacher Quality
The MetLife Foundation and the Committee for Economic Development have released The MetLife Survey of the American Teacher: Transitions and the Role of Supportive Relationships PDF (1.12MB) The survey explores the attitudes and perspectives of teachers, principals, and students regarding the experience of being a new teacher in a school. Survey topics included orientation, challenges, support, and parent involvement. (2005)
Currently, 47 states and Washington, DC offer 538 different alternate route teacher certification programs. Last year, about 35,000 first-year teachers entered their classrooms through alternate teacher training programs. The National Center for Education Information (NCEI) has issued a Profile of Alternate Route Teachers, which, among other subjects, examines the appeal of alternative certification, minority attraction to alternate programs, and teacher retention. (June 13)
Innovations in the News
Closing the Achievement Gap
All 24 school systems in Maryland reported gains on the 2005 Maryland School Assessments, with many African-American and Hispanic students closing achievement gaps in key areas. In math, 64 percent of African-American third grade students scored proficient or better, up from 47 percent in 2003. In reading, 63 percent of Hispanic students scored proficient or better, up from 39 percent in 2003. Results showed much higher gains in the elementary grade levels, alerting state officials and educators to turn their attention to middle schools. [More-The Washington Post] (June 8) [free registration]
Charter Schools
A group of nonprofit organizations and financial institutions has created a $36 million fund to help construct charter schools in low-income neighborhoods in Los Angeles (CA). Two organizations in the partnership, the Low Income Investment Fund and the Local Initiatives Support Corporation, received a federal grant from OII's Credit Enhancement for Charter Schools Facilities Program. The fund's financial partners will receive federal income tax credits for their investments, while the schools will be given flexible, below-market-rate loans. [More-The Los Angeles Times] (June 9) [free registration]
Although the official evaluation of the federal Reading First initiative is more than a year away, many states are reporting anecdotally that they are seeing positive results from their involvement in the program spurred by the No Child Left Behind Act. Schools and districts have reported improved morale, more effective instruction and, in some places, higher test scores. According to an Education Week analysis of state performance reports, the benefits of the initiative include professional development that incorporates research-based "best practices," instructional resources, and continuous support services. [More-Education Week] (June 9) [free registration]
Teacher Quality
A new worldwide chain of for-profit colleges is being started by Best Associates, the Dallas-based merchant bank. One is the American College of Education, which will train student teachers based on an evidence-based program using research on how children learn combined with experience working in schools and applying new research to instruction. The first programs by the American College will take root in suburban Chicago this fall with two to four groups of 20 to 25 student teachers. [More-Inside Higher Ed] (June 14)
The chalkboard dates back to the 1800s and is truly becoming a thing of the past in many schools across the country. Chalkboards are being replaced with interactive whiteboards connected to computers. Students and teachers can display information; search the Internet; watch, create, and edit video; and share assignments on the screens, where they use their fingertips or inkless pens to write and draw. Interactive whiteboards are currently in use in more than 150,000 U.S. classrooms in districts such as New York, San Diego, and Miami-Dade County. [More-Wired] (June 9)

There are about as many ways to build and install Apache as there are reasons to run a web server. As it's our first time out, we'll take the road most traveled and leave the advanced configurations for later columns.
In this column, I'll wander through three methods of Apache installation under Unix:
I find installing Apache from scratch the simplest and most flexible method, but I'll leave you to choose which method you prefer.
(This article does not cover Apache Win 32. If you wish to install Apache under Windows 95, 98, or NT, take a look at Apache.org's excellent step-by-step tutorial at: http://www.apache.org/docs/windows.html.)
You can download Apache from the Apache Software Foundation web site, in source and binary forms. While you're there, you may want to browse the Announcement and CHANGES files.
To install Apache, you'll need:
gunzip Unix utilities
A binary is pre-fab, which means someone else has gone to the trouble of configuring and building the software for you. There are, however, a few caveats I should mention:
Now let's
install a binary. Point your browser at
and download the binary for your operating system. You'll most
likely be presented with a directory containing multiple
versions of Apache in various compressed forms. For the
purposes of this tutorial, I'll assume you've downloaded the
gzip'd form of the latest 1.3.x Apache binary (currently that's
apache_1.3.9-i386-whatever-freebsd3.2.tar.gz on my FreeBSD
box). If there is a ReadMe associated with the file you're
downloading, you may want to review it for any interesting
installation tidbits or possible bugs.
If you can't find a binary for your operating system, choose either the "From Scratch" or "Using an RPM" (if you are running Red Hat Linux) method.
Now let's uncompress the archive using the handy combination of gunzip and tar. You should replace the "
apache_1.3.9-i386-whatever-freebsd3.2.tar.gz" text below with
the name of the gzip'd file you downloaded.
Some of you may be lucky enough to have a version of tar that is capable of
taking care of both tasks.
gunzip < apache_1.3.9-i386-whatever-freebsd3.2.tar.gz | tar xvf -
Either way, you should end up with an
tar xvzf apache_1.3.9-i386-whatever-freebsd3.2.tar.gz
apache_1.3.x directory, with x being the particular sub-version of Apache you downloaded. Move into
the newly created directory.
As of Apache 1.3.11, binary distributions contain an install script;
mine's called
cd apache_1.3.x
install.bindist.sh. If your binary does
not seem to contain such an install script, take a look at the
README.bindist and/or INSTALL.bindist documents for further information;
if these documents don't outline a simple installation
method, you'll probably want to use one of the other
methods I cover in this column.
If you've not already done so, you'll need to become root. Then go ahead and run the install script.
This command should install the various bits of the Apache
distribution into the appropriate locations; the default is usually to
install everything under
/usr/local/apache (confirm this
by consulting your README.bindist and/or INSTALL.bindist documents).
That's it for installing binaries. If you're interested in learning how to install Apache using Red Hat Package Manager or from scratch, read on. Or, if you're just using the binary section of this tutorial, you can skip ahead to Starting Apache.
Getting, Installing, and Running Apache
by Rael Dornfest |
Those of you running the RedHat Linux distribution may want to take advantage of RedHat's RPM ("RedHat Package Manager") system. Almost identical to a binary, an RPM is further customized to play nicely with other RPMs and provide a consistent interface to installing, updating, and removing binaries. I admit I'm not a great fan of packaged binaries. They often entail a loss of flexibility and clarity -- for instance, it's not readily apparent where the contents of some packages will end up. That said, for Linux newcomers or when installing a small standard component, RPMs are simple and reliable.
Bear in mind that an Apache RPM may already be installed on your system depending on how Linux was originally installed on your computer. To find out, at the shell prompt, type:
If you see something like
rpm -qa | grep apache
apache-1.3.9xxx, an
Apache RPM has already been installed and you can skip on to
"Starting Apache".
If you don't have an Apache RPM, you must obtain one. RedHat 6.1 ships with
apache-1.3.9-4.i386.rpm in the
directory on the installation CD. Or, point your Web browser at
or one of the many
mirror sites
and pick yourself up a copy. If you've not already done so, you'll
need to become root. Navigate to the same directory as the .rpm file
you obtained, and then type the following command, substituting the
name of the .rpm you're using for
RPM should grind away, displaying its progress with a primitive #######
progress bar. Barring any errors, you're done.
rpm -ivh apache-1.3.9-4.i386.rpm
If you're interested in learning how to install Apache from scratch, read on. Or, if you're just using the RPM section of this tutorial, you can skip on to Starting Apache.
Getting, Installing, and Running Apache
by Rael Dornfest |
Building Apache from source may seem a daunting proposition to newcomers, but the Apache developers have done a wonderful job of making the task about as simple as could be. Just three more commands than a binary installation and you skip the arduous task of figuring out which binary is the right one for your particular operating system. Let's give it a whirl, shall we?
Point your Web browser at http://www.apache.org/dist and download the gzip'd form of the current version of Apache (1.3.11 at the time of this writing).
Now let's uncompress that archive using gunzip and tar. You should
replace the
apache_1.3.11.tar.gz below with the name of
the gzip'd file you downloaded.
You should end up with an
gunzip < apache_1.3.11.tar.gz | tar xvf -
apache_1.3.x directory, x being
the particular sub-version of Apache you downloaded. Move into the
newly created directory.
Now we'll use the the
cd apache_1.3.x
configure and
commands to (you guessed it) configure, make, and install Apache. If you've
not already done so, now would be the time to become root.
Your screen should look something like:
Unless errors were reported (not warnings, mind you), your Apache
installation is now configured and we can move on. This is where things
get a bit ugly -- not difficult, mind you, only ugly. Make'ing Apache
produces screenfulls of scary-looking output, but don't worry -- as long
as the process doesn't stop suddenly with an error message, all is as
it should be.

I love my kids. I care for them accordingly. What more can I say?
Yep, mama, there will be days like this. The best advice I can give you is to just go with the flow. I learned the hard way that the fewer expectations you have, the less frustrated you will be and you'll be better able to enjoy your baby. Remember that she's still very young, too. As she gets older, she WILL settle in a bit more. (But she'll still give you a run for your money!)

Papers reduce workforceSTAFF REPORT | November 30,2012The Rutland Herald and its sister paper, the Barre-Montpelier Times Argus, laid off four workers this week, a sign the newspaper industry continues to struggle.
Each of the papers laid off a news assistant. The Rutland Herald also laid off an information technology worker and a clerical worker in subscriber services.
Catherine Nelson, general manager of the Mitchell family-owned papers, said Thursday the staff reductions were driven in part by an overdue consolidation of certain job functions and the economy.
Nelson said while the economy is moving in the right direction, the pace of recovery remains "extremely slow."
"We see really kind of encouraging signs about that but we don't believe for a minute that we're going to have an economy that's going to grow significantly and everybody believes that," she said.
A major responsibility of the news assistants at the two papers was to handle obituary notices. But Nelson said that function will be transitioned to front office personnel, which is typical at most papers.
She said the IT position was no longer required because the company now outsources the printing of both papers.
The company lost its press in Barre during the flood of May 2011, resulting in several million dollars in damage.
The Rutland Herald and Times Argus together employ approximately 90 workers.
The papers are owned by the R. John Mitchell family.MORE IN This Just InBARRE TOWN Firefighters faced a collection of adverse conditions as a house on Granitville Road...

Ella Enchanted
by Gail Carson Levine
At birth, Ella of Frell was given the gift of obedience by a fairy. Ella soon realizes that this gift is little better than a curse, for how can she truly be herself if at any time anyone can order her to hop on one foot, or cut off her hand, or betray her kingdom — and she'll have to obey? Spunky Ella does not tamely accept her fate and embarks on a quest to break this curse once and for all.
Ella's quest to break the curse and discover who she really is, is both funny and poignant.

A Milwaukee judge has sentenced one of Gov. Scott Walker's former top aides to six months in jail and three years' probation for doing campaign work on the taxpayers' time.
Kelly Rindfleisch pleaded guilty last month to one felony count of misconduct in office in a deal with prosecutors.
She faced up to three-and-a-half years in prison and $10,000 in fines but prosecutors recommended jail time rather than prison and promised not to seek restitution in exchange for her plea.
Judge David Hansher stayed the sentence pending appeal.
The 44-year-old Rindfleisch served as Walker's deputy chief of staff during his tenure as Milwaukee County executive in 2010.
Prosecutors accused her of working on Republican Brett Davis' lieutenant governor campaign on county time.

Unearth -- Toronto, Ontario -- November 13th, 2011
Headliners: Unearth
Openers: Chimaira, Skeletonwitch, Motlov Solution
Venue: the Opera House
Not so much of a setlist from this show since I don't really know any of Chimaira or Unearths material (I only own Unearths latest album) but I at least wanted to post a review of the show. If anyone has a setlist feel free to add it.
I'm not even really that big a fan of either band but I have a rule that when shows are on weekends I'll go see bands that I'm remotely interested in because you never know. When I saw Machine Head in 2007 it was the first time I'd listened to them in almost ten years and it reinvigorated my enjoyment for that band. Motlov Solution I've never heard of, Skeletonwitch I was interested in, Chimaira I don't like and Unearth I really enjoyed their latest album and wanted to see Buz sherd the intro to Arise the War Cry. Also, when the tour was first announced a few months ago it had Chimaira as the headliner and Unearth as top support. I said to myself at the time "if Unearth was headlining I'd consider going". And when the Toronto show was announced Unearth was listed as the headliner, so there you go.
I got to the venue late and only caught Skeletonwitch's last song and completely had missed Motlov Solution, so forget about them. Chimaria came out and totally underwhelmed me. I saw them opening for Killswitch Engage a few years ago and they were about on par with that performance. I know they played the song Year of the Snake and closed with Resurrection. They played way too long for an opener, close to 75 minutes.
Unearth came out pretty quickly after that and sounded great. The crowd was rather small and the singer was getting a little pissed at the lack of pits and stage diving. I got to see Arise the War Cry and it was awesome. But they only played for less than an hour so I left feeling kinda ripped off. yeah it's my own fault for missing two of the opening bands but for a headliner to play for less than 90 minutes is pretty lame.
The songs I do know they played were:
My Will Be Done
Watch it Burn
Shadows in the Light
Arise the War Cry
Zombie Autopilot
they only played 7-8 other songs, all good but all sounded pretty much the same.
As I said the crowd was pretty small and not too into it, which is bad for the bands because Toronto is usually a hotbed for metal. I had figured that Unearth and Chimaira together would pull in a pretty good crowd but there were way more people for Enslaved the last time I was there and I thought Enslaved were a way smaller draw. If Unearth were to headline in Toronto again I'd say they should play the Mod Club, or even the Annex Wreckroom. But that would be a bad idea, I don't think Chimaira or Unearth are ready to headline yet. They're better off as main-support bands.

This was a co-headlining tour for both Chimaira and Unearth, and they were switching off who played last each night, so Chimaira wasn't an "opening band". Surprised the only played that long, honestly.
And that's pretty foolish to say neither Chimaira not Uneath should be headlining shows. I've seen both of them headline in the past year, and both were absolutely incredible. And you're also doing an extreme disservice to yourself by not listening to Unearth's earlier material, primarily The Oncoming Storm.
I know Unearth also played The Great Dividers, This Lying World, and Giles.
Skeletonwitch playednot in order)
This Horrifying Force (The Desire to Kill)
Reduced to the Failure of Prayer
Choke Upon Betrayal
Crushed Beyond Dust
Repulsive Salvation
Upon Wings of Black
Beyond the Permafrost
Sacrifice for the Slaughtergod
Within My Blood
Great show. Blazed with Mark and Sean from Chimaira for over an hour in their bus afterwards, played MW3 and Skyrim lol. Good time
6/30-Beneath The Massacre
7/5-Warped Tour
7/7-Sublime W/Rome
7/10-Mayhem Fest
8/24-Dying Fetus
This is Chimaria's tour, so that's why they are playing longer. Unearth doesn't really play long sets anyways. Anyways, I am really stoked for this show on Saturday.

"An Endless Game Of Repeated Summers"
Last month I posted a video about one of the great father-son duos at Phantasy Camp, Rocky and Chris Wright.
Several days ago, Chris contacted me and sent along a couple of his own videos. He was very gracious to let me share them on this website.
The first was a segment from "Behind The Pinstripes" back in April, hosted by Scott Palmer, public affairs director for the Phillies, and one of the many Phantasy Camp gurus. The show did a piece on the Wright's Camp experience together in Clearwater last January.
The other was a very nice photo compilation of both he and his father (complete with a soundtrack supplied by a band who is fronted by one of my favorite personalities in rock).
Needless to say, Chris's videos and his wonderful messages were quite timely…
This week marks the second anniversary of my dad's passing (as well as the 21st for my mother).
"…for baseball is continuous, like nothing else among American things, an endless game of repeated summers, joining the long generations of all fathers and all sons."

UW Bothell will have a late start today (Friday, Dec. 9). All activities and classes before 10 a.m. are cancelled.
After almost 5 years in the US Navy, I returned to the Bothell area to attend the University of Washington, Bothell's Master of Arts in Policy Studies Program. With the support of the Student-Veteran Association (SVA) and UWB's great Veterans Services Department, I felt like I had the institutional and peer support I needed to successfully complete any program of study. At one point the university even went above and beyond the call of duty to get me a merit scholarship when my GI Bill benefits would not cover fees associated with one of my classes. Through the UWB I got a great internship doing education research and really fell in love with K-8 education. I came back to UWB to get my teaching certification and I plan on using the connections I've made here at UWB and the proven acumen of the Career Services Center to get a great job as a public school teacher. The UWB has been a very supportive environment for me as a student veteran and I am very proud to call myself an alumni. I would recommend this campus to any veteran and I would strongly recommend that incoming student-veterans take advantage of on-campus clubs like the SVA (and others through orgsync.com) and all the great services offered by the Career Services Center at UWB.

It's been tough without John, I'm glad he's back.
OK, the realist in me knows that I'll never see another "Drive" or watch my team's quarterback sacrifice his body by taking a "helicopter hit" in the Super Bowl, but having John Elway back in a leadership role (vice president in charge of football operations) on our beloved team gives us Bronco fans hope.
A five-year drought in playoff appearances was capped off with a 4-12 season this year. That hurts for fans who watched Elway keep us on the edge of greatness throughout his whole career with 10 playoff appearances including three Super Bowl losses before he capped his glory in Denver with back-to-back championships.
Elway knew his body was breaking down and unlike some other Super Bowl hero quarterbacks, got out while the getting was good. We all understood, but we've been hurting since he left. With Elway on the field we somehow knew Mile High Magic was possible.
Yeah, maybe I'm putting a little too much faith in one man, after all he's not Roger Staubach or something. He's mortal and I should know.
I took a lot of heat and ribbing in Elway's early years with the Broncos. My cousin who grew up in Pullman, Wash., where Elway lived while his dad Jack was at Washington State, was unimpressed and let me know. He had competed with Elway on the football field in the local Punt, Pass and Kick competition, and I understand placed higher.
It didn't matter because I liked the way he competed. I followed the Broncos to some degree before Elway arrived but with him at quarterback I became a fan. I became a fan even before I ever arrived in Colorado. Maybe I even moved there to be closer to Elway and the Broncos.
I saw him play in person several times and ran into him once in a hotel bar in Denver. My wife never forgave me for not getting his autograph.
This season was tough and to be honest I could have easily gone back to being a Cowboy fan during the height of the Josh McDaniel meltdown. I could have, except the Cowboys were nearly as bad as the Broncos. As an certified Cowboy fan teaser I can only imagine the indecision I would be experiencing right now if a healthy Tony Romo was leading the Cowboys into the playoffs.
Nope, I think Jason Garrett is a great choice for a new Cowboy head coach but Elway is the ultimate in leadership.
My team needs to rid itself of the distractions that have made more headlines the last few years than our playoff chances. The focus needs to be on football and winning games.
We're backed up on our on 5-yard-line but there's hope because we've just snapped the ball to our hero.
Think I've gone a little off the deep end here? You're probably right. But hey it beats an off-season debate over whether or not Brett Favre is coming back next year.
