North Central College will host a breakfast, themed "Telling our Stories," on Nov. 12 when teaching colleagues can share their stories and experiences in education.
Special guest author/illustrator and teacher Lisa Wilde will share her experiences as well and preview her graphic memoir "Yo, Miss."
North Central's education alumni and current students and faculty who are interested in education are invited to attend the breakfast, which begins at 10 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 12, in the College's Heininger Auditorium at the Larrance Academic Center, 309 School St. RSVP is required; contact Cindy Mak at firstname.lastname@example.com or 630-637-5747. This event is taking place during North Central's Sesquicentennial Homecoming Celebration.
Wilde teaches at John V. Lindsay Wildcat Academy Charter School in New York City. Wildcat Academy is a second-chance public charter high school that serves students who have dropped out, been kicked out or flunked out of other schools. In many ways, the school's population epitomizes the problems facing public education today.
Wilde's book "Yo, Miss" is based on her experiences teaching at Wildcat and reveals real-life classroom experiences. It follows eight students (fictionalized to protect their identities) and the Miss over the course of a school year.
There's Will, who has to attend school as part of his probation; Jasmine, who's dyslexic, homeless and at 20, about to age out; Kyer, who's prone to violent outbursts after her almost fatal accident; and Natalie, who's pregnant and due on the last day of her senior year. The question is: who will graduate?
"My aim in this book," says Wilde, "is to capture some of the contradictions, messiness, beauty and truth that occur daily in the trenches of education."
Wilde was born in Wauwatosa, Wis., and is a sister of North Central College President Harold R. Wilde. After moving to New York to pursue a career in broadcasting with the BBC, she began taking art classes in the evenings and eventually made the career shift from broadcasting to creating art and teaching. Wilde also has had artwork exhibited in New York City and in private collections in the United States, Italy and South America.
North Central College has a longstanding history of educating the educators throughout the Midwest. Students gain hands-on experience in some of Illinois' finest school districts before they graduate.

A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to 2011
And no, silly, this has nothing to do with Estonia joining the Eurozone, though I do admit, that Eurozone has a lot more going for it than just a snazzy name now that Estonia is in the mix! Look out European Union, 'cuz y'all haven't seen oil shale til you've seen Estonia!
No, what I actually want to tell you about is something I am still rather reluctant to report: I've… I've been watching… basketball.
I know, I know, I know… I gave up on basketball back before Charles Barkley ate Jabba the Hutt and I never, EVER, had any regrets. It's an individual sport. A natural obsession for those with ADHD. An abomination of the thinking man's game.
Yes, I still believe all of the above is true… but, it was a long, arduous baseball offseason for me and I got antsy and I was just begging for something — anything! — to get me to Spring Training and that's when I saw…
I saw something… something special… something… MAGICAL.
His name is Derrick Rose.
Now I'm not going to go all John Kerry and flip-flop on y'all… but I am going to admit that I am willing to work with this here NBA thing a little bit longer. Because while the Kobe Bryants and LeBron James and Chris Boshes of the world may leave a sour taste in the mouth of public opinion, Derrick Rose is not just a budding superstar beginning to dominate the entire league, but he is also (as far as I can tell) a genuinely nice guy.
People like him. He's cool. He's just a kid having fun.
And I was at a game earlier this season where he did this:
I saw that and I just knew. I just knew, this kid is gonna kill the competition. And if you haven't been paying attention to the NBA this year (again, I don't blame if you haven't), he is doing just that. In fact, I liken his domination to that of Albert Pujols: when I watch him play, I feel like I am watching one of the greatest who ever lived.
Soon, real baseball games will begin and my full attention will be focused on the boys of summer; but I can honestly say, for the first time since the Clinton administration, I will definitely be checking in on the Bulls' playoff progress.
Don't hate me. 'Cuz I'm right.
PS, If you want to see three minutes and forty-four seconds more of Derrick Rose magic, check out this vid!
10 Comments
Is OK, I went to two Laker games during this offseason. As long as our Boys of Summer take priority once the baseball season starts. But I'll check out your boy here.
Emma — Check him out! He might not be on Kobe's level yet, but he WILL BE!
I'm a Bulls fan, but haven't watched them much since Jordan left. To be honest, the NBA hasn't been the same for me since MJ left for good. I like Rose and think he's a good player, but the NBA doesn't hold my interest nearly as much as it used to. I prefer college hoops and baseball. Good post though!
It's okay. I'm sure Albert will understand. You're just whetting your appetite with basketball before you dine at home with baseball, right?
Ron — I'm tellin' ya, D Rose is the best thing to happen to the Chi SINCE M.J. Took me a long time to care too… believe me.
Kristen — Hehehe. That's one way of lookin' at it… just don't let AP know😉
Jeff, cheating on baseball that way! For shame. But I must admit that I, too, occasionally watched other sports this offseason. Not much basketball, the Sixers were pretty sucky, but some Flyers hockey if the hubby or son had it on. Though I still have trouble seeing the puck, even in HD on the 60″ screen.
Rants, Raves, and Random Thoughts
Sue — I can't see the puck either. Even at the games. I just drink beer though and all is forgotten.
While you're into basketball, you might as well check out college hoops. Selection Sunday's coming up, and I must admit that I love March Madness almost as much as I love the MLB playoffs…I said ALMOST.
Glad I'm not the only cheatin' sumbitch. Not only have I been steppin' out on my beloved soul mate, baseball, but I've been sneaking around on my NHL mistress too, watching wayyy too many Mavs games this season. In the process of getting re-acquainted with the NBA it's been impossible not to notice your boy D-Rose…just give him the MVP already, he's bad a$s!
Catherine — March Madness is too confusing for me… too many teams, but I can handle the Bulls for now.
Jonestein — How dare you! LOL. D-Rose could own those Mavs yo!

Jones, Grant Lead Mammoth by Roughnecks
from Press Release
Adam Jones had seven goals and John Grant Jr. scored an unbelievable overtime winner as the Colorado Mammoth (2-5) defeated the Calgary Roughnecks (2-3) by a score of 14-13 in front of a crowd of 9,121 at the Scotiabank Saddledome on Saturday night.
Last weekend, the Mammoth let the Vancouver Stealth sneak away with an OT win, but tonight, it was the complete opposite for a deserving Colorado team.
"Everybody outside of our room has put us down and thought we're dead," said Mammoth head coach Bob Hamley. "I'm happy for our players. They battled and deserved the win. I thought we had a little more energy, I thought the ball moved really well with our defense and offense. Dillon Ward was really good tonight, and that's what we need… good goaltending."
The first quarter was back and forth with a few tempers flaring. The Roughnecks had goals from Daryl Veltman (1+1), and Dan McRae (2+0). The Mammoth answered with goals from Athan Iannucci (1+0), Adam Jones (7+1), and Jackson Decker (1+1) to take a 3-2 lead after 1.
"Tonight, we came out a little looser than we have been," said Adam Jones, who now leads the league in points (37), and goals (23). "Our defense played awesome, and our goaltending was awesome."
The most entertaining portion of the first, could have come at the 4:50 mark, when Greg Harnett and Sean Pollock dropped the gloves. However, neither player seemed to get the better end of the fight. Not just that, but brother's Geoff and Bob Snider nearly did the same right as the first quarter wrapped up.
"We were just competing," said Geoff Snider, who picked up nine loose balls and four penalty minues in the loss. "I'm sure mom was freaking out a little bit, but it's just emotions spilling over and a couple of guys who are passionate."
Colorado came into the second quarter on fire, up by 3 goals on three separate occasions. However, the Necks notched a couple late goals to finish off the first half down 8-7. The Riggers had goals from Dane Dobbie (2+6), Shawn Evans (2+3) including a shorthanded marker, and Curtis Dickson (2+1) in the first half. At the other end, John Grant Jr. (3+2) and Dan Ball (1+1) pitched in for Colorado. The bad blood continued, with both teams amounting to 32 penalty minutes through the first half.
The third quarter saw much of the same. Back and forth action entertained the crowd, setting up for an exciting fourth quarter tied 11-11.
Jones broke the tie with 12:34 to go. His goal was originally waved off from a crease violation, but head coach Bob Hamley was quick to throw out the challenge flag, resulting in a good goal. That goal was also Jones' seventh of the night.
"I thought it was a good goal, and the reply showed it was a good goal," added Hamley. "Jones never stepped in the crease. He's been good for us this year, and he's a big time player when there are big games."
"Hopefully there are more nights like this," said Jones, on his personal record setting night. "But the win comes first. The seven goals is just the icing on the cake."
The last time any player scored that many against Calgary was in 2007, when Jeff Zywicki posted a similar number to help the Stealth to a 17-16 overtime win.
Both teams saw 2 goals aside in the final quarter, setting up for an overtime thriller at the Dome tied 13-13.
"We play to win, and we stayed positive," added Hamley on his team heading into OT. "Our leadership group has been awesome, and did a good job pumping up our guys."
John Grant Jr. scored an amazing behind-the-back goal off a one-handed catch 2:11 into overtime, lifting the Mammoth to their second win of the season.
The loss comes at a bad time for the Roughnecks, who now drop to just 2-3 on the season. Losing to a team well below .500 doesn't sit well with the players or the coaching staff, especially when it happens in front of their home crowd. The 'Necks lead the game for a combined total of 6:53, and only in the first quarter.
"Every time that you're trailing, you've got to stick your neck out and take a risk," said Roughnecks head coach Curt Malawsky. "That's what happened to us. We got the first one, and then it was kind of like 'alright we're in a good spot', and then we slide back down."
Dan MacRae's two-goal performance were the first time's he hit the twine this season. The Roughnecks went 2-3 on the powerplay, while the Mammoth went 1-9. Despite a good penalty kill for the 'Necks, it didn't help being shorthanded for that amount of time.
"It doesn't mean it didn't hurt us, just having those 4 guys out there for that amount of time," said MacRae. "The longer the game goes on, and into an overtime situation, obviously those guys are lagging a lot of minutes."
'Necks goaltender Mike Poulin stopped 31 of 45 shots, while Dillon Ward made 35 saves on 48 shots for the Mammoth.
Calgary will get the next weekend off, while Colorado will take on the Minnesota Swarm next Saturday at home.
Three Stars of the Game as selected by the media:
1) Adam Jones
2) Dane Dobbie
3) Dan MacRae

What lies just beneath the surface of a painting? How do art elements shape composition? Why do artists do what they do?

After winding its way through the narrow streets of East London, a taxi drops us at the metal doorway of a rather nondescript brick building with the words Sunbury House in large letters on the façade. We've arrived at Yinka Shonibare's studio to interview the artist and create a film to promote his upcoming exhibition, Yinka Shonibare MBE: Magic Ladders.

One of the challenges of writing about the United Nations in the 21st century is the knee-jerk response of critics who have lost sight of the mission of the UN in an environment of politicized globalism. What's typically missing in the criticism is the humanity in that mission…the human-ness.
Few embraced that humanity like the late U.S. Senator and candidate for President of the United States, George McGovern. McGovern was an outspoken and fearless champion for the bedrock issues of peace and human dignity and ending hunger at the heart of the UN.
This Sunday, the Dane County Chapter of the United Nations Association will honor the memory of George McGovern at a special luncheon at Monona Terrace. Former Congressman David Obey is the keynote speaker. The Dane County chapter of the organization is a good one. And this should be a good event. We thought some of you might like to know about it.

Nearly 80 players took part in the annual Bobcat football camp earlier this week, a turnout that excites second-year coach John Livas.
"Our camp went great," Livas said about its success. "I was very proud of our kids ... getting up early in the morning and committing to our football program for three days."
The S-T program is just a handful of years removed from a camp that featured fewer than a dozen players. Livas said having 76 this year shows how things are changing under his watch.
"It means a lot to the program. I kind of feel like football hasn't been important here for the last few years," he said. "There's been some changes, I think the lack of continuity and stability in the program. That's something we're just trying to bring back.
"We're trying to build pride in our program."
Winning programs are built on a foundation of younger players' want-to, and there was plenty of want-to at Livas' camp.
"The numbers themselves show the commitment from our kids," he said. "I was real pleased with our seventh, eighth and ninth graders ... because that was the bulk of our camp. We had 20-plus kids in each of those grades show up.
"As we told the kids, we are going to be ahead of the game and be ready to go by the time football season comes around for those kids."

Wis. Assembly reps plan to tour mine site
A dozen members of the state Assembly plan to tour a potential mine site in far northwestern Wisconsin.
Republicans are pushing a bill to streamline state mining regulations in hopes of persuading Gogebic Taconite to dig a huge open-pit iron mine along the border between Ashland and Iron counties.
Rep. Mary Czaja, a freshman Republican from Irma, is organizing a tour of the site for Friday morning. The site is outside Czaja's district, but aide Emily Loe says Czaja toured the site several weeks ago, found the visit productive and thought other legislators would benefit from seeing the area.
Loe says six Republicans and six Democrats have agreed to the visit. She says the visit is informal and the legislators will pay their own way.

What is in this article?:
- RR alfalfa's advantages far outweigh disadvantages
- Recipe for glyphosate resistance
- Less herbicide with GMO alfalfa
- The legal labyrinth took four years to maneuver, but RR alfalfa is back on the market.
- Herbicide-resistant varieties are not likely to be heavily planted this spring. Fall should be the time when heaviest plantings occur.
- The same radical group that halted sales four years ago has notified USDA it will sue the department for approving RR alfalfa without proper consultation with the Fish and Wildlife Service.
University of California, Davis Extension forage specialist Dan Putnam and UC farm advisors had to brush the dust off UC Division of Agricultural and Natural Resources publication No. 8153 before they could distribute research information about one of the newest technologies in agriculture.
"Roundup Ready Alfalfa: An Emerging Technology" is the title of 8153, published in 2004. That emergence was put on hold almost four years ago when a radical group convinced a San Francisco federal judge to stop the sale of Roundup Ready alfalfa. The so called watchdog group claimed the U.S. Department of Agriculture must conduct an environmental impact statement. USDA did that, and along the way the Supreme Court overruled the San Francisco judge who halted the sale of the biotech forage seed.
The legal labyrinth took four years to maneuver, but RR alfalfa is back on the market.
Putnam and Western hay market analyst Seth Hoyt do not expect herbicide-resistant varieties to be heavily planted this spring because spring is not the ideal time to plant alfalfa in California and Arizona. Fall is better because of the heavy weed pressure associated with spring planting.
However, UC forage specialists say if growers wanted to plant alfalfa in the spring, RR alfalfa would be a good choice, since spring weeds could be more easily be eliminated with glyphosate-resistant alfalfa rather than using non-Roundup herbicides in conventional alfalfa varieties.
Seed companies are advertising their RR varieties. However, the same radical group that halted sales four years ago has notified USDA it will sue the department for approving RR alfalfa without proper consultation with the Fish and Wildlife Service as required by the Endangered Species Act. One report indicated the Center for Food Safety was going to go back with its second nuisance lawsuit on the same issue to the same San Francisco federal judge who stopped RR alfalfa seed sales the first time. It is the same judge deemed to be in error by a 7-1 Supreme Court vote.
However, for now, growers can buy and plant RR alfalfa.
Putnam told an audience of farmers and dairymen at a hay and forage seminar at World Ag Expo that the nonrelated sale of RR alfalfa sends a message from government to the industry that it must exercise stewardship to head off weed resistance and prevent genetically modified alfalfa seed and forage contamination into non-GM markets and crops.
Putnam said this new technology provides growers with an unprecedented broad spectrum weed control package that is highly flexible, very environmentally safe and uses an inexpensive herbicide.

Biking in … other cities?
I'm finally digging myself out of the back log of work from my ridiculously busy October. Â As evidence, here's a couple of articles I bookmarked from late-September that are somewhat less than relevant today, in terms of being breaking news. Â Good news, to be sure, but no longer front page, above the fold.
As part of the super-busy October (and November) I have done a bit of traveling. Â The trips were around 50-50 work/fun and most of them involved two or three nights in a major American city. Â And so today I'm going to share some pictures and a few comments about the cyclists, bicycles, and bicycle facilities I saw in these three cities. Â First stop: Chicago.
I was in Chicago in mid-October for a conference, followed immediately by a guy's weekend. Â It was a really great trip; I never knew how much I loved Chicago-style pizza. Â I was really impressed with how active the city felt. Â At all hours of the day and night, people were on the streets, going to restaurants, bars, shops, and so on. Â Granted, we were in the part of downtown Chicago nearest Michigan Avenue, but still. Â It was really exciting.
I also saw numerous cyclists of all varieties. Â I didn't take too many pictures of them – too busy eating pizza I guess – but I did run across this website about Chicago's cycling infrastructure. Â The bravery of the cyclists really impressed me. Â Biking along with traffic on a super-busy street didn't seem to faze them, even without bike lanes. Â I did snap this picture, though.
Lovely fixie.
And this one as well.
Here's a few more shots from Chicago.
On top of the world at the John Hancock Center.
Drinks on top of the world are even better.
Next stop was Washington, D.C., where I attended yet another conference a couple of weeks ago. Â I stayed near the Adams-Morgan neighborhood, which I thoroughly loved. Â D.C. also has quite an extensive cycling infrastructure, including a city-wide bike rental program. Â Here's a few shots of what I saw there.
My hotel.
Bike share! Â Not the prettiest bikes you've ever seen, but I saw lots people riding them. Â Here's a map of the system.
And here's a couple of additional shots I took.
Bike parking near a Metro station.
After leaving D.C. I headed to Baltimore where my friend Jason lives. Â It was my second time there, other than the hours I spent watching "The Wire." Â Upon arriving at Jason's house, I saw this on his kitchen window sill.
Yes, a penny-farthing pizza cutter. Â Le swoon. Â We soon left for dinner, and I saw these amazing bike racks outside the restaurant.
Maybe the coolest ever. Â I wonder what Cort would say?
I didn't get to see much of Baltimore's biking infrastructure as I was only there for one day. Â Fortunately, on the flight home I got a free upgrade to first class!
A free gin and tonic always makes flying and grading papers much more fun.
That's all for now. Â Look for a post soon about the beginning of my winter cycling adventures.

Ok, now my daughter says she wants "hot nan nies" ... I having been talking up weaning my daughter for her 2cd birthday that is coming up in a few weeks. I explained to her that she was getting to be a big girl now and that there was going to be a baby that will need to do that nan nies now, because the family I nanny for had a baby last week and she agreed several times but will not cut back the nursing on the meantime(so I know it is all talk on both of out parts)..so I put hot chili oil on my nipples to deter her, but she likes it!
I can't imagine not nursing anymore I and am sad to see my baby grow up but I really feel like she needs a little push in this direction to get the show on the road. Does anyone have any suggestions? I can't sit for a second without her trying to lift my shirt to nurse. I did suggest that we go to Build a Bear and make a "special Nan Nie bear" for our special weaning day on her birthday. But I KNOW THIS IS NOT GOING TO BE THE GRAND FINALE nor will by breasts handle the abrupt transition.

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
No restrictions for either team. Just wondering if there is a team capable of defeating the Uchiha combo. If my team seems insufficent, post your own, please.
Kabuto clap his hands and summons an army to beat them.
With Edo, Kabuto's team.
Without Edo, Edo Madara and Obito win.
With Edo tensei team 1 mid diff without team 2 high diff
I believe Team 1 takes this.
If Kabuto's Edo Tensei is allowed, they'll win easily, there's no need to explain why.
Without Edo Tensei, it could go either way. If Nagato and Itachi are healthy, (legs and disease healed, and chakra rod damage removed) I think they can pull it off.

Time to re-think nuclearNovember 29,2013If someone had suggested a decade ago that natural gas and not coal or nuclear power would become the dominant fuel for electricity production in New England, the idea would have been dismissed as absurd.
Back in 2000, there was a balanced mix of energy sources coal, natural gas, nuclear power and hydro. But with a surge in the production of natural gas from a combination of hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling in shale, an abundance of low-cost gas is now available for electricity production. In some places, this gas is a cheaper source of electricity than coal or even nuclear power, as was seen in the decision earlier this year to prematurely close Vermont Yankee in late 2014.
Electricity companies have mixed emotions about natural gas, and for good reason. Although natural gas is clean burning, it has a history of price volatility, sudden swings in price that are in sharp contrast to coal and nuclear power. People in California and Texas, two states that now rely on natural gas for more than half of their power, havent forgotten the huge spike in electricity prices a few years ago after the cost of gas spiraled upward and there wasnt enough power from alternative sources to replace it.
Solar and wind power were of limited use. Today they supply such a small share of electricity in most parts of the country that it will be a long time before renewable sources can make a meaningful difference.
In New England, electricity production from gas plants has reached 50 percent of power use, three times what it had been in 2000. Earlier this year, we narrowly avoided serious electric-power reliability problems after a scarcity of gas-pipeline capacity in the Northeast led to a bottleneck in gas supply. New Englands independent system operator (ISO-NE), which manages the regions electricity grid, said the greatest risk to New Englands energy security is its increasingly heavy reliance on natural gas for electricity generation.
Nationally, since 1995, roughly 75 percent all new electricity generating capacity built has been gas-fired almost 350,000 megawatts. Coal and nuclear power accounted for just 6 percent of the total. And over the next decade another 50,000 megawatts of gas-fired capacity possibly as much as 100,000 megawatts will be added.
Natural gas prices are already increasing. So far this year, the average price of natural gas delivered to electricity generators is 44 percent higher than in the first six months of 2012. As utilities use more gas for electricity generation, as more gas is used in industry and transportation, as exports of LNG ramp up, gas prices will surely rise.
Its clearly time for state governments in New England to recognize the urgency, and to set our region on a clear strategy of maintaining a balanced mix of energy sources, along with improvements in efficiency, while holding the line on the amount of natural gas used for electricity generation.
Heres why: With more and more coal units likely to close under increasing environmental pressure, we cant afford to allow zero-carbon nuclear power to languish. Anyone concerned about climate change ought to recognize that natural gas, though cleaner than coal, has its own environmental problems. Natural gas plants account for a quarter of the carbon emissions from electricity production. By contrast, nuclear plants are carbon-free.
In most cases, the production cost of electricity from operating nuclear plants is competitive with electricity from natural gas plants, although large new nuclear plants are more expensive. But the higher cost is deceptive. Large nuclear plants cost more to build than comparable gas plants because they are required to build and maintain costly systems to shield their radioactivity from the environment. If gas plants were similarly required to control emissions of carbon dioxide and other pollutants they generate, they would cost significantly more than nuclear plants do. But markets in states where electricity is unregulated like those in New England dont take this disparity into account.
The fact is nuclear power contributes to the fuel and technology diversity that is one of the bedrock characteristics of a safe and reliable electric sector. It helps to maintain grid stability. And it is vitally important in strengthening regional and state economies through creation of large numbers of well-paying jobs and providing revenue for government at all levels. A recently-completed study done for the Nuclear Energy Institute has determined that Seabrook provides an annual impact of nearly $1 billion to the New Hampshire and Massachusetts economies.
High priority should go to renewing the operating licenses of the Seabrook and Pilgrim plants, which supply base-load power around the clock. And to meet the growing need for carbon-free energy, policymakers in New England should encourage electricity producers to participate in the Department of Energys cost-sharing program aimed at bringing a new generation of small modular reactors nearer reality. These factory-built reactors are under 300 megawatts and can be added at a competitive cost per unit of output one module at a time as the need for more electricity arises. If the promise of these new reactors is fulfilled, they will reduce carbon emissions and spur economic growth.

Seagate Technology will demonstrate a variety of technologies at the SCSI trade association (STA) technology showcase this week aimed at improving the performance of servers, datacenters and cloud computing applications, including the first public demonstration of solid-state drives with Serial Attached SCSI 12Gb/s interface. Seagate's rival Hitachi GST will also demo its SSDs with SAS-12Gb/s interface at the same event.
Seagate will show its next-gen enterprise solid-state drives working with the new 12Gb/s SAS standard at the showcase. The new standard doubles the data throughput of industry-standard drives equipped with the enhanced SAS interface, enabling much faster server and storage solutions. The enhanced standard also fully maintains the rich data integrity, scalability, serviceability, and hot swappable protocol feature set that enterprises depend on to safeguard critical data, minimize costly downtime, and ensure infrastructures easily keep up with growing data storage demands.
Faster data throughput paves the way for drives and storage systems that can deliver larger amounts of data more rapidly to servers and processors. This provides improved overall performance and efficiency for cloud services and other enterprise applications throughout all tiers of data storage.
While Seagate will first demonstrate the technology on its solid-state drives to optimize the high performance benefits of SSDs, the 12Gb/s SAS standard is also compatible with high-performance and high-capacity hard disk drives. These can be seamlessly integrated within existing infrastructures using 6Gb/s SAS because the new faster SAS standard is backwards compatible with all previous generations of SAS speeds. Seagate's implementation of 12Gb/s SAS is fully compatible with controllers and other technologies from PMC-Sierra and LSI, two of the leading host bus adapter and expander vendors.
The 12Gb/s SAS standard is currently stable and expected to be finalized by the end of the year. Products based on the 12Gb/s standard will start to hit in the market in 2013 with general availability in the second half of the year.

11-year-old describes scary scenario near Fort Frye
Beverly police were continuing to look Friday for a man who tried to abduct an 11-year-old girl Thursday behind Fort Frye High School.
The child and another 11-year-old girl were playing hide and seek before cheerleading practice about 5:15 p.m., said Detective Ted Offenberger of the Beverly Police Department.
"One girl ran off to hide and she ran into the guy down by the river," said Offenberger.
The man spotted the girl and commanded her to come with him, said Beverly Police Chief Mark Sams.
"According to the victim, she took off running. He ran after her and grabbed her by the hoodie," said Sams.
The man, a white male in his 20s or 30s, began dragging the girl in the direction of the river, police said. He was dressed in camouflage and carrying a gun.
"At some point, he let go and she took off running," said Sams. "We don't have any idea which way he went because she didn't look back."
The second girl had taken off running toward Fort Frye High School to get help. By the time she got to the school, the victim had escaped and was running toward the school as well.
The victim described him as between 5'10" to 6′ tall with a skinny build, said Offenberger. He had light facial hair with a partial goatee, said Sams.
He was wearing an orange and camouflage hat, camo pants, a camo jacket and an orange shirt, said Sams. The victim said the man was carrying a long rifle with a camouflage stock, he said.
The Beverly Police Department, with the help of the Washington County Sheriff's Office, spent Thursday evening knocking on doors and scanning the area, but were unable to locate the man.
They are still looking for clues as to the assailant's identity or whereabouts Friday, said Sams.
Security footage from Fort Frye High School and Beverly-Center Elementary will be reviewed, said Sams. However, he noted that there is no surveillance equipment that would cover the area where the event took place.
Fort Frye Board of Education member Charlie Schilling, who has two children who attend Beverly-Center, said he is confident in the security measures the school has in place.
"In the schools we are taking precautions with key card entry systems. We have cameras in the building," he said.
Because the athletic area behind the high school is open to the public, there is little the school can do to restrict public access, said Schilling.
It is also school policy that children who are on school grounds outside of school hours are supervised by an adult, he said.
"I think everyone needs to understand that on school grounds after school hours there may not be adults," said Fort Frye Superintendent Tom Gibbs. "We don't have staff there 24/7 monitoring."
Beverly-Center staff took extra security precautions Friday, said Principal Megan Miller.
"The Beverly Police Department did have a presence throughout the day," she said.
Extra teachers monitored recess, Miller added.
"We asked that they made sure to monitor recess from the perimeter," said Gibbs. "Teachers monitoring recess have a tendency to be close to the building and the kids are out there playing…we wanted them to re-position and be along the perimeter."
In addition, the school discontinued crossing guard posts which are normally fulfilled by trained sixth graders until they have more information about Thursday's event, said Miller.
Parents should be alert, but not worried, said Offenberger.
"I don't believe this guy is a predator looking for kids. I think the kid ran into the wrong place at the wrong time," he said.
The police department did receive leads on Friday that they are following up on, he added.
Anyone with information relating to the case should call the sheriff's office at 376-7070.

Salaries sizzle as competition heats up for compliance staff
A surge in demand for compliance staff from asset managers has led to a talent war with banks and insurers and an upward spiral in salaries.
Asset managers' hiring spree has been driven by a slew of regulations hitting the sector. Among the regulations fuelling demand is the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive, which comes into full force in the UK on July 22 and links the number of compliance staff to assets under management.
Andrew Formica, chief executive officer at Henderson Global Investors, said: "The cost of regulation and compliance is going through the roof and the supply of quality and talented individuals in that space is out of kilter with the demand. The highest wage inflation that we have is in the assurance functions."
Figures from recruitment firm Robert Walters, released last month showed the number of advertised jobs in a risk function increased by more than 16% for the first quarter of 2014 compared with a year earlier.
Demand for compliance staff is hiking up salaries in the sector, according to recruitment consultant McGregor Boyall.
Andrew Adams, head of compliance, audit and operations at the company, said banks, insurers and fund firms have been engaged in numerous "remediation projects" to repair reputations and enhance their risk, compliance and audit functions.
He said: "Some firms are getting 50 to 60 people in at a time. From this, you have inflated rates. Some of these people have 12-18 months' experience."
He added: "There are more jobs on the market. We are seeing a major upturn. Salaries year on year are up by between 11% and 14%. There is a war on talent out there again. It feels like the late 90s and early 2000s and I think it is going to continue."
In the past eight weeks, Aviva, Axa Investment Managers, Barclays, Barings, EY, Investec, Jupiter, Pictet, Pioneer, Quilter Cheviot, RBS, TIAA, UBS and WAY Investment Managers have all appointed senior risk and compliance staff.
Robert Higginbotham, head of global investment services at asset manager T Rowe Price, said: "I think compliance has raised the minimum economic level of assets under management for running a fund management business from £1 billion to between £3 billion and £5 billion."
The recruitment war is not limited to senior compliance staff. For junior roles, agencies are carrying advertisements for staff from other areas of finance who would be willing to retrain in order to meet demands.
One Asian bank seeking compliance staff in London last week was offering a position as "Compliance Guideline Monitoring Associate" saying it would pay up to £65,000, stating: "Some compliance experience is preferred, although candidates from other areas with an exposure to, and interest in, compliance are welcomed."
Huw Jones, director of governance (Emea) for executive search firm Leathwaite, said: "Asset managers have typically been behind the banks when it comes to growing their compliance teams, but this is changing."
He added: "Regulation has been part of this but also investors expect the managers investing their money to be fully compliant and not exposed to a regulatory fine."

The last television show to regularly shoot in Broward County was "Caribe" starring Stacy Keach in 1975. The last television comedy shot in South Florida was "The Jackie Gleason Show" in the mid-sixties. That all may change soon.
On Tuesday, July 20, a video crew was shooting a pilot for a situation comedy at the Poverello Center Thrift Store and Java Boys.
The "production title" for the show is "Bummed Out."
"It's about two executives who lost their jobs in today's economy," said Rose Warner, co-producer and director of "Bummed Out". "They tried the freelancing and unemployment routes when they realized that bums on the street are making more then they were. So they turned to being bums." The other co-producer is Alan Darnay who also stars in the show.
The show will be based in Broward County using an all local cast and crew. Warner used to live in this area and knew how much character the area has. She also recognized that so many movies and television shows are shot in South Beach meanwhile, Broward County is virtually an untapped location. She was already familiar with Poverello but found Java Boys when scouting locations and saw that a many people were always patronizing the coffee shop. "The production team came in and asked if they could shoot a scene in the store," said Nicki Rose, owner of Java Boys. "Then they asked me to be in the scene — which I hesitantly accepted."
As regular customers showed up at Java Boys while the crew was setting up the lights, camera and microphones, they were asked if they would like to be extras for the shoot. Many of the regular Java Boys customers signed releases and are part of the scene.
"I'm very excited," said Karlos Lofton, a regular customer of Java Boys-turned- TV-star, "Wilton Manors needs this."
Realtor Robert Cieslak, another Java Boys customer chosen to be an extra said, "This is great and it would be amazing for the community [if the show succeeds]."
The Florida Film Commission took away the incentives for shooting in South Florida which was a multi-billion dollar business. Many shoots planned for South Florida were cancelled. When the legislature was shown a study that for every dollar spent on film production, $7 is returned to the community's economy in goods and services, State representatives voted fund the film industry $242 million over the next five years. "Bummed Out" is one of the first new projects.
Shooting for the "Bummed Out" pilot is scheduled to be completed by August 1 with post production finished by mid- October. At that time, the producers will be pitching the show to two broadcast networks which have shown interest. The entire cast, including the extras and crew, will be invited to a wrap party and viewing of the completed pilot at Java Boys.
If picked up, "Bummed Out" should premier in the winter 2011 television schedule.

Casella reports third quarter lossStaff Report | March 04,2013Casella Waste Systems on Monday reported a third quarter loss of $11.4 million, or 29 cents per share, compared to a loss of $24.6 million, or 92 cents per share for the same quarter last year.
For the quarter ended Jan. 31, revenues were $115 million, up $400,000 from the same quarter a year ago. The company said revenue growth was mainly driven by higher solid waste collection pricing and acquisitions.
The quarter included a $1.6 million severance and reorganization charge related to the sale of Maine Energy Recovery Company facility and other realignment activities, $800,000 in expenses related to the divestiture of Maine Energy and the acquisition of Blow Bros., and a $5.9 million loss on the extinguishment of debt related to the repurchase of the company's second lien notes in November.
"We continued to face operating challenges throughout our business in the third quarter," said John Casella, chairman and CEO of Casella Waste Systems. "Landfill volumes at our western New York landfills, volumes in our collection line-of-business, and the ramp-up of several projects all underperformed our expectations in the quarter and, as such, we have lowered our guidance for the current fiscal year."
Casella said the company accomplished several important goals in the quarter including the sale of the Maine waste-to-energy plant, the acquisition of BBI in Maine and New Hampshire and the issuance of a permit to expand its Southbridge landfill in Massachusetts.
Due primarily to the negative impact of lower than expected landfill volumes, softness in the collection line-of-business, and project delays, Casella adjusted its fiscal year guidance with revenues between $462 million and $472 million and adjusted EBITDA between $87 million and $90 million.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER A new report from a commission that studied the cost, availability and quality of...

At first, I thought it was a joke: Leading Republican operatives are trying to sell the idea that Hillary Rodham Clinton is too old to be president.
Really? This from a party that deifies Ronald Reagan, a man who was older when he took office than Clinton will be in 2017.
But, there it is. Karl Rove, who is three years younger than Clinton, says he is at the tail end of her generation. Mitch McConnell compared her to the "Golden Girls" of television fame. Rush Limbaugh showed his usual class in warning that the American public wouldn't want to watch her age before its very eyes (though we've been doing just that since 1992 and Clinton is currently the most popular she's been, you get the picture).
I guess the Republicans think this makes sense. It certainly fits into their apparent game plan of alienating everyone in America except angry white men.
The "Party of Lincoln" now gets about 2 percent of the African-American vote and its response is to pass all sorts of voter identification laws which have the sole aim of preventing as many black voters as possible from actually voting.
Wherever Republicans have control of state Legislatures they are using their power to enact bizarre abortion restrictions which are unlikely to actually prevent any abortions, but which certainly tell young women that Republicans are on their side.
My personal favorites are the ones that require abortion clinics to have hospital affiliation agreements and then forbid hospitals to sign such agreements.
Not to beat a dead horse or anything, but there was a time when even the most conservative Republicans agreed that abortions might be acceptable in cases of rape or incest or when a mother's life was in danger. Ah, those good old naive, wishy-washy days.
Now, we want to force young women to give birth to any child she conceives, no matter what the circumstances. Once that child is born, of course, good luck for getting it medical care.
So, if you are a political party that alienates blacks, Latinos and young women, who is left?
Why, older women, of course. We don't know whether Hillary Clinton will actually run for president or not, but we do know that Republicans are touting the idea that a 69-year-old former Secretary of State -- unlike a 69-year-old former California governor -- is too creaky to run the country.
What we seem to have here is a major political party that controls the machinery of state governments across the nation, most tragically here in Wisconsin, that seems intent on using its power only to beat up on people who don't have power.
I doubt that this will last forever, but it is ugly as it lasts.
