The Lewmar Ocean line offers an extensive range of features starting with the モWavespring in self-tailer. Lewmar's self-tailing system combines a gentle wave grip with self-adjusting springs. It can handle today's smaller diameter lines as well as traditional larger Dacron composite ropes. A sleek, minimum friction feeder arm provides a snag-free operation. No tools are required to service a Lewmar winch. Just unscrew the top cap with your fingers to remove the drum and provide access to the center stem and deck fitting holes.
Self-tailing winches are ideal for sheets, halyards, and control lines on racing and cruising boats. The self-tailing mechanism means that one crew member can quickly and easily trim or raise sails. Two-speed winches enable quick grinding in first gear out of a tack or jibe. When the sheet loads up, the reverse direction gives more power in second gear.

Labor bill will be tough sell
February 8, 2007
A bill that would help farm and ranch laborers injured at work has gotten a lukewarm reception in the Legislature, and local lawmakers predict it has too many hiccups to pass.
Rep. Anna Crook, R-Clovis, and others said a bill that would amend the Workers' Compensation Act to include farm and ranch workers will likely stall in a legislative committee.
Rep. Brian Moore, R-Clayton, said House Bill 80 "will be a tough sell."
"I appreciate the thought behind it," Moore said. "It's a dangerous occupation, but this is not the way to deal with it."
Agriculture is one of the nation's most hazardous industries, but only 26 states require agricultural employers to provide workers' compensation for migrant and seasonal farm workers, according to a New Mexico Legislative Finance Committee fiscal impact report.
Injured farm and ranch workers often forgo needed treatment, go into debt to obtain it, or are reluctant to file claims for fear of employer retaliation, the report reads.
Despite the hazards of agricultural labor, many say mandating House Bill 80 would be messy and costly.
Lots of eastern New Mexico farm and ranch owners already have insurance to cover medical costs of injured workers, according to Clovis farm owner Stanley Pipkin.
"It's just another added expense. There are more efficient ways to run an insurance program than through the state," he said.
From an administration perspective, House Bill 80 also has hitches.
Farm and ranch workers are "an extremely mobile population" — some are illegal immigrants who zigzag across the U.S. and Mexico border, said Van Cravens, State of New Mexico Workers' Compensation Administration public information officer.
"How do you track these people?" Cravens said.
Implementing the bill would cost the state an estimated $150,000 to $275,000 in 2008, and expenses would recur annually, according to the Legislature's fiscal report.
At present staffing levels, the Workers' Compensation Administration could not absorb an increased number of workers' compensation claims, the report reads.
Reform could save House Bill 80, according to Dale Petty, a Clovis native who lobbies in New Mexico on behalf of the Rocky Mountain Farmers Union.
As written, the bill requires farm and ranch employers of three or more laborers to supply workers' compensation and does not distinguish between full-time employees or seasonal and migrant workers. Petty said the bill should apply to employers of 10 or more laborers.
"We hate to see bills that are introduced and have a blanket coverage. It really hurts the small producers," Petty said.
"When you get to a larger operation, it puts it into a different ballgame," he said.
Many farms and ranches are corporations with hundreds of employees and should be required to help workers injured on the job, Petty said.

Los Alamos National Laboratory
Top-secret super-secure vault declassified
- Kevin Roark
- Communications Office
- (505) 665-9202
Cold War nuclear weapons storage facility video now available
LOS ALAMOS, N. M., July 23, 2013—Down a remote canyon near Los Alamos National Laboratory lies a facility known as the "Tunnel Vault," once one of the most secret and secure locations in the United States, it's the original post-WWII nuclear stockpile storage area.
Located in Los Alamos canyon at Technical Area 41, the Tunnel Vault was built between 1948 and 1949. The facility has a formidable security perimeter, a hardened guard tower — complete with gun ports and bulletproof glass — and a series of gates and doors that lead to a 230-foot long concrete tunnel that goes straight into the canyon wall.
At the end of the tunnel is a large alcove room with a single bank vault door. Through that door is a vault built inside a vault with five storage areas, all protected with identical bank vault doors. All these features can be seen on a video that tours the recently declassified, historically significant facility available on the Los Alamos National Laboratory YouTube channel.
The video also features commentary by Ellen McGehee, the Laboratory's historic facilities manager, Alan Carr, Lab historian, and Glen McDuff, a weapons scientist who worked at various times in the facility and later operated a classified museum there.
As part of the Laboratory's 70th anniversary "Signature Week" the Tunnel Vault will be one of the stops on two tours during the week of July 22, one tour will be open to working news media, and the other tour will be part of the Laboratory's family celebration for employees and their family members.
Over the years the Tunnel Vault was also used as a nuclear materials and nuclear fuel storage area, a weapons research and development laboratory, weapons components storage, and nuclear material assembly for tests both in the Pacific and in Nevada.
"This facility had a long history during the cold war. So this was definitely a top secret, very secure location," said McGehee.
About halfway down the tunnel is a side room that was used for early development of unclassified research that led to the discovery of the neutrino — work that later won a Nobel Prize in physics — a lab space ideal for the work because it's buried 300-feet deep underground.

The Queenstown Dream - Page 4
Top Trails
- Queenstown Hill. Kiwis refer to Queenstown Hill as the "Mountain of Intense Sacredness." The trail offers seven miles roundtrip (up and down with a loop at the top) and 1500 vertical feet of gain. The dense pine forest at the trailhead quickly gives way to a bald summit rewarding runners with 360-degree panoramic views of the Remarkables mountain range, Cecil Peak, the Frankton, Ben Lomond, South Arms and Queenstown Bay. The trail varies from crushed gravel to hard-packed dirt, and from smooth doubletrack to rutty singletrack.
- Queenstown Gardens, Frankton Arm Walkway, Sunshine Bay Walk. From the center of town, at the mouth of Queenstown Bay on Lake Wakatipu, run left (east) along crushed gravel doubletrack through Queenstown Gardens and along the Frankton Arm Walkway. At the center of town, run to the right (west) and follow Wakatipu's shoreline en route to the well-maintained, rolling singletrack woodland trail of Sunshine Bay.
- Ben Lomond and Moonlight tracks. Expect strenuous climbs and stunning views. At the north end of town, at the gondola base, zigzag up the Ti Ki Trail on rich, black-soiled singletrack through dense pine forest and make your way to the Skyline Gondola facilities. The first of many jaw-dropping photo opportunities begins here. Continue upward along Ben Lomond Track to the summit 4.5 miles from town with over 4700 feet of vertical gain. Descend the steep and loose rock-infested pitch from Ben Lamond and continue north along Moonlight Track, a grassy, meandering, mountainside traverse. The Moonlight Track seemingly travels forever into the horizon until finally reaching the Shotover River and ending at the small hamlet of Arthur's Point, home of the Shotover Jet boat ride company, whose business it is to convey fearless, thrill seekers through the dramatic and narrow river canyon walls at high speeds. Pay particular attention to the pink ribbon markings on Moonlight as intersecting goat paths can lure you off route.
- Routeburn Track. This 20-mile point-to-point trail, is often technical and steep, and traverses wild mountain country, presenting numerous waterfalls and a high-elevation lake, through Mount Aspiring and Fiordland national parks. To find the Routeburn, depart Queenstown and travel west on Glenorchy-Queenstown Road, pass through the town of Glenorchy, in Paradise Valley, go over the Dart River and you will soon enter Mount Aspiring National Park, home to Routeburn Track's western trailhead. Allow for approximately 75 minutes travel time.

"Major League" writer/director David S.Ward tells Moviehole that a new film based on the hit 1989 baseball comedy is in the works, one that will reunite the original cast.
"We're actually talking about doing one right now. I've written, what I see, as Major League 3. We're putting that together as we speak - in fact, next week I'm off to talk to James Robinson at Morgan Creek about it. It's 20 years later, and Wild Thing comes out of retirement to work with this 19-year-old player. We've actually got three new characters in the new film. And if the new film is popular, they could carry the franchise on" says Ward.
Tom Berenger, Corbin Bernsen, Wesley Snipes and Charlie Sheen were the four main stars of the original, though Ward admits Sheen is the only one he's spoken to so far about returning - "He's excited to do it if and when it happens. But he can't shoot it this year, because he's back doing Two-and-a-Half Men, but we could potentially shoot it next year - in his hiatus from the show".
Obviously a long way off from being green lit or anything but just the fact that it's potentially in the works cracks me up. They couldn't really have Rick coming out of retirement to play could they?? Way to old for that. Maybe him and Jake could be on the coaching staff and Dorn could be in the front office. Nice of Sheen to take time off from his busy wife beating schedule to talk to Ward about it.

Public notices keep every citizen informed
Minnesota lawmakers will convene soon, and one of the first proposals they will consider is a bill to allow local governments to put public notices on their own websites and abandon the requirement to pay newspapers to print them.
We strongly disagree with this proposal. Yes, it would remove a source of revenue for newspapers. But we oppose it as well because the public will not be well served by removing newspapers as the main source for legal notices.
The public notice requirement was established to provide important information to the public about their government in a place where the public is most likely to see it. People already look to us for news reports about local government, so it only makes sense that they will look to us for public notices as well. Public notices allow citizens to make informed decisions and be active participants in their government. They lead to transparency in government.
Would public notices be as widespread if they were only available on government websites? It may seem like everyone is online these days, but there are many people who don't have computers, or Internet access. Many senior citizens are computer literate, but many are not. But they do read newspapers.
Newspapers have supported common sense changes in legal notice regulations, including the law passed 10 years ago requiring newspapers that publish legal notices to also place them on their websites at no charge.
Newspapers in America have always served as part of the checks and balances in a community, one that keeps citizens informed and government on its toes. Part of that job includes publishing legal notices. Taking that away, and putting it in the hands of government alone, would weaken those checks and balances.

Life Science has always been one of my favorite topics and as a former Science teacher, I want to make sure that I pass on my love of the subject to Riley. Now I may be a little biased in this opinion, but I don't think that the importance of Science can be stressed to children enough. It is a subject which utilizes reading, writing, mathematics, deductive reasoning and creative thinking and teaches us the way our world works. I love getting out in the backyard with Riley and examining every leaf, rock, insect and spider we come across. Thanks to Learning Resources and the Zoomy Handheld Digital Microscope, we can study our findings in a whole new way. Keep reading to find out why this is a scientific tool no child should be without!I can recall when I was about 10 years old, I received my first microscope, which was a very bulky contraption that needed slides, cover slips, an electrical source or the sun for the microscope's light. It was also extremely hard to get the specimen in focus and then, there was no way to capture what you saw to share with others or keep for yourself.Boy, how technology has changed the way we do things! The Zoomy Handheld Digital Microscope is the easiest microscope to use and is even recommended for children ages 3-18. Imagine that...a 3 year old operating a microscope! All that's necessary is a laptop or computer which contains a CD-ROM and USB port, so that you can upload the imaging software and plug the Zoomy directly in.The Zoomy also comes with two adapters for face/scalp and nose/ears. These adapters snap on the end of the Zoomy and allow you to put the microscope directly on your own skin or hair, without damaging the lens in any way. Notice from the first picture below, how every freckle, hair and even the texture of my arm's skin are seen perfectly using the Zoomy.I also love the compactness of the Zoomy as well as how it contains its own LED light source and requires no batteries whatsoever. This device runs completely off your own computer's power and is so small and lightweight, that it could be tossed in your laptop bag for scientific discoveries on the go. As a matter of fact, if you are using the Zoomy along with a laptop, then you can examine anything interesting you come across right then and there. That's how Riley and I came to discover our backyard in much greater detail. We plopped down on our bellies with my laptop and the Zoomy and studied everything we could find. Just check out our up-close pictures of a seashell, plant's stem and leaves and a piece of bark.The Zoomy offers 35-53X magnification and focusing this microscope is super simple. All you have to do is slowly twist the top section of the Zoomy back and forth until the item pops into focus. The high-resolution images displayed on your computer screen are crystal clear and capturing your discoveries is as simple as clicking the silver button on the top of the Zoomy. I was able to take the four pictures you see above in a matter of minutes and couldn't get over how quick and easy this was to do.I think that Learning Resources has hit a home run with the Zoomy Digital Handheld Microscope for it works well with almost any computer...simply plug and play. You will need to install the microscope's software, which is contained on a smaller CD, so if you happen to have a CD-ROM drive which doesn't open up but rather requires the disc to slide directly in, you won't be able to use this smaller disk. In this case, you can install the software directly from Learning Resources site using this link.This microscope also works well with projectors or even interactive whiteboards, making it the perfect classroom tool too! I wish I would have had one of these when I was still teaching, for I know that this would have brought new life and interest to our lessons and a way to share fascinating finds with the entire class. I can't recommend the Zoomy Digital Handheld Microscope from Learning Resources enough! A device that encourages hands-on investigations and scientific inquiry which can be used with children ages 3 to 18? Now that's money time and money well spent!I received the Zoomy Handheld Digital Microscope from Learning Resources in order to facilitate my review. No other compensation was received. This product review is based on my own personal experiences with this item and is completely honest and objective.

Making it work in a Mac:The 3"-diameter software disk does not fit in an iMac (OS X, v 10.6.8) so I downloaded the software from the Learning Resources site, as indicated in the instructions. There are two choices for Mac software. I picked version 3.1.03 to match the product number.However, I could not make the microscope work with the Digital Viewer software. All I saw was a black screen, even when made sure I set the Device to USB 2.0 Camera under Settings...Device Setup. After reading the reviews on this site I tried using Photo Booth. I changed the input (under the Camera pull menu) to USB 2.0 Camera. Finally, the image displayed in the PhotoBooth window.USE:The image quality is nice and the unit is easy to hold in ones hand. Similar products do the same thing. I wouldn't recommend this product for Mac users until the company offers software that is suitable, or explains how to use the existing software. In the year 2013, when everything is plug-and-play, there is no excuse for not making a product easy to use, right out of the box. Perhaps another reviewer will explain how to make the Digital Viewer software work.

About Me Aerospace Quality Enginee
We have used this device for several years in an aerospace quality control environment for photographing printed circuit boards and small parts such as ball bearing assemblies of less than 1/8" in diameter. The software is easy to download and install. Usage is "point and shoot". Magnification is larger if as you get closer. Exposure is adjusted automatically.We reach for this unit before our $6000 dollar PC based microscope at 40X.

Works on Mac using PhotoBooth
By Susan
from Boston, MA
About Me Parent Of Two Or More Children
I was frustrated at first because the software wouldn't open on my Mac (using Mavericks). It said it wouldn't open because it came from an "unidentified developer." But then I just opened Photo Booth based on other comments and I didn't need anything else. I just plugged in the zoomy, selected the USB option under the Camera menu and up popped the image. You can even take photos using the Photo Booth software (but not using the button on the zoomy). One thing that other people may not miss but I did is that you focus by twisting the top third of the "egg." I was trying to focus at first by twisting the little silver camera button.

Exciting Learning Tool Using a Mac or PC
By nwridgerunner
from Frisco, TX formerly Beaverton, OR
About Me Education Oriented
The ability to allow a group of students (young or old) to view a magnified object leads to an eruption of group discussion. It's also great for the individual.I just got this today so after reading a number of complaints regarding its use with a Mac, as the tech specialist in an elementary school which uses both Macs and PCs, I decided to immediately check it out.Small hiccup with both but easily rectified. The PC gave me a black screen when I first tried but I went to Settings within Digital Viewer, selected Device, selected USB 2.0 Camera, quit the program and started it again. Voila! Basically the same with the Mac. It defaulted to the iSight camera but once I made the change the Zoomy worked. Yes, you do have to download the software. Just be sure you download the correct version.A few minor hiccups warrants a 4 but definitely nothing less. Of course, only time will tell about durability. I taught math and science for 30 years. I wouldn't hesitate to add this tool to my lab.

Easy for kids to use & learn with.
By bu11frogg
from Holden, MA
Highly recommended!The Microscope is VERY easy to use and works fine on Mac OS X 10.9 and Windows 8. Just download the Zoomy software, plug in the 'scope and off you go!On the plus side, the Zoomy is very easy for young kids to use and the shutter button is easy for them to operate. The images are surprisingly good given the low-res 640x480 sensor. The focus adjustments are easy to make and the design means that focus doesn't drift or change easily, which is really important.The only thing we really don't like is that there is no way to adjust or disable the LED lights. We found that some bugs move away from the bright lights. Additionally, it would be really great if the Zoomy had a tripod mount. We think pairing the Zoomy with a GorillaPod flexible tripod would really open up some new possibilities!All in all, the Zoomy is a really great microscope, designed for kids in a way that appeals to them. With a couple more features, it could be nearly perfect.I would love to see a Bluetooth version come along and introduce Zoomy to iOS devices. This thing is begging to be freed from the cable.

Hawaii's legislative activities primarily deal with renewable energy deployment and permitting, such as in 1992 prohibition of covenant restrictions for solar. The Legislature also enacted legislation in 2001 for net metering of certain renewable and expanded the capacity limits in 2004 (HB 2048) and in 2005 increase the carryover of net excess generation. (SB 1003) [2, 3]
Because Hawaii is separated from the mainland and has a completely independent grid for each island, Hawaii has had to address some of the basics of pricing power well before the rest of the country. The Hawaii Public Utilities Commission addressed interruptible service by 1986 and off-peak and curtailable service by 2008 as a method of demand side management. Time-of-Use rates for businesses were approved by 1995 and residential customers in 2003. [1]
Demand side management consists of the Interruptible service rider is negotiated between the customer and the utility and approved by the Commission or the off-peak and curtailable service has the option of shifting load to off-peak hours not to exceed on-peak hours or have the option of curtailing load during the companies curtailment hours.
Time-of-Use rates break the cost for electricity into periods with demand priced on-peak or off-peak and energy priced on-peak, mid-peak, or off-peak.

Celebrity health advice has its ups and downs�here�s our take.
Having conquered the world of music, movies or TV isn�t enough for some stars�more and more seem to want to shine brightly in the world of health, too. We rounded up the latest celebrity health advice books to give you the good, the bad and the bottom line. Gwyneth Paltrow, It�s All Good: Delicious, Easy Recipes That Will Make You Look Good and Feel Great� Gwyneth Paltrow�s second cookbook, It�s All Good, was inspired by an incredibly restrictive diet she went on under doctor�s orders�no meat, sugar, dairy, tomatoes, potatoes, soy, grains and on and on�which she says now forms the baseline of what she eats. It�s hard to imagine most folks cooking like this regularly, especially since her recipes often call for obscure or expensive ingredients like Manuka honey, but there are some valuable nutritional nuggets within. Best: Is your quinoa always overcooked? Try this: �use a less-than-two-to-one ratio of water to quinoa, and tuck a paper towel between the pot and the lid while the quinoa is resting.� Worst: While taking an almost militant stance on using only fresh, organic food, Gwyneth says one of her pantry staples is processed vegan mayonnaise: �we spread it on just about everything �� Sherri Shepherd, Plan D: How to Lose Weight and Beat Diabetes (Even If You Don�t Have It) �Do It Scared� is Sherri Shepherd�s inspiring motto, and she applied it to making drastic lifestyle changes after being diagnosed with diabetes in 2007. Her �Plan D� is solid, with lots of practical celebrity health tips, including a week in her life with diet and exercise suggestions. But the chapter explaining diabetes, while not inaccurate, might have been better outsourced to a medical expert. Best: Have trouble getting tons of veggies in your diet? Steal Sherri�s trick: �I keep a big bowl of my favorite chopped green salad in my fridge [and] never let this bowl become completely empty.� Worst: When Sherri tries to get technical, her descriptions can be awkward and confusing, like, �Think of complex carbs as anything you have to chew�other than meat, which is a protein, and taffy, which is candy for God�s sake.� Jessica Alba, The Honest Life: Living Naturally and True to You� A lifelong battle with asthma and severe allergies has informed Jessica Alba�s green lifestyle, and she�s clearly done her homework, which she shares in a thorough but digestible format. Some sections of this celebrity health book read as little more than a catalog for her Honest Company�s products, but the beauty and skincare chapters are especially dishy, fun and�yes�honest about the compromises she makes for the sake of her career. Best: Eco-friendly cosmetics can be pricey (and are still a work-in-progress), so just concentrate on eliminating the most toxic offenders in your stash. �Red is the lipstick color most likely to contain high levels of lead according to the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics,� she says, so invest in one from safe brands Hourglass, Tarte or 100% Pure. Worst: Jessica admits she sometimes needs something stronger than all-natural deodorant for big events, but her solution�layering the chemical-laden antiperspirant over the nontoxic deodorant to keep it from absorbing into her skin�seems illogical. Doesn�t antiperspirant need skin contact to work? Valerie Bertinelli, One Dish at a Time: Delicious Recipes and Stories From My Italian-American Childhood and Beyond [ A longtime yo-yo dieter who in recent years seems to have settled in to a very consistent healthy lifestyle, Valerie Bertinelli preaches an extremely sensible approach to eating with occasional splurges in this book. Not everyone will appreciate the blatant shilling for Jenny Craig on some pages, but in truth we were hard-pressed to find any truly bad celebrity health advice here. Best: The Italian-American satisfies herself with less pasta by serving it up fancy restaurant style: �plunge a pair of tongs into the pot of pasta, grabbing some of the strands with it, and start twirling until there�s a serving size amount...� Worst: Overall, Valerie�s approach to indulging is very healthy, but she does confess a serious attachment to one very fatty treat: �Whenever I can make something that�s a vehicle for bacon, I will.� Mayim Bialik, Beyond the Sling: A Real-Life Guide to Raising Confident, Loving Children the Attachment Parenting Way� TV�s �Blossom� is just one of a handful of �90s child stars remaking themselves as hippie-dippie parenting gurus, but Mayim Bialik is the only one with a PhD in neuroscience, which lends some credence to her advice. Still, if the hallmarks of attachment parenting�like the �family bed��make you squirm, her extra-crunchy approach isn�t likely to change your mind. Best: The book is more anecdotal than academic, but when she breaks out her neuroscience know-how, Mayim�s arguments can be compelling. In particular, she explains that instincts and intuition are an actual physiological function and not just �hocus-pocus��so parents should not be afraid to trust them. Worst: Mayim is careful not to oversell her anti-vaccination stance, saying only (and vaguely), �this is a very personal decision that should be made only after sufficient research.� But presenting it as a parenting choice with equally weighted pros and cons ignores the fact that every major medical organization in the U.S. advocates strongly for childhood vaccines�both as a matter of personal and public health. Elisabeth Hasselbeck, Deliciously G-Free: Food So Flavorful They�ll Never Believe It�s Gluten-Free� While Elisabeth Hasselbeck has been clinically diagnosed with celiac disease, throughout this celebrity health book she repeatedly sings the praises of a gluten-free diet for all, vaguely citing �energy� and �great health reasons� without sourcing or elaborating. That said, this is a very thorough guide to gluten-free cooking clearly based on years of trial and error�which can�t be said about many celiac-friendly cookbooks. Best: Since even a tiny amount of gluten can cause a reaction, it�s important to avoid contaminating g-free spaces. Her catchy rule of thumb��Gluten goes low, g-free flies high!��will help you remember to put the possible contaminants on lower shelves to prevent them from dripping or spilling down. Worst: It�s hard to buy into the health benefits of a g-free diet when she touts so much junk food: �Try storing a supply of deliciously g-free cupcakes, muffins, g-free pizza dough, the double batch of chicken fingers and cookie dough [in the freezer].� Eva Longoria, Eva�s Kitchen: Cooking With Love for Family and Friends� To be fair, Eva Longoria doesn�t sell this as a healthy cookbook�it�s primarily an ode to cooking in the Tex-Mex tradition she grew up with. But being a high-profile actress, she can�t help but offer celebrity health tips on weight-conscious eating throughout, to mixed effect. Best: Do your salads leave something to be desired? Ditch the boring romaine for a more gourmet green. �Tender butterhead lettuce is my absolute favorite �. On the other side of the spectrum is peppery arugula.� Worst: Eva admits her potentially calorie-laden secret for getting reluctant diners to eat veggies: �I hide nutritious vegetables under generous amounts of cheese or sauce so everyone will eat them.� Sheryl Crow, If It Makes You Healthy: More Than 100 Delicious Recipes Inspired By the Season Since her successful battle with breast cancer, Sheryl Crow has proffered some good health tips (get your mammograms) and some not so good (hot bottled water causes cancer) in interviews. Fortunately, for her first cookbook she mostly leaves the advice to her chef Chuck White and dietitian Rachel Beller, popping up pretty rarely to share her own celebrity health shortcuts. Best: Sheryl admits she wasn�t a fish lover at first, but she�s come around. Her favorite? Low-mercury trout: �It�s often easy to find locally caught or raised, and therefore super-fresh.� Worst: Without citing any medical expert or research, Sheryl notes that she doesn�t like her kids to eat gluten because �it bogs down the immune system and contributes to chest colds.� Brought to you by: Spry Living

Pass FCAT, collect $100?
The idea of paying students to learn may be distasteful, but it works.
By RON MATUS
Published May 28, 2007
To prod students into getting smarter, faster, Florida has tried just about everything: grading their schools. Shrinking their classes. Even tying teacher bonuses to how well students do on standardized tests.
Maybe it's time for something more direct: paying students.
How about $50 for passing the FCAT? How about $100?
How about $1,000?
Many parents reward good grades with cold, hard cash. And at least one school district has tried it with positive results.
Three years ago, the 2,000-student school district of Coshocton, Ohio, began offering elementary school students up to $100 to pass that state's version of the FCAT.
Math scores shot up immediately.
"Kids are supposed to come to school because they love to learn," Coshocton superintendent Wade Lucas said. "Our response is, 'In the perfect world, they are.' It's not that way in Coshocton."
Could Florida be next? Many education advocates hope not. And chances are slim: The idea of paying students only floats around on the fringe of policy debates. And if it ever enters real-world airspace, it's shot down with the same argument: Tie money to student learning and you'll snuff out the joy of it.
But the idea still makes a blip now and then, in part because it hasn't been tried much, because it looks more cost-effective than other education reforms and because parents don't dismiss the idea as quickly as teachers do.
In Florida, at least one key lawmaker likes the concept and thinks it'll be ripe for a look next session.
"Sometimes the obvious eludes us," said Sen. Stephen Wise, R-Jacksonville, who chairs the Education Appropriations Committee and says his wife gives the grandkids money for glowing report cards. Performance pay for students "is not a bad concept."
"I think we ought to figure out what we can do and how much it costs," he said.
- - -
Coshocton is a Rust Belt town in the Appalachian foothills.
Its industrial base has all but vanished, leaving behind a student population where one in four is disabled and half are on free or reduced-price lunch. A few years ago, in response to anemic test scores, Ohio pinned its most dire label on Coshocton: academic "emergency."
In stepped a local businessman named Robert Simpson. He donated $100,000 to start a student incentive program and told school officials: If it works, I'll fund it forever.
The district decided to parcel out the money in $20,000 annual allotments. For starters, it focused on grades 3 through 6. Students can earn up to $20 for each of five standardized tests they take. Instead of cash, they earn "Coshocton bucks," faux money with a dollar-for-dollar exchange rate that's widely accepted by local merchants.
At first, teachers were skeptical. Lucas put together an advisory committee, gave parents, teachers and businesspeople seats at the table, and spent seven months answering questions. In the end, he got a green light.
Now, every year, eight of 16 classes in the four targeted grades are picked at random during the district's academic pep rally. As students cheer, the superintendent reaches into a lottery-style numbers machine.
"We start pulling out the ping-pong balls, the place goes crazy," Lucas said.
- - -
In Florida, there have been pizza parties for honor roll kids and McDonald's gift certificates for perfect attendance. And when the FCAT came along and stakes got higher, the rewards got better: At a Sarasota high school, administrators gave out 10 iPods to students who consistently showed up for FCAT prep sessions. At Sheehy Elementary in Tampa, students with top FCAT scores got to have lunch with the principal hoorah? after being chauffeured to a restaurant by limo.
But for all that, school-sanctioned rewards still remain scattershot, rinky-dink and limited to a few.
In Coshocton, more than 90 percent of students earn money, with the average payout last year coming to $74.
At that rate, a version in Florida -- where 1.6-million students take the FCAT -- would cost about $100-million.
By some comparisons, that's not a lot of money. The Legislature set aside $148-million this year for a new teacher bonus plan. And this summer, teachers will get most of the $150-million or so doled out to high-performing schools. Teachers have widely bashed both programs. And there's been no research to gauge if either is working.
If that money were instead directed to students taking FCATs, average payouts would approach $200. Target it more narrowly -- say, to the 700,000 students who flunked the FCAT in reading this year -- and average payouts would top $400.
It would not be difficult to design a plan, using existing money, where many students earn $1,000 bonuses.
Would that be enough?
A hundred dollars wouldn't move Molly Taylor, 15, who just finished her freshman year at Boca Ciega High in Gulfport.
"I get that for babysitting," she said.
Three hundred? Nope.
Five hundred? Molly cracks a smile. "That's straight," she said. For that, "students would step their game up."
It wouldn't take as much to motivate Alexander Dye, 8, who's headed into third grade at Rawlins Elementary in Pinellas Park. He already gets $100 from Mom every report card, so he shrugged at $50. But another $100?
"That would help me a lot," he said.
Mom perked up, too.
"If you go to work, you get money," said Cristina Dye, a stay-at-home mother whose husband is a truck driver. "...Why not teach them something responsible?"
- - -
Does it work?
In Coshocton, students who were eligible for bonuses out-performed their peers in math the first year, gaining about a year's more knowledge. The next year, their scores remained a grade level higher.
The results are promising, said Eric Bettinger, an economics professor at Case Western Reserve University, who is monitoring the results. "The thing that's interesting about the Coshocton experiment is that instead of putting a stick out there, we've put a carrot -- and the students have responded."
In March, a group of educators and business executives called the National Math and Science Initiative Inc. announced a national plan to offer high school students $250 for each Advanced Placement exam they pass. In Dallas, where the idea started, the number of passing AP scores in participating schools increased tenfold in a decade.
"The idea is to sweeten the pot, if you will, for students who may be reluctant to engage in more rigorous course work," especially minority students, said John Winn, the former Florida education commissioner who is now working on the project. "We put it in the same context as scholarships. Nobody complains about giving kids full scholarships for achievement."
The way Winn sees it, Florida already has the biggest student incentive program in the country: the Bright Futures Scholarship. The wildly popular program covers $400-million worth of tuition each year for college students who maintained a B average in high school and got at least so-so SAT scores. Since it began in 1997, Florida's graduation rate has gone up more than 10 percentage points.
A scholarship might be too abstract for an elementary student, said Lucas, the superintendent. "I've never talked to a third-grader who says they're going to Ohio State when they graduate."
But even a third-grader knows what $100 can buy.

1. Re: Highlighting text in PDF document(sws) Mar 3, 2006 9:06 AM (in response to (SANJAY_GHOTKAR))Acrobat Pro gives you the ability to highlight text. There are many other things you can do along these lines with the application as well.
2. Re: Highlighting text in PDF document(James_Madsen) Nov 24, 2008 3:33 PM (in response to (SANJAY_GHOTKAR))Does Acrobat Pro Extended (version 9) allow text highlighting in any color other than yellow? I, too, am a physician, and I like to highlight different types of text in different colors (e.g., green for numbers and pink, orange, and yellow for text of decreasing importance).
3. Re: Highlighting text in PDF document(Appligent_Document_Solutions) Nov 25, 2008 7:01 AM (in response to (SANJAY_GHOTKAR))To change the color of the highlighting, right click on highlighted text and select properties. You can select any color you want.

I don't see where/how to change the default highlight color in Acrobat 9.
I'd like to be able to set it for either a particular file, or for all future use (default setting).

When I go to print a PDF that has highlighted test, the highlight color does not print. Yes it is a color printer. What gives?
11. Re: Highlighting text in PDF documentVoner127 Jun 25, 2011 12:41 PM (in response to Al2233)
What type of printer are you using (Brand, Model, is it a wireless connection or a wired connection)?
Also, it could be the settings you are using. Do you have it set to print document AND mark-up?
(I usually put my contact information here, but it will just be removed by an administrator)
12. Re: Highlighting text in PDF documentAffectuality Sep 22, 2011 1:34 PM (in response to (SANJAY_GHOTKAR))
A little late for the original post, but for anyone else looking to highlight text in Acrobat Pro 9 and be able to change the highlighter color...
Accessing the highlighter tool:
- Right-click on the Toolbar.
- Select/check "Comment and Markup." This is the toolbar that contains the Highlight Text tool.
Changing the highlighter color:
- You can right-click on the highlighted text and go to Properties, etc, but there's a more convenient method.
While using the Highlight Text tool, turn on the Properties Bar (make it visible)
- Window: Ctl+E
- Mac: Cmd+E
- Mouse: Right-click on the Toolbar and select/check Properties Bar.
This will give you quick access to your highlighter properties, and it will remember your selected color between uses.
The Properties Bar is context aware and will change based on the tool you're actively using, so you have access to change your highlight color through it when the Highlight Text tool is selected/in use.

15. Re: Highlighting text in PDF documenttry67 Feb 4, 2012 1:20 PM (in response to jkennedy2008)
Nope, you can't...
16. Re: Highlighting text in PDF documentjmcarroll79 Jun 28, 2012 8:51 PM (in response to Affectuality)
Ok, I am curious about this one.
I use PDF to read my texts for school, as well as journal articles downloaded from the university library. I can highlight text on journal articles, but not on my PDF text. Is there a reason for this?
17. Re: Highlighting text in PDF documentscreenplayTheater Mar 22, 2013 5:36 AM (in response to (SANJAY_GHOTKAR))
As a screenwriter and producer, I find this immensly helpful! To change the DEFAULT color, there is a checkbox at the bottom of the properties pop-up that I originally didn't see - very helpful. Saves time manually highlighting parts for the same actor with different roles.
18. Re: Highlighting text in PDF documentgigifx May 9, 2013 6:30 AM (in response to jkennedy2008)
refering to the possibility of more easily accessing the coloring option:
since there is a demand for being able to do this simple thing, i find no reason for this not being implemented already..
in the end, it's about usability of the interface and options; the option of coloring exists already, it just needs to allow users to more easily access it.
i'm totally waiting for that simple feature...
19. Re: Highlighting text in PDF documentBill@VT May 9, 2013 7:51 AM (in response to jmcarroll79)
jmcarroll79: Are you sure you have PDF text (or actual text)? Often you have a picture of text and the picture can not be highlighted. You can use the drawing tools to underline just like a pencil in such cases, but not to highlight a graphic.
20. Re: Highlighting text in PDF documentboyrobot_007 May 17, 2013 5:39 PM (in response to Bill@VT)
I'm in a similar boat. I read a lot of patent documents, most of them PDFs but not text proper; they're scanned images of text. I like the way Adobe Reader (free) renders background light blue when I click, makes for easy reading. What I can't figure out how to do is make it global i.e. whole document not just page-by-page.
21. Re: Highlighting text in PDF documentlove2succeed Apr 14, 2016 11:53 AM (in response to (SANJAY_GHOTKAR))
Adobe needs to make the background modifiable for the user. I should be able to pick whatever background color I want. That ugly gray is terrible!
This is an application that we use often, they should make it more user-friendly and improve the appearance.
It should not take this long to fix! Obviously the Customers want this.
22. Re: Highlighting text in PDF documentkaya0406 Jun 9, 2016 7:12 PM (in response to (SANJAY_GHOTKAR))
I don't know how, but my highlighter highlights like a pencil and I cant change it back, can anyone please tell me how to fix that before I pull my hair out

"Will that be soup or salad?" is a question forever engrained in the American dining experience. Of course, the answer depends on what's cooking. To make this an easy decision, Chef Justin Timineri offers up a unique and exciting salad with a Fresh From Florida twist.
The grilled Florida peach salad with candied pecans is pure joy—sweet and warm, with a hint of spice on the cayenne-infused candied pecans. This dish is great alone, the centerpiece of a late lunch du jour, or an excellent entry into a multi-course meal.
Grilled Florida Peach Salad with Candied Pecans
Serves 6
- 4 large peaches
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 2 tablespoons flavored vinegar
- Kosher salt to taste
- Freshly ground pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon unsalted butter
- ½ cup pecans, chopped
- 1 tablespoon natural sugar
- 1 pinch cayenne pepper
- 2 heads romaine lettuce
Preheat grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Cut each peach into six slices; discard pits. Cook peach slices until grill marks appear (no need to completely cook peaches). Remove from grill and let cool at room temperature.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar, salt and pepper. Set aside.
Heat a medium-sized pan over medium-high heat. Add butter, pecans, sugar and cayenne pepper. Cook while stirring constantly until sugar dissolves and turns golden brown. Remove pecans from heat and cool to room temperature.
Slice both heads of romaine into six sections. Place lettuce and peaches on plate and top with dressing and candied pecans. Serve immediately.
The official chef of Florida, Justin Timineri, shares some of his recipes with us. A proponent of eating healthy, locally grown and harvested produce and seafood, Timineri creates recipes that imbue that Fresh From Florida flavor. For more on Chef Justin, click here.

Just make sure you have a nice board, reg, and feedneck on there, and it'll be on par with any brand new supergun. (no, I'm not biased at ALL )
While the Shocker doesn't look as tacticool, it would definitely be a worthwhile upgrade.
Using a gun that's been hardly maintained and tossed from person to person more than a village whore is hardly a fair way to compare the marker.

Do I love to cook and share favorite recipes? This meetup offers foodies the chance to share a love of cooking with others while meeting new friends and having some fun!
Whether sharing appetizers and drinks while a professional musical duo performs, sampling ethnic delights, or celebrating the 150th Anniversary of the first Memorial Day, in the park where it all began, we bring together great food, and fun people.
Please join us, if the following fits.
First, this is a foodie group. Food is to be HOME-MADE, not store bought.
Second, if I RSVP that I will attend, and can't, I will modify the RSVP to no, several days in advance of the function date. This allows hosts to plan, and provides time for anyone wait-listed to attend. Yes, things come up and life interferes. Do your best.
Third, this group is for participants, who attend events, and who also agree to be a volunteer host for an event, within 24 months of joining. A volunteer host sets their own boundaries, and may choose to host at a public park, or other public venue, rather than their home. Because of this, a small kitchen or living space, or a need for personal privacy won't preclude being a volunteer host.

The Case Against The Confederacy
Why "Libertarian" Defenses of the Confederacy and "States' Rights" are Incoherent
There is a strain of libertarian contrarianism that holds that the Confederate States of America were within their "rights" to secede from the Union. Such contrarianism on this particular topic is detrimental to the larger cause of liberty because the logic of this argument relies upon relinquishing individual rights to the whim of the state. Indeed, as there is no legal or moral justification for supporting the Confederacy in the Civil War, it is impossible that there could be a libertarian one.[more inside]
