Heat waves in the United States: Research on trends, definitions and dangers to the public
July 2016 was the hottest month on Earth since people began keeping records, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). It beat a record set in July 2015. Land temperatures were 1.8°F above average. July 2016 was also the 379th consecutive month with temperatures above the 20th century average.
While there are certainly annual fluctuations, the research consensus is that human-induced climate change will, in effect, "load the dice" and make heat waves more likely — and more extreme. This is already contributing to increased drought and more intense wildfires, scientists have found. The initial 2013 federal National Climate Assessment report notes that "Americans are noticing changes all around them. Summers are longer and hotter, and periods of extreme heat last longer than any living American has ever experienced."
What might be the human consequences? Research predicts that mortality rates will increase across the population. A 2012 study published in Environmental Research, "Cold and Heat Waves in the United States," examined data from nearly 100 U.S. cities over a period of more than a decade and concluded that there "was an increased risk of death during heat waves. The largest increases were for the most extreme temperatures … although these extreme heat waves were also the rarest…. However, the public health burden of these extreme heat waves is very likely to increase as global temperature rise and extreme heat waves become more common." A 2011 study, "Heat Waves in the United States: Mortality Risk during Heat Waves and Effect Modification by Heat Wave Characteristics in 43 U.S. Communities," published in Environmental Health Perspectives, concludes:
Nationally, mortality increased 3.74% … during heat waves compared with non-heat wave days. Heat wave mortality risk increased 2.49% for every 1°F increase in heat wave intensity and 0.38% for every 1-day increase in heat wave duration. Mortality increased 5.04% … during the first heat wave of the summer versus 2.65% … during later heat waves, compared with non-heat wave days. Heat wave mortality impacts and effect modification by heat wave characteristics were more pronounced in the Northeast and Midwest compared with the South.
The elderly will likely suffer more; indeed, a 2012 research study in the journal Climatic Change estimates that California cities "could have a greater than tenfold increase in short-term increases in heat-related mortality in the over 65 age group by the 2090s." For those skeptical of these various single-study estimates, it is worth keeping in mind a 2011 metastudy that examined the research findings of 14 previous papers: "Scenario-based projection research will meaningfully contribute to assessing and managing the potential impacts of climate change on heat-related mortality."
For reporters and policymakers looking for guidance about how to characterize the climate change-weather event connection, it is worth considering the language of a July 2012 report published in the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society: "In the past it was often stated that it simply was not possible to make an attribution statement about an individual weather or climate event. However, scientific thinking on this issue has moved on and now it is widely accepted that attribution statements about individual weather or climate events are possible, provided proper account is taken of the probabilistic nature of attribution."
The categories, measurements and language used in this research area can be complex. A 2013 study also published in Climatic Change, "Heat Waves in the United States: Definitions, Patterns and Trends," analyzes 15 previously published heat wave indices over the period 1979-2011. The researchers, Tiffany T. Smith and Benjamin F. Zaitchik of Johns Hopkins University and Julia M. Gohlke of the University of Alabama at Birmingham, note that there are diverse perspectives on what precisely constitutes a heat wave, and scientists, public health researchers and different regions and communities may have different notions. The study sets out to reconcile this conflicting data. Prior scholarship has produced mixed results when looking, for example, at whether or not heat waves are increasing in the U.S. Southeast region.
The study's findings include:
- The majority of the data examined "show that the percent area experiencing significant increases in heat waves is larger in the Southeast than in the Northeast, and that for nine of these ten indices the magnitude of trend has been greater in the Southeast than the Northeast. Therefore, according to the majority of indices considered in this study the Southeast has seen larger and more spatially extensive trends than the Northeast."
- Further, the "Southeast saw the highest values of average heat wave days, indicating that the Southeast has experienced more heat wave days from 1979 to 2011 than any other" region in the Continental United States.
- "From the trend analysis, this study has shown that the Southeast and Great Plains regions have experienced both the largest magnitude and most widespread increases in heat wave days per year according to most indices."
"Understanding the role that definitions play in such studies," the researchers conclude, "is important for interpreting seemingly contradictory results and for enhancing the quality of communication between climate scientists, health researchers, and the general public."

Posted on 09/13/2013 12:58:41 PM PDT by Olog-haiEdited on 09/13/2013 1:02:20 PM PDT by Admin Moderator. [history]
A Hawaii womans last name is a real mouthful, containing 36 letters and 19 syllables in all. And its so long that she couldnt get a drivers license with her correct name.
The documents only have room for 35 characters, so Hawaii County instead issued her drivers license and her state ID with the last letter of her name chopped off. And it omitted her first name.
(Excerpt) Read more at hosted.ap.org ...
Kamanaiwanalaiya =
Come on I wanna LAY ya.
Try a few of these ...
Keihanaikukaua ...
That'll work
OUTRAGE...err, oh, right, it's being fixed. OUTRAGE that it was ever not able to handle vanity names of that length! (Now, watch the vanity names of 40 characters or more to start appearing...)
"....and do you pronounce the word on that sign 'pip a leen nie'?"
"No ma'am,... we pronounce that 'pipeline'."
She should stop whining and start selling vowels.
Problem solved.
Wordsmith.org: the magic of words
Anagrams for: Keihanaikukauakahihuliheekahaunaele
Input too long (35 letters).
The permitted input length (maximum 30 letters) varies depending on the server load. Currently it's limited to 28 letters.
DANG! Beat me to it ;)
She's become a vowel donor to needy children in Kyrgyzstan.
When will the lawsuit be filed?
Maybe she can marry a Bosnian guy that has hardly any vowels in his name, and together, they can forge a bright future.
Sounds like the name means rather the opposite - one who causes chaos and confusion....
The upside to this is that she'll never be the victim of identity theft.
Had a patient who just recently moved to Texas, when asked her street address pronounced it as "say-bine". So asked her to spell. Turns out it was Sabine so told her that now she was in Texas she needs to pronounce it "Sah bean". Thought about telling her about the word bayou but decided not to.
Let's see ...
Keihanaikukauakahihuliheekahaunael =
I can resist anything except temptation. — OW
No ... not quite, I'll solve this cryptoquote yet!
That's my maiden name, it is Scottish and I say it just like they do in New York AND Georgia. It's the Texans who say it wrong...4....3...2...1...
That's not as bad as a face that won't fit in the frame.
I believe Ed Sanders is trying to pronounce it at the beginning of this song...
I don't know. Has she decided yet? It is Hawaii, you know.
You should hear how the New Yorkers say "Houston". "
Well, bless their hearts they can't help it if they don't know how to pronounce things correctly. Probably because they never learned how to spell. OTOH they probably don't want to hear how we Texans say New York.
Always amazes me that most people pronounce both the first and last name of Whitney Houston correctly but when it comes to pronouncing our city, not so much.
Funniest one I heard - we have a huge cafeteria chain called Luby's (Loo bees). Gal who moved here from Wisconsin was talking about going to Lub ee's for lunch. We were rolling on the floor.
Hey, they've done it before.
That's funny - thanks for the education.
My son went to college at the University of Kansas. Three of his housemates were from Chicago. He did pick up some of their dialect and every now and then it pops up - like cur for car. One of my past bosses when I worked in Lake Charles, Louisiana, had lived his entire life in Cajun country. Took forever before I could understand him - and the buy you is only blue in Louisiana, in Texas it's buy oh - Cajun versus CW.
However, unlike most of us, she can safely use her last name as her computer password. What hacker would bother? What Nigerian schemer would fall for it?
In lake Charles now, I know a guy from up north trying to tell another guy directions to the airport. Told the guy to go down "gay-the-er" drive. I burst out laughing and corrected him. The street is spelled Gauthier, pronounced "Go-ché"
That is tooooo funny. In the early 1980's moved from Kansas to Lake Charles - talk about culture shock. I knew better than to try to pronounce anything for quite a while.
I offered to give a woman something long and hard last night. My last name!
There ain't no HOUSE in Houston!
There is no HUE in Houston, either.
In Scotland a house is pronounced hoos, and Houston is pronounced as hooston.
So properly you could call is Hooston, or HOUSeton, but nowhere should you be calling it HUEston.
It is "HUE" (or HUGH)
Does her dad have a drivers license? I think she made that name up
This is supposedly her married name. Which begs the question as to why this is not a problem for her husband, presuming he drives (he may not).
I'm telling you since it IS my name, that it is properly pronounced as Hooston. Since I was born Mormon I can tell you more about the genealogy than you would care to know.
I guess director John Huston got it wrong too!

Legal Professionals: Build Your Business

No way to tell because your question skips over he essence of defamation (untrue statements made with knowledge of the falsity) in favor of just declaring the events defamatory. The practical issue, though, assuming that the statments were defamatory is whether or not you are willing to spend money on an attorney to address the issue, as very few competent lawyers will take defamation cases on a contingent fee (paid by prcentage of the damages recovered) because they are unlikely to actually getpaid for the work needed to sue and get a judgment and such claims are not usually covered by insurance. If not, you may want to focus on other means of addressin this type of issue as I have seen this exact circumstance become an obsessiv Hatfield and McCoy battle that bankrupts both parties. If you are commited to doing something about it, however, the first test of that commitment will be the sacrifices YOU make to gather the funds to actually hire legal counsel.

49erlady posted a topic in Celiac Disease - Post Diagnosis, Recovery/Treatment(s)I have changed over much of my kitchen since my dx of Celiac. I have a Kitchen Aid mixer that I have had for many years. I am afraid to use it due to the possibility of cross contamination issues. The bowl and attachments are stainless steel and I know they can be sanitized but I'm concerned about the flour getting into the mechanism, such as where the attachments connect and the power lever. Is there a way I can clean it or will there always be a chance of cross contamination? or am I being way too paranoid??? Love my mixer but afraid to touch it....
49erlady replied to faithforlife's topic in Celiac Disease - Post Diagnosis, Recovery/Treatment(s)I was just dx with both Celiac Disease and Crohns on the same day. The dr told me they don't know of a def correlation but would not surprise him if the Celiac got so bad that it triggered the Crohns. However no way to tell. Balancing the two is going to be challenging but I will find a way. Long road ahead for me!
49erlady replied to ebpetite's topic in Celiac Disease - Coping WithI just found out about myself just a week ago and feel overwhelmed. My symptoms are more abdominal pain so I can't imagine how you feel. All I can say is that I'm going to look at this as a new opportunity to finally get healthy for life. I hope you get the support you need and find a way to put a positive spin on it. I know I will have low points along the way and will seek out support from you and others. I know you can do it. Life is not over for us , just a different lifestyle!
49erlady replied to 49erlady's topic in Celiac Disease - Post Diagnosis, Recovery/Treatment(s)Thank you all for the responses. Makes me feel better knowing I'm doing what's right for my health. My family is wonderful but they don't understand just how I'll it makes me feel. I hope they never do! Thanks for the coconut oil info. I will look into that.
49erlady posted a topic in Celiac Disease - Post Diagnosis, Recovery/Treatment(s)Just got diagnosed a week ago and doing my best to live gluten free. So much to learn! I was also dx with crohns at the same time which throws another wrench in my food as I have to eat bland foods, no fresh fruit or vegies right now either. Eventually as my crohns symptoms heal I'll be able to add food. However, right now it's frustrating. Getting pretty tired of scrambled eggs, chicken, rice, and potatoes. My family is wonderful and helping me out. However, Im feeling kinda out of control if that makes any sense. I am double checking everything they get for me that they believe are gluten free. I'm double washing my dishes because our dish washer its working right now. I don't want them to think i don't trust them or appreciate what they are doing. I just have this need to know what exactly is going into or touching my food. Am I over doing it? Or is this normal? Any good suggestions? Also, anyone else also dx with crohns?
49erlady replied to varthurs's topic in Celiac Disease - Post Diagnosis, Recovery/Treatment(s)I just had the endo done 2 weeks ago. It was a breeze! My test came back positive for Celiac disease. Good luck!

Description of this paper
"You have recently been hired as an equity analyst...
"You have recently been hired as an equity analyst by Wall Street Valuation Consultants and have been assigned the task of valuing the proposed acquisition described in the following press release: Houston, Texas (December 12, 2005) -- ConocoPhillips (NYSE: COP) and Burlington Resources Inc.

The transaction, upon approval by Burlington Resources shareholders, will provide ConocoPhillips with extensive, high quality natural gas exploration and production assets, primarily located in North America. The Burlington Resources portfolio provides a strong complement to ConocoPhillips' global portfolio of integrated exploration, production, refining, and energy transportation operations, thereby positioning the combined company for future growth. (Source: http://www.conocophillips.com/NR/rdonlyres/86E7B7A6-B953-4D0D-9B45-E4F1016DD8FD/0/cop_burlingtonpressrelease.pdf) In his letter to ConocoPhillips shareholders contained in the company's 2005 annual report, CEO Jim Mulva described the rationale for the proposed Burlington acquisition as follows: Burlington's near-term production profile is robust and growing, plus Burlington's possesses an extensive inventory of prospects and significant land positions in the most promising basins in North America, primarily onshore. With this access to high-quality, long-life reserves, the acquisition enhances our production growth from both conventional and unconventional gas resources. Specifically, our portfolio will be bolstered by opportunities to enhance production and gain operating synergies in the San Juan Basin of the United States and by an expanded presence and better utilization of our assets in Western Canada. In addition to growth possibilities, these assets also provide significant cash generation potential well into the future. Beyond adding to production and reserves, Burlington also brings well-recognized technical expertise that, together with ConocoPhillips' existing upstream capabilities, will create a superior organization to capitalize on the expanded asset base. We do not anticipate that the $33.9 billion acquisition will require asset sales within either ConocoPhillips or Burlington, nor should it change our organic growth plans for the company. We expect to achieve synergies and pretax cost savings of approximately $375 million annually, after the operations of the two companies are fully integrated. We anticipate immediate and future cash generation from this transaction that will aid in the rapid reduction of debt incurred for the acquisition and go toward the redeployment of cash into strategic areas of growth. Burlington shareholders will vote on the proposed transaction at a meeting on March 20, 2006. (Source: http://wh.conocophillips.com/about/reports/ar05/letter.htm) However, at an analysts' meeting, CEO Mulva hinted that the price ConocoPhillips paid for Burlington might be viewed as high by some: In terms of acquisitions, mergers and acquisitions, it really becomes more and more of a seller's market, and terms and conditions are not that attractive for buyer's. (Source: http://news.softpedia.com/news/ConocoPhillips-Plans-To-Acquire-Burlington-14628.shmtl) Your task is to answer the following basic question: Is Burlington Resources worth the $35.6 billion offered by ConocoPhillips? Although you are new to the exploration and production (E&P) industry, you have quickly learned that the method of multiples, or market-based com parables, and specifically the ratio of enterprise value (EV) to EBITDAX are typically used as benchmarks to value E&P companies. EBITDAX stands for "earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and exploration expenses." EBITDAX differs from EBITDA in that it adds back exploration expenses in addition to depreciation and amortization -- hence the term "EBITDAX." a) Using the method of multiples based on enterprise value to EBITDAX, the P/E ratio, and the enterprise value of EBITDA ratio, what should the acquisition price be for Burlington Resources shares?,Can you reference how you got the Enterprise Value for each of the companies?

The centrosome is essential for many cellular processes, including (i) formation of the mitotic spindle, (ii) cell polarity and asymmetric cell division, (iii) assembly of cilia and flagella, and (iv) suppression of parthenogenesis. In each case, strict control over centrosome biogenesis is required. The life cycle of the centrosome, from birth to death, is mechanistically not clear. Similar to the control of DNA replication, the centrosome copy number is highly regulated, and in cycling cells, the centrosome duplicates exactly once per cell cycle. During meiosis, the centrosome copy number is reduced (centriole degeneration) so that upon fertilization, the proper number can be restored. These patterns are conserved from algae to human. Centrosome amplification occurs frequently in almost all types of cancer. For example, centrosome amplification strongly correlates with loss of tumor suppressor proteins (such as p53 and pRB), and is induced after expression of viral oncoproteins (such as adenovirus E1A, HPV16 E6/E7, and human T-lymphotropic virus Tax proteins) [1]. The underlying mechanisms, however, are not known. The goal of my research is to understand how the centrosome number is maintained during cell division and development. We use several experimental systems to address this, including C. elegans, which provides strong genetic tools, Xenopus egg extracts, which allow detailed biochemical analysis, and tissue culture cells, which are relevant to our interest in understanding human centrosomes in normal cell division and in disease. The following two specific aims are proposed: 1) Determine the "licensing" mechanism for centrosome duplication. We have developed a powerful system using Xenopus egg extract and purified human centrosomes that recapitulates the centrosome duplication cycle in vitro. This has allowed us to determine that the licensing event for centrosome duplication occurs in anaphase, mediated in part by the separase protease. We now propose to identify additional players involved in the licensing process, examine their in vivo role in centrosome duplication, characterize the molecular nature of their action, and identify the relevant substrate(s) of separase involved in the process. 2) Determine the "blocking" mechanisms that prevent centrosome amplification There are at least three negative regulatory pathways work together to block centrosomes amplification in cells: 1) Centrosome-intrinsic block to re-duplication, 2) Suppression of de novo centrosome assembly, 3) Centrosome degeneration during sexual reproduction. We have developed an in vitro assay using Xenopus egg extracts to characterize proteins and activities that negatively regulate centrosome biogenesis.
Project Narrative The centrosome is the major microtubule organization center in most animal cells and strongly influences spindle assembly during mitosis. As a consequence, centrosome number is precisely regulated to ensure proper cell division. The goal of my research is to understand how the centrosome number is maintained during cell division and development.

You pay for your phone service. You have a right to the privacy of your number. The laws were changed about 2006 that wrecked that right to privacy, so that friends of "politicians in congress" could make money.

The State Council of Higher Education for Virginia (SCHEV) is the Commonwealth's coordinating body for higher education. The Private and Out-of-State Postsecondary Education (POPE) unit within SCHEV is responsible for authorizing post secondary educational institutions operating in Virginia. The POPE unit regulates degree-granting institutions as well as career-technical schools.
Public, in-state institutions are required to seek program approval from SCHEV. The Academic Affairs unit of the agency performs this function. There are no tribally-controlled institutions in Virginia. Religious institutions are granted an exemption from certification as long as they do not offer secular programs or degrees.
All out-of-state institutions (degree and non-degree granting) must be accredited by an accrediting agency recognized by the U.S. Department of Education at the time of its application for certification to be eligible to operate in Virginia. In-state, degree-granting institutions must obtain candidacy status towards accreditation within 3 years of initial certification and must be fully accredited within 6 years to retain eligibility for certification.
The accrediting agency must be recognized by the U.S. Department of Education.
Virginia Board of Nursing
All non-degree nursing programs that lead to licensure
Dr. Paula Saxby, Deputy Executive Director
The REGULATIONS GOVERNING CERTIFICATION OF CERTAIN
et.seq.) exempt the following:
1. Public state-supported
institutions 2. Religious institutions whose
primary purpose is to provide religious or theological education so long as
they do not award secular degrees. Exemptions are granted for a maximum of five
years, unless the school has been granted a standing exemption prior to July 1,
2002. 3. The following activities or
programs: a. The awarding of an honorary degree; b. Nursing education
program or curriculum regulated by the Board of Nursing; c. A professional or
occupational training program subject to the approval of (i) a regulatory board
pursuant to Title 54.1 or (ii) other state or federal governmental agency; d.
Courses or programs of instruction given by or approved by any professional
body, fraternal organization, civic club or benevolent order that are
principally for continuing or professional education; e. Courses or programs
offered through approved multistate compacts; f. Courses offered and
delivered solely on a contractual basis for which no individual is charged
tuition and for which there is no advertising for open enrollment; g. Any
school, institute or course of instruction offered by any trade association
related to the trade, business or profession represented by such association;
h. Tutorial instruction delivered and designed to supplement regular classes
for students enrolled in any public or private school or to prepare an
individual for an examination for professional practice or higher education.
4. In state institutions of higher education become exempt from
certification if they (i) were formed, chartered or established in the
Commonwealth, or chartered by an Act of Congress; (ii) have maintained a main
or branch campus continuously in the Commonwealth for at least 20 calendar
years under their current ownership; (iii) were continuously approved or
authorized to confer or grant academic or professional degrees by the Council,
by the Board of Education or by an act of the General Assembly during those 20
years; and (iv) are fully accredited by an accrediting agency that is
recognized by, and has met the criteria for Title IV eligibility of the United
States Department of Education.
There is an application for the religious exemption. Religious exempt schools must renew their
exemption every 5 years. Institutions that believe they are entitled to an
exemption under #3 above must request the exemption and provide reasoning for
the request.
Yes, religious institutions that wish to offer secular degrees are required to obtain a certificate to operate just as any other postsecondary institutions .
No, the institution must have physical presence in Virginia to be eligible for certification.
Pursuant to 8 VAC 40-31-120 (B) of the Virginia Administrative Code, a postsecondary school must become certified to operate in Virginia by the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia (SCHEV) prior to engaging in postsecondary educational activities via telecommunications, mail correspondence courses, or at a site within the Commonwealth. The certification of telecommunication activities or mail correspondence courses is based on physical presence within the Commonwealth.
The following link describes the policy: http://www.schev.edu/higherEd/pope/PolicyonOutofStateDistanceEd.pdf
If the server located in Virginia is the server by which instruction is initiated, this would be considered physical presence and the school would need to become certified to operate in Virginia. However, the institution would need to meet other criteria in order to be eligible to certify. A server alone is not sufficient.
Agent would be required to obtain agent permit, but school would not need to certify.
Any school interested in seeking certification to operate in Virginia must attend a
new school orientation prior to submitting an application for certification.
The application submission includes a detailed school plan, surety instrument,
financial projection analysis, administration and faculty qualifications and
student disclosure information. The school must successfully
complete a site visit before it is approved for operation. Final approval
is made by Council resolution.
Description of Application Process is available from following
link: http://www.schev.edu/highered/pope/NewSchool.asp.
New School application forms are available
online and are listed individually under Private
and Out-of-State Institutions athttp://www.schev.edu/schev/formsIndex.asp
Schools initial authorization is for one year. School must recertify annually.
Recertify annually and remain in compliance with regulations.
Schools must recertify annually and must provide information related to programs, enrollment, graduation, placement and most recently completed financial statement. All information is subject to Virginia Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).
If the school fails to recertify or is found to be out of compliance with regulations.
No, each institution must apply separately.
SCHEV will not entertain an application for certification from an institution that
has not had a representative attend a new school orientation session. A site
visit must be conducted before Council staff will submit the application for
Council approval. Final approval is granted at a Council meeting which
occur six times per year.
Yes. Degree-granting, $6,000; Non-degree granting, $2,500.
Schools must re-certify annually. The annual re-certification fee is based on gross tuition and ranges from $250 to $5,000 per branch operating in Virginia.
$300 for religious exemption and for agent permits. No other fees required for exemptions.
Virginia has passed legislation to allow reciprocity agreements and intends to join SARA in 2014.
The student must exhaust the school's grievance procedure prior to submitting a complaint to SCHEV.
Exempt institutions – yes; distance education schools with no physical presence in Virginia – no.
All complaints must be in writing and are sent via the online process above. We currently do not have an assigned person dedicated to handling complaints.
We send a letter to the institution and inform them of the requirement to certify. the school is given 30 days to sign up for new school orientation or to provide evidence for an exemption based on 8VAC 40-31-60. If the school does not respond, we issue a cease and desist letter and contact the Commissioner of the revenue in the municipality to request that the business licence be revoked.
If the school believes it should be exempt from certification and SCHEV staff does not agree, the school can appeal the decision. the process of appeal would follow the procedural rules found in (§§ 2.2-4019 through 2.2-4030 of the Code of Virginia) Under this process, the institution requests an informal fact finding conference which is presided over by a senior administrator of SCHEV. If the results of the informal conference go against the school, the institution can request a formal hearing which is presided over by a hearing officer selected from a list prepared by the Executive Secretary of the Supreme Court of Virginia.

Gigi Buffon made his comeback for Juventus, but was "angry for the result and the way we conceded" in the shock draw with Nordsjaelland. [12]
The Danish minnows had lost all their games in the Champions League so far without scoring a goal, but took the lead in tonight's 1-1 stalemate.
"I am angry for the result and the way we conceded the goal," snapped the 'keeper who has shaken off a thigh problem.
"We conceded a very avoidable free kick on the edge of the box and that was frankly the only way they could possibly score against us. The free kick was perfect and I couldn't do anything about it.
"The first half was balanced, but after the break there was only one team on the field. Never more than tonight was the result down to a single incident."
Juventus have now drawn all three Group E games and risk a first round exit from the Champions League. [13]
"There are no easy games in the Champions League and Nordsjaelland played on a par with Chelsea for almost 75 minutes," continued Buffon.
"Now we have to do everything possible to win the next few games."

Pueblo man, 25, gunned down in Bessemer front yard; woman arrested
Pueblo police are investigating an early morning shooting that left 25-year-old Eddie Johnson dead in the front yard of a Bessemer home Tuesday.
Pueblo County Coroner James Kramer said Johnson suffered multiple gunshot wounds and it appeared the fatal shot was to his chest.
However, nothing has been confirmed and an autopsy is pending.
Taria Wilhite-Moore, 21, was arrested around 7 a.m. on suspicion of first-degree murder following a SWAT operation at a home on the 2100 block of Vinewood Lane.
Pueblo police said they were called out to a home on the 2100 block of Cedar Street about 1:50 a.m., Tuesday to investigate the shooting.
When officers arrived, they found Johnson in the front yard of the home. Police said he died at the scene.
During their investigation, officers learned there had been a fight in the front yard involving several people before the gunshots were heard.
The police investigation led officers to 2122 Vinewood Lane.
Around 7 a.m., SWAT officers surrounded the home and eight people, including Wilhite-Moore, were removed from the home without incident.
She remains in Pueblo County jail on $1.5 million bail.
Police also said this is an ongoing investigation and anyone with information is encouraged to call the department at 553-2502 or Pueblo Crime Stoppers at 542-7867.

The fiscal condition of individual cities varies greatly depending on differences in local tax structure and reliance. While an overwhelming majority of cities have access to a local property tax, many are also reliant upon local sales taxes, and some cities (fewer than 10% nationally) are reliant upon local income or wage taxes.
Understanding the differing performance of these tax sources and the connections to broader economic conditions helps explain the forces behind declining city revenues (see Cities and State Fiscal Structure for additional information).

Feds seek to legalize marijuana industry banking
WASHINGTON — The Justice Department and federal banking regulators will help clear the way for financial institutions to transact business with the legitimate marijuana industry without fear of prosecution, Deputy Attorney General James Cole told Congress on Tuesday.
The issue has taken on greater urgency now that Colorado and Washington have become the first states to legalize recreational use of marijuana.
Currently, processing money from marijuana sales puts federally insured banks at risk of drug racketeering charges.
Because of the threat of criminal prosecution, financial institutions often refuse to let marijuana-related businesses open accounts. The problem occurs in states that have laws permitting medical use of marijuana. In 1996, California voters made their state the first to allow medical use, and 19 more states and the District of Columbia have enacted similar laws.
In an appearance before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Cole said the absence of banking services is one that "we need to deal with" and that "we're working on it."
The congressional hearing was the first since the administration announced a new, more permissive enforcement policy. On Aug. 29, the Justice Department announced that it won't try to stop Colorado and Washington state from legalizing recreational marijuana use as long as they implement strong enforcement systems. Marijuana is an illegal drug under federal law.
Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., said that as a result of the banking constraints, legitimate marijuana businesses are operating on a cash-only basis and "that's a prescription for problems, tax evasion" and other criminal activity. Cole agreed and said there is a public safety component to the problem because the cash-only business can result in the presence of guns.
In 2011, American Express announced it would no longer handle medical marijuana-related transactions because of fear of federal prosecution. A month later, Cole gave banks an explicit directive on medical marijuana that stated: "Those who engage in transactions involving the proceeds of such activity may also be in violation of federal money laundering statutes and other federal financing laws."
Leahy, who spent eight years as a prosecutor early in his career, said the Justice Department should focus on prosecuting violent crime and should respect the votes in Colorado and Washington to legalize small amounts of marijuana for personal and medical use.
Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley, the committee's top Republican and co-chairman of the Senate Caucus on International Narcotics Control, said the Justice Department is "giving the green light" to an industry bent on breaking federal law.
"When marijuana will be fully legal to buy, diversion of the drug will explode," nine former Drug Enforcement Administration chiefs said in a letter to Attorney General Eric Holder.
With the door to legalization open in two states, others could follow.
The 20,000-member Marijuana Policy Project says it will support efforts to end marijuana prohibition in 10 more states by 2017.
Associated Press writers Kristen Wyatt and Colleen Slevin in Denver contributed to this report.

Innovation:Where Creativity and Technology Meet.
Creativity meets technology
Innovation? Feds side with status quo
The same day President Obama called for innovative approaches to online education to save students' money, the Justice Department told Altius Education, an innovator in online education, that it is under investigation.
New frontiers for charters in 2013
Innovation is the theme of the 2013 Hopes, Fears & Reality report by the University of Washington's Center on Reinventing Public Education. Are charter leads fully using their autonomy to experiment with new ways to teach? asks Robin Lake.
It includes:
Charters Branch Out: Do Moves Into Affluent Areas Signal an Important Trend? Jeffrey Henig of Columbia University explores the issues around the growth of charter schools in suburban and affluent neighborhoods.
Incubate For America? Ethan Gray of the CEE-Trust examines a new breed of organizations—charter school incubators—emerging in cities across the U.S., bringing some private-sector strategies to the charter school start-up scene.
Tech-Based Learning: The New Frontier for Charters? Michael Horn of the Christensen Institute writes about charter schools in California that have innovated through technology and asks what it will take for more to follow nationwide.
To Survive, Charters Cannot Ignore the Bottom Line.Marguerite Roza of Georgetown University urges the charter sector to get innovative about designing a more sustainable cost structure.
How federal rules block innovation
Federal education funding is supporting the status quo, argues a new Center on Reinventing Public Education report, Federal Barriers to Innovation. Authors Raegen Miller and Robin Lake focus on Title I funding for disadvantaged students and IDEA funding for disabled students.
The Title I comparability loop hole, for instance, prevents districts from adopting promising new technology–based school models. If a district has a high-poverty school staffed with inexperienced, lower-paid teachers, and an affluent school of the same size staffed with the same number of more experienced, higher-paid teachers, those schools are considered to have comparable staffing levels. The loophole masks the true educational costs of schools, reinforces a traditional compensation system that favors tenure and post-graduate education, and prevents districts from differentiating pay in strategic ways.
IDEA's maintenance of effort requirement forces districts to keep spending money "without regard for its efficiency or effectiveness." That blocks innovative teaching methods and technologies.
Instead, IDEA needs a "challenge waiver" system, Miller and Lake write.
Districts could be granted waivers for the 100 percent spending threshold on special education and related services "provided they furnish a coherent, strategic special education plan documenting the rationale for a lower threshold." Such a system would encourage more data-driven decision-making, while random audits would ensure fidelity of implementation.
In addition, they call for "redirecting Title II funds (an amalgam of funding streams supporting ineffectual professional development and class-size reduction programs)" toward effective new instructional technologies.
Standards for quality of mind?
Marion Brady describes Eight problems with Common Core Standards (just to start with) on WashPost's Answer Sheet. Marc Tucker begs to disagree (he doesn't really beg) on Ed Week's Top Performers.
Standards shouldn't be attached to school subjects, but to the qualities of mind it's hoped the study of school subjects promotes.
. . . The world changes. The future is indiscernible. Clinging to a static strategy in a dynamic world may be comfortable, even comforting, but it's a Titanic-deck-chair exercise.
. . . The Common Core Standards assume that what kids need to know is covered by one or another of the traditional core subjects. In fact, the unexplored intellectual terrain lying between and beyond those familiar fields of study is vast, expands by the hour, and will go in directions no one can predict.
He adds: "No amount of schooling can effectively counter" childhood poverty, which is the main reason for poor school performance; the Common Core kills innovation and the standards will lead to "national standardized tests, tests that can't evaluate complex thought, can't avoid cultural bias, can't measure non-verbal learning, can't predict anything of consequence (and waste boatloads of money)." Also, the standards will "standardize" minds. Finally, the goal of "success in college and careers" is "pedestrian" at best. "The young should be exploring the potentials of humanness."
Tucker guesses that "qualities of mind" would include synthesizing material, analyzing, problem solving and writing. These are "grounded in the disciplines," he argues.
. . . the core academic disciplines (the core subjects in the school curriculum) provide the conceptual underpinning for deep understanding of virtually everything we want our students to know and further, that learning does not transfer easily or well, or sometimes at all, across those disciplines. . . . Like it or not, if we don't have standards for the disciplines, we will have no standards at all.
The world changes, Tucker concedes.But a solid foundation of knowledge will help today's kindergarteners learn and adapt throughout their lives.
It is hard to imagine that, by some time next year, arithmetic will be obsolete, along with ratio and proportion. Or that it will be unnecessary to be able to write a short essay that clearly and concisely expresses a few key ideas. Or that no citizen of this country will need to know anything about the history of the development of freedom and the conditions under which it thrives and perishes. Or that the earth revolves around the sun . . .
The Common Core Standards don't try to cover everything a teacher might want to teach or a student might want to learn, Tucker adds. The point is to "define a much smaller core that all teachers should teach and all students should learn."
Should we focus more on poverty? OK, writes Tucker. But when there are no or low standards for low-income students, they're taught less and learn less.
What Brady calls "innovation," Tucker calls "chaos."
Here is what the research shows about what happens when teachers are free to "innovate" in this way: the teacher in any given grade, having incoming students who have been taught by many teachers, some of who have taught a given topic at length, others who have taught it only superficially, and still others who have taught it not at all, start at the beginning, at the introductory level for this topic. . . . Researchers, when asking students what they are doing as late as February, are told that, "we are reviewing last year."
Bad tests? Nothing in the standards calls for tests to be designed badly, Tucker writes.
Standardized minds?
There is not a country that has consistently high student performance that does not have some form of student achievement standards.
Finally, Tucker defends the "pedestrian" goals of career and college readiness, rather than exploring the "potentials of humanness."
Fewer than 20 percent of any given cohort of students entering the ninth grade end up with a 2-year degree or certificate within four years of entering postsecondary education or getting a 4-year degree with 6 years of entering postsecondary education. I'm all for the "potentials of humanness", but the American people are hurting, the American standard of living is falling and the American economy is suffering because we are wasting the potential of our students by failing to give them the skills they need to make a decent living.
While I have concerns about Common Core Standards, I'd be a lot more worried about schools devoted to instilling "qualities of mind" and "humanness" but no particular set of knowledge and skills.
BTW, here's ACT on Rising to the Challenge of College and Career Readiness.
Test-crazy China seeks innovators
China's education system turns out students who are great at memorizing but not at thinking, writes Helen Gao, who moved from China to the U.S. for her senior year of high school.
In 2010, an international standardized test found that junior high school students in Shanghai had outperformed their peers in rest of the world in math, science, and reading, beating the U.S. averages by a wide margin. . . . (The) nine-year compulsory education system, installed in 1986, has boosted the country's literacy rate to around 92 percent (it was 67 percent as of 1980) and prepared millions of eligible young people for the rapidly expanding workforce. Now, however, as the economy shows signs of cooling, Chinese leaders are trying to engender more domestic innovation.
They hope to see an educated workforce, rather than toiling on factory floors or sitting in the cubicles of Western companies' Chinese branches, found their own businesses or brands that will sell to domestic as well as international buyers. They want domestic moviegoers to stop purchasing bootleg DVDs of Western blockbusters, and for foreign viewers to start raving about Chinese films. But the nation's education system, instead of channeling the youthful energy of China's next generation, seems to be blocking it.
. . . new research by the workplace manager Regus shows that Chinese employers are now favoring graduates with internship experience, winning personalities and foreign language skills. Just 9 percent of employers, especially at large companies, now put educational background as the top priority in hiring.
That probably means acing the gao kao, getting into a prestigious university and offering experience, personality and language skills.
Creativity isn't learned in class
Japanese visitors asked Fordham's Mike Petrilli how the U.S. produces innovative leaders like Bill Gates, Steve Jobs or Mark Zuckerberg.
It's not a school thing, he replies. It's an after-school thing. While Japanese adolescents are going to cram school, American kids are doing "sports, music, theater, student council, cheerleading, volunteering, church activities, and on and on."
If you are looking for sources of innovative thinking, leadership and teamwork skills, competitiveness, and creativity, aren't these better candidates than math class?
Or course, some "are just hanging out, smoking pot, getting in trouble, etc.," Petrilli writes. But "some of these young people end up creating successful start-ups too!"
And then there's the American parenting style. U.S. parents don't teach their children self-discipline and delayed gratification, asserts Pamela Druckerman in Bringing up Bebe.
This, she suggests, fosters out-of-control toddlers and may lead to serious problems down the road, particularly for kids growing up in neighborhoods where community bonds have frayed.
On the other hand, by allowing our young to negotiate endlessly with us and stand up for what they want, we are also teaching them a form of self-assuredness. Treating little kids as equals might wreak havoc in the short term, but it's possible that it creates non-hierarchical, confident, transformational leaders in the long run.
Certainly, Steve Jobs exemplified the brilliant brat, but I'm not sure that self-discipline and creativity are antithetical.
Critical thinkers who don't criticize
NYC Educator headlines this Innovation in the Era of Evaluation.
Employers see higher ed as costly, stodgy
The nation's higher education system is costly, unaccountable and unwilling to change, say business leaders interviewed for a Public Agenda report.
For-profit colleges whose students are eligible for federal aid charge 75 percent more than for-profits that don't participate in aid programs, a new study finds. That confirms a theory that increasing student aid leads to increases in tuition.
Urban superintendents collaborate with charters
More than 20 urban districts have adopted a "portfolio" strategy, holding district-run and independent charter schools to the same performance standards, reports Hopes, Fears, & Reality, the Center on Reinventing Education's 2011 charter school review.
In 16 cities, leaders have pledged to work together for student success by "creating common student enrollment systems, sharing facilities, equalizing funding, encouraging teachers and principals to share instructional strategies, and sharing responsibility for students with special needs."
"Urban school superintendents across the country are realizing that a centrally delivered, one-size-fits-all approach simply is not viable, and that they need partnerships to bring in entrepreneurial talent and mission-driven teams," writes editor Robin Lake.
Charters are expanding in rural areas, small towns and small states; and are serving a growing share of Hispanic and low-income students. Free-standing charter schools are growing faster than those run by charter management organizations.
Collaboration can sap charters' ability to innovate, warn several analysts in the commentary section.
Don't assume that practices and routines that "work" for one school will work everywhere, warns Rick Hess.
As I see it, the real power of charter schooling is that it presents "greenfield" in which new cultures and models can be established on fresh turf, rather than painfully injected into resistant, calcified systems. The closer charters start to work with existing districts, the more they seem bound to import norms, expectations, and routines from those systems.
Charter success 2.0 will require rethinking "long-held assumptions about the shape of teaching and schooling," he writes. "Linking charters more closely to entrenched systems threatens to make that process less likely."
