Feedback for learning is a matter of communication, consistency, and tone, all driven by and for assessment practice.
News that millions of students who took the PARCC exams on computers tended to score worse than those who took the tests on paper raises an important question:
Do the computer-based exams that are increasingly prevalent in K-12 measure the same things as more traditional paper-based tests?
Read Education Week's coverage: PARCC Scores Lower for Students Who Took Exams on Computer
Broadly speaking, it's a dilemma that researchers and psychometricians have been wrestling with for at least the past 20 years, said Derek Briggs, a professor of research and evaluation methodology at the University of Colorado at Boulder.
"But it's really hit within the last two years, with Smarter Balanced and PARCC and even states that are going online with their own versions [of those exams]," said Briggs, who serves on the technical advisory committees for both the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers and the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium, both of which created exams aligned with the new Common Core State Standards that were administered over multiple states during the 2014-15 school year.
On one hand, Briggs noted, computer- and paper-based versions of an exam shouldn't necessarily be expected to measure the same things, or have comparable results. Part of the motivation for pouring hundreds of millions of federal dollars into the new consortia exams, after all, was to use technology to create better tests that elicit more evidence of students' critical thinking skills, ability to model and solve problems, and so forth.
I recently availed myself of the chance to join and learn from many of the leading innovators and thinkers in the emerging blockchain industry at the Chamber of Digital Commerce's DC Blockchain Summit 2016, which billed itself (accurately, I think) as "a dialogue at the intersection of industry, regulation, and innovation." The event had a strong financial services theme, although I met audience members engaged in a wider array of fields (including healthcare and social media). Given the growing interest in the topic and recent blockchain-related announcements specific to education by organizations such as Sony, MIT Media Lab, and the Holberton School – to say nothing of the visions advanced by BadgeChain, the KnowledgeWorks Foundation, and Learning is Earning 2026 – I thought it might spur some interesting dialogue if I took the time to share my current musings on the topic. To that end (and based on my DC Blockchain Summit experience), here is my current list of the top 10 things to know about the future of blockchain in education.
As you can see, cost of living is an important consideration. Also, you don't need to move to San Francisco to get a good job as a software engineer (thought there are a lot of prestigious jobs there…
Jade Davis argues for ed tech design that considers underprivileged students in public universities and community colleges.
Social movements are critical agents of change that vary greatly in both tactics and popular support. Prior work shows that extreme protest tactics – actions that are highly counter-normative, disruptive, or harmful to others, including inflammatory rhetoric, blocking traffic, and damaging property – are effective for gaining publicity. However, we find across three experiments that extreme protest tactics decreased popular support for a given cause because they reduced feelings of identification with the movement. Though this effect obtained in tests of popular responses to extreme tactics used by animal rights, Black Lives Matter, and anti-Trump protests (Studies 1-3), we found that self-identified political activists were willing to use extreme tactics because they believed them to be effective for recruiting popular support (Studies 4a & 4b). The activist's dilemma – wherein tactics that raise awareness also tend to reduce popular support – highlights a key challenge faced by social movements struggling to affect progressive change.
"Technology is only going to get better. The reality of search engines is that our students will have access to them for their entire lives and probably in their pocket. At the moment they are wondering something they will have the ability to look it up. This reality redefines what we do in the classroom.
"What students need to know how to do is to search well.
How to find information.
Critically evaluate if it is good information.
Use information from one search to initiate another search in order to refine their search.
Utilize critical thinking skills in order to arrive at the answer.
Be able to support their answers with their research"
Jim Lerman's insight:
Excellent post on how to get students into searching with skill. Well worth reading and trying...even if your students think they're pretty good at it. Keeler emphasizes programs published by Google and Bing.
This first lesson stands out from all of the others in this series both because it speaks to a different part of your experience than most of them will, and because it was one of the most important ones for me personally. During the majority of my first internship, and for a decent part of each of the following two, I felt like I was hired by mistake. I felt like I didn't really know what was going on, and that I didn't have what it takes to be in the position I was in. Now I know that most people feel that way. This is called Impostor Syndrome.
"Impostor Syndrome is that feeling you have when you feel like you're a fraud. When you feel like one day someone's going to find you out. When they're going to tap you on the shoulder and say "Hey you! You don't know what you're doing here. Get out!"
"If you haven't heard of impostor syndrome before, I recommend watching Maryam Pasha's TEDx Talk: Impostor Syndrome: Talking about our shared secret. I hadn't heard about it until I heard Julie Pagano speak at CUSEC 2015."
Jim Lerman's insight:
Dealing with "Imposter Syndrome" is something we all have to encounter at one time or another. Most often, it seems to occur when one is beginning something new -- a school, a job, a relationship, or many other things.
The prospect of automation taking away human jobs is both alarming and an opportunity to reorient our civilization to new objectives. The worrying part is that a sizable number of jobs, both blue and white collar, might be gone soon - a number that some estimates put as high as 47% during the next 25 years.
How will we adjust to this transformation? How will the people without jobs survive? Some ideas, floated by people like Elon Musk, see the necessity of instituting a universal basic income. Another approach was just proposed by Bill Gates, one of the original tech superstars and prognosticators, who also happens to be the world's richest man. In an interview with Quartz, Bill Gates explained his view that as robots will be taking human jobs, a "robot tax" will be necessary on the companies that employ them.
Gates sees this as a positive development, because the tax would fund jobs that do not receive enough focus and talent currently, including elderly care and working with kids. These types of jobs that require empathy are better left to the humans. The government would run such programs. Gates thinks business cannot be left to manage this because growing "inequity" due to automation can only be addressed via the government.
The extreme racial homogeneity in the rarefied realm of young math wizards has drawn little attention in a nation where racial equality in the basic institutions of civic life — schools, housing, health care, policing — remains elusive. But it has become an increasing source of consternation for some mathematicians, educators and business leaders, who see it directly linked to the striking underrepresentation of blacks and Latinos in high-paying, high-status jobs in finance, science and technology. As those occupations increasingly propel our society, they fear that enrichment programs for mathematically gifted children, while rooted in meritocratic ideals, have become a particularly potent means of reinforcing privilege.

For years, Finland has been the by-word for a successful education system, perched at the top of international league tables for literacy and numeracy.
Pasi Silander, the city's development manager, explained: "What we need now is a different kind of education to prepare people for working life.
"Young people use quite advanced computers. In the past the banks had lots of bank clerks totting up figures but now that has totally changed.
"We therefore have to make the changes in education that are necessary for industry and modern society."
Subject-specific lessons – an hour of history in the morning, an hour of geography in the afternoon – are already being phased out for 16-year-olds in the city's upper schools. They are being replaced by what the Finns call "phenomenon" teaching – or teaching by topic. For instance, a teenager studying a vocational course might take "cafeteria services" lessons, which would include elements of maths, languages (to help serve foreign customers), writing skills and communication skills.
More academic pupils would be taught cross-subject topics such as the European Union - which would merge elements of economics, history (of the countries involved), languages and geography.
This is what school librarians have been doing forever!
The world around us is not labelled or divided in categories, then why is academic content? Can we not relate topics and elaborate meaning on the basis of relationships and intertwined data?
I wonder if this would work in the U.S.? Also, in Finland, students do not take standardized tests until the end of high school (Zhao, 2012, p. 111), so thankfully, perhaps the drill and kill process is diminished.

The Federal Communications Commission on Friday rescinded its own report documenting the success of the E-rate program, a multi-billion dollar FCC-led initiative that has helped tens of thousands of schools and libraries obtain high-speed internet access.
The report will have "no legal or other effect or meaning going forward," according to the commission's order.
The move prompted sharp criticism from education and open-government groups—and a warning from Florida Sen. Bill Nelson.
"While new FCC leadership may have new policy directions, the public record should not be permanently altered," the American Library Association said in a statement.
"We urge the reversal of the retraction decisions and an agreement that the FCC will not order the removal of any other documents from the public record."
The report was released on January 18, just two days before former FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler, a Democrat who oversaw major changes to the E-rate program during his tenure, stepped down.
Today, Second Life is mostly forgotten by the broader public. An estimated 800,000 users are active on a monthly basis, according to Second Life parent company Linden Lab. That's tiny compared to the 1.86 billion users who are active on Facebook each month.
"Yet some communities have quietly continued to thrive in the virtual world. One of these is the disability community, a sundry group whose members include people who are blind or deaf, people with emotional handicaps such as autism and PTSD, and people with conditions that limit their mobility, such as Parkinson's, cerebral palsy, and multiple sclerosis. There are no official tallies of their numbers, but Wagner James Au, who has written extensively about Second Life, estimates they may account for roughly 20 percent of users. Some active members estimate the number higher — at as much as 50 percent.
"Unlike traditional gaming, Second Life is governed by few rules. Residents can customize their avatars in an infinite number of ways. They can fly and teleport as easily as they can walk, run, and jump. They can build bespoke homes and islands almost from scratch, and buy and sell wares in virtual stores — from biker gear to bird song to the ability to swim like a mermaid. They can marry a Second Life lover, take a rocket to the moon, or simply tuck themselves into bed at night.
"For many disabled residents, who may spend 12 hours a day or more in Second Life, the most important moments and relationships of their lives happen inside the virtual world. For them, the fevered fantasies of a decade ago have become reality: Second Life is where they live."

As humans in this century, some of the most important byproducts of our existence is the information produced and stored in our emails, notes, and messages. And make no mistake about it: this information belongs to you, and to no one else. You can join the fight for a balanced control of power by using and supporting applications that strive for privacy first and foremost.
8 apps for everyday use that put privacy first. -JL
The Real World
I often hear the justification of preparing students for the real world as a rationale for doing something. There is a lot of picking and choosing going on as to what real world skills we are going to expose students to. Sitting in a chair all day doing paperwork is not really preparing students for the future. Helping students to be creative critical thinkers does. In the real world, collaboration and the ability to get along with a team is a highly valued skill, so why so many individual assignments? Following directions does not create leaders, freelancers or entrepreneurs but we need our students to be ready for those things. In the future jobs that follow directions are replaced by robots. RIGHT NOW if you call for an uber in some cities a self-driving car will come pick you up. Instead of an explicit list of directions, consider an open-ended challenge.
Digital Literacy
It is not a matter of preference, students MUST be digitally literate. It is absolutely every single one of our jobs to help prepare students for living in a world that interacts digitally. Does this mean every assignment should be digital, absolutely not. Use Glitter. However, with each lesson plan should we not be considering how we are increasing digital literacy? We may decide this lesson/activity is not enhanced by tech, but many can be! How many people do you know use a FitBit to enhance their physical activity?
Choose Modern Skills
Uh huh, maybe on some alternate planet one day one of the students in my class might find a need for making a brochure. We can always find a justification for why "cursive" is still relevant (it's not). Sure there are some instances where that skill could maybe possibly be used some day.. because just in case there is a nuclear explosion and my calculator can not graph a parabola for me I better know how to do it by hand.
If you're going to spend time having kids do a skill, do one that will be useful 20 years from now, not 20 years ago.
In the real world, students need to know how to analyze data not make brochures.
The activities I did when I was a student are for the most part OUTDATED! That world does not exist anymore. I used to have an encyclopedia at my house, that I never used. However, daily I use Google to look stuff up. Looking stuff up is part of the modern culture. Expect kids CAN and SHOULD find information without you telling it to them. Design for it. Teach them how to do advanced search. We can not just loose kids on the Internet. Do not assume they know how to find, skim, filter and analyze information. It is important we help students learn this.
Collaborative Spreadsheet of Ideas
So if a brochure is outdated, what should we do instead?
Jim Lerman's insight: Keeler is on a real tear these days; another outstanding post -- as told only by someone who is really doing the work and willingly trying to help lead her peers.
Every fortnight I curate some of the observations and insights that were shared on social media. I call these Friday's Finds. I am finishing three weeks in Europe so many of these posts reflect the interactions I had in Copenhagen, London, and Antwerp.
@umairh: "Fascism counts on you. Not on your support. But on your denial."
@meacoopa: "every liberal democracy realizes early on there are some positions which must prima facie be aggressively excluded from public discourse … Fascism wriggles into democracies by insisting on the right to be heard, achieves critical mass, then dissolves the organs that installed it."
@dabeard: "No science, no evidence, no truth, no democracy"
@SwiftonSecurity: "Trust me – modern information systems are a panopticon you are not qualified to defeat alone. Journalists are a very valuable resource here."
@yonatanzunger: "Something you can do: Write down what happens in the news every day. Keeping a notebook helps remember, see trends, avoid gaslighting."
Seth Godin: "Blogging is free. What matters is the meta-cognition of thinking about what you're going to say…" via @dorait
The Internet of Cities, via @HelenBevan [I had the pleasure of meeting Helen for the first time this week]
"Most national governments now face an existential battle on two fronts: protecting themselves from their own disgruntled populations, and defending against foreign governments vying for power in the next wave of global dominance. It's as though we're in one big Mexican standoff between every country and religion and tribe in the world, all pointing guns at each other while we wait for the next big shoe to drop. That's how Russia, though economically beleaguered and globally isolated, has found itself so powerful suddenly — it's a good time to be a chaos agent."

U.S. General Services Administration Meredith Parker and Ben Williams GSA May 15-17, 2012 FSSI: Overview on the new Print Management Program
Commodity Team and Program Development For over a year, 24 agencies worked together in a cross- agency Commodity Team to develop a program to improve government procurement and use of print devices. 2
Members of Commodity Team Defense Logistics Agency Department of Agriculture Department of Commerce Department of Defense Department of Energy Department of Homeland Security Department of Justice Department of Labor Department of State Department of Transportation Department of the Treasury Department of Veterans Affairs Executive Office of the President Environmental Protection Agency Federal Aviation Administration Food and Drug Administration General Services Administration Health and Human Services Internal Revenue Service National Aeronautics and Space Administration Office of Federal Procurement Policy Office of Management and Budget Peace Corps Small Business Administration 3
The Commodity Team finalized a multi- dimensional Print Management Strategy PrintWise Awareness Campaign Government-wide campaign to enable federal employees to make better print decisions Acquisition Optimization Leverage federal volume to drive discounts Improve agency visibility into Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) Continuous Improvement Drive the long-term evolution of the Federal government toward a paperless environment 4
Print Management Program Objectives To assist agencies with a holistic print management process that includes fleet assessment, device plus and changing print behaviors To lower lifecycle cost for multi-function and print devices and services To collect spend data to monitor future federal government-wide printing costs To drive sustainable printing solutions 5
Print Management Program Overview Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs) against which agencies will compete task orders Schedule 36 (Office Imaging and Document Solutions) Allows agencies to choose a course of action based on their existing knowledge of spend data BPA pricing reflects Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) pricing per volume band All pricing methodologies are offered: purchase, lease, flat-rate, cost-per-copy, short-term rental 6
Best practices for cost reduction – Printers, copiers & multi-function devices 7
Overview of the Components of the BPAs The FSSI BPAs are organized into two separate components: Functional Area 1: Fleet Assessment Functional Area 2: Device Plus and Customizable Solutions Two additional components are targeted for FY2012: Functional Area 3: Management of Existing Devices Functional Area 4: Combination of Assessment, Management and Device Purchase 8
Understanding Functional Area I: Fleet Assessment Purpose: To assist agencies in gaining insight into what, where and why print costs are occurring and to assist in developing a plan to reduce those costs Historical analysis of fleet costs (hardware, software, network capabilities, imaging output, imaging costs) Establishment of cost baselines On-going data collection and analysis Recommendations for asset rationalization, re-deployment and overall optimization Vendor neutral device recommendations based on work flow and business needs 9
Understanding Functional Area II: Device Plus Offers aggressively priced life-cycle costs for a wide range of new multi-function devices (MFDs) and single-function network printers (NPs) The devices are packaged with consumables, excluding paper, and maintenance agreements, enabling the device to be operated at a 95% uptime rating, in accordance with its corresponding volume band over an identified period of time The purpose of combining all life-cycle cost drivers into one award package is to position the government to start reducing the cost of imaging output over time 10
Available multi-function devices and single- function network printers There are four primary categories of devices available under the FSSI BPAs: Black and White (B&W) MFDs Color MFDs B&W single-function NPs Color NPs 11
Available multi-function devices and single function network printers Available MFD brands include: Canon, HP, Konica Minolta, Lexmark, Ricoh, Sharp, Xerox, and Toshiba Available NP brands include: HP, Lexmark, and Xerox Available devices range from small workgroup solutions to high-speed, light production devices with extensive finishing capabilities 12
Understanding Functional Area II: Device Plus Customizable Solutions Solutions for agencies who require a subset of the services offered through the Device Plus solution Vendors are not required to collect and report usage data if agencies use the solution to acquire a device only Any orders for customized solutions will require notification to the BPA Contracting Officer 13
What is Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)? 15
FSSI BPA pricing is significantly lower than the current government average Cost-per-page Government price across all price categories Current average- $.067 FSSI BPA cost-per-page pricing by device category Black & White NP - $.02 Color NP- $.07 Black & White MFD - $.01 Color MFD - $.035 16
Key sustainability features of the Print Management Program Reduced Energy Consumption & Carbon Emissions Energy Star and efficiency All devices must be Energy STAR certified and energy consumption will be considered when devices are evaluated Minimum EPEAT rating thresholds Improved device energy settings Required optimized default settings for use of sleep mode Reduced device footprint 17
Key sustainability features of the Print Management Program Improved Recyclability & End of Life Management Recycled content requirement Device disposal in an environmentally-friendly manner Reduced paper consumption Default duplex printing requirement Separate Green machine CLIN For devices that demonstrate the most advanced sustainability technologies 18
PrintWise: Awareness Campaign Seven change management guidelines are provided to agencies to drive cost savings Seven Steps to Lowering Print Costs Within 90 Days Savings Calculator The Commodity Team has developed a tool to enable agencies to track the savings driven by these guidelines 19
PrintWise: Awareness Campaign -The seven change management steps fall into three categories CategoryGuideline Changes to Device SettingsDefault use of duplex (two-sided) printing Default use of black and white printing Default use of draft quality printing Improved use of sleep mode Changes to End User ApplicationsDefault use of toner-efficient fonts Changes to Print FleetRemoval of existing personal printers Purchase freeze of new personal printers
PrintWise: Awareness Campaign Overall savings/sustainability potential Potential savings up to $330M Up to 550,000 trees saved per year Annual carbon reduction equivalent of up to 50,000 cars being taken off the road 21
Long-term evolution of a low-print environment 22
Resources for additional information 23 http://strategicsourcing.gov/ http://strategicsourcing.gov/pcmfd
Governance and collaboration Strategic Sourcing Working Group Oversight of FSSI Projects Approves FSSI strategies Works in conjunction with OMB to review agency usage of FSSI Agency Commodity Team Will continue to work on additional features of Print Management Assists with acquisition usage and print behavioral campaign 24
Governance and collaboration Agency Champion Council Comprised of Agency Champions who meet quarterly to provide feedback on the print management initiative, discussing ongoing issues, best practices, acquisition usage, and the implementation of print behavioral changes Industry Advisory Council Comprised of one representative from each awarded industry partner, meeting quarterly with the Print Management Office to provide feedback on the print management initiative, discussing ongoing issues, best practices and acquisition related questions 25
Benefits of using the BPAs The availability of a fleet assessment and needs analysis Easy access to a wide range of printers, copiers, and multi- function devices that meet federal security and sustainability requirements with the lowest Total Cost of Ownership Consolidation of print devices, consumables, and all related services into a one-stop shop to increase management visibility and control Collection and analysis of spend and print usage data to identify savings from improving print management behaviors Flexibility in applying these improvements to specific locations or across entire bureaus and agencies 26

Twitter has decided not to stop the Vine service since it has received a lot of applications on its purchase. The Company expects to conclude an appropriate transaction in the near future. This information was reported by TechCrunch citing its sources.
At the moment, Twitter has reduced the number of potential buyers to only five. The interested companies are still not revealed, except the Japanese company named Line.
One source also stated that several entities consider buying the service for less than $10 billion.
It is assumed that Twitter will be able to benefit from the Vine service, even with the new owner by means of synchronization between applications. Earlier it was reported that Twitter plans to close Vine mobile application in the upcoming months.
Google has redesigned Gmail app for iOS and added some new features to it. The company also updated the calendar for iOS.
The new features in Gmail are as follows:
• the option to cancel a message.
• faster search due to its instant results and spelling hints option.
• the ability to put a message in the archive or delete it by swiping it left or right.
New Calendar features:
• Support for the built-in Spotlight search. Now users can search with the help of events, reminders and goals in the Calendar.
• Support for alternative calendars such as lunar, Islamic and Vedic. Along with these calendars you can also see the current calendar.
• View your weekly and monthly schedule in landscape orientation.
It should be recalled that Google Gmail updated its design for iOS last time for almost four years ago back in December 2012.
Google starts testing mobile-first index. It means that in the near future, the search algorithms will be primarily assessed by the relevance of a mobile version of the page and alternatively by the desktop. This information was published in the company's blog.
Today more and more people are searching through mobile devices. However, Google's ranking system continues evaluating the relevance of the desktop version of the page.
In order to make the search results more useful Google started testing mobile-first index. Although the search index will remain united, eventually Google's ranking algorithms will primarily evaluate the mobile version of the page.
In the coming months Google will experiment the updated index with some users. Having finished the testing, the system will be launched around the world.
Despite the fact that the process of transition to mobile-first index is only on its way to be introduced to the public, Google has prepared several recommendations for the webmasters:
• If your website is configured as an adaptive or dynamic display design, in which the main content and layout are identical for both mobile and desktop devices, no changes to be applied in this case
• If a website configuration requires different content for mobile and desktop devices, it is necessary to perform the following changes:
o Make sure that the structured markup is used in mobile and desktop website version.
o Check the equivalence of micro markup on both desktop and mobile version using the structured Google data testing tool.
o By adding structured data on the mobile website, you should avoid including a large number of micro markup, which is not relevant to a specific content of each document.
o Use a robots.txt file verification tool to verify that the mobile version of the site is accessible to Googlebot.
o It is not necessary to apply changes to the canonical URL. Google will keep considering these attributes to display matching results to mobile and desktop users.
• If you have confirmed only the desktop version of the website in the Search Console, you should also add the mobile resource version.
• If you have only got a desktop website, Google will go on indexing it, even if the mobile user agent is used to view the resource.
• You should keep in mind that when creating a mobile version a functional, focused on desktop website is much better than an incomplete or non-mobile version. Please launch the mobile version only when it is completely ready to use.
As it was already stated earlier Google will launch a separate mobile code and make it the primary in the coming months. Now it turned out that the index will remain the same for all types of documents.
79% of search engine users say they always/frequently click on the natural search results. In contrast, 80% of search engine users say they occasionally/rarely/never click on the sponsored search results.
Facebook and other social media sites ranked as the second most effective marketing method among US small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) surveyed in January 2015. (Source: eMarketer)
Changing search algorithms (40%) and budget constraints (38%) are considered the most challenging obstacles to SEO success. (Source: Marketing Charts)

Already, there were 19 incidents last year in which planes flew too close to one another in the skies above the New York metropolitan region, which includes Newark and Teterboro airports. There were 20 such incidents in 2001 and 24 in 2002, according to a report in The Record of Bergen County.
Federal Aviation Administration officials said the incidence of what it calls "loss of separation" is low when compared to the total number of aircraft operations handled by the regional monitoring centers — about 2 million per year.
"When you put it in context to the total number of operations, statistically it represents a very small number," FAA Eastern Region spokesman Jim Peters told The Record.
Russ Halleran, an air traffic controller at Newark Airport, held a different viewpoint.
"The flying public is not aware," he said. "It is not a safe thing. We are not here blowing smoke. The FAA says everything is OK. Everything is not OK. We are kind of in a state of chaos at the moment."
Many air traffic control towers are understaffed and relying on overtime to do the job. At Newark, the tower is designed to have 40 controllers available but has only 34.
President George W. Bush has proposed cutting 13% from the Federal Aviation Administration's budget for upgrading air traffic control equipment. A new tower opened at Newark last year, but towers at La Guardia and Teterboro airports need to be rebuilt. Construction at La Guardia is scheduled to begin later this year, but could be affected if the reduced budget is approved.
The FAA is also proposing next year to tighten the spacing between in-air jets in order to get more planes in the sky and cut down on departure delays. Planes flying between 29,000 feet and 41,000 feet would need to have a vertical distance of 1,000 feet between them instead of the current 2,000 feet.
Pilots and controllers said the tighter spacing won't have a great effect at cruising altitude, but could make for more congestion on approaches and landings. FAA officials said they would hold traffic at the higher altitudes if there wasn't enough space below.
Halleran was skeptical that the new regulations could increase the number of planes landing in Newark, which currently can handle about 120 per hour.
"A lot of these airplanes at Newark are rolling down the runway and that next guy is right up your rear end," he said. "They are not going to be able to get threefold more airplanes into Newark. That's not going to happen."

Walkthrough: Dead Rising 2: Case 5
Welcome back to Walkthrough, I'm your guide through the world of Dead Rising 2, Slices of Life. On this issue of Walkthrough, Chuck has been through a lot so far. Leads followed only to vanish in smoke, questions without answers, foiling vault heists, and delivering comeuppance to some annoying characters. But now to catch the head of the snake, we're going after TK himself.
Day 3, 7:00 PM. You need to be on the Safe House Roof at this time to start this case. To get to the roof from where you enter the Safe House, go up the stairs as you normally would, turn left and follow the hall to the end, going to the staircase leading up. The elevator is at the end, press the elevator call button, go inside and press the button to get to the roof.
When it begins, Chuck and Rebecca take turns looking through a pair of binoculars over the Fortune City Skyline. After some time passes, Chuck spots a helicopter landing on the roof of the Fortune City Hotel.
Case 5-2. Once you've regained control and you have empty inventory spaces with all the needed food and weapons you want, fill those spaces with nearby spotlights...I'm not kidding, you'll need them. Head back down the elevator and make your way to the Fortune City Hotel.
When you get there, four Mercs will be shooting nearby zombies while guarding the elevators. Once you've taken care of them, the elevator will ding and open up to reveal the fifth Merc. After he's dealt with, you can head up to fight TK. If you need health or healing items, there's one or two Coffee Creamers behind the Hotel's Reception Desk.
On the roof, TK barks orders to his men when he sees Chuck arrive. He decides to make a run for it. Grabbing a nearby winch, Chuck runs up and hooks it to the helicopter in time, he activates the winch and the fight begins.
The Helicopter is treated as a Psychopath. The fight starts with the helicopter brought down close by the winch. Take out those spotlights and throw them at the blades, aim a little higher to get the right spot. If you hit the body, you'll still do damage just less. You can barely get two spotlights off before it flies up.
When the Helicopter is free, it will spin in an almost full circle. You can't Dodge Roll the helicopter body itself and it takes away two of your health bars when you do so. It will then spin back in the opposite direction as before. To avoid these, your only chance is to Dodge Roll under the arm of the winch itself, which needs some timing. Between passes, you can pick up more spotlights but you need to be quick.
Once it passes twice, a steady line of minigun's bullets hit the roof, Dodge Roll or hide behind the winch(if angle allows) to avoid it. Then the red light on the winch will go green again, press the button on the winch to bring the copter back down for some more damage.
Rinse and Repeat until destroyed. TK will fall from the helicopter as it crashes, just missing him. The money burns around everyone as TK is brought to the Safe House. With TK in your custody, this brings an end to Case Five, tune in next time for the arrival of the military and the twist no one saw coming.

Tips for Sellers
I have a number of the same item – can I sell it over and over on the same ad?
YES – You sure can! This is what makes West Auckland Classified so cost effective.
Can I sell a number of similar items on the same ad?
YES – You can. For example say you sell T-Shirts with 3 different colours and different pictures on the front. Take photos to show them quite clearly and mention in the ad that the buyer needs to specify size colour and image when they contact you to save time. So in theory you could sell your whole t-shirt shop from a low $5 a month! Keep in mind the tags have to be relevant, so it won't work for you if you sell T-shirts and watches from the same ad. And you can only have 3 images.
What are tags?
When you complete your listing you will see a field for 'tags'. These are short one or two word descriptions of your item and will assist when people search for a specific thing. For example if you list T-Shirts your tags could be t-shirts, t-shirt, clothing, mens clothing. These tags also help your listings turn up in Google searches(this takes a little longer than the site search which happens straight away)
What about postage?
Because there are no success fees on Perth Classifieds Online it does not make any difference as to what you sell your items for. However, as a courtesy to your buyers you should state what the postage is likely to be. The buying and selling is between the two parties and is completed off-site
Does the customer see my email address?
No – when a buyer contacts you through the handy form it is sent to you but they don't see the email address. Your details are kept in our secure database and are not divulged to a third part. Of course when you respond to them they will then see your email. Sellers can also list a phone number and contact can be made over the phone.
What if I find it confusing or have a problem?
Please contact us and we will do our best to help you get started.
What is the best size for images?
I find the images come out well if I make them 72 dpi and 600 px wide. This keeps the file size nice and low. Also jpg files are best. This website will automatically make them the optimum size for display – but won't make a tiny image larger. Click here for some free images.
What about images in the Featured Ad slider?
The first image added will go in the slider so pick a square shaped image, rather than a rectangle as all slider images are cropped so that all sides are the same length.
How do I get my ad in the slide-show on the front page?
All featured ads go in the slide-show or slider. When listing your ad you can pay extra and have it listed as a featured ad.

Which Divas could join Beth and Natalya's crusade?
Beth Phoenix and Natalya have been on a mission to change the face of the Divas division. Using power and brawn, their plan to forcefully take down the "Cinderella" Divas has begun with Divas Champion Kelly Kelly. While Beth has lost two recent pay-per-view title matches to Kelly Kelly – whom she called a "cute, perky blond bimbo" – it hasn't deterred The Glamazon and her friend. If any past or current Divas could join their group to further their cause, who would best fit in? WWE.com offers its top picks. (PHOTOS)
Luna Vachon
Born into a family of grapplers, Luna Vachon always boasted a style of her own. (PHOTOS) After training under Fabulous Moolah and her aunt, Vivian Vachon, Luna debuted in 1986. Her unconventional look was daunting. With a half-shaved head of blond hair, frightening face paint and a vicious sneer, the second-generation competitor and manager wasn't a typical Diva. Her bold behavior and outrageous look made Luna the antithesis of today's model-turned-Diva types that Beth and Natalya are trying to cut out of the picture.
Fabulous Moolah
The greatest Women's Champion of all time, Fabulous Moolah was the first to capture the title in 1956 – an honor she held for nearly 30 years! After her record-setting title reign (she is the longest reigning champion in sports) Fabulous Moolah won the Women's Championship three more times, including in 1999 at the age of 76, to become the oldest champion in WWE's history.
As the first female inductee to the WWE Hall of Fame in 1995, Moolah paved the way for the female competitors of today. Her iconic legacy was the most important of any female in WWE. Moolah was the epitome of success and confidence – something every Diva, regardless of her brawn or beauty, should admire.
Aja Kong
One of the strongest female competitors from Japan, Aja Kong has competed on the independent circuit and briefly with WWE. At Survivor Series in 1995, Kong pinned four opponents, including Women's Champion Alundra Blayze. She's also undefeated on Raw, where she once broke her challenger's nose.
If Kong were to return to WWE, her vicious in-ring skills and unsympathetic personality would allow her to fit in perfectly with Beth and Natalya … although they may want to help her with her makeup application skills.
Alundra Blayze
A successful and controversial female, Alundra Blayze – a.k.a. Madusa – won the Women's Championship three times. The striking and athletic blonde revived the women's division in the '90s, competing against rivals Bull Nakano and Bertha Faye. In 1995, she joined WCW where she notoriously threw the Women's Title into a garbage can – one of the boldest moves a female has made in the ring. (CATCHING UP WITH ALUNDRA)
With beauty, athleticism and plenty of guts, Alundra would mesh fine with fellow fierce blondes, Beth and Natalya. Today she's a competitive monster truck driver and enjoys riding her Harley-Davidson motorcycle. Let's just say she wouldn't be on Team "Cinderella."
Bull Nakano
After success competing in Japan and Mexico in the '80s and early '90s, Bull Nakano joined WWE as an associate of Luna Vachon and challenged Women's Champion Alundra Blayze. Nakano won the Women's Title from Blayze in her native Japan in 1994 and held it for more than four months. The next year, she joined WCW where her rivalry with Blayze – who was then known as Madusa – continued.
Nakano's alternative style and bizarre look was intimidating. She was a far cry from today's so-called "blond bimbos" of the Divas division. The Japanese star spiked her hair, painted a web on her face, wore dark makeup and often carried nunchucks to the ring. There's no doubt she'd instill fear in some of the Divas' "pretty faces." (NAKANO ON TOP 25 MOST IMPACTFUL WOMEN)
Mae Young
Another female who has left her mark on WWE's history books, WWE Hall of Famer Mae Young is one of the greatest women to ever step in the squared circle. With a career that began in 1939, she's the only Superstar or Diva to compete in nine different decades. The first-ever NWA United States Women's Champion, she trained her friend, Fabulous Moolah, for her illustrious career. Most recently, Young surprised The Rock at his birthday party on Raw earlier this year. (WATCH) As one of WWE's greatest icons, who wouldn't want 2008 WWE Hall of Fame inductee Young on her side in the Divas' division?
While she's been at ringside for many of Divas Champion Kelly Kelly's recent matches, Eve has proven time and time again she's much more than just a pretty face. (WATCH) Though she entered the competition as a former dancer with no in-ring skills, Eve won the 2007 WWE Diva Search and has since gone on to capture two prestigious Divas Titles. Expertly trained in Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, she's a strong and agile athlete. But let's not forget about brains. Eve holds an engineering degree from the University of Southern California.
While she seems like an unlikely choice, Eve is a well-rounded Diva, and has the skills and personality to fit in with everyone … even Beth and Natalya. Plus, Eve pinned Natalya to win a tag team match on Raw SuperShow this week, proving she truly is a strong in-ring competitor. (WATCH) It may seem far-fetched, but if Eve happened to ditch her pal, Kelly Kelly, to join forces with Beth and Natalya, she could help change the face of the Divas division based on her impressive credentials and gain even more recognition.

Terrible service. Its getting worse every day. Im less than 60 days with comcast but i already hate it... NEVER AGAIN!Add comment
I don't know what is happening with Comcast, but they now suck in the worst way. Seriously considering to AT&T. The customer service is the worst to deal with as you can't understand what the agent is saying, who in turn does not comprehend the problem you are trying to explain. I recently called and was told to call back and go through all the prompts because they did not know how to switch to another department, I was cut off by another... Read more ›
I have Comcast internet service and have been having a ton of issues with spoty service. I called multiple times to get this fixed only to be told that the modem needed to be restarted. After doing this multiple times without any resolve I asked for a tech to come out to look at the line. The 1st appointment the tech never showed up even though Comcast said they did. I rescheduled for the following day and the same thing happened. I called... Read more ›
I was a Comcast customer for over five years, and tried time and time again to deal with them. Here's the story . . . First signed-up with Comcast because the apartment we were living in had a deal with them - $80 a month for Internet and cable services. Perfect. At the time, Comcast was the only provider in the area, and signing-up for this resident referred plan probably saved me $30 a month with no contract. Service was reliable. I don't... Read more ›
Worst cable company ever see in my life very poor services very bad costumer services too many lies don't use this companyAdd comment
Worst internet connection. I had at&t for 2 years. dont know what on earth i was thinking when i moved to comcast. i was on customer service for 2 hrs. exactly 2 hrs. spoke to 5 technician and 1 billing person . and still they could not resolve issue. Ridiculous!Add comment
I recently worked with comcast on restoring my internet that had been mistakenly disconnected. I was being told all kinds of lies and told about 26 different things (thats how many comcast reps i spoke to before Rainy came into my life). I want to tell you that my hassle last 72 hours and a multitude of calling not several, but many many times and being hung up on, transferred to companies who had no connection with comcast, and deceived by the...

Comcast is so full of ***. They told me 44 for my bill plan. Then it's 61. Never mind the fact I was charged twice for installation. Then when I call corporate they are telling me the noted that were made. I said that's wrong listen to the call. Oh it too far back. Well what's the point of recording. Then they said they would give me 10 off. I call back because I setup automatic payment that didn't happen. Got a late fee. And tell me no you... Read more ›
Comcast sales, account services have been MISLEADING, unprofessional and un-knowledgeble. I was contacted for MONTHS to change my service to X1, which I continued to decline. Eventually I complied based on a sales rep informing me that I would received the same service package with a better OS. I switched and have been in Comcast *** every since. I've been charged more because the package changed. HBO continued to disconnect on it's own for... Read more ›
I have had Comcast for two years and I have had to call customer service 3 or 4 times. The majority of the reps have strong accents and you cannot understand them. Also, they are un-trained and have no idea what they are doing. I had to call four different times and speak with four different reps in order to get my phone line installed and working correctly! Without notifying me, Comcast decided they were switching packages and took five... Read more ›

Traders Rating on Forex-Ratings.com3 based on 122 reviews
I got completely new level of experience. They provided exceptional backend capabilities and hedging tools. Since my first trade, I had huge variety of instruments for trading. Everything was simple and convenient. Combination of quite good options of making deposits and withdraws never gave me sense of wrong choice regarding RetailFX. Still work with them even if they became a part of collaborative group with eToro. Now as a loyal customer, I have access to trading tools of eToro platform. Not bad for small accounts I manage.

Situated in the north of Andorra at an altitude of 1,530 metres, the municipality of Canillo is home to about 4,150 inhabitants. The river Valira divides the community in two parts. The town's name derives from the white mountains/rocks. The centre has a medieval character. Canillo is not only a popular mountain and winter resort, it is also well known for its many national treasures such as the church of Sant Serni, featuring Andorra's highest belfry with 27 metres.
The community of Canillo includes the famous winter sports resort of Soldeu. In summer this is a perfect place for cycling and golfing.
Canillo has an alpine climate with mostly snowy winters and temperatures around zero degrees; the summer months enjoy pleasant temperatures at 25°Celsius. Spring sees the most rain, while July is the driest month.
Canillo is a very popular mountain and winter sports resort: skiing, snow shoe hiking, climbing, skating, kids' park …. there won't be a dull moment. There is also a walking path connecting the various national treasures (churches, cemeteries, old mill).
If the weather does not play along, then visit the motorcycle museum displaying historic bikes from the 1900s to the present.
The town itself celebrates numerous folk festivals such as the "Burning of January" (Crema del Gener). On the last day of January a tree is set on fire – depending on how long the tree burns, the duration and the strength of the remaining winter days are calculated.

Finite Difference Schemes and Partial Differential Equations by John C. Strikwerda
Book DescriptionThis book provides a unified and accessible introduction to the basic theory of finite difference schemes applied to the numerical solution of partial differential equations. Originally published in 1989, its objective remains to clearly present the basic methods necessary to perform finite difference schemes and to understand the theory underlying these schemes. This is one of the few texts in the field to not only present the theory of stability in a rigorous and clear manner but also to discuss the theory of initial-boundary value problems in relation to finite difference schemes. In this updated edition the notion of a stability domain is now included in the definition of stability and is more prevalent throughout the book. The author has also added many new figures and tables to clarify important concepts and illustrate the properties of finite difference schemes.

American Political Parties
What are Political Parties? A political party is a group of voters, activists, candidates, and office holders who identify with a party label. Parties recruit and run candidates for public office under the party label. Parties try to organize and coordinate the activities of government officials under the party name.
The Role of Political Parties in a Democracy Many political scientists believe that parties are essential to democracy. The political party is seen by some as the main instrument of popular sovereignty and majority rule. Parties provide a way for the people to keep elected officials responsive and responsible through competitive elections.
Parties and Majority Rule Parties mobilizing activities contribute to democracy by educating people about politics. Elections create an incentive for parties to include as many voters as possible under their umbrella, with winning support from a majority being the goal of each party. Parties try to broaden their appeal by running candidates from many ethnic, racial, and religious groups.
The Two-Party System Most nations have either one-party systems or multiparty systems. Most Western democracies have multiparty systems. But two parties have dominated the political scene in the United States since 1836.
Why Only 2 American Parties? Winner-take-all electoral system: –Legislative seats are awarded only to first place finishers in each district. Institutional rules: –Congress and State legislatures provide no power base for minor parties.
The Evolution of American Party Democracy Hamilton and Jefferson, as heads of the Federalist and Anti-Federalist groups respectively, are often considered 'fathers' of the modern party system. By 1800, this country had a party system with two major parties that has remained relatively stable ever since.
Democrats and Republicans From the presidential elections of 1860 to the present, the same two major parties have contested elections in the United States: – Democrats – Republicans.
Republicans 1854 Anti-slave activists met in Ripon, WI 1854 Republicans first met in Jackson., MI. The name emphasizes a connection to the Democratic-Republican Party. 1856 John Fremont was first presidential candidate of a national Republican Party. 1860 Lincoln is the first Republican elected President as Republicans replace Whig Party as one of the 2 major national parties.
The Elephant (11/7/1884)
Democrats 1792 Thomas Jefferson organized opposition to Federalists 1798 Officially named the Democratic- Republican Party 1824 4-way split among D-R 1832 Reunification of Democrats under Andrew Jackson presidency. Jacksonian Democrats 1844 Officially re-named the Democratic Party 1848 Democratic National Committee established.
The Tiger
The Donkey Appears (1/19/1870)
What the party symbols mean. To A Republican –Elephant: dignified, strong, intelligent –Donkey: stubborn, silly, ridiculous To A Democrat –Elephant: bungling, stupid, pompous –Donkey: humble, smart, courageous, lovable
History of Party Competition 1860 -1876 -- Republican Dominance 1876 -1896 -- Competitive Republican 1896 -1932 -- Republican Dominance 1932 -1952 -- Democratic Dominance 1952 -1968 -- Competitive Democrat 1970 - 2000 -- Neither party dominant 2004 - Start of Republican domination? 2006 – Looking toward a competitive 2008?
Realignments and Critical Elections Each period begins with a critical election, a landslide by one party. –1860, 1896, 1932, ??? Each critical election leads to permanent realignment of voter preferences Cycle of dominance - about 40 years –1860 to 1896 –1896 to 1932 –1932 to 1968
Modern Politics – Wither the Realignment? Weve actually been waiting for the realignment to follow 1932 for about 30 years. We live in a de-aligned world. Party is not as important a cue to voting as it once was.
The Roles of American Parties The two party system has been used to resolve political and social conflicts. –Mobilizing Support and Gathering Power –A Force for Stability –Unity, Linkage, Accountability –The Electioneering Function –Party as a Voting and Issue Cue –Policy Formulation and Promotion
3 Views of the Political Party Party as Organization Party in Government Party in the Electorate
The Party in Government The Congressional Party The Presidential Party The Parties and the Judiciary The Parties in State & Local Government
The Party-In-The-Electorate The party-in-the-electorate is the mass of potential voters who identify with specific party. American voters often identify with a specific party, but rarely formally belong to it.
Third Parties in America
Historical Parties –American Independence –Progressives –Bull Moose –Free Soil –Anti-Masons –Socialist Contemporary Parties –Libertarian Party –Green Party –Reform Party –American Nazi –Socialist Labor –Socialist Worker –American Constitutional
Third Parties: Their Impact on American Politics Rarely win elections. Rarely last long. But, they bring new groups and people into politics who often stay involved. Two-party system discourages extreme views.
Third Parties: Electoral Impact Minor parties are not a threat to the two major parties today (although they may influence who wins). Only eight third parties have won any electoral votes in a presidential contest. The third parties that have had some success (aside from Ralph Nader in 2000) include…
Impact of 3 rd Parties on Issues Prohibition (Prohibition Party) Womens Right to Vote (Prohibition & Socialist Parties) Immigration Restrictions (Populist Party) Child Labor (Socialist Party) 40 Hour Work Week (Populist & Socialist Parties) Progressive Income Tax (Populist & Socialist Parties) Social Security (Socialist Party) Crime Control (American Independence Party)
The Republicans as a 3 rd Party Of course, despite modest electoral successes and policy impact via adoption, most third parties aspire to share or hold power. Some make it. The Republicans did not start as a major party but became the beneficiary of the 1850s battle over slavery between Whig and Democratic Parties.
Q: How do our parties enhance democracy and government effectiveness? Four Answers: The responsible party model The retrospective voting model The median voter model Overcoming the separation of powers
Proposals to improve the parties Make the party elements stronger Strengthen ties between elements of the parties More power to the party centers; more hierarchical Make better ties to the public; party sentiments strengthened in the public.
Critics: Reactions to Party Reform Parties are already too strong; increases public discontent. Proposals to strengthen parties are by those who want big govt.

Musto at the London International Horse Show Olympia
The London International Horse Show Olympia kicked off yesterday in London and runs until Monday 19 December.
As soon as we heard the words 'equestrian Christmas party' we were in. The standard of the dressage and showjumping competitions is exemplary and the atmosphere created in Olympia is magical. We're particularly looking forward to the Christmas West End finale.
Olympia is host to the UK's only Show Jumping and Dressage FEI World Cup™ Qualifiers. It also has outstanding Equestrian Displays; this year from Lorenzo The Flying Frenchman and The Lusitano Ride from Portugal. There is a great Shopping Village and a special West End Christmas Finale.
New this year is 'Extreme Driving' which is a high speed indoor driving competition with the World's top three drivers participating. Taking place on Thursday 15th December's evening performance and Friday 16th December's afternoon performance, Extreme Driving brings a brand new equestrian discipline to Olympia and is bound to have the audience on the edge of their seats.
Visit the MUSTO stand at A10 in the retail area to stock up on last-minute Christmas presents and equestrian accessories for stocking fillers, browse Zara Phillips' latest ZP176 range, or treat yourself to your favourite pieces from our current AW11 equestrian collection.
