School calendar meeting today...ski week or no ski week?
Original post made by PAUSD parent, Old Palo Alto, on Jun 7, 2006
This is the same process that gave us the current calendar, which starts school on Aug. 21 and gave us a ski week.
There will apparently be community meetings in September and October to get input on whatever the committee decides, but for anyone with concerns about the school calendar it might be smart to attend this afternoon's meeting.
What do people prefer for the school calendar? I'd prefer a later start to school and no ski week, but wonder how others feel...

Why no parents on the committee? Do I recall that this is something that has to be negotiated with the unions, or is it just up to the school board?

This is from an e-mail sent out to parents of freshmen:
The calendar committee (representatives of administration, teachers, and staff) has held two meeting to consider options for the 2007-8, and 2008-9 calendars. They have reviewed the community input, calendars in nearby districts, holidays, and Stanford University's schedule. Some high school personnel have emphasized the benefits of ending the semester before winter break; many members of the public expressed a desire for long summer breaks; there were comments pro and con on the February break. The committee has noted that due to the extensive activities and testing in the Spring, the second semester, the number of useful school days needs to be considered in designating the semesters as being of "roughly equal length." The committee is weighing all of this input in developing the calendar proposals. You can offer feedback on the eventual options at community input at meetings in September or October before the calendars are submitted to the school board in November and December. As you may recall from the last calendar development cycle, after the school board had voted to reject the proposed calendars, the committee returned with the same calendars. Accordingly, to have an effect, you should submit input before the calendars reach the school board.
The constraints on the calendar include:
186 teacher workdays (180 instruction, 3 staff development, 3 workdays)
Two semesters roughly equal length
Accommodates academic/program needs to support learning and growth at all grades
Considers staff , student, parent input
Members of the current committee are PAEA- Denise Dauler, Laura Lajeunesse, Radu Toma, John Fredrich, CSEA- Targe Lindsay, Ruta Henard, Raquel Faustino, Administration- Scott Bowers, David Johnson.

I'm just hoping that this time the committee listens to the input--last time around, the school board, after listening to a lot of comments from parents, sent the calendar back to the committee for revision, and they chose not to revise it.
With three kids in the district, and as a full-time working mother, the school calendar has a huge effect on my life. I am horrified that the trend seems to be to start earlier and earlier in August--when the last calendar pushed the August start to the 21st of the month, I thought that would be a bad situation to tough out for two years, but then it would get better, now it seems the committee, at least, is leaning towards making it worse.
Why do I favor a late start? For one, I've got family scattered around the country. I want my children to spend time with their cousins, and the time I can make that happen is August.
Second, the work-world slows down in August; it's easy for me to take vacation time then. By contrast, June is a just-before-summer push in many fields, I have no chance of getting vacation in June.
Also, as a working parent, I need to have my children in summer programs. I look for programs that provide truly enriching educational experiences, not just daycare. And, as good as some of our Palo Alto programs are, after 2nd grade or so, Palo Alto doesn't have all that much to offer; the truly enriching programs draw from many different communities--so typically aren't available until the end of June. As I look ahead towards university or internationally-based educational opportunities for a high schooler, I see them available in July and August--not June. Getting out early in June doesn't give me family time, doesn't give me educational opportunities--it will just give me a major headache.
The argument I'm hearing for an earlier and earlier start is to give our kids more time in school before AP tests (should we really force every family in our school district to accommodate a small minority? And yes, my kids will be taking AP tests, and I may expect them to study in the summer, but I don't expect AP tests to dominate every decision). I also hear that teachers, again, high school teachers, want to get finals week over with before the winter holidays. Well, having watched a child go through a finals week for the first time this year, I think that's crazy. The kids in this town study for finals--every activity shuts down and they focus. Finals week hit this year just after Martin Luther King Day--a quiet three-day study weekend. That quiet study time just doesn't map with the chaos a typical family experiences before the holidays--elementary school concerts, parties, religious activities, etc. My family is stressed enough before the holidays; I can't imagine dropping a kid studying for finals into that chaos.
So my vote: as late a summer start as possible (I supposed after Labor Day is asking for too much, but can we at least get back to just one week before labor day?); no ski week, minimized random holidays (funny how the kids have all sorts of days off in the few weeks just after school starts), and ending in June whenever is convenient (but not moving to an earlier end at the sacrifice of a late start).

I would prefer to eliminate "ski" week in favor of a "longer" summer.

Three vacations lasting one week or more within the same 3/4 month period (December-April) is just too many, especially with long weekends and days off in between. I am all for eliminating ski week.

As a working parent, with a working spouse, irregular starts and stops during the school year are very difficult to handle. It's much easier to hire help, or to find programs that run over a longer period, i.e. summer, than it is to find help for one week here, one week there during the school year.
This past year, ski week was a frantic time for all of the parents I know - most did not go skiing or on holiday, but found themselves scrambling to entertain their kids during this break.
I agree with many of the comments made by the professorville parent above regarding late starts (after August) and mid June completion, with a minimal number of days/weeks off during the year.

Instead of a ski week break, how about more three-day weekends: we have found those short breaks to be more effective at easing homework stresses and affording just enough extra breathing space to recharge ourselves without getting altogether out of the habit of the daily school schedule, which makes the return to school a lot easier.
Going back to a later start in August would get us closer to the ideal schedule, though I don't know if that could accommodate the required number of teaching days. Perhaps we could ditch some of those standardized tests to regain instructional days and better serve our students and their families and our teachers....Just a pipe-dream?

No ski week. a longer summer vacation is better
a resident of Crescent Park
on Jun 7, 2006 at 5:30 pm
I have several concerns with the current PAUSD calender which includes an earlier August start, a late June finish, several long weekends throughout the year, and a ski week.
1. As a working parent, many short vacations are harder for my family to manage than one long summer.
2. I have a child with a learning disability, and the frequent starts and stops in the school curriculum and calendar are difficult for my child. Each time school starts up again, she has to "relearn" many of the lessons and techniques that she had mastered only one month earlier. Continuity is so important for children with learning disabilities and I believe the current calendar is a huge learning obstacle.
3. I have family across the country and summer has traditionally been a time for family visits, summer camp and adventures that we otherwise couldn't accomplish during the year. Many of these experiences are important learning opportunities such as month long volunteer positions, or lengthy visits with foreign cousins speaking another language. We have been unable to do these kinds of activities this summer and next due to the school calendar.
Most importantly, I believe the school district has done a huge communication disservice to the community. I don't know anyone who really understands the rationale for the current calender with the ski week. What are the important reasons and how do they stack up against the many that I have heard and read among Palo Alto parents?

As a part-time, but professional and have-to-work parent, with a full-time working spouse, we use the school day to work and earn a living. Irregular days off, early dismissal days, and multiple "child-care-nightmare" weeks [also known as spring break and ski week] cause our family a great deal of stress. Please eliminate as much of these as possible. Pick a date to start and a date to end, and keep it consistent all the way through. We'll deal with the summer ourselves, with camps, etc., regardless of how long it is.

Did anyone go to the meeting today who can give us a brief summary of what direction the committee is headed?
a resident of Leland Manor/Garland Drive

As a working parent, I don't have the time, money nor desire for a ski week (not to mention the other random holidays). I would rather my kids have the play time/down time and summer program opportunities of a longer summer. Plus, I heard that the short summer is hard on administrators - not much time to get ready for the next year.

According to an e-mail sent this morning to the Paly freshman parent e-mail group, here is a summary of the calendar committee meeting that took place yesterday, written by school board member Mandy Lowell:
At the calendar committee meeting today, I learned a few things including:
The committee is still in the drafting stage; they plan to present a draft calendar to teachers and parents in September, and get feedback during pubic meetings as well as written response. Members seem to agree that the draft calendar should have an attached rationale explaining why it is configured the way it is, including stop and start dates.
Having reviewed tabulations of the several hundred emails submitted on the calendar, the committee heard a strong preference to "not shortchange summer" and condense the academic year. A goal in drafting the calendar is to restore a longer summer.
Although I did not see the figures, it appeared that input on the February break was mixed, but overall the feedback was 2:1 against. Adding feedback on this pilot, a teacher mentioned that his students are finding it more difficult to complete curriculum toward the end of the year. It seemed that the February break had already been discussed in prior meetings, and it appears that the committee concluded that the break had not succeeded in its purpose.
To relieve secondary student stress, facilitate learning, pursue the goal raised in the WASC self-study report, complete more curriculum before AP tests, and respond to long-standing requests, the committee is analyzing whether finals can be placed before winter break. In a poll of 1,023 Paly students, 69% of the students wanted finals before break.
The Ed Code specifies dates for Lincoln's and Washington's birthdays, which essentially makes schools have two holidays, in contrast to the single Presidents' Day. Sounds like an opportunity for a Legislator to make a sensible update to the Code. Anyway, this requirement for schools to be closed on two days in February is probably the reason that so many schools just give a week off, or have 2 four day weeks in a row.
There is some effort made to align spring break with Stanford's calendar.
Bottom line is a draft calendar will likely be publicized for review in September. It will be distributed to PAEA site reps, papers, and schools for feedback, at least a month, likely over two months, before an actual calendar is proposed for approval. The next Calendar Committee meeting is August 30, 3-5 pm, which is when a configuration of a draft calendar will be agreed upon for distribution. While the committee is composed of teachers (PAEA) , staff (CSEA) and administrators, committee members did discuss the experience of their own kids, as well as students. Their goals for configuring calendars appeared to be derived from the community input. They were quite clear that they were open to changes to whatever they present.

YES for ski week
Ski week is our best family builder. We love it! It is an opportunity to do something together, as a family, in a relaxed atmosphere. Don't take it away!

Stress in school age children is a growing phenomena. A weeklong breather, with or with ski, is an excellent way to break the stressful routine and recharge. It's been implemented successfully at neighboring (award winning!) school districts.
Please, don't take Ski week away!

Though I understand the concerns of those who want to get rid of that ski week, I love the idea of a "ski week". However, I didn't get to use it to go anywhere this last year. With a very disabled kid needing to be in a special ski school when we go to the mountains, it was impossible to actually use the ski week for skiing because everyone else has the same week off, and thus everything, including special ski school, is full. Even without this issue, it is the busiest week of the whole year, and so everything is packed, and more expensive.
So, if we can pick a week that is less impacted, I would support keeping a ski week, but otherwise I would say to dump it and just have several 3-4 day week-ends in addition to the President's day weekend. At least then we could go somewhere.

As for finals before winter break, I am completely for making sure they happen before the winter break, so our High Schoolers can actually REST over winter break, instead of study.

Why is the calendar pushing farther and farther into August? It was my understanding that the school year start was pushed into August to accommodate AP schedules and the additional week added by state a few years ago.
AP classes affect only a small percentage of PAUSD students. Long standing August family gatherings are no longer possible with this early start. High school AP classes already assign summer work. There are many other means such as online homework and reviews for the AP classes to get an early start without forcing the whole district to work to that schedule.
Regarding the additional school year days added a few years ago, most families I speak with would prefer pushing the extra week into June and have all of July and August off.
Don't miss out on the discussion!

Just four weeks after three photos of the 2010 Mercedes-Benz E-Class leaked, a new set of leaked photos from a German brochure has hit the Web.2010 Mercedes-Benz E-ClassThe photos show the redesigned E-Class in a number of European trims including an AMG Sport package shown above. All U.S.-spec E-Class cars will likely get the eye-catching LED side mirror lights already found on the SLK and CLS. The new car's profile is much closer to the C-Class than S-Class. Inside, a large display is new as is the four-spoke steering wheel that resembles the similar S-Class item.2010 Mercedes-Benz E-Class exterior and interiorIf the E-Class follows the lead of its big brother, the COMAND information center (the screen at the top of the center console) might have a 20GB hard-drive-based navigation system.Our German is a little rusty, but we're pretty sure we can make out the 0 to 62 mph times of various European E-Class models.

Lookin a little BMWish in the headlights this time around imo.I actually like it better than any other Benz, I have never been a fan of there design language all round; interior and exterior.

This makes me really sad, I loved the last gen E class but the fender bump on the rear quarter panel is a nod to the 60yo and older demographic what are they trying to capture former buick customers? I know its supposed to look more luxurious but it really just makes it look soft and old. I'm not liking the interior! It doesn't seem as special as the interior of a Mercedes should be. Too bad they killed the looks of my favorite sedan in that class, how ridiculous will the next E63 AMG look with this new styling. On the flip side the C class is looking better. I guess this moves my pick a little down market (not much but one step down) to CTS-V, next GS or 5 series.Mercedes is simply trying to wrestle the ugly crown from acrua. I'm not sure how a design like this passes review, there's zero cogency to it, it feels like someone photoshopped and added unrelated bits as a joke. The headlights aping Lexus cars from years gone by doesn't help either. Not that I care, I'm not over 50, maybe this is the sort of appliance look baby boomers like.

I'm not too sure about the styling of the new E-Class - the front end styling looks a little too Asian for my palate, particularly the last-generation Kia Magentis/Optima.In profile though it looks excellent, very similar to the current C-Class.
It's really hard to top the one we have now because it's really timeless. The new one seems a little bit on the boxy side IMO but overall pretty good. Not as good as the one now but good nonetheless.
Fail.No thanks.The rear does look like the new Galant and the front screams WIDE LOAD.We've been other this B...I won't have one I will agree the current E class looks very timeless.

yea brownells has all ways been A+ with me.
Been getting mainly Alumahyde and Super Blue from them, and occasionally some small parts. This latest can of Alumahyde clogged nozzles within about 10-15 seconds of spray time. No matter how clean the nozzle was, and no matter how well you shook the can. I always clean my nozzles in thinner when I'm done, and blow them out with the air compressor. Swapped between 3 different nozzles, still the same. I contacted Brownells and without question they shipped me another can of Alumahyde and a bag of clean out nozzles. No fuss, no muss. Very pleasant surprise to not have to fight about it. A big +1 to them for their great customer service!!
Enforcement, NOT Amnesty!!!!!!

Person of interest for shootings lost home in Black Forest Fire
Two dead, one in critical condition
BLACK FOREST, Colo. - The El Paso County Sheriff's Office is searching for 46-year-old Kenneth Lankford as a person of interest for multiple shootings in Black Forest. He is considered armed and dangerous.
According to the Sheriff's Office, he is a person of interest in connection with two killings Saturday morning. Another person was in the hospital Saturday night in critical condition.
The Sheriff's Office believes Lankford could be driving a stolen red 2002 Honda Odyssey with the license plate 048-GJB. If you see the car, call 911.
All three calls were in the Black Forest area: Two shootings on Timber Lane Court, another on Burrows Road. A few roads were closed on Saturday to visitors as the investigation continued.
Residents say this is the last thing they needed after a devastating fire and flooding this summer.
Quiet black forest turned into a terrifying town Saturday morning (11/9/13) when three calls came in for shootings of three different victims with gunshot wounds.
"I just wouldn't think that there would be people out there that would do something like this," said Black Forest resident Jo Ann Schipper.
"Absolute senseless act of brutality," said resident Kathy Kean.
The Sheriff's Office says Kenneth Lankford, a Black Forest resident, is a person of interest.
We looked into Lankford's records. He was arrested three times since July 2012: once for a DUI, the second time for third degree assault which was later dismissed, and for a weapon offense - possession by a previous offender.
"I know our sheriffs. If they're looking, they will find and I know each of our community members will watch out for each other. Everybody will be on high alert," said Kean.
Lankford also owned a home in Black Forest that burned down in this summer's fire. A tent now sits on the property.

Their services are exemplary, and the price for these services is affordable. The CPanel user interface is appealing and easy to use by the clients who choose to use their services. This has served to increase the confidence of those who work with them. Some of the features of Blue host as a hosting company that make it stand out include the pricing, coupon service, discounts offered, and a dependable web hosting that has a reliable up time.
Bluehost Web Hosting
Bluehost have been operating since 1996, therefore, they are one of the pioneer companies operating within this niche. They also offer unlimited disk space to their clients, email forwarding, international domains, and email accounts. All these are purchasable on yearly blocks. Bluehost provide customized services to their clients via their Linux based systems that make use of state of the art kernels. All this is on their own hardware unlike other companies that make use of secondary companies to host their websites. This makes user interaction with the support team difficult. However, this is not the case with Bluehost hosting as clients can comfortably communicate with the support team at any time.
Bluehost CPanel
Bluehost CPanel is designed such that it is easy to understand and navigate. The design of the CPanel allows the user to add content to their website fast and easy. It also allows for direct interaction with the website's email. Through the CPanel, the client can also contact the support team directly. The panel is also designed such that the clients can maintain their websites with little knowledge about the complexities of web design.
Bluehost Supports ECommerce Websites
Bluehost web hosting is one of the few hosting companies that have the capability of hosting ECommerce websites. It accommodates checkout systems, browsing capabilities and secure log in. The check out systems can be password protected on request by the client. Several purchase options are also included within the Bluehost plan. These shopping cart options include Agora, Zen and Cube among others.
Bluehost Pricing
Bluehost provides one of the most competitive pricing in the hosting market. The cheapest package goes for $6.95 a month. They also have a package that averages at $7.95 a month and $8.95 a month. With Bluehost Coupon, the price can come down to $3.95 a month. Use this link to avail the coupon – hostingtitan.org/bluehost-coupon-code-promo/. These prices are acceptable as compared to the service that the client receives from the company, thus increasing popularity of the hosting service.
Bluehost Coupon
Through affiliate companies, Blue host provides coupons to their clients that work to subsidize the pricing for the hosting package one chooses to purchase. A good example is the basic package that goes for $6.95; this package is often provided with the best Blue host coupon pricing of $3.49. This is a big step forward in comparison to other services.
Bluehost Discount
Bluehost also provides discounts to their clients in the form of reduced prices at a given percentage. For example, the company offers a 44% discount on their basic package, cutting the price down to $3.95 a month – www.bluehost.com/track/ktalk/bluehost-coupon-code. This is just but one of the many promotions the company runs on a regular basis. This is a competitive and attractive price for those looking for a better web hosting service.

A student's take on bigger classes and the school budget crisis
Original post made by Daniel Morizono, San Ramon Valley High School, on Feb 28, 2010
One of the most relevant consequences of the budget shortfall for high school students is the class size increases. High school freshmen will see more students in their English and algebra classes next year with the student-to-teacher ratio climbing from an average 22:1 to 30:1. How will this change affect the learning environment? From my experience, smaller class sizes are especially beneficial to the way English classes run, although math classes also benefit from increased student attention and improved class discipline.
In English classes, for example, students are often expected to participate in discussions pertaining to a novel being studied by the entire class. Not only do students logically have a better chance to participate in these discussions with fewer involved, but students are less intimidated to speak up when surrounded with 20 of their peers instead of 30. Furthermore, more students means more work to grade. English teachers will have no choice but to scale back on the number of assignments, especially analytical writing assignments that can't be graded with a Scantron machine.
On the other hand, math is not typically a discussion-based subject. However, any teacher would admit that smaller classes are far easier to control. I help with freshmen advisory at my school and I know that in general, high school freshmen are a jumpy group of kids. Perhaps it is the adjusting to high school that makes them this way, or perhaps it is just their nature. Either way, ninth-grade teachers have to deal with discipline issues in their classrooms that divert precious time away from their lesson plans.
Every incoming freshman is placed into a section of English 9. At San Ramon Valley High School and Monte Vista High School there are no Advanced, Honors, or Advanced Placement English classes available for freshmen. The academically driven student who listens to his or her teacher is placed in the same classroom as the 14-year old juvenile probationer.
And let's face it––some students just don't want to learn. They want to please their peers more than their teachers. They don't explain success as the result of hard work, but by their sheer luck, connections or innate ability. And they see the whole schooling process as irrelevant to their lives and futures. This combination of behaviors creates a volatile learning environment in some classrooms. Consequently, an increase in classroom sizes at this level will only exacerbate behavior problems and detract from the quality of learning. From a student's point of view, the importance of freshmen English and especially Algebra I in the foundation of a high school education cannot be overstated.
Then there are the potential cuts to programs such as electives, libraries, counseling services and sports, to name just a few. The journalism program at my school may be one of these programs to go. But school newspapers continue to be valuable hallmarks of our democracy, widely read by students, staff and parents alike. Counselors may be pink-slipped. But you can't go crying to the Internet when you've had your letter of admission rescinded by a college. Unlike with the certainty of class size increases, we don't know yet what program cuts will be made. But these changes would certainly have a very direct impact on the day-to-day lives of students as well.
Talking with some of the teachers and staff at my high school, I've come to realize just how complex our current financial situation is. Neither Mr. Enoch, the superintendent, nor the teacher unions want to see the San Ramon Valley Unified School District become insolvent. The SRVEA does not want to appear intractable to making compromises, but the union does need more information than a projected $30 million two-year budget deficit on which to base their concessions. The real numbers and the actual deficit will likely not be known until September.
The teachers, administrators and support staff I know are good people. The same is true for those on the other side of the bargaining table. We, as members of our community, are all trying to do what we think is best for our children's education. And we are all facing difficult times, even though we are comparatively fortunate to live in the San Ramon Valley. These things we share in common must be the beginning point of our public discourse on the budget crisis, although our perspectives diverge widely from there.

Dear Dolores,
This presentation is very well considered and presented.
Many years ago I read a statement by Dr. Conant that said education is partnerships between students and teachers and school is only real estate. If I recall Dr. Conant was a Harvard notable that supported the majority of resources being use for student and teacher relationships. He felt the growth of school district administration was simply poor uses of resources. He noted administration of education is a on-site function simply to facilitate student/teacher partnerships.
Your readers might consider defining how they define the education they provide our students with their tax dollars and donations. After all it is their district and resident tax payers should have a primary right to define what surrounds educational partnerships between students and teachers.
Don't miss out on the discussion!

Did Ashley Wagner skate to the same music as last year? I though she was suppose skate to Led Zeppelin's "Kashmir"?
Did Ashley Wagner skate to the same music as last year? I though she was suppose skate to Led Zeppelin's "Kashmir"?
Good on Caroline for getting rid of the mule kick. And it's not just that she's ditched the kick, but her 3F on the whole looks better than it's ever been. I don't see much improvement in the 2A, though, and my gosh she was slow. So unbelievably slow...the whole programme seemed to be running in slow motion...even her spins looked terribly slow. She's also filled out a lot, and she's clearly not as flexible as she once was.
Carolina - meh. She landed the jumps (didn't she do a much easier 3T-2T this time?), but nothing else about the programme seemed terribly noteworthy to me. Kanako showed a lot of spunk and landed a couple of nice jumps, but my problem with her is that she showed a little too much spunk, so much so that she came across as overly perky and 'on'. Michelle was doing Salome at her age, so Kanako had better get with the, um, programme. Rachael...Rachael's trudging along as she's always done and consequently looking as boring as she's ever been. Lori clearly thinks that jazzy, all-American feel works well for Rachael, but IMO it just makes her even more blah. And as a shallow aside, I don't think Rachael's new hairdo looks terribly flattering on her.
Ashley was my favourite, and I wish she was in first place. Mao's SP could be wonderful, but I see she's following her old pattern of looking unsteady early in the season, possibly going on to miss the GPF, and only coming into full bloom once the season is almost over.
I was so looking forward to Skate America in Portland, OR in a few weeks, but I don't know now. I just came from the website and Kanako is supposed to be skating there, which I don't like. It's unusual for me to have an aversion to a skater, but she reminds me of Fumie Suguri, whom I've never liked as a skater, this alone can turn me off, as well as fans, and of course the judging. It's not her fault btw, it's just a visceral reaction.
I'll have to think about this long & hard because I know my niece is looking forward to it, and I don't want to disappoint her, so I'm thinking we may just go to see the men skate, like we did at the Olympics. Lol, she likes the men moreso than the ladies anyways, same as me.
Hopefully I'll be more inspired when they skate their LPs, and just enjoy those ones I like (as I did in the SP), but the judging does affect me, I can't lie.
Caroline looks so different. Her mule kick is gone and her jumps look higher so I'm happy for her. Whatever she had as a junior seems to be gone sadly. Her spins are nice but lost something , she's still so slow, not as flexible and she just look different. Puberty sure does change some people a lot.:sheesh:
Ashley is skating to the same music as last year but her program is totally reworked for the new rules and I don't really like it anymore. Ashley isn't a favorite skater at all but her short program from last year was one of my favorites but I don't like this new version so far. Whatever the rules are it has really slowed her program down. It took away the flow.
Rachel skating still does nothing for me but she looks like she's improved some.

Caro is actually in the lead with a 3t 2t. If anyone else would have put that down there would be an outcry. Never have been a fan and especially when she is gifted by the judges. Mao did not surprise me. She seems to not be ready this early in the season. Maybe if she was given later GP assignments..... Kanako still skates like a junior but she certainly is perky and enjoys skating. I wish Caroline Zhang would capture some of that enthusiasm. Glad to see her improve, but she still needs to speed things up and not skate so careful. She looks likes she skates to not make mistakes. Love Rachael's dress and I do think her program suits her. I enjoyed Ashley, but I still am not very good at identifying her jumps. I was glad to see clean programs other than Mao's. I don't think she deserved the score she recieved. Even the 47 was a gift.
Also Bebe skates like the wind, and then some. I would be ecstatic if Caroline skates that fast.

I'm so sad for Mao.
I hope she has a great LP tomorrow!
I absolutely love Carolina's and Ashley's SP!
I also enjoyed Rachael's.
And I want to congratulate Caroline on her huge improvement on her toe jumps (the Flip, at least), so I'm really happy for her! Can't wait for the tomorrow!
please explain what is the "mule kick" you are all talking about
That's a mule kick.

I love these 13 oz EnduraBANNERS!
I have used many of these 13oz EnduraBanners and i just love them. You can beat the price. They are so strong and last a super long time. I use mine in Nevada and it holds up to all the high winds we get. The only problem I have with it is the fact that it is hard to roll up neatly because it is such a heavy duty banner.

Alternatives are:
o If your dataset is large you can use (Raftery 1995), he does not deal
with -ologit- specificaly, but more generally with hypothesis
testing/model selection in large datasets. Than you can compare BICs,
these are less likely to reject the proporitonal odds assumption, and
if they do show strong evidence against the proportional odds
assumption you should probably be worried anyhow.
o You can use other methods for dealing with ordinal dependent
variables that are not surrounded by these ingrained practices, for
instance the stereotyped ordered logit (-slogit- in Stata). This is a
cheat, but if it gets you around the referees...

Feb 25, 2013 at 11:33 pm #1299727
Alex ErikssonSpectator
@aerikssonLocale: Austin, TX
I'm trying to get a rather last minute trip together for this weekend. We had considered Guadalupe Mountains National Park but will be holding off on that until my lovely girlfriend can join us. Additionally, I'm trying to find somewhere that A) allows me to bring my trusty canine hiking buddy, and B) might allow fires (which rules out Texas). Does anyone have any suggestions for something in the southern 1/3 of New Mexico? I see Lincoln National Forest on a map, but haven't found much info about where to actually hike IN said forest. We're coming from Austin and I'm trying to keep the drive in the single digits, but hopefully there will be enough of us to drive in shifts if we're going further.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Our fallback plan is to do Big Bend, but I'll have to find someone to watch my pup, which is a drag, but hey sometimes it's the only way (hence why it's the fallback plan).Feb 26, 2013 at 10:12 am #1958882

The Lincoln NF is vast, and outside of hunting season as deserted as any wilderness around. Much of it will also be under snow right now. Throw a dart at the map and have fun, but the area around Ruidoso/Ski Apache suffered widespread fires recently.
If the snow camping fits your fancy I'd recommend heading to the area around the village of Cloudcroft (8000' ish). The 'Rim Trail' starts just south of town at the turnoff to Weed, and follows the western rim of the Sacremento Mountains for atleast 16 miles, including numerous overlooks of the White Sand N.M., four thousand feet below.
If you prefer more warmth, consider an overnight in the backcountry of White Sands National Monument itself; spectacular with a near full moon! Dogs allowed, but no wood fires.
The drive would probably preclude you from going as far as the Gila N.F./Wilderness on the western side of the state, but if you dare, Turkey Creek hotspring area is classic southern NM backcountry.Feb 26, 2013 at 10:56 am #1958901
The Lincoln NF around Carlsbad (check out Last chance canyon and if you are up to it cross-country in desert, think there's a loop with some neighboring trails, etc…) is actually desert but with the recent rains, there may be slightly more than a trickle of water. Not as developed TH as the Gila or northern NM but still used. Kind of an oasis but a group hike got only a little water in Dec.,with the recent snows, could be more. The middle fork of the Gila will be good and Argentina:Bonito creek trails are open north of Ruidoso (not the Blue Front). Watch the weather though.
Here ya go. For some reason it's showing the trail closed but fire season ended last July. You may want to call..
http://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/lincoln/recreation/recarea/?recid=34278Mar 2, 2013 at 5:44 pm #1960715
I found the aldo Leopold wilderness to be excellent.
Aspen trail awesome. Black canyon trail had a nice stream.
Water available. Fires welcome.
QMar 8, 2013 at 3:38 pm #1963232
I thought Bonito was the center of the fire last June…
QMar 8, 2013 at 4:30 pm #1963239
Bonito is mostly open but the trails and campsites south of there are closed (just looking at the latest maps). The Gila is getting some snow but the Rangers on the phone say there's not much accumulation earlier this week. Kind of jives with my observations snowshoeing in central NM – get a loose blanket of snow that looks impressive but it quickly melts off.
Hope there's enough moisture to keep everything open and relatively fire-free this summer. For March I'd plan to be sticking to the Middle Fork for water (and am).Mar 16, 2013 at 8:28 am #1966236
What maps did you use? I left from central texas the morning the fire started. When i left all was good. by the time i got to ruidoso my trip was shut down. i'm still eager to hike the area if it is open!
QMar 16, 2013 at 11:37 am #1966295
Here's the map I downloaded a little over a month ago, though check the rangers to see if the closure areas are in effect. There's also a logging order. I'll be there in a few weeks myself, so I may call before I leave.
Map accessed 3 Feb 2013 (source: USFS website for Lincoln NF)
Red shaded area was closed due to fire damage, though I'm not sure about now. I know Ruidoso wants to get everything back to normal for tourist season but call first.
We were on the way to Bonito Creek too when the fire hit. My buddies were an hour ahead when they saw the smoke driving into Alamogordo; I got online and found out about the closure, so we hiked Lincoln National Forest's Rim Trail, south of Cloudcroft NM. Not as alpine but the vegetation is usually greener.Mar 24, 2013 at 5:28 pm #1969166
good data. Thanks

If the screaming from the 5500 strong crowd at Vector Arena on Friday night was anything to go by, Seattle hip hoppers Macklemore & Ryan have reached the big time.
The independent duo, who tour with the addition of two guest vocalists, and outstandingly talented trumpeter Owuor Arunga, finished their first tour of New Zealand in Auckland with a triumphant show that proved hip hop can be smart and socially conscious, while also being downright cheeky and blazingly fun.
They only released their debut studio album late last year, but given that much of the audience knew all the words to many of the tracks, it's not just the hit singles which have made an impact. In a nearly two hour set, the group managed to fit in a clutch of older EP tracks, as well as most of the tunes from The Heist, and they had the crowd's excited attention throughout.
Tall, red-headed front man Macklemore (real name Ben Haggerty) was a powerhouse of energy right from the top, every lyrical line delivered with emotional conviction, many of them demonstrated with equally punchy gestures.
And production/DJ maestro Ryan Lewis had his unconventional beats sounding huge enough to induce heart palpitations, while also jumping round the stage like a hyperactive monkey.
They opened with soaring Ten Thousand Hours, quickly built their way up through Life Is Cinema, before managing to coax a large possum fur coat out of the audience, and launching into Thrift Shop, featuring guest vocalist Wanz, larger than life in a bright pink suit, and owner of an incredible baritone voice.
Then it was on to My Oh My, a touching tribute to late baseball broadcaster Dave Niehaus, which had the crowd cheering as if Dave was a Kiwi icon. Then Macklemore paused between songs to talk about overcoming his drug and alcohol addictions, and finding creativity again, before tackling Otherside.
He also took a moment to discuss New Zealand's upcoming vote on same-sex marriage, before powering into beautiful ballad Same Love, and though guest vocalist Mary Lambert wasn't there to provide her confessional fragile hook, the crowd singalong made up for it.
From there it was mostly about keeping the party going, through crazy, pounding Can't Hold Us, with it's epic horn lines, Wing$, Victory Lap, and Gold, with a small reflective break in the middle for Starting Over.
Of course the crowd demanded an encore, so they were back for totally nutty twisted fairytale song And We Danced, Irish Celebration, and another bite at Thrift Shop.
In the words of Macklemore "we danced, and we laughed, and had a really, really, really, good time."

No, He was slow. Id of like to see a foot race between Chase and DJ last year, Whos the slowest Giant? lol
Didnt hit holes(when they were there), didnt break tackles and to over simplify it, He WAS the 3rd best rb on the team.
You do bring up a valid point, What do you expect from your 3rd string back?
I expected him to step up when AB or Jacobs went down. He failed.
We haven't had a "good" RB on our team since Tiki left honestly....Jacobs was good for a year or two until he started running in such a way to avoid injury.
Bradshaw has never been good...he's at best a "adequate" RB.
good thing this league is a Passing league nowadays so it doesn't matter too much.
If AB had 2 games(46 carries) and had 163 yards (which ware did), I dont' think you'd be nearly as hard on HIM as you are on Ware. That's my point in this particularly meaningless argument. lol

I think that they did a great job of illustrating hygienic behavior and the relationship to markers.
I think that they did a great job of illustrating hygienic behavior and the relationship to markers.
Very interesting.
Now if they can come up with a simple tester for these protein markers, then we would have a usefull tool.
Maybe something that work similar to home pregnancy tester or drug tester kits.
Thanks for posting the study
It would be very interesting if the Canadian and USA researchers would work together and extend their research into the genetic level.
I noticed that the data did not reference the source of breeder queens.
We will find out that the desired trait or traits are going to be in the area of Quantitive genetics and not a simple single gene facor.
Thanks for posting.
My websitehttp://bees4u.com/
I agree, with cautions about focussing too hard on singular resistance mechanisms. I'd buy a tester or pay for assays - as long as they were cost effective (and non-destructive).
But I think the established assay methods they used to determine which colonies were variously hygienic are simple stuff any beekeeper can use for selection purposes, so the market for instruments may be limited.
The fact of hygienic behaviours and their heritability are well established prior to this trial - lets not give them credit for that. I'm not sure either that they are the first to establish relationships between these and specific loci. But is all useful stuff.
The race isn't always to the swift, nor the fight to the strong, but that's the way to bet
They have test sticks in 3rd world countries that test for four or five diseases in a single stick. Testing for multiple proteins would be awsome for identifying which queens to breed to which drone combinations... And for identifying if you are getting what you pay for in a queen. Nice study thanks for sharing!
any quick strip (immuno assay strip) would be destructive some how. You wouldn't test the queen but you could test her progeny, young larvae, worker, drone etc... But you'd need to grind something up in a buffer to extract the proteins you're looking for.
My computer didn't really like the preliminary pdf format article but...
I thought the observation about the honeybee increasing a hemolymph ("bee blood" per my understanding) protein to increase coagulation as a mechanism of reducing the feeding efficiency of the Varroa mite was pretty interesting. This might explain the VSH bees ability to reduce the fertility of the mite.
Increasing coagulation might also offer better protection against secondary infections.
The race isn't always to the swift, nor the fight to the strong, but that's the way to bet

st: -impute- variable creates only type 'float'
Mon, 14 Jul 2008 15:28:47 -0700 (PDT)
Dear Statalist,
In the course of working my way through another dialogue (on xtoverid, with Mark Schaffer) this data management question arose that I couldn't crack and didn't find a previous statalist discussion on:
It appears that the command to estimate missing values, -impute-, always generates the new predicted value as a 'float' type. -impute- doesn't seem to have an option for setting the type. Even when I set the type to double permanently, -impute- still creates 'float' variables. It's a problem because I want to do some comparisons between the original variable and the imputed variable, and I found that differences are not only due to the missing values, but also because, as type float, the newly estimated variable has different values for large numbers due to 'float's imprecision.
Here's an example using data on the web that shows that -impute- creates variables only as 'floats', which won't be overriden by above mentioned action:
.. webuse abdata, clear
.. set type double, permanently
(set type preference recorded)
.. gen here_it_works = 5
.. egen here_too = rowtotal(n w)
.. impute nL2 w k, gen(but_not_here)
27.16% (280) observations imputed
.. describe here_it_works here_too but_not_here
storage display value
variable name type format label variable label
here_it_works double %10.0g
here_too double %10.0g
but_not_here float %9.0g imputed nL2
How can I generate a 'double' type variable instead with -impute- ?
Thank you,

Data matrix
Institutional Research hosts data warehousing session
(March 3, 2005)--The UTSA Office of Institutional Research will host a presentation on data warehousing from 9 to 11:30 a.m., Monday, March 7 in Business Building Room 3.04.08 at the 1604 Campus. The presentation is open to all UTSA faculty and staff interested in establishing a UTSA data warehouse.
According to Gerry Dizinno, UTSA director of institutional research, the presentation will be relevant to those who work with students, financial information and other aspects of UTSA's daily work.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus
- USA Today: UTSA long jumper Tyler Williamson rescues three-year-old boy
Article tools
The speaker at the information session is Susan Nies, a data warehousing consultant. Nies earned a B.S. degree in computer science and an M.B.A. from UTSA. She has 15 years of experience in all aspects of business intelligence systems including needs assessment, implementation, roll-out and training.
She has data warehousing experience in higher education and the marketing and petro-chemical industries. Nies was primary consultant for a recent St. Mary's University data warehouse project and has lectured at numerous higher education technology and institutional research conferences.
A "data warehouse" is defined as a copy of stored data structured for querying, reporting and analysis. Data warehouses often focus on a specific activity or entity and can be used at all levels of an organization to monitor operational activities.
"The presentation will be non-technical, focusing on what a data warehouse can provide, what it can't provide and, perhaps most importantly, what it will take from all of us -- technical and non-technical -- to get such an application designed, built, improved upon and maintained over the years," said Dizinno. "We feel that this bit of education can help us to make a well-informed decision about whether or not to proceed in this direction."
If you plan to attend the meeting, for planning purposes contact Gerry Dizinno at (210) 458-4706.

Today, I started moving some TBH brood comb into a foundationless frame to go into my new Langstroth. I'm sure I will have plenty of questions related to this, but here's what happened that made my head spin.
I had to cut a piece of the bottom of the brood comb to make it fit into the frame. It was dark brown--I'd say about the color of Amaretto. The part I sliced off sat in the afternoon on a piece of marble that I was working on. That was several hours ago. I just went back to clean up my mess and the wax was black. Black as black as black. Wow! I was stunned.
Could this have been a reaction from the sun? Could this be indicative of something else?
I'll tell you this also, there was a SHB on one of the combs, I think that one.
Any clues?


text: I just stumbled upon this article describing the initial concept for what became Tropicana Field. A fabric tent would have covered a boomerang-shaped stadium and, like Kauffman Stadium, there would have been a fountain in the outfield. In fact, the concept reminds me of the initial Kauffman Stadium renderings, only with a tent roof instead of the rolling roof.
