David Brooks:
The social animal
Columnist David Brooks unpacks new insights into human nature from the cognitive sciences — insights with massive implications for economics and politics as well as our own self-knowledge. In a talk full of humor, he shows how you can't hope to understand humans as separate individuals making choices based on their conscious awareness.

Earlier this month we learned that former Home Improvement child star Taran Noah Smith got himself busted for marijuana possession … and today, we are hearing of another drug bust. Singer Robin Thicke got himself arrested in NYC for marijuana possession when police found him chillin' in a parked car ALLEGEDLY smokin' a doobie. According to the report, Robin was given a very friendly arrest … so friendly, that he happily gave autographs to his arresting officers. Celebrity justice in action, y'all.
Singer Robin Thicke was arrested in Manhattan for marijuana possession, the Daily News has learned. The award-winning R&B crooner was arrested at 12:25 p.m. by patrol officers who saw him smoking a joint while sitting in a Cadillac Escalade near 3rd Ave. and E. 21st St., close to Gramercy Park. "He wasn't driving," a police source said. "He was sitting in the car. He was arrested and a small amount of marijuana was recovered on him." Thicke, 34, was in the Escalade with another person, the police source said, but Thicke was the only one arrested and then charged with possession of marijuana. The singer was amiable throughout the arrest, another source said. "He was taking pictures with the cops," the source said. "They were coming over to him and getting autographs." It wasn't clear where Thicke was heading, though he did provide police with a lower East Side address … Thicke's spokesman declined to comment.
Aww … dang. Well, illegal is illegal so I guess he had to be arrested if the police officer witnessed Thicke doing an illegal act … tho how seriously can anyone take an arrest like this when we hear about how much the cops were fawning over their suspect. What's funny for me about this story is how much it reminds me of the episode of Sex and the City when Carrie got busted for smokin' a doobie after Jack Burger (the worst fictional TV boyfriend EVER) broke up with her on a Post-It note. I guess if Carrie can get out of getting in serious trouble by using her Post-It note as a Get Out of Jail Free card, then Robin can avoid serious punishment by using his fame. The only thing not really funny is one of these scenarios is fiction while the other is real life. Celebrity justice can be a very funny thing, I guess.

2011 SURE payments signup begins
Minnesota USDA-Farm Service Agency (FSA) reminds producers that sign-up for the 2011 Supplemental Revenue Assistance (SURE) payments began Oct. 22 and ends June 7, 2013.
The SURE program is part of the Food, Conservation and Energy Act of 2008 (Farm Bill). Under the 2008 Farm Bill, SURE authorizes assistance to farmers and ranchers who suffered crop losses caused by natural disasters occurring through Sept. 30, 2011.
Any eligible producer who suffered losses during the 2011 crop year is encouraged to visit a local FSA office to learn more about the SURE program and how to apply.
As of Sept. 30, 2011, the department's authority to operate the SURE program expired. Production losses due to disasters occurring after that date are not eligible for disaster program coverage.
For more information on the 2011 SURE program, call the Crow Wing/Cass FSA Office at 218-829-5965 or go to www.fsa.usda.gov/sure.


text: It has been widely reported Ben and Carlisle didn't talk to each other the last couple of months of the season. Hate or not, that isn't a healthy relationship. Yes, our recollections seem to be very different. I mean both Carlisle and Brown were fired- so I guess it had to have been because there were no problems of any kind and everyone loved them. You apparently are the one on drugs. Flip made many mistakes last season. The biggest I felt was poor goal setting. It was obvious he was more interested in winning meaningless regular season games than actually developing a deep, cohesive, and determined Championship caliber team. I knew we didn't have a chance just by looking at our rebounding and points in the paint stats. We were a jump shooting team and I can't remember the last time a finesse team won a championship. Luckily, those mistakes are easily remedied.

If someone is interested in this concept there are some "tactical brands" trying to improve the classic "poncho liner" as hill people gear, kifaru (woobie),snugpak (poncho liner) and others…..
But there is a small brand with incredible designers (782 gear)they designed real UL "tactical gear" (smokin series) .. they produce one under 10oz poncho liner with hood…. the smoke kloke …Mar 26, 2014 at 7:53 am #2086281

As John so modestly mentioned, the Jack-R-Better folks have had this concept for the last 10 years using down. Their line of quilts offering a Velcro head hole work great. Yes it lacks the advantages of the synthetic insulation mentioned above, but it is a lighter system. Your sleeping quilt is your coat is your Serape.Mar 26, 2014 at 10:36 am #2086338

@sharaldsLocale: Gallatin Range
The HPG Wilderness Serape is far more versatile than the No Sniveller so they're only slightly comparable items in my opinion. Zippered edges, cinch cord for hitching it up around the waist, and full hood on the HPG. That being said, JRB deserves much praise for popularizing the DIY woobie mod design and introducing it to the UL crowd many years ago.Mar 26, 2014 at 11:06 am #2086351

I have a Therm-a-Rest Tech Blanket that can fill the same niche. It has a drawstring to form a foot box and snaps to mate it with a sleeping pad to use as a quilt.
It is compact but too heavy when compared with UL quilt desings. With lighter cloth and higher quality fill, it would make a good summer quilt or cold season supplement. I would definitely add a head hole to allow use as summer camp insulation.
It works very well as a warm weather top quilt in a hammock.Mar 26, 2014 at 2:22 pm #2086412

RE: JRB vs. HPG
HPG "slightly comparable item … Zippered edges, cinch cord for hitching it up around the waist, and full hood"
FWIW – in addition to being much lighter, the JRB has the advantage of being modular in that it can be fitted with a full hood and it can be fitted with arms, and it is easy to have a waist tie … so, the JRB may be more comparable than what a first glance would indicate … just saying ;-)

The serape concept is just like the cape rain gear/shelter combo. It is not a fashion statement, but it makes sense to use your sleep insulation in camp rather than carry another pound of insulation to keep you warm for the relatively short period of camp time until you are ready to sleep.Mar 26, 2014 at 7:21 pm #2086507

Very interesting article. In particular having a synthetic top quilt really makes sense to me for certain tough conditions and then using it to supplement a lighter jacket is smart.
I wore my JRB quilt a few times, before I decided it was much too narrow for me and handed it on the my youngest boy. Most of the time I like to have a synthetic jacket with me, so a wearable down quilt wasn't that useful for me personally.Mar 27, 2014 at 8:45 pm #2086894

JRB vs Chenault Serape
JRB has great products … great enough for me to make an MYOG sniveler knockoff (albeit with synthetic insulation)
But as a serape alternative?
Consider that you'll be using the work horse of your sleep system as outerwear … in marginal conditions.
Consider that down is less damp/wet weather tolerant than synthetic
Consider than the JRB sniveler offers 2.5 inches of down insulation … much more insulation than the Chenault Serape … much more than most would want to have at even moderate activity unless you are talking weather much colder than the quilt would handle as a sleep system … even if augmented by clothing (unless you are packing down pants and parka)
Consider that all the sniveler photos I've seen are in fair weather
Consider that Dave (and others) are not one to stay home just because weather is far from ideal.
Consider Dave's suggested use of "going to get water on a cold morning" … I won't be squatting at the edge of an icy stream with a down quilt dangling.
Two great ideas … but suitable for different applications.Mar 28, 2014 at 10:42 am #2087061

We were very kindly treated by Deborah, and I recommend this little apartment to everyone visiting Malaga.
Ylva Adra, Gotenburg, Sweden november -14
It is a nice, clean and centrally located apartment. Everything was as described in the advertisment. We had a really friendly and obliging host and we will definitely recommend this accommodation.
We spent one week in Malaga in this attic. The attic was just the right size for two persons and with a lovely terrace The attic contained everything we needed, and it was a short way to the senter of Malaga. The shortest way through a tunell to the beach was 25 minutes. Thank you for a lovely holiday.
Deborah was a really friendly and helpful host, she gave us a lots of tips where to go to. The penthouse os clean and very nice, and the Roof top terrace is a hit! We loved sitting there in the evening! The Location is close to the University of malaga, only a 5-10 Minute walk away from the City Center. We woulf be happy to come there again! Thanks Deborah!
Excellent apartment, great location 10 minutes walk from city centre!!
Roof terrace magnificent, plenty of space and just the right amount of shade over the Hammock!
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay, would definitly recommend and we'll be back.
Thanks Deborah.
Thanks Deborah for the warm welcome and Luis for getting up early on our departure. The apartment is super and we loved staying. Neat, very bright, fully equipped kitchen, spacious terrace with a hammock where you can enjoy quietly at any time of the day. Nice to eat outside! Close to the center (5min walk), bakery and supermarket in the street. 15min walk to the beach. Highly recommended.
Very nice and well located apartment. All household necessaries were furthermore available. Summarized, a highly recommended accommodation with a nice host!
A great place to relax in Malaga, close to everything. Looks exactly like in the pictures, but the bathroom was even bigger than I thought. The apartment was clean and comfortable with very good wifi connection. We loved the spacious balcony.
I would definitely recommend this place. Thank you Deborah and Luis!
A lovely, cosy apartment in a good location, with a supermarket and bakery 5 minutes away. A fantastic terrace, and comfortable, well furnished apartment. Close to the centre for the sites of Malaga/ restauants/shoping etc.

Discussion in 'October 2008' started by max, Oct 2, 2008.
On May 28, 2008, Tay had 8 points against Boston en route to a Game 5 loss in the ECF.
You mean 8 boards right...
Its his fourth year, and Amir still looks like a boy among men. Yeah yeah, its preseason, i know, but he doesn't appear to have much of a presence out there. Kwame is sadly just going to take space; he adds nothing folks. Stuckey needs to evolve into a starter this year. I think he's ready; our baby is now a grown man!
No, he only had 4 boards in that game.
Please don't fluck on this site.
Looks like we have a clubhouse leader for 08-09 whipping boy. The season has officially started!
Great so now the Flip Saunders hate now falls on Kwame Brown.
lol, no its not the Flip Saunders hate I assure you. He IS useless though. ANYTHING from him will be bonus. He is simply useless and, even worse, unmotivated
Listening to bball on the radio blows. I ended up sleeping through the action because of the hypnotizing drone of the announcers and waking up during every commercial break b/c of the annoying volume increase. The hangover didn't help.
My man Amir bowling over people. HA !
I was talking about boards. If he can keep that up . . . Did you see the game? edited to add; Sheed grades the game
Sheed grading the team tonight huh....well then it was his outlier of poor production that brought down the grade. Billups will be gone by the trade deadline, this house is not big enough for him and Stuckey, it's kind of like when you and your brother share twin beds or bunk beds in the same room, when you're 8 years old, it's cool, but when you're like 20....somebody gotta go. How about that Walter Herrmann fella, may turn out to be the key off season decision. It also seems as if Maxiel is not going to just give Amir the starting PF spot. With our depth and vesatility at each position, if Curry holds true to his word, then we are in for a treat this season, nobody's spot is safe.
I don't what we can take out of the 1st pre-season besides seeing how some of the players did. Good job expanding the rotation by Curry and seeing how some of the players do. Amazing game by Stucky. Afflalo, Prince and Dyess took the coaches que on crashing the boards this year. Rip had a decent game. Rest of the starters looked like they were not ready to play based on the box. 5 fouls for Amir in 18 mins - who saw that comming? CB lead the 24 To's with 6 himself. Looks like Maxiel and Herman had good games off the bench. Next game will be on tv.
One of these starters is NOT like the others.... One of these starters....DOESN'T BELONG. :suspiciou
If you're talking about Amir looks like Curry would beg to differ; Amir Johnson's impact in game not seen in stats | Freep.com | Detroit Free Press ----------- He also drew three offensive fouls and had a steal in a span of like 2 minutes.
You do of course remember when Michael Curry was the "Intangibles" guy....right? Our own Mercury dubbed him "Binary Man" due to his proclivity for putting up statlines that looked like this 10 0 1 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 1 Screw what he says. He's like an illusionist making the audience look at his hands while his assistants are wheeling the elephant off stage. The elephant in this particular room is Amir isn't very good. Cling to "intangibles" all you want. They won't win this team a championship of any sort.
Many of the best coaches are the guys who were not the greatest players. It takes a lot of bball IQ to hang in the league when you are not the most talented out there.
This should have members of the forum that have their love goggles off and their kool-aid cups set to the side concerned. Dennis Rodman most definitely had games where his statistics showed his impact. So did Ben Wallace. This is a ready made excuse, fabricated by the organization and force fed to the fans before the season has even started. Whats next? The measure of how good this team is will never be shown in the win-loss column. The measure of how great this team is will never be shown in championships earned. The measure of how good our players are will never be shown in trivial things like wins....or statistics. Don't you folks wish you could pull that at your respective places of employment? This is malarkey. Borderline bamboozlement.
Start listing them cousin. I bet the majority of them put up better numbers than binary man. The ones that didn't sure as heck didn't fake their way into the starting lineup over better players on the back of misdirection and lies like the current coach has.
So I'll think about hiring Amir when he decides to COACH in this league. Until then get him the heck out of the starting lineup. And my kool-aid cup. It's a travesty. I'll see you all during the all-star break when these lies about Amir's true worth start wearing thin.
Separate names with a comma.

From what I'm reading here you want 8 mesh hardware cloth. I was able to find small rolls at True Value. I purchased a roll of 6 mesh from Argus Steel. This is galvanized steel .035 size wire, pretty stiff material. I use it for my SHB bottom board traps. The consistency of the weave leaves something to be desired. I have also found that the size of the adult beetles vary. I think gender is the reason. I have found aluminum 6 mesh here http://www.twpinc.com/wire-mesh/TWPC...6X006A0350W36T
My next purchase will be the aluminum. It looks very similar to the screen available from Green Bee.

If you recognize the word 'DROKK', then you're already halfway to understanding what this post might be about. For those that don't, it's a made up, sci-fi expletive along the lines of BSG's 'Frak' or Red Dwarf's 'Smeg'. It's found in the Earth's future Mega-Cities, often spoken by perps when they're apprehended by the mighty Judge Dredd from the 2000AD comic book universe.
In this instance it's the name of the soundtrack collaboration between Geoff Barrow (of Portishead fame) and composer Ben Salisbury. Except that it's not actually a soundtrack. If, like me, you're a fan of Joe Dredd, you'll know that there's a movie coming out later this year starring Karl 'Bones McCoy' Urban as the be-chinned anti-hero of Mega City One, and back in the early stages of the production Barrow and Salisbury were approached to score the film. They started work on a heavily synthesizer-based score, drawing on Barrow's love of the comics and Salisbury's knowledge of putting music to film. Then, for reasons that Barrow doesn't want to go in to at the moment as the movie is still in production, their score was dropped from the film. (He goes to great lengths in this interview with The Skinny to be clear that there are no hard feelings about it, and is still very excited about the film). Undeterred by this, the pair got the blessing of 2000AD to continue their work and have now released "DROKK: Music Inspired By Mega-City One", a 19-track, dark, moody and electronic tribute to the future dystopia.

The cataclysmic variable star BZ UMa is currently experiencing an outburst which is peculiar for that star. Historically, BZ UMa has outbursts every 312 +/-114 days (although it has been much more regular in the past decade). These outbursts are similar to regular UGSU outbursts with a fast rise and a short decay over four days and are absent of any superhumps or other periodicity. However, no superoutbursts of the type also associated with UGSU stars have been detected in BZ UMa despite good observational coverage since 1972.

Site is down - we're working on it guys.
We're working trying to recover it.
So far it looks like we might lose the data, we're keeping fingers crossed. Engineers that manage servers when asked what's going on and when it will be over did not give any estimation.
Funny thing - when asked are they at least going to apologize for this mess, they've replied (quote) "Sorry for the inconvenience".
McHost.ru (the company managing servers) is not even bothering to respond to emails regarding current situation.
They have destroyed our data - now they are just ignoring any communication. Very professional indeed.
Also they do not give you any sort of phone number to contact in emergencies - as any decent data-centre operators would do. They are actually hiding phone numbers - it is not available on their site, just email addresses.
McHost's online support has promised that we will get e-mail reply in next 15 minutes. So far 15 minutes is almost over.
We've got the reply from McHost. They are unable to restore RAID. Which basically means that McHost.ru has destroyed Bitsnoop.com as it were. Due to their own incompetence.

Need you guys back up! love your site =] btw that shit that's been going on is hilarious!ReplyDelete
OMG ... We need bitsnoop back up . It's my favourite torrent search site (I use it everyday). Such a great site !!ReplyDelete
Love you guys . Keep the GREAT site alive .
So what's all going to be lost? the whole database? or just comments and shit?ReplyDelete
It's hard to say right now, might be the whole thing. Well, that will force us offline for couple of weeks before we rebuild indexes.ReplyDelete
We'll see. :-)
ew, that's not good but at least you'll be back, this is THE best free torrent site around!ReplyDelete
Hope you are able to work things out soon. I also am a daily user that is already missing the site.ReplyDelete
well I guess will see ya in a few weeks after some indexing....ReplyDelete
You guys are the best torrent search site. Sad to read this :(ReplyDelete
This is a horrible development. Your site is fantastic. Is it possible that theMcHost.ru guys were paid off by RIAA, etc. to destroy the drive to take you offline? It certainly would be cheaper than going to court.ReplyDelete
@ MohammadReplyDelete
We do not think so, this turned out to be just a really unlucky coincidence multiplied by human factor.
maybe try another hosting company? ovh.net ?ReplyDelete
Anything hosted in the russian business district is going to not do so well. I mean hell they make most their money hosting hard core kiddie porn there.ReplyDelete
Sorry to disappoint you, but you're posting a complete nonsense.
I am sad that your indexer is down as it was a marvelous creation. Please don't be discouraged and rebuild if you can. I used your site everyday and miss it very muchReplyDelete
@Muzique D'ArtReplyDelete
Thanks for your support! We're working on bringing it back - and much better one.
We've had next-gen indexer in development when disaster struck - we plan to finish it and bring it online.
If you have a mean to distribute the load for rebuilding the indices among volunteers please let us know how we can participate. Thank you!ReplyDelete
Hey, I hope you can rebuild the index soon. We users have faith in you :)ReplyDelete
RAID is not a backup strategy.ReplyDelete
Yes, we're kinda aware of it.
The problem is that data-centre operator does not offer any backup services and they do not have quality outside links to ship data out of DC daily.
Still, not having a full backup was our mistake, we do admit that.
McHost.ru needs their asses kicked.ReplyDelete
Just started useing BitSnoop recently and regularly after comparing the results to engines I used before (and sometimes simultaniously). Appreciate your service and would'nt think of torrenting without it... So thank you and good luck!ReplyDelete

PS: Kind of thought RAID was a backup strategy... ;)
Sorry just noticed that I am kind of late on this one...ReplyDelete

MDA accounces $1 million in funding for state's livestock farmers
The Minnesota Department of Agriculture announces that $1 million in grant funding is being made available to livestock producers in the state for on-farm improvements.
The Livestock Investment Grants help farmers stay competitive and reinvest in their industry. The 179 grant recipients to date have invested an estimated $55 million in upgrades to their operations since the program began in 2008.
Qualifying producers would be reimbursed 10 percent of the first $500,000 of investment, with a minimum investment of $4,000. Qualifying expenditures include the purchase, construction or improvement of buildings or facilities for the production of livestock, and the purchase of fencing as well as feeding and waste management equipment.
Producers who suffered a loss due to a natural disaster or unintended consequence may apply. The grant will not pay for livestock or land purchases or debt refinancing.
Minnesota livestock producers who applied for, but did not receive, a grant in past years will need to reapply to be considered for the 2013 program.
The deadline to apply for the grant program is Sept. 23. More information on the Minnesota Livestock Investment Program can be found on the MDA website at www.mda.state.mn.us/livestockinvestmentgrant.

Evaluating and Continually Improving
In this era of accountability, all school districts are struggling with how best to evaluate the effectiveness of their schools and how to use assessment and evaluation results to continually improve the quality of teaching and learning. For districts with magnet schools, which by definition are trying something unique or innovative, evaluation is all the more critical. Resulting data provide their schools with guidance for achieving their mission and education objectives, helping them iron out possible kinks, and identifying and correcting what's not working. And, according to several districts in this study, as magnet schools continue to improve, they raise the bar for all schools in a district.
To keep their magnet schools both effective and relevant, districts have found it important to use data to guide improvements in teaching and learning, to revisit and evaluate magnet themes over time, and to keep parents and community stakeholders involved in the process of evaluation and improvement.
Use data as a basis for improving teaching and learning
Evaluation of magnet schools and subsequent efforts for improvement must be data driven. Knowing what data to collect and how to utilize that information to improve the magnet schools is essential.
Many factors affect choices about what data should be collected to evaluate magnet programs. Some districts must collect certain data to meet state or funding institution reporting requirements; others have developed comprehensive evaluation plans that outline the data to be collected and used in assessing various aspects of magnet schools. The important thing to remember is that data collected for evaluation purposes should ultimately be utilized to improve teaching and learning.
Districts that receive funding from the Magnet Schools Assistance Program (MSAP) must meet certain reporting requirements, and these often form the foundation for the data collection process. But many districts find it is important to collect other information as well. For example, for MSAP-funded schools, Hamilton's and Wake's magnet schools directors collect information about professional development programs, alignment of the curriculum with state and local standards, infusion of the magnet theme into the curriculum, and parental involvement. The data collection process includes surveying parents, students, and teachers at the school to gauge their feelings about such things as the school's student diversity and integration of its magnet theme. For schools not supported by MSAP funds, the director uses a different evaluation process, analyzing data from the five disciplines tested by the district and looking at attendance and graduation rates, which tend to be higher in magnets than in other schools. The director of magnet schools in Hamilton also meets with principals and curriculum facilitators to discuss strengths and weaknesses.
Hot Springs uses state-mandated assessments to evaluate student progress and make adjustments to its academic programs. In addition, the district employs its own thrice-yearly standardized tests with a rational and easily interpretable growth measure to gauge student progress throughout the year. These measures are used in evaluating teacher efficacy and the success and failure of curriculum implementation at the district level. All student achievement and attendance data and other relevant information are collected and stored in a comprehensive student database maintained and utilized by the district's Office of Research and Evaluation. The district uses an outside evaluator to determine on an annual basis if it is meeting its objectives. The evaluator visits every classroom in the elementary magnets and several of the middle- and high-school magnets to assess programs. Additionally, consultants are hired to determine whether themes are being effectively implemented and infused in the curriculum and instruction at each magnet school.
Most districts, even those no longer under a desegregation order, remain committed to a diverse enrollment in their magnet schools and track their student population mix at each site. This allows Duval to report that when it operated under a desegregation order, 46 percent of its magnet schools were racially balanced. Now, even though the district no longer factors race into school assignments, 42 percent of Duval's magnet schools have a student mix reflecting districtwide student demographics. Montclair is still under a compliance order from the 1970s that says its schools must be balanced racially within 10 percent of the population. However, in evaluating its magnet program, the district considers equally important the elimination of the achievement gap between students of color and white students, and the district has managed to reduce that persistent performance discrepancy in the course of improving student achievement overall.
Knowing who is responsible for data collection and dissemination is also important. Having a central office for research and evaluation, such as that in Hot Springs, is one way to ensure that data collection is a priority. Hot Springs' office uses a wide array of reporting and data analysis software to continually monitor district, school, teacher, and student progress. For example, the district reviews the results of benchmark assessments to evaluate schools, teachers, and students, using the information they find to plan professional development and other interventions around areas of weakness.
Wake has also centralized its data collection efforts. The mission of its Evaluation and Research Department is "to improve the effectiveness of the Wake County Public School System for all students by: providing objective, accurate, and timely information on system, school, and program outcomes, management practices, cost effectiveness, and compliance; collaborating with others to ensure high-quality data collection, interpretation, and data-based decision making; and ensuring grant-based programs are developed, implemented, and managed in ways consistent with district priorities, research findings, and applicable regulations."14 The department consists of four offices: Testing, Program Accountability, School Accountability, and Grants Administration and Compliance Reporting. The Program Accountability office promotes continuous improvement and accountability through evaluations of district programs, including the magnet program. This office also supports individual schools through analysis of local assessment results and interpretation of school performance data. Among the evaluation-related activities of Program Accountability staff are monitoring program participation; monitoring program implementation and effectiveness through surveys, interviews, and site visits; analyzing achievement test results as well as other data on desired outcomes; and developing needs assessments and evaluation plans for grant applications.
The highly decentralized Houston Independent School District also has a district-level Department of Research and Accountability that in 2002-03 conducted a review to capture baseline data to use in evaluating Houston's magnet schools. However, the district magnet office is continually engaged in monitoring and evaluating the overall magnet program, especially on an informal level. For example, the Magnet Department monitors program implementation at both the district and the school level through site visits and technical support. The Magnet Department routinely requests application, transfer, and enrollment information from individual magnet coordinators and conducts informal surveys to monitor magnets' impact on diversity, equity, accessibility, and school improvement.
Other districts without central evaluation and research offices have developed means to collect, disseminate, and review magnet school data. As previously noted, Hot Springs employs an outside evaluator. For its part, Duval has conducted peer reviews in the past, and the director of school choice and pupil assignment recommends this practice to other districts. During this process, a team of peers would visit a school over the course of one to two days, interview everyone involved, and then provide feedback.
Perhaps the most crucial piece of any magnet school evaluation is understanding how to utilize the available data to improve teaching and learning, not just in magnet schools, but across the district. Montclair's assistant superintendent puts it this way: "Getting the data is one thing. Understanding what it is trying to tell you [is another]. And using it as a blueprint for change-that's where [data] can help." With this in mind, Montclair has trained its principals in how to utilize data. Guided by the results from standardized tests, for example, they look to see if certain skills were taught. They also look for patterns in report card grades that teachers are giving. The superintendent notes that being able to analyze and use data in more sophisticated ways has allowed district and school staff to see that schools are making some progress in addressing the achievement gap. The district has been following a cohort of students between 4th and 8th grade and has seen the gap in reading narrow to 6 percent.
Revisit and reinvent magnet themes to ensure appeal and relevance
As part of the evaluation process, districts must revisit and, as needed, make changes to magnet themes to ensure that themes remain relevant and appealing to the community. The attraction of a technology theme initially implemented at a time when it was still rare to find district teachers and students using technology for teaching and learning may diminish as schools throughout the district improve in integrating technology. It may be time to change the theme entirely or, instead, to ratchet up the curriculum by instituting new, specialized classes, in computer animation, for example. Thematic review is a necessary step in ensuring the long-term quality and sustainability of magnet schools. One way Duval evaluates its magnet program and schools is monitoring how parents "vote with their feet." In other words, if a magnet school no longer meets the needs of students, parents will choose other alternatives, such as private schools.
Montclair officials acknowledge that implementing magnet themes that make each school unique is a challenge they must meet if their magnet schools are to remain viable and true to the magnet school philosophy. Broad community input is part of the current effort to revise and improve Montclair's themes. "The changes will not be top down," the superintendent says, "they will start with parents and teachers."
This reinventing process has happened before in Montclair. For example, Bradford was identified as the "back – to – basics" school when it was set up in the 1970s. But back-to-basics eventually lost its appeal and Bradford enrollment began to drop. For two years the district tried unsuccessfully to re-market the school. Eventually, the theme was changed to communication arts and sciences and enrollment began climbing. Teachers and parents worked together to develop and enhance the new program. In the reinvention process, says the principal, it was "critical to keep what was working and to hear everyone's voice." Bradford's enrollment has once again begun flagging and as part of the current revisiting process, its theme is likely to change again. One possibility is that it will become a "university" magnet affiliated with Montclair State University.
Another example of Montclair's emphasis on formative evaluation of its magnet schools is Northeast Elementary School. When this school first became a magnet it had an "international" theme, primarily because much of its enrollment consisted of English-as-a-Second Language students. When the current principal came to Northeast in 2002, she surveyed students, parents, and teachers and found that few seemed to like the theme. "It was one day a week and too focused on the adult experts," the principal reported. "Many students said, 'I hated it. I never got to be a part of it.' Parents were unhappy, too." Using this information, the principal wrote a rationale for a new theme and presented it to district officials. The school now has a Global Studies theme.
Wake also takes steps to assess application numbers for its magnet schools. If numbers are low for a particular magnet school, the magnet office sends an internal survey to the campus, goes to the school, talks to the faculty, and, based on collected information, decides on another theme that might rejuvenate the school. As part of this process, the schools themselves conduct meetings with parents to seek their feedback.
Keep parents and community stakeholders involved in evaluation and improvement
All of the same school stakeholders and community partners that are such an important part of creating, implementing, and promoting magnet schools should be included in their evaluation and improvement. As mentioned, parents are a critical resource for the reinventing or revamping of magnet themes. Paying attention to parents and other stakeholders can inform evaluation and improvement efforts in other ways as well.
FIGURE 11. Wake Middle-School Parent Survey
Most of the districts in this study collect data from stakeholders to use in their assessment of magnet schools. In Hot Springs, the schools keep records of parental participation in school activities, which is interpreted as an indication of parental satisfaction. Parents are also surveyed as to their satisfaction with after-school programs. Montclair currently is developing a parent survey instrument that will allow the district to learn more about what parents think of the school system and what their needs are. Wake surveys parents, students; and staff annually (see figure 11). In addition to these districtwide surveys, each magnet school can survey parents, students, and faculty to get feedback about its program. Hamilton also surveys teachers, students, and parents to gauge their feelings about diversity in the school, alignment of curriculum with state standards, integration of the school's theme, and parent involvement. Teachers are also asked about their professional development experiences. Survey results are analyzed at Brown University. In doing these surveys, the district intends to generate more data to inform school improvement efforts.
Stakeholders from outside the district management structure can also be involved directly in evaluation activities. One of the responsibilities of the Magnet Advisory Council in Duval-a diverse group including members from the community, higher education, private industry, district staff, teachers, and principals-is to "review program evaluations concerning the effectiveness of magnet programs and ... [to make] recommendations to the school system regarding the effectiveness of these programs."
In this district and elsewhere, ongoing review helps stakeholders identify and build on the strengths of their program and understand and address the areas in need of improvement. In this way, their magnet schools remain vital and effective.

For Healthcare Professionals
Applies to aspirin: compounding powder, oral capsule extended release, oral delayed release capsule, oral delayed release tablet, oral gum, oral powder for reconstitution, oral tablet, oral tablet chewable, oral tablet disintegrating, oral tablet dispersible, oral tablet extended release, rectal suppository
Endoscopically identifiable gastric mucosal lesions occur in most patients who receive a single dose of aspirin (the active ingredient contained in Aspirin Lite Coat) Clinically evident gastrointestinal bleeding has been reported in as many as 3% of treated elderly patients. Anorectal ulceration and rectal stenosis have been reported in patients who abuse aspirin-containing rectal suppositories. One case-controlled study has suggested that an association between aspirin (and other NSAID) consumption and appendicitis may exist.
The risk of developing dyspeptic events (i.e., epigastric pain, heartburn, nausea, ulcers) is low in rheumatic patients with no prior gastrointestinal symptoms who receive low-dose (less than 650 mg/day) aspirin therapy.[Ref]
Gastrointestinal side effects have included epigastric distress (in as many as 83% of patients treated with regular aspirin), abdominal discomfort or pain, endoscopically identifiable gastric mucosal lesions, nausea, and vomiting. More serious gastrointestinal effects include hemorrhage, peptic ulcers, perforation, small bowel enteropathy, and esophageal ulcerations.[Ref]
The mechanism of an aspirin-induced decrease in renal function may be related to inhibition of renal prostaglandin synthesis with consequent decreases in renal blood flow. Vasodilating renal prostaglandins may be particularly important in patients who exhibit arterial underfilling (i.e. heart failure, cirrhosis). The administration of high doses of NSAIDs to such patients has produced acute renal failure in rare instances.[Ref]
Renal side effects have included reduction in glomerular filtration rate (particularly in patients who are sodium restricted or who exhibit diminished effective arterial blood volume, such as patients with advanced heart failure or cirrhosis), interstitial nephritis, papillary necrosis, elevations in serum creatinine, elevations in blood urea nitrogen, proteinuria, hematuria, and renal failure.[Ref]
Hematologic side effects have included increased blood fibrinolytic activity. In addition, hypoprothrombinemia, thrombocytopenia, thrombocyturia, megaloblastic anemia, and pancytopenia have been reported rarely. Aplastic anemia and eosinophilia have also been reported.[Ref]
The mechanism of aspirin-induced hypersensitivity may be related to an up-regulation of the 5-lipoxygenase pathway of arachidonic acid metabolism with a resulting increase in the products of 5-lipoxygenase (such as leukotrienes).[Ref]
Hypersensitivity side effects have included bronchospasm, rhinitis, conjunctivitis, urticaria, angioedema, and anaphylaxis. Approximately 10% to 30% of asthmatics are aspirin-sensitive (with the clinical triad of aspirin sensitivity, bronchial asthma, and nasal polyps).[Ref]
Dermatologic side effects have included Stevens-Johnson syndrome and a lichenoid eruption. In addition, isolated cases of unilateral aquagenic wrinkling of the palms and papuloerythroderma have been associated with aspirin (the active ingredient contained in Aspirin Lite Coat) therapy.[Ref]
Hepatic side effects have included hepatotoxicity and cholestatic hepatitis.[Ref]
Oncologic side effects have included reports of pancreatic cancer. Several epidemiologic studies have suggested that chronic aspirin (the active ingredient contained in Aspirin Lite Coat) use may decrease the risk of large bowel neoplasms. However, other studies have not found such a beneficial effect.[Ref]
Metabolic side effects have included dehydration and hyperkalemia. Respiratory alkalosis and metabolic acidosis, particularly during salicylate toxicity, have been reported. A case of hypoglycemia has been reported in a patient on hemodialysis. Salicylates have also been reported to displace triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) from protein binding sites. The initial effect is an increase in serum free T4 concentrations.[Ref]
A 29-year-old female with a history of migraine developed chest pain, tachycardia and orthopnea following aspirin (the active ingredient contained in Aspirin Lite Coat) consumption at doses of 1500 mg per day for several days. After discontinuation of aspirin therapy, the patient's symptoms promptly resolved. The patient consented to a pharmacological challenge test which once again triggered the symptoms.[Ref]
Cardiovascular side effects have included salicylate-induced variant angina, ventricular ectopy, conduction abnormalities, and hypotension, particularly during salicylate toxicity. In addition, at least one case of fluid retention simulating acute congestive heart failure has been reported during aspirin therapy. Antiplatelet therapy has also been associated with acute deterioration of intracerebral hemorrhage.[Ref]
Nervous system
Central nervous system side effects have included agitation, cerebral edema, coma, confusion, dizziness, headache, cranial hemorrhage, lethargy and seizures. Tinnitus and subjective hearing loss (or both) may occur. Some investigators have reported that modest doses may result in decreased frequency selectivity and may therefore impair hearing performance, particularly in the setting of background noise.[Ref]
Some investigators have suggested that tinnitus may be a less reliable indicator of salicylate toxicity than previously believed. Patients with high frequency hearing loss may have difficulty perceiving tinnitus. In a study of rheumatoid arthritis patients, those with tinnitus had no greater salicylate levels than those without tinnitus. Elderly patients may be less likely to perceive tinnitus than younger patients.[Ref]
Reye's syndrome typically involves vomiting, neurologic dysfunction, and hepatic dysfunction during or shortly after an acute viral infection.[Ref]
Other side effects have included Reye's syndrome with aspirin use in children with an acute viral illness. Reye's syndrome has also been reported even more rarely in adults.[Ref]
Musculoskeletal side effects have included rhabdomyolysis.[Ref]
Respiratory side effects have included hyperpnea, pulmonary edema, and tachypnea.[Ref]
Aspirin desensitization has been used to decrease disease activity and reduce the need for systemic corticosteroids in patients with aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease.[Ref]
Endocrine side effects have included hypoglycemia (which has been reported in children) and hyperglycemia.[Ref]
Ocular side effects have included cases of localized periorbital edema.[Ref]

Pelosi: Constitutionality of individual mandates not "serious" question
posted at 1:36 pm on October 23, 2009 by Ed Morrissey
First Patrick Leahy scoffed at questions over whether the federal government has the authority to order Americans to buy a particular product, even though that has never happened in our 233-year history, and now the Speaker of the House claims that the question is "not serious." CNS News has the audio of Nancy Pelosi providing the Democratic dodge on the constitutionality question:
CNSNews.com: "Madam Speaker, where specifically does the Constitution grant Congress the authority to enact an individual health insurance mandate?"
Pelosi: "Are you serious? Are you serious?"
CNSNews.com: "Yes, yes I am."
Pelosi avoided answering the question, probably because she doesn't have an answer. Her spokesman said that it was "not a serious question," but if so, one would presume that Pelosi or her office could provide an easily-corroborated answer. After all, the Constitution is where Congress derives all of its authority. It's not exactly a lengthy document. How difficult is it to cite the clause that enables Congress to impose a mandate on its citizens to spend money on anything but a tax?
Well, as it turns out, pretty darned difficult. The interstate commerce clause doesn't apply because Congress doesn't allow for interstate commerce in health insurance. The "general welfare" clause has never applied to individual mandates, which is why neither Leahy or Pelosi will invoke it publicly. If they trot that out in front of the Supreme Court, they'll essentially be arguing that the federal government has the authority to impose any kind of mandates at any time on anyone in the country, which makes the limitations of power in the Constitution meaningless — and by extension, makes the Supreme Court meaningless as well. Good luck getting them to buy into that policy.

I am looking for the picture of Jango wearing the poncho. I was also wondering what would be a good way of makeing.
sorry, but what´s the poncho?¿
I have an image of it somewhere. let me find it.
I was thinking of doing one too..but i might be using a diff material...something more silky but a bit close to boba's cape condition...with holes and marks...
anyway the pic...
Uh? When does he wear that?
:p I think when he gets coffee and a hot dog outside the studios and wasn't allowed to show the costume around :p
Or his baby bib.
Oh, lol!Quote:
R_boba_fett said:
And want do you want to make one of that?
that´s not a costume part :rolleyes
He wears it in a cut scene where Padme and Anakin are on trial by Count Dooku. Pretty nifty I say.
I always wondered why Jango didn't have any "cape" like element to his armor since Boba did, but that thing covers up way to much of his awesome armor!
Frank :fettesb
Jango doesn't wear any form of trophies from the hunt like we see predator and boba fett do... wich is supposed to be an ancient ritual here one arth by ancient cultures etc.
boba's sign of "dont screw with me" are the cape, braids and the killstripes.
also the heavily weathered armor with the "shocking" skull symbol must be signs of warning and competence.
whereas Jango looks like a power ranger, Boba looks like a lazy "bum" who doesnt spend time cleaning and maintaining his stuff :p
Its remenisent of McQuarrie's Old Drawing oF Boba Fett on Cloud City in the Brownish/Tan Poncho.
i was thinking of doing a jango cape, with some ammopunts of weathering on it and sliding it on hisleft shoulder...cpovering most of his left side only....
i got material at walmart up here $2 a meter same weave but a light green iam going to dye it
Resurrecting this thread here, but...how many of you would be interested in a run of this poncho if my girlfriend made a quality one of it?(EG: she makes it, I put it on me whilst wearing my jango armor, and post a thread with pics, and we get a run started?)
Of course..we'd figure out pricing and such later I suppose.
I had a hard time finding the fabric so my endeavor never got off the ground.
not sure i can see a weave. looks almost woolen to me
Sorry for dragging this out of the back, but... Did anyone ever do one of these?
I was thinking it might be a neat little touch.
If someone want to do it, IMO it looks a kind of Tweed.
Here is a pic on which you can see a close up, and some others to compare to the real poncho. Not the same colors, but the texture looks really close, but it's just my opninion.
I was working on one made from raggy looking cotton... it is the right color and everything.... not tweed though.
It looks more like a linen to me.

Darren Hunt
Darren made the jump to television news in January of 2006 after nearly two decades as a sportswriter for the El Paso Herald-Post and El Paso Times, and two years as a radio morning news/sports talk show host at KROD. During his time with the Herald-Post and Times he was the lead beat writer for UTEP football and basketball, including the final five years of legendary coach Don Haskins' career.
Seven months after arriving at ABC-7, the 38-year-old rookie TV reporter found himself in the middle of the station's award-winning Storm 2006 coverage. "I get asked a lot if I miss sports," he said. "Don't get me wrong, I love sports and sometimes I do miss it. I still get goose bumps when I think of all the leaping touchdown grabs and buzzer beating shots I saw from the front row. But when you're interviewing a woman while standing in four feet of mud and water and she starts crying uncontrollably after she realizes her family has just lost everything ... That's as real as it gets. Football and basketball don't seem quite as important after covering something as devastating as Storm 2006."
Darren's favorite thing to do is break stories. "Think about it," he said. "I mean, everybody likes to be the one to tell somebody something for the first time, right? My goal is to do that every day, but make it news not only to our viewers, but to our competition as well."
His newest assignment is host of ABC-7 Xtra, a weekly broadcast designed to provide viewers in-depth analysis on hot topics.
At age 11 in 1979, Darren's father, Alan, a master sergeant in the Army previously stationed in El Paso, and his mother, Lucia, moved the family to the Sun City. Darren's parents settled in Northeast El Paso, where they still reside. He went on to play varsity basketball and write for his high school newspaper and a sports weekly before graduating from Irvin High School in 1985 and attending UTEP.
Darren cites El Paso Times Editorial Writer Joe Muench, former KVIA anchors Gary Warner and Suzanne Michaels, KVIA General Manager Kevin Lovell, former KVIA news director Eric Huseby, El Paso Times photo editor Ruben Ramirez and most of all -- his mother and father -- as his major influences. Darren spends his free time with his fiancee, Patricia Martinez, morning show host on El Paso's KSII-FM.

text: I am looking for names of your local bee supply shops that you would go to get your beekeeping stuff. There is no real good way to do this. My wife sells Bee plates and sun catchers etc. Our local stores love it. She has a rep that markets her stuff but there is no real list of bee keeping stores. She could sell to Mann lake type and they would add them to their catalog etc but, the bee stores would get a better deal directly from her and make more money themselves. So if you would PM me your local stores or the names of the local B&M bee shops that you know of would be great. She would send them a catalog of her bee related products and they can decided if they want to carry them. Have not met a bee keeping shop owner that does not want more info yet. These sell like hotcakes to us Bee Keepers.

As I research ways on the internet to fix my problems, I find this is a major GM issue, not specifically related to my model and year. Why was there such a major defect for GM owners regarding something so fundamental and dangerous when it doesn't work right? What has GM done to stop this absoulte abysmal Quality Control issue on newer models? Why hasn't GM opened up Tech Service Bulletins on these issues to let the common man figure out what to do? If one searches the internet they will immediately see tons of Fuel Pump failures on GM products. I've already replaced Fuel Pump, Fuel Pressure Regulator and CrankShaft Position sensor and had to finally break down and take it into dealer to get it repaired. This indicates to me that the system is too complex with not enough OBD for the average owner to diagnose and fix. The expense and time involved in resolving this has made me have to admit I bought my very first lemon and it was a 99 GMC Sierra. It is so frustrating, I am considering moving over to Ford for a reliable Fuel System alone.
