Comentários sobre a acomodação
.My stay in Köln was very confortable. The appartment has all you need for a daily uses and all in condicion working. The temperature, condition of the interior house are very good and confortable.
The public transportation (metro) is perct at no more than 100 m. From the appartment.
The public transportation (metro) is perct at no more than 100 m. rom the appartment.
Comments to Arndt, to improve in the future : the internet hasn't the capability of use FaceTime or other image apps because the configuration router or firewall had disabled the functions. Would be much better if enabling those functionalities.
Other pont is about the cleaning of all the appartment.
I finded parts in which the cleaning was no good, for instance in the kitchen area with rest of oil or simply dirty utensils. Must be care this point, please.
The rest was vy good.
First time in Cologne and first time have used Wimdu for accommodation, very satisfied with both.
The apartment was as described, very clean, spacious and was very comfortable.
We were 2 adults sharing and had one bedroom each. The apartment was really well equipped and would be ideal for a family.
Location of the apartment was very convenient for access to city centre via trams, tram stop 200mtrs away.
The communication between myself and the owner of the apt' Arndt and Mrs Brungs was excellent and nothing was too much trouble.
Can highly recommend and would definitely use both Arndt and Wimdu again.
This is a great apartment - nicely decorated, well equipped and very clean. The nearest tram stop is 2 mins away and the centre of Cologne is a 20 min journey. There is an Aldi supermarket a 5-7 min walk away. No problem in meeting up with the housekeeper to get the keys. All very good.
There is everything you need in this nice appartment, close to downtown in 15 minutes with U train. We had perfect communication with the hosts, PRIMA !!
Schöne saubere Wohnung. Alles da was man braucht. Einziges Manko die Wohnung hat keine Rollläden und auch keine Übergardienen. Daher ist es nicht möglich die Wohnung im Sommer kühl zu halten.
- Qualidade do alojamento garantida

MSU students react to Montana student who brought guns to high school
BOZEMAN, Mont. - We told you yesterday about how a teen boy accused of taking two handguns to school may have thought about using them.
Prosecutors say the boy was considering "shooting up the school" for "political reasons" and was carrying two handguns in his backpack all day.
He was arrested at Harrison High School last Friday after he reportedly showed two fellow students the guns and one of them told the principal.
We wanted to know if folks think this hits close to home so, we stopped by Montana State University's campus, Saturday, and spoke with some freshmen.
"Yeah, it does. I come from Colorado and I was still living there when Columbine happened," says MSU student Morgan Harvey.
Roommate Jessie Hathaway says it's hard to comprehend.
"I grew up in a very, very small town where those sorts of things happened to other people in other places and no where near where I live," says Hathaway.
MSU Freshman Brennen Shaw has a different take.
"I feel like people like that are the reason that gives anti-gun activists the ammunition that they need to get rid of guns...If anything, it makes me kind of irritated a local kid would do that seeing as we all use firearms to hunt, to fill our freezers so we can eat during the winter," explains Shaw.

Daniel Watford
Commencement Close-up: Daniel Watford knows he has lots more to do
By Alison Beshur
Public Affairs Specialist
(Dec. 15, 2005)--When Daniel Watford receives his master's degree in public administration Saturday, December 17, it won't serve only as a reminder of what he has accomplished, but what he has left to do.
Watford plans to use the skills and knowledge he has acquired through his studies at UTSA to boost the level of sophistication and professionalism of the nonprofit sector.
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
"Nonprofits fill the gap between what private sector or corporations and government agencies or the public sector can do," Watford said. "I feel the third sector is advantaged when nonprofit leaders have a broad-based education in a field of study."
Watford, a 54-year-old retired command sergeant major of the U.S. Army Finance Corps Regiment and School, earned a bachelor's degree in political science from UTSA in 2003.
Sandie Palomo-Gonzalez, senior program coordinator for UTSA's nonprofit management program, said Watford is seeking American humanics certification at the graduate level through UTSA, one of 10 universities in the country to offer it at that level.
Some of the UTSA course work Watford expects to be especially meaningful includes lessons in strategic planning, organizational management, recruiting and retaining volunteers, understanding stakeholders and intergovernmental relationships.
He already has applied some lessons in his position as executive director of the Community of Churches for Social Action and as administrator of the Childress Memorial Church Of God In Christ.
Through his existing nonprofit affiliations, Watford helped raise approximately $100,000 for Katrina evacuees during religious worship services and has helped coordinate mobile health and mammography unit visits to under-served African American communities.
Francine Romero, one of Watford's professors at UTSA, said he "has enriched our classes through the varied background and experiences he brings with him to the classroom."
Looking into the future, Watford said he hopes to not only share what he has learned, but to encourage and find ways for others to participate in the same educational and training opportunities he has had at UTSA. Ultimately, his goal is to improve services for those who fall through the cracks.

Guesthouse Lost River • Lost River, WV
Escape Kit
- A Two-Night Stay for Two in a Queen or King Room, Fridays and Saturdays
- $25 Dining Credit Each Night
- One Bottle of Wine Delivered to Your Table Each Night
There's the beaten path and then there's the road less traveled––Escape the predictable and mundane with a trip to The Guesthouse Lost River, a hidden relaxation destination amid West Virginia's Appalachian Mountains.
Two hours from both DC and Baltimore, you can trail off from the city life with a stay at this rustically relaxed haven in the hills with water winding to your right and mountains rising to your left.
All signs point toward gorgeous hikes and adventures along the ruggedly beautiful George Washington National Forest and the surrounding 30 private acres of this idyllic property. You'll discover activities plentiful and peaceful at Lost River State Park, open year round with plenty of hiking trails and beautiful views of two states and five counties.
As way leads on to way, trek back home to relax in the indoor Jacuzzi, lounge in the steam room, and sip handcrafted cocktails or craft beer at the bar.
For dinner, clean up your boots for a trip to the inn's on-site restaurant where you'll sup on sumptuous entrées like beef rib eye or beef short ribs, brown sugar-mustard salmon, and penne alla vodka with grilled chicken. Pair each plate with a carefully selected varietal from an extensive wine list.
Spend the rest of your evening rocking on the porch with a good book––or some poetry––before nodding off to sleep in your king-size bed.
For additional information, visit The Guesthouse Lost River on Facebook.
"Just a short two-hour drive from Washington, DC, The Guest House offers a serene escape from the bustle of the city. The main house consists of several different public areas where you can find a secluded couch to curl up and read a book or jump online.-- TripAdvisor

I threw in a little D47 (1 packet) and its currently chugging away. I can hardly wait till primary is done so I can sample just a little bit of it!

Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Gladys, thanks for checking in and all of your kind comments. I'm a little jealous that you are finishing up all of your UFOs. Have a happy holiday.
Nancy in western NY
before you speak THINK
T is it True? H is it Helpful? I is it Inspiring? N is it Necessary? K is it Kind?
Sorry, Gus! I forgot to translate to English!
These data arise from an Excel spreadsheet. I accompany it for anyone who wants to use it!
I hope that someone can open it on your computer and tell me if it works.
The second sheet is in English. The first is my basis of calculation to make sample.
Be careful! Sure everyone has quantity of different parts in each of the blocks.
That's why I try to find the simplest method or follow only of software. But I do not follow strictly the blocks as Jane did them.
Thanks to all for your beautiful words!
I hope to be back very soon! I miss them a lot!
Ah ... MUF = Masterpieces under fermentation! Much better than UFO! HAHAHA!!!
Usted puede ver los siete terminados en estos hilos:
1 y 2 (2 Muf's finished: Christmas Table Runners for 2!);
3 (New MUF's finished: Poster for our friends!);
4 (4° MUF's finished: Casitas!!!),
5 (5° MUF finished: Quilt or Perpetual Calendar!),
6 (6° MUF finished: "Bethlehem Christmas")
y 7 (7° MUF finished: "The sewing basquets").
And now I work in the 8 (Advancement to my 8° MUF: "My Hearts")!!!
A lot of work in month and a half! And it is missing a two more!
A big hug!
Thank you very much, DottyD!
A big hug for you!
Thank you, Nancy! Buth .... just a few! There are too many in 3 years! Hahaha!A big and warm hug for you!
I could not upload the excel file...
And the PDF is not look very well.
If someone want it I can send it to your personal mail!
A big hug to all!
Masterpieces under fermentation!! I LOVE it I will share it with my California quilty friends
I just finished my new favorite block last night - F11 [gonna check thatquilt and auntreen to see if I did anything different... Reen didnt make it yet... thatquilt used lots of freezer paper. I did paper piece the eight wedges, but in order to be sure I had the stripes straight, I made a pattern for that triangle and fussy cut them prior to paper piecing. I traced the curved wedges on the print wedges, placed a piece of white behind them and reverse apliqued. The corner curves I transferred the curved pattern to both the print and 4 - 2" white squares - appliqued the print onto the white and then reverse appliqued to the corners and trimmed down.
happy sewing - another beautiful day in CA - gonna get two of my GS now
Good job Gus. Love this block. Gladys, you have been busy finishing up those MUFs.
WOW!!! It's look so great! And it shows hard! Ayyyyyyy .... what awaits me! Hahaha!!!MUF is not a term created by me. I only adhered to the idea of Kelly's blog Charmen Chatter (http://cottoncharmquilts.typepad.com/) in January 2011. There she explained that it considers that everything that we have unfinished, are masterpieces in fermentation until the day that we find you the "spin" that was needed give terminated.
A big hug!
Hello, Trisha!
Yes! I have been busy with my MUF's! But ... When formerly finished at least 10 that I decided the 1 January... faster... I'll be back playing with my DJ!A big hug!
Oh my gosh! I am soooooo far behind it isn't funny! I'm trying to finish a quilt for my friend....a birthday gift which is Dec 24th. It's last years gift, so yes, I'm behind in that too. I'm itching to do more of my DJ so I may pick it up again this weekend. The blocks shown are all so wonderful!

Town Square
The search for bigfoot goes on
Original post made by Joe, Menlo Park: Allied Arts/Stanford Park, on Aug 20, 2008
I think it goes back, way back, to Thomas Edison in Menlo Park, New Jersey. During one of his experiments with electricity, a big stranger wandered through Edison's outdoor lab, bumped up against a Jacob's Ladder device, and, after a series of unfortunate events that involved massive amounts of electricity, he became a hairy monster with gigantic feet and, as has become apparent, a much longer lifespan.
Like Dr. Frankenstein, Edison alternately loathed and loved his accidental creation. They chatted and ate together on occasion and Edison acted on Bigfoot's behalf when he could not do for himself, such as visits to the haberdasher and the bicycle repair shop.
But Edison could only wring his hands in despair and regret at reports of midnight havoc in local cornfields and watermelon patches, not to mention bicycle tire outlets. (This was a time before the mountain bike and tires just weren't up to the standard we all enjoy today.)
When Edison died, the whole idea behind Menlo Park died with him, at least as far as Bigfoot was concerned. He wanted nothing more to do with New Jersey. But in remembrance of his best pal, he now lives near Menlo Park, California, in a forested area in and around Portola Valley and Woodside.
The locale suits his craving for privacy as well as its proximity to that namesake town. Bigfoot's well-to-do neighbors, the elite of Silicon Valley, are naturally reluctant to invite the scorn of the national media by claiming to have seen him. It's ideal.
His favorite holiday, not surprisingly, is National Gorilla Suit Day, made famous by Mad Magazine cartoonist Don Martin. Sadly the holiday is little celebrated, so he makes do with Halloween.
It is rumors of Bigfoot sightings on Halloween night that brought researchers to Menlo Park.

Tell me, Joe. How do you know all this? Could it be that you're not really "Joe"? Tell me something else,"Joe." What size shoe do you wear?

But how could anyone have ever doubted those guys? They just radiated trust. I'm sure the Bigfoot species really has rubbery skin. Web Link

At last, an intelligent issue we can discuss seriously. We need to have more topics like this on this Town Square blog. It enriches our minds. As a lifetime member of the Flat Earth Society, I say we have lots to talk about.
Furthermore, I not only challenge evolution, but photosynthesis as well. These are mere theories and need to be disputed. Clearly, science and the tabloids have demonstrated that Bigfoot lives. The subject of Bigfoot should be taught in our schools. And, yes, Joe, Menlo Park is an ideal place to conduct a scientific search for him (her?). Just say the word, and I'll get my flashlight. By the way, Joe, congratulations on your newly published exploration book: Through the Alimentary Canal with Gun and Camera.

Bigfoot and I have a mutual nondisclosure agreement. I agree to gives hints as to his continued existence and his lifestyle -- he loves press coverage -- and he agrees to keep quiet about providing me with the occasional Mule deer or California quail for my freezer.
And speaking of the press, I want to squelch this implication by Suspicious that I may be Bigfoot. For one thing, his knowledge of the Microsoft operating system and Internet Explorer are rudimentary at best. He's also a very poor typist, though he does have a good vocabulary.
a resident of Menlo Park: Allied Arts/Stanford Park

Mr Bigfoot is peering through my window. Any Suggestions? No, wait, that is an alien.

Bigfoot, schmigfoot! I have a real live Sasquatch living in my basement.
a resident of Menlo Park: Allied Arts/Stanford Park
on Aug 29, 2008 at 4:05 pm
Dear Penelope - I must say that I am rather surprised to see you publicize that there is a "Sasquatch" in your basement.
We both know that Bigfoot lives in the woods in and around Woodside and Portola Valley -- and that he sometimes sleeps in friends' basements. Perhaps by publicizing this you are trying for a foothold in Bigfoot's publicity apparatus? There is room in my small firm for a young up-and-comer if you're interested.
For those others of you who'd like to know more, Bigfoot does occasionally sleeps over in Woodside and Portola Valley basements. He also enjoys playing bridge and chatting about the politics of the day over wine and he seeks adversaries in manly wrestling matches.
Stay tuned to me, Joe, the only reliable source for the inside scoop on Bigfoot and his life on the Peninsula.
(Penelope, call me.)

It can be a vexing dilemma: whether or not to remove your shoes when visiting someone at home.
There's a marked divide between the "shoes off" people and the "shoes on" folk. Some people believe shoes should always be removed indoors in order to save the carpet and avoid tracking in mud and dirt. Others think being required to take off their shoes while visiting someone's home is inhospitable and verging on OCD.
I don't subscribe to such a polarised view. For me it's much more nuanced than that and is all about context. Yet when you're visiting people for the first time, it's not always straightforward to ascertain whether or not to ditch the footwear prior to entering. Here are some points you may wish to consider.
Age of visitor: The rule of thumb at my house is that children remove their shoes while adults leave theirs on. Firstly, the children are unlikely to be aware if they've just stepped in chewing gum or a fresh pile of doggy-do on the pavement.
Secondly, the children are likely to roam aimlessly through all rooms of the house on multiple occasions. Thirdly, you can be certain that one of the children will accidentally kick another in the face; if they're barefoot then there will be a lot less blood. Adults, on the other hand, are usually much more civilised. They are mostly seated and only venture into a couple of rooms. By the time they're acting worse than the kids, quite frankly, shoes are the least of my worries.
Flooring: If a house is carpeted with wall-to-wall white shag-pile then I'd feel obliged to remove my shoes to ensure it remains pristine. On the other hand, if the flooring is of a robust material such as concrete or stone, I'd be inclined to keep my shoes on since there's little damage they could do to these surfaces.
Life-stage of occupants: The only time I got a bit finicky when people left their shoes on at my home was when I had an infant at the crawling stage. I couldn't help but think that my kid would soon be rolling in, playing on - or, even worse, chewing - whatever the soles of our visitors' shoes were tainted with. With this still vivid in my memory, I always remove my shoes when visiting households with babies or toddlers.
Owner's request: It goes without saying that if the host or homeowner asks you to remove your shoes it's polite to comply without a murmur. Only advanced age, holey socks, serious foot problems or other health issues can be used as a compelling reason for retaining the footwear.
Purpose of visit: If a guest arrives for a social visit then leaving their shoes on is fine at my place. On the other hand if someone is touring a house (as I have done on dozens of occasions in the course of my work as a writer for interiors and lifestyle magazines) then shoes should be off since they'll venturing into private areas of the home. Similarly if someone comes to your house in their capacity as housekeeper, cleaner or nanny then I'd expect that these people would remove their shoes. Again, they'll be constantly on the move and likely to be trekking into many zones of the house. Those who regularly work in domestic settings will often swap their street shoes for soft-soled slippers upon arrival at the residence.
Setting: At a farm house or other rural property it's second nature for everyone to ditch their outside shoes at the door probably because the chances of unmentionables being present on the soles are high. Similarly, in the mountains or other snowy places most of us are inclined to leave our heavy boots on the porch.
Type of footwear: Work boots, gumboots and riding boots must always be left outside the door. No one wants mud or horse manure tracked through their house. For similar reasons, footwear used for gardening and outdoor sports should always be removed, too. And unless the floor is already battered beyond belief, stilettos should never be worn on a wooden floor for fear of denting it.
What are your thoughts on shoe removal? Are you a "shoes off" or "shoes on" type of person? What do you expect from visitors to your home? And how do you behave when visiting other people's houses?

Okay guys, are you ready for a new project? I figured it's a good time to show Taylor how much we love and appreciate all she has done for us by creating a gift for her that will represent just how many of us she has affected and had an impact on. The project I am planning will help her realize that a countless amount of people around the world all have one very special thing in common, TAYLOR SWIFT! So... here it is:
It would mean the world to me if you would join me in this project for Taylor. I'd love for all of you to send me a postcard from where you live and on the back write a note to her. You can tell her anything you would like to say that you haven't gotten the chance to say before- as long as it's POSITIVE! After I receive postcards from a large amount of people, I'll decorate a book and put them all inside of it using protective slides! I think it will be really cool to see postcards from so many different places from all around the world and hope we're successful in doing so! When it's completed I'll send it to Taylor!
You can send the postcards (in an envelope) to:
12 Giles Street
P.O. Box 841
Mansfield,MA 02048

I don't mean to make this overly political but I would like to know how this will change your browsing habits and the services you use. Several large companies, including facebook, google and microsoft support CISPA and to me that will make me accelerate my plans to get off of their services. Anyone else have any thoughts?

Analysis confirms that Alamo Incorporation is fiscally sound
Original post made by Steve Mick, Alamo, on Jul 24, 2008
available as a pdf file on our website.
As expected, the CFA conducted for LAFCO by Winzler & Kelly
conclusively supports the financial practicality of Alamo
incorporation. The CFA confirms that Alamo incorporation is fiscally
sound and substantially exceeds legally required minimums.

Incorporation effort, please visit our website:

On August 7, 2008, Contra Costa Local Agency Formation Commission
(LAFCO), will present incorporation study results in a community meeting held at the Creekside Church, 7PM to 9PM, Danville Blvd at La Serena in Alamo.
Incorporation opposition, supporters and those that differ with current AIM incorporation proposal should attend this meeting and determine if fiscal potential can somehow be defined in a city government that can be supported by a majority in an incorporation election. We encourage regional neighbors to attend this meeting to better understand the financial feasibility and form of government being offered.
Please study, State of California, "A Guide to the LAFCO Process for
Incorporation" - www.calafco.org, click on "resources" for further
And remember, County and county-related meetings use the term
"testimony" to describe commentary, opinion, concern and complaint
voiced by individual residents at their public meetings. Please do not be intimidated by the term 'testimony" and understand that the word is being misused due to its definition, "Evidence given under oath by a competent witness." At no time does your right of commentary, opinion, concern and complaint qualify as "testimony" or are you responsible for any commentary under the rules of law governing "testimony."

Alamo Community Foundation (ACF) may be contacted by e-mail at Alamo Community Foundation, email@example.com.
We recommend e-commentary to ACF prior to the August 7, 2008 meeting so ACF committee and LAFCO can prepare formal response. We again recommend attendance at the August 7, 2008 LAFCO study review meeting, Creekside Church, Danville Blvd at La Serena, Alamo CA.
By using e-mail submission of your commentary and questions, LAFCO and ACF will be better prepared to define study results and the nature of the town government proposed. In attending, neighbors will hear the first-hand responses to neighborhoods' questions and concerns.
Mark you calendar!

For all Diablo Vista (Alamo) region neighbors and their governments:
At tonight's LAFCO meeting, Diablo Vista region neighbors only want to know the definition of the government we can now afford and how that government is the basis of the LAFCO study results.
After neighbors' detailed review of the LAFCO "financials" such definitions are not included and much is based on assumptions of a status quo that will not exist in a new government or will the assumptions of surpluses be valid in separate contract services provided by the county, neighboring cities, and corporations. Every line item requires a detailed definition in a plan narrative so the reality in feasibility studies offered by LAFCO have documented basis in local government structure, operations, staffing, services, commissions, committees, and taskforce (creation).
The upside down nature of municipal governments in the county and neighboring cities is not acceptable to the exceptionally bright, experienced and professionally savvy majority of our region's residents. Their acceptable contract municipality would be led by citizens' commissions, committees and taskforces with the city council acting much like a Board of Directors and the government departments responsible to commissions and committees.
So tonight, as we all celebrate the work of AIM, ACF, LAFCO, neighborhood groups, and community groups in the +four years of incorporation development, we need to seek "community" among all residents through definition of a government for consideration as basis of feasibility of incorporation and support in an incorporation election.

A message to Ms. Jeanine Benca, Contra Costa Times
Dear Jeanine,
Your article fairly presented the questions expressed in the LAFCO/ACF meeting, August 7, 2008, but it implied that the audience had a large population of opposition to incorporation:
1. Less that 10 opponents to incorporation were in the audience and were the authors of the questions challenging the study results. Those opponents come from the Alamo old-timers related to the Alamo Womens' Club and various HOAs within the AIM Boundaries. They represent <200 active opponents to incorporation among HOA and old-timer populations of >2300.
2. Only one member of Diablo Vista region neighborhoods, a resident attorney, was in the audience and he asked no questions and made no comments to anyone. The Diablo Vista region neighborhoods have 5400 voters within the newly restricted AIM boundaries and support a defined incorporation of a CITY of Diablo Vista for their region from Saranap/Rudgear to Diablo Road with active annexation of Walnut Creek and Danville neighborhoods.
3. The remainder of the audience was from <1300 AIM/ACF participants and supporters and fully supported the results of the LAFCO Studies. Typically, 200-300 such participants and supporters attend public events.
We invite your readers to contact Steve Block, Community Relations for Alamo Community Foundation, for further definition of attendance.
Your article reference for community review:

Binghamton University joins community to remember 9/11
Binghamton University, in partnership with a number of community groups, will mark the first anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks in music, words, art and light.
University performers will join with the Binghamton Community Orchestra, the Binghamton Philharmonic and the Tri-Cities Opera Company for "An Evening of Remembrance and Hope" at 8 p.m. Wednesday, September 11, in the Anderson Center Concert Theater.
Earlier in the day, the University community will observe two moments of silence — at 8:46 a.m. and 10:29 a.m. — to coincide with the timing of the attacks on the Trade Center. The Library Tower carillon will sound to mark the end of the second silence. The moment of silence was requested by Governor Pataki to mark when the first plane struck the first tower and when the second tower collapsed.
The day will also include a candlelight vigil on the Peace Quad sponsored by the Student Association and the opening of a special exhibit in the University Art Museum.
The Evening of Remembrance will feature a Remembrance Chorus and Orchestra, which will draw participants from the University, the Philharmonic, Tri-Cities Opera as well as members of the Downtown Singers, the Madrigal Choir, several area church and high school choirs. The University Theatre Department and clergy representing Christian, Jewish and Muslim faiths will offer inspirational readings and thoughts.
Tickets are free and available beginning noon Thursday, September 5, at the Anderson Center Box Office. A limit of four tickets per person will be issued. For tickets and information call 777-ARTS.
The Student Association is planning a candlelight vigil in the Peace Quad following the concert. Details are still being developed.
In connection with the remembrance, the University Art Museum, FA-179, will offer an exhibit on the campus and community response to the events. It is expected to include news clippings, photos and audiovisual materials.
The exhibit will open at 10 a.m. Wednesday, September 11, and will remain open through 8 p.m. that evening. Thereafter the exhibit will be open from 1-4 p.m. Thursdays through Sundays until October 13. For more information about the exhibit, contact Silvia Ivanova at 777-4763.

Improving College Programs for Disadvantaged Students
The U.S. Department of Education has announced that 81 colleges and universities that serve a significant number of disadvantaged and minority students will receive $19.2 million to improve academic programs, facilities, administration and student services.
The grants are awarded under two programs authorized by the Higher Education Act: the Strengthening Institutions Program under Title III, Part A; and the Minority Science and Engineering Improvement Program under Part E.
The Strengthening Institutions Program aims to help eligible schools attract and retain more students by helping the institutions improve their programs and facilities, update technology, increase student achievement and offer faculty development opportunities. An eligible school must have a sufficient percentage of financially needy students and have lower budgets than other comparable schools.
The Minority Science and Engineering Improvement Program supports long-range improvements in engineering and science disciplines at predominantly minority institutions, which are defined as schools with more than 50 percent minority enrollment. The goal is to increase the number of qualified ethnic minorities, especially minority women, who enroll in school and pursue careers in science and engineering.

Anchors Aweigh! for a Smart Start
By Raymond Simon, Little Rock, Ark.
The most valuable fringe benefit of my job as Arkansas' chief state school officer is being able to witness excellence on a daily basis in our state's schools.
Typical of these successes is Boone Park Elementary School in the North Little Rock School District. Beginning in the fall of 1999, Boone Park, a high-poverty urban school, became a pilot site for a model classroom designed around a school-based literacy coach. The coach was a teacher, trained specifically to work with other teachers on reading and writing instruction, and was present in the classroom every day.
The model targeted first-grade students and followed them over three years keeping them together from the second through fourth grades. Something else followed them as well: an insatiable hunger for reading. When children were asked about their favorite subject, typical answers such as "recess" and "lunch" were replaced by the exuberant responses of "reading" and "writing"!
Other evidence of the model's success were dramatic gains on both standardized and performance-based measures. By the spring of 2000, the average reading score of these first-graders on the Stanford Achievement Test was 79 percent. "We've never seen test scores at Boone Park like this before!" said Esther Crawford, director of elementary education in the North Little Rock District. On performance-based reading assessments, all children from the model classrooms were reading at second-grade level or above.
What we saw at Boone Park was duplicated in 21 other pilot sites, where student achievement increased 20 percent or higher over previous years. From a total of 988 first-graders, 80 percent approached, met or exceeded the standard in reading during the 2000-01 school year. By second grade, these same students continued to make gains, increasing to 87 percent those who were at or above proficient reading levels. For three continuous years, all sampled schools, where the average poverty rate was 80 percent, had 84 percent of their first-grade children meeting or exceeding proficiency levels in reading.
Our literacy coach model is just one component in a series of efforts to support Arkansas' comprehensive school reform plan. With a laser-like focus on high standards in reading, writing, mathematics and character-centered teaching, we launched the Smart Start Literacy Initiative in May 1998 to give unprecedented support to our teachers and administrators.
The initiative involved 10,000 K-4 educators and 60 full-time school-based literacy coaches statewide. Activities focused on the needs of classroom teachers, specialized training and support for schools in implementing comprehensive literacy services, including Reading Recovery and early literacy groups for struggling readers in kindergarten through third grade.
|"Those who play semantic games or try to tinker with state numbers to lock out parents and the public stand in the way of progress and reform. They are the enemies of equal justice and equal opportunity. They are apologists for failure."
U.S. Secretary of Education Rod Paige, in an October 23 letter to state school chiefs on implementing No Child Left Behind.
The Smart Start initiative, statewide staff development and literacy coach trainingcoupled with a persistent search for excellence among our teachers and principals-have resulted in the highest level of performance ever by Arkansas fourth-graders on reading and writing exams, according to spring 2002 scores.
Our work has truly been a collaborative effort among literacy specialists at the Arkansas Department of Education, the state's 15 education service cooperatives, and the Early Literacy Training Center at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock.
Smart Start was launched with the following admonition: "Teaching is more for tomorrow than today. Unless all of us believe that all children can learn, we chart our future tethered to an anchor of mediocrity." Today, however, we can truly say, "Anchors aweigh!"
Raymond Simon is the director of the Arkansas Department of Education, a position he has held since September 1997. In his 37 years in education, Simon has served as a mathematics teacher, food service administrator, technology administrator and superintendent. He currently serves on the National Assessment Governing Board, which sets policy for the National Assessment of Educational Progress.
Close-Up On: No Child Left BehindTeacher Training
Under Title II, Part A, of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, the Improving Teacher Quality State Grants program aims to increase student achievement by elevating teacher and principal quality through recruitment, hiring and retention strategies.
Under the law, each state education agency must have developed a plan to ensure that all teachers are highly qualified by the end of the 2005-06 school year. The plan must establish annual, measurable objectives for each local school district and school to ensure that they meet the "highly qualified" requirement. In general, a highly qualified teacher has a bachelor's degree, demonstrated competence in the subject matter and teaching skills, and full certification or a passing grade on state teaching exams and a license to teach. As Secretary Paige suggested in his annual report on teacher quality (https:/www.title2.org/index.htm), states should work to raise their academic standards for teachers while removing barriers that are keeping talented people out of the classroom.
Focusing on what works, the teacher quality program also requires that teacher training activities be based on scientific research, and states must explain how such training activities are expected to improve student achievement. For example, if a state decides to fund interventions such as professional development in math, it must be able to show how those activities are correlated with increases in student achievement.
For the next few weeks, The Achiever will take a break for the holidays. We will resume publication with our January 15, 2003, issue. Happy Holidays to all of our readers!
To help parents make good decisions about their children's schools, every year principals must attest to whether a school is in compliance with the "highly qualified" teacher requirement, and this information must be maintained at the school and district offices where it must be made available to the public upon request. This information also must be included on the state report cards required under Title I guidelines.
Beginning in the 2002-03 school year, the state must report each year on performance measures that indicate the percentage of teachers who are highly qualified and the percentage of teachers who are participating in high-quality professional development in order to become highly qualified. These reporting requirements include measures such as changes in the percentage of students who are proficient in reading by the end of the third grade and changes in the percentage of students who graduate from high school.

The Results Are In! Reading Scores from The Nation's Report Card
Results for the 2000 National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) reading assessment of the nation's fourth-graders are inand they show a relatively stable pattern in students' average reading scores during the last decade.
Highlights of The Nation's Report Card: Fourth-Grade Reading 2000 are available in a full-color publicationreplete with graphsthat describes the assessment content, presents major findings and provides information about students' school and home experiences related to literacy. This publication also includes sample test questions and examples of student responses. For a copy, visit http://nces.ed.gov/nationsreportcard/reading, or call 1-877-4ED-PUBS, while supplies last.
Since 1992, the current NAEP reading assessment has been given in four different years (in 1992, 1994, 1998 and 2000) to a nationally representative sample of fourth-grade students. The most recent sample includes approximately 9,000 students in 433 schools across the country.
NAEP is a project of the National Center for Education Statistics in the U.S. Department of Education and is overseen by the National Assessment Governing Board. The results of the reading assessment administered this year to students in grades 4, 8 and 12 will be available in the spring of 2003.

Fed law sez min 18" bbl length and 26" overall length. Bbl length is measured by dropping a rod down the bbl against the closed bolt and marking at muzzle end. Overall is measured with stock extended. It is best to have some "extra" as the guy measuring it in the field might be off a 1/4" or so. if you permanently attach a muzzle device, the device is measured as part of the bbl.
That's Fed law, state and local laws vary MI and Kali have some weird laws concerning bbl and overall length.

Paul Allen Calls Windows 8 "Puzzling" and "Confusing Initially"

Allen says people will get used to the changes
Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen left the company in 1983 after being diagnosed with Hodgkin's disease. He has recently made comments about Windows 8 and believes that people will eventually learn to like the OS. However, he recently stated that Windows 8 was "puzzling" and "confusing initially." Allen made comments on a post this week made on his personal blog.
Allen says that he has been running Windows 8 Release Preview, which shipped back in May, on his desktop and on a Samsung 700T. That is the tablet that Microsoft is been handing out to developers, analysts, and some members of the press to get them to try out Windows 8.
"The bimodal user experience can introduce confusion, especially when two versions of the same application -- such as Internet Explorer -- can be opened and run simultaneously," Allen said.
The two user interfaces that Allen is talking about are the Windows 8 style, previously called Metro, offering a minimalist look and the classic view that looks like a slightly modified Windows 7 desktop. Allen also criticized some of the changes to the operating system that have been voiced by other users as well.
"Strangely, there is no way to set the desktop as your default view (there should be)," Allen wrote. "This is one of the single biggest changes in Windows 8: the lack of the familiar Start menu."
"I found myself wishing that a Power tile was available on the Start screen to make these commands more accessible," Allen continued.
Ultimately, Allen says that even with the quirks of the new operating system that Windows 8 would be manageable by users. He also believes that Microsoft will address any issues with its next release. Some of the issues Allen mentions are reasons beleived to be contributing to the
slow adoption
of early versions of Windows 8.
"Then they pop up and say 'Hello, surprise! Give us your money or we will shut you down!' Screw them. Seriously, screw them. You can quote me on that." -- Newegg Chief Legal Officer Lee Cheng referencing patent trolls

Angela and Nannette are Wear Red Friday Heroes
Helping military families at their most vulnerable
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo - One building at Fort Carson is literally a lifeline of hope and help for grieving families of military who've died in the service of our country. It's called the Fallen Heroes Family Center. Inside the building are pictures of military who've made the ultimate sacrifice.
Survivor Outreach Services or SOS is a key player inside the center to help families deal with their heart wrenching pain. Angela Gunn is the program manager. She told me it's an honor to be part of this kind of help for families, "It's a tough job but we have to do it to help the families get through it all." She showed me two pictures of many on the walls, nearly side by side to each other that touched her heart. These were two families who live in opposite parts of Colorado Springs who never knew one another but were now united in loss., "Christopher went to Widefield High School and Richard went to Mesa Ridge. They lived on separate sides in Widefield and the circumstances that happened to them were that they died not too far apart. Their parents have become real close to one another."
The Fallen Heroes Family Center opened in 2010. Nanette Byrne-Haupt's husband Ryan was killed in battle, too. She is now the SOS family support coordinator. She said she had to be part of the center and SOS to give back to the military community. She told me, "That's when the healing takes place, when survivors meet with other survivors."
There are more than 100 pictures on the wall from all branches of the military at the center at Fort Carson. Ultimately, this place is a lifeline that gives back to families in so many ways.
Angela and Nannette's devotion to this duty to help others is why they are our Wear Red Friday Heroes
